Lesson 15: The Beauty Industry美容用品业

The one American industry unaffected by the general depression of trade is the beamy industry.

美国工业中惟一未受贸易大萧条影响的是美容用品业。

American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they spent before the coming of the slump經濟蕭條前—about three million pounds a week.

美国妇女仍不断在她们的脸上和身体上花费与经济萧条到来之前同样多的钱——每周约300万英镑。

These facts and figures are "official", and can he accepted as being substantially 充分true.

这些事实与数字都是官方的，可大致属实。

Reading them. I was only surprised by the comparative 相對較小smallness of the sums expended.

当读到这时，我只为花费的数目相对较小而感到惊奇。

From the prodigious巨大number of advertisements of aids to beauty contained in the American magazines,

从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看，

I had imagined that the personal appearance business must stand high up among the champions of American industry—the equal, or only just less than the equal, of bootlegging販賣私酒and racketeering,敲詐勒索movies and automobiles.

从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看，我原以为美容用品业一定居美国工业群雄之首，与贩卖私酒和敲诈勒索，电影和汽车业并驾齐驱或稍逊一筹。

Still, one hundred and fifty-six million pounds a year is a tidy 相當大的sum.

虽然如此，每年1亿5，600万英镑是一个相当不小的数目，

Rather more than twice the revenue收入of India, if I remember rightly.

如果我没有记错的话，超出印度年收入的两倍。

I do not know what the European figures are. Much smaller undoubtedly.

我不知道欧洲的数字是多少，毫无疑问要小得多。

Europe is poor, and a face can cost as much in upkeep as a Rolls-Royce.

欧洲很穷，保养一张脸需要花费和保养一辆罗尔斯——罗伊斯牌汽车一样多的钱。

The most that the majority of European women can do is just to wash and hope for the best.

大多欧洲妇女最多只能洗洗脸，听天由命。

Perhaps the soap will produce its loudly advertised effects;

也许肥皂会产生广告中大肆宣扬的效果，

perhaps it will transform them into the likeness of those ravishing creatures who smile so rosily and creamily紅潤白嫩, so peachily艷如桃李and pearlily美若珠肌, from every hoarding廣告牌.

也许能把她们变成像那些在每块广告牌上绽开令人陶醉的红润白嫩、艳如桃李、美若珠玑般笑容的女郎。

Perhaps, on the other hand, it may not.

另一方面，或许肥皂不具有这种效能。

In any case, the more costly experiments in beautification are still as much beyond most European means as are high-powered motor-cars and electric refrigerators.

无论怎样，在装饰自己上更为昂贵的试验和大马力汽车及电冰箱一样都是欧洲人的经济能力所不及的。

Even in Europe, however, much more is now spent on beauty than was ever spent in the past.

然而即使在欧洲，如今花在化妆品上的钱比过去任何时候都要多得多，

Not quite so much more as in America, that is all.

只不过比起美国来要逊色些罢了。

But, everywhere, the increase has been undoubtedly enormous.增長無疑是巨大的

但无论在任何地方，增长无疑是巨大的。

The fact is significant.

这一事实意义重大。

To what is it due?

为什么会出现这种现象呢？

In part, I suppose, to a general increase in prosperity繁榮.

我认为部分是由于普遍增长的繁荣。

The rich have always cultivated their personal appearance.

有钱的人总是追求个人容貌的修饰，

The diffusion擴散of wealth—such as it is—now permits those of the poor who are less badly off than their fathers to do the same.

财富的扩散——尽管程度并不大，境况比其父辈稍好一些的穷人也能这样做。

But this is, clearly, not the whole story.

但显然这并非事情的全部。

The modern cult of beauty is not exclusively 不隻是a function (in the mathematical sense) of wealth.

现代对美貌的狂热崇拜并不只是财富的作用（从数学意义上看），

If it were, then the personal appearance industries would have been as hardly hit by the trade depression as any other business.

因为如果是这样，那么美容用品业就会和其他企业一样受到贸易萧条的沉重打击。

But, as we have seen, they have not suffered.

但是正如我们所见，它并未受到损失。

Women are retrenching緊縮on other things than their faces.

女人们在美容之外的一切方面紧缩开支，

The cult of beauty must therefore be symptomatic of changes that have taken place outside the economic sphere

因而对美貌的狂热崇拜必定表现了经济领域以外产生的变化。

. Of what changes? Of the changes, I suggest, in the status of women; of the changes in our attitude towards "the merely physical."單純是肉體的變化

什么变化？我认为表现了妇女地位的变化，表现了我们对“单纯是肉体”的态度的变化。

Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past.

很显然，妇女比过去自由了，

Freer not only to perform the generally unenviable social functions hitherto 迄今為止reserved保留to the male,

不仅在完成迄今为止由男性完成的并值得羡慕的社会职能上比较自由了，

but also freer to exercise the more pleasing, feminine privilege of being attractive.

而且在运用更令人愉快的女性吸引力的特权上比较自由了。

They have the right, if not to be less virtuous than their grandmothers, at any rate to look less virtuous貞淑.

如果她们没有权利不如祖母们贞淑，至少可以有权利看起来不那么贞淑。

The British Matron, not long since a creature of austere嚴峻and even terrifying aspect,

英国的命妇不久前还是神色严厉可怕的人物，

now does her best to achieve and perennially 永久preserve保持the appearance of what her predecessor前輩would have described as a Lost Woman. She often succeeds.

现在也尽一切努力获得并常年保持她的前辈会称作为荡妇的外表,她们常能做到这点。

But we are not shocked—at any rate, not morally shocked.

但我们并不感到震惊，至少在道德上没有震惊。

Aesthetically shocked—yes; we may sometimes be that. But morally, no.

审美上受到震惊——是的，有时是这样，但道德上没有

We concede 讓步that the Matron is morally justified正當的in being preoccupied with her personal appearance.

我们作出让步，承认命妇专注于个人容貌在道德上是正当的，

This concession讓步depends on another of a more general nature—a concession to the Body, with a large B, to the Manichaean principle of evil

这一让步是基于另一个性质更为一般的让步，即将带有大写B的肉体让与摩尼教中说的邪恶，

For we have now come to admit that the body has its rights.

因为我们现在已经承认了肉体具有自己的权利。

And not only rights—duties, actually duties. It has, for example, a duty to do the best it can for itself in the way of strength and beauty.

而且不仅是权利——还有责任，具体的责任。例如它有责任在力与美方面尽其所能地使自己得到满足。

Christian-ascetic ideas no longer trouble us.

基督教的禁欲主义不再令我们不安。

We demand justice for the body as well as for the soul.

我们要求灵魂以及肉体都能得到公正的对待。

Hence, among other things, the fortunes made by face-cream manufacturers and

beauty-specialists, by the vendors of rubber reducing belts and massage machines, by the patentees of hair-lotions and the authors of books on the culture of the abdomen.腹部線條

因此其结果之一便是雪花膏生产者和美容专家、橡胶减肥带及头油专利者和保持腹部线条指导书的作者们大发其财

What are the practical results of this modern cult of beauty?

——现代对美貌的狂热崇拜造成的具体结果是什么？

The exercises and the massage, the health motors and the skin foods—to what have they led?

锻炼与按摩机和护肤用品——它们造成了什么结果？

Are women more beautiful than they were?

女人们比过去漂亮了？

Do they get something for the enormous大量expenditure of energy, time, and money demanded of them by the beauty-cult?

由于对美貌的崇拜使她们花去大量的精力、时间和金钱，她们从中获得了什么吗？

These are questions which it is difficult to answer. For the facts seem to contradict themselves.

这些都是很难回答的问题，因为事实似乎互相矛盾。

The campaign for more physical beauty seems to be both a tremendous success 巨大的成功and a lamentable failure可悲的失敗, It depends on how you look at the results.

为取得更丰富的体貌美的运动似乎既是巨大的成功也是可悲的失败，看你如何看待。

It is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past.

从更多的女人比过去更长久地保持年轻外貌这一点看，这是个成功。

"Old ladies" are already becoming rare.

“老太太”已经很少见了。

In a few years, we may well believe, they will be extinct絕跡.

我们可以相信，几年后她将绝迹。

White hair and wrinkles, a bent back and hollow cheeks will come to be regarded as medievally 中世紀old-fashioned.

满头白发、满脸皱纹、弯腰曲背、两颊深陷会被看作是中世纪般的过时

The crone of the future will be golden, curly 卷曲and cherry-lipped, neatankled勻側and slender.

未来的老太婆将有卷曲的金发，樱桃红唇，匀侧脚踝，苗条身材。

The Portrait of the Artist's Mother will come to be almost indistinguishable難以分辯, at future picture shows, from the Portrait of the Artist's Daughter.

在未来的画展上，艺术家母亲的画像与其女儿的画像将变得几乎难以分辨，

This desirable consummation will be due in pan to skin foods and injections of

paraffin-wax, facial surgery, mud baths泥浴, and paint, in part to improved health, due in its turn to a more rational mode of life.

这一令人满意的结果一部分是由于有了护肤品和使胸部丰满的石蜡，整形外科，泥浴，化妆品，另外也由于更合理的生活方式造成的健康状态的改善。

Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease, beauty of health.

丑陋是疾病的症状之一，美则是健康的象征。

In so far as the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health,it is admirable and, up to a point, genuinely successful.

争取更多美丽的运动就是争取更健康的运动，就这点而言，是值得赞许的，并且在一定程度上是真正获得了成功。

Beauty that is merely the artificial shadow of these symptoms of health is intrinsically of poorer quality than the genuine article.

模仿出来的象征健康的美本质上就比真货质量差，

Still, it is a sufficiently good imitation(模仿) to be sometimes mistakeable for the real thing.

然而模仿技术有时足以乱真。

The apparatus器具for mimicking模仿the symptoms of health is now within the reach of every moderately prosperous person;

以仿造健康状态的设备现在每一个中等富裕的人都可以买得起；

the knowledge of the way in which real health can be achieved is growing, and will in time, no doubt, be universally acted upon.

用有关真正健康方面的知识也在不断增加，且无疑终将被所有人采用。

When that happy moment conies, will every woman be beautiful—as beautiful, at any rate, as the natural shape of her features, with or without surgical and chemical aid, permits?

当那个幸福时刻来临之时，是否每个女人都会很美丽——至少和她五官的自然形状在有或没有外科手术或化物品的帮助下同样美丽?

The answer is emphatically斷然的: No. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self.

回答是断然的：不是。真正的美，内在与外表同样重要。

The beauty of a porcelain jar陶器罐is a matter of shape, of colour, of surface texture.

细瓷瓶美在外形、色彩、质地。

The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime

罐子可能是空的，也可能为蜘蛛盘踞，装满蜂蜜或又臭又粘的液体，

—it makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness.

而这一切都不影响瓷瓶的美与丑

But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep.

但人是活生生的，因而她的美不是表面的。

The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents.

人这种容器受其精神内涵的影响。

I have seen women who, by the standards of a connoisseur of porcelain, 瓷器鉴赏家were ravishingly lovely.

我见过一些女人，如果用瓷器鉴赏家的标准来衡量，她们可爱得迷人。

Their shape, their colour, their surface texture were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful.

她们的外形、色彩、表面质地都完美无缺，然而她们却不美，

For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some corruption.

因为这可爱的花瓶不是空空如也便是充满了某种腐朽，

Spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through.

精神空虚或灵魂丑恶透过外表显露出来。

And conversely, there is an interior light心靈的光芒that can transfigure forms that the pure aesthetician would regard as imperfect or downright ugly.

相反，有种心灵的光芒可以把纯唯美主义者们认为有缺陷或简直是丑陋的外形变得美好。

There are numerous forms of psychological ugliness.

多种形式的心理丑陋，

There is an ugliness of stupidity, for example, of unawareness (distressingly common among pretty women). An ugliness also of greed, of lasciviousness好色的, of avarice. 还有贪心、淫荡、贪婪无厌。

例如愚蠢、无自知之明（在漂亮女人中此现象普遍得令人苦恼），

All the deadly sins, indeed, have their own peculiar 奇特的negation of beauty.

一切遭天谴的大罪都以其奇特的方式损坏美。

On the pretty faces of those especially who are trying to have a continuous "good time,"

在那些漂亮的脸蛋上，特别是在那些企图不停“享乐”的人的脸蛋上，

one sees very often a kind of bored sullenness that ruins破壞all their charm.

常常可以看到一种厌倦的、阴沉的神情，破坏了他们的容貌。

I remember in particular two young American girls I once met in North Africa.

我特别记得我曾在北非遇见的两个年轻美国女郎。

From the porcelain specialist's point of view, they were beautiful.

从瓷器专家的观点来看，她们是美丽的，

But the sullen boredom of which I have spoken was so deeply stamped into their fresh faces,

但我上面谈到的那种阴沉厌倦的神情如此深深地刻在了她们年轻的脸上，

their gait步態and gestures 姿態expressed so weary a listlessness, that it was unbearable to look at them.

她们的步伐和姿态表现出无聊与无精打采，真让人受不了。

These exquisite creatures were positively repulsive.

这些精美的人物的确令人厌恶。

Still commoner and no less repellent is the hardness which spoils 損壞so many pretty faces.

更为常见且同样使人反感的是损害了漂亮面孔的冷酷表情。

Often, it is true, this air of hardness is due not to psychological causes,

诚然，冷酷的表情有时不是出于心理原因，

but to the contemporary 當代habit of over-painting.

而是当今面部过度化妆的习惯引起的。

In Paris, where this over-painting is most pronounced, many women have ceased to look human at all.

在过度化妆非常明显的巴黎，许多妇女已经根本不像人了。

Whitewashed and ruddled, they seem to be wearing masks.

刷白涂红以后，他们像戴上了面具。

One must look closely to discover the soft and living face beneath-

你必须仔细看才能看出浓妆下柔软的有生命的面孔。

But often the face is not soft, often it turns out to be imperfectly alive.

但是那张脸常常并不柔软，常常会发现它不完全充满生命力，

The hardness and deadness are from within.

那冷酷与木然是从内心发出的，

They are the outward and visible signs of some emotional or instinctive 本能的disharmony,

是某种感情或本能上存在的不和谐的外部迹象，

accepted as a chronic condition of being.

被视作生存本身的慢性病疾。

We do not need a Freudian to tell us that this disharmony不調和is often of a sexual nature.

不需任何弗洛伊德式的心理分析家来告诉我们，此种不和谐常常与性问题有关。

So long as such disharmonies continue to exist, so long as there is good reason for sullen boredom, so long as human beings allow themselves to be possessed 惡夢中and hagridden by monomaniacal vices, the cult of beauty is destined to be ineffectual.

只要这种不和谐继续存在下去，只要有阴沉厌倦的理由，只要人允许自己沉溺于罪恶之中被其纠缠困扰，那么对美貌的狂热崇拜便注定会是徒劳的。

Successful in prolonging the appearance of youth, or realizing or simulating the symptoms of health, the campaign inspired by this cult remains fundamentally a failure.

这一崇拜所激起的这场运动虽能成功地延迟外貌的衰老或使人获得或模仿出象征健康的美来，但从根本上仍是失败的，

Its operations do not touch the deepest source of beauty—the experiencing soul.

它的作用未能触及美的最深的源泉——感受中的灵魂。

It is not by improving skin foods and point rollers, by cheapening health motors and electrical hair-removers, that the human race will be made beautiful;

人类不能通过改进护肤品和卷发器或通过降低健身机和电动除毛器的价格使自己更美起来，

it is not even by improving health.

甚至也不能通过增进健康来实现。

All men and women will be beautiful only when the social arrangements give to every one

of them an opportunity to live completely and harmoniously,

所有男女只有在社会一切安排使他们每个人都能得到机会过完整和谐的生活时才能是美的，

when there is no environmental incentive and no hereditary tendency遺傳因素towards monomaniacal vice.

只有在没有环境刺激、没有遗传因素使他们沉溺于罪恶之中时才能是美的。

In other words, all men and women will never be beautiful. But there might easily be fewer ugly human beings in the world than there are at present.

换言之，不会所有的男女都是美的，但是很可能世界上会比过去少些丑陋的人。

We must be content with moderate hopes.

我们不能有过高的希望。

山东自考英语二课文翻译

Unit 1 Text A How Difficult Is English? 英语有多难 Like the national push for Asian literacy （n.有文化，有教养，有读写能力）in Australia，就如澳大利亚在全国推行学亚洲语言一样，there has been foreign languages fervor[f??v?] in China，中国也掀起一股外语热，with English on top of the list. 在这股热潮中，英语高居榜首。English is not only taught at schools，colleges and universities，but also at evening classes，on radio and TV．不仅各级学校教英语，夜校、电台、电视台也都设有英语课程。Parents hire private tutors for their school children；父母为学龄的孩子聘请英语家教，adult English learners would sacrifice the weekend at an English corner in a public park practicing their spoken English with peop1e of the same interest and determination. 成年英语学习者会牺牲周末休息日，到公园参加英语角，与志趣相投的英语学习者练习口语。Is English such a difficult language that it really demands people to invest a large amount of time and energy before it is mastered ? 英语真的有这么难，需要人们投入大量的时间和精力才能掌握吗? The answer，if I am asked to offer，is undoubtedly，yes．如果我被问及这个问题，那么毫无疑问，我的答案是：是的。From my personal experience, 从我个人的经验来看，I think learning English means far more than learning its pronunciation，its grammatical rules，its words，etc．英语学习不仅仅是学习英语发音、语法规则、词汇等，It involves learning everything about the countries where it is used and the people who use it．它包括学习与使用该语言的国家和民族有关的所有内容。Without such a complete understanding of the language, 对英语没有这样全面的理解，the English a foreigner speaks will inevitably sound strange or even unintelligible though there is not anything wrong with his pronunciation，sentence structure and the words he uses．即使发音、句子结构、措辞毫无错误，一个外国人所讲的英语也难免听起来稀奇古怪甚至难以理解。The social customs and habits of the English-speaking people contribute a lot to the difficulty a foreigner has in learning it．讲英语民族者的社会风俗习惯增加了外国人学习英语的难度。Take the Chinese English learners for example．以学英语的中国人为例，" Hello "and "Good morning" may sound a little bit simple to Chinese people．"你好"和"早上好"是非常简单的。It is totally beyond the understanding of a Chinese English learner that native English speakers would be annoyed when they're addressed "Where are you going?"，which is a commonly used addressing among the Chinese．"你去哪儿?"是中国人常用的问候语，若英语母语者被问及"你去哪儿?"，他们会因此感到不悦，这一点让中国的英语学习者大为不解。Is there anything wrong with the English sentence structure ? 这个英语句子结构不对吗? Of course not．当然不是。It takes quite some time for a Chinese English learner to understand the western concept of privacy being violated in this address. 学英语的中国人得费点儿时间才能理解这一问候语侵犯了西方人的隐私。By the same token，同样，"Have you eaten?"(which is another addressing term the Chinese people usually use)will sound to native English speakers that the Chinese are so hospitable that they invite people to meals off-handedly. 英语母语者听到"你吃了吗?"(中国人常用的另外一个问候语)，会觉得中国人非常好客，会在事先毫无准备的情况下请人吃饭。Meanwhile，the Chinese would be shocked to hear，"Oh，it's very nice of you．When?"，if the addressee happens to have a craving for Chinese cooking and has not had his dinner yet.如果听话者此刻正希望品尝一下中国美食，又碰巧没有吃饭，他会回答"太好了，什么时候?"，中国人为此也会大吃一惊。 "We can say we are going to have chicken for dinner．Why can't we say pig，bull or sheep for dinner instead of pork，beef or mutton?" Chinese English learners may raise such questions．中国的英语学习者可能会这样问："我们可以说吃鸡，为什么不能说吃猪、吃牛、吃羊，而要说吃猪肉、牛肉、羊肉呢?"Figuring out the reasons for the peculiar English vocabulary is no easy task for Chinese English learners．对学习英语的中国人来说，为这些特殊的英语词汇找出理由并非易事。But the problem is that memorizing English words mechanically would be devastating and inefficient if they did not know what had happened in British history．问题在于如果不懂英国历史，死记硬背英语单词毫无效率。Thus learning English(and other languages as well)involves learning the history of the countries where it is spoken．所以说，学英语(其他语言亦如此)还包括学习使用该语言国家的历史知识。A task of this kind is more difficult for Chinese English learners than for people who speak

自考英语二怎么学

自考英语二怎么学 自考英语二怎么学 1 英语(二)词汇记忆方法 英语二词汇要求达到3800词，词组750.有的同学问是不是就只要背下册书的词汇就行了，回答是不够的，肯定是不够的，因为词汇没有说只考下册，上册也要背。但是有人说我短期内怎么记住这些大量的词汇呢?大家词汇学习第一个应该是有一定的时间，因为有的同学说一个星期或者两个星期教给你方法能够记住几千，他这个方法有点儿像变魔术，不太现实，我觉得词汇是一个积累。因为从心理学角度来讲学词汇有两个方向，一个方向是要把词汇学习的时候印象深刻，一个词能够像串葡萄似的串出一串来，比如同义词、反义词、近义词，应该把有关联的词相互记忆。第二，词汇一定得重复，从心理学角度学词必须这样。 2 英语(二)学习重点 英语是一种语言，任何语言都是由词和句子构成的，所以光会了词，不会把这些词组成句子是不行的，因此怎么组成句子呢?得知道组成句子的规则，还有一些习惯用法，你必须要了解这种语言的文化，所以说学英语光学词是不行的，因此是除了学词以外还得学词的用法以及文化，习惯用法就是一种文化，死背根本记不住。为什么记不住?背的这个词应该是灵活的，怎么灵活呢?这个词首先要知道词性是什么，做个句子，学了一个词不会做句子造一个短语，还要大声的念，李阳疯狂英语为什么风靡全国，就是要把词大声地念出来，这样从耳朵里能够听进去的，对大脑的刺激比眼睛里看见的要强得多，所以学习词汇的一个技巧要大声念，要组一个词或者组一个短语，这样记忆比光看两遍、写几遍要好得多。

3 英语(二)考前冲刺方法 最好的方法应该是做冲刺的题目，所谓冲刺的题目就是要做一些题目跟考试的真题一样的，每一部分都是给自己做测试，做模拟题，比如要设定时间是2个半小时，考试是2个半小时，你就要用2个 半小时做模拟卷然后做考试题，因为考试的真题都有答案，最后对 一下答案看得多少分。 4 英语(二)考试如何安排考场时间 考试时间安排，总有最后的翻译题来不及做的这种情况，所以我跟大家讲主观性题目，我刚才说了有30%，一定要留出足够的时间，至少三分之一的时间来做。有一部分比较难的，就像完形填空，那 个只有10分，但是有大部分同学在那儿花的时间太多了，完形填空 一段文章是比较难的，把10个空填进去，如果耗费了很多时间不值得。因为完形填空一般的同学语法知识比较差的话，做不好这道题。但是像第一个题目词汇结构题，如果有一定的语法知识这道题应该 是可以拿到分的。再有阅读理解题，也是30分，有的同学最后来不 及把文章仔细看，就随便乱选了很容易选错，所以把三分之一的时 间一定要留给阅读理解，还有三分之一的时间留给主观性题目就是 翻译题。 注意事项 备考英语(二)最大的资本就是课本，考生最少要留一个月时间，把课文从头到尾复习一遍，力求吃透课本知识。 重复学习法当感到知识已经掌握得的差不多的时候，再重复学一次。这一次也许会获得更深的印象和更多的体会。 换位思考法在自学中，不要老是把你自己当成是“学生”，处于被动地位，而要不断的把自己摆放到“先生”的位置上，采取主动，产生不同的想法来。

F . Man's alien! ion span is very short- In order to capture a viewer's attention, television must provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. In doing so, news is rather short, and it results in inefficient communication; much of the news is like "machine-gunning with scraps", and it destroys the coherence of thought. The TV's appeal to the short attention span is decivilizing as well. A voiding complexity means sacrificing thought. Among adult Americans, there are more and more "functionally illiterate" people, who even cannot answer the want ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle. At least, TV is partly responsible for this. Television, since its first prevalence over radio in the 1950s, has played a more and more important role in people's lives. Some are of the opinion that TV is enlightening. It has become so much a part of human life that a modern world without television is unimaginable. But I, on the other hand, argue against TV. I think TV's disadvantages outweigh its advantages. I want to draw your attention to the fact that television is decivilising. In the first place, watching TV takes too much of our time. Children rush to TV immediately after school. Some people sit in front of TV all day long. In this way, reading is entirely ignored. Do you remember the days when we had no TV? We read stories, listened to radio programs from which we benefited a lot. I dare say that the generation accompanied by TV will be less literate. In the second place, watching TV doesn't involve much thinking. When we take up reading, we need to think and imagine before we can thoroughly understand the writer. However, when we watch TV, what we have to do is to open our eyes and enjoy whatever is shown. Little by little we will become slow in thinking. F. 14F. 15 F.

Unit 1 The Power of Language Text A Pre-reading Questions 1.Do you usually challenge the idea an author represents? What do you think is active reading? 2.What suggestions do you expect the author will give on reading critically? Critical Reading Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement. Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying ,and forming your own opinions about what the author is saying. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader. 批判性阅读 批判性阅读适合于那种作者提出一个观点或试图陈述一个说法的纪实类写作。批判性阅读是积极阅读。它不仅仅包括理解作者说了些什么，还包括质疑和评价作者的话，并对此形成自己的观点。成为一名批判性阅读者需要做到以下几点。 Consider the context of what is written. You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author. 考虑写作背景。你所读的可能是与你有不同文化背景的人所写的，或者是与你有不同时代背景的人多年以前所写的。无论哪种情况，你都必须注意并考虑你的价值观和态度与作者所代表的价值观和态度有何不同。 Question assertion s made by the author. Don’t accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any assertions made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support. Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities. 质疑作者的论点。不要轻信作品的表面意思。在接受作者观点前，首先要确定作者作出的每一个论点都有足够
