原句: Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplin’s childhood.But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of “the Tramp”, the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame.(L.2-4)
狄更斯或许会创作出查理?卓别林的童年故事，但只有查理?卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪者”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。
句型提炼：
1.Sb.else might do/have done sth.But only sb.can do/could have done sth.else.别人或许会做某事，但只有某人才会做别的事。

其他作家或许会创作出关于伦敦的故事，但只有他才能塑造出“大卫”这样一个使其创作者声名永驻的人物。
Other writers might have written stories about London.But only he could have created the character David, who gave his creator permanent fame.2）Typical patterns for addition of sth.:

Work is not only a means of sustaining life.More importantly, it is the way through which people display their talent, realize their ambitions, build relationships and establish social status.2.2.3 Difficult sentences
1)Certainly middle-class audiences did;the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear.（L.11-14）
中产阶级当然这样认为；劳动阶级倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩：他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子，或把皮靴后跟对准权势者宽大的臀部一踢。
Meaning: There is no doubt that middle-class audiences thought so(Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp a little crude);this character was more popular among working-class audiences because he showed his discontent with people of authority by using his little cane to make them fall or by directing a kick at their rears.2）As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well-prepared for the battle that Chaplin’s life became as unfounded rumors of Marxist sympathies surrounded them both―and, later on, she was the center of rest in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in their own large family of talented children.（L.58-61）
由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也做好了充分准备，因为当时有毫无根据的流言说他俩是马克思主义的同情者。后来在他们自己的有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。
Meaning: Oona had met with many problems in her own family before marrying, so she was able to deal with the problems in Chaplin’s life.For example, at that time, there were unfounded rumors that they sympathized with Marxism;when Chaplin caused quarrels in their large family with many talented children, it was Oona who solved such problems and brought peace back into the family.3.Post-reading

3.2 Summary of the text
Charlie Chaplin was born in London.However, he was much more popular in other countries than the land of his birth.Many English people considered Chaplin’s Tramp a little crude.However, in Modern Times in 1936, he made up a nonsense language with no known nationality and this helped to bring about his huge success.Chaplin was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along.The physical transformation of lifeless objects, plus his skill in acting became the secrets of Chaplin’s great comedy.Chaplin had a deep need to be loved and fortunately life eventually gave him stable happiness when he married Oona in 1942.3.3 Writing

Section B The Political Career of a Female Politician
1.Reading skill
1.1 Mixture of Fact and Opinion
As we learned in Unit 2, Book 1, Unit 3 and Unit 8, Book 2, and Unit 2, Book 3, developing the ability to read in a critical way involves the ability to distinguish between facts on the one hand and the writer’s opinion or interpretations on the other.It is always appreciated that we can keep facts and opinions apart, but writers often mix facts and opinions even within the same sentence, with some words representing facts and others representing opinions.1.2 Examples
Example 1:
But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of “The Tramp”, the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame.(Para.1, Reading Passage A, Unit 2)
Even though the words only, great, permanent state opinions, the sentence states many facts―Charlie Chaplin, created, comic character, the Tramp, the little man in rags.Even more important, the main point of the sentence is to state the fact that Charlie Chaplin created “The Tramp”, which brought him fame.Thus the sentence is basically factual.Example 2:
This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, are surely the secrets of Chaplin’s great comedy.(Para.6, Reading Passage A, Unit 2)
Even though the words surely, secrets, great state opinions, the sentence states many facts―physical transformation, the skill he executed with, again and again.The sentence is basically factual as it deals with Charlie Chaplin’s skills in performance.1.3 Text reading

第三篇：新视野大学英语(第二版)第四册UNIT1课后作文
Life is never short of beauty
Most people are very busy every day.They've been busying with study, work and family ,so they often complain that life is bad.In fact, I want to say that life is never short of beauty.I once saw a child riding on the swing.He screamed as he almost touched the sky with each upward curve of the swing.His father looked at him and longed to share his joy.Finally, he loosened his tie and swing as his son did.I think he won't forget that day forever.I recall a famous article “YOUTH”: Youth is not a time of life, it is the state of mind, it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.The fact, the heart of everyone is just like a crystal ball.We should try to give off the mass of color to every corner of our life.Look at the transparent blue sky and think of that pure snowman, beauty fill our life.Treasure them.Every day in the morning we can say with a big smile: “Oh, what a lovely day!”
Life is full of beauty.Notice it.Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.Smell the rain, and feel the wind.Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.In my eyes, beauty means such things that can arouse many of human's wonderful emotions: appreciation, respect, encouragement.生活是永远不会缺少美丽
大多数人每天都很忙。他们一直忙着与学习、工作和家庭,所以他们经常抱怨生活太糟糕了。事实上,我想说生活是永远不会缺少美丽。
有一次,我看见一个孩子荡秋千。他尖叫起来,因为他几乎触到天空与每个上行曲线的浪潮。他父亲看着他和渴望分享他的喜悦。最后,他解开了领带摆动和他儿子所做的。我认为他不会忘记那一天,直到永远。我想起来一个著名的文章《青春》:青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是心的境界,它是生命的深泉在涌流。
事实上,每一个人的心中就像一个水晶球。我们应该设法把大规模的颜色对人们生活的各个角落。看那透明的蓝色的天空,想想:纯粹的雪人祥和、充满我们的生活。珍爱他们,每一处一天早晨,我们可以用一个灿烂的微笑说:“噢,这是一个多么美好的一天!”
生活充满了美丽。注意到它。注意到蜜蜂仙蒂,小小孩,笑脸。闻到雨,感觉到风。活出你自己的生活充满无限潜能,为你的梦想而战。
第四篇：21世纪大学英语第四册第二单元课文翻译
A我们需要的感激A ?J ?克罗宁一个晴朗的下午，我在纽约上了一辆出租车。从司机的表情和他猛拉排挡的样子中，我可以看出他很不高兴。我问他是怎么回事。“我完全有理由生气，”他怒气冲冲地说。“今天上午我的一个乘客把钱包忘在我车里了。里面有近300块钱。我花了一个多小时想方设法找那个家伙。最后我在他的宾馆里找到了他。他拿了钱包，一声不吭地瞪着眼看着我，好像我本来打算要偷他的钱包似的。”“他没有给你酬金？”我大声问。“一个子儿也没有。但我要的不是钱„„”他咕哝着，然后突然大声说，“只要那个家伙说句什么„„”因为他诚实的助人行为没有得到感激，那位出租车司机一整天都闷闷不乐，而且我知道以后他在做类似的好事之前会仔细考虑一下了。这种对感激的需要是我们都能感受到的，而拒绝表示感谢则会大大扼杀善良与合作的精神。第二次世界大战期间，辛辛那提的一位母亲收到他参军的儿子一封来信，信中提到诺曼底一个村庄中的一位妇女在他受伤饥饿时将他带到家中，帮他躲过了德国人的搜捕。不幸的是，后来那男孩在阿登高地的进攻战中阵亡了。然而，这位母亲却受到一种不可抗拒的愿望的驱使。她积蓄了两年，穿过大西洋，找到了她儿子提到的那个村庄。经过多次打听之后，她找到了那位曾经保护过她儿子的妇女——一位贫穷农夫的妻子——将一个包裹硬塞进她手里。那是她儿子在毕业典礼上获得的一块金表，是那个男孩曾经拥有过的唯一真正有价值的东西。这位母亲表示感激的举动深深触动了人们的心灵，在那个村庄内外成为传奇般的故事。它比出色的演讲更能让人培养起对美国人的好感。感激是对每一个无论大小的善行
优雅地接受并表示欣赏的艺术。我们大多数人受到款待，接受礼物和明显的好处时都不会忘记表示我们的愉悦之情，但即使在这种情况下我们也还能够完善我们表示感激的方式，让它尽可能的个人化和真诚。最近，我和妻子在意大利南部旅游时，我给康涅狄格州的一位朋友寄去了几瓶令我们喜欢的当地佳酿。那是件小小的礼物，然而令我们惊讶的是，我们收到的不是一封传统的感谢信而是一张电唱机唱片。我们播放它时，听到了我们的朋友在饭后的一段话，描述他和他的客人们如何喜欢那酒，并感谢我们考虑得周到。有这件不同寻常的东西来证明别人欣赏我们的礼物真令人愉快。有时感激不仅仅是一件个人的事。我在麦吉尔大学学医的儿子告诉我，有一位被送到蒙特利尔医院的病人经过输血而获救。康复以后他问：“我是否能找到那位献血者的名字，向他表示感谢？”他被告知献血者的名字是从来不公开的。出院几个星期后他回来献了一品脱血。从那以后他一次又一次地为了同一目的回来。当一名外科医生称赞这种不留姓名的高尚行为时，他只是回答说：“有个我永远也不知道是谁的人为我这样做了。我只是在说‘谢谢’。”感激不仅可以是一种转瞬即逝的情绪，在有些情况下还可以是一种能持续终生的更新，想到这一点真令人感到欣慰。丈夫充满感激地回想起妻子慷慨无私的行为，妻子从不忘记丈夫送给她的礼物，这些都大大有助于使家庭生活保持和谐。英国作家和博物学家W?H?赫德森曾经写道：“一天晚上，我带一个朋友回家同我们一起吃了顿家常便饭。后来他对我说：‘你真幸运，你的妻子虽然身体不好还要照顾孩子，但菜烧得那么好吃。’那句赞美的话打开
了我的眼睛，它教会我要感谢妻子日复一日的、而一直被我习以为常的英雄行为。”感激的礼仪首先应该在小事情上用得最多。送报的男孩、送牛奶的人、邮递员、理发师、饭店里的女招待、开电梯的人——所有这些人都在以某种方式为我们服务。通过表示感谢我们可以使日常平淡的关系具有人情味，使单调的任务变得令人愉快。我的一位在伦敦当公共汽车售票员的病人有一次对我吐露说，“有时我真厌倦了我的工作。人们抱怨，麻烦你，说车钱找得不对。但是有一位早晚乘我车的女士总是在我收她的车票时用一种特别友好的方式感谢我。我真希望她是代表所有的乘客在说话。这使我一直保持微笑。”阿诺德?本涅特的一个出版商夸奖自己的秘书效率特高。一天，本涅特对她说：“你的老板说你效率极高。你的秘诀是什么？”“那不是我的秘诀，”秘书回答。“那是他的。”每次她为他做一件事，无论多小的事，他从未忘记表示感谢。因此，她工作一直非常努力。有些人不愿表达感激之情，因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。我的一个病人在出院几个星期后回到医院来感谢他的护士。“我没有更早地回来，”他解释说，“是因为我猜想你们对于人们的感激一定厌烦得要命。”“正好相反，”她回答说，“我很高兴你来。很少有人意识到我们多么需要鼓励，我们从那些鼓励我们的人身上获得了多大的帮助。”我们所给予的感激永远不会过多。因为我们身边的人在构筑他们的人生哲学时所依据的正是这些微笑、我们所表示的感谢和我们表示欣赏的各种小小的示意动作。
B礼仪为什么是重要的朱迪思?马丁 朱迪思?马丁(生于1938年)是
《华盛顿邮报》的戏剧和电影评论家，她撰写的联合特写专栏“礼仪小姐”通过稿件辛迪加在国际上多家报纸同时发表。她在哈佛大学的一次演讲中阐述了她在《普通礼节》一书中的观点，现转载如下。如今的美国人错误地认为只要具有个人美德就会毫不费力地、自然地产生可接受的社会行为。道德和礼节之间的区别已变得模糊了。大多数人以为，你只需要有一副好心肠，其余的事情便不用你费心了。你不必写感谢信。这种对于人际关系的“自然的”态度认定：熟知任何一个人就是爱他，人类唯一的问题只是沟通问题。这既否认了人们可能被基本的、的确不可调和的差异——哲学的、政治的或者宗教的差异——所分隔，也假定了所有这样的差异仅是误解而已。许多形式的礼节恰恰是用来掩盖那些由不可调和的分歧所造成的厌恶之情的。只要礼仪应当完全符合道德的想法存在，用来润滑普通生活的应酬话或惯例就会产生道德问题。过去人们讲究义务性的正式拜访，那个时候，“夫人不在家”的意思显然就是“夫人不想见你，就像你并不想见她一样，不过她注意到你已经尽职了。”如今，我们从来不给自己暂时被别人联系不上的便利，甚至对陌生人也不例外。有了电话和BP机，人们使得自己能随时被任何人所立即接通，而被认为无礼的并不是打电话干扰别人的人，而是不肯听电话的人。我收到许多记者的来信，他们认为只有直言不讳才是诚实。他们感到气愤，因为问他们“你好吗？”的人们并不真正想听他们说肚子不舒服。在写信给那些他们并不想结交的人时，他们要求不以“你的忠实的”来签署信件。让人有点讨厌的是，在说“早上好”之前得看一下天气预报。那
些提倡实话实说的人在回答“我看上去好吗？”之类漫不经心的问题时会说实话，这也等于要求给粗野无礼以特别许可。礼仪标准化的缺乏导致了一个经常是愤怒与混乱的社会，在那儿每个人都赤裸着他的道德观，每一个细小的行为都被视作是一种道德观的显露。今天，每个人都声称不仅有权设计自己的礼节，而且有权在别人不遵守这些礼节时发火，即使他并没有费心让别人了解过他的喜好。事实上，现在比任何时候更容易在无意中伤人。一位绅士为一位女士开门，因为他的母亲告诉他女士们喜欢这样的礼节，但是这位女士却转过身来，对他现出一面蔑视的样子，因为他侮辱了她作为女性的人格。一个年轻女子在一辆拥挤的公共汽车上给一位身体虚弱的年长男士让座，而他厌恶地瞪了她一眼，因为她损伤了他作为男子的尊严。注意，这些人只是想表示友好；唯一的问题是他们在遵循不同的礼节体系而已。奇怪的是，现在比任何时候更难故意伤人。如果你说，“你面目可憎，我恨你，”那人可能会回答，“你正在气头上 ；我会等你感觉好一些。”解释自己的动机能够为所有的过失开脱，这种观念也许在一个凌辱肆虐的世界里十分重要，在那儿，万能的理由，“我心情不好”，赦免了一个人所有的义务或责任。有人认为，人们无需借助全社会默认的一种人为规范就可以“自然地”为人处事。这种想法就像认为人们可以用一种没有被普遍认可的语法规则的语言来交际的想法一样愚蠢。如同语言一样，礼仪的准则可以被运用得或娴熟或拙劣，其目的可以是崇高的或邪恶的，其表达的观念和感情可以多种多样。如同语言一样，礼仪不停地经历着缓慢的变化和适应过程，但这些变化必须是全
球性的，而不是细微局部的。因为如果人人都即兴创造自己的礼仪，那谁也不会理解另一个人行为的含义，结果就会造成社会的混乱和文明的终结。
