M4: We probably go together, maybe once a fortnight.
M5: I go, normally, probably once every month or two months, but it depends on the film.
M6: I go to the cinema about once every fortnight. Often I’ll go on a Wednesday because we get “buy one get one free” cinema tickets, so I can take a friend with me.
Part 2
F: What kind of films do you like?
W1: I always like romantic comedies. Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie. Australia was a movie I saw recently which was really good.

W2: I saw The Proposal not too long ago and I really liked it. It was really interesting; it was a really funny, romantic comedy.
M3: Sweeney Todd. I really enjoyed with Johnny Depp –simply because h was fantastic; and Helena Bonham Carter one of my favorite actresses, was also really good.
M4: I’d recommend The Graduate. I enjoyed that as a young man and .. and growing up as well. I think it’s a “coming of age” film.
M6: My favorite film is called Golden Ey e. It’s a James Bond film and I think the action scenes are just absolutely fantastic in it.

1.The Graduate.I like the movie because the music is fantastic. And I enjoy Dustin Hoffman’s
great performance, which shows many aspects of the hero’s rich character.
2.I prefer watching DVD movies at home because it saves both money and time. I have the
freedom to choose what I would like to watch. /I prefer going to the cinema because it
provides better sound effects. Besides, with more people around, the atmosphere is much better than when I watch movies alone at home.
3.My favorite movie star is Sandra Bullock. I like her because she is beautiful and her
performance is natural. I love her warm smiles as well. Every time I see her smile, Icouldn't help smiling too.

I: Excuse me, ladies. Do you have a moment?
W1: Yes?
I: Just a quick question. Research says that these days women prefer men with feminine faces…W1: Really?
I: Yes. It’s true… honestly!
W1: Idon't agree at all. I like masculine faces…
I: Can I show you some photos?
W1: sure.
I: So which of these guys do you like best?
W1: Hmm, Sean Connery. He’s definitely the best-looking man here. And he’s tall, isn’t he? Yeah…I like tall men. And I like a man with a beard.
I: Uh-huh. What about you?
W2: Mm. I’m not sure. I like this one. Hats his name?
I: IT’s Gael Garcia Bernal. H’s a Mexican film star.
W2: Yeah? Well, he’s got quite a feminine face and he’s very good-looking. I like his eyes – he’s got dark brown eyes and I like men with dark eyes and black hair. But I think it’s more in the personality… in the smile… so I like this one best. Will Smith. He’s got a really nice smile.
I: Thank you. And here’s another lady. Excuse me. Have you got a moment?
W3: Well…
I: I’m doing a survey about the changing face of beauty. Can I ask you some questions?
W3: Yes, OK. Yes.
I: I’ve got some photos here. Can you tell me which of these people you like? Do you think any of them are good-looking?
W3: Well, I don’t really like any of them…
I: No? r, well, so what sort of man do you like?
W3: What sort of man do I like? Well, my husband’s over there. I think he’s good-looking. I like his hair. I love guys with red hair.
I: Which one? The one looking in the ship window?
W3: No, he’s over there. He’s wearing a white T-shirt and he’s talking to…that blonde woman Excuse me…
I: And then I talked to some men to find out if they really prefer blondes –just like they did 50 years ago. Do you think it’s true that men prefer blondes, sir?
M1: What? No, not at all! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. Look at this photo of Judi Dench. She’s lovely. She isn’t young, but she’s got beautiful grey eyes and she always wears beautiful clothes. She looks kind and intelligent.
M2: Yeah, she does. But I still prefer blondes, you know… like Scarlett Johansson. She’s lovely.. slim, blonde hair, blue eyes – that’s the sort of woman I like.
M1: Scarlett Johansson, slim?
M2: Well, OK…but she’s not fat.

Reference answers
1.The man I like should be strong and fit, without a beard. And he should not have long hair.
The woman I like most is someone who is slim and healthy. She should have long hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile a lot. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, regardless of age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don’t think being lighter or slimmer equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner self counts a lot more than outer appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help make one a beautiful person. / beauty is what we see and feel. So my idea of beauty is what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good, it is beauty. So both inner qualities and body features are important factors to make one look beautiful. Of course, what one considers beautiful may not appear the same to someone else. That is why beauty standards are different from person to person, culture to culture and time to time.
2.The ideas of beauty have changed over the past several decades in China. Truly, on the one
hand, many still stick to the idea that one’s inner quality counts more than outer appearance.
Honesty, hard-working, generosity, and kindness are considered inner beauty. On the other hand, more and more people think outer appearance is more important. Nowadays, many people, especially young people, hold some new ideas about beauty. For example, long straight black hair used to be thought as one feature of beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair curled and dyed. They follow the fashion tread and put fashionable clothes and wear make-up. More people are afraid of not looking attractive enough. So they go on diet to look thinner and receive some cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others realize that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body for its uniqueness.
3.I don’t think it is wise to judge a person by his/her appearance because appearance is
superficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your judgment when it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person. For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a great thinker. Just as the proverb goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.”T he greatness of a book lies in its content instead of its cover. So it is with a person. Instead of focusing only on one’s appearance, we should get to know more about that person’s education, life experiences and life attitude before we make any judgment.

V: All over the world, festivals bring people together. But why do people go?For the music? The food? The fun and games? We went to Bestival in the Isle f Wight, England to find out. But the first question is – where do we sleep?
M1: I…I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key..
V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.
M2: it’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday.
V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents,. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: why do so many different people come to festivals?
W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.
W2: people will respect each other and have…um…sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.
M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.
V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?
W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything.
V: so, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here? One thing that everyone talks about is this: being together.

1.bestival seems a fun festival. People, young and old, can gather together, enjoy themselves,
and forget about their worries. I would like to go to a festival like Bestival because I like to be
outdoors, listen to music, and do activities with other people. Most important of all, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends, so a festival like Bestival is the right event to attend. / I do not like to go to a festival like Bestival because I’m a person who prefers to stay alone. I do love music, but I like listening to music alone.
2.I like our University Music Festival best. It is a one-week festival held annually. It’s the
celebration of spring and one week unmatched by any other. There are singing competitions and concerts almost every evening. Students can also attend lectures on music and its production by famous professors. The most exciting thing is that at the weekend, famous bands will be invited to perform on campus. Every year, we can see different pop stars we like.
That’s why the University Music Festival is appreciated by all of us and has become a festival that we all look forward to.

Recently I went to a concert in the park with my boyfriend and some other friends. It was in City Park… We went because we all like the band, Double-X, and we listen to their music all the time. The concert only lasted two hours, but we took a picnic with us and went out early in the afternoon-it was a free concert, you see, so there were already a lot of people sitting out in the park in front of the stage.
We got a really good place, close to the stage. We chatted and lay in the sun all afternoon… and then in the evening more and more people came and it got quite crowded. Then the concert started and well, it was … fantastic! Double –X is an amazing band … and better live!
I really liked the concert because everyone was dancing and singing – we had a great time.

Last Saturday, my friend and I went to see a movie in Yonghua Cinema City. I went there because it’s one of the best movie theaters in the city. I like the atmosphere and the wonderful sound effects in the cinema. The movie we saw was 13 Going on 30.It was a romantic comedy. The story was simple but touching and thought-provoking. A 13-year-old girl plays a game on her 13th birthday and wakes up the next day as a 30 –year-old woman. Her sudden leap into the 30 –year-old life lets her find out what true friendship and true love are. So when she goes back to 13, she learns how to value those who truly care about her. As a result, she manages to lead a fruitful life when she really turns 30. We really enjoyed the movie. I believe many people would like it, too.

People in Britain enjoy various leisure activities including watching TV, seeing friends and relatives, listening to music, shopping, listening to the radio, gardening, doing sports, reading, and so on. The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.
Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television.The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife,
animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their tip activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.
Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.
Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time?
Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?
Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people?

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, tho ugh 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.
