【篇一:新世纪大学英语读写第一册课文翻译】
when we are writing we are often told to keep our readers in
mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. but
there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten. can
you guess who? russell baker surprised himself and everyone else
when he discovered the answer.
writing for myself
russell baker
1 the idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on
since my childhood in belleville, but it wasnt until my third year
in high school that the possibility took hold. until then ive
been bored by everything associated with english courses. i
found english grammar dull and difficult. i hated the assignments
to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers
to read and for me to write.
为自己而写
从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转
着
当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这一想法才有了实现的
可能。在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英
文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受
累,我写着痛苦。
2 when our class was assigned to mr. fleagle for third-year
english i anticipated another cheerless year in that most
tedious of subjects. mr. fleagle had a reputation among
students for dullness and inability to inspire. he was said to be
very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. to me he looked
to be sixty or seventy and excessively wore primly
severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly
combed. he wore prim suits with neckties set primly against
the collar buttons of his white shirts. he had a primly pointed
jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking
that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a comic
antique. 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门
最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中
以
其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后
于
时代。我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰
的
眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的
套装,领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。他长着古板的尖下巴,古
板的直鼻梁,说起话来一本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱
一
个滑稽的老古董。
3 i prepared for an unfruitful year with mr. fleagle and for a
long time was not disappointed. late in the year we tackled
the informal essay. mr. fleagle distributed a homework sheet
offering us a choice of topics. none was quite so simple-
minded as what i did on my summer vacation, but most
seemed to be almost as dull. i took the list home and did
nothing until the night before the essay was due. lying on
the sofa, i finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list
out
of my notebook, and scanned it. the topic on which my eye
stopped was the art of eating spaghetti.
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年,
不
少日子过去了,还真不出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗
利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题目供
我们选择。像暑假二三事那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但
绝
大多数一样乏味。我把作文题带回家,一直没写,直到要交作业
的
前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,
便
从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。我的目光落在吃意大利细
面
条的艺术这个题目上。
4 this title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental
images. vivid memories came flooding back of a night in
belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table -
uncle allen, my mother, uncle charlie, doris, uncle hal - and
aunt pat served spaghetti for supper. spaghetti was still a
little known foreign dish in those days. neither doris nor i had
ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough
experience to be good at it. all the good humor of uncle allens
house reawoke in my mind as i recalled the laughing arguments
we had that night about the socially respectable method for
moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之
夜
的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐
桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特
舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说
的
异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不
足,
没有一个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重
现
在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作一团,争论着该如何
地
把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
5 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
of that evening. to write it as i wanted, however, would violate
all the rules of formal composition id 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.
突然我就想描述那一切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把
它
写下来仅仅是想自得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我
想
重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。
然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种
种法则,弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它一个不及格。没关系。等我
为
自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。
6 when i finished it 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 everyones but mine. i was
preparing 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 classs attention.
8 and he started to read. my words! he was reading my words
out loud to the entire class. whats more, the entire class was
listening. listening attentively. then somebody laughed, then the
entire class was laughing, and not in contempt and ridicule, but
with open-hearted
enjoyment. even mr. fleagle stopped two or three times to
hold back a small prim smile.
于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不
可
思议的是,全班同学都在听着他念,而且听得很专心。有人笑出
声来,接着全班都笑了,不是轻蔑嘲弄,而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就
连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次,好抑制他那一丝拘谨的微笑。
9 i did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what i was
feeling was pure delight at this demonstration that my words had
the power to make people laugh. in the eleventh grade, at the
eleventh hour as it were, i had discovered a calling. it was the
happiest moment of my entire school career. when mr.
fleaglefinished he put the final seal on my happiness by saying,
now that, boys, is an essay, dont you see. its - dont you see - its
of the very essence of the essay, dont you see. congratulations,
mr. baker.
我尽力不流露出得意的心情,但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人
大笑,我真是心花怒放。就在十一年级,可谓是最后的时刻,我找到
了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的一刻。弗
利
格尔先生念完后说道:瞧,孩子们,这就是小品文,懂了没有。
这
才是——知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓,知道了没有。祝贺你,
贝克先生。他这番话使我沉浸在十全十美的幸福之中。
how do you feel when old friends are far away? do you make
an effort to keep in touch? sometimes it is easy to put off writing
a letter, thinking that there will be plenty of time tomorrow. but
then sometimes, as this story shows, we leave it too late. perhaps
reading it will make you want to reach for your pen.
老朋友天各一方,你心有何感?你是否努力保持联系?有时候写
信的事很容易会一拖再拖,总以为明天有的是时间。然而,正如这则
故事所表明的,有时我们拖得太晚了。也许读一读这个故事会让
你
提起笔来。
all the cabbie had was a letter foster furcolo
1 he must have been completely lost in something he was
reading because i had to tap on the windshield to get his
attention.
出租车司机拥有的就剩一封信
他准是完全沉浸在所读的东西里了,因为我不得不敲挡风玻璃来
引起他的注意。
2 is your cab available? i asked when he finally looked up at
me. he nodded, then said apologetically as i settled into the back
seat, im sorry, but i was reading a letter. he sounded as if he had
a cold or something.
他总算抬头看我了。“你出车吗?”我问道。他点点头,当我坐
进后座时,他抱歉地说:“对不起,我在读一封信。”听上去他像是
得了
感冒什么的。
3 im in no hurry, i told him. go ahead and finish your
letter.“我不着急,”我对他说,“你接着把信读完吧。”
4 he shook his head. ive read it several times already. i guess
i almost know it by heart. 他摇了摇头。“我已经读了好几遍了。我
想我都能背出来了。”
5 letters from home always mean a lot, i said. at least they do
with me because im on the road so much. then, estimating that
he was 60 or 70 years old, i guessed: from a child or maybe a
grandchild?
“家书抵万金啊,”我说。“至少对我来说是这样,因为我老是
在外旅行。”我估量他有六七
十岁了,便猜测说:“是孩子还是孙子写来的?”
6 this isnt family, he replied. although, he went on, come to
think of it, it might just as well have been family. old ed was my
oldest friend. in fact, we used to call each other old friend -- when
wed meet, that is. im not much of a hand at writing.
“不是家里人,”他回答说。“不过,”他接着说,“想起来,
也可以算是一家人了。埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了。实际上,过去
我俩总
是以‘老朋友’相称的——就是说,当我俩相见时。我这人就是
不大会写东西。”
7 i dont think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,
i said. i know i i take it hes someone youve known quite
a while?
“我看大家写信都不那么勤快,”我说,“我自己笔头就很懒。
我看,你认识他挺久了吧?” 8 all my life, practically. we were kids
together, so we go way back.
“差不多认识了一辈子了。我俩小时候就一起玩,所以我俩的友
谊确实很长了。” 9 went to school together?
“一起上的学?”
10 all the way through high school. we were in the same class,
in fact, through both grade and high school.
“都一起上到高中呢。事实上,我俩从小学到高中都在一个班
里。”
11 there are not too many people whove had such a long
friendship, i said.
“保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊,”我说。
12 actually, the driver went on, i hadnt seen him more than
once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because i moved
away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even
though you never forget. he was a great guy.
“其实呢,”司机接着说,“近25到30年来,我跟他一年只见
一两次面,因为我从原来住的街区搬了出来,联系自然就少了,虽说
你一
直放在心上。他在的时候可真是个大好人。” 13 you said was.
does that mean -?
“你刚才说他‘在的时候’。你是说——?”
14 he nodded. died a couple of weeks ago.
他点了点头。“前几个星期过世啦。”
15 im sorry, i said. its no fun to lose any friend -- and losing
a real ol d one is even tougher. “真遗憾,”我说,“失去朋友真不
是
个滋味,失去个真正的老朋友更让人受不了。”
16 he didnt reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few
minutes. but i realized that old ed was still on his mind when
he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me: i should
have kept in touch. yes, he repeated, i should have kept in touch.
他开着车,没有接话儿。我们沉默了几分钟。可我知道他还在想
着
老埃德。他又开口时,与其说是跟我说话,还不如说是自言自语:
“我真该一直保持联系。真的,”他重复道,“我真该一直保持联
系。”
17 well, i agreed, we should all keep in touch with old friends
more than we do. but things come up and we just dont seem to
find the time.
“是啊,”我表示赞同,“我们都该与老朋友保持更多的联系。
不过总是有事情冒出来,好像就是抽不出空来。”
18 he shrugged. we used to find the time, he said. thats even
mentioned in the letter. he handed it over to me. take a look.
-
他耸了耸肩。“我们过去总能抽出空来,”他说。“信里还提到
呢。”
他把信递给我,“你看看
吧。”
19 thanks, i said, but i dont want to read your mail. thats
pretty personal.
“谢谢你,”我说,“不过我不想读你的信。这纯属私事。”
20 the driver shrugged. old eds dead. theres nothing
personal now. go ahead, he urged me. 司机耸一耸肩。“老埃德人
都死了。
没什么私事不私事了。看吧,”他催促说。
21 the letter was written in pencil. it began with the greeting
old friend,and the first sentence reminded me of myself. ive
been meaning to write for some time, but ive always
postponed it. it then went on to say that he often thought
about the good times they had had together when they both
lived in the same neighborhood. it had references to things that
probably meant something to the driver, such as the time tim
shea broke the window, the halloween that we tied old mr.
parkers gate, and when mrs. culver used to keep us after school.
“你们俩准是在一起度过了不少时光,”我对他说。
23like it says there, he answered, about all we had to spend
in those days was time. he shook his head: time.-
“就跟信里写的那样,”他回答说,“我俩在那个时候能花的只
有时间。”他摇头叹道:“时间啊。”
24 i thought the next paragraph of the letter was a little sad:
i began the letter with old friend because thats what weve
become over the years--old friends. and there arent many of us
left. 信里接下来的那段我觉得有点凄凉:“信的开头我写着‘老朋
友’,因为这么多年来,我们这对老朋友渐渐都老了。我们这些人当
中留
下的也不多了。”
25 you know, i said to him, when it says here that there arent
many of us left, thats absolutely right. every time i go to a
class reunion, for example, there are fewer and fewer still
around.
“你要知道,”我对他说,“信里说我们这些人当中留下的不多
了,说
得一点不错。比如说,每次我去参加老同学聚会,来的人总是越
来
越少。”
26 time goes by, the driver said.
“时间不饶人啊,”司机说。
27 did you two work at the same place? i asked him.-
“你们俩以前在一起工作吗?”我问他。
28 no, but we hung out on the same corner when we were
single. and then, when we were married, we used to go to each
others house every now and then. but for the last 20 or 30
years its been mostly just christmas cards. of course thered
be always a note wed each add to the cards--usually some news
about our families, you know, what the kids were doing, who
moved where, a new grandchild, things like that--but never a real
letter or anything like that.
“不,不过没成家时我俩总在一起闲荡。后来,两人都成了家,
就不
时相互串门。可最近这二三十年来,主要就是寄寄圣诞卡了。当
然,我俩都总在卡上写几句——通常是关于各自家里的情况,不是吗,
孩子们在干些什么,谁搬到哪儿,添了个小孙子,都是这类事—
—
可一直都没正儿八经地写过信什么的。”

仁爱英语八年级上期末作文(预测)
how to keep healthy
everyone wants to keep healthy. do you know how to keep
healthy?
first, i think sleep is important. usually we need about 8 hours’
sleep every night. so don’t stay up late. getting up early and
going to bed early makes us healthy and wise.
second, we should have good habits and eat healthy
had better wash our hands before meals. we mustn’t eat bad
food or drink sour shouldn’t eat too much fast food.
we should eat more vegetables and less meat, it’s good for
our health. if we are ill, we should go to see the doctor at once.
third,doing some sports is also necessary, such as running ,
walking or playing ball games. if you follow my advice, i
believe you will be healthy.
my favorite animal
i like animals. i think they’re our friends. among all animals,
i like dogs best, because they can do more things for people
than other animals. for example, some dogs can help people
to look after houses, to find the lost children, or to help blind
man to do things. i have a pet dog. playing with it makes me
happy and relaxed. let’s share the world with animals.
my hobbies
different people have different hobbies. for me,i have many
hobbies, such as reading books, watching movies, doing
sports and painting. i like reading books because i can get
lots of knowledge and find many interesting things. in my spare
time, i like watching movies because it makes me happy and
helps me to relax. i also like doing sports because it’s good for
my health. sometimes, i enjoy painting. it is great fun and i want
to be a drawer when i grow up.
what about yours ? can you tell me something about it?
which do you like better, the city or the countryside?
i live in a village, and like the countryside better.
there are ma ny cars in the city. i think it’s too noisy and
dirty. but in the countryside, it’s quiet. and the air is fresher, the
sky is bluer, and there are also many green trees and clear rivers.
people are kind there,and we can enjoy the beauty of nature. i
like walking on the country road, it can make me relaxed.
if you are in city, you can come here for your summer holiday,
it will be fun.
the internet
the internet is very interesting. it is more and more popular
with students.
it can help people do a lot of things, most students use it to
chat with their the internet,there are also a lot of songs,
movies and games,they are very can listen to
music, play games or do other things. it makes our life easier,
nicer and more colorful.
on the other hand, it’s also bad for us. some students even
lose themselves in playing computer games. they have less time
for their lessons. so i think the internet is useful,but we
shouldn’t spend too much time on it.
the internet
now, many students like playing computers very much. they
like chatting on qq,they like shopping on line .they can learn a lot
of knowledge from the internet.
but some students spend too much time playing
think it can make them clever by playing different kinds of games.
some even make friends on line. it takes them too much time to
chat with each other, so they do badly in their lessons.
i think it’s our duty to study hard, we shouldn’t spend too
much time on it.
how to save the water
water is important to all living things. all animals and plants
need water. without water, there will be no life on the earth. so
we should do our best to save and protect our water. we must
turn off the tap after we use it. we can reuse the water. for
example, after washing hands, we can ues the water to water the
flowers or vegetablesso it’s necessary to tell our parents and
