UNIT2同感是怎样表露的1霍普才九个月大，一见到另一个婴儿摔倒，泪水就涌了出来。
她爬到妈妈身边寻求安慰，就好像是她自己摔疼了。
15个月大的迈克尔去把自己的玩具熊拿来给正在大哭的朋友保罗；保罗不停地大哭的时候，迈克尔替保罗捡回他的安乐毯。
这些小小的表示同情和关爱的举动都是接受过记录同感行为训练的母亲们观察到的。
这项研究的结果表明，同感的根源可以追溯到人的婴儿期。
实际上，从出生的那天起，婴儿在听到其他婴儿哭闹的时候就会感到不安——有些人认为这种反应是同感的最初先兆。
２成长心理学家发现，甚至在充分意识到自己是独立于其他人而存在之前，婴儿就感受到了同情的苦恼。
甚至在出生后几个月，婴儿就会对周围人的烦躁不安做出反应，就好像他们自己的烦躁不安一样，看到别的孩子哭也跟着哭。
到了一岁左右，他们开始意识到痛苦不是他们的，而是别人的，可是他们对这样的事情似乎还是感到不知所措。
例如，在纽约大学的马丁·L.霍夫曼所做的一项研究中，一个一岁的孩子把自己的妈妈拉过来安慰哭闹的朋友，却忽视了同在一室的朋友的妈妈。
这样的困惑在其他一岁大的孩子身上也能看到，他们模仿别的孩子的痛苦，也许是为了更好地理解他们的感受。
例如，如果别的婴儿伤了手指，一个一岁大的孩子就会把自己的手指放进嘴里，看看自己是否也感觉到痛。
看到自己的妈妈哭，婴儿即使没有眼泪，也会擦拭自己的眼睛。
３这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始字面含义，而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.铁钦纳首次使用。
铁钦纳的理论是：同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿；这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。
他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的，无须分担他人的任何感受。
４小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。
下面是摘自一位母亲日记里的典型事例：５邻居家的婴儿哭了，珍妮走上前去，试图给他一些小甜饼。

BOOK 2 课文翻译Unit 1Text等候的人们我坐在一个机场，观察着等候所爱之人到达或离开前最后一刻的人们。
他们有的不安地来回走着，有的互相凝视着，有的拉着对方的手。
此时的感情是强烈的。
一位讲西班牙语的女士正来回转圈地跑着，想要将全家人集中起来道别。
她的嗓门很高。
当登机前的最后时刻到来时，她用双臂搂着儿子，似乎这一紧紧的拥抱能保佑他将来平安地归来。
在我候机坐位旁的栏杆边站着一位祖母和她的孙子，该来接他们的人还没到。
他们旁边有两位女士，互相之间显然没有关系，但她们的眼光都象扫视着大海的探照灯一样朝通道口仔细地搜索着。
一位怀抱婴儿的母亲正与丈夫吻别。
泪水打湿了她的面颊。
这时刻十分令人动情。
在第13号出口处，抵达者们刚刚进站。
“我看见她了，她在那儿。
”以同样感人的激情，这些抵达者融入了庞杂的人群，仿佛他们是这人群中失而复得的一个组成部分。
泪水、笑容，和由衷的快乐洋溢在久别重逢的欢声笑语中。
我坐着边翻书边等着我的登机时刻，感到有点孤独，因为亲人与我的时间不配；而我要去见的人，我的女儿，却在我旅程的另一端。
我在回想往日的离别和重逢。
忆起我看见女儿，就是我现在要去见的女儿，正从那狭窄的通道走过来，肩上背着背包，怀里抱着塞得满满的行囊，带着的耳机让她无暇顾及身旁川流不息的人群。
她当时上大学一年级，11月回家度假——8月份以来第一次回家。
我紧紧地拥抱着她，似乎我曾失去过她。
今天我乘坐的航班晚点两小时。
手里的书今天读起来没劲，不如观看眼前这熙来人往的人群。
一个5岁左右的男孩第一次见到他的祖父。
他一点点往上看，半天才看到了对成人来说并不算高的一位男人的脸。
一高一矮的两人脸上都放出了喜悦的光芒，我不知道人们如何能用语言和胶卷来捕捉这一时刻。
当我的航班终于呼叫登机时，我收起书本和行李。
既然无人相送，我就没有回头看看来时的方向，而是在想上班的丈夫此刻极想知道我是否已起飞，在另一端的女儿也正惦记着同一件事。
登机时，我回想起另一种离别和重逢。

全新版大学英语综合教程（第二版）第2册课文翻译Unit 1 Text A哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。
Learning, Chinese-Style1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

新标准大学英语综合教程2课文翻译My dream comes true梦想成真1 The rain had started to fall gently through the evening air as darkness descended over Sydney. Hundreds of lights illuminated Stadium Australia, and the noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalisingly in the distance.当夜幕降临悉尼时，雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。
几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明，场内的声音震耳欲聋。
走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸，但我的注意力还是很集中。
再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。
2 My heart was beating loudly, my mouth was dry and the adrenaline was pumping. I was so close to the realisation of my childhood dream and the feeling was fantastic; it was completely exhilarating, but also terrifying. I knew I would have to push myself beyond my known limits to ensure that my dream came true.我的心在剧烈地跳动，口干舌燥，肾上腺素猛增。

综合英语2课文翻译Integration is the process of combining different elements into a unified whole. In the context of a country, integration refers to the process of unifying different groups or communities within the society. This can be achieved through various means, such as promoting cultural exchange, providing equal opportunities for all citizens, and ensuring social cohesion.Cultural exchange is an important aspect of integration. It involves the sharing of cultural practices, beliefs, values, and traditions between different communities. Through cultural exchange, individuals have the opportunity to learn about and appreciate different cultures, which promotes mutual understanding and respect. This helps to break down barriers between different groups and fosters a sense of unity within the society.Equal opportunity is another key factor in promoting integration. It means that all citizens, regardless of their background, should have equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other resources. By providing equal opportunities, a country can ensure that all individuals are able to fully participate and contribute to society. This helps to create a level playing field and reduce inequalities, which in turn promotes social inclusion and integration.Social cohesion is also crucial for integration. It refers to the sense of belonging and solidarity within a society. Social cohesion can be achieved through various means, such as fostering a sense of shared identity, promoting community engagement, and encouraging dialogue and cooperation between different groups.When individuals feel a sense of belonging and connection to their society, they are more likely to contribute to its well-being and participate in its activities. This helps to strengthen the social fabric and promote integration.In conclusion, integration is a process that involves combining different elements into a unified whole. In the context of a country, integration refers to the process of unifying different groups or communities within the society. This can be achieved through promoting cultural exchange, providing equal opportunities, and ensuring social cohesion. By actively fostering integration, a country can promote harmony, inclusivity, and social progress.。
