How I Found My Voice

James Earl Jones

1 Today I am known for my voice as much as for my acting. It has been my good

fortune to receive jobs such as the speaking role of Darth Vader in George Lucas’s Star Wars trilogy and the voice-over announcer for CNN cable television. I also narrated Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait on a compact disc I recorded with the Seattle Symphony. Perhaps my greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament on tape.

2 But it took a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I

was a youngster I stuttered so badly I was completely unable to speak in public.

3 Since I was eight I’d had trouble speaking. It was so bad that whenever I stood

up in class to read, the other kids snickered and laughed. I always sat down, my face burning with shame.

4 I’m not sure what caused my stuttering. Perhaps it was an emotional problem. I

was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and when I was about five, I moved to live with my grandparents on their farm near Dublin in northern Michigan. It was traumatic moving from the warm, easy ways of catfish country to the harsh climate of the north, where people seemed so different.

5 Fortunately, my granddaddy was a gentleman, a farmer who taught me to love

the land. He was short and he had a prodigious amount of energy. He even built a church to please grandmother, a fervent worshiper of the Lord. All sorts of people were invited to our little church; white, black and American Indian came together in

a nondenominational fellowship. Granddad’s Irish heritage came out in his love for

language; during the week he used “everyday talk”, but on Sunday he spoke only the finest English.

6 As much as I admired his fluency, I couldn’t come close to it. I finally quit

Sunday school and church, not wanting to be humiliated any more. All through my grade school years, the only way the teacher could assess my progress was for me to write down everything I had learned.

7 Oh, I could talk, all right. Our farm animals knew that. I found it easy to call the

pigs, tell the dogs to round up the cows, and vent my feelings to Fanny, the horse whose big brown eyes and lifted ears seemed to express interest in all I said. But when visitors came and I was asked to say hello, I could only stand, pound my feet,

and grit my teeth. That awful feeling of my voice being trapped got worse as I grew older.

8 Then when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a

retired college professor who had settled in nearby Brethren, a Mennonite community. When he heard that our agricultural high was teaching Chaucer, Shakespeare and other classics, he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school. So he left his retreat to teach us English, history and Latin.

9 Donald Crouch was a tall, lean man with gray hair; English was his favorite

subject, poetry was his deepest love. He’s been an associate of Robert Frost. He held

a book of poems as if it were a diamond necklace, turning pages as if uncovering

treasures. He memorized a poem every day, explaining that if he ever lost his eyesight he would still be able to savor all that beauty.

10 When he learned that I not only loved poetry but was writing it, we found a

kinship. There was, however, one difficulty between us. Professor Crouch (we always called him that) could not stand the fact I refused to read my poems to the class.

11 “Jim, poetry is meant to be read aloud, just like sermons,” he pressed. “You

should be able to speak those beautiful w ords.”

12 I shook my head and turned away.

13 Then he tricked me. I labored long and hard on a poem, and after handing it in I

waited expectantly for his critique. It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students assembled, he challenged me. “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this.”

14 I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, anger flooding me, “of course I

did!”

15 “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from

memory.”

16 By then the other students had settled at their desks. He looked at me

meaningfully and nodded. With knees shaking, I walked up before my peers.

17 “Jim will recite his latest poem,” announced Professor Crouch.

18 For a moment I stood breathless. I could see smirks and wry smiles on some

faces. Then I began. And kept going. I recited my poem all the way through without hesitation or fault! I stood amazed and floated back to my desk in a daze, amid wild applause.

19 Afterward, Professor Crouch congratulated me. “Aha,” he said. “Now we have

something here. Not only will you have to write more poetry and read it aloud to know how good it feels, but I’m sure that you will want to read other writers’ poetry

before the class.”

20 I was dubious about that, but said I’d try.

21 Soon I began to discover something other stutterers know. Most have no

problem singing because the lyrics’ rhythmic pattern flows by itself. I found the same cadences in poetry, and before long my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite. I loved the rolling beat of The Song of Hiawatha, especially since I had Indian blood in my veins.

22 I discovered I did have a voice, a strong one. Under Professor Crouch’s tutelage,

I entered oratorical contests and debates. He never pushed anything at me again; he

just wanted all his students to wake up.

23 As my stuttering disappeared, I began dreaming of becoming an actor, like my

father, who was then performing in New York City. No one in my family had ever gone to college. But encouraged by Professor Crouch, I took exams and won a scholarship to the University of Michigan.

24 There I entered the drama department and after graduation fulfilled my ROTC

responsibility by serving with the Army’s Cold Weather Training Com mand on mountain maneuvers in Colorado.

25 Later, on the GI Bill, I signed up with the American Theater Wing in New York

and supported myself between roles by sweeping floors of off-Broadway stages. In 1962 I earned an Obie for my role in an off-Broadway production of Othello, and have been an actor ever since.

26 Meanwhile, I always kept in touch with my old professor, by letter and

telephone. Every time we talked it was always, “Hi, Jim. Read any good poetry lately?” He was losing his sight and I remembered his early explanation of why he had memorized poetry. In later years when I was doing Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens at the Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, I phoned him.

“Can I fly you in from Michigan to see it?”

27 “Jim,” he sighed, “I’m blind now. I’d hate not to be able to see you acting. It

would hurt too much.”

28 “I understand, Professor,” I said, helped in part by the realization that though

my mentor could no longer see, he was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he had stored.

29 About two years later I learned Donald Crouch had passed on. When I was

asked to record the New Testament, I really did it for a tall, lean man with gray hair who had not only helped to guide me to the author of the Scriptures, but as the

father of my resurrected voice, had also helped me find abundant life.

找回声音

詹姆斯·厄尔·琼斯

1 今天我在声音方面的名气一点都不逊色于我的表演。我在乔治·卢卡斯的《星球大战》三部曲中担任达斯·维达的配音演员,并在有线新闻网担任旁白播音员,能够获得这些工作机会我感到很幸运。我还与西雅图交响乐团合作录制CD,在艾伦·科普兰的《林肯肖像》中担任朗诵。也许我最大的荣誉是应邀录制《新约》。

2 我花了好长时间才相信这样的好事会落到我头上。我还是个小孩子的时候口吃非常严重,以至于不敢在公众面前说话。

3 从8岁开始我说话就有困难。情况很严重。每次我在班上站起来朗读,其他小孩不是窃笑就是大笑。于是我只好坐下来,双颊绯红,羞愤不已。

4 我不知道怎么会口吃的。也许是情感问题。我出生在密西西比州的阿卡布特拉。5岁的时候,搬到密歇根州北部都柏林附近我外祖父母的农场里,和他们生活在一起。从温暖惬意的鲶鱼之乡搬到气候严峻的北部,风土人情看起来大不相同,是一件令人痛苦的事。

5 幸运的是,我外公是位农场主绅士,他教会我热爱土地。他个头矮小,精力过人。为了讨好外婆,他甚至建了一座教堂,因为外婆是上帝热诚的信徒。我们的小教堂邀请了各色人等参加活动;白人、黑人、印第安人,不分宗教派别,纷至沓来,和睦友爱。外公的爱尔兰传统表现在他对语言的热爱上。周一到周六他使用"日砈糜飻,但是到了礼拜天他只讲最优雅的英语。

6 尽管我佩服他语言流利,我却无法达到他的水平。最后我放弃了到主日学校学习,也不去教堂,再也不想受到羞辱。在我整个小学时代,老师考核我进步的唯一方式是让我写下我所学会的全部知识。

7 哦,我会说话,是的。我们农场里的动物都知道这一点。我觉得叫唤猪,告诉狗儿把奶牛赶到一块儿都很容易,还可以对着凡妮倾诉衷肠。凡妮是一匹马儿,她大大的棕色眼睛和竖起的耳朵似乎都表示对我说的一切都很有兴趣。但凡来了客人,大人们让我和他们打招呼,我只能站起来,跺着脚,咬着牙。随着年龄的增长,我那种嗓音被卡在喉咙里的可怕感觉变得更加糟糕了。

8 于是到了我14岁的时候,唐纳德·克劳奇教授来到了我们学校。他是个大学退休教授,在附近的布雷瑟任定居,这是个门诺派教会社区。当他听说我们这个农业中学讲授乔叟、莎士比亚和其他经典作家的作品,便迫不及待地加入到我们学校来。于是他离开了自己的静修所来给我们讲授英语、历史和拉丁语。

9 唐纳德·克劳奇又高又瘦,头发花白。他最喜英语,最爱诗歌。他曾是罗伯特·弗罗斯特的同事。他抓着一本诗集,仿佛那是一串钻石项链,翻动这本诗集就像探寻珍宝一般。他每天背一首诗,解释说万一失明,他仍然能够回味诗歌的一切美丽。

10 他听说我不仅热爱诗歌还自己动手创作,我们找到了共同的爱好。然而我们之间存在着一个难题。克劳奇教授(我们总这样称呼他)不能忍受的一点是我拒绝向全班朗诵自己的诗歌。

11 “吉姆,诗歌就是用来大声朗诵的,就像布道词一样,”他催促我。“你应该能够读出那些美丽的词句。”

12 我摇摇头,转身离开。

13 于是他耍了个招数。我花费苦功和很多时间写了一首诗,把这首诗歌交给他以后我非常期待他的评论。然而评论姗姗来迟。有一天,当同学们聚集在一起时,他先发制人:"吉姆,我不相信这是你写的。"

14 我瞪眼看着他,不敢相信自己的耳朵。“不,”我憋不住了,怒火中烧:“当然是我写的!”

15 “那么,好吧,”他说,“你得站起来,给我们背诵一下。"

16 到了这会儿,其他同学都已纷纷就座。他意味深长地看着我,点了点头。我两腿不住发抖,但还是站到了同学们面前。

17 “吉姆将为大家朗诵他最新的诗歌作品。”克劳奇教授宣布道。

18 一时间我几乎要窒息了。我可以看到某些人的窃笑与怪脸。于是我开始朗诵。一直不停地朗诵。我从头到尾流畅准确地背诵了出来!我惊讶地站着,然后在一片激烈的掌声中恍恍惚惚地飘回到我的座位上。

19 之后,克劳奇教授向我表示祝贺。“啊哈,”他说道,“现在我们有料了。你不仅要写更多的诗歌,还要大声朗诵,体验很棒的感觉,我还肯定你愿意在班里朗诵其他作家的诗歌。”

20 我对此表示怀疑,但还是说愿意尝试一下。

21 很快我就发现了其他口吃者都知道的一些情况。他们中的大多数人唱歌没有问题,因为歌词的节奏韵律是自然流动的。我在诗歌中也找到了同样的节奏。事实上,不久以后我的同学们都很期待听我朗诵诗歌。我喜爱《海华沙之歌》中跌宕起伏的节拍,尤其是因为自己的血管里流淌着印第安人的血液。

22 我发现自己的嗓音真的不错,铿锵有力。在克劳奇教授的指导下,我参加了演讲比赛和辩论活动。他再也没有强迫我做什么,他要的就是所有学生都能振奋起来。

23 我不再口吃了,我开始梦想成为一名演员,就像当时正在纽约市演出的父亲那样。我们家里没有任何人上过大学。但在克劳奇教授的鼓励下,我参加考试上了密歇根大学,并且获得了奖学金。

24 我在那里上了戏剧系。毕业后来到科罗拉多,在寒冷天气训练指挥部服役,参加了山地演习,完成了我在后备军官训练队的使命。

25 而后,受益于退伍军人权利法案,我与纽约的“美国剧院之翼”签约。演戏之余,我还打扫外百老汇舞台的地板以维持生计。1962年,我因为在外百老汇的《奥赛罗》中的表演获得"奥比奖",从此以后开始了演艺生涯。

26 与此同时,我一直通过信件和电话与我的老教授保持联系。每次通话总是如此:“嗨,吉姆。最近读了什么好诗没有?”他的视力不断下降,我于是回想起早年他说为啥要背诵诗歌的原因。后来几年,我在康涅狄格州纽黑文的耶鲁保留剧目轮演剧团的专用剧场出演莎士比亚的《雅典的泰门》,给他打了电话。我问道:“我能请您从密歇根乘飞机过来观看演出吗?”

27 “吉姆,”他叹息道,“现在我眼睛看不见了。我真难过不能看你演出。这真令人难过。”

28 “我明白,教授,”我答道。聊以自慰的是尽管我的导师再出看不见了,但他仍然生活在一个生机盎然的世界里,和他储藏的美丽珍宝相依相伴。

29 大概两年后,我得知克劳奇教授已经去世了。当我应邀录制《新约》,我真的是为一位又高又瘦、头发花白的老人在做这件事。他不仅引导我觐见了《圣经》的作者,并且使我的声音重获新生,帮助我发现了丰富多彩的人生。

Anne lived in Amsterdam in Netherlands during Would WarⅡ.Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazi .She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said ,”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do ,but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty .”Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the windo w had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…. …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains han ging before very dusty windows. it’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

新世纪综合教程1(第二版)课文翻译完整版

新世纪综合教程课文翻译 优等生的秘诀 一位研究教育的老师针对成绩优异的学生做过重点研究,发现最聪明的学生不见得总能得高分。根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点,懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀,是因为他们掌握了几个人人都可以轻易学到的基本原则。首先,优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。换言之,学习总是摆在娱乐之前。另外,优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员,每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。所有受访的学生无一例外都认为,在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好,有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容,一放学回家就开始学习。尽管如此,所有优等生都一致认为,如果想任何时候都表现优秀,一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。 学生还必须学会有条理。举个例子,有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。他透露,他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里,以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读,其中包括快速阅读,提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。 对于学生们来说,合理安排时间也同样重要。他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度,不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课,而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。成绩优异的学生认为,他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记,供复习时使用。有个学生透露,她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边,把课堂笔记写在另一边。这样,就可同时复习到两方面的内容。她还透露,她不会浪费下课铃响前的几分钟跟朋友交头接耳,准备随时冲出教室。相反,她会利用这几分钟用两三句话概括那节课的要点,然后在下次上课前浏览这些笔记,借以加深印象。 老师们提倡的致胜秘诀是尽力让自己的作业整洁。有位老师说,学生交上整洁作业就已向高分迈进了一步。在课堂上大胆发言和提问也同样重要,这或许是学生澄清疑问的最好办法。课堂参与还能反映一个学生的求知欲。有个学生概括得好,“好成绩来自透彻的理解”。 在一所世界顶级大学进行的一项实验证明了小组学习的价值所在。研究表明,学生们如果一起讨论家庭作业和问题,尝试不同的解决办法,并且互相解释各自的答案,分数就会比那些单独用功的学生要高。实验也证明了学生间互相进行模拟测试或自我测试的好处。这就是说,学生们根据笔记设计可能的试题,在考试前一天相互之间进行书面测试或自测。专家们证实,那些能设计模拟试题的学生,往往会在正式考题中发现很多相同的试题,自然能得高分了。 优等生使用的另一个技巧是超额完成规定的家庭作业。一位学生透露,老师若是布置五道题,她会做上十道。用她的话说,“练习是学习的一部分。练得越多,学到的也越多。”最后一点同样不容忽视:所有的专家和优秀学生都认为,优等生们之所以成功,父母的功劳至关重要。从孩提时起,父母就给他们灌输学习的重要性,为他们制定高标准,并且引导他们达到这些标准。在学习方面他们给孩子以鼓励,而不是代劳。这些父母从不给孩子施加压力,永远都温柔慈爱,不厌其烦地解释和激励。他们使孩子们铭记肩负的责任,而孩子们则将其付诸实践

赤壁之战课本原文及翻译

赤壁之战 司马光 (一) 初,鲁肃闻刘表卒,言于孙权(状语后置)曰:“荆州与国邻接,江山险固,沃野万里,士民殷富,若据而有之,此帝王之资也。 当初,鲁肃听说刘表死了,就对孙权说:“荆州与我国接邻,地理形势险要、坚固,肥沃的土地方圆万里,百姓殷实富裕,如果占有它,这就是开创帝王事业的凭借。 今刘表新亡,二子不协,军中诸将,各有彼此。 现在刘表刚死,他(刘表)的两个儿子(刘琦、刘琮)不和睦,军队中的那些将领,有的拥戴刘琦,有的拥戴刘琮。 刘备天下枭雄(判断),与操有隙,寄寓于表(状语后置),表恶其能而不能用也。 刘备是天下的豪杰,跟曹操有仇,寄居在刘表那里,刘表嫉妒他的才能而不重用(他)。 若备与彼协心,上下齐同,则宜抚安,与结盟好;如有离违,宜别图之,以济大事。 如果刘备同他们(指原属刘表手下的人)荆州方面的人同心协力,上下一致,(我们)就应当安抚他们,与他们结盟友好;如果他们有所背离(指刘表和荆州将领不能合作),(我们)就该另外筹划这件事情,以成就(我们的)大业。 肃请得奉命吊表二子,并慰劳其军中用事者,及说备使抚表众,同心一意,共治曹操,备必喜而从命。 我请求奉您之命去慰问刘表的两个儿子,并慰劳(他们)军中掌权的人物,以及劝说刘备使他安抚刘表的部下,同心一意,共同对付曹操,刘备一定会高兴而听从我们的意见。 如其克谐,天下可定也。今不速往,恐为操所先(被动句)。” 如果这件事能够成功,天下就可以安定下来了。现在不赶快前往,恐怕就被曹操占了先机(抢先)。” 权即遣肃行。到夏口,闻操已向荆州,晨夜兼道,比至南郡,而琮已降,备南走,肃径迎之,与备会于当阳长坂(状语后置)。 孙权立刻派鲁肃前往。(鲁肃)到夏口,听说曹操已向荆州进军,(于是)日夜赶路,等(鲁肃)到了南郡,(刘表的二儿子)刘琮已投降曹操,刘备向南逃跑,鲁肃直接迎向前去,与刘备在当阳县长坂

Chinese Translations ofTexts A (Units 1-8) 参考译文 第一单元 学习方式 课文A 哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。 中国式的学习风格 霍华德·加德纳 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中蓁教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙的槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式 我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。”既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以(也应该)示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理,解释道,首先,我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心,而且在探索,这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于,在这个过程中,我们试图让本杰明懂得,一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是

新一代大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译 UNIT 1 2、Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly awash in friends. Yet right before our eyes, we're also changing the way we conduct relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone.Smaller circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此,我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷。不过,我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式。面对面的聊天正在被短信取代;相比打个电话,人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式。脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人,相比之下,现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光。在这些较细微的趋势中,越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机,而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代。所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方?也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊,在这个深渊里,人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代。 8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job?当然,这并不是某个人的错。如今,交友压力来自方方面面。比如来自工作压力,或是整天瞎忙,无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间。有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西,却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外。这样的人还少吗? 9、Of course, we learn how to make friends — or not — in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然,我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交。最近,关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性。这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题,其主要结论都与孩子缺少“计划外时间”有关。 10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids —time for school, time for homework, time for music practice,

Unit 1 Passage A (p12) 学无止境 终考的最后一天,东部一所的大学里,一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上,谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都充满自信。在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前,这是他们最后一门考试。 他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作,有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信,使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试,不过是小事一桩。这门课的教授已经说过,除考场上不能交头接耳外,允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。考生们依次进入考场,心情轻松而愉快。当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后,学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂,因为考卷上只有五道论述题。 3个小时过去了,教授开始收回考卷。考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情,自信已经荡然无存。当教授收完考卷,看着全班学生时,所有的人都沉默不语。 她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道:“5道题答完的有多少?” 没人举手。 “答完4道的有多少?” 还是没有人举手。 “完成3道题的?2道题的?” 考生们有些坐不住了,不安地动了动。 “那么,有没有写完一道题的?我想总有人做完一道题吧!” 考场里还是一片寂静。教授放下手中的考卷,说:“果真不出我所料。” “我只是想让你们牢牢记住,即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程,在这个领域里,你们还有很多东西不懂。在你们今后的日常工作中,类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。”接着,她微笑着补充说:“你

们都会通过考试,但是请记住,即使你们现在已经毕业了,你们的学习才刚刚开始。” 多年后,这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘,但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。 Read and translate 1. →译文:He has no longer written to his friends ever since he got a mobile phone. 2.→译文:Even though he is very busy, he spends at least two hours every day surfing the Internet, aiming to know about the latest development in this area / field. 3. →译文:Professor Li made a short speech at the commencement, his words of which were deeply impressed upon my memory. 4. →译文:Talking of the final exams the students were not nervous at all. On their faces was confidence. 5.→译文:To write a short passage of about 100 words within 30 minutes would be a snap to most students in their class. Passage B (P17) 时光如能倒流 四年的学习生涯结束,毕业的那一刻终于到来。不到两个星期我就要毕业了。回首往昔,竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景,我一边望着课表背面的地图,一边询问教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是即将毕业的老生,用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞,让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多人迫不及待地等待毕业,我却与他们恰恰相反。我希望时间倒流,让我将大学生活的每一天重新来过。 对我来说,大学生活是非常重要的学习经历,绝大多数学习过程都是在课外学到的。大学第二年对我来说也许是生命中最精彩的一年。正是这一年,我终于让妈妈确信我住校没有问题,她同意了我住校。也正是这一年,我结交了一些终身好友。经历了许多成功与失败使我对自己有了更深的了解。大二生活使我体验了许多新的事物:山地宿营,在报纸上发表一些拙陋的诗歌,在课堂上给老师画漫画。 漫步在熟悉的校园路上,我陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆之中。我多希望能够重头来过,再次扑捉大学生活的快乐和兴奋。一想到就要毕业我的心就惶惶恐恐。从记事起我就一直在读书,我感到还有许多东西想学,可我不得不离开学校毕业了。世界如此之大,可能发生的事情又如此之多。过去的四年我一直

赤壁之战 翻译

赤壁之战翻译 当初,鲁肃听说刘表死,就对孙权说:“荆州与我国接邻,地理形势险要、坚固,肥沃的土地方圆万里,百姓殷实富裕,如果占有它,这就是开创帝王事业的凭借。现在刘表刚死,他(刘表)的两个儿子(刘琦、刘琮)不和,军队中的那些将领,有的拥戴刘琦,有的拥戴刘琮。 刘备是天下的豪杰,跟曹操有仇,寄居在刘表那里,刘表嫉妒他的才能而不重用(他)。如果刘备同他们(指原属刘表手下的人)荆州方面的人同心协力,上下一致,(我们)就应当安抚他们,与他们结盟友好;如果他们有所背离(指刘表和荆州将领不能合作),(我们)就该另外筹划这件事情,以成就(我们的)大业。我请求奉您之命去慰问刘表的两个儿子,并慰劳(他们)军中掌权的人物,以及劝说刘备使他安抚刘表的部下,同心一意,共同对付曹操,刘备一定会高兴而听从我们的意见。如果这件事能够成功,天下就可以安定下来了。现在不赶快前往,恐怕就被曹操占了先(抢先)。”孙权立刻派鲁肃前往。(鲁肃)到夏口,听说曹操已向荆州进军,(于是)日夜赶路,等(鲁肃)到了南郡,(刘表的二儿子)刘琮已投降曹操,刘备向南逃跑,鲁肃直接迎向前去,与刘备在当阳县长坂坡相会。鲁肃转达孙权的意旨,(和刘备)讨论天下大事和当前行势,表示恳切慰问的心意,并且问刘备说:“刘豫州现在想到哪里去?”刘备说:“我和苍梧太守吴巨有老交情,想去投奔他。”鲁肃说:“孙讨虏(孙权,曹操曾以汉献帝的名义授给他讨虏将军的名号)将军聪明仁惠,敬重以礼相待贤能之士,江南的英雄豪杰都归附他,已经占据了六个郡,兵精粮足,足够用来成就大业。现在为您打算,不如派遣最亲信的人,主动同东边吴国结盟,以共同成就一番世代相传的事业。(但是您)却打算投奔吴巨,吴巨是个平庸的人,又处在偏僻边远的州郡,快要被别人吞并了,(这样的人)难道可以托身吗?”刘备(听了)很高兴。鲁肃又对诸葛亮说:“我是子瑜的朋友。”就同刘备等定下了交情。(另译)两个人随即(也因子瑜的关系)交了朋友。子瑜就是诸葛亮的哥哥诸葛瑾,在江东避乱,(现在做)孙权的长史。刘备采纳了鲁肃的建议,(率兵)进驻鄂县的樊口。 曹操从江陵将要顺着长江东下,诸葛亮对刘备说:“事情很危急,请(让我)奉命向孙将军求救。”于是就同鲁肃一起去拜见孙权。诸葛亮在柴桑会见到了孙权,劝孙权说:“(现在)天下大乱,将军(您)在江东起兵,刘豫州在汉水以南招收兵马,同曹操共同争夺天下。现在曹操削平大乱(消灭各地割据势力),(中原地区)大致已稳定局面,就(南下)攻破荆州,声威震动天下。英雄没有施展武力的地方了,所以刘豫州逃到这里,希望将军估量自己的力量来对付这个局面! 如果能够拿(江东)吴、越的兵力同中原(的曹操)对抗,不如趁早同他断绝关系;如果不能,为什么不放下武器、捆起铠甲,向(曹操)投降(向北朝拜称臣)呢!现在将军外表上假托服从(曹操)的名义,而内心里却怀着犹豫不决的心思,事情紧迫而又不能决断,灾祸降临就没有多少时候了!”孙权说:“假若像您所说,刘豫州为什么不投降曹操呢?”诸葛亮说:“田横,(不过是)齐国的一个壮士罢了,还能恪守节义不肯受辱;何况刘豫州(是)汉王室的后代,英明才智超过当世,众人仰慕敬重他,好像水流入大海一样。如果大事不能成功,就是天意,又怎能甘心屈服在曹操之下呢?”孙权激怒的说:“我不能拿整个东吴的土地,十多万将士,来受别人控制,我的主意已经决定
