Prejudice Against Women
Women have been prejudiced against for centuries perhaps ever since life on earth. 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?

Unit1TheDinnerParty
Unit1 The Dinner Party关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了。
晚宴莫娜·加德纳我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。
筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。
跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。
席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。
他说：“一遇到危急情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。
这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了——餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发出警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。

thedinnerparty课文大意
thedinnerparty课文大意"The Dinner Party"（《晚宴》）是英国作家Mona Gardner写的一篇寓言故事。
故事以一次饥肠辘辘的晚宴为背景,描述了一位叫做卡康的猎人和一群野兽在一房间里相处的情景,以及卡康和野兽之间的智力较量。
整个故事透过这个简单的情节,呈现了智慧和温情的价值观。
故事开始时,卡康饥肠辘辘地走进一家农舍,希望能够吃到一口饱饭。
农舍的主人很慷慨地让他参加晚宴,饭后邀请他去房间休息。
然而,当卡康来到房间时,他被房间里的一群野兽和一只老虎吓了一跳。
这些野兽们原本是农舍主人猎杀并制成标本的,但现在它们竟然像活物一样站了起来。
虽然非常害怕,但卡康展现出了自己的机智和胆量。
他开始和野兽对话,并利用自己的经验和知识与它们进行交流。
通过聊天,卡康发现这些野兽具有智慧和情感,并深感惊讶。
他与一只熊、一只狮子和一只豹子展开了热烈的讨论,他们对自己的生活方式以及人类和野兽之间的关系发表了看法。
卡康提出了有关友谊、自由和尊重的问题,野兽们也向他展示了它们之间的爱与忠诚。
尽管卡康曾经是猎人,但他逐渐意识到人类和野兽之间的平等。
这样的体验对卡康来说是一种触摸到心灵的体验,他决定要尊重这些野兽的生命,并希望人类和野兽可以和平相处。
故事的结尾,卡康离开了这个房间,感到非常思念他刚刚认识的这群野兽。
他对农舍主人表示感谢,并向他讲述了这个奇妙而温馨的晚宴的故事。
卡康最终意识到,尽管野兽和人类有所不同,但它们同样也值得被尊重和善待。
《晚宴》这个寓言故事传达了许多深刻的思想和价值。
故事中的卡康代表着智慧和勇气,而野兽则象征着被剥夺自由的存在。
通过卡康和野兽之间的对话,作者强调了人类应该尊重和爱护整个自然界的重要性。
此外,故事还探讨了友谊、平等和自由的主题,并呼吁人们放下偏见,建立起人与动物之间的相互理解和和谐共处。
总的来说, 《晚宴》这篇寓言故事以丰富的想象力和深刻的内容引导读者思考关于智慧、友谊和尊重的问题。

Which country occurs to you when you see the two pictures?
Geography and History
For a century and a half,
the area now known as India was ruled by either the British East India Company, or the Royal Crown herself. • The native people were subjected to the whims of British colonialism, which involved a strict system of monopolization to afford greater profits for the English. •But around the turn of the century, the move toward Indian independence began to gather steam. The leader of this movement eventually came to be Mohandas Gandhi.

UNIT 1 The dinner party课文翻译大学英语二
UNIT 1 The Dinner PartyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for thebowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

The Indian cobra is usually 4-5 ft (1.2–1.6 m) long. The snake’s color ranges from yellowish to dark brown. It has a mark like a pair of spectacles on the back of its hood. It preys on rats and is therefore often found in houses. The Indian cobra and the Egyptian cobra are often displayed by snake charmers. The cobras appear to respond to the music played by the charmer, but, like all snakes, they are deaf and only follow the movements of the charmer.

The king cobra, the largest of all poisonous snakes, may reach a length of 18 ft (5.5 m) and feeds chiefly on other snakes. When disturbed, it raises its hooded head to get a better view or to strike. Large individuals may raise themselves to a height of about 1 m (about 4 ft).
Prejudice Against Women
Women have been prejudiced against for centuries perhaps ever since life on earth. They have long been referred to as “weaker sex” or “fairer sex,” considered naturally weaker than men, squeamish, unable to perform the work that requires muscles or pluck the courage to face up to any crisis. As we know, Plato, 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.
