Someone will pass hours in sleeplessness in bed. The very actof concentration makes him more wakeful than ever. 1 belongto the latter. I die of sleepiness when I write. But when I getinto bed, 1 can do anything but sleep. I can compose grand symphonies, paint magnificent pictures and write wonderful articles. The artificial ways of inducing sleep are legionbut are only alike in their ineffectuality. When 1 can't sleepat night, I imagine a dialogue with an imaginary friend till 1 either laugh or fall asleep. I find that it answers to induce sleep.G.In this essay, sleeplessness is talked about ironically. Therefore, touches of humour and exaggerations can be seen here and there. For instance, "… stare at the reproachfully blank paper…", "sleep is a coy mistress, much given to a teasing inconsistency …" Reading these, the audienc e can' t help laughing. In the mean time, the author's meaning is forcefully conveyed. One example will suffice to show that the author isa master of exaggeration. In the essay, he said, "When I am in the humour, I can compose grand sy mphonies …" In this way, the author's ideas are vividly presented. According to the author, insomnia is an agony. But it is praiseworthy. It shows the man lacks no sympathy or depth if he suffers from sleeplessness. On the other hand, those who find no difficulty in falling asleepare inhuman and are lacking in depth.。

Grass-roots party organizations "two" is to strengthen the service of party members and cadres, the pioneer spirit. Distribution of grass-roots party organizations in all walks of people, clothing, shelter, which belongs to the nerve endings of the party organization and comments reputation has a direct perception of the masses.

Grass-roots party organizations "two" is to cleanse all people not happy not to see "stereotypes", establish the honest faithful, diligent faith for the people.

Grass-roots party organizations "two" is to strengthen the sense of ordinary party members, participating in consciousness, unity consciousness. For reasons known, members of grass-roots party branches less mobile, less resources, and the construction of party organizations have some lag.

柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击.路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一-妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里.他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的.四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。

“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。

这幢房子是1915年建造的。

至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。

我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。

"老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。

Lesson 11 --课文P11 英译汉Now that I can have her only in memory, I see my grandmother in the several postures that were peculiar to her: standing at the wood stove on a winter morning and turning meat in a great iron skillet; sitting at the south window, bent above her beadwork, and afterwards, when her vision failed, looking down for a long time into the fold of her hands; going out upon a cane, very slowly as she did when the weight of age came upon her; praying. I remember her most often at prayer. She made long, rambling prayers out of suffering and hope, having seen many things. I was never sure that I had the right to hear, so exclusive were they of all mere custom and company. The last time I saw her she prayed standing by the side of her bed at night, naked to the waist, the light of a kerosene lamp moving upon her dark skin. Her long, black hair, always drawn and braided in the day, lay upon her shoulders and against her breasts like a shawl. I do not speak Kiowa, and I never understood her prayers, but there was something inherently sad in the sound, some merest hesitation upon the syllables of sorrow. She began in a high and descending pitch, exhausting her breath to silence; then again and again--and always the same intensity of effort, of something that is, and is not, like urgency in the human voice. Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room, she seemed beyond the reach of time. But that was illusion; I think I knew then that I should not see her again.现在她只存在于我的记忆里了。

高级英语第一册课文翻译第十一课词典的用途究竟何在?(节选)伯根?伊凡斯《韦氏新国际英语词典》(第三版)刚一问世,便遭到许多有名的报刊连篇累牍的攻击,这真是一个奇怪的现象。

以前还从来没有哪一部像这样有学术价值的鸿篇巨著遭到过如此肆无忌惮的攻击和侮蔑。

《大西洋》杂志上刊载的一篇文章评价这部词典“令人失望”,“令人震惊”,是“一大不幸”,“耻辱和灾难”。

《纽约时报》则发表一篇专论,称这部词典将“加速英语的退化进程”,并严厉指责词典编者们有负众望。

《美国律师学会学刊》认为该词典的出版是“令人遗憾的事件”、“词典编者不负责任的杰出典范”、“对英语规范化事业的一记沉重打击。

”《生活》杂志上的文章则称这部词典为“无用的词海”,说它“荒谬可笑”、“糟糕透顶”、“让人痛心”。

文章作者们还说他们怀疑“林肯在写葛底斯堡演说时是否会参考这部词典。

这种观点并没有很清楚地说明林肯的写作方式,却很能说明《生活》杂志上的那些文章是怎样写出来的。

究竟是什么导致了这场喧嚣与愤怒呢?出版这部词典的麦里姆出版公司也许称得上是全球最大的词典出版商,该公司声称他们为筹划这部词典的出版工作耗资三百五十万美元,动员了三百名专家学者花费二十七年的心血才完成了世界上任何语言中词汇量最大的词库。

难道这一切都是骗人的把戏吗?既然毁誉之间的差别是如此之大,我们就有必要首先探讨一下词典编纂工作的基本原则。

词典的意义究竟何在?词典的任务是什么?一般读者查词典的目的是什么?人们花钱买词典后有权期望从词典中得到些什么?在探究词典编纂的基本原则之前,我们有必要先作两点说明。

需要说明的第一点是,词典所涉及的是词。

有些词典除收词之外还提供多种多样其他方面的有用资料:有的在衬页上附有度量衡换算表,有的列出主要历史事件年表,还有的词典附有一些家用医方。

这种作法当然也无可厚非。

但是,最近三十年来英语词汇量的猛增迫使所有的词典都必须尽量提高篇幅利用率。

假如要从词典中删去什么内容的话,合理的做法是首先删去这些附加的内容,而以收词为主。

张汉熙《高级英语》第一册课后答案2Lesson10 The Trial That Rocked the WorldI.1)In the 1920s,when he was a teacher at a secondary school in Dayton,a little town in the mountains of Tenessee,he was charged with teaching evolution and had to be present in the court.The trial。

however,rocked the world.After the trial,he studied at the University of Chicago and became a geologist for an oil company later.2)The struggles were in fact struggles between ignorance and wisdom.religion and science.That showed the spread of science and truth was no easy task.3)Because the result would effect the whole country,even the world.4)Darrow and Malone thought that the Bible could co—exist with the Evolution Theory and it was acceptable for a Christion to be an evolutionist.Besides,the Bible should not be interpreted and accepted literally.Bryan just thought the opposite way.5) The trial began with prayer by a local minister. This showed the connection of the religion (Christianity) with the law. Among 12 jurors three had never read any book except the Bible. One couldn't read. That showed that the religion and ignorance play an important role in the law. Judging by the fact above, the law and legal proce- dures in the U. S. at that time were not sensible.6)John Scopes lost the case in the court, but he won in a real sense.7)We cannot take the Bible literally. Actually there is something inconsistent in it. It can be accepted as a religious book whose interpretation should not be defined by somepeople only.8)This article is intended to draw the world's attention to the Evolution Theory and persuade people not to be stubbornly hostile to science.II.1)We have some clever and unexpected tactics and we will surprise them in the trial.2)The case had come down upon me unexpectedly and violently.3)The fundamentalists believe in a word-for-word acceptance of what is said in the Bible.4)that all life had developed gradually from a common original organism5)Let's accuse Scopes of teaching evolution and let the court decide whether he is breaking the law or not.6) People from the nearby mountains, mostly fundamentalists, came to support Bryan against those professors, scientists, and lawyers who came from the northern big cities and were not fundamentalists.7)As my father complained angrily, "That' s no jury at all. "8)He is here because unenlightenment and prejudice are widespread and unchecked.9)People had to pay in order to have a look at the ape and to consider carefully whether apes and humans could have a common ancestry.10)and the crowd, who were mainly fundamentalists, took his words showing no fear as if they were prayers, interrupting frequently with "Amen"Ⅲ.

The implication is there is nothing lofty, noble about human beings in the eyes of the evolutionist.4)This is a pun, i. e. playing on words. This sentence may have two different interpretations, depending on how you read it. If you pause before the dash, it means Darwin, the naturalist is correct. If you read out the whole sentence, it means Darwin the shop owner is directly inside.5)Even the ape shuddered when it realized that it might share the same ancestry with human beings (especially the fundamentalists).6) Malone considered the defeat a blessing in disguise, although Scopes was found guilty, they had succeeded indrawing the attention of the people all over the United States to this issue.7)The statement conveys false modesty about being with the people and indicates regional narrow-mindedness and bigotry.8)This shows that the jurors were ignorant, prejudiced and narrow minded. There couldn't be a fair and impartial trial.9)Bryan's role is self-appointed. There is no need for Bryan to act as the spokesman. If a thing is true it does not need anyone, least of all Bryan, to defend it.10) Bryan was dead against knowledge, Science and new ideas, so it was ironical to name a university after him because the function of a university was to spread knowl-edge, science and new ideas.Ⅵ.1)snowball: metaphor; grow or develop rapidly2)circus atmosphere: metaphor; riotous holiday spirit3)sprout: metaphor; grow or spring up quickly4)spar: metaphor; fight with words, engage in argument5)thunder: metaphor; say loudly and angrily6)like a prairie fire: simile; spreading quickly, rapidly and overcoming all obstacles7)scorch : metaphor wither, thoroughly defeat hot breath of his oratory: metaphor; the fiery speech, the caustic condemnation8)a duel: metaphor; a life and death struggle9)a storm of applause:metaphor;loud applause by many people10)the oratorical duel:metaphor;the speech contest11)spring the trump card:metaphor;take the most decisive course of action which one believes cannot fail12)oratorical storm,blew up:metaphors;the great debate that took place like a fresh wind:simile;brought new and healthy changes.The great debate initiated by Clarence Darrow and Dudley Field Malone in the little court in Dayton brought new and healthy changes throughout the schools and legislative offices of the United StatesⅦ.1)hyperbole 2)transferred epithet 3)synecdoche 4) ridicule 5)sarcasm 6)irony 7)sarcasm 8)antithesis 9)hyperbole 10)ridicule,simile 11)ridicule 12)oxy-moranⅧ.1)初级法院的裁决有利于父母,后来又作了相反的裁决。

One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can know where to find them, and so that they can form a closely knit guild against injustice or persecution . In the cloth-market, for instance, all the sellers of material for clothes, curtains, chair covers and so on line the roadway on both sides, each open-fronted shop having a trestle trestle table for display and shelves for storage. Bargaining is the order of the cay, and veiled women move at a leisurely pace from shop to shop, selecting, pricing and doing a little preliminary bargaining before they narrow down their choice and begin the really serious business of beating the paar

柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。

路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。

他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。

四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。

“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。

这幢房子是1915年建造的。

至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。

我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。

”老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。
