【艺术类院校大学英语第二册】课文翻译及课后答案
南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译（1~10）第一单元你去过古玩店吗？如果你能像买家那样博学，你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。
幸运的发现古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。
高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。
而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。
人们还常常有希望在发霉，阴暗，杂乱无章，迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的，一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。
无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。
一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。
要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。
他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。
我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。
他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。
一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。
由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。
上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。
古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。
经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。
箱内东西令人失望。
除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。
弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。
古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。
弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。
那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。
第二单元无论是男人、女人还是儿童，都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。
时装流行的原理时尚一直在变化和发展。
时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。
这些时尚原理保持不变。

Translation of Text A男孩与银行办事员菲利普·罗斯我有一个朋友，他对银行深恶痛绝。
“银行就像糖果店或杂货店一样，不过是一家商店而已，”他说，“唯一不同的是，银行经营的碰巧是钱，而这些钱原本就是你的。
要是让银行去卖钱包或是贴身腰包，他们也许办起事来会少一些教堂做派。
”有一天当我走进一家位于纽约西区的银行营业所时，就不禁想起了这个朋友。
这家营业所不大，但灯光亮得刺眼。
我是来开设一个活期账户的。
当时正值午饭时间，唯一当班的办事员是一个四十来岁的黑人，一头短发吹得很平整，蓄着淡淡的一字胡，穿着一身笔挺的棕色西装。
从上到下都让人觉得是一位穿着考究的权威人士。
此时这位办事员正站在一个小柜台后面，面对着一个白人男孩。
那男孩身上一件尖领的套头衫，下面是一条卡布其裤子，脚上穿一双平底鞋。
他有一头淡淡的金发，我想我之所以格外注意到他是因为他看上去更像是预科学校里的孩子，而不是一个站在西区银行里的客户。
5 接下来发生的事情让我继续关注这个孩子。
6 他手拿一张摊开的储蓄账户存折，一脸绝望的表情。
“可是我不明白，”他对办事员说，“我自己开的账户，为什么我自己不能取钱呢？”7 “我已经和你解释过了，”办事员对他说，“十四岁的孩子没有父母开的字条是不允许取钱的。
”8 “可那实在是没有道理，”男孩说，这是他的声音都发颤了，“这是我的钱。
是我存进去的。
这是我的存折。
”9 “这我知道，”办事员说，“但那时规定。
我很抱歉。
”10 他就面带着微笑转向了我。
“我能为您效劳吗，先生？”11 我丝毫没有犹豫。
“我本打算开一个新账户的，”我说道，“但是在我看到这里发生的一切以后，我想我改注意了。
”12 “对不起，我不明白您的意思？”我说，“如果我对这里发生的事情没理解错的话，你是说这个男孩按年龄可以在你们的银行里存钱，但是却不能够取钱。
而这是不是他的钱或者是不是他的账户似乎都不存在疑问，那么你们银行所谓的政策显然是太荒谬了。
