You may find yourself facing a whole new set of expectations about the proper way to behave. Go out to dine with your new friends and you may find yourself having to adopt a whole new set of table manners. Then there is the problem of who is responsible for paying for the meal. This may not be immediately apparent. In some cultures friends share the cost equally at the end of the meal, in others the preference is for friends to take turns,repaying one meal with another at a later date. Working out the details of local customs like these may take time, but, in my view , it is well worth the effort if you want to avoid misunderstandings.3.opponent artificial crack accelerate intellectual tackle adjust Breakthrough put. to the test construct tournament get the better ofThose who champion(為而奮斗)the cause of artificial intelligence are celebrating a(n) break through.For computer scientists have managed crack the problem of how to construct a computer that can play the ancient game of Go better than the humans. In tournaments with grand masters the computer has got the better of them, defeating one opponent after another. Some welcome the greater power of computers, arguing they will be willing slaves in helping us tackle our problems.Others, like the great scientist Stephen Hawking, fear computers may tackle our problems.Others,like the great scientist Stephen Hawking,fear computers may eventually become independent of us and bring the reign of human beings to an end.4.chemical nevertheless settlement inadequate in violation of court draft stagger nightmare deny accuse . of represent responsible dispose of My name is Wilbur Tennant and Im a farmer. You cant imagine what a terrible nightmare I have had to live through. It all started when I discovered my cows staggering all over the place. And then they began dying. Well, I thought I knew who was responsible: Dupont, the chemical company. It was disposing of poisonous waste near a river that runs through my farm. Nevertheless,the company denied it and claimed it was all my fault! It was not until I was lucky enough to get a top lawyer to represent me that I had any success. He took the company to court and eventually I was able to reach a(n) settlement with Dupont for a large sum of money. As what it had done was clearly in violation of the law, Dupont also found itself in trouble with the Environmental Protection Agency.5.dramatic lay low acquire pass through recall step up neighborhood hang around move outCan you recall a time when the area where you live was very different from what it is today?Given the dramatic changes that China has passed through in recent years, that would not be surprising. Whole neighborhoods have been transformed. New construction has meant that the housing stock has improved in size and quality. As a result of redevelopment many people have been able to move out of old housing into new accommodation that offers better amenities, boosting their standard of living. This is naturally to be welcomed, but the change has not been without some costs. As whole areas of traditional low-rise housing have been laid low to make, way for high-rise apartments, opportunities for neighbors to casually hang around with each other have frequently declined. 6.most of the time leadership attribute come up with as opposed to like hill care about have ones eye(s) onThose in charge of organizations naturally want to recruit the best candidates. But just what attributes are managers looking for in a potential employee? What do they set out to assess in an interview? One thing is the capacity to quickly come up with answers when confronted with problems, the ability to think up solutions on the fly. Another is the ability to combine self-confidence with a degree of humility that will enable you to take advice gladly and learn from your mistakes. If you are applying for a post because you are unhappy with your current employer, beware of saying negative things about them. Focus on the positive things the future has to offer, as opposed to the negative aspects of your present situation. In a(n) increasingly competitive market you need to convince the interviewer that you have the ability and enthusiasm to do the job well and the capacity to work like hell when the need arises. 7.brilliant conclusion intense hypothesis intrigue nominateobject to stir instrument likely suspect I suspect that by now you know all about Marie Curie. You have,after all, been bombarded with facts about her. You will have read all about the brilliant work that led to her being awarded the most prestigious of scientific prizes, But why is it that So few women have been nominated for a Nobel Prize in science? It is an intriguing question and one that has led to intense debate, stirring up emotions, with strong views being expressed on whether nature or nurture plays the dominant role. The debate has generated numerous hypotheses, but arriving at a conclusion that satisfies everyone would prove difficult.8.concise negative harsh dump tone evolve mood evolution disaster economic communicate kill of sharpen up filter into Has the evolution of technology been a disaster for the way we communicate with one another? Some people certainly fear that the development of computers and smartphones has had a(n) negative effect on language. But such an assessment is probably too harsh. For language inevitably evolves to take advantage of new methods of communication. Rather than limiting our ability to communicate by killing off language such changes often offer fresh ways for us to sharpen up our communication skills. Emoticons and emojis, for example, may not be appropriate where a more formal tone is required, but in informal contexts they offer a concise way of expressing our mood.英譯漢1.emotional paperwork book sighting excursion employment capture solo browse visa fill out follow ones heart make friends(with sb.) stress out save up prior to kind of 如果你準(zhǔn)備充分，你的出國(guó)打工假期能成為最有益的經(jīng)歷之一。以下是一些小建議。 首先，你需要通過(guò)瀏覽相關(guān)(relevant)網(wǎng)站來(lái)明智地選擇目的地。然后，盡早地填寫(xiě)所需要的文件、申請(qǐng)簽證、預(yù)訂機(jī)票。出發(fā)前努力學(xué)習(xí)新的職業(yè)技能，這能讓你在國(guó)外有更多的工作選擇，幫助你積攢足夠的錢去旅游。到國(guó)外的最初幾個(gè)星期里，人們經(jīng)常會(huì)感到焦慮不安或者有點(diǎn)困惑，所以你要對(duì)這種情緒上的壓力有所準(zhǔn)備。同當(dāng)?shù)厝私慌笥眩皇菃为?dú)冒險(xiǎn)。盡可能多地出去觀光旅游，并用文字記錄或拍下你去過(guò)的地方。最后點(diǎn)是跟著感覺(jué)走， 做自己真心想做的事。If you are fully prepared, your working holiday abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever have. Here are some tips. First, you need to choose your destination wisely by browsing relevant websites. Then fill out the necessary paperwork, apply for a visa and book your flight as early as possible. Try to learn some new job skills prior to your departure, which can give you more employment options abroad and help you save up enough money for travel. Within weeks of arriving in a foreign country,people often feel stressed out or kind of confused, so be prepared for the emotional stress. Make friends with local people instead of taking the adventure solo. And whenever possible, go on sightseeing excursions and capture the places you visit in words or pictures. Last,always follow your heart and do what you truly want to do.2.apparent household primary aspect kindness relieve . of burdenleave behind repay devotion parenting responsibility help out在中國(guó)，當(dāng)上爺爺奶奶是件大事。中國(guó)的爺爺奶為照顧第三代盡心盡力是人所共知的。而這卻是父母和成年子女之間矛盾的重要起因，因?yàn)閮纱嗽谏罘绞?、育兒理念等方面有顯而易見(jiàn)的差異。你可以指望你的父母幫你做家務(wù)、替你帶孩子，以此減輕你為人家長(zhǎng)的負(fù)擔(dān)，但要知道，你也常常不得不放棄自己的育兒理念。與此同時(shí)，做子女的不能理所當(dāng)然地享受父母的好意，在你竭力平衡家庭與工作的時(shí)候父母伸出援手，那么在父母年紀(jì)大的時(shí)候你當(dāng)然也要加以回報(bào)，照顧他們。To be a grandparent is a big deal in China. Chinese grandparents are widely known for their devotion to the responsibilities of taking care of the third generation, This, however, is a primary cause of the conflict between parents and their adult children, for there exist apparent differences in a aspects like lifestyle and parenting approaches between the two generations. You can expect parents to help you manage your household and take on childcare duties, thus relieving you of your burden as a parent, but you must know, very often, you have to leave your own parenting ideas behind. Meanwhile, the adult child simply cant take the kindness of his/her parents for granted, As your parents helped you out when you struggled to balance family and career, you are certainly expected to repay their kindness by taking care of them when they get old.3.artificial accelerate adjust champion construct flexible imagination intelligence intuition invent opponent process select strategy tackle top tournament raw我是名賽車設(shè)計(jì)師。這幾年我對(duì)建造帶人工智能的賽車很感興趣。在我的想象中，我要發(fā)明的新車將通過(guò)接像機(jī)和傳感器收集原始數(shù)據(jù)，并具有強(qiáng)大的數(shù)據(jù)處理能力。它能靈活地適應(yīng)環(huán)境、決定何時(shí)加速或減速。你知道費(fèi)車手在選擇策略時(shí)往往依靠直覺(jué)，可直覺(jué)在人緊張(tense)的時(shí)候就不靈了。人工智能從來(lái)不會(huì)緊張，所以更安全。一且我攻克了設(shè)計(jì)中的難題，我將造一輛新賽車井帶上它參加錦標(biāo)賽。我希望它能戰(zhàn)勝所有對(duì)手，奪得冠軍稱號(hào)。I am a race car designer. In recent years I have been greatly interested in constructing a race car with artificial intelligence. In my imagination, the race car Im going to invent will collect raw data through video cameras and sensors.It will have strong data processing abilities. It can adjust to the environment, deciding when ta accelerate or slow down in a flexible manner. You know, race car drivers always rely on intuition when selecting strategies, but intuition may fail if the person is tense. Artificial intelligence never feels tense, so it is safer. Once Ive tackled the challenging problems in design, I will- build a new race car and take it to a tournament.I hope it will top all opponents and become a champion.4.substance recommendation purchase document hunt(for) reference chemical1天， 有人給我一項(xiàng)任務(wù)，讓我翻譯一個(gè)文件。 這是一份若干化學(xué)物質(zhì)的研究報(bào)告，我對(duì)這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)無(wú)所知。開(kāi)始我認(rèn)為我干不了這活。但我的教授鼓勵(lì)我接下來(lái)。經(jīng)他推薦，我買了兩本字典。然后我就在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上搜尋參考資料。我熟悉了這個(gè)題材后才動(dòng)手翻譯。這樣，最初看來(lái)不可能完成的任務(wù)最終卻變得相當(dāng)容易。One day, I was given the task of translating a document. It was a study of some chemical substances which I knew nothing about. At first I didnt think I could do it. But my professor encouraged me to take the job. Upon his recommendation, I purchased two dictionaries. Then, I hunted on the Internet for references. I didnt start the translation until after I became familiar with the subject. Thus, what seemed an impossible task at first became fairly easy in the end.5.boost scatter dramatic stock host make history neighborhood move intoobvious pass through recall play a role in routine自從1978年12月改革開(kāi)放以來(lái)中國(guó)經(jīng)歷了巨大變革。208年中國(guó)首次成功主辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)，創(chuàng)造了歷史，更是大提開(kāi)了全國(guó)人民的民族自豪感?，F(xiàn)代化的進(jìn)是對(duì)很多人的日常生活的改變起了重要作用，我所在的街坊是個(gè)明的例子。 我還記得過(guò)去無(wú)點(diǎn)日常用品要過(guò)好幾條街巷，現(xiàn)在城那哪兒都有雜貨店和便料店。且物品富。以前我們多數(shù)人住在沒(méi)有衛(wèi)生間的舊房子里。而今，許許多多家庭微進(jìn)新的現(xiàn)代化的公寓樓。有好多這樣的事可說(shuō)，這里我只是提及一罷了。The reform and opening up since December 1978 has brought about a dramatic change in China. In 2008, China made history by successfully hosting the Olympic Games for the first time, which greatly boosted national pride. Modernization has played an important role in changing everyday routines for many people. My neighborhood is an obvious example. I can still recall how I had to pass through several streets and alleys for daily necessities, whereas today groceries and convenience stores, all fully stocked, are scattered all over the city. In the past we mostly lived in old houses without bathrooms. Today lots of families have moved into modern apartment buildings. There are many more things to be said; here I have mentioned just a few.6.most of the time as opposed to leadership like hell attribute care about come up with have ones eye(s) on雇主在招聘時(shí)會(huì)在求職者身上找尋一一些特質(zhì)。 第一是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力。最高效的公司要招有發(fā)展前途的人，而不是缺少進(jìn)取精神(the spirit of enterprise)的人。他們希望每個(gè)人都有進(jìn)步的空間，并且最終能組建自己的常勝之隊(duì)。第二是抱負(fù)。有抱負(fù)的員工多數(shù)時(shí)候接受挑戰(zhàn)，并且能克服困難。為了更好的解決方案，他們拼命工作，從而使公司更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。第三是創(chuàng)造力。最成功的公司因?yàn)閯?chuàng)新和對(duì)現(xiàn)狀的持續(xù)改進(jìn)而蓬勃發(fā)展。這些公司尋找的人不僅能自主工作，還能想出新辦法完成老任務(wù)。最后是激情，盡管所有雇員都在乎薪水，最受雇主歡迎的卻是那些熱愛(ài)工作如同熱愛(ài)報(bào)酬的員工。When recruiting, there are certain attributes that employers look for in job applicants. First is leadership. The most efficient organizations have their eyes on those who have development potential as opposed to those who lack the spirit of enterprise. They want each individual to have room to progress, and, in time, be able to create their own winning teams. Second is ambition.Ambitious employees are those who, most of the time, embrace challenges and are able to overcome obstacles. They work like hell towards better solutions, thus making the organization more competitive.Third is creativeness. The most successful companies thrive because of innovation and a consistent improvement on their current situation, They are looking for those who can not only work autonomously, but also come up with fresh ways to complete old tasks. Last is passion. Although all employees care about salary, the most sought- after are the ones who enjoy work as much as reward.7.a great/large amount of contribution award grant be bombarded with instrument brilliant likely by the end of suspect你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)我們大學(xué)的史密斯教授嗎?他在自然雜志上發(fā)表了一篇論文，聲稱他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種可以用于治療艾滋病的新方法，并說(shuō)他的方法比現(xiàn)有技術(shù)更簡(jiǎn)便、更有效。論文刊登后，學(xué)校非常重視，給了他大量的研究經(jīng)費(fèi)，讓他購(gòu)買更高級(jí)的儀器。媒體采訪接踵而來(lái)，讓史密斯教授應(yīng)接不暇，大概是因?yàn)橛浾邆冋J(rèn)為史密斯教授對(duì)醫(yī)學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)巨大，未來(lái)可能獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)。然而，也有其他科學(xué)家懷疑這位媒體眼中的天才科學(xué)家撒了謊。他們聲稱，按照史密斯教授在論文上披露的實(shí)驗(yàn)方法做完實(shí)驗(yàn)后，達(dá)不到他聲稱的那樣的結(jié)果。史密斯教授反駁說(shuō)，這些同行們的實(shí)驗(yàn)和觀測(cè)有誤。到底誰(shuí)對(duì)，我們拭目以待。Have you heard about Prof. Smith from our university? He published a paper in Nature, claiming that he had discovered a new method that could be used in treating AIDS, and that his method was simpler and more effective than current technology. Our university thought highly of his paper, giving him a great amount of money in the form of a research grant so that he could buy more advanced instruments. Prof. Smith has been bombarded with media interviews, likely because reporters believe that he might be awarded the Nobel Prize for his contribution to medicine. However,some scientists suspect that the professor, brilliant according to the media, might have lied. They claim that by the end of their own experiments, following the method revealed in Prof. Smiths paper, they couldnt produce the same results as he had claimed. Prof.Smith has reacted by saying these colleagues made mistakes in their experiments and observations. Well wait and see who is municate harsh respond have a way of doing sth. disaster misunderstand streamline have an effect on economic mood tone impact on evolution negative creep into kill off evolve qualify get . across現(xiàn)代技術(shù)影響著我們交流的方式。例如，短信語(yǔ)言十分簡(jiǎn)練，包括許多縮略語(yǔ)和首字母縮略詞。為了讓別人更好地理解信息，避免誤解。人們還使用修飾性的表情符號(hào)來(lái)灌清語(yǔ)氣或者情緒。在數(shù)字化交流中使用的簡(jiǎn)略形式正在情然涉人我們的口語(yǔ)中。一些人以負(fù)面的甚至嚴(yán)厲的評(píng)論來(lái)同應(yīng)這 變化 他們認(rèn)為這種變化是場(chǎng)災(zāi)牌因特網(wǎng)正在現(xiàn)天語(yǔ)言。但是大多數(shù)專家認(rèn)為語(yǔ)言總在自我減變而技術(shù)向來(lái)會(huì)對(duì)語(yǔ)言產(chǎn)生形響。這種液變應(yīng)該被視作進(jìn)步而非退步(regression)。Modern technology impacts on the way we communicate.For example, the language of texting is streamlined, with many abbreviations and acronyms. To get their message across and avoid misunderstanding, people also use qualifying emoticons to clarify tones or moods, The economic forms used in digital communication are creeping into our spoken language. Some people respond to the change with negative and even harsh comments. They think this type of change is a disaster and the Internet is killing off our language. But most experts believe that languages have a way of evolving and technology has always had an effect on language. The evolution should be viewed as progress, not regression.英譯漢1.
