【正文】 新視野大學(xué)英語（第三版）第二冊(cè)課后翻譯答案及原文Unit 1原文：English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.翻譯：人們普遍認(rèn)為英語是一種世界語言，經(jīng)常被許多不以英語為第一語言的國家使用。與其他語言一樣，英語也發(fā)生了很大的變化。英語的歷史可以分為三個(gè)主要階段：古英語，中古英語和現(xiàn)代英語。英語起源于公元5世紀(jì)，當(dāng)時(shí)三個(gè)日耳曼部落入侵英國，他們對(duì)英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀(jì)和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)初期，英語的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀(jì)初，它的影響力開始在世界各地顯現(xiàn)。歐洲幾百年的探險(xiǎn)和殖民過程導(dǎo)致了英語的重大變化。今天，由于美國電影、電視、音樂、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎，美國英語的影響力尤其顯著。 原文：中國書法（calligraphy）是一門獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)，是世界上獨(dú)一無二的藝術(shù)瑰寶。中國書法藝術(shù)的形成、發(fā)展與漢文字的產(chǎn)生與演進(jìn)存在著密不可分的關(guān)系。漢字在漫長(zhǎng)的演變發(fā)展過程中，一方面起著交流思想、繼承文化的重要作用，另一方面它本身又形成了一種獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)。書法能夠通過作品把書法家個(gè)人的生活感受、學(xué)識(shí)、修養(yǎng)、個(gè)性等折射出來，所以，通常有字如其人的說法。中國書法不僅是中華民族的文化瑰寶，而且在世界文化藝術(shù)寶庫中獨(dú)放異彩。翻譯：Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers39。 personal feelings, knowledge, selfcultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that seeing the calligrapher39。s handwriting is like seeing the person. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world39。s treasure house of culture and art. Unit 2 原文：A MOOC (massive open online course) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs are a recent development in distance education and have now bee a surging trend in higher education. These classes are aimed at expanding a university39。s reach from thousands of tuitionpaying students who live in town, to millions of students around the world. In addition to traditional course materials, MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support interactions between students and professors. MOOCs can encourage munication among participants who bring a variety of viewpoints, knowledge, and skills to the course。 inspire people to try on subjects that they wouldn39。t otherwise pursue or even try on education itself。 provide multiple ways to engage with course material, encouraging multimodal (多模式的) learning that can address the needs of learners with a variety of learning styles。 and inspire better teaching and use of technologies for facetoface courses.翻譯：慕課是一種網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程，它旨在通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)實(shí)現(xiàn)廣泛參與和開放接入。慕課是遠(yuǎn)程教育邁出的最新一步，現(xiàn)已在高等教育領(lǐng)域迅速引領(lǐng)潮流。通過這些課程，大學(xué)可以擴(kuò)大影響的范圍，從影響成千上萬住在城里付學(xué)費(fèi)的學(xué)生，擴(kuò)展到惠及全球上百萬的學(xué)生。除了擁有傳統(tǒng)的課程資料，慕課還給使用者提供互動(dòng)論壇，支持學(xué)生和講師之間的交流。慕課能夠促進(jìn)參與者之間的交流，使得多種觀點(diǎn)、知識(shí)和技能涌現(xiàn)到課堂上來；它鼓勵(lì)人們嘗試之前不可能嘗試的課程，甚至是嘗試新的教育方式；它提供多種學(xué)習(xí)課程資料的方式，鼓勵(lì)多模式學(xué)習(xí)，以各種學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)格滿足學(xué)習(xí)者的需求；另外，慕課促進(jìn)教學(xué)的改善，使技術(shù)在面對(duì)面授課中得以更好地應(yīng)用。原文：近年來，隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，我國的數(shù)字化教育資源建設(shè)取得了巨大的成就。很多高校建立了自己的數(shù)字化學(xué)習(xí)平臺(tái)，數(shù)字化教學(xué)在教育中發(fā)揮著越來越大的作用。和傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)方式相比，數(shù)字化教學(xué)方式有很大的優(yōu)勢(shì)。一方面，數(shù)字化教學(xué)使教學(xué)資源得以全球共享；另一方面，它拓展了學(xué)習(xí)者的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間和空間，人們可以隨時(shí)隨地通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)入數(shù)字化的虛擬學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)。這使得人類從接受一次性教育走向終身學(xué)習(xí)成為可能。翻譯：In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, the construction of dig
