全新版大学英语第二版第二册Unit2课文译文及参考答案

一个疑惑不解的小孩提的一个问题促使卡尔·格林思考:虽然他没有贵重的财物,但他在其他许多方面却是富有的。
富足的一生卡尔·格林首次面对这个问题,是在2003年12月初,我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。
当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外,对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。
一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。
她在钱包里摸着找钱时,孩子抬头看了我一眼,问我:“你穷吗?”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇,时至今日仍历历在目。
“嗯,”我结结巴巴,边想边回答,“我比有些人拥有的多,但比其他人拥有的少。
”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题,训斥了他一顿,他俩便匆匆地赶去购物。
但是孩子的问题却一直在我的心头挥之不去。
我从不认为自己“穷”,但有些事我不可否认。
每当我填1040税务申报表时,我都属于收入最低的档次之一。
在过去的三十五年中,我只出去度过一次假。
我的电视机是黑白的,还是八年前别人送给我的。
然而,想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西,对我来说,只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。
我的汽车是1999年的产品,到现在开了十万五千英里,已经很破很旧了,但是它依然可靠。
我的住房不大,但是很安静,住着挺舒心。
我的衣服很适合于我的工作,主要都在户外。
我对计算机的很少的需求,可以在图书馆得到解决。
尽管有些东西我没有,我并不感到贫穷。
这是为什么?五十三年来我一直非常健康。
我不但不生病,而且精力充沛,情绪饱满。
锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事,我乐意长距离步行,越走越有劲。
我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。
我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。
当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时,我内心感到很富有。

Though how the English language came into existenceremains a mystery to many people,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language.English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of theirlanguage.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5)in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) hadcontributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

一个疑惑不解的小孩提的一个问题促使卡尔·格林思考:虽然他没有贵重的财物,但他在其他许多方面却是富有的。
富足的一生卡尔·格林首次面对这个问题,是在2003年12月初,我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。
当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外,对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。
一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。
她在钱包里摸着找钱时,孩子抬头看了我一眼,问我:“你穷吗?”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇,时至今日仍历历在目。
“嗯,”我结结巴巴,边想边回答,“我比有些人拥有的多,但比其他人拥有的少。
”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题,训斥了他一顿,他俩便匆匆地赶去购物。
但是孩子的问题却一直在我的心头挥之不去。
我从不认为自己“穷”,但有些事我不可否认。
每当我填1040税务申报表时,我都属于收入最低的档次之一。
在过去的三十五年中,我只出去度过一次假。
我的电视机是黑白的,还是八年前别人送给我的。
然而,想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西,对我来说,只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。
我的汽车是1999年的产品,到现在开了十万五千英里,已经很破很旧了,但是它依然可靠。
我的住房不大,但是很安静,住着挺舒心。
我的衣服很适合于我的工作,主要都在户外。
我对计算机的很少的需求,可以在图书馆得到解决。
尽管有些东西我没有,我并不感到贫穷。
这是为什么?五十三年来我一直非常健康。
我不但不生病,而且精力充沛,情绪饱满。
锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事,我乐意长距离步行,越走越有劲。
我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。
我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。
当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时,我内心感到很富有。
通过写作而获得的洞察力,不断地令我惊奇。
而与那么多写作朋友交谈,是我乐趣的主要源泉之一。
但是在我生活中,有一个重要方面我并不那么富有。
在一个对物资财富的追求投入如此之多心力的社会中,我觉得很不自在。

2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.
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。
两种不同的学习方式
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。为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以 (也应该)示范给他看。
3) The city’s importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.
4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.
5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.
创造力第一?
从对创造力的态度来说,优先次序似乎是颠倒了:西方的年轻人先是大胆创新,然后逐渐深谙传统;而中国的年轻人则几乎离不开传统,但是,随着时间的推移,他们同样可能发展到具有创新的境界。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.
