2、o 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 tw
3、enty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the 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
4、 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
5、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 t
6、he 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,
7、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 with he proceeded to read to the prisoner. 【课文翻译】 有些剧目非常胜利，以致连续上演好几年。这样一来，可怜的演员们可倒霉了。因为他们须要一夜
8、连着一夜地重复同样的台词。人们以为，这些演员肯定会把台词背得烂熟，绝不会临场结巴的，但状况却并不总是这样。 有一位名演员曾在一出极为胜利的剧目中扮演一个贵族角色，这个贵族已在巴士底狱被关押了20年。在最终一幕中，狱卒手持一封信上场，然后将信交给狱中那位贵族。尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念一遍那封信。但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在信纸上。 一天晚上，狱卒确定与他的同事开一个玩笑，看看他反复演出这么多场之后，是否已将信的内容记熟了。大幕拉开，最终一幕戏开演，贵族独自一人坐在铁窗后阴暗的牢房里。这时狱卒上场，手里拿着那封宝贵的信。狱卒走进牢房，将信交给贵族。但这回狱卒给贵族的信没有像平常那样把全文写全，而
9、是一张白纸。狱卒热切地视察着，急于想了解他的同事是否记熟了台词。贵族盯着纸看了几秒钟，然后，眼珠一转，说道：“光线太暗，请给我读一下这封信。”说完，他一下子把信递给狱卒。狱卒发觉自己连一个字也记不住，于是便说：“陛下，这儿光线的确太暗了，我得去眼镜拿来。”他一边说着，一边匆忙下台。贵族感到特别好笑的是：一会儿工夫，狱卒重新登台，拿来一副眼镜以及平常运用的那封信，然后为那囚犯念了起来。 【生词和短语】 boxing n. 拳击 run v.(戏剧，电影等)连演，连映 lines n.(剧本中的)台词 part n. 剧中的角色，台词 falter v. 支吾，结巴说 cast v. 连派扮演角色

11、ide 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
12、 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
13、 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 snai
14、ls 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
15、 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 the hall 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 st
16、ay 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 l
17、ook at a snail since then. 【课文翻译】 在确定什么能吃而什么不能吃的时候，人们往往变得不合情理。比如，假如你住在地中海地区，你会把章鱼视作是美味佳肴，同时不能理解为什么有人一见章鱼就恶心。另一方面，你一想到动物油炸土豆就会反胃，但这在北方很多国家却是一种一般的烹任方法。不无缺憾的是，我们中的大部分人，生来就只吃某几种食品，而且一辈子都这样。 没有一种生物所受到的赞美和厌恶会超过花园里常见的蜗牛了。蜗牛加酒烧煮后，便成了世界上很多地方的一道珍奇的名菜。有不计其数的人们从小就知道蜗牛可做菜。但我的挚友罗伯特却住在一个厌恶蜗牛的国家中。他住在大城市里的一所公寓里，没有自己
18、的花园。多年来，他始终让我把我园子里的蜗牛收集起来给他捎去。一起先，他的这一想法没有引起我多大爱好。后来有一天，一场大雨后，我在花园里漫无目的漫步，突然留意到许很多多蜗牛在我的一些心爱的花木上慢悠悠的蠕动着。我一时冲动，逮了几十只，装进一只纸袋里，带着去找罗伯特。罗伯特见到我很兴奋，对我的薄礼也感到满足。我把纸袋放在门厅里，与罗伯特一起进了起居室，在那里聊了好几个钟头。我把蜗牛的事已忘得一尘不染，罗伯特突然提出肯定要我留下来吃晚饭，这才提示了我。蜗牛当然是道主菜。我并不喜爱这个办法，所以我牵强跟着罗伯特走进了起居室。使我们惊愕的是门厅里到处爬满了蜗牛：它们从纸袋里逃了出来，爬得满厅都是!从那以
19、后，我再也不能看一眼蜗牛了。 【生词和短语】 poison n. 毒药 illogical adj. 不合逻辑的 octopus n. 章鱼 delicacy n. 佳肴 repulsive adj. 令人反感的 stomach n. 胃 turn v. 翻胃 fry v. 油炸 fat n.

20、 v. 宠爱 新概念英语第三册课文翻译及词汇Lesson24 【课文】 We often read in novels how a seemingly respectable person or family has some terrible secret which has been concealed from strangers for years. The English language possesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terrible secret is called "a
21、 skeleton in the cupboard". At some dramatic moment in the story, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. The readers hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine, a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her yo
22、uth, poisoned every one of her five husbands. It is all very well for such things to occur in fiction. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of us have skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboa
23、rd is George Carlton, and he is very proud of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth. Instead of becoming a doctor, however, he became a successful writer of detective stories. I once spent an uncomfortable weekend which I shall never forget at his house. George showed me to the guestroom wh
24、ich, he said, was rarely used. He told me to unpack my things and then come down to dinner. After I had stacked my shirts and underclothes in two empty drawers, I decided to hang one of the two suits I had brought with me in the cupboard. I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of it petr
25、ified. A skeleton was dangling before my eyes. The sudden movement of the door make it sway slightly and it gave me the impression that it was about to leap out at me. Dropping my suit, I dashed downstairs to tell George. This was worse thana terrible secret; this was a real skeleton! But George was
26、 unsympathetic. Oh, that,he said with a smile as if he were talking about an old friend. Thats Sebastian. You forget that I was a medical student once upon a time. 【课文翻译】 在小说中，我们常常读到一个表面上受人敬重的人物或家庭，却有着某种多年不为人所知的骇人听闻的隐私。英语中有一个生动的说法来形容这种状况。惊人的隐私称作 “柜中骷髅 ”。在小说的某个戏剧性时刻，可怕的隐私泄漏出来，接着便是某人的声誉扫地。当读者到小说最终几页了解
27、到书中女主子公，那位一向待大家很好的可爱的老妇人年轻时一连毒死了她的 5个丈夫时，不禁会毛骨悚然。 这种事发生在小说中是无可非议的。尽管我们人人都有各种大小隐私。连最密切的挚友都不愿让他们知道，但我们当中极少有人有柜中骷髅。我所相识的的在柜中藏骷嵝的人便是乔治 .卡尔顿，他甚至引以为骄傲。乔治年轻时学过医，然而，他后来没当上医生，却成了一位胜利的侦探小说作家。有一次，我在他家里度周末，过得很不开心。这事我恒久不会遗忘。乔治把我领进客房，说这间很少运用。他让我打开行装后下楼吃饭。我将衬衫、内衣放进两个空抽屉里，然后我想把随身带来的两套西服中的一套挂到外套柜里去。我打开柜门，站在柜门前一下惊呆了。
28、一具骷髅悬挂在眼前，由于柜门突然打开，它也随之稍微摇摆起来，让我觉得它似乎立刻要跳出柜门朝我扑过来似的。我扔下西服冲下楼去告知乔治。这是比 “骇人听闻的隐私 ”更加惊人的东西，这是一具真正的骷髅啊!但乔治却麻木不仁。 “噢，是它呀!他笑着说道，俨然在谈论一位老挚友。 “那是塞巴斯蒂安。你忘了我以前是学医的了。” 【生词和短语】 skeleton n. 骷髅 seemingly adv. 表面上地 respectable adj. 受人敬重的 conceal v. 隐藏 vivid adj. 生动的 dramatic adj. 扣人心弦的 ruin v. 毁坏(名誉等)，使破产 heroine
29、n. 女主子公 fiction n. 小说 varying adj. 不同的 medicine n. 医学 guestroom n. 客房 unpack v. 取出 stack v.(整齐地)堆放 underclothes n. 内衣 drawer n. 抽屉 petrify v. 使惊呆 dangle v. 悬挂 sway v. 摇摆 unsympathetic adj. 麻木不仁的 medical adj. 医学的 新概念英语第三册课文翻译及词汇Lesson25 【课文】 One of the most famous sailing ships of the nineteenth cent
30、ury, the Cutty Sark, can still be seen at Greenwich. She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past. Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from C
31、hina and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four months
32、, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era. The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. It seemed certain that she would be t
33、he first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck. In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. A temporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was f
34、itted with great difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was a danger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fi
35、tted, but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. There is
36、no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily. 【课文翻译】 人们在格林威治仍可看到19世纪最出名的帆船之一“卡蒂萨克”号。它停在陆地上，每年接待成千上万的参观者。它给人们留下深刻的印象，使人们回忆起历的巨型帆船，在蒸汽船取代帆船之前。“卡蒂萨克”号之类的帆船被用来从中国运回茶叶，从澳大利亚运回羊毛。 “卡蒂萨克”号是帆船制造建立的最快的一艘帆船。可以与之一比凹凸的是“塞姆皮雷”号帆船。 两船于1872年 6月18日同时从上海启航驶往英国，途中绽开了一场激烈的竞赛。这场竞赛持续了整
37、整4个月，是这类竞赛中的最终一次，它标记着帆船宏大传统的结束与一个新纪元的起先。竞赛起先后，“赛姆皮雷”号领先抵达爪哇岛。但在印度洋上，“卡萨萨克”号驶到了前面。看来，它首先返抵英国是确信无疑的了，但它却在竞赛中连遭厄运。8月份“卡蒂萨克”号遭到一场特大风暴的攻击，失去了一只舵。船身左右摇摆，无法操纵。船员用备用的木板在船上赶制了一只应急用的舵，并克服重重困难将舵安装就位，这样一来，大大降低了船的航速。因为船不能开得太快，否则就有危急，应急舵也会被刮走。因为这个原因,“卡蒂萨克”号落到了后面。跨越赤道后，船长将船停靠在一个港口，在那儿换了一只舵。但此时，“赛姆皮雷”号早已在500多英里之遥了。
38、尽管换装新舵时分秒必争，但“卡蒂萨克”号已经不行能取胜了，它抵达英国时比 “塞姆皮雷”号晚了1个星期。但考虑到路上的多次耽搁，这个成果也已很不简单了。毫无疑问，假如中途没有失去舵，“卡帝萨克 ”号确定能在竞赛中轻易夺冠。 【生词和短语】 impressive adj. 给人深刻印象的 steamship n. 蒸汽轮船 vessel n. 大木船 era n. 时期，时代 rudder n. 舵 roll v. 颠簸，摇摆 steer v. 驾驭方向 temporary adj. 临时的 plank n. 大块木板 fit v. 安装 Equator n. 赤道 delay n. 耽搁 新概念
39、英语第三册课文翻译及词汇Lesson26 【课文】 No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we wants, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertis
40、ers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses. Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with the magic word free can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free sample
41、s, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way. During a radio programme,
42、 a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the
43、factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighted nearly 500 pounds. A little later, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win
44、the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1,000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredie
45、nts. It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry. The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated. For they bought the biscuit from the student for $24,000. 【课文翻译】 没有人能避开受广告的影响。尽管我们可以自夸自己的鉴赏力如何敏锐，但我们已经无法独立自主地选购自己所需的东西了。这是因为广告在我们身上施加着一种潜移默化的影响。做广告的人在力图劝告我
46、们买下这种产品或那种产品之前，已经细致地探讨了人的本性，并把人的弱点进行了分类。 做广告的人们多年前就发觉我们大家都喜爱免费得到东西。凡是用“免费”这个奇妙的词开头的广告很少会失败的。目前，做广告的人不仅供应免费样品，而且还供应免费汽车，免费住房，免费周游世界。他们设计数以百计的竞赛，竞赛中有人可赢得巨额奖金。之声、电视使做广告的人可以用这种手段吸引成百万人的留意力。 有一次，在之声播放的节目里，一个生产饼干的公司请听众烘制饼干送到他们的工厂去。他们情愿以每磅10美元的价钱买下由听众烘制的的饼干。这次竞赛在听众中引起极其热情的反响。不久，形态各异，大小不一的饼干接连送到工厂。一位女士用手推车运
47、来一个饼干，重达 500磅左右。相隔不一会儿，一个男子也带来一个大饼干，那个饼干把汽车的行李箱挤得满满的。凡送来的饼干都细致地称量。最重的一个达 713磅，看来这个饼干获奖无疑了。但就在竞赛截止时间将到之际，一辆卡车驶进了工厂，运来了一个特大无比、重达2,400磅的饼干。它是由一个高校生烘制的，用去1,000多磅的面粉、800磅食糖、200磅动物脂肪及 400磅其他各种原料。饼干份量太重了，用了一台起重机才把它从卡车上卸下。饼干公司不得不付出比他们预料多得多的钱，因为为买下那学生烘制的饼干他们支付了24,000美元。 【生词和短语】 influence n. 影响 pride n. 傲慢 taste n. 鉴赏力 exert v. 施加 subtle adj. 微妙的 advertiser n. 广告人 classify v. 分类 magic adj. 有奇异作用的 sample n. 样品
