It was the last day of the year a nd a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strik e twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twe lve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.Lesson 10 Not for jazz不适于演奏爵士乐We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord(翼琴). It was made i n Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the living-room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many year s ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She st ruck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my fathe r's.Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another礼尚往来I was having dinner at a restaurant when Harry Steele came in.

After I had left a small village in the s outh of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me.I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journe y. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!Lesson 15 Good news佳音The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when.I went into his office.

Y ou will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite.

This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cann ot fail to obey it!Lesson 17 Always young青年常驻My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In sp ite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have t o take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In th e play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, 'My dear, it must b e terrible to be grown up!'Lesson18 He often does this!他经常干这种事！After I had had lunch at a village inn, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a c hair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the inn-ke eper came in. 'Did you have a good meal?' he asked. 'Yes, thank you,' I answered,'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.' The inn-keeper smiled and imme diately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me. 'I'm very sorry,' he said ' My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does t his.'Lesson19 Sold out票已售完'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.'I hurried to the ticket-office. 'May I have two tickets please ?' I asked.'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.Just then, a man hurried to the ticket-office.'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.'Certainly,' the girl said.'Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance.'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.Lesson20 One man in a boat独坐孤舟Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. B ut this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything-no t even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go hom e with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.' It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!Lesson21 Mad or not?是不是疯了？Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes c an be heard night and day. The airport was built during the war, but for some rea son it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundr ed people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of t he few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passin g plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.Lesson22 A glass envelope玻璃信封My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piec e of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle in to the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a l etter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. Howev er, they have decided to use the post-office. Letters will cost a litt1e more, bu t they will certainly travel faster.Lesson23 A new house新居I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surp rise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had b egun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some peopl e. It must be the only modern house in the district.Lesson24 It could be worse不幸中之万幸I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset.' I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupt ed by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It con tained $5o. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!’欢迎您的下载，资料仅供参考！致力为企业和个人提供合同协议，策划案计划书，学习资料等等打造全网一站式需求。

新概念英语第二册课文及翻译New Concept English Book 2: Texts and TranslationUnit 1 – Please call me BethIn this unit, we will explore the first text from the second book of New Concept English. The text is titled "Please call me Beth." The story follows the protagonist, John White, as he encounters a misunderstanding with a woman named Beth.Text:John White works in a big office, and his office is on the tenth floor of the building. Every morning he takes the lift from the entrance hall to the tenth floor. In the evening, he takes the lift from the tenth floor to the entrance hall.One morning, John meets a lady in the entrance hall. She smiles at him, and John smiles at her. She is quite young and very pretty, and John likes the way she smiles at him. He wants to know her, but he does not know her name. Every morning, she is there in the entrance hall, but he does not know her name. He wants to say something to her, but he does not know how to begin.One day, John sees her in the office. She is sitting at a desk near the door. There is a card on the desk, and on the card is written "Beth." So John knows her name now. Every morning as usual, John says, "Good morning" to her and she smiles at him.But John wants to say more than "Good morning." He wants to say, "How are you, Miss Smith?" or "It's a nice day, isn't it?" or something like that. But he can never begin. Every morning he says, "Good morning," and she says, "Good morning" —and that is all.One day, as usual, John says, "Good morning" to her and she smiles at him. Then she says something quickly, and John does not understand her. "I'm sorry," he says. "I don't understand." But she does not say anything, and she quickly walks away.John is very worried. "She thinks I'm a fool," he thinks. "And she's right. I'm a fool."One evening when John is in bed, he thinks, "I'll take a dictionary to the office tomorrow. I'll learn 'How are you today?' in ten different languages. And I'll learn 'It's a nice day, isn't it?' in ten different languages, too."The next morning, John sees the lady in the entrance hall. He smiles at her, and she smiles at him. Then he says something in German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian. But the lady does not understand him. She looks surprised and she walks quickly away.John is very worried. "She thinks I'm a bigger fool than I am," he thinks.On his way home that evening, John sees a small shop near his office. At the back of the shop, he sees some little boxes. On the boxes, there are some books, and the books are language books. "Learn any language in ten days," says a notice on the boxes.John goes into the shop and comes out five minutes later with a little box. On the box, it says, "Learn Russian in Seven Days." He carries the box proudly into his flat that evening."Which language do you want to learn, dear?" his wife asks. "Russian," says John. "Russian in seven days!" He opens the box and takes out the little book. "Russian in Seven Days," it says on the cover.The next morning, John goes to the office with the book in his pocket. He meets the lady in the entrance hall and he smiles at her. He wants to say something in Russian but he has forgotten the words."I'm sorry," he says. "I've forgotten the words. Can you help me, please?"The lady laughs and laughs. She laughs so much that she has to sit down on a chair."I'm sorry," says John. "I'm sorry, but I want to learn. Can you help me, please?""Of course, I can," says the lady. "I want to learn Russian too."John is very surprised. "But you speak Russian," he says."No, I don't," says the lady. "I'm a foreigner. I speak French. I'm from Paris."Translation (Chinese):封面：新概念英语第二册课文及翻译第一课：请叫我贝丝在这一课中，我们将探讨新概念英语第二册的第一篇课文。

新概念英语第二册课文翻译Lesson 1: A private conversation 私人谈话I was having a conversation with a friend in a restaurant. The restaurant was crowded and noisy, making it difficult to hear each other. My friend suggested that we speak louder, but I hesitated. Speaking louder would attract attention from other diners, and I preferred to have a private conversation.Lesson 2: The new neighbor 新邻居A new neighbor had moved into the house next to mine.

New Concept English Book 2: Texts and Translations
Introduction:
New Concept English is a popular English learning series designed for non-native speakers. This article will provide a comprehensive review of the texts and translations found in the second book of the series. Each text will be presented with its respective translation for better understanding and comprehension.
Text 1: "A Private Conversation"
Tom: What time will you be at home tonight, Ann?
Ann: About 7 o'clock. Why?
Tom: Well, there's a football match on TV at 7:30, and I thought you might like to watch it with me.
Ann: That's very kind of you, but I'm not a football fan.
Translation 1: "一次私人谈话"
汤姆：安妮，你今晚几点回家？
安妮：大约七点。
怎么了？
汤姆：嗯，七点半有一场足球比赛要在电视上播放，我想你可能会喜欢跟我一起看。
安妮：你人真好，但是我不是足球迷。
Text 2: "Flying Cats"
There is a zoo in the United States with a most unusual exhibit. It is not a lion, tiger or elephant. These are all very normal in a zoo. But at this zoo, there are elephants that fly through the air. At first, visitors refuse to believe it. 'You are joking!' they say. But it is true. The elephants fly gracefully through the air. This is how they do it: the zookeepers stand them on a high wall. One says 'Flying elephants - fly!' and immediately they all jump off.
For a few seconds, they fall like stones. Then suddenly, they spread out their huge ears, which are big enough to hold a plane, and they fly slowly and gracefully through the air.
Translation 2: "飞翔的大象"
美国有一家动物园，展出的动物非常不寻常。
它们既不是狮子、老虎，也不是大象。
这些在动物园里都很普通。
而在这家动物园，有些
大象可以在空中飞行。
开头时，游客们不愿相信。
“你在开玩笑！”他
们说道。
但这是真的。
大象在空中优雅地飞行。
他们是这样做到的：
动物管理员把它们放在高墙上。
一个管理员喊：“飞翔的大象——飞！”然后它们全部纷纷跳下。
几秒钟内，它们像石块一样下落。
然后突然，它们伸开巨大的耳朵，耳朵足够大可以装下一架飞机，然后缓慢而优
雅地在空中飞行。
Text 3: "The Lost Passport"
International travel may be easier than ever before, but things can still go wrong. Take the case of Mrs. Shrowdy. She flew from London to Amsterdam on business. Her flight was delayed, so she went to the airport
café to wait. She talked to a very pleasant young man while she was having her coffee and slice of cake. He told her that he would look after her handbag while she went to the restroom. When Mrs. Shrowdy came back, both the young man and her handbag had disappeared. She called the police immediately. They arrived within minutes and took down all the details.
'Could you describe him?' the officer asked. Mrs. Shrowdy shook her head. 'I can't remember what he looks like. I only know that I never want to see him again!'
Translation 3: "失去护照"
国际旅行可能比以往任何时候都更容易，但事情仍然可能出错。
以Shrowdy 夫人为例。
她因公务从伦敦飞往阿姆斯特丹。
她的航班延误了，所以她去机场咖啡厅等待。
她在喝咖啡和享受一块蛋糕时，与一个非常友善的年轻人聊天。
他告诉她在她去洗手间时会照看她的手提包。
当 Shrowdy 夫人回来时，那个年轻人和她的手提包都消失了。
她立即报警。
警察在几分钟内到达并记录下所有细节。
“你能描述一下他吗？”警官问道。
Shrowdy 夫人摇了摇头。
“我记不清他是什么样子了。
我只知道我永远不想再见到他！”
