第一篇

When Hitler decided to launch his invasion (1) of Russia, he thought that nothing could stand in the way (2) of his armies. Conquest (3), It seemed, was inevitable. He had surprise on his side, catching Stalin off his guard (4) by launching (5) his attack without a declaration (6) of war. Hitler expected the campaign (7) to last only a few months . In the event, it was to drag on (8) for much longer. Like Napoleon before him, he had made a fatal mistake in failing to reckon with (9) the severity of the Russian weather. Many German soldiers were to die from the cold as winter set in, bringing the German advance to a half. (10)

译文：
当希特勒决定对俄国发动侵略时，他认为没有什么能阻挡他的军队。征服似乎是不可避免的。他出其不意，在没有宣战的情况下发动进攻，打了斯大林一个措手不及。希特勒预计这场战役只会持续几个月。但结果却拖了更长的时间。和之前的拿破仑一样，他也犯了一个致命的错误，那就是没有估计到俄罗斯天气的恶劣程度。随着冬天的到来，许多德国士兵死于寒冷，使德军的推进速度减半。

第二篇

Can you switch off (1) from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They fcel instead that they are obliged (2) to be on the go (3) all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feclings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with (4) what they see as a shortage (5) of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large guantity of (6) information that comes pouring in (7) on us. “All men,” said Aristotle, “by nature (8) desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of (9) the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile (10) to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.

译文：

你能从生活的琐事中抽身并放松下来吗？现在很多人都做不到。相反，他们认为自己有义务时时刻刻与地球保持同步。生活节奏似乎越来越快。因此，当人们努力应对他们所认为的时间短缺时，压力感便屡见不鲜。造成这种普遍感受的部分原因是，大量信息纷至沓来。亚里士多德说：”人的本性都渴望了解”。但是，现在已经不可能像过去那样，让一个人掌握人类的全部知识。相反，任何一个人，无论他多么聪明，都只能掌握全部知识的一小部分。可以说，即使试图这样做也是徒劳的。如果我们希望摆脱时间的暴政，就应该学会为自己设定更现实的目标。
