1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

我怯生生地问:“我的薪水是多少?”“每周十二磅外加中饭。”还没等我来得及提出异议,他已经站了起来。“好了,”他说,“你最好见见我的妻子。她才是这所学校真正的主管人。”

然而,三天之后,却来了一封信,叫我到克洛伊登去面试。这一路去那儿原来还真麻烦:先乘火车到克洛伊登车站,再乘十分钟的公共汽车,然后还要至少步行四分之一英里。结果,我在六月一个炎热的上午到了那儿,因为心情非常沮丧,竟不感到紧张了。
The school was a red brick house with big windows. The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner, where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main road.
My First Job Robert Best
我的第一份工作 罗伯特·贝斯特
While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.

大学英语精读(第三版)第2册 U7-10课文翻译
Not On My Block人们认为埃塞尔·阿姆斯特德准是疯了,竟然敢去面对那些在她房子外面贩卖毒品的年轻人。
但埃塞尔已忍无可忍。
她鼓足勇气,走出去跟那帮人谈话。
下面就是所发生的故事。
离开我这个街区琳恩·罗塞利尼埃塞尔·阿姆斯特德一下子就喜欢上了那栋灰色的联房。
房子里多出了一间卧室,还有一个很大的后院,可以让她的小外孙和外孙女在那儿玩耍。
那个大理石的门廊将是夏天夜晚坐着乘凉的理想场所。
但搬进来后的第一个晚上,当阿姆斯特德下班回到家时,她却发现有一帮样子很凶的人坐在她家门前的台阶上。
她大吃一惊,说道:“请原谅,我住在这儿。
”那一帮七个年轻人不情愿地站了起来,用冷酷无情的目光盯着她看。
一走进去,阿姆斯特德就锁上门,从窗口往外看。
她吃惊地发现那几个年轻人已经又坐在了她家的台阶上。
在以后的几个星期里,阿姆斯特德了解到她那栋房子过去长期空关时,曾被一些毒品贩子用来在前面台阶下面藏过毒品。
当川流不息的车辆和行人经过时,毒品贩子就在门廊上做生意。
吸毒成瘾的人就在房子后面的小路上注射毒品,并在后院里随地撒尿。
阿姆斯特德对占用她家前门的那些人不抱任何幻想。
在东巴尔的摩那个充满犯罪与暴力的奥利弗地区居住的十年间,几乎每个晚上,她躺在床上都能听到毒品战激烈进行时的枪击声。
但是,(在)这栋房子,有毒品贩子经常出没于她的门廊却是最糟糕的。
有时候她一天要报警好几次,恳请警察把这些毒品贩子驱散。
但警车一旦在街角消失,那些毒品贩子们又会陆陆续续地回来。
作为一个50多岁、子女已经长大成人的母亲,阿姆斯特德从未想像过要进行这场战斗。
但这并不是她第一次奋起应付突如其来的挑战了。
在20世纪90年代中期,当她自己的女儿染上毒瘾,她的小外孙和外孙女需要人领养时,阿姆斯特德就把那三个男孩和一个女孩领来照管了。
2000年9月的一个夜晚,在她迁入新居后大约一个月的时候,阿姆斯特德向上帝祈祷:“明天我要跟那些家伙谈一谈。

大学英语精读(第三版)第2册U7-10课文翻译UNIT2-7Not On My Block人们认为埃塞尔·阿姆斯特德准是疯了,竟然敢去面对那些在她房子外面贩卖毒品的年轻人。
但埃塞尔已忍无可忍。
她鼓足勇气,走出去跟那帮人谈话。
下面就是所发生的故事。
离开我这个街区琳恩·罗塞利尼埃塞尔·阿姆斯特德一下子就喜欢上了那栋灰色的联房。
房子里多出了一间卧室,还有一个很大的后院,可以让她的小外孙和外孙女在那儿玩耍。
那个大理石的门廊将是夏天夜晚坐着乘凉的理想场所。
但搬进来后的第一个晚上,当阿姆斯特德下班回到家时,她却发现有一帮样子很凶的人坐在她家门前的台阶上。
她大吃一惊,说道:“请原谅,我住在这儿。
”那一帮七个年轻人不情愿地站了起来,用冷酷无情的目光盯着她看。
一走进去,阿姆斯特德就锁上门,从窗口往外看。
她吃惊地发现那几个年轻人已经又坐在了她家的台阶上。
在以后的几个星期里,阿姆斯特德了解到她那栋房子过去长期空关时,曾被一些毒品贩子用来在前面台阶下面藏过毒品。
当川流不息的车辆和行人经过时,毒品贩子就在门廊上做生意。
吸毒成瘾的人就在房子后面的小路上注射毒品,并在后院里随地撒尿。
阿姆斯特德对占用她家前门的那些人不抱任何幻想。
在东巴尔的摩那个充满犯罪与暴力的奥利弗地区居住的十年间,几乎每个晚上,她躺在床上都能听到毒品战激烈进行时的枪击声。
但是,(在)这栋房子,有毒品贩子经常出没于她的门廊却是最糟糕的。
有时候她一天要报警好几次,恳请警察把这些毒品贩子驱散。
但警车一旦在街角消失,那些毒品贩子们又会陆陆续续地回来。
作为一个50多岁、子女已经长大成人的母亲,阿姆斯特德从未想像过要进行这场战斗。
但这并不是她第一次奋起应付突如其来的挑战了。
在20世纪90年代中期,当她自己的女儿染上毒瘾,她的小外孙和外孙女需要人领养时,阿姆斯特德就把那三个男孩和一个女孩领来照管了。
2000年9月的一个夜晚,在她迁入新居后大约一个月的时候,阿姆斯特德向上帝祈祷:“明天我要跟那些家伙谈一谈。

UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。
晚宴我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。
跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。
席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。
“女人一遇到危急情况,”少校说,反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中,除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着下一道菜。
这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳,并向其他人发警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱,致使眼镜索受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话,其语气非常威严,竟使所有的人安静了下来。
我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力,我数三百下——也就五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。
动者将罚款五十卢比。
准备好!”在他数数的过程中,那20个人像一尊尊石雕一样端坐在那儿。
当他数到“……280……”时,突然从眼然处看到那条眼镜蛇钻了出来,向那碗牛奶爬去。
在他跳起来把通往阳台的门全都砰砰地牢牢关上时,室内响起了一片尖叫声。
“你刚才说得很对,少校!”男主人大声说。
一个男子刚刚为我们显示了从容不迫、镇定自若的范例。
”“且慢”,那位美国人一边说着一边转向女主人。
温兹太太,你怎么知道那条眼镜蛇是在屋子里呢?”女主人的脸上闪现出一丝淡淡的微笑,回答说:“因为它当时正从我的脚背上爬过去。
”UNIT2-2杰斐逊很久以前就死了,但是我们仍然对他的一些思想很感兴趣,杰斐逊的箴言, 布鲁斯.布利文、托马斯.杰斐逊美国第三任总统,也许不像乔治.华盛顿和亚伯拉罕.林肯那样著名,但大多数人至少记得有关他的一件事实:《独立宣言》是他起草的。
虽然杰斐逊生活在二百多年以前,但我们今天仍可以从他身上学到很多东西。
他的许多思想对当代青年特别有意义。
下面就是他讲过和写到过的一些观点:自己去看。
杰斐逊认为,一个自由的人除了从书本中获取知识外,还可以从许多别的来源获得知识;亲自做调查是很重要的。
当他还年轻的时候,他就被任命为一个委员会的成员,去调查詹姆斯河南部支流的水深是否可以通行大型船只。
委员会的其他成员都坐在州议会大厦内,研究有关这一问题的文件,而杰斐逊却跳进一只独木舟去做现场观测。
你可以向任何人学习。
按出身及其所受的教育,杰斐逊均属于最高的社会阶层。
然而很少跟出身卑贱的人说话的年代,在那个贵人们除了发号施令以外。
杰斐逊却想尽办法跟园丁、仆人和侍者交谈。
有一次杰斐逊曾这样对法国贵族拉斐特说:你必须像我那样到平民百性的家里去,看看他们的烧饭锅,吃吃他们的面包。
只要你肯这样做,你就会发现老百姓为什么会不满意,你就会理解正在威胁着法国的革命。
”自已作判断。
未经过认真的思考,杰斐逊绝不接受别人的意见。
“不要相信它或拒绝它。
”他在给侄子的信中写道,“因为别的人相信或拒绝了什么东西。
上帝赐予你一个用来判断真理和谬误的头脑。
那你就运用它吧。
杰斐逊觉得人民是“完全可以依赖的,应该让它们听到一切真实和虚伪的东西,然后作出正确的判断。
倘使让我来决定,我们是应该有一个政府而不要报纸呢,还是应该有报纸而不要政府,我会豪不犹豫地选择后者。
”做你认为是正确的事。
在一个自由的国家里总会有各种相互冲突的思想,而这正是力量的源泉。
使自由保持活力的是冲突而不是绝对的一致。
虽然有好多年杰斐逊一直受到激烈的批评,但他从不回答那些批评他的人。
他在想写给一位朋友的信中表达他自己的观点:“每个问题都有两面。
如果你坚持站在一面,根据它有效地采取行动,那么,站在另一面的那些人当然会对你的行动怨恨不满。
”相信未来,相信青年。
杰斐逊认为,绝不可以用那些已经无用的习俗来束缚住“现在”的手脚。
“没有哪个社会,”他说,“可以制订一部永远适用的宪法,甚至连一条永远适用的法律也制订不出来。
地球是属于活着的一代的。
他不害怕新的思想,也不害怕未来。
“有多少痛苦,”他评论说,“是有一些从未发生的灾难引起的啊!我期待的是最好的东西,而不是最坏的东西。
我满怀希望地驾驶着自已的航船,我满怀希望地驾驶着自已的航船,而把恐惧抛在后面。
”杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以知识为基础的。
他懂得的东西也许比同时代的任何人都要多。
在农业、考古学和医学方面他都是专家。
在人人普遍采用农作物轮作和土壤保持的作法以前一个世纪,他就这样做了。
他还发明了一种比当时任何一种都好的耕犁。
他影响了整个美国的建筑业,他还不断地制造出各种器械的装置,使日常生活中需要做的许多工作变得更加容易。
在杰斐逊的众多才能中,有一种是最主要的:他首先是一位优秀的、不知疲倦的作家。
他的全集,目前正在第一次出版的,将超过五十卷。
他作为一个作家的才能很快便被发现了,所以,当1776年在费城要撰写《独立宣言》的时刻来到时,这一任务便落在了他的肩上。
数以百万计的人们读到他写的下列词句都激动不已:我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的;一切人生来就是平等的……”杰斐逊在1826年7月4日与世长辞,正值美国独立五十周年纪念日之际,他给他的同胞留下了一份丰富的思想遗产和众多的榜样。
托马斯杰斐逊对美国的教育事业作出了巨大的贡献,他认为,只有受过教育的人民组成的国家才能保持自由。
UNIT2-3进入大学之前,尽力去攒一些钱。
作者申请了一个教书职业。
但是面试变得越来越糟。
我的第一份工作, 在我等着进大学期间,我在一份地方报纸上看到一张广告,说是在伦敦某郊区有所学样要招聘一名教师. 离我住处大约十英里, 我因为手头很拮据,同时也想干点有用的事,于是便提出了申请,在提出申请的同时我也担心,自己一无学位,二无教学经验,得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。
然而,三天之后,却来了一封信,叫我到克罗伊顿去面试。
这上路去那儿原来还真麻烦:先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站,再乘十分钟公共汽车,然后还要步行至少四分之一英里。
结果,我在六月一个炎热的上午到了那儿,因为心情非常沮丧,竟不感到紧张了。
学校是一座装着大窗户了红砖房子。
前庭园是个铺着砾的正方形:四个角上各有一丛冬青灌木,它们经受着从繁忙的大街一吹来的尘烟,挣扎着活下去。
开门的显然是校长本人。
他又矮又胖,留着沙色的小胡子,前额上布满皱纹,头发差不多已经秃光。
他带着一种吃惊的、不以为然的神态看着我,就像一位上校看着一名没系好靴带的二等兵一样。
“哦,”他咕哝着说。
“你最好到里面来。
”那狭窄的,不见阳光的走廊里散发出一股腐烂的卷心菜味,闻上去很不舒服;墙上墨迹斑斑,显行很脏,周围一片静寂。
他的书房,从地毯上的面包屑来判断,也是他的餐室。
“你最好坐下,”他说,接着便问了我许多问题:为了得到普通学校证书我学过哪些课程;我多大岁数了;我会玩些什么游戏;问到这里他突然用他那双充满血丝的眼睛盯住我,问我是否认为游戏是儿童教育的一个极为重要的组成部分。
我含含糊糊地说了些不必太重视游戏之类的话。
他咕哝了几句。
我说了错话。
我和校长显然没有多少共同语言。
他说,学校只有一个班,二十四名男生,年龄从七岁到十三风不等,除了美术课他亲自教以外,其余所有的课程都得由我来教。
星期三和星期六的下午要到一英里以外的公园去踢足球、打板球。
整个教学计划把我吓坏了。
我得把全班学生分成三个组,按三种不同的程度轮流给他们上课;想到要教代数和几何这两门我在读书时学得极差的科目,我感到很害怕。
更糟糕的也许是星期六下午打板球的安排,因为这时候我的朋友大都会在悠闲地自得其乐。
我羞羞答答地问,“我的薪水是多少?”“每周十二镑外加中饭。
”还没等我来得及提出异议,他已经站了起来。
“好了,”他说,“你最好见见我的妻子。
她才是这所学校真正的主管人。
”我再也无法忍受了。
我当时很年轻,想到将在一个女人手下干活,就觉得是最大的侮辱。
UNIT2-4教授和游游- -在一个年轻的朋友的眼里,爱因斯坦是一个朴素、谦虚而普通的人。
作者:托马斯·李·巴基与约瑟夫·布兰克我的父亲是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的亲密朋友。
做为一个腼腆的年轻的来访者来到爱因斯坦的家里时,我感到舒适,因为爱因斯坦说,"我有东西要给你看。
"他走到他的桌前返回来时带着一个游游。
他试图给我看它是怎样工作的但他没有办法让它的线绕回去。
当该我来玩时,我展示我的一点技巧并向他指出绕得不正确的线使这个玩具失去了平衡。
爱因斯坦点头,并对我的技术与知识留下了印象。
后来,我买了一个新的游游做为圣诞节礼物寄给教授,我收到一首答谢诗。
做为一个小孩和做为一个成人,我一直都想了解身为名人的爱因斯坦。
他是我认识的所有的这样的人中的一个,他承认他自身的有限性并与他周围的世界和平相处。
他知道他想要的是什么并且他想要的仅仅是这个:理解在他做为一个人的限度之内宇宙的特性和在它的作用中的逻辑与简单性。
他知道在他的智力所能达到的地方之外有答案。
但这不能使他沮丧。
他要尽自己的可能来努力。
在我们的23年的友谊里,我从未看到他显示出嫉妒、空虚、痛苦、生气、怨恨,或者个人的野心。
他显得不受这些强烈情绪的影响。
他超越了一切虚荣。
虽然他与这个世界上最著名的人们中的一些人通信,但他的信笺只有一个水印的符号——W——是伍尔沃思连锁店的标记。
做工作时他只需要一只铅笔和一张纸。
物质的事情对于他意味着什么也不存在。
我从不知道他带钱因为他从不用钱。
他信奉朴素,如此之深以至于他仅仅使用安全剃须刀沾水剃胡须。
当我建议他试用剃须膏时,他说,"这把剃须刀与水一起就可以了。
""但教授,你为什么不试一次这种膏呢?"我争辩道。
