现代大学英语精读6(第二版)参考用书Unit 8 Housewifely ArtsMegan Mayhew BergmanAdditional Background InformationWhat is this story about? One answer is simply that it is about love. Because of the protagonist’s strong maternal love for her son, Ike, she worries about genetic weaknesses she might have passed on to him—―cancer genes, hay fever, high blood pressure, perhaps a fear of math‖, plus being undersized for his age making him an easy target for bullies. Being a single parent, she knows that she is all her son has. She takes care to shelter him from bad examples and possible harm. The desire to be a good mother, to help her child grow up happy, healthy, and productive is so intense that she is sometimes haunted by nightmares.The experience of parenting her child gradually makes the protagonist more aware of her relationship with her mother:Will you love me forever? I think to myself. Will you love me when I’m old? If I go crazy? Will you be embarrassed by me? Avoid my calls? Wash dishes when you talk to me on the phone, roll your eyes, lay the receiver down next to the cat?These were exactly the things she did to her mother. Loving her son, she finally realizes how much her parents also loved her. Her father’s love was easier to understand. He tried his best to give her opportunities in life, but when she failed in the year at a private college, which he had funded for her with considerable difficulty, he did not judge or reproach her. She loved her father, but she regarded her mother as coldand harsh and fought constantly with her, reacting like her former self, the rebellious teenager, being neither mature nor compassionate in looking after her mother in old age, understanding her, forgiving her weaknesses, and loving her.But now that her mother is dead, she begins increasingly to miss her, and the decision to drive nine hours with her son for the sake of hearing her mother’s voice again through the imitations of Carnie, the African parrot, shows how much she needs this connection. “I realize how badly I need a piece of my mother. A scrap, a sound, a smell—something.” She knows she has not been a good daughter, and the parrot her mother loved and which she hated so much, always seemed to come between them. Now, however, Carnie has become her only avenue to the kind of memory she craves. But the bird does not give her that satisfaction, remaining completely silent. Perhaps it could not forgive her unkind treatment of it in the past.Nonetheless, the journey proves successful. In the tradition of the American ―road trip‖, another way of thinking about this story, the protagonist does not merely make an actual journey with her son in a car, during which various things happen along the way, she also makes a personal, emotional journey in which she achieves a measure of enlightenment. It is a typical feature of―road trip‖ journeys that they teach the characters things about themselves that they did not previously know.Driving toward home, they stop at the house in which the protagonist grew up–- ―a deserted, plain house for plain folks…‖…I lead him to the back of the house, down the hallway which still feels more familiar to me than any I know…I remove the valances Mom made in the early eighties, dried bugs falling from the folds of the fabric into the sink below. These are the things with which she made a home. Hercontributions to our sense of place were humble and put forth with great intent, crafts which took weeks of stitching and unstitching, measuring, cutting, gathering. I realize how much in the home was done by hand and sweat. My father had laid the carpeting and linoleum. Mom had painted the same dinner chairs twice, sewed all the window treatments…I scan the kitchen and picture Mom paying bills, her perfect script, the way she always listed her occupation with pride: homemaker…Recalling how her parents had created a home that she describes to Ike by saying, ―This was a beautiful house‖, she understands that her parents were not demonstrative people, not people who talked about love, but people who had shown it to her in all their actions and these things they had made. And here, also, she finds the clear recollections of her mother that she had been seeking: ―… Now I can hear my mother everywhere —in the kitchen, in my bedroom, on the front porch…‖This visit also helps the protagonist to make a major decision around which one part of the plot is constructed: should she and Ike move to Connecticut, a state to which her firm has offered to transfer her? Ike is reluctant.“…What if we live here forever? He asked. People used to do that, I said. Lived in one house their entire life. My mother, for instance…”In revisiting the house of her childhood, she has grasped the profound sense of home that growing up in this single place has given her. She concludes:“Together, we can make a solid grilled cheese, prune shrubs, clean house. Together, maybe we’re the housewife this house needs. Maybe our best life is here.”And, significantly, she comes, finally, to a true understanding of her mother’s courage and strength, granting her respect and admiration: “Steamrolled by the world, but in the face of defeat, she threatened us all.‖ And the last three sentences of the story—My heart, she’d said. I can turn it off. For years, I’d believed her. But I know the truth now. What maniacs we are—sick with love, all of us.—make clear her final realization that her mother loves and has always loved her, and that she, too, loves and has always loved her mother. Structure of the TextPart I (Paras. 1-11)The protagonist introduces herself and tells us that she is driving nine hours with her 7-year-old son so that she can hear her mother’s voice again.Part II (Paras. 12-22)The protagonist describes how she had to sell her mother’s house and how the house brought back memories of her dead mother with her African parrot.Part III (Paras. 23-34)On their way to the Zoo, the protagonist and her son come to a rest stop and what she sees makes her think about her responsibilities as a mother. Part IV (Paras. 35-51)The protagonist reminisces about how she first saw the parrot at her mother’s home and how they developed a hostile relationship from the very beginning.Part V (Paras. 52-58)The protagonist tells her son where they are going and for what purpose. We learn from this section what kind of person her son’s father is and how she became a single parent.Part VI (Paras. 59-65)The protagonist’s son, Ike, tells her a story about his classmate Louis’crazy mother and this once again makes her keenly aware of her desire to protect her son against even the knowledge that such people exist. Part VII (Paras. 66-97)This is a most revealing and touching part of the story in which we learn the reasons for the intense disagreements between the protagonist and her mother. She does not understand why her mother often appears harsh and cold, unlike her father, who was kind and did not judge her, nor can she understand why her mother gave so much of her care and attention to a bird so soon after her father’s death.Part VIII (Paras. 98-110)The protagonist and her son check into an inn and there she remembers how her mother cried over her grandmother’s death. She also hears in the news about a python strangling a toddler, which reminds her of a video of a similar event Ike’s father showed her. The fear that this could really happen to her son keeps her awake that night.Part IX (Paras. 111-123)In this section, the protagonist recalls how cruelly she hurt her mother’s feelings over the parrot when it was time to send her mother to a nursing home.Part X (Paras. 124-143)These memories show why the protagonist misses her mother so much and wants so much to hear her dead mother’s voice once again through the imitations of the parrot, but the bird refuses to talk, as though her mother still will not forgive her for the way she treated the bird.Part XI (Paras. 144-150)The protagonist now remembers the day her mother finally had to part with her beloved bird and go to the nursing home. It was a heart-breaking day for her.Part XII (Paras.151-177)As the protagonist revisits her home, happy memories come to her and she recalls her deceased parents. Her son feels sorry that his mother has been brought up in this place; in its rundown state, he sees it as miserable, but his mother tells him that it was ―a beautiful house‖.(提醒:因编辑的疏忽,教材(184页)1-4行漏标了段落序号,造成176-179序号缺失,并非文字缺失,特此说明。

Paragraph Writing
Tips for Para. writing
Part I Pre-reading Task Listen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions: 1. What do you know about Michael Jackson? 2. How does he feel about Ben? Why? 3. Do you think the song Ben reveals something about the relationship between man and animals? If so, what is it? 4. Is the song related to the theme of the unit — animal intelligence? How?
Tale of a Whale Why would an animal want to cooperate with a human? Behaviorists would say that animals cooperate when they learn it is in their interest to do so. This is true, but I don't think it goes far enough. Gail Laule, a consultant on animal behavior, speaks of Orky, a killer whale, she knew. "Of all the animals I've worked with, he was the most intelligent," she says. "He would assess a situation and then do something based on the judgments he made." Like the time he helped save a family member. When Orky's mate, Corky, gave birth, the baby did not thrive at first, and keepers took the little whale out of the tank by stretcher for emergency care. Things began to go wrong when they returned the baby whale to the tank. As the workers halted the stretcher a few meters above the water, the baby suddenly began throwing up through its mouth. The keepers feared it would choke, but they could not reach the baby to help it. Apparently sizing up the problem, Orky swam under the stretcher and allowed one of the men to stand on his head, something he'd never been trained to do. Then, using his tail to keep steady, Orky let the keeper reach up and release the 420-pound baby so that it could slide into the water within reach of help.

课文翻译(Unit1——10)第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。

我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子。

然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。

2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我。

我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。

3“我为什么要去上学?”我问父亲,“是我做错了什么了吗?”4“我不是在惩罚你,”父亲笑着说道,“上学不是一种惩罚。

学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。

难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?”5我不相信他的话。

我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。

6到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子。

“自己进去吧,”我父亲说,“加入他们。

笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样。

”7我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决。

但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。

“拿出点男子气概来,”他说,“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。

放学时我会在这等你的。

”8我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔。

他们中我一个也不认识。

他们也没有一个认识我的。

我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。

然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,“谁带你来的?”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。

10“我爸爸死了,”他简短地说。

11我不知道该说些什么。

这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来。

接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人。

那些人把我们排成几行。

使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。

每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们。

12“这是你们的新家,”那位女士说道,“这儿有你们的父母。

一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有。

因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活。

”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。

Unit 6 Text AThe Green Banana1.Although it might have happened anywhere, my encounter with the green banana started on a steep mountain road in the central area of Brazil. My ancient jeep was straining up through beautiful countryside when the radiator began to leak, and I was ten miles from the nearest mechanic. The over-heated engine forced me to stop at the next village, which consisted of a small store and a few houses that we are scattered here and there. People came over to look. They could see three fine streams of hot water spouting from holes in the jacket of the radiator. "That's easy to fix,? a man said. He sent a boy running for some green bananas. He patted me on the shoulder, assuring me that everything would work out. "Green bananas," he smiled. Everyone agreed.尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生,但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。

现代大学英语精读1unit6课文翻译第六单元青香蕉1.尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生,但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。

我那老式吉普车正吃力地穿过景色优美的乡村,这时,水箱突然漏水了,而离我最近的汽车修理站也还要十英里。

发动机过热迫使我在临近的村庄停了下来。

村里有一个小商店和分布在四处的几座房子。

有村民围过来看,三股细细的热水柱从水箱外壳上的小孔喷出来。

“这容易解决,”一个人说到。

他让一个小男孩跑去拿些青香蕉来。

这个人还拍了拍我的肩膀,安慰我问题会解决的。

“青香蕉。

”他笑了,其余的人都这么说着。

2.我和他们闲聊起来,心里却一直在想他们用这青香蕉怎么能修补好水箱。

毫无疑问,提问会暴露我的无知,因此我开始赞叹眼前美丽的乡村景色。

耸立在我们周围巨大的岩石群,很像里约热内卢著名的糖面包山。

“看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗?”那人指着一块特别高而且细长的黑色石柱问我,“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。

”3.我看着他,想知道他是否在和我开玩笑,但他却表情严肃,反过来认真地审视着我,似乎想确定我是否领会了他那句话的深刻含义。

这种情况要求我必须表现出认同。

他点头说:“绝对是中心。

这儿的人都知道。

”4.这时,小男孩抱着青香蕉回来了。

那个男子把其中一根掰成两半,将其断口处按在水箱的外壳上。

香蕉遇到炙热的金属融成了胶,立刻就堵住了漏洞。

面对如此情景,我惊呆了,我当时的表情一定是傻傻的,所有的人都笑了起来。

他们把我的水箱装满水,又让我带上一些香蕉,以防沿途中水箱再出问题。

路上,我又用了一次青香蕉,一个小时后,我开着车到达了目的地。

当地的一修理工笑着问我:“谁教你用青香蕉的?”我告诉了他那个村子的名字。

“他们有没有指给你看标志世界中心的那块岩石?”他问道。

我告诉他,他们指给我看了。

“我祖父就是那儿的人,”他说,“那的确是中心。

一直以来这儿的人都知道。

”5.作为美国教育的产物,除了把青香蕉当作还没长熟的水果,我从来就没注意过它。

They have long been referred to as “weaker sex”, considered naturally weaker than men, unable to perform the work that requires muscles or pluck the courage to face up to any crisis. As we know, Plato( 柏拉图 ), Aristotle, Shakespeare, and Confucius all made negative remarks about women. And even today, such a prejudice has not entirely been eliminated and the argument in the text shows how hard long-standing prejudices die.
1. Who do you think are braver, women or men? (Please give an example to support your statement.)
2. Do you think women can do everything men can?
3. Do you believe that women can face a crisis with great self-control?

Naguib Mahfouz——Education & Background 教育与背景Naguib Mahfouz was born on the 11th Dec. 1911 in an old quarter of Cairo, the youngest son of a merchant. He studied philosophy at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration and then in 1939 he worked for the Mini-stry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organisation at the Ministry of Culture. He also worked as a journalist. Although widely translated, his works are not available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat's Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists.背景知识通过问答和讲解的方式,帮助学生了解:纳吉布•马福兹所受教育和一般背景;He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo.II. Naguib Mahfouz —— important works (主要著作)纳吉布•马福兹的主要著作:阿拉伯世界的第一位诺贝尔文学奖获得者;Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, in 1988. He has been described as "a Dickens of the Cairo cafés" and "the Balzac of Egypt".He is now the author of no fewer than 30 novels, more than 100 short stories, andmore than 200 articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world.Mahfouz began writing when he was 17. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of The Cairo Trilogy in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional urban life.Works of his second writing period:The Children of Gebelawi (1959)The Thief and the Dogs (1961)Autumn Quail (1962)Small Talk on the Nile (1966)Miramar (1967)several collections of short stories.III. Naguib Mahfouz —— How he pictures the world (创作观)纳吉布•马福兹笔下的世界: 无尽的拼搏与悲剧的人生The picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz's work is very gloomy indeed, though not completely despondent. It shows that the author's social utopia is far from being realized.Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as a metaphysical force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.To sum up, in Mahfouz's dark tapestry of the world there are only two bright spots.These consists of man's continuing struggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.Text Appreciation (作品赏析)I. Structure of the text (10 minutes) (结构分析)The text can be conveniently divided into three parts. In the first part (para.1-7), we learn about the boy’s misgivings about school. He found it hard to be away from home and mom, and thought school was punishment. The second part (para.8-16) describes how the boy felt about school. He found that life at school was rich and colorful in many ways, although it also required discipline and hard work. In the last part of the text, the boy walked out of the school to find that the outside world had changed beyond measure and that he had grown into an old man.II.How to appreciate literature (15 minutes) (如何赏析文学作品)Plot of the story:Setting of the story:Protagonist v.s. Antagonists:Drama of the story lies in:Writing technique: (Have you ever read a story using the similar technique?)Theme of the story:Language UnderstandingI. Sentence Paraphrase (20 minutes)1. I walked along side ny father, clutching his right hand.Clutching his right hand: this is a present participle used to modify the main verb “walked”, showing manner in which the narrator walked. E.g.My mother stood at the window watching our progress…I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.“I’m not punishing you,” he said, laughing.The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work.2. They did not make me happy, : I wasn’t happy as I usually was when I had new clothes to wear.What does “they” refer to? Here “they” refers to the narrator’s new clothes3…as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time…. Because it was the day I started school.What does the narrator imply by using “to be thrown into school”?The writer uses “ to be thrown into school” to show that the little boy in the story didn’t want to go to school. He was forced by his father to do so. This is not a common collocation. A common collocation with “to be thrown into ( an unpleasant place)” is “ to be thrown into prison/jail”Cf. to throw sb. out (of a place): to force sb. to leave a place, e.g.They’ll throw me out (of school) if I fail three exams.4. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.What does “progress” mean here?Our progress: our slow and difficult movement towards the school. (My mother was anxious to know how my father would get me to go.)From time to time: sometimes, but not very often, e.g.He goes to see his grandparents from time to time, about five or six times a year. Hoping she would help: hoping she would stop my father taking me to school, or talk to my father so that he would change his mind about sending me to school. Question: What does the sentence tell us about the boy’s relationships with his parents?It seems that the boy was closer to his mother. Probably his mother was gentle while his father was strict.5. a street lived with gardens…a street where there are gardens … along both sideslined with …: past participle phrase used here to modify “a street”. It can beregarded as a relative clause cut short, eg.a novel (that was) written by Charles Dickenspersonal computers (that are) made in China6.Why school: Why do I have to go to school? Why are you going to throw me into school?This is an elliptical question. Such questions are common in conversation. E.g.a. Headmaster: We want you to go and tell the boy’s parents the news.T: What me?b. Father: We’ll go to Tianjin this weekend.Daughter: What for? (Why the weekend?/ Why Tianjin?)7. What have I done?I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong to be punished like this.( Little children often think that taking them away from Mom is the worst punishment.)This is a rhetorical question --- one that expresses strong feeling or opinion and doesn’t require an answer. It is used to say something more positively that in a statement.8. It’s a place that makes useful men out of boys.to make…(out) of sb. /sth.: to make sb./sth. become…, e.g.The army made a man of him. 军队把他培养成了个男子汉。
