高级英语第二册1-4-6-10课(张汉熙主编)课后paraphrase原句+译文讲课讲稿

Lesson 11. We're elevated 23 feet.We're 23 feet above sea level.2. The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it.The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3. We can batten down and ride it out.We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. The generator was doused, and the lights went out.Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody out the back door to the cars!Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems had been killed by water.The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. John watched the water lap at the steps, and felt a crushing guilt.As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. Get us through this mess, will you?Oh God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. She carried on alone for a few bars; then her voice trailed away.Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis had just one delayed reaction.Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.Lesson 21. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. A carpenter sits crosslegged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lighting speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. …every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxury. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white -skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one’s eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10. …for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, back-breaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal.12. People with brown skins are next door to invisible.People with brown skins are almost invisible.13.Their splendid bodies were hidden in reach-me-down khaki uniforms,…The Senegalese soldiers were wearing ready-made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well-built bodies.14. How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us? 15.Every white man there had this thought stowed somewhere or other in his mind. Every white man,the onlookers,the officers on their horses and the white N.C.Os. marching with the black soldiers,had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mind.Lesson 31.And it is an activity only of human.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for making a point.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact, the best conversationalists are those who are prepared to lose.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.Bar friends are not deeply involved in each other’s lives.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other's lives.5. …it could still go ignorantly on…The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.There are cattle in the fields, but we sit down to beef (boeuf).These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7. The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him by building their French against his own language.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.English had come royally into its own.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9. The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.The phrase,the King's English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes.The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11. There is always a great danger that “words will harden into things for us.”There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn't regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12. Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips and slides in conversation.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard,formal English all the time in their conversation.Lesson 41. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe...Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. This much we pledge—and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.5. …our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace…The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6. …to enlarge the area in which its writ may run…We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7. …before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction…Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8. …yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war…Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9. So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,…So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11. …each generation of Americans has been summon ed to give testimony to its national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country .12. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lea d the land we love,…Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson61.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.The Fiesta appears to have sunk without a trace.The car model, called Fiesta, seems to have disappeared completely.3.It was the automotive equivalent of the International Style.The idea of a world car is similar to the idea of having a world style for architecture.4.As in architecture, so in automaking.Things that are happening in auto making are similar to those happening in architecture.5.No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture.The modern man no longer has very distinct individual traits shaped by a special environment and culture.6.The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the world.7.The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense in another name for limitations.The benefit of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities.8.The universalizing imperative of technology is irresistable.The compelling force of technology to universalize cannot be resisted.9....when every artist thought he owed it to himself to turn his back on the Eiffel Tower, as a protest against the architectural blasphemy,When every artist thought it was his duty to show his contempt for and objection to the Eiffel Tower which they considered an irreverent architectural structure.10....a mobile, extra human plasticity which was absolutely new.a flexible and pliable quality that was beyond human powers and absolutely new.11.It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science,12.That, perhaps,establishes the logical limit of the modern aesthetic.This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.lesson 101.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 pleasuresillicit,...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 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. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11….it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pens inflamed against war,Babbittry,and ―Puritanical‖gentility,should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.。

高级英语2第三版_张汉熙_课文翻译

Unit 2 Marrakech一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上嗡嗡而起追逐过去,但几分钟过后又飞了回来。

一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,边走边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。

苍蝇之所以群起追逐是因为在这个地方死人的尸首从不装进棺木,只是用一块破布裹着放在一个草草做成的木头架子上,有四个朋友抬着送葬。

朋友们到了安葬场后,便在地上挖出一个一二英尺深的长方形坑,将尸首往坑里一倒。

再扔一些像碎砖头一样的干土块。

不立墓碑,不留姓名,什么识别标志都没有。

坟场只不过是一片土丘林立的荒野,恰似一片已废弃不用的建筑场地。

一两个月过后,就谁也说不准自己的亲人葬于何处了。

当你穿行也这样的城镇——其居民20万中至少有2万是除开一身聊以蔽体的破衣烂衫之外完全一无所有——当你看到那些人是如何生活,又如何动辄死亡时,你永远难以相信自己是行走在人类之中。

实际上,这是所有的殖民帝国赖以建立的基础。

这里的人都有一张褐色的脸,而且,人数书如此之多!他们真的和你意义同属人类吗?难道他们也会有名有姓吗?也许他们只是像彼此之间难以区分的蜜蜂或珊瑚虫一样的东西。

他们从泥土里长出来,受哭受累,忍饥挨饿过上几年,然后有被埋在那一个个无名的小坟丘里。

谁也不会注意到他们的离去。

就是那些小坟丘本身也过不了很久便会变成平地。

有时当你外出散步,穿过仙人掌丛时,你会感觉到地上有些绊脚的东西,只是在经过多次以后,摸清了其一般规律时,你才会知道你脚下踩的是死人的骷髅。

我正在公园里给一只瞪羚喂食。

动物中也恐怕只有瞪羚还活着时就让人觉得是美味佳肴。

事实上,人们只要看到它们那两条后腿就会联想到薄荷酱。

我现在喂着的这只瞪羚好象已经看透了我的心思。

它虽然叼走了拿在手上的一块面包,但显然不喜欢我这个人。

它一面啃食着面包,一面头一低向我顶过来,再啃一下面包又顶过来一次。

它大概还因为把我赶开之后那块面包仍会悬在空中。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击.路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一-妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里.他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的.四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。

“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。

这幢房子是1915年建造的。

至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。

我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。

"老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。

The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3.

The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.The phrase,the King's English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes.The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.

Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11. …each generation of Americans has been summon ed to give testimony to its national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country .12. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lea d the land we love,…Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson61.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.The Fiesta appears to have sunk without a trace.The car model, called Fiesta, seems to have disappeared completely.3.It was the automotive equivalent of the International Style.The idea of a world car is similar to the idea of having a world style for architecture.4.As in architecture, so in automaking.Things that are happening in auto making are similar to those happening in architecture.5.No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture.The modern man no longer has very distinct individual traits shaped by a special environment and culture.6.The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the world.7.The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense in another name for limitations.The benefit of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities.8.The universalizing imperative of technology is irresistable.The compelling force of technology to universalize cannot be resisted.9....when every artist thought he owed it to himself to turn his back on the Eiffel Tower, as a protest against the architectural blasphemy,When every artist thought it was his duty to show his contempt for and objection to the Eiffel Tower which they considered an irreverent architectural structure.10....a mobile, extra human plasticity which was absolutely new.a flexible and pliable quality that was beyond human powers and absolutely new.11.It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science,12.That, perhaps,establishes the logical limit of the modern aesthetic.This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.lesson 101.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 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. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11….it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pens inflamed against war,Babbittry,and ―Puritanical‖gentility,should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.。

第三课酒肆闲聊与标准英语人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。

动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。

闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。

它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。

要是有人觉得“有些话要说”,那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。

闲聊不是为了进行争论。

闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。

闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。

事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。

也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。

或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。

酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。

他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。

他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。

有一天晚上的情形正是这样。

人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。

谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。

可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。

我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。

“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。

”此语一出,谈话立即热烈起来。

有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。

最后,当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样,由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

于是,问题便解决了。

⾼级英语第⼆册14610课张汉熙主编课后paraphrase原句译⽂Lesson 11. We're elevated 23 feet.We're 23 feet above sea level.2. The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it.The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3. We can batten down and ride it out.We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. The generator was doused, and the lights went out.Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody out the back door to the cars!Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems had been killed by water.The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. John watched the water lap at the steps, and felt a crushing guilt.As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. Get us through this mess, will you?Oh God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. She carried on alone for a few bars; then her voice trailed away.Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis had just one delayed reaction.Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.Lesson 21. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name. 4. A carpenter sits crosslegged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lighting speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. …every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxury. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white -skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one’s eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10. …for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, back-breaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal.12. People with brown skins are next door to invisible.People with brown skins are almost invisible.13.Their splendid bodies were hidden in reach-me-down khaki uniforms,…The Senegalese soldiers were wearing ready-made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well-built bodies.14. How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us? 15.Every white man there had this thought stowed somewhere or other in his mind. Every white man,the onlookers,the officers on their horses and the white N.C.Os. marching with the black soldiers,had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mind.Lesson 31.And it is an activity only of human.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for making a point. Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact, the best conversationalists are those who are prepared to lose.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.Bar friends are not deeply involved in each other’s lives.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other's lives.5. …it could still go ignorantly on…The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.There are cattle in the fields, but we sit down to beef (boeuf).These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7. The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him by building their French against his own language.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.English had come royally into its own.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9. The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.The phrase,the King's English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes.The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11. There is always a great danger that “words will harden into things for us.”There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn't regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12. Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips and slides in conversation.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard,formal English all the time in their conversation.Lesson 41. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe...Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. This much we pledge—and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries. 5. …our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace…The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6. …to enlarge the area in which its writ may run…We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7. …before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction…Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8. …yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war…Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9. So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,…So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11. …each generation of Americans has been summon ed to give testimony to its national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country .12. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lea d the land we love,…Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson61.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.The Fiesta appears to have sunk without a trace.The car model, called Fiesta, seems to have disappeared completely.3.It was the automotive equivalent of the International Style.The idea of a world car is similar to the idea of having a world style for architecture.4.As in architecture, so in automaking.Things that are happening in auto making are similar to those happening in architecture.5.No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture.The modern man no longer has very distinct individual traits shaped by a special environment and culture.6.The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the world.7.The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense in another name for limitations.The benefit of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities.8.The universalizing imperative of technology is irresistable.The compelling force of technology to universalize cannot be resisted.9....when every artist thought he owed it to himself to turn his back on the Eiffel Tower, as a protest against the architectural blasphemy,When every artist thought it was his duty to show his contempt for and objection to the Eiffel Tower which they considered an irreverent architectural structure.10....a mobile, extra human plasticity which was absolutely new.a flexible and pliable quality that was beyond human powers and absolutely new.11.It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science,12.That, perhaps,establishes the logical limit of the modern aesthetic.This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.lesson 101.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.

Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King’s English人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。

动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。

闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。

它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。

要是有人觉得“有些话要说”,那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。

闲聊不是为了进行争论。

闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。

闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。

事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。

也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。

或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。

酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。

他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。

他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。

有一天晚上的情形正是这样。

人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。

谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。

可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。

我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。

“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。

”此语一出,谈话立即热烈起来。

有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。

最后,当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样,由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

有一天晚上的情形正是这样。

人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。

谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。

可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。

我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。

“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。

有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。

最后,当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样,由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

于是,问题便解决了。

不过,酒馆闲聊并不需要解决什么问题,大伙儿仍旧可以糊里糊涂地继续闲扯下去。

告诉她“标准英语”应作那种解释的原来是个澳大利亚人。

得悉此情,有些人便说起刻薄话来了,说什么囚犯的子孙这样说倒也不足为怪。

这样,在五分钟内,大家便像到澳大利亚游览了一趟。

在那样的社会里,“标准英语”自然是不受欢迎的。

每当上流社会想给“规范英语”制订一些条条框框时,总会遭到下层人民的抵制。

看看撒克逊农民与征服他们的诺曼底统治者之间的语言隔阂吧。

于是话题又从19世纪的澳大利亚囚犯转到12世纪的英国农民。

谁对谁错,并没有关系。

闲聊依旧热火朝天。

有人举出了一个人所共知,但仍值得提出来发人深思的例子。

我们谈到饭桌上的肉食时用法语词,而谈到提供这些肉食的牲畜时则用盎格鲁一撒克逊词。

猪圈里的活猪叫pig,饭桌上吃的猪肉便成了pork(来自法语pore);地里放牧着的牛叫cattle,席上吃的牛肉则叫beef(来自法语boeuf);Chicken用作肉食时变成poultry(来自法语poulet);calf加工成肉则变成veal(来自法语vcau)。

即便我们的菜单没有为了装洋耍派头而写成法语,我们所用的英语仍然是诺曼底式的英语。

这一切向我们昭示了诺曼底人征服之后英国文化上所存在的深刻的阶级裂痕。

撒克逊农民种地养畜,自己出产的肉自己却吃不起,全都送上了诺曼底人的餐桌。

农民们只能吃到在地里乱窜的兔子。

兔子肉因为便宜,诺曼底贵族自然不屑去吃它。

因此,活兔子和吃的兔子肉共用rabbit这个词表示,而没有换成由法语lapin转化而来的某个词。

当我们今天听着有关双语教育问题的争论时,我们应该设身处地替当时的撒克逊农民想一想,新的统治阶级把法语用来对抗撒克逊农民自己的语言,从而在农民周围筑起一道文化障碍。

当英国人在像觉醒者赫里沃德这样的撒克逊领袖领导下起来造反时,他们一定深深地感受到了文化上的屈辱。

“标准英语”——如果那时候有这个名词的话——已经变成法语。

而九百年后我们在美国这儿仍然继承了这种影响。

那晚闲聊过后,第二天一早便有人去查阅了资料。

这个名词在16世纪已有人使用过。

纳什作于1593年的《截获信函奇闻》中就有过“标准英语”(Queen’s English)的提法。

1602年德克写到某人时有句话说:“你把‘标准英语’(King’s Engligh)简化了”。

莎士比亚作品中是否也出现过这一提法呢?如出现过,那就证明这个词在当时即已通用。

他用过一次,在《温莎的风流娘儿们》中,快嘴桂嫂在讲到她家老爷回来后将会有的盛怒情形时说,“……少不了一顿臭骂,骂得鬼哭神愁,伦敦的官话(即“标准英语”)不知要给他糟蹋成个什么样子啦。

”(朱生豪译)后来的事实果然被她说中了。

我们有理由认为这个词语就是那个时期产生的。

经过前后五百年的发展和与诺曼底人、安茹王朝及金雀花王朝的法语的竞争,英语最终同化了法语。

被征服者变成了征服者,英语取得了国语的地位。

这样便有了一种值得引以自豪的“标准英语”。

伊丽莎白时代的人没费吹灰之力,使其影响日盛,遍及全球。

“标准英语”再也不带有今天所谓的种族歧视的性质了。

不过,那个澳大利亚人所作的解释也有一定的道理。

下层阶级在用这一名词时总带着一点轻蔑或讥讽的味道。

我们会发现,就连快嘴桂嫂这样一个婢女也会说她的主子凯厄斯大夫会管不住自己的舌头,而讲起平民百姓们所讲的那种粗话。

如果说标准英语就是所谓“规范英语”,这种看法常常会受到下层人民的嘲笑讥讽,他们有时故意开玩笑地把它说成是“规反英语”。

下层人民对文化上的专制仍是极为反感的。

正如卡莱尔所说,始终存在着的一种危险是,“对我们来说。

词语会变成具体的事物”。

词语本身并不是现实,它不过是用以表达现实的一种形式而已。

标准英语就像诺曼底人的盎格鲁法语一样,也是一个阶级用来表达现实的一种形式。

让人们学着去讲也许不错,但既不应当把它作为法令,也不应当使它完全不接受来自下层的改变。

我一向对词典有着始终不渝的酷爱一奥登说过,一个作家的全部所需就是一支笔、够用的纸张和“他所能弄得到的最好的词典”——但我更赞同另一种说法,即把词典看成是一种常识的工具。

标准英语是一种典范——一种丰富而有指导作用的典范——但并不是一种最高的典范。

由此我们可以回到我先前的话题上了。

即便是那些学问再高、文学修养再好的人,他们所讲的标准英语在交谈中也常常会离谱走调。

要是有谁闲聊时也像做文章一样句逗分明,或者像写一篇要发表的散文一样咬文嚼字的话,那他讲起话来就一定会极为倒人胃口。

看到E?M?福斯特笔下写出“当今这个时代的阴森可怖的长廊”时,其用语之生动及由其所产生的生动有力、甚至可怖的形象令我们拍案叫绝。

但假若福斯特坐在我们的会客室里说“我们大家正一个接一个地步入这个时代的阴森可怖的长廊”时,那我们完全有理由请他走开。

常常有一些愚人要求大文豪们谈话时也像写文章一样字字珠玑。

也有些人对18世纪巴黎的文艺沙龙里那些文人雅士的高谈阔论极表称羡。

可是,说不定那些文人雅士们在那里也不过是闲聊,谈论酒食的好坏哩。

当时的巴黎大法院第一厅厅长亨奥尔特在德苏侯爵夫人家的沙龙里作客时就曾大叫着说“调料糟透了”,接着还大发议论说侯爵夫人家的厨子和总厨师长布兰维利耶之间的唯一差别只不过用心不一而已。

会客室里和餐桌上是无需摆上词典的。

闲聊过程中若遇上弄不明白需待查实的问题可留待第二天再说,不要话说到一半却去一边查起字典来。

否则,谈话便会受到妨碍,不能如流水般无拘无束地进行。

那天晚上,如果我们当场弄清了“标准英语”的意义,也就不可能再有那一场交谈论辩,我们也就不可能一会儿跳到澳大利亚去,一会儿扯回到诺曼底征服者时代了。

而且,我们也就没有什么可以留到第二天去思考了。

尤为重要的是,如果那个问题当场得到解决的话,人们就不会对于那位引出话题的“火枪手”那样发生兴趣,想多了解她的情况了。

教黑猩猩说话之所以很困难,其原因就在于它们往往可能尽想着要讲出些正经八百的话来,因而使得谈话失去意趣。

摘自1979年5月6日《华盛顿邮报》第四课就职演说(1961年1月20日)我们今天举行的不是一个政党的祝捷大会,而是一次自由的庆典。

这是一个承先启后、继往开来的大事件。

因为刚才我已依照我们的先辈在将近一又四分之三个世纪以前拟好的誓言在诸位和全能的上帝面前庄严宣誓。

当今的世界已与往昔大不相同了。

人类手中已掌握的力量,既足以消除一切形式的人类贫困,也足以结束一切形式的人类生活。

然而,我们的先辈曾为之奋斗的革命信念至今仍未能为举世所公认。

这信念就是认定人权出自上帝所赐而非得自政府的恩典。

我们今天仍未敢忘记我们是第一次革命战争的接班人。

此时此地我谨向我们的朋友,同时也向我们的敌人宣告:火炬已传到我们新一代美国人手中。

这一代人在本世纪成长起来,经受过战火的锻炼,经历过冷峻的和平的考验,以珍视古老的传统而自豪,又决不愿坐视或容许人权逐渐遭到践踏。

美国对这些人权一向负有责任,今天我们也正在本国及全世界范围内为之奋斗。

必须让每一个友邦和敌国都知道:为维护自由,使其长存不灭,我们将会不惜付出任何代价,肩负任何重担,迎战一切困难,援助一切朋友,反击一切敌人。

以上这些是我们保证要做到的——但我们保证要做到的还不止这些。

对于那些与我们有着共同的文化和精神渊源的传统盟邦,我们保证将报之以真诚不渝的友谊。

只要我们团结起来,我们在许多合作性事业中就会无往而不胜;而一旦彼此分裂,我们就会无所作为。

因为我们之间若起争端,彼此离异,便难以与我们面临的强大对手抗衡。

对于那些我们欢迎其加入自由国家行列的各新兴国家,浅们发誓,一种形式的殖民统治的结束绝不应仅是为了被另一种远为残酷的暴政所取代。

我们并不期望这些国家总是支持我们的观点,但我们希望他们始终能够坚决地卫护自己的自由,并时刻牢记,过去那些企图骑上虎背为自己壮声势的愚人结果都没能逃脱葬身虎腹的命运。

对于那些居住在遍布半个地球的茅舍荒村中,正奋力冲破集体贫困的桎梏的各民族,我们保证将尽最大努力帮助他们脱贫自救,不管这样做需要多长时间。

这样做并不是因为怕共产党会抢先这样做,也不是因为我们想获得那些国家的赞成票,而是因为这样做是正确的。

一个自由社会如若不能帮助众多的穷人,也就无法保全少数的富人。

对于我国边界以南的各姊妹国家,我们要作一项特别的保证:把我们美妙的言辞付诸行动,为谋求进步而进行新的合作。

帮助自由的人民和自由的国家政府挣脱贫困的锁链。

但我们绝不能让这个充满希望的和平革命成为敌对国家的牺牲品。

要让所有的邻邦都知道,我们将和他们一起反对外国在美洲任何地区进行的侵略或颠覆。

也要让所有别的国家知道,我们这个半球仍得由自己当家做主。

在一个战争因素远远超过和平因素的时代,对于我们唯一的最好的希望赖以寄托的世界主权国家的联盟组织一一联合国,我们重申对它给予支持的保证:阻止其成为一个仅供谩骂的讲坛,加强其对新兴国家及弱小国家的保护作用,并扩大其职能范围。
