2009Text 1Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th cen tury. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative implication.习惯是一种有趣的现象。
我们无意识地养成了习惯,任由大脑自动操作,且不知不觉在熟悉的常规中感到轻松舒适。
“并非选择,而是习惯会控制那些没有思想的人。
”19 世纪时,威廉·华兹华斯说。
在千变万化的21 世纪,甚至“习惯”这个词本身也带有负面涵义。
So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。
但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯,就创建了平行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们思绪的列车跳转到新的创新轨道上来。

Lesson 11. For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx.There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh...that their long-term future must be considered...very greatly at risk.因为英语是个杀手。
正是英语造成了康瑞克、康尼施、诺恩、曼科斯等语言的消亡。
在其中一部分岛上还有相当多的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。
然而,英语在日常生活中无处不在。
所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。
英语对现存的凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大,它们的未来岌岌可危。
2. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguicism (a conditionparallel to racism and sexism).As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default)encouraged or at least tolerated-and certainly have not opposed-the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion.同时,他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视(和种族歧视、性别歧视的情况类似)的偏见密切相关。
博士研究生英语精读教材翻译1-3课(中科院)
第1课知识的悖论The Paradox of Knowledge人类从古类人猿进化到当前的状态这个长久的进化过程中的最大成就是有关于人类自身、世界以及宇宙众多知识的获得和积聚。
这些知识的产物就是那些我们总称为“文化”的所有的东西,包括语言、科学、文学、艺术、所有的物质机器、仪器、我们所用的结构以及社会所依赖的物质基础设施。
我们之中大多数人认为现代社会中各种知识在不断增长,与此同时社会或群体对新知识的积累也在稳步减少我们对人类自身、世界及宇宙的未知。
然而,现有的无垠的未知领域在不断提示着我们需要批判性地分析这个设想。
普遍的观点认为,智力的演变与身体的发育相似,虽然要快上许多。
生物的进化经常被描述为“个体的进化重演物种的进化”,意思就是个体的胚胎在其从受精卵发展到人类胎儿的过程中经历了几个阶段,在这些阶段中个体胚胎类似人类物种的祖先形式。
普遍的观点认为人类从天真无邪的状态进步的,这个状态可以比作婴儿,然后逐渐的获得越来越多的知识,就像一个小孩通过学习通过了教育体系的几个年级一样。
这种观点中暗含着一种臆断,那就是种系发育类似个体发育,知识的积累最终能达到一个基本完整的阶段,至少在特定的领域中是如此,就好像社会已获得了所有的高等学位,这些学位表明它已经掌握了各个重要学科的知识。
实际上,一些杰出的科学家已经表达了这样的观点。
1894年伟大的物理学家Albert Michelson在芝加哥大学的一个演讲中讲到:虽然不能断言未来的物理学不会再取得比过去更惊人的成就,但很可能大多数的重要的基本原理都已经牢固的确立了,那么,进一步的发展将可能主要是如何将这些基本原理精确地应用到我们注意的现象上去。
人们很难在物理学领域再作突破。
在迈克尔逊讲述上一段话之后的一个世纪,科学家们在物理学上的发现远远超出了对小数点第六位测量的改进,而今天没有人会再进行与Michelson相似的阐述。
但是仍有许多人坚持认为知识有迟早达到穷尽的可能性。

Unit 11. A: We are thinking of placing an order for Chinese tea from your company.B: Which would you prefer, black tea or green tea?A: Both are very popular in my country. Could I have a look at your samples and taste them?B: Sure. This is Oolong Tea from Fujian and Longjing Tea from Xihu…A: They are very good in color and flavor. No wonder so many people enjoy your tea. Could you give me some indication of your price?B: Here is our price list. All the prices on the list are subject to our final confirmation.2. A: Good morning, sir.B: Good morning. I’ve seen your catalogue and I’m interested in your Flying Pigeon Bicycle. I think this type of bicycle will have a ready market in Canada. This is a list of my requirements. Could you quote us your lowest price CIF Vancouver?A: We generally quote on an FOB basis. Just a moment, I’ll work it out for you.3. A: Hello!B: Hello! I’ve seen your catalogue and I’m interested in theseproducts.A: You chose well. These products are selling well in your neighboring countries. I believe they will have a ready market at your end.B: Could I have a look at your samples?A: Sure. Here you are.B: Your products are very good. I’m considering placing an order as long as your terms and conditions are acceptable.A: Here is our price list. These products are in great demand at present. So place your order early if at all possible.Unit 21. A: Here is our offer for 1000 cases of jasmine tea.B: Well, your price is too high. It’ll be difficult for us to make any sales.A: You must be aware that the price of jasmine tea has been increasing.B: But Vietnamese suppliers give a lower price than yours. A: Every one in the trade knows that Chinese jasmine tea is far more superior.B: I don’t deny the quality of your jasmine tea. Butcompetition is keen. Many suppliers are in fact cutting their prices to try to attract more customers and get a larger market share.A: So far, our product can handle the competition well. We’ve had many orders and more are coming. It just shows that our product is competitive and our price is attractive.2. A: Here is our price list. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.B: By the way, do you allow any commission?A: Well, our prices are quoted on an FOB net basis. As a rule, we don’t allow any commission.B: But you know, we’re a commissioned agent. We do business on a commission basis. Commission transactions will surely help to push the sales of your products.A: Yet your order is really not large enough.B: What quantity would you consider to be a large order?A: USD 500 000 or above.B: W ow, really substantial. Well, My Chen, this is our first transaction. Can you be more flexible and offer us more favorable terms? It might be possible for us to establish a long-term relationship.A: OK. We would grant you a 3% commission if you place an order of USD 400 000.B: W e appreciate your concession very much. However, we can usually get a 5% commission from our European suppliers.A: Mr. Green, our price itself is already favorable. It’s for our long-term business relationship that we make this exception.

A: Mr. Wright, here is our offer for 5000 metric tons of GradeA red beans, USD175 per metric ton, CIFC5% Rotterdam.B: Your price is on the high side, Mr. Zhang. It’s impossible for us to conclude any transactions at this price.A: I don’t know why you think so. Frankly speaking, we wouldn’t quote you such a low price if you were not our regular customer. I bet you cannot get such a favorable price from other suppliers.B: W e got an offer from a Thailand supplier yesterday. Their price is 3% lower.A: You must take the quality of the red beans into consideration. Every one in this trade is well aware that Chinese Grade A red beans is of superior quality. So the price of Grade A commodities of course must be higher than those of inferiorquality. Besides, there is a strong demand for Grade A red beans.A lot of orders are pouring in from all over the world. Most of the importers think that our offer is reasonable. I believe you’ll make a profit buying at this price.4. A: Your price is 5% higher than that of the last transaction. B: You know production cost has increased a great deal recently. We also need to consider upward trends when we fix the price. A: But it will be very difficult for us to persuade our clients to buy at such a price. You’ll have to reduce your price by at least 10%.B: Your counter-offer is far beyond my reach. We can’t stand such a big cut.A: We make this counter-offer based on the offers from other suppliers. We made enquiries to several suppliers at the same time and found that your price is higher than the other suppliers. B: Could we just put this problem aside? Could you give me an idea of the size of your order first?A: It will largely depend on the price you offer. If you could make a 10% reduction, we would place an immediate order of 100 000 pieces.B: All right. Shall we move together? We’ll reduce the price by 7% on the condition that you increase your order to 200 000pieces. This is our rock bottom price.A: Ok. Let’s call it a deal.Unit 31.A: We’ve received your enquiry, Mr. Smith. But we are sorryto tell you that the goods you asked about are out of stock.You’ll have to wait for two months.B: Two months is far too long. Our customers need the goods urgently.A: There is nothing we can do. Our products have been well received due to their high quality and reasonable prices. So demands often exceed supplies. Though we have tried to speed up production, we still cannot meet the increasing demand. So I’d like to recommend to you the HRF-279.B: Our clients are familiar with GBS-112, but not HRF-279. How do I know that it will sell well in our market?A: Don’t worry. The HRF-279 has been selling well in Europe and in Southeast Asian countries in recent years.I’m sure it will have a ready market at your end.B: I hope so.2.(On the phone)A: We have received your sample and are very satisfied with it. We plan to place a trial order for 5000 sets. The order form will reach you tomorrow.B: We’re glad to accept your order. May I remind you that the sample should be added as part of the first shipment?A: No problem. Whenever we place an order, we always ask for a sale by sample agreement, so we can be sure of the quality of the product.B: Don’t worry. Our products are always as good as the samples we send.A: Great. If they sell well I our market, I can promise you that substantial orders will follow.3.A: Hi! Long time, no see. How is business?B: Not bad. How is everything?A: It’s the off-season now, since spring festival has just passed. I found that your sales of bicycles have been falling off lately, haven’t they?B: That’s because we have switched to automobile accessories. A: Are you still handling bicycles?B: I am, but not on a large scale. Are you thinking of placing an order for some bicycles?A: I’m considering placing an order for 50 000 units if your price is fair.UNIT 41.A: When shall we open the L/C?B: The L/C must reach us one month before shipment. Since the goods are supplied from stock, you’d better open the L/C as soon as possible, otherwise it may delay the shipment.A: shipment, it’ll tie up our money. W ould 15 days do?B: I’m afraid not.

It’ll tie up our money to open an L/C.B: I quite understand your position. But the problem is that the world economic situation is going downward and the financial market is fluctuating. We have to do business on an L/C basis so as to guarantee payment.A: Then could you accept 50% payment by L/C and the balance by D/P?B: Sorry, we are not in a position to do that, yet we could offer you more favorable terms of delivery instead.UNIT 51.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, we’d be responsible and it would cause you a lot ofinconvenience, too.B: You’re right. But wouldn’t it be safer to use wooden cases? A: Surely we can if you want us to, but the charge would be much higher.B: Then, let’s keep using cartons.A: Sure, no problem. Cartons are good enough for goods like this. You don’t have to worry about it.2. A: I’m so glad that we have the chance to do business together.B: Me, too.A: I made this special trip here this time hoping to have a look at the packing of our products because in the last shipment we received, there were a few items damaged by dampness.B: I’m sorry for that.

Go ahead.A: Packing affects the reputation of the products, and one important function of packing is to stimulate people’s desire to buy. In addition, packing should give the buyer an idea of what is packed inside. Your products are good, but your packing doesn’t look attractive enough to the buyer.B: Thank you very much. That’s a good suggestion and it happens to coincide with our own. We have just improved our packing.A: Great! W ould you let me have a look?B: Sure thing. Let’s go to the sample room.UNIT 61.The shipping facilities at this port have been much improved.There won’t be any trouble.2.The lengths of our containers range from 10 to 40 feet.

2014年考研英语阅读真题Text 1In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”,英国财政大臣乔治•奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。
只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心,注册在线求职并开始找工作,才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。
有什么比这更合理呢?More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.”he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we know they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.更加明显的合理性如下。

Spillonomics: Underestimating Risk漏油经济:低估风险David LeonhardtPublished: June 1, 2010[1] In retrospect, the pattern seems clear。
Years before the Deepwater Horizon [həˈraɪzn] rig[rɪɡ]blew, BP was developing a reputation as an oil company that took safety risks to save money。

2021考研英语(一)阅读翻译及解析2021Text 1Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.得了吧, 每个人都这样啊. 这种说法一半是邀请,一半是强制。
当我们听到“同辈(趋同)压力”这个词组的时候我们想到的就是这种说法。
这种信息一般让人想到不好的事情,比如喝酒,吸毒,一夜情。
但是,在她的新书《参加这个俱乐部》, Tina Rosenberg认为,纯粹压力也是一种积极的力量,通过她所说的社会治疗,公司和官方人员可以使用群体力量去帮助个人提高他们的生活,而且也有可能提高整个人类世界的生活。
Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, anHIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.Rosenberg是普利策奖获得者,他提供了许多社会治疗的例子:在南卡罗莱纳州,一个州资助的反对抽烟的项目叫做“向烟雾宣战”就旨在控制好烟草销售。

2007 Text 1①If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the late months.②If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced.如果你打算在2006年世界杯锦标赛上调查所有足球运动员的出生证明,那么你很有可能发现一个引人注目的巧合:优秀足球运动员更可能出生于每年的前几个月而不是后几个月。
如果你接着调查世界杯和职业比赛的欧洲国家青年队的话,那么你会发现这一奇怪的现象甚至更明显。
③What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.什么可以解释这一奇怪的现象呢?下面是一些猜测:a)某种占星术征兆使人具备更高的足球技能;b)冬季出生的婴儿往往具有更高的供氧能力,这增加了踢足球的持久力;c)热爱足球的父母更可能在春季(每年足球狂热的鼎盛时期)怀孕;d)以上各项都不是。

The most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow “for hire” sign shining brightly. That shows it is ready to pick you up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one place to another. It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered.The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called “cabbies.” Many of them are true Cockneys. This means they were born in the heart of London and speak their own special dialect (方言) of English. 在一个寒冷潮湿的伦敦冬夜 ,最受欢迎的景象是熟悉的 伦敦出租车的形状亮着它黄 色的“出租”标志向你靠近。 这表明它已经准备好接你了 。在伦敦乘坐出租车不仅仅 是从一个地方到另一个地方 的一种方式。这是一种值得 享受和铭记的经历。主要原 因是司机,他们被称为“出租 车司机”。他们中的许多人都 是真正的伦敦人。这意味着 他们出生在伦敦的心脏,说自 己的特殊方言(方言)英语。

And they can take you straight to any large hotel, department store, theatre or museum. They know the shortest way possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order to get a license to drive a taxi. The exam is called “The Knowledge.” It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to another. They must take into account the time of day — in rush hour, a longer route (路线) may be quicker — and describe the best way. 他们可以直接带你去任何大 旅馆、百货公司、剧院或博 物馆。他们甚至不用看地图 就能知道最短的路,因为每 个想成为出租车司机的人都 必须通过非常困难的考试才 能拿到驾驶出租车的执照。 考试被称为“知识”。这是一 个笔试,在考试里司机会被 问到从一个地方到另一个地 方的最短路径。他们必须考 虑到一天的时间——在高峰 时间,更长的路线可能更快,并 描述的最好方法。

考研英语一阅读翻译集团标准化办公室:[VV986T-J682P28-JP266L8-68PNN]T e x t1为了“让生活更美好”,减少“家庭的扶养”,英国财政部大臣GeorgeOsborn,提出了“为找工作提前支付工资”的计划。
只要到计算机化的就业服务中心找工作的人有VC--网上找工作的注册书,并且开始找工作,那么他们有资格得到福利,然后他们应该每周做一次报告而不是每两周。
还有什么能比这个更合理?下面是更明显的合理性。
下来找工作者将会有七天对津贴的等待。
“最初的这些天应该用来找工作,而不是找注册地。
”他还宣称“我们做这些是因为我们这会帮助那些没有福利的人并且让那些已经有福利的人更快地得到工作。
”帮助真的吗第一次听到这时,这就是一个关注社会的官员——努力想让生活更美好,和一个对于新待业人员能很容易找到工作的宽松社会的“改革”,以及对懒惰的补贴。
我们后来知道给他动力的是他对“基础公平”的热情——保护纳税人,控制支出,以及保证那些最需要的要求者得到他们的福利。
失去工作是让人伤心的:你不可能心里唱着歌跳着去就业服务中心,有着从一般状态翻番自己收入的愿景,并对此感到高兴。
失业是金融的恐怖,心理的尴尬,你知道得到的支持是最小的并且是非常难得到的。
你现在是不被需要的;为你的生活提供目标和组织体系的工作环境已经把你排除在外了。
更糟糕的是,养活你自己和家人以及各种生活基本支出的经济来源断掉了。
对于最需要什么这个问题,那些新的失业者的答案总是两个字:工作。
但是在奥斯博岛,你的第一本能反应是被扶养——如果你能做到,那么是永久的扶养,被一个不得不放纵你的错误的国家支持。
这就像过去的20年——关于找工作更艰难的改革,并且没有福利管理体系。
现在英国的福利体系原则不再是确保人们可以躲避失业的风险并且能在这种灾难发生时收到无条件的补偿。
即使这个1996年产生的短语“待业者的津贴”是将失业者重新定义为“待业者”,意思是对已经通过为国家保险做贡献得到的福利不在有委托管理权。

一、结合原文,对比两种译文,体会其中体现的翻译技巧。
Doing choresI have been doing chores, being for a brief spell alone in a house that recently was astir with bustle and echoed with the voices of a gathered family. For those who may be in some doubt as to the nature of chores, their variety, their pleasures and their drudgery, I am prepared to deliver a short discussion.The first point about chores is that they are repetitive. They come every day or thereabouts, and once done they require after a certain time to be done again. In this regard a chore is the very opposite of a “happening”—that strange sort of event which a few years back was so much in fashion. For a happening was in essence unrepeatable; it came about in ways no one could predict, taking form from vaporous imaginings or sudden impulse. Chores, by contrast, can be foreseen in advance; for better or worse, I know that tomorrow I must be reenacting the same small round of ritualistic needs; and they arise, moreover, from practical necessities, not from poetic flights.译文一(朱平译)最近合家团聚,屋里乱哄哄、闹嚷嚷的,回荡着说话声。
这几天,我独自在家,便一直在做家务。
也许有人对家务事的性质、它们五花八门的种类,它们带来的欢乐与乏味还有点拿不准,我准备对此做点探讨。
关于家务事,第一点要说的就是它们的重复性。
它们差不多每天都有,而且做完后隔一段时间还得再做。
在这一方面,家务事和“事件剧”恰恰相反——那种古怪的节目几年前还如此时髦(译者注:事件剧是二十世纪六十年代及七十年代早期一种即兴、自发的演出节目,常常将观众卷入。
)。
因为事件剧从本质上讲不可重复,它产生于飘忽不定的想象或突如其来的冲动,谁也无法预料。
相比之下,家务事则是可以预见的;不论是好是坏,我知道明天又得把那些细小的例行的事再做一遍;并且,它们产生于实际的需要,而不是心血来潮。
译文二(孙致礼译)最近,一家人聚在一起,屋里忙忙乱乱,闹闹嚷嚷。
这几天,家里就我一人,便一直在做家务。
有些人可能不清楚家务事的性质、繁杂和甘苦,我打算对此作点探讨。
家务事的第一个特点,是反反复复。
几乎天天都有,做完之后,过一定时间又要重做一番。
在这个意义上,家务事与“偶然事件”——几年前盛行的“事件剧”里的那种异常事件——恰好相反。
“事件剧”里的偶然事件从根本上讲师不会重复的。
它们总是以始料不及的方式发生,或是来自难以捉摸的遐想,伙食来自突如其来的冲动。
与之相反,家务事是事先可以预见的。
不论是好是坏,我知道明天必须做一番同样的例行事务。
此外,家务事来自实际需要,并非一时兴起。
二、阅读David Hawkes 的《红楼梦》译文,点评其译文。
GENTLE READER:What, you may ask, was the origin of this book?Though the answer to this question may at first seem to border on the absurd, reflection will show that there is a good deal more in it than meets the eye.Long ago, when the goddess Nǚ-wa was repairing the sky, she melted down a great quantity of rock and, on the Incredible Crags of the Great Fable Mountains, moulded the amalgam into thirty-six thousand, five hundred and one large building blocks, each measuring seventy-two feet by a hundred and forty-four feet square. She used thirty-six thousand five hundred of these blocks in the course of her building operations, leaving a single odd block unused, which lay, all on its own, at the foot of Greensickness Peak in the aforementioned mountains.Now this block of stone, having undergone the melting and moulding of a goddess, possessed magic powers. It could move about at will and could grow or shrink to any size it wanted. Observing that all the other blocks had been used for celestial repairs and that it was the only one to have been rejected as unworthy, it became filled with shame and resentment and passed its days in sorrow and lamentation.One day, in the midst of its lamentings, it saw a monk and a Taoist approaching from a great distance, each of them remarkable for certain eccentricities of manner and appearance. When they arrived at the foot of Greensickness Peak, they sat down on the ground and began to talks. The monk, catching sight of a lustrous, translucent stone —it was in fact the rejected building block which had now shrunk itself to the size of a fan-pendant and looked very attractive in its new shape –took it up on the palm of his hand and addressed it with a smile: ‘Ha, I see you have magical properties! But nothing to recommend you. I shall have to cut a few words on you so that anyone seeing you will know at once that you are something special. After that, I shall take you to a certain brilliant, successful, poetical, cultivated, aristocratic, elegant, delectable, luxurious, opulent locality on a little trip’. The stone was delighted.‘What words will you cut? Where is this place you will take me to? I beg to be enlightened.’‘Do not ask,’replied the monk with a laugh. ‘You will know soon enough when the time comes.’And with that he slipped the stone into his sleeve and set off at a great pace with the Taoist. But where they both went to I have no idea.列位看官:你道此书从何而来?说起根由,虽近荒唐,细按则深有趣味。
待在下将此来历注明,方使阅者了然不惑。
原来女娲氏炼石补天之时,于大荒山无稽崖炼成高经十二丈、方经二十四丈顽石三万六千五百零一块。
娲皇氏只用了三万六千五百块,只单单剩了一块未用,便弃在此山青埂峰下。
谁知此石自经煅炼之后,灵性已通,因见众石俱得补天,独自己无材不堪入选,遂自怨自叹,日夜悲号惭愧。
一日,正当嗟悼之际,俄见一僧一道远远而来,生得骨格不凡,丰神迥别,说说笑笑,来至峰下,坐于石边,高谈快论。
…….那僧便念咒书符,大展幻术,将一块大石登时变成一块鲜明莹洁的美玉,且又缩成扇坠大小的可佩可拿。
那僧托于掌上,笑道:"形体倒也是个宝物了!还只没有实在的好处,须得再镌上数字,使人一见便知是奇物方妙。
