從20世紀(jì)60年代以來,大學(xué)英語教材已經(jīng)歷了四代變遷。在教與學(xué)的過程中,教材起了十分重要的作用。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編帶來的大學(xué)英語3段落翻譯，歡迎閱讀!

　　大學(xué)英語3段落翻譯1

　　UNIT 1

　　十年之前，南希做了許許多多美國人夢寐以求的事。她辭去了經(jīng)理職位，在鄰近地區(qū)開了一家家用器材商店。像南希這樣的人作出這種決定主要是出于改善生活質(zhì)量的愿望。

　　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。有一次她連電話費(fèi)也付不起，只得向她的父母親借錢。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。

　　A decade ago,Nancy did what so many Americans dream about.She quit an executive position and open/set up a household equipment store in her neighbourhood.People like Nancy made the decision primarily because of their desire to improve the quality of their lives.

　　But,to run a small business is by on means an easy job.Without her steady income,Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses.Sometimes she did not have the money to pay the premiums for various kinds of insurance she needed.Once she could not even pick up the phone bill and had to ask her parents to loan her some money.

　　Fortunately,through her own hard work,she had now got through the most difficult time.She is determined to continue pursing her vision of a better life.

　　UNIT 2

　　痛苦的奴隸生活堅(jiān)定了亨森為自由而戰(zhàn)的決心。他獲得自由后不久就成了一個(gè)幫助逃跑奴隸的組織中的一員。他幾次偷偷地從加拿大回到美國幫助其他奴隸通過地下鐵路獲得自由。有一次在逃跑時(shí)亨森和幾個(gè)逃跑的奴隸被捕捉奴隸的人包圍。他將逃跑的奴隸喬裝打扮一番，成功地躲避了追捕。另外，他后來在加拿大的得累斯頓為逃跑的奴隸建造了一個(gè)居住小區(qū)，并建了教堂和學(xué)校，逃跑的奴隸們?cè)谶@里能夠?qū)W到有用的謀生之道。他堅(jiān)信奴隸制將被廢除，所有奴隸終將獲得解放，種族歧視消失的那一天一定會(huì)到來。

　　Henson's painful life as a slave strengthened his determination to struggle for freedom.Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves.He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom.Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run.He disguised them and successfully avoided capture.In addition,later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves,setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living.He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished,all the slaves would be liberated,and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.

　　UNIT 3

　　人們幾乎沒法將蓄意行竊的盜賊拒之門外。所能做的只是設(shè)法阻攔他片刻, 從而使其暴露在巡警( police patrol ) 面前。常識(shí)告訴我們, 光照是犯罪行為的障礙物。家門口必須安裝一盞燈,并在晚間開著。如果你碰巧是最晚一個(gè)回家，別只關(guān)門而不上鎖。如果你決定購買精密的電子報(bào)警系統(tǒng)，別忘了索要報(bào)警器的標(biāo)志，并把它張貼在窗戶和門上。此外，你還可以將報(bào)警系統(tǒng)連接到警署。

　　It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is to discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/assure yourself that you don't leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition, you may have it hooked up to a police station.

　　Unit4

　　2005年最不尋常的事也許是聯(lián)合國宣布這一年為世界物理學(xué)年。這一年是愛因斯坦發(fā)表相對(duì)論100周年，也是他去世50周年。1905年，愛因斯坦發(fā)表了五篇科學(xué)史上非常重要的論文，從而使物理學(xué)發(fā)生了突破性進(jìn)展。他的偉大成就可歸之于他令人驚嘆的想象力、不斷地質(zhì)疑和對(duì)權(quán)威的漠視。毫無疑問，愛因斯坦是20世紀(jì)最偉大的科學(xué)家。

　　What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it “The World Year of Physics”. It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievement can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century。

　　UNIT 5

　　在感恩節(jié)的氣氛中，喬治并沒有跟朋友們一起慶祝節(jié)日，卻沉浸于閱讀他父親留給他的日記。他的父親在連續(xù)再次完成環(huán)球旅行后在海上去世。這份日記使他回憶起自己與父親一起度過的每一刻以及父親為他所做的許多具體事情。喬治的父親過去經(jīng)常向他強(qiáng)調(diào)必須經(jīng)歷各種艱難困苦去追求卓越(EXCELLENCE)。他還教導(dǎo)他世界上沒有理所當(dāng)然的東西。即使今天，他依然記得父親如何引用“懂得感激是高尚者的標(biāo)志”這句伊索(AESOP)名言來教導(dǎo)他要把懂得感激放在最重要的位置。

　　Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving,rather than joining his friends in celebration of the holiday,George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father,who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world.The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf.George's father used to impress on him the needs to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence.He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted.Even today,George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.

　　UNIT 6

　　我們到處都能看到“搶眼”的青年藝術(shù)家。他們要么一年四季都穿著破舊的牛仔褲;要么大冬天也打著赤腳;要么飲酒過度;要么就是抱著創(chuàng)作一部杰作的幻想，實(shí)際上并不做任何創(chuàng)作的事。其實(shí)，他們中的很多人只不過是為了看上去像名藝術(shù)家，或是為了同其他藝術(shù)家“保持一致”才這么做的。他們忘了，只有通過不懈的努力才能獲得成功。

　　Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people.They may be in worn-out jeans all the year round,or walk in bare feet even in winter,or drink to excess,or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work.In fact,many of them act like this just to look the part,or to be "in tunes with" other artists.They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.

　　UNIT 7

　　湯姆生來跛足，有一條腿不管用。他很小的時(shí)候起就懂得，除非他努力擺脫(RISE ABOVE)自身的局限，他是無力謀生的;而除非他能獨(dú)立謀生，他就不可能得到他人的尊敬。這是他要贏得做人的尊嚴(yán)必須付出的代價(jià)。

　　湯姆申請(qǐng)過許多工作，都遭到拒絕，最后他找到一份為必勝客(PIZZA HUT)送比薩餅的工作。后來他又到一個(gè)沒有人想去的推銷區(qū)做一家運(yùn)動(dòng)服裝(SPORTS WEAR)公司的銷售代表?，F(xiàn)在，他在他的家鄉(xiāng)擁有一家頗為盈利的零售商店，還雇用了好幾個(gè)人為他工作，這些人都不拿薪水，只拿傭金。

　　Tom was born a cripple,with one of his lower limbs useless.Early in his childhood,he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations,he could not earn a living,and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own,he could not win/gain the respect of others.That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.

　　Tom applied for numerous jobs,only to be turned down,before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut.He then worked as a sales representative for a sports wear company in a territory no one else would want.Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown,and hires several people to work for him on straight commission.

　　UNIT 8

　　1997 年，蘇格蘭一組科學(xué)家的克隆實(shí)驗(yàn)使多利羊得以誕生。自那時(shí)以來，有關(guān)克隆人的激烈爭論一直進(jìn)行著。這一有爭議的問題的焦點(diǎn)聚集在此項(xiàng)技術(shù)的倫理與社會(huì)含義上：此項(xiàng)技術(shù)會(huì)對(duì)人類生育、撫養(yǎng)孩子以及人的個(gè)性等的真正意義帶來什么影響。

　　Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue has focused on ethical and social implications of the technology: what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera.

　　大多數(shù)科學(xué)家堅(jiān)決反對(duì)繁殖性克隆，支持旨在治療疾病的治療性克隆。其理由是，治療性的克隆技術(shù)不牽涉任何對(duì)人的生命的威脅，實(shí)際上還能為人們提供極大的緩解痛苦的可能。他們相信有適當(dāng)?shù)卣吆捅O(jiān)管以確保治療性克隆被安全地使用，我們都能從這一過程中受益。

　　The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with policies and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this procedure.
