英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力材料《學(xué)生的壓力大多來(lái)自父母》
在現(xiàn)代，學(xué)生的壓力越來(lái)越大，但是學(xué)生的壓力其實(shí)又往往多來(lái)自他們的父母。為什么呢?你怎么看這種壓力?下面，也許這篇英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力材料會(huì)給我們一些啟示。
Students pressure sometimes comes from their parents. Most parents are well meaning, but some of them arent very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in adjusting to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their childrens difficulties.
學(xué)生的壓力有時(shí)來(lái)自于父母。大多數(shù)的父母都是善意的，但是有些父母面對(duì)子女在適應(yīng)大學(xué)生活中所碰到的問(wèn)題時(shí)毫無(wú)幫助，少部分父母似乎不遺余力地給他們的子女增添了困難。
For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They dont realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change. Accustomed to seeing As and Bs on high school report cards, they may be upset when their childrens first semester college grades are below that level. At theire kindest, they may gently inquire/ enquire why John or Mary isnt doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten to take their children out of college, or cut off funds.
一方面，父母常常意識(shí)到他們的孩子所遇到的問(wèn)題。他們沒(méi)有料想到競(jìng)爭(zhēng)越來(lái)越激烈，工作的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)越來(lái)越高，他們的孩子或許還沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備好迎接這種改變。家長(zhǎng)習(xí)慣于看到孩子在高中成績(jī)單上的A或B的分?jǐn)?shù)，所以當(dāng)孩子在大學(xué)第一學(xué)期的成績(jī)低于原來(lái)的分?jǐn)?shù)時(shí)，他們或許會(huì)感到不安。最好的情況是，他們或許會(huì)溫柔地詢問(wèn)為什么約翰或瑪麗沒(méi)有做得更好，他(她)是否足夠努力了，等等。最糟的情況是，他們或許會(huì)威脅讓孩子退學(xué)或是切斷他們的收入。
Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves and think it only right and natural that they determine what their children do with their children, they forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way. They forget that their children, who are now young adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are.
有時(shí)父母會(huì)把孩子視為自身的延續(xù)，認(rèn)為由他們來(lái)決定孩子該如何生活是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)和自然而然的事情。他們和孩子緊密聯(lián)系，視為一體，因而忘了人與人其實(shí)各不相同，每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該按照自己的方式發(fā)展。他們忘了他們的孩子已經(jīng)是成年人，應(yīng)該對(duì)自己的所作所為以及他們是誰(shuí)而負(fù)責(zé)。

Man and Nature
人與自然
The intimacy between man and Nature began with the birth of man on the earth, and becomes each century more intelligent and far reaching. To Nature, therefore, we turn as to the oldest and mostinfluential teacher of our race; from one point of view once our task master, now our servant; from another point of view, our constant friend, instructor and inspirer. The very intimacy of this relation robs it of a certain mystery and richness which it would have for all minds if it were the reward of the few instead of being the privilege of the many. To the few it is, in every age, full of wonder and beauty; to the many it is a matter of course. The heavens shine for all, but they have a changingsplendor to those only who see in every midnight sky a majesty of creative energy and resource which no repetition of the spectacle can dim. If the stars shone but once in a thousand years, men would gaze, awe struck and worshipful, on a vision which is not less but more wonderful because it shines nightly above the whole earth. In like manner, and for the same reason, we become indifferent to that delicately beautiful or sublimely impressive sky scenery which the clouds form and reform, compose and dissipate, a thousand times on a summer day. The mystery, the terror, and the music of the sea; the secret and subduing charm of the woods, so full of healing for the spent mind or the restless spirit; the majesty of the hills, holding in their recesses the secrets of light and atmosphere; the infinite variety of landscape, never imitative or repetitious, but always appealing to the imagination with some fresh and unsuspected loveliness; - who feels the full power of thesemarvelous resources for the enrichment of life, or takes from them all the health, delight, andenrichment they have to bestow?
從地球上人類(lèi)出現(xiàn)開(kāi)始，人與自然之間的密切關(guān)系也隨之誕 生，而且這種關(guān)系每一世紀(jì)都比以前變得更為明智而深 遠(yuǎn)。因此，我們求助于自然，并把自然視為人類(lèi)的最年長(zhǎng)和最有 影響力的老師。從某一種觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看，自然曾經(jīng)一度是我們的監(jiān) 工，現(xiàn)在卻變?yōu)槲覀兊呐�。但從另一種觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看，自然一直是 我們的最忠實(shí)的朋友、導(dǎo)師和啟發(fā)者。這種和諧緊密的關(guān)系，如 果僅僅是少數(shù)人的特權(quán)，而大多數(shù)人并不能享有，那便會(huì)在人們心目中引發(fā)一種神秘和情趣。但是事實(shí)上，這種親密關(guān)系是被 天下所有的人共同享有的，這就使得這和諧緊密的關(guān)系失去神 秘感和情趣。對(duì)于少數(shù)人來(lái)講，這種關(guān)系在每個(gè)時(shí)代都充滿了奇妙和美好;對(duì)于多數(shù)人來(lái)講，這種關(guān)系只是理所當(dāng)然的一件 事。天空照耀著每一個(gè)人，但是只有在少數(shù)人的心目中具有一 種變化多端的壯麗，他們?cè)诿恳粋�(gè)午夜的`天空都能看到一種蘊(yùn) 含著創(chuàng)造性的能力的莊嚴(yán)肅穆之美，無(wú)論那種景象重復(fù)多少次， 都不會(huì)使那種美模糊不清。如果星辰一千年才照耀一次大地， 人們將懷著敬畏尊崇的心情凝視那種美景，而那種美景如果夜 夜在全世界的上空出現(xiàn)，不但不會(huì)減損，反而更為增加它的奇妙。同樣，基于相同的原因，我們對(duì)于夏曰天空的那種由浮云聚 散飄忽所形成的一曰之間千變?nèi)f化的纖巧秀麗或壯麗動(dòng)人的景色，也都漠然置之。海洋的神秘、恐怖和韻律，有助于醫(yī)療疲憊 心靈和煩躁精神的森林所具有的奧妙和懾人魂魄的麂力;在其 幽深之處保有光與大氣之奧秘的山巒所呈現(xiàn)的莊嚴(yán)肅穆之美; 從不模仿或重復(fù)、永遠(yuǎn)以一種出人意料的新鮮的美麗來(lái)沖擊人 類(lèi)想象力的風(fēng)景變幻無(wú)窮——誰(shuí)能感受到這些奇異景物的全部 力量，或者能從它們那里得到它們所賜予的健康、快樂(lè)和豐美呢?
