In the public interest
The Scandinavian countries are much admired all over the world for their enlightened social policies. Sweden has evolved an excellent system for protecting the indivial citizen from high-handed or incompetent public officers. The system has worked so well, that it has been adopted in other countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland, and New Zealand. Even countries with large populations like Britain and the United States are seriously considering imitating the Swedes.
The Swedes were the first to recognize that public officials like civil servants, collectors can make mistakes or act over-zealously in the belief that they are serving the public. As long ago as 1809, the Swedish Parliament introced a scheme to safeguard the interest of the indivial. A parliamentary committee representing all political parties appoints a person who is suitably qualified to investigate private grievances against the State. The official title of the person is 'Justiteombudsman', but the Swedes commonly refer to him as the 'J.O.' or 'Ombudsman'. The Ombudsman is not subject to political pressure. He investigates complaints large and small that come to him from all levels of society. As complaints must be made in writing, the Ombudsman receives an average of 1200 letters a year. He has eight lawyer assistants to help him and he examines every single letter in detail. There is nothing secretive about the Ombudsman's work, for his correspondence is open to public inspection. If a citizen's complaint is justified, the Ombudsman will act on his behalf. The action he takes varies according to the nature of the complaint. He may gently reprimand an official or even suggest to parliament that a law be altered. The following case is a typical example of the Ombudsman's work.
A foreigner living in a Swedish village wrote to the Ombudsman complaining that he had been ill-treated by the police, simply because he was a foreigner. The Ombudsman immediately wrote to the Chief of Police in the district asking him to send a record of the case. There was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's complaint was justified and the Chief of Police stoutly denied the accusation. It was impossible for the Ombudsman to take action, but when he received a similar complaint from another foreigner in the same village, he immediately sent one of his lawyers to investigate the matter. The lawyer ascertained that a policeman had indeed dealt roughly with foreigners on several occasions. The fact that the policeman was prejudiced against foreigners could not be recorded in he official files. It was only possible for the Ombudsman to
find this out by sending one of his representatives to check the facts. The policeman in question was severely reprimanded and was informed that if any further complaints were lodged against him, he would be prosecuted. The Ombudsman's prompt action at once put an end to an unpleasant practice which might have gone unnoticed.
斯堪的納維亞半島各國實行開明的社會政策，受到全世界的推崇。在瑞典，已逐漸形成了一種完善的制度以保護每個公民不受專橫的和不稱職的政府官員的欺壓。由於這種制度行之有效，已被其他國家採納。
是瑞典人首先認識到政府工作人員如文職人員、警官、衛生稽查員、稅務人員等等也會犯錯誤或者自以為在為公眾服務而把事情做過了頭。早在1809年，瑞典論會就建立一個保護公民利益的制度。議會內有一個代表各政黨利益的委員會，由它委派一位稱職的人選專門調查個人對國家的意見。此人官銜為“司法特派員”，但瑞典人一般管他叫“J.O.”，即“司法特派員”。司法特派員不受任何政治壓力的制約。他聽取社會各階層的各種大小意見，並進行調查。由於意見均需用書面形式提出，司法特派員每年平均收到1,200封信。他有8位律師作他的助手協助工作，每封信都詳細批閱。司法特派員的工作沒有什麼秘密可言，他的信件是公開的，供公眾監督。如果公民的意見正確，司法特派員便為他伸張正義。司法特員採取的行動因意見的性質不同而有所不同。他可以善意地批評某位官員，也可以甚至向議會提議修改某項法律。下述事件是司法特派員工作的一個典型例子。
一個住在瑞典鄉村的外國人寫信給司法特派員，抱怨說他受到警察的虐待，原因就是因為他是個外國人。司法特派員立即寫信給當地警察局長，請他寄送與此事有關的材料。材料中沒有任何文字記載證明外國人所說的情況符合事實，警察局長矢口否認這一指控。司法特派員難以處理。但是，當他又收到住在同一村莊的另一個外國人寫的一封內容類似的投訴信時，他立即派出一位律師前去調查。律師證實有個警察確實多次粗魯地對待外國人。警察歧視外國人的事在官方檔案中不可能加以記載，司法特派員只有派他的代表去核對事實才能了解真相。當事的警察受到嚴厲的斥責，並被告知，如果再有人投訴他，他將受到起訴。司法特派員及時採取的行動，迅速制止了這一起不愉快的事件，不然這件事可能因未得到人們注意而不了了之。

Instinct or cleverness?
We have been brought up to fear insects. We regard them as unnecessary creatures that do more harm than good. Man continually wages war on item, for they contaminate his food, carry diseases, or devour his crops. They sting or bite without provocation; they fly uninvited into our rooms on summer nights, or beat against our lighted windows. We live in dread not only of unpleasant insects like spiders or wasps, but of quite harmless ones like moths. Reading about them increases our understanding with out dispelling our fears. Knowing that the instrious ant lives in a highly
organized society does nothing to prevent us from being filled with revulsion when we find hordes of them crawling over a carefully prepared picnic lunch. No matter how much we like honey, or how much we have read about the uncanny sense of direction which bees possess, we have a horror of being stung. Most of our fears are unreasonable, but they are impossible to erase. At the same time, however, insects are strangely fascinaing. We enjoy reading about them, especially when we find that, like the praying mantis, they lead perfectly horrible lives. We enjoy staring at them entranced as they go about their business, unaware (we hope) of our presence. Who has not stood in awe at the sight of a spider pouncing on a fly, or a column of ants triumphantly bearing home an enormous dead beetle ?
Last summer I spent days in the garden watching thousands of ants crawling up the trunk of my prize peach tree. The tree has grown against a warm wall on a sheltered side of the house. I am especially proud of it, not only because it has survived several severe winters, but because it occasionally proces luscious peaches. During the summer, I noticed that the leaves of the tree were beginning to wither. Clusters of tiny insects called aphides were to be found on the underside of the leaves. They were visited by a laop colony of ants which obtained a sort of honey from them. I immediately embarked on an experiment which, even though it failed to get rid of the ants, kept me fascinated for twenty-four hours. I bound the base of the tree with sticky tape , making it impossible for the ants to reach the aphides. The tape was so sticky that they did not dare to cross it. For a long time, I watched them scurrying around the base of the tree in bewilderment. I even went out at midnight with a torch and noted with satisfaction (and surprise) that the ants were still swarming around the sticky tape without being able to do anything about it. I got up early next morning hoping to find that the ants had given up in despair. Instead, I saw that they had discovered a new route. They were climbing up the wall of the house and then on to the leaves of
the tree. I realized sadly that I had been completely defeated by their ingenuity. The ants had been quick to find an answer to my thoroughly unscientific methods!
我們自幼就在對昆蟲的懼怕中長大。我們把昆蟲當作害多益少的無用東西。人類不斷同昆蟲斗爭，因為昆蟲弄臟我們的食物，傳播疾病，吞噬莊稼。它們無緣無故地又叮又咬;夏天的晚上，它們未經邀請便飛到我們房間里，或者對著露出亮光的窗戶亂撲亂撞。我們在日常生活中，不但憎惡如蜘蛛、黃蜂之類令人討厭的昆蟲，而且憎惡並無大害的飛蛾等。閱讀有關昆蟲的書能增加我們對它們的了解，卻不能消除我們的恐懼的心理。即使知道勤奮的螞蟻生活具有高度組織性的社會里，當看到大群螞蟻在我們精心准備的午間野餐上爬行時，我們也無法抑制對它們的反感。不管我們多麼愛吃蜂蜜，或讀過多少關於蜜蜂具有神秘的識別方向的靈感的書，我們仍然十分害怕被蜂蜇。我們的恐懼大部分是沒有道理的，但去無法消除。同時，不知為什麼昆蟲又是迷人的。我們喜歡看有關昆蟲的書，尤其是當我們了解螳螂等過著一種令人生畏的生活時，就更加愛讀有關昆蟲的書了。我們喜歡入迷地看它們做事，它們不知道(但願如此)我們就在它們身邊。當看到蜘蛛撲向一隻蒼蠅時，一隊螞蟻抬著一隻巨大的死甲蟲凱旋歸時，誰能不感到敬畏呢?
去年夏天，我花了好幾天時間站在花園里觀察成千隻螞蟻爬上我那棵心愛的桃樹的樹干。那棵樹是靠著房子有遮擋的一面暖牆生長的。我為這棵樹感到特別自豪，不僅因為它度過了幾個寒冬終於活了下來，而且還因為它有時結出些甘甜的桃子來。到了夏天，我發現樹葉開始枯萎，結果在樹葉背面找到成串的叫作蚜蟲小蟲子。蚜蟲遭到一窩螞蟻的攻擊，螞蟻從它們身上可以獲得一種蜜。我當即動手作了一項試驗，這項試驗盡管沒有使我擺脫這些螞蟻，卻使我著迷了24小時。我用一條膠帶把桃樹底部包上，不讓螞蟻接近蚜蟲。膠帶極粘，螞蟻不敢從上面爬過。在很長一段時間里，我看見螞蟻圍著大樹底部來回轉悠，不知所措。半夜，我還拿著電筒來到花園里，滿意地(同時驚奇地)發現那些螞蟻還圍著膠帶團團轉。無能為力。第二天早上，我起床後希望看見螞蟻已因無望而放棄了嘗試，結果卻發現它們又找到一條新的路徑。它們正在順著房子的外牆往上爬，然後爬上樹葉。我懊喪地感到敗在了足智多謀的螞蟻的手下。螞蟻已很快找到了相應的對策，來對付我那套完全不科學的辦法!

From the earth: greatings
Radio astronomy has greatly increased our understanding of the universe. Radio telescopes have one big advantage over conventional telescopes in that they can operate in all weather conditions and can pick up signals coming from very distant stars. These signals are proced by colliding stars or nuclear reactions in outer space. The most powerful signals that have been received have been emitted by what seem to be truly colossal stars which scientists have named 'quasars'.
A better understanding of these phenomena may completely alter our conception of the nature of the universe. The radio telescope at Jodrell Bank in England was for many years the largest in the world. A new telescope, over twice the size, was recently built at Sugar Grove in West Virginia. Astronomers no longer regard as fanciful the idea that they may one day pick up signals which have been sent by intelligent beings on other worlds. This possibility gives rise to interesting speculations. Highly advanced civilizations may have existed on other planets long before intelligent forms of life evolved on the earth. Conversely, intelligent being which are just beginning to develop on remote worlds may be ready to pick up our signals in thousands of years' time, or when life on earth has become extinct. Such speculations no longer belong to the realm of science fiction, for astronomers are now exploring the chances of communicating with living creatures (if they exist) on distant planets. This undertaking which has been named Project Ozma was begun in 1960, but it may take a great many years before results are obtained.
Aware of the fact that it would be impossible to wait thousands or millions of years to receive an answer from a distant planet, scientists engaged in Project Ozma are concentrating their attention on stars which are relatively close. One of the most likely stars is Tau Ceti which is eleven light years away. If signals from the earth were received by intelligent creatures on a planet circling this
star, we would have to wait twenty-two years for an answer. The Green Bank telescope in West Virginia has been specially designed to distinguish between random signals and signals which might be in code. Even if contact were eventually established, astronomers would not be able to rely on language to communicate with other beings. They would use mathematics as this is the
only truly universal language. Numbers have the same value anywhere. For this reason, intelligent creatures in any part of the universe would be able to understand a simple arithmetical sequence. They would be able to reply to our signals using similar methods. The next step would be to try to develop means for sending television pictures. A single picture would tell us more than thousands of words. In an age when anything seems to be possible, it would be narrow-minded in the extreme to ridicule these attempts to find out if there is life in other parts of the universe.
天文學方面最新發展使得我們能夠在銀河系和其他星系發現行星。這是一個重要的成就，因為相對來說，行星很小，而且也不發光。尋找行星證明相當困難，但是要在行星上發現生命會變得無比艱難。第一個需要解答的問題是一顆行星是否有能夠維持生命的條件。舉例來說，在我們的太陽系裡，對於生命來說，金星的溫度太高，而火星的溫度則太低。只有地球提供理想的條件，而即使在這里，植物和動物的進化也用了40億年的時間。
一顆行星是否能夠維持生命取決於它的恆星——即它的“太陽”——的大小和亮度。設想一下，一顆恆星比我們的太陽還要大，還要亮，還要熱20倍，那麼一顆行星為了維持生命就要離開的它的恆星非常遠。反之，如果恆星很小，維持生命的行星就要在離恆星很近的軌道上運行，而且要有極好的條件才能使生命得以發展，但是，我們如何才能找到這樣一顆行星呢?現在，沒有一台現存的望遠鏡可以發現生命的存在。而開發這樣一台望遠鏡將會是21世紀天文學的一個重要的研究課題。
使用放置在地球上的望遠鏡是無法觀察到其他行星的生命的。地球周圍溫暖的大氣層和望遠鏡散出的熱量使得我們根本不可能找到比行星更小的物體。即使是一台放置在圍繞地球的軌道上的望遠鏡——如非常成功的哈勃望遠鏡——也因為太陽系中的塵埃微粒而無法勝任。望遠鏡要放置在木星那樣遙遠的行星上才有可能在外層空間搜尋生命。因為我們越是接近太陽系的邊緣，塵埃就越稀薄。一旦我們找到這樣一顆行星，我們就要想辦法將它的恆星射過來的光線遮暗，這樣我們就能徹底“看見”這顆行星，並分析它的大氣層。首先我們要尋找植物，而不是那種“小綠人”。行星上最容易生存下來的是細菌。正是細菌生產出我們在地球上呼吸的氧氣。在地球上發展的大部分進程中，細菌是地球上唯一的生命形式。作為地球上的居民，我們總存有這樣的希望：小綠人來 拜訪 我們，而我們可以和他們交流。但是，這種希望總是只在科幻小說中存在。如果我們能夠在另一顆行星上找到諸如細菌的那種低等生命，那麼這個發現將徹底改變我們對我們自己的看法。正如美國國家航空和宇宙航空局的丹尼爾.戈爾丁指出的“在其他地方發現生命會改變一切。任何人類的努力和想法都會發生變化。”

不要以貌取人
My new friend Jack is a fashion follower who often wears strange clothes and long hair. But my mother drove him away from our flat at the first sight yesterday. She thought he was a bad person, although she didn't know him at all.
However, mom totally changed her mind this morning. When we were walking down the street near our home, we witnessed an accident. A boy was hit by a car when he was walking across the road with headphones. Many people saw it, but at first no one knew how to help. Then someone rushed forwards and covered the boy with his coat to keep warm. He looked after him well until the ambulance came. It was Jack! His calmness and seasoned first aid skills moved mom. She went and apologized to Jack for her former attitute, and told him that he was always welcome to our home.
That gives me a lesson. The appearance may reflect one's interest, but it isn't the symbol of one's quality. We should never judge a book with its cover.
我的新朋友傑克是一個時尚追隨者，他經常穿奇怪的衣服，留著長頭發。但是我媽媽昨天第一次見到他的時候就開車送他離開。她認為他是一個壞人，雖然她根本不認識他。
然而，今天早上媽媽完全改變了她的想法。當我們走在我們家附近的大街上，我們目睹了一場意外事故。一個待著耳機男孩過馬路的時候被車撞了。很多人看到了，但一開始沒有人知道怎麼救人。然後有人跑上前，把自己的大衣蓋到男孩身上來保暖。他一直照顧男孩直到救護車來了。那是傑克!他的冷靜和豐富的急救經驗感動了媽媽。她為之前的態度向傑克道歉，並告訴他我們家總是歡迎他的到來。
這給我上了一課。外表可能會反映出一個人的興趣，但這並不是個人品質的象徵。我們永遠不應該以貌取人。
⑷ 英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇精選大全
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：給予
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. 「Wasn』t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?」 I said yes. 「Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don』t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.」

英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：電視節目
Television gives the American people a wide variety of programs from early morning until late at night. Operas, orchestral performances, chamber music and jazz concerts are often presented on television. So most of the leisure at home is used for watching television. Many Americans are so fond of their TV programs that they often have cold luncheon in front of their receiving sets. Television has given people newer and deeper understanding of history, art, music, literature, the ballet, the theater, the discoveries of modern science and the wonders of the universe. Television viewers pay no tax or charges for receiving programs on their sets. The cost of the programs is paid chiefly by those who are given the opportunity to advertise their goods or services ring the commercial breaks.
美國人從清晨直到深夜都能看到形形色色的電視節目。電視屏幕上經常播放歌劇、管弦樂、室內音樂和爵士音樂演奏。所以家庭中大部分空閑時間都花在看電視上。許多美國人酷愛電視節目，經常在電視機前邊看電視邊吃冷餐。電視使人們對歷史、藝術、音樂、文學、舞劇、戲劇、現代科學的新發現和宇宙的奧妙有較新和較深切的了解。電視觀眾看電視節目既不用繳稅，也不必付款，節目費用主要是由那些藉此為其商品和服務做插播廣告的人支付的。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：籃球
Interest in basketball in the United States peaks around three big championship events in the spring: the college championships for men and women in late March or early April and the professional playoffs that climax in June.
But that』s only organized basketball. Informally, the game has been learned by generations of American youths on city playgrounds and schoolyards, on lonely baskets put up in backyards of rural homes and on the driveway basketball courts of countless suburban homes. Here, playing on teams, going one-on-one against a single opponent or just shooting the ball hour after hour alone, some of the finest basketball players have developed their skills to incredible levels.
But as brilliant as some players may be, basketball requires coaching to teach athletes skills they are deficient in and to blend a group of indivials into a team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an extremely disciplined game with each player having a specific role while others are more inclined to let their players dictate the style of play.
美國人對籃球的興趣在春季三大錦標賽期間達到高潮。這包括三月底或四月初舉行的大學男籃錦標賽和大學女籃錦標賽，以及在六月份進入決賽高潮的職業籃球賽。
上面說的只是有組織的正式比賽。在市內的運動場和學校的操場上，在農舍後院的簡易籃球筐下，或是在無數市郊住宅的自家車道上劃出的籃球場上，一代代的美國青少年的學習打籃球。一批秀的籃球選手，就是在這種隊與隊的對抗，單與單的較量，或是一個人數小時的投籃練習中，練就一身出神入化的球技的。
盡管有些球員很有天賦，籃球運動還是需要有教練指導的，幫助球員學習他們掌握欠佳的技術，並把一個個球員熔合成一個隊，教練的風格各異。有些教練部署嚴謹，隊員各司其職;有的則傾向於讓隊員去決定比賽的打法和風格。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：生命之堅持
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives. Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.
一些人堅持認為只有今日與明日最重要。可要按這條規則來生活的話，我們將會變得更加可憐。今天我們所做之事有多少是瑣碎無功的，很快就被人遺忘.又有多少我們明天要為之事將會成為泡影。 過去是一所銀行。我們將最可貴的財富——記憶珍藏其中，這些記憶賦予我們生命的意義和厚度。真正珍惜過去之人不會為美好時光逝去而哀嘆。那些珍藏於記憶的時光是永遠不會消失的。死亡本身也無法止住記憶中的聲音，或擦除記憶中的微笑。對於已經長大成人的小男孩來說，那兒將會有一個池塘。它不會因時間和潮汐而改變，可以讓他大繼續在陽光下享受靜謐的時光。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：任教印象
The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No.1 health problem in the U.S. today, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don』t know how to think about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on the terror level.
We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst. The result is that we are becoming a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating society incapable of
distinguishing between casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention.
Early in life, too, we become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by invisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to protect ourselves against their fury. Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact that our bodies are superbly equipped to deal with the little demons and the best way of forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style.
在醫學院任教十二年來，我獲得的主要印象是，當今美國頭號健康問題——一個比艾滋病或癌症更為嚴重的問題——是美國人不知道如何去認識健康與疾病。我們的反應是驚恐萬狀。我們怕最壞的事，想著最壞的事，而恰恰就召來了最壞的事。結果 ，我們變成了一個孱弱不堪，總疑心自己有病的民族，一個分不清哪些是日常偶發症狀，哪些是需要治療的症狀，而自己擅自用葯的社會。
我們年輕的時候還染上了一種奇怪的觀念：一種肉眼看不見的叫做細菌的小妖怪在不斷向我們進攻，我們必須長備不懈地保護自己不受其傷害。然而，對另一個重要事實，我們卻未能給予同樣的重視，那就是，我們的身體裝備精良，足以對付這些小妖怪，而且防止妖怪進攻的途徑就是保持合理的生活方式。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：讀書之樂
Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time--and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered ring the process.
讀書是愉悅心智之事。在這一點上它與運動頗為相似:一個優秀的讀者必須要有熱情、有知識、有速度。讀書之樂並非在於作者要告訴你什麼，而在於它促使你思考。你跟隨作者一起想像，有時你的想像甚至會超越作者的。把自己的體驗與作者的相互比較，你會得出相同或者不同的結論。在理解作者想法的同時，也形成了自己的觀點。
每一本書都自成體系，就像一家一戶的住宅，而圖書館里的藏書好比城市裡千家萬戶的居所。盡管它們都相互獨立，但只有相互結合才有意義。家家戶戶彼此相連，城市與城市彼此相依。相同或相似的思想在不同地方涌現。人類生活中反復的問題也在文學中不斷重現，但因時代與作品的差異，答案也各不相同。
如果你希望的話，讀書也能充滿樂趣。倘若你只讀那些別人告訴你該讀之書，那麼你不太可能有樂趣可言。但如果你放下你不喜歡的書，試著閱讀另外一本，直到你找到自己中意的，然後輕輕鬆鬆的讀下去，差不多一定會樂在其中。而且，當你通過閱讀變得更加優秀，更加善良，更加文雅時，閱讀便不再是一種折磨。

China has been a powerful country for the mostpart of the past three thousand years. China is now rising again. Why is thatso surprising to people? History is the best evidence. The rise of China isjust a matter of when, not if. Plus, do you want $100 jeans? Do you want $200shoes? Do you want $3000 computers? If the answers are NO, you\'d better thankChina and appreciate the benefits that it brings to your daily life.
中國在過去3000年歷史中大部分時間當中都是個強大的國家。中國現在再次崛起，為什麼人們會感到如此奇怪?歷史是最好的證明。中國崛起只是個時間問題，而不是是否能崛起的問題。另外，你希望賣100美元一條的牛仔褲，200美元一雙鞋，3000美元的電腦嗎?如果不願意，你必須要感謝中國，感謝中國為你日常生活做出的貢獻。

大學咐缺勵志英語文章帶翻譯的美文：失敗是件好事Failure Is a Good Thing
Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and, as is conventional, I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the power of failure.
Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematical victory. First-time success is usually a fluke. First-time failure, by contrast, is expected; it is the natural order of things.
帆族Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase describing a good cook as "she who has broken many pots." If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time paring knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don't set out to write it; I try my best every day. Still, every week, one column is inferior to the others, sometimes spectacularly so.
I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading on familiar ground, going with the tricks that work, preaching to the choir or dressing up popular sentiments in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to pull off something I've never done before, something I'm not even sure can be done.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together an act. She did it successfully for years with the Cirque Soleil. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress. So she changed the act. She risked failure and profound public embarras *** ent in order to feed her soul. And if she can do that 15 feet in the air, we all should be able to do it.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist, probably too much of one. She will feel her failures, and I will want to fort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won't tell her that failure is a good thing, because that's not a lesson you can learn when you're five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it's not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
[參考譯文]
上周，孫女開辦了一個幼兒園。按常理，我預祝她成功。實際上我撒了慌，我真正對她的希望是失敗，因為我相信失敗的力量。
成功是令人厭煩的。成功只是證明你能夠做你已經知道自己會做的事情，或是第一次就能正確地做某件事情，而這通常是一次有問題的成功。第一次的成功通常都是僥幸的成功，相反的，第一次的失敗恰恰是值得期待的。這是事物的自然法則。
失敗是學習的過程。我聽說過一個在非洲用來形容大廚的詞語， 「那個炒壞了很多鍋的」。如果你花了足夠時間在廚房，炒壞了無數鍋，那你也就掌握了大量烹飪方面的知識。有次我和廚師們共進晚餐，他們一直在比較刀傷和燙傷疤痕的多少，因為他們知道曾經的失敗帶來了無上的信譽。
我以為日報專欄寫作謀生。每周我都會意識到會有其中一個成為本周最差專欄。我並不刻意去這樣寫，而是每天都盡我最大的努力，但每周都還是會有一個專欄比其他的差，有時候差距還挺大。
我現在學會了去珍惜那個較差的專欄。一個成功的專欄通常也就意味著我循規蹈矩，採用一些有效的寫作技巧，向唱詩班佈道或者用絢麗的語言修飾表達大眾的觀點。而在那些較差的專欄，我時常會去嘗試一些之前沒做過的事情，一些甚至都不確定能否完成的事情。
我小女兒是一名吊杠演員。她用三年的時間編排了一段表演，跟Cirque Soleil太陽馬戲團一起多年來都非常成功。應該說沒有理由換掉這段表演—但是她最終還是換了。她說，她沒有再學到新東西，膩煩了。既然她已經膩煩了，繼續讓她的軀體承受那些壓力也就不再有任何意義。因此她更換了那段表演。為了滿足自己的靈魂，她甘願承受失敗的風險，甘願承受不被觀眾接受的尷尬處境。但如果她在15英尺的高空中能完成嘗試的話，那我們每個人也都會有能力去嘗試新事物。
孫女是個完美主義者，可能還會有些極端。她會遇到挫折失敗，我會想著去安慰她，但也會提醒，並且希望她從中所學到的東西和她下次可以如何更好去完成一件事情。我可能不會直接跟她說失敗是件好事，因為它不是一個年輕人容易吸取的教訓。然而，我希望我可以告訴她，這不是世界末日，實際上非常幸運，這才是開端。
大學勵志英語文章帶翻譯的美文：朋友的種類Types of Friends
A Faraway Friend is someone you grew up with or went to school with or lived in the same town as until one of you moved away. Without a Faraway Friend, you would never get any mail addressed in handwriting. A Faraway Friend calls late at night, invites you to her wedding, always says she is ing to visit but rarely shows up. An actual visit from a Faraway Friend is a cause for celebration and binges of all kinds. Cigarettes, Chips Ahoy, bottles of tequila.the Former Friend. A sad thing. At best a wistful memory, at worst a dangerous enemy who is in possession of many of your deepest secrets. But what was it that drove you apart? A misunderstanding, a betrayed confidence, an unrepaid loan, an ill-conceived flirtation. A poor choice of spouse can do in a friendship just like that. Going into business together can be a serious mistake. Time, money, distance, cult religions: all noted friendship killers.
A New Friend is a tonic unlike any other. Say you meet her at a party. In your bowling league. At a Japanese conversation class, perhaps.
Wherever, whenever, there's that spark of recognition. The first time you talk, you can't believe how much you have in mon. Suddenly, your life story is interesting again, your insights fresh, your opinion valued. Your various shortings are as yet pletely invisible.
[參考譯文]
遠方的朋友和你一起長大或上同一所學校，直到其中一位搬走。沒有遠方的朋友，你可能永遠也收不到一封手寫的信件。遠方的朋友半夜來訪、邀請你參加她的婚禮，總是說要來看你，但又很少露面。遠方的朋友真的來看你時，那就要慶祝一下，自然要狂歡作樂一番，少不了香菸、土豆片、歡呼聲和一瓶瓶的龍舌蘭酒。
啊，過去的朋友，一件令人傷懷的事。最好的能留給你一個情意綿綿的回憶;最糟糕的擁有你的許多機密從而成為你危險的敵人。但到底是什麼使你們分手的?誤解、泄密、未償還的貸款或惡意的調情。對配偶選擇不當也會帶來同樣的後果。合夥經商可能是一個嚴重的錯誤。時間、金錢、距離、邪教都是有名的友誼殺手。
新朋友就像一種與眾不同的補品。比如說你在一個晚會上或保齡球俱樂部聯合會上遇見了她，也許在一個日本會話課上。隨時隨地，都會產生撞擊的火花。剎那間，你的人生經歷再次生動起來，你的見解新穎獨到，你的觀點得到器重，而你的各種缺點卻全然不見了。
大學勵志英語文章帶翻譯的美文：讓我們微笑吧Let Us Smile
The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile,
That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant *** ile.
The *** ile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men,
Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again.
It'sfull of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent;
It』s worth a million dollars, and it doesn』t cost a cent.
There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery *** ile;
It always has the same good look; it』s never out of style;
It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;
The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.
It pays the highest interest — for it is merely lent;
It』s worth a million dollars, and it doesn』t cost a cent.
A *** ile es very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer,
A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear;
It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug,
And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.
So, *** ile away! Folks understand what by a *** ile is meant;
It』s worth a million dollars, and it doesn』t cost a cent.
[參考譯文]
那最能賦予生命價值、代價最廉而回報最多的東西，
不過一個令人心暢的微笑而已。
由衷地熱愛同胞的微笑，
會驅走心頭陰郁的烏雲，心底收獲一輪夕陽。
它充滿價值和美好，混合著堅毅的仁愛之心;
它價值連城卻不花一文。
當我們看到喜悅的微笑，憂傷就會一掃而光;
它始終面容姣好，永不落伍;
失敗令我們沮喪之時，它鼓勵我們再次嘗試;
鼓勵的笑靨於你我大有裨益。
它支付的利息高昂無比──只因它是種借貸形式;
它價值連城卻不花一文。
來一個微笑很容易──嘴角歡快翹起來，
你能百次微笑，可難得擠出一滴淚;
它的漣漪深深波及心弦，
總會留下反響，宛若擁抱。
繼續微笑吧!誰都懂得它意味著什麼;
它價值連城卻不花一文。
