男孩们很快就明白如果事情看起来好得不像真的那多半确实不是真的。

轻轻松松赚大钱约翰•G•哈贝尔“你们该看看这个 ”我向我们的两个读大学的儿子建议道。

“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话这兴许是一种办法。

”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。

塑料袋上印着一条信息说需要招聘人投递这样的袋子这活儿既轻松又赚钱。

“轻轻松松赚大钱!” “我不在乎失不失尊严 ”大儿子回答说。

“我可以忍受 ”他的弟弟附和道。

“看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子真使我痛心 ”我说。

孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。

我听了很高兴便离城出差去了。

午夜时分我已远离家门在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。

电话铃响了是妻子打来的。

她想知道我这一天过得可好。

“好极了!”我兴高采烈地说。

“你过得怎么样?”我问道。

“棒极了!”她大声挖苦道。

“真棒!而且这还仅仅是个开始。

又一辆卡车刚在门前停下。

”“又一辆卡车?”“今晚第三辆了。

第一辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的广告第二辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的广告。

我不知道这一辆装的啥但我肯定又是四千份什么的。

既然这事是你促成的我想你或许想了解事情的进展。

”我之所以受到指责事情原来是这样由于发生了一起报业工人罢工通常夹在星期日报纸里的广告插页必须派人直接投送出去。

公司答应给我们的孩子六百美金任务是将这些广告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户人家去。

“不费吹灰之力!”我们上大学的大儿子嚷道。

“六百块!”他的弟弟应声道 “我们两个钟点就能干完!”“西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页 ”妻子告诉我说 “现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。

就在我们说话的当儿两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。

这么多广告我们可怎么办?”“你让孩子们快干 ”我指示说。

现代大学英语精读4UNIT1翻译及课后答案

UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学——你学了吗？”有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

(完整版)现代大学英语精读4UNIT1翻译及课后答案

UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学——你学了吗？”有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

现代大学英语精读4课后答案（外语教学出版社）Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyAnswers:I. I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all. The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively. I was demanded to learn thinking there. People like Mr. Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy. The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security. A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it .Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living. I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1 . C2 . C3 . D4 . D5 . C6 .B7 .C 8. D 9 .D 10. D 11. B 12 .D 13 .D 14 .B 15 .
