1、全新版大學(xué)英語綜合教程4課后翻譯UNIT 1攻勢已經(jīng)持續(xù)了三天，但是我們并沒有取得多少進(jìn)展。我們?cè)谇熬€與敵人交戰(zhàn)的部隊(duì)遇到了強(qiáng)力的抵抗。師長（DIVISION COMMANDER）命令我們營（BATTALION）繞到敵人后方發(fā)起突然襲擊。然而，要繞到敵人后方，我們必須越過一片沼澤地（MARSHLAND）。我們很多人擔(dān)心會(huì)陷入泥潭之中。我們營長決定冒一下險(xiǎn)。我們?cè)谝鼓谎谏w下出發(fā)，不顧困難，奮勇向前。幸運(yùn)的是，夜間溫度突然下降到攝氏零下20度，爛泥地都結(jié)上了冰。由于這寒冷的天氣，我們于天亮前到達(dá)并從敵人后方發(fā)起進(jìn)攻。這一下扭轉(zhuǎn)了戰(zhàn)局。敵人沒有戒備，不久便投降了。The offensive had

2、already lasted three days,but we had not gained much ground.Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance.The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack.To do so,we had to cross marshland

3、 and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud.Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble.We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties.By a stroke of luck,the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh fr

4、oze over.Thanks to the cold weather,we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear.This turned the tide of the battle.The enemy,caught off guard,soon surrendered.UNIT 2汽車在二十世紀(jì)改變了世界，尤其是在美國和其他工業(yè)國家。汽車確實(shí)對(duì)我們大有用處，但也帶來了一些危害，比如聲音污染、空氣污染以及公路死亡事故。據(jù)報(bào)導(dǎo)汽車事故被列為全世界導(dǎo)致死傷的主要原因之一

5、。可慶幸的是，現(xiàn)代發(fā)明家們正在重新發(fā)明汽車。新的推進(jìn)系統(tǒng)（PROPULSION SYSTEM）、燃料、設(shè)計(jì)以及制造汽車的手段在過去的十年中得到迅速發(fā)展。例如，通過使用衛(wèi)星輔助的全球定位系統(tǒng)，汽車?yán)锏挠?jì)算機(jī)能給汽車精確定位；隨著遙感器的應(yīng)用，智能汽車能排除不少汽車事故。Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century,particularly in the United States and other industrialised nations.They are indeed of great use to us,but they b

7、ns of manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade.For example,by using the satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS),a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position,and with the application of sensors,smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.U

8、NIT 3常言道，好的開端是成功的一半。在求職時(shí)，求職者事先做好充分的準(zhǔn)備是非常重要的。我認(rèn)為，事先作不作準(zhǔn)備常常會(huì)影響求職者的成功機(jī)會(huì)。我的一位朋友在一家計(jì)算機(jī)軟件公司供職，年薪十萬美元左右。他根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)歷告訴我說，那些對(duì)未來的雇員具有錄用決定權(quán)的人喜歡有充分準(zhǔn)備的人。那些沒有在了解未來的雇主方面盡全力的人很難有成功的希望。Well begun is half done,as the saying goes.It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.Fr

9、om my standpoint,whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100 thousand dollars a year in a large computer software company.He told me that from his own experience the decision makers

10、who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared.Those who make no endeavour to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success.UNIT 4亨廷頓（Huntington）教授的論文使我深受啟發(fā)。他認(rèn)為，在一個(gè)多元化社會(huì)里，不同意見是不可避免的。關(guān)鍵在于怎樣正確對(duì)待不同意見，使之發(fā)揮建設(shè)性、而非破壞性的作用。他還說，在一個(gè)多元

11、化社會(huì)里，我們必須注重人際關(guān)系，強(qiáng)調(diào)合作，多從他人視角考慮問題。如果某些群體自視高人一等，不尊重其他種族或宗教，那么整個(gè)社會(huì)有可能陷入癱瘓。我相信，要是我們把上述想法付諸實(shí)踐，那我們就有可能創(chuàng)造出一種新的文明。Professor Huntington's paper greatly inspired me.According to him,in a plural/pluralistic society,there will inevitably be different opinions.The key is to deal with them in such a way that t

12、hey can play a constructive rather than destructive role.He argues that in a plural society we must attach importance to interpersonal relationships,cooperation,and looking at issues from the perspective of other people.If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or re

13、ligions with disrespect,the whole society may be paralysed.I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above,then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization.UNIT 5就我來說，如果要雇個(gè)職員我肯定不會(huì)單憑他的長相就作出決定。外表往往是靠不住的。比如說吧，要是你憑外表去判斷諸如毛姆筆下的愛德華·海德·伯頓這樣的人，你就錯(cuò)了。從外表和舉止來看，伯頓好像是個(gè)

14、渾然一體的人。他個(gè)子很小，滿頭白發(fā)，有著一雙溫和、蔚藍(lán)的眼睛。他文雅坦率，和藹可親，許多人都說他是個(gè)世上最令人尊敬的人。然而，他對(duì)需要他幫助的朋友卻很殘忍。他侮辱和愚弄山窮水盡的倫尼，讓他去做那樣的蠢事。更讓人吃驚的是，他對(duì)倫尼的死全然冷漠無情。毫無疑問，他是個(gè)鐵石心腸的家伙。For my own part,I should certainly hesitate to hire a clerk on his face/appearance alone.Appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance,you might well comm

15、it an error in judgement if you went by appearance only with people like Edward Hyde Burton,the character created by Maugham.As far as appearance and manners were concerned,Burton seemed a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes.Kind,gentle and candid,he was

16、 described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth.Nevertheless,he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help.He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.What was still more surprising was that he was completely indif

17、ferent to Turner's death.Without doubt,Burton was a man with a heart of stone.UNIT 6無疑，我們現(xiàn)在處于持續(xù)的壓力之下，要長時(shí)間工作，要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造更多，擁有更多，從而成為一名成功人士。于是乎，工作狂（WORKAHOLISM）一種現(xiàn)在癖（ADDICTION），就這樣出現(xiàn)了。工作狂其根源是基于這樣一種認(rèn)識(shí)：通過長時(shí)間的工作、完成更多的項(xiàng)目，我們便能提高我們的自身價(jià)值。許多婦女今天感到同樣的壓力，要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造，要出人頭地，而與此同時(shí)，又要養(yǎng)育子女，承擔(dān)起各種家庭責(zé)任。研究表明，工作狂往往使我們與家人的關(guān)系疏遠(yuǎn)。它會(huì)迫使我們

18、長時(shí)間地勞作，僅留微乎其微的時(shí)間與我們所愛的人聚在一起、交流感情。家庭成員間的親密關(guān)系在此過程中注定要消亡。There is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours,to produce more,to possess more,and to become a success.Workaholism,a modern addiction,has thus arisen.The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working

19、longer hours and completing more projects,we will enhance our self-worth.Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and,at the same time,to nurture their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from immedi

20、ate families.It forces us labour longer and longer hours,leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.UNIT 7昨天上午十時(shí)在城東200公里處的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)發(fā)生了強(qiáng)烈地震。來自該地區(qū)的初步報(bào)告表明這次地震造成了廣泛的破壞和重大的人員傷亡。死傷人員中包括許多青少年。但是，究竟有

21、多少人傷亡，目前尚不清楚，因?yàn)檎麄€(gè)地區(qū)都淹沒在瓦礫（RUBBLE）之中。然而有一點(diǎn)是肯定的，許多幸存者將要忍受多年的痛苦和不幸。這件事傳遞的死亡信息極大地震撼了當(dāng)?shù)厝耍恍┬沤痰娜司奂谝黄鹌砬筮@樣的事情永遠(yuǎn)再也不要發(fā)生。A severe earthquake occurred all of a sudden at 10 a.m. Yesterday in a rural area,about 200 kilometers east of the city.Initial reports coming out of the region indicate the earthquake has

22、caused widespread devastation and heavy casualties.Many adolescents were among those injured or killed.Yet it remains obscure exactly how many people were hurt and killed as the entire area has been enveloped in rubble.However,one thing is certain:many of the survivors may face years of pain and suf

23、fering.Local people were clearly shaken by this reminder of their mortality.Some religious ones have gathered to pray that it will never recur.UNIT 8上星期三，我和我的同學(xué)卡羅林一起游覽了周莊，那是一個(gè)四周環(huán)水的著名城鎮(zhèn)。當(dāng)我們到達(dá)鎮(zhèn)上時(shí)，卡羅林激動(dòng)地向她看見的第一座橋飛奔過去，然后便在那里高聲唱了起來。突然她的嗓音靜了下來，原來她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己驚動(dòng)了離我們不遠(yuǎn)處的一群鴨子。當(dāng)時(shí)卡羅林太想乘船了，于是我們決定坐船游覽該鎮(zhèn)。卡羅林跟河里所有的動(dòng)物時(shí)而高聲、時(shí)而低語地說著話并且不停地瞎忙乎，而我則默默地看著船兒在水面上輕輕地滑過。雖然我們沒有見到任何壯觀的景物，我們享受了在這個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離大城市喧囂的鎮(zhèn)里度過的每一分鐘。周莊是值得游覽的。如果有時(shí)間，我還想再次去那里。Last Wednesday my classmate Caroli
