第三篇：新視界大學英語四 英語翻譯

Unit 1 1 我天天要面對的是：磕破了的膝蓋、系成死扣的鞋帶、已經聽了十多遍的腦筋急轉彎、發霉的生日蛋糕、受到傷害的情感、不知所以的故事、丟了的單只鞋子（“你要找不到它，媽媽會殺了我的。”）。2我沒有律師非凡的語言能力，沒有建筑工人強大的體力，沒有外科醫生卓越的指揮能力，也沒有商人的方法與手段。幾年前，當我面試一個小學教師職位的時候，每位校長都充滿信心地對我說，作為男性我比女性求職者更有優勢，因為他們缺少男教師。

4成為教務長或校長從來不是我的職業目標，但他們似乎希望我作為男性愿意在這個職業的階梯上繼續攀登。

5如果我的工作在福利待遇方面更像傳統的男性工作的話，或許我和男士們之間的話會更多一些。

1． 盡管我在那家公司有機會升職，我仍然選擇了離開，去從事我熱愛的工作。（although+could have done；promotion）Although I could have got promotion in that company, I chose to leave and pursue the job I love.2． 你最先要遵從的不是你的老板，而是這個行業的規則。It is not your boss but the rules of the industry(that)you should first comply with.3． 一份好的簡歷是找到工作的第一步，因此今天我們提出討論的是如何寫份好簡歷。(what-clause;bring up)A good resume

is

the

first

step

to

getting

a job.SO what we bring up for discussion today is how to write a good resume.4． 人們工作往往是為了謀生，而不是出于愛好。

People work , more often than not ,for the sake of making a living rather than out of passion.5． 據面試官反饋，大部分接受面試的畢業生都說不出他們能為公司做些什么。

According to the interviewer’s feedback , most graduates couldn’t say what they can contribute to the company.Unit 2 1 然而，過去我大部分的工作實際上都是在沒有藏書可參考的情況下完成的，我把這點看成優勢而非劣勢。那時候，帶星號的書籍是禁止年輕人閱讀的——根據人們認定的不道德的程度，書被分別標記一顆、兩顆或三顆星號。生活中最難的就是學會做對自己絕對有益的事，這點至關重要。4你如果忠實于自己的話，你會發現單單通過努力抵制自己的沖動，你已然獲得成長，也變得更加成熟。5不僅如此，如果他喜歡某個作者，他會閱讀他所寫的每一本書，以及他的信件和所有關于他的書。讀書不僅僅影響到個人，還影響到整個民族。(not only + inversion;as a whole)Not only does reading influence a single person, but it also influences a nation as a whole.2.和老者在一起就像是讀一本厚厚的書，令人愛不釋手。(part with)Being in the company of the old like reading a thick book, which you don’t want to part with.3.如今雖然讀書的人越來越少了，但仍有人嗜書如命。(look upon / on as)Although nowadays fewer and fewer people read books, there are still some people who look upon / on books as their lives.4.他有買書的習慣，但買了之后，大都束之高閣。(lie idle on the shelf)He had the habit of buying books, but most of the books would lie idle on the shelf after he had bought them.5.在路邊的一個小書店里，我碰巧看到了這本我渴望已久的書。(stumble upon;long to do sth)I stumbled upon the book I longed to have for quite a long time in a small roadside bookstore.Unit 3 1 從1960年到2010年的任何一部時尚史都不能忽略或低估兩個恒在的因素：牛仔褲和女性裙子長度的變化。時尚編輯們一致認為：除了個別情況外，女性裙子的長度和經濟之間有著密切的聯系。

隨著20世紀90年代世界經濟的再次反彈，年輕人在時尚方面變得更為大膽。

4有時裙子底邊甚至可以預測股市行情。在整個50年期間，時尚風格變化巨大，而且變化通常由人們想要歸屬某個亞文化群體的愿望所激發。

1． 他對時尚的東西有一種天生的抵制，因此和他談時尚毫無疑義。He has a natural resistance to anything fashionable, so there is no point talking fashion with him.2． 很多知名品牌是以設計師本人的名字命名的。Many famous brands were named after their designers.3． 過去的30年見證了中國經濟的發展，也見證了時尚的變遷。The past 30 years saw the development of Chinese economy as well as the changes in fashion.4． 今年夏季的流行服裝究竟會是什么，現在還很不清楚。Excatly what will be the fashionable clothes in the summer remains unknown yet.5． 有人認為，如今女性的穿著越來越暴露了，而相比之下，男性的穿著卻很保守。

Some people think that nowadays women are exposing more and more of themselves , while in contrast men are dressing more conservatively.Unit 4 1晚上他有時會聽歌劇，閉上眼睛，讓思緒隨著美妙的歌聲起起伏伏。2 我坐在這里，已經奄奄一息，但我可以告訴你，錢或權力都無法帶給你你需要的感覺，不管你有多少錢財或多大的權力。即使莫里銀行賬戶中的錢在迅速減少，這個家已經實實在在地成為了一個富裕的家庭。全身心投入地愛他人，全身心投入到你身邊的社區，全身心投入地去創造讓你覺得有目標、有意義的事物。

5我這樣做主要是因為我不想讓他看到我的眼睛，不想讓他知道我的心思，不想讓他知道，自從畢業后，我大部分的生活就是在追求這些被他一直譴責的東西——更大的玩物、更好的房子。1.我羨慕那些為了夢想而不是為了金錢撲在事業上的人。I admire those who devote themselves to a career for their dreams rather than for money.2.愛情、友情、幸福、知識、健康，這些都是金錢無法替代的無價之寶

Love, friendship, happiness, knowledge, health--all these things are priceless things for which money can’t substitute.3.老實給我講，物質的東西真的對你一點兒也不重要嗎？ To be honest with me, do material things hold no significance for you at all? 4.我們要學會從生活中尋找簡單的快樂，而不要盲目的追求物質的東西。

We should learn to find simple pleasure from life instead of pursuing material things blindly.5.看了這部反映親情的電影，很多人感動的留下了眼淚。

Many people moved to tears after watching the movie reflecting family affection.Unit 5 1.研究發現，男人并沒有比女人花更多的時間去談論諸如政治、工作、藝術和文化事務等“重要”或“高雅”的話題——除非有女人在場（女人在場時情況會有明顯的不同）。

2.即便如此，讓人費解的是人們，尤其是男性，仍然普遍認為男人交談是“解決世界問題”，而女人們則是廚房里閑聊。3.我訪談的英國女性一致認為八卦時應使用特定的語調。

4.女性還非常注意八卦時細節的重要性，并再次抱怨男性在這方面的不足，聲稱男人“永遠不知道細節”。

5.英國人八卦禮儀的不成文的規則確實允許男性在聽到繪聲繪色的八卦時表現出震驚或驚訝，但人們認為用一句恰當的臟話表達這種驚訝更容易讓人接受，也更男人。

1． 與傳統的觀念相反，男性之間也是說閑話的，只是他們說閑話的方式與女性不同而已。

Contrary to traditional views, men also gossip ； they only gossip in

different ways from females.2.女性能夠準確地把握生活中的細節，而男性往往對細節不太在意。Females can accurately grasp the details in life,while males are usually careless about them.3． 目前，全國女公務員人數約占公務員總數的三分之一。At present ，women

civil

servants

account

for

one third of the country’s total.4． 這篇論文大致討論的是女性與男性的思維方式有巨大的差別。What the essay argues is to the effect that the female way of thanking is very different from the male.5． 最近的一項調查顯示，家務占用了女性大約50%的業余時間。A recent survey revealed that housework accounts for about 50 percent of women’s spare time.Unit6 1 我從未和他正面相視，但我知道，雖然我們的房屋結構完全一樣，但是方向卻正好相反——我的正門朝東而鄰居的正門朝西，我的臥室在后面，下面是他的廚房，而他的臥室在前面，下面是我的廚房，這真是很奇怪。沒過多久，又有孩子要照顧了。先是一個笑得開心、睡得很酣的女孩，然后是一個肺活量大得可以把我們所有人都吵醒的男孩。3 最初只是每隔一小時左右沿街有金屬剮蹭的聲音。但年復一年，道路越來越繁忙。又過了不久，街道上就出現了成排的公共汽車和轎車，緩慢地行駛著，或者等在十字路口。他已經上了年紀，所以行動不便，走起路來非常遲緩，要借助雙手來保持平穩，有時還要停下來喘口氣。

5甚至連周邊也不再是以前的樣子了，深夜還有很響的音樂聲和叫喊聲。坦率地說，這里的交通簡直讓人無法忍受。遠處有一座白色的房子，讓我想起來我孩提時的家。(in the distance+inversion)In the distance is a white house, which reminds me of my home when I was a child.2 他習慣了鄉下自由自在的生活，住在沒有庭院的冷冰冰的大樓里讓他難以忍受。(be used to;leisurely;live with)He is used to the leisurely life of the countryside.To live in a cold building without a yard is something he feels hard to live with.3 坦率地說，我很喜歡這座老房子。雖然條件簡樸了些，但讓人感覺溫暖。(to be frank)To be frank, I like the old house very much.Despite its simple conditions, it gives people a feeling of warmth.4 她不愿意搬到市中心去，因為在郊區有很多陪伴她的朋友。(downtown;suburb;keep?company)She doesn’t want to move to the downtown because in the suburbs she has many friends who keep her company.5 這里曾是個花園，每年春天鮮花盛開，非常美麗。(used to be;blossom)There used to be a garden here with beautiful flowers blooming in spring.
