After reading the above description the reader is likely to assume certainthings.5.These were not simple folk, not dulcet shepherds, noble savages, bland utopian.The citizens of Omelas were not simple people, not kind and gentle shepherds, not savages of high birth, nor mild idealistsdreaming of a perfect society.6.This is the treason of the artist:a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and pain is very dull anduninteresting.7.They were mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they were not miserable people.8.Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion.Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells him, assuming his imagination willbe equal to the task.9.The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the ways of the city.The faint but compelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city.10.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect.Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has become very foolish and stupid because offear, poor nourishment and neglect.11.Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment.The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement even if it is treated kindly andtenderly.12.Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality,and to accept it.They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears dry up when they realize howjust and fair though terrible reality was.第十课1.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 slcial 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 alcoholicsophistication…In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities.

This kind of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.14.To them the House of Commons is a remote squabbling-shop.These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are always quarreling andarguing over some small matter.15….heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away polotics.If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politicsfor they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.第十二课1.It is a complex fate to be an American…The fate of an American is complicated and hard to understand.2…they were no more at home in Europe than I was.They were uneasy and uncomfortable in Europe as I was.3.We were both searching for our separate identities.They were all trying to find their own special individualities.4.I do not think that I could have made this reconciliation here.I don't think I could have accepted in America my Negro status without feeling ashamed.5.Europe can be very crippling too…Europe can also have a very frustrating or disabling effect.6…it is easier to cut across social and occupational lines there than it is here.It is easier in Europe for people of different social groups and occupations to intermingle and have social intercourse.7.A man can be as proud of being a good waiter as of being a good actor, and in neither case feel threatened.In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and position. They are not jealous of eachother and do not live in fear of losing their position.8.I was born in New York, but have lived only in pockets of it.I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city.9.This reassessment, which can be very painful, is also very valuable.The reconsideration of the significance and importance of many things that one had taken for granted in the past can bevery painful, though very valuable.10.On this acceptance, literally, the life of a writer depends.The life of a writer really depends on his accepting the fact that no matter where he goes or what he does he will alwayscarry the marks of his origins.11.American writers do not have a fixed society to describe.American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed, so they do not have a fixed society to describe.12.Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumptions on the part of the people…Every society is influenced and directed by hidden laws, and by many things deeply felt and taken for granted by the people,though not openly spoken about.第十四课1.Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste…Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.2.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends,…New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of America.sitcomes cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preempt the airwaves from California.Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace the scheduled radio andTV programs for California.4. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attraction.New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.5.To win in New York is to be uneasy…A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid of losing what he has wonin the fierce competition).6.nature's pleasures are much qualified in New York.The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.7…the city's bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens.At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken the night sky.8.But the purity of a bihemian dedication can be exaggerated.But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.9.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, New York starts or originates very few things but givesits stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts of the country.10.The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype,…The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional advertising.11…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves in the magazines.Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles for popular magazines.12.Broadway, which seemed to be succuming to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again.Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, is once again busy andactive.13…he prefers the unhealthy haale and the vitality of urban life.(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers the unhealthy turmoil andanimated life of a city.14.The defeated are not hidden away aomewhere else on the wrong side of town.Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hidden away in slums or ghettoes where other peoplecan't see them.15.The place constantly exasperates, st times exhilarates.New York constantly irritates and annoys very much but at times it also invigorates and stimulates.。

柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
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。

1第七课aA 21…boy and man, I had been through it often before.3As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- ten travelled through the region. 42. But somehow I had never quite sensed its appaling desolation.5But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region 6was.73….it reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressing joke.8This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a 9ghastly,saddening joke.4.The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grim of the endless mills.1The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable 2mills in this region.35.They have taken as their model a brick set on end.4The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses 5they built looked like bricks standing upright.66.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards, with a narrow, low-pitched roof. 7These brick-like houses were made of shabby,thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow 8and had little slope.97.When it has taken on the patina of the mills it is the color of an egg long past all hope 0or caring.1When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten 2egg.38.Red brick, even in a steel town, ages with some dignity.4Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even 5in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.69.I award this championship only after laborious research and incessant prayer.7I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work 8and research and after continuous praying.910.They show grotesqueries of ugliness that, in retroapect, become almost diabolical.They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost 1fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, 2one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.311.It is incredible that mere ignorance should have achieved such masterpieces of horror. 4It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know 5what beautiful houses were like.612.on certain levels of the American race, indeed, there seems to be a positive libido for 7the ugly…8People in certain strata of American society seem definite- ly to hunger after ugly things; 9while in other less Chris- tian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.13.they meet, in some unfathomable way, its obscure and unintelligible demands.1These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot un- derstand, satisfy the hidden and 2unintelligible demands of this type of mind.314….they made it perfect in their own sight by putting a completely impossible penthouse, 4painted a staring yellow, on top of it.5They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought 6it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.715.out of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hates truth.8From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the 9American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth．12第八课31….by the very fact of production, he has risen above the animal kingdom…4Because of the fact itself that man produces, he has developed far beyond all other animals. 52.Work is also his liberator from nature, his creator as a social and independent being.6Work also frees man from nature and makes him into a social being independent of nature. 73…all are expressions of the creative transformation of nature by man’s reason and skill. 8All the above-mentioned work shows how man has trans formed nature through his reason and skill. 94.There is no split of work and play, or work and culture.Therefore pleasure and work went together so did the cultural development of the worker go 1hand in hand with the work he was doing.25.Work became the chief factor in a system of “innerwordly asceticiam,”an answer to man’s 3sense of aloneness and isolation.4Work became the chief element in a system that preached an austere and self-denying way of 5life. Work was the only thing that brought relief to those who felt alone and isolat ed leading 6this kind of ascetic life.76.Work has become alienated from the working person.8In capitalist society the worker feels estranged from or hostile to the work he is doing. 97. Work is a means of getting money, not in itself a meaningful human activity.Work helps the worker to earn some money; and earning money only is an activity without much 1significance or pur pose.28…a pay check is not enough to base one’s self-respect on.3Just earning some money is not enough to make a worker have a proper respect of himself. 49…most industrial psychologists are mainly concerned with the manipulation of the worker’s 5psyche,6Most industrial psychologists are mainly trying to manage and control the mind of the worker. 710.It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management.8Better relations with the public will yield larger profits to management. The management will 9earn larger profits ifit has better relations with the public.111.But this usefulness often serves only as a rationalization for the appeal to complete 2passivity and receptivity.3The fact that many gadgets are indeed useful is often used by advertisers as a more 4"high-minded" cover for what is really a vulgar, base appeal to idleness and willingness to accept 5things.612….he has a feeling of fraudulency about his product and a secret contempt for it.7The businessman knows the quality or usefulness of his product is not what it should be. He 8despises the goods he produces, conscious of the deception involved.91第九课21.with a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the 3city Omelas.4The 1oud ringing of the bells, which sent the frightened swallows flying high, marked the 5beginning of the Festival of Summer in Omelas.62…their high calls rising like the swallows’crossing flights over the music and the singing. 7The shouting of the children could be heard clearly above the music and singing like the calls 8of the swallows flying by overhead.93…exercised their restive hoeses befor the race.The riders were putting the horses through some exercises because the horses were eager to 1start and stubbornly resisting the control of the riders.24.Given a description such as this one tends to make certain assumptions.3After reading the above description the reader is likely to assume certain things.45.These were not simple folk, not dulcet shepherds, noble savages, bland utopian.5The citizens of Omelas were not simple people, not kind and gentle shepherds, not savages 6of high birth, nor mild idealists dreaming of a perfect society.76.This is the treason of the artist:a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible 8boredom of pain.9An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and 0pain is very dull and uninteresting.17.They were mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.2They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they 3were not miserable people.48.Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to 5the occasion.6Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells 7him, assuming his imagination will be equal to the task.89.The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the ways of the city.9The faint but compelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city. 010.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, 1and neglect.2Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has become very 3foolish and stupid because of fear, poor nourishment and neglect.411.Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment.5The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement 6even if it is treated kindly and tenderly.712.Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice 8of reality,and to accept it.9They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears 0dry up when they realize how just and fair though terrible reality was.12345第十课61.The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle aged.7At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it 8longingly.92.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 1affected refinement.23.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian slcial 3structure,…4The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.54…it was tempted, in America at least, to escape its responsibilities and retreat behind an 6air of naughty alcoholic sophistication…7In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. 8They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.95.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures 0illicit,…1The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making 2drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.36…our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.4Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.57…they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up”.6The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended. 78….they had outgrown towns and families…8These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their 9families.9…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical dogoodism of Prohibition,…1The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed 2would do good to the people.310.Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…4(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very 5tense, had to break down.611…it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pens inflamed against war, 7Babbittry, and “Puritanical” gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center…8It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings were filled with 9violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers 0to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.112.Each town had its”fast” set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…2Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional 3lives.4567第十一课81…below the noisy arguments,the abuse and the quarrels,there is a reservoir of 9instinctive-feeling…The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists 1a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.22…at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them.3What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider 4to be lazy and troublesome people.53….there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor,…6There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy 7employers on the board of managers (or governing board of a factory).84.It demands bigness, and they are suspicious of bigness.9The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not 0like or trust bigness.15.Against this, at least superficially, Englishness seems a poor shadowy show…2At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, 3English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.46….while Englishness is not hostile to change, it is deeply suspicious of change for change’s 5sake,…6Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for 7no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.87.To put cars and motorways before houses seems to Englishness a communal imbecility.9To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public 0stupidity~18.I must add that while Englishness can still fight on, Admass could be winning.2I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility 3of Admass winning.49.It must have some moral capital to draw upon, and soon it may be asking for an overdraft. 5Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and 6soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.710.They probably believe, as I do, that the Admass “Good Life” is a fraud on all counts. 8These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and 9dishonest in all respects.11.They can be found, too-though not in largenumbers because the breed is duing out- among 1crusty High Tories who avoid the City and directors’ fees.2They can be found too though there are not many of them now because these kind of people are 3dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, extremely conservative politicians who refuse to accept 4high posts in big commercial enterprises.512….they are inept, shiftless, slovenly, messy.6They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.713…he will not even find much satisfaction in this scrounging messy existence, which does 8nothing for a man’s self-respect.9He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages 0to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build 1up any self-respect.214.To them the House of Commons is a remote squabbling-shop.3These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are 4always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.515….heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away polotics.6If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they 7were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and 8thrown into prison.9123第十二课41.It is a complex fate to be an American…5The fate of an American is complicated and hard to understand.62…they were no more at home in Europe than I was.7They were uneasy and uncomfortable in Europe as I was.83.We were both searching for our separate identities.9They were all trying to find their own special individualities.4.I do not think that I could have made this reconciliation here.1I don't think I could have accepted in America my Negro status without feeling ashamed. 25.Europe can be very crippling too…3Europe can also have a very frustrating or disabling effect.46…it is easier to cut across social and occupational lines there than it is here.5It is easier in Europe for people of different social groups and occupations to intermingle 6and have social intercourse.77.A man can be as proud of being a good waiter as of being a good actor, and in neither case 8feel threatened.9In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and position. 0They are not jealous of each other and do not live in fear of losing their position.18.I was born in New York, but have lived only in pockets of it.2I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city.39.This reassessment, which can be very painful, is also very valuable.4The reconsideration of the significance and importance of many things that one had taken for 5granted in the past can be very painful, though very valuable.610.On this acceptance, literally, the life of a writer depends.7The life of a writer really depends on his accepting the fact that no matter where he goes 8or what he does he will always carry the marks of his origins.911.American writers do not have a fixed society to describe.American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed, so they do not have a fixed 1society to describe.212.Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumptions on 3the part of the people…4Every society is influenced and directed by hidden laws, and by many things deeply felt and 5taken for granted by the people, though not openly spoken about.6第十四课71.Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste…8Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.92.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends,…New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of 1America.23…sitcomes cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preempt the 3airwaves from California.4Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace 5the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.64. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attraction.7New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.85.To win in New York is to be uneasy…9A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid 0of losing what he has won in the fierce competition).16.nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.2The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.37…the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens.4At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken 5the night sky.68.But the purity of a bihemian dedication can be exaggerated.7But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.89.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.9In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, New York starts or originates 0very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts 1of the country.210.The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype,…3The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional 4advertising.511…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves in the magazines.6Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles 7for popular magazines.812.Broadway, which seemed to be succuming to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again. 9Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, 0is once again busy and active.113…he prefers the unhealthy haale and the vitality of urban life.2(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers 3the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.414.The defeated are not hidden away aomewhere

III. Theme of this allegorical
descriptபைடு நூலகம்on
The theme of this allegorical description is provocative: the nature of happiness and on what it depends. The writer states her view very clearly in one sentence: “Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, what is destructive ”. What the citizens of Omelas do not have or do not wish to have may be classed as things that are destructive of happiness.

Work was the only thing that brought relief to those who felt alone and isolat ed leading this kind of ascetic life.6.Work has become alienated from the working person.In capitalist society the worker feels estranged from or hostile to the work he is doing.7. Work is a means of getting money, not in itself a meaningful human activity.Work helps the worker to earn some money; and earning money only is an activity without much significance or pur pose. 8…a pay check is not enough to base one’s self-respect on.Just earning some money is not enough to make a worker have a proper respect of himself.9…most industrial psychologists are mainly concerned with the manipulation of the worker’s psyche,Most industrial psychologists are mainly trying to manage and control the mind of the worker.10.It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management.Better relations with the public will yield larger profits to management.

He despises the goods he produces, conscious of the deception involved.第九课1.with a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the city Omelas.The 1oud ringing of the bells, which sent the frightened swallows flying high, marked the beginning of the Festival of Summer in Omelas.2…their high calls rising like the swallows’ crossing flights over the music and the singing.The shouting of the children could be heard clearly above the music and singing like the calls of the swallows flying by overhead.3…exercised their restive hoeses befor the race.The riders were putting the horses through some exercises because the horses were eager to start and stubbornly resisting the control of the riders.4.Given a description such as this one tends to make certain assumptions.After reading the above description the reader is likely to assume certain things.5.These were not simple folk, not dulcet shepherds, noble savages, bland utopian.The citizens of Omelas were not simple people, not kind and gentle shepherds, not savages of high birth, nor mild idealists dreaming of a perfect society.6.This is the treason of the artist:a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and pain is very dull and uninteresting.7.They were mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they were not miserable people.8.Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion.Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells him, assuming his imagination will be equal to the task.9.The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the ways of the city.The faint but compelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city.10.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect.Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has become very foolish and stupid because of fear, poor nourishment and neglect.11.Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment.The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement even if it is treated kindly and tenderly.12.Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality,and to accept it.They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears dry up when they realize how just and fair though terrible reality was.第十课1.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 slcial 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 dogoodism 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 were filled with violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.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.第十一课1…below the noisy arguments,the abuse and the quarrels,there is a reservoir of instinctive-feeling…The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.2…at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them.What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider to be lazy and troublesome people.3….there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor,…There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governing board of a factory).4.It demands bigness, and they are suspicious of bigness.The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not like or trust bigness.5.Against this, at least superficially, Englishness seems a poor shadowy show…At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.6….while Englishness is not hostile to change, it is deeply suspicious of change for change’s sake,…Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7.To put cars and motorways before houses seems to Englishness a communal imbecility.To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public stupidity~8.I must add that while Englishness can still fight on, Admass could be winning.I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility of Admass winning.9.It must have some moral capital to draw upon, and soon it may be asking for an overdraft.Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.10.They probably believe, as I do, that the Admass “Good Life” is a fraud on all counts.These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11.They can be found, too-though not in largenumbers because the breed is duing out- among crusty High Tories who avoid the City and directors’ fees.They can be found too though there are not many of them now because these kind of people are dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, extremely conservative politicians who refuse to accept high posts in big commercial enterprises.12….they are inept, shiftless, slovenly, messy.They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.13…he will not even find much satisfaction in this scrounging messy existence, which does nothing for a man’s self-respect. He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.14.To them the House of Commons is a remote squabbling-shop.These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.15….heavy hands can fall on the shoulders that have been shrugging away polotics.If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.第十二课1.It is a complex fate to be an American…The fate of an American is complicated and hard to understand.2…they were no more at home in Europe than I was.They were uneasy and uncomfortable in Europe as I was.3.We were both searching for our separate identities.They were all trying to find their own special individualities.4.I do not think that I could have made this reconciliation here.I don't think I could have accepted in America my Negro status without feeling ashamed.5.Europe can be very crippling too…Europe can also have a very frustrating or disabling effect.6…it is easier to cut across social and occupational lines there than it is here.It is easier in Europe for people of different social groups and occupations to intermingle and have social intercourse.7.A man can be as proud of being a good waiter as of being a good actor, and in neither case feel threatened.In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and position. They are not jealous of each other and do not live in fear of losing their position.8.I was born in New York, but have lived only in pockets of it.I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city.9.This reassessment, which can be very painful, is also very valuable.The reconsideration of the significance and importance of many things that one had taken for granted in the past can be very painful, though very valuable.10.On this acceptance, literally, the life of a writer depends.The life of a writer really depends on his accepting the fact that no matter where he goes or what he does he will always carry the marks of his origins.11.American writers do not have a fixed society to describe.American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed, so they do not have a fixed society to describe.12.Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumptions on the part of the people…Every society is influenced and directed by hidden laws, and by many things deeply felt and taken for granted by the people, though not openly spoken about.第十四课1.Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste…Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.2.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends,…New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of America.3…sitcomes cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preempt the airwaves from California. Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.4. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attraction.New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.5.To win in New York is to be uneasy…A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid of losing what he has won in the fierce competition).6.nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.7…the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens.At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken the night sky.8.But the purity of a bihemian dedication can be exaggerated.But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.9.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, New York starts or originates very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts of the country.10.The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype,…The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional advertising.11…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves in the magazines.Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles for popular magazines.12.Broadway, which seemed to be succuming to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again.Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, is once again busy andactive.13…he prefers the unhealthy haale and the vitality of urban life.(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.14.The defeated are not hidden away aomewhere else on the wrong side of town.Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hidden away in slums or ghettoes where other people can't see them.15.The place constantly exasperates, st times exhilarates.New York constantly irritates and annoys very much but at times it also invigorates and stimulates.。

高级英语2第三版_张汉熙_课文翻译
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。

1. Pay attention to words and expressions in the following aspects respectively:
Mencken’s journalistic skills became his chief handicap as acritic, for he sacrificed discrimination for immediate attention, esthetic and philosophical distinctions for the reductions of easyreading, and subtleties of statement for buffoonery and bombast.Yet, though one may deplore his methods, they gained a wide audience and opened the way for the developmentofcriticism. Inthis sense, he was the progenitor of modern American criticism,though he himself has no disciples.

高级英语2第三版_张汉熙_课文翻译
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XX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XX 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一一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一一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。

In the streets between houses with red roofs and painted walls, between old moss-grown gardens and under avenues of trees, past great parks and public buildings, processions moved. (Para. 1)√一支支游行队伍穿过大街小巷，街边立着红顶彩墙的房子和布满青苔的古老花园，队伍一路经过一条条林荫大道，一座座公园和公共建筑。
2. All the processions wound towards the north side of the city, where on the great water-meadow called the Green Fields boys and girls, naked in the bright air, with mud-stained feet and ankles and long, lithe arms, exercised their restive horses before the race. (Para. 1)所有游行队伍都沿着蜿蜒曲折的街道向北行进，来到一个名为“绿野”的水边大草坪上。
草坪上有一些男孩女孩光着身子，脚踝沾满泥巴，手臂修长灵活；他们在对烈马进行赛前训练。
3. Given a description such as this one tends to look next for the King, mounted on a splendid stallion and surrounded by his noble knights, or perhaps in a golden litter borne by great-muscled slaves. (Para. 3)听到这样的描述，人们会猜想接下来会看到国王，骑着高头大马，身边簇拥着一群威武的骑士，或者坐在一顶由体格健壮的奴隶们抬着的金轿上。
4. The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pendants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. (Para. 3)问题是，由于一些善于卖弄学问和深谙世故之人的推波助澜，他们养成了一种恶习，认为欢乐是一种愚蠢的东西。
5. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. (Para. 3)可是，赞美绝望即等于消灭欢乐，拥抱暴力即意味着丧失一切。
6. A boundless and generous contentment, a magnanimous triumph felt not against some outer enemy but in communion with the finesse and fairest in the souls of all men everywhere and the s plendor of the world’s summer: this is what swells the hearts of the people of Omelas, and the victory they celebrate is that of life. (Para. 3)使奥米勒斯人心中充满欢乐和自豪的是一种巨大无边的满足感，是一种巨大的胜利的喜悦，这胜利不是击败外敌的胜利，而是指与所有人心灵中一切美好事物以及灿烂的夏日产生共鸣的胜利。
他们所庆祝的是生命的胜利。
7. As if that little private silence were the signal, all at once a trumpet sounds from the pavilion near the starting line: imperious, melancholy, piercing. (Para. 6)笛声一停，紧接着场上出现一阵寂静，这似乎成了一个信号，片刻寂静之后，立刻便听到起跑线旁边的一个亭子里响起了一阵威严、沉郁、响亮的号声。
8. They all know that it has to be there. Some of them understand why, and some do not, but they all understand their happiness, the beauty of their city, the tenderness of their friendships, the health of their children, the wisdom of their scholars, the skill of their makers, even the abundance of their harvest and the kindly weathers of their skies, depend wholly on this child’s abominable misery. (Para. 9)大家都明白那孩子必须呆在那个。
至于为什么，这原因只有一部分人才明白，有些人并不知晓。
但所有的人都清楚一个道理：他们的幸福生活，他们的城市美景，他们之间亲密和睦的关系，孩子们的健康成长，学者们的智慧，工匠的技艺，甚至连天地里五谷丰登、风调雨顺的繁荣景象，这一切全都有赖于那孩子所受的苦难。
9. If the child were brought up into the sunlight out of the vile place, if it were cleaned and fed and comforted, that would be a good thing, indeed; but if it were done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed. (Para. 10)假若把那孩子弄出那个悲惨的地方，让其重见天日，假若那孩子浑身洗得干干净净，吃得饱饱的，舒舒服服地呆着，那无疑是一件很好的事情。
但只要那样做了，奥米勒斯的一切，包括她的繁荣、美丽和欢乐，会立刻消失，化为乌有。
10. Yes it is their tears and anger, the trying of their generosity and the acceptance of their helplessness, which were perhaps the true source of the splendor of their lives. (Para. 12)然而，正因为他们在自己的仁义之心经受考验时悲伤流泪，在无可奈何地接受现实时悲愤难抑，他们的生活才如此光辉灿烂。
B. Translate Paragraph 8 into ChineseIn a basement under one of the beautiful public buildings of Omelas, or perhaps in the cellar of one of its spacious private homes, there is a room. It has one locked door, and no window. A little light seeps in dustily between cracks in the boards, secondhand from a cobwebbed window somewhere across the cellar. In one corner of the little room a couple of mops, with stiff, clotted, foul-smelling heads stand near a rusty bucket. The floor is dirt, a little damp to the touch, as cellar dirtusually is. The room is about three paces long and two wide: a mere broom closet or disused tool room. In the room a child is sitting. It could be a boy or a girl. It looks about six, but actually is nearly ten. It is feeble-minded. Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect. It picks its nose and occasionally fumbles vaguely with its toes or genitals, as it sits hunched in the corner farthest from the bucket and the two mops. It is afraid of the mops. It finds them horrible. It shuts its eyes, but it knows the mops are still standing there; and the door is locked; and nobody will come. The door is always locked; and nobody ever comes, except that sometimes--the child has no understanding of time or interval--sometimes the door rattles terribly and opens, and a person, or several people, are there. One of them may come in and kick the child to make it stand up. The others never come close, but peer in at it with frightened, disgusted eyes. The food bowl and the water jug are hastily filled, the door is locked, the eyes disappear. The people at the door never say anything, but the child, who has not always lived in the tool room, and can remember sunlight and its mother's voice, sometimes speaks. "I will be good," it says. "Please let me out. I will be good!" They never answer. The child used to scream for help at night, and cry a good deal, but now it only makes a kind of whining, "eh-haa, eh-haa," and it speaks less and less often. It is so thin there are no calves to its legs; its belly protrudes; it lives on a half-bowl of corn meal and grease a day. It is naked. Its buttocks and thighs are a mass of festered sores, as it sits in its own excrement continually.在奥米勒斯城某幢漂亮的公共建筑下面的地下室里，也许是在一所宽敞的私宅的地窖里，有一个房间。
