Old Father Time Becomes a TerrorRichard Tomkins1 Once upon a time,technology,we thought,would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us,leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.时间老人成了可怕的老人理查德·汤姆金斯从前,我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。

那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作,我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。

2 But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate:as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium。

And as each invention arrives,it eats further into our time.但技术发展没有把我们解放出来,而是使我们成为奴隶.新技术纷至沓来,令人目不暇接:一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。

而每一项新发明问世,就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。

3 The motorcar,for example,promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility。

But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse—drawn carriage,and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams。

Unit 1 Active reading 1 抓螃蟹大学最后一年的秋天,我们的心情变了。

刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不见了踪影,我们开始埋头学习,苦读到深夜,课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。

我们都觉得在校时间不多了,以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了,所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。

当然,下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。

我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一,那也太丢人了,因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。

以前每天下午五点以后,图书馆就空无一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座,小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。

还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。

每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么样的工作。

并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么,常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几个阶段的人生做好了规划。

有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的广告公司得到了一份工作,另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞草签了合约。

我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个政党活动家,我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。

但大多数同学不是准备继续深造,就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领,希望在20出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水,过上舒适的生活,然后就娶妻生子,贷款买房,期望升职,过安稳日子。

感恩节的时候我回了一趟家,兄弟姐妹们免不了不停地问我毕业后有什么打算,我不知道该说什么。

实际上,我知道该说什么,但我怕他们批评我,所以只对他们说了别人都准备干什么。

父亲看着我,什么也没说。

夜深时,他叫我去他的书房。

我们坐了下来,他给我们俩各倒了杯饮料。

“怎么样?”他问。

“啊,什么怎么样?”“你毕业后到底想做什么?”他问道。

父亲是一名律师,我一直都认为他想让我去法学院深造,追随他的人生足迹,所以我有点儿犹豫。

过了会儿我回答说:“我想旅行,我想当个作家。

Unit5Some 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:他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。

每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候,我就耸耸肩。

我想这种人不是无知,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,是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。

课文A参考译文Unit 1冰雪卫士——奈拉?B?史密斯人们常说骄兵必败。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒来说吧,他们取得的一个又一个的胜利让他们相信自己战无不胜,没有什么可以阻挡他们,但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士会证明他们是错的。

1 1812年,法国皇帝拿破仑?波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。

他为面对俄罗斯人民保卫家园而要进行的坚决抵抗做好了准备。

他想到了要经过长途跋涉才能到达俄罗斯的首都莫斯科,为此也做好了准备。

但他没有为在莫斯科会遭遇到的劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷刺骨的寒冬——做好准备。

2 1941年,纳粹德国元首阿道夫?希特勒对当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯发起了进攻。

希特勒的军事力量无可匹敌。

他的战争机器扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗。

希特勒希望在最短的时间内结束战斗,但是,就像他的前人拿破仑一样,他得到了惨痛的教训。

俄罗斯的冬天又一次帮助了苏维埃士兵。

拿破仑发起的战役3 1812年春,拿破仑在俄国边境集结60万大军。

这些士兵都训练有素,有很强的作战能力,而且都有精良的装备。

这支军队被称为“大军”。

拿破仑对迅速胜利充满信心,预言要用5个星期攻下俄国。

4 不久,拿破仑的大军经过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑所期盼的迅速、决定性的胜利并没有出现。

令他吃惊的是,俄国人并没有反抗。

相反,他们一路向东撤退,沿途焚毁庄稼和房屋。

“大军”紧追不舍,但它的前进很快由于后勤补给缓慢而停顿下来。

5 到了8月,法军和俄军在斯摩棱斯克开火,在这次战役中,双方各有上万人死在战场上。

可是,俄国军队又能继续向自己领土的纵深撤退。

拿破仑并没有取得决定性的胜利。

此刻他面临着一个生死攸关的抉择:是继续追击俄军,还是为了度过即将来临的冬天而把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克呢?6 拿破仑决定冒险向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。

1812年9月7日,法俄两军在鲍罗季诺展开激烈的战斗,此地在莫斯科以西112公里外。

夜幕降临时,法军和俄军分别有3万和4.4万名士兵的死伤。

7 俄国军队再次撤退到安全的地方。

unit 1翻译1 七月,你看着英俊的21岁的儿子穿上学士袍,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、并能偶尔参加聚会的记忆开始消退。

但现在,你又不得不再考虑钱的问题。

2 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,你却发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。

除此之外,他只是偶尔发发短信,浏览社交网站Facebook,或者去酒吧喝酒。

这位属于“千禧一代”的年青人一夜之间变成了“抱怨一代”的成员。

他能找到工作吗?3 这就是成千上万家庭所面临的状况:今年夏天,65万多大学生毕业,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。

4 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,但又径直走了出来,因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。

跟他一起住的另外5个男孩子也都跟他一样,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。

5 他说:“我申请政治学研究工作,但被拒绝了。

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。

然后我又申请参加快速晋升人才培养计划,并通过了笔试。

但在面试时,他们说我‘太冷漠’了,谈吐‘太像专家政治论者’。

我觉得自己不可能那样,但我显然就是那样的。

”6 打那以后,他整个夏天都在“隐身”。

他能够轻松地复述出电视剧《交通警察》中的若干片段。

他白天看电视的时间太长,已经到了影响健康的地步。

跟朋友谈起自己漫无目标的日子时,他才发现他们的处境和自己一样。

其中一位朋友在父母的逼迫下去超市上货,其余的则都是朝九晚五地“无所事事”,晚上则去酒吧喝酒打发时间。

要么,干脆就在酒吧工作?这样还可以挣些酒钱。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1: Cultural DifferencesText A: Understanding Cultural DifferencesPart ICulture Shock and Its EffectsCulture shock refers to the feeling of disorientation and confusion that individuals experience when living in a new cultural environment. It occurs when people are suddenly confronted with unfamiliar customs, traditions, languages, and behaviors that differ from those of their own culture.The effects of culture shock vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel anxious, lonely, or even depressed. Others may become frustrated or irritated by the differences they encounter. These symptoms can have a significant impact on individuals' mental and emotional well-being, making it crucial to develop strategies to cope with culture shock effectively.Part IIAdapting to a New CultureAdapting to a new culture requires an open mind and a willingness to learn and embrace new customs and traditions. It is essential to approach cultural differences with respect and curiosity, avoiding making hasty judgments or stereotypes.Language is often a significant barrier when adapting to a new culture. Learning the local language can greatly enhance communication andunderstanding, enabling individuals to connect with the local community and build meaningful relationships.Part IIIThe Importance of Cultural SensitivityDeveloping cultural sensitivity is vital in today's interconnected world. It involves being aware of and respectful towards cultural differences and understanding that there is no absolute right or wrong. By adopting a culturally sensitive mindset, individuals can navigate cross-cultural interactions more successfully and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts.Cultural sensitivity also plays a crucial role in global business and diplomatic relations. Being knowledgeable about cultural norms and practices can help individuals build trust and establish long-lasting partnerships.Part IVTips for Overcoming Culture Shock1. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or support groups who have experience living in the same or a similar culture. They can offer guidance and advice on how to cope with culture shock.2. Embrace new experiences: Rather than shying away from new customs and traditions, actively participate and embrace them. This can help foster a sense of belonging and facilitate cultural integration.3. Be patient: Adapting to a new culture takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and others, and remember that adjusting to a new environment is a gradual process.Text B: Cultural Differences in EducationPart IThe Role of Education in Different CulturesEducation plays a central role in shaping individuals and societies. However, the goals and methods of education vary significantly across cultures. In some cultures, rote memorization and obedience to authority are emphasized, while others focus on critical thinking and creativity.Part IIViews on Teaching and LearningDifferent cultures hold diverse perspectives on teaching and learning. In some cultures, the teacher is viewed as the sole authority figure and imparts knowledge to passive students. In contrast, other cultures emphasize student participation and encourage critical thinking and independent learning.Part IIIClassroom DynamicsCultural differences also manifest in classroom dynamics. In some cultures, students are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and engage in lively discussions. In contrast, other cultures value silence and respect for authority, where students listen attentively to the teacher without interrupting or challenging their views.Part IVEducation and Social MobilityThe role of education in social mobility varies across cultures. In some societies, education is seen as the primary means to improve one's social status and economic opportunities. In contrast, in more collectivist cultures, the emphasis may be on maintaining societal harmony rather than individual achievement.Text A Translation: 《理解文化差异》第一部分文化冲击及其影响文化冲击指的是个体在新的文化环境中所体验到的迷失和困惑感。

当人们突然面对与自己所属文化不同的习俗、传统、语言和行为时,文化冲击便会产生。

文化冲击的影响因人而异。

一些人可能会感到焦虑、孤独,甚至抑郁。

其他人可能会因所遇到的差异感到沮丧或恼怒。

这些症状对个体的心理和情绪健康有重大影响,因此,有效应对文化冲击至关重要。

第二部分适应新文化适应新文化需要持开放心态和愿意学习与接纳新的习俗和传统。

必须以尊重和好奇的态度对待文化差异,避免草率的判断或刻板印象。

语言通常是适应新文化时的重要障碍。

学习当地语言可以极大地提升沟通和理解能力,使个体能够与当地社区联系并建立有意义的关系。

第三部分培养文化敏感性的重要性在当今相互联系的世界中,培养文化敏感性非常重要。

这意味着要意识到和尊重文化差异,理解并不存在绝对的对与错。

文化敏感性在全球商务和外交关系中也扮演着重要角色。
