课文一:The Tail of FameAn artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction"Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur Most would be hardpressed to tell you how theyeven got there Artists cannot remain idle, though When the performer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing,run a significant risk of losing the audience's favor The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famousFamous authors' styles—such as Jane Austen's or Ernest Hemingway's—are easily recognizable The same is true of painters like Monet or Picasso The distinctive style of an artist, however, can become a trademark Whenthat happens, the artist becomes confined to that style If an artist is talented but not unique, fame will be fleeting Even if an artist possesses a unique style, fame is not guaranteed The market for art is fickle The public's appetite for a new style is insatiable The artist, like the politician, must often please the public in order to remain popular翻译:名声之尾追求名声的艺术家就像一只追着自己尾巴跑的狗,一旦抓住了尾巴,除了继续追着跑之外,不知道还能做什么。

Old Father Time Becomes a TerrorRichard Tomkins1 Once upon a time,technology,we thought,would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us,leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.时间老人成了可怕的老人理查德·汤姆金斯从前,我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。

那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作,我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。

2 But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate:as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium。

And as each invention arrives,it eats further into our time.但技术发展没有把我们解放出来,而是使我们成为奴隶.新技术纷至沓来,令人目不暇接:一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。

而每一项新发明问世,就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。

3 The motorcar,for example,promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility。

But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse—drawn carriage,and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams。

Unit 1 Active reading 1 抓螃蟹大学最后一年的秋天,我们的心情变了。

刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不见了踪影,我们开始埋头学习,苦读到深夜,课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。

我们都觉得在校时间不多了,以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了,所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。

当然,下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。

我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一,那也太丢人了,因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。

以前每天下午五点以后,图书馆就空无一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座,小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。

还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。

每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么样的工作。

并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么,常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几个阶段的人生做好了规划。

有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的广告公司得到了一份工作,另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞草签了合约。

我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个政党活动家,我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。

但大多数同学不是准备继续深造,就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领,希望在20出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水,过上舒适的生活,然后就娶妻生子,贷款买房,期望升职,过安稳日子。

感恩节的时候我回了一趟家,兄弟姐妹们免不了不停地问我毕业后有什么打算,我不知道该说什么。

实际上,我知道该说什么,但我怕他们批评我,所以只对他们说了别人都准备干什么。

父亲看着我,什么也没说。

夜深时,他叫我去他的书房。

我们坐了下来,他给我们俩各倒了杯饮料。

“怎么样?”他问。

“啊,什么怎么样?”“你毕业后到底想做什么?”他问道。

父亲是一名律师,我一直都认为他想让我去法学院深造,追随他的人生足迹,所以我有点儿犹豫。

过了会儿我回答说:“我想旅行,我想当个作家。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 A Lost World - Atlantis?Text AThe Story of AtlantisAmong the many mysteries of ancient Greece, Atlantis stands out as one of the most enduring and intriguing. The myth of Atlantis has captured the imagination of generations, with numerous theories and speculations attempting to uncover the truth behind this legendary lost city.According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" and was said to be larger than Asia and Libya combined. The Atlanteans, as described by Plato, were a technologically advanced society with impressive architecture, hydraulic engineering, and prosperous trade. However, due to their pride and corruption, the gods decided to punish them and submerged Atlantis into the sea in a single day and night of catastrophic earthquakes and floods.Although there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of Atlantis, many theories have been put forward over the years. Some believe that Atlantis was a real place, possibly a highly advanced civilization such as the Minoan culture of Crete or the ancient city of Tartessos in modern-day Spain. Others suggest that Atlantis is purely a myth or an allegory created by Plato to convey philosophical or political ideas.Regardless of its reality, the story of Atlantis continues to captivate and inspire people. It has become a symbol of a lost paradise, a cautionary tale warning against human hubris, and a reminder of the fleeting nature of power and civilization.译文:第一课海底世界-亚特兰蒂斯亚特兰蒂斯的故事在古希腊的众多谜团中,亚特兰蒂斯是最耐人寻味和引人入胜的之一。

在数分钟时间内,纽约最显赫的象征之一成了一堆余烟未尽的废墟,而这个国家不可战胜的形象也成了一个谎言。

2. As the World Trade Center crumpled and the streets filled with s creams and scenes ofunimaginable horror, choking smoke blotted out the sun and plunged lo wer Manhattan intodarkness.当世界贸易中心倒塌、街道上到处都有人哭叫、充满难以想象的恐怖场景时,令人窒息的烟雾遮住了太阳,使曼哈顿下城区陷入了一片黑暗。

3. Those not entombed by the bomb-blasted buildings ran and ran —just as they did eight yearsearlier, when another terror attack shook this mighty symbol of Ameri ca's power.那些炸毁的大楼内未被掩埋的人跑啊跑——就像八年前另一次恐怖袭击震撼了这个美国力量的显赫标志一样。

4.For the rest of the country, there was another shock to digest —a second kamikaze attack. Thistime on the Pentagon.对于美国其他地方的人们,还有另一次震惊需要承受——第二次自杀性袭击,这次是对准五角大楼的。

5. More horror. More amazement that the mighty United States could be so vulnerable to terror.更多的恐怖,更大的混乱,更多的不可思议:强大的美国居然如此不堪恐怖分子一击。

6. But on the streets of lower Manhattan there was no time for f inger-pointing. No time for talk of revenge. People were dying. Cops and firefighters were dying with them.但是在曼哈顿下城区街道上,人们此刻没有时间责难和怪罪,没有时间谈报复。

人们在死去,警察和消防队员也随着一起在死去。

7. Commentators called the attack a second Pearl Harbor, until now o ur most tragic hour.Politicians denounced the likely culprits in Afghanistan. And before d usk, there were inaccuratereports that an angry America was raining revenge on Kabul.新闻评论员称这次袭击是第二次珍珠港事件,该事件时至今日一直是我们最悲惨的时刻。

政治家们谴责藏在阿富汗的可能的罪魁祸首。

天暗之前,已有不太准确的报道,称愤怒的美国正对喀布尔采取连续不断的报复行动。

8. One day we will think back on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, a nd remember in crystal detailwhat we were doing when the first plane crashed into the north towe r at 8:45 .总有一天我们会回顾2001年9月11日的早晨,并清晰地记起上午八点四十五分第一架飞机撞击(世界贸易中心)北塔时我们在干什么。

9. And we will be amazed that we didn't think it possible before.我们会感到惊奇,在此之前我们居然认为这不可能。

10. THE DAY AFTEROriginally published: 9/13/2001When the sun rose yesterday, someone joked that the city was missing its two front teeth. Butthere was nothing to laugh about in the aftermath of our generation' s Pearl Harbor.一天以后最初发表于2001年9月13日昨天早上太阳升起的时候,有人开玩笑说纽约城少了两颗大门牙。

然而,在我们这一代人的珍珠港事件发生之后,已没有什么可笑的事了11. There was only wreckage and smoke and fire where the World Trade Center used to be.Thousands remained buried under tons of rubble.过去矗立着世界贸易中心的地方,现在只有废墟、烟雾和火焰。

数千人被埋在了重重的瓦砾之下。

12. A handful of people were plucked from the wreckage in lower Man hattan, living remindersthat miracles do happen.从曼哈顿下城区的废墟中拽出了几个人,这活生生的事例再次告诉我们,奇迹确实会发生。

13. But for those digging through the debris, every passing hour sap ped their strength and theirhopes of finding more victims alive.但是对在瓦砾中挖掘的人们而言,逝去的每一小时都消耗着他们的力量,销蚀他们发现更多生还者的希望。

14. The rest of New York resembled a Third World capital after a p articularly explosive coup.纽约的其他区域像是经历了一场特别猛烈的政变之后的一个第三世界国家的首都。

15. Armed National Guardsmen in helmets and camouflage rumbled through Manhattan inconvoys. The few people on the normally bustling streets watched them and only sometimeswaved.全副武装、头戴钢盔、身着迷彩服的国民警卫队员的车队隆隆地驶过曼哈顿。

往常熙熙攘攘的街道上只有少数几个人,他们看着国民警卫队员们开过去,有时也挥挥手。

New Yorkers waited at newsstands for the morning papers to arrive while anxiousrelatives gathered at streetside morgues holding pictures of the disap peared.纽约市民在报摊边等着早报到来,焦急的亲属们聚集在路边停放尸体地方的周围,手里举着失踪者的照片17. In Washington, where the kamikaze terrorists severely damaged the nerve center of American military power, politicians beat war drums as our allies pledged solidarity and registered theirdisgust.在华盛顿,恐怖主义敢死队严重破坏了美国军事力量的神经中枢,政治家们擂起了战鼓,我们的盟国保证与我们团结一致,表达了他们对恐怖行为的深恶痛绝。
