• Annoyed at the delay in carrying out the execution, , he bad-temperedly told the head jailer called Francis to hurry up, as the man was supposed to have been put to death by that time. • Para. 4 • Francis, the head jailer, was a dark-skinned man from southern India. He was wearing a white suit made of a strong cotton fabric, and was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Unit 3 A Hanging
• Title: an execution of a criminal by hanging. This text is a record of how a criminal sentenced to death by hanging was executed in a prison yard. • Apart from execution by hanging, there may be, in modern times, execution by shooting, execution by electrocution (ie death by the electric chair), execution by lethal injection (death by lethal injection). In the old times, they took some more cruel forms: decapitation (to cut off the head of a person), being hanged, drawn and quartered (in England), being burnt at the stake.

One Writer's Beginnings1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me.She'd read to me in the big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She'd read to me in the dining room on winterafternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo clock ending the story with "Cuckoo", and at night when I'd got in my own bed. I must have given herno peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning, and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her readto me while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her butter. She was an expressive reader. When she was reading "Puss in Boots," for instance, it was impossible not to know that shedistrusted all cats.作家起步时我从两三岁起就知道,家中随便在哪个房间里,白天无论在什么时间,都可以念书或听人念书。
Unit-3-Lying全新版大学英语综合教程五课文翻译
Unit 3 LyingText A The Truth About Lying1. I've been wanting to write on a subject that intrigues and challenges me: the subject of lying. I've found it very difficult to do. Everyone I've talked to has a quite intense and personal but often rather intolerant point of view about what we can — and can never never — tell lies about. I've finally reached the conclusion that I can't present any ultimate conclusions, for too many people would promptly disagree. Instead, I'd like to present a series of moral puzzles, all concerned with lying. I'll tell you what I think about them. Do you agreeSocial Lies2. Most of the people I've talked with say that they find social lying acceptable and necessary. They think it's the civilized way for folks to behave. Without these little white lies, they say, our relationships would be short and brutish and nasty. It's arrogant, they say, to insist on being so incorruptible and so brave that you cause other people unnecessary embarrassment or pain by compulsively assailing them with your honesty. I basically agree. What about you%3. Will you say to people, when it simply isn't true, "I like your new hairdo," "You're looking much better," "it's so nice to see you," "I had a wonderful time"4. Will you praise hideous presents and homely kids5. Will you decline invitations with "We're busy that night — so sorry we can't come," when the truth is you'd rather stay home than dine with the So-and-sos6. And even though, as I do, you may prefer the polite evasion of "You really cooked up a storm "instead of "The soup" — which tastes like warmed-over coffee — "is wonderful," will you, if you must, proclaim it wonderful7. There's one man I know who absolutely refuses to tell social lies. "I can't play that game," he says; "I'm simply not made that way." And his answer to the argument that saying nice things to someone doesn't cost anything is, "Yes, it does —it destroys your credibility." Now, he won't, unsolicited, offer his views on the painting you just bought, but you don't ask his frank opinion unless you want frank, and his silence at those moments when the rest of us liars are muttering, "Isn't it lovely" is, for the most part, eloquent enough. My friend does not indulge in what he calls "flattery, false praise and mellifluous comments." When others tell fibs he will not go along. He says that social lying is lying, that little white lies are still lies. And he feels that telling lies is morally wrong. What about you~Peace-Keeping Lies8. Many people tell peace-keeping lies: lies designed to avoid irritation or argument, liesdesigned to shelter the liar from possible blame or pain; lies (or so it is rationalized) designed to keep trouble at bay without hurting anyone.9. I tell these lies at times, and yet I always feel they're wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong. And whenever I lie so that someone won't disapprove of me or think less of me or holler at me, I feel I'm a bit of a coward, I feel I'm dodging responsibility, I feel...guilty. What about you10. Do you, when you're late for a date because you overslept, say that you're late because you got caught in a traffic jam11. Do you, when you forget to call a friend, say that you called several times but the line was busy"12. Do you, when you didn't remember that it was your father's birthday, say that his present must be delayed in the mail13. And when you're planning a weekend in New York City and you're not in the mood to visit your mother, who lives there, do you conceal — with a lie, if you must — the fact that you'll be in New York Or do you have the courage — or is it the cruelty — to say, "I'll be in New York, but sorry — I don't plan on seeing you"14. (Dave and his wife Elaine have two quite different points of view on this very subject. He calls her a coward. She says she's being wise. He says she must assert her right to visit New York sometimes and not see her mother. To which she always patiently replies: "Why should we have useless fights My mother's too old to change. We get along much better when I lie to her.")15. Finally, do you keep the peace by telling your husband lies on the subject of money Do you reduce what you really paid for your shoes And in general do you find yourself ready, willing and able to lie to him when you make absurd mistakes or lose or break things16. "I used to have a romantic idea that part of intimacy was confessing every dumb thing that you did to your husband. But after a couple of years of that," says Laura, "have I changed my mind!",17. And having changed her mind, she finds herself telling peacekeeping lies. And yes, I tell them too. What about youProtective Lies18. Protective lies are lies folks tell — often quite serious lies — because they're convinced that the truth would be too damaging. They lie because they feel there are certain human values that supersede the wrong of having lied. They lie, not for personal gain, but because they believe it's for the good of the person they're lying to. They lie to those they love, to those who trust themmost of all, on the grounds that breaking this trust is justified.19. They may lie to their children on money or marital matters.20. They may lie to the dying about the state of their health.#21. They may lie to their closest friend because the truth about her talents or son or psyche would be — or so they insist — utterly devastating.22. I sometimes tell such lies, but I'm aware that it's quite presumptuous to claim I know what's best for others to know. That's called playing God . That's called manipulation and control. And we never can be sure, once we start to juggle lies, just where they'll land, exactly where they'll roll.23. And furthermore, we may find ourselves lying in order to back up the lies that are backing up the lie we initially told.24. And furthermore — let's be honest — if conditions were reversed, we certainly wouldn't want anyone lying to us.25. Yet, having said all that, I still believe that there are times when protective lies must nonetheless be told. What about you|Trust-Keeping Lies26. Another group of lies are trust-keeping lies, lies that involve triangulation, with A (that's you) telling lies to B on behalf of C (whose trust you'd promised to keep). Most people concede that once you've agreed not to betray a friend's confidence, you can't betray it, even if you must lie. But I've talked with people who don't want you telling them anything that they might be called on to lie about.27. "I don't tell lies for myself," says Fran, "and I don't want to have to tell them for other people." Which means, she agrees, that if her best friend is having an affair, she absolutely doesn't want to know about it.28. "Are you saying," her best friend asks, "that you'd betray me"29. Fran is very pained but very adamant. "I wouldn't want to betray you, so…don't tell me anything about it.";30. Fran's best friend is shocked. What about you31. Do you believe you can have close friends if you're not prepared to receive their deepest secrets32. Do you believe you must always lie for your friends33. Do you believe, if your friend tells a secret that turns out to be quite immoral or illegal, thatonce you've promised to keep it, you must keep it34. And what if your friend were your boss — if you were perhaps one of the President's men — would you betray or lie for him over, say, Watergate<35. As you can see, these issues get terribly sticky.36. It's my belief that once we've promised to keep a trust, we must tell lies to keep it. I also believe that we can't tell Watergate lies. And if these two statements strike you as quite contradictory, you're right — they're quite contradictory. But for now they're the best I can do. What about you37. There are those who have no talent for lying.38. "Over the years, I tried to lie," a friend of mine explained, "but I always got found out and I always got punished. I guess I gave myself away because I feel guilty about any kind of lying. It looks as if I'm stuck with telling the truth."39. For those of us, however, who are good at telling lies, for those of us who lie and don't get caught, the question of whether or not to lie can be a hard and serious moral problem. I liked the remark of a friend of mine who said, "I'm willing to lie. But just as a last resort —the truth's always better.">40. "Because," he explained, "though others may completely accept the lie I'm telling, I don't."41. I tend to feel that way too.42. What about you关于说谎的真相~朱迪斯·维奥斯特我一直想写一个令我深感兴趣的话题:关于说谎的问题。
综合教程 第五册 unit3 A hunging George Orwell
UNIT3A HangingIt was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot of drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two.那是在缅甸,一个泡在雨水中的清晨。
我们侯在死牢外面,这是一排正面安了两重铁栅栏的小房子,象关动物的小笼子。
每间牢房十英尺见方,除了一张光板床和一只饮水罐,里面什么东西也没有。
其中有几间关着肤色棕黑、一声不响的犯人,一律裹着毯子,蹲在里层的栅栏跟前。
这些都是一两周之内就会被送上绞架的死刑犯。
One prisoner had been brought out of his cell. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes. Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gal lows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a c hain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and lashed his arms tight to his sides. They cro wded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful, caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arm s limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening.一个死囚已经被带出他的牢房。

综英5Unit3课后参考答案Unit 3Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:White lies are those little lies that we tell to avoid causing embarrassment. Can we live without them? On the one hand, we don't want to hurt other people's feelings. But on the other, we don't want to lie to them. There is, however, a way out of the dilemma, as you will discover in the short talk you are about to hear.White lies are so much a part of our everyday lives that most of us probably don't even realize when we've let one slip. But it doesn't really matter, since a white lie isn't a real lie.Here are just a few examples:"This place really has potential." One may say this though in his or her mind he is saying: "What a dump it is.""That haircut really suits you," but secretly you just can't help laughing: "Ha ha ha ha ha!""Next Tuesday? That'd be great." Later, you may ask yourself: "Why did I open my big mouth?"White lies allow us to keep our friends and relationships intact, and our names on the payroll.We tell ourselves these little pork pies are necessary to spare people's feelings, but who are we trying to kid? If your best friend looks untidy in her new outfit and you let her loose on the street to be ridiculed behind her back, have you really done her a favour? Nope.Of course, white lies can be avoided by staring into space or pretending you didn't hear the question, but so often the "if youcan't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" motto doesn't work because we are expected to say something.In these instances I usually follow my grandmother's advice: there is always a good point to be found in everything. Sometimes you might have to dig mighty hard but when you unearth it, latch on. This is how it works. "Don't you think my fiancé is gorgeous?" You answer: "He's got the best eyes (or nose)." "Do you like my new hairstyle?" You answer: "It really highlights the shape of your face."Be careful, though, as this approach also applies in reverse. If you ask a friend if he likes your new car and he says, "It's a great colour", press the point just to check if he's playing your game.After Listening1.White lies are little lies that you tell in order to avoid causing embarrassment.2.According to the speaker, white lies do not always help those you want to help, yet they don’tdo harm, either.3.You are often caught in a dilemma: On the one hand, you wish to avoid telling white-lies bystaring into space or pretending you didn't hear the question, but on the other you can’t because you are expected to say something.4. A way to get out of the dilemma is to find a good point in everything you are talking about.This is how it works. "Don't you think my fiancé is gorgeous?" You answer: "He's got thebest eyes (or nose)."Part II Reading TaskText AComprehensionContent QuestionsPossible answers to content questions:1.Because everyone she’s talked to has a quite intense and personal but often rather intolerantview on what we can or cannot lie about.2.They are social lies, peace-keeping lies, protective lies and trust-keeping lies.3.Most people think so because they feel it is the civilized way for people to behave. Withoutthem, our relationships would go wrong.4.Because he thinks that social lying is lying, that little white lies are still lies. And he feels thattelling lies is morally wrong and destroys your credibility.5.The writer thinks that peace-keeping lies are designed to keep trouble at bay without hurtinganyone. And she tells them at times too, but still feels they’re wrong.6.Dave holds that it is cowardly of his wife to tell peace-keeping lies. However, his wife thinksthat she is being wise to do so.7.They tell protective lies because they’re convinced that the truth would be too damaging.They believe it’s for the good of the person they’re lying to, not for any pers onal gain.8.Because she thinks it quite presumptuous to claim she knows what’s best for others to know.And we never can be sure, once we start to tell such lies, just what they’ll end up in.9.She defines trust-keeping lies as lies that involvetriangulation. People feel compelled to tellsuch lies because once they’ve agreed not to betray a friend’s confidence, they can’t betray it, even if they must lie.10.Her way is to keep herself from being told about her friend’s secrets.11.By “Watergate lies” she refers to lies that are told to cover up serious scandals like abuse ofpower by public officials, violation of the public trust, bribery and all that. She disapproves of telling Watergate lies most probably because she thinks they are immoral or illegal.12.It’s her belief that once we’ve promised to keep a trust, we must tell lies to keep it. She alsobelieves that we can’t tell Watergate lies.Text Analysis2. Exposition.4.

We went round the gallows to make sure that the hanged prisoner was actually dead. [T]7). From what the Eurasian boy said, the hanged man was an undaunted man. [F]II. Writing StrategiesThis text is a piece of dynamic or descriptive narration, telling us a true story about the hanging of a convict in Burma. The narrative text first presents a general description of the poor, simple living conditions of the condemned men before they were put to death on the gallows. Next, it focuses on a dynamic and specific description of how a condemned man, a Hindu, was guarded and escorted to the gallows and how he was hanged. Then, some anecdotes are presented and some events described, which provide food for thought. Evidently, the events are organized mainly in the order of their occurrence, following the natural time sequence. It is to be noted that Paragraphs 9-14 make up the climax of the story.Also, it is not to be overlooked that the first-person narration is adopted, which renders the events described or narrated more vivid, objective and believable, and which makes it possible and convenient for the narrator to put across his own thoughts and feelings in the process of narration. Besides, it is worth our attention that the beginningof this narrative story is well connected with its conclusion.The questions below are to be answered:1. Do you agree that the narrative story is full of dynamic descriptions If you do, provide examples to support your viewpoint.✍Yes, I do. The story is so full of dynamic verbs that more than 90% of the sentences contain one or two, or even more action verbs. Obvious examples are found in Paragraphs 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.2. Which paragraphs contain flashbacks✍ Flashbacks are found in Paragraphs 16, 18, and 20.3. What do you know about the advantages of the first-person narration✍The employment of the first person narration renders the events described or the plots narrated more vivid, objective and believable, and makes it possible and convenient for the narrator to express or demonstrate his own thoughts or psychological activities in the process of narration.4. How is the beginning of the story associated with its conclusion✍Both the beginning and the conclusion of the narrative story touch on or briefly describe the hard life and tragic fate of the condemned prisoners.III. Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1.These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two.✍ who were scheduled to be hanged2. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes.✍ who was a small, thin, and weak man3.

A Hanging
by Eric A. Blair
Oxymoron
• One prisoner had been brought out of his cell. He was a Hindu, a puny wisp of a man, with a shaven head and vague liquid eyes. He had a thick, sprouting moustache, absurdly too big for his body, rather like the moustache of a comic man on the films. Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a chain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and lashed his arms tight to his sides. They crowded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful, caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. It was like men handling a fish which is still alive and may jump back into the water. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arms limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening. Analogy

A HANGING George Orwell 1. It was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot for drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned men, due to be hanged within the next week or two.

7. It was about forty yards to the gallows. I watched the bare brown back of the prisoner marching in front of me. He walked clumsily with his bound arms, but quite steadily. At each step his muscles slid neatly into place, the lock of hair on his scalp danced up and down, his feet printed themselves on the wet gravel. And once, in spite of the men who gripped him by each shoulder, he stepped slightly aside to avoid a puddle on the path.

3. Eight o'clock struck and a bugle call floated from the distant barracks. The superintendent of the jail, who was standing apart from the rest of us, moodily prodding the gravel with his stick, raised his head at the sound. "For God's sake hurry up, Francis," he said irritably. "The man ought to have been dead by this time. Aren't you ready yet?" 4. Francis, the head jailer, a fat Dravidian in a white drill suit and gold spectacles, waved his black hand. "Yes sir, yes sir," he bubbled. "All is satisfactorily prepared. The hangman is waiting. We shall proceed."
