现代大学英语译文及练习答案一、Where_do_we_go_from_here我们向何处去？马丁.路德.金1．为了回答“我们向何处去”这一问题，我们现在必须明确我们的现状.当初拟定宪法时，一个不可思议的公式规定黑人在纳税和选举权方面只是一个完整人的60%.如今又一个匪夷所思的公式似乎规定黑人只盂交纳一个人应交税的50％，只享受一个人应享受的选举权利的50％。
对于生活中的好事，黑人大约只享有白人所享受的一半;而生活中的不愉快，黑人却要承受白人所面对的两倍。
因此,所有黑人中有一半人住着低标准的住房.并且黑人的收入只是白人的一半.每当审视生活中的负面经历时，黑人总是占双倍的份额。
黑人无业者是白人的两倍。
黑人婴儿的死亡率是白人的两倍，从黑人所占的总人口比率上看,在越南死亡的黑人是白人的两倍。
2．其他领域也有同样惊人的数字。
在小学,黑人比白人落后一至三年，并且他们的被白人隔离的学校的学生人均所得到的补贴比白人的学校少得多。
20个上大学的学生中，只有一个是黑人。
在职的黑人中75%的人从事低收入、单凋乏味的非技术性工作.3．这就是我们的现状.我们的出路在哪里?首先，我们必须维护自己的尊严和价值。
我们必须与仍压迫我们的制度抗争,从而树立崇高的不可诋毁的价值观。
我们再不能因为是自已黑人而感到羞耻。
几百年来灌输黑人是卑微的、无足轻重的,因此要唤起他们做人的尊严绝非易事。
4．甚至语义学似乎也合谋把黑色的说成足丑陋的、卑劣的。
罗杰特分类词典中与黑色相关的词有120个，其中至少60个微词匿影藏形,例如.污渍、煤烟、狰狞的、魔鬼和恶臭的.而与白色相关的词约有134个，它们却毫无例外都褒嘉洋溢,诸如纯洁、洁净、贞洁和纯真此类词等。
白色的(善意的）谎言总比黑色的（恶意的)谎言要好.家中最为人所不齿的人是“黑羊”，即败家子。
奥西．戴维斯曾建议或许应重造英语语言，从而教师将不再迫不得已因教黑人孩子60种方式蔑视自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的自卑感，因教白人孩子134种方式宠爱自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的优越感.5．忽视黑人对美国生活的贡献从而剥夺其做人的权利的行径，早如美国诞生之时最早的史书所记，近如每日晨报所载，已有近200年之久。
Unit 10 Reflections on Life新编大学英语第二版第三册课文翻译
Unit 10 Reflections on LifeA Diary of the CenturyHow do I feel upon becoming 50 years old? Surprised. Surprised that I should live so long. Surprised that it should seem so short. Surprised that I am not famous. Surprised that I should be surprised because I am not famous.All my life I have been motivated by curiosity. I wonder why? My mother wasn't curious. Although my grandfather died before I was born, judging from what I've heard about him, read about him, and from the books he left, I think it is possible that I inherited my curiosity from him. Born in England of Welsh parents, he came to America alone when he was only 16 years old.At the age of 50 my mind is better than ever—surprise, surprise! I can concentrate with the intensity of a beam of sunshine focused through a magnifying glass. Guilt and passion distract my attention far less frequently. Slowly I begin to perceive the relationships among everything I have experienced and read. My analyses and judgments seem sounder than before. My curiosity burns brighter. Problems once mysterious now seem obvious.And yet—! Every new answer breeds a dozen new questions. What I know, compared with what I do not know, is like a grain of sand by the sea. I am not sure whether there is anything absolute. While I believe I am alive, I am unable to say exactly what this phrase means. Maybe the atoms that make up my body now existed before I was born, and maybe they will continue to exist after I die.A few people consider me egotistical. Actually, I am humble. I was lucky to have been born with a fairly good mind, and I have spent years polishing this instrument I inherited. I'll admit I become impatient when confronted with ignorance. However, I know my limitations even better than my capabilities. At times I feel discouraged by my own ignorance.I can find no meaning in life. I believe that the individual life can be filled with meaning only through love and work of one's choice. My wife is a more valuable person than I because she has an infinite capacity for loving others. She is a genius at loving. I am a genius at nothing. When she dies an ocean of tears will flow. I admire her without envying her.When I was a boy of 14 I knew I wanted to become a reporter and then an author. Well, now I am an experienced reporter and next fall my first book will be published. The fact that I say first proves that I am optimistic about my career. I believe that the nextdecade of my life will become the most fruitful one. Perhaps my only really valuable creation is this diary.My 10 months of psychoanalysis have helped me learn how to forgive myself. I'm more at peace with myself now than at any time in the past. Nevertheless, I'm aware I haven't identified all my psychological conflicts, let alone resolved them. Bertrand Russell says there are three major conflicts: 1) Man against his environment; 2) man against man;3) man against himself. In my opinion, the conflict of man with himself is the most troublesome.Carved on the temple of Delphi was "Know thyself." I think I know myself better than most people because I spend more time studying myself than anything else. A diarist is a writer who watches himself. If I can learn to know myself well, then I'll be able to know others as well.Human beings are more alike than different. By paying close attention to whatever I feel and think, I can learn what others feel and think. Fortunately, it is the differences among people that make them interesting.Now that I've got rid of much of my guilt, now that I am less rigid about what I expect from myself, I get along better with others because I expect less from them, too. Life hurts. For years I've realized I'm an eccentric, without understanding exactly what I meant by this word. Now I know: An eccentric is one who insists upon being himself regardless of the opinion of others, provided he does not hurt them or himself. If everyone in the world were as eccentric, meaning if everyone accepted himself, there would be no more war.Now that I have lived a half-century, do I have any regrets? Sure, I regret that I was slow to mature. I regret that I did not become a psychoanalyst. Although I am not sorry I decided to become a journalist, I wish that early on I had chosen to become a therapist. Why? Because nothing interests me more than human nature.We are left with two frontiers. One is outer space. The other is inner space. While I lack the interest and ability to probe outer space, I'm rather well equipped to probe the mysteries of the human mind. But will I be able to communicate them to others?My brother, an inventor with several patents, is perhaps the world's leading expert about shock absorbers. But he and I cannot communicate about them. I have no technical knowledge of his specialty. He cannot explain it in simple language. This is an example of the failure of communication between the specialist and the layman. This breakdown is spreading. It is as though nerve endings had lost touch with one another. For lack of communication we may come to the end of civilization.世纪日记想想自己年已五十，感觉会如何？惊奇。

1.Not very far from Naples, a strange city sleeps under the hot Italian sun. It is the city of Pompei i, and there is no other city quite like it in all the world. Nothing lives in Pompeii except crickets a nd beetles and lizards, yet every year thousands of people travel from distant countries to visit it. 1. 在离那不勒斯不远的地方，一座奇特的小城寂静的沉睡在意大利炙热的骄阳之下。

现代大学英语精读(杨立民主编)第三册课文翻译
第一课大学时代鲍勃K哈特曼1.你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2.在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。
当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3.学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
4.1984年4月杰利弗K A K霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。

2014101018第十单元Translation of Text A曼德拉的菜园1 1977年初，当局宣布解除集体劳动，给我们安排了一些院内的工作，因此我们可以在自己的这片区域里打发时间了。
结束了体力劳动就像解放了一样。
现在我每天可以读书、谢辛和我的狱友讨论问题，或者准备法律文件。
时间上的自由还得以让我继续从事在罗本岛上培养起来的两大爱好：园艺和网球。
2 为了在狱中生存，你必须使自己在日常生活中得到满足。
你可以通过把衣服洗的特别干净，把门前过道打扫得一尘不染，或把自己的牢房整理出尽可能大的空间这些方法使自己感到充实。
同一个在监狱外的人为自己完成重要任务而感到骄傲一样，监狱的人也可以完成未完成一件小事而同样感到自豪。
3 几乎刚在罗本岛被判刑时起，我就向当局提出申请，我在院子里开垦一块菜园。
多年来，他们没有给出任何原因，却一直拒绝我的请求。
但最终他们让步了，这样我们能够在远处墙根下一块狭长的地面上划出小片面积的地方做菜园。
4 院子里的土壤很干，而且石头很多。
这个院子在建起来之前是个垃圾场，因此为了开辟这个园子，我的清除掉大量的石头，给植物留出生长的空间。
当时，一些狱友开玩笑说我骨子里是个矿工，整天呆在一片荒地里，把自己的空闲时间都花费在挖院子里的地了。
5 狱方给我提供了种子。
开始时，我种了番茄、辣椒和洋葱——都是些不需要肥沃的土壤或经常照料的生命力很强的植物。
早期的收成不好，但很快状况就有了改善。
狱方不会后悔允许我开辟菜园种菜的，因为菜园的蔬菜长的好起来后，我就经常给看守们一些最好的番茄和洋葱。
6 虽然我一直喜爱园艺，但直到入狱后我才得到一片属于自己的菜园。
在园艺方面的第一次经历是在海尔堡，那是大学时作为体力劳动要求的一部分，我在一位教授家的院子里干活，在那里我享受着脑力劳动之余和土地之间的接触。
但自从我到约翰内斯堡学习并工作以后，就在没有时间和没有地方种菜了。
7 我开始订阅一些关于园艺方面的书籍。
Unit-10-Agriculture新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译
Unit 10 AgricultureFarming for the Future[1] Every year, more people face poverty and hunger and more of the earth's resources are ruined. The problems are enormous, but many experts believe that the situation is not hopeless. The solution will require big changes in how we think about agriculture, food, and our planet.[2] First of all, farmers everywhere need to develop methods that are less destructive to the environment. The change from single crop farming to a mixed crop system would be one important step. The planting of several different crops improves the soil and helps prevent erosion. Erosion could also be prevented by planting trees to protect the fields from the wind. Another way farmers could improve the soil is to avoid deep plowing. In fact, only a slight plowing is necessary if proper methods are used.[3] If the soil were treated better, farmers would not need to use chemical fertilizers. They could use natural animal and vegetable products instead. With mixed crops, farmers would need fewer toxic chemical insecticides. They could use biological methods of controlling insects and disease.[4] Farmers could also help save the earth's precious supplies of water and petroleum. To save water, they could plant more water-efficient plants instead of the standard types of wheat or corn. They could also use watering systems that are much less wasteful. To save petroleum, farmers could make use of bio-gas generators which could be fueled by the vegetable and animal wastes of the farms. In less-developed countries, bio-gas generators could reduce the need for firewood and so help save forests, as well.[5] In less-developed countries, the small farmers need help. They need to learn more about crops that are better suited to local conditions. They need to learn how to limit erosion and make the best use of their resources. These farmers will never be successful without land and economic reform. This should be the aim of governments and international agencies. The current industrial and cash crop policies are only making the situation worse.[6] Industrialized countries could use their economic resources to help bring about these changes. They could make some changes in their own policies. At present, much food is wasted in these countries for political reasons. In Europe and in North America, tons of fruit and dairy products are thrown away every year. Eating habits, too, could be changed in these countries. For example, people often eat foods from distant places instead of local foods. The transportation of the imported foods adds to the global pollution problem. People in industrialized countries also eat a lot of meat, especially beef.In fact, a large percentage of the grain grown in these countries is used for feeding cattle. If people in these countries ate less meat, there would be more grain to feed the hungry people of the world.[7] The ideal agricultural system would be sustainable; that is, its level of productivity could be continued indefinitely and the damage to the environment much less. This is a war which must be won because it would have only winners for both farmers and consumers of farm products.未来农耕1 现在面临贫困和饥饿的人一年比一年多，地球资源遭到的破坏也一年比一年严重。

现代大学英语精读6（1-10课）课文翻译现代大学英语精读6课文翻译1如何使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚约翰·肯尼斯·高伯瑞(加尔布雷斯)1. 我很愿意严肃地考虑一种人类最古老的活动，这项活动持续了多年，实际上已经超过了几个世纪，那就是尝试怎样使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚。
2. 贫穷和富有从一开始就共生在一起，彼此很不愉快有时还充满危险。
普鲁塔克曾说，“贫富失衡乃共和政体最致命的宿疾。
”富有和贫穷持续共存产生的问题，特别是如何证明在其他人还贫穷时我们富有是有道理的这一问题，成为有思想有学问的人几百年来孜孜不倦地思考探索的问题。
直至当代状况依然如此。
3. 《圣经》提出了最初的解决之道，在现世遭受贫穷的人来世会得到更好的回报。
他们的贫穷是暂时的灾难，如果贫穷但却能顺从，他们将来就会成为世界的主人。
在某种程度上这就是最理想的解决办法。
由此，富人就可以一边嫉妒穷人的美好前途一边享受他们的财富。
4. 很长时间之后，即在1776年《国富论》发表的二三十年之后——在英国工业革命开始之后，贫富不均的问题及其解决办法开始具有了现代的形式。
杰罗米·边沁，这位与亚当·斯密几乎是同时代的人，提出了这样一种准则，在某种程度上，美国人认为这一准则在英国几乎50年来一直影响显著。
这就是实用主义学说。
“通过实用的原则，”边沁在1789年指出，“也就是通过这一原则来赞成或否定任何一种应运而生的看来似乎必定会增加或减少政党幸福的行为或做法，尽管政党的利益总是在讨论之中。
”实用，实际上一定是以自我为中心的。
然而，社会中只有少数人拥有大量财富，却有更多人没有财富。
只要遵循边沁的话——“最大的利益给最多的人”，就能够解决社会问题。
社会尽力满足更多的人，人们接受对于很多利益没被满足的人来说，结果极其不幸。
5. 在19世纪30年代，一种新的准则成为使我们不为穷人的存在感到内疚的有效办法，迄今为止它的影响也丝毫没有减弱。

课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A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。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11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。
12“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。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
现代大学英语精读第六册 第十课课文及翻译
Jane Austen may seem an odd authority to cite, but Jane Austen has, within her limits, a marvelous insight into the English mind.Her range is limited, hercharactersnever attempt any of the more scarlet sins.But she has a merciless eye for questions of conduct, and the classical example of two English people muddling themselves before they embark upon a wrong course of action is to be foundin theopening chapters ofSense and Sensibility.Old Mr. Dashwood has just died.Hehas been twice married.By his first marriage he has a son, John; by his second marriage three daughters.The son is well off; the young ladies and their mother—for Mr. Dashwood’s second wife survives him—are badly off.He has called his son to his deathbed and has solemnly adjured himto provide for the second family.Much moved, the young man promises, and mentally decides to give each of his sisters a thousand pounds; and then the comedy begins.For he announces his generous intention to his wife, and Mrs. John Dashwood by no means approves of deprivingtheir own little boy of so large a sum.The thousand pounds are accordingly reduced to five hundred.But even this seems rather much.Might not an annuity to the stepmother be less of a wrench?Yes—but though less of a wrench it might be more of a drain , for“she is very stout and healthy, and scarcely forty.”An occasional present of fifty pounds will be better,“andwill, I think, be amply discharging my promise to my father”.Or, better still, an occasional present of fish.And in the end nothing is done, nothing; the four impecunious ladies are not even helped in the moving of their furniture.

Our country cannot be said to have been modernizedunless the quality of our people’s lives is really improved.8.Poor as we were in many ways at that time, we were still quite happy as children, for therewas clean air, clean water, a lot of fish, crabs and eels in the rivers, lakes, and ponds; and a lot of flowers, trees and birds in the fields.9.Give absolute power to any individual or any particular group of people, and that person orgroup is sure to abuse that power because, just as Lord Acton says, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."10.Traditionally in our country, school education was always said to be more important anduseful compared with all other pursuits.Unit 21.You know what?

2014101018课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Transla tion of Text A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。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11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。
12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。

第十课神奇的电话安瓦尔·F·阿卡维1.我在马格达路娜长大，那是锡丹东面梯形石头山里的一个黎巴嫩小村庄，时间对于所有的人来说都无关紧要，大概只有那些生命垂危的人除外。
那时候，人们根本不需要日历或手表来知道时辰、日子、月份和年代。
我们知道什么时候该做什么事情，就像伊拉克雁一样，在从沙漠刮来的热风的驱动下，知道何时飞往北方。
我们当时惟一需要的计时器就是太阳。
日出日落，寒来暑往，我们播种、收获、吃饭、玩耍，嫁娶表姐表妹，生下孩子，孩子患了百日咳和水痘棗活下来的孩子长大后又与表兄妹联姻，生下孩子，孩子又得百日咳和水痘。
我们生活、相爱、劳动、死亡，没有必要知道是哪一年，甚至是哪一天几点钟。
2.这并不是说我们没有记录时间和生活中发生的重要事件的系统。
只不过我们的系统是天然的，更确切些，是上帝的日程表，因为它是上帝预先安排好的：地震、旱灾、水灾、蝗灾和瘟疫。
我们的日历虽然简单，但对我们来说非常有用。
3.仅举台塔伊姆卡里尔的生日为例，她是马格达路娜和周围村庄里最年长的妇女。
我问祖母：“台塔伊姆卡里尔多大年纪了？”4.祖母得想一会儿，才说：“我听别人告诉我，台塔是在那场把镇长家屋顶压塌了大雪后不久出生的。
”5.“那又是什么时候呢？”6.“哦，大概是在那场大地震发生的时候，东头房间的墙体都震出裂纹了。
”7.好啦，这对我来说就足够了。
你不能比这更精确了是吧？8.我们这个小村庄的人就是用这种方式回忆过去曾发生的事情的。
其中有一个最不同寻常的日子，就是龙卷风来的时候，那次从天上掉下来了鱼和橘子。
虽然这件事听起来令人难以置信，这个关于龙卷风掉下鱼和橘子的故事却是真实的，因为想拯救灵魂而不愿说谎的人们再三讲起这个故事，直到记入马格达路娜的日历中。
9.龙卷风下鱼雨还不是最后一个令人瞩目的念头，随后又发生了许多奇妙的事件。
譬如，有一年发生了大旱，老天一连几个月也不下雨，那个为全村人提供饮用水的泉眼慢得成了涓涓细流。

现代大学英语课文译文V-10“9. 11”事件前后泰·摩西1．世贸大厦双塔的废墟还在曼哈顿区南端闷燃，微风将几千人的身躯化成的灰烬吹起，一个新的焦虑时代由此开始。
如果有人在9月11日那天像瑞普·凡·温克尔那样恰好睡去，一觉醒来，眼前的这一派景象定让他瞠日结舌。
2．机场里驻进了背着V-16自动步枪的国民警卫队员。
纽约扬基体育场上空的空域因美国总统亲临美国两大职业棒球联赛的决赛而关闭，禁止飞机通过。
体育场的屋顶之上还部署了一排狙击手。
副总统的保卫员们忙不迭地将他不断转移，正如他那难以对付的仇敌奥萨马·本·拉丹一样，据推测他此刻也在世界另一头从一个山洞转移到另一个山洞。
议员们在炭疽病的恐慌中弃岗而逃。
3．“9·11”事件将我们的世界划为截然不同的两个时代。
我们带着惆怅，目送“9·11”之前的世界在怀旧的暗淡色彩中随记忆的小筏渐渐漂走远去。
在我们的记忆中，这个突遭袭击的世界永远如诗如面，牢不可破(虽然实际并非如此)。
谈到它时，我们总是像在谈论亡灵，语气异常恭敬。
4．与此同时，“9·11”之后的日子就像没有标志的荒地呈现在人们面前。
与历史上前几次拓荒一样，这场激烈的精神、政治和物质的资本战正在打响。
前总统比尔·克林顿称这次较量是“争夺21世纪灵魂的战争”，最后的战利品还包括我们最珍视的价值观和自由。
在这场战争中，布什政府的将士们首当其冲，这些视国家安全重于民众自由的官员们准备把他们一贯实行的镇压政策带入未来。
5．不过，光明的一面仍旧存在：越来越多的人开始反对这种多疑和自大，并对这种视安全为国家最高目标的做法提出质疑。
人们开始辩证地思考，对基本上得不到主流媒体重视的和平这一主题热烈讨论。
主流媒体一直以为公众的想法只有红、白、蓝三种颜色，殊不知人们的情感、思想和观点正如美国本身，是多姿多彩的。
6．在2001年11月肯·凯西去世前夕，他以独有的简洁对美国做了这样的描写：“穿西装的人(美国官员)告诉我们穿军装的人(美国军队)怎样对付一味窝藏他人(本·拉丹及“基地”组织成员)的人(塔利班)。
”即将离开人世的人具有的先知使凯西大胆地将这场战争称做仍是历史上一直存在的野蛮的雄性侵略性方式和“或许刚刚处于萌芽阶段的胆怯和脆弱的处理方式”的角逐。
和许多仍旧持这种观点的美国人一样，凯西渴望未来的世界能够建立在互相合作、信任和理智的思考之上。
不再坚不可摧7．纽约和华盛顿遭受的恐怖袭击使美国人不再相信无所不胜这一美国精神的主要特征。
“9·11”事件之后，我们用新眼光对视，并提出新的问题。
如果你乘坐的飞机就要失事，你会用手中的移动电话与谁通话?学者们认为这个国家已经不再纯真，却没有认识到纯真对一个超级大国并不可取。
8．一夜之间，美国感觉到达摩克利斯剑正悬挂在头上，一个接一个以多疑为主调的超现实的插曲出现了：全国抢购防毒面具，邮局辐照所有邮件，严防生物袭击，更让人感到可怕的是专栏上发表的文章，有人扬言，如果再有一名美国人因恐怖分子死亡，美国政府将有理由对穆斯林国家动用核武器。
9．“9·11”事件让我们认识到许多无可争辩的事实，其中有一点就是即使在美国本土也无法保证我们免受伤害。
美国人现在和世界上千百万生活在武装冲突和恐怖活动每天都夺走生命的地区的人们有了更多共同之处。
我们也陷在马斯洛金字塔的底层，为重获安全感而挣扎。
10．这种新的时代精神竟然会让艾丽·麦克比尔这位从不关心政治的人对世界大事也开始担心起来。
艾丽·麦克比尔认为人与人之间的关系“在9月世界变化之前”并非如此困难，对此他感到十分痛惜。
《纽约重案组》中，一个侦探指责另一侦探，说他并不是“世贸大厦事件惟一的受害者”。
11．我们这种巨大的心理创伤最明显的症状就是一种新的狂热的爱国主义。
为了寻求安慰，全国上下都裹进了国旗，就像一个披着超人斗篷扮无敌英雄的小孩子。
家里、各种交通工具上、衣服上、商店的橱窗里、广告牌上、电视广告里……星条旗处处可见。
以前除了在7月4日之外不会想到国旗的人现在一下子都充满激情地成了爱国者。
对我们某些人来说，爱国主义是个复杂的东西，与是否忠于宪法有关。
可是现在，无处不在的国旗可能象征着美国的自豪和统一，有时看上去未免像是对受伤的自我的过度补偿。
国旗不过是个象征，它能够给人提供的保护不会与带有耐克品牌标志的商品有多大差异。
观点的硬化12．人们曾一度不再认为奥韦尔的小说《1984》是一部预言，不过小说巾的描写与我们“9·1l”事件之后这不再完整的时代的确大有相似之处。
他描写反面乌托邦时说，“一些长期以来已经放弃不用的做法，有些甚至几百年来都已废除的做法，例如未经审讯即监禁……公开处决、严刑拷打逼供……不仅又普遍实行起来，而且也为那些自认为开明进步的人所容忍，甚至辩护。
”奥韦尔认为这种突发的社会变化起源于“普遍硬化的观点”。
13．如今的美国将这种观点的硬化称为反恐战。
14．在最前线，国家的新护卫们正制定作战目标、作战方法并进行心理准备。
不过，我们许多人是用公民的自由来定义个人安全和民族性的，而这些自由现在在国家安全的名义下不得不做出让步。
我们现在正在放弃的可能会远远超过“9·1l”事件从我们身边带走的。
15．比如，在恐怖事件后的几周内，司法部未经审判便秘密逮捕了许多年轻的阿拉伯人和穆斯林教徒。
不公布他们的名字，也不允许他们通知其家人。
他们就此消失。
乔治城大学法学教授戴维·科尔将其称为“失踪惯例”。
我们往往认为这种惯例会出现在实行镇压政策的国家，不会出现在分享民主制的国家。
这不仅会减少国人对我国的公正的信心而且一定会在国际上影响美国的可信度。
如果我们无法再坚持我们的理想和价值观，无法坚持我们在过去一直号召其他国家遵守的准则，那么我们就会对自己的身份这一基本的假定产生怀疑。
我们一定要买到底?16．一位正统派犹太教教士曾经和我说过要未雨绸缪。
这位教士谈的虽是人际关系，但这句名言也非常适合当今的地缘政治情况。
也就是说，让我们看看这个日耗油达2000万桶的离不开石油的国家。
这个国家正在走入萧条，刚刚对给他提供大部分油料的地区宣战。
难道减少对石油的消耗不是明智又爱国的举动吗?17．可是，运动型多用途车和耗油量大得惊人的油老虎的销量却一直在上升，预计将首次超过小客车的销量。
汽车制造商对这一爱国行为异常兴奋。
“商家和消费者应该携手为树立全国人民的信心、保持经济发展做出努力，”通用公司副总裁比尔·洛夫乔伊对运动型多用途车的预计销量将达到350万辆充满信心。
18．恐怖袭击刚刚过去，美国人在朋友和邻居身上看到了他们自己的痛苦、恐惧和忧虑，人们将目光又重新投向了社区。
一度泛滥的物质主义和随之而来的可怕的孤独感和强迫症曾经让社区从这个国家的人们心中消失。
社区比不上大购物中心，比不上200多个卫星电视频道，比不了电子游戏，也比不了70小时的工作周。
社区需要人们走出家门，欢聚畅谈，放声高歌，互问互答，辩论输赢。
它是一个市场，而思想和创新就是用来完成交换的中介。
19．可是，既然我们的经济的存在取决于大众消费，很快，政府和大工商企业就杜撰出了一个“经济爱国主义”的概念。
这个弗兰肯斯坦式的概念主张消费是美国价值观，认为美元会让人忘掉一切忧愁。
实际上，这是在阻碍人们进行理性的反思，而在此时这种反思又是十分重要的。
布什总统号召人们将工作和生活恢复正常，他认为我们希望尽快地重建以前的世界。
不过，不是人人都乐于保持沉默．买个不停。
“9.11”之前的世界一去不复返，不管是信用卡还是新汽车都换不回。
我们当中有好多人希望加入到这个刚刚显示出生命力的社区中来。
许多担心经济恶化的公民都拒绝无节制的消费，而且正在寻找措施，以便使我国更加自给自足，并且随时准备应付今后会出现的艰难时刻。
历史的教训20．一个未留下姓名的救援人员，在世贸大厦的废墟中救援时，说他无法向家人描述爆炸中心地带的情况。
每次要开口时，他都发现自己无话可说。
一群自杀性的恐怖分子用几把开箱刀。
就可以让高楼倒塌，几千人的生命一下子消失，这样的事情没有先例，无法类比。
“9·11”就是“9·11”。
21．的确可以说，“9·11”事件是我们时代的危机，也是我们国家的爆发点，但它在历史上并非绝无仅有。
这不是现代社会巾强大的外部力量对人类的第一次打击，这种力量也不是第一次被定义为邪恶。
每一次危机似乎都产生了一种新模式，使这种暴行不会重演----可是暴行再一次出现。
1941年，两天之内共有34，000无辜的犹太人在巴比谷惨遭杀害。
在广岛，仅一天就有13万人丧生。
仅隔三天，在长崎．又有75，OOO人失去生命。
22．对这一切，我们要正视。
历史就像一个画廊，让人们看到了罄竹难书的各种恶行。
在这里，人们看到在一座海滨城市上空升起的蘑菇云，一个皮肤被烧焦的女人，一副骨架紧紧拥抱着一个小孩子大小的骨架，一架斜插过摩天大楼的飞机以及正在倒塌的摩天大楼。
不知姓名的男男女女手拉手从世贸大厦的顶层坠下，奔向死亡。
历史会像记住庞贝古城废墟中的恋人一样记住他们。
我们把这些看作是梦魇花园中的毒花，常着魔似的想起它们，冥思苦想其中的含义。
广岛、巴比谷、德累斯顿和安提坦留给我们什么启示?“9·11”事件又告诉我们什么?23．答案可能就是：我们的痛苦不是惟一的痛苦；我们还没有完全摆脱痛苦；追求和平仍是我们最高尚的事业。
真正的勇气24．“组成一个国家的人民有多强大，这个国家就有多强大，人民希望周家如何发展，国家就会如何发展，”詹姆斯·鲍德温写道。
“我们让我们现在居住的世界成了这个样子，我们有必要重建这个世界。
”25．我们怎样才能不再焦虑，行动起来?怎样才能不冉恐慌，充满自信?全国上下怎样才能不再多疑．人人都安定下来?我们的民主果真如此不堪一击，225年的自由就这样被四个飞机炸弹毁掉?再明显不过．只有世界其他人民真正拥有永久和平时我们才会拥有和平。
这就是这次冲突带给人们的挑战，也是一场保卫21世纪灵魂的斗争。
26．9月11日的早晨是个美丽的早晨，阳光明媚。
一个人----普通的美国人----用移动电话拨通了妻子的电话。
“我们都不会活下来，”当联合航空公司93号航班在宾夕法尼亚郊外上空倾斜时托马斯·伯内特说，“但是我们当中会有人还击的。
”我们只知道托马斯·伯内特后来死得很恐怖。
他和同机的乘客没有因绝望的恐惧止步不前----这才是真正的勇气。
27．93号航班上发生的一切成为这个国家反对恐怖主义的第一个真正胜利，民主传统功不可没。
机上乘客想出一个办法，并且投票决定。
有的乘客要冲向劫匪，让飞机就地坠毁，使劫匪让华盛顿特区成为自杀性袭击目标的计划没有得逞。
