大学英语4背诵段落翻译1

1 The mere fact that America still attracts millions of people is evidence that it is not in le aren't attracted to a place of s of decline are sure to be found in a place as complex as America:debt,crime,the homeless,drugs, the main characteristic of America,the first and most enduring impression,is dynamism,energy,aggressiveness,forward movement.

仅看美国依然吸引着千百万人这一事实就足以证明美国并未衰落。人们不会被吸引到一个衰落的地方。在美国这样一个错综复杂的国家，当然能看到衰落的迹象，如债务、犯罪活动、无家可归者、吸毒、逃避现实社会的人。但美国的主要特征，亦即它给人的最初的、最持久的印象，却是充满活力、生机勃勃、不断进取、积极向上。

2 It is so hard to think of this nation in decline when you know that there are vast regions of the planet which are absolutely paralyzed,incapable of any improvement at all.

如果你知道世界上有广大地区完全处于瘫痪状态，无法取得任何进步时，那就难以想象这个国家在衰落。

3 It is difficult for me to agree with Paul Kennedy's thesis in The Rise and Fall of Great Powers that America must inevitably follow historical 's the way history used to be--all powerful nations declined and gave way to other maybe there is another way to look at what is happening.I have a sense that what is going on here concerns much more than the fate of a nation.

我很难同意保罗·肯尼迪在《列强之兴衰》中的论点，即美国将不可避免地重蹈历史覆辙。历史一直如此循环—强国衰落，为新兴的帝国所取代。但或许我们能从另外一个角度看待正在发生的一切。我有种感觉，这个国家正在发生的一切不仅仅关乎一国之命运。

4 It may be that the Euro-centered American nation is declining as it gives way to a new Pacific civilization that will include,but not be limited to,orically speaking,America may not decline,but instead fuse with the Pacific culture to create a kind of vast Pacific collage,a mix of Hispanic and Asian cultures linked through the most modern communication technologies.

以欧洲为中心的美国或许是在衰落，正由一个新的太平洋文化所取代，这一文化包括但并不局限于美国。从历史的角度来看，美国或许不会衰落，相反，它将与太平洋文化相融合，创建一种广泛的太平洋拼盘文化，一种依靠最现代的通讯技术连接的拉丁文化与亚洲文化的混合文化。

1 For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen.I do not know very much about them.I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right.I think they must have small insight or great my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.

三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

2 These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years.I knew him very little,but he interested me because once he gave me a great ss I had heard the story from his own lips,I should never have believed that he was capable of such an was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite if ever was a man all of a was a tiny little fellow,not much more than five feet four in height,and very slender,with white hair,a red face much wrinkled,and blue eyes.I suppose he was about sixty when I knew was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.

我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。他是个商人，在日本经商多年。我跟他并不熟，但是对他挺有兴趣，因为有一次他让我大吃一惊。要不是听他亲口讲述这个故事，我根本不会相信他能做出这种事来。这件事之所以特别令人惊讶，是因为无论是外表还是风度，他都让人想到一种非常明确的类型。要说真有表里如一的人的话，那就是此公了。他个子很小，身高不过5英尺4英寸，身材纤细，白头发、蓝眼睛，红红的脸上布满皱纹。我估计自己认识他时，他大约有60岁光景。他向来衣着整洁素雅，合乎他的年龄和身份。

3 Though his offices were in Kobe,Burton often came down to Yokohama.I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there,waiting for a ship,and I was introduced to him at the British played bridge played a good game and a generous did not talk very much,either then or later when we were having drinks,but what he said was had a quiet,dry seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards,when he had gone,they described him as one of the happened that we were both staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him.I met his wife,fat,elderly,and smiling,and his two was evidently a united and affectionate family.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his e was something very pleasing in his mild blue voice was gentle;you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger;his smile was was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail,he could tell with point a good and spicy story,and in his youth he had been something of an was a rich man and he had made every penny himself.I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail;he aroused your instincts of felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.

伯顿的办事处设在神户，但他常常到横滨来。有一次，我正好因为等船，要在那里呆几天，在英国俱乐部经人介绍与他相识。我们在一起玩桥牌。他打得不错，牌风也好。无论在玩牌的时候，还是在后来一起喝酒的时候，他的话都不多，但说的话却都合情合理。他挺幽默，但并不咋呼。他在俱乐部里似乎人缘不错，后来，在他走了以后，人家都说他是个顶呱呱的人。事有凑巧，我们俩都住在格兰德大酒店。第二天他请我吃饭。我见到了他的太太――一位肥肥胖胖、满面笑容的半老妇人――和他的两个女儿。这显然是和睦恩爱的一家人。我想，伯顿当时给我印象最深的主要还是他这个人和善。他那双温和的蓝眼睛有种令人愉快的神情。他说话的声音轻柔;你无法想象他会提高嗓门大发雷霆;他的笑容和蔼可亲。这个人吸引你，是因为你从他身上感到他对别人的真正的爱。同时他也喜欢玩牌，喝鸡尾酒，他能绘声绘色地讲个来劲儿的段子什么的，他年轻时多少还是个运动员呢。他是个阔佬，但他的每一个便士都是自己挣来的。我想，人们喜欢他还有一个原因，那就是他非常瘦小、脆弱，容易引起人们的恻隐之心。你觉得他甚至连只蚂蚁都不忍伤害。
