1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing-- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

The boys soon learn that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is.BIG BUCKS THE EASY WAYJohn G. Hubbell "You ought to look into this," I suggested to our two college-age sons. "It might be a way to avoid the indignity of having to ask for money all the time." I handed them some magazines in a plastic bag someone bad hung on our doorknob. A message printed on the bag offered leisurely, lucrative work ("Big Bucks the Easy Way!") of delivering more such bags."I don't mind the indignity," the older one answered."I can live with it," his brother agreed."But it pains me," I said，"to find that you both have been panhandling so long that it no longer embarrasses you."The boys said they would look into the magazine-delivery thing. Pleased, I left town on a business trip. By midnight I was comfortably settled in a hotel room far from home. The phone rang. It was my wife. She wanted to know how my day had gone."Great!" I enthused. "How was your day?"I inquired."Super!" She snapped. "Just super! And it's only getting started. Another truck just pulled up out front.""Another truck?""The third one this evening. The first delivered four thousand Montgomery Wards. The second brought four thousand Sears, Roebucks. I don't know what this one has, but I'm sure it will be four thousand of something. Since you are responsible, I thought you might like to know what's happening.What I was being blamed for, it turned out, was a newspaper strike which made it necessary to hand-deliver the advertising inserts that normally are included with the Sunday paper. The company had promised our boys $600 for delivering these inserts to 4,000 houses by Sunday morning."Piece of cake!" our older college son had shouted." Six hundred bucks!" His brother had echoed, "And we can do the job in two hours!""Both the Sears and Ward ads are four newspaper-size pages," my wife informed me. "There are thirty-two thousand pages of advertising on our porch. Even as we speak, two big guys are carrying armloads of paper up the walk. What do we do about all this?""Just tell the boys to get busy," I instructed. "They're college men. They'll do what they have to do."At noon the following day I returned to the hotel and found an urgent message to telephonemy wife. Her voice was unnaturally high and quavering. There had been several more truckloads of ad inserts. "They're for department stores, dime stores, drugstores, grocery stores, auto stores and so on. Some are whole magazine sections. We have hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of pages of advertising here! They are crammed wall-to-wall all through the house in stacks taller than your oldest son. There's only enough room for people to walk in, take one each of the eleven inserts, roll them together, slip a rubber band around them and slide them into a plastic bag. We have enough plastic bags to supply every takeout restaurant in America!" Her voice kept rising, as if working its way out of the range of the human ear. "All this must be delivered by seven o'clock Sunday morning.""Well, you had better get those guys banding and sliding as fast as they can, and I'll talk to you later. Got a lunch date.When I returned, there was another urgentcall from my wife."Did you have a nice lunch?" she asked sweetly. I had had a marvelous steak, but knew better by now than to say so."Awful," I reported. "Some sort of sour fish. Eel, I think.""Good. Your college sons have hired their younger brothers and sisters and a couple of neighborhood children to help for five dollars each. Assembly lines have been set up. In the language of diplomacy, there is 'movement.'""That's encouraging.""No, it's not," she corrected. "It's very discouraging. They're been as it for hours. Plastic bags have been filled and piled to the ceiling, but all this hasn't made a dent, not a dent, in the situation! It's almost as if the inserts keep reproducing themselves!""Another thing," she continued. "Your college sons must learn that one does not get the best out of employees by threatening them with bodily harm.Obtaining an audience with son NO. 1, I snarled, "I'll kill you if threaten one of those kids again! Idiot! You should be offering a bonus of a dollar every hour to the worker who fills the most bags."But that would cut into our profit," he suggested."There won't be any profit unless those kids enable you to make all the deliveries on time. If they don't, you two will have to remove all that paper by yourselves. And there will be no eating or sleeping until it is removed."There was a short, thoughtful silence. Then he said, "Dad, you have just worked a profound change in my personality.""Do it!""Yes, sir!"By the following evening, there was much for my wife to report. The bonus program had worked until someone demanded to see the color of cash. Then some activist on the work force claimed that the workers had no businesssettling for $5 and a few competitive bonuses while the bossed collected hundreds of dollars each. The organizer had declared that all the workers were entitled to $5 per hour! They would not work another minute until the bosses agreed.The strike lasted less than two hours. In mediation, the parties agreed on $2 per hour. Gradually, the huge stacks began to shrink.As it turned out, the job was completed three hours before Sunday's 7 a.m. deadline. By the time I arrived home, the boys had already settled their accounts: $150 in labor costs, $40 for gasoline, and a like amountfor gifts—boxes of candy for saintly neighbors who had volunteered station wagons and help in delivery and dozen roses for their mother. This left them with $185 each — about two-thirds the minimum wage for the 91 hours they worked. Still, it was "enough", as one of them put it, to enable them to "avoid indignity" for quite a while.All went well for some weeks. Then one Saturday morning my attention was drawn to the odd goings-on of our two youngest sons. They kept carrying carton after carton from various corners of the house out the front door to curbside. I assumed their mother had enlisted them to remove junk for a trash pickup. Then I overheard them discussing finances."Geez, we're going to make a lot of money!""We're going to be rich!"Investigation revealed that they were offering " for sale or rent" our entire library."No! No!" I cried. "You can't sell our books!""Geez, Dad, we thought you were done with them!""You're never 'done' with books," I tried to explain."Sure you are. You read them, and you're done with them. That's it. Then you might as well make a little money from them. We wantedto avoid the indignity of having to ask you for……"一个大学男孩，不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动，被一份许诺轻松赚大钱的广告吸引了。

新视野大学英语课文翻译第三册Unit 1威廉斯勋爵代价昂贵的贵族梦苏格兰托明陶尔——周六晚，在"牢骚酒吧"，村民依旧乐意向"威廉斯勋爵"祝酒，尽管这个头衔现在只能引来阵阵笑声。
如今他们就叫他"托尼"。
这个美丽的山村座落在苏格兰山区，总共只有320人，其中一些村民说，他们一直不太了解安东尼·威廉斯。
这位有钱的贵族说话和气，1986年和他穿着入时的妻子一同来到这里。
还有一些人说，他们的怀疑是与日俱增的，因为55岁的威廉斯先生总是西装革履地在周末出现，他买下了一笔又一笔的地产，给小村投入大量现金，独自一人使这个小村庄起死回生。
可是谁也没有料到这个事实：这个财源滚滚、举止友好的人并非什么勋爵，而是一名政府公务员。
他幻想自己是位苏格兰贵族，并从苏格兰场（即伦敦警察总署）盗用钱财来买这个贵族头衔。
威廉斯先生自1959年起效力于伦敦警署，官至财务部副主管，年薪65,000英镑。
大约两周前，后悔不已的他在法庭受审，被判监禁7年半。
据估计他在该村投入了近500万英镑的赃款，提供了43个就业机会。
如今他落难入狱，至少仍有部分村民支持他。
"我觉得这个人非常可爱，非常友好，非常体贴，一点也不傲慢。
" 70岁的乔吉·麦卡利斯特这样说。
他是当地博物馆馆长，家里人世代都在周围山上种地。
" 很难理解一个像他这样聪明的人会那样误导别人。
真是糟糕。
当然，这对我们村倒不坏，许多房产都修缮得很漂亮。
"距广场几家之遥，理发师唐纳德·科尔坐在自己的店里讲述人们是如何开始怀疑的。
" 每个人都猜疑钱是从哪来的，为什么他要把钱花在山沟里的一个小地方？老天，他就是等100年也收不回这些钱。
"依据法庭调查，威廉斯八年中共窃取了800多万英镑。
其中大部分钱来自一项由他单独管辖的秘密基金。
该基金本应用来支付间谍费用，以及开展对抗爱尔兰共和军的秘密活动。

Unit 1Active reading 1抓螃蟹大学最后一年的秋天，我们的心情变了。
刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不见了踪影，我们开始埋头学习，苦读到深夜，课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。
我们都觉得在校时间不多了，以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了，所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。
当然，下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。
我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一，那也太丢人了，因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。
以前每天下午五点以后，图书馆就空无一人了，现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座，小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋，他们脸色苍白，睡眼惺忪，却很自豪，好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。
还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。
每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么样的工作。
并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么，常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几个阶段的人生做好了规划。
有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的广告公司得到了一份工作，另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞草签了合约。
我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个政党活动家，我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。
但大多数同学不是准备继续深造，就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领，希望在20 出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水，过上舒适的生活，然后就娶妻生子，贷款买房，期望升职，过安稳日子。
感恩节的时候我回了一趟家，兄弟姐妹们免不了不停地问我毕业后有什么打算，我不知道该说什么。
实际上，我知道该说什么，但我怕他们批评我，所以只对他们说了别人都准备干什么。
父亲看着我，什么也没说。
夜深时，他叫我去他的书房。
我们坐了下来，他给我们俩各倒了杯饮料。
“怎么样？”他问。
“啊，什么怎么样？”“你毕业后到底想做什么？”他问道。
父亲是一名律师，我一直都认为他想让我去法学院深造，追随他的人生足迹，所以我有点儿犹豫。
过了会儿我回答说：“我想旅行，我想当个作家。

大学英语3课文及翻译篇1The Expensive Fantasy of Lord WilliamsTomintoul, Scotland —On Saturday night at The Grouse's Nest, they're still willing to raise a glass or two to “Lord Williams” though now his title prompts laughter. And now they just call him “Tony”.There are those in this beautiful village in the mountains of Scotland (population, 320) who say they were never quite sureabout Anthony Williams, the soft-spoken, wealthy noble who arrived in 1986 with his well-dressed wife.And there are others who say their suspicions were aroused over time, as the 55-year-old Mr. Williams, who appeared onweekends turned out in fine suits, bought up property after property, providing such a large injection of cash into the villagethat he single-handedly brought the community back to life.But no one could have possibly guessed the truth — that the man with endless money and a friendly manner was not a lordat all but a government employee living out a fantasy that he was a Scottish noble and paying for it by stealing funds fromScotland Yard.About two weeks ago, a regretful Mr. Williams, who had worked for the London police since 1959 and had risen to a ￡65,000 a year position as deputy director of finance, was brought into court and sentenced to seven and a half yearsinprison.Estimates are that he poured nearly ￡5 million of the stolen money into the village and gave jobs to 43 people. And nowthat he has fallen upon dark days at least some villagers are sticking by him.“I found him a very charming man, very friendly, considerate —not at all proud,” said Georgie McAllister, 70, themanager of the local museum whose family has been farming the surrounding hills for generations. “It's hard to understandhow a clever person like him could mislead people like that. It's sad. Of course, it did benefit the village. A lot of the propertieswere beautifully restored.”A few doors down the square, barber Donald Corr sat inside his shop and described how suspicions began to grow. “Everyonewondered where the money was coming from. Why was he spending it in a little place in the mountains? Christ, he wouldn'thave gotten it back in 100 yea rs.”According to the court, Mr. Williams stole more than ￡8 million over eight years. Most of it came from a secret fund thathad been placed under his sole authority and that was supposed to be used to pay spies and conduct secret activities againstthe Irish Republican Army.Instead, it went to create one more British lord.Mr. Williams bought an estate with a fine brick house in England. He bought a beautiful home with white walls and a poolin Spain. He bought noble titles at auctions, spending ￡95,000 to become the Lord of Chirnside, and then adding on 10 moreScottish titles.But most of all, he sunk his dishonest gains into this village that captured his heart with its fine stone cottages, its centralareaof green grass, green rows of hedges, and its fantastic view of rolling fields and pine forests disappearing into the distancelike the men of an ancient army marching over the horizon.He bought multiple cottages and fixed them up. He purchased the pub and made it into a fine place to have a glass ofGlenlivet Scotch whiskey, produced only 10 miles (16 kilometers) to the north. And most of all, he bought the run-downGordon Arms Hotel and totally restored it, transforming it from a mess into a glorious first-class hotel with 30 handsomelyfurnished rooms, wood-paneled stairs, false bookshelves with fake leather books and an outstanding restaurant.“I would offer him three choices of glasses for the restaurant: an average one, a poor one, and fine crystal. Always, he chosethe crystal. Nothing but the best,” said David Abdy, who was chosen by Mr. Williams to manage the construction work andrun the businesses.Mr. Williams deceived everyone, including Mr. Abdy and including even his own wife, telling them that he inherited themoney from a rich uncle. He was caught because his bank deposits were so large that they were noticed by the bank'smanagement. The bank notified the police, who discovered, to their terrible embarrassment, that the criminal was one oftheir own.The London police commissioner publicly apologized for poorly supervising his department. Under a hastily madearrangement, the police will sell the properties, but at a substantial financial loss. Mr. Abdy, a 27-year-old businessman,acquired the bulk of the properties for about half a million pounds, obtaining bank loans and striking deals withvarious peopleto pay only a part of what they are owed by Mr. Williams.In the only interview he has given since his arrest a year ago, Mr. Williams discussed his motives for the crime with aLondon newspaper: “I discovered this bloody huge amount of money. I went from the need to pay off a few debts to what canonly be described as greed. There is no way to justify it.”翻译我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产，因为缺氧导致大脑受损。

通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。
可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。
我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。
当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。
我这才意识到公文包没在身上。
我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。
自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。
我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。
起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。
轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。
那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。
这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。
代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。
尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。
我兄弟的航班到了。
我们取了他的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。
回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了他。
到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。
当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。
原以为已丢失的公文包其实根本就没有被带进机场！它一直躺在后座的地上。
我意识到，此时此刻航空公司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐一检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。
一想到要打电话告诉他们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。
我们进屋时电话铃正响着。
接电话时，我惊呆了。
电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我们有好消息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应该到这里。

这样，我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录。
但当时最令人震惊的，是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据。
我讲话的口音“表明我受过良好教养”，到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲，有可靠的证人，还有，我显然请得起一名很好的律师。
从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看，我肯定，如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里，并且真的是失了业的话，我完全可能被判有罪。

她只能张大眼睛看我，向我微笑。
可她那微笑里充满了光芒！它穿透了由破烂的木地板、旧躺椅和结满蜘蛛网的窗户围起来的黑暗空间。

我坐在她的身旁，慢慢开始理解了。
“我想我们都不免有失败的时候，”妈平静地说。
我可以感觉到她的痛苦，也感觉到她在极方抑制着由于我闯进来而被打断的强烈情感的发泄。
突然，我心里一酸，伸开双臂，把妈搂在怀里。
妈再也控制不住了。
她把脸贴着我的肩膀，抽泣着。
我紧紧抱着她，没有说话。
我明白我是在做我应该做的和我所能做的，这就够了。
妈非常激动，我感到她的背在颤抖。

我感觉到她的痛苦，就像我千百次在她怀里寻求安慰时，她感到我的痛苦一样。

“不，我是说，要是这事终将给你带来烦恼的话，你就不必呆在这里。

我想，或许他有，点儿神志不清了。
11点钟，照规定给他服药后，我便出去了一会儿。
那是个晴朗而又寒冷的日子，地上覆盖着一层已结成冰的冻雨，就像那光秃秃的树木，那灌木丛，那砍下的树枝，以及所有的草坪和空地都用冰漆过似的。
我带着我那条幼小的爱尔兰猎犬，沿着大路和一条冰冻的小溪散步。
但在这玻璃般平滑的地面上站立和行走是很因难的。
红毛狗一路上连跌带滑，我自己也摔倒了两次，都是挺重的。
一次猎枪也摔丢了，在冰上滑出去老远。
高高的土堤上长着倒垂下来的灌木丛，我们从那下面撵起了一群鹌鹑。
当它们快要从堤岸上消失时，我击落了两只。
有几只鹌鹑停落在树上，但大部分飞散了，钻进了灌木丛。
你得在这些被冰裹着
的树丛上跳上好几下，才能把它们惊起。
当你在这些既滑又有弹性的树丛上摇摇晃晃尚未立稳之际，它们却飞了出来，使你很难射中。
我击落了2只，却被逃掉了5只。
动身返回时，我感到很高兴，因为我在离家不远的地方发现了一群鹌鹑，而且还剩下许多，改日可再去搜寻猎取。
回到屋里，他们说孩子不让任何人进入他的房间。
“你们不能进来，”他说。
“你们千万不要传染上我的病。
”
我来到他身边，发现他仍像我离开时那样躺着。
他面色苍白，但两颊上部烧得发红，眼睛依旧一动不动地盯着床的另一端。
我量了他的体温。
“多少？”
“大约100，”我说。
实际上是102度4分。
“原先是102度，”他说。
“谁说的？”
“医生。
”
“你的体温没啥问题，”我说，“用不着担心。
”
“我不担心，”他说，“但是我不能不想。
”
“不要想，”我说。
“放心好了。
”
“我没有什么不放心的，”他说着，眼睛直盯着前方。
显然，他有什么心事，但在尽力控制着自己“将这个用水吞下。
”
“你看这有用吗？”“当然有用。

现在你就来尽可能生动地按你所希望的那样想象一下你自己吧。
记住将你想达到的回标想象成似乎你已达到了。
仔细琢磨一番这一图象的全部细节。
每一个细节都要看得清楚、明晰。
将这些细节深深地刻印在你的记忆里。
这样生成的记忆痕，据信会影响你的日常生活。
它们将帮助把你引向你要达到的目标。
当然，白日做梦绝不能代替艰苦的努力。
如果你要在运动上有所成就，你还得进行大量的练习。
你得努力提高技术。
如果你要学业优异，你绝不能忽视学习。
单是白日做梦不能使你功成名就，如愿以偿。
但与较为通常的自我提高的方法结合起来9它就有可能起关键性的作用。
是仅仅干得好一些，还是成为冠军，其差别往往在此一举。
Unit 9
尽管作了最大努力，沙克特只能召集到60名合唱歌手。
骨瘦如柴的他们聚集在小小的舞台上，艾希曼身着纳粹的全副戎装坐在前排。
犹太人的目光直逼纳粹们，他们越唱越激昂：愤怒之日到来之际必将这世界化为灰烬……审判来到之时颤栗吧……有仇必报。
演出结束，没有任何掌声。
纳粹们默默地起身离座。
艾希曼临走时，有人听到他得意地笑着说：“他们在给自己唱挽歌呢。
”他永远也不会知道犹太人是在给他唱挽歌呢。
Unit 10
可是到后来，人类只用了五十八年的时间就把这一纪录提高了三倍。
在1938年，人们乘坐飞机旅行时，其实苏已经超过了四百英里。
然后，有仅仅只用了二十年的时间弹指一挥的时间，这个时速又再次翻了一番。
到了二十世纪六十年代，火箭的速度已经接近每小时四千英里了，而人类乘坐宇宙飞船绕地球飞行，其时速达到了每小时一万八千英里。
无论我们考察旅行的距离，能达到的高度，还是考察矿产的开采，我们都可以发现这种加速的趋势。
无论是本文，还是其它系列统计资料都明确无误地呈现出这种加速模式。
几千年过去了，现在，在我们这个时代，突然，以往所有的极限完全彻底的被打破了，技术上出现了令人难以置信的大飞跃。
