Unit1
Summary
1.
人们常说骄兵必败。拿破仑和希特勒在俄罗斯的失败就是典型的例子。
2. 1812
年，拿破仑率领大军入侵俄罗斯。他自信会马到
成功，预言
5
周内攻下俄国。
3.
然而他未能料到会在莫斯科遭遇劲敌
---
俄罗斯的严冬，从而以失败告终。
4. 1941
年，希特勒不宣而战，对苏联发动袭击。他希望
速战速决，预计
3
个月结束战役。
5.
但是，他犯下了同样的致命错误
---
低估了俄罗斯冬季的严酷，而付出了惨重的代价。
6.
任何军事行动都必须考虑到自然因素。对俄罗斯人民而言
，严冬是他们的冰雪卫士。
1.
They
say
that
pride
comes
before
a
fall.
The
failure
of
Napoleon’s
and Hitler’s
invasions
of
Russia is a good case in point.
2. In 1812, Napoleon led his Grand Army
into Russia. Confident of a quick victory, he
predicted
the conquest of Russia in
five weeks.
3. But he was not prepared
for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow
---the severity of
Russian winter. Thus
he ended in failure.
4.
In
1941,
without
a
declaration
of
war,
Hitler
began
an
invasion
of
the
Soviet
Union.
He
expected a short campaign
---to last no longer than 3 months.
5.
But he made the same vital mistake
---underestimated the severity of Russian winter,
and took a
toll on his invading army.
6. The elements of nature must be
reckoned with in any military campaign. For the
Russian people,
the winter was an icy
defender.
Translation
攻势已经持续了三天，
但是我们并没有取得多少进展。
我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了
强力的抵抗。师长（
d
ivision commander
）命令我们营（
batt
alion
）绕到敌人后方发起突然袭
击。然而，要绕到敌人后
方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地（
marshland
）
。
我们很多人担心会
陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。我们在夜幕掩护下出发，不顾困难，奋勇向前。幸
运的是，夜间气温突然下降到摄氏零下
20
度，烂泥地都结上
了冰。由于这寒冷的天气，我
们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。
< br>这一下扭转了战局。
敌人没有戒备，
不久便投降了。
The
offensive
had
already
lasted
three
days,
but
we
had
not
gained
much
ground.
Our
troops
engaging
the
enemy
at
the
front
were
faced
with
strong
/fierce
/stiff
resistance.
The
division
commander
instructed our battalion to get around to the rear
of the enemy and launch a surprise
attack. To do so, however, we had to
cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we
might get
bogged down in the mud.
Our
battalion
commander
decided
to
take
a
gamble.
We
started
under
cover
of
darkness
and
pressed
on
in
spite
of
great
difficulties.
By
a
stroke
of
luck,
the
temperature
at
night
suddenly
dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and
the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather,
we
arrived at our destination before
dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear.
This turned
the tide of battle. The
enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.

汽车工业
---20
世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业，将感受到计算机革命的影响。
The automobile industry, the
most lucrative and powerful industry of the 20th
century, is about to
feel the effects
of the computer revolution.
2.
首先，
智能汽车已经制造出来，
它们能监控行车过程以及附近行车状况，
从而消除绝大多
数汽车事故。
First,
smart
cars
have
already
been
built,
which
can
monitor
one
’
s
driving
and
the
driving
conditions nearby,
thus eliminating most of the car accidents.
3.
其次
，有了全球卫星定位系统，驾驶员能确定准确的方位，
并得知交通路况，以免迷路和
陷入交通堵塞。
Second,
with GPS, drivers can determine the precise
location and learn about driving conditions to
avoid getting lost and getting stuck in
traffic.
4.
除此之外，
远程信息学最终将把智能汽车送上智能高速公路，
在计算机的控
制下，
一齐行

Besides,
“
Telemat
ics
”
will
eventually attempt to put smart cars on smart
highways, on which
cars, controlled by
computer, will travel in unison.
5.
总之，智能汽车能节约燃油，减少交通堵塞，降低空气污染，增加高速公路车流量。
In
a
word,
smart
cars
could
save
fuel,
reduce
traffic
jams,
decrease

1)
在人类历史上，所有的强国最终往往衰落，并且为新兴的
帝国所取代。
2)
但是，美国现在
并没有落败。因为美国新型的社会模式与以往的大相径庭。
3)
这个国家正在通过融合太平洋文化、拉丁文化和亚洲文化
创造一种拼盘式的文化。
4)
一个
典型的城市就是洛杉矶。在这里，如此众多的种族、民族和文化正在同时创建一个
多元文
化的社会。
5)
因此，在美国每一
个人都有尝试的机会。这便构成了这个国家发展的潜力。
