Illusions of pastoral peace

Though city born and city bred, I have a preference for country life. As the song reads, “Down by yon shady harbor. The thrushes they were warbling. The violets they were charming.”Nothing can be compared with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.

Here comes the first point. Early man lived in woods and forests, plains, jungles, close to nature and kind to nature. They lived in harmony. Watch the first glow of sunshine shed on the brunches and feathers of a variety of birds and peacocks. Walk down the path to watch the monkey families. Pick up petals of flowers or count the stars into the night and lie down to embrace with the earth, the grass, and the pureness. What exist in the city? We see men chasing for the chances, money, status, glory, fame, and rank. Everything but the serene moments for our heart and mind to relax. Even a pure peasant will be like them if he should live there up to a year. It’s not that city men are all of these, but pretty

well. And the next question, when it comes to the foggy weather that would kill tens of hundreds of people, would you still vote for the city life? Justice is a thing that the nature holds. She always keeps an eye on our city life. When she finds factories emitting poisonous gases into the atmosphere, she would say,” Bring foggy weather to them so as to teach them a lesson”

Too much pollution! Air pollution, water pollution, solid objects pollution… Foggy weather is such that it’s a black picture compared with the mist rising from the trees and smokes rising from the chimney. Which, the latter would be a picture describing it as if we were in the heaven.

What would you suppose on seeing the photo where peasants in a cottage go to have dinner under the same tree? A true heaven?

Here comes the second point.

We all have the same feeling that people living next door in one apartment may not greet with us even in a year or more. They may choose to hurt their noses rather than saying hello to us. Even some of them are too jealous, mean and shrewd to the extent that a mere

thought or mention about them may make us disgusted.

When it comes to a jealous, mean and shrewd neighbor, would you still vote for the city life?

But neighbors in a cottage may borrow needle and thread, but they would return them even ahead of schedule. When they return them, we may give them some produce like corn, bread, and flour. Even so, we may still be very glad. Because it’s a heart-to-heart talk.

Cottage neighbors are pure and good people. They have lived there for a long time. The precious heritage which is called pureness descends on from generation to generation. They are born to be pure!

When it comes to food safety, would you still vote for the city life?

The country dwellers never experience anxieties of this sort. They work on the land day and night, wishing the crop to grow up, and then have a good harvest. Because it’s organic farming, they may not worry about any poisonous drugs adding to the produce. What’s more, they can have fun when working on the land. Of which the ability is scanty in the city. Children in the country may start cooking, breeding the animals,

taking care of the old, sewing and washing clothes at an early age. But it may be completely different in the city. Some of the children there are born to enjoy. They may not understand what the meaning of “independence” is. Worse still, they may stay in their parents’ houses and be bred to their death.

I’m eager for living with animals, trees and log cabin. A mere thought of this may make me go into raptures. Turkeys, turtles, fish, deer, bears, monkeys, squirrels, thrushes, eagles, lions, beavers, koalas, bats and kangaroos. So many trees stand side by side, which make green waves from side to side. Dew glistens in all the colors of rainbow. If you delayed one hour, pleasure would surround you and all the troubles would be gone.

But look at the plants in the greenhouse!

When you have a heavy traffic or when you have swallowed too many car gases, would you still vote for the city life?

But look at this! Cars come and go without trouble.

A child climbs onto the ox and begins playing the flute.

Last but not least, people in the city have formed a bad habit. They prefer fast food restaurant to having

breakfast at home. They may start working at five or six o’clock. To be frank, I could do without being woken up at an early hour only to spoil my sound sleep. What’s more, people in the city may become couch potatoes because they sit on the couch and watch TV, eating junk food at the same time. Life in the country may not be as fast as that in the city. Though they lead a gentle life, they don’t fail to notice their health.

With all of this, would you still vote for the city life?

译文

宁静的田园生活的遐想

尽管生在城市长在城市，我偏爱乡村生活。正如歌中唱的那般，“沿着远处阴凉的湾边，画眉鸟在柔和地歌唱，紫罗兰花竞相开放。”没有什么能与第一声鸡鸣，黎明鸟儿的婉转鸣叫，以及升起的太阳光辉洒在树上和牧场上的景色相媲美。

这就引出了第一个话题。早期人类生活在树林，森林，平原，热带雨林，接近并亲近大自然。人与自然和谐相处。看一看那第一缕阳光倾泻在树枝上以及数不清的鸟儿和孔雀的羽毛上。沿山路向下走观察猴

子的家庭组织。摘下花瓣或数星星直至半夜，然后躺下，拥抱大地，拥抱草，拥抱那一份纯净。在城市中又能有什么呢？我们看到人们正在追逐机遇，金钱，地位，名誉，荣耀和头衔。所有你能想到的事物，除了能够让心灵歇息的宁静时刻。即使一位纯朴的老农如果在城市里住上一年也会变得和他们一样。这并不是说城里人都这样，但也几乎差不多了。下一个问题，当谈及会杀死成百上千人的雾霾天气时，你还会为城市生活摇旗呐喊吗？大自然是正义的。她一直注视着城里人的生活。当她发现工厂向大气排放有毒气体时，她就会说，“把雾霾带给他们，给他们城里人一个教训。”

太多的污染！大气污染、水污染、固体废弃物污染……雾霾天气是这般以至于和林间升腾的雾气以及檐上炊烟比起来，简直是一幅墨色的失望的画卷。后者更像是一幅描绘人间仙境的画卷。

当你看到这样一幅画，村落中的农民们在同一棵树下吃饭，你会想到什么呢？人间仙境？

这就引出了第二个话题。

我们都有同样的感受，那就是在一个公寓中的邻里可以一年甚至更长时间里不曾和我们打过招呼。他们更可能选择把鼻子碰破也不向我们问好。他们中有

些人甚至过于嫉妒心强，吝啬以及精明算计，到了什么地步呢？只想他或提他一下就够我们厌恶老半天了。

当谈及一个嫉妒心强，吝啬，精明算计的邻居时，你还会为城市生活摇旗呐喊吗？

尽管村里的邻居有可能向我们借针借线，但他们会很快归还甚至提前。当他们归还针线时，我们可能会给他们一些农产品，像玉米，馒头，面粉。尽管如此，我们仍然会很开心，因为这是心和心在对话。村里的人们是纯朴、善良的。他们长久生活在这里。一个叫做纯朴的遗产世代相传。他们生来就纯朴！

当谈及食品安全时，你还会为城市生活摇旗呐喊吗？

乡村的居民从不为此担忧。他们日夜不停地劳作在田间，盼望庄稼长起来，然后迎来一个大丰收。因为是有机农业，他们不用担心任何的有毒药品添加到农产品上。不止这些。他们在田间收获的是劳动的快乐。这种干农活的能力在城市是缺乏的。农村的孩子们可能很早就学会了做饭，喂食，照顾老人，缝纫及洗涤衣物。但在城市里截然相反。一些孩子生来就只会享受。他们可能不太理解什么叫做独立。更糟糕的是，他们可能住在父母家中，活到老啃到老。

我渴求和动物，树，小木屋一起生活。只是想一下就会让我狂喜一番。火鸡，乌龟，鱼，鹿，熊，猴子，松鼠，画眉，鹰，狮子，河狸，考拉，蝙蝠，还有袋鼠。树一排挨着一排，造出此起彼伏的翻滚着的绿浪。露水映出彩虹的色彩。只消停一个小时，快乐与你相伴，烦恼被抛向九霄云外。

但请看一看温室中生长的这些植物啊！

当交通拥堵发生抑或你吞了满口的汽车尾气时，你还会为城市生活摇旗呐喊吗？

但看看这个！汽车来来往往不会拥堵，一个牧童骑上黄牛，吹起了笛子。

最后。在城市的人们养成了一种坏习惯。他们更愿意去快餐店而不是在家吃早饭。他们可能早上五六点钟就开始工作。说实在的，我可不愿在很早的时候被叫醒，搅了我的好梦。还有什么，在城市的人们可能会变成沙发土豆，因为他们习惯坐在沙发上看电视，一边还吃着垃圾食品。乡村生活可比城市的要慢一些。尽管他们过慢生活，他们从不忽视自己的身体健康。有了这么多理由，你还会为城市生活摇旗呐喊吗？

An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses -- often three storeys high -- were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets. The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century . until Roman times. In the most sacred room of temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century . It's missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century . This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity. 1.

新概念第三册Lesson40~42课文及翻译 新概念第三册Lesson40课文及翻译 【课文】 It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke： the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information. The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and

Frank is now the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1938 he bought a small work-shop of his own. During the war Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. By the end of the war, the small work-shop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people.

Lesson 41 Illusions of pastoral peace Key to Composition Special Note: Pram this point in the course, while the Students' Book suggests a choice of two compositions, only one is chosen as a model. A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition Title: Give the country Introduction: Never understood city-lovers — city a place to visit, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, etc. — not live in Development: Advantages — living in country — quiet — more healthy — less traffic — fresh air — fresh food from farms or village shops — people polite and friendly. . . Disadvantages —living in city —noisy —dirty —stressful —people always in rush —rude, unfriendly Conclusion: Always a mystery why some country people say — like to live in city Composition I have never understood city-lovers. For me a city is a place to visit for a few hours, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, shows, plays and films. But it's not a place to live in, even though thousands do. Usually they are tied to the city by their jobs or perhaps even by family. There are so many advantages to living in the country. It is quiet and more healthy. There is far less traffic on the roads and the air is so much fresher. Instead of buying everything in packets from a supermarket, in the country we can always buy fresh food from farms or village shops every day — milk, fruit, fresh eggs, vegetables and meat. And we don't have to look at "Use by. . . " labels to see when we must use something by: we know that everything is fresh. And the people in the country are always so polite and friendly too — as long as you obey the unwritten rules of the countryside, that is. On the other hand, there are so many disadvantages to living in a town or city. The first thing most country people notice is the noise and dirt. It must be the traffic, but many country people find it difficult to breathe in the city. And it is stressful, too: people always seem to be in a rush, and they are so often rude and unfriendly. There are so many advantages to living in the country that it is a mystery to me why some country people say they would like to live the city. In fact, I just cannot understand how anyone can even consider living in the city.

新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解：Lesson34 新概念英语第二册语法Lesson 34 1. d 根据课文第3行Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police… 能够判断d. he didn’t know why the police wanted him 是感到焦虑的真正原因，所以应该选d. 其他3个选择都是课文提及的情况，但不是他焦虑的真正原因。 2. a 根据课文第8-9行Dan was most surprised… he never expected the bicycle to be found 能够判断，只有a. had probably forgotten all about his bicycle(可能把他的自行车早忘得一干二净了)符合当时的心情，是准确答案。其他3个选择都不符合他当时的心理感受。 3. b (c)yet (d)anymore 都不符语法,因为它们常用于否定句中,而本 句是肯定句. (a)even 不符合题意,应该同比较级连用才准 确;(b)still 能够用在肯定句中表示仍然,还,所以只能选(b)still 4. c a. had been finding 和 d. have been finding 都不是准确的 时态，动词find(找到)强调结果，不应该用实行时态; b. had been found语态不对，因为本句的主语是人，是动作的执行者，故不能用被动语态; c. had found最合乎时态和语态，所以只能选c 5. a

本句是对地点提问的疑问句，回答是In a small village,只有a. Where 是问地点的，所以a. 是准确答案，而其他3个选择都不是问 地点的。 6. d a. to 和 b. to be 都不合乎语法,因为以that引导的是从句,应 该有主语和谓语,而不应该是用to引导的动词不定式, c. they也不合乎语法,因为主句动词是过去式,从句也应该是过去时态. d. they would 是过去将来时,最合乎语法,所以只能选它. 7. c 本句有表示过去时间的状语twenty years ago(20年前)，所以应 该用一般过去时。a. stolen 是过去分词，不能做谓语;b. has stolen 是现在完成时，不合乎时态; d. was stolen 是被动语态， 不准确，因为本句的主语是人，是动作的执行者，应该用主动语态;只 有c. stole 是过去式，符合语法，所以应该选c. 8. b a. topical(话题的)， b. local(地方的，当地的)， c. native(出生地的，本地的，本国的)，d. neighbourly(友好的，睦邻的)。只有b. 最适合于这个句子，其他3个词都不合乎题目意思。 9. c 只有选c. on之后才表示“拜访”，最合乎题目意思和语法。 a. at 后面应该跟地点，而不应该跟人;b. in 不是准确表达方式;选d. up 之后表示“给……打电话”，不合乎题目意思。 10. b 只有选b. 才能同前一句The bicycle was picked up four hundred miles away(自行车是在400英里外发现的)意思相符。 Picked up (发现，拾到)同found意思最接近;而a. picked(挑选，

新概念第四册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson41

新概念第四册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson41 【课文】First listen and then answer the following question. 听录音，然后回答以下问题。At what point does the training of a captive wild elephant begin? Two main techniques have been used for training elephants, which we may call respectively the tough and the gentle. The former method simply consists of setting an elephant to work and beating him until he does what is expected of him. Apart from any moral considerations this is a stupid method of training, for it produces a resentful animal who at a later stage may well turn man-killer. The gentle method requires more patience in the early stages, but produces a cheerful, good-tempered elephant who will give many years of loyal service. The first essential in elephant training is to assign to the animal a single mahout who will be entirely responsible for the job. Elephants like to have one master just as dogs do, and are capable of a considerable degree of personal affection. There are even stories of half-trained elephant calves who have refused to feed and pined to death when by some unavoidable circumstance they have been deprived of their own trainer. Such extreme cases must probably be taken with a grain of salt, but they do underline the general principle that the relationship between elephant and mahout is the key to successful training. The most economical age to capture an elephant for training is between fifteen and twenty years, for it is then almost ready to undertake heavy work and can begin to earn its keep straight away. But animals of this age do not easily become subservient to man, and a very firm hand must be employed in the early stages. The captive elephant, still roped to a tree, plunges and screams every time a man approaches, and for several days will probably refuse all food through anger and fear. Sometimes a tame elephant is tethered nearby to give the wild one confidence, and in most cases the captive gradually quietens down and begins to accept its food. The next stage is to get the elephant to the training establishment, a ticklish business which is achieved with the aid of two tame elephants roped to the captive on either side. When several elephants are being trained at one time, it is customary for the new arrival to be placed between the stalls of two captives whose training is already well advanced. It is then left completely undisturbed with plenty of food and water so that it can absorb the atmosphere of its new home and see that nothing particularly alarming is happening to its companions. When it is eating normally, its own training begins. The trainer stands in front of the elephant holding a long stick with a sharp metal point. Two
