人教版英语选修6课文原文及课文译文Unit1 Art第一单元艺术ReadingA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artistof this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they coule decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worke in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exsist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?西方绘画艺术简史西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。

英语选修六课文翻译第五单元英语选修六课文翻译第五单元readingAn exciting jobI have the greatest job in the world. travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world sometimes working outdoors sometimes in an office sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists I am never bored although my job is occasionally dangerous I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive However the most important thing about my job is that I heIp protect ordinary people from one of the most powerful forces on earth-the volcano.I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) twenty years ago My job is collecting information for a database about Mount KiLauea which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii Having collected and evaluated the information I help oyher scientists to predict where lava from the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses Unfortunately we cannot move their homes out of the way and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground.When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine. This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall. The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice.I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight.The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much closer look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed duing the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen. We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets,big boots and special gloves. It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started. Having studied volcanoes now for many years, I am still amazed their beauty as well as their potential to cause great damage.一份令人兴奋的工作我的工作是世界上最伟大的工作。

Caring for the earthAn Exciting Job my Job is the greatest Job in the world. Where I run is rare strange place, what I see is interesting people from all over the world, and sometimes the outdoor work, sometimes in the office, sometimes work with scientific instruments, sometimes want to meet with the local people and travel. But I never get bored.Although my work is occasionally dangerous, I don't care, because the danger inspires me and makes me feel alive. Most importantly, however, through my work I can protect people from one of the world's greatest natural powers, the threat of volcanoes.I am a volcanologist working at the Hawaii volcano observatory (HVO). My main task was to collect information about the kilauea volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. After gathering and assessing the information, I helped other scientists to predict where the next lava flow would flow and how fast it would flow. Our work has saved many lives, as the people can be notified of their leaving their homes as the lava flows through them. Unfortunately,it's impossible to move their homes away from the magma, so many houses are flooded or burned out.When boiling hot rocks from the volcanic eruption and back into the ground, it causes the loss is smaller than imagine, this is because the rock falling kilauea fire near the top of the mountain. The damage caused by the volcanic lava flows down the slopes is much greater, because the lava flows down and everything is buried under the lava. But the eruption itself was spectacular, and I'll never forget the first time I saw a volcano erupting. That was the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. I had a hard day's work that day andI went to bed early. I suddenly felt the bed shake when I was asleep, and then I heard a strange sound, as if a train had driven out of mywindow. I didn't care about the sound because I had experienced many earthquakes in Hawaii. I was just about to sleep again when suddenly my bedroom was as bright as day. I ran out of the room and into the back garden, where I could see kilauea from a distance. On the slopes, volcanoes erupt, red hot lava erupting like fountains, pouring hundreds of meters into the air. What a wonderful sight!On the second day of the eruption, I was lucky enough to make a close observation. I and two other sciences were sent to the top of the mountain to get off the top of the crater that formed during the eruption. Some special safety suits had been taken from the observation station earlier, so we put on our safety suits and approached the crater. The three of us looked like astronauts, and we all wore white protective suits over our bodies, helmets and special gloves, and a pair of big boots. It's not easy to wear these clothes on start, but we walked slowly to the edge of the crater and saw the red and red boiling center. In addition, they climbed down the crater to collect the magma for future research. I was the first to experience such a thing, so I stayed on top of the mountain to watch them.Today, I'm still as enthusiastic about my work as I was when I started work. Although I have been studying volcanism for more than20 years, I am still amazed by the magnificent view of the volcanoand its potential for great destructive power.The Lake of Heaven (tianchi) changbai mountain in northeast jilin province, this beautiful mountainous area is mostly dense forest area. Changbai mountain is the largest nature reserve in China, keeping its original state for the Chinese people and tourists from all over the world. The height of the ground varies from 700 to 2,000 meters above sea level. It is a growing area of many plants and animals. Rare animals have white cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. Many people go to changbai mountain to study the unique flora and fauna. Others go to the mountains to see the magnificent waterfalls, or take a bath in the pool. The most attractive place in the reserve, however, is the tianchi, or lake in the sky.Tianchi is a deep water lake formed by the crater of a dead volcano on the top of the mountain. The lake has a height of 2,194 meters and water depth of more than 200 meters. In winter, the lakeis frozen. It's about an hour from the end of the road to the top. When you get to the top of the mountain you will get a return - you can see not only the clear water of the sky, but also the 16 peaks surrounding the tianchi lake.。

I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world.我跑的地方是稀罕奇特的地方，和我一道工作的人来自世界各地。
Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored.（我们）有时在室外工作，有时在办公室里，有时工作要用科学仪器，有时要会见当地百姓和旅游人士。
但是我从来不感到工作烦人。
Although my job is occasionally dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive.虽然我的工作偶尔也有危险，但是我并不在乎，因为能激励我，使我感到有活力。
However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from one of the most powerful forces on earth - the volcano.然而，最重要的是，通过我的工作能保护普通百姓免遭火山的威胁——这是世界上最大的自然威力之一。
I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) twenty years ago.作为一名火山学家，我被派到夏威夷火山观测站（HVO）工作。
My job is collecting information for a database about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. 我的任务是收集有关基拉韦厄火山的数据资料，这是夏威夷最活跃的火山之一。
Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.收集和评估了这些信息之后，我就帮助其他科学家一起预测下次火山熔岩将往何处流去，流速多少。
Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses.我们的工作拯救了许多人的生命，因为熔岩要流经之地，老百姓都可以得到离开家园的通知。
Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way, and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground.遗憾的是，我们不可能把他们的家搬离岩浆流过的地方，因此，许多房屋被熔岩淹没，或者焚烧殆尽。
When boiling rock erupts from avolcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine.当滚烫的岩石从火山喷发出来并撞回地面时，它所造成的损失比想象的要小些，This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall.这是因为在岩石下落的基拉韦厄火山顶附近无人居住。
The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock.而顺着山坡下流的火山熔岩所造成的损失却大得多，这是因为火山岩浆所流经的地方，一切东西都被掩埋在熔岩下面了。
However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one.然而火山喷发本身的确是很壮观的，我永远也忘不了我第一次看见火山喷发时的情景。
