第二代属于工业技术博物馆,它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。

这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用,但是,它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。

世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。

在这里,观众可以自己去动手操作,自己细心体察。

这样,他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术,去探索科学技术的奥妙。

中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆~它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处,设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品,展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。

The first generations of museums in the world were museums of natural history,which made known the evolution of the earth and all kinds of living creatures by displaying to the audience fossils and specimens.The second generation museums were those of individual technologies.What they exhibited were achievements at different stages brought about by industrial civilization.These two generations of museums had helped to spread the scientific knowledge;however,they have regarded visitors as passive spectators.The third generation museums in the world give full expression_rs to various modern concepts and fresh ideas,where visitors can have acareful observation of the exhibits by having their hands on them,which bringsmuseum-goers closer to the advanced science and technology,closer to where their mystery lies.2001 CE:晚年的乔羽喜爱垂钓,他说,"有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的,好环境便会给人好心情。

2023专八翻译题汉译英专八翻译题汉译英篇1中文原文:愚蠢的男人和愚蠢的女人结婚是一种幸福;才智的.男人和聪慧的女人在一起是一种格调。

当两种情形不幸交叉,生活就像被贬谪为日子。

音乐的本质都是悲伤而缠绵悱恻的,一如艳阳下溪水带不走逆行的云彩,而落叶却兀自随溪水而去。

佳人本是天上云,晴朗明月下,秋色正浓时,一任寥落的雁声滑过而不侧目。

Translation:It is a blessing that foolish men get married with foolish women. It is exquisite that intelligent men stay with wise women. If unfortunately, they are mismatched, then life is diminished to days. The essence of all music is melancholy and sentimental, just like the feeling when you see the stream, flowing under the bright sun, cannot take any clouds going upstream away with it while the fallen leaves still choose to flow away with the stream by themselves without hesitation. Beautiful women are the clouds that do not even throw a glance at the wild geese making few cries in the sky in the bright and clear moonlight of deep autumn.专八翻译题汉译英篇2中文原文:中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切,在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有一个比例较为恰当的地位,而绝非对统治万物的主宰。

1.英译汉I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May;that it was Easter Sunday,and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing,as it seemed to me,at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation,but exalted,as was usual,and solemnized by the power of dreams.There were the same mountains,and the same lovely valley at their feet;but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height,and there was interspaced far larger between them of savannahs and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen,excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves,and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had once tenderly loved,just as I had really seen them,a little before sunrise,in the same summer when that child died.我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨;那天是复活节,一个大清早上。

专八经典翻译---汉译英篇

1)在得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家中横行霸道。

译文:Before I fell ill,I had been the bully under roofs owing to my doting parents.(PS:“横行霸道”在此并无“任意欺凌他人”之意,而是“想干什么就干什么,为所欲为”,可用get everything my all own way或be the bully表达)(2)这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才译文:The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society(PS:“输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词,具体说来是指“培养出”。

“人才”也比较笼统,这里译为qualified graduates 是比较确切的。

)(3)他是个“墙头草”,谁硬就跟谁。

译文:He always sits on the fence and falls on the side of the stronger.(PS: "墙头草”是个比喻,与英语中的sit on the fence 含义一样。

为了译出其内在含义,译文选择了舍弃其表面意义。

)(4)这样,每个地方都有自己的传说,风俗也就衍传了下来。

译文:Thus,every place,with its own legends and tales,has its traditions and customs passed on from generation to generation.(PS: 汉译英时,汉语中有些动词都可以用介词短语来表达,这样更形象。

)(5)面对一池碧水,将忧心烦恼全都抛在一边,使自己的身心得以充分休息。

译文:When facing a pool of green water,you forget all your worries and annoyance and enjoy a good rest,both mentally and physically.(PS: 英语代词比汉语代词种类多,用法更别多,汉译英时,注意增译出其隐含在句中的代词。

1. The American economic system is, organized around a basically private-enterprise, market- oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.[参考译文] 美国的经济是以基本的私有企业和市场导向经济为架构的,在这种经济中,消费者很大程度上通过在市场上为那些他们最想要的货品和服务付费来决定什么应该被制造出来。

2. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. [参考译文] 因此,在美国的经济体系中,个体消费者的需求与商人试图最大化其利润的欲望和个人想最大化其收入效用的欲望相结合,一起决定了什么应该被制造,以及资源如何被用来制造它们。

3. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product.[参考译文] 另一方面,如果大量制造某种商品导致其成本下降,那么这就有可能增加卖方和制造商能提供的供给,而这也就会反过来降低价格并允许更多的消费者购买产品。

英译中练习1Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life. At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet. Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world. Our world is bursting with knowledge---but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs. For all these reasons I believed and I believe even more strongly today in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.英译中练习2There are few words which are used more loosely than the word 'civilization'. What does it mean? It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot andtyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and independent courts of justice in which over long periods those laws are maintained. That is civilization and in its soil grow continually freedom, comfort and culture. When civilization reigns in any country, a wider and less harassed life is afforded to the masses of the people, the traditions of the past are cherished, and the inheritance bequeathed to us by former wise or valiant men becomes a rich estate to be enjoyed and used by all.英译中练习3In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age ofextravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.英译中练习4Birds and DeathThe bird, however hard the frost may be, flies briskly to his customary roosting-place, and, with beak tucked into his wing, falls asleep. He has no apprehensions; only the hot blood grows colder and colder, the pulse feebler as he sleeps, and at midnight, or in the early morning, he drops from his perch---death.Yesterday he lived and moved, responsive to a thousand external influences, reflecting earth and sky in his small brilliant brain as in a looking-glass; also he had a various language, the inherited knowledge of his race, the faculty of flight, by means of which he could shoot, meteor-like, across the sky, and pass swiftly from place to place; and with it such perfect control over all his organs, such marvelous certitude in all his motions, as to be able to drop himself plumb down from the tallest tree-top , or out of the void air , on to a slender spray , and scarcely cause its leaves totremble .

英语专业八级考试翻译练习(汉译英)2007 暮色中,河湾里落满云霞,与天际的颜色混合一起,分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。

也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边,在河湾之畔,一群羊正在低头觅食。

它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来,看一眼这美丽的黄昏。

也许它们要抓紧时间,在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。

这是黄河滩上的一幕。

牧羊人不见了,他不知在何处歇息。

只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。

这儿水草肥美,让它们长得肥滚滚的,像些胖娃娃。

如果走近了,会发现它们那可爱的神情,洁白的牙齿,那丰富而单纯的表情。

如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张面庞,还会生出无限的怜悯。

参考译文:Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep are lowing their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Y ellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully appreciating the dusk. The exuberant water plants have nutrited the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls. When approaching near, you would find their lily-white teeth and a variety of innocent facial impressions.2006中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切,在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占着一个比例较为恰当的地位,而非绝对统治万物的主宰。

因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。

但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。

有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。

这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。

史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。

也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the following underlined text into Chinese.I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured---the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life? For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’ orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self?I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it isharder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups ---when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities ---the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are, sadly, more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us.英语专业八级考试翻译练习(2)TRANSLATION (60 MIN)SECTION A: CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the following underlined text into English.近读报纸,对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多,于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬,随笔记下来,似乎不无借鉴之处。

英语专业八级翻译练习题1.英译汉(1)Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun.梭罗所理解的"低层次",即为了拥有而去拥有,或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。

人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看的都是他或她的优点。

这点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。

开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。

吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。

愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。

于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。

这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜加蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。

........2.(1)只有在我过于劳累,在我长时间无间断地工作,在我感到内心空虚,需要填补的时候,我才寂寞。

而有时在我巡回演讲后回家时,在我见了许多人,讲了许多话。

且经历多得需要清理时,我才寂寞。

(2)于是有那么小会儿感觉房子又大又空,我都不知道我的自我藏在哪儿了。

于是我会给植物浇浇水,或者将它们再挨个儿瞅瞅,好像它们是人一样。

这样我才慢慢地重新找回自我。

(3)好大一会儿,我看着水浪花从喷泉中涌出,但只有当世界在我身边逐渐消逝时,那一时刻才会到来,自我又从内心深处的无意识中冒出来,带来我最近的种种经历,让我探究,慢慢领会。

3.(`1)第二天清早,她起早出了门。

她走进批发行商业区,但是每当她走到一个商号,打算进去找工作时,她的勇气就消失了。

她心里骂自己是胆小鬼,所以她继续往前走,走了又走,最后终于走进了一家商号。

结果还是老样子。

她出来时感到命运在和她作对,因此一切努力都是徒劳的。

(2)她不知不觉中来到一个大商场,门口有成群的顾客。

这些立刻使她改变了想法。

她原先就是打算到这里来买新衣服的。

现在为了解愁,她决定进去瞧瞧。

她很想看看那些外套。

有时,一个人尽管想买东西,可是又因心里拿不定主意,所以在心里不断掂量权衡。

世界上再没有比这种中间状态更令人愉悦了。

4.深圳大学学术交流中心是深圳大学唯一的一所涉外宾馆。

英语专八翻译汉译英练习:进取的幸福
原文: 正是因为不停地追求进取,我们才感到生活幸福。一件事完成后,另一件随之而来,如此连绵不绝,
永无止境。对于往前看的人来说,眼前总有一番新天地。虽然我们蜗居于这颗小行星上,整日忙于锁事且 生命短暂,但我们生来就有不尽的希望,如天上繁星,遥不可及。只要生命犹在,希望便会不止。真正的 幸福在于怎样开始,而不是如何结束,在于我们的希翼,而并非拥有。
英语专八翻译英译汉练习:追忆往事
原文: The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of telling how
it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome ( it was before the time of railways ) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun’s beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars

126专八翻译练习汉译英50篇及参考译文Translate the underlined part of the text into English.1.在兽类中我最爱虎,在虎的故事中我最爱下面的一个。

深山中有一所古庙,几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。

同他们做朋友的,除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外,就是几只猛虎。

虎不惊扰僧人,却替他们守护庙宇。

作为报酬,和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。

每天傍晚,夕阳染红小半个天空,虎们成群地走到庙门口,吃了东西,跳跃而去。

庙门大开,僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课,也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西,即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前,虎们亦视为平常的事情,把他们看做熟人,不去惊动,却斯斯文文地吃完走开。

如果看不见僧人,虎就发出几声长啸,随着几阵风飞腾而去。

2.光绪二十六年,八国联军攻占北京。

慈禧太后弃城而走,一直逃到西安。

和谈开始后,她并未马上返回北京。

起初,外国列强的要求里面有一项是让慈禧太后退位,由光绪帝重新执掌朝廷。

不过,在与李鸿章多次会谈后,他们放弃了这一要求。

第二年正式签署和约,随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。

她对外国人万分惧怕,正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。

她在河南停留了很长一段时间,到了保定又逗留多日,好不容易才回到北京。

据野史记载,在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。

一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子,她颇为高兴,竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马褂。

后来太监报告说,有的官员发出了“人不如猴”的感慨,慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐,于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。

得到这殊荣之后,大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。

3. 中国对香港的政策是“一国两制”,这个原则不仅对香港经济发展有利,而且和中国本身的利益也是一致的。

我们不想使香港政府在过渡时期无法正常行使其职能,恰恰相反,我们希望它能有效地管理香港的事务,中英联合声明和建造新机场的谅解备忘录就是最好的保证。

至于1997年以后的,全国人民大会已通过了《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区基本法》。

3. 中国对香港的政策是“一国两制”,这个原则不仅对香港经济发展有利,而且和中国本身的利益也是一致的。

我们不想使香港政府在过渡时期无法正常行使其职能,恰恰相反,我们希望它能有效地管理香港的事务,中英联合声明和建造新机场的谅解备忘录就是最好的保证。

至于1997年以后的,全国人民大会已通过了《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区基本法》。

这个基本法就是最有利的保证。

4.在交叉路口转弯的时候,我的脚踏车把一位陌生先生的右脚踝压伤了。

这位先生一手牵扯着一个刚会走路模样的小男孩,一手牵着一个步履蹒跚的老中风病患者。

本来我可以安全避闪。

在我惊魂未定,讷讷不知所措的时候,那位先生已牵着小男孩和老者慢慢离去,我愣愣地目送他们,三个脚步迟缓的背景构成一幅感人的画面。

我有搁下车子跟上去帮助那位先生的冲动。

可是,我一直没有做;我发觉小孩和老者好像那位先生肩上的两头担子,再艰苦他也不肯放下任何一边的。

5.一个王朝之所以覆灭衰败的结果,绝非单独事件所造成的。

不过历史学者和史评家们常常挑出某些特定的事件,认为它们是导致旧朝代灭亡的主要原因。

他们有时甚至声称,假若不是因为某件事,改朝换代就不会发生。

清代就有不少学者把明朝的覆亡归咎于崇祯皇帝处决了他手下最具才干的大将袁崇焕。

还有一种法说盛行于通俗作家之中,认为使异族入主华夏的罪魁乃是一位叫陈圆圆的美貌女子,而她不过是山海关统兵大帅吴三桂花一千两银子买来作妾的一位歌女而已。

6.中国家庭一向尊老爱幼。

在大家庭里,老一辈人的意见受到尊重,小一辈的人得到全家的爱护。

中国宪法规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。

在城市里,不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人生活费并帮助他们干家务活儿。

在农村,尽管大家庭解体了,许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。

对他们来说,分家不过是分灶而已。

结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近,这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。

7.三峡大坝的建造是举世瞩目的最伟大的成就之一。

我对这项宏伟工程仍然充满敬畏:谁能想像高山会被移动,世界最大的河流之一会被人驯服,就为了造福13亿人民!中国人民似乎没有克服不了的困难。

他们正在构筑自己的未来,其规模与人民的需要相匹配。

如果谁真正了解中国人民的需求需要付出多大的努力,他们就不会对这种努力说三道四。

每个工业化国家在其发展的历史进程中,都有一个重大的阶段进行基础设施建设,造福于民。

中国目前正处在这样一个阶段,并且面临比所有其他国家更多更大的任务。

可以肯定地说,中国人民有能力完成三峡工程。

8.我的女人最喜欢养鸡。

她的目的并不在研究遗传,并不想有甚居积,充其量只是想给孩子们多吃几个鸡蛋罢了。

因此之故她总是爱养母鸡。

每逢母鸡要生蛋的时候,她真是欢喜极了,她要多些粮食给它,又要替它做窝。

有时候要做两三个窝。

鸡蛋节省着吃,吃到后来母鸡要孵卵的时候,那是她更操心的时候。

孵卵的母鸡每隔一天要飞出窝来摄取一次饮食,她要先替它预备好;又时常留心着不使母鸡在窝里下粪,因为这样容易使孵卵腐败,还有被孵抱着的鸡卵她也要常常把微温的盐水去试验,在水上可以浮起的便是腐败了的,她便要取出,沉下去的便仍使母鸡孵抱。

像这样足足要操心三个礼拜,等到鸡卵里面可以听见啾啾的叫声了,那时候她有两三天是快乐得不能安定的。

9. 我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的群众路线的优良传统和作风,真正相信和依靠群众,细心倾听群众呼声,关心群众疾苦,一刻也不脱离群众。

我们有这样好的人民,这样好的党员和干部,他们勤劳勇敢,觉悟很高,非常关心国家大事无限信任我们党。

这是我们党战胜一切困难在各方面夺取新的伟大胜利的可靠和保障。

我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的实事求是的优良传统和作风,作老实人,说老实话,办老实事。

这是一个共产党员的起码标准。

一定要言行一致。

理论与实际密切结合,反对华而不实和任何虚夸,少说空话,多做工作,扎扎实实,埋头苦干。

我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的批评和自我批评的优良传统和作风,在党内和整个人民内部,认真实行“知无不言,言无不尽”,“言者无罪,闻者足戒”的原则,实行团结—批评—团结的方针。

10. 提到童年,总使人有些向往,不论童年生活是快乐,是悲哀,人们总觉得都是生命中最深刻的一段;有许多印象,许多习惯,深固地刻画在他的人格及气质上,而影响他的一生。

说到童年,我常常感谢我的好父母,他们养成我一种恬淡、“返乎自然”的习惯,他们给我一个快乐清洁的环境,因此,在任何环境里都能自足、知足。

我尊敬生命,热爱生命,我对于人类没有怨恨,我觉得许多缺憾是可以改进的,只要人们有决心,肯努力。

我不但常常感念我的父母,我也常常警惕我们应当怎样做父母。

11. 我们找不出话来了。

对于这样的问题我还没有仔细思索过。

在我知道了他的惨痛遭遇以后,我究竟应该拿什么话对他呢?我看不见那个小子的脸,不知道他脸上的表情,但是从他刚才的话里,我知道对于他另外有一个世界存在。

没有家,没有爱,没有温暖,只有一根生活的鞭子在赶他。

然而他能够倔强!他能够恨!他能够用自己的两只手举起生活的担子,不害怕,不悲哀。

他能够做别的生在富裕的环境里的小孩所不能够做的事情,而且有着他们所不敢有的思想。

生活毕竟是一个熔炉。

它能够锻炼出这样倔强的孩子来。

甚至人世间最惨痛的遭遇也打不倒他。

12. 杜鹃,敝同乡的魂,在文学上占有的地位,恐怕任何鸟儿都比不上。

我们一提出杜鹃,心头眼底便好像有说不尽的诗意。

它本身不用说,已经是望帝的化身了。

有时又被认为薄命的佳人,忧国的志士;声是满腹乡思,血是遍山踯躅;可怜、哀惋、纯洁、至诚……在人们的心目中成了爱的象征。

这爱的象征似乎已经成为了民族的感情。

而且,这种感情还超越了民族的范围,东方诸国大都受了感染。

然而,这实在是名不符实的一个最大的例证。

13. 常听到这样的抱怨:做女人真吃力。

我深有同感,细究起来,这种吃力,不仅是体力上的,更主要的是心理上的。

万事万物由方方面面组成,而那个“男女都一样”的口号,只是向女人提出要求,却没有相同的口号要求男人和女人做得一样:一样耐心持久地抚育孩子一样任劳任怨地操持家务;一样尽心尽责地伺奉老人。

仔细想想,“男女都一样”的口号曾鼓励着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩,同时,女人却依然要做那些和男人不一样的事。

其实,所谓“一样”的口号,使女人在做着女人的同时再做男人;其实,所谓“一样”的口号,让女人们又给自己加重了一挑担子;其实,女人和男人在根本上还是不一样的。

14. 八十年代,有一姑娘号召:1.70米以下的男人均为“残废”。

于是全国未婚妇女青年纷纷揭竿而起。

我细细量过九十九次自己标高,实属“终生残废”系列。

但那时年少,血旺气盛,誓与凡俗抗争到底,于是连哄带骗将一净高1.74米女孩拐回家做起了太太,这一壮举颇为“残废人”们扬了一段眉吐了半口气。

将太太置回家中后我才意识到自己的悲哀,这一愤世之举不仅未了我“终生残废”而又平添我“终生遗憾“,我从未享受过将男人坚定有力的胳膊窝勾着太太姣美柔滑的后脖子上街遛弯的幸福。

这一幸福对我来说不仅意味着双脚要离开这生我养我的土地,而且神圣的肚脐亦将昭之于众。

15. 南方一小城火车站售票厅,一个面带菜色的十二三岁的男孩帮助一个很胖的中年妇女拎着大大小小的包朝检票口蹭去。

胖妇人在检票口前的候车队伍后面停稳脚步,掏出雪白的手帕抹擦脸上的油汗。

男孩在她的侧旁望着她,默默地望着,似是期待着什么。

他的汗湿的衣裳很旧却也算得干净,那右边肩后有一块方形的补丁贴着,使我想起了三十年前的生活。

男孩的神情谦和且平和始终,一言不发地等待着,那胖女人竟见也不见似地转动着肥胖的头看景致。

男孩终于尽失了希望怏怏地从妇人身边走开了。

望着他晃在风中的嶙峋瘦体,心里头突然窜上一股说不清是酸是涩的滋味。

我的手下意识地伸进衣兜,捏出一张钞票,想赶过去唤住他,然而脚步始终是未动。

我不知道当他见到与那胖妇人毫无关系的我递上钞票时会有怎样的态度。

我该告诉他,这不是施舍,可,这又是什么呢?16. 不过,这不平凡的成就在下一代人的平凡生活中充分展现出来。

我6岁的外甥女再也不会遭遇她父辈或祖辈经历过的日子。

她甚至可能永远无法充分理解,为什么必须进行卓绝的斗争,付出惨重的牺牲,她才能享受今天的生活。

她很可能与繁荣、舒适和安全一路同行。

她的祖国受全球尊重,也有意与其他国家结为朋友和伙伴——她会在这样一个令人羡慕的、获得成功的国度里长大成人,度过一生。

既然她将来只能经历这些,这一切对她来说再寻常不过了。

这其中就有一种异乎寻常的美,你不觉得吗?当异乎寻常之事变成了司空见惯之事,那就是所有进步和成功的最后阶段了——你说对吗?17. “不到长城非好汉”。

凡是到中国的旅客都愿意去浏览长城。

长城,东起山海关,西至嘉峪关,横跨中国北部,全长六千多公里,号称“万里长城”,是中国古代劳动人民智慧的结晶,是世界伟大的建筑奇迹之一。

中国最早的长城,远在公元前七世纪就已经出现了。

公元前221年,秦始皇统一六国后,把秦、赵、燕三国原有长城连接起来,绵延万余里,奠定今天长城的规模,以后历代均有修筑。

现存长城,是明代修建的。
