56.人与环境 Man and His EnvironmentThroughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands and prairies into farms and made lakes and reservirs out of rivers for errigation purpose or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways. However, man’s changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrouding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless. Now environment protecion is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destrucion of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man’s existence. Indifference to theses problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws pssed to conserve environment. Otherwise, man is certain to sufer from the serous consequences caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings. words: alterv.改变 featuren.特征，容貌，特色，特写 transformv.转换，改变，改造 woodlandn.森林地，林地 prairien.大草原，牧场 reservoirn.水库，蓄水池 irrigationn.灌溉，冲洗 hydroelectricadj.水力电气的 modifyv.更改，修改 drainv.排水，流干 marshn.湿地，沼泽，沼泽地 beneficialadj.有益的，受益的 exhaustn.废气口，废气 vehiclen.交通工具，车辆，媒介物 industrializev.使工业化 ecologicaladj.生态学的，社会生态学的 pressingadj.紧迫的 massiveadj.厚重的，大快的 negativeadj.否定的，消极的，负的 indifferencen.不关心 译文： 在历史的长河中，人类韦了提高生存条件不断改变者周围的自然环境。人们借助技术工具已经改变了地球的自然特征。他们把森林和草原变成了农田，使讲和变成了湖泊和水库，用语灌溉和水利发电所许。他们还牌干沼泽，开山修建公路和铁路，这些都改变了地球的面貌。 然而，人们改变自然环境的结果并不总是有益的。如今，大气和水的污染越来越严重地危害着地球的健康。每天，激动车辆牌坊出成千上万吨废气。工厂释放的厌恶污染了工业区的空气，也污染了周围乡村的空气。水的污染也同样有还。海洋的整个生态平衡已经改变了，工业废水已使狠多河流的生物死亡。 现在，环境保护的问题比以往更韦迫切。我们都知道，对环境的大规模破坏已经带来了跗面影响，甚至对人类的生存也带来了极大的威胁。模式这些问题无意于自杀。所以，应该采取有效的措施并办法保护环境的法令。否则，人类势必遭受因期不关心生存环境尔引起的严重后果之苦。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-8 20:19 编辑 ] |

87.I Have a Dream(我有一个梦想)① I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creeed:"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and sons of former slaves-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream— That one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis fo freedom and justice; I have a dream— That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will nott be judged by the color of their skin but by content of their character; I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullificaion, one day right here there in Alabama liitle black boys and black girls will be able to jion hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers;I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, and rough places will be made plane and crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. words frustationn.挫败，挫折，受挫 creedn.信条 bortherhoodn.手足情谊，兄弟关系 swelteringadj.闷热的，中暑的，酷热的 injusticen.不公平，不讲道义 oppressionn.压迫，镇压，压抑，苦恼 oasisn.（沙漠中）绿洲 viciousadj.恶的，不道德的，恶意的，刻毒的 racistn.种族主义者 interpositionn.插入，干涉，干预 nullificationn.无效，废弃，取消 exaltv.提升，晋升 crookedadj.弯曲的，拐骗的 gloryn.荣誉，光荣 fleshn.肉，人体 ①1963年8月28日在华盛顿林肯纪念堂举行的"为工作的自由进军"是民权运动的重要里程碑.那天最激励人心的,是马丁·路德·金牧师代表南方基督教领导会议所作的讲演.一位新闻记者指出,金氏的演讲"充满林肯和甘地精神的象征和圣经的韵律".他既义正严词又有节制;公开宣扬——这是其基本哲学的一部分——非暴力的改革途径；并且侃侃陈词，雄辩有力。在60年代和70年代，美国国会、总统和法院将金氏在讲演中提到的各种法律障碍解除了。 译文： 朋友们，今天我要对你们说，尽管眼下存在着困难和挫折，但我依然有一个梦想。这个梦深植于美国梦之中。 我有一个梦想，总有一天这个国家将会奋起，实践其民族信条的真谛：“人人生而平等，我们认为这些真理不言而喻。” 我有一个梦想，总有一天在佐治亚洲的红色山冈上，昔日奴隶的子弟和昔日奴隶主的子弟能够情同手足地同坐一堂；我有一个梦想—— 总有一天即使密西西比州这个充满不公和压迫的热浪灼人的荒漠之州，也会改变成一个自由和公正的绿洲；我有一个梦想—— 总有一天我的四个孩子能够生活在一个根据内在品质而不看肤色对他们进行评判的国家里。今天我有一个梦想。 我有一个梦想，总有一天亚拉巴马州会有所改变——尽管那儿的种族主义者恶毒凶残，尽管该州的州长口口声声说什么要干预和废除，总有一天那儿黑人儿童能够和白人儿童如同兄弟姐妹一样携手同行；今天我有一个梦想。 我有一个梦想，总有一天深谷弥合，高山夷平，歧路化坦途，曲径成通衢，上帝的光辉终将重现，普天生灵共谒。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-8 20:20 编辑 ] |

40.Declaration of Independence(独立宣言) we hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with ceatain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. —That, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Rights of the People to alter or to abolish it, and institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. words self-evidentadj.自明的，不证自明的 unalienableadj.（古）不可剥夺的 libertyn.自由，特权 institutev.创立，制定 derivev.得自 consentn.同意，赞成 destuctiveadj.破坏（性）的 alterv.改变，修改 abolishv.废除，废止 译文： 我们认为以下的真理是不言而喻的：人人生而平等，造物主赋予每个人一些不可剥夺的权利，包括生命、自由和追求幸福的权力。政府的成立乃是为了保障这些权力，政权则由人民授权而来。对于无法保障这些权利的政府，人民有权改变或废除，进而建立新政府，并采取此原则为基础，以次方式组织权力，因为这是最有可能实现安全与幸福的方法。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-8 20:20 编辑 ] |

A4.What kind of Man Do You Wish to Be? What kind of man you wish to be you will be. Oh! What a glorious saying this is! But can we really attain our aims if we only wish? Of course, the answer is in the negative. You may become a lawyer only after you have mastered laws, a merchant only after you have had commercial experience, and a general only after you have learnt military tactics. In short, you may become what you wish to be only if you possess the necessary ability and knowledge. Every boy should ask himself this question, "What kind of man do I wish to be in the future, a scholar, a merchant, a farmer, or a workman?" Having settled that question, one should hold to one's purpose with firmness and unfaltering devotion. Having one objective today and another objective tomorrow is very bad. Success comes only after struggles with natural obstacles. 词汇 merchantn.商人 commerciala.商业的;贸易的 militaya.军事的;军用的 possessv.拥有;占有 settlev.解决;决定 firmnessv.坚定;稳固 unfalteringa.毫不动摇;坚决的 objectiven.目标;目的 注释 in short: 总之;简而言之 hold to: 坚持;紧握 译文 你希望成为什么样的人? 你希望成为什么样的人，你就会成为什么样的人。噢,这是多么好的一则谚语!但是如果我们只希望成为什么样的人,我们就能达到目的吗?当然,答案是否定的. 只有在你掌握了法律之后你才可能成为一名律师,只有在你有了经商经验之后你才可能成为一名商人,只有在你学会了军事战术之后你才可能成为一名将军。总之，你只有具备了必要的能力和知识才可能成为你希望成为的人。 每个男孩儿都应该问自己这样一个问题：“我希望将来自己成为一个什么样的人，学者、商人、农民，还是工人？” 在确定了这个问题的答案之后，就应该毫不动摇地坚持目标，并为之不懈努力。今天一个目标，明天又一个目标是不行的。成功只有在与自然障碍的斗争中才能取得。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-8 20:20 编辑 ] |

1.Moral and Intellect Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify a chance and seize it, but the many funcions of intellcet are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and morality. We care. It is our curse. It is our blessing. I often hear people say" I have to find myself." What he really means is "I have to make myself." Life is an endlessly creative experience, and we are making ourselves every moment by every decision we make. 词汇 intellectn.智力 insufficienta.不够的 compassionn.同情;怜悯 cursen.祸因;祸根 注释 get by: 侥幸过关 make oneself: 塑造自我 译文 道德与智力 有人认为只有智力最有价值：知道如何解决问题，如何侥幸过关，如何识别机遇并抓住它。但如果没有勇气、爱、友谊、同情和道德，智力的功能再多也是不够的。 我们很在意这一点。既是我们的祸因，也是我们的福祉。我经常听人说“我要找到自己”。他真正的意思是“我要塑造我自己”。生活是个无止境的创造性的经历，我们每一刻都在用我们做出的每个决定塑造我们自己。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-7 21:26 编辑 ] |

U2-2.Preserve Your Own Purity(洁身自好) Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what other people think or say or do. it is more important than appearance, gift or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is to play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. 词汇 purityn.纯洁;纯净 pastn.往事;经历 regardingprep.关于 embracev.拥抱 inevitablen.不可避免的;必然的 stringn.(乐器上的)弦 注释 in a certain way: 以某种方式 play on: 继续演奏 译文 态度比经历、教育、金钱、环境更重要，比他人想什么、说什么或做什么更重要，也比外表、天赋或技能更重要。它会成就或毁掉一个公司、一个教会或者一个家庭。 值得注意的是，我们每天都要为那一天我们即将采取的态度做出选择。我们无法改变我们的过去；我们无法改变日呢么会以某种方式行事的事实；我们无法改变不可避免的事。我们唯一能做到的事就是在我们拥有的唯一的琴弦上弹奏，而这就是我们的态度。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-7 21:27 编辑 ] |

U2-5.Bravery(勇敢) Bravery does not require us to hurt and kill. If it requires us to hurt and kill it would be a terrible thing. Is it brave to try to save life? Thousands of brave men are risking their lives every day to help men and to save them all from harm. Brave doctors and nurses go where deadly diease is and are not afraid to help save the sick. Brave students are trying perilous experiments so as to find out better knowledge for human race. Brave engineers on thousands of locomotives are not afraid of sudden death if they can save their passengers from harmful accidents. Brave sailors are always facing the sea and the storm. Brave firemen stand ready to die to bring little children safely out of burning buildings. Brave boys every summer risk their lives to save their classmates from drowning. Brave fellows hold in check maddened horses and prevent them from running into any child. Brave women risk their own lives daily for the sake of others. Indeed, all these are brave actions and it is bravery to try to sabe life. 词汇 deadlya.致命的 perilousa.危险的 locomotiven.机车;火车头 drowningn.溺死 maddeneda.发狂的 注释 risk one's life: 冒生命危险 hold in check: 制止;控制 for the sake of: 为了 译文 勇敢并不需要我们伤害和杀死什么生命。如果它需要我们伤害和杀死什么生命，那么它就是一个可怕的东西。设法拯救生命是勇敢吗？数以千计的人们每天冒着生命危险救人，使他们免于受到伤害。勇敢的医生和护士到有致命疾病的地方，勇于抢救病人。勇敢的学生正在做危险的实验，以便为人类获取更多的知识。 在机车上的数以千计的勇敢的机械师们，如果他们能够把乘客从恶性事故中抢救出来，他们就不怕突然的死亡。勇敢的水手总是面对着大海和风暴；勇敢的消防员为了把小孩儿从着火的大楼里抢救到安全的地方，时刻准备着牺牲自己；勇敢的男孩儿每年夏天冒着生命危险抢救溺水的同学；勇敢的小伙子控制住狂奔的野马，阻止它们冲向任何孩子；勇敢的妇女为了别人每天自己冒着生命危险。的确，所有这些都是勇敢的行为。设法拯救人的生命就是勇敢。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-7 21:27 编辑 ] |

U3-3.No Pains, No Gains（不劳无获） The height which great men reach and keep is not attained by a sudden flight. Most of us feel envious of the famous and successful man. We do not understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks. In our misconception, we think that people are prosperous because they are especially gifted or that they are "just lucky". All these have taken root in our stubborn minds, and we refuse to believe that most great men have a mind which is the same as, or even simpler and duller than that of ours. Yet, their triumphs are great. Why? Because they are apt to fight difficulties with perseverance and without fatigue, undergo suffering without minding the wouds; they realize that hardship form the road which they pass through before reaching their destination. Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life. 词汇 flightn.飞跃；飞快的动作 enviousa.忌妒的；羡慕的 misconceptionn.误解 prosperousa.成功的；富有的 fatiguen.疲劳 undergov.经历；遭受 endurancen.忍耐（力）；持久（力） submitv.甘受 注释 feel envious of : 忌妒……；羡慕…… take root in: 扎根 be apt to: 易于；倾向于 pass through: 经过；通过 译文 伟人们所取得的巨大成就并不是一蹴而就的。 我们大多数人都羡慕有名望、有成就的人。我们不明白为什么他们这么著名、获得这么高的荣誉，而我们只是平平凡凡的普通人。我们错误地认为，他们成功是因为他们有天生的特殊才能或仅仅是“交了好运”。 这些错误的观念在我们头脑中根深蒂固，我们决不相信大多数伟人的头脑跟我们自己的完全一样，或者比我们自己的还要简单、还要愚笨。 然而，他们的成就是巨大的。原因何在？因为他们愿与困难做不屈不挠的斗争而不知疲倦，经得起磨难而不在乎伤痛；他们知道苦难是到达目的地的必经之路。他们的承受力比我们的要强得多，原因很简单，他们毫无怨言地承受着生活中每次风暴的打击。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-7 21:28 编辑 ] |

U6-1.On Books Books are of various kinds and have different contents. We have history books recording past events, geography books dealing with the earth, mathematics books focousing on space and numbers, language books studying the means of communication, and literary books reflecting social problems. In a word, we have various books dealing with different things in the world. Reading books can enrich our knowledge. A famous critic once said,"A good book is a present the writer left to us." With the present, we can learn lots of things we did not previously know, be aware of what has happened in the past as well as what is going to happen in the future, or gain selfunderstanding. Because "art is long and life is short", it's impossible for a man to learn everything through his own experience, while books can help him to achieve his purpose. However, some books can be harmful, namely, the unhealthy books (pornographic books, etc.). In those unhealthy books, there might be much description about violence, superstition and sex. People who are taken up by such books will be dispirited and they may commit crimes. So it is said that a critical point of view is important in reading a book. 词汇 contentn.内容；容量；目录 enrichv.使富足；使丰富 previouslyad.先前；以前 pornographica.色情的；色情作品的 descriptionn.描写 superstitionn.迷信 dispiriteda.沮丧的；气馁的 commitv.犯（错误）；干（坏事） 注释 1.deal with:涉及；关于 2.be aware of:意识到；知道 3.take up:（时间，注意等）被……占用 4.commit a crime:犯罪 5.point of view:观点 译文 论书籍 书籍种类繁多，内容各异。我们有记录过去事件的历史方面的书、探索地球的地理方面的书、研究空间和数目的有关数学的书、研究交际手段的语言方面的书和反映社会问题的文学方面的书。总之，我们有研究世界不同事物的各种各样的书。 读书可以丰富我们的知识。一位著名的评论家曾说：“一本好书就是作家送给我们的一件礼物。”这个礼物可以使我们学会许多以前不懂的知识，使我们不仅可以知道以前发生过什么事情，还可以知道将来会发生什么事情，或者使我们了解自己。因为“艺术是长久的，而生命是短暂的”，所以一个人想通过自己的亲生经历学会各种知识是不可能的，而书籍可以帮助人达到目的。 不过，有些书籍可能对人有害，即那些不健康的书（黄色书籍等）。那些不健康的书里可能包含许多关于暴力和色情的描写。沉迷于这种书的人可能会精神颓废，也许还会犯罪。所以说，在读书的时候持批判的观点很重要。 [ 本帖最后由 zhenru 于 2008-10-8 20:08 编辑 ] |
