Man of the Moment
• Act 1:
Vic Parks is the man of the moment; a celebrity criminal who having spent nine years in jail for a botched bank robbery, has written his autobiography and is now a bona fide television celebrity. Now living in a villa, complete with swimming pool, in the Mediterranean, he has agreed to appear on the TV show Their Paths Crossed. The host Jill Rillington intends to reunite, 17 years on, Vic with Douglas Beechey – the unassuming clerk who foiled the robbery.
7
Jill hopes to exploit the irony that although Douglas had a brief 15 minutes of fame and married his true love Nerys (incidentally maimed during the raid), the man who has found success and celebrity is the villain. Expecting jealousy, envy and bitterness from Douglas, Jill instead finds a profoundly accepting, honest and good man who has no regrets about his life and is actually a fan of Vic’s TV show. His only wish being that his moment of fame had lasted a little longer.

现代大学英语精读4第二版Unit5AForWantofaDrink课文原文.docx

For Wantof a Drink1. When the word Water appears in Print noWadays, CriSiS is rarely far behind. Water, it is said, is the new oil: a resource IOng SqUandered, now growing expensive and SOOn to be OVerWheImed by in SatiabIe dema nd. AqUiferS are falli ng, glaciers Vani Shi ng, reservoirs drying UP and rivers no IOnger flowing to the sea. CIimate Change threatens to make the problem worse. EVeryOne must USe less Water if famine, PeStiIence and mass migratiOn are not to SWeeP the globe.2. The Ianguage is often overblown, and the remedies SOmetimeS ill-conCeiVed, but the basic message is not wrong. Water is in deed SCarCe in many places, and will grow scarcer. Bringing SUPPIy and dema nd into equilibrium will be Pain ful, and political disputes may in CreaSe in number and intenSify in their CaPaCity to CaUSe trouble. To Carry on With PreSent PraCtiCe would in deed be to in Vite disaster.3. Why? The difficulties Start With the Sheer nu mber of people USing the stuff. Whe n, 60 years ago, the world's populatiOn WaS about 2.5 billion, WOrrieS about Water SUPPIy affected relatively few people. Both drought and hun ger existed, as they have throughout history, but most people could be fed WithOUt irrigated farming. Then the green revolution,in an inSPired comb in ati on of new crop breeds, fertilizers and water, made POSSibIe a huge rise in the populati on. The nu mber of people On Earth rose to 6 billi On in 2000, n early 7 billi On today, and is headi ng for 9 billi on in 2050. The area Un der irrigati on has doubled and the amount of Water draw n for farmi ng has tripled. The proporti On Of people Iiv ing in COUn tries Chr Oni cally short of Water is Set to rise from 8% at the turn of the 21st Century to 45% by 2050.4. Farmers 'in CreaS ing dema nd for Water is CaUSed not only by the grow ing nu mber of mouths to be fed but also by people's desire for better-tast ing, more in teresti ng food. UnfOrtUn ately, it takes n early twice as much Water to grow a kilo of Pea nuts as a kilo of SOybea ns, n early four times as much Water to PrOdUCe a kilo of beef as a kilo of ChiCken. With 2 billion people around the world about to en ter the middle class, the agricultural dema nds On Water wouldinCreaSe even if the population stood still.5.lndustry, too, needs water. It takes about 22% of the world's withdrawals. DOmeStiC activities take the other 8%. TOgether, the dema nds of these two CategOrieS quadrupled in the SeC Ond half of the 20th Cen tury, grow ing twice as fast as those of farming.6. Meet ing that dema nd is a difficult task. One reas on is that the SUPPIy of Water is fin ite. The world will have no more of it in 2025 or 2050 than it has today, or When it IaPPed at the SideS of Noah's Ark. ThiS is because the law of con SerVati on of mass says, broadly, that however you USe it, you CannOt destroy the stuff. Neither Can you readily make it. If some of it SeemS to come from the skies, that is because it has evaporated from the Earth's surface, COnden Sed and retur ned.7. Most Of this SUrfaCe is sea, and the Water below it—OVer 97% Of the total On Earth —is salty. In Principle, the salt Can be removed to inCreaSe the SUPPly of fresh water, but atPreSent desali nati On is expe nsive and USeS lots of en ergy.8.Of the 2.5% of Water that is not salty, about 70% is frozen, either at the poles, in glaciers or in permafrost. So all living things, except those in the sea, have about 0.75% of the total to SUrViVe on. Most of this available Water is Un dergro und, in aquifers or SimiIar formati ons. The rest is falling as rain, Sitting in lakes and reservoirs or flowing in rivers Where it is, With luck, replaced by rainfall and melting SnOW and ice. There is also, take note, Water vapor in the atmosphere.9. The value of Water as a commodity of COUrSe VarieS according to locality, PUrPOSe and CirCUmStance. Take locality first. Water is not evenly distributed —just nine countries accoUnt for 60% of all available fresh supplies—and among them OnIy Brazil, Canada, Colombia, COngO, Indonesia and RUSSia have an abundance. AmeriCa is relatively well off, but China and India, With over a third of the world's population between them, have less than 10% of its water.10. Eve n Withi n coun tries the Variati OnS may be huge. The average annual rain fall in India's nOrtheaSt is 110 times that in its WeStern desert. And many PIaCeS have plenty of water, or even far too much. Flooding is routine, and may become more frequent and damaging With CIimate Cha nge.11.Scarce or plentiful, Water is above all local. It is heavy ——One CUbiC Water WeighS a tonne—, so expe nsive to move. SUrfaCe Water- mostly rivers, lakes and reservoirs——will not flow from One bas in into ano ther WithOUt artificial divers ion, and usually OnIy With PUmPi ng. Withi n a bas in, the Water UPStream may be USefUI for irrigati on, in dustrial or domestic use. AS it n ears the sea, though, the opportUnities diminish to the POint Where it has no USeS except to SUStain deltas, wetla nds and to Carry silt out to sea.12. These should not be overlooked. If rivers do not flow, no thi ng Can live in them. OVer a fifth of the world's freshwater fish SPeCieS of a Cen tury ago are now endan gered or ext inct. Half the world's wetla nds have also disappeared over the PaSt 200 years. The POint is, though, that even Within a basin Water is more VaIUabIe in some PIaCeS than in others.13. Almost anyWhere arid, the Water Underground, OnCe largely ignored, has come to be Seen as especially VaIUabIe as the dema nds of farmers have outgrow n their SUPPIieS of ra in and SUrfaCe water. GrOUn dwater has come to the rescue, and for a while it Seemed a miraculous solution: drill a borehole, PUmP the StUff UP from below and in due COUrSe it will be replaced. In many places, however, from the United StateS to India and China, the quantities being WithdraW n exceed the annual recharge. ThiS is SeriOUS for milli ons of people no t just in the COUntry but also in many of the world's biggest cities, WhiCh often depend on aquifers for their drinking water.14. The 20 million inhabitants of MeXiCO City and its surroUnding area, for example, draw over 70% of their Water from an aquifer that will run dry Within 200 years, maybe sooner.Already the City is Sinking as a result. In the Hai river basin in China, deep-groUndwater tableshave dropped by UP to 90 meters.15. Part of the beauty of the borehole is that it requires no elaborate apparatus. A Sin gle farmer may be able to Sink his OWn tube well and Start PUmP ing. That is Why In dia and China are now PerfOrated With millio ns of irrigati On wells, each draw ing On the com mon resource. SOmetimeS this resource may be huge. BUt even big aquifers are not immune to the laws of physics. Many PIaCeS are SeriOUSIy OVerdraW n. In those places, farmers PrObabIy have to Pay SOmething for the right to draw groundwater. BUt almost noWhere will the PriCe reflect scarcity, and often there is no Charge at all and no one measures how much Water is being take n.16. Priced or not, Water is Certa inly valued, and that value depe nds on the USe to WhiCh it is harnessed. Water is USed not just to grow food but to make every kind of product, from microchips to steel girders. The IargeSt in dustrial PUrPOSe to WhiCh it is PUt is cooli ng in thermal power generation, but it is also USed in drilling for and extracting oil, the making of petroleum PrOdUCtS and ethanol, and the PrOdUCtion of hydroelectricity. Some of the PrOCeSSeS involved, SUCh as hydro power generation, conSUme little water(after driving the turbines, most is retur ned to the river), but some, SUCh as the tech niq UeS USed to extract oil from San ds, are big COn SUmers.17.lndustrial USe takes about 60% of Water in rich countries and 10% in the rest. The difference in domestic USe is much smaller, 11% and 8% respectively. Some of the Variation is explained by CaPaCiOUS baths, power ShOWerS and flush lavatories in the rich world. All humans, however, need a basic minimum of two IitreS of Water in food or drink each day, and for this there is no substitute. No One SUrViVed in the ruins of Port-au-Pri nce for more tha n a few days after JanU ary's earthquake Unl ess they had access to some Water-based food or drink. That is Why many people in poor and arid countries—usually women or ChiIdren —Set off early each morning to trudge to the n earest well and retur n five or SiX hours later burde ned With PreCiOUS SUPPlies. That is Why many people believe Water to be a human right, a n ecessity more basic tha n bread or a roof over the head.18. From this much follows. One conSeqUence is a WideSPread belief that no One should have to Pay for water. The ByZantine emperor JUStinian declared in the 6th Century that "by natural law" air, running water, the Sea and SeaShOre Were "common to all." Many Indians agree, Seeing groundwater in PartiCUIar as a "democratic resource." In AfriCa it is Said that "even the jackal deserves to drin k."19. A SeCOnd conSeqUence is that Water often has a SaCred or mystical quality that is inVeSted in deities like GOng GOng and OSiriS and rivers like the Jorda n and the Gan ges. ThrOUghOUt history, man's depe ndence on Water has made him live n ear it or orga nize access to it. Water is in his body and in his soul. It has PrOVided no t just life and food but a means of tran sport, a Way of keeping clean, a mechanism for removing sewage, a home for fish and other animals, a medium With WhiCh to Skate and sail, a thi ng of beauty to PrOVide in SPirati on, to gaze upon and to enjoy. NQ WOnder a GQmmQdity With SQ many qualities, uses and associatiOnS has PrQVed SQ difficult to Qrga ni ze.。

大学英语4 课文翻译 unit5

第五单元残忍课文A有些人似乎容易了解：他们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。

然而，外表可能具有欺骗性。

患难之交S．毛姆三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。

每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。

我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。

拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。

他是个商人，在日本经商多年。

我跟他并不熟，但是对他挺有兴趣，因为有一次他让我大吃一惊。

要不是听他亲口讲述这个故事，我根本不会相信他能做出这种事来。

这件事之所以特别令人惊讶，是因为无论是外表还是风度，他都让人想到一种非常明确的类型。

要说真有表里如一的人的话，那就是此公了。

他个子很小，身高不过5英尺4英寸，身材纤细，白头发、蓝眼睛，红红的脸上布满皱纹。

我估计自己认识他时，他大约有60岁光景。

他向来衣着整洁素雅，合乎他的年龄和身份。

伯顿的办事处设在神户，但他常常到横滨宋。

有一次，我正好因为等船，要在那里呆几天，在英国俱乐部经人介绍与他相识。

我们在一起玩桥牌。

他打得不错，牌风也好。

无论在玩牌的时候，还是在后来一起喝酒的时候，他的话都不多，但说的话却都合情合理。

他挺幽默，但并不咋呼。

他在俱乐部里似乎人缘不错，后来，在他走了以后，人家都说他是个顶呱呱的人。

事有凑巧，我们俩都住在格兰德大酒店。

第二天他请我吃饭。

我见到了他的太太——一位肥肥胖胖、满面笑容的半老妇人——和他的两个女儿。

这显然是和睦恩爱的一家人。

我想，伯顿当时给我印象最深的主要还是他这个人和善。

他那双温和的蓝眼睛有种令人愉快的神情。

他说话的声音轻柔；你无法想象他会提高嗓门大发雷霆；他的笑容和蔼可亲。

这个人吸引你，是因为你从他身上感到他对别人的真正的爱。

同时他也喜欢玩牌，喝鸡尾酒，他能绘声绘色地讲个来劲儿的段子什么的，他年轻时多少还是个运动员呢。

The present text is Act II.
Desperate to get something of value for the programme, Jill - during a one-sided interviewtries to lead Douglas into what she wants to hear. Having failed to achieve her aims, she leaves Douglas with a drunken Vic, who cynically explains the art of manipulating interviews. He makes a veiled threat enquiring what Douglas is really after, to which Douglas innocently replies he just wants to exorcise Vic from his and Nerys‘s lives. Vic laughs and transfers his attentions to bullying the nanny, Sharon.
Don‘t forget I have already warned you. You are a guest here. And how I treat my servants is none of your business. Is that clear? My staff– my employees Entirely my concern– my own business
I said, mind your own bloody business. (para 28)
Bloody– an intensifier used to emphasize Vic‘s anger with D for daring to interfere with what he thinks of as his personal affair. (vulgar english) Eg. The bloody rain hasn‘t stopped yet.
Ok?– is that clear? It that understood?
To come 1/. Scientists have tried their best to find signs of life in outer space, but nothing has come of it yet.

Man of the Moment
• Act 1:
Vic Parks is the man of the moment; a celebrity criminal who having spent nine years in jail for a botched bank robbery, has written his autobiography and is now a bona fide television celebrity. Now living in a villa, complete with swimming pool, in the Mediterranean, he has agreed to appear on the TV show Their Paths Crossed. The host Jill Rillington intends to reunite, 17 years on, Vic with Douglas Beechey – the unassuming clerk who foiled the robbery.
the introduction of the author
Alan Ayckbourn
born in 1939 British playwright, actor, theater director,
(best known for his farcical dramas about the British middle class.)
2/. Will goodwill come of your actions?
You mustn‘t do that, you know….at work. (para 36)
Trudy is being sarcastic about her husband who, in her opinion, is selfish. But she does not put it in such strong words. She merely says that he only likes people who agree with him. This is because at the TV station he is surrounded by such people who spoil him.
To get one‘s breath back
(Para.10)
to let sb have a rest eg. 1/. I need time to get my breath back after all this running. 2/. Let him get his breath back.
Oh, I don‘t think that‘s fair, she‘s just… (para 15)
Oh, I don‘t think it‘s fair for you to call Sharon fat, she is just a bit overweight. Notice Douglas‘s attitude toward Sharon. He respects her as a person, and he cannot tolerate any cruelty on Vic‘s part.
To run off
(Para.14)
to flow down; to stream down 流出来，流下来
1/. He ran off 10 copies of his plan. (=print, duplicate, or copy) 2/. My sister ran off with a sailor seven years ago. (=to run away; elope)
Jill hopes to exploit the irony that although Douglas had a brief 15 minutes of fame and married his true love Nerys (incidentally maimed during the raid), the man who has found success and celebrity is the villain. Expecting jealousy, envy and bitterness from Douglas, Jill instead finds a profoundly accepting, honest and good man who has no regrets about his life and is actually a fan of Vic‘s TV show. His only wish being that his moment of fame had lasted a little longer.
Do you know the reason why you‘re sitting there like a great bowl of pork dripping? Because you fat.
(Para.14)
Vic is comparing Sharon to a great bowl of pork dripping. The underlying meaning is that Sharon is like a fat pig. Using the word ―fat‖ to describe a woman is almost a taboo.
I bet it‘s running off you underneath there, isn‘t it, eh? Eh? (para 12)
It– sharon‘s sweat. Underneath there– her arms and legs. Two ―eh‖—interjection. His purpose is to have Sharon herself confirm his insulting remarks about her
Look at her. Puffing like a whale, aren‘t you? (para10)
Notice how rudely Vic treats Sharon, insulting her by comparing her to a whale, an animal of huge bulk. Notice also that there is a transition of audience. The first sentence is addressed to the others, and the second to Sharon.
