第一篇：廣西學位英語課文翻譯Unit Three 永不放棄

廣西學位英語課文翻譯Unit Three 永不放棄 They told him to quit, that he wasn't good enough,but figure skater Paul Wylie refused to listen.When he stepped off the plane in Washington,D.C., following the 1992 Winter Games, and

everyone in the terminal started clapping, Paul Wylie

almost stopped in his tracks.Who's behind me? He

wondered.Despite the silver medal in his pocket, he

couldn't believe that the applause was for him.From

that moment on, Paul recognized that his life would

never be the same.The silver medal he earned in Albertville, France, ushered the 27-year-old figure skater into a

newexistence.He was no longer a no

body who choked at big events, like the 1988Calgary

Olympics, where he finished an unimpressive 10th.No longer the recipient of advice from

judges who, after Paul's performance in the '91 World Championships, suggested that he quit:

“Make room for the younger skaters.”

No longer the target of loaded questions from reporters covering the '91 Olympic Trials(“What are you doing here?”).No longer the skater incapable of finishing ahead of U.S.National Champion Todd Eldredge or three-time defending World ChampionKurtBrowning of Canada.Now Paul Wylie was an Olympic hero.He was anathlete who kept going when doubters

suggested he quit.He was a recent Harvard University graduate who had frequently fantasized

about life without grueling hours on the ice, but who persevered anyway.He was a young man

who had discovered and demonstrated that goals can be reached no matter how many

obstacles and botched attempts lie in the way.“A reporter who interviewed me at the ClosingCeremonies told me, 'You came here an

unknown and now you go home a hero,'” Paul says.“I thought that was interesting, because I

was in France and unaware of how my journey was unfolding on U.S.television.It wasn't until

I stepped off the plane that I realized people considered me a hero.They were changed by my

story.They were changed by the fact that I wasable to persevere and win the silver medal

even though almost everyone had counted me out.”

At times, Paul had almost counted himself out.“Two months before the '92 Olympics, USA

Today did a survey of different athletes and asked, 'How often do you contemplate

retirement?' The choices were: 'yearly,' 'monthly' or 'weekly.'

”I wrote, 'daily,' because it was hard to keep going.But I just decided, I'm going to

persevere and hang in there, because I have ashot.“Things definitely changed in 1992 in Albertville.”To have my story be one that brought tears

to people's eyes, because of the way it turned aroundnot just in acrisis or more visible situation.an Olympic medal loses its luster after years ofstorage, a hero will lose his credibility if he

stops looking to the needs of others.When Pauljoins the thousands of others watching the

Olympics in Salt Lake City, he knows that behind the scenes of each victory, of each

record-setting finish, stand countless stories of everyday heroes.Heroes who refuse to giveup.人們勸他引退，說他天分不夠，但是花樣滑冰選手保羅·懷利拒絕放棄。1992年冬奧會閉幕后，保羅·懷利抵達華盛頓。走下飛機時，歡迎的人群開始鼓掌。他差點停下了腳步。誰在后面呀？他心里嘀咕。雖說有銀牌在囊中，他怎么也不敢相信這掌聲是獻給他的。從那一刻起，保羅意識到自己的生活從此永遠地改變了。

這位27歲的花樣滑冰運動員在法國的阿爾貝維爾獲得了銀牌，從此走向全新的生活。1988年的卡爾加里冬奧會上，他表現(xiàn)平平，只得了第10名，可如今他再也不是在大型賽事中舉止失措的無名小卒了；1991年的世界錦標賽上，保羅比賽完后，裁判建議他退出冰壇，“給年輕選手讓位”，如今再也聽不到這樣的建議了。

跟蹤報道1991年冬奧會選拔賽的記者們曾問他“你來這兒干什么？”，如今再也不會有這種別有用心的提問了。他再也不是美國冠軍托德·埃爾德雷奇的手下敗將，再也不會被三度問鼎世界冠軍寶座的加拿大運動員庫爾特·布朗寧甩在身后。

現(xiàn)在保羅·懷利成了奧運英雄。雖然有些人對他沒有信心，建議他放棄，可他仍然勇往直前。雖然這個剛出校門的哈佛畢業(yè)生經?；孟?，離開嚴酷的冰上訓練生活會是怎樣，但依然苦苦堅持著；這個年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)：不管途中有多少障礙，要經歷多少次失敗，目標終能實現(xiàn)，而且他證明了這一點。

保羅說：“閉幕式上我接受采訪，有個記者對我說，?你來時不為人知，歸時卻名揚四海?。我覺得這話很有意思，因為我當時在法國，根本不知道美國電視是怎么報道這次法國之旅的。走下飛機，我才意識到人們把我當成了英雄。他們對我的看法改變了，因為我們獲勝了。他們的看法改變了，因為我堅持不懈并且得了銀牌，雖然沒什么人看好我?！?/p>

有時，保羅也幾乎不看好自己了?！?2年冬奧會兩個月前，《今日美國》對運動員們進行了一次調查，問道，你經?？紤]退役嗎？選項有：?每年?、?每月?、?每周??！?/p>

“我寫的是?每天?，因為要堅持下去實在是太難了。但我還是下定決心要堅持下去，決不放棄，我要全力拼搏?！?/p>

1992年在阿爾貝維爾，事情完全改觀了。保羅說：“我的經歷使人們熱淚

盈眶，因為結果出人意料。這同時也改變了我的生活，我看著自己的冰上生涯從此被改寫，變得精彩紛呈。其實也可能會是另一種結局：多年的努力化為烏有，結果令人大失所望。”

手中拿著獎牌，保羅突然進入到一個全新的世界：財源不斷的簽約、花樣滑冰巡回賽、獨家采訪、追星族要求簽名?？傊?，凡是一個聲名雀起的英雄能得到的一切他都得到了，但保羅認為這一頭銜值得稱道的東西遠不在此。保羅說：“無私的奉獻能造就真正的英雄；用自己的經歷和行為激勵別人上進，變得更高尚，也算是一種英雄。我認為我沒有無私地奉獻，但上帝用我的生活經歷去激勵了別的人。”

保羅還說，英雄是需要日日維護的。要達到完美的地步，滑冰選手需苦練每個細小的動作，日復一日不能懈怠，英雄也一樣，應該日日奉獻，而不只是在危機關頭或者在眾人矚目之時才有所作為。

Para.9 Immigration often raises concerns in the country that immigrants hope to make their new homes.= 移民滿懷希望在落戶地開創(chuàng)新家園常常引起人們的擔憂。

There are often insecure feelings over jobs, with some thinking so that each new immigrant encroaches on the wealth shared by those already there.= 本地人擔心新移民會搶走一部分工作，瓜分已有的財產。

But today, Indian food has surpassed even the traditional British fish and chips as the most popular cuisine in Britain.= 可是在今天，印度食品賣得比英國傳統(tǒng)食品——炸魚和炸薯條還好，成為在英國最受歡迎的食品。

Para.11 For whatever reason a person immigrates, he takes to his new country something more valuable than skills or a willingness to work---courage.= 不論一個人出于什么原因移民，都會給新的國家?guī)肀仁炙嚭凸ぷ鳠崆楦匾臇|西：勇氣。
