爱丑之欲

几年前的一个冬日,我乘坐宾夕法尼亚铁路公司的一班快车离开匹兹堡,向东行驶一小时,穿越了威斯特摩兰县的煤城和钢都.这是我熟悉的地方,无论是童年时期还是成年时期,我常常经过这一带.但以前我从来没有感到这地方荒凉得这么可怕.这儿正是工业化美国的心脏,是其最赚钱、最典型活动的中心,世界上最富裕、最伟大的国家的自豪和骄傲--然而这儿的景象却又丑陋得这样可怕,凄凉悲惨得这么令人无法忍受,以致人的抱负和壮志在这儿成了令人毛骨悚然的、令人沮丧的笑料.这儿的财富多得无法计算,简直都无法想象--也是在这儿,人们的居住条件又是如此之糟,连那些流浪街头的野猫也为之害羞.

我说的不仅仅是脏.钢铁城镇的脏是人们意料之中的事.我指的是所

看到的房子没有一幢不是丑陋得令人难受,畸形古怪得让人作呕的.从东自由镇到格林斯堡,在这全长25英里的路上,从火车上看去,没有一幢房子不让人看了感到眼睛不舒服和难受.有的房子糟得吓人,而这些房子竞还是一些最重要的建筑--教堂、商店、仓库等等.人们惊愕地看着这些房子,就像是看见一个脸给子弹崩掉的人一样.有的留在记忆里,甚至回忆起来也是可怕的:珍尼特西面的一所样子稀奇古怪的小教堂,就像一扇老虎窗贴在一面光秃秃的、似有麻风散鳞的山坡上;参加过国外战争的退伍军人总部,设在珍尼特过去不远的另一个凄凉的小镇上.沿铁路线向东不远处的一座钢架,就像一个

巨大的捕鼠器.但我回忆里出现的三要还是一个总的印象--连绵不断的丑陋.从匹兹堡到格林斯堡火车调车场,放眼望去,没有一幢像样的房子.没有一幢不是歪歪扭扭的,没有一幢不是破破烂烂的.

尽管到处是林立的工厂,遍地弥漫着烟尘,这一地区的自然霉仟并不差.就地形而论,这儿是一条狭窄的河谷,其中流淌着一道道发源自山间的深溪.这儿的人口虽然稠密,但并无过分拥挤的迹象,即使在一些较大的城镇中,建筑方面也还大有发展的余地. 这儿很少见到有高密度排列的建筑楼群,几乎每一幢房屋,无论大小,其四周都还有剩余的空地.显然,如果这一地区有几个稍有职业责任感或荣誉感的建筑师的话,他们准会紧依山坡建造一些美观雅致的瑞士式山地小木屋--一种有着便于冬季排除积雪的陡坡屋顶,宽度大于高度,依山而建的低矮的小木屋.可是,他们实际上是怎么做的呢?他们把直立的砖块作为造房的模式,造出了一种用肮脏的护墙板围成的不伦不类的房屋,屋顶又窄又平,而且整个地安放在一些单薄的、奇形怪状的砖垛上.这种丑陋不堪的房屋成百上千地遍布于一个个光秃秃的山坡上,就像是一些墓碑竖立在广阔荒凉的坟场上.这些房屋高的一侧约有三四层,甚至五层楼高,而低的一侧看去却像一群埋在烂泥潭里的猪猡.垂直式的房屋不到五分之一,大部分房屋都是那样东倒西歪,摇摇欲坠地固定在地基上.每幢房屋上都积有一道道的尘垢印痕,而那一道道垢痕的间隙中,还隐隐约约露出一些像湿疹痂一样的油漆斑痕.

偶尔也可以看到一幢砖房,可那叫什么砖啊!新建的时候,它的颜色像油煎鸡蛋,然而一经工厂排放出来的烟尘熏染,蒙上一层绿锈时,它的颜色便像那早已无人问津的臭蛋一样了.难道一定得采用这种糟糕的颜色吗?这就与把房屋都建成直立式一样没看攀要.若是用红砖

造房,便可以越古老陈旧越气派,即使在钢铁城镇中也是如此.红砖就算被染得漆黑,看起来还是能够使人悦目,尤其是如果用白石镶边,经雨水一洗刷,凹处烟垢残存,凸处本色外露,红黑映衬,更觉美观.可是在威斯特摩兰县,人们却偏偏喜欢用那血尿般的黄色,因此便有了这种世界上最丑陋不堪、最令人恶心的城镇和乡村.

我是在经过一番苦心探究和不断祈祷后才将这顶丑陋之最的桂冠封

赠于威斯特摩兰县的.我自信我已见到过世界上所有的丑陋之极的城镇,它们全都在美国.我目睹了日趋衰落的新英格兰地区的工业城镇,也目睹了犹他州、亚利桑那州和得克萨斯州的荒漠城市.我熟悉纽瓦克、布鲁克林和芝加哥的偏街僻巷,并曾对新泽西州的卡姆登和弗吉尼亚州的纽波特纽斯作过科学的考察.我曾安安稳稳地坐着普尔曼卧车,周游了衣阿华州和堪萨斯州那些昏暗凄凉的村镇以及佐治亚州那些乌烟瘴气的沿海渔村.我到过康涅狄格州的布里奇港,还去过洛杉矶市.然而,在世界上的任何一个地方,无论国内国外,我从未见到过任何东西可以与那些拥挤在宾夕法尼亚铁路从匹兹堡调车场到格

林斯堡路段沿线的村庄相比.它们无论在色彩上还是在样式上都是无与伦比的.仿佛有什么与人类不共戴天的、能力超常的鬼才,费尽心机,动员魔鬼王国里的鬼斧神工,才造出这些丑陋无比的房屋来.这

些房屋不仅丑陋而且奇形怪状,使人回头一看,顿觉它们已变成一个个青面獠牙的恶魔.人们无法想象单凭人的力量如何能造出如此可怕的东西来,也很难想象居然还有人类栖居其中并在那里生儿育女,繁殖人类.

这些房屋如此丑陋,难道是因为该河谷地区住满了一些愚蠢迟钝、麻木不仁、毫无爱美之心的外国蛮子吗?若果然如此,为什么那些外国蛮子却并没有在自己的故土上造出这样丑恶的东西来呢?事实上,在欧洲绝对找不到这种丑恶的东西--英国的某些破败的地区也许例外.整个欧洲大陆很难找到一个丑陋的村落.欧洲那儿的农民,不论怎么穷,都会想方设法将自己的居室修造得美观雅致,即使在西班牙也是如此.而在美国的乡村和小城镇里,人们千方百计地追求的目标是丑陋,尤其在那个威斯特摩兰河谷地区,人们对丑的追求已达到狂热的程度.如果说单凭愚昧无知就能造就这样令人毛骨悚然的杰作,那是无法让人信服的.

美国某些阶层的人们当中似乎的的确确存在着一种爱丑之欲,如同在另一些不那么虔信基督教的阶层当中存在着一种爱美之心一样.那些把一般美国中下层家庭的住宅打扮得像丑八怪的糊墙纸决不能归咎于选购者的疏忽大意,也不能归咎于制造商的鄙俗的幽默感.那些糊墙纸上的丑陋图案显然真正能使具有某种心理的人觉得赏心悦目.它们以某种莫名其妙的方式满足了这种人的某种晦涩难解的心理需要.

人们对这类丑陋图案的欣赏,就同某些人对教条主义神学和埃德加·A 格斯特的诗歌的迷恋一样,既不可思议,又让人习以为常.

因此,我相信(尽管坦白地说,我不敢绝对肯定),威斯特摩兰县绝大多数正直诚实的人,尤其是其中的那些百分之百的美国人,确实很欣赏他们居住的房屋并为之感到自豪.虽然他们可以用同样多的建筑成本造出好得多的房屋,他们却宁愿要他们现有的那种丑陋不堪的房屋.可以肯定地说,海外战争退伍军人组织总部将自己的旗帜插在那样一幢丑陋的大楼上绝对不是出于无奈,因为铁路沿线多的是闲置未用的建筑,而且许多建筑都比他们那幢大楼要好得多.他们如果愿意的话,也完全可以自己建造一幢像样一些的大楼.然而,他们却眼睁睁地选择了那幢用护墙板造起来的丑陋的大楼,而且选定之后,还要让它发展演变成现在这副破烂相.他们喜欢的就是这种丑怪样子,如果有人在那附近竖起一座像希腊巴特农神殿那样的漂亮建筑,他们一定会感到恼火.前面提到的那个形如捕鼠器的钢架运动场的设计建造者们也是这样有意地作了一个深思熟虑的选择.在费尽心血,辛辛苦苦地设计并建成那个运动场之后,又想进一步美化完善它,于是便在建筑平项上加造一间极不协调的小棚屋,并涂上鲜艳夺目的黄色油漆.这样造成的效果是使该建筑看起来就像一个肥胖的女人面上带着一只被

打肿发青的眼圈,也可以说像一位长老会牧师面上突然露出勉强的笑容的模样.但他们喜欢的就是这种模样.

这里涉及到一个心理学家迄今未加重视的问题,即为了丑本身的价值而爱丑(非因其他利益驱动而爱丑),急欲将世界打扮得丑不可耐的变态心理.这种心理的孳生地就是美国.从美国这个大熔炉中产生出了

一个新的种族,他们像仇视真理一样地仇视美.这种变态心理的产生根源值得进行更多的研究,它的背后一定隐藏着某些原因,其产生和发展肯定受到某些生物学规律的制约,而不能简单地看成是出于上帝的安排.那么,这些规律的具体内容究竟是什么呢?为什么它们在美国比在其他任何地方更为盛行?这个问题还是让某位像德国大学的无薪教师那样正直的社会病理学家去研究吧.

The Libido for the Ugly 练习题答案/answer

I. Henry Louis Mencken (1880--1956) was the first American to be widely read as a critic. He was born in Baltimore, Md. , on Sept. 12, 1880, and privately educated there. After graduating from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at the age of 16, he became a reporter on the Baltimore Herald. He rose repidly, soon he was the Herald's city editor and then edi tor. In 1906 Mencken joined the organization known as the Sunpaper, which he served in a variety of ways until his re- tirement. Mencken' s journalistic skill became his chief hand- icap as a critic. He had also carried out a fruitful study of the American Language, with some comprehensive works pub- lished in this field. By the

time of his death on Jan. 29, 1956, in his beloved Baltimore, recognition of his service to the language was everywhere admitted.

1. The writer is referring to industrial production which is the most lucrative and characteristic activity in the United States.

2. All the noble aspirations of a man for a better, fuller and more beautiful life here on earth.

3. All the houses were ugly. The houses look like bricks set on end. They were made of clapboards, with narrow, low- pitched roofs. And the whole house is set upon thin brick piers. All the houses are streaked with grime and many of them are not even perpendicular but they lean this way and that. The writer suggests a chalet-type house for the hill sides. A chalet with high-pitched roof, to throw off the

heavy winter snows, but still essentially a low and clinging building, wider than it was tall.

4, According to the writer, the house has the most loathsome color. The color of a fried egg when and after some time they take on the color of uremic yellow.

5. Strictly speaking, no. Most of them were most probably U.S. citizens of European origin, with perhaps a few re- cent

immigrants from Europe.

6. Mencken doesnI t believe that mere ignorance was the rea son for such ugliness. He believes on certain levels of the American race, there seems to be a great passion for the ugly. Ugliness seems to give some sort of satisfaction to this type of mind. Mencken, however, doesnf t understand they have such tastes.

7. No. he is only implying in a sarcastic tone, that he does- n~t understand why so many Americans seem to love ugli ness for its own sake. He doesn~ t understand the psycholo gy of these people who lust to make the world intolerable. He thinks these people have a diseased mind.

Questions on structure and style

1. Mencken deliberately uses the word "libido", a special term in psychoanalysis, in his title to create the impres sion that his description and analysis has some scientific foundation.

2. Paragraph 1 is developed by contrasting the great wealth of this region to the abominable human habitations seen everywhere. The last two sentences bring home to readers that ugliness is not due to poverty, but to something in- nate in the American character--a love of ugliness for its own sake,

or, as the title says, the libido for the ugly.

3. Meneken refers to other towns and villages in America, to the villages of Europe and to the Parthenon in order to em- phasize the ugliness of Westmoreland County. He means to say Westmoreland is the ugliest spot on earth and the United States as a whole is uglier than Europe.

4. The author also attacks the whole American raee a race that loves ugliness for its own sake, that lusts to make the world intolerable; a race which hates beauty as it hates truth (see the text, para. 9)

5. The satirical power of the authorr s attack in this essay is not only a result of his choice of words, of his diction, but also his masterly employment of the various rhetoric means such as metaphors, similes, hyperboles and so on. Examples may be referred to the answers to Exs. XIII, XIV,XV.

6. So far as the point which the author wanted to make is concerned, all the metaphors, similes and hyperboles are used appropriately and effectively.

7. As a rule, an excessive use of strong language in writing tends to be self-defeating. Mencken uses a lot of hyper boles to exaggerate and also makes abundant use of sar casm, ridicule and irony to taunt the jeer in the essay. It may lead the average

reader to doubt the objectivity and fairness or even the honesty of the writer. He may feel the writer perhaps has a special axe to grind and lose interest in what he has to say. So one might say Mencken employs all the force of diction, structure and figures only to batter his readers into insensitivity.

IV.

1. As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- ten travelled through the region.

2. But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.

3. This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.

4. The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.

5. The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built iooked like bricks standing upright.

6. These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.

7. When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten egg.

8. Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.

9. I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.

10. They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.

11. It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.

12. People in certain strata of American society seem definite- ly to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Chris- tian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.

13. These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot un- derstand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind.

14. They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.

15. From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth.

lessness, oversight 13. building 14. causes

XI. The many metaphors and similes in the essay are largely ap propritately used in describing the ugliness of Westmoreland County. For example, in para. 3 the metaphor of comparing the houses there to pigs wallowing in the mud~ the metaphor in the same para. of comparing the patches of paint to dried up scales formed by a skin disease~ and the simile in para. 2 as shown in the sentence "one blinks ... shot away", the sim ile in the same para. as shown in the sentence "a steel stadi um ~ -- the line", just to mention a few. Hyperboles are profusely used in the essay. They are mostly very effective in conveying what the author had to say. In para. 1, we read the sentence "Here was wealth ... alley cats", exaggerating the richness and grandeur of this region and of America as a whole, the boast and pride of the richest and grandest nation ever seen on earth ; in para.

5 we read "It is as if ... of them", which implies exaggeratedly that it is as if some genius of great power, who didn' t like to do the right things and who was an inflexible enemy of man, em ployed all the cleverness and skill of hell to build these ugly houses; and again in para. 2 there is the sentence "What al lude to " in sight", which suggests an exaggeration that is

hard to believe. Not every house could have been that ugly.

XV. In the essay, sarcasm, ridicule or irony is employed profuse The following are just a few examples:

l. (Para. 2) "a steel stadium "" the line. " This description sounds ridiculous.

2. (Para. 3) "Obviously "-" the hillside. " We read evident sar- casm in this sentence.

3. (Para. 4) "When it was taken -'" or caring. " Here both ridicule and irony are suggested.

4. (Para. 5) "I award "" prayer. " We read both sarcasm and irony in this sentence.

5. (Para. 5) "They are "" in design. " Sarcasm is most appar- ent in the description.

6. (Para. 6) "It is incredible "" of horror. " Here the author obviously means to present the picture sarcastically and ironically.

XVI.

1. The topic sentence is: The "Band Wagon" is a device to make us follow the crowd, to accept the propagandistr s program enrnasse. The paragraph beginning with a topic sentence is a

high level generalization. Each sentence in the rest of the paragraph states specific details that develop the main idea. This paragraph has a simple deductive arrangement.

2. The main idea in this paragraph is stated in the last sen- tence :The drug culture, as the newspapers call it, doesnrt just belong to the kids; everyoner s in it together. The writ- er reverses the usual rule "go from the general to the par- ticular". He develops his topic sentence by specific, con crete detail--but he places the topic sentence at the end o the paragraph. That is, he follows an inductive pattern.

XlI. Omitted.

XVlI. A Sickening Village This is a village you will never want to revisit once you had been there. The road is grit-paved and dotted with sand and small stones here and there. If you happen to have a pair of thin-sole shoes, your feet are certain to suffer. On a sunny day, if a truck or a tractor passes by, you are covered with dust left behind. On a rainy day, your trouser legs soon get dirty with muddy water. Here and there, you may find a pile of building materials such as bricks, cement boards, sand ca- sually lying in a disorderly way. There are trees on

one side of the road. Some are a little tall, some quite short, and on each tree you cannot fail to find broken branches. As for the hous- es, they are in different size, different height, and different colour. They Stand there one after another with no harmony. If you want your students to seareh for the antonym of "unity", just bring them here. You can see a pond at the end of the road. Actually you needn't see it. Use your nose and the smell will make you sicken. Floating on the brownish filthy water are used wrapping paper, plastic bags, foams, and one or two dead dogs or mice.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national

大学英语精读第一册课文翻译

第一单元 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种: 1.不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learnthenewsorsecret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后在反复地听。 你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的xx。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY 地理之谜 人们也许觉得奇怪,为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史,就能弄清楚这个问题。 首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合了起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰,你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着,英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来,名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是,当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时,这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后,英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。然而,爱尔兰的南部却不愿组建联合王国,它分离出去,并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来,而组成了联合王国,这一点从新的联合王国国旗上就可以看得出来。 值得赞扬的是,这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作,例如在货币和国际关系方面;但是有些制度仍然区别很大。例如,北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时,它们有着各自的足球队。在这四个国家中,英格兰是最大的。为了方便起见,它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部,中部地区叫做英格兰中部,最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做英格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部,而多数大工业城市都位于中部和北部。尽管,英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大,但是他们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队,有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾,这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。 最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆,有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口,有由盎格鲁——撒

Unit1 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说我对英语感兴趣是I'm 湩整敲瑳摥椠?湅汧獩屨,而说我精于法语则是???潧摯愠?牆湥档?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说获悉消息或秘密是汜慥湲琠敨渠睥?牯猠捥敲屴,而获悉某人的成功或到来却是汜慥湲漠?潳敭湯?环猠捵散獳漠?牡楲慶屬?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3.每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意,然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 4.抓住机会说。的确,在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读,因为这在任何时间,任何地方,不需要搭档就可以做到。例如,你可以看着图片18 / 1 或身边的物件,试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后,假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家,试着用英语把它表演出来。 5.广泛阅读。广泛阅读很重要,因为在我们的学习环境中,阅读是最重要、最可靠的语言输入来源。在选择阅读材料时,要找你认为有趣的、不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西。开始时每天读一页是个好办法。接下去,你就会发现你每天可以读更多页,而且能对付难度更高的材料。6.经常写。写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法。除了老师布置的作文,你还可以找到自己要写的理由。有个笔友可以提供很好的动力;与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流,你会学到很多东西。经常写作的其他方式还有记日记,写小故事或概述每天的新闻。 语言学习是一个积累的过程。从读和听中吸收尽量多的东西,然后再试着把学到的东西通过说和写加以运用,定会大有收益。 Unit2 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在六十五岁时开始了只身环球航行。本文记述的就是这一冒险故事。 Sailing Round the Word 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在独自驾船作环球航行之前,已有好几次让他的朋友们感到吃惊了。他曾试图作环球飞行,但没有成功。那是1931年。 好多年过去了。他放弃了飞行,开始航海。他领略到航海的巨大乐趣。奇切斯特在首届横渡大西洋单人航海比赛中夺魁时,已经五十八岁。他周游世界的宿愿重又被唤起,不过这一次他是要驾船环游。由于他患有肺癌,朋友们和医生们都认为他不该去,但奇切斯特决意实施自己的计划。

Her example of never giving up gives him courage for the rest of his life. 从失败的一刻中,母亲和儿子收获了他们从成功中不曾收获到的。母亲永不放弃的精神给他此后的人生以很大的勇气。 The Day Mother CriedGerald Moore Coming home from school that dark winter's day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation. I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine tucked under my arm, and the house to myself. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn't be home from her new job for an hour. I bounded up the steps, burst into the living room and flipped on a light. 妈哭的那天 在很久以前一个昏暗的冬天,我放学回家,心中充满了期待。我腋下夹着一期新的我最爱看的体育杂志,再者,家里没有别人打扰我。爸爸在上班,妹妹不在家。妈妈刚找到新工作,还得过一个小时才下班。我跳上台阶,冲进起居室,啪嗒一声打开电灯。 I was shocked into stillness by what I saw.Mother, pulled into a tight ball with her face in her hands, sat at the far end of the couch.She was crying. I had never seen her cry. 我被眼前的景象惊呆了。妈妈双手捂着脸,身子紧缩成一团,坐在长沙发的那一端哭泣着。我看见妈妈哭这还是第一次。 I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. "Mother?" I said. "What's happened?" 我小心翼翼地向她走去,轻轻拍她的肩膀。“妈妈,”我说,“怎么啦?” She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. "It's nothing, really. Nothing important. Just that I'm going to lose this new job. I can't type fast enough." 妈妈深深吸了一口气,强作微笑。“没什么,真的。没有什么要紧的事。只是我这份新工作要丢了。我字打得不够快。” "But you've only been there three days," I said. "You'll catch on." I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me. “可你上班才三天,”我说。“你会熟练起来的。”我这是在重复她讲过上百次的一句话,每当我学习或做一件与自己关系重大的事情而遇到困难时,她总是这样跟我说的。 "No," she said sadly. "I always said I could do anything I set my mind to, and I still think I can in most things. But I can't do this." “不成,”妈妈黯然神伤地说。“过去我总是讲,只要我下决心,什么事都能干成。现在我仍然认为大多数的事我都能做。但打字这件事我干不了。” I felt helpless and out of place. At age 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. Some years before, when we sold our ranch and moved to town, Mother had decided to open a day nursery. She had had no training, but that didn't stand in her way. She sent away for correspondence courses in child care, did the lessons and in six months formally qualified herself for the task. It wasn't long before she had a full enrollment and a waiting list. I accepted all this as a perfectly normal instance of Mother's ability. 我感到无能为力,而且十分尴尬。我虽然十六岁了,但仍然以为妈妈什么都能干。几年前,当我们卖掉农场,搬到城里住的时候,妈妈决定开办日托所。她过去没有受过这方面的训练,但这并不能阻碍她。她写信要求参加幼托函授课程,学习了六个月就正式获得从事这项工作的资格。不久她的日托所招生额满,而且还有不少小孩登记等着入托呢。我觉得凭妈妈的能力,办成这一切是理所当然的。 But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college. In two years I would be ready for college. In three more my sister would want to go. Time was

现代大学英语精读5课文翻译详解

现代大学英语精读5课文翻译详解 现代大学英语译文及练习答案 一、Where_do_we_go_from_here我们向何处去?马丁.路德.金 1.为了回答“我们向何处去”这一问题,我们现在必须明确我们的现状。当初拟定宪法时,一个 __的公式规定黑人在纳税和选举权方面只是一个完整人的60%。如今又一个匪夷所思的公式似乎规定黑人只盂交纳一个人应交税的50%,只享受一个人应享受的选举权利的50%。对于生活中的好事,黑人大约只享有白人所享受的一半;而生活中的不愉快,黑人却要承受白人所面对的两倍。因此,所有黑人中有一半人住着低标准的住房。并且黑人的收入只是白人的一半。每当审视生活中的负面经历时,黑人总是占双倍的份额。黑人无业者是白人的两倍。黑人婴儿的死亡率是白人的两倍,从黑人所占的总人口比率上看,在越南死亡的黑人是白人的两倍。 2.其他领域也有同样惊人的数字。在小学,黑人比白人落后一至三年,并且他们的被白人隔离的的学生人均所得到的补贴比白人的少得多。20个上大学的学生中,只有一个是黑人。在职的黑人中75%的人从事低收入、单凋乏味的非技术性工作。

3.这就是我们的现状。我们的出路在哪里?首先,我们必须维护 自己的尊严和价值。我们必须与仍压迫我们的制度抗争,从而树立崇高的不可诋毁的价值观。我们再不能因为是自已黑人而感到羞耻。几百年来灌输黑人是卑微的、无足轻重的,因此要唤起他们做人的尊严绝非易事。 4.甚至语义学似乎也合谋把黑色的说成足 __、卑劣的。罗杰特 分类词典中与黑色相关的词有120个,其中至少60个微词匿影藏形,例如。污渍、煤烟、狰狞的、魔鬼和恶臭的。而与白色相关的词约有134个,它们却毫无例外都褒嘉洋溢,诸如纯洁、洁净、贞洁和纯真此类词等。白色的(善意的)谎言总比黑色的(恶意的)谎言要好。家中最为人所不齿的人是“黑羊”,即败家子。奥西.戴维斯曾建议或许应重造英语语言,从而教师将不再迫不得已因教黑人孩子60种方式 蔑视自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的自卑感,因教白人孩子134种方式宠爱自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的优越感。 5.忽视黑人对美国生活的贡献从而剥夺其做人的权利的行径,早如美国诞生之时最早的史书所记,近如每日晨报所载,已有近200年之久。为了挫败这种文化 __,黑人必须奋起申明自己高贵的人格。 任何忽略这一要点的为黑人争取自由的运动都将行色匆匆,行将就木。只要心灵被奴役.肉体就永远不会得到解放。心理上的自由,即强烈的自尊感,是战胜肉体受奴役的漫漫长夜最强有力的武器。林肯的《斛

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government.
