Unit 1 Growing Up为自己而写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装,领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。
他长着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来一本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年,不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题目供我们选择。
像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数一样乏味。
我把作文题带回家,一直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。
我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有一个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作一团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
Unit 1 Section A1. 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却非常有价值。
2. 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心,时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。
两年中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。
3. 到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语。
然而,高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前,老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了,她就会用长教鞭指着我们,上下挥舞大喊:“错!错!错!”没有多久,我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
4. 好在这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同,大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,而且从来不带教鞭!不过情况却远不尽如人意。
由于班大,每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后,我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然原因与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
5. 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程,情况才有所改善。
这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
6. 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花许多的时间,需要学习者专心自律,以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低要求,并按时完成作业。
7. 我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本,笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时甚至想放弃。
但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧,因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前,我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。
突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了,更重要的是,我说起英语来灵活自如。

新视野大学英语第三版第二册unit1课文翻译与习题答案课文 A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their / there / they‟re 之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They‟ve just ate。
实际上,他们应该说They‟ve just eaten。
因此,批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。
Unit 1 课文翻译及课后练习翻译参考答案课文翻译:Unit1 从能力到责任当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。
他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。
年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们也承认自己的迷茫:在这个变幻莫测的时代,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。
一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也感到纠结——一方面,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。
最终,本科教育的质量将由毕业生参与社会与公民活动的主动性来衡量。
雷霍德·尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有奉献社会,才能了解自我。
一个人如果一味地以自我为中心(或直译:一个人如果不能找到自我以外的中心),他将会失去自我。
”理想化的本科教育应该反映在超越自我中。
在这一个残酷的、竞争激烈的社会,人们期望大学生能具备正直、文明,甚至富有同情心的人格品质,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合(或直译:希望大学的人文教育能使大学生在与他人的人际交往中具备人文情怀,这是否合适)?毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。
这迫切需要美国教育有助于弥合公共政策与公众理解程度之间的极具危险性、正日益加深的鸿沟。
建设性思考政府议程问题所必备的知识似乎越来越无法掌握。
所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。
他们问,如果一些非专业人士甚至不懂专业术语,怎么可能让他们去讨论重大的政策选择问题?核能的利用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。
公民们带着类似的困惑讨论“星球大战”问题,试图搞懂那些关于“威慑”与“反威慑”等高科技的专业术语。
像地方的区域规划,学校种族隔离制的废除,排水系统的问题,公共交通的治理,以及相互竞争中的有线电视公司对许可证的申请等这些曾经看起来只是一些地方性事务的事情,现在也需要专家来解决。
课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀?1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话:―我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。
‖有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且,她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母,当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:―啊哈,你又上了我的当。
‖5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫(即背景),接下来是主干部分(即故事情节),随后便是妙语(即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾)。
《高级英语》Advanced English第一册Unit 1The Middle Eastern BazaarTHE MIDDLE EASTERN BAZAAR 教学目的及重点难点Aims of teaching1. To comprehend the whole text2. To lean and master the vocabulary and expressions3. To understand the structure of the text4. To appreciate the style and rhetoric of the passage.Important and difficult points1. What is description?2. The comprehension and appreciation of the words describing sound, colour, light, heat, size and smell.3. The appreciation of the words and expressions used for stress and exaggeration.4. Some useful expressions such as to make a point of, it is a point of honour…, and etcBackground informationThis text is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces (1962), which was intended for students preparing for the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency Examination, & for students in the top class of secondary schools or in the first year of a university course.The Middle Eastern BazaarThe Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds --- even thousands --- of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic - arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, darkcavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leavingthe bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold. The din of the stall-holder; crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you dizzy.Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, deadens the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit .One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can know where to find them, and so that they can form a closely knit guild against injustice or persecution . In the cloth-market, for instance, all the sellers of material for clothes, curtains, chair covers and so on line the roadway on both sides, each open-fronted shop having a trestle trestle table for display and shelves for storage. Bargaining is the order of the cay, and veiled women move at a leisurely pace from shop to shop, selecting, pricing and doing a little preliminary bargaining before they narrow down their choice and begin the really serious business of beating the price down.It is a point of honour with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment. If he does guess correctly, he will price the item high, and yield little in the bargaining. The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer. Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customer coming and going at intervals .One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ear. It grows louder and more distinct, until you round a corner and see a fairyland of dancing flashes, as the burnished copper catches the light of innumerable lamps and braziers . In each shop sit the apprentices –boys and youths, some of them incredibly young – hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the shop-owner instructs, and sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself. In the background, a tiny apprentice blows a bi-, charcoal fir e with a hugeleather bellows worked by a string attached to his big toe -- the red of the live coals glowing, bright and then dimming rhythmically to the strokes of the bellows.Here you can findbeautiful pots and bowlsengrave with delicate andintricate traditionaldesigns, or the simple,everyday kitchenwareused in this country,pleasing in form, butundecorated and strictlyfunctional. Elsewherethere is the carpet-market,with its profusion of richcolours, varied textures and regional designs -- some bold and simple, others unbelievably detailed and yet harmonious. Then there is the spice-market, with its pungent and exotic smells; and thefood-market, where you can buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner, or sit in a tiny restaurant with porters and apprentices and eat your humble bread and cheese. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters' market lie elsewhere in the maze of vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. Every here and there, a doorway gives a glimpse of a sunlit courtyard, perhaps before a mosque or a caravanserai , where camels lie disdainfully chewing their hay, while the great bales of merchandise they have carried hundreds of miles across the desert lie beside them.Perhaps the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar, apart from its general atmosphere, is the place where they make linseed oil. It is a vast, sombre cavern of a room, some thirty feet high and sixty feet square, and so thick with the dust of centuries that the mudbrick walls and vaulted roof are only dimly visible. In this cavern are three massive stone wheels, each with a huge pole through its centre as an axle. The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel. This revolves in a circular stone channel, into which an attendant feeds linseed. The stone wheel crushes it to a pulp, which is then pressed to extract the oil .The camels are the largest and finest I have ever seen, and in superb condition –muscular, massive and stately.The pressing of the linseed pulp to extract the oil is done by a vast ramshackle apparatus of beams and ropes and pulleys which towers to the vaulted ceiling and dwarfs the camels and their stonewheels. The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders girders creak and groan , ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can. Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the camels.(from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation pieces, 1962 )NOTES1) This piece is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces, compiled for overseas students by L.

Unit 1 Section A1. 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却非常有价值。
2. 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心,时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。
两年中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。
3. 到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语。
然而,高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前,老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了,她就会用长教鞭指着我们,上下挥舞大喊:“错!错!错!”没有多久,我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
4. 好在这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同,大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,而且从来不带教鞭!不过情况却远不尽如人意。
由于班大,每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后,我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然原因与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
5. 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程,情况才有所改善。
这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
6. 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花许多的时间,需要学习者专心自律,以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低要求,并按时完成作业。
7. 我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本,笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时甚至想放弃。
UNIT 1PASSAGE APolar Differences Between Chinese and American CulturesAmericans wear black for mourning. Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as representations of God. The polarities between Chinese civilization and the West often make it seem as though each stands at extreme ends of the earth. Now a University of California, Berkeley, psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.在丧礼上,美国人穿黑色丧服,而中国人穿白色。
西方人认为龙是怪物,而中国人把龙当成神明。
中国与西方的文明差异使它们看起来像分别站在地球的极端。
最近加利福尼亚的一所大学的心理学家伯克利发现中国和美国文化差异的更深极性,那是关于内心深处的如何理性和发现真理的极性。
His findings go far toward explaining many of the differences between Chinese and American cultures, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the door for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese would learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing scholar, who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology, and Americans could profit from Chinese ways of accepting contradictions in social and personal life.他的研究结果对于解释许多中美文化对比的差异有很大的贡献。
大学英语(1)部分课文译文与课后练习答案Unit 1 现在时Ⅰ. Choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1 I'm afraid I can't finish the work ___________to help me.A. unless you will comeB. unless you comeC. until you will comeD. until you shall come正确答案:B答案讲解:在时间、条件状语从句中,往往用一般现在时来表示将来的动作,故可以排除A、C 和D。
根据题意,选择“除非你来帮我,否则我恐怕完不成工作”更合情理,所以答案为B。
2 We can go when the ground____________.A. is dryingB. has driedC. driedD. dry正确答案:B答案讲解:有时为了明确在时间上分句动作的完成先于主句的动作,也可用现在完成时表示将来某一时刻前完成的动作,但不能用将来完成时的形式。
因此,答案为B,意为“当地面干了以后,我们就可以走了。
”3 Come and sit down by the fire. Your hand____________.A. feel so coldlyB. is feeling so coldC. feels so coldD. is felt so cold正确答案:C答案讲解:主语your hand是单数形式,谓语动词也应选择单数形式,故可以排除A。
表示主语具有的特征、状态时应用一般现在时,故又可以排除B。
表示某物给人以某种感觉时应用主动语态,所以选C,意为“过来坐在火边,你的手很凉”。
4 Various programs____________on TV. World news____________best received.A. will show, areB. are shown, isC. are showing, isD. have shown, are正确答案:B答案讲解:第一句话的主语various programs是复数,故应选择复数的谓语动词,而第二句话的主语world news是单数,要对应单数的谓语动词,这样便可以排除A和D。
Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱,衣着肮脏,口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩,他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里,便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说:“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
Unit 1 课文翻译及课后练习翻译参考答案课文翻译:Unit1 从能力到责任当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。
他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。
年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们也承认自己的迷茫:在这个变幻莫测的时代,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。
一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也感到纠结——一方面,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。
最终,本科教育的质量将由毕业生参与社会与公民活动的主动性来衡量。
雷霍德·尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有奉献社会,才能了解自我。
一个人如果一味地以自我为中心(或直译:一个人如果不能找到自我以外的中心),他将会失去自我。
”理想化的本科教育应该反映在超越自我中。
在这一个残酷的、竞争激烈的社会,人们期望大学生能具备正直、文明,甚至富有同情心的人格品质,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合(或直译:希望大学的人文教育能使大学生在与他人的人际交往中具备人文情怀,这是否合适)?毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。
这迫切需要美国教育有助于弥合公共政策与公众理解程度之间的极具危险性、正日益加深的鸿沟。
建设性思考政府议程问题所必备的知识似乎越来越无法掌握。
所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。
他们问,如果一些非专业人士甚至不懂专业术语,怎么可能让他们去讨论重大的政策选择问题?核能的利用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。
公民们带着类似的困惑讨论“星球大战”问题,试图搞懂那些关于“威慑”与“反威慑”等高科技的专业术语。
像地方的区域规划,学校种族隔离制的废除,排水系统的问题,公共交通的治理,以及相互竞争中的有线电视公司对许可证的申请等这些曾经看起来只是一些地方性事务的事情,现在也需要专家来解决。
Unit 1 Personal RelationshipIn-Class Reading The Gift of Life以生命相赠1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。
在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。
2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,双腿被炸伤了。
3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。
医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。
他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。
显然,如果不立即采取行动,她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。
4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要匹配的血型。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。
而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。
5 医生会讲一点越南语,护士会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。
孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。
医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。
然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。
6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。
此时小病人生命垂危。
然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。
过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。
7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。
“你叫什么名字?”8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。
9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。
在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。
10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。
11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。
12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。
医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴还是摇了摇头。
13 但现在,偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。
新标准大学英语综合教程1Unit 1 Active Reading 1Diary of a fresher大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
“好极了!”他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。

其中一个重要问题是,在科学领域里,对于什么样的行为有违伦理规范,应当受到惩罚,仍然模棱两可。
工程,法律,和医学领域对道德行为的定义有明确的书面指导原则。
虽然某些特别复杂的案例会挑战这些原则的底线,但多数原则具有指导意义。
科学研究也并不提供书面的行为准则。
联邦政府和私人机构一直试图阐明学术不端行为的裁定标准,比如一些描述科研不端行为的核心定义,包括编造,篡改和等等。
然而这些行为容易与包含“可疑行为”在内的其他不太确定的类别相互混淆。
这些混淆的定义让学生和教职人员也不是很清楚他们到底承担哪些责任和义务?2.Researchers should tell every participant about all the characteristics and details of the study, though such an act may affect the willingness of subjects. Researchers should also try to answer or explain any question about the experiment from subjects. Frankness and sincerity are supposed to be essential to the relationship between researchers and subjects. When researchers have to hide from or deceive subjects for methodological reasons, they need to have subjects understand the reasons for doing so and try to recover their original relationships.Researchers should respect the subjects’rights and freedom to refuse or terminate their participation in the study at any time. This point is even more salient when researchers have higher power-relationship than subjects. As regards the moral acceptability of experimental procedures and measures, there must be a clear and fair agreement reached by researchers and subjects at the outset in order to clarify each other’s responsibility. Researchers have a responsibility to abide by and comply with the provisions of commitments and obligations in the agreement.译文:Text A为什么要教科研伦理朱迪·E·斯特恩丹妮·艾略特1. 最近,我们当中的一员有机会与一名医科学生谈论她正计划要做的一个实验室轮转项目。
新世纪大学英语(第二版)综合课程2u n i t1课文翻译和课后答案-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1陌生人的善意迈克·麦金太尔一年夏天,我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处,我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势,另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的,我想。
再说,那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家,曾有那么一段时间,你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理,大家会认为你是混蛋,而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯,为什么要冒险呢“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后,我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是,我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道,现在还有人会停车吗?3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句:“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗?5 要验证这一点,一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸,不带一分钱,完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢好吧,我想,那不如我来试试7 满37岁那个星期,我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越,美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋,不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱,我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”(即开普菲尔),它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
Book 1 Unit 1ReadingSenior high school brings a lot of new experiences to everyone. The speech below was given to new senior high school students by their principal, Mr Xu, on the first day of term. Before you read the speech transcript, think about the following questions:•How do you think senior high school will be different from junior high school?•What do you think the principal will talk about in his speech?Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school! Today is the start of a new term, the start of a three-year journey and the start of a promising future.I can’t wait to describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to a world full of challenges: a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking. However, for those of you with a positive mind, opportunity lies in each challenge. When you rise to the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy personal growth. Most importantly, your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential.“What is potential?” you may ask. Put simply, potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough. Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances you will make or what amazing technologies you will develop! The possibilities are endless, and I have confidence in your ability to make a difference to your family, to your community and to our country. Over the next three years, you will discover your potential while you develop as a student and as a person.To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of our school resources. Take advantage of your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities. There are also a lot of school activities for you. Join a club or two, and take an active part in different sports.Of equal importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. Carefully plan your study, set clear goals and balance your schoolwork with other activities. As a senior high school student, you must make efforts to improve your communication and problem-solving skills. Last but not least, always look on the bright side and never lose hope, even in difficult situations. In time you will find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual.As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character. Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone are responsible for realizing your great potential. Be confident, do your best and make us proud!Extended readingJohn Li, a Chinese senior high school student, has spent a year studying in the UK. Read his article in the school magazine about his school life abroad.\Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough for me to remember everyone’s name!I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.During the hour-long lunchtime, I ate in the school dining hall. There were lots of options including bread and butter, chicken pie and puddings, but I still missed my mum’s cooking! After lunch, I often played on the school’s huge sports field with Daniel and his friends. Sometimes we just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.After school, there were many clubs to join. The one that attracted me most was the Rugby Club. We played once a week, and it was great fun. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre Club. I still have photos of myself acting in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Joining clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them.I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life. I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK. Daniel and his family were fantastic hosts, and his friends were very nice as well. I can’t wait for Daniel to visit China!TranslationUnit 1 Back to schoolReading发挥你的潜能大家好!欢迎进入高中阶段学习!今天,是新学期的开始,是一段三年旅程的开端,更是一个锦绣前程的起点。
Unitl课文翻译及课后练习翻译参考答案课文翻译:Unitl从能力到责任当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。
他们致力于寻求在他们看來似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的枳累。
年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们也承认自己的迷茫:在这个变幻莫测的时代,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。
一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也感到纠结 ------------- 方血,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。
最终,本科教育的质量将由毕业生参与社会与公民活动的主动性来衡量。
雷崔德•尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有奉献社会,才能了解自我。
一个人如果一味地以自我为屮心(或直译:一个人如杲不能找到自我以外的中心),他将会失去自我。
”理想化的本科教育应该反映在超越自我中。
在这一个残酷的、竞争激烈的社会,人们期望大学生能具备正直、文明, 甚至富有同情心的人格品质,这是否己是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合(或直译:希望大学的人文教育能使大学生在与他人的人际交往中具备人文情怀,这是否合适)?毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。
这迫切需要美国教育有助于弥合公共政策与公众理解程度之间的极具危险性、正日益加深的鸿沟。
建设性思考政府议程问题所必备的知识似乎越来越无法掌握。
所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。
他们问,如果一些非专业人士甚至不懂专业术语,怎么可能让他们去讨论重大的政策选择问题?核能的利用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。
公民们带着类似的困惑讨论“星球大战”问题,试图搞懂那些关于“威慑”与“反威慑”等高科技的专业术语。
像地方的区域规划,学校种族隔离制的废除,排水系统的问题, 公共交通的治理,以及相互竞争川的有线电视公司对许可证的申请等这些曾经看起来只是一些地方性事务的事情,现在也需要专家来解决。
这些专家讨论专门术语,常常不是阐明问题, 反而使问题变得让人迷惑不解。
然而,公共生活的复杂性,要求更多、而非更少的信息资料; 需要更积极、而非更消极的公众参与。
对于那些关心“民治”政府的人,公众理解程度的每况愈下是无法接受的。
当今世界, 人类生存问题吉凶未卜、危在旦夕,无知是不可取的。
由视野有限的专家完全控制政策制定, 这也是不可容忍的。
作为公民,我们如果不能找到更好的方法教育自己,如果不能提出难题, 并得到满意的答案,那么我们会冒险做一些关键性的决定,不是基于我们所了解的知识,而是基于对一两个所谓专家的盲目信任。
我们的民主社会需要一批受过良好教育(well-informed)、关心他人(caring)的人士。
他们能作为公民,本着服务大众的精神,团结一致,相互学习,参与到民主建设之屮。
我们需要关心公众事务的人,他们能参与调查,知道如何提出合适的问题,了解公民政策制定的程序,并能够对那些影响深远的问题做出有根据的、敏锐的判断。
诚然,没有哪个社会机构能独立培养我们所需的领导人才,但我们深信,如果“民治政府”要有生命力的话, 大学相对于其他机构来说,更有责任去培养我们国家所急需的开明领导人。
为了完成这个迫切的使命,所需的视野不仅要着眼国内,还必须放眼世界。
当代大学生必须还了解其它国家的民族与文化。
人类的势力范围已涉及到太空,一切变得都很明了,我们都是同一个星球的守护者。
在过去的半个世纪中,我们的地球变得越來越拥挤,相互依赖性越来越强,同时也更加变化莫测。
如果学生不能超越自我,不能更好地理解自己在这个复杂世界中的地位,那么他们在生活中尽其义务的能力就有降低的危险。
世界或许还没有变成一个小村庄。
但可以肯定的是,我们的邻里意识必须加以扩展。
当旱灾席卷撒哈拉沙漠,当印度支那战争带來难民潮时,我们的同情心,我们的理性思维都不再受缚于地图上的政治分界线。
我们开始知道,饥荒和人权己如同武器和条约一样,对人类团结起着决定性的影响。
最令人担心的是,蘑菇云已在人类意识里投下了不祥的阴影。
这些事实以及因此赋予的职责都必须让每个学生了解。
然而,在研究中,我们发现了一个令人担忧的问题:大学校园对诸如此类的社会常识缺乏了解,有时,校园甚至弥漫着一种对世事的冷漠与不关心的氛围。
当难民如潮水一般从一个国家涌入到另外一个国家时,我们却只有极少数学生能在地图上指出这些大规模的迁移现象,或是谈论起导致难民潮泛滥的饥荒、战争和贫穷。
世界各地的哲学家、政治家、发明家和艺术家的丰功伟绩丰富了我们的生活,但他们本人及其贡献却时常不为人知,或是被世人遗忘。
虽然有一些学生已具备了放眼全球的视角,然而,大多数学生,尽管他们対世事的关注忽隐忽现,却对他们所生存的相互依赖的世界缺乏足够的了解。
巴黎圣母院大学的威廉•杜黑牧师近期写道:“许多大学教育的问题就在于,学校通过在其高高的围墙内营造受保护的小团体,纵容了学生的筑巢本能。
”综上所述表明一点:世界发生了巨变,变得越来越拥挤,相互的联系变得越来越强,同时也更加动荡不安。
这个口益复杂的世界里,美国的新一代必须接受终身教育。
如果大学教育不能帮助学生超越口我,更好地理解世界相互依存的本质特征,那么新生的一代就会依然无知,他们自信而负责地生活能力会有降低的危险。
通过研究,我们深有感触地认识到当今大学教育最成功之处就是培养学生的能力一一完成课吋,收集信息,考试成绩优良,术业专攻。
具有成功地处理好单独问题的能力在今天备受推崇。
然而,当我们问及学牛们关于他们的大学教育的时候,他们几乎都亳无例外地谈论起他们所获得的学分或是他们仍然需要完成的课程。
但是任何种类的专门技术都留有一些悬而未决的基本问题:教育的终极目的是什么?能力用来做什么?大学时期正是形成价值观、探索个人专长的时期,如果把一些感触最深的问题、一些悬而未决的疑难问题、最有创造力的吋刻置于学习生涯的次要地位,那将是多么的可悲。
在大学本科教育阶段,如果学生们习惯于墨守成规,陷入学术界有时过分倡导的条条框框的束缚之中,那将是多么严重的失误。
学生们是在处于人生期望值最高的时刻步入大学校园的。
然而,他们往往却由此而陷入令人死气沉沉、心不在焉的种种日常规定中。
当我们与老师和同学交谈时,经常会感到不安: 生活中最重要的问题一一社会的自然属性,社会不平等的根源,事实上,这些正是与人类生存休戚相关的前景一一却是大学教育中最少被触及的问题。
大学教育的结果应该由学生在课堂的表现来衡量,如学生能否熟练地运用知识,拥有坚实的基础教育,并在某一专业领域有所特长。
并且,本科教育的影响将通过毕业生在其工作及继续教育中的表现体现出来O最终,必须激励学生拓宽视野,用他们所学的知识去发现规律,形成价值观念,进而推进公益事业。
本科教育的最高境界应促使学生从具备能力转变为承担责任。
一名最近毕业的大学生写了一篇关于年轻人的责任及其未来的文章。
她问到:“如果我们连奉献于人的精神都缺乏的话,更不用说为了一套一套的抽象的价值观念,难以想象我们的民族将会是什么样子。
如果说自身利益是我们崇尚的最高价值观念,人性只是一件无利可图的商品,那么我们将选择什么样的政治人物呢?”总Z,大学教育应该鼓励每位同学提高在生活及行为中明辨常理的能力,无论是在课堂上,或是在地下室餐馆,或是在深夜的白由交谈中,力争分秒,探索谜团,思考生活中的难题。
大学的目的不是向学生进行思想灌输,而是要让他们在思想的国度里畅游,为他们提供良好的氛围,以培养正确的伦理道德观并形成坚定的信念。
这种迫切需要并不取代学生在专业上努力学习的需要,但专业化学习不应成为理由停止明辨是非,也不应成为理由减少对有意义的生活目标的追求。
我们深刻地意识到,人们以及一些教育机构对当今我们所处的时代的一些事件产生的影响是有限的。
但我们永远希望,凭着决心和努力,大学教育能在毕业生的智力培养和个人生活中,在他们愿意承担的社会及公民义务方面,最终在世界观方面发生作用。
这些方面虽然抽象,却真实地揭示了他们的自身价值,成为最终衡量大学教育质量的特质。
A.英译汉阿诺徳•汤恩比说一切进步和发展都来自挑战以及人们的相应反应。
没有挑战就没有反应,没有发展,没有自由。
所以我们首先应该在孩子们力所能及范围内开设最严格、最有挑战性的课程。
我们给孩子提供的第二个机会是失败的权利。
德•纽伊说写道:“自由不仅是一种特权, 还是一种考验。
”如果没有人能够失败,那还算什么样的考验和什么样的自由呢?美国能给所有读完高屮四年课程而不管是否表现出成绩的学生发放毕业文凭的日子一去不复返了0我们生活在一个冃光短浅/眼光狭隘的世界里,必须对现实上义保持警惕,保持清醒认识:现实主义需要一个衡量成败的标准,要么达到这个标准,要么引起失败。
这些话听起来刺耳/确实不好听,但却是残酷的/无情的事实。
如果我们剥夺孩子失败的权利,就剥夺了他们如实认识世界的权利。
句式理解常见错误或难点分析:第二段:The second opportunity we can give our boys and girls is the right to failure・What kind of test is it, what kind of freedom where no one can fail?误译:这种测试是什么性质,而不允许任何人失败的自由又是什么性质?注释:where在这里是定语从句关系副词,相当于in which,它修饰的是逗号连接的两个分句,不只是后面一个分句,即test和freedom都是先行词。
在翻译屮这样的定语从句常起状语从句作用,这里相当于if条件句。
有些定语从句在深层意思上含时间、地点、原因、结果、目的、让步、条件和假设等状语性意思。
再如:• We know that a cat, whose eyes can take in many more rays of light than our eyes, cansee clearly in the night.(原因)译文:我们知道,由于猫的眼睛比我们人类的眼睛能吸收更多的光线,所以猫在黑夜也能看得很清楚。
•They have built up a new college here, where students will be trained to be engineers and scientists.(目的)•译文:他们在这里建了一所学校,以培养科技人才。
■•An electrical current begins to flow through a coil, which is connected across a charged condense 匚(条件)•译文:如果线圈同充电的电容器相连接,电流就开始流过线圈。
