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

Unit 2 A Class Act 1.成长在二战期间战火连天的曼彻斯特意味着生活艰辛，金钱紧缺，整日焦虑不安，当铺成了大多数家庭经常去的地方，当然也包括我家。 2.然而，我不能对已经很有进取心和积极乐观的父母有更多的要求了。他们艰辛地工作，用尊严和快乐来支撑着这个家庭。我强壮而又智慧的父亲几乎无所不能，而且从不缺木匠和手工艺活。为了满足家庭开支，他甚至参加了偶尔在小巷组织的拳击比赛。至于我的母亲，她勤劳节约，极爱干净。即使条件艰苦，在母亲的照料下，她的五个孩子总能吃得饱饱地，穿得干干净净地去学校。 3.尽管我的衣服熨得很平整，鞋子擦得发亮，还是不符合学校的着装标准。尽管妈妈勤俭持家/省吃俭用，想办法为我们做衣服，但是我还是没有学校指定的蓝色校服和帽徽。 4.由于战争，政府实施定量配给制。很多学校都放宽了对学生着装的要求，因为他们知道在那个时候弄到衣服是一件很困难的事情。尽管如此，我所在的女子学校对着装的要求依旧很严格，每个学生必须要穿学校指定的校服。所以，每天主持校会的副校长就把教我一个人如何着装当成了他的工作。 5.虽然我努力地向老师说明我不能遵守的理由，并且事实上，我也在努力地改进，但是每天老师都会把我从队伍中拉出来，然后让我站到台上，作为不穿校服到学校的学生的典型。 6.每天，当我独自一人尴尬地站在同学们的面前时，我都会强忍住泪水。为了惩罚我，老师甚至不允许我参加体操队，也不允许我参加我最喜欢的每周一次的交际舞会。我多么希望在这所可怕的学校里，能有这样一位老师，他会睁开双眼，然后看看我会做什么，而不是不断地告诉我不能做什么。 7.然而，在我十二岁的记忆中，除了接受惩罚我别无选择。不要让我善良的母亲知晓这种惯例的惩罚对我而言是很重要的，我不敢冒险让她来学校为我说情，因为我知道心胸狭隘、不讲情面的教员会同样地使她难堪，那意味着我们俩都会不愉快、会气愤。千万不要啊，如果她告诉我父亲的话，他将会立即为保护我而与老师大打出手。 10.后来有一天，我们家赢得了一个报刊比赛，可以免费照相。当我想到著名好莱坞影星华丽的照片时，我非常兴奋。我迫不及待地想要把这个令人激动的消息告诉我朋友。 9.直到那天，妈妈说我必须穿我最好的浅绿色的镶有蕾丝花边的裙子去学校时，我知道我的想法破灭了，因为拍照正好在课后，而她却没察觉到我所面临的困窘。 10.到了这一天，我漫不经心地穿上了那条珍爱的裙子，心情沉重地拖着脚步去了学校。在校会上，没等到罚站的命令，我就径直地走上了站台，再一次忍受着同辈的嘲笑和副校长的冷眼。 11.当我无数次地想到那个冷酷无情的老师对我的衣服连看都不看一眼，并对下面努力地遵守校规，渴望参与各种活动的我视而不见时，委屈的泪水忍不住的想流下来。 12.校会结束以后，第一节课是英国文学，这是我最喜欢的一门课，上课的老师是我最喜欢的老师。为了能使我的内心平静下来，我安慰自己至少我还能在教室的后面享受品读查尔斯·狄更斯的《双城记》。当我还在假想的时候，却突然上课了，迈克·维让我坐到教室的前面，难道迈克·维已经加入了敌方阵营？

第六课 讹诈 阿瑟?黑利 负责饭店保安工作的欧吉维探长打了那个神秘的电话，本来说好一个小时后光临克罗伊敦夫妇所住的套房的，可实际上却过了两个小时才到。结果，当外间门上的电铃终于发出沉闷的嗡嗡声时，公爵夫妇的神经都紧张到了极点。 公爵夫人亲自去开门。此前她早已借故把女仆支开，并且狠心地给那位脸儿圆圆的、见到狗就怕得要死的男秘书派了一个要命的差事，让他牵着贝德林顿狼犬出去散步。想到这两个人随时都会回来，她自己的紧张情绪怎么也松弛不下来。 随着欧吉维进屋的是一团雪茄烟雾。当他随着她走进起居室时，公爵夫人目光直射着这个大肥佬嘴里叼着的那烧了半截的雪茄。“我丈夫和我都讨厌浓烈的烟味，您行行好把它灭了吧!” 探长那双夹在面部隆起的肉堆中的猪眼睛轻蔑地将她上下打量了一番。接着，他便移动目光，对这个宽敞豪华、设备齐全的房间扫视了一周，看到了那位正背朝窗户、神色茫然地望着他们的公爵夫人。 “你们这套房间布置得倒挺讲究的呢。”欧吉维慢条斯理地从口中拿下雪茄，敲掉烟灰，然后将烟蒂扔向靠右边的一个装饰性壁炉，但他失了准头，烟蒂掉到地毯上，他也不去管它。公爵夫人的嘴唇绷得紧紧的。她没好气地说道，“我想你该不是为谈论房间布置到这儿来的吧。” 他乐得咯咯直笑，肥胖的身子也跟着抖动起来。“不是的，夫人，怎么会呢!不过，我确实喜爱高雅的东西。”他压低了他那极端刺耳的尖嗓音接着说，“比如像你们那辆小轿车，就是停在饭店的那辆，美洲虎牌，是的吧?” “噢!”这声音不像是从口中说出来的，倒像是从克罗伊敦公爵鼻子中呼出来的。他的夫人马上瞪了他一眼，以示警告。 “我们的车子与你有什么相干呢?” 公爵夫人的这句问话似乎是个信号，一听到这个信号，探长的态度马上就变了。他猝然问道，“这儿还有别的人么?” 公爵回答道，“没有。我们早把他们都打发出去了。”
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-

Lesson 3 At war with the planet 1. What people do may intentionally cause droughts, floods and heat waves. 2.But this image, now repeatedly thrust before us in photographs, posters, and advertisements, is misleading. The Earth we see in photos, posters, and ads, which appears so beautiful, is not the true reflection of the world we live in; such image lulls us into complacency. 3.The techno sphere has become sufficiently large and intense to alter the natural processes that govern the ecosphere. Human activities have taken place over such large areas and with such intensity that they have already caused disastrous effects on ecology. 4....which could establish it only because it fitted properly into the preexisting system? The fish could play its role because it became a necessary link with the processes preceding it and the processes following it in the ecological system. 5.Defined so narrowly, it is no surprise that cars have properties that are hostile to their environment. When cars are produced to serve such narrow purposes, it is not surprising that some of their characteristic qualities are harmful to the environment. 22. Yields rose, but not in proportion to the rate of fertilizer application... The farmer applied more and more fertilizer, and the production did rise but did not increase at the same rate of the fertilizer. 23...their waste is flushed into the sewer system altered in composition but not in amount at treatment plant... People eat plants and animals, and their waste is flushed into the sewer system. After being processed, the waste is still waste. The residue will go into rivers, oceans, and will have harmful effect on the aquatic ecosystem. 24. Left to their own devices, ecosystems are conservative... If the ecosystems are not upset by outside intrusion, they will remain the same with very little change 25. In contrast to the ecosphere, the techno sphere is composed of objects and materials that reflect a rapid and relentless process of change and variation. The characteristics of the objects and materials in the techno sphere are rapid change and great variety. 26. But this is done only at the cost of understanding. If we take side in the war of the two words, we are doing so at the risk of failing to have a clear understanding of the nature and cause of the war, thus, we lose the chance to really solve the grave environmental crisis. Lesson4 nettles 27.How all my own territory would be altered, ad if a landslide had gone through it and skimmed off all meaning except loss of Mike. The impact of Mike's leaving on my life was beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that Mike's leaving would have such a tremendous power that it would change the

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。

第六单元 卡洛琳特克形式的职业传统上一直是男人们的天下。在本文，她谈到自己是如何赶上这一行的，并通过她的成功表明男人们能学会的事女人们也能做到。 我小时候我卧室里的每样东西都是粉红色的。我有两个姐妹，我们有一个一应俱全的微型厨房，一群各种颜色的小马驹，还有好几个芭比和凯恩玩具娃娃。我们么有玩具卡车，么有玩具大兵，也没有篮球。我们确实有一套空心棒球，但是很难再我们的游戏室找到，毕竟我们不是假小子。 正因为如此，有些人对我长大后成了一名机械工程师也许感到出乎意外。事实上，我是公司里唯一的一个女工程师。为了取得大学文凭，我要上许多数学和自然科学方面的课程。我还得和几个学生一起工作，作为参与一次全国竞赛的一部分，把一辆耗费汽油的运动型多用途汽车改装成混合型电动车。就这样我学会了修车。我可以自豪的说，我门门功课都是A，包括多变量微积分和微分方程。我的数学设设计总是相当好，但是我不知道这些会给我带来什么样的结果。家里要我上大学，但是没人告诉我有一天成为一名优秀的工程师。 我上高中时对工程一无所知。我那时不能辨别变速器和交流发电机。我开的车需要修理，但是我不敢把车开到修理工那里，因为说实话，如果修理工给我看一把电动开罐器并对我所，“这是你的汽车部件，坏了–你付钱去我给你修。”我也不知道他在敲诈。 我在高中第三年末的时候，听说有一个暑期班，专门培养女孩子对工程的兴趣。课程六周，不用缴费，学生还可获得大学学分，还可享受马里兰大学生宿舍的一个房间。我申请参加这个暑假班，这倒不是因为我想当工程师，而是因为我渴望独立，想离开父母的房子自己单独过上六周。 我被这个暑期班录取了，得到了六个工程学分。第二年我上了这个大学，主修工程。五年后我获得学位，还有三个像样的就业机会。 听到有研究表明女性学数学处于劣势，我不禁不寒而栗。他们言下之意是我有点反常。我一点不不反常，但是我知道，要不是我偶然闯进了那个暑期班，我是成不了工程师的。
