新標準大學英語4翻譯答案

1、新標準大學英語4翻譯答案Unit 1我認為，選修第二專業(yè)并不適合每一位本科生。我大學本科主修英語專業(yè)，大一時就開始輔修經(jīng)濟學了。無疑，我是班里最用功的學生。我竭盡全力想同時達到兩個不同專業(yè)的要求，但還是有不及格的時候。因為經(jīng)濟學需要良好的數(shù)學基礎，我不得不花大量時間鉆研數(shù)學，因而忽略了英語學習。第二學期,英國文學及宏觀經(jīng)濟學兩門課不及格給我敲響了警鐘，這可是我一生中第一次考試不及格，這大大打擊了我的自信心。雖然我不是一個容易向命運低頭的人，在暑假結束的時候，我還是決定放棄經(jīng)濟學，以免兩個專業(yè)都難以完成。當我只需修一個專業(yè)的時候，一切似乎又回到了正軌。(if you ask me; by all

3、ing student in my class. But try as I might to meet the requirements of the two different subjects, I still couldn't do well enough to pass all the exams. Given that the study of economics required a good command of mathematics, I had to spend so much time on math that I neglected my English.Fai

4、ling English Literature and Macroeconomics in the second term sounded the alarm for me. This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my confidence. Although I was not a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up

5、 economics for fear that I would fail both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to, everything seemed to be on the right track again.Unit 2張磊是在畢業(yè)工作后才開始意識到讀書的樂趣的。反思自己的大學教育時，他感慨不已：他的一些同學都沉浸于從圖書館或書店找到的各種有趣的書籍，而他卻只讀了一些教科書，其中連一本真正值得一讀、讓他愛不釋手的書都沒有。他可以說是被剝奪了通過書了解作家奇妙世界的特權。如今，他嗜書如命，廢寢忘食，好像要把大

6、學期間沒機會讀的好書全都讀一遍。到目前為止他已經(jīng)利用業(yè)余時間讀了幾百本小說、傳記和游記。他意識到書不僅能向他展示一個充滿希望的前景，幫他消除現(xiàn)實生活中的壓力和疲勞，而且能夠幫他澄清一些誤解，找到生活的真諦。(reflect on; immerse in; lay hands on; worthwhile; in one sitting; so to speak; vista; withstand)It was not until after he had graduated from university and started to work that Zhang Lei became aw

He realizes that books can not only reveal to him the vista of a hopeful future and help him withstand stresses and strains, they can also

10、help him clear up some misconceptions and discover the true meaning of life.Unit 3一個人的穿著似乎能影響他的行為方式。譬如，在校內要穿校服是中小學生所必須嚴格遵守的規(guī)矩之一。倘若在學生著裝整齊劃一和行為的統(tǒng)一規(guī)范之間不存在一種象征性關聯(lián)的話，校服便不可能如此盛行。然而，多年的學校生活讓學生在內心里對隨處可見的校服產(chǎn)生了抵觸情緒，校服畢竟壓制了個性的表達。為了彌補這種損失，學生常常會在周末穿流行的休閑裝。直到上了大學，他們才會享受真正的著裝自由，而服裝上的無序與大學培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力、鼓勵自由表達思想及展露才華密切相關?？?/p>

11、惜這樣的好景不會太長，經(jīng)過一段相對短暫的自由之后，他們在畢業(yè)工作之后將再次經(jīng)歷著裝規(guī)范的壓力。(hard and fast; there is no doubt that; currency; correlation; backlash; ubiquitous; compensate for; anarchy; obtain; revive)What you wear seems to dictate your behaviour. Take primary school and high school students for example. One of the hard and fas

12、t rules they have to observe is that they must wear uniforms at school. There is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and the students' conformity to some common code of conduct.However, after years

13、of school life, there is always a backlash secretly nursed in the students' mind against the ubiquitous uniform which suppresses the expression of individuality. To compensate for this loss, students usually wear more casual and popular clothes on weekends. It is not until they start university,

14、 however, that they can really enjoy the freedom of dress, an anarchy associated with the cultivation of creativity and the encouragement of free expression of ideas and talents. But this situation won't obtain for long. After a relatively short time of liberty, they may experience again the rev

16、這種方法恐怕不太可行。要推進社團活動，同時又不使經(jīng)費超支，我們必須群策群力，拿出別的籌錢方法，而不是僅僅依賴學校撥款和會員費。(when it comes to; carve out; pare down; cut back on; bottom line; go into the red; pool; in lieu of)When it comes to the effects of the current economic downturn, the decrease of student activities is a good case in point. To enliven ca

17、mpus life, the university is always willing to carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies, but such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget cut. Apparently, student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to r

Some suggest enrolling more club members, on the ground that the consequent increase of membership fees may help them get out of the difficulty.No doubt, if we have more members paying the annual fee, and if we cut back on our daily expenses, we can s

19、pare some money to organize activities. But the bottom line is that the expenses of these activities are in proportion to the number of participants. I'm afraid this won't be of much help. To boost student activities and to avoid going into the red, we still need to pool our ideas and come u

20、p with some other ways of raising money, in lieu of just relying on university grants and membership fees.Unit 5我們對理想丈夫或理想妻子的假設顯示出我們的性別期待以及我們對性別期待的反應。如果大多數(shù)年輕姑娘希望她們的未婚夫強悍、能干、可靠，那么小伙子們也就別無選擇，只能把自己訓練得強悍、能干、可靠，這樣才能贏得女孩子的芳心。如果他們的做法與性別期待背道而馳，那么他們很可能會在悲嘆自己的光棍生涯中度過下半輩子。根據(jù)同樣的不成文法則，如果多數(shù)年輕男子希望他們的未婚妻溫柔體貼、耐心、忠貞，

21、認為這些比什么都重要，那么姑娘即便不是這種人，也會假裝自己將來會成為賢妻良母。深入研究一下這種性別期待，我們就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這是受生理和社會因素制約的。無疑，女性為孕育嬰兒做好了生理準備，而男人則完全不適合這項工作。男人只有努力掙錢養(yǎng)家，才能讓一家人過上好日子。(presumption; option; other than; bemoan; unwritten rule; to be prone to; let on; goes without saying)Our presumptions about what ideal husbands or wives are like reveal a l

23、 they will most probably bemoan their bachelor's status for the rest of their lives. Following the same unwritten rule, if most boys expect their fiancées to be caring, patient and faithful more than anything else, girls are prone to let on that they will become faithful wives and loving mo

It goes without saying that women are physically prepared to bear children, whereas men are utterly unfit for the job. Therefore, a family is better of

26、他宣布學校將重新考慮這項規(guī)定。他對學生說，他們完全有權力過上方便、舒適的生活，但校園的安全也同樣重要。他還提議在校園里建一個大超市，在宿舍樓附近開一些便利店 (convenience store)，這樣就能大大方便學生們的生活。(it's for matters of this kind; get sth wrong; make amends; be entitled to)To make the campus safer, the university authorities recently released a new regulation that forbids any ve

Some claimed that it was precisely for matters of this kind that the university should listen to students' opinions and needs. Some students thought the univ

He told students that they were entitled to live a

30、 convenient and comfortable life, but safety was just as much an important concern as that. He proposed to build a big supermarket within the campus and some convenience stores near dormitory buildings, which would certainly make students' life much easier.Unit 7在畢業(yè)典禮上，一家知名IT公司的經(jīng)驗豐富的CTO托馬斯克拉克給14

31、0名渴望在IT行業(yè)干出一番事業(yè)的計算機科學專業(yè)的學生提出了一些重要建議。在他看來，信息技術不僅僅是組裝機器和裝置。在這個領域，創(chuàng)新起著關鍵的作用。所以IT工作者自然要承受巨大的壓力，因為他們每天都要想出一些新點子。但是克拉克也指出，IT行業(yè)的最終目標是利潤。如果你想在這個領域獲得成功，你應該牢記創(chuàng)新并不等同于個人主義。值得注意的是，很多有天賦的年輕人由于狂妄自大，交流能力差，沒能發(fā)揮他們的潛力，因此沒有取得成功?？死藦娬{說，你必須學會和不同部門的人合作，這樣你才能創(chuàng)造出能被市場接受的產(chǎn)品，你的才華才能綻放。(aspire to; assemble; domain; on a daily basis; u
