Before the family built their own house, they lived in a shabby cabin at Gopher Key, close to the merciless Walton. The author uses an understatement -not the most gracious of living quarters -to describe their shabby, temporary home.6. We had abundant food on the island, and even the meals enjoyed by King Richard, who was famous for his love of food, couldn't possibly compare with ours. The tone shows the content of the author with the adequate supply of food on the island.7. Although it was very hot outside in the sun, we were happy to be dismissed from my mother's sessions indoors. We would have to read and write with her every day no matter what the weather was like.Lesson 41. The impact of Mike's leaving on my life was beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that Mike's leaving would have such a tremendous power that it would change the meaning of my existence completely. All my thoughts were about loss of Mike.2. At that time, we were young mothers, and we were supposed to lead a terribly busy life full of confusion and bewilderment caused by giving birth to and raising babies. And our minds were supposed to be fully occupied by how to feed the babies and things like that. However, in the midst of all this we still felt the need to discuss some of the important thinkers of our time like Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and T. S. Eliot’s sophisticated work "The Cocktail Party".3. 1 would be frightened, and my fear was not caused by my neighbors' visibly hostile and violent way of life, but by a kind of formless and hidden emptiness and meaninglessness of human existence. What happened around me was totally irrelevant to me, and I feel very isolated and alienated.4. She did not ask me abut my new life, either out of subtle consideration for my feeling about this sensitive subject or out of disapproval of my new life style.5. 1t would be a morally low thing, an indecent thing to commit infidelity in the house of a friend.6. 1 knew that he was a person who had experienced the worst in life, the hardest experience a person might have to endure.7. They experienced the worst together and they knew what it was like and understood the meaning of that experience. Such an experience posed the gravest test to people. If they stood the test, their friendship or marriage would be strengthened, and a sacred bondage would be formed between them. But if they failed the test, their relationship would be broken and they would be driven apart.8. 1f they acted on love, they would take risks. They wouldn't do that or go further in their relationship, but they would rather let their love remain as a sweet trickle, which would flow on gently and permanently, and as an underground resource, which would never be fully tapped but would never go dry.Lesson 61. The raising of a pig is like a tragedy, because it always ends in the killing of the pig, and the set pattern一buying, raising and butchering一is strictly followed in most terms. The killing, deliberately planned and efficiently carried out, is the most serious type of murder, yet, whether pigs should be killed and meat served has never been questioned.2. A pig couldn't ask for any better living conditions; at least no pig has ever complained.3. . .. since a pig is, like a child, always hungry, the whole family would be worried when it refuses to eat.4. Fred was quite exited about the event. He was down at the pigpen all the time. Because of his swollen joints, he moved about unsteadily. His face set ap.art the grass along the fence as he moved about. He was like a doctor, with his Jong, drooping ears dangling like a stethoscope, and he scrabbled on the ground as if he were prescribing some medicine.5. When things were ready for the closing of the pig, Fred became even more excited. With short legs and a long body, it managed to get through the fence and acted as if it was taking charge of the medical treatment.6. . . . 0ur procession was a serious and efficient one. Fred, who acted as the pallbearer, walked unsteadily in the back, though he was not qualified for that function. The sorrow of losing a family member was shown clearly in his face. The autopsy of the body's inwards was done right at the side of the grave. The intestines at the pig were first thrown into the grave, so the pig could lie exactly on those things that caused his death.7. . . . 1f a pig dies before he is supposed to, it is a serious matter for the whole community to remember. The whole community would share the sadness for his death.8. The purpose of this essay is to show that l am sorry for what has happened to my pig, since 1 have failed to raise the pig and cannot provide a reason why it didn't grow the way other pigs have grown,9. The pig's grave in the woods doesn't have a tombstone, but whenever somebody wants to visit it, Fred will show the way. I know Fred and I will often visit it, separate or together, when we need to ponder over problems or when we are depressed. And these days will be like memorial days, with the only difference of not hoisting the national flag.Lesson 91. This is perhaps because they only have places of birth, but not places where they feel at home and which they identify themselves with. But these girls are strongly influenced by their hometown, and the influence stays with them forever even after they leave their hometown.2. The brown girls try hard to repress their emotions and passions. However, these natural human emotions cannot be wiped out totally. Sometimes they will emerge and burst out. And they will develop, become stronger and stay with them So whenever and wherever this funk bursts out, the brown girls will do their best to stifle it.3. 1f his needs were physical, she could meet them. She could make him comfortable and give him enough or even more than enough to satisfy his physical needs.4. Geraldine had seen black girls like Pecola at many places and many times in the past.5. 0n the one hand, they (girls like Pecola) were ignorant and uncomprehending. They did not ask question why their lives were so miserable. On the other hand, as they were poverty-stricken and practically had nothing, their eyes revealed their desire for anything that could make their lives easier.6. 1n the eyes of these girls one can see that they were in despair, without any hope for the future, and that their life was nothing but a waste.7. As the girls were growing into young women, they had never worn girdles to make their figure look slimmer, and thus more elegant; and when the boys grew up, they just began to wear their caps with the bills turned backward to indicate that they had become adults.Lesson 101.As Saint George is a hero, the patron of arms, symbolizing chivalry, his image often appears on banners,and his name is often mentioned in the speeches of politicians (politicians often pay lip service to him).Saint George is used as a symbolic figure for political purposes. But John Bull is the tradesman and he delivers the goods we need in our daily life while making money at the same time.2.The English public schools have four unique features. First, all boys live in boarding houses. Second, sportsand games are organized and compulsory as part of the school curricula. Third, older students have special duties to help control younger students while the latter must do jobs for the former. Lastly, great emphasis is placed on good form and team spirit. These features enable the public school students to have disproportionately great influence.3.Pay attention to my use of the word "bankrupt", a word related to business. This reveals my identity as amember of the commercial nation, who would be careful and sensible enough to avoid any risks of failing to pay their debts.4.But my friend expressed his views as a member of the Oriental countries. They are nourished by a traditionof great generosity and richness, which is different from the English tradition of middle-class prudence.5.In this aspect, true love is different from material things such as clay or even gold which can be divided andtaken away. Yet, if we share true love, it will never diminish.6.In the above anecdote, I have become an example of the Englishmen for the moment. That put me in a highposition which makes me dizzy and is unfamiliar to me. I will now come down from that height and return to my role as your commentator on the characteristics of the Englishman.7.The Englishman's nervous system acts promptly and feels slowly. The combination of the two qualities isuseful, and anyone who has this combination is mostly likely to be brave.8.As literature is based on national character, there must be in the English nature hidden resources of passionthat have produced the great romantic literature we see.9.That kind of criticism is just like Bernard Shaw's attacks. It is nothing new and I'm used to these tricks andjokes; they won't do any harm to me.10.The Englishmen think they have a tolerant and humorous attitude toward criticism. In fact it is not so,because their attitude is limited by uncomfortable laughter, which indicates that beneath the surface of their tolerant humorous attitude they are uneasy. When they try to be humorous and brush aside criticism, they would titter and guffaw. Such uncomfortable laughter is a sign of uneasiness.11.1I have already made all my opinions known to you. What is said is said, and being diplomatic cannotunsay what has been said.。

of Omelas were not simple people, not kind and gentle shepherds, not savages 6of high birth, nor mild idealists dreaming of a perfect society.76.This is the treason of the artist:a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible 8boredom of pain.9An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and 0pain is very dull and uninteresting.17.They were mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.2They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they 3were not miserable people.48.Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to 5the occasion.6Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells 7him, assuming his imagination will be equal to the task.89.The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the ways of the city.9The faint but compelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city. 010.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, 1and neglect.2Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has become very 3foolish and stupid because of fear, poor nourishment and neglect.411.Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment.5The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement 6even if it is treated kindly and tenderly.712.Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice 8of reality,and to accept it.9They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears 0dry up when they realize how just and fair though terrible reality was.12345第十课61.The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle aged.7At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it 8longingly.92.The rejection of Victorian gentility was, in any case, inevitable.In any case, an American could not avoid casting aside its middle-class respectability and 1affected refinement.23.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian slcial 3structure,…4The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.54…it was tempted, in America at least, to escape its responsibilities and retreat behind an 6air of naughty alcoholic sophistication…7In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. 8They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.95.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures 0illicit,…1The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making 2drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.36…our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.4Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.57…they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up”.6The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended. 78….they had outgrown towns and families…8These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their 9families.9…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical dogoodism of Prohibition,…1The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed 2would do good to the people.310.Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…4(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very 5tense, had to break down.611…it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pens inflamed against war, 7Babbittry, and “Puritanical” gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center…8It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings were filled with 9violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers 0to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.112.Each town had its”fast” set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…2Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional 3lives.4567第十一课81…below the noisy arguments,the abuse and the quarrels,there is a reservoir of 9instinctive-feeling…The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists 1a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.22…at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them.3What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider 4to be lazy and troublesome people.53….there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor,…6There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy 7employers on the board of managers (or governing board of a factory).84.It demands bigness, and they are suspicious of bigness.9The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not 0like or trust bigness.15.Against this, at least superficially, Englishness seems a poor shadowy show…2At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, 3English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.46….while Englishness is not hostile to change, it is deeply suspicious of change for change’s 5sake,…6Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for 7no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.87.To put cars and motorways before houses seems to Englishness a communal imbecility.9To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public 0stupidity~18.I must add that while Englishness can still fight on, Admass could be winning.2I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility 3of Admass winning.49.It must have some moral capital to draw upon, and soon it may be asking for an overdraft. 5Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and 6soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.710.They probably believe, as I do, that the Admass “Good Life” is a fraud on all counts. 8These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and 9dishonest in all respects.11.They can be found, too-though not in largenumbers because the breed is duing out- among 1crusty High Tories who avoid the City and directors’ fees.2They can be found too though there are not many of them now because these kind of people are 3dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, extremely conservative politicians who refuse to accept 4high posts in big commercial enterprises.512….they are inept, shiftless, slovenly, messy.6They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.713…he will not even find much satisfaction in this scrounging messy existence, which does 8nothing for a man’s self-respect.9He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages 0to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build 1up any self-respect.214.To them the House of Commons is a remote squabbling-shop.3These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are 4always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.515….heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away polotics.6If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they 7were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and 8thrown into prison.9123第十二课41.It is a complex fate to be an American…5The fate of an American is complicated and hard to understand.62…they were no more at home in Europe than I was.7They were uneasy and uncomfortable in Europe as I was.83.We were both searching for our separate identities.9They were all trying to find their own special individualities.4.I do not think that I could have made this reconciliation here.1I don't think I could have accepted in America my Negro status without feeling ashamed. 25.Europe can be very crippling too…3Europe can also have a very frustrating or disabling effect.46…it is easier to cut across social and occupational lines there than it is here.5It is easier in Europe for people of different social groups and occupations to intermingle 6and have social intercourse.77.A man can be as proud of being a good waiter as of being a good actor, and in neither case 8feel threatened.9In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and position. 0They are not jealous of each other and do not live in fear of losing their position.18.I was born in New York, but have lived only in pockets of it.2I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city.39.This reassessment, which can be very painful, is also very valuable.4The reconsideration of the significance and importance of many things that one had taken for 5granted in the past can be very painful, though very valuable.610.On this acceptance, literally, the life of a writer depends.7The life of a writer really depends on his accepting the fact that no matter where he goes 8or what he does he will always carry the marks of his origins.911.American writers do not have a fixed society to describe.American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed, so they do not have a fixed 1society to describe.212.Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumptions on 3the part of the people…4Every society is influenced and directed by hidden laws, and by many things deeply felt and 5taken for granted by the people, though not openly spoken about.6第十四课71.Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste…8Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.92.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends,…New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of 1America.23…sitcomes cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preempt the 3airwaves from California.4Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace 5the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.64. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attraction.7New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.85.To win in New York is to be uneasy…9A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid 0of losing what he has won in the fierce competition).16.nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.2The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.37…the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens.4At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken 5the night sky.68.But the purity of a bihemian dedication can be exaggerated.7But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.89.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.9In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, New York starts or originates 0very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts 1of the country.210.The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype,…3The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional 4advertising.511…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves in the magazines.6Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles 7for popular magazines.812.Broadway, which seemed to be succuming to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again. 9Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, 0is once again busy and active.113…he prefers the unhealthy haale and the vitality of urban life.2(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers 3the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.414.The defeated are not hidden away aomewhere else on the wrong side of town.5Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hidden away in slums 6or ghettoes where other people can't see them.715.The place constantly exasperates, st times exhilarates.8New York constantly irritates and annoys very much but at times it also invigorates and 9stimulates.1。

The Future of the EnglishParaphrase1.The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.2. What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider to be lazy and troublesome people.3. There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governing board of a factory).4. The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not like or trust bigness.5. At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.6. Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7. To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public stupidity~8. I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility of Admass winning.9. Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.10. These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11. He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.12. These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.13. If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.TranslationA1.他们甚至比自己想象中的英国人还要不同,倒是同他们自己感觉中的英国人差不多。

Paraphrase & TranslationLesson 11.Conversation is not for making a point.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view. In a conversation we should not try to establish the force of an idea or argument.2.The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him bybuilding their French against his own language.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rules. 3.The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and evenfacetiously by the lower classes.The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disparagingly and joking by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people. 4....that suddenly the alchemy of conversation took place, and all atonce there was a focus.Then suddenly a magical transformation took place and there was a f ocal subject to talk about.1.There is always resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by anupper class to lay down rules for “English as it should be spoken.”每当上流社会想给“规范英语”指定一些条条框框时,总会遭到来自下层人名的抵制。
2.Words are not themselves a reality, but only representations of it,and the King’s English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality.词语本身并不是现实,它不过是用以表达现实的一种形式而已。
标准英语就像诺曼人的盎格鲁式法语一样,也是一种对现实的阶级表达。
3.Perhaps it is worth trying to speak it, but it should not be laid downas an edict, and made immune to change from below.让人们学着去讲规范英语也许不错,但不应当把它作为一条必须执行的法令,也不应当使它完全拒绝来自下层的改变。
4.There is no worse conversationalist than the one who punctuates hiswords as he speaks as if he were writing, or even who tries to use words as if he were composing a piece of prose for print.要是有谁闲聊时像写文章那样标点分明,或者像写一篇要发表的散文一样咬文嚼字的话,那他一定是个最糟糕的聊天者。

2.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us as well or ill, that weshall pay any price, bear any burden, meet ay hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.让每个国家都知道——不论它盼望我们繁荣还是希望我们衰落——为确保自由的存在和自由的胜利,我们将付出任何代价,承受任何负担,应付任何艰难,支持任何朋友,反抗任何敌人。
3.We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms aresufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.我们不敢从怯弱来引诱他们,只有当我们毫无疑问地拥有足够的军备威慑敌人时,我们才能确保这些军备永远不会被使用。
4.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the finalsuccess or failure of our course.公民们,我们事业的最终成败与其说掌握在我手中,不如说掌握在你们手中。

我们祈求上帝的福佑和帮助,但我们知道,上帝在尘世的工作必须由我们自己努力去完成。
