UNIT1名望之尾1艺术家追求成名,如同狗自逐其尾,一旦追到手,除了继续追逐,不知道还能做些什么。
乐成之暴虐正在于它往往让那些追逐乐成者自寻废弃。
2对待一名正努力追求并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家,其亲朋往往会建议“严格的饭碗不能丢!”他们的忧愁不无道理。
追求高人一等,最达观的说也疾苦重重,许多人到末了不是穷困坎坷,也是几近元气破产。
尽管如此,希望博得追星族追捧和同行赞许之类的不太简单的简单的念头却在激发着他们前进。
享用乐成的无上名誉,这种迷惑不是能随便抵拒的。
3成名者之所以成名,大多是由于发挥了自己在唱歌、舞蹈、绘画或写作方面的擅长,并能造成自己的气魄。
为了能迅速走红,经纪人会戮力吹捧他们的这种气魄。
他们扶摇直上的经过让人看不清楚。
他们究竟是怎样乐成的,大多半人也都说不下去。
尽管如此,艺术家依然不能闲上去。
若献技者,画家或作家感到厌恶,他们的作品就难以继续维系以前的吸收力,也就难以维系民众的注意力。
民众的感情消磨以来,就回去追捧下一个走红的人。
有些艺术家为了不落伍,会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的气魄稍加蜕变,但这将冒极大的得宠的危险。
民众对待他们借以成名的艺术气魄以外的任何形式都将嗤之以鼻。
4知名作家的文风一眼就能看进去,如田纳西.威廉斯的笑剧、欧内斯特.海明威的情节安排、罗伯特弗罗斯特或T.S艾略特的诗歌等。
异样,像莫奈。
雷诺阿、达利这样的画家、希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。
他们明显特殊的艺术气魄标志着与他人不同的艺术形式上的重大改良,这让他们名利双收,但也让他们付出了代价,那就是?失了用其他气魄或形式呈现自我的自在。
5名望这盏聚光灯可比寒带丛林还要炙热。
骗局很快会被透露,过多的关怀带来的压力会让大多半人难以蒙受。
它让你?失自我。
你必需是民众认可的那个你,而不是真实的你,或是可能的你。
艺人,就像政客一样,必需往往说些愿意或连自己都不完全自负的话来取悦听众。
6一滴名望之水有可能玷污人得心灵这一整口井于是乎,一个艺术家若能维系真我,会格外让人赞叹你可能答不下去哪些人没有调和,却仍在这场名利的游戏中获胜。

Unit 1选词填空1 crumbled2 discern3 surpass4 shrewd5 conversion6 distort7 radiant8 ingenious9 stumped 10 propositionTranslation翻译The Doctrine of the Mean is the core of Confucianism. The so-called “mean” by Confucius doesn’t mean “compromise” but a “moderate” and “just-right” way when understanding and handling objective things. Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be treated as a way to understand and deal with things but also be integrated into one’s daily conduct to make it a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism but also an important component of traditional Chinese culture. From the time it came into being to the present, it has played an invaluable role in the construction of national spirit, the transmission of national wisdom, and the development of national culture.

More and more Chinese cultural elements provide inspiration for and become popular subjects of fashions, literature and movies around the world. This shows that the world needs Chinese culture. It was in this context that China decided to implement the “Culture Exporting” strategy so as to enhance her cultural exchanges with the rest of the world. After several years’ efforts, great achi evements have been made in this respect. “Culture Exporting” has greatly promoted the development of our cultural industries. It is becoming an effective approach through which China enhances her national image and comprehensive strength.内容来自百度文库.。

public’s favor.these people will grow bored so easily.even if you should succeed,you might not be happy.once you win in your conquest of fame,complaints will follow.for example,people will say that your work fails to show a lack of continuity in its appeal.you see,their enthusiasm will soon dissolve.i should also tell you that there will be plenty of people who will want to exploit you during your brief stay at the top.friends?sure,as long as you have miney you’ll have friends who will suck everything you have out of you.and don’t forget to watch your agent closely.you might need a good lawyer and an accountant,but they too will want their piece of the pie-making money out of you.I see,you understand the cruelty of the situation,however,your chase for fame can’t be discouraged by my pessi mistic outlook.go ahead then.don’t let me stop you.but when you fail or fall right back where you started and you’re miserable,don’t accuse me of not having warned you.i’ve done all that I can

featuring extraordinary comedy.in their movies,they found many ways of sending off funny actions,they attracted large audience and received a lot of applause.however,their movies also sparked criticism.some people who didin’t like the three stooges persisted they were too wiolent.in a tv interview moe and larry were roused to defend themselves.their coarse brand,they said,shouldn’t be taken seriously.it was just “cartoon violence”.The stooges got their name and their start in an act called ted healy and his stooges.this act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career.originally,the team was composed of ;arry,moe and shemp.however,shemp left for a career in more serious movies.when shemp left,curly took his place.shemp’s clumsy character returned in 1946 after curly suffered a stroke.Moe was the heart and soul of the team,acting as both their main comic force and their director.he was responsible for scripting many of the jokes.he’d also spend time providing his services as their business manager.in 1934 the team began a series of comedy shorts that numbered more than 200 when they ceased in 1958,which won them numerous fans.despite all the criticism,the three stooges are undoubtedly the most famous comdy team that history ever invented.3 The challenges faced by all child protection caseworkers are obvious.what is often not so obvious are the many rewards a caseworker career offers.people often ask why anybody in their right mind would want to be a child protection caseworker,habitually dealing with the most disadvantaged and troubled families in their community.caseworkers rountinely come across disturbing cases of child abuse and neglect,andclients who are not cooperative.being a caseworker means being an agent of positive change,especially when the welfare sector is not just a job to you,but a professional vocation.Child protection is a difficult and challenging career path to follow,but the rewards do exist.many of our caseworkers choose this career path out of a desire to contribute to the community.to be part of a process can ultimately change a family’s life,and caseworkers may witness their intervention equip a young person so that his or her future prospects are improved.of course,this does not occur with every intervention.but when it happens,it is a(n) rewarding experience.and if you are wondering whether this experience makes the job worthwhile,the answer is yes!A good indicator of how outside people look at the caseworker career has been the feedback from university students.in 2006 there were 118 students on placements of casewouker career.those students who completed their placements in child protection told us about the great opportunity they have had to apply theory to practice;the many chances of learning new skills and trying new tasks;the sound knowledge available through training;and how valuablr becoming familiar with different welfare services was to their future career.4We are living in the age of a telecommunications revolution.in order to keep from gerring left behind,many developing countries are making an intensive effort to strengthen their telecommunications infrastructure.this will help them catch up with the developed countries.it was,after all,advanced telecommunications that gave some countries an economic advantage over others during the 20th century.there isone place that developing nations are looking to improve upon.that is enabling their citizens and businesses to get approval to the web.they are installing advanced optical fibers.these fibers,a millimeter in diameter,can bring the information superhighway to their door.the initial investments that countries like Vietnam are making may seem too great because they still lack basic utilities,like electricity and water.however,government officials say that these moves are strategic.they are also confident that their countries will reap the benefits.they will benefit fromhaving more reliable and up-to-date telecommunications equipment and gaining more revenues.one Vietnamese leader said,”it is understandable that people want to tackle their immediate problems first.still.our entire future is at stake.people d on’t always understand the breadth of the problem,though.”he continued,”there are problems with using the antique communications equipment.and if we continue to use such old equipment,the gap between us and the developed world will continue to widen.sacrifices have to be made now so that our children will have a country with opportunities equal to those they see in the developed world.”it will not be far when they can cruise alongside Americans and western Europeans on the information superhighway.5 Have you ever experienced living alone by yourself?Sunlight disappears,awakening me to the fact that I am alone.i am a solitary observer on this isolated pond in the forest.here I sit alone as the last light of day fades sway.a lone wolf in the distance cries out.then darkness creeps in around me.i return to my small hut to put the kettle on the stove and sit in solitude with a hot cup of tea until I want to sleep.the fire insidethe stove is low,so I use the axe to split some wood and throw them in.it gets the fire going.i had made preparations to be here for the entire summer.however,after a month I am already lacking in supplies.i didn’t expect I would be tired of this experience so soon.in the cupboards there is nothing but noodles,and half apint of wine.i have become so sick of noodles.still,I have to force myself to choke them down.as I bring the teacup to my lips,o consider whether I should return to civilization to gather supplies or simply abandon my adventure.my observation is that self-reliance is a bit boring.i long to share a steak dinner with my friends,to watch my niece play in the summer’s heat.still my ego woll not let me return to my family and friends just yet.i had boasted to them about how being alone would bring about inspiration to writing poetry.the fact is that I have written nothing.6Bribery may lead to murder.a month ago reporters rushed to the scene of a crime.at the spot the detective seemed even hardly aware of their presence as he did his work.he carefully searched for clues over every inch of the house.after a while,he bent over to pick up a small torn piece of fabric.nothing could escape from his search,the detective suspected that this piece of fabric was torn from the murderer’s clothing during a struggle.The victim had been the finance director of a very large computer hardware manufacturer.his wife,a timid woman,snared everything she knew with the detective,including a hot quarrel her husband had with some of the company’s top executives at a banquet.there had been a scandal involving bribery at his company.he was investigating the business of many of the top executives.he had concluded that some people were giving special favors to government offocoals to get contracts.he often questioned their moral conscience and told them that he wouldaccuse them if they were doing something they shouldn’t,which caused problems for him.his questioning and accusing often left him at odds with many of the executives.this time it had led to a fatal blow on his head.the detective caught sight of a crucial clue,a brass button in the corner.it was from a jacket of one of the top/doc/c924757ba26925c52cc5bfa7.html ter this executive and the company’s president was arrested.of course this is not the end of the story.7 Many Native Americans closely resemble Asians. This has led most scientists to exceedingly believe something about Native Americans. They think that most Native Americans descend from a distant group of people. These people migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait, between 17,000-11,000 years ago. The exact time and route is still under question. That is, it is still a matter of debate. The time they traveled and the route they took is still being argued, as is whether it happened at all.Until recently, some anthropologists argued that the migration occurred 12,000 years ago. However, there are a number of difficulties with this theory-in particular, the presence of people in the Americas earlier than one might think. There is growing evidence of human presence in Brazil and Chile 11,500 years ago or earlier. There is also evidence of humans living in the Americas some 50,000 years ago. Therefore, other possibilities have been suggested.They may have crossed the land bridge several thousand years earlier or they may have sailed along the western coast. However, some contest this theory. They think that humans lacked skills for sailing during that era.Some consider the genetic and cultural evidence for an Asian origin overwhelming. It should be noted, however, that some other people ate very upset at this idea. Many present-day Native Americans reject the above theories. They say those who put forward such theories have political motivation. They have their own traditional stories that offer accounts of where they came from. Their own stories claim that their origins are different from what scientists say. Those accounts, though, have mostly been ignored by scholars. Therefore, the origin of Americans still remains a mystery to be explored.8 Unit8Hereis the story...1as 2marked 3as long as 4Despite 5(had beenfighting) 6 illegal 7vacant 8route 9taken 10aboard 11row 12where 13barked 14except 15remained 16Consequently 17defying 18incident 19sparked20focus1.这种植物。

新视野大学英语4课文复述加翻译Unit 1 The Tail of Fame.Fame, just as property, has attracted the attention of so many individuals, and they are so absorbed in it, that they aren't aware of the physical tiredness. Following fame provides people with faith as well as destruction. On the one hand, the desire to fame gives people the courage to make a full use of time, helps them live better. For instance, without the target for fame, Michael Jackson couldn't grow into a superstar. The desire to fame will always lead people to achieve their dreams. On the other hand, people can also be misled during following the fame. Many artists lose themselves in order to entertain the public. In the end, these tails will come to destruction even though they may manage to gain fame. On my perspective, it's not wrong to follow the fame, if only we can follow our heart. Only by doing in this way, can we not only get fame, but live better and happier.名誉,就像财产一样,吸引了许多人的注意,他们如此全神贯注于它,以至于他们没有意识到身体的疲劳。

新视野大学英语读写教程第四册课文翻译a他出生在伦敦南部的一个贫困地区。
他穿的短袜是从妈妈的红色长袜上剪下来的。
他的妈妈一度被诊断为精神失常。
狄更斯或许能创作出查理·卓别林的童年故事,但只有查理·卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪汉”,这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。
就卓别林而言,其他国家,如法国、意大利、西班牙,甚至日本,都比他的出生地给予了他更多的掌声(和更多的收益)。
在1913年,卓别林永久地离开了英国,与一些演员一起启程到美国进行舞台喜剧表演。
在那里,他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧片之王麦克·塞纳特的旗下工作。
令人遗憾的是,20世纪二、三十年代的很多英国人认为卓别林的“流浪汉”多少有点“粗俗”。
中产阶级当然这样认为。
劳动阶层反倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩:他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子,或用皮靴后跟对准权势者肥大的臀部踢一下。
尽管如此,卓别林的滑稽乞丐形象并不那么像英国人,甚至也不像劳动阶级的人。
英国流浪者并不留小胡子,也不穿肥大的裤子或燕尾服:欧洲的领导人和意大利的侍者才那样穿戴。
另外,“流浪汉”瞟着漂亮女孩的眼神也有些粗俗,被英国观众认为不太正派──只有外国人才那样,不是吗?而在卓别林大半的银幕生涯中,银幕上的他是不出声的,也就无从证明他是英国人。
事实上,当卓别林再也无法抵制有声电影,不得不为他的“流浪汉”寻找“合适的声音”时,他确实很头疼。
他尽可能地推迟那一天的到来:在 1936 的《摩登时代》里,他第一次在影片里发声唱歌。
在片中,他扮演一名侍者,满口胡言乱语,听起来不像任何国家的语言。
后来他说,他想象中的“流浪汉”是一位受过大学教育,但已经没落的绅士。
但假如他在早期那些短小的喜剧电影中能操一口受教育人的口音,那么他是否会闻名世界就难说了,而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。
没有人知道卓别林这么干是不是有意的,但这促使他获得了巨大的成功。
他是一个才能非凡的人,他的决心之大甚至在好莱坞明星中也十分少见。

1A An artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction."Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed.The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt.Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on.The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted.Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc.They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur.Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there.Artists cannot remain idle, though.When the performer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public.After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month.Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a significant risk of losing the audience's favor.The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famous.Famous authors' styles—a Tennessee Williams play or a plot by Ernest Hemingway or a poem by Robert Frost or T.S. Eliot—are easily recognizable.The same is true of painters like Monet, Renoir, or Dali and moviemakers like Hitchcock, Fellini, Spielberg, Chen Kaige or Zhang Yimou. Their distinct styles marked a significant change in form from others and gained them fame and fortune.However, they paid for it by giving up the freedom to express themselves with other styles or forms.Fame's spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle—a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure.It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be.The performer, like the politician, must often please his or her audiences by saying things he or she does not mean or fully believe.One drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man's soul, and so an artist who remains true to himself or herself is particularly amazing.You would be hard-pressed to underline many names of those who have not compromised and still succeeded in the fame game.An example, the famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde, known for his uncompromising behavior, both social and sexual, to which the public objected, paid heavily for remaining true to himself.The mother of a young man Oscar was intimate with accused him at a banquet in front of his friends and fans of sexually influencing her son. Extremely angered by her remarks, he sued the young man's mother, asserting that she had damaged his "good" name.He should have hired a better attorney, though.The judge did not second Wilde's call to have the woman pay for damaging his name, and instead fined Wilde.He ended up in jail after refusing to pay, and even worse, was permanently expelled from the wider circle of public favor.When things were at their worst, he found that no one was willing to risk his or her name in his defense.His price for remaining true to himself was to be left alone when he needed his fans the most.Curiously enough, it is those who fail that reap the greatest reward: freedom!They enjoy the freedom to express themselves in unique and original ways without fear of losing the support of fans.Failed artists may find comfort in knowing that many great artists never found fame until well after they had passed away or in knowing thatthey did not sell out.They may justify their failure by convincing themselves their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences.Single-minded artists who continue their quest for fame even after failure might also like to know that failure has motivated some famous people to work even harder to succeed.Thomas Wolfe, the American novelist, had his first novel Look Homeward, Angel rejected 39 times before it was finally published. Beethoven overcame his father, who did not believe that he had any potential as a musician, to become the greatest musician in the world. And Pestalozzi, the famous Swiss educator in the 19th century, failed at every job he ever had until he came upon the idea of teaching children and developing the fundamental theories to produce a new form of education.Thomas Edison was thrown out of school in the fourth grade, because he seemed to his teacher to be quite dull.Unfortunately for most people, however, failure is the end of their struggle, not the beginning.I say to those who desperately seek fame and fortune: good luck.But alas, you may find that it was not what you wanted.The dog who catches his tail discovers that it is only a tail.The person who achieves success often discovers that it does more harm than good.So instead of trying so hard to achieve success, try to be happy with who you are and what you do.Try to do work that you can be proud of.Maybe you won't be famous in your own lifetime, but you may create better art.1B One summer day my father sent me to buy some wire and fencing to put around our barn to pen up the bull.At 16, I liked nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our truck and driving into town on the old mill road.Water from the mill's wheel sprayed in the sunshine making a rainbow over the canal and I often stopped there on my way to bathe and cool off for a spell—natural air conditioning.The sun was so hot, I did not need a towel as I was dry by the time I climbed the clay banks and crossed the road ditch to the truck.Just before town, the road shot along the sea where I would collect seashells or gather seaweed beneath the giant crane unloading the ships. This trip was different, though.My father had told me I'd have to ask for credit at the store.It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism was still a fact of life.I'd seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while a storeowner enquired into whether they were "good for it".Many store clerks watched black youths with the assumption that they were thieves every time they even went into a grocery.My family was honest.We paid our debts.But just before harvest, all the money flowed out.There were no new deposits at the bank.Cash was short.At Davis Brothers' General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking to a middle-aged farmer.Buck was a tall, weathered man in a red hunting shirt and I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware section to get a container of nails, a coil of binding wire and fencing.I pulled my purchases up to the counter and placed the nails in the tray of the scale, saying carefully, "I need to put this on credit."My brow was moist with nervous sweat and I wiped it away with the back of my arm.The farmer gave me an amused, cynical look, but Buck's face didn't change."Sure," he said easily, reaching for his booklet where he kept records for credit.I gave a sigh of relief."Your daddy is always good for it."He turned to the farmer."This here is one of James Williams' sons.They broke the mold when they made that man."The farmer nodded in a neighborly way.I was filled with pride."James Williams' son."Those three words had opened a door to an adult's respect and trust.As I heaved the heavy freight into the bed of the truck, I did so with ease, feeling like a stronger man than the one that left the farm that morning.I had discovered that a good name could furnish a capital of good will of great value.Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much to do wrong.My great grandfather may have been sold as a slave at auction, but this was not an excuse to do wrong to others.Instead my father believed the only way to honor him was through hard work and respect for all men.We children—eight brothers and two sisters—could enjoy our good name, unearned, unless and until we did something to lose it.We had an interest in how one another behaved and our own actions as well, lest we destroy the name my father had created.Our good name was and still is the glue that holds our family tight together.The desire to honor my father's good name spurred me to become the first in our family to go to university.I worked my way through college as a porter at a four-star hotel. Eventually, that good name provided the initiative to start my own successful public relations firm in Washington, D.C.America needs to restore a sense of shame in its neighborhoods.Doing drugs, spending all your money at the liquor store, stealing, or getting a young woman pregnant with no intent to marry her should induce a deep sense of embarrassment.But it doesn't.Nearly one out of three births in America is to a single mother. Many of these children will grow up without the security and guidance they need to become honorable members of society.Once the social ties and mutual obligations of the family melt away, communities fall apart.While the population has increased only 40 percent since 1960, violent crime in America has increased a staggering 550 percent—and we've become exceedingly used to it. Teen drug use has also risen.In one North Carolina County, police arrested 73 students from 12 secondary schools for dealing drugs, some of them right in the classroom.Meanwhile, the small signs of civility and respect that hold up civilization are vanishing from schools, stores and streets.Phrases like "yes, ma'am", "no, sir", "thank you" and "please" get a yawn from kids today who are encouraged instead by cursing on television and in music.They simply shrug off the rewards of a good name.The good name passed on by my father and maintained to this day by my brothers and sisters and me is worth as much now as ever.Even today, when I stop into Buck Davis' shop or my hometown <49>barbershop</49> for a haircut, I am still greeted as James Williams' son.My family's good name did <50>pave</50> the way for me.2A He was born in a poor area of South London.He wore his mother's old red stockings cut down for ankle socks.His mother was temporarily declared mad.Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplin's childhood.But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of "the Tramp", the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame.Other countries—France, Italy, Spain, even Japan—have provided more applause (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of his birth.Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films.Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplin's Tramp a bit, well, "crude".Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear.All the same, Chaplin's comic beggar didn't seem all that English or even working-class.English tramps didn't sport tiny moustaches, huge pants or tail coats: European leaders and Italian waiters wore things like that.Then again, the Tramp's quick eye for a pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was considered, well, not quite nice by English audiences—that's how foreigners behaved, wasn't it?But for over half of his screen career, Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his British nationality.Indeed, it was a headache for Chaplin when he could no longer resist the talking movies and had to find "the right voice" for his Tramp.He postponed that day as long as possible: In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality.He later said he imagined the Tramp to be a college-educated gentleman who'd come down in the world.But if he'd been able to speak with an educated accent in those early short comedies, it's doubtful if he would have achieved world fame. And the English would have been sure to find it "odd". No one was certain whether Chaplin did it on purpose but this helped to bring about his huge success.He was an immensely talented man, determined to a degree unusual even in the ranks of Hollywood stars.His huge fame gave him the freedom—and, more importantly, the money—to be his own master.He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along."It can't be me. Is that possible? How extraordinary," is how he greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp on the screen.But that shock roused his imagination.Chaplin didn't have his jokes written into a script in advance; he was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along.Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make "contact" with himself as an artist.He turned them into other kinds of objects.Thus, a broken alarm clock in the movie The Pawnbroker became a "sick" patient undergoing surgery; boots were boiled in his film The Gold Rush and their soles eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts of fish (the nails being removed like fish bones).This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, is surely the secret of Chaplin's great comedy.He also had a deep need to be loved—and a corresponding fear of being betrayed.The two were hard to combine and sometimes—as in his early marriages—the collision between them resulted in disaster.Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations.The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl who'll be waiting to walk into the sunset with him; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for women.It's a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happiness it had earlier denied him.In Oona O'Neill Chaplin, he found a partner whose stability and affection spanned the 37 years age difference between them, which hadseemed so threatening, that when the official who was marrying them in 1942 turned to the beautiful girl of 17 who'd given notice of their wedding date, he said, "And where is the young man? "—Chaplin, then 54, had cautiously waited outside.As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well prepared for the battle that Chaplin's life became as many unfounded rumors surrounded them both—and, later on, she was the center of calm in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in his own large family of talented children.Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977.A few months later, a couple of almost comic body thieves stole his body from the family burial chamber and held it for money.The police recovered it with more efficiency than Mack Sennett's clumsy Keystone Cops would have done, but one can't help feeling Chaplin would have regarded this strange incident as a fitting memorial—his way of having the last laugh on a world to which he had given so many. 2B Modest and soft-spoken, Agatha Muthoni Mbogo, 24, is hardly the image of a revolutionary.Yet, six months ago, she did a most revolutionary thing: She ran for mayor of Embu, Kenya, and won.Ms. Mbogo's victory was even more surprising because she was voted in by her colleagues on the District Council, all men.For the thousands of women in this farming area two hours northeast of Nairobi, Ms. Mbogo suddenly became a symbol of the increasingly powerful political force women have become in Kenya and across Africa.Ms. Mbogo launched her dream of a career in politics in 1992 by running for the Embu Council, facing the obstacles that often trouble African women running for political office.She had little money.She had no political experience.She faced ridiculous questions about her personal life."My opponent kept insisting that I was going to get married to somebody in another town and move away," Ms. Mbogo said.Ms. Mbogo also faced misunderstanding among the town's women, many of whom initially were unwilling to vote for her.She became an ambassador for women's political rights, giving speeches before women's groups and going from door to door, handbag in hand, spending hours at a time giving a combination of speech and government lesson."I was delighted when she won the election, because men elected her," said Lydiah Kimani, an Embu farmer and political activist."It was the answer to my prayers because it seemed to be a victory over this idea that 'women can't lead'."Education of African women has become a top priority for political activists.One organization has held dozens of workshops in rural Kenya to help women understand the nation's constitution and the procedures and theory behind a democratic political system.One veteran female political activist said that many women had not been taught the basics of political participation.They are taught to vote for the one who "gives you a half kilo sack of flour, 200 grams of salt, or a loaf of bread" during the campaign, said the activist.Women politicians and activists say they are fighting deeply-held cultural traditions.Those traditions teach that African women cook, clean, take care of children, sow and harvest crops and support their husbands.They typically do not inherit land, divorce their husband, control their finances or hold political office.Yet, political activity among Kenyan women is not a new phenomenon.During the struggle for independence in the 1950s, Kenyan women often secretly provided troops with weapons and spied on the positions of colonial forces.But after independence, leaders jealous to protect their power shut them out of politics, a situation repeated across the continent.Today, men still have the upper hand.Women in Kenya make up 60 percent of the people who vote, but only 3 percent of the National Assembly.No Kenyan woman has ever held a cabinet post.Against that background, Agatha Mbogo began her political career.After winning her council seat, she declined a spot on the education and social services committee after a colleague called it "a woman's committee".She instead joined the town planning committee, a much more visible assignment.Then last year, she decided to challenge Embu's mayor, a veteran politician.Ms. Mbogo said she had become frustrated because the donor groups that provide substantial aid to Kenya's rural areas "did not want to come here"."We weren't seeing things done for the community," she said."It was a scandal—the donors' money seemed to be going to individuals."After a fierce campaign, the council elected her, 7 to 6.She said women in Embu celebrated.Men were puzzled; some were hostile.They asked, "How could all of those men vote for a woman? " she recalled.Ms. Mbogo has not met with the kinds of abuse that other female politicians have been subjected to, however.Some have said their supporters are sometimes attacked with clubs after rallies.Last June, Kenyan police attempted to break up a women's political meeting northwest of Nairobi, insisting it was illegal and might start a riot.When the 100 women, including a member of the National Assembly, refused to go, officers tore down their banners and beat them with clubs and fists, witnesses reported.In contrast, Ms. Mbogo generally receives warm greetings from the men of Embu, and many say they are now glad the council chose her.Donor groups are now funding projects in Embu in earnest.A new market is going up downtown.A 200-bed section for new mothers is being added to the hospital.A dormitory-style home has been built for the dozens of homeless street children who once wandered the city.Ms. Mbogo is especially proud of the market and the hospital because "they have an impact on women".At the current market, where hundreds of people, shaded by umbrellas, lay out fruits and vegetables, one person who sells lemons said she liked the new mayor."I feel like if I have a problem, I can go to her office," she said."The other mayor shouted. He acted like an emperor. He did not want to hear my problems."Nearby, a man said he found Ms. Mbogo a refreshing change."I'm tired of men," he said, watching over his pile of onions."They give us so many promises, but they don't deliver the goods. As long as she keeps giving us what we want, she is all right."3A A welfare client is supposed to cheat. Everybody expects it.Faced with sharing a dinner of raw pet food with the cat, many people in wheelchairs I know bleed the system for a few extra dollars.They tell the government that they are getting two hundred dollars less than their real pension so they can get a little extra welfare money. Or, they tell the caseworker that the landlord raised the rent by a hundred dollars.I have opted to live a life of complete honesty.So instead, I go out and drum up some business and draw cartoons.I even tell welfare how much I make!Oh, I'm tempted to get paid under the table.But even if I yielded to that temptation, big magazines are not going to get involved in some sticky situation.They keep my records, and that information goes right into the government's computer.Very high-profile.As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker.Deep down, caseworkers know that they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter.Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals.But after a few years in a system that practically requires people to lie, they become like the one I shall call "Suzanne", a detective in shorts.Not long after Christmas last year, Suzanne came to inspect my apartment and saw some new posters pasted on the wall."Where'd you get the money for those? " she wanted to know."Friends and family.""Well, you'd better have a receipt for it, by God. You have to report any donations or gifts."This was my cue to beg.Instead, I talked back."I got a cigarette from somebody on the street the other day. Do I have to report that? ""Well, I'm sorry, but I don't make the rules, Mr. Callahan."Suzanne tries to lecture me about repairs to my wheelchair, which is always breaking down because welfare won't spend money maintaining it properly."You know, Mr. Callahan, I've heard that you put a lot more miles on that wheelchair than average."Of course I do.I'm an active worker, not a vegetable.I live near downtown, so I can get around in a wheelchair.I wonder what she'd think if she suddenly broke her hip and had to crawl to work.Government cuts in welfare have resulted in hunger and suffering for a lot of people, not just me.But people with spinal cord injuries felt the cuts in a unique way: The government stopped taking care of our chairs.Each time mine broke down, lost a screw, needed a new roller bearing, the brake wouldn't work, etc., and I called Suzanne, I had to endure a little lecture.Finally, she'd say, "Well, if I can find time today, I'll call the medical worker."She was supposed to notify the medical worker, who would certify that there was a problem.Then the medical worker called the wheelchair repair companies to get the cheapest bid.Then the medical worker alerted the main welfare office at the state capital.They considered the matter for days while I lay in bed, unable to move.Finally, if I was lucky, they called back and approved the repair.When welfare learned I was making money on my cartoons, Suzanne started "visiting" every fortnight instead of every two months.She looked into every corner in search of unreported appliances, or maids, or a roast pig in the oven, or a new helicopter parked out back. She never found anything, but there was always a thick pile of forms to fill out at the end of each visit, accounting for every penny.There is no provision in the law for a gradual shift away from welfare.I am an independent businessman, slowly building up my market.It's impossible to jump off welfare and suddenly be making two thousand dollars a month. But I would love to be able to pay for some of my living and not have to go through an embarrassing situation every time I need a spare part for my wheelchair.There needs to be a lawyer who can act as a champion for the rights of welfare clients, because the system so easily lends itself to abuse by the welfare givers as well as by the clients.Welfare sent Suzanne to look around in my apartment the other day because the chemist said I was using a larger than usual amount of medical supplies.I was, indeed: The hole that has been surgically cut to drain urine had changed size and the connection to my urine bag was leaking.While she was taking notes, my phone rang and Suzanne answered it.The caller was a state senator, which scared Suzanne a little.Would I sit on the governor's committee and try to do something about the thousands of welfare clients who, like me, could earn part or all of their own livings if they were allowed to do so, one step at a time?Hell, yes, I would!Someday people like me will thrive under a new system that will encourage them, not seek to convict them of cheating.They will be free to develop their talents without guilt or fear—or just hold a good, steady job.3B It was late afternoon when the chairman of our Bangkok-based company gave me an assignment: I would leave the next day to accompany an important Chinese businessman to tourist sites in northern Thailand.Silently angry, I stared at my desk.The stacks of paper bore witness to a huge amount of work waiting to be done, even though I had been working seven days a week.How will I ever catch up? I wondered.After a one-hour flight the next morning, we spent the day visiting attractions along with hundreds of other tourists, most of them loaded with cameras and small gifts.I remember feeling annoyed at this dense collection of humanity.That evening my Chinese companion and I climbed into a chartered van to go to dinner and a show, one which I had attended many times before.While he chatted with other tourists, I exchanged polite conversation in the dark with a man seated in front of me, a Belgian who spoke fluent English.I wondered why he held his head motionless at an odd angle, as though he were in prayer.Then the truth struck me.He was blind.Behind me someone switched on a light, and I could see his thick silvery hair and strong, square jaw.His eyes seemed to contain a white mist."Could I please sit beside you at the dinner?" he asked."And I'd love it if you'd describe a little of what you see.""I'd be happy to," I replied.。

新视野大学英语课文翻译第四册Unit 1TextA艺术家追求成名,如同狗自逐其尾,一旦追到手,除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。
成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。
对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家,其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢!”他们的担心不无道理。
追求出人头地,最乐观地说也困难重重,许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒,也是几近精神崩溃。
尽管如此,希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。
享受成功的无上光荣,这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。
成名者之所以成名,大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长,并能形成自己的风格。
为了能迅速走红,代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。
他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。
他们究竟是怎么成功的,大多数人也都说不上来。
尽管如此,艺术家仍然不能闲下来。
若表演者、画家或作家感到无聊,他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力,也就难以保持公众的注意力。
公众的热情消磨以后,就会去追捧下一个走红的人。
有些艺术家为了不落伍,会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动,但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。
公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。
知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来,如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、欧内斯特·海明威的情节安排、罗伯特·弗罗斯特或T.S.艾略特的诗歌等。
同样,像莫奈、雷诺阿、达利这样的画家,希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。
他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革,这让他们名利双收,但也让他们付出了代价,那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。
名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。
骗局很快会被揭穿,过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。
它让你失去自我。
你必须是公众认可的那个你,而不是真实的你或是可能的你。
艺人,就像政客一样,必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众。
新视野大学英语4完形填空翻译及答案
Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right- brain or left- brain thinker?From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term mentioned numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to determine which type best describes you.Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the years, a theory that has gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are responsible for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively.People who rely more heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with artistic ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite opposite in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills.While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been distorted and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas canI help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually stumped in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions anddeveloping better organizational skills.你听过⼈人们说他们更更倾向于右脑或左脑思考者吗?从书籍到电视节⽬目,你可能听过⽆无数次提到这个词,或者你甚⾄至参加过在线测试,以确定哪种类型最适合你。

1:Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,”protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you; are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us. 你知道有著名的吗?如果是这样,您可能会发现它们非常相似,其余的人。

Doctrine of the Mean is the core content of Confucianism. Confucius's so-called "middle" does not mean "compromise", but refers to a "moderate" and "appropriate" method when recognizing and dealing with objective things. Confucius advocated not only to treat this kind of thinking as a way of understanding and handling things, but also to integrate it into one's daily behavior through self-cultivation and exercise, making it a virtue. The golden mean is the core of Confucianism and an important part of Chinese traditional culture. From its formation to the present, it has played an inestimable role in the construction of national spirit, the spread of national wisdom, and the development of national culture.Unit2莎士比亚(William Shakespeare)被广泛认为是英语界最伟大的作家,也是世界上杰出的戏剧家。

新视野大学英语4完形填空翻译及答案
Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right- brain or left- brain thinker?From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term mentioned numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to determine which type best describes you.Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the years, a theory that has gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are responsible for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively.People who rely more heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with artistic ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite opposite in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills.While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been distorted and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas canI help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually stumped in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions anddeveloping better organizational skills.你听过⼈人们说他们更更倾向于右脑或左脑思考者吗?从书籍到电视节⽬目,你可能听过⽆无数次提到这个词,或者你甚⾄至参加过在线测试,以确定哪种类型最适合你。

Unit1 P11Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,” protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.你了解名人吗?如果是这样,你可能发现他们与我们身边其余的人非常地相似。

Unit 1 P16"So you want to be a rock and roll star?" asked the musician, Bob Dylan. You have decided to seek fame's spotlight. And you will not be persuaded otherwise. What is it that lures you? Is it the worshiping fans? Or is it simply to be recognized for being truly fantastic at something? This is all quite understandable. I should warn you, though. It is difficult to sustain the public's favor. These people will grow bored so easily. Even if you should succeed, you might not be happy, once you win in your conquest of fame, complaints will follow. For example, people will say that your work fails to show a lack of continuity in its appeal. You see, their enthusiasm will soon dissolve. I should also tell you that there will be plenty of people who will want to exploit you during your brief stay at the top .Friends? Sure, as long as you have money you'll have friends who will suck everything you have out of you. And don't forget to watch your agent closely. You might need a good lawyer and an accountant, but they too will want their piece of the pie—making money out of you.I see you understand the cruelty of the situation. However, your chase for fame can't be discouraged by my pessimistic outlook. Go ahead then. Don't let me stop you. But when you fail of fall right back where you started and you're miserable, don't accuse me of not having warned you. I've done all that I can for you.“所以你要成为一个摇滚明星吗?”音乐家,鲍勃迪伦问。
你已经决定寻求名利的聚光灯。
你也不会被说服。
是什么诱惑了你?是崇拜着的粉丝吗?或者只是简单的想在一些事情上被认可为真正有趣,吸引人的?这都是可以理解的。
尽管如此,我还是应当警告你。
维持公众的欢心青睐是很难的。
这些人很容易厌倦。
即使你成功了,你可能不会满意。
一旦你赢得你对名声的征服,投诉也会随之而来。
例如,人们会说,你的作品未能显示出连续性的吸引力。
你看,他们的热情很快就会溶解。
我也应该告诉你,会有很多人会想利用你,在你短暂地停留在顶部的时候。
朋友吗?当然,只要你有钱,你就会有朋友,那些会吸干你的一切的朋友。
别忘了密切看好你的代理。
您可能需要一个好律师和会计,但他们也会想要分一杯羹——从你身上赚钱。
我知道你已经理解了这个残酷的现状。
然而,你对名利的追逐不能被我悲观的前景(描述)所劝阻。
继续吧,不要让我阻止你。
但当你失败了,落回原来你开始的地方,你痛苦的时候,不要指责我没有警告过你。
我已经给你我所有能给你的了。
Unit 2 P41It is doubtful that there was a more successful comedy team in the 20th century than the Three Stooges. Larry, Moe, and Curly became famous for their many short movies featuring extraordinary comedy. In their movies, they found many ways of showing off funny actions. They attracted large audience and received a lot of applause. However, their movies also sparked criticism. Some people who didn't like the Three Stooges claimed they were too violent. In a TV interview Moe and Larry were roused to defend themselves. Their coarse brand, they said, shouldn't be taken seriously. It was just "cartoon violence".The stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and His Stooges. This act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career. Originally the team was composed of Larry, Moe and Shemp. However, Shemp left for a career in more serious movies. When Shemp left, Curly took his place. Shemp's clumsy character returned in 1964 after Curly suffered a stroke.Moe was the heart and soul of the team, acting as both their main comic force and their director. He was responsible for scripting many of the jokes. He'd also spend time providing his services as their business manager. In 1934 the team began a series of comedy shorts that numbered more than 200 when they ceased in 1985, which won them numerous fans. Despite all the criticism, the Three Stooges are undoubtedly the most famous comedy team that history ever invented.值得怀疑,在20世纪,有没有比活宝三人组更成功的喜剧团队。
Larry,Moe和Curly 因他们特色鲜明的喜剧电影短片而成名。
在他们的电影里,他们发现了许多表现滑稽动作的方法。
他们吸引了大批观众,收到了许多的掌声。
然而,他们的电影也引发了批评。
有些不喜欢活宝三人组的人声称他们太暴力了。
在一个电视采访中,Moe和Larry跳出来为自己辩护。
他们粗糙的品牌(噱头),不该被太认真对待。
这只是“卡通暴力”。
活宝组的得名和起步是从一个叫Ted Healy and His Stooges的戏剧幕开始。
这个戏剧为他们不凡的生涯铺开了道路。
最初的团队是由Larry,Moe和Shemp组成。
然而Shemp离开了,去演更庄重严肃的电影去。
当Shemp离开后,Curly代替了他的位置。
Shemp笨拙的角色在1964年回归了,在Curly遭受了中风之后。
Moe是这个团队的核心与灵魂,作为他们的主要戏剧实力和导演。
他负责把许多笑话改成剧本。
他还是他们的业务经理(花时间在提供..服务上)。
1934年,他们开始了一系列的短篇喜剧,到1985年他们停止这个系列,喜剧短片数目超过了200,这为他们赢得了众多粉丝。
尽管有批评,活宝三人组无疑是史无前例(没发现过的)的最著名的喜剧团队。
Unit 3 P67The challenges faced by all child protection caseworkers are obvious. What is often not so obvious are the many rewards a caseworker career offers. People often ask why anybody in their right mind would want to be a child protection caseworker, habitually dealing with the most disadvantaged and troubled families in their community. Caseworkers routinely come across disturbing cases of child abuse and neglect, and clients who are not cooperative. Being a caseworker means being an agent of positive change, especially when the welfare sector is not just a job to you, but a professional vocation.Child protection is a difficult and challenging career path to follow, but the rewards do exist. Many of our caseworkers choose this career path out of a desire to contribute to the community. To be part of a process can ultimately change a family's life, and caseworkers may witness their intervention equip a young person so that his or her future prospects are improved. Of course, this does not occur with every intervention. But when it happens, it is a rewording experience. And if you are wondering whether this experience makes the job worthwhile, the answer is YES!A good indicator of how outside people look at the caseworker career has been the feedback from university students. In 2006 there were 118 students on placements of caseworker career. Those students who completed their placements in child protection told us about the great opportunity they have had to apply theory to practice: the many chances of learning new skills and trying new skills and trying new tasks; the sound knowledge available through training; and how valuable becoming familiar with different welfare services was to their future career.所有儿童保护社会工作者面临的挑战都是显而易见的。
