But the “three-fifths”clause and the twenty years allowed for the slave trade showed the slave issue was not solved, so the process of forming a more perfect union did not end with the enforcement, of the Constitution.2.But it also comes from my own story.My personal background and my success story ,rising from rags to riches ,also teaches me the importance of unity.3.But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts-that out of many,we are truly one.Through my experience in the United States, I am deeply rooted with the idea that America is not a total of adding everything together but is the product of fusion, of sharing the same creed.4.Through the first year of this campaign,against all predictions to the contrary,we saw how hungry he American people were for this message of unity.In spite of all predictions that I would fail in the campaign,we gained momentum in the first year of the campaign,which showed that the American people were eager to unity and change.5.Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens,we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. People were encouraged to judge me in terms of race and color , raising the question of whether the United State would fare better with a black president. However , we won great victories even in some states which are more conservative and more racially biased.6.We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the south Carolina primary.The week before the Democrats were to select their delegates to the national convention in South Carolina ,racial tension which seemed insubstantial in the past before more frequent and more intense.7.On one end of the spectrum,we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action;that it’s based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.At one end of the entire range of opinion, there are people who say that I decided to run for presidency only because the desires of native liberals in achieving racial harmony without making great effort and I wanted to prove that black and white should have equal opportunity.8.I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.It is impossible for me to cast him off just as it is impossible for me to repudiate the black community.Unit 111.Your imagination comes to life,and this,you think,is where Creation was begun.The landscape makes your imagination vivid, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.2.But warfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival,and they never understood the grim.unrelenting advance of the U.S. Cavalry.Warfare was important for the Kiowas more because they fought out of their habit,character and nature than for the sake of survival.Therefore,they never figured out why the US Cavalry kept attacking them so fiercely and cruelly.3.My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years...My grandmother was born eight or ten years after that event,so she didnot suffering the humiliation of being put into a stone corral.4.It was a long journey toward dawn, and it led to a golden age.They moved toward the south and east,where the sun rises,and also toward the beginning of a new era,which led to the greatest moment of their history.5.They acquired horses,and their ancient nomadic spirit was suddenly free of the ground.They got horses,and galloping on horseback made them free to move,thus liberating their ancient nomadic spirit.6.Clusters of trees and animals grazing far in the distance cause the vision to reach away and wonder to build upon the mind.Far in the distance,there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. This landscape makes it possible to see far into the distance and admire the scene.7.I was never sure that I had the right to hear,so exclusive were they of all mere custom and company.I was not sure that I had any right to overhear her praying, which did not follow any customary way of praying, and which I guess she did not want anyone else to hear.8.Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room,she seemed beyond the reach of time.But that was illusion;I think I knew then that I should not see her again.In this way she was completely and inexplicably moved to another state in the dancing light among the shadows of her room,and it seemed that she would live forever.But that was a false idea,I realized the fact that this was going to be my last time to see her.9.The women might indulge themselves;gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude.The women who usually stayed at home and served their men ,might havea chance to enjoy themselves by gossiping with the other women on such occasion as a reward for their servitude.Unit 121....but as I looked out over the bow,the prospects of a good catch looked bleak.…but as I looked out over the bow, I could see there was not possible to catch a large amount of fish.2....about the tunnel he was digging through time....about the ice core sample marked by annual layers, which can show the different degrees of population from year to year.3.Industry meant coal,and later oil,and we began to burn lots of it-bringing rising levels of carbon dioxide(CO2),with its ability to trap more than in the atmosphere and slowly warm the earth.The development of industry means the use of large amount of coal and later petroleum as fuels to generate power. When coal and oil are burned they emit carbon dioxide into the air which keeps more heat near the earth. When the level of carbon dioxide emission in the air becomes high, heat will find it difficult to get through it to go into higher altitudes. Thus the temperature of the earth gets warmer.4.Considering such scenarios is not a purely speculative exercise.Thinking about how a series of events might happen as a consequence of the thinning of the polar cap is not just a kind of practice in conjecture :It has got practical value.5.Acre by acre,the rainforest is being burned to create fast pasture for fast-food beef.. Gradually trees in the rainforest are burned and the land is cleared and turned into pasture where cattle can b e rais ed quickly and slaughtered so that the beef can be used in hamburgers.6....which means are silencing thousands of songs we have never even heard.

Here I stand, sentimental and sensitive, like an old unmarried woman painting a water-color picture of sunset.6.I want my fill of beauty before I go.I want to enjoy beauty as much as I can before I die.7...no longer what people believe me to be,a middle-aged journalist taking a holiday on a ocean-going liner,but a liberated being,bathed in mythological waters,an Endymion young and strong,with a god for his father and a vision of the world inspired from Olympus.At this moment I am not a middle-aged journalist that people believe me to be spending a holiday on an ocean-going liner. I have now become a liberated person, bathed in magic waters, and I feel I like Endymion, a young and strong man who had a god for his father and gifted with the power to see the world inspired by the gods at Olympus.8.All weight is lifted from my limbs; 1 am one with the night...I feel that I am weightless and totally absorbed by the night and united with the night.9.Thus,I imagine,must the pious feel cleansed on leaving the confessional after the solemnity of absolution.Therefore ,I imagine devoted religious people must feel as clean and pure as I do now when they leave the solemn confessional after gaining pardon of their sins.10.So do I let my imagination play over the recesses of Laura's Character, so austere in the foreground but nurturing what treasures of tenderness, like delicate flowers, for the discovery of the venturesome.In this way I let myself freely imagine what the innermost part of Laura's Character presents.She looks so severe outwardly,but inwardly she is full of tenderness -tenderness like delicate flowers waiting for the daring to discover them.11.We might all take a lesson from him, knowing the latitude we can permit ourselves.We should all learn from the albatross and also know how far we can allow ourselves to go.12. This is the new Edmund Carr with a vengeance.Here I am born anew ,completely differently from the past. 13....the Pacific alone dwarfs all the continents put together.The pacific Ocean alone is much larger than all the continents combined. 14.. I have been exhilarated by two days of storm, but above all I love these long purposeless days in which I shed all that I have ever been. The storm that lasted two days has made me extremely excited and happy, but above all ,I love these idle days in which I throw off all the qualities,perspectives, values and everything else that made me as what I was :I am born anew.Unit 141.“I suppose they will be rounded up in hordes.”“I think the Red Army men will be surrounded and captured in very large numbers”2.Hitler was counting on enlisting capitalist and Right Wing sympathies in this country and the U. S. A.Hitler was hoping that if he attacked Russia ,he would win the support of capitalist and Right Wing in Britain and the US.3.Winant said the same would be true of the U.S.A.Winant said the United States would adopt the same attitude;4.If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons.I would say a word in favor of anyone who is attacked by Hitler ,no matter how bad ,how wicked or evil he had been in the past.5.“It is devoid of all theme and principle except appetite and racial domination.”The Nazism has no lofty and righteous principle or goal ,and cares only its ambition to conquer the western emisphere and to enslave the other peoples.6.“I see the German bombers and fighters in the sky, still smarting from many a British whipping, delighted to find what they believe is an easier and a safer prey.”I see the German bombers and fighters flying in the sky attacking the Russian army.They were once beaten by the British Royal Air Force,and now are happy because they think their new enemy in Russia is much easier and safer to conquer.7.“We shall be strengthened and not weakened in determination and resources.’“We shall be more determined and shall make better and fuller use of our resources.”8.Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience.

高级英语第六册paraphrase
Paraphrase the following:Unit 11 The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2 Finally, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, proving you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.3 … you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. Y ou did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.Unit 21 Moses justified his unwilling to pass Jehovah’s order to Pharaoh, saying that he was “ slow of speech”.2 Delay leads to problems. However , in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3 He points out that hastiness may give rise to decisions which turn out t be humiliating or expensive.Unit 31 I am preety sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2 People in a primitive society , for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.3 Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of sience and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in the world.Unit 41 He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2 He enjoyed the freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. Yhe only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above- mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.3 The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen(to the accused) made this form of trial more attrative than any other form of justice.Unit 51 This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nture as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2 It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3 …, but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.Unit 61 One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.2 A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.3 People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetious work are usually who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.Unit 71 Beauty, when considered in relation to a female, involves a judgement of not only looks but also charcter and intellect, making itself a much more controversial issue. Unit 81 Apart from that, the entire attration of the toffee is gone without your noticing it when you actually go so far as to eat it.2 As far as I am concerned, the greatest pleasure appetite can offer is the longing for what I have yet to achieve rather than to feel content with what I have already achieved.Unit 93 The rapid spread of scofflawry is its most disturbing characteristic. Only a totally irrational society could ever tolerate its unchecked growth.Unit 101 We both use all the knowledge and imagination we can summon, tryin to figure out the actual sense, and after practically one whole hour, we eventually are able to understand it.2 It does harm to the most intellifent individual and, by and by, wears away his ability to judge, eventually reducing him to being unable to detect nonsense either in his own writing or in that of others.3 He reads gibberish, and gradually he forms a habit of writing gibberish himself, which he has been instructed to learn as exemplary writing of sophisticated taste.。

ParaphraseUnit 91.The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished.After heated debate and compromises, the Constitution was finally adopted by the Constitutional Convention and 39 out of 55 delegates signed the document. But the "three-fifths〞clause and the twenty years allowed for the slave trade showed the slave issue was not solved, so the process of forming a more perfect union did not end with the enforcement, of the Constitution.2.But it also comes from my own story.My personal background and my success story ,rising from rags to riches ,also teaches me the importance of unity.3.But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts-that out of many,we are truly one.Through my experience in the United States, I am deeply rooted with the idea that America is not a total of adding everything together but is the product of fusion, of sharing the same creed.4.Through the first year of this campaign,against all predictions to the contrary,we saw how hungry he American people were for this message of unity.In spite of all predictions that I would fail in the campaign,we gained momentum in the first year of the campaign,which showed that the American people were eager to unity and change.5.Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens,we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. People were encouraged to judge me in terms of race and color , raising the question of whether the United State would fare better with a black president. However , we won great victories even in some states which are more conservative and more racially biased.6.We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before thesouth Carolina primary.The week before the Democrats were to select their delegates to the national convention in South Carolina ,racial tension which seemed insubstantial in the past before more frequent and more intense.7.On one end of the spectrum,we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action;that it’s based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.At one end of the entire range of opinion, there are people who say that I decided to run for presidency only because the desires of native liberals in achieving racial harmony without making great effort and I wanted to prove that black and white should have equal opportunity.8.I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.It is impossible for me to cast him off just as it is impossible for me to repudiate the black community.Unit 111.Your imagination comes to life,and this,you think,is where Creation was begun.The landscape makes your imagination vivid, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.2.But warfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival,and they never understood the grim.unrelenting advance of the U.S. Cavalry.Warfare was important for the Kiowas more because they fought out of their habit,character and nature than for the sake of survival.Therefore,they never figured out why the US Cavalry kept attacking them so fiercely and cruelly. 3.My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years...My grandmother was born eight or ten years after that event,so she did not suffering the humiliation of being put into a stone corral.4.It was a long journey toward dawn, and it led to a golden age.They moved toward the south and east,where the sun rises,and also toward thebeginning of a new era,which led to the greatest moment of their history.5.They acquired horses,and their ancient nomadic spirit was suddenly free of the ground.They got horses,and galloping on horseback made them free to move,thus liberating their ancient nomadic spirit.6.Clusters of trees and animals grazing far in the distance cause the vision to reach away and wonder to build upon the mind.Far in the distance,there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. This landscape makes it possible to see far into the distance and admire the scene.7.I was never sure that I had the right to hear,so exclusive were they of all mere custom and company.I was not sure that I had any right to overhear her praying, which did not follow any customary way of praying, and which I guess she did not want anyone else to hear.8.Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room,she seemed beyond the reach of time.But that was illusion;I think I knew then that I should not see her again.In thisway she was completely and inexplicably moved to another state in the dancing light among the shadows of her room,and it seemed that she would live forever.But that was a false idea,I realized the fact that this was going to be my last time to see her.9.The women might indulge themselves;gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude.The women who usually stayed at home and served their men ,might have a chance to enjoy themselves by gossiping with the other women on such occasion as a reward for their servitude.Unit 121....but as I looked out over the bow,the prospects of a good catch looked bleak.…but as I looked out over the bow, I could see there was notpossible to catch a large amount of fish.2....about the tunnel he was digging through time....about the ice core sample marked by annual layers, which can show the different degrees of population from year to year.3.Industry meant coal,and later oil,and we began to burn lots of it-bringing rising levels of carbon dioxide<CO2>,with its ability to trap more than in the atmosphere and slowly warm the earth.The development of industry means the use of large amount of coal and later petroleum as fuels to generate power. When coal and oil are burned they emit carbon dioxide into the air which keeps more heat near the earth. When the level of carbon dioxide emission in the air becomes high, heat will find it difficult to get through it to go into higher altitudes. Thus the temperature of the earth gets warmer.4.Considering such scenarios is not a purely speculative exercise.Thinking about how a series of events might happen as a consequence of the thinning of the polar cap is not just a kind of practice in conjecture :It has got practical value.5.Acre by acre,the rainforest is being burned to create fast pasture for fast-food beef.. Gradually trees in the rainforest are burned and the land is cleared and turned into pasture where cattle can b e rais ed quickly and slaughtered so that the beef can be used in hamburgers.6....which means are silencing thousands of songs we have never even heard. Since miles of forest are being destroyed and the habitat of these rare birds no long exists,thousands of birds which we have not even had a chance to see will become extinct.7.And why do other images,though sometimes equally dramatic,produce instead a kind of paralysis,focusing our attention not on ways to respond but rather on some convenient,less painful distraction?And why do other symbols, though sometimes no less surprising, only cause a kind of loss and inactivity and we concentrate our attention not on ways to deal with them but, instead on some other distractions which are easy and less painful to handle?8.This increase in heat seriously threatens the global climate equilibriumthat determines the pattern of winds,rainfall,surface temperatures,ocean currents and sea level.The global climate balance determines the the pattern of winds,rainfall,surface temperatures,ocean currents and sea level.Once this state of balance is broken,winds,rainfall,and ocean currents will become abnormal; surface temperatures and sea level will rise.9.So far,however,we seem oblivious of the earth’s natural systems.So far, we seem unaware that the earth’s natural systems are delicate.10.They are symptoms of an underlying problem broader in scope and more serious than any we have ever faced.They are signs and indications showing that there exists a much greater and more serious problem than we have ever encountered.Unit 131.I observe with amusement how totally the concerns of the world,which once absorbed me to the exclusion of all else except an occasional relaxation with poetry or music,have lost interest for me even to the extent of a bored distaste.I was once so completely absorbed in the important affairs of the world that I devoted all my attention, time and energy to them and only occasionally did I allow myself a little rest by reading poetry or listening to music.2.Or maybe Laura’s unwitting influence has called it out.Or maybe my suppressed inclination has been called out under Laura’s unintentional influence.3.Dismissive as a Pharisee,I regarded as moonlings all those whose life was lived on a less practical plane.I was as careless of others as a Pharisee and I viewed with contempt all those who lived a less practical life than my own and regarded them as impractical inhabitants on the moon.4.A hard materialism was my creed, accepted as a law of progress; any ascription of disinterested motives aroused not only my suspicion butmy scorn.I firmly believed in materialism which in my opinion represented the law of human progress.When people said they did things out of unselfish motives, I suspected them and viewed them with contempt.5.And now see how I stand,as sentimental and sensitive as any old maid doing water colors of sunsets!Just imagine how I have changed now. Here I stand, sentimental and sensitive, like an old unmarried woman painting a water-color picture of sunset.6.I want my fill of beauty before I go.I want to enjoy beauty as much as I can before I die.7...no longer what people believe me to be,a middle-aged journalist taking a holiday on a ocean-going liner,but a liberated being,bathed in mythological waters,an Endymion young and strong,with a god for his father and a vision of the world inspired from Olympus.At this moment I am not a middle-aged journalist that people believe me to be spending a holiday on an ocean-going liner. I have now become a liberated person, bathed in magic waters, and I feel I like Endymion, a young and strong man who had a god for his father and gifted with the power to see the world inspired by the gods at Olympus.8.All weight is lifted from my limbs; 1 am one with the night...I feel that I am weightless and totally absorbed by the night and united with the night.9.Thus,I imagine,must the pious feel cleansed on leaving the confessional after the solemnity of absolution.Therefore ,I imagine devoted religious people must feel as clean and pure as I do now when they leave the solemn confessional after gaining pardon of their sins.10.So do I let my imagination play over the recesses of Laura's Character, so austere in the foreground but nurturing what treasures of tenderness,like delicate flowers, for the discovery of the venturesome.In this way I let myself freely imagine what the innermost part of Laura's Character presents.She looks so severe outwardly,but inwardly she is full of tenderness -tenderness like delicate flowers waiting for the daring to discover them.11.We might all take a lesson from him, knowing the latitude we can permit ourselves.We should all learn from the albatross and also know how far we can allow ourselves to go.12. This is the new Edmund Carr with a vengeance.Here I am born anew ,completely differently from the past. 13....the Pacific alone dwarfs all the continents put together.The pacific Ocean alone is much larger than all the continents combined. 14.. I have been exhilarated by two days of storm, but above all I love these long purposeless days in which I shed all that I have ever been. The storm that lasted two days has made me extremely excited and happy, but above all ,I love these idle days in which I throw off all the qualities,perspectives, values and everything else that made me as what I was :I am born anew.Unit 141."I suppose they will be rounded up in hordes.〞"I think the Red Army men will be surrounded and captured in very large numbers〞2.Hitler was counting on enlisting capitalist and Right Wing sympathies in this country and the U.

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 of nature.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 and skill.All the above-mentioned work shows how man has transformed 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 “inner worldly asceticism”, an answer to man’s sense of aloneness and isolation.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 isolated leading this kind of ascetic life.6. Work has became 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 meaning human activity.Work helps the worker to earn some money; and earning money only is an activity without much significance or purpose.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 reallya 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 loud 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 singsing.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 horses before 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 utopians.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 artist: a refusal to admit the banality 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 nature, 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.

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 social structure.The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.4. It was tempted, in America at least, to escape 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 under 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 sodden, Napoleonic cynicism of Versailles, the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition.The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10.

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 fellow-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 man, 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, Englishness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.6. While Englishness is not hostile to change, 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 change’s sake.To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public stupidity~8. I must add that while English 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 large numbers because the breed is dying out —among crusty High T ories 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 and arguing over some small matter.15. Heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away politics.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 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 being a 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 assumptions 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.。

(p3)Education is something that all students should participate in.2.When students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudestoward school, and that positive attitudes enhance learning. (p3)When students participate in classroom discussion they are more inclined to think that going to school is useful, and the positive attitudes facilitate learning.3.It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom and score lower than boyson SATs. (p3)It is not surprising that the two things, namely, girls being more passive in the classroom and scoring lower than boys should be causally related.4.Most teachers claim that girls participate and are called on in class as often as boys. (p4)Most teachers state that girls participate and are asked to speak in class as often as boy.5.But a three-year study we recently completed found that this is not true; vocally, boys clearlydominate the classroom. (p4)Based on a three-year study, we found that this is not true; in terms of oral participation, boys clearly speak much more in classroom.6.When we showed teachers and administrators film of a classroom discussion and asked whowas talking more, the teachers overwhelmingly said the girls were. (p4)When we showed teachers and people responsible for the running of a school a video of a classroom discussion and asked who was talking more, the teachers almost all said the girls were.7.But in reality, the boys in the film were out-talking the girls at a ratio of three to one. (p4)But in reality, the boys in the video were talking more than the girls at a speed of three to one.8.Half of the classroom covered language arts and English-subjects in which girls traditionallyhave excelled; the other half covered math and science --- traditionally made domains. (p5) Half of the classroom covered the skills in using the language for effective communication and literary appreciation. And girls usually do better in these subjects. The other half covered math and science which traditionally belong to male field.9.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls dominate classroomdiscussion in reading, while boys are dominant in math. (p7)Our research denied the truth of the traditional supposition that girls control classroom discussion in reading, while boys control the discussion in math.10.We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boysgot more than their fair share of teacher attention. (p7)We found that whether the subject was skills in using the language for effective communication and English or math and science, boys got more teacher attention than is supposed to be fair.11.Some critics claim that if teachers talk more to male students, it is simply because boys aremore assertive in grabbing their attention --- a classic case of the squeaky wheel getting the educational oil. (p8)Some critics state firmly that if teachers talk more to male students, it is simply because boys are more aggressive in catching their attention --- a typical example of the notice ---arresting students getting more attention from the teacher.12.However, male assertiveness is not the whole answer. (p8)However, male’s mere assertive cannot completely answer the question.13.Girls are often shortchanged in quality as well as in quantity of teacher attention. (p10)Girls are often not given enough teacher attention what they deserve in quality as well as in quantity.14.Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself;classroom chivalry is not only misplaced, it is detrimental.

(p13) During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys’ answers with energetic, accurate and effective responses, while they often gave girls indifferent and general reactions.16.Despite caricatures of school as a harsh and punitive place, fewer than 5 percent of theteachers’ reactions were criticism, even of the mildest sort. (p15)Although school is often mockingly described as a place where students are badly treated and often punished.17.Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. (p18)Too often, girls are kept completely uninformed about the quality of their answers.18.Unfortunately, acceptance, the imprecise response packing the least educational punch,gets the most equitable sex distribution in classroom. (p18)It is unfortunate that the least useful kind of feedback is distributed between boys and girls most impartially, while the more useful kinds of feedback are heavily biased towards boys.Thus the overall result is that the feedback boys receive much more beneficial than that for girls.19.Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. Andthey are more likely to be boys. (p18)Any active student who receives precise feedback can achieve more in his or her studies.And boys are more likely to be active and to receive such feedback, and so are more likely to succeed.20.By high school, some girls become less committed to careers, although their grades andachievement-test scores may be as good as boys’. (p20)By high school, some girls are not so devoted to the subject they have been studying, despite their academic study as good as boys’.21.Many girls’ interests turn to marriage or stereotypically female jobs. (p20)Many girls’ interests turn to marriage or jobs which are conventionally believed to be taken up by women only.22.The sexist communication game is played at work, as well as at school.

(p28)Classes taught by these trained teachers had a higher level of the discussion which is full of intelligence and contained more effective and accurate teacher responses for all students.Lesson 2 Philosophers among the Carrots1.I asked myself if it was still permissible to take pleasure in the profession of housewife andnot be a traitor to the cause. (p1)I was wondering whether it is possible for me to get pleasure by working as a housewifewhile at the same time still devoted to the Women’s Lib.2.I recalled Socrates saying that, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” and decided thatmaybe it was time to examine mine. (p1)I remembered Socrates’saying that, “The life of few profound consideration and carefulchoice is not a meaningful one”, and decided that maybe it was time to look at my life very carefully to see if any lessons could be drawn from it or any changes needed to be made in it.3.If I hadn’t been to college, I wouldn’t have been that significant analogy, I thought smugly,depositing an orange pit in the sink as I finished the salad (or did I learn that in high school?).(p2)I feel proud of knowledge I have acquired from college which descend in scale. I splitted anorange pit into the kitchen sink after I had finished eating the salad. (If I didn’t learn that in high school, which part of the compulsory education was, I should not feel so indebted to Women’s Lib.)4.Then, as I eyed a bowl of cooked carrots speculatively, sizing them up for carrot cake ofmarinated vegetable salad and opting for the cake which I knew would be seconded by my husband and sons, (p3)Then, as I watched a bowl of cooked carrots thoughtfully, estimating whether they would be better for making salad, and deciding on the cake which I knew would be supported by my husband and three sons,5.I followed the train of my thoughts which was chugging off into philosophical realms led byArchimedes who said, “Any object placed in a fluid displaces its weight; an immersed object displaces its volume,” (p3)My thoughts, led by Archimedes, wandered away into the kingdom of philosophy. He said, “W hen an object floats on the liquid we can know its weight, which is equal to the weight of the liquid it has displaced; when an object immersed in the liquid we can know its volume which is equal to the volume of the liquid it has displaced.”6.Muttering, along with Emerson, that “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…”I dumped in a couple of spoonfuls of applesauce to make it come out right. (p3)Saying in a low voice, quoting from Emerson that “To observe a rule rigidly is an abominable quality of unintelligent people” I poured a couple of spoonfuls of applesauce to taste better.7.Buddha has his Bo tree, I have my refrigerator.

(p4)Please rest assured that what you are washing today is different from what you washedyesterday.9.I saw about me the variety in unity and unity in variety spoken of by my aestheticsprofessor. (p4)I saw the principle spoken by my aesthetics professor which means to see uniformity indifferences and see differences in uniformity. Applied to my case, “unity”means that all the clothes I had to wash were dirty clothes and “variety”means that every piece to be washed was different from every other piece.10.I indulged in aggressive fantasies against my dear family as I picked up a necktie draped ona lamp, a pair of tennis shoes under the couch, a cache of peanut shells beneath anewspaper and remembering William James’ comment that “Even a pig has a philosophy,”I wondered angrily what theirs was.

(p9)Reality is good. It is good, because everything is created by God.Lesson 3 The Power of Habit1.Habit is a second nature! Habit is ten times nature. (p1)Habit is a second born quality. It is so deeply fixed that you simply follow your habit without thinking.2.…… the degree to which this is true no one probably can appreciate as well as one who is aveteran soldier himself. (p1)Only the experienced soldier can best recognize the truth of the duke’s statement.3.The daily drill and the years of discipline end by fashioning a man completely over again, asto most of the possibilities of his conduct.

(p4)Because of habit, those who have been trained to work in that place since their childhood will not give up those most difficult and unpleasant occupation.12.It protects us from invasion by the natives of the desert and the frozen zone. (p4)It makes the natives of the desert and the frozen zone stay in their own place because of habit.13.It dooms us all to fight out the battle of life upon the lines of our nature or our early choice,and to make the best of a pursuit that disagrees, because there is no other for which we are fitted, and it is too late to begin again. (p4)Habit determines that one will stay and work hard till the end of life in a disagreeable occupation which he was brought to follow or chose early in our life, and try to accept and manage it as well as he can. Because there is no other choice for which we are suitable, and it is too late to begin again.14.Although at the age of twenty-five you see the professional mannerism settling down onthe young commercial traveler. (p4)By age 25, your future career has been settled down and you have formed peculiar habits in work.15.You see the little lines of cleavage running through the character, the tricks of thought, theprejudices, the ways of the “shop”, in a word, from which the man can by-and-by no moreescape than his coat sleeve can suddenly fall into a new set of folds. (p4)You get the general idea of the traits of one’s personality, the particular way of thinking, the personal preference, the ways in which one does one’s business, they are all fixed habits. Therefore, the man cannot escape his old habits he has acquired just as his coat sleeve cannot suddenly fall into a new set of folds which has been ironed into it.16.It is best he should not escape. (p4)It is most desirable he should not eacape.17.Hardly ever is a language learned after twenty spoken without a foreign accent;If one learns a language after the age of twenty, he will almost never sound like a native speaker, but only like a foreigner;18.Hardly, ever can a youth transformed to the society of his betters unclean and nasality andother vices of speech bred in him by the associations of his growing years. (p5)Any young man who has been promoted to a higher social position may learn to give up his nasal accents and other bad habits that have been brought up in him by his early education.19.An invisible law, as strong as gravitation, keeps him within his orbit, arranged this year ashe was the last; and how his better-clad acquaintances continue to get the things they wear will be for him a mystery till his dying day. (p5)A person’s old habits, as powerful as gravity, make him to take control over his behaviors…20.It is to fund and capitalize our acquisitions, and live at ease upon the interest of the found.(p6)The calculation of good habits formed is just like the investment of money in a project, if you can form a good habit in your early years, you can benefit a lot from them and enjoy the comfortable life in the future.21.The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody ofautomatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work. (p6)Most of the trivial items in our life can become a habit and can be taken of our conscious mind which therefore can be used for more important task.22.Full half the time of such a man goes to deciding, or regretting, of matters which ought tobe so ingrained in him as practically not to exist for his consciousness at all. (p6)Such man spends not less than half of his time deciding or regretting which should be deeply fixed and really should not all matters for his conscious thinking at all.Lesson 4 The Invisible Japanese Gentlemen1.They spoke to each other rarely in their incomprehensible tongue. (p1)They hardly ever spoke during the meal, and when they did speak, they spoke in a way that the author cannot understand what they are talking about.2.Sometimes the pretty girl who sat in the window beyond gave them a passing glance, buther own problem seemed too serious for her to pay real attention to any in the world except herself and her companion. (p1)Sometimes the pretty girl who sat near window over there gave them a casual glance, but she was so much troubled by her own problem that she couldn’t pay any attentions to others but to herself and her fiancé.3.…… petite in a Regency way, oval like a miniature, though she had a harsh way of speaking--- perhaps the accent of the school, Roedean or Cheltenham Ladies’ College, which she not long ago left. (p2)……her face was small, delicate, and clean, and was as oval-shaped as a miniature, representing the typical feminine face admired as perfect by Regency time, though she spoke in a firm, commanding tone and an upper-class manner, typical of those who had been educated at a highly prestigious school for upper-class young women, which she graduated not long ago.4.Her companion appeared a little distraught. (p4)Her partner seemed somewhat worried or upset about what to do next.5.I could see them as two miniatures hanging side by side on white wood panels. (p5)I could see them to be two small portraits hanging side by side as decorations for thesurface of a wall.6.He should have been a young officer in Nelson’s navy in the days when a certain weaknessand sensitivity were no bar to promotion. (p5)He should have had an easy access to promotion in Nelson’s navy despite some weakness and sensitivities as he had some feminine features which would be admired by people then.7.She deserved a better life. (p6)She could have enjoyed an easier life than toiling as a novelist.8.You know you don’t get on with him. This way we shall be quite independent. (p8)You know you don’t have a good relationship with your uncle. If we do as I have said we shall be quite independent.9.My mother says that writing is a good crutch… (p13)She disapproves of writing as the main thing (a career), but though writing is good only as an auxiliary support.10.a pretty solid crutch (p14)If you should think writing is support, I would argue that it is a pretty solid support. It can be the main source of a living.11.I see what you mean. (p26)I understand what you are trying to say.12.I was on the side of his mother. It was a humiliating thought, but I was probably about hermother’s age. (p26)I agreed with his mother that writing should not be a career, but only a support. Althoughknowing oneself to be old would cause discomfort and embarrassment, I was actually about her mother’s age and therefore quite in a position to advise her and her future. 13.……“the long defeat of doing nothing well” (p27)……“the frustration of being unable to write anything good for many years”14.……, by performance and not by promise. (p27)……, by what you have actually written, not by any indication of potential success in you. 15.I didn’t know you’d ever been there. (p29)The polite way of saying “I know you have never been there (so how can you write about a place you don’t know?)16.A fresh eye’s terribly important. (p30)It’s all good to see something new.17.Perhaps, we’d go better to marry when you come back. (p37)It will be more sensible of us to get married when you come back.18.……couldn’t you observe a bit more near home? Here in London. (p47)…… why go off to St. Tropez? Couldn’t you write something about here, about London?19.Darling, you’re awfully decorative, but sometimes --- well, you simply don’t connect. (p51)You look awfully good. (If we go out together, I can feel proud of being accompanied by such a handsome young man.) But you haven’t got intelligence, you absolutely don’t connect one meaning to author.20.…… bowed to each other, as though they were blocked in doorway. (p54)…… yielded apologetically to each other in such a manner as if they have dumped into each other in a doorway, as one was going out and the other coming in21.I had thought the two young people matching miniatures, but what a contrast in fact therewas. The same type of prettiness could contain weakness and strengthens. (p55)I had wrongly believed that the two young people were a good match for their looks. Butnow I saw they were so different in nature. The same pretty looks could mean a weak character in some people, but a strong character in others.22.Her Regency counterpart, I suppose, would have borne a dozen children without the aid ofanesthetics, while he would have fallen an easy victim to the first dark eyes in Naples.(p55)If she had lived in Regency time, she would have been able to give birth to a dozen children without the use of anesthetics. However, if he had been a young officer in Nelson’s navy and had called at the port of Naples, he would easily have been secured by the first Italian woman he met after setting foot ashore.23.I didn’t like to think of her as the Mrs. Humphrey Ward of her generation --- not that Iwould live so long. (p55)I dreaded the thought of her becoming a well-established writer. This was not because Iwould live so long as to see her become another Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the Mrs. Humphrey Ward of her time. But this was because I was deeply aware that the further she went alonga writer’s road, the more severely she was sure to suffer.24.Old ages saves us from the realization of a great many fears. (p55)Being old enable we to avoid seeing many unpleasant things happen. Because we are old, we will not live to see a great many things we fear actually happen.25.……, and she didn’t look like Mrs. Humphrey Ward. (p55)……, Mrs. Humphrey Ward looked plain, while she looked pretty, and her photo on the back of the jacket would help make the book well received by reviewers as well as readers. 26.Sometimes you are so evasive I think you don’t want to marry me at all. (p57)evasive: deliberately avoiding the major topic of getting married。
高级英语第10课paraphrase总结
2.Geographically American was separated by the Atlantic and the Pacific on both sides from the rest of world, historically, the nation had wished to establish a theological country and make it example for the world. However, in the 1920s, some people realized that their country no longer stood alone and they had assumed an international position. It was simple impossible to make policies or adhere to the tradition according to their own principles of right and wrong without the impact of the world event. These people might not declare the idea openly, but at least they had subconsciously understood it.3.After the first world war, the American industry developed at an unprecedented speed, producing large, noisy factories where modern machinery roared all the time and big, profit-thirsty corporations without any human feelings and a society where the ruthless desire to dominate pervaded. Under such circumstances, the principles of polite behavior, personal culture and traditional morality which were formed in the quieter and less competitive age before the war were totally discarded.4. War was not the crucial factor in the change of moral standard. As time passed, the society advanced and one generation followed another, it became more and more difficult for our young people to act on the principles of behavior that had nothing to do with the prosperous business world. It was in this noisy and busy world that they had to struggle to be successful.5. In the process of tearing down the social system of the Victorian age, the First World War was only a stimulus, the first world war was only a stimulus, not the decisive blow. It threw the romantic and unprepared young people into the modern war which turned out to be a mass murder, and liberated the wild energics which they had so far kept in check. After the war, bothin Europe and American, the young used their violent energies to destroy the nineteenth-century society which was out of date.6. The young generation was confronted with the task of updating the moral code of the post-war society. But they tended to escape the responsibilities by pretending to be cynical and to be able to see through everything and by drinking heavily and living an immoral life as the unconventional artists. At least in American they behaved mischievously and withdrew from their duties.7. Prohibition made it illicit to buy and drink alcohol. As a result the young people at that time found drinking more enjoyable than ever, not only because it was refreshing and relaxing, but also because the very act of drinking was illicit. The widely-known debauched lift the intellectuals lived in Greenwich Village set them an example, which the much-publicized ideas defying the traditional values gave them the philosophy to justify their escapism.9. Their energies had been whipped up and their naivete by the war and now, in sleepy Gopher Prairies all over the country, they were being asked to curb those energies and resume the pose of self-deceiving Victorian innocence that they now felt to be as outmoded as the notion that their fighting had “made the world safe for democracy.”P:Their violent energies had been released by war and their innocent beliefs and romantic ideals destroyed by war. To them, the old Victorian social codes were just as out-molded as the idea that their flight had “made the world soft for democracy.” The whole country appeared in their eyes as backward, undeveloped areas of the prairies and they were now asked to control their energies and continue a lift as virtuous and pretentious as the Victorian structure required.10. After the war, 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 to pour out their new-found creative strength, to tear down the old world, to flout the morality of their grandfathers, and to give all to art, love, and sensation.P: After the war, hopeful young writers thought and wrote with violent indignation at war, at the bourgeois provincial smugness, and the traditional “Puritanical”elegance. It was only natural for them to crowd in large numbers to Greenwich Village—the traditional living center for artists where living was still cheap in 1919—to write vigorously with their newly liberated creative strength, to attack and destroy the old social structure, to mock at the conventional old morality and to put their heart into art, love and the pursuit of new sensations. 11. Younger brothers and sister of the war generation, who had been playing with marbles anddolls during the battles of Belleau Wood and Chateau—Thierry, and who had suffered no realdisillusionment or sense of loss, now began to imitate the manners of their elder and play withthe toys of vulgar rebellion.P: Younger brother and sister of the generation matured up in war now imitated them to be rebellious although they were playing with their toys when their elders fought hard and shed blood at the battles of Belleau Wood and Chatearu—Thierry and they had never suffered the disillusionment or sense of loss their elders felt so acutely.12.P:If people had really listened to artists and followed their ideas, these deficiencies couldeliminated. But the whole country cared about nothing except money, the sensitive anddisappointed artists had no choice but emigrate to Europe which was the center of art andliterature and where they could do better.。

高英精读5paraphrase原文+译文
1.The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy. It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2.Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3.The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when he/she is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can be he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4.Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against that stands against love.Power in the best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5.At that time, economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made(or how wealthy he was).6.The absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7.It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8.When the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.When the unfair practice of judging human value by the amount of money a person has got is done away with.9.He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality. Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10.Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practices racial as racial discrimination.1.I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size.I imagined myself being different types of prodigy, trying to find out which type would best suit me.2.I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts.Some new thoughts came to my mind, thoughts that I deliberately wanted to be disobedient, or to be more exact, thoughts that I would say lots of “ I won’t …” to my mother.3.The girl had a sauciness of a Shirley Temple.The girl was somewhat like Shirley Temple, a bit rude, but in an amusing way.4.It felt like worms and toads and slimy things crawling out of my chest, but it also felt good, as if this awful side of me had surfaced, at last. While saying these, I was scared as if some very unpleasant, horrible things had got out of my chest; but at the same time, I felt a bit delighted for I was finally able to make this awful part of me known to my mother.5.And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point, I wanted to see it spill over.And I could feel that her anger was coming to the point where her endurance and self-control would collapse, but I wanted to see what exactly she would do when that happened.6.The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it not only shut out the dust but also put an end to my misery and my mother’s dreams as well.1.Yet globalization… Is a reality, not a choice.However, as one report said, globalization “is now an ordinary fact of life, not something one can choose to have or not.”2.Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups favored by the general public have appeared in large numbers to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign “cultural assault.”3.Where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand.Where the two trends- the dislike and fear of things foreign and the desire to build China into one of a powerful, industrialized economy- have often contended with each other for dominance.4.Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.Those people in countries like China should continue to live a backward life while we ourselves will enjoy a comfortable life with all modern facilities.5.Westernization is a phenomenon shot through with inconsistencies and populated by very strange bedfellows.Westernization is a concept full of self-contradictions and held by people of very different backgroundsand views.6.You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.You don’t have to look fashionable or attractive in order to find out what will be the future trend; you only need to be observant and be able to make judgments about it.7.He was up in the cybersphere far above the level of time zones.He was playing the game on the Internet with people living in different parts of the world, an activity that goes far beyond the limit of time zones.8.In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising $100,000.In the first two weeks after starting business in Shanghai, the Gucci Store made as much as $100,000, a surprisingly large amount of money.9.Early on I realized that I was going to need some type of compass to guide me through the wilds of global culture.Early before that/ From the very beginning I realized I was going to need some guidance that would lead me through the rich and wide variety of global cultures.10.The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of expressing repentance may have been characteristic of the Jews, but the desire for forgiveness from God was common to people of all cultures.1.Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, masters and mistresses, are not needed by writer.Unlike a pianist or a painter who must have a piano or hire models, or visit famous cities like Paris, Vienna and Berlin, or to be taught by masters and mistresses, a writer does not need all this.2.she would have plucked the heart out of my writing.Those conventional attitudes and beliefs( represented by the Angel) would have taken away the essence/ soul of my writing.3.Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. Thus whenever I felt the influence of traditional Victorian values and attitudes( about gender roles) on my writing, I fought back with all my power.4.For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in these respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women.This is because, even though men readily allow themselves full freedom in speaking or writing about such as the body and passions, I don’t think they realize how severely they condemn or can control their extremely severe condemnation of, such freedom in women.5.Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a book without findinga phantom to be slain, a rock to be dashed against.No doubt, it will still take a long time, as I believe, before women are finally able to enjoy the freedom of writing without having to fight those conventional values, beliefs and prejudices that are unfavorable to them.6. Even?when?the?path?is?nominally?open- when?there?is?nothing?to?prevent?a?woman?from? being a doctor,a lawyer, a civil servant -there are many?phantoms?and?obstacles,?as?I?believe,?looming in her way.Even?though?the?path?is?now?open?to?women?in?name?only,?when?they?have?the?freedom?to choose to?be?a?doctor,?a?lawyer, a civil servant,?I?believe?that?there?still?exist?many?false?ideas?and obstacles to impede a woman’s progress.7.You?have?won?rooms?of?your?own?in?the?house?hitherto?exclusively?owned?by?men.By fighting against?the?Angel?in?the?House?and?through?your?painstaking?efforts,?you?have?gained?a position and some freedom in a society which has so far been dominated by men.1.It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.It took me a long time to get rid of illusions and realize the simple and apparent truth that I am nobody but myself. It was a painful process. I started with high expectations only to be deeply disappointed and thoroughly disillusioned.2.And yet I am no freak of nature, nor of history. I was in the cards, other things having been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago. I am perfectly normal physically and I am a natural product of history; my growth reflects history. When things seemed likely to happen to me, other things has been equal (or unequal) 85 years ago.3.About eighty-five?years?ago?they?were?told?that?they?were?free,?united?with?others?of?our?country in?everything?pertaining to the common?good,?and?in?everything?social,?separate?like?the fingers of the hand.About 85?years?ago,?they?were?told?that?they?were?freed?from?slavery?and?became?united?with the white people in all the essential things?having?to?do?with?the?common?interests?of?our country, but?in?social?life?the?blacks and whites still remain separated.4.In those?pre-invisible?days?I?visualized?myself?as?a?potential?Booker?T.?Washington.Inthose?days?before?I?realized?I?was?an?invisible?man,?I?imagined?that?I?would?become?a?successful?man?l ike Booker T. Washington.5.I wanted?at?one?and?the?same?time?to?run?from?the?room,?to?sink?through?the?floor,?or?go?to her and cover her from my eyes of the others?with?my?body;?to?feel?the?soft?thighs,? to caress her?and?destroy?her,?to?love?her?and?murder?her.On the?one?hand,?I?felt?so?embarrassed?that?I?wanted?to?run?away?from?the?ballroom.?On?the?other hand I took pity on the girl and so wanted?to?protect?the?naked?girl?from?the?eyes?of?the other men. I?wanted?to?love?her?tenderly?because?she was an attractive girl,?but?at?the?same?time?I?wanted todestroy?her?because?after?all?she was the immediate cause of our embarrassment.6.Should?I?try?to?win?against?the?voice?out?there??Would?not?this?go?against?my?speech,?and?was not this a moment for humility, for nonresistance?If I?should?try?my?best?and?win?the?fight,?then?I?would?be?winning?against?the?bet?of?that?white man, who shouted “I got my money on?the?big?boy.?"?In?that?case?I?would?not?behave?with?humility, and yet?my?speech?talked?about humility as the essence of success. So?maybe?I?should?let?that big boy win?without?putting?up?resistance,?for?this?was?time?for?me?to?show?humility.7. “ Cast down your bucket where you are” - cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.Make full?use?of?what?you?have?and?do?the?best?you?can.?Take?this?attitude?in?making?friends?in every honorable way, making friends with people of different races among whom we live.8.“You weren't?being?smart,?were?you,?boy?"?"We?mean?to?do?right?by?you,?but?you've?got?to know your place at all times.”You were?not?trying?to?seem?clever?in?a?disrespectful?way,?were?you,?boy??We?intend?to?do?the right thing by setting you up as role model,?but?you?must?never?forget?who?you?are.1. And I was conscious?of?his?superiority?in?a?way?which?was?embarrassing?and?led?to?trouble.?I knew that?Oppenheimer?was?a?man?of?great?talent?his?way?of?showing?his?talent?at?seminars caused uneasiness and resentment among people,?especially?among?his?fellow?students.?2.This did not?seem?to?be?the?sort?of?anecdote?that?would?go?over?especially?well?at?a?conference?devotes to poetry.Since those?attending?the?conference?were?people?devoted?to?poetry,?such?an?anecdote,?though interesting, might not be appreciated by the audience.3.Pitted against?these?excellent?reasons?for?my?not?going?to?the?conference?were?two?others?that? finally carried the day.These were?two?reasons?for?my?going?to?the?conference?ser?against?the?reasons?for?my?not?going?and they became decisive in my final decision.4.He is,?for?me,?one?of?those?people?whose?writing?about?their?writing?is?more?interesting than their writing itself.According to?my?view,?Spender?belongs?to?the?group?whose?writings?about?their?lives,?experiences that is whose autobiographies, are more interesting?than?their?literary?works.?5.Auden’s Dirac-like?lucidity,?the?sheer?wonder?of?the?language,?and?the?sense?of?fun?about serious things …Were to me irresistible. Like Dirac,?Auden?was?outstanding?in?clarity.?He?was?also?outstanding?in?the?powerful?use?of?the language and the sense of fun about serious?issues.?All?these?greatly?fascinated?me.?6.Spender’s journal?entry?on?his?visit?is?fascinating?both?for?what?it?says?and?for?what?it?does?not say.Spender’s record?of?this?visit?is?interesting?not?only?because?of?the?things?he?mentions?but?also because of the things he doesn’t say.7.Oppenheimer appears in Spender’s journal as?a?disembodied?figure?with?no?contextual?relevance?to?Spender’s own life.In his book Spender?fails?to?give?a?connected,?complete?picture?of?Oppenheimer?and?does?nit mention that Oppenheimer’s background and?situation?has?quite?a?lot?to?do?with?Spender.?8.The real thing was much better.The real?person?looked?much?better?than?the?pictures.9.One probably?should?not?read?too?much into appearance.Maybe one?should?not?attach?too?much?importance?to?appearance.?10. He had outlived?them?all,?but?was?still?under?their?shadow,?especially?that?of?Auden…?He had lived?longer?than?any?of?his?more?famous?friends?but?traces?or?influences?of?these?friends, especially those of Auden, could still be found on him.1. Your imagination?comes?to?life,?and?this,?you?think,is?where?Creation?was?begun.?The landscape?makes?your?imagination?vivid?and?lifelike,?and?you?believe?that?the?creation?of?the whole universe was begun right here.2.But warfare?for?the?Kiowas?was?preeminently?a?matter?of?disposition?rather?than?of?survival,?and they never understood the grim ,unrelenting?advance?of?the?.?Cavalry.TheKiowas?often?fought?just?because?they?were?good?warriors,?because?they?fought?out?of?habit,?character, nature, not because they?needed?extra?lands?or?material?gains?for?the?sake?of?surviving?and thriving.?And?they?could?not understand why the .?Cavalry?never?gave?up?pushing?forward even when?they?had?won?a?battle.?3.My grandmother?was?spared?the?humiliation?of?those?high?gray?walls?by?eight?or?ten?years.Luckily my?grandmother?did?not?suffer?the?humiliation?of?being?put?into?a?closure?for?holding?animals, for she was born eight or ten years after the event.4. It was?a?long?journey?toward?dawn,?and?it?led?to?a?golden?age.?They moved?toward?the?east,?where?the?sun?rises,?and?also?toward?the?beginning?of?a?new culture, which led to the treatest moment of their history.5.They acquired?horses,?and?their?ancient?nomadic?spirit?was?suddenly?free?of?the?ground.?Now they?got?horses.?Riding?on?horseback,?instead?of?walking?on?football,?gave?them?this?new freedom ofmovement, thus completely liberating?their?ancient?nomadic?spirit.6.From one?point?of?view,?their?migration?was?the?fruits?of?an?old?prophecy,?for?indeed?they emergedfrom a sunless world.In a sense,?their?migration?confirmed?the?ancient?myth?that?they?entered?the?world?from?a?hollow log,for they did emerge from the?sunless?world?of?the?mountains.?7.The Kiowas?reckoned?their?stature?by?the?distance?they?could?see,?and?they?were?bent?and blind in the wilderness.Their stature?was?measured?by?the?distance?they?could?see.?Yet,?because?of?the?dense?forests,?they could not see very far, and they could?hardly?stand?straight.?8.Clusters of?trees?and?animals?grazing?far?in?the?distance?cause?the?vision?to?reach?away?and wonderto build upon the mind. The ?earth?unfolds?and?the?limit?of?the?land?is?far?in?the?distance,?where?there?are?clusters?of?trees?and animals eating grass. This landscape makes?one?see?far?and?broadens?one's?horizon.?9. Not yet?would?they?veer?southward?to?the?caldron?of?the?land?that?lay?below;they?must?wean their blood from the northern winter and hold?the?mountains?a?while?longer?in?their?view.?They would?not?yet?change?the?direction?southward?to?the?land?lying?below?which?was?like?a?large kettle. First they must give their bodies?some?time?to?get?used?to?the?plains.?Secondly,?they?did not want to lose?sight?of?the?mountains?so?soon.?10.I was?never?sure?that?I?had?the?right?to?hear,?so?exclusive?were?they?of?all?merely?custom?and? company.I was?not?sure?that?I?had?any?right?to?overhear?her?praying,?which?did?not?follow?any?customary?way of praying, add which I guess ?she?did?not?want?anyone?else?to?hear.?11. Transported so?in?the?dancing?light?among?the?shadows?of?her?room?she?seemed?beyond?the reach of time. But that was illusion; I?think?I?knew?then?that?I?should?not?see?her?again.?In this?way?she?was?entranced?in?the?dancing?light?among?the?shadows?of?her?room,?and?she?seemed to be timeless(what sh represented would last forever)12.The women?might?indulge?themselves;?gossip?was?at?once?the?mark?and?compensation?of their servitude.On these special?occasions,?women?might?make?loud?and?elaborate?jokes?and?talk?among?themselves. Their gossip revaeled their position as servants of men and a reward for their servitude.。
