新视野大学英语2课文翻译「Unit8」

新视野大学英语2课文翻译「Unit8」新视野2是由国家级名师上海交通大学郑树棠教授担任总筹划和教材总主编而成的教育部普通高等教育“十五”国家级规划教材。

下面是第八单元的课文翻译，欢送阅读!人们常常说：对于青春来说，最令人悲伤的事情莫过于青春在年轻时被浪费掉了。

在读一份对大学一年级新生作的调查报告时，我又想起了这种惋惜之情：“要是当初我就懂得了现在我领悟到的东西该有多好!”这份调查报告印证了我以前根据在梅肯和罗宾斯住宿中心对学生进展的非正式民意调查所作的推断：学生们认为如果某种东西(不管它是何物)没有实际意义，不能把它当酒喝、当烟抽、当钱花，那么“它”就根本毫无价值。

基于对188，000多名学生答卷的调查说明，当今的大学新生比这项民意测验开始17年以来的任何时候的大学新生都“更主张消费主义，同时也少了些理想主义”。

在这个经济不景气的时代，学生们的主要目标是追求“经济上的富裕”。

与过去任何时候相比，树立有意义的人生哲学已不那么重要了。

这一情况并不让人感到惊奇。

因此，如今最受欢送的课程不是文学或历史，而是会计学。

如今人们对当教师、社会效劳和人文学科、还有种族和妇女研究的兴趣都处于低潮。

而另一方面，攻读商科、工程学及计算机科学的学生人数却在迅速增加。

还有一件事也不令人意外。

我的一个朋友(一个化工公司的销售代理)在干这份工作的第一年所挣的钱就已是大学教师薪水的两倍了──这甚至还是在她修完两年制的准学士学位课程之前的事。

她喜欢说这样一句话：“我会对他们讲，他们学习音乐、历史、文学等等有什么用!”那还是四年以前呢，我都不敢想象她现在赚多少钱。

坦率地说，我为这位小姐感到骄傲(不是为她的态度，而是为她的成功)。

但是我们为什么不能两全其美呢?我们就不能教会人们既懂得谋生，又懂得人生么?我相信我们能够做到。

如果我们做不到这一点，那就是对我们从幼儿园、小学、中学直到大学的整个教育制度的否认。

在一个日益专业化的时代，我们比过去任何时候都更需要了解什么是生活中真正重要的东西。

新视野大学英语2unit8texta课文翻译

动物还是孩子——一位科学家的选择1 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involved in animal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself as an evil person. I became a children's doctor because of my love for children and my supreme desire to keep them healthy. During medical school and residency, I saw many children die of cancer and bloodshed from injury —circumstances against which medicine has made great progress but still has a long way to go. More importantly, I also saw children healthy thanks to advances in medical science such as infant breathing support, powerful new medicines and surgical techniques and the entire field of organ transplantation. My desire to tip the scales in favor of healthy, happy children drew me to medical research.1 我就是那个敌人！我就是那些被人诅咒的、残忍的、搞动物实验的医生科学家之一。

新视野大学英语读写教程第二册（第二版）Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 2 第二单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhen I think back about the many people who have influenced me during my life, I often think of one person who showed his passion through his commitment to my success. I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 3 第三单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesGail and Mark were from different cultural and racial background. They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be ma rrying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark was marrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable. After all, marriage across nations may have its problem of one kind or another.1. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be marrying for the wrong reason.2. Mark wanted to marry Gail so that he could remain in the United States.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 4 第四单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wrote a story about love, and I hope you like it. The story is about a young soldier who is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with. I suppose it’s a lot like my other stories in that it has a happy ending. Y ou might laugh at me for writing stories that are so sweet. But, you see, I am a deep believer in love, and I am hopeful about everyone finding it. Without love, I really don’t know what the purpose of living would be.4. He is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with.5. A happy ending.6. (Open-ended.)Unit 5第五单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesToday, I want to talk about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to red uce their access to tobacco products, andto restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2. To reduce children’s access to tobacco pr oducts, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to your people.3. ( Open-ended)自由作答，陈述各自的观点.Unit 6 第六单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesPre-reading ActivitiesThere are various reasons for our final decision on what name to give to a baby. For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follow s the child throughout his or her life.How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them? Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when the child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’wishes for their child.2. Three. Get opinions of people around.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 7 第七单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesStress can kill you. Being tense can damage your heart, so it is wise to take charge of your life and realize you cannot control everything. But you can control stress which is caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, and lack of control. Anger may also be the root of this stress, especially for hard-working professional women and people with no goals in life. To relax and take control of your life, try the NICE factors: new, interesting, challenging experiences. And follow Ben Franklin’s example by writing down the major goals you want to achieve in your life. For the problems over which you have no control, you have to learn to go with the flow.1.Stress can be caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, lack of control, and anger..2. The NICE factors are new, interesting, challenging experiences.3. (open-ended.)Unit 8 第八单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhat is life about? We work hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much. We then will realize how much we have missed in life! Work definitely is not the whole of life. Work is meant to keep us living so that we enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the aim of human existence. So, live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!1.Our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.2. Happiness.3. (open-ended.)Unit 9 第九单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wasn’t the brightest kid in my graduating class. I didn’t even attend a famous school. What I did have, though, was a supportive family, and with their help, I was able to become one of the top lawyers in the state of Floridaand then a Florida State Supreme Court Justice. And you know what? It wasn’t as hard as you may think. It started with a clear set of rules: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before and never give up. When I was younger, I didn’t always remember the rules myself, so my father had to remind me. After a while, though, the rules became habit and everything else sort of fell into place.1. He owed his success to his supportive family.2. The rules were: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before, and never give up.3.
