Five Famous Symbols of American CultureThe Statue of Librty In the mid-1870s,French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, amonument celebrationg US independence and the France-America alliance.at the same time ,he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada.His mother could not approve of her son's affection for a woman she had never met,but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876. That same year Bartholdi bad assembled the staue's right arm and torch ,and displayed them im Philadelphia.It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue.He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength,someine more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother. Barbie Before all the different types of Barbie dolls for sale now,there was just asingle Barbie.Actually,her name was Barbara. Barbara Handler was the daughter of Elliot and Ruth Handler,co-founders of the Mattel Toy Company.Ruth came up with the idea for Barbie after watching her daughter play with paper dolls.The three-dimensional model for Barbie was a German doll - a joke gift for adults described as having the appearance of "a woman who sold sex".Mattel refashioned the doll into a decent,all-American-although with an exaggerated breast size - version and named it after Barbara,who was then a teenager. Now more than sixty years old, Barbara - who declines interviews but is said to have loved the doll - may be the most famous unknown figure on the planet. Barbie's boyfriend ,ken, was introduced in 1961 and named after Barbara's brother.The real Ken,who died in 1994,was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous. "I don't want my children to play with it," he said in 1993.American Gothic Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic , an oftencopied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers . The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse . He was strongly influenced by midieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhousem,but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention wook liked to paint faces he knew well. For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man.For the woman standing alongside him ,the artist chose his sister,Nan.He stretched the models'necks a bit, but there wwas no doubt who posed for the portrait. Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life . The Buffalo Nickel Today, American coins honor prominent figures of the USgovernment - mostly famous former presidents. But the Buffalo nickel,produced from 1913 to 1938 ,honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier - the destruction of the buffalo ferds and the American Indians. While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation. for the buffalo on the other side ,since buffalo no longer wandered about the great grasslands, Fraser was forced to sketch an aging buffalo from New York City's Central Park Zoo.Two years later,in 1915,this animal was sold for $199 and killed for meat ,a hide, and a wall decoration made from its horns. Uncle Sam Fourteen-year-old Sam Wilson ran away from home to join his father and older brothers in the fight to liberate the American colonies from the British during the American Revolution.At age 23,he started a meatpacking business and earned a reputation for being honest and hard working . During a later war in 1812 ,Wilson gained a position inspecting meat for US Army forces,working with a man who had signed a contract with the government to provide meat to the army. Barrels of meat supplied to the army were stamped "EA-US",identifying the conpany (EA) and country of origin(US).According to one story, when a government official visited the plant and asked about the letters, a creative employee toldd him"US" was short for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all Army supplies were from "Uncle Sam". After the war, a character called Uncle Sam began appearing in political cartoons, his form evolving from an earlier cartoon character called Brother Jonathan that was popular during the American Revolution.Uncle Sam soon replace Brother Jonathan as American's most popular symbol.The most enduring portrait of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg in his famous army recruiting posters of World Wars I and II. That version - a tall man with white hair and a small white beard on his chin , a dark blue boat and a tall hat with stars on it - was a self-fortrait of Flagg.

Lesson21 Daniel MendozaBoxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for Prize money. Because of this, they were known as prize-fighters. However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match. One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduCed until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set Of rules. Though he was technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike. Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $1oo for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836. Lesson22 By heartSome plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night. One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter. Yet this is not always the case.A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on tothe stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full. One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow-actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim. Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed dim, sire. I must get my glasses.' With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.Lesson23 One man′s meat is another man′s poisonPeople become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat-- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in thehall and Robert and I went into the living-room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.

英语必修2第一单元课文翻译寻找琥珀屋普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为造这间房子用了近几吨琥珀,被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽,呈黄褐色,像蜜一样。屋子的设计当时流行的极富艺术表现力的建筑风格。琥珀屋这件珍品还镶嵌著黄金和珠宝,全国最优秀的艺术家用了是年的时间才完成它。事实上,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。它是作为腓烈特一世的宫殿而建造的。然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓烈特·威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不再要它了。1716年,他把它送给了彼得大帝。作为回馈,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。所以,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡东宫的一部分。琥珀屋长约4米,被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。后来、叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。她让艺术家们给它增添了更多的装饰。1770年,这间琥珀屋按她要求的方式完工了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间,里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。不幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界奇迹之一,可是现在它却下落不明。1941年9月,纳粹德国的军队逼近了圣彼得堡。这是两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子能够到达夏宫之前,俄国人只来得及把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术饰品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子秘密地头运走了。在不到两天的时间里,琥珀屋被拆成10万块装进了27个木箱里。毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,当时它是波罗的海的海边的一个城市。从那以后,琥珀屋的最终归宿就成了一个谜。最近俄国人和德国人已经在夏宫建立起了一个新的琥珀屋,通过研究前琥珀屋的照片,他们使得新的琥珀屋的样子与原来的非常相像。2003年,在圣彼得堡人民庆祝他们的城市建立300周年的时候,它已经完工了. 高中英语必修2第二单元课文翻译采 访 保萨尼阿斯是2000年前的一位希腊作家，他作了一次魔幻的旅行，来打听当代奥林匹克运动会的情况。他现在正在采访一位叫莉莉的中国姑娘。 保：我叫保萨尼阿斯。我生活在你们所说的“古希腊”。我曾经写过2000年前奥林匹克运动会的情况。我来到你们这个时代，想了解有关当代奥运会的情况，因为我知道2004年奥运会是在我的家乡雅典举行的。能不能问你几个问题呢？ 莉：当然可以。你想了解什么呢？ 保：你们的奥运会多久举行一次？ 莉：每四年，来自全世界的运动员都可以参赛。运动会有两种：夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会。这两种运动会都是四年举行一次。冬季奥运会通常是在夏季奥运会的前两年举行。 保：冬季奥运会？冬天怎么可能赛跑呢？又怎么可能赛马呢？ 莉：噢，不！冬奥会并不包括赛跑和赛马，但是却有像溜冰和滑雪这类需要冰雪的比赛项目，所以才叫它冬季奥运会。 保：全世界的运动员都来参赛？你是指希腊的世界？我们希腊各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞争过。别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能参加。 莉：所有国家都能参赛，只要它们的运动员达到了参赛的标准。总共有250多个运动项目，每个项目都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加，而且她们还起着非常重要的作用，特别是在…… 保：请停一停！所有这么多项目，所有这么多的国家，甚至妇女也都参加！所有这些参赛的人又住在哪里呢？ 莉：有一个特殊的村庄供参赛的人住，有供比赛用的体育场，有很大的游泳池，有室内体育馆，还有观众席呢。 保：那一定要花很多钱吧。会有人想承办奥运会吗？ 莉：其实人人都想承办，这是极大的荣誉。国与国之间争取奥运会承办权的竞争就跟争夺奥运奖牌一样的激烈。2008年的奥运会将在中国举行，你知道吗？ 保：是的，听说过，你一定很骄傲吧。你刚才说奖牌是吗？就连橄榄枝花环也被奖牌替代了！天哪，你们也为钱而竞赛吗？ 莉：不，不是为钱。还是为了能够跑得更快，跳得更高，掷得更远。 保：谢谢，占用了你的时间。这真是条好新闻。再见。检举回答人的补充 2010-01-19 19:30高中英语必修2第三单元课文翻译我是谁？随着时间的流逝，我在不断的发生变化。1642年，在法国我初次以计算机的身份登场。尽管我那时很年轻，我已能够简化一些复杂的计算题。我进化得比较缓慢，直到两百年后，我才被查尔斯�6�1巴贝奇改造成分析仪。一个程序员用打孔卡片给我设计了一套程序，那以后我具有了逻辑思维，计算结果的速度比任何人都快。那时我被认为是一次技术革命，是人工智能的起步。1936年，我名副其实的父亲阿兰�6�1图灵写了一本关于我的书。他在书中描述了如何使我成为全球通用的机器并且解决任何数学上的难题。从那时起，我的身材和智力都发展的比较快。到19世纪40年代，我已经变得和一间小房间那么大了，我在担心我以后会不会变得更大。我庞大的体型也愁坏了我的那些设计者。时光飞逝，我逐渐变小，从个人电脑蜕变成了笔记本电脑。从1970年开始，我就已经被用于办公室和家里。当然了，我的这些变化只能在我内存提高的情况下发生。开始的时候，内存是在电子管里的，后来在晶体管里，再后来就是储存在小小的芯片里了。也是因为如此，我完全地变了模样。我年纪越大，体型就越小，我的记忆力越来越好，就像一头大象的记忆力一样。我从不会忘记任何被告知的事情。我的记忆力强大到连我自己都难以置信。美中不足的是我一个人呆着总是感到孤独。19世纪60年代早期，我的设计员给我联网了。我能够通过环球信息网和其它同伴分享知识。19世纪70年代开始，人类为我找了很多新的装置。我在交际，金融和贸易上已经举足轻重。我还被植入机器人身体里，并且用来制造手机，我也会协助医疗手术。我已经被装进航空火箭系统，被派遣去探索月球和火星。不论我做了什么，我的目的是提供人类高质量的生活。能成为人类的忠心的朋友和助手，我的内心快乐无比。高中英语必修2第四单元课文翻译戴西是如何学会保护野生动物的不久以前有一位叫戴西的小姑娘，一天她醒来，发现床边有一把飞椅。它问：“你想去哪儿？”戴西急忙穿戴起来，她穿好牛仔裤和毛衣，说道：“我想去看看为做这件毛衣而提供毛绒的那种动物。”椅子开始起飞了，它飞往中国的西藏，飞得比鸟还快。“羚羊在哪里呀？”戴西喊道，“怎么只有大山和人呢！”她转过身来，看到一头羚羊带着忧郁的神色望着她。它说：“我们的毛正被用以制作你穿的那种毛衣。为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，他们把我们杀了。每年我的朋友中有2万9千多头被杀，现在我们只剩下7万2千头了，再过三年我们可能就全都没有了！”戴西开始哭了，并说道：“我过去不知道还有这回事儿呢。飞椅啊，请把我带到某个有野生动物保护的地方去，好吗？”椅子飞得特别快，飞得你都看不到它了。一转眼，他们便来到津巴布韦。戴西转过身去，看到一头兴奋而激动的大象正望着她。大象问道：“你是来给我拍照的吗？或者你是想给犀牛拍照吗？”戴西笑了。“我正在这里等着呢，因为我们在津巴布韦都快成濒危动物了。农民过去总是捕杀我们和犀牛。即使旅游者希望看到我们，他们（当地农民）也不愿保护我们。农民们说，我们破坏了他们的农田，而旅游者的钱过去都流进了首都哈雷拉的大型旅游公司。于是政府决定出面提供帮助。他们要旅游公司把旅游者带到这个地区来拍照，或者来打猎，他们拨出一定数量的动物供人们捕猎。旅游公司申请批准作有偿捕猎，这样农民就可以赚很多钱，结果农民就喜欢我们了，他们不再捕杀我们了。好了，快点吧！我现在准备让你拍照了！”戴西很快拍了照，于是她笑道：“这样比较好。不过，我还想按照世界野生动物基金会（WWF）的建议来帮助你们。”椅子再次升起，一会儿他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。一只猴子一边擦着身体，一边望着他们。戴西问它：“你在干什么呢？”它回答说：“我这样做可以防止蚊虫叮咬。我发现一种千足虫，把它擦在身上，它含有一种强效的药物可以防止蚊虫叮咬。如果你重视我生活的热带雨林，并且懂得雨林的动物是如何在一起生活的，那可能对你有好处。没有雨林，就没有动物，也就没有药物了。戴西很惊讶。“飞椅，带我回家去，我可以告诉世界野生动物基金会来开始生产这种新药。猴子，跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了，椅子升起来，飞回了家。当他们着地时，一切就开始逐渐消失了。两分钟后，什么都没了——猴子也没了。这样，戴西就不能制造新药了。但是，这是一次多么奇妙的经历呀！她学了那么多东西！而且，还有世界野生动物基金会呢……高中英语必修2第五单元课文翻译
