Unit 1 The dinner party

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.

那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。

Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.

在座的客人中,除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着下一道菜。这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。

Unit 3 My First Job

While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.

进入大学之前,尽力去攒一些钱。作者申请了一个教书职业。但是面试变得越来越糟。我的第一份工作,在我等着进大学期间,我在一份地方报纸上看到一张广告,说是在伦敦某郊区有所学样要招聘一名教师,离我住处大约十英里,我因为手头很拮据,同时也想干点有用的事,于是便提出了申请,在提出申请的同时我也担心,自己一无学位,二无教学经验,得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。

However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter to feel nervous.

然而,三天之后,却来了一封信,叫我到克罗伊顿去面试。这上路去那儿原来还真麻烦:先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站,再乘十分钟公共汽车,然后还要步行至少四分之一英里。结果,我在六月一个炎热的上午到了那儿,因为心情非常沮丧,竟不感到紧张了。

Unit 4 the professor and the yo-yo

As boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.

做为一个小孩和做为一个成人,我一直都想了解身为名人的爱因斯坦。他是我认识的所有的这样的人中的一个,他承认他自身的有限性并与他周围的世界和平相处。他知道他想要的是什么并且他想要的仅仅是这个:理解在他做为一个人的限度之内宇宙的特性和在它的作用中的逻辑与简单性。他知道在他的智力所能达到的地方之外有答案。但这不能使他沮丧。他要尽自己的可能来努力。

In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world's most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark - W - for Woolworth's.

在我们的23年的友谊里,我从未看到他显示出嫉妒、空虚、痛苦、生气、怨恨,或者个人的野心。他显得不受这些强烈情绪的影响。他超越了一切虚荣。虽然他与这个世界上最著名的人们中的一些人通信,但他的信笺只有一个水印的符号——W——是伍尔沃思连锁店的标记。

Unit 6 the making of a surgeon

一名外科大夫的成功之道

Now, in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem. There were still situations in which I couldn't be certain my decision had been the right one, but I had learned to accept this as a constant problem for a surgeon, one that could never be completely resolved - and I could live with it. So, once I had made a considered decision, I no longer dwelt on it. Reviewing it wasn't going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a sound one. It was a nice feeling.

现在,在我的住院实习的最后一个月,睡觉不再是一个问题。依然有我不能确定我的决定是否正确的情形,但我已经了解到一名外科大夫存在的经常的问题,他从来不能够完全能解决——并且我能够与它同在。于是,我做出了一个深思熟虑的决定,我不再想这事。回想将是无助的并且我知道凭我的知识与能力,我所做出的决定是正确的。这是一种很不错的感觉

Unit8 honesty:is it going out of style

诚实:它将离开时尚?

。School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer. It's the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true

unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington's first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax." What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.

学校的孩子习惯于知道亚伯拉罕·林肯怎样走了5公里返还一便士因为他对一位顾客要价高了些。这是我们知道的像神话一样好的故事。但在林肯的情形中,这个故事是真实的…

不像乔治·华盛顿与樱桃树的故事那样。华盛顿的第一位传记作者杜撰了乔治对他父亲说,

“我不能告诉一个谎话,我要用斧头来对待它。”的故事。在这两个故事中什么是重要的,不论如何,诚实被看做美国人个性的重要部分。

Unit9 What Is Intelligence, Anyway?

那好,假定让我的汽车修理师来为智力测验设计题目。或是让一位木匠、一个农夫或者是除了学究以外的几乎任何一个人来设计题目。按每一次这类的测验来衡量,我都会表明自己是一个笨蛋,而且我也会真的成为一个笨蛋。在一个无法运用我所受过的学校训练以及我在词语方面的才能,而不得不用双手工作,做一些复杂或艰苦的事情的世界上,我会干得很差劲。因此,我的智力并不是绝对的。它的价值是由我生活在其中的社会所决定的。它的数值是由那个社会中的一小部分人决定的,他们作为这类事情的仲裁人已设法把他们的意志强加在我们身上。

新编大学英语3读写译课文翻译

Unit 1 Personality 羞怯的痛苦 对许多人来说,羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安,感到不自然;也就是说,他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法:我给人留下的是什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我讲话是不是傻里傻气?我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中,而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常,人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如,具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信,他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励,也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害;他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。相反,他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下,羞怯的人自尊心较弱,往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们(是否)在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感;他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴,因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞:“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然,尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质,过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢?幸运的是,人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的,因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如,大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难,就把自己列为差生,这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能,甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时,我们正在自我否定。如果你害羞,这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感:1.认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随着对自我的不断认同,羞怯感就会自然减弱。2.确定合理的目标。例如,在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起,你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力,仅和一两个人交谈,你会感到更自在些。3.内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情,(光)感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反,应该承认你犯了个错误,并决心在将来更加善解人意。4.所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。5.不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的,或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。6.接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如,如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术,要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心,你们还是好朋友,但你的烹饪技术也许确实有待改进。7.记住,每个人都会经历一些失败和挫折。要把它们作为增长见识的经历,从中受益。挫折往往会成为转机,随之而来的将是一段美妙绝伦的经历。例如,你可能被你所中意的大学拒之门外。然而,在你就读的大学里,你可能发现这里教育的某一特点比你料想的好得多。8.有些人会使你感到自己无能,不要和这种人交往。去设法改变他们对你的态度或者改变你对自己的态度,要不就脱离这种关系。伤害你的人并不关心你的最大利益。9.留出时间休息,享受自己的业余爱好,并且定期地重新审定自己的目标。为此所花费的时间有助于更好地了解你自己。10.多在社交场合中锻炼。不要把自己同他人隔离开来。设法一次结识一位朋友;最终你将能够娴熟而自信地在众人中周旋。我们每个人都是独一无二、难能可贵的个体。我们自有吸引人的地方。我们对自己了解得越多,就越容易充分发挥自己的潜力。不要让羞怯成为阻碍我们拥有丰富和成功生活的绊脚石。 Unit3 Social Problems

大学英语精读第三册一到三单元的课文翻译

大学英语精读第三册一到五单元的课文翻译 一个年轻人发现,漫无目的地在街上闲逛也会带来涉及法律问题的麻烦。一种误解导致另一种误解,直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判。 法律小冲突 我生平只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历,但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。尤其令我恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审时的种种武断情形。 事情大约发生在十二年前的二月,那是我中学毕业已经几个月了,但要等到十月份才能上大学,所以当时我仍在家中。 一天上午,我来到离我住地不远的、位于伦敦郊区的里士满。那是我正在找一份临时的工作,以便赚点钱去旅游。由于天气晴朗,又没什么急事,我便悠然自得得看着商店橱窗,逛逛公园,有时干脆停下来四处观望,一定是这种无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。 事情发生在十一点半左右,我在当地图书馆谋职未成,刚从那出发,就看到一个人从马路对面走过来,显然是想跟我说话。我原以为他要问我时间,想不到,他说他是警官,要逮捕我,开始我还以为这是个玩笑,但接着又来了身穿警服的警察,这下我无可置疑了。 “为什么要抓我?”我问。 “四处游荡,有作案嫌疑。”他说。 “做什么案?”我又问。 “偷东西。”他说。 “偷什么?”我追问。 “牛奶瓶。”他说,表情十分严肃。 “哦。”我说。 事情后来是这样的,这一带经常发生小偷小摸案件,尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。 接着,我犯了个大错。那时我才十九岁,留着一头凌乱的长发,自认为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。因此,我想对此表现出一种冷漠,满不在乎的态度,于是用一种很随便无所谓的腔调说:“你们跟踪我多久了?”这样一来,在他们眼里,我是惯于此种情形的,这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。 几分钟后,来了一辆警车。 “坐到后面去,”他们说,“把手放在前排的座椅上,不许乱动。” 他俩分坐在我的左右,这下了不是闹着玩的了。 在警察局,他们审问了我好几个小时。我继续装作老于世故,对此事习以为常的样子。当他们问我一直在干什么时,我告诉他们在找工作。“啊哈!”这下我可看到他们在想,“无业游民”。 最后,我被正式指控,并得到通知下周一到里士满地方法院受审。他们这才让我走。 我本想在法庭上作自我辩护。但父亲一弄清事情的原委后,就为我请了一位很不错的律师。就在那个星期一,我们带着各种证人出庭了,其中包括我中学的英语老师作为我品行的见证人,但法庭并没有传话他作证。对我的“审判”也并没有进行到那一步,开庭才十五分钟,法官就驳回了此案,我被无罪释放。可怜的警察毫无胜诉的机会。我的律师甚至成功地使警察承担了诉讼费。 这样,我没有留下犯罪记录。但当时,最令人震惊的是我被无罪释放所明显依赖的证据。我有标准的口音,有受人尊敬的中产阶级的父母来到法庭,有可靠的证人,还有,很明显我请得起很好的律师。想到这次指控含混不清的特点,我敢断定,如果我出生在一个不同背景的家庭,并真失了业,则完全可能被判为有罪。当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时,他的辩词很明显地围绕着我“学习成绩优秀”这一事实。 与此同时,在法庭外面,曾经逮捕我的警察中的一个正沮丧地像我母亲抱怨说,又有一个小伙子要与警察做对了。他以责备的口气对我说:“我们抓你的时候,你本来可以帮帮忙的。” 他这话是什么意思?也许是说我应该做出大发雷霆的样子,并说:“喂,你知道是在和谁说话吗?我是品学兼优的高材生。你们怎敢抓我?”那样的话,他们也许会向我道歉,可能还会脱帽致意,让我扬长而去。
