难忘的城市英语作文

When I think of a city that has left an indelible mark on my heart,its not the bustling streets of New York,the historical charm of London,or the modern allure of Tokyo that come to mind.Its a city that,despite its modest size,has managed to capture my imagination and hold a special place in my memory:Paris.The Eiffel Tower:A Symbol of GrandeurThe first image that Paris conjures up is undoubtedly the Eiffel Tower.Standing tall against the Parisian skyline,it is a symbol of Frances architectural prowess and a testament to human ingenuity.The tower,designed by Gustave Eiffel,was initially met with skepticism but has since become a beloved icon.The view from the top is breathtaking,offering a panoramic view of the city that stretches out in all directions.The sight of the Seine snaking through the heart of the city,the cobbled streets of Montmartre, and the grand boulevards lined with cafés and shops is a sight to behold.The Louvre:A Treasure Trove of ArtNo visit to Paris is complete without a trip to the Louvre.As the largest art museum in the world,it houses a collection that spans from ancient civilizations to the21st century. The Louvre is home to the famous Mona Lisa,but it also offers a wealth of other masterpieces.Walking through its halls is like stepping back in time,with each exhibit telling a story of its own.The museums glass pyramid,designed by I.M.Pei,is a modern addition that seamlessly blends with the historic architecture of the Louvre.The Seine:A River of RomanceThe Seine River is the lifeblood of Paris,and a boat cruise along its banks is a mustdo experience.The riverbanks are lined with bookstalls,street performers,and lovers enjoying a quiet moment.The water reflects the citys lights,creating a magical atmosphere that is quintessentially Parisian.The bridges that arch over the Seine are each unique,with their own stories and architectural styles,adding to the charm of the city. Montmartre:The Bohemian QuarterMontmartre is a district that has long been associated with artists and bohemian culture. Its a place where the streets are steep and winding,leading to the Basilica of theSacréCœur.The white dome of the basilica stands out against the Parisian sky,a beacon of faith and hope.The area is filled with art studios,small galleries,and charming bistros that have hosted the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh.The Parisian CaféCultureParis is famous for its caféculture,where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy a cup of coffee and engage in conversation.The citys cafés are not just places for refreshment but are also venues for intellectual and artistic exchange.The smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of animated chatter create an atmosphere that is uniquely Parisian.The ChampsÉlysées:A Pathway to HistoryThe ChampsÉlysées is one of the most famous streets in the world,stretching from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe.Its a place where history and modernity meet,with its luxury shops,theaters,and the grand Palais de la Défense at one end.The street is a hub of activity,especially during the annual Bastille Day military parade.The NotreDame:A Gothic MarvelThe NotreDame Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture,with its flying buttresses,intricate stained glass,and the famous gargoyles that seem to watch over the city.Despite the tragic fire that damaged the cathedral in2019,its spirit remains undiminished.The cathedral is a symbol of Pariss resilience and a testament to the citys rich history.In conclusion,Paris is a city that offers a blend of history,culture,and romance.Its a place where every corner holds a story,every street a memory,and every caféa conversation.Its a city that,once visited,is never forgotten.。

确认日---罗伯特·肯尼迪在开普敦大学地演讲

R obert F.K ennedyDay of Affirmation Address at Cape Town University1delivered 6 June 1966, Jameson Hall, Cape Town, South AfricaMr. Chancellor, Mr. Vice Chancellor, Professor Robertson, Mr. Diamond, Mr. Daniel, and Ladies and Gentlemen:I come here this evening because of my deep interest and affection for a land settled by the Dutch in the mid-seventeenth century, then taken over by the British, and at last independent; a land in which the native inhabitants were at first subdued, but relations with whom remain a problem to this day; a land which defined itself on a hostile frontier;a land which has tamed rich natural resources through the energetic application of modern technology; a land which once the importer of slaves, and now must struggle to wipe out the last traces of that former bondage. I refer, of course, to the United States of America.But I am glad to come here -- and my wife and I and all of our party are glad to come here to South Africa, and we're glad to come to Cape Town. I am already greatly enjoying my stay and my visit here. I am making an effort to meet and exchange views with people of all walks of life, and all segments of South African opinion, including those who represent the views of the government.Today I am glad to meet with the National Union of South African Students. For a decade, NUSAS has stood and worked for the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- principles which embody the collective hopes of men of good will all around the globe. Your work at home and in international student affairs has brought great credit to yourselves and to your country. I know the National Student Association in the United States feels a particularly close relationship with this organization.And I wish to thank especially Mr. Ian Robertson, who first extended the invitation on behalf of NUSAS. I wish to thank him for his kindness to me in inviting me. I am very sorry that he can not be with us here this evening. I was happy to have had the opportunity to meet and speak with him earlier this evening. And I presented him with a copy of Profiles in Courage which was a book that was written by President John Kennedy and was signed to him by President Kennedy's widow, Mrs. John Kennedy.This is a Day of Affirmation, a celebration of liberty. We stand here in the name of freedom. At the heart of that Western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man, the child of God, is the touchstone of value, and all society, all groups and states exist for that person's benefit. Therefore, the enlargement of liberty forindividual human beings must be the supreme goal and the abiding practice of any Western society.The first element of this individual liberty is the freedom of speech: the right to express and communicate ideas, to set oneself apart from the dumb beasts of field and forest; the right to recall governments to their duties and to their聽 obligations; above all, the right to affirm one's membership and allegiance to the body politic -- to society -- to the men with whom we share our land, our heritage, and our children's future.Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard, to share in the decisions of government which shape men's lives. Everything that makes man's life worthwhile -- family, work, education, a place to rear one's children and a place to rest one's head -- all this depends on the decisions of government; all can be swept away by a government which does not heed the demands of its people, and I mean all of its people. Therefore, the essential humanity of man can be protected and preserved only where government must answer -- not just to the wealthy, not just to those of a particular religion, not just to those of a particular race, but to all of the people.And even government by the consent of the governed, as in our own Constitution, must be limited in its power to act against its people, so that there may be no interference with the right to worship, but also no interference with the security of the home; no arbitrary imposition of pains or penalties on an ordinary citizen by officials high or low; no restriction on the freedom of men to seek education, or to seek work or opportunity of any kind, so that each man may become all that he is capable of becoming.These -- These are the sacred rights of Western society. These were the essential differences between us and Nazi Germany, as they were between Athens and Persia.They are the essence of our differences with communism today. I am unalterably opposed to communism because it exalts the State over the individual and over the family; and because its system contains a lack of freedom of speech, of protest, of religion, and of the press, which is characteristic of a totalitarian regime. The way of opposition to communism, however, is not to imitate its dictatorship, but to enlarge individual human freedoms. There are those in every land who would label as Communist every threat to their privilege. But may I say to you as I have seen on my travels in all sections of the world, reform is not communism. And the denial of freedom, in whatever name, only strengthens the very communism it claims to oppose.Many nations have set forth their own definitions and declarations of these principles. And there have often been wide and tragic gaps between promise and performance, ideal and reality. Yet the great ideals have constantly recalled us to our own duties. And with painful slowness, we in the United States have extended and enlarged the meaning and the practice of freedom to all of our people.For two centuries, my own country has struggled to overcome the self-imposed handicap of prejudice and discrimination based on nationality, on social class or race -- discrimination profoundly repugnant to the theory and to the command of our Constitution. Even as my father grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, signs told him: "No Irish Need Apply." Two generations later President Kennedy became the first Irish Catholic, and the first Catholic, to head the nation; but how many men of ability had, before 1961, been denied the opportunity to contribute to the nation's progress because they were Catholic or because they were of Irish extraction? How many sons of Italian or Jewish or Polish parents slumbered in the slums -- untaught, unlearned, their potential lost forever to our nation and to the human race? Even today, what price will we pay before we have assured full opportunity to millions of Negro Americans?In the last five years we have done more to assure equality to our Negro citizens, and to help the deprived both white and black, than in the hundred years before that time. But much, much more remains to be done. For there are millions of Negroes untrained for the simplest of jobs, and thousands every day denied their full and equal rights under the law; and the violence of the disinherited, the insulted, the injured, looms over the streets of Harlem and of Watts and of the South Side Chicago.But a Negro American trains now as an astronaut, one of mankind's first explorers into outer space; another is the chief barrister of the United States government, and dozens sit on the benches of our court; and another, Dr. Martin Luther King, is the second man of African descent to win the Nobel Peace Prize2 for his nonviolent efforts for social justice between all of the races.We have passed laws prohibiting -- We have passed laws prohibiting discrimination in education, in employment, in housing, but these laws alone cannot overcome the heritage of centuries -- of broken families and stunted children, and poverty and degradation and pain.So the road toward equality of freedom is not easy, and great cost and danger march alongside all of us. We are committed to peaceful and nonviolent change, and that is important to all to understand -- though change is unsettling. Still, even in the turbulence of protest and struggle is greater hope for the future, as men learn to claim and achieve for themselves the rights formerly petitioned from others.And most important of all, all of the panoply of government power has been committed to the goal of equality before the law, as we are now committing ourselves to the achievement of equal opportunity in fact. We must recognize the full human equality of all of our people before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this, not because it is economically advantageous, although it is; not because the laws of God command it, although they do; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do.We recognize that there are problems and obstacles before the fulfillment of these ideals in the United States, as we recognize that other nations, in Latin America and in Asia and in Africa, have their own political, economic, and social problems, their unique barriers to the elimination of injustices.In some, there is concern that change will submerge the rights of a minority, particularly where that minority is of a different race than that of the majority. We in the United States believe in the protection of minorities; we recognize the contributions that they can make and the leadership that they can provide; and we do not believe that any people -- whether majority or minority, or individual human beings -- are "expendable" in the cause of theory or of policy. We recognize also that justice between men and nations is imperfect, and the humanity sometimes progresses very slowly indeed.All do not develop in the same manner and at the same pace. Nations, like men, often march to the beat of different drummers, and the precise solutions of the United States can neither be dictated nor transplanted to others -- and that is not our intention. What is important, however, is that all nations must march toward increasing freedom, toward justice for all, toward a society strong and flexible enough to meet the demands of all of its people -- whatever their race -- and the demands that the world of immense and dizzying change that face us all.In a few hours, the plane that brought me to this country crossed over oceans and countries which have been a crucible of human history. In minutes we traced migrations of men over thousands of years; seconds, the briefest glimpse, and we passed battlefields on which millions of men once struggled and died. We could see no national boundaries, no vast gulfs or high walls dividing people from people; only nature and the works of man -- homes and factories and farms -- everywhere reflecting Man's common effort to enrich his life. Everywhere new technology and communications brings men and nations closer together, the concerns of one inevitably becomes the concerns of all. And our new closeness is stripping away the false masks, the illusion of differences which is the root of injustice and of hate and of war. Only earthbound man still clings to the dark and poisoning superstition that his world is bounded by the nearest hill, his universe ends at river shore, his common humanity is enclosed in the tight circle of those who share his town or his views and the color of his skin.It is -- It is your job, the task of young people in this world, to strip the last remnants of that ancient, cruel belief from the civilization of man.Each nation has different obstacles and different goals, shaped by the vagaries of history and of experience. Yet as I talk to young people around the world, I am impressed not by the diversity but by the closeness of their goals, their desires and their concerns and their hope for the future. There is discrimination in New York, the racial inequality of apartheid in South Africa, and serfdom in the mountains of Peru. People starve to death in the streets of India; a former Prime Minister is summarily executed in the Congo;intellectuals go to jail in Russia, and thousands are slaughtered in Indonesia; wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere in the world.These are different evils, but they are the common works of man. They reflect the imperfections of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, the defectiveness of our sensibility toward the sufferings of our fellows; they mark the limit of our ability to use knowledge for the well-being of our fellow human beings throughout the world. And therefore they call upon common qualities of conscience and indignation, a shared determination to wipe away the unnecessary sufferings of our fellow human beings at home and around the world.It is these qualities which make of our youth today the only true international community. More than this, I think that we could agree on what kind of a world we would all want to build. It would be a world of independent nations, moving toward international community, each of which protected and respected the basic human freedoms. It would be a world which demanded of each government that it accept its responsibility to insure social justice. It would be a world of constantly accelerating economic progress -- not material welfare as an end in/of itself, but as a means to liberate the capacity of every human being to pursue his talents and to pursue his hopes. It would, in short, be a world that we would all be proud to have built.Just to the north of here are lands of challenge and of opportunity, rich in natural resources -- land and minerals and people. Yet they are also lands confronted by the greatest odds -- overwhelming ignorance, internal tensions and strife, and great obstacles of climate and geography. Many of these nations, as colonies, were oppressed and were exploited. Yet they have not estranged themselves from the broad traditions of the West; they are hoping and they are gambling their progress and their stability on the chance that we will meet our responsibilities to them to help them overcome their poverty.In the world we would like to build, South Africa could play an outstanding role, and a role of leadership in that effort. This country is without question a preeminent repository of the wealth and the knowledge and the skill of this continent. Here are the greater part of Africa's research scientists and steel production, most of its reservoirs of coal and of electric power. Many South Africans have made major contributions to African technical development and world science. The names of some are known wherever men seek to eliminate the ravages of tropical disease and of pestilence. In your faculties and councils, here in this very audience, are hundreds and thousands of men and women who could transform the lives of millions for all time to come.But the help and the leadership of South Africa or of the United States cannot be accepted if we, within our own country or in our relationships with others, deny individual integrity, human dignity, and the common humanity of man. If we would lead outside our own borders, if we would help those who need our assistance, if we would meet our responsibilities to mankind, we must first, all of us, demolish the borders which historyhas erected between men within our own nations -- barriers of race and religion, social class and ignorance.Our answer is the world's hope: It is to rely on youth. The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger which comes with even the most peaceful progress.This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease -- a man like the Chancellor of this University.It is a revolutionary world that we all live in, and thus, as I have said in Latin America and in Asia and in Europe and in my own country, the United States, it is the young people who must take the lead. Thus, you, and your young compatriots everywhere, have had thrust upon you a greater burden of responsibility than any generation that has ever lived."There is," said an Italian philosopher, "nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the -- in the introduction of a new order of things."3 Yet this is the measure of the task of your generation, and the road is strewn with many dangers.First, is the danger of futility: the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant Reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and 32 year-old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that "all men are created equal.""Give me a place to stand," said Archimedes, "and I will move the world." These men moved the world, and so can we all. Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and then the total -- all of these acts -- will be written in the history of this generation.Thousands of Peace Corps volunteers are making a difference in the isolated villages and the city slums of dozens of countries. Thousands of unknown men and women in Europe resisted the occupation of the Nazis and many died, but all added to the ultimate strength and freedom of their countries. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage such as these that the belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million differentcenters of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."If Athens shall appear great to you," said Pericles, "consider then that her glories were purchased by valiant men, and by men who learned their duty." That is the source of all greatness in all societies, and it is the key to progress in our time.The second danger is that of expediency: of those who say that hopes and beliefs must bend before immediate necessities. Of course, if we must act effectively we must deal with the world as it is. We must get things done. But if there was one thing that President Kennedy stood for that touched the most profound feeling of young people around the world, it was the belief that idealism, high aspirations, and deep convictions are not incompatible with the most practical and efficient of programs -- that there is no basic inconsistency between ideals and realistic possibilities, no separation between the deepest desires of heart and of mind and the rational application of human effort to human problems. It is not realistic or hardheaded to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgment, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief -- forces ultimately more powerful than all of the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.It is this new idealism which is also, I believe, the common heritage of a generation which has learned that while efficiency can lead to the camps at Auschwitz, or the streets of Budapest, only the ideals of humanity and love can climb the hills of the Acropolis.And a third danger is timidity. Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world -- which yields most painfully to change. Aristotle tells us: "At the Olympic games it is not the finest or the strongest men who are crowned, but those who enter the lists." "So, too, in the life of the honorable and the good it is they who act rightly who win the prize."4 I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.For the fortunate amongst us, the fourth danger, my friends, is comfort, the temptation to follow the easy and familiar paths of personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those who have the privilege of an education. But that is not the road history has marked out for us. There is a Chinese curse which says, "May he live in interesting times." Like it or not we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty; but they are also the most creative of any time in the history of mankind. And everyone here will ultimately be judged, will ultimately judge himself,on the effort he has contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which his ideals and goals have shaped that effort.So we part, I to my country and you to remain. We are, if a man of 40 can claim the privilege, fellow members of the world's largest younger generation. Each of us have our own work to do. I know at times you must feel very alone with your problems and with your difficulties. But I want to say how I -- impressed I am with the stand -- with what you stand for and for the effort that you are making; and I say this not just for myself, but men and women all over the world. And I hope you will often take heart from the knowledge that you are joined with your fellow young people in every land, they struggling with their problems and you with yours, but all joined in a common purpose; that, like the young people of my own country and of every country that I have visited, you are all in many ways more closely united to the brothers of your time than to the older generations in any of these nations. You're determined to build a better future.President Kennedy was speaking to the young people of America, but beyond them to young people everywhere, when he said: "the energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it; and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." And, he added, "With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."5I thank you.。

------Stand tall like a sunflower （如向日葵般高高站立）That’s when I realized that if a tiny sunflowers didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. Once your environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little sunflowers, we can attain the same nourishment and nurturing as well.那时，我认识到，如果一株小小的向日葵都没有让一块大石头挡住它成长的路，那么我们也有能力做同样的事情。

一旦我们的环境开始看到，我们像那株小小的向日葵一样相信自己，我们就能够得到同样的养分并且成长起来。

Stand tall like a sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle to reach your desires.只要你像向日葵一样高高站着，为自己自豪，环境就开始支持你。

最终，你会在障碍下边或其周围找到一条出路，达成你的愿望。

企鹅古典系列Penguin Classics

英国企鹅出版集团（现在属于朗文集团的一个分支）这个月刚刚迎来了它70周岁生日。

与有着五个世纪历史的剑桥和牛津出版社相比，年轻的企鹅或许为英国的知识分子的精神生活贡献了更多。

1964年企鹅经典丛书的主编E.V. Rieu退休时，自豪地宣称他主编的一系列丛书——以最畅销的《奥德赛》为代表——是“20世纪最有影响的教育资源”。

平装书革命：一个念头改变世界1935年对于英国乃至世界出版史而言，是一个具有划时代意义的年份。

在1935年以前，如果你没有足够的钱或图书馆的借书卡，想要读到一本好书是件很不容易的事。

彼时英国，阅读主要是有闲的贵族的习惯，因此书籍通常是精装且价钱昂贵，普罗大众莫敢问津。

而少量的平装书几乎就是内容粗制滥造的标志。

1935年，时任Bodley Head出版社老板的艾伦·莱恩（Allenlane）因业务关系，陪同著名侦探小说家阿加沙·克里斯蒂来海边小镇Exeter参观访问。

在等回程火车的时候，他想买几本书在车上解闷。

不想附近的书报摊除了杂志就是维多利亚时代的旧小说，根本没有别的读物。

莱恩目睹如此现状，由此生出一个念头：何不将优秀的现当代文学作品，以前所未有的平装书形式出版，让所有买不起精装书的人都能读到呢？一个念头改变整个世界，“企鹅”的神话由此开篇。

艾伦·莱恩并不是平装书的发明者，但他却第一个看到了平装书的无限潜力———大众的阅读市场。

他将原本不成气候的平装书本出版汇成一个品牌，以最专业的态度进行精心的包装、设计、宣传推广……第一套企鹅丛书出版印刷就体现了文学作品精粹与新式艺术设计的完美结合，有别于雍容奢华的精装书籍，这些独特、时髦的“造物”出自籍籍无名的小印刷厂，用胶水和纸张简单装订而成———每本只卖6便士3先令。

6便士3先令在当时正好能买一包香烟，而与一包烟同样廉价的平装书，却成为普罗人群的一个知识入口：那个原本被贵族阶层占有乃至垄断的当代小说、必读经典、推理探案、严肃历史和纯诗歌的阅读世界，通过这个被设计和码放得整整齐齐的入口，面对劳动阶层敞开。

巴黎伦敦落魄记英文版Paris and London: Tales of Triumph and DesolationIntroduction:In the cities of Paris and London, two vibrant metropolises on opposite sides of the English Channel, there lies a tale of contrasting fates. This article delves into the narratives of these two cities, exploring their rich history, cultural significance, and the challenges that have afflicted each at various points in time. Paris and London, often referred to as sister cities, share a long-standing rivalry and a unique bond shaped by their similarities and differences.1. A Tale of Triumph: Paris1.1 The Eiffel Tower and the City of LightParis, famously known as the "City of Light," stands as a beacon of triumph. At the heart of this remarkable city stands the Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of grace and elegance, capturing the imagination of millions of visitors each year. Its soaring iron lattice structure and breathtaking views serve as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural genius. The Tower's allure has played a significant role in establishing Paris as a global cultural capital.1.2 The Louvre Museum – A Treasure Trove of ArtWithin the enchanting streets of Paris lies an artistic marvel – the Louvre Museum. Home to some of the world's most renowned masterpieces, including the enigmatic Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the Louvre is atestament to Paris' triumph in preserving and celebrating artistic heritage. Its vast collection spans centuries, offering visitors a mesmerizing journey through time and culture.1.3 Parisian Cuisine – A Culinary TriumphBeyond its architectural splendor and artistic treasures, Paris is renowned for its gastronomic delights. From the delicate pastries of patisseries to the rich flavors of traditional French cuisine, the city's culinary scene is a testament to its triumph in the realm of fine dining. Parisian food culture, characterized by elegance and sophistication, has captivated taste buds across the globe, cementing the city's position as a culinary capital.2. A Tale of Desolation: London2.1 The Blitz and ResilienceWhile Paris boasts triumphs, London has faced its fair share of desolation. During the Second World War, the city endured relentless bombings, known as the Blitz, causing widespread destruction and loss. Despite the devastation, Londoners displayed an indomitable spirit, epitomizing resilience in the face of hardship. The rebirth of London from the ashes showcases the city's determination to preserve its heritage and emerge stronger.2.2 The Tower of London – A Dark PastWithin the heart of London stands the Tower of London, a structure shrouded in a dark past. Built as a palace, prison, and fortress, it witnessed the rise and fall of kings, the execution of queens, and tales of betrayal and intrigue. This historic landmark reflects the desolation that has markedcertain chapters of London's history, serving as a constant reminder of both the city's resilience and the shadows it has endured.2.3 The East End – From Squalor to RenaissanceThe East End of London, once synonymous with poverty and despair, has experienced a renaissance in recent times. Long associated with the Dickensian era and the hardships faced by the working class, the area has undergone extensive urban regeneration. The transformation of the East End testifies to London's resolve to uplift marginalized communities and channel desolation into hope.Conclusion:Paris and London are cities steeped in history, each with its own tale of triumph and desolation. Paris shines as a city of light, celebrated for its architectural marvels, artistic heritage, and culinary prowess. Meanwhile, London's desolation throughout history has been a catalyst for resilience and transformation. As these sister cities continue to shape the course of history, their stories remind us of the capacity of human spirit to overcome adversity and triumph over desolation.。

Skillful―Americans like to be handy at all things. They want to be jack-of-all-trades （person who can turn his hand to anything; workman knowing sth. of many trades 万能先生；对许多事都懂一点的人；博艺而不精的工人）. Nearly everyone knows how to use tools, make simple repairs to plumbing（水管设施） or electrical fixtures, refinish furniture or paint a wall. Far from being thought a disgrace if he performs these “menial”(适合仆人做的) tasks, a man is thought ridiculous if he does not know how to perform them.

Major Works
In a German Pension(1911) The Woman at the store(1912)
The prelude(1918) Bliss and Other Stories(1920) Garden Party and Other Stories(1922)
Nevertheless, Mansfield was a New Zealand writer - she could not have written as she did had she not gone to live in England and France, but she could not have done her best work if she had not had firm roots in her native land. She used her memories in her writing from the beginning, people, the places, even the colloquial speech of the country form the fabric of much of her best work.

Icould not have lived in a lovelier location. The view from the Natural History Museum along Merrion Square and Mount Street to St Stephen’s Church—the Pepper Canister, as it is fondly called—is one of the most hand -some and dignified prospects in any of the world’s cities that I know or have visited.

他还斩获不少其他重要奖项，包括卡夫卡奖（2011）、爱尔兰笔会奖（2013）、澳大利亚国家文学奖（2013）、奥地利王子奖（2014）等。

他曾以本杰明·布莱克（Benjamin Black）为笔名，创作了主角为奎尔克（Quirke）的犯罪小说系列。

2007年，班维尔入选英国皇家文学学会。

“街上”节选自班维尔的散文集《光阴拾碎——都柏林回忆录》（TimePieces: A Dublin Memoir ，2016）第四章。

人的记忆不一定是连贯的，往往以碎片形式嵌于我们的脑中。

那些可捡拾的记忆片段，是随着时间逐渐深刻的人生经验；我们年轻时错过不少“熟视之若无睹也”的事物，所幸，岁月会赋予我们辩识真善美的智慧，那些险些被记忆抛却的终将会被捡起。

unit 4 The lady on Pemberton Street 翻译

Unit 4 The Lady on Pemberton Street 潘伯敦街上的女士by Albert DiBartolomeo 艾伯特?迪巴特罗门作者与妻子搬到一条叫作潘伯顿的小街上居住后不久,就结识了一位特殊的邻居——梅布尔?霍华德。

为了使社区的生活变得更美好，她一女装生都在与乱扔垃圾、腐朽、混乱的现象作斗争。

下面是梅布尔?霍华德这位广受爱戴的街区监视员的动人故事。

多年来,我和妻子苏一直想住到费城的中心城区四周。

按收进状况，我们只能住在一条叫做潘伯顿的小街上的联体房屋。

屋子需要修理，但我手工活做得不赖，所以不担心修缮的事。

让我们担心的是这个街区。

一些房屋已经失修。

这儿的犯罪比我们过往见过的要多得多。

但我们的街区似乎还可以，所以我们决定把屋子买下来。

一切收拾停当后，我们搬到新家。

街上空无一人，但我感到有人在注视我们。

苏在楼上丈量尺寸，好装窗帘，我听到叩门声。

“您好？”一个又高又尖的声音喊道。

我打开门，看到一位妇人，明亮的双眼既犀利又透着愉快。

她至少65岁，清瘦，但一点也不虚弱。

恰恰相反。

她肌肉强健，看上往像只老鹰盯着它的猎物。

“对不起，打搅您了,亲爱的”，她说，“我是梅布尔?霍华德，这个街区的监视员。

”我对街区监视员的含义所知甚少。

但我很快意识到街区监视员的作用就是提出城市的公益服务要求，向警方汇报纠纷以及组织气力保持街区的清洁与安全。

我把梅布尔先容给下楼来的苏。

“我是街区的监视员，”见我忘了提及她的头衔，梅布尔对苏说。

“星期二倒垃圾，”梅布尔继续说道，“星期一晚上七点以前不准把垃圾放到外面。

动物有时会钻进垃圾堆，弄得一团糟，实在有碍观瞻。

我得想法保持街区清洁。

”“我们留意到了，” 我说。

“你们从事什么职业？”我们告诉了她，我还顺便提到，我兼职做些手工活。

“喔，很好。

”她拉长了声音说出最后一个词，语气就象是看到了美味的蛋糕似的。

我们继续客套着，直到我和苏不得不继续工作。

我把梅布尔送到门口。
