现代大学英语精读5期末重点复习

高级英语精读5期末复习Unit 1 Who are you and What are you doing here？Paraphrase1.My father had some experience with lawyers,and with policemen,too;he was not well-disposed toward either.My father had some unhappy experiences with lawyers and policemen(implying that he got into some trouble and was punished in some way) and therefore did not like lawyers and policemen. The speaker‟s use of this unashamed admission about his father‟s trouble with the law is humorous.2.Then I had better study literature,unless I had inside information to the effect that reincarnation wasn't just hype,and I'd be able to attend college thirty or forty times.My father advised me to study literature since that was what I really liked. I had only one life, unless I had secret knowledge that we can all be reborn again and again (that reincarnation is not just nonsense)and therefore I can go to college many times. My father of course was totally contemptuous of the whole idea of reincarnation.3.They want the certificate that will give them access to Wall Street, or entrance into law or medical or business school.They want the diploma/credentials which will enable them to get well-paid jobs on Wall Street or go to law schools, medical schools, or business schools to become lawyers, doctors, and business executives.4.The work they are compelled to do to advance--get tenure, promotion, raises, outside offers--is , broadly speaking, scholarly work.In order to be successful, they have to work hard. They must earn the right to keep their job as a professor for as long as they like, keep publishing if they do not want to perish, get higher and higher salaries, and get offers from outside their universities to add to their prestige. And all this can be broadly called scholarly work.5. The professor saves his energies for the profession, while the student saves his for friends, social life, volunteer work, making connections, and getting in position to clasp hands on the true grail, the first job.The professor saves his energies for his own scholarly work while the student saves his energies for his friends, socializing, volunteer work, building a network of people who might be useful for his career, and trying in every possible way to obtain an ideal job upon graduation, which is really the most important goal for him. The speaker is implying that neither the professor nor the student is giving his/her main attention to teaching and learning. 6....the battle of waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.Eton, as we know is a public (that is, private) school for the British aristocracy. It educates the men who become Britain’s leaders; the ties formed there areall-important as are the unspoken rules you learn. So what Wellington is saying here is that it was this small and cohesive class and its values that defeated Napoleon.7.The quest at the center of a liberal arts education is not a luxury quest;it's a necessity quest.What students are looking for from a liberal arts education is not a luxury,but a necessity. It is not something you could do with, but something you absolutely can‟t do without.8.You may not have read yourself right, and college is the place where you can find out whether you have or not. The reason to read Blake and Dickinson and Freud and Dickens is not to become more cultivated, or more articulate, or to be someone who, at a cocktail party, is never embarrassed.You may be…someone who is never embarrassed in social gatherings because you are so well-read and so knowledgeable (or who can embarrass others by making them appear ignorant).9.For somehow your predecessors are more yourself than you are.For some reason, you find that these writers who lived a long time ago seem to know more about you than you do yourself.10.In reading,I continue to look for one thing—to be influenced,to learn something new,to be thrown off my course and onto another,better way.In reading, I continue to look for one thing. I hope that I can find new ideas and new perspectives that will make me change the course of my life and put me on a new and better road.英翻汉1.只是，聪明的人都习惯于琢磨如何才能顺利谋生的问题。

As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.. 在我等着进大学期间我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区有所学校要招聘一名教师。
