第四篇：英語(yǔ)翻譯(大二下)

翻譯：

Unit

1我認(rèn)為，選修第二專業(yè)并不適合每一位本科生。我大學(xué)本科主修英語(yǔ)專業(yè)，大一時(shí)就開始輔修經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)了。無(wú)疑，我是班里最用功的學(xué)生。我竭盡全力想同時(shí)達(dá)到兩個(gè)不同專業(yè)的要求，但還是有不及格的時(shí)候。因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)需要良好的數(shù)學(xué)基礎(chǔ)，我不得不花大量時(shí)間鉆研數(shù)學(xué)，因而忽略了英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)。(if you ask me;by all odds;try as … might;given that)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(xué)期,《英國(guó)文學(xué)》及《宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)》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(gè)容易向命運(yùn)低頭的人，在暑假結(jié)束的時(shí)候，我還是決定放棄經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)，以免兩個(gè)專業(yè)都難以完成。當(dāng)我只需修一個(gè)專業(yè)的時(shí)候，一切似乎又回到了正軌。(sap one’s confidence;bow to fate;come to a close;for fear that;now that)

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.Unit

2張磊是在畢業(yè)工作后才開始意識(shí)到讀書的樂(lè)趣的。反思自己的大學(xué)教育時(shí)，他感慨不已：他的一些同學(xué)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(shuō)是被剝奪了通過(guò)書了解作家奇妙世界的特權(quán)。

如今，他嗜書如命，廢寢忘食，好像要把大學(xué)期間沒機(jī)會(huì)讀的好書全都讀一遍。到目前為止他已經(jīng)利用業(yè)余時(shí)間讀了幾百本小說(shuō)、傳記和游記。他意識(shí)到書不僅能向他展示一個(gè)充滿希望的前景，幫他消除現(xiàn)實(shí)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。(reflect on;immerse in;lay hands on;worthwhile;in one sitting;so to speak;vista;withstand)

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 classmates who 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.Unit

3一個(gè)人的穿著似乎能影響他的行為方式。譬如，在校內(nèi)要穿校服是中小學(xué)生所必須嚴(yán)格遵守的規(guī)矩之一。倘若在學(xué)生著裝整齊劃一和行為的統(tǒng)一規(guī)范之間不存在一種象征性關(guān)聯(lián)的話，校服便不可能如此盛行。(hard and fast;there is no doubt that;currency;correlation)

What you wear seems to dictate your behaviour.Take primary school and high school students for example.One of the hard and fast rules they have to observe is that they must wear uniforms at school.There is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and the students’ conformity to some common code of conduct.然而，多年的學(xué)校生活讓學(xué)生在內(nèi)心里對(duì)隨處可見的校服產(chǎn)生了抵觸情緒，校服畢竟壓制了個(gè)性的表達(dá)。為了彌補(bǔ)這種損失，學(xué)生常常會(huì)在周末穿流行的休閑裝。直到上了大學(xué)，他們才會(huì)享受真正的著裝自由，而服裝上的無(wú)序與大學(xué)培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力、鼓勵(lì)自由表達(dá)思想及展露才華密切相關(guān)。可惜這樣的好景不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)，經(jīng)過(guò)一段相對(duì)短暫的自由之后，他們?cè)诋厴I(yè)工作之后將再次經(jīng)歷著裝規(guī)范的壓力。(backlash;ubiquitous;compensate for;anarchy;obtain;revive)

However, after years of school life, there is always a backlash secretly nursed in the students’ mind against the ubiquitous uniform which suppresses the

expression of individuality.To compensate for this loss, students usually wear more casual and popular clothes on weekends.It is not until they start university, however, that they can really enjoy the freedom of dress, an anarchy associated with

the cultivation of creativity and the encouragement of free expression of ideas and talents.But this situation won’t obtain for long.After a relatively short time of liberty, they may experience again the revived pressure of dress code as soon as they become professionals.Unit

4談及目前經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條所帶來(lái)的影響，學(xué)生活動(dòng)的減少就是一個(gè)很好的例證。為了活躍校園生活，大學(xué)愿意劃撥一部分資金來(lái)資助學(xué)生社團(tuán)活動(dòng)，但由于今年學(xué)校的預(yù)算大幅減少，對(duì)社團(tuán)的資助也相應(yīng)縮減了不少。顯然，學(xué)生社團(tuán)要恢復(fù)以前的活力就必須想辦法克服自身的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難。有人主張招募更多會(huì)員，因?yàn)闀?huì)員費(fèi)的增加可以幫助他們度過(guò)難關(guān)。(when it comes to;carve out;pare down)

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(dāng)然，如果有更多的會(huì)員交年費(fèi)，而且縮減一些日常開支，我們還是能省下一些錢來(lái)組織活動(dòng)的。但是，問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵在于社團(tuán)活動(dòng)的費(fèi)用與參加活動(dòng)的人數(shù)是成正比的，因此這種方法恐怕不太可行。要推進(jìn)社團(tuán)活動(dòng)，同時(shí)又不使經(jīng)費(fèi)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(xué)校撥款和會(huì)員費(fèi)。(cut back on;bottom line;go into the red;pool;in lieu of)

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.Unit

5我們對(duì)理想丈夫或理想妻子的假設(shè)顯示出我們的性別期待以及我們對(duì)性別期待的反應(yīng)。如果大多數(shù)年輕姑娘希望她們的未婚夫強(qiáng)悍、能干、可靠，那么小伙子們也就別無(wú)選擇，只能把自己訓(xùn)練得強(qiáng)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(huì)在悲嘆自己的光棍生涯中度過(guò)下半輩子。根據(jù)同樣的不成文法則，如果多數(shù)年輕男子希望他們的未婚妻溫柔體貼、耐心、忠貞，認(rèn)為這些比什么都重要，那么姑娘即便不是這種人，也會(huì)假裝自己將來(lái)會(huì)成為賢妻良母。(presumption;option;other than;bemoan;unwritten rule;to be prone to;let on)

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(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這是受生理和社會(huì)因素制約的。無(wú)疑，女性為孕育嬰兒做好了生理準(zhǔn)備，而男人則完全不適合這項(xiàng)工作。男人只有努力掙錢養(yǎng)家，才能讓一家人過(guò)上好日子。(goes without saying)

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.Unit 6

為保證校園的安全，校方最近發(fā)布了一項(xiàng)新的規(guī)定，禁止小商販進(jìn)入校園。校長(zhǎng)呼吁學(xué)生在這件事上與學(xué)校合作。學(xué)生們表示強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，幾百名學(xué)生在學(xué)校的BBS上表達(dá)了他們的憤怒。他們說(shuō)，因?yàn)樾@離市中心很遠(yuǎn)，校內(nèi)商店里的貨品又不多，把小販趕出校園就無(wú)異于把學(xué)生扔到孤島上。有些人提出，正是在這樣的事情上，學(xué)校應(yīng)該聽取學(xué)生的意見和需求。有些學(xué)生認(rèn)為，這項(xiàng)規(guī)定能讓校園更安全的想法是錯(cuò)誤的。(it’s for matters of this kind;get sth.wrong)

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(xué)生的反應(yīng)讓校長(zhǎng)感到震驚，為彌補(bǔ)過(guò)失，他宣布學(xué)校將重新考慮這項(xiàng)規(guī)定。他對(duì)學(xué)生說(shuō)，他們完全有權(quán)力過(guò)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(gè)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(xué)生們的生活。(make amends;be entitled to)

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.Unit 7

在畢業(yè)典禮上，一家知名IT公司的經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的CTO托馬斯?克拉克給140名渴望在IT行業(yè)干出一番事業(yè)的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)生提出了一些重要建議。在他看來(lái)，信息技術(shù)不僅僅是組裝機(jī)器和裝置。在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域，創(chuàng)新起著關(guān)鍵的作用。所以IT工作者自然要承受巨大的壓力，因?yàn)樗麄兠刻於家氤鲆恍┬曼c(diǎn)子。(aspire to;assemble;domain;on a daily basis)

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(yè)的最終目標(biāo)是利潤(rùn)。如果你想在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域獲得成功，你應(yīng)該牢記創(chuàng)新并不等同于個(gè)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(fā)揮他們的潛力，因此沒有取得成功。克拉克強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)，你必須學(xué)會(huì)和不同部門的人合作，這樣你才能創(chuàng)造出能被市場(chǎng)接受的產(chǎn)品，你的才華才能綻放。(ultimate;synonymous with;blossom)

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.Unit 8

新的國(guó)家博物館建成之后，一些市民和建筑師對(duì)于在一群極其美麗精巧的古建筑中建造一座現(xiàn)代建筑感到憤怒。其高昂的維護(hù)費(fèi)用和古怪的形狀也引發(fā)了大量的批評(píng)。顯然，許多人對(duì)在這個(gè)古城中涌現(xiàn)的時(shí)髦的現(xiàn)代建筑感到不舒服。不過(guò)，也有不少藝術(shù)家和市民覺得這些批評(píng)沒有看到該建筑的美和藝術(shù)上的成熟。(indignant;exquisite;an outburst of;erect;do justice to)

When the new National Museum was completed, some citizens and architects were indignant at the appearance of a modern building amidst the most beautiful and exquisite ancient buildings of the city.There was also an outburst of criticism of its high cost of maintenance and its strange shape.Obviously, some people felt uncomfortable with such fashionable modern buildings being erected in the city.But on the other hand, many artists and citizens believed that these criticisms failed to do justice to the beauty and artistic maturity of the new museum.在一個(gè)公眾日益崇拜西方技術(shù)和風(fēng)格的時(shí)代里，這座建筑所引發(fā)的爭(zhēng)論促使許多人開始思考這座城市里古建筑的未來(lái)。古建筑復(fù)雜而奢華，大規(guī)模建造過(guò)于昂貴。而現(xiàn)代西方建筑常常很難跨越文化的障礙。或許應(yīng)該采取更為溫和的方式，事先制定一個(gè)總體的規(guī)劃，讓古建筑得到妥善保護(hù)，讓現(xiàn)代建筑成為這個(gè)城市和諧的一部分。(contemplate;worship;extravagance;transcend;moderate)

The debate caused by this museum forces many people to contemplate the future of those ancient buildings of the city in an age when the public increasingly worship the modern Western technology and styles.With their extravagance and complexity, it is costly to build ancient buildings on a large scale.At the same time, beautiful modern buildings of Western styles cannot always transcend the cultural barrier.Maybe a more moderate approach should be adopted.A careful overall plan should be made beforehand to ensure that the ancient buildings are properly preserved and the modern buildings become a harmonious part of the city.

第五篇：大二英語(yǔ)翻譯

Unit 1 許多科學(xué)家相信，已有證據(jù)表明外星人的確存在，而且他們正穿越茫茫太空將手伸向地球。這是友誼之手還是邪惡之手？我們還不得而知。

Many scientists believe that evidence tells them that extraterrestrial life exists and that an alien hand is reaching out to us across the void of space.Whether that hand is reaching out to us in friendship or for some sinister reasons, we cannot yet tell.If aliens are here, we must at least show them we know what is going on.The covert nature of aliens’ activities seems to be their main defense.Blow that wide open and perhaps we can force a dialogue which might be mutually advantageous.It is for this reason that government should take the issue seriously, investigate witnesses and announce the conclusions.Besides, government should draw up contingency plans, rules of engagement, as they do for every terrestrial warfare.Otherwise, if one day a UFO were to land on the White House lawn, people may find that there is no specific system which would be kicked into operation to deal with it.Unit 2 像任何一種野生動(dòng)物一樣，灰熊總能引起人們復(fù)雜的情感。人們既害怕它們，又敬畏它們。作者在文中淋漓盡致的表達(dá)了這種情感。灰熊是可怕的野獸。它具有龐大的軀體和驚人的速度，其速度是跑得最快的人的一倍半。灰熊似乎是有智慧和判斷能力的。聞到人的氣味，它可能會(huì)立刻停止活動(dòng)，而且不失尊嚴(yán)地離開而不是選擇進(jìn)攻。但是如果你開槍射擊，但又沒能擊中或使其受傷又不能夠致命灰熊將加倍報(bào)復(fù)。開槍卻僅僅使灰熊受傷比不開槍更糟糕。在作者看來(lái)，那些全副武裝進(jìn)入荒地，試圖圍捕灰熊的人愚蠢地低估了灰熊的能力，結(jié)果他們自己可能遭到灰熊的圍捕而喪命。

As much as any wild creature, the grizzly evokes complicated feelings.People fear and revere the grizzly.The author expresses the feelings of this kind thoroughly and vividly in the article.The grizzly is a formidable beast.He has an immense body and a surprising running speed which is half again as high as the fastest human being.The grizzly seems to have intelligence and judging ability.One touch of man scent would make the bear stop his activities in an instant and leave at a not undignified pace rather than attack.But if you shot and missed or the wound were not fatal, the grizzly would take a revenge several times more serious.To shoot and merely wound is worse than not to shoot at all.In the author’s eyes, those who enter the wilderness, fully armed with weapons in an attempt to stalk the grizzly, foolishly underestimate the power of the grizzly.The result may be that they are stalked and killed by the grizzly 在某種意義上，迷信已經(jīng)成為了文化的一部分。譬如，圣誕節(jié)在房間里掛一枝榭寄生，是迷信還是文化傳統(tǒng)呢？似乎很難確定。有些人宣稱他們不迷信，但是迷信還是他們生活的一部分。在整個(gè)16世紀(jì)和17世紀(jì)，迷信十分盛行，現(xiàn)在仍不乏迷信之人。無(wú)火不生煙，是什么使得迷信久盛不衰呢？是恐懼！四個(gè)世紀(jì)以前，世界對(duì)于人們來(lái)說(shuō)深?yuàn)W莫測(cè)而又富有不可理解的規(guī)則。生活是多災(zāi)多難的。無(wú)法控制的大火、流行的瘟疫、庒稼歉收及惡劣的生活環(huán)境無(wú)情的吞噬著人的生命。人類面對(duì)災(zāi)難無(wú)能為力。于是他們相信，某種超自然的力量在支配著人類的生死。這種信念就成了宗教和迷信滋生的土壤。

Unit 3

In a sense, superstition is a part of culture.It seems hard to tell, for example, whether hanging a sprig of mistletoe in the house at Christmas is a superstition or a cultural tradition.Some people claim not to be superstitious, but superstition is still a part of their lives.Superstition prevailed throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, and there are still superstitious people around.There is no smoke without fire.What is it that gives life to superstition? Fear!Four hundred years ago, the world was impenetrable and filled with incomprehensible rules to people.Life was hazardous.Uncontrollable fire, epidemic plague, bad harvest and bad living conditions killed people’s lives relentlessly.People were helpless in the face of disasters, so they believed that some supernatural power was holding sway over their life and death.This belief became the soil in which religion and superstition grew.Unit 4 特溫格博士做了一項(xiàng)研究，這一研究主要基于兩項(xiàng)分析，一是對(duì)170項(xiàng)研究的數(shù)據(jù)分析，涉及40192名美國(guó)大學(xué)生；一是就特質(zhì)性焦慮對(duì)99個(gè)樣本的分析來(lái)自1952至1993年間對(duì)12056名美國(guó)兒童的跟蹤研究。特質(zhì)性焦慮指普遍性的焦慮，而不是指對(duì)某一狀況產(chǎn)生的暫時(shí)性的情感反應(yīng)。特溫格博士強(qiáng)調(diào)，社會(huì)問(wèn)題和社會(huì)隔離的增加會(huì)產(chǎn)生真實(shí)的或預(yù)感的威脅，威脅身心健康，從而導(dǎo)致焦慮的增加。焦慮也警示社會(huì)必須要解決其他的健康和社會(huì)問(wèn)題，比如物質(zhì)浪費(fèi)和酗酒可能伴隨抑郁和焦慮而來(lái)。

Dr.Twenge made a research which is based on two major analyses of 170 studies involving 40,192 college students in the United States and 99 samples of 12,056 U.S.children undertaken between 1952 and 1993 that tracked trait anxiety.Trait anxiety refers to being generally anxious, rather than having a temporary emotional reaction to a situation.Dr.Twenge stresses that the increase of social problems and isolation can produce real or anticipated threats of physical and mental harm that contribute to this increase in anxiety.Anxiety also signals that society will have to cope with other health and social problems, such as substance and alcohol abuse which tend to follow depression and anxiety.Unit 5 在人類有限的生命中，要面對(duì)各種各樣疾病的侵?jǐn)_，特別是在今天，由于飽受生活現(xiàn)實(shí)的緊張和壓力，許多人已深深陷入疲憊之中，忘記了如何笑對(duì)人生。他們將生活視為一種負(fù)擔(dān)。那么我們要怎樣享受人生？什么樣的人最會(huì)享受人生？那些深思今日的福報(bào)，而非往昔的不幸的人將戰(zhàn)勝不悅。那些意識(shí)到危險(xiǎn)，但更承認(rèn)機(jī)會(huì)的人將維護(hù)尊嚴(yán)。那些懂得生命短暫的人不會(huì)害怕生命的終止或者某天會(huì)離世而去。正如一句名言所說(shuō)：生活比你所想的要簡(jiǎn)單得多，接受不可能的，將就不可缺少的，忍耐不可忍受的，這就是所有生活的必要守則。

In a person’s limited life, he is faced with numerous diseases.Particularly nowadays, weighed down with tension and pressure from the realities of life, a large number of people have plunged themselves into exhaustion and forgot how to smile.They regard life as a burden.How shall we enjoy life? Who can best enjoy life? Those who reflect on their present blessings, not on their past misfortunes, will prevail over unhappiness;those who are aware of the danger, but recognize the opportunity will preserve their dignity.Those who know life is brief will not fear that life shall come to an end or they will pass away someday.As an old saying goes, life is easier to take than you think;all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable and bear the intolerable.
