Martin Seligman has been studying optimists and pessimists for 25 years.He is a psychologist and the author of bestselling books that help people to be more optimistic.In his studies of world-class athletes and top performers in the business world, Seligman found that optimists perform better when they encounter difficult situations than pessimists do.According to Seligman, “When pessimists come up against an obstacle, they often quit;when optimists meet an obstacle, they try harder.” An optimist stays in the game and instead of seeing a problem, looks for a solution.马丁•塞利格曼25 来一直从事对乐观者和悲观者的研究。他是位心理学家，也是帮助人们变得更乐观的畅销书作家。在他对世界级运动员和商界精英的研究中，塞利格曼发现乐观者在遇到困难处境时比悲观者表现得好。根据塞利格曼的研究：“当悲观者面对障碍时，他们常常会放弃；当乐观者遇到障碍时，他们会更加努力。”一位乐观者在竞争中乐于去寻找解决问题的方法而不是观望问题。

Text B

1.These different reactions are due to how people interpret events—whether they think positively, from an optimistic viewpoint, or negatively, from a pessimistic viewpoint.这些不同的反应缘于人们对事件的理解方式：他们是从乐观的角度还是从悲观的角度去想问题？

2.The difference between optimists and pessimists isn’t a difference in life experiences but rather in how people perceive and respond to problems.乐观主义者和悲观主义者的不同不是在生活经历上，而是他们如何认识问题和面对问题如何反应。

3.There are pros and cons to both optimism and pessimism.A healthy dose of optimism can be uplifting and hopeful, while a healthy dose of pessimism can be realistic and wise.Achieving a balance of being realistic and hopeful isn’t always easy.对于乐观和悲观都有赞成和反对意见。健康的乐观可使人情绪高涨，满怀希望，而健康的悲观可使人现实和明智。在面对现实和满怀希望之间获取平衡并不是容易的事。

4.Just as it is important to recognize what is unjust and unfair in our lives and the world, it is important to see the beauty, love, generosity, and goodness as well.就像认识到在生活中什么是不公正和不公平一样重要，我们同时也要看到美、爱、慷慨和善良。

1.Paul Newman has been acting since 1954 and has appeared in more than fifty films.He won an Oscar for best actor in 1986 for The Color of Money.In 1993, Newman received a special Oscar for humanitarian service.These two awards reflect his dual success as actor and philanthropist.保罗•纽曼从1945年开始从事演艺事业，共演出了50余部电影。他于1960年凭借在《金钱本色》中出色的表现获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角的称号。1993年，纽曼又因其进行人道主义服务获得了一项特殊的奥斯卡奖。这两个奖项的获得反应了他作为演员和慈善家双重身份的成功。

2.Paul Newman doesn’t think that being philanthropic is an exceptional quality.To him, generosity is simply a human trait, a common-sense way of living.“I respect generosity in people.I don’t look at it as philanthropy.I see it as an investment in the community.I am not a professional philanthropist,” says Newman.“I’m not running for sainthood.I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.保罗•纽曼从不认为从事慈善事业是一种少有的品格。对他来说，慷慨仅仅是人的一种性格，一种平常德生活方式。“我尊重人的慷慨之心，但我并不将之视作慈善。”纽曼说到。“我不想成为圣徒。我只是偶然间意识到，在生命中，某种程度上我们就如同农民一样，需要将我们从泥土中所取得的，归还给大地。”

It is too early to say that tattoos have achieved total social acceptance.A tattoo could still be a “career-killer” in more conservative professions such as banking or finance.However, plenty of

people are now entering the business world with tattoos they got as students.Eventually, these people will become business leaders, and the style will be more acceptable.When we see a tattoo on a president or prime minister, we will know that tattoos have finally arrived.现在说纹身已经被全社会所接受还言之过早。在较为保守的行业，例如银行或金融业，纹身可能仍是一个“职业杀手”。然而，现在正准备进入商界的许多人，他们在学生时代都有纹身。最终，当这些人成为商界领袖之后，这种风格就会更容易被接受了。当我们看到一个拥有纹身的总统或总理时，我们就会知道，纹身时代终于来到了。

Text B

1.What makes a girl beautiful? The lines above are from the song “Not Pretty Enough,” written and performed by Kasey Chambers, an Australian folk-rock singer and songwriter.The words tell us a lot about what it’s like to be female in a society in which media such as television, movies, and magazines define what it means to be beautiful.什么能使一个女孩漂亮？上面的歌词出自澳大利亚摇滚民谣歌手兼作曲家Kasey Chambers创作并演唱的一首歌“Not Pretty Enough”。在一个有电视、电影、杂志等媒体定义的含义的社会里，这句话可以告诉我们很多关于女性喜欢的东西及其生活感受。

2.In cultures where success and happiness are equated with being thin and attractive “just like models or movie stars,” many young women are left feeling either invisible or fat and unaccepted.“像模特或电影明星一样”，在这种把身材苗条和具有吸引力等同于成功和幸福的文化中，很多年轻女性只有这两种感觉，要么是被人视而不见，要么是肥胖和不被人认可。

3.It might not surprise you to read that 75% of women in the United States think that they are “too fat.” But many people do not realize how these ideas about body image have affected teenagers and children.You don’t have to look much farther than a billboard sign, magazine advertisement, or popular television show to see how girls and women are being presented and to understand how it affects them.可能令人无法理解的是美国75%的女性都认为她们“太胖”，但是很多人却没有意识到他们对于身体形象的想法已经影响到了十几岁的青少年和孩子。其实，你并不需要期待自己像广告标牌、杂志广告或者流行电视节目所呈现的女孩和女人一样，也不需要理解这是如何影响了她们。

4.Young people can benefit from realizing how much they are being targeted as a consumer group and how media messages are used to either sell them products or convey messages about body image, self-esteem, social values, and behavior.如果年轻人能够认识到他们正在被标榜为一个消费群体，而媒体信息只是被利用来或兜售商品或传递关于形体、自尊、社会价值以及行为的信息，那么他们就会从中获益。Unit 5

We have many things to do each day and we must give priority to those most important to ensure we have time for them.Text B

1.The earth is rich in biodiversity with millions of different species of plants and animals.However, many species are disappearing at an alarming rate.Biodiversity is reduced when ecosystems are modified and habitats of plants and animals are destroyed.The one species that is causing this phenomenon is the same one that can stop it — humans.地球生物丰富多样。动物、植物种类数以百万计。但是，很多物种正以惊人速度消失。生态系统的改变，动、植物生长、栖息地遭到破坏，都会导致生物多样性的下降。而造成这一现象的物种，也正是可以阻止这一现象的物种——那即是人类。

2.Many scientists view the current wave of species extinctions as unrivaled since the disappearance of the dinosaurs, more than 65 million years ago.Currently, around 11 000 species of plants and animals are at risk of disappearing forever — this includes over 180 mammals.很多科学家认为，继6千5百万年前恐龙灭绝之后，本轮物种灭绝是最为严重的一次。目前，大约有1万1千种动、植物正面临永远消失的危险——这当中包括180种哺乳动物。

3.If present trends continue, humanity stands to lose a large portion of its natural inheritance.Extinction is one environmental problem that is truly irreversible — once gone, these species cannot be brought back.如果当前的趋势继续持续，人类将失去很大一部分自然遗产。生物灭绝是一个完全不可逆的环境问题——物种一旦消失，再无可能重现。

4.Why care about endangered animals? There are many reasons for protecting endangered species, including our own survival.Many of our foods and medicines come from wild species, and each wild species depends on a particular habitat for its food and shelter, and ultimately its survival.If one species in an ecosystem disappears, other species are affected.And when one ecosystem is altered or destroyed, a ripple effect occurs, and the interdependency of all living things becomes clear.Animals not only need protection to ensure their own species’ survival, but they also serve as umbrella species;helping them helps numerous other species that live in the same habitat.为什么要保护濒危动物呢？保护濒危物种理由有很多，其中包括了我们人类自身生存。我们的很多食物、药物都来自野生物种。而每个野生物种都要依赖特定的生长、栖息地获取食物和居所，并最终得以生存。如果一个生态系统中的一个物种消失了，其他物种就会受到影响。而当一个系统遭到改变或破坏，涟漪效应就会产生。所有生物的互相依赖性就会明显显示出来。动物保护不仅能保证该物种自身的生存，而且由于该物种所起到的伞护物种作用，同一栖息地的不计其数的其他物种也会得到保护。

5.Beyond economics and human well-being, however, the rapid extinction of so many creatures on our planet raises profound ethical and moral questions.What sort of world will our children inherit? Do we want the future to be a place where pandas and gorillas only exist in captivity in zoos? If we are unable — or unwilling — to protect the animals we share our planet with, what does that say about humankind’s future on earth?

抛开经济意义和人类自身生存方面的考虑，我们地球上如此众多生物快速灭绝也引出了伦理、道德层面的深层问题。我们的后代子孙将继承一个什么样的世界？难道我们希望看到，将来大熊猫、大猩猩只有在动物园的笼中才能看到？假如我们不能或不愿保护这些和我们在一个星球上共存的动物，那还何谈地球上人类的未来呢？

第三篇：大学英语课后翻译

我的祖母不认识字，可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。小时候我总是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。而她在忙完家务之后，总会把我抱到膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。

我父母发现了我对故事的浓厚兴趣后，不失时机的引导我进行阅读。他们给我买了许多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。慢慢地我认识了许多字，能够自行阅读了。

Although my grandmother was illiterate ,she had a good stock of myths and legends.When I was young I gave her no peace,constantly asking her to tell me stories.After she had finished her housework,she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories,all the while rocking me in rhythm.Having noticed my interest in stories,my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading.They bought many storybooks with illustrations and whenever free,they would read these stories to me over and over again.By and by I had a vocabulary large enough to read on my own.一项又一项的研究发现，食物和一些慢性病之间有密切的关系。例如，某些慢性病危险的降低与多吃以植物为基本成分的食物有关。因此，在过去的十年中，美国饮食协会敦促美国人减少动物脂肪的摄取，增加水果、蔬菜和谷物的消费。同时，美国农业部发布了包括食物指导金字塔在内的文件，鼓励人们每天至少吃三道蔬菜和两份水果。但是，许多美国人还是没有按照这些建议去做。

Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases.For example ,a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption

of

plant-based foods.Therefore,in the past decade,the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats,and to boost consumption of fruits,vegetables,and grains.Meanwhile ,the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid,which encourages a minimum of three vegetable and two fruit servings per day.However,many Americans still don’t meet/listen to these recommendations.我们大学的新任校长不赞成在某些情况下容许说谎的看法。他认为人们一旦习惯于说任何一类谎

言，就会纵容自己，最终无法摆脱说谎恶习。是否讲谎话有时会成为棘手的难题，但是我们的校长坚持认为在教育青年人的过程中，所有的教育界人士都不得逃避将诚实放在首位的责任。我同意他的看法。你的意见呢？

The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances.He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.To tell or not to tell a lie can sometimes become a very sticky issue, but our president insists on the notion that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young.I agree with him.What about you?

赌徒的家人经常付出高昂的代价。他们不但要忍受一夜之间失去财富的痛苦，而且时常感到极度沮丧和无望。

一项全国性的调查发现，200多万成年人认为配偶的赌博行为是他们先前离婚的重要原因。密西西比州一个县的离婚数目在赌场出现后较从前几乎增加了两倍。该县还见证了赌场出现后家庭暴力事件的攀升。

大量的事实表明，法律许可的赌博其蔓延之势毁灭了个人，葬送了家庭，增加了犯罪，最终给社会造成的损失远远大于政府从中征的税收收入。Gamblers’ family members always pay a steep price.They not only have to endure the pain of having their wealth wiped away overnight, but they are also frequently overwhelmed with feelings of depression and hopelessness.A nationwide survey found that over 2 million adults identified a spouse’s gambling as a significant factor in a prior divorce.The number of divorce in a country in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos.The country has also witnessed increases in domestic violence since than.A considerable body of evidence showed that the expansion of legally sanctioned gambling destroys individuals, ruins families, increase crime, and ultimately costs society far more than the revenues government collects.
