第一篇范文：新视野大学英语2_完形填空原文及翻译

I am frequently asked the question, ”Can you use chopsticks?”. I have lived in Korea, Japan, and China. In each country, I have, more often than not and without having requested one, been given a fork when one was available. I have politely refusde and said that I would be fine with chopsticks. Sometimes, I have to make further explanation.

Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact, learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks. This is not to say I was skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me, whereas learning the rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult. Just how many times do I have to say “no, thank you” when I really mean “no, thank you, I truly am full”? How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat it? This would be impolite where I come from.

I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great. I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introducde me to eating in Asia. 我常问的问题，“你会用筷子吗？“。我住在韩国，日本，和中国。在每一个国家，我有，更多的往往不是没有要求，得到一个叉时，可用。我有礼貌地refusde说我用筷子就好了。有时候，我必须做进一步的解释。

筷子是我最不担心当我吃在亚洲的家庭或餐厅。事实上，学习如何使用筷子带我只有几个星期。这并不是说我是熟练的，虽然。学习如何使用筷子对于我来说是容易的，而学习礼仪和如何进行自己的表是相当困难的。有多少次我必须说“不，谢谢你”的时候我真的是“不，谢谢你，我真的吃饱了吗？我如何去拒绝更多的食物而不得罪人？如果我坚持，我仍然得到更多，这是适当的就不要吃它吗？这是不礼貌的我从哪里来。

我所享有的许多伟大的膳食和我交往的人都曾经是伟大的。我越来越意识到，我永远不能回报我所得到的东西。我不知道如何感谢所有的人谁，我吃在亚洲。

I didn’t marry for all the “right reasona”. Love had nothing to do with marriage. And, for my husband’s part, well, I suspect love was on his mind either. He marride me because I made him feel yound. He was such an ordinary man going through his very ordinary midlife crisis. He was divorced, looking for younger women and a career change. That didn’t bother me, though. He was still fairly charming, pretty hansome and abore all rich. I married for money, and I don’t have any doubt about it. My friends don't applaud my decision, but I can also tell that they wish, at least a little bit, for some of the same things that I now enjoy. They always prefer to spend a lot of time by my swimming pool than at their common little homes. And another thing, they are always complaining about their “beloved”. “He’s always watching how much I spend.”

“It's become more like a business relationship than a marriage.”

My husband, however, doesn’ t care how much I spend and our marriage never became a business because it already was one. You could say, we have a mutual understanding. We are very realistic about the whole thing. It is painful for my friends when they realize that love is just an illusion. Marriage for never existed for me. And, he’ll never divorce me. He’d lose too much money. 我不娶为所有的“合理的”。爱情与婚姻无关。而且，我的丈夫的一部分，嗯，我怀疑爱在他心中是。他嫁给我因为我让他感觉年轻。他是一个普通的人会通过他的很普通的中年危机。他离了婚，寻找年轻妇女和职业生涯的变化。那不打扰我，虽然。他还相当迷人，漂亮的英俊和热爱的一切丰富。我结婚是为了钱，而我没有任何的疑问。我的朋友们不赞赏我的决定，但我也可以告诉他们希望，至少一点点，因为同样的一些事情，我现在享受。他们总是喜欢花很多时间在我的游泳池比在自己的小家。还有一件事，他们总是抱怨他们的“亲爱的”。“他总是看着我花多少钱。”“这是变得更像一个商业关系比结婚。”

我的丈夫，但是，并不在乎花多少钱，我们的婚姻从来没有成为一个企业因为它已是一个。你可以说，我们要相互理解。我们都是很现实的事情。这是痛苦的我的朋友当他们意识到爱是幻觉。婚姻不存在我。而且，他不会跟我离婚。他已经失去了太多的钱。

Love is important because without it life has no meaning or purpose. Love allows us to do more than we could ever accomplish without its power. So often we take good care of our physical needs. We make sure our bodies are fed, cleaned, clothed, exercised and rested. However, we tend to overlook the most important need-love. Of course, as a society, love is not overlooked. Popular media constantly places great emphasis on what we need to do to atract “love”. But being loved is not as powerful an emotional need as that desire to love someone else.

They need to love and care for others is built into us biologically. This need is what allows parents to give up sleep and food while raising their children. This need is what allows people to put themselves at risk to save others from natural disasters or threats. Love means to children, hold dear.and treasure. We do not hurt, or cause pain to those we love; rather, we seek to alleviate their suffering. It’s not about wanting to possess or control others; it’s about wanting to set them free. Love is the power that allows the wheel of life to continue turning, for when we love we look beyond our own needs and desires. We sacrifice our time, our energy, our wishes, and sometimes even ourslves because of love. It is love that allows emergency services personnel to …… 此处隐藏：2769字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
