  Text A The Importance of Being Kind and Polite

  “Frankly, I think you're boring.” Why do we seldom hear people speak so honestly?

  本句翻譯:“公開(kāi)跟你講,我覺(jué)得你很討厭。”為什么我們幾乎聽(tīng)不到人們會(huì)這樣非常直來(lái)直去的講話呢?

  seldom 很少,幾乎不

  Unless you want to end a relationship, you don't tell another person what you think of her or him like this.

  本句翻譯:除非你要終止與對(duì)方的關(guān)系,要不然你不會(huì)跟對(duì)方說(shuō)出你對(duì)她或他有這種不好的想法。

  unless (conj.)除非;如果不

  For example: I shall go there unless it rains. 如果不下雨,我將去那里。

  You will fail unless you work harder. 你若不更加努力,你就會(huì)失敗。

  end (finish)結(jié)束

  Failing to be impressed by a friend's collection of stamps, yawning when a golfer tells you about that great shot he made on the 14th hole, or falling asleep when friends show pictures from their last trip to Sault Ste. Marie are all things that educated people try not to do.

  本句翻譯:對(duì)你的朋友集郵的成就無(wú)動(dòng)于衷;當(dāng)一個(gè)高爾夫球手興興高采烈地告訴你,他的第14穴打得很精彩時(shí),你卻在打哈欠;當(dāng)你的朋友們興致勃勃地給你看他們最近到蘇圣瑪麗去旅游拍下的那些照片時(shí),你卻酣然入睡了――這一切都是有教養(yǎng)的人所盡力避免的。

  三個(gè)并列的動(dòng)名次短語(yǔ)做句子的主語(yǔ)failing to be impressed…, yawning…, falling asleep…

  failing to be impressed 沒(méi)有記住…

  yawning 打哈欠

  falling asleep 睡覺(jué)

  This is what manners are about: acting in a civilized way to avoid misunderstanding, friction, and conflict.

  本句翻譯:一切行動(dòng)都按市民能接受的懂禮貌的方式去做,避免誤會(huì),避免磨擦,避免沖突――這才是合乎禮貌的言行舉止(注:高爾夫球,海外華人稱“穴”,國(guó)內(nèi)稱“洞”――譯者注)。

  manners 行為方式

  in … way 以某種方式

  There are no laws enforcing respect.

  本句翻譯:根本就沒(méi)有強(qiáng)迫你來(lái)尊敬別人的那種法律。

  Yet we cannot interact with others without some rules of behavior, rules that are set by some form of social consensus.

  本句翻譯: 可是,如果沒(méi)有一定的道德行為的準(zhǔn)則,人們互相間就無(wú)法交往了。這些準(zhǔn)則是以社會(huì)上一致贊成的公德的形式確定下來(lái)的。

  interact with others 彼此交流,彼此交往

  without some rules… 相當(dāng)于一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ)從句的否定式

  These guidelines represent what a majority of people consider acceptable and what they consider unacceptable.

  本句翻譯: 這些道德行為準(zhǔn)則代表著大多數(shù)人所能接受的和他們認(rèn)為所不能接受的做法。

  Rude people are those whose behavior shows little respect for the rules that the majority follow.

  本句翻譯:那些行為舉止根本不尊重大多數(shù)人所遵守的規(guī)則的人都是粗野的人。

  Show respect for 對(duì)…表示出尊重

  follow 遵守,遵循

  For instance, because they talk at home while the television is on, many people think they can talk at movies as well.

  本句翻譯:例如,因?yàn)樵S多人在自己家里一邊看電視一邊高談闊論,他們就認(rèn)為在電影院看電影時(shí)也可以高聲喧嘩。

  for instance: for example 例如

  on: go on 進(jìn)行

  They are not even aware that this habit will bother the other members of the audience.

  本句翻譯:他們甚至沒(méi)意識(shí)到,這種習(xí)慣會(huì)使其他一些電影觀眾感到討厭。

  be aware that:意識(shí)到

  members of the audience 觀眾

  member 成員

  Restaurants have smoking and non-smoking sections, and most smokers are polite enough to ask, “Do you mind if I smoke?” before lighting up.

  本句翻譯:飯店里都設(shè)有吸煙室和非吸煙區(qū),大多數(shù)煙民在沒(méi)點(diǎn)著香煙之前,都會(huì)很有禮貌的問(wèn)一聲在旁邊就座的人:“我吸煙的話,您介意嗎?”

  non- 沒(méi)有,無(wú)

  before lighting up 點(diǎn)燃

  Restaurants should also have cellular-phone and no-cellular-phone sections.

  本句翻譯:飯店里本來(lái)也都應(yīng)該設(shè)有手提電話區(qū)和非手提電話區(qū)。

  A new class of rude people has been born: the look-at-me phone users whose boring conversations are just as dangerous to our mental health as smoke is to our lungs.

  本句翻譯:現(xiàn)在又冒出來(lái)一群新的粗野人,即看我有多神氣地打著手提電話的一族。這些人在電話上的那些無(wú)聊的談話,對(duì)我們心理健康的危害,和吸煙對(duì)我們的肺部健康的危害是同樣嚴(yán)重的。

  class 階層,群體

  look-at-me 看看我

  Sometimes, it is better to remain unknown than to make people hate you.

  本句翻譯:有時(shí),做一個(gè)默默無(wú)聞的人倒比讓人恨你、討厭你更好一些。

  There are many children and adolescents whose behavior is generally unacceptable.

  本句翻譯:有很多人家的子女和一些小青年的行為是一般人所不能接受的。

  They swear no matter who is around them, they listen to their Walkmans while the teacher is talking to them.

  本句翻譯:他們動(dòng)不動(dòng)就開(kāi)口罵人,也不管旁邊有什么人在場(chǎng)。在教師同他們談話時(shí),他們還在聽(tīng)他們的隨身聽(tīng)所播放的節(jié)目。

  no matter不管/不論(后可跟who, when, where, how 等疑問(wèn)代詞或疑問(wèn)副詞引導(dǎo)的從句)

  For example: No matter who you are, you should follow the guideline. 不管你是誰(shuí),你都應(yīng)當(dāng)遵守這個(gè)規(guī)則。

  I am bound to work out the problem no matter how difficult it is. 不管這個(gè)問(wèn)題有多難,我一定要把它解決掉。

  Indifferent parents who refuse to discipline their children are not helping them.

  本句翻譯:凡是那些不能用行為道德準(zhǔn)則來(lái)約束自己的孩子,對(duì)孩子的品德漠不關(guān)心的父母,其實(shí)并不是在愛(ài)護(hù)孩子,對(duì)孩子的成長(zhǎng)沒(méi)好處。

  discipline: punish 懲罰

  When they join the work force, their employers and associates alike will soon realize that the behavior of these rude young people is closer to that of animals than civilized individuals.

  本句翻譯:在他們參加工作以后,他們的雇主和在工作中與之打交道的那些人都會(huì)一致意識(shí)到這些粗野的青年人的所作所為都和野獸的行為很接近,而不像規(guī)規(guī)矩矩的市民。

  associate: colleague 同事

  close (to) (adv.)接近于,靠近

  When they lose a few contracts because they talk with their mouth full, or when they say “Bob” to someone who should be “Mr.Johnson,” these grown-up kids, because of their ignorance, will never understand why others are getting ahead and they are not.

  本句翻譯:當(dāng)這些已經(jīng)變成了成人的大小伙子,因?yàn)楦I(lǐng)導(dǎo)談話時(shí)嘴里還嚼著食物,或者因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)大沒(méi)小,把本應(yīng)尊稱為“約翰遜先生”的人,隨便直呼其名為“鮑博”,這樣幾次被解除了合同之后,他們永遠(yuǎn)也不能理解為什么別人都跑到自己前頭飛黃騰達(dá),而自己卻不能。

  they talk with 該句型結(jié)構(gòu)為:with +(n.)+(a.)構(gòu)成的獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu),在句中作狀語(yǔ),表示伴隨。(名詞后除可用形容詞外,還可用分詞<現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞、介詞短語(yǔ)和副詞。)

  Why do we need an edge? Success in life often starts with a job we like, and since getting a job is usually based on making the right impression, it is always a good idea to be kind and polite.

  本句翻譯:我們要占優(yōu)勢(shì)干什么?一個(gè)人一生事業(yè)的成功經(jīng)常是始于我們所喜歡的工作,而要得到自己所喜歡的工作,經(jīng)常要靠給人留下良好的印象。待人和藹可親彬彬有禮總是上策。
