第四篇：英語翻譯答案

第一單元

1.那位教授很可能在他唯一的學生缺席的情況下對著空空的教室講了一課。The professor might probably have delivered his lecture to the empty classroom in the absence of his solitary student.2.現行的教育體制遭到了公眾的批評，公眾已經開始意識到這種體制給學生帶來的危害。The present educational system has been under attack from the public, who have begun to realize the harm the system has done to students.3.老師告訴這些大四學生他每次都會點名，因為這門課是必須要聽的。The professor told those seniors that he would take attendance every time because attendance at this course was compulsory.4.我真想參加你的喬遷聚會。但是很抱歉我無法去, 因為我有一大堆事情要做。

I was disappointed at the impersonality of the lecture system, but eventually I grew resigned to the system and waited patiently to become a junior.8.我們不得不承認講座體制會把教師和學生天真的問題隔絕開來，而這些問題很可能會引 起學生很多有用的想法。

We have to admit that the lecture system insulates a teacher from students’ naive questions, which could have triggered a line of useful thought.9.我不同意那些評論家的意見。你得出的結論絕不是沒有價值的。對我而言，這些結論很 有道理。

I don’t agree with those critics’ opinions.Your conclusions are far from worthless;they make a good deal of sense to me.10.為了學生本身的緣故，應該在第一節課就告訴他們這門課的目的，內容以及要通過這門 課的要求。

the sake of the students, they should be told on the first class about the objective and For content of the course and the requirements to pass the course.課文翻譯 One problem with lectures is that listening intelligently is hard work.Reading the same material in a textbook is a more efficient way to learn because students can proceed as slowly as they need to until the subject matter becomes clear to them.聽講課存在的一個問題是：會聽是很難的事。閱讀課本中的相同內容是更有效的學習方法，因為學生可以根據其需要慢慢閱讀直到他們理解這些內容。Even simply paying attention is very difficult;people can listen at a rate of four hundred to six hundred words a minute, while the most impassioned professor talks at scarcely a third of that speed.This time lag between speech and comprehension leads to daydreaming.有時甚至僅僅做到專心 聽講都很難。人們可以以每分鐘 400-600 個字的速度聽，而最富有激情的教授說話的速度也 很難達到這個速度的 1/3。講話和理解之間的時間差導致開小差 Many students believe years of watching television have sabotaged their attention span, but their real problem is that listening attentively is much harder than they think.很多學生認為多年來看電 視已經削弱了他們保持注意力的能力。但是他們真正的問題是專心聽課比他們認為的要難得 多。Lectures will never entirely disappear from the university scene both because they seem to be economically necessary and because they spring from a long tradition in a setting that values tradition for its own sake.But the lectures too frequently come at the wrong end of the students’ educational careers — during the first two years, when they most need close, even individual, instruction.講課這一方式不會完全從大學消失。一是因為講課似乎從經濟上是必需的，二是講課起源于 悠久的傳統，而且人們又把傳統本身看得很重。但是，講課通常出現在學生接受教育生涯的 錯誤的那一端——在大學的第一和第二年，那時他們最需要密切的、甚至是針對個體需要的 指導。If lecture classes were restricted to juniors and seniors, who are less in need of scholarly nurturing and more able to prepare work on their own, they would be far less destructive of students’ interests and enthusiasms than the present system.After all, students must learn to listen before they can listen to learn.如果講課這一形式局限于三、四年級的學生，則對學生的興趣和熱情的破壞 力會比目前的制度小得多，因為三、四年級的學生不太需要學科上的指導與幫助，而且更有 能力自己制定學習計劃。畢竟，學生在能夠從聽講課中學到知識之前必須先要學會去聽。

課文翻譯 One of these reasons is that each life-form occupies a special place within its ecosystem — that is, its community of plant and animal life, in combination with the nonliving components of its environment such as the climate, soil, water, and air.理由之一是, 每個物種在它所處的由所有 動植物和無生命的氣候、土壤、水和空氣等組成的生態系統中都占有一個特殊的地位。For instance, within a forest the larger trees drop off little twigs and debris, making a layer that holds water in the soil for other plants to use.The roots hold the soil and prevent it from washing away in rainstorms.例如, 在森林中，較高的樹掉下的殘枝在土壤中形成一個水份保持層，供 其它植物利用。它們的根可以固定土壤，防止土壤被暴雨沖走。Whether living or dead, the tree provides shelter for animals and birds and food for insects.As the dead tree rots away, it enriches the soil of the forest floor, enabling other plants to spring up in its place.無論是活樹還是枯樹都可以為動物和鳥提供棲息地，為昆蟲提供食物。枯樹腐爛以后 還可以肥沃森林的土壤，得以使其它植物從原處拔地而出。Such large trees are an example of what we call keystone species;if they disappeared from their ecosystem, the consequences would be felt throughout the community of other species living in the forest.―The loss of a keystone species is like a drill accidentally striking a powerline,‖ says biologist Edward Wilson of Harvard University.―It causes lights to go out all over.‖ 這樣的大樹就 是我們所說的主要物種;如果它們從生態系統中消失,其后果會遍及所有居住在森林的其它物 種。哈佛大學的生物學家愛德華· 威爾遜說：―一個主要物種的消失就像鉆頭意外地鉆斷電線，導致四處斷電。‖ During the current sixth great extinction, three species of life-forms are dying out every hour, or 74 per day, which equals 27,000 each year.Some of these — and we don’t even know which ones — are undoubtedly keystone species.在當前第六次―大滅絕‖時期, 每小時平均有三個物種滅絕，也就是每天有 74 個物種滅絕, 每年合計達 27,000 個。其中有些物種——雖然我們不確定是 哪些——毫無疑問是主要物種。

第五篇：英語翻譯答案

我認為，選修第二專業并不適合每一位本科生。我大學本科主修英語專業，大一時就開始輔修經濟學了。無疑，我是班里最用功的學生。我竭盡全力想同時達到兩個不同專業的要求，但還是有不及格的時候。因為經濟學需要良好的數學基礎，我不得不花大量時間鉆研數學，因而忽略了英語學習。If you ask me, taking a second major isn’t good for every undergraduate.In my freshman year as an English major, I took economics as my minor.By all odds, I was the most hard-working student in my class.But try as I might to meet the requirements of the two different subjects, I still couldn’t do well enough to pass all the exams.Given that the study of economics required a good command of mathematics, I had to spend so much time on math that I neglected my English.第二學期,《英國文學》及《宏觀經濟學》兩門課不及格給我敲響了警鐘，這可是我一生中第一次考試不及格，這大大打擊了我的自信心。雖然我不是一個容易向命運低頭的人，在暑假結束的時候，我還是決定放棄經濟學，以免兩個專業都難以完成。當我只需修一個專業的時候，一切似乎又回到了正軌。Failing English Literature and Macroeconomics in the second term sounded the alarm for me.This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my confidence.Although I was not a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up economics for fear that I would fail both subjects.Now that I had only one subject to attend to, everything seemed to be on the right track again.張磊是在畢業工作后才開始意識到讀書的樂趣的。反思自己的大學教育時，他感慨不已：他的一些同學都沉浸于從圖書館或書店找到的各種有趣的書籍，而他卻只讀了一些教科書，其中連一本真正值得一讀、讓他愛不釋手的書都沒有。他可以說是被剝奪了通過書了解作家奇妙世界的特權。如今，他嗜書如命，廢寢忘食，好像要把大學期間沒機會讀的好書全都讀一遍。到目前為止他已經利用業余時間讀了幾百本小說、傳記和游記。他意識到書不僅能向他展示一個充滿希望的前景，幫他消除現實生活中的壓力和疲勞，而且能夠幫他澄清一些誤解，找到生活的真諦。It was not until after he had graduated from university and started to work that Zhang Lei became aware of the pleasure of reading.Reflecting on his undergraduate studies, he lamented that he, unlike some of his classmateswho had immersed themselves in various interesting books they were able to lay hands on from the library or bookshops, had only read textbooks, none of which was really worthwhile, or could be read in one sitting.He was deprived of the privilege of gaining access to the writers’ fantastic worlds through the windows their books have opened, so to speak.Now he has become an avid and omnivorous reader.It is as if he wants to read all those marvellous books he hadn’t had a chance to read in his university days.By now, in his spare time, he has read several hundreds of books, including novels, biographies and travel notes.He realizes that books can not only reveal to him the vista of a hopeful future and help him withstand stresses and strains, they can also help him clear up some misconceptions and discover the true meaning of life.談及目前經濟蕭條所帶來的影響，學生活動的減少就是一個很好的例證。為了活躍校園生活，大學愿意劃撥一部分資金來資助學生社團活動，但由于今年學校的預算大幅減少，對社團的資助也相應縮減了不少。顯然，學生社團要恢復以前的活力就必須想辦法克服自身的經濟困難。有人主張招募更多會員，因為會員費的增加可以幫助他們度過難關。When it comes to the effects of the current economic downturn, the decrease of student activities is a good case in point.To enliven campus life, the university is always willing to carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies, but such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget cut.Apparently, student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to recover from their current state of inactiveness.Some suggest enrolling more club members, on the ground that the consequent increase of membership fees may help them get out of the difficulty.當然，如果有更多的會員交年費，而且縮減一些日常開支，我們還是能省下一些錢來組織活動的。但是，問題的關鍵在于社團活動的費用與參加活動的人數是成正比的，因此這種方法恐怕不太可行。要推進社團活動，同時又不使經費超支，我們必須群策群力，拿出別的籌錢方法，而不是僅僅依賴學校撥款和會員費。

No doubt, if we have more members paying the annual fee, and if we cut back on our daily expenses, we can spare some money to organize activities.But the bottom line is that the expenses of these activities are in proportion to the number of participants.I’m afraid this won’t be of much help.To boost student activities and to avoid going into the red, we still need to pool our ideas and come up with some other ways of raising money, in lieu of just relying on university grants and membership fees.我們對理想丈夫或理想妻子的假設顯示出我們的性別期待以及我們對性別期待的反應。如果大多數年輕姑娘希望她們的未婚夫強悍、能干、可靠，那么小伙子們也就別無選擇，只能把自己訓練得強悍、能干、可靠，這樣才能贏得女孩子的芳心。如果他們的做法與性別期待背道而馳，那么他們很可能會在悲嘆自己的光棍生涯中度過下半輩子。根據同樣的不成文法則，如果多數年輕男子希望他們的未婚妻溫柔體貼、耐心、忠貞，認為這些比什么都重要，那么姑娘即便不是這種人，也會假裝自己將來會成為賢妻良母。Our presumptions about what ideal husbands or wives are like reveal a lot about our gender expectations as well as our responses to them.If most girls want their fiancés to be tough, capable and reliable, there is no option left for young men other than to be trained as tough, capable and reliable if they want to win girls’ heart.If they act to the contrary, they will most probably bemoan their bachelor’s status for the rest of their lives.Following the same unwritten rule, if most boys expect their fiancées to be caring, patient and faithful more than anything else, girls are prone to let on that they will become faithful wives and loving mothers even if they are not the type.深入研究一下這種性別期待，我們就會發現這是受生理和社會因素制約的。無疑，女性為孕育嬰兒做好了生理準備，而男人則完全不適合這項工作。男人只有努力掙錢養家，才能讓一家人過上好日子。Looking into such gender expectations, we may find that they are based on both physiological and social factors.It goes without saying that women are physically prepared to bear children, whereas men are utterly unfit for the job.Therefore, a family is better off when its male members devote their time to providing food and other necessities for it.為保證校園的安全，校方最近發布了一項新的規定，禁止小商販進入校園。校長呼吁學生在這件事上與學校合作。學生們表示強烈反對，幾百名學生在學校的BBS上表達了他們的憤怒。他們說，因為校園離市中心很遠，校內商店里的貨品又不多，把小販趕出校園就無異于把學生扔到孤島上。有些人提出，正是在這樣的事情上，學校應該聽取學生的意見和需求。有些學生認為，這項規定能讓校園更安全的想法是錯誤的.To make the campus safer, the university authorities recently released a new regulation that forbids any vendors from entering the campus, and the president called on the students to cooperate with the university on this matter.But the students’ opposition was strong, and hundreds of them expressed their anger on the university BBS.They said that to keep vendors off campus was like deserting students on an isolated island, as the university was far away from the downtown and the shops on the campus did not provide enough commodities.Some claimed that it was precisely for matters of this kind that the university should listen to students’ opinions and needs.Some students thought the university had got it wrong in believing that this regulation will ensure safety on campus.學生的反應讓校長感到震驚，為彌補過失，他宣布學校將重新考慮這項規定。他對學生說，他們完全有權力過上方便、舒適的生活，但校園的安全也同樣重要。他還提議在校園里建一個大超市，在宿舍樓附近開一些便利店(convenience store)，這樣就能大大方便學生們的生活。Shocked by students’ reaction, the president tried to make amends for this mistake by announcing that the university will look into this new regulation again.He told students that they were entitled to live a convenient and comfortable life, but safety was just as much an important concern as that.He proposed to build a big supermarket within the campus and some convenience stores near dormitory buildings, which would certainly make students’ life much easier.在畢業典禮上，一家知名IT公司的經驗豐富的CTO托馬斯?克拉克給140名渴望在IT行業干出一番事業的計算機科學專業的學生提出了一些重要建議。在他看來，信息技術不僅僅是組裝機器和裝置。在這個領域，創新起著關鍵的作用。所以IT工作者自然要承受巨大的壓力，因為他們每天都要想出一些新點子。In the graduation ceremony, Thomas Clark, a veteran CTO of a renowned IT company, offers some important advice to 140 computer science majors who aspire to pursue a successful career in IT.In his opinion, information technology is not just about assembling machines and devices;it is a domain where innovation plays the key role.So naturally IT workers have to endure great pressure in their work as they need to come up with new ideas on a daily basis.但是克拉克也指出，IT行業的最終目標是利潤。如果你想在這個領域獲得成功，你應該牢記創新并不等同于個人主義。值得注意的是，很多有天賦的年輕人由于狂妄自大，交流能力差，沒能發揮他們的潛力，因此沒有取得成功。克拉克強調說，你必須學會和不同部門的人合作，這樣你才能創造出能被市場接受的產品，你的才華才能綻放。But Clark also points out that the ultimate goal of IT business is profit.If you want to succeed in this business, you need to keep in mind that innovation is not synonymous with individualism.It is noticeable that because of arrogance and poor communication skills many gifted young men didn’t realize their potential, thus failed to achieve success.Clark emphasizes that you must learn to cooperate with people from different departments, and only thus can your talent blossom by creating products that will be accepted by the market.20年來，一直有人認為簡體字是激進的漢語改革的產物，不能保留傳統文化的精華。在他們看來，那么多中國人讀不懂繁體字是一件可恥的事情。有些人甚至認為簡體字是一個有缺陷的語言系統，用簡體字使中國人變笨了，中華文明已經到了緊要關頭，必須用繁體字才能拯救我們的民族文化。但是這些提倡恢復繁體字的人并不能提出足夠的理由來支持他們的觀點。他們還忘記了重要的一點：繁體字太復雜，在中國古代，這在受過良好教育和沒受過教育的人之間造成了巨大的鴻溝，而簡體字則讓上億的中國人識了字，并在一定程度上模糊了受過教育的精英和普通大眾之間的界限。如果我們重新啟用繁體字,可能會侵害到大多數人受教育的權利，破壞中國社會的團結。In the last couple of decades, there have always been people who believe that simplified characters are a product of the radical reform of Chinese language, and fail to retain the essence of our traditional culture.From their point of view, it’s disgraceful that so many Chinese cannot read traditional characters.Some even argue that simplified characters are a defective system of language and using them makes Chinese people dumb, and that our civilization has reached a critical stage where we have to go back to traditional Chinese characters to save our national culture.But those in favour of traditional characters are unable to provide sufficient evidence for their assertions.They also forget an important point: In ancient China the complexity of traditional characters created a rift between the educated and the uneducated, while the simplified characters had helped hundreds of millions of people become literate, and to a certain extent blurred the boundaries between the educated elite and the ordinary public.If we went back to traditional characters, it would be very likely to infringe on the majority’s right to education and damage the unity of Chinese society.
