Ⅴ. Reading comprehension:

For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.

Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.

Y oung adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a “bachelor”apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.

“I’m glad of t hat,”answered the stranger. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down the man’s throat if he tried to speak. The girl’s voice was something quite charming, however, and presently he spoke again.

He had wished a dozen times for the warm old hunting rig in which he had many a day confronted the worst of weather in the Northwest.

Ⅴ. Reading comprehension:

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour, assuming he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.”

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.

1.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to_____.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/885964181.html,plain personally to the manager

B.threaten to take the matter to court

C.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

D.show some written proof of the purchase to the store

2.If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it’s better to complain to ______.

A. a shop assistant

B. the store manager

C. the manufacturer

D. a public organization

3.The most effective complaint can be made by ________.

A.showing the faulty item to the manufacturer

B.explaining exactly what is wrong with the item

C.saying firmly that the item is of poor quality

D.asking politely to change the item

4.The phase “ live up to” (Para. 1, Line 2) in the context means _______.

A. meet the standard of

B. realize the purpose of

C. fulfill the demands of

D. keep the promise of

5.The passage tells us __________.

A.how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty item

B.how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item

C.how to avoid buying a faulty item

D.how to deal with complaints from customers

Ⅵ. Rewrite the following sentences as instructed:

1.It’s time for us to do something and bid farewell to all rude manners. (use “It’s time + clause”)

2.Although he has learned English for only one year, he can talk fluently with native speakers of English.

3.I am writing to complain strongly about the bad service of your restaurant.. (use the n. form of

“complain”)

Ⅶ. T ranslate the following sentences into English:

Ⅴ. Reading comprehension:

Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage (污水). On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting (稀释) wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious (有害的). To feed our rapid expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.

There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled (缩小). The first relates to the treat ment of waters to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents (污水), or permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.

A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure (肥料) is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for their waste products.

1.The purpose of this passage is _________ .

A.to alert the reader to the dwindling water supply

B.to explain industrial uses of water

C.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems

D.to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem

2.Which of the following points is not included in the passage?

A.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.

B.Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water.

C.Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.

D.Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.

3.The reader can conclude that _________ .

A.countries of the world will work together on pollution problems

B.byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace

C.science is making great progress on increasing water supplies

D.some industries are now making economic use of wastes

4.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of _______ .

A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controls

B.opinions and personal observations

C.definitions which clarify important terms

D.strong arguments and persuasions

5.The words “prior to” (Para. 2) probably mean ___________ .

A. after

B. during

C. before

D. beyond

Ⅵ. Rewrite the following sentences as instructed:

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去,留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时,我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意:竖起耳朵,闭上嘴巴,但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室,大步走了进去。然而,进了教室,我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢?犹豫再三,我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课,”教授开始上课。天哪,我还以为这里是文学课呢!我的脖子后面直冒冷汗,摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室,却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办?上课途中就站起来走出去?教授会不会生气?大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上,尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿,便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去,就在这时,我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了,我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间,我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过,然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里,我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是,食堂里所有的学生都站了起来,鼓掌欢呼,我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景,而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里,我独自品尝羞辱,用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天,我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物,踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候,我对他满怀同情。他站起身,咧嘴大笑,双手紧握高举在头顶上,做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂,可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻,我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

第五单元练习册答案 TEX TⅠ Comprehension A. Give an exact reference as evidence that each of the following statements is wrong. (P63) 1. The 2nd paragraph is totally devoted to explaining why the author has not got a home phone. He also explains why he doesn’t like to use a public telephone box. 2. When the writer writes that he does not like the telephone, he means only home and office phones. He doesn’t like public telephones, either. He thinks that using a public phone box is a horrible thing to do. 3. In the 3rd paragraph the writer seems to indicate that usually people don’t answer the telephone when they are busy with something else. He says no matter how busy anyone is or what he is doing, he will try to answer the telephone because he thinks there may be some important news or message for him. 4. In the 5th paragraph the writer claims that it is convenient to have one’s number listed in the telephone directory. He thinks it unwise for anyone to have his name and telephone number printed in the telephone directory. 5. In the 5th paragraph the writer implies that Shakespeare, the Bible and the telephone directory can be found anywhere. He indicates that a telephone directory can be found in more places than Shakespeare or the Bible. 6. In the 6th paragraph the writer suggests that one needs a telephone in case of emergency. He says that even in case of emergency it is not necessary to have a telephone, because in England one is seldom far from a telephone. B. Explain the following in your own words. (P64) 1. ... or pose as unusual. ... or pretend to be uncommon / out of the ordinary. 2. ... flavored with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking ... ... filled with the odour of women’s low quality face-powder and the smell left behind by the ceaseless smoking of cigarettes ... 3.

1) The reason why little girl like Barbie very much is that she looks like real people and can be dressed up in a perfect way. 2) Man-made objects, though out-numbered by natural objects, play a more and more important role in people’s life. 3)The number of man-made object is increasing steeply, compared with the number of natural objects as well as its actual number. 4) The little girl of today would gladly use their old Barbie to exchange the new version of Barbie whereas their mother or grandmother would be reluctant to throw away their dolls until they fall-apart simply, because they are too old nothing could be more obvious than the difference between them. 5)The societies and people that are used to poverty reject the practice of using one product only for once or a short time and then replace it by a new one. 6) It is meaning that less for a man who is fairy old to say that he wants to develop a hobby in this or that form. 7)It is sensible that you further develop the hobby; you already have instead of trying to cultivate a new one. 8)Taking up a hobby and living a more regularized way of life are the most effective way to save them from their boredom. 9)The long hour’s work in the office or factory provides these people with the money so they can live their lives and gives them a strong desire for the simplest pleasure. 10)In fact, it is highly likely that those people who take their work as their pleasure are need to divert their effort from work from time to time urgently. 11)The ability to do the right thing at the right time is essential to a good leader. 12) A leader must be good at exercising his authority (this is a quality that a leader must have) and be able to demonstrate to the people that he does. 13) A leader should find out what the people want to do or have, and guide them to achieve it. 14) If we are not powerful, determined and brave, we can’t except to f ind a good leader, no matter how skilled we are in shopping images, we can’t make him to be what he is not, he is only a representative of all of us. 15) John Dewey has said seriously that the degree that someone’s behavior can influence the custom is the same as the degree that his body talk can influence his mother tongue. 16)The result from a serious study of the custom which is not influence by the outside shows that what Dewey said is just an objective description of the fact. 17) If we still think that our culture is superior to those of the people who we regard as uncivilized, underdeveloped or irreligious, the study anthropology must be meaningless. 18)W e must realized that all the beliefs are based on the same thing, the intangible and should be treated equally along with our own. 19)I believe that people in the society high above me are selfless, pure, noble and very intelligent. 20)But it is difficult for a man of the working class to improve his social status, especially when he was full of objectives and imaginations 21)It is physically strong, and they profited a lot by exploiting my strength, but I only lived a poor life. 22)He was no longer strong enough to make money by selling his strength and had nothing left to him, he had no other choice, but to slide down to the bottom of the society and die there in misery. 23) After 100 years, the black people is still suffering in the isolated part of American society, and he feels like an outcast in his own country. 24) We can see very clearly that as far as the black people are concerned, America didn’t fulfill its promise. 25) We are here to demand the fulfillment of the promises which can guarantee us our freedom and justice. 26)This is not the right time to calm down and adopt gradualism, waiting patiently for a solution.

第二单元推迟的艺术 "今天能做的事情决不要推到明天。”切斯特菲尔德伯爵在1794年劝告儿子时说道,但是这位文雅的伯爵却从没有抽出时间来完成与孩子母亲的婚礼,也没有戒除让约翰逊博士此类名人在接待室久候的坏习惯,这足以证明,即使是有心人,也绝非毫无拖延,罗马的一位大将军昆塔斯费边马克西姆斯为了赢得尽可能多的喘息机会,推迟战斗时间,被冠以“拖延者”。摩西为了使自己向法老传递耶和华法令过程中的犹豫合理化,颓唐语言有缺陷,当然,哈姆雷特把延迟上升为一种艺术形式。 世界上的人基本上可以分成均匀的两半:拖延者和马上行动者。有些人二月份就准备好了个人所得税,预先偿还抵押借款,在常人难以忍受的6点半钟准时吃饭,而另外一些人则乐于在9点或10点钟时吃些剩菜剩饭,错放帐单和文件以期延长缴税的期限。他们非要等到警告声变成恐吓声才肯去支付信用卡的帐单。就象浮士德所遭遇的那样,他们推迟去理发店,看牙医或医生。 尽管延误会带来诸多不便,但延迟经常可以激发和唤醒具有创新意识的灵魂。写下许多成功小说和剧本的作家琼克尔说到,她要把厨房每个汤罐头和酱瓶子上的标签看上一遍后,才能安心坐在打字机旁。许多作家都关注着他们任务之外的大小琐事,譬如关注在缅因州法国人海湾和巴尔海港进行的海岸和土地测量,其中的地名,如古今斯暗礁、不伦特池塘、海鸥小山、伯恩特豪猪、朗豪猪、希波豪猪以及鲍尔德豪猪岛,都激起了他们的想象。

从“拖延者”年代到当今世纪,推迟的艺术实际上被军事(“赶快和等一下”)、外交和法律垄断了。在过去的年代里,英国殖民地总督可以手中拿着杯酒,安逸的思考民族叛乱的形势,他应该庆幸没有电传和打印机在一旁喋喋不休地传递着命令,一会儿是增加机关枪啊一会儿又是增派军队啊。直到二战时,美国将军还可以和敌方将军达成协议,休一天运动假,去掠夺村民的鸡和酒,明日再战。律师是世界上最上瘾的延误者。据一个来自贝弗利山的,号称从不拖延的推销员弗兰克.内森叙说,“没有留下遗嘱就去世的律师数不胜数。” 无志者,事也成。当然,慢性拖延和刻意拖延是有差别的,特别是在高层商业中。美国银行集团总裁理查德·曼德巴赫说,企业动态学鼓励谨慎行事,由此滋生了延迟。他提到,快速行动往往会进入尴尬的局面和付出沉重的代价,数据爆炸刺激了一些懒惰的人以此为借口——另一个报告等着读,另一个权威等着咨询。曼德巴赫说:“数据的充足和泛滥之间总有条微妙的分界线。” 他的观点广为接受。官僚化在政府负担日益加重和社会形势的日益复杂的温室中滋长。它旨在用条文主义、妥协和重新评估来包庇政策制定者——以此防止做出草率决定。水门事件时期的政府所表现出来的中央集权化已经蔓延至经济机构等等广阔的领域,使得拖延成为世界范围的一种生活方式。有关推迟的短语星罗棋布在各种语言中——从西班牙的manana(在将来某个不确定时间)到阿拉伯的bukrafilmishimash(字面意思是“明天的杏树”,其含义是“等到花儿也开了”。) 学术界也很尊崇拖延。南加利福尼亚大学社会学家伯纳德*斯克拉每天辛辛苦苦才写出三至五页的东西来。他坦称:“我很多朋友对着白纸是都感到很痛苦。我们有很多合理的理由;教学压力,家庭责任,查看新书,搜索注脚。” 心理学叫坚决认为女人是最坚持不懈的迟延者,虽然很多心理学家(每小时加收50美金)本人就非常拖拉。拉尔夫*格林森博士是加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的临床精神病疗法的教授(他曾是玛丽莲*梦露的精神病医师),看待延迟时比较温和。他说:“很多人都在回避,逃避,拖延揭露真相的那一刻,直到最迟的极限为此。”但是佐治亚州心理学家乔恩*费根认为,迟延是潜意识用来区分事情重要性级别的一种方式。“当我拖延时,一般总是存在着某种缘由。”费根说,“我能感觉到它,但是我也说不出个之所以然。” 事实上,迟延有着悠久而光荣的历史,它意味着如果推迟些许时间,许多主意和决定就有可能得到改善,推迟做决定本身就是一个决定,这不无道理。议会过程的实质就是一个迟延和慎重的体系。就此而论,名画,乐章,书籍或者布兰西姆府邸的建筑物也是如此。布兰西姆府邸耗用了马尔伯勒公爵的建筑师及工人们15年的时间才建成。在这个过程中,设计可能不断成熟及完善。确实,仓促会葬送了雅致。《时之剑》的作者T*H*怀特曾写道,时间“并不是注定要一小时一小时,或者一天一天的耗费掉,而是应该细腻地、缓慢地、从容地品尝一番。”换句话说,我们应该这样说:今天不必要做的事,无论如何要推到明天来完成。 第三单元墙壁与障碍 我父亲立即对位于纽约市第43大街和第5大道交汇处的银行大楼作出了明确反应。“你不会看见我把钱存在那的!”他断言,“不会存在那个玻璃箱子里的!” 我的父亲当然是一名守旧的绅士,对他们那代人来说,大量现代的建筑都会让人身心交疲。但是我怀疑—我不只是怀疑,我确信—他之所以会做出消极反应,与其说是因为建筑物,倒不如说是人们侵犯了他对金钱本质的看法。 他们那一代人把金钱看成是像金条、钞票和硬币这样有形的物品,可以拿起,可以携带,也可以被人偷走。因此,为了吸引明智的人经常存钱,银行必须要建有厚重的墙壁、装了栅栏的窗户和青铜制成的大门,以便证明金钱存在银行里面是安全的的这一情况,而不管这个情况是多么不真实。如果一座大楼的设计在表面上看起来固若金汤,那么这一机构必然安全,厚重的墙壁作为一种建筑象征,其意义就在于它表示了人们对金钱的普遍态度,而不在于它在美学理论上展现出来的美感。 但是那样一种看待金钱的态度当然已经改变了,除了零用钱之外,人们现在几乎不用任何形式的现金。金钱作为一种有形物品在很大程度上被信用这种簿记银行业务的东西代替了。巨大的扩展伴随着经济赤字,让我们认为金钱是创造性想象的产物。银行家不再为我们提供一种服务,其中最为重要的东西就是干劲和发明巨大数目的创造力。考虑到他们态度上的这一改变。我们正在见证拥有厚重墙壁的银行小时也就根本不足为奇了。我父亲非常不信任制造商信托银行,因为它是一个巨大的立方体玻璃笼子。虽然其内部灯火通明,甚至可与朗朗晴日相媲美,但是它根本就没有把其通往金库的门道隔离起来,也没有派人把守,相反却把它装饰成了一个展示的橱窗。 就像先前的银行断言自己牢不可破一样,这家银行也以其建筑具有想象力而感到自豪。从这一点来说,人们很难说清楚建筑在什么地方结束,人类的断言在什么地方开始。事实上,两者没有这样的分界线,它们合二为一,是相同的。 新的建筑批判主义把建筑理解成为表达人类态度、偏见、禁忌和想法的一种媒介。这正是它与古典美学的不同之处。后者依赖纯粹的比例和布局等这些因素来作为其艺术判断的基础,在一个社会和心理学的时代,墙壁已不仅仅是墙壁,

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然,如果不立即采取行动,她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语,护士会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字?” 8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。 10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在,偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛,用拳头堵住嘴,想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧,因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时,一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭,她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后,又立即作了回答。护士一边说,一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头,她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿,小男孩不再哭了,他睁开眼睛,用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头,小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血,小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命,没有比这更伟大的爱了。

Unit 1 恰到好处 Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective (模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose. 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。 The French have an apt(贴切的) phrase for this. They speak of “le mot juste,” (the exact word) the word that is just right. Stories are told of scrupulous(一丝不苟的) writers, like Flaubert, who spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right. Words are many and various; they are subtle(微妙的) and delicate(细腻的) in their different shades(色调)of meaning, and it is not easy to find the ones that express precisely(正是,恰恰) what we want to say. It is not only a matter of having a good command of language and a fairly wide vocabulary; it is also necessary to think hard and to observe accurately. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. Someone once remarked: “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?” this sounds stupid, but there is a great deal of truth in it. 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。 It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings. The exact use of language gives us mastery(掌握) over the material we are dealing with. Perhaps you have been asked “What sort of a man is so-and-so(某某等)?” You begin: “Oh, I think he’s quite a nice chap (家伙)but he’s rather…” and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to express what it is about him that
