“懦夫”是赢家，“硬汉”是输家
“如果你第一次没有成功，那就再试一次吧，”喜剧演员W C菲尔德斯说，“如果还是没有成功，那就放弃吧。傻瓜一样地不肯放弃是毫无意义的。”
嗯，是的，在某种程度上是这样的，但是我们都知道放弃有个正确时机和错误时机的问题。根据新的研究，知道什么时候放弃不可能实现的目标的人，即所谓的“懦夫”，其身心要比不惜任何代价而坚持下去的“硬汉”健康。
自从制宪元勋们来到美国，我们的孩子们就一直被灌输在面对生活中的困难时坚持不懈的价值。这种永不言败的精神在一句19世纪的名言中得到了最佳体现：“如果你第一次没有成功，那就再试一次吧。”可要试多少次再放弃才比较合适呢？
有很多研究都是关于这个问题的，尤其是关于决心与健康之间可能存在关系的问题。一方面，从长远来看，坚持和自律似乎增加了你成功的几率，同时，个人的成功与身体的健康也似乎密切相关。想想你所知道的成功人士，回顾一下他们的一生。他们总是很清楚自己的人生方向吗？既然现在已经成功了，他们就幸福、健康吗？有些人也许是的。
然而，如果成功是很不确定的，那又该怎么办呢？例如，一个普通运动员想成为奥运会金牌获得者。太过于坚持有可能会对你的健康产生负面影响吗？
通过一系列的心理学实验，科学家格雷戈里·米勒和卡斯滕·罗奇提出了一种区分“硬汉”和“懦夫”这两类人的方法。研究表明，“懦夫”通常比“硬汉”健康。米勒和罗奇针对皮肤病、睡眠不好和头疼等相对轻微的疾病做了研究，发现“懦夫”患病的几率比“硬汉”低。此外，“硬汉”长时间处于压力之下，体内一种蛋白质的含量处于更高水平，这可能意味着他们患有严重的疾病，包括糖尿病和心脏病这些致命的疾病。
科学家们也注意到，“硬汉”和“懦夫”的区别还在于在放弃某些重要的东西后他们是否愿意追求新的目标。他们发现，那些迅速重返生活的人有着更强的目标性，而且很少去想过去了的事情。设定新目标让他们免受失败情绪的影响，这对那些难以承认失败的“硬汉”们尤为重要。
那么，为什么“硬汉”们最后会说“够了，够了”呢？实际上，他们似乎是经历了轻度的消沉才恢复了体力。一些人会经历一段消极期，在此期间他们什么事都不做。但是从积极的方面来看，他们被迫停下来，重新评估自己的生活。渐渐地，他们对世界的态度变得更实际。从人类进化论的角度来说，科学家们认为，消沉在告诉我们要放慢节奏，审时度势，谨慎小心。抑郁实际上能让我们大多数人放弃不切实际的争夺奥运会金牌的念头，从而有助于保护人类。
给自己设定目标肯定是很重要的。对于年轻人来说，这是他们在世上确立个人特质的一部分。但是随着年龄的增长，当我们发现要么实现不了这些目标，要么被别的更重要的目标吸引了，我们就会调整期望或者放弃这些目标。我们因为更想照料新组建的家庭而放弃了辉煌的职业计划。我们因为要生存而选择停止了学业。结果，我们在生活中发现了更可行的目标，它们比之前的更适合我们的现状。所以，当我们从梦想中走出的同时，我们也长大了。
也许我们应该重写那句名言。“如果你第一次没成功，那就再试一次吧。即使你又失败了，你也不会总失败的。听从身心的指引。那是你作为一个人可以找到成功的地方，那是
人类赖以生存的地方。”

心理对生理的影响——安慰剂效应
迈克尔是当地医院的常客，他经常半夜里来到医院，抱怨自己头疼得厉害，要求打一针，这种药以前对他很有用。一天晚上，值班医生给他打的不是那种药，而是一针生理盐水——盐水而已，竟然起作用了。医生对他说明了，以为这样能使他相信他的问题是心理上的。但迈克尔却说：“我下次可以用这种新药吗？它真的很有效！”
迈克尔的这种现象被称为安慰剂效应，即某种虚假的东西——在这个病例中是生理盐水——因为某个人相信它，就似乎成真的了。在这个案例中，安慰剂效应从两个方面起了作用。第一，医生用它来证明精神力量对迈克尔身体的作用；第二，尽管医生作了解释，即使药的效果是想象出来的，迈克尔还是很相信它，连生理上的痛苦也渐渐消除了。
然而，安慰剂效应只是一种更广泛的、被称为身心效应现象的一部分。身心效应是指信念和恐惧对生理健康的影响，它被描述成希望的一种特殊形式。几个世纪以来，内科医生和大多数公众都意识到良好的情绪的重要性，我们都在有意或无意中了解到我们的思想、感情和行为是怎么来让我们感觉更良好，同时也了解到怎样通过某些策略来对抗疲惫和压力，如调整呼吸，让自己放松。
然而，安慰剂效应仍然是身心效应中最神秘的地方之一。事实上，它有各种各样的用处。具体来说，白色糖片的安慰剂效应比绿色糖片差，当然糖片没有什么治疗伤病的特性。胶囊比片剂的效果好。一天一片不如一天三片效果好。贵的片剂疗效比便宜的好。打一针要比片剂或胶囊更能给人留下强烈印象，因此疗效要比安慰剂药片好。外科安慰手术是安慰治疗中的上策，其实外科医生只在病人身上开了刀，其他什么也没有做。
病人的反应让我们注意到安慰剂效应远不止身心健康这一范畴，还包括品牌效应或文化联想这些方面。一项实验表明，当病人拿到阿斯匹林药片，一个装在贴有品牌标签的瓶子里，一个装在没有贴标签的瓶子里，如果病人认得那个牌子，药的疗效会更好，即使两瓶药的有效
成分完全一样。
治疗焦虑症的药片通常都是绿色的，因为绿色和平静、平和有关；止痛药则常常以红色和橙色的盒子包装。安慰剂效应超越了药物的化学疗效：它在形式上和文化方面所起的治疗意义更为重要。
此外，既然安慰剂实际上是虚假的东西，它造成了一个道德上的两难境地：医生应该欺骗他们的病人吗？欺骗的话当然会破坏我们对于药物的信念，并且会挑战医生的行为准则。至少迈克尔的医生在治疗后向他坦白了。但她一开始该不该这么做呢？
对身心效应最新的认识让医生和病人知道，他们之间的关系经历了一个变化。这种关系不再仅仅局限于人体对化学药物的反应，而是变成了医生与病人互动的人际关系。医生是照顾和帮助我们的人。正是这种关系能向我们解释病因，告诉我们怎么才能康复。
我们得到了希望、支持，感受到人与人之间的温暖，治疗的意义变得比化学作用更重要了，这可能会促成真正的反应：我们的脉搏率下降了，我们放松下来，压力也降低了。
一旦医生开始利用安慰剂效应，而且病人对此有了反应，整个社会就会更清楚地意识到身心效应的广泛程度。在这样一个社会中，普通人也就会更清楚地认识到情感的健康问题，以及情感健康对于生理健康的影响。当所有这一切都成了大家的共识，整个社会也会变得更加健康。

Directions:
You're allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I've done it hundreds of time.“ You'd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
1. 坚强的意志是成功的重要保证；
2. 意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命；
3. 学生也是这样，不刻苦学习，终究不会成为有用之才。
注：本题为2011年12月四级考试真题There is an old saying: where there is a will, there is a way. It tells us that a strong will is the most essential quality that anyone who wants to achieve success. It can contribute a lot to one’s success.
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
Although “All roads lead to Rome”, none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled with obstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucial moment, strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact, the ability to work through difficult situation and unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In other words, if we want to realize life’s goal, we must keep forging ahead w ith strong consciousness.
From what has been discussed above, we can see that the establishment of tough determination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will, including our knowledge, we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do, as long as we stick to and do not give up easily, we will realize the goal at last.
Unit-6-Food新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译
Unit 6 Food Food and Culture [1] We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food. [2] Some people in Africa think African termites make a delicious meal. Many other people would probably be sick if they had to eat termites, but one hundred grams of termites contain more than twice as many calories and almost twice as much protein as one hundred grams of cooked hamburger. [3] However, food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. [4] But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. T aboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not

大学英语精读1课文翻译 Unit1 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。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．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，然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 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随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读，因为这在任何时间，任何地方，不需要搭档就可以做到。例如，你可以看着图片或身边的物件，试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后，假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家，试着用英语把它表演出来。

Unit 6 Risks新编大学英语第二版第四册课文翻译
Unit 6 Risks Risks and You At some time or other, all of us have played the part of a hypochondriac, imagining that we have some terrible disease on the strength of very minor symptoms. Some people just have to hear about a new disease and they begin checking themselves to see if they may be suffering from it. But fear of disease is not our only fear, and neither is risk of disease the only risk we run. Modern life is full of all manner of threats-to our lives, our peace of mind, our families, and our future. And from these threats come questions that we must pose to ourselves: Is the food I buy safe? Are toys for my children likely to hurt them? Should my family avoid smoked meats? Am I likely to be robbed on vacations? Our uncertainties multiply indefinitely. Anxiety about the risks of life is a bit like hypochondria; in both, the fear or anxiety feeds on partial information. But one sharp difference exists between the two. The hypochondriac can usually turn to a physician to get a definitive clarification of the situation-either you have the suspected disease or you don't. It is much more difficult when anxiety about other forms of risk is concerned, because with many risks, the situation is not as simple. Risks are almost always a matter of probability rather than certainty. You may ask, "Should I wear a seat belt?" If you' re going to have a head-on collision, of course. But what if you get hit from the side and end up trapped inside the vehicle, unable to escape because of a damaged seat belt mechanism? So does this mean that you should spend the extra money for an air bag? Again, in head-on collisions, it may well save your life. But what if the bag accidentally inflates while you are driving down the highway, thus causing an accident that would never have occurred otherwise? All of this is another way of saying that nothing we do is completely safe. There are risks, often potentially serious ones, associated with every hobby we have, every job we take, every food we eat-in other words, with every action. But the fact that there are risks associated with everything we are going to do does not, or should not, reduce us to trembling neurotics. Some actions are riskier than others. The point is to inform ourselves about the relevant risks and then act accordingly. For example, larger cars are generally safer than small ones in collisions. But how much safer? The answer is that you are roughly twice as likely to die in a serious crash in a

Yet life itself, to the best of our knowledge, is ultimately limited. Th e key word here is “ultimately”. Since we hope to live a lot longer, we easily overlook the routine and long-range risks associated with being human, and concentrate instead on other sorts of risks. We rarely think about the chances of death, disability, or disaster, or try to predict the times of their occurrence. Walking across the street in many cities is more dangerous than riding an airplane across an ocean, but many people give no thought to the former and have great fear of the latter. People eagerly do dangerous things for recreation that they would rarely do at work, such as scaling a steep mountain or skiing rapidly down it. Young people are especially willing to take foolish chances for the sheer joy of doing so, or because they discount the probability of adverse outcomes. Yet they should probably be much more careful than their elders, since they have longer life expectancies remaining and thus have more at stake. Other things we value include health, safety, money, property, relationships and happiness. There are risks attached to the loss of any of these. Hypochondriacs exaggerate the risks of ill health or injury. Ironically the precautions taken to promote health and safety may add to a hypochondriac’s perception of the risks involved. A wise investor takes calculated risks with money, and tries to choose reasonable risks over unreasonable ones. A compulsive gambler, on the other hand, is so addicted to risk that there is little thought of the loss that inevitably follows from gambling indefinitely against the odds. So risk itself may at times be perceived as a reward. Optimists and pessimists have opposite attitudes toward risk. Extreme optimists always expect the best. Therefore they try to maximize gain. More cautious optimists may try to maximize the minimum gain. Extreme pessimists always expect the worst. Therefore they come to expect the maximum loss. More moderate pessimists may try to maximize the minimum loss. The science of cost-benefit analysis studies these and other strategies for managing risk. So does actuarial science (保险计算科学), with special emphasis on the risks of death, injury, or illness. One way to manage risk in ordinary life is through rational planning. By considering alternatives and balancing the greatest or most likely risks against the greatest or most likely rewards, we can often make better decisions and give greater consideration to long-term outcomes. By always having a contingency plan in case our main plan fails, we can usually avoid catastrophes. But planning takes effort, and we must balance this effort against the pleasure of doing things spontaneously because they are not very important or not very risky, and plan other things carefully because they are very important or very risky.

大学英语精读课文翻译 Unit 1 How to Improve Your Study Habits 你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。你在学校的学习成绩还不错，可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。然而实际情况未必如此。你要是想取得更好的分数，也还是能做到的。是的，即使中等智力水平的学生，在不增加学习负担的情况下，也能成为优等生。其诀窍如下：1．仔细安排你的时间。把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来，然后制定一张时间表或时间分配图。先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上，然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外作业。当然，学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去，还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间，这一点很重要。这张周作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题，但是它会使你比较清楚地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。此外，它还能让你安排好各种活动，既有足够的时间工作，也有足够的时间娱乐。 2．寻找一个合适的地方学习。选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子，但它应该是舒适的，而且不该有干扰。在你开始学习时，你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。 3．阅读之前先略读。这就是说，在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前，先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。在预习材料时，你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。随后在你正式开始阅读时，你就能辨认出不太重要的材料，并且可以略去某些章节不读。略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍，还有助于提高你的理解能力。< 4．充分利用课堂上的时间。上课时注意听讲意味着课后少花力气。要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。 5．学习要有规律。课后要及早复习笔记。重温课堂上提到的要点，复习你仍然混淆不清的
大学英语2翻译全套
There Is Magic in a Word of Praise赞美之词的魔力 一次，一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦：他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌，数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。“即使一个星期能赚10万美元，”他说，“那也像人间地狱一般。” 不仅演员需要掌声，没有赞扬和鼓励，任何人都会失去信心。因此，我们都有着双重需求：被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。说赞美的话是有技巧的，有正确的说法。比如，因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人，这不是真正的赞扬。你得运用辨别力和创造力。“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力，”一次，一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说，“我禁不住想，您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。”听到这意外的溢美之词，那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。 无论声名显赫还是默默无闻，没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日，我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。服务员递给我菜单时，我说，‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪！’服务员惊讶地看着我说：‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好，对服务评头论足，还埋怨太闷热。19年了，你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。’人们所需要的，”费尔普斯下结论道，“是作为人能得到一点点关注。”在那种关注中，真诚是至关重要的。当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他，他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。 孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏，将会危及性格的发展。一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事：“我的小女儿常常不听话，我不得不批评她。但是有一天，她特别乖，没有做一件会挨批评的事。当天晚上，我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时，听见她在抽泣。我走回去，发现她把头埋在枕头里。她一边呜咽一边问：‘难道我今天还不够乖吗？’” “那个问题，” 那位妈妈说，“像把刀一样刺痛了我。当她做错事时，我总是急于纠正，可是当她努力表现得好些时，我却没有注意。我哄她睡觉时连一句称赞的话都没有。” 同样的准则——说友善的话——适用于所有的人际关系。我小时候住在巴尔的摩，当时街坊里开了一家新的药店，为此我们那位技能娴熟、资历颇深的药剂师老派克·巴洛很生气。他指责他的年轻对手出售廉价药品而且在配药时没有经验。最后，那位受到伤害的新来的药剂师考虑以诽谤罪起诉对方，于是他去见了一位明智的律师托马斯·海斯。“别把争端扩大化，”海斯建议说，“试试友善（地处理）。” 第二天，当顾客们告诉他他的对手在讲他坏话时，这位新药剂师说，一定是哪里发生误会了。“派克·巴洛，”他对他们说，“是这个镇上最好的药剂师之一。他能在任何一刻、任何一天或任何一晚配出急救药方。他的细心是我们所有人学习的榜样。这个街坊已经扩大了—有足够的空间同时容下我们俩。我把他的药店当作我学习的典范。” 当那位老人听说这些话时——因为称赞和丑闻一样会长着闲聊的翅膀迅速散播——迫不及待地要亲自见见这个年轻人，给他一些有用的建议。怨恨因真挚诚实的赞扬而化解了。 为什么我们大多数人对于那些能让其他人高兴的事实避而不提呢？“给生者一朵玫瑰,其意义远远胜于送给逝者华丽的花圈。”一位风度翩翩的老绅士以前常常顺路去新罕布什尔州靠近康韦的一家古董店里推销商品。有一天，等他走了以后，古董商的妻子说，她很想告诉他他的来访给他们带来了很多乐趣。丈夫回答说：“下一次我们告诉吧。” 第二年夏天，一个年轻女子来到店里，她自我介绍说是那个销售员的女儿。她说，她的父亲已经去世了。“从那天以后，”古董店老板说，“不管什么时候当我想到一个人的优点，我就会立即告诉他。也许我不再有另一个机会了。” 如同艺术家们在把美展示给别人的过程中能获得满足一样，任何一个掌握赞美艺术的人会发现它对给予者和接受者来说都是一种幸福。它给陈词滥调注入温暖和愉悦，将喧嚣的世界转变成优美的音乐。 每个人身上都有值得称道的地方。我们只是需要把它说出来。

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“learn the news or secret”,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东西。
