Unit2 HISTORY

1.The country was a place where men worked from dawn to dark，and the labourer lived not in the sun，but in poverty and darkness.What aids there were to lighten labour were immemorial，like the mill，which was already ancient in Chaucer‘s time.The industrial Revolution began with such machines； the millwrights were the engineers of the coming age.James Brindley of Staffordashire started his self-made career in 1733 by working at mill wheels，at the age of seventeen，having been born poor in a village.在农村，人们从早到晚都得干活，劳动者并不是沐浴在阳光下，而在生活在贫困和黑暗之中，那么帮助减轻劳动的机械都不知从哪个年代就有了。比如磨坊，在乔叟的时候就已经是古老的了。而工业革命就是从这些机械开始的。修造磨坊的匠人就是开创新时代的工程师。斯塔福郡的詹姆斯。布林斯雷，出身于一个贫苦的农村家庭；一七三三年，他十七岁，就着手改良磨坊的车轮，从而开始了他那自我奋斗的生涯。

The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist as well as an anti-feudal movement.Its outstanding historical significance is to be seen in a feature which was absent from the Revolution of 1911，namely，its thorough and uncompromising opposition to imperialism as well as to feudalism.13.五四运动所进行的文化革命则是彻底地反对封建文化的运动，自有中国历史以来，还没有过这样伟大而彻底的文化革命。

May 4th Movement was uncompromising in its opposition to feudal culture； there had never been such a great and thoroughgoing cultural revolution since the dawn of Chinese history.14.五四运动是在思想上和干部上准备了一九二一年中国共产党的成立，又准备了五？运动和北伐战争。

17.I had the illusion that I was driving through one immensely long，narrow farm.我感到自己宛若驾车穿越一个毫无尽头的狭长农场。

18.the road followed the course of the Nile，now passing through the fields，now drawing a black line separating them from the desert.公路是顺着尼罗河修筑的，所以时而从田间穿过，时而如一条黑色的分界线将田地与沙漠隔开。

19.as the flood receded，the water draining through the soil leached out the salts and carried them off to the Mediterranean.洪水退去时，下渗土壤的水会冲走土里的盐分，并最终把盐带入地中海。

1.it‘s raining again.As I lie awake in bed，listening to the sound of those razor-sharp drops pounding on the pavement，my mind goes reeling down dark corridors teeming with agonizing flashbacks，and a chill from within fills me with dread.It’s raining，again.又下雨了，我躺在床上，睡不着，听着雨点儿落在路面上啪啪作响。我思绪万千，恍恍惚惚进入了一条条幽暗的甬道，回想起许多痛苦的往事。心里一阵冰凉，不禁感到毛骨悚然。是的，又在下雨了。

2.it does this every year in Southern California； at least that‘s what they told me last year when I marveled at the relentless determination of the rain.加利福尼亚南部，年年如此；去年，雨无情地下个不停。我表示惊异，人们就是这样对我说的。

3.every child raised in the West knows about these dangers.At least that‘s what I used to think.I’m not so sure anymore.在西部长大的孩子都知道洪水的厉害。至少我过去是这样想的，现在就不敢说的。

4.Habits form，however，and，in a child‘s mind，most of the time becomes all of the time，and nobody gives it much thought.Then the rains come.然而孩子们习以为常，在他们心目中，“大部分时间”变成了“全部时间”，而谁也没有仔细去想这件事。后来就下起雨来了。

5.在理论方面，鲁迅曾针对当时赵景深的“宁顺而不信”的提法，提出了“宁信而不顺”的主张。1935年，鲁迅在“题未定‘草’”一文中又对翻译作了新的概括。他说：“凡是翻译，必须兼顾着两面，一当然力求其易解，一则保存着原作的丰姿。”也就是说，翻译既要通顺，又要忠实。

6.Each day we make choices that affect our lives and，sometimes，the lives of others.每一天我们都要做出许多选择，大部分是为自己，有的也为别人。

7.Somehow our path took us toward the park，across the footbridge high above the rolling water of the Los Angeles River.不知怎的，我们就踏上了通向公园的小路。

8.Many children were playing close to the water，and we were stunned by their ignorance and daring.The far bank.许多孩子在告近水边的地方玩耍。他们的无知与鲁莽把我俩看呆了。

9.It is easy to think to oneself that one‘s emotions used to be more vivid than they are，and one’s mind more keen.人们往往会对自己说，我过去感情多么丰富，思想多么敏锐，现在不行了。

10.the other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigour from its vitality.另一件需要避免的事就是老想和年轻人呆在一起，希望从青年的活力中吸取力量。

11.Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves，but human beings，owing to the length of infancy，find this difficult.动物，一旦它们的后代能够自己照料自己，它们就不管了；但是人，由于抚养子女的时间长，是难以这样做的。

12.在我国，从二十年代开始从事翻译工作，从五十年代乃至八十年代还在讨论翻译问题的，大概只有两个人，一个是郭沫若，一个就是茅盾。

13.I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities.我认为，如果老年人对个人以外的事情怀有强烈的兴趣，并参加适当的活动，我们的晚年是最容易过得好的，他们的晚年才会是一生收获的季节。

14.Yong men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer.But in old man who has known human joys and sorrows，and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do，to fear of death is somewhat object and ignoble.年青时有这种想法是可以理解的。年青人害怕阵亡疆场，而且一想到人生最美好的一切就这么被葬送了，恐惧的心情会更加严重。这种恐惧无可厚非。但作为老年人，人生的悲欢离合你已都经历过了，自己要做的事情也都做了，这时若还恐惧死亡，那就有些让人瞧不起了。

15.An individual human existence should be like a river—— small at first，narrowly contained within its banks，and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider，the banks recede，the waters flow more quietly，and in the end，without any visible break，they become merged in the sea，and painlessly lose their individual being.一个人的一生应像一条河——起初窄窄的，夹在两岸之中，急速地流动阒，冲过岩石，冲下瀑布，渐渐地，河面变宽了，两岸变得越来越远，河水静静地流动着，直到最后，再也没有什么阻碍了，因为这时，你已融入了大海，毫无痛苦地结束了自己单独存在的那一段历程。

16.如今，能为他的这本散文集作序，我觉得很荣幸。

I find it a great honour to be asked to write a preface to this collection of his essays.17.<心上的河流>写出了他对于小河流水的深情，这使我忆起死回我所热爱的无边的大海。

In “ A River at Heart”，he expressed his deep feelings towards the flowing water of a creek，which reminded me of my own love for the boundless，vast sea.18.这几年，我因行动不便，整天过着“井蛙”的无聊生活，读了这游记，绚丽生动得如经其境，给了我很大的快乐。

In recent years，unable to move about easily，I have been leading a dull life like that of “a frog at the bottom of a well”。

19.Clyde，left alone in this fashion，and not knowing just what it meant，stared，wondering.克莱德就这么给甩在这儿了，弄不明白什么意思，两眼直愣愣地想呀想呀。

国诗文选择集>中，有他译的袁斯诗11首，雪莱诗8诗，麦克迪儿米诗10首，有他译的培根的散文3篇，科贝特的散文6篇。1985年出版了他译的<彭斯诗选>.此外他还曾将曹禺的<雷雨>译成英语。

21.I remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers.我记得儿时给各种小草和隐蔽的小花取的名字。

22.It required only a rich winter of rain to make it break forth in grass and flowers.只要经历一个雨量充足的冬季，草呀，花呀，就会长出来。

23.when June came the grasses headed out and turned brown，and the hills turned a brown which was not brown but a gold anad saffron and red——an indescribable color.到6月，草就已经长高了，颜色也变成棕色了。山则显出一种特别的棕色，说棕也不是棕，有点金黄，有点桔黄，还有点红——也形容不出是个什么颜色。

24.It was a rasping nervous wind，and the dust particles cut into a man‘s skin and burned his eyes.大风让人们烦躁焦虑，尘土的微粒剐着人的脸，刺痛人的眼睛。

25.The land cracked and the springs dried up and the cattle listlessly nibbled dry twings.土地龟裂，泉水干枯，牛儿无精打采地啃着干树枝。

26.The tall，well-dressed gentleman standing before me was certainly a far cry from the old sea wolf of my imagination.站在我面前的是一位身材高大，衣着讲究的先生，与我先前想像的老海怪完全不同。

27.A delighted giggle cut through the severe silence.The ice was broken.We all laughed.一阵咯咯的欢笑声打破了严肃而沉寂的气氛。谁也不拘束了，大家都笑了起来。

28.在旧社会，我们评剧演员常常挣钱不够吃饭，艺人们大都是拉家带口，生活困难。

In the old society，Pinju players seldom made enough to live on.And as most were saddled with big families their life was hard.29.腊月二十三封箱，把“祖师爷”请到前台去，后台冷冷清清，演员们就更苦了，要等到年初一开戏了，才能挣到钱。

On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month，when theatres closed and the patron saint of actors was invited to the front stage，leaving the backstage deserted，actors were even worse off，unable to earn any more until the reopening on New Year‘s Day.30.真是一个钱撕成八瓣用，心里总是想着怎样能够改善家里的困境。

Each single copper had to be eked out，and I kept racking my brains for ways to improve our difficult conditions.31.每天天不亮戴着星星去排队，工厂没开大门就排上老长的队了。

We had to queue up before dawn when there were still stars in the sky.A long queue formed before the mill‘s gate opened.32.可我从头到脚淋成了落汤鸡了。

I was drenched from head to foot like a drowned rat.UNIT 4 POPULAR SCIENCE

3.the rocks in which oil is found are of marine origin too.石油存在处的岩石也都有海洋的渊源。

5.the drill may just miss the oil although it is near； on the other hand，it may strike oil at a fairly high level.有时石油虽就在附近，但因为没钻准地儿，结果还是一无所获。有时呢，就这么一钻，石油就喷出好高好高。

14.prearranged flight parents.事先安排好的飞行队形。

15.A powerful indictment of America‘s disregard of ecology，Silent Spring was aimed chiefly at the wholesale use of chemical pesticides，especially DDT.In 1965 a court action took place that ranks in environmental importance with the publication of Silent Spring.不久以后，在1962年雷切尔。卡林所著，名为<沉默的春天>一书问世了><沉默的春天>有力的控诉了美国之忽视生态，它主要是针对大规模使用农药——特别是嘀滴涕。1965年又发生了一件诉讼，其对环境之重要意义，不亚于<沉默的春天>之出版。

The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.For life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment.The rabbis of old put it this way: “A man comes to this world with his fist clenched, but when he dies, his hand is open.” Surely we ought to hold fast to our life.For it is wondrous, and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of God’s own earth.We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what it was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.We remember a beauty that faded, a love that waned.But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, that we failed to respond with love when it was tendered.Association 12.Synchronous Earth

则 Hold fast to life——but not so fast that you cannot let go.This is the second side of life’s coin, the opposite pole of its paradox: we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.This is not an easy lesson to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world is ours to command, that whatever we desire with the full force of our passionate being can, nay, will be ours.But then life moves along to confront us with realities, and slowly but surely this truth dawns upon us.At every stage of life we sustain losses——and grow in the process.We begin our independent lives only when we emerge from the womb and lose its protective shelter.We enter a progression of schools, then we leave our mothers and fathers and our childhood homes.We get married and have children and then have to let them go.We confront the death of our parents and spouses.We face the gradual or not so gradual waning of our own strength.And ultimately, as the parable of the open and closed hand suggests, we must confront the inevitability of our own demise, losing ourselves, as it were, all that we were or dreamed to be.（374 words）

汉语是中国各民族共同使用的语言、联合国正式语文和工作语言之一，又是世界上历史最悠久、发展水平最高的语言之一，有文字可考的历史不少于6 000年。无论过去或现在，汉语在国内外都有很大的影响，具有很重要的地位。当今世界出现汉语热，一是因为中华民族历史悠久，有着光辉灿烂的文化，对人类进步做出过巨大贡献；更是因为30年来中国中国实行改革开放，综合国力大大提升，与中国打交道、对中国文化感兴趣的国家、国际组织和人员日益增多。学习汉语也就成为深入了解中国的必由之路。

任何语言都与经济和文化分不开。经济和文化发展的国家，其语言所起的作用十分重要。在过去20年里，中国的国内生产总值年均增长9.7%，未来的中国经济还将持续增长。“汉语热”的兴起，表明世界对中国未来发展的预期越来越好。可以预言，随着中国经济的进一步发展和国际地位的日益提高，世界上学习汉语和中国文化的人数还会不断增加。
