现代大学英语第六册paraphrase答案(整理版1-4-5-6-9-10-11)
现代大学英语第六册paraphrase答案（整理版1,4,5,6,9,10,11）Lesson 1 How to get the poor off our conscience1.Virtue is ... self-centered.By right action, we mean it must help promote personal interest.2....(poverty) was a product of their excessive fecundity...The poverty of the poor was caused by their having too many children.3....the rich were not responsible for either its creation or its amelioration.The rich were not to blame for the existence of poverty so they should not be asked to undertake the task of solving the problem.4.It is merely the working out of a law of nature and a law of God.It is only the result or effect of the law of the survival of the fittest applied to nature of to human society.5. It declined in popularity, and references to its acquired a condemnatory tone.People began to reject Social Darwinism because it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose treasured values of sympathy, love and friendship. Therefore, when it was mentioned, it was usually the target of criticism.6....the search for a way of getting the poor off our conscience was not at an end; it wasonly suspended.The desire to find a way to justify the unconcern for the poor had not been abandoned, it had only been put off.7. ...only rarely given to overpaying for monkey wrenches, flashlights, coffee makers, andtoilet seats.Government officials, on the whole, are good, it is very rare that some would pay high prices for office equipment to get kickbacks.8.This is perhaps our most highly influential piece of fiction.It is a very popular story and has been accepted by many but it is not true.9.Belief can be the servant of truth---but even more of convenience.Belief can be useful in the search for truth, but more often than not it is accepted because it is convenient and self-serving.10.George Gilder... Who tells too…the cruel spur of their own suffering to ensure effort...George Gilder advances the view that only when the poor suffer from great misery will they be stimulated to make great efforts to change the situation, in other words, suffering is necessary to force the poor to work hard.Lesson4 nettles1.How all my own territory would be altered, ad if a landslide had gone through it andskimmed off all meaning except loss of Mike.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.During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman'smind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelledto discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and "The Cocktail Party".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....I would be frightened, not of any hostility but of a kind of nonexistence.I would be frightened, and my fear was not caused by my neighbor's visibly hostile and violentway 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 felt very isolated and alienated.4.She did not ask me---was it delicacy or disapproval?---about my new life.She did not ask me about my new life, either out of subtle consideration for my feeling about this sensitive subject or out of disapproval for my new life style.5.I t would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends.It would be a morally low thing, an indecent thing to commit infidelity in the house of a friend.6.I knew now that he was a person who had hit rock bottom.I knew that he was a person who had experienced the worst in life, the hardest experience aperson might have to endure.7.He and wife knew that together and it bound them, as something like that would eitherbreak you apart or bind you, for life.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 flow on gently and8.Not risking a thing yet staying alive as a sweet trickle, an underground resource. Withthe weight of this now stillness on it, this seal.If 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...Lesson 5 The One Against the Many1. ....the national rejection of dogmatic preconceptions about the nature of the social andeconomic orderThere are such prejudices in an arrogant manner about the characteristic of the social order and economic order and they take it for granted. The country just rejected such prejudice.2. Nor can one suggest that Americans have been consistently vulnerability to secular ideology ever after No one can say that Americans have never been tempted by the approach of understanding, preserving or transforming the world according to rigid dogmas.3.and any intellect so shaped was ...ever afterA mind influenced by Calvinist theology would surely find it somewhat difficult to resist otherideological temptations to ideological thinking.4. Pragmatism is no more wholly devoid...experiencePragmatism is not completely free from abstract ideas just as ideology is not completely free from experience, that is to say, abstract ideas have a place in pragmatism just as experience hasa role in ideology.5. As an ideologist, however, Jefferson....historical curiosityAs a man following a fixed set of beliefs, Jefferson is only an interesting historical figure. His beliefs are out of date and are irrelevant to present-day reality.6....whose central dogma is confided to the custody of an infallible priesthoodTheir central beliefs are imprisoned by the whole body of priests who are always effective. 1....where free men may find partial truths, but where ...on Absolute TruthIn this universe a person whose mind is unconstrained may be able to discover relation truths but no man on earth can claim that he has already grasped the one and only truth.2.But ideology is a drug; no matter how ...it still persists.Ideology has the characteristic of a narcotic. In spite of the fact that it has been proved wrong many times by experience, people still long to commit themselves to ideology.3....the only certainty in an.....abuseThe only thing that is sure of a despotic system is the unrestricted exercise of power.10. The distinctive human triumph...lies in the capacity to understand the frailty of humanstriving ...nonethelessThe most outstanding achievement of humanity is they know that no matter how hard they try, they cannot achieve Absolute truth, yet they continue to make great efforts and refuse to give up.Lesson6 Death of a pig1. It is a tragedy enacted on most farms with ...The murder, being premeditated, is in thefirst degree...and the smoked bacon and ham provide...questionedThe tragedy has an ending---the killing of a pig and the serving of its meat. The killing deliberately planned and carried out efficiently, is the most type of murder. However, whether pigs should end their lives that way has never been questioned.2. A pig couldn't ask for anything better or none has, at any rateA pig could not ask for any better living conditions; at least no pig has ever complained. In aword, my pig lived in a pleasant environment3.You could see him down there at all hours, his white face parting ...his stethoscopedangling ...and grinning his corrosive grinFred was quite excited about the event. He was down at the pigpen all the time. Because of his swollen joints, he moved about unsteadily. His face set apart the grass along the fence as he moved about. He was like a doctor, with his long, drooping ears dangling like a stethoscope, and he scrabbled on the ground as if he were prescribing some medicine.4.When the enema bag appeared, and the bucket of warm suds, his happiness...full chargeof the irrigationWhen it was time to dose the pig, Fred became even more excited, and he managed to get through the fence, and acted as if he was taking charge of the medical treatment.5....and the premature expiration of a pig is...a sorrow in which it feels fully involvedIf 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.6.I have written this account in penitence and in grief, as a man who...and to explainmy...so many raised pigsThe purpose of this essay is to show that I am sorry for what has happened to my pig,since I have failed to raise the pig and cannot provide a reason why my pig could didn't grow the way other pigs have grown.7.The grave in the woods is unmarked, but ...and I know he and I...on flagless …ownchoosingThe pig's grave in the woods doesn't have a tombstone, but whenever somebody wants to visit it, Fred will show him the way.I know we will often visit it, separate or together, when we need to ponder over problems or when we are depressed.Lesson 9 The Bluest Eye1.Perhaps because they don’t have hometowns……and it never leaves them.This is perhaps because they only have places of birth, but no places where there feel at home and which they identify themselves with. But these girls are strongly influenced by their hometowns, and the influence stays with them forever even they leave their hometowns.2.Wherever it erupts, this Funk, they wipe it away…they find it and fight it until it dies.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.As long as his needs were physical, she could meet them—comfort and satiety.If these 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.She had seen this little girl all of her life.Geraldine had seen black girls like Pecola at many places and many times in the past.5.Eyes that questioned nothing and asked everything.On the one hand, they (girls like Pecola) were ignorant and uncomprehending. They did not ask the question that 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.The end of the world lay in their eyes, and the beginning, and all the waste in between.In 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.Th e girls grew up knowing nothing of girdles……the bills of their caps backward.As the girls were growing into young women, they had neverworn 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 10 Notes on the English Character1.Saint George may caper on banners and……who delivers the goods.As Saint George is a hero, the person of arms, symbolizing chivalry, his image often appears on banners, and his name is often mentioned in the speeches of politicians. Saint George is used as a symbolic figure for political purposes. But John Bull is a tradesman and he delivers the goods we need in our daily life while making money at the same time.2.With its boarding-houses, its compulsory games……all proportion to itsnumbers.The English public schools have unique features. First, all boys live in boarding houses. Second, sports and games are organized and compulsory as part of the school curricular. 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.Note the word “bankrupt”……anxious to meet any liabilities.Pay attention to my use of the word “bankrupt”, a word related to business. This reveals my identity as a member 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 spoke as an Oriental……but of kingly munificence andsplendor.But my friend expressed his views as a member of the Oriental countries. They are nourished by a tradition of great generosity and richness, which is different from the English tradition of middle-class prudence.5.True love in this differs from gold and clay……not to take away.In this aspect, true love is different from material things such as clay or even gold which can be divided and taken away. Yet, if we share true love, it will never diminish.6.I will now descend from that dizzy……my business of notetaking.In the above anecdote, I have become an example of the English man for the moment. That put men in a high position which makes me dizzy and its unfamiliar to me. I will now come down from that height and return to my role as your commentator on the characteristics of the English man.7.Such a combination is fruitful, and anyone who possesses it had gone a longway toward being brave.The Englishman’s nervous system acts promptly and feels slowly. The combination of the two qualities is useful, and anyone who has this combination is most likely to be brave.8.Since literature rests on national character……hidden spirits…we see.As literature is based on national character, there must be in the English nature hidden resources of passion that have produced the great romantic literature we see.9.“Oh, I’m used to Bernard Shaw; monkey tricks don’t hurt me.That kind of criticism is just like Bernard Shaw’s attacks. It is nothing new and I’m used to these tricks and jokes; they won’t do any harm to me.10.And the “tolerant humorous attitude”...bounded by the titter and the guffaw.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.The cats are all out of their bags, and diplomacy cannot recall them.I have already made all my opinions known to you.

If so, I wish I could make compensation to her now, before she is married.3.The glow of happiness has to cool……crystalli ze into memory.With the passing of time, you will feel a bit more detached from the happy event and then you can recall things more clearly and they will stick in your mind.4. A wedding gown will eventually grow ……seep out of the brightest day.The clothes made for the occasion of wedding, though kept in a box specially treated to repel moths, will have a moldy smell as time goes on; flowers will gradually lose their color and die and even the brightest day will grow dim.5.I feel certain that genuine bea uty……alone but out in the world.I firmly believe that true beauty is not shallow and it exists not because we think itexists but because it actually exists outside of us.6.Yet I persist in believing there is……this tingle than an evolutionary reflex.An evolutionary response cannot adequately explain why there is this physical feeling of excitement. There must be another more important reason—beauty.7.You cannot pursue the law of nature……without pumping into the beauty.If you try to study the law of nature, very soon you will encounter beauty. The study of the law of nature will inevitably lead to the discovery of beauty.8.Because the Creation puts……beauty is free and inexhaustible.Since the birth of the universe, everything in it has revealed its own wonder continuously. Unlike ordinary commodities which cost money and whose supply is limited, beauty is free and inexhaustible.9.Beauty feeds us from the same source that created us.When God created us, He also created beauty.10.

paigns celebrating the Big Apple, those T-shirts with a heart design proclaiming “I love New York,”are signs, pathetic in their desperation, of how the m ighty has fallen. New York City used to leave the bragging to others, for bragg ing w as “bush” Being unique, the biggest and the best, New York didn’t have to assert how special it was.’t the top anym ore, at least if the top is m easured by who begets the styles and sets the trends. Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste as often as it is out of step with Am erican politics. Once it was the nation’s undisputed fashion authority, but it too long resisted the incom ing casual style and lost its m onopoly. No longer so looked up to or copied, New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing Am erican trends, a place to escape Comm on Denom inator Land.ore and m ore evident. A dozen other cities have buildings m ore inspired architecturally than any built in New York City in the past twenty years. The giant Manhattan television studios where Toscanini’s NBCSym phony once played now sit empty m ost of the time, while sitcoms cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preem pt the airways from California. Tin Pan Alley has m oved to Nashville and Hollywood. Vegas casinos routinely pay heavy sum s to singers and entertainers whom no nightspot in Manhattan can afford to hire. In sports, the bigger superdom es, the m ore exciting teams, them ost enthusiastic fans, are often found elsewhere.–being regarded as unfriendly, unsafe, overcrowded, and expensive –but it is m aking som ething of a com eback as a tourist attraction. Even so, m ost Americans would probably rate New Orleans, San Francisco, Washington, or Disneyland higher. A dozen other cities, including m yhom etown of Seattle, are widely considered better cities to live in.any Europeans call New York their favorite city? They take m ore readily than do m ost Americans to its cosm opolitan com plexities, its surviving, aloof, European standards, its alien mixtures. Perhaps som e of these Europeans are reassured by the sight, on the twin fashion avenues of Madison and Fifth, of all those familiar international nam es – the jewelers, shoe stores, and designer shops that exist to flatter and bilk the frivolous rich. But no; what m ost excites Europeans is the city’s charged, nervous atm osphere, its vulgar dynam ism .share of articulate losers, it is also about m ockery, the put-down , the loser’s shrug (“whaddya gonna do?”). It is about constant battles for subway seats, for a cabdriver’s or a clerk’s or a waiter’s attention, for a foothold , a chance, a better address, a larger billing. To win in New York is to be uneasy; to lose is to live in jostling proxim ity to the frustrated majority.e. And though I have lived there m ore than half m y life, you won’t find m e wearing an “I Love New York”T-shirt. But all in all, I can’t think of m any places in the world I’d rather live. It’s not easy to define why.’s pleasures are m uch qualified in New York. You never see a star-filledsky; the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens. Sunsets can be spectacular: oranges and reds tinting the sky over the Jersey m eadows and gaudily reflected in a thousand windows on Manha ttan’s jagged skyline. Nature constantly yields to m an in New York: witness those fragile sidewalk trees gamely struggling against encroaching cem ent and petrol fum es. Central Park, which Frederick Law Olm sted designed as lungs for the city’s poor, i s in places grassless and filled with trash, no longer pristine yet lively with the noise and vivacity of people, largely youths, blacks, and Puerto Ricans, enjoying them selves. On park benches sit older people,m ostly white, looking displaced. It has becom e less a tranquil park than an untidy carnival.our of the city, which never beckoned to m e from a distance, but itsopportunity –to practice the kind of journalism I wanted –drew me to New York. I wasn’t even sure how I’d m easure up against others who had been m ore soundly educated at Ivy League schools, or whether I could com pete against that tough local breed, those intellectual sons of immigrants, so highly m otivated and single-minded, such as Alfred Kazin, who for div ersion (for heaven’t sake!) played Bach’s Unaccompanied Partitas on the violin.ost banal and m arketable of one’s talents, still draws m any of the young to New York. That and, as always, the com pany of others fleeing som ething constricting where they cam e from. Together these young share a freedom, a community of inexpensive am usements, a casualliving, and som e rough tim es. It can’t be the living conditions that appeal, for only fond mem ory will forgive the inconvenience, risk, and squalor. Comm ercial Broadway m ay be inaccessible to them, but there is off- Broadway, and then off-off-Broadway. If painters disdain Madison Avenue’s plush art galleries, Madison Avenue dealers set up shop in the grubby precincts of Soho. But the purity of a bohem ian dedication can be exaggerated. The artistic young inhabit the sam e Greenwich Village and its fringes in which the experim entalists in the arts lived during the Depression, united by a world against them. But the present generation is enough of a subculture to be a source of profitable boutiques and coffeehouses. And it is not all that estranged.ost respects from mainland America, but in two areas it remains dominant. It is the banking and the comm unications headquarters for America. In both these roles it ratifies m ore than it creates. Wall Street will advance the m illions to m ake a Hollywood m ovie only if convinced that a bestselling title o r a star name will ensure its success. The networks’ news centers are here, and the largest book publishers, and the biggest m agazines – and therefore the largest body of critics to appraise the films, the plays, the m usic, the books that others have created. New York is a judging town, and often invokes standards that the rest of the country deplores or ignores. A m arket for knowingness exists in New York that doesn’t exist for knowledge.arkets and devising the catchy jingles that will m ove m illions from McDonald’s to Burger king, so that the adagency’s “creative director”can lunch instead in Manhattan’s expense-account French restaurants. The bankers and the admen. The m arketing specialists and a thousand well-paid ancillary service people, really set the city’s brittle tone— catering to a wide American public whose num bers m ust be respected but whose tastes do not have to shared. The condescending view from the fiftieth floor of the city’s crowds below cuts these people off from humanity. So does an attitude which sees the public only in terms of large, malleable numbers— as impersonally as does the clattering subway turnstile beneath the office towers.surprised by the lack of cynicism, particularly am ong the younger ones, of those who work in such fields. The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype, delights in much of it, and has no scruples about practicing it. Men and wom an do their jobs professionally, and, like the pilots who from great heights bom bed Hanoi, seem unmarked by it. They lead their real lives elsewhere, in the Village bars they are indistinguishable in dress or behavior from would-be artists, actors, and writers. The boundaries of “art for art’s sake” aren’t so rigid anym ore; art itself is less sharply defined, and those whose paintings don’t sell do illustrations; those who can’ get acting jobs do comm ercials; those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves on the m agazines. Besides, serious art often feeds in the popular these days, changing it with fond irony.e the newcom ers find or from their won worlds; Manhatten is m any such words, huddled together but rarely interaction. I think this is what gives the city itssense of freedom. There are enough like you, whatever you are. And it isn’t asnecessary to know anything about an apartm ent neighbor- or to worry about his judgm ent of you- as it is about som eone with an adjoining yard. In New York, like seeks like, and by econom y of effort excludes the rest as stranger. This distancing, this uncaring in ordinary encounters, has another side: in no other Am erican city can the lonely be as lonely.uch m ore needs to be said. New Your is a wounded city, declining in its am enities . Overloaded by its tax burdens. But it is not dying city; the streets are safer than they were five years age; Broadway, which seem ed to be succumbing to the tawdriness of its environm ent, is astir again.enace, the noise, the brusqueness- all confirm outsiders in their conviction that they wouldn’t live here if you gave them the place. Yet show a New Yorker a splendid hom e in Dallas, or a swimming pool and cabana in Beverly Hills, and he will be admiring but not envious. So m uch of well-to-do America now lives antiseptically in enclaves, tranquil and luxurious, that shut out the world. Too static, the New Yorker would say. Tell him about the vigor of your outdoor pleasures; he prefers the unhealthy hassle andthe vitality of urban life. He is hopelessly provincial. To him New York- despite its faults,which her will impat iently concede (“so what else is new?”) — is the spoiler of all other American cities.erican cities to visit first-rate art m useum s, to hear good m usic and see lively experim ental theater, to m eet intelligent and sophisticated people who know how to live, dine, and talk well; and to enjoy all this in congenial and spacious surroundings. The New Yorkers still wouldn’t want to live there.issing is what m any outsiders find oppressive and distasteful about New York –its rawness, tension, urgency; its bracingcom petitiveness; the rigor of its judgm ents; and the congested, dem ocratic presence of so m any other New Yorkers, encased in their own worlds, the defeated are not hidden away som ewhere else on the wrong side of town. In the subways, in the buses, in the streets, it is impossible to avoid people whose lives are harder than yours. With the desperate, the ill, the fatigued, the overwhelm ed, one learns not to strike upcon versation (which isn’t wanted ) but to m ake brief, sy m pathetic eye contact, to include them in the hum an race. It isn’t m uch, but it is the fleeting hospitality of New Yorkers, each jealous of his privacy in the crowd. Ever helpfulness is often delivered as a taunt: a m an, rushing the traffic light, shouts the m an behind him. “ You want to be wearing a Buick with Jersey plates?” — great scorn in the word Jersey, hom e of drivers who don’t belong here.’s definition, New York is m ongrel city. It is in fact the first truly international m etropolis. No other great city- not London, Paris, Rom e or Tokyo- plays host (or hostage) to so m any nationalities. The m ix is m uch wider- Asians, Africans, Latins - that when that tumultuous variety of European crowded ashore at Ellis Island.The newcom ers are never fully absorbed, but are added precariously to the undigested many.20 New York is too big to be dom inated by any group, by Wasps or Jews or blacks, or by Catholics of m any origins —Irish, Italian, Hispanic. All have their little sovereignties, all are sizable enough to be reckoned with and tough in asserting their claim s, but none is powerful enough to subdue the others. Characteristically, the city swallows up the United Nations and refuses to take it seriously, regarding it as an unworkable m ixture of the idealistic, the impractical, and the hypocritical. But New Yorkers them selves are in training in how to live together in a diversity of races- the necessary initiation into the future.education in sights and sm ells. There is wonderful variety of places to eat or shop, and though the m ost successful of such places are likely to touristy hybridcom prom ises, they too have genuine roots. Other Am erican cities have ethnic turfs jealously defended, but not, I think, such an adm ixture of groups, thrown together in such jarring juxtapositions . In the sam e way, avenues of high-rise luxury in New York are never far from poverty and m ean streets. The sadness and fortitude of New York must be celebrated, along with its treasures of art and m usic. The com bination is unstable; it produces friction, or an uneasy forbearance that som etimes becom es a real toleration.es a m atter of alternating m oods, often inthe sam e day.

我最喜欢的卡通片美猴王英语作文初一
我最喜欢的卡通片美猴王英语作文初一全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Cartoon: The Monkey KingOne of my all-time favorite cartoons is the classic Chinese tale "The Monkey King." It's an animated series that brings to life the famous 16th century novel "Journey to the West" by Wu Cheng'en. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been completely captivated by the adventures of the mischievous monkey protagonist, Sun Wukong, and his brave companions.For those who haven't seen it, the story follows the Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his three supernatural protectors as they travel from China to India on an epic pilgrimage to obtain sacred scriptures. Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is tasked with guarding Xuanzang against the many perils they face along the road.What I love most about the Monkey King is his funny, rebellious personality. He's constantly cracking jokes, playing tricks, and getting into trouble. But he's also incredibly powerful, smart, and brave when he needs to be. With his magical staff thatcan change size, cloud-riding somersaults, and mastery of the 72 transformations, he's pretty much invincible!One of my favorite episodes is when the Monkey King single-handedly takes on the entire heavenly army after being framed by some jealous gods. The battle scenes are so intense and action-packed, with the Monkey King leaping through the air, deflecting arrows, and taking down countless soldiers. Even after being captured and imprisoned under a mountain for 500 years, he never gives up. That's the kind of perseverance and tenacity that I really admire.Another thing I love is the heartwarming bond between the four pilgrims. Despite their frequent bickering and insults (especially between Monkey King and Pig Monster), it's clear they deeply care for each other. They lean on one another through every challenge, both physical and emotional. It's a powerful reminder of the strength of friendship and loyalty.The show also has breathtaking animation that brings ancient China to vivid life. From the lush, misty landscapes to the grandiose celestial realms, every backdrop is a work of art. The character designs are so unique and full of personality too. Monkey King's cheeky grin, Piggy's pudgy face, Sandy's fierce glare - they're all incredibly expressive and memorable.But beyond the non-stop action and humor, what resonates with me the most are the deeper themes woven throughout the story. There are lessons about having courage in the face of adversity, being humble despite great power, and persevering no matter how daunting the obstacles. The Monkey King's spiritual journey of casting off his arrogance and ego is incredibly poignant.I've watched the whole series at least ten times over, and I never get tired of it. Every time I see the opening theme with Monkey King wielding his mighty staff, I get totally psyched! This show has been a constant in my life from childhood until now. Anytime I'm feeling down, I'll throw on a few episodes for an instant boost of laughter and inspiration.Part of what makes the Monkey King so special is itscross-generational appeal. My parents and grandparents loved watching it when they were young, and now I'm sharing that same experience decades later. It's a quintessential work of Chinese culture and mythology that sparks the imagination of children and adults alike. I truly believe the core messages and sense of adventure will still resonate with kids for generations to come.When I think about the future, there's no doubt in my mind that decades from now I'll still have an unbreakable nostalgic attachment to this amazing show. Maybe I'll even share it with my own kids someday! No matter how old I get, the Monkey King will forever hold a special place in my heart as an endless source of courage, laughter, and the overwhelming power of perseverance against all odds. Isn't that what made him such a legendary hero in the first place?篇2My Favorite Cartoon: The Monkey KingHave you ever watched a cartoon that made you laugh until your stomach hurt? A show that was so hilarious and entertaining that you couldn't wait for the next episode? Well, for me, that show is the Monkey King, and let me tell you, it's simply the best!The Monkey King, also known as Journey to the West, is a classic Chinese tale that has been adapted into numerous movies, TV series, and cartoons over the years. But in my opinion, the cartoon version is the most captivating and enjoyable of them all. It's a story filled with adventure, humor, and valuable life lessons, making it the perfect show for kids and adults alike.The main character, Sun Wukong, or the Monkey King, is a mischievous and rebellious monkey who possesses incredible strength and magical powers. He's the epitome of a troublemaker, always getting himself into sticky situations with his mischievous antics. But that's what makes him so lovable and entertaining to watch!One of the things I love most about the Monkey King is the way it blends humor and action seamlessly. One minute, you'll be rolling on the floor laughing at Sun Wukong's clever pranks and witty one-liners, and the next, you'll be on the edge of your seat as he battles fierce demons and monsters with his incredible martial arts skills.The supporting characters in the show are just as entertaining as Sun Wukong himself. There's the wise and patient monk, Xuanzang, who serves as Sun Wukong's master and mentor. Despite Sun Wukong's constant misbehavior, Xuanzang never gives up on him, teaching him valuable lessons about discipline, respect, and the importance of teamwork.Then there are Sun Wukong's fellow disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, who provide plenty of comedic relief with their own unique personalities and quirks. Zhu Bajie is the gluttonous and greedy pig demon, while Sha Wujing is the stoic and loyal rivermonster. Together, they form an unlikely but hilarious trio that never fails to entertain.But it's not just the characters and humor that make the Monkey King so special; it's also the stunning animation and vibrant world it creates. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful, with lush forests, towering mountains, and mystical realms that transport you to a world of fantasy and adventure. The action sequences are equally impressive, with spectacular fight scenes that showcase Sun Wukong's incredible martial arts skills and magical powers.Beyond the entertainment value, the Monkey King also teaches valuable life lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the importance of staying true to oneself. Sun Wukong's journey is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, but through it all, he never loses his determination or his sense of who he is.One of my favorite episodes is when Sun Wukong and his companions encounter a treacherous river of flowing sand. Despite their best efforts, they cannot cross the river, and it seems all hope is lost. But Sun Wukong refuses to give up, and through sheer determination and ingenuity, he finds a way to overcome the obstacle, inspiring his companions and reminding us all of the power of perseverance.Another memorable episode involves Sun Wukong's struggle with his own ego and pride. He becomes so arrogant and boastful that he loses sight of what's truly important, causing a rift between him and his companions. It's a powerful lesson about the dangers of letting one's ego get out of control and the importance of humility and teamwork.Overall, the Monkey King is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences worldwide. It's a show that perfectly balances humor, action, and valuable life lessons, making it a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh and a thrilling adventure.Whether you're a kid or an adult, the Monkey King is sure to entertain and inspire you with its colorful characters, stunning visuals, and heartwarming messages. So, what are you waiting for? Join Sun Wukong and his companions on their incredible journey and discover why this cartoon is truly a masterpiece!篇3My Favorite Cartoon: The Monkey KingI absolutely love the cartoon "The Monkey King"! It's an awesome Chinese animated series that I've been watching since I was a little kid. Based on the classic 16th century novel "Journeyto the West", it tells the entertaining and action-packed story of the powerful monkey king Sun Wukong and his adventures accompanying the Buddhist monk Xuanzang on a dangerous pilgrimage from China to India to obtain sacred scriptures.What really makes The Monkey King so great is the main character Sun Wukong himself. He's just the coolest monkey ever! Born from a magical talking rock, Sun Wukong is incredibly strong, can fly using his magic cloud, and has mastered all sorts of awesome abilities like transforming into different animals and cloning himself. But what I love most about him is his funny, rebellious personality. He's constantly getting into trouble by playing tricks, causing chaos, and picking fights. Yet at the same time, he's brave, loyal, and ultimately wants to do the right thing.My favorite episodes are the ones where Sun Wukong uses his trickster ways and martial arts skills to outwit and battle the various evil monster, demon, and supernatural forces trying to stop Xuanzang's journey. Like when he defeats the Princes Virgin by trapping her in a cosmic ring. Or when he bravely fights the terrifying Ox-Demon King to rescue Xuanzang. The fight scenes are always so epic, with Sun Wukong unleashing his powerful magic staff and 'cloning' powers while making funny jokes. He's such a cheeky prankster but also a total badass!Another reason I love The Monkey King is the visuals and animation quality. Even though it's an older cartoon from the late 80s, the backgrounds are so bright, colorful and detailed. All the characters have really cool and unique designs too. Sun Wukong looks so awesome with his yellow fur, red robe, and magical staff. And the action sequences are really dynamic and fluidly animated, especially for the time. The demon monsters are also super freaky and creative looking!While the adventures and fighting never get old, my favorite part of the show is the heartwarming lessons Sun Wukong learns about overcoming his arrogance, ego, and childish misbehavior. Like when the Buddha has to discipline him by trapping him under a mountain for 500 years after he runs amok in Heaven. Or when he finally learns the importance of patience and humility from his teachers Xuanzang and the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Beneath all the comedy and martial arts mayhem, the show has a cool spiritual wisdom celebrating Buddhist values like perseverance, mercy and self-improvement.The Monkey King makes me laugh, gets my heart racing with excitement, but also makes me think. I'll never get tired ofre-watching Sun Wukong's hilarious antics, dazzling magic powers, and his journey of personal growth. The cartoon truly isa fun and meaningful adventure for all ages! I really hope they make more episodes or even live-action movies someday continuing the Monkey King's epic saga. For now, I'll keep enjoying this awesome piece of Chinese animation and literary history.篇4My Favorite Cartoon: The Monkey KingWhen I was a little kid, my parents used to put on this cartoon for me all the time called "The Monkey King." At first, I didn't really get what was going on, but as I grew older, I became totally obsessed with this show! It's based on this classic Chinese novel called "Journey to the West," which was written like a bajillion years ago. But the cartoon version is just the coolest thing ever!The main character is this super powerful monkey named Sun Wukong, but everyone just calls him the Monkey King. He's got these crazy abilities where he can fly, do magic, and even transform into different animals and objects. The best part is that he's totally full of himself and doesn't really listen to anyone. He's always cracking jokes and causing trouble, which makes him hilarious!In the beginning of the story, the Monkey King causes all kinds of chaos in Heaven by stealing magical items and beating up gods and immortals. He's just too powerful for his own good. Eventually, the gods get fed up with his nonsense and trap him under this huge mountain of rocks for 500 years as punishment. Can you imagine being stuck under a pile of rocks for 500 years? I'd go completely bonkers!After 500 years, a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang comes along on a journey to obtain sacred scriptures from India. The gods tell Xuanzang that if he frees the Monkey King from under the rocks, the monkey will have to join him on his journey and protect him. So Xuanzang lets the Monkey King out, and from there, their crazy adventure begins!Along the way, they meet up with two other weird creatures who become part of their squad - a pig monster named Zhu Bajie and a river monster named Sha Wujing. Together, the four of them travel through all sorts of dangers, fighting evil spirits, dealing with tricksters, and even taking on the Queen of the Lions. The Monkey King is always the one who has to bail them out with his awesome fighting skills and quick thinking.My favorite episodes are definitely the ones where the Monkey King goes a little too far with his pranks and ends upgetting himself in deep trouble. There's this one part where he messes with the Planetary River by stirring it up and causing a drought. The River God gets super mad and tries to drown him! The Monkey King has to use all his powers to escape, and it's just one crazy, action-packed scene after another.Another hilarious moment is when the squad ends up in the Kingdom of Women, where all the men have been kicked out. The Monkey King can't help but cause a ruckus and makes all the women fall in love with him. It's so funny watching him try to handle all these lovesick ladies while also keeping his buddies out of harm's way.I also love the fight scenes in this show - they're justmind-blowingly awesome! The Monkey King whips out his magical staff that can grow massive in size and smashes everything in sight. He's a total badass when he's in battle mode. And the way he can summon clouds to fly around on is the coolest thing ever. I used to run around the house pretending I could ride on clouds just like him.Despite all his powers and cockiness, the Monkey King still has a good heart deep down. He truly cares about protecting his master Xuanzang and making sure their mission is a success, even if he doesn't always show it. Their relationship is like aclassic odd couple - the wise, calm monk and the unruly, rebellious monkey. They bicker and butt heads all the time, but you know they've got each other's backs when it counts.Overall, I just love how creative and imaginative this whole story is. It's got action, humor, life lessons, and characters you can't help but adore (even if they're completely bonkers). Whenever I'm feeling down, I'll throw on a couple episodes of The Monkey King, and it never fails to cheer me up and take me on a magical adventure. This show will always have a special place in my heart!篇5My Favorite Cartoon: The Monkey KingHave you ever heard of the legendary Monkey King? If not, you're missing out on one of the most thrilling and entertaining cartoon series ever! The Monkey King, also known as Xi You Ji (西游记) or Journey to the West, is a classic Chinese tale that has been adapted into various forms of media, including cartoons, movies, and TV shows. As a middle school student, I have to admit that this particular cartoon series is my all-time favorite, and I'll tell you why.First and foremost, the storyline is simply captivating. It follows the adventures of the mischievous and powerful Monkey King, also known as Sun Wukong (孙悟空), as he accompanies the Buddhist monk Xuanzang (玄奘) on a perilous journey to India to obtain sacred scriptures. Along the way, they encounter all sorts of mythical creatures, demons, and obstacles that they must overcome with their unique abilities and teamwork.What I love most about the story is the way it blends elements of Chinese mythology, folklore, and Buddhist teachings seamlessly. The characters are not only entertaining but also represent different virtues and flaws that we can relate to. Sun Wukong, for instance, is a symbol of rebellion and individual freedom, but he also learns valuable lessons about humility and discipline throughout his journey.The animation itself is a true work of art. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and fluid movements bring the characters and their world to life in a way that captivates the viewer's imagination. Every episode is a visual feast, with breathtaking landscapes, epic battles, and stunning special effects that keep you glued to the screen.But what really sets The Monkey King apart is the depth of its characters. Each one has a distinct personality and backstorythat adds layers of complexity to the overall narrative. From the wise and patient Xuanzang to the fierce and loyal Pigsy (猪八戒) and the gentle and kind Sandy (沙和尚), every character plays a crucial role in shaping the journey and imparting valuable life lessons.One of the most memorable characters, in my opinion, is the villainous White Bone Demon (白骨精). Her cunning and manipulative nature serves as a constant source of conflict and challenges for our heroes, but her character arc also highlights the importance of redemption and forgiveness.Another aspect that I deeply appreciate is the humor woven throughout the series. Despite the epic scale of the journey and the serious themes it explores, there are countless moments of comedic relief that keep the mood light and entertaining. Whether it's Sun Wukong's witty one-liners or the slapstick antics of the trio, the humor adds a delightful touch that appeals to viewers of all ages.Beyond the entertainment value, The Monkey King also teaches valuable lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the importance of spiritual growth. The characters' struggles and triumphs serve as inspiring reminders that even in the face ofadversity, we can overcome obstacles by staying true to our values and relying on the support of those around us.In conclusion, The Monkey King is not just a cartoon; it's a cultural treasure that has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless viewers across generations. Its rich storytelling, captivating animation, and endearing characters make it a timeless classic that I will cherish for years to come. If you haven't already, I highly recommend immersing yourself in this epic journey and experiencing the magic of the Monkey King for yourself.篇6My Favorite Cartoon: Monkey KingWhenever someone asks me about my favorite cartoon, I don't even have to think twice – it's Monkey King, hands down! This awesome show has been my absolute favorite since I was a little kid. I still remember the first time I saw it, and how amazed I was by the incredible adventures and the cool characters.Monkey King is based on a classic Chinese novel called "Journey to the West," but the cartoon version is so much more exciting and fun. It tells the story of a mischievous monkey named Sun Wukong, who was born from a magic rock andpossesses incredible powers. He's super strong, can fly, and has a magical staff that can grow as big as he wants it to!At the start of the show, Monkey King gets into all sorts of trouble because he's too cocky and doesn't listen to anyone. He even causes chaos in Heaven and gets into a big fight with the Jade Emperor and his army of celestial soldiers. But eventually, he meets a kind-hearted monk named Xuanzang, who is on a journey to India to bring sacred Buddhist scriptures back to China.Monkey King decides to join Xuanzang on his quest, along with two other funny companions – Pigsy, a pig monster who loves to eat, and Sandy, a river monster with a hot temper. Together, they form the most awesome group of friends ever, and their journey is filled with all kinds of crazy adventures and dangerous situations.One of the things I love most about Monkey King is how hilarious and entertaining the characters are. Monkey King himself is always cracking jokes and playing tricks on everyone, but he's also incredibly brave and loyal to his friends. Pigsy is the comic relief, always making me laugh with his silly antics and his obsession with food. And Sandy is the tough guy of the group, but deep down, he's got a heart of gold.The show is also packed with amazing action sequences and fight scenes. Whenever the gang runs into trouble, which is pretty much all the time, Monkey King jumps into action with his magical staff, unleashing incredible martial arts moves and using his powers to defeat all kinds of monsters and demons. The animation is so cool and dynamic, with all sorts of special effects and mind-blowing stunts.But what really makes Monkey King so special is the way it teaches valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and perseverance. Despite all the obstacles and challenges they face, the gang never gives up and always sticks together. They learn to appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they grow closer as friends with every adventure.I also love how the show celebrates Chinese culture and mythology. There are all sorts of references to ancient Chinese folklore and legends, and the characters often quote famous proverbs and wisdom from Confucius and other great thinkers. It's a fun way to learn about the rich history and traditions of China while enjoying an awesome cartoon.Overall, Monkey King is simply the best cartoon ever, in my opinion. It has everything a kid could want – action, comedy, cool characters, and valuable life lessons, all wrapped up in a fantasticadventure story. Whenever I watch it, I feel like I'm right there with Monkey King and his friends, embarking on an epic journey and facing whatever challenges come our way with courage and determination.If you haven't seen Monkey King yet, you're seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor and check it out – I guarantee you'll be hooked from the very first episode!。

语篇精讲： The Pleasure of Learning 学习的乐趣As more schools are set up today, learning is compulsory. It is an Ought, even worse, a Must, enforcedby regular hours andrigiddiscipline. Andthe youngsneerat the Oughts and resist the Musts withall their energy. The feelingoften lasts through a lifetime. For too many of us, learning appears to be a surrender of our own will to external direction, a sort of enslavement.This is a mistake. Learning is a natural pleasure, inborn and instinctive, one of theessential pleasures of thehumanrace. Watcha small child, atanagetooyoungto have had any mental habits implanted by training. Some delightful films madetalk investigatingproblems withall the zeal and excitement of explorers, makingdiscoveries with the passion and absorption of dedicated scientists. At the end of each successful investigation,there comes over each tiny face an expression of pure heartfelt pleasure. ...But if the pleasure of learning is universal, why are there so many dull, incurious people in the world? It is because they were made dull, by bad teaching, by isolation, by surrender toroutine, sometimes, too, by the pressure of hardworkand poverty, or by the toxin of riches, with all their ephemeral and trivial delights.Withluck, resolutionandguidance, however, the humanmindcansurvive notonly poverty but even wealth.This pleasure is not confined to learning from textbooks,which are too often tedious. But it does include learning from books. Sometimes when I stand in a big library like the library of Congress, or Butler Library at Columbia, and gaze around me at the millions of books, I feel a sober, earnest delight hard to convey except a metaphor. These are not lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive onthe shelves. Fromeachof themgoes out its ownvoice, as inaudible as the streams of sound conveyedby electric waves beyondtherangeof hearing, andjustas thetouchof abutton on our stereo will fill the room with music,so by opening one of these volumes, one can call into range a voice far distant in time and space, and hear it speaking, mind to mind, heart to heart.But, far beyond books, learningmeans keepingthe mind openand active toreceive all kinds of experience. One of the best-informed menI ever knew was acowboy whorarely reada newspaper andnever a book, but whohadriddenmanythousands of miles through one of the western states. He knew his state as thoroughly as a surgeon knows the human body. He loved it. Not a mountain, not a canyon which had not much to tell him, not a change in the weather that he could not interpret. Andso, amongthe pleasures of learning, we should includetravel,travel with an open mind,an alert eye and a visit to understand other peoples, other places, rather thanlookinginthemfor a mirror imageof oneself. If Iwere a young man today, I should resolve to see ?nbsp;no, to learn ?nbsp; all the 50 states before I was 35.Learningalsomeans learningtopractice, or atleasttoappreciate, anart. Everynew art you learn appears like a new window on the universe; it is like acquiring anew sense. Because I was bornand brought up inGlasgow, Scotland, a hideous19th-century industrial city, I did not understand the slightest thing about architecture until I was in my 20s. Since then, I have learned a little about the art, and it has been a constant delight. ... As for reading books, this contains two different delights. One is the pleasure of apprehendingthe unexpected, suchaswhen one meets a new author who has a new vision of the world. The other pleasure is of deepeningone's knowledge of a special field. ... Learningextendsour lives (as Ptolemy said) into new dimensions. It is cumulative. Instead of diminishing in time, like health and strength, its returns go on increasing, provided ...Provided that you aim, throughout your life, as you continue learning, to integrate your thought, to make it harmonious. If youhappento be anengineerand also enjoy singingina glee club, connect these two activities. They unite inyou; they are not in conflict. Both choral singing and engineering are examples of thearchitectonic ability of man: of his power tomake a large planandtoconvey itclearly to others. Both are aesthetic and depend much on symmetry. Think about them not as though they were dissociated, but as though each were one aspect ofMuch unhappiness has been suffered by those people who have never recognized that it is as necessary to make themselves into whole and harmonious personalities as to keep themselves clean, healthy and financially solvent.Wholeness of the mindandspirit is not a quality conferredby nature, or by God. Itis like health, virtue and knowledge. Man has the capacity to attain it; but to achieveitdepends onhis ownefforts. Itneeds a long, deliberateeffortof themindand the emotions, and even the body.Duringour earthly life, the body gradually dies; eventhe emotions becomeduller.

英语作文我的第一次烹饪经验初中
英语作文我的第一次烹饪经验初中全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My First Cooking ExperienceThey say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and after my first real cooking experience, I understand why. It was an ordinary Saturday morning when my mom announced that she was going to teach me how to make one of our family's favorite dishes – spaghetti and meatballs. At first, I was pretty skeptical. Cooking always seemed so complicated with precise measurements, a million steps, and the risk of burning everything. But my mom insisted it would be fun and that every teenager should learn some basic cooking skills. Little did I know, this simple culinary lesson would turn into one of my most memorable experiences.We started by gathering all the ingredients – ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic, tomato sauce, and of course, a box of spaghetti noodles. Just looking at everything made me feel overwhelmed. How were we supposed to turn this mishmash of items into an actual meal? My mom could sense myapprehension and gave me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we'll take it step-by-step. Cooking is as much an art as it is a science."The first step was to make the meatballs. We combined the beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, parmesan, and seasonings in a large bowl. I've never been a huge fan of getting my hands dirty, but my mom insisted I dive right in and start mixing and shaping the mixture into balls. It was actually pretty satisfying to squish the ingredients together and form the little rounds. Who knew cooking could be kind of therapeutic?Once the meatballs were rolled, it was time to start browning them. My mom let me carefully drop them into the hot oil, showing me how to avoid spitting grease. The sizzling sound and the aroma of cooking meat filled the kitchen. I couldn't believe that was coming from something I had helped prepare!While the meatballs were browning, we turned our attention to the sauce. My mom taught me the importance of sautéing the garlic first to release the flavors. Then we added the canned tomato sauce and various herbs and seasonings. I helped stir the bubbling sauce, watching it turn a rich, thick red color. Who knew cooking from a can could smell so fresh and appetizing?Finally, it was time to boil the spaghetti noodles. This part always seemed to stump me when I tried making microwavablepasta cups in the past. My mom showed me how to tell when the noodles were perfectly al dente by tossing one against the wall to see if it stuck (I thought she was joking at first!). Once drained, we combined the spaghetti with the sauce and beautifully browned meatballs.The finishing touch was grating some fresh parmesan over the top and garnishing with parsley. I couldn't believe my eyes –it actually looked like something you'd get in a restaurant! And of course, the real test was in the tasting.As I twirled some noodles onto my fork and took that first bite, a huge smile spread across my face. It was honestly one of the most delicious things I had ever tasted. And the best part? I had helped make it myself from scratch! Well, maybe not totally from scratch since we used canned sauce. But it was still about a million times better than anything from a box or a bag.My mom beamed with pride as she watched me happily devour my plate. Seeing her face filled with joy made the whole experience even more rewarding. In that moment, I realized cooking wasn't just about following recipes and measurements. It was about creating something nourishing while making memories. I felt a sense of accomplishment I'd never felt from just heating up a frozen meal.From start to finish, the whole process took a couple of hours. But it was two hours of laughter, learning, and quality bonding time with my mom. She taught me skills and kitchen hacks I'll never forget. She showed me that cooking doesn't have to be intimidating if you go step-by-step. Most importantly, she helped me understand the pride and satisfaction that comes from taking simple ingredients and crafting something delicious with your own hands.That seemingly mundane Saturday was actually one of the most meaningful days I've had in a long time. Yeah, I got to eat a fantastic, home-cooked meal. But more than that, I gained a newfound appreciation for the art of cooking and its power to bring people together. I made a memory with my mom that I'll cherish forever. And who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to recreate that dish and pass on my own kitchen wisdom.So while my first true culinary experience may have started as a casual weekend activity, it ended up meaning so much more. It was my first step into the warm, flavor-filled world of home cooking. A world that, thanks to my mom's guidance, no longer feels so daunting and complicated. Rather, it feels like home.篇2My First Cooking ExperienceI have to admit, I was a bit nervous the first time I tried cooking a full meal all by myself. Up until then, the most I had done in the kitchen was make a sandwich or microwave a frozen dinner. But when my parents went out of town for a long weekend and left me home alone to fend for myself, I knew I would have to step up my game if I wanted to eat anything more substantial than cereal for three days straight.The first evening after they left, I did indeed opt for the easy bowl of cereal. But the next morning as I poured myself another bowl of my fourth consecutive cereal-based meal, I felt a strange determined feeling wash over me. I was 13 years old, practically a grown adult in my own mind. Surely I was capable of cooking something more inspired than this? I decided then and there that I would attempt my first ever home cooked dinner that night.After school, I rummaged through the kitchen cabinets and fridge to take stock of my ingredient options. We had lots of basic pantry staples like rice, pasta, canned beans and vegetables. In the fridge there were some chicken breasts, eggs, cheese, and various condiments. Nothing too fancy, but enough to work with for a simple home-cooked meal.I settled on attempting a classic chicken stir fry with rice. It seemed simple enough - just cook some rice, chop up some chicken and veggies, and fry them together in a pan. How hard could it be? Little did I know at the time just how many pitfalls and challenges awaited me.My first major blunder was a lack of preparation. I didn't bother to take out all the ingredients and equipment before starting. So halfway through the process of cooking the rice, I realized I needed a pan for the stir fry but had no idea where we kept the pans. I had to abandon the rice cooking for a few minutes to rummage through cabinets, finally locating a pan but also getting distracted and watching some YouTube videos on my phone when I should have been focused on the task at hand.By the time I remembered about the rice, the instructions to let it simmer had become letting it burn into a crunchy charred mess at the bottom of the pot. So much for the rice portion of chicken and rice. I dumped out the inedible burnt rice disaster and started over with a fresh pot, keeping a much closer eye on it this time around.Next up, I began chopping the chicken breasts intobite-sized pieces. Having very little experience with kitchen knives or cutting boards, I quickly realized chopping bonelessskinless chicken is much trickier than it seems. I slipped up numerous times, simultaneously overcrowding the cutting board, letting the chicken slip all over the place, and somehow getting just about every surface of the kitchen covered in chicken juice splatters. It looked like a tornado had ravaged the room by the time I finished chopping just two chicken breasts into messy, irregular chunks.Attempting to clean up the chaos a bit, I splashed some water around the counters and floors to loosen the chicken splatters. This turned out to be a big mistake, as I just ended up spreading the watery chicken juice all over the place even further. My parents would not be pleased with the condition of their freshly mopped floors if they could see them now.At this point, I probably should have just ordered a pizza or made myself a sandwich and thrown in the towel on this stir fry debacle. But I was feeling determined and stubbornly pressed on.When it came time to actually do the stir fry portion, I made the brilliant decision to crank the burner up as high as it could go from the very start before adding any oil or ingredients to the pan. By the time I went to pour in the oil, the hot pan instantly turned it into a splashing geyser of scalding hot grease goingeverywhere. I shrieked and jerked my hand back, doing my best to shield my face and body from the oil spray with the lovely floral-printed over mitt my grandma insists on gifting us every Christmas. That over mitt ended up taking the brunt of the hot oil assault for me.If I had any hopes of still being able to actually eat the incomplete chicken stir fry I was attempting to cook, those dreams were dashed as bits of singed over mitt fuzz started flaking off into the pan.At this point I finally had to face facts - I was in over my head. The kitchen was a grease-splattered mess, the charred remains of the first pot of rice were permanently adhered to the bottom of the pot, the counters were still coated in chicken splatter water, and now I had ruined a perfectly good over mitt and contaminated the stir fry ingredients as well. This was a beginner cook's nightmare.I dumped the whole stir fry pan into the trash and vowed to just order a pizza for dinner. Hopefully my parents wouldn't be too upset when they returned home from their trip to find the kitchen looking like a tornado had violently ripped through it.Despite my overwhelming failure on that first attempt, I can't say I regret giving it a shot. Sure, the aftermath was a giganticmess and I did end up having to order food instead. But I learned a very valuable lesson through that hands-on experience: Cooking is hard! It takes a lot of practice, preparation, patience and skill to properly execute something like a chicken stir fry. Things that seem simple when you read them in a recipe actually involve quite a bit of technique.I emerged from that first cooking experience with a newfound respect and appreciation for good chefs and home cooks. Preparing meals from scratch is no easy feat! I also walked away feeling more determined than ever to keep practicing and perfecting my cooking abilities. My interest was piqued, and I couldn't wait to try again.Over the years since that disaster, I've worked hard to slowly build up my skills and techniques in the kitchen. I closely studied recipes, learned about things like food safety, knife handling, ingredient prep, and temperature control on the stove. Stir frys did eventually become one of my go-to easy meals that I can whip up without a hitch these days - as long as I follow all the steps in order and keep things clean as I go.My parents no longer have to fear the prospect of me attempting to cook for myself when they go out of town. In fact, I've become quite a skilled and capable home chef over time.While I'll never forget the grease fire and charred rice of my first attempt, these days I look back and laugh at my former kitchen klutz self. Thankfully I've come a very long way since those disastrous early culinary days! Cooking has become one of my favorite hobbies and life skills now. It just took some time, a lot of practice, and perseverance to get over that extremely steep beginner's learning curve.篇3My First Cooking ExperienceI still vividly remember my first attempt at cooking. It was a sunny Saturday morning during spring break of my 7th grade year. I had woken up feeling hungry as usual, but both of my parents were still asleep after staying up late the night before. Normally my mom would have breakfast ready for me, but on this day I was on my own.As I wandered into the kitchen, I realized I had two choices - I could wait hungrily for my parents to wake up, or I could take matters into my own hands and make myself something to eat. The thought of cooking seemed daunting at first. In my 13 years, I had never really helped out in the kitchen beyond maybe stirring a bowl of ingredients or setting the table. Cooking feltlike such an adult responsibility that I had never been allowed to fully take on myself.But as my stomach rumbled, I felt a surge of determination. How hard could cooking really be? My mom made it look so easy.I decided I would try making something simple - scrambled eggs and toast. Every time my parents made breakfast, those were two staple items, so I felt okay about attempting them on my own. With newfound confidence, I got to work.First up were the eggs. I found a bowl and carefully cracked a few eggs into it, using the skills I had picked up from watching my mom over the years. So far, so good! I grabbed a fork and started scrambling away, mimicking the whisking motion I had seen countless times. The eggs seemed to be holding together nicely in a yellow goopy mixture.Next, I needed to find a pan to cook them in. I knew my parents kept lots of pots and pans in the cupboard next to the stove, so I opened it up and started rummaging around. There were so many to choose from in different shapes, sizes, and materials. I settled on a medium-sized non-stick pan since that's what seemed to be used most often for eggs.Now came the hard part - actually cooking the eggs. I turned one of the burners on the stove to what I hoped was anappropriate temperature, having no concept of how hot "medium" heat really was. I gave the pan a quick spray of oil and then, holding my breath, poured in the eggs. Almost instantly, I started to panic as they began to sizzle and pop unpredictably. What if I had the heat too high? What if I was doing everything completely wrong?I gingerly grabbed the plastic spatula from the utensil holder, remembering that was the tool mom used to continuously stir and fold the eggs. As I did my best to imitate her motions, the eggs slowly started taking on a scrambled form, no longer just a liquid. Relief washed over me as I realized I might actually pull this off.With the eggs close to being done, I turned my attention to the toast. I knew we had a toaster, but it seemed too complicated for my first attempt at cooking. Instead, I found a loaf of bread and popped two slices into the toaster oven to crisp up using the "toast" setting. So far, so good!The eggs finished first, and I scooped them out onto a plate, surprised at how edible they actually looked. A minute later, the toast popped out, perfectly golden brown on both sides. I used a pot holder to transfer the hot pieces onto my plate as well. Formy first real meal I had cooked myself from start to finish, it seemed pretty successful!As I took my first few bites, a huge smile spread across my face. The eggs were a tiny bit overcooked and the toast was a little dry, but those small imperfections didn't bother me at all. I had done it - I had made my own breakfast without any help! From cracking the eggs to cooking them properly to making the toast, I felt such a sense of pride and accomplishment.In the grand scheme of things, scrambled eggs and toast may not seem like a major culinary feat. But for a 13-year-old kid who had never really cooked before, it was a rite of passage. It gave me a confidence in the kitchen that I never had before. If I could successfully make a simple breakfast dish through watching and mimicking, what else could I cook just by applying myself? Suddenly, a whole world of recipes and cooking possibilities opened up before me.My first cooking experience was a small step, but it sparked my interest in an incredibly valuable life skill. From that day on, I made an effort to spend more time in the kitchen watching my parents as they prepared meals. I asked questions about techniques and ingredients so that I could learn. Soon, I was helping out with easy tasks like boiling pasta or tossing a salad.As I got older and more confident, I started branching out by following recipes for basic dishes like quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, and simple stir fries. Each time I stepped into the kitchen, my skills improved. Cooking went from being an intimidating mystery to one of my favorite hobbies that brought me joy and satisfaction.I'm incredibly grateful that my first attempt at cooking all those years ago was a positive experience that encouraged me to keep going. It showed me that even beginners can be successful in the kitchen with the right instructions, tools, and mindset. Cooking is a lifelong journey of learning and developing a useful skill set.These days, my cooking skills are much more advanced than being able to make just scrambled eggs and toast. But I'll always look back fondly on that first dish I made on my own as the starting point for my passion in the kitchen. From those humble beginnings of a simple breakfast, I've discovered a love for the art of cooking that will stick with me forever.。
英语专业 综合英语第六册 课后问题
Lesson One How to Get the Poor off Our Conscience1.What are the five historical solutions?(1)The first solution proposed in the Bible (圣经): the poor suffer in this world butare wonderfully rewarded in the next. Their poverty is a temporary misfortune. If they are poor and also meek（逆来顺受）, they eventually will inherit the earth.(2)The second solution is utilitarianism (功利主义) . (Utilitarianism is the idea thatthe morally correct course of action is the one that produces benefit for the greatest number of people.)(3)Next is Malthusianism (人口论). The poverty of the poor was the fault of the poor.And it was so because it was a product of their excessive fecundity (生育).(4)Social Darwinism (社会达尔文主义) is the fourth solution. The elimination of thepoor is nature’s way of improving the race. （物竞天择，适者生存。
）(5)The notion that there is something economically damaging about helping the poorremains with us to this day as one of the ways by which we get them off our conscience. Public assistance to the poor interfered with the effective operation of the economic system.2.What are the five current designs?(1)Most of the things that must be done on behalf of the poor must be done in oneway or another by the government.(2)The second design is to allege that any form of public help to the poor only hurtsthe poor.(3)Public-assistance measures have an adverse effect on incentive.(4)Transferring money from the rich to the poor through the government has badeffect on freedom.(5)Finally, when all else fails, we resort to simple psychological denial.3.In the title, why the author use our instead of people’s?In starting our conscience, the author seems to indicate that he is included in the search of ways of “getting the poor off our conscience”, thus making it sound that he is reflecting on a moral sin we are all guilty of, rather than adopting a condescending way of preaching. The word“our”implicitly includes “all people who are not poor – the rich”. It’s ironical, so it is not precise if it is changed to “people’s” conscience.4.How did people feel when a number of social welfare measures were put intopractice. Were they right in thinking so?People felt that the policy of ignoring the poor and refusing assistance had beenabandoned. The government was making efforts to relieve the misery of the unfortunate, so they did not need to pay attention any more.They were not completely right. While it was true that many measures had been implemented and were working, the desire to get the poor off our conscience still lingered on, waiting for a chance to come back.Lesson Two The Woods Were Tossing with JewelsWhat does “jewels” mean in the title?(1)The author compares “the birds in the woods”to “jewels”because of theirbrightly colored plumage (羽毛), and since the birds flew back and forth across the trail, the author felt as a little girl that the woods were tossing with jewels. (2)“Jewels”also symbolize some qualities, such as self-reliance (自信), freedom,courage, hard work, simple life, love of nature, love of family, trust and caring.Lesson Three At War with the Planet1.What are the two worlds that people live in? What is the common, unthinkingattitude towards the two worlds?(1)The two worlds refer to natural world and the world of human creation.(2)The attitude is: we are responsible for events of our own world, but not for whatoccurs in the natural world.2.What’s the purpose of the author’s writing?The purpose is not to support the ecosphere or the technosphere, but to find a way to end the war and to allow peaceful accommodation to the needs of the natural order. 3.What are the two spheres? And their differences?The two spheres refer to ecosphere and technosphere.According to the author, the ecosphere refers to the air, water and soil that cover the Earth and the plants and animals that live on it. The technosphere means man-made things.(1)The ecosphere is an elaborate(精细的) network, in which each component part islinked to many others. In the technosphere, the component parts have a very different relation to their surroundings.(2)The ecosphere process is closed cyclical（循环）,while the process of technosphereis linear（直线）.(3)The ecosphere is consistent and harmonious, while the technosphere is full ofrapid change and variation.4.What are the three laws?(1)Everything is connected to everything else.(2)Everything has to go somewhere.(3)Nature knows best.Lesson Four Nettles1. What does “Nettles” mean?The narrator remembered the Nettles. But those plants with big pinkish-purple flowers are not nettles. They are called joe-pye weeds. In fact nettles are stinging insignificant-looking plants with stalks outfitted with skin-piercing spines. Her mistaking joe-pye weeds for weeds for nettles implies that ordinary life is more like the insignificant-looking nettles that are stinging and piercing, thus irritating and annoying people rather than the joe-pye weeds with snowy pinkish-purple flowers. Real life is disturbing, frustrating and unsettling, offering no tidy resolution.2. What’s the narrator’s new perception of love at last?What happened, or rather what did not happen between Mike and her gave her a new perception of love. Love that was not usable, that knew its place. Not risking a thing yet staying alive as sweet trickles, an underground resource. This is the theme of the story. The event that took place during that weekend may not seem very special or exciting, but through it the author explores the complexity of human emotions and the beauty of ordinary life.3. The symbol of stormDuring the storm, the two were holding each other tightly, but they did that to protect themselves from the terrible storm. Now they kissed and pressed together because they had just survived a devastating storm, a dangerous situation. They did that embraced as a spontaneously shared ritual. At this moment, lust that had disturbed her in the night gave way to this sense of togetherness. We can see that in a sense, the rain had washed away the lust and purified her mind, thus purifying their relationship, too.Lesson Five One against the Many1.What do “one” and “many” mean? What does the author really want to tell us? They refer to “one viewpoint”and “many viewpoints”. In other words, the author regards pragmatism as the key factor which contributed to the rapid development of the United States.2.Some words about “one” and “many”One: ideology, dogma, hedgehogs, creed, proposition.Many: ideal, pragmatism, empiricism, empirical, practical, process, foxily.3.What are the factors which contribute to the rapid development of the UnitedStates?(1)One factor was deep faith in education.(2)Another factor in the process of American development has been the commitmentto self-government and representative institutions. A related factor has been the conviction of the importance of personal freedom and personal initiative –the feeling that initiative the individual is the source of creativity. Another has been the understanding of the role of cooperative activity, public as well as voluntary. (3)But fundamental to all of those has been the national rejection of dogmaticpreconceptions about the nature of the social and economic order.Lesson Six Death of a Pig1.What is the scheme of raising a pig?Buy a piglet in blossom time, feed it through summer and fall, and then butcher it when the solid cold weather arrives.2.Is the story a tragedy or comedy?Although the author humorously describes the death of his pig, he sho ws great sympathy, worry, and sadness. On the whole, the story should be considered as a tragedy instead of a comedy.3.What is the message the author wants to express?White, however, is not merely portraying a tragic scene; he is conveying an important message. To him, time may be circular for the seasons, the weather, and human nature, but for human, or animals in this case, time is painfully one-directional.4.What does the author think through the pig’s pain and suffering?The pain and suffering of the pig made him think of the fate of man and insecure, suffering world. He wrote, “the pig’s imbalance became the man’s vicariously, and life seems insecure, displaced, transitory”. When the pig finally died, White felt notthe loss of ham, but the loss of pig because it “had suffered in a suffering world”. The author is aging and dying. To him, the suffering of the pig symbolizes the suffering of human beings.Lesson Seven1.What is an inaugural address?Presidential inauguration is a solemn occasion which requires a formal speech. Hence the employment of pseudo-Roman and biblical language to add solemnity. The occasion also demands that the speech should be short, forceful and appealing to emotion. Hence the speech uses structure, antithesis and anaphora and includes the memorable statement of “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”2.What’s the purpose of his speech?Against such a domestic and international background, Kennedy’s speech was designed to convince and persuade. Kennedy wanted to convince the American people and the world that the President and his team were capable of leadership, with vigor and vision. He needed to persuade the allies to stand with the United States, as well as to persuade newly independent countries and other poor Third World countries that the new administration would be friendly to them. Further Kennedy hoped to persuade the Soviet Union and the other Warsaw Pact countries that the new administration bore them no ill-will and wanted to work with them for peace and prosperity.3.What is the nature of the struggle?This is a struggle for peace, democracy and prosperity. The enemies of the struggle are tyranny, poverty, disease, war and natural disasters. These enemies are the common enemies of all of us.4.The functions of Chinese President?LeaderTo serve the people as a servant.5. What does “torch” refer to?The torch refers to the spirit of the First Revolution. The First Revolution refers to the War of Independence. It is considered to be the first successful bourgeois revolution in the world.Lesson Nine The Bluest Eye1. Symbol of The bluest eyesIt refers to goodness happiness and beauty in the white society, while blackness is perceived ugliness.Pecola’s greatest desire is to have blue eyes. She believes that her ugliness is the source of all her misery and that having blue eyes will be the key to happiness. She is convinced that if she had blue eyes, she would become pretty and happy that a ll her problems would be gone. She would become a beautiful girl loved by everyone.2. Wind and Snow(最后一段)the author describes how Pecola walks away from the house in a cold wind. A cold wind is blowing and snow is dying on the pavement, which implies that something in Pecola’s heart also has dead. The cold wind and snow reflect the coldness Pecola feels after the event; the coldness in nature reflects the coldness in human relationships.。
戚继光抗倭英语作文
戚继光抗倭英语作文In the tumultuous seas of the Ming Dynasty, the winds of change bore tales of valor and defiance. Among the heroesthat emerged from these storied times was Qi Jiguang, a beacon of military prowess whose name is etched in the annals of Chinese history for his indomitable spirit in the face of the Wokou, the Japanese pirates that plagued the southeastern coasts of China.Qi Jiguang, a man of unyielding resolve, was not just a military commander but a symbol of the Chinese people's determination to protect their homeland. His journey was one of hardship and triumph, a narrative that resonates with the human spirit's capacity to endure and overcome.Born into a military family, Qi Jiguang was destined for a life of service. His early years were marked by rigorous training and a deep study of military tactics, which would later serve him well in his battles against the Wokou. The pirates, a formidable force with no regard for the lives and livelihoods of the coastal communities, were a scourge that demanded a response.In the 16th century, as the Wokou's depredations grew bolder and more destructive, Qi Jiguang was appointed to lead the fight against them. He formed a special force known as the Qi Family Army, which was renowned for its discipline, training, and the innovative tactics that Qi Jiguang himselfdevised. His strategies were a blend of traditional Chinese military wisdom and his own insights, which allowed his forces to outmaneuver and outfight the pirates.The battles were fierce, with the Wokou employing guerrilla warfare tactics that made them difficult to pin down. However, Qi Jiguang's leadership and the tenacity of his troops turned the tide. In one of the most celebrated engagements, the Battle of Taizhou, Qi Jiguang's forces achieved a decisive victory, effectively ending the Wokou threat in that region.Qi Jiguang's legacy extends beyond his military achievements. He was also a proponent of social reform and a writer who documented his experiences and strategies in his works, which have become essential readings for military historians. His life stands as a testament to the power of strategic thinking, disciplined training, and the unwavering will to defend one's homeland.In the tapestry of Chinese history, Qi Jiguang's story is a thread of vibrant color, a reminder of the courage and strategic brilliance that can turn the course of history. His fight against the Wokou is not merely a chapter of the past but a lesson for the present and the future, echoing the timeless truth that the defense of one's land requires not just strength but also strategic acumen and an unbreakable spirit.。

L e s s o n5T h e O n e A g a i n s t T h e M a n y 1在这个新生国家渴望发展的时代，回眸美国从不发达国家开始的发展历程是很有教益的。
2当然，每个国家都有各自的发展问题而且必须根据其各自的传统、能力和价值解决它们。
美国的经验在许多方面都是独特的。
这个国家有着得天独厚的优势——主要是人口相对稀少而资源十分丰富。
但是很明显，人口和资源之间有利的比例不是促进美国发展的唯一因素。
如果真是这样的话，在人口与资源比例上更有优势的印第安人，在海外殖民者到来以前，早就应该把国家发展起来了。
同样重要的还有这些殖民者在面临各种经济和社会环境的挑战的精神。
几个基本思想要素对于促进美洲大陆社会和经济迅速发展起到了至关重要的作用。
3其中一个思想因素就是对教育的深信不疑。
对人员的投入是社会资源分配的最基本方式，这信念年在美国殖民地最早期就存在。
它源于对思想原则的信仰，而不是出于对经济利益的追求；它源于对人的尊严的笃信以及由此而产生的信念，即给人们提供机会去发展其最大的潜能是社会的责任。
但与此同时，它帮助美国奠定了走向现代化的基础。
4现代化的工业社会必须首先是知识的社会。
经济历史学家把美国两个世纪发展期间2/3的经济增长归功于生产率的提高。
当然，这种生产率的提高直接来源于国家对教育和研究的投入。
JK高博瑞曾经恰当地指出：“在智力提高上提高的每一美元或卢比所带来的国家收入，都大于将其投入到铁路、水坝、机器工具，或其他有形生产资料所能带来的国家收入。
”这句话准确地叙述了美国的经验。
5促进美国发展进程的另一个思想因素是对自治和代议制的追求。
我们发现民主是使人的才智得到充分施展、人的能量得以充分发挥的最好方式。
民主思想一方面确信人的自由的重要性和创新来自个人；另一方面是懂得合作的作用，这种合作包括义务的和自发的两种。
6但所有因素当中最基本的，或许是对美国发展速度最重要的一个就是美国拒绝关于社会本质和经济规律的教条式的偏见。
幸运的是，美国不是一个观念性很强的国家。
7在我看来，意识形态体系是指人们探索去理解、维护和改变世界时所遵循的系统的、固定的信条总和。
意识形态体系与经验主义的斗争在人类历史上源远流长。
在意识形态体系与经验主义斗争的历史上，意识形态体系曾吸引了人类历史上一些聪明绝顶的人物——艾赛亚伯林先生称之为“刺猬”，即懂得一件大事的人，和“狐狸”，即知道很多小事的人。
8没有人能说美国始终如一地不受意识形态体系诱惑的影响，也就是不受以一种有序的、全面的、永恒的方式来确定国家目标的诱惑的影响。
毕竟，美国人的思维方式深受加尔文派神学的影响，这种神学是有史以来人类创造的最崇高、最令人敬畏的分析体系之一，而如此形成的思维方式一定始终容易受到世俗意识形态体系的攻击。
那些所谓“刺猬”贯穿于美国整个历史，他们企图赋予美国一个万能的信条，把美国精神转变成一系列必须遵循的主张，用一种或另一种最终规律来解释国家的传统。
9然而，大多数美国人对抽象的理性主义和僵硬的经验理论持明智的不信任态度。
我们的民族不相信一成不变的终极目标，而忠诚于发展中探求。
在她处于最佳时期时，美国可以说超越了所有的意识形态体系。
她不允许由于信仰教条的原因使现实被歪曲，使人们的实践受到束缚，使选择的范围变得十分狭小。
这种对意识形态体系的怀疑是社会创造力的首要源泉。
最重要的美国社会思想是经验主义、实践主义和实用主义。
结果，美国最显着的特点是创新和尝试。
10实用主义并不完全排斥抽象概念，就像意识形态体系不完全排斥经验一样。
当抽象概念与经验发生冲突、必须做出取舍时，区别就显现出来了。
在这一点上，实用主义者拒绝抽象概念，而意识形态主义者拒绝经验。
共和国的早期历史阐释了这种差异。
美国独立战争是在某些普遍价值指导下的实用主义的尝试。
殖民者们为独立而战所根据的是英国的公民自由和代议制政府的理想；他们起义反抗英国人是用了英国的理由。
美国独立的理想可以在伴随国家产生的权威文献当中找到表述：独立宣言、宪法以及权利法案。
11保持理想与意识形态体系的差异是非常重要的。
理想是指一个国家长远目标以及它所追求的精神。
意识形态体系是不同的，它更系统、更详尽、更全面、更教条。
开国者托马斯杰斐逊的事例证明了这种差异。
杰斐逊既是理想的阐述者，又是意识形态体系的阐述者。
作为理想的阐述者，他仍然是一个充满活力、富于创新的人——不仅活在美国人心中，我相信也活在所有主张人的尊严和自由的人心中。
然而，作为一个意识形态主义者，他只是一个令人好奇的历史人物，他的思想过时与今天的现实无关。
作为一个意识形态主义者，比如说他相信农业是理想社会的唯一基础，小土地所有制是自由的根基，诚实的，品德高尚的耕种者是民主国家唯一可以信赖的公民，以农业为基础的经济是自由调节，因此要求最小的政府，政府管得越少越好；另一方面，自由国家的最大敌人是都市化，工业，银行业，无土地的工人阶级和所有其他的我们现在所知道现代化过程中的特点，以及能指导国家发展的强大政府。
这就是杰斐逊的意识形态体系，如果美国响应了这种思想，我们今天将是一个衰弱无能的国家。
响应了他的理想而不是意识形态体系，美国成为一个强大的现代化国家。
12幸运的是，杰斐逊喜欢他的理想胜过他的意识形态体系。
如果发生冲突，他选择怎样对百姓有利而不是怎样符合理论条条。
说实在的，杰斐逊一生在意识形态体系上所作的努力与他的性格是相矛盾的。
他的性格特征基本上是灵活的，从经验出发的。
真正的杰斐逊不是意识形态体系的杰斐逊，而是那个曾经指出“一代人不能把他们关于公共政策和人类命运主张强加给下一代人”的杰斐逊。
13对意识形态体系的忠诚错在哪儿呢？问题是这样的，意识形态体系不是现实的描绘，它是来自现实的模式，这一模式的创造者（意识形态主义者）把现实中至关重要的某些明显特征区分出来。
也就是说，意识形态体系是来自现实的抽象概念。
抽象概念或模式本身并没有错。
事实上，没有它们，我们就不可能进行讨论。
意识形态体系的谬误是忘记了意识形态体系对现实的抽象概念，而把这种抽象概念本身当成了现实。
14简而言之，意识形态主义者不断发生的错误是他们混淆了自己整齐的模式与广阔的、汹涌的、不可预见的人类实践的现实之间的区别。
这种混淆至少有两方面恶果：让意识形态体系的信仰者犯宿命论历史观的错误；误导他们对公共政策的具体选择。
15让我们思考一下意识形态主义者的历史观。
他们认为历史上的奥秘，可以用清晰的，绝对的，能解释过去和预测未来的社会信条来理解。
意识形态体系因此预先假定了一个封闭的世界，它的历史是确定的，它的原则是一成不变的，它的价值和目标是可以从社会信条体系中推理出来的，而这个理论体系的本质掌握在永无谬误的圣人手中。
在关于“一”和“多”的古老的哲学争论中，意识形态主义者支持“一”。
他们坚信世界作为一个整体是可以被认知的，一个单一的观点是：丰富的、永不停顿的人类生活可以简化为一个单一抽象的解释系统。
16美国的传统发现了这种关于人类历史的观点是矛盾的、虚假的。
美国传统把世界看成“多”，而不是“一”。
威廉詹姆斯的作品以及詹姆斯称作“激进经验主义”的对待哲学问题的方法，最好地表达了这种经验主义的本能，即着重事实而不是推理，看重行动而不是教条。
詹姆斯反对认为单一的解释就能解答历史上所有的问题这样的信念，反对认为所有政治和社会问题都能在那些圣典的结论部分找到答案的主张，反对对历史宿命论的解释，反对封闭的世界。
他支持被他成为“未完成的世界”——一个以成长性、多样性、不确定性、神秘性、偶然性为特征的世界——一个自由的人们可以找到部分真理，而不是某个凡人独自掌握了绝对真理的世界；一个社会的进步不是依赖单一的学说，而是依靠自由思想不受约束的交流的世界。
17因此意识形态体系和实用主义的历史观是完全不同的。
就如同他们处理公共政策的方法完全不同一样。
意识形态主义者错把模式当成现实，总是误导关于公共决策的可能性和结果。
20世纪的历史就是意识形态体系使人类多方面误入歧途的记录。
18让我们看一个当代的例子。
例如在是选择公有制还是选择私有制的问题上，在发展中国家占据了如此多的政治经济讨论，现在已经很清楚了，它不是宗教的原则。
它不是一个由绝对论者意见决定的道德问题，也不能被那些认为公有制是邪恶的右派，或那些认为私有制可耻的左派来决定。
它不是理论能回答的问题，只能通过经验和试验来解决。
我甚至建议在思想界和学术界的讨论中摒弃某些用滥了的词语。
这些词语不再有清晰的含义。
这些词语只能使头脑发热，而不会给人以智慧的光芒。
他们是煽动的言辞，而不是分析的话语。
19随着混合社会的发明，实用主义战胜了绝对论。
由此，世界明白了混合经济提供了把社会控制和个人自由有机结合的手段。
但意识形态体系就像毒品：不管实践怎样揭露它，对它的渴望依然存在。
这种渴望无疑会永远存在，只要还有人渴望找到一种无所不包并能解释一切的意识形态体系。
真的，只要政治哲学的形成仍受到追根求源这种冲动支配。
20我们曾经提到过，最古老的问题是“一”和“多”关系的问题。
我们可以确定无疑地说，我们这个时代的根本矛盾恰恰是那些想要把世界简化为“一”的人与那些认为世界是“多”的人之间的冲突——那些相信世界会朝着一个方向进化、经过单一预先设定的路线，奔着单一预设的结局的人与那些相信人类的未来就像过去一样、根据多样化的传统、价值、目标继续朝着多个方向、奔向多种结局的人之间的冲突。
简而言之，它是在教条主义和实用主义、理论社会和试验社会之间的选择。
21意识形态主义者害怕思想的自由流动，甚至害怕在自己思想体系内偏离主流的不同思想。
他们确信他们独占真理。
因此他们总是觉得屠杀异端者是在拯救世界。
他们的追求仍然是根据他们的意识形态体系改造世界。
他们的目标是按照确定可靠的理论，建造一个铁板一块的世界——绝对的权力必然导致权力的滥用。
22自由人的目标与此大相径庭。
自由人掌握许多具体的真理，但他们认为没有一个凡人能够掌握绝对真理。
他们宗教和理性的传统致使他们怀疑那些声称永无谬误的人。
他们认为对于一个人来说，没有比把自己当作神更荒唐的了。
他们承认人的智力是有限的，人的心灵是脆弱的，人类在判断力上是具备特色的。
他们懂得人类奋斗是存在缺憾的，但仍然奋斗不息。
