综合英语(二)上册课文翻译及详解Lesson OneTwelve Things l Wish They Taught at SchoolCarl SaganLearning Guide俗话说：“活到老，学到老。
”人的一生就是不断学习、不断丰富和充实自己的过程。
青少年阶段，尤其是中学阶段，无疑是学习的最佳时期。
中学教育的重点应放在什么地方？美国著名科学家和科普作家萨根批评中学只抓各个学科具体内容的做法，他认为中学要注重对青少年的宏观教育，使他们建立起唯物的世界观和宇宙观，使他们能够正确对待自己，关心周围的世界——人类生存的环境和自己的地球同胞。
1 I attended junior and senior high school, public institutions in New York and New Jersey, just after the Second World War. It seems a long time ago. ①The facilities and the skills of the teachers were probably well above average for the United States at that time.Since then, I've learned a great deal. One of the most important things I've learned is how much there is to learn, ②and how much I don't yet know.③Sometimes I think how grateful I would be today if I had learned moreback then about what really matters. In some respects that education was terribly narrow; the only thing I ever heard in school about Napoleon was that the United States made the Louisiana Purchase from him. ④(On a planet where some 95% of the inhabitants are not Americans, the only history that was thought worth teaching was American history. ) In spelling, grammar, the fundamenta ls of math, and other vital subjects, my teachers did a pretty good job. But there's so much else I wish they'd taught us.①The facilities and skills of the teachers were probably well above average for the United States at that time.学校的设施、教师的水平在当时的美国大大高于一般的水平。

12-A. Let Your Mind WanderA让头脑畅想Until recently daydreaming was generally considered either a waste of time or a symptom of neurotic tendencies, and habitual daydreaming was regarded as evidence of maladjustment or an escape from life’s realities and responsibilities. It was believed that habitual daydreaming would eventually distance people from society and reduce their effectiveness in coping with real problems. At its best, daydreaming was considered a compensatory substitute for the real things in life.直到最近人们还认为白日梦要么是时间的浪费，要么是神经病发病的征兆，习惯性白日梦被人们认为是不适应环境的表现，或者是对生活现实和责任的一种逃避。
人们相信习惯性的做白日梦最终会拉开人与社会的距离，降低人们处理实际问题的能力。
最好来讲。
白日梦被认为是人们生活中真实事物的有补偿功能的替代。
As with anything carried to excess, daydreaming can be harmful. There are always those who would substitute fantasy lives for the rewards of real activity. But such extremes are relatively rare, and there is a growing body of evidence to support the fact that most people suffer from a lack of daydreaming rather than an excess of it. We are now beginning to learn how valuable it really is and that when individuals are completely prevented from daydreaming, their emotional balance can be disturbed. Not only are they less able to deal with the pressures of day-to-day existence, but also their self-control and self-direction become endangered.任何事情做得过分都可能有害，做白日梦也是一样。

Text LearningFeeling Free①I woke up feeling cranky. I didn't want to do housework, though the laundry was piling up. I didn't want to read the work I brought home from the office. I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.（承上总结句）②As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. （承上启下句）Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it? I absolutely should be in bed.③I shuffled back to bed, wiggled under the covers and shut my eyes.(1)Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake.

I opened the book and settled against the pillows.⑤The morning was moving along and so was my reading. Another twenty pages and I was stretching. I should try to crack（找到解决办法）the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn't want to spread any germs. The wash could wait. (2)My family was resourceful enough toscrounge clothing for the next day.⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. (4)Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.本部分重点及难点：2.

Admit it. Accept it. Toss out the guilt and enjoy a mini-vacation. What wouldyou like to do? Read? You're already doing that. Pamper yourself? Takea bubble bath. Be a hermit? Let the machine answer the phone.⑧I poured half the bottle of bath gel into the streaming water and added a hearty handful of chamomile bath salts. Then I lit avanilla-scented candle and gingerly stepped into the bathtub. With a grateful sigh, I immersed myself in my homemade spa. I heard the phone ring somewhere off in the distance and smiled.⑨It is funny how the aches subsided in the heat of the tub. They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. My head felt just fine, the throb replaced by a sense of well-being.⑩By late afternoon, I was back at it, refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I felt empowered. (5)I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to my family. (6)I didn't needthe crutch of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn't it the simple things that set us free?本部分重点及难点：5.
