1、考研英语（翻译）模拟试卷 3 及答案与解析Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points) 0 Though usually unintended and often unrecognized, much of behavioral science is a value-laden enterprise.【F1】Research questions that are regarded as appropr

2、iate or sensible at a particular point in time are usually situated within a matrix of cultural beliefs often widely accepted within the dominant population at large, but certainly within the scientific community more specifically. The issue of fatherhood is a case in point. Fatherhood is a cultural

3、 construction, and once formulated it has implications for the subsequent behavior of those who share the beliefs and assumptions defining that construction.【F2】The issue here is to understand the meanings commonly associated in the United States with the concepts of father, fatherhood, and fatherin

4、g and to recognize the constraints that are implicitly placed on ones behaviors as a result of accepting these meanings(i. e. , cultural construction)as being true. Of course, to understand fully the cultural construction of fatherhood, one must also understand its counterpoint, motherhood. And one

5、must also understand that both constructions are influenced by cultural conceptions of masculinity and femininity.【F3】It is not our intention here, however, to disentangle the maze of meanings and behavioral implications of all of these conceptions and relationships, but merely to acknowledge that t

6、hey exist. For now we want only to dwell on the cultural meaning of fatherhood in America in relation to motherhood and to explore the implications of this conception for behavioral science research on parent child relationships.For most Americans, the concepts father, fatherhood, and fathering appe

7、ar to connote very different domains of behavior and affect from the concepts mother, motherhood, and mothering.【 F4】Semantically, the cultural construction of “fathering,“ for example, implies nothing about father love as does the genderized equivalent of mother love that is contained semantically

8、in the construct “mothering. “ The word mothering elicits, for many, a warm, fuzzy, nurtured feeling, whereas the term fathering elicits feelings of something stronger, colder, harder, and less affectionate. The term father love is not used in everyday discourse, but mother love is. Even the phrase

9、“father love“ sounds strange to some, yet many feel comforted by “mother love“. Popular literature is filled with references to both mothering and parenting when referring to caregiving. But the term fathering is almost never used in this context. When used, the term is typically found in the contex

10、t of the question “Who begot whom?“ Even the gender-neutral term parent is often used or interpreted as being synonymous with mother.【F5】And we have found in our own teaching that studentsincluding advanced graduate studentsoften misread and even mishear the term paternal as being parental, which is

11、 then sometimes translated as maternal/mother.1 【F1】2 【F2】3 【F3】4 【F4】5 【F5】5 The slow greening of world opinion has focused thus far on the problems of the physical environment, notably climate change, pollution, and consumption of nonrenewable resources.【F1】Priority is granted to the short-term ne

12、eds of human beings, and that of course is as it should be. But might we now balance the agenda by paying more attention to the rest of life? Here is a rule of thumb in planet management to consider: if you save the living environment, comprising plants, animals, and microorganisms, you will automat

13、ically save the physical environment. But if you save only the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both. Humanity lives not just on the surface of planet Earth. We also, and above all, live in the biosphere.【F2】This film of life, abounding with millions of different kinds of organisms, is

14、 so thin that it cannot be seen edgewise when viewed from a space shuttle. Yet it is our cradle and our only home, blessed with the unique and delicate conditions necessary for human existence. To travel outside the biosphere, even a little bit and for a short period of time, requires the most advan

15、ced engineering we can devise, and even then it is always dangerous.Other species are not just fellow inhabitants of Earths fair environment.【F3 】They create and maintain it far from the physical and chemical state the planet would be in if it were lifeless. Humanity absolutely requires a healthy bi

16、osphere for a simple reason: we evolved over millions of years to fit the exact conditions it provides, and no other.The natural world we are now destroying with such cheerful abandon purifies and efficiently distributes our fresh water it creates and constantly renews our soil; it channels the grea

17、t cycles of materials and energy; it sustains whatever climatic stability we have not yet bothered; and it manufactures the very air we breathe.【F4】All these services together have been estimated to equal in dollar value the summed Gross Domestic Products of every country in the world combined, and

18、is given to our species free of cost.Humanity could, in theory at least, continue to exist on the handful of domestic plants and animals it now uses, plus a tightly regulated marine catch, but it would be a poor and biologically unstable world.【F5】A planet thus humanized would then be literally a sp

19、aceship, with all the warmth and security of the little ones we currently keep in orbit.6 【F1】7 【F2】8 【F3】9 【F4】10 【F5】10 The nature of the dream-state is highly subjective and a truly personal experience making the scientific analysis of dreaming somewhat prohibitive.【F1 】Dreams often contain mater

20、ial that is nonsensical and challenging to interpret rationally, making the characterization of dreams from an objective point of view a perplexing task. While we all dream, there is incredible variability in the subjective dream experience. Some people rarely remember their dreams and erroneously c

21、onclude that they do not dream at all, while others experience vivid dreams with rich visual imagery and emotional content.【F2 】Sometimes, the storylines that make up peoples dreams follow a tight narrative and have a relatively smooth transition from scene to scene, while at other times dreams appe

22、ar as illogical and haphazard associations lacking a coherent sense of flow. Some people have full control of their dreams, exerting conscious control over the supposedly random events which typify dreaming, while others are mere bystanders watching the events unfold without any sense of agency appr

23、oximating waking volition.【F3】With the multiplicity of dream dynamics, it is no surprise that there are differing views on the nature of dreams, as a researchers views on dreaming may directly relate to his own subjective experience of dreaming.Despite this subjective nature of dreams, an evolutiona

24、ry analysis of dreams should not be disregarded and considered outside the realm of scientific inquiry.【F4】Since the cognitive revolution, psychology and other disciplines have made significant progress in developing and implementing methodologies meant to reveal truths about the mental processes un

25、derlying our subjective experiences. For example, the tools of cognitive neuroscience have allowed neuroimaging data to inform our theories of cognition. It is not unreasonable to think that these methods will one day allow for a correlation to be established between certain patterns of brain activi

26、ty and corresponding dream content, not unlike how current technology now allows accurate prediction of information from subjective experiences.As an example, neuroimaging evidence can provide information to distinguish between lower-level sensory experiences as well as higher-level perceptual exper

27、iences.【F5 】In this vein, it is important to approach the study of dreams in a scientific fashion, not biased by our own subjective dream experiences, but rather by letting our theories rest on scientifically collected data. Towards this aim of objective and scrutinizing scientific inquiry, below we

We are close to destroying hundreds of exquisite animal species. Moreover, we now find ourselves on the verge of a new cold war. But there is another threat, per

We are getting rid of melancholia(忧郁).A recent poll shows that almost 85 percent of Americans believe that they are very happy or at least pretty happy.【F1 】The psychological world is now open

30、ing up a new field, positive psychology, devoted to finding ways to enhance happiness through pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Mainstream publishers are printing thousands of books on how to be happy. It seems truly an age of almost perfect contentment, a brave new world of persistent good fortune

31、, joy without trouble.Why are most Americans so utterly willing to have an essential part of their hearts sliced away and discarded like so much waste?【F2】What are we to make of this American obsession with happiness, an obsession that could well lead to a sudden extinction of the creative impulse a

32、nd that could result in a disaster as horrible as those foreshadowed by global warming and environmental crisis and nuclear proliferation(扩散)? What drives this rage for this desperate contentment?【F3 】How can so many people be happy in the midst of all the problems that plague our globe -not only th

33、e collective ills but also those particular irritations that plague our everyday existences? Are some people lying, or are they simply afraid to be honest in a culture in which the status is nothing short of manic happiness?I for one am afraid that American cultures overemphasis on happiness at the

34、expense of sadness might be dangerous, a forgetting of an essential part of a full life.【F4】I further am concerned that to desire only happiness in a world undoubtedly tragic is to become inauthentic, to settle for unrealistic abstractions that ignore concrete situations. Without the agitations of t

35、he soul, would all of our magnificently yearning lowers topple? Our culture seems to treat melancholia as a threat to our pervasive notions of happinesshappiness as immediate gratification, happiness as superficial comfort, happiness as static contentment.【F5】Doesnt this unwitting affection for happ
