备战2023入学MBA/MEM/MPAcc考研英语-词汇积累计划

2022年考研人数逐年增加,竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知,阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值,而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志,所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章,对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说,刚开始投入复习,就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊,也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的,所以我们会在每次推送中,给大家给出两篇短文,一篇是初阶水平(大致在初高中水平);一篇是高阶水平(四六级到考研水平);同学们可以根据自己当前的情况,选择其中一篇进行学习。

学习步骤如下:

1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解

2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入

3.强化记忆重点单词(以记忆其汉语意思为主)


初阶文段

Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies , increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which, of course, have a positive effect on happiness levels.

短文翻译

你有没有注意到孩子们有多爱笑?如果成年人能放任自己傻一点,傻笑一会儿,就能减少体内导致压力的激素含量,增加像内啡肽那样的优良激素的含量,改善流往心脏的血液,甚至有更大的机会抵御感染。当然,所有这一切都会对我们的幸福水平产生积极的影响。

文段 II

The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with—work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random(dancing aroud the living room, anyone?)—it doesn't matter, so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.

短文翻译

长大成人的问题在于我们要应对许许多多很严肃的事情——工作、按揭贷款、考虑晚餐该做什么吃。但是,作为成年人,我们也享有安排自己日程的奢侈权利,抽出时间享受我们喜爱的东西也十分重要。不管是社交、运动、创作或是完全随机的行为(有人会在客厅里翩翩起舞吗?)——都没关系,只要这些事情能让我们感到愉悦,并且不会像过量饮酒或是在预算吃紧的情况下还大手大脚花钱那样具有负面影响。
