Unit1

Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.

学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。

Although at times learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.

虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。

My experience with learning a foreign language began in <4>junior</4> middle school, when I took my first English class.

我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。

I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.

老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。

Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes.

由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。

I was at the top of my class for two years.

两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅

When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before.

到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。

While my former teacher had been patient with all of the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.

以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。

Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"

每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”

It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.

没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了

Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.

我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。

However, that state didn't last long.

好在这种情况没持续多久。

When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. 到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。

Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!

与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！

The situation was far from perfect, though.

不过情况却远不尽如人意。

As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.

由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。

(无码手工)新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第一册课文中英对译。一句对一句

Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.

上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。

I began to feel intimidated.

我开始产生一种畏惧感。

So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.

虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。

It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.

看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了

That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course.

直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。

The communication medium was a computer, a phone line, and a modem

这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。

. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.

我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。

Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;

网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。

it requires a lot of time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. 它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。

I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.

我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。

I practiced all the time.

我随时随地都在学习。

I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.

不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。 I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes.

我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。

Once in a while I cried out of frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up.

有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。

But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen.

但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。

Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.

突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。

Although I was still making many mistakes and was continually learning new ways to say things, I had finally reaped the benefits of all of my hard work.

尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。

(无码手工)新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第一册课文中英对译。一句对一句

Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.

学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。

Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things.

它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。

The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before.

学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。

Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships.

与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。

Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends.

由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。 I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs. 我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.

He was everely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare.

I would nwardly struggle at the unwanted attention.

If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.

即使父亲注意到这些或感到不安，他也从不表露出来。

It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along.

我们的步伐难以协调一致——他常常停下脚步，而我的步子却显得不耐烦。正因为如此，我们一路很少说话。

But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."

但每次出门时，他总说：“你按你的步速走，我跟着你。”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work.

我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回，那是他上班的路线

这是件可以引以为荣的事。

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. 当路上覆盖冰雪时，即使有人搀扶，他也难以行走。

At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child's wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance.

这种时候，我或者我的姐妹们就用一辆带有钢轮的儿童推车拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。

Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached <p12>the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice.

一到那儿，他就紧抓着地铁口的扶手一直往下走，因为地铁内比较暖和，下面几级台阶没有冰雪。

In Manhattan the subway station was in the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

曼哈顿的地铁站直通他们办公楼的地下室，他不用出站（就可到办公室）。下班回家时，我们会去布鲁克林的地铁站口接他。

When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such shame and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint. 现在回想起来，我不禁惊叹：像他那样一个成年人，得有多大的勇气才能承受这样的屈辱和压力，而当时他却显得毫无痛苦，也没怨言。

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate

(无码手工)新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第一册课文中英对译。一句对一句

or able.

他从不说自己可怜，也从不表现出对那些比他幸运或健康的人的羡慕。

What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

他从别人那儿寻找的是一颗“好心”。一旦找到了，那人在他心目中就是个大好人。

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is.

现在我长大了，我相信这是判断一个人的标准。虽然我还没有确切理解什么是“好心”， But I know at times I don't have one myself.

但我知道自己有时候并没有这么一颗“好心”

He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play.

他是一个见多识广的棒球迷，常常带我到埃贝茨球场，观看布鲁克林道奇队的比赛。

He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching. 他喜欢参加各种舞会和聚会，虽然在那儿他只能坐着观看，却也能享受一番乐趣

On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving 记得在一次沙滩聚会上，进行了一场殴斗，人人挥拳上阵，相互推撞。

He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand.

他不满足只是坐着观看，然而在松软的沙地上如果没人帮助，他又站不起来。

In frustration he began to shout, "I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me!"

于是在极度无助的情况下，他高声喊道：“谁坐下来和我对打! 谁愿意坐下来和我对打! Nobody did.

没有人坐下来和他对打。

But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.

第二天，人们和他开玩笑，说是第一次听到拳击手在开打之前，就有人要求他倒地服输。 I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son.

如今我知道他是通过我，他唯一的儿子，间接地参与了一些事情。

When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too.

我打球时（球技很糟），他也“打”；后来我加入海军，他也“加入”了。

And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office.

我休假回家时，他一定要让我去参观他的办公室。

Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.

在介绍我时，虽然没有说出口，但他实际上在说：“这是我儿子，但也是我。如果我没瘸，我也会和他一样。”

He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often.

如今父亲已去世多年，但我时常想起他。

(无码手工)新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第一册课文中英对译。一句对一句

I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks.

不知他当时是否留意在我们同行时，我不愿意被人看到。

If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. 若他确实注意到了，那我真惭愧当时没能对他说我是多么对不起他，我是多么不孝，我有多么后悔。

I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart".

现在，每当我因一些琐事而怨天尤人的时候，每当我嫉妒别人运气比我好的时候，每当我没有一颗“好心”的时候，我就会想起他。

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."

每逢此时，我就设想自己将手搭在他的臂上，重新找回自己的平衡，我会说：“你按你的步速走，我跟着你。”

获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）是20世纪70年代末在美国发现的。

Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000 Americans—half of that number in the past few years alone.

自那时以来，艾滋病已夺走了20.4万多美国人的生命——其中有一半是在过去几年中丧生的。

Another 185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are expected to die within the next year.

此外，在100万感染艾滋病病毒的人当中有18.5万人也将在一年内死亡。

Nearly half of those diagnosed with the virus are blacks and Latinos.

被诊断感染艾滋病病毒的人当中有一半是黑人和来自拉丁美洲的美国人。

Women and youth in rural southern communities now constitute the fastest growing segment of people with AIDS.

南部农村社区的妇女和青年是数量增长最快的艾滋病患者群体。

Despite such alarming numbers, the federal and state governments have been slow in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS.

尽管数量大得惊人，但联邦和各州政府在实施防止艾滋病蔓延的计划方面行动迟缓。 In place of government inactivity, a number of local organizations have emerged.

鉴于政府行动不力，许多地方性组织便应运而生了。

One organization, the South Carolina AIDS Education Network, formed in 1985 to combat the growing number of AIDS cases.

南卡罗来纳艾滋病教育网络机构成立于1985年，目的在于防止艾滋病病例数量的增加。 Like many local organizations, this organization suffers from a lack of money, forcing it to use its resources creatively.

和许多地方性组织一样，该组织缺乏资金，这迫使它创造性地使用其资源。

To reach more people in the community, some AIDS educational programs operate out of a beauty shop.

为接触更多的社区居民，有些艾滋病教育计划在美发店实施。

The owner hands out AIDS information to all her clients when they enter the shop and shows videos on AIDS prevention while they wait for their hair to dry.

美发店老板在顾客进来时向他们散发艾滋病资料，在他们等着头发晾干时，向他们放映有关预防艾滋病的录像片。

She also keeps books and other publications around so customers can read them while waiting for their appointments.

她还在店里放一些书籍和其他出版物，供顾客等候时阅读。

It's amazing how many people she has educated on the job.

她在工作的同时使许许多多人受到了教育，这一点着实让人赞叹。

Recently, the network began helping hair stylists throughout the southeast set up similar programs in their shops.

最近，这一教育网络机构已开始帮助整个美国东南部的发型设计师们在他们的美发店里实施

类似计划。

The hair stylists are also valuable resources in spreading information to their schools, community groups, and churches.

他们也是向学校、社区组织和教堂传播信息的有价值的资源。

The organization has developed several techniques useful to other groups doing similar work. 这一组织还总结出了一些对其他从事同样工作的团体颇有裨益的方法。

While no one way of winning the war against AIDS exists, the network shares these lessons learned in its battle against AIDS:

尽管还没有一种能战胜艾滋病的方法，但这一网络机构在与艾滋病斗争中获得了以下经验： Speak to your community in a way they can hear.

以社区居民能接受的方式与他们交谈

Many communities have a low literacy rate, making impossible passing out AIDS literature and expecting people to read it.

许多社区的居民受教育比例低，这使得向他们散发艾滋病资料、希望他们自己阅读这一做法不切实际。

To solve this problem, ask people in the community who can draw well to create low-literacy AIDS education publications.

为解决这一问题，需要请一些善于绘画的人来编写适合于教育程度低的居民阅读的艾滋病教育图书。

These books use simple, hand-drawn pictures of "sad faces" and "happy faces" to illustrate< ways people can prevent AIDS.

这些书采用简单的、手工绘制的“忧伤的脸”和“幸福的脸”等图画，说明防止感染艾滋病的方法。

They also show people who look like those we need to educate, since people can relate more when they see familiar faces and language they can understand.

这些书也展示一些看上去同那些需要接受教育的人很相似的图片。当居民们看到熟悉的面孔和能够理解的语言时，就会发表更多的议论和看法。

As a result, such books actually have more effect in the communities where they are used than government publications, which cost thousands of dollars more to produce.

这样一来，这些书在使用它们的社区里所产生的影响要比政府出版的书产生的影响大，而政府出版的书籍成本要高出数千美元。

Train teenagers to educate their peers.

培训青少年去教育自己的同龄人

Because AIDS is spreading fastest among teenagers in the rural South, <p20>the stylists have established an "AIDS Busters" program which trains youth from 8 to 26 to go into the community and teach "AIDS 101" to their peers.

由于艾滋病在南部农村地区的青少年当中传播速度最快，发型设计师们设立了一个称为“艾滋病克星”的项目，培训8到26岁的青少年，让他们到社区给同龄人上“艾滋病101”课程。

They make it simple and explain the risk of catching AIDS to friends their own age much better than an adult can.

这些青少年使这门课程变得简单易学，在向他们的同龄朋友解释感染艾滋病的危险性时，他们干得比成年人出色得多。

They also play a vital role in helping parents understand the types of peer pressure their children

(无码手工)新视野大学英语读写教程第二版第一册课文中英对译。一句对一句

experience.

他们在帮助父母理解孩子所经受的各种来自于同龄人的压力方面也起着重要作用。 Redefine"at risk" to include women from different backgrounds and marital status.

对“存在危险”这一概念重新界定，从而把不同背景、不同婚姻状况的妇女都包括进去 One woman's doctor told her she was not at risk for AIDS because she was married and didn't use drugs.

一位妇女的医生对她说她不存在染上艾滋病的危险，因为她已经结婚，而且不吸毒。 Such misinformation plagues the medical establishment

这类错误观念困扰着医疗机构。

According to the Centers for Disease Control, women will soon make up 80 percent of those diagnosed with HIV.

根据疾病控制中心的预测，女性将占感染艾滋病病毒人数的80%

The stylists also emphasize that everyone is at risk and that all of us have a right to protect ourselves—regardless of marriage status.

发型设计师们也强调每个人都存在着危险， 所以我们每个人都有权保护自己——无论结婚与否。

These lessons are not the only olutions to the crisis, but until there is a cure for AIDS, educationrepresents< the only safe measure to guard against the virus.

这些经验不是解决艾滋病危机的唯一方法，但在找到治疗艾滋病的方法之前，教育不失为预防感染艾滋病病毒的唯一安全措施。

Like no other plague before, the AIDS epidemic threatens to wipe out an entire generation and leave another without parents.

和以前其他传染病不同，艾滋病这一传染性疾病有可能夺去一代人的生命，从而使另一代人失去双亲。

We must not let cultural, racial, or social barriers distract us from the job that must be done. 因而我们决不能让文化、种族和社会的障碍阻止我们专心从事我们必须做的工作。 Nor can we let political inefficiency stop us from our task.

我们也不能因为政府工作效率低而放弃我们的工作。

This is an undeclared war that everyone must sign up for in order for us to win.

这是一场不宣而战的战争，我们每个人都必须参加，只有这样我们才能取得胜利。

We simply cannot let people continue to die because we don't feel comfortable talking about AIDS.

我们绝对不能因为谈论艾滋病会使我们感到难受，而听任人们继续被艾滋病夺去生命。 Everyone must become an educator and learn to live.

每个人都必须成为教育者，必须学会生存。
