 Text A The Importance of Being Kind and Polite

“Frankly, I think you're boring.” Why do we seldom hear people speak so honestly?

本句翻譯:“公開跟你講,我覺得你很討厭。”為什么我們幾乎聽不到人們會這樣非常直來直去的講話呢?

seldom 很少,幾乎不

Unless you want to end a relationship, you don't tell another person what you think of her or him like this.

unless (conj.)除非;如果不

For example: I shall go there unless it rains. 如果不下雨,我將去那里。

You will fail unless you work harder. 你若不更加努力,你就會失敗。

end (finish)結束

Failing to be impressed by a friend's collection of stamps, yawning when a golfer tells you about that great shot he made on the 14th hole, or falling asleep when friends show pictures from their last trip to Sault Ste. Marie are all things that educated people try not to do.

本句翻譯:對你的朋友集郵的成就無動于衷;當一個高爾夫球手興興高采烈地告訴你,他的第14穴打得很精彩時,你卻在打哈欠;當你的朋友們興致勃勃地給你看他們最近到蘇圣瑪麗去旅游拍下的那些照片時,你卻酣然入睡了——這一切都是有教養(yǎng)的人所盡力避免的。

三個并列的動名次短語做句子的主語failing to be impressed…, yawning…, falling asleep…

failing to be impressed 沒有記住…

falling asleep 睡覺

This is what manners are about: acting in a civilized way to avoid misunderstanding, friction, and conflict.

Yet we cannot interact with others without some rules of behavior, rules that are set by some form of social consensus.

本句翻譯: 可是,如果沒有一定的道德行為的準則,人們互相間就無法交往了。這些準則是以社會上一致贊成的公德的形式確定下來的。

interact with others 彼此交流,彼此交往

without some rules… 相當于一個條件狀語從句的否定式

These guidelines represent what a majority of people consider acceptable and what they consider unacceptable.

本句翻譯: 這些道德行為準則代表著大多數(shù)人所能接受的和他們認為所不能接受的做法。

Rude people are those whose behavior shows little respect for the rules that the majority follow.

class 階層,群體

look-at-me 看看我

Sometimes, it is better to remain unknown than to make people hate you.

本句翻譯:在他們參加工作以后,他們的雇主和在工作中與之打交道的那些人都會一致意識到這些粗野的青年人的所作所為都和野獸的行為很接近,而不像規(guī)規(guī)矩矩的市民。

associate: colleague 同事

close (to) (adv.)接近于,靠近

When they lose a few contracts because they talk with their mouth full, or when they say “Bob” to someone who should be “Mr.Johnson,” these grown-up kids, because of their ignorance, will never understand why others are getting ahead and they are not.

they talk with 該句型結構為:with +(n.)+(a.)構成的獨立主格結構,在句中作狀語,表示伴隨。(名詞后除可用形容詞外,還可用分詞<現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞>、介詞短語和副詞。)

本句翻譯:我們要占優(yōu)勢干什么?一個人一生事業(yè)的成功經(jīng)常是始于我們所喜歡的工作,而要得到自己所喜歡的工作,經(jīng)常要靠給人留下良好的印象。待人和藹可親彬彬有禮總是上策。

本句翻譯:只有當一個人的兩只腳所邁出的每一步的長短都完全相同時,這個人才可以不用眼睛來引導腳步而能夠順著一條直線往前走。

In most people, however, muscle development is not the same in both legs, so that it is probable that the steps will be uneven.

本句翻譯:但是,在絕大多數(shù)人左右兩腿肌肉的發(fā)育并不是一樣的,結果很可能左右兩腳所邁的步子長短是不一致的。

so that 因此…引導是結果狀語從句

The difference may be so small that no one is aware of it. But small as it is, it can cause circular movement.

本句翻譯:邁步子長短的差距是非常小的,以致于沒有人會意識到這一微小的差距。盡管這個差距很小,但結果卻導致了圓周運動。

9. as / as though

small as it is “是as/as though 引導的讓步狀語從句,此時從句應倒裝(部分倒裝),其結構為”形容詞/名詞/動詞)+as (though)+主+謂

For example: Pretty as she is, she is not clever.她雖然很漂亮但是不聰明。

Child as he is, he has to make a living.雖然他是一個孩子,但是他必須去謀生。

Try as he would, he might fail again.盡管還有可能再試著去做,但是他還是有可能失敗。

本句翻譯:這聽起來讓人覺得不可能。因為一只腳不可能落后于另一只腳五十英寸。

What really happens?

本句翻譯:到底是怎么回事呢?

At each step the man turns a little bit to the left.

本句翻譯:每邁一步這個人就稍微向左轉了一點點。

Sooner or later he makes a complete circle.

本句翻譯:遲早,他會走成一個大圓圈。

The tracks of his feet, however, make two circles, one inside the other.

本句翻譯:于是他的兩只腳所走過軌跡就形成了兩個圓圈,一個圓圈在另一的內部。

track 足跡,腳印

His left foot makes the smaller circle because it is taking larger steps.

本句翻譯:他的左腳所走的圈比較小,因為右腳的每一步都大一點。

This is why a person may walk in an arc when he sets out in a straight line.

本句翻譯:這就是一個人在出發(fā)時本來是想走的直線,結果卻走成了一條弧線的原因。

The muscles of a man's arms are no more identical than the muscles of his legs.

本句翻譯:一個人的兩只胳膊肌肉的發(fā)育和他的兩只腿的肌肉的發(fā)育也是不同的。

For example: He is no more than an employee. 他僅僅是一名員工。

He is no more able to operate computer than I am. 他和我一樣都不會用計算機。

This explains why the rowers who set out to cross the lake at night rowed in a circle.

本句翻譯:這足可以說明這些在夜間出發(fā)去橫渡湖面的劃船手把船劃行的路線劃成了一個大圓圈的道理。

By the same rule, a bird's wings do not develop evenly, and so it will fly in circles when blinded.

本句翻譯:同理,鳥的左右兩個翅膀的發(fā)育也是不均衡的,所以如果它的眼睛瞎了以后,也會繞圓圈飛行。

by the same rule 同理

Thus, dear readers, our circular mystery has a very straight answer.

本句翻譯:由此可見,親愛的讀者,這就是我們的圓圈運動之迷的最直截了當?shù)拇鸢浮?/p>

circular 圓圈的

straight 直線的;直接的

On one hand, from the word itself, we can see that one is “circular”, the other is “straight”, the two words are in contrast with each other; on the other hand, the circular mystery has been thought for a long time and tested again and again; however, the answer is absolutely certain. So, both of the two words are used in double senses, creating a special effect.

本段翻譯:這是從字面意思來看一個是圓的,一個是直的,他們之間是相對的兩個詞,另外一個方面說有關圓圈之謎,被大家思考了很久的時間了,一次又一次地進行實驗,而最終得到的答案卻是一目了然的事情,這樣一來,兩個單詞被在一起使用一語雙關,產(chǎn)生了一種獨特的效果。
