Unit 1

1.我们像在暖房里种花那样养孩子是错误的。我们必须让他们接触各种社会问题，因为不久他们就将作为公民来应对这些问题。

It's wrong to hear our children the way we grow flowers in the greenhouse. We must expose them to all social problems because they will approach them as citizens very soon.

2.随着时间的推移，我们不可避免地会越来越多地卷入国际商务。而冲突必然会发生，因为国家之间总有不同的观点和利益。

With the passage of time we are inevitably increasing involved in international affairs. And con-flicts are sure to occur because there always exist different views and interests among nations.

3.我们为我们的成就而骄傲，我们有理由感到骄傲。但是我们永远不能变得狂妄，不然我们就会失去我们的朋友。

We are proud of our accomplishments, and we have reason to be so. But we must never become ar-rogant. Otherwise we will lose our friends.

4.信息现在唾手可得。一个普通的电脑就能储存一个普通图书馆的信息。

Information is now immediately available. An average computer can store as much information as a small library dose.

5.那家建筑公司没有资格操作这个项目。他们没有任何法律文件能证明他们具备必要的专门技术。我们必须找一个专门建造歌剧院的公司。

That construction company is not qualified to handle the project. They don't have any legal docu-ment that can certify they have the necessary expertise. We must find a company that specializes in building theatre.

6.这些智囊团不作决策。他们力图提出一些对决策者十分有用的新主意和深刻的分析。These think tanks do nor make decisions. They are out to generate new ideas and penetrating anal-yses that will be extremely useful for decision makers.

7.国内生产总值不是一切。如果人民的生活质量没有真正改善的话，我们国家就不能说已经现代化了。

The growth of GDP is not everything. It cannot be said that our country has been modernized unless the quality of our people's lives is really improved.
