1、新視野大學(xué)英語第三版文章翻譯 鄭樹堂任總主編的新視野大，新世紀之初在我國部分高等院校試用。下面是 _帶來的新視野大學(xué)英語第三版文章翻譯，歡迎大家閱讀! Unit 1 The Way to Suess 課文A Never, ever give up! 永不言棄! As a young boy, Britains great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famou

2、s family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved

3、fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. 英國的偉大首相溫斯頓丘吉爾爵士，小時候在哈羅公學(xué)上學(xué)。當(dāng)時他可不是個好學(xué)生，要不是出身名門，他可能早就因為違反紀律被開除了。謝天謝地，他總算從

4、哈羅了，在那里犯下的錯誤并沒影響到他上大學(xué)。后來，他憑著軍旅生涯中的杰出表現(xiàn)當(dāng)選為英國首相。他的才思、智慧、公民責(zé)任感以及在二戰(zhàn)痛苦而黑暗的時期拒絕投降的無畏勇氣，為他贏得了美名。他非凡的決心，不僅激勵了整個民族，還鼓舞了全世界。 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker

5、 of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you. The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give

6、 up! Never, never, never, never! 在他首相任期即將結(jié)束時，他應(yīng)邀前往母校哈羅公學(xué)，為滿懷報國之志的同學(xué)們作演講。校長說：“年輕的先生們，當(dāng)代最偉大的演說家過幾天就會來為你們演講，他提出的任何中肯的建議，你們都要聽從?！蹦莻€激動人心的日子終于到了。溫斯頓爵士站了起來他只有 5 英尺 5 英寸高，體重卻有 107 公斤。他作了言簡意賅的講話：“年輕人，要永不放棄。永不放棄!永不放棄!永不，永不，永不，永不!” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these

7、can inhibit a strong spirit mitted to suess. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called slow t

8、o learn and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didnt speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet

9、 both boys parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to sueed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries th

10、at benefit the entire world today. 個人經(jīng)歷、機會、個人困境，這些都不能阻擋一個全力以赴追求的、有著堅強意志的人。任務(wù)再苦，準備再長，難度再大，都不能讓他放棄自己的追求。就以本時代最有學(xué)問的兩位科學(xué)家阿爾伯特愛因斯坦和托馬斯愛迪生為例，他們都曾面臨巨大的障礙和極端的批評，都曾被說成“不開竅”，被老師當(dāng)成笨蛋而放棄。托馬斯愛迪生還曾逃學(xué)，因為老師嫌他問的問題太多而經(jīng)常鞭打他。愛因斯坦一直到將近 9 歲才能流利地說話，學(xué)習(xí)成績太差，有些人認為他都已經(jīng)學(xué)不好了。然而，這兩個男孩的父母都相信他們。他們堅持不懈地每天和兒子一起努力，孩子們也了解到，要想成功，就絕不要怕付

11、出長期而艱辛的努力。最終，愛因斯坦和愛迪生都擺脫了童年的困擾，進而作出了造福當(dāng)今全世界的偉大發(fā)現(xiàn)。 Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal educ

12、ation. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthenin

13、g his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world mend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all tim

14、e. 再如亞伯拉罕林肯這個英雄的典范，他一生面臨了無數(shù)艱辛、失敗和接二連三的不幸。他的出身和經(jīng)歷真是一點也算不上光鮮。他在一個非常貧困的家庭長大，只受過一年正規(guī)教育。經(jīng)商兩度失敗，初戀愛人的突然離世也使他精神崩潰，還在八次選舉中落馬。此后，他的四個孩子有三個不幸去世，令他悲痛欲絕。然而，堅強的意志鞭策著他，推動他前進，使他更加樂觀、投入、堅毅。這讓他得以全力以赴，一次次戰(zhàn)勝生命中的巨大困難和挫折。一百年之后，世界各地的人們都贊頌亞伯拉罕林肯，認為他是有史以來最偉大的美國總統(tǒng)。 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who keep their

15、eyes on the prize, those who uphold a mitted and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors suessful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to suee

16、d. They attained suess, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overe profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals. 與丘吉爾和林肯一樣，只有那些“執(zhí)著地追求成功”的人，那些保持始終如一的精神意志的人，才會通過自身的努力，獲得成功。許多藝術(shù)家、政治家、作家和發(fā)明家都有同樣的經(jīng)歷。他們之所以能取得這樣的成就，是因為他們擁有強烈的意愿，不懈地準備、奮斗，并保持對成功的激情。他們?nèi)〉昧顺晒Γ⒉皇且?/p>

17、為成功很容易，而是因為他們擁有克服重重障礙的意志，為了追求目標而勤奮努力。 After growing up on a cattle ranch without running water or electricity, Sandra Day OConnor fought to achieve the best education possible. Consistently graduating at the top of her class, she worked her way into Stanford Law School, where she graduated with hono

18、rs. But despite all of her hard work, Sandra Day OConnor was still a woman in the 1950s. Even with the prestige of her degree from Stanford, she was rejected from the entire law circuit as firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather than risk hiring a female lawyer, which was unprecedented. Ye

19、t Sandra Day OConnor refused to give up on her dreams. Through sheer persistence she was eventually nominated and then appointed the first woman Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America. There, she acted as a crucial vote on issues like abortion and womens rights. 桑德拉戴奧康納成長于既沒自來水也沒電的養(yǎng)牛場

20、，她努力學(xué)習(xí)以使自己接受到最好的教育。她的學(xué)習(xí)成績在班上始終名列前茅，一路奮斗終于進入了斯坦福大學(xué)法學(xué)院，并以優(yōu)異的成績從法學(xué)院畢業(yè)。盡管奧康納勤奮刻苦，但在 20 世紀 50 年代，她仍然受到女人身份的制約。即使斯坦福大學(xué)的學(xué)位有良好的聲譽，她仍被整個界拒之門外，因為事務(wù)所寧愿聘請才干稍遜的男性，也不愿冒險破例雇傭一位女律師。然而，桑德拉戴奧康納并未放棄夢想。她執(zhí)著地堅持下去，終于得到提名并被任命為美國第一位女性最高法院大法官。她任職期間，對很多問題，例如墮胎和婦女權(quán)利，都起到了極為關(guān)鍵的作用。 Many people simply say that they want something,

21、 but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of suess is based upon a burning inward desire - a robust, fierce will and focus - that fuels the determination to act, to keep prepa

22、ring, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes: Its not how many times you fall down that matters. Its how many times you get back up that makes suess! 很多人只是嘴上說他們想要什么東西，但并不真正地付出大量努力去實現(xiàn)。很多人因為害怕失敗而不敢全心嘗試。而成功的秘訣在于內(nèi)心燃燒的欲望一種堅定不移的意志和專注力從而激發(fā)行動的決心，即使疲憊，即使失敗，也會繼續(xù)準備，繼續(xù)前進。正如一句箴言所說：“

23、你摔倒了多少次并不要緊;你能多少次重新站起來對成功才至關(guān)重要!” Focus on being more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going - even when you are tired and want to slack or the odds seem too large. Keep your eyes on the prize! Where theres a will, theres a way! With hard work, de

24、termination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, aomplish any feat, and achieve suess! 專注于汲取更多的知識，爭取持之以恒地漸進，保持永不言退的堅強意志即使在你疲憊想要松懈的時候，或者困難重重之時。“執(zhí)著地追求成功!”“有志者，事竟成!”只要刻苦努力，意志堅決，專心投入，準備充分，你就能跨越一切障礙，完成所有壯舉，取得成功!

26、the way through high school. Upon graduation, he became a garbage collector. The prospective opportunities for his future looked slim to others, but not to Les. He had a passion, a dream - a big dream that he was ready to work hard for. He was destined to be a disc jockey, also known as a DJ, one of

27、 the radio celebrities mixing music broadcasts for the whole city. 由于兒時過度好動，還愛不停地說話，萊斯被送到專為學(xué)習(xí)困難而設(shè)的特殊教育班，并一直讀到了高中。一畢業(yè)，他就成了一名垃圾清運工。大家都覺得他將來不會有什么好前途，但他自己卻不這么想。他有激情，有夢想一個讓他為之奮斗的偉大夢想。他覺得自己一定會成為電臺音樂唱片節(jié)目主持人，通常也叫“DJ”，那可是電臺名人，專門為面向全市的廣播制作音樂節(jié)目。 At night he would take a radio to bed so he could indulge his dre

28、am by listening to the local DJs. He created an imaginary radio station in his tiny bedroom. A hairbrush served as his microphone as he energetically practiced speaking his masterpieces to his imaginary listeners. 一到晚上，他就帶著收音機上床睡覺，這樣他就可以一邊聽著當(dāng)?shù)?DJ 的節(jié)目，一邊沉浸在自己的夢想里。他在自己的小臥室里營造了一個假想電臺。他把梳子當(dāng)麥克風(fēng)，勁頭十足地對著想象

29、中的聽眾練習(xí)自己的杰作。 He aggravated his friends with his constant practicing. They all told him that he didnt have a chance and he would never be a DJ. They scorned him and said to stop dreaming and focus on the real world. Noheless, Les didnt let their negativity stop him. He kept his goals close to his hea

30、rt and remained wrapped up in his own world, pletely absorbed in preparing for his future, preparing to live his dream as a renowned DJ. 他無休止地練習(xí)讓朋友們不勝其煩。他們都說他根本沒有機會，永遠都不可能成為 DJ。他們嘲弄他，告訴他別做白日夢，要面對現(xiàn)實。然而，這些負面影響并沒有讓萊斯停止追求。他心中一直銘記自己的目標，繼續(xù)沉浸在自己的世界里，全身心投入到對未來的準備中，去實現(xiàn)他成為著名 DJ 的夢想。 One day Les decided to tak

31、e the initiative and begin with this enterprise. He boldly went to the local radio station and told the station manager he understood the layout of the station and was ready to be a disc jockey. 一天，萊斯主動出擊，開始自己的事業(yè)。他大膽地來到當(dāng)?shù)仉娕_，告訴經(jīng)理他熟悉電臺布局環(huán)境，完全可以成為一名 DJ。 The manager looked dubiously at the untidy young

32、man in overalls and a straw hat and inquired, Do you have any expertise in broadcasting? 經(jīng)理滿腹狐疑地看著這個一身工作服還戴著頂草帽的邋遢年輕人，問他：“你了解播音的專業(yè)知識嗎?” Les replied, No sir, I dont. 萊斯回答說：“不，先生，我不了解。” Well, son, Im afraid we dont have a job for you then, he responded bluntly. So, Les first chance at suess had been a

33、 plete bust. “哦，孩子，那恐怕我們沒法雇用你，”經(jīng)理直截了當(dāng)?shù)鼗貞?yīng)。就這樣，萊斯對成功的第一次嘗試完全以失敗告終。 Les was determined. He adored his adoptive mother, Mamie Brown, and was careful with his money to try and buy her nice things. Despite everyones discouragement, she believed in him and had taught him to pursue his goals and persist in

34、his dreams no matter what others said. 萊斯十分堅定。他很愛自己的養(yǎng)母瑪米布朗，還精打細算攢錢為她買喜歡的東西。盡管人人都打擊他，但她卻十分信任他，告訴他不管別人怎么說，都要追求自己的目標，堅持自己的夢想。 So, in spite of what the station manager had originally said, Les returned to the station every day for a week. His persistence was very persuasive, and the station manager fina

35、lly gave in and took Les on to do small tasks - at no pay. Les brought coffee and food. He catered to their every need at work and worked overtime whenever necessary. Eventually, his enthusiasm won their confidence and they would send Les in their Cadillac to pick up celebrities, not knowing that he

36、 didnt even have a drivers license! 因此，不管電臺經(jīng)理之前怎么說，萊斯每天還是會去電臺，這樣持續(xù)了一周。他的堅持很能打動人，電臺經(jīng)理終于讓了步，讓他做一些小事情不過沒有報酬。萊斯負責(zé)給大家提供咖啡和吃的東西。他在工作中盡力滿足大家的每一個要求，而且只要有需要，任何時候都可以加班。最后，他的工作熱情贏得了大家的信任，他們讓萊斯開著凱迪拉克去接送名人，居然不知道他連駕照都沒有。 While hanging out with the stations real DJs, Les taught himself their posture and hand movem

37、ents on the control panel. He stayed around the studio, soaking up whatever knowledge he could. He was disciplined; back in his bedroom at night, he faithfully practiced in anticipation of the opportunity he knew would e. 與電臺真正的 DJ 相處時，萊斯他們操作調(diào)音臺的姿勢和手勢。他徘徊在播音間，力所能及地汲取全部知識。他非常自律，晚上一回到房間，就滿懷著期待不懈地練習(xí)，他知

38、道機遇終會降臨。 One afternoon at work, the DJ named Rock started to feel very sick while on the air. Les was the only person around, and he realized that Rock was coughing and losing his voice. Les stayed close in case there was some way he might help alleviate his coworkers distress. He also worried that

39、the illness was sure to doom this broadcast. 一午，工作期間，一個名叫洛克的 DJ 在直播時突然病得厲害。周圍只有萊斯，而他意識到洛克正在，都快 _話了。萊斯湊近他，看看有什么能幫助同事減輕痛苦。他也擔(dān)心這病肯定會讓廣播無法進行下去。 Finally, when the phone rang, Les grabbed it. It was the station manager, as he knew it would be. 最后，電話鈴響了，萊斯抓起電話。正是電臺經(jīng)理，對此他已有預(yù)感。 Les, this is Mr. Klein. I dont

40、 think Rock can finish his program, “萊斯，我是克萊因。我覺得洛克沒辦法做完這期節(jié)目了?！?Yes, he murmured, I know. “是的，”他低聲說，“我知道?！?Would you call one of the other deejays to e in and take over? “你能打電話叫其他 DJ 來接替他嗎?” Yes, sir, I sure will. “好的，先生，我一定去叫。” But try as he might, none of the regular DJs were available. MC Cormick

41、 and DJ Slick were both out of town for the weekend and DJ Neil was also feeling sick. It seemed that the radio station was in big trouble. 但他找了個遍，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)一個正式 DJ 都找不到。主持人考密克和 DJ 斯雷克都出城度周末去了，尼爾身體也不舒服。似乎電臺的麻煩大了。 Frantic with distress, Les called the general manager. Mr. Klein, I cant find nobody, Les said

42、. 萊斯無計可施，幾欲抓狂，只好給總經(jīng)理打電話?！翱巳R因先生，一個人都找不到，”萊斯說。 Mr. Klein then asked, Young man, do you know how to work the controls in the studio? 克萊因先生于是：“小伙子，你知道怎么操作播音間里的調(diào)音臺么?” Yes sir, replied Les, grinning with the sudden opportunity. He didnt even blink before he called his mother and his friends. You all go ou

43、t on the front porch and turn up the radio because Im about to e on the air! he said. “我知道的，先生，”萊斯回答，為突如其來的機會笑了。他一刻都不耽擱，馬上給母親和朋友們打了電話。“你們都到前廊去，打開收音機，我馬上要直播了!”他說。 Les rushed into the booth, hoisted Rock onto a nearby couch, and sat down in his place. He was ready. He flipped on the microphone and elo

44、quently rapped, Look out! This is me, LB, Les Brown! There were none before me and there will be none after me. Therefore, that makes me the one and only. Young and single and love to mingle. Qualified to bring you satisfaction, a whole lot of action. Look out, baby, Im your lovin man. 萊斯沖進播音間，把洛克扶到

45、附近的沙發(fā)上，然后坐上了他的位置。他已做好準備。打開麥克風(fēng)，他流利地開始了一段說唱：“注意啦!我是萊布，萊斯布朗!空前絕后的萊斯布朗，獨一無二的萊斯布朗。我青春年少，單身無掛，喜愛結(jié)交;我會讓你心滿意足，動能無限。來吧，親愛的，我就是你喜愛的那個人?！?Because of his preparation, Les was ready. He had dazzled the audience and heard applause from his general manager. From that fateful beginning, Les was propelled to bee an

46、icon in broadcasting, politics, public speaking and television. 正因為萊斯勤于準備，他才能一切就緒。聽眾為之折服，經(jīng)理為之鼓掌。在那決定命運的一刻后，萊斯不斷前進，成為在廣播、政治、演講和電視等領(lǐng)域的一位偶像級人物。 Unit 2 Beat your Fear 課文A Swimming through fear 游越恐懼 I was on a tour of France with my friends when our car pulled to a stop at the beach and we saw the Medite

47、rranean Sea. Massive waves surged against large rocks that formed a waterproof jetty. People said this beach was known for its notorious rip currents. I shivered with fear. Nothing scared me as much as water. 當(dāng)時我和朋友正在法國，我們把停在海灘，眼前就是地中海。巨浪翻滾擊打著構(gòu)筑起防波堤的偌大巖石。人們說這里的海灘以其可怕的裂流而著稱。恐懼讓我不寒而栗。沒有什么比水讓我更害怕了。 Jus

48、t the sight of the sea made me sick to my stomach. 只是看到了海就已經(jīng)讓我覺得反胃。 Id always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when Id decided to climb up to the highest diving board at the pool. Id hopped from that height and hit the water with an incredible impact. The air was ousted from my

49、 lungs and I blacked out. The next thing I knew, my brother was pulling my feeble body out of the pool. From then on, my fear wouldnt recede; I was absolutely terrified of water. 我曾經(jīng)一直都是喜歡水的，并且直到去年夏天我都還是一名好手。那時，我決定爬上游泳池邊上最高的跳板來跳水。我從那么高的地方跳下，重重地撞擊到水面上。我肺里的空氣一下子全被擠出去了，馬上不省人事。醒來時發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥正把我虛弱的身體從游泳池里拖出來。從那

50、時起，我對水的恐懼就沒有消退過，我怕極了水。 Jason, are you ing? my friend, Matt, called. “賈森，你要過來嗎?”我的朋友馬特朝我喊道。 Yeah, I said. Just enjoying the view, from dry land, I added silently, worried they might deem my fear pathetic if they knew. 我說：“好，就是欣賞一下景色”，又在心里默默加了一句在岸上欣賞。擔(dān)心如果他們知道我害怕水而可憐我。 Suddenly I heard shouting in Fren

51、ch. A mob of people were running into the sea, fully clothed. Thats odd, I thought. 突然，我聽到有人用法語喊叫。接著看見一群人沒脫衣服，就沖到海里。我心想，這真是太奇怪了。 I glimpsed something moving up and down amid the waves, past the end of the jetty. I gasped, realizing the catastrophe with horror. Thats a little boy out there! The would

52、-be rescuers fought against the tide, but the situation was bleak. With the waters tow, theyd never get to him in time. 我瞥見防波堤盡頭的海浪中有個東西在上下浮動。我驚恐地意識到大事不妙，倒吸了一口涼氣，那居然是個小男孩!前去救落水男童的人們搏擊著海浪，但情況卻不樂觀。由于水的拉拽，他們根本不可能及時游到小男孩身邊。 I looked back at the boy. His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and h

53、e disappeared for a moment; I had to intervene. 我扭頭看看那小男孩。他的頭剛露出水面，然后一個浪頭打過來，好一陣不見蹤影我不得不做點什么了。 I appraised the situation and realized - the jetty! The boy was close to it; maybe I could help from there. I raced down the beach, out onto the jetty, and it hit me: Water! My palms got sweaty and my stom

54、ach felt sick, symptoms of my fear. I stopped short. 我估計了當(dāng)下的情形后注意到了對，那防波堤!小男孩靠近那個地方，也許我可以從那兒幫忙。我沖下海灘，跑上防波堤，但突然我想起了什么水!頓時有了恐懼的癥狀：我手心冒汗，胃里感覺不適。我一下子停下來。 The people in the water had underestimated the waves and werent making any progress. I was the only one who saw that going out on the jetty was the fa

55、stest way to reach the drowning boy. Yet in the midst of this tragedy, I was extremely terrified. I tried to remember the lifeguard training Id had as a teenager. 水里的那些人低估了海浪的威力，救援工作沒有任何進展。只有我注意到了跑到防波堤上是到達男童的最快的路徑。然而在此性命攸關(guān)之際，我極度恐慌。我努力去回想十幾歲時所接受的救生員訓(xùn)練。 I was paralyzed with fear, but I forced myself t

56、o move forward with this impromptu rescue. I dont want this. Surely someone else can save him before I have to. 我因恐懼而全身癱軟，但我強迫自己向前移動，展開這場突發(fā)的救援行動。我不想做這些，在我施救之前肯定會有別人救他吧。 At the ridge of the jetty, I whirled around, convinced Id see an athletic swimmer plowing through the rough water toward the boy. T

57、o my dismay, no one was there. I turned back out to the sea to see the boy battered by vicious waves about 25 yards away from me. Sucking in a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. As soon as I jumped in, I felt like I was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified. Salt stung my eyes. Focus, I shouted in my head. Where is he? 我在防波堤的邊上迅速轉(zhuǎn)過身來，深信會看見某個游泳健將正向著小男孩劈波斬浪。但是讓我沮喪的是，一個人也沒有。我回身面向大海，看見 25 碼開外惡浪擊打著小男孩。我深吸一口氣，縱身躍入水中。一跳進水里，我感覺仿佛又回到了當(dāng)年的那個游泳池，我喘不過氣，拼命掙扎，驚恐萬分。咸水刺痛了我的雙眼。“集中注意力，”我在心里喊道?！八谀?/p>
