第一篇:21世紀大學英語第三冊reading aloud 翻譯
Unit 1
A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies.Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?
I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus.On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion.I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.上學的孩子們中間有一種普遍的錯誤想法,即認為他們的老師當年都是些神童。不管怎么說,除了不像一般孩子那樣生性貪玩、不愿學習的書呆子之外,還有誰愿意長大后當老師呢?
我極力向我的學生們解釋,我在他們心目中的形象—一個在青春期熱衷于書本和作業的人—有一點被扭曲了。相反,我極為痛恨義務教育。我永遠都無法接受在魚兒上鉤時不得不去上學的想法。Unit 2
Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence.They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience.Consequently, they are defenseless(incapable of fending for themselves)and blameless(incapable of real sin).That's why we grant them special protection.In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands.And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.孩子們之所以有權享受特殊照顧有兩個理由:無助和無辜。他們還沒有具備推理的能力或來自經驗的智慧。因此,他們不能自衛(不能照料自己),無可指責(不可能真正犯罪)。這就是我們給予他們特殊保護的原因。在緊急情況下,我們有責任先救他們,因為孤弱無助的他們已將生命交付于我們手中。在戰時,他們應該受到特殊豁免權的保護,因為他們不可能會威脅或冒犯到任何人。
Unit 3
I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel.If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.Once the emotions have been aroused — a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love — then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response.Once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information.It is more important to pave the way for children's desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.我真誠地相信,對于孩子們來說,對于想要指導他們的父母們來說,感受比知道要重要得多。如果事實是以后能長出知識與智慧的種子,那么情感和感官印象則是種子必須賴以生長的沃土。幼兒時期就是培育土壤的時候。一旦情感被激起—一種對美的感受,對新的和未知事物的激動,一種同情、憐憫、羨慕或愛戀的感覺—我們就會渴望了解引起我們情感反應的事物。一旦找到,這種知識就比純粹的信息具有持久得多的意義。為孩子們的求知欲鋪平道路比向他們灌輸一堆他們尚難吸收的事實更為重要。
Unit 4
What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future.I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step.I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.1
My wish, of course, is naive.One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail.Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media — the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive — and glorified in our praise of possessions.In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.我希望于所有學生的是從未來的嚴酷無情中得到一些解脫。我希望他們有機會把他們每一階段的教育純粹作為一種經歷來享受,而不是作為一種為下一步作準備的令人厭倦的需要。我希望他們有權利試驗、跌跤,并懂得失敗如同勝利一樣具有教育意義,失敗并不是世界的末日。當然,我的希望是天真的。在美國人不贊揚的為數不多的權利之中,有一個便是失敗的權利。成就是民族之神,它在我們的媒體中受到崇拜—身價百萬的運動員,富有的主管人員—在我們對財富的贊美中得到榮耀。年輕人就是在這樣一種強有力的國教熏陶下長大的。
Unit 5
America can be a strange experience for a foreigner.My wife and I arrived in the United States in January after seven years overseas — four in France, three in Poland.From the jumble of first impressions, we compiled an A-to-Z explanation of why America can be such a foreign country to those who arrive here from Europe.I should explain at the outset that I am from Britain, but my Florida-born wife Lisa is as American as apple pie.In our list, however, A doesn't stand for apple pie.It stands for:
Ambition.In the Old World, people are taught to hide it.Here it's quite proper to announce that you're after the boss's job or want to make a million dollars by the age of 30.關于美國的基礎知識:歐洲人眼里的美國邁克爾多布斯對一個外國人來說,身在美國可能是一種奇特的經歷。在國外呆了7年以后—4年在法國,3年在波蘭,我和妻子于一月份到達了美國。從雜亂的初步印象中,我們編了一套從A到Z的解釋,來說明為什么對那些從歐洲來到這里的人來說,美國會是這樣陌生的一個國家。
我應該一開始就說明我是英國人,但在佛羅里達出生的我的妻子莉薩卻是如蘋果餡餅一般地道的美國人。不過,在我們列出的清單中,A并不代表蘋果餡餅。它代表的是:
雄心(Ambition)。在舊大陸歐洲,人們受的教育是對自己的雄心藏而不露。在這兒,宣稱你在追求老板的職位或者想在30歲以前賺上100萬美元,并沒有什么不合適。
Unit 6
Every 23 minutes
A heart breaks.Someone's pain shatters the confines of her body, leaking out in tears, exploding in cries, defying all efforts to soothe the despair.Sleep offers no escape from the nightmare of awakening.And morning brings only the irreversibility of loss.Every 23 minutes.A dream ends.Someone's future blurs and goes blank as anticipation fades into nothingness.The phone will not ring, the car will not pull up to the house.The weight of tomorrow becomes unbearable in a world in which all promises have been broken by force.每23分鐘。一顆心破碎了。某人的痛苦沖破其軀體的束縛,化作眼淚流出,隨著哭聲迸發,反抗著一切撫慰其絕望心情的努力。睡眠無法使其逃脫醒來時的噩夢。清晨帶來的只是無法挽回的損失。每23分鐘。一個夢想結束。當期望化為烏有時,某個人的未來變得渺茫,成為空白。電話不會再響,汽車不會再停在房前。在一個所有的諾言都被暴力打破的世界里,明日之重變得讓人無法承受。
Unit 7
Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style.It used to be a mark of class if a
lady or a gentleman sang a little, painted a little, played the violin a little.You didn't have to be good at it;the point was to be fortunate enough to have the leisure time for such pursuits.But in today's competitive world we have to be “experts” even in our hobbies.遺憾的是,“三腳貓”已經過時了。過去如果一位女士或先生會唱一點,畫一點,拉一點小提琴,那就是一種社會等級的標志。你不必很出色;關鍵是要有幸擁有這一份閑情逸致。但是在今天這個充滿競爭的世界里我們甚至在業余愛好方面也必須是“專家”才行。

第四篇:大學英語第三冊課文翻譯unit9
希特勒之死
四月二十九日下午,消息傳到了阿爾道夫.希特勒和愛娃.勃勞恩所在的地堡里。希特勒的侵略的伙伴法西斯獨裁者墨索里尼已經死了,連同他的情婦克拉拉.貝塔西和他在一起。
墨索里尼和他的情婦是在四月二十七日正企圖逃往瑞士時被意大利的游擊隊抓獲的。經過簡短的審訊后就被處決了。四月二十八日的那個星期六的晚上,一輛卡車把他們的尸體運來米蘭后就想倒垃圾一樣,將其扔在市鎮上第二天兩具尸體被繩綁著倒掛在街燈柱上示眾。后來,“五一”那天,本托尼.墨索里尼和他的情婦被埋在米蘭公墓的給不名一文的人用的墳場里。墨索里尼與法西斯主義就這樣可恥的成為歷史。
不知道元首聽說了多少墨索里尼的可恥下場的詳細情況。人們只能猜測,如果他聽到許多細節的話,那只會更加堅定他的決心:絕不能讓他自己和他的新娘當眾出丑-----不論生前還是死后。
希特勒得知墨索里尼已經死亡之后不久就開始為自己做準備,他將他喜愛的阿爾薩斯狼犬毒死,將家中的另兩條狗擊斃。然后他把還在身邊的兩名女秘書叫來,給了她們毒藥膠囊,如果想服毒的話,以備在節節逼近的俄國人打進來時服用。他說道抱歉,不能給他們更好的告別禮品。他還對她們長期忠心耿耿的工作表示感謝。
夜晚已經降臨,這是阿爾道夫.希特勒最后的一個夜晚。他指示他的一位秘書榮格夫人將他檔案里的剩余文件全部毀掉,并下令:在未得到下一步命令之前,地堡里的任何人都不得上床睡覺。這被大家理解為希特勒與大家訣別的時刻到了。但據幾個證人回憶,直到午夜過后很久,大約是在四月三十日凌晨亮點三十分左右,元首才從他的房間里走出來,出現在過道上。大約有二十幾人,大部分是他的手下女性已經聚集在那里了。他走過去一一與她們握手,嘴里嘟囔著什么。他的眼睛里充滿了淚水。榮格夫人回憶道:“她的眼睛好像穿過地堡的墻壁,望著遠方。”
在他離開了之后發生了一件怪事。地保里不斷加劇的令人幾乎難以忍受的極度緊張的氣氛突然被打破了。于是有好幾個人到餐廳去-----跳起舞來。這種不可思議的舞會很快就變得嘈雜不已,以至于元首發話,讓大家安靜一些。俄國人可能會在幾小時之內打進來,把它們全部殺死-----盡管他們大部分都在盤算如何逃命-----但此時此刻,既然元首對他們的生活的嚴格控制已經結束,他們便要想方設法尋歡作樂,哪怕是短暫的片刻。看來這些人是如釋重負,所以他們才翩翩起舞,一直到很晚。
柏林的防守已經垮了。俄國人幾乎占領了整個城市。眼前的問題僅僅只是如何保衛總理府了。正如希特勒和鮑曼在四月三十日中午召開的最后一次軍事形勢分析會上所獲悉的那樣,總理府也注定是要被俄國人攻占的。俄國人距離總理府只有一個街區了。阿爾道夫.希特勒實施其決定的時刻到了。
那天,他的新娘明顯沒有胃口,沒進午餐。希特勒與兩位秘書以及那位素食廚師一道進餐。他的廚師大概沒有想到這是他為希特勒準備的最后一餐。大約在下午兩點三十分,他們在吃午餐時,元首的司機,負責總理府車庫的埃里西.肯普卡接到命令,要他立即將兩百公升汽油裝入油罐送到總理府花園。肯普卡很難收集到那么多汽油,但他還是設法收集到一百八十升。在三名士兵的幫助下。肯普卡將油罐送到了他的地堡的緊急出口處。
在肯普卡收集火葬用得起有的時候,希特勒吃完了最后一餐,并同愛娃.勃勞恩再一次向她最密切的合作者作最后的告別。他們是:戈培爾博士,克萊伯斯將軍,布格道夫將軍,秘書以及廚師曼齊阿里小姐。
告別后,希特勒和他的新娘回到了他們自己的房間。戈培爾博士,鮑曼以及其他幾個人在外面過道上等待著。過一會兒,聽見一聲左輪槍響。他們等待著第二聲槍響,但只有一片寂靜。等了片刻,他們才輕輕地走進元首的房間。只見淌著鮮血的阿爾道夫.希特勒的尸體伸著四肢倒在沙發上。他是開槍自殺的。在他的尸體旁躺著愛娃.勃勞恩的尸體。兩只左輪手槍掉在地板上,但他的新娘沒有用槍,她吞毒藥。
那是一九四五年四月三十日星期一下午三點十分,是他五十六歲生日后的第十天,而正好是他當上德國總理以及成立第三帝國后的第十二年零三個月的日子。僅僅一個星期后,他的第三帝國也就隨之滅亡了
