Unit 1

4 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice.

在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

2 These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course, it’s true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics).

现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50%的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标,(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。

3 I never hoped to understand the nature of my generation or how American colleges are changing by going to Lit Theory classes. This is the class where you look cool, a bit sleepy from too many late nights and wearing a T-shirt with some ironic comment such as “Been there, done that and yes, this IS the T-shirt”.

我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征,或了解美国大学是如何在变化的。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿,穿着一件T 恤衫,上面印着“去过那儿,干过那事儿,对,这就是那件T 恤衫”,或诸如此类带有讥讽意味的俏皮话。

4 We’re a generation that comes from what has been called the short century (1914-1989), at the end of a century of war and revolution which changed civilizations, overthrew repressive governments, and left us with extraordinary opportunities and privilege, more than any generation before.

我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪(1914-1989),生于其末尾。这个世纪充满了战争和革命,它改变了人类文明,推翻了强权政府,给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权,我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。

5 Translate the sentences into English.

1 政府采取的一系列措施不但没有化解矛盾,反倒激起更多的暴力冲突。反对党联合工会发动了一次大罢工,最终导致政府的垮台。( give rise to; form an alliance with; launch; bring about)

Instead of resolving contradictions, the series of measures taken by the government gave rise to more violent clashes. The Opposition formed an

alliance with the trade unions and launched a general strike, which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government.

2 如今,大学与现实世界的距离越来越小,学生也变得越来越实际。从前,大学是一象牙塔,学者追求的是学问本身而不是把学问作为达到目的的手段,但这样的时代已经一去不复返了。( shrink; gone are the days; a means to an end) Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and the students are becoming more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.

3 我从未指望靠上课来学好这门课。但我确实去听课,因为在课上我能了解这门课的重点,学会如何组织材料、如何推理。(hope; by doing …; the place where)

I never hoped to learn the subject well by attending those lectures. But I did go to lectures, for it was the place where I could get the important points of the course and learn how to organize materials and how to reason.

4 我一直想方设法解决这个难题,但就是找不到满意的答案。可是当我去厨房喝饮料的时候,我突然间灵机一动,意识到解决问题的方法实际上可能很简单。( work out; click)

Although I have been trying every means to solve the problem, I cannot work out a satisfactory solution. But when I went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple.

Unit 2

5 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener’s theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.

这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E·B·铁钦纳首次使用时的原始技术含义。铁钦纳的理论是:同感萌发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿,这种模仿继而在自己心里引起同样的感受。

2 He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can be felt for the general plight of another with no sharing whatever of what that other person is feeling. Motor mimicry fades from toddlers’ repertoire at around two and a half years, at which point they realize that someone else’s pain is different from their own, and are better able to comfort them.

他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词;同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的,无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为,那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同,会更有能力安慰别人。

3 I also love the split-second shocked expression on the new people, the hasty smiles and their best imitations of what they think of as their "normal faces". If they do the ritual well enough I turn my head ever so

slightly and tuck my hair behind one of my ears, whichever one’s closer to them.

我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好,我就会微微转过头,把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。

4 “I mostly just read lips because it was easier to pick up than signing, although that’s not the only reason I was staring at your lips,” I told him. He laughed. We talked more, and then the host upped the music volume and dimmed the lights for the “dance floor”, and I had to lean in much, much closer to be able to continue reading his lips in the semi-darkness. And read his lips I did.

我告诉他说:“我基本上只读口形,因为这比用手语更容易,尽管这不是我一直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来,主人放大音乐的音量,调暗“舞池”的灯光;我不得不凑近他,近得多得多,以便能在昏暗中接着读他的口形。我的确看清了他的嘴唇。

6 Translate the sentences into English.

1 一看见抽屉里的那些老照片,我的眼泪就涌了出来。它们让我想起了我跟爷爷奶奶、爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹一起生活的美好时光。( the moment; well up)

The moment I saw those old photos in the drawer, tears welled up in my eyes, for my memory went back to the days when I lived happily with my grandparents, my parents and my brothers and sisters.

2 有个学生踩到地上的一滩水滑倒了。周围的人反应各异,有的关心地走上前去看他是否受伤了、能为他做点什么;有的则站在一边不知所措;有的干脆就不理。( diverge from; approach; confuse over; tune out)

When a student slipped on a pool of water and fell over, people’s reaction diverged from one another. Some approached caringly to see if he was hurt and if they could help; some just stood there confusing over what to do about it; while others just tuned out.

3 上星期六上午,我像往常一样去超市购物。我刚要打开车门,却发现没带钱包。我只好回家去找,可是哪儿也找不到。( do the usual; do nothing but; fail to do)

Last Saturday morning, I did the usual and went shopping in the supermarket. When I was about to open the door of my car, I found that I did not have my wallet on me. I could do nothing but go back home in search of it, but

I failed to find it anywhere.

4 我上小学二年级的时候,我们班有个同学得到的生日礼物是一辆红色的遥控车。我们大家只有羡慕的份,却不能也去买一辆,因为那种遥控车很贵,而且还是在香港买的,那时候在我们看来香港和美国一样遥不可及。( could only; as far as)

When I was a second grader, one of my classmates got a red radio control toy car as a birthday gift. The rest of us could only admire, but could not imitate, because the car was expensive and was bought in Hong Kong, a place which seemed to us as far away as America.

Unit 3

6 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 That was the strapline of the 200

2 film Catch Me if You Can, which tells the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), a brilliant young master of deception who at different times impersonated a doctor, a lawyer, and an airplane pilot, forging checks worth more than six million dollars in 26 countries. He became the youngest man to ever make the FBI’s most-wanted list for forgery.

这是2002 年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了弗兰克·小阿巴格纳尔(列奥纳多·迪卡普里欧饰演)的故事,影片的主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26 个国家伪造了价值六百万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的人。

2 Since 2003, identity theft has become increasingly common. Few people could imagine how important things like taking mail to the post office and not leaving it in the mailbox for pickup, shredding documents instead of throwing them out with the trash, even using a pen costing a couple of bucks, have become to avoid life-changing crimes.

2003 年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到,为了防止改变人生的犯罪,像把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用价值一两块美元的笔之类的事情已经变得多么重要。

3 If we’ve learned one thing from terrorists, not to mention action movies, it’s that a tool is also a weapon. Globally accepted credit cards and the databases that support them are tools for taking the friction out of commerce. That’s another way of saying that they’re tools for extracting money from people with minimum effort on everyone’s part.

假如说我们从恐怖分子那里——更不用说从动作电影那里——学到了一招,那就是,工具也是武器。全球通用的信用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业摩擦的工具。换句话说,它们是以让各方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工具。

4 Wherever universal identification leads, we don’t yet know how to manage

a world in which everything can be linked to me, wherever I am. We don’t know yet how to balance the undoubted convenience of this world with the peril—vague, but apparently near—that we sense in the presence of all that information combined and consolidated, if only logically.

无论通用身份的前景如何,我们尚不知道该如何应付这样一个世界:在其中,无论我身在何处,一切都可能与我有关联。我们尚不知道该如何在这世界给予我们的无可置疑的方便和我们在面对一切组合、强化了的(要是合理的话那该多好啊)信息时所感到的危险之间保持平衡。这危险模糊,但显然很近。

7 Translate the sentences into English.

1 这些文件很重要,内容要绝对保密。如果要处理掉的话,应先把它们切碎,而不是直接当垃圾扔掉。 ( content of which; tear up; instead of)

These are important documents, the content of which should be kept strictly confidential. If you need to dispose them, you must shred them instead of throwing them out with the trash.

2 现在,像伪造支票、身份证和信用卡这类的白领犯罪已变得相当普遍。尽管我们学会了许多防止被骗的招数,可是看起来我们随时都可能被骗。( forge; prevent…from)

Nowadays, white-collar crimes such as forging checks, ID cards and credit cards have become very common. Though we have learnt much about how to prevent ourselves from being cheated, it seems that we could be its victims at any time.

3 地震已过去了好几个月,生活恢复了正常。人们与平时一样忙着各自的事情。但一个无法回避的事实是,地震给人们带来的精神创伤也许永远无法抹去。( go about; there is no escaping the fact that…; mental trauma; wipe out) It has been several months since the earthquake. Life has returned to normal, and people are busy going about their business. But there is no escaping the fact that the mental trauma the earthquake brought to people will never be wiped out.

4 为什么说一个图书馆拥有大量可供随时阅览的新书及电子图书资源很重要

呢?因为那样的话,学者们就可以了解自己学科领域里的最新进展,知道自己的研究是否有价值。 ( matter; readily available to;if so)

Why does it matter that a library has many new books and electronic resources readily available to the readers? This is because if so, the scholars know the latest development in their own fields and know whether their research is valuable.

Unit 4

5 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 The objective importance of an event is obviously not enough – there are plenty of enormous global issues out there, with dramatic consequences, from poverty to global warming – but since they are ongoing, they don’t all make the headlines on the same day. 9/11, in contrast, was not just international, but odd, unexpected, and (in the sense that it was possible to identify with the plight of people caught up in the drama) very human. 一个事件光有客观重要性显然不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问题,都会造成戏剧性的后果,从贫困到全球变暖——但由于它们都是进行中的,并不都集中在同一天上头条。对比之下,9/11不仅具有国际性,而且奇特怪异、出人意料,

还(可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的困境感同身受,从这个意义上讲)极具人性。

2 But TV news is not necessarily more objective or reliable than a newspaper report, since the images you are looking at on your screen have been chosen by journalists or editors with specific objectives, or at least following set guidelines, and they are shown from a unique viewpoint. By placing the camera somewhere else you would get a different picture. 但是,电视新闻未必比报纸报道更客观或更可靠,因为你在屏幕上看到的图像是经记者或编辑根据特殊的目的,或至少是按照预定指示筛选过的;它们是从一个独特的视点展现给观众的。如果把相机移到别的地方,你就会看到另一番景象。

3 The Internet provides an easy outlet for anyone with an opinion, and there’s nothing a newspaper editor likes more for reassurance about their

work than feedback and opinions, as diverse as possible. Teenagers today don’t remember a time when they didn’t have the Internet, and reading a newspaper is something they only do if they have an assignment to write about the specific medium of print journalism.

互联网为任何有意见的人提供了一个便利的窗口;报纸编辑最喜欢的莫过于给他们提供各种不同的反馈和意见,他们能从中得到安慰。如今十几岁的少年已不记得过过没有互联网的日子了;只有在写关于印刷新闻这一特定媒体的作业时他们才去读报。

4 So maybe the newspaper won’t die without a struggle. Trends for the future of newspaper include an increased demand for local news, and the continued exploitation of lifestyle journalism, which began in the late 1980s, especially within personal finance and travel, will create new revenue streams.

如此看来,报纸是不会轻易消失的。将来报纸发展的趋势包括对本地新闻需求的日益增长,而始于20世纪80年代晚期的对生活方式新闻的持续开发利用——尤其在个人理财和旅游方面——将会创造新的收入来源。

6 Translate the sentences into English.

1 这个消息来得如此突然、如此令人震惊,我在沙发上呆呆地坐了几分钟。我的第一本能就是赶紧打电话把这件事告诉领导,看看我们能为那些在这起交通事故中死伤的同事做些什么。(so… that; first instinct)

So sudden, so striking was the news that I sat motionless on sofa for a few minutes. My first instinct was to call our leaders to tell them what had happened and see what we can do for those colleagues who died or got injured in this traffic accident.

2 纸版的儿童书与电子书相比有很大的优势。对孩子们来说,一本印刷精美的纸版书不仅是一本书也是一个玩具。读纸版书的感觉与在屏幕上读书的感觉是很不同的。( have advantage over; be different from)

Paper books for children have an enormous advantage over e-books. For children, a beautifully printed paper book is not only a book but also a toy they can play with. Reading a paper book is rather different from reading a book on the screen.

3 近年来在西方国家,传统媒体呈现出衰退的趋势,新媒体迅速发展。然而新媒体的收入又不足以弥补传统媒体丢失的市场份额。( in the tendency of; not necessarily; when it comes to)

In recent years, traditional media in the western countries are in the tendency of decline and new media are developing rapidly. However, this does not necessarily mean that tradition media have lost the market. When it comes to reading things like news, people are still used to such traditional media as newspaper.

4 随着金融危机的爆发,许多企业陷入了困境。对于那些因缺乏流动资金无法进行再生产又不想让恶性循环继续下去的企业,他们唯一能做的事情就是向政府求助。( find oneself in difficulty; turn to )

With the explosion of the financial crisis, many enterprises find themselves in difficulties. For those who have no circulating fund to

invest on new production and would not let the vicious circle continue, the only thing they can do is to turn to government for help.

Unit 5

5 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 It was a horrible joke, but Doc Daneeka didn’t laugh until Yossarian came to him one mission later and pleaded again, without any real expectation of success, to be grounded. Doc Daneeka snickered once and was soon immersed in problems of his own, which included Chief White Halfoat, who had been challenging him all that morning to Indian wrestle, and Yossarian, who decided right then and there to go crazy.

那是个粗鲁的玩笑,可是达尼卡大夫并没有笑,直到约萨里安又执行了一次任务之后,再次来求他要求停飞——尽管这没有任何指望。达尼卡大夫窃笑了一下,很快又沉浸到他自己的麻烦中去了,这包括怀特·哈夫特指挥官那天早上一直在向他挑战,要和他比印度式摔跤,而约萨里安则恰恰在彼时彼地决定要发疯。

2 There was only one catch and that was catch-22, which specified that

a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions.

只有一个卡子,那就是第二十二条军规,它规定:在面对真正的、紧迫的危险时考虑到自身安全是理智的思维过程。奥尔疯了,因此可以停飞。他只须提出请求;而一旦他提出请求,他就不再是疯子,就得去执行更多的飞行任务。

3 Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all the Jews ... If it’s that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places where the Germans are sending them?

我们的许多犹太人朋友和熟人都被成群地带走了。盖世太保对他们非常粗暴,用运牲口的拖车把他们运送到德伦特最大的集中营威斯特伯克,他们把所有犹太人都遣送到那里。……如果说在荷兰都这么糟,那么在德国人送他们去的那些遥远的蛮荒之地又会是什么样呢?

4 The voice that comes across is of a solitary young girl writing for herself, yet at the same time it is the cry of all those innocent victims of evil whose fate was to suffer in the Second World War. That is why Anne Frank’s diary has achieved fame as the voice of the Holocaust in which six million Jews were murdered: She speaks for all of humanity.

它传来的是一个孤独少女的声音,她为自己写作,但同时也是所有无辜受邪恶迫害者的呐喊,他们的命运就是在第二次世界大战期间受难。这就是安妮·弗兰克的日记被誉为犹太人大屠杀(其间有六百万犹太人被杀害)之声的原因:她的话代表了全人类的心声。

6 Translate the sentences into English.

1 虽然遇到了很多困难,但在他的带领下,公司产品打开了销路,总体形势也有了好转。为了表彰他的突出贡献,公司决定奖励他一套住房。( come across; for the better; in recognition of)

Though they came across many difficulties, under his leadership they successfully found a market for their products, and the overall situation was changing for the better. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the company has decided to give a flat as an award.

2 当约翰向他挑战,要跟他比击剑的时候,他感到非常尴尬,因为他自知剑术不高,不是约翰的对手。如果他接受挑战,他肯定会输;可如果不接受呢,他就是个懦夫。(challenge … to)

When John challenged him to fencing, he was very embarrassed because he knew that he was no match for John at fencing. If he took the challenge, he would surely lose; but if he didn’t, he would be a coward.

3 他昨天感冒了。我们本以为他好好睡一晚就会好起来,所以今天早上就送他去上学了。但是下午放学回家时他发起烧来,不得不卧床休息。( assume; confine to)

He caught a cold yesterday. Assuming that he would get better after a good night’s sleep, we sent him to school this morning. But later in the afternoon, he got back home with a fever and was confined to bed.

4 在过去的几年里,我得了几次重病,一直在贫困状态中生活,但是我没有放弃我的梦想。无论发生什么事,我总是坚守我的梦想,而梦想对我来说也变成了极大的支持和安慰。( abandon; in spite of; cling to)

In the past few years, I have had several severe illnesses and lived in a state of poverty, but I have never abandoned my dreams. In spite of everything I clung to my dreams, which has turned out to be a great support and comfort to me.

Unit 6

5 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 The rain had started to fall gently through the evening air as darkness descended over Sydney. Hundreds of lights illuminated Stadium Australia, and the noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalisingly in the distance. 当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸,但我的注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂在远处,很诱人。

2 I knew I would do my best, that I would run my heart out and finish the race. I felt the performer in me move in and take over. I had just two laps to run, that was all. Just two laps until the emotional and physical strain of the past two days and the last 28 years would be eclipsed by victory or failure. This race was all about survival.

我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。我只要跑两圈就行了,就两圈。跑完这两圈,过去两天以及28年来所有情感和身

体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。

3 I understand – it’s hard to get excited about a foreign sport if you didn’t grow up with it. Now I’m colliding with this same cultural barrier. The World Cup soccer tournament begins on June 9 and I will have no clue what’s going on out there on the “pitch”. It seems a good time to blow the whistle on the so-called beautiful game.)

我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来的运动,他就很难对它感兴趣。现在我正遭遇同样的文化壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要开始了,而我对球员在“球场”上干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一次大好机会。

4 Periodically a player gets an elbow in the face and goes down writhing. The clock stops while little men with black bags rush over and massage his phony-baloney injury, after which he jumps up good as new. The player who elbowed him gets something called a “yellow card”, a mild reprimand. 时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂停计时,几个提着黑包的小个子男人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说的受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站起来。那位肘击他的球员会得到一张叫做“黄牌”的东西:一种温和的惩戒。

6 Translate the sentences into English.

1 当他知道自己未能入选校队时,他哭得很伤心,毕竟他经历了几个月的艰苦训练和激烈竞争,也学会了如何熟练地准确投篮。(cry one’s heart out; go through)

这丝毫不影响人们去观看比赛。对我来说,足球的魅力到底在哪里一直是个谜。(flock; remain)

Football is an amazing sport. Despite the fact that most finals are

0-0,1-0,2-1,people keep flocking to see football games. For me, it remains a mystery what is so attracting about football.

6 Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1 I had tossed sticks for him before and knew the approximate distance they would go, depending upon their weight and my motion. This stick, however, caught a gust and, flying where the sheet wanted to go, sailed across the yard, over the fence, and, with a fine skater’s touch, glided onto the pond.

我以前也经常这样为他扔木头。根据木头的不同重量和我的动作的大小,我知道它们大概能飞多远。但这块木头赶上了一阵疾风,朝着床单想去的方向飞过了院子,越过了围栏,最后以溜冰高手般的优美动作滑进湖水里。

2 The next moment I was standing in the water and Hogahn was swimming toward me, breaking the ice with his front paws. He seemed a little startled by the intrusion of the ice in his path, but definitely in control. I went as far as I could until the pond bottom sank down under my weight and the ice water penetrated my jacket, and I stood and waited.

接下来的一瞬间我已经站在水里,霍根用前爪破冰朝我游过来。一路上冰块的侵扰似乎让他受了些惊吓,但他绝对能控制得住自己。我尽量向前趟,直到我的双脚陷进湖底的烂泥,冰冷的湖水浸透了我的夹克。我站在那儿等着。

3 It can recognize different people and make choices about what to eat or which path to take. But does this mean that an animal is capable of thinking and, if so, can it be proved? Our perceptions of animals are filtered through our own human understanding of the world and we often project human feelings and thoughts onto other creatures.

它会认人、选择食物、识别道路。但这是否意味着它们有思维能力呢?如果有的话,又如何证实呢?我们对动物的认知是经过过滤的,是建立在人类对世界的理解的基础上的,我们常常把人类的情感和思想投射到其他动物身上。

4 Many scientists in the 20th century dismissed such findings as unreliable, usually influenced by anthropomorphism, in other words, judging animals by human attributes. However, the pendulum is now swinging away from thinking of animals as machines without intelligence, and back towards Darwin’s ideas. A wide range of studies on animals suggests that the roots of intelligence are deep, widespread across the animal kingdom and highly changeable.

许多20世纪的科学家轻视这些发现,认为它们不可靠,是受了拟人说的影响,即根据人的特征来判断动物。但是,现在舆论的天平已经不再向那些认为动物像机器一样没有智慧的观点倾斜了,而是向达尔文的观点倾斜。大范围的动物研究表明:智慧之根在动物界的分布既深又广,变化多端。

1 夜贼们忙着往皮卡里扔赃物,急着想尽快开车逃走。正在这时,负责看守小区的保安发现了他们,并报了警。(just about; watch over)

2 三个士兵在密林深处艰难地行走了一整天,试图走向河的东岸,结果却发现他们只在树林里打转,离目的地仍有几十英里之遥。 ( only to find; short of) The three soldiers had walked with difficulty through the woods for a whole day, trying to navigate to the east bank of the river, only to find that they had been circling the woods and were still dozens of miles short of their destination.

3 我觉得今天早晨做动物心智报告的那位学者显然高估了动物的智慧,她甚至认为黑猩猩能够用电脑跟人进行交流。 ( go so far as to)

It seems to me that the scholar who talked about animal intelligence this morning has obviously overestimated the animal intelligence. She went so far as to suggest that chimpanzees can communicate with humans through computers.

4 作为志愿者,我们不仅仅要对前来询问或寻求帮助的人微笑服务,我们还应该具备跨文化交际的技巧,否则我们就干不好这个工作。 ( be limited to)

As volunteers, what we need to do is not just limited to smiling to those who comes to us for information and help. We must also learn skills for cross-cultural communication, without which our job cannot be satisfactory.

Unit 8

1.As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want,

who can gratify every caprice and lay their hands on almost every object of desire- for them a new pleasure, a new excitement is only an additional satiation. In vain they rush frantically round from place to place, trying to escape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion.

那些能够支配一切、肆意妄为、染指一切追求目标的人是不幸的。对于他们而言,多一种新的乐趣、多一种新的刺激只是增加一份厌腻而已。他们到处乱跑,企图靠喧闹骚动来摆脱无聊对他们的报复,但这么做是徒劳的。

2.They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the

factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of

sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony.

他们是能够得到补偿的。在办公室或工厂里长时间工作给他们带来了报酬。

这不仅是谋生的手段,也使他们对寻找快乐充满了渴望,哪怕是最简单、最朴素的快乐。但是,幸运之神偏爱的是第二种人。他们的生活是一种自然的和谐。

3.Of course, for the true coach potato, there are inherent risks. Perhaps

the greatest of these results from the lack of exercise, and is referred to by professional coach potatoes as telly belly. Some, however, see their telly belly as a mark of dedication to their leisure inactivity, and wear it proudly over the top of their trousers.

当然,对于真正的沙发土豆来说,固有的危险还是有的。也许最大的危险来自于缺乏锻炼,其后果被专业沙发土豆称为电视肚。然而,有些人则是自己的电视肚为专注于闲暇无为的标志,骄傲地把它系在裤腰上。

4.In fact, leaving the computer not only seems pointless but also risks

a threat by some rival mouse potato in brighter time zone across the

world. For time off, they usually perform extensive Internet searches or participate in online chat rooms, leaving ill-informed and badly spelt opinions around the virtual world, and generally insulting one’s intelligence.

事实上,离开电脑不仅毫无意义,而且会是你收到世界上较亮时区的鼠标土豆对手的威胁。休息时间,他们通常广泛搜索互联网或加入在线聊天室,在虚拟世界到处留下缺乏见识和拼写拙劣的意见,一般来说也是对人家智力的侮辱。

5.整天把自己埋在书本里是没有用的。要培养一些业余爱好,每隔一段时间参

加一些体育锻炼或课外活动。劳逸结合才是健康的学习习惯。( it’s no use doing sth; take up; at intervals; extracurricular activities)

It’s no use burying yourselves in books all day. You’d better take up some hobbies and take part in sports or extracurricular activities at intervals. A healthy study habit is to keep a balance between work and rest.

6.工作选对了,不但是可以维持生计的手段,还来可以帮你摆脱无聊,是你不

用担心接受了多年的高等教育之后会虚度人生。(a means of sustenance;

banish sth from one’s mind)

If your job is rightly chosen, it will not only give you a means of sustenance, but also help escape from the boredom and banish from you mind the worry about learning a meaningless life after so many years of higher education.

7.手头没有事情可做时,他常常主动帮助社区做些义务劳动。很有可能是受到

他的影响,社区里越来越多的人加入到了志愿者的行列。(at hand; it may well be that)

When he had nothing to do at hand, he used to do volunteer to do something for his community. It may well be that under his influence more and more people in the community joined in to become volunteers.

8.我以前看电视连续剧常常看到深夜,这太费时间,还影响我的健康和体型。

为了避免诱惑,我把电视机搬出了我的屋子,开始从事别的休闲活动,比如读书、弹钢琴。(risk; take up)

I used to watch TV series late into the night, which took up too much

time and risked my health and shape. To avoid temptation, I removed

the TV set from my room and took up other leisure activities such as reading and playing piano.

Unit 9

1.There can be no doubt that this sort of cooperative approach can help

many students develop personal skills which will help improve their prospects in their search for a job. One of the most well-known personality tests used by employers when interviewing candidates, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), put the extrovert/introvert dichotomy at the top of the list of personality traits it tries to analyze.

毫无疑问,这种合作学习法能帮助许多学生培养有助于改善就业前景的个人技能。公司在面试应聘者时使用的最有名的人格测试之一是“迈尔斯—布里格斯性格分析法”(简称MBTI),这种分类法吧外向/内向性格两分法置于它所分析的人格特征列表之首。

2.For students who choose to offer their talents in this way, one side

effect is to gain a wealth of experience to be added to the CV, which will not go unnoticed by future employers. But a word of warning is in order: You should remember what your priorities are.

对那些选择在这方面施展才能的学生而言,还有个意外的收获:可以把他们获取的丰富的经验写进个人简历里,而未来的雇主是不会不注意到这些经验的。不过提醒一句:你应该记住自己的首要目的是什么。

3.We set up their annual cataract eye camp, with free cataract surgery

for the local elderly or anyone that needed an eye check. We helped set up the school, cleaned it out , and turned the classroom into the surgery room. It was called the “operation theater”. The first two days were dedicated to the eyes surgery, and the rest of the week to the eye camp.

我们帮他们搭建每年一度的白内障治疗营地,为当地老年白内障患者免费做手术,或为有需求的人检查眼疾。我们帮他们改装学校,打扫环境门将教室变成外科手术室,称为“手术教室”。头两天帮忙做眼科手术,后五天在白内障营地帮忙。

4.They were a bit unorganized, which could have been improved with better

communication between the local agencies and VFP. The best part was bonding with the volunteers, and the agencies did a good job in varying our tasks… We got to know the locals. Every time I think about riding through the rice fields, being invited in for tea, it makes me smile.

他们做事不太有条理,如果地方机构和志愿者组织之间能够更好的相互沟通的话,事情就会顺利一些。最好的经历是与其他志愿者建立友情,地方机构尽量给我们分配不同任务……我们开始了解当地人。每当想起汽车穿过稻田,硬要去当地人家喝茶的情景,我都会微笑。

5.如今对中国的中学毕业生而言,上大学已经不是什么太困难的事情了,因为

现在大学的数量已经是二十年前的三倍。但是,要被一流大学录取,你还是要比同龄人有更强的竞争力才行。(times…as many…)

Nowadays in china, it’s no longer so hard for high school graduates to go to university, because there are three times as many universities as there were 20 years ago. But to be admitted by a first-class university, you still need to be more competitive than your peers.

6.你花钱参加这个项目是很值的,因为你从中获取的职业技能可以改善你的就

业前景,而且你所有的努力终将会得到回报。( acquire; prospects; pay off) It is worthwhile to spend money on this project, for the career skills you acquire in the process will help improve your prospects in your search for a job and all your efforts will eventually pay off.

7.虽然通过和这些志愿者并肩工作,我可以学会怎样与他人合作,但我得叫参

加费。我不得不承认为此我正在花更多的时间去兼职挣钱,这让我总觉的时间不够用。( work side by side with/alongside …;acknowledge; save up for)

Though I can learn teamwork by working side by side with these

volunteers, I need to pay for the participation. I have to acknowledge that I am now spending more time doing part-time jobs to save up for the project, which makes me feel a shortage of time.

8.不同的运动在身高、年龄、力量、耐力等方面对参加者有不同的要求。因此

有多少种运动就有多少种类型的运动员。想参加运动的人总能找到合适的项目。(in terms of; as many …as; no doubt)

Different sports have different requirements in terms of height, age, strength and stamina/endurance. Therefore, there are as many types of athletes as there are sports. There can be no doubt that who wants to get some exercise can find the right sport.

Unit 10

1.But unfortunately, once inside the box, it explodes, and Kugelmass

finds himself not back in the world of literature, but in an old textbook, Remedial Spanish, being chased by an irregular verb. It’s a surreal story, one among many in the novels since HG Wells wrote The Time Machine in 1895.

可不幸的是,他刚进去盒子就爆炸了。库格玛斯发现自己并未回到文学世界,而是落入一册名叫《西班牙语补习》的旧课本里,被一个不规则动词追得到处跑。这是一个超现实的梦幻故事,自1895年H.G.威尔斯写《时间机器》以来,类似的故事在血多小说中出现过。

2.Because the universe is filled with heavy objects exerting

gravitational pull, spacetime is not flat but an irregular series of curves. We know this because astronomers can see stars which should be invisible because they’re blocked by closer obstructions. Instead

of traveling in a straight line, the light from these stars bends round anything which gets in the way.

因为宇宙充满了产生万有引力的重物体,所以空间时间是不平的,而是一连串不规则的弧形。我们知道这一点,是因为天文学家能看见理应被较近的物体遮蔽的遥远的恒星。从这些恒星发出的光不是沿直线运动的,而是绕过阻碍直线运动的物体沿弧线运动。

3.Supposing it hurled a hundred million tons of rock and debris into

space. This explosion would require a bomb far greater than any that has ever exploded. But a few basic sums would show that such a blast, as well as killing every single inhabitant of the earth, would only shift the earth about a quarter of an inch out of it orbit.

假设爆炸将一吨岩石和碎渣抛入宇宙,那么这个炸弹的威力要比任何以往的炸弹都要大。但是,稍作运算就能说明,这样一场爆炸除了会把地球上的生物全部杀死之外,其充其量也只能让地球偏离轨道大约四分之一英寸。

4.As the spaceship revolves around the sun, it gathers so much speed

that it moves backwards into history. But this is nonsense, not

relatively. As Jones puts it, “Einstein said that nothing travels at more than the speed of light, not that the clocks will run the other way if you go fast enough.

宇宙飞船围绕太阳飞行,速度越来越快,最后竟然飞回到了历史之中。但是这是瞎编乱造,而不是相对论。正如琼斯所说:“爱因斯坦说没有什么比光速更快;但没有说如果你跑的够快,钟表就会倒转。”

5.他说得对。那座建筑物倒塌的样子表明承包商偷工减料,工人违规操作。但

我们需要展开调查,以便获取具体的、确凿的证据。( be right about; suggest;

carry out)

He was right about that. The way the building fell suggest that the contractor had cut corners and the workers had not followed the regular procedures. But we need to carry out an investigation to gain specific, hard evidence against them.

6.尽管这个村子里城不远,村民们想要进程也得翻山越岭走约四小时的山路。

最后他们决定挖一条随到,打通当路的那座山。(right through; block) Despite the short distance between the village and the town, it took the villagers about four hours to go over the mountains to reach the town. Finally they decided to make a tunnel that goes right through the mountain that blocked their way.

7.天气非常冷,他们只得围着炉子取暖。他们遭遇了暴风雪。暴风雪不仅冻死

了许多动物和家畜,也切断了他们的粮食供应。( soak up; fall victim to;

as well as)

So cold was the weather that they gathered around the stove to soak up warmth. They had fallen victims to the snow storm which, as well as killing many wild animals asnde livestock, had cut off their food supplies.

8.这纯粹是谎言。我知道他心里在想什么。他是要把失败的责任推到这些年来

为了这个项目日夜辛劳的那些人身上,自己却逃避失败的罪责。( nothing but;

lay the finger of blame on)

This is nothing but a lie. I know what he has in mind. He is trying to lay the fingers of blame on those who have for all these years worked day and night for the project and escape his own responsibility

How empathy unfolds 同感是怎样表露的 1 The moment Hope, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears welled up in her own eyes and she crawled off to be comforted by her mother, as though it were she who had been hurt. And 15-month-old Michael went to get his own teddy bear for his crying friend Paul; when Paul kept crying, Michael retrieved Paul's security blanket for him. Both these small acts of sympathy and caring were observed by mothers trained to record such incidents of empathy in action. The results of the study suggest that the roots of empathy can be traced to infancy. Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy. 霍普才九个月大,一见到另一个婴儿摔倒,泪水就涌了出来。她爬到妈妈身边寻求安慰,就好像是她自己摔疼了。15个月大的迈克尔把自己的玩具熊拿来给正在大哭的朋友保罗;保罗不停地大哭的时候,迈克尔替保罗捡回他的安乐毯。这些小小的表示同情和关爱的举动都是接受过记录同感行为训练的母亲们观察到的。这项研究的结果表明,同感的根源可以追溯到人的婴儿期。实际上,从出生的那天起,婴儿在听到其他婴儿哭闹的时候就会感到不安——有些人认为这种反应是同感的最初先兆。 2 Developmental psychologists have found that infants feel sympathetic distress even before they fully realize that they exist apart from other people. Even a few months after birth, infants react to a disturbance in those around them as though it were their own, crying when they see another child's tears. By one year or so, they start to realize the misery is not their own but someone else's, though they still seem confused over what to do about it. In research by Martin L. Hoffman at New York University, for example, a oneyear-old brought his own mother over to comfort a crying friend, ignoring the friend's mother, who was also in the room. This confusion is seen too when one-year-olds imitate the distress of someone else, possibly to better comprehend what they are feeling; for example, if another baby hurts her fingers, a one-year-old might put her own fingers in her mouth to see if she hurts, too. On seeing his mother cry, one baby wiped his own eyes, though they had no tears. 成长心理学家发现,甚至在充分意识到自己是独立于其他人而存在之前,婴儿就感受到了同情的苦恼。甚至在出生后几个月,婴儿就会对周围人的烦躁不安做出反应,就好像他们自己的烦躁不安一样,看到别的孩子哭也跟着哭。到了一岁左右,他们开始意识到痛苦不是他们的,而是别人的,可是他们对这样的事情似乎还是感到不知所措。例如,在纽约大学的马丁·L.霍夫曼所做的一项研究中,一个一岁的孩子把自己的妈妈拉过来安慰哭闹的朋友,却忽视了同在一室的朋友的妈妈。这样的困惑在其他一岁大的孩子身上也能看到,他们模仿别的孩子的痛苦,也许是为了更好地理解他们的感受。例如,如果别的婴儿伤了手指,一个一岁大的孩子就会把自己的手指放进嘴里,看看自己是否也感觉到痛。看到自己的妈妈哭,婴儿即使没有眼泪,也会擦拭自己的眼睛。 3 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener's theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself. He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can

第一单元 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人,这话可能是真的。但是,20 世纪60 年代有一件事人人都记得,那就是:上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。20 世纪60 年代,加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而,加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966 年,罗纳德·里根竞选加州州长,他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、持不同意见的少数人。在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国,巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟,发动了一场大罢工,最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。 20 世纪60 年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方,上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味,初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才得以阅读你的第一本禁书,看你的第一部独立影人电影,或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米·亨德里克斯或伦尼·布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光,你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了?大学怎么了?现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50%的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标,(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。不过,大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今,大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20 世纪60 年代大学生发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛,如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化促进会最近做了一项调查,研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是:课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式,以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段,是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会,上大学本身不再是目的,它给你提供一个机会,让你暂时想象一下:你能够改变世界。童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了,大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能是经济方面的。在一个没有保障的世界里,现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户,因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今,大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友嘛,没问题,我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。 “在那黎明时分活着是至福, 但年轻就等于身在天堂!” 华兹华斯的诗句说的可能是法国大革命,但是对于20 世纪60 年代的大学生而言,这样的诗句同样真实生动。可是为什么对于如今的大学生来说,它们怎么就不真实了呢? Active reading (2) 后一切的一代 弗兰克·托马斯是普林斯顿大学二年级学生,主修文学理论专业。他希望当人权律师。我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征,或了解美国大学是如何在变化的。这门

为自己而写 从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这—一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。他救着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—·本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。 我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年,不少日子过去了,还真率出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。我把作文题带回家,——直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。… 这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作—团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那…切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分,再没时间为弗利格尔先生写——篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午,我别无选择,只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文,他把别人的都发了,·就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命—放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训,却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文,敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 “好了,孩子们,”他说。“我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是:吃意大利细面条的艺术。” 于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是,全班同学都在听着他念,而且听得很专心。有人笑出声来,接着全班都笑了,不是轻蔑嘲弄,而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次,好抑制他那丝拘谨的微笑。我尽力不流露出得意的心情,但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑,我真是心花怒放。就在十——年级,可谓是最后的时刻,我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的——刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道:“瞧,孩子们,这就是小品文,懂了没有。这才是一知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓,知道了没有。祝贺你,贝克先生。”他这番话使我沉浸 在十全十美的幸福之中

《综合英语教程》第二册课文、扩展阅读课文译文 Unit 1 Text 等候的人们 我坐在一个机场,观察着等候所爱之人到达或离开前最后一刻的人们。他们有的不安地来回走着,有的互相凝视着,有的拉着对方的手。此时的感情是强烈的。 一位讲西班牙语的女士正来回转圈地跑着,想要将全家人集中起来道别。她的嗓门很高。当登机前的最后时刻到来时,她用双臂搂着儿子,似乎这一紧紧的拥抱能保佑他将来平安地归来。 在我候机坐位旁的栏杆边站着一位祖母和她的孙子,该来接他们的人还没到。他们旁边有两位女士,互相之间显然没有关系,但她们的眼光都象扫视着大海的探照灯一样朝通道口仔细地搜索着。一位怀抱婴儿的母亲正与丈夫吻别。泪水打湿了她的面颊。这时刻十分令人动情。 在第13号出口处,抵达者们刚刚进站。“我看见她了,她在那儿。”以同样感人的激情,这些抵达者融入了庞杂的人群,仿佛他们是这人群中失而复得的一个组成部分。泪水、笑容,和由衷的快乐洋溢在久别重逢的欢声笑语中。 我坐着边翻书边等着我的登机时刻,感到有点孤独,因为亲人与我的时间不配;而我要去见的人,我的女儿,却在我旅程的另一端。 我在回想往日的离别和重逢。忆起我看见女儿,就是我现在要去见的女儿,正从那狭窄的通道走过来,肩上背着背包,怀里抱着塞得满满的行囊,带着的耳机让她无暇顾及身旁川流不息的人群。她当时上大学一年级,11月回家度假——8月份以来第一次回家。我紧紧地拥抱着她,似乎我曾失去过她。 今天我乘坐的航班晚点两小时。手里的书今天读起来没劲,不如观看眼前这熙来人往的人群。一个5岁左右的男孩第一次见到他的祖父。他一点点往上看,半天才看到了对成人来说并不算高的一位男人的脸。一高一矮的两人脸上都放出了喜悦的光芒,我不知道人们如何能用语言和胶卷来捕捉这一时刻。 当我的航班终于呼叫登机时,我收起书本和行李。既然无人相送,我就没有回头看看来时的方向,而是在想上班的丈夫此刻极想知道我是否已起飞,在另一端的女儿也正惦记着同一件事。 登机时,我回想起另一种离别和重逢。有一次我新婚不久,91岁的祖父去世了。我们的关系一直很密切,那天傍晚,我参加完他的葬礼乘飞机返回,一边离开机场一边哭着。我们刚刚结婚一年的丈夫等候在出站口,把我拥抱在怀中。满脸的泪水招来了大家对我的关注,但我并不在乎。不管怎么说,我内心的那种感受在机场没有什么不合时宜的。 生命始终都需要这般关注。我祝愿所有旅行的人们归来时都能看到有人在等候迎接他们。我也祝愿他们出发前有人去送行。我想到自己的祖父并认识到,如果死亡就像这样,一次旅行而已,那么,我就不会害怕。 (吕睿中译,胡一宁审校) Read more 重要之事
