(poverty) was a product of their excessive fecundity...The poverty of the poor was caused by their having too many children.3. ...the rich were not responsible for either its creation or its amelioration.The rich were not to blame for the existence of poverty so they shoul d not be asked to undertake the task of solving the probl em.4. It is merely the working out of a law of nature and a law of God.It is only the result or effect of the law of the survival of the fittest applied to nature orto human society.5. It declined in popularity, and references to its acquired a cond emnatory tone.People began to reject Social Darwinism because it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose treasured values of sympathy, love and friendship. Therefore, when it was mentioned, it was usually the target of criticism.6. ...the search for a way of getting the poor off our conscience was not at an end; it was only suspended.The desire to find a way to justify the unconcern for the poor had not been aband oned; it had only been put off.7. ...only rarely given to overpaying for monkey wrenches,flashlights, coffee makers, and toilet seats.Government officials, on the whole, are good; it is very rare that some woul d pay high prices f or office equipment to get kickbacks.8. This is perhaps our most highly influential piece of fiction.It is a very popular story and has been accepted by many but it is not true.9. Belief can be the servant of truth---but even more of convenience.Belief can be useful in the search for truth.But more often than not it is accepted because it is convenient and self-serving.10. George Gil der... Who tells to much applause that the poor must have the cruel spur oftheir own suffering to ensure effort...George Gil der advances the view that only when the poor suffer from great misery will they be stimulated to make great efforts to change the situation;in other words, suffering is necessary to force the poor to work hard.1. An imbalance between the rich and poor is the ol dest and most fatal ailment of republics .贫富不均乃共和政体最致命的宿疾。

But somehow I had never quite sensed its appaling desolation.But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.3….it reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressing joke.This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly,saddening joke.4.The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grim of the endless mills.The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.5.They have taken as their model a brick set on end.The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built looked like bricks standing upright.6.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards, with a narrow, low-pitched roof.These brick-like houses were made of shabby,thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.7.When it has taken on the patina of the mills it is the color of an egg long past all hope or caring.When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills ittakes on the color of a rotten egg.8.Red brick, even in a steel town, ages with some dignity.Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.9.I award this championship only after laborious research and incessant prayer.I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.10.They show grotesqueries of ugliness that, in retroapect, become almost diabolical.They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself. 11.It is incredible that mere ignorance should have achieved such masterpieces of horror.It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.12.on certain levels of the American race, indeed, there seems to be a positive libido for the ugly…People in certain strata of American society seem definite- ly to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Chris- tian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.13.they meet, in some unfathomable way, its obscure and unintelligible demands.These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot un- derstand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind.14….they made it perfect in their own sight by putting a completely impossible penthouse, painted a staring yellow, on top of it.They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.15.out of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hates truth.From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth．第八课1….by the very fact of production, he has risen above the animal kingdom…Because of the fact itself that man produces, he has developed far beyond all other animals.2.Work is also his liberator from nature, his creator as a social and independent being.Work also frees man from nature and makes him into a social being independent of nature.3…all are expressions of the creative transformation of nature by man’s reason an d skill.All the above-mentioned work shows how man has trans formed nature through his reason and skill.4.There is no split of work and play, or work and culture.Therefore pleasure and work went together so did the cultural development of the worker go hand in hand with the work he was doing.5.Work became the chief factor in a system of “innerwordly asceticiam,”an answer to man’s sense of aloneness andisolation.Work became the chief element in a system that preached an austere and self-denying way of life. Work was the only thing that brought relief to those who felt alone and isolat ed leading this kind of ascetic life.6.Work has become alienated from the working person.In capitalist society the worker feels estranged from or hostile to the work he is doing.7. Work is a means of getting money, not in itself a meaningful human activity.Work helps the worker to earn some money; and earning money only is an activity without much significance or pur pose. 8…a pay check is not enough to base one’s self-respect on.Just earning some money is not enough to make a worker have a proper respect of himself.9…most industrial psychologists are mainly concerned with the manipulation of the worker’s psyche,Most industrial psychologists are mainly trying to manage and control the mind of the worker.10.It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management.Better relations with the public will yield larger profits to management. The management will earn larger profits if it has better relations with the public.11.But this usefulness often serves only as a rationalization for the appeal to complete passivity and receptivity.The fact that many gadgets are indeed useful is often used by advertisers as a more "high-minded" cover for what is really a vulgar, base appeal to idleness and willingness to accept things.12….he has a feeling of fraudulency about his product and a secret contempt for it.The businessman knows the quality or usefulness of his product is not what it should be. He despises the goods he produces, conscious of the deception involved.第九课1.with a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the city Omelas.The 1oud ringing of the bells, which sent the frightened swallows flying high, marked the beginning of the Festival of Summer in Omelas.2…their high calls rising like the swallows’ crossing flights over the music and the singing.The shouting of the children could be heard clearly above the music and singing like the calls of the swallows flying by overhead.3…exercised their restive hoeses befor the race.The riders were putting the horses through some exercises because the horses were eager to start and stubbornly resisting the control of the riders.4.Given a description such as this one tends to make certain assumptions.After reading the above description the reader is likely to assume certain things.5.These were not simple folk, not dulcet shepherds, noble savages, bland utopian.The citizens of Omelas were not simple people, not kind and gentle shepherds, not savages of high birth, nor mild idealists dreaming of a perfect society.6.This is the treason of the artist:a refusal to admit thebanality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and pain is very dull and uninteresting.7.They were mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they were not miserable people.8.Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion.Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells him, assuming his imagination will be equal to the task.9.The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the ways of the city.The faint but compelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city.10.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect.Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has become very foolish and stupid because of fear, poor nourishment and neglect.11.Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment.The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement even if it is treated kindly and tenderly.12.Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality,and to accept it.They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears dry up when they realize howjust and fair though terrible reality was.第十课1.The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle aged.At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it longingly.2.The rejection of Victorian gentility was, in any case, inevitable.In any case, an American could not avoid casting aside its middle-class respectability and affected refinement.3.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian slcial structure,…The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.4…it was tempted, in America at least, to escap e its responsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication…In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures illicit,…The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.6…our young men began to enlist u nder foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7…they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up”.The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended.8….they had outgrown towns and families…These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical dogoodism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10.Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already v ery tense, had to break down. 11…it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pens inflamed against war, Babbittry, and “Puritanical”gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings were filled with violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.12.Each town had its”fast” set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.第十一课1…below the noisy arguments,the abuse and the quarrels,there is a reservoir of instinctive-feeling…The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.2…at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them.What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider to be lazy and troublesome people.3….there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor,…There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governing board of a factory).4.It demands bigness, and they are suspicious of bigness.The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not like or trust bigness.5.Against this, at least superficially, Englishness seems a poor shadowy show…At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.6….while Englishness is not hostile to chan ge, it is deeply suspicious of change for change’s sake,…Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7.To put cars and motorways before houses seems to Englishness a communal imbecility.To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public stupidity~8.I must add that while Englishness can still fight on, Admass could be winning.I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting,there is a great possibility of Admass winning.9.It must have some moral capital to draw upon, and soon it may be asking for an overdraft.Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.10.They probably believe, as I do, that the Admass “Good Life” is a fraud on all counts.These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11.They can be found, too-though not in largenumbers because the breed is duing out- among crusty High Tories who avoid the City and directors’ fees.They can be found too though there are not many of them now because these kind of people are dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, extremely conservative politicians who refuse to accept high posts in big commercial enterprises.12….they are inept, shiftless, slovenly, messy.They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.13…he will not even find much satisfaction in this scrounging messy existence, which does nothing for a man’s self-respect. He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.14.To them the House of Commons is a remote squabbling-shop.These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are always quarreling andarguing over some small matter.15….heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away polotics.If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.第十二课1.It is a complex fate to be an American…The fate of an American is complicated and hard to understand.2…they were no more at home in Europe than I was.They were uneasy and uncomfortable in Europe as I was.3.We were both searching for our separate identities.They were all trying to find their own special individualities.4.I do not think that I could have made this reconciliation here.I don't think I could have accepted in America my Negro status without feeling ashamed.5.Europe can be very crippling too…Europe can also have a very frustrating or disabling effect.6…it is easier to cut across social and occupational lines there than it is here.It is easier in Europe for people of different social groups and occupations to intermingle and have social intercourse.7.A man can be as proud of being a good waiter as of beinga good actor, and in neither case feel threatened.In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and position. They are not jealous of each other and do not live in fear of losing their position.8.I was born in New York, but have lived only in pockets of it.I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city.9.This reassessment, which can be very painful, is also very valuable.The reconsideration of the significance and importance of many things that one had taken for granted in the past can be very painful, though very valuable.10.On this acceptance, literally, the life of a writer depends.The life of a writer really depends on his accepting the fact that no matter where he goes or what he does he will always carry the marks of his origins.11.American writers do not have a fixed society to describe.American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed, so they do not have a fixed society to describe.12.Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumpti ons on the part of the people…Every society is influenced and directed by hidden laws, and by many things deeply felt and taken for granted by the people, though not openly spoken about.第十四课1.Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste…Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.2.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends,…New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of America.3…sitcomes cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preempt the airwaves from California.Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.4. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attraction.New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.5.To win in New York is to be uneasy…A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid of losing what he has won in the fierce competition).6.nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.7…the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens.At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken the night sky.8.But the purity of a bihemian dedication can be exaggerated.But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.9.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, New York starts or originates very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts of the country.10.The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype,…The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional advertising.11…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves in the magazines.Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles for popular magazines.12.Broadway, which seemed to be succuming to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again.Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, is once again busy and active.13…he prefers the unhealthy haale and the vitality of urban life.(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.14.The defeated are not hidden away aomewhere else on the wrong side of town.Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hidden away in slums or ghettoes where other people can't see them.15.The place constantly exasperates, st times exhilarates.New York constantly irritates and annoys very much but at times it also invigorates and stimulates.。

一，21-271.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. We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. ()h God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.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支撑起来。
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。

No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips 42V．Ⅵ．Ⅶ. would not be interesting)．10．life is very hard for ninety percent of the people．With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil．11．She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community，that。
she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal．12．People with brown skins are almost invisible．13．The Senegales soldiers were wearing ready—made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well—built bodies．14．How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us?。
15．Every white man，the onlookers，the officers on their horses and the white N．C．Os．marching with the black soldiers，had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mind．然而这些人的真正奇特之处还在于他们的隐身的特性。
一连几个星期，每天几乎在同一时候总有一队老妪扛着柴草从我房前蹒跚走过。
虽然他们的身影以映入我的眼帘，但老实说，我并不曾看见她们。
我所看见的是一捆捆的柴草从屋外掠过。
直到有一天我碰巧走在她们身后时，堆柴草奇异的起伏动作才使我注意到原来下面有人。
这才第一次看见那些与泥土同色的可怜老妪的躯体——枯瘦的只剩下皮包骨头、被沉重的负荷压得弯腰驼背的躯体。
然而，我踏上摩洛哥国土还不到五分钟就已注意到驴子的负荷过重，并为此感到愤怒。
驴子遭到荷虐，这是无疑的事实。
摩洛哥的驴子不过如一只瑞士雪山救人犬一般大小，可它驮负的货物重量在英国军队里让一头五英尺高的大骡子来驮都嫌过重。
而且，它还常常是一连几个星期不卸驮鞍。
尤其让人觉得可悲的是，它是世上最驯服听话的牲畜。
不需要鞍辔会僵绳。
它便会像狗一样更随着自己的主人。
为主人拼命干上十几年活后，它便猝然倒地死去，这时，主人就把它仍进沟里，尸体未寒，其五脏六腑便被村狗扒出来吃掉。
这种事情当然令人发指，可是，一般说来，人的苦难却没人理会。
我并非在乱发议论，只不过是指出一个事实而已。
这种人简直就是一种无影无行之物。
一头背上被磨得皮破肉烂的驴子人人见了都会同情，而那驮着大捆柴草的老妇人则往往要有某种偶然因素才会受到注意。
三，9-111．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．Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard，formal English all the time in their conversation．有人举出了一个人所共知，但仍值得提出来发人深思的例子。
