『叁』 求自考英语阅读1 第4篇文章american social relations的翻译
American Social Relations
Gladys G.Doty Janet Ross
American society is much more informal than that of many other countries and, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction. The American mixture of pride in achievement and sense of “’m just as good as anybody else.” along with lack of importance placed on personal dignity, is difficult for a foreigner to understand. Americans in general do not like to be considered inferior, and they grumble loudly about inconveniences or not getting a “fair deal.” Yet they do not make a point of their personal honor. As an illustration of the difference between Europen and American reflection in this respect, John Whyte in American Words and Ways gives the following account.
A…[European] professor [visiting in American] was once sent a bil for hospital services which he had never enjoyed. The bill was accompanied by a strong letter demanding payment. It was obvious that a mistake in names had been made, but the professor, thoroughly aroused by this reflection on his character and financial integrity, wrote a vigorous letter of reply ( which an American might also have done.) But in this letter of reply he demanded that the creditor write him a formal letter of apology… for this reflection on his honor. Since no publicity could possibly have been given to the mistake, for mistake it was, most Americans in that sitution, after getting the matter off their chest ( or without doing that ) would have let the matter rest.
An example of the same thing may be that although Americans like to talk about their accomplishments, it is their custom to show certain modesty in reply to compliments. When someone praises an American upon his achievement or upon his personal appearance, which, incidentally, is a very polite thing to do in America, the American turns it aside. If someone should say, “Congratulations upon being elected president of the club,” an American is expected to reply, “Well, I hope I can do a good job,” or something of the sort. Or if someone says, “That’s a pretty blue necktie you are wearing,” an American is likely to say, “I’m glad you like it,” or “Thank you. My wife gave it to me for my birthday.” The response to a compliment seldom conveys the idea, “I, too, think I’m pretty good.”
Likewise, there are fewer social conventions that show social differences in America. Students do not rise when a teacher enters the room. One does not always address a person by his title, such as “Professor” or “Doctor” (“Doctor” is always used, however, for a doctor fo medicine). The respectful “sir” is not always used in the northern and western parts of the country.
Clothing in America, as in every place in the world, to a certain degree reflects a person’s social position and income, or, at least among the young, his attitudes toward society or toward himself. Yet no person is restricted to a certain uniform or manner of dress because of his occupations or class in society. A bank president may wear overalls to paint his house and is not ashamed of either the job or the clothing, and a common laborer may wear a rented tuxedo at his daughter’s wedding.
Yet in spite of all the informality, America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction. For example, one is likely to use somewhat more formal language when talking to superiors. While the informal “Hello” is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say, “Hello, Mr. Ferguson,” whereas the emplyer may reply, “Hello, Jim.” Southerners make a point of saying “Yes,sir,” or “Yes,ma’am,” or “No,sir,” or “No, ma’am,” when talking to an older person or a person in position of authority. Although this is a good form all over the United States, “Yes, Mr. Weston.” or “No, Mrs. Baker” is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or West.
Certain other forms of politeness are observed on social occasions. Though people wear hats less now than in the past, women still occasionally wear hats in church and at public social functions ( except those that are in the evening ).
In American there are still customs by which a man may show respect for a woman. He opens the door for her and lets her precede him through it. He walks on the side of the walk nearest the street. He takes her arm when crossing a street or descending a stairway. A younger person also shows respect for an older one in much the same fashion, by helping the older person in things requiring physical exertion or involving possible accident.
American surface informality often confuses the foreigner because he interprets it to mean no formality at all. He does not understand the point at which informality stops. A teacher, though friendly, pleasant, and informal in class, expects students to study hard, and he grades each student’s work critically and carefully. He also expects to be treated with respect. Although students are free to ask questions about statements made by the teacher, and may say that they disagree with what he says, they are not expected to contradict him. Similarly, in boy-girl relationships a foreign student should not mistake the easy relationship and flattery that are part of the dating pattern in the United States, nor presume that it means more than it does.
Also, because an American is perhaps more likely to admit and laugh at his own mistakes than one who stands more on his dignity, a foreigner sometimes does not know how to handle the American’s apparent modesty. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknesses, such as “I never was good at mathematics.” “I’m a rotten tennis player.” or “I’m the world’s worst bridge player.” However, the stranger must not be too quick to agree with him. American think it is all right, even sporting, to admit a defect in themselves, but they feel that it is almost an insult to have someone else agree. A part of American idea of good aportmanship is the point of being generous to a loser. This attitude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition. If a man talks about his weak points, the listener says something in the way of encouragement,or point to other qualities in which the speaker excels. An American student reports that when he was in a foreign country he was completely stunned when he said to a native, “I don’t speak your language very well.” and the native replied, “I should say you don’t.” In a similar situation an American would have commented, “Well, you have only been here two months.” or “But you’re making progress.”
Although Americans are quite informal, it is best for a foreigner, in case of doubt, to be too formal rather than not formal enough. Consideration for others is the basis of all courtesy.
美国的社会比其他国家的社会更加非正式,在某些方面,美国社会的特征就是较少的社会差别。美国式的混合物-个人的成就感、不比别人差的优越感以及对个人尊严缺乏重要性,这些对一个外国人来说是很难理解的。通常来讲美国人不喜欢被别人看成低人一等的,他们也会为自己遭受的不便而抱怨,还会为自己没有得到公平的待遇而抱怨。然而,他们也不是很重视自己的荣誉。在这一方面,为了更好展示欧洲人和美国人的不同反映,John Whyte 在《美国语言和方式》这本书里给了我们如下的描述。
有位欧洲的教授曾在美国访问,他有次收到一份在医院接受治疗的账单,实际上他并没有接受过任何治疗。随附账单还有一封措施很强烈的信件。很明显这是因为把姓名弄错了,但是这位教授由于对信中对自己人格以及金钱方面的廉洁而提出的质疑感到不舒服,他也写了一份措辞很激烈的回信。(美国人也会这样去做)。但是在这份回信中,这位欧洲教授要求他的债权人写一份正式的道歉信,就因为对他人格的指责。由于这样的错误并没有被公众知悉,即使这样的错误已经发生了,但大多数美国人在这种形势下,只是将其宣泄一番,甚至有的人根本就不用宣泄,就让这件事情过去了。
同样的事情我再给你举一个例子,尽管美国人比较喜欢讨论自己的成就,但是他们有个习俗,那就是如果你得到某种赞美时,你的回答要展示某种谦虚。当有人在赞美一个美国人诸如他的成就或外貌的时候,这些话题在美国被认为是很有礼貌的事情,他也不会太在意。如果有人对一个美国人说:“祝贺你当选俱乐部主席”,他会回答“我希望把工作做好”或者诸如词类的话语。当有人说:“你打的领结很漂亮”,而美国人会说“我很高兴你喜欢它”或者“谢谢你,这是我妻子送给我的生日礼物”。所有对这种赞美的回答从来都不会传达这样的含义即“我也认为我挺不错的” 同样的,在美国也很少有那种社会习俗来表现这种社会差异。当老师进教室的时候,学生是不起立的。也不经常在一个人的名字前面加一些头衔,比如教授或博士。(DOCTOR 如果从医药学方面来称呼也是可以的)。表示尊敬含义的SIR在美国北部和西部也是很少使用的。
在美国正如在世界上其他地方一样,从某种意义上,人的穿着会反映其社会地位和收入,或者至少在年轻人当中可以反映这个社会或者自己的态度。但是由于自已的职业或社会地位,没有任何一个只局限穿一种特定的制服或选择某种特定的穿衣方式。一个银行的行长在粉刷自己房子的时候会穿工装服,而且不会因这种工作和穿衣的方式而感到羞愧。而一个普通劳动者在自己女儿的婚礼上也会租穿一件无尾燕尾服。
尽管有诸如此类非正式的东西,但是美国也并不是完全没有习俗来展现这种社会差别意识。例如,但一个人跟他的上司说话的时候,他会用更加正式的语言。尽管非正式语言HELLO可以用于雇员和雇主之间,但对于一个雇员来说,他更倾向于使用HELLO,MR FERGUSON,而上司回答时可以直接回答HELLO JIM。当跟一个年长者或者权位更高的人说话时,美国南方人主张说YES SIR 或YES MA’AM 或NO, SIR或NO, MA’MA。尽管这样的称谓在全美国被认为是一种很好的称谓形式,但是在美国北部或西部,人们还更倾向于称YES,MR WESTON或NO,MRS BAKER。某种表示礼貌的形式可以在社交场合会看到的。尽管现在的人不像过去那么经常带帽子,但是女性在教堂或一些公众庆祝宴会时会带上帽子的(当然这些场合如果发生在晚上就不用了)
在美国仍然还有些习俗,男士们通过这些习惯来表现对女士的尊敬。他会给女士开门,而且让女士先进入。男士也会走在更靠近街道的人行道。当穿过一条阶段或下楼梯时,男士会扶着女士。一个年轻人同样也会表示对年长者的尊敬,他们通过帮助他们做一些费体力的活或一些引发事故的活。
美国人这种表面上的非正式性会让一个外国人迷惑,因为他认为美国人的这种非正式性意味着没有正式性而言。但是他并不知道美国人的这种非正式性会在哪里变成了正式性,比如一个老师在课堂上看起来友好、和善,在课堂上也表现的非正式,但老师要求学生努力学习,并且在批改作业时是很严格和仔细的。而且这位老师也同样希望学生能尊敬他。尽管学生对老师的陈述自由提出问题,而且也可以表达对老师观点的不同意,但是这些学生也不能驳斥老师的观点。同样,在男孩和女孩交往的过程中,一个外国学生也不要对美国人在约会里表现的亲近关系或奉承的话语而误会,不要认为他们还有更深层次的含义。同样,因为比那些经常想保持自己尊严的人来说,美国人非常有可能承认和嘲笑他自己的错误、缺点。但是有时外国人不知道怎么处理美国人这种表面的谦虚。美国人很容易承认自己的某些弱点,诸如“我的数学不好”,“我的网球打的很烂”或者说“我的桥牌打的也是出奇的差”,但是,这个时候对于一个陌生人不能随声附和。美国人认为,承认自己的一些弱点没有什么,即使是运动项目不行,但是如果别人对他们谦虚的话语表示同意,他们认为这是对他们若大的侮辱。美国竞技精神的一部分就是对失败者要赋予同情和慷慨。这种态度从体育竞技中被带入到跟体育竞技一点关系都没有的事情当中了。如果一个人谈及自己的弱点时,听者一般都会以鼓励来回应或指出失败者在其他领域是很擅长的。一个美国的学生讲到,有次他去国外时,当他对当地人说:“我说你们的语言说的不好”,而对方回应到“我也这么认为”,他被当地人的回答惊呆了。当然,在同样的情势下,一个美国人将会回应到“你来这里才刚两个月而已” 或者说“但是你取得进步了”。
尽管美国人好像十分不正式,但对于一个外国人,尤其在不知道情况下,你最好尽可能正式的对待。总是考虑别人是所以礼仪的基础。

一个世仿人可以有两种方式拥有书籍。一种是攒钱买它,就像我们买衣服和家具。但这样的购买只是拥有书籍的初步阶段。另外一种是完全拥有,这来源于你认真读它并做笔记。一个说明图表就可以使问题很清楚。你买了牛排并把它从肉铺的冰柜变成你自己的。直到你吃了它。才使它真正意义上属于你。我建议书籍也应该真正的吸收到你的血液中,才能给你带来好处。

各位谁有2010.10全国自考英语试卷及答案啊?谢谢!3.读书与做练习的关系。每章节后都配有思考题和练习,并附有答案,以便复习和巩固所学的内容。为了帮助自学人员学习,全国高等自学考试委员会还组织由笔者主持编写了《英语词汇学辅导》,2000年由外语教学与研究出版社出版。《辅导》以汉语形式把教材译写出来,每章补充了练习,并给思考题提供了参考答案。此外,社会上也出现了一些所谓的“配套”读本。这里要提醒大家的是,读书指的是学教材,语言基础差一点的同学可以把《辅导》结合起来看。对教材一定要反复读,读懂弄清楚。对每章所配的练习要认真独立地去做,只有在做完后再查看参考答案,因为做练习最能检测学习结果。思考题是供学习思考的,提供的参考答案只是答案的一种表达形式,绝对不能逐字逐词地去死背。搜凳纤尤其要注意的是千万不要本末倒置,把大量的精力放在能弄到手的各种参考书上,更不要去搞题海战术,走入歧途。
4.词汇学与语言学的关系。词汇学是语言学的一个分支,属于语言学的范畴。英语词汇学所介绍和涉及的一些内容与语言学上的某些章节交叉和重叠。如自考科目《现代语言学》上的第三章“形态学”和第五章“语义学”中的“词的意义”部分都是词汇学讨论的内容,因此可以联系起来学习。应该说学了语言学有助于学习词汇学,反之亦然。
四、应考问题
自考是以自学的形式通过国家粗悄规定的相关考试,最后取得国家承认的学历或学位。所以通过考试是自学人员的现实目标。把教材读懂搞清楚了不一定就能考出最理想的成绩,还有一个应考的问题。只有熟悉考试的形式、内容和方式方法才能取得最佳效果。
1.题型与能力层次。题型在《考纲》中有明确规定。《考纲》列了12种题型,但在全国英语词汇学题库设计时做了一定的改动。现在的全国英语词汇学的标准试卷由七大题组成,每题一种题型。它们分别是:I单项选择,II教材内容填空,III匹配题,IV判断填空,V术语解释,VI简答题,VII分析题。减去了《考纲》中的第二、七、十二题;把第三、八题统称为判断填空题。
题型与能力层次非一一对等,同一题型可涉及不同能力层次,如单项选择、匹配题、判断填空三种题型。
2.试卷设计与分值配置。按题库设计标准,根据各章节的内容和知识点,每份试卷对各章都有一定的分值要求。其分值配置为:第一、二章占15%;第三、四章占20%;第五、六章占25%;第七、八章各占10%;第九章占15%;第十章占5%.分值的配置基本上能显示各章节的分量。前面已说过,每章都重要。这一点从分值的分配可以看出。当然,这种分值配置只是理想化的设计,具体操作上很难做到如此准确。一套试卷由7大题50小题组成。匹配题和判断题各10小题,每题1分;简答题3小题,每题4分;综合运用题2小题,每小题9分;其它每小题均为2分。
3.读书与做题。如前所述,要想学好词汇学,必须要有恒心和拼劲,下大气力学习教材,无捷径可走。但要提高考试成绩还是有方法的。譬如匹配题和判断题,如果不熟悉其形式和思路,尽管对考题所涉及的内容很熟悉,也不一定能做好题。现以2002年上半年全国自学英语词汇学试卷其中的两题为例:
①rhetoricalfeaturesofidioms;②senserelations;③assimilationdegree;④;⑤motivation
ABreiterationAhighandlow
repetitionBpickandchoose
juxtapositionCfacetoface
personificationEhiss
①typesofcontext;②typesofwordformation;③④rhetoricalfeaturesofidioms
2sitcom
3theusualamenitiessuchasapub,apostofficeandaschool
4fromcradletograve
5mightandmain
这两道题看似简单,做起来却不容易。两道题有一个共同的特点,即涉及到不同章节的内容。前一题包括第九章、第六章、第一章、第五章的内容和知识。要做好题,必须知道英语习语的各种修辞特色;六种语义关系;两种同化程度;基本词汇的五大特征和四种理据。然后将两栏提供的语词进行比较,逐一分析,对号入座。答案是reiteration,repetition,juxtaposition,perfecthomonym,personification。其实,真正与题目有关的只是习语的修辞特色和词义的理据,其它都是干扰项。
比较而言,后一道题更难一些。该题要求考生根据所提供的例词和定义写出它们各自属于哪一类中的何种名称。如例1是第一类中的definition,例2是第二类中的blending,例3是第三类中的hyponymy,例4是第四类中的synecdoche,例5是第四类中的alliteration,等等。
如果熟悉这些题型,并能模拟做一做,在阅读中能根据题型的要求去思考问题,做到有的放矢,效果肯定会更佳。这就是所谓的“巧干”。
4.术语英汉对照表的利用。教材后附有术语英汉对照表,主要目的是为了帮助阅读和理解。知道英语专业名称的汉语意思既可以加深记忆,也可以帮助理解。还有一个更重要的用途,往往不被大家注意。术语英汉对照表基本上囊括了教材中主要知识点。尤其是名词或名词词组,每一个都是一个知识点。学完教材后,不妨把这些专业术语作为一种自测手段。如按照字母顺序逐一复习。对每一个术语都想一想其概念、定义,试着用英语表述,并能回忆一两个例子。如果忘了,再翻书复习。假如能按这种要求把所有的名词术语记住,基本上可以说把教材弄懂搞清楚了。
总而言之,英语词汇学是一门理论知识课程,涉及的内容丰富,知识点较多,学起来有一定难度。但只要同学们有决心,有恒心,敢于下工夫,在苦干的同时,加一些巧干,定能收到事半功倍的效果。

Passage 1
A mile or so before they reached Oxford, they stopped the car on top of a hill from which they could see the whole of the city spread out before them. The spires and the domes, the college walls and towers looked as peaceful as when they were first built, hundreds of years ago.
When they drove down, over the River Thames and into the city centre, they found it was not so peaceful after all! The main streets were packed with traffic: cars, lorries, coaches full of tourists and the bicycles which the students use to get about. But as soon as they had managed to park the car and get away from the roaring traffic, they discovered a completely different world. Narrow cobbled streets which had hardly changed since the Middle Ages ran between the high college walls of grey or yellow stone. Inside the great double gates of each college they found quiet squares of grass, surrounded by the chapel, the library, the dining-hall and the rooms where the students and teachers live. Many colleges had the most beautiful gardens where one could sit and read, talk, work or dream.
Most of the students, or undergraates, wore informal clothes: sports coats, or pullovers, and slacks. But some of them were wearing their black gowns. George explained that they had to wear these when going to lectures or to their weekly meeting with their tutor, or teacher. Tom and Anne were very surprised to see a few young men dressed in formal black suits, with ties, gowns and scholars’ caps. Anne asked whatever they were doing, wearing evening dress in the morning! George laughed and said that this was the official dress for taking examinations, many of which were held in June.
In one college, they visited the dining-hall. It was enormous with a high roof held up by great wooden beams with windows of stained glass as in a church, and long heavy tables and benches. At one end was the “High Table”, which is usually reserved for the Head of the college and the teachers. It really was high, raised on a wooden platform above the level of the rest of the hall. An undergraate may sit at the High Table once on the day when he has passed all his examinations, takes his degrees and becomes a graate.
21. They stopped the car on top of a hill because _______.
A. the spires and domes looked peaceful
B. they wanted to see Oxford
C. they wanted to take a rest
D. the old college walls looked different
22. Before they got away from the roaring traffic, they _______.
A. succeeded in parking their car
B. found a car park
C. tried to park their car
D. failed to park their car
23. Most of the undergraates were wearing _______.
A. suits, caps and gowns B. black gowns
C. sweaters or sports jackets D. vests and slacks
24. George told Tom and Anne students wore black gowns _______.
A. only when they were on their way to lectures
B. when meeting with their tutor once a week
C. on their way to the library
D. when they were in the chapel
25. An undergraate may sit at the High Table on the day he _______.
A. receives his degrees B. passes his exams
C. takes his exams D. leaves school
Passage 2
An ideal design for a toothbrush has not been invented. Dentists have put forward many different designs over the years and each has its advantages. We all know the problems of trying to clean less accessible areas, where it is difficult to see and space is restricted. In trying to clean the backs of our lower front teeth and our wisdom teeth we have proced toothbrushes with every type of bend in the handles and curve on the surface of the bristles(猪鬃、毛发). Added to this there is the choice of natural bristle or nylon for the heads of the toothbrush.
After numerous tests it has been found that there is no difference in effectiveness between the natural and artificial bristle. In fact, dentists are finding more advantages with the nylon toothbrush. Nylon bristle is said to last longer, is more easily cleaned and harbours fewer germs. The indivial nylon bristles tend to be more consistent in texture and do not become soft. The bristles, moreover, do not split as is the case with natural bristle.
The main advantage of natural bristles appears to be that they are more resilient(有弹性的) when new. Another controversy is the appearance of hard, medium and soft toothbrushes. We are told that certain hard brushes are good for smokers and promote healthy gums. Once again the publicity is misleading, starting with the conception that hardness means a bristle of a tougher substance. This is not so, for a hard toothbrush is one in which the diameter of the bristles is greater, thus making the brush more rigid. This causes problems because the gums are easily injured and the tooth surface is more easily worn away by this type of brush. In fact, too much pressure and the wrong technique with a hard brush can cause much damage to the teeth and gums. As the bristles are thicker, they cannot get into the narrow openings so easily. The only advantage of this type of brush is that it lasts longer. In general, therefore, a hard toothbrush is not recommended unless used with extreme care. It is much more advisable to use a medium or soft bristle toothbrush. They don’t have a very long life, and replacement is necessary as soon as the bristles split or fall out.
26. According to the passage, the artificial bristle is _______.
A. more effective than the natural one
B. less effective than the natural one
C. just as effective as the natural one
D. firmer and cleaner than the natural one
