大学基础英语2课后翻译题
大二上册基础英语unit1--unit8 翻译和听写

第一单元听写A generation ago, children in many Western countries moved out of home when they left school for work or college study. They would rent a room or share a flat with other teenagers. Today’s young adults are not in such a hurry to leave. It is often more comfortable to live at home than to rough it in cheap accommodation. There are two reasons for this change. The first reason is the depressed job market, which makes it more and more difficult for young school-leavers to get a good job. Besides, many governments have made severe cuts in educational funding. Students are required to pay fees or part of the fees for college education. The second reason is a change of attitude toward life. Today’s young people have more spending power than their parents and they are more prepared to use it. They tend to live for the present rather than prepare themselves for the future.翻译:1. She doesn’t seem to get along with her new classmates.2. I’d been out of touch with Mary for years, but I managed to reach her by phone yesterday.3. The veteran enjoys showing off his medals to everyone whovisits him.4. Her husband seems very much opposed to her going abroad.5. As Thomas couldn’t settle down in his job, his parents were very worried.6. I always have all kinds of bits and pieces in my pockets.7. Her mother pulled a few strings to get her into the business circle.8. I hope the food is to your liking.9. I told the boys off for making so much noise.第二单元听写:The age of twenty is just the beginning of life, and one feels young and full of energy. However, at the same time, a period of life has passed, which makes one sad when he thinks something will never come back. It is not silly to feel a certain regret, for when one gets something, he may meanwhile have lost something else. Many things really begin at the age of twenty, and certainly all is not over then. One begins to see more and more clearly that life is only a kind of sowing time, and the harvest is still far away.翻译:1. He resolved to work on the complicated project immediately.2. They saw an old man knocked over by a car coming from the opposite direction.3. He walked unsteadily/stumbled along in the dark, groping for the light-switch.4. After three month’s illness, he found it difficult to rise to his feet again.5. Owing to the staff shortage, the task could not be fulfilled on schedule.6. During the period of depression, the company was running into financial difficulties.7. When the blind girl got on the crowded bus, the passengers made room for her.8. He at last managed to hold on to the rock on the cliff and stopped himself from slipping.第三单元:听写:Mary, who had been in a deep sleep, was woken suddenly by a strange noise, /which seemed to come from outside her window. /She sat up, startled. /Then she froze as she saw that the window, /which she thought she had locked the night before, was wide open. /With a shock, she remembered that her husbandhad taken the children to visit their sick grandmother, /and that she was alone in the house./ Something cracked ominously behind her. /Turning, she saw, to her great relief, /that it was only the little dog, /which had accidentally knocked over a pitcher on the small table. /Suddenly it occurred to her that she had left the window slightly open for the pup, /as it had not returned after dark. /At this moment, the little dog, whimpering, came to her side to lick her feet /as if it knew it had done something wrong./翻译:1. Mother immediately sent Tom for the doctor.2. She failed to bake the cake as she had run out of sugar.3. I know how desperately busy you are now.4. The whole class roared with la ughter at Tom’s slip of tongue.5. Such things as needles and scissors should be kept out of the reach of children.6. The soldiers stood under the burning scorching sun, drenched with sweat.7. He returned to his own country in the end.第四单元听写:Today I met George in the supermarket for the first time after thirty years. We were close friends in primary school, but I dare not greet him because I was not sure whether he would recall our friendship after so many years. The thing that struck me was my own reaction to meeting him. From day to day I often see men who went to school with me and who have, in the common way of speaking, done well for themselves. They are now doctors, lawyers, important officials and even very successful businessmen. They are wealthy and famous figures in our city. Sometimes, they see me too and nod a greeting or turn their eyes to a shop window as the case may be. Whenever I encounter one of these people I always feel a burning shame and self contempt, but George was different because we were special friends. I used to protect him from the bullies around our school. He noticed me and our eyes met, but he soon noticed the worn, old clothes I was wearing. He greeted me warm-heartedly from a distance and said quickly afterwards: "Billy nice to meet you, but I must run. "I can't understand why I replied" Yes, Sir."翻译:• 1. There is a road on our left leading straight to thefoot of the mountains.• 2. In order to lose weight, she eats nothing but vegetables.• 3. We are sorry to inform you that we cannot employ you right now. If there is a vacant position / a vacancy in the future, we will contact you.• 4. We cannot complete the project as scheduled because we are short of staff.• 5. Children will understand one day that parents’ nagging is for their own good.• 6. She burst out crying when she heard that her lost daughter had been found.•7. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to come to see me.第五单元听写:An important relationship exists between food and comfort. In times of stress, when one is depressed, anxious or hurt, the temptation may be to turn to food—soft, smooth, sweet, soothing food. Many people turn to food that reminds them of their childhood, of being loved and cared for. Others find as much comfort in the distraction offered by the act of preparingfood—the smells, sensations, and physical work in the kitchen. Scientists researching the link between foods and moods believe that some sweet and starchy foods trigger an increase in a certain chemical substance in the brain, making us sleepy and less sensitive to pain. However, there is a problem with using food as a source of comfort— the problem of over-eating and overweight.翻译:1.She looks very beautiful when she piles up her hair ontop of her head.2.The cases and bags being sold in the shops are stuffedwith paper so that they look more attractive.3.The teacher handed out a pencil to each student beforethe exam as the questions were to be answered in pencil.4.The house is totally devoid of furniture.5.He managed to win her trust by taking advantage of herignorance.6.When evening approaches, the vendors would lay out anassortment of small articles on the ground for people tobuy.7.It is said that a new lock has been invented that canidentify its owner by the smell of his or her body.8.Out of gratitude for the help of his teachers andclassmates, he is determined to work hard and score highly.第六单元听写:In general, children in primitive societies are much loved, and when their childhood is not overshadowed by disease or famine, they grow up free and lively. Their education is based on an imitation of adult life, and on the teachings of their elders. Children learn about their own family and its place within a group of other families. Primitive children are a good deal freer in everyday life than are children in the “civilized” world. Their relations with others in their village are controlled less by rules and regulations than by their own knowledge of what is proper and improper that will be important to them throughout their lives.翻译:• 1. At the sight of the general walking towards him, he got to his feet at once and saluted.• 2. “What’s this money for?”“It’s for helping those children who have lost the chance for schooling to returnto school again.• 3. The knock at my door night sent me quivering with fright.• 4. I can assure you that he is a most reliable person.• 5. Everybody hopes that he will take over as dean of the department when Mr. Martin retires.• 6. She tried her best to hide her feelings, but eyes betrayed her longing for the prize.•7. It is said that people increase their risk of skin cancer if they are exposed to the sun too much.第七单元听写:Women’s low social position is a serious problem. It is evident in almost every aspect of social life. Even our language often gives us the false impression that women simply don’t exist. For example, once the word man meant person or human being. But the word man has gradually become more specific in meaning and is now a synonym for an adult male human being only. In the words of a popular dictionary for children, a boy grows up to be a man. Father and Uncle George are both men. This is the meaning that we understand because we hear the word man used in everyday speech in this way from childhood.Later we learn that the word man has another meaning, but we do not accept it with the same certainty. Studies of college students and school children show that phrases like economic man and political man or man is a dreamer create an image of males only, not females or males and females together. Furthermore, we have become aware that conventional English usage often minimizes the achievements, the contributions and sometimes the very presence of women.翻译:1.I prefer spring to autumn though I love both seasons.2.I believe that electric cars will one day supplantpetrol-driven ones.3.They warned him of the danger of climbing the Himalayas,but he wouldn’t listen.4.The teacher told his students that their future prospectshinged on their education.5. Everybody thinks that she deserved the award Best Actress of the Year.6. Every time the girl came across a problem, she would turn to her mother for solution, rather than trying to solve itherself.7. After her husband died, she continued to nurture her three daughters.8. It seems that a lot of people learn English less as a practical language than for its grammar.第八单元:听写:Language is the commonest means of communication for human beings, //but if people speak different languages,// they usually turn to other means. //Gesture, then, is often the first choice. //Gestures in most cases help people a lot in getting their meanings across. //However, since the same gestures may be used for different ideas in different cultures, //failures in communication often happen. //Sometimes this may lead to terrible consequences. //Several years ago, some European sailors were swimming near a coastal area in a foreign country, //which was closed to outsiders. //Seeing these unknown swimmers, the guards on the coast wanted to question them. //The guards shouted to them to come nearer, //and made at the same time their usual “come here” gesture. //The sailors did not understand the language //and took the gesture to mean “go away”, //and they realized they might be nearcoastal defenses, //so they swam off. //The consequence was that the guards who were now highly suspicious, //opened fire, with tragic results. //翻译:。

大学英语第二册课后段落翻译参考答案

第二册课后段落翻译参考答案Unit 1 (p.20)To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English. Unit 2 (p.48)With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly / academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.Unit 3 (p. 77)George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep. Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking. Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.”In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.Unit 4 (p. 104)Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer. I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier. I can write, submit and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss. With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash. Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret.Unit 5 (p. 148)Numerous facts bear out the argument / statement / claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry. You needn’t / don’t have to be ashamed of crying. Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears.Consider the case of / Take Donna. Her son unfortunately died in a car accident. The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry. She said, “It was not until twoweeks later that I began to cry. And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders. It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”Unit 6 (p. 175)Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 (p. 202)Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguistics believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8 (p. 228)This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

4 Translate the sentences into Chinese.1 On 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地投入到自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或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 per cent 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标,(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。
