1Rock music began in America in the late 1950’s . It was not only a new musical form , but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life .In this forum , the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights , warand peace ,the disaffection of their society , and a range of emotions between love andhate . Allin all , in this forum , the American youth redefined the beliefs and feelingsof their society . The typical representatives of the early rock music were ElvisPresley , singer and poet Bob Dylan , the Bealtles , the rolling Stones and so on . Theywere the culture heroes whom the young people worshipped .2The American young people i n 1960’s were a generation of rebellion . They foundthat the affluent American society was filled with poverty , injustice and gypocrisy .They didn’t trust the adult world that didn’t belong to them and refused to take their beliefs and values . Many young people took active part in the struggle whichprotested against poverty , racial discrimination and Vietnam War . Some youngpeople even tried to overthrow this world by armed revolution. Many other youngtook passive ways to show their disaffections . They took drugs , refused to take any responsibilities and lived a parasitic way of life . Or they escaped to the frontiers andlived a primitive way of life .3Mathilda had been ill for three days . Her mother had given her some medicine,but it didn’t do any good .

When the doctor arrived at Olson’s home , he wanted to examine Mthilda’s throat first . But no matter how he coaxed ,,She wouldn’t open her mouth . So the doctor hadto get the tongue depressor into her mouth . But Mathilda reduced it to splinters . Inorder to protect Mathilda herself and other children , the doctor had to make surewhether she had diphtheria or not , so that he could treat her in time . Letting Mathilda‘s father hold her wrists he tried his best to open her mouth and found she really haddiphtheria. This story made us can think such a question that something in life canonly depend on self willingness . Under some circumstances , certain force seemsnecessary .4The need for laws on euthanasia can’t be dodged for much longer . Euthanasia is a taboo inmost countries . In these countries doctors can only practise it secretly . But it is openly practicedin some countries , such as Holland . Right now more and more countries are going over thearguments about legalizing euthanasia .When a patient suffers from illness for a long time and there is no hope of curing it , why dowe let him polong the throes ?Why can’t we practise euthanasia to stop the throes ?But if we legalize euthanasia , there will be a danger Someone may use it for killing . All inall , euthanasia is question we can’t dodge .5The American women made great c o ntributions to the nation’s development , butthey received different forms of prejudices because of their sex . In politics , they didall the tedious details that made the differene between victory and defeat on electionday and seldom had the chance to reach a better position , while the men reaped therewards . In economy , most women did the lower-paying and dead –end jobs andthey were paid less than the men for the same job . Many American people didn’t admit it was prejudice against women . They said it was only a different division oflabour in society . Even many women were content with their roles as second-classcitizens . So the author said it was a long painful struggle for the women to get realequality .6When I knew Magpie got a scholarship of a California University and could go tothe Fine Arts School to study , I was very pleased for him .

So I went back to Crow Creek to tell him about the good news andlet him fill out some papers . But I didn’t find him at his home . His wife said they had not been together for a while and only heard he was in Chamberlain . Then I went forSalina and asked her to help me find Magpie . Salina said Magpie had changed a lotsince he was taken into prison . She thought he was not interested in going to theuniversity of white people . But I said Magpie had a right to know this news and makethe decision whether to go or not by himself . She agreed and took me to his goodfriend , Elgie . But when I could really see Magpie at last , he had been shot by thepolice .7Miss Brill was an English who lived in a coastal city in France . She was old andpoor . She would go to the park on every Sunday afternoon . She always sat on thesame bench , listening people around her talk , or watching other people’s lives i front of her . She suddenly had a feeling on that Sunday afternoon . She felt the lifewas like a play and she was one part of the community . She had a part in theperformance . At this time , the feeling of loneliness began to escape her .But just at this time she heard a couple of young people talk about her withcontempt . Even the young man asked her to leave in a low voice . The short feelingof happiness disappeared . she went home with a broken heart .8Man created language . It was man’s way of communicating with his fellow man . Thedifference between oral and written language was that oral language could take the human voice toinfuse it with the shades of deeper meaning . Flowers was nearly singing when she read A Tale ofTwo Cities . It sounded beautiful . Her reading made me realize the wonder of language. Mrs.Flowers gave me novels and poems . I learned value of life from these books and realized howbeautiful the language of literature works was .Man created language . It was man’s way of communicating with his fellow man .

So in order to capture the viewer’s attention , must provide constant stimulation through variety , novelty , action and movement . The result ofdoing so is that news is too brief and results in inefficient communication . Many news programsm achine –gunning w ith scraps “and figh t coherence of mind.The appeal to the shortare like “ attention span will decivilize as well. To avoid complexity means to give up thinking . The“ functionally illiterates “ among adult Americans are continually increasing . They even do not know how to answer the want ad. Or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle . At leasttelevision should be responsible for part of it .10One night , two German military officers were murdered by Frenchmen . The nextday , a German officer declared to thirty French prisoners , “ My order is that one manin every ten shall be selected and shot tomorrow . That is to say , three of you thirtypeople will die tomorrow . We are indifferent as to which three . You can choose for yourselves .”The prisoners had a heated discussion about who should die. Someone said the old people should go first . This was the way of nature . Some people said the unmarriedshould go first because they had no responsibilities . At last , all consented to drawinglots to decide which three went to die . A rich lawyer unfortunately got the deathdraw . He said , “ I ‘ll give a hundred thousand francs to anyone who will die for me . “11Some people will fall asleep as soon as their heads touch the pillows .

I can compose grand symphonies ,paint magnificent pictures and write good essays . The artificial ways of inducing sleep are legion ,but they are of no avail . When I can’t go to sleep at night , I imagine a dialogue with a friend till I either laugh or fall asleep . I find this is a good way to go to sleep .12As a very small child , I made up my mind to become a writer in future . When Ibecome a writer , what I have most wanted to do is to make political writing into awork of art .

全国高等教育自学考试指定教材英语专业(本科段)高级英语(下)王家湘课文翻译Lesson OneThe Company in Which I Work我工作的公司约瑟夫·海勒我工作的公司里,每个人都至少害怕一个人。

职位越低,所惧怕的人越多。

所有的人都害怕那十二位顶层上司,他们帮助创建了这个公司,而且现在仍然大权在握。

所有这十二位都已经上了年纪,而且岁月的沧桑和对成功的执著追求使他们心力交瘁。

他们中很多人在这儿干了一辈子。

当我在大厅里遇见他们时,他们看上去非常友善、沉稳而心满意足,而且他们与别人一起乘坐公共电梯时又总是彬彬有礼、沉默不语。

他们不再努力工作。

他们主持会议,决定别人的晋升,任凭别人在准备发布的通告中使用他们的名字,没有人知道谁真正经营这家公司(甚至连人们认为现在经营着这家公司的那些人都不知道),然而公司的确在运转。

在平常的工作日里,我很害怕杰克·格林,这是因为我所在的部门属于他的部门,而杰克·格林是我的上司。

格林害怕我则是因为我的部门的绝大部分工作是为销售部所做的,而销售部比他的部门更重要,而且同他相比,我与迪·卡葛勒以及销售部的其他人员的关系更加密切。

格林偶尔也对我不信任,他有时会向我表示他希望我的部门的每一项工作在其他部门知道前要先让他知道。

我知道这不是他真正的意思,他自己的工作非常忙,根本就无暇顾及我们所有的工作。

我会将大部分工作绕过格林并直接交给需要它们的人,而不愿意占他的时间。

毕竟我们部门绝大部分工作只是微不足道的。

但是每当其他部门赞扬我们部门的工作时,格林就会变得不安,如果他从未看见或听到过的话,就更是恼羞成怒。

在我的部门里,有六个人害怕我,其中一个小秘书害怕我们所有的人。

有一个为我工作的人,他对任何人都毫不惧怕,甚至连我也不怕,我真想尽快把他解雇掉,然而我害怕他……公司里非常惧怕大多数人的人是销售人员,他们都生活和工作在极大压力之下,当情况不好时,对销售人员来说就会更糟。

Lesson 2: Four Choices for Young People在毕业前不久,斯坦福大学四年级主席吉姆?宾司给我写了一封信,信中谈及他的一些不安。

Shortly before his graduation, Jim Binns, president of the senior class at Stanford University, wrote me about some of his misgivings.他写道:“与其他任何一代人相比,我们这一代人在看待成人世界时抱有更大的疑虑……同时越来越倾向于全盘否定成人世界。

”“More than any other generation,‖ he said, ―our generation views the adult world with great skepticism… there is also an increased tendency to reject completely that world.‖很明显,他的话代表了许多同龄人的看法。

Apparently he speaks for a lot of his contemporaries.在过去的几年里,我倾听过许多年轻人的谈话,他们有的还在大学读书,有的已经毕业,他们对于成人的世界同样感到不安。

During the last few years, I have listened to scores of young people, in college and out, who were just as nervous about the grown world.大致来说,他们的态度可归纳如下:“这个世界乱糟糟的,到处充满了不平等、贫困和战争。

对此该负责的大概应是那些管理这个世界的成年人吧。

如果他们不能做得比这些更好,他们又能拿什么来教育我们呢?这样的教导,我们根本不需要。

Lesson Five Trifles (Part One)琐事(第一部分)苏珊·格拉斯珀尔人物乔治·亨德森,县法官亨利·彼得斯,司法官路易斯·黑尔,附近的农场主彼得斯夫人黑尔夫人场景约翰·赖特的农场里现已闲置的房屋中的厨房。

这是一间阴暗的厨房,人离开时尚未收拾整齐——洗涤槽下有没洗的煎锅,装面包的盒子外面有一块面包,桌子上有一块擦桌布——还有其他未干完活儿的迹象。

后侧,大门打开,司法官走上,身后跟着县法官和黑尔先生。

司法官和黑尔先生是中年人,县法官是个年轻人,三个人都穿着臃肿,立刻走向炉火。

他们的身后跟着两个女人——前面的司法官夫人,她身材略显瘦长却很结实,面庞消瘦,而且紧张不安。

后面是黑尔夫人,她身材高大,模样平时还称得上令人愉快,但现在却心烦意乱,一进屋就惊恐地四处张望。

两个女人缓缓地走进房间,紧挨在一起站在门边。

县法官:(搓着双手)这儿感觉不错。

到炉火这边来吧,女士们。

彼得斯夫人:(向前迈了一步后)我不——冷。

司法官:(解开外套,从炉边走开,仿佛以此标志着开始了公务)黑尔先生,在我们移动任何东西之前,你向亨德森先生讲讲你昨天早晨来这儿时看到的一切。

县法官:等一下,有什么东西动过吗?是不是一切都和你昨天离开时一样?司法官:(环视四周)完全一样。

昨晚温度降到零度以下时,我想最好派弗兰克今早来给我们生上火,——发生大案时得肺炎可没什么好处,可我跟他说除了炉子以外什么也别动——你知道弗兰克这个人。

县法官:昨天这里应该留下个人。

司法官:呵——昨天。

我派弗兰克去莫里斯中心处理那个发疯的人时——我想告诉你我昨天手头事儿很多,我知道今天你能从奥马哈赶回来,而且只要我亲自查看了这里的一切——县法官:好了,黑尔先生,告诉我昨天早晨你来这儿时出了什么事?黑尔先生:我同哈里带着一车土豆动身进城,从我家出来走到这时,我说“我想看看是不是无法让约翰·赖特跟我一起装一部公用电话”。

全国高等教育自学考试指定教材英语专业(本科段)高级英语(下)王家湘课文翻译Lesson OneThe Company in Which I Work我工作的公司约瑟夫·海勒我工作的公司里,每个人都至少害怕一个人。

职位越低,所惧怕的人越多.所有的人都害怕那十二位顶层上司,他们帮助创建了这个公司,而且现在仍然大权在握。

所有这十二位都已经上了年纪,而且岁月的沧桑和对成功的执著追求使他们心力交瘁。

他们中很多人在这儿干了一辈子。

当我在大厅里遇见他们时,他们看上去非常友善、沉稳而心满意足,而且他们与别人一起乘坐公共电梯时又总是彬彬有礼、沉默不语。

他们不再努力工作.他们主持会议,决定别人的晋升,任凭别人在准备发布的通告中使用他们的名字,没有人知道谁真正经营这家公司(甚至连人们认为现在经营着这家公司的那些人都不知道),然而公司的确在运转。

在平常的工作日里,我很害怕杰克·格林,这是因为我所在的部门属于他的部门,而杰克·格林是我的上司。

格林害怕我则是因为我的部门的绝大部分工作是为销售部所做的,而销售部比他的部门更重要,而且同他相比,我与迪·卡葛勒以及销售部的其他人员的关系更加密切。

格林偶尔也对我不信任,他有时会向我表示他希望我的部门的每一项工作在其他部门知道前要先让他知道.我知道这不是他真正的意思,他自己的工作非常忙,根本就无暇顾及我们所有的工作。

我会将大部分工作绕过格林并直接交给需要它们的人,而不愿意占他的时间.毕竟我们部门绝大部分工作只是微不足道的.但是每当其他部门赞扬我们部门的工作时,格林就会变得不安,如果他从未看见或听到过的话,就更是恼羞成怒。

在我的部门里,有六个人害怕我,其中一个小秘书害怕我们所有的人。

有一个为我工作的人,他对任何人都毫不惧怕,甚至连我也不怕,我真想尽快把他解雇掉,然而我害怕他……公司里非常惧怕大多数人的人是销售人员,他们都生活和工作在极大压力之下,当情况不好时,对销售人员来说就会更糟。

虽然我不是总能欺骗我自己,但是却很擅长这些骗人的把戏。实际上,我经常为公司的人们被自己的宣传所欺骗而吃惊,现在有很多人相信我们所做的工作是非常重要的。不仅销售人员是这样,那些精明能干的高级管理人员也是这样。和我同级的人是这样,比我低的人也是这样。就连公司里几乎所有从高级商务学校以优秀成绩毕业的人们也不例外。比如,每当我们举行一个新的广告活动,公司内部的人总是最先被蒙骗的,每当我们介绍一种新的产品,或者换了外包装、颜色并起了新的品名的老产品,即使一点也不好,公司内部的人总是第一个赶着去买的。
销售部不要未婚男士,甚至连丧偶的也不要,因为公司根据以往的经验得出,对未婚销售人员来说与前程似锦的高级管理人员以及他们的太太们进行社交来往或者参与重大的活动不仅很困难而且危险。如果一位销售人员的妻子去世了,而他又没有准备再婚,那么通常在丧期后的几个月内他就会调去做行政管理工作。单身汉永远都不会做销售员。离婚或者丧偶的销售员都很清楚他们最好再婚或者去另谋他职。
然而,销售人员热爱他们的工作,而绝不再选择其他职业。在没有消化不良的困扰或不再苦苦为未来忧虑时,他们是一群充满活力、爱说爱笑的人。另一方面他们会突然之间变得任性并且牢骚满腹,他们每个人都至少能说出公司的一个上层人物是令他极度不满并且觉得这个人会毁了他的前程的。
销售人员工作努力,薪金丰厚,还有个人经费,他们会把这笔个人经费挥霍在进出公司的其他人的身上,其中包括我本人。他们在豪宅区拥有自己的房子,在高级的私人高尔夫球场打球。公司鼓励这种做法。实际上,公司为他们支付乡村俱乐部会员费以及他们在那里的所有开支,并且对那些在高尔夫球上给人留下深刻印象的销售人员给予奖励。
非常奇怪的是,销售人员对长期压力和他们所受的严格管理能够坦然处之。他们受到纪律和上级指令的激励和促动。他们在上司的点拨下获得成功,业绩蒸蒸日上。当他们不是烦躁焦虑或者沮丧时,大多开朗、充满自信而且很合群。一个人一定是具备某种特殊的性格和气质才使他不但从事销售工作而且想做一名销售人员。

Lesson 15: The Beauty Industry美容用品业The one American industry unaffected by the general depression of trade is the beamy industry.美国工业中惟一未受贸易大萧条影响的是美容用品业。

American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they spent before the coming of the slump經濟蕭條前—about three million pounds a week.美国妇女仍不断在她们的脸上和身体上花费与经济萧条到来之前同样多的钱——每周约300万英镑。

These facts and figures are "official", and can he accepted as being substantially 充分true.这些事实与数字都是官方的,可大致属实。

Reading them. I was only surprised by the comparative 相對較小smallness of the sums expended.当读到这时,我只为花费的数目相对较小而感到惊奇。

From the prodigious巨大number of advertisements of aids to beauty contained in the American magazines,从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看,I had imagined that the personal appearance business must stand high up among the champions of American industry—the equal, or only just less than the equal, of bootlegging販賣私酒and racketeering,敲詐勒索movies and automobiles.从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看,我原以为美容用品业一定居美国工业群雄之首,与贩卖私酒和敲诈勒索,电影和汽车业并驾齐驱或稍逊一筹。

Still, one hundred and fifty-six million pounds a year is a tidy 相當大的sum.虽然如此,每年1亿5,600万英镑是一个相当不小的数目,Rather more than twice the revenue收入of India, if I remember rightly.如果我没有记错的话,超出印度年收入的两倍。

I do not know what the European figures are. Much smaller undoubtedly.我不知道欧洲的数字是多少,毫无疑问要小得多。

Europe is poor, and a face can cost as much in upkeep as a Rolls-Royce.欧洲很穷,保养一张脸需要花费和保养一辆罗尔斯——罗伊斯牌汽车一样多的钱。

The most that the majority of European women can do is just to wash and hope for the best.大多欧洲妇女最多只能洗洗脸,听天由命。

Perhaps the soap will produce its loudly advertised effects;也许肥皂会产生广告中大肆宣扬的效果,perhaps it will transform them into the likeness of those ravishing creatures who smile so rosily and creamily紅潤白嫩, so peachily艷如桃李and pearlily美若珠肌, from every hoarding廣告牌.也许能把她们变成像那些在每块广告牌上绽开令人陶醉的红润白嫩、艳如桃李、美若珠玑般笑容的女郎。

Perhaps, on the other hand, it may not.另一方面,或许肥皂不具有这种效能。

In any case, the more costly experiments in beautification are still as much beyond most European means as are high-powered motor-cars and electric refrigerators.无论怎样,在装饰自己上更为昂贵的试验和大马力汽车及电冰箱一样都是欧洲人的经济能力所不及的。

Even in Europe, however, much more is now spent on beauty than was ever spent in the past.然而即使在欧洲,如今花在化妆品上的钱比过去任何时候都要多得多,Not quite so much more as in America, that is all.只不过比起美国来要逊色些罢了。

But, everywhere, the increase has been undoubtedly enormous.增長無疑是巨大的但无论在任何地方,增长无疑是巨大的。

The fact is significant.这一事实意义重大。

To what is it due?为什么会出现这种现象呢?In part, I suppose, to a general increase in prosperity繁榮.我认为部分是由于普遍增长的繁荣。

The rich have always cultivated their personal appearance.有钱的人总是追求个人容貌的修饰,The diffusion擴散of wealth—such as it is—now permits those of the poor who are less badly off than their fathers to do the same.财富的扩散——尽管程度并不大,境况比其父辈稍好一些的穷人也能这样做。

But this is, clearly, not the whole story.但显然这并非事情的全部。

The modern cult of beauty is not exclusively 不隻是 a function (in the mathematical sense) of wealth.现代对美貌的狂热崇拜并不只是财富的作用(从数学意义上看),If it were, then the personal appearance industries would have been as hardly hit by the trade depression as any other business.因为如果是这样,那么美容用品业就会和其他企业一样受到贸易萧条的沉重打击。

But, as we have seen, they have not suffered.但是正如我们所见,它并未受到损失。

Women are retrenching緊縮on other things than their faces.女人们在美容之外的一切方面紧缩开支,The cult of beauty must therefore be symptomatic of changes that have taken place outside the economic sphere因而对美貌的狂热崇拜必定表现了经济领域以外产生的变化。

. Of what changes? Of the changes, I suggest, in the status of women; of the changes in our attitude towards "the merely physical."單純是肉體的變化什么变化?我认为表现了妇女地位的变化,表现了我们对“单纯是肉体”的态度的变化。

Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past.很显然,妇女比过去自由了,Freer not only to perform the generally unenviable social functions hitherto 迄今為止reserved保留to the male,不仅在完成迄今为止由男性完成的并值得羡慕的社会职能上比较自由了,but also freer to exercise the more pleasing, feminine privilege of being attractive.而且在运用更令人愉快的女性吸引力的特权上比较自由了。

They have the right, if not to be less virtuous than their grandmothers, at any rate to look less virtuous貞淑.如果她们没有权利不如祖母们贞淑,至少可以有权利看起来不那么贞淑。

The British Matron, not long since a creature of austere嚴峻and even terrifying aspect,英国的命妇不久前还是神色严厉可怕的人物,now does her best to achieve and perennially 永久preserve保持the appearance of what her predecessor前輩would have described as a Lost Woman. She often succeeds.现在也尽一切努力获得并常年保持她的前辈会称作为荡妇的外表,她们常能做到这点。

But we are not shocked—at any rate, not morally shocked.但我们并不感到震惊,至少在道德上没有震惊。

Aesthetically shocked—yes; we may sometimes be that. But morally, no.审美上受到震惊——是的,有时是这样,但道德上没有We concede 讓步that the Matron is morally justified正當的in being preoccupied with her personal appearance.我们作出让步,承认命妇专注于个人容貌在道德上是正当的,This concession讓步depends on another of a more general nature—a concession to the Body, with a large B, to the Manichaean principle of evil这一让步是基于另一个性质更为一般的让步,即将带有大写B的肉体让与摩尼教中说的邪恶,For we have now come to admit that the body has its rights.因为我们现在已经承认了肉体具有自己的权利。
