Part III Further Development Group Work ------I’d rather be…
Group Work Offering tips for freshmen Directions: Imagine that if one day human beings became extinct in the world, what kind of animal would you like to be?The following words and expressions are for your reference. Powerful Intelligent wise strong large Huge survive stand pressure endure hardship
Sample Answer1 • I would like to be an eagle. Soaring high above the mountains, I take the vast expanse of sky as my territory. Creatures on the ground are small but all clear in my eyes. I love the feeling. I can pick anything I like as my food with the sharp claws and beak and nothing could hurt me except human beings, which have all died out.
Sample Answer 2 • I’d rather be a turtle if human beings became extinct. Although turtles move very slowly and they seem to be rather stupid, I regard them as the wisest kind of animal. They don’t easily reveal their power to the multitude, which makes it easier for them to survive. But when the situation becomes worse, their great ability to stand the pressure from the outside will help them to get an upper hand in the battle against nature. Unlike lions and tigers, whose strength is powerful but can only last for a short time, turtles maintain their potential till the end of their days in order to cope with any difficulty at any time.

Translation Skills 词类转译（1）—名词和动词的转换
Translation Skills 由于英汉语言在表达方式和遣词造句等方面的差异，翻译时不能逐字硬译，也不能一味追求词类的对应，而需要把原文中属于某种词类的词在译文中转换成另一类，这就是词类转换。词类转换是英汉互译中很重要的手段之一。

Translation Skills B. 含有动作意味的名词 1) When the termites bite at the stick, the chimpanzee removes it and eats them off the end—like our use of a fork. 当白蚁啃咬树枝时，就把树枝抽回，接着就把枝条底端的白蚁吃掉——就和我们使用餐叉一样。 C. 有些加后缀-er 的词 1) He is a lover of animals. 他热爱动物。 2) The castle gets lots of visitors from America. 有很多美国人到这座城堡来游览。

Writing Practice Directions: Write an article entitled "The Animal I Like Best" in no less than 120 words.
Sample writing Dogs are the kind of animals I like best. Firstly, they are capable of helping human beings complete different tasks. For instance, dogs are trained to pull sleighs, to guide the blind, to guard people's possessions and so on. Sometimes they are even used in medical service to help treat some patients, because of their obedience and great understanding of human beings. Furthermore, dogs can be wonderful companions. They are loyal to their owners, and always act as quiet listeners when people complain and as a source of joy when people are blue. This kind of emotional intimacy between humans and dogs can't be matched by any other intimacy between humans and animals. No wonder dogs are perceived to be the best friends of human beings, and undoubtedly I consider them my favorite kind of animal.
