After three days in Japan one gets quite used to bowing to people as a ritual to show gratitude．7)I was about to make my little bow of assent, when the meaning of these last words sank in, jolting me out of my sad reverie .I was on the point of showing my agreement by nodding when I suddenlyrealized what he meant．His words shocked me out my sad dreamy thinking．8)I thought somehow I had been spared.I thought for some reason or other no harm had been done to me．Lesson3 Ships in the Desert1. the prospects of a good catch looked bleakIt was not at all possible to catch a large amount of fish.2.He moved his finger back in time to the ice of two decades ago.Following the layers of ice in the core sample, his finger came to the place where the layer of ice was formed 2050 years ago.3.keeps its engines running to prevent the metal parts from freeze-locking together keeps its engines running for fear that if he stops them, the metal parts would be frozen solid and the engines would not be able to start again4.Considering such scenarios is not a purely speculative exercise.Bit by bit trees in the rain forest are felled and the land is cleared and turned into pasture where cattle can be raised quickly and slaughtered and the beef can be used in hamburgers.5.Acre by acre, the rain forest is being burned to create fast pasture for fast-food beef…Since miles of forest are being destroyed and the habitat for these rare birds no longer exists, thousands of birds which we have not even had a chance to see will become extinct.6 which means we are silencing thousands of songs we have never even heard.

The Middle Eastern Bazaar 课文翻译中东的集市
The Middle Eastern Bazaar 课文翻译中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。
此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。
你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。
这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。
赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。
市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。
你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。
各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。
随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。
这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。
布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。
中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。
例如，在布市上，所有那1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。
讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。
头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。
对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。

The Middle EastGeographically it generally refers to the area from Afghanistan to Egypt, including the Arabian Peninsula, Cyprus, and Asiatic Turkey.中东是指哪里？以欧洲（法国）为中心向东划分，近东（东欧、土耳其）、中东（阿拉伯地区、中亚）、远东（中国、东亚）中东地区”或“中东”是指地中海东部与南部区域，从地中海东部到波斯湾的大片地区，“中东”地理上也是非洲与欧亚大陆的亚区。

BazaarA bazaar is an oriental market-place where a variety of goods is sold. The word perhapscomes from the Persian word bazaar.(in Iran, India & other eastern countries) street of workshops and shops; the part of a town where markets and shopping streets are.GothicThe word "gothic" is used in three ways:1. a building such as a cathedral that is gothic has a style of architecture that is distinguished by tall pillars, high vaulted ceilings and pointed arches,(of a style of building in Western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, with pointed arches, arched roofs, tall thin pillars, and stained glass windows )2. Gothic is used to describe literature that contains both horrible and frightening images. A Gothic story or film etc is about frightening things that happen in mysterious old building and lonely places, in a style that was popular in the early 19th century. However, what is horrible and frightening to some may be sensual and romantic to others.3.

Fromthe text we can see it is a long, narrow, dark street of workshops and shops with some sort of a roof over them.4) In front of the gateway there is a big, open square. It is hot there and thebrightness of the sunlight is most disagreeable. But when you enter thegateway, you come to a long, narrow, dark street with some sort of a roof over it and it is cool inside.4. which extends as far as the eye can see ：The words eye and ear are used in the singular not to mean the concrete organ of sight or hearing but something abstract', they are often used figuratively.

The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by littlestalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold:1) road-way：(the roadway) the middle part of a road where vehicles drive e.g.Don't stop on the roadway, go to the side.2) stall'：small, open-fronted shop, table etc. used by a trader in a market, on astreet, e.g.a book-stall! a flower-stall3) The small shops lining the street try to expand their shop space byencroaching on the street, so the street becomes narrow every few yards.4) goods of every conceivable kind '• goods of every kind you canthink of e. g.people of every conceivable age, nationality', buildings of every conceivableshapeNote the spelling of the word conceivable '• it is formed in accordance with the old rule' "i" before "e" except after "c".8.

When we exhibitflowers, animals, children's drawings, unearthed relics, etc., we want to bringtheir inherent properties to light.e.g.The host took us through his stable to show us his horses. He exhibited with particular pride two snow white tares) He himself led them out of the stable, in order to display to advantage their Week coats.14. Bargaining is the order of the day : bargaining is the normal way of doing things(the) order of the day' that which is of the greatest general interest at a particular time! prevailing state of things, e.g.They failed to act since confusion was the order of the day at the headquarters.

The teachers make a point of setting strict demands on the students.Tourists to Beijing make a point of visiting the Great Wall.While helping the young workers develop political consciousness, the veteran workers made a special point of upgrading their cultural levels andprofessional skills.3) The seller thinks it is necessary for him to declare that the price he is askingmakes it impossible for him to gain any profit.19. and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer: He is selling the thing at less than its cost because he respects the customer.20. with the customer coming and going at intervals: the customer , A. bargains for some time, then leaves (hoping to frighten the seller that he might lose the customer) and comes back again after a period of time and carries on the bargaining21．One of the most . . . copper-smiths' market-'1) picturesque'- striking, vivid2) impressive- deeply impressing mind or senses, esp. so as to cause approval or admiration22． As you approach it ... on your ear-'1) tinkling'- a succession of light, ringing sounds (e.g. of a small bell)2) banging '• hit violently, to make a loud noise (e.g. to bang a door)3) clashing- make a loud, broken, confused noise (as when metal objects strike together) (e.g. swords clash, the clashing of cymbals)4) impinge (o n )'- have an effect (on)! strike23．It grows louder and more distinct '•1) it '• the tinkling and banging and clashing2) distinct '• not only clear, but easily heard, clearly marked,distinguished apart from other sounds24．until you round a corner . . . lamps and braziers •1) round- make a turn about2) dancing flashes: quick bright lights moving up and down3) catch the light of: (intercept and reflect the light of ...4) The dancing flashes are reflections of the (unsteady) lights from the lamps and braziers thrown on the polished copper.25．hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes:away '• continuously, constantly 'e.g. working, laughing, muttering away26．the shop-owner . . . sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself . .take a hand.

Lesson 1The Middle Eastern Bazaar①The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds --- even thousands --- of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic - arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, dark cavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold. The din of the stall-holder; crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you dizzy.②Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, deadens the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit.③One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can know where to find them, and so that they can form a closely knit guild against injustice or persecution . In the cloth-market, for instance, all the sellers of material for clothes, curtains, chair covers and so on line the roadway on both sides, each open-fronted shop having a trestle table for display and shelves for storage. Bargaining is the order of the cay, and veiled women move at a leisurely pace from shop to shop, selecting, pricing and doing a little preliminary bargaining before they narrow down their choice and begin the really serious business of beating the price down.④It is a point of honour with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment. If he does guess correctly, he will price the item high, and yield little in the bargaining. The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer. Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customer coming and going at intervals.⑤One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ear. It grows louder and more distinct, until you round a corner and see a fairyland of dancing flashes, as the burnished copper catches the light of innumerable lamps and braziers. In each shop sit the apprentices – boys and youths, some of them incredibly young – hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the shop-owner instructs, and sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself. In the background, a tiny apprentice blows a big charcoal fire with a huge leather bellows worked by a string attached to his big toe -- the red of the live coals glowing, bright and then dimming rhythmically to the strokes of the bellows.⑥Here you can find beautiful pots and bowls engraved with delicate and intricate traditional designs, or the simple, everyday kitchenware used in this country, pleasing in form, but undecorated and strictly functional.⑦Elsewhere there is the carpet-market, with its profusion of rich colours, varied textures and regional designs -- some bold and simple, others unbelievably detailed and yet harmonious. Then there is the spice-market, with its pungent and exotic smells; and the food-market, where you can buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner, or sit in a tiny restaurant with porters and apprentices and eat your humble bread and cheese. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters' market lie elsewhere in the maze of vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. Every here and there, a doorway gives a glimpse of a sunlit courtyard, perhaps before a mosque or a caravanserai, where camels lie disdainfully chewing their hay, while the great bales of merchandise they have carried hundreds of miles across the desert lie beside them.⑧Perhaps the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar, apart from its general atmosphere, is the place where they make linseed oil. It is a vast, sombre cavern of a room, some thirty feet high and sixty feet square, and so thick with the dust of centuries that the mud brick walls and vaulted roof are only dimly visible. In this cavern are three massive stone wheels, each with a huge pole through its centre as an axle. The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel. This revolves in a circular stone channel, into which an attendant feeds linseed. The stone wheel crushes it to a pulp, which is then pressed to extract the oil .The camels are the largest and finest I have ever seen, and in superb condition – muscular, massive and stately.⑨The pressing of the linseed pulp to extract the oil is done by a vast ramshackle apparatus of beams and ropes and pulleys which towers to the vaulted ceiling and dwarfs the camels and their stone wheels. The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders creak and groan, ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can. Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the camels.中东的集市（中东的集市带大家认识中东国家的风土人情和生活习俗哥特式建筑！）中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。
