他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。

最新Unit 6 Food新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译
Unit 6 FoodFood and Culture[1] We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.[2] Some people in Africa think African termites make a delicious meal. Many other people would probably be sick if they had to eat termites, but one hundred grams of termites contain more than twice as many calories and almost twice as much protein as one hundred grams of cooked hamburger.[3] However, food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.[4] But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos. For example, the sacred cows of India are well known. Cows can go wherever they want to in the streets of India, and they can eat anything they want from the supplies of the foodsellers on the street. As a result, the cows are a problem. However, no one in India will kill them or eat them. It is taboo to do so. This custom seems strange to other people, but anthropologists believe that there are reasons for it. First, cows are valuable because the farmers need them to help plow their fields. Second, cow manure is used as a fertilizer on the fields. In India, many farmers cannot afford to spend money on fertilizer. Third, the cow manure can be dried and burned to make cooking fires. Therefore, farmers that kill their cows for meat soon find that they cannot plow or fertilize their fields or make a cooking fire.[5] Another example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from someother cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals. Thieves will not usually enter a house where there is a dog because the dog will bark and possibly attack a stranger who is trying to get into a house. Apparently, the dog's place in society as a companion and as protection against criminals makes the dog taboo as food.[6] The taboo against eating pork occurs in more than one culture. There is some evidence that some ancient Egyptians did not eat pork. The ancient Israelites also regarded pork as taboo. One explanation for the pig-eating taboo is that pork that is not cooked sufficiently may spread a disease called trichinosis. However, most people no longer think that this is a good explanation for the pork taboo. Another explanation is that the Israelites were nomads—they were always moving from place to place. People have to stay in one place to raise pigs. The Israelites did not want to stay in one place because they did not want to change their culture. As a result, they did not eat pigs.[7] Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.饮食与文化1 对于什么样的食物好吃，我们都有自己的主见。

Unit 6 Food新编大学英语第二版第二册教案
Unit 6 FoodUseful InformationFood is a basic necessity, so every culture has important norms and customs related to it. Ever since they adopted settled lifestyles centuries or millennia ago, most cultures have emphasized daily meals in households or family units. Some members provide the food, some members prepare the food, and all members must eat. The providers and the preparers may not be the same, depending partly on gender roles and specialization. And the status of individuals in the eating process may not be the same, depending partly on their age and gender, and whether the household contains servants or guests. Servants rarely eat with others, while honored guests may be wined and dined like visiting royalty. Elders and males may also be treated ceremonially.Formal meals may take hours in some cultures or households, while in others people may eat hastily while traveling to their next destination on foot or by car. Some people eat while working or use eating as a form of recreation. In most cultures the feeding of friends, relatives, and others is a way of meeting, socializing, entertaining, and showing respect. Some cultures permit or encourage the use of alcoholic or caffeinated beverages with food, while others discourage or even prohibit this. Most cultures have food preferences and food taboos, so they find different ways to achieve balanced diets.Eating away from home in restaurants, taverns, inns, or hotels has long been an option in most cultures, but the variety of these choices is rapidly increasing today as the fast pace of modern life encourages more people to “eat on the run”. This also tends to blur the traditional distinction between providers and preparers of food, especially in families where both parents work full-time outside the home. In such cases both parents may eat out at noon, the children may eat at school, and anyone may pick up pizza or hamburgers on the way home or phone for pizza to be delivered. In the U.S., Chinese restaurants do a big take-out business and microwa ved “TV dinners” are very popular. Some busy families rarely eat formal meals together, even when they all eat at home. Refrigeration has also changed eating habits, and “raiding the refrigerator” is often a substitute for preparing meals. As eating habits have changed, table manners have tended to decline, though proper etiquette is still needed on formal occasions.Mealtimes differ considerably from culture to culture or from household to household. In agrarian cultures rural families tend to eat their first two meals earlier in the day, while in industrial cultures urban families often have them later. The time of the third meal depends on several factors such as whether there is a nap after lunch and whether food or beverages are typically consumed in the mid-to-late afternoon as snacks or social events.In some cultures “tea” in the afternoon is almost a fourth meal. Some people have their supper in the late afternoon or early evening, while others may have it in the mid-to-late evening. For some people the second meal of the day is the largest, while for others the third meal is the largest. This causes considerable confusion as to whether lunch or supper is more appropriately referred to as “dinner.” Further confusion is caused by people who skip brea kfast and others who prefer “brunch” instead. Brunch is especially popular on weekends, when it may last from mid-morning to early afternoon.The biggest recent change in eating habits and food-related lifestyles is the advent of fast food. This permits many people to eat conveniently away from home, or to bring food home to eat without having to prepare it. But it also makes family-style meals less likely to be, and it is not always very nutritious. The clever marketing of fast food such as McDonald’s ha mburgers and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) may cause some youngsters to dislike their parents’ cooking and some college students to dislike the more nutritious food available on campus. Eating fast food while driving is also a cause of traffic accidents. So ciologist George Ritzer uses the metaphor of “McDonaldization” to criticize the entire cultural trend toward standardized pre-packaged products which can be quickly consumed. He claims the quality of life is diminished by what he calls the “McDonaldization of society,” and that we should voice our protest by eating in local “mom and pop” restaurants rather than patronizing national or international fast-food chains. Despite Ritzer’s advice, McDonald’s and other fast-food chains are probably here to stay. They are getting more similar to one another all the time, with hamburger chains offering chicken, chicken chains offering hamburgers, and all of them offering milk shakes and fries.Nutritionists have been warning that the typical fast-food diet is unhealthy if eaten too often. Consequently, some of the fast-food chains, such as McDonald’s, are now including healthier options for their customers along with the traditional hamburgers. Various healthy salads are now appearing on the menu boards, along with low fat salad dressing options. For children, fresh apple slices with a low fat caramel dipping sauce can now be chosen in the place of French fries in the children’s meal, and apple juice or low fat white and chocolate milk can be chosen instead of a cola. Bottled water also can now be purchased instead of a soft drink if one so chooses. Most people believe that this trend of healthier eating will continue.Part One Preparation2. How Much Do You Know about Food?1. A2. B3. C4. C5. B6. A7. C8. B9. C 10. A3. Comparing DietsSTEP ONESamples1) --This is not a healthy diet. First, he eats too much. Second, he has too much sugar, which may change into fat and accumulate in the body.--This is generally speaking a healthy diet. Apart from the fact that the food is too much for a 10-year-old boy, his diet includes most of the nutrients necessary for a healthy body.2) Diet of a 10-year-old Chinese boy on a typical day:Breakfast: one or two pieces of bread, one egg, a cup of milk, etc.;Lunch: rice, fish or meat, vegetables, etc. (or noodles);Supper: rice, fish or meat, vegetables, soup, etc.;Snacks during the day: some fruit, candies, chocolates, drinks, etc.3) Differences between the British boy and a Chinese boy:A. The British boy eats a wider variety of things.B. The British boy eats much more than a Chinese boy.STEP TWOSamples1) Different DietsAt school:Student ABreakfast: two steamed rolls (or baozi), some porridgeLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: an apple or a pear, some biscuitsStudent BBreakfast: a cup of milk, one boiled egg, some rice cakesLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: some biscuits, cookies, or cakes, some preserved fruit.At home (for both):A much wider variety of foods like seafood, more snacks, more fruit, etc.2) Advice on the improvement of the diet:A. Student B should have some fruit every day; otherwise the lack of vitamin C may cause sickness.B. Student A should drink some milk every day, since milk provides certain minerals, vitamins, etc., which are necessary for a healthy body.C. Both students should add some variety in their diets, because different foods contain different nutrients the body needs. Besides, their diets at school and at home shouldn’t be too different.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI. Pre-ReadingSamples:1. ― I like fresh fruit, vegetables, pork, seafood, all kinds of nuts, etc.. I don’t l ike beef, lamb, chicken and pickles.― Although I’m not a vegetarian, I like vegetables and fruit most. I eat a lot of them. I also like seafood because I was born in a city on the coast. I’ve been exposed to seafood ever since my childhood. I don’t eat me at, any kind of meat.2. ― The reason why I eat certain foods or don’t eat certain foods is simple: taste. In other words, I eat what tastes good, and don’t eat what doesn’t. But there is one exception. I’ve never tried snake because I’m scared by the c reature. The mere mention of the word “snake” makes my skin crawl.― I think our eating habits were formed at home when we were very young. For example, my mother is an excellent cook, especially good at cooking seafood and vegetables. I ate a lot of them at home. Gradually I’ve become used to this diet.3. Yes. People in Guangzhou eat rats, snakes and many other birds or animals. It is said that they eat anything with 2 legs except human beings and anything with 4 legs except tables. Although it is an exaggeration, it shows they really eat a wide range of things. Many people think that’s strange because rats and snakes are nauseating. I also find eating raw fish strange, because I think raw fish contains a lot of bacteria.II. Passage ReadingWords, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. be sick (l.5), vomit, nauseate (l.3)“Be sick” can mean “feel ill as if one is going to vomit”.e.g. She was sick after she ate too much chocolate.Lucy felt sick (= felt likely to vomit) the morning after the party.Other uses include: airsick, carsick, seasick.“Nauseate” comes from the word “nausea” which means “a feeling of illness in the stomach, often making one feel as if one is going to vomit.” It’s a formal word and often used in passive form.e.g. He is nauseated by the smell of meat cooking.“Vomit” means “bring food or drink up from one’s stomach through one’s mouth, because one is sick.”In spoken English, “be sick” is more often used to mean “throw up all the contents in the stomach through the mouth” than “be generally ill”.e.g. If one eats too many sweets one will be sick.The more formal word in British and American English is “vomit”, and the less formal expression is “throw up”.Compare: be sick of … (=be very annoyed about…) 对……感到厌烦的e.g. I’m sick of the way you’re behaving.2. The term “sacred cow” (l. 23) is also used derogatorily to refer to an idea, practice, etc. that is so much accepted that not even the slightest doubts about it are allowed.e.g. I) The need for secrecy has become a kind of sacred cow.II) They did not dare to challenge the sacred cow of parliamentary democracy.2) ―When I see people eat things I don’t like, my first reaction is disgust. I just can’t understand how people can eat such nauseating things. Sometimes I feel that people are cruel when they eat some animals which are a help to human beings.―I don’t mind what other people prefer eating. People can have different likes and dislikes in different aspects. Nowadays a variety of foods are available in most places of the country and people can have a good choice. Many of us even enjoy foods from other countries. But we have to think about our environment as well as health before eating. Sars has already taught us a good lesson in eating.Vocabulary1. 1) common 2) appropriate 3) forbidden 4) supplies 5) related 6) evidence 7) requires 8) raise 9) spread 10) sufficiently2. 1) disgusting 2) habit 3) insects 4) reasonable 5)relatively6) animals 7) harvested 8) grow 9) nearly 10) other11) altogether 12) consumed 13) avoided 14) popular 15) offers16) served 17) would 18) enjoyed 19) considered 20) reject3. 1) G 2) F 3) B 4) C 5) H 6) E 7) I 8) D 9) A 10) JTranslation1. We regard him as one of the best players in the game.2. The scientist picked up those little pieces of rock and carefully put them into a box.3. The population of China is almost five times as large as that of the United States.4. The reason why grass is green was once a mystery to the little boy.5. She was standing by the window, apparently quite calm and relaxed.6. Profits have declined as a result of the recent drop in sales.7.

以生命相赠1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。
在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。
2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。
3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。
救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。
他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。
如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。
4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。
5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。
孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。
医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。
接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。
6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。
此时小病人生命垂危。
然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。
过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。
7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。
“你叫什么名字？”8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。
9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。
在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。
10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。
11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。
12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。
医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。
13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。
他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴想竭力忍住哭泣。
14 现在医疗小组非常担忧，因为针不该使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。

善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯? J ? 布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。
因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。
但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。
不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。
即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。
对他来说这是一种自豪。
4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。
这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。
一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。
曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。
5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。
他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。
6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。
他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。
如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。
7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。
但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。
8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。
当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。
他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。
他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

第六单元妇女半边天课文A????有些妇女何以能既做一份全职工作又能兼顾家庭的责任，并仍有余暇做其他事情?艾德丽安·波珀渴望能像她们一样，但又怀疑这会不会是一个根本无法实现的梦想。
我要买下布鲁克林桥艾德丽安·波？????不久前，我收到母校一份校友简报。
里面有一条是关于一个老同学的消息：“凯特·L在俄克拉荷马大学兼职任教，并任县高中校长助理。
她正在利用业余时间完成博士论文以及两本著作的最后定稿，同时她仍有时间与女儿们一起打网球、骑马。
”这条短讯中有四个字令我心神不安：业余时间。
有位朋友说，要是我对这一报道里的一切都信以为真，那她在布鲁克林还有一座桥要出售给我呢。
????朋友的打趣一针见血。
我多蠢啊!于是我打定主意，不再去想凯特那些不可思议的成就，以后看到类似报道也不要轻易相信。
????可是，就像节食者一时软弱竟把整盒饼干吃个精光一样，我发现自己的决心也有动摇之时。
每当不坚定时，我就在报刊上到处搜寻，贪婪地阅读一篇又一篇的成功故事。
我最喜欢的女强人有＼一位政治家的女儿，她在照料一个两岁幼儿与一个新生儿的同时读完了法学院，同时还经营着一家公司；一位开业儿科医师，她自己有十个子女还有一位电视主持人，她是两个学龄前儿童的母亲，还在攻读硕士学位。
然而，有一天我真的与一位女强人面对面相逢。
去年圣诞节前，我因工作需要来到一家全国性公司女总裁的办公室。
如同其他女强人一样，她有丈夫，两个孩子，还有一处据说是纤尘不染的公寓。
她的生活安排得如瑞士表一般精确。
由于我本人的计划安排很少成功，她的成就既令我惊讶不已，又使我深感内疚。
????那天，她办公桌后面的架子上放置了至少一百罐草莓酱，上面扎着鲜艳的红格缎带。
这些果酱是总裁和她的孩子们一起制作的，罐子也是他们一起装饰的，她准备把果酱送给员工及来访的客户。
????我不由得惊问，她从哪儿抽出时间完成如此令人钦佩的假日工程?我真不该多此一问。
答案听上去相当熟悉：业余时间。

Unit 6 FoodFood and Culture[1] We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.[2] Some people in Africa think African termites make a delicious meal. Many other people would probably be sick if they had to eat termites, but one hundred grams of termites contain more than twice as many calories and almost twice as much protein as one hundred grams of cooked hamburger.[3] However, food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.[4] But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. T aboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are notconnected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos. For example, the sacred cows of India are well known. Cows can go wherever they want to in the streets of India, and they can eat anything they want from the supplies of the foodsellers on the street. As a result, the cows are a problem. However, no one in India will kill them or eat them. It is taboo to do so. This custom seems strange to other people, but anthropologists believe that there are reasons for it. First, cows are valuable because the farmers need them to help plow their fields. Second, cow manure is used as a fertilizer on the fields. In India, many farmers cannot afford to spend money on fertilizer. Third, the cow manure can be dried and burned to make cooking fires. Therefore, farmers that kill their cows for meat soon find that they cannot plow or fertilize their fields or make a cooking fire.[5] Another example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from some other cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals. Thieves will not usually enter a house where there is a dog because the dog will bark and possibly attack a stranger who is trying to get into a house. Apparently, the dog's place in society as a companion and as protection against criminals makes the dog taboo as food.[6] The taboo against eating pork occurs in more than one culture. There issome evidence that some ancient Egyptians did not eat pork. The ancient Israelites also regarded pork as taboo. One explanation for the pig-eating taboo is that pork that is not cooked sufficiently may spread a disease called trichinosis. However, most people no longer think that this is a good explanation for the pork taboo. Another explanation is that the Israelites were nomads—they were always moving from place to place. People have to stay in one place to raise pigs. The Israelites did not want to stay in one place because they did not want to change their culture. Asa result, they did not eat pigs.[7] Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.饮食与文化1 对于什么样的食物好吃，我们都有自己的主见。
