段落翻译

段落翻译我认为，选修第二专业并不适合每一位本科生。

我大学本科主修英语专业，大一时就开始辅修经济学了。

无疑，我是班里最用功的学生。

我竭尽全力想同时达到两个不同专业的要求，但还是有不及格的时候。

因为经济学需要良好的数学基础，我不得不花大量时间钻研数学，因而忽略了英语学习。

If you ask me, taking a second major isn't good for every undergraduate. In my freshman year as an English major, I took economics as my minor. By all odds, I was the most hard-working student in my class. But try as I might to meet the requirements of the two different subjects, I still couldn't do well enough to pass all the exams. Given that the study of economics required a good command of mathematics, I had to spend so much time on math that I neglected my English.张磊是在毕业工作后才开始意识到读书的乐趣的。

反思自己的大学教育时，他感慨不已：他的一些同学都沉浸于从图书馆或书店找到的各种有趣的书籍，而他却只读了一些教科书，其中连一本真正值得一读、让他爱不释手的书都没有。

他可以说是被剥夺了通过书了解作家奇妙世界的特权。

It was not until after he had graduated from university and started to work that Zhang Lei became aware of the pleasure of reading. Reflecting on his undergraduate studies, he lamented that he, unlike some of his classmates who had immersed themselves in various interesting books they were able to lay hands on from the library or bookshops, had only read textbooks, none of which was really worthwhile, or could be read in one sitting. He was deprived of the privilege of gaining access to the writers' fantastic worlds through the windows their books have opened, so to speak一个人的穿着似乎能影响他的行为方式。

譬如，在校内要穿校服是中小学生所必须严格遵守的规矩之一。

倘若在学生着装整齐划一和行为的统一规范之间不存在一种象征性关联的话，校服便不可能如此盛行。

What you wear seems to dictate your behaviour. Take primary school and high school students for example. One of the hard and fast rules they have to observe is that they must wear uniforms at school. There is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and the students' conformity to some common code of conduct.谈及目前经济萧条所带来的影响，学生活动的减少就是一个很好的例证。

为了活跃校园生活，大学愿意划拨一部分资金来资助学生社团活动，但由于今年学校的预算大幅减少，对社团的资助也相应缩减了不少。

显然，学生社团要恢复以前的活力就必须想办法克服自身的经济困难。

有人主张招募更多会员，因为会员费的增加可以帮助他们度过难关。

When it comes to the effects of the current economic downturn, the decrease of student activities is a good case in point. To enliven campus life, the university is always willing to carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies, but such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget cut. Apparently, student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to recover from their current state of inactiveness. Some suggest enrolling more club members, on the ground that the consequent increase of membership fees may help them get out of the difficulty.我们对理想丈夫或理想妻子的假设显示出我们的性别期待以及我们对性别期待的反应。

如果大多数年轻姑娘希望她们的未婚夫强悍、能干、可靠，那么小伙子们也就别无选择，只能把自己训练得强悍、能干、可靠，这样才能赢得女孩子的芳心。

如果他们的做法与性别期待背道而驰，那么他们很可能会在悲叹自己的光棍生涯中度过下半辈子。

根据同样的不成文法则，如果多数年轻男子希望他们的未婚妻温柔体贴、耐心、忠贞，认为这些比什么都重要，那么姑娘即便不是这种人，也会假装自己将来会成为贤妻良母。

Our presumptions about what ideal husbands or wives are like reveal a lot about our gender expectations as well as our responses to them. If most girls want their fiancés to be tough, c apable and reliable, there is no option left for young men other than to be trained as tough, capable and reliable if they want to win girls' heart. If they act to the contrary, they will most probably bemoan their bachelor's status for the rest of their lives. Following the same unwritten rule, if most boys expect their fiancées to be caring, patient and faithful more than anything else, girls are prone to let on that they will become faithful wives and loving mothers even if they are not the type.为保证校园的安全，校方最近发布了一项新的规定，禁止小商贩进入校园。

校长呼吁学生在这件事上与学校合作。

学生们表示强烈反对，几百名学生在学校的BBS上表达了他们的愤怒。

他们说，因为校园离市中心很远，校内商店里的货品又不多，把小贩赶出校园就无异于把学生扔到孤岛上。

有些人提出，正是在这样的事情上，学校应该听取学生的意见和需求。

有些学生认为，这项规定能让校园更安全的想法是错误的。

To make the campus safer, the university authorities recently released a new regulation that forbids any vendors from entering the campus, and the president called on the students to cooperate with the university on this matter. But the students' opposition was strong, and hundreds of them expressed their anger on the university BBS. They said that to keep vendors off campus was like deserting students on an isolated island, as the university was far away from the downtown and the shops on the campus did not provide enough commodities. Some claimed that it was precisely for matters of this kind that the university should listen to students' opinions and needs. Some students thought the university had got it wrong in believing that this regulation will ensure safety on campus.。
