Can bad luck be explained?生活中的倒霉事能解释吗？1 Toast always lands butter side down. It always rains on bank holidays. You never win the lottery, but other people you know seem to ... Do you ever get the impression that you were born unlucky? Even the most rational person can be convinced at times that there is a force out there making mishaps occur at the worst possible time. We all like to believe that Murphy's Law is true ("if it can go wrong, it will").每次吐司掉到地上总是抹了黄油的那一面贴地。
每逢公假日必定下雨。
你买彩票从来没中过大奖,但是你认识的人里似乎有人……你有没有觉得自己生来就是个倒霉蛋？即使是最理智的人有时候也会对此深信不疑，认为冥冥之中有一种力量让他们在最糟糕的时期里灾祸连连。
我们都愿意相信墨菲法则是对的（“该出错的，终将出错”）。
2 Part of the explanation for bad luck is mathematical, but part is psychological. Indeed there is a very close connection between people's perception of bad luck and interesting coincidences.人之所以走背运，部分是概率的问题, 部分是心理上的问题。
的确，人们对背运的感知和一些有意思的巧合之间有着紧密的联系。
3 For example, take the belief that "bad things always happen in threes" (just like buses ...!) This popular notion would be unlikely to stand the scrutiny of any scientific study, but it must have some basis in experience, otherwise the phrase would never have arisen in the first place. What might be the rational explanation?就拿“坏事成三”这种想法来说吧（就像等公交车一样，要么不来，要么一下来三辆！）。
这种流传甚广的观念可能根本经不起科学的检验，但是它必定有一些现实的依据, 不然的话也不会有这样的说法了。
那么，什么样的解释才是合理的呢？4 The first question is "what is bad?"我们要考虑的第一个问题是“什么是坏事？”5 Some things are only marginally bad, for example the train arriving five minutes late. Some are extremely bad, such as failing an exam or being sacked. So badness is much better represented as being on a spectrum rather than something which is there or not there.有些事情只是稍稍有点不好，比如火车晚点五分钟。
有些事情则是糟糕透顶，比如考试不及格，或是被炒了鱿鱼。
所以我们更应该把事情的好坏看成是一个程度的问题，而不是非好即坏。
6 A particular event may only be a misfortune because of the circumstances around it. The train arriving five minutes late is a neutral event if you are in no hurry and reading an interesting newspaper article while you wait. It is bad if you are late for an important meeting.某件事情有可能因为相关的一些因素而变成了不幸的事。
火车晚点五分钟，如果你边读着报纸上一篇有趣的文章边等车，并不赶时间，那么这就是一件无关紧要的事。
但是如果你要去参加一个重要会议，而且马上要迟到了，那火车晚点就变成坏事了。
7 When it comes to bad things happening in threes, what may be most important of all is the duration and memorability of the first event. Take a burst pipe while you are away on holiday, for example. It may take less than an hour to flood the house, but this one bad event can remain alive and kicking for many months, with the cleaning up operation and the debate with your insurers acting as constant reminders of the original event.谈到坏事成三的问题，其中最关键的因素是第一件倒霉事持续的时间有多长以及给人的印象深不深。
比如说，你外出度假期间家里的水管爆裂了。
也许不到一个小时你的家就变成了一片汪洋，而在接下来的几个月中你的脑子会不停地想起这桩倒霉事，因为你要把房子清理干净，还要和保险公司就赔偿问题讨价还价，这些都会让你不断地想起这件事。
8 The longer the first bad event sticks in the front of your mind, the more opportunities you will have to experience two more bad events. A month later someone bumps the back of your car and a week after that you lose your wedding ring. The mind which is already on a low from the first event will quickly leap to connect the subsequent misfortunes as part of the series. It wouldn't matter that there could be a two-month timescale over which everything happened. By the time you have recovered from the water damage you are actively looking out for the next disaster. The timescale has been extended as long as is necessary to confirm the original prophecy.第一件倒霉事困扰你的时间越长，你遇到两件倒霉事的几率就越大。
说不定一个月之后，有人开车追尾撞了你的车。
又过了一个星期，你的结婚戒指不见了。
出了第一件倒霉事，你的情绪本来就很低落，这时你会很快地把后来发生的事情联系到一起，把它们看作是有关联的一连串事件。
即使这几件事情的时间跨度可能长达两个月之久，那也不会改变你的看法。
等你从浸水事件中平复过来的时候，你已经在积极地等待下一个灾难的发生了。
这个时间跨度已经被拉长了，直至能够证明你之前的预言是对的。
9 As with coincidences, in bad luck there is a tendency to look for the examples which confirm the theory, and ignore those which don't (because they are less interesting). Single bad events happen all the time. That alone should be enough to disprove the theory. Bad things also come in twos. But it is more likely that a friend will tell you "three bad things have happened to me, isn't that typical" than "only two bad things have happened to me, which just proves that the theory doesn't work". After all, the latter is tempting fate!人们碰上倒霉事的时候会像遇到巧合的时候一样，去寻找一些事例来验证他们先入为主的想法，而忽略掉与这种想法有出入的事情（因为那些事情不是那么有趣）。
孤立的倒霉事每时每刻都在发生。
光凭这一点就可以推翻“坏事成三”的理论了。
坏事也可以是成双的。
但是你的朋友很可能会对你说：“我一连碰到了三件倒霉事，可真是应了那句俗话！”，而不是说：“我只碰上了两件倒霉事，这不正好证明了‘坏事成三’这个说法不成立吗？”毕竟，说后一种话是要冒风险的！10 There is, however, at least one rational reason why bad events might cluster together. It is related to probability and independence. Unlucky events are not always independent of each other. Anybody who is made redundant is bound to suffer some depression. That will lower the body's defences, making the person vulnerable to illness, and also making them less alert and responsive (so they may be more likely to drop a precious vase, for example). So while the probability of being made redundant on any particular day and the probability of being sick mayboth be small, the chance of both occurring is almost certainly higher than the product of the two probabilities.但是，至少有一个合理的解释可以说明为什么坏事会扎堆。

Unit 1 Text A哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。
Learning, Chinese-Style1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
TWO DIFFERENT W AYS TO LEARN我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

全新版大学英语第二版综合教程2第六单元课文翻译第六单元妇女半边天课文A有些妇女何以能既做一份全职工作又能兼顾家庭的责任，并仍有余暇做其他事情艾德丽安·波珀渴望能像她们一样，但又怀疑这会不会是一个根本无法实现的梦想。
我要买下布鲁克林桥艾德丽安·波？不久前，我收到母校一份校友简报。
里面有一条是关于一个老同学的消息：“凯特·L在俄克拉荷马大学兼职任教，并任县高中校长助理。
她正在利用业余时间完成博士论文以及两本著作的最后定稿，同时她仍有时间与女儿们一起打网球、骑马。
”这条短讯中有四个字令我心神不安：业余时间。
有位朋友说，要是我对这一报道里的一切都信以为真，那她在布鲁克林还有一座桥要出售给我呢。
朋友的打趣一针见血。
我多蠢啊!于是我打定主意，不再去想凯特那些不可思议的成就，以后看到类似报道也不要轻易相信。
可是，就像节食者一时软弱竟把整盒饼干吃个精光一样，我发现自己的决心也有动摇之时。
每当不坚定时，我就在报刊上到处搜寻，贪婪地阅读一篇又一篇的成功故事。
我最喜欢的女强人有＼一位政治家的女儿，她在照料一个两岁幼儿与一个新生儿的同时读完了法学院，同时还经营着一家公司；一位开业儿科医师，她自己有十个子女还有一位电视主持人，她是两个学龄前儿童的母亲，还在攻读硕士学位。
然而，有一天我真的与一位女强人面对面相逢。
去年圣诞节前，我因工作需要来到一家全国性公司女总裁的办公室。
如同其他女强人一样，她有丈夫，两个孩子，还有一处据说是纤尘不染的公寓。
她的生活安排得如瑞士表一般精确。
由于我本人的计划安排很少成功，她的成就既令我惊讶不已，又使我深感内疚。
那天，她办公桌后面的架子上放置了至少一百罐草莓酱，上面扎着鲜艳的红格缎带。
这些果酱是总裁和她的孩子们一起制作的，罐子也是他们一起装饰的，她准备把果酱送给员工及来访的客户。
我不由得惊问，她从哪儿抽出时间完成如此令人钦佩的假日工程我真不该多此一问。
答案听上去相当熟悉：业余时间。

《新标准大学英语 综合教程2》课文译文
新标准大学英语综合教程2——课文译文U1AR1大学已经不再特别了有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。
”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。
但是，20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。
20世纪60年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。
然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。
1966年，罗纳德•里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。
”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。
在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。
许多抗议是针对越南战争的。
可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。
20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。
不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。
你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米•亨德里克斯或兰尼•布鲁斯的志同道合者。
那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。
可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。
当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。
例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50％的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。
不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。
如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。
有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太费事了。

几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明，场内的声音震耳欲聋。
走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸，但我的注意力还是很集中。
再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。
我心在剧烈地跳动，口干舌燥，肾上腺素猛增。
童年的梦想就要实现了，这种感觉真是太奇妙了：令人非常兴奋，又胆战心惊。
我知道，为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知的极限。
我极力保持镇静，告诫自己不要紧张，要坚持按原计划做，按自己的节奏跑。
我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快——这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜·普罗科霍洛娃不能超过十秒。
如果我做到这一点，冠军就是我的了。
我望着四百米跑道的起跑点，屏住了呼吸。
这些年来，在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛的八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败，饱受挫折。
现在，它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间。
我的英国支持者在为我欢呼，声音特别大，就好像看台上只有他们是粉丝。
我听到他们喊我的名字，为我鼓劲加油，听到他们充满希望的呐喊。
宽阔美丽的体育场上到处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国的国旗，我感觉自己和观众融为了一体：我们有着同样的期盼，同样的梦想。
几个小时前，我的脚踝在跳远时受了伤，缠上了绷带，但是我忘掉伤痛，尽量把注意力集中在观众身上。
他们的叫喊声势浩大，使我精神振奋，我感到镇定自若。
我知道自己会全力以赴，拼尽全力跑完全程。
我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。
我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。
跑完这两圈，过去两天以及28 年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。
这一跑真是生死攸关。
我不断地告诉自己：也就是跑两分钟，谁都能跑两分钟。
发令枪响了，比赛正式开始。
第一圈还好，我跟其他人跑得一样快，但我觉得比平时要累得多，比我预想的要累得多。
这次锦标赛赛前长达数周的艰苦训练以及这两天激烈的比赛所带来的疲劳在我的赛跑过程中显现出来了。

新标准大学英语综合教程第二册重点文章及翻译Unit 1 FriendshipArticle 1: The Importance of FriendshipFriendship is a vital aspect of human life. It plays a significant role in shaping our emotional well-being and overall happiness. Throughout history, great philosophers and scholars have emphasized the value of friendship, acknowledging its ability to enhance our lives in numerous ways.Friendship provides us with a sense of belonging and support. True friends are those who stand by us during both good times and bad, offering a listening ear, encouragement, and advice when needed. This level of trust and understanding creates a strong foundation for relationships, fostering personal growth and development.Additionally, friendships contribute to our mental and physical health. Research has shown that individuals with robust social connections tend to have lower levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. The emotional support we receive from friends can act as a buffer against the challenges we face in life. Moreover, engaging in activities with friends, such as exercising or participating in hobbies, promotes physical well-being.The significance of friendship extends beyond our personal lives. It also plays a crucial role in professional settings. Building a network of professional relationships not only enhances career opportunities but alsofacilitates personal growth through the exchange of knowledge and experiences.In conclusion, friendship is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It brings us joy, support, and a sense of belonging. Investing time and effort into nurturing and maintaining our friendships is essential for our well-being, both individually and collectively.翻译：单元一友谊文章一：友谊的重要性友谊是人生中至关重要的一部分，对于我们的情感幸福感和整体快乐起着重要作用。
