4 Translate the paragraphs into Chinese.

1 My flying dreams were believable as a landscape by Dali, so real that I would awake with a sudden shock, a breathless sense of having tumbled like Icarus from the sky and caught myself on the soft bed just in time. These nightly adventures in space began when Superman started invading my dreams and teaching me how to fly. He used to come roaring by in his shining

blue suit with his cape whistling in the wind, looking remarkably like my Uncle Frank who was living with mother and me. In the magic whirling of his cape I could hear the wings of a hundred seagulls, the motors of a thousand planes.

我的飞行梦像达利的风景画那么真实可信，以致于自己常常会在一阵惊吓中醒

来，好像伊卡罗斯那样从空中摔下来，虽然发现自己刚好掉到软软的床上，但也

被吓得喘不过气来。当超人开始侵入我的梦乡，并教给我飞行的技巧之后，我每

夜的太空冒险便开始了。超人身着耀眼的蓝色衣服，肩披随风飕飕作响的斗篷，

经常从我身边呼啸而过。他长得太像我的舅舅弗兰克了，舅舅那会儿正跟妈妈和

我住在一起。当超人的斗篷神奇地旋转时，我好像能听见上百只海鸥的振翅声，

上千架飞机的马达轰鸣声。

2 In contrast, children on the Pacific island of Tonga, studied by Helen Morton, are regularly beaten by their parents and older siblings. They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality of social competence (or poto as the T ongans call it). They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted at, or beaten. Children are thought of as mischievous; they cry or want to feed simply because they are naughty, and beatings are at their most severe between the ages of three and five when children are seen as particularly wilful. Parents believe that social competence can only be achieved through discipline and physical punishment, and treat their children in ways that have seemed very harsh to outsiders.

相反，根据海伦·莫顿的研究，太平洋岛国汤加的儿童经常挨父母和哥哥姐姐的

打。人们认为儿童和成年人相比更像疯子，因为他们缺乏被大家看重的社会能力

（汤加人称之为poto）。小孩子经常因为笨手笨脚而挨骂，他们连摔跤都会被嘲笑、呵斥，甚至被打。人们认为儿童很顽皮，都是因为淘气他们才哭闹，或者要东西吃。在大人看来，三至五岁的儿童尤其任性，因此他们打这个年龄段的孩子也打得最狠。父母们相信，只有靠训导和体罚才能使孩子获得社会能力，所以他们用一种在外人看来非常严厉的方式对待孩子。

5 Translate the paragraphs into English.

1 在火车站上，有一位老人给我讲述了他参加解放战争的经历，那些战斗故事对我有着极大的吸引力。后来他上了车，列车从我身边隆隆地开走了。可那些故事仍然是那么清晰可见，对于英雄们的壮举，我钦佩不已。(fascination; roar; marvel

at)

At the railway station, an old man told me his experience in the Liberation War, the fighting stories of which were of great fascination to me. Then he got up on the train and it roared past me. But the stories were so real and definite that I greatly marvelled at the courageous deeds of those war heroes.

2 行之有效的环保政策不仅能创造良好的生态环境，还能大大降低能源消耗。回顾这个地区近年来的发展情况，我们惊喜地发现地区政府强制实行的环保政策不但没有受到任何批评，还促使居民增强了环保意识，尽其所能节约能源。

(consumption; impose; take exception to; prompt)

Effective environmental policy might bring about a good environment, as well as reducing energy consumption. Looking back on the recent development of this region, we find, to our pleasant surprise, that little exception has been taken to the

environmental policy of the local government,__and the policy has also raised the environmental awareness of the local residents and prompted them to save energy as possible as they could.

公外翻译答案第一课 5 Translate the sentences into Chinese. 1．Finally, with my mother red in the face and short of breath, we find Room 8, I unlock the door, and we all walk in.（介词with表示状态，不必直译。）等我们终于找到8号房间的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，累得上气不接下气。我打开门锁，我们都了进去。 2. She impresses me, and I feel so ignorant that I shouldn’t even breathe the same air as her. 她给我留下了深刻的印象，我觉得自己太无知了，甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。 3.I don’t know why I have to be introduced to literature but the woman in the admissions office says it’s acquirement even though I’ve read Dostoyevsky and Melville and that’s admirable for someone without high school education. (翻译时将be introduced to literature译成主动语态更通顺。) 不知道为什么我非得了解文学。可是招生办公室的那位女士说，虽然我读过陀思妥耶夫斯基和梅维尔的小说，虽然一个没上过高中的人能读这些书的确令人敬佩，但这门课是必修课。 4.I’m in heaven and the first thing to do is buy the required textbooks, cover them with the purple and white NYU book jackets so that people in the subway will look at me admiringly.（I am in heaven不能直译成“我上了天堂”，这句话应意译。）我乐得飘飘然了，第一件事就是去买所需要的课本，然后用纽约大学紫白相间的护封把它们套起，这样地铁里的乘客就会向我投来艳羨的目光了。 5.Then the professor tells us ideas don’t drop fully formed from the skies, that the Pilgrims were, in the long run, children of the Reformation with an accompanying world-view and their attitudes to children were so informed. (注意两个children 的翻译，第一个应意译。），接着，教授告诉我们，观念并不是从天而降的现成品。从长远来看，清教徒是宗教改革运动的产物，他们继承了宗教改革运动的世界观，并且他们对孩子的态度也由此体现了宗教改革运动的思想。 6 Translate the sentences into English 1. 他们对业余剧社的介绍给苏菲留下了深刻的印象，于是她就报了名。（Amateur Dramatics; sign up for） Their introduction of Amateur Dramatics impressed Sophie so much that she signed up for it. 2. 网络教育为全职人员提供了利用业余时间接受继续教育的机会。(work full time) Online education provides those who work full time with opportunities to receive further education in their spare time, 3. 刚上大学时，他不知道是否需要把老师讲的内容一字不落地都记下来。(be supposed to; scribble down) When he first arrived at university, he was not sure whether he was supposed to scribble down every word out of the professor’s mouth.
