大学综合英语教程3课后段落翻译

英语段落翻译.原文：十年之前，南希做了许许多多美国人梦寐以求的事。她辞去了经理职位，在邻近地区开了一家家用器具商店。像南希那样的人做出这种决定主要是想改善生活质量。然而，经营小本生意绝非易事。在失去稳定的收入后，南希不得不削减日常开支。有时候她甚至没有钱支付她所需要的种种保险的费用。幸运的是，通过自己的努力，她已经度过了最困难的时期。她决心继续追求她所向往的更加美好的生活。Adecadeago,NancydidwhatsomanyAmericansdreamabout.Shequitanexecutivepositionandopened/setupahouseholddevicestoreinherneighborhood.PeoplelikeNancymadethedecisionprimarilyfortheimprovementinthequalityoftheirlives.But,torunasmallbusinessonasmallscaleisbynomeansaneasyjob.Withouthersteadyincome,Nancyhadtocutbackonherdailyexpense.Sometimesshedidnotevenhavethemoneytopaythepremiumforthevariouskindsofinsurancesheneeded.Fortunately,throughherownhardwork,shehasnowgotthroughthemostdifficulttime.Sheisdeterminedtocontinuepursuinghervisionofabetterlife。2.原文：亨森获得自由后不久就一心帮助逃亡奴隶。他几次偷偷地从加拿大回到美国帮助其他奴隶通过地下铁路获得自由。有一次在逃跑时，亨森和几个逃跑的奴隶被捕捉奴隶的人包围。他将逃跑的奴隶乔装打扮一番，成功地躲避了追捕。另外，他后来在加拿大的德累斯顿为逃跑的奴隶建造了一个居住小区，并建了教堂和学校，逃跑的奴隶们在这里能够学到有用的谋生之道。他坚信奴隶制最终将被废除，所有的奴隶终将获得释放，种族歧视消失的那天一定会到来。ShortlyafterheachievedfreedomHensonbecameintentonassistingfugitiveslaves.HesecretlyreturnedtotheUnitedStatesfromCanadaseveraltimestohelpotherstotraveltheUndergroundRailroadtofreedom.OncesomeslavecatchersclosedinontheescapingslavesandHensonwhentheywereontherun.Hedisguisedthemandsuccessfullyavoidedcapture.LaterhebuiltasmallsettlementinDresdeninCanadaforescapedslaves,settingupachapelandaschool.Heheldtotheconvictionthatslaverywouldbeabolished,andthedaywasboundtocomewhenracialdiscrimination（辨认辨别）nolongerexisted.3.原文：人们几乎无法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外。所能做的只是设法阻拦他片刻，从而使其暴露在巡警面前。常识告诉我们，光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装一盏灯，并在晚间开着。如果你碰巧是最晚一个回家，别只关门而不上锁。如果你决定购买精密的电子报警系统，别忘了索要报警器的标志，并把它们张贴在窗户和门上。此外，你还我们到处都能看到“抢眼”的青年艺术家。他们要么一年四季穿着破旧的牛仔裤；要么大冬天也打赤脚；要么饮酒过度；要么就是抱着创作一部杰作的幻想，实际上并不做任何创作的事。其实，他们中的很多人只不过是为了看上去像名艺术家，或为了同其他艺术家“保持一致”才这么做的。他们忘了，只有通过不懈的努力才能获得成功。Here

汤姆申请过许多工作，都遭到拒绝，最后他找到一份为必胜客送比萨饼的工作。后来他又到一个没有人想去的推销区做一家运动服装公司的销售代表。现在，他在他的家乡拥有一家颇为盈利的零售商店，还雇用了好几个人为他工作。Tom

That
