UNIT6What does it feel like to help dying patients through their final days? Experience it through the eyes of hospice nurse Jill Campbell, who does her job with grace, compassion, and gratitude.1.Outside, it's noisy on this busy block of row houses in Baltimore. But inside one tidy living room, all is quiet except for the sound of a woman's raspy breathing. The patient is huddled in an easy chair under a handmade pink-and-blue afghan, a knit cap on her head and booties on her feet. She has trouble staying warm these days. Her cancer has returned with a vengeance and she has only a few weeks to life. Hospice nurse Jill Campbell kneels down beside her patient, listens to her breathing, and then checks her blood pressure. Campbell has already hauled in oxygen tanks, showed family members how to work them, organized the medicine, and assessed how her patient has been eating and sleeping.2.But now is a moment to connect one-on-one. Campbell wraps her hands aro und the woman’s hands and rubs them together to warm them. She looks into her face. “are you feeling a little better?” she asks softly.3.Getting to know her patients and helping them through the toughest time of their lives is what Campbell, 43, appreciates most about being a hospice nurse. “I don’t know of another position where you can do more for people,” she says.4.Her patients have all been told that they have six months or less to live. Rather than continue with often-difficult or painful treatments that probably won’t extend their lives, they have decided to stop trying for a cure. Instead, with the help of hospice care, they’ll focus on comfort and on living whatever they have left of their lives to the fullest ---usually in their own home.5.Being able to die at home is a major part of the appeal of hospice, but patients and family members may not see it that way at first. “A lot of people still view hospice as giving up and letting the disease in,” says Campbell. That’s why the decision to c all in hospice care can be an incredibly difficult one for a family to make. Once they do, though, most patients and their families soon understand the value of having a team of dedicated professionals---including social workers, health aides, chaplains, and nurses---work together to provide not only physical but also emotional and spiritual support. 帮助即将离世的患者度过最后的时光会是怎样的感受呢？让我们借助吉尔·坎贝尔的所见经历这一切吧。

Unit6 Grant and Lee格兰特和李1865年4月9日，当尤利西兹·S·格兰特和罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿珀马特科斯县城一所不太大的房子的客厅里会面，商讨李所率的北弗吉尼亚军队投降条件时，美国人生活中一个伟大的篇章结束了，一个崭新的重要篇章开始了。
此二人是在实质上终止内战。
诚然，其他军队尚未投降，已失去主要支柱的逃亡的邦联政府仍将绝望地徒然挣扎数日，想法寻觅生机。
其实，在格兰特和李签署文件之时，一切都已结束。
他们拟定投降条件时用的那间小客厅成了见证美国史上强烈的戏剧性对照的场所。
这两位截然不同的将军都是强有力的人物，他们代表着两股相互冲突的力量的潮流，那两股潮流通过他们最终发生碰撞。
罗伯特·E·李所仰仗的信念是，古老的贵族观念或许能以某种方式继续存在下去，并左右美国人的生活。
李是弗吉尼亚州沿海低地人氏，他的生活背景是家庭、文化、传统……，是被移植到这个正在形成自身的传说与神话的新世界的骑士时代。
他体现了从骑士和英格兰乡绅时代流传下来的一种生活方式。
美国是个一切从头开始的国度，信奉的只不过是一种颇为模糊的信念，即人人拥有平等的权利，在世间应有平等的机会，如此而已。
在这样一个国度里，李代表着这样一种情感，即社会结构中保留一种明显的不平等多少有利于人类社会。
理应存在一个拥有土地的有闲阶级；反过来，社会本身应以土地为本，视其为财富与势力的主要来源。
（根据这一理想）这样一个社会会造就一个对社会有着强烈责任感的阶级，他们不是为自己获利活着，而是为了承担自己的特权所赋予的重大责任活着。
国家从他们中觅得领导人员；国家可依靠他们产生更加高尚的价值观念——思想方面的，行为方面的，个人风度方面的—以求国兴德盛。
李体现了这一贵族理想的最高尚的部分。
拥有土地的贵族通过他获得存在的理由。
四年间，南方各州拼死战斗，以捍卫李所代表的理想。
到后来，南部邦联似乎是为李而战；李本人似乎就是南部邦联……似乎是南部邦联所代表的生活方式能提供的菁华。

Even now almost everyone doesn't agree him more. No one could lead an ordinary life without friends. Otherwise, our life would be“boring”“dead", and even“out”. Especially in trouble, just like an old saying goes: a friend in need is a friend indeed. We need friends to pour out, communicate, help, support, and encourage. On the contrary, we also need friends to share our joys. But for some of us, it is not easy to make friend.有一句名言——没有人可以成为一座孤岛，这是约翰·唐恩写于三百多年前的关照。
即使现在，几乎每个人都不同意他。
没有朋友，没有人能过上平凡的生活。
否则，我们的生活会“无聊”“死亡”，甚至“出局”。

Unit 4 Unforgettable TeachersText A Take This Fish and Look at It1 It was more than fifteen years ago that I entered the laboratory of Professor Agassiz, and told him I had enrolled my name in the Scientific School as a student of natural history . He asked me a few questions about my object in coming, my antecedents generally, the mode in which I afterwards proposed to use the knowledge I might acquire, and, finally, whether I wished to study any special branch. To the latter I replied that while I wished to be well grounded in all departments of zoology, I purposed to devote myself especially to insects.2 "When do you wish to begin?" he asked.3 "Now," I replied.4 This seemed to please him, and with an energetic "Very well!" he reached from a shelfa huge jar of specimens in yellow alcohol. "Take this fish," he said, "and look at it; we call it a haemulon; by and by I will ask what you have seen."5 With that he left me, but in a moment returned with explicit instructions as to the care of the object entrusted to me.6 "No man is fit to be a naturalist," said he, "who does not know how to take care of specimens."7 I was to keep the fish before me in a tin tray, and occasionally moisten the surface with alcohol from the jar, always taking care to replace the stopper tightly. Those were not the days of ground-glass stoppers and elegantly shaped exhibition jars; all the old students will recall the huge neckless glass bottles with their leaky, wax-besmeared corks, half eaten by insects, and begrimed with cellar dust. Entomology was a cleaner science than ichthyology, but the example of the Professor, who had unhesitatingly plunged to the bottom of the jar to produce the fish, was infectious; and though this alcohol had a "very ancient and fishlike smell," I really dared not show any aversion within these sacred precincts, and treated the alcohol as though it were pure water. Still I was conscious of a passing feeling of disappointment, for gazing at a fish did not commend itself to an ardent entomologist. My friends at home, too, were annoyed when they discovered that no amount of eau-de-Cologne would drown the perfume which haunted me like a shadow.8 In ten minutes I had seen all that could be seen in that fish, and started in search of the Professor — who had, however, left the Museum; and when I returned, after lingering over some of the odd animals stored in the upper apartment, my specimen was dry all over. I dashed the fluid over the fish as if to resuscitate the beast from a fainting fit, and looked with anxiety for a return of the normal sloppy appearance. This little excitementover, nothing was to be done but to return to a steadfast gaze at my mute companion. Half an hour passed — an hour — another hour; the fish began to look loathsome. I turned it over and around; looked it in the face — ghastly; from behind, beneath, above, sideways, at three-quarters' view — just as ghastly. I was in despair; at an early hour I concluded that lunch was necessary; so, with infinite relief, the fish was carefully replaced in the jar, and for an hour I was free.9 On my return, I learned that Professor Agassiz had been at the Museum, but had gone, and would not return for several hours. My fellow-students were too busy to be disturbed by continued conversation. Slowly I drew forth that hideous fish, and with a feeling of desperation again looked at it. I might not use a magnifying-glass; instruments of all kinds were interdicted. My two hands, my two eyes, and the fish: it seemed a most limited field. I pushed my finger down its throat to feel how sharp the teeth were. I began to count the scales in the different rows, until I was convinced that was nonsense. At last a happy thought struck me — I would draw the fish; and with surprise I began to discover new features in the creature. Just then the Professor returned.10 "That is right," said he; "a pencil is one of the best of eyes. I am glad to notice, too, that you keep your specimen wet, and your bottle corked."11 With these encouraging words, he added: "Well, what is it like?"12 He listened attentively to my brief rehearsal of the structure of parts whose names were still unknown to me: the fringed gill-arches and movable operculum; the pores of the head, fleshy lips and lidless eyes; the lateral line, the spinous fins and forked tail; the compressed and arched body. When I finished, he waited as if expecting more, and then, with an air of disappointment:13 "You have not looked very carefully; why," he continued more earnestly, "you haven't even seen one of the most conspicuous features of the animal, which is plainly before your eyes as the fish itself; look again, look again!" and he left me to my misery.14 I was piqued; I was mortified. Still more of that wretched fish! But now I set myself to my task with a will, and discovered one new thing after another, until I saw how just the Professor's criticism had been. The afternoon passed quickly; and when, towards its close, the Professor inquired:15 "Do you see it yet?"16 "No," I replied, "I am certain I do not, but I see how little I saw before."17 "That is next best," said he, earnestly, "but I won't hear you now; put away your fish and go home; perhaps you will be ready with a better answer in the morning. I will examine you before you look at the fish."18 This was disconcerting. Not only must I think of my fish all night, studying, without the object before me, what this unknown but most visible feature might be; but also, without reviewing my discoveries, I must give an exact account of them the next day. I had a bad memory; so I walked home by Charles River in a distracted state, with my two perplexities.19 The cordial greeting from the Professor the next morning was reassuring; here was a man who seemed to be quite as anxious as I that I should see for myself what he saw.20 "Do you perhaps mean," I asked, "that the fish has symmetrical sides with paired organs?"21 His thoroughly pleased "Of course! Of course!" repaid the wakeful hours of the previous night. After he had discoursed most happily and enthusiastically — as he always did — upon the importance of this point, I ventured to ask what I should do next.22 "Oh, look at your fish!" he said, and left me again to my own devices. In a little more than an hour he returned, and heard my new catalogue.23 "That is good, that is good!" he repeated; "but that is not all; go on"; and so for three long days he placed that fish before my eyes, forbidding me to look at anything else, or to use any artificial aid. "Look, look, look," was his repeated injunction.24 This was the best entomological lesson I ever had — a lesson whose influence has extended to the details of every subsequent study; a legacy the Professor had left to me, as he has left it to so many others, of inestimable value which we could not buy, with which we cannot part.25 The fourth day, a second fish of the same group was placed beside the first, and I was bidden to point out the resemblances and differences between the two; another and another followed, until the entire family lay before me, and a whole legion of jars covered the table and surrounding shelves; the odor had become a pleasant perfume; and even now, the sight of an old, six-inch worm-eaten cork brings fragrant memories.26 The whole group of haemulons was thus brought in review; and, whether engaged upon the dissection of the internal organs, the preparation and examination of the bony framework, or the description of the various parts, Agassiz's training in the method of observing facts and their orderly arrangement was ever accompanied by the urgent exhortation not to be content with them.27 "Facts are stupid things," he would say, "until brought into connection with some general law."28 At the end of eight months, it was almost with reluctance that I left these friends and turned to insects; but what I had gained by this outside experience has been ofgreater value than years of later investigation in my favorite groups.把这条鱼拿去好好看看塞缪尔·斯卡德我是在15余年前进入阿加西兹教授的实验室的，告诉他我已在科学学院注册读博物学。

1在很多方面，美国人依然因循守旧。
在日新月异的时代，我们必须记住我们还在坚守多少过去的东西。
年轻人依然步入婚姻殿堂（去年有241万对男女结为夫妇，而在1960年仅有152万对）。
当然，其中有许多人离婚，然而他们又以惊人的速度再婚。
他们生儿育女，但比以前少多了。
他们是教会成员，尽管去教堂的次数比以前少，他们还要子女接受宗教方面的教育。
他们心甘情愿地为教育纳税，他们也为支助医院、博物馆和图书馆等机构慷慨解囊。
事实上，将今日的美国与1950年的相比，相似之处大大超过差异之处。
2美国人好像越来越保守。
1980年大选，尤其是参议院和众议院的选举，标志着选民的政治和社会态度明显右倾。
我们的国家在上个世纪六七十年代不遗余力地挣脱陈旧的束缚，似乎现在想要刹车了，就像谨小慎微的人在放纵自己以后常做的那样。
我们预计会看到对传统家庭价值观的重新首肯，对色情严加控制，回归宗教，以及摒弃某些社会法律条文。
3求爱和结婚的方式有了很大的变化。
说到性的问题，我是在猜疑、压抑和清教徒式的生活环境中长大的，虽然有些粗犷的孩子几乎在什么环境中都能活得不赖，但是我们这一代人中，大多数人活得真不容易。
对当今较为自由的模式，我鼓掌表示毫无保留地赞成。
但是，我相信对有些家庭来说，要适应这些变化绝非易事。
4美国妇女在改变这些规则。
30年前，我完全想象不到一群女性雇员会控告一家大公司，起诉公司因为歧视而少支付了她们数以百万美元的薪金。
我想象不到，女大学生会去找负责运动项目的男性，要求在体育教育的经费中公正地获得她们的一份。
然而，她们正在这么做，而且得到许多男士的支持，他们认识到这些女性诉求的公正性。
工作中，娱乐中，在生活的各个层次，女性在提出新的规则。
5美国在为学校忧心忡忡。
如果我现在有个孩子，那为了安全问题、为了执行纪律以及为了严格的学业要求，我宁愿将孩子送到私立学校。
但是，我怀疑的是，这个孩子接受的教育会不会有我当年在那所良好的公立学校里接受的教育那么好。

Grant and Lee: A study in ContrastsBruce CattonWhen Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee met in the parlor of a modest house at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on April 9, 1865, to work out the terms for the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, a great chapter in American life came to a close, and a great new chapter began.These men were bringing the Civil War to its virtual finish. To be sure, other armies had yet to surrender, and for a few days the fugitive Confederate government would struggle desperately and vainly, trying to find some way to go on living now that its chief support was gone. But in effect it was all over when Grant and Lee signed the papers. And the little room where they wrote out the terms was the scene of one of the poignant, dramatic contrasts in American history. They were two strong men, these oddly different generals, and they represented the strengths of two conflicting currents that, through them, had come into final collision.Back of Robert E. Lee was the notion that the old aristocratic concept might somehow survive and be dominant in American life.Lee was tidewater Virginia, and in his background were family, culture, and tradition. . . the age of chivalry transplanted to a New World which was making its own legends and its own myths. He embodied a way of life that had come down through the age of knighthood and the English country squire. America was a land that was beginning all over again, dedicated to nothing much more complicated than the rather hazy belief that all men had equal rights and should have an equal chance in the world. In such a land Lee stood for the feeling that it was somehow of advantage to human society to have a pronounced inequality in the social structure. There should be a leisure class, backed by ownership of land; in turn, society itself should be keyed to the land as the chief source of wealth and influence. It would bring forth (according to this ideal) a class of men with a strong sense of obligation to the community; men who lived not to gain advantage for themselves, but to meet the solemn obligations which had been laid on them by the very fact that they were privileged. From them the country would get its leadership; to them it could look for the higher values--of thought, of conduct, of personal deportment--to give it strength and virtue.Lee embodied the noblest elements of this aristocratic ideal. Through him, the landed nobility justified itself. For four years, the Southern states had fought a desperate war to uphold the ideals for which Lee stood. In the end, it almost seemed as if the Confederacy fought for Lee; as if he himself was the Confederacy . . . the best thing that the way of life for which the Confederacy stood could ever have to offer. He had passed into legend before Appomattox. Thousands of tired, underfed, poorly clothed Confederate soldiers, long since past the simple enthusiasm of the early days of the struggle, somehow considered Lee the symbol of everything for which they had been willing to die. But they could not quite put this feeling into words. If the Lost Cause, sanctified by so much heroism and so many deaths, had a living justification, its justification was General Lee.Grant, the son of a tanner on the Western frontier, was everything Lee was not. He had come up the hard way and embodied nothing in particular except the eternal toughness and sinewy fiberof the men who grew up beyond the mountains. He was one of a body of men who owed reverence and obeisance to no one, who were self-reliant to a fault, who cared hardly anything for the past but who had a sharp eye for the future.These frontier men were the precise opposites of the tidewater aristocrats. Back of them, in the great surge that had taken people over the Alleghenies and into the opening Western country, there was a deep, implicit dissatisfaction with a past that had settled into grooves. They stood for democracy, not from any reasoned conclusion about the proper ordering of human society, but simply because they had grown up in the middle of democracy and knew how it worked. Their society might have privileges, but they would be privileges each man had won for himself. Forms and patterns meant nothing. No man was born to anything, except perhaps to a chance to show how far he could rise. Life was competition.Yet along with this feeling had come a deep sense of belonging to a national community. The Westerner who developed a farm, opened a shop, or set up in business as a trader could hope to prosper only as his own community prospered--and his community ran from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada down to Mexico. If the land was settled, with towns and highways and accessible markets, he could better himself. He saw his fate in terms of the nation's own destiny. As its horizons expanded, so did his. He had, in other words, an acute dollars-and-cents stake in the continued growth and development of his country.And that, perhaps, is where the contrast between Grant and Lee becomes most striking. The Virginia aristocrat, inevitably, saw himself in relation to his own region. He lived in a static society which could endure almost anything except change. Instinctively, his first loyalty would go to the locality in which that society existed. He would fight to the limit of endurance to defend it, because in defending it he was defending everything that gave his own life its deepest meaning.The Westerner, on the other hand, would fight with an equal tenacity for the broader concept of society. He fought so because everything he lived by was tied to growth, expansion, and a constantly widening horizon. What he lived by would survive or fall with the nation itself He could not possibly stand by unmoved in the face of an attempt to destroy the Union. He would combat it with everything he had, because he could only see it as an effort to cut the ground out from under his feet.So Grant and Lee were in complete contrast, representing two diametrically opposed elements in American life. Grant was the modem man emerging; beyond him, ready to come on the stage, was the great age of steel and machinery, of crowded cities and a restless burgeoning vitality. Lee might have ridden down from the old age of chivalry, lance in hand, silken banner fluttering over his head. Each man was the perfect champion of his cause, drawing both his strengths and his weaknesses from the people he led.Yet it was not all contrast, after all. Different as they were--in background, in personality, in underlying aspiration--these two great soldiers had much in common. Under everything else, they were marvelous fighters. Furthermore, their fighting qualities were really very much alike. Each man had, to begin with, the great virtue of utter tenacity and fidelity. Grant fought his waydown the Mississippi Valley in spite of acute personal discouragement and profound military handicaps. Lee hung on in the trenches at Petersburg after hope itself had died. In each man there was an indomitable quality. . . . the born fighter's refusal to give up as long as he can still remain on his feet and lift his two fists.Daring and resourcefulness they had, too; the ability to think faster and move faster than the enemy. These were the qualities which gave Lee the dazzling campaigns of Second Manassas and Chancellorsville and won Vicksburg for Grant.Lastly, and perhaps greatest of all, there was the ability, at the end, to turn quickly from war topeace once the fighting was over. Out of the way these two men behaved at Appomattox carnethe possibility of a peace of reconciliation. It was a possibility not wholly realized, in the years tocome, but which did, in the end, help the two sections to become one nation again . . . after a war whose bitterness might have seemed to make such a reunion wholly impossible. No part of eitherman's life became him more than the part he played in this brief meeting in the McLean house atAppomattox. Their behavior there put all succeeding generations of Americans in their debt.Two great Americans, Grant and Lee--very different, yet under everything very much alike. Their encounter at Appomattox was one of the great moments of American history.。
Unit 4 Unforgettable Teachers全新版大学英语综合教程五课文翻译
Unit 4 Unforgettable TeachersText A Take This Fish and Look at It1 It was more than fifteen years ago that I entered the laboratory of Professor Agassiz, and told him I had enrolled my name in the Scientific School as a student of natural history . He asked me a few questions about my object in coming, my antecedents generally, the mode in which I afterwards proposed to use the knowledge I might acquire, and, finally, whether I wished to study any special branch. To the latter I replied that while I wished to be well grounded in all departments of zoology, I purposed to devote myself especially to insects.2 "When do you wish to begin?" he asked.3 "Now," I replied.4 This seemed to please him, and with an energetic "Very well!" he reached from a shelfa huge jar of specimens in yellow alcohol. "Take this fish," he said, "and look at it; we call it a haemulon; by and by I will ask what you have seen."5 With that he left me, but in a moment returned with explicit instructions as to the care of the object entrusted to me.6 "No man is fit to be a naturalist," said he, "who does not know how to take care of specimens."7 I was to keep the fish before me in a tin tray, and occasionally moisten the surface with alcohol from the jar, always taking care to replace the stopper tightly. Those were not the days of ground-glass stoppers and elegantly shaped exhibition jars; all the old students will recall the huge neckless glass bottles with their leaky, wax-besmeared corks, half eaten by insects, and begrimed with cellar dust. Entomology was a cleaner science than ichthyology, but the example of the Professor, who had unhesitatingly plunged to the bottom of the jar to produce the fish, was infectious; and though this alcohol had a "very ancient and fishlike smell," I really dared not show any aversion within these sacred precincts, and treated the alcohol as though it were pure water. Still I was conscious of a passing feeling of disappointment, for gazing at a fish did not commend itself to an ardent entomologist. My friends at home, too, were annoyed when they discovered that no amount of eau-de-Cologne would drown the perfume which haunted me like a shadow.8 In ten minutes I had seen all that could be seen in that fish, and started in search of the Professor — who had, however, left the Museum; and when I returned, after lingering over some of the odd animals stored in the upper apartment, my specimen was dry all over. I dashed the fluid over the fish as if to resuscitate the beast from a fainting fit, and looked with anxiety for a return of the normal sloppy appearance. This little excitementover, nothing was to be done but to return to a steadfast gaze at my mute companion. Half an hour passed —an hour —another hour; the fish began to look loathsome. I turned it over and around; looked it in the face — ghastly; from behind, beneath, above, sideways, at three-quarters' view — just as ghastly. I was in despair; at an early hour I concluded that lunch was necessary; so, with infinite relief, the fish was carefully replaced in the jar, and for an hour I was free.9 On my return, I learned that Professor Agassiz had been at the Museum, but had gone, and would not return for several hours. My fellow-students were too busy to be disturbed by continued conversation. Slowly I drew forth that hideous fish, and with a feeling of desperation again looked at it. I might not use a magnifying-glass; instruments of all kinds were interdicted. My two hands, my two eyes, and the fish: it seemed a most limited field. I pushed my finger down its throat to feel how sharp the teeth were. I began to count the scales in the different rows, until I was convinced that was nonsense. At last a happy thought struck me — I would draw the fish; and with surprise I began to discover new features in the creature. Just then the Professor returned.10 "That is right," said he; "a pencil is one of the best of eyes. I am glad to notice, too, that you keep your specimen wet, and your bottle corked."11 With these encouraging words, he added: "Well, what is it like?"12 He listened attentively to my brief rehearsal of the structure of parts whose names were still unknown to me: the fringed gill-arches and movable operculum; the pores of the head, fleshy lips and lidless eyes; the lateral line, the spinous fins and forked tail; the compressed and arched body. When I finished, he waited as if expecting more, and then, with an air of disappointment:13 "You have not looked very carefully; why," he continued more earnestly, "you haven't even seen one of the most conspicuous features of the animal, which is plainly before your eyes as the fish itself; look again, look again!" and he left me to my misery.14 I was piqued; I was mortified. Still more of that wretched fish! But now I set myself to my task with a will, and discovered one new thing after another, until I saw how just the Professor's criticism had been. The afternoon passed quickly; and when, towards its close, the Professor inquired:15 "Do you see it yet?"16 "No," I replied, "I am certain I do not, but I see how little I saw before."17 "That is next best," said he, earnestly, "but I won't hear you now; put away your fish and go home; perhaps you will be ready with a better answer in the morning. I will examine you before you look at the fish."18 This was disconcerting. Not only must I think of my fish all night, studying, without the object before me, what this unknown but most visible feature might be; but also, without reviewing my discoveries, I must give an exact account of them the next day. I had a bad memory; so I walked home by Charles River in a distracted state, with my two perplexities.19 The cordial greeting from the Professor the next morning was reassuring; here was a man who seemed to be quite as anxious as I that I should see for myself what he saw.20 "Do you perhaps mean," I asked, "that the fish has symmetrical sides with paired organs?"21 His thoroughly pleased "Of course! Of course!" repaid the wakeful hours of the previous night. After he had discoursed most happily and enthusiastically — as he always did — upon the importance of this point, I ventured to ask what I should do next.22 "Oh, look at your fish!" he said, and left me again to my own devices. In a little more than an hour he returned, and heard my new catalogue.23 "That is good, that is good!" he repeated; "but that is not all; go on"; and so for three long days he placed that fish before my eyes, forbidding me to look at anything else, or to use any artificial aid. "Look, look, look," was his repeated injunction.24 This was the best entomological lesson I ever had — a lesson whose influence has extended to the details of every subsequent study; a legacy the Professor had left to me, as he has left it to so many others, of inestimable value which we could not buy, with which we cannot part.25 The fourth day, a second fish of the same group was placed beside the first, and I was bidden to point out the resemblances and differences between the two; another and another followed, until the entire family lay before me, and a whole legion of jars covered the table and surrounding shelves; the odor had become a pleasant perfume; and even now, the sight of an old, six-inch worm-eaten cork brings fragrant memories.26 The whole group of haemulons was thus brought in review; and, whether engaged upon the dissection of the internal organs, the preparation and examination of the bony framework, or the description of the various parts, Agassiz's training in the method of observing facts and their orderly arrangement was ever accompanied by the urgent exhortation not to be content with them.27 "Facts are stupid things," he would say, "until brought into connection with some general law."28 At the end of eight months, it was almost with reluctance that I left these friends and turned to insects; but what I had gained by this outside experience has been ofgreater value than years of later investigation in my favorite groups.把这条鱼拿去好好看看塞缪尔·斯卡德我是在15余年前进入阿加西兹教授的实验室的，告诉他我已在科学学院注册读博物学。

1在很多方面，美国人依然因循守旧。
在日新月异的时代，我们必须记住我们还在坚守多少过去的东西。
年轻人依然步入婚姻殿堂（去年有241万对男女结为夫妇，而在1960年仅有152万对）。
当然，其中有许多人离婚，然而他们又以惊人的速度再婚。
他们生儿育女，但比以前少多了。
他们是教会成员，尽管去教堂的次数比以前少，他们还要子女接受宗教方面的教育。
他们心甘情愿地为教育纳税，他们也为支助医院、博物馆和图书馆等机构慷慨解囊。
事实上，将今日的美国与1950年的相比，相似之处大大超过差异之处。
2美国人好像越来越保守。
1980年大选，尤其是参议院和众议院的选举，标志着选民的政治和社会态度明显右倾。
我们的国家在上个世纪六七十年代不遗余力地挣脱陈旧的束缚，似乎现在想要刹车了，就像谨小慎微的人在放纵自己以后常做的那样。
我们预计会看到对传统家庭价值观的重新首肯，对色情严加控制，回归宗教，以及摒弃某些社会法律条文。
3求爱和结婚的方式有了很大的变化。
说到性的问题，我是在猜疑、压抑和清教徒式的生活环境中长大的，虽然有些粗犷的孩子几乎在什么环境中都能活得不赖，但是我们这一代人中，大多数人活得真不容易。
对当今较为自由的模式，我鼓掌表示毫无保留地赞成。
但是，我相信对有些家庭来说，要适应这些变化绝非易事。
4美国妇女在改变这些规则。
30年前，我完全想象不到一群女性雇员会控告一家大公司，起诉公司因为歧视而少支付了她们数以百万美元的薪金。
我想象不到，女大学生会去找负责运动项目的男性，要求在体育教育的经费中公正地获得她们的一份。
然而，她们正在这么做，而且得到许多男士的支持，他们认识到这些女性诉求的公正性。
工作中，娱乐中，在生活的各个层次，女性在提出新的规则。
5美国在为学校忧心忡忡。
如果我现在有个孩子，那为了安全问题、为了执行纪律以及为了严格的学业要求，我宁愿将孩子送到私立学校。
但是，我怀疑的是，这个孩子接受的教育会不会有我当年在那所良好的公立学校里接受的教育那么好。
问题是，良好的公立学校少得可怜。
因此，我不想冒险把孩子送进不够格的学校去。
6有些美国人必须靠吃救济为生。
显而易见，既然我们的国家只需要在可供劳动力的一部分就能生产出所有的必需品，那么对那些找不到工作的人必须要发放某种形式的社会救助。
一想到典型的接受救济的对象，我就想起一个邻居，一位年轻女子，她丈夫在车祸中惨死，给她留下三个小孩。
在早年的困难时期，她完全可能尝到贫困的滋味。
但是，凭着家庭救助，她能够供养自己的孩子，把他们培养成三个纳税的良好公民。
我喜爱这种社会救助，并且乐意助上一臂之力。
归根到底，美国是个富有同情心的社会。
7美国无法为年轻家庭提供住房。
我认为这是美国家庭生活面临着的最为严重的问题，令我十分吃惊的是，国家竟然任由这种情况发展。
十多年来，像我这样周游世界的人，很清楚在瑞典、丹麦、俄罗斯和印度这样的国家里，年轻人几乎不可能得到房屋。
在瑞典，常常要在婚后等待十一个年头，我曾经问过：“什么出错了？”在我们看来，任何国家主要的责任就是为年轻人提供住房，让他们成家。
然而，这个可怕的社会顽疾现在已降临到美国，而且出于同样的原因。
在我们的社会里，开发商觉得建筑有三个浴室的住房，售价为220,000美元，再加上19%的按揭，有利可图，但却发现几乎无法为年轻夫妇建筑小面积的住房。
一个大国没有能力为年轻人提供住房就等于承认一个必须加以纠正的失误。
8我们的前景仍然一片大好。
我发现，与其他任何国家相比，我们的机会至少不相上下，甚至更好。
我们有一大块完整的疆土，有世界上最强的农业，有丰富的矿藏，有用以灌溉的宽广的河流，还有无与伦比的运输交通系统。
我们还有来自四大洲的各色人种，完美地结合在一起，各自拥有自己的传统和优势。
但是，最难能可贵的是，我们拥有一个独一无二、平衡的政府体制。
9.我认为美国具有最古老的政府模式，因为自从1789年我们建立起现在的民主制度以来，其他的国家不是经历了议会制度的变革，就是经过了革命的洗礼；而只有我们的制度一如既
往，而且会经久不衰，给予最大多数的人最高程度的幸福。
