Prison Studies1 Many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television, or those who read something I’ve said, will think I went to school far beyond the eighth grade. This impression is due entirely to my prison studies.狱中学习今天，许多在什么地方直接听我讲话的人，或在电视上听我讲话的人，或读过我写的东西的人，都会以为我上学远不止只读到8年级。
这一印象完全归之于我在监狱里的学习。
2 It had really begun back in the Charlestown Prison, when Bimbi first made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I had tried to emulate him. But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have been in Chinese[2 … the words that might as well have been in Chinese: … it would have made no difference if the English words had been in Chinese, because I didn’t have the slightest knowledge of either.]2. When I just skipped those words, of course, I really ended up with little idea of what the book said. So I had come to the Norfolk Prison Colony still going through onlybook-reading motions. Pretty soon, I would have quit even these motions, unless I had received the motivation that I did.其实这事要从查尔斯顿监狱说起，一开始宾比就让我对他的知识渊博羡慕不已。

According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3)Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common.

Self-control, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a new chapter of his life. Over the four years, he consistently finished near the top of every course.UNIT7VocabularyI. 1.1) anonymous2) piling up3) advent4) sober up5) articulate6) dwindle7) not least of all8) vague9) busted10) rotting2. 1) Its theme was that philosophy has very close links with mathematics andartificial intelligence.2) He is illiterate; worse still, he has a criminal record and lives in a world oflies and deceit.3) They carried out first aid to save the patient from bleeding to death.4) They suggested that I go for broke, and be undeterred in pursuit of mydream.5) He thinks it highly unlikely that such good luck will come his way again.3.1) The advent of spring —symbol of renewal — has been a constant theme inEdward's writings.2) Why those nasty things were being said of her was just beyond hercomprehension, and as for myself I have never heard anything so offensive in all my life.3) Malcolm Padina, managing director of Informix Software Inc, has called for anew initiative to purge the market of software pirates / software pirates from the market.4) New evidence implicated Melancia in a financial scandal in February 2008.5) Pains were tearing at my chest as I was running a two-mile race.

He even speculated whether it would be better for him to rejoin his wife in paradise.

He never goes to the movies, never sees concerts, never lies on a sunny beach, never travels on vacation, never spends Christmas with his family.Instead, Rex shares floor space in cheap motels with other compulsive gamblers, comforting himself with delusional dreams of jackpots that will magically wipe away three decades of wreckage.He has lost his marriage, his home, his Cadillac, his clothes, his diamond ring.Not least of all, in the card clubs of Southern California, he has lost his pride.他从不看电影，从不听音乐会，从不躺在沙滩上晒太阳，从不在假日去旅游，从不和家人一起过圣诞节。
全新版大学英语第二版综合教程5第5单元课文翻译和课后部分答案
我们献上一篇《时代》杂志编辑们撰写的文章，以此开始审视全球气候变暖问题。
文章收集了取自美国和世界各地的证据，说明气候变化正在给我们带来的影响。
文章接着探讨了若这一趋势继续发展下去会产生的一些有害后果，以及气候变化的速度会急剧加快的可能性。
《时代》杂志编辑1你认为自己对全球气候变暖持怀疑态度？也许你并非住在墨西哥湾沿岸的佛罗里达州，也非住在阿拉斯加州的希什玛瑞夫。
居住在那些地区的人们普遍相信全球气候在变暖。
2004年佛罗里达遭受四次威力无比的飓风袭击，一年后卡特里娜飓风淹没了新奥尔良并重创密西西比州的沿海地区。
许多科学家认为,过去几个飓风季节的特大威力应归咎于全球气候变暖。
大风暴增加了墨西哥湾暖流的热量，那些纬度地区正在逐年变暖。
2 小镇希什玛瑞夫（人口600）是一个坐落在狭长形堰洲岛上说纽皮亚克语的爱斯基摩人村庄，位于安克雷奇以北625英里处。
当《时代》杂志记者玛戈特· 罗斯福于2004年走访该村庄时，她发现它正"融入海洋"。
它已失去100-300英尺海岸线——其中一半是自1997以来消失的。
海滩下面的永久冻土正在解冻，海洋里的冰正在变薄，使居民越来越容易受到强风暴的侵袭。
一所房屋倒塌了，另有十八所房屋连同小镇上大型燃料储存罐只得搬到高一点的地方。
巨大的海浪冲走了学校的操场，毁坏了价值100,000美元的船只、猎具和晒鱼架。
"太可怕了，"该村的官员露西·恩尼英格沃克告诉罗斯福。
"每年我们都万分担心下次风暴会把我们卷走。
"3 由于每年海洋结冰期延迟了，希什玛瑞夫过去通常在十月开始的冰下捕鱼季节现在十二月才开始。
浆果采摘从七月开始，而不是原来的八月。
最让纽皮亚克人苦恼的是薄冰使捕髯海豹变得很困难，而髯海豹是他们日常吃的主食, 也是他们文化中的一种主要元素。
4 发生什么情况了？由于工厂和汽车烧石油和煤气而部分地导致的全球气候变暖，不仅使墨西哥湾遭受创伤，而且殃及极地，与雪、永久冻土和冰关联的复杂的气象变化过程加大了气候变暖给极地带来的影响。

Natural extinction is being accelerated by human populations wiping out entire ecosystems for development and single crop farming. Destroying naturally diverse vegetation destroys the life sustained by that habitat. We already know the scary effects of deforestation on global warming, but do we stop to think about the thousands of animal and insect species that are dying off because of global warming?2) In August 2005, some scientists from esteemed scientific organizations predicted that a temperature increase of 2 °C above the pre-industrial level could trigger the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which would have overwhelming consequences for sea levels and biodiversity.

TranslationMost scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable.

Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common. They were black people as well as civil rights heroes. They led black people to combat discrimination and inequality and to try to gain control over their own destinies.

TranslationRobert Lee’s father’s life had been plagued by poor financial investments. He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced to flee the country. Lee’s mother was the dominant force in shaping Lee’s personality. Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children. Self-control, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a new chapter of his life. Over the four years, he consistently finished near the top of every course.UNIT7VocabularyI. 1. 1) anonymous 2) piling up3) advent 4) sober up5) articulate 6) dwindle7) not least of all 8) vague9) busted 10) rotting2. 1) Its theme was that philosophy has very close links with mathematics andartificial intelligence.2) He is illiterate; worse still, he has a criminal record and lives in a world oflies and deceit.3) They carried out first aid to save the patient from bleeding to death.4) They suggested that I go for broke, and be undeterred in pursuit of mydream.5) He thinks it highly unlikely that such good luck will come his way again.3.1) The advent of spring —symbol of renewal —has been a constant theme inEdward's writings.2) Why those nasty things were being said of her was just beyond hercomprehension, and as for myself I have never heard anything so offensive in all my life.3) Malcolm Padina, managing director of Informix Software Inc, has called for anew initiative to purge the market of software pirates / software pirates from the market.4) New evidence implicated Melancia in a financial scandal in February 2008.5) Pains were tearing at my chest as I was running a two-mile race.

我们献上一篇《时代》杂志编辑们撰写的文章，以此开始审视全球气候变暖问题。
文章收集了取自美国和世界各地的证据，说明气候变化正在给我们带来的影响。
文章接着探讨了若这一趋势继续发展下去会产生的一些有害后果，以及气候变化的速度会急剧加快的可能性。
《时代》杂志编辑1你认为自己对全球气候变暖持怀疑态度？也许你并非住在墨西哥湾沿岸的佛罗里达州，也非住在阿拉斯加州的希什玛瑞夫。
居住在那些地区的人们普遍相信全球气候在变暖。
2004年佛罗里达遭受四次威力无比的飓风袭击，一年后卡特里娜飓风淹没了新奥尔良并重创密西西比州的沿海地区。
许多科学家认为,过去几个飓风季节的特大威力应归咎于全球气候变暖。
大风暴增加了墨西哥湾暖流的热量，那些纬度地区正在逐年变暖。
2 小镇希什玛瑞夫（人口600）是一个坐落在狭长形堰洲岛上说纽皮亚克语的爱斯基摩人村庄，位于安克雷奇以北625英里处。
当《时代》杂志记者玛戈特·罗斯福于2004年走访该村庄时，她发现它正"融入海洋"。
它已失去100-300英尺海岸线——其中一半是自1997以来消失的。
海滩下面的永久冻土正在解冻，海洋里的冰正在变薄，使居民越来越容易受到强风暴的侵袭。
一所房屋倒塌了，另有十八所房屋连同小镇上大型燃料储存罐只得搬到高一点的地方。
巨大的海浪冲走了学校的操场，毁坏了价值100,000美元的船只、猎具和晒鱼架。
"太可怕了，"该村的官员露西·恩尼英格沃克告诉罗斯福。
"每年我们都万分担心下次风暴会把我们卷走。
"3 由于每年海洋结冰期延迟了，希什玛瑞夫过去通常在十月开始的冰下捕鱼季节现在十二月才开始。
浆果采摘从七月开始，而不是原来的八月。
最让纽皮亚克人苦恼的是薄冰使捕髯海豹变得很困难，而髯海豹是他们日常吃的主食, 也是他们文化中的一种主要元素。
4 发生什么情况了？由于工厂和汽车烧石油和煤气而部分地导致的全球气候变暖，不仅使墨西哥湾遭受创伤，而且殃及极地，与雪、永久冻土和冰关联的复杂的气象变化过程加大了气候变暖给极地带来的影响。
发表在2004年《科学》杂志上的一项研究发现,如今南极西部地区的冰川变薄的速度是20世纪90年代的两倍。
在过去三十年间，阿拉斯加的年平均气温上升了华氏4度至5度，而世界范围上升的平均幅度不到华氏1度。
5 因此，阿拉斯加的冰川在融化；虫子在吞噬着大片森林；融解的冻土使得道路、管道和家园下沉。
北冰洋里的冰加速度地缩小了5%至10%。
"希什玛瑞夫像煤矿里的金丝雀——成了预示别处将要发生什么的风向标，"阿拉斯加大学北极研究合作学院主任冈特·韦勒说道。
"大量证据表明人类已经改变了气候。
"6 从迈阿密到希什玛瑞夫，以及这两地之间的许多地方，人们都说气候看起来不再正常了。
但客观地说，本来就没有正常气候这回事。
正如美国中西部农民常说的，"如果你不喜欢这天气，只需等五分钟。
"很少有正常季节。
有些年份冬季的降雪量和夏季的热浪打破了平均水平，而另一些年份则低于平均水平。
面对这些自然波动，想看出气候总的变化，很难。
例如，一年甚至连续三年异乎寻常地炎热并不一定意味着总的趋势出现了显著的变化。
7 然而，地球上的气候确实不断变化。
在冰期地球连续好几万年都冻住，暖热期则把热带地区大大推进到现在的温带。
但是，考虑到每年都有的正常变化，能显示这种可能在酝酿中的变动的唯一可靠信号，只能是世界范围内气温的长期变化情况。
8 这就是正在发生的事情。
1988年，当《时代》杂志把地球命名为年度之星球时，关于世界因人类活动而变暖的想法很大程度上仅存在于理论上。
我们知道，自18世纪工业革命开始以来，工厂、发电厂、汽车和农场一直把聚集热量的气体排入大气层中。
但气候确实在变热的证据当时依然不明显。
9 如今再也不是那样了。
来自受人尊重的科学机构的报告、研究和文章业已表明，过去一个世纪里世界范围的气温上升了华氏1度多，20世纪90年代是有史以来最热的十年。
请朝四周看看：雪原,包括遐尔闻名的乞力马扎罗雪山的积雪，正从全球山顶上消失。
随着大海变得太热,再无舒适可言，珊瑚礁正在相继死去。
干旱在亚洲和非洲的部分地区已成为常态。
引发东太平洋灾难性气候的厄尔尼诺现象更加频繁出现。
北极的永久冻土开始解冻。
寒冷地区的江河湖泊每年结冰推迟，解冻提早。
动植物把它们的生长区向极地和高地移动，种类迥异的动物如北极熊、蝴蝶和白鲸，其迁徙方式正被搅乱。
10 面对这些确凿的事实，多数科学家不再怀疑全球正在变暖，而且几乎没有人质疑人类对此至少负一部分责任。
变化还没有结束。
与工业化以前水平相比，人类已将二氧化碳这一大气中最多的聚集热量的气体的浓度提高了30% ——百分比每年都在增长。
显而易见的结论是：气温将继续上升。
11如果气温上升幅度大到一定程度，后果会是灾难性的。
倘若海平面上升高达3英尺，大片人口稠密的地区——佛罗里达州沿海地区、路易斯安那州大部分地方、尼罗河三角洲、马尔代夫、孟加拉国——将无法居住。
整个气候带可能会明显移动，使加拿大中部看上去更像伊利诺斯州中部，佐治亚州更像危地马拉。
农业将陷入混乱状态。
千百万人将被迫从无法居住的地区迁走。
12 公共卫生会遭受损害。
上升的海平面让盐污染淡水供应。
强阳光和暖气候会令城市臭氧含量增高从而加剧呼吸系统疾病。
暖气候会扩大携带疾病的啮齿目动物和诸如蚊子壁虱等虫子的活动范围，因而提高登革热、疟疾、脑炎、莱姆病（关节炎）和其它疾病的发生率。
人们，尤其是较贫穷国家的人们，要适应变化将会碰到许多困难，但是对于野生动植物来说，这种变化的后果会是毁灭性的。
13"毫无疑问，气候在发生变化，对此人类要负一部分责任，"科罗拉多州博耳德的国家大气研究中心气候分析部主任凯文·特伦泊斯对《时代》杂志如是说。
"气候朝着可能会有更多强风暴和更大降雨量的方向变化。
"国家大气研究中心气象学家格雷格·霍蓝德说:"这些不是小变化。
我们是在谈论一场非常大的变化。
"14 一些科学家不仅仅在研究气候变化，而且还在研究气候突然变化这种甚至更加骇人的现象。
大家知道,像大气这样的复杂系统从一种稳定状态转到另一种状态，其间只有非常短暂的过渡期。
（就说水吧：把水放在火焰上方时，水会越烧越热，直到突然变成蒸汽。
）由宾夕法尼亚州立大学地球科学家理查德·阿莱在20世纪90年代从格陵兰岛取回的冰核显示，上一次冰期不是在地质时间缓慢进行中结束的，而是在现实时间快速变化中结束的，整个地球在短短三年内便突然变暖了。
15 类似这样的研究也许还不足以令怀疑全球气候变暖的人信服。
但似乎完全可以肯定的是，那些怀疑论者越来越少了——就像希什玛瑞夫的永久冻土。
