Study the model given below. Then read the next two paragraphs and show how coherence and unity is improved by the use, of transitional devices.Model: But this is only one aspect of the problem. Another, no less essential, is the wider gap between generations since the rate of social development has speeded up. The tastes and habits of young people today differ markedly from those of the young people of the thirties, let alone of the twenties. Still influenced by the tastes and habits of their own youth, the "fathers" are inclined to think these habits and tastes are absolutes and to deny their children the right to independent creativity which they demanded from their own parents. Hence the artificial conflicts, in which a dance or the width of trousers is elevated to the dignity of crucial issues. The writer uses the following transitional devices:1) Transitional words and expressionsbut another still hence2) Pronoun referencethose their these they3) Repetition of important wordstastes and habits young people1. And since we (teenagers) are so new, many people have some very wrong ideas about us. For instance, the newspapers are always carrying advice-columns telling our mothers how to handle us, their "bewildered maladjusted offspring, " and the movies portray us as half-witted bops (hoodlums-ed. ); and in the current best sellers, authors recall their own confused, unhappy youth. On the other hand, speakers tell us that these teen-years are the happiest and freest of our lives, or hand us the "leaders of tomorrow, forge on the future" line. The general opinion is that teen-agers are either car-stealing, dope-taking delinquents, or immature, weepy adolescents with nothing on our minds but boys (or girls as the case may be ). Most adults have one or two attitudes toward the handling of teens--some say that only a sound beating will keep us in line; others treat us as mentally unbalanced creatures on the brink of insanity, who must be pampered and shielded at any cost.2. As of today, I am fed up with the food served in the campus dining hall. My disenchantment started in September---the day I bit into a hamburger to find myself staring at a long strand of grey hair that trailed out of the meat, through the mayonnaise, and over the edge of the bun. After that, I was not much surprised by the little things I came across in October and November: bugs in the salad and bobby pin in the meatloaf, for example. Then in December the food was worse--and a little dirtier. For Christmas dinner, for in- stance, the cook gave me a thin slice of rolled turkey, straight out of the can, and dished up a cock-roach in my pudding. Even that was excusable (nobody is perfect), but what happened today is not" I had already eaten most of my clam chowder before I found it, at the bottom of the bowl, nestled among the diced potatoes and the chopped onions: one band-aid, slightly used.XIII. Topics for oral work:1. In your opinion, what makes or spoils a good conversation?2. Is spoken English different from written English? In what ways are they different?XIV. Write a short composition describing some of the peculiarities of spoken EnglishPub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案Ⅰ .1. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists.Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. The writer seems to be in favor of bilingual education. He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7. The term "the Queen's English" was used in 1953 by Nash because at that time the reigning monarch was a queen, Elizabeth I. The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8.“The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.9.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.10.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.Ⅲ.1.The title of this piece is not well chosen.It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English.Whereas the writer.in reality,is just discoursing on what makes good conversation.The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English” to illustrate his point that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own.2.1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest,the saloons of 18th century Paris,and the words of many a man of letters.For a short expository essay like this,the allusions used are more than expected and desirable.3.Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph by means of which the writer passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it.But one feels the change from “pub talk” to “the King's English” a bit too abrupt.4.The simple idiomatic expressions like "to be on the rocks,out of bed on the wrong side,etc.”may be said to go well with the copious literary and historical allusions the writer used for an informal conversational style to Suit the theme of this essay in which the writer tries to defend informal uses of language.5.The writer’s attitude towards “the King’s English” shows that he is a defender of democracy.Ⅳ.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.V.See the translation of the text.Ⅵ·1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way”. It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.) 3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at:scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression),think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e.as if one were a Saxon peasant6 come into one’s own:receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition657.sit up at:(colloquial)become suddenly alert and take notice ofⅦ.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。

住在该镇那座豪华的黎赛留公寓度假的几位旅客组织了一次聚会,从他们所居的有利地位观赏飓风的壮观景象,结果像是有一个其大无比的拳头把公寓打得粉碎,26人因此丧生。
柯夏克家的屋顶一被掀走,约翰就高喊道:“快上楼一一到卧室里去!数数孩子。
”在倾盆大雨中,大人们围成一圈,让孩子们紧紧地挤在中间。
柯夏克老奶奶哀声切切地说道:“孩子们,咱们大家来唱支歌吧!”孩子们都吓呆了,根本没一点反应。
老奶奶独个儿唱了几句,然后她的声音就完全消失了。
客厅的壁炉和烟囱崩塌了下来。
弄得瓦砾横飞。
眼看他们栖身的那间卧室电有两面墙壁行将崩塌,约翰立即命令大伙:“进电视室去!”这是离开风头最远的一个房间。
约翰用手将妻子搂了一下。
詹妮丝心里明白了他的意思。
由于风雨和恐惧,她不住地发抖。
她一面拉过两个孩子紧贴在自己身边,一面默祷着:亲爱的上帝啊,赐给我力量,让我经受住必须经受的一切吧。
她心里怨恨这场飓风。
我们一定不会让它得胜。
柯夏克老爹心中窝着一团火,深为自己在飓风面前无能为力而感到懊丧。
也说不清为什么,他跑到一问卧室里去将一只杉木箱和一个双人床垫拖进了电视室。
就在这里,一面墙壁被风刮倒了,提灯也被吹灭。
另外又有一面墙壁在移动,在摇晃。
查理.希尔试图以身子撑住它,但结果墙还是朝他这边塌了下来,把他的背部也给砸伤了。
房子在颤动摇晃,已从地基上挪开了25英尺。
整个世界似乎都要分崩离析了。
“我们来把床垫竖起来!”约翰对父亲大声叫道。
“把它斜靠着挡挡风。
让孩子们躲到垫子下面去,我们可以用头和肩膀把垫子大一点的孩子趴在地板上,小一点的一层层地压在大的身上,大人们都弯下身子罩住他们。
地板倾斜了。
装着那一窝四只小猫的盒子从架上滑下来,一下子就在风中消失了。
斯普琪被从一个嵌板书柜顶上刮走而不见踪影了。
那只狗紧闭着双眼,缩成一团。
又一面墙壁倒塌了。
水拍打着倾斜的地板。
约翰抓住一扇还连在壁柜墙上的门,对他父亲大声叫道:“假若地板塌了,咱们就把孩子放到这块门板上面。

Man and hurricanes make up the conflict.5. The writer builds up and sustains the suspense in the story by describing in detail and vividly the incidents showing how the Koshaks and their friends struggled against each onslaught of the hurricane.6. The writer gives order and logical movement to the sequence of happenings by describing a series of actions in the order of their occurrence.7. The story reaches its climax in paragraph 27.8. I would have ended the story at the end of Paragraph 27,because the hurricane passed, the main characters survived, and the story could come to a natural end.9. Yes, it is. Because the writer states his theme or the purpose behind his story in the reflection of Grandmother Koshak: "We lost practically all our possessions, but the family came through it. When I think of that, I realize we lost nothing important.Ⅳ.1. We' re 23 feet above sea level.2. The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3.

Pub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案(部分)Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoiled.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. “The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.7.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.8.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo—French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.III.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase,the King’s English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.IV.A.1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side:be in a bad temper for the day3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at: scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor,think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e. as if one were a Saxon peasant6. come into one’s own: receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition7.sit up at:(colloquial) become suddenly alert and take notice ofB.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。

2. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. There is no winning in conversation.闲聊中常有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。
闲聊之中不存在输赢胜负。
3. Perhaps it is because of my upbringing in English pubs that I think bar conversation has a charm of its own.或许是由于我年轻时常常光顾英国小酒馆的缘故,我觉得酒馆里的闲聊别有一番韵味。
4. I do not remember what made one of our companions say it——she clearly had not come into the bar to say it, it was not something that was pressing on her mind ——but her remark fell quite naturally into the talk.我不记得是什么使我们的一个伙伴提起这个话题——她显然不是特意来酒吧说这事的,那也不是她非说不可的要紧事——但她十分自然地在聊天中说出了这句话。
5. There is always resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for “English as it should be spoken.”每当上流社会想给“规范英语”制定一些条条框框时,总会遭到来自下层人民的抵制。
6. Words are not themselves a reality, but only representations of it, and the King’s English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality.词语本身并不是现实,它不过是用以表达现实的一种形式而已。
标准英语就像诺曼人的盎格鲁式法语一样,也是一种对现实的阶级表达。
7. Perhaps it is worth trying to speak it, but it should not be laid down as an edict, and made immune to change from below.让人们学着去规范英语也许不错,但不应当把它作为一条必须执行的法令,也不应当使它完全拒绝来自下层的改变。
8. There is no worse conversationalist than the one who punctuates his words as he speaks as if he were writing, or even who tries to use words as if he were composing a piece of prose for print.要是有人闲聊时像写文章那样标点分明,或者像写一篇要发表的散文一样咬文嚼字的话,那他一定是个最糟糕的聊天者。
