Lesson One: A Trip for Mrs. TaylorI.Paraphrasing (p.21)1. Mrs. Taylor felt that the expectation and the preparation for a journeybring about joy and excitement; they are only second to the actual beginning of the journey in importance.(She felt that the anticipation and preparation for a journey was only exceeded by its actual beginning)2. All the travellers were busy making preparations and getting to theirdestinations, they were all eager and a bit impatient, this general feeling makes them sympathetic and friendly to one another.(The knowledge that they all shared the same sense of immediacy seemed to bring them close together)3. The trainman said: “Granny, you have too many things to carry.” Hepicked up the boy and put him in the passage between the two cars/carriages.(“You‟ve got your hands full there, Granny,” he said, picking up the little boy and depositing him in the vestibule of the car)4. Mrs. Taylor was glad that she had been able to be in a front position ofthe queue at the gates. (So she found herself a seat in the carriage.)(Mrs. Taylor was glad she had been able to get well up in the queue at the gates)5. … Her curiosity was so great that she couldn‟t help asking the questionthough she knew it was not polite to do so.(“Well-well, where are you going then?” the young women asked, her curiosity getting the best of her)Lesson Three: What Is StyleI. Paraphrasing (p.99)1. … She is very good at noticing the vanity, selfishness and vulgarity in human beings.(…She had a quick eye for vanity, selfishness and vulgarity)2. People in interesting situations such as marriage and death always attract the attention of others, and these accords with human nature.(Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations)3. The next paragraph reveals how people talk in a free, pleasurable way about the matters concerning Miss Hawkins before she arrived.(The next paragraph reveals how the gossip about Miss Hawkins anticipates herarrival)4. Somehow, she was discovered to be an ideal woman who has every merit of both appearance and thinking. She is not only handsome, elegant, good at music and painting and many other things, she is also very friendly.(…She was, by some means or other, discovered to have every recommendation of person and mind—to be handsome, elegant, highly accomplished, and perfectly amiable)5. He was very proud of his own achievements and often used his own life as a model for others to follow.(He was very proud of his own achievement and frequently held up his own example to others)6. Although ready-made phrases come in great numbers in writing, these words only make one‟s points and arguments unclear instead of conveying one‟s meaning...(Ready-made phrases roll on to the page, but they only obscure issues and darken counsel)Lesson Four: A Mild Attack of LocustsI. Paraphrasing (p.131)1. ….between the telephone calls she stood there watching the locusts. (Margaret answered the telephone calls, and between stood watching the locusts)2. Clusters of locusts covered the trees the branches and twigs of the treesbecame jagged with clusters of locusts, their brown shiny crusts glistened. (The trees were ragged mounds of glistening brown)3. … The swarms of locusts crawled and clustered on everything, one could not see trees, buildings, and bushes in sight, and everywhere one saw locusts.(For although the evening air was no longer black and thick, but a clear blue, with a pattern of insects whizzing this way and that across it, everything else—trees, buildings, bushes, earth, was gone under the moving brown masses)4. You should attack the locusts when they are still young and are confined to small areas. /where they originate. In short, you should try to wipe out locusts when they are still hoppers.(You should attack the locusts at the source. Hoppers in short)Lesson Five Profession for WomenI Paraphrasing. P.1641.The family could still enjoy the harmonious atmosphere when the hostessspent her time on writing.(The family peace was not broken by the scratching of a pen)2.When I was writing my reviews, the Angel would come at my desk andmurmured her ideas about the duty, the virtues of a woman, etc., and thus hamper my writing.(It was she who used to come between me and my paper when I was writing reviews)3.… So that I would be able to have an independent life, I did not need to relyentirely on my feminine charm to please my husband, to cater for his need in order to make a living.(…So that it was not necessary for me to depend solely on charm for my living)4.When women writers proceed with their writing they are always conscious ofwhat men would think of their writing ---- the women writers are prevented from writing freely and imaginatively because men‟s extreme backward, conservative, prejudiced ideas about women are always having strong influence on them.(This I believe to be a very common experience with women writes—they are impeded by the extreme conventionality of the other sex)5.Women‟s aims for free pursuit in professions and the comprehensive equalityin society cannot be taken as a simple matter, it needs careful thinking and good retrospection to define them; and this process is a perpetual one.(Those aims cannot be taken for granted; they must be perpetually questioned and examined)Lesson 6: On the Way to CerveteriI Paraphrasing. P.1931.As a result of Roman‟s expansion, it is inevitable that the Etruscans had sunkinto oblivion or extinction.(However, this seems to be the inevitable result of expansion with a big E, which is the sole raison deter of people like the Romans)2.There was a tipsy/slanted wagon pointed at four corners drawn by oxencrawling along at the snail speed.(A road not far from the sea, a bare, flattish, hot white road with nothing buta titled oxen-wagon in the distance like a huge snail with four horns)3.We walked past the gateway and looked for a place we can eat through thelow an small grey streets twisted streets.(We pass through the gateway and in the bits of crooked grey streets look for a place where we can eat)4.The Spinach has thoroughly been cooked in the fat collected and removedfrom the surface water in which the beef or meat has been boiled.(The spinach, alas! Has been cooked over in the fat skimmed from the boiled beef)5.The asserted palace rise directly from the top of rough cliff, the windows openonto the view of the world outside.(We turned away to the left, under the rock cliff from whose summit the so-called palace goes up flush, the windows looking out on to the world)6.Steep slope or a valley outside with the citadel facing a similar hill runningparallels each other.(Then outside they liked to have a sharp dip or ravine, with a parallel hill opposite)7.They gave the same stupid answer: “It is a kind of flower!”(They gave the usual dumbbell answer: “It is a flower!”)8.It is self-evident with no conflict between them.(It is a flower. It stinks!—both facts being self-evident, there was no contradicting it)9.The lily comes into blossom in the Christian religion season.(But the daffodil, the Lent lily)10.I believe we don‟t like the asphodel because we like nothingself-assuming/self-asserting/self-imposing./I believe we don‟t like the asphodel because we don‟t like anything bold and glistening.(I believe we don‟t like the asphodel because we don’t like anything proud andsparky)Lesson 7: A Visit to Walt WhitmanI paraphrasing (p.219)1. …… the visit I would describe later was not carried out in the spirit of a disciple who went to worship him.(Several accounts of his appearance and mode of address on these occasions have been published, and if I add one more it must be my excuse that the visit to be described was not undertaken in the customary spirit)2. But, on second thoughts I thought I‟d better go to visit Walt Whitman(But better counsels prevailed; curiosity and civility combined to draw me and I wrote to him that I would come)3. All my reserve of a literary man disappeared completely.(Suddenly, by I know not what magnetic charm, all wire-drawn literary reservations faded out of being, and one‟s only sensation was of gratified satisfaction at being the “friend” of this very nice old gentleman)4. in a dreamy state of thrilling /appealing abstract meditation(And he winked away in silence, while I thought of the Indian poet Valmiki, when in a trance of voluptuous abstraction; he sat under the fig-tree and was slowly eaten of ants)5. His eyes twinkled, a smile on his face, “You see, my loud voice was heard in India.” Here, here, Whitman was making disparaging remarks about his poems. This shows his sense of humor.(For example, he told me of some tribute from India, and added, with a twinkling smile, “You see, I …sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world‟)。

Most students are usually introduced to the study of history by way of a fat textbook and become quickly immersed in a vast sea of names, dates, events and statistics.Most students usually come to have their first experience of the study of history through the reading of a thick history textbook and soon are overwhelmed by a large number of names, dates, events and statistics.2.History, which seemed to be a cut-and-dried matter od memorizing “facts,”now becomes a matter of personal preference.People used to believe history study was just an effort of memorizing “facts.”Now history means different things to different people,because they choose the best description andiinterpretation according to their own preferences among those given by historians.3.They cannot help but feel that two diametrically opposed points of view about an event cannot both be right;yet they lack the ability to decide between them.They cannot help feeling that two absolutely opposite ideas about an event cannot both be correct,but they do not have the ability to judge which one is right.4.They will read of the interception of the “Zimmerman Note,”in which the German foreign secretary order German minister in Mexico,in the event of war,to suggest an alliance between German and Mexico whereby Mexico,with German support,could win back territory taken from Mexico by the United States in the Mexican War.They will come across the historical interception of the “Zimmerman Note.”In that telegraph,the German foreign secretary gave order to German minister in Mexico and asked him to propose an alliance with Mexico Government in case there would be war and to promise that Mexico Government would like to help Mexico win back the land that was taken away from Mexico by the US in the Mexico war.5.Can we eliminate all disagreement?If the state of our knowledge were such that it provided us with a model of unquestioned validity that completely explained human behavior,we can.We can get rid of all disagreements if our knowledge could give us a perfect model that completely explained human behavior.Unfortunately,such model doed not exist.Unit41.”My parents,and my wife‟s parents,and our priest,decided that I wasn‟t feeling up to it.And finally I decided so too.”“My parents, my wife‟s parents and our priest all thought that I‟d pretend to be not feeling well enough as an excuse to be absent from the awarding ceremony.So I decided not to attend the ceremony.”2.”…I‟m a sculptor,not a demonstrator.”“I‟m a sculptor,and I don‟t want to show any antagonistic feeling towards the white world by receiving an award.”3.In Orlando you develop a throat of ironIn Orlando you (the blacks) gradually develop a throat as strong as iron.4.… so I thought I‟d go and see the window, and indulge certain pleasurable human feelings.So I thought I‟d go and see my sculpture in the window and have some pleasant feelings of pride by enjoying my own work,which is natural to human beings.5.”Y ou know it‟s by one of your own boys,don‟t you?”“What is extraordinary about the wonderful sculpture is that it is made by a black man like you.Do you know?”6.”She knows it won‟t be an easy life.”“She knows that her child will live a hard life in South Africa because they are black people.”7.I didn‟t feel like a drink at that time of night..I didn‟t want to drink because if the police caught me drinking late at night I would be in great trouble.8.He wasn‟t lookin g round to see if anyone might be watching.He wasn‟t afraid of being seen walking with a black man.9.I said unwillingly,”Y es.”I answered “Y es”,but actually I didn‟t want to tell him the truth.10.Now I certainly had not expected that I would have my drink in the passaage.I wasn‟t onlyfeeling what you may be thinking …Drinking in the passage was certainly beyond my expectation.What was in my mind was not what you may be thinking…11.“Our land is beautiful. But it breaks my heart.”“Our country is beautiful.But the apartheid made me very sad.”12….as though they wanted..to touch me somewhere and didn‟t know how….as though they wanted to communicate with me emotionally but didn‟t know the way to do it 13.And I thought it was a pity he was blind, for if men never touch each other, they‟ll hurt each other one day.And I thought it was a sad thing, because if you don‟t understand each other and don‟t care for each other, they will hurt each other some day.14.What he was thinking,God knows, but I was thinking he was like a man trying to run a race iniron shoes, and not understanding why he cannot move.Nobody knows what he was thinking.But I was thinking that he was much like a man trying to run but couldn‟t because he was still not completely free fro m racist prejudices which were dragging his feet like iron shoes.第五单元1.He treated Nerys like—well, there were times when—not just me, you understand…We allcould have done.The man Nerys was engaged to left her after she had become disfigured. But before the bank raid, he behaved like a lover. Many man, not just me, could have done the same if we had engaged with her.2.This man… treated her as only a handsome man can treat a beautiful woman.This man loved her only because she was beautiful. So he left her when she was no longer beautiful.3.We used to…When we were…We used to love this music when we were in love.4.I‟m sorry.I‟m sorry about what hapended to Netys.5.Sorry. I didn‟t mean to…I didin‟t mean to hurt you by offering money, because I know it‟s impossible for us to compensate in any way for the distress and suffering that Nerys and you have gone through.6.Or is it because it‟s us who are offering?Y ou don‟t accept our help only because Vic was responsible for her suffering.7.Y ou stick with him. Y ou stick with Vic. If you …re looking for heros .Y ou are with a hero if you are looking for a hero and that‟s Vic rather than me, so don‟t leave him.8….and I love him so much, Mrs Parks, and I‟m ever so sorry…I love Vic very much. I feel guilty about this because Vic is your husband.9. Sharon, it‟s a passing thing, I promise.Sharon, I can assure you that this experience is transient and won‟t last long. We all have the feeling when we are young.10.Y ou never hear good about yourself, do you?Y ou never hear people speak ill of you, do you? People gossip about you.11.Y ou know bloody well what you‟ve done to her…Y ou know clearly that you have been hurting her.12.I am not being shouted at.Beware of your manners. Stop shouting at me!13.If she dies, vic, if that girl dies…If Sharon gets drowned, you will be held responsible.14.Right. There is about to be some serious damage done, I can tell you…I will make you pay what you have done to me. Y ou will be punished for what you have done to me.15.No, Sharon, I‟d rather you…Sharon，you‟d better not do anything. Y ou have done enough to him.第六单元1.They rest upon mere tradition, or on somebody‟s bare assertion unsupported by even a shadow of proof…They are merely based on tradition, or on someone‟s statement that cannot be supported even by the least amount of proof…2.But if the staunchest Roman Catholic and the staunchest Presbyterian had been exchanged when infants, and if they had been brought up with home and all other influences reversed, we can have very little doubt what the result would have been.But the staunchest Roman Catholic would be the staunchest Presbyterian, and vice verse ifthey were exchanged when they were infants and brought up in opposite homes and under different influences.3.It is consistent with all our knowledge of psychology to conclude that…We can get the conclusion that each would have grown up with just the opposite beliefs to what they have now, and this is in agreement with our knowledge of psychology…4…we should remember that the whole history of the development of human thought has been full of cases of such “obvious truths”breaking down when examined in the light of increasing knowledge and reason.When we tend to say that any general truth is obvious and to doubt it is foolish, then we should remember that in the history of the development of human thought there have been many obvious truths which break down as knowledge and reason increase.5.The age-long struggle of the greatest intellects in the world to shake off that assumption is one of the marvels of history.The great learners spent hundreds of years struggling against the assumption that the planets moved in circles. The success of getting rid of that assumption is one of the miracles in human history.6.Many modern persons find it very difficult to credit the fact that men can ever have supposed otherwise.In modern time, it is difficult for many people used to believe that human beings think not with mind but with heart.7.We adopt and cling to some beliefs because—or partly because—it “pays” us to do so. But, as a rule, the person concerned is about the last person in the world to be able to recognize this in himself.We accept and continue to hold some beliefs because—or partly because—it brings us benefits. But generally the person involved maybe the least competent in recognizing thia himself.8.There is many a man who is unconsciously compelled to cling to a belief because he is a “somebody” in some circle--There are a lot of men who unconsciously are forced to hold a belief because he is very important in a circle. If he gives up that belief, he would not be important any more.第八单元1. As the edge of a new century, globalization is a double-edged sword: a powerful vehicle…, but an immensely controversial process that assaults national sovereignty; erodes local culture and tradition and threatens economic and social instability.As the new century is coming, globalization is like a sword which has two edges: it can have both negative and positive effects. On one hand, it can increase economic production, spread newtechnology and improve the living standards of the rich and poor countries; on the other hand, it is also a very controversial process because it threatens national independency, destroys local culture and tradition, and it may cause economic and social instability.2. In 1990, private flows (bank loans, bond financing, equity investment in local stock markets and direct investment by multinational companies ) total an estimated $136 billion to these 29 countries.In 1990, the private capital (bank loans, bond financing, equity investment in local stock markets and direct investment by multinational companies ) flowing into these 29 countries is estimated to have reached a total of $136 billion.3.Behind the merger boom lies the growing corporate conviction that many markets have become truly global. By trying to maximize their presence in as many nations as possible, companies seek to achieve of scale…The reason for the merger boom is that more and more companies have a strong belief that many markets have become truly global. Trying their best to enter other countries‟markets, companies are eager to realize economies of scale…4….as a result of “crony capitalism,”inept government investment policies and excess optimism……because of the corruption in those countries where political and financial resources are in the hands of a few privileged people along with their dishonest friends, their foolish government policies and unreasonable optimism…5.The street protesters… may have lacked a common agenda or even a coherent case against trade. But they… reflected the anxiety and anger that globalization often inspires.The street protesters at the Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization in early December may not have a common program or a good reason against free trade. But they showed clearly their worries and anger about globalization. European fears of GM food or opposition to cross-border mergers also showed their worries and anger.。

(Para. 1)… I had just completed my graduate studies and began teaching at the University of Kansas City.2.I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics school, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. (Para. 2)I could have told him that he was now not getting training for a job in a technical school but doing aB.Sc. at a university.3.That is to say, he had not entered a technical training school but a university and in universities students enroll for both training and education. (Para. 2)Here the word education is used in a broad sense, which involves not only the process of acquiring knowledge and developing skills, but also that of improving the mind.4.You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn‟t jump the fence, or that your client doesn‟t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence. (Para. 5) You have to take responsibility for the work you do. If you‟re a pharmacist, you should make sure that aspirin is not mixed with poisonous chemicals. As an engi neer, you shouldn‟t get things out of control. If you become a lawyer, you should make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you lack adequate legal knowledge and skill to defend your client.5.Along with everything else, they will probably be what puts food on your table, supports your wife, and rears your children.In addition to all other things these professions offer, they provide you with a living so that you can support a family—wife and children.6.They will be your income, and may it always suffice. (Para. 5)I hope that your income will always be enough.7.“I hope you make a lot of it, ” I told him, “because you‟re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you‟re not signing checks.” (Para. 8)If you don‟t have any goal in life apart from making money to satisfy your desire for material riches, go ahead and make a lot of it.8.If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Aristotle, or Chaucer, or Einstein, you are neither a de veloped human nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 12)If you are too anxious to make money, too ignorant to see your limitations, then you couldn‟t regard those great people‟s minds as a gift to your humanity, and thus you can‟t be a developed human.Unit 2 Say Yes1. Unlike most men he knew, he really pitched in on the housework. (1)他和他认识的大多数男人不同，他真的努力帮忙做家务。

All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform,and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. Why school ? I asked my father. What have I done ?4. I m not punishing you, he said, laughing. School s not a punishment.It s a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don t you want to be useful like your brothers?5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwingme into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. Go in by yourself, said myfather, and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good e_ample to others.7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. Be a man, he said. Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it s time to leave.8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none ofthem knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, Who brought you?9. My father, I whispered._. My father s dead, he said simply._. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady camealong, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood._. This is your new home, said the woman. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable andbeneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully._. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the firstmoments I made many friends and fell in love withmany girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of e_periences._. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learningnumbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning._. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter ofplaying and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment._. In addition, the time for changing one s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to theparadise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but e_ertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves._. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which wasopened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invadeit? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front._. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, betweenearly morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up. E_tremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross._. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me._. He stretched out his arm and said, Grandpa, let me take you across.第一课半日1 我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手.我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子.然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去.2 母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我.我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树.3 〝我为什么要去上学?〞我问父亲,〝是我做错了什么了吗?〞4 〝我不是在惩罚你,〞父亲笑着说道,〝上学不是一种惩罚.学校是把孩子培养成才的地方.难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?〞5 我不相信他的话.我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢.6 到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子.〝自己进去吧,〞我父亲说,〝加入他们.笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样.〞7 我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决.但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了.〝拿出点男子气概来,〞他说,〝从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了.放学时我会在这等你的.〞8 我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔.他们中我一个也不认识.他们也没有一个认识我的.我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人.然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,〝谁带你来的?〞9 〝我爸爸〞我小声说道._ 〝我爸爸死了,〞他简短地说._ 我不知道该说些什么.这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来.接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人.那些人把我们排成几行.使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里.每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们._ 〝这是你们的新家,〞那位女士说道,〝这儿有你们的父母.一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有.因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活.〞_ 这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了.从一开始我就结交了许多朋友,并且爱上了许多女孩.我从未想过学校的生活是如此丰富多彩._ 我们玩着各种各样的游戏,在音乐室里我们唱着第一次学会的歌.我们第一次接触到了语言的学习.我们看见了一个地球仪,旋转它,便能看见世界上的各个大洲和国家的名称.我们还开始学习数字,听老师将造物主的故事.吃过美味的食物,小睡之后,我们醒来又继续在友谊和爱之中嬉戏,学习._ 然而,校园生活并不是完全甜蜜和阳光普照的.我们还必须遵守纪律,耐心听讲.学校生活也不光是嬉戏和无所事事.同学间的竞争还可能引起痛苦,仇恨,甚至打斗.虽然那位女士有时面带微笑,但也经常会对我们大声吼叫并责骂我们,甚至,更常见的是体罚我们._ 另外,我们再也不能改变主意,再也不能回到天堂般的家里了.摆在我们面前的只有努力奋斗和坚持不懈.一旦机会来了那些有能力的人就会抓住它们去获取成功和幸福._ 铃响了,宣告一天学校生活的结束.孩子们匆匆奔向大门,这时大门被打开了.我向我的朋友和〝女友们〞告完别,走出了校门.我四处张望却没发现父亲的踪影.他答应我会在校门外等我的.于是我走到一边去等他.当我等了好久,他也没来的时候,我决定自己回家.我走了几步,却惊奇地站住了.我的天哪!那条两边是花园的街道怎么不见了?消失到哪里去了?是什么时候这些车辆闯到马路上的?又是什么时候这些人来到街道上歇憩的?这一座座垃圾堆又是怎样堆到街道两旁的?街道旁的田野又到哪里去了?取而代之的是林立的高楼.街道上挤满了孩子.嘈杂声震荡着空气.街头巷尾站着杂耍艺人,他们或玩着戏法,或是让蛇从篮子里出现.接着,一个乐队奏起了音乐,宣布马戏表演的开始,小丑和举重大力士走在前面._ 我的天!我感觉一片茫然,头晕目眩,几乎快要疯了.这一切怎么可能就在从清晨到日落的这半天时间里发生?或许回到家,父亲会告诉我答案的.但是,我的家又在哪里?我赶紧奔向十字路口,因为我记得要穿过那条街道才能到家,但车流不息,我极为恼怒,我知何时才可以过去._ 我久久的站在那里,直到在街道熨衣店里工作的小男孩向我走来._ 他伸出手臂来说道:〝爷爷,我扶您过马路吧.〞单元测验:QuizE_plain the following words and phrases in English1.take sb. across2.beneficial3.cling to4. conjurer5.convince6.curiosity7.daze8.e_ertion 9.halt_.intricate _.irritated _.misgiving_.observant_.overlook_.perseverance_.rank _.revolve _.scold_.startled _. in vainKeys1.take sb. to the other sideeful3. to hold closely; refuse to let go4. a magician5. to make sb. believe; to persuade6. the desire to learn and know7. a condition of being unable to think or feel clearly8. effort 9. a stop or pause_. very complicated _. annoyed_. feelings of doubt and fear_. careful to observe (rules)_. to see a place from a building or window_. to keep trying to do sth. in spite of the difficulties_. a line (of people)_.to move or turn in a circle around a central point_. to angrily criticize sb. , especially a child_. surprised and often slightly frightened_. without resultLesson Two Going HomePete Hamill1. They were going to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There were si_ of them, three boys and three girls, and they got on the bus at34th Street, carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags. They were dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the grey, cold spring of New York vanished behind them. Vingo was on the bus from the beginning. 2. As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice that Vingo never moved. He sat in front of the young people,his dusty face masking his age, dressed in a plain brown suit that did not fit him. His fingers were stained from cigarettes and he chewed the inside of his lip a lot. He sat in complete silence and seemed completely unaware of the e_istence of the others.3. Deep into the night, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson s restaurant and everybody got off the bus e_cept Vingo. Theyoung people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life: perhaps he was a sea captain; maybe he had run away from his wife; he could be an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of thegirls became so curious that she decided to engage him in a conversation. She sat down beside him and introduced herself.4. We re going to Florida, the girl said brightly. You going that far?5. I don t know, Vingo said.6. I ve never been there, she said. I hear it s beautiful.7. It is, he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.8. You live there?9. I was there in the Navy, at the base in Jacksonville ._. Want some wine? she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and retreated again into his silence.After a while, she went back to the others as Vingo nodded in sleep. _. In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson s and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he jointhem. He seemed very shy and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously, as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they got back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home._. Are you married?_. I don t know._. You don t know? she said._. Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife. I said, Martha, I understand if you can t stay married to me. I said I wasgoing to be away a long time, and that if she couldn t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me. Get a new guy—she s a wonderful woman, really something—and forget about me. I told her she didn t have to write to me or anything, and she didn t. Not for three-and-a-half years.。

(para. 2) Paraphrase:Because the author thought it was sensible for him to do so and did so indeed as a matter of course as other people would do the same in the situation.It shows that it was really something common.

I didn’t know whether t o kiss them or scold them for stopping.

Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. (Para. 9) Paraphrase:(Because he had to.

However, he chose to stop finally and his kindness was thereby highlighted.)8. Those who had the least to give often gave the most.Paraphrase:Poor people are often more generous. They are often ready/willing to give comparatively more of what they have to those in need than rich people.9. Now we’re talking, I thought.Paraphrase:Now he knew what I wanted and the talk was going in the right direction.10. “When we do, ” he said, “it’s usually kin.” (Para. 13)Paraphrase:(The local people do not usually entertain/receive guests at home.) They only do this for their kin relatives.11. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers. Paraphrase:(It means the fact that there are people who are indifferent to other people’s needs/ who refuse to help others/who may hesitate to help and people may say about lack of compassion in our society and a generally moral decay in our society. I find, however, on the whole you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.)Unit 91. The impressiveness was normal and not for show, for spectators were few. (para. 1)Paraphrase:The police officer walked that way habitually, not to attract attention or admiration because there were few people in the streets to be impressed. The description shows that the policeman quite enjoyed his work.2. Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye down the peaceful street, the officer, with his strongly built form and slight air of superiority, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. (para. 2)Paraphrase:From how he looked and what he did on the beat, we can see that the policeman was competent at, confident of, proud of, and dutiful to his job. All these factors gave people the impression that he was a trustworthy protector of the peace. ( Notice how a string of present participles are used as adverbials to vividly describe the policeman’s actions.)3. The area was one that kept early hours.

Now neithe r of usknows what has happened or is happening to the other.7. You see, the West is a pretty big place, and I kept running around over it pretty lively.

(para. 9)Paraphrase:If my old friend comes to meet me as he promised, I would think my trouble of travelling so far is fairly rewarded.9. He was a kind of slow man, though, good fellow as he was. (para. 13) Paraphrase:However, he wasn’t very smart, even thought he was a good person.10. I’ve had to compete with some of the sharpest brains going to get my money. (para. 13 )Paraphrase:In order to make money, I had to compete with the most shrewd and crafty people.11. A man gets stuck in New York. It takes the West to make a man really keen. (para. 13)Paraphrase:A man is unable to go very far or to be very successful in New York where life is boring and opportunities for change are few. He has to go to the West to become an eager and exciting person.The man from the west means that New York City was “civilized”; it had too many laws, and that getting rich quickly was less likely.

(para. 16)Paraphrase:Of course I am not going to leave immediately.13. The few foot passengers in that quarter hurried dismally and silently along with coat collars turned high and pocketed hands.

The feeling of joy drove away the feeling of terror that she had had in the morning.11.The strong smell of the upturned earth acted like a drug on their nerves.2012.All her dissatisfaction and weariness vanish from Mary’s mind with the deliciousfeeling of comfort that overcame her at having done this work with her husband.34Unit 3 Text ⅠGroundless BeliefsParaphrases of the Text1.They rest upon mere tradition, or on somebody’s bare assertion unsupported byeven a show of proof (1)They are only based on tradition, or on somebody’s assertion, but are not supported even by the least amount of proof.这些说法仅仅根据传统,或者根据某人毫无证据的断言……2.But if the staunchest Roman Catholic and the staunchest Presbyterian had beenexchanged when infants,and if they had been brought up with home and all other influences reversed, we can had very little doubt what the result would have been.3 If they were exchanged when they were infants and brought up different homes and under different influences, then the staunchest Roman Catholic would be the staunchest Presbyterian, vice versa. This shows that our beliefs are largely influenced by surroundings. 不过,如果在婴儿时期把最虔诚的罗马天主教徒和长老会教义信徒予以交换,然后使他们在相反的家庭与影响下长大,所能得出的结果是毋庸置疑的;3.It is consistent with all our knowledge of psychology to conclude that each wouldhave grown up holding exactly the opposite beliefs to those he holds now (3)我们可以根据所掌握的心理学知识得出结论,两人长大后会持有与现在恰好相反的观点……4.Of course we do not cease, when we cease to be children, to adopt new reliefs onmere suggestion.4Of course it does not mean that when we grow up we no longer have these mistaken beliefs. We are still easy and often willing victims of newspapers and advertising.当然,我们长大后也不会停止仅仅根据建议接受新观点;5.We should remember that the whole history of the development of human thoughthas been full of cases of such “obvious truths” breaking down when examined in the light of increasing knowledge and reason.8我们应该记住,在人类思想发展的整个历史过程中充满了这种“明显的真理”现象,经过人类不断增长的知识与理性的检验,这些“真理”不攻自破;6.The age-long struggle of the greatest intellects in the world to shake off thatassumption is one of the marvels of history.9世界上最伟大的学者们经过长期斗争否定了这一假设,这也是人类历史上的一大奇迹;7.Many modern persons find it very difficult to credit the fact that men can even havesupposed otherwise.10许多现代人发现很难相信人们曾有过另一种假设;8.We adopt and cling to some beliefs because—or partly because—it “pays” us to doso. But, as a rule, the person concerned is about the last person in the world to be able to recognize this in himself.14Peoples who hold those beliefs through self-interest usually will not admit this. They usually try to cloak themselves with beautiful altruistic words.我们之所以接受并且坚持某些观点的原因是——或者部分原因是——这样做对我们“有好处”;9.There is many a man who is unconsciously compelled to cling to a belief because heis a “somebody”in some circle—and if he were to abandon that belief, he would find himself nobody at all.15Many people are forced to hold a belief because he has become an important person in his group. If he gave up that belief, he would turn insignificant at once.许多人无意识地被迫坚持某种观点,因为他是某个圈子里的“重要人物”——如果他放弃这一观点,就会成为无足轻重的小人物;10.Somewhat similar is the acceptance of an opinion through the desire—probably notrecognized by the person concerned—to justify his own nature, his own position, or his own behaviour.17另一种类似的情况是有些人出于证明自己的性格、立场或行为的愿望而接受某一种观点,也许当事人不承认这一点;Unit 4 Text ⅠLions and Tigers and BearsParaphrases of the Text1.Of course, anybody who knows anything about New Y ork knows the city’s essentialplatitude --- that you don’t wander around Central Park at night --- and in that, needless to say, was the appeal; it was the thing you don’t do.1Everybody who knows New York knows the widely discussed topic there, that is, you should not wander in Central Park at night because it’s dangerous. However, precisely because of the risk, there are always people attracted to do so. They just wish to do what people normally don’t do.当然,了解纽约的人都知道关于这座城市老生常谈的话题——夜里不能在中央公园闲逛——而这,不用说,正是吸引力所在：它是你平常不会做得事情;2.So far , so normal, and this could have been an outdoor summer-stock Shakespeareproduction anywhere in America, except in one respect (3)And tonight’s performance could be any outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s play one regularly finds in summer in America. There was only one difference.到目前为止,一切还算正常,这和美国任何地方在室外上演的莎士比亚夏令剧目没什么不同,除了一点：3....the rotating red light was like a campfire in the wild, warning what’s out there tostay away.3旋转着的红色警灯就像野外的篝火,警告四周存在的威胁不要靠近;4.I got my bearings.6 I found where i was. 我终于认清了方向;5.The park was to be strolled through, enjoyed as an aesthetic experience, like a walkinside a painting.7人们漫步于公园,享受美的体验,犹如走进一幅油画中一样;6.I was emboldened by the realization: I was no longer afraid; I was frightening.9意识到这点,我的胆子就大了起来：我不再害怕了,令人害怕的是我;7.The park is now framed, enveloped even, by the city, but there was no escaping therecognition that the city—contrived, man-made, glaring obtrusive, consuming wasteful and staggering quantities of electricity and water and energy--- was very beautiful.12But there was no denying the fact you have to admit that the city was very beautiful, although it was not a natural kind of beauty, it was artificial and showy, and it used up a great amount of water and energy.公园现在被镶嵌在城市中,甚至被城市包裹,但不可否认的是这座城市——这座经过雕琢的、人工打造的、灯火辉煌8.And then, nature finding herself unable to resist, it started to pour.24Unit 9 Text ⅠThe Damned Human RaceParaphrases of the Text1.That is to say, I have subjected every postulate that presented itself to the crucialtest of actual experiment, and have adopted it or rejected it according to the result.para.2In other words, I have put every theory or hypothesis there is to the decisive test of actual experiment.也就是说,通过实验,我对每一种假设都进行了检测,并根据实验结果采纳或者否定了这一假设;2.I was aware that … have not scrupled to cheat the ignorant and the helpless out oftheir poor servings in order to partially appease that appetite. para.4I knew that many man who have more money than they can ever use have shown a maddesire to get more, and they have not ed to cheat poor people and their few saving in order to y that desire.我意识到,许多人虽然聚敛了不计其数的财富,然而他们仍然渴望更多,并且从无知又无助的人身上肆无忌惮地夺取微薄的财富,以便来平息心中的愿望;3.Men keep harems but it is by brute force, privileged by atrocious laws which theother sex were allowed no hand in making. para.6人妻妾成群,只是依靠暴力,由暴力的法律来授予特权;然而女性是无权参与制定这些法律的;4.He will not even enter a drawing room with his breast and back naked, so alive arehe and his mates to indecent suggestion. para.8他甚至不会裸露着乳房和屁股走进卧室,但他和同伴对下流的暗示又十分敏感;5.No--- Man is the Animal that Blushes. He is the only one that does it --- or hasoccasion to. para.8No, man is not the only animal that laughs, but it is true that man is the animal that blushes. He is the only animal that does it or has the need to.不——人是会脸红的动物;是唯一会脸红的动物——或者说有必要脸红;6.Man---when he is King John, with a nephew to render untroublesome, he uses ared-hot iron; para.9In the case of King John who wanted to get rid of his nephew he used a red-hot iron to torture him.当他作为约翰国王的时候,为了除掉侄子,他会用烧红的烙铁来折磨他；7.The cat is moderate---unhumanly moderate, she only scares the mouse, she does nothurt it; she doesn’t dig out its eyes, or tear off its skin, or drive splinters under its nails---man-fashion; when she is done playing with it she makes a sudden meal of itand puts it out of its trouble. para.9猫是适度的——与人不同的是它在吓唬老鼠,并不去伤害它;它不去挖老鼠的眼睛,剥它的皮,或者把木条钉进它的指甲里——像人一样;在它戏弄玩老鼠之后,他、便突然把它当饭吃了,使它脱离痛苦;8.He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the othernations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people’s countries…para.13It is claimed that man is the only Patriot. Only man is capable of such noble sentiment. But what does it mean It simply means that he keeps himself away from others, occupies a piece of land, calls it his own country, and thinks that he is better than others, then he puts up a flag and gathers together a group of killers and steals land from others.他打着国旗,在自己的国度里自诩与众不同,并嘲笑其他国家;他不惜花费重金,屯兵无数,就是为了吞噬大片他人的国土9.He is the only animal that has the True Religion, several of them. He is the onlyanimal that loves his neighbor as himself, and cuts h is throat if his theology isn’t straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother’s path to happiness and heaven. para.14In trying to make it easy for his brother to find happiness and go to heaven, he has turned the world into a graveyard he has caused the death of millions around the world in converting them to his religion人是唯一信仰宗教的的动物;他是唯一信奉正统宗教——几种宗教的动物,也是唯一爱邻居就像爱自己一样的动物,如果邻居的神学理论不纯正,人就割断她的喉咙;他把全球变成了一个大墓地,千方百计为他的兄弟谋求幸福,为其上天堂铺平道路;10.The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be leftout, in the Hereafter. I wonder why It seems questionable taste. para.14And we are told that they will not be allowed to go to the next world heaven. I wonder why It seems to show poor taste to leave out the higher animal and allow only human beings to go to heaven.高级动物没有宗教信仰;我们被告知,它们死后将被排除在天堂之外;我不明白这是为什么看来这是值得怀疑的选择标准;Unit 11 Text ⅠSoldier’s HeartParaphrases of the Text1.There is a brief purring sound, then a rhythmic drumming. para.2There is the sound of the plane dropping bombs or guns firing shells rhythmically.2.…it was the course for upper division students known as the colloquium. para.43.I don’t suppose many of our soldiers in the Gulf War have suffered from it --- theywere spared a long engagement. para.74.Two of the guards were the kind Chekhov describes in “Ward No.6” para.95.Once he waggled the stump under my face with a sly smile. This, he gave me tounderstand, was why he had been excused from military service. para.9Once he waved what remained of his trigger finger in front of me with a tricky smile.

They were hollow and filled with words. para.22Compare to the people with whom I fought side by side during the war, the people I worked with in universities were pale and unreal.

I would never get tired of writing about it. But they just didn’t care to know what happened in the war.。
