It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management,…-Better relations with the public will yield large profits to management.60. But this usefulness often serves only as a rationalization for the appeal to completepassivity and receptivity.-The fact that many gadgets are indeed useful is often used by advertisers as a mere “high-minded” cover for the real, vulgar appeal to idleness and submissiveness.61. …he has a feeling of fraudulency about his product and a secret contempt for it.-The businessman gets the knowledge that the quality of his product doesn’t match what it should be. Conscious of the deception involved, he despises the goods he produces.Lesson Ten62. The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to themiddle-aged and curious questionings by the young.-At the very mention of the Twenties, middle-aged people begin to recall it longingly and young people become curious and begin to ask questions about it. 63.

But at the same time it was tempted, in American at least, to escape itsresponsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication and a pose of Bohemian immorality.-But at the same time, in America at least, the young people are strongly disposed to escape their responsibilities. They pretend to be worldly-wise and disregard conventional standards of behavior, drinking and breaking the traditional morality naughtily.66.

Work is also his liberator from nature, his creator as a social and independentbeing.-Work also sets man free from nature and makes him into a social being independent of nature.52. Whether we think of the beautiful paintings in the caves of Southern France, theornaments on weapons among primitive people, the statues and temples of Greece, the cathedrals of the Middle Ages, the chairs and tables made by skilled craftsmen, or the cultivation offlowers, trees or corn by peasants--all are expressions of the creative transformation of nature by man’s reason and skill.-Every kind of work (utilitarian and artistic), no matter when it was done or who did it, provides an example of man applying his intelligence and his skill to change nature creatively.53.

Work is a means of getting money, not in itself a meaningful human activity.-Work helps the worker to earn some money; except this it is not an activity with much significance.57. because a pay check is not enough to base one’s s elf-respect on.-because just earning some money is not enough for a worker to establish hisself-respect.58. …most industrial psychologists are mainly concernedwith the manipulation of theworker’s psyche.-Most industrial psychologists are mainly trying to manage and control the worker’s mind.59. It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management,…-Better relations with the public will yield large profits to management.60. But this usefulness often serves only as a rationalization for the appeal to completepassivity and receptivity.-The fact that many gadgets are indeed useful is often used by advertisers as a mere “high-minded” cover for the real, vulgar appeal to idleness and submissiveness.61. …he has a feeling of fraudulency about his product and a secret contempt for it.-The businessman gets the knowledge that the quality of his product doesn’t match what it should be. Conscious of the deception involved, he despises the goods he produces.Lesson Ten62. The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to themiddle-aged and curious questionings by the young.-At the very mention of the Twenties, middle-aged people begin to recall it longingly and young people become curious and begin to ask questions about it. 63. The rejection of Victorian gentility was, in any case, inevitable.-Anyway, it was inevitable for American to discard Victorian gentility which upheld the middle-class respectability and affected refinement characteristic of Victorian England.64. The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian socialstructure,…-The war only helped to speed up the collapse of the Victorian social structure. 65. But at the same time it was tempted, in American at least, to escape itsresponsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication and a pose of Bohemian immorality.-But at the same time, in America at least, the young people are strongly disposed to escape their responsibilities. They pretend to be worldly-wise and disregard conventional standards of behavior, drinking and breaking the traditional morality naughtily.66. Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making theirpleasures illicit,…-The young people found more pleasure in drinking because Prohibition made it a kind of adventure.67. …our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.-Our young men joined the foreign armies to fight in the war.68. …they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up”.-they wanted to take part in the adventure of war before it ended.69. …they had outgrown towns and families…-they could not adapt themselves to life in their hometowns and families anymore.70. … the returning veteran also had to face the sodden, Napoleonic cynicism ofVersailles, the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition, andthe smug patriotism of the war profiteers.-the returning veterans also had to face the stupid cynicism shown by the victorious allies in Versailles who acted just like Napoleon once did. They had to face Prohibition through which the lawmakers hypocritically expected to do good to the people. And they also had to face the self-content patriotic air of the war profiteers.71. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…-Under this pressure something in the young people, who were already very tense, had to break down.72. After the war, it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pensinflamed against war, Babbittry, and “Puritanical” gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center…-After the war, it was only natural the promising young writers whose thoughts and writings extremely opposed war, Babbittry and “Puritanical” gentility, should come in great numbers to live in the Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.73.

There is a limit to what flesh and blood can bear.There is a limit to what any human being can bear。

Lesson 71.Boy and man, I had been through it often before.As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- tentravelled through the region.2.But somehow I had never quite sensed its appalling desolation.But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.3.It reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressingjoke.This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.4.The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grime of the endlessmills.The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.5.They have taken as their model a brick set on end.The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built looked like bricks standing upright.6.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards, with anarrow, low-pitched roof.These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.7.When it has taken on the patina of the mills it is the color of an egglong past all hope or caring.When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten egg.8.Red brick, even in a steel town, ages with some dignity.Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.9.I award this championship only after laborious research and incessantprayer.I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.10.T hey show grotesqueries of ugliness that, in retrospect, become almostdiabolical.They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.11.I t is incredible that mere ignorance should have achieved suchmasterpieces of horror.It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.12.O n certain levels of the American race, indeed, there seems to be apositive libido for the ugly.People in certain strata of American society seem definitely to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Christian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.13.T hey meet, in some unfathomable way, its obscure and unintelligibledemands.These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot understand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind. 14.T hey made it perfect in their own sight by putting a completelyimpossible penthouse, painted a staring yellow, on top of it.They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.15.O ut of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hatestruth.From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth．lesson 101.The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle-aged…At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it longingly.2. The rejection of Victorian gentility was,in any case, inevitable.In any case, an American could not avoid casting aside its middle-class r espectability and affected refinement.3.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian social structure….The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social s tructure.4. …it was tempted,in America at least,to escape its responsibilities a nd retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication..In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk thei r responsibilities.

The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each o ther but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other .2. What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider to be lazy and troublesome people.3. There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are t here many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governi ng board of a factory).4. The contemporary world demands that everyth ing be done on a big scale and the English do not like or trust bigness.5. At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak perf ormance.6. Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just fo r changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7. To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems t o Englishness a public stupidity~8. I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility of Admass winning.9. Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and et hical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservo ir of principles cannot supply.10. These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11. They can be found too though there are not many of them now becau se these kind of people are dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, ext remely conservative politicians who refuse to accept high posts in big co mmercial enterprises.12. They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.13. He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This ki nd of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.14. These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far a way where some people are always quarreling and arguing over some sm all matter.15. If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now s uddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.Lesson 131. The writers of these letters said they were sad at the stand I had taken and they were full of blame and censure. They said I should either admit being ignorant or accept the fact that I was a stubborn and feelingless pers on.2. I am indeed aware that the movement for abolition is widespread and those Who are for abolition express their views very strongly and clearly.3. I begin my argument by first conceding that my conclusion is not final and there is still room for discussion.4. He would feel glad because it g ives pleasure to see a case that gives no opening for attack.5. At the very beginning of our discussion we find here the abolitionists j umping to an improper conclusion as they generally do.6. The sentencin g of uncontrollable brutes to death need not be influenced by anger, vindi ctiveness or moral conceit.7. A presumptive reason, might be extended to cover other acts that destr oy the moral basis of civilization.8. The abolitionists in their propaganda speak of human life as something sacred and inviolable in low solemn tones.9. They will bless our military forces and pray for our victory when called upon to do so, despite the fact that the sixth commandment of the churc h forbids killing. 10. If the sanctity of life is something absolute then we must let the murderer do whatever he wants to you.11. The absolute sanctity of human life is a slogan and not a well thought out proposal of the abolitionists.12. In examining the problems of poverty, mental disorder, dilinquency o r crime, an increasing number of generous and learned people are now sol ely interested in the diseased, the perverted, the mentally abnormal person s.13. ()f course we are sorry for the victims, but science, which is developi ng and progressing, is not interested in the dull ordinary people who are t he victims.14. We cannot know what the long term consequences of some crimes are likely to be.15. There is no doubt a killer who weighs 150 pounds and who cannot co ntrol his brutal strength has an undeveloped mind like that of a nine-year-old child.Lesson 141.
