E.B.Titchener,an American psychologist.Titcheners theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another,which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.,Language in Use,这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义，而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是：同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。,第一句较复杂，应先弄清句子的主干，再根据各限定语的逻辑关系，按照汉语的语序来译。）,2 He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy,which can be felt for the general plight of another with no sharing whatever of what that other person is feeling.Motor mimicry fades from toddlers repertoire at around two and a half years,at which point they realize that someone elses pain is different from their own,and are better able to comfort them.,Language in Use,他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的，无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。,第一句中 which 引导的定语从句较长，因此可将整个句子译成两个分句，且有必要重复“同情”一词。第二句宜将主语“运动神经模仿行为”改作宾语，以“小孩子”作主语，使译文前后主语一致。,3 I

laughed.We talked more,and then the host upped the music volume and dimmed the lights for the“dance floor”,and I had to lean in much,much closer to be able to continue reading his lips in the semi-darkness.And read his lips I did.,Language in Use,我告诉他说：“我基本上只读唇语，因为这比用手语更容易，但这不是我一直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来，主人放大音乐的音量，调暗“舞池”的灯光；我不得不凑近他，近得多得多，以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。我的确读到了他的唇语。,这句话中的 read his lips 在不同的地方意思稍有不同，翻译时应注意区别。,6 Translate the sentences into English.1 一看见抽屉里的那些老照片，我的眼泪就涌了出来。它们让我想起了我跟爷爷奶奶、爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹一起生活的美好时光。(the moment;well up)The moment I saw those old photos in the drawer,tears
