一、全真试题

In less than30years time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brains nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments,allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall.

(71)There will be television chat shows hosted by robots,and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend.(72)Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips,computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools,relaxation will be in front of smell-television,and digital age will have arrived.

According to BT s futurologist,Ian Pearson,these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1000years),when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.

(73)Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds or key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine,including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040.

Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links. “By linking directly to our nervous system,computers could pick up what we feel and,hopefully,simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments,rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,”, he says.(74)But that,Pearson points out,is only the start of man-machine integration:”It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human befo re the end of the next century.”

Through his research,Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However,there are still no forecasts for when faster-that-light travel will be available,or when human cloning will be perfected,or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will,for example,cause problems in2010,while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids.(75)And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage.

二、翻译题解

(71)Therewill betelevision chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitorsthatwill disablethem when they offend.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:分词,标点符号,连词

There will be television chat shows// hosted by robots//, and cars with pollution monitors// that will disable them// when they offend.

解析:

1)主干结构是带双主语的存在句:There will be television chat shows..., and cars...

2)两个主语都带有定语:第一个主语television chat shows的定语是过去分词短语hosted by robots,第二个主语cars的定语是介词短语with pollution monitors。

3)定语从句that will disable them修饰的先行词是pollution monitors,最后一个从句when they offend是定语从句中的状语从句。

词的处理:

television chat shows hosted by robots由机器人主持的电视谈话节目,重点词hosted 主持

cars with pollution monitors装有污染监控器的汽车

disable them使汽车失灵(停止运行),them和they指代汽车

offend多义词(汽车)污染超标,违规

技巧点拨:

1)there be句型表存在,所以通常可以翻译为“有,出现”。另外,主句部分是将来时,由于汉语动词不具有人称、时态等变化,需要用增词法的翻译技巧,增加“将,届时。”

2)That will disable them :是定语从句,其先行词是pollution monitors(污染监控器)。首先这个定语从句后面有一个由when引导的时间状语从句,根据定语从句的翻译方法,可以放在后面直接翻译,但是需要重复先行词。其次,them指代的是上文的cars,可以翻译为“这些汽车”。最后谓语动词disable的基本意思是“使……残废,使……不能”。根据词义选择的翻译技巧,联系上下文的“监控器”和“这些汽车”,结合汉语习惯,就可以知道disable是“使这些汽车不能行使”。

3)When they offend:是时间状语从句。首先,作主语的代词they指代上文的cars,可以翻译为“这些汽车”。其次,offend通常是“冒犯”的意思,但是,这里显然不能够翻译为“冒犯”,可以根据词义选择的翻译技巧来分析。Offend的上文是“这些汽车”,再联系下文思考:这些汽车冒犯了什么呢?显然是“这些汽车”冒犯了“污染监控器”。所以,offend就可以翻译为“汽车污染超标”。

完整译文:

届时,将出现由机器人主持的电视谈话节目以及装有污染监控器的汽车,一旦这些汽车排污超标(违规),监控器就会使其停驶。

(72)Childrenwill playwith dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with in-built personalitieswill be regardedas workmates rather than tools, relaxationwill bein front of smell- television,anddigital agewill have arrived.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:标点符号,并列连词

Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, // computers with

in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, // relaxation will be in front of smell-television, and digital age will have arrived.

解析:

1)主干结构是几个并列的简单句:Children will play with dolls..., computers...will be regarded as..., relaxation will be in front of..., and digital age will have arrived.

2)dolls带有过去分词短语equipped with personality chips做定语,computers 的后置定语是介词短语with in built personalities,personalities等于personality chips,宾语workmates rather than tools是并列结构,表示选择。

词的处理:

dolls equipped with personality chips装有个性芯片的玩具娃娃

personality个性,性格

computers with in built personalities个性内置的计算机

rather than而不是

relaxation休闲、放松、娱乐、消遣

smell television气味电视机

digital age数字化时代

技巧点拨:

1)will be regared as:根据翻译的方法,这个被动结构可以从用直接翻译为汉语的“被”字结构的方法来处理。

2)relaxation will be in front of smell-television。其中relaxation是“休闲、放松”的意思。这样这个句子就可以翻译为“休闲将在气味电视前”,但是这个译文显然不符合汉语的表达习惯。由于relexation这个词在英语中是名词,可是“休闲,放松”在汉语中,更多是动词。所以根据翻译里词性转换的技巧,把relaxation翻译为汉语的动词,然后根据增词法的翻译技巧,增加一个表示泛指的主语“人们、大家”等。

完整译文:

儿童将与装有个性芯片的玩具娃娃玩耍,具有个性内置的计算机将被视为工作伙伴而不是工具,人们将在气味电视机前休闲,届时数字化时代就来到了。

(73)Pearsonhas piecedtogether the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendarthatgivesthe latest dateswhenwecan expecthundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:动词不定式,连词

Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world, // to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates // when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.

解析:

1)主句是简单句,to produce是结果状语。

2)calendar后面的that...是定语从句。

3)后面的when引导的也是定语从句,不是时间状语。

4)to take place作前面名词的定语。

词的处理:

Pearson皮尔森(人名音译)

pieced together汇集;综合

around the world世界各地,全世界

produce编制

a unique millennium technology calendar一个独特的技术千年历

the latest dates最迟日期

key breakthroughs重大突破,关键性突破

技巧点拨:

1)That gives the latest dates是that引导的定语从句,修饰calendar。首先,这个that引导的定语从句里面还有一个when引导的定语从句,修饰dates.根据定语从句的翻译方法,可以把这个that引导的定语从句直接翻译在其先行词后面,采用重复先行词,或用代词代替先行词的方法。

2)when引导的定语从句可置于先行词dates之前进行翻译,而其中的动词不定式,to take place是“发生”的意思,它做定语修饰hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries。这样的定语从句可以翻译为“我们期望的将要发生的数百项重大突破和发现”。这个汉语译文显得有些累赘,“期望的”事情就是“将来的事情”。所以可以采取省略法的翻译技巧,把动词短语to take place省略不译。

完整译文:

皮尔森汇集世界各地数百位研究人员的成果,编制了一个独特的技术千年历,它列出了人们有望看到数百项重大突破和发现的最迟日期。

(74)But that, Pearson points out,isonly the start of man-machine integration: Itwill bethe beginning of the long process of integrationthatwill ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:标点符号,连词

But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: //It will be the beginning of the long process of integration // that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.

解析:

1)主干结构是that... is only the start of...系表结构

2)beginning后面有多重定语:两个of短语和一个that will ultimately lead to 定语从句。

3)Pearson points out插入语,翻译时放在句首。

4)在the long process of integration结构中,integration前省略了定语man-machine,翻译时要补出。

5)lead to a fully electronic human动词和宾语之间意思省略,翻译时要加词

词的处理:

that代词作主语,指代上文的“breakthrough”

a breakthrough突破,一定要译出

the start of manmachine integration人机一体化的开始

lead to引起出现,导致产生

a fully electronic human完全电子化的仿真人,完全的电子人

before the end of the next century在下世纪末之前

技巧点拨:

1)本句的第一个that要找对其正确的指代,通过返回原文,不难发现,that所指代的是breakthrough。

2)本句第二个that引导定语从句,修饰前面的beginning。根据翻译的方法,可以直接翻译在先行词的后面。

完整译文:

皮尔森指出,这个突破仅仅是人机一体化的开始:“它是人机一体化漫长之路的第一步,最终会使人们在下世纪末之前就研制出完全电子化的仿真人。”

(75)And home applianceswillalsobecomeso smartthatcontrolling and operating themwill resultin the breakout of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:连词,介词短语

And home appliances will also become so smart // that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout //of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage.

解析:

句子主干结构是:home appliances will also become so smart that...,关键是找出so...that...:如此……以至于(结果状语从句)……。

词的处理:

home appliances家用电器

smart聪明,智能化

result in the breakout of引发,导致,出现

psychological disorder心理混乱(失调)

kitchen rage厨房狂燥症,厨房愤怒

技巧点拨:

1)smart在此翻译为“聪明”是正确的,但是不太符合汉语的习惯。根据词义选择的技巧,联系上下文的home applicance(家用电器),可以进一步调整为“智能化”。

2)the breakout of a new psychological disorder其中,of a new a psychological disorder是介词短语,可以直接翻译为“一种新的心理疾病”。这个介词短语修饰breakout (爆发),所以组合的时候,可以放到breakout之前翻译。整合一下就是:新的心理疾病的爆发。这个汉语译文显得有些累赘,因为,“导致一种新的心理疾病”在语义上已经很通顺完整了。所以可以进一步调整为:一种新的心理疾病。

3)kitchen rage是对psychological disorder的进一步解释。这里kitchen rage如果直接翻译为“厨房生气,厨房愤怒”的话是正确的,可以接受。其实联系上下文就知道,这里的kitchen rage是在解释psychological disorder(心理疾病),它既然是一种“心理疾病”,我们就可以根据汉语习惯进一步翻译为“厨房狂躁症”,说明它是一种疾病。

完整译文:

家用电器将会变得如此智能化,以至于控制和操作它们会引发一种新的心理疾病--厨房狂燥症。

三、参考译文

再过不到30年“星球旅行”太空平台将成为现实。大脑神经系统与计算机的直接连接也将创造出完全传感的实际环境,使得实际的度假和电影“全面回顾”中的度假一模一样。

(71)届时,将出现由机器人主持的电视谈话节目以及装有污染监控器的汽车,一旦这些汽车排污超标(违规),监控器就会使其停驶。(72)儿童将与装有个性化芯片的玩具娃娃玩耍,具有个性内置的计算机将被视为工作伙伴而不是工具,人们将在气味电视前休闲,届时数字时代就来到了。

根据英国电讯公司的未来学家伊恩·皮尔森的看法,上述种种科研成就均属新千年的最初几十年内的开发项目之列,届时超级计算机将大大加快人类生活各个领域里的进步。

(73)皮尔森汇集世界各地数百位研究人员的成果,编制了一个独特的技术千年历,它列出了人们有望看到达数百项重大突破和发现的最迟日期。一些最重大的开发将会发生在医学中,其中包括延长人的估计寿命和从现在到2040年间将投入使用的几十种人造器官。

皮尔森预言了电脑与人各种连接的突破。通过直接与我们的神经系统相连接,电脑能够了解到我们的感情并且有望激发我们的情感,这样我们就能着手开发完全传感的环境,更类似于电影“全面回顾”或“星球旅行”太空平台中的度假。(74)但皮尔森指出,这个突破仅仅是人机一体化的开始:“它是人机一体化漫长之路的第一步,最终会使人们在下世纪末之前就研制出完全电子化的仿真人。”

经过研究,皮尔森确定可以预测到的大多数突破的日期。然而,仍然不能预报快于光速的旅行何时到来,或何时将完成克隆人,或何时可以实现遨游过去或将来的时间旅行。但皮尔森确实预料到技术进步所引起的社会问题。例如,邻里电子监控摄像机的飞速推广将在2010年引起许多社会问题,而栩栩如生的人造机器人的问世将意味着人们可能无法把他们的真人朋友和这类机器人区别开来。(75)家用电器将会变得如此智能化,以至于控制和操作它们会引发一种新的心理疾病——厨房狂躁症。

2000——2001英语考研翻译真题及解析

2000 第一段 Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. 71) Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts. 72) Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example, the may encourage research in various ways, including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science, economics and industry. In any case, all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds.

1998 年全国硕士研究生入学考试英语试题文章翻译 Part I (略) Part II Cloze Test 直到最近,大多数的历史学家对工业革命仍然颇有微词。尽管他们承认从长远角度讲,工业革命已大大地提高了一般人的生活水平。然而他们坚持认为,工业革命在1750和1850年间引起的直接结果是给英国大多数人民带来了普遍的贫穷和苦难。相比之下,他们把在此之前从1650到1750的一百年看成是一个繁荣富足的时期。尽管那个时候英国还是一个完全意义上的农业国家。 然而,人们通常认为这种观点是错误的。历史和经济学专家已指出两件事情:一是1650至1750年间以显著的贫困为特征;二是工业革命不但没有加重这种贫困,反而使绝大多数人的生活得到了改善。 Part ⅢReading Comprehension Passage 1 很少有像巨型大坝那样的伟大成果如此吸引人们。也许是因为人们倍受洪水和干旱的摆布,所以驾驭洪水的想法特别地强烈。但是被吸引有时也意味着盲目,有几个巨型大坝工程就有弊大于利的危险。 大坝给人们的教训是大的不一定就是好的。但这个教训并没有阻止建立巨大而强劲的大坝,它们已经成为国家成就和人们努力表现自己的象征。埃及由于建造了阿斯旺大坝而巩固了在阿拉伯世界中的领导地位。土耳其在力图进人第一世界的努力中也包括了修建Ataturk大坝。 但是大坝不会像预期的那样产生效果。例如,阿斯旺大坝阻止了尼罗河的洪水泛滥,但也使埃及失去了洪水带来的肥沃的淤泥——这些损失的所有回报仅仅是一个充满了病患的大水库,它现在沉积了如此多的淤泥,以致于发不出电了。 但是,控制洪水的神话仍在继续。本周,在文明的欧洲的中心,斯洛伐克与匈牙利就是为了多瑙河上的一座大坝引起争端,差点动用了军队。这个巨大的工程可能会带来其他大坝通常造成的问题。但斯洛伐克正在要求脱离捷克而独立,因此需要建一座大坝来证明自己的实力。 与此同时,尽管银行的顾问们说大坝将给普通大众的生活带来困苦和环境的破坏,但世界银行还是贷款给印度修建Narmada大坝,这事后被证明是个大错。受益的是权力阶层,但也无法保证。 对大坝造成的影响和控制洪水的成本和收益进行恰当而科学的研究才能帮助解决这些冲突。即使不修建这些巨型大坝,水利发电、洪水控制和农田灌溉也都是可能做到的,但是当你相信神话的时候,你就很难做到合理和科学,世界应

2010 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)试题答案与解析 Section I Use of English 一、文章题材结构分析 本文是取材于新闻报道,叙述了猪流感的爆发,产生的严重影响以及政府采取的针对性措施。首段和第二段简 述了猪流感的爆发引起世界各国的重视。第三段引用专家的观点,认为瘟疫并不严重。第四段和第五段以墨西哥及 美国的情况为例,说明了猪流感的严重性和致命性。第六段叙述了联邦政府针对猪流感的具体措施。 二、试题解析 1.【答案】D 【解析】上文提到“…was declared a global epidemic…”,根据declare 的逻辑(“宣布为”),可知应该选D 项 designated“命名,制定”,而不是C 项commented“评论”,这是典型的近义词复现题目。2.【答案】C 【解析】本题目可依据“句意”找到意思线索,选出答案,难度在于出处句是个长难句。本句的理解应该抓住alert、 meeting 和a sharp rise 三者的关系,根据after a sharp rise 可知是rise(“病例数的增加”)是meeting(“日内瓦专家 会议”)的原因,由此可推导出alert 并非是meeting 的原因,而是结果,即meeting 使得alert 升级。根据上述分析 可以排除B、D 选项,B 项activated“激活,激起”,D 项“促使,引起”,此两项的选择都在讲alert 导致了meeting 的召开。而C 项followed 意思是“紧随,跟在……之后”,体现出after 的逻辑,完全满足本句rise 之后是meeting, meeting 之后是alert 的逻辑,所以是正确项。而A 项proceeded“继续”,属不及物动词,不可接宾语,用法和逻辑 用在此处都不合适。 3.【答案】B 【解析】本题目应该关注并列连词and,从并列呼应来看:空格后的表达in Britain…对应前面的in Australia, 所以空格处rising _____ 应该对应a sharp rise in cases(“病例数的剧增”),因此空格处是“数量”的逻辑才对。A 项 digits“(阿拉伯)数字”,不表示数量,不能与rising 形成搭配;C 项amounts“数量”,常修饰不可数名词(此处指 的是cases,可数名词);D 项sums“金额,款项”,不能用于表达“病例数”。B 项numbers “数量”,修饰可数名词(如: large numbers of cases 大量的病例),符合题意。 4.【答案】A 【解析】此处句子开头的“But”是重要的逻辑线索,与上文意思(第二段)形成对比反差。上文的关键性表达 如“heightened alert”、“emergency meeting”和“a sharp rise in cases”都在讲述猪流感的严重性,所以根据But 和in

05 It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one's impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served to much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe .The Europe that is now forming cannot be anything other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. (47) In Europe, as elsewhere multi-media groups have been increasingly successful groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian example would be the Berlusconi group while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind. Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete complete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. (48) This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989. Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution. (49) Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice - that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own. In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank will handle the finances necessary for production costs. (50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say "Unity we stand, divided we fall" -and if I had to choose a slogan it would be "Unity in our diversity." A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominanceproved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Somehuge American industries, such as consumer electronics, hadshrunkor vanished in the faceof foreigncompetition.

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源:今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》),是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律,往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译,内容相对于阅读而言,相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言,有些难懂。 二、难度:5句话共151词,相当平稳。其中48题最长,35词;50题最简单,24词。可以说,不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分,不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点:今年的5句话中,有2句(46,48)是简单句,另外3句(47,49,50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译,并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以,中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中,定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解: 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组:out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉),by its nature(就其本质而言,从本质来说),uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析:整个句子是一个简单句,由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语,修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语,修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语,修饰character and destiny。 参考译文:这项运动,由多种强大的动机驱动,建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家,并且从本质上来讲,塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组:product(产物),principal(主要的;首要的),peoples(民族),impact(影响) 结构分析:句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces,破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语,修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语,修饰impact,其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits,修饰country。 参考译文:美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民,和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组:peculiar(特有的,独特的),interplay(互相影响),sheer(独特的) 结构分析:整个句子是简单句,主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担,谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中,of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置

2011年全国硕士研究生入学考试英语(一)试题文章翻译 Section I Use of English 古希腊哲学家亚里士多德把笑看作是“有益于身体健康的宝贵锻炼”。尽管有些相反的意见,但笑可能对身体健康影响极小。笑确实能对心脏和血管产生短期的改变,笑能够促进心律呼吸速率。但是因为大笑很难持续,一次狂笑不可能像比如走路或者慢跑那样对心血管功能产生很大的益处。 实际上,其他的锻炼可以拉紧增强肌肉,很显然笑确是起到了相反的作用,二十世纪三十年代的一项研究表明笑可以放松肌肉,在狂笑平息之后45分钟内会降低肌肉张力。 这样的身体放松可能会帮助减轻心理紧张状态的影响。笑的行为毕竟可能会产生其他形式的身体上的反馈来提高个体的情绪状态。根据一个经典的情绪理论,我们的感觉部分根源于身体上的反映。十九世纪末人们便争论这一说法:人们不会因为他们伤心而哭,但当开始 尽管悲伤能产生眼泪,证据显示情绪是肌肉反应的结果。1988年德国乌子堡大学的社会心理学家做了一个实验,他让志愿者用牙咬住一支笔做出假笑,或者用嘴含住一支笔,这个动作会让人产生一种失望的表情。那些被强制锻炼笑肌的人比那些嘴唇皱着表情失望的人在观看有趣的动画片时反应更加丰富,这暗示了表情可能会影响情绪,而不只是反过来情绪会影响表情。同样,笑这一生理行为可以改善心

Section II Reading Comprehension Part A Text 1 纽约爱乐乐团决定聘请Alan Gilbert作为下一任的音乐总监,这从2009年任命被宣布之日起就在古典音乐界引起了热议。别的不说,大部分人的反应是积极的。“好啊,终于好了!” Anthony Tommasini写道,他可是一个以严肃著称的古典音乐评论家。 但是,这个任命之所以引起人们惊讶的原因却是Gilbert相对而言并不是很有名。甚至在时代杂志上发文支持Gilbert任命的Tommasini都称其为“低调的音乐家,在他身上找不到那种飞扬跋扈的指挥家的气质。”爱乐乐团迄今为止都是由像Gustav Mahler和Pierre Boulez那样的音乐家领导的。这样去描述这个乐团的下一位 指挥,至少对于时代的读者而言,这是一种苍白的表扬。 就我看来,我不知道Gilbert是否是一个伟大的指挥家或者是一个好的指挥。但是我能确定的是,他能表演出很多有趣的乐章,但是我却应该不会去Avery Fisher Hall或者其他地方去听一场有趣的交响乐演出。我要做的事情就是去我的CD架上,或者打开的我的电脑 从iTunes上下载更多的唱片。 那些忠实的音乐会观众会讲唱片并不能代替现场的演出,但是他们忽略了核心问题。当下为了获得艺术爱好者的时间,关注度和金钱,
