现代大学英语精读2第二版课文翻译UNIT1 又一学年——为了什么？约翰·切阿迪1.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。
那是1940年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。
一个瘦高，长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说：“好吧，教我一些东西。
”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。
三周后他双手叉腰走进我的办公室，“看，”他说，“我来这是学习当药剂师的。
我为什么必须读这个？”由于没有随身带着自己的书，他就指着桌子上放着的我的那本。
2.虽然我是位新老师，我本来可以告诉这个家伙许多事情的。
我本来可以指出，他考入的不是制药技工培训学校而是大学，而且他在毕业时，应该得到一张写有理学学士而不是“合格的磨药工”的学位证书。
这证书会证明他专修过药剂学，但它还能进一步证明他曾经接触过一些人类发展史上产生的思想。
换句话说，他上的不是技能培训学校而是大学，在大学里学生既要得到培训又要接受教育。
3.我本来可以把这些话都告诉他，但是很明显，他不会待很长时间，说了也没用。
4.但是，由于我当时很年轻而且责任感也很强，我尽量把我的意思这样表达出来：“在你的余生中，”我说，“平均每天24小时左右。
谈恋爱时，你会觉得它有点短；失恋时，你会觉得它有点长。
但平均每天24小时会保持不变。
在其余的大约8个小时的时间里，你会处于睡眠状态。
5.“然后在每个工作日8个小时左右的时间里，我希望你会忙于一些有用的事情。
假设你毕业于一所药科大学——或工程大学，法学院，或者其他什么大学——在那8个小时时间里，你将用到你的专业技能。
作为一个药剂师，你要确保氯化物没有和阿斯匹林混在一起；作为一个工程师，你要确保一切都在你的掌控之中；作为一个律师，你要保证你的当事人没有因为你的无能而被处以电刑。
这些都是有用的工作，它们涉及到的技能每个人都必须尊重，而且它们都能给你带来基本的满足。

课文翻译Title: The Importance of Education正文：教育在现代社会中起着至关重要的作用。
它是一种获取知识和培养技能的过程，可以帮助人们实现自己的潜力并为社会做出贡献。
在现代社会中，教育被视为一种基本权利，每个人都应该有平等接受教育的机会。
通过教育，人们可以获得专业知识和技能，为将来的工作做好准备。
教育还可以帮助人们培养思考和分析问题的能力，提高他们的创造力和创新能力。
教育也对个人的发展和成长至关重要。
通过接受教育，人们可以发展出他们的潜能，掌握新的技能和知识，从而实现自我成长和进步。
教育可以帮助人们提高自信心，培养积极的态度，并为实现个人目标做好准备。
除了个人和社会的发展，教育还可以对整个国家的发展起到重要的推动作用。
一个教育水平高的国家往往更加繁荣和发达。
教育可以培养高素质的人才，提高国家的整体竞争力。
教育还可以帮助国家解决各种社会问题，促进社会和谐与稳定发展。
然而，尽管教育的重要性被广泛认可，但仍然存在一些挑战和问题。
例如，教育资源不平衡问题导致了教育机会的不公平分布。
一些地区和家庭可能缺乏适当的教育资源，导致教育的质量和效果不尽如人意。
此外，教育过程中的压力和竞争也对学生产生了巨大的压力，可能影响他们的身心健康。
为了解决这些问题，社会应该加大对教育的投入，提高教育资源的平衡性，并为学生提供更好的学习环境和条件。
同时，教育系统也需要不断改革和创新，以适应日益变化的社会和经济需求。
总的来说，教育是现代社会不可或缺的一部分。
它对个人的发展、社会的进步以及国家的发展都起着重要的作用。
我们应该重视教育，为每个人提供平等的教育机会，并共同努力建设一个更加公平和繁荣的社会。

.Unit21 我跟你说，从各方面考虑，当教师不失为一个好主意。
事实上，我认为这个主意好极了。
You know what ?All things considered,it’s not a bad idea to be a teacher. As a matter of fact,I think it is an excellent idea.2我不大喜欢你像刚才那样用讽刺的口气说话。
你好像老是在暗示，我是什么都不会的废物。
I don’t like it when you take a sarcastic tone the way you just did . You seem tobe implying all the time that I am a good-for-nothing.3我爸能让我作最后决定，真是很体谅人。
我得说我够幸运。
不是很多人都有这么好的父亲。
It is really considerate of my father to leave the final decision to me . I must sayI am very lucky.Not many people have such a terrific father.4你说你不要钱。
你可能不愿要，但你的确需要钱。
我看不出来大学生在课余时间挣点钱有什么错。
You said you do not want any money .You may not want money ,but you do need money .I don’t see what’s wrong with students earning some money during their spare time.5不知道为什么，这个曲调听起来很熟，但我就是记不起来了。

《现代大学英语精读》第二版第一册课文翻译第一课半日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。
从一开始我就结交了许多朋友，并且爱上了许多女孩。

Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform,and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwingme into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said myfather, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none ofthem knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady camealong, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable andbeneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love withmany girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learningnumbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter ofplaying and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to theparadise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which wasopened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, betweenearly morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。

土地的寓意皮拉·萨哈姆是的，这些事我们家的稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我的祖先。
这片土地已有三百多年的历史了。
我是家里唯一的闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世。
按照我们伊萨的习俗，我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家的门。
那是我十八岁，他十九岁。
我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了。
其余的俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤的时候就都离开了家。
大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远的地方。
我们的一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作。
有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好的。
我知道她们说的不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我的心头。
对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见。
他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己的那点事。
虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我的孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧。
我们的那块地不大，连年的使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我们老两口儿，慢慢老下去，且疲惫不堪。
不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿，雨量充足的时候，地还不难耕种，老天爷不下雨的年份，不光是我们的犁断了，我们的心也碎了。
没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们的村子变了哪些地方变了？就在十年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都用钱了。
几年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井。
这会儿，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙。
塑料玩意替代了村里手工做的东西，以前男人们还做点竹器，可如今没人干了。
现在村里到处都是乱扔的塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色的塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上的东西。
年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地。
我知道年轻人跟我们老年人的想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了。

现代大学英语第二版精读1课文翻译Lesson twelve
Lesson Thirteen Christmas Day in the MorningPearl S. Buck1. He woke suddenly and completely. It was four o'clock, the hour at which his father had always called him toget up and help with the milking. Strange how the habits of his youth clung to him still! His father had been dead for thirty years, and yet he still woke at four o'clock in the morning. But this morning, because it was Christmas, he did not try to sleep again.2. Yet what was the magic of Christmas now? His childhood and youth were long past, and his own childrenhad grown up and gone.3. Yesterday his wife had said, "It isn't worthwhile, perhaps— "4. And he had said, "Yes, Alice, even if there are only the two of us, let's have a Christmas of our own."5. Then she had said, "Let's not trim the tree until tomorrow, Robert. I'm tired."6. He had agreed, and the tree was still out by the back door.7. He lay in his bed in his room.8. Why did he feel so awake tonight? For it was still night, a clear and starry night. No moon, of course, butthe stars were extraordinary! Now that he thought of it, the stars seemed always large and clear before the dawn of Christmas Day.9. He slipped back in time, as he did so easily nowadays. He was fifteen years old and still on his father's farm.He loved his father. He had not known it until one day a few days before Christmas, when he had overheard what his father was saying to his mother.10. "Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He's growing so fast, and he needs his sleep. I wish I couldmanage alone."11. "Well, you can't, Adam." His mother's voice was brisk, "Besides, he isn't a child any more. It's time he tookhis turn."12. "Yes," his father said slowly, "But I sure do hate to wake him."13. When he heard these words, something in him woke: his father loved him! He had never thought of it before,taking for granted the tie of their blood. Now that he knew his father loved him, there would be no more loitering in the mornings and having to be called again. He got up, stumbling blind with sleep, and pulled on his clothes.14. And then on the night before Christmas, he lay thinking about the next day. They were poor, and most of theexcitement was in the turkey they had raised themselves and in the mince pies his mother made. His sisterssewed presents, and his mother and father always bought something he needed, a warm jacket, maybe, or a book. And he always saved and bought them each something, too.15. He wished, that Christmas he was fifteen, he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie fromthe ten-cent store. He lay on his side and looked out of his attic window.16. "Dad," he had once asked when he was a little boy, "What is a stable?"17. "It's just a barn," his father had replied, "like ours."18. Then Jesus had been born in a barn, and to a barn the shepherds and the Wise Men had come, bringing theirChristmas gifts!19. A thought struck him like a silver dagger. Why should he not give his father a special gift, out there in thebarn? He could get up earlier, creep into the barn and get all the milking done. And then when his father went in to start the milking, he'd see it all done.20. He laughed to himself as he gazed at the stars. It was what he would do, and he mustn't sleep too soundly.21. He must have waked twenty times, striking a match each time to look at his old watch.22. At a quarter to three, he got up and crept downstairs, careful of the creaky boards, and let himself out. A bigstar hung low over the roof, a reddish gold. The cows looked at him, sleepy and surprised. It was early for them, too.23. But they accepted him calmly and he brought some hay for each cow and then got the milking pail and thebig milk cans.24. He had never milked all alone before, but it seemed almost easy. He smiled and milked steadily, two strongstreams rushing into the pail, frothing and fragrant. The cows were behaving well, as though they knew it was Christmas.25. The task went more easily than he had ever known it to before. Milking for once was not a chore. It was agift to his father. He finished, the two milk cans were full, and he covered them and closed the milk-house door carefully, making sure of the latch. He put the stool in its place by the door and hung up the clean milk pail. Then he went out of the barn and barred the door behind him.26. Back in his room he had only a minute to pull off his clothes and jump into bed, before he heard his fatherget up. He put the covers over his head to silence his quick breathing. The door opened.27. "Rob! " his father called. "We have to get up, son, even if it is Christmas."28. "Aw-right," he said sleepily.29. "I'll go on out," his father said. "I'll get things started."30. The door closed and he lay still, laughing to himself. In just a few minutes his father would know. Hisdancing heart was ready to jump from his body.31. The minutes were endless—ten, fifteen, he did not know how many—and he heard his father's footstepsagain. The door opened.32. "Rob!"33. "Yes, Dad—"34. "You son of a—" His father was laughing, a queer sobbing sort of a laugh. "Thought you'd fool me, didyou?" His father was standing beside his bed, feeling for him, pulling away the cover.35. He found his father and clutched him in a great hug. He felt his father's arms go around him. It was dark, andthey could not see each other's faces.36. "Son, I thank you. Nobody ever did a nicer thing—"37. "It's for Christmas, Dad!"38. He did not know what to say. His heart was bursting with love.39. "Well. I guess I can go back to sleep," his father said after a moment. "No, come to think of it, son, I'venever seen you children when you first saw the Christmas tree. I was always in the barn. Come on!"40. He pulled on his clothes again, and they went down to the Christmas tree, and soon the sun was creeping upto where the star had been. Oh, what a Christmas morning, and how his heart had nearly burst again with shyness and pride as his father told his mother about how he, Rob, had got up all by himself.41. "The best Christmas gift I ever had, and I'll remember it, son, every year on Christmas morning, as long as Ilive."42. They had both remembered it, and now that his father was dead he remembered it alone: that blessedChristmas dawn when, along with the cows in the barn, he had made his first gift of true love. Outside the window now the stars slowly faded. He got out of bed and put on his slippers and bathrobe and went softly downstairs. He brought in the tree, and carefully began to trim it. It was done very soon. He then went to his library and brought the little box that contained his special gift to his wife, a diamond brooch, not large, but beautiful in design. But he was not satisfied. He wanted to tell her—to tell her how much he loved her.43. How fortunate that he had been able to love! Ah, that was the true joy of life, the ability to love! For he wasquite sure that some people were genuinely unable to love anyone. But love was alive in him; it still was.44. It occurred to him suddenly that it was alive because long ago it had been born in him when he knew hisfather loved him. That was it: love alone could waken love.45. And this morning, this blessed Christmas morning, he would give it to his beloved wife. He could write itdown in a letter for her to read and keep forever. He went to his desk and began: My dearest love.46. When it was finished, he sealed it and tied it on the tree. He put out the light and went tiptoing up the stairs.The stars in the sky were gone, and the first rays of the sun were gleaming in the east, such a happy, happy Christmas!第十三课圣诞节的早上1他猛然彻底醒了过来。

Unit 1 Your college years1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·A·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。

土地的寓意皮拉·萨哈姆是的，这些事我们家的稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我的祖先。
这片土地已有三百多年的历史了。
我是家里唯一的闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世。
按照我们伊萨的习俗，我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家的门。
那是我十八岁，他十九岁。
我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了。
其余的俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤的时候就都离开了家。
大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远的地方。
我们的一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作。
有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好的。
我知道她们说的不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我的心头。
对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见。
他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己的那点事。
虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我的孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧。

现在村里到处都是乱扔的塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色的塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上的东西。
年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地。
我知道年轻人跟我们老年人的想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了。

现代⼤学英语精读1第⼆版第三单元课⽂翻译和课后答案⼟地的寓意⽪拉·萨哈姆是的，这些事我们家的稻⽥，以前归我⽗母，再往前属于我的祖先。
这⽚⼟地已有三百多年的历史了。
我是家⾥唯⼀的闺⼥，我⼀直留在我⽗母⾝边，知道他们去世。
按照我们伊萨的习俗，我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们⽼婆家去了，我⽼伴进了我家的门。
那是我⼗⼋岁，他⼗九岁。
我们俩⽣了六个孩⼦，两个没长⼤就病死了。
其余的俩⼉⼦、俩闺⼥⼀到我们有钱给他们买⽜仔裤的时候就都离开了家。
⼤⼉⼦在曼⾕找了份⼯作，给⼀家有钱⼈当花匠，后来⼀家劳务公司介绍他都国外去⼲活了，⼩⼉⼦也去了挺远的地⽅。
我们的⼀个闺⼥在曼⾕⼀家纺织⼚⾥⼲活，另外⼀个闺⼥在⼀家商店⾥⼯作。
有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上⼏天就⾛，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好的。
我知道她们说的不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像⼀把尖⼑扎进我的⼼头。
对我⽼伴来说还好受些，他有⽿朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见。
他⽼是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操⼼他⾃⼰的那点事。
虽说这些孩⼦长期不在我⾝边，但他们永远都是我的孩⼦，他们⼀个个都⾛了，这可能就是命吧。
我们的那块地不⼤，连年的使⽤已使它不再肥沃，就像我们⽼两⼝⼉，慢慢⽼下去，且疲惫不堪。
不过我和⽼伴还在这块地⼒⾥⼲活⼉，⾬量充⾜的时候，地还不难耕种，⽼天爷不下⾬的年份，不光是我们的犁断了，我们的⼼也碎了。
没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们的村⼦变了哪些地⽅变了？就在⼗年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都⽤钱了。
⼏年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房⼦、收割稻⼦或是打井。
这会⼉，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙。
塑料玩意替代了村⾥⼿⼯做的东西，以前男⼈们还做点⽵器，可如今没⼈⼲了。
现在村⾥到处都是乱扔的塑料袋，⼀下⼦冒出来不少商店，⾥⾯放满了五颜六⾊的塑料玩意，还有些我们⽤不上的东西。
年轻⼈都去镇上和城⾥打⼯，留下我们这些⽼年⼈种地。

10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。

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。
从一开始我就结交了许多朋友，并且爱上了许多女孩。
我从未想过学校的生活是如此丰富多彩。
14我们玩着各种各样的游戏，在音乐室里我们唱着第一次学会的歌。
我们第一次接触到了语言的学习。
我们看见了一个地球仪，旋转它，便能看见世界上的各个大洲和国家的名称。
我们还开始学习数字，听老师将造物主的故事。
吃过美味的食物，小睡之后，我们醒来又继续在友谊和爱之中嬉戏，学习。
15然而，校园生活并不是完全甜蜜和阳光普照的。
我们还必须遵守纪律，耐心听讲。
学校生活也不光是嬉戏和无所事事。
同学间的竞争还可能引起痛苦，仇恨，甚至打斗。
虽然那位女士有时面带微笑，但也经常会对我们大声吼叫并责骂我们，甚至，更常见的是体罚我们。
16另外，我们再也不能改变主意，再也不能回到天堂般的家里了。
摆在我们面前的只有努力奋斗和坚持不懈。
一旦机会来了那些有能力的人就会抓住它们去获取成功和幸福。
17铃响了，宣告一天学校生活的结束。
孩子们匆匆奔向大门，这时大门被打开了。
我向我的朋友和“女友们”告完别，走出了校门。
我四处张望却没发现父亲的踪影。
他答应我会在校门外等我的。
于是我走到一边去等他。
当我等了好久，他也没来的时候，我决定自己回家。
我走了几步，却惊奇地站住了。
我的天哪!那条两边是花园的街道怎么不见了？消失到哪里去了？是什么时候这些车辆闯到马路上的？又是什么时候这些人来到街道上歇憩的？这一座座垃圾堆又是怎样堆到街道两旁的？街道旁的田野又到哪里去了？取而代之的是林立的高楼。
街道上挤满了孩子。
嘈杂声震荡着空气。
街头巷尾站着杂耍艺人，他们或玩着戏法，或是让蛇从篮子里出现。
接着，一个乐队奏起了音乐，宣布马戏表演的开始，小丑和举重大力士走在前面。
18我的天!我感觉一片茫然，头晕目眩，几乎快要疯了。
这一切怎么可能就在从清晨到日落的这半天时间里发生？或许回到家，父亲会告诉我答案的。
但是，我的家又在哪里？我赶紧奔向十字路口，因为我记得要穿过那条街道才能到家，但车流不息，我极为恼怒，我知何时才可以过去。
19我久久的站在那里，直到在街道熨衣店里工作的小男孩向我走来。
20他伸出手臂来说道：“爷爷，我扶您过马路吧。
”第二课男孩和银行职员1我有一位朋友特别讨厌银行。
他说：“银行就是个商店，和糖果店或杂货店一样。
唯一的区别就是银行的商品碰巧是钱。
首先，钱还是你的。
如果要银行去卖钱包和钱夹，他们表现得就不会有教堂那样的架势了。
”2几天前，我走进位于纽约曼哈顿西区的一家支行时，想到了我的那位朋友。
这家支行面积不大，灯火辉煌。
我来是要开一个活期存款账户的。
3当时正是吃午饭的时间，银行只有一个职员值班。
他是个四十来岁的黑人，梳着短短的平头，留着一字胡，穿这一身整洁熨烫过的棕色西装。
他的浑身上下都显示出他是个注意着装，有身分地位的人。
4这位职员站在一个小柜台内，面对着一个白人小男孩，小男孩穿着一件V字领的毛衣，一条卡其布裤子和一双平底便鞋。
他有一头浅棕色头发。
我想我之所以特别注意他，是因为他看起来更像是一个来自预科学校的孩子，而不是西区银行的客户。
5我之所以继续注意那个男孩是因为接着发生的事。
6他拿着一张敞开的定期储蓄账户存折，神情沮丧失望。
“但是我不明白，”他对那位职员说道，“我自己开的户，可为什么我不能取钱呢？”7“我已经向你解释过了，”那位职员对他说，“没有父母写的字条，一个十四岁的孩子是不允许取钱的。
”8“但那听起来不公平，”那个男孩说，都语不成声了，“那是我的钱，是我存的，是我的账户。
”9“我知道，”那个职员说，“但那是银行的规定，请原谅。
”10他转向我，面带微笑地说，“先生，我能为您做点什么？”11我没多想。
“我原来准备开个新账户的，”我说，“但是看到了刚才发生的事，我想我已经改变主意了。
”12“我不明白，请原谅。
”他说。
13“喂，”我说，“如果我对这儿刚刚发生的事情理解正确的话，那么你是在说，按照这个男孩的年龄，他可以在你们银行存钱但不能取钱。
既然从前是不是他的或者帐户是不是他的这个方面来看，好像没有任何问题，那么你们银行的所谓政策是在是荒唐可笑。
”14“这在你看来也许是荒谬，”他回答说，在愤怒中他的嗓门稍微抬高了些，“但是那是银行的政策，我别无选择，只能照章办事。
”15在我们口舌交锋中，那小男孩满怀希望的站在我的旁边，但现在我也和他一样没招了。
突然我发现，他始终抓在手中的那张敞开的存折上显示出大约有100美元的余额，同时还显示出一些小额账目的存取记录。
16我有机会了。
17“以前你自己取过钱吗？”我问那个男孩。
18“有过”，他说。
19我抛出了杀手锏。
20“你对此怎么解释？”我把矛头直接对准了那个银行职员，“为什么以前你们让他取钱，而现在不行了呢?”21他看起来被惹恼了。
“因为以前出纳员没有意识到他的年龄，现在他们意识到了，就这么简单。
”22我耸了耸肩转向那个男孩：“你真的上当了，”我说，“你一定要让你的父母到这儿来抗议。
”23那个男孩看来是被击垮了。
一言不发地把将定期存折放入后裤兜里，走出了银行。
24那位职员转过来对我说：“你看，你真的不该干涉。
”25“不该干涉？”我喊道，“在我看来，他真的需要有人来代表他的利益。
”26“有人正在代表他的利益。
”27“那个人会是谁呢？”28“银行。
”29我真不敢相信这白痴说的是什么。
“听着，”我最后说道，“我们只是在相互浪费对方的时间。
但是也许你愿意确切的解释一下银行是如何代表那个男孩的利益的？”30“当然可以，”他说，“今天早上我们得到通知，说附近有个流氓一个月以来一直在勒索这个小男孩。
那家伙一直逼着他每周从银行取钱交给他。
这个可怜的孩子显然吓得不敢跟任何人说。
那才是他如此不安的真正原因。
他害怕那个家伙会对他做出什么。
不管怎样，警察正在调查这个案子，他们可能会在今天捉拿那个家伙。
”31“你是说没有关于年龄太小而不能从定期储蓄账户取钱的规定？”32“我从未听说过。
先生，现在我能为您做点什么？”第三课土地的讯息1是的，这些都是我们的稻田。
它们曾属于我的父母和祖辈。
这片土地有三百多年的历史了。
我是家里唯一的女孩。
所以，我一直陪在父母身边直到他们去世。
我的三个兄弟结婚以后就都搬到他们的女人家里去了。
按照我们伊萨恩的风俗，我男人进了我们家的门。
那时我18岁，他19岁。
我们生了六个孩子，有两个孩子在襁褓中就病死了，剩下的两个男孩和两个女孩在我们能为他们买得起牛仔裤的时候，就离开了家门。
我的大儿子在曼谷的一个有钱人家里做圆丁，后来一家劳务所介绍送他到国外干活去了。
我的小儿子离家也很远。
2我们的一个女儿现在在曼谷的一家纺织厂上班，另一个女儿在一家商店里工作。
他们偶尔回家来看我们，待上几天就又走了。
他们经常寄钱给我们并告诉我们他们过得很好。
我知道这并不全是真的。
有时，（当我知道）它们受欺负受侮辱时，我就心如刀割。
而这一切对于我的男人来说就好过些，他有一对听不见的耳朵、一张不说话的嘴和一双看不见的眼睛。
他总是不紧不慢，沉默寡言，自个儿过日子。
3虽然孩子们长时间不在家，但他们始终是我的孩子，也许是命运让他们离开了我们。
我们的这片土地很小，也不再肥沃，就像我们一样，一年年地被榨干了血，慢慢上了年纪，渐渐精疲力竭了。
而我和我的男人还在这片土地上耕作。
当雨水多的时候土地还不难耕种，可要是赶上干旱，干硬的土地不仅使我们的犁耕碎了，我们的心也碎了。
4是的，我们两口子一直没怎么变，可是我们的村子却变了很多。
怎么变了？就在十年前你还可以和别人换东西，可现在就得用现金了。
几年前你还可以喊你的邻居们帮你盖房子、割麦子或挖口井。
但现在只有付钱给他们，他们才干。
塑料制品代替了村里的手工做的东西。
过去男人们常常用好的竹简做东西，但现在已经不再做了。
塑料袋扔的村里哪儿都是。
还突然冒出些商店，里面摆满了五颜六色的塑料制品和对我们没有用的东西。
年轻人离开了家去了城镇，留下我们这些上了年纪的人种田。
我知道他们的想法和我们不同，他们说我们岁数大的人跟不上时代。
我这一辈子从来没说非得去理发店或者涂唇膏，染指甲。
我这粗手粗脚是用来在稻田里的泥地里干活的，而不是摆样子好看的。
现在的年轻姑娘们穿上了牛仔裤，看着像小伙子，可她们却认为这是时髦。
哦，只为了能买条牛仔裤，她们宁愿卖掉猪或水牛。
我年轻的时候要是能穿上她们那样的裤子，准得遭雷劈。
5我知道时代已经变了，但是有些东西是不该变的，我们还应该每天为僧人提供吃的，定期去寺庙上香。
现在的年轻人往往把这些事留给上了岁数的人去做，这真是太不像话了。
6就在前些天，我听见一个小男孩朝着他母亲大声喊叫。
如果这件事发生在我小的时候，全村人都会责骂这个没良心的儿子，他的父亲准会狠狠地抽他一顿。
7至于我，是不会变了，就是我想变也是不可能了。
我幸不幸福？我从来没想过这个问题。
生活简简单单地过着。
是的，我这把裹着破烂衣衫枯瘦如柴的老骨头还能从早到晚地在地里耕作。
