Unit 2

We have not found life on any other planets yet.

我们还没有在其他行星上发现生命。

Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.

科学家认为亿万年以前地球上已有生命存在了。然而,我们还没有在任何其他行星上发现生命。

The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun.

地球是颗行星,它绕着太阳转。其他七颗行星也绕着太阳转。None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them.

这些行星没有一颗像地球那样的环境,因此科学家们认为他们不会在它们上面发现生命。

The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way.

太阳和它的行星被叫做太阳系,我们的太阳系是一个由恒星和行星组成的更大的星群里的一小部分,这个星系叫银河系,或者银河系。

There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.

在银河系中有数十亿计的恒星,而我们的太阳仅仅是其中之一。Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. 科学家们也已经在宇宙中发现了许多其他星系。

They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.

它们很遥远,它们的光必须要经过许多年才能到达我们。因此,宇宙有多大?那是难以想象的。

Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system.

科学家们已经发射了宇宙飞船到火星上去拍摄照片。他们甚至发射了宇宙飞船到太阳系之外进行探索。

However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy.

但是,没有一艘宇宙飞船已经旅行到足够远而到达我们银河系中的其他恒星。

Scientists have always asked the questions: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space?(题目)

科学家们一直在问这些问题:宇宙中有这么多的星球,我们是孤单的呢,还是在远方的太空中还有生命存在呢?

Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets?

有其他行星到地球的来客吗?

Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.

为什么还没有人和我们联系?我们不知道答案……

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY 地理之谜 人们也许觉得奇怪,为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史,就能弄清楚这个问题。 首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合了起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰,你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着,英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来,名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是,当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时,这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后,英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。然而,爱尔兰的南部却不愿组建联合王国,它分离出去,并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来,而组成了联合王国,这一点从新的联合王国国旗上就可以看得出来。 值得赞扬的是,这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作,例如在货币和国际关系方面;但是有些制度仍然区别很大。例如,北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时,它们有着各自的足球队。在这四个国家中,英格兰是最大的。为了方便起见,它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部,中部地区叫做英格兰中部,最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做英格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部,而多数大工业城市都位于中部和北部。尽管,英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大,但是他们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队,有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾,这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。 最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆,有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口,有由盎格鲁——撒

In practice, limiting equilibrium methods are used in the analysis of slope stability. It is considered that failure is on the point of occurring along an assumed or a known failure surface.The shear strength required to maintain a condition of limiting equilibrium is compared with the available shear strength of the soil,giving the average factor of safety along the failure surface.The problem is considered in two dimensions,conditions of plane strain being assumed.It has been shown that a two-dimensional analysis gives a conservative result for a failure on a three-dimensional(dish-shaped) surface. Analysis for the Case of φu =0 This analysis, in terms of total stress,covers the case of a fully saturated clay under undrained conditions, . For the condition immediately after construction.Only moment equilibrium is considered in the analysis.In section, the potential failure surface is assumed to be a circular arc.

英语第二单元课文翻译

爱是一门艺术吗? 艾里奇·弗罗姆爱是不是一门艺术?如果是,就需要知识和努力。或者,爱是否是一种令人愉悦的情感? 那么一个人能否经历全看他的造化,只有幸运儿才能坠入爱河。如今大多数的人都相信运气,这本小书却是以爱是一门艺术为前提的。 并不是说人们认为爱无关紧要。人们对于爱总是如饥似渴,看浩如烟海的爱情悲喜剧,听数百首拙劣的爱情歌曲。但很少有人认为关于爱还有需要学习的地方。 对爱的这种独特想法是基于几个错误观念,人们如果接受其中之一或者几个观念便会持有这种观点。多数人认为所谓爱就是“被人爱”,而不是“爱别人”或爱一个人的能力。所以,他们认为问题就在于如何被爱,如何变得可爱。他们通过几种途径来达到这一目的。其中尤为男士所喜用的是成为成功人士,在自己的社会地位许可的范围内获得最大程度的权利和财产。其二,尤为女士所喜用的是尽力塑造体形,注重衣着,从而使自己更加富于魅力。另外一些方式,则为男女所共同采用,如使自己举止得体,谈吐幽默,以及乐于助人、谦虚、内敛等,以便使自己更加具有吸引力。很多让自己变得可爱的方式和使自己事业有成的途径相同,如“赢得朋友,影响其他人”等。事实上,我们所处的文化中,大部分人认为要使自己变得可爱,必须既受大众欢迎,又要兼具性的魅力。 导致“爱不需要学习”这种看法的第二个错误观念是:人们想当然地认为爱的问题在于“对象”,而不在于“能力”。他们认为去爱是件很简单的事,而找到自己要爱的对象或者说爱自己的对象却很困难。造成这种态度的几个原因植根于现代社会的发展。其中一个原因是:在二十世纪,对“爱的对象”的选择出现巨大变化。在维多利亚时代,同许多传统文化一样,一般说来,爱情并非那种最终导致婚姻的自然产生的个人情感体验。恰恰相反,婚姻是按传统习俗约定好的,或为父母之命,或为媒妁之言,也可能无需这些媒介;婚姻是按社会习俗的考虑决定的,婚姻既成,爱情便自然应该随之培育了。在过去的几十年的西方世界,浪漫爱情几乎成了永恒不变的主题。在美国,虽然对社会传统的考虑并未完全消除,很大程度上人们却在寻找“浪漫爱情”,那是一种个人的爱情体验,其最终会导致婚姻。这种自由恋爱的新概念一定大大增加了“对象”相对于“功能”的重要性。 同此因素密切相关的是当代文化的另一重要特征。我们整个文化都是以购买的欲望和互惠交换的理念为基础的。现代人的幸福在于看着商店橱窗时的兴奋,在于购买买得起的商品,或者用现金或分期付款。于是,他(或者她)也以同样的方式去看别人。对一个男人来说,有魅力的女孩子是他们要追求的对象,而魅力男性之于女人亦如此。“有魅力”通常之意为觅偶市场上那些受到人们欢迎并努力求取的性格特质。什么样的人有魅力,无论外表还是思想均由时代潮流决定。二十年代,强壮又性感,喝酒抽烟的女孩子被认为具有魅力;如今,家庭型的羞涩的姑娘更合时代潮流。十九世纪末本世纪初,雄心勃勃,敢作敢为的男人才能称得上有诱惑性的“包装”,而如今男人则必须宽容,善于交际。无论怎样,只有当对方的这些商品化的特征与自身所具备特征对称的情况下,人才会培养起爱的感觉。我一心要找一件划算的货物,其不但要有可观的社会价值,同时考虑到我本人的资质与能力,也就是说对方也会需要我。这样当两个人考虑到自身交换价值的局限之后,认为自己在这一市场找到了力所能及的最好商品的时候,就开始恋爱了。通常,和购买房地产一样,将会发展起来的潜能在这种讨价还价中起着显著的作用。在一个以市场为导向,财富为重要价值的文化中,人类的爱情关系也遵从与商品与劳动力市场中的同样交换模式也就不足为奇了。 第三个造成爱无需学习的错误想法是错误地将“一见钟情”这种初始体验与永久性的热恋(或者可以说“在恋爱中”)混为一谈。生活中的我们,两人萍水相逢,突然彼此之间心灵的围墙坍塌,渐感亲爱,融为一体。这个融和的瞬间是一生中最让人激动幸福的时刻。对于那

You can clarify this question if you study British history. 人们可能会奇怪为什么用不同的词语来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家。如果你研究英国的历史,你就能够弄明白这个问题。 First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.

Civil Engineering Civil engineering, the oldest of the engineering specialties, is the planning, design, construction, and management of the built environment. This environment includes all structures built according to scientific principles, from irrigation and drainage systems to rocket-launching facilities. 土木工程学作为最老的工程技术学科,是指规划,设计,施工及对建筑环境的管理。此处的环境包括建筑符合科学规范的所有结构,从灌溉和排水系统到火箭发射设施。 Civil engineers build roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, harbors, power plants, water and sewage systems, hospitals, schools, mass transit, and other public facilities essential to modern society and large population concentrations. They also build privately owned facilities such as airports, railroads, pipelines, skyscrapers, and other large structures designed for industrial, commercial, or residential use. In addition, civil engineers plan, design, and build complete cities and towns, and more recently have been planning and designing space platforms to house self-contained communities. 土木工程师建造道路,桥梁,管道,大坝,海港,发电厂,给排水系统,医院,学校,公共交通和其他现代社会和大量人口集中地区的基础公共设施。他们也建造私有设施,比如飞机场,铁路,管线,摩天大楼,以及其他设计用作工业,商业和住宅途径的大型结构。此外,土木工程师还规划设计及建造完整的城市和乡镇,并且最近一直在规划设计容纳设施齐全的社区的空间平台。 The word civil derives from the Latin for citizen. In 1782, Englishman John Smeaton used the term to differentiate his nonmilitary engineering work from that of the military engineers who predominated at the time. Since then, the term civil engineering has often been used to refer to engineers who build public facilities, although the field is much broader 土木一词来源于拉丁文词“公民”。在1782年,英国人John Smeaton为了把他的非军事工程工作区别于当时占优势地位的军事工程师的工作而采用的名词。自从那时起,土木工程学被用于提及从事公共设施建设的工程师,尽管其包含的领域更为广阔。 Scope. Because it is so broad, civil engineering is subdivided into a number of technical specialties. Depending on the type of project, the skills of many kinds of civil engineer specialists may be needed. When a project begins, the site is surveyed and mapped by civil engineers who locate utility placement—water, sewer, and power lines. Geotechnical specialists perform soil experiments to determine if the earth can bear the weight of the project. Environmental specialists study the project’s impact on the local area: the potential for air and
