大學(xué)英語精讀5課后翻譯答案.doc

Unit 1掌握大量的詞匯對于達到一門外語的流利程度是至關(guān)重要的。一個非官方的但卻是經(jīng)常被引用的有關(guān)劍橋處級證書英語考試Cambridge First Certificate examination的數(shù)字表明，詞匯量少于三千五百詞的學(xué)生不大可能在這項考試中成功。最近的研究也表明，其母語為英語的受教育至18歲或18歲以上的人至少認識一萬六千個英語詞。除非你已經(jīng)會講一種像西班牙語或德育這樣的語言，要獲得打的英語詞匯是沒有捷徑可走的：你就得依靠勤奮和專注，當(dāng)然，你可以從上下文猜出你閱讀中遇到的一些生詞的意思，但往往你得查字典才能搞清他們的確切意思。一個切實可行的學(xué)習(xí)新詞的方法或許就是大量閱讀，最好是讀那些你覺得有趣或刺激的故事。反復(fù)閱讀同一本書常常是很有好處的：你每賭一次都會學(xué)到不同的生詞，而熟悉的背景又有助于將這些新詞牢牢地印在你的腦海中。Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind. Unit 2我認為向他求助是不現(xiàn)實的。實際上，他自己也需要幫助。1. I dont think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.越來越多的人整正在意識到與空氣污染做斗爭的迫切需要。2.

There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime - at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 4許多家長非但不放任，相反卻給他們的孩子施加巨大的壓力，要他們樣樣都優(yōu)秀1.

They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeed a leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us.Unit 6一天，我們收到一份去參加我父親生日宴會的請?zhí)Ｕ材菡J為我父親是在主動向我伸出手來求和，我們應(yīng)該接受邀請。我當(dāng)時正忙于摘錄有個重要案例，忙著對付即將來臨的考試，所以我只用最簡單闡明了的話告訴她永遠不會有和解的一天。我的拒絕顯然使詹妮很不高興，但作為一個理智的女人，她并沒有跟我爭吵，他只是盡量試圖說服我。但這反而使我滿腔怒火，以為詹妮實在故意惹我心煩。我當(dāng)時準(zhǔn)是瘋了，因為我做了意見我永遠不會原諒自己的事情我對這詹妮大聲叫嚷，把電話對著她扔去。但我剛?cè)映鋈ゾ秃蠡诹?。?dāng)我轉(zhuǎn)身去看詹妮時，她已經(jīng)不在了。我出去到處尋找，但那里也找不到詹妮。我嚇得要死，不知道接下來該怎么辦。當(dāng)我正準(zhǔn)備放棄努力時，突然看到詹妮坐在我們的房前。我走到她身邊說：“詹妮，對不起。”但她打斷了我的道歉，說：“愛就意味著永遠不必說對不起?！監(jiān)ne day, we received an invitation to my fathers birthday party. Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for a reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just told her in the simplest terms that there would never be a reconciliation. My refusal obviously made Jenny very upset, but being a rational woman she didnt quarrel with me. She just tried hard to persuade me. But this only filled me with fury, thinking that Jenny was just upsetting me deliberately. I must have gone out of my mind for I did something for which I would never forgive myself - I yelled at Jenny and hurled the phone at her. But the instant I did it I regretted. And when I turned to look at her, she was already gone. I went out and searched everywhere but Jenny was nowhere to be found. I was scared to death, not knowing what to do next.
