L3. Pub Talk and the King’s English(酒吧闲谈与标准英语)Henry Fairlie (亨利·费尔利)1.Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities.And it isan activity only of humans. However intricate the way in which animals communicate with each other, they do not indulge in anythingthat deserves the name of conversation.人类的一切活动中，闲谈是最具交际性的sociable（主题句），也是人类特有的。

而动物之间的信息交流，无论其方式何等复杂intricate，也是称不上交际的。

1.And it is an activity only of humans. (para1) 并且它是人类特有的一种活动。

And conversation is an activity which is found only among human being．Sociable [ˈsoʊʃəbl] adj.随和的，好交际的，友善的friendly or agreeable,eapecially in an easy,informal way(用书）intricate (adj) : hard to follow or understand because full of puzzling parts，details，or relationships错综复杂的；难以理解的，难懂的Indulge: 任凭自己沉溺于……；耽于to allow yourself to have or do sth that you like,eapecially sth that is considered bad for you ----indulge in sth, indulge yourself.例：Women do not indulge in to the same extent as men.deserve: 值得；应得2.The charm of conversation is that it does not really start fromanywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go as it meander s or leap s and sparkle s or just glow s. The enemy of good conversation is the person who has “something to say.”Conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. There is no winning in conversation.In fact, the best conversationalist s are those who are prepared to lose.Suddenly they see the moment for one of their best anecdote s, but in a flash the conversation has moved on and the opportunity is lost. They are ready to let it go.2. 闲谈的引人入胜之处就在于它没有一个事先设定好的主题。

That is to say, the US government was responsible for what had been done in Vietnam.5 a total press blackoutNo newspaper reported this investigation.6but said it would never get by his desk because the Army would rescind the magazine's accreditation to cover the war.If a newspaper or a magazine wanted to send reporters to Vietnam to report the war, they had to get the permission fromthe Army. Then they would have the right to report the war. If the reporter he talked to let this article leave his desk, which meant to be published, then the Army would take away the magazine's right to send reporters to Vietnam.7If you don't cover the war you don't sell magazines, and if you don't sell magazine then nothing happens because that's the American way.The American public depended heavily on the media for news. Here magazine is used to symbolize the entire media. If what really happened in the war could not be reported in the media, the American public would not be able to know about the real situation. Also, if that magazine was forbidden by the Army to report the war, then they would lose readers because they would not buy this magazine, and that's the American way of life.8 a large New York based firmA large firm having branches or offices in other cities or other parts of the world, with it's headquarters in New York.9we used to do that in World War II, Christ, what's new?We used to do the same kind of things during World War II, so what was happening in Vietnam was not new at all.10The message begins to sink in.It implies that at first the new soldiers didn't fully understand the message of the poster.When something begins to sink in, it means that it takes quite a while for the meaning to be fully understood.11done by remote controlIt means the killing done from planes and helicopters.

But for us, what Agnew had said was a distortion of facts which made us feel very much disgusted.18how many American bodies were provided to prove that point.How many American soldier had to die to prove that point.19receive little if any careIf they receive any care at all, it is very little.

高级英语（上）L1-10 笔记Lesson 1一.句子1.How do you feel about this adulation and hero worship? When Mick Jagger’s fans look at himas a high priest or a god, are you with them or against them? Do you share Chris Singer’s almost religious reverence for Bob Dylan? Do you think he-or Dylan-is misguided? Do you reject Alice Cooper as sick? Or are you drawn somehow to this strange clown, perhaps because he acts out your wildest fantasies?There aren’t idle questions. Some sociologists say that your answers to them could explain a lot about what you are thinking and about what your society is thinking-in other words, about where you and your society are. “Music expresses its times,” says sociologist Irving Horowitz, Horowitz sees the rock music arena as a sort of debating forum, a place where ideas clash and crash .He sees it as a place where American society struggles to define and redefine its feelings and beliefs. “The redefinition,” Horowitz says, “is a task uniquely performed by the young. It is they alone who combine invention and exaggeration, reason and motion, word and sound, music and politics.你如何看待这种赞美和英雄崇拜？当米克.贾格尔的歌迷把他视作大主教或神时，你对他们是持赞成还是反对态度？你是否赞同克里斯.辛格对鲍勃.狄佗的近乎宗教般的崇敬？你认为是他-还是狄伦-迷入歧途了？你是否认为艾利斯.库珀的表演令人讨厌因而拒绝接受他呢？你是否因为这位奇怪的小丑表达出了你狂热的幻觉而多少被他吸引？这些并不是随便提出的毫无价值的问题。

高级英语-the-future-of-the-english中英笔记

其次册lesson 11 The Future of The English英国人的将来J . B. Priestley JB普里斯特利1 【To write about the English in standard and cosmopolitan political terms, the usual Left-Centre-Right stuff, is almost always wasting time and trouble. The English are different. The English are even more different than they think they are, though not more different than they feel they are. And what they feel —Englishness again - is more important than what they think. It is instinctive feeling and not rational thought that shapes and colours actual events in England. 背诵】若想用世界上流行的标准政治术语，即左、中、右三派这种毫无意义的陈腔老调来描述英国人的话，那多半是白费时间，徒耗精力。

英国人可是别出心裁。

他们甚至比自己想象中的英国人还要不同，倒是同他们自己感觉中的英国人差不多。

而他们所感觉到的…这一点再次反映出英国人的特性——比他们想象到的更为重要。

在英国，确定一切事物形式和色调的不是人的理性思维，而是人的本能感觉。

cosmopolitan (adj.) : common to or representative of all or many parts of the world；not national or local世界性的；不限于国家或地区范围的----------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 For example, although the English seem to be so sharply divided, always indulging in plenty of loud political abuse, there are nothing like so many Communists or neo- or potential Fascists in England as there are in most other countries. Again, although the English seem to have more than their share of rallies, protest marches, confrontations with authority, what could begin to look like a murderous encounter in France or America, or might be a bloody street battle in Japan, would in England end at the worst in a few scuffle s and arrests. This is because there are fewer fanatical believers among the English, and at the same time, below the noisy arguments, the abuse and the quarrels, there is a reservoir of instinctive fellow-feeling, not yet exhausted though it may not be filling up. Not everybody can draw on that reservoir. No doubt there are in England some snarl ing shop steward s who demand freedom for the workers when what they really want is to bring the whole system crashing down, together with every guarantee of liberty. No doubt thereare wealthy employers who smile at the TV cameras and declare that all they desire is the friendliest relation with their work force, when at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them. But there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor, and they are certainly not typical English. Some cancer in their character has eaten away their Englishness.举例来说，尽管英国人表面上似乎存在着严峻的看法分歧，彼此之间进行政治上的攻击谩骂也是常有的事，但英国却不像很多其他国家一样有那么多的共产主义者以及新的或潜在的法西斯主义分子。
