大学英语精读第一册课文翻译

第一单元 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种: 1.不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learnthenewsorsecret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后在反复地听。 你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的xx。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某

Unite 1 Paraphrasing (1) This ability to take familiar bits of language and to combine them to make new words and sentences is what sets language apart from other ways that human beings use to communicate. =Because of the existence of morphological and syntactic rules, language enables to create new words and sentences making use of available materials. This is not possible with other ways that we use to communicate, such as the use of facial expressions or bodily gestures. (2) We have to beware the word ‘language’. It’s often used in a vivid way to mean any kind of connection between people. =We have to be cautious about the use of “language” because it is often used figuratively, refering to any means of communication (body language) or even the basis of mutual understanding (speaking the same language). (3) We learn many rules of grammar in order to express different meanings, such as changing the order of words in a sentence. But we don’t have rules which change the order of our facial expressions to express different meanings. =Facial expressions are different from real language in that there are no grammatical rules such as word order to help us express different meanings when we communicate with facial expressions. (4) If I have the ability, I can paint them, draw them, sculpt them, dance them, compose them into a symphony or a ballet or a piece of jazz, and express myself in all the ways that are called “arts and crafts”. = “Arts and crafts” are also means of communication. If I have the ability, I can express my thoughts and feelings in painting, drawing, sculpture, dance and music. (5) In our everyday lives we produce and comprehend language with such apparent ease that we take it for granted. Yet the ease with which we use language belies a level of complexity of immense proportions.

Unit3 Text I I.Writing Skills 1)The text is a piece of narrative writing and organized in the usual chronological order.But at the start of the text,the author used the flashback technique by beginning with the signing of the will and then turned back to the classification of Shakespeare’s life into several periods based on a time order.The author also used the“cyclic return”in the writing by using the key word“signature”both in the first paragraph and the last paragraph.The two techniques helped the author to inform the reader about the life of Shakespeare most effectively. 2)The author used many adjectives ending with“–ing”,superlatives and some emphatic sentence patterns to achieve an“emotional”tone,trying to arouse the strong feelings in readers. https://www.360docs.net/doc/413051700.html,nguage Points 1.The way to express date e.g.in May;in1999;in June,1998;on August3rd,1998 2.number-year/month-old+n. e.g.He has a two-month-old baby.

Lesson one 1.Metonymy (转喻). ①t will lecture on disinterested purity while its neck is being remorselessly twisted toward a skirt. (Para. 23) skirt. ----girls its------ Mr. Houghton In metonymy, an idea is evoked or named by means of term designating some associated notion. “It” stands for “thought” in grammar, but actually refers to Mr. Houghton, and it is vulgar to refer to a girl as a skirt. ②The burglar was in Sally’s mind all day long. (burglar=some idea of the burglar) Eg: Democracy favors the vote rather than the bullet. (Vote=election, bullet=military solutions) “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” (Mao Z edong refers it to the militaryrevolution) Bill Gates is the king of operating systems worldwide. (Bill Gates = Microsoft) The pen is mightier than the sword. (pen = writer; sword = fighter) 2Synecdoche (提喻) Synecdoche can be included in metonymy, and it refers to the substitution of the part for the whole or of the whole for the part. If we were counting heads, the Buddhists were the boys for my money. (Para. 27) (head = person) There are two mouths t o feed in my family. (mouth = person) God bless the hands t hat prepared this food. (hand = person) 3.rony (反语) Irony is the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. Technically, it is about as proficient as most businessmen’s golf, as honest as most politicians’ intentions, or as coherent as most books that get written. (Para. 23) Mr. Houghton was given to high-minded monologues about the good life,sexless and full of duty. (Para. 20) Hyperbole (夸张) It is the deliberate use of overstatement or exaggeration to achieve emphasis. For instance. You could hear the wind, trapped in his chest and struggling with all the unnatural impediments. His body would reel with shock and his face go white at the unaccustomed visitation. He would stagger back to his desk and collapse there, useless for the rest of the morning. (Para. 19) Smile (明喻) It makes a comparison between two unlike elements having at least one quality or characteristic in common. To make th e comparison, words like “as”, “as... as”, “as if” and “like” are used to transfer the quality we associate with one to the other. They all came tumbling down like so many rotten apples off a tree. (Para. 31) Man enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill. (Para. 24)

L1 1.Poverty being caused in the bed meant that the rich were not responsible for either its creation or its amelioration. ===Since poverty was caused by overproduction of children, the rich were not to blame for the existence of poverty so they should not be asked to undertake the task of solving the problem. 2In the course of the present century, however, Social Darwinism came to be considered a bit too cruel. ===People began to reject Social Darwinism because it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose the treasured. 3It is then argued that the government is inherently incompetent, except as regards weapons design and procurement and the overall management of the Pentagon. ===they pointed out the government is incapable except on designing and purchasing of weapons and on the overall management of the Pentagon. 4Being incompetent and ineffective, it must not be asked to succor the poor; it will only louse things up or make things worse. ===since the government is incapable and inefficient , it should not been asked to undertake the task of aiding the poor. Otherwise, it will make a mess of the job or make the situation worse. 5Finally, when all else fails, we resort to simple psychological denial. ===when all the formulas are in vain, we just simply give a blind eye to the poverty. 6This is a psychic tendency that in various manifestations is common to us all. ===we all have the tendency to close our eyes to unpleasant things or refuse to think about them .this tendency may take different forms. L2、1As we drove off, Arcadia with its dirt streets and free-roaming cattle, its barns and outhouses, looked liked a metropolis. ===at the turn of the last century, compared with the unsettled areas the author’s family later lived in, Arcadia seemed almost like a major city. 1My father and grandmother had delivered her without mishap. ===my little sister was cared by my father and grandmother so well that she got no illness. L5 1.the national rejection of dogmatic preconceptions about the nature of the social and economic order. ==as a nation ,America has refused to cling to certain rigid principles concerning social and economic development .America has been adaptable and flexible. 2Nor can one suggest that Americans have been consistently immune to the ideological temptation ==no one can say that Americans have never been tempted by the approach of understanding, preserving or transforming the world according to rigid dogmas. 3and any intellect so shaped was bound to have certain vulnerability to secular ideology ever after. ==A mind influenced by Calvinist theology would surely find it somewhat difficult to resist other temptations to ideological thinking. 4Pragmatism is no more wholly devoid of abstractions than ideology is wholly devoid of experience ==Abstract ideas have a place in pragmatism just as experience has a role in ideology. 5As an ideologist, however, Jefferson is today remote —a figure not of present concern but of historical curiosity. ==as a man following a fixed set of beliefs ,Jefferson is only an interesting historical figure. 6whose central dogma is confided to the custody of an infallible priesthood ==His beliefs are out of date and are irrelevant to present reality,the essence of the theoretical system is put in hands of a small group of people who can never go wrong. 7where free men may find partial truths,but where no mortal man will ever get an absolute grip on Absolute Truth ==in the universe a person whose mind is unconstrained may be able to discover relative truths but no man on earth can claim that he has already grasped the one and only Truth. 8But ideology is a drug; no matter how much it is exposed by experience, the craving for it still persists. ==Ideology has the characteristic of a narcotic.In spite of the fact that it has been proven wrong many times by experience,people still long to commit themselves to ideology. 9 the only certainty in an absolute system is the certainty of absolute abuse. ==the only thing that is sure of a despotic system is its unrestricted exercise of power. 10The distinctive human triumph, in their judgment, lies in the capacity to understand the frailty of human striving but to strive nonetheless. ==the most outstanding achievement of humanity is they know that no matter how hard they try ,they cannot achieve Absolute Truth,yet they continue to make great efforts and refuse to give up. 英翻汉 1、The American experience was unique in a number of ways. 美国的经验在许多方面都是独特的。 2、The country was blessed by notable advantages— above all, by the fact that population and resources was obviously not the only factor in American development 这个国家有着得天独厚的优势--主要是人口相对稀 少而资源十分丰富。 3、It arose originally from a philosophical rather than an economic commitment 它源于对四项原则的信仰,而不是出于经济利益的 追求。 4、We have found no better way than democracy to fulfill man’s talents and release his energies. 我们发现民主是使人的才智得到充分施展、人的能 量得以充分发挥的最好方式。 5、In the record of this conflict, ideology has attracted some of the strongest intelligences mankind has produced 在意识形态体系与经验主义斗争的历史上,意识形 态体系曾吸收了人类历史上一些聪明绝顶的人物 6、In its finest hours, the Unite States has, so to speak, risen above ideology. 在她处于最佳时期时,美国可以说超越了所有的意 识形态体系。 7、that government was best which governed least; 政府管得越少越好 8、Indeed, the whole ideological enterprise contradicted Jefferson’s temper, which was basically flexible and experimental 说实在的,杰斐逊医生在意识形态体系上所做的努 力与他的性格是相矛盾的。他的性格特征基本上是 灵活的,从经验出发的。 9、Indeed, I would suggest that we might well banish some overloaded words from intellectual discourse 我甚至建议在思想界和学术界的讨论中摒弃某些 用滥了的词汇。这些词语只能是头脑发热,而不会
