1 In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter. 1812年,法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌—俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。 2 In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitler's military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers. 1941年,纳粹德国元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。希特勒希望速战速决,但是,就像在他之前的拿破仑一样,他得到的是痛苦的教训。仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。

综合英语4课文译文

别再为迟到找借口 哈里·贝地 每个办公室总有那么几个人习惯上班迟到。管理者该如何处理多元文化环境里的这一问题呢?文化背景不同,时间观念也大不相同,作为老板,应持何种态度,是忍气吞声还是采取惩罚措施呢? 专家告诉我们,西方人和东方人对时间的看法是不同的。从文化角度来说,西方人更多地生活在当前和不远的将来,而亚洲人却更多地生活在古老的过去和遥远的未来。 亚洲人尽力避免成为时间的神经质的奴隶。生活在他们看来只是永恒中的匆匆一瞬。他们喜欢旅游所带来的那种“失重”感,没有近期目标,也没有紧急任务。 对许多亚洲人来说,生活是一次漫长的旅行。幸福绝对不是一个时间问题。他们喜欢按部就班,不愿来去匆匆。静观季节的变化、儿女的成长也不认为是在虚度光阴。 西方人相信幸福就在不远的前方。多花点时间,多费点金钱,多下点工夫就能达到。尤其是美国人,他们就靠时间紧迫的日程安排和最后期限而生存。 但是学究们深思熟虑悟出的这一见解又是如何与上班守时这一问题联系起来的呢?是否我们应该从这种文化方面的差异得出结论,一些雇员上班拖拖拉拉就是合情合理的?还是说这意味着一个管理者应该忽略守时这一工作守则呢? 表面上看来,管理者会不得不对一些文化群体比对另一些文化群体在守时方面更宽容一些,但是这在城市文明中是站不住脚的,它将使人相信此种文化的时间观念比西方的时间观念逊色这一学术论调。 这便混淆了两种截然不同的事情:遵守时间和对时间的哲学观。 一个人认为时间是以百年来度量的,并非以秒来计算,这与他每天能够按时到办公室上班并无关系。没有哪一个亚洲雇员会为自己的迟到找一个文化背景方面的借口。他可能会寻找一些更现代化的借口,如交通堵塞、表慢了以及停车麻烦等。这些措辞与西方办公室人员所用的藉口并无区别。为什么在亚洲经常以这些借口迟到可以被接受,而在西方这样一个人却被认为是不可依靠、不可信赖的呢? 问题可能是,在我们亚洲人的社会生活中,对于那些让我们在市区约会的地点等候半小时的亲友们,我们往往比较宽容。我们不会认为他们不把我们的友谊和亲情当回事儿。我们也不会认为他们失礼。更糟糕的是,我们还容许他们用含糊其辞的借口来为自己开脱。 可是,如何对待社会生活中的那些迟到者却是个人问题。而在现代商业领域,我们不容许有这种灵活性。 如果一个人偶尔一次上班迟到,谁也不会在意。遵守时间不应成为一时的风尚。而在一个办公环境中,应该有这样一种纪律约束的氛围来使人们遵守时间。 即使那些实行弹性工作时间的公司,也会规定哪些时间雇员必须在办公室,否则就无法召集各个部门一起开会。 一些公司可能会主动改变他们的上下班时间,以使雇员能够避开交通高峰期。但那并不是说就不再需要守时。 一般来说,迟到这一问题只和少数雇员有关。管理者应该试图通过劝告——必要的话可反复教育——来改变他们的坏习惯。这并非易事,而且有时还颇需要些耐心。 但是,我们也应摆脱那种认为期望别人守时就是不能容忍某种文化的迂腐观点。这种陈词滥调应当立即摒 弃。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课后翻译答案 Unit 1 1) The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, 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. Unit 2 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. Unit 3 Well begun, half done,as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his
