新視野大學第三版英語課后翻譯原文及答案

Unit 1 原文：

Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals(基礎)of modern Western philosophy.He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato.Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics.His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions.He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology（認

識論）and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed.Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy.His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect(宗派).翻譯：

蘇格拉底是古希臘哲學家，被譽為現代西方哲學的奠基人。他是一個謎一般的人物，人們主要通過后來的一些古典作家的敘述，尤其是他最著名的學生柏拉圖的作品去了解他。蘇格拉底以他對倫理學的貢獻而聞名。他的教學法亦稱為蘇格拉底法，即通過提問和回答來激發批判性思維以及闡述觀點。該方法在各種討論中仍被普遍使用。他還在認識論和邏輯領域做出了重大而深遠的貢獻。他的思想和方法所帶來的影響一直是后來的西方哲學的堅實基礎。蘇格拉底是古代哲學史上最豐富多彩的人物。他

在他那個時代已威名遠揚。雖然他未曾建立什么哲學體系，未曾設立什么學派，也未曾創立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就變得家喻戶曉了。

原文：

孔子是中國歷史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家（Confucianism）的創始人，被尊稱為古代的“圣人”（sage）。

他的言論和生平活動記錄在《論語》（The Analects）一書中。《論語》是中國古代文化的經典著作，對后來歷代的思想家、文學家、政治家產生了很大影響。不研究《論語》，就不能真正把握中國幾千年的傳統文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，對中國社會產生了深遠的影響。在21世紀的今天，孔子的學說不僅受到中國人的重視，而且也越來越受到整個國際社會的重視。翻譯：Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history.He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”.His words and life story were recorded in The Analects.An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius.Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years' traditional Chinese culture.Much of Confucius' thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society.In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community.Unit 2 Christmas is a widely observed cultural holiday, celebrated on December 25 by millions of people around the world.It commemorates（紀念)the birth of Jesus Christ.The festival dated from as early as 336 AD.Gradually it evolved into a religious as well as secular（非

宗

教的)celebration, celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians.Today Christmas is observed as an important festival and public holiday around the world.Christmas customs differ in different countries.Popular modern customs of the holiday include an exchange of Christmas cards and gifts, Christmas singing, church attendance, the display of various Christmas decorations and trees, family gatherings, and a special meal preparation.To small children, the festival is full of fantasy and surprise.Legend（傳說)has it that Santa Claus will enter each house through the chimney and bring gifts to well-behaved children on Christmas Eve.Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival heighten economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has also become a significant event and a key sales period for businesses.翻譯： 圣誕節是一個被廣泛慶祝的文化節日，全世界有許許多多的人在1 2月2 5日慶祝這一節日。它是為了紀念耶穌基督的誕辰。該節日最早可追溯到公元3 3 6年。漸漸地，這一節日演變為一個既是宗教又是非宗教的節日，越來越多的非基督徒也慶祝圣誕節。如今，圣誕節在全球被作為一個重大的節日和公共假日來慶祝。不同國家的圣誕節風俗也各不相同。現代流行的圣誕節風俗包括交換圣誕賀卡和圣誕禮物、唱圣誕歌曲、參加教堂活動、擺放各種圣誕裝飾品和圣誕樹、舉行家庭聚會以及準備一頓特別的大餐。對小孩子們來說，這個節日充滿了幻想和驚喜。據傳說，圣誕老人會在圣誕夜從煙囪進入每戶人家，給乖巧聽話的孩子帶來禮物。由于圣誕節送禮物以及許多其他方面推動了基督徒和非基督徒的經濟活動，圣誕節也因此成為商家的一個重大活動和主要銷售季。原文：

每 年 農 歷（Chinese lunar calendar）八 月 十 五 是我 國 的 傳 統 節 日 —— 中 秋 節（the Mid-Autumn Festival）。這時是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱為中秋。中秋節的一項重要活動是賞月。夜晚，人們賞明月、吃月餅，共慶中秋佳節。中秋節也是家庭團圓的時刻，遠在他鄉的游子，會借此寄托自己對故鄉和親人的思念之情。中秋節的習俗很多，都寄托著人們對美好生活的熱愛和向往。自2008年起，中秋節成為中國的法定節假日 翻譯：

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival — the Mid-Autumn Festival.This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn.One of the important Mid-Autumn Festival activities is to enjoy the moon.On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating moon cakes.The festival is also a time for family reunion.People living far away from home will express their feelings of missing their hometowns and families at this festival.There are many customs to celebrate the festival, all expressing people's love and hope for a happy life.Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become an official national holiday in China.Unit 3 原文：

有關古代奧林匹克運動會的最早文字記載可追溯至公元前776年。古代奧運會每4年舉辦一次，在8月6日與9月19日之間的一個紀念宙斯的宗教節日期間舉行。第一屆現代奧運會于1896年在希臘雅典舉辦。奧運會的標志由五個大小相同的套環組成，代表著五大洲的聯合和來自世界各地運動員的大聚會。奧運會真正騰飛、成為一項國際體育盛會是在1924年之后，即第8屆奧運會在巴黎舉辦之后。這一年，來自44個國家約3,000名運動員同場競技，并且第一次在奧運會上增加了閉幕式這一儀式。同年，冬季奧運會首次亮相，比賽項目包括花樣滑冰、冰球、雪橇和冬季兩項運動。80年后，2004年夏季奧運會在相隔一個多世紀后再次在雅典舉辦，來自201個國家的近11,000名運動員展開競技，創下參賽國數量之最。原文： 太極拳（Tai Chi）是一種武術（martial arts）項目，也是一種健身運動，在中國有著悠久的歷史。太極拳動作緩慢而柔和，適合任何年齡、性別、體型的人練習。太極拳既可防身，又能強身健體，因而深受中國人的喜愛。太極拳在發展的過程中，借鑒并吸收了中國傳統哲學、醫術、武術的合理內容（element），成為特色鮮明的一項運動。作為中國特有的一種運動形式，太極拳也越來越受到眾多外國朋友的喜愛。翻譯：

Tai Chi is a kind of martial arts, and a fitness exercise as well.It has a long history in China.With slow and gentle movements, Tai Chi is suitable for people of any age, sex, or body type to practice.It can be used to provide self-defense as well as build the body.Therefore, it has become very popular among Chinese people.During its development, Tai Chi borrowed and absorbed desirable elements from traditional Chinese philosophy, medicine, and martial arts, and it has developed into a sport with unique features.As a unique sport in China, Tai Chi is also gaining increasing popularity among many foreign friends.Unit 6 原文： Gap year(間

年)refers to a period of time

—not necessarily a year — in which students take time off and do something other than schooling, such as travel or work.The year out is most commonly taken after high school and before going to university.During this time, a student might travel, engage in volunteer work or undertake(承擔)a working holiday abroad.A new trend is to participate in international education programs that combine language study, home stays, cultural exchange, community service, and independent study.The practice of taking a year out developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s.It has grown very popular among students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.In the United States, however, the practice of taking a year off remains the exception（例外).But in recent years, taking a year out has become slightly more common for Americans.Some 40,000 American students participated in 2013 in gap year programs, an increase of almost 20% since 2006.Universities such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formal policies allowing students to defer(期)admission.翻譯：

延間隔年指的是學生休假不去上學而去旅游或工作等的一段時間，但不一定是一年。間隔年通常選在高中畢業和進入大學之前的一段時間。在這段時間里，學生可以旅游、參加志愿者工作或者在國外邊打工邊度假。一種新潮流是參加集語言學習、住家、文化交流、社區服務和自主學習于一體的國際教育活動。間隔年的做法于20世紀60年代興起于英國。它在英國、澳大利亞、新西蘭和加拿大已經變得非常流行。但是在美國，間隔年的做法仍然只是個別現象。不過近年來，間隔年對美國人來說變得稍微普遍起來。2013年有大約四萬美國學生參加了間隔年活動，比2006年增加了近20%。普林斯頓大學、哈佛大學、麻省理工學院等大學都有明文規定允許學生延遲入學。原文：

教育(quality-oriented education)。同時，積極推進教育公平，保障人人有受教育的機會。中國的教育成就反映在兩個不同的層面：一個是全面普及了九年義務教育（nine-year compulsory education），另一個是實現了高等教育大眾化（mass higher education）。教育的發展為中國的經濟發展和社會進步作出了重大貢獻。近年來，為適應社會、經濟發展的需要，中國政府不斷加快培養各領域的急需人才。翻譯： Since its economic reform and opening-up to the world, China's education has gone through rapid development and made remarkable achievements.The Chinese government gives top priority to the development of education, persists in revitalizing the country by science and education, and fully advocates quality-oriented education.Meanwhile, it actively promotes equality in education to guarantee everyone access to education.China's achievements in education can be reflected in two different layers: One is the popularization of the nine-year compulsory education;the other is the realization of mass higher education.The development of education has made significant contributions to China's economic development and social progress.In recent years, to satisfy the needs of social and economic development, the Chinese government has sped up the training of qualified personnel urgently needed in various fields.Unit 7 原文：

The belief in the freedom of the individual is probably the most basic and most strongly held of all American beliefs.The most important thing to understand Americans is probably their devotion（深愛)to “individualism”.They have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destiny.Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts and actions.They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneous(由同類組成的)group.When they do join groups, they believe they are special, just a little different from other members of the same group.Closely associated with the value they place on individualism is the importance Americans assign privacy.Americans assume people “need some time to themselves” or “some time alone” to think about things or recover their spent psychological energy.Americans have great difficulty understanding foreigners who always want to be with another person and who dislike being alone.翻譯：

在所有美國人的信念中，最基本、最強烈的信念可能就是崇尚個人自由。要理解美國人，最重要的也許就是了解他們對“個人主義”的熱愛。生活中他們很早就開始受到教育，把自己看成獨立的個體，對人生中自己的處境以及自己的前途命運負責。美國人認為自己的思想和行為高度個性化。他們不愿被視為任何同質群體的代表。如果確實加入了群體，他們也認為自己有特別之處，與同一個群體中的其他成員有著些許的差別。與美國人對個人主義賦予的價值緊密相關的是他們對個人隱私的重視。美國人認為，人“需要有自己的時間”或者“有時間獨處”，用來思考事情，或者恢復他們所消耗的心理能量。美國人很難理解那些總想與人結伴、不愛獨處的外國人。原文：

為人誠信，以和為貴是中華民族的傳統美德。“和”的思想體現在很多方面。在處理人與人的關系上，中國傳統思想主張“和為貴”以及“家和萬事興”，從而創造一個和諧的社會環境。在人與自然的關系上，人類應當學會認識自然，尊重自然，保護自然。人與人、人與社會、人與自然都需要“和諧”。如今，和諧發展依然是我們的治國之本和管理人才之道。隨著我國社會經濟和文化的發展，“和”的思想更加深入人心。中國正在向構建社會主義和諧社會的目標邁進。翻譯： Integrity and harmony are traditional Chinese virtues.“Harmony” is demonstrated in various aspects.In regard to interpersonal relations, traditional Chinese thoughts hold that “Harmony is most precious” and “A family that lives in harmony will prosper”.A harmonious social environment can be created based on these principles.As for relations between human beings and nature, people should learn to understand, respect and protect nature.Harmony is essential to interpersonal relations, relations between human beings and society, as well as between human beings and nature.Nowadays, harmonious development is still the way of running the country and managing talented personnel.With the development of China's society, economy and culture, the idea of “harmony” goes even deeper into people's hearts.China is on its way toward the goal of building a harmonious socialist society.Unit 8 原文：

As the world's only truly universal global organization, the United Nations(UN)has become the foremost forum to address issues that transcend(超越)national boundaries and cannot be resolved by any one country acting alone.The initial goals of the UN are safeguarding（保護)peace, protecting human rights, establishing the framework for international justice and promoting economic and social progress.In recent years, the UN has been faced with new challenges, such as climate change, international terrorism and AIDS.While conflict resolution and peacekeeping continue to be among its primary efforts, the UN, along with its specialized agencies, is also engaged in a wide range of activities to improve people's lives around the world — from disaster relief, through education and advancement of women, to peaceful uses of atomic energy.The UN and its specialized agencies have helped the world become a more hospitable（熱

作為世界上唯一一個真正具有普遍性的世界組織，聯合國已經成為處理超越國界、而且任何一個國家都無法獨立解決的問題的首要論壇。聯合國最初的宗旨是維護和平、保護人權、建立國際公平正義的框架以及促進經濟和社會進步。近年來，聯合國又面臨著新的挑戰，諸如氣候變化、國際恐怖主義和艾滋病等。現在，解決爭端及維護和平仍然是聯合國最主要的任務。除此之外，聯合國及其專門機構還致力于各種旨在改進世界人民生活的活動，從賑災到教育和婦女進步，再到原子能的和平使用。聯合國及其專門機構推動世界成為一個更加友好、更加宜居的地方，為全世界人民帶來了福祉。原文：

新中國成立后，中國堅持（persist in）獨立自主的和平外交政策，在外交領域取得了巨大成就。截至2011年，中國已與172個國家建立了外交關系（diplomatic relations）。近年來，隨著中國綜合國力的提升（enhancement），中國在國際事務中的作用越來越重要，中國的國際地位得到進一步提升。在地區性事務中，中國積極推動各種區域合作，為維護地區和平、促進地區發展作出了重要貢獻。中國外交（diplomacy）將高舉“和平、發展、合作、共贏”的旗幟（banner），在和平共處五項原則的基礎上，通過全面發展同各國的友好合作，為建設持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界作出不懈的努力（make unremitting efforts）。翻譯：
