SATISFACTION GUARANTEED(Adapted) 
保证满意(改编) 
  
Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun 
experimenting with a 
household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife,Claire. 
  
拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家制造机器人的公司工作。最近,它开始试验家用机器人。拉里的
妻子克
莱尔要测试一下。 
  
Claire didn’t want the robot in her house,especially as her husband would be away on 
a business trip 
for three weeks,but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow 
her to be harmed. 
It would be a bonus. However,when she first saw the robot,she felt alarmed. His 
name was Tony. 
He seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth 
hair and a 
deep voice,although his facial expression never changed. 
  
克莱尔不想把机器人放在家里,尤其是她的丈夫要出差三个星期,但拉里说服她,机
器人不会
伤害她,也不会让她受到伤害。这将是一个奖金。然而,当她第一次看到机器人时,
她感到惊
慌失措。他叫托尼。他看起来更像一个人而不是一台机器。他高大英俊,头发光滑,
声音低沉,
尽管他的面部表情从未改变。 
  
On the second morning,Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she 
needed help 
dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. Now she was being looked 
after by a 
robot that looked so human,and it was disturbing. 
  
第二天早上,托尼给她送来早餐,然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣。她觉得很尴尬,赶紧
叫他走。
现在她被一个看起来像人类的机器人照顾着,这让人很不安。 
  
One day,Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she 
must feel very 
unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous that she was being offered 
sympathy by a robot, 
but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him. He always 
treated her 
with dignity. She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasn’t elegant enough 
for Larry,who 
wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary. She wasn’t like Gladys 
Claffern,one of 
the richest and most powerful women around. 
  
有一天,克莱尔说她认为自己不聪明。托尼说她说这话一定很不高兴。克莱尔认为机
器人给她
同情是可笑的,但她逐渐钦佩他的智慧和正直,开始信任他。他总是对她很有尊严。
她告诉拉
里,她对自己的家不够优雅感到非常不满,拉里想用更高的薪水来提高自己的社会地
位。她不
像格拉迪斯·克拉芬,她是世界上最富有、最有权势的女人之一。 
  
As a favour,Tony promised to help Claire make herself more beautiful and her home 
more elegant. 
So Claire borrowed some library books for him to read,or rather,scan. She looked at 
his fingers with
  
1
  
wonder as they turned each page. How absurd,she thought. He was just a machine. 
  
作为帮助,托尼答应帮助克莱尔使自己更漂亮,使她的家更优雅。所以克莱尔借了一
些图书馆
的书给他看,或者更确切地说,扫描。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻着每一页。多么荒谬,
她想。
他只是一台机器。 
  
Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle and improved her makeup. As he was not allowed to 
accompany 
her to the shops,he wrote out a list of things that he would need for his work on the house. 
Claire 
went downtown and bought these things. She had an appointment to paint her nails,then she 
went 
into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswoman there was rude to her,so she rang Tony and 
told him 
she was being treated badly. He spoke to the woman,who immediately changed her attitude. 
Claire 
thanked Tony,telling him that he was a“dear”. As she turned around,there stood Gladys 
Claffern. 
How awful to be discovered by her,Claire thought. By the look on her face,Claire knew 
that Gladys 
thought they were in a relationship. After all,she knew Claire’s husband’s name was 
Larry,not Tony. 
Although it was completely innocent,Claire felt guilty. 
  
托尼给克莱尔换了一个新发型,改善了她的妆容。由于不允许他陪她去商店,他写了
一张他在
房子里工作所需物品的清单。克莱尔去市区买了这些东西。她约好涂指甲,然后走进
一家昂贵
的服装店。那里的女售货员对她很粗鲁,所以她打电话给托尼,告诉他她受到了不好
的待遇。
他和那个女人说话,她立刻改变了态度。克莱尔感谢托尼,告诉他他是个“亲爱的”。
她转过身
来,格拉迪斯·克拉芬站在那里。克莱尔想,被她发现是多么可怕。从她脸上的表情来
看,克
莱尔知道格拉迪斯以为他们在谈恋爱。毕竟,她知道克莱尔的丈夫叫拉里,不是托尼。
虽然完
全是无辜的,克莱尔还是感到内疚。 
  
When Claire got home,she wept. Gladys was everything Claire wished to be. Tony told her 
she was 
being sensitive and was just as good as Gladys. He suggested that she invite Gladys and her 
friends 
to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time,Tony 
expected 
that the house,which was being completely transformed,would be ready. 
  
克莱尔到家时哭了。格拉迪斯是克莱尔想要的一切。托尼告诉她她很敏感,和格拉迪
斯一样好。
他建议她在他离开拉里回来的前一天晚上邀请格拉迪斯和她的朋友到家里来。到那时,
托尼预
计正在完全改造的房子已经准备好了。 
  
Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help by working on a light 
suspended 
from the ceiling,but she fell off the ladder. Even though Tony had been in the next room,
he 
managed to catch her in time. As he held her,she felt the warmth of his body. She 
screamed,pushed 
him away,and ran to her room. 
  
托尼在不断改进。克莱尔试图帮忙,在天花板上吊着一盏灯,但她从梯子上摔了下来。
尽管托
尼在隔壁房间,他还是及时抓住了她。当他抱着她时,她感到了他身体的温暖。她尖
叫着,把
他推开,跑回了自己的房间。 
  
The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon,so 
Claire 
dismissed Tony for the rest of the night. At that moment,Tony took her in his arms,
bringing his face
  
2
  
close to hers. She heard him declare that he did not want to leave her the next day,and that 
he felt 
more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. 
  
晚会的晚上到了。钟敲了八下。客人很快就要到了,所以克莱尔把托尼打发走了。就
在那一刻,
托尼把她抱在怀里,把脸贴近她的脸。她听到他宣布他不想第二天离开她,他不仅仅
是想取悦
她。然后前门的门铃响了。 
 
  
UNIT 1 Using Language
THE TIME MACHINE(Adapted) 
时光机(改编) 
  
It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last 
check,
and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an 
inch then 
immediately backwards again. Looking around,I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had 
anything 
happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before,it 
was a 
minute or so past ten;now it was nearly half past three! 
  
今天十点钟,第一台时间机器开始了它的事业。我给了它最后一张支票,自己坐在真
皮座椅上。
我将主面板上的启动杆向前推了一英寸,然后又立即向后推。环顾四周,我看到我的
实验室和
以前一模一样。发生什么事了吗?我以为我的思想欺骗了我。然后我看到了钟。刚才
是十点一
分左右,现在快三点半了! 
  
I drew a breath,gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around 
me. My 
niece came in to fetch something,maybe her handkerchief,apparently without seeing me. 
It probably 
took her a minute,but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came 
as if a 
lamp was being turned out,and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came,
then 
skipped to day,again and again,faster and faster still. 
  
我吸了一口气,握紧杠杆,把它往前推。实验室在我周围变得模糊不清。我侄女进来
拿东西,
也许是她的手帕,显然没有看见我。她可能花了一分钟,但对我来说她像火箭一样移
动!我把
操纵杆推得更远。夜幕降临,仿佛一盏灯熄灭了,又过了一会儿,白昼降临了。明晚
来了,又
跳到白天,一次又一次,越来越快。 
  
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was 
being 
driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster,the walls of the laboratory fell 
away,and I 
was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the 
sky,but 
soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of 
smoke;
they grew,spread,and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up,then disappear like 
in a dream. 
The whole surface of the earth was being changed,melting and flowing before my eyes. I 
calculated 
that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute. 
  
很难解释时间旅行的奇怪和不愉快的感觉。感觉我在一条蜿蜒的路上开得很快。随着
我的步子
加快,实验室的墙壁也倒塌了,我被留在了户外。太阳和月亮看起来像是被抛向天空,
但很快
  
3
  
就有了白天和黑夜的分界。在我周围,我看到树木像一股烟一样生长;它们生长,蔓
延,瞬间
死亡。我看见巨大的建筑物拔地而起,然后像梦一样消失了。整个地球表面都在改变,
在我眼
前融化流动。我算了一下,我是以每分钟几百年的速度被时间推过去的。 
  
I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had 
thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at 
maximum 
speed,it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by 
something else,
we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool,I pulled the 
lever 
backwards hard. With a sudden jolt,the Time Machine was flipped on its side,and I was 
thrown 
through the air. 
  
我有一种强烈的冲动,想看看眼前闪现的那些随机的东西!我曾多次考虑过停止时光
机的风险。
只要我以最快的速度行驶,那没关系。但是如果我停下来,同一个空间被别的东西占
据了,我
们就会被迫在一起,像炸弹一样爆炸!像一个不耐烦的傻瓜,我使劲向后拉操纵杆。
随着一个
突然的震动,时间机器被翻转过来,我被抛向空中。 
  
I was stunned for a moment,and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in 
some 
mud next to the machine.“A fine welcome,”I said,“for a man who has travelled thousands 
of years 
to be here!” 
  
我惊呆了一会儿,然后听到了雷声。我在雨中坐在机器旁边的泥地里。“这是一个很好
的欢迎,”
我说,“对于一个旅行了几千年来到这里的人来说!” 
 
 
  
选修四UNIT 2  Iconic Attractions 
Reading and Thinking 
  
25 Sep   9 月25 日 
  
Next week I’m travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to 
keep 
this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some research on the 
country. Located to the south of the equator,below many other countries on the globe,it’s 
often 
informally referred to as“down under”. 
  
下周我要去澳大利亚,在学校放假期间去拜访一位朋友。我计划保留这个博客来记录
我的经历
和我学到的东西。我已经对这个国家做了一些研究。它位于赤道以南,低于地球上许
多其他国
家,通常被非正式地称为“down under”。 
  
I have also read about some iconic sites,such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great 
Ocean Road,
and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can’t wait to see all of them! However,as 
I major 
in social studies,I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their 
culture,
food,and way of life. 
  
  
4
  
我也读过一些标志性的景点,比如悉尼歌剧院和大洋路,还有可爱的考拉和袋鼠等动
物。我迫
不及待地想看到他们所有人!然而,由于我主修社会学,我更感兴趣的是会见澳大利
亚的人,
体验他们的文化、食物和生活方式。 
  
1 Oct10 月1 日 
  
I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived,my friend has brought me to my first open-air barbecue 
and has 
also shared many different but yummy meals with me,so my first impressions of Australia 
have been 
all about food! A lot of typical Australian food,such as the Sunday roast,is originally 
British. 
Bakeries,fast-food joints,butcher shops,cafes,and restaurants everywhere provide 
some of the 
premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures,on the other hand,
led to the 
introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs,along with Australian versions of foods like the 
Chinese-inspired dim sum. 
  
我在悉尼!自从我来到澳大利亚,我的朋友带我参加了我的第一次露天烧烤,还和我
分享了许
多不同但美味的饭菜,所以我对澳大利亚的第一印象都是关于食物的!许多典型的澳
大利亚食
物,如星期天烤肉,原来是英国的。世界各地的面包店、快餐店、肉店、咖啡馆和餐
馆都提供
了一些世界一流的美食体验。另一方面,亚洲文化的影响,导致豆腐和亚洲草药的引
入,以及
澳大利亚版本的食物,如中式点心。 
  
3 Oct10 月3 日 
  
My friend and I have arrived in Katherine,a town in Australia’s Northern Territory. We’re 
here to 
learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines,who are native to Australia. The 
Aboriginal 
population might be small,but its influence is still visible. For example,“Bondi” in “Bondi 
Beach” 
is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”. 
  
我和我的朋友已经到了凯瑟琳,澳大利亚北部地区的一个小镇。我们来这里是为了了
解澳大利
亚土著人的生活和习俗。土著人口可能很少,但其影响仍然显而易见。例如,“邦迪海
滩”中的
“邦迪”是一个土著词,意思是“水冲破岩石”。 
  
To survive in this vast land on the ocean,the Aborigines had to be in close contact with 
nature. This 
shows in their music,too,which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around 
them. 
Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground,among which 
there is an 
amazing instrument called the didgeridoo. 
  
为了在这片辽阔的海洋上生存,土著人必须与大自然保持密切的联系。这也体现在他
们的音乐
中,歌颂着他们周围的自然世界和精神世界。他们的大多数乐器实际上只是在地上发
现的棍子,
其中有一种叫迪吉里多的神奇乐器。 
  
The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow. To play the didgeridoo,you put 
your 
mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn,there are no finger 
holes. The 
didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch. A skilled 
player can 
play for a long time without stopping to breathe. He does this by continually breathing in 
through his
  
5
  
nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo. I tried to learn how to 
play it,
but after trying for hours,I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this 
instrument! 
  
迪吉里多是由一根中空的树枝做成的。演奏迪吉里多,你把你的嘴放在一端,一边吹
一边振动
你的嘴唇。不像喇叭,没有指孔。迪吉里多的球员必须改变他的嘴的形状才能改变球
场。一个
熟练的玩家可以玩很长时间而不停地呼吸。他这样做是通过不断地用鼻子吸气,同时
用嘴呼气,
进入迪吉里多。我试着学习如何演奏它,但经过几个小时的努力,我确信我永远不能
用这种乐
器发出音乐的声音! 
  
6 Oct 
  
10 月6 日 
  
It’s almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia. I’ve enjoyed my time here very much. 
After 
being here for a while,my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and 
cultures that 
make up the nation. Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western 
culture,
minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture,with 
many of the 
new cultural influences contributed by immigrants. It is said that now nearly half of all 
Australian 
citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas. 
  
我差不多该跟澳大利亚说再见了。我在这里过得很愉快。在这里呆了一段时间后,我
印象最深
的是组成这个国家的各种民族和文化的复杂混合。尽管自1788 年以来,主要的文化影
响是西
方文化,但少数民族文化也在形成独特的澳大利亚文化方面发挥了作用,许多新的文
化影响是
由移民造成的。据说现在几乎一半的澳大利亚公民不是出生在海外,就是父母出生在
海外。 
  
Personally speaking,what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. They have a 
straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life,and their friendliness and warmth 
made me 
feel at home wherever I went. 
  
就我个人而言,我最喜欢澳大利亚的是人民本身。他们对生活的态度直截了当、洒脱
自如,他
们的友好和热情让我无论走到哪里都有宾至如归的感觉。 
  
After experiencing Australia,I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan:“There’s 
nothing like 
Australia.”
  
在经历了澳大利亚之后,我不得不说我同意旅游业的口号:“没有什么能比得上澳大利
亚。”

UNIT 2 Using Language
THE AMAZING ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA 
澳大利亚的神奇动物 
  
Our topic today is “Creatures Unique to Australia”,with questions answered by 
wildlife expert,Dr 
Jim Smith. 
  
我们今天的主题是“澳大利亚特有的生物”,野生动物专家吉姆·史密斯博士回答了我们
的问题。 
  
Australia has lots of unique animals,but which animal is a symbol of the country? 
  
澳大利亚有许多独特的动物,但哪种动物是这个国家的象征? 
  
It has to be the kangaroo,as it has a wide distribution throughout the country. It’s a 
tough animal that 
has to survive in a difficult environment. Also,it cannot walk backwards,so it is 
always moving 
forwards. This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians as individuals and 
as a nation. 
Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes at birth. They then find their way into their 
mother’s 
pouch—a kind of pocket—to stay safe and warm. They sleep and drink milk in that 
temporary,
protected environment until they are about seven or eight months old. After this 
phase,they go out to 
try their legs. After they learn to jump,they gradually spend less time with their 
mother and learn to 
be independent. Kangaroos may look cute,but encounters with them don’t always end 
so well. 
Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard,so please folks,if you see some kangaroos,
remember they’re 
not for petting! 
  
它一定是袋鼠,因为它在全国分布很广。它是一种坚韧的动物,必须在艰苦的环境中
生存。而
且,它不能向后走,所以它总是向前走。这表达了澳大利亚人作为个人和国家的力量
和决心。
小袋鼠出生时只有两克重。然后,它们会进入母亲的口袋——一种安全保暖的口袋。
他们在这
种临时的、受保护的环境中睡觉和喝牛奶,直到七八个月大。在这个阶段之后,他们
会出去试
一下自己的腿。在他们学会了跳跃之后,他们逐渐减少了和母亲在一起的时间,学会
了独立。
袋鼠看起来很可爱,但与它们的相遇并不总是那么顺利。袋鼠能很用力地打和踢,所
以请各位,
如果你们看到一些袋鼠,记住它们不是用来抚摸的! 
  
Koalas are cute,and we see so many pictures of people holding them. But in many 
places in 
Australia,it is against the law to even touch them. Can you clarify that? 
  
考拉很可爱,我们看到很多人抱着考拉的照片。但在澳大利亚的许多地方,触碰它们
都是违法
的。你能澄清一下吗? 
They are really quite cute,but the truth is,koalas are very sensitive creatures who 
can easily panic 
because of even small changes in their environment. They spend quite a lot of time 
eating,sleeping,
and hanging onto tree trunks,so interaction with humans can cause them a lot of 
stress. Because of 
this,the government began to make laws against touching koalas,in the interest of 
animal protection,
as well as public safety. So,if you see one in the wild,you shouldn’t approach it to 
pick it up or even 
touch it. If you want to hold a koala,you have to go to certain licensed zoos where 
animal experts 
make sure that the koalas selected for each session are in a good state for human contact 
and that
  
7
  
they are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency of occasions. 
  
它们真的很可爱,但事实是,考拉是非常敏感的动物,它们很容易因为环境的微小变
化而惊慌
失措。它们花了大量的时间吃东西、睡觉、挂在树干上,因此与人类的互动会给它们
带来很大
的压力。正因为如此,为了保护动物和公共安全,政府开始制定法律禁止接触考拉。
所以,如
果你在野外看到一只,你不应该接近它去捡起它,甚至触摸它。如果你想养一只考拉,
你必须
去一些有执照的动物园,那里的动物专家要确保每节课选出来的考拉都处于良好的状
态,便于
人类接触,而且只在有限的时间和有限的场合处理。 
  
So,we’ve talked about some cute animals. What about animals which aren’t so cute? 
  
所以,我们讨论了一些可爱的动物。那些不那么可爱的动物呢? 
  
My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil. If you are out camping in 
Tasmania and 
come across one,the experience might scare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night,so you 
won’t 
usually see them,but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting or eating. The 
noise they 
make could wake the dead. Frightening! They are about the size of small dogs and look like 
rather 
large black rats. They also have a terrible smell! Their diet is mostly dead animals. 
Fortunately,
despite their name,they are generally not violent towards people. 
  
我最喜欢的是一种叫塔斯马尼亚魔鬼的小动物。如果你在塔斯马尼亚野营时遇到一个,
这种经
历可能会吓到你!塔斯马尼亚魔鬼在晚上狩猎,所以你通常不会看到他们,但你可能
会听到他
们大声喊叫时,他们战斗或吃。他们发出的噪音可能会把死人吵醒。可怕的!它们有
小狗那么
大,看起来像相当大的黑鼠。它们也有难闻的气味!他们的饮食大多是死动物。幸运
的是,尽
管他们的名字,他们一般不会对人施暴。 
  
Australia also has some animals that many people have never heard of,for example,the 
duck-billed 
platypus. Is that some kind of bird? 
  
澳大利亚也有许多人从未听说过的动物,例如鸭嘴兽。那是某种鸟吗? 
  
Not at all. While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird,it’s really a primitive mammal,with a 
unique 
biology. Its eggs hatch after about ten days,and then the baby platypus nurses from its 
mother like all 
other mammals. Its nose looks like a duck’s bill,and it has feet like a duck’s so it can dive 
under the 
water,but it’s covered in hair. Do you know what’s really strange about a platypus? The 
platypus 
doesn’t use its senses of sight or smell to find food. It has a capacity to find food in the water 
by 
using electrical sensors in its bill. There are only a small handful of animals in the world that 
can do 
that! 
  
一点也不。虽然它可能像鸟一样在巢中产卵,但它确实是一种原始哺乳动物,具有独
特的生物
学特性。大约10 天后,鸭嘴兽的卵孵化出来,然后鸭嘴兽宝宝像其他哺乳动物一样从
母亲那
里哺育。它的鼻子看起来像鸭嘴,它的脚也像鸭子,所以它可以潜到水下,但它全身
都是毛。
你知道鸭嘴兽有什么奇怪的地方吗?鸭嘴兽不使用视觉或嗅觉来寻找食物。它有能力
通过在账
单中使用电子传感器在水中寻找食物。世界上只有一小部分动物能做到这一点!

UNIT3 Sea Exploration 
Reading and Thinking 
  
REACHING OUT ACROSS THE SEA 横跨大海 
  
Trade and curiosity have often formed the foundation of mankind’s greatest 
achievements. To 
complete the great map of the world was a strong passion for the people of early 
civilisations. Marco 
Polo’s tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. 
However,
merchants and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before 
Columbus first 
did. 
  
贸易和好奇心经常是人类最伟大成就的基础。完成这幅伟大的世界地图是早期文明人
民的强烈
热情。马可波罗的故事启发了欧洲探险家寻找从西到东的海上航线。然而,东部的商
人和探险
家比哥伦布早很多年从东向西航行。 
  
In ancient times,silk from China found its way overland to India,the Middle East,
and Rome,along 
what became known as the Silk Road. A trading route across the sea was also extended 
along the 
coasts of the Indian Ocean,centered around Ceylon(now Sri Lanka). Here,
merchants from China 
and many other places met to negotiate trade deals,which also led to more awareness 
of each other’s 
cultures. Over the centuries,further trading allowed more exploration of the regions to 
the west of 
China,as recorded in Du Huan’s Record of My Travels in the eighth century. 
  
在古代,中国的丝绸沿着丝绸之路陆路到达印度、中东和罗马。一条横跨海洋的贸易
路线也沿
着印度洋沿岸延伸,以锡兰(现在的斯里兰卡)为中心。在这里,来自中国和其他许
多地方的
商人会面,商谈贸易交易,这也使他们对彼此的文化有了更多的了解。几个世纪以来,
进一步
的贸易使中国西部地区得到了更多的探索,正如杜桓在我八世纪游记中所记载的那样。
 
  
Later,the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions. Between 1405 
and 1433,
seven large fleets sailed west on voyages of trade and exploration. These fleets were a 
sight to behold 
and were in a league of their own at that time. Under the command of Zheng He,they 
set sail from 
the South China Sea across the Indian Ocean to the mouth of the Red Sea,and then to 
the east coast 
of Africa. African royal families sent gifts such as giraffes as gestures of friendship in 
return for gold,
silk,and spices. Although China withdrew from further expeditions after 1433,these 
land and sea 
routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries. 
  
后来,明朝进一步发展了与这些地区的关系。1405 年至1433 年间,7 艘大型船队向西
航行,
进行贸易和勘探。这些舰队是一个看得见的景象,在当时是属于他们自己的联盟。在
郑和的指
挥下,他们从南中国海起航,越过印度洋到达红海入海口,再到非洲东海岸。非洲皇
室送礼物,
如长颈鹿作为友谊的象征,以换取黄金、丝绸和香料。尽管中国在1433 年后退出了进
一步的
探险,但这些陆路和海路在几个世纪以来一直是其他文化之间的活跃通道。 
  
To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today. The ancient sea routes 
travelled by Zheng 
He are being revisited with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,which is part of the 
Belt and Road 
Initiative.

如今,跨越海洋仍然是一种强烈的愿望。由郑率领的古代海上航线,他将被重新访问,
二十一
世纪海上丝绸之路,这是“一带一路”倡议的一部分。 
  
The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road 
areas,
and strengthen the bonds between China and the rest of the world. Trading has grown greatly 
in 
recent years,and will continue to do so in years to come. China has invested billions in 
systems and 
services along these routes,which will help to greatly develop the whole area for the benefit 
of future 
trade and cultural exchange. 
  
这一倡议的目的是鼓励跨越历史丝绸之路地区的合作与贸易,加强中国与世界各国的
联系。近
年来,贸易有了很大的增长,今后几年还将继续增长。中国在这些线路上投资了数十
亿美元的
系统和服务,这将有助于整个地区的大发展,有利于未来的贸易和文化交流。 
  
China has also joined its friends across the sea on other important projects. Although the 
ancient sea 
routes of Zheng He have been travelled many times,there are still many other places left to 
explore. 
In recent years,China has joined other nations on several expeditions to explore the Arctic. 
From a 
scientific point of view,there is an urgent need to study the Arctic in order to understand 
climate 
change and its effects. 
  
中国还与它的海上朋友们一道参与了其他重要项目。虽然郑和的古代海路已经走了很
多次,但
还有很多地方有待探索。近年来,中国与其他国家一道进行了几次北极探险。从科学
的角度来
看,迫切需要研究北极,以便了解气候变化及其影响。 
  
Hundreds of years on,and with the latest technology in hand,the need to trade and the 
desire to 
enhance relationships will drive China to reach out across the sea far into the future. 
  
几百年过去了,在掌握最新技术的情况下,贸易的需要和增进关系的愿望将推动中国
在遥远的
未来跨越海洋。

When people talk of exploring the sea more,they usually mean exploiting it. Sea 
exploration has 
caused many problems and will continue to cause more. 
  
当人们谈论更多地探索海洋时,他们通常是指开发海洋。海洋勘探造成了许多问题,
并将继续
造成更多的问题。

More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million 
gallons of 
oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also bad,killing many birds and fish,and has 
even been 
found in our tap water. 
  
更多的勘探意味着更多的污染。2010 年,“深水地平线”号向海中泄漏了超过2 亿加仑
的石油。
塑料污染也很严重,杀死了许多鸟类和鱼类,甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污
染。 
  
Mining for resources is very damaging,especially in the Arctic. Because of climate 
change,there is 
less ice now,which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north. But if we burn 
these,the 
ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue. Climate change is warning us that 
something is very wrong. 
  
开采资源破坏性很大,特别是在北极地区。由于气候变化,现在的冰越来越少,这意
味着我们
可以在更远的北方寻找更多的化石燃料。但如果我们燃烧这些,冰会融化得更多,这
种负循环
还会继续。气候变化正在警告我们,有些事情是非常错误的。 
  
Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so-
called 
research. Although this was banned in 1982,some countries are still “murdering” these 
intelligent 
creatures without mercy. The sea is home to life,not human beings’ possessions. It is 
huge,but it is 
more sensitive than we think. If we do not protect it,future generations will not forgive us. 
  
过度捕捞是另一个问题。鲸鱼和海豚也被猎杀以获取它们的肉或进行所谓的研究。尽

1982 年被禁止,一些国家仍然毫不留情地“谋杀”这些聪明的生物。海洋是生命的家园,
而不

To truly understand our planet,we must explore the oceans which cover most of it.

VOLUNTEERING IN THE BUSH 
在丛林里做志愿者 
  
8 March3 月8 日 
I just got a parcel from home! It took about two weeks to arrive,and it was a bit damaged,
but it was 
so nice to get some sweets and jam from home;I’ve been dying to have some of my 
favourite sweets,
and it’s always nice to get mail! 
  
我刚从家里收到一个包裹!它花了大约两个星期才到达,而且有点破损,但能从家里
弄到一些
糖果和果酱真是太好了;我一直渴望得到一些我最喜欢的糖果,收到邮件总是很好! 
  
So I’ve been here in the jungle for about a month now. My secondary school is a bush school. 
The 
classrooms are made of bamboo,with clay floors and roofs of grass. It takes me only a few 
minutes 
to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds. When I reach the school grounds,
I’m 
greeted by a chorus of“good morning”from the boys. Unlike students in our country,these 
boys do 
not wear cotton uniforms,and many of them also have to walk a long way,sometimes for 
up to two 
hours,just to get to school. 
  
我已经在丛林里呆了一个月了。我的中学是一所灌木学校。教室是竹子做的,地板是
粘土,屋
顶是草。沿着布满杂草的尘土飞扬的小路,我只花了几分钟就走到了学校。当我到达
学校时,
男孩们齐声向我问好。与我国学生不同的是,这些男孩不穿棉服,他们中的许多人也
要走很长
的路,有时要走两个小时,才能到学校。 
  
There’s no electricity, running water or even textbooks,not to mention laptops,tablets,or 
other
  
12
  
modern devices! All the students have are pencils,rubbers,and paper. I’m still trying to 
adapt to 
these conditions. I’ve had to become much more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my 
most 
challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. There is no 
equipment,
and since there isn’t even a washroom,if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a 
basin! 
It’s important not to be too rigid about rules here,too. The other day I was showing the boys 
a 
chemistry experiment when,before I knew it,the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube 
spilling 
everywhere! The class became a circus as the boys,who had never come across anything 
like this 
before,started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is 
to these 
students—few will ever become chemists—and most will be going back to their villages after 
Year 8 
anyway. To be honest,I doubt whether I’m making any difference to these boys’ lives at all. 
  
没有电,没有自来水,甚至没有课本,更不用说笔记本电脑,平板电脑,或其他现代
设备了!
所有的学生都有铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在努力适应这些条件。我必须在教学中变得更
有想象力。
科学是我最具挑战性的科目,因为我的学生没有做实验的概念。因为没有设备,甚至
连洗手间
都没有,如果我需要水,我就得用脸盆把水从家里拿出来!这里的规则也不要太死板,
这很重
要。前几天我给孩子们看一个化学实验,不知不觉,混合物从试管里冒出来,到处都
是!这个
班成了一个马戏团,因为男孩们以前从来没有遇到过这样的事,他们开始从窗户跳出
来。有时
我想知道化学对这些学生有多重要,很少有人会成为化学家,而且大多数人在8 年级
之后都会
回到自己的村庄。老实说,我怀疑我是否能改变这些孩子的生活。 
  
17 April4 月17 日 
  
Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village,home to one of our students,
Tombe. Another 
teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get there—first,up a mountain from where 
we had 
fantastic views,and then down a shaded path to the valley below. When we arrived at the 
village,
Tombe’s mother,Kiak,saw us coming and started crying“ieee ieee”. We shook hands with 
all the 
villagers. Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe. 
  
上周末我第一次去了一个偏僻的村庄,那里是我们的一个学生汤贝的家。我和另一位
老师先走
了两个半小时到达那里,爬上一座山,从那里我们可以看到美妙的景色,然后沿着一
条阴暗的
小路走到下面的山谷。当我们到达村子的时候,汤贝的母亲凯看到我们来了,就哭了
起来。我
们和所有的村民握手。每个人似乎都和汤比有关系。 
  
Tombe’s father,Mukap,a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead,led us to his 
house,a low,
round bamboo hut with no windows,with a door just big enough to get through,and with 
grass 
sticking out of the roof—this shows it is a man’s house. Such housing is dark inside so it took 
time 
for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for 
Jenny and 
me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut. The only possessions I could 
see were 
one broom,a few saucers,a kettle ,cups,pans ,and a couple of jars. 
  
Tombe 的父亲,Mukap,一个强壮的下巴和皱巴巴的额头,把我们领到他的房子,一
个低矮的,
圆的没有窗户的竹屋,门刚好够穿过,屋顶上有草,这表明这是一个男人的房子。这
样的房子
里面很暗,所以我们的眼睛需要时间来调整。新鲜的草铺在地板上,还有一个供我和
珍妮睡觉
的平台。小屋中央有一个壁炉。我所能看到的只有一把扫帚、几个碟子、一个水壶、
杯子、平
  
13
  
底锅和几个罐子。 
  
Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an 
empty oil 
drum with kau kau,ripe corn,and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana 
leaves and left 
them to steam. It smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved 
listening to 
the family talking softly to each 
  
木卡普在外面生了一堆火,并在上面放了石头加热。然后,他把滚烫的石头放在一个
空油桶里,
里面装着秋葵、成熟的玉米和青菜。然后他用香蕉叶覆盖蔬菜,让它们蒸一下。闻起
来很香。
我们坐在火炉旁的小屋里吃饭。我喜欢听家人彼此轻声交谈 
  
other in their language,even though I could not participate much in the conversation. 
Luckily,Tom 
be interpreted for us. 
 
其他人用他们的语言,即使我不能参加太多的对话。幸运的是,汤姆 能为我们翻译。 
  
Later,I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a while,Tombe 
threw it 
out of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His 
family 
believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night,so any leftover food is dried up in a can 
and the 
can is then thrown out of the hut. 
  
后来,我注意到一个罐子倒立在炉火上方的烤架上。过了一会儿,汤比把它扔出了门
口。汤比
告诉我,罐头是加热的,以使剩下的食物变干。他的家人认为,剩菜会在晚上招来坏
情绪,所
以任何剩菜都要放在罐头里晾干,然后把罐头扔出小屋。 
  
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles 
were 
aching and my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home. 
That 
evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s 
family. 
  
第二天早上,我们在多次道别和握手之后离开了村子。我的肌肉酸痛,膝盖发抖,我
们拖着自
己下山回家。那天晚上我高兴地躺在床上。能和汤贝的家人呆一天真是太荣幸了。 
 
  
UNIT 4 Using Language 
  
Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing. 
你好!我叫詹冰冰。 
Lately,all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world,helping 
other 
countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo,a port in 
Pakistan,
railways in Panama,and an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners,oil 
workers,
agricultural experts,mechanics,and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. 
And some 
people may ask,“Is it worth it? Why help people overseas when China has many areas that 
are still 
in need of development?”
  
14
  
  
最近,我们都在电视上看到中国人在世界遥远的地方帮助其他国家发展。我们看到中
国工人在
刚果修建公路,在巴基斯坦修建港口,在巴拿马修建铁路,在斯里兰卡修建机场。我
们看到中
国矿工、石油工人、农业专家、机械师和医生几乎在世界的每个角落工作。有些人可
能会问,
“值得吗?中国还有许多需要发展的领域,为什么还要帮助海外的人呢?” 
  
I had the same questions myself. But for me,it was much more personal. You see,my 
mother is a 
medical doctor,and for the last two years,she has been working as a volunteer consultant 
in 
Tanzania,Africa,as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government. 
  
我自己也有同样的问题。但对我来说,这更私人。你看,我母亲是一名医生,近两年
来,她一
直在非洲坦桑尼亚做义工顾问,是中国政府派出的医疗队的一员。 
To be honest,when my mother first left for Africa,I was upset. My mother cooked me 
dinner every 
night,and she took good care of me. But more importantly,she was my best friend. We 
talked 
together,we spent our leisure time together,and except for school and work,we were 
never apart. 
So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input. 
  
说实话,当我母亲第一次去非洲的时候,我很难过。我妈妈每天晚上都给我做饭,她
很照顾我。
但更重要的是,她是我最好的朋友。我们一起聊天,一起度过闲暇时光,除了上学和
工作,我
们从未分开。所以我很不高兴她没有征求我的意见就走了。 
  
But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania,a country that has many 
health 
problems,and now I am singing a different tune. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in 
China 
are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And,while the country is quite beautiful and 
has much 
natural wealth,many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for 
granted, such 
as electricity,running water,cars and good transport systems,and supermarkets. One 
project that my 
mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital. Prior to this,if a Tanzanian had a 
heart 
condition and needed surgery,they would have to go abroad. Since this was quite 
expensive,many 
people went without medical treatment and some even died. Now,not only are Tanzanians 
helped by 
the hospital,but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well. It has made a big 
difference to 
their lives. My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment,
help 
those with disabilities,and provide consultation and training for local doctors. In addition,
her team 
has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China,and this has saved many lives. 
  
但后来我开始听说她在坦桑尼亚做的工作,这个国家有很多健康问题,现在我唱的是
另一首歌。
许多在中国很少见的危险疾病在坦桑尼亚很常见。而且,虽然这个国家很美丽,有很
多自然财
富,但许多人很穷,生活中没有我们认为理所当然的东西,如电力、自来水、汽车和
良好的运
输系统,以及超市。我母亲参与的一个项目是帮助建立一所心脏病医院。在此之前,
如果坦桑
尼亚人有心脏病需要手术,他们就必须出国。由于这是相当昂贵的,许多人去没有医
疗,有些
人甚至死亡。现在,不仅坦桑尼亚人得到了医院的帮助,邻国的人们也得到了帮助。
这对他们
的生活产生了很大的影响。我母亲还环游农村,为残疾人提供医疗、帮助,并为当地
医生提供
咨询和培训。此外,她的团队还为患者提供了中国发明的一种新的疟疾治疗方法,这
挽救了许
多人的生命。 
  
  
15
  
Today,I want to relay to you that I’m proud of the work my mother has done,and I am 
now 
supportive of it. Is her work worth it? Yes,to the lives of the people she is helping,it is 
worth it. But 
by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well,because it shows that we are global 
citizens 
interested in world stability,and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a 
community with a shared future for mankind. Everyone deserves a fair chance in life. When I 
think 
of all the things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of,helping others comes at 
the top of 
this list. Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is,I’ve decided to become 
a 
volunteer myself to help people in other lands. In the future,I pray that you will do the 
same. 
  
今天,我要向大家转达,我为我母亲所做的工作感到骄傲,现在我支持这项工作。她
的工作值
得吗?是的,对她所帮助的人来说,这是值得的。但从任何标准来看,这项工作对我
们来说都
是值得的,因为它表明,我们是对世界稳定感兴趣的全球公民,我们感到对他人负责,
并准备
建立一个拥有人类共同未来的社会。每个人在生活中都应该有一个公平的机会。当我
想到我们
作为中国公民最值得骄傲的事情时,帮助别人排在首位。现在我明白了母亲的工作是
多么重要,
我决定自己成为一名志愿者,帮助其他国家的人们。今后,我祈祷你也会这样做。 
Thank you!谢谢您!

WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO 
弄清楚你想做什么 
  
As an adult,one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is,“What 
do you 
do?”This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have 
defines 
your life,and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.

The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school,before 
you make 
any choices about your further education. This,however,is not always easy. Some people 
know what 
they want to do from a young age,but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in

career may help you for the rest of your life. You don’t want to look back in years to come 
and say,
“I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”

There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your 
personal 
interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work 
scenarios,
like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course,while completing these sorts of tests,it 
is very 
important to be honest—and don’t worry—there are no right or wrong answers.
职业能力倾向测试有很多种。有些人会问一些关于你个人兴趣和态度的问题。其他人

One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. 
Their 
answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. 
The 
participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The 
top three 
scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s overall work personality. This 
code is 
then used to generate a list of career suggestions.
