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

能送到你家。”

After-class Reading

遗忘的益处

我们在某个时候都曾希望拥有完美的记忆力,想要记住事情的每一个细节。我们会遗忘在学校和家里学到的很多东西,这太糟糕了。如果我们对过去的记忆既不准确又不完整,我们又怎么能够做出符合实际的自我评价呢?

然而,完美的记忆力并不总像人们想象的那么美好。有这样一个关于俄罗斯记者S 的故事。他只需看上几秒钟便能记住长串的数字、单词和许多页电话号码簿上的内容。甚至在多年以后,他仍能将这些长串的信息倒背如流。他还记得他第一次记这些材料时的情景。

S用各种各样的记忆“窍门”帮助自己记忆。其中的许多窍门涉及在大脑中形成图像。不过,你不必羡慕他,因为他有一个很严重的问题:不会遗忘。那些大脑中的图像老是浮现在他眼前,使他分心,无法

集中注意力。有时甚至连与人作简单的交谈都成问题,因为对方的话会让他想起其他东西。事实上,人们把他描述成一个迟钝的人。最终,S 无法胜任自己的工作,只好以“记忆专家”的身份游走于各个地方,向人们展示他的才能,以此来谋生。拥有这种记忆问题的人的例子还有很多。他们来自很多不同国家,说各种不同的语言。

或许你仍然认为拥有完美的记忆力是一件好事。那么,设想一下记住一切会是什么情形。每当你回忆过去时,你不但会记起你经历中的精华,还会记得毫无价值的琐事。记忆也许会花上你数小时,而不是片刻。你头脑中也许会一片混乱,使你无法把信息组织好。有了完美的记忆力,你也许会记住那些最好能忘记的东西。难道你真想记住每次愤怒的争吵,每个你所犯的错误,以及生命中每个痛苦的瞬间吗?“记住一切”会对你和家人、朋友的关系产生什么影响?成功地建立一种亲密关系是否有可能取决于一定程度的遗忘呢?或许只有把那些不愉快的记忆锁进记忆的角落里不再去想它们,才有可能自信和乐观呢?如果你记住这些,你就能理解为什么完美的记忆力不是我们该拥有的最佳记忆力。

就像牢记一样,某种程度的遗忘有助于我们的正常生活。那么,有益的遗忘和有害的遗忘之间的界线在哪里呢?如果你可以选择,你会选择清楚地记住哪些东西,又让哪些东西从你的记忆中消失呢?这是需要思考的问题。

Part One Preparation

1 Expressions Related to Memory

STEP ONE

I f a word, expression, etc. is on the tip of your tongue, you usually know it but have

difficulty remembering it at that moment.(就在嘴边的,差一点就能想起的)

W hen you say someone’s head is like a sieve or someone has a memory like a sieve, you mean that they forget things very easily.(记性坏,健忘)

I f your mind goes blank or has gone blank, you are suddenly not able to remember a fact

or piece of information at a time when you need it.(脑子一片空白)

I f a piece of information goes in one ear and out the other, it is heard but either ignored or

quickly forgotten.(一只耳朵进一只耳朵出,当作耳边风)

STEP TWO

1 B

2 D

3 A

4 C

2 Do You Have a Good Memory?

STEP TWO

Sample

I got 16 in this quiz. According to the results, I have a good memory. I can say I’m

extremely good at remembering facts and figures for exams, birthdays, telephone numbers, etc., but I have a poor memory for remembering things like what I had for dinner, what I was wearing, etc.

I think a person can remember what they need and want to remember. In other words,

one’s purpose and motivation make it possible for them to recall facts. They may find it difficult to remember facts about the geography of a country that doesn’t interest them, but can easily remember things about the country they’re going to visit. Why? Because they are motivated and this helps them to concentrate. Increased concentration, in turn, makes the information easier to remember.

T o sum up, one’s purpose dictates what to look for and remember, and therefore directs their attention to what they want to know.

STEP THREE

Sample

Yes, I once had a very embarrassing experience. One day, when I was walking on the street, I saw a young lady nodding and smiling at me and I began to wonder who she was. When she approached, she asked me about my college life in the past two weeks. Though I didn’t know whom I was talking to, I told her everything, including the fact that I could seldom see my advisor and had no one to turn to for help. An odd smile crossed her face and she looked a little bit embarrassed. Then she gave me a phone number along with her name. It

was then that I realized she was actually my advisor.

Well, I think all of us may feel embarrassed when we forget some important things such as a friend’s birthday or an appointment. I had such an experience about a year ago. One of my friends, Grace, invited me to her home the following Saturday, and I promised I would be there on time. When I arrived, I saw some of our classmates were there and each of them had brought a present for Grace. It turned out that that day was her birthday. I felt very embarrassed, but I thought I had to do something to cover up my embarrassment. So, I went up to her and said, “Gosh, Grace, you never seem to age, so I never remember your birthday.”

3 How to Remember Clearly?

STEP ONE

I n Speech Bubble 1, the man is forming a mental picture of the things he wants to

buy. I n Speech Bubble 2, the man is repeating the things he wants to buy.

I n Speech Bubble 3, the man is trying to remember his shopping list by inventing a story.

I n Speech Bubble 4, the man is forming meaningful connections between the things he wants to buy and the letters in the word “CANDY”.

STEP TWO

Sample

When I’m trying to memorize facts for exams, I always repeat them a number of times. The more I do this, the easier it is to remember. Even so, I think, repetition, by itself, is not enough. Sometimes, I will try other means to memorize what I am trying to remember. I will ask questions, think about the topic in relation to my own experience, or discuss issues with my classmates.

Sometimes I use the method of forming meaningful connections to remember English words. For example, when trying to remember whether I should use the word “principle” or “principal”, I tell myself that a principle is a rule and a principal is my pal and then I can use the appropriate word. Besides, I keep a diary to record my memories. When I go to new places, I buy souvenirs or take photographs to remind me of the places and people there. Sometimes songs help me remember things, too. For example, “Yesterday Once More” was my favorite song in high school. Now the song always brings back pleasant memories of my high school life.

Apart from the methods mentioned in the picture, I will use the method of “chunking” to memorize numbers. I find it’s a good way because chunking involves grouping materials together rather than learning each item separately. For example, when my friend told me his telephone number is 05718820××××, I grouped the 12 numbers into three chunks, “0571”,

“8820”, “××××”, it was far easier to remember.

Sample

Y esterday afternoon I was on duty at the check-in counter. A young man came to me and asked if his briefcase had been turned in. I said no. Then he looked over my shoulder at the conveyor belt and shouted that he saw his briefcase going through the opening at the end of the conveyor belt. I asked him to give me his baggage claim check, but he said he didn’t have one. He was just there to meet a flight. I then asked him to fill out a claim form and called down to the baggage area. Unfortunately, the briefcase had already been loaded on one of the flights and they didn’t know which one. So I took the young man’s phone number and assured him that we would call as soon as we found the briefcase. I promised that we would deliver it to his home address in Sioux City.

T he young man left. About two hours later, we learned that the briefcase was found in Denver.One of our workers called the young man to tell him the good news. To our great surprise, the young man said that he had already found his briefcase! It had been in his car! Now we had to look for the owner of the briefcase that we had thought to be the young man’s.

How empathy unfolds 同感是怎样表露的 1 The moment Hope, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears welled up in her own eyes and she crawled off to be comforted by her mother, as though it were she who had been hurt. And 15-month-old Michael went to get his own teddy bear for his crying friend Paul; when Paul kept crying, Michael retrieved Paul's security blanket for him. Both these small acts of sympathy and caring were observed by mothers trained to record such incidents of empathy in action. The results of the study suggest that the roots of empathy can be traced to infancy. Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy. 霍普才九个月大,一见到另一个婴儿摔倒,泪水就涌了出来。她爬到妈妈身边寻求安慰,就好像是她自己摔疼了。15个月大的迈克尔把自己的玩具熊拿来给正在大哭的朋友保罗;保罗不停地大哭的时候,迈克尔替保罗捡回他的安乐毯。这些小小的表示同情和关爱的举动都是接受过记录同感行为训练的母亲们观察到的。这项研究的结果表明,同感的根源可以追溯到人的婴儿期。实际上,从出生的那天起,婴儿在听到其他婴儿哭闹的时候就会感到不安——有些人认为这种反应是同感的最初先兆。 2 Developmental psychologists have found that infants feel sympathetic distress even before they fully realize that they exist apart from other people. Even a few months after birth, infants react to a disturbance in those around them as though it were their own, crying when they see another child's tears. By one year or so, they start to realize the misery is not their own but someone else's, though they still seem confused over what to do about it. In research by Martin L. Hoffman at New York University, for example, a oneyear-old brought his own mother over to comfort a crying friend, ignoring the friend's mother, who was also in the room. This confusion is seen too when one-year-olds imitate the distress of someone else, possibly to better comprehend what they are feeling; for example, if another baby hurts her fingers, a one-year-old might put her own fingers in her mouth to see if she hurts, too. On seeing his mother cry, one baby wiped his own eyes, though they had no tears. 成长心理学家发现,甚至在充分意识到自己是独立于其他人而存在之前,婴儿就感受到了同情的苦恼。甚至在出生后几个月,婴儿就会对周围人的烦躁不安做出反应,就好像他们自己的烦躁不安一样,看到别的孩子哭也跟着哭。到了一岁左右,他们开始意识到痛苦不是他们的,而是别人的,可是他们对这样的事情似乎还是感到不知所措。例如,在纽约大学的马丁·L.霍夫曼所做的一项研究中,一个一岁的孩子把自己的妈妈拉过来安慰哭闹的朋友,却忽视了同在一室的朋友的妈妈。这样的困惑在其他一岁大的孩子身上也能看到,他们模仿别的孩子的痛苦,也许是为了更好地理解他们的感受。例如,如果别的婴儿伤了手指,一个一岁大的孩子就会把自己的手指放进嘴里,看看自己是否也感觉到痛。看到自己的妈妈哭,婴儿即使没有眼泪,也会擦拭自己的眼睛。 3 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener's theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.

Chinese Translations ofTexts A (Units 1-8) 参考译文 第一单元 学习方式 课文A 哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。 中国式的学习风格 霍华德·加德纳 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中蓁教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙的槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式 我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。”既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以(也应该)示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理,解释道,首先,我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心,而且在探索,这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于,在这个过程中,我们试图让本杰明懂得,一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是

Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone.Smaller circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此,我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷。不过,我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式。面对面的聊天正在被短信取代;相比打个电话,人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式。脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人,相比之下,现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光。在这些较细微的趋势中,越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机,而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代。所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方?也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊,在这个深渊里,人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代。 8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job?当然,这并不是某个人的错。如今,交友压力来自方方面面。比如来自工作压力,或是整天瞎忙,无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间。有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西,却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外。这样的人还少吗? 9、Of course, we learn how to make friends — or not — in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然,我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交。最近,关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性。这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题,其主要结论都与孩子缺少“计划外时间”有关。 10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids —time for school, time for homework, time for music practice,

U n i t 1 Something for stevie I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn’t sure I wanted one. I wasn’t sure how my customers would react. Stevie was short, a little dumpy, with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s syndrome. I wasn’t worried about most of my trucker customers. Truckers don’t generally care who buses tables as long as the food is good and the pies are homemade. The ones who concerned me were the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs who secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded “truck-stop germ;”and the pairs of white-shirted businessmen on expense accounts who think every truck-stop waitress wants to be flirted with. I knew those people would be uncomfortable around Stevie, so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldn’t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his little finger. Within a month my trucker regulars had adopted him as their official truck-stop mascot. After that I really didn’t care what the rest of the customers thought. He was a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译 UNIT 1 “我原谅你” 1、并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居,甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。事实上,没有宽恕的氧气,任何人际关系都无从维系。宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质;它是所有关系的必要条件,也是自己的身心健康不可缺少的。 2、有些人可能认为,自己受伤太深、次数太多,无法宽恕。可耐人寻味的是,恰恰是被伤得最深的人,才真正需要宽恕别人,原因很简单:仇恨就像癌症,会毁掉宿主。如果不尽快铲除,它就会生根发芽,使那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。 3、因为事实是,除非我们能宽恕他人,否则就永远无法恢复。伤口会继续溃烂,永不愈合。中国有句古谚,“复仇者必自绝”。 4、对有些人来说,宽恕他人似乎是不可能的,因为他们根本不知从何做起。首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实:宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。事实上,对于我们大多数人来说,这也许是最难做到的。 5、被伤害的是我们,却还要宽恕他人,这似乎毫无公平可言,然而这正是宽恕的关键所在。 6、“宽恕并忘记”,这句俗话谁都会脱口而出,但实际上既简单又肤浅。一则这是绝对不可能的,二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。生活中最需要宽恕的事正是那些无法忘记的事。我们不应把这些事掩饰起来,而需记住它们,并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见,然后继续生活。 7、这就是为什么有的时候会感到:宽恕别人,一开始会相对容易些,难的是每次你看到那个人,与他谈话,甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举,而是持久的情感面对。 8、等待越久,宽恕就越难。实际上,时间不会愈合伤口,只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。如果要等待“适当的时候”,你也许永远都找不到机会。 9、开始运用宽恕的艺术之前,你先要问自己这样一个问题:我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢? 10、几年前,我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。最初几个月,它蒙蔽了所有人——美观、实用、人见人爱。我们认为它太适合我们家了。可时间一长,表面薄层的边角部分开始慢慢脱落。再也没有当初的效果了,不过至少它现在是以真实面目示人!事实是,不管喜欢不喜欢,在漂亮的表层下,我们都只是刨花板。因此,在我们评判别人之前,明智的做法是先在镜子里认真审视自己。我们越是审视自己,正视自己的缺点,便越愿意也越能够宽恕他人的缺点,宽恕得越多,也就越能体会到真正的满足。

大学体验英语综合教程课文翻译及答案

Unit 1 Passage A (p12) 学无止境 终考的最后一天,东部一所的大学里,一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上,谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都充满自信。在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前,这是他们最后一门考试。 他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作,有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信,使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试,不过是小事一桩。这门课的教授已经说过,除考场上不能交头接耳外,允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。考生们依次进入考场,心情轻松而愉快。当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后,学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂,因为考卷上只有五道论述题。 3个小时过去了,教授开始收回考卷。考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情,自信已经荡然无存。当教授收完考卷,看着全班学生时,所有的人都沉默不语。 她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道:“5道题答完的有多少?” 没人举手。 “答完4道的有多少?” 还是没有人举手。 “完成3道题的?2道题的?” 考生们有些坐不住了,不安地动了动。 “那么,有没有写完一道题的?我想总有人做完一道题吧!” 考场里还是一片寂静。教授放下手中的考卷,说:“果真不出我所料。” “我只是想让你们牢牢记住,即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程,在这个领域里,你们还有很多东西不懂。在你们今后的日常工作中,类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。”接着,她微笑着补充说:“你

们都会通过考试,但是请记住,即使你们现在已经毕业了,你们的学习才刚刚开始。” 多年后,这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘,但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。 Read and translate 1. →译文:He has no longer written to his friends ever since he got a mobile phone. 2.→译文:Even though he is very busy, he spends at least two hours every day surfing the Internet, aiming to know about the latest development in this area / field. 3. →译文:Professor Li made a short speech at the commencement, his words of which were deeply impressed upon my memory. 4. →译文:Talking of the final exams the students were not nervous at all. On their faces was confidence. 5.→译文:To write a short passage of about 100 words within 30 minutes would be a snap to most students in their class. Passage B (P17) 时光如能倒流 四年的学习生涯结束,毕业的那一刻终于到来。不到两个星期我就要毕业了。回首往昔,竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景,我一边望着课表背面的地图,一边询问教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是即将毕业的老生,用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞,让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多人迫不及待地等待毕业,我却与他们恰恰相反。我希望时间倒流,让我将大学生活的每一天重新来过。 对我来说,大学生活是非常重要的学习经历,绝大多数学习过程都是在课外学到的。大学第二年对我来说也许是生命中最精彩的一年。正是这一年,我终于让妈妈确信我住校没有问题,她同意了我住校。也正是这一年,我结交了一些终身好友。经历了许多成功与失败使我对自己有了更深的了解。大二生活使我体验了许多新的事物:山地宿营,在报纸上发表一些拙陋的诗歌,在课堂上给老师画漫画。 漫步在熟悉的校园路上,我陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆之中。我多希望能够重头来过,再次扑捉大学生活的快乐和兴奋。一想到就要毕业我的心就惶惶恐恐。从记事起我就一直在读书,我感到还有许多东西想学,可我不得不离开学校毕业了。世界如此之大,可能发生的事情又如此之多。过去的四年我一直

陌生人的善意 1. 一年夏天,我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。在沙漠深处,我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。他一只手打出拇指向外的手势,另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。我直接从他身边开过去了。别人会停下来的,我想。再说,那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。在这个国家,曾有那么一段时间,你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理,大家会认为你是混蛋,而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯,为什么要冒险呢?“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。 2. 开过了几个州以后,我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。让我不安的是,我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。我很想知道,现在还有人会停车吗? 3. 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句:“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。” 4. 陌生人的善意。听起来好怪。如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗? 5. 要验证这一点,一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸,不带一分钱,完全依靠美国同胞的善意。他会发现一个什么样的美国?谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢? 6. 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢?好吧,我想,那不如我来试试? 7. 满37岁那个星期,我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。所以我决定来个观念的跨越,美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋,不带一分钱。要是有人给我钱,我会拒绝。我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”(即开普菲尔),它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。 8. 1994年9月6日,我早早起床,背起一个50磅重的包,朝金门桥走去。我从背包里拿出一个牌子,向过路的车辆展示我的目的地:“美利坚”。 9. 司机们隔着挡风玻璃念出这个词,然后笑了。两个女人骑自行车经过。“有点含混,”其中一个说。一名带有德国口音的年轻男士走上前来问,“你这个‘美利坚’在哪儿?”10. 实际上,整整六个星期的时间里我试图找出答案。我搭了82次便车,行程4223英里,穿越了14个州。在旅途中,我发现其他人跟我一样有担心。人们总是在警告我当心别的某个地方。在蒙大拿州,他们叫我留神怀俄明州的牛仔,而在内布拉斯加州,人们提醒我说艾奥瓦州的人可不如他们友好。 11. 然而,在我所去的每个州,我都受到了友善的对待。我诧异于美国人执意帮助陌生人的能力,甚至于在看来与自己的最大利益相冲突时他们也绝不袖手旁观。有一天,在内布拉斯加,一辆四门小轿车在路肩停下。我走到车窗边,看到两位穿着节日盛装的瘦小老妇人。12. “我知道这年头不该带搭便车的,但这里前不着村后不着店的,不停车感觉真不好。”自称“维”的司机说。她和姐姐海伦是去内布拉斯加的安斯沃思看眼疾的。 13. 她们为我停了车,我都不知道是该亲吻她们呢还是该责备她们。这个女人是在告诉我,她宁肯冒生命危险也不愿意因为没为一个站在路边的陌生人停车而感到内疚。她们在一个高速路口把我放下时,我望着维。我们俩异口同声地说,“小心。” 14. 有一次我在雨中没能搭上便车。一名长途卡车司机停了车,他把刹车踩得那么重,车子都在草地路肩上滑行了一段。司机告诉我他有一次被搭便车的人持刀抢劫了。“但我不愿意看到有人在雨里站着。”他补充说,“现在大家都没有良心了。” 15. 然而,我发现,总体而言,人们还是挺有同情心的。艾奥瓦州一对中年夫妇为了帮我找宿营地领着我走了一个小时。在南达科他州,一个女人让我在她家住了一晚之后递给我两张
