第一课中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。
此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。
你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。
这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。
赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。
市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。
你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。
各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。
随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。
这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。
布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。
中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。
例如，在布市上，所有那 1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。
讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。
头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。
对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。

Lesson 1 Face to Face with Hurricane Camille迎战卡米尔号飓风约瑟夫.布兰克小约翰。
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。
他对儿子的意见表示赞同。
"我们是可以严加防卫。
度过难关的，"他说?"一但发现危险信号，我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。
" 为了对付这场飓风，几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。

The comprehension and appreciation of the words describing sound, colour, light, heat, size and smell.3. The appreciation of the words and expressions used for stress and exaggeration.4. Some useful expressions such as to make a point of, it is a point of honour…, and etcBackground informationThis text is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces (1962), which was intended for students preparing for the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency Examination, & for students in the top class of secondary schools or in the first year of a university course.The Middle Eastern BazaarThe Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds --- even thousands --- of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic - arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, darkcavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leavingthe bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold. The din of the stall-holder; crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you dizzy.Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, deadens the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit .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 price down.It is a point of honour with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment. If he does guess correctly, he will price the item high, and yield little in the bargaining. The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer. Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customer coming and going at intervals .One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ear. It grows louder and more distinct, until you round a corner and see a fairyland of dancing flashes, as the burnished copper catches the light of innumerable lamps and braziers . In each shop sit the apprentices –boys and youths, some of them incredibly young – hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the shop-owner instructs, and sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself. In the background, a tiny apprentice blows a bi-, charcoal fir e with a hugeleather bellows worked by a string attached to his big toe -- the red of the live coals glowing, bright and then dimming rhythmically to the strokes of the bellows.Here you can findbeautiful pots and bowlsengrave with delicate andintricate traditionaldesigns, or the simple,everyday kitchenwareused in this country,pleasing in form, butundecorated and strictlyfunctional. Elsewherethere is the carpet-market,with its profusion of richcolours, varied textures and regional designs -- some bold and simple, others unbelievably detailed and yet harmonious. Then there is the spice-market, with its pungent and exotic smells; and thefood-market, where you can buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner, or sit in a tiny restaurant with porters and apprentices and eat your humble bread and cheese. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters' market lie elsewhere in the maze of vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. Every here and there, a doorway gives a glimpse of a sunlit courtyard, perhaps before a mosque or a caravanserai , where camels lie disdainfully chewing their hay, while the great bales of merchandise they have carried hundreds of miles across the desert lie beside them.Perhaps the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar, apart from its general atmosphere, is the place where they make linseed oil. It is a vast, sombre cavern of a room, some thirty feet high and sixty feet square, and so thick with the dust of centuries that the mudbrick walls and vaulted roof are only dimly visible. In this cavern are three massive stone wheels, each with a huge pole through its centre as an axle. The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel. This revolves in a circular stone channel, into which an attendant feeds linseed. The stone wheel crushes it to a pulp, which is then pressed to extract the oil .The camels are the largest and finest I have ever seen, and in superb condition –muscular, massive and stately.The pressing of the linseed pulp to extract the oil is done by a vast ramshackle apparatus of beams and ropes and pulleys which towers to the vaulted ceiling and dwarfs the camels and their stonewheels. The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders girders creak and groan , ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can. Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the camels.(from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation pieces, 1962 )NOTES1) This piece is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces, compiled for overseas students by L.

Unit One English and American Concepts of SpaceEdward T. Hall英国人和美国人的空间概念人们说英国人和美国人是被同一种语言分离开的两个伟大的民族。
英美民族之间的差异使得英语本身受到很多指责，然而，这些差异也许不应该过分归咎于语言，而应该更多的归因于其他层面上的交流：从使很多美国人感到做作的英式语音语调到以自我为中心的处理时间、空间和物品的不同方法。
如果说这世上有两种文化间的空间关系学的具体内容迥然不同，那就是在有教养(私立学校)的英国人和中产阶级的美国人之间了。
造成这种巨大差异的一个基本原因是在美国人们借助空间大小来对人或事加以分类，而在英国决定你身分的却是社会等级制度。
在美国，你的住址可以很好的暗示你的身分（这不仅适用于你的家庭住址，也适用于你的商业地址）。
住在纽波特和棕榈滩的人要比布鲁克林和迈阿密的人高贵时髦得多。
格林尼治和科德角与纽华克和迈阿密简直毫无类似之处。
座落在麦迪逊大道和花园大道的公司要比那些座落在第七大道和第八大道的公司更有情调。
街角办公室要比电梯旁或者长廊尽头的办公室更受尊敬。
而英国人是在社会等级制度下出生和成长的。
无论你在哪里看到他，他仍然是贵族，即便是在鱼贩摊位的柜台后面。
除了阶级差异，英国人和我们美国人在如何分配空间上也存在差异。
在美国长大的中产阶级美国人觉得自己有权拥有自己的房间，或者至少房间的一部分。
当我让我的美国研究对象画出自己理想的房间或办公室时，他们毫无例外的只画了自己的空间，而没有画其他人的地方。
当我要求他们画出他们现有的房间或办公室时，他们只画出他们共享房间里自己的那部分，然后在中间画一条分隔线。
无论是男性还是女性研究对象，都把厨房和主卧划归母亲或妻子的名下，而父亲的领地则是书房或休息室，如果有的话；要不然就是工场，地下室，或者有时仅仅是一张工作台或者是车库。
美国女性如果想独处，可以走进卧室、关上门。

高英第一课翻译
现在天真的黑了。我开始惭愧，是自己把他们拖得这么晚。我开始想上帝会怎么认为威斯特里。他当然也没有看见主，但现在正骄傲地坐在圣坛上，晃着灯笼裤的褪，露齿嘲笑我。周围围着一群跪着祈祷的老妇人。上帝并没有因为他亵渎神灵或在教堂里撒谎而惩罚他。所以我决定也许为了省去更多的麻烦，我最好也撒谎，说耶稣已经来了，然后站起来，得到救赎。
但那天晚上我却哭了。那是我一生倒数第二次哭泣，因为我已经是个12岁的大男孩了。我独自一人躺在床上，哭泣不已。担心里德阿姨会听到，我把头埋在被子下面。她还是醒了，告诉我的叔叔说：“我哭是因为神圣的上帝进入了我的生命，因为我看见了耶稣。但是我哭的真正原因是我羞于告诉她我撒谎了，我骗了教堂里所有人。我没有看见耶稣，我也不再相信有一个耶稣，因为他没有来拯救我。
布道师祷告，富有节奏，非常精彩。呻吟、喊叫、寂寞的呼喊，还有地狱中令人恐怖的画面。然后他唱了一首赞美诗。诗中描述了99只羊都安逸的待在圈里，唯有一只被冷落在外。唱完后他说道：“难道你不来吗？不来到耶稣身旁吗？小羊羔们，难道你们不来吗？”他向坐在祷告席上的小忏悔者们打开了双臂，小女孩们开始哭了，她们中有一些很快跳了起来，跑了过去。我们大多数仍然坐在那里。
在我快13岁那年，我的灵魂得到了拯救，然而并不是真正意义上的救赎。事情是这样的。那时我的阿姨里德所在的教堂正在举行一场盛大的宗教复兴晚会。数个星期以来每个夜晚，人们在那里讲道，唱诵，祈祷。连一些罪孽深重的人都获得了耶稣的救赎，教堂的成员一下子增多了。就在复兴晚会结束之前，他们为孩子们举行了一次特殊的集会——把小羊羔带回羊圈。里德阿姨数日之前就开始和我提这件事。那天晚上，我和其他还没有得到主宽恕的小忏悔者们被送去坐在教堂前排,那是为祷告的人安排的座椅。

课文翻译(Translation of the text)第一课超级摇滚巨星——关于我们自己和我们的社会，他们告诉我们些什么？摇滚乐是青少年反叛的音乐。
一—摇滚乐评论家约翰·罗克韦尔由其崇拜的人即可知其人。
——小说家罗伯特·佩恩·沃伦1972年6月中旬的一天，芝加哥圆形露天剧场里观众如潮，群情激昂，狂摇猛摆。
台上，滚石乐队的米克·贾格尔正在演唱“午夜漫步人”。
演唱结束时评论家唐·赫克曼在现场。
他说：“贾格尔抓起一个装有半加伦水的罐子沿着舞台前沿跑动，把里面的水往前几排狂热的听众身上洒。
他们蜂拥地跟随他，热切地希望能淋上几滴这洗礼的圣水。
”1973年12月下旬的一天，大约一万四千名尖声叫喊的歌迷在华盛顿市外的首都中心剧场嘈杂地涌向台前。
美国的恐怖歌星艾利斯·库珀正要结束自己表演。
他借助断头台假装结束自己生命来结束表演。
他的“头”落人一个草篮中。
“啊！”一个穿黑衣服的女孩惊呼道，“啊，太了不起了！”十四岁的迈克·玻利也在场，但他的父母并不在。
“他们觉得他令人恶心，”迈克说，“他们对我说，‘你怎么能忍受那种东西？’”1974年1月下旬的一天，在纽约州尤宁代尔的拿骚体育馆里，鲍勃·狄伦和乐队正在为音乐会上用的乐器调音。
场外瓢泼大雨中，摇滚乐迷克利斯·辛格正等着入场。
“这是朝圣，”克利斯说，“我应该跪着爬进去。
”你是如何看待所有这些溢美之词与英雄崇拜？当米克·贾格尔迷们把他视为至高的神父或神明时，你是赞成他们还是反对他们？你和克利斯·辛格一样对鲍勃·狄伦怀有几乎是宗教般的崇敬吗？你认为他或狄伦步入歧途了吗？你是否嫌艾利斯·库珀表演恶心而不接受他？还是你莫名其妙地被这个怪异的小丑吸引，因为他表现了你最疯狂的幻想？这并非是些随便问问的问题。
有些社会学家认为，你对这些问题的回答，很能说明你在想些什么，社会在想些什么。

高级英语第一册(修订本)第课Lesson The Loons原文与翻译
The LoonsMargarel Laurence1、Just below Manawaka, where the Wachakwa River ran brown and noisy over the pebbles , the scrub oak and grey-green willow and chokecherry bushes grew in a dense thicket 、In a clearing at the centre of the thicket stood the Tonnerre family's shack、The basis at this dwelling was a small square cabin made of poplar poles and chinked with mud, which had been built by Jules Tonnerre some fifty years before, when he came back from Batoche with a bullet in his thigh, the year that Riel was hung and the voices of the Metis entered their long silence、Jules had only intended to stay the winter in the Wachakwa Valley, but the family was still there in the thirties, when I was a child、As the Tonnerres had increased, their settlement had been added to, until the clearing at the foot of the town hill was a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded car types, ramshackle chicken coops , tangled strands of barbed wire and rusty tin cans、2、The Tonnerres were French half breeds, and among themselves they spoke a patois that was neither Cree nor French、Their English was broken and full of obscenities、They did not belong among the Cree of the Galloping Mountain reservation, further north, and they did not belong among the Scots-Irish and Ukrainians of Manawaka, either、They were, as my Grandmother MacLeod would have put it, neither flesh, fowl, nor good salt herring 、When their men were not working at odd jobs or as section hands onthe C、P、R、they lived on relief、In the summers, one of the Tonnerre youngsters, with a face that seemed totally unfamiliar with laughter, would knock at the doors of the town's brick houses and offer for sale a lard -pail full of bruised wild strawberries, and if he got as much as a quarter he would grab the coin and run before the customer had time to change her mind、Sometimes old Jules, or his son Lazarus, would get mixed up in a Saturday-night brawl , and would hit out at whoever was nearest or howl drunkenly among the offended shoppers on Main Street, and then the Mountie would put them for the night in the barred cell underneath the Court House, and the next morning they would be quiet again、3、Piquette Tonnerre, the daughter of Lazarus, was in my class at school、She was older than I, but she had failed several grades, perhaps because her attendance had always been sporadic and her interest in schoolwork negligible 、Part of the reason she had missed a lot of school was that she had had tuberculosis of the bone, and had once spent many months in hospital、I knew this because my father was the doctor who had looked after her、Her sickness was almost the only thing I knew about her, however、Otherwise, she existed for me only as a vaguely embarrassing presence, with her hoarse voice and her clumsy limping walk and her grimy cotton dresses that were always miles too long、I was neither friendly nor unfriendly towards her、She dwelt and moved somewhere within my scope of vision, but I did not actually notice her very much until that peculiar summer when I was eleven、4、"I don't know what to do about that kid、" my father said at dinner one evening、"Piquette Tonnerre, I mean、The damn bone's flared up again、I've had her in hospital for quite a while now, and it's under control all right, but I hate like the dickens to send her home again、"5、"Couldn't you explain to her mother that she has to rest a lot?" my mother said、6、"The mother's not there" my father replied、"She took off a few years back、Can't say I blame her、Piquette cooks for them, and she says Lazarus would never do anything for himself as long as she's there、Anyway, I don't think she'd take much care of herself, once she got back、She's only thirteen, after all、Beth, I was thinking—What about taking her up to Diamond Lake with us this summer? A couple of months rest would give that bone a much better chance、"7、My mother looked stunned、8、"But Ewen -- what about Roddie and Vanessa?"9、"She's not contagious ," my father said、"And it would be pany for Vanessa、"10、"Oh dear," my mother said in distress, "I'll bet anything she has nits in her hair、"11、"For Pete's sake," my father said crossly, "do you think Matron would let her stay in the hospital for all this time like that? Don't be silly, Beth、"12、Grandmother MacLeod, her delicately featured face as rigid as a cameo , now brought her mauve -veined hands together as though she were about to begin prayer、13、"Ewen, if that half breed youngster es along to Diamond Lake, I'm not going," she announced、"I'll go to Morag's for the summer、"14、I had trouble in stifling my urge to laugh, for my mother brightened visibly and quickly tried to hide it、If it came to a choice between Grandmother MacLeod and Piquette, Piquette would win hands down, nits or not、15、"It might be quite nice for you, at that," she mused、"You haven't seen Morag for over a year, and you might enjoy being in the city for a while、Well, Ewen dear, you do what you think best、If you think it would do Piquette some good, then we' II be glad to have her, as long as she behaves herself、"16、So it happened that several weeks later, when we all piled into my father's old Nash, surrounded by suitcases and boxes of provisions and toys for my ten-month-old brother, Piquette was with us and Grandmother MacLeod, miraculously, was not、My father would only be staying at the cottage for a couple of weeks, for he had to get back to his practice, but the rest of us would stay at Diamond Lake until the end of August、17、Our cottage was not named, as many were, "Dew Drop Inn" or "Bide-a-Wee," or "Bonnie Doon”、The sign on the roadway bore in austere letters only our name, MacLeod、It was not a large cottage, but it was on the lakefront、You could look out the windows and see, through the filigree of the spruce trees, the water glistening greenly as the sun caught it、All around the cottage were ferns, and sharp-branched raspberrybushes, and moss that had grown over fallen tree trunks, If you looked carefully among the weeds and grass, you could find wild strawberry plants which were in white flower now and in another month would bear fruit, the fragrant globes hanging like miniaturescarlet lanterns on the thin hairy stems、The two grey squirrels were still there, gossiping at us from the tall spruce beside the cottage, and by the end of the summer they would again be tame enough to take pieces of crust from my hands、The broad mooseantlers that hung above the back door were a little more bleached and fissured after the winter, but otherwise everything was the same、I raced joyfully around my kingdom, greeting all the places I had not seen for a year、My brother, Roderick, who had not been born when we were here last summer, sat on the car rug in the sunshine and examined a brown spruce cone, meticulously turning it round and round in his small and curious hands、My mother and father toted the luggage from car to cottage, exclaiming over how well the place had wintered, no broken windows, thank goodness, no apparent damage from storm felled branches or snow、18、Only after I had finished looking around did I notice Piquette、She was sitting on the swing her lame leg held stiffly out, and her other foot scuffing the ground as she swung slowly back and forth、Her long hair hung black and straight around her shoulders, and her broad coarse-featured face bore no expression -- it was blank, as though she no longer dwelt within her own skull, as though she had gone elsewhere、I approached her very hesitantly、19、"Want to e and play?"20、Piquette looked at me with a sudden flash of scorn、21、"I ain't a kid," she said、22、Wounded, I stamped angrily away, swearing I would not speak to her for the rest of the summer、In the days that followed, however, Piquette began to interest me, and l began to want to interest her、My reasons did not appear bizarre to me、Unlikely as it may seem, I had only just realised that the Tonnerre family, whom I had always heard Called half breeds, were actually Indians, or as near as made no difference、My acquaintance with Indians was not expensive、I did not remember ever having seen a real Indian, and my new awareness that Piquette sprang from the people of Big Bear and Poundmaker, of Tecumseh, of the Iroquois who had eaten Father Brébeuf's heart--all this gave her an instant attraction in my eyes、I was devoted reader of Pauline Johnson at this age, and sometimes would orate aloud and in an exalted voice, WestWind, blow from your prairie nest, Blow from the mountains, blow from the west--and so on、It seemed to me that Piquette must be in some way a daughter of the forest, a kind of junior prophetess of the wilds, who might impart to me, if I took the right approach, some of the secrets which she undoubtedly knew --where the whippoorwill made her nest, how the coyote reared her young, or whatever it was that it said in Hiawatha、23、I set about gaining Piquette's trust、She was not allowed to go swimming, with her bad leg, but I managed to lure her down to the beach-- or rather, she came because there was nothing else to do、The water was always icy, for the lake was fed by springs, but I swam like a dog, thrashing my arms and legs around at such speed and with such an output of energy that I never grew cold、Finally, when I had enough, I came out and sat beside Piquette on the sand、When she saw me approaching, her hands squashed flat the sand castle she had been building, and she looked at me sullenly, without speaking、24、"Do you like this place?" I asked, after a while, intending to lead on from there into the question of forest lore 、25、Piquette shrugged、"It's okay、Good as anywhere、"26、"I love it, "1 said、"We e here every summer、"27、"So what?" Her voice was distant, and I glanced at her uncertainly, wondering what I could have said wrong、28、"Do you want to e for a walk?" I asked her、"We wouldn't need to go far、If you walk just around the point there, you e to a bay where great big reeds grow in the water, and all kinds of fish hang around there、Want to? e on、"29、She shook her head、30、"Your dad said I ain't supposed to do no more walking than I got to、"I tried another line、31、"I bet you know a lot about the woods and all that, eh?" I began respectfully、32、Piquette looked at me from her large dark unsmiling eyes、33、"I don't know what in hell you're talkin' about," she replied、"You nuts or somethin'? If you mean where my old man, and me, and all them live, you better shut up, by Jesus, you hear?"34、I was startled and my feelings were hurt, but I had a kind of dogged perseverance、I ignored her rebuff、35、"You know something, Piquette? There's loons here, on this lake、You can see their nests just up the shore there, behind those logs、At night, you can hear them even from the cottage, but it's better to listen from the beach、My dad says we should listen and try to remember how they sound, because in afew years when more cottages are built at Diamond Lake and more people e in, the loons will go away、"36、Piquette was picking up stones and snail shells and then dropping them again、37、"Who gives a good goddamn?" she said、38、It became increasingly obvious that, as an Indian, Piquette was a dead loss、That evening I went out by myself, scrambling through the bushes that overhung the steep path, my feet slipping on the fallen spruce needles that covered the ground、When I reached the shore, I walked along the firm damp sand to the small pier that my father had built, and sat down there、I heard someone else crashing through the undergrowth and the bracken, and for a moment I thought Piquette had changed her mind, but it turned out to be my father、He sat beside me on the pier and we waited, without speaking、38、At night the lake was like black glass with a streak of amber which was the path of the moon、All around, the spruce trees grew tall and close-set, branches blackly sharp against the sky, which was lightened by a cold flickering of stars、Then the loons began their calling、They rose like phantom birds from the nests on the shore, and flew out onto the dark still surface of the water、40、No one can ever describe that ululating sound, the crying of the loons, and no one who has heard it can ever forget it、Plaintive , and yet with a qualityof chilling mockery , those voices belonged to a world separated by aeon from our neat world of summer cottages and the lighted lamps of home、41、"They must have sounded just like that," my father remarked, "before any person ever set foot here、" Then he laughed、"You could say the same, of course, about sparrows or chipmunk, but somehow it only strikes you that way with the loons、"42、"I know," I said、43、Neither of us suspected that this would be the last time we would ever sit here together on the shore, listening、We stayed for perhaps half an hour, and then we went back to the cottage、My mother was reading beside the fireplace、Piquette was looking at the burning birch log, and not doing anything、44、"You should have e along," I said, although in fact I was glad she had not、45、"Not me", Piquette said、"You wouldn’ catch me walkin' way down there jus' for a bunch of squawkin' birds、"46、Piquette and I remained ill at ease with one another、felt I had somehow failed my father, but I did not know what was the matter, nor why she Would not or could not respond when I suggested exploring the woods or Playing house、I thought it was probably her slow and difficult walking that held her back、She stayed most of the time in the cottage with my mother, helping her with the dishes or with Roddie, but hardly ever talking、Then the Duncans arrived at their cottage, and I spent my days with Mavis, who was my best friend、I could not reach Piquette at all, and I soon lost interest in trying、But all that summer she remained as both a reproach and a mystery to me、47、That winter my father died of pneumonia, after less than a week's illness、For some time I saw nothing around me, being pletely immersed in my own pain and my mother's、When I looked outward once more, I scarcely noticed that Piquette Tonnerre was no longer at school、I do not remember seeing her at all until four years later, one Saturday night when Mavis and I were having Cokes in the Regal Café、The jukebox was booming like tuneful thunder, and beside it, leaning lightly on its chrome and its rainbow glass, wasa girl、48、Piquette must have been seventeen then, although she looked about twenty、I stared at her, astounded that anyone could have changed so much、Her face, so stolidand expressionless before, was animated now with a gaiety that was almost violent、She laughed and talked very loudly with the boys around her、Her lipstick was bright carmine, and her hair was cut Short and frizzily permed 、She had not been pretty as a child, and she was not pretty now, for her features were still heavy and blunt、But her dark and slightlyslanted eyes were beautiful, and her skin-tight skirt and orange sweater displayed to enviable advantage a soft and slender body、49、She saw me, and walked over、She teetered a little, but it was not due to her once-tubercular leg, for her limp was almost gone、50、"Hi, Vanessa," Her voice still had the same hoarseness 、"Long time no see, eh?"51、"Hi," I said "Where've you been keeping yourself, Piquette?"52、"Oh, I been around," she said、"I been away almost two years now、Been all over the place--Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon、Jesus, what I could tell you! I e back this summer, but I ain't stayin'、You kids go in to the dance?"53、"No," I said abruptly, for this was a sore point with me、I was fifteen, and thought I was old enough to go to the Saturday-night dances at the Flamingo、My mother, however, thought otherwise、54、"Y'oughta e," Piquette said、"I never miss one、It's just about the on'y thing in this jerkwater55、town that's any fun、Boy, you couldn' catch me stayin' here、I don' givea shit about this place、It stinks、"56、She sat down beside me, and I caught the harsh over-sweetness of her perfume、57、"Listen, you wanna know something, Vanessa?" she confided , her voice only slightly blurred、"Your dad was the only person in Manawaka that ever done anything good to me、"58、I nodded speechlessly、I was certain she was speaking the truth、I knew a little more than I had that summer at Diamond Lake, but I could not reach her now any more than I had then, I was ashamed, ashamed of my own timidity, the frightened tendency to look the other way、Yet I felt no real warmth towards her-- I only felt that I ought to, because of that distant summer and because my father had hoped she would be pany for me, or perhaps that I would be for her, but it had not happened that way、At this moment, meeting her again, I had to admit that she repelled and embarrassed me, and I could not help despising the self-pity in her voice、I wished she would go away、I did not want to see her did not know what to say to her、It seemed that we had nothing to say to one another、59、"I'll tell you something else," Piquette went on、"All the old bitches an' biddies in this town will sure be surprised、I'm gettin' married this fall -- my boy friend, he's an English fella, works in the stockyards in the city there, a very tall guy, got blond wavy hair、Gee, is he ever handsome、Got this real Hiroshima name、Alvin Gerald Cummings--some handle, eh? They call him Al、"60、For the merest instant, then I saw her、I really did see her, for the first and only time in all the years we had both lived in the same town、Her defiant face, momentarily, became unguarded and unmasked, and in her eyes there was a terrifying hope、61、"Gee, Piquette --" I burst out awkwardly, "that's swell、That's really wonderful、Congratulations—good luck--I hope you'll be happy--"62、As l mouthed the conventional phrases, I could only guess how great her need must have been, that she had been forced to seek the very things she so bitterly rejected、63、When I was eighteen, I left Manawaka and went away to college、At the end of my first year, I came back home for the summer、I spent the first few days in talking non-stop with my mother, as we exchanged all the news that somehow had not found its way into letters-- what had happened in my life and what had happened here in Manawaka while I was away、My mother searched her memory for events that concerned people I knew、64、"Did I ever write you about Piquette Tonnerre, Vanessa?" she asked one morning、65、"No, I don't think so," I replied、"Last I heard of her, she was going to marry some guy in the city、Is she still there?"66、My mother looked Hiroshima , and it was a moment before she spoke, as though she did not know how to express what she had to tell and wished she did not need to try、67、"She's dead," she said at last、Then, as I stared at her, "Oh, Vanessa, when it happened, I couldn't help thinking of her as she was that summer--so sullen and gauche and badly dressed、I couldn't help wondering if we could have done something more at that time--but what could we do? She used to be around in the cottage there with me all day, and honestly it was all I could do to get a word out of her、She didn't even talk to your father very much, althoughI think she liked him in her way、"68、"What happened?" I asked、69、"Either her husband left her, or she left him," my mother said、"I don't know which、Anyway, she came back here with two youngsters, both only babies--they must have been born very close together、She kept house, I guess, for Lazarus and her brothers, down in the valley there, in the old Tonnerre place、I used to see her on the street sometimes, but she never spoke to me、She'd put on an awful lot of weight, and she looked a mess, to tell you the truth, a real slattern , dressed any old how、She was up in court a couple of times--drunk and disorderly, of course、One Saturday night last winter, during the coldest weather, Piquette was alone in the shack with the children、The Tonnerres made home brew all the time, so I've heard, and Lazarus saidlater she'd been drinking most of the day when he and the boys went out that evening、They had an old woodstove there--you know the kind, with exposed pipes、The shack caught fire、Piquette didn't get out, and neither did the children、"70、I did not say anything、As so often with Piquette, there did not seem to be anything to say、There was a kind of silence around the image in my mind of the fire and the snow, and I wished I could put from my memory the look thatI had seen once in Piquette's eyes、71、I went up to Diamond Lake for a few days that summer, with Mavis and her family、The MacLeod cottage had been sold after my father's death, and I did not even go to look at it, not wanting to witness my long-ago kingdom possessed now by strangers、But one evening I went clown to the shore by myself、72、The small pier which my father had built was gone, and in its place there was a large and solid pier built by the government, for Galloping Mountain was now a national park, and Diamond Lake had been re-named Lake , for it was felt that an Indian name would have a greater appeal to tourists、The one store had bee several dozen, and the settlement had all the attributes of a flourishing resort--hotels, a dance-hall, cafes with neon signs, the penetrating odoursof potato chips and hot dogs、73、I sat on the government pier and looked out across the water、At night the lake at least was the same as it had always been, darkly shining and bearing within its black glass the streak of amber that was the path of the moon、There was no wind that evening, and everything was quiet all around me、It seemed too quiet, and then I realized that the loons were no longer here、I listened for some time, to make sure, but never once did I hear that long-drawn call, half mocking and half plaintive, spearing through the stillness across the lake、74、I did not know what had happened to the birds、Perhaps they had gone away to some far place of belonging、Perhaps they had been unable to find such a place, and had simply died out, having ceased to care any longer whether they lived or not、75、I remembered how Piquette had scorned to e along, when my father andI sat there and listened to the lake birds、It seemed to me now that in some unconscious and totally unrecognized way, Piquette might have been the only one, after all, who had heard the crying of the loons、第十二课潜水鸟玛格丽特劳伦斯马纳瓦卡山下有一条小河,叫瓦恰科瓦河,浑浊得河水沿着布满鹅卵石得河床哗哗地流淌着,河边谷地上长着无数得矮橡树、灰绿色柳树与野樱桃树,形成一片茂密得丛林。

第一课中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。
此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。
你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。
这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。
赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。
市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。
你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。
各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。
随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。
这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。
布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。
中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。
例如，在布市上，所有那1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。
讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。
头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。
对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。
假如让店主猜中了她所要买的商品的话，他便会漫天要价，而且在还价过程中也很难作出让步。
而在卖主那一方来说，他必须竭尽全力地声称，他开出的价钱使他根本无利可图，而他之所以愿意这样做完全是出于他本人对顾客的敬重。
顾客有时来了又去，去了又来，因此，像这样讨价还价的情形有可能持续一整天，甚至好几天。
集市上最引人注目、给人印象最深刻的地方之一是铜器市场。
你一走近这里，耳朵里便只听得见金属器皿互相碰击时所发出的一阵阵砰砰啪啪、丁丁当当的响声；走得越近，响声便越来越大，越来越清晰。
直待你走到拐角处一转弯，眼前便出现了锃亮的铜器，它们映照着无数盏明灯和火盆，流光飞舞，有如仙境。
每个铜匠铺子里都有几个徒工——他们都是一些男性青少年，其中有的年龄小得让人难以置信——在那里不停地锤打着一些形状各异、大小不一的铜器，而铺子的老板则在一旁指点着，有时也亲自操锤敲打几下。
铺子的后边，还有一个小不点儿的徒工在那里用一根拴在大脚趾上的绳子鼓动着一个巨大的皮风箱，煽着一大炉炭火——燃烧着的木炭随着风箱的鼓动而有节奏地变得忽明忽暗。
在这里，你会看到许多精美的锅碗瓢盆，上面雕刻着各种精细复杂的传统图案，也能看到一些当地人日常使用的质朴无华的厨房用具，虽无花纹图案，但造形美观，经济实用。
再走一处便是地毯市场。
这儿有各种质地的地毯，它们色彩斑炯，花纹图案富有地方特色——有的简单粗犷，有的精巧和谐得令人吃惊。
再往前走便是香料市场，这里充满各种浓烈的异香奇味；接下来是食品市场，在这里，你可以买到豪华酒宴上所需的任何山珍海味，也可以与徒工、脚夫一道坐进小饭馆里去吃那不能登大雅之堂的面包和奶酪。
集市里有棚顶的街巷纵横交错，有如一座迷宫，鳞次栉比地坐落其间的有印染市场、陶器市场和木器市场。
随便走到哪儿，你都有可能透过某个门洞瞥见一个洒满的庭院，那也许是个清真寺的院子，也许是个商旅客栈的院子。
在那儿，总会有几头骆驼旁若无人地卧着嚼草料，而在骆驼的身边则总是堆放着它们穿越沙漠，从几百英里以外的地方驮运而来的大捆大捆的货物。
除了其给予人的总体印象外，集市中最令人难忘的地方恐怕要算是榨亚麻籽油的作坊了。
那是一间约三十英尺高、六十英尺见方的屋子，空间阔大，但光线幽暗，犹如洞穴一般。
其拱形屋顶及四面的泥砖墙壁因厚厚地覆盖着数百年积下的灰尘而变得模糊难辨。
屋有三个大石磙，每个石磙上都有一根粗木杆从中心穿过，作为磙轴，磙轴的一端与一根立柱相连，使石磙可以绕立柱作旋转运动，另一端则套在一头蒙着眼罩的骆驼身上，通过骆驼不停地绕圈子走动来带动石磙旋转。
石磙沿着一个环形石槽作圆周运动，石槽旁边有一人专门负责往槽里装亚麻籽。
亚麻籽先由石磙碾成浆，然后再拿去榨油。
油坊的骆驼是我见过的骆驼中最大最好的，而且体格健壮无比——肌肉发达，身躯伟岸，气宇轩昂。
榨油工序是由一套摇摇欲坠的机械装置来完成的。
该装置由大梁、缆索和滑轮组合而成，犹如一座高塔耸立在屋中，上端直与拱形屋顶相接。
相形之下，油坊里的骆驼和石磙便显得矮小起来。
这套装置是由一个人操作的。
他先将亚麻籽浆铲入一只大石缸里，继而动作利索地爬上令人头晕目眩的高处系牢缆索，然后全身使劲压在一根用树干做成的粗大的横梁上，带动缆索的滑轮装置运转。
古木大梁压得嘎吱作响，缆索开始绷紧，接着便见一滴滴的油沿着一条石槽流入一只废旧汽油桶里。
随着大梁越压越低，缆索越绷越紧，大梁的嘎吱声，石磙的辘辘声，以及骆驼不时发出的咕噜咕噜的呼吸声和叹息声响成一片，榨出的油也很快地由涓滴细流变成了一股晶莹发亮、奔腾不止的洪流。
修辞tenor (subject): the concept, object, or person meant in a metaphorvehicle (reference): a medium through which something is expressed, achieved, or displayedSimile: A simile makes a comparison between two unlike things having at least one quality or characteristic in common. The two things compared must be dissimilar and the basis of resemblance is usually an abstract quality. The vehicle is almost always introduced by the word "like" or "as".Self-criticism is as necessary to us as air or water.The water lay grey and wrinkled like an elephant's skin.My very thoughts were like the ghostly rustle of dead leaves.The bus went as slowly as a snail.Her eyes were jet black, and her hair was like a waterfall.The comparison is purely imaginative, that is, the resemblance between the twounlike things in that one particular aspect exists only in our minds, and not in the nature of the things themselves.As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.Metaphor: A metaphor, like a simile, also makes a comparison between two unlike things, but the comparison is implied rather than stated. Some say it the substitution of one thing for another, or the identification of two things from different ranges of thought. Contrary to a simile in which the resemblance between two unlike things is clearly stated, in a metaphor nothing is mentioned. It is often loosely defined as "an implied comparison", " a simile without 'like' or 'as'".Metaphor is considered the most important and basic poetic figure and also the commonest the most beautiful.Snow clothes the ground.The town was stormed after a long siege.Boys and girls, tumbling in the streets and playing, were moving jewels.Metaphor:dark cavern, fairyland, maze, honeycomb, etcform a closely knit guild...Simile:a vast sombre cavern of a roomOnomatopoeia:creak, squeak, rumble, grunt, sigh, groan, etc.tinkling, banging, clashingPersonification:The Middle Easter bazaar takes you...dancing flashesT he beam sinks…taut and protestingHyperbole:takes you ...hundreds even thousands of yearsevery conceivable, innumerable lamps, incredibly young, with the dust of centuriesOnomatopoeia:creak:(to make) the sound of a badly-oiled door when it opensWhen you move in a wooden bed, it creaks.The hinge of the door needs oiling, it creaks every time it is opened.squeak:(to make) a short very high but not loud soundthe squeak of a mouserumble:(to make) a deep continuous rolling soundThe thunder / the big guns rumbled in the distance.I am hungry, my stomach is rumbling.grunt:(of certain animals, to make) short deep rough sounds in the throat, as if the nose were closed, such as the deep short sound characteristic of a hog, or a man making a similar sound expressing disagreement, boredom, irritationsigh:(to let out) a deep breath slowly and with a sound, usu. expressing tiredness, sadness, or satisfaction We all heaved a sigh of relief when the work was done.groan:(to make) a sound caused by the movement of wood or metal parts heavily loaded, (to make) a deep sound forced out by pain, or expressing despairThe patient groaned as he was lifted on to the stretcher.The ancient chair gave a groan when the fat woman sat down on it.The roof creaked and groaned under the weight of the snow.词汇(Vocabulary)Bazaar (n.) : (in Oriental
