（课文、翻译、十五选十）

Unit 1

课文：

Communicating successfully with people from different cultures can be a real challenge. Cultural differences may lead to tensions（紧张）, arguments（争论）, and even wars between peoples and nations. We bear（承担）equal responsibility for teaching people of different cultures about our culture and in turn（进而）learning about theirs. We cannot expect people from other cultures to understand ours automatically（自动地[ˌɔːtəˈmætɪkli]）. Probably the best strategy（策略）for coping with the various （各种各样的）impacts（[ɪmˈpækts]冲击）of culture shock is to make a conscious（有意识的）effort to adjust to the new culture, though it may require personal awareness（意识）, patience, and perseverance（毅力ˌpɜːrsəˈvɪrəns）.

与来自不同文化背景的人成功交流可能是一项真正的挑战。文化差异可能导致人民和国家之间的紧张关系、争论，甚至战争。我们承担同等的责任，向不同文化的人传授我们的文化，进而了解他们的文化。我们不能指望来自其他文化的人自动理解我们的。也许应对文化冲击的各种影响的最佳策略是有意识地努力适应新文化，尽管它可能需要个人的意识、耐心和毅力。

Unit3

课文：

reservations about a mixed marriage, prejudices（偏见）you might even call them. But when I met Mark I found him a charming（迷人的，娇媚的）and intelligent young guy. Any mother would be proud to have him for a son-in-law（女婿）. So, color has nothing to do with it. Yes, my friends talk. Some even express shock at what you are doing. But they live in a different world. So you see, Mark’s color is not the problem. My biggest worry is that you may be marrying Mark for the same wrong reasons that I married your father. When we met I saw him as my beloved, intelligent, charming, and caring. It was all so new, all so exciting, and we both thought, on the surface（表面）at least, that ours was an ideal marriage with every indication（迹象）that it would last forever. I realized only later that I didn’t know my beloved, your father, very well when we married.”
