1、Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!永不言弃!1 As a young boy, Britains great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules.

2、 Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender duri

3、ng the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.英国的伟大首相温斯顿丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能 早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来,他凭 着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无 畏勇气,为他赢得了美

4、名。他非凡的决心,不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, uYoung gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever

5、sound advice he may give you. The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!*在他首相任期即将结束时,他应邀前往母校哈罗公学,为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说:“年轻的先生们, 当

6、代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲,他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。那个激动人心的日子终于 到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来他只有5英尺5英寸高，体重却有107公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话:“年轻人，要永 不放弃。永不放弃!永不放弃!永不，永不，永不,永不!3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparat

7、ion is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called slow to learn and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school

8、 because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didnt speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, an

9、d the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.个人经历、教育机会、个人困境，这些都不能阻挡个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意志的人。任务再苦，准 备再

10、长,难度再大，都不能让他放弃自己的追求。就以本时代最有学问的两位科学家阿尔伯特爱因斯坦和托马斯爱 迪生为例，他们都曾面临巨大的障碍和极端的批评，都曾被说成“不开窍”,被老师当成笨蛋而放弃。托马斯爱迪生还 曾逃学,因为老师嫌他问的问题太多而经常鞭打他。爱因斯坦一直到将近9岁才能流利地说话,学习成绩太差,有些 人认为他都已经学不好了。然而，这两个男孩的父母都相信他们。他们坚持不懈地每天和儿子一起努力，孩子们也了 解到，要想成功，就绝不要怕付出长期而艰辛的努力。最终,爱因斯坦和爱迪生都摆脱了童年的困扰,进而作出了造 福当今全世界的伟大发现。4 Consider also the heroic exa

11、mple of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his firs

12、t love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his e

13、fforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.再如亚伯拉罕林肯这个英雄的典范,他一生面临了无数艰辛、失败和接二连三的不幸。他的出身和经历真是一点 也算不上光鲜。他在个非常贫困的家庭长大,只受过

14、一年正规教育。经商两度失败,初恋爱人的突然离世也使他精 神崩溃，还在八次政治选举中落马。此后,他的四个孩子有三个不幸去世,令他悲痛欲绝。然而,坚强的意志鞭策着 他，推动他前进,使他更加乐观、投入、坚毅。这让他得以全力以赴,一次次战胜生命中的巨大困难和挫折。百年 之后，世界各地的人们都赞颂亚伯拉罕林肯,认为他是有史以来最伟大的美国总统。5 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who keep their eyes on the prize, those who uphold a committed and focused will and sp

15、irit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because t

16、hey had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals.与丘吉尔和林肯样,只有那些“执著地追求成功的人,那些保持始终如一的精神意志的人，会通过自身的努 力，获得成功。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家都有同样的经历。他们之所以能取得这样的成就，是因为他们拥 有强烈的意愿，不懈地准备、奋斗,并保持对成功的激情。他们取得了成功，并不是因为成功很容易，而是因为他们 拥有克服重重障碍的意志,为了追求目标而勤奋努力。6 After growing up on a

17、 cattle ranch without running water or electricity, Sandra Day OConnor fought to achieve the best education possible. Consistently graduating at the top of her class, she worked her way into Stanford Law School, where she graduated with honors. But despite all of her hard work, Sandra Day OConnor wa

18、s still a woman in the 1950s. Even with the prestige of her degree from Stanford, she was rejected from the entire law circuit as firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather than risk hiring a female lawyer, which was unprecedented. Yet Sandra Day OConnor refused to give up on her dreams. Thro

19、ugh sheer persistence she was eventually nominated and then appointed the first woman Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America. There, she acted as a crucial vote on issues like abortion and womens rights.桑德拉戴奥康纳成长于既没自来水也没电的养牛场,她努力学习以使自己接受到最好的教育。她的学习成绩在班 上始终名列前茅，一路奋斗终于进入了斯坦福大学法学院，并以优异的成

20、绩从法学院毕业。尽管奥康纳勤奋刻苦，但 在20世纪50年代，她仍然受到女人身份的制约。即使斯坦福大学的学位有良好的声誉，她仍被整个法律界拒之门外， 因为事务所宁愿聘请干稍逊的男性,也不愿冒险破例雇佣一位女律师。然而,桑德拉戴奥康纳并未放弃梦想。她执 著地坚持下去,终于得到提名并被任命为美国第一位女性最高法院大法官。她任职期间,对很多问题,例如堕胎和妇 女权利,都起到了极为关键的作用。7 Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required t

21、o achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire a robust, fierce will and focus 一 that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a

22、 wise saying goes: Its not how many times you fall down that matters. Its how many times you get back up that makes success!很多人只是嘴上说他们想要什么东西,但并不真正地付出大量努力去实现。很多人因为害怕失败而不敢全心尝试。 而成功的秘诀在于内心燃烧的欲望种坚定不移的意志和专注力从而激发行动的决心,即使疲惫，即使失败， 也会继续准备,继续前进。正如一句箴言所说:“你摔倒了多少次并不要紧;你能多少次重新站起来对成功至关重要!8 Focus on becoming more

23、knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going 一 even when you are tired and want to slack or the odds seem too large. Keep your eyes on the prize! Where theres a will, theres a way! With hard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can tran

24、scend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!专注于汲取更多的知识,争取持之以恒地渐进，保持永不言退的坚强意志即使在你疲惫想要松懈的时候，或 者困难重重之时。“执著地追求成功!“有志者,事竟成!只要刻苦努力，意志坚决，专心投入,准备充分,你就能跨 越一切障碍，完成所有壮举,取得成功！Unit 1Text B Chance favors the prepared机遇偏爱有准备之人1 Les Brown and his twin brother were adopted by Mamie Brown, a kitchen

Upon gradua

26、tion, he became a garbage collector. The prospective opportunities for his future looked slim to others, but not to Les. He had a passion, a dream 一 a big dream that he was ready to work hard for. He was destined to be a disc jockey, also known as a DJ, one of the radio celebrities mixing music broa

27、dcasts for the whole city.由于儿时过度好动,还爱不停地说话,莱斯被送到专为学习困难儿童而设的特殊教育班,并一直读到了高中。 毕业,他就成了一名垃圾清运。大家都觉得他将来不会有什么好前途,但他自己却不这么想。他有激情,有梦想 个让他为之奋斗的伟大梦想。他觉得自己一定会成为电台音乐唱片节目主持人,通常也叫“DJ”,那可是电台名人, 专门为面向全市的广播制作音乐节目。3 At night he would take a radio to bed so he could indulge his dream by listening to the local DJs. He c

28、reated an imaginary radio station in his tiny bedroom. A hairbrush served as his microphone as he energetically practiced speaking his masterpieces to his imaginary listeners.一到晩上,他就带着收音机上床睡觉,这样他就可以边听着当地DJ的节目,边沉浸在自己的梦想里。他在自 己的小卧室里营造了一个假想电台。他把梳子当麦克风,劲头十足地对着想象中的听众练习自己的杰作。4 He aggravated his friends wi

29、th his constant practicing. They all told him that he didn*t have a chance and he would never be a DJ. They scorned him and said to stop dreaming and focus on the real world. Nonetheless, Les didnt let their negativity stop him. He kept his goals close to his heart and remained wrapped up in his own

So, Les first chance at success had been a complete bust.“哦，孩子，那恐怕我们没法雇

33、用你,”经理直截了当地回应。就这样，莱斯对成功的第一次尝试完全以失败告终。9 Les was determined. He adored his adoptive mother, Mamie Brown, and was careful with his money to try and buy her nice things. Despite everyones discouragement, she believed in him and had taught him to pursue his goals and persist in his dreams no matter what

34、others said.莱斯十分坚定。他很爱自己的养母玛米布朗,还精打细算攒钱为她买喜欢的东西。尽管人人都打击他,但她却十 分信任他,告诉他不管别人怎么说，都要追求自己的目标,坚持自己的梦想。10 So, in spite of what the station manager had originally said, Les returned to the station every day for a week. His persistence was very persuasive, and the station manager finally gave in and took Les

Eventually, his enthusiasm won their confidence and they would send Les in their Cadillac to pick up celebrities, not knowing that he didnt even have a drivers

36、 license!因此,不管电台经理之前怎么说，莱斯每天还是会去电台，这样持续了一周。他的坚持很能打动人，电台经理终 于让了步,让他做些小事情不过没有报酬。莱斯负责给大家提供咖啡和吃的东西。他在工作中尽力满足大家的 每个要求，而且只要有需要，任何时候都可以加班。最后,他的工作热情赢得了大家的信任，他们让莱斯开着凯迪 拉克去接送名人，居然不知道他连驾照都没有。11 While hanging out with the stations real DJs, Les taught himself their posture and hand movements on the control pane

Nothing scared me as much as water.当时我和朋友正在法国旅行,我们把汽车停在海滩,眼前就是地中海。巨浪翻滚击打着构筑起防波堤的偌大岩石。 人们说这里的海滩以其可怕的裂流而著称。恐惧让我不寒而栗。没有什么比水让我更害怕了。2 Just the

48、 sight of the sea made me sick to my stomach.只是看到了海就已经让我觉得反胃。3 Id always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when Id decided to climb up to the highest diving board at the pool. Id hopped from that height and hit the water with an incredible impact. The air was ousted from my lungs and I blacked out. The next thing I knew, my brother was pulling my feeble body out of the pool. From then on, my fear wouldnt recede; I was absolutely terrified of water.我曾经一直都是喜欢水的,并且直到去年夏天我都还是一名游泳好手。那时,我决定爬上游泳池边上最高的跳板 来跳水。我从那么髙的地方跳下,重重地撞击到水面上。我肺里的空气一下子全被挤出去了，马上不省人事。醒来时 发现哥哥正把我虚弱的身体从游泳池里拖出来。从那
