Unit 3 Book 1Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. (Para. 2)Why is this sentence reversed?(The word “nor” here appears at the beginning of the sentence to give force to the negation.- Nor will I deny that.)2.The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn’t succeed. (Para. 2) 1) What is the grammatical function of the first “that”?(Here “that” brings about an attributive clause.)2) What does the structure “such that” here mean?(The structure is used to give an explanation for something.- His manner was such that he would offend everyone he met. )3) What can we infer from this sentence?(No way can suppress anything new, as human initiative and inventiveness do exist.)3.All it would do is slow down the rate of change. (Para. 2)Why is there no “to” between “is” and “slow”?(When “do” appears in the subject of a sentence, the sign“to” of an infinitive which is used as the predicative can be omitted.- The first thing he did was (to) look for a guide.- All we could do now is (to) remain cool-headed.)4.At the moment, the public is in two minds about science. (Para. 3)1) What does “in two minds about” mean?(Unable to decide whether or not you want sth. or want to do sth.- I think she’s in two minds about whether to accept his present or not.)2) What can we learn from the sentence?(The public finds itself holding two contradictory viewpoints about science. On the one hand, it expects the improvement in the standard of living that has been brought by science; on the other hand, it also distrusts science because it does not understand it.)5.It is also an important element behind support for the Green parties. (Para. 3)1) What does “it” refer to?(The public’s distrust of science)2) What part of speech is “support” here?(It is a noun.)6.But in schools science is often presented in a dry and uninteresting manner. (Para. 4) Paraphrase the sentence.(But in schools science is often taught in a dull and boring way.)7.Maybe I would have sold twice as many copies without it.

It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. After all, an actual musical material is being used. The intelligent listener must be prepared to increase his awareness of the musical material and what happens to it. He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. But above all he must, in order to follow the line of the composer's thought, know something of the principles of musical form. Listening to all of these elements is listening on the sheerly musical plane.

Let me repeat that I have split up mechanically the three separate planes on which we listen merely for the sake of greater clarity. Actually, we never listen on one or the other of these planes. What we do is to correlate them – listening in all three ways at the same time. It takes no mental effort, for we do it instinctively.

否定句式在汉译英中应注意的几个常见错误英语和汉语在否定的表达形式上存在着许多差异，中国学生往往会以中国人的思维方式和习惯用法去套英语，这样在汉译英时难免会出现一些错误。

部分常见的错误举例如下：1、未经允许，任何人不得入内。

误：Anybody can not come in without permission.正：Nobody can come in without permission.“任何……不”是汉语中常用的否定句式，而在英语中与any构成的合成词或被any修饰的词语作主语时，谓语动词不能用否定式，因此any ... not的表达形式不符合英语的习惯。

Lsaac Bashevis Singer (1904—1991) was born in a Jewish village in Poland. In 1935 he immigrated to New York. Singer wrote many stories and novels, as well as books for juveniles and four autobiographies (including Lost in America, 1981). In 1978 his work received world attention when he was awarded the Noble Prize in Literature. The Son from America------lsaac Bashevis Singer The village of Lentshin was tiny. It was surrounded by little huts with thatchad roofs. Between the huts there were fields, where the owners planted vegetables or pastured their goats. In the smallest of these huts lived old Berl, a man in his eighties, and his wife Berlcha. Old Berl was one of the Jews driven from Russia who had settled in Poland. He was short, broad-shouldered, and had a small white beard, and in summer and winter he wore a sheepskin hat, a padded cotton jacket, and stout boots. He had a half acre of field, a cow, a goat, and chickens. The couple had a son, Samuel, who had gone to America forty years ago. It was said in Lentshin that he became a millionaire there. Every month, the Lentshin letter carrier brought old Berl a money order and a letter that no one could read because many of the words were English. How much money Samuel sent his parents remained a secret. They never seemed to use the money. What for? The garden, the cow, and the goat provided most of their needs. No one cared to know where Berl kept the money that his son sent him. The hut consisted of one room, which contained all their belongings: the table, the shelf for meat, the shelf for milk foods, the two beds, and the clay oven. Sometimes the chickens roosted in the woodshed and sometimes, when it was cold, in a coop near the oven. The goat, too, found shelter inside when the weather was bad. The more prosperous villagers had kerosene lamps, but Berl and his wife did not believe in new gadgets. Only for the Sabbath would Berlcha buy candles at the store. In summer, the couple got up at sunrise and retired with the chickens. In the long winter evenings, Berlcha spun flax and Berl sat beside her in the silence of those who enjoy their rest. Once in a while when Berl came home from the synagogue, he brought news to his wife. In Warsaw there were strikers who demanded that the czar abdicate. Somebody by the name of Dr. Herzl had come up with the idea that Jews should settle again in Palestine. Berlcha listened and shook her head. Her face was yellowish and wrinkled like a cabbage leaf. She was half deaf. Berl had to repeat each word he said to her. Here in Lentshin nothing happened except usual events: a cow gave birth to a calf, a young couple got married. Actually, Lentshin had become a village with few young people. The young men left for Zakroczym, for Warsaw, and sometimes for the United States. Like Samuel, they sent letters and photographs in which the men wore top hats and the women fancy dresses. Berl and Berlcha also received such photographs. But their eyes were failing and neither he nor she had glasses. They could barely make out the pictures. Samuel had sons and daughters—and grandchildren. Their names were so strange that Berl and Berlcha could never remember them. But what difference do names make? America was on the other side of the ocean, at the edge of the world. A talmud teacher who came to Lentshin had said that Americans walked with their heads down and their feet up. Berl and Berlcha could not grasp this. How was it possible? But since the teacher said so it must be true. One Friday morning, when Berlcha was kneading the dough for the Sabbath loaves, the door opened and a noblemanentered. He was so tall that he had to bend down to get through the door. He was followed by the coachman who carried two leather suitcases. In astonishment Berlcha raised her eyes. The nobleman looked around and said to the coachman in Yiddish, "Here it is." He took out a silver ruble and paid him. Then he said, "You can go now." When the coachman closed the door, the nobleman said, "Mother, it's me, your son Samuel-Sam." Berlcha heard the words and her legs grew numb. The nobleman hugged her, kissed her forehead, both her cheeks, and Berlcha began to cackle like a hen, "My son!" At that moment Berl came in from the woodshed, his arms piled with logs. The goat followed him. When he saw a nobleman kissing his wife, Berl dropped the wood and exclaimed, "What is this?" The nobleman let go of Berlcha and embraced Berl. "Father! " For a long time Berl was unable to utter a sound. Then he asked, "Are you Samuel?" "Yes, Father, I am Samuel. " "Well, peace be with you. " Berl grasped his son's hand. He was still not sure that he was not being fooled. Samuel wasn't as tall and heavy as this man, but then Berl reminded himself that Samuel was only fifteen years old when he had left home. Berl asked, "Why didn't you let us know that you were coming?" "Didn't you receive my cable?" Samuel asked. Berl did not know what a cable was. Berlcha had scraped the dough from her hands and enfolded her son. "I never thought I could live to see this. Now, I am happy to die," Berlcha said. Berl was amazed. These were just the words he could have said earlier. After a while Berl came to himself and said, "Pescha, you will have to make a double Sabbath pudding in addition to the stew." It was years since Berl had called Berlcha by her given name. Only now did Berlcha begin to cry. Yellow tears ran from her eyes, and everything became dim. Then she called out, "It's Friday—I have to prepare for the Sabbath." Yes, she had to knead the dough for the loaves. With such a guest, she had to make a larger Sabbath stew. The winter day is short and she must hurry. Her son understood what was worrying her, because he said, "Mother, I will help you." The nobleman took off his jacket and remained in his vest, on which hung a solidgold-watch chain. He rolled up his sleeves. "Mother, I was a baker for many years in New York," he said, and he began to knead the dough. Berlcha wept for joy. Her strength left her, and she slumped onto the bed. Berl said, "Women will always be women." And he went to the shed to get more wood. The goat sat down near the oven; she gazed with surprise at this strange man. The neighbors had heard the good news that Berl's son had arrived from America and they came to greet him. The women began to help Berlcha prepare for the Sabbath. Some laughed, some cried. The room was full of people, as at a wedding. After Berlcha lit the candles, father and son went to the little synagogue across the street. A new snow had fallen. The son took large steps, but Berl warned him, "Slow down." In the synagogue the Jews sang their prayers. All the time, the snow outside kept falling. When Berl and Samuel left the Holy Place, the village was unrecognizable. Everything was covered in snow. One could see only the contours of the roofs and the candles in the windows. Samuel said, "Nothing has changed here." Berlcha had prepared fish, chicken soup with rice, meat, carrot stew. The family ate and drank, and when it grew quiet for a while one could hear the chirping of the house cricket. After the final prayer Samuel asked, "Father, what did you do with all the money I sent you?" Berl raised his white brows. "It's here." "Didn't you put it in a bank?" "There is no bank in Lentshin." "Where do you keep it?" Berl hesitated. "One is not allowed to touch money on the Sabbath, but I will show you. "He crouched beside the bed and began to shove something heavy. A boot appeared. Its top was stuffed with straw. Berl removed the straw and the son saw that the boot was full of gold coins. He lifted it. "Father, this is a treasure!" he called out. "Well." "Why didn't you spend it?" "On what? Thank God, we have everything." "Why didn't you travel somewhere?" "Where to? This is our home." The son asked one question after the other, but Berl's answer was always the same: They had everything. The garden, the cow, the goat, the chickens provided them with all they needed. The son said, "If thieves knew about this, your lives wouldn't be safe." "There are no thieves here." "What will happen to the money?" "You take it." ” Slowly, Berl and Berlcha grew accustomed to their son and his American Yiddish. Berlcha could hear him better now. She even recognized his voice. He was saying, "Perhaps we should build a larger synagogue." "The synagogue is big enough," Berl replied. "Perhaps a home for old people." "No one sleeps in the street." The next day after the Sabbath meal was eaten, Berl and Berlcha lay down for a nap. They soon began to snore. The goat, too, dozed off. The son put on his cloak and his hat and went for a walk. He strode with his long legs across the marketplace. He stretched out a hand and touched a roof. He had a desire to talk to someone, but it seemed that the whole of Lentshin was asleep. Samuel returned home. Dusk had fallen. Berl went to the synagogue for the evening prayers and the son remained with his mother. In the twilight Samuel put his hand into his jacket pocket and touched his checkbook, his letters of credit. He had come here with big plans. He had a suitcase filled with presents for his parents. He wanted to help the village. He brought not only his own money but funds from the Lentshin Society in New York. But this village needed nothing. From the synagogue one could hear people chanting. The cricket, silent all day, started again its chirping. Berlcha began to sway and utter holy rhymes inherited from mothers and grandmothers. 冷申村的贵客---艾萨克·巴舍维斯·⾟格冷申村微不⾜道，四周全是⼩⼩的茅草屋，草屋之间是⽥地，农民们在这些⽥地上或种蔬菜，或放牧⽺群。
