Unit 2Secti‎o n ALearn‎i ng the Olymp‎ic Stand‎a rd for LoveNikol‎a i Petro‎v i ch Aniki‎n was not half as intim‎i dati‎n g as I had imagi‎n ed he would‎be. No, this surel‎y was not the ex-Sovie‎t coach‎my fathe‎r had shipp‎e d me out to meet.But Nikol‎a i he was, Petro‎vi ch and all. He invit‎e d me insid‎e and sat down on the couch‎, patti‎ng the blank‎e t next to him to get me to sit next to him. I was so nervo‎u s in his prese‎n ce."Y ou are young‎,"he began‎i n his Russi‎a n-style‎Engli‎s h. "If you like to try for Olymp‎i c Games‎, I guess‎you will be able to do this. Nagan‎o Olymp‎i c s too soon for you, but for 2002 in Salt Lake City, you could‎be ready‎.""Y es, why not?" he repli‎e d to the shock‎e d look on my face. I was a promi‎si ng amate‎u r ski er‎, but by no means‎the top skier‎i n the count‎ry. "Of cours‎e, there‎ will be many hard train‎i ng sessi‎ons, and you will cry, but you will impro‎v e."To be sure, there‎ were count‎l ess train‎i ng sessi‎o ns full of pain and more than a few tears‎, but in the five years‎that follo‎wed I could‎al way‎s count‎ on being‎encou‎raged‎by Nikol‎a i's amusi‎n g stori‎e s and sense‎of humor‎."My frien‎d s, they go in the movie‎s, they go in the dance‎, they go out with girls‎," he woul d‎start‎. "But I," he would‎conti‎n ue, lower‎i ng his voice‎, "I am pract‎i c e, pract‎i c e, pract‎i c e in the stadi‎um. And by the next year, I had cut 1-1/2 minut‎e s off my time in the 15-kilom‎e ter race!"My frien‎d s asked‎me, 'Nikol‎a i, how did you do it?' And I repli‎e d, 'Y ou go in the movi e‎s, you go in the dance‎, you go out with girls‎, but I am pract‎i c e, pract‎i c e, pract‎i ce.'"Here the story‎usual‎l y ended‎, but on one occas‎i on, which‎ we later‎l earn‎e d was his 25th weddi‎n g anniv‎e rsar‎y, he stood‎proud‎l y in a worn woole‎n sweat‎e r and smile‎d and whisp‎e red, "And I tell you, I am 26 years‎old befor‎e I ever kiss a girl!

I came upon him in a clear‎i ng, and after‎ appro‎xi mat‎e l y 15 minut‎e s of strid‎i ng into the cold breez‎e over the white‎powde‎r to catch‎him, I fusse‎d, "Oh, Nikol‎a i, I feel like I am going‎to die.""When you are a hundr‎e d years‎old, every‎b ody dies," he said, indif‎feren‎t to my pain. "But now," he conti‎n ued firml‎y. "Now must be ski, ski, ski."And, on skis, I did what he said. On other‎ matte‎r s, thoug‎h, I was rebel‎l ious‎. Once, he packe‎d 10 of us into a Finni‎s h bache‎l or's tiny home for a low-budge‎t ski camp. We awoke‎the first‎ morni‎ng to find Nikol‎a i makin‎g break‎fast and then made quick‎ work with our spoon‎s while‎sitti‎n g on makes‎hi ft chair‎s aroun‎d a tiny card table‎.

I'd persi‎s t.Final‎l y he would‎frown‎and say, "Billi‎o n times‎you make motio‎n—then be perfe‎ct," remin‎ding me in an I've-told-you-a-billi‎o n-times‎tone, "Y ou must be patie‎n t."Nikol‎a i's patie‎n ce and my hard work earne‎d me a fourt‎h-place‎natio‎n al ranki‎n g headi‎n g into the pre-Olymp‎i c seaso‎n, but then I misse‎d the cut for the 2002 Olymp‎i c s.Last summe‎r, I retur‎n ed to visit‎ Nikol‎a i.

下⾯是⼩编分享的新视野⼤学英语2课⽂翻译,欢迎阅读! 新视野⼤学英语2第⼆单元课⽂翻译篇1 尼克莱·彼得罗维奇·安尼⾦⼀点都不像我想象的那么吓⼈。

不,他不可能是我⽗亲特地送我来见的那位前苏联教练。

可他的确是尼克莱·彼得罗维奇·安尼⾦本⼈。

他请我进门,在沙发上坐下,⼜拍了拍⾝边的垫⼦,让我坐在他旁边。

在他⾯前,我真的很紧张。

“你还年轻,”他的英语带着俄语⼝⾳: “如果你愿意试着向奥林匹克运动会进军,我想你能⾏。

长野奥运会来不及参加了,但你可以准备参加2002年盐湖城奥运会。

” “完全可以,不是吗?”看到我脸上惊愕的表情,他⼜说道。

我那时是⼀个很有前途的业余滑雪运动员,但在国内决不是顶尖选⼿。

“当然,你需要进⾏很多艰苦的训练,你会哭⿐⼦,但你⼀定会进步的。

” 的确,后来我经历了⽆数痛苦的训练,还为此流了不少眼泪。

但在后来的五年⾥,我总能从尼克莱讲的有趣故事和他的幽默感中得到⿎励。

他开始总是说:“我的朋友们常去看电影,去跳舞,去和⼥孩⼦约会,”然后他会压低嗓门接着说:“我就在运动场上训练、训练、再训练。

第⼆年,我的15公⾥滑雪⽐赛成绩缩短了1.5分钟。

” “朋友们问我:‘尼克莱,你怎么做到的呢?’我回答:‘你们去看电影、跳舞、和⼥孩⼦约会,⽽我⼀直在训练、训练、再训练。

’” 故事通常到这⼉就结束了。

但有⼀次──后来我们知道那天是他结婚25周年纪念⽇──他穿着⼀件旧的⽑⾐,很⾃豪地站着,微笑着轻声说道:“告诉你们,我可是在26岁那年才第⼀次亲吻⼥孩⼦。

她后来就和我结了婚。

” 不管他是不是懂得浪漫,尼克莱知道什么是爱。

She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could. 我看着她在车道上倒着她的新卡车。

车太大,而且太贵。

她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。

我想,原因在我。

她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。

"I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"“我18 岁了,”她经常这样对我说,以至于听得我牙都疼了。

This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor.美国人相信没有人会停滞不前。

如果你不前进,你就落后了。

这种态度造就了一个致力于研究、试验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人谨慎节约的两个要素之一,另一个是劳动。

"We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sandshave run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.有人说:“我们只是时钟的奴隶。

新视野大学英语2课文翻译(Unit1-Unit7)Unit 1 Section A 时间观念强的美国人Para. 1 美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取,你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一,另一个是劳力。

Para. 2 人们一直说:“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎是把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待的。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释;我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源,许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

Para. 3 外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙——常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方,在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务,或者为了赶快买完东西,用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙,这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

工作时间被认为是宝贵的。

Para. 3b 在公共用餐场所,人们都等着别人吃完后用餐,以便按时赶回去工作。

你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽,人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的,这是因为人们非常珍惜时间,而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

Para. 4 许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流,这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来,美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的,更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭,或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人,我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此,时间老是在我们心中的耳朵里滴滴答答地响着。

新视野大学英语2第二章文章及翻译

新视野大学英语2第二章文章及翻译

The humanities: Out of date? 人文学科:过时了吗?1 When the going gets tough, the tough take accounting. When the job market worsens, many students calculate they can't major in English or history. They have to study something that boosts their prospects of landing a job.2 The data show that as students have increasingly shouldered the ever-rising cost of tuition, they have defected from the study of the humanities and toward applied science and "hard" skills that they bet will lead to employment. In other words, a college education is more and more seen as a means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment. This is a trend that is likely to persist and even accelerate.3 Over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will probably continue their long slide in succession. There already has been a nearly 50 percent decline in the portion of liberal arts majors over the past generation, and it is logical to think that the trend is bound to continue or even accelerate. Once the dominant pillars of university life, the humanities now play little roles when students take their college tours. These days, labs are more vivid and compelling than libraries.4 Here, please allow me to stand up for and promote the true value that the humanities add to people's lives. Since ancient times, people have speculated about the mystery of those inner forces that drive some people to greatness and others to self-destruction.This inner drive has been called many things over the centuries. The famous psychologist, Sigmund Freud, called it the "unconscious mind" or, more familiarly, "instinct".5 From the beginning of time, this inner aspect of our being, this drive that can be constructive or destructive, has captured our imagination. The stories of this amazing struggle have formed the basis of cultures the world over. Historians, architects, authors, philosophers and artists have captured the words, images and meanings of this inner struggle in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions. These men and women developed artistic "languages" that help us understand these aspirations and also educate generations. This fertile body of work from ancient times, the very foundation of civilization, forms the basis of study of the humanities.6 Studying the humanities improves our ability to read and write. No matter what we do in life, we will have a huge advantage if we can read complex ideas and understand their meaning. We will have a bright career if we are the person in the office who can write a clear and elegant analysis of those ideas!7 Studying the humanities makes us familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process. In an information economy, many people have the ability to produce a useful product such as a new MP3 player. Yet, very few people have the ability to create a spectacular brand: the iPod. Most importantly, studying the humanities invests us with great insight and self-awareness, thereby releasing our creative energy and talent in a positive and constructive manner.8 Perhaps the best argument in favor of the humanities is the scope of possibilities that are widely open to us. Did you know that James Cameron, world-famous director of the movie, Titanic, graduated with a degree in the humanities? So did Sally Ride, the first woman in space. So did actors Bruce Lee, Gwyneth Paltrow, Renee Zellweger and Matt Damon. Dr. Harold Varmus, who won a Nobel Prize for Medicine, studied the humanities. Even Michael Eisner, Chairman of the Disney Company, majored in the humanities.Famous people who studied the humanities make a long list indeed. It's easy to see that the humanities can prepare us for many different careers and jobs we can undertake, whether medicine, business, science or entertainment. If we study only mathematics, it's likely we will be a candidate only for jobs as a mathematician. If we include studying the humanities, we can make breakthroughs on many barriers and are limited only by our effort and imagination.9 Of course, nowadays, if we study the humanities alone, we are liable to miss many opportunities. Each one of us needs to become as technically and professionallyskilled as possible to help meet the needs of modern life. In fact, increasingly a pairing of technical knowledge and inner insight is seen as the ideal in the establishment of a career. If I were the Dean of Admissions at a medical school and two people applied to our school, both having the required basic scientific courses, one a philosophy major and the other solely a pre-med student, the philosophy applicant would be chosen.10 In summary, the humanities help to create well-rounded human beings with insight and understanding of the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity. The humanities, the ancient timeless reservoir of knowledge, teach us to see things differently and broaden our horizons. They are as useful and relevant in our modern age as they have always been. Doesn't it make sense to spend some time in the company of the humanities, our outstanding and remarkable treasure of knowledge? Who knows how famous YOU might become!The humanities: Out of date? 人文学科:过时了吗?1当形势变得艰难时,困难就采取会计。

Unit 2 Text A人文学科:过时了吗?1 当形势变得困难时,强者会去选学会计。

当就业市场恶化时,许多学生估算着他们不能再主修英语或历史。

他们得学一些能改善他们就业前景的东西。

2 数据显示,随着学生肩负的学费不断增加,他们已从学习人文学科转向他们相信有益于将来就业的应用科学和“硬”技能。

换言之,大学教育越来越被看成是改善经济而不是提升人类自身的手段。

这种趋势可能会持续,甚至有加快之势。

3 在未来几年内,由于劳动力市场的不景气,人文学科可能会继续其长期低迷的态势。

在上一代大学生中,主修文科的学生数跌幅已近50%。

这种趋势会持续、甚至加速的想法是合情合理的。

人文学科曾是大学生活的重要支柱,而今在学生们的大学游中却只是一个小点缀。

现在,实验室要比图书馆更栩栩如生、受人青睐。

4 在这儿,请允许我为人文学科给人们的生活所增添的真实价值进行支持和宣传。

自古以来,人们一直在思索人类自身具有什么神奇的内力使一些人变得崇高伟大,而使另一些人走向自我毁灭。

几个世纪以来,这股内力被称作很多东西。

著名的心理学家西格蒙德·弗洛伊德称之为“潜意识”,或更为人熟知的“本能”。

5 从一开始,人类这股可以是建设性也可以是毁灭性的内在驱动力,就令我们心驰神往。

这些惊人的、充满内心挣扎的故事形成了世界文化的基础。

历史学家、建筑师、作家、哲学家和艺术家们以故事、音乐、神话、绘画、建筑、雕刻、风景画和传统的形式,捕捉到了这些撞击心灵的文字、形象及内涵。

这些男男女女创造出了具有艺术性的“语言”,帮助我们了解人类的这些强烈愿望,并用以教育一代又一代人。

从古时起开始的这些充满想象的大量作品,正是文明的底蕴,它奠定了人文研究的基础。

6 学习人文学科会提高我们的阅读和写作能力。

无论我们这一生中从事什么职业,如果我们能读懂复杂的思想并理解它们的内涵,我们都会受益匪浅。

如果我们是在办公室里能对这些思想写出既明确又简洁的分析的人,我们会有光明的职业前景。

新视野英语2课文翻译Unit1My motherIn my eyes, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her eyes are as clear and bright as the night sky, and whenever she smileds, they would glow up and shine like a million twinkling stars. Nobody could possibly stay angry or depressed under such a smile, and even a heart of stone would crumble under her shine.She is also the gentlest person alive. Once, when I scraped my knee by accident, she flew like a wirlwind to my side, and took out a piece of alcohol swab to clean the cut. It stung like I was being bit by a bee, so she started blowing the red rash on my knee. The light gust of wind coming out of her mouth soothed the pain, and suddenly I had the courage to stand up again. I looked up into her eyes, eyes filled with concentration and gentleness.I want to thank you for your careful care. You have taught me how to study. You also taught how to be a good person. You have a really busy job. But you always help me with my homework. You should rest at home at weekends. But you always take me to the places I want to go. You are the best mother in the world.

He is a man of few words, but he often says to me "A little learning is a dangerous thing". I will always remember these words.He always makes use of his wit and humor to relax tense situation at work. He is m humorous that his colleagues and friends all enjoy staying with him. He also uses humor to create a very happy family atmosphere.I love my father very muchUnit3winnerEvery body wants to succeed.

To get to the destination, we still have much to learn .therefore , guys, come on .strive every nerve to make an attempt, whatever happens,have faith in yourself , a bright future is waiting for you.Unit7Dining Customs in ChinaEvery country has its own peculiar dining customs. The Chinese feel that the first rule of being a courteous guest is to be modest. When a person is invited to dinner, he will decline first because he is afraid it will give the host and hostess a lot oftrouble preparing for it. As the host keeps inviting him, he will then accept it. Usually the guest will bring some gifts to the host, such as fruit, flowers and wine. the host will immediately protest h is doing so by saying, “You shouldn't have brought the gifts. You are too polite and generous! ”Before the dinner, the guests and the host all sit at the table and start chatting. Usually the hostess is busy preparing dishes. The host offers something such as tea, sunflower seeds, and fruit. The guests always say, “No, no, please don’t bother, I am not thirsty.” or “I will help myself to them.”The dinner will begin when everybody is present and the guests are invited to sit down first. When the dinner begins, The host often says to the guests , “ Please help yourselves .” The guests usually say , “ OK! OK!” The host starts the dinner first and the others follow. The host or hostess will bring food to the bowls of their guests to encourage them to eat as much as they can. The guests will say “No, no, you don’t have to bother” or “I will help myself” at the beginning and will let the host or hostess do so later on. At a Chin ese table a guest should not eat too quickly to finish eating. The Chinese like to talk with each other during the dinner. If someone eats without speaking to anyone else, he is considered unfriendly or impolite.At the end of dinner, if someone wants to leave the table, he should apologize to others for not being able to accompany them to the end and at the same time ask them to eat slowly. When the dinner is over, the guests will offer to help with the cleaning, but of course, the host and hostess will not let them do so. Instead, they will ask the guests to watch TV, drink tea, and sometimes to play cards or Mahjong. After some time, the guests will leave, and it is customary for the host to see the guests off.The guests try to discourage them from doing so. The guests will invite the host to their home in order to return the favor.Unit10How to Manage StressAs university students, we are lucky to have a chance to learn more things. And college life is beautiful. But college is not st udents’ paradise. We must face many difficulties which come from not only our study, but also our daily lives. These difficulties b ear down on us with the weight of Mount Tai. The stress is harmful to students’ health. We must manage it. Here is how: You can speak out or write down your stress. When you are depressed, you can tell one of your intimate friends all your troubles. Then he or she will giveyou a few words of comfort. You will feel better after that. Also you can write down all your troubles, and read them again and again. When you are bored with them, you will worry less about them.If you don’t like speaking or writing, y ou can go out with your friends. You can go camping, fishing, swimming, skating and things like that. But you must throw yourself into it. Then you will be happy and forget all your stress. You may be tired after that, and you will sleep like a log till broad daylight. The next day, everything will be all right.Remember that stress is dangerous to your health, but you can mange it. Why not start now?How to Stay HealthyNow we are all far away from our families, so a healthy body is crucial for us. But how do we stay healthy? The following is my opinion.Firstly, develop good living habits. At the proper time do theproper things, such as eating, sleeping, exercising, and study ing. Keep at it, and you’ll do more and better things within a limited time. Secondly, exercise is a traditional way to keep healthy and it is extremely effective. Being students, we have to sit at our desks for most of the day.If we don’t spare some time for exercise, fat as well as some toxic substances will accumulate in our body, and cause us much trouble. In addition, exercise is a good way for us to release our emotions. There are so many unpleasant things on campus that we have to taste all kinds of bitterness. When you feel depressed, you may go to the playground and run as fas t as possible. When you feel tired, you’ll find that bitterness is merely a piece of cake. The future is still splendid.Outside the family, we have to adjust ourselves to new conditions all the time. We should remember that it is the greatest pleasure for our parents to see us in good health.Emotions and HealthEveryone wants to be healthy, but what affects health? Health is connected not only with food, but also with emotions.There is an old saying: Laughter is the best medicine. Experiments show that w hen one is angry, there are various kinds o toxic substances produced in the blood. It can do great harm to one’s health. Mos t people who live long are often in a good mood. And they are mostly optimists or realists.Many doctors and psychologists now real ize that good emotions sometimes can be of more help to one’s health than medicine. If a patient always thinks that he is sur e to die, how can he try to fight off his disease?“Smile a happy smile and one will be ten years younger.” That may be a bit exag gerated. But emotions really havesomething to do with health.Unit6I have a good friend. Her name is Amy. She likes fruit is many. She likes to have banana, apple, pear, orange, strawberry. I like apple, orange, strawberry. I like vegetables are tomatoes, carrots and salad. I don't like broccoli. She likes salad. She doesn't like carrots and broccoli。

新视野英语教程2课文翻译

我的第一份工作我第一份真正长久的工作其实是在本地的一个叫“梅尔之家”的小餐馆当服务员。

我在那儿干了七年,学到很多东西,尤其是从一位女服务员海伦那里学到了很多。

海伦六十多岁,红头发,自尊心很强——这是我当时真正缺乏的东西。

我敬佩海伦,因为她在做她所热爱的事——接待顾客——而且没人比她做得更好。

她使每一个人,无论是顾客还是同事,都面带笑意,心情愉快。

我还学到了重要的一点,那就是为生活中取得的小小成就感到自豪。

比如,我在厨房里帮忙的时候,没有什么比完全按照顾客希望的方式做好鸡蛋、给他们端上更让我感到高兴的了。

当女服务员确实改变了我的一生。

我的一个常客,弗雷德·哈斯布鲁克,是个推销员,他每天总是吃同样的东西。

我一看到他朝小餐馆走来,就会把他想点的东西准备好,他甚至都不需要开口。

因为从海伦那里学到了自信,我梦想着有一天能拥有自己的餐馆。

可惜,当我打电话向我父母借钱时,他们说:“我们实在没钱。

”第二天,弗雷德见了我,问道:“出什么事了,阳光女孩?今天没见你笑。

”我把我的梦想告诉了他,说:“弗雷德,我知道,只要有人相信我,我还能做很多事情。

”他向小餐馆的其他几个常客走去,第二天就交给我50,000美元,还有一张我至今还保留着的纸条,上面写着:“拥有梦想的好人应该有机会让梦想成真。

”我很快去了一家银行,这家银行替我拿这笔钱做投资。

与此同时,我一边继续在小餐馆工作,一边盘算着自己开店。

让我难过的是,这笔钱投资失败,我血本无回。

就在这时,我开始考虑去试着做一个股票经纪人,于是决定申请一份银行的工作。

我虽然没有经验,但还是被雇用了,并且做得非常好。

后来,我甚至还把50,000美元还给了弗雷德和其他顾客,外加每年14%的利息。

五年后,我终于有能力开了自己的公司。

最近,我收到弗雷德的一封感谢信,这封信将永远地印在我的心上。

前一阵他病了,并说是我寄给他的钱帮他支付了拖欠的医疗费。

他在信里说:“我真高兴当时在你身上投资。

去上班的路上,简·芬奇一面开着车,一面想着她的桑迪。
她知道自己想说什么,得对桑迪说什么。
她和桑迪之间还可以进行交流,这令她很高兴。
她知道自己得有耐心,得保持自己和桑迪之间沟通的渠道畅通。
她想在桑迪的身边,做她的保护人,同时又给她寻找自我的自由。
我不知道我们的女儿到底怎么回事。
她在变,我很担心她。
化妆品,糟糕的音乐,谁知道以后还会有什么花样?
我们得和她谈谈。
新闻里报道的尽是惹上麻烦的青少年,可他们的父母却不知道自己的孩子有什么问题。”
“哦,我倒不认为她的音乐如此糟糕。
但不管怎么说,你还是说得对,我们需要和桑迪谈谈,” 简说道。
“做了。”
“刷过牙了?”
“妈妈,我还没吃完饭呢。吃完了再刷。”
“桑迪,你怎么穿那件旧圆领衫呢? 难看死了。”
“妈妈,请别这样。”
“别怎么样?”
“别这样烦我。”
“桑迪,你怎么描起眼线来了?”
“我是描了,妈妈。我都描了几个月了。难道不漂亮?”
“桑迪·芬奇,你还小,不能化这么浓的妆。”
收音机“咔嗒”一声,摇滚乐就大声地响开了。
音乐像枪声似的将桑迪吵醒。
她看了一下钟,早上6点一刻。
她躺在床上,听着她喜欢的电台广播,嘴里哼着歌词。

“桑迪,” 她父亲喊道,“桑迪,把音乐关了!”
史蒂夫·芬奇冲进她的卧室。
“你为什么一定要听这么糟糕的音乐?
还听了一遍又一遍。
虽然有节奏,可恐怕不是真正的音乐。”
史蒂夫笑了,“你说得有道理。也许吃点早饭能让我感觉好一点。”
“你注意到了吗,今天早晨我们15岁的女儿都化了什么样的妆?
我真不敢相信自己以前没有注意到。
我想我们应该感到幸运,因为我们女儿的最大问题还只是化妆。
我看到其他年轻人在镇上游手好闲,还文身,浑身穿了许多洞。”
“令我担心的是,”史蒂夫说,“那种音乐对桑迪可能有负面的影响。
“妈妈,我都15岁了,到了可以化妆的年龄了。
给您说实话吧,学校的女孩子都化妆,有些还文身,有的还戴耳环、鼻环、舌环呢。
妈妈,我现在没时间给您说,我快迟到了,得走了。再见。”
桑迪匆匆吻了一下妈妈的脸颊,拿起书冲出了屋子。
桑迪离家上学后,简·芬奇平静地坐下来喝咖啡。
没过一会儿,她丈夫走了进来。
淋浴后,桑迪梳了梳头发,穿上一件旧的绿色圆领衫和一条牛仔裤。
接着她化好妆,走进了厨房。
和往常一样,她不知道早餐该吃什么,便抓了杯牛奶,站在洗涤槽旁吃烤面包。
就在此时,她妈妈简走进了厨房。
“桑迪,你怎么不坐下吃饭? 站着吃饭对身体不好。”
“我知道,妈妈,可我没时间坐着吃。”
“昨天做作业了吧,宝贝?”
“史蒂夫,喝点咖啡吧?”简问道。
“不,谢谢,亲爱的。我胃不舒服,心乱如麻。
可能是因为那讨厌的音乐每天早上把我吵醒。
我想我还不至于老得落伍吧,可没完没了地听那毫无韵律、令人讨厌的歌曲实在让我生气。”
“你知道,亲爱的,不同年龄的人喜欢不同的音乐,” 简劝说道。
“还记得我们听过的一些音乐吗?”
“我喜欢这种音乐,爸爸。这是我最喜欢的。
您听一下吧,您肯定会喜欢的。”
桑迪伸手把音乐开得更响。
“别,别开那么响,我受不了。
把收音机音量调低点,这样我和你妈妈就听不到了。
我敢肯定,那音乐既伤你的耳朵,又伤你的大脑。”
桑迪走进浴室,打开淋浴喷头。
然后她抓起香皂,浑身上下洗个遍,连头发也洗了。
