We all know that cocaine is addictive. So is heroin. But actually power and money are addictive too. Those who get addicted to them are really very sick people.我們都知道可卡因是容易上癮的。海洛因也一樣。但實(shí)際上，權(quán)利和金錢也同樣使人上癮。那些上癮的人其實(shí)都是嚴(yán)重的病人。 have been advocating returning reclaimed land to rivers，lakes，marshes and meadows.科學(xué)家們一直在主張退耕還田，把新開墾的地還給江河湖泊，沼澤草地。 to many economists，it is not always a good idea for the government to bail out financially insolvent panies. Sometimes，a pany on the verge of bankruptcy is better allowed to go bankrupt.根據(jù)很多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的說法，政府挽救那些資不抵債的公司不一定是個(gè)好主意。有時(shí)一個(gè)處于破產(chǎn)邊緣的公司，最好就讓它破產(chǎn)。4. He has been caught redhanded. There is indisputable evidence that a whole chapter of his book was bodily lifted from a book written by another professor.他被逮了個(gè)正著。有無可辯駁的證據(jù)證明他書里整整一章是從另一個(gè)教授的書里原封不動(dòng)地抄襲過來的。5. Their government long since passed a law to ban the import and export of rare species of birds and animals. But the law is not easy to enforce.他們政府早已有法律禁止珍稀鳥類和獸類的進(jìn)出口。但是要實(shí)行該法律并不容易。6. It is hard to make young people believe nowadays that there was a time when Chinese women were banned from wearing skirts. Jeans，foreign movies and music were all forbidden.現(xiàn)在很難讓年輕人相信，曾經(jīng)有過這么一段時(shí)間，中國婦女被禁止穿裙子。牛仔褲、外國電影、音樂都被禁止了。7. In the darkness our ship hit a sudden rock，which left a gaping hole in the bottom. We all tried desperately to bail out the water，but the boat was sinking fast. Luckily a fishing boat was nearby and saved us from drowning.在黑暗中，我們的船觸礁了，船底留了個(gè)大洞。我們都拼命設(shè)法把水從船里弄出去，但船在快速下沉。幸虧附近有條漁船，使我們絕處逢生。 demonstrators demanded that economic sanctions be lifted immediately because they usually only hurt ordinary，innocent people.示威者要求立即取消經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁，因?yàn)樗ǔＶ粫?huì)傷害無辜的老百姓。 the meeting，both the advocates and opponents gave strong arguments，but most participants favored having further reforms placed on the agenda immediately.會(huì)上倡導(dǎo)者和反對(duì)者都擺出了有力的觀點(diǎn)。但大多數(shù)都贊成將進(jìn)一步的改革立即提上日程。Unit 7 environment：投資環(huán)境 society：原始社會(huì) situation：一觸即發(fā)的形勢(shì) decoration：內(nèi)部裝修5，parental approval：家長的認(rèn)可 agriculture：集約化（精耕細(xì)作）的農(nóng)業(yè) evidence：不足的證據(jù) system：免疫系統(tǒng) suppression：殘酷的鎮(zhèn)壓 modified food：轉(zhuǎn)基因食品 adolescents：不成熟的青少年 structure：平行結(jié)構(gòu) memory：揮之不去的記憶 music：憂傷的音樂 plan：復(fù)雜細(xì)致的計(jì)劃 advocate：提倡非暴力的人 effect：多米諾骨牌效應(yīng) disharmony：社會(huì)不和諧 identity：種族身份 relationship：人際關(guān)系1. Let’s face that no country can be immune to environmental problem. If we only pay lip service to environmental protection today，our eventual losses will far outweigh the present economic gains.讓我們面對(duì)事實(shí)：沒有任何國家能夠避免環(huán)境問題。如果我們今天對(duì)環(huán)保問題只是嘴上說說，那我們最后的損失就會(huì)大大超過現(xiàn)在的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。（face，immune，lip service，outweigh） the law to be respected and supported，it must be designed in such a way as to benefit the general public and must be vigorously enforced. Otherwise it will create a general contempt for the law and result in social instability.要想讓讓法律得到尊重和支持，他得被設(shè)計(jì)成對(duì)一般公眾有利，而且必須大力加以執(zhí)行。不然，就會(huì)造成對(duì)法律的普遍藐視，并且導(dǎo)致社會(huì)不安定。（respect，design，such，as to，benefit，enforce，contempt，result in）3. Political science tells us that it is a real paradox. If the government is too weak，it is useless；if it is too powerful，it begins to abuse power and bees corrupt. But no individual should ever be permitted to possess absolute power. Power must be restrained，shared and controlled.政治學(xué)告訴我們，這的確是一個(gè)悖論。如果政府太弱，它就毫無用處，但如果太強(qiáng)大，它就會(huì)開始濫用權(quán)力，變得腐敗。不過任何人都不該允許擁有絕對(duì)權(quán)力。權(quán)力必須有所約束，有所分享，有所控制。（paradox，abuse，corrupt，possess，restrain，share，control）4. I wish that our university can set the stage for our creative intellectual pursuits. I believe that natural curiosity is a greater power than discipline. I am also aware of the importance of creative reading—reading for pleasure，and being free from excessive assigned work.我希望我們的大學(xué)能提供一個(gè)讓我們創(chuàng)造性地學(xué)習(xí)與研究的舞臺(tái)。我相信天然的好奇心是比紀(jì)律要大得多的動(dòng)力。我還明白創(chuàng)造性閱讀的重要性—就是為享受其樂趣而閱讀，并且不必做過多的制定的作業(yè)。（wish，set the stage，pursuit，discipline，aware，free，excessive） I gazed at my dead brother’s picture，a haunting memory unfolded. I saw us lying，well after midnight，in the only double bed our sister had in the house，recalling our happy childhood，the time when we were surrounded by love and care，promising each other that we would go back to our hometown which we had not visited for half a century.我端詳著我已故哥哥的照片，那揮之不去的記憶又打開了。我看見我們深夜躺在姐姐家唯一的一張雙人床上，回顧快樂的童年，回顧生活在關(guān)愛中的日子，承諾對(duì)方要回一趟我們已半個(gè)世紀(jì)未歸的故鄉(xiāng)。（gaze，haunting，unfold，recall，surround）Unit 8 the curtain：拉起帷幕 the treatment：對(duì)此待遇耿耿于懷 the price：計(jì)算價(jià)格 one’s property：沒收財(cái)產(chǎn) ridicule：招來嘲笑 the boss：得罪老板 treason：犯叛國罪 the idea：打消這種想法 the dead：埋葬死者：宣告破產(chǎn)：挑戰(zhàn)權(quán)威 the rules：篡改規(guī)定 the decision：反對(duì)這個(gè)決定 murder：密謀暗殺 liver cancer：診斷為肝癌 the matter：使事情復(fù)雜化 a flagging spirit：使低落情緒重新振作起來 one’s childhood：重溫童年 the suspect：審問嫌疑犯 the power：切斷電源1. It is an utter waste of money and precious land must be out of their minds to turn such fertile farmland into golf courts for a few rich people.這完全是在浪費(fèi)金錢和寶貴的土地資源。他們真是瘋了，把這么肥沃的農(nóng)田變成少數(shù)有錢人的高爾夫球場(chǎng)。2. It’s utterly impossible to have plete safety with nuclear waste. Sooner or later some problem will occur. So unless we are ready to accept the inev
