U2 AA child's clutter awaits an adult's return儿时百宝箱老大归家梦I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, too expensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could. 我看着她在车道上倒着她的新卡车。
车太大,而且太贵。
她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。
我想,原因在我。
她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。
"I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"“我18 岁了,”她经常这样对我说,以至于听得我牙都疼了。
“我是成年人了!”I thought, is that true? Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?我心想,真的吗?昨天你还在看动画片呢。
今天和昨天又能有多大的变化?Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.今天她走了,远离我去寻求成年人的独立。

Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. 孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。
These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children's poetry. 像右边的这首童谣(A)至今仍然是常见的。
The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. 童谣的语言具体但富有想象力,这使得小孩子们快乐,因为它们押韵,节奏感强,并较多重复。

Unit 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As(因为)there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all ofmost important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as(正如) they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of (充满了) religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di BondoneThe Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less onreligious themes and life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Richtheir superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists topaint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that(相信) they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures.By coincidence(偶然), oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used intechnique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal(很多,表程度), from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to(导致) new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from(脱离) the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris. The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to (渴望做)show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style ofpainting and became very angry about (对…生气)it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as (作为…被接受) the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of(几十种) modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist.On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to(打算做) paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?西方艺术风格变化较大,而中国艺术风格变化较小。

When you are old and grey and full of sleep , And nodding by the fire, take down this book. And slowly read, and dream of the soft look , Your eyes had once, and of their shadow deep.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 我能否将你比作夏天?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 你比夏天更美丽温婉。 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May 狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 夏日的勾留何其短暂。 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 休恋那丽日当空, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd 转眼会云雾迷蒙。 And every fair from fair sometime declines 休叹那百花飘零,
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 她在美中徜徉,她在美中穿行 像深邃的苍穹缀满繁星,像皎洁的夜空万里 无云 明和暗多么协调,深与浅恰如其分; 白昼的光线过于炫耀,柔和的夜色最为温馨 One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. 美汇入她的举止,美溶进她的眼神; 美在乌黑的发际游弋,美在灿烂的脸上逡巡

另外一种学生容易写的简体诗是由五行组成 的,叫做五行诗。用五行诗,学生可以用少量 的词语传递一幅动人的画面。请看下一页上 端的D和E两个例子。
兄弟 爱美,又爱运动 爱闹,爱叫,又爱笑 是我的朋友 也是我的敌人
夏天 困乏,咸涩 干润,枯萎,恐怖 周而复始 永无止境
徘句诗(Haiku)是一种日本诗,由17个音节组成。它 不属英诗的传统形式,但是在用英语写作的人 们中 间,这种诗也是很流行的。它容易写,而且像五行诗 一样,它可以用最少的词语呈现出一幅清晰的画面, 表达出一种特殊的感情。下面两首徘句诗(右边的F 和G)就是从日文翻译出来的。 落下的花朵 回到了树枝上。 瞧啊,是个蝴蝶! 雪儿融化了, 整个村庄充满着 欢乐的儿童。
人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。有些诗是为 了叙事,或者说是描述某件事并给读者以强烈 的印象。而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情。 诗人用许多不同格式的诗来表达自己的情感。 本文只谈了几种格式比较简单的诗。
孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。像右边的 这首童谣(A)至今仍然是常见的。童谣的语言 具体但富 有想象力,这能使小孩子们快乐,因 为它们押韵,节奏感强,并较多重复。童谣不 一定有什么意义,甚至 (有的)看来自相矛盾, 但是它们容易学,也容易背诵。通过童谣中的 文字游戏,孩子们学习了语言。
我看到鱼塘在燃烧, 我看到房子向地主哈腰。 我看到人高一丈八, 我看到茅屋在天郊。 我看到汽球用铝做, 我看到棺材把死人抛。 我看到两只麻雀在赛跑, 我看到两匹马儿绣花包。 我看到姑娘像只猫, 我看到小猫戴花帽。 我看到有人在一旁瞄, 虽奇怪,但也把实情报。

We would have won ... if we'd been better!
小宝宝,别说话, 爸爸给你买个小嘲鸟。 小嘲鸟,不会唱, 爸爸给你买个钻石戒。 钻石戒,变成铜, 爸爸给你买个小镜子。 小镜子,打破了, 爸爸给你买个小山羊。 小山羊,跑掉了。 爸爸今天再去给你买一只。
• 像(B)和(C)这样的列举事物的清单诗是 诗歌中最简单的一种。清单诗可长可短, 可以重复一些 短语,较为灵活,形成固定 。
你知道吗?说英语的人也喜欢其他类型的亚 洲诗,尤其是中国的唐诗,许多唐诗已经被翻 译成英文了。下面这首唐诗(H)就是从中文 翻译过来的。
望夫石
王健 望夫处,江悠悠。 化为石,不回头。 山头日日风复雨, 行人归来石应语。
有了这么多可供选择的诗歌类型, 学生们最终也许想自己作诗了。写 诗比你想象的要容易,绝对值得一试。
我们的第一场球赛 我们本来会得冠….. . 如果杰克踢进了那个球, 如果我们还有几分钟, 如果我们训练得更严格, 如果本把球传给了乔, 如果有大批球迷助威, 如果我死死盯住球, 如果我们头晚不熬夜, 如果我们没有放松警惕, 如果我们没有精疲力竭, 我们本来是会得冠...... 如果我们能干得更好!

Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird. If that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring. If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass. If that looking-glass gets broke, Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat. If that billy-goat runs away, Papa's going to buy you another today.
I saw a fish-pond all on fire, I saw a house bow to a squire, I saw a person twelve-feet high, I saw a cottage in the sky, I saw a balloon made of lead, I saw a coffin drop down dead, I saw two sparrows run a race, I saw two horses making lace, I saw a girl just like a cat, I saw a kitten wear a hat, I saw a man who saw these too, And said though strange they all were true.
