Unit 1 hit the nail on the head 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective(模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去,一钉到底。
语言也是如此。

Unit10 Things: The Throw-away Society by Alvin Toffler“Barbie,” a twelve-inch plastic teen-ager, is the best known and best-selling doll in history. Since its introduction in 1959, the Barbie doll population of the world has grown to 12,000,000—more than the human population of Los Angeles or London or Paris. Little girls adore Barbie because she is highly realistic and eminently dress-upable. Mattel, Inc., maker of Barbie, also sells a complete wardrobe for her, including clothes for ordinary daytime wear, clothes for formal party wear, clothes for swimming and skiing.十二英寸高的塑料小人“芭比”曾是历史上最著名最畅销的洋娃娃,自从1959年问世以来,全世界的芭比娃娃的数量增长到1200,0000人—比洛杉矶,伦敦和巴黎任何一个城市的人口还要多。
小女孩热衷芭比娃娃是因为他很像真的而且可以任意更换衣服,作为芭比娃娃的生产厂家,Mattel公司还出售芭比的整体衣柜,包括日常便装,正式晚装,泳装和滑雪衫。
Recently Mattel announced a new improved Barbie doll. The new version has a slimmer figure, “real”eyelashes and a twist-and turn waist that makes her more humanoid than ever. Moreover, Mattel announced that, for the first time, any young lady wishing to purchase a new Barbie would receive a trade-in allowance for her old one.最近Mattel公司推出一款更高级的芭比娃娃,这个新产品身材更苗条,有仿真睫毛,又可以扭转弯曲的腰肢,所有这些特点使其更加人性化。

Unit Three: 我的朋友阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦1)虽然阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦是迄今为止世界上最伟大的科学家之一,但如果要我用一个词来描述他的话我会选择纯朴。
或者有关他的一些轶事能让你理解我为什么这么说。
有一次,遇上了倾盆大雨,他摘下帽子揣在衣服下面。
别人问他为什么,他以令人钦佩的逻辑解释说,雨会淋坏帽子,而他的头发淋湿了却不会坏。
这种直达问题核心的诀窍以及他对美非同寻常的感知就是他主要科学发现的秘密所在。
2)1935年,在坐落于新泽西著名的普林斯顿高级研究院,我第一次见到阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦。
他是第一批被该院邀请的人,在工资方面学院任由他提条件。
令院长惊鄂的是,爱因斯坦要求的薪水简直办不到---- 他要得太少了。
院长不得不恳求他接受一个大一些的数目。
3)我对爱因斯坦很敬畏,犹豫再三才就我一直在考虑的一些想法向他请教。
当我终于鼓起勇气敲响他的门时,听到一个温和的声音说:“进来。
”声调有些上扬,带有欢迎和询问的语气。
我走进他的办公室,看见他坐在桌子旁边,一边抽着烟斗一边算着什么。
他的衣服很不合身,头发乱蓬蓬的,极具个性,向我热情地微笑着表示欢迎我的到来。
他的平易自然立刻让我放松了下来。
4)当我开始阐述自己的见解时,他叫我把方程式写在黑板上,这样他就能明白它们是怎么展开。
接着他提出了一个令人惊鄂但又非常可爱的请求:“请你漫漫地写,我理解东西不快。
”这种话竟出自爱因斯坦之口!他说得很温和,我笑了。
从此残留的畏惧之情都烟消云散了。
5)爱因斯坦于1879年出生在德国的乌尔姆市。
他并非神童式的人物。
事实上他说话很晚,他的父母甚至担心他是弱、智儿。
上学后,虽然老师们看不出他有什么天分,但天才的迹象已经显露。
例如,他自学微积分,老师们有些怕他,因为他总问些他们回答不出的问题。
因此,十六岁时他就问自己是否当人跟着光波跑得一样快的时候它会好像是静止的。
由这一天真的问题的引发,十年之后他创立了相对论。
6)爱因斯坦没有通过苏黎士瑞士联邦工艺学校的入学考试,但在一年后被录取了。

新编英语教程5第十单元课文翻译

人类学是一门把人类作为社会生物来研究的一门科学。
它主要关注那些能把一个群体和其他具有不同传统的群体区分开来的身体特征、工业技术、生活习惯和价值观。
人类学作为社会科学的一种,其显著特征就是它不仅仅认真研究我们自己的社会,还研究其他社会。
出于这种目的,人类学认为,任何交配和繁殖的社会规则都和我们自己的一样重要,即使它有可能是海迪亚克社会的,并且和我们的文明毫无干系。
对于人类学家来说,我们的风俗和新几内亚部落的风俗是解决同一个问题的两种可能的社会结构,只要他是个人类学家,他就会避免厚此薄彼。
他对人类的行为感兴趣,并不是因为人类行为是由一种传统(即我们自己的传统)所塑造的,而是因为它是由任何传统塑造的。
他感兴趣的是在不同文化中发现的所有风俗习惯,而他的目标是弄清这些文化变化和彼此区分的方式、它们表达自己的不同形式,以及风俗在形成这种风俗的个人生活中的作用方式。
现今,人们并没有普遍地把风俗视为一个重要课题。
我们觉得,我们自己大脑的内部工作原理才值得我们研究,而对于风俗,我们总认为它是司空见惯的行为。
事实正好相反,就世界范围来看,传统风俗是由许多细节性的习惯组成的,这远比个人在个人活动中发展的个人行为更让人瞠目结舌,不论其多么不同寻常。
而这只是风俗的一个微不足道的方面,它最重要的是在经验和信仰中所起的决定性作用,以及它可能展现出的极大多样性。
没有一个人是用纯洁而无偏见的眼光看待世界。
人们所看到的是一个受特定风俗习惯、制度和思想方式剪辑过的世界。
甚至在哲学领域的探索中,人们也无法超越这此定型的框框。
人们关于真与伪的概念依然和特定的传统风俗有关。
约翰.杜威曾经非常严肃地指出:风俗在形成个人行为方面所起的作用和一个对风俗的任何影响相比,就好像他本国语言的总词汇量和自己咿呀学语时他家庭所接纳的他的词汇量之比。
当一个人认真地研究自发形成的社会秩序时,杜威的比喻就是他实事求是观察得来的形象化的说法。
个人的生活史首先是适应他的社团世代相传形成的生活方式和准则。

Unit 1恰到好处你一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上子?只他左敲敲,右敲敲,不准会将整个子翻,果敲来敲去到来只敲了半截。
而熟的木匠就不么干。
他每敲一下都会巧妙地正着落下去,一到底。
言也是如此。
一位秀的家造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的点。
差不多的,不准确的短,摸棱两可的表达,含糊不清的修,都无法使一位追求真英的作家意。
他会一直思考,直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的。
法国人有一个很切的短来表达一个意思,即“ le mot juste”, 恰到好的。
有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人事,比如福楼拜常花几天的力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无。
在浩瀚的海中,与之有着微妙的区,要找到能恰如其分表达我意思的非易事。
不是扎的言功底和相当大的量的,需要人尽汁,要察敏。
是程的一个步,也是描述我的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和者深刻理解的一个。
有人:“在我思想未成文之前,我怎么知道自己的想法?” 听起来似乎很离,但它确很有道理。
找恰如其分的的确是件不容易的事。
一旦找到了那个,我就会感到很欣慰:辛得到了回。
准确地用言有助于我深入了解我描述的事物。
例如,当有人你:“某某是怎么的人?”你回答:“恩,我想他是个不的家伙,但他非常⋯⋯”接着你犹豫了,找到一个或短来明他到底在哪里。
当你找到一个恰当的短的候,你自己他的看法更清楚,也更精确了。
一些英根相同而意却截然不同。
例如human 和 humane, 二者的根相同,也相关,但用法完全不同。
“human action (人行 ) ”和“ humane action( 人道行 ) ”完全是两事。
我不能“人道力宣言”,而是“人宣言”。
有一种屠工具叫“ humane killer (麻醉屠宰机 ) ,而不是 human killer (人机器 ) 。
言中的坏手的例子在我身随可。
有人邀一名学生去吃,他写信予回复。
看他的信是尾的:“我将很高赴并不安(anxiety)期待着那个日子的到来。
”“ Anxiety ”含有和恐惧的意味。

4. In disagreeing with the anti-materialists, which two functions of things does Toffler specify? Which of them does he emphasize throughout the essay? Functional utility and psychological impact. 5. What is the topic sentence of para.8? Is it adequately developed by the evidence that follows in the paragraph? The first sentence. It is not adequately developed by the example given in the paragraph. While the French can be regarded as a nation disposed to keeping things, even old things, they are not typically a nation steeped in a heritage of poverty. Therefor, the topic sentence is only partially developed. 6. How does Toffler imply that the development of the throw-away culture is entailed by industrialization? The last sentence of para.4 implies that the expanding number of man-made objects is typical of a highly industrialized society. The last sentence of para.8 indicates that the more developed the society, the less resistance to throw away things. Examples given in the essay are all related to highly industrialized countries.

新编大学英语第五册课文与翻译Unit 1 suspensePassage ReadingThe Lady or the Tiger?by Frank Stockton1 Long ago there lived a semi-barbaric king who had a great imagination. One of his ideas was to build a big arena as an agent of justice where crime was punished or virtue rewarded. When a subject1 was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of an accused person would be decided in the king’s arena.2 When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king, surrounded by the court, sat high up on his throne on one side of the arena, he gave a signal, a door beneath him opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the arena. Directly opposite him on the other side were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased. He was subject to no guidance or influence, only chance. If he opened one, there came out of it a cruel and hungry tiger, which immediately sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as punishment for his guilt. But, if the accused person opened the other door, there came forth a lady, the most suitable to his age and station2 that the king could select from among his fair3 subjects; and to this lady he was immediately married as a reward for his innocence. It didn’t matter that he might possess a wife and family or that his affections might be engaged upon alady of his own selection. The wedding took place immediately and in the arena. Bells rang, people shouted glad hurrahs, and the innocent man led his bride home.3 This was the king’s method of administeri ng justice, its fai rness was obvious. The accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot. The institution4 was a very popular one. The element of uncertainty gave interest to the occasion which could not other wise have a happened.54 The king had a beautiful and willful daughter. She was the apple of his eye and he loved her above all humanity.6 Among his courtiers was a young man of a low station whom the princess loved because he was very handsome and brave. This love affair moved along happily for many months, until one day the king happened to find out about it. He immediately had the youth imprisoned and appointed a day for a trial in the arena. Never before had such a case occurred; never before had a subject dared to love the daughter of a king.5 The tiger-cages of the kingdom were searched for the most savage beast, from which the fiercest one could be selected for the arena. Young and beautiful maidens were carefully surveyed in order that the young man might have a suitable bride if fate did not determine him a different destiny. Of course, everybody knew that thedeed with which the accused was charged had been done. He loved the princess and did not deny it, but the king would take pleasure in watching the events which would determine whether or not the young man had done wrong in allowing himself to love the princess.6 The day of the trial arrived. From far and near the people gathered and crowded the galleries of the arena. The king and his court entered and sat in their places opposite the twin doors. All was ready. The signal was given. A door beneath the royal party opened and the lover of the princess walked into the arena. Tall and handsome, he was greeted by a hum of admiration. Half the audience had not known that so grand a youth had lived among them. No wonder the princess loved him! What a terrible thing for him to be there!7 as the youth advanced into the arena, he turned, as the custom was, to bow to the king, but he did not think at all of her father. Form the very moment that the decree had gone forth, that her lover should decide his fate in the arena, she had thought of nothing else.7 Possessed of more power and determination than anyone connected with a previous case, she found out the secret of the doors. She knew behind which door stood the tiger cage with its open front and behind which door waited the lady. She had used both gold and determination to find out the secret.8 The princess also knew who the lady was. It was one of the most beautiful of the ladies of the court, and the princess hated her. Often the princess had seen, or imagined that she had seen, this fair creature glancing with admiration at her lover, and sometimes the princess thought that these glances were returned. Now and then she had seen them talking together.9 When her lover looked at her, and his eye met hers, he knew that she knew behind which door crouched the tiger and behind which stood the lady. He had expected her to know it as he understood her nature and determination. Then it was that his quick and anxi ous glance asked the question: “Which?”8 It was as plain to her as if he had shouted it from where he stood.9There was not an instant to be lost. The question was asked in a flash; it must be answered in another. She raised her hand and made a slight, quick movement to- ward the right. No one but her lover saw her. Every eye was fixed on the man in the arena. Every breath was held and every eye remained fixed on that man. Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right and opened it.10 Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of the door, or did the lady? The more we think about this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart which leads us through devious mazes of passion out of which it is difficult to fine our way.10 the soul of the princess beat with a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy.11 she had lost him, but who should have him? How often in her waling hours and in her dreams had she thoughtof her lover opening the door on the other side of which waited the cruel fangs of the tiger! But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door and she could see his delight as he opened the door of the lady! Her soul had burned with agony as she imagined him rushing to meet that woman with her sparkling eyes of triumph. She further imagined the glad shouts of the crowd as the two handsome people were married and walked away showered with flowers.12 Her one despairing shriek was lost in the noise.11 Would it not be better for him to die at once? And yet, that awful tiger, those shrieks, that blood! Her decision had been indicated in an instant, but it had been made after days and nights of anguished thought. She had known she would be asked, she had decided what she would answer, and, without theslightest hesitation, she had moved her hand to the right.12 The question of her decision is not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to presume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it.13 And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door, — the lady, or the tiger? (1,307 words)Time taken:____________minutesUNIT 2 MannersIN-CLASS READINGNo One Stops to Say "Thank You" Anymore1 I am sitting in a local restaurant offering takeout homestyle meals, surrounded by exhausted but happy shoppers, families out for Friday night dinner, and students taking a break from college exams. The warm room buzzes with conversation. A well-known local homeless man very untidy but clean comes in, places an order, pays for it, then sits quietly waiting for his dinner. All talk stops. No one looks at him and several diners leave. He is aware of the general discomfort his presence has caused. When his takeout is ready, he gathers up his numerous bags and his dinner and, laden down, advances to the door to go back to the streets. Just as he reaches the door and begins to shift bundles to free a hand, a well-dressed man coming to the restaurant steps aside and holds the door for him. The homeless man stops and says, "Thank you very much."2 What struck me about this encounter was not the wealthier man helping out the less fortunate one. It was the homeless man stopping to thank him despite being desperate to escape a room full of disapproving people. No doubt he also thanked whoever had given him the money to buy dinner. In line buying my own meal, no one had thanked the young people behind the counterwho dished up mashed potatoes for them. Had I taken a poll of the room, though, I bet everyone there would have considered themselves as having more manners than a person who lives on the streets.3 But how many of us are truly well-mannered? Some observations have been surprising.4 When I let someone into my lane of traffic, men almost always acknowledge this courtesy with a wave of the hand; women (the "polite" sex) hardly ever do. More women than men (the "chivalrous" sex) hold open doors for those behind them; teenage boys commit this nicety the least. And I no longer see mothers instructing a child, boy or girl, to hold open a door when several people are approaching something expected of all boys when I was growing up.5 Manners are a tool to remind us of others around us. Our actions affect each other; there is always give and take. However, if youth today are any indication, we are truly destined to become a society of people who think only of themselves. Maybe it sounds cliché, but my parents would have killed me had I done some of the things I endure from today's youth.6 I never ran in public, much less between and around the legs of people in stores. One scream and I would have been taken to the car and lectured on my behavior. Whenever I was rude in public, I was made to apologize; my parents didn't do it for me. These embarrassing moments didn't harm me; rather, they caused me to become aware that there were others inhabiting this world besides myself and my actions affected them.7 I have yet to receive an apology from a child who just ran over my foot while chasing a sibling, and only half the time have the parents apologized. Often they simply gather upthe children, making no eye contact, and take them to another part of the store to run around. If a child isn't made to deal with a minor situation, how will one ever handle a major faux pa& (which we all inevitably commit at some point)?8 I have noticed that children are not even being schooled in social graces. At a Sunday brunch, a clown was making balloon animals for the children. My friend's daughter, Sarah, stood by me waiting her turn'. One by one the children grabbed their balloons and yes ran.I was the only adult present who prompted "What do you say?" when the clown handed Sarah her balloon. The clown beamed at us, grateful he had actually been acknowledged.9 I don't blame the children, however. They emulate what they see. And what they are seeing is a society focused solely on acquisition be it the dream house or another drink in a restaurant or a space on a crowded freeway without ever stopping to thank the source.10 Rude language is now so commonplace that it is accepted behavior. And I'm not talking about the obviously blue vocabulary in books and movies, or that damn is considered harmless compared to what else has become acceptable. I'm referring to inconsiderate word choice. For example, while discussing a story idea with an editor, a very young staff member asked if I was the "chick" who had called for information. I said nothing, knowing that a show of displeasure would have labeled me oversensitive rather than him rude.11 Most people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes, and economic classes more equally than ever before. And, yes, we have made real strides in these areas. But isn't it ironic that these same people don't find it necessaryto say "Excuse me" to an older couple walking very slowly in front of them, before zooming around the couple?12 It's not necessary to provide yet another analysis of the disintegration of the family or the breakdown of the social fabric or the price of democracy to explain what hashappened to our society. The matter at hand is simply to thank the next person who provides a helping hand when needed.13 In a crowded world, manners are of vital importance. Small, friendly human interactions help ease the everyday stress of having to hurry, trying to squeeze onto a crowded thoroughfare, standing in one more line to deal with a clerk of some kind, or calling a customer service representative for the third time about a mistake on a bill. Manners make us aware that everything we have derives from a source.

To me, these topics seem intimately linked. Perhaps this is partly because I work for Mitsubishi Electric, an electronics company, and I see our impacts on the environment. But my most important lessons about the link among business, the environment, and the economy did not come from my company. I learned them in the forest.2 On my trip to Asia, I visited the Malaysian rain forest. WhatI learned changed my life asa corporate executive.3 I learned that saving the rain forests in fact, saving the environment is more than an environmental necessity. It is abusiness opportunity. In our case, it is an opportunity to pursue business opportunities that use creativity and technology to substitute for trees, for resources of any kind.4 I learned something else in the rain forest, too, something more profound. I learned how we might operate our company not just to save the rain forest, but to be more like the rain forest.5 To be agile and creative, we must structure our company so that we are a learning organization. Not top-down, but bottom-up. Not centralized, but decentralized. Not limited by rules, but motivated by objectives. Not structured like a machine which cannot learn but like a living system, which can.6 When I visited the rain forest, I realized that it was a model of the perfect learning organization, a place that excels by learning to adapt to what it doesn't have. A rain forest has almost no resources. The soil is thin. There are few nutrients. It consumes almost nothing. Wastes are food. Design is capital. So my model for Mitsubishi Electric is an organization that is like a rain forest in those respects.7 Rain forests have no productive assets, yet they are incredibly productive. They are home to millions of types of plants and animals more than two-thirds of all biodiversity in the world. Those plants and animals are so perfectly mixed that the system is more efficient, and more creative, than any business in the world.8 If we ran our companies like the rain forest, imagine how creative, how productive, how ecologically benign we could be. We can begin by operating less like a machine and more like a living system. At Mitsubishi Electric, we have begun to adopt an environmental management system founded on principles of industrial ecology. For us, this means twothings: First, we must have our eyes wide open and see the environmental costs and benefits of our business. Second, based on what we see, we must take action:See costs and reduce them. See benefits and increase them. See needs and fill them.9 When I visited the rain forest, I realized that, as business people, we have been looking at the rain forest all wrong. What is valuable about the rain forest is not the trees, which we can take out. What is valuable is the design, the relationships, from which comes the real value of the forest. When we take trees from the forest, we can ruin its design. But when we take lessons from the forest, we further its purpose. We can develop the human ecosystem into as intricate and creative a system as we find in the rain forest. We can do more with less; grow without shrinking.10 While the rain forest has many design principles, let's discuss three:11 Differentiate. Be yourself, be unique. In the rain forest, conformity leads to extinction. If two organisms have the same niche, only one survives. The other adapts or dies. 12 The same thing happens in today's economy. If two businesses have the same niche, making exactly the same product, only one survives. The other adapts or dies. Most companies today are trying to be the one that survives by cutting costs, radically downsizing, desperately seeking the lowest cost.13 It's smarter to differentiate. Create unique products, different from any others. Fill unique niches. Don't kill our competitors or be killed by them sidestep them instead. Only then is it time to reduce costs and grow more efficient.14 Cooperate. T oday, many people think competitiveness is the key to business success, but such thinking is out of date.Today, as we grow different, we learn that none of us is whole. We need each other to fill in our gaps. For example, at my company, we no longer look to grow bigger simply by acquiring more and more companies as subsidiaries. Instead, we are engaging in cooperative joint ventures with many others. Each companyretains its independence, its specialty, and its core competence. Together we benefit from our diversity.15 Be a good fit. We used to say only the fittest survives; only one can be the winner. But the rain forest has many winners.16 The same can be true in our economy. In this new, diverse, rain-forest economy, it is not a question of who is most fit. It is a question of where we best fit. If we fit if we solve a social problem, fulfill a social need we will survive and excel. If we only create problems, we will not.17 I am often asked whether the needs of the corporation and the needs of the environment are in conflict. I do not believe they are. In the long run, they cannot be.18 Conventional wisdom is that the highest mission of a corporation is to maximize profits and return to shareholders. That is a myth. It has never been true. Profit is just money a medium of exchange. You always trade it for something else. So profits are not an end; they are a means to an end.19 My philosophy is this: We don't run our business to earn profits. We earn profits to run our business. Our business has meaning and purpose a reason to be here.20 People talk today about business needing to be socially responsible, as if this is something new we need to do, on top of everything else we do. But social responsibility is not something that one should do as an extra benefit of the business. The wholeessence of the business should be social responsibility. It must live for a purpose. Otherwise, why should it live at all?21 What I learned from the rain forest is easy to understand. We can use less and have more. It is the only way, for the interests of business and the interests of the environment are not incompatible.(1102 words)Time taken: _______ minutesProper NamesMalaysianadj. 马来西亚的Mitsubishi Electric日本三菱电气公司Takashi Kiuchi(日本男子名)木内孝New Wordsagileadj. active, lively, think quickly 灵活的,(才思)敏捷的e.g. The agile monkey swung from branch to branch.biodiversityn. biological diversity in an environment as indicated by numbers of different species of plants and animals 生物品种competencen. the ability and skill to do what is needed 能力,技能e.g. I'm only worried about his attitude to the job: his competence is not in question.conformity *n. agreement with established rules, customs, etc. 一致,顺从e.g. Excessive conformity is usually caused by fear of disapproval . conventionaladj. following what is traditional or considered to be normal传统的,符合习俗的e.g. The house was built with conventional materials but in a totally new style.cooperatev. work with somebody else to achieve something 合作,协作,配合e.g. I ) Our company is cooperating with a Danish firm on this project.

Unit10 Things: The Throw-away Society by Alvin Toffler“Barbie,” a twelve-inch plastic teen-ager, is the best known and best-selling doll in history. Since its introduction in 1959, the Barbie doll population of the world has grown to 12,000,000—more than the human population of Los Angeles or London or Paris. Little girls adore Barbie because she is highly realistic and eminently dress-upable. Mattel, Inc., maker of Barbie, also sells a complete wardrobe for her, including clothes for ordinary daytime wear, clothes for formal party wear, clothes for swimming and skiing.十二英寸高的塑料小人“芭比”曾是历史上最著名最畅销的洋娃娃,自从1959年问世以来,全世界的芭比娃娃的数量增长到1200,0000人—比洛杉矶,伦敦和巴黎任何一个城市的人口还要多。
小女孩热衷芭比娃娃是因为他很像真的而且可以任意更换衣服,作为芭比娃娃的生产厂家,Mattel公司还出售芭比的整体衣柜,包括日常便装,正式晚装,泳装和滑雪衫。
Recently Mattel announced a new improved Barbie doll. The new version has a slimmer figure, “real”eyelashes and a twist-and turn waist that makes her more humanoid than ever. Moreover, Mattel announced that, for the first time, any young lady wishing to purchase a new Barbie would receive a trade-in allowance for her old one.最近Mattel公司推出一款更高级的芭比娃娃,这个新产品身材更苗条,有仿真睫毛,又可以扭转弯曲的腰肢,所有这些特点使其更加人性化。

小女孩热衷芭比娃娃是因为他很像真的而且可以任意更换衣服,作为芭比娃娃的生产厂家,Mattel公司还出售芭比的整体衣柜,包括日常便装,正式晚装,泳装和滑雪衫。
最近Mattel公司推出一款更高级的芭比娃娃,这个新产品身材更苗条,有仿真睫毛,又可以扭转弯曲的腰肢,所有这些特点使其更加人性化。
此外,M公司还首次宣布,任何一个购买芭比娃娃的女士都可以获得旧芭比娃娃的折价优惠。
M公司所没有宣布的是,通过折旧芭比娃娃来销售新款芭比娃娃,今天的小女孩,明天工业化社会的公民就会得出这样一个对社会的基本认识:人类和物品的关系越来越短暂。
我们周围人造物品的海洋外围还有更广阔的自燃物品的海洋。
但是这个技术制造的环境逐渐影响着人类。
塑料或混凝土结构,街灯下霓虹闪烁的汽车,从飞机窗口俯瞰到的缓慢移动的城市—这些人类的亲密伙伴。
人造物品进入并影响了人类意识,其数量急剧增长,无论是就绝对而言还是相对而言。
这种现象在将来的超级工业化社会会更加突出。
唯心主义者试图否认物品的重要性,但是物品是非常重要的,不仅因为它有实用功能,还因为其对精神的影响,我们发展和物品的关系,物品影响我们对关联和断联的意识。
他们在情景结构中的作用,我们和物品关系的缩短加快了生活的节奏。
此外,我们对物品的态度反映了基本的价值评判。
有的小女孩兴高采烈的把她们的芭比娃娃换成新款高级的娃娃,有的小女孩象她们的母亲和祖母年少时一样,终日抱着同一个娃娃,形影不离,爱不释手,直到长大后娃娃从生活中消失,没有什么比这更具有戏剧性的对比了。
这种不同在于过去和未来的对比,对于永久的社会和新的变幻无常的社会的对比。
观察一下旧芭比换新芭比的小女孩身后的文化就可以看出人类和物品间的关系越来越短暂,这些孩子很快会知道有很多物品以极快的速度进入并离开他们的生活,不只是芭比娃娃。
纸尿裤,围裙,纸巾,手绢,非循环使用的苏打汽水瓶—所有这些在她家被迅速使用,有的被无情的丢弃。
玉米松饼放进一次性的烤罐,菠菜放进塑料袋中,这种塑料袋可以一起放进沸水锅中加热然后丢弃。
电视上的烹饪节目也经常使用一次性的碟子。
她的家就是一个大型处理机器,通过这个机器,物品以越来越快的速度不断流动,进入又离开,从出生开始,她就被包围在一次性的文化中。
对一次性物品的使用让人想到了粮食问题和祖祖辈辈生活在贫困中的人,不久前,法国广告代理公司P的一位市场调查员U R 告诉我:“法国的家庭主妇并不习惯于使用一次性的产品,她们喜欢把东西留着,即使是旧物品也不会丢。
我们代表公司宣传一种一次性的塑料窗帘。
我们队她们作市场调查,却发现她们的抵制情绪很强。
”这种抵制在其他发达国家越来越少了。
因此,作家E M 指出在十二世纪五十年代初期,很多区瑞典观光的美国人都被瑞典的干净所震惊“让我们敬佩的是路边没有一个啤酒瓶和软饮料瓶,而自惭形秽的是,美国到处都是。
但是到二十世纪六十年代,看看吧,各种瓶瓶罐罐凸现在瑞典的高速公路上……怎么了?跟美国一样,瑞典已经变成一个购买,使用一次性物品的国家了。
在当今的日本,一次性的纸巾非常普遍,手绢已经老土了,而且也不卫生。
在英国,花七便士就可以买到已经挤好牙膏,一次性使用的牙刷。
即使在法国,一次性的打火机也很普遍,从牛奶只喝到为太空提供动力的火箭,它们对我们的生活起着越来越重要的作用。
刚上市的纸衣服或者类似纸的衣服将一次性文化更推进了一步。
时尚饰品店和工薪阶层
服装店已经陆续出现一个全新的部门,这个部门专门负责那些色彩艳丽设计特别的纸衣服。
时尚杂志展示了价格惊人的纸长袍,纸外套,纸睡袍,甚至纸婚纱和礼服。
图中的新娘穿着仿蕾丝纸做成的白色长袍裙,标题写道:这条裙子在婚礼结束后可以做成“不错的厨房窗帘”。
纸衣服是最适合孩子的。
一位时尚专家写道:“小孩子会乱溅冰激凌,而且他可以在纸衣服上画画,或者贴剪纸画,而母亲在一旁微笑的赞许其创造力。
”对于想展示创造力的成年人,可以买一种配有刷子的“自助衣服”,价格两美元。
当然,价格是纸用品猛增的重要原因。
因此有一家百货商店很有特色,店内全是清一色的衣服,这些衣服都是用被称作“魔鬼也会留意的纤维和尼龙”做成的。
每件事1.29美元,对于消费者来说,一次性要比普通衣服送进洗衣店要便宜的多。
但不仅仅是经济问题,一次性文化的蔓延还带来了不容忽视的精神影响。
我们已经形成了一种一次性的心态,来适应一次性的产品。
这种心态使得我们对于物品的价值观产生了巨大的改变。
然而社会中的一次性文化的蔓延也预示着人类和物品的关系持续的时间越来越短。
我们只是和一系列马上将被代替的物品保持短期的联系,而不是和某一物品保持长期的联系。
