Unit 1Active reading (1)大学毕业找工作的第一要义:别躺在沙发上做梦今年夏天,超过65万的大学生毕业离校,其中有许多人根本不知道怎么找工作。
在当今金融危机的背景下,做父母的该如何激励他们?七月,你看着21岁英俊的儿子穿上学士袍,戴上四方帽,骄傲地握着优等学士学位证书,拍毕业照。
这时,记忆中每年支付几千英镑,好让儿子吃好、能偶尔参加聚会的印象开始消退。
但现在,你又不得不再考虑钱的问题。
等到暑假快要结束,全国各地的学生正在为新学期做准备的时候,你发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。
他只是偶尔走开去发短信,浏览社交网站Facebook,去酒吧喝酒。
这位前“千禧一代”的后裔一夜之间变成了“哼哼一代”的成员。
他能找到工作吗?这就是成千上万家庭所面临的景象:今年夏天,超过65万大学生毕业,在当今金融危机的背景下他们中的大多数人不知道自己下一步该做什么。
父母只会唠叨,而儿女们则毫无缘由地变成了叛逆者,他们知道自己该找份工作,但却不知道如何去找。
来自米德尔塞克斯郡的杰克·古德温今年夏天从诺丁汉大学政治学系毕业,获得二级一等荣誉学士学位。
他走进大学就业服务中心,又径直走了出来,因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。
跟他一起住的另外5个男孩也都跟他一样,进去又出来了。
找工作的压力不大,虽然他所认识的大多数女生都有更明确的计划。
他说:“我申请政治学研究工作,但被拒了。
他们给的年薪是1万8千镑,交完房租后所剩无几,也就够买一罐煮豆子,可他们还要有研究经历或硕士学位的人。
然后我又申请了公务员速升计划,并通过了笔试。
但在面试时,他们说我‘太冷漠’了,谈吐‘太像专家治国论者’。
我觉得自己不可能那样,但我显然就是那样的。
”打那以后他整个夏天都在“躲”。
他能够轻松复述《交通警察》中的若干片段,他白天看电视的时间太多,已经到了影响健康的地步。
跟朋友谈自己漫无目标的日子时,他才发现他们的处境和自己的并没有两样。

Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。
他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。
人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。
我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。
Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。

新21世纪大学英语综合教程4 Unit1译文 Harsh Reality of the American Dream 美国梦的严酷现实

美国梦的严酷现实汉弗莱·霍克斯利这是西雅图海边阳光明媚、赤日炎炎的一天,穿越海湾能一眼望见远处的岛屿,其自然美景没有受到任何破坏。
人们躺在一片草坪上看书或和恋人相依,一阵充满活力的无伴奏的歌声从草坪的另一端传了过来。
原来是一家咖啡馆外面有4位男子正在唱着一首关于丘比特的情歌,每个人都有着不同的音域。
围了几圈的人群正摇摆着身体合着节奏拍手。
这家咖啡馆的星巴克徽标让我觉得有一点过时,直到有人提到这是世界上第一家开张的星巴克时我才恍然大悟。
我是因为最近的一次调查来到西雅图的。
这项调查是由位于伦敦的经济运转情况中心发起的,旨在了解在世界不同的地方发财致富究竟有多么容易或多么困难——如果不是发财致富,至少也是摆脱贫困。
“如果你生在美国的一个穷人家庭,”其中的一位作者说,“那么比起在欧洲、北欧国家,你更有可能终身贫困,就连在加拿大,一个你觉得和美国差不多的国家,那里的情况也要比美国好。
”机会这项研究连同伊拉克战争以来愈来愈普遍的反美情绪,让我想到了一个有关美国梦——认为在美国任何事情都有可能实现的想法——的问题。
我之所以选择西雅图不仅仅是因为星巴克诞生在那里,还因为微软、亚马逊图书以及波音飞机都来自这座小城市。
如果你愿意将它们称作梦想的话,那么这些小梦想现在已经变成了全球的大品牌。
“天气真不错,是吗?”我转过身来,看到一张布满皱纹、略显疲惫的男人的脸,我称呼他“戴夫”。
“你会得到你想要的吗?”我们几天前见过面,当时他正在一家帮助穷人和无家可归者的慈善机构里吃早饭,我曾问他是否相信美国梦。
“美国梦,”戴夫吃着松饼,用餐巾纸擦了擦嘴说道,“这个嘛,它时来时去。
它还会再来的。
”成功者和失败者在一家天花板很低的餐厅里,有一百来个男人沿着搁板桌并排而坐。
他们5点就开始排队登记了,因为说不定会有工作。
然后他们吃饭,而保安则在一边监视他们,以防有什么麻烦发生。
在欧洲或仅仅是边界那一边的加拿大,人们更有可能获得社会保障。
综合教程4第三版unit1课文翻译

综合教程4第三版unit1课文翻译在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时,我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子,但随后我丈夫问道:“父亲在哪儿呢?”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现,他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿,说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是,父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节,甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化,这只是一个例子,它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲(我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的)奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时,媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候(我怀疑这一说法的可靠性,因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事),或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时,许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持,我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准:家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬,而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲,所得到文化上的认同却很少,甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色(即没出息的父亲)的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法,在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时,很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子,同样也适应于男子。
我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。

绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不温斯顿·丘吉尔1 将近一年前,应贵校校长盛情邀请,我来到这里唱了几首我们自己的歌曲,既为自己加油,也为一些朋友打气。
过去的10个月中全世界发生了可怕的、灾难性的事件——盛衰浮沉、厄运磨难——但是,今天下午,这个10月的下午,在座有哪一位不会因为这段时间所发生的一切,因为我们家国境况的改善,而心存感激呢?是的,上次我来这里时我们还孤立无援,形单影只,这种状况持续了五六个月。
当时我们装备简陋,现在有所改善,但那时真是家徒四壁。
我们曾面临着敌人的巨大威胁,而他们至今对我们狂轰滥炸,你们自己对于这种袭击都有亲身感受;我料想你们已经开始按捺不住了,因为这么长的一段时间里,我们碌碌无为,按兵不动。
2 但我们必须学会同样善于应付短暂而干脆与漫长而艰难的局面。
人们普遍认为英国人最终总是会胜出的。
他们不指望关键时刻接踵而至;他们不是一直期待每天都有决战的重大机会;不过一旦深思熟虑之后决意出手,即便需要经年累月,他们也矢志不渝。
3 回首10个月前我们在此地的相聚,对比现在,我觉得我们可以汲取的另一个教训就是,事物的表象常常是很有欺骗性的。
吉卜林说得好:我们必须“……面对胜利和灾难,以同样的方式对待这两个骗子。
”4 光看表象很难判断事物将何去何从。
有时想象的情景比事实糟糕很多,但缺乏想象人们会碌碌无为。
那些想象力丰富的人们也许预想的危险比现实多很多;当然,还会发生很多危险;然而他们也必须祈祷获得更多勇气来维持这样深远的想象。
当然,对每个人而言,我们在这个阶段经历的一切——我正在对学校发表演讲——诚然这是我们从这10个月中得到的教训:绝不屈服,绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不,绝不——无论事务巨细——都绝不屈服,除非你坚信屈服是光荣的明智之举。
绝不屈服于强权,绝不屈服于貌似气势排山倒海的强敌。
一年前我们孤军作战,许多国家都以为我们被彻底打败了,我们完蛋了。
我们所有的传统,我们的歌曲,我们的校史,我们国家的这部分历史,已经消逝、告终与完结。
综合教程4Unit1-Unit4课文翻译

Unit 1Never Give In, Never, Never, NeverWinston ChurchillAlmost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master's kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world—ups and downs, misfortunes—but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months—if it takes years—they do it.Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must "... meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same."You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period—I am addressing myself to the school—surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and goodsense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our school history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.You sang here a verse of a school song: you sang that extra verse written in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter—I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: "Not less we praise in darker days."I have obtained the Head Master's permission to alter darker to sterner. "Not less we praise in sterner days."Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days—the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不温斯顿·丘吉尔1 将近一年前,应贵校校长盛情邀请,我来到这里唱了几首我们自己的歌曲,既为自己加油,也为一些朋友打气。
秦秀白《新世纪大学英语综合教程(4)》(课文精解 Unit 1)【圣才出品】

二、课文精解Text A1.Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions,he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals.人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。
句子的主干为:not only has man transferred…,he has also changed…and transformed…;本句采用not only...but also句型引导的并列句,前半句中not only 置于句首,所以使用了倒装结构。
transfer sb./sth.from…to…把某事物/某人从…调动、转移到…。
例:He was transferred from Weston Hospital to Frenchay.他从韦斯顿医院转院到了法兰查。
climate既可指“气候”,又可指“氛围”,例:a tropical climate热带气候。
a favorable climate of opinion有利的舆论氛围。
transform改变;改造。
与change,alter,convert的区别是:transform指人或物在形状、外观、形式、性质等方面发生的彻底变化,失去原状成为全新的东西。
change 指任何变化,完全改变,强调与原先的情况有明显的不同。
alter常指轻微的改变,强调基本上保持原物、原状的情况下所进行的部分改变。
convert指进行全部或局部改变以适应新的功能或用途。
也指信仰或态度时,强调较激烈、大的改变。
例:I believe she would transform me into a talker.我相信,她会把我这个沉默寡言的人变成个碎嘴子。

We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。

人类降服并控制了电,迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。
人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。
Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it. Humanity converts nature's wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society. Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment andtransformed plants and animals.随着社会的发展,人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少,而间接的依赖却越来越多。
我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中,他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。
然而,尽管工具不甚完备,他们却能同心协力,顽强工作,并总是有所收获。
在与人类的相互作用中,大自然也发生了改变。
森林被破坏了,耕地面积增加了。
大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。
譬如,森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的,因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。
这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的,所谓“文明”,就是人类在哪里建立家园,耕耘土地,哪里的森林就被砍伐。
As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities. However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly , collectively, and were able to attain results . Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with its elemental forces was regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat . This was all done in the name of civilization , which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.然而,随着岁月的流逝,人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。
科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。
But as time goes on mankind becomes increasingly concerned with the question of where and how to obtain irreplaceable natural resources for the needs of production. Science and man's practical transforming activities have made humanity aware of the enormous geological role played by the industrial transformation of the earth.目前,人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡,已呈现崩溃的迹象。
生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。
人类和社会的需求,即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质,也变得越来越难以满足。
清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。
At present the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole, has shown ominous signs of breaking down. The problem of the so-called replaceable resources of the biosphere has become particularly acute . It is getting more and more difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings and society even for such a substance , for example, as fresh water. The problem of eliminating industrial waste is also becoming increasingly complex.现代技术的特征是生产和使用日益丰富的人工合成产品。
人们生产成千上万的人工合成材料。
人们越来越多地用尼龙和其他人造纤维把自己从头到脚地包裹起来,这些绚丽的织物显然对他们无益。
年轻人或许很少注意到这一点,他们更关注的是外表,而不是健康。
但是上了年岁之后,他们就会感受到这种有害的影响。
Modern technology is distinguished by an ever increasing abundance of produced and used synthetic goods. Hundreds of thousands of synthetic materials are being made. People increasingly cover their bodies from head to foot in nylon and other synthetic, glittering fabrics that are obviously not good for them. Young people may hardly feel this, and they pay more attention to appearance than to health. But they become more aware of this harmful influence as they grow older.久而久之,这些合成物质转变成废弃物,那些原本毒性不大的物质在自然循环中变为极其有害的物质。
自然科学家和哲学家如今都在问自己这样一个问题:人类对生物圈的破坏难道是无法避免的吗As time goes on the synthetic output of production turns into waste, and then substances that in their original form were not very toxic are transformed in the cycle of natural processes into aggressive agents . Today both natural scientists and philosophers are asking themselves the question: Is man's destruction of the biosphere inevitable人与大自然的关系——生态环境的危机——已经成为一个全球性问题。
