汉译英（Unit1、2、3、5课后翻译）

Unit 1

掌握大量的词对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的但却是经常

被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试的数字表明，词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大可能

在这项考试中成功。最近的研究也表明，其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人

至少认识一万六千个英语词。除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言，要获得

大的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的：你就得依靠勤奋和专注。当然，你可以从上下文猜出

你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思，但往往你得查字典才能搞清它们的确切意思。一个切实

可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读，最好是阅读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。反

复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的：你每读一次都会学到不同的生词，而熟悉的背景又有

助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。

Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a

foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First

Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500

words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests

that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond

know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like

Spanish or German, there are no short-cuts to get a large vocabulary in English:

you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out

from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your

reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order

to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words

may be to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It's

often good to read the same book over and over again: every time you read it, you

will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your

mind.

1、我认为向他求助是不现实的。事实上，他自己也需要帮助。

I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact,he

himself is in need of help.

2、越来越多的人正在意识到与空气污染作斗争的迫切需要。

More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating

3、有明显的迹象表明一些古老的传统和价值观念不再被年轻人珍视。

There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and

values are no longer cherished by the young people.

4、我们许多人觉得宇宙无限这一概念难以理解。

Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe is hard to grasp.
