M: In an apartment. And you?
W: Hmm, in a hotel.
M: Oh. But a hotel is more expensive than an apartment!

Student A: The Horseless Sulky was invented by an Italian in the 1930s. it is easy to turn and can go up to 190 kilometers per hour. It is also easy to get into and out of the Horseless Sulky. And it is easy to see things both on the left and on the right.
Student B: The Lightning Bug was invented by an American in the 1930s. It can go up to 65 kilometers per hour. It is completely safe because it can stop I a very short time to avoid car crashes and it can’t turn over. The windows are made of plastic instead of glass so that passengers won’t get hurt.
Student A: I think the Horseless Sulk is better than the Lightning Bug because it is so easy to get into and out of the Horseless Sulky, and it is easy to see things both on the left and on the right. In contrast, the Lightning Bug is very small and difficult to get in and out. Besides the Horseless Sulky can go so fast and it is three times faster than the Lightning Bug.
Student B: I think the Lightening Bug is better than the Horseless Sulky. Although it does not go as fast as the Horseless sulky, it is completely safe because it can’t turn over and it can stop in a very short time to avoid car crashes. The windows are made of plastic instead of glass so that passengers won’t get hurt.

Passage 1
Scripts
Studies show Americans spend more time than ever commuting. The average one-way commute has grown by 13 percent to 25 minutes. For a growing number of people, getting to work takes more than an hour. In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two pint eight million people have so called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.
Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He learves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Stevens trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and jo he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could do similar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. and I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”
Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas further away from the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such aove may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.
Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Comuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.
Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work?
Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting t work?
Q3: why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?
Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?

Scripts and answers
Humans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1)Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2)enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3)vehicles. Also, water transportation 4)dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5)As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.
Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6)thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7)capacity increased rapidly.
With the development of cars at 8)turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after world War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9)automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.
Now, 10)thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.

They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

新视野Book3 汉译英翻译 Unit 1 Translate the following paragraph into English 如今，很多年轻人不再选择“稳定”的工作，他们更愿意自主创业，依靠自己的智慧和奋斗去实现自我价值。青年创业(young entrepreneurship)是未来国家经济活力的来源，创业者的成功不但会创造财富、增加就业机会、改善大家的生活，从长远来看，对于国家更是一件好事，创业者正式让中国经济升级换代的力量。尤其是在当前，国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新，在政策上给予中小企业支持，这更加激发了年轻人的创业热情。 Nowadays, many young people no longer choose“stable” jobs. Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts. Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses. This further arouses young people’s enthusiasm to start their own businesses. Unit 2 Translate the following paragraph into English 实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation)是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Translate the following paragraph into English 水墨画（ink and wash painting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意向，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.
