綜合教程Book 1背誦段落原文及譯文

1、Book 1 Unit 1 (paras 5-6)突然我就想描述那一切，描述當時那種溫馨美好的氣氛，但我把它寫下來僅僅是想自得其樂，而不是為弗利格爾先生而寫。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一個時刻。我想重溫那個夜晚的愉快。然而，照我希望的那樣去寫，就會違反我在學校里學的正式作文的種種法則，弗利格爾先生也肯定會打它一個不及格。沒關(guān)系。等我為自己寫好了之后，我可以再為弗利格爾先生寫點什么別的東西。等我寫完時已是半夜時分，再沒時間為弗利格爾先生寫一篇循規(guī)蹈矩、像模像樣的文章了。第二天上午，我別無選擇，只好把我為自己而寫的貝爾維爾晚餐的故事交了上去。兩天后弗利格爾先生發(fā)還批改過的作文，他把別人的都發(fā)了

2、，就是沒有我的。我正準備著遵命一放學就去弗利格爾先生那兒挨訓，卻看見他從桌上拿起我的作文，敲了敲桌子讓大家注意聽。Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure

3、of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I'd learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this thing for myself.When I finished it

4、the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper, respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the Belleville supper. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyone's but mine. I was p

5、reparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately after school for discipline when I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class's attention.Book 1 Unit 3 （paras 1-2）無論我們是否愿意，我們生活的世界在過去一百年間已經(jīng)變化了許多，而且在未來的一百年里可能變化更多。有人想中止這種種變化，回到那個他們認為更純潔更樸素的時代。但正如歷史所表明的，過去并非那么美妙。過

6、去對享有特權(quán)的少數(shù)人不算太糟，但即便他們也無從享受現(xiàn)代醫(yī)療，而生育對婦女來說風險極大。對占人口大多數(shù)的民眾而言，生活是艱難、殘忍而又短暫的。不管怎樣，即使有人想這么做，他也無法將時鐘撥回到早先的時代。知識與技術(shù)不可能說忘就忘了。也沒有人能阻止未來的進一步發(fā)展。即使所有用于研究的政府資金都被取消 (現(xiàn)政府最擅長此事)，競爭的力量仍將繼續(xù)帶來技術(shù)的發(fā)展。更何況，沒有人能阻止探究求索之士去思索基礎(chǔ)科學，無論他們是否會為此得到酬勞。唯一能阻止進一步發(fā)展的辦法或許是一個壓制任何新事物的全球政府，但人類的進取心與創(chuàng)造力如此旺盛，即便這個政府也不會成功。它所能做到的只是延緩變化的速度。Whether we

7、like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred years, and it is likely to change even more in the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changes and go back to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history shows, the past was not that wonderf

8、ul. It was not so bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the population, life was nasty, brutish, and short.Anyway, even if one wanted to, one couldn't put the clock back to an ear

9、lier age. Knowledge and techniques can't just be forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all government money for research were cut off (and the present government is doing its best), the force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover

10、, one cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science, whether or not they are paid for it. The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn't succeed. All it wou

11、ld do is slow down the rate of change.Book 1 Unit 4 (paras 30-33)托尼去世后，我一直想著他的經(jīng)歷。他的形象在我心目中越來越高大。最后，我覺得他就和美國那些最大的實業(yè)家一樣高大、自豪。他們都通過同樣的途徑，本著同樣的價值觀和原則獲得了成功：遠見、執(zhí)著、自制、樂觀、自尊，以及最重要的，正直。托尼不是從最低一級階梯往上爬的，他是從地下室往上爬的。托尼的事業(yè)很小，那些最大的實業(yè)家的事業(yè)很大。但究其實，兩者的資產(chǎn)負債表完全一樣。唯一的不同是你把小數(shù)點點在什么地方。托尼·特里韋索諾來到美國尋求美國夢。但他沒有找到什么美國夢他為自己創(chuàng)

12、造了一個美國夢。他的全部擁有是一天寶貴的24小時，而他一刻也沒有浪費。After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony's career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same va

13、lues and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tony's affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists' affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance she

14、ets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn't find it he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.Book 1 Unit 6 (paras 12-15)她站在那兒，蒼白的

15、圓臉顯得溫柔理智，灰色的眼睛透出熱情善良。我沒有遲疑。我手里緊握著那本小小的讓她辨認我的藍色羊皮面舊書。這不會是愛情，但將是某種珍貴的、或許比愛情更美妙的東西，一種我曾經(jīng)感激，并將永遠感激的友情。我挺胸站立，敬了個禮，并舉起手中的書好讓那位女士看。不過在我開口說話的時候，失望的痛苦幾乎使我哽咽?！拔沂羌s翰·布蘭查德中尉，想必您就是梅奈爾小姐。很高興您來見我?？煞裾埬p光吃飯？”婦女的臉上綻開了笑容。“我不知道是怎么回事，孩子，”她回答說，“可是剛才走過去的那位穿綠色套裝的姑娘，她央求我把這支玫瑰插在衣服上。她還說，要是你請我吃飯的話，我就告訴你，她就在街對面那個大飯店里等你。她說這是

16、一種考驗！”And there she stood. Her pale, round face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly glow. I did not hesitate.My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something

17、perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment."I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Mi

18、ss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she

19、 said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"Book 1 Unit 7 (paras 1-2)多年來，我寫了大量關(guān)于動物智能實驗，以及圍繞這些實驗所產(chǎn)生的爭議的文章。動物真的有思想，即我們所說的意識嗎？人們往往通過教動物人類手勢語的實驗來探索動物的智能，我常在考慮是否會有比這更好的方式，并

20、悟出了現(xiàn)在看來是顯而易見的一點：如果動物能思維，它們的最佳思維會發(fā)生在自身確有這一需要的時候，而不是產(chǎn)生于科學家讓它們思維的時候。于是我開始與獸醫(yī)、動物研究人員以及動物園飼養(yǎng)員交談。他們大都不研究動物智能，但他們每天都遭遇動物的智能與動物的智能欠缺。他們講述的故事開啟了我相信是研究動物智能的一扇新的窗口：即動物在對付樊籠生活和地球上的主宰物種人類時所表現(xiàn)的高超的思維技能。Over the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts, what we call co
