【篇一：21世纪大学英语2课后翻译答案】

class=txt>1. our university campuses in europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice.

在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义和共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

2. these days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. of course, it’s true that higher education is still important. for example, in the uk, prime minister blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 percent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics).

现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50%的30岁以下的人上大学的目的（即便愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。

3. i never hoped to understand the nature of my generation or how american colleges are changing by going to lit theory classes. this is the class where you look cool, a bit sleepy from too many late nights and wearing a t-shirt with some ironic comment such as “been th ere, done that and yes, this is the

t-shirt”.

i never hoped to learn the subject well by attending those lectures. but i did go to lectures, for it was the place where i could get the important points of the course and learn how to organize materials and how to reason.

8. 我一直想方设法解决这个难题，但就是找不到满意的答案。可是当我去厨房喝饮料的时候，我突然间灵机一动，意识到解决问题的方法实际上可能很简单。

although i have been trying every means to solve the problem, i cannot work out a satisfactory solution. but when i went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple.

第二单元：

1. such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by e.b. titchener, an american psycho logist. titchener’s theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.

这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义，而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家e.b. 铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是：同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。

2. he sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can be felt for the general plight of another with no sharing whatever of what that other person is feeling. motor mimicry fades from toddlers

repertoire at around two and a half years, at which point they realize that someone elses pain is different from their own, and are better able to comfort them.

他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的，无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。

3. i also love the split-second shocked expression on the new people, the hasty smiles and their best imitations of what they think of as their normal faces. if they do the ritual well enough i turn my head ever so slightly and tuck my hair behind one of my ears, whichever ones closer to them.

我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出来的“正常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好，我就会微微转过头，把头发掖到离耳朵较近的那只耳朵后面。

4. i mostly just read lips because it was easier to pick up than signing, although thats not the only reason i was staring at your lips, i told him. he laughed. we talked more, and then the host upped the music volume and dimmed the lights for the dance floor, and i had to lean in much, much closer to be able to continue reading

案unit one

误会

佚名

他头发蓬乱，衣着肮脏，口袋里只有35美分。在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。他想如果他躲在洗手间里，便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说：―洗手间里有个

流浪汉。告诉公共汽车司机。‖那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人，说道：―告诉公共汽车司机，洗手间里有个流浪汉。

这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。但在这一过程的某个环节，口信变了。当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时，已经不是―洗手间里有个流浪汉‖，而是―洗手间里有颗炸弹‖。司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。当警察到达时，他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。然后他们关闭了那条公路。那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。警察在警犬的帮助下，在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。当然，他们没有发现什么炸弹。两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班，所以他走向登机门，出示了机票并登上了飞机。起飞20分钟后，这人开始担心起来。奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边，但是飞机似乎正在向西飞，而当他向窗外望去时，他所能看到的全是大海。―这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?‖他问航班服务员。航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气，―不，‖她说。―我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。‖

因为有这么多英文单词发音相似，讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。大多数误会远没有这么严重。每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:―你是说七十还是十七?‖―你是说你能来还是不能来?‖发音相似的单词对把英语作为

第二语言的人来说，特别容易让人混淆。

一天早晨，一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时，她的老板问她：―你拿到盘子了吗?‖ ―没有……‖她回答说，心里却在纳闷，不知道他到底是什么意思。她在办公室工作。老板为什么问她盘子的事呢？一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷，但又不好意思开口问他。到了5点，当她准备回家时，她的老板说:―明天请准时上班。你今天早晨迟到了15分钟‖ ―对不起，‖她说。―我的车发动不起来，而且……‖ 突然她停止了讲话并开始微笑起来。她这时才明白老板并没有问她―你拿到盘子了吗？‖他问的是―你是不是起来晚了？‖

auckland 和oakland。―一个盘子‖和―起晚‖。当发音相似的单词引起误会时，也许最好的处理方式就是一笑了之并从错误中吸取教训。当然，有时候很难笑得出来。那个没到oakland却去了auckland 的人是不会想笑的。但即使是那场误会，最终的结局也还不错。那家航空公司支付了那人在新西兰的旅馆住房和用餐的费用，还支付了他飞回加利福尼亚的费用。― 哦，还好，‖那人后来说，―我一直就想要看看新西兰的。‖
