Door closer,are you? 关门者”，你是吗？1 The next time you're deciding between rival options, one which is primary and the other which is secondary, ask yourself this question: What would Xiang Yu do?1 下次你要在两个难于取舍的、主要的和次要的选择之间做决定时，不妨问自己这样一个问题：项羽会怎么做？2 Xiang Yu was a Chinese imperial general in the third century BC who took his troops across the Zhang River on a raid into enemy territory. To his troops' astonishment, he ordered their cooking pots crushed and their sailing ships burned.2 项羽是公元前三世纪中国古代王朝的一位将军。

他带领他的部队横渡漳河，突袭进入了敌方的领地。

他下令砸锅烧船，令他的部队大为震惊。

3 He explained that he was imposing on them a necessity for attaining victory over their opponents.What he said was surely motivating, but it wasn't really appreciated by many of his loyal soldiers as they watched their vessels go up in flames. But the genius of General Xiang Yu's conviction would be validated both on the battlefield and in modern social science research. General Xiang Yu was a rare exception to the norm, a veteran leader who was highly respected for his many conquests and who achieved the summit of success.3 他解释道，他强加给他们的是战胜对手的必要举措。

Matilda玛蒂尔达Roald Dahl罗尔德·达尔I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.我曾经写过一篇关于对罗尔德·达尔写作的童话的影响的论文，这篇论文让我对罗尔德·达尔奇怪而又愉快的世界有了新的认识。

里根-挑战者号航天飞机悲剧的演讲[中英对照]

Ronald Reagan: The Space Shuttle "Challenger" Tragedy Address罗纳德·里根：关于“挑战者号”航天飞机悲剧的演讲Ladies and Gentlemen, I‘d planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the Union, but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss.女士们先生们：本来，我打算今天晚上向你们宣读国情咨文，但今天早些时候发生的事件让我改变了计划。

今天是哀悼和怀念的日子。

南希和我为“挑战者号”航天飞机的悲剧感到至为痛心。

我们知道全体国人人同此心。

这真正是全国人的损失。

Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But, we‘ve never lost an astronaut in flight. We‘ve never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we‘ve forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle. But they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loss as a nation together.十九年前，几乎就在今天，在一次可怕的地面事故中，我们丧失了三名宇航员。

4 “I can remember that day so clearly, watching the take-off on TV at school,” said one student. “There was an ordinary teacher on the Challenger, and we were all very excited. We didn’t have much patience waiting for the launch. We had seen the smiling faces of the astronauts waving to the world as they stepped into the shuttle. Then, little more than a minute after take-off, we saw a strange red and orange light in the sky, followed by a cloud of white smoke. The Challenger had exploded in mid-air and we all started screaming.”

高级英语第二册第一课课文翻译对照(修订版)

第一课迎战卡米尔号飓风1小约翰。

柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天，当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时，收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。

路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样，不愿舍弃家园，要他下决心弃家外逃，除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

2为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策，他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来，住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。

他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

3约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。

四年前，他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过，当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低，高出海平面仅几英尺。

“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺，，’他对父亲说，“而且距离海边足有250码远。

这幢房子是1915年建造的。

至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。

我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。

”4老柯夏克67岁．是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。

他对儿子的意见表示赞同。

“我们是可以严加防卫。

度过难关的，”他说?“一但发现危险信号，我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。

”5 为了对付这场飓风，几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。

自米水管道可能遭到破坏，他们把浴盆和提俑都盛满水。

飓风也可能造成断电，所以他们检查r手提式收音机和手电筒里的电池以及提灯里的燃料油。

约翰的父亲将一台小发电机搬到楼下门厅里．接上几个灯泡。

这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。

这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。

In fact , the room was not made to be a gift.It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ.However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it.In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great.In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winterpalace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。
