Unit 1 恰到好处 你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去,一钉到底。语言也是如此。一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。差不多的词,不准确的短语,摸棱两可的表达,含糊不清的修饰,都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。他会一直思考,直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。 法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思,即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事,比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。在浩瀚的词海中,词与词之间有着微妙的区别,要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题,还需要人们绞尽脑汁,要观察敏锐。选词是认识过程的一个步骤,也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。有人说:“在我思想未成文之前,我怎么知道自己的想法?”这听起来似乎很离谱,但它确实很有道理。 寻找恰如其分的词的确是件不容易的事。一旦找到了那个词,我们就会感到很欣慰:辛劳得到了回报。准确地用语言有助于我们深入了解我们描述的事物。例如,当有人问你:“某某是怎么样的人?”你回答说:“恩,我想他是个不错的家伙,但他非常……”接着你犹豫了,试图找到一个词或短语来说明他到底讨厌在哪里。当你找到一个恰当的短语的时候,你发觉自己对他的看法更清楚,也更精确了。 一些英语词汇词根相同而意义却截然不同。例如human 和humane,二者的词根相同,词义也相关,但用法完全不同。“ human action (人类行为)”和“humane action ( 人道行为)”完全是两码事。我们不能说“人道权力宣言”,而是说“人权宣言”。有一种屠杀工具叫“humane killer ( 麻醉屠宰机),而不是human killer ( 杀人机器)。 语言中的坏手艺的例子在我们身边随处可见。有人邀请一名学生去吃饭,他写信给予回复。请看他的信是这样结尾的:“我将很高兴赴约并满怀不安(anxiety )期待着那个日子的到来。”“Anxiety” 含有烦恼和恐惧的意味。作者想表达的很可能是一种翘首期盼的心情。“Anxiety” 跟热切期盼有一定的关联,但在这个场合是不能等同的。 乌干达一政党领袖给新闻界的一封信中有一句这样写道: 让我们打破这自私、投机、怯懦和无知充斥的乌干达,代之以真理,刚毅,坚定和奇异的精神。 这一激动人心的呼吁被最后一个词“奇异(singularity)” 的误用破坏掉了。我猜想作者真正要表达的意思是思想的专一,即抱定一个信念永不改变,咬定青山不放松,不被次要的目的干扰。而singularity 指的是古怪,特性,是将一个人从众多人中区分出来的那种东西。 即使没有出现词语误用,这词仍可能不是符合作者意图的恰如其分的词。一名记者在一篇有关圣诞节的社论中这样引出狄更斯的话: 任何有关圣诞节的想法和文字已经被禁锢(imprisoned )在这句话中……“Imprisonment” 暗示着强迫,威逼,这么一来似乎意思是有悖其初衷的。用“包含(contained )”或“归结(summed up )”就要好些。“概括(epitomized)”也行,尽管听起来有点僵硬。稍微再用点心我们就能准确地找到“mot juste (恰倒好处的词) ”,那就是“distilled”.它比包含和归结语气更强。“Distillation (提炼)”意味得到本质(essence)的东西。因此我们可以进一步把这个句子修改为: 所有有关圣诞节的想法和文字的精华都被提炼到这句话之中。

Unit Four 看不到的贫穷/穷人 在美国,数以百万计的穷人日趋隐形。虽然他们的群体是如此的庞大,但是要看到他们非得有足够的智慧和意志不可。 我是亲自通过一种奇特的方式发现这一点的。在我完成第一篇有关美国贫困的文章后,所有的统计数字就都跃然纸上了。令我感到满足的是,我总算证明出在这个国家有大约50,000,000穷人。但是我意识到我并不相信自己得出的数字。穷人存在于政府的报告中,仅仅是一系列长长的而且紧紧相连的栏目中的数字和百分比,并未溶入我的经历。我能够证明另一个美国的存在,但却从未去过那里。 有些长期造成的原因使另一个美国成为一个看不到的国度。 贫穷常常产生在人迹罕至的地方。而且总是如此。普通游客从来不会离开主干道,而现在他往来于洲际高速公路。他不去宾夕法尼亚的山谷,那里的市镇宛如电影里的三四十年代威尔士的场景。他没有看到一排排的工厂住房和布满车辙的马路(无论是住在城市、乡镇或农场,穷人的路都不好走),所有的东西都黑乎乎脏兮兮的。即使游客碰巧经过这些地方,他也不会见到酒吧里的失业男人和彻头彻尾的血汗工厂里收工回家的妇女。 其次,美景和神话是贫穷永久的面具。旅游者在宜人的季节来到阿巴拉契亚山。他看到了山川,溪流,树叶——但没有贫穷。或者也许他看着一栋破败的山居,更多联想到的是卢梭而不是用他的眼睛进行仔细观察,于是他断定“那些人”真的很幸运,能够按照自己的方式生活,能够幸运地免除中产阶级的紧张和压力。他们唯一的问题是“那些人”,那些山中奇特的居民,没有受过良好的教育,生活水平低下,缺乏医疗保障,正处在被迫离开土地涌入城市讨生活的过程,而在城市里他们无所适从。 这些都是造成贫穷隐形的正常而且显而易见的原因。这些原因几十年前就起作用,此后几十年将继续起作用。更为重要的是要知道随着美国社会的发展,一种新型式的对贫穷的忽视正在出现。穷人正在逐渐从人们的经历和意识中淡出。 如果说中产阶级从来就不喜欢丑陋和贫穷,至少他们以前知道有这么回事儿。“在贫民区”并不是很远的一段路。圣诞节时他们会涉足贫民窟,也有慈善机构与穷人保持联系。只要到商业区工作或娱乐,几乎每个人都时不时经过黑人聚居区或廉价公寓区。 现在美国的城市被改造了,穷人们依然居住在市中心极差的住宅群里,但是他们逐步与外界孤立,无法进入任何人的视线。中产阶级妇女难得进城在剧院里消磨一个晚上,途中可能会瞥见另一个美国,但他们的孩子被隔离在郊外的学校里。商人或职员们可能驾车或搭公车经过贫民窟的边缘,但这对他们来说并不算是一个很重要的经历。那些一败涂地的,无一技之长的,伤残的,年老的以及少数民族(弱势群体)就在那里,他们一直以来就住的贫民窟里。但是除此之外,那里没有任何其他人。 总而言之,美国城市的发展把贫穷状况从人们的生活当中消除,从成百上千美国中产阶级的情感体验中消除。幽居在郊区,人们很容易想象,我们的社会确实是富足的。 更糟的是,这种对贫穷的新的隔离混合着一种善意的无知。很多富有同情心的美国人都清楚有许多关于城市改建的讨论。当他们驾车经过市区时,突然注意到一个熟悉的贫民窟被推倒,曾经是廉价公寓和简易房子的地方屹立起现代化的高楼大厦,一种温暖的满足感油然而生。他们为问题的解决感到由衷欣慰:很显然,穷人受到很好的关照。 具有讽刺意味的是:事实跟这种印象恰恰截然相反。美国战后各种各样的住房项目所造成的总的影响是把越来越多的人塞进现有的贫民窟中……。着装也使穷人们趋于隐形。美国的穷人是全世界穿得最好的穷人。由于多种原因,大规模生产带来的好处在这一领域比其它领域分布得更平均。在美国,一个人轻而易举就可以穿着体面,但说到体面的居住环境,良好的饮食和医疗条件就是不那么容易了。即使收入来源十分窘迫的人也能穿的有模有样,看

Unit 7 一、单元语法 本单元主要涉及动词不定式。动词不定式的基本形式是“to+动词原形”。动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,因此在句子中可以作主语、宾语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语。 1.作主语 动词不定式作主语时常常用it作形式主语,动词不定式(或短语)放在后面。例如:It’s easy to get lost in a big city like Tokyo.在东京这样的大城市容易迷路。 It is terrible to see the ship sinking into the sea.目睹轮船沉入大海,真是太可怕了。 2.作宾语 I don’t want to lend him my bike.我不想把自行车借给他。 有的动词不定式在作带有补足语的宾语时,前面往往带有形式宾语it。例如: Do you think it is necessary for us to take extra courses? 你认为有必要学习额外的课程吗? 3.作表语 My job is to take care of the flowers in the garden.我的工作是照料花园里的花。 4.作宾语补足语 The teacher asked me to hand in my paper.老师让我把论文交上去。 5.作定语

动词不定式作定语时,要放在它所修饰的名词或代词后面。例如: In my dreams I always have very difficult jobs to do.我在梦里总是做一些艰难的工作。 6.作状语 (1)表示目的 He gets up early to catch the train.为了赶火车,他起得很早。 (2)表示结果:动词不定式作状语表示结果时常与副词too或enough连用。例如: The box is too heavy to carry.这个盒子太重,搬不动。 The Californian ship arrived too late to save more people. 加利福尼亚号来得太晚,没能挽救更多的人。 7.和某些形容词连用。和动词不定式经常连用的形容词有 sure,ready,happy,sorry,afraid等。例如: I’m glad to see you.很高兴见到你。 I’m sorry to trouble you.很抱歉打扰你了。 8.和疑问词who, what, when, where, which, how构成不定式短语作宾语。例如: I don’t know when to set off.我不知道什么时候动身。 Can you tell me how to get to the railway station? 你能告诉我怎么去火车站吗? 9.一些感官动词或使役动词接不定式短语作宾语补足语时,不定式标志to省略,如,let, make, see, watch, hear等。 The boss made them work 10 hours a day.老板每天让他们工作10小时。 I heard her play the piano last night.昨天晚上我听见她在弹钢琴。
