1、. . 1 / 7 牛津高中英語課文翻譯牛津高中英語模塊1 課文翻譯Unit 1 School life in the UK 英國校園生活Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. This means I could get

2、up an hour later than usual, as school in China begin before 8 a.m. 在英國上了一年的中學對我來說是一段非常令人愉快和興奮的經歷。我很滿意英國的上學時間，因為那里是大約9 點開始上學，下午3：30 放學，這意味著我可以比平常晚起床一個小時，因為在中國 8 點之前就開始上課了。On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. We

3、soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China. 在第一天，所有新生在學校禮堂集合，我坐在一個叫做戴安娜的女孩旁邊，我們很快就成為了好朋友。在集合期間，校長

4、告訴我們關于學校的規(guī)章制度，他還告訴我們，在學校要想贏得別人的尊重，最好的方法就是努力學習，取得高分，這一點聽起來跟中國的學校差不多。I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the

5、 average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names. 在過去的一年里，我有很多的老師，黑伍德先生，也就是我的班主任，對我很有幫助；我最喜歡的老師是伯爾克小姐， 我喜歡她教的英國文學課。 在我們班有 28個同學，這差不多是英國學校的平均

6、班額。我們在不同的教室上不同的課，上某些課的時候，班上的同學也不一樣，所以對我來說記住所有人的面孔和名字是一件難事。I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I e

7、njoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French. 我發(fā)現這里布置的家庭作業(yè)不像我以前在原來學校時那么繁重，可是一開始我還是覺得有點挑戰(zhàn)性，因為所有的作業(yè)都是英文的。讓我感到幸運的是，所有老師都給了我極大的鼓勵，也喜歡所學的科目：英語、歷史、英國文學，計算機，數學、科學、體育、藝術、烹飪和法語。My English improved a lot, as I used English every da

8、y and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send s to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prepare a

9、nd cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made. . . 2 / 7 我的英語提高了很多，因為我每天都使用英語而且我每天花一小時在圖書館看英語書，我經常在中午休息的時候去計算機俱樂部，這樣我就可以免費給國你的家人和朋友發(fā)了。我還在每周二的晚上有一節(jié)法語課，烹飪課也很有趣，因為我可以學到如何購買、準備和烹飪食物，在學期末，我們有舉行班

10、級聚會，我們都需要做一些食物，讓我很高興的是我同學都很喜歡我做的蛋糕。Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or languages such as Spanish and German. I

11、n the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much. 那里的學生必須要學數學、英語和科學，但是可以不學一些他們不喜歡的科目，例如歷史和法語。他們可以選擇像藝術和計算機技術等課程，或者像西班牙語和德語等語言類課程。在我修的藝術課上，我做了一個雕塑，盡管它完成時看起來不是很漂亮，但我仍然很喜歡它。I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch.

12、 British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass. 在吃中餐的時候， 我就很想念中國菜； 應該食物很不一樣， 英國人在他們的正餐后喜歡吃甜點。中餐

13、后，我們經常在學校的操場上玩耍，有時我和男孩子們一起踢足球，有時，我就在樹下或坐在草地上放松一下。I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again. 我很慶幸體驗到這種不同的生活方式，回顧我在英國度過的時光，我感到很滿意，我也很希望再回到曼徹斯特學習。Project 我們學校有一個廣播俱樂部。這個俱樂部的非常

14、之處在于它是由學生們自己為學校創(chuàng)辦的。我很幸運地成了其中的一名主持人。廣播俱樂部是兩年前創(chuàng)立的。有一天，我萌發(fā)了為大家播放音樂的念頭，于是我就問校長能否在休息時間給同學們播放音樂，校長同意了。兩年后，我作為元老負責校廣播俱樂部的工作。我們的俱樂部現在不只是播放音樂。每天早上我們向同學們播報天氣情況和時事新聞，還有老師們要我們播出的一些特別告示。到了考試的時候我們就會做一檔特別節(jié)目，告訴學生們復習迎考的須知。每當學年完畢的時候，許多即將畢業(yè)離校的學生就會借助我們的廣播俱樂部向他們的好友和老師留下畢業(yè)致辭。每逢家長來訪、與老師交談的時候，我們常常播放一些由學生們自己演唱的歌曲。我們還會廣播一些通知

15、，告訴家長們有關諸如遠足、校戲劇表演之類的活動訊息：畢業(yè)后，我會想念廣播俱樂部的， 但我知道，沒有我，它還會繼續(xù)辦下去的。（凱特瓊斯）我們的校俱樂部“下一代詩人”是由我們的英語老師歐文先生發(fā)起的一個文學俱樂部。每個月的最后一個星期五我們會聚在一起討論喜愛的詩歌和詩人。聚會的時候，我們首先挑選出我們喜愛的詩歌，然后朗誦這些詩歌。我們還在聚會時討論詩歌。我第一次參加聚會的時候，被要求寫一首詩，還得當著俱樂部成員的面進行朗誦。起初我覺得有些緊，但所有的成員都是那么親切、支好，我很快就不擔心了。有一次，我在學校. . 3 / 7 花園里朗誦了一首表現大自然的詩歌。朗誦前我選擇了一棵老樹，把大家都聚集在

16、樹下。俱樂部成員們都說那是他們聽過的最好的詩歌之一。（鮑勃肖）Unit 2Reading 小鬼當家Act One 第一幕Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected.

Day by day, ever

29、ything seems different, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control. Has anyone else ever felt this way? 很多青少年感到孤獨，好像沒有人理解他們以與他們正在經歷的變化。日子一天天過去，而所有事情似乎都是不同的，可又都是一成不變的。生活似乎從不過得足夠快；而從別的方面看，

30、生活似乎過得太快甚至于失控，像開賽車一樣。別的人也有過同感么？. . 5 / 7 These feelings are a common part of adolescence the time of life between child and adult.

31、ith you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing pains the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults. 這些感覺是青春期介于孩童和成人之間的人生階段的正常組成部分。而且，雖然有時難以相信，并非只有你才是這樣每一個成年人都經歷過青春期，而你的朋友和你一樣正經歷這個階段。對青少年而言，感到孤獨和被誤解是很普遍的。這些情感可以看作是成長的煩惱是青

32、少年邁向成年時所面對的困難。As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments. 在青少年成長的時候，對自己無論體還是體外的狀態(tài)變化感到

33、困惑對他們而言是正?，F象。在青春期，青少年經歷著身體上的巨大變化。他們個子長高，聲音變低，還有很多其他的成長發(fā)育。Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers they want to find their own limits and the limits of the world around them, but may not

34、have the wisdom to make good choices in their behavior. At the same time, girls often want someone anyone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings. 與這些生理變化同時而來的，還有很多心理上的變化。男孩和女孩在這方面往往有所不同。很多男孩成為危險嘗試者他們希望找到自己的局限和他們周邊世界的局限，但也許并不具有對其行為作出正確抉擇的智慧。而與此同時，女孩則通常需要和某個人或任何人進行交談，因為她們試圖面對自己強烈的情

35、感。In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group, yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they

36、 are and how they fit in society. 在大千社會中，隨著青少年長大，他們努力地自力更生。他們或許迫切需要父母的關愛，卻又感覺疏遠；他們或許想要成為團體的一員，但又渴望獨立。正因為青少年們在平衡這些需要時有困難，所以他們經常質疑自己到底是誰以與怎樣融入社會。The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the end everything turns out OK the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of c
