新概念英语第三册逐句精讲:第37课开往威斯特海温的快车lesson37 The Westhaven Express 开往威斯特海温的快车新概念3课文内容：We have learnt to expect that trains will be punctual. After years of conditioning, most of us have developed an unshakable faith in railway timetables. Ships may be delayed by storms; air flights may be cancelled because of bad weather; but trains must be on time. Only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily dislocate railway services. It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong. The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.After consulting my railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven. It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes. When I boarded the train, I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well. At the time, this did not strike me as odd. I reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line. Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals. But when the train dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder. It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not even heard of it. I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he denied the train's existence, I borrowed his copy of the timetable. There was a note of triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. It said: 'This service has been suspended.' 新概念英语3逐句精讲： 1.We have learnt to expect that trainswill be punctual. 我们已经习惯于相信火车总是准点的。

新概念英语课堂笔记Lesson37：OnTellingtheTr

新概念英语课堂笔记Lesson37：OnTellingtheTr新概念英语课堂笔记 Lesson37:On Telling the TruthLesson 37 On Telling the Truth 论讲真话The Victorians, realizing that the greatest Happiness accorded to man is that provided by a happy marriage, endeavoured to pretend that all their marriages were happy. We, for our part, admitting the fact that no feat of intelligence and character is so exacting as that required of two people who desire to live permanently together on a basis of amity, are obsessed by the problem of how to render the basic facts of cohabitation simpler and more reasonable, in order that unhappy marriages may less frequently result. The Victorians would have considered it 'painful' or 'unpleasant' were one to point out that only four marriages out of every ten are anything but forced servitudes. We ourselves start from this very assumption and try to build from it a theory of more sensible relations between the sexes. Of all forms of arrant untruthfulness Victorian optimism appears to me to have been the most cowardly and the most damaging.Truth, therefore, is an attitude of the mind. lt is important, if one does not wish to inconvenience and to bore one's friends, not to tell lies. But it is more important not to think lies, or to slide into those mechanical and untruthful habits of thought which are so pleasant and so easy as descents to mental ineptitude. The victorian habit of mind (which I consider to have been a bad habit of mind) was unduly preoccupied by what was socially and morally convenient. Convenience is, however, in all affairs of life, an execrable test of value. One should have the courage to think uncomfortably, since it is only by rejecting theconvenient that one can come to think the truth. Not, after all, that there is any such thing as truth. At best we can approach to some relative approximation. On the other hand, there is surely such a thing as untruth. One is generally aware when one has said something, or acted in some way which has left on other people an impressionnot strictly in accordance with the facts. One is generally aware, also. when one has thrust aside an inconvenient thought and slid into its place another thought which is convenient. One's awareness in the former case is in general more acute than in the latter, since we are more on the look-out for the lies we utter than for those we merely think. In fact, however, it is the untruthful thought which is the more vicious of the two. Spoken lies are invariably tiresome and may actually be dishonest. But continuous lying in the mind, a disease to which the Anglo-Saxon is peculiarly exposed, spells the destruction of human thought and character.New words and expressions 生词短语（改正）Victoria (1837-1901)前期是 unrest, alarm.后期 growing prosperityindustrialism 工业革命 free trade 自由贸易Britain was named workshop of the world.cession of Hongkong to U.K.cession 割让opium war 战争critical realism 批判现实主义made big fortune = made good moneyCharles Dickenshard times 艰难时事middle class 中产阶级The Tale of Two Cities 双城记Oliver Twist 雾都孤儿Vanity Fair 名利场status 地位rank 头衔乔治。

by storms; air flights may be cancelled because of bad weather; but trains must be on time. Only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily dislocate railway services. It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong. The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.
After consulting my railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven. It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes. When I boarded the train, I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well. At the time, this did not strike me as odd. I reflected that there must be a great many people besides
myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line. Even a mighty
express train can be held up by signals. But when the train dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder. It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along
at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had
not even covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if
this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not even heard of it. I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived.
Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master
at Westhaven. When he denied the train's existence, I
borrowed his copy of the timetable. There was a note of
triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there in
black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. It said： 'This service has been suspended.'
【课文翻译】
我们已经习惯于相信火车总是准点的。

经过多年的适合，绝大部
分人对火车时刻表产生了一种不可动摇的信念。

轮船船期可能因风暴
而推延，飞机航班可能因恶劣天气而取消，唯有火车必然是准点的。

只有非同寻常的大雪才可能暂时打乱铁路运行。

所以，一旦铁路上真
出了问题，人们便不加思索地责备铁路*。

事实上，差错很可能是我们
自己，而不是铁路*的。

我查看了列车时刻表，满意地了解到有一趟去威斯特海温的快车。

这是趟直达车，旅途总共才需1小时17分钟。

上车后，我不禁注意到
很多当地人也上了车。

一开始，我并不感到奇怪，我想除我之外，想
利用快车之便的也一定大有人在。

火车开出几英里即在一个小站威德
里停了下来。

对此，我不觉得奇怪，因为即便是特别快车也可能被信
号拦住。

但是，当火车一站接着一站往前蠕动时，我便产生了怀疑。

我突然感到这趟快车并没以时速90英里的速度呼啸前进，而是卟哧卟
哧地向前爬行，时速仅30英里。

1小时17分过去了，走了还不到一半路程。

我问一位乘客，这是不是开往威斯特海温的那趟快车，他说从
未听说过有这么一趟快车。

我决定到目的地就给铁路部门提意见。

两
小时后，我气呼呼地同威斯特海温站站长说起此事。

他说根本没有这
趟车。

于是我借他本人的列车时刻表，我带着一种胜利者的调子告诉
他那趟车白纸黑字。

明明白白印在时刻表上。

他迅速地扫视了一眼，
让我再看一遍。

一个小小的星形符号把我的目光引到了那页底部一个说明上。

上面写着：“此趟列车暂停运行。

”
