Unit1(fighting with the force of nature) 1) Mr. Doherty and his family are currently engaged in getting the autumn harvest in on the farm. 2) We must not underestimate the enemy. They are equipped with the most sophisticated weapons. 3) Not having had a job for 3 months, Phil is getting increasingly desperate. 4) Sam, as the project manager, is decisive, efficient, and accurate in his judgement. 5) Since the chemical plant was identified as the source of pollution, the village neighborhood committee decided to close it down at the cost of 100 jobs. Translation The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marchland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered. Unit2 1）There was an unusual quietness in the air, except for the sound of artillery in the distance. 2）The expansion of urban areas in some African countries has been causing a significant fall in living standards and an increase in social problems. 3）The research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are closely correlated with global temperatures. 4）The frequency of the bus service has been improved from 15 to 12 minute recently. 5）The diver stood on the edge of the diving board, poised to jump at the signal from the coach. translation Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams. Unit3 1) Despite the inadequate length of the airstrip in this emergency landing, the veteran pilot managed to stop the plane after taxiing for only a short while. 2) Grilled by the reporters, the movie star eventually blurted (out) that she had undergone two plastic surgeries. 3) We have the technology and our partner has the capital. Working together, we’ll have the future in our hands. 4) If I had known beforehand that you would bring so many friends home, I would have made

新标准大学英语综合教程3 汉译英英译汉 1. Students differ about whether they should have their future mapped out when they are still at university. Some think they should have a definite goal and detailed plan, so as to brace themselves for any challenges, whereas some others think they don't have to think much about the future, because future is full of uncertainties. 2. 经过仔细检查，这位科学家得知自己患了绝症。虽然知道自己将不久于人世，他并没有抱怨命运的不公， 而是准备好好利用剩下的日子，争取加速推进由他和同事们共同发起的那个研究项目，以提前结项。(tick away; make the best of; have a shot at) After a very careful check-up, the scientist was told he had got a fatal disease. Although he knew that his life was ticking away, instead of complaining about the fate, the scientist decided to make the best of the remaining days, and speed up the research project he and his colleagues initiated, and have a shot at completing it ahead of schedule. 1. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence. 我们都觉得在校时间不多了，以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了，所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。当然，下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一，那也太丢人了，因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。以前每天下午五点以后，图书馆就空无一人了，现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座，小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋，他们脸色苍白，睡眼惺忪，却很自豪，好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。 2. Tomorrow? It's all a lie; there isn't a tomorrow. There's only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash. It doesn't even exist. When you wake up in the morning it'll be today again and all the same rules will apply. Tomorrow is just another version of now, an empty field that will remain so unless we start planting some seeds. Your time, which is ticking away as we speak (at about 60 seconds a minute chronologically; a bit faster if you don't invest your time wisely), will be gone and you'll have nothing to show for it but regret and a rear-view mirror full of "could haves", "should haves" and "would haves". 明天行吗？明天只是个谎言；根本就没有什么明天，只有一张我们常常无法兑现的期票。明天甚至压根儿就不存在。你早上醒来时又是另一个今天了，同样的规则又可以全部套用。明天只是现在的另一种说法，是一块空地，除非我们开始在那里播种，否则它永远都是空地。你的时间会流逝（时间就在我们说话的当下嘀嗒嘀塔地走着，每分钟顺时针走60秒，如果你不能很好地利用它，它会走得更快些），而你没有取得任何成就来证明它的存在，唯独留下遗憾，留下一面后视镜，上面写满了“本可以做”、“本应该做”、“本来会做”的事情。 1.

Unit1 1. 随着职务的提升，他担负的责任也更大了。(take on) Answer: With his promotion, he has taken on greater responsibilities. 2. 他感到没有必要再一次对约翰承担这样的责任了。(make a commitment) Answer: He felt he did not have to make such a commitment to John any more. 3. 闲暇时玛丽喜欢外出购物，与她相反，露茜却喜欢待在家里看书。(as opposed to) Answer: Mary likes to go shopping in her spare time, as opposed to Lucy, who prefers to stay at home reading. 4. 说得好听一些，可以说他有抱负，用最糟糕的话来说，他是一个没有良心(conscience) 且没有资格的权力追求者。(at best, at worst) Answer: At best he 's ambitious, and at worst a power-seeker without conscience or qualifications. 5. 我们已尽全力想说服他，但是却毫无进展。(strive, make no headway) Answer: We have striven to the full to convince him, but we have made no headway. Mounting evidence suggests that men and women think differently, and this seems to hold true in the unfortunate case of prejudice. New research by evolutionary psychologists at Michigan State University suggests that prejudice in men tends to be linked to aggression, while prejudice in women tends to be linked to fear. These researchers propose a “male warrior hypothesis”in order to explain how our history of group conflict may have shaped male and female psychologies in distinct ways. Essentially, men are more likely to start wars and to defend their own group, sometimes in very risky and self-sacrificial ways. Attacking other groups represents an opportunity to offset these costs by gaining access to mates, territory, resources and increased status. Women, meanwhile, live under the threat of sexual coercion by foreign aggressors, and are apt to display a “tend-and-befriend response”toward members of their own group, while maintaining a fear of strangers in order to protect themselves and their offspring. Answer: 越来越多的证据显示男人和女人的想法不同，这似乎适用于偏见这种令人遗憾的情况。密歇根州立大学进化心理学家新的研究显示，男人的偏见倾向于与侵略行为有关，而女人的偏见则倾向于与恐惧有关。这些研究者提出了一种“男人皆武士的假设”，以便解释群体冲突的历史是如何以独特的方式塑造男人和女人的心理世界的。 本质上，男人更有可能发动战争，以保卫他们的群体，有时他们会以一种非常冒险的和自我牺牲的方式来这样做。攻击其他群体意味着有机会补偿这些损失，并且可以有机会得到配偶、领土、资源和地位的提升。与此同时，女人生活在外来侵略者性胁迫的威胁下，对自己的同伙往往容易表现出“照顾和结友”的反应，而保持一种对陌生人的恐惧以保护她们自己和后代。 Unit2 1. 宪法规定公民享有言论自由。(provide for) Answer: The Constitution provides for citizen’s freedom of speech. 2. 我们在如何养育孩子的问题上有截然不同的看法，因此常发生争吵。(grow out of; bring up) Answer: Our constant quarrels grew out of the diverse ideas on how to bring up children. 3. 我们早在会阅读之前就已经掌握了一些词汇。(long before) Answer: We have learned some words long before we can read.

Unit1 课文翻译 本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。 1 今天，我很荣幸能来到这所世界顶尖大学参加你们的毕业典礼。我大学没有毕业。说实话，现在是我最接近大学毕业的时刻。我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了，但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右，然后才真正离开学校。那么我为什么要退学呢？ 2 这要从我还没有出生的时候说起。我的生母是个年轻未婚的研究生，因此她决定把我送给别人收养。她觉得我必须由有大学学历的人收养。于是，她安排好了一切，只要我一出生，就把我交给一位律师和他的妻子收养。但是我出生之后，他们在最后一刻决定他们还是想要一个女孩。当时我父母还在候补名单上，一天半夜他们接到一个电话，问他们：“有个新生儿，是意外怀上的，是个男孩，你们要吗？”他们回答：“当然要。”但是，我的生母随后发现我母亲大学没有毕业，我父亲甚至连高中也没毕业，因此拒绝在最后几份领养文件上签字。直到几个月后，我父母承诺将来一定让我上大学，她才同意了。这就是我生命的开始。 3 17年后，我确实上了大学。但是出于无知，我选了一所几乎与斯坦福一样昂贵的学校，因此，工薪阶层的父母把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上。6个月过去了，我看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道我的人生定位，也不知道大学将如何帮我找到答案，而我正在这里耗尽父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学，并相信一切都会顺利。这在当时看来非常可怕，但现在回头看看，那是我做过的最棒的决定之一。从退学的那一刻起，我就不用再上那些不感兴趣的必修课，而开始去学那些看上去更有意思的课程。但一切也不全是这么美妙。我没有自己的宿舍，只有在朋友的房间里打地铺；我拣可乐瓶子，把退来的5美分押金攒起来去买吃的；而到了每个周日晚上，我都会步行7英里，穿过城镇去克利须那觉悟会的庙宇饱餐一顿。我喜欢这样。我依照好奇心和直觉做事，大多事后证明是非常值得的。让我给你们举个例子：当时里德学院开设可能在全国是最好的书法课程。园里的每一张海报、每一个抽屉的每张标签上都有漂亮的书法。 4 因为我已经辍学，不用参加正规的课程，所以我决定去上这门课，学习书法。我了解了衬线和无衬线字体，学会了如何在不同的字母组合间改变间距，知道了如何让大字体显得很漂亮。这种科学所无法捕捉的、美妙的、充满历史感的微妙艺术，让我心醉神迷。 5 这一切在我的生活中是否实用，我不抱希望。直到10年后，当我们在设计第一台麦金托什电脑时，我想起了这些东西。于是，我们把所有这些都设计进了Mac机。这是第一类拥有漂亮字体排版的电脑。如果我没有在大学旁听那门课程，Mac就不会有多种字体以及间距分配合理的字型，很可能现在的微软PC也不会有这些字型——你们要知道，Windows也只是抄袭Mac，并非独创。如果我从未退学，我就绝不会旁听那门书法课，而个人电脑可能也不会有现在这样美妙的字体排版。在大学的时候，我当然不可能把这些点点滴滴都串起来展望未来。但在十年后再回首，一切都变得非常、非常清晰。 6 同样，你们现在也无法预见这类琐碎的经历之间能有什么联系，只有在回首往事时才能发现。你们要相信，这些片断会在未来以某种方式连接起来。你们必须相信一些东西——勇气、命运、人生、因缘等等。这个方法从未让我失望，也正是它改变了我的整个人生。 Questions on the text 1. What did Steve Jobs do after he dropped out of Reed College? He stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before he really quit. 2. What can we learn from Steve Jobs' narration about his biological mother? His biological mother was a young college graduate student when she gave birth to

How can you justify such rudeness? You will pay heavily for that because they have sued you for damaging their good name. 你怎么为这样粗鲁的行为辩护? 你将会为此付出沉重的代价，因为他们已经以诋毁名誉的罪名起诉你了。4. Criticism can be of great use; we may not like it at the time, but it can spur us on to greater things. 批评有其重要作用 我们可能当时不喜欢它，但是它能 激励我们去做更伟大的事情。 5.

注意这一部分，不是英译汉，就是汉译英考试 Unit 1： A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid’s tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway? I’ve tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence is a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting. 上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法，即认为他们的老师当年都是些神童。不管怎么说，除了不像一般孩子那样生性贪玩、不愿学习的书呆子之外，还有谁愿意长大后当老师呢？ 我竭力向我的学生们解释我在他们心目中的形象??一个在青春期热衷于书本和作业的人??有一点被扭曲了。相反，我极为憎恨义务教育。我永远都无法接受在鱼儿上钩时不得不去上学的想法。 Unit2 Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence. They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin). That's why we grant them special protection. In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands. And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one. 孩子们之所以有权享受特殊照顾有两个理由：无助和无辜。他们还不具备推理的能力或来自经验的智慧。所以，他们不能自卫（不能照料自己），无可指责（不可能真正犯罪）。这就是我们给予他们特殊保护的原因。在紧急情况下，我们有责任先救他们，因为他们软弱无助，已将生命交付于我们手中。在战时，他们应该受到特殊豁免权的保护，因为他们不可能会威胁或冒犯任何人。 Unit 3 I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. 我真诚地相信，对于孩子们来说，对于想要指导他们的父母们来说，感
