新標準大學英語_綜合教程3_課后漢譯英答案

Unit1對于是否應該在大學期間詳細規劃自己的未來，學生們意見不一。有的人認為對未來應該有一個明確的目標和詳細的計劃，為日后可能遇到的挑戰做好充分的準備；有的人則認為不用過多考慮未來，因為未來難以預料。(map out;brace oneself for;uncertainty)

Students differ about whether they should have their future mapped out when they are still at university.Some think they should have a definite goal and detailed plan, so as to brace themselves for any challenges, whereas some others think they don’t have to think much about the future, because future is full of uncertainties.經過仔細檢查，這位科學家得知自己患了絕癥。雖然知道自己將不久于人世，他并沒有抱怨命運的不公，而是準備好好利用剩下的日子，爭取加速推進由他和同事們共同發起的那個研究項目，以提前結項。(tick away;make the best of;have a shot at)

After a very careful check-up, the scientist was told he had got a fatal disease.Although he knew that his life was ticking away, instead of complaining about the fate, the scientist decided to make the best of the remaining days, and speed up the research project he and his colleagues initiated, and have a shot at completing it ahead of schedule.Unit3隨著婚禮的臨近，蘇珊變得非常焦慮。她說不清楚是什么讓自己如此煩惱。在同好友凱特長談了一次后，她才意識到，盡管自己已經28歲了，但在情感方面還不夠成熟，還沒有為婚姻做好準備，也不知道這樁婚姻是否會給自己帶來美滿的家庭生活。(pin down;guarantee)

As the wedding ceremony was approaching, Susan had become quite anxious.She could not pin down what exactly was troubling her.After a long talk with her close friend Kate, she realized that, although she was 28 years old, she was not emotionally mature enough to be ready for marriage and she was not sure whether the marriage would guarantee her a happy family life.她知道中國學生總是不愿意表達自己的情感和想法，這不僅僅因為他們對自己的英語口語不夠自信，還因為他們相信穩重是一種美德。因此她特意設計了一些簡單的話題，鼓勵學生參與討論，讓他們增強自信心，拉近彼此間的距離。(shy away;engage sb in)

She knew that Chinese students had a way of shying away from revealing their

feelings or opinions, due not merely to their lack of confidence in spoken English, but to their belief in the virtue of modesty.So she specially conceived a couple of simple topics and encouraged them in the discussion, in order that they might become more confident and closer with each other.Unit4我們根本就看不懂他們的計劃書，因為他們的觀點不太容易把握。這很可能是因為我們雙方對于另一方的思維方式都感到同樣的困惑。我認為應該安排一次面談，讓大家消除誤會，掃除溝通的障礙。(make of;come to grips with;it’s a safe bet that;as baffled … as)

We couldn’t make of their proposal at all, because it was no easy job for us to come to grips with their perspective.It was a safe bet that we were as much baffled about their way of thinking as they were about ours.I think we need to arrange a meeting to clear up misunderstandings and to remove communication barriers.從與他共事二十多年的一位同事所寫的傳記中不難得出這樣的結論：他所代表的絕對是該國二戰之后的精英階層，他們在宗教和政治方面的觀念較為保守。(nothing if not;in the wake of;in terms of)

From a biography written by one of his former colleagues who had worked with him for more than two decades, it is not difficult to conclude that what he represented was nothing if not the elite class of the country in the wake of World War II, who were rather conservative in terms of religious and political views.Unit6人們很不理解為什么他一份工作干了30年，大多數人到了他這個年紀至少已經換了四五份工作了。也許對他來說，為了獲得更高的薪水或是尋求體驗新事物的刺激而換工作毫無意義。在他看來，唯一重要的事是穩定。(stick with;point;thrill)

People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the same job for 30 years when most people of his age have changed at least four or five jobs.Maybe for him there is no point in changing jobs for a higher pay or for the thrill of experiencing something new.The only thing that matters, in his point of view, is stability.協會中的大多數會員認為應該竭力游說政府，確保這項計劃獲得批準。至關重要的是要把決策者中的一些反對者爭取過來。雖然這會很難，但是他們下定決心要作最大的努力。(lobby;win over;adj.+ though it + be;utmost)

Most members of the association believe that they need to lobby as hard as possible to make sure that the plan will be approved by the government.It’s essential to win over some of the naysayer among the policy makers.Tough though it will be, they have made up their mind to make utmost efforts.Unit9先前的一些調查表明，在這個國家的政治選舉中種族曾經是最為重要的因素，因為這是一個由多個種族、多個民族組成的國家。隨后，大量移民的涌入使得情況更為復雜。候選人不得不把信仰、文化等問題考慮進來。(be comprised of;substantial;complicate)

According to some prior surveys, race used to be the most important factor in political elections of this country, as the population is comprised of multi-races and

multi-ethnics.However, a substantial number of immigrants complicated the situation.Candidates are obliged to take the issues of faith and cultures into consideration.2 所有對政治感興趣的、才華出眾的年輕人都夢想著有朝一日成為偉大的政治領袖，對世界有積極的影響，讓世界變得更美好。但是可悲的是，他們中的許多人在實現自己的夢想之后，只關心維護自己的權力地位而不是想著服務人民。更糟的是，有的時候他們會濫用他們的權力來滿足自己的貪

欲，而讓國家和人民的利益受損。(aspire;have impact on;maintain)

All talented young men who are interested in politics aspire to become great political leaders some day, to have impact on the world in a positive way and make it a better place.But sadly, many of them, after realizing their dreams, will only be concerned with maintaining their power and status instead of serving people.What is worse, sometimes they will abuse power to satisfy their greed at the expense of the country and people.Unit10在這本書中，他試圖找出一個合理的解釋，來說明為什么這個古老的儀式不僅沒有被現代文明所消滅，反而得以在全國傳播。他的結論是，作為一個可以追溯到公元五世紀的傳統，它絕對不僅僅是一個可以被輕易拋棄的儀式，它象征著人類在宇宙中努力尋找和諧，以滿足他們在一個混亂的世界

中獲得心靈寧靜的欲望。(plausible;wipe out;trace back to;more than just;dispose of;symbolize)

In this book he attempted to give a plausible reason to explain why this ancient ritual, instead of being wiped out by modern civilization, is spreading out through the whole country.His conclusion is that as a tradition that can be traced back to the 5th century, it is more than just a ritual that can be easily disposed of;it symbolizes the human effort to find harmony in the universe and thus satisfies people’s need to achieve peace of mind in a chaotic world.這部電視劇主要講述了一對戀人為了過上更好的生活，暫時分離，各自去他國留學的故事。其中，男女主人公分別時在機場相擁而泣的場景最令人感動。不管它真實與否，流暢的劇情和主要演員所展示出的精湛演技還是讓觀眾對該劇評價甚高。(that of;depart;embrace;adj.+ or not;storytelling)

The story of this TV series is that of a couple who, in order to earn a better life, depart each other and study overseas on their own.The most striking scene is when the hero and heroine embrace each other and say farewell at the airport.Factual or not, it is highly praised by the audience because of its smooth

storytelling and sophisticated acting skills of the feature actors.

Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and the students are becoming more and more practical.Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.我從未指望靠上課來學好這門課。但我確實去聽課，因為在課上我能了解這門課的重點，學會如何組織材料、如何推理。(hope;by doing …;the place where)

Why does it matter that a library has many new books and electronic resources readily available to the readers? This is because if so, the scholars know the latest development in their own fields and know whether their research is valuable.Unit 4這個消息來得如此突然、如此令人震驚，我在沙發上呆呆地坐了幾分鐘。我的第一本能就是趕緊打電話把這件事告訴領導，看看我們能為那些在這起交通事故中死傷的同事做些什么。(so… that;first instinct)

新標準大學英語綜合教程3課后翻譯答案

Unit1 1 對于是否應該在大學期間詳細規劃自己的未來，學生們意見不一。有的人認為對未來應該有一個明確的目標和詳細的計劃，為日后可能遇到的挑戰做好充分的準備；有的人則認為不用過多考慮未來，因為未來難以預料。(map out;brace oneself for;uncertainty)

Students differ about whether they should have their future mapped out when they are still at university.Some think they should have a definite goal and detailed plan, so as to brace themselves for any challenges, whereas some others think they don’t have to think much about the future, because future is full of uncertainties.2 經過仔細檢查，這位科學家得知自己患了絕癥。雖然知道自己將不久于人世，他并沒有抱怨命運的不公，而是準備好好利用剩下的日子，爭取加速推進由他和同事們共同發起的那個研究項目，以提前結項。(tick away;make the best of;have a shot at)

After a very careful check-up, the scientist was told he had got a fatal disease.Although he knew that his life was ticking away, instead of complaining about the fate, the scientist decided to make the best of the remaining days, and speed up the research project he and his colleagues initiated, and have a shot at completing it ahead of schedule.Unit3 1 隨著婚禮的臨近，蘇珊變得非常焦慮。她說不清楚是什么讓自己如此煩惱。在同好友凱特長談了一次后，她才意識到，盡管自己已經28歲了，但在情感方面還不夠成熟，還沒有為婚姻做好準備，也不知道這樁婚姻是否會給自己帶來美滿的家庭生活。(pin down;guarantee)

As the wedding ceremony was approaching, Susan had become quite anxious.She could not pin down what exactly was troubling her.After a long talk with her close friend Kate, she realized that, although she was 28 years old, she was not emotionally mature enough to be ready for marriage and she was not sure whether the marriage would guarantee her a happy family life.2 她知道中國學生總是不愿意表達自己的情感和想法，這不僅僅因為他們對自己的英語口語不夠自信，還因為他們相信穩重是一種美德。因此她特意設計了一些簡單的話題，鼓勵學生參與討論，讓他們增強自信心，拉近彼此間的距離。(shy away;engage sb in)

She knew that Chinese students had a way of shying away from revealing their feelings or opinions, due not merely to their lack of confidence in spoken English, but to their belief in the virtue of modesty.So she specially conceived a couple of simple topics and encouraged them in the discussion, in order that they might become more confident and closer with each other.Unit4 1 我們根本就看不懂他們的計劃書，因為他們的觀點不太容易把握。這很可能是因為我們雙方對于另一方的思維方式都感到同樣的困惑。我認為應該安排一次面談，讓大家消除誤會，掃除溝通的障礙。(make of;come to grips with;it’s a safe bet that;as baffled … as)

We couldn’t make of their proposal at all, because it was no easy job for us to come to grips with their perspective.It was a safe bet that we were as much baffled about their way of thinking as they were about ours.I think we need to arrange a meeting to clear up misunderstandings and to remove communication barriers.2 從與他共事二十多年的一位同事所寫的傳記中不難得出這樣的結論：他所代表的絕對是該國二戰之后的精英階層，他們在宗教和政治方面的觀念較為保守。(nothing if not;in the wake of;in terms of).From a biography written by one of his former colleagues who had worked with him for more than two decades, it is not difficult to conclude that what he represented was nothing if not the elite class of the country in the wake of

World War II, who were rather conservative in terms of religious and political views.Unit7 1 媒體對于接連發生的兩件慘劇之間沒有任何關系的說法表示懷疑，總統沒有迅速作出反應也讓大家很不滿。談到總統的執政能力，媒體早已失去信心，除非他能在隨后的任期中有所作為。(consecutive；independent of;responsive;when it comes to;if only)

The media doubt the claim that the two consecutive tragedies were independent of each other, and are dissatisfied with the fact that the President was not responsive immediately.When it comes to his competence in running the government, the media have long lost their trust, if only he could do well in his subsequent term.2 時刻牢記不要因為你的孩子成績不好而羞辱他們，因為這種被羞辱的痛苦記憶可能會困擾孩子很長時間，使他們從小就厭學，并且會妨礙他們形成積極的生活態度。只有當父母發現孩子身上的優點，并且不斷鼓勵他們，孩子的發展才能得以長久。(turn off from;humiliate;haunt;identify)

Keep remembering that do not humiliate your child because they don’t gain good grades, as their memory of the humiliation will haunt them for a long time, turn them off from learning at an early age and prevent them from gaining positive attitudes towards life.The development of children can be sustained only when parents identify the strengths in their children and encourage them from time to time.Unit9 1 先前的一些調查表明，在這個國家的政治選舉中種族曾經是最為重要的因素，因為這是一個由多個種族、多個民族組成的國家。隨后，大量移民的涌入使得情況更為復雜。候選人不得不把信仰、文化等問題考慮進來。(be comprised of;substantial;complicate)

According to some prior surveys, race used to be the most important factor in political elections of this country, as the population is comprised of multi-races and multi-ethnics.However, a substantial number of immigrants complicated the situation.Candidates are obliged to take the issues of faith and cultures into consideration.2 所有對政治感興趣的、才華出眾的年輕人都夢想著有朝一日成為偉大的政治領袖，對世界有積極的影響，讓世界變得更美好。但是可悲的是，他們中的許多人在實現自己的夢想之后，只關心維護自己的權力地位而不是想著服務人民。更糟的是，有的時候他們會濫用他們的權力來滿足自己的貪 欲，而讓國家和人民的利益受損。(aspire;have impact on;maintain)All talented young men who are interested in politics aspire to become great political leaders some day, to have impact on the world in a positive way and make it a better place.But sadly, many of them, after realizing their dreams, will only be concerned with maintaining their power and status instead of serving people.What is worse, sometimes they will abuse power to satisfy their greed at the expense of the country and people.
