Lesson Twelve: Selling the Post (II)打印本页

I. Outline of the Text

Part 1: (Para. 1)

The 1930’s were a hard period for the Bakers and Russell’s father had died.

Part 2: (Paras. 2-17)

Russell proved to be a poor salesman. He was too shay and timid for the job.

Part 3: (Paras. 18-26)

Doris proved to be a better salesperson.

Part 4: (Paras. 27-33)

Mrs. Baker concluded that her son lacked the competitive zeal a salesman needed. And from a composition he wrote Mrs. Baker discovered his talent for writing. Russell decided to become a writer.

Ⅱ. Text

Part 1: (Para. 1)

1 We lived in Belleville, New Jersey, a commuter town at the northern fringe of Newark.

It was 1932,the bleakest year of the Depression.

译文:那是1932年,大萧条时期最不景气的年头。

commuter 通勤者

fringe=edge

bleakest=darkest=severest

My father had died two years before, leaving us with a few pieces of Sears, Roebuck furniture and not much else, and my mother had taken my sister, Doris, and me to live with one of her younger brothers.

译文:两年前,我父亲去世,除了几件西尔斯和罗巴克家具之外,没给我们留下什么别的东西,我母亲带着我和妹妹多丽丝去投奔她的一个弟弟。

leave sb sth 留给某人某物。

This was my Uncle Allen. Uncle Allen had made something of himself by 1932.

As salesman for a soft-drink bottler, he had an income of $30 a week; wore pearl-gray spats, detachable collars, and a three-piece suit; was happily married; and took in threadbare relatives.

译文:他推销一种软饮料装瓶机,每周收入30美元,鞋外套着珠灰色的鞋罩,脖子上有可拆卸的领子,身穿三件套的西服;他婚姻美满;接纳身穿破衣烂衫的亲戚住在他家。

take in:accept

threadbare:poor

Part 2: (Paras. 2-17)

2 With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. That’s where the

people were.(那个地方人多)

There were two filling stations at the intersection with Union Avenue, as well ad an A&P, a street fruit stall, a bakery, a barbershop, a drugstore, and a diner shaped like a railroad car.

译文:在联邦大街的十字路口处,有两个加油站,还有一家A&P连锁店、一个露天水果摊、一家面包房、一个理发店、一家药房和一家形似火车餐车的小餐馆。

at the intersection 在十字路口

For several hours I made myself highly visible, shifting position now and then from corner to corner to corner, from shop window to shop window, to make sure everyone could see the heavy black lettering on the bag that said the Saturday Evening Post.

译文:一连好几个钟头我尽量惹人注意,不时转移地方,一会儿在这个街角,一会儿到另一个街角,一会儿在这个橱窗旁,一会儿又换个橱窗,想办法让所有的人都能看到包上《星期六晚间邮报》这几个粗体字。

When the angle of light indicated it was suppertime. I walked back to the house.

译文:太阳西下表明该吃晚饭的时候,我走回了家。

3 “How many did you sell, Buddy?” my mother asked.

4 “None.”

5 “Where did you go?”

6 “The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

7 “What did you do?”

8 “Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

9 “You just stood there?”

10 “Didn’t sell a single one.”

11 “For God’s sake, Russell!”

e.g. After school he headed straight for home.

2 Stand by:袖手旁观

e.g. We couldn’t stand by while people starved.

stand by sb.: to support 支持

stand by sth 信守诺言

stand up for sb./sth.支持,维护

e.g. His parents were upset when he was arrested but stood by him.

stand up to sb./sth.:经受住;面对;对抗

e.g. Don’t let say things like that about your work. You should stand up to her a bit more.

Stand by sth.: 遵守(诺言等)

e.g. I’ll stand by my promise.

Stand for: to represent 代表; 容忍<用于疑问和否定句>

12 Uncle Allen intervened.“I’ve been thinking about it for some time,” he said, “and I’ve about decided to take the Post regularly. Put me down as a regular customer.(把我算成一个长期买主吧)”I handed a magazi ne and he paid me a nickel. It was the first nickel I earned.

13 Afterwards my mother instructed me in salesmanship.(接着我母亲教我如何推销)

instruct sb in 在某方面教导

I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with charming self-confidence, and

break down resistance with a sales talk pointing out that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

译文:我得按人家的门铃,跟大人说话要表明出叫人喜欢的自信心,对不愿买的人进行宣传,消除他们的抵制情绪,对他们说无论多穷,家里也不能没有《星期六晚间邮报》。

e.g. I can’t stand for the manager wh en he is out.

I wouldn’t stand for that sort of treatment if I were you.

2 break down 制服,压垮

14 I told my mother I’d changed my mind about wanting to succeed in the magazine business.

15 “If you think I’m going to raise a good-for-nothing,” she replied,” you’ve got another think coming.”

2 “If you think I’m going to raise a good-for-nothing,” she said, “you’ve got another think coming.”

“I won’t tell you grow up to become a good-for-nothing,” she replied, “If you think I will, you’re quite mistaken, and you’d better stop thinking that way.”

2 set forth: to set out/off 动身,出发

2 Be due 到期限

译文:她回答说:“你要是以为我会去培养一个废物,那你趁早打消这个念头。”

She told me to hit the streets with the canvas bag and start ringing doorbells the instant school was out the next day.

译文:她叫我第二天一放学就背起挎包出发,挨家挨户地按人家的门铃。

When I objected that I didn’t feel any aptitude for salesmanship, she asked how I’d like to lend her my leather belt so she could whack some sense into me.

译文:我说我不同意,我根本就没有学推销术的天分,她听了这话后,就问我是不是想把皮带借给她,把我揍一顿,让我明白点道理。

aptitude :capable

whack:beat wildly

aptitude n :ability 能力

attitude n 态度

altitude n 海拔

I bowed to superior will and entered journalism with a heavy heart.

译文:我只好屈服于我母亲至高无上的意志,心事重重地进入了新闻行业。

bowed to:give in 妥协,屈服

16 My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.

译文:差不多从我记事起,我和我母亲就一直为此争执不休。

It probably started even before memory began, when I was a country child in northern Virginia and my mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people, with calluses on their hands, over-alls on their backs, and fourth-grade educations in their heads.

译文:我还不会记事的时候就开始了,那会儿我还是个北弗吉尼亚农村的孩子,我母亲不满足于父亲普通工人的生活,决心让我长大以后不像他和他的家人那样,手上长满老茧,身上穿着工装,头脑里只有小学四年级的文化水平。

callus 老茧

She had fancier ideas of life’s possibilities.

译文:她(比父亲)对生活前景抱有更美好的幻想。

Introducing me to the Saturday Evening Post, she was trying to wean me as early as possible from my father’s world where men left with their lunch pails at su nup, worked with their hands all their lives, and died with a few sticks of mail-order furniture as their legacy.

译文:她让我尝试和体验推销《星期六晚间邮报》,是试图让我尽早脱离我父亲的那个天地。在那个天地里,太阳一出来男人们就带着饭盒离开家,一辈子干体力活,到死的时候留下

的遗产只不过是邮购来的几件家具。

In my mother’s vision of the better life there were desks and white collars, well-pressed suits, evenings of reading and lively talk, and perhaps—if a man were very, very lucky and hit the jackpot, really made something important of himself—perhaps there might be a fantastic salary of $5,000 a year to support a big house and a Buick with a rumble seat and vacation in Atlantic City.

译文:在我母亲的心目中,像样的生活里要有书桌,人们穿戴白领子和熨烫整齐的西服,

晚上读书和进行愉快的谈话,或者是——要是一个人非常富裕,非常成功,大大提高了自己的

社会地位——他可能有5,000美元这样令人难以相信的年薪来维持一栋大房子和一辆有折叠加座的别克轿车,还能在大西洋城度假。

unexpected success

17 And so I set forth with my sack of magazines. I was afraid of the dogs that snarled behind the doors of potential buyers.

I was timid about ringing the doorbells of strangers, relieved when no one came to the door, and scared when someone did.

译文:我不敢按陌生人家的门铃,(按铃之后)要是没有人到门口来。我倒松了一口气,

要是来了人我感到害怕。

be timid about 害羞的

Despite my mother’s instructions, I could not deliver an engaging sales pitch.

译文:尽管我母亲教了我,我就是不会滔滔不绝地向人宣传那杂志。

in spite of

regardless of

When a door opened I simply asked, “Want to buy a Saturday Evening Post?” In Belleville few persons did.

It was a town of 30, 000 people, and most weeks I rang a fair majority of its doorbells.

译文:这是个有3万人口的城镇,多数情况下一周内,很大部分人家的门铃我都按过。

But I rarely sold my thirty copies. Some weeks I canvassed the entire town for six days and still had four or five unsold magazines on Mon-day evening; then I dreaded the coming of Tuesday morning,

when a batch of thirty fresh Saturday Evening Post was due at the front door.

译文:另一批30份新印出来的《星期六晚间邮报》按时送到大门口时。

Part 3: (Paras. 18-26)

18 One rainy night when car windows were sealed against me I came back soaked and with not a single sale to report. My mother beckoned to Doris.

19 “Go back with Buddy and show him how to sell these magazines,” she said.

20 Brimming with zest, Doris, then seven years old, returned with me to the corner.

译文:多丽丝那时7岁,她满腔热忱地跟我回到街角处。

My half-year’s interest is due now.

2 Brim with: to be full of充满

She took a magazine from the bag, and when the light turned red she strode to the nearest car and banged her small fist against the closed window.

The driver, probably startled to see such a little girl assaulting his car, lowered the window to stare, and Doris thrust a Saturday Evening Post at him.

译文:那个开车人发现闯到他车旁的竟然是个很小的女孩子,可能感到十分惊讶,于是放

下车窗,盯她一眼,这时多丽丝把一份《星期六晚间邮报》塞给了他。

attack

21 “You need this magazine,” she piped, “and it only costs a nickel.”

译文:女孩说:“你需要这份报纸,它只要5分钱。”

sell v

on sale n

22 Her salesmanship was irresistible.

译文:她的推销技巧令人无法拒绝。

英语译文:She urged people to buy the magazine so persuasively and successfully that they could not refuse her.

Before the light changed half a dozen times she disposed of the entire batch.

译文:还没等红绿灯改变6次,她就把30份杂志卖完了。

Dispose of 处理,处置

I didn’t feel humiliated. I was so happy( I decided to give her a treat)(我决定买点吃的犒劳她). Leading her to the vegetable store on Belleville Avenue, I bought three apples, which cost a nickel, and gave her one.

The dictator soon disposed of his opponents.

2 decide to do sth.

decide against sth. /doing sth.决定反对

decide for/in favour of sth.决定赞成

e.g. The court has decided for/in favour of the defendant.

decide on/upon sth.对某事做出决定

e.g. We’ve decided on Paris for our next vacation.

23 “You shouldn’t waste money,” she said.

24 “Eat your apple.” I bit into mine.

25 “You shouldn’t eat before supper,” she said. “It’ll spoil your appetite.”

26 Back at the house that evening, she dutifully reported me for wasting a nickel.

译文:当天晚上回到家里,她规规矩矩地告发我浪费了5美分。

Instead of a scolding, I was rewarded with a pat on the back for having the good sense to buy fruit instead of candy.

译文:母亲不但没有责备我,还因为我挺懂事,买的是水果而不是糖,拍了拍我的后背表

示赞赏。

2 I didn’t feel humiliated.

I didn’t feel ashamed of my poor performance at all.

2 Be rewarded with得到…的奖赏

My mother reached into her bottomless supply of maxims and told Doris,“An apple a day keep s the doctor away.”

译文:我母亲这时从她那无穷无尽的格言警句库中信手拈出一条,对多丽丝说:“一天一苹果,医生自己躲。”

英语译文:My mother began to quote a wise saying from her unlimited collection.

Part 4: (Paras. 27-33)

27 By the time I was ten I had learned all my mother’s maxims by heart. Asking to stay up past normal bedtime, I knew that a refusal would be explained with “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

译文:我请求晚睡时,如果她不同意,我就知道她会通过这条格言来说明原因:“早睡早起,就会健康、富裕、智慧。”

learn by heart 铭记在心

If I whimpered about having to get up early in the morning, I could depend on her to say, “The early bird gets the worm.”

译文:我要是抱怨清晨还得早早起床,我保证她就会说:“早起的鸟儿能逮住虫儿。”

28 The one I most despised was, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” This was the battle cry with which she constantly sent me back into the hopeless struggle whenever I moaned that I had rung every doorbell in town and knew there wasn’t a single potential buyer left in Belleville that week.

译文:我最讨厌的那条格言是:“第一次不成功,努力,努力,再努力。”每当我嘟囔着说我按过了城里各家各户的门铃,贝尔维尔当周不会再有人买那杂志时,我母亲就用这个战斗口号打发我回去做那件毫无成功希望的事情。

After listening to my explanation, she handed me the canvas bag and said,“If at first you don’t succeed…”

29 Three years in that job, which I would gladly have quit after the first day except for her insistence, produced at least one valuable result.

译文:这活要不是我母亲非要我干,我干过一天之后就不想干了。不过干了3年至少产生了一个很有价值的效果。

except for 后面的与前面讲的不是一类,如果是一类则用except。

My mother finally concluded that I would never make some-thing of myself by pursuing a life in business and started considering careers that demanded less competitive zeal.

译文:我母亲最后得出结论,认为我在商界是不会有所作为的,她开始为我考虑不需要很高竞争热忱的职业。

30 One evening when I was eleven I brought home a short “composition” on my summer vacation which the teacher had graded with an A.

译文:我11岁时的一天晚上,带回家一篇关于暑假的小作文,老师给这篇作文打了最高分。

Reading it with her own schoolteacher’s eye, my mother agreed that it was top-drawer seventh grade prose and complimented me.

译文:我母亲以自己当老师的眼光读了这篇作文,她认为这确实是7年级高水平的文章,她还表扬了我。

with …eye 从…视角看,以…的眼光看

top-drawer=the highest level

Nothing more was said about it immediately, but a new idea had taken life in her

mind. Halfway through supper she suddenly interrupted the conversation.

译文:这事她当时没再说什么,不过她脑子里已经产生了一个新主意。晚饭吃到一半的时候,她突然打断了我们的谈话。

31 “Buddy,” she said, “maybe you could be a writer.”

32 I clasped the idea to my heart.

译文:我把这想法存在心里。

clasped to my heart=keep in deep heart

I had never met a writer, and shown no previous urge to write, and hadn’t a notion how to become a writer, but I loved stories and though that making up stories must surely be almost as much fun as reading them.

译文:我从来没有见过作家,以前也没有想写作的迫切愿望,对怎样才能成为作家一点概念都没有,不过我喜欢读故事,我想编故事肯定和读故事一样有趣。

2 make up:编造

Best of all, though, and what really gladdened my heart, was the ease of the writer’s life. Writers did not have to trudge through the town peddling from can-vas bags, defending themselves against angry dogs, being rejected by surly strangers.

译文:不过,(当作家)最好之处——真正令我高兴的事——是作家生活的安逸。作家不必疲惫不堪地穿街走巷背着帆布袋去叫卖,不必提防那些恶狗,不必遭受陌生人恶习言恶习语的回绝。

Writers did not have to ring doorbells.

So far as I could make out, what writers did couldn’t even be classified as work.

译文:按我当时的理解,作家干的事甚至不能算作是工作。

classify

make out: 了解,明白;辨认出

33 I was enchanted. Writers didn’t have to have any gumption at all. I did not dare tell anybody for fear of being laughed at in the schoolyard, but secretly I decided that what I’d like to be when I grew up was a writer.

译文:这主意使我着迷。作家根本不必有闯劲儿。这事我不敢跟任何人说,怕在校园里让人笑话,不过我私下认定长大之后要当作家。

for fear of… 害怕…

So they broke the bad news gently. Her husband, Brently, was dead. 他们知道路易丝·马拉德的心脏不太好,所以把坏消息透露给她时非常委婉。她的丈夫布伦特里死 了 2“ There was a train accident, Louise, ” said her sister Josephine, quietly. 3Her husband's friend, Richards, brought the news, but Josephine told the story.

Lesson One Twelve Things l Wish They Taught at School Carl Sagan Learning Guide 俗话说:“活到老,学到老。”人的一生就是不断学习、不断丰富和充实自己的过程。青少年阶段, 尤其是中学阶段,无疑是学习的最佳时期。中学教育的重点应放在什么地方?美国著名科学家和科普 作家萨根批评中学只抓各个学科具体内容的做法,他认为中学要注重对青少年的宏观教育,使他们建 立起唯物的世界观和宇宙观,使他们能够正确对待自己,关心周围的世界——人类生存的环境和自己 的地球同胞。 1. I attended junior and senior high school, public institutions in New York and New Jersey, just after the Second World War. It seems a long time ago. ① The facilities and the skills of the teachers were probably well above average for the United States at that time.Since then, I've learned a great deal. One of the most important things I've learned is how much there is to learn, ② and how much I don't yet know.③ Sometimes I think how grateful I would be today if I had learned more back then about what really matters. In some respects that education was terribly narrow; the only thing I ever heard in school about Napoleon was that the United States made the Louisiana Purchase from him. ④(On a planet where some 95% of the inhabitants are not Americans, the only history that was thought worth teaching was American history. ) In spelling, grammar, the fundamentals of math, and other vital subjects, my teachers did a pretty good job. But there's so much else I wish 2.Perhaps all the deficiencies have since been rectified. It seems to me there are many things (often more a matter of attitude and perception than the simple memorization of facts) that the schools should teach — things

Unit1 A Learning, Chinese-Style Unit2 A A Life Full of Riches Unit3 A Father Knows Better Unit4 A A Virtual Life Unit5 A True Height Unit6 A A Woman Can Learn Anything a Man Can Unit1 Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West. 哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。 Learning, Chinese-Style Howard Gardner 1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing. 中国式的学习风格 霍华德·加德纳 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。 2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it. 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 3 Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot. 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往

综合英语二课文总结 上册 Lesson One: Twelve Things I wish they taught at school Outline: The author attended junior and senior high school in New York and New Jersey. Sometimes he think how grateful he would be today if he had learned more back then about what really matters. List of the things that school should teach: -Pick a difficult thing and learn it well. While you learn a little bit about many subjects, make sure you learn a great deal about one or two. -Don’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions. Many apparently naive questions are really deep questions. -Listen carefully. Try to understand what they are saying, what experience is behind their remarks. -Everybody makes mistakes. The only embarrassment is in not learning from your mistakes. -Know your planet. -Science and technology. The great discoveries in modern science are also great discoveries of the human spirit. -Don't spend your life watching TV. -Culture Don’t restrict to American or Western culture. -Compassion Our passion to understand the universe and our compassion for others jointly provide the chief hope for the human race. Lesson Two: Icons Outline: Heroes and cultural icons People today choose media icons for their “most admired” list.
