Unit3 美国人的酷爱1 我父亲是别克人。
在经济大萧条以前，他本是史达兹人。
然而，就像成千上万经济状况处于上升阶段的有车族一样，那场可悲的经济逆转使他们非得调整对汽车的胃口不可。
到他死的时候，他开过的那些别克轿车就不只是普通意义上的交通工具了，而且将父亲定位于这样的社会阶层——比庞蒂亚克人富有，但比不上克迪拉克人。
拥有别克轿车让人一看便知父亲的社会地位。
与别克人相当的还有福特人和克莱斯勒人。
2 我们美国人与汽车的特殊缘分，其坚实的基础就在于对一种轿车品牌的忠诚，这种忠诚因其来之不易而倍受珍惜。
·这就是爱吗?也许用词过分，可美国人对这些机器的尊重甚过所有其他机器——不仅将它们视为20世纪雕塑大观中的标志，而且还将它们视为社会的护身符。
我记忆中的第一辆别克车是一辆闪闪发亮的黑色轿车，椅子的衬垫是厚厚的马海毛，离合器拉杆是新式的。
我父亲爱吹嘘说这辆车一小时能跑120英里。
一想到这样的速度就会令男人们兴奋不已。
我照着家里的菲尔可牌收音机盒里播出的格林，霍利特驾驶的那个神秘机器的名字，给这头漂亮的牲口取了个名副其实的绰号——黑美驹。
3 20世纪中，电话、电视或者个人电脑，这一切都使人类环境发生了巨大变化。
然而，与电话、电视、电脑不同的是，汽车却享有人格化的地位。
有些汽车可以成为家庭成员，机械宠物。
我们给汽车起名字，在自己家的车道上精心打扮汽车，在汽车不能满足我们的需要时诅咒它们。
在折旧换新之时为旧车的离去而悲哀。
4 人们对汽车的热爱让环境保护者、安全为重的倡导者以及社会工程师们感到不安。
他们认为通往人间天堂的道路应该到处都铺设公交运输所必备的发亮轨道。
他们想象着我们加入未来拥挤不堪的自行车行列，而不是像一位激动不已的评论家所预见的那样，坐在“傲慢的双轮马车”方向盘后。
这种态度不是现在才有的。
首先是铁路，接着是汽车造成的人口流动早已使得守旧的特权阶层感到不安。
在战场上有过辉煌，但却以鄙视下层民众而出名的威林顿公爵在150年前就曾反对英国发展铁路，这是因为火车只会怂恿普通人毫无意义地到处走动。

全部英译汉翻译Unit one1、That story brings a smile, because it pokes fun at a common type of self-defeatist thinking这个故事让我发笑，因为这个故事它讽刺了普遍存在的悲观者的思维方式。
2、If those thoughts spell gloom and doom, that’s where you’re headed, because put-down words sabotage confidence instead if offering support and encouragement. 如果这些想法意味着黑暗或毁灭，那么你就会走向黑暗和毁灭，因为贬低的话语使人丧失信心而不是给人以支持与勇气。
3、hearing her fears and foreboding read out loud made sue realize how much energy she was squandering on imagined catastrophes. If you’ve been feeling down, it could be you’re sending yourself negative message too. Listen to the words churning inside your head. Repeat them aloud or write them down, if that will help capture them.听到自己的恐惧和不祥的感觉被说出来，使苏意识到她在那些虚构的灾难上浪费了如此多的精力。
如果你感觉不好，是你在给自己传递消极的信息。
倾听你的想法。
大声地重复或者写下来，假如这样做有助于能捕获到它们的话。
4、By isolating negative words and phrases ,you can pinpoint the damage you’re doing to yourself .For Fran and Mark ,the culpritswere only and just . Once those words are eliminated ,there’s nothing destructive about saying ,‖I’m a salesman‖ or ―I’m secretary. ‖ both statements open doors to positive follow-ups, such as ,‖I’m on my way up the ladder.‖将那些有害的词汇和句子分离出来，你能确定你自己对自己造成的伤害，对他们来说，罪魁祸首就是―只不过‖、―仅仅‖这两个词汇。

Unit4 无子女家庭：亘古生息的反叛1二十好几的凯茜、韦恩夫妇结婚已有五年之久，膝下犹虚。
上次凯茜娘家有一个人问：“你们打算什么时候要孩子?”她答道：“我们就是孩子!”2凯茜与韦恩属于一代人数日益增长、决定不要孩子的年轻已婚夫妇群体。
最近一项调查显示在过去的五年中，年龄在25至29岁之间妇女不愿生养的百分比几乎翻了一番，在18至24岁的已婚妇女中几乎增至三倍。
在这个似乎大胆反抗生物性和社会性的决定后面隐藏着什么原因呢?3或许最能公开坦陈心曲的无子女夫妇是《婴儿陷阱》一书的作者：埃伦，派克，其夫威廉，一位广告总经理兼全国不生养夫妇协会主席。
派克夫妇认为他们和协会均无意反对生儿育女，不过是反对迫使人们传宗接代的社会压力，它无视人们是否殷切盼望和真的需要孩子或者根本不好此道。
4“这是一种生活方式的选择，”埃伦说，“我们选择自由和自愿，清净和闲暇。
这也是一个朝哪个方向付出努力的问题——在你自己的小家庭之内或在一个大的社团之中。
这一代人面临有关地球生命延续的严重问题以及生命质量的问题。
我们的孙男孙女也许将购票去观赏最后一批红松林或排队去获取氧气配给。
有人抱怨在回家见五个孩子的途中被交通堵塞困住好几个小时，但是他们不能将孩子与交通堵塞联系起来。
在一个受到人口过剩一系列后果威胁的世界上，我们正在参与一项事业使膝下无子的生活模式为社会所接受并受世人尊重。
太多的孩子作为一种文化强制的后果而呱呱坠地，离婚和虐待儿童的相关统计充分揭露了这一结果。
”5埃伦的丈夫补充说：“每位朋友、亲戚、同事不停地给你施加压力，劝你要孩子，说什么‘发现你生活中失去的东西’。
好多好多人很晚才发现，所谓他们失去的东西其实是他们完全不适合做的事情。
”6埃伦还说：“从抱第一个洋娃娃开始，大到欣赏电视肥皂剧，成年后参加鸡尾酒会，无形之中，总有一种压力要你为人父母。
但是让我们来看看养育失败的比率吧，或许天下父母应该视为像当医生一样的专门职业。
有些人擅长此道，他们应当生养孩子；有些人一窍不通，他们应该认为他们还有其他的选择。

一、A Working Community1. I have a friend who is a member of the medical community. It does not say that, of course, on the stationery that bears her home address.This membership comes f rom her hospital work.我有一个朋友,她是医学界的一员。
当然，这在有她家庭住址的信笺上是找不到的。
她的这个成员身份来自她的医院工作。
2. I have another friend who is a member of the computer community. This is a fairl y new subdivision of our economy, and yet he finds his sense of place in it.我有另一个朋友，他是电脑圈的一员。
这是我们的经济的一个相当新的分支，但是他在这里找到了自己的归属感。
3. Other friends and acquaintances of mine are members of the academic communi ty, or the business community, or the journalistic community.我的其他朋友和熟人是学术界，商界，或新闻社区的成员。
4. Though you cannot find these on any map, we know where we belong。
虽然在任何地图上找不到这些，我们却知道自己的归属。
5、None of us, mind you, was born into these communities. Nor did we move into them, U-Hauling our possessions along with us. None has papers to prove we are card-carrying members of one such group or another. Yet it seems that more and more of us are identified by work these days, rather than by street.值得一提的是，我们没有谁一出生就属于这些社区，也不是后来我们搬了进来。

Model Test 1Put the following into Chinese・Ifs my belief that this con flue nee of a n etworked economy, China's reforms, embrace of new technologies and a rapidly growing economy puts China in a unique positi on. China may have the perfect opport unity to "leapfrog0other nations in production, productivity and profitable growth. E-business adoption throughout China will accelerate China's ability Io do this. The present time bulges with opportunities for the future. Tile cha nges are comi ng so fast that they can seem almost chaotic. But as I leave you, 1 am reminded of an observation made in the Yi Jing: Great brillianee only arrives after a period of some chaos. I share that view. And I look forward to seeing the brillianee of the new China when all your people are connected and China is a major force in the networked world.Model Test 2Put the following into Chinese・The world is colorful and diversified. People of d iff ere nt coun tries have traversed d if fere nt roads of historical development. Each nation with its own cultural background, social system and value, will continue to lead a life in its own way. This diversity is the very reason why the world is full of competition, vigor and innovation. Countries should enhance exchanges and understanding, and move ahead together on the basis of mutual respect and equality. They should not allow the diversity to be a barrier to their forward march, still less should they deliberately provoke confrontation and conflict. To respect and develop the diversity of world civilization and identify comm on interests are a great driving force propelling human society forward.Model Test 3Put the following into Chinese・China has already begun to recognize the importance of addressing environmental issues that have a direct and immediate impact on quality of life, such as water pollution and air-borne particulates. Global warming as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases represents a real threat to the future well-being of all of us who share this planet. It is true, of course, that the already-developed countries are responsible for the large majority of the greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere today. Nevertheless, with the proportions ofcurrent greenhouse-gas emissions shifting rapidly toward China and other large developing countries, China's participation is critical to the success of any attempt to deal with rising levels of those gases. Agreeing on an efficient and equitable approach for addressing this global threat is an in ternational public good, and its benefits will be enjo yed by all countries, including China・Model Test 4Put the following into Chinese・China has already begun to tackle the complex task of helping SOEs (state-owned enterprises) to shed off responsibility for social services and housing. Beyond this, attention recently has focused on a process analogous to what we in the United States call corporatization—-that is, imposing hard budget constraints, good accounting practices, and sound governance with accountable management. These reforms may in fact go a long way toward improving the performance of the state-owned enterprises, particularly if government can maintain the pressure to reduce subsidies, to the degree that social stability and income distribution con siderations allow it. Let me expand on the subsidy and governance issues briefly. If China docs want to promote social objectives through policy loans, it is critical that those loans be made on a commercial basis・Model Test 5Put the following into Chinese・In the 20th century, mankind created material and spiritual wealth unmatched by any other time in history. Regrettably, it was also in these 100 years that humanity experienced unprecedented hardships, particularly the havoc of the two world wars. However, it is always the people of the world that make and write world history. In this sense, justice will inevitably prevail over evil, light over darkness and progress over backwardness. Mankind will undoubtedly keep overcoming difficulties and obstacles, blaze new trails and steadily move forward to a better future.In this 21st century, the people of the world still face many tough challenges; but definitely, they also see enormous opportunities for development. So long as the people of the world work in union and form a strong force to tackle all challenges, mankind with its civilization will continue to march forward against all odds, like aship braving the wind and the waves.Model Test 6Put the following into Chinese・In 1972, Home Box Office (HBO) introduced the first pay TV service. HBO*s combi nation of rece nt movies and origi nal programmi ng soon made it successful. The increase in dema nd for good programming stimulated the growth of pay TV which in turn enhanced the spread of cable. Cable received its biggest boost from an entrepreneur named Ted Turner who developed the first superstations. In the mid ・ 1970's, new government regulations allowed Turner to distribute programming that had already been shown on other networks. And new satellite tech no logy allowed him to bypass the expe nsive telephone lines used by the three terrestrial networks to distribute signals to local operators・Today, cable TV is in 62% of America's 107 million TV households. The reason for giving this historical recount is to try to illustrate one point: people want good programming.Model Test 7Put the following into Chinese・The attai nments, or present acquisiti ons, of an in dividual n ecessarily influence the character of his subsequent development, for what a person can or cannot learn to do is to a large extent a function of his previous experiences. For example, the acquisition of the ability to walk or talk enables a person to acquire many other types of experience which would otherwise be impossible, while the mastery of the principles of geometry is a necessary prerequisite for the acquisition of other types of mathematical knowledge. As has been emphasized through out the text, every orga nism in variably solves each new situation with which it is con fronted in terms of its previous experiences, and obviously what any organism can learn to do it thus depend to some extent upon the character of its previous acquisitions. Our past experiences also exert an inhibitory effect on acquisition of other types of response and thus restrict our possibilities of development along certain lines.Model Test 8Put the following into Chinese・All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we are interested in discovering just how the doomed man choseto spend his last days or his last hours・ In stories, the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fort line, but almost always his sense of values is changed・ He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values・ It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do. Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?Model Test 8Suggested Chinese Version:我们全都读过——些惊心动魄的故事，其中的主人翁生时不多，屈指口J数，冇的长达一年，有的则短至24小吋。

Unit1 从能力到责任[全文翻译]1 当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。
他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西：追求安全保障，追逐物质财富的积累。
年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为，但他们对未来的认识还是很模糊的。
处于像他们这样前程未定的年龄阶段，他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在，寻找生活的意义。
一如芸芸众生的我们，他们也陷入了两难的境地。
一方面，他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义，而另一方面，他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑，陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。
2 最终而言，大学教育素质的衡量取决于毕业生是否愿意为他们所处的社会和赖以生存的城市作出贡献。
尼布尔曾经写道：“一个人只有意识到对社会所负有的责任，他才能够认识到自身的潜力。
一个人如果一味地以自我为中心，他将会失去自我。
”本科教育必须对这种带有理想主义色彩的观念进行自我深省，使学生超越以自我为中心的观念，以诚相待，服务社会。
在这一个竞争激烈＼残酷的社会，人们期望大学生能报以正直、文明，，甚至富有同情心的人格品质去与人竞争，这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力，如今是否仍然适合?3毫无疑问，大学生应该履行公民的义务。
美国的教育必须立刻采取行动，使教育理所当然地承担起弥合公共政策与公众的理解程度之间的极具危险性且在日益加深的沟壑这一职责。
那些要求人们积极思考政府的议程并提供富于创意的意见的信息似乎越来越让我们感到事不关己。
所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。
设想，怎么可能让一些非专业人士去讨论必然带来相应后果的政府决策的问题，而他们甚至连语言的使用都存在困难?4核能的使用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。
5 类似的一头雾水的感觉，公众曾经尝试过。

近年汉译英试题2004年1月考研的人在英语上花的时间远远多于其它学科，希望英语分数越高越好。
许多人坚信成功地秘诀是参加短训班和多背范文，结果却发现此招不灵。
他们为提高英语水平做出的努力很难得到回报。
参考译文：Those who take the entrance examination for graduate schools spend much (/far) more time on English than on other subjects, hoping for the highest possible scores of English. Many people are convinced that the secret to success is to attend training courses (/classes) and learn many sample writings by heart, only to find that doesn’t work. Their efforts to improving their English can’t pay off easily.2004年6月计算机被认为是有史以来对人类生活影响最大的发明。
它的神奇之处在于其运算速度和准确性优于人类。
计算机能在几秒钟内完成几十年前可能需要数天才能完成的事。
这是人类第一次感到自己作为最高级物种的地位受到了挑战。
参考译文：The computer is believed (/regarded /considered) to be the invention that has exerted the greatest influence on human lives in history. What is remarkable about it is that it can calculate with better speed and accuracy than man. The computer can finish in seconds what might have taken days decades ago. This is the first time that man has felt that his position (/status) as the highest species has been challenged.2005年1月人们越来越意识到开发环保型产品的重要性。
为实现长期可持续发展，发达国家不惜代价减少温室气体的排放。
如果目前全球变暖的速度保持不变，东京和伦敦等大城市从地球上消失的可能性将是20前的10倍。
参考译文：People have become increasingly aware of the importance of developing environmentally friendly (pollution-free) products. For the sake of longstanding sustainable development, developed countries are to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases at any cost. If the current rate of global warming continues, big cities, such as Tokyo and London, are ten times more likely to disappear from the earth as twenty years ago.2005年6月人人都有追求幸福的权利，但对幸福的定义却因人而异。
绝大多数人认为幸福来自于健康的身体、愿望的实现和事业有成。
正如经常发生的那样，许多人在遇到痛苦时才意识到幸福的真正含义。
参考译文：Everyone has the right to pursue happiness (to the pursuit of happiness), yet (/but) definitions of happiness vary from person to person (are quite individualistic). Most people agree that happiness stems from good health, fulfillment of a desire and a successful career. As often happiness (is often the case), many people don’t recognize (realize) what happiness really means (the real meaning of happiness) until they are distressed (agonized / in agony).2005年12月没有盼头的日子是苍白而且不可想象的。
人，得天天有点什么盼头，生活才不至于黯淡。
有了盼头，会觉得太阳每天都是新的。
土地去掉水分，就成了沙漠；人没了盼，还剩什么？小盼头支撑人的一天，大盼头支撑人的一生。
参考译文：A day without hope would be unimaginably pale (/dull). There must be something to look forward to each day to keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Deprived of water, soilturns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is left to a man? A small hope sustains you for a day, a great one for a lifetime.2006年6月2007年1月该法案旨在对美国中小学进行教育改革，并使所有儿童有机会得到高质量的教育。
最终目标是确保无一人落后。
由于此法案的实施，学校有更多的灵活性把资源用于最急需的地方。
父母更多地参与孩子的教育。
参考译文：This act is intended (designed / aims) to introduce education reform in America’s elementary and secondary schools and give all children the access to high-quality education. The ultimate goal is to ensure that no one is left behind. As a result of the implementation of this act, schools enjoy more flexibility to use resources where they are needed most. Parents can get more involved in the child’s education.2007年6月中国可持续发展所依赖的有限的自然资源正在锐减。
一方面是生产规模在不断扩大，消耗更多的能源；另一方面是缺少能高效利用能源的生产设备。
这迫使我们思考如何为后人留下足够的环境空间以使他们实现的愿望。
参考译文：The limited natural resources on which China’s sustainable development depends (relies) are declining sharply. On the one hand, the expanding scale of production leads to (results in) increased consumption of energy. (the scale of production keeps expanding, consuming more energy.) On the other hand, production facilities (equipment) that can utilize energy efficiently are lacking. That (This) forces us to think about how to leave enough environmental space to future generations (our offspring) so that they can fulfill their aspirations.2008年1月根据最新统计， 67%的美国人能上网，该比例是中国的6倍。
尽管互联网作用巨大，但许多问题远远没有解决，如：病毒侵入和信息安全。
即使这些问题最终有可能得到解决，也需要艰辛的努力和多年时间。
参考译文：According to the latest statistics, 67 percent of the U.S. population have access to the Internet, a percentage six times that of China (as large as China’s). Despite the influential (huge) role of the Internet, many problems (issues) are far from settled (solved), such as the invasion (attack) of viruses and information security. Even if it is possible to find final (eventual) solutions, it will take painstaking efforts and many years.2008年6月中国一直有重视教育的传统，尤其是儿童的教育。
许多家长让孩子参加各种培训班，以增加被理想中学录取的可能性。
但专家们指出，保持儿童对科学的好奇和兴趣有助于其智力发展。
一个没有创造力和想象力的儿童很难有所作为。
参考译文：Traditionally, the Chinese people have attached importance to education, especially the education of children. Many parents have their children attend various training courses to increase their chance of being admitted by the ideal / expected high schools. Experts, however, point out that keeping children curious about and interested in science will facilitate their intellectual development. A child without any creativity and imagination can hardly go very far.2009年1月中国学生在英语上花的时间比其他学科多得多，原因是英语需要泛读、机械记忆和经常复习。
