新编大学英语(第三版)第二册(2)课文及课后翻译
第一单元善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。
因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。
但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。
不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。
即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。
对他来说这是一种自豪。
4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。
这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。
一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。
曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。
5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。
他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。
6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。
他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。
如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。
7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。
但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。
8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。
当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。
他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。
他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。
9 有一件事我至今难忘。
一次沙滩聚会上，人们打了起来，每个人都在推推搡搡，拳头你来我往。
于是他无法袖手旁观，但没有人帮忙，在松软的沙滩上他站不起来。
困窘之际，他开始大叫：“谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！”10 没人坐下和他打。
但是第二天，人们都和他开玩笑说，拳击尚未开始，对手就故意认输了，这还是第一次。
11 我现在才明白，有些事他是通过我，他唯一的儿子，间接参与的。
当我打球（打得很糟糕）的时候，他也在“打”。
我加入海军，他也“加入”。
当我休假回家的时候，他总要我去他的办公室。
在介绍我的时候，他实际上是在说：“这是我的儿子，但也是我。
如果不是这种情形的话，我也能做这些。
”可是这些话从没有说出来。
12 父亲已去世多年。
但我还是经常想起他。
不知道他当时是否感觉到了我曾不愿意别人看见我和他走在一起。
如果他感觉到了，我很遗憾我从没有告诉过他后来我感到多么难过，多么渺小，多么后悔。
每当我为琐事抱怨的时候，每当我嫉妒别人好运的时候，每当我没有一颗“善心”的时候，就想起了他。
13 在这种时候，我就把手放在他的手臂上，来重新获得平衡，并说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”献给凯特的吻1 作为晚间护土，每天下午我值班的时候，都要走过养老院的过道，在每个门口停下来看一看，聊一聊。
经常，凯特和克里斯两个人腿上放着大大的剪贴本，他们看着相片，缅怀往事。
凯特很骄傲地向我展示逝去岁月的相片：克里斯——高个，金黄色头发，潇洒，而凯特是美丽的，黑头发，爱笑。
两个年轻的恋人穿越时间隧道灿烂地笑着。
他们现在坐在那儿，光线洒在他们白发苍苍的头上，他们那饱经沧桑而布满皱纹的的脸上荡漾着对往事的回忆的笑容，一切的往事都被照相机摄下并永久性地保留在了剪贴簿上，这时候他们看起来真可爱。
2 年轻人对爱情的了解少得可怜，我常常这样想。
然而对于这样珍贵的东西却以为他们才拥有专利权，那真是太可笑了。
爱情真正意味着什么，老年人知道；年轻人只能猜测。
3 凯特和克里斯总是在一起——在食堂、休息厅，沿着长廊和草坪漫步，总在一起，总是拉着手。
我们这些工作人员吃晚饭的时候，有时凯特和克里斯正慢慢地走过餐厅门口。
这时话题就会转向对这一对老夫妇的讨论，关于他们的爱和忠诚执著，以及他们之一去世了另一个会怎么样。
我们知道克里斯是强者，凯特总是依靠着他。
4 如果克里斯先去世，凯特会怎么过生活？我们常常在想这一问题。
5 像往常一样，到了上床睡觉的时候，我就把晚上的药拿给凯特，她就坐在她的椅子里，穿着睡衣和拖鞋，等着我的到来。
在我和克里斯的注视下，凯特吃下药，然后克里斯帮她从椅子上扶到床上，给她那瘦弱的身上盖好被子。
6 看到这一爱的举动，我又一次地想（尽管已经想过上千次了），天哪，养老院为什么不给那些老年夫妇提供双人床？整个一生中他们都睡在一起，但是到了养老院，却要他们睡单人床。
一夜之间他们就被剥夺了一生的安慰。
7 这种政策真愚蠢，当我看着克里斯手伸上去，关上凯特床头的电灯时常常会这样想。
然后克里斯弯下腰，两人轻轻亲吻。
他拍拍她的脸颊，他们微笑着。
他总是把她床边上的横档拉上以后，然后才转过身去拿自己的药。
当我走到过道上的时候，我能听见克里斯说：“晚安，凯特”以及她回答的声音“晚安，克里斯；”他们的两张床在房间的两边，中间隔着整个房间。
8 我有两天休班，当我回来时，我听到的第一个消息是：“克里斯昨天上午去世了。
”9 “怎么回事？”10 “心脏病，突发。
”11 “凯特怎么样？”12 “不好。
”13 我走进凯特的房间。
她坐在椅子上，一动不动，手放在膝上，目光呆滞。
我握着她的双手说，“凯特，我是菲丽丝。
”14 她的眼睛一动不动，只是呆呆地瞪着。
我用手托着她的下巴，让她慢慢转过头来，好让她看着我。
15 “凯特，我刚刚得知克里斯的事。
我很难过。
”16 听到“克里斯”这个词，她的眼睛重现生机。
她看看我，迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎么突然出现的。
“凯特，是我，菲丽丝。
我对于克里斯的死真的很难过。
”17 她认出我了，于是一脸悲伤，泪如泉涌并沿着脸颊流下来。
“克里斯死了，”她轻声说。
18 “我知道，”我说，“我知道。
”19 我们有一阵子对凯特特别照顾，让她在自己的房间里吃饭，给予她特殊的关注。
接着工作人员帮她渐渐回到敬老院以前的日程安排。
常常，当我走过凯特的房间，我会发现她坐在椅子上，腿上放着剪贴本，悲伤地注视着克里斯的相片。
20 对于凯特来说，晚间睡觉是最难熬的时候。
虽然已允许她从自己的床上搬到克里斯的床上，虽然工作人员一边为她掖好被子，一边与她聊天说笑，凯特却仍然沉默，仍然落落寡欢。
她盖上被子躺下后一个小时，我经过她的房间，总会发现她还没睡，凝视着天花板。
21 几周过去了，她晚上依然不能成眠。
看起来很焦躁，很不安。
为什么？我想着。
为什么晚上比其他时间更难过呢？22 于是，一天夜里我走进她的房间，看见她还是那样毫无睡意，我一时冲动就说：“凯特，会不会是因为没人亲吻你道晚安吧？”俯下身，我吻了吻她那布满皱纹的脸颊。
23 就好像我打开了感情的闸门，眼泪顺着她的脸淌下来，她紧紧抓住我的手。
“克里斯总是亲吻我说晚安，”她哭道。
24 “我知道，”我轻声说。
25 “我很想念他，这么多年以来他总是亲吻我说晚安。
”她停下来让我帮她擦眼泪。
“没有他的吻我就是无法入睡。
”26 她抬头看着我，眼里充满了泪水。
“噢，谢谢你给我一个吻。
”27 她的嘴角浮起一丝微笑。
“你知道”，她知心地对我说，“克里斯过去曾给我唱过一支歌。
”28 “真的？”29 “是的”，她点点了点她那满是白发的头，“我晚上躺在这儿，就想着那首歌。
”30 “怎么唱？”31 凯特笑了，拉着我的手，清了清嗓子。
然后她轻轻地提起嗓子唱起歌来，嗓音虽然年老细弱却依然优美：亲我吧，我亲爱的，让我们分手（睡觉）吧，当我老得做不动梦时，你的吻会永远留在我心里。
第二单元说着不同的语言1 当火星人和金星人最初相聚时，也遇到了我们目前存在的许多人际关系问题。
他们之所以能够解决这些问题是因为他们认识到相互之间的差异。
他们成功的秘诀之一就是良好的交流沟通。
2 具有讽刺意味的是，他们交流沟通的成功却是因为他们说着不同的语言。
当他们遇到问题时，就去找翻译帮助。
众所周知，他们每个人都清楚火星人和金星人语言不同，因此，一旦遇到冲突，他们并不去评论是非或争斗，相反，他们会掏出自己的短语词典，以便更全面地理解对方。
如果这样无效的话，他们就去找翻译帮助。
3 你明白吗？你知道，火星语和金星语用的词相同，但是所表达的含义却不同，这要根据词的用法来决定。
两种语言的措词尽管相似，但是措辞的内涵却不同，所侧重的情感也不同。
相互之间很容易误解。
因此，当交谈出现问题时，他们推断这只不过是一个误解而已，是预料中的，只要得到些许帮助他们就必定能够彼此理解。
他们体验到的是一种相互间的信任和认同，这是我们今天很少能体验到的。
4 即使在今天，我们依然需要翻译。
男人和女人即便用词相同，他们所表达的含义也很少相同。
例如：当女人说：“我觉得你从不听我说话，”她希望对方不要从字面上理解“从不”这个词。
使用“从不”这个词只不过是用来表达她此时此刻感到非常失望。
不要把它当作真实的意思来理解。
5 为了充分表达她们的感受，女人们往往会把事实夸大一点以引起注意，并使用各种最高级，隐喻以及推论。
男人错误地从字面上来理解这些用语。
他们误解了女人想要表达的意思，便常常以不赞同的态度，来回答她们。
下面列有十句女人的抱怨话，这些都是很容易被男人误解的，同时也列出了男人以不赞同的态度可能做出的回答。
容易被男人误解十种抱怨==女人这样说：男人这样回答：==“我们从不一起出去。
”“不对，我们上周还出去过。
”==“所有人都不理睬我。
”“我敢肯定有人关注你。
”==“我太累了，我什么也干不了了。
”“要是你不喜欢自己的工作，那就辞职。
”==“我讨厌所有的一切。
”“我没觉得有什么让你讨厌的。
”==“家里总是乱七八糟。
”“并不总是这么乱。
”==“再也没人听我说话了。
”“我不正在听你说嘛。
”==“没有一样东西管用。
”“你是说这都是我的错？”==“你不再爱我了。
”“当然爱你，要不我干嘛还在这儿。
”==“我们老是处于匆忙状态。
”“没有，周五我们刚轻松过。
”==“我需要更多的爱情。
”“你是说我不够多情？”6 可以看出，习惯于把语言用作传达事实和信息手段的男人们，从“字面”上去理解女人的话是怎样易于产生误解的。
也可以看出，男人的回答又是怎样引起争吵的。
含糊的、缺乏爱心的交流沟通是男女之间的最大问题。
女人们在交往中的第一大抱怨是“我觉得没人听见我说的话。
”7 即使这种抱怨也会被误解和曲解。
8 男人从字面上去理解“我觉得没人听见我说的话”，这使他漠然地对待该抱怨。
他认为只要他能重复说出她的话就表明他听到她所说的话了。

Unit2粗糙的乌龟壳妻子们和她们的孩子在远处的房子里讲民间故事的时候，她们的低声细语，虽然时不时地为歌声所打断，还是传到了丈夫奥康瓦的耳中。
爱克蔚菲和她的女儿，爱金玛，正坐在地板的垫子上。
现在，轮到爱克蔚菲讲故事了。
突然，窃窃私语的声音停止了，屋里所有人的目光都转向了他们最喜欢和最擅长讲故事的人。
“很久很久以前，”她开始讲到，“所有的鸟儿都被邀请去天上参加一个宴会。
他们都非常高兴，开始为这难得的日子做准备。
他们把自己涂成深红色，用颜料在身上画出漂亮的图案。
”“陆龟见到了这些准备活动。
不久，他就发现了这所有的一切其他方面的缺点，陆龟是还是一个行走江湖、见识极广的人；他了解不同民族的风俗，因此，他们都分别起了一个新的名字。
鸟儿们都有了新的名字后，陆龟也起了一个；他被称作‘你们大家’。
”“最后，他们到达了目的地；天上的主人也为他们的光临倍感荣幸。
陆龟一身盛装地站着，并对他们的邀请表达了谢意。
他的言谈举止如此得体，众鸟儿都为把他带来了而感到由衷的高兴，并点头以示他所言不谬。
他们的主人也就顺理成章地把他当作众鸟之主，尤其是，他看起来是那样的与众不同。
”“在各种精挑细捡的果品呈上来又被吃掉之后，天上的招待就把最美味的饭菜放在了他们的客人面前，而这些都是陆龟曾经见过或者梦寐以求的。

一切准备就绪之后，其中的一位招待走上前去，并逐个品尝了一番。
接着他就邀请众鸟儿用餐。
但是，此时的陆龟却一跃而起，问道：‘这盛宴是为谁准备的？’”“于是，陆龟就转向众鸟儿，说道：‘你们都记得，我的名字是‘你们大家’。
而这里的风俗就是先招呼发言人，然后再招呼其他人等。
等我。

Unit 1An impressive English lesson1 If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my son is right. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest anticipation.3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"4 And that was it. The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement. My student's "whoa!" was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.5 There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of English. Surely students should be able to distinguish between their/there/they're or the distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary. They unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is a sense that they should know better.6 Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and listen. For example, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even though the actual stationery items — pads, albums and notebooks —are not nailed down. Friends and loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact, they've just eaten. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.7 Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon our schools, which should be setting high standards of English language proficiency. Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary. Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have little knowledge of these vital structures of language because they also went without exposure to them. Schools fail to adequately teach the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while they should take the responsibility of pushing the young onto the path of competent communication.8 Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must be handled delicately, step by step. The chance came when one day I was driving with my son. As we set out on our trip, he noticed a bird in jerky flight and said, "It's flying so unsteady." I carefully asked, "My son, how is the bird flying?" "What's wrong? Did I say anything incorrectly?" He got lost. "Great! You said incorrectly instead of incorrect. We use adverbs to describe verbs. Therefore, it's flying so unsteadily but not so unsteady."9 Curious about my correction, he asked me what an adverb was. Slowly, I said, "It's a word that tells you something about a verb." It led to his asking me what a verb was. I explained, "Verbs are action words; for example, Dad drives the truck. Drive is the verb because it's the thing Dad is doing."10 He became attracted to the idea of action words, so we listed a few more: fly, swim, dive, run. Then, out of his own curiosity, he asked me if other words had names for their use and functions. This led to a discussion of nouns, adjectives, and articles. Within the span of a 10-minute drive, he had learned from scratch to the major parts of speech in asentence. It was painless learning and great fun!11 Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable possession: often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car.12 The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won't tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey. Here, the vocabulary makes the journey's true colors come alive! A good vocabulary enables you to enjoy whatever you see as you drive along. Equipped with grammar and a good vocabulary, you have flexibility and excellent control. While the road map guides your journey to your destination, an excellent vehicle helps you to fully enjoy all of the sights, sounds and experiences along the way.13 Effective, precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two essential assets for students, but they are not being taught in schools.14 Just this morning, my son and I were eating breakfast when I attempted to add milk to my tea. "Dad," he said, "If I were you, I wouldn't do that. It's sour."15 "Oh my!" I said, swelling with pride toward my son, "That's a grammatically perfect sentence. You used were instead of was."16 "I know, I know," he said with a long agreeable sigh. "It's the subjunctive mood."17 I was, like, whoa!Translation一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。

新编大学英语2第三册课文翻译
新编大学英语2第三册课文翻译Unit 1 羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。
各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。
羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。
脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。
我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。
很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。
一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。
通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。
例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。
而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。
自信者热情、自发地投入生活。
他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。
有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。
相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。
相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。
他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。
害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。
他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。
羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。
我知道这不是真的。
”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。
能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。
由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。
例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。
如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。
人们对自己的期望必须现实。
老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。
当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。
