第一篇：英語經(jīng)典段落

1、I don’t think that there is anything massively disruptive about this shifting sense of community.The continuing search for connection and shared enterprise is very human.But I do feel uncomfortable with our shifting identity.The balance has tipped, and we seem increasingly dependent on work for our sense of self.If our offices are our new neighborhoods, if our professional titles are our new ethnic tags, then how do we separate ourselves from our jobs? Selfworth isn’t just something to measure in the marketplace.But in these new communities, it becomes harder to tell who we are without saying what we do.2、Onward and upward was the course she set.Small progress was no excuse for feeling satisfied with yourself.People who stopped to pat themselves on the back didn’t last long.Even if you got to the top, you’d better not take it easy.“The bigger they come, the harder they fall” was one of her favorite maxims.It wasn’t the gin that was shouting.It was my mother.The gin only gave me the courage to announce to them that yes, by God, I had always believed in success, had always believed that without hard work and self-discipline you could never amount to anything, and didn’t deserve to

3、With no idea what to do next, I resolved literally to “sail off into the sunset,” following the coastline from Connecticut to Florida.But somewhere off New Jersey I turned due east, straight out to sea.Hours later, I climbed up on the stern rail and watched the dark Atlantic slip beneath the hull.How easy it would be to let the water take me, I thought.Everyone, at some point, will suffer a loss — the loss of loved ones, good health, a job.“It’s your ‘desert experience’ — a time of feeling barren of options, even hope,” explains Patrick Del Zoppo, a psychologist and bereavement specialist with the Archdiocese of New York.“The important thing is not to allow yourself to be stranded in the desert.”

4、Happiness is never more than partial.There are no pure states of mankind.Whatever else happiness may be, it is neither in having nor in being, but in becoming.What the Founding Fathers declared for us as an inherent right, we should do well to remember, was not happiness but the pursuit of happiness.What they might have underlined, could they have foreseen the happiness market, is the cardinal fact that happiness is in the pursuit itself, in the meaningful pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, which is to say, in the idea of becoming.A nation is not measured by what it possesses or wants to possess, but by what it wants to become.By all means let the happiness-market sell us minor satisfactions and even minor follies so long as we keep them in scale and buy them out of spiritual change.I am no customer for either Puritanism or asceticism.But drop any real spiritual capital at those bazaars, and what you come home to will be your own poorhouse.6、What they should say is “Don’t be afraid to fail!” Failure isn’t fatal.Countless people have had a bout with it and come out stronger as a result.Many have even come out famous.History is strewn with eminent dropouts, “l(fā)oners” who followed their own trail, not worrying about its odd twists and turns because they had faith in their own sense of direction.To read their biographies is always exhilarating, not only because they beat the system, but because their system was better than the one that they beat.Who is to say, then, if there is any right path to the top, or even to say what the top consists of? Obviously the colleges don’t have more than a partial answer — otherwise the young would not be so disaffected with an education that they consider vapid.Obviously business does not have the answer — otherwise the young would not be so scornful of its call to be an organization man.7、Fatherlessness is the most harmful demographic trend of this generation.It is the leading cause of the decline in the well-being of children.It is also the engine driving our most urgent social problems, from crime to adolescent pregnancy to domestic violence.Yet, despite its scale and social consequences, fatherlessness is frequently ignored or denied.Especially within our elite discourse, it remains a problem with no name.Surely a crisis of this scale merits a name and a response.At a minimum, it requires a serious debate: Why is fatherhood declining? What can be done about it? Can our society find ways to invigorate effective fatherhood as a norm of male behavior? Yet, to date, our public discussion has been remarkably weak and defeatist.There is a prevailing belief that not much can or even should be done to reverse the trend.10、I have always been intrigued by the African tribal maxim that it takes a village to raise a child.In a similar sense, I would argue it takes the whole campus community — students, faculty, and administrators — to effectively educate a student.If our only goal is to reduce cheating, there are far simpler strategies we can employ.But if we have the courage to set our sights higher, and strive to achieve the goals of a liberal education, the challenge is much greater.Among other things, it is a challenge to develop students who accept responsibility for the ethical consequences of their ideas and actions.Our goal should not simply be to reduce cheating;rather, our goal should be to find innovative and creative ways to use academic integrity as a building block in our efforts to develop more responsible students and, ultimately, more responsible citizens.Our campuses must become places where the entire “village” — the community of students, faculty, and administrators — actively works together to achieve this goal.Having decided that sanctions do little more than to permanently mar a student’s record, an increasing number of schools are taking a more educational approach to academic dishonesty.They are striving to implement strategies that will help offending students understand the ethical consequences of their behavior.These strategies seem often to be win-win situations.Faculty are more willing to report suspected cheating, or to address it themselves, when they understand that educational rather than punitive sanctions are likely to result.

l Enhance Awareness to Guard against Campus Thefts “If you don’t want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you’d better put them on in sleep,” goes a popular joke among students.Obviously, campus thefts have become increasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before.And it seems that the thieves are less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses, pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear.In short, anything that worth a dime is likely to be stolen.What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find.But I believe of all these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important one.For lack of alertness, the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at night in summer.For the same reason, they’ll also leave their bikes unlocked outside a store or by a road, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make a phone call.These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingered monsters.In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, as awareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference.To be more specific, the students should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm.Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended.Take them wherever you go.In addition, it’s advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students in the dorm and neighbouring dorms.第一段思路點評：

第五篇：英語優(yōu)美段落及翻譯

Unit one A An artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction.藝術(shù)家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了繼續(xù)追逐不知還能做些什么。成功之殘酷正在于它常常讓那些追逐成功者自尋毀滅。

Fame's spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle—a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure.It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be.The performer, like the politician, must often please his or her audiences by saying things he or she does not mean or fully believe.名氣這盞聚光燈可比熱帶叢林還要炙熱。騙局很快會被揭穿，過多的關(guān)注帶來的壓力會讓大多數(shù)人難以承受。它讓你失去自我。你必須是公眾認(rèn)可的那個你，而不是真實的你或是可能的你。藝人，就像政客一樣，必須常常說些違心或連自己都不完全相信的話來取悅聽眾。

One drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man's soul, and so an artist who remains true to himself or herself is particularly amazing.You would be hard-pressed to underline many names of those who have not compromised and still succeeded in the fame game.一滴名氣之水有可能玷污人的心靈這一整口井，因此一個藝術(shù)家若能保持真我，會格外讓人驚嘆。你可能答不上來哪些人沒有妥協(xié)，卻仍然在這場名利的游戲中獲勝。

Unit three B I hadn't noticed the five men performing at the side of the stage as an introduction to the show.“They're seated cross-legged on a rug, dressed in loose white cotton shirts and large black trousers, with fabric around their waists that has been dyed bright red.Three are young lads, one is middle-aged and one is elderly.One beats a small drum, another plays a wooden stringed instrument, and the other three have smaller, violin-like pieces they play with a bow.” 我并沒注意到舞臺那頭的五個人，他們在奏著演出的開場樂曲?！八麄儽P著腿坐在小地毯上，身著寬松的白色棉布襯衫和肥大的黑褲，腰系染成鮮紅色的布帶。他們中三個是年輕小伙子，還有一位中年樂手和一位老年樂手。他們中一個擊鼓，另一個奏著木制的弦樂器，另外三個用琴弓拉著一種類似小提琴但要小一些的樂器?！?/p>

Unit five A Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it's more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin.On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero.The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas.Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town.Now, that's character for you.孤獨或許是這里的一種民族弊病，我們羞于承認(rèn)它，甚于其他任何罪惡。而另一方面，刻意選擇獨處，拒絕別人的陪伴而非為同伴所棄，卻是美國式英雄的一個特點。孤獨的獵人或探險者去鹿群和狼群中冒險，征服廣袤的荒野時，并不需要有人陪伴。梭羅獨居在湖畔的小屋，有意疏離城市生活?，F(xiàn)在，你應(yīng)有這樣的個性。

Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity for poets and philosophers.They're all for it.They all speak highly of themselves for seeking it out, at least for an hour or even two before they hurry home for tea.獨處的靈感是詩人和哲學(xué)家們最有用的東西。他們都贊成獨處，都因能夠獨處而自視甚高，至少在他們匆忙趕回家喝茶之前的一兩個小時之內(nèi)是這樣。

Thoreau had his own self-importance for company.Perhaps there's a message here: The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around.The more modest and humble we feel, the more we suffer from solitude, feeling ourselves inadequate company.梭羅以自尊自重為伴。也許這里的啟示是：自我意識越強，就越不需要其他的人在周圍。我們越是感覺謙卑，就越受孤獨的折磨，感到僅與自己相處遠遠不夠。

Unit seven A Once the genes for surface features such as skin color and height are discounted, the “races” are remarkably alike under the skin.The variation among individuals is much greater than the differences among groups.In fact, there is no scientific basis for theories advocating the genetic superiority of any one population over another.如果不考慮影響膚色、身高等表面特征的基因，不同的“種族”在外表之下相似地令人吃驚。個體之間的差異遠遠大于群體之間的差異。實際上，那種認(rèn)為某一種群比另一種群的基因更優(yōu)越的理論是毫無科學(xué)根據(jù)的 B The not too surprising result was that the children whose parents were simply supportive were happier than average but were not particularly intense in their concentration when studying or working on something.The children who fared best were those whose parents were both supportive and stimulating.These children showed a reasonable level of happiness and were very alert during periods of study.結(jié)果并不太出人意外。支持型父母的孩子所感到的快樂程度高于平均水平，但學(xué)習(xí)或做事時精力卻不是那么高度集中。表現(xiàn)最好的孩子的父母結(jié)合了支持和激勵型的教育。這些孩子顯示了相當(dāng)不錯的快樂感，在學(xué)習(xí)過程中反應(yīng)也很敏捷。

There is general agreement that genuine biological differences exist between individuals;geniuses need to be lucky in both their genes and their parents.The most significant implication would seem to be that while most people are in a good position to fulfill their biological potential—barring serious illnesses or a poor diet during childhood—it is far from certain that they will grow up in an environment where that capacity will be developed.人們普遍認(rèn)為，個體之間存在著生理差異，要成為天才必須幸運地既擁有天才的基因，又擁有能造就天才的父母。最重要的啟示似乎是：盡管大多數(shù)人都有條件很好地去發(fā)揮他們的生理潛能──除非童年時得了嚴(yán)重疾病，或飲食太差──但是，他們能否成長在一個能開發(fā)其能力的環(huán)境中則很不確定。

Unit eight A On the ground before you is the pile it held—so much like the piles in the other bags, could they be emptied, that all might be combined and mixed in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly.A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter.Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them in the first place—who knows? 面前的地上則是袋中所裝的那堆東西──與其他袋子中所倒出的東西幾乎一模一樣，如果把它們混成一大堆，再分裝到各自的袋中，也不會有多大的不同。多少有點有色玻璃片也沒有什么關(guān)系。也許當(dāng)初上帝這個裝袋者往我們各自的袋中填塞時正是這么做的，誰知道呢？ Unit ten A What is the most valuable contribution employees make to their companies, knowledge or judgment? I say judgment.Knowledge, no matter how broad, is useless until it is applied.And application takes judgment, which involves something of a sixth sense—a high performance of the mind.員工對公司最有價值的貢獻是什么，是知識還是判斷力？我說是判斷力。不管知識面有多寬，如果得不到應(yīng)用，就毫無用處。而知識的應(yīng)用需要判斷力，判斷力涉及某種第六感覺──思維的高度運用。

But the latest research seems to imply that without the software of emotional maturity and self-knowledge, the hardware of academic training alone is worth less and less.但最新的研究似乎表明，缺乏情感成熟和自我了解這一軟件，純學(xué)術(shù)性的培訓(xùn)這一硬件越來越?jīng)]有價值。

B By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened.A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out for the second piece of candy generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers.The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible.They could not endure stress and shied away from challenges.到這些孩子上高中時，引人注目的事發(fā)生了。對這些孩子的家長和教師所作的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些四歲時就能克制自己，堅持等到第二塊糖的孩子長大后通常有較強的適應(yīng)力，更合群，更富有進取心、自信心，也更可靠。那些老早就經(jīng)不住誘惑的孩子更容易變得孤獨，容易受挫，缺乏靈活性。他們受不了壓力，逃避挑戰(zhàn)。

For most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind;the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets.But brain theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: Why some people just seem to have a gift for living well;why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest;why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others;why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds? 在本世紀(jì)大部分時間，科學(xué)家們一直重視大腦這個具體之物和思維這個無形之物，而把情感這一紛亂的力量留給詩人去談?wù)摗５竽X研究理論就是無法解釋我們最想弄清的問題：為什么有些人似乎就是有過上好日子的才能；為什么班里最聰明的孩子很可能最終并不是最富有的；為什么我們幾乎僅憑第一眼印象就喜歡有些人，而對另一些人則信不過；為什么有些人面對困難仍能保持樂觀，而另一些人則堅持不住，沉淪下去。一句話，思維或精神的何種素質(zhì)決定人的成功？
