Discovery 发现

Diane Ackerman/迪安.阿克曼

Theword discovery literallymeans, uncovering somethingthat shiddenfromview.But what really happens isachangein the viewer.Thefamiliaroffers comfort few can resist, and fewerstill wantto disturb. But asrelatively recent i nventions such as thetelescope and microscopehavetaught us, theunknown has many layers.Every truth has geologicalstrata, and youcanthave a northodoxy without a heresy.Themomentanewborn opensits eyes, discoverybegins.Ilearned this with alaugh one morning afterdeliveringa calf. Whenit liftedupits fluffyhead andlooked atme,its eyes held theabsolutebewilderment ofthenewly born. Amomentbefore it had theeven black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was fullof colour,movement and noise.

I veneverseenanything so shocked to bealiv e.

发现一词,字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适,愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而,正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的,求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次,没有异端也就无所谓正统。新生

儿睁开双眼的那一刻起,发现也就开始了。我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的,不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我,目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前,它还呆在母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方,突然,它的世界变得五光十色,变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。

If I Were A Boy Again假如我又回到了童年

If I were aboy again, I would practice perseverance more often,andnever giveup athingbecauseitwas or inconvenient. Ifwe want li ght, we must conquer darkness.Perseverancecan som etimes equalgeniusin its results. There are onlytwocreatures,syasaproverb,whocan surmount the pyramids the eagle and the snail.If I were a boyagain, I wouldschool myselfinto a habit of attention; I would letnothing comebetween me and thes ubject inhand.Iwould remember thatagood s kater never tries to skate in two directions at on ce.Thehabit of attention becomes part of ourlife, if we begain early enough.I often hear grown uppeople say I couldnotfix my attention onthe sermon or book, althoughI wishedtodoso ,and the reasonis, the habitwas not formed inyouth. If I were to live my lifeoveragain, Iwouldpay more atten tion to thecultivationof the memory.I would streng thenthat faculty byeverypossible means, and onevery possibleoccasion.It takesalittle hard workat first to rememberthings accurately;but memory soon helpsitself, and gives verylittletrouble.It only needsearlycultivation to become apower.

假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干,我们要光明,就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说:能登上金字塔的生物,只有两种鹰和蜗牛。假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成专心致志的习惯;有事在手,就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记:优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯,它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说: 虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书,但往往做不到。而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。假如我现在能重新开始我的生命,我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法,并且在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西,在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事,只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能。

If I were a boy again,Iwould cultivate courage.Nothing is so mild andgentle as courage,nothing so cruel andpitiless as cowardice,syasawiseauthor.We too often borrowtrouble,and anticipate tha tmay never appear.The fear of illexceeds the il lwe fear.Dangerswill arisein any career,bu tpresence of mind will often conquerthe worst of them. Be prepared for anyfate,and there isnoharm tobe freared.IfIwereaboy again, I would look onthe cheerfulside.Life is very much like a mirror:if you smile upon it, I smiles backupon you; but if youfrown and look doubtful on it, youwill get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms notonly the heart of the owner,but of allthat come in contactwith it. whoshuts love out ,in turnshall be shut out fromlove. If I werea boy again, I would schoolmyself to say nomoreoften. Imight writepages on the importance oflearning very earlyinlife to gain that point where ayoung boy canstand erect,anddecline doingan unworthyact because itis unworthy. If Iwerea boy agai

n,I woulddemand of myself more courtesy towards mycompanions andfriends, and indeed towards st rangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the roughroadsoflifearelike the little birds that sing t ous all winterlong, andmake that season ofi ce andsnowmore endurable. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that werethesolepurpose oflife,Iwould , ifIwere aboy again,I would still try harderto make othershappy.

假如我又回到了童年,我就要培养勇气。一位明智的作家曾说过: 世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅,也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。我们常常过多地自寻烦恼,杞人忧天。怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕。凡事都有危险,但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备,那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了。假如我又回到了童年,我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子:你朝它笑,它也朝你笑;如果你双眉紧锁,向它投以怀疑的目光,它也将还以你同样的目光。内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心,也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。谁拒爱于门外,也必将被爱拒诸门外。假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成经常说不字的习惯。一个少年要能挺得起腰,拒绝做不应该做的事,就因为这事不值得做。我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性。假如我又回到了童年,我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌,而且对陌生人也应如此。在坎坷的生活道路上,最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟,那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受。最后,假如我又回到了童年,我不会力图为自己谋幸福,好像这就是人生唯一的目的;与之相反,我要更努力为他人谋幸福。

乡村客栈一个阴雨的星期天

A Wet Sunday In A CountryInn

A wetSunday in acountryinn !Whoever has had the luck to experience one(1) can alone judgeof(2)my situation. The rain pattered against t

乡村客栈一个阴雨的星期天!凡有幸度过这样一天的人,都能体会我现在的处境。雨点子噼噼啪啪地打在窗子上,教堂里传来沉重的钟声,召唤人们去做礼拜.我走到窗前,想找一些赏心悦目的东西,但看来我已完全被摒于一切欢乐之外.从卧室的窗口望出去,是一片砖瓦的屋顶和林立的烟囱,而从起居室的窗口往下看,则能望见整个马厩院子。我觉得再电没有比雨天的马厩院子更令人厌舸的了.遍地是淋湿了的稻草,被旅客和小马倌们踢得凌乱不堪。在院子的一角,一潭污水围着孤岛似的粪堆,几只几平被雨水淋透的鸡簇拥在一辆马车底下,其中一只可怜的公鸡,倒垂着鸡冠,被淋得没精打彩,毫无生气,它那耷拉着的尾巴粘结在一起,仿佛只成了一根羽毛,雨水顺着它从背脊往下直淌,高马车不远处.有一头睡跟惺忪的奶牛,嘴里嚼着反刍的食物,默默地站在那里,任凭雨水打在身上,湿淋琳的背上日出缭绕的水气;一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的马厌倦了马厩里的寂寞,把它那幽灵似的脑袋从窗口探了出来,屋檐上的雨水漓沥滴沥地落在它头上;一只不幸的杂种狗被链条拴在近旁的狗窝里,时时发出似吠似嗥的声音;一个邋遢厨娘拖着木屐,迈着沉重的步子在院子里进进出出,她那郁郁不乐的神色,就象阴沉的天气一样;总之,除了一群饱经风雨的鸭子,象饮酒作乐的朋友那样聚集在污水潭的四周呷呷嬉水而外,这儿的一切都令人感到凄凉的沮丧。
