Doherty

1 There are two things I have always wanted to do -- write and live on a farm. Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country.

有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。如今我同时做着这两件事。作为作家,我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级,作为农场主,我和乡邻也不是同一类人,不过我应付得还行。在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后,我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。

2 It's a self-reliant sort of life. We grow nearly all of our fruits and vegetables. Our hens keep us in eggs, with several dozen left over to sell each week. Our bees provide us with honey, and we cut enough wood to just about make it through the heating season.

这是一种自力更生的生活。我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋,每星期还能剩余几十个出售。自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜,我们还自己动手砍柴,足可供过冬取暖之用。

3 It's a satisfying life too. In the summer we canoe on the river, go picnicking in the woods and take long bicycle rides. In the winter we ski and skate. We get excited about sunsets. We love the smell of the earth warming and the sound of cattle lowing. We watch for hawks in the sky and deer in the cornfields.

这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟,在林子里野餐,骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息,爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空,看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。

4 But the good life can get pretty tough. Three months ago when it was 30 below, we spent two miserable days hauling firewood up the river on a sled. Three months from now, it will be 9

5 above and we will be cultivating corn, weeding strawberries and killing chickens. Recently, Sandy and I had to retile the back roof. Soon Jim, 1

6 and Emily, 13, the youngest of our four children, will help me make some long-overdue improvements on the outdoor toilet that supplements our indoor plumbing

when we are working outside. Later this month, we'll spray the orchard, paint the barn, plant the garden and clean the hen house before the new chicks arrive.

但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前,气温降到华氏零下30度,我们辛苦劳作了整整两天,用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月,气温会升到95度,我们就要给玉米松土,在草莓地除草,还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候,四个孩子中的两个小的,16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉,会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下,那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候,我们要给果树喷洒药水,要油漆谷仓,要给菜园播种,要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。

5 In between such chores, I manage to spend 50 to 60 hours a week at the typewriter or doing reporting for the freelance articles I sell to magazines and newspapers. Sandy, meanwhile, pursues her own demanding schedule. Besides the usual household routine, she oversees the garden and beehives, bakes bread, cans and freezes, drives the kids to their music lessons, practices with them,

takes organ lessons on her own, does research and typing for me, writes an article herself now and then, tends the flower beds, stacks a little wood and delivers the eggs. There is, as the old saying goes, no rest for the wicked on a place like this -- and not much for the virtuous either. 在这些活计之间,我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时,不是打字撰文,就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务,她还照管菜园和蜂房,烘烤面包,将食品装罐、冷藏,开车送孩子学音乐,和他们一起练习,自己还要上风琴课,为我做些研究工作并打字,自己有时也写写文章,还要侍弄花圃,堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样,在这种情形之下,坏人不得闲――贤德之人也歇不了。

6 None of us will ever forget our first winter. We were buried under five feet of snow from December through March. While one storm after another blasted huge drifts up against the house and barn, we kept warm inside burning our own wood, eating our own apples and loving every minute of it.

我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底,我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐,一

场接着一场,积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓,而室内,我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖,吃着自家种植的苹果,温馨快乐每一分钟。

7 When spring came, it brought two floods. First the river overflowed, covering much of our land for weeks. Then the growing season began, swamping us under wave after wave of produce. Our freezer filled up with cherries, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, peas, beans and corn. Then our canned-goods shelves and cupboards began to grow with preserves, tomato juice, grape juice, plums, jams and jellies. Eventually, the basement floor disappeared under piles of potatoes, squash and pumpkins, and the barn began to fill with apples and pears. It was amazing.

开春后,有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢,我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了,一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来,弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆满一罐罐的腌渍食品,有番茄汁、葡萄汁、李子、果酱和果冻。最后,地窖里遍地是大堆大堆的土豆、西葫芦、南

瓜,谷仓里也储满了苹果和梨。真是太美妙了。

8 The next year we grew even more food and managed to get through the winter on firewood that was mostly from our own trees and only 100 gallons of heating oil. At that point I began thinking seriously about quitting my job and starting to freelance. The timing was terrible. By then, Shawn and Amy, our oldest girls were attending expensive Ivy League schools and we had only a few thousand dollars in the bank. Yet we kept coming back to the same question: Will there ever be a better time? The answer, decidedly, was no, and so -- with my employer's blessings and half a year's pay in accumulated benefits in my pocket -- off I went.

第二年我们种了更多的作物,差不多就靠着从自家树林砍斫的木柴以及仅仅100加仑的燃油过了冬。其时,我开始认真考虑起辞了职去从事自由撰稿的事来。时机选得实在太差。当时,两个大的女儿肖恩和埃米正在费用很高的常春藤学校上学,而我们只有几千美金的银行存款。但我们一再回到一个老问题上来:真的会有更好的时机吗?答案无疑是否定的。于是,带着老板的祝福,口袋里揣着作为累积津贴的半年薪水,我走了。

9 There have been a few anxious moments since then, but on balance things have gone much better than we had any right to expect. For various stories of mine, I've crawled into black-bear dens for Sports Illustrated, hitched up dogsled racing teams for Smithsonian magazine, checked out the Lake Champlain "monster" for Science Digest, and canoed through the Boundary Waters wilderness area of Minnesota for Destinations.

那以后有过一些焦虑的时刻,但总的来说,情况比我们料想的要好得多。为了写那些内容各不相同的文章,我为《体育画报》爬进过黑熊窝;为《史密森期刊》替参赛的一组组狗套上过雪橇;为《科学文摘》调查过尚普兰湖水怪的真相;为《终点》杂志在明尼苏达划着小舟穿越美、加边界水域内的公共荒野保护区。

10 I'm not making anywhere near as much money as

I did when I was employed full time, but now we don't need as much either. I generate enough income to handle our $600-a-month mortgage payments plus the usual expenses for a family like ours. That includes everything from music lessons and dental bills to car repairs and college costs. When it

comes to insurance, we have a poor man's major-medical policy. We have to pay the first $500 of any medical fees for each member of the family. It picks up 80% of the costs beyond that. Although we are stuck with paying minor expenses, our premium is low -- only $560 a year -- and we are covered against catastrophe. Aside from that and the policy on our two cars at $400 a year, we have no other insurance. But we are setting aside $2,000 a year in an IRA.

我挣的钱远比不上担任全职工作时的收入,可如今我们需要的钱也没有过去多。我挣的钱足以应付每月600美金的房屋贷款按揭以及一家人的日常开销。那些开销包括了所有支出,如音乐课学费、牙医账单、汽车维修以及大学费用等等。至于保险,我们买了一份低收入者的主要医疗项目保险。我们需要为每一位家庭成员的任何一项医疗费用支付最初的500美金。医疗保险则支付超出部分的80%。虽然我们仍要支付小部分医疗费用,但我们的保险费也低--每年只要560美金--而我们给自己生大病保了险。除了这一保险项目,以及两辆汽车每年400美金的保险,我们就没有其他保险了。不过我们每年留出2000美元入个人退休金账户。

11 We've been able to make up the difference in income by cutting back without appreciably lowering our standard of living. We continue to dine out once or twice a month, but now we patronize local restaurants instead of more expensive places in the city. We still attend the opera and ballet in Milwaukee but only a few times a year. We eat less meat, drink cheaper wine and see fewer movies. Extravagant Christmases are a memory, and we combine vacations with story assignments...

我们通过节约开支而又不明显降低生活水准的方式来弥补收入差额。我们每个月仍出去吃一两次饭,不过现在我们光顾的是当地餐馆,而不是城里的高级饭店。我们仍去密尔沃基听歌剧看芭蕾演出,不过一年才几次。我们肉吃得少了,酒喝得便宜了,电影看得少了。铺张的圣诞节成为一种回忆,我们把完成稿约作为度假的一部分……12 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing

anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.

我想,不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。这种生活需要一些特殊的素质。其一是耐得住寂寞。由于我们如此忙碌,手头又紧,我们很少请客。在作物生长季节,根本就没工夫参加社交活动。吉米和埃米莉虽然参加学校的各种活动,但他俩大多数时间也呆在家里。

13 The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.

另一项要求是体力――相当大的体力。小范围里实现自给自足的途径是抵制诱惑,不去购置拖拉机和其他昂贵的节省劳力的机械。相反,你要自己动手。我们仅有的机器(不包括割草机)是一台3马力的小型旋转式耕耘机以及一架16英寸的链锯。

14 How much longer we'll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody's guess -- perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, we'll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we've been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. We've invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again.

没人知道我们还能有精力在这里再呆多久--也许呆很长一阵子,也许不是。到走的时候,我们会怆然离去,但也会为自己所做的一切深感自豪。我们把农场出售也会赚相当大一笔钱。我们自己在农场投入了约35,000美金的资金,要是现在售出的话价格差不多可以翻一倍。不过现在不是出售的好时机。但是一旦经济形势好转,对我们这种农场的需求又会增多。

15 We didn't move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting

eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know we've found just what we were looking for.

但我们主要不是为了赚钱而移居至此的。我们来此居住是因为想提高生活质量。当我看着埃米莉傍晚去收鸡蛋,跟吉米一起在河上钓鱼,或和全家人一起在果园里享用老式的野餐,我知道,我们找到了自己一直在寻求的生活方式。

Unit1 Text B American Family Life: The Changing

Picture Donna Barron

1 It's another evening in an American household.

美国家庭生活 变化中的景象

唐娜?巴伦

这是美国家庭一个寻常的傍晚。

2 The door swings open at 5:30 sharp. "Hi, honey!

I'm home!" In walks dear old Dad, hungry and tired after a

long day at the office. He is greeted by Mom in her apron, three happy children, and the aroma of a delicious pot

roast.

门在5 30 准时推开。“嗨 亲爱的 我回来了 ”亲爱的老爸走了进来 他在办公室上了一天的

班 肚子饿了 人也累了。迎接他的是系着围裙的妈妈 3 个快乐的孩子以及炖肉诱人的香味。

3 After a leisurely meal together, Mom does the dishes. That, after all, is part of her job. The whole family

then moves to the living room. There everyone spends the evening playing Scrabble or watching TV.全家人从容地吃完饭后 妈妈就刷洗碗碟。反正这是她的活。接着全家人聚在起居室。一个晚上大

家玩玩牌 看看电视。

4 Then everyone is off to bed. And the next morning Dad and the kids wake up to the sounds and smells of

Mom preparing pancakes and sausages for breakfast.随后各自上床睡觉。第二天早上 爸爸和孩子们在妈妈准备早餐发出的声响和薄饼、香肠散发的香

味中醒来。

5 (1) What? You say that doesn't sound like life in your house? Well, you're not alone. In fact, you're probably

in the majority. 什么 你说那听起来不像你府上的生活 其实 不仅仅是你一个人这么想。事实上

大多数人很可能都跟你一样这么想的。

6 At one time in America, the above household might have been typical. You can still visit such a home -- on

television. Just watch reruns of old situation comedies. (2) Leave it to Beaver, for example, shows Mom doing

housework in pearls and high heels. Dad keeps his suit and tie on all weekend. But the families that operate like

Beaver Cleaver's are fewer and fewer. They're disappearing because three parts of our lives have changed: the way

we work, the way we eat, and the way we entertain ourselves. Becoming aware of the effects of those changes

may help us improve family life.

上面描述的家庭可以说在美国曾一度相当典型。如今你仍能见到这样的家庭――不过得在电视里。

只要看一看那些重播的情景剧老片子。例如 《交给比弗

吧》一剧中妈妈带着珍珠项链、穿着高跟鞋做家

务。爸爸整个周末都穿着西装 戴着领带。但像比弗?克立弗那样的家庭越来越少了。那样的家庭正在消

失 因为我们生活中的三个部分发生了变化 我们的工作方式 餐饮方式以及娱乐方式。了解这些变化所

带来的影响也许有助于我们改善家庭生活。

7 Let's look first at the changes in the way we work. Today the words "Hi, honey! I'm home!" might not be

spoken by dear old Dad. Dear old Mom is just as likely to be saying them. A generation ago, most households

could get along on one paycheck -- Dad's. Mom stayed home, at least until the children started school. But today,

over half the mothers with young children go to work. An even greater percentage of mothers of older children are

in the workforce. And the number of single-parent homes has mushroomed in the last thirty years.

我们先来看一下我们工作方式的变化。今天 “嗨 亲爱的 我回家了 ”这句话可能不是出自亲爱

的老爸之口。亲爱的老妈也同样可能说这句话。在上一代 大多数家庭可以靠一份工资――爸爸的工资――

维持。妈妈呆在家里 至少在孩子上学前是如此。但今天 一半以上有幼儿的母亲外出工作。在职人员中

有大孩子的母亲的比例更高。而单亲家庭的数量在过去30 年中急剧增长。

8 These changes in work have affected children as well as parents. When only Dad went out to work, children

came home from school to Mom. (In TV situation comedies, they came home to Mom and home-baked cookies)

Today, we'll find them at an after-school program or a neighbor's house. Or they may come home to no one at all.

In every community, children are caring for themselves until their parents return from work. Are these children

missing out on an important part of childhood? Or are they developing a healthy sense of self-reliance? These are

questions that Mrs. Cleaver never had to deal with.

工作方面的这些变化影响着家长以及孩子。当父亲一人外出上班时 孩子们放学回家有妈妈在。 在

情景电视剧里 他们回家有妈妈在 还有家里做的饼干 如今 我们会在晚托班或邻居家里见到他们。要

不他们就回到空无一人的家。在各社区 孩子们都自己照管自己 直到父母下班回家。这些孩子会不会失

去童年时期本应有的一些重要的东西 还是会因此培养起一种健康的自立意识 这些问题是克立弗太太

过去从来不用操心的。

9 In addition, Dad and now Mom are often gone from home longer than ever. Not too long ago, most men worked close to home. The office or factory was just downtown. Dad often walked to work or hitched a ride with

a friendly neighbor. But no more.

此外 爸爸 如今还有妈妈 在外的时间常常比以往任何时候都长。不多久前 大多数男人还就近

工作。办公室或者工厂就在市区。爸爸经常走着去上班 或者顺路搭友好邻居的车。但现在不一样了。

10 Today's working men and women are commuters. They travel distances to work that would have made their parents gasp. Commutes of forty-five minutes

or an hour are common. Workers travel on buses, subways,

and crowded highways. Many leave their suburban homes at dawn and don't return until dark. No running home

for lunch for today's commuter.

今天的上班男女都是坐车来回的。他们上班距离之远会让他们的父母惊讶得倒抽一口凉气。45 分钟

或1 小时的车程是常见的。上班族坐公共汽车、地铁 或开车行驶在交通拥挤的公路上。不少人一清早就

离开位于郊区的家 一直要到天黑了才回来。今天的通勤族不再赶回家吃午饭。

11 And speaking of lunch, there's been a second big change in American family life. If both parents are away

from home for long hours, who's whipping up those delicious meals in the kitchen? The answer, more and more, is

nobody.

说起午饭 那正是美国家庭生活的第二大变化。要是父母都长时间不在家 那谁在厨房里忙着准备

美味的菜肴呢 越来越多听到的回答是没有人做饭。

12 These days, few people have time to shop for and prepare "home-style" meals. The Cleavers were used to

dinners of pot roast or chicken. Potatoes, salad, and vegetables went with the main course, with pie or cake for

dessert. But this kind of meal takes several hours to fix. People can't spend hours in the kitchen if they get home at

5:30.

如今 很少人有时间采购、烹制“家常”饭菜。克立弗一家常常吃炖肉或炖鸡 除主菜外还有土豆、

色拉、蔬菜 甜食是馅饼或蛋糕。但烧这种饭菜要花几个小时。要是人们5 30 才回到家 就无法在厨房

里呆上几个小时。

13 So what do working families eat? They choose meals that are easy to prepare or are already prepared. Fast

food, takeout, and heat-and-serve dishes make up much of the modern American diet. Dad may arrive home with

a bag of Big Macs and shakes. Mom may phone out for

A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西 1A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西 When I was 14 , I earned money in the summer by mowing lawns , and I got to know people by the flowers I had to remember not to cut down , by the things stuck in the ground on purpose or by the things lost in the grass . I also learned something about my neighbors in Louisville , Ky. , by their preferred method of payment : by the job , the month -- or not at all . 在十四岁的时候,我利用暑假时间给人割杂草挣点零花钱,通过这个机会,我接触了形形色色的人,有的人告诉我割草时不许伤害园子里的花,有的人故意给地里插些东西,有的人在园子的草地上丢了东西。我还通过付款方式了解了我肯塔基州路易维尔的邻居们,他们有的按照工作量付钱,有的按月付,有的干脆不给钱。 2Mr Ballou fell into the last category , and he always had a reason. One day he had nothing smaller than a fifty . On another he was flat-out of checks ; on another he was simply not home when I knocked on his door . Still , except for the money , he was a nice enough old guy , always waving or tipping his hat when he'd seen me from a distance . I figured him for a thin retirement check , maybe an injury that kept him doing his own yardwork . I kept a running total , but didn't worry about the amount too much . Grass was grass , and the little that was Mr Ballou's didn't take long to trim. 巴卢先生属于最后一种人,而且他总是有不付钱的借口。有时是因为他没有少于五十美分的零钱,有时是因为支票上没钱,有时当我敲门时他根本不在家。不过,除了不给钱外,他还是个很不错的老人,每次总是在很远的地方看见我就挥挥他的帽子,或用手指碰一下他的帽檐,跟我打招呼。我猜想他一定只有微薄的退休金,很有可能是因为受过伤所以不能干院里的杂活。我坚持了整整一个暑假,但是并不很担心他欠我的钱。他园子里的杂草还是像过去一样的疯长,隔上好久巴卢先生才清理一次。 3Then one late afternoon in mid-July I was walking by his house , and he motioned me to come inside . The hall was cool , shaded , and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the muted light. 4" I owe you , " Mr Ballou began , " but...." 5I thought I'd save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse . "No problem. Don't worry about it." 后来,在七月中旬的一个傍晚,我路过他门前时,他招呼我进去。他房子的大厅又冷又暗,过了几分钟我才渐渐适应了屋内昏暗的光线。 "我还欠你钱呢,"他跟我说到,"不过....." 我想我还是不用让他劳神想个借口了,就说:"没关系的,不要紧."

新视野大学英语3课文翻译 第一课无限的爱 我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产,因为缺氧导致大脑受损。两年后,我出生了。 从此以后,我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。 伴随我成长的,是“到外面去玩,把你哥哥也带上。” 不带上他,我是哪里也去不了的。因此,我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来,尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。 我母亲教吉米学习日常自理,比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。 我父亲宅心仁厚,他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。 我则负责外面的事,找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母,告他们的状,为我哥哥讨回公道。 父亲和吉米形影不离。 他们一道吃早饭,平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心,他们都在那里工作,吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。 晚饭后,他们一道交谈,玩游戏,直到深夜。 他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。 所以,父亲1991年因心脏病去世时,吉米几乎崩溃了,尽管他尽量不表现出来。 他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。 通常,他是一个令人愉快的人,现在却一言不发,无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。 我雇了一个人和他住在一起,开车送他去上班。然而,不管我怎么努力地维持原状,吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。 有一天,我问他:“你是不是想念爸爸?” 他的嘴唇颤抖了几下,然后问我:“你怎么看,玛格丽特?他是我最好的朋友。” 接着,我俩都流下了眼泪。 六个月后,母亲因肺癌去世,剩下我一人来照顾吉米。 吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着,因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。 我走到哪里他就跟到哪里,他好像适应得很好。 但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里,继续干他原来的工作。我答应把他送回去。 此事最后做成了。 如今,他在那里生活了11年,在许多人的照料下,同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。 他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。 如果你有邮件要收,或有狗要遛,他就是你所要的人。 当然,母亲的话没错:可以有一个家,既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。

Lesson 3 3.3 Steve Forbes on Forbes 我祖父二十世纪初来到美国,他离开苏格兰时身上没有什么钱。连他在内有兄弟姐妹10人,不过他自小受到很好的教育。像许多人一样,他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。** 他创办了《福布斯》杂志,报道那些实干家,那些给商业社会带来变革的人。 我祖父常说,做生意不是为了堆积百万财富,而是为了带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司和经营,文章中会用到许多数字,但是焦点一直放在人上面。**对公司而言,最重要的是人,而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的,我们现在也这样看。 ** 当前世界信息泛滥,足以将人淹么其中,人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息,告诉读者哪些重要哪些可以不必理会。这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面,总想看看公司到底如何经营的,正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。 3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts company Distinguished guests, dear friends: I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.

【《新编实用英语综合教程3》第一单元课文翻译答案】 Promotion Methods 推广方法 A marketing manager can choose from several promotion methods-personal selling, mass selling and sales promotion 营销经理可以选择几种推广方法---个人销售,大量销售,推广和销售 Personal selling-flexibility is its strength. Personal selling involves direct face –to- face communication between sellers and potential customers face-to-face selling also provides immediate feedback-which helps sales people to adapt salespeople are included in most marketing mixes .but personal selling can be very expensive. So its often desirable to combine personal selling with mass selling and sales promotion. 个人销售的灵活性是它的强项。 个人销售包括直接面对面销售商之间的沟通和潜在客户面对面的销售也提供即时的反馈,这有助于在大多数营销组合,以适应销售人员包括销售人员,但个人销售可能会非常昂贵。因此,它往往需要结合个人销售质量的销售和促销。 Mass selling –reaching millions at a price or even free Mass selling is communicating with large numbers of potential customers at the same time .it less flexible than personal selling. But when the target market is large and scattered, mass selling can be less expensive. 大规模抛盘达到数百万??的价格,甚至免费 大规模销售的同时有大量的潜在客户沟通。个人销售它不够灵活。但是,当目标市场是大而分散的,大规模的销售,可以更便宜。 Advertising is the main form of mass selling. Advertising is any paid form of nonpersonal presentation of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Its includes the use of such media as magazines, newspapers, radio and TV, signs, and direct mail. While advertising must be paid for , another form of mass selling –publicity-is free 广告是大规模销售的主要形式。广告是任何付费的形式确定赞助商的想法,产品或服务的非个人介绍。它包括杂志,报纸,广播,电视,招牌,和直邮等媒体的使用。虽然必须支付,另一种形式的大规模销售宣传广告是免费的 Publicity is any unpaid form of nonpersonal presentation of ideas, goods, or services. Of course, publicity people are paid. But they try to attract attention to the firm and its offerings without having to pay media costs. For example, book publishers try to get authors on TV “talk shows” because this generate a lot of interest-and book sales-at no cost to the publisher. When Coleco introduced its cabbage Patch dolls, it held press parties for reporters and they children. A number of reporters wrote “human interest” stories about their kids “adopting” the cute dolls. Those stories prompted more media attention-and a very successful product introduction without Coleco doing any introductory advertising. 宣传未付任何形式的非个人的想法,产品或服务的介绍。当然,宣传人支付。但是,他们试图吸引关注公司和它的产品,而无需支付媒体费用。例如,本书,出版商试图让作

unit 6 The Last Leaf When Johnsy fell seriously ill, she seemed to lose the will to hang on to life. The doctor held out little hope for her. Her friends seemed helpless. Was there nothing to be done? 约翰西病情严重,她似乎失去了活下去的意志。医生对她不抱什么希望。朋友们看来也爱莫能助。难道真 的就无可奈何了吗? 1 At the top of a three-story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio. "Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at a cafe on Eighth Street and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted. 在一幢三层砖楼的顶层,苏和约翰西辟了个画室。“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。她们一位来自缅因州,一 位来自加利福尼亚。两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆,发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉,以及灯笼袖等方面趣 味相投,于是就有了这个两人画室。 2 That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims. She lay, scarcely moving on her bed, looking through the small window at the blank side of the next brick house. 那是5月里的事。到了11月,一个医生称之为肺炎的阴森的隐形客闯入了这一地区,用它冰冷的手指东 碰西触。约翰西也为其所害。她病倒了,躺在床上几乎一动不动,只能隔着小窗望着隔壁砖房那单调沉闷的侧墙。 3 One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy, gray eyebrow. 一天上午,忙碌的医生扬了扬灰白的浓眉,示意苏来到过道。 4 "She has one chance in ten," he said. "And that chance is for her to want to live. Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind? “她只有一成希望,”他说。“那还得看她自己是不是想活下去。你这位女朋友已经下决心不想好了。她有 什么心事吗?” 5 "She -- she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day," said Sue. “她――她想有一天能去画那不勒斯湾,”苏说。 6 "Paint? -- bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice -- a man, for instance?" “画画?――得了。她有没有别的事值得她留恋的――比如说,一个男人?” 7 "A man?" said Sue. "Is a man worth -- but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind." “男人?”苏说。“难道一个男人就值得――可是,她没有啊,大夫,没有这码子事。” 8 "Well," said the doctor. "I will do all that science can accomplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines." After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she marched into Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling a merry tune. “好吧,”大夫说。“我会尽一切努力,只要是科学能做到的。可是,但凡病人开始计算她出殡的行列里有 几辆马车的时候,我就要把医药的疗效减去一半。”大夫走后,苏去工作室哭了一场。随后她携着画板大步走进 约翰西的房间,口里吹着轻快的口哨。 9 Johnsy lay, scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. She was looking out and counting -- counting backward. 约翰西躺在被子下几乎一动不动,脸朝着窗。她望着窗外,数着数――倒数着数! 10 "Twelve," she said, and a little later "eleven"; and then "ten," and "nine"; and then "eight" and "seven," almost together. “12,”她数道,过了一会儿“11”,接着数“10”和“9”;再数“8”和“7”,几乎一口同时数下来。 11 Sue looked out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves, leaving it almost bare. 苏朝窗外望去。外面有什么好数的呢?外面只看到一个空荡荡的沉闷的院子,还有20英尺开外那砖房的侧墙,上面什么也没有。一棵古老的常青藤爬到半墙高。萧瑟秋风吹落了枝叶,藤上几乎光秃秃的。

Lesson 10 10.3 中与欧盟的关系 女士们、先生们、朋友们: 今天,我很荣幸给大家介绍欧盟的一些情况以及欧盟与中国的关系。 欧盟全称为欧洲联盟,是在欧洲共同体基础上由25个(27)独立的国家组成的,目的是为了加强政治、经济和社会合作。原来称“欧共体”或“欧洲经济共同体”。 目前的25个成员国是奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、英国、塞浦路斯(希腊部分)、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、欧兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚。 欧盟25国总面积400万平方公里,接近半个中国的面积。总人口数为4.544亿,排行第三,仅次于中国和印度,约占世界总人口的7%。 欧盟统一货币为欧元,2002年1月1日正式启用。到目前为止,已经有12个欧盟成员国用欧元取代其本国货币。统一货币使人们出门旅行、对比价格更为容易,它还为欧洲的商业往来、刺激增长与竞争创造了一个稳定的环境。 到目前为止,欧盟的国内生产总值逾10万亿美元。作为一个整体,这个规模与它的主要竞争对手美国差不多。经济总量和贸易总额分别占全球25%和35%。 欧盟与中国关系十分友好。今年5月欧盟与中国就建交30周年了。去年,欧盟与中国的进出口贸易总额达到2,000亿欧元。德国是中国最大的贸易伙伴,英国、荷兰名列第二和第三。 欧盟正抓住当前大好的历史机遇——团结曾经分裂的欧洲大陆,创造一个和平、稳定、民主的欧洲。*** 这次欧盟的扩大还将创造一个几乎拥有5亿消费者的统一市场,这个市场饱含经济增长和不断繁荣的极大潜力。 我的话讲完了,谢谢大家!

Unit1 欧洲制造 除了顶级奢侈品牌外几乎所有的时尚品牌都已经在亚洲生产,或者正在考虑这么做。美国的皮革商品制造商蔻驰(Coach)就是一个经典的例子。在过去的五年中,它通过仅在低成本市场生产来提升毛利率。在2002年的3月,它关闭了在波多黎各拉雷斯的最后一间公司所属工厂,将所有产品全部外包。 巴宝莉(Burberry)在亚洲持有许多许可授权安排。2000年它决定给日本三洋公司的特许授权延长十年。这意味着按零售价计算巴宝莉几乎一半的销售额将是亚洲授权生产的。但是同时,日本的消费者却偏好于该集团在欧洲生产的产品。 为了应对这种对巴宝莉在亚洲工厂所生产产品的需求,三洋公司在东京银座开设旗舰店,出售从欧洲进口的巴宝莉产品。 在《金融时报》的采访中,许多企业高管表示,顶级奢侈品牌将在亚洲越来越多地出现,就像在欧洲一样。古驰(Gucci)的多米尼克·德索尔说,无论是真是假,亚洲消费者只相信:奢侈品来自欧洲,而且一定是要在那儿生产的才是最好的。 古琦的控股公司(Pinault Printemps Redoute)的首席执行官塞格·温伯格说,公司不会将古琦的生产线移到海外。然而一些业内人士认识到,就算对顶级奢侈品牌而言,这种变化也将来临。普拉达(Prada)的首席执行官帕特里齐奥·艾特里说:“‘意大利制造’的标签很重要,但我们真正要提供的是一种风格,而风格是一种文化的展示。因此,他认识到高品质的时尚产品并非总是要在意大利生产。 欧洲工商管理学院的市场营销系的Amitava Chattopadhyay教授说:“品牌就是消费者脑海中的一系列联想,其中之一就是原产地。对于奢侈品来说,品牌的作用是至关重要的。破坏它是一种弥天大罪,没有哪个品牌经理愿意将产地和品牌形象之间的关系搞错。” Unit2 空中的交通暴怒 航空公司与长期遭罪的客户们都在提及急剧攀升的空中冲突事件。有些事件的发生显然是由许多常客所熟悉的问题造成的。美国报道的一个案例就是源于无休止的延迟起飞:乘客被关在飞机里,在停机坪上等了四个小时,期间没有食物、饮料和信息。大规模骚乱比起个人行为不当要少见些。一个已经宣判的案例里乘客在飞机上突发癫狂。他攻击机组人员,并试图在飞行途中打开舱门。 空中暴怒的心理是一个新的研究领域,对此的解释与案例几乎同样多。大多数分析家都将此现象归咎于酒精,但现在许多人认为航空公司对此负有责任。为了削减成本,他们把更多的乘客塞进机舱,同时又减少机组人员、缩减培训时间和降低服务质量,所有这些都令乘客更加沮丧。此外,在美国人们越来越关注另一个削减成本的做法:客舱通风问题。这很可能会严重损害乘客的健康。 现代飞机都配备了完备的空调装置——但要使其以最佳状态运行就会耗尽宝贵的航空燃油。许多航空公司通常指示飞行人员以最低设置来运行系统。要求改善空气质量的人士声称这就会导致烦躁不安,并令人不知所措。

I also admire his calmness when facing difficult situations. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position of Training Manager for your company and wish him every success in his application. 61.【答案】【B-A-D-c】 【难点分析】本句中包括一个省略形式的时间状语从句,如果根 据上下文补充出来.应为“when John was asked to explain what has happened”,所以该状语意为“要求约翰解释发生过的事情时”。理解主旬的难点在于对短语at a loss for words的理解,该短语意 为“不知道说什么好,找不到合适的话说”。结合上述分析可知,四 个选项中选项B提供的译文。选项A的问题在于错将at a loss for words译为“话让人摸不着头脑”;选项D同样错解了短语at a loss for words,将其译为“一句话也不肯说”.同时该选项还将时间状语 从句中的被动语态译为主动语态,与原意有较大出入;选项C的译文

【最新整理,下载后即可编辑】 口译文本(二) 2.4 CNN采访李连杰 CNN:Congratulations on “Hero”. I mean,is the part very similar to what you normally play? 译文:祝贺《英雄》。我想问的是,这个角色是否和你通常演的角色很相似? 李连杰:不,这是一部不同寻常的电影中的一个非常独特的角色,和我以往演过的角色都不一样。可以说这是我最重要的动作片之一。 译文:No, this is a very unique role in a very unusual movie, different from all the other roles I have played before. It can be said to be one of my most important action movies. CNN:Why do you say that? You have made about 30 movies. How is this one different from the rest? 译文:为什么这么说?你演了大约30部电影。为什么这一部那么与众不同? 李连杰:通常的动作片都有这么一个模式:一个孩子的父母亲被杀,这个孩子从小习武,立志报仇血恨。长大后他果然功夫超群,除掉坏蛋,为父母报仇。但《英雄》的题材则广博得多。 译文:Normally, action movies follow such a formula: a child’s parents got killed, and this child started playing Kongfu at a very young age, determined to take his revenge. And when he grows up, he will have become an outstanding Kongfu master, he will kill the bad guy and take the revenge for his parents. But Hero has a much broader theme. CNN:Is it very similar to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” for example? 译文:那它是否和《卧虎藏龙》类似? 李连杰:完全不同。我认为李安是个非常有才华的导演,他用武术来描写爱情。而张艺谋则尝试用武术来描述中国文化,中国人的思想,以及他们期望的世界是什么样的。 译文:Absolutely different. Ang Lee is a very talented director; he uses martial arts to depict love. While Zhang Yimou uses martial arts to describe Chinese culture, the thoughts of Chinese people as well as the world in their eyes. CNN:That’s very deep. We know your first-ever movie was “Shaolin Temple” made in 1979 when you were still just a teenager. The movie was a huge hit in Asia and was followed by two sequels. Let me ask you, how did you move from being a martial arts champion to becoming a Hollywood action star? 译文:这可真够深奥的。我们知道你的银幕处女作是1979年拍摄的《少林寺》,
