Unit 1 英译汉

1.在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会 主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

2.现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然， 一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到 2010 年让 50％的 30 岁以下的 人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外） 。

3.我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学在如何变化。这门课是让 你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿，穿着一件 T 恤衫，上面印着“去过那儿，干过那事儿， 对，这就是那件 T 恤衫” 或诸如此类带有揶揄意味的俏皮话。 ，

4.我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪（1914－1989） ，生于其后期。这个世纪充满了战争和革命，它改 变了人类文明，推翻了强权政府，给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得到的机会与特权比从前 任何一代人都要多。
