1、中英文对照的文章 不少读者觉得阅读英文文章，看到不懂的单词意思却要查字典比较麻烦，但是假如带有翻译的英文文章就没有这样苦恼了。下面就是学习啦我给大家整理的中英文比照的文章，希望大家喜爱。 中英文比照的文章篇1：Divorce and Kids 离婚与孩子 Barbara Dafoe Whitehead 巴巴拉·达福·怀特黑德 Divorce is transforming the lives of American children.In the past World War 2 generation, morethan 80 percent of children

2、 grew up with both biological parents. Today only half will do so.Each year more than a million children experience family breakup: about as many are born outof wedlock. 离婚正在变更美国儿童的生活。二次世界大战后的一代人中，80%以上的儿童都在亲生父母身边长大。今日只有半数是如此。每年有一百多万儿童的家庭裂开，这与非婚生儿的数量大体相同。 At the same time, the problems associated wi

3、th family disruption have grown. Overall child well-being has declined,despite historically high public spending. The teen suicide rate has almosttripled. Juvenile crime has increased and become more violent. School performance has beenpoor. 与此同时，家庭裂开带来的问题层出不穷。尽管政府的开支历来很大，儿童总的生活水平却有所下降。青少年的自杀率几乎增长了两

4、倍。青少年犯罪率上升，而且暴力案件越来越多，而学业成果甚差。 Given such a dramatic impact on children’s lives, one might expect today’s high divorce rate tobe viewed more widely as a national crises. Yet, those who argue that it poses a serious threatare dismissed as being pessimistic or nostalgic, unwilling to accep

5、t the new facts of life. Thedominant view in the popular culture is that the changes in family structure are, on balance,positive. And until recently there was little hard evidence to confirm or dispute thisassumption. 儿童的生活既然受到如此显著的影响，有人可能把当今的高离婚率视作一场全国性的危机。然而，持有这种观点的人却被斥之为过分悲观或怀旧，被认为是不愿接受新的生活现实。大众

6、文化普遍认为，家庭结构的改变总的说来是主动的。但直到最近还没有什么确凿的证据可以证明或反对这种说法。 A 1940s book on divorce asserted:; Children are entitled to the affection and association oftwo parents, not one.; In the 1950s most Americans believed parents should stay in anunhappy marriage to avoid damaging the children. 40年头的一本论述离婚的书曾称：;孩子有权享有

7、父母双方而不是其中一方的宠爱和关怀;。50年头，多数美国人认为，做父母的即使婚姻不美满，也要维持下去，以免损害孩子。 But by mid-1970s what had once been regarded as hostile to children’s best interests wasconsidered essential to adults’ happiness. ;A two-parent home is not the only emotionalstructure within which a child can be happy and health

8、y,; a popular divorce book of this eraproclaimed. ;The parents who take care of themselves will be best able to take care of theirchildren.; 但到70年头中期，人们的观念有所变更，原先说离婚会损害子女们的最高利益，此时则认为离婚是关乎成人华蜜的大事。当年一本论述离婚的畅销书声称：;双亲家庭并不是唯一能让孩子过得健康欢乐的情感寄予所，做父母的只有照看好自己才能更好地照看好孩子。; As this optimistic view took shape, man

9、y expects believed that the psychological impact ofdivorce on children was like a bad cold. There was a phase of acute discomfort, then a shortrecovery。 Kids would be back on their feet in no time, with no lasting harm. 这种乐观的看法一形成，就有很多专家认为，离异对孩子心理上的影响好比患了重感冒：起先一段时间会极不舒适，接着是短暂的复原期。不久孩子得到康复，苦痛慢慢消逝。 By

10、 the early 1980s, however, nearly two decades had passed since the changes in family life hadbegun. During the intervening years a fuller body of empirical research had emerged: studiesthat used large samples, or followed families through time, or did both. Moreover, several of thestudies offered a

11、child’s-eye view of family disruption. 然而到80年头初，家庭生活中发生的这种婚姻改变已经验了近二十个年头。在此期间，大量以阅历为依据的探讨工作脱颖而出：或广泛调查大批实例，或长期跟踪家庭进行探讨，或双管齐下。而且，不少探讨还供应了孩子对家庭裂开的看法。 In 1971 Judith Wallerstein, a clinical psychologist, and her staff began interviewing middle-class children in the San Francisco area at the time t

12、heir parents broke up. She discovered thechildren seemed to be doing worse. Five years after breakup, her research shows, more than athird of the children were experiencing moderate or severe depression. At ten years asignificant number to be troubled, drifting, underachieving. At 15 years many, now

13、 adults,were struggling to establish strong love relationships of their own. 1971年，临床心理学家朱迪斯·沃勒斯坦及其工作人员起先走访旧金山地区一些中产阶级家庭的孩子——当时他们父母的关系已裂开，有的已离异一年之久。她并没有发觉孩子的感情有什么奇迹般的复原;事实上，这些孩子的状况好像每况愈下。 Five years after breakup, her research shows, more than a third of the children wereexperienc

14、ing moderate or severe depression. At ten years a significant number appeared tobe troubled, drifting, underachieving. At 15 years many, now adults, were struggling toestablish strong love relationships of their own. 她的探讨表明，在家庭裂开5年后，三分之一以上的孩子患有中度或严峻的抑郁症。10年后，有一大批孩子表现得心情苦恼，改变无常，学习成果差，15年后，很多人都已成年了，就舍

15、命建立自己真正心爱的坚固关系。 Research shows that girls in single-parent families are at greater risk for teenage marriage,nonmarital birth, and divorce than girls in two-parent families-and that this is true regardlessof race or income. Also, children in disrupted families are nearly twice as likely to drop out

16、ofhigh school. Boys are at greater risk of dropping out than girls and are more prone toaggressive behavior. 探讨表明，单亲家庭女孩的冒险性大于双亲家庭的女孩：性早熟，十几岁结婚，少年怀孕，非婚生育，离婚 —— 而且不分种族、肤色和收入，都是如此。再者，家庭分裂的孩子中学退学率几乎要高出一倍。男孩比女孩更简单退学，更好寻衅闹事。 Scholars also find significant difference in educational attainment.

17、 According to a 1980 study bythe National Association of Elementary School Principals, 30 parent of Two-parent elementarystudents ranks as high achievers, as compared with 17 percent of single-parent of single-parent students. The children in single-parent families were also more likely to be truant

18、 orreceive disciplinary action. 学者们还发觉，在学业成果上也有显著差异。根椐1980年全国小学校长协会的一项调查，在双亲家庭的小学生中，有百分之三十为优等生，而在单亲家庭的孩子中只有百分之十七为优等生。单亲家庭的子女逃学或受处分的状况也屡见不鲜。 Since most children live with their mothers after divorce, one might expect that the mother-childbond would even be strengthened. Yet research shows that only h

19、alf the children whosemothers were protective before a divorce. Moreover, the mother-child relationships deterioratedover time. 由于多数孩子在父母离婚后跟母亲过，有人以为母子关系会因此而加深，但探讨表明，仅有半数孩子的母亲在离婚后还能保持离婚前的那种慈幼关系。何况这种母子关系是随时间而衰退的。 Family disruption has been suggested as a central cause of many vexing social problems,

20、aswell. 有人提出，家庭裂开还是引发很多恼人的社会问题的主要缘由。 Nationally, over 70 percent of juveniles in state reform institutions come from homes withoutboth parents present. Family breakup is thought to be an important source of high crime ratesin the nation’s cities. And, according to one study, its influence is i

21、ndependent of race orincome. 从全国来看，在州立管教所中，有百分之七十的少年犯来自非双亲家庭。家庭裂开是全国城市犯罪率高的一个重要缘由。有一项调查还说，其影响所及，非种族或收入所能限制。 Nowhere has the impact of family breakup been more profound than in our schools. Acrossthe nation, principals report a dramatic rise in the aggressive, acting-out behaviorcharacteristic of chi

22、ldren living in single-parent families. 我们的学校受到家庭裂开的影响最大。校长们的报告指出，在全国范围内，住在单亲家庭中的孩子所特有的那种寻衅闹事的发泄行为已明显增加。 Over the past 25 years Americans have been conducting a vast natural experiment in family life.The results are becoming clear. Adults have benefited from the changes, but not children.Indeed, thi

23、s may be the first generation to do worse psychologically and socially than theirparents. 在过去的25年里，美国人始终在家庭生活中进行着一项浩大而又顺乎自然的试验。其结果日见明朗。成从改变中得益，儿童则不然。说真的，这一代子女，或许是心理上、社会上都不如自己父母的第一代人。 The novelist Pat Conroy has observed that"each divorce is the death of a small civilization. "Noone feels t

24、his more acutely than children. 小说家帕特·康洛伊说过：;每一起离异都是一小点文明的泯灭。;痛感于此者，莫过于儿童了。 中英文比照的文章篇2：A Nation of Hypochondriacs 一个疑病症患者的国度 Norman Cousins 诺曼·克森斯 The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that theNo.1 health problem in the U.S. today, even m

25、ore than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don'tknow how to think about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on the terror level. Wefear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst. The result is that we are becoming anation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating socie

26、ty incapabel of distinguishingbetween casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention. 在一所医学院校任教十二年来,我获得的主要印象是:当今美国头号的健康问题,甚至比爱滋病或癌症都更为严峻的问题,就是美国人不知道如何去相识健康与疾病。我们的反应是建立在恐惊这个尺度之上的。我们怕最坏的事,期盼着最坏的事,而恰恰就招来了最坏的事。结果,我们变成了一个一个虚弱的、自疑有病的国度,一个分不清哪些 是日常偶发症状、哪些又是须要医生医治的症状,而自己擅自用药的社会。 Som

27、ewhere in our early educatioin we become addicted to the notion that pain means sickness.We fail to learn that pain is the body's way of informing the mind that we are doing somethingwrong, not necessarily that something is wrong. We don't understand that pain may be tellingus that we are ea

28、ting too much or the wrong things; or that we are smoking too much ordrinking too much; or that there is too much emotional congestion in our lives; or that we arebeing worn down by having to cope daily with overcrowded streets and highways, theprounding noise of garbage grinders, or the cosmic dist

29、ance between the entrance to theairport and the departure gate. We get the message of pain all wrong. Instead of addressingourselves to the cause, we become pushovers for pills, driving the pain underground andinviting it to return with increased authority. 在我们早期教化的某个阶段,我们变 得对难受即疾病这一概念深信不疑。我们不知道,人体只

30、是用难受这种方式通知大脑,我们的行为出了差错,而并—定是健康有间题。我们不明白,难受可能是在告威我们,或吃得太饱,或吃得不当,或吸烟太多,或饮酒过度,或生 活中感愔煎熬太苦,或因每天都得面对拥挤的大街和马路、忍受垃圾粉碎机的撞击声和奔波于从机场入口到登机 之间的长距离而被搞得过分疲惫。我们把难受传达的信息全搞错了。我们不去探査其缘由,却大服其药,把难受 压下去,从而招致它以更大的威力再次发作。 Early in life, too, we become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted byi

31、nvisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to protectourselves against their fury. Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact thatour bodies are forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style. 我们在少年时代就种下了一种惊奇的观念:一种肉眼看不见的叫做 细菌的小妖怪在不断向我们进玟,我们

32、必需常备不懈地爱护自己不受其损害。然而，我们对另一个重要事实却未能赐予同样的重视，那就是，我们的身体装备精良，足以应付这些小妖怪，而且防止妖怪进攻的最佳途径就是保持合理的生活方式。 The most signficant single statement about health to appear in the medical journals during thepast decade is by Dr. Franz Ingelfinger, the late and former editor of the New England Journalof Medicine. Ingelfin

33、ger noted that almost all illnesses are self-limiting. That is, the human bodyis capable of handling them without outside intervention. The thrust of the article was thatwe need not feel we are helpless if disease tries to tear away at our bodies, and that we canhave greater confidence in the realit

34、y of a healing system that is beautifully designed to meetof its problems. And even when ourside help is required, our own resources have something ofvalue to offer in a combined strategy of treatment. 新英格兰医学杂志前主编(已故)弗朗兹·英杰芬格博士的文章,是过去十年中医学刊物上发表的有关健康的最重要论述,他指出，几乎全部的疾病本身都有肯定的极限。也就是说，人体可在没有外来干预的

35、状况下应付这些疾患。这篇文章雄辩地指出，受到疾病攻击时，我们无需感到无助，而且对下述事实应抱有更充分的信念：人体的康复机制非常精妙，足以应付大部分疾病。即使在须要外援的状况下,我们的肌体本身也能对治疗进行有力的合作。 No one gets out of this world alive, and few people come through life without at least oneserious illness. If we are give a serious diagnosis, it is useful to try to remain free of panic andd

36、epression. Panic can constrict the blood vessels and impose an additional burden on theheart. Depression, as medical researchers all the way back to Galen have observed, can set thestage for other illnesses or intensify existing ones. Is is no surprise that so many patients wholearn that they have c

37、ancer or heart disease-or any other catastrophic disease-becomeworse at the time of diagnosis. the moment they have a label to attach to their symptoms, theillness deepens. All the terrible things they have heard about disease produce the kind ofdespair that in turn complicates the underlying condit

38、ion. It is not unnatural to severelyapprehensive about a serious diagnosis, but a reasonable confidence is justified. Cancertoday, for example, is largely a treatable disease. A heavily damaged heart can bereconditioned. Even a positive HIV diagnosis does not necessarily mean that the illness will m

39、oveinto the active stage. 没有一个人能活着离开这个世界，极少有人一生—世没生过一次重病。假如医生诊断说你得了重病，力戒恐慌和懊丧是大有好处的。恐慌会使血管收缩，增加心脏负担。而懊丧，正如自占希腊名医盖伦以来的医学专家们所指出的.可诱发其他疾病或家中目前的疾病，难怪很多患者一听说自己得了癌症或心脏病—或其他什么灾难性疾病，病症马上就会恶化。一旦给自己的各种症状贴上某种标签，病情便随他们想起听到过的有关疾病的种种可怕的事情，感到无望，而这反过来又使病情愈发严峻。诊断得了重病，忧心忡忡，本属合情合理，但也应保持肯定的信念。例如，癌症现在已基本上是一种

40、可治之 症。严峻受损的心脏也可以重新修复。即使诊断出HIV呈阳性。也不肯定就意味着疾病会进入活跃期。 One of the interesting things researchers at the UCLA medical center have discovered is thatthe enviroment of medical treatment can actually be enhanced if seriously ill patients can be keptfree of depression. In a project involving 75 malignantmela

41、noma patients, it was learned that adirect the connection exists between the mental state of the patient and the ability of theimmuse system to do its job. In a condition of emotional devastation, immune function isimpaired. Conversely, liberation from depression and panic is frequently accompanied

42、by a anincrease in the body's interleukins, vital substances in the immune system that help activatecancer-killing immune cells. The wise physician, therefore, is conscious of both the physicaland emotional needs of the patient. 加利福尼亚高校洛杉矶分校医学中心的探讨人员有一个好玩的发 那就：让重病患者摆脱懊丧心情，事实上就能使医疗环境得以改善。一项包括75名恶

43、性黑瘤患者的探讨显示，病人的心理状态和免疫功能之间存在干脆联系。在心情非常恶劣的状况下，免疫系统也会受损。相反，摆脱了懊丧和恐慌，经常会使得体内白细胞间素增多，而这种物质在免疫系统中至关重要，它有助于激活克癌免疫细胞。因此明智的医生对病人的身体和心理需求都会加以重视。 People who have heart attacks are especially prone to despair. After they come through theemergency phase of the episode, they begin to reflect on all the things the

44、y think they will beunable to do. They wonder whether they will be able to continue at their jobs, whether they willbe able to perform satisfactorily at sex, whether they can play tennis or golf again. In short,they contemplate an existence drained of usefulness and joy. The spark goes out of theirs

45、ouls. It may help for these people to know that in addition to miracles that modern medicinecan perform, the heart can make its own bypass around the occluded arterirs and thatcollateral circulation can provide a rich supply of oxygen. A heart attack need not bereggarded as consignment to a mincing

46、life-style. Under circumstances of good nutrition, areasonable amount of exercise and a decrease in the wear and tear of stressful events, lifeexpectancy need not be curtailed. 心脏病患者尤其简单心情懊丧。闯过急救阶段以后，他们便起先思索全部那些他们认为自己再也不能做的事情。他们担忧是否还能接着工怍，是否还能正常发挥性功能，是否还能打网球或高尔夫球。总之，他们臆想出一种没有一点奉献和换了的生活。他们灵魂中的火花熄灭了。

47、让这些人了解下事实将是有益的：一方面现代医学能创建奇迹，另一方面，心脏本身也可以使血液绕过堵塞的动脉，而这种旁侧循环同样可供应足够的氧气。无须认为患上心脏病就意味着要战战兢兢地生活，只要养分良好，适当运动，削减重大事务对自己的压力，寿命就未必会缩短。 Plainly, the American people need to be re-educated about their health. They need to know thatthey are the possessors of a remarkably robust mechanism. They need to be de-int

48、imidatedabout disease. They need to understand the concept of a patient-physician partnership inwhich the best that medical science has to offer is combined with the magnificent resources ofmind and body. 明显，美过人须要接受一次健康问题的再教化。他们应当知道，自己拥有非常强健的肌体，不必为疾病所吓倒。他们须要理解这样一个概念：患者和医生要建立一种伙伴关系。这样，医学可供应的最佳治疗就能与患者身体和心理的奇异功能结合起来。 We need not wait, of course, for a catastrophic illness before we develop confidence in ourability to r
