然而，經(jīng)營小本生意絕非易事，在失去穩(wěn)定的收入后，南希不得不削減日常開支。有時(shí)候她甚至沒有錢支付她所需要的種種保險(xiǎn)的費(fèi)用。

幸運(yùn)的是，通過自己的努力，她已經(jīng)度過了最困難的時(shí)期，她決心繼續(xù)追求她所向往的更加美好的生活。

第五篇：大學(xué)英語課文翻譯

夢(mèng)今年夏天，超過 65 萬的大學(xué)生畢業(yè)離校，其中有許多人根本不知道怎么找工作。在當(dāng)今金融危機(jī)的背景下，做父母的該如何激勵(lì)他們？七月，你看著 21 歲英俊的兒子穿上學(xué)士袍，戴上四方帽，驕傲地握著優(yōu)等學(xué)士學(xué)位證書，拍畢業(yè)照。這時(shí)，記憶中每年支付幾千英鎊，好讓兒子吃好、能參加奇特聚會(huì)的印象開始消退。總算熬到頭了。等到暑假快要結(jié)束，全國各地的學(xué)生正在為新學(xué)期做準(zhǔn)備的時(shí)候，你發(fā)現(xiàn)大學(xué)畢業(yè)的兒子還歪躺在沙發(fā)上看電視。他只是偶爾走開去發(fā)短信，瀏覽社交網(wǎng)站 Facebook，去酒吧喝酒。這位前―千禧一代‖的后裔一夜之間變成了哼哼一代的成員。他能找到工作嗎？這就是成千上萬家庭所面臨的景象：今年夏天，超過 65 萬大學(xué)生畢業(yè)，在當(dāng)今金融危機(jī)的背景下他們中的大多數(shù)人不知道自己下一步該做什么。父母只會(huì)嘮叨，而兒女們則毫無緣由地變成了叛逆者，他們知道自己該找份工作，但卻不知道如何去找。來自米德爾塞克斯郡的杰克古德溫今年夏天從諾丁漢大學(xué)政治學(xué)系畢業(yè)，獲得二級(jí)一等榮譽(yù)學(xué)士學(xué)位。他走進(jìn)大學(xué)就業(yè)服務(wù)中心，又徑直走了出來，因?yàn)樗匆姾芏嗳嗽谀抢锱砰L(zhǎng)隊(duì)。跟他一起住的另外 5 個(gè)男孩也都跟他一樣，進(jìn)去又出來了。找工作的壓力不大，雖然他所認(rèn)識(shí)的大多數(shù)女生都有更清晰的計(jì)劃。他說：―我申請(qǐng)政治學(xué)研究工作，但被拒了。他們給的年薪是 1 萬 8 千鎊，交完房租后所剩無幾，也就夠買一罐煮豆子，可他們還要有研究經(jīng)歷或碩士學(xué)位的人。然后我又申請(qǐng)了公務(wù)員速升計(jì)劃，并通過了筆試。但在面試時(shí)，他們說我?太冷漠‘了，談吐?太像專家治國國論者‘。我覺得自己不可能那樣，但我顯然就是那樣的?！蚰且院笏麄€(gè)夏天都在―躲‖。他能夠輕松復(fù)述《交通警察》中的若干片段，他白天看電視的時(shí)間太多，已經(jīng)到了影響健康的地步。跟朋友談自己漫無目標(biāo)的日子時(shí)，他才發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的處境和自己的并沒有兩樣。其中一位朋友在父母的逼迫下去超市擺貨，其余的都是白天 9 點(diǎn)到 5 點(diǎn)―無所事事‖，晚上去酒吧喝酒打發(fā)時(shí)間。要么，干脆就在酒吧工作？這樣還可以掙些酒錢。―我不想在酒吧工作，我上的是綜合性中學(xué)，我拼命讀書才考上了一所好大學(xué)。到了大學(xué)，我又埋頭苦讀，才得到一個(gè)好學(xué)位。可現(xiàn)在我卻跟那些沒上過大學(xué)的朋友處在同一個(gè)水平線上，他們整天給客人倒酒，干無聊的活。我覺得自己好像兜了一圈，又回到了原來的起點(diǎn)。他的母親杰奎琳古德溫為他辯護(hù)。她堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為她的兒子已經(jīng)盡力了，她自己中學(xué)畢業(yè)后一直都在工作，可是她和她的丈夫發(fā)現(xiàn)，建議兒子如何繼續(xù)找工作是件很棘手的事情。她說，―我一直都必須工作?，F(xiàn)在找工作很難，因?yàn)槿绻阌辛藢W(xué)位，學(xué)位就會(huì)為你提供新的機(jī)會(huì)，至少你自己會(huì)這么想?！m然現(xiàn)在她對(duì)兒子的態(tài)度還比較溫和，但是她心里很清楚，去南美度三星期的假之后，他的休假就結(jié)束了。他可能還得付房租，分擔(dān)家庭開支。她說，―在某個(gè)時(shí)候他們總該長(zhǎng)大成人，我們已經(jīng)幫了他們交了大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)，所以他們也該給我們一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)回報(bào)了。南美度假就是一個(gè)分水嶺，他回來以后如果找不到工作，那就打圣誕節(jié)零工好了。‖心理治療師蓋爾林登費(fèi)爾德是《情感康復(fù)策略》的作者。她說古德溫家長(zhǎng)的說法是很恰當(dāng)?shù)?，從上大學(xué)到工作的轉(zhuǎn)換對(duì)孩子和父母來說都很艱難，關(guān)鍵是他們要在支持理解孩子和不溺愛孩子之間取得平衡。―父母的主要任務(wù)就是支持他們，如果他們教導(dǎo)孩子該如何做就會(huì)引起矛盾，‖她說。―如果有熟人，一定要找他們想辦法。但很多父母心太軟了。必須限制孩子的零花錢，要求他們交房租，或分擔(dān)日常生活或養(yǎng)寵物的花銷。父母要過正常的生活，不要讓孩子隨便用你們的銀行卡或者榨干你們的情感能量?！瑸樗麄冎Ц堵殬I(yè)咨詢費(fèi)、面試交通費(fèi)及書費(fèi)是好事，但不能催得太緊。林登費(fèi)爾德建議：雖說父母不能太寬容，但是如果孩子找工作遇到了挫折，父母應(yīng)該體諒他們，寬容他們幾天甚至幾周——這要看他們受打擊的程度來決定。等他們緩過來之后，父母就該堅(jiān)決要求孩子繼續(xù)求職。男孩更容易困在家里。林登費(fèi)爾德相信男人比母親和姐妹更容易幫助他們的兒子、侄子、或朋友的兒子。她說，由于男人和女人處理挫折的方式不同，孩子們需要跟男人談話，才能度過難關(guān)。她強(qiáng)烈支持他們?nèi)ゾ瓢晒ぷ鳎耗鞘强朔厴I(yè)冷漠癥的一劑良方。這工作好不好要取決于你如何看待它。就是在酒吧打工的時(shí)候，林登費(fèi)爾德找到了她的第一份工作，當(dāng)航拍助手。她說在酒吧工作是拓展人際關(guān)系的絕好機(jī)會(huì)，肯定比賴在家里看電視更容易

找到工作。她說：―給超市上貨也一樣。如果干得好，你就會(huì)被人發(fā)現(xiàn)的。如果你聰明、活潑，對(duì)顧客彬彬有禮，你很快就會(huì)升職。所以，把它看作是機(jī)會(huì)，那些最終能成功的人士都有在超市上貨的經(jīng)歷。‖你的兒子或女兒可能不會(huì)干好萊塢影星們干過的活，比如像烏比戈德堡那樣去停尸房給死人化妝，或者像布魯斯威利斯那樣在核電站當(dāng)警衛(wèi)，但即便是布拉德皮特也曾經(jīng)不得不穿上寬大的雞套裝站在墨西哥快餐連鎖店 El Pollo Loco 的門口招攬生意。他們中沒有一個(gè)人因?yàn)檫@些經(jīng)歷而變得越來越窮。Unit 2危險(xiǎn)！書可能會(huì)改變你的人生劉易斯卡羅爾書中的愛麗絲不小心掉到兔子洞里，在那里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)神奇的仙境。當(dāng)我們打開一本書時(shí)，我們也會(huì)像愛麗絲那樣走進(jìn)一個(gè)全新的世界。我們能從一個(gè)年長(zhǎng)人的角度，或通過一個(gè)孩子的眼睛來觀察生活；我們可以周游世界，遍訪現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中從沒想過要訪問的國家和文化；我們可以體驗(yàn)未曾經(jīng)歷過的事情，這些事情有時(shí)令人不安，也許引人入勝；可能是不愉快的也可能是令人痛苦的，但無論如何都至少能把我們從現(xiàn)實(shí)世界中解放出來。英國詩人威廉考珀（1731–1800）說，―變化是生活的調(diào)味品，它讓生活變得有滋有味?！m然他沒有說在什么地方以及怎樣才能找到變化，但我們知道他說得對(duì)。我們知道我們生活在一個(gè)充滿變化與差異的世界里，我們知道人們的生活方式各不相同，人們過日子的方式不同，做不同工作，有不同信仰，持不同觀點(diǎn)，有不同的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣，操不同語言。通常，我們不知道這些差異的大小，但一旦發(fā)生了不平常的事情并引起了我們的注意，這種變化或差異與其說是機(jī)會(huì)，毋寧說是威脅。讀書讓我們能夠安全地享受和慶賀這種變化與差異，為我們提供成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)。在家里安詳平和的環(huán)境中與他人的生活互動(dòng)，這是閱讀小說才享有的特權(quán)。我們甚至感覺到——哪怕只是在那一瞬間——我們和異文化讀者的共同點(diǎn)要多于我們和家門口隨便碰到的一個(gè)人的共同點(diǎn)。我們學(xué)會(huì)把目光移出我們周圍的環(huán)境，投向天邊，去領(lǐng)略一下異域山水。如果我們懷疑讀書是否能給我們力量的話，我們就應(yīng)該麻煩自己去一趟當(dāng)?shù)氐膱D書館或書店，或者，如果我們足夠幸運(yùn)的話，從家里的書架上取一本書來讀一讀。我們會(huì)驚奇于古今小說的標(biāo)題所創(chuàng)造出來的壯觀景象：約翰斯坦貝克的《憤怒的葡萄》、約翰歐文的《第四只手》、亞歷山大索爾仁尼琴的《癌癥病房》、厄內(nèi)斯特海明威的《喪鐘為誰而鳴》、格雷厄姆格林的《哈瓦那特派員》、奧黛麗尼芬格的《時(shí)間旅行者的妻子》、保羅托迪的《到也門釣鮭魚》。一旦開始閱讀，我們就必須思考我們?cè)跁凶x到的別樣人生。每一本書都有自己的語言、方言、詞匯和語法。我們不見得總能理解其中的每一個(gè)字、句，但不管我們是癡迷其中，還是覺得被排除在外，我們的情感被調(diào)動(dòng)起來了。盡管在地理上有一定的距離，但其他民族、其他文化未必就離我們那么遙遠(yuǎn)。在書里我們可能遇見生活在不同氣候、有不同信仰、來自不同民族的人。即便是住在同一條街上的鄰居，我們都有可能只在書上相識(shí)。小時(shí)候，在我們剛剛能聽講的時(shí)候，書對(duì)我們的生活方式就產(chǎn)生了很大的影響。從父母給孩子讀的睡前故事一直到成年后家中擺滿書柜的客廳，書界定了我們的人生。英國作家 E.M.福斯特（1879–1970）暗示書對(duì)我們具有另一種更加神秘的支配力。他寫道：―我認(rèn)為能影響我們的書籍是那些我們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備要讀的書，它們只是在我們已經(jīng)選定的道路上走得比我們更遠(yuǎn)一些而已?！?合適的書好像自己就會(huì)在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候找到我們，出現(xiàn)在我們面前，而不是我們?nèi)ふ夷潜緯Ｃ绹奘?、牧師及作家托馬斯默頓（1915–1968）曾經(jīng)被記者一連串地問了 7 個(gè)問題：說出你最近讀完的 3 本書；你正在讀的 3 本書；你打算要讀的書；對(duì)你有影響的書，并解釋為什么；一本每人都要讀的書，并解釋為什么。關(guān)于對(duì)他有影響的書，他列出了《威廉布萊克詩集》、古希臘思想家和作家寫的各種戲劇以及一些宗教作品。當(dāng)被問及這些書為何會(huì)影響他時(shí)，他回答說：―這些書——還有其他類似的書籍——幫助我找到了人生的真諦，它們把我從生活的困惑和空虛中解脫出來。銷售就是一切的文化培育了人的需求和被動(dòng)，而那種生活就深陷其中?！敲?，你又會(huì)如何回答這些問題呢？1947 年，克里夫頓費(fèi)迪曼發(fā)明了―全壘打書籍‖這個(gè)詞。當(dāng)一個(gè)棒球手打出一個(gè)全壘打時(shí)，因?yàn)閾羟蛴辛Α⒋虻眠h(yuǎn)，他有時(shí)間跑完整個(gè)棒球場(chǎng)內(nèi)的四個(gè)壘，不僅自己得分，而且?guī)推渌鱾€(gè)壘的跑壘者得分，這是棒球賽里最有趣和最開心的事情。同樣，一本―全壘打書籍‖指的不是兒童的第一次讀書的經(jīng)歷，而是指他們第一次讀到一本能給他們帶來極大的愉悅和滿足感的書、癡迷到手不釋卷的經(jīng)歷。對(duì)世界上數(shù)以億計(jì)的兒童來說，―全壘打書籍‖的最典型的例子就是《哈利波特》系列小說。作為成年人，我們總在尋找自己的―全壘打書籍‖，不是第一次，而是一次又一次地尋找。所有一口氣讀完一本小說的人都會(huì)記得那種令人期待的愉悅和滿足感，并會(huì)焦急、固執(zhí)、有時(shí)甚至瘋狂地尋求重復(fù)體驗(yàn)這種感覺。我們想周游另一世界、會(huì)見不同國家不同民族的人、經(jīng)歷別樣人生并自我反省，我們無法遏制這樣的渴求。危險(xiǎn)！書可能會(huì)改變你的人生。這就是讀書的力量。Unit 4信用卡陷阱有一件事我得坦白。幾年前，我排隊(duì)為家人取戲票時(shí)，我的朋友也在為她的家人取票。我拿到了戲票，用信用卡付了帳，對(duì)這種非現(xiàn)金交易的便利感到很滿意。然后就輪到她付款了，整個(gè)交易進(jìn)行得和我的一樣順利，但我的高興勁兒很快就變成了莫大的羞恥：我的信用卡太寒酸了，是不顯示身份地位的黑藍(lán)色，而她的信用卡則是高級(jí)的金卡。她是怎樣弄到金卡的？怎么會(huì)這樣呢？我知道我掙的比她多，我的車比她的車新，我的家比她的家漂亮，她怎
