音乐与开车

安迪·埃利斯

1 尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息,但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明,听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力,而且心理学家也提醒人们,不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的,尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。

2 音乐有两个极端,任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶,而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐,会使司机过分放松,以至于丧失安全意识,陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。

3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全,它委托搞了一个项目,研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现,17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现,这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。

4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响,会使人易怒好斗,开起车来就会冲劲十足,这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。

5 在试验中,给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐,他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车,但的确发现自己换档更快了,加速也快了,刹车更急了。若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲,他们承认经常感到自己走神,他们在高速公路上长途开车时,至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。

6 这些自愿参试的司机(有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照)所发表的意见非常说明问题。十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会,“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。”

7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZ Top乐队最流行的曲子,他说,“我一直在快速行驶,扯着嗓门唱歌,没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。”

8 还有些人说:“我陷入了深思”…… “人的感觉会变得麻木” …… “听不见别的汽车是个问题”,“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。”

9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐,如肖邦的音乐,会刺激人的大脑,使思维模式发生变化,激发阿尔法脑波,使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处,但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利?费希尔教授提醒人们说:“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力,甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态,那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。”

10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听,但是当交通状况糟糕时,或是交通拥挤时,这种音乐会分散你的注意力。”

11 然而,音乐也有其好的一面,正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特?韦斯特所指出的那样:“如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶,那么反过来也是有道理的。

精心选择的曲子会有助于我们安全行驶,尤其是对高风险的群体。例如,要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼陀瓦尼的音乐,他们很可能会把速度放慢。但可悲的是,我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。”

12 不仅某种音乐会影响行驶安全,我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明,小的交通事故中,大约有40%是由于人们在更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的!

13 无论我们对音乐的品位如何,无论我们的开车风格如何,看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产一种汽车智能系统, 简称为ARIADNE(实时智能驾驶助理)的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置,它利用雷达技术,一旦面临撞车危险,雷达会使车内的电话响起,警告司机注意。

14 如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围,ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。随着两车之间的距离不断缩短,这种震荡会越来越强烈,要是司机对这种警告仍然无动于衷的话,发动机的运转就会中断,危险警告灯就亮起来。

15 因此千万要记住:即便音乐是爱的食物,也要悠着点,尤其是在你开车的时候,这样我们大家就可以继续“播放”下去。

After-Class Reading Songs of Love 参考译文

爱心之歌

1 从很多方面来说,约翰?贝尔茨可称得上是世界上最成功的歌曲作家。他写的每一首歌保证大受欢迎——不是指在流行音乐排行榜上,而是在孩子的心中。原因是贝尔茨的每一首歌都是写给一位身患重病的孩子。他的歌总是能让孩子们露出笑容并振作精神。他们一遍遍地播放这些歌。这对于贝尔茨来说要比高居流行音乐排行榜有意义得多。

2 三十八岁的贝尔茨是一个非营利组织“爱心之歌”的创始人和主席。这个组织由音乐家、歌曲作家、歌手和音响师自愿联合组成,创作反映孩子个性的独特而欢快的歌曲。贝尔茨掌管着这一组织,并在纽约市昆斯区父母家的地下室建立了一个小型的录音室。

3 贝尔茨相信音乐有治疗效果。当一个成年人聆听一首自己喜爱的歌曲时,他会心情舒畅;那么当一个小孩听到一首专门为自己谱写的歌曲时,结果也会非常令人振奋。“爱心之歌”自1996年组建以来,为孩子们谱写、录音并发送了780首鼓舞人心的歌曲,这一切都是免费进行的。那些得到歌曲的孩子们,下至婴儿,上至青少年,全都处于生命的绝境,如有的身患癌症、有的要肾透析治疗、有的在等待器官移植等。他们大部分是美国60家医院的病人,那里的专家们定期要贝尔茨的歌,他们利用玩乐对儿童进行心理治疗。

4 一些著名的音乐家,在听说了“爱心之歌”后,纷纷援助这个项目。有170位专业音乐人奉献才艺,其中有歌手洛妮?斯佩克特、摇滚歌星罗杰?多尔特里,以及百老汇音乐剧《泰坦尼克号》的全体演员。超级流行歌星比尔?乔尔还为一个

孩子写的歌做口头介绍。当然,大部分表演者尚未出名。纽约市的警察和一所中学的合唱团也录制过一些歌曲。

5 “爱心之歌”的音乐风格迥异,有用脚尖击拍的欢快流行音乐、乡村音乐还有轻柔的歌谣和说唱乐。因为贝尔茨出生在巴西,会说西班牙语和葡萄牙语,有时他就用这两种语言录制歌曲。在为一个孩子谱写歌曲之前,家长或护士要填写一张表,告知有关该小孩的兴趣、爱好、家庭、宠物及其他喜爱的东西。然后贝尔茨将这张表交给已选定的歌曲家,他会将表中所列的这些细节编写到歌曲中。孩子的名字在整首歌中会多次提到。歌曲作者还会找歌手演唱这首歌,而且有可能的话,他们会用自己的设备录制,或者请当地愿意赞助的录音棚予以录制。结果表明,这是使孩子们感觉好的良方。当然,歌中是决不会提及小孩的病情的。

6 贝尔茨有许多活页夹,放满了孩子和家长们的感谢信,信中描述了孩子第一次听到专门为他们创作的歌曲时的反应。这样的信令贝尔茨感到欣慰,因为这正是他所期待的。他创建“爱心之歌”是为纪念他的孪生兄弟胡里奥,一位音乐家、歌手和歌曲作家。在与精神疾病进行过一番抗争后,胡里奥于24岁自杀,他在死前的两个月曾写过一首伤感的歌谣,其中一句歌词为“要驱走恐惧,我们真正需要的是爱心之歌。”

7 贝尔茨没有结婚,没有自己的孩子,他原先从未想过会为孩子们写歌。他说,有一天他走在街上,脑海里忽然出现了这个念头,并且马上感到自己会成功。他回家后打电话给田纳西州孟菲斯的圣裘德儿童研究医院,说他想为病重的孩子们写歌,但院方说他们不能公开病人的个人资料。不过他们说确有六张用于宣传的儿童照片,照片上附有少量的个人资料。如果贝尔茨觉得有用的话,他们同意将这些照片寄给他。贝尔茨收到了照片并在四天内写了六首歌。院方收到这些歌曲后,打电话高度赞扬了他。不久之后,一位身患癌症的小女孩的母亲打来电话向他致谢,随后女孩本人也打电话感谢他。就在这时,他明白了这就是他的职业。

8 如今,贝尔茨与他的组织成员每月创作30至40首歌曲。不幸的是,有时歌曲还没送到,孩子已去世了,但孩子的父母仍然告诉他,此歌在悼念孩子的过程中是一种安慰。

9 与大多数慈善事业一样,“爱心之歌”几乎一直缺少资金。为了节约开支,贝尔茨搬回家与退休的父母同住,他们也支持他的事业。他的长远目标是为所有年龄段的病人送上“爱心之歌”,包括住在养老院的老人和精神病患者。贝尔茨想方设法筹钱,他曾卖掉一张唱片及一盘磁带,上面录有21首儿童慈善歌曲,第22首歌便是他兄弟胡里奥自编自唱的“爱心之歌”。贝尔茨想下次出唱片时说服史蒂维?旺德或保罗?麦卡特尼演唱“爱心之歌”,这样就能保证基金会有一笔更可观的销售收入。同时,贝尔茨本人一直都是“爱心之歌”最多产的歌曲作家,确保了为病重的孩子写歌的所有要求都得到满足。

MOON RIVER

Moon River, wider than a mile,

I’m crossing you in style some day.

You dream maker; you heart breaker,

Wherever you’re going, I’m going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world,

There’s such a lot o f world to see.

We’re after the same rainbow’s end,

Waiting round the bend.

My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me.

Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down.

That you found a girl and you're married now.

I heard that your dreams came true.

Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.

I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded,

That for me, it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you.

I wish nothing but the best for you too.

Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said:-

"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead" Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

You know how the time flies.

Only yesterday was the time of our lives.

We were born and raised in a summer haze.

Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.

I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,

That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you.

I wish nothing but the best for you, too.

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:- "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.

Regrets and mistakes they're memories made.

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste? Never mind, I'll find someone like you.

I wish nothing but the best, for you too.

Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said:- "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Never mind, I'll find someone like you.

I wish nothing but the best, for you too.

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:- "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead" Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

Speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be.

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me,

Speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be. (Repeat)

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken-hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer,

Let it be.

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see,

There will be an answer,

Let it be. (Repeat)

There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,

There is still a light that shines on me,

Shine until tomorrow,

Let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music

Speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be. (Repeat)

There will be an answer, let it be.

2 Music and You

STEP ONE My Favorite Music or Musician

1) What kinds of music do you prefer? Why?

Sample

-- I prefer light music because it makes me feel relaxed. Light music also creates a peaceful environment. By listening to light music I can be in good mood and get prepared to do what is on my agenda.

-- I prefer rock music because it makes me excited and energetic. I feel as if I’m full of renewed vigor and can do any hard work.

-- I prefer country music because it is beautiful and puts me in a light mood.

-- I like pop music because it is easy to follow and is closely related to our daily lives.

-- I like folk music because it often tells a story about ordinary people.

-- I prefer Chinese pop music because it is closer and more meaningful to me. Very often I feel as if I were the singer and my feeling changes as the music does.

-- I like love songs because they are romantic. It arouses our imagination and touches the deep

part of our heart.

-- My favorite piece of music is jazz because it is the kind of music for all moods. My favorite jazz piece is "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane.

-- The music that I like most is the piano instrumental. The person who listens to instrumental music can try to understand what message the composer is trying to convey through his composition.

--My favorite song is James Taylor's "The Water is Wide." Every time I hear it, I feel as if I’m in a different place, where people walk in the streets heartbroken, but with the hope that life will be kind to them again. There is something comforting in the song that leaves me confident that whatever hardship I'm facing, other people have faced it before, and it can be overcome anyway.

2) Which composers and/or singers do you like most? Why?

Sample

-- Among the composers, I like Beethoven the most. I like his symphonies, especially his Fifth Symphony. It is thought-provoking. Whenever I feel unhappy and can’t find a way out of a difficult situation, I will listen to his music.

-- Among the singers, I like Mariah Carey the best. I like her songs, and I like her voice.

-- I like Michael Bolton, especially his “Said I Love You, but I Lied.”

-- I like Richard Marx because he is handsome, versatile and sexy.

3) Does music affect your mood? If so, how and what types of music?

Sample

-- Music does affect my mood. When I feel stressed or exhausted after a day’s hard work, I often listen to light music, country music, classical music, or folk music to relax myself.

-- When I feel sad and don’t feel like doing a nything, I will listen to some pop music or rock music to pick me up.

-- Music moves me in many ways but the most unforgettable experience I have had was listening to a piece of Mahler's. At one point the string section builds up to a high note which is so exquisitely haunting and sad that tears streamed down my face. I now know that he wrote this music about the death of his child and I find it amazing that this emotion could be conveyed so clearly. In most cases, music makes me happy to be alive.

-- Music keeps me in touch with my inner part, another real life. It reminds me of the basics necessary for a healthy heart. While we are all rushing around from day to day it is too easy to be busy "getting it all" done and we forget to take good care of ourselves and keep in touch with each other often enough. Music takes us away from the busy physical world and provides an easy way to reach the soul.

STEP TWO Music Party

(The teacher can choose one or two music fans in the class to give a music party and let the fans choose a couple of their classmates to help them with the work.)

6) As we all know, you’re becoming more and more famous in recent years. What’s your secret weapon for success?

7) What do you think about recorded music and live performance?

8) Some youngsters take famous singers as their role models and try to imitate them in any way they can. What do you think of this?

9) Can you say something about your first song?

STEP FOUR Music Report

Sample

Frank White is an extraordinarily fascinating musician. Being a music talent, he started to write some easy songs when he was a little child. By the time he entered a music school, he already had several popular songs to his credit. Being a famous singer throughout the country, he thinks his secret is to be faithful to his fans and to be always original. He never copies others. With love as the theme of his songs, he also tries to show his love for people and the world.

He is going to give a concert at our university because he considers our university as one of the best universities in the country and he wants to get some inspiration from the brilliant students on this campus for his creation. In the concert, he will bring us some of his newly-written songs and he is sure that we will enjoy them. He has kept the program for the concert a secret because he wants to give us a pleasant surprise.

3. Trying to Be a Songwriter

Tips for teachers:

1)Exploring music: Whether you are a teenager or are well into your golden years, it is never too late to explore your creativity, especially in music. Songwriting is an excellent way to express your thoughts and feelings even if you have no aspirations of musical fame or fortune. If you are interested in selling or performing your songs, however, you should be aware that it is a hard road and that very few songwriters achieve great fame or fortune, especially in a short time. Nonetheless, if you are quite realistic, you’ll find that composing music is a worthwhile experience whether it is a hobby or a profession.

2) What to start with: People write songs in many different ways. Some writers compose the music first, while others first write the words. For still others, words and melody occur to them at the same time. No matter what process you are comfortable with, you eventually have to decide what the song is about. There is a variety of different types of songs ranging from songs that tell fictional stories to songs that communicate deep personal feelings.

A story song: If you decide to write a story song, a good start is to write about a news story or something you’ve read in the newspaper. However, if you already have a story in your mind, you can write it out in poem form with appropriate rhymes and structures that help transform the story into a song.

4) Personal songs: Music is very expressive and songwriters use the media to express their feelings, whether it’s about a person, a situation or even an important place. Songs can be highly personal, so each person creates differently. When you have a strong feeling about something, write it down in a notebook and come back to it later. You might come up with a good line that expresses an emotion really well, and if you remember it you might be able to build an entire song around it. A peaceful environment is always favorable to songwriting.

Music composing: Composing the music for a song can be done in many different ways depending on your musical prowess and your focus. Often times, songwriters will construct whole pieces, melody and all, without even knowing what the song is going to be about. Once the melody is complete, the composer will sit down and think about the lyrics that are consistent with the feeling behind the music and will go from there.

Samples (用“洋娃娃与小熊跳舞”的曲调):

1)

Little Sammy, don’t worry,

We’ll help you anyway;

Always happy, always lucky,

God will bless you all the way.

Play basketball, do some reading,

Have a good time every day;

Welcome to China,

Go to the Great Wall,

With your Wishbone together.

(The students who wrote the song: 刘樱,蒋令西,吴越,钱莉莉)

2)

Sammy, little boy,

Let’s go to China with your dear Wishbone,

To see the Great Wall,

To see the Summer Palace,

And to everywhere you want.

Playing basketball in the shiny sun,

Reading stories on the grass,

With Wishbone around you,

Everything is so beautiful.

Sammy, our happiest boy,

The best wishes to you,

Forever, forever, forever.

4. Trying to Translate Lyrics

A School Boy

I’m a little school boy,

Carrying a schoolbag I go to school,

Regardless of the scorching sun

And the violent wind and rainstorm,

I fear my teacher would scold me for being lazy,

And with no learning I daren’t face mom and dad.

I’m a little school boy,

Carrying a schoolbag I go to school,

Neither for becoming an official,

Nor for glorifying my own face,

My goal is to change the fate of the poor,

Let them no longer be bullied or enslaved.

The Power of Music

Music is the universal language of mankind. Music is everywhere. We can hear it in restaurants, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, department stores, banks, hospitals, and many other public places. Music of all kinds is now available, and tapes and CDs are not very expensive.

Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. Music can express emotions that are beyond speech and give us a better feeling about ourselves and about everything around us. It can change our attitudes toward many things. When we feel sad, music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life which can cheer us up; when we are tired and bored, music can make us relaxed. It has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. When we are working or studying, music can provide us with a pleasant environment so that we can work or study more efficiently. Music can make people work faster and with more energy. The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music.

Unit 1 羞怯的痛苦 对许多人来说,羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安,感到不自然;也就是说,他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法:我给人留下的是什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我讲话是不是傻里傻气?我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。 很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中,而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常,人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如,具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信,他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励,也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害;他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。 相反,他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下,羞怯的人自尊心较弱,往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们(是否)在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感;他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴,因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞:“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然,尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质,过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。 能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢?幸运的是,人们能够通过坚持

不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的,因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如,大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难,就把自己列为差生,这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能,甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时,我们正在自我否定。 如果你害羞,这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感:1.认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随着对自我的不断认同,羞怯感就会自然减弱。 2.确定合理的目标。例如,在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起,你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力,仅和一两个人交谈,你会感到更自在些。 3.内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情,(光)感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反,应该承认你犯了个错误,并决心在将来更加善解人意。 4.所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。 5.不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的,或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。 6.接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如,如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术,要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心,你们还是好朋友,但你的烹饪技术也许确实

新视野大学英语3课文翻译 第一课无限的爱 我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产,因为缺氧导致大脑受损。两年后,我出生了。 从此以后,我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。 伴随我成长的,是“到外面去玩,把你哥哥也带上。” 不带上他,我是哪里也去不了的。因此,我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来,尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。 我母亲教吉米学习日常自理,比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。 我父亲宅心仁厚,他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。 我则负责外面的事,找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母,告他们的状,为我哥哥讨回公道。 父亲和吉米形影不离。 他们一道吃早饭,平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心,他们都在那里工作,吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。 晚饭后,他们一道交谈,玩游戏,直到深夜。 他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。 所以,父亲1991年因心脏病去世时,吉米几乎崩溃了,尽管他尽量不表现出来。 他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。 通常,他是一个令人愉快的人,现在却一言不发,无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。 我雇了一个人和他住在一起,开车送他去上班。然而,不管我怎么努力地维持原状,吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。 有一天,我问他:“你是不是想念爸爸?” 他的嘴唇颤抖了几下,然后问我:“你怎么看,玛格丽特?他是我最好的朋友。” 接着,我俩都流下了眼泪。 六个月后,母亲因肺癌去世,剩下我一人来照顾吉米。 吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着,因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。 我走到哪里他就跟到哪里,他好像适应得很好。 但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里,继续干他原来的工作。我答应把他送回去。 此事最后做成了。 如今,他在那里生活了11年,在许多人的照料下,同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。 他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。 如果你有邮件要收,或有狗要遛,他就是你所要的人。 当然,母亲的话没错:可以有一个家,既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。

unit 6 The Last Leaf When Johnsy fell seriously ill, she seemed to lose the will to hang on to life. The doctor held out little hope for her. Her friends seemed helpless. Was there nothing to be done? 约翰西病情严重,她似乎失去了活下去的意志。医生对她不抱什么希望。朋友们看来也爱莫能助。难道真 的就无可奈何了吗? 1 At the top of a three-story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio. "Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at a cafe on Eighth Street and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted. 在一幢三层砖楼的顶层,苏和约翰西辟了个画室。“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。她们一位来自缅因州,一 位来自加利福尼亚。两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆,发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉,以及灯笼袖等方面趣 味相投,于是就有了这个两人画室。 2 That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims. She lay, scarcely moving on her bed, looking through the small window at the blank side of the next brick house. 那是5月里的事。到了11月,一个医生称之为肺炎的阴森的隐形客闯入了这一地区,用它冰冷的手指东 碰西触。约翰西也为其所害。她病倒了,躺在床上几乎一动不动,只能隔着小窗望着隔壁砖房那单调沉闷的侧墙。 3 One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy, gray eyebrow. 一天上午,忙碌的医生扬了扬灰白的浓眉,示意苏来到过道。 4 "She has one chance in ten," he said. "And that chance is for her to want to live. Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind? “她只有一成希望,”他说。“那还得看她自己是不是想活下去。你这位女朋友已经下决心不想好了。她有 什么心事吗?” 5 "She -- she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day," said Sue. “她――她想有一天能去画那不勒斯湾,”苏说。 6 "Paint? -- bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice -- a man, for instance?" “画画?――得了。她有没有别的事值得她留恋的――比如说,一个男人?” 7 "A man?" said Sue. "Is a man worth -- but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind." “男人?”苏说。“难道一个男人就值得――可是,她没有啊,大夫,没有这码子事。” 8 "Well," said the doctor. "I will do all that science can accomplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines." After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she marched into Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling a merry tune. “好吧,”大夫说。“我会尽一切努力,只要是科学能做到的。可是,但凡病人开始计算她出殡的行列里有 几辆马车的时候,我就要把医药的疗效减去一半。”大夫走后,苏去工作室哭了一场。随后她携着画板大步走进 约翰西的房间,口里吹着轻快的口哨。 9 Johnsy lay, scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. She was looking out and counting -- counting backward. 约翰西躺在被子下几乎一动不动,脸朝着窗。她望着窗外,数着数――倒数着数! 10 "Twelve," she said, and a little later "eleven"; and then "ten," and "nine"; and then "eight" and "seven," almost together. “12,”她数道,过了一会儿“11”,接着数“10”和“9”;再数“8”和“7”,几乎一口同时数下来。 11 Sue looked out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves, leaving it almost bare. 苏朝窗外望去。外面有什么好数的呢?外面只看到一个空荡荡的沉闷的院子,还有20英尺开外那砖房的侧墙,上面什么也没有。一棵古老的常青藤爬到半墙高。萧瑟秋风吹落了枝叶,藤上几乎光秃秃的。
