Lesson 11. We're elevated 23 feet.We're 23 feet above sea level.2. The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it.The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3. We can batten down and ride it out.We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. The generator was doused, and the lights went out.Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody out the back door to the cars!Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems had been killed by water.The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. John watched the water lap at the steps, and felt a crushing guilt.As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. Get us through this mess, will you?Oh God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. She carried on alone for a few bars; then her voice trailed away.Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis had just one delayed reaction.Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.Lesson 21. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. A carpenter sits crosslegged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lighting speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. …every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxury. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white -skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one’s eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10. …for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, back-breaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal.12. People with brown skins are next door to invisible.People with brown skins are almost invisible.13.Their splendid bodies were hidden in reach-me-down khaki uniforms,…The Senegalese soldiers were wearing ready-made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well-built bodies.14. How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us? 15.Every white man there had this thought stowed somewhere or other in his mind. Every white man,the onlookers,the officers on their horses and the white N.C.Os. marching with the black soldiers,had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mind.Lesson 31.And it is an activity only of human.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for making a point.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact, the best conversationalists are those who are prepared to lose.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.Bar friends are not deeply involved in each other’s lives.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other's lives.5. …it could still go ignorantly on…The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.There are cattle in the fields, but we sit down to beef (boeuf).These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7. The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him by building their French against his own language.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.English had come royally into its own.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9. The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.The phrase,the King's English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes.The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11. There is always a great danger that “words will harden into things for us.”There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn't regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12. Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips and slides in conversation.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard,formal English all the time in their conversation.Lesson 41. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe...Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. This much we pledge—and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.5. …our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace…The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6. …to enlarge the area in which its writ may run…We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7. …before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction…Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8. …yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war…Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9. So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,…So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11. …each generation of Americans has been summon ed to give testimony to its national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country .12. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lea d the land we love,…Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson61.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.The Fiesta appears to have sunk without a trace.The car model, called Fiesta, seems to have disappeared completely.3.It was the automotive equivalent of the International Style.The idea of a world car is similar to the idea of having a world style for architecture.4.As in architecture, so in automaking.Things that are happening in auto making are similar to those happening in architecture.5.No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture.The modern man no longer has very distinct individual traits shaped by a special environment and culture.6.The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the world.7.The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense in another name for limitations.The benefit of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities.8.The universalizing imperative of technology is irresistable.The compelling force of technology to universalize cannot be resisted.9....when every artist thought he owed it to himself to turn his back on the Eiffel Tower, as a protest against the architectural blasphemy,When every artist thought it was his duty to show his contempt for and objection to the Eiffel Tower which they considered an irreverent architectural structure.10....a mobile, extra human plasticity which was absolutely new.a flexible and pliable quality that was beyond human powers and absolutely new.11.It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science,12.That, perhaps,establishes the logical limit of the modern aesthetic.This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.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 respectability 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 structure.4. …it was tempted,in America at least,to escape its responsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication..In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasuresillicit,...The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.6….our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7. …they‖wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up‖The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended.8.…they had outgrown towns and families….These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9.…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11….it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pens inflamed against war,Babbittry,and ―Puritanical‖gentility,should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.。

Unit 2 Marrakech一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上嗡嗡而起追逐过去,但几分钟过后又飞了回来。
一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,边走边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。
苍蝇之所以群起追逐是因为在这个地方死人的尸首从不装进棺木,只是用一块破布裹着放在一个草草做成的木头架子上,有四个朋友抬着送葬。
朋友们到了安葬场后,便在地上挖出一个一二英尺深的长方形坑,将尸首往坑里一倒。
再扔一些像碎砖头一样的干土块。
不立墓碑,不留姓名,什么识别标志都没有。
坟场只不过是一片土丘林立的荒野,恰似一片已废弃不用的建筑场地。
一两个月过后,就谁也说不准自己的亲人葬于何处了。
当你穿行也这样的城镇——其居民20万中至少有2万是除开一身聊以蔽体的破衣烂衫之外完全一无所有——当你看到那些人是如何生活,又如何动辄死亡时,你永远难以相信自己是行走在人类之中。
实际上,这是所有的殖民帝国赖以建立的基础。
这里的人都有一张褐色的脸,而且,人数书如此之多!他们真的和你意义同属人类吗?难道他们也会有名有姓吗?也许他们只是像彼此之间难以区分的蜜蜂或珊瑚虫一样的东西。
他们从泥土里长出来,受哭受累,忍饥挨饿过上几年,然后有被埋在那一个个无名的小坟丘里。
谁也不会注意到他们的离去。
就是那些小坟丘本身也过不了很久便会变成平地。
有时当你外出散步,穿过仙人掌丛时,你会感觉到地上有些绊脚的东西,只是在经过多次以后,摸清了其一般规律时,你才会知道你脚下踩的是死人的骷髅。
我正在公园里给一只瞪羚喂食。
动物中也恐怕只有瞪羚还活着时就让人觉得是美味佳肴。
事实上,人们只要看到它们那两条后腿就会联想到薄荷酱。
我现在喂着的这只瞪羚好象已经看透了我的心思。
它虽然叼走了拿在手上的一块面包,但显然不喜欢我这个人。
它一面啃食着面包,一面头一低向我顶过来,再啃一下面包又顶过来一次。
它大概还因为把我赶开之后那块面包仍会悬在空中。

Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King’s English人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。
动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。
闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。
它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。
要是有人觉得“有些话要说”,那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。
闲聊不是为了进行争论。
闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。
闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。
事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。
也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。
或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。
酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。
他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。
他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。
有一天晚上的情形正是这样。
人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。
谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。
可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。
我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。
“几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。
”此语一出,谈话立即热烈起来。
有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。
最后,当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样,由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

高级英语张汉熙第三版第二册第三课Inaugural Address 中英对照 多知识点
Inaugural Address(January 20, 1961)John F. Kennedy1 We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.我们今天举行的不是一个政党的祝捷大会,而是一次自由的庆典。
这是一个承先启后、继往开来的大事件。
因为刚才我已依照我们的先辈在将近一又四分之三个世纪以前拟好的誓言在诸位和全能的上帝面前庄严宣誓。
inaugural (adj.) : of an inauguration就职(典礼)的signify (v.) : be a sign or indication of;mean表明;意味almighty (adj.) : having unlimited power;all-powerful有无限权力的;全能的forebear (n.) : an ancester 祖先,祖宗prescribe (v.) : set down as a rule or direction;order;ordain;direct命令;指示;规定,订立2 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.当今的世界已与往昔大不相同了。

柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。
柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击.路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。
但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一-妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。
为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。
两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里.他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。
约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。
公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。
37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的.四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。
不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。
“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。
至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。
我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。
"老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。

The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. A carpenter sits crosslegged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lighting speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. …every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxury. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white -skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one’s eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10. …for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, back-breaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal.12. People with brown skins are next door to invisible.People with brown skins are almost invisible.13.Their splendid bodies were hidden in reach-me-down khaki uniforms,…The Senegalese soldiers were wearing ready-made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well-built bodies.14. How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us? 15.Every white man there had this thought stowed somewhere or other in his mind. Every white man,the onlookers,the officers on their horses and the white N.C.Os. marching with the black soldiers,had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mind.Lesson 31.And it is an activity only of human.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for making a point.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact, the best conversationalists are those who are prepared to lose.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.Bar friends are not deeply involved in each other’s lives.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other's lives.5. …it could still go ignorantly on…The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.There are cattle in the fields, but we sit down to beef (boeuf).These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7. The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him by building their French against his own language.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.English had come royally into its own.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9. The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.The phrase,the King's English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes.The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11. There is always a great danger that “words will harden into things for us.”There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn't regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12. Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips and slides in conversation.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard,formal English all the time in their conversation.Lesson 41. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe...Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. This much we pledge—and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.5. …our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace…The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6. …to enlarge the area in which its writ may run…We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7. …before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction…Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8. …yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war…Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9. So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,…So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11. …each generation of Americans has been summon ed to give testimony to its national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country .12. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lea d the land we love,…Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson61.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.The Fiesta appears to have sunk without a trace.The car model, called Fiesta, seems to have disappeared completely.3.It was the automotive equivalent of the International Style.The idea of a world car is similar to the idea of having a world style for architecture.4.As in architecture, so in automaking.Things that are happening in auto making are similar to those happening in architecture.5.No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture.The modern man no longer has very distinct individual traits shaped by a special environment and culture.6.The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the world.7.The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense in another name for limitations.The benefit of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities.8.The universalizing imperative of technology is irresistable.The compelling force of technology to universalize cannot be resisted.9....when every artist thought he owed it to himself to turn his back on the Eiffel Tower, as a protest against the architectural blasphemy,When every artist thought it was his duty to show his contempt for and objection to the Eiffel Tower which they considered an irreverent architectural structure.10....a mobile, extra human plasticity which was absolutely new.a flexible and pliable quality that was beyond human powers and absolutely new.11.It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science,12.That, perhaps,establishes the logical limit of the modern aesthetic.This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.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 respectability 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 structure.4. …it was tempted,in America at least,to escape its responsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication..In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures illicit,...The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.6….our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7. …they‖wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up‖The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended.8.…they had outgrown towns and families….These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9.…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”…(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11….it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pens inflamed against war,Babbittry,and ―Puritanical‖gentility,should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.。

Unit 1 Pub T alk and the King’s English人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊,而且是人类特有的一种活动。
动物之间的信息交流,不论其方式何等复杂,也是称不上交谈的。
闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。
它时而迂回流淌,时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射,时而热情洋溢,话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。
要是有人觉得"有些话要说",那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。
闲聊不是为了进行争论。
闲聊中常常会有争论,不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。
闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。
事实上,真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。
也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失,他们也就听之任之。
或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。
酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解,他们只是临时凑到一起来的,彼此并无深交。
他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂,或恋爱失败,或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿,但别人根本不管这些。
他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样,虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事,也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。
有一天晚上的情形正是这样。
人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉,从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。
谈了半天也没有一个中心话题,事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。
可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处,中心话题奇迹般地出现了。
我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的,那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。
"几天前,我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的批评用语,指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。
"此语一出,谈话立即热烈起来。
有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。
最后,当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样,由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

高级英语第二册课文翻译第一课迎战卡米尔号飓风第二课马拉喀什见闻第三课酒肆闲聊与标准英语第四课就职演说(1961年1月20日)第五课爱情就是谬误第六课从天窗中消失第七课爱丑之欲第八课工人是创造者还是机器第九课从奥米勒斯城出走的人第十课悲哀的青年一代第十一课英国人的未来第十二课一个发现:做一个美国人意味着什么第十三课为死刑辩护第十四课亦爱亦恨话纽约第一课迎战卡米尔号飓风小约翰。
柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。
柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。
路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。
但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。
为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。
两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。
他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。
约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。
公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。
37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。
四年前,他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。
不过,当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低,高出海平面仅几英尺。
“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺,,’他对父亲说,“而且距离海边足有250码远。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。
至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。
我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。
”老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。
他对儿子的意见表示赞同。
“我们是可以严加防卫。
度过难关的,”他说?“一但发现危险信号,我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。
”为了对付这场飓风,几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。
自米水管道可能遭到破坏,他们把浴盆和提俑都盛满水。
飓风也可能造成断电,所以他们检查r手提式收音机和手电筒里的电池以及提灯里的燃料油。
约翰的父亲将一台小发电机搬到楼下门厅里.接上几个灯泡。
并做好把发电机与电冰箱接通的准备。
那天下午,雨一直下个不停.乌云随着越来越猛的暴风从海湾上空席卷而来。
全家早早地用r晚餐。
邻居中一个丈夫去了越南的妇女跑过来。
问她和她的两个孩子是否能搬进柯夏克家躲避风灾:另一个准备向内陆带转移的邻居也跑来问柯夏克家能否替他照看一下他的狗。
不到七点钟,天就黑了.,狂风暴雨拍打着屋子。
约翰让大儿子和大女儿上楼去取来被褥和枕头给几个小一点的孩子。
他想把全家人都集中在同一层楼上。
“不要靠近窗户!”他警告说,担心在飓风巾震破的玻璃碎片会飞来伤人。
风凶猛地咆哮起来?屋子开始漏雨了……那雨水好像能穿墙透壁,往屋里直灌。
一家人都操起拖把、毛巾、盆罐和水桶,展l开了一场排水战。
到八点半钟,电没有了。
柯夏克老爹便启动了小发电机。
飓风的咆哮声压倒了一切。
房子摇晃着,起居室的天花板一块块掉下来。
楼上一个房问的法兰西式两用门砰地一声被风吹开了。
楼下的人还听到楼上其他玻璃窗破碎时发出的劈劈啪啪的响声。
积水已经漫到脚踝上了。
随后,前门开始从门框上脱落。
约翰和查理用肩膀抵住¨,但一股水浪冲击过来。
撞开了大门,把两人都掀倒在地板上。
发电机泡在水里,电灯熄灭了。
查理舔了舔嘴唇,对着约翰大喊道:“这回可真是大难临头了。
这水是成的。
”海水已经漫到屋子跟前?积水仍不断上涨。
“都从后门到汽车上去!”约翰提高嗓门大叫道。
“我们把孩子2们一个个递过去,数一数!一共九个!”孩子们从大人手上像救火队的水桶一样被递了过去。
可是汽车不能发动了?它的点火系统被水泡坏了。
水深风急。
又不可能靠两只脚逃命。
“回屋里去!.'约翰高声喊道。
“数一数孩子们。
一共九个!”等他们爬着回到屋里后。
约翰又命令道:“都到楼梯上去!,,于是大家都跑到靠两堵内墙保护的楼梯上歇着。
个个吓得要命,气喘吁吁,浑身湿透。
孩子们把取名为斯普琪的一只猫和一个装着四只小猫仔的盒子放在楼梯平台上。
斯普琪心神不定地打量着自己的幼仔,邻人的那条狗已蜷起身子睡着了。
狂风就像在身边呼啸而过的列车一样发出震耳的响声,房屋在地基上晃动移位。
一楼的外墙坍塌了,海水渐渐地漫上了楼梯。
大家沉默无语?谁都明白现在已是无路可逃.死活都只好留在崖子里了。
查理。
希尔对邻家的妇女和她那两个孩子多少尽了一点责任。
那妇女简直吓昏了头。
她紧紧地抓住他的胳膊连声叫道:“我不会游泳,我可不会游泳啊r“不会游泳也不要紧?”他强作镇定地安慰她道,..一会儿便什么都过去了。
”柯夏克老奶奶伸出胳臂挽住丈夫的肩膀。
把嘴凑到他的耳边说,“老爷子,我爱你。
”柯老爹扭过头来也回了一句“我爱你,,一一…说话声已不像平日那样粗声粗气的厂。
约翰望着海水漫过一级一级的台阶,心里感到一阵强烈的内疚。
都怪他低估了卡米尔号飓风的危险性,一直认为未曾发生过的事情决不会发生。
他两手抱着头,默默地祈祷着:“啊.上帝,保佑我们度过这~难关吧!”不一会儿,?阵强风掠过,将整个屋顶卷入空中,抛向4()英尺以外。
楼梯底层的几级台阶断裂开来。
有一堵墙眼看着就要倒向这群陷入进退维谷境地的男女老少。
设在弗罗里达州迈阿密的国家飓风中心主任罗伯特.H.辛普森博士将卡米尔号飓风列为“有过记载的袭击西半球有人居住地区的最猛烈的一场飓风”。
在飓风中心纵横约70英里的范围内,其风速接近每小时200英里,掀起的浪头高达30英尺。
海湾沿岸风过之处,所有东西都被一扫而光。
19 467户人家和709家小商号不是完全被毁,便是遭到严重破坏。
高尔夫港一个60万加仑的油罐被狂风刮起,摔到3.5英里以外。
三艘大型货轮被刮离泊位,推上岸滩。
电线杆和20英寸粗的松树一遇狂风袭击便像连珠炮似的根根断裂。
位于高尔夫港以西的帕斯克里斯琴镇几乎被夷为平地。
住在该镇那座豪华的黎赛留公寓度假的几位旅客组织了一次聚会,从他们所居的有利地位观赏飓风的壮观景象,结果像是有一个其大无比的拳头把公寓打得粉碎,26人因此丧生。
柯夏克家的屋顶一被掀走,约翰就高喊道:“快上楼一一到卧室里去!数数孩子。
”在倾盆大雨中,大人们围成一圈,让孩子们紧紧地挤在中间。
柯夏克老奶奶哀声切切地说道:“孩子们,咱们大家来唱支歌吧!”孩子们都吓呆了,根本没一点反应。
老奶奶独个儿唱了几句,然后她的声音就完全消失了。
客厅的壁炉和烟囱崩塌了下来。
弄得瓦砾横飞。
眼看他们栖身的那间卧室电有两面墙壁行将崩塌,约翰立即命令大伙:“进电视室去!”这是离开风头最远的一个房间。
约翰用手将妻子搂了一下。
詹妮丝心里明白了他的意思。
由于风雨和恐惧,她不住地发抖。
她一面拉过两个孩子紧贴在自己身边,一面默祷着:亲爱的上帝啊,赐给我力量,让我经受住必须经受的一切吧。
她心里怨恨这场飓风。
我们一定不会让它得胜。
柯夏克老爹心中窝着一团火,深为自己在飓风面前无能为力而感到懊丧。
也说不清为什么,他跑到一问卧室里去将一只杉木箱和一个双人床垫拖进了电视室。
就在这里,一面墙壁被风刮倒了,提灯也被吹灭。
另外又有一面墙壁在移动,在摇晃。
查理.希尔试图以身子撑住它,但结果墙还是朝他这边塌了下来,把他的背部也给砸伤了。
房子在颤动摇晃,已从地基上挪开了25英尺。
整个世界似乎都要分崩离析了。
“我们来把床垫竖起来!”约翰对父亲大声叫道。
“把它斜靠着挡挡风。
让孩子们躲到垫子下面去,我们可以用头和肩膀把垫子大一点的孩子趴在地板上,小一点的一层层地压在大的身上,大人们都弯下身子罩住他们。
地板倾斜了。
装着那一窝四只小猫的盒子从架上滑下来,一下子就在风中消失了。
斯普琪被从一个嵌板书柜顶上刮走而不见踪影了。
那只狗紧闭着双眼,缩成一团。
又一面墙壁倒塌了。
水拍打着倾斜的地板。
约翰抓住一扇还连在壁柜墙上的门,对他父亲大声叫道:“假若地板塌了,咱们就把孩子放到这块门板上面。
”就在这一刹那间,风势稍缓了一些,水也不再上涨了。
随后水开始退落。
卡米尔号飓风的中心过去了。
柯夏克一家和他们的朋友都幸存下来了。
天刚破晓,高尔夫港的居民便开始陆续返回家园。
他们看到了遇难者的尸体一一密西西比沿海一带就有130多名男女和儿童丧生一海滩和公路上有些地方布满了死狗死猫和死牲畜。
尚未被风刮倒的树上结彩似地挂满被撕成布条的衣服,吹断的电线像黑色的实心面一样盘成一圈一圈地散在路面上。
那些从外面返回家乡的人们个个都是慢慢地走动着,也没有谁高声大叫。
他们怔住了,呆立当地,不知该怎么才能接受眼前这幅使人惊骇的惨景。
他们问道:“我们该怎么办?…‘我们该上哪儿去呢?”这时,该地区的一些团体,实际上还有全美国的人民,都向沿海受灾地区伸出了援助之手。
天还没亮,密西西比州国民警卫队和一些民防队便开进灾区,管理交通,保护财物,建立通讯联络中心,帮助清理废墟并将无家可归的人送往难民收容中心。
上午十时许,救世军的流动快餐车和红十字会志愿队及工作人员已开往所有能够到达的地方去分发热饮料、食品、衣服和卧具了。
全国各地的数百个城镇募集了数百万美元的捐款送往灾区。
各种家用和医疗用品通过飞机、火车、卡车和轿车源源不断地运进灾区。
联邦政府运来了440万磅食品,还运来了活动房屋,造起了活动教室,并开设了发放低息长期商业贷款的办事机构。
在此期间,卡米尔号飓风横扫密西西比州后继续北进,给弗吉尼亚州西部和南部带来了28英寸以上的暴雨,致使洪水泛滥,地塌山崩,又造成111人丧生,最后才在大西洋上空慢慢消散。
第二课马拉喀什见闻一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上瓮嗡嗡而起追逐过去,但几分钟过后又非了回来。
一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,一边走着一边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。
苍蝇之所以群起追逐是因为在这个地方死人的尸首从不装进棺木,只是用一块破布裹着放在一个草草做成的木头架子上,有四个朋友抬着送葬。
朋友们到了安葬场后,便在地上挖出一个一二英尺深的长方形坑,将尸首往坑里一倒。
再扔一些像碎砖头一样的日、干土块。
不立墓碑,不留姓名,什么识别标志都没有。
坟场只不过是一片土丘林立的荒野,恰似一片已废弃不用的建筑场地。
一两个月过后,就谁也说不准自己的亲人葬于何处了。
当你穿行也这样的城镇——其居民20万中至少有2万是除开一身聊以蔽体的破衣烂衫之外完全一无所有——当你看到那些人是如何生活,又如何动辄死亡时,你永远难以相信自己是行走在人类之中。
实际上,这是所有的殖民帝国赖以建立的基础。
