此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市,其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场,然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。这市场一直向前延伸,一眼望不到尽头,消失在远处的阴影里。

2、It is a point of honor with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment.
对于顾客来说,至关重要的一点是,不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪 样东西、想买哪样东西的。
3、The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer.
而在卖主那一方来说,他必须竭尽全力地声称,他开出的价钱使他根本无利可图,而他之所以愿意这样做完全是出于他本人对顾客的敬重。
4、(2010)The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel.
磙轴的一端与一根立柱相连, 使石磙可以绕立柱作旋转运动,另一端则套在一头蒙着眼罩的骆驼身上,通过骆驼不停地绕 圈子走动来带动石磙旋转。
5、The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders girders creak and groan , ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can . Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking
34
and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the cameis.
这套装置是由一个人操作的。他先将亚麻籽浆铲入一只大石缸里,继而动作利索 地爬上令人头晕目眩的高处系牢缆索,然后全身使劲压在一根用树干做成的粗大的横梁上, 带动缆索的滑轮装置运转。古木大梁压得嘎吱作响,缆索开始绷紧,接着便见一滴滴的油沿 着一条石槽流入一只废旧汽油桶里。随着大梁越压越低,缆索越绷越紧,大梁的嘎吱声,石 磙的辘辘声,以及骆驼不时发出的咕噜咕噜的呼吸声和叹息声响成一片,榨出的油也很快地 由涓滴细流变成了一股晶莹发亮、奔腾不止的洪流。
Lesson 2 Hiroshima -- the \"Liveliest”City in Japan
1、And secondly, because I had a lump in my throat and a lot of sad thoughts on my mind that had little to do with anything a Nippon railways official might say. The very act of stepping on this soil, in breathing this air of Hiroshima, was for me a far greater adventure than any trip or any reportorial assignment I'd previously taken. Was I not at the scene of the crime?
其次,则是因为我当时心情沉重,喉咙哽噎,忧思万缕,几乎顾不上去管那日本铁路官员说些什么。踏上这块土地,呼吸着广岛的空气,对我来说这 行动本身已是一套令人激动的经历,其意义远远超过我以往所进行的任何一次旅行或采访活 动。难道我不就是在犯罪现场吗?
2、Quite unexpectedly, the strange emotion which had overwhelmed me at the station returned, and I was again crushed by the thought that I now stood on the site of the first atomic bombardment, where thousands upon thousands of people had been slainin one second, where thousands upon thousands of others had lingered on to die in slow agony .
35
出人意料的是,刚到广岛车站时袭扰 着我的那种异样的忧伤情绪竟在这时重新袭上心头,我的心情又
Lesson 7 The Age of Miracle Chips
1、Just as the Industrial Revolution took over an immense range of tasks from men's muscles and enormously expanded productivity, so the microcomputer is rapidly assuming huge burdens of drudgery from the human brain and thereby expanding the mind’ s capacities in ways that man has only begun to grasp. With the chip, amazing feats of memory and execution become possible in everything from automobile engines to universities and hospitals, from farms to banks and corporate offices, from outer space to a baby's nursery.
正如工业革命替人 类承担了大量繁重的体力劳动,并极大地发展了生产力一样,微型计算机正迅速地替人类承 担起大量繁重的脑力劳动,并以人们现在才开始掌握的各种方式扩大了人脑的功能。有了集成电路片,计算机存储信息和执行指令的惊人本领就在以汽车发动机到大学和医院,从农场到银行和公司办公室,从外层空间到托儿所等各个领域发挥作用。
2、Such painless, productive awakenings will in time be a familiar thing. And, barring headaches, tummy aches and heartaches, the American day should proceed as smoothly as it begins.
像以上描述的那种早晨舒舒服服地起来,不费多大劲却能做好许多事情,这种情况将来会极为普通。只要没有头痛、 胃痛和心痛,美国人一天的生活会过得像一天开始时一样顺畅。
3、Public education, so often a dreary and capricious process in the U. S., may be
36
invested with the inspiriting quality of an Oxford tutorial – from preschool on.
在美国,常常 是枯燥乏味、变化无常的公共教育也将会具有像牛津大学导师制教育那样令人振奋的质量— —从学前教育开始即是这样。
4、Certainly the miracle chip will affect American life in ways both benign and productive. The computer revolution is stimulating intellects, liberating limbs and propelling mankind to a higher order of existence.
神奇的集成电路片必然会以既有益又有效的方式 影响美国生活,计算机革命正在促进人的智力发展,解放人的四肢,将人类生活提到一个更 高的水平。
Lesson 8 An Interactive Life
1、Sounds great in theory, but even the truest believers have a hard time when it comes to nailing down specifics about how it will actually work. Will we control the data via the telephone, the TV, the personal computer or a combination of all of the above? When will it be available? Will it be cheap enough for everyone? How will we negotiate such a mass of images, facts and figures and still find time to sleep? Will government regulate messages sent out on this vast data highway? And, frankly, what do we need all this stuff for anyway?
这在理论上听起来是棒极了,但一旦具体到究竟如何运作时,就连最真诚的信奉者也感 到为难。我们是通过电话、电视、家用电脑,还是上述几种方式的综合运用来支配资料?它何 时可以上市?它能便宜到人人都能买得起吗?我们怎样才能处理如此大量的图像、材料、数字 而还有时间睡觉?政府会对通过这广阔的信息公路发出的信息进行调控吗?而且,坦率地讲, 我们究竟要这些东西干什么呢?
37
2、(2010)While these developments are clever, fun and even convenient, they're not quite revolutionary. Denise Caruso, editor of Digital Media, a San Francisco-based industry newsletter, calls this \" fake interactive,\" just one step past passive viewing, pure couch-potato mode. In the most common version of this scheme, consumers will communicate with the TV through the combination of a control box and their remote control, or, perhaps, the telephone. To some degree, viewers already have accepted a certain amount of fake interactivity by channel surfing with their remotes, ordering pay-for-view movies and running up their credit-card bills on the Home Shopping Network.
尽管这些发明创造很聪明,很有趣,甚至带来很多便利,但还不算什么大的改革。设在 旧金山的工业通讯杂志《数字媒介》的编辑丹尼斯?卡鲁索把这称作“假冒的相互作用” ,只 比被动观看前进一步,纯粹是一种懒散的老式观看电视的风尚。这一方案最常见的一种说法 就是消费者通过一个操纵箱、他们的遥控器——也许还有电话——结合在一起,与电视沟通。 在某种程度上,观众已接受了一部分假冒的相互作用,如用遥控器快速选择频道,预定付钱 观看的电视,以及利用居家购物网购物,以致信用卡帐单迅速上升。
第二册《高级英语》段落翻译答案
Lesson 1 Face to face with hurricane camille迎战卡米尔号飓风
1、(2012)21段 Seconds after the roof blew off the Koshak house, john yelled, \"Up the stairs -- into our bedroom! Count the kids.\" The children huddled in the slashing rain within the circle of adults. Grandmother Koshak implored, \"Children, let's sing!\" The children were too frightened to respond. She carried on alone for a few bars; then her voice trailed away.
38
柯夏克家的屋顶一被掀走,约翰就高喊道:“快上楼一一到卧室里去!数数孩子。”在倾盆大雨中,大人们围成一圈,让孩子们紧紧地挤在中间。柯夏克老奶奶哀声切切地说道:“孩子们,咱们大家来唱支歌吧!”孩子们都吓呆了,根本没一点反应。老奶奶独个儿唱了几句,然后她的声音就完全消失了。
2、第22段Debris flew as the living-room fireplace and its chimney collapsed. With two walls in their bedroom sanctuary beginning to disintegrate, John ordered, \"Into the television room!\" This was the room farthest from the direction of the storm.
客厅的壁炉和烟囱崩塌了下来。弄得瓦砾横飞。眼看他们栖身的那间卧室电有两面墙壁行将崩塌,约翰立即命令大伙:“进电视室去!”这是离开风头最远的一个房间。
3、(2011)23段 For an instant, John put his arm around his wife. Janis understood. Shivering from the wind and rain and fear, clutching two children to her, she thought, Dear Lord, give me the strength to endure what I have to. She felt anger against the hurricane. We won't let it win.
约翰用手将妻子搂了一下。詹妮丝心里明白了他的意思。由于风雨和恐惧,她不住地发抖。她一面拉过两个孩子紧贴在自己身边,一面默祷着:亲爱的上帝啊,赐给我力量,让我经受住必须经受的一切吧。她心里怨恨这场飓风。我们一定不会让它得胜。
4、(2010)24段Pop Koshak raged silently, frustrated at not being able to do anything to fight Camille. Without reason, he dragged a cedar chest and a double mattress from a bed-room into the TV room. At that moment, the wind tore out one wall and extinguished the lantern. A second wall moved, wavered, Charlie Hill tried to support it, but it toppled on him, injuring his back. The house, shuddering and rocking, had moved 25
39
feet from its foundations. The world seemed to be breaking apart.
柯夏克老爹心中窝着一团火,深为自己在飓风面前无能为力而感到懊丧。也说不清为什么,他跑到一问卧室里去将一只杉木箱和一个双人床垫拖进了电视室。就在这里,一面墙壁被风刮倒了,提灯也被吹灭。另外又有一面墙壁在移动,在摇晃。查理.希尔试图以身子撑住它,但结果墙还是朝他这边塌了下来,把他的背部也给砸伤了。房子在颤动摇晃,已从地基上挪开了25英尺。整个世界似乎都要分崩离析了。
5、第25段\"Let's get that mattress up!\" John shouted to his father. \"Make it a lean-toagainst the wind. Get the kids under it. We can prop it up with our heads and shoulders!\"
“我们来把床垫竖起来!”约翰对父亲大声叫道。“把它斜靠着挡挡风。让孩子们躲到垫子下面去,我们可以用头和肩膀把垫子。”
6、第26段The larger children sprawledon the floor, with the smaller ones in a layer on top of them, and the adults bent over all nine. The floor tilted. The box containing the litter of kittens slid off a shelf and vanished in the wind. Spooky flew off the top of a sliding bookcase and also disappeared. The dog cowered with eyes closed. A third wall gave way. Water lapped across the slanting floor. John grabbed a door which was still hinged to one closet wall. \"If the floor goes,\" he yelled at his father, \"let's get the kids on this.\"
大一点的孩子趴在地板上,小一点的一层层地压在大的身上,大人们都弯下身子罩住他们。地板倾斜了。装着那一窝四只小猫的盒子从架上滑下来,一下子就在风中消失了。斯普琪被从一个嵌板书柜顶上刮走而不见踪影了。那只狗紧闭着双眼,缩成一团。又一面墙壁倒塌了。水拍打着倾斜的地板。约翰抓住一扇还连在壁柜墙上的门,对他父亲大声叫道:“假若地板塌了,咱们就把孩子
40
放到这块门板上面
7、第27段In that moment, the wind slightly diminished, and the water stopped rising. Then the water began receding. The main thrust of Camille had passed. The Koshaks and their friends had survived.
就在这一刹那间,风势稍缓了一些,水也不再上涨了。随后水开始退落。卡米尔号飓风的中心过去了。柯夏克一家和他们的朋友都幸存下来了。
Lesson 2 Marrakech马拉喀什见闻
1、(2010)20段 But what is strange about these people is their invisibility. For several weeks, always at about the same time of day, the file of old women had hobbled past the house with their firewood, and though they had registered themselves on my eyeballs I cannot truly say that I had seen them. Firewood was passing -- that was how I saw it. It was only that one day I happened to be walking behind them, and the curious up-and-down motion of a load of wood drew my attention to the human being beneath it. Then for the first time I noticed the poor old earth-colored bodies, bodies reduced to bones and leathery skin, bent double under the crushing weight. Yet I suppose I had not been five minutes on Moroccan soil before I noticed the overloading of the donkeys and was infuriated by it. There is no question that the donkeys are damnably treated. The Moroccan donkey is hardly bigger than a St. Bernard dog, it carries a load which in the British Army would be considered too much for a fifteen-hands mule, and very often its packsaddle is not taken off its back for weeks together. But what is peculiarly pitiful is that it is the most willing creature on earth, it follows its master like a dog and does not need either bridle or halter . After a dozen years of devoted work it suddenly drops dead, 41
whereupon its master tips it into the ditch and the village dogs have torn its guts out before it is cold.
然而这些人的真正奇特之处还在于他们的隐身的特性。一连几个星期,每天几乎在同一时候总有一队老妪扛着柴草从我房前蹒跚走过。虽然他们的身影以映入我的眼帘,但老实说,我并不曾看见她们。我所看见的是一捆捆的柴草从屋外掠过。直到有一天我碰巧走在她们身后时,堆柴草奇异的起伏动作才使我注意到原来下面有人。(2014英译汉)这才第一次看见那些与泥土同色的可怜老妪的躯体——枯瘦的只剩下皮包骨头、被沉重的负荷压得弯腰驼背的躯体。然而,我踏上摩洛哥国土还不到五分钟就已注意到驴子的负荷过重,并为此感到愤怒。驴子遭到荷虐,这是无疑的事实。摩洛哥的驴子不过如一只瑞士雪山救人犬一般大小,可它驮负的货物重量在英国军队里让一头五英尺高的大骡子来驮都嫌过重。而且,它还常常是一连几个星期不卸驮鞍。尤其让人觉得可悲的是,它是世上最驯服听话的牲畜。不需要鞍辔会僵绳。它便会像狗一样更随着自己的主人。为主人拼命干上十几年活后,它便猝然倒地死去,这时,主人就把它仍进沟里,尸体未寒,其五脏六腑便被村狗扒出来吃掉。
