The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take agamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

然而,要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地。
我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。
我们营长决定冒一下险。

就拿破仑和希特勒而言，这是我第一次能够做任何事情。
以拿破仑和希特勒为例。
他们是不可战胜的，他们认为自己是不可战胜的，不可阻挡的。
但是俄罗斯冰雪卫士证明他们错了。
9冰雪卫士9尼拉·史密斯1 1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。
他为保卫祖国的俄罗斯人民的激烈抵抗做好了准备。
他准备好了穿越俄罗斯国土前往首都莫斯科的长征。
但是他没有为在莫斯科遇到的毁灭性的敌人做好准备——俄罗斯寒冷刺骨的冬天。
1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率领军队入侵俄国他准备好了，俄罗斯人民将勇敢战斗，保卫他们的祖国。
他准备长途跋涉穿越俄罗斯广袤的领土，进入首都莫斯科。
然而，他没有想到他会在莫斯科遇到他的劲敌——俄罗斯的寒冷和严冬。

希特勒的军事力量无与伦比。
他的战争机器已经扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗力量。
希特勒期待一场短暂的战役，但在1941年，纳粹德国国家元首阿道夫·希特勒袭击了当时被称为苏联的俄罗斯。

Although Browder and Mandl define（定义） their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident（意外） of birth. And not incidentally(偶然), both are Davos Men members of the international business élite（杰出人物） who trek（艰苦跋涉） each year to the Swiss Alpine（阿尔卑斯山） town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives（高管们）, politicians, academics(学者), journalists（新闻记者）, writers and a handful of（少数） Hollywood stars for five days of networking（交流）, parties and endless earnest（认真的） discussions about everything from postelection Iraq（选后伊拉克） and HIV in Africa（艾滋病在非洲） to the global supply（供给） of oil and the implications of nanotechnology（纳米技术的含义）. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization the unimpeded（畅通无阻的） flows of capital（资本流动）, labor（劳动力） and technology across national borders（边界） is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast（广阔的）, interconnected（连同的） marketplace（市场） in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.
全新版大学英语第二版综合教程_第四册_Unit 5 Never Judge by Appearances——A Friend in Need
Some people seem easy to understand: their character appears obvious on first meeting、Appearances, however, can be deceptive、--------------------------------------------------------------------------------有些人似乎容易了解:她们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。
然而,外表可能具有欺骗性。
A Friend in NeedSomerset Maugham1 For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen、I do not know very much about them、I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right、I think they must have small insight or great vanity、For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me、--------------------------------------------------------------------------------患难之交萨默塞特·毛姆三十年来,我一直研究我的人类同胞,但至今了解不多。

我想这种人不就是无知,就就是自大。
拿我自己来说,我发现,认识一个人的时间越长,我就越感到困惑。
2 These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe、He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years、I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise、Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action、It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type、Here if ever was a man all of a piece、He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes、I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him、He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station、--------------------------------------------------------------------------------我产生这些想法,就是因为我在今天早上的报纸上瞧到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。

但另一方面，也带来了危害，尤其是公路死亡事故。
然而，现今由于计算机技术和电子传感器的使用，有可能消除发生的大多数交通事故。
例如，装在你汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾汽并拒绝启动引擎。
同样，传感器还能通过接受在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号监测路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。
Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3常言道，好的开端是成功的一半。
在求职时，求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。
我认为，事先做不做准备显然会影响求职者的成功机会。
我的一位朋友在一家大型计算机软件公司供职，年薪十万美元左右，他根据自己的经历告诉我说，那些面试未来雇员的具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。
那些没有在了解未来雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功地希望。
Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 dollars a year in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of achance of success.Unit 4全球化对中国年轻人具有重大影响。
例如，年轻的农民正在大规模流向城市寻找工作。
而对那些想出国深造或进外企工作的年轻人来说，英语变得越来越重要。
另一方面，许多海外学子近年来回归祖国，因为他们看好中国经济的长期增长前景。
因特网加强了中国年轻人和其他地方年轻人的联系。
他们跟踪最新的潮流，模仿外国的时尚。
他们中一些人似乎不在乎中国的传统美德，更不要说发扬光大，这使得有人忧虑中国传统文化会不会有一天终将消失。
Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trends can copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem t o care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。
譬如，要是你仅凭外表去判断诸如爱德华海德伯顿这样的人，你就错了。
外表上，伯顿像是个表里一致的人。
他个子很小，满头白发，有着一双温和、蔚蓝的眼睛，文雅且坦率。
然而，他原来却是十分的残忍。
他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。
更让人吃惊的是，他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。
毫无疑问，他是个铁石心肠的家伙。
For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel he insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt,Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6当今我们处于持续的压力之下，要工作更长的时间，要生产更多，拥有更多。
许多人有一种错误的认识：幸福就在于拼命地干，使劲地赚。
许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要工作，要出人头地，而与此同时，又要养育子女，承担起家庭责任的负担。
研究表明，工作狂往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。
它会迫使我们长时间辛苦劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起、交流感情。
家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。
Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well /good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。
