Unit 1 一课千金（一语抵千金）成长在二战期间战火连天的曼彻斯特意味着生活艰辛，金钱紧缺，整日焦虑不安，当铺成了大多数家庭经常去的地方，当然也包括我家。
然而，我不能对已经很有进取心和积极乐观的父母有更多的要求了。
他们艰辛地工作，用尊严和快乐来支撑着这个家庭。
我刚毅而又智慧的父亲几乎无所不能，而且从不缺木匠和手工艺活。
为了满足家庭开支，他甚至参加了非法组织的拳击比赛。
至于我的母亲，她勤劳节约，极爱干净。
即使条件艰苦，在母亲的照料下，她的五个孩子总能吃得饱饱地，穿得干干净净地去学校。
尽管我的衣服熨得很平整，鞋子擦得发亮，还是不符合学校的着装标准。
尽管妈妈勤俭持家，想办法为我们做衣服，但是我还是没有学校指定的蓝色校服和帽徽。
由于战争，政府实施定量配给制。
很多学校都放宽了对学生着装的要求，因为他们知道在那个时候弄到衣服是一件很困难的事情。
尽管如此，我所在的女子学校对着装的要求依旧很严格，每个学生必须要穿学校指定的校服。
所以，每天主持校会的副校长就把教我一个人如何着装当成了他的工作。
虽然我努力地向老师说明我不能遵守的理由，并且事实上，我也在努力地改进，但是每天老师都会把我从队伍中拉出来，然后让我站到台上，作为不穿校服到学校的学生的典型。
每天，当我独自一人尴尬地站在同学们的面前时，我都会强忍住泪水。
为了惩罚我，老师甚至不允许我参加体操队，也不允许我参加我最喜欢的每周一次的交易舞会。
我多么希望在这所可怕的学校里，能有这样一位老师，他会睁开双眼，然后看看我会做什么，而不是不断地告诉我不能做什么。
然而，在我十二岁的记忆中，除了接受惩罚我别无选择。
不要让我善良的母亲知晓这种惯例的惩罚对我而言是很重要的，我不敢冒险让她来学校为我说情，因为我知道心胸狭隘、不讲情面的教员会同样地使她难堪，那意味着我们俩都会不愉快、会有失颜面。
千万不要啊，如果她告诉我父亲的话，他将会立即为我大动干戈。
后来有一天，我们家赢得了一个报刊比赛，可以免费照相。

全新版大学英语综合教程（第二版）第2册课文翻译Unit 1 Text A哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。
Learning, Chinese-Style1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

英专综合教程综英第2版何兆熊unit2、4、6、7、9、11、12单元课文翻译Unit 2 Bards of the Internet1. 电话的发明，产生了一个始料不及的后果，书写过时了。
诚然，全职的写字工仍然存在，包括记者、学者以及职业写手。
大型商业中心仍然很有必要保留一些能草拟备忘录、会议纪要、新闻稿或者合同的人。
但是在举笔和拿起话筒之间选择的话，大多数人都会走便道，让手指——有时还有大脑——休息片刻。
2. 与之相比，当前计算机网络上发生的现象就更为惊人了。
每个夜晚，当人们本应该看电视的时候，成千上万的计算机用户坐在键盘前，点击进入“电脑服务”、“奇才”、“美国在线”或互联网，并开始打字——发电子邮件、发布信息、聊天、夸夸其谈、谩骂，甚至创作短篇小说和诗歌。
当麦克卢汉所说的媒介正在淘汰莎士比亚时代的媒介时，网络世界正经历着18世纪以来信件书写最为迅猛的发展。
3. “我确信电子邮件和网上会议正在教会整整一代人写文章是多么有用，可以灵活到何种程度，”《旧金山纪事报》的专栏作家乔恩·卡洛尔这样写道。
石山图书出版社的编辑帕特里克·尼尔森·海顿把当今的电子公告板比作18世纪末19世纪初的“文字盒”：这是个小盒子，盒内的文章在多人间传递，每人经手时都会增加一些句子。
来自亚利桑那大学的副主编大卫·塞维尔则将网络写作喻为马克·吐温在19世纪60年代在旧金山所发现的文学景象，“当时人们将新闻报道嫁接到夸张的民俗传统故事之中，创造了新的新闻报道方式”。
更有甚者，有人想起了汤姆·潘恩和美国革命时期政治小册子作家，甚至还想起了伊丽莎白一世时期，古腾堡活字印刷术的发明，令一代英国作家沉迷在语言之中。
4. 可是这种比较又引出一个问题：如果说当今的网络写作代表了某种复兴，但为何这么多网络作品又如此糟糕呢？网络写作可能会低劣不堪：文体拖沓、漫无边际、愚蠢幼稚、不合语法、拼写糟糕、结构不当，有时甚至毫无内容可言，正如网络上典型的短信息所示：“嗨！！！1！我觉得金属乐队酷毙了！1 ！！！”5. 当然，原因之一就是电子邮件不同于常规写作。

1- We’ve been hitAdam Mayblum 过去很享受看着暴风雨抽打他办公室窗户的场景：你认为这就是权力吗？Mayblum 可能会讥笑。
我在世界贸易中心的87楼。
这就是权力。
百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻地摇晃，但它只是一种假象。
虽然它是在距离地面1,040 英尺的高空中，但是世贸中心还是相当稳固的。
在9 月的那个早上，当Mayblum感觉到毁灭性的隆隆声时，他瞥了一眼拉绳。
他们被疯狂坠入 3 英尺的任一方向。
那天早上，有数千人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难，Mayblum也是其中的一员。
尽管多达25,000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式，但另外的5,000 人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。
对于有些人来说，生死攸关的是此时此刻他们所在的地理位置---不仅是哪幢楼，哪一层，更重要的是在大楼的哪个角落。
对于有些人来说，选择使用哪一个楼梯是最基本的。
其他人所面对的则是终极的道德困境：拯救自己，还是拯救他人。
在名为戴维斯的金融服务公司里，Adam Mayblum 办公室内的混乱持续了几秒钟。
他知道他需要逃离那里。
他把T恤撕成碎片，浸泡在水中，并分发给同事，用来捂住他们的脸。
其中：有一个是戴维斯的首席交易员---哈里·拉莫斯。
Mayblum 曾与拉莫斯断断续续一起工作了14 年之久。
当他在楼梯上急速奔跑时，火花溅在了他的脚踝上。
当他冲下一段楼梯之后，他才意识到他的贸易伙伴，朱红还落在后面。
他又跑上楼，此时这个地方充满了烟和燃烧的喷气燃料。
看不到朱红的影子。
Mayblum又冲下楼梯，成功到达了78 楼，这里恰好是有一部电梯和一个楼梯的中转大厅。
他看到了一个令人放心的景象，拉莫斯已经淌进混乱的场面中，协助恐慌的工人转到安全的楼梯间。
Mayblum继续往下跑，他小腿的肌肉因抽筋而收缩。
在53层。
他碰见了一个身材粗壮的男人，他的腿无法移动了。
“你想自己过来，还是你想要我们来帮助你？”Mayblum大声喊道。

Unit4 TEXT ⅠCultural Encounters Susan Bassnett1. In what language are you usually surfing at Internet websites?2. What fun do you find on Internet?We live in an age of easy access to the rest of the world. 我们生活在一个交流非常便捷的时代Cheap flights mean that millions of people are able to visit places their parents could only dream about, while the Internet enables us to communicate with the remotest places and the traditional postal services are now referred to almost mockingly as "snail mail." 便宜的机票使得我们可以到那些我们的家长只能幻想的地方去，而网络使得我们可以跟最遥远地方的人们进行交流。
在这种情况下，传统邮政现在被称为蜗牛邮件系统。
When students go off back-packing, they can email their parents from Internet cafes in the Himalayas or from a desert oasis. 当学生们在背包远足的时候，他们可以用E-MAIL从喜马拉雅的网吧或者从沙漠里的绿洲给他们的家长发邮件。
And as for mobile phones—the clicking of text messaging at any hour of the day or night has become familiar to us all. 不管是白天还是晚上，我们也能通过手机来发短信。
Everyone, it seems, provided, of course, they can afford to do so, need never be out of touch.所有可以付的起这种方式的人都可以随时随地的获取最新信息。
Significantly also, this great global communications revolution is also linked to the expansion of English, which has now become the leading international language. 同样重要的是，全球交流的革命跟英语的普及是不可分割的。
英语现在变成领先的国际语言。
Conferences and business meetings around the globe are held in English, regardless of whether anyone present is a native English speaker. 不管与会者是否是把英语作为母语，全球不管哪个角落的会议和商业会谈都是使用的英语。
English has simply become the language that facilitates communication, and for many people learning English is an essential stepping stone on the road to success.英语已经变成一种促进交流的语言。
同时，对很多人来说，学习英语是他们通往成功道路上的奠基石。
So why, you may wonder, would anyone have misgivings about all these wonderful developments, and why does the rise of English as a global language cause feelings of uneasiness for some of us? 所以你可能会好奇为什么有些人对于这些美好的发展有所顾忌，为什么英语作为一个国际通用语言会使得有些人对英语的不适应？For there are indeed problems with the communications revolution, problems that are not only economic. 交流上的革命确实存在问题，并且这些问题并不仅仅是经济上的。
Most fundamental is the profound relationship between language and culture that lies at the heart of society and one that we overlook at our peril. 最根本的东西是，语言和文化之间的不可分割的关系是一个社会的核心，而我们忽视了一些最关键的事情。
Different cultures are not simply groups of people who label the world differently; languages give us the means to shape our views of the world and languages are different from one another. 不同的文化不仅仅是给不同组别的人贴上标签，语言是帮助我们理解世界的工具，每个语言之间都是有区别的。
We express what we see and feel through language, and because languages are so clearly culture-related, often we find that what we can say in one language cannot be expressed at all in another. 因为我们通过语言来表达我们的所见所想，而语言是跟文化密切相关的，所以有时候就可能产生我们能用一种语言表达出来的东西，是不能用另外一种语言来表达出来的。
The English word "homesickness" translates into Italian as "nostalgia," but English has had to borrow that same word to describe a different state of mind, something that is not quite homesickness and involves a kind of longing. 英语的“想家”翻译成意大利语就变成了“怀乡病”，但是英语有时候必须要用同样的词来表示另外一种意思，这种意思不是单纯的想家，而是包含了一层渴望的意思在里面。
Homesickness and nostalgia put together are almost,but not quite, the Portuguese "saudade," an untranslatable word that describes a state of mind that is not despair, angst (English borrowed that from German), sadness or regret, but hovers somewhere in and around all those words. 尽管不是同一种意思，英语的想家和怀乡病放在一起的意思还有所接近的。
但是葡萄牙语的“saudade”所表达的意思却是不能用其他语言来翻译的。
这个词表达的意思是不绝望，不愤怒，不悲伤或者后悔，它的意思是在以上这些意思之间。
The early Bible translators hit the problem of untranslatability head-on. 早期的圣经翻译者就碰到了有些意思是不可翻译的这么个问题。
How do you translate the image of the Lamb of God for a culture in which sheep do not exist? 比如你要如何把上帝的羔羊的形象翻译给一个连羊都不存在的人类文明？What exactly was the fruit that Eve picked in the Garden of Eden? 爱娃从伊甸园拿走的水果具体是什么？What was the creature that swallowed Jonah, given that whales are not given to swimming in warm, southern seas? 如果鲸鱼在温暖的南部海域是不存在的，那么吞掉约拿的生物又是什么？Faced with unsurmountable linguistic problems, translators negotiated the boundaries between languages and came up with a compromise. 面对这些不能克服的语言问题，翻译家在各语言之间反复琢磨，然后想出了一个折中的方案。
Compromising is something that speakers of more than one language understand. 这个折中的方案是用不同种语言交流的人们都能理解的说法。
When there are no words in another language for what you want to say, you make adjustments and try to approximate. 当你想表达的单词在另外一种语言里不存在的时候，你要想办法来调整接近原来单词的意思。
English and Welsh speakers make adjustments regarding the colour spectrum in the grey/green/blue/brown range, since English has four words and Welsh has three. 说英语的和讲威尔士语的在灰，绿，蓝，棕表达光谱的单词上进行了一些调整。
