第一单元

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。

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。Unit1 1.Mr.Doherty and his family are currently engaged in getting the autumn harvest in on the farm.多尔蒂先生和他的家人目前正在农场忙于秋收。

Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic.While the computer revolution is unlikely to curethese problems, it will have a positive impact.Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn ofraffic jams.We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System.They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles.Each satellite contains four “atomic clocks,” which vibrateat a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.开车最头疼的两大麻烦是迷路和交通堵塞。虽然计算机革命不可能彻底解决这两个问题，但却会带来积极的影响。你汽车上与绕轨道运行的卫星发出的无线电信号调谐的传感器能随时精确地确定你汽车的方位，并告知交通阻塞情况。我们已经有24颗环绕地球运行的导航卫星，组成了人们所说的全球卫星定位系统。通过这些卫星我们有可能以小于100英尺的误差确定你在地球上的方位。在任何一个特定时间，总有若干颗全球定位系统的卫星在11000英里的高空绕地球运行。每颗卫星都装有4个“原子钟”，它们根据量子理论法则，以精确的频率振动

As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detectedby a receiver in a car's computer.The car's computer can then calculatehow far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive.Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellite's signal can be converted into a distance.卫星从高空经过时发出能被汽车上计算机里的接收器辨认的无线电信号。汽车上的计算机就会根据信号传来所花的时间计算出卫星有多远。由于光速为人熟知，接收卫星信号时的任何时间迟缓都能折算出距离的远近。

Unit3

When a recent college graduate came into my office not too long ago looking for a sales job, I asked him what he had done to prepare for the interview.He said he'd read something about us somewhere.不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办公室谋求一份销售工作。我问他为这次面试做过哪些准备。他说他在什么地方看到过有关本公司的一些情况。

Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No.Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.他有没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过电话，好了解更多有关我们的情况？没打过。他有没有给我们的供应厂商打过电话？还有我们的客户？都没有。

Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippingson us? 他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在本公司就职，以便向他们了解一些情况?他可曾请朋友向他提问，对他进行模拟面试？可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪报？

Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he'd be right forthe job? Was he planning to follow upthe interview with another letter indicatinghis eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?

他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己，告诉我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备，自己何以能胜任此项工作？面试之后他是否打算再写一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的诚意？这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上，也许甚至是亲自送来？

The answer to every question was the same: no.That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospectivecustomer for us? I already knew the answer.他对上述每一个问题的回答全都一样：没有。这样我就只剩一个问题要问了：如果此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人，他准备工作会做得怎样？答案不言自明。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.尽管在此次紧急迫降中，飞机跑道不够长，但经验老道的飞行员还是让飞机滑行了很短一段时间后就停了下来。

4)4)If I had known beforehand that you would bring so many friends home, I would have made better preparations.You see, I have barely enough food and drinks for a snack.要是我事先知道你带这么多朋友回家，我会好好准备的，你看，我现在的食品和饮料连小吃一顿都不打够。

5)People gave generously upon learning that new school rooms with stronger structures were to be built in the earthquake-stricken area.当人们得知地震灾区将要建结构更牢固的校舍时，纷纷慷慨解囊

Unit4 3.Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth.And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971.This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful ofHollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology.Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself.Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable.They see the world increasingly as one vast,interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.虽然布劳德和曼德尔对各自的国籍界定不同，他们都将国籍视为个人选择，而不是由出生地决定的。而且，他俩都是达沃斯人，这可不是巧合。达沃斯人指的是那些每年长途跋涉去瑞士阿尔卑斯山区小城达沃斯参加年度世界经济论坛——该论坛始于1971年——的国际商业精英们。本周，布劳德和曼德尔将同其他2200余名企业高管、政界人士、学者、记者、作家和少数几位好莱坞明星一起，参加为时五天的交际活动、宴会和没完没了的认真的讨论。讨论话题林林总总，从大选后的伊拉克和非洲的艾滋病病毒到全球的石油供应和纳米技术的重大意义。然而今年，或许比以往更甚的是，达沃斯论坛的一个热门话题就是达沃斯本身。尽管与会男女各不相同，但他们大多数有一个共同信念：全球化，亦即资本、劳动力和技术不受阻碍地跨国界流动，是值得欢迎和不可阻挡的。在他们看来，世界越来越像一个巨大的互相联系的市场。在这个市场里，企业寻求采购、生产及销售产品和服务的最佳地点。

三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。UNIT 4 1.1)Due to his pessimistic outlook on the European economy, John has moved his assets from Europe to elsewhere.因为约翰不看好欧洲经济，所以把资产转移到欧洲以外的其他地方

2)Ilike hiring young people.They are earnest learners and committed to work.我喜欢雇佣年轻人，他们自愿学习，而且忠于职守

5)The Chinese government has introduced a variety of policies to strengthen cooperation with developing countries 中国政府出台了一系列政策以加强同发展中国家的合作

第五单元

For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen.I do not know very much about them.I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right.I think they must have small insight or great vanity.For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe.He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years.I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise.Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action.It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type.Here if ever was a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes.I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him.He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华?海德?伯顿在神户去世的消息。他是个商人，在日本经商多年。我跟他并不熟，但是对他挺有兴趣，因为有一次他让我大吃一惊。要不是听他亲口讲述这个故事，我根本不会相信他能做出这种事来。这件事之所以特别令人惊讶，是因为无论是外表还是风度，他都让人想到一种非常明确的类型。要说真有表里如一的人的话，那就是此公了。他个子很小，身高不过5英尺4英寸，身材纤细，白头发、蓝眼睛，红红的脸上布满皱纹。我估计自己认识他时，他大约有60岁光景。他向来衣着整洁素雅，合乎他的年龄和身份。

Though his offices were in Kobe, Burton often came down to Yokohama.I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there, waiting for a ship, and I was introduced to him at the British Club.We played bridge together.He played a good game and a generous one.He did not talk very much, either then or later when we were having drinks, but what he said was sensible.He had a quiet, dry humor.He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards, when he had gone, they described him as one of the best.It happened that we were both staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him.I met his wife, fat, elderly, and smiling, and his two daughters.It was evidently a united and affectionate family.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness.There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes.His voice was gentle;you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger;his smile was benign.Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows.At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete.He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself.I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail;he aroused your instincts of protection.You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.伯顿的办事处设在神户，但他常常到横滨来。有一次，我正好因为等船，要在那里呆几天，在英国俱乐部经人介绍与他相识。我们在一起玩桥牌。他打得不错，牌风也好。无论在玩牌的时候，还是在后来一起喝酒的时候，他的话都不多，但说的话却都合情合理。他挺幽默，但并不咋呼。他在俱乐部里似乎人缘不错，后来，在他走了以后，人家都说他是个顶呱呱的人。事有凑巧，我们俩都住在格兰德大酒店。第二天他请我吃饭。我见到了他的太太――一位肥肥胖胖、满面笑容的半老妇人――和他的两个女儿。这显然是和睦恩爱的一家人。我想，伯顿当时给我印象最深的主要还是他这个人和善。他那双温和的蓝眼睛有种令人愉快的神情。他说话的声音轻柔；你无法想象他会提高嗓门大发雷霆；他的笑容和蔼可亲。这个人吸引你，是因为你从他身上感到他对别人的真正的爱。同时他也喜欢玩牌，喝鸡尾酒，他能绘声绘色地讲个来劲儿的段子什么的，他年轻时多少还是个运动员呢。他是个阔佬，但他的每一个便士都是自己挣来的。我想，人们喜欢他还有一个原因，那就是他非常瘦小、脆弱，容易引起人们的恻隐之心。你觉得他甚至连只蚂蚁都不忍伤害。Unit5 1)I have an instinct that Henry will seek to join the expedition, because he is something of an adventurer.我的直觉是亨利会设法参加这次探险，因为他有一点冒险家的气质

2)He is capable of sticking to the task at hand, even if he is exposed to noises.即使置身于一个嘈杂的环境中，他依然坚持做手头的工作

3)The trademark was registered in accordance with the laws hitherto in force.这个商标是依据迄今有效的法律注册的

4)Oddly enough, many people volunteered to help organize the meeting, but only a few turned up。

奇怪的是许多人自愿帮助组织会议，但是只有少数几个人到场

5)The teacher's affectionate words, along with his candid comments, changed the way Mike perceived the society and himself.老师那充满关爱的话语，以及坦诚的评价改变了迈克对社会和他自己的看法。

第二篇：全新版大学英语3课文背诵段落部分及翻译

Unit 1

I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do.It takes a couple of special qualities.One is a tolerance for solitude.Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much.During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway.Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.我想，不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。这种生活需要一些特殊的素质。其一是耐得住寂寞。由于我们如此忙碌，手头又紧，我们很少请客。在作物生长季节，根本就没工夫参加社交活动。吉米和埃米莉虽然参加学校的各种活动，但他俩大多数时间也呆在家里。

The other requirement is energy--a lot of it.The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices.Instead, you do the work yourself.The only machinery we own(not counting the lawn mower)is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.另一项要求是体力――相当大的体力。小范围里实现自给自足的途径是抵制诱惑，不去购置拖拉机和其他昂贵的节省劳力的机械。相反，你要自己动手。我们仅有的机器（不包括割草机）是一台3马力的小型旋转式耕耘机以及一架16英寸的链锯。

How much longer we'll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody's guess--perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not.When the time comes, we'll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we've been able to accomplish.We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too.We've invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today.But this is not a good time to sell.Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again.没人知道我们还能有精力在这里再呆多久--也许呆很长一阵子，也许不是。到走的时候，我们会怆然离去，但也会为自己所做的一切深感自豪。我们把农场出售也会赚相当大一笔钱。我们自己在农场投入了约35，000美金的资金，要是现在售出的话价格差不多可以翻一倍。不过现在不是出售的好时机。但是一旦经济形势好转，对我们这种农场的需求又会增多。

We didn't move here primarily to earn money though.We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives.When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know we've found just what we were looking for.但我们主要不是为了赚钱而移居至此的。我们来此居住是因为想提高生活质量。当我看着埃米莉傍晚去收鸡蛋，跟吉米一起在河上钓鱼，或和全家人一起在果园里享用老式的野餐，我知道，我们找到了自己一直在寻求的生活方式。

Unit 2

In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U.S.The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati.And it's about time.For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung.I was intent on telling their stories.2000年10月，克林顿总统批准拨款1600万美元建造全国“地下铁路”自由中心，以此纪念美国历史上第一次伟大的民权斗争。中心计划于2004年在辛辛那提州建成。真是该建立这样一个中心的时候了。因为地下铁路的英雄们依然默默无闻，他们的业绩依然少人颂扬。我要讲述他们的故事。

Unit 3

It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm.Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.取而代之的是防盗锁、防护链、电子报警系统，以及连接警署或私人保安公司的报警装置。郊区的许多人家在露台上安装了玻璃滑门，内侧有装得很讲究的钢条，这样就没人能把门撬开。

It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.在最温馨的居家，也常常看得到窗上贴着小小的告示，称本宅由某家安全机构或某个保安公司负责监管。

The lock is the new symbol of America.Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.锁成了美国的新的象征。的确，一家大保险公司最近的一则公益广告没有用图表表明我们所处的危险有多大，而是用了一幅童车的图片，车身上悬着如今无所不在的挂锁。

The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?

广告指出，没错，确是保险公司理赔失窃物品，但谁来赔偿互不信任、担心害怕这种新氛围对我们的生活方式所造成的影响呢？谁来对美国从自由之国到锁之国这一蜕变作出精神赔偿呢？

For that is what has happened.We have become so used to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life, so used to putting up barriers, that we have not had time to think about what it may mean.因为那就是现状。我们已经变得如此习惯于保护自己不受美国生活新氛围的影响，如此习惯于设置障碍，因而无暇考虑这一切意味着什么。

Unit 4

It was actually Bart Cameron's error and you'll have to understand about Bart Cameron.He's the sheriff at Twin Gulch, Idaho, and I'm his deputy.Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax.You see, besides being sheriff, he also owns and runs the general store, he's got some shares in a sheep ranch, he's got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran(bad knee)and a few other things like that.Naturally, it makes his tax figures complicated.这实际上是巴特·卡默伦的错，所以你得对巴特·卡默伦这人有所了解。他是爱达荷州特温加尔奇的治安官，我是他的副手。巴特·卡默伦是个脾气暴躁的人，到了他不得不整理个人应缴多少所得税时更是容易光火。你想，他除了当治安官，还经营着一家杂货铺，并拥有一家牧羊场的股份，同时还享有残疾退伍军人（膝盖受过伤）津贴，以及其他某些类似的津贴。这样一来他的个人所得税计算起来自然就变得复杂。

It wouldn't be so bad if he'd let a taxman work on the forms with him, but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man.By April 14, he isn't approachable.要是他让税务人员帮他填表就不至于那么糟糕，可他非得要自己填，于是填得他牢骚满腹。每年到了4月14日，他就变得难以接近。

So it's too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14, 1956.那个飞碟在1956年4月14日这一天登陆真是大错特错。

I saw it land.My chair was backed up against the wall in the sheriff's office, and I was looking at the stars through the windows and wondering if I ought to knock off and hit the sack or keep on listening to Cameron curse real steady as he went over his columns of figures for the hundred twenty-seventh time.我是看着它降落的。当时我的椅子背靠着治安官办公室的墙，我正望着窗外的星星，琢磨着是不是该下班去睡觉，还是继续听卡默伦骂个不停，他正在第127次核对他在税单上填写的一栏栏数字。

It looked like a shooting star at first, but then the track of light broadened into two things that looked like rocket exhausts and the thing came down without a sound.一开始像是颗流星，可接着那轨迹越来越亮，变成两个光点，就像是火箭喷出的气流，那个东西一点没出声就着落了。

Two men got out.两个人走了出来。

I couldn't say anything or do anything.I couldn't choke or point;I couldn't even bug my eyes.I just sat there.我没法说话，也无法做事。喉部肌肉僵直，也没法用手示意，甚至眼睛都没法瞪大。我就那么呆坐着。

Cameron? He never looked up.卡默伦？他压根儿就没抬起过头。

Unit 5

Always the college professor, my dad had carefully avoided anything he considered too sentimental, so I knew how moved he was to write me that, after having helped educate many young people, he now felt that his best results included his own son.身为大学教授的爸爸向来特别留意不使用任何过于感情化的文字，因此，当他对我写道，在教了许许多多的年轻人之后，他认为自己最优秀的学生当中也包括自己的儿子时，我知道他是多么地感动。

The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a “simple, old-fashioned principal” had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt.“I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right,” he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.纳尔逊牧师写道，他那平凡的传统校长的岁月随着学校里发生的如此迅猛的变化而结束，他怀着自我怀疑的心态退了休。“说我做得不对的远远多于说我做得对的，” 他写道，接着说我的信给他带来了振奋人心的信心：自己的校长生涯还是有其价值的。

一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹，我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。外祖母一个字母一个字母地慢慢拼出一个词，接着是下一个词，因此写满一页要花上几个小时。捧着外祖母最近花费不少工夫对我表达了充满慈爱的谢意，我禁不住流泪――从前是她给我换尿布的呀。

Unit 6

Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them.He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest.Despite looking the part, Behrman was a failure in art.For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it.He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional.He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece.For the rest he was a fierce little old man, who mocked terribly at softness in any one, and who regarded himself as guard dog to the two young artists in the studio above.老贝尔曼是住在两人楼下底层的一个画家。他已年过六旬，银白色蜷曲的长髯披挂胸前。贝尔曼看上去挺像艺术家，但在艺术上却没有什么成就。40年来他一直想创作一幅传世之作，却始终没能动手。他给那些请不起职业模特的青年画家当模特挣点小钱。他没节制地喝酒，谈论着他那即将问世的不朽之作。要说其他方面，他是个好斗的小老头，要是谁表现出一点软弱，他便大肆嘲笑，并把自己看成是楼上画室里两位年轻艺术家的看护人。

Sue found Behrman smelling strongly of gin in his dimly lighted studio below.In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece.She told him of Johnsy's fancy, and how she feared she would, indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, float away, when her slight hold upon the world grew weaker.Old Behrman, with his red eyes plainly streaming, shouted his contempt for such foolish imaginings.苏在楼下光线暗淡的画室里找到了贝尔曼，他满身酒味刺鼻。屋子一角的画架上支着一张从未落过笔的画布，在那儿搁了25年，等着一幅杰作的起笔。苏把约翰西的怪念头跟他说了，并说约翰西本身就像一片叶子又瘦又弱，她害怕要是她那本已脆弱的生存意志再软下去的话，真的会凋零飘落。老贝尔曼双眼通红，显然是泪涟涟的，他大声叫嚷着说他蔑视这种傻念头。

“What!” he cried.“Are there people in the world foolish enough to die because leafs drop off from a vine? I have never heard of such a thing.Why do you allow such silly ideas to come into that head of hers? God!This is not a place in which one so good as Miss Johnsy should lie sick.Some day I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.Yes.”

“什么！”他嚷道。“世界上竟然有这么愚蠢的人，因为树叶从藤上掉落就要去死？我听都没听说过这等事。你怎么让这种傻念头钻到她那个怪脑袋里？天哪！这不是一个像约翰西小姐这样的好姑娘躺倒生病的地方。有朝一日我要画一幅巨作，那时候我们就离开这里。真的。”

第三篇：课文背诵及翻译

He had impressive powers of concentration.Einstein's sister, Maja, recalled “...even when there was a lot of noise, he could lie down on the sofa, pick up a pen and paper, precariously balance an inkwell on the backrest and engross himself in a problem so much that the background noise stimulated rather than disturbed him.” 他有令人印象深刻的专注力。爱因斯坦的妹妹，玛雅，回忆说，“„„即使有很大的噪音，他会躺在沙发上，拿起纸和笔，悠悠地平衡一个放在靠背墨水瓶使他自己全神贯注的沉浸在问题中就如同背景噪声促进而不是打扰他。”

Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishly more so than his peers.“I have no special talents,” he claimed, “I am only passionately curious.” And again: “The contrast between the popular assessment of my powers...and the reality is simply grotesque.” Einstein credited his discoveries to imagination and pesky questioning more so than orthodox intelligence.爱因斯坦很聪明,但没有比他的同行更特殊的地方。“我没有特殊的才能.”他说:“我只是有强烈的好奇心。”又说:“关于我力量的流行评估„和现实的对比真是荒唐。”爱因斯坦将他的发现归功于想象力和无止境的提问而不是传统的智慧。

A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her “settin' down” some letter to relatives.Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours.I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me--whom she used to diaper!一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹，我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。外祖母一个字母一个字母地慢慢拼出一个词，接着是下一个词，因此写满一页要花上几个小时。捧着外祖母最近花费不少工夫对我表达了充满慈爱的谢意，我禁不住流泪――从前是她给我换尿布的呀。

Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me.Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South.Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U.S.The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati.And it's about time.For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung.I was intent on telling their stories.2000年10月，克林顿总统批准拨款1600万美元建造全国“地下铁路”自由中心，以此纪念美国历史上第一次伟大的民权斗争。中心计划于2004年在辛辛那提州建成。真是该建立这样一个中心的时候了。因为地下铁路的英雄们依然默默无闻，他们的业绩依然少人颂扬。我要讲述他们的故事。

Unit three 4

The lock is the new symbol of America.Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?

So it's too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14, 1956.那个飞碟在1956年4月14日这一天登陆真是大错特错。

Two men got out.两个人走了出来。

Porter came to Portland when he was 13 after his father, a salesman, was transferred here.He attended a school for the disabled and then Lincoln High School, where he was placed in a class for slow kids.But he wasn't slow.波特13岁那年随着当推销员的父亲工作调动来到波特兰。他上了一个残疾人学校，后来就读林肯高级中学，在那儿他被编入慢班。

但他并不笨。

His mind was trapped in a body that didn't work.Speaking was difficult and took time.People were impatient and didn't listen.He felt different--was different--from the kids who rushed about in the halls and planned dances he would never attend.他由于身体不能正常运行而使脑子不能充分发挥其功能。他说话困难，而且慢。别人不耐烦，不听他说。他觉得自己不同于――事实上也确实不同于――那些在过道里东奔西跑的孩子，那些孩子安排的舞会他永远也不可能参加。

What could his future be? Porter wanted to do something and his mother was certain that he could rise above his limitations.With her encouragement, he applied for a job with the Fuller Brush Co.only to be turned down.He couldn't carry a product briefcase or walk a route, they said.他将来会是个什么样子呢？波特想做些事，母亲也相信他能冲破身体的局限。在她的鼓励之下，他向福勒牙刷公司申请一份工作，结果却遭到拒绝。他不能提样品包，也不能跑一条推销线路，他们说。

Porter knew he wanted to be a salesman.He began reading help wanted ads in the newspaper.When he saw one for Watkins, a company that sold household products door-to-door, his mother set up a meeting with a representative.The man said no, but Porter wouldn't listen.He just wanted a chance.The man gave in and offered Porter a section of the city that no salesman wanted.波特知道自己想当推销员。他开始阅读报纸上的招聘广告。他看到沃特金斯，一家上门推销家用物品的公司要人，他母亲就跟其代理人安排会面。那人说不行，可波特不予理会。他就是需要一个机会。那人让步了，把城里一个其他推销员都不要的区域派给了他。

It took Porter four false starts before he found the courage to ring the first doorbell.The man who answered told him to go away, a pattern repeated throughout the day.波特一开始四次都没敢敲门，第五次才鼓起勇气按了第一户人家的门铃。开门的那人让他走开，这种情形持续了一整天。

That night Porter read through company literature and discovered the products were guaranteed.He would sell that pledge.He just needed people to listen.If a customer turned him down, Porter kept coming back until they heard him.And he sold.当晚，波特仔细阅读了公司的宣传资料，发现产品都是保用的。他要把保用作为卖点。只要别人肯听他说话就成。

要是客户回绝波特，拒绝倾听他的介绍，他就一再上门。就这样他将产品卖了出去。

For several years he was Watkins' top retail salesman.Now he is the only one of the company's 44,000 salespeople who sells door-to-door.The bus stops in the Transit Mall, and Porter gets off.他连着几年都是沃特金斯公司的最佳零售推销员。如今他是该公司44000名推销员中惟一一个上门推销的人。

公共汽车在公交中转购物中心站停下，波特下了车。

Unit 8 9

Cloning brings us face-to-face with what it means to be human and makes us confront both the privileges and limitations of life itself.It also forces us to question the powers of science.Is there, in fact, knowledge that we do not want? Are there paths we would rather not pursue?

克隆技术使我们直接面对做人的意义这个问题，使我们直接面对生命本身的特权与限制。克隆技术也迫使我们对科学的力量提出质疑。是不是有些知识我们真的不要去获取？有一些路我们宁愿不去探寻？

The time is long past when we can speak of the purity of science, divorced from its consequences.If any needed reminding that the innocence of scientists was lost long ago, they need only recall the comments of J.Robert Oppenheimer, the genius who was a father of the atomic bomb and who was transformed in the process from a supremely confident man, ready to follow his scientific curiosity, to a humbled and troubled soul, wondering what science had let loose.我们奢谈科学的纯洁性，将科学与其后果分离的时代早已过去。如果有谁还需要提醒，科学家的纯真早已丧失，他们只要回想一下J·罗伯特·奥本海默的话。奥本海默是一位天才，他是原子弹的缔造者之一。他在追求科学的过程中，从一个极其自信、随时准备跟着科学好奇心走的人，逐渐变成了一个谦恭困惑的人，他不知道科学放出了什么妖魔。

Before the bomb was made, Oppenheimer said, “When you see something that is technically sweet you go ahead and do it.” After the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in a chilling speech delivered in 1947, he said: “The physicists have known sin;and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.”

在原子弹造出之前，奥本海默说：“当你看到某个技术完美的东西时，你就毫不犹豫地去实现它。”原子弹投在广岛、长崎之后，他在1947年发表的一则令人毛骨悚然的演说中指出：“物理学家们已经尝到过罪孽的滋味，这种滋味他们无法忘记。”

Going for Broke

Matea Gold and David Ferrell 1 Rex Coile's life is a narrow box, so dark and confining he wonders how he got trapped inside, whether he'll ever get out.孤注一掷

马泰娅·戈尔德戴维·费雷尔

雷克斯·科勒好像生活在一个狭窄的箱子里，伸手不见五指，空间又狭小，他不知道自己是怎么陷进去的，也不知道自己还能不能走出来。He never goes to the movies, never sees concerts, never lies on a sunny beach, never travels on vacation, never spends Christmas with his family.Instead, Rex shares floor space in cheap motels with other compulsive gamblers, comforting himself with delusional dreams of jackpots that will magically wipe away three decades of wreckage.He has lost his marriage, his home, his Cadillac, his clothes, his diamond ring.Not least of all, in the card clubs of Southern California, he has lost his pride.他从不看电影，从不听音乐会，从不躺在沙滩上晒太阳，从不在假日去旅游，从不和家人一起过圣诞节。相反，雷克斯在廉价汽车旅馆和别的嗜赌成癖的赌徒一起住，幻想着赢大钱，好魔术般地把30年的晦气厄运一扫而光。他失去了婚姻，失去了家，失去了卡迪拉克牌轿车，失去了衣物和钻戒。尤其是，在南加州的纸牌俱乐部，他还失去了自尊心。Rex no longer feels sorry for himself, not after a 29-year losing streak that has left him scrounging for table scraps to feed his habit.Still, he agonizes over what he has become at 54 and what he might have been.雷克斯不再为自己哀叹，他都输了29年了，输到了在赌桌上偷零钱以满足自己嗜好的地步。尽管如此，他还是对自己54岁时的境况深感痛苦，对自己未能成就可能会成就的事业而深感痛苦。Articulate, intellectual, he talks about existential philosophy, the writings of Camus and Sartre.He was once aneditor at Random House.His mind is so jam packed with tidbits about movies, television, baseball and history that card room regulars call him “ Rex Trivia,” a name he cherishes for the remnant of self-respect it gives him.“There's a lot of Rexes around these card rooms,” he says in a whisper of resignation and sadness.他能说会道，善于思考，喜谈存在主义哲学，谈加缪和萨特的作品。他曾是兰登出版社的编辑。他脑子里装满有关电影、电视、棒球和历史的趣闻，因此那些纸牌室的常客都叫他“趣闻大王雷克斯”，他珍惜这个带给自己些许自尊的名字。“这些纸牌室里有不少雷克斯，”他无奈而又悲伤地低声说道。And their numbers are soaring as gambling explodes across America, from the mega-resorts of Las Vegas to the gaming parlors of Indian reservations, from the riverboats along the Mississippi to the corner mini-marts selling lottery tickets.With nearly every state in the union now sanctioning some form of legalized gambling to raise revenues, evidence is mounting that society is paying a steep price, one that some researchers say must be confronted, if not reversed.美国各地赌博盛行，从拉斯维加斯的特大型度假胜地，到印第安人居留地的小赌场，从密西西比河上的内河船，到街角处出售彩票的便利店，赌博随处可见，因此赌徒人数正在剧增。由于全国几乎每个州都批准某种合法化的赌博形式以增加税收，越来越多的事实表明，整个社会正在付出巨大的代价，不少研究者指出，对此现象如果不能彻底改变，那就必须严肃面对。Never before have bettors blown so much money — a whopping $50.9 billion last year — five

times the amount lost in 1980.That's more than the public spent on movies, theme parks, recorded music and sporting events combined.A substantial share of those gambling losses — an estimated 30% to 40% — pours from the pockets and purses of chronic losers hooked on the adrenaline rush of risking their money, intoxicated by the fast action of gambling's incandescent world.赌徒以前从来不曾花费如此多的赌金—— 去年的赌输金额高达509亿美元，是1980年赌输金额的5倍，高出公众在电影、主题公园、唱片音乐以及运动项目等方面的消费总额。输掉的赌金中有相当一部分—— 约占30%－40%—— 是从那些常输的赌徒的钱包里掏出来的，赌博带来的兴奋令他们入迷，瞬息万变的赌博世界令他们如痴如醉。Studies place the total number of compulsive gamblers at about 4.4 million, about equal to the nation's ranks of hard-core drug addicts.Another 11 million, known as problem gamblers, teeter on the verge.Since 1990, the number of Gamblers Anonymous groups nationwide has doubled from about 600 to more than 1,200.据研究，嗜赌成瘾者的总数约有440万，与美国毒瘾大的瘾君子的人数大致相同。另有1100万所谓有问题的赌徒，已濒临深渊摇摇欲坠。自1990年以来，全国戒赌组织的总数翻了一番，从600个上升到1200多个。Compulsive gambling has been linked to child abuse, domestic violence, embezzlement, bogus insurance claims, bankruptcies, welfare fraud and a host of other social and criminal ills.The advent of Internet gambling could lure new legions into wagering beyond their means.嗜赌成瘾总是与虐待儿童、家庭暴力、盗用钱款、伪造保险索赔、破产、福利救济欺骗，以及其他许多社会问题与犯罪行为联系在一起。网上赌博的出现会诱使更多的人无节制地狂赌。Every once in a while, a case is so egregious it makes headlines: A 10-day-old baby girl in South Carolina dies after being left for nearly seven hours in a hot car while her mother plays video poker.A suburban Chicago woman is so desperate for a bankroll to gamble that she allegedly suffocates her 7-week-old daughter 11 days after obtaining a $200,000 life-insurance policy on the baby.每过一段时间，总有一则令人震惊的案子成为头条社会新闻：南卡罗来纳州一名出生10天的女婴被放在闷热的汽车里几乎达7个小时后死去，其间女婴的母亲在电脑上打扑克。芝加哥郊区一名妇女急于觅得赌资，据说，她在为她出生仅7周的女婴购买了20万美元的人寿保险后11天将其窒息致死。Science has begun to uncover clues to compulsive gambling — genetic predispositions that involve chemical receptors in the brain, the same pleasure pathways implicated in drug and alcohol addiction.But no amount of knowledge, no amount of enlightenment, makes the illness any less confounding, any less destructive.What the gamblers cannot understand about themselves is also well beyond the comprehension of family members, who struggle for normality in a world of deceit and madness.科学研究开始揭示形成嗜赌成癖恶习的线索—— 与大脑中的化学感受器有关的，即与嗜毒、嗜酒同一个快感途径有关的遗传特性。但无论对这一顽症有多少了解有多少认识，人们对它的困惑一点也没有减少，它的破坏性也一点也没有减少。赌徒不明白自己的地方也正是家人所难以理解的地方，他们在一个充满欺骗与疯狂的世界中苦苦追求正常生活。Money starts vanishing: $500 here, $200 there, $800 a couple of weeks later.Where is it? The answers come back vague, nonsensical.It's in the desk at work.A friend borrowed it.It got spent on family dinners, car repairs, loans to in-laws.Exasperated spouses play the sleuth，combing through pockets, wallets, purses, searching the car.Sometimes the incriminating evidence turns up — a racing form, lottery scratchers, a map to an Indian casino.Once the secret is uncovered, spouses usually fight the problem alone, bleeding inside, because the stories are too humiliating to share.钱突然就不知去向：这里用了500美元，那儿花了200美元，两三个星期之后又少了800美元。钱哪去了？回答很含糊，不知所云。在单位的办公桌抽屉里。朋友借去了。家人聚餐花了，修车用了，借给姻亲了。怒不可遏的配偶充当起侦探，把衣袋、皮夹子、钱包翻了个遍，还搜了汽车。有时犯罪证据会暴露—— 赛马小报、刮刮乐、去一家印第安赌场的地图。秘密一旦被揭穿，配偶通常都单独面对问题，独自承受心头巨痛，因为这种事太丢人，没法跟别人说。“Anybody who is living with a compulsive gambler is totally overwhelmed,” says Tom Tucker, president of the California Council on Problem Gambling.“They're steeped in anger, resentment, depression, confusion.None of their personal efforts will ever stop a person from their addiction.And they don't really see any hope because compulsive gambling in general is such an under-recognized illness.”

“与嗜赌成瘾者一起生活的人都会陷入绝望，”加利福尼亚问题赌博委员会主任汤姆·塔克说。“他们沉浸在愤怒、怨恨、沮丧、困惑之中。他们怎么苦心规劝也无法使浪子回头。他们真的看不到丝毫希望，因为人们通常并不真正懂得嗜赌成瘾的严重性。” One Los Angeles woman, whose husband's gambling was tearing at her sanity, says she slept with her fists so tightly clenched that her nails sliced into her palms.She had fantasies of death — first her own, thinking he'd feel sorry for her and stop gambling.Later, she harbored thoughts of turning her rage on her husband.She imagined getting a gun, hiding in the closet and blasting him out of her life.一个洛杉矶妇女，由于丈夫嗜赌成瘾，自己几乎神经崩溃。她说自己晚上睡觉时双手紧紧握成拳头，指甲把手掌都掐破了。她常常想到死—— 起初是想自己去死，觉得他会为自己伤心，会戒赌。后来，她又想到把怒气转到丈夫身上。她设想自己弄到一支枪，藏在壁橱里，一枪把他从自己的生活中扫出去。“The hurt was so bad I think I would have pulled the trigger,” she says.“There were times the pain was so much I thought being in jail, or being in the electric chair, would be less than this.”

“那种伤害太痛苦了，我想自己真的会扣动扳机，”她说。“有时真的痛苦不堪，觉得哪怕坐牢、上电椅，也不至于那么痛苦。” With drug or alcohol abusers, there is the hope of sobering up, an accomplishment in itself, no matter what problems may have accompanied their addictions.Compulsive gamblers often see no way to purge their urges when suffocating debts suggest only one answer: a hot streak(suicide?).David Phillips, a UC San Diego sociology professor, studied death records from 1982 to 1988 — before legalized gambling exploded across America — and found that people in Vegas, Atlantic City and other gambling meccas showed significantly higher suicide rates than people in non-gambling cities.吸毒者或酗酒者尚有清醒起来的希望，不管他们的毒瘾、酒瘾造成了什么麻烦，会清醒起来本身就是一项成就。嗜赌成癖的赌徒高筑的债台意味着只有一条出路：赢大奖(或自杀？)。这时，他们往往无法戒除赌瘾。加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校社会学教授戴维·菲利普斯研究了1982－1988年间—— 合法赌博在美国蔓延之前—— 的死亡档案，发现拉斯维加斯、大西洋城和其他赌城的居民的自杀率明显高于没有赌场的城市的居民。Rex Trivia is not about to kill himself, but like most compulsive gamblers, he occasionally thinks

about it.Looking at him, it's hard to imagine he once had a promising future as a smart young New York book editor.His pale eyes are expressionless, his hair yellowish and brittle.In his fifties, his health is failing: emphysema, three lung collapses, a bad aorta, rotting teeth.趣闻大王雷克斯尚未打算自杀，但和众多嗜赌成瘾的赌徒一样，偶尔他会闪过这个念头。望着他，难以相信他曾经是一位前途无量、年轻聪颖的纽约书籍编辑。他那灰色的双眸呆滞无神，淡黄的头发显得枯萎。才50多岁，健康状况已经每况愈下：肺气肿、3次肺萎陷、主动脉有问题，牙齿也损坏了。His plunge has been so dizzying that at one point he agreed to aid another desperate gambler in a run of bank robberies — nine in all, throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties.When the FBI busted him in 1980, he had $50,000 in cash in a dresser drawer and $100,000 in traveler's checks in his refrigerator's vegetable crisper.Rex, who ended up doing a short stint in prison, hasn't seen that kind of money since.他一直狂赌，结果走投无路，竟然答应协助另一个因绝望而不顾一切的赌徒实施银行抢劫—— 在洛杉矶和桔县共抢了9家银行。1980年联邦调查局逮捕他时，他五斗橱抽屉里有50,000美元现金，还有100,000美元的旅行支票藏在冰箱的蔬菜保鲜格内。结果雷克斯在监狱服了一段时间刑，从此再也没见到过那么多的钱了。At 11 P.M.on a Tuesday night, with a bankroll of $55 — all he has — he is at a poker table in Gardena.With quick, nervous hands he stacks and unstacks his $1 chips.The stack dwindles.Down $30, he talks about leaving, getting some sleep.Midnight comes and goes.Rex starts winning.Three aces.Four threes.Chips pile up — $60, $70.“A shame to go when the cards are falling my way.” He checks the time: “I'll go at 2.Win, lose or draw.”

一个星期二晚上11点，他揣着55美元——这是他的全部家产—— 坐在了加德纳的一张牌桌前。他两手紧张地把那些1美元的筹码迅速地堆起又弄散。筹码渐渐少了。到剩下30美元时，他说要走了，去睡一会儿。午夜稍纵即逝。雷克斯开始赢了。三张A牌，四张3点。筹码多起来了—— 60美元，70美元。“我牌运那么好，怎么能走。”他看了看时间：“到2点就走，不管是输是赢还是平。” Fate, kismet, luck — the cards keep falling.At 2 A.M., Rex is up $97.He stands, leaves his chips on the table and goes out for a smoke.In the darkness at the edge of the parking lot, he loiters with other regulars, debating with himself whether to grab a bus and quit.命运，天命加牌运—— 一路顺势。到了凌晨2点，雷克斯赢了97美元。他站起身，把筹码留在桌上，出去抽烟。他在停车场边上黑暗的地方与别的常客闲站着，心里盘算着要不要坐公共汽车回去算了。“I should go back in there and cash in and get out of here,” he says.“That's what I should do.”

“我该进去把筹码兑换成现金就离开这儿，”他说。“我该这么做。” A long pause.Crushing out his cigarette, Rex turns and heads back inside.He has made his decision.一阵长长的沉默。雷克斯摁灭烟蒂，转身走了进去。他作出了决定。
