Unit 1Time-Conscious AmericansAmericans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor."We are slaves to nothing but the clock," it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person's hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.A foreigner's first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Y ou also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. Y ou will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain appropriate point.Many new arrivals in the States will miss the opening exchanges of a business call, for example. They will miss the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a restaurant or coffee house. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over extended small talk; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. Time is, therefore, always ticking in our inner ear.Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer—especially given our traffic-filled streets. We, therefore, save most personal visiting for after-work hours or for social weekend gatherings.To us the impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand. In some countries no major business is conducted without eye contact, requiring face-to-face conversation. In America, too, a final agreement will normally be signed in person. However, people are meeting increasingly on television screens, conducting "teleconferences" to settle problems not only in this country but also—by satellite—internationally.The US is definitely a telephone country. Almost everyone uses the telephone to conduct business, to chat with friends, to make or break social appointments, to say "Thank you", to shop and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones save the feet and endless amounts of time. This is due partly to the fact that the telephone service is superb here, whereas the postal service is less efficient.Some new arrivals will come from cultures where it is considered impolite to work too quickly. Unless a certain amount of time is allowed to elapse, it seems in their eyes as if the taskbeing considered were insignificant, not worthy of proper respect. Assignments are, consequently, given added weight by the passage of time. In the US, however, it is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with speed. Usually, the more important a task is, the more capital, energy, and attention will be poured into it in order to "get it moving".美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取,你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一,另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说:“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释;我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源,许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方,在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务,或者为了赶快买完东西,用肘来推搡他人。

《愚公移山》课文原文及翻译

《愚公移山》课文原文及翻译

《愚公移山》课文原文及翻译愚公移山《列子》【原文】太行、王屋二山,方七百里,高万仞,本在冀州之南,河阳之北。

北山愚公者,年且九十,面山而居。

惩山北之塞,出入之迂也,聚室而谋曰:“吾与汝毕力平险,指通豫南,达于汉阴,可乎?”杂然相许。

其妻献疑曰:“以君之力,曾不能损魁父之丘,如太行、王屋何?且焉置土石?”杂曰:“投诸渤海之尾,隐土之北。

”遂率子孙荷担者三夫,叩石垦壤,箕畚运于渤海之尾。

邻人京城氏之孀妻有遗男,始龀,跳往助之。

寒暑易节,始一反焉。

河曲智叟笑而止之曰:“甚矣,汝之不惠!以残年余力,曾不能毁山之一毛,其如土石何?”北山愚公长息曰:“汝心之固,固不可彻,曾不若孀妻弱子。

虽我之死,有子存焉。

子又生孙,孙又生子;子又有子,子又有孙;子子孙孙无穷匮也,而山不加增,何苦而不平?”河曲智叟亡以应。

操蛇之神闻之,惧其不已也,告之于帝。

帝感其诚,命夸娥氏二子负二山,一厝朔东,一厝雍南。

自此,冀之南,汉之阴,无陇断焉。

【译文】太行、王屋两座山,方圆七百里,高七八千丈,本来在冀州南边,黄河北岸的北边。

北山下面有个名叫愚公的人,年纪快到90岁了,在山的正对面居住。

他苦于山区北部的阻塞,出来进去都要绕道,就召集全家人商量说:“我跟你们尽力挖平险峻的大山,(使道路)一直通到豫州南部,到达汉水南岸,好吗?”大家纷纷表示赞同。

他的妻子提出疑问说:“凭你的力气,连魁父这座小山都不能削平,能把太行、王屋怎么样呢?再说,往哪儿搁挖下来的土和石头?”众人说:“把它扔到渤海的边上,隐土的北边。

”于是愚公率领儿孙中能挑担子的三个人(上了山),凿石头,挖土,用箕畚运到渤海边上。

邻居京城氏的寡妇有个孤儿,刚七八岁,蹦蹦跳跳地去帮助他。

冬夏换季,才能往返一次。

河湾上的智叟讥笑愚公,阻止他干这件事,说:“你简直太愚蠢了!就凭你残余的岁月、剩下的力气连山上的一棵草都动不了,又能把泥土石头怎么样呢?”北山愚公长叹说:“你的心真顽固,顽固得没法开窍,连孤儿寡妇都比不上。

舟首尾长约八分有奇,高可二黍许。

中轩敞者为舱,箬篷覆之。

旁开小窗,左右各四,共八扇。

启窗而观,雕栏相望焉。

苏、黄共阅一手卷。

东坡右手执卷端,左手抚鲁直背。

初中课文《马说》原文翻译

初中课文《马说》原文翻译《马说》是唐代文学家韩愈的一篇借物比喻的杂文,属论说文体,文章以马为喻,谈的是人才问题,表达了作者的怀才不遇,下面是小编为大家整理分享的初中课文《马说》原文翻译,一起来学习一下吧!初中课文《马说》原文翻译原文:世有伯乐,然后有千里马。

千里马常有,而伯乐不常有。

故虽有名马,祗(zhǐ)辱于奴隶人之手,骈(pián)死于槽(cáo)枥(lì)之间,不以千里称也。

马之千里者,一食(shi)或尽粟(sù)一石(dàn)。

食(sì)马者不知其能千里而食(sì)也。

是马也,虽有千里之能,食(shí)不饱,力不足,才美不外见(xiàn),且欲与常马等不可得,安求其能千里也?策之不以其道,食(sì)之不能尽其材,鸣之而不能通其意,执策而临之,曰:“天下无马!”呜呼!其真无马邪(yé)?其真不知马也。

翻译世上有了伯乐,然后才能发现千里马。

千里马经常有,可是伯乐却不会经常有。

所以即使有千里马,也只是辱没在做仆役的马车夫的手中,和普通的马一同死在马厩里,不用“千里马”的称号称呼它。

能日行千里的马,吃一次食物可能能吃下一担粮食。

喂养马的人不懂得要根据它能日行千里的特点来饲养它。

所以,这样的马即使有日行千里的才能,却吃不饱,力气不足,它的特殊的才能和英武的体态无法显示出来,况且想要跟普通的马等同还办不到,又怎么能要求它日行千里呢?驾驭它,却不按照驾驭千里马的方法;饲养它,又不能充分施展它的才能;听它嘶叫却不能通晓它的意思。

(饲养马的人)拿着鞭子走到它跟前时,说:“天下没有千里马!”唉!难道果真没有千里马吗?恐怕是他们真的不能识别千里马。

注释伯乐:春秋时秦穆公时人,本名孙阳,擅长相马。

现指能够发现人才的人。

祗:只是。

辱:这里指受屈辱而埋没的才能。

奴隶人:古代也指仆役,这里指喂马的人。

骈死:并列而死。

高一语文课文师说原文翻译

高一语文课文师说原文翻译1.原文篇一古之学者必有师。

师者,所以传道受业解惑也。

人非生而知之者,孰能无惑?惑而不从师,其为惑也,终不解矣。

生乎吾前,其闻道也固先乎吾,吾从而师之;生乎吾后,其闻道也亦先乎吾,吾从而师之。

吾师道也,夫庸知其年之先后生于吾乎?是故无贵无贱,无长无少,道之所存,师之所存也。

嗟乎!师道之不传也久矣!欲人之无惑也难矣!古之圣人,其出人也远矣,犹且从师而问焉;今之众人,其下圣人也亦远矣,而耻学于师。

是故圣益圣,愚益愚。

圣人之所以为圣,愚人之所以为愚,其皆出于此乎?爱其子,择师而教之;于其身也,则耻师焉,惑矣。

彼童子之师,授之书而习其句读者也,非吾所谓传其道解其惑者也。

句读之不知,惑之不解,或师焉,或不焉,小学而大遗,吾未见其明也。

巫医乐师百工之人,不耻相师。

士大夫之族,曰师曰弟子云者,则群聚而笑之。

问之,则曰:彼与彼年相若也,道相似也,位卑则足羞,官盛则近谀。

呜呼!师道之不复,可知矣。

巫医乐师百工之人,君子不齿,今其智乃反不能及,其可怪也欤!圣人无常师。

孔子师郯子、苌弘、师襄、老聃。

郯子之徒,其贤不及孔子。

孔子曰:三人行,则必有我师。

是故弟子不必不如师,师不必贤于弟子,闻道有先后,术业有专攻,如是而已。

李氏子蟠年十七,好古文,六艺经传皆通习之,不拘于时,学于余。

余嘉其能行古道,作《师说》以贻之。

2.翻译篇二古代求学的人必定有老师。

老师,(是)靠(他)来传授道理,讲授学业,解答疑难问题的人啊。

人不是一生下来就懂得道理的,谁能没有疑惑(的问题)?(有了)疑惑,如果不跟老师(学习),那些成为疑难问题的,(就)始终不能解答了。

出生在我前头(的人),他懂得道理本来早于我,我(应该)跟从(他),把他当做老师;出生在我后面(的人),(如果)他懂得道理也早于我,我(也应该)跟从(他),把他当做老师。

我(是向他)学习道理啊,哪管他的生年比我早还是比我晚呢?因此,无论(地位)高低贵贱,无论(年纪)大小,道理存在的(地方),就是老师所在的(地方)。

大学英语课文原文及翻译

大学英语课文原文及翻译大学英语课文原文一 Section A:Choose to Be Alone on PurposeHere we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of us liking it that way and some of us not. Some of us divorced, some widowed, some never yet committed. Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it s more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero. The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas. Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town. Now, that s character for you.Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity for poets and philosophers. They re all for it. They all speak highly of themselves for seeking it out, at least for an hour or even two before they hurry home for tea.Consider Dorothy Wordsworth, for instance, helping her brother William put on his coat, finding his notebook and pencil for him, and waving as he sets forth into the early spring sunlight to look at flowers all by himself. “How graceful, how benign, is solitude,” he wrote.No doubt about it, solitude is improved by being voluntary.Look at Milton s daughters arranging his cushions and blankets before they silently creep away, so he can create poetry. Then,rather than trouble to put it in his own handwriting, he calls thegirls to come back and write it down while he dictates.You may have noticed that most of these artistic types went outdoors to be alone. The indoors was full of loved ones keeping the kettle warm till they came home.The American high priest of solitude was Thoreau. We admire him, not for his self-reliance, but because he was all by himself out there at Walden Pond, and he wanted to be. All alone in the woods. Actually, he lived a mile, or 20 minutes walk, from his nearest neighbor; half a mile from the railroad; three hundred yards from a busy road. He had company in and out of the hut all day, asking him how he could possibly be so noble. Apparently the main point of his nobility was that he had neither wife nor servants, used his own axe to chop his own wood, and washed his own cups and saucers. I don t know who did his laundry; he doesn t say, but he certainly doesn t mention doing his own, either. Listen to him: “I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”Thoreau had his own self-importance for company. Perhaps there s a message here. The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around. The more modest and humble we feel, the more we suffer from solitude, feeling ourselves inadequate company.If you live with other people, their temporary absence can be refreshing. Solitude will end on Thursday. If today I use a singular personal pronoun to refer to myself, next week I will use the plural form. While the others are absent you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, coming and going as you please without apology, staying up late to read, soaking in the bath, eating a whole pint of ice cream at one sitting, moving at your own pace. Those absent will be back. Their waterproof winter coatsare in the closet and the dog keeps watching for them at the window. But when you live alone, the temporary absence of your friends and acquaintances leaves a vacuum; they may never come back.The condition of loneliness rises and falls, but the need to talk goes on forever. It s more basic than needing to listen. Oh, we all have friends we can tell important things to, people we can call to say we lost our job or fell on a slippery floor and broke our arm. It s the daily succession of small complaints and observations and opinions that backs up and chokes us. We can t really call a friend to say we got a parcel from our sister, or it s getting dark earlier now, or we don t trust that new Supreme Court justice.Scientific surveys show that we who live alone talk at length to ourselves and our pets and the television. We ask the cat whether we should wear the blue suit or the yellow dress. We ask the parrot if we should prepare steak, or noodles for dinner. We argue with ourselves over who is the greater sportsman: that figure skater or this skier. There s nothing wrong with this. It s good for us, and a lot less embarrassing than the woman in front of us in line at the market who s telling the cashier that her niece Melissa may be coming to visit on Saturday, and Melissa is very fond of hot chocolate, which is why she bought the powdered hot chocolate mix, though she never drinks it herself.It s important to stay rational.It s important to stop waiting and settle down and make ourselves comfortable, at least temporarily, and find some grace and pleasure in our condition, not like a self-centered British poet but like a patient princess sealed up in a tower, waiting for the happy ending to our fairy tale.After all, here we are. It may not be where we expected to be, but for the time being we might as well call it home. Anyway, there is no place like home.大学英语课文原文二 Section A:Does Mickey Mouse have a beardNo.Does this mean that French men seeking work with the Disney organization must shave off their moustaches tooIt depends.A labor inspector took the Disney organization to court this week, contending that the company s dress and appearance code — which bans moustaches, beards, excess weight, short skirts and fancy stockings — offends individual liberty and violates French labor law.The case is an illustration of some of the delicate cultural issues the company faces as it gets ready to open its theme park 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Paris in five months time.The Disney management, which is assembling what it calls a cast of 12,000 to run the theme park, argues that all employees, from bottle washers to the president, are similar to actors who have to obey rules about appearance. Anyway, a company spokesman says, no one has yet put his moustache before a job. As one new cast member put it: You must believe in what you are doing, or you would have a terrible time here.But what do people think of Euro Disney People everywhere are wondering whether Europeans would like the American recreation.For all its concern about foreign cultural invasion and its defense against the pollution of the French language by English words, France s Socialist government has been untroubled aboutputting such a huge American symbol on the doorstep of the capital and has been more concerned about its social effect. It made an extraordinary series of tax and financial concessions to attract the theme park here rather than let it go to sunny Spain.The theme park itself will be only part of a giant complex of housing, office, and resort developments stretching far into the next century, including movie and television production facilities. As part of its deal with the Disney organization, the government is laying on and paying for new highways, an extension of Paris s regional express railway and even a direct connection for the high speed TGV railway to the Channel Tunnel. The TGV station is being built in front of the main entrance of Euro Disneyland, and is scheduled to come into service in 1994.If Euro Disneyland succeeds — where theme parks already in France have so far failed — a second and even a third park is likely to be built by the end of the century. Financial experts say that Euro Disneyland, the first phase of which is costing an estimated $3.6 billion, is essential to Disney s overall fortunes, which have been hit by competition and declining attendance in the United States.French intellectuals have not found many kind things to say about the project. The kids, however, will probably never notice. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio all come from European fairy tales or stories and are as familiar to children here as they are in the United States. To a French child Mickey is French. To an Italian kid he is Italian.The Disney management is stressing this tradition in an apparent response to suggestions that it is culturally insensitive. Although the concept of the theme park is closely based on the original MagicKingdom in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, Euro Disneyland will be unique in a manner appropriate to its European home, the company says. The legends and fairy tales which come from Europe figure prominently in the creative development of the theme park. Officials point out, for example, that Sleeping Beauty s castle, the central feature of the theme park, is based not on Hollywood, as some might think, but on the illustrations in a medieval European book. Also, a 360-degree movie, based on the adventures of Jules Verne, features well-known European actors.Asked to describe other aspects of the effort to make the park more European, a spokesman mentioned that direction signs in the theme park will be in French as well as English, and that some performers will chat in French, Spanish and English. The challenge is telling things people already know — and at the same time making it different, the spokesman said.On the other hand, this effort is not being taken too far. Another Disney spokesman said earlier that the aim of the theme park is to provide a basically American experience for those who seek it. Inthis way, he said, people who might otherwise have contemplated a vacation in the United States will be happy to stay on this side of the Atlantic.The Disney organization does seem to focus a bit too much on hair. Main Street, USA , the heart of Euro Disneyland, it promises, will feature an old time Harmony Barber Shop to deal with messy hair and hairy chins — and perhaps even offending mustaches. One difference from California or Florida: Parts of Main Street and waiting areas to get into the attractions will be covered over as a concession to Paris s rainy weather.Euro Disneyland s short distance to Paris is a definite attraction. Anyone tiring of American or fake European culture can reach the Louvre art museum by express railway in less than an hour — from Minnie Mouse to Mona Lisa in a flash.Communications figured largely in the Disney organization s decision to site its fourth theme park near Paris. The site is within a two-hour flight of 320 million Europeans. The opening of Eastern Europe is another prize for the company, which thinks that millions of people will put Disneyland at the top of a list of places to visit on their first trip to Western Europe.PREVIOUS HOME NEXT大学英语课文原文三 Section A:Slavery Gave Me Nothing to LoseI remember the very day that I became black. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a black town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando, Florida. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the northern tourists traveled down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped chewing sugar cane when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The bold would come outside to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as thetourists got out of the village.The front deck might seem a frightening place for the rest of the town, but it was a front row seat for me. My favorite place was on top of the gatepost. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn t mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them inpassing. I d wave at them and when they returned my wave, I would say a few words of greeting. Usually the automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a strange exchange of greetings, I would probably go a piece of the way with them, as we say in farthest Florida, and follow them down the road a bit. If one of my family happened to come to the front of the house in time to see me, of course the conversation would be rudely broken off.During this period, white people differed from black to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there. They liked to hear me speak pieces and sing and wanted to see me dance, and gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed strange to me for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to stop. Only they didn t know it. The colored people gave no coins. They disapproved of any joyful tendencies in me, but I was their Zora nevertheless. I belonged to them, to the nearby hotels, to the country — everybody s Zora.But changes came to the family when I was thirteen, and I was sent to school in Jacksonville. I left Eatonville as Zora. When I got off the riverboat at Jacksonville, she was no more. It seemed that I had suffered a huge change. I was not Zora of Eatonville any more; I was now a little black girl. I found it out in certain ways. In my heart as well as in the mirror, I became a permanent brown — like the best shoe polish, guaranteed not to rub nor run.Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me. Slavery is something sixty years in the past. The operation was successful and the patient is doing well, thank you. The terrible war that made me an American instead of a slave said On the line! Theperiod following the Civil War said Get set! and the generation before me said Go! Like a foot race, I am off to a flying start and I must not halt in the middle to look behind and weep. Slavery is the price I paid for civilization, and the choice was not with me. No one on earth ever had a greater chance for glory. The world to be won and nothing to be lost. It is thrilling to think, to know, that for any act of mine, I shall get twice as much praise or twice as much blame. It is quite exciting to hold the center of the national stage, with the audience not knowing whether to laugh or to weep.I do not always feel colored. Even now I often achieve the unconscious Zora of that small village, Eatonville. For instance, I can sit in a restaurant with a white person. We enter chatting about any little things that we have in common and the white man would sit calmly in his seat, listening to me with interest.At certain times I have no race, I am me. But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of mixed items propped up against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a pile of small things both valuable and worthless. Bits of broken glass, lengths of string, a key to a door long since decayed away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be, a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still with a little smell. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the pile it held — so much like the piles in the other bags, could they be emptied, that all might be combined and mixed in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them inthe first place — who knows。
