二、课文分析
1 It’s a funny thing about money. If you haven’t got it, you think it’s the most important thing in the world. That’s what I used to think, too. I don’t any more, thought, and I learned the hard way.
钱这个东西真是很捉弄人。如果你还没有钱的时候，你会认为他是世界上是重要的东西，这是我过去的想法。use to do 过去常常。但是现在我不会这么想了，而且我学会这一点是经历了许多的困难的。
2 When I was at school, we had this English master. He was always quoting to us from famous writers. I wasn’t very interested, and I don’t remember much about it now. But it’s fumy how things come back to you .He used to say:
当我还在上学的时候我们有一个英语老师，他常常会引述一些作家的话，我不是特别的感兴趣，而且现在能想起来的也不多了，但是当这个事情回头发生在你身上的时候，你会觉得非常的好笑。他过去总是说：
3 “When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.”
“当上帝想要惩罚你的时候他就会回应我们的祷告”
pray v.祷告
4 Sounds a bit silly, doesn’t it? Well, I didn’t understand it then, either, but I can tell you what it means now. It means if you want something really badly, you ‘ll probably get it. But you’ll probably get it in a way you don’t expect.
听起来有些愚蠢对不对
sound 系动词
That music sounds beautiful.
那音乐优美动听。
His explanation sounded reasonable.
他的解释听起来合情合理。
当然了，我在上学的时候也不理解这句话，但是现在我却可以告诉你他意味着什么意思，他就意味着你特别想要什么东西，也许你就可以得到他，但是你得到他是以一种你从来没有想过的方式。
5 I mean, you might have to pay a price you didn’t bargain for.
那么，我的意思就是说，你可能会为了得到这个东西付出你从来没有想过的代价，
pay a price for 付出代价
He will pay a big price for his crime.
他会为自己的罪行而付出高昂代价。
Someday you will pay the price for drinking so much.

6 It started one rainy day, when I was coming home from work.
这件事开始于一个雨天，我刚刚下了班在回家的路上。
7 I’m a motor mechanic, and I like working in the garage. But, I was restless. I’d always had this dream of owning my own business. Nothing big—just something I could build up. I don’t mind hard work, you see, if I’m working for myself. That’s why I’d left my mum and dad in the North, and come to London. I thought I’d make more money that way.
我是一个爱骑车的修理工，而且我喜欢在修车厂工作，但是那个时候我非常不安份，我一直有一个梦想，就是拥有一个我自己的小生意，并不要很大，只是能够慢慢将它壮大就可以了.如果我是为自己工作的话，我不介意工作多新辛苦，这就是我为什么要离开父母来到伦墩，
我以为我可以通过这种方式挣更多的钱。
build up 逐渐获得、发展或增强
She is building up a collection of herbs and spices.
她正在收集草药和香料
spicy hot 辣
8 We’d had arguments about it. My dad and I. He didn’t see why I should want to leave home when I had enough money to live on.
我和父母之间争吵过，由其是我父亲和我之间，他不能够理解我在家中有足够的钱生活的时候还要离开家这么远。See理解，live on 靠什么东西生活。
9 Enough! Enough for what? I used to ask him. To live as he had in a council house all his life, with nothing to look forward to but a gold watch and a pension?
足购多！购干什么的呀！这点钱就够一辈子住在这种廉价的房子里，什么都没有指望，也不渴忘什么，除了一块不错的金表，和一份不错的养老金吗。
10 Oh, I was fond of him, you see, and it annoyed me to see him so content. He had nothing to show for all those years of work in that noisy factory.
是的，我很爱我的父亲，所以，看到他如此满足于现状，让我很生气，
be content with 对……感到满足
for all=in spite of 尽管
尽管他在这个破工厂里那么多年，但是没能什么值钱的东西
11 Anyway, all this was on my mind, as I walked home that night, The rain didn’t help, either. I remember thinking, if only I could get a thousand pounds—just that, just a thousand.
当然这些想法都是在我的脑海当中，当我那天晚上回家的时候就在想这些事情，即使下着雨也没办法抑制我这样想，我还记得那个时候只要我能有一千镑，就一千镑就可以开始我自己的小事业了
12 I stopped and bought a newspaper outside the Tube. I thought it would take my mind off things on the way home. A could read about other people’s troubles for a change. See what films were on.
出了地铁站我买了一份报纸，我希望我能在回家的路上，通过这份报纸把这些烦心事忘记。take one’s mind off 不再去想
The day before the exam, I went to the cinema to take my mind off things.
考试前一天，为了放松，我去看了一场电影。
我可以去读读别人的烦恼，换换口味，
13 I don’t know when I first realized there was something wrong with the paper. It looked ordinary enough. But there was something about it that didn’t seem quite right. As if there was a gap in the news. As if it was a jump ahead. So ,in the end, I looked at the front page, and instead of Tuesday 22nd November, it said Wednesday 23rd November.
我不知道从什么时候开始这份报纸好像有点问题，这份报纸看起来非常普通，然而去好像有什么事情似乎不太对，好像在新闻之间有断层，好像新闻提新了，所以呢最后的时候我看了首版，不是11月22号星期二，而是11月23号星期三。
14 “My God” I thought, “it’s tomorrow’s paper!”
“噢，开啊，我想，这是明天的报纸”
15 I didn’t believe it to start with. But it did explain why all the news was different.
There couldn’t be any other explanation. Somehow ,I had bought tomorrow’s paper—today!”
最天始我不敢相信，但是呢日期确实解释出为什么所有的新闻都是不同的，不可能有别的解释了，不管怎么说，我买了明天的报纸了
16 And that was the moment I realized it. The moment I realized that all my prayers could be answered. My hands were shaking so much that I could hardly turn the pages. But they were there .The results of tomorrow’s races!
那一刻，我突然意识到我所有的祈祷都得到了回应，我的手抖的如些的厉害，以至于我都翻不了报纸了。但是东西却实在那。
17 I looked at the winners, and chose from them carefully. I picked only the outsiders that had won at prices like 30—1.
我看了看获胜的马，从它们之间小心的做选择，我只选那些没有机会获胜的，因为这种马的赢率是三十比一。
18 There was even one at 50—1! A horse I would never have thought of betting on. 甚至有一匹马是五十比一！而这匹马却是我从来都没有想过在它身上下注的。
19 Next morning, I went to the bank, and drew out just about all I had--￡150. I laid my bets during my lunch hour. I went to several shops. I didn’t want anyone to become suspicious.
第二天早上，我就去了银行，取出了我所有的钱，一共才150镑，在午餐的时候就下了注，我去的是不同的商店，因为我不想别人怀疑我。
20 It’s a funny thing, but I just knew the horses would win. And –God forgive me—I never stopped to think why I gad been given this chance to see into the
future.
这是一件很奇妙的事，但是只有我一个人知道这些马会赢，而且上帝原谅我吧，我从来都没有停下来去想一想，为什么我会得到这个机会，来预测未来呢。
21 They did win –every one of them. All I had to do was to go round and collect my money, and I couldn’t wait to get home and count it. ￡4000!!
我下注的那些马却实赢了，我所有要做的事情就是去一个店一个店的收我的钱，我简直都等不到回家就开始数钱了
22 Well, nothing could stop me now! I’d give in my notice at work the next day, and look for a place of my own. Wait till I told Mum and Dad! They’d hardly be able to believe it.
是啊、现在没有什么事可能阻止我了，第二天我就递了辞职报告，而且开始寻找一个开店的地方了，看着等我告诉爸妈吧，他们简直都不敢相信。
23 I switched on the television, bu t I couldn’t concentrate on it, I kept thinking what I’d do with the money. I hardly heard a word of the programme.
这个时候我把电视把天了，但是我却无法集中精力去看电视。
switch on=turn on 把一些电器打开。
所以我不停的在想我该怎样处置这些钱，电视里的节目我一个字、也没听进去
24 Then the news came on.
然后新闻天始播了。
25 The announcer mentioned Selby that was where my parents lived. I began to listen.
播音员提到了Selby这个地方，那是我父母住的地方，这个时候我就听起来了。
26 There had been an explosion up there, that afternoon, followed by a fire in a factory. Twenty-two people had been killed, and many more were in hospital. I don’t remember the rest—something about a government enquiry.
在Selby这个地方有一个爆炸，然后起了一场大火，22人死亡，而且还有更多的人在医院接受治疗，其余的东西我都没有听进去了，也不记得了，好像是关于一个关于政府查询的说明。
27 I stopped listening, but I couldn’t move out of the chair. I think I must’ve known then that my dad was dead—even before the telegram came.
这个时候我已经不能听下去了，但是这时我简直不能从椅子上站起来，我想我那时一定知道了我的父亲一定死于爆炸了，甚至在电报发来之间我就知道了。
28 The newspaper had fallen on the floor. I picked it up, not realizing what I was doing. Then, I saw it –in the “Stop Press.” FACTORY DISAS TER IN SELBY. MANY FEARED DEAD. I hadn’t seen it before. I’d been too busy picking winners. I could’ve saved my dad’s life, but I’d been too busy picking bloody winners. I don’t often cry, but the words swam in front of me then.
这个报纸也掉到地上了，我把报纸捡起来，没有意识到我正在做什么事情，然后我忽然在最新消息栏看到了这个消息，写着“在Selby这个地方发生爆炸，很多人恐怕都已死亡了”fear 害怕
Most people fear death.
大部分人怕死
I fear that I am going to be late.
恐怕我要迟到了。
之间我怎么就没有看到呢，我太忙于去选那些获胜的马匹了，我本来可以挽救我父亲的生命的，但是我没有。但是我太急于去选那些获胜的马匹了。我这人是一个不太爱哭的人，但是那一天眼泪已经把眼前的报纸模糊。
29 There isn’t much more to tell. I got my own business, and I’m doing well. As for my Mum, she was paid insurance by the firm that owned the factory, so she’s better off than she ever was. The only thing is, she doesn’t care if she’s alive or dead now my Dad’s gone.
没有什么其它想说的了，我自己开了一个小的工厂，我的生意做的也不错，至于我妈妈呢，拥有那家工厂的保险公司付给我妈妈保险金了，所以她比过去经济状况要好，但是唯一的事情就是根本不在乎她是死还是生了，既然我父亲已经不在了。

综合英语（一）下 Lesson One The Story of an Hour 一小时的故事 Kate Chopin Learning Guide 一位已婚女士闻其丈夫惨死于火车事故，不顾自己衰弱的心脏能否经受得住，当即入放声痛哭，随后又不顾亲友的劝告将自己锁在屋内。她推开窗子，迎来外面雨后的一片春意盎然。那充满生机的景象突然唤醒了长期隐藏在她心底深处的愿望，她感到了身心从未有过的自由。正当她憧憬着未来的自由时?? 1They knew that Louise Mallard had a weak heart. So they broke the bad news gently. Her husband, Brently, was dead. 他们知道路易丝·马拉德的心脏不太好，所以把坏消息透露给她时非常委婉。她的丈夫布伦特里死 了 2“ There was a train accident, Louise, ” said her sister Josephine, quietly. 3Her husband's friend, Richards, brought the news, but Josephine told the story. She spoke in broken 4“ Richards ?waast the newspaper office. News of the accident came. Louise ?Lou iBsere, ntly's name was on the list. Brently ?was killed, Louise. ” “出了一次火车事故，路易丝。”姐姐约瑟芬轻声说道。带来消息的是她丈夫的朋友理查兹，但告诉她的是约瑟芬。约瑟芬在讲述时语不成句。 “理查兹当时正在报社，消息传了过来。路易丝??路易丝，死者的名单上有布伦特里的名字。布 伦特里??遇难了，路易丝。” 5Louise did not hear the story calmly, like some women would.She could not close her mind or her heart to the news. Like a sudden storm , her tears broke out . She cried, at once, loudly in her sister's arms. Then, just as suddenly, the tears stopped. She went to her room alone. She would not let anyone follow her. 路易丝听到这个噩耗，没有像有些妇女所可能表现的那样平静。她不可能做到无动于衷。泪水像突如其 来的暴雨，夺眶而出。她立时呼号起来，在姐姐的怀里放声大哭。随后她的泪水就像它们突然来时的那样又突然止住了。她独自走进自己的房间，不让任何人跟着进去。 6In front of the window stood a large, comfortable armchair.

Unit 1 General Description of Literature Reading and Translation 1. Definition of Literature Literature is a general term for professional writings in the form of books, papers, and other documentations. 2. Classification of Literature 1) Textbooks(教科书)：In general, a textbook is a kind of professional writing specially designed for the students in a given branch of learning. 2) Monographs(专著)：A monograph is an artide or short book on one particular subject or branch of a subject that the writer has studied deeply. 3) Papers(论文)：A complete paper is usually composed of the following elements: title, author, affiliation, abstract, keywords, introduction, theoretical analysis and/or experimental description, results and discussion or conclusion, acknowledgments, references, etc. 4) Encyclopedias(百科全书)：An encyclopedia is a book or set of books dealing with every branch of knowledge, or with one particular branch, in alphabetical order. 5) Periodicals(期刊)：A periodical is a series of publications that appear at regular intervals. 6) Special Documentation(特别文件)：Special documentation refers to all the printed materials that are non-books or non-periodicals. 3. Linguistic Features of Scientific Literature 1) Stylistically(在文体上), literature is a kind of formal writing. 2) Syntactically(在语句构成上), scientific literature has rigorous grammatical structures, and in most cases is rather unitary. 3) Morphologically(在词法上), scientific literature is featured by high specialization, the use of technical terms and jargons, unambiguous implication and the fixed sense of the word. 4) Besides, non-verbal language is also very popular in various literatures such as signs, formulas, charts, tables, photos, etc. 4. Discussion 1. What is your opinion on the importance of translation? Can you cite some examples to support your idea? As a means of communication, translation plays an important role in human civilization. for example , in the West, literary translation can be traced back to 300 BC; while in China, recorded translation activities are even earlier, dating from Zhou Dynasty (1100 BC). A modern society sees an extensive use of translation on various occasions. Proper and dexterous translation helps promote mutual understanding between peoples of different cultural and social backgrounds. For example ,the ordinary word “menu”. Its original meaning is “a list of dishes in a meal or to be ordered as separated meals. However, when it is used in computer science, its meaning shifts to “a list shown on the display of a computer from which a user can select the operation the computer is to perform.” 2. What is translation? Do you agree with the author’s point of view? Why or why not? If the word “translation” refers to a subject, it is a science. If it refers to some specific pieces
