我本該聽從父親的明智的建議，把錢省點下來而不是花光

I should have listened to my father’s wise counsel, and saved some money instead of spending it all.1…we had experienced the usual ups and downs of a couple learning to know, understand, and respect each other.(L1-2)

Like any other couples who were learning to know, understand and respect each other, we had had both happy and unhappy periods.Ups and downs: a mix of good experiences and bad experiences.e.g.Life is full of ups and downs.人生充滿了歡樂和痛苦.2.Our racial and cultural differences enhanced our relationship and taught us a great deal about tolerance, compromise, and being open with each other.(L5)我們之間的種族及文化差異不但增強了我們的關系,還教會了我們彼此間要寬容,諒解和開誠布公.being open with each other:

e.g.Upon(On)hearing the news, she burst into tears.一聽到這個消息,她就放聲大哭.6.I harbored reservations about a mixed marriage, prejudices you might even call them.(L28)

I had doubts whether a marriage between a white and a black would work out well, which you might even call prejudices.In this sentence, the author used an appositional structure.So we can change it into:

I harbored my reservations about a mixed marriage.You might even call my reservations prejudices.7.Gail’s father, David, whom I had not yet met personally, approached our decision with a father-knows-best attitude.(L.43)

I had not yet met Gail’s father, David, face to face.He dealt with our decision in a way that seemed he was the most experienced in finding out the truth.8.Why the haste?(L.45)Then why the rush?(L49)

Why do you want to get married in such a hurry?

This is an elliptical question.In WHY-Q we often have ellipsis.9.Buy time, buy time…(L.49)

Delay your decision about marriage that seems too soon.10.…it’s never too late to change your mind.(L.65)

You can change your mind any time, however soon or late.The pattern: never too…to(do)…

第二冊 Unit1Are You a 1960s Type Student?

A 1960s type student is very different from students nowadays.Their main purpose to get into colleges is as far apart as heaven and earth.A 1960s student is committed to freedom and justice.However, college students nowadays are utilitarians, what they truly want to do is to increase their chances on the employment market.As an utilitarian and a college student myself, I can fully understand why they focus on employability prospects.Financial pressure and high employment pressure play a main part.An increasing number of people get higher education, thus a position which needed a B.S.in the past, demands M.S., even though a B.S.can handle it quite well.Then the employment market becomes competitive.And they will spent more

time on their study, and lose interest in the outerworld, in order to be financial secured after they graduate.In this process, their life becomes colorless and tedious.William Zinsser said, “What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future.I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step.”Although we are not aware of political awakening, we are still able to see universities as an end in itself.Instead of freedom and justice, college life mean making new friends, following our muses, indulging in our real interests.

第五篇：新視野大學英語第二冊Unit 4 Text

Unit 4 Text A 大學情侶 我微笑著看著我那兩個可愛的女兒，她們似乎比她們的父母還是大學情侶那會兒更為成熟。琳達，21歲，在大學一年級交過一個男友，她曾以為會跟那個男孩結婚，但他們已不再來往了。梅麗莎，19歲，還沒有一個固定的男友。我的女兒不知何時才能遇到她們的那個“唯一”，她們偉大的愛。她們認為她們的父親和我有著一段經典的、童話般的浪漫史，從一開始就直奔婚姻的殿堂。也許，她們是正確的，但在那時似乎并不是那么回事。在某種程度上，愛神恰恰在你最沒準備時來臨。誰曾想到，布奇和我最終會結婚呢？ 他之所以成為我男友，只是因為當時我那膚淺的打算：我要找一個可愛的男友！我們通過我的大學室友介紹在大學食堂相識。在那個命中注定的夜晚，我只是好奇，但對他而言，我認為是一見鐘情。他凝視著我的臉，說：“你有一雙美麗的眼睛。” 他整個晚上一直盯著我。我真的對他沒那么感興趣，其原因有二。首先，他看起來就像是一個野小子，甚至還有些危險。其次，雖然他很可愛，卻似乎有點怪異。他騎著自行車經過我的宿舍，裝作與我“偶遇”，看到我時還假裝驚訝。我喜歡被重視的感覺，但對他的野性和充滿活力的個性卻小心謹慎。他很會說話，這會迷倒任何女孩。當我開始愛上他時，恐懼向我襲來。他那令人激動的“壞小子形象”簡直太誘人了。究竟是什么吸引了我？ 我，一直口碑極好。為了獲得優(yōu)異的成績，我的注意力只專注在自己的學習上。但又怎么樣呢？ 大學應該是學習的好時間，可也應該有一些樂趣。我已幾乎達成了偉大的教育目標，離畢業(yè)只有一學期之遙了。但我卻還沒有享受過任何樂趣，我的生活乏味，沒有一點新鮮感！我需要一個男朋友，當然不是任何男朋友。他必須很可愛。于是我那個學期的目標就成為：雄心勃勃，抓住一個我能找到的最可愛的男友。我擔心他會怎么看我。不錯，我們生活在一個性觀念正在發(fā)生戲劇性轉變的時代，但我是一個傳統(tǒng)的女孩，對在校園里似乎常見的新方式還沒有心理準備。布奇看上去很出色！我對他的個性毫無免疫力，但我對此很害怕。那天晚上當他向大家宣布我是他女友時，我是同意的。但我隨后突然清醒：“噢，我的天哪！我是他女友嗎？這是怎么回事？” 緊接著，他在我耳邊低聲地甜言蜜語：“有一天我要娶你，我會成為一名律師。你會看到這一天的。” 我笑著對自己說：“我絕不會嫁給這個家伙。他是一個沒有前途的叛逆者。他是我男朋友，只因為我恨枯燥的學生生活。我只想得到樂趣而已。” 果然，一個月后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他所有的課程都不及格。因而，他將被大學除名。令我厭惡的是，他似乎屈從了自己的命運。我知道還有希望，所以我讓他去學院的秘書那兒進行復議。我告訴他：“你要先從賓夕法尼亞大學拿到政治學學士學位，然后進入法律學院。”我以他的名義遞交了呈請書，結果被批準了。校方同意復議布奇的情況。我們的男女朋友關系一經確定，他就協(xié)調了他的學習和社交生活，結果各門課都通過了。他最終學了法律。盡管布奇的性格有點野，但他在骨子里卻是一個完美的紳士，這值得高度贊揚。的確，他有時會在我朋友面前親吻我的嘴，擅自表達他的愛。我的朋友看到了很驚訝，也很不以為然。但事實上，我們在整整七年的戀愛關系中一直是純潔和負責的。我們坐在棕櫚樹下，手牽著手，聽著浪漫的歌曲，觀賞著日落，編織著和我們自己的孩子在一起的美夢，一直到永遠。兩年糊里糊涂地過去了。一天，布奇出其不意地手捧著一打紅玫瑰跪下向我求婚。我心中充滿了深情，也坦誠了對他的愛：“太太太太太浪漫了！” 可我隨即從幻想中驚醒。我大喊出來：“天哪。不！我們現(xiàn)在結婚還太早了。我們甚至還沒有大學畢業(yè)呢！” 我真的很喜歡他，但我對我們感情修成正果的機率卻持悲觀態(tài)度。五年后，我們結了婚。我們忠實的愛和學習之旅帶我們走過艱難崎嶇的巖石路，走上平坦易行的公路。它是一個永久、浪漫，有時又瘋狂的愛情故事。它詮釋了一對仍在瘋狂地愛著對方的夫婦如何一起度過了29年之久的蜜月。我們的愛從漫不經心的互相吸引開始，但最終卻發(fā)展出成熟的愛情和富足的生活。

Unit 4 Text B 戀愛預留日 每天我都焦急地等你來上課。我迫不及待地等待我們的互相微笑，互問早安。你在離上課僅幾秒前才出現(xiàn)，在那之前，我對任何東西都無動于衷，只會注意你的到來。我不溫習功課，卻期待著你的腳步聲，期待聽到你的聲音。今天你又來晚了, 但我不介意，因為在想約你出去的沖動被克制了一個月之后，今天我感覺大膽多了。今天，我要采取行動。我知道約會方式近年來有了顯著的改變，對許多女性來說，邀請男性出去已不是什么大膽的舉動。但是，因為我所受的傳統(tǒng)教育，邀請你出去這一簡單的概念似乎非同尋常。從小到大，這一信息很明確：男性必須主動出擊，聯(lián)絡女性。他們應該打電話，要求約會，并支付約會的費用。然而，在大學這么些年，我了解到的并非如此。我的許多女性朋友通過主動提出與男性交往，讓她們的社交生活迸出了火花。我的女性朋友都認為，女性必須更多地參與約會的過程。“我不能無所事事、一味等待，”我的前室友曾說。“雖然這很難，但如果我想約會，我必須邀請男人出去！” 更多的女性在爭取主動，在邀請男性出去。許多男性說他們認同這一新現(xiàn)象。他們都松了一口氣，約會不再僅僅取決于男性自己的意愿和勇氣來踏出第一步。那么，我為什么還這么緊張？ 我告訴自己要放松，因為如今的約會要比以往來得輕松。一個大學的約會可以是兩個人一起做任何事，從一起學習到一起共度閑暇時間，如看電影。我的同齡人大多喜歡非正式的約會，因為它花費更少，且舒適。學生邀請人打網球要比他們計劃一個正式場合的約會更感輕松。非正式約會的額外好處是，它鼓勵人們在開始浪漫的關系前，先建立起健康的友誼。這樣，年輕人可以更容易放松心情和了解對方。例如，我的室友和她的男友在他們來電之前做了四個月的普通朋友。他們經常與一群共同的朋友出去。他們輪流買單。“他就像任何其他的朋友一樣，”我的室友笑著說。另一位朋友認為，非正式約會能改善人們的社會生活，使他們周旋于更廣泛的社交圈。當她想要讓一個男人知道她對他很感興趣時，她會說：“嘿，我們去喝一杯酸奶吧”或“來一杯茶如何？” 可誰來買單？ 這可不如以前那么容易了，因為求愛的傳統(tǒng)規(guī)則正在發(fā)生重大變化。初步統(tǒng)計的數(shù)字也證明了這一點。眾多的青年男子說，在約會幾次后，女性應該幫著一同買單。幾乎相等百分比的女性要求自己買單，哪怕是第一次約會。但巨大的困惑仍然存在，新規(guī)則還有待澄清。我自己過去的約會教會了我一些東西。“各付各的” 或是讓我的約會對象買單可以說都是絕對的挑戰(zhàn)。有一個約會對象在我們第一次約會時，還沒等我提出相左的建議，就掏出了錢包。在晚餐后散步時，他告訴我他想跟我談戀愛。當我解釋我對做朋友更感興趣時，他似乎感到不快。他解釋說，因為我接受了他請我吃晚餐，所以他認為我會跟他戀愛。他似乎對請我吃飯一事很生自己的氣，而我也很后悔讓他這么做。另一個約會對象，在我急忙打開錢包掏出錢，并提出各付各的時，他皺起了眉頭。我客氣地問道：“我欠你多少錢？” 他說：“嗯，嗯，你真的不欠我什么，但如果你堅持……” 他顯得極為尷尬。對他而言，我要付錢的行動已傳達了他被拒絕的信息。在試圖搞清約會的新規(guī)則時，每個人似乎都感到困惑。誰應請誰出去？ 誰應付錢？什么時候付？ 所以，雖然我認為穿著正式地去一個傳統(tǒng)、正式的約會是一種樂趣，但我還是樂意去非正式的約會，因為它給我的社交生活帶來了有價值的一面。因為是非正式約會，壓力較小，且更平等。我可以送別人玫瑰，別人也可以送我！非正式約會值得去做，因為它管用。所以，我在這里等待著。沒有神奇的方案可以確保他會說“好的”。我得放松，做我自己，并用一種沒有廢話的方式邀請他出去。他終于到了。在悄悄地溜到他的書桌時，他拍拍我的肩膀，說：“嗨，早上好啊！” “早上好，”我謹慎地回答。因為緊張，我的心緊揪著，可是我征服了恐懼，問道：“嘿，這個周五下課后一起吃午餐，怎么樣？” “你的意思是期中考試后嗎？”他用難以掩飾的熱情說：“我很愿意和你一起吃午餐。” 我很激動，笑得很開心，并跟他確認：“那，我們就定了那天啦！” “好，就那樣！”他興高采烈地回答。
