第三單元

vulnerable barrier

wander advertisement

statistics on the latch

pry put up

在美國每隔 15 秒鐘就有人舉報一起入室行竊案（burglary）。統計數據顯示去年竊賊（burglar）光顧了兩 百多萬戶人家。人們實際上幾乎無法將蓄意行竊的盜賊拒之門外，所能做的只是設法阻攔他片刻，從而使其暴露在 巡警（police patrol）或附近溜達的人們面前。常識告訴我們，光照是犯罪行為的障礙物。家門口必須安裝一盞燈，并在晚間開著。不管你是否相信，有些人，尤其是最晚進家的孩子，晚上進屋后不把門鎖上。空心門（door of hollow core），即便是鎖上了，也易遭賊侵入。因此最好選擇實心（solid core）門或鐵門，因為竊賊很難將它們撬開。如果你有意購買報警裝置，別忘了索要報警器的標志，并把它們張貼在窗戶和門上。最后，提醒一句，外出旅游時，一定要請一位信得過的鄰居，在你回來前幫你收好每日的報紙和郵件。這是因為放在門階（doorstep）上或郵箱 里成堆的報紙郵件如同廣告一樣使大家都知道你家里沒人。Answer: A burglary is reported every 15 seconds in the United States.Statistics show burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year.Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out.All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around.Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity.A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night.Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night.Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins.Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open.If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors.Finally, a word of warning--when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return.This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.

第四單元

外星人是一個讓專家和外行都很感興趣的話題，各式各樣的國家和組織的研究者們正在采用不同的模式尋找他 們。有的密切觀察稀有放射性（radioactive）元素水平特別高的星球，他們認為那些元素產生于人類尚未理解的 外星人技術。有的試圖從宇宙“噪音”中分

離出無線電信號。而有的則宣稱已經看到了外星人，并能詳細描繪他們的 模樣。研究者們將他們收集到的復雜數據匯編成一系列的報告和書籍。雖然確定的答案仍未找到，但并未有任何跡 象顯示探索者們的希望因為挫折而泯滅，他們堅信他們的艱辛努力是完全值得的。Answer: The Extraterrestrial has been a topic of interest to experts and laymen /nonprofessionals alike.Researchers of various nationalities and organizations are adopting different modes of investigation in search of them.Some make close observation of stars with extremely high level of rare, radioactive elements.They believe those elements result from extraterrestrial technology that is still beyond human wit to understand.Some try to isolate radio signals from the “noise” of the universe.And some claim that they have caught sight of extraterrestrials and can even describe their appearance in detail.Researchers work up the complicated data they collect into a series 2/4

of reports and books.Although no definite answer has yet been found, the explorers' hope shows no sign of fading out on account of their frustrations and they hold to the belief that their hard efforts will prove worthwhile.

在感恩節的氣氛中，喬治沒有跟朋友們一起慶祝節日，卻沉浸于閱讀他父親留給他的日記。他的父親在連續兩 次完成環球旅行后在海上去世。這份日記使他回憶起自己與父親一起度過的每一刻以及父親為他所做的許多具體事 情。喬治的父親過去經常向他強調必須經歷各種艱難困苦去追求卓越（excellence）。他還教導他世界上沒有理所 當然的東西。即使今天，他依然記得父親如何引用“懂得感激是高尚者的標志”這句伊索（Aesop）名言來教導他要 把懂得感激放在最重要的位置。Answer: Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving, rather than joining his friends in celebration of the holiday, George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world.The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf.George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardships in quest of excellence.He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted.Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls” and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.

第六單元
bare look the part cling to masterpiece fancy persistent here and there to excess in tune stand out

我們到處都能看到“搶眼”的青年藝術家。他們要么一年四季穿著破舊的

牛仔褲；要么大冬天也打赤腳；要么 飲酒過度；要么就是抱著創作一部杰作的幻想，實際上并不做任何創作的事。其實，他們中的很多人只不過是為了 看上去像名藝術家，或為了同其他藝術家“保持一致”才這么做的。他們忘了，只有通過不懈的努力才能獲得成功。Answer: Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people.They may be in worn out jeans all year round, or walk barefoot / in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work.In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be “in tune with” other artists.They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.

多利羊誕生之后，克隆就再也不能當作科學幻想而不去認真考慮了。人們能夠復制一頭一模一樣的羊，這與克 隆人僅有一步之遙。許多人覺得克隆人很可怕，令人反感。但是，這一技術具有極大的醫藥應用潛力。科學家可以 培養一群細胞，并指令它們長成與病人基因完全一致的整個器官甚至四肢，這就消除了器官移植到病人體內時因免 疫反應造成的排異問題。科學家們還可以從改基因的動物，譬如豬的身上獲取一個接受移植的病人能夠容忍的器官。這樣，現在每年成千上萬

第五篇：全新版大學英語第三冊Unit_1

Unit 1 The graduation advice I never got but wish I had

全國的大學畢業生們都為春天令人最難以忍受的儀式做好準備：畢業典禮致辭。大家都知道這個程序，一個小有名氣的人會趾高氣昂地走上主席臺，滔滔不絕地講些陳詞濫調：“世界正在等待著??你們是特別的一代??去拯救這個星球吧”等等等等廢話。一個好機會被白白地浪費了。如果這些畢業典禮的演講者能夠講一些實際有用的東西該有多好！就像這樣說：

畢業生們，大家好，祝賀你們。今天你們將離開培育你們的學術環境，直面真實的世界。在未來的好幾年里每個月你都會想起你的學校，比如當你接到一個又一個的來電，希望你為校友基金捐款時，甚至當你開出大額的支票去償還助學貸款時。

但是我們來看看光明的一面。你們即將離開學校，終于可以開始接受教育了。為了幫助你開始畢業后生活，這里有一些建議： 花時間與跟你不一樣的人在一起。從你進校的第一天起，你就聽到了太多關于學校為創建“多樣性”所付出的努力。所以當你發現你的校園幾乎是全美國最隔離的環境之一時你很能會驚訝不已。校園里不同種族的人有不同的學習方向，參加不同的畢業典禮上，甚至在餐廳不同的區域用餐。你有可能會被有些教授華麗的辭藻弄糊涂。那些教授一邊會說種族之間根本沒有差別，同時又說，應該不惜一切保留種族之間的差別。

面對事實吧。真正的多樣性簡直是無處可尋。而且我并不只是指種族方面。當課堂活動都是按照群體思維設計的練習時，哪里還有思維上的多樣性呢？想找到一位保守的教授，那比要找到一個雪人還難。若想挑戰一些有關政治正確性的正統觀點，那你將會被冠以一些難聽的名號。

只有現在從大學畢業之后，你才能真正從多樣性中獲益。先從了解與你膚色不同的人開始。接觸一群與你持有不同的政治立場的朋友，恭敬地聽他們闡述他們的觀點。隨后去認識從事其他職業的人。往往人們在選擇某一個職業之后，專業性會加強但是卻不再關心其他方面的知識，因此知識面會變窄。但是，請千萬不要落入這個圈套。一定要通過不斷尋找真正的多樣性來不斷擴展自己的視野。為樂趣而讀書。你也許覺得這是個很奇怪的建議因為幾年來你一直都在讀書。如果你沒讀過什么書，現在也不會坐在這兒了。但大部分你艱難讀完的書有與《異性戀的發明》或《怪異之人的社會構筑》（沒錯，它們的確都出自大學的閱讀目錄）類似的題目。也難怪一提到閱讀，你就會想到無聊的課本和宣傳。現在（畢業了）你終于可以擺脫這些愚蠢的行為了，也許你不想做的事就是坐下來讀一本好的小說，更不用說讀一份嚴肅的雜志或報紙了（比如專業的雜志）。

這真令人惋惜。作為一個畢業生，你覺得你已經站在了世界的頂端，但是要想一直站在世界的頂端只有一個辦法，那就是讀書。這個簡單的行為會區分出領導者與跟隨者，也會區分出真正成功的人與其他一般的人。這是個不言而喻的道理，因為這就是事實：知識就是力量。而讀書就是通往知識的道路。

所以試試這么做：去離你最近的書店，挑三本標題能夠吸引你的書。然后，去讀。閱讀時忽略那些你在文中可能碰到的任何后現代的象征手法還有那些與性別有關的象征。換句話說，只是為享受閱讀的樂趣而去閱讀。這樣做會給你帶來出乎意料的結果。

選擇實際而不是理論。這是一條法國的古語，很好地總結了大多數大學教授的錯誤想法“我們都知道這在實際可行。問題是‘在理論上這行得通嗎’?" 理論本沒什么錯。你花了那么多時間沉浸在理論之中，所以你肯定知道理論可以是很有趣的。然而你就像身處在泡泡中——被保護著免受現實世界的傷害，大學就是如此。你的老師們在這個泡泡中興旺，可以不受拘束地講那些深受青睞的理論而不必去擔心這些理論是否可行。既然你馬上會離開大學校園走向社會，你就不得不變成一個現實主義者。實際可行的才是最重要的。如果你不相信我的話，那不妨去問一問那些因追隨網絡公司是通往財富之路這一理論而破產的人們。現實擊碎了他們的夢想。

因此，歡迎你來到我們生活的這個理性的世界。一旦你把那些不切實際的幻想拒之門外，你就會發現這個世界并不是太糟。

請忘記你的那些夢想吧。你會說我忘不了。抱歉。你在學校中所接受的自尊訓練不過是一種癡心妄想的練習。你也許自我感覺良好，但是你要向別人證明你的天賦。

好好想一下吧。有些人天生就適合職業籃球，而多數人則不適合。從事核物理研究或木工活也是如此。對于大多數職業而言，你也許正好具備其所需的天賦，也許不具備。雖然說努力最終會決定成敗，但這一切又都建立在你的天賦上。所謂無限的能力與無盡的選擇純粹只是胡話罷了。

我們直截了當地說吧。找出那些你真正擅長的事情，全情投入其間。如果你最終沒能得到心儀的工作，不要著急。你的職業生涯可能會經歷一些挫折——大多數人都會——而這些挫折常常會使你進步。在這個過程中，你會慢慢發現那些令你幸福的事情。其往往便是契合于你天賦的那些事物。

最后還是要老生常談一下：在你真正了解自我之前，你的生命可能已然過半。也許已經是這樣了。沒有人能夠知道。所以，不要浪費一分一秒，馬上行動起來，祝你好運。
