1、-牛津高中英语模块1课文翻译-第 9 页牛津高中英语课文翻译牛津高中英语模块1课文翻译Unit 1 School life in the UK英国校园生活Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. This means I co
2、uld get up an hour later than usual, as school in China begin before 8 a.m. 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我很满意英国的上学时间，因为那里是大约9点开始上学，下午3：30放学，这意味着我可以比平常晚起床一个小时，因为在中国8点之前就开始上课了。On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana.
3、 We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China. 在第一天，所有新生在学校礼堂集合，我坐在一个叫做戴安娜的女孩旁边，我们很快就成为了好朋友。在集合期
4、间，校长告诉我们关于学校的规章制度，他还告诉我们，在学校要想赢得别人的尊重，最好的方法就是努力学习，取得高分，这一点听起来跟中国的学校差不多。I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about
5、 the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.在过去的一年里，我有很多的老师，黑伍德先生，也就是我的班主任，对我很有帮助；我最喜欢的老师是伯尔克小姐，我喜欢她教的英国文学课。在我们班有28个同学，这差不多是英国学校的平均
6、班额。我们在不同的教室上不同的课，上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有人的面孔和名字是一件难事。I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I e
7、njoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可是一开始我还是觉得有点挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英文的。让我感到幸运的是，所有老师都给了我极大的鼓励，也喜欢所学的科目：英语、历史、英国文学，计算机，数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。My English improved a lot, as I used English every day
8、 and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prep
9、are and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made. 我的英语提高了很多，因为我每天都使用英语而且我每天花一小时在图书馆看英语书，我经常在中午休息的时候去计算机俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内你的家人和朋友发邮件了。我还在每周二的晚上有一节法语课，烹饪课也很有趣，因为我可以学到如何购买、准备和烹饪食物，在学期末，我们有举行班级聚
10、会，我们都需要做一些食物，让我很高兴的是我同学都很喜欢我做的蛋糕。Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or languages such as Spanish and German. In
11、the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.那里的学生必须要学数学、英语和科学，但是可以不学一些他们不喜欢的科目，例如历史和法语。他们可以选择像艺术和计算机技术等课程，或者像西班牙语和德语等语言类课程。在我修的艺术课上，我做了一个雕塑，尽管它完成时看起来不是很漂亮，但我仍然很喜欢它。I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. Br
12、itish food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.在吃中餐的时候，我就很想念中国菜；应该食物很不一样，英国人在他们的正餐后喜欢吃甜点。中餐后，我们经常在
13、学校的操场上玩耍，有时我和男孩子们一起踢足球，有时，我就在树下或坐在草地上放松一下。I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again. 我很庆幸体验到这种不同的生活方式，回顾我在英国度过的时光，我感到很满意，我也很希望再回到曼彻斯特学习。Project 我们学校有一个广播俱乐部。这个俱乐部的非常之处在于它是由
14、学生们自己为学校创办的。我很幸运地成了其中的一名主持人。 广播俱乐部是两年前创立的。有一天，我萌发了为大家播放音乐的念头，于是我就问校长能否在休息时间给同学们播放音乐，校长同意了。两年后，我作为元老负责校广播俱乐部的工作。我们的俱乐部现在不只是播放音乐。每天早上我们向同学们播报天气情况和时事新闻，还有老师们要我们播出的一些特别告示。 到了考试的时候我们就会做一档特别节目，告诉学生们复习迎考的注意事项。每当学年结束的时候，许多即将毕业离校的学生就会借助我们的广播俱乐部向他们的好友和老师留下毕业致辞。 每逢家长来访、与老师交谈的时候，我们常常播放一些由学生们自己演唱的歌曲。我们还会广播一些通知，告
15、诉家长们有关诸如远足、校内戏剧表演之类的活动讯息： 毕业后，我会想念广播俱乐部的，但我知道，没有我，它还会继续办下去的。（凯特琼斯） 我们的校内俱乐部“下一代诗人”是由我们的英语老师欧文先生发起的一个文学俱乐部。每个月的最后一个星期五我们会聚在一起讨论喜爱的诗歌和诗人。聚会的时候，我们首先挑选出我们喜爱的诗歌，然后朗诵这些诗歌。我们还在聚会时讨论诗歌。 我第一次参加聚会的时候，被要求写一首诗，还得当着俱乐部成员的面进行朗诵。起初我觉得有些紧张，但所有的成员都是那么亲切、支好，我很快就不担心了。有一次，我在学校花园里朗诵了一首表现大自然的诗歌。朗诵前我选择了一棵老树，把大家都聚集在树下。俱乐部成

27、有时间打扫房子可是，不，埃里克，为什么他们不问问我到底发生了什么事就对我大喊大叫呢？Act Two, Scene Two第二幕，第二场Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel?

Day by day, everything seems dif
29、ferent, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control. Has anyone else ever felt this way? 很多青少年感到孤独，好像没有人理解他们以及他们正在经历的变化。日子一天天过去，而所有事情似乎都是不同的，可又都是一成不变的。生活似乎从不过得足够快；而从别的方面看，生活似乎过得太快甚至于失控，像开
30、赛车一样。别的人也有过同感么？These feelings are a common part of adolescence the time of life between child and adult. And, though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone every adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you. It is common for
31、teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing pains the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults. 这些感觉是青春期介于孩童和成人之间的人生阶段的正常组成部分。而且，虽然有时难以相信，并非只有你才是这样每一个成年人都经历过青春期，而你的朋友和你一样正经历这个阶段。对青少年而言，感到孤独和被误解是很普遍的。这些情感可以看作是成长的烦恼是青少年迈向成年时所面对的困难。As teenagers
32、 grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments. 在青少年成长的时候，对自己无论体内还是体外的状态变化感到困惑对他们而言是正常现象。在青春期，青少年经历着身
33、体上的巨大变化。他们个子长高，声音变低，还有很多其他的成长发育。Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers they want to find their own limits and the limits of the world around them, but may not have the wisdom to make g
34、ood choices in their behavior. At the same time, girls often want someone anyone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings. 与这些生理变化同时而来的，还有很多心理上的变化。男孩和女孩在这方面往往有所不同。很多男孩成为危险尝试者他们希望找到自己的局限和他们周边世界的局限，但也许并不具有对其行为作出正确抉择的智慧。而与此同时，女孩则通常需要和某个人或任何人进行交谈，因为她们试图面对自己强烈的情感。In the social world, as
35、 teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group, yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in
36、society. 在大千社会中，随着青少年长大，他们努力地自力更生。他们或许迫切需要父母的关爱，却又感觉疏远；他们或许想要成为团体的一员，但又渴望独立。正因为青少年们在平衡这些需要时有困难，所以他们经常质疑自己到底是谁以及怎样融入社会。The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the end everything turns out OK the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenging is
37、traded for the changes and challenges of grown-up life. 好在这些成长的烦恼并不会持久。最终一切都会好起来一青少年成长为健康的成年人，而青春期的变化和挑战则转变为成人生活中的种种变化和挑战。Unit 3ReadingDying to be thin 想瘦身想得快死了Hi Zhou Ling嗨，周玲：How are you?

I know another way to stay slim. 你现在还是每天去健身房吗？我以前常去健身房，一周三次，可我现在不再锻炼了。我有了另外一种保持苗条身材的方法。Looking good is important to women, isnt it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. Im try
39、ing to lose weight because Im ashamed of my body. 显得美丽对女性来说很重要，难道不是吗？如今，大部分年轻女性都想拥有苗条的身材，在加拿大这里尤其是这样。我目前在努力减肥，因为我的体形让我觉得非常羞愧。Since Im preparing to act in a new TV show, Im taking weight-loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here.由于我正准备出演一部新的电视剧，所以我在服用一种名叫Fat-Less的减肥药片
40、，这种药片很受加拿大年轻女性的欢迎。I hope to lose at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and dont need to exercise.我希望能够至少减去1 0公斤。我每天服用两片，因而也就不用锻炼了。The pills really work! Im becoming slimmer and slimmer. Ive lost 7 kilograms in the last two months. However, sometimes I dont feel so energetic. 减肥药片还真的管用哦！我现在可是

She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment. 我妈妈（你去年见过她的）一直告诫我不要服用减肥药片，因为减肥药危及健康。她说，健康是最重要的，我同意这个观点，可是我现在看上去多么苗条。Write

My mother is right: dont damage your health for a slim and attractive figur
45、e. It isnt worth it. We shouldnt be ashamed of the way we look, should we?人们应该照顾好自己的身体。我妈妈是对的：不要为了苗条、动人的身材毁了自己的健康，那样做是得不偿失的。我们不应该为自己的外表感到羞愧，不是吗？ I hope to hear from you soon. 我希望能够早点儿收到你的回信。Love Amy爱你的埃米Dear Amy亲爱的埃米：My computer was broken so I couldnt read your two e-mails until today.

47、y slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health. 你说得对，我们不应该因为自己的体重感到难为情。我觉得你目前这个样子看上去就很棒，而且你是一个非常优秀的人。我知道，保持身材苗条的压力是问题的症结所在，对一个女演员来说尤其是这样。但是，你妈妈她最清楚不过：没有什么比健康更重要。Its the same in China many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story. 在中国也是一样许多人总是节食或者吃减肥药（他们有些人根本一点也不胖），其实这是很危险的。我希望他们能从你的故事中有所收获。Love Zhou Ling爱你的周玲
