Unit 6--The Green Banana
高级英语读写译教程翻译及答案讲解
Unit OneSection AThe Green Banana 参考译文青香蕉[1] 我与青香蕉的邂逅始于巴西内地一条陡峭的山路上，尽管这样的事也可能发生在其它任何地方。
正当我的老掉牙的吉普车吃力地爬着坡，穿过风景迷人的乡野时，车子散热器开始漏水了，而那里距最近的修理铺有十英里路。
发动机温度太高，逼得我在下一个村庄边把车停下。
村里有一家小店和零散的一些房屋。
人们过来围观。
三股细细的热水从散热器外壳的漏洞喷出。
“这好修理，”一个男人说。
他叫一男孩跑去拿几根青香蕉来。
这人拍着我的肩膀要我相信一切都会解决的。
“青香蕉，”他微笑着说。
周围的人表示赞同。
[2] 我们互相寒暄的同时，我琢磨着青香蕉能会有什么用。
要是追问的话就显得我无知。
所以我就评论起这一带的美景了。
巨大的岩石构造像里约热内卢的糖塔山一样耸立在我们的周围。
“你看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”这位要帮我忙的男人指着一座细长高耸的黑色岩块的尖顶问道。
“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”[3] 我看着他，想知道他是否在开我玩笑，但他满脸严肃的表情。
这时他也仔细地盯着我，看我是否理解了他那话的含义。
此时此刻需要我做出认可的表示。
“世界的中心？”我重复着。
尽管我不是全然相信，仍竭力表示出我很感兴趣。
他点点头，“绝对是中心。
这一带，人人皆知。
”[4] 这时一个男孩拿着为我摘的青香蕉回来了。
那个人把香蕉掰成两半，把断面压在散热器的外壳上。
香蕉碰在热金属上后，化成了胶状物，立即就把漏洞堵住了。
所有人都被我惊讶的神态逗乐了。
他们重新灌满了我的散热器，并给我了一些备用的香蕉带上。
路上我又用青香蕉堵了一次。
一小时后，我和我的散热器到达了目的地。
当地的机修工笑着对我说：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我说出了那个村子。
”“他们让你看标志着世界中心的那块岩石了吗？”他问道。
我作了肯定的回答。
“我的爷爷是那儿人。
”他说，“那儿是正中心，这一带的所有人都知道。
”[5] 作为美国高等教育的产物，我还从未对青香蕉发生过一丁点儿兴趣，只不过把它作为一种成熟时机未到的水果。

第六单元Translation of Text A青香蕉1尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生，但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。
我那老式吉普车正吃力地穿过景色优美的乡村，这时，水箱突然漏水了，而离我最近的汽车修理站也还要十英里。
发动机过热迫使我在临近的村庄停了下来。
村里有一个小商店和分布在四处的几座房子。
有村民围过来看，三股细细的热水柱从水箱外壳上的小孔喷出来。
“这容易解决，”一个人说到。
他让一个小男孩跑去拿些青香蕉来。
这个人还拍了拍我的肩膀，安慰我问题会解决的。
“青香蕉。
”他笑了，其余的人都这么说着。
2我和他们闲聊起来，心里却一直在想他们用这青香蕉怎么能修补好水箱。
毫无疑问，提问会暴露我的无知，因此我开始赞叹眼前美丽的乡村景色。
耸立在我们周围巨大的岩石群，很像里约热内卢著名的糖面包山。
“看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”那人指着一块特别高而且细长的黑色石柱问我，“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”3我看着他，想知道他是否在和我开玩笑，但他却表情严肃，反过来认真地审视着我，似乎想确定我是否领会了他那句话的深刻含义。
这种情况要求我必须表现出认同。
他点头说：“绝对是中心。
这儿的人都知道。
”4这时，小男孩抱着青香蕉回来了。
那个男子把其中一根掰成两半，将其断口处按在水箱的外壳上。
香蕉遇到炙热的金属融成了胶，立刻就堵住了漏洞。
面对如此情景，我惊呆了，我当时的表情一定是傻傻的，所有的人都笑了起来。
他们把我的水箱装满水，又让我带上一些香蕉，以防沿途中水箱再出问题。
路上，我又用了一次青香蕉，一个小时后，我开着车到达了目的地。
当地的一修理工笑着问我：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我告诉了他那个村子的名字。
“他们有没有指给你看标志世界中心的那块岩石?”他问道。
我告诉他，他们指给我看了。
“我祖父就是那儿的人，”他说，“那的确是中心。
一直以来这儿的人都知道。
”5作为美国教育的产物，除了把青香蕉当作还没长熟的水果，我从来就没注意过它。
The Green Banana- Main Idea
2
Paragraph 5-8
What the author learned: Every culture has its hidden treasure and should be respected.
• Later, the author gradually realized that each culture has its own treasure.
• For people of every race, the place where they live has a special meaning to them, and thus, in a sense, represents the center of the world. The world therefore has countless centers, but one cannot experience them all.
• 如何看待异域文化和文化差异成了值得人们认真思考的重要问题。
• How to treat foreign cultures and cultural differences has become an important issue worthy of serious consideration.
• At the same time, from small talk with villagers, the author was surprised to learn that they believed that a nearby rock was the center of the world.

英文小故事---TheGreenBanana
The Green Banana英语原文My encounter with the green banana started on a steep mountain road in Brazil. My ancient jeep was zigzagging when the radiator began to leak. I stopped at the next village, where people gathered to look. Three fine streams of hot water spouted from holes in the radiator.“That’s easy to fix,” a man said. He sent a boy running for some green bananas. We exchanged pleasantries while I mulled over the green banana. Asking questions would seems silly, so I remarked on the beauty of the mountain.“Do you see that tall one right over there?” asked my benefactor, pointing to a particular tall, slender pinnacle of dark rock. “That rock marks the center of the world.”I looked to see if he were teasing me, but his face was serious. He in turn inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement. The occasion demanded some show of recognition on my part. “The center of the world?” I repeated, trying to convey interest if not complete acceptance.He nodded. “The absolute center.”At that moment the boy returned with my green bananas. The man sliced one in half and pressed the cut end against the radiator.The banana melted into a glue against the hot metal, plugging the leaks instantly.Everyone laughed at my astonishment. As a product of American higher education, I had never paid the slightest attention to the green banana. Suddenly on that mountain road, its time and my need had converged.This chance encounter showed me the special genius of those people, and the special potential of the green banana. I had been wondering for some time about what educators like to call “learning moments”, and I now knew I had just experienced two of them at once.The importance of the rock marking the center of the world took a while to filter through. I had initially doubted their claim, knowing for a fact that the center was located somewhere in New England. After all, my grandfather had come from there. But gradually I realized they had a valid belief, a universal concept, and I agreed with them. We tend to define the center as that special place where we are known, where we know others, where things mean much to us, and where we ourselves have both identity and meaning: family, school, town and local region.参考译文青香蕉我遇到青香蕉是在巴西中部的一条陡峭山路上，我那辆老吉普车在美丽的乡村艰难穿行时，水箱开始漏水。

Brazil
With an estimated 170 million inhabitants, Brazil has the largest population in Latin America and ranks sixth in the world. population In Brazil, 54 million people live below the poverty line. The child mortality rate has fallen to 29 per 1,000 live. The fight against HIV/AIDS requires special actions focused on children and youth. poverty With 97 per cent enrolment in primary school, the educational challenge is that of quality: 1.1 million children and adolescents aged 12 to 17 are still unable to read and write; 11 per cent of children are completing eight years of primary school by age 15. Child survival, development, participation and protection all remain challenges that call for continued advocacy from education UNICEF.
