同等学力英语备考复习：英译汉

　　All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like a clean glass,absorbs the prints of its handlers.Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them.

　　They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother's approval, a father's nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand: their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.

　　Overuse of antibiotics can lead to drug-resistant bacteria that have to be treated with more powerful and often more expensive drugs. And sometimes there are no drugs that work effectively, which increases the danger to people who are infected.

　　The U.S.campaign for the smart use of antibiotics parallels similar efforts in Europe and Canada,which Hicks says underscores the international nature of the threat." Resistant bacteria don't respect country or national boundaries and can easily travel on planes.

　　Antibiotic resistance anywhere is really antibiotic resistance everywhere.

　　一、所有的父母都会伤害孩子。谁都没有办法。孩子就像一只洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。父母很少会对他们的孩子放手，所以，孩子就对他们的父母放手。他们向前走。他们向远处走。那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同，父亲的点头——都已经被他们自己取得的成绩所替代。直到很久以后，当他们的皮肤变得松垂了，心脏变得衰弱了，他们才会明白：他们的故事和他们所有的成就，都是基于父母的经历建立起来的，就像生命之河里的石头，层层叠叠。

　　二、过度使用抗生素会导致耐药菌，而这些细菌要得到治愈就必须使用药效更强大，通常也更昂贵的药物。有时甚至找不到有效的药物，这样会增加受感染人群的危险性。美国有关合理使用抗生素的活动产生了和欧洲及加拿大相似的效果，希克斯强调了这一威胁的国际性。"耐药菌不会受国家.国界的限制，它们能通过飞机进行肆意的传播。如果任何一个地方产生抗生素耐受性，那么整个世界到处都会有抗生素耐受性。
