Unit 5 : Translation1) 如果大学生对考试过于投入就可能把能力与奉献放到次要的地位，这样说一点也不过分。(push to the fringes)2. 有人认为考试是很重要的，但也有人认为考试有不少弊端。所以考试留下了一个未能解决的问题-考试对教育有什么影响？ （open question)3. 没有挑战就没有反应，没有发展，没有自由。 所以，我们首先应该在我们孩子的能力允许的范围内为他们开设最严格最富有挑战性的课程。4.我们今天需要的是大批受过教育,关心他人的人,作为公民,他们能团结一致,齐心协力,互相学习 ,参与到民主进程之中.( bang together, in the spirit of ) 5. 大学教育的结果应由学生在课堂上的种种表现来衡量,比如他们是否精于知识的运用,是否接受了扎实的基础教育及是否在某一领域称职.( become competent in )6 Freedom is not only a privilege, it is a test”. These are hard words, but they are brutally true. If we deprive our children of the right to fail we deprive them of their knowledge of the world as it is. 7. The goal of education is not to indoctrinate students, but to set them free in the world of ideas and provide a climate in which ethical and moral choices can be thoughtfully examined, and convictions formed. 8.Dwarfing all other concerns, the mushroom cloud hangs ominously over our world consciousness. These realities and the obligations they impose must be understood by every student.9.Undergraduates are searching for identity and meaning and, like the rest of us, they are torn by idealism of service on the one hand, and on the other, the temptation to retreat into a world that never rises above self-interest.10. Man cannot behold except he be committed. He cannot find himself without finding a center beyond himself. The idealism of the undergraduate experience must reflect itself in loyalties that transcend self.key1.It is not too much to say that if undergraduates excessively devote themselves to examinations, the will push competence and commitment to the fringes. 2.Some people think examinations are second to none, but some think examinations have a lot of disadvantages. Examinations leave us an open essential question - what influence do examinations exert on education? 3. Without challenge there is no response, no development, no freedom. So first we owe to our children the most demanding, challenging curriculum that is within their capabilities. 4.What we need today are groups of well-informed, caring individuals who band together in the spirit of community to learn from one another, to participate, as citizens, in the democratic process.5. The outcomes of collegiate education should be measured by the students performance in the classroom as he becomes proficient in the use of knowledge, acquires a solid basic education, and becomes competent in a specific field.6. 自由不仅是一种特权，也是一种考验。这些话听起来很刺耳，但都是残酷的事实。如果我们剥夺了孩子的失败权力，实际上我们就剥夺了他们如实地认识世界的机会。 7.教育的目的不是要向学生灌输什么，而是要把他们从许许多多杂乱无章的思想中解放出来，为他们提供一种氛围，让他们能够彻底检验自己在伦理及道德上的选择，从而形成自己的信念。8.与笼罩在我们人类心灵上不祥的蘑菇云相比，其他一切问题都显得那么渺小，每个学生都应了解这些现实及由此带来的种种责任。9.大学生们在寻求价值认同与生活的意义，并且正如我们其他人一样，令他们深感苦恼的是如何面对一方面是服务他人的理想主义，另一方面是遁入一个永远停留在自我利益的小圈子中的诱惑。10人只有承担义务才能了解自我，只有找到一个超越自我以外的中心，才能发现自我，最理想的本科教育应该反映在真正的超越自我之中。Unit 5 Vocabulary1.

AUnit 7Translate the following sentences from English to Chinese (If time permits, memorize them.)1. While this boundary does not mark the outer limit of a States territory, since in international law the territorial sea forms part of a States territory, it does represent the demarcation(分界，定界，界限)between that maritime area(internal waters) where other States enjoy no general rights, and those maritime areas (the territorial sea and other zones) where other States do enjoy certain general rights.尽管这条分界线并不算是国家领土的外缘边界，但是，因为在国际法中领海也是国家领土的组成部分，它的确是其他国家在其内不享有一般权利的海区（内水域）与其他国家在其中享有某些一般权利的那些海区（领海及其他区域）之间的分界线。2. He finds that students who were easy to teach because they succeeded in putting everything they had been taught into practice, hesitate when confronted with the vast untouched area of English vocabulary and usage which falls outside the scope of basic textbooks.他发现原先比较容易教的学生现在踌躇不前了：原先比较容易教是因为他们能把教给他们的所有东西都付诸实践；现在踌躇是因为他们面对着大量的在基础教科书上所没有接触过的英语词汇和惯用法。3. Whenever I read a book or a passage that particularly pleased me, in which a thing was said or an effect rendered with propriety, in which there was either some conspicuous force or some happy distinction in the style, I must sit down at once and set myself to ape that quality. I was unsuccessful, and I knew it; and tried again, and was again unsuccessful and always unsuccessful; but at least in these vain bouts I got some practice in rhythm, in harmony, in construction and the coordination of parts.每当我读到特别中意的书籍或段落， 其中有某一件事说得恰到好处， 收到恰如其分的效果，或者表达得特别有力，或者在风格上有巧妙的特色，我非立即坐下来模仿这些特点不可。当然不成功， 我自已明白；再试一次，还是不成功，而且一直不成功；可是在这些失败的尝试中我至少在韵律、在匀称、在篇章结构方面得到了练习的机会。4. Etiquette to society is what apparel is to the individual. Without apparel men would go in shameful nudity which would surely lead to the corruption of morals; and without etiquette society would be in a pitiable state and the necessary intercourse between its members would be interfered with by needless offences and troubles .If society were a train, the etiquette would be the rails along which only the train could rumble forth; if society were a state coach, the etiquette would be the wheels and axis on which only the coach could roll forward.礼仪之于社会犹如衣着之于个人。人若不穿衣服，就会一丝不挂，令人耻笑，必然导致道德败坏；社会要是没有礼仪，就会陷入可悲的境地，而社会成员之间所必需的交往就会被无谓的冲突和纠纷所干扰。假定社会是一列火车，礼仪就好比轨道，火车只能沿着它隆隆前进。假定社会是一辆贵宾车，礼仪就好比轮子与轴，马车只有靠它们才能滚滚前进。Short-answer questions:Skills:(1) What are candidates required to do?

Or to be more accurate, it drove itself.Your correspondent, when his turn came, found his hands hovering nervously over the steering wheel as the car accelerated to 50 miles (80 km) an hour while it maneuvered itself dexterously around a winding course of traffic cones (锥形交通路标). But not a single cone was brushed. Drivers who disconnected the automatic steering generally fared less well.The car, a modified commercial saloon, is the prototype for a grander experiment that is due to begin just north of San Diego in the summer. On August 8th, if all goes well, a 7 mile stretch of Interstate-15 is supposed to open as the worlds first “intelligent” highway. A small fleet of vehicles similar to the one at Berkeley will then spend several months charging up and down it to find out whether the idea of “hands off” driving actually works in practice.The I-15 experiment is the brainchild of the National Automated Highway System Consortium, a federally sponsored initiative to take driving out of the hands of people and put it into the circuits of computers. This would have two advantages.From the drivers point of view, it would allow someone to sit and read the newspaper, surf the Internet or even catch up on some much needed sleep. From a traffic planners point of view, it should, by eliminating human reaction times and the uncertainties of each driver about other drivers intentions, be possible to “platoon” cars more closely together and drive them faster than could happen if each were under the control of a person. This would allow the capacities of trunk roads to be doubled or tripled without having to widen or replace them. Given that fitting out I-15 is expected to cost around $10,000 a mile (compared with $1 million a mile to build a new road), that is quite attractive.1. What is new about the vehicle being tested at the University of California, Berkeley?2. What is an “intelligent highway”?3. What is the advantage of an intelligent highway from the drivers point of view?4. What are the chief advantages of an intelligent highway from the traffic planners point of view?5. What is the advantage of fitting out an intelligent highway in terms of cost?Keys:1. The vehicle steers itself automatically.2. An “intelligent highway” is one which computers take care of the driving.3. It frees people of the driving and allows them to rest or work.4. It eliminates human errors and increases the capacities of trunk roads.5. It costs only one percent of the money needed for the building of new roads.Unit 3 EconomicsTranslation 1:福建晋江市福林嘉豪五金家私厂是一家设计、开发、制做、安装配套鞋服专卖展厅及家俱为一体的公司。目前拥有一批高素质的设计师，300多名技术精湛专业生产人员，现代化的生产设备，生产厂房12000多平方。 公司一贯坚持“以质量求生存，以信誉求发展”的经营原则；富贵鸟货柜等畅销出口美国及中东地区，以优良的品质和良好的信誉赢得了广大客户的一致好评。真诚欢迎您光临我们公司实地考查。Jinjiang FulinJiahao Hardware & Furniture Factory is integrating in design, development, manufacturing, shoes and clothes shops fixing and furniture production.
