The American Dream means different things to different people. But for many, particularly immigrants, it means the opportunity to make a

better life for themselves. For them the dream is that talent and hard

work can take you from log cabin to White House. Tony Trivisonno did not

rise quite so high, yet he managed to make his own dream come true.

美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义。但对许多人，尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。对于他们，美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬到那么高，但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

1 He came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin.

他来自意大利罗马以南某地一个满地石子的农庄。他什么时候怎么到美国的，我不清楚。不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。他身高五英尺七、八左右，人很瘦。

2 "I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken

English.

“我割你的草坪，”他说。他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

3 I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your

lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener.

我问他叫什么名字。“托尼·特里韦索诺，”他回答说，“我割你的草坪。”我对托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。

4 "I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my

house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I

turn away a person who had come to me for help?

“我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。我走进屋子，心里有点不快。没错，眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢？

5 When I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weeded, and the walks swept. I asked my wife what had happened. 等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。我便问太太是怎么回事。

6 "A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard,"

she answered. "I assumed you had hired him."

“有个人把割草机从汽车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说，“我还以为是你雇他来的。”

7 I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange

that he had not asked for pay.

我就把前晚的事跟她说了。我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。

8 The next two days were busy, and I forgot about Tony. We were trying

to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plants.

But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the

garage. I complimented him on the work he had done.

接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人回厂里来。但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在汽车库后面看到了托尼。我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

9 "I mow your lawn," he said.

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

10 I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day

Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said

he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or

things to fix.

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天清扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。

11 Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. "Mr. Craw, snow pretty

soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter come, you give me job

clearing snow at the factory."

夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。“克罗先生，快下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说，“等冬天到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。”

12 Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course,

Tony got his job at the factory.

啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢？自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

13 The months passed. I asked the personnel department for a report.

They said Tony was a very good worker.

几个月过去了。我让人事部门送上一份报告。他们说托尼干得挺棒。

14 One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want

to be 'prentice," he said.

一天我在汽车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。“我想学徒，”他说。

15 We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained laborers. But I

doubted whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprints and micrometers

or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down?

我们有个挺不错的培训工人的徒工学校。可我怀疑托尼是否有能力学会看图纸、用千分尺，是否胜任做精密加工工作。尽管如此，可我怎么能拒绝他呢？

16 Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later, I got

a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder. He had learned to

read the millionths of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding

wheel with an instrument set with a diamond. My wife and I were delighted

with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story.

托尼减了薪水当了徒工。几个月之后，我收到报告，他已从徒工学校毕业，成了熟练磨工。他学会了在千分尺上辨识一百万分之一英寸，会用镶嵌着金刚石的工具制作砂轮。我和太太都挺高兴，觉得他的事总算有了个令人满意的结局。

17 A year or two passed, and again I found Tony in his usual waiting

place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what he wanted.

一两年过去了，我在托尼惯常等我的地方又看到了他。我们聊起了他的工作，接着我问他有什么要求。

18 "Mr. Craw," he said, "I like a buy a house." On the edge of town, he

had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.

“克罗先生，”他说，“我想买房。”在小镇边上，他看到有房出售，完全是幢破房。

19 I called on a banker friend. "Do you ever loan money on character?"

I asked. "No," he said. "We can't afford to. No sale."

我去见一位当银行家的朋友。“人品贷款你干不干？”我问。“不干，”他说，“我们承担不起。没门。”

20 "Now, wait a minute," I replied. "Here is a hard-working man, a man

of character, I can promise you that. He's got a good job. You're not

getting a damn thing from your lot. It will stay there for years. At least

he will pay your interest."

“哎，等等，”我应道，“有个人干活勤勉，人品端正，这一点我担保。他有个好工作。眼下，你从你那块地上一分钱也得不到。那块地空在那儿要好多年呢。至少他会付你利息嘛。”

21 Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for $2,000 and gave Tony

the house with no down payment. Tony was delighted. From then on, it was

interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place ─a

broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing ─Tony would gather

and take home.

那位银行家勉强开了两千美金抵押贷款，没要托尼首付就把房子给了他。托尼乐不可支。从那以后，只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物，坏了的屏风啦，五金器具啦，包装纸板啦，托尼都要收起来拿回家，看他这个样子真是有意思。

22 After about two years, I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot. He

seemed to stand a little straighter. He was heavier. He had a look of

confidence.

约摸过了两年，我在我们见面的老地方又看到了托尼。他身子似乎挺直了些，人也见胖了，样子挺自信。

23 "Mr. Craw, I sell my house!" he said with pride. "I got $8,000."

“克罗先生，我卖房子！”他得意地说。“我得了八千美金。”

24 I was amazed. "But, Tony, where are you going to live without a

house?"

我非常吃惊。“可是，托尼，没了房子你住哪儿呢？”

25 "Mr. Craw, I buy a farm."

“克罗先生，我买农庄。”

26 We sat down and talked. Tony told me that to own a farm was his

dream. He loved the tomatoes and peppers and all the other vegetables

important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and

daughter back in Italy. He had hunted around the edge of town until he

found a small, abandoned piece of property with a house and shed. Now he

was moving his family to his farm.

我们坐下聊了起来。托尼告诉我说，拥有一个农庄是他的梦想。他喜欢番茄、辣椒以及意大利菜肴中相当重要的其它各种蔬菜。他把在意大利的妻子和儿子女儿都接来了。他在小镇周边到处找，终于找到一处没人要的一小块地产，有一幢房，还有间小棚。他正在把家搬到农庄去。

27 Sometime later, Tony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed.

He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuaded his

childhood friend to move to America. Tony was sponsoring him. With an

amused look in his eye, he told me that when they approached the little

farm he now operated, his friend stood in amazement and said, "Tony, you

are a millionaire!"

又过了一些时候，在一个星期日的下午托尼来了，他穿戴得整整齐齐。和他一起来的还有另一位意大利人。他告诉我，他说服了儿时的伙伴前来美国。托尼为他作经济担保。他眼里露出顽皮的神情，对我说，他俩来到他经营的小农庄时，他的朋友惊奇地站住说，“托尼，你是个百万富翁啦！”

28 Then, during the war, a message came from my company. Tony had

passed away.

后来，在战争期间，公司里传出了一个消息。托尼去世了。

29 I asked our people to check on his family and see that everything

was properly handled. They found the farm green with vegetables, the

little house livable and homey. There was a tractor and a good car in the

yard. The children were educated and working, and Tony didn't owe a cent.

我让公司的人去他家看看，确保各项事宜都得到妥善安置。他们看到农场上长着绿油油的蔬菜，小屋布置得舒适温馨，院子里有一辆拖拉机，还有一辆不错的汽车。孩子受过教育，都工作了，托尼身前没有分文欠债。

\

30 After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony's career.

He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and

as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.

托尼去世后，我一直想着他的经历。他的形象在我心目中越来越高大。最后，我觉得他就和美国那些最大的实业家一样高大、自豪。

31 They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same

values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism,

self-respect and, above all, integrity.

他们都通过同样的途径，本着同样的价值观和原则获得了成功：远见、执着、自制、乐观、自尊，以及最重要的，正直。

32 Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tony's affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists' affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.

托尼不是从最低一级阶梯往上爬的，他是从地下室往上爬的。托尼的事业很小，那些最大的实业家的事业很大。但究其实，两者的资产负债表完全一样。惟一的不同是你把小数点点在什么地方。

33 Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn't find it ─he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.

托尼·特里韦索诺来到美国寻求美国梦。但他没有找到什么美国梦——他为自己创造了一个美国梦。他的全部拥有是一天宝贵的二十四小时，而他一刻也没有浪费。

攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了强力的抵抗。师长（DIVISION COMMANDER）命令我们营（BATTALION）绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而，要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地（MARSHLAND）。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。我们在夜幕掩盖下出发，不顾困难，奋勇向前。幸运的是，夜间温度突然下降到摄氏零下20度，烂泥地都结上了冰。由于这寒冷的天气，我们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。 The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered. Unit 2 汽车在二十世纪改变了世界，尤其是在美国和其他工业国家。汽车确实对我们大有用处，但也带来了一些危害，比如声音污染、空气污染以及公路死亡事故。据报导汽车事故被列为全世界导致死伤的主要原因之一。可庆幸的是，现代发明家们正在重新发明汽车。新的推进系统（PROPULSION SYSTEM）、燃料、设计以及制造汽车的手段在过去的十年中得到迅速发展。例如，通过使用卫星辅助的全球定位系统，汽车里的计算机能给汽车精确定位；随着遥感器的应用，智能汽车能排除不少汽车事故。 Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century, particularly in the United States and other industrialized nations. They are indeed of great use to us, but they have brought some hazards as well, such as noise and air pollution, and highway fatalities. It is reported that automobile accidents rank among the leading causes of death and injury throughout the world. Fortunately modern innovators are reinventing the automobile. New propulsion systems, fuels, designs, and means of manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade. For example, by using the satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS), a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position, and with the application of sensors, smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.

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

Unit1 1, There has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up! you are beginning to be anxious because there has been no progress of the war in such a long quiet period… 2,we must "...meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same." We are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster and we must treat them as the same thing taking different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable. 3,never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense Never give in unless we are convinced that it is honorable and sensible for us to do so. 4,Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. Britain, in other nations’ eyes, was completely wiped out/conquered. 5,we have only to persevere to conquer. … we have no choice but to hold on until victory comes. Unit2 1, The phrase "personal space" has a quaint, seventies ring to it The phrase “personal space” sounds old-fashioned and reminds one of the seventies…2, T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, much less). … I have suspected that maybe the cause (of the space invasion) is the season: summer may either make people want to be closer to each other or more likely, to keep a distance between each other. 3, The logistics of it vary according to geography people in different regions are given different size of personal space. 4, individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes. …individuals, as usual, occupy the booths and seats which are desi gned for four people. 5,In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly's wings in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space. Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions, which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space. Unit3 1,Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is the communications modal equivalent of international waters As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet, communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through the international waterways. 2,But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people form each other and fragments society further as a result

Twelve years at school and three years at uni versity, teachers banging on about opport un ities in the big wide world bey ond our sheltered life as stude nts, and what do I find? 依我看，现实生活与人们想象的不一样。我们上了12年的中、小学，又上了3年的大学， 这期间老师们一直在没完没了地谈论在安宁的学生生活之外那个广阔天地里的各种机会，可 我遇到的又是什么呢？ Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, whe n will they grow up?), but mostly with mon ey. It's just so expe nsive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wan ts to deduct in come tax, the bank man ager wants repayments on my student loan, the Iandlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, ask ing if rm in terested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60. 无论我怎么想保持心情愉快，麻烦事总是接踵而来：有时是跟人争吵(尤其是跟男孩，天哪！他们什么 时候才能长大？)，但通常是为钱发愁。这个地方什么东西都很贵！人人 都想从我身上拿点钱去：国税局要收个人所得税，银行经理要我偿清学生贷款，房东催我 交房租、燃气费、水费、电费，手机账单也不断地寄来。所有这些还没算上吃饭的钱。更 可气的是，不知从哪里冒出一个自作聪明的家伙冷不丁地给我打电话，问我要不要买养老金。 照这样下去，我连今年都活不过去了，更别提活到60岁领养老金了。 汉译英 我认为，选修第二专业并不适合每一位本科生。我大学本科主修英语专业，大一时就开始辅修经济学了。无疑，我是班里最用功的学生。我竭尽全力想同时达到两个不同专业的 要求，但还是有不及格的时候。因为经济学需要良好的数学基础，我不得不花大量时间钻 研数学，因而忽略了英语学习。 If you ask me, tak ing a sec ond major isn't good for every un dergraduate. In my freshma n year as an En glish major, I took economics as my minor. By all odds, I was the most hardwork ing stude nt in my class. But try as I might to meet the requireme nts of the two differe nt subjects, I still could n't do well eno ugh to pass all the exams. Given that the study of econo mics required a good comma nd of mathematics, I had to spe nd so much time on math that I n eglected my En glish major. 第二学期，《英国文学》及《宏观经济学》两门课不及格给我敲响了警钟，这可是我一生中第一次考 试不及格，这大大打击了我的自信心。虽然我不是一个容易向命运低头的人， 在暑假结束的时候，我还是决定放弃经济学，以免两个专业都难以完成。当我只需修一个 专业的时候，一切似乎又回到了正轨。(if you ask me; odds; try as …might; sap on e's con fide nee; give n that; bow to fate;come to a close; for fear that; now that) Faili ng En glish Literature and Macroec onomics in the sec ond semester soun ded the alarm for me. This was the first time I did not pass a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my con fide nee. Although I was n ot a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up econo mics for fear that I would fail in both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to,everything seemed to be on the right track again. Uint2 In dubitably the vast majority of books overlap one ano ther. Few in deed are those which give the impressi on of orig in ality, either in style or in content. Rare are the unique books -less tha n 50, perhaps, out of the whole storehouse of literature .In one of his recent auto-biographical no vels, Blaise Cendrars points out that R my de GSurmont, because of his knowledge and awareness of this repetitive quality in books, was able to select and read all that is worthwhile in the entire realm of literature.Cendrars himself —who would suspect it? —is a prodigious reader. He reads most authors.Not only that, but when he likes an author he reads every last book the man has written, as well as his letters and all the books that have been written about him. In our day his case is almost un paralleled, I imagi ne.For, not only has he read widely and deeply, but he has himself written a great many books. All on the side, as it were. For, if he is anything, Cendrars, he is a man of action, an adventurer and explorer,a man who has known how to ——waste II his time
