第四课熊树林的馈赠1.12岁那年，我们举家迁至英格兰，这是我小小年纪中的第四次大搬迁。
我父亲的政府工作要求他每几年出国一次，所以我也习惯了和朋友们的分离。
2.我们在巴克夏郡租了一间18世纪的农舍，附近有古城堡和教堂。
然而，我喜欢大自然，所以最让我开心的是环绕在我家周围无数的农场和林地。
屋子后院栅栏外是一片深邃的林子，林中交错的小路四通八达，散步时经常遇见野鸡飞进前方茂密的桂树丛中。
3.我大部分的时间都是在林子和田野间独自游逛，假扮罗宾汉，做白日梦，收集虫子，观察鸟儿。
这是一个属于小男孩的天堂，但却是一个孤独的天堂。
独处是为了避免形成一种下次搬家时不得不割舍的依恋之情，但是有一天我却真的有了这种依恋。
4.我们在英格兰大约住了六个月之后，老农克罗福允许我在他的广阔庄园里漫步。
于是我开始每个周末去那里远足，沿着长长的斜坡，到达一片茂密的丛林，那便是熊树林。
这里是我的秘密堡垒，我觉得它几乎是个神圣的地方。
从铁丝网栅栏溜过去，，我就会远离明媚的阳光和昆虫、动物的鸣叫声而爬到另一个世界棗一个拱形的大教堂，树干作为支柱，地面是陈年的，长长的棕色针叶铺成的柔软地毯。
我感受着耳边自己的呼吸声，而林地里动物们最轻的声音都会回荡在这天堂里。
5.一个春天的下午，我在一个自认为是一周前看到过的池塘边徘徊，我悄然行进，以免惊扰鸟儿，它们会大声提醒其他动物躲起来。
6.也许这就是为什么我差点撞到的那个满头银发的老太太和我一样，吓了一跳，屏住呼吸，本能的用手捂住嘴。
然后，她迅速回过神来。
她向我致以表示欢迎的微笑，使我很快放松下来。
一个显眼的高倍望远镜挂在她的脖子上。
她说，“嗨，小伙子，”她说，“你是美国人还是加拿大人？”7.我是美国人，我匆匆解释道，住在山的另一边，我正在看是否有个池塘，并且老农场主克罗福也允许我来看，但不管怎样，我现在要回家了，所以再见吧。
8.我正要转身时，那妇人笑着问我：“你看到林子那边一只小猫头鹰了吗？”她朝林子的边缘指去。

第三册Unit 1A Funny Mistake At 8:15 one Sunday morning, a police officer saw a man climbing down a drainpipe from an open bedroom window. As soon as the man reached the ground, the officer caught him by the arm. In answer to the officer's questions, the man said that his name was Charlie Crane and he was a lorry driver from Nottingham. He explained that the day before he had had a breakdown and had spent the night in the house where the officer saw him. That morning the landlady had given him breakfast and he had gone on his way. Later he found that he had left￡80 under his pillow. He returned and rang the bell, but no one answered it. Spotting the bedroom window still open, he climbed up the drainpipe. As he was again leaving, the officer saw him. Just as the officer was figuring out whether or not it was only a funny mistake, a woman shouted from the kitchen window, "Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone away an hour ago."Unit 2Dear Dad,You remember the problem that my research team has been trying to solve for some time now? The one I mentioned in my last letter? Well, yesterday we finally hit upon the solution. And it is all due to you. How? Well, you remember that game you used to play with us to encourage us to think laterally, the "What Doesn't Belong?" one? It all came back to me as we were sitting around going over the same old ground for what seemed like the hundredth time. Clearly, what we needed to do was to see the problem from a completely new angle. I put this to the rest of the group and after a session of brainstorming we hit upon an entirely fresh way of looking at the problem that led us straight to the answer. It had been under our noses all along, but we hadn't noticed it because of sticking to our old habits of thought. It seems all those discussions about oranges, tomatoes and strawberries long ago were not only good fun, but were good for the mind as well. So, you deserve the credit for our success as much as we do. Many thanks!Your loving son,TomUnit 3Why I Chose to Attend CollegeAs my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college. At times I did have some doubts. After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile. My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning. While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further. I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development. I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations. Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person. A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training. Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position. As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.Unit 4In a recent poll taken by "the Herald of the Town", 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people. And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups. Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments. 38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively. Job training for young people was chosen as the best way to reduce crime (63 percent). After that, in order of percentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols (23 percent), more police on foot (10 percent) and the death penalty (4 percent).Unit 5It was Mother's Day. Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion. Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year. The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue. The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find. By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark. And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.Unit6One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised. "What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?" the father asked. "Steve, the big boy on Quail Street ..." the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger. In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists. Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face. Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground. However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too. Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away. Peter had to walk home completely defeated. Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.Unit 7Dear Pearl,Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days. She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock. Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation. I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again. Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again. Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come. But thank you so much for your kind invitation.Sincerely,Pearl Unit 8How to Attain Our Goals in LifeAs a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life. To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower. Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two. Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success. Take Peter G. Beidler for example. Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession. Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep. His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983. Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work. Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life. Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it. The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point. She refused to giveup in the face of all the challenges in life. Instead, she persisted in improving herself.In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper. Clearly persistence helpedto make her dream come true.Unit 9Never Forget the Atrocities Committed by the Japanese AggressorsIt is more than half a century since Japan surrendered in 1945, but we must never forget the atrocities committed by the Japanese aggressors against the Chinese people.They pursued in China the policy of "burn all, kill all, and loot all." They slaughtered millions of people and left vast expanses of the land in ruins, throwing the Chinese people into deep misery. In the Nanjing Massacre alone, more than 350, 000 people were killed in cold blood and countless houses were reduced to ashes. The Japanese fascists were indeed the most brutal and bloodthirsty beasts. When faced with the brutal aggressor, the Chinese people started the War of Resistance against Japan. After eight years of fierce fighting, we finally drove them out of our country. While striving for modernization we must keep in mind what we had suffered at the hands of the Japanese invaders, strengthen our country persistently and defend the fruits of our modernization effort.Unit10George Stephenson was born on June 9, 1781, in Wylam, Britain. At the age of 8 he worked as a herdboy. When he was still young, Stephenson was interested in making little models of engines of clay and sticks. However, he had not learned to read until 17. Later he became a well-known engineer through self-study. He invented the first successful steam locomotive and built the first railway to carry passengers, which was opened to traffic in 1825. He was called the Founder of Railways. He died in 1848.Unit 1司法部门向警察倒打一耙迈克·罗伊克乔尔·史密斯身体不好，正在考虑退休，住到田纳西州一个安静的小木屋去。

“西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页，”妻子告诉我说，“现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。就在我们说话的当儿，两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。这么多广告，我们可怎么办?”
“你让孩子们快干，”我指示说。“他们都是大学生了。他们自己的事得由他们自己去做。”
第二天中午，我回到旅馆，看到一份紧急留言，要我马上给妻子回电话。她的声音高得很不自然，而且有些颤抖。家里又运到了好几卡车的广告插页。“有百货公司的，廉价商店的，杂货店的，食品店的，汽车行的，等等。有些像整本杂志那么厚。我们这里有数十万页，说不定是几百万页的广告!我们家整个房子从东墙到西墙，从南墙到北墙统统堆满了广告，一堆又一堆，比你大儿子还要高。现在只剩下一点点空间，刚够一个人走进去，从十一种插页中各取一份，卷在一起，套上橡皮筋，再塞进一只塑料袋内。我们的塑料袋足够供应全美所有的外卖餐厅!”她越讲声音越响，几乎震耳欲聋。“这么多的广告必须在星期日早晨七点以前统统送出去。”
“我不在乎失不失尊严，”大儿子回答说。
“我可以忍受，”他的弟弟附和道。
“看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子，真使我痛心，”我说。
孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。我听了很高兴，便离城出差去了。午夜时分，我已远离家门，在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。电话铃响了，是妻子打来的。她想知道我这一天过得可好。
“嗯，你最好让孩子们尽快地捆扎装袋，等会儿我再跟你谈。我有个午餐约会。”
我餐后回来，妻子又打来一只紧急电话。
“你午餐吃得不错吧?”她用悦耳的声音问道。我吃的牛排好极了，但这次我学乖了，还是不说为妙。
“糟透了，”我报告说。“一种什么酸溜溜的鱼，我想大概是鳗鲡吧。”
“不错嘛。你的大学生儿子已经雇了他们的弟弟妹妹和两三个邻居的小孩帮忙，工钱一人五块，建起了流水作业线。用外交术语来说，事情‘有进展’。”

大学英语精读第三册翻译Unit 1 A Brush with the Law一个青年发现，在大街上毫无明显目的地游逛会招致警方的责罚。
误会一个接一个发生，最终他只得出庭受审……与警察的一场小冲突我平生只有一次跟警方发生纠葛。
被捕和出庭的整个过程在当时是一件非常不愉快的事，但现在倒成了一篇很好的故事。
这次经历令人可恼之处在于围绕着我的被捕以及随后庭上审讯而出现的种种武断专横的情况。
事情发生在大约12年前，其时正是2月。
几个月前我中学毕业了，但上大学要等到10月。
当时我还在家中居住。
一天早晨，我来到里士满。
这里是伦敦的一个郊区，离我住的地方不远。
我在寻找一份临时工作，以便积些钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗，当时又无急事，我便慢悠悠看看橱窗，逛逛公园。
有时干脆停下脚步，四处张望。
现在看来，一定是这种明显的毫无目的的游逛，使我倒了霉。
事情发生在11点半钟光景。
我在当地图书馆谋职未成，刚刚走出来，便看到一个人穿越马路，显然是要来跟我说话。
我以为他要问我时间，不料他说他是警官，要逮捕我。
起先我还以为这是在开玩笑，但又一个警察出现在我的面前，这次是位身着警服的，这一下使我确信无疑了。
“为什么要抓我?”我问道。
“到处游荡，企图作案，”他说。
“作什么案?”我又问。
“偷窃，”他说。
“偷什么?”我追问。
“牛奶瓶，”他板着面孔说道。
“噢，”我说。
事情原来是这样的，在这一地区屡次发生小的扒窃案，特别是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着，我犯了一个大错误。
其时我年方19，留一头蓬乱的长发，自认为是60年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
所以我想装出一副冷漠的、对这一事件满不在乎的样子。
于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说，“你们跟踪我多久啦?”这样一来，在他们眼里，我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了，也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋。
几分钟后，开来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去，”他们说。
“把手放到前排座位的靠背上，不准挪动。
”他们分别坐在我的两边。

Unit4一、课文A sportswriter thinks he's met another crank. Instead, he finds a true winner.一位体育专栏作家以为他碰上了一个怪人。
结果他却发现了一个真正的赢家。
A Fan's NotesBill PlaschkeThe e-mail was in some respects similar to other nasty letters I receive. It took me to task for my comments on the Los Angeles Dodgers and argued that I had got everything wrong. However, the note was different from the others in at least two ways.一位球迷的评论比尔·普拉施基这封电子邮件在某些方面与我收到的其他刻薄的信件相似。
它痛斥我对洛杉矶道奇队的评论，并争辩说我把一切全都搞错了。
然而，这个评论与其他的评论至少有两个方面不同。
This note contained more details than the usual "You're an idiot." It included vital statistics on the team's performance. It was written by someone who knew the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as I thought I did.与通常那些“你是个白痴”的评论不同的是，这一评论含有更多的细节。
它包含了该队比赛表现的关键数据。
写这篇评论的人对洛杉矶道奇队的了解绝不亚于我自认为对它的了解。
And this note was signed. The writer's name was Sarah Morris.而且这一评论是署名的。
作者的名字叫萨拉·莫里斯。
I was impressed. I wrote her back. Little did I know that this would be the start of a most unusual relationship.我被深深打动，于是给她回信。
一点也没有想到这一封信引出了一段非同寻常的来往。
May I ask you a question? For two years I have been running my own website about the Dodgers. How did you become a baseball editorialist? That is my deam.我可以问您一个问题吗？两年来，我一直经营着我的道奇队网站。
你是怎么成为一个棒球评论专栏作家的？这可是我的梦。
This was Sarah's second e-mail, and it came just as expected. Every time I smile at someone, they ask me for a job. But something else caught my eye. The misspelling in that last line. The part about "my deam."这是萨拉的第二封电子邮件，它的到来一点也不意外。
我每次对人微笑一下，人家就向我要一份工作。
但是另一个事儿引起了我的注意。
这就是信的最后一行字里的拼写错误，是关于“我的梦”那一部分。
Maybe Sarah Morris was just a lousy typist. But maybe she was truly searching for something, yet was only one letter from finding it.也许萨拉就是一个打字很糟糕的人。
但也许她真的是在寻找某个目标，但就是一字之差，还没有找着。
It was worth one more response, I asked her to explain.这就值得再回她一封信，于是我让她解释。
I am 30 years old. ... Because I have a physical handicap, it took me five years to complete my associate's degree. ... During the season I average 55 hours a week writing game reports, editorials, researching and listening and / or watching games.我今年30岁。
……因为我身有残疾，花了5年的时间才读完大专拿到文凭。
……在棒球赛季，我每个星期平均花55小时写球赛报道，写评论，做研究，听比赛或者看比赛。
Sarah called her website Dodger Place. I searched, and found nothing. Then I reread her e-mail and discovered an address buried at the bottom: /spunky/dodgers.萨拉称她的网站为“道奇地”。
我搜索了一下，什么也没有找着。
后来我重读她的电子邮件，发现在她的电子邮件最底下挂了一个地址：/spunky/dodgers。
I clicked there. It wasn't fancy. But she covered the team with the seriousness ofa writer. Still, I wondered, is anybody reading?我点击该地址。
网站并不花哨。
但是她以一个作家的严肃态度对该队进行了详细报道。
不过，我还是不禁要问，有人读吗？Nobody ever signs my guestbook. I get one letter a month.从来没有人在我的来宾登记簿上签名。
我一个月收到一封信。
So here was a physically handicapped woman, covering the Dodgers as extensively as any reporter in the country, yet writing for an obscure website with an impossible address, with a readership of about two.所以，这里是一个身体残疾的妇女，她对道奇队的报道之广泛不亚于美国任何一个记者，可她却在为一个几乎不为人知的网站写作，网站的名字很怪很难记，读者大概有两个人。
That "deam" was missing a lot more than an r, I thought.我想她那个梦所缺的远远不只是拼写里头少了一个字母r。
I started my own website in hopes of finding a job. No luck. So what if my maximum typing speed is eight words per minute because I use a head pointer to type? My brain works fine. I have dedication to my work. That is what makes people successful.我建起了自己的网站希望能找到一份工作。
不过运气不佳。
因为我使用一根绑在头上的小棒打字，最高的打字速度是每分钟8个字，可这又有什么要紧的呢？我的脑子挺好使，我对工作非常专注。
这才是人们成功的关键。
A head pointer?使用一根绑在头上的小棒打字？I asked her how long it took her to compose one of her usual 400-word filings.我问她要用多少时间写她那通常为400字的文章。
.Three to four hours.三到四小时。
I did something I've never before done with an Internet stranger.我做了一件我以前从来没有和互联网上的陌生人做过的事情。
I asked Sarah Morris to call me.我让萨拉·莫里斯给我打电话。
I have a speech disability making it impossible to use the phone.我说话有障碍，无法使用电话。
That proved it. This was obviously an elaborate hoax. This writer was probably a 45-year-old male plumber.这就证明了我的怀疑。
这显然是一个精心策划的骗局。
这一位所谓女性作家很可能是一个45岁的男性管子工。
I decided to end the correspondence. But then I received another e-mail.我决定结束与此人的通信。
可就在那时我又收到一封电子邮件。
My disability is cerebral palsy. ... It affects motor control. ... When my brain tells my hands to hit a key, I would move my legs, hit the table, and six other keys in the process.我的残疾是脑瘫。
……它影响肌肉神经的控制。
……当我的脑子告诉我的手去敲击字键时，我会挪动我的腿，碰击桌子，并在这一过程中同时碰击六个其他的字键。
When my mom explained my handicap, she told me I could accomplish anything I wanted to if I worked three times as hard as other people.当我的母亲解释我的残疾时，她告诉我说，如果我比别人努力三倍，我就可以成就我要做的任何事情。
