OF TERROR

Originally published: 9/12/2001

The morning coffee was still cooling when our grandest illusion was minutes,

one of New York's mightiest symbols was a smoldering mess and the n ation's image of

invincibility was made a lie.

恐怖的一日

最初发表于2001年9月12日

早晨的咖啡还没有凉，我们最宏伟的幻想却已被粉碎。在数分钟时间内，纽约最显赫的象征之一成了一堆余烟未尽的废墟，而这个国家不可战胜的形象也成了一个谎言。

2. As the World Trade Center crumpled and the streets filled with s creams and scenes of

unimaginable horror, choking smoke blotted out the sun and plunged lo wer Manhattan into

darkness.

当世界贸易中心倒塌、街道上到处都有人哭叫、充满难以想象的恐怖场景时，令人窒息的烟雾遮住了太阳，使曼哈顿下城区陷入了一片黑暗。

3. Those not entombed by the bomb-blasted buildings ran and ran —just as they did eight years

earlier, when another terror attack shook this mighty symbol of Ameri ca's power.

那些炸毁的大楼内未被掩埋的人跑啊跑——就像八年前另一次恐怖袭击震撼了这个美国力量的显赫标志一样。

4.For the rest of the country, there was another shock to digest —

a second kamikaze attack. This

time on the Pentagon.

对于美国其他地方的人们，还有另一次震惊需要承受——第二次自杀性袭击，这次是对准五角大楼的。

5. More horror. More amazement that the mighty United States could be so vulnerable to terror.

更多的恐怖，更大的混乱，更多的不可思议：强大的美国居然如此不堪恐怖分子一击。

6. But on the streets of lower Manhattan there was no time for f inger-pointing. No time for talk of revenge. People were dying. Cops and firefighters were dying with them.

但是在曼哈顿下城区街道上，人们此刻没有时间责难和怪罪，没有时间谈报复。人们在死去，警察和消防队员也随着一起在死去。

7. Commentators called the attack a second Pearl Harbor, until now o ur most tragic hour.

Politicians denounced the likely culprits in Afghanistan. And before d usk, there were inaccurate

reports that an angry America was raining revenge on Kabul.

新闻评论员称这次袭击是第二次珍珠港事件，该事件时至今日一直是我们最悲惨的时刻。政治家们谴责藏在阿富汗的可能的罪魁祸首。天暗之前，已有不太准确的报道，称愤怒的美国正对喀布尔采取连续不断的报复行动。

8. One day we will think back on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, a nd remember in crystal detail

what we were doing when the first plane crashed into the north towe r at 8:45 .

总有一天我们会回顾2001年9月11日的早晨，并清晰地记起上午八点四十五分第一架飞机撞击（世界贸易中心）北塔时我们在干什么。

9. And we will be amazed that we didn't think it possible before.

我们会感到惊奇，在此之前我们居然认为这不可能。

10. THE DAY AFTER

Originally published: 9/13/2001

When the sun rose yesterday, someone joked that the city was missing its two front teeth. But

there was nothing to laugh about in the aftermath of our generation' s Pearl Harbor.

一天以后

最初发表于2001年9月13日

昨天早上太阳升起的时候，有人开玩笑说纽约城少了两颗大门牙。然而，在我们这一代人的珍珠港事件发生之后，已没有什么可笑的事了

11. There was only wreckage and smoke and fire where the World Trad

e Center used to be.

Thousands remained buried under tons of rubble.

过去矗立着世界贸易中心的地方，现在只有废墟、烟雾和火焰。数千人被埋在了重重的瓦砾之下。

12. A handful of people were plucked from the wreckage in lower Man hattan, living reminders

that miracles do happen.

从曼哈顿下城区的废墟中拽出了几个人，这活生生的事例再次告诉我们，奇迹确实会发生。

13. But for those digging through the debris, every passing hour sap ped their strength and their

hopes of finding more victims alive.

但是对在瓦砾中挖掘的人们而言，逝去的每一小时都消耗着他们的力量，销蚀他们发现更多生还者的希望。

14. The rest of New York resembled a Third World capital after a p articularly explosive coup.

纽约的其他区域像是经历了一场特别猛烈的政变之后的一个第三世界国家的首都。

15. Armed National Guardsmen in helmets and camouflage rumbled through Manhattan in

convoys. The few people on the normally bustling streets watched them and only sometimes

waved.

全副武装、头戴钢盔、身着迷彩服的国民警卫队员的车队隆隆地驶过曼哈顿。往常熙熙攘攘的街道上只有少数几个人，他们看着国民警卫队员们开过去，有时也挥挥手。

16. New Yorkers waited at newsstands for the morning papers to arriv

e while anxious

relatives gathered at streetside morgues holding pictures of the disap peared.

纽约市民在报摊边等着早报到来，焦急的亲属们聚集在路边停放尸体地方的周围，手里举着失踪者的照片

17. In Washington, where the kamikaze terrorists severely damaged the nerve center of American military power, politicians beat war drums as our allies pledged solidarity and registered their

disgust.

在华盛顿，恐怖主义敢死队严重破坏了美国军事力量的神经中枢，政治家们擂起了战鼓，我们的盟国保证与我们团结一致，表达了他们对恐怖行为的深恶痛绝。

18. "This was not an act of terror," President Bush said. "This was an act of war."

“这不是一次恐怖行为，”布什总统说。“这是战争行为。

19. Investigators pointed fingers at the likely culprit in Afghanistan and began rounding up the

suicide bombers' suspected accomplices. The faces of the fanatics bega n to emerge.

调查人员指责藏在阿富汗的可能的罪魁祸首，并开始围捕那些制造自杀性爆炸者的可能的同谋。这些狂热分子的面孔开始显露。

20. They had jolted America with their surprise attack. But now —as after Pearl Harbor more

than half a century before —it was our turn.

他们以其突然袭击震惊了美国。但是现在，就像半个多世纪前珍珠港事件之后一样，该轮到我们行动了。

21. And the world waited to see what America would do.

世界翘首以待，看着美国会采取什么行动。

22. LOOKING BACK IN PAIN & HOPE

Originally published: 9/8/2002

Long before the Boeings brought down the towers, poet Percy Bysshe S helley wrote "grief returns with the revolving year." So it is with

New York.

在痛苦和希望中回顾

最初发表于2002年9月8日

早在那两架波音飞机撞倒双子塔之前很久，诗人珀西?比希?雪莱就写道“悲伤一年一轮回”。纽约也是这样。

23. The time it took the Earth to circle the sun was time enough

to clear the wreckage, but not

enough to fade the memory of what happened there.

地球绕太阳旋转一周的时间，足以清除废墟残骸，但是不足以磨灭对那里发生过的事情的记忆。

24. It was time enough to bury the bodies that could be found, but not enough to truly mourn the

thousands who perished.

一年的时间足以埋葬我们能够找到的尸体，却不足以真正哀悼数千名死者。

25. It was time enough to plan memorials, but not enough to fill t he gaping wound in lower

Manhattan.

一年的时间足以筹划纪念活动，却不足以填补曼哈顿下城区豁裂的伤口。

26. For what is a year but a thin sliver of history, a beat of

a hummingbird's wing?

因为一年的时间，不就是历史薄薄的一页，蜂鸟振翅拍打的一瞬间吗？

27. And yet, in the space of 12 months, the wounded city rose from its knees, angry America

smote the Taliban and sent Osama Bin Laden into hiding.

但是，在十二个月的时间内，受伤的纽约市站起来了，愤怒的美国狠狠地打击了塔利班，逼得乌萨马?本?拉丹只好躲藏起来。

28. A new generation of firefighters and cops tried to fill the sho es of those who were lost, a new

generation of orphans faced a future uncertain.

新一代的消防队员和警察前仆后继接替了死者的岗位，新一代的孤儿面对着未卜的前途。29. New Yorkers talked tough and carried on, but with far less swag ger and far less joy. They

remained haunted by what they had lived through, what they had seen.

纽约人谈吐的口气依然强硬，依然一如既往地生活，但是却少了许多洋洋自得和欢乐的成分。他们依然摆脱不了所经历和目睹的事情的阴影。

30. How could they not? Ground Zero is just a subway ride away. Ev eryone, it seems, knows

someone who did not come home Sept. 11. Everyone, it seems, was tou ched by the tragedy.

他们怎能不这样呢？零点地就在地铁一程之外。似乎每个人都认识一个在9/11那天离家未归的人，似乎每个人都被这场悲剧所触动。

31. There were indelible images that captured the carnage like flies

in amber —the planes

crashing, the towers on fire, the falling men and women frozen in f light as they leaped to their

deaths.

这次残杀的景象，就像琥珀中的苍蝇，永远不能磨灭——飞机的撞击、双塔起火燃烧、向死亡深渊纵身跳去的男男女女刹那间定格空中一动不动的景象，历历在目。

32. Now the calendar commands us to revisit Sept. 11. Now the calen dar commands us to

remember the dead. Now the calendar commands us to pick at a scab that has just begun to heal. 现在日历翻到了我们必须重温9/11的日子。现在日历要求我们纪念死者。现在日历要求我们触及刚开始愈合的伤疤。

33. But the calendar does not say how many more times the Earth ha s to revolve around the sun

before it stops hurting.

但是日历没有表明，地球还要围着太阳转多少圈，伤疤的疼痛才会消失。

34. ONE YEAR LATER

Originally published: 9/12/2002

On a day that broke as blue and beautiful as the morning a year a go when the planes toppled the towers, a brisk northwest wind kicked up the dust of Ground Zero. .

一年之后

最初发表于2002年9月12日

与一年前飞机撞倒双塔的那个早上一样，这一天早上天空湛蓝、阳光明媚，强劲的西北风吹起了零点

35. It coated the red roses that children carried into The Pit.

尘土覆盖在孩子们拿到大土坑的红玫瑰上。

36. It stung the eyes and clung to the tears of the brokenhearted who came to say farewell. .

尘土刺痛了前来送别的伤心欲绝的人们的双眼，粘在他们的泪水中。

37. It swirled like dervishes across the vast emptiness where the Wo rld Trade Center once stood. 尘土像伊斯兰教的托钵僧一样，在曾经耸立世界贸易中心的空荡荡的地方飞舞盘旋。

38. Some of the mourners divined in the dust the ghosts of those t hey lost, and they opened their mouths and breathed it in.

有些哀悼者虔诚地认为尘土中有他们逝去的亲人的阴魂，于是他们张开嘴，把尘土吸进。39. Some of the mourners saw in the dust visions from that deadly day when the very ground was on fire and the powder and smoke cake d the living and the dead.

有些哀悼者在尘土中看到了那个致命的日子的景象：大火就在这块土地上燃烧，灰尘和烟雾落在活人和死人身上积结成块。

40. Some of the mourners who never got a body to bury gathered han dfuls of the brown dust and

placed it in plastic bags to save and remember, to always remember.有些始终未能找到尸体掩埋的哀悼者将一把把褐色的尘土装入塑料袋留作纪念，留作永久的

纪念。

41. We will not revisit Sept. 11 the same way again.

我们再不会用同样的方法回顾9/11。

42. The ranks of the 24,000 who followed the bagpipers and drummer s down the ramp and into

the emptiness yesterday will thin.

昨天跟着风笛手和鼓手走下匝道、进入空地的那两万四千人的队伍，今后将日渐稀落。43. Fewer Americans will stop in their tracks at 8:46 . and registe r the moment when the first

hijacked plane crashed into the north tower.

不再会有那么多美国人在早上八点四十六分停下来，纪念那第一架被劫持的飞机撞进北塔的时刻。

44. Fewer candles will be lit. Fewer flags will be waved. Fewer s peeches will be made. Fewer

songs will be sung. Fewer tears will be shed, at least publicly.

不再会点燃那么多的蜡烛。不再会挥舞那么多的旗帜。不再会发表那么多的演说。不再会唱那么多的歌。不再会流那么多泪，至少在众人面前不会流那么多泪。

45. Instead, something new will fill the void where the towers stood . Something new will be built on the spot as a memorial to the 2, 801 who died. Something new will rise on the sacred 16 acres to sp ite the madmen who dared attack us.

相反，将有新的建筑物填补曾经矗立着双塔的空地，新的建筑物将在那里建起，作为两千八百零一名死者的纪念碑。新的建筑物将矗立在那神圣的十六英亩的土地上，让那些敢于向我们发起进攻的疯子见鬼去。

46. Poet Jean de La Fontaine wrote, "on the wings of time grief fl ies away."

诗人让?德?拉封丹写道“悲伤乘着时间的翅膀而远去”。

47. But the memory, like the dust, will linger.

但是记忆，就像那尘土，将不会很快消失。

Unit-10-Agriculture新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译讲课稿

Unit 10 Agriculture Farming for the Future [1] Every year, more people face poverty and hunger and more of the earth's resources are ruined. The problems are enormous, but many experts believe that the situation is not hopeless. The solution will require big changes in how we think about agriculture, food, and our planet. [2] First of all, farmers everywhere need to develop methods that are less destructive to the environment. The change from single crop farming to a mixed crop system would be one important step. The planting of several different crops improves the soil and helps prevent erosion. Erosion could also be prevented by planting trees to protect the fields from the wind. Another way farmers could improve the soil is to avoid deep plowing. In fact, only a slight plowing is necessary if proper methods are used. [3] If the soil were treated better, farmers would not need to use chemical fertilizers. They could use natural animal and vegetable products instead. With mixed crops, farmers would need fewer toxic chemical insecticides. They could use biological methods of controlling insects and disease. [4] Farmers could also help save the earth's precious supplies of water and petroleum. To save water, they could plant more water-efficient plants instead of the standard types of wheat or corn. They could also use watering systems that are much less wasteful. To save petroleum, farmers could make use of bio-gas generators which could be fueled by the vegetable and animal wastes of the farms. In less-developed countries, bio-gas generators could reduce the need for firewood and so help save forests, as well. [5] In less-developed countries, the small farmers need help. They need to learn more about crops that are better suited to local conditions. They need to learn how to limit erosion and make the best use of their resources. These farmers will never be successful without land and economic reform. This should be the aim of governments and international agencies. The current industrial and cash crop policies are only making the situation worse. [6] Industrialized countries could use their economic resources to help bring about these changes. They could make some changes in their own policies. At present, much food is wasted in these countries for political reasons. In Europe and in North America, tons of fruit and dairy products are thrown away every year. Eating habits, too, could be changed in these countries. For example, people often eat foods from distant places instead of local foods. The transportation of the imported foods adds to the global pollution problem. People in industrialized countries also eat a lot of meat, especially beef.

Unit-6-A-World-of-Mystery新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译

Unit 6 A World of Mystery The Bermuda Triangle [1] On 5th December 1945, Flight 19, which consisted of five US Navy planes, took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in fine weather. There was a total of fourteen men on board the planes. The planes were in good condition; they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds. One and a half hours after the take-off, a radio message from one of the planes was heard at the control tower at Fort Lauderdale. [2] "I don't know where we are." [3] After that the planes could no longer speak to the control tower, but they could speak to and hear each other, and the control tower could hear them. [4] "The magnetic compass is going crazy." [5] "We're completely lost." [6] No other messages were heard after that. Nobody else heard from the planes or saw them again. Three hundred planes and many boats searched the area, but not one trace of Flight 19 was found. Then one of the planes that was sent to look for them also disappeared completely. [7] These planes had disappeared in a very mysterious part of the world in the western Atlantic Ocean where lots of strange events have taken place. The mystery started long before 1945, and since that year many other ships and planes have also disappeared in this area. It is called the Bermuda Triangle. It is a large, triangular area of the ocean with the island of Bermuda at its northern tip. [8] Planes and ships disappear in other parts of the world, but there are more disappearances in the Triangle than in other areas. For years now scientists and others have been puzzled by this mystery. There have been many attempts to explain why people, planes and ships disappear in such high numbers here . [9] One writer, John Spencer, believes that the ships and planes have been carried off from the sea and sky by flying saucers or UFOs from another planet. Since there are millions of other planets in the universe, Spencer believes there must be other intelligent creatures somewhere in the universe. These creatures are interested in collecting humans and their equipment so that they can examine them carefully. [10] Another theory is that the geography of the area is responsible for the disappearances of the ships and planes. Bermuda lies on an earthquake belt. Underwater earthquakes result in large waves appearing suddenly. These waves are so big that they can break a ship into pieces. In the air, a similar thing can happen to airplanes because of

unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”，她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。 5 "Logic." “逻辑学。” 6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。”

新编大学英语3课文原文

Book 3 Unit 1 Personality The Misery of Shyness Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. All kinds of people describe themselves as shy: short, tall, dull, intelligent, young, old, slim, overweight. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly swirling in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? I'm ugly. I'm wearing unattractive clothes. It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. For instance, people who have a positive sense of self-worth or high self-esteem usually act with confidence. Because they have self-assurance, they do not need constant praise and encouragement from others to feel good about themselves. Self-confident people participate in life enthusiastically and spontaneously. They are not affected by what others think they "should" do. People with high self-esteem are not hurt by criticism; they do not regard criticism as a personal attack. Instead, they view a criticism as a suggestion for improvement. In contrast, shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is detrimental, or harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be "A" students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves as inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. People's expectations of themselves must be realistic. Dwelling on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy, and even feelings of envy, or jealousy. We

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4) Unit 1 享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？ 1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？ 2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。 3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。这么说是有道理的。 4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。” 5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。如果这个妙语含有一定的幽默成分，这个笑话便会很有趣。通常笑话都包含这三部分，而且每部分都必须交代清楚。如果讲故事或说笑话的人使用听众都熟悉的手势和语言，则有助于增强效果。 6 我们可以对幽默这种娱乐形式，进行分析，从而发现究竟是什么使一个有趣的故事或笑话令人发笑。举例来说，最常见的幽默有以下几种，包括了从最显而易见的幽默到比较微妙含蓄的幽默。 7 “滑稽剧”是最明显的幽默。它语言简单、直截了当，常常以取笑他人为乐。说笑打闹这种形式过去是、现在仍然是滑稽说笑演员和小丑的惯用技巧。它为不同年龄、不同文化背景的人们所喜爱。几乎本世纪的每个讲英语的滑稽说笑演员都曾以这样或那样的方式说过下面这则笑话。一位男士问另一位男士：“昨晚我看到的那位和你在一起的贵妇是谁？”那位男士回答道：“那可不是什么贵妇，那是我老婆。”这个笑话的幽默之处在于第二位男士说他的妻子不是一位贵妇，也就是说她不是一个高雅的女人。这个笑话并没有因为经常讲而变得不再那么好笑。由于这是一个经典笑话，观众都知道要说什么，而且因为大家对这个笑话很熟悉而更加珍爱它。 8 中国的相声是一种特殊的滑稽剧。相声中两名中国喜剧演员幽默地谈论诸如官僚主义者、家庭问题或其他一些有关个人的话题。相声随处都能听到，无论是在乡村的小舞台上，还是在北京最大的剧院里，抑或在广播、电视上。它显然是中国人家喻户晓的一种传统的幽默形式。 9 “俏皮话”不像滑稽剧那样浅显，它是因语言的误用或误解而引人发笑。我特别喜欢

UNIT 2 Remembering and Forgetting In-Class Reading Special Delivery 特种快递 到了机场，我才发现我兄弟搭乘的航班延误了一个小时。通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。 当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。我这才意识到公文包没在身上。我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传送。我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，当代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，突然消失了。 “你看到你的包了？”代理问我。 “是的！”我大声说。“它刚穿过那边那个入口。这下我怎样才能把它取回来呢？” “这不难，”代理回答说。“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们能够在装机前截住它。” “可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。我是来接人的。”我平静了一下情绪，解释了事情的经过，并指出很可能有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其他行李一起办了托运并放到了传送带上。 代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一办法是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特征。等我填完表格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。 我兄弟的航班到了。我们取了他的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了他。到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。原以为已丢失的公文包其实根本就没有被带进机场！它一直躺在后座的地上。我意识到，此时此刻航空公司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐一检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。一想到要打电话告诉他们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。 我们进屋时电话铃正响着。接电话时，我惊呆了。电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我们有好消息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应该到这里。午夜后不久便
