新視野大學英語(第三版)第二冊課後翻譯答案及原文？
原文：English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.
翻譯：人們普遍認為英語是壹種世界語言，經常被許多不以英語為第壹語言的國家使用。與其他語言壹樣，英語也發生了很大的變化。英語的歷史可以分為三個主要階段：古英語，中古英語和現代英語。英語起源於公元5世紀，當時三個日耳曼部落入侵英國，他們對英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀和現代社會初期，英語的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀初，它的影響力開始在世界各地顯現。歐洲幾百年的探險和殖民過程導致了英語的重大變化。今天，由於美國電影、電視、音樂、貿易和技術、包括互聯網的大受歡迎，美國英語的影響力尤其顯著。
原文：中國書法（calligraphy）是壹門獨特的藝術，是世界上獨壹無二的藝術瑰寶。中國書法藝術的形成、發展與漢文字的產生與演進存在著密不可分的關系。漢字在漫長的演變發展過程中，壹方面起著交流思想、繼承文化的重要作用，另壹方面它本身又形成了壹種獨特的藝術。書法能夠通過作品把書法家個人的生活感受、學識、修養、個性等折射出來，所以，通常有"字如其人"的說法。中國書法不僅是中華民族的文化瑰寶，而且在世界文化藝術寶庫中獨放異彩。
翻譯：Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person". As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world's treasure house of culture and art.

原文：A MOOC (massive open online course) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs are a recent development in distance education and have now become a surging trend in higher education. These classes are aimed at expanding a university's reach from thousands of tuition-paying students who live in town, to millions of students around the world. In addition to traditional course materials, MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support interactions between students and professors. MOOCs can encourage communication among participants who bring a variety of viewpoints, knowledge, and skills to the course; inspire people to "try on" subjects that they wouldn't otherwise pursue or even try on education itself; provide multiple ways to engage with course material, encouraging multimodal (多模式的) learning that can address the needs of learners with a variety of learning styles; and inspire better teaching and use of technologies for face-to-face courses.

Unit 3
原文：As an important part of the American culture value system, "individualism" is admired by most American people. Americans view the family as a group whose primary purpose is to advance the happiness of individual members. In contrast to many other cultures, the primary responsibility of the American family member is not to advance the family as a group, either socially or economically. What would be best for the family is not usually considered to be as important as what would be best for the individual. With freedom comes the responsibility to care for oneself, for it is the freedom of choice that carries with it the responsibility: to accept the consequences of the choices. Many Americans give their children a lot of freedom because they want them to be independent and self-reliant. Along with the American emphasis on individual freedom, the belief in equality between parents and children also has had a strong effect on the family.
翻譯：作為美國文化價值體系的壹個重要組成部分，"個人主義"受到大多數美國人的推崇。美國人認為家庭作為壹個群體，其主要目的是促進家庭各成員的幸福。與許多其他文化相比，美國家庭成員的主要職責，不是在社會上或經濟上提高整個家庭的地位。人們通常認為，什麽是對個人最好的要比什麽是對家庭最好的更為重要。與自由相伴而來的是照顧自己的責任，因為所選擇的自由承載了責任，即必須接受自己的選擇所帶來的後果。許多美國人給他們的孩子很多的自由，因為他們希望孩子們能夠獨立和自力更生。在美國人強調個人自由的同時，父母與孩子間平等的信念也對美國家庭產生了巨大的影響。
原文：孝道（filial piety）是中國古代社會的基本道德規範（code of ethics）。中國人把孝視為人格之本、家庭和睦之本、國家安康之本。由於孝道是儒家倫理思想的核心，它成了中國社會千百年來維系家庭關系的道德準則。它毫無疑問是中華民族的壹種傳統美德。孝道文化是壹個復合概念，內容豐富，涉及面廣。它既有文化理念，又有制度禮儀（institutional etiquette）。壹般來說，它指社會要求子女對父母應盡的義務，包括尊敬、關愛、贍養老人等等。孝道是古老的"東方文明"之根本。
翻譯：Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person's integrity, family harmony, and the nation's well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. It's undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range. It includes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient "Oriental civilization".

原文：Valentine's Day on February 14 is celebrated in various American and European countries. It is a holiday of love and romance usually by exchanging valentines or love tokens between lovers. There are different origins regarding the festival. One legend goes that the Romans put a priest named Saint Valentine into prison for refusing to believe in the Roman gods. On February 14, Valentine was put to death not only because he was Christian, but also because he had cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. The night before he was executed he wrote her a farewell letter signed "From your Valentine". Later, February 14 became a holiday for people to show affection for their loved ones. Today, people celebrate Valentine's Day in different ways, sending greeting cards and flowers, giving chocolate or other gifts, or joining in romantic dinners. The holiday has now become popular all over the world. In China the festival is also becoming increasingly popular with young people.
翻譯：美洲和歐洲各國都會慶祝2月14日的情人節。這是壹個充滿愛情和浪漫的節日，戀人之間通常都會交換情人卡和愛情信物。關於這個節日的起源有著不同的說法。壹個傳說是羅馬人把壹個叫聖瓦倫丁的神父關進了監獄，因為他拒絕相信羅馬神。2月14日那天，瓦倫丁被處死，不僅因為他是基督徒，而且因為他曾治愈了壹位監獄看守雙目失明的女兒。他在被處死的前壹天晚上給她寫了壹封署名“妳的瓦倫丁”的告別信。後來，2月14日就成了壹個人們可以為他們的情人展示感情的節日。現在，人們以不同的方式慶祝情人節，他們發送賀卡、鮮花，贈送巧克力或其他禮品，或***進浪漫的晚餐。現在這個節日已流行世界各地。在中國，這個節日也正越來越受年輕人的歡迎。
原文：農歷七月初七是中國的七夕節 (Qixi Festival)，是中國傳統節日中最具浪漫色彩的壹個節日。壹些大的商家每年都舉辦不同的活動，年輕人也送禮物給他們的情人。因此，七夕節被認為是中國的“情人節”(Valentine's Day)。七夕節來自牛郎與織女（Cowherd and Weaving Maid）的傳說。相傳，每年的這個夜晚，天上的織女都會與牛郎相會。所以，在七夕的夜晚，人們可以看到牛郎織女在銀河 （the Milky Way）相會。姑娘們也會在這壹天晚上向天上的織女乞求智慧，以獲得美滿姻緣。但隨著時代的變遷，這些活動正在消失，唯有標誌著忠貞愛情的牛郎織女的傳說壹直流傳民間。
翻譯：July 7th on the Chinese calendar is Chinese Qixi Festival, the most romantic of all the traditional Chinese holidays. Every year, some big businesses organize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese "Valentine's Day". The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.
