新世纪大学英语阅读教程翻译 Unit 1 塞克哈尔觉得，事实就像太阳一样。大概没有谁能直视太阳而不眨眼，不觉眩晕。他发觉人际关系的精髓在于时时刻刻调和事实，避免冲突。他设定了一个特殊的日子——一年中至少有一天无论如何必须说实话。否则生命还有什么意义。他对这一天充满无数期待，也没有告诉任何人要做这个实验。这是个秘密的决定，一件永远不为人知的事。 首次尝试便从妻子准备的早餐开始。他对一道美味举筷不定，这可是妻子自认为的厨中之冠。“怎么啦？不好吃吗？”她问道。要是往常，为了照顾她的情绪，他肯定说：“没有，我吃饱了而已。”可今天他却说：“不好吃。我咽不下去。”看到妻子眉头紧锁，他对自己说：“没办法，事实就像太阳一样。” 第二次尝试是在教师休息室，一个同事走过来说：“某某死了听说了吗？觉得很遗憾吧。”“不觉得，”赛克哈尔回答。“他的确是个好人……”另一个还没说完。塞克哈尔就抢过来说：“好什么啊，对我他可是个刻薄、自私的家伙。” 塞克哈尔给三年级A班上最后一节地理课时，收到校长递来的便条：回家前请过来一趟。他自言自语道：“肯定是那些可怕的试卷。一百多份字迹潦草的男生的试卷；他已经消极怠工几个礼拜了，感觉头顶像是悬了一把利剑，随时都有刺下来的可能。” 下课铃响起，孩子们潮水般涌出教室。塞克哈尔在校长门口停了会儿，扣好上衣扣子；扣子也是校长经常训诫的目标。 他进了门，彬彬有礼地说了句：“晚上好，校长。” 校长抬起头看着他，十分友善地问道：“今晚有空吗？” 塞克哈尔回答：“答应过家里的孩子要出去……” “那，可以改天再带他们出去。现在跟我回家。” “噢……好的，校长，当然没问题……”然后怯生生地问：“有什么要紧事吗，校长？”“是的，”校长回答，像是在对自己笑……“你真的不知道我缺乏音乐天赋吗？” “噢，知道，校长……” “我一直在偷偷地学习和练习，今晚想让你听听我演唱。我约好了一个鼓手和一个小提琴手为我伴奏。这还是我的第一次正式演出，想听听你的建议。我知道你的建议弥足珍贵。”塞克哈尔的音乐品味无人不知。他是小镇里最令人生畏的音乐评论人。可他怎么也没想到，他的音乐爱好将它引入这层磨难……。“对你来说，有点突然是吧？”校长问。“我已经关上门花了不知道多少钱……”他们开始往校长家走。“上帝没能给我一个孩子，可至少没有剥夺音乐给我的慰藉，”他们边走校长边悲戚戚地说。他喋喋不休地说着音乐的事：如何完全因打发无聊起步；如何被音乐老师取笑，又被给予希望；他人生的雄心壮志又是如何在音乐的世界里达到忘我的境界。 一到家，校长就大献殷勤。他请塞克哈尔坐在红丝毯上，敬上几样碟中美味，在旁边忙来忙去像是招待上门女婿。他甚至说：“你务必完全放松去听。别为那些试卷烦心。”然后不无幽默的加了一句：“我会给你一周的时间。” “十天怎么样，校长？”塞克哈尔请求。 “好，同意，”校长慷慨地说。塞克哈尔彻底松了口气——他可以一天干掉十份，彻底除掉这件烦心事。 校长点上熏香。“营造点气氛。”他解释说。鼓手和小提琴手已经到位，坐在缅甸仰光进口的小毯子上等他。校长在两人中间坐下来，像音乐会专业演出一般，清清喉咙，起了调子又停下来问：“可以吗，卡亚尼？（塞克哈尔的姓）”塞克哈尔假装没听到校长叫他。校长继

Unit1 Reading for information 1D 2C 3B 4A 5B 6C Translation 1 今天你们将离开培育你们的学术环境，直面真实的世界。 2 你们即将离开学校，终于可以开始接受教育了。 3 想找到一位保守的教授，那比要找到一个雪人还难。若想挑战一些有关政治正确性的正统观点，那你将污名缠身。 4 如果你不相信我的话，那不妨去问一问那些因信奉网络公司是通往财富之路这一理论而破产的人们。现实击碎了他们的梦想。 5 因此，欢迎你来到我们生活的这个理性的世界。一旦你把那些白日梦拒之门外，你就会发现这个世界并不是太糟。 Summary 1 emerge from/face the real world/go about 2 commitment to/benefit from 3 the enjoyment of reading/ was associated with 4 reallity/theory/realist/in theory 5 wishful thinking/ go for/wind up with/twists and turns Unit 2 Reading for information 1B 2A 3D 4C 5B 6D Translation 1 爱是一种艺术吗？如果是，它就需要靠知识和努力来争取。或者爱是一种愉快的感受，能否体验到它是机率问题，如果一个人运气好就能够“坠入爱河”？ 2 大多数人认为爱这个问题主要是被爱，而不是主动去爱，或者主动去爱的能力。因此，他们的问题便是如何被爱，怎么样变得招人爱。 3 关于爱没有什么可学，这一想法背后的第二个前提是一个假设，此假设认为爱的问题是对象的问题，而不是能力的问题。 4 我来做一笔交易：爱的对象从它的社会价值来看应该是最理想的，与此同时他也应该处于对我的显性的和隐性的资质和潜力的考虑而接纳我。 5 两个人变得很熟悉了，他们的亲密感越来越多地失去了神秘色彩，直到他们的对抗、失望和彼此的厌倦抹杀了最初兴奋感消逝后残留下来的点滴东西。 6 爱是再简单不过的事，这一观点至今仍然十分盛行，尽管有大量证据与此相悖。Summary 1 a matter of chance/learned about 2 is based on/primarily/how to be loved 3 assumption/the right object 4 leading to/initial excitement/permanent state 5 theorectical knowledge/ the mastery of the art
