全新版大学英语综合教程4课后翻译UNIT1攻势已经持续了三天,但是我们并没有取得多少进展。我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了强力的抵抗。师长(DIVISIONCOMMANDER)命令我们营(BATTALION)绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而,要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地(MARSHLAND)。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。我们在夜幕掩盖下出发,不顾困难,奋勇向前。幸运的是,夜间温度突然下降到摄氏零下20度,烂泥地都结上了冰。由于这寒冷的天气,我们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备,不久便投降了。Theoffensivehadalreadylastedthreedays,butwehadnotgainedmuchground.Ourtroopsengagingtheenemyatthefrontwerefacedwithstrong/fierce/stiffresistance.Thedivisioncommanderinstructedourbattaliontogetaroundtotherearoftheenemyandlaunchasurpriseattack.Todoso,wehadtocrossmarshlandandmanyofuswereafraidwemightgetboggeddowninthemud.Ourbattalioncommanderdecidedtotakeagamble.Westartedundercoverofdarknessandpressedoninspiteofgreatdifficulties.Byastrokeofluck,thetemperatureatnightsuddenlydroppedtominus20degreesCelsiusandthemarshfrozeover.Thankstothecoldweather,wearrivedatourdestinationbeforedawnandbeganattackingtheenemyfromtherear.Thisturnedthetideofthebattle.Theenemy,caughtoffguard,soonsurrendered.UNIT2汽车在二十世纪改变了世界,尤其是在美国和其他工业国家。汽车确实对我们大有用处,但也带来了一些危害,比如声音污染、空气污染以及公路死亡事故。据报导汽车事故被列为全世界导致死伤的主要原因之一。可庆幸的是,现代发明家们正在重新发明汽车。新的推进系统(PROPULSIONSYSTEM)、燃料、设计以及制造汽车的手段在过去的十年中得到迅速发展。例如,通过使用卫星辅助的全球定位系统,汽车里的计算机能给汽车精确定位;随着遥感器的应用,智能汽车能排除不少汽车事故。Automobileschangedtheworldduringthe20thcentury,particularlyintheUnitedStatesandotherindustrialisednations.Theyareindeedofgreatusetous,buttheybroughtsomehazardsaswell,suchasnoiseandairpollution,andhighwayfatalities.Itisreportedthatautomobileaccidentsrankamongtheleadingcausesofdeathandinjurythroughouttheworld.Fortunatelymoderninnovatorsarereinventingtheautomobile.Newpropulsionsystems,fuels,designs,andmeansofmanufacturingcarshavealldevelopedrapidlyinthepastdecade.Forexample,byusingthesatellite-aidedglobalpositioningsystem(GPS),acomputerintheautomobilecanlocatethevehicle'spreciseposition,andwiththeapplicationofsensors,smartcarscaneliminatemostcaraccidents.UNIT3常言道,好的开端是成功的一半。在求职时,求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。我认为,事先作不作准备常常会影响求职者的成功机会。我的一位朋友在一家计算机软件公司供职,年薪十万美元左右。他根据自己的经历告诉我说,那些对未来的雇员具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。那些没有在了解未来的雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望。Wellbegunishalfdone,asthesayinggoes.Itisextremelyimportantforajobapplicanttodohishomeworkwhileseekingemployment.Frommystandpoint,whetherornotonehasdonehishomeworkclearlymakesadifferenceinhischanceofsuccess.Ihaveafriendwhoisearningsomewhereintheneighbourhoodof100thousanddollarsayearinalargecomputersoftwarecompany.Hetoldmethatfromhisownexperiencethedecisionmakerswhointerviewprospectiveemployeeslikepeoplewhoarewellprepared.Thosewhomakenoendeavourtolearnasmuchabouthisprospectiveemployeraspossibledon'thavemuchofachanceofsuccess.UNIT4亨廷顿(Huntington)教授的论文使我深受启发。他认为,在一个多元化社会里,不同意见是不可避免的。关键在于怎样正确对待不同意见,使之发挥建设性、而非破坏性的作用。他还说,在一个多元化社会里,我们必须注重人际关系,强调合作,多从他人视角考虑问题。如果某些群体自视高人一等,不尊重其他种族或宗教,那么整个社会有可能陷入瘫痪。我相信,要是我们把上述想法付诸实践,那我们就有可能创造出一种新的文明。ProfessorHuntington'spapergreatlyinspiredme.Accordingtohim,inaplural/pluralisticsociety,therewillinevitablybedifferentopinions.Thekeyistodealwiththeminsuchawaythattheycanplayaconstructiveratherthandestructiverole.Hearguesthatinapluralsocietywemustattachimportancetointerpersonalrelationships,cooperation,andlookingatissuesfromtheperspectiveofotherpeople.Ifsomegroupsregardthemselvesassuperiorandtreatotherethnicgroupsorreligionswithdisrespect,thewholesocietymaybeparalysed.Iamconvincedthatifweputintopracticetheideasmentionedabove,thenthereisthepossibilityofcreatinganewcivilization.UNIT5就我来说,如果要雇个职员我肯定不会单凭他的长相就作出决定。外表往往是靠不住的。比如说吧,要是你凭外表去判断诸如毛姆笔下的爱德华·海德·伯顿这样的人,你就错了。从外表和举止来看,伯顿好像是个浑然一体的人。他个子很小,满头白发,有着一双温和、蔚蓝的眼睛。他文雅坦率,和蔼可亲,许多人都说他是个世上最令人尊敬的人。然而,他对需要他帮助的朋友却很残忍。他侮辱和愚弄山穷水尽的伦尼,让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是,他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问,他是个铁石心肠的家伙。Formyownpart,Ishouldcertainlyhesitatetohireaclerkonhisface/appearancealone.Appearancesarealltoooftendeceptive.Forinstance,youmightwellcommitanerrorinjudgementifyouwentbyappearanceonlywithpeoplelikeEdwardHydeBurton,thecharactercreatedbyMaugham.Asfarasappearanceandmannerswereconcerned,Burtonseemedamanallofapiece.Hewasatinylittlefellowwithwhitehairandmildblueeyes.Kind,gentleandcandid,hewasdescribedbymanyasoneofthemostrespectablepeopleonearth.Nevertheless,heturnedouttobecrueltoafriendinneedofhishelp.HeinsultedandfooledTurnerwhowasdownandoutandmadehimcommithimselftoaninsaneventure.WhatwasstillmoresurprisingwasthathewascompletelyindifferenttoTurner'sdeath.Withoutdoubt,Burtonwasamanwithaheartofstone.UNIT6无疑,我们现在处于持续的压力之下,要长时间工作,要创造更多,拥有更多,从而成为一名成功人士。于是乎,工作狂(WORKAHOLISM)——一种现在癖(ADDICTION),就这样出现了。工作狂其根源是基于这样一种认识:通过长时间的工作、完成更多的项目,我们便能提高我们的自身价值。许多妇女今天感到同样的压力,要创造,要出人头地,而与此同时,又要养育子女,承担起各种家庭责任。研究表明,工作狂往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长时间地劳作,仅留微乎其微的时间与我们所爱的人聚在一起、交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。Thereisnoquestionthattodayweareunderconstantpressuretoworklongerhours,toproducemore,topossessmore,andtobecomeasuccess.Workaholism,amodernaddiction,hasthusarisen.Thecauseofworkaholismistheperceptionthatbyworkinglongerhoursandcompletingmoreprojects,wewillenhanceourself-worth.Manywomentodayfeelthesamestresstoproduceandgetaheadand,atthesametime,tonurturetheiroffspringandshoulderavarietyofdomesticresponsibilities.Researchshowsthatworkaholismtendsto
