课文翻译(Translation of the text)第一课超级摇滚巨星——关于我们自己和我们的社会,他们告诉我们些什么?摇滚乐是青少年反叛的音乐。

一—摇滚乐评论家约翰·罗克韦尔由其崇拜的人即可知其人。

——小说家罗伯特·佩恩·沃伦1972年6月中旬的一天,芝加哥圆形露天剧场里观众如潮,群情激昂,狂摇猛摆。

台上,滚石乐队的米克·贾格尔正在演唱“午夜漫步人”。

演唱结束时评论家唐·赫克曼在现场。

他说:“贾格尔抓起一个装有半加伦水的罐子沿着舞台前沿跑动,把里面的水往前几排狂热的听众身上洒。

他们蜂拥地跟随他,热切地希望能淋上几滴这洗礼的圣水。

”1973年12月下旬的一天,大约一万四千名尖声叫喊的歌迷在华盛顿市外的首都中心剧场嘈杂地涌向台前。

美国的恐怖歌星艾利斯·库珀正要结束自己表演。

他借助断头台假装结束自己生命来结束表演。

他的“头”落人一个草篮中。

“啊!”一个穿黑衣服的女孩惊呼道,“啊,太了不起了!”十四岁的迈克·玻利也在场,但他的父母并不在。

“他们觉得他令人恶心,”迈克说,“他们对我说,‘你怎么能忍受那种东西?’”1974年1月下旬的一天,在纽约州尤宁代尔的拿骚体育馆里,鲍勃·狄伦和乐队正在为音乐会上用的乐器调音。

场外瓢泼大雨中,摇滚乐迷克利斯·辛格正等着入场。

“这是朝圣,”克利斯说,“我应该跪着爬进去。

”你是如何看待所有这些溢美之词与英雄崇拜?当米克·贾格尔迷们把他视为至高的神父或神明时,你是赞成他们还是反对他们?你和克利斯·辛格一样对鲍勃·狄伦怀有几乎是宗教般的崇敬吗?你认为他或狄伦步入歧途了吗?你是否嫌艾利斯·库珀表演恶心而不接受他?还是你莫名其妙地被这个怪异的小丑吸引,因为他表现了你最疯狂的幻想?这并非是些随便问问的问题。

有些社会学家认为,你对这些问题的回答,很能说明你在想些什么,社会在想些什么。

Unit1 One Writer's Beginnings作家起步时1.我从两三岁起就知道,家中随便在哪个房间里,白天无论在什么时间,都可以念书或听人念书。

母亲念书给我听。

上午她都在那间大卧室里给我念,两人一起坐在她那把摇椅里,我们摇晃时,椅子发出有节奏的滴答声,好像有只唧唧鸣叫的蟋蟀在伴着读故事。

冬日午后,她常在餐厅里烧着煤炭的炉火前给我念,布谷鸟自鸣钟发出“咕咕”声时,故事便结束了;晚上我在自己床上睡下后她也给我念。

想必我是不让她有一刻清静。

有时她在厨房里一边坐着搅制黄油一边给我念,故事情节就随着搅制黄油发出的抽抽搭搭的声响不断展开。

我的奢望是她念我来搅拌;有一次她满足了我的愿望,可是我要听的故事她念完了,她要的黄油我却还没弄好。

她念起故事来富有表情。

比如,她念《穿靴子的猫》时,你就没法不相信她对猫一概怀疑。

2 当我得知故事书原来是人写出来的,书本原来不是什么大自然的奇迹,不像草那样自生自长时,真是又震惊又失望。

不过,姑且不论书本从何而来,我不记得自己有什么时候不爱书——书本本身、封面、装订、印着文字的书页,还有油墨味、那种沉甸甸的感觉,以及把书抱在怀里时那种将我征服、令我陶醉的感觉。

还没识字,我就想读书了,一心想读所有的书。

3 我的父母都不是来自那种买得起许多书的家庭。

然而,虽然买书准得花去他不少薪金,作为一家成立不久的保险公司最年轻的职员,父亲一直在精心挑选、不断订购他和母亲认为儿童成长应读的书。

他们购书首先是为了我们的前程。

4 除了客厅里有一向被称作“图书室”的书橱,餐厅的窗子下还有几张摆放百科全书的桌子和一个字典架。

这里有伴随我们在餐桌旁争论着长大的《韦氏大词典》、《哥伦比亚百科全书》、《康普顿插图百科全书》、《林肯资料文库》,以及后来的《知识库》。

“图书馆”书橱里的书没过多久我就能读了——我的确读了,全都读了,按着顺序,一排接着一排读,从最上面的书架一直读到最下面的书架。

母亲读书最重要的不在获取信息。

第一单元伟大的科学家Reading 约翰.斯诺击败“霍乱王”约翰.斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生—他的确医术精湛,因而成为照料维多利亚女皇的私人医生。

但当他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时,他就感到很振奋。

霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病,人们既不知道它的病源,也不了解它的治疗方法。

每次暴发霍乱时,就有大批惊恐的老百姓病死。

约翰.斯诺想面对这个挑战,解决这个问题。

他知道,在找到病源之前,霍乱疫情是无法控制的。

斯诺对霍乱致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。

一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中腐殖着,像一股危险的气流到处漂浮,直到找到病毒的受害者为止。

第二种看法是在吃饭的时候人们把这种病毒引入体内的。

病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者就会很快地死去。

斯诺推测第二种说法是正确的,但是他需要证据。

因此,在1854年伦敦再次暴发霍乱的时候,约翰.斯诺着手准备对此调研。

当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时候,约翰.斯诺就开始收集资料。

他发现特别在两条街道上霍乱流行的很严重,在10天之内就死去了500多人。

他决心要查明其原因。

首先,他在一张地图上标明了所有死者住过的地方。

这提供了一条说明霍乱起因的很有价值的线索。

许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是这条街上16、37、38、40号)。

他发现有些住宅(如宽街上20号和21号以及剑桥上的8号和9号)却无人死亡。

他以前没预料到这种情况,所以他决定深入调查。

他发现,这些人都在剑桥街7号的酒馆里打工,而酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒喝,因此他们没有喝从宽街水泵抽上来的水。

看来水是罪魁祸首。

接下来,约翰.斯诺调查了这两条街的水源情况。

他发现,水是从河里来的,而河水被伦敦排出的脏水污染了。

他马上叫宽街上惊慌失措的老百姓拆掉水泵上的把手。

这样,水泵就用不成了。

不久,疫情就开始得到了缓解。

他证明了,霍乱是由病菌而不是由气团传播的。

在伦敦的另一个地区,他从两个与宽街暴发的霍乱有关联的死亡病例中发现了有力的证据。

有一位妇女是从宽街搬进来的,她特备喜欢那里的水,每天都要派人从水泵打水运到家里来。

Unit 5 The Plug-in Drug: TV and the American FamilyA quarter of a century after the introduction of television into American society, a period that has seen the medium become so deeply ingrained in American life that in at least one state the television set has attained the rank of a legal necessity, 1safe from repossession in case of debt along with clothes, cooking utensils, and the like, television viewing has become an inevitable and ordinary part of daily life. Only in the early years of television did writers and commentators2have sufficient perspective to separate the activity of watching television from the actual content it offers the viewer. In those early days writers frequently discussed the effects of television on family life. However a curious 3myopia afflicted those early observers: almost without exception they regarded television as a favorable, beneficial, indeed, 4wondrous influence upon the family.在电视机这项发明进入美国人生活的25后,他已经在美国人的生活中根深蒂固,甚至美国至少有一个州的法律规定电视机是生活的必须品,而且如果负债,它可以和衣物,厨具一样免于作为财产抵押,而且看电视也成为人们生活中非常普遍甚至是不可避免的活动。

高级英语上册第5课

I'd Rather Be Black than FemaleBeing the first black woman elected to Congress has made me some kind of phenomenon1. There are nine other blacks in Congress; there are ten other women. I was the first to overcome both handicaps at once2. Of the two handicaps, being black is much less of a drawback than being female.If I said that being black is a greater handicap than being a woman, probably no one would question me3. Why? Because “we all know”there is prejudice against4black people in America. That there is prejudice against women is an idea that still strikes5nearly all men -- and, I am afraid, most women -- as bizarre.Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years. When blacks finally started to “mention”it, withsit-ins, boycotts, and freedom rides, Americans were incredulous. “Who, us?” they asked in injured tones. “We're prejudiced?” It was the start of a long, painful reeducation for white America. It will take years for whites -- including those who think of themselves as liberals -- to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women? I am sure it will be a longer struggle. Part of the problem is that women in America are much more brainwashed and content with 6their roles as second - class citizens7than blacks ever were.Let me explain. I have been active in politics8for more than twenty years. For all but the last six9, I have done the work -- all the tedious details that make the difference between victory and defeat on Election Day - while men reaped the rewards, which is almost invariably the lot of women in politics.It is still women-about three million volunteers -- who do most ofthis work in the American political world. The best any of them can hope for10is the honor of being district or county vice-chairman, a kind of separate-but-equal11position with which a woman is rewarded for years of faithful envelope stuffing and card-party organizing. In such a job, she gets a number of free trips to state and sometimes national meetings and conventions, where her role is supposed to12be to vote the way her male chairman votes.When I tried to break out of13that role in 1963 and run for the New York State Assembly seat from Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, the resistance was bitter. From the start of that campaign, I faced undisguised hostility because of my sex.But it was four years later, when I ran for Congress, that the question of my sex became a major issue. Among members of my own party, closed meetings were held to discuss ways of stopping me.My opponent, the famous civil-rights leader James Farmer, tried to project a black, masculine image; he toured the neighborhood withsound trucks filled with young men wearing Afro haircuts, dashikis, and beards. While the television crews ignored me, they were not aware of a very important statistic, which both I and my campaign manager, Wesley MacD. Holder, knew. In my district there are 2.5 women for every man registered to vote. And those women are organized -- in PTAs, church societies, card clubs, and other social and service groups I went to them and asked their help. Mr. Farmer still doesn't quite know what hit him.When a bright young woman graduate starts looking for a job, why is the first question always; “Can you type?”A history of prejudice lies behind that question. Why are women thought of as secretaries, not administrators? Librarians and teachers, but not doctors and lawyers? Because they are thought of as14different and inferior. The happy homemaker and the contented darky are both stereotypes produced by prejudice.Women have not even reached the level of tokenism that blacksare reaching. No women sit on the Supreme Court. Only two have held Cabinet rank, and none do at present. Only two women hold ambassadorial rank. But women predominate in the lower-paying, menial, unrewarding, dead-end jobs, and when they do reach better positions, they are invariably paid less than15a man for the same job.If that is not prejudice, what would you call it?A few years ago, I was talking with a political leader about a promising young woman as a candidate. “Why invest time and effort to build the girl up?” he asked me. “You know she’ll only drop out of16the game to have a couple of kids just about the time we’re ready to run her for mayor.”Plenty of people have said similar things about me. Plenty of others have advised me, every time, I tried to take another upward step17, that I should go back to teaching, a woman’s vocation and leave18politics to the men. I love teaching, and I am ready to goback to it as soon as I am convinced that19this country no longer20 needs a women's contribution.When there are no children going to bed hungry in this rich nation, I may be ready to go back to teaching. When there is a good school for every child, I may be ready. When we do not spend our wealth on hardware to murder people, when we no longer tolerate prejudice against minorities, and when the laws against unfair housing and unfair employment practices are enforced instead of evaded, then there may be nothing more for me to do in politics.But until that happens -- and we all know it will not be this year or next -- what we need is more women in politics, because we have a very special contribution to make. I hope that the example of my success will convince other women to get into politics -- and not just to stuff envelopes21, but to run for22office.It is women who can bring empathy, tolerance, insight, patience, and persistence to government -- the qualities23we naturally have orhave had to develop because of our suppression by men. The women of a nation mold24its morals, its religion, and its politics by the lives they live. At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.1 to make sb some kind of phenomenon 使某人成为不寻常的人2 at once同时3question me 置疑我4prejudice against 对...偏见5strike表示迎头一击6content with 满足于...7second - class citizens 二等公民8active in politics 活跃在政治界9For all but the last six 除了最后的那六年10hope for 希望, 期待11separate-but-equal 隔离但平等12be supposed to 应该, 被期望13break out of 摆脱(束缚等)14think of as 把...看作15less than 小于, 决不16drop out of 不参与,退出17take another upward step 再前进一步18leave to 留某事给...处理19be convinced that 确信,承认20no longer不再21stuff envelopes 装信封22run for 竞选, 赶快去请23To develop qualify 发展品质24To mold morals 塑造道德C.1、D on’t overlook the job of a secretary.

高级英语第一册课文翻译第一课中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。

此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市,其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。

你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场,然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。

这市场一直向前延伸,一眼望不到尽头,消失在远处的阴影里。

赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场,一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中,边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。

市场的路面约有十二英尺宽,但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄;那儿出售的货物各种各样,应有尽有。

你一走进市场,就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声,赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声,还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。

各种各样的噪声此伏彼起,不绝于耳,简直叫人头晕。

随后,当往市场深处走去时,人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失,眼前便是清静的布市了。

这里的泥土地面,被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的,人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了,而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。

布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子;买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下,自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样,变得低声细语起来。

中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家,为避免相互间的竞争,不是分散在集市各处,而是都集中在一块儿,这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们,同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来,结成同盟,以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。

例如,在布市上,所有那 1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边,每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。

讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。

头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺,一边挑选一边问价;在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前,往往总要先同店主谈论几句,探探价底。

对于顾客来说,至关重要的一点是,不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。

The two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservative and that of innovation, are very old, and have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made. This quarrel is the subject of civil history. The conservative party established the reverend hierarchies and monarchies of the most ancient world. The battle of patrician and plebian, of parent state and colony, of old usage and accommodation to new facts, of the rich and, of the poor, reappears in all countries and times. The war rages not only in battlefields, in national councils, and ecclesiastical synods, but agitates every man’s bosom with opposing advantages every hour. On rolls the old world meantime, and now one, now the other gets the day, and still the fight renews itself as if for the first time, under new names and hot personalities.这个国家存在着两个政党,保守党和革新党。

课文翻译第五课关于希特勒入侵苏联的讲话温斯顿•邱吉尔________________________________________二十二日星期天早晨,我一醒来便接到了希特勒入侵苏联的消息。

这就使原先意料中的事变成了无可怀疑的事实。

我完全清楚我们对此应该承担何种义务,采取何种政策。

我也完全清楚该如何就此事发表声明。

尚待完成的只不过是将这一切形成文字而已。

于是,我吩咐有关部门立即发表通告,我将于当晚九点钟发表广播讲话。

不一会儿,匆匆从伦敦赶到的迪尔将军走进我的卧室,为我带来了详细情报。

德国人已大规模入侵苏联,苏联空军部队有很大一部分飞机都没来得及起飞便遭到德军的突袭。

德军目前似乎正以凌厉的攻势极为迅猛地向前推进。

这位皇家军队总参谋长报告完毕后又补了一句,“我估计他们将会大批地被包围。

” 一整天我都在写讲稿,根本没有时间去找战时内阁进行磋商,也没有必要这样做。

我知道我们大家在这个问题上的立场是完全一致的。

艾登先生、比弗布鲁克勋爵,还有斯塔福德•克里普斯爵士——他是十号离开莫斯科回国的——那天也同我在一起。

那个周末值班的是我的私人秘书科维尔先生。

由他执笔记述的下面这段关于那个星期天里切克尔斯首相官邸发生的情况的文字,也许值得一提:“六月二十一日,星期六。

晚饭前我来到切克尔斯首相官邸。

怀南特夫妇、艾登夫妇和爱德华•布里奇斯等几位均在那儿。

晚饭席上,邱吉尔先生说,德国人人侵苏联已是必然无疑的了。

他认为希特勒是想指望博取英美两国的资本家和右冀势力的同情和支持。

不过,希特勒的如意算盘打错了。

我们英国将会全力以赴援助苏联。

维南特表示美国也会采取同样的态度。

晚饭后,当我同邱吉尔先生在槌球场上散步时,他又一次谈到了这一话题。

我当时问他,对于他这个头号反共大将来说,这种态度是否意味着改变自己的政治立场。

…绝非如此。

我现在的目标只有一个,即消灭希特勒。

这使我的生活单纯多了。

假使希特勒入侵地狱,我至少会在下议院替魔鬼说几句好话的。

‘绝非如此。

我现在的目标只有一个,即消灭希特勒。

这使我的生活单纯多了。

假使希特勒入侵地狱,我至少会在下议院替魔鬼说几句好话的。

’次日清晨四点钟,我被电话铃惊醒,原来是外交部来的电话,内容是报告德国已开始进攻俄国的消息。

首相一向吩咐,只有当英国遭到入侵时才可以叫醒他。

因此,我等到八点钟才向他报告这一消息。

他听完消息后只说了一句话:‘通知英国广播电台,我今晚九点要发表广播讲话。

’他从上午十一点开始撰写讲稿,中间除与斯塔福德.克里普斯爵士、克兰伯恩勋爵和比弗布鲁克勋爵共进午餐外,这一天的全部时间都花在写讲稿上了……讲稿直到九点差二十分才写好。

”在这次广播讲话中,我说道:“纳粹政体与共产主义的最糟糕之处毫无两样。

除了贪欲和种族统治外,它没有任何指导思想和行动准则。

它在残酷压迫和疯狂侵略过程中所犯下的滔天罪行在人类历史上可谓空前绝后。

在过去的二十五年中,我比任何人都更坚定而始终如一地反对共产主义。

过去对共产主义所作的批评我仍然一句也不想收回。

但现在展现在我们面前的景象已经将那一切冲得烟消云散了。

过去的一切,连同它的种种罪恶、蠢行和悲剧全都从眼前乍然消失。

此刻我眼前看到的是俄国的士兵昂然挺立于自己的国土,英勇地捍卫着他们祖祖辈辈自古以来一直辛勤耕耘着的土地。

我看到他们正在守卫着自己的家园,在那里母亲和妻子正在向上帝祈祷——是啊,任何人都总有祈祷的时候——祈求上帝保佑她们的亲人的平安,并保佑她们的壮劳力、她们的勇士和保护者凯旋归来。

我看见成千上万的俄国村庄,那儿的人们虽然要靠在土地上辛勤耕作才能勉强维持生计,却依然能够享受到天伦之乐,那儿的姑娘在欢笑,儿童在嬉戏。

我看到这一切正面临着凶暴的袭击,正杀气腾腾地扑向他们的是纳粹的战争机器同它的那些全副武装、刀剑当当有声、皮靴咚咚作响的普鲁士军官以及它的那些奸诈无比、刚刚帮它征服并奴役了十多个国家的帮凶爪牙。

我还看到那些呆头呆脑、训练有素、既驯服听话又凶残野蛮的德国士兵像一群蝗虫般地向前蠕动着。

我看见天空中那些屡遭英军痛击、余悸未消的德国轰炸机和战斗机此时正庆幸终于找到他们以为是无力反抗、可手到即擒的猎物。

“在这些刀光剑影、腥风血雨的场面背后,我看到一小撮恶棍在那里策划、组织,并犯下了这惨绝人寰的滔天罪行……“我不得不在此宣布大英帝国政府的决定——我相信大英帝国各自治领对这一决定会适时地表示一致赞同——因为我们必须立即表明自己的态度,一天也不应拖延。

我必须发表正式宣言,难道还会有人不清楚我们将会采取何种政策吗?我们只有一个目标,一个唯一的、不可改变的目标——我们决心消灭希特勒及纳粹政权的一切痕迹。

无论什么都不能使我们离开这一目标。

我们决不妥协,我们绝不与希特勒及其帮凶谈判议和。

我们将对他实施地面打击,我们将对他实施海上打击,我们将对他实施空中打击,直到在主的帮助下,将他的魔影从地球上消除,将纳粹统治下的人民从他所设的枷锁中解放出来。

任何坚持同纳粹集团作战的个人和国家都将得到我们的援助,任何与希特勒同流合污的个人和国家都是我们的敌人……这就是我们的政策,这就是我们的宣言。

因此,我们将竭尽全力援助俄国政府和俄国人民。

我们还将呼吁世界各地的朋友和盟国与我们同心协力,坚定不移地战斗到底……“这绝不是一场阶级战争,而是一场大英帝国和英联邦共同参加的、不分种族、宗教信仰或政党派别的全民战争。

至于美国方面的行动,我无权代作宣言,但我要声明一点:如果希特勒认为他对苏维埃俄国的进攻会使那些决心埋葬他的伟大的民主国家稍稍转移目标或松懈斗志的话,那他就大错特错了。

恰恰相反,我们将会更加坚强、更加勇敢地为将人类从他的暴政下解救出来而奋斗,我们将加强而不是削弱自己的决心和力量。

“那些让自己遭到各个击破的国家和政府,当初若是采取联合一致的行动,本来是可以使自己和全世界免遭这场劫难的。

现在当然不是对他们的愚蠢行为发表评论的时候。

但在几分钟前,当我谈到希特勒受其嗜血成性、邪恶贪婪的驱使或引诱,贸然发动了这次对俄国的侵略冒险时,我还说过在他的疯狂行为的背后隐藏着一个深谋远虑的动机。

他之所以想摧毁俄国,乃是因为他期望着一旦这一行动顺利得手,他便可以将其陆、空军主力从东线调回,投入对英伦三岛的进攻。

他清楚地知道,他必须征服英国,否则,他将因其犯下的种种罪行而受到惩罚。

入侵俄国的行动只不过是他蓄谋已久的对英伦三岛的入侵行动的序幕而已。

毫无疑问,他期望这一切能在冬季到来之前全部完成,期望在美国的海空军来不及插手干预之前即能征服大不列颠。

他期望能以空前的规模再度重演他长期以来赖以发迹的将敌手各个击破的故伎,然后便可以腾出场地来演出最后的一幕——将整个西半球置于他的控制和统治之下。

他知道,如果做不到这一点,他的全部战果都将化为泡影。

“由此可知,俄国现在所面临的危险就是我们自己的危险,同样也是美国的危险;俄国人民保家卫国的事业就是全世界一切自由的人民和自由的民族的事业。
