综合训练阅读理解翻译

Unit 1 第一篇

It was my first day at collage and I was hauling my suitcase up the stairs of my accommodation block with my parents close behind me. I was sharing a bedroom and sincerely hoped that my roommate would be like me, quiet, tidy and studious, someone with whom I could have lengthy philosophical conversations about the meaning of life. I was also rather hoping that I would be the first to arrive in the room so that I could grab the best bed!

I opened the door and peered in, muttering a little prayer that my roommate hadn’t arrived yet, then gasped in astonishment at the sight that met my eyes. Had the room be visited by a hurricane---or perhaps there had been a burglary? There had to be some explanation for the clothes that were strewn all over the floor and the beds---both beds! On both beds too were four of the most enormous suitcases I had ever seen, both of them overflowing with clothes (and not a book in sight, I noticed).

Sprawled on one of the beds—the best one, of course—was an attractive girl dressed as if for an extremely glamorous party. She was talking animatedly on her mobile and, on hearing us

enter, waved casually in our direction without so much as bothering to look up. Our mouths fell open in a collective gasp of astonishment, and we must have stood there for at least a minute waiting for her to acknowledge us. she did no such thing but instead turned to face the wall and continued her conversation.

“Well!” said my mother. “Well!”

My father cleared his throat nervously while I gulped. How on earth was I going to cope? Slowly the girl turned over and granted us a lazy smile. “Hi!” she said languidly. “My name’s Tracy. Look, I’m really hoping you don’t object, but I’ve decided to change rooms. Do you mind?”

它是我在大学里的第一天,我把我的行李箱上楼的我和我父母住宿块紧随其后。我分享一间卧室,真诚地希望我的室友会像我一样,安静,整洁,好学,能跟我冗长的哲学讨论人生的意义。我也很希望我将是第一个抵达的房间,这样我就能抓住最好的床上!

我打开门,在细看,咕哝着祈祷,我的室友还没有到达,然后喘着粗气惊讶地看到,见过我的眼睛。房间被飓风访问,或者也许有盗窃?必须有一些解释的衣服散落在地板上,床————床!在两个床也最巨大的四个行李箱我所见过的,他们两人的衣服(而不是一本书,我注意到)。

躺在一个床上的最好的一个,课程是一个有吸引力的女孩身着极其迷人的聚会。她活生生地在她的移动和说话,听到我们进入,挥舞着随便在我们的方向不懒得抬头。嘴里倒在一个集体惊讶的喘息,我们必须站在那里至少一分钟等待她承认我们。她没有这样做,而是转过头来面对着墙,继续她的谈话。 “好吧!”我妈说。“好吧!”

我父亲紧张地清了清嗓子,我一饮而尽。我在地球上是如何去应对呢?慢慢的女孩了,答应给我们一个慵懒的笑容。“嗨!”她阴沉地说。“我的名字是特蕾西。看,我真的希望你不反对,但我决定改变房间。你介意吗?”

At 11:43 am last Tuesday, college student Lenny Howard was standing at the open hatch of a small plane staring down at the ground 3500 ft below. “Ok, lad,” said the parachute instructor briskly. “Ready to jump in ten!”

“I’m insane!” thought Lenny. “I can’t stand heights and here I am about to jump into the sky with nothing but a bit of cloth on my back. And I’m doing it for Rag Week! Rag Week!”

Lenny jumped. When he hit the ground (safely!) 30 seconds later, not only had Lenny made his first parachute jump, he had also succeeded in raising $400 for Save the Children, one of the charities sponsored by his University Rag Society.

Skydiving is one of the many unusual activities that students do during Rag Week, when students all over the country raise money for charity. Other events include bungee jumping, 3-legged races, anything in fact that will attract attention and encourage people to sponsor them. “Hitches”, for example, involve raising sponsorship to hitchhike to an exciting destination without spending any money. There’s even’ “kidnapping”, where, as the name suggests, someone

is kidnapped and a ransom is demanded for their return. Traditionally , there’s also a colorful parade through the streets with students collecting money from the public.

The term “Rag” has its origins in the 19th century when students used to collect rags to make clothes for the poor. More recently, “Rag” has been given the meaning “Raise and Give”. Rag Week is one of the most enjoyable and successful events in the student year, with large sums of money raised for good causes. Fundraising doesn’t stop at Rag Week as Student Rag Societies organize charity events throughout the year. Recently, Loughborough University’s Student Rag Society raised almost $1000000, Long may the “Rag” tradition continue!

在上午11.43,上周二,大学生Lenny霍华德正站在一架小型飞机舱口打开瞪着地面3500英尺深。“好了,小伙子,”降落伞教练轻快地说。“准备跳十!”

“我是疯了!”莱尼想。“我受不了高度和我在这里跳到天空一无所有但是有点布在我背上。和我做抹布星期!破布一周!”

莱尼吓了一跳。当他撞到地面(安全)30秒后,不仅有莱尼首次跳伞,他还成功地为拯救儿童筹集400美元,他的慈善机构赞助一个社会大学的破布。

跳伞是许多不寻常的活动,学生们做抹布一周,当学生在全国各地为慈善事业筹集资金。其他活动包括蹦极、3 - leg种族,任何事实会吸引注意力和鼓励人们赞助他们。“故障”,例如,涉及提高赞助搭便车到一个令人兴奋的目的地不花一分钱。甚至还有“绑架”,顾名思义,有人绑架和赎金要求为他们的回报。传统上,还有一个丰富多彩的游行在街上与学生收集资金从公众。

“抹布”一词起源于19世纪当学生用于收集碎布为穷人做衣服。最近,“抹布”的意义“提高,给”。破布一周是最愉快和成功的事件在学生,对公益事业筹集大笔资金。融资并不停在破布一周学生破布全年社会组织慈善活动。最近,拉夫堡大学的学生抹布社会筹集了近1000000美元,长期可能“抹布”传统继续!

第二篇：

In We need to talk about Kevin (2003), American novelist Lionel Shriver tackles one of the biggest themes of all: Is a killer created by their upbringing or are they born that way? At the start of the novel, 17-year-old Kevin has been in prison for two years after locking his class in the high school gym and shooting nine classmates and two adults. The novel consists of a series of letters written by Eva, Kevin’s mother, to Franklin, her absent husband. In these letters, Eva explores her married life and the couple’s relationship with Kevin in an attempt to comprehend what led her son to commit this appalling crime.

At the start of her marriage, Eva is a bright successful career woman with liberal attitudes that are very different to her husband’s more traditional views. The couple decide to have a child because Frank wants one and when Kevin is born Eva fails to bond with her son. From the start Kevin is a bored, unhappy child who at an early age seems to become actively malicious. But while Eva sees this and worries about it, Franklin, wishing to see his family as a normal American family, is blind to his son’s nastiness. As Kevin grows older, he becomes increasingly malicious but cleverly massage to present his cruel actions as accidents.

The question that Eva asks herself with painful honesty is

whether it was her lack of love for Kevin and the fact that she did not want a child that created a mass murder. Undoubtedly her attitude towards her son was damaging but the terrible twist at the end of the novel reveals all too clearly that Franklins blindness to his son’s faults was equally harmful and that Kevin’s relationship with his mother is far more loving and honest. As to whether it was the family environment alone that created a killer---Shriver leaves that to the reader to decide.

在我们需要谈论凯文(2003),美国小说家兰诺.思维那解决最大的主题之一:是一个杀手由他们的教养还是出生?在小说的开始,17岁的凯文已经在监狱两年之后锁定他在高中体育馆和射击类9个同学和两个成年人。这部小说由一系列字母写的伊娃,凯文的母亲,富兰克林,没有丈夫。在这些信件中,伊娃探索她的婚姻生活,两人的关系与凯文试图理解什么使她的儿子提交这骇人听闻的罪行。

开始她的婚姻,伊娃是一个明亮的成功职业女性持自由态度,她丈夫的更传统的观点截然不同。这对夫妇决定有一个孩子因为弗兰克想要一个和凯文·伊娃出生时未能与她的儿子。从一开始凯文是一个无聊,不开心的孩子在很小的时候似乎成为积极的恶意。虽然伊娃认为这和担忧,富兰克林,希望看到他的家人作为一个普通的美国家庭,忽视儿子的污秽。凯文逐渐长大,他变得越来越恶意但是,巧妙地按摩来呈现自己的残忍的行为事故。

伊娃的问题问自己痛苦的诚实是这是她缺乏爱凯文,她不希望孩子,创建了一个大规模谋杀。她对她的儿子的态度无疑是破坏性的,但可怕的扭曲的这部小说揭示了太清楚,富兰克林失明儿子的缺点也同样有害,凯文与他妈妈的关系更爱和诚实的。是否仅是家庭环境,创建了一个杀手,施赖弗叶子读者来决定。

Unit 4: 第一篇：

This morning I watched appalled as starving African refugees fought for food at an aid centre and a small child was pulled to safety under people’s feet. It was 6.30 and I was in bed, with three pillows behind me, a cup of strong tea in my hand, and my laptop,

most appropriately, on my lap.

A short time ago I took the difficult decision to give up my daily newspaper, and to get my morning news online instead. I say “difficult decision” because by doing so I’ve let down the delightful owner of my local corner shop, who depends on sales of newspapers for his survival.

But the decision once taken, there are so many advantages of online news over the printed version. I choose the paper I want to begin with and there, online, are brief summaries of the main news items of the day, pictures in full colour, and two or three-minute videos that show me the news as it unfolds. Should I desire, I can stay with one paper and read its different sections, or flick from paper to paper, nothing with interest how different the news coverage of the same story can be. One thing that constantly fascinates me is that the front-page stories are often startlingly different.

What one paper considers front-page news is relegated to page three in another. This is particularly true of the more downmarket newspapers, which feature celebrity stories on page one that may not get even a mention in the more serious papers.

Despite the above, I have to admit to worrying that as more and more people get their news online, newspapers will find

themselves fighting for survival. I console myself with the thought that a weekend paper still lands on my doorstep each Sunday—I don’t think I could ever give that up!

今天早上我震惊看着饥饿的非洲难民争取食物援助中心和一个小孩被拉到安全在人们的脚下。那是6.30,我在床上,三个枕头在我身后,一杯浓茶在我的手,和我的笔记本电脑,最合适的,在我的大腿上。 不久前我把困难的决定放弃我的日报,并让我早上在线新闻。我说“艰难的决定”,因为这样我失望的所有者的当地的街角小店,他取决于销售报纸的生存。

但决定一旦做出,有很多优势的在线新闻印刷版本。我选择这篇论文我想首先,网上是主要新闻的简单概括,在彩色照片,两个或三分钟的视频,让我看到新闻,因为它展开。应该我的愿望,我可以留在纸上,阅读它的不同部分,或从纸纸轻轻,没有什么有兴趣不同的新闻报道相同的故事。一件事一直让我着迷,头版故事往往惊人的不同。

一篇论文所认为的头条新闻是降级到三在另一页。尤其如此低端的报纸,这页功能名人故事,甚至可能不会提及的论文更严重。

尽管上面的,我不得不承认担心随着越来越多的人在线新闻,报纸将会发现他们为生存而战。来安慰自己认为周末纸仍然落在我的家门口每个星期天我不认为我能放弃的!

第二篇：

Founded over 152 years ago, The New York Times is one of America’s most respected newspapers, with a formidable reputation for objectivity of reporting and the quality of its editorial judgement. Imagine the furore therefore over the discovery that one of its reporters had on many occasions written highly inaccurate reports. And this had been going on for a period of four years!

Jayson Blair was a 27-year-old staff reporter for The New York Times, learning his craft and rising to become a reporter for national

news events. Although editors and fellow journalists had expressed concern about his standards of reporting, it was only in 2003 that his acts of journalistic fraud came to light and he was sacked.

The core principle of journalism, that you will report honestly what you see and heat yourself, was utterly ignored by Blair. A reporter who was “hungry” for stories, he filed over 600, and in his last 73 articles there were problems in at least 36 of them.

His dishonesty was discovered when he was transferred to the national desk. On investigation it was found that he had stated as facts things that simply weren’t true, made up quotes from people he hadn’t interviewed and even plagiarized other journalists’ work. He had also published information that he had promised not to reveal, and had claimed to visit places in order to interviews over the phone.

Blair’s deliberate misreporting made front-page news everywhere. What was perhaps most shocking was that although Blair’s editors has frequently expressed great concern about his work, he had been allowed to continue writing and had even been promoted. The New York Times described Blair’s wrongdoing as “a low point has bean reached in the 152-year history of the newspaper”.

创立152多年前,《纽约时报》是美国最受尊敬的报纸之一,与一个强大的声誉的客观性报道和社论的质量判断。想象的轰动因此发现它的一个记者多次写高度不准确的报告。这已经进行了一段时间的四年!
