男人会的，女人也能学会

?When?I?was?a?kid,?everything?in?my?bedroom?was?pink.?I?have?two?sis ters?and?we?had?a?complete?miniature?kitchen,?a?herd?of?My?Little?Ponies ?and?several?Barbie?and?Ken?dolls.?We?didn’t?have?any?toy??trucks,???G.?I .???Joes???or???basketballs.?We?did?have?a?Wiffle-ball?set,?but?you?would? have?been??hard-pressed?to?find?it?in?our?playroom.?Tomboys?we?weren’t .???

当我还是个小孩时，我卧室里的所有东西都是粉红色的。我有两个姐姐，我们有一个一应俱全的微型厨房、一群小矮种马和一些芭比娃娃、肯娃娃。我们没有玩具卡车、玩具大兵、篮球。我们确实有一套空心棒球，但是很难在我们的游戏室中找到。毕竟我们不是假小子。?

因而一些人或许会对我成长为一个机械工程师而倍感惊讶。事实上，我是我们公司唯一的一名女工程师。为了获得我的大学文凭，我不得不上许多数学和自然科学课程。我也不得不和一小组学生合作去参加一个全国竞赛——将一辆耗油特多的运动型多用途汽车改装为一辆混合电动汽车——正是这样我学会了修车。我很骄傲我门门功课都是A，包括多元微积分和微分方程。我的数学和设计一向很好，虽然我不明白这会给我带来什么结果。家里人期盼我去上大学，但没有人告诉过我我将来会成为一名优秀的工程师。?

When?I?was?in?high?school,?I?didn’t?know?the?first?thing?about?engine ering.?I?couldn’t?have?disting uished?a?transmission?from?an?alternator.???T he?car?I?drove?needed?some?work?but?I?was?afraid?to?take?it?to?the?mech anic.?Because?honestly,?the?mechanic?could?have?shown?me?an?electric?ca n?opener?and?said,?“This?is?part?of?your?car?and?it’s?broken?—?pay?me?t o?fix?it,”?and?I?wouldn’t?have?known?any?better.?

在我还在上高中时，我对工程一窍不通。我根本分辨不出哪一个是变速器，哪一个是交流发电机。我开的车坏了需要修理，但我害怕让机修工给我修一下。因为说实话，机修工可能会给我看一个电动开罐器，然后对我说：“这是你车上的零部件，坏了——给我钱，我替你修,",我不会清楚这是否是个敲诈。?

At?the?end?of?my?junior?year?of?high?school,?I?heard?about?a?summer?pro gram?designed?to?interest?girls?in?engineering.?The?six-week?program?wa s?free,?and?students?were?given?college?credit?and?a?dorm?room?at?the?U

我在高中第三年末的时候，听说了一个暑期班，专门致力于提升女孩对工程的兴趣。课程长达六周，完全免费，并且参加的学生还能获得大学学分以及住在马兰里大学的学生宿舍里。我报了那个暑期班，并不是因为我想成为一名工程师，而是由于我渴望独立，希望能够搬离父母的房子自己生活六周。?

?I?was?accepted?to?the?program?and?I?earned?six?engineering?credits.?T he?next?year?I?entered?the?university?as?an?engineering?major.?Five?years ?later?I?had?a?degree?and?three?decent?job?offers.?

我被那个暑期班接受了并且获得了6个工程学分。第二年我进入马兰里大学学习，主修工程学。五年后我获得了学位并且得到了3个像样的工作机会。?

每当听到研究表明女人在学数学方面处于劣势时我总是情不自禁地战栗。这暗示我有点不正常。我并非不正常，但我确实知道如果不是因为一个偶然的机遇参加了那个暑期班，我绝不会成为一名工程师。?

When?I?was?growing?up?I?was?told,?as?many?students?are,?to?do?what ?I?am?best?at.?But?I?didn’t?know?what?that?was.?Most?people?think?that?w

和许多学生一样，在我成长过程中，别人告诉我将来去从事自己擅长的事。但我并不清楚我自己最擅长什么。大多数人会认为你某样东西学得很好时，这种东西对你而言就很简单。但是我发现：仅仅因为一门学科很难学，这并不意味着你在这方面不强。你只是需要咬紧牙关，更加努力地去学好它。一旦你这样做了，就很有可能你会享受这门学科给你带来的其他任何东西都无法比拟的无限乐趣。?

In?eighth?grade?I?took?algebra.?On?one?test?I?got?only?36?percent?of?t he?answers?correct.?I?failed?the?next?one,?too.?I?started?to?think,?Maybe?I ’m?just?no?good?at?this.?I?was?lucky?enough?to?have?a?teacher?who?didn’t ?take?my?bad?grades?as?a?judgment?of?my?abilities,?but?simply?as?an?indi cation?that?I?should?study?more.?He?pulled?me?aside?and?told?me?he?knew ?I?could?do?better.?He?let?me?the?tests,?and?I?pulled?my?grade?up?to?an?A .??

八年级我学代数时，一次考试我只有36%的答案正确。接下来的一次考试我又不及格。我开始质疑自己，或许我真的不擅长代数。值得庆幸的是，我的老师并没有用我糟糕的分数来评判我的能力，而是将它作为我应该多多强化的信号。他把我叫到一旁，告诉我他知道我能做的更好。他让我重考，结果我将成绩提升到了A。?

???I?studied?a?lot?in?college,?too.?I?had?moments?of?panic?while?sitting?un derneath?the?buzzing?fluorescent?lights?in?the?engineering?library?on?Satur day?afternoons,?when?I?worried?that?the?estrogen?in?my?body?was?preven ting?me?from?understanding?thermodynamics.?But?the?guys?in?my?classes? had?to?work?just?as?hard,?and?I?knew?that?I?couldn’t?afford?to?los e confidence?in?myself.?I?didn’t?want?to?choose?between?my?femininity?and? a?good?career.?So?I?reminded?myself?that?those?studies,?the?ones?that?sa y?that?math?comes?more?naturally?to?men,?are?based?on?a?faulty?premise: ?that?you?can?judge?a?person’s?abilities?separate?from?the?cultural?cues?th at?she?has?received?since?she?was?an?infant.?No?man?is?an?island.?No?wo man?is,?either.??

在大学里我同样学了很多东西。星期六下午坐在工程图书馆吱吱作响的荧光灯下学习时，我也有过恐惧的时候，担心我体内的雌激素会阻碍我理解热力学。但是我班上的男同学们也同样在刻苦学习，我知道我不能够对自己丧失信心。我不想在我女性气质和拥有一份好工作两者之中只取其一。因此我提醒自己那些研究，那些说数学对男性来说更自然的研究是建立在一个有缺陷的前提之上的：那就是认为你可以完全不考虑一个人从她还是婴儿时就受到的文化熏陶来判断她的能力。男人不是孤岛，女人也不是。?

Why?are?we?so?quick?to?limit?ourselves??I’m?not?denying?that?most?little? girls?love?dolls?and?most?little?boys?love?videogames,?and?it?may?be?true? that?some?people?favor?side?of?their?brain,?and?others?the?left.?But?how?r elevant?is?that?to?me,?or?to??anyone,?as?an?individual??Instead?of?translati

为什么我们这么快就限制了我们自己呢？我不否认大多数小女孩喜欢娃娃而大多数小男孩爱玩电子游戏。或许真的一些人偏爱用右半脑，另一些人偏爱用左半脑。但这于我，或任何一个个人来说又有多大关联呢？为什么将男人和女人的不同归结为不容改变的结论，说成是与大脑有关，而不能看到我们难以置信的灵活性呢？或许我们应该认为我们的大脑比我们所想象的要更为强大，而不是凭我们仅有的知识去为女人不能学物理提供一个理由。?

Here’s?a?secret:?math?and?science?don’t?come?easily?to?most?people.? ?No?one?was?ever?born?knowing?calculus.?A?woman?can?learn?anything?a? man?can,?but?first?she?needs?to?know?that?she?can?do?it,?and?that?takes?a ?leap?of?faith.?It?also?helps?to?have?selective?hearing.

秘密在于：对大多数人来说，数学和科学学习并不比其他人来得更容易些。没有人生来就懂微积分。男人能学会的，女人也能学会。但首先女人需要明白她能做到，而那需要足够大的勇气和自信。这也会有助于我们学会有选择地采纳别人的见解

大学英语精读第一册课文翻译全

Unit1 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说我对英语感兴趣是I'm 湩整敲瑳摥椠?湅汧獩屨，而说我精于法语则是???潧摯愠?牆湥档？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说获悉消息或秘密是汜慥湲琠敨渠睥?牯猠捥敲屴，而获悉某人的成功或到来却是汜慥湲漠?潳敭湯?环猠捵散獳漠?牡楲慶屬？这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 4．抓住机会说。的确，在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多，但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如，跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读，因为这在任何时间，任何地方，不需要搭档就可以做到。例如，你可以看着图片18 / 1 或身边的物件，试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后，假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家，试着用英语把它表演出来。 5．广泛阅读。广泛阅读很重要，因为在我们的学习环境中，阅读是最重要、最可靠的语言输入来源。在选择阅读材料时，要找你认为有趣的、不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西。开始时每天读一页是个好办法。接下去，你就会发现你每天可以读更多页，而且能对付难度更高的材料。6．经常写。写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法。除了老师布置的作文，你还可以找到自己要写的理由。有个笔友可以提供很好的动力；与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流，你会学到很多东西。经常写作的其他方式还有记日记，写小故事或概述每天的新闻。 语言学习是一个积累的过程。从读和听中吸收尽量多的东西，然后再试着把学到的东西通过说和写加以运用，定会大有收益。 Unit2 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在六十五岁时开始了只身环球航行。本文记述的就是这一冒险故事。 Sailing Round the Word 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在独自驾船作环球航行之前，已有好几次让他的朋友们感到吃惊了。他曾试图作环球飞行，但没有成功。那是1931年。 好多年过去了。他放弃了飞行，开始航海。他领略到航海的巨大乐趣。奇切斯特在首届横渡大西洋单人航海比赛中夺魁时，已经五十八岁。他周游世界的宿愿重又被唤起，不过这一次他是要驾船环游。由于他患有肺癌，朋友们和医生们都认为他不该去，但奇切斯特决意实施自己的计划。

新标准大学英语综合教程1第六单元译文

第六单元（1）购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？ 琳达从百货商店出来，手里拿着五六个购物袋。她乐得合不拢嘴，就跟《欲望都市》中的女主角卡丽一模一样。只不过她不住在纽约，而是住在英国伦敦。“我一看到喜欢的东西就非买不可，”她说，“把各种颜色的全都买下来，但最让我痴迷的还是鞋子。” 在曼彻斯特的家中，凯特在卧室里存放了24袋衣服，这些衣服的标签还没摘掉。她承认：“我常常穿同一身衣服上班，所以我的同事根本就想不到我在家里还藏着这么多衣服。” 住在伦敦的卡里纳每星期要光顾商场五六次。“递上信用卡的时候，我无比兴奋，”她说。“购物时，那种地位显赫、身价不凡的感觉真是无与伦比。” 那么，她们的行为是购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？大多数人有时也喜欢购物，但是，如果一个人迷恋购物，不惜负债甚至倾家荡产，那就不是一件好事了。购物痴迷症的征兆是：新鞋不上脚，新衣不开包。 心理学家认为，购物痴迷症是购物成瘾，通过治疗可以得到缓解。它的症状包括逃避现实、行为失控、幻想自由或三者兼而有之。当然，诱惑无处不在，你如果没有时间去商场购物，还可以通过很多其他的办法将购物进行到底，如电视居家购物，商品目录邮购和网上购物。 那么，购物痴迷症会造成什么后果呢？入不敷出、羞愧难当、后悔不迭。 研究表明，购物痴迷症是一个全球性问题，90%的购物狂是女性。据估计，全球共有10%的女性受到这个问题的困扰，平均每人负债8000英镑。购物痴迷症的初发期通常是在女性20出头的时候，那时她们刚刚找到第一份工作，挣到第一笔钱。在随后的几年中，她们的债务渐渐地越积越多。男人也会购物成瘾，不过他们不买衣服，而是买车、买工具和电子产品。 那么我们为什么会如此迷恋购物呢？其中一个原因是，购物看上去是一件充满诱惑而又激动人心的事情。据估计，关注时尚的维多利亚?贝克汉姆每年要花费100，000英镑购物。在《欲望都市》中扮演卡丽的萨拉?杰西卡?帕克坦言，她拥有100双马诺洛·布兰尼克牌的鞋子，每双的价格少则300美元，多则1000美元。在2006年的德国世界杯期间，所谓的WAGs（足球明星的太太和女友们）名声大噪，因为她们其中的六个人竟然在一小时之内就花掉了57，000 英镑买衣服和鞋子。 另一个原因是，很多18至24岁的年轻人通过购物缓解压力。有时候，在孤独、焦虑、愤怒或缺乏关爱等情绪的驱使下，一个典型的购物狂会通过购物来安慰自己，向世人证明“她配得上这些东西。”更深层的原因是，现在人们很容易就能申请到信用卡。在20 世纪70年代之前，买东西都是用现金，而且女性不能以自己的名义借钱。如今，拥有一张信用卡已是平常事，就是负债也没有什么大不了的。而且，刷卡的时候不觉得是在花钱。 那么，如果你认为自己是一个购物狂，你怎么办呢？首先，你要承认自己出了问题，然后找出你如此迷恋购物的原因：是因为你的生活中缺少了什么别的东西吗？是你的人际关系需要关注，还是你的婚姻状况不佳？你的父母是否更看中物质财富，而不是情感？然后，你必须找到其他的能给你带来快乐的活动。最后，如果你确实需要购物，那就先列一个清单，只买你需要的，不要买别的东西。用现金付账，销毁所有的信用卡，只保留一张应急，并将它托给朋友保管。 琳达、凯特和卡里纳并不是特例，像世界各地的许多女人一样，她们的故事有一个幸福的开端，却在绝望中结束。像所有的上瘾者一样，购物成瘾的人需要有足够的耐心才能走完康复之路。 （2）如何与男朋友一起逛商场 你知道逛商场与买东西不是一回事，可你的男朋友却不知道。 女人喜欢逛商场，她们逛商场的方式就像我们过去猎取食物一样。过去，我们喜欢花一

现代大学英语精读第六册 的第四课和第九课课文 原文

Nettles Our farm was small-nine acres. It was small enough for me to have explored every part of it. Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence-the elm looked serene and the oak threatening, the maples friendly, the hawthorn old and crabby. Even the pits on the river flats had their flats had their distinct character. The girls as well as the boys were divided into two sides. Each girl had her own pile of balls and was working for paticular soldiers, and when a soldier fell wounded he would call out a girl’s name, so that she could drag him away and dress his wounds as quickly as possible. I made weapons for Mike, and mine ws the name he called. There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion. When Mike was wounded he never opened his eyes. He lay limp and still while I pressed slimy large leaves to his forehead and throat and-pulling out his shirt-to his pale tender stomach, with its sweet and vulnerable belly button. One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at. And the truck did not come. There were two fewer chairs at the table for the noon meal. Mike and I had barely looked at each other during those meals. He liked to put ketcup on his bread. His father talked to my father, and the talk was mostly about well, accidents, water tables. A serious man. All work, my father said. Yet- he-Mike’s father-ended nearly every speech with a laugh. The laugh had a lonely boom in it, as if he were still down the well. Sunny and I had been friends in Vancouver years before. Our pregnancies had dovetailed, so that we had managed with one set of maternity clothes. In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk about our marriages, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, and our forgone ambitions. We read Jung at the same time and tried to keep track of our dreams. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman’s mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and “The Cocktail Party”. He had slept in the guest bedroom the night before but tonight he’d moved downstairs to the fold-out sofa in the front room. Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmarking and making up again the bed he had left for me. Lying in those same sheets did not make for a peaceful night. I knew that he wouldn’t come to see, no matter how small the risk was. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends. And how could he be sure that it was what I wanted? Or that it was what he really wanted? Even I was not sure of it. Up till now, I had always been able to think of myself as a woman who was faithful to the person who she was sleeping with at any given time. My sleep was shallow, my dreams monotonously lustful, with irritating and unpleasant subplots. All night-or at least whenener I woke up-the crickets wre singing outside my windows. At first I thought it was birds. I had lived in cities long enough to have forgotten how crickets can make a perfect waterfall of noise. The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made. The ground sloped slightly downward, and we could see a bit of the river. The water was steel gray, and lookedto be rolling. Between it and us there was a meadow of weeds, all in bloom-goldenrod, jewelweed with its red-and-yellow bells, and what I thought were flowering nettles with pinkish-

Unit 1 Winston Churchill— His Other Life Painting in oils turned out to be Winston's great love – but the first steps were strangely difficult. He contemplated the blank whiteness of his first canvas with unaccustomed nervousness. He later recalled: “V ery hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field. At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Lavery, the celebrated painter who lived nearby. “'Painting!' she declared. 'What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush — the big one.' She plunged into the paints and before I knew it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I hesitated no more. I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with wild fury. I have never fe lt any fear of a canvas since.” Passage for Recitation (U2) This belief in hard work is the first of three main factors contributing to Asian students' outstanding performance. It springs from Asians' common heritage of Confucianism, the philosophy of the 5th-century-BC Chinese sage whose teachings have had a profound influence on Chinese society. One of Confucius's primary teachings is that through effort, people can perfect themselves. Confucianism provides another important ingredient in the Asians' success as well. In Confucian philosophy, the family plays a central role — an orientation that leads people to work for the honor of the family not just for themselves. One can never repay one's parents, and there's a sense of obligation or even guilt that is as strong a force among Asians as Protestant philosophy is in the West.

现代大学英语精读第六册课文翻译

现代大学英语精读6课文翻译 1如何使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚 约翰·肯尼斯·高伯瑞(加尔布雷斯) 1.我很愿意严肃地考虑一种人类最古老的活动，这项活动持续了多年，实际上已经超过了几个世纪，那就是尝试怎样使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚。 2.贫穷和富有从一开始就共生在一起，彼此很不愉快有时还充满危险。普鲁塔克曾说，“贫富失衡乃共和政体最致命的宿疾。”富有和贫穷持续共存产生的问题，特别是如何证明在其 他人还贫穷时我们富有是有道理的这一问题，成为有思想有学问的人几百年来孜孜不倦地思 考探索的问题。直至当代状况依然如此。 3.《圣经》提出了最初的解决之道，在现世遭受贫穷的人来世会得到更好的回报。他们的贫穷是暂时的灾难，如果贫穷但却能顺从，他们将来就会成为世界的主人。在某种程度上这就是最理想的解决办法。由此，富人就可以一边嫉妒穷人的美好前途一边享受他们的财富。 4.很长时间之后，即在1776年《国富论》发表的二三十年之后——在英国工业革命开始 之后，贫富不均的问题及其解决办法开始具有了现代的形式。杰罗米·边沁，这位与亚当·斯密几乎是同时代的人，提出了这样一种准则，在某种程度上，美国人认为这一准则在英国几 乎50年来一直影响显著。这就是实用主义学说。“通过实用的原则，”边沁在1789年指出，“也就是通过这一原则来赞成或否定任何一种应运而生的看来似乎必定会增加或减少政党 幸福的行为或做法，尽管政党的利益总是在讨论之中。”实用，实际上一定是以自我为中心的。然而，社会中只有少数人拥有大量财富，却有更多人没有财富。只要遵循边沁的话—— “最大的利益给最多的人”，就能够解决社会问题。社会尽力满足更多的人，人们接受对于 很多利益没被满足的人来说，结果极其不幸。 5.在19世纪30年代，一种新的准则成为使我们不为穷人的存在感到内疚的有效办法，迄今为止它的影响也丝毫没有减弱。这是与股票家大卫·李嘉图和T·R·马尔萨斯神父联系 在一起的。它的本质很为人们所熟悉，穷人的贫穷是他们自己的错误。贫穷是他们过度生育 的结果。很遗憾，他们不能控制性欲，过度生育把地球具有的养活人口的能力推向极限。 6.这就是人口论。生育引起的贫穷意味着富人不应该为贫穷的产生和解决承担责任。然而，马尔萨斯本人并不是缺乏责任感的人，他极力主张婚姻的仪式应该包括对过度或不负责任的 性生活的警告——公平地讲，是一种警告，因为它还没有被看做是一种完全有效的控制生育 的方法。在近代，罗纳德·里根曾经说过控制人口的最佳形式存在于市场。(热恋中的夫妇应该上梅西百货公司，而不是回到新房。)应该说，马尔萨斯的建议至少沾点边。 7.19世纪中叶，一种新的解决这一问题的方案产生了很大影响，在美国影响尤其强烈。 这一学说与赫伯特·斯宾塞的名字联系在一起，就是社会学中的进化论。在经济生活中如同在生物进化过程中一样，主导的规律是适者生存。“适者生存”这个短语实际上并不出自查 尔斯·达尔文，而是出自斯宾塞，后者表达了对经济生活的看法。穷人被淘汰是大自然种族 进化的方式。弱的、不幸的人灭亡了，人类家庭的质量就会提高。 8.最著名的美国达尔文社会进化论的发言人之一约翰·洛克菲勒一一第一个洛克菲勒一一 在一次著名的演讲中说，“美国这朵玫瑰花以其华贵与芳香让观众倾倒，赞不绝口。而她之 所以能被培植出来，就是因为在早期其周围的花蕾被掐掉了。在经济生活中情况亦是如此。
