Unit 6 Travel Around the World

Passage A The Woman Taxi Driver In Cairo

Her name is Nagat.

I first saw her outside Cairo's airport terminal. A woman taxi driver - the only woman, for that matter, among a large crowd of her male counterparts.

Do you know what it is like to arrive in a strange city in the middle of the night? Nobody, not even a ray of sunshine is here to greet you. When I walk out of the terminal, I am facing the crowd of taxi drivers milling about in front of every airport the world over. Here in Cairo, it is large and noisy. "Taxi!" "You want taxi?" I hear all round me.

I feel a firm hand holding my left arm. "You want taxi, follow me," the woman says. She doesn't ask, she simply pulls me through the crowd. I follow her willingly. There is this moment when a tourist, particularly a woman, simply has to trust someone. We stop at a worn car. It has seen a better day, there are quite a few scrapes on its body, the tires are bald and there is a crack in the windshield. But it is a car for hire, and the woman will personally drive me. I breathe a sigh of relief when she puts my bag into the trunk, locks it and gets behind the wheel. "I will drive you, don't worry," she says.

Nagat, as she now explains to me, works as a taxi driver several days and nights a week. She has another job, working in an office, but details of it remain vague. The little old car is not hers; it belongs to a boss from whom she in turn rents it whenever she can. She has been a driver ever since her husband died some ten years earlier and left her with two teenage kids and her parents to support.

She knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo - no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques - many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city.

With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o'clock, I can depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesn't waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, on

the necessity to get as much done as she possibly can.

What becomes clear to me soon as she drives me from museum to pyramid, from one part of town to the opposite, is this: she is a true exception here. Wherever we stop, be it for a cup of tea during a break or upon arriving at a historical site where her male colleagues gather in the parking area - everywhere, she is being noticed. Men walk up to her in the car with questioning faces. As she tells me, they all have one question first of all: "Are you a taxi driver?" She then explains in a few short sentences, and I see the men's faces soften, smile and respectfully and kindly chat with her. This scene repeats itself over and over again. I get the sense that she invites goodwill from the people she meets.

Nagat is proud and independent. One day, as I find her waiting outside a museum, she is just taking a spare tire out of the trunk of the taxi. One of the bald tires had finally gone flat, and she was going to change it herself. Several curious people gather around her and she receives offers of help - but no, she wants no part of that. In her efficient, deliberate manner, she changes the tire, and having done so, washes her hands with bottled water, gets in the taxi and asks "Where to now?"

Should you find yourself at Cairo's airport, look for Nagat outside the international arrival hall. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see Cairo through the eyes of a woman taxi driver.

开罗的女出租车司机

她叫娜格特。

我第一次见到她是在开罗机场。一个女出租车司机——在一大群男伙伴中唯一干这一行的女性。

你知道在深夜到达一个陌生的城市是一种什么感受吗?没有任何人,甚至没有一缕阳光来迎接你。当我步出机场时,迎面而来的是成群的出租车司机——在全世界所有的机场都有众多出租车司机四处转悠。在开罗,出租司机人更多,更喧闹。“出租车!”“你要出租车吗?”我耳边充斥着这些声音。

我感到一只有力的手抓住了我的左臂。“你需要出租车,跟我来!”那个女人说。她什么都没有问,只是拉着我穿过人群。我顺从地跟着她。一个旅游者,特别是一个妇女,有些时候就不得不信赖某个人。我们来到一辆破旧的小车前。这辆车的风光已过——如今车身上有不少擦伤,轮胎磨得光秃秃的,挡风玻璃上还有一道裂缝。但它的确是一辆出租车。而且这个女人将亲自开车送我。她把我的包搬进行李箱,上好锁,然后坐在驾驶座上。这时我才松

了一口气。“我会开车送你。别担心,”她说。

娜格特向我解释说,她每周开几个昼夜的出租车。她另有一份工作,在办公室任职,但语焉不详。这辆破旧的小车不是她的,而是一个老板的。只要有可能,她就向他租来开。自从十来年前她丈夫撒手人寰,留下两个十多岁的孩子和她的双亲之后,她就一直开出租车养家糊口。

她熟知开罗的每一个角落——这并非一日之功。开罗迷宫般的大街小巷、居民区、集市所构成的复杂体系,宛如古代说书人编造的迷津。数百座清真寺——其中许多是伊斯兰建筑的精华,紧紧挤在一起的的老街区,郊外巨大的公寓楼群,静静流淌的尼罗河穿城而过——所有这些组成了这座过于拥挤的城市。

娜格特熟谙人情,略带幽默。她全权负责我的观光日程安排。每天早上9点正,我都能看见她矮壮的身影准时出现在旅馆大厅外。每当她瞥见我走下楼梯,她圆圆的脸上马上会绽放出灿烂的笑容。几乎每天她都穿着一件土黄色的带风帽的斗蓬。她动作利索,从不浪费任何时间。她做事果断似乎是由于经济条件所迫而养成的习惯,不得不尽可能多做些事情。

随着她开车带我从博物馆到金字塔,从城市的一端到另一端,我很快就发现她卓尔不群。每当我们停下来,喝一杯茶小憩或到达一个历史景点--在这些地方的停车场总是男出租车司机云集之处--无论何处,她总是引人注目。男人们走向她的车,脸上充满了疑惑。正如她告诉我的那样,他们首先都会问?quot;你是开出租车的吗?"经过她简短的解释,我看见那些男人脸色缓和下来,微笑着,尊重而和善地与她聊天。这种场面多次出现。我感觉到,她总是能赢得遇到她的人的友情。

娜格特自尊并自立。有一天,我看见她在博物馆外等我的时候,从出租车行李箱里取出备用轮胎--有一个磨秃的轮胎终于瘪了--准备自己换轮胎。几个好奇的旁观者围上来,还有人愿意帮忙--但是不,她不需要任何人帮忙。她麻利而从容地换好了轮胎,用瓶装水洗过手,然后坐进车里,问我:"现在去哪儿?"

如果你有机会去开罗机场,记得到国际迎客厅外去找她。如果你幸运的话,你就有机会通过一个女出租车司机的眼睛去看看开罗。

Passage B A Russian Experience

It was almost midnight, yet the streets were bathed in a soft, shimmering light. The sun had just gone down and twilight would soon give way to night. We were strolling along the Nevsky Prospekt, a wide avenue stretching four kilometres and filled with people, music and street entertainers. This was St Petersburg in August and it seemed the

city was out to celebrate the long summer nights. We had just left the home of newly found Russian friends and after a wonderful traditional dinner decided to have some exercise before going to bed.

It has always been my dream to visit St Petersburg. Absorbed by Russian history since childhood, I wanted to see it all for myself. Now, thanks to Perestroika, tourists are welcomed into Russia and St Petersburg with its rich, cultural history is a popular choice.

We flew in from Stockholm and from the air immediately noticed a well-planned city with apartment blocks built in semi-circles with central courtyards and gardens. Not only did this seem practical, but the idea behind the design was to shelter residents from the fierce winter winds. The city was built by European architects in the 18th and 19th centuries and remains one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Straddling the wide River Neva, the city is made up of almost 50 islands connected by some 310 bridges. No wonder the sight of elegant buildings along the canals reminded me of Paris, Amsterdam and Venice.

I hadn't met many Russian people but I had an intense love for their country and traditions and was passionate about art and literature. Russian writers such as Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky reach the very soul of ordinary Russians, and this I find intriguing. It was no different when I finally found myself in Russia. People were openly friendly and eager to discuss any aspect of their lives in their beloved Motherland. No matter how bad the economy, somehow these people have the ability to see the positive aspects of their lives, whatever their circumstances. We met an attractive woman from Moscow, and we fast became friends and it was she who invited us into the home of some dear friends of hers.

The apartment block was in an elegant area of St Petersburg and was probably a palace in the past but now converted into apartments of four floors. The entrance through a narrow hallway was dark and dull and there was an old fashioned lift on the ground floor with steel folding gates that clanged shut, after which the lift moved very slowly upwards. It was quicker to walk up the staircase.

Our host, Yuri Petrochenkov, himself an artist, warmly greeted us at the door. He was tall with gray hair pulled into a tail. His open, friendly manner and twinkling eyes showed a sense of humor and his English with a thick accent made him an entertaining host. Nelly, his wife, spoke little English but understood a great deal more.

We were ushered into their main room, which served as a living-room, dining room and TV area. There was an air of intimacy in the room, as though it was the core part of this family. Many parties, social and political discussions and family gatherings take place here. We were honored to be there and I felt ashamed that I had absolutely no Russian language to attempt to communicate in. Why is it that people of the English-speaking world take for granted that the rest of the world should speak English? I had always meant to learn Russian and had enrolled for courses in the past but they never started because of lack of numbers.

Our meal was a feast in itself. We weren't offered wine, just vodka in little shot glasses and before drinking there is always a toast. Some nine vodkas later, Yuri was in fine form and had found a drinking partner in my husband!

Wandering along the river, we agreed that not only had we found new friends, but we had just spent probably the most enjoyable experience of our trip to Russia. This is what travel is all about - to get to the heart and soul of the people and to try to understand and experience a little of what makes others tick.

亲历俄罗斯

几近午夜了,街道还沐浴在柔和的暮色微光之中。夕阳刚刚西下,黄昏过后夜幕即将降临。我们正漫步在涅夫斯基大街上。这是一条绵延4公里的宽阔大道,行人和街头艺人熙熙攘攘,音乐声不绝于耳。这就是八月的圣彼得堡。人们似乎倾城而出,庆祝这漫漫的夏日长夜。我们刚离开新结识的俄罗斯朋友的家。在享用了一顿丰盛的传统晚餐之后,我们决定就寝前稍稍活动一下。

到圣彼得堡一游一直是我的梦想。童年时我就沉迷于俄罗斯历史,一直希望能够亲眼目睹它的风采。现在,多亏了改革政策,俄罗斯才向观光者张开了双臂。而圣彼得堡由于它那丰厚的文化历史底蕴,自然成为观光者的首选必游之地。

我们由斯德哥尔摩搭机,一飞入圣彼得堡上空,一座规划严密的城市顿时映入眼帘。公寓楼群落呈扇状排列,前面有中心庭院和花园。这不仅看起来实用,而且设计的本意就是使住户能免受冬季的凌厉寒风的侵袭。这个城市是18、19世纪由欧洲的建筑师们建造的,如今依然是欧洲最美丽的城市之一。这个城市横跨宽阔的涅瓦河,由近50个岛屿组成。有大约310座桥梁将这些岛屿连成一体。难怪这些沿运河建起的别致建筑令我想起了巴黎、阿姆斯特丹和威尼斯。

我以前见过的俄罗斯人屈指可数,但我对他们的国家和传统有一份浓浓的爱,对他们的艺术和文学崇拜不已。俄罗斯作家普希金、托尔斯泰和陀斯妥也夫斯基等都深深扎根于普通俄罗斯人的心灵之中,而这正是让我感兴趣的地方。现在我终于如愿以偿来到俄罗斯。而此时,她对我的魅力丝毫不减。人们热情友好,坦诚相待,并且乐于谈及他们在自己所热爱的祖国里生活的方方面面。不管经济如何糟糕,不管境况如何艰难,他们总能够乐观应对他们的生活。我们遇到过一个莫斯科的漂亮女性,并且很快成了朋友。是她请我们到她的好朋友家里做客。

我们所去的公寓大楼地处圣彼得堡一个高尚住宅区,昔日或许是一座宫廷宅院,现在它被改建成了4层公寓。进门后穿过狭窄的门厅,光线又黑又暗;在底楼有一部老式电梯,它的钢质折叠门在关闭时哐铛作响,然后电梯缓缓上行--其实步行上楼要快得多。

我们的男主人尤里·彼得罗奇科夫在门口热情地迎接我们。他是个艺术家,个子高挑,灰色头发梳成马尾。他开朗热情,双眼炯炯有神,看得出此人风趣幽默。他那口音浓重的英语使他表现出诚恳好客。他的妻子几乎不会说英语,但却能够听懂不少。

我们被引进他们家的主厅,这里实际是客厅、餐厅和看电视的地方。房间里有一种亲密的气氛,似乎它是这个家里最核心的地方。许多聚会、社会政局讨论和家庭团聚都在这里举行。到此一访真是荣幸之至。不过,遗憾的是我对俄语一窍不通,根本别想用它来与人交谈。英语世界的人们为什么理所当然地认为世界的其他地方都应该说英语呢?以前,我一直想学俄语,过去也曾在几个学习班报过名,但都因为人数不够而无法开课。

我们的晚餐异常丰盛。我们喝的不是葡萄酒,而是倒在小杯里的伏特加。喝酒前通常总要敬酒。大约喝了九杯伏特加后,尤里仍然意犹未尽,和我丈夫真是酒逢知己!

沿河漫步,我们一致认为,我们不仅结交了新的朋友,而且还体验到了或许是此次俄罗斯之行中最愉快的经历。而这正是旅游的全部意义所在--接触人们的心灵并且努力去理解和体验些许他人的生活与行动准则。

Anne lived in Amsterdam in Netherlands during Would WarⅡ.Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazi .She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said ,”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do ,but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty .”Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the windo w had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…. …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains han ging before very dusty windows. it’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈

学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈 在学士学位英语考试复习中,翻译既是重点也是难点,在此提醒考生一定要给予足够重视。外语教育网的小编为考生整理了学士学位英语考试翻译题型解题秘笈,希望考生认真阅读和学习。 翻译部分是03年增加的题型。放在试卷的最后,共有10个小题,考试时间30分钟。翻译试题由两部分组成。第一部分为英译汉,要求考生把阅读理解文章中划线的五个句子译成中文。第二部分为汉译英,要求考生把五个难度适中的中文句子译成英文。英译汉和汉译英的句子难度均低于课文的英语文章。评分标准要求译文达意,无重大语言错误。翻译部分的目的是测试学生词汇、语法、句型方面综合运用语言的能力。 英译汉应试技巧 英译汉是运用汉语把英语所表达的思想准确而完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。在英译汉的过程中,有两点值得我们特别地注意: 1、汉语所要表达的是英语原文的内容,即句子或文章的意义,而不是句子结构; 2、在翻译过程中,英语原文的内容要准确而完整地重新表达出来,而不是将两种语言结构进行简单的转换。 英译汉的过程包括理解,分析句架表达和校核三个阶段,因此,在英译汉的过程中,往往需要考生从英语到汉语,再从汉语到英语反复的推敲。 (一)理解 理解阶段的目的在于读懂英语原文,弄清原文的意思。为了透彻理解原文,建议考生在复习和应试时采取下列步骤: 1、通读全文。通读全文的目的在于从整体上把握整篇文章的内容,理解划线的部分与文章其他部分之间的语法与逻辑关系。在段落中要搞清划线的句子和其他句子之间的关系,因为孤立地阅读划线部分的英语,往往无法理解该部分的真正含义。一篇好的文章,其前后的意思都互相关联,具有很强的逻辑性,一个单词或句子只有在具体的上下文中才能体现出确切的含义来,因此,上下文能帮助我们正确的理解划线的部分,通读全文是很重要的。但是,在通读全文的过程中应该注意,对非划线的部分不要花费时间过多,对于其中一些不太容易理解的内容也不必太在意,只是搞清大体意义即可。因为通读全文的目的在于帮助自己理解划线的部分,只要能把该部分理解透彻也就足够了。 2、分析划线部分的句子结构。从一般的翻译试题来看,划线的部分一般来说结构句子都比较复杂。复杂的句子如果不搞清楚它的语法结构,很难达到正确完整地理解原文的要求。因此正确地把握句子的结构是进行正确地翻译的关键。 3、理解分析划线部分的含义。考生不仅要弄清句子中所有实词和虚词的词汇意义,还要理解全句的整体意义。理解句子的依据除了句子本身之外,还有该句子所处的具体的语言环境。在此阶段应清楚下列问题: (1)句子中是否含有代词和其他具有指代意义的词,如果有,应根据上下文确定它们指代的内容是什么; (2)句子中的短语和一些常用的词往往具有多种含义和用法,那么,在该句中它们的具体含义是什么; (3)按照你的理解,该部分的意义是否与全篇文章的内容一致,有无相互矛盾。 总之,在动手翻译之前,首先要读懂原文,不要一上来就急于动手翻译,这样做往往会出现一种情况:该题快要翻译完了,猛然又发现自己理解有误,马上就急忙修改,搞的卷面上一塌糊涂,而且很容易忙中出错,把本应拿到的分数丢掉了,这是非常令人可惜的。 (二)表达 表达就是译者把自己从英语原文理解的内容用汉语表达出来,理解是表达的基础,表达是理解的结果,但是理解正确并不意味着一定会有正确的表达,平时做翻译练习时有同学反映,有时对原文理解之后还不知如何用汉语表达,就充分说明了这一点。这里介绍两种基本的翻译方法:直译和意译。 1、直译。所谓直译,就是在译文语言条件许可时,在译文中既保持原文的内容,又保持原文的形式。在汉语和英语两种语言中存在着许多共同之处,在对于许多英语句子的翻译过程中,完全可以采取直译的方法,这样可以获得一举两得之功效,既保持了原文的结构,又正确表达了原文的内容。但是直译不是死译和硬译,象It is asserted that…;It is believed that…这一类的结构,如果直译过来那就不伦不类了。 2、意译。汉语和英语分别属于不同的语系,两者在词汇、句法结构和表达方法上具有很多的差异。当原文的思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不易采用直译的方法处理时,就应采用意译法,意译就是不拘泥于原文的形式,重点在于正确表达原文的内容。例如Do you see any green in my eye象这样的句子,只能采取意译的方法,把它翻译为“你以为我是好欺骗的吗”当然,意译并不等于乱译,胡乱地翻译是不符合“忠实”的翻译标准的。 在具体的翻译过程中,我们应该采取灵活的方法,不论是直译还是意译,只要是符合“忠实、通顺”的翻译原则,都是可取的。在翻译的过程中,我们务必注意以下几点: A、理解透彻之后再动手表达,否则表达的结果会令人莫名其妙; B、切忌在翻译时把汉语和英语对号入座,逐字逐句的对号入座的结果往往是不伦不类; C、切忌擅自增减词意,增减意义与翻译技巧中经常提到的增词法与减词法根本就不是一回事。 (三)校核 校核阶段是理解与表达的进一步深化,是对原文内容进一步核实以及对译文语言进一步推敲的阶段,因此,校核是翻译过程中一个很重要的阶段,并不是可有可无的,通过表达之后的校核,我们可以发现译文的一些问题,确保自己理解的内容很有把握地得到分数。在校核阶段,一般应注意与下列各项有关的问题(1)人名、地名、日期、方位和数字等;(2)汉语译文的词与句有无错漏;(3)修改译文中译错或表达不够准确的句子、词组或词汇;(4)有无错别字;(5)标点符号是否有误。 做汉译英时一般应经过以下步骤

Unit 3 A Hanging A HANGING George Orwell 1. It was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot for drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two. Detailed Reading 2. One prisoner had been brought out of his cell. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes. Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a chain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and lashed his arms tightly to his sides. They crowded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful, caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arms limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening. 3. Eight o'clock struck and a bugle call floated from the distant barracks. The superintendent of the jail, who was standing apart from the rest of us, moodily prodding the gravel with his stick, raised his head at the sound. "For God's sake hurry up, Francis," he said irritably. "The man ought to have been dead by this time. Aren't you ready yet?" 4. Francis, the head jailer, a fat Dravidian in a white drill suit and gold spectacles, waved his black hand. "Yes sir, yes sir," he bubbled. "All is satisfactorily prepared. The hangman is waiting. We shall proceed." 5. "Well, quick march, then. The prisoners can't get their breakfast till this job's over." 6. We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by arm and shoulder, as though at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind.

L ?舒克 成功的形象与表象之间有明显的区别。表象是虚假的现象,要想寻求成功的形象,你必须能够识别这些表象。 有一种形象常被误解,其根源在于人们对目光接触的看法。你不知多少次听到有人说:“他直视你的眼睛,一定是个老实人”。显然,许多人一定认为,不老实的人因说谎而感到惭愧,甚至不能面对他人。但假如老实人因羞怯而不敢直视你呢?况且,骗人的老手知道,许多人根据某人打量他们的方式判断其人品,因此他会故意将目光接触纳入其行为之中。既然你不能依靠目光接触做出灵验的判断,就不该用此法评价他人是否诚实。然而,既然大多数人的确凭此标准判断他人,你务必要经常直视他们的眼睛。 根据一个人打量你的方式评价其诚信并不比根据你的猫或狗对其做出的反应判断其人品更合乎情理。然而,你不知多少次听到狗的主人说:“真有趣——索尔不常喜欢陌生人。他判断人性很在行,他对你友好使我知道你身上有某些优点。”有一次,我来到一位可能成为我客户的人的家中,他的猫“虎仔”对我如此欢喜,竟在我推销产品的整个过程中趴在我的肩上。我推销完毕之后,那人的妻子说道:“舒克先生,虎仔只对我们自家人才会这样。你一定为人忠厚,它才对你这般友好。” 其实当时我没把那只猫推开是因为担心她会撕破我的衣服或抓出我的眼珠。但我却回答道:“是呀,夫人,虎仔显然具有某种能使她能准确判断人性的本能。它的确善于判断人品。”虽然虎仔碰巧正确地判断了我的实情,但我个人却不太相信动物具有判断人类的本能。依我看,动物对人的反应更多与体味和身体动作有关。 有些人根据他人握手的方式判断其人。得体而有力度的握手姿势体现人的个性,而“死鱼”般冷淡无力则不是好兆。我也不喜欢毫无生气、缺乏力度的握手姿势,但却格外小心,并不以此作为判断人的基准。再说,骗人的老手会轻而易举做出热情握手之态。尽管握手之时你应该用力,以便即刻树立一个良好印象,然而下次有人紧握你手之时,可别太当真;这并不能告诉你关于他的具体情况。 某种整洁清秀的外表会树立诚实的形象。譬如,金发碧眼的年轻人,面带稚笑,长相是邻家男孩那种类型,这种典型的美国人的形象几乎总能激起别人的信赖。仅因外表而盲目相信一个人是不合乎逻辑的。然而,大多数人的确如此草率地做出判断。相反,皮肤油黑、黑发油腻、蓄小胡子的邋遢男人不会被人认为其面相诚实。同样,某个女人的长相可能会使人联想到街头妓女的模样,而开价很高的应召女郎可能也会看似娴静清新。自然,衣着和(对女性而言的)化装品与以上所谈的外表问题有很大关系。但不幸的是,不为人所控制的、与生俱来的外貌在大多数人的判断中起着重要的作用。我很同情勤奋老实的推销员,其天生的那幅模样使人不由自主地想到:“他那种人的二手车我可不想买!”另一方面,一个非常阴险的人也许貌似你可信赖的那种人。你怎能肯定一个看似整洁清秀的搭车人不及一个(因为其长相而)貌似危险人物的搭车人危险呢?你怎能肯定此人就一定是个危险人物呢?问题就在于我们往往毫无道理地做出如此草率的决定。 从更大的范围上讲,选民们经常仅因某个政客的外表整洁清秀而对他做出有利的反应。其对手则因没有生就一副令人信任的外表而经常遭到否定的评价。这种判断是错误的,其后果可能是灾难性的。诚然,许多选民投某位候选人的票完全是出于政治原因,但在势均力敌的选举中,不该当选的人会因其整洁清秀的形象而占有优势。

Unit 3 A Hanging A HANGING George Orwell 1. It was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot for drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two. Detailed Reading 2. One prisoner had been brought out of his cell. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes. Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a chain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and lashed his arms tightly to his sides. They crowded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful, caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arms limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening. 3. Eight o'clock struck and a bugle call floated from the distant barracks. The superintendent of the jail, who was standing apart from the rest of us, moodily prodding the gravel with his stick, raised his head at the sound. "For God's sake hurry up, Francis," he said irritably. "The man ought to have been dead by this time. Aren't you ready yet" 4. Francis, the head jailer, a fat Dravidian in a white drill suit and gold spectacles, waved his black hand. "Yes sir, yes sir," he bubbled. "All is satisfactorily prepared. The hangman is waiting. We shall proceed." 5. "Well, quick march, then. The prisoners can't get their breakfast till this job's over." 6. We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by arm and shoulder, as though at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind. 7. It was about forty yards to the gallows. I watched the bare brown back of the

日语学位考试翻译

第一套: 九月十五日是老年节,据说是把六十五岁以上的人称之为老人但今天在日本有1550万老人。日本是老人宜居的国度吗。 电车和巴士上都设有老弱病残孕座位,那都是为老年人和身体不好的人专设的,可现在常常坐的都是年轻人和健康的人,而且还有电车拥挤的时候,连站起来让座的人都没有。 据说2000年65岁以上的人达到2100万,到那时即使把电车上的椅子全改成老弱病残孕座位也许也不够用。 如果定义快乐那就是(并不是什么有用的事,但对自己来说,是快乐的事,高兴的事,心情愉快的事),没有任何意义成了重点,我们被强迫遵从大人的旨意,一定要懂得为何而努力占了上风,(1.为考试而学习,2.为健康要摄取那丰富的营养,3.为了收入要工作,4,为了明天要早睡,5,为了获取知道要读书)有目的地去做确定很现实,但如果经常这样考虑的话,真的好累。 或许是因为日本人过度劳累这样的指责在高涨,最近一些日本的公司也设置了一周或十天的假期,利用假期远离都市,游山玩水,出国旅游的人逐年增加。 还有每年的八月,相当于旧历的盂兰盆节,很多人为了扫墓回到家乡,平时远离亲戚和家人的人好像都在期待着盂兰盆节的大聚会,被称之为民族大移动,节日前后,很多城市人一同回乡下,然后再一同返回城市。 这样一来,夏季旅行的人多了列车就混杂,旅馆也爆满,所以为了快乐旅行,有必要事先亲自制定好计划,包括交通工具和住宿地。 第二套: 人们把认为不可能的事渐渐变为可能,比如说翱翔天空,是人类很早以前的梦想,但今天借助于飞机人们比任何鸟类都飞的好。 人们到底是怎么把不可能的事变为可行的呢,我认为这得益于发明和练习,飞机发明以来,实现了飞天的梦想,但我们自己去还不能驾驶飞机,是因为我们没有受到相应的训练,当然也就不能操纵飞机了。 但练习,绝非容易的一件事,它需要不断的努力和忍耐,我们相应地举个游泳的例子就没明白了,讨厌努力和忍耐的人,是不能成功的。 最近自行车运动等环保运动很盛行,为了把我们美丽的地球留给我们的后代,我们到底能做些什么呢。一个是资源的保护,第二就是由于公害造成的环境破坏。也就是我们一般的市民在日常生活中能做的事就是节约有限的资源,以及不破坏大气和水,但那是相当难的事,我们日常生活中的一点点行为都是在破坏环境,可以说现代人的生活正在根本上发生变化,比如说,开车会带来汽油的浪费和大气的污染,聚餐的时候,使用的方便筷子和塑料制品也是在过度地浪费资源。 感谢大家今天能光临现场,这三年来我得到了课长及大家的多多关照,真的谢谢了。 我印象最深的是,刚来计划部的时候,因为资料的错误,使得营业课的田中课长非常生气,一同陪我道歉的中岛课长,以及留下来加班帮我修改资料的井上君,加藤君,在些我一并感谢诸位,经常很严厉的渡边君曾激励我【如果害怕失败,那就不能前进】这句话我至今

Toward a brighter future for all 奔向更加光明的未来 下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里,我们承诺将使你们学有所成。 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们:“姿势自然点。”“等一等,”爸爸说,“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间,那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在 我办公室的桌子上。 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯,怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣,你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣!但是要记住:未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。 对你们而言,接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里,你们拥有丰富的资源:有来自全国各地的有趣的学生,有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师,有综合性图书馆,有完备的运动设施,还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油,学着结交充满魅力的人,学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历,并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 有这么多课程可供选择,你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程,但是要尽可能体验更多的课程!大学里有很多事情可做可学,每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话,那就是:挑战自己!不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样,你不仅会变得更加博学,而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇。她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移,王薇薇2把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来,并将其转化为对设计的热情,从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 在大学里,一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里,住在你隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌,令你头痛欲裂!你可能喜欢早起,而你的室友却是个夜猫子!尽管如此,你和你的室友仍然可

Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now r ead how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face… …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne Using Language 语言运用 Reading and listening 读与听 1 Read the letter that Lisa wrote to Miss Wang of Radio for Teenagers and predict what Miss Wang will say.
