5、他還在認識論和邏輯領(lǐng)域做出了重大而深遠的貢獻。他的思想和方法所帶來的影響一直是后來的西方哲學的堅實基礎(chǔ)。蘇格拉底是古代哲學史上最豐富多彩的人物。他在他那個時代已威名遠揚。雖然他未曾建立什么哲學體系，未曾設立什么學派，也未曾創(chuàng)立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就變得家喻戶曉了。 原文： 孔子是中國歷史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家學派（Confucianism）的創(chuàng)始人，被尊稱為古代的“圣人”（sage）。 他的言論和生平活動記錄在《論語》（The Analects）一書中。《論語》是中國古代文化的經(jīng)典著作，對后來歷代的思想家、文學家、政治家產(chǎn)生了很大影響。不研究《論語》，就不能真正把握中國幾千年

6、的傳統(tǒng)文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，對中國社會產(chǎn)生了深遠的影響。在21世紀的今天，孔子的學說不僅受到中國人的重視，而且也越來越受到整個國際社會的重視。 翻譯： Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history.

14、 日 —— 中 秋 節(jié)（the Mid-Autumn Festival）。這時是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱為中秋。中秋節(jié)的一項重要活動是賞月。夜晚，人們賞明月、吃月餅，共慶中秋佳節(jié)。中秋節(jié)也是家庭團圓的時刻，遠在他鄉(xiāng)的游子，會借此寄托自己對故鄉(xiāng)和親人的思念之情。中秋節(jié)的習俗很多，都寄托著人們對美好生活的熱愛和向往。自2008年起，中秋節(jié)成為中國的法定節(jié)假日 翻譯： According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival — the Mid-Autumn

The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a religious festival honoring Zeus (宙斯). The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Olympic symbol consists of

34、 five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, representing the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The Olympics truly took off as an international sporting event after 1924, when the 8th Olympic Games were held in Paris. Some 3,000 a

37、飛、成為一項國際體育盛會是在1924年之后，即第8屆奧運會在巴黎舉辦之后。這一年，來自44個國家約3,000名運動員同場競技，并且第一次在奧運會上增加了閉幕式這一儀式。同年，冬季奧運會首次亮相，比賽項目包括花樣滑冰、冰球、雪橇和冬季兩項運動。80年后，2004年夏季奧運會在相隔一個多世紀后再次在雅典舉辦，來自201個國家的近11,000名運動員展開競技，創(chuàng)下參賽國數(shù)量之最。 原文： 太極拳（Tai Chi）是一種武術(shù)（martial arts）項目，也是一種健身運動，在中國有著悠久的歷史。太極拳動作緩慢而柔和，適合任何年齡、性別、體型的人練習。太極拳既可防身，又能強身健體，因而深受中國人的

38、喜愛。太極拳在發(fā)展的過程中，借鑒并吸收了中國傳統(tǒng)哲學、醫(yī)術(shù)、武術(shù)的合理內(nèi)容（element），成為特色鮮明的一項運動。作為中國特有的一種運動形式，太極拳也越來越受到眾多外國朋友的喜愛。 翻譯： Tai Chi is a kind of martial arts, and a fitness exercise as well.

Unit 6 原文： Gap year (間隔年) refers to a period of time —not necessarily a year — in which students take time off and do something other than schooling, such as travel or wor

41、k. The year out is most commonly taken after high school and before going to university. During this time, a student might travel, engage in volunteer work or undertake (承擔) a working holiday abroad. A new trend is to participate in international education programs that combine language study, home

42、stays, cultural exchange, community service, and independent study. The practice of taking a year out developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. It has grown very popular among students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In the United States, however, the practice of taking a year off

43、 remains the exception (例外). But in recent years, taking a year out has become slightly more common for Americans. Some 40,000 American students participated in 2013 in gap year programs, an increase of almost 20% since 2006. Universities such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachuset

44、ts Institute of Technology have formal policies allowing students to defer (延期) admission. 翻譯： 間隔年指的是學生休假不去上學而去旅游或工作等的一段時間，但不一定是一年。間隔年通常選在高中畢業(yè)和進入大學之前的一段時間。在這段時間里，學生可以旅游、參加志愿者工作或者在國外邊打工邊度假。一種新潮流是參加集語言學習、住家、文化交流、社區(qū)服務和自主學習于一體的國際教育活動。間隔年的做法于20世紀60年代興起于英國。它在英國、澳大利亞、新西蘭和加拿大已經(jīng)變得非常流行。但是在美國，間隔年的做法仍然只是個別現(xiàn)象。

45、不過近年來，間隔年對美國人來說變得稍微普遍起來。2013年有大約四萬美國學生參加了間隔年活動，比2006年增加了近20%。普林斯頓大學、哈佛大學、麻省理工學院等大學都有明文規(guī)定允許學生延遲入學。 原文： 改革開放以來，中國的教育事業(yè)得到了快速發(fā)展，取得了引人矚目的成就。中國政府把教育擺在優(yōu)先發(fā)展的地位，堅持科教興國（revitalize the country），全面提倡素質(zhì)教育 (quality-oriented education)。同時，積極推進教育公平，保障人人有受教育的機會。中國的教育成就反映在兩個不同的層面：一個是全面普及了九年義務教育（nine-year compulsory

46、 education），另一個是實現(xiàn)了高等教育大眾化（mass higher education）。教育的發(fā)展為中國的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和社會進步作出了重大貢獻。近年來，為適應社會、經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的需要，中國政府不斷加快培養(yǎng)各領(lǐng)域的急需人才。 翻譯： Since its economic reform and opening-up to the world, China's education has gone through rapid development and made remarkable achievements. The Chinese government gives top prior

47、ity to the development of education, persists in revitalizing the country by science and education, and fully advocates quality-oriented education. Meanwhile, it actively promotes equality in education to guarantee everyone access to education. China's achievements in education can be reflected in t

48、wo different layers: One is the popularization of the nine-year compulsory education; the other is the realization of mass higher education. The development of education has made significant contributions to China's economic development and social progress. In recent years, to satisfy the needs of s

49、ocial and economic development, the Chinese government has sped up the training of qualified personnel urgently needed in various fields. Unit 7 原文： The belief in the freedom of the individual is probably the most basic and most strongly held of all American beliefs. The most important thing to u

50、nderstand Americans is probably their devotion (深愛) to "individualism". They have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destiny. Americans view themselves as highly individualisti

51、c in their thoughts and actions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneous (由同類組成的) group. When they do join groups, they believe they are special, just a little different from other members of the same group. Closely associated with the value they place on individualism is

52、the importance Americans assign privacy. Americans assume people "need some time to themselves" or "some time alone" to think about things or recover their spent psychological energy. Americans have great difficulty understanding foreigners who always want to be with another person and who dislike b

53、eing alone. 翻譯： 在所有美國人的信念中，最基本、最強烈的信念可能就是崇尚個人自由。要理解美國人，最重要的也許就是了解他們對"個人主義"的熱愛。生活中他們很早就開始受到教育，把自己看成獨立的個體，對人生中自己的處境以及自己的前途命運負責。美國人認為自己的思想和行為高度個性化。他們不愿被視為任何同質(zhì)群體的代表。如果確實加入了群體，他們也認為自己有特別之處，及同一個群體中的其他成員有著些許的差別。及美國人對個人主義賦予的價值緊密相關(guān)的是他們對個人隱私的重視。美國人認為，人"需要有自己的時間"或者"有時間獨處"，用來思考事情，或者恢復他們所消耗的心理能量。美國人很難理解那些總想及人結(jié)

54、伴、不愛獨處的外國人。 原文： 為人誠信，以和為貴是中華民族的傳統(tǒng)美德。"和"的思想體現(xiàn)在很多方面。在處理人及人的關(guān)系上，中國傳統(tǒng)思想主張"和為貴"以及"家和萬事興"，從而創(chuàng)造一個和諧的社會環(huán)境。在人及自然的關(guān)系上，人類應當學會認識自然，尊重自然，保護自然。人及人、人及社會、人及自然都需要"和諧"。如今，和諧發(fā)展依然是我們的治國之本和管理人才之道。隨著我國社會經(jīng)濟和文化的發(fā)展，"和"的思想更加深入人心。中國正在向構(gòu)建社會主義和諧社會的目標邁進。 翻譯： Integrity and harmony are traditional Chinese virtues. "Harmony" is

55、 demonstrated in various aspects. In regard to interpersonal relations, traditional Chinese thoughts hold that "Harmony is most precious" and "A family that lives in harmony will prosper". A harmonious social environment can be created based on these principles. As for relations between human beings

56、 and nature, people should learn to understand, respect and protect nature. Harmony is essential to interpersonal relations, relations between human beings and society, as well as between human beings and nature. Nowadays, harmonious development is still the way of running the country and managing t

57、alented personnel. With the development of China's society, economy and culture, the idea of "harmony" goes even deeper into people's hearts. China is on its way toward the goal of building a harmonious socialist society. Unit 8 原文： As the world's only truly universal global organization, the Uni

58、ted Nations (UN) has become the foremost forum to address issues that transcend (超越) national boundaries and cannot be resolved by any one country acting alone. The initial goals of the UN are safeguarding (保護) peace, protecting human rights, establishing the framework for international justice and

59、promoting economic and social progress. In recent years, the UN has been faced with new challenges, such as climate change, international terrorism and AIDS. While conflict resolution and peacekeeping continue to be among its primary efforts, the UN, along with its specialized agencies, is also enga

60、ged in a wide range of activities to improve people's lives around the world — from disaster relief, through education and advancement of women, to peaceful uses of atomic energy. The UN and its specialized agencies have helped the world become a more hospitable (熱情友好的) and livable place and brought

61、 great benefits to people around the world. 翻譯： 作為世界上唯一一個真正具有普遍性的世界組織，聯(lián)合國已經(jīng)成為處理超越國界、而且任何一個國家都無法獨立解決的問題的首要論壇。聯(lián)合國最初的宗旨是維護和平、保護人權(quán)、建立國際公平正義的框架以及促進經(jīng)濟和社會進步。近年來，聯(lián)合國又面臨著新的挑戰(zhàn)，諸如氣候變化、國際恐怖主義和艾滋病等?，F(xiàn)在，解決爭端及維護和平仍然是聯(lián)合國最主要的任務。除此之外，聯(lián)合國及其專門機構(gòu)還致力于各種旨在改進世界人民生活的活動，從賑災到教育和婦女進步，再到原子能的和平使用。聯(lián)合國及其專門機構(gòu)推動世界成為一個更加友好、更加宜居的地方，為

62、全世界人民帶來了福祉。 原文： 新中國成立后，中國堅持（persist in）獨立自主的和平外交政策，在外交領(lǐng)域取得了巨大成就。截至2011年，中國已及172個國家建立了外交關(guān)系（diplomatic relations）。近年來，隨著中國綜合國力的提升（enhancement），中國在國際事務中的作用越來越重要，中國的國際地位得到進一步提升。在地區(qū)性事務中，中國積極推動各種區(qū)域合作，為維護地區(qū)和平、促進地區(qū)發(fā)展作出了重要貢獻。中國外交（diplomacy）將高舉"和平、發(fā)展、合作、共贏"的旗幟（banner），在和平共處五項原則的基礎(chǔ)上，通過全面發(fā)展同各國的友好合作，為建設持久和平、共同

63、繁榮的和諧世界作出不懈的努力（make unremitting efforts）。 翻譯： Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has persisted in the independent foreign policy of peace, and made tremendous progress in foreign affairs. By 2011, China had established diplomatic relations with 172 countries. Over recent y

64、ears, with the enhancement of its comprehensive national strength, China has been playing an increasingly important role in international affairs, and China's international status has been further enhanced. In regional affairs, China actively promotes all kinds of regional cooperation. It has made i

65、mportant contributions in maintaining regional peace and promoting regional development. China's diplomacy will hold high the banner of "peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit". On the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and through all-round and friendly cooperation with various countries, China will make unremitting efforts to build a harmonious world of enduring peace and common prosperity.
