(sibling: 兄弟姐妹)相反，根據(jù)海倫莫頓的研究，太平洋島國(guó)湯加的兒童經(jīng)常挨父母和哥哥姐姐的打。 They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality of social petence. 人們認(rèn)為兒童和成年人相比更像瘋子，因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)狈Ρ淮蠹铱粗氐纳鐣?huì)能力。They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted at, or beaten. 小孩子經(jīng)常因?yàn)楸渴直磕_而挨罵，他們連摔跤都會(huì)被嘲笑、呵斥，甚至被打。 Children are thought of as mischievous。 they cry or want to feed simply because they are naughty. (mischievous: 淘氣)人們認(rèn)為兒童很頑皮，都是因?yàn)樘詺馑麄儾趴摁[，或者要東西吃。Beatings are at their most severe between the ages of three and five when children are seen as particularly wilful. (wilful: 任性的)在大人看來(lái)，三至五歲的兒童尤其任性，因此他們打這個(gè)年齡段的孩子也打得最狠。Parents believe that social petence can only be achieved through discipline and physical punishment, and treat their children in ways that have seemed very harsh to outsiders. (discipline: 訓(xùn)導(dǎo) harsh: 嚴(yán)厲)父母?jìng)兿嘈?，只有靠?xùn)導(dǎo)和體罰才能使孩子獲得社會(huì)能力，所以他們用一種在外人看來(lái)非常嚴(yán)厲的方式對(duì)待孩子。中譯英1 (fascination。 roar。 marvel at)在火車(chē)站上，有一位老人給我講述了他參加解放戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的經(jīng)歷，那些戰(zhàn)斗故事對(duì)我有著極大的吸引力。At the railway station, an old man told me his experience in the Liberation War, the fighting stories of which were of great fascination to me.后來(lái)他上了車(chē)，列車(chē)從我身邊隆隆地開(kāi)走了。可那些故事仍然是那么清晰可見(jiàn)，對(duì)于英雄們的壯舉，我欽佩不已。Then he got up on the train and it roared past me. But the stories were so real and definite that I greatly marveled at the courageous deeds of those war heroes。（courageous：勇敢的 marvel at：驚嘆）2 (consumption。 impose。 take exception to。 prompt)行之有效的環(huán)保政策不僅能創(chuàng)造良好的生態(tài)環(huán)境，還能大大降低能源消耗。Effective environmental policy might bring about a good environment, as well as reducing energy consumption.回顧這個(gè)地區(qū)近年來(lái)的發(fā)展情況，我們驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)地區(qū)政府強(qiáng)制實(shí)行的環(huán)保政策沒(méi)有受到任何批評(píng)。Looking back on the recent development of this region, we find, to our pleasant surprise, that little exception has been taken to the environmental policy of the local government.（exception: 異議）政策還促使居民增強(qiáng)了環(huán)保意識(shí)，盡其所能節(jié)約能源。Policy has also raised the environmental awareness of the local residents and prompted them to save energy as possible as they could.（resident：居民 prompt: 促進(jìn)）Unit3英譯中1 Listen to each theme, one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. (mirror: 映射)依次地、一個(gè)個(gè)地聽(tīng)聽(tīng)其中的每一個(gè)主題，你很快就會(huì)意識(shí)到每個(gè)主題都反映了一個(gè)不同的情感世界。You will also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will describe it to your plete satisfaction. 你很快也會(huì)意識(shí)到你越覺(jué)得某個(gè)主題美妙，就越難找到令你完全滿意的字眼來(lái)描述它。Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad one. 是的，你當(dāng)然知道那個(gè)主題是歡快的還是悲傷的。You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotional feeling around your theme. 換句話說(shuō)，你能夠在腦海中勾勒出那個(gè)主題的情感框架。Now study the sad one a little closer. Try to pin down the exact quality of its sadness. (pin down: 確定 exact：準(zhǔn)確的)那么就更仔細(xì)地聽(tīng)一下這個(gè)悲傷的主題吧，要明確悲傷的性質(zhì)。Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad。 is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?是悲觀厭世的悲傷，還是無(wú)可奈何的悲傷？是時(shí)運(yùn)不濟(jì)的悲傷，還是強(qiáng)顏歡笑的悲傷？Indeed, the unexplainable lack of background information may even contribute to the worldwide popularity the painting enjoys.實(shí)際上，這種無(wú)法解釋的背景資料的缺失甚至?xí)沟迷摦?huà)更受歡迎。 With so much mystery, the painting has been the theme of first, a novel and later, a film. 正因?yàn)槿绱松衩?，這幅畫(huà)先是成了一部小說(shuō)的主題，而后又被一部電影所采納。They attempt to answer some of the questions about the painting, as well as one, which is immediately more appropriate to the medium of the novel or the film: Are her wide eyes and enigmatic halfsmile innocent or seductive? (enigmatic: 神秘的 seductive：誘惑的)它們都試圖揭開(kāi)有關(guān)這幅畫(huà)的一些謎題，其中一個(gè)是：女孩那雙睜得大大的眼睛，以及那一絲神秘的微笑，到底是天真還是誘惑？像小說(shuō)或電影這類(lèi)媒介更適合作出回答。中譯英1 (pin down。 guarantee)隨著婚禮的臨近，蘇珊變得非常焦慮。她說(shuō)不清楚是什么讓自己如此煩惱。As the wedding
