期末复习翻译English to Chinese英译汉Unit 1A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kids tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?Ive tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence is a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法,即认为他 们的老师当年都是些神童。不管怎么说,除了不像一般 孩子那样生性贪玩、不愿学习的书呆子之外,还有谁愿 意长大后当老师呢?我竭力向我的学生们解释我在他们心目中的形象 一个在青春期热衷于书本和作业的人 有一点被扭曲 了。相反,我极为憎恨义务教育。 我永远都无法接受在 鱼儿上钩时不得不去上学的想法。Unit 2Children Children are are entitled entitled to to special special consideration consideration for for two two reasons: reasons: helplessness helplessness and and innocence. innocence. They They have have not not yet yet acquired acquired either either the the facultyfaculty of of reason reason or or the the wisdom wisdom of of experience. experience. Consequently, Consequently, they they are are defenseless defenseless (incapable (incapable of of fending fending for for themselves) themselves) and and blameless blameless (incapable (incapable of of real real sin). sin). Thats Thats why why we we grant grant them them special special protection. protection. In In an an emergency, emergency, it it is is our our duty duty to to save save them them first first because because they, they, helpless, helpless, have have put put their their lives lives in in our our handshands. . And And in in wartime, wartime, they they are are supposed supposed to to be be protected protected by by special special immunityimmunity because because they they can can have have threatenedthreatened or offended no one. or offended no one. 孩子们之所以有权享受特殊照顾有两个 理由:无助和无辜。他们还没有具备推 理的能力或来自经验的智慧。因此,他 们不能自卫(不能照料自己),无可指 责(不可能真正犯罪)。这就是我们给 予他们特殊保护的原因。在紧急情况下 ,我们有责任先救他们,因为孤弱无助 的他们已经将生命交付与我们手中。在 战时,他们应该受到特殊豁免权的保护 ,因为他们不可能会威胁或冒犯到任何 人。Unit 3I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.我真诚地相信,对于孩子们来说,对于想要指导他们的父母们来说,感受比知道要重要得多。如果事实是 以后能长出知识与智慧的种子,那么情感和感官印象则 是种子必须赖以生长的沃土。幼儿时期就是培育土壤的 时候。Unit 3Once the emotions have been aroused a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information. It is more important to pave the way for childrens desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate. 一旦情感被激起一种对美的感受,对新的和未知事物的激动 ,一种同情、怜悯、敬慕或爱恋的感觉我们就会渴望了解引起我们情感反应的事物。一旦找到,这种知识就比纯粹的信息具有 持久得多的意义。为孩子们的求知欲铺平道路比向他们灌输一堆 他们不准备吸收的事实更为重要。What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the worldeducational as victory and is not the end of the world. .我希望于所有的学生是从未来的严酷无情中得到一些解脱。我希望他们 有机会把他们每一阶段的教育纯粹作为一种经历来享受,而不是作为一 种为下一步做准备的令人厌倦的需要。我希望他们有权利试验、跌跤, 并懂得失败如同胜利一样具有教育意义,失败并不是世界的末日。Unit 4My My wish, wish, of of course, course, is is naive. naive.
