Unit 1 Communication Problems

In-Class Reading Speaking Different Languages

说不同的语言

1 当火星人和金星人最初在一起时，也遇到了我们目前存在的许多人际关系问题。他们之所以能够解决这些问题，是因为他们认识到了相互之间的差异。他们成功的秘诀之一就是良好的沟通。

2 具有讽刺意味的是，他们沟通的成功却是因为他们说着不同的语言。遇到问题时，他们会去找翻译帮忙。他们每个人都清楚火星人和金星人语言不同，因此，一旦遇到冲突，他们并不去评论是非或争斗。相反，他们会拿出他们的常用语词典来查阅，以便更充分地理解对方。如果这样还不行的话，他们就会去找翻译帮忙。

3 你知道，火星语和金星语用的词相同，但是词的用法不同，所表达的含义也就不同。两种语言的措词尽管相似，但是内涵却不同，所侧重的情感也不一样，相互之间很容易误解。因此，当交流出现问题时，他们认为这只不过是一个误解而已，是预料中的。只要得到些许帮助，他们就必定能够彼此理解。他们体验到的是一种相互间的信任和包容，这是我们今天很少能体验到的。

4 即使在今天，我们依然需要翻译。男人和女人即便用词相同，他们所表达的含义也很少一样。例如，当女人说：“我觉得你从不听我说话”时，她希望对方不要从字面上理解“从不”这个词。使用“从不”这个词只不过是用来表达她此时此刻感到非常失望而已，不要把它当作事实性信息去理解。

5 为了充分表达她们的感受，女人们往往会把事实夸大一点以引起注意，并使用各种最高级、隐喻以及笼统的概括。男人可能会错误地从字面上来理解这些用语。他们误解了女人想要表达的意思，便常常以不赞同的态度来回应她们。下面列有十种容易被误解的抱怨，同时也列出了男人如何回应，表示不赞同。容易被误解的十种抱怨女人这样说：男人这样回应：“我们从来不出去。”“不对啊，我们上周还出去过呢。”

“所有人都无视我的存在。”“我敢肯定有人关注你。”

“我太累了，我什么也干不了了。”“要是你不喜欢自己的工作，那就辞职吧。”

“我想忘掉一切。”“我觉得没有什么可忘掉的。”

“家里总是乱七八糟。”“并不总是这么乱的。”

“再也没人听我说话了。”“我不正在听你说嘛。”

“什么都不对劲儿。”“你是说这都是我的错？”

“你不再爱我了。”“我当然爱你，要不我干吗还在这儿。”

“我们老是匆匆忙忙。”“没有啊，周五我们就很轻松。”

“我需要更多的浪漫。”“你是说我不够浪漫？”

6 可以看出，习惯把语言用来传达事实和信息的男人们，从“字面”上去理解女人的话是多么容易产生误解。同时可以看出，男人的回答又是怎样引起争吵的。含糊的、缺乏爱心的沟通是男女之间的最大问题。女人们在交往中的第一大抱怨就是“我觉得没人听我说话。”

7 即使这种抱怨也会被误解。

8 男人从字面上去理解“我觉得没人听我说话”，这使他对该抱怨不当一回事。他认为只要能重复出她所说的话就表明他在听她说话了。对于女人所说的“我觉得没人听我说话”的正确理解是：“我觉得好像你没有完全理解我真正想说的话，或者你不关心我的感受。对于我

想说的话，你能不能表示出你是感兴趣的呢？”

9 如果男人能真正理解她的抱怨，那么他就会少些争辩，就能更积极地做出回应。当男人和女人到了快要争吵的地步时，他们往往是误解了对方的意思。这时候，重新思考和解释自己所听到的话是很重要的。

After-Class Reading

误会

1 他头发凌乱，衣衫肮脏，口袋里仅有35美分。在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他跳上一辆巴士，直奔厕所而去。他以为躲进厕所就能免费乘车去纽约了，但坐在巴士后面的一位女乘客发现了他。女乘客拍了拍她前排乘客的肩膀，说道：“厕所里有个流浪汉，告诉司机。”该乘客又拍了拍他前面的人说：“告诉司机，厕所里有个流浪汉。”

2 人们一个接着一个地将这条信息传到了巴士的前面，不过在中途某个环节，意思走了样。当传到司机那里时，已不是“厕所里有个流浪汉（bum）”，而是“厕所里有颗炸弹（bomb）”。司机急忙把车开到高速公路边停下来，用无线电报了警。警察赶到后，要求乘客们下车并远离现场。然后，他们关闭了高速公路。这样马上就造成了长达15英里的交通堵塞。在一条警犬的帮助下，警察将汽车搜查了两个小时。当然，他们没有找到炸弹。

3 同样，两个发音相似的英语单词也给一位想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚奥克兰市(Oakland)的乘客带来了麻烦。他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。他以为听到自己航班的登机广播了，于是走向登机门，出示了机票，登上了飞机。起飞20分钟后，这位先生开始担心了。奥克兰位于洛杉矶的北面，可飞机似乎在向西飞行，他朝舷窗外一看，看到的却是一片汪洋大海。“这趟航班是飞往奥克兰(Oakland)的吗？”他向乘务员询问。乘务员倒吸了一口凉气，答道：“不，我们正飞往奥克兰(Auckland)，新西兰的奥克兰(Auckland)。”

4 由于英语中许多词发音相近，误会对讲英语的人来说已是司空见惯了，但这种误会并不是每次都导致高速公路关闭或旅客错飞到别的大陆这样的后果。大多数误会都没这么严重。每天，讲英语的人之间都会问诸如“你是说70还是17 ？”，“你是说能来还是不能来？”之类的问题。对把英语作为第二语言的人来说，近音词特别容易混淆。

5 一天早晨，当一位定居美国的朝鲜妇女到办公室时，她的老板问她：“你有没有收到过一只盘子？”“没有……”她一边回答，一边纳闷老板究竟是什么意思。她是在办公室工作的，老板为什么会问起盘子的事？整整一天，她始终琢磨不透这个奇怪的问题，但她又不好意思去问老板。下午五点，当她正准备下班回家时，老板对她说：“明天请准时上班，今天早上你迟到了15分钟”。她回答说：“对不起，我的车发动不起来，再则，……”，她突然停住，笑了起来。这会儿她明白了，老板不是问她“是否收到过一只盘子”，而是问她“是否起晚了”。

6 不只是英语有近音词，其他语言中也有会引起误会的词，特别是对外国人来说。

7 奥克兰(Auckland)听成了奥克兰(Oakland)。“起晚了(up late)”变成了“一只盘子(a plate)”。当近音词造成误会时，也许最好的做法是一笑了之并从中吸取教训。当然有时候很难做到一笑了之。那位要去加利福尼亚的奥克兰却去了新西兰奥克兰的旅客不会有笑的雅兴。然而，那样一场误会最终结果也不错，航空公司为他免费提供了在新西兰的食宿和返回加利福尼亚的机票。“不错”，这位客人后来说道，“我一直想看看新西兰。”

Sample

Picture 1

It is matched with Line C, because it can be seen from the picture that the man is splashing some dirty rainwater onto the lady’s dress.

Line C is sincere because the man in the picture is making an apology to the lady.

W: Oh, My goodness! What have you done to my new dress?

M: Ah, I’m awfully sorry. I didn’t mean to make such a beautiful lady angry. I should have been more careful!

W: Angry? No, I’m not angry. I can just put it in the washing machine when I get home.

Picture 2

It is matched with Line A, because the moon is in the sky and the man pointing at his watch tells us it is very late at night.

Line A is sarcastic, for the man in the picture is obviously angry with the lady.

W: I’m back, honey.

M: Er, finally!

W: You seem so worried. Why?

M: Why should I be worried about you? It’s already past midnight.

W: Don’t worry. I won’t get lost so easily. I’m not an unsophisticated young girl.

M: I’m sorry for being late. But how did you know that?

Communication Problems

W: I guess it’s the doctor who bandaged up your hand. Are you all right?

M: Today’s my unlucky day! I had my hand hurt and my cell phone broken in a traffic accident. Teaching tips

In order to be sarcastic, Americans adjust their vocal tone by speaking flat, lengthening their vowel sounds and perhaps creating a facial expression.

?Tone of voice: When communicating, the way the words are spoken may be more important than what is actually being said. The tone of voice can indicate whether a speaker is sincere or sarcastic, casual or impassioned, serious or humorous, and confident or uncertain. For instance, sarcasm occurs when the speaker pitches a stressed syllable lower than the other words in the sentence. For example, the pitch of t he word “great” in sentence “Great weather,huh?” changes depending on whether you’re being sincere or sarcastic.

?Volume and speed of voice: A loud voice or speaking quickly may be a sign of excitability or urgency. Slow or soft speech may indicate a relaxed attitude or uncertainty. To put emphasis on what is being said, speakers may also effectively slow their speech or pause, and they may raise or lower their voices.

?Facial expressions: Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions can be used to express our feelings. For example, both eyebrows lifted can mean surprise or excitement, whereas a single lifted eyebrow may indicate sarcasm or disbelief.

Teaching tips

Activity: English-Chinese Telephone Chains

Duration: About 15 minutes

Aim: Practice listening, pronunciation, and translation

Introduction: This activity not only entails listening, pronunciation and translation skills, but also enables students to be aware of misunderstandings in daily communication, such as message delivering.

Preparation: In this activity, the 8-10 students of each group should be seated in a line or circle for the message to pass from one to another without being heard by others in the group. And the message can be chosen either by the teacher (or made up by the first student in each group). Remember that the rest of the group should have no idea about the message in advance. Procedure: Make sure that students have a clear understanding of the goal and rules. The first student of each group will get an English message from the teacher, translate it into Chinese and whisper the Chinese version to the second student. The second student is supposed to translate it back into English and whisper it to the third student. This continues down the line until the message gets to the last student. Each stu dent can only say “Can you please repeat that?” one time. When the message reaches the end of the chain, the student must speak out loud. In a big group you can send the message two ways and find out which team comes closest to the original message. Oftentimes the message will be completely different when it reaches the end. Try to find out where the chain broke!

The point of this activity is not winning; rather, it is to see if the last student can say the message correctly. The interesting thing about this activity is that usually the last student never says the

message correctly. It is also fun to hear the message all scrambled up, which naturally leads the students into cases of misunderstanding in the After-Class Reading passage.

Depending on students’ proficiency in English, the difficulty of this activity can be adjusted. If the teacher aims to favor the demands of students with a relatively low level of English, it is advisable to make slight alterations as follows. The class will be divided into groups of 8-10 students.

The first student of each group will be given a message by the teacher. The message should be whispered from one person to the next. The last person should repeat the message aloud. The group that gets the message through with the fewest changes wins.

3. Enjoying a Joke

Sample

In the joke, the problem is that the boy always took what the man said literally. In fact, when the man asked “Where does this road go?”, he expected that the boy would tell him that the road went or led to a cer tain place. But instead, the boy didn’t know what the man meant or he meant to tease the man and his answer seemed irrelevant. The same thing happened with the question “How far is it to the next town?”. Therefore, the reader may think the boy is stupid. B ut surprisingly, the boy’s last remark was very clever: “I know I don’t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I’m not lost.” This made the man seem stupid.

STEP TWO

Sample

The problem was caused by differences in communication between masculine and feminine cultures. John understood Laura according to the rules of the masculine culture. Women give a lot of responses to show their interest and involvement in a conversation because relationships and using communication to build them are very important to them. The masculine culture, on the other hand, focuses more on outcomes than processes. Thus, men tend to use feedback to show agreement and disagreement. When John heard Laura’s “ums”, “uh huhs”, and “yeses”, he thought that she was agreeing with him. However, according to the feminine culture, she was only showing interest and being responsive to him. She was not signaling agreement.

STEP THREE

Sample

?When I was seven years old, one of my right front teeth became so loose that I asked my grandmother to pull it out. “Which tooth should be pulled out?”, my grandmother asked me. I just said: “right front”. As a result, she pulled out my left front tooth right away. Do you know why? Answer: Because “the left” on my side was “the right” on her side. I lost two front teeth, owing to such a minor misunderstanding in daily life. In fact, the mistake could have been avoided if

I had pointed to my right front tooth.

?One day, our foreign teacher was invited to eat dumplings with us. He seemed to enjoy his first experience of eating Chinese dumplings very muc h. Then he asked me: “What’s the filling?”I answered: “Delicious!” Puzzled, he asked again: “I mean ‘What’s the filling?’” In response, I tried to make the answer clearer with a complete sentence, “I’m feeling very well.” What’s the misunderstanding in my case?

Answer: Misunderstanding occurs when the listener fails to recognize the correct pronunciation of the words. In this case, I failed to identify the short vowel /i/ in “filling”, thus confusing “filling” with “feeling”.

3.How to Avoid Misunderstandings

Sample

?Ask the other person to repeat what you have said, especially important facts and details such as where, when, who.

?Write clearly and exactly.

?If you are not sure about what the other person has said, do not hesitate to ask. Don’t pretend to know or understand. Don’t guess. Questions to avoid or clear up misunderstandings are welcome because nobody wants to be misunderstood.

?Do not make too many inferences. Sometimes trying to guess the implied meaning will cause trouble.

?Try to make out the intended meaning of what one has said, not just the literal meaning, especially when you are talking to a person of the opposite sex. Remember that men are usually factual while women may be more emotional.

?Pay attention to similar-sounding words or words in a conversation which are pronounced the same but spelled differently. When you say any word of the kind, make sure your listeners hear the word you actually said or meant. If you’re a listener, try to make sure what you heard is really what the speaker had said.

How to Avoid Misunderstandings

Misunderstandings are very common in our daily lives. Even though not all misunderstandings are very serious, they still cause problems and unnecessary troubles. Sometimes, they can even ruin good relationships or friendships, which will undoubtedly bring misery. There are many approaches to avoiding misunderstandings.

First, we should not use words that may have ambiguous meanings. We should express our ideas clearly and also pronounce words clearly, such as “seventeen” and “seventy”, because similar sounding words may well generate misunderstandings. Second, as listeners, when we are not quite clear about what we have heard, we should not hesitate to ask for clarification. We shouldn’t pretend to know or understand if we don’t. Third, we should not a lways take it literally when we hear a statement. For example, if a woman says “You never clean the house” to her husband, he had better not argue that the day before yesterday he cleaned the house. Instead, he should take it as a signal that either she is tired or she is bored with housework.

Of course, there are many other ways to avoid misunderstandings. If we can avoid misunderstandings, we can lead a better and happier life.

UNIT 2-1 一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。晚宴我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。故事发生在印度。某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。“女人一遇到危急情况，”少校说，反应便是尖叫。而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。在座的客人中，除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。那个美国人突然醒悟过来。在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着下一道菜。这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发警告。但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜索受惊咬人。于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使所有的人安静了下来。我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力，我数三百下——也就五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。动者将罚款五十卢比。准备好！”在他数数的过程中，那2 0 个人像一尊尊石雕一样端坐在那儿。当他数到“……280……”时，突然从眼然处看到那条眼镜蛇钻了出来，向那碗牛奶爬去。在他跳起来把通往阳台的门全都砰砰地牢牢关上时，室内响起了一片尖叫声。“你刚才说得很对，少校！”男主人大声说。一个男子刚刚为我们显示了从容不迫、镇定自若的范例。”“且慢”，那位美国人一边说着一边转向女主人。温兹太太，你怎么知道那条眼镜蛇是在屋子里呢？”女主人的脸上闪现出一丝淡淡的微笑，回答说：“因为它当时正从我的脚背上爬过去。” UNIT2 杰斐逊很久以前就死了，但是我们仍然对他的一些思想很感兴趣,杰斐逊的箴言, 布鲁斯.布利文、托马斯.杰斐逊美国第三任总统，也许不像乔治.华盛顿和亚伯拉罕.林肯那样著名，但大多数人至少记得有关他的一件事实：《独立宣言》是他起草的。虽然杰斐逊生活在二百多年以前，但我们今天仍可以从他身上学到很多东西。他的许多思想对当代青年特别有意义。下面就是他讲过和写到过的一些观点：自己去看。杰斐逊认为，一个自由的人除了从书本中获取知识外，还可以从许多别的来源获得知识；亲自做调查是很重要的。当他还年轻的时候，他就被任命为一个委员会的成员，去调查詹姆斯河南部支流的水深是否可以通行大型船只。委员会的其他成员都坐在州议会大厦内，研究有关这一问题的文件，而杰斐逊却跳进一只独木舟去做现场观测。你可以向任何人学习。按出身及其所受的教育，杰斐逊均属于最高的社会阶层。然而很少跟出身卑贱的人说话的年代，在那个贵人们除了发号施令以外。杰斐逊却想尽办法跟园丁、仆人和侍者交谈。有一次杰斐逊曾这样对法国贵族拉斐特说：你必须像我那样到平民百性的家里去，看看他们的烧饭锅，吃吃他们的面包。只要你肯这样做，你就会发现老百姓为什么会不满意，你就会理解正在威胁着法国的革命。”自已作判断。未经过认真的思考，杰斐逊绝不接受别人的意见。“不要相信它或拒绝它。

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY 地理之谜 人们也许觉得奇怪，为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史，就能弄清楚这个问题。 首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合了起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着，英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来，名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是，当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后，英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。然而，爱尔兰的南部却不愿组建联合王国，它分离出去，并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来，而组成了联合王国，这一点从新的联合王国国旗上就可以看得出来。 值得赞扬的是，这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作，例如在货币和国际关系方面;但是有些制度仍然区别很大。例如，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时，它们有着各自的足球队。在这四个国家中，英格兰是最大的。为了方便起见，它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部，中部地区叫做英格兰中部，最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做英格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部，而多数大工业城市都位于中部和北部。尽管，英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大，但是他们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队，有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾，这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。 最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆，有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口，有由盎格鲁——撒

08.9 美国经济发展速度日益缓慢，工作机遇日益凸显不稳定性。身为一所小型高校的校长，我时刻关注今年毕业生面临的就业市场。最新消息报道了贝尔斯登公司撤销了为商学院毕业生提供的数百个职位，这正是公司裁员的通常做法，而全美的大学也随之降低招生规模。但即使经济前景惨淡，今年的毕业生还是有望找到工作。固然，众多公司纷纷裁员，但其中许多也正寻求新的人才，尤其是低端职位。超过百万的职位新人像潮水般涌入劳动力市场，学生们应该认识到，在全球市场环境下，较强的语言能力对你大有帮助，灵活性也能助力不少。如果毕业生愿意接受起点低的工作，就工作要求做出一些让步，如果公司要求也不介意搬至其他城市工作，那么他就有可能得到一份工作。因此，即使失业情况日益严重，毕业生应该将找工作的过程视为自己漫长职场生涯中的第一个挑战。 According to a well-informed source, it was before the Spring Festival that Carrefour had its “first intimate contact” with Xin Da Xin. Undoubtedly, Guangzhou Municiple Government had played the role of “matchmaker”. In a short period of just a few months, the two parties “fell in love with each other”, the concern of those on the outside is: what is it in Xin Da Xin that has struck Carrefour’s fancy? To this, General Manager He of Xin Da Xin did not give any direct response. He merely stated in general terms that Xin Da Xin has unique features in the business of general merchandise in Guangzhou. According to Mr. He, in

Unit1 The Dinner Party 关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了 The dinner party 晚宴 1. I first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true—though any naturalist would know it couldn’t be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down. 我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。 2.The country is India.A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests—officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist—in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda. 故事发生在印度。某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。 3. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't. 席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。 4. "A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts." 他说：“一遇到危急情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。” 5. The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen：he quickly leaves the room. 那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。 6. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. 在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。 7. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing—bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters—the likeliest place—but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are

爱是一门艺术吗？ 艾里奇·弗罗姆爱是不是一门艺术？如果是，就需要知识和努力。或者，爱是否是一种令人愉悦的情感? 那么一个人能否经历全看他的造化，只有幸运儿才能坠入爱河。如今大多数的人都相信运气，这本小书却是以爱是一门艺术为前提的。 并不是说人们认为爱无关紧要。人们对于爱总是如饥似渴，看浩如烟海的爱情悲喜剧，听数百首拙劣的爱情歌曲。但很少有人认为关于爱还有需要学习的地方。 对爱的这种独特想法是基于几个错误观念，人们如果接受其中之一或者几个观念便会持有这种观点。多数人认为所谓爱就是“被人爱”，而不是“爱别人”或爱一个人的能力。所以，他们认为问题就在于如何被爱，如何变得可爱。他们通过几种途径来达到这一目的。其中尤为男士所喜用的是成为成功人士，在自己的社会地位许可的范围内获得最大程度的权利和财产。其二，尤为女士所喜用的是尽力塑造体形，注重衣着，从而使自己更加富于魅力。另外一些方式，则为男女所共同采用，如使自己举止得体，谈吐幽默，以及乐于助人、谦虚、内敛等，以便使自己更加具有吸引力。很多让自己变得可爱的方式和使自己事业有成的途径相同，如“赢得朋友，影响其他人”等。事实上，我们所处的文化中，大部分人认为要使自己变得可爱，必须既受大众欢迎，又要兼具性的魅力。 导致“爱不需要学习”这种看法的第二个错误观念是：人们想当然地认为爱的问题在于“对象”，而不在于“能力”。他们认为去爱是件很简单的事，而找到自己要爱的对象或者说爱自己的对象却很困难。造成这种态度的几个原因植根于现代社会的发展。其中一个原因是：在二十世纪，对“爱的对象”的选择出现巨大变化。在维多利亚时代，同许多传统文化一样，一般说来，爱情并非那种最终导致婚姻的自然产生的个人情感体验。恰恰相反，婚姻是按传统习俗约定好的，或为父母之命，或为媒妁之言，也可能无需这些媒介；婚姻是按社会习俗的考虑决定的，婚姻既成，爱情便自然应该随之培育了。在过去的几十年的西方世界，浪漫爱情几乎成了永恒不变的主题。在美国，虽然对社会传统的考虑并未完全消除，很大程度上人们却在寻找“浪漫爱情”，那是一种个人的爱情体验，其最终会导致婚姻。这种自由恋爱的新概念一定大大增加了“对象”相对于“功能”的重要性。 同此因素密切相关的是当代文化的另一重要特征。我们整个文化都是以购买的欲望和互惠交换的理念为基础的。现代人的幸福在于看着商店橱窗时的兴奋，在于购买买得起的商品，或者用现金或分期付款。于是，他（或者她）也以同样的方式去看别人。对一个男人来说，有魅力的女孩子是他们要追求的对象，而魅力男性之于女人亦如此。“有魅力”通常之意为觅偶市场上那些受到人们欢迎并努力求取的性格特质。什么样的人有魅力，无论外表还是思想均由时代潮流决定。二十年代，强壮又性感，喝酒抽烟的女孩子被认为具有魅力；如今，家庭型的羞涩的姑娘更合时代潮流。十九世纪末本世纪初，雄心勃勃，敢作敢为的男人才能称得上有诱惑性的“包装”，而如今男人则必须宽容，善于交际。无论怎样，只有当对方的这些商品化的特征与自身所具备特征对称的情况下，人才会培养起爱的感觉。我一心要找一件划算的货物，其不但要有可观的社会价值，同时考虑到我本人的资质与能力，也就是说对方也会需要我。这样当两个人考虑到自身交换价值的局限之后，认为自己在这一市场找到了力所能及的最好商品的时候，就开始恋爱了。通常，和购买房地产一样，将会发展起来的潜能在这种讨价还价中起着显著的作用。在一个以市场为导向，财富为重要价值的文化中，人类的爱情关系也遵从与商品与劳动力市场中的同样交换模式也就不足为奇了。 第三个造成爱无需学习的错误想法是错误地将“一见钟情”这种初始体验与永久性的热恋（或者可以说“在恋爱中”）混为一谈。生活中的我们，两人萍水相逢，突然彼此之间心灵的围墙坍塌，渐感亲爱，融为一体。这个融和的瞬间是一生中最让人激动幸福的时刻。对于那

UNIT 01 关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了。 晚宴 莫娜·加德纳 我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。 故事发生在印度。某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。 席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。 他说：“一遇到危急情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。” 那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。 在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。 那个美国人突然醒悟过来。在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了——餐桌下面。 他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发出警告。但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。 “我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力，我数三百下——也就是五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。动者将罚款五十卢比。准备好！” 在他数数的过程中，那二十个人都像一尊尊石雕一样端坐在那儿。当他数到“……二百八十……”时，突然从眼角处看到那条眼镜蛇钻了出来，向那碗牛奶爬去。在他跳起来把通往走廊的门全都砰砰地牢牢关上时，室内响起了一片尖叫声。 “你刚才说得很对，少校！” 男主人大声说。“一个男子刚刚为我们显示了从容不迫、镇定自若的范例。” “且慢，” 那位美国人一边说着一边转向女主人。“温兹太太，你怎么知道那条眼镜蛇是在屋子里呢？”女主人脸上闪出一丝淡淡的微笑，回答说：“因为它当时正从我的脚背上爬过去。”

大学生笔译比赛测试题 （测试时间为2小时） 姓名：分数： 一、汉译英（共50分） A Bite of China, a mouth-watering late-night documentary television series featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears. Given its subject matter and time slot, A Bite of China was initially considered a "weak player" on TV. Surprisingly, the documentary became popular immediately after airing, and has made viewers go beyond thinking about delicacies. "Man is what he eats," said Ludwig Feuerbach. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. "The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China!" a viewer said. A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective of food. 舌尖上的The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious toil. Some people see patriotism in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export. How did this documentary achieve a tremendous influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time? "

You can clarify this question if you study British history. 人们可能会奇怪为什么用不同的词语来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家。如果你研究英国的历史，你就能够弄明白这个问题。 First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.
