UNIT1 TEXT A 斯蒂夫·普罗迪上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法,即认为他们的老师当年都是些神童。

不管怎么说,除了不像一般孩子那样生性贪玩、不愿学习的书呆子之外,还有谁愿意长大后当老师呢?我竭力向我的学生们解释我在他们心目中的形象---- 一个在青春期热衷于书本和作业的人---- 有一点被扭曲了。

相反,我极为憎恨义务教育。

我永远都无法接受在鱼儿上钩时不得不去上学的想法。

但是,在我中学二年级的时候,发生了一件美妙而又激动人心的事。

爱神丘比特瞄准他的箭,正好射中了我的心。

突然间,我喜欢上学了,而这只是为了能够凝视英语二班里那张可爱的脸。

我的公主坐在卷笔器旁边,那一年我削的铅笔足以点燃一堆篝火。

可黛比却远远超出了我的期望。

将我们隔开的不仅有五排课桌,还有约50分的智商。

她是英语二班的尖子,拉里维太太的掌上明珠。

偶尔,黛比会发觉我在盯着她看,这时她便会露出一个闪烁着智慧光芒,令我心跳加快的微笑。

这是一个标志着希望、使我暂时忘记将我们分开的智力上的鸿沟的微笑。

我想尽办法去跨越那条鸿沟。

有一天,我经过超市,突然想到了一个主意。

橱窗里的一块广告牌称商店正以29美分的特价供应一套百科全书的第一卷。

其余各卷则为每卷2.49美元。

我买下了第一卷---- 从Aardvark(土豚)到Asteroid(海星)---- 然后开始了在知识世界中的冒险历程。

打那以后,我将成为一个事实探寻者。

我将成为英语二班的首席智者,以渊博的知识使我的公主倾心于我。

我全都计划好了。

一天,在自助餐厅排队时,我的第一个机会来了。

我往身后一看,她正好在那儿。

“嘿,”她说。

我犹豫了一下,然后润了润嘴唇说,“知道凤尾鱼是从哪儿来的吗?”她显得有点惊讶。

“不,我不知道。

”我松了口气。

“凤尾鱼生活在咸水里,淡水里很少见。

”我不得不讲得很快,以便在我们到达收银台之前,道出所有的细节。

“渔民们在地中海和邻近西班牙、葡萄牙的大西洋海岸捕捉凤尾鱼。

第一课Seeing this style really made me curious. So one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don‟t get it! You can‟t be a positive person all the time. How do you do it?”Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, …Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‟ I choos e to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”“Hey, it‟s not that easy,” I protest ed.“Yes it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good or bad mood. The bottom line: it‟s your choice how you live life.”看到他这种风格确实令我感到好奇。

Unit 1 Text A 什么才是真正的勇气?在六年前的一次班机上,我终于见证了什么才是真正的勇气。

直到今天,当我回忆这件事的时候,才不至于热泪盈眶。

星期五早上,当我所乘坐的班机LlO1l从奥兰多机场起飞时,乘客们都心情爽朗、兴致高昂。

搭乘早班机的人主要是前往亚特兰大出差一、两天的职业人士。

我环顾四周,尽是老练的商务乘客的装束:名牌套装、皮质公文包等。

我往后坐了坐,准备读些轻松的东西,舒服地度过接下来的短暂飞行。

刚起飞不久,大家就明显感觉到有些不妥。

机舱忽上忽下,左右摇晃。

所有有经验的旅客,包括我在内,看着周围的人,都会心地笑了。

大家的表情表明,谁都经历过飞机上的这些小状况。

如果飞机乘多了,你就会碰到这样的事情,就知道该如何适应这些状况了。

可是,我们的心没能平静多久。

飞机在空中飞了没几分钟,就突然一只机翼朝下,疯了似地往下坠了。

飞机又向上攀升,但这并不起什么作用。

不起作用。

没过多久,飞行员就严肃地向乘客通报了情况。

“我们遇到些麻烦,”他说,“现在情况是飞机的一个引擎失控了。

指示器显示我们的液压系统已经失灵,飞机要立刻返回奥兰多机场。

由于缺乏液压,所以我们不确定起落架是否能固定得住,着陆时会很颠簸,空乘人员会帮您做好准备。

另外,如果您向窗外看一下的话,就会看到我们正在倾倒飞机燃料。

我们希望在紧急着陆且颠簸严重的情况下,尽可能减少飞机上的燃料。

”换句话说:我们就要坠机了。

数百加仑的燃料从燃料箱中倾倒出来,在我面前的舷窗外流下,没有哪种景象能比这更令人清醒的了,乘务人员帮助乘客们摆好缓冲姿势,并安慰着那些已经异常激动的人们。

我看了一下周围的商务旅客,他们面部表情的变化让我感到惊讶。

许多人显然被吓坏了,即便是那些最冷静的乘客此时也脸色苍白,表情非常严肃。

的确,他们看上去面如死灰,这是我从未见过的。

我想面对死亡没有人不害怕,每个人面对这种情况都会不同程度地失去镇静,无一例外。

我开始在人群中寻找,看看有没有人在这种情况下仍然保持平静和镇定,这只有真正拥有勇气和坚定信念的人才能做到。

21世纪大学英语第三册readingaloud翻译第一篇:21世纪大学英语第三册reading aloud 翻译Unit 1A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies.Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus.On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion.I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法,即认为他们的老师当年都是些神童。

不管怎么说,除了不像一般孩子那样生性贪玩、不愿学习的书呆子之外,还有谁愿意长大后当老师呢?我极力向我的学生们解释,我在他们心目中的形象—一个在青春期热衷于书本和作业的人—有一点被扭曲了。

相反,我极为痛恨义务教育。

我永远都无法接受在鱼儿上钩时不得不去上学的想法。

Unit 2 Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence.They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience.Consequently, they are defenseless(incapable of fending for themselves)and blameless(incapable of real sin).That's why we grant them special protection.In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands.And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.孩子们之所以有权享受特殊照顾有两个理由:无助和无辜。

UNIT1 Free Trade Has Enriched the World with More than Diverse Goods自由贸易给世界带来的不仅是丰富多彩的商品By Daniel GriswoldTune in to cable TV, talk radio, or the blogosphere and you will soon be hit over the head with the message that free trade is destroying America. According to the economic populists on the left and right, the wages, jobs, and futures of Main Street Americans are being sacrificed daily to the gods of globalization.只要打开有线电视、收音机或博客网,你很快就会惊讶地获悉:自由贸易正在摧毁美国。

据左右两派经济民粹主义者所说,美国普通老百姓的工资、工作和未来天天都在被当作供品献祭给全球化的神明们。

On trade, as on so much else, the populists have it wrong again. Free trade and globalization are great blessings to American families. Trade is delivering lower prices and more variety to consumers, especially the poor, while creating better paying jobs for the middle class. Beyond the US shores, the spread of economic openness is building a more peaceful, democratic and humane world for our children.就像在其他许多事情上一样,这些民粹主义者们在贸易问题上又搞错了。

Unit1 赞美之词的魔力一次,一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦:他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌,数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。

“即使一个星期能赚10万美元,”他说,“那也像人间地狱一般。

”不仅演员需要掌声,没有赞扬和鼓励,任何人都会失去信心。

因此,我们都有着双重需求:被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。

说赞美的话是有技巧的,有正确的说法。

比如,因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人,这不是真正的赞扬。

你得运用辨别力和创造力。

“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力,”一次,一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说,“我禁不住想,您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。

”听到这意外的溢美之词,那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。

无论声名显赫还是默默无闻,没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。

耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日,我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。

服务员递给我菜单时,我说,‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪!’服务员惊讶地看着我说:‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好,对服务评头论足,还埋怨太闷热。

19年了,你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。

’人们所需要的,”费尔普斯下结论道,“是作为人能得到一点点关注。

”在那种关注中,真诚是至关重要的。

当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他,他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。

孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。

童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏,将会危及性格的发展。

一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事:“我的小女儿常常不听话,我不得不批评她。

但是有一天,她特别乖,没有做一件会挨批评的事。

当天晚上,我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时,听见她在抽泣。

我走回去,发现她把头埋在枕头里。

她一边呜咽一边问:‘难道我今天还不够乖吗?’”“那个问题,”那位妈妈说,“像把刀一样刺痛了我。

当她做错事时,我总是急于纠正,可是当她努力表现得好些时,我却没有注意。

心态——人生的选择之一Text unit1 鲍勃•哈里斯快乐的人并不是处于某种环境中的人, 而是具有某种心态的人。

——休•唐斯我和妻子特里在12月买了一辆新车。

尽管我们有机票可以从加州飞到休斯敦和她的家人一起过圣诞节,但我们还是决定开车去得州以磨合新车。

我们把东西装进汽车,离家去和外婆一起度过美妙的一周。

我们过得很愉快,在外婆家一直待到最后一分钟。

回来时,我们需要赶快到家,所以,我们便一路不停地行驶——一个人开车,另一个人睡觉。

在大雨中行驶了几个小时后,我们在深夜时到了家。

我们累坏了,只想冲个热水澡就爬上柔软的床去睡觉。

我感觉到无论我们有多累,我们都应该当晚把车上的东西卸下来,但特里只想赶快洗个澡就上床睡觉,所以我们决定等到早晨再卸车。

早晨7点钟的时候,我们恢复了精力,起床后准备卸车。

当我们打开前门时,私家车道上的车却不见了!特里和我面面相觑,回头再看车道,又彼此对视。

然后,特里问了一个奇妙的问题:“哟,你把车停哪儿啦?”我笑着回答:“就停在车道上。

”这时我们虽然知道我们停车的地方了,但我们还是走到外边,希望那辆车也许奇迹般地倒出了车道,停在了路缘边,但它没有。

震惊之余,我们报了警并提交了一份据说会启动我们的高科技追踪系统的报告。

为了保险起见,我又给追踪系统公司打了电话。

他们保证说在两小时内他们有98%的概率找回汽车。

两小时后,我又打电话问:“我的汽车在哪里?”“我们还没有找到,哈利斯先生,但是在4小时内我们有94%的找回率。

”又过去了两个小时。

我再次打电话问:“我的汽车在哪里?”他们再次回答说:“我们还没有找到,但在8小时内我们有90%的找回率。

”这时我告诉他们:“当我处于极小概率时,你的这些百分比对我毫无意义,所以在你们找到车时给我打电话吧。

”那天晚些时候,电视里播放了一条商业广告,一个汽车制造商在问:“你难道不想在你的车道上中有这样一辆车吗?”我回应道:“当然想!我昨天就有一辆。

”随着一天的时间慢慢流逝,特里变得越来越烦躁不安,因为她越来越多地想起放在车上的东西——我们的结婚照相簿、无法补偿的前几代人的家庭照、衣服、全套照相设备、我的钱包和我们的支票簿,这些还仅仅是列举的几项而已。

UNIT 3 TEXT B〔Chinese〕走在多伦多的街上,你很可能会碰撞到你不认识的人。

事实上,很可能是陌生人碰撞到你。

〔Chinese〕我知道我们生活在一心多用的世界。

我理解人们过着匆忙的生活。

但是,真不知道,这个春天哪里冒出来这么多心不在焉的行人?〔Chinese〕前不久正当我去给太太买鲜花时,一个少年在商店外上演了一场即兴的有点好玩的喜剧。

他边走边发短信,就因为这,他没有注意到摆放在人行道上的盆栽植物。

〔Chinese〕他被绊了一下,失去平衡,发出让人吃惊的喊叫:“Brwaa!”——然后倒在书店门口。

〔Chinese〕他并没摔疼,但感到尴尬,他站起来,气鼓鼓地看着前面标有打折牌子的圣诞树,然后又把注意力放在了数码小玩意上,拇指按着键,可能是一条重要的新信息。

“噢,老天,太好玩了,摔疼了屁股!”〔Chinese〕周末,我差一点撞到了一个女行人,她正专心于她的黑莓手机。

她没有注意到红灯。

她低着头,好像在祈祷。

举着手臂,好像拿着菜单。

而她的双脚不停地在走着,好像被一群想自杀的旅鼠遥控着。

〔Chinese〕她走下人行道,径直走到我的车道。

我使劲踩了一下刹车,气囊没有弹出真是个奇迹。

我揿了一下喇叭,她那危险的交流需求让我吃惊。

〔Chinese〕突然的警告使她从恍惚中回过神来,尽管是暂时的。

她瞥了一下红灯,退回到人行道,继续看着手中的屏幕,并没有因惊吓而喘气。

〔Chinese〕她似乎对此习以为常。

〔Chinese〕这些人是谁?难道他们在公共场所30秒钟不用他们炫丽的手机就无法活了?我想不起来自己会有如此紧急的电子邮件要发送或接收, 值得用自己的头撞电线杆,或摔倒在混凝土的台阶上,或让自己的脸栽倒在室外的喷水池里。

〔Chinese〕这就是心不在焉的行人的怪事。

他们似乎没有意识到这样一个事实:危险来自于他们自己,而不是其他东西。

上周在英国,一个23岁的白领边跑步边发微博。

重复一遍:这位男士边跑边使用微博!〔Chinese〕结果撞上了一根比较矮的粗树杆。

我们怎么变文明的斯蒂夫·普罗迪上学的孩子们中间有一种普遍的错误想法,即认为他们的老师当年都是些神童。

不管怎么说,除了不像一般孩子那样生性贪玩、不愿学习的书呆子之外,还有谁愿意长大后当老师呢?我竭力向我的学生们解释我在他们心目中的形象 ---- 一个在青春期热衷于书本和作业的人 ---- 有一点被扭曲了。

相反,我极为憎恨义务教育。

我永远都无法接受在鱼儿上钩时不得不去上学的想法。

但是,在我中学二年级的时候,发生了一件美妙而又激动人心的事。

爱神丘比特瞄准他的箭,正好射中了我的心。

突然间,我喜欢上学了,而这只是为了能够凝视英语二班里那张可爱的脸。

我的公主坐在卷笔器旁边,那一年我削的铅笔足以点燃一堆篝火。

可黛比却远远超出了我的期望。

将我们隔开的不仅有五排课桌,还有约50分的智商。

她是英语二班的尖子,拉里维太太的掌上明珠。

偶尔,黛比会发觉我在盯着她看,这时她便会露出一个闪烁着智慧光芒,令我心跳加快的微笑。

这是一个标志着希望、使我暂时忘记将我们分开的智力上的鸿沟的微笑。

我想尽办法去跨越那条鸿沟。

有一天,我经过超市,突然想到了一个主意。

橱窗里的一块广告牌称商店正以29美分的特价供应一套百科全书的第一卷。

其余各卷则为每卷2.49美元。

我买下了第一卷 ---- 从Aardvark(土豚)到Asteroid(海星)---- 然后开始了在知识世界中的冒险历程。

打那以后,我将成为一个事实探寻者。

我将成为英语二班的首席智者,以渊博的知识使我的公主倾心于我。

我全都计划好了。

一天,在自助餐厅排队时,我的第一个机会来了。

我往身后一看,她正好在那儿。

“嘿,”她说。

我犹豫了一下,然后润了润嘴唇说,“知道凤尾鱼是从哪儿来的吗?”她显得有点惊讶。

“不,我不知道。

”我松了口气。

“凤尾鱼生活在咸水里,淡水里很少见。

”我不得不讲得很快,以便在我们到达收银台之前,道出所有的细节。

“渔民们在地中海和邻近西班牙、葡萄牙的大西洋海岸捕捉凤尾鱼。

”“真有意思,”黛比一边说一边疑惑地摇着头。

显然我已经给她留下了一个挺深的印象。

几天之后,在一次消防演习时,我装作不经意地走到她身边,问,“去过阿留申群岛吗?”“从来没去过,”她答道。

“也许是一个旅游的好去处,但我肯定不愿意住在那儿,”我说。

“为什么不愿意呢?”黛比说,这正中了我的计。

“呃,那儿的气候太险恶。

在群岛的100多座岛屿中,没有一座有树木。

地上遍布岩石,几乎没有植物能在上面生长。

”“我想我连去旅游也不愿意,”她说。

消防演习结束了,我们开始排队进入大楼,所以我不得不赶紧再谈谈土著居民。

“阿留申人身材矮小,体格健壮,有着深色的皮肤和黑色的头发。

他们以鱼为主食,他们设陷阱捕捉北极狐和海豹,以获得它们珍贵的毛皮。

”黛比惊讶地睁大了眼睛。

一天,我正在图书馆里浏览书刊。

我发现黛比坐在一张桌子旁,正专心致志地做着一个填词游戏。

她皱着眉头,显然被一个词难住了。

我弯下身去问我是否能帮上忙。

“一个意为东方女佣的四字母词,”黛比说。

“试一试amah,”我以闪电般的速度说。

黛比填入空格,然后转过头惊讶地盯着我。

“我真不敢相信,”她说。

“简直不敢相信。

”那个光辉灿烂的、充满欢乐的、富有浪漫色彩的二年级就这样继续着。

黛比似乎很喜欢我们的简短交谈,全神贯注地听着我的每一句话。

自然,我读得越多,信心也越强。

在教室里,我也渐渐让别人感到了我的存在。

一天,在一次关于柯尔律治的《古舟子咏》的讨论中,我们碰到了albatross(信天翁)这个词。

“有谁能告诉我们信天翁是什么吗?”拉里维太太问。

我立刻举起了手。

“信天翁是一种大鸟,主要栖息在赤道以南的海域,不过也有可能在北太平洋发现它们。

信天翁身长达4英尺,翼幅是鸟类中最大的。

它以鱼类和带壳的水生动物为食。

信天翁胃口很大,吃饱后便很难再飞上天。

”许久,教室里鸦雀无声。

拉里维太太无法相信她刚刚所听到的内容。

我偷偷地瞥了黛比一眼,对她使劲眨了眨眼。

她自豪得笑容满脸,也对我眨了眨眼。

我未能察觉到的是那一阵子黛比正同一个邻近学校的三年级学生约会 ---- 一个平均分为C+的篮球运动员。

这一发现对我打击很大,有一度我真想忘掉所有学过的东西。

当时我已攒够了钱买第二卷 ---- 从Asthma(哮喘病)到Bullfinch(红腹灰雀)---- 但我真想去买一只篮球。

我觉得自己不仅受到了伤害,而且还遭到了背叛。

就象阿伽门农一样,不过感谢上帝,后果并没有那么严重。

最终我从伤痛中恢复了过来。

第二年,黛比搬离了这个街区,转到了另一所学校。

很快,她便成了记忆中的人物而已。

虽然最初的动力没有了,但我却继续钻研百科全书,以及越来越多的其它书籍。

已经品尝过知识的美酒,此时我已无法改变我的前进方向了。

因为:“一知半解,为害匪浅:开怀畅饮吧,否则就不要品尝埃里亚圣泉。

”亚历山大· 蒲柏如此写道,见第十四卷 ---- 从Paprika(红灯笼辣椒)到Pterodactyl (翼手龙)。

一位真正的女权主义者应该接受上救生船的优先权吗?查尔斯· 克劳瑟莫你在泰坦尼克II号轮上。

它刚撞上一座冰山,正在下沉。

像上一次一样,没有足够的救生船。

船长喊道:“妇女和孩子们先上!”但这一次,人们听到了另一个声音:“为什么妇女先上?”的确,为什么?大获成功的电影《泰坦尼克号》的部分魅力在于那个时代的服装,那个时代的奢华,和那个时代的偏见。

时隔多年,观众能够欣赏这些东西。

然而,奇怪的是,电影中的所有那个时代的观念中,“妇女和儿童优先”这一古老的海事传统却被现代观众全盘接受了。

听一听观众对那些试图同女士们一起----或抢在她们前面----偷偷溜上救生船的坏家伙发出的嘘声就知道了。

但是将妇女和儿童归为一类难道不是一种与时代极不相称的行为吗?难道任何一个自尊的现代人----更不用说女权主义者----不该视其为对女性的侮辱而加以反对吗?然而如今这种做法仍像1912年时一样普遍。

看看这些几乎是随意从最近的报纸上摘选的例子吧:“入侵者枪杀了印第安人,其中大多数为妇女和儿童……”“200名平民被杀,其中大多数为妇女和儿童……”“在阿米奇的大屠杀中,103名穆斯林被杀,其中包括33名妇女和儿童……”在一个妇女驾驶战斗机、经营跨国公司的时代,这种将成年妇女与儿童归为一类的惯常做法,怎能不让人皱眉蹙额呢?在阿米奇好像也有70名成年男子被杀。

那么有多少名成年妇女被杀呢?不清楚。

在事态严重时,在鲜血开始流淌或者轮船开始沉没时,你就会发现她们是和孩子们算在一起的。

孩子们之所以有权享受特殊照顾有两个理由:无助和无辜。

他们还不具备推理的能力或来自经验的智慧。

所以,他们不能自卫(不能照料自己),无可指责(不可能真正犯罪)。

这就是我们给予他们特殊保护的原因。

在紧急情况下,我们有责任先救他们,因为他们软弱无助,已将生命交付于我们手中。

在战时,他们应该受到特殊豁免权的保护,因为他们不可能会威胁或冒犯任何人。

“妇女和儿童”这句话将我们在五岁的孩子们身上看到的依赖性和道德上的单纯也赋予了妇女。

这样一种态度在男性特权占统治地位的时代也许还讲得通。

考虑到1912年时妇女被视为软弱无能的情况,在安排救生船的座位时,确实不宜突然宣布一种性别平等的新标准。

这种礼让----同在公共汽车上给女士让座一样,只不过更有点紧迫----对当时加在妇女身上的法律和社交限制是一种补充,或许在一定程度上是一种补偿。

但我们正在进行广泛的社会重组,在教育、就业、政府、管理、体育运动中给妇女以平等地位,在这样一个时代,是什么使妇女享有儿童的特权,并将她们贬至儿童的地位呢?进化心理学家们也许会说女士上救生船是一种为繁衍物种而形成的本能:妇女是必不可少的生儿育女者。

如果全部妇女和只有为数不多的男子幸存下来,一个村庄可以重新人丁兴旺,但如果全部男子和只有为数不多的妇女幸存下来,情况则不然。

因为从生物学的角度来讲妇女比男子更为珍贵,所以进化论的影响使我们把给予未来的另一颗种子----儿童的那份保护生命的礼让给予了她们。

然而,这种逻辑的问题在于它那种对妇女的简单贬低令人沮丧。

这完全像遗传学家的那个老笑话----蛋要生蛋只有变成鸡----的一种翻版。

但人类绝不仅仅是下蛋的鸡。

传统的礼让绝不只是伪装掩盖下的生存策略。

那我们为什么说“妇女和儿童”呢?也许事实上是“妇女为了儿童”。

最基本的亲情纽带来自于母亲。

父母同等的养育固然伟大,但是妇女,从哺乳、抚育到安抚的拥抱,能够以男性做不到的方式养育子女。

就这样,因为我们珍视孩子,所以妇女就该位居其后。

孩子们需要她们。

但是儿童中心论只能解释到这一步为止。

如果船上没有孩子又会怎样呢?你现在是在泰坦尼克III号轮上,这次是一群未婚者的航游。

没有孩子,没有父母。

瞧!撞上了冰山!快上救生船!马上行动!我的镜头设计是这样的:男士们出于完全非理性的英雄主义,应让女士们优先上船。

而女士们出于纯粹女权主义者的自尊,应予以拒绝。

结果呢?僵局。

这部电影怎么结局呢?它应该怎么结局呢?快,轮船正在下沉。

雷切尔· 卡森孩子的世界清纯、新鲜、美丽,充满了惊喜与激动。

不幸的是,对于我们大多数人来说,那种目光清晰的视觉----那种对于美的和令人敬畏的东西的真正直觉----在我们成年之前就模糊了甚至消失了。

倘若我能影响那些据认为能主宰所有孩童命运的天使们,我便会请求他们赠送给世界上每个孩子一种永不磨灭、持续终生的新奇之感。

如果孩子们没有从天使们那里得到这样的礼物,而又要保持他们与生俱来的新奇之感的话,他们至少需要有一个能分享这种新奇感的成人陪伴他们,同他们一起重新发现这个世界的欢乐、激动和神秘。

父母们一方面面对着孩子热切敏锐的头脑,另一方面面对着一个错综复杂的物质的自然界,所以经常会感到力不从心。

他们自暴自弃地感叹道,“我怎么可能教我的孩子有关大自然的知识呢----嗨,我连两种不同的鸟都分不清楚!”我真诚地相信,对于孩子们来说,对于想要指导他们的父母们来说,感受比知道要重要得多。

如果事实是以后能长出知识与智慧的种子,那么情感和感官印象则是种子必须赖以生长的沃土。

幼儿时期就是培育土壤的时候。

一旦情感被激起----一种对美的感受,对新的和未知事物的激动,一种同情、怜悯、敬慕或爱恋的感觉----我们就会渴望了解引起我们情感反应的事物。

一旦找到,这种知识就比纯粹的信息具有持久得多的意义。

为孩子们的求知欲铺平道路比向他们灌输一堆他们不准备吸收的事实更为重要。

即使你觉得你掌握的自然知识甚为寥寥,你仍可以为你的孩子做许多事情。

无论你身在何处,不管你智谋高低,你都依旧可以仰望天空----看它的拂晓与黄昏之美,看它的游云,看它夜晚时的星光。

你可以倾听风的歌声,无论它是用威严的歌喉呼啸着穿过森林,还是在你的公寓大楼拐角处唱着多声部的合唱。

而在倾听中,你可以让你的思想神奇地奔放。
