Unit7Culture新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译
Unit7Culture新编⼤学英语第⼆版第⼆册课⽂翻译Unit 7 CultureBridging Cultural Gaps Gracefully[1] Why is it that when you study a foreign language, you never learn the little phrases that let you slip into a culture without all your foreignness exposed? Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrase for greeting people; but as an American, I constantly found myself tongue-tied when it came to seeing guests off at the door. An abrupt goodbye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from these books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and trying to find words that would smooth over the visitors' leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my fluster, I often hid behind my Chinese husband's graciousness.[2] Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relations and sent people off with a feeling of mission not only accomplished but surpassed.[3] Partings for the Chinese involve a certain amount of ritual and a great deal of one-upmanship. Although I'm not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I've had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest that accompany a leave-taking.[4] The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest feasible point—down a flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I've sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeinga guest off, since he's gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.[5] For a less import ant or perhaps a younger guest, he may simply say, “I won't see you off, all right?” And of course the guest assures him that he would never think of putting him to the trouble of seeing him off. “Don't see me off! Don't see meoff!”[6] That's all very well, but when I'm the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless, and my hostess or host, or both, insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with our going through the “Don't bother to see me off” ritual at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply put to the discomfort of having to flee after me. Better to accept the inevitable.[7] Besides, that's going against Chinese custom, because haste is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? “Go slowly.” Not farewell or Godspeed, but “Go slowly.” To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your step”or some other such caution, but translated literally it means “Go slow.”[8] That same “slow” is used in another polite express ion used by the host at the end of a particularly large and delicious meal to assure his guests what a poor and inadequatehost he has been.[9] American and Chinese cultures are at polar opposites. An American hostess, complimented for her cooking skills, is likely to say, “Oh, I'm so glad that you liked it. I cooked it especially for you.” Not so a Chinese host or hostess (often the husband does the fancy cooking), who will instead apologize for giving you “nothing” even slightly edible and for not showing you enough honor by providing proper dishes.[10] The same rules hold true with regard to children. American parents speak proudly of their children's accomplishments, telling how Johnny made the school team or Jane made the honor roll. Not so Chinese parents, whose children, even if at the top of their class in school, are always so “naughty”, never studying, never listening to their elders, and so forth.[11] The Chinese take pride in “modesty”; the Americans in “straightforwardness”. That modesty has left many a Chinese hungry at an American table, for Chinese politeness calls for three refusals before one accepts an offer, and the American hosts takea “no” to mean “no”, whether it's the first, second, or third time.[12] Recently, a member of a delegation sent to China by a large American corporation complained to me about how the Chinese had asked them three times if they would be willing to modify some proposal, and each time the Americans had said “no” clearly and definitely. My friend was angry because the Chinese had not taken their word the first time. I recognized the problem immediately and wondered why the Americans had not studied up on cultural differences before coming to China. It would have saved them a lot of confusion and frustration in their negotiations.[13] Once you've learned the signals and how to respond, life becomes much easier. When guests come, I know I should immediately ask if they'd like a cup of tea. They will respond, “Please don't bother,” which is my signal to fetch tea.从容得体德跨越⽂化沟壑1 在外语学习中，学会⼀些简单的词组就能让你不知不觉地进⼊另⼀种⽂化，⽽丝毫不暴露你作为⼀个外国⼈的⾝份，但你为什么总是学不会呢？每本汉语课本都，⼀律从问候语开始的。

5 “Yes, yes, of course,” murmured the company, more and more agitated.
6 “Seldom has a city gained such world renown, and I am proud and happy to welcome you to Hiroshima, a town known throughout the world for its – oysters.”
Warming Up
HARRY TRUMAN: “The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan’s power to make war.” American planes dropped one of the bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and another on Nagasaki 3 days later. Exactly how many people in those 2 cities died from the force and heat of the blasts or later from radiation may never be known. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Japan estimates that between 150,000 and 246,000 died within 2 to 4 months of the bombings. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, 6 days after the Nagasaki bombing.

全新版（第二版）大学英语综合教程第二册课文翻译（最新全）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 W AYS 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。

Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female
1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。
美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。
在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。
2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。
这是为什么？因为“众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。
若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。
3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。
最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。
“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？”对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。
很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。
4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。
5. 请允许我解释一下。
我活跃政界二十余年。
除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。
6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。
她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。
这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。
最高奖励。
担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。
7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。
竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。
8. 四年之后，当我竞选国会议员时，性别才真正成了我的主要障碍。
我所在党派的成员还召开了秘密会议，讨论如何阻止我参加竞选。
9. 我的竞争对手、著名人权运动领袖詹姆士·法默努力向大众展示一个黑人男子汉的形象；他坐着带有扩音器的卡车在选区里巡回，车上载满了留着非洲发式、穿着短袖花套衫、留着胡子的年轻人。
电视台的摄制人员对我视而不见，但他们对一个非常重要的数据毫不知情，而对此我和我的竞选经纪人韦斯利·麦克唐纳·霍尔德却很清楚。
我所在的这个选区内，登记投票的男女选民的比例是1:2.5。
而且那些妇女都是有组织的，这其中包括教师家长协会、教会团体、扑克牌俱乐部以及其他社会服务团体。
我去向她们寻求帮助。
法默先生到现在仍然不知道自己败因何在。
10. 当年轻优秀的女大学毕业生找工作时，为什么第一个问题总是“你会打字吗？”这个问题的背后是一部对女性的歧视史。
女性为什么被认定是秘书，而非管理者？为什么她们只能当图书馆管理员和教师，不能当医生和律师？因为人们认定她们与男人不仅有差异，而且比他们低等。
快乐的家庭主妇和开心的黑人都是被这种歧视定型化的人物。
11. 妇女甚至还没有达到黑人正在达到的。
象征性的平等水平。
最高法院没有女法官；只有两名妇女曾担任过内阁职位，而现在则无一人在位；我们的驻外大使中只有两位女性。
但是妇女却担任着绝大多数低薪职务，干着卑微低贱、没有意义且毫无前途的工作。
即便她们获得更好的职位，她们的薪酬也总是比做同样工作的男性要低。
12. 若说这不是歧视，那你说是什么？
13. 几年前，我向一位政治领袖谈及提名一位有前途的青年女性当候选人的事。
“干吗非要花费时间和精力去培养一个女的？”他问我，还说：“你清楚她会在我们让她竞选市长时选择退出，去生儿育女。
”
14. 有关我，不少人也说过类似的话。
每当我试图在政治上更上一层楼的时候，许多人会劝我回去教书，说那才是妇女的职业，应该把政治留给男人。
我热爱教书，在我确信这个国家再也不需要女人作贡献时，我就会立即回去教书。
15. 当这个富裕的国家里没有孩子饿着肚子上床睡觉时，我也许会回去教书；当每个孩子都能上好学校就读时，我也许会回去教书。
当我们不再将财富耗费在军事装备上以杀戮人民时，当我们不再容忍对少数族群的歧视时，当惩治住房不公和雇佣不公的法律得以实施而非规避时，那时我在政界也就无事可做了。
16. 但在此之前——我们都知道这既不是今年也不是明年——我们需要更多的妇女投身于政治，因为我们女人可以作出特殊的贡献。
我希望自己成功的例子能说服其他妇女投身政治——不仅是装信件，而是竞选职位。
17. 也正是妇女将同情、宽容、远见、耐心和坚毅带到了政府之中——这是我们与生俱来或者是在男权压制下不得不培养出来的品质。
一个国家的妇女通过她们自己的生活塑造着国家的道德、宗教和政治。
当前，或许我们国家在政治上比在其他任何方面都更需要妇女的理想和决心。
