青海大学大连海事大学研究生英语课后翻译

Unit 1

I don

’

t put much stock in the idea of luck. I think that usually things go well or not so well for

people based on their actions. I believe that for the most part you create your own luck by working

hard, practicing self-discipline, remaining persistent, and making personal growth a daily priority.

.

我认为大多数时候事情发展地顺利或不顺 利主要因为人们自己的

行为

.

我相信大多数的情况下你可 以通过努力工作

,

自我约束

,

坚持不懈

把个人的发展作为每

天必考虑的事情等方面创造自己的幸运

.

2 Most careers involve other people. You can have great academic intelligence and still lack social

intelligence---

the

ability

to

be

a

good

listener,

to

be

sensitive

toward

others,

to

give

and

take

criticism well

许多的职业都包含其他人

(

的参与

).

你可能具有超强的学术能力

,

然而缺少社交能力

,

即有能

力倾听别人

,

对其他人

的反应

)

敏感

,

甚至游刃有 余地给出或吸纳批评

.

3

If your circumstances constantly get you down, then maybe it’s time

for a change--- not in your

situation, but in your attitude. If you can learn to make the best of any situation, you can remove a

formidable obstacle that stands between you and your dreams

如果你周 边的环境经常让你意志消沉

,

也许你的确该改变一下了

,

可能不是改变你的位置

,

但

至少是你的态度

.

如果你能学会很好地利用任何情况

,

你就能消除掉挡在 你和你梦想之间的可

怕的障碍

.

4 Anybody can

make an honest mistake when things are hectic. But people lacking focus have

trouble not because they’re too busy, but because their priorities are out of whack. And that wastes

their time and resources. < /p>

任何人在忙忙碌碌的时候都会犯错误

.

但是注意力不集中的 人经常遇到麻烦不是因为他们太

忙了

,

而是因为他们缺乏 优先考虑的事情

.

这样

,

不仅浪费了他们的时间< /p>

,

也浪费了资源

.

5

If you resist change, you’re really resisting success. Learn flexibility, or learn to like living with

your failures.

如果你拒绝变化

,

你就是拒绝成功

.

学会 灵活

,

否则就得学会习惯忍受失败

.

6 The greater your talent, the more likely you are to lean heavily on it and skip the hard day-to-day

work of improving it. If you possess this negative tendency, put yourself on a growth plan so that

you can make the most of your God-given talent.

你的天分越大

,

你就有可能越倚赖于天分

,

甚至跳过日复一日完善它的工作

如果你有了这样

消极的倾向

,

给自 己定一个进步计划

,

这样你就能充分利用好上帝给你的天赋

.

Unit 2

Today, many institutions seem to be ignoring the liberal arts in favor of a curriculum that leans

more and more toward vocational careers in some trade or occupation.

现在，

很多院校似乎忽视文科，

课程的设置越来越偏重那些面 向某一行业或某一职业的教育。

1. Teachers and professors too often are portrayed as idealists living in an ivory tower who are out

of touch with real world. They are accused of emphasizing academic skills or studies that do not

relate directly to helping a person move closer to a prospective job or career.

老师、

教授常被描述成生活在象牙塔中的理想主义者，

他们不谙世事，

只强调理论知识的学

习，而这些知识对人 们进一步走向未来的工作或职业并没有直接关系。

The problem is that most students now view higher education as a particular means to a particular

end.

问题是现在很多学生把高等教育看成是达到某种目的的某种手段。

2. The justification for a university is that it preserves the connection between knowledge and the

zest of life, by uniting the young and the old in the imaginative consideration of learning.

大学之所以存在是因为它维系了学习知识和热爱生活二者间的联系 。

这种结合是在对学习充

满想象的思考中，通过把现在和过去联系起来而 得以实现。

.

The student ―has four y

ears to discover himself a space between the intellectual wasteland he has

left behind and the inevitable dreary professional training that awaits him after the baccalaureate.

学生“有四年的时间来发现他已经越 过的知识荒漠与毕业后必然面对的单调的职业培训之

间还有多大的距离。”

to

see

his

or

a

but

in

a

continuous

chain of

that

of

years

and

小，却至关重要。这链条的前面有数 千年的历史，并向无限的未来延伸。

does not consist of taking courses in small segments. A productive life consists of finding

huge tasks and mastering them with whatever tools of intelligence and energy we have.

We are going to turn you loose on some huge tasks. Let's see what you can do with them. < /p>

人生不是孤立地学习一些课程，

充实的人生应该是找到艰巨的任务，

然后尽我们所能—用我

们的知识、

力量来完成。

我们准备放手让你们来完成一些艰巨的任务。

让我们拭目以待—看

看你们 如何来完成。

us create environments where our students can grow and emerge as creative

and thinking

persons

–

individuals who know history, philosophy, religion, literature, etc. After all, these are the

adventures.

让我们为学 生营造环境，使他们成长为有创造性、有思想的人—懂历史、哲学、宗教、文学

等等的个 体。毕竟，这些学科是“自由的艺术”，学习它们可以解放思想，有助于学生对陌

生、神 秘事物的探求。

6.

If

we

accept

what Upham

says,

and

we

are

committed

to

preparing

our

students

for

the

real

world beyond graduation, then there can be a promising future for the liberal arts in this growing

age of technology.

如果我们可以接受乌帕姆所讲的话，

我们就有 义务帮助学生面对他们毕业后所接触的真实的

世界。那么在这个技术日益发展的时代，文 科才可能有光明的未来。

Unit 3

1.

Indeed,

globalization

became

the

―grand

strategy‖

of

the

Clinton

administration,

which

envisioned the U.S. elite being the primus inter pares -- first among equals --- of a global coalition

leading the way to the new, benign world order.

的确，

全球化成 为克林顿政府的

“大战略”，视美国精英为能建立新的良性世界秩序的全球

联盟中的首席—同等者之首。

2. ―Trade liberalization has stalled, aid is less coherent than it should be, and the next financial

conflagration will be managed by an injured fireman.‖

“贸易自由化陷入停顿，

援助也未按计划贯穿始终，

扑救下次金融大火的将是一位自身负伤

的消防员。”

3. There has been too much dissonance between the promise of globalization and free trade and

the actual results of neoliberal policies, which have been more poverty, inequality, and stagnation.

全球化和自由贸易许诺的美好前景与新自由主义贸易政策的实际结果有着太多的不一致，

新

自由主义贸易政策带来的是加倍的贫困、更高程度 的不平等和更严重的经济停滞。

4. These agreements are in many ways more dangerous than the multilateral negotiations at the

WTO

since

they

often

require

greater

concessions

in

terms

of

market

access

and

tighter

enforcement of intellectual property rights.

这 些协议常要求就市场准入做出更大的让步、

对知识产权实施更严格的保护，

因此在 许多方

面比世贸组织的多边谈判更加危险

.

n years since it was trumpeted as the wave of the future, globalization seems to have been

a ―brave new phase‖ of the capitalist adventure than a desperate effort by global capital to escape

the

stagnation

and

disequilibria

overtaking

the

global

economy

in

the

1970s

and

1980s.

The

collapse

of

the

centralized

socialist

regimes

in

Central

and

Eastern

Europe

deflected

people’s

attention from this reality in the early 1990s.

自从全球化被鼓吹为大势 所趋以来，

时间已经过去了十五个年头。

全球化似乎并不是资本家

探索开拓的

“大胆的新阶段”

，

更多的倒是全球资本为摆 脱上世纪七八十年代席卷全球经济

的经济发展的停滞和不均衡所做的孤注一掷的努力。< /p>

二十世纪九十年代早期中东欧中央集权

的社会主义国家的解体把人们的注意 力从这一事实上转移开去。

6. The urgent task is not to steer corporate-

driven globalization in a ―social democratic‖ direction

but to manage its retreat so that it does not bring about the same chaos and runaway conflicts that

marked its demise in that earlier era.

迫切的任务并非将受公司驱动 的全球化转为

“社会民主”

方向，

而是要妥善应付它的衰退趋

势，使其不再引起与其早期消亡标志相同的混乱和失控的冲突。

Unit 4

THE

long-run

value

of

all paper

currencies

is

zero. So

why

should

the

dollar be

any

different?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president decried the dollar as a ―worthless piece of paper‖.

所有纸币的长期价值为零，因此，为什么美元就应该与众不同呢？伊朗总统哈迈迪
