Unit-8-Two-Truths-to-Live-By课文翻译
1.生活的艺术就是要懂得何时紧抓、何时放手,因为人生就是个矛盾:在令我们依恋于它所赋予的种种恩赐的同时,它也注定我们最终得放弃这些恩赐。
正如古代的犹太学者们所言:“人降世时拳头紧握,但离世时还得松手。
”2.我们当然要紧抓生命,不仅因为它奇妙无比,而且因为它所蕴含的美已散布到了地球的每个角落。
其实,我们都懂得这个道理,然而我们往往只有在回首过去时才会明白这一点,只是在记起它往昔的美丽时,我们却突然发现已时过境迁了。
3.我们铭记褪色的美、消逝的爱。
但是这种记忆却饱含着苦涩,我们痛惜没有在美丽绽放的时候注意它,没有在爱情到来的时候回应它。
4.最近的一次经历再次使我明白了这个道理。
一次严重的心脏病发作之后,我在重症监护病房住了几天。
那不是个令人愉快的地方。
5.一天上午,我得接受几项额外的检查。
由于所需的检查器械在医院另一头的一幢建筑里,所以我得躺在轮床上被推着穿过院落。
6.在我们从病房出来的瞬间,阳光洒在我的身上,我所感觉到的就只有这阳光。
它是多么美丽,多么温暖,多么闪耀,多么辉煌啊!7.我环视四周,看看是否还有其他人也在享受这金色的阳光,然而所有的人都是来去匆匆,且大多数人眼睛只顾盯着地面。
继而我便想到,我也常常陷于琐事,有时甚至陷入俗物之中,对身边每天的美景也是视而不见。
8.我从这次经历所洞悉的灼见,其实与这次经历本身一样平淡无奇:生命的恩赐是珍贵的—只是我们对此从未留心罢了。
9.因此,对我们有着自相矛盾的要求的人生一方面要求我们:不要过于忙碌而错失生活中的美好和庄严;虔诚地迎接每个黎明的到来;拥抱每一个时辰,抓住珍贵的每一分钟。
10.紧紧把握人生……但又不能抓得过死,松不开手。
这是人生这枚硬币的另一面,也正是其矛盾的另一面:我们必须接受失去的现实,学会如何放手。
11.要学会这点并非易事。
尤其当我们年轻时,以为世界在我们的掌控之中,但凡激情满怀的我们一心想得到的东西,都将属于我们。
但是随着生活的继续,我们面临的种种现实让我们慢慢地明白了生活的第二条真理。

Unit8Conflicts in the WorldPassage AReturn from the CageIt was the open space in Austin that initially overwhelmed me. I couldn't adjust to it. The ease with which I could get in a car and drive to any place left me bewildered and confused. Where were the military checkpoints? Where were the armed soldiers asking for my identification papers? Where were the barricades that would force me to turn back?I had just returned to the United States after an absence of 11 years, during which I lived in a refugee camp in Bethlehem, the town where Christ was born. I was not used to freedom of movement, nor to going more than a few miles without encountering military checkpoints.Getting comfortable with my sudden freedom in Austin was going to take time. I had to adjust to no longer feeling like an animal inside a cage. Most days, I felt utterly dazed. I would spend hours sitting on a stone bench at the University of Texas, staring at the squirrels and the birds. The green lawns brought tears to my eyes.My mind would drift to the refugee camp in Bethlehem, and to 3-year-old Marianna, my delightful ex-neighbor. Marianna has never seen a green lawn in her life and has never seen a squirrel. She lives confined to Bethlehem, forced to remain a prisoner behind the checkpoints and the military barricades. The distance between Marianna's house and Jerusalem is no further than the distance from my South Austin home to downtown. Yet Marianna has never been to Jerusalem and is unlikely to go there anytime in the near future, because no Palestinian can venture into the Holy City without a special Israeli-issued permit, and those permits are almost impossible to come by.But adjusting to my sudden freedom paled in comparison to overcoming my fears and my nightmares. When I left Bethlehem, the second Palestinian uprising against Israel's military occupation was already two months under way. The sound of bomb explosions, gunfire and Apache helicopters overhead lingered in my mind. Hard as I tried, I couldn't shake the sounds away. They were always there, ringing inside my head.Now, in Austin, there were nightmares. I would dream either of friends being shot dead, or see pools of blood spilling from human bodies, or that I myself was the target of gunfire. I would wake up in a sweat, terrified of going back to sleep. During the day, the sound of police or ambulance sirens made me jumpy. Helicoptersflying overhead made me uneasy. I had to constantly remind myself that these were most often civilian and not military helicopters. I had to remind myself that the ambulances were not rushing to the wounded demonstrators.I looked around me, and I wondered if anyone realized, or even knew, that the Apache helicopters being used by the Israeli military to shell innocent Palestinian civilians are actually made in this country! As a writer in Palestine, I had regularly visited bombed-out houses in search of stories. The home of a young nurse sticks out in my mind. A few miles away from the stable in Bethlehem where Christ is said to have been born, her house came under attack by Israeli tanks and was completely burned. I held the remains of some of the tank shells in my two bare hands and read the inscription: "Made in Mesa, Arizona."I wanted to stand on a chair and scream this information to everyone walking through the mall. The tear gas civilians inhale in the Palestinian Territories is made in Pennsylvania, and the helicopters and the F-16 fighter planes are also made in the USA. Yet here in this society, no one appears to care that their tax money funds armies that bring death and destruction to civilians, civilians who are no different from civilians in this country.And I worry about the indifference in this country. I worry because someday, young American men will find themselves fighting another Vietnam War - this time possibly in the Middle East - without a notion of what it is they are doing there. And we will have a repetition of history: Mothers will lose sons and wives will lose husbands in an unnecessary war. I have been repeating this warning in all the talks I have been giving in the past nine months. No one took me seriously. I couldn't understand why young Americans, with their whole futures ahead of them, should go to die in a war they will not understand.逃出牢笼刚回到奥斯丁的时候,使我感到无所适从的是这里的广阔自由天地。

I’ve brought back many things I can use---food and drinks, tools, knives and guns.Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house.I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food.I’m even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.当我第一次到达这个岛屿的时候,我一无所有。
但是我发现了这艘大船,然后做了艘小船。
我已经带回来了许多我能够用到的东西---食物,饮料,工具,刀,和枪。
尽管我已经失去了所有,但是我没有失去我的生命。
因此我将不会放弃,我会永远等待另外一艘船。
我已经砍了树,造了房子。
我每天出去几乎都带着我的枪去打动物和鸟来作为食物。
我甚至学习去种水果和蔬菜。

Unit-8-Computers-and-Security课文翻译大学体验英语二
Unit 8 Computers and SecurityPassage A You Are the Weakest Link, Goodbye.Do you remember the good old days? Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus - but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didn't pick them up.But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasn't unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from Personal Computer (PC) to the next cleaning them up.There had to be a better way. Companies now realize that viruses aren't "urban myths", and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines.It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they?Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter - often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. Whilst employees become suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines.This is the danger. Complacency can set in when there is no perceived "action" on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users' minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place - after all, the anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesn't it? And isn't it the IT department's job to look after this sort of thing?Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your company's data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employeessee anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their computers will work and will be safe. Of course, there aren't any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your company from malicious attack but the security of your computer system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor.No employer wants to come across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many companies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call.However, the worry comes when employees start risking company security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus.Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your company. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a computer virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal "kick-start" for their virus distribution.It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employee's mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works.The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your company's defenses; you can even be the biggest IT company in the world; but without your users practicing safe computing they will always be the weakest link.PA 你是最薄弱的环节,再见还记得美好的往日时光吗?在那样的纯真年代,我们共享文档和可执行文件,根本没有半点顾虑。

Unit-8-My-Forever-Valentine-课文翻译-综合教程一
Unit 8 My Forever ValentineThe traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat and eat as much as he could during half time. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday beer and do his holly shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day.I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my "Valentine Man."My first recollection of the magic he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a "mailbox" and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class.That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed "Love, Dad," and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed "Love, Dad." In those years my thank-yous became more of a perfunctory response. The cards seemed less important, and I took for granted the valentine that would always be there. Long past the days of having a "mailbox" on my desk, I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from "significant others," and "Love, Dad" just didn't seem quite enough.If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn't arrive for me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.My mailbox eventually had a rural address, and the job of hand delivering candy and cards was relegated to the U.S. Postal Service. Never in ten years was my father's package late nor was it on the Valentine's Day eight years ago when I reached into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my mother's handwriting.It was the kind of card that comes in an inexpensive assortment box sold by a child going door to door to try to earn money for a school project. It was the kind of card you used to get from a grandmother or an aging aunt or, in this case, a dying father.It was the kind of card that put a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes because you knew the person no longer was able to go out and buy a real valentine. It was a card that signaled this would be the last you would receive from him.The card had a photograph of tulips on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed "Happy Valentine's Day." Beneath it, scrawled in barely legible handwriting was "Love, Dad."His final card remains on my bulletin board today. It's a reminder of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with a generosity of spirit, simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.Those things never die, nor does the memory of a man who never stopped being my valentine.永远的情人在我的童年记忆中,每逢节假日我们家总会一起踢足球,然后享用精心准备的晚餐。

新视野大学英语第三版第一册UNIT8课文翻译UNIT8TESTA友情中的性别差异:矛盾还是不矛盾1想到我的好朋友们,我就会用看电影的眼光看待他们。
对男性和女性的拍摄手法是完全不同的。
我对女性朋友的“电影式”记忆是开放的、亲密无间的。
我们交谈着,像磁铁般互相吸引着。
她们直视我的眼睛,她们善解人意,她们用心倾听。
相比较而言,我对男性朋友的记忆是完全不同的另一部影片。
那是一部动作片或者冒险片!对话不多。
习惯性的行动,或者说一系列的动作,弥补了对话及坦诚倾诉方面的不足。
2我回想起我儿时最早的朋友唐纳德。
那时候我还住在欧洲,我家房子附近有一辆战后遗弃的德国旧卡车。
没有轮子,没有挡风玻璃,没有车门。
但是方向盘还完好无损。
我和唐纳德一直开着这辆卡车——也就是我们的“飞机”——“飞往”美国。
即使到现在,我还记得我们每天飞行的那个套路。
我们飞过欧洲,飞越大西洋,去执行救援任务。
那时候的我们单纯,形影不离,有着最好的朋友之间才有的那种高度安全感。
自然,对于我们彼此间显而易见的感情,我们从未吐露过一个字,一切尽付诸行动。
3每天,当我们飞翔在大西洋上空时,总是不可避免地会出现那精彩的时刻:“发动机故障!”我总会对着麦克风大叫,“我们必须跳出去。
”“啊-啊-啊-啊-啊-!”唐纳德发出像发动机出现故障时的声音。
他看了我一眼,说:“我不会游泳啊!”“别怕!我会把你拉上岸的。
”我总是勇敢地回答。
于是,说完这些后,我们两人都从卡车里扑到满是尘土的街道上。
我在尘土中游泳。
唐纳德淹没在尘土中,一边咳嗽,一边大叫:“有鲨鱼!”但我总是会把他救上来。
第二天,我们交换角色,那精心策划的一幕又重复上演。
“我不会游泳啊!”我会喊道,而唐纳德就会来救我。
我俩数百次地把对方从必死的境地中救出,直到最终有一天我家真的要去美国了。
我和唐纳德在火车站呆呆地站着,准备道别。
我们不知道该说些什么,这次我们谁也救不了谁。
于是,当火车驶离时,我俩只是默默地流泪。

UNIT81. In the last year, MOOCs have gotten a tremendous amount of publicity. Last November, the New York Times decided that 2012 was “the Year of the MOOC,” and columnists like David Brooks and Thomas Friedman have proclaimed ad nausea that the MOOC “revolution” is a “tsunami” that will soon transform higher education. As a Time cover article on MOOCs put it — in a rhetorical flourish that has become a truly dead cliché — “College is Dead. Long Live College!”2. Where is the hype coming from? On the one hand, higher education is ripe for “disruption” — to use Clayton Christensen’s theory of “disruptive innovation” — because there is a real, systemic crisis in higher education, one that offers no apparent or immanent solution. It’s hard to imagine how the status quo can survive if you extend current trends forward into the future: how does higher education as we know it continue if tuition fees and student debt continue to skyrocket while state funding continues to plunge? At what point does the system simply break down? Something has to give.3.At the same time, the speed at which an obscure form of non-credit-based online pedagogy has gone so massively mainstream demonstrates the level of investment that a variety of powerful people and institutions have made in it. The MOOC revolution, if it comes, will not be the result of a groundswell of dissatisfaction felicitously finding a technology that naturally solves problems, nor some version of the market’s invisible hand. It’s a tsunami powered by the interested speculation of interested parties in a particular industry. MOOCs are, and will be, big business, and the way that their makers see profitability at the end of the tunnel is what gives them their particular shape.4. After all, when the term itself was coined in 2008 — MOOC, for Massively Open Online Course — it described a rather different kind of project. Dave Cormier suggested the name for an experiment in open courseware that George Siemens and Stephen Downes were putting together at the University of Manitoba, a class of 25 students that was opened up to over 1,500 online participants. The tsunami that made land in 2012 bears almost no resemblance to that relatively small — and very differently organized — effort at a blended classroom.For Cormier, Siemens, and Downes, the first MOOC was part of a long-running engagement with connectivist principles of education, the idea that we learn best when we learn collaboratively, in networks, because the process of learning is less about acquiring new knowledge “content” than about building the social and neural connections that will 1. 去年,“大规模在线开放课程”得到了广泛的宣传。

Unit 8LOVE AND RESENTMENTBarbara Bick1. I straightened up from my weeding as the frenzied mutterings of anger reached me from the house. My muscles tightened. The screams were so muffled I could barely hear them. "Get away from me, you filthy slut. Leave me alone."2. I moved cautiously through the overgrown bushes, up against the bathroom window, straining to catch the exact words. I want to understand my daughter. "Shut up! Shut up! You always do everything wrong. Incompetent bitch?" The flushing toilet drowned out the rest. I moved away quickly, shaken once again by her wild outbursts. Sometimes she frightens me when she is clearly out of control. But this time I was reassured; she didn't want me to hear. I bent to my weeding as she opened the screen door. She sat down. Her face was calm and impassive.3. "Can I help you, mother?" she asked as she lighted her umpteenth cigarette of the morning and was shaken by her usual barking cough.4. "Sure. Why don't you pull up some of the weeds between the bricks on the path."5. "Oh, that's too hard," she said and she settled deeper into the deck chair.6. "Damn it, Kathy, why is everything too hard for you? Go ahead, get the stool and do what you can." I snapped at her.7. Damn it yourself, I said to myself. Why did I bring her up here? Why, why, why? Yesterday had been rough. She had hurled accusation after accusation at me. "Why do you always say I'm crazy?" she had yelled. "Don't you EVER tell me I'm a paranoid schizophrenic again. That's all you ever do -- call me crazy and I'm not."8. "Kathy," my voice quieter and quieter as hers rose in crescendo, "I have never called you crazy. Please, Kathy, keep your voice down. Kathy, stop it. Stop it right now!"9. I shook away that memory and rose laboriously. I had just come to the island and so I was eager to clean up my burgeoning garden after a winter's neglect. This is the fourth year I have had this tiny treasure of a house. It was to be my retreat from theharassing city, the social and political commitments I take on each year, the needs of family and friends.10. For three summers I have brought my 40-year-old daughter to the island to spend two weeks with me. Surely, I can live for two weeks with the tension and outbursts. Her life is so limited and mine is so full. A short span of days, really, for me to take care of her; to give her some joy. I have so many days, just for me, after she goes back to the city.11. But I can't. I resent the tension. I lose patience. Sometimes I hate her. What is wrong with me? I am strong and healthy; she is vulnerable and ill. It is always my choice to have her here. But I count the days until she is gone and there are moments when I think, no, not another summer. Why do this to myself? Most of the time I know that these weeks are too important to her; I cannot take them away.12. She doesn't sleep well. Before I came up, I discussed the sleeping problem with her psychiatrist so that he could prescribe some medication. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I am afraid to be deep in sleep while she is awake. She is not physically violent. In all the 24 years of her illness, she has attacked me only three times. But they remain with me. Each time, her adrenaline-induced strength had overwhelmed me. And no matter how intimate one is with this illness, the primordial fear of madness lurks deep within. The medication the doctor suggested doesn't work and my bedroom here is an open room without a door to lock. So, I sleep lightly these nights. I sense the lights blazing downstairs. I listen to her cough as she smokes and mutters through the long hours. I try to imagine — out of my own healthy body — what it is like to be Kathy.13. Physically, she always feels unwell. The antipsychotic medication has many unpleasant side effects. More than that, she has no empathy with her own body, cannot take care of it. She eats badly, drinks coffee constantly, smokes incessantly, does no exercise. She has perpetual headaches and frequent stomachaches.14. For years she suffered from Crohn's disease, a deep inflammation of the colon, leaving her little or no control of her bowels. She has been plagued and humiliated by accidents in public. People have responded to this affliction by yelling at her, calling her filthy. She has silently accepted the appellation, taken it within her. "Filthy bitch!" she yells at herself. "Go away!"15. I lie awake, my throat tight and aching as I remember the years when her illness was more active, filled with agonizing hallucinations that most of us, during a lifetime, experience for only seconds in our worst, most searing nightmares.16. She had been a normal, beautiful child. The changes began in high school. Kathy started a diary when she was 16 years old. She wrote: "This morning I feel as though someone took a file and sandpaper and scratched off all my epidermis. I feel raw and sore and ugly and dirty and loathsome. I also have a headache and coffee makes it worse. I escape thru dreams and the pressure of returning reality gives me a headache.17. "Something inside me is going thru this funny, alien state, a sense of being at the mercy of some strange force, and this pathetic scarecrow figure inside me at the mercy of other forces. My stomach is empty and gnawing and uneasy as if anything could fall in and break the superstructure I hold up with all my force."18. Kathy did go off to college. The trauma of her breakdown there was followed by the deadening travail of the long search for a psychiatric solution. Then, a decade of daily life in the huge psychiatric hospital, the "crazy house" as she always called it. In those years, she has never been able to draw a deep breath full of good life.19. The daughter I would have had — were it not for this evil illness — exists in embryo in the daughter I do have. After an outburst, she will come and tell me quietly: "I am sorry, mother. I don't want to fight with you."20. "Thank you," she will say: "for giving me a good day."21. To admit the truth, sometimes I trigger her outburst. Like Tuesday, when I came upon her pouring coffee straight from the jar, half filling her cup with the powder and splattering grains over the counter. I ordered her, peremptorily: "Get a spoon, Kathy. Can't you do things normally once in a while!"22. She whirled and, in a shrill tone, screamed: "I am sick of you always telling me what to do. I am an adult and I don't need you to tell me when to go to bed and when to get up." Hysteria building up, she shouted: "You drive everyone to the edge of hemophiliac absurdity!" Magnetic waves of burning energy rushed from her, hit me and I lashed back, "Get out of this house, Kathy. RIGHT NOW, get out!"23. Later, in the evening, she almost whispers to me: "I've washed my hair, done my nails, and I've cleaned up the dinner dishes. I feel much better now." And I feel sad and ashamed. I know her greatest wish is to live with me all of the time, to have me take care of her, cook her good meals every day as I do these two weeks on the island.24. That I will not do. I must live my own life. But I will give her the small chunks of time: the island for two weeks in summer; at home with me at Christmas; a trip to Florida to see her grandparents. I will also allow myself to resent it sometimes. Like my daughter, like all other human beings, I am not spun of one thread. I love and hate the same person.I am responsible and irresponsible. I will do the best I can with the worst I have to live with.爱与恨1. 癫狂愤怒的喃喃自语声从屋子里传出来,我停止除草,站起身来。

Unit-8-The-Discus-Thrower课文翻译综合教程四
Unit 8The Discus ThrowerRichard Selzer1 I spy on my patients. Ought not a doctor to observe his patients by any meansand from any stance that he might take for the more fully assemble evidence? So I stand in the doorways of hospital rooms and gaze. Oh, it is not all that furtive an act.Those in bed need only look up to discover me. But they never do.2 From the doorway of Room 542 the man in the bed seems deeply tanned. Blueeyes and close-cropped white hair give him the appearance of vigor and good health.But I know that his skin is not brown from the sun. It is rusted, rather, in the last stage of containing the vile repose within. And the blue eyes are frosted, looking inward like the windows of a snowbound cottage. This man is blind. This man is also legless ― the right leg missing from midthigh down, the left from just below the knee.It gives him the look of a bonsai, roots and branches pruned into the dwarfed facsimile of a great tree.3 Propped on pillows, he cups his right thigh in both hands. Now and then heshakes his head as though acknowledging the intensity of his suffering. In all of this he makes no sound. Is he mute as well as blind?4 The room in which he dwells is empty of all possessions ― no get-well cards,small, private caches of food, day-old flowers, slippers, all the usual kickshaws of the sick room. There is only the bed, a chair, a nightstand, and a tray on wheels that can be swung across his lap for meals.5 “What time is it?” he asks.“Three o’clock.”“Morning or afternoon?”“Afternoon.”He is silent. There is nothing else he wants to know.“How are you?” I say.“Who are you?” he asks.“It’s the doctor. How do you feel?”He does not answer right away.“Feel?” he says.“I hope you feel better,” I say.I press the button at the side of the bed.“Down you go,” I say.“Yes, down,” he says.6 He falls back upon the bed awkwardly. His stumps, unweighted by legs and feet,rise in the air, presenting themselves. I unwrap the bandages from the stumps, and begin to cut away the black scabs and the dead, glazed fat with scissors and forceps.A shard of white bone comes loose. I pick it away. I wash the wounds withdisinfectant and redress the stumps. All this while, he does not speak. What is he thinking behind those lids that do not blink? Is he remembering a time when he was whole? Does he dream of feet? Or when his body was not a rotting log?7 He lies solid and inert. In spite of everything, he remains impressive, as thoughhe were a sailor standing athwart a slanting deck.“Anything more I can do for you?” I ask.For a long moment he is silent.“Yes,” he says at last and without the least irony. “You can bring me a pair of shoes.”In the corridor, the head nurse is waiting for me.“We have to do something about him,” she says. “Every morning he orders scrambled eggs for breakfast, and, instead of eating them, he picks up the plate and throws it against the wall.”“Throws his plate?”“Nasty. That’s what he is. No wonder his family doesn’t come to visit. They probably can’t stand him any more than we can.”She is waiting for me to do something.“Well?”“We’ll see,” I say.8 The next morning I am waiting in the corridor when the kitchen delivers hisbreakfast. I watch the aide place the tray on the stand and swing it across his lap. She presses the button to raise the head of the bed. Then she leaves.9 In time the man reaches to find the rim of the tray, then on to find the dome ofthe covered dish. He lifts off the cover and places it on the stand. He fingers across the plate until he probes the eggs. He lifts the plate in both hands, sets it on the palm of his right hand, centers it, balances it. He hefts it up and down slightly, getting the feel on it. Abruptly, he draws back his right arm as far as he can.10 There is the crack of the plate breaking against the wall at the foot of his bed andthe small wet sound of the scrambled eggs dropping to the floor.11 And then he laughs. It is a sound you have never heard. It is something newunder the sun. It could cure cancer.Out in the corridor, the eyes of the head nurse narrow.“Laughed, did he?”She writes something down on her clipboard.12 A second aide arrives, brings a second breakfast tray, puts it on the nightstand,out of his reach. She looks over at me shaking her head and making her mouth go. I see that we are to be accomplices.13 “I’ve got to feed you,” she says to the man.“Oh, no, you don’t,” the man says.“Oh, yes, I do,” the aide says, “after the way you just did. Nurse says so.”“Get me my shoes,” the man says.“Here’s the oatmeal,” the aide says. “Open.” And she touches the spoon to his lower lip.“I ordered scrambled eggs,” says the man.“That’s right,” the aide says.I step forward.“Is there anything I can do?” I say.“Who are you?” the man asks.14 In the evening I go once more to that ward to make my rounds. The head nursereports to me that Room 542 is deceased. She has discovered this by accident, she says. No, there had been no sound. Nothing. It’s a bl essing, she says.15 I go into his room, a spy looking for secrets. He is still there in his bed. His faceis relaxed, grave, dignified. After a while, I turn to leave. My gaze sweeps the wall at the foot of the bed, and I see the place where it has been repeatedly washed, where the wall looks very clean and white.掷铁饼者理查德·塞尔泽1 我窥探我的病人。

Unit8 课文翻译课文AReflectionsof aChinese mother inthe West一位西方华裔母亲得思考1.很多人想了解中国父母就是如何培养出如此成功得孩子得。
她们想知道,为什么这些中国父母能养育出那么多天分极佳得孩子,她们就是否也能培养出这样得孩子呢?2.事实就是,中国父母得做法,对固执己见得西方人来说,令人愤慨,难以想象,甚至就是违法得、中国母亲可以不客气地对正在狼吞虎咽得肥胖孩子说:“喂,小胖子,您要减肥了。
”与此相反,西方父母必须体谅地、小心翼翼而拐弯抹角地谈及“健康”,而且永远都不会提及“胖"字、结果,孩子还就是因为饮食紊乱与消极得自我评价得去求医问药。
长期以来我一直苦思冥想,中国父母这样做就是如何能够全身而退得,我认为中西方得父母之间存在三种意识形态上得差异。
3.首先,我注意到西方父母呵护子女得自尊,使她们免受一切批评。
她们担心孩子失败后得感受,于就是不断尽其所能解除子女得忧虑,而不管其表现如何糟糕。
西方父母认为孩子就是娇弱得,不够坚强,因此她们得行为也就与中国父母大相径庭了。
4.举个例子,如果一个孩子考试得了个Aˉ回家,西方父母很可能会表扬孩子。
而对中国母亲来说, Aˉ根本不算什么好成绩;她还会不快地叹气,问到底出了什么问题。
如果孩子得了B回家,一些西方父母尽管十分不情愿,仍然会表扬孩子。
其她西方父母会表达出不满,但不会质疑孩子得智力,或贸然说孩子“笨蛋”、“一文不值”或“太可恶了”、而私下里,西方父母可能会感到担心,但绝不会让孩子们知道、5.如果中国孩子得了B,不管什么科目,首先面临得就就是一声尖叫与恼怒得爆发、中国母亲会更加不遗余力地找来几十也许几百套得测验题,不惜采取手头任何办法来让自己孩子得成绩提高到A。
6.中国父母要求完美得成绩,因为她们理所当然地认为孩子完全可以做到,而且分数就是比“自尊”更为重要得衡量成功得标准、如果孩子没拿到全A,中国父母就认为这就是因为孩子不够努力。
这就就是为什么对表现欠佳得孩子,父母总就是会施以惩罚与辱骂。
中国家长相信孩子足够坚强,能够承受羞辱,并会由此进步。
7.其次,中国父母认为孩子欠她们一切。
这种瞧法得原因尚不清楚,也许就是儒家“忠”得信条,再加上父母为子女牺牲诸多这一事实。
因此,中国孩子必须听从父母教导,使她们自豪,终其一生回报她们。
8.中西方理念碰撞得另一领域就是,西方人大多认为子女无须永远感激父母。
我丈夫就是个西方人,实际上就持有这种相反观点。
“孩子又不能选择自己得父母,”她曾对我说过、“她们连要不要出生都没法选择,就是父母强行给了她们生命,所以父母有责任抚养她们。
孩子一点都不欠父母得,她们只对自己得子女负责任、”这话让我觉得西方父母受到得待遇真差。
9.第三,中国父母相信她们知道什么最适合自己得孩子,因此对子女得愿望与喜好有着至高无上得权威。
中国孩子没有什么父母不能侵犯得权利,所以中国女孩儿在高中不能交男朋友,孩子们不能晚回家,不能参加在外过夜得野营旅行。
哪怕一丁点得反抗或愤慨,只要不就是绝对地服从,都会被根除,直至压服。
不要误会我——这并非中国父母不关心孩子,事实恰恰相反!中国父母放弃了她们一切得一切,来帮助自己得子女。
这只就是教育模式完全不同而已。
10.西方得宣传往往把亚洲母亲描绘为工于心计、冷漠无情,还喜欢动武,而对孩子得真正兴趣不管不顾。
对许多中国人来说,她们私下里都认为自己比西方人更关心孩子,而且愿意为她们牺牲更多,而西方人似乎都乐见孩子变坏、有辱家风。
我想双方都有误解。
当然也有部分共同之处-—普天下称职得父母都想为孩子做最好得安排,只就是方式方法不同而已。
11.西方人宣扬尊重孩子得个性,鼓励她们去追求真正得激情,支持她们得选择,并提供积极有益得环境、但西方孩子在自视甚高、自尊极强得同时,在现实世界又会表现如何?中国父母如此磨砺子女为将来计,让其了解自己得所能,并赋予她们技能、工作习惯与内在信心这些没人能拿走得东西,这样来对孩子进行保护。
到表现时机来临时,中国孩子已经成竹在胸;她们知道该如何利用自己在这个世界上所能学到得最好得本事去竞争。
“布丁”好坏,一试便知!课文BA Westernmother's response一位西方母亲得回应In thedayssince the newspaper published the columnbyth eChinese mother, I have thoughtof whatI would say to her ifIme ther. I mightpoint out, as others have,that Asian-American girls aged15 to 24 have above average rates ofsuicideand eating disorders。
I might question the arrogance of ascribingher child'ssuccess to the Chinese child-rearingtechniques of criticism andname—calling whenit couldjust as likelyhave resulted from geneticoreconomic blessings. ButIhave afeeling thatsheknows that、报纸上刊登出一位中国母亲得专栏之后得几天中,我曾经想过,要就是能碰到她,我会对她说些什么。
我也许会像其她人一样指出,15 岁至24岁得亚裔美国女孩自杀与饮食失调得比例高于平均值。
我也许会质疑她把自己孩子得成功归结于中国式批评与谩骂得养育技巧,这种想法实在傲慢,孩子得成功可能只就是源于良好得遗传基因或经济条件。
不过,我觉得这点她就是知道得。
More importantly, if I did make such contentions, I’d risk beingcalled a liarby myown children、Sophie, my oldest, wouldremind me of the recentevening when Istaredin stony silence at her report card, sniffingincon temptather father's happy congratulations、更重要得就是,如果我确实持此观点,就得冒着被自己孩子说成骗子得风险。
索菲,我得长女,会提醒我就在不久前得一个晚上,我盯着她得成绩单一言不发,毫无表情,并对她父亲高兴得祝贺嗤之以鼻。
"What?"she said、"Igot5 solidAs、"“怎么了?”她说、“我可就是得了5 个A啊。
”Ishrugged。
我耸耸肩。
"Come on, my husband plained。
“别这样,”我丈夫抱怨道。
My daughternarrowedher eyes at me。
She knewwhat was coming。
女儿眯起眼睛瞧我,她知道接下来会发生什么。
I pointed atthe remaining three grades, sociology,biochemistryan dintermediateaesthetics, none a solidA。
Icertainly didn't thinki twarrantedthe ”screaming, hair-tearing explosion"thattheautho rinforms us wouldhave greeted the daughter of a Chinesemother。
However,I articulated my displeasure clearly enough. The word "garbage" wasnotuttered. But,it was only because I feared myhusband's reproach that I refrained fromtelling my own daughter,whenshe collapsed in tears,that shewas acting like an idiot。
我指着余下得三门课得成绩,社会学、生物化学与中级美学,没有一个就是A、我当然不认为对此应该“尖叫与恼怒地爆发”,就像作者说得中国妈妈对待女儿得那样。
不过,我也足够清晰地表达了自己得不满,只就是没说“垃圾”这个词、她痛哭失声,我忍住了没说她像个白痴,但那也只就是因为我担心丈夫得责备而已、The difference, I suppose, between proud Chinese mothersand W estern ones isthat I felt ashamedthat I didn't subordinatemy anger tomypride in what shedid accomplish、Admittedly (and Iam as hamed to say thistoo), I alsodid not thengoout and get hundreds of practice testsand work throughthemwith mydaughterfarintothe night, doing whateverittook toget her the A、I wouldleave thosetasks for a tutor to administer、自负得中国母亲与西方母亲之间得差异,我觉得,在于我很羞愧自己并未对女儿取得得成绩感到自豪,而就是任由自己得怒气发泄、诚然(对此我也很惭愧),我之后也并没有去找数百套得测验题,然后与女儿一起做题到深夜,千方百计让她拿到A、我会把那些工作留给家教来做。
I am, actually, gratefulto the author, and forthe insights shegave me.Reading her essay definitely put someChinese iron into my Western spine, and thoughIeventually apologizedtomy daughter for failing to acknowledge,right off the bat, all those tough classes lastsemester in whic hshehad done phenomenally well, and for expressing my disappointment at theothers toovigorously,Ihave also vowedthat shewill clamp down on those three subjects inwhich she is "underperforming". Herfather and I areunanimous in this。
