Unit 1
要提高我们的英语水平,关键是多读,多写,多听,多说。
此外
,尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。如果你脑子里没有
储存大量好的英语文章,你就不能用英语自由
地表达自己的思
想。一般学一边总结经验也是很有帮助,因为这样做,我们就能
搞明白哪种学习
方法是更有效的,能够产生最理想的效果。只要
我们坚持努力学习,到时候我们就会完成掌握英语的任务
。
To improve our English, it is critical to do
more reading,
writing, listening and speaking.
Besides, learning by heart as many
well-
written essays as possible is also very important.
Without an
enormous store of good English
writing in your head you cannot
express
yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to
summarize our
experience as we go along, for
in so doing, we can figure out which
way of
learning is more effective and will produce the
most
desirable result. As long as we keep
working hard on it, we will in
due course
accomplish the task of mastering English.
Unit 2
随着捐款源源不断地进来,我校明年的财务状况会好多了。
这样我们就
能集中应对我们作为教育工作者必须承担的最重要
的任务:鼓励学生实现他们的学业目标,培养他们成为
有责任感、
靠的住的人,使他们对将来的生活有所准备,并在他们追求物质
及精神满足的过程中
给予引导。
With more and more donations
coming in, our university will
be much better
off financially next year. We will thus be able to
focus on the most important task that we,
educators, must take on: to
encourage students
to attain their academic goals, to train them to
be
dependable and responsible individuals, to
prepare them for the life
ahead, and to guide
them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as
material satisfaction.
Unit 3
约翰逊先生的儿子乔治爱在晚上听重金属(heavy metal)音
乐,这使社区其他居民
无法入眠。疲惫不堪的邻居们终于失去了
耐心,决定直接干预。他们打电话给约翰逊先生,坦率地把想法
告诉了他。约翰逊先生向邻居保证他一定会解决这个问题。放下
电话他便去训斥儿子:“你这是
怎么了?你该懂得不能为了你自
己的娱乐而妨碍(disturb)别人。”结果乔治拿CD跟同学换了
电
脑游戏软件。
George, the son of Mr. Johnson,
liked listening to heavy metal
music in the
evenings, which made it hard for other residents
in the
community to fall asleep. Eventually
the exhausted neighbors lost
their patience
and decided on direct interference. They called
Mr.
Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what
they were thinking. Mr.
Johnson assured them
that he would certainly settle the issue. As
soon as he put down the phone he scolded his
son, “What has come
over you? You
should know better than to disturb others for your
own amusement.” In the end George traded his
CD’s for computer
games software from his
classmates.
Unit 4
也许你羡慕我,因为我可以借助计算机在家里工作。
我也这
么想,互联网使我的工作方便多了。我可以通过电子邮件撰写,
编辑并交出我的文章,在
网上与我的同事聊天,与老板讨论工作。
我用鼠标一击,马上就能拿到我要的一切资料,获得最新的消息
。
可是,另一方面,用网络通信有时也令人沮丧。系统有可能瘫痪,
更糟的是,因为没有面对面
交谈的情感提示,键出的词有时似乎
很难理解。
Perhaps you envy me
for being able to work from home on the
computer. I agree that the Internet has made
my job a lot easier. I can
write,submit and
edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues
on
line and discuss work with my boss. With a
click of the mouse, I can
get all the data I
need and keep up with the latest news. But then,
communicating through the Net can be
frustrating at times. The
system may crash.
Worse still, without the emotional cues of
face-to-face communication, the typed words
sometimes seem
difficult to interpret.
Unit 5
众多事实证明这一说法:要想让自己很快从低落的
(n
egative)情绪中解脱出来,你得让自己哭。你不必为“哭”
而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪
一起流出身体。
看一看唐娜(Donna)的例子吧。她的儿子在一次车祸中不
幸丧生。这次
打击之大使她欲哭无泪。她说:“直到两个星期后
的一天,我才开始放声痛哭。然后,我便觉得好像一块
大石头从
我肩上抬走了,是眼泪将我带回到了现实之中,帮助我度过危
机。”
Numerous facts bear out the argument that in
order to recover
speedily from negative
emotion, you should allow yourself to cry.
You
don’t have to be ashamed of crying. Anxiety and
sorrow can
flow out of the body along with
tears.
Consider the case of Donna, Her son
unfortunately died in a car
accident. The
intensity of the blow made her unable to cry. She
said,
“It was not until two weeks later that I
began to cry. And then I felt
as if a big
stone had been lifted from my shoulders. It was
the tears
that brought me back to earth and
helped me survive the crisis.”
Unit 6
南希·霍普金斯(Nancy Hopkins)是麻省理工学院(MIT)
的生物学教授。她
渴望知识,努力工作。然而,作为一名科学家,
她不能不注意到校园里男女不平等(gender in
equality)的各种表
现。男女教授做同样的工作,但是到提升的时候,行政领导却很
有
选择性。具有讽刺意味的是在取得这么多的文化进步以后,妇
女在高等学府里却依然处于
不利的地位。当她增加实验室面积的
请求被拒之后,她知道她必须起来抗争。因此她咬紧牙关向校长申述。这次抗争以胜利告终,南希也因此变成了男女平等的倡导
者。
Nancy
Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves
knowledge and works hard. However, as a
scientist, she could not
help noticing all
kinds of indications of gender inequality on
campus.
Men and women professors did the same
work, but when it came to
promotion the
administrators were rather selective. It was
ironic that
after so much cultural progress,
women were still at a disadvantage
in
institutions of higher education. When her request
for more lab
space was refused, she knew she
had to fight. So she gritted her teeth
and
complained to the President. The fight ended in
victory and
Nancy was converted into a gender-
equality advocate.
Unit 7
虽然英语是如何产生的对许多人
来说还是个谜,语言学家认
为它和很多欧洲语言来自同一个源头,即印欧母语。英语最初是
在公
元五世纪入侵英格兰的盎格鲁—撒克逊人使用的。他们将英
语的基本词汇传给了我们。在十五个多世纪的
发展中,英语通过
大量借用丰富了自己。随着英国移民登陆美洲并建立了独立的美
利坚合众国,
英语又增添了一个新的变种:美语。虽然有人担忧
英语的发展失控了,但大多数以英语为母语的人对他们
的语言的
宽容性感到自豪。
Though how the English
language came into existence remains
a mystery
to many people,linguists believe that English and
most
other European languages have descended
from a common source:
the Indo-European parent
language. English was first spoken by the
Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth
century. They
passed onto us the basic
vocabulary of English. In over fifteen
centuries of its development, English has
enriched itself by massive
borrowing. As
British immigrants landed in America and
established
the United States as an
independent nation, a new variety was added
to
the English language: American English. Though
some people
worry that the language is running
out of control, many native
speakers of
English take pride in the tolerance of their
language.
Unit 8
这个村庄曾因其优美的自然环境而闻名于世,这里终年树
木
长青,鲜花盛开,清澈的溪水从山间流出,穿过棋盘般的水稻田。
鸟儿整天在唱歌,鹿悠闲地
来来往往。然而,在使用滴滴涕和其
他杀虫剂后,这个村子好像中了什么邪。灾难接踵而来。鸡突然死去;牛羊得了怪病;农场主抱怨说有种恶心的感觉,使村里的
医生感到莫名其妙。曾经是生机勃勃
的村广场,现在变得空空荡
荡。
This village was once
famous for its beautiful natural
surroundings. All the year round, the
trees were green and the
flowers in bloom.
Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a
checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all
day, and deer came and
went in a leisurely
manner. However, with the coming of DDT and
other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have
settled over the village.
Misfortunes came one
after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle
and sheep were stricken by mysterious
maladies, and farmers
complained about a
sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor.
The village square, once throbbing with life,
was now deserted.
