It is intimating of a small group of students, seminar gets typically of 10. The students of the lecture usually, although not the … there are usually quite big groups. So a large lecture is around 250 students. We have quite a numbers of lectures over 100 students. There is essentially one-way communication, whereas the seminar is much more two-way communication. The seminar with the work program is engaged by the students. The lectures are more passive learning, and the seminars are mentally much more active learning.

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows. Human beings are connected with nature by "blood" ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balancebetween man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed. Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother NatureSample EssayMy Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns,causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemicalPollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human being may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.友情提示:部分文档来自网络整理,供您参考!文档可复制、编辑,期待您的好评与关注!。

现代大学英语精读4UNIT1翻译及课后答案

UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候,我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好,我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论,那就是:我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂,所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹,好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子,他手肘支在膝头,手握拳托着腮帮子,全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候,我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心,而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然,它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦,他是洛丁的思索者,一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下,我是校长办公室的常客,为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说,我是顽劣不羁,头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚,那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时,我就会垂下头,在身后紧扣双手,两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说,“我们该拿你怎么办呢?”哦,他们要拿我怎么办呢?我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来,孩子!你就不能抬起头来吗?”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜,看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中,健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光,所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西,所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗?”不,我不思考,刚才没思考,也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学——你学了吗?”有一次,校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

新编实用英语综合教程1第四版课文翻译There is no perfect way for human beings to deal with cockroaches up to now. There is an instrument in Europe that can emit a specific frequency wave similar to that in a microwave oven, rapidly raise the blood temperature in the cockroach's body and instantly cause the cockroach to blow itself up. However, even if it is applied in such a wide range, it cannot completely eliminate the cockroach. Moreover, it can kill any organism containing water in the body and was banned several years ago. I do not recommend you to use any insecticide, which can only kill some cockroaches. It is an indisputable fact that cockroaches cannot be completely eliminated, but it can accelerate the evolution of cockroaches. The same insecticide may be used for one to two years, and cockroaches will be immunized against this insecticide by producing antibodies themselves. If you kill a limited number of cockroaches, the evolution of cockroaches will be accelerated permanently. Suggested methods are as follows: 1. Overcome your fear of cockroaches. 2. Use aggressive weapons to cause physical damage to cockroaches to death. (For example, newspapers, flyswatters.) 3. Clean the house and keep the house clean all over the world to minimize the living space of cockroaches. Finally, I give you advice: if you find a cockroach in the room, you think there are more than 200 cockroaches nearby. The number of cockroaches on theearth is far more than N times of the number of human beings. This is an endless war. ok, take your weapons and do them.人类对付蟑螂的方法到现在没有完善的. 在欧洲有种仪器,能发出类似微波炉中的特定频率波,迅速声高蟑螂身体内的血液温度,瞬间让蟑螂自爆,可即使这样大范围应用也不能彻底消灭蟑螂,而且,它可以杀掉任何身体中含水的生物,在几年前以遭禁用. 本人不推荐你使用任何杀虫剂,杀虫剂只能杀死一部分蟑螂,不能完全消灭蟑螂,这是不争的事实,但是他能加速蟑螂的进化,同一杀虫剂可能用一到两年后,蟑螂自身产生抗体,就对这种杀虫剂免疫了.你杀死了有限的蟑螂,可加速蟑螂的进化是永久的. 推荐你的方法如下: 1,克服自身对蟑螂的恐惧. 2,使用带攻击性武器对蟑螂造成物理伤害至死.(例如:报纸,苍蝇拍.) 3,清洁房屋卫生及房屋周遍卫生,尽量减少蟑螂的生存空间. 最后给你忠告: 如果你发现房间里有一只蟑螂,就以为着附近还有200只以上.蟑螂在地球上的数量远远超过人类的数量n倍.这是一场永无止境的战争,ok,拿去武器,去干他们吧。

While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL / EFL programs.

If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracked up to be. Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?2 Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I'm interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropout and I knew I'd have to some day. According to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thing as a free lunch". But given that I'd got a good degree, I thought I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actually, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Economics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum about it, and she said she couldn't afford to support me any more. I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics. She'd worked hard for 15 years to give me an education. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spent it gambling on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the point when I just agreed with Mum, and bowed myself towards the inevitable.4 If you ask me, and despite everything you hear, fortunately there are some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for example. When I left university, what I thought was that my mum would feel obliged to look after me if I returned home. So I packed up my belongings and went to London to get a job. I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree. But by that time, there were no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doing photocopies and making the tea.5 Go anywhere you like in London and there's usually a good pub. The day I realized no one in the city was going to offer me a job, I went into The Salisbury on Leadenhall Street for a drink and something to eat. Mike the landlord was at the bar, pouring pints with one hand, making sandwiches with the other, and washing the glasses all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have three hands. He also seemed to know everyone, and greeted the regulars by name, getting their drinks ready with the question, "The usual today, is it?" I thought he looked kind of cool, he was doing what he did best, serving thirsty clients, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and asked him whether there was a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long story short, I started work in the pub one Friday lunch time. It was quite demanding work, but I liked it. People seemed to find me amusing and it made me feel better too. There was one middle-aged regular in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwich, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I tried to have his lunch ready for him even before he asked. He was another one of those really nice people.7 If you ask me, spending money when you don't have any is dead easy. I began to think about how I'd spend my first month's wages. The flat where I was staying was expensive, and I just about had enough to cover the first month's substantial bills. But I calculated that there'dbe just enough money over to treat myself to something. Why not get a CD or maybe a plant to cheer up the flat? I thought.8 It was my birthday on pay day. Apart from Mike and Tony, I didn't have any friends in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfriend either, you can understand why I began to feel sorry for myself. So I ordered myself some flowers, and asked them to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highlight of my birthday would be the confused look on the florist's eyes when he delivered them.9 Later that week, Tony came in as usual and sat down at the bar. "What's wrong with you? Where's that smile gone today?" I talked to him about... well, about pretty well everything, money, the master's, my birthday, the lot. He sympathized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Remember: The Salisbury is right in the heart of the city, so all the customers were in banking or insurance or the stock market. Next day he turned up with cheques to the value of £20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your business. The only collateral you have is my trust in you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the finance business for you. But I think you will."11 I didn't say anything for fear that I was going to cry. What were the odds on anyone being so nice?12 And the flowers? I redirected them to my mum, and they arrived for her on my birthday. She deserved them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, looking back after all these years, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succeed. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's still worth it.14 After a year working at The Salisbury, I got a place at the LSE, did my master's and found a job in an investment bank. I in vested the £20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash.I paid back Tony and the other investors, with ten per cent annual interest, and set up my own firm. It exceeded all my expectations and is still a thriving business.15 Tony wrote me a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accident, and couldn't walk. The money I paid back would allow him to adapt his house so he could move around it in his wheelchair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five years in banking, and I've never made a better investment than the loan to you. You've repaid the money with interest, and my trust in you and your honesty 100-fold. If you ask me, investing in people gives the best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看,现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

第一单元Text A 课文译文与自然力量抗争人道是骄兵必败。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧,他们所向披靡,便以为自己战无不胜,不可阻挡。

但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。

冰雪卫士奈拉•B•斯密斯1812年,法国皇帝拿破仑•波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。

他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。

他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。

但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。

1941年,纳粹德国元首阿道夫•希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。

希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。

他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。

希特勒希望速战速决,但是,就像在他之前的拿破仑一样,他得到的是痛苦的教训。

仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。

拿破仑发起的战役1812年春,拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。

这些士兵受过良好训练,作战力强,装备精良。

这支军队被称为大军。

拿破仑对马到成功充满自信,预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。

不久,拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。

令他吃惊的是,俄国人并不奋起抵抗。

相反,他们一路东撤,沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。

大军紧追不舍,但它的长驱直入很快由于粮草运输缓慢而停顿下来。

到了8月,法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战,这一战役中,双方各有上万人阵亡。

可是,俄国人仍能在自己的国土上继续后撒。

拿破仑未能取得决定性的胜利。

此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。

是继续追击俄国,军队,还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克,在那儿度过将到的冬天?拿破仑孤注一掷,决定向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。

1812年9月7日,法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。

夜幕降临时,3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡,倒在了战场上。

俄国军队再次撤往安全之处。

拿破仑顺利进入莫斯科,然而,对该市的占领成为毫无意义的胜利。

俄国人弃城而走。

法国人进城不久,一场熊熊大火烧毁了整个城市的三分之二。

拿破仑向亚历山大一世提出停战,但沙皇深知他可以等待时机:“且让俄罗斯的严冬为我们战斗吧。

新标准大学英语综合教程4unit1~8翻译答案

新标准大学英语综合教程4u n i t1~8翻译答案(总4页)-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1-CAL-本页仅作为文档封面,使用请直接删除UNIT1:If you ask me, taking a second major isn’t good for every undergraduate. In my freshman year as an English major, I took economics as my minor. By all odds, I was the most hardworking student in my class. But try as I might to meet the requirements of the two different subjects, I still couldn’t do well enough to pass all the exams. Given that the study of economics required a good command ofmathematics, I had to spend so much time on math that I neglected my English major.Failing English Literature and Macroeconomics in the second semester sounded the alarm for me. This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my confidence. Although I was not a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up economics for fear that I would fail in both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to, everything seemed to be on the right track again.UNIT2:It was not after he graduated from university and started to work that Zhang Lei has become aware of the pleasure of reading. Reflecting on his undergraduate studies, he remorses/ laments/ regrets that he only read textbooks, none of which was really worthwhile and could be read in one sitting, while his classmates immersed themselves in various interesting books they could lay hands on from the library or bookstores. He was deprived of the access to wonderful worlds created by writers, so to speak.Now, Zhang Lei is an avid and omnivorous reader, as if he wants to read all the good books he hadn’t had a chance to read in his university days. He has by now in his spare time read several hundreds of books, including novels, biographies and travel notes. He has realized that books can not only reveal/display to him a vista of a bright future and help him withstand stresses and strains, they can also help him clear up/clarify some misconceptions/ misunderstandings and discover the truth of life.UNIT3:What you wear/Your dress code seems to dictate/determine/define your behaviour. For instance/example, one of the hard and fast rules primary school and middle school students have to observe/adhere to is that they must wear school uniforms at school. There is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and students’ conformity to some code of conduct.However, years of school life have led to a backlash in the students’ mind against the ubiquitous uniform, which, after all, has suppressed the expression of individuality. For compensation, students usually put on casual wear on weekends. It is not until they go to university that they can really enjoy dressing the way they like. The anarchy of dress is associated with cultivation of creativity, the encouragement of free expression of ideas and talents. But this freedom won’t obtain/stay long. After a relatively/comparatively short time of liberty, they may find themselves under the revived pressure of dress code soon after they become professionals. UNIT4:When it comes to the effects of the current economicdownturn/crunch/depression, the decrease of student activities is a good case in point. To enliven/animate campus life, the/a university is always willing to carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies. But such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget cut. Apparently, student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to recover/revive their vitality. Some suggest enrolling more club members, on the ground that the increase of membership fees may help them get out of/go through the difficultyNo doubt, if we have more members paying the annual fee, and if we cut back on our daily expenses, we can spare some money to organize activities. But the bottom line is the expenses of these activities are in proportion to the number of participants, so I’m afraid enrolling more members won’t be of much help. To boost student activities and to avoid going into the red, we still need to pool our ideas and come up with some other ways of raising money, in lieu of just relying on university grants and membership fees.UINT5:Our presumption/s about an ideal husband or wife reveals/tells/indicates our gender expectations and/as well as our response s to them. If most girls/young women expect their fiancés to be tough/strong, capable and reliable, there is no option left for boys/young men other than to be trained as expected so as/if they want to win girls’/women’s heart. If they go against the expectations/act to the contrary, they may/will most likely/probably bemoan their bachelor’s status for the rest of their lives.Following the same unwritten rule,/This unwritten rule is applicable in reverse. if/If most boys/young men want their fiancées to be caring, patient and faithful more than anything else, girls/young women are prone to let on that they will become faithful wives and loving mothers even if they are not that type/kind of girls/young women .A further look into the gender expectations uncovers physiological and social factors behind./ Looking into the gender expectations, we will find that they are based on physiological and social factors. It goes without saying that women are physically prepared/built to bear children, while/whereas men are totally/utterly unfit for the job./ a job absolutely beyond men’s capability/a job absolutely impossible for men. Therefore, what a man has to is to commit/devote himself to providing food and necessities for the well-being of the familyUNIT6:To make the campus safer/For the safety of the campus, the university authorities recently released/announced a new regulation thatforbids/prohibits/prevents any vendors from entering the campus. The president called on the students to cooperate/call for the students’ cooperation with the university on this matter/on that, but the students’ opposition was strong/were strongly opposed to the regulation/strongly opposed the regulation, and hundreds of them expressed their anger/ outrage on the university BBS.They complained that to keep vendors off the campus is like deserting students on an isolated island, as the university was far away/distant from the downtown and the shops on campus did not provide enough commodities/comodities were notreadily available in the shops on campus. Some claimed that it was precisely/exactly for matters of this kind that the university should listen to students’ opinions and understand their needs. Some students thought/ believed the university had got it wrong in believing/assuming/their belief that this regulation will ensure/grant safety on campusShocked by the students’ reaction, the president tried to make amends for his mistake by announcing that the university would look into this new regulation again. / The president was shocked by the students’ reaction. To make amends, he announced/ proclaimed that… He told students that they were absolutely entitled to ( live) a convenient and comfortable life, but safety is just as much an important concern as that. He proposed to build a big supermarket within the campus and some convenient stores near the dormitory buildings/ domitories, which would certainly make students’ life much easier.UNIT7:In the graduation ceremony, Thomas Clark, a veteran/an experienced CTO of a renowned IT company, offered some important advice to 140 computer science majors who aspired to pursue a successful career in IT.According to Clark, information technology is not just about assembling machines and devices; it is a domain where innovation plays the key/critical role.So naturally/it’s only natural that IT workers have to endure/be resilient to great/enormous pressure in their work as they need to/are expected to come up with new ideas on a daily basis.But Clark also pointed out/reminded the students that the ultimate goal of IT business is (making) profit. If you want to succeed/be successful in this area, you need to/have to keep/bear in mind that innovation is not synonymous with individualismIt is worth noticing that because of arrogance and poor communication skill many gifted/talented young people have not been able to realize/dig out their potential, thus fail to achieve success. Clark emphasized/ stressed that you must learn to cooperate with people from different departments, so as to make products that will be accepted by the market/adaptable/adapted to the market, then it is how your talent can blossom.UNIT8:When the new National Museum was completed/ After the completion ofthe …, some citizens and architects were indignant at the presence/ appearance of a modern building amist the most beautiful and exquisite ancient buildings of the city.There was also an outburst of criticism for its high cost of maintenance/ its expensive maintance and its strange shape/ awkward form. Obviously/ With no doubt, some people felt uncomfortable/ uneasy with such fashionable modernbuildings being erected in the city. But on the other hand, many artists and citizens believed that these criticisms failed to do justice to the architectural beauty and artistic maturity of the new museum.The debate over this museum leads many people to comtemplate the future of those ancient buildings of the city in an age when the public increasingly worship modern Western technology and styles. With their extravagance and complexity, buildings in an ancient fashion are costly to construct on a large scale. At the same time, modern buildings of Western styles cannot always transend cultural barriers. Maybe a more moderate approach should be adopted. A careful overall plan should be made beforehand to ensure that the ancient buildings are properly preserved and the modern buildings become a harmonious part of the city.。

Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀?1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。

这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。

那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。

这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。

我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。

这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。

3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。

而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。

我们都听人说过这样的话:“我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。

”有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。

一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。

一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。

一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。

这么说是有道理的。

4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。

我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。

通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。

而且,她们的这种喜欢是相互的。

布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母,当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。

外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:“啊哈,你又上了我的当。

”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。

第一部分是铺垫(即背景),接下来是主干部分(即故事情节),随后便是妙语(即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾)。

Unit 1课文1. 相同的语言,不同的含意语言归属于讲这一语言的人,而词语或话语的意义则是讲这种语言的人们所赋予的。

所以语言的基础是约定俗成,而在标准英国英语和标准美国英语中,这些约定在很多情况下却是不同的。

美国英语在全世界都有强大的影响。

我们芬兰人在学校学习的是标准英国英语,但同时我们从电视上吸取美国英语的词汇。

有时有些英国英语的词语与美国英语大相径庭,会产生一些有趣的巧合,下面是我的一些切身体验:“我4点50得走,因为我们5:00要喝下午茶”,斯帝文说。

(他是我隔壁的邻居,也是我们来到英格兰后在家里接待的第一位客人。

)“你真的喜欢喝茶吗?”我问他(我知道芬兰的孩子通常不喜欢喝茶)。

“哦,不,我总是喝果汁,”斯帝文回答道。

“但是你父母亲喜欢喝茶吧?”“不,他们喜欢喝牛奶,”他说。

我脑海里关于“5时茶”的错觉在那天就破灭了。

我意识到“茶”在英国不一定是指一杯热气腾腾的茶。

茶经常是指有番茄、肉或是鱼、青豆等的正餐。

英国本地人可能觉得“茶”不是一个词,而是两个不同的词:表示正餐的茶和表示热饮料的茶。

“旅行回来给我打个电话(ring),”唐恩说。

“戒指(ring)?为什么,难道你要我嫁给你吗?”我觉得很奇怪。

再一次证明一个词语的含义是言语社区赋予的。

给人打电话美国人说呼他,但英国人却说给我打一个电话。

可能美国人在发现新的表达法上更有创造性。

原因是他们更习惯于外国的影响,而英国人却一直寓居在一群孤岛上。

但是标准英国英语并没有拒绝像Hoover(胡佛真空吸尘器)、Xerox(施乐复印机)和Aspirin(阿斯匹林祛痛片)这样的新词语。

英国人很经济实惠(节约、节俭),他们不浪费哪怕是一个字母。

PE(体育)这个词是physical education的首字母缩写,就是很好的例证。

我在北林肯郡呆的那段时间从没听说过胶靴这个词。

美国人说胶靴,英国人却用威灵顿靴。

我听说威灵顿靴得名于久负盛名的威灵顿爵士,他以爱穿绿色防水靴而闻名遐迩。

英格兰有个复合词是“车尾甩卖”,给我印象很深,也令我很喜欢。

口头语经常简化为“车尾卖”,从上下文人人都知道(语言基于约定俗成)说话人指的是一种一般人处理旧东西的露天跳蚤市场。

这个词很形象(如果听话的人知道在标准英国英语中boot就是指汽车行李箱的话),因为人们直接从汽车的行李箱里卖东西。

语言随着社会的发展而一起变化。

像软盘、网络或者打印机这样的词汇几十年前是不存在的。

而现在它们极为普通,有些新词还融入了芬兰语和许多其它语言中。

如果标准美国英语和标准英国英语之间的差异消失了,人们学习英语就容易多了。

我认为极有可能会朝这个方向变化。

媒体,比如卫星频道和互联网是统一英语(并把它融入到世界其他许多语言中)的极其强有力的工具。

课文2. 猜猜谁不会来吃饭伦敦的雨下个不停。

秋天——杰克叫秋天为落叶的季节——一直是灰暗、阴冷的。

孩子们的校服不够御寒,就连特拉法加广场上的鸽子也好像失去了些许往日的傲慢。

因为我是芬兰人,天气情况对我倒没什么,但是从佛罗里达州巴拿马来的杰克却苦苦地抱怨英国阴沉的都市风景。

即使下雨,我还得每天带孩子们出去散步,就像带两只又小又爱叫唤的小狗一样,因为这是我作为一个换工寄宿女孩的一项职责。

终于回到家里,我正准备晾晒他们的雨衣(在英国叫“橡胶防水大衣”)时,我们发现邓恩太太购物已经回来了。

我问她杰克有没有来过电话,因为他答应过要打电话来的。

“还没有,”安·邓恩回答说。

“但我希望这次他能留下来吃晚饭。

”对英国人来说,我提的问题的意思是杰克要来看我。

然而,杰克和我说的只是要打电话。

如果杰克是一个叫贝帝的英国男孩,他答应我的就会是“给我拨电话”(give me a ring),——这可与谈婚论嫁丝毫无关系。

那个星期里,后来杰克果真来了并且同意和我们一起共进晚餐。

听了安向他详细地介绍了他就要享用的英国“盛宴”之后,他显得十分拘束。

“炸鱼条和薯片,”他在我耳边嘟哝着,眼神里透着不安。

因为对我的美国朋友来说,“薯片”就是纯马铃薯片(标准英国英语中叫土豆条)。

其实,“薯片”在标准英国英语中的含义就是标准美国英语中的“油炸土豆片”。

杰克从没听说过“鱼段”(标准美国英语中的“油炸鱼条”),而且食用老鲑鱼“条”对他真的没有吸引力。

很显然,标准英国英语和标准美国英语有很多共同之处。

毕竟,它们都是同一种语言的两种变体。

美国英语赢得了主导地位主要因为其相应的政治、文化和技术势力。

二战后,美国英语已经成为商业和通讯业中使用的主要英语变体,而英国已经失去了几乎所有领域里的优势。

“国王英语(英国英语)不再是国王的。

它是一个联合股份公司,美国人占有大部分股份,”曾在小说的文学世界里创造了最成功的人物哈克贝里·费恩的马克·吐温这样写道。

美国英语与英国英语之间存在着许多不同程度的差异。

有些是拼写、标点和发音方面的,有些是语法和句法方面的。

我们在伦敦那段时间,我的朋友杰克经历了不少的误解和疑惑。

他天真地问到“subway”(地铁) 怎么走,英国人却告诉他怎么到最近的地下通道(标准英国英语的含意)。

他不会知道伦敦的地铁一般叫“地下管道”(tube)。

吃食和烹饪方面的传统在任何社会都是很独特的,我们谈起糟糕的英国“烹调”(法语外来词)自然也不例外。

这从食品的词汇里便可见一斑。

我的朋友杰克发现柠檬汁这个词在英国是一种碳酸饮料,而在美国则不是这个意思。

杰克告诉我说他有时觉得好像来到了一个像刘易斯·卡罗尔描述的仙境国度。

那里人们把短裤和内衣叫做内衣裤,汽车的消音器在那里是压声器。

对我来说,这种变异和大量的半隐含的意义很有意思。

我努力从这两种变体里学到点什么。

在某种程度上我被它们吸引住了,想破译某种编码来找出隐藏在一般词汇和短语表层底下的含意。

我已经开始发现表层意思下面的另一层意义,即语义学的一个新层面。

当这两种变体在多雨的伦敦发生碰撞时,我却发现我是多么热爱英语这门语言。
