1. YOUTH青春

Samuel Ullman/塞缪尔·厄尔曼

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a

tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.

Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是红润的脸颊和嘴唇以及灵巧的腿脚，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的情感；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生反而不如六旬男子多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

2. The Life I Desired

我所追求的生活

William Somerset Maugham/威廉.萨姆塞特.毛姆

That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vast sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous shoals if I could only have change and the excitement of unforeseen.

这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程．这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西．我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。只要生活中还能有变迁———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的海滩。

3. Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat (an excerpt)

热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水(节选)

May 13, 1940

Winston Churchill/温斯顿?邱吉尔

In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil,

tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy?

I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the

strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs --Victory in spite of all terrors -- Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

在这危急存亡之际，如果我今天没有向下院做长篇演说，我希望能够得到你们的宽恕。我还希望，因为这次政府改组而受到影响的任何朋友和同事，或者以前的同事，会对礼节上的不周之处予以充分谅解，这种礼节上的欠缺，到目前为止是在所难免的。正如我曾对参加本届政府的成员所说的那样，我要向下院说：“我没什么可以奉献，有的．只是热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。”摆在我们面前的，是一场极为痛苦的严峻的考验。在我们面前，有许多许多漫长的斗争和苦难的岁月。你们问：我们的政策是什么?我要说，我们的政策就是用我们全部能力，用上帝所给予我们的全部力量，在海上、陆地和空中进行战争，同一个在人类黑暗悲惨的罪恶史上所从未有过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。这就是我们的政策。你们问：我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来回答：胜利——不惜一切代价，去赢得胜利；无论多么可怕，也要赢得胜利，无论道路多么遥远和艰难，也要赢得胜利。因为没有胜利，就不能生存。大家必须认识到这一点：没有胜利，就没有英帝国的存在，就没有英帝国所代表的一切，就没有促使人类朝着自己目标奋勇前进这一世代相因的强烈欲望和动力。但是当我挑起这个担子的时候，我是心情愉快、满怀希望的。我深信，人们不会听佳我们的事业遭受失败。此时此刻，我觉得我有权利要求大家的支持，我要说：“来吧，让我们同心协力，一道前进。”

4. On Knowledge

W. F. Markwick and W. A. Smith

There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom, but without the one the other cannot be gained. We cannot have a harvest of wheat without seed and skill of cultivation.1 Knowledge is the root of wisdom; wisdom is the ripe fruit of knowledge. The love of knowledge has been characteristic2 of most great men. They not only loved knowledge but they were willing to work hard to attain it. When a man wins

succ ess, people say, “He is a genius3.” But the real cause for his success was that the love of knowledge led to4 the effort to obtain it.

Useful knowledge is the knowledge which is of benefit to5 ourselves and to others, and that is the most important which is the most useful. It is the belief of many people that knowledge is better than riches,6 and that its possession7 brings more comfort to the owner than anything else.

The power of intellectual knowledge,8 without the owner of moral principle,9 often tends to10 evil. Character is the criterion11 of knowledge. Not what a man has,12 but what he is,13 is the question. The quality of soul is more than14 the quantity of information.15 If we have noble purpose, our intellectual attainments16 will naturally turn to17 the loftiest uses.

Notes

1. cultivation n.: tilling. 种植。

2. characteristic adj.: indicating the character of. 表明…的特性。

3. genius n.: a person with uncommon intellectual faculties. 天才。

4. led to: caused. 引起；导致。

5. of benefit to: good for. 有利于；有益于。

6. riches n.: wealth. 财富。

7. possession n.: holding. 保有。

8. intellectual knowledge: knowledge. 智识。

9. moral principle: morality. 道德。

10. tend to: lead to. 导致。

11. criterion n.: standard of judgment. 判断的标准。

12. what a man has: a man’s knowledge. 一个人的学识。

13. what he is: his character. 他的品格。

14. more than: more important than. 较…重要。

15. information n.: knowledge. 知识；见闻。

16. attainments n.: achievements. 造诣。

17. turn to: result in. 终归。

5. A Real Friend真正的朋友

A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Real Friendship. When you're

down, and the world seems dark and empty, your real friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your real friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your real friend follows; if you lose your way, your real friend guides you and cheers you on. Your real friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You have the real friend all your life.

别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起。有时候在生活中，你会找到一个特别的朋友; 他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活。他会把你逗得开怀大笑；他会让你相信人间有真情。他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。这就是真正的友谊。当你失意，当世界变得黯淡与空虚，你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。你转身走开时，真正的朋友会紧紧相随，你迷失方向时，真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。如果你找到了这样的朋友，你会快乐，觉得人生完整，因为你无需再忧虑。你一生都拥有这个真正的朋友。

1. No Pains, No Gains The height which great men reach and keep is not attained by a sudden flight. Most of us feel envious of the famous and successful people. We do not understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks. In our misconception, we think that people are prosperous because they are especially gifted or that they are “just lucky”. All these have taken root in our stubborn minds, and we refuse to believe that most great men have a mind which is the same as, or perhaps even simpler and duller than ours. Yet, their triumphs are great. Why? Because they are apt to fight difficulties with perseverance and without fatigue, undergo sufferings without minding the wounds; they realize that hardships form the road which they must pass through before reaching their destination. Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life. 2. Don’t Give Up If we would ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere. If we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we come across anything difficult. We will find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will be for us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly. But there are some among us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, “I can’t do this.” They never will if they feel so. “I can’t” never does anything worthwhile; but “I’ll try” accomplishes wonders. Let us remember that we will meet with difficulties all through life. They are in the pathway of everyone. If we will only try and keep trying, we will be sure to conquer and overcome every difficulty we meet. If we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and

口语小短文

自信的重要性： It’s generally accepted that confidence plays a very vital role in one’s life. But do you really know what dose self-confidence mean? Well, it means that you have strong belief that you can do things and you will succeed in the end. If you want to do something well, you must have faith in yourself. Just like the old saying goes, confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success. Otherwise, you may hardly to do anything right. Some people love to complain how incapable they are or how difficult their tasks are, they never think about the problem in themselves, which is lack of confidence. If they fail, they will refuse to have another try. Then they will never ever have the chance to overcome difficulties. 人们普遍认为，自信在个人的生活中扮演着重要的角色。但你知道“自信”指的究竟是什么吗？它意味着你非常相信自己能把事情做好。如果你想做好某事，那么你就得对自己有信心。俗话说得好：自信是通向成功之路的第一步。否则，你很难成功。有些人很喜欢抱怨自己是多么的无能；或者他们的任务是多么的艰难。这些都是缺乏自信的表现。如果他们失败了，就拒绝再试一次。如此，他们便失去了克服困难的机会。 There are several reasons why people feel no confidence about themselves when they meet the challenges. First of all, they underestimate themselves. Second, they tend to overestimate the problems that in front of them. Last but not least, they are afraid of losing their face or making terrible mistakes if they fail. 当人们面对挑战的时候之所以会不自信，有如下的几个原因。首先，他们低估了自己的能力；其次，又高估了所面对的困难。最后一点，他们害怕丢脸或是被他人嘲笑，如果他们真的失败了的话。 There are many ways for us to build up self-confidence. Emerson used to say: “Self-trust is the first secret of success.”Before we do something, we should make full preparations and try to encourage ourselves that we will success. If we fail, don’t be afraid, try again; or turn to others for help. If we can overcome the adversities this time, then we will gain some confidence. Step by step, we would become more and more confident. We should have a right attitude toward our abilities and should never look down upon ouurselves. The chief thing to remember is: failure is the mother of success. 塑造信心有很多种方式。艾默生曾经说过：“自信是成功的第一秘诀”。在我们做事情之前，先做好充分准备并尽量鼓励自己，相信自己会成功。如果我们失败了，也别害怕，再试一次；或者像他人求助。如果这一次我们能够克服困难，那么，我们的自信心就会增加。一步一步的，就会变得越来越自信。对自己的能力，也应该有个正确的态度，不要低估自己的能力。最需谨记的是：失败是成功之母。 遵守诺言的重要性： When we judge a person, we are likely to think about whether he or she is keeping promises, the person who always keeps his promises is popular, people around him are willing to make friends with him. So keeping promises is very important, we should never break our promises, or we will be abandoned by others. First, we should never late for meeting or date. When we make a deal with others to meet at some places, we shall be there in time or earlier, it is rude to be late and let others wait for a long time. I hate my friends late for meeting, though they have reasons, they could have been here in advance. Second, we’d better think twice before making a promise, if we promise people, it means we have ability to finish it, people are hold great hope on us, if we fail, how disappoint it is. So we should measure ourselves before we making a promise.

I’m supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. W: Fine, please tell her I’ll be there at 4:00. And Dr. Ellis, one more thi ng, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn’t give me directions to your office. M: Well, I’m in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I’ll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I’ll get it when I return. W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. Ellis. M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson. Conversation 2: W: How are things going, Roald? M: Not bad, Jane. I’m involved in several projects and it’s a long working day. But I’m used to that so it doesn’t bother me too much. W: I heard you have moved to a new house in the suburb. How do you like commuting to London every day? Don’t you find it a string? M: It was terrible at first, especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6:30 train. But it’s bearable now that I’ m used to it. W: Don’t you think it’s an awful waste of time? I couldn’t bear to spend three hours sitting in a train every day. M: I used to feel the same as you. But now I quite enjoy it. W: How do you pass the time? Do you bring some work with you to do on the train? M: Ah, that’s a good question. In the morning, I just sit in comfort and read the papers to catch up with the news. On the way home at night, I relax with a good book or chat with friends or even have a game of bridge. W: I suppose you know lots of people on the train now. M: Yes, I bumped into someone I know on the platform every day. Last week I came across a couple of old school friends and we spend the entire journey in the bar. W: It sounds like a good club. You never know. I may join it too.
