Unit 1 Growing UP

Part Text ⅡA Writing for Myself

When we are writing we are often told to keep our readers in mind, to shape what we say to fit

their tastes and interests. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten. Can you

guess who? Russell Baker surprised himself and everyone else when he discovered the answer.

我们写作时常常被告诫，脑子里要有读者，笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。但有一位读者特别不该忘

记。你能猜出是谁吗？当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。

Writing for Myself

Russell Baker

1 The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but

it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I've been

bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I

hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read

and for me to write.

为自己而写

拉塞尔·贝克

从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这

一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨

那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

2 When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another

cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for

dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date.

To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses,

his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set

primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly

straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a

comic antique.

弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先

生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了，古板

之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正

正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱

一个滑稽的老古董。

3 I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed. Late

in the year we tackled the informal essay. Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering us a

choice of topics. None was quite so simple-minded as "What I Did on My Summer Vacation," but most

seemed to be almost as dull. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was

due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook,

and scanned it. The topic on which my eye stopped was "The Art of Eating Spaghetti."

我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。后半学期我

们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的

题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在

沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条

的艺术"这个题目上。

4 This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. Vivid memories came

flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table ─Uncle Allen,

my mother, Uncle Charlie, Doris, Uncle Hal ─and Aunt Pat served spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti

was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti,

and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it.

All the good humor of Uncle Allen's

house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the

socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.

这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回

忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们

大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁──艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔

舅舅──帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大

利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来

没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，

没有一个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作一团，

争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。

5 Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to

put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and

hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however,

would violate all the rules of formal composition I'd learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely

give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this

thing for myself.

突然我就想描述那一切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅

是想自得其乐，而不是为弗利格

尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚

的愉快。然而，照我希望的那样去写，

就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则，弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它一

个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好

了之后，我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。

6 When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper,

respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the

Belleville supper. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned

everyone's but mine. I was preparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately

after school for discipline when I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class's

attention.

等我写完时已是半夜时分，再没时间为弗利格尔先生写一篇循规蹈矩、像模像

样的文章了。第二天上午，我别

无选择，只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文，他把别人

的都发了，就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命一放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训，却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文，敲

了敲桌子让大家注意听。

7 "Now, boys," he said. "I want to read you an essay. This is titled, 'The Art of Eating Spaghetti.'"

"好了，孩子们，"他说。"我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是：吃意大利细面条的艺术。"

8 And he started to read. My words! He was reading my words out loud to the entire class. What's

more, the entire class was listening. Listening attentively. Then somebody laughed, then the entire

class was laughing, and not in contempt and ridicule, but with open-hearted enjoyment. Even Mr.

Fleagle stopped two or three times to hold back a small prim smile.

于是他开始念了。是我写的！他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是，全班同学都在听着他念，而且听

得很专心。有人笑出声来，接着全班都笑了，不是轻蔑嘲弄，而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了

两三次，好抑制他那一丝拘谨的微笑。

9 I did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what I was feeling was pure delight at this

demonstration that my words had the power to make people laugh. In the eleventh grade, at the

eleventh hour as it were, I had discovered a calling. It was the happiest moment of my entire school

career. When Mr. Fleagle finished he put the final seal on my happiness by saying, "Now that, boys,

is an essay, don't you see. It's ─don't you see ─it's of the very essence of the essay, don't you

see. Congratulations, Mr. Baker."

我尽力不流露出得意的心情，但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑，我真是心花怒放。就在十一年级，可谓

是最后的时刻，我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的一刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道："瞧，

孩子们，这就是小品文，懂了没有。这才是──知道吗──这才是小品文的精髓，知道了没有。祝贺你，贝克

先生。"他这番话使我沉浸在十全十美的幸福之中。

Part ⅢText B Summer Reading

As a summer job the author used to cut Mr. Ballou's lawn. The only problem was that Mr. Ballou

never seemed to have any money to pay for it. But what he did have to give was something that

turned out to be far more valuable.

夏天打工时，作者常常替巴卢先生修剪草坪。惟一的问题是，巴卢先生似乎从来没钱支付工钱。然而，他实际

上所给予的却远比工钱珍贵。

Summer Reading

Michael Dorris

1 When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns, and within a few weeks I

had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to

remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I

reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken,

which particular request was most important. (1) And I learned something about the measure of my

neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month ─or not at all.

夏日阅读

迈克尔·多里斯

十四岁那年，我在暑假里替人修剪草坪挣些钱，不出几个星期，我就有了不少客户。客户们种植的花卉我得记

住不能剪去，他们会将东西遗落在草地上或故意插在地里，通过这些我逐渐认识了他们。我对大多数客户了解至深，

事先就能知道他们会抱怨些什么，哪些特别的要求不能掉以轻心。(1)而且，我从邻居偏爱的付款方式中了解到了一

点他们的情况：有的按干的活儿给钱，有的按月支付─或者有的压根儿不付钱。

2 Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day he had no

change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked

on his door. Still, except for the money part, he was a nice enough old guy, always waving or tipping

his hat when he'd see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a

work-related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I

didn't worry about the amount too much. (2) Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou's property

comprised didn't take long to trim.

巴卢先生属于最后一类，而且他总有理由。有一天他兑不开一张五十元的钞票，又有一天他支票用完了，还有

一天我上门时他干脆就溜出去了。撇开钱这档子事，他倒也还是个挺不错的老头，每次看见我，老远就挥手或脱帽

致意。我猜他退休金不多，可能出过工伤，整不了自己的园子。没错，我全都记着账，可我对这点钱并没太在意。

(2)也就是剪剪草，何况巴卢先生住宅外面的那一点草坪修剪起来花不了多少时间。

3 Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and

he opened the door, motioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a

minute to adjust to the dim light.

到了一年中最热的七月中旬，一天傍晚前，我走过他家，他开了门，示意我进去。门厅里凉凉的，帘子遮去了

阳光，过了一会儿我的眼睛才适应室内的暗淡光线。

4 "I owe you," M r. Ballou began, "but…"

"我欠你工钱，"巴卢先生开口道，"不过……"

5 I thought I'd save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse. "No problem. Don't worry about

it."

我想省得他费神找新的借口了，就说: "没事。别放在心上。"

6 "The bank made a mistake in my account," he continued, ignoring my words. "It will be cleared

up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for

a down payment."

"银行把我的账弄错了，"他没理我的碴儿，接着说，"一两天里就会改过来。在这当儿，我想你不妨挑一两本书

作为我的首付款。"

7 He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked everywhere. It was like a library,

except with no order to the arrangement.

他朝墙那边指了指，我这才发现到处都堆着书。就跟图书馆一样，只不过没有分门别类罢了。

8 "Take your time," Mr. Ballou encouraged. "Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do

you read?"

"别着急，"巴卢先生鼓动说，"读也好，借也好，留着也行。找你喜欢的。你平

常都爱读什么书啊？"

9 "I don't know." And I didn't. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the

paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes,

comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without

appeal ─so I started to look through the piles of books.

"我不知道。"我的确不知道。我通常是弄到什么就读什么，从药房里买到的平装书，图书馆里借得到的书、杂

志，到麦片包装盒背面的说明，还有连环漫画，什么都看。有意识地找出一本特别的书来读对我是件新鲜事，不过

我觉得这主意挺不错──于是我开始在书堆中翻找起来。

10 "You actually read all of these?"

"这么多书你都读过啊？"

11 "This isn't much," Mr. Ballou said. "This is nothing, just what I've kept, the ones worth looking

at a second time."

"这不算多，"巴卢先生说，"这_______根本不算多，只不过是我自己的藏书，都是值得再读一遍的。"

12 "Pick for me, then."

"那就替我找一本吧。"

13 He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit.

After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book,

fairly thick.

他眉一抬，头一侧，望着我，就像是在给我量体裁衣似的。过了片刻，他略一点头，便在一堆书中搜寻，然后

递给我一本暗红色封面的精装本，挺厚的。

14 "The Last of the Just," I read. "By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What's it about?"

"《最后的正义》，"我念道，"安德烈·施瓦兹巴特著。是讲什么的？"

15 "You tell me," he said. "Next week."

"你来告诉我，"他说，"下个星期。"

16 I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. (3) Within a few

pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the

Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated

from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally

failed I moved inside, read all through the night.

晚饭后我坐在室外一张不舒服的餐椅里打开了书。(3)读了几页，院子就消失了，夏夜也消失了；我一下子就进

入了二战期间纳粹对犹太人的大屠杀这一令人悲痛的惨剧中，进入了以一个正派人物为代表的善与恶之间非同寻常

的冲突中。书译自法文，译文优美朴素，令人不忍释手。天色终于暗了下来，我回到室内，读了一个通宵。

17 To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary

encounter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain.

I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week, when Mr.

Ballou asked, "Well?" I only replied, "It was good."

时至三十年后的今天，我仍清晰地记得当时的经历。那是我初次有心地接触世界文学，我被一部小说所能包含

的集聚的力量深深震撼。但我缺乏足够的词汇表达我的情感，因此，第二个星期，当巴卢先生问我"怎么样"时，我

只回答说："书真好。"

18 "Keep it, then," he said. "Shall I suggest another?"

"那就留着吧，"他说，"要不要我再介绍一本？"

19 I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in

Samoa.

我点点头，拿到了一本平装本的玛格丽特·米德的《萨摩亚人的成年》。

20 To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year

or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. (4) Summer reading

was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable

escape in a hammock (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before

you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an interval in the daily business of things, will

change the course of all that follows.

长话短说，无论当年还是次年，巴卢先生分文未付我替他割草的工钱，但我在达特默思大学教了十五年的人类

学。(4) 盛夏阅读不是我原先认为的仅仅借以消磨时光的娱乐，不是躺在吊床上无忧无虑、打开书本就什么都忘掉

的一种消遣（虽然自从那个夏天以来我曾多次以这种方式自娱自乐）。一本书，如果在恰当的时候，恰当的季节，

在日常事务的间歇中出现在你的面前，就会改变你此后的人生道路。

Unit 2 Friendship

Part ⅡText A A all The Cabbie Had Was A Letter

How do you feel when old friends are far away? Do you make an effort to keep in touch?

Sometimes it is easy to put off writing a letter, thinking that there will be plenty of time tomorrow. But

then sometimes, as this story shows, we leave it too late. Perhaps reading it will make you want to

reach for your pen.

老朋友天各一方，你心有何感？你是否努力保持联系？有时候写信的事很容易会一拖再拖，总以为明天有的是

时间。然而，正如这则故事所表明的，有时我们拖得太晚了。也许读一读这个故事会让你提起笔来。

1 He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the

windshield to get his attention.

出租车司机拥有的就剩一封信

福斯特·弗克洛

他准是完全沉浸在所读的东西里了，因为我不得不敲挡风玻璃来引起他的注意。

2 "Is your cab available?" I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said

apologetically as I settled into the back seat, "I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as

if he had a cold or something.

他总算抬头看我了。“你出车吗？”我问道。他点点头，当我坐进后座时，他抱歉地说：“对不起，我在读一封信。”

听上去他像是得

3 "I'm in no hurry," I told him. "Go ahead and finish your letter."

“我不着急，”我对他说，“你接着把信读完吧。”

4 He shook his head. "I've read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart."

他摇了摇头。“我已经读了好几遍了。我想我都能背出来了。”

5 "Letters from home always mean a lot," I said. "At least they do with me because I'm on the road

so much." Then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I guessed: "From a child or maybe a

grandchild?"

“家书抵万金啊，”我说。“至少对我来说是这样，因为我老是在外旅行。”我估量他有六七十岁了，便猜测说：“是

孩子还是孙子写来的？”

6 "This isn't family," he replied. "Although," he went on, "come to think of it, it might just as well

have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other 'Old Friend' ─

when we'd meet, that is. I'm not much of a hand at writing." “不是家里人，”他回答说。“不过，”他接着说，“想起来，也可以算是一家人了。埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了。

实际上，过去我俩总是以‘老朋友’相称的——就是说，当我俩相见时。我这人就是不大会写东西。”

7 "I don't think any of us keep up our correspondence too well," I said. "I know I don't. But I take

it he's someone you've known quite a while?"

“我看大家写信都不那么勤快，”我说，“我自己笔头就很懒。我看，你认识他挺久了吧？”

8 "All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back."

“差不多认识了一辈子了。我俩小时候就一起玩，所以我俩的友谊确实很长了。”

9 "Went to school together?"

“一起上的学？”

10 "All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and

high school."

“都一起上到高中呢。事实上，我俩从小学到高中都在一个班里。”

11 "There are not too many people who've had such a long friendship," I said.

“保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊，”我说。

12 "Actually," the driver went on, "I hadn't seen him more than once or twice a year over the past

25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even

though you never forget. He was a great guy."

“其实呢，”司机接着说，“近25到30年来，我跟他一年只见一两次面，因为我从原来住的老街坊搬了出来，

联系自然就少了，虽说你一直放在心上。他在的时候可真是个大好人。”

13 "You said 'was'. Does that mean ─?"

“你刚才说他‘在的时候’。你是说——？”

14 He nodded. "Died a couple of weeks ago."

他点了点头。“前两个星期过世啦。”

15 "I'm sorry," I said. "It's no fun to lose any friend ─and losing a real old one is even tougher."

“真遗憾，”我说，“失去朋友真不是个滋味，失去个真正的老朋友更让人受不了。”

16 He didn't reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was

still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me: "I should have kept in

touch. Yes," he repeated, "I should have kept in touch."

他开着车，没有接话儿。我们沉默了几分钟。可我知道他还在想着老埃德。他又开口时，与其说是跟我说话，

还不如说是自言自语：“我真该一直保持联系。真的，”他重复道，“我真该一直保持联系。”

17 "well," I agreed, "We should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things

come up and we just don't seem to find the time."

“是啊，”我表示赞同，“我们都该与老朋友保持更多的联系。不过总是有事情冒出来，好像就是抽不出空来。”

18 He shrugged. "We used to find the time," he said. "That's even mentioned in the letter." He

handed it over to me. "Take a look."

他耸了耸肩。“我们过去总能抽出空来，”他说。“信里还提到呢。”他把信递给我，“你看看吧。”

19 "Thanks," I said, "but I don't want to read your mail. That's pretty personal."

“谢谢你，”我说，“不过我不想读你的信。这纯属私事。”

20 The driver shrugged. "Old Ed's dead. There's nothing personal now. Go ahead," he urged me.

司机耸一耸肩。“老埃德人都死了。没什么私事不私事了。念吧，”他催促说。

21 The letter was written in pencil. It began with the greeting "Old Friend,"and the first sentence

reminded me of myself. I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always postponed it. It

then went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together when they both

lived in the same neighborhood. It had references to things that probably meant something to the

driver, such as the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker's

gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school.

信是用铅笔写的。称呼写着“老朋友”，而开头第一句话让我想到自己。“早就想写信了，可就是一拖再拖。” 信

里接着写道，他常常回想从前两人住在一个街坊时的快乐时光。信里提到些事，可能对司机很重要，比如“那次蒂姆·谢

打破窗子_______，那年万圣节前夕，我们把老帕克先生的大门拴了起来，还有卡尔弗太太老是在放学后把咱俩留下训斥的

那阵子”。

22 "You must have spent a lot of time together," I said to him. “你们俩准是在一起度过了不少时光，”我对他说。

23 "Like it says there," he answered, "about all we had to spend in those days was time." He shook

his head: "Time."

“就跟信里写的那样，”他回答说，“我俩在那个时候能花的只有时间。”他摇头叹道：“时间啊。”

24 I thought the next paragraph of the letter was a little sad: I began the letter with "Old Friend"

because that's what we've become over the years ─old friends. And there aren't many of us left.

信里接下来的那段我觉得有点凄凉：“信的开头我写着‘老朋友’，因为这么多年来，我们这对老朋友渐渐都老了。

我们这些人当中留下的也不多了。”

25 "You know," I said to him, "When it says here that there aren't many of us left, that's absolutely

right. Every time I go to a class reunion, for example, there are fewer and fewer still around."

“你要知道，”我对他说，“信里说我们这些人当中留下的不多了，说得一点不错。比如说，每次我去参加老同学

聚会，来的人总是越来越少。”

26 "Time goes by," the driver said.

“时间不饶人啊，”司机说。

27 "Did you two work at the same place?" I asked him.

“你们俩以前在一起工作吗？”我问他。

28 "No, but we hung out on the same corner when we were single. And then, when we were

married, we used to go to each other's house every now and then. But for the last 20 or 30 years

it's been mostly just Christmas cards. Of course there'd be always a note we'd each add to the cards

─usually some news about our families, you know, what the kids were doing, who moved where, a

new grandchild, things like that ─but never a real letter or anything like that."

“不，不过没成家时我俩总在一起闲荡。后来，两人都成了家，就不时相互串门。可最近这二三十年来，主要就

是寄寄圣诞卡了。当然，我俩都总在卡上写几句——通常是关于各自家里的情况，不是吗，孩子们在干些什么，

谁搬到哪儿，添了个小孙子，都是这类事——可一直都没正儿八经地写过信什么的。”

29 "This is a good part here," I said. "Where it says Your friendship over the years has meant an

awful lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that."I found myself

nodding in agreement. "That must have made you feel good, didn't it?"

“这一处写得好，”我说，“这里写道：‘你多年的友谊对我非常重要，远比我能说出来的重要得多，因为我不擅长

说这样的话。’”我颔首称是。“这话准让你听着开心，是吧？”

30 The driver said something that I couldn't understand because he seemed to be all choked up,

so I continued: "I know I'd like to receive a letter like that from my oldest friend."

司机说了句什么，可我没听明白，因为他似乎哽噎得厉害。于是我接着说：“我也真想收到这样一封老朋友的来

信。”

31 We were getting close to our destination so I skipped to the last paragraph. So I thought you'd

like to know that I was thinking of you. And it was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.

我们快到目的地了，于是我跳到最后一段。“因此我想你一定想知道我惦记着你。”信末署名：“老朋友汤姆”。

32 I handed back the letter as we stopped at my hotel. "Enjoyed talking with you,"I said as I took

my suitcase out of the cab. Tom? The letter was signed Tom? 我们在我的旅店前停下，我把信递了回去。“很高兴能和你聊聊，”我将衣箱从车上提下时说。汤姆？信的署名

是汤姆？

33 "I thought your friend's name was Ed," I said. "Why did he sign it Tom?"

“我记得你朋友叫埃德，”我说，“为什么他署名汤姆呢？”

34 "The letter was not from Ed to me," he explained. "I'm Tom. It's a letter I wrote to him before I

knew he'd died. So I never mailed it."

“这封信不是汤姆写给我的，”他解释说，“我是汤姆。这是我在得知他去世前写给他的信。所以我一直没寄出。”

35 He looked sort of sorrowful, or as if he were trying to see something in the distance. "I guess

I should have written it sooner."

他神情有点悲伤，似乎想看清远处什么东西。“我想我真该早些写这封信。”

36 When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away. First I had to write a letter ─and

mail it.

我进了旅馆房间之后，没有马上打开箱包。首先我得写封信——而且要寄出

Part ⅢText B Never Let A friend Down

If I don't make it, my friend will die out there, Bill McIntosh, the old hunter, told himself over and

over.

1 "Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 59-year-old Royce Wedding

as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel in the Australian town of Rainbow. Royce shook his head. "I

promised Mom I'd burn off the weeds on one of our fields."

决不抛弃朋友

吉姆·赫奇森

“下午去看足球赛吗？”比尔·麦金托什问59岁的罗伊斯·韦丁。他们两人正在澳大利亚的虹镇尤里卡饭店喝啤酒。

罗伊斯摇摇头。“我答应我妈给我家的一块地烧荒。”

2 Bill, who was thin but strong, looking far less than his 79 years, peered outside at the heat. A

light breeze was blowing from the north, making conditions perfect for the burn. But Bill felt uneasy

about Royce doing the job alone. The farmer had a bad leg and walked with great difficulty.

比尔瘦削而结实，79岁，但看上去远没有那么老。他望着外面的炎热空气。一阵轻风自北向南吹，这条件最适

宜烧荒了。不过比尔对罗伊斯独自干这活不放心。这个农夫有条腿不好，行走很费劲。

3 The pair had been best of friends for 30 years, ever since the days when they traveled together

from farm to farm in search of work. Now, living alone 12 miles east of town, Bill scraped a living

hunting foxes and rabbits. Once a fortnight he went to town to buy supplies and catch up with Royce,

who helped run the Wedding family's farm. "I'll give you a hand," Bill said.

两人曾一起从一个农场走到另一个农场寻些活儿干，迄今已是30年的好朋友了。如今比尔独自一人住在镇东

12英里处，靠打狐狸和野兔勉强过活。他两个星期一次前来小镇购物，会会帮着经管自家的农场的罗伊斯。“我帮

你一把，”比尔说。

4 The pair set off in Royce's car. Soon they were bumping over

a sandy track to the weed-choked

120-acre field. "Fire's the only way to get rid of this stuff," said Bill as they tied an old tire to the tow

bar with a 50-foot chain. Soaking the tire with gasoline, Bill put a match to it and jumped in the car.

两人坐着__________罗伊斯的车动身了。没多一会儿他们就颠簸在一条沙土路上，朝一块面积120公顷、杂草丛生的田地

开去。“火是除去这玩意儿的惟一办法，”比尔说。他们用根50英尺长的链条把一个旧轮胎绑在牵引杆上。比尔在轮

胎上浇透汽油，划根火柴一点，便跳进车里。

5 Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way upwind, leaving a line

of burning weeds in their wake. Half way up the field, and without warning, the car pitched violently

forward, plowing into a hidden bank of sand.

两人从农田的南边缓缓开车逆风而行，所过之处留下一条燃着的草带。开到地当中，车猛地朝前一颠，没等察

觉，就陷进了一个被草遮着的沙堆。

6 The breeze suddenly swung around to their backs and began to gather strength. Fanned to white

heat, the fire line suddenly burst into a wall of flame, heading directly toward them. "Let's get out of

here!" Royce said.

微风突然转向，朝两人身后吹来，而且越吹越强。火仗风势，烧得炽热，一条火带顿时就变成一道火墙，直扑

两人而来。“咱们快离开这儿！”罗伊斯说道。

7 Desperately he tried to back the car out of the sand bank. But the wheels only spun deeper in the

soft sand.

他拼命想把车倒出沙堆。可车轮在软沙里越转陷得越深。

8 Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself flung through the air

as, with a roar, the gasoline tank exploded and the car leapt three feet off the ground. When it crashed

back down Royce found himself pinned against the steering wheel, unable to move. The car's seats

and roof were now on fire.

火顿时就扑到两人身上。比尔推开车门，却听得一声巨响，油箱爆炸了，车子飞离地面三英尺，他自己则被抛

到空中。车子摔回地面后，罗伊斯发现自己被方向盘卡住，动弹不得。这时，车座和车顶也都烧着了。

9 Bill lay where he fell, all the breath knocked out of him. The front of his shirt, shorts, bare arms

and legs were soaked in burning gasoline. Then the sight of the car in flames brought him upright with

a start. "Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car.

比尔躺在跌落的地方，摔得气都喘不过来。他的衬衣前襟、短裤、光裸的手臂和双腿都浸在燃烧着的汽油里。

接着汽车着火了，见此情景他惊坐起来。“罗伊斯！”他边喊边挣扎着站起身来，向汽车冲去。

10 Pulling open the door, he seized Royce's arms through the smoke. "I'm stuck," Royce said. "Get

yourself away!"

他拉开车门，在烟雾中抓住罗伊斯的手臂。“我给卡住了，”罗伊斯说，“你快走！”

11 (1) The fire bit at Bill's arms, face and legs, but he tightened his grip on Royce. "I'm not leaving

you here," he said.

(1)火舌舔着比尔的双臂、脸和双腿，但他紧紧地抓住罗伊斯不放。“我不会把你丢弃在这儿的，”他说道。

12 Now Bill dug his heels into the sand and pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward.

Royce was free and out of the car. As soon as he had dragged him away he patted out the flames on

Royce's body and on his own legs and arms with his bare hands.

比尔两个脚跟扎在沙堆里，拼命用力拉。突然他仰面倒下，罗伊斯被拉出了汽车。他一把将罗伊斯拉开，便赶

紧赤手去扑灭罗伊斯身上以及自己腿上、手臂上的火。

13 Royce saw a second explosion rock the car, as it was eaten up by flames. I'd be ashes now if Bill

hadn't gotten me out, he thought. Looking down, Royce was shocked by the extent of his injuries. His

stomach and left hip were covered in deep burns. Worse still, his fingers were burned completely out

of shape.

罗伊斯看着又一次爆炸把汽车震得直晃，车一下子被火苗吞噬。“要不是比尔把我拉出来，我这会儿就烧成灰了，”

他暗想。他低头一看，身上伤势之严重令他大为惊讶。他腹部及左臀严重烧伤。更糟糕的是，手指被烧得完全变了

形。

14 Lying on his back, Bill was in equally bad shape. Pieces of blackened flesh and skin hung from

his forearms, hands and legs.

比尔仰天躺在地上，也一样被烧得不成样子。前臂以及手和腿上，一块块烧得

焦黑的皮肉挂了下来。

15 Bill looked across at his friend. Reading the despair clouding Royce's face, Bill said, "I'll get help.

You hang on." Royce nodded, but as he watched Bill set off slowly across the blackened field, he

wondered how his friend was going to walk almost two miles and get over three fences.

比尔朝自己的朋友望去，看出罗伊斯满脸绝望，便说：“我去叫人。你顶住。”罗伊斯点了点头，可当他看着比

尔穿过焦黑的田地缓缓走开时，真不知道这位朋友怎么去走那几乎整整两英里的路，还要跨越三道栅栏。

16 (2) A lifetime spent around the tough people who make their home in the Australian bush had

permanently fixed into Bill's soul two principles: never give up no matter how bad the odds and never

let a friend down. Now, with every step sending pain piercing through every part of his body, he drew

on those twin pillars of character.(3) If I don't make it, Royce will die out there, he told himself over

and over.

(2) 一辈子与居住在澳大利亚灌木地带的那些刚强的硬汉一起生活的人生经历，将两条准则永久地铭刻在比尔

心头：无论多么艰难，决不泄气，决不抛弃朋友。此时此刻，他每迈出一步，浑身上下便针扎似地疼，他完全是靠

这两种品质支撑着。(3) 如果我不能挺住的话，罗伊斯就会死在那里，比尔一次又一次地告诫自己。

17 "What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce's mom, peering out her window.

Startled by a noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.

“那条狗怎么啦？”罗伊斯的母亲维基·韦丁说着朝窗外望去。听到身后响动，她吓了一跳，转身一看，比尔正倚

靠在门上。

18 "Dear God, what happened?" she exclaimed, grabbing Bill as he slid down the doorframe.

“天哪，出了什么事？”她惊问道，赶紧扶住正沿着门框瘫坐下去的比尔。

19 "We got caught in the fire," he whispered, barely able to speak. "Get help." Vicky sat Bill down,

covered him in wet towels to ease the pain of his burns, and then picked up the phone.

“我们遭火烧了，”他低声道，几乎说不出话来。“快去叫人。”维基扶比尔坐下，用湿毛巾敷在他身上以减轻烧

伤的疼痛，随后便拿起了电话。

_______20 Throughout the bumpy, hour-and-a-half ride to the hospital in Horsham, neither of the two

injured men spoke of their pain. "We should've gone to the football match," Royce said, trying to keep

their spirits up. Bill grinned weakly.

他们坐上汽车前往霍舍姆的医院，在长达一个半小时的颠簸的路途中，两位伤者只字未提自己的伤痛。“咱们真

该去看足球赛，”罗伊斯开口说道，想让自己和朋友振作一下精神。比尔也轻轻一笑。

21 Not long after Bill found himself at Government House being presented with the Bravery Medal

for his courageous rescue. (4) But the real highlight for Bill came six months after the fire, when

Royce, just out of hospital, walked into the Eureka Hotel and bought him a beer.

不久，比尔在镇公所被授予勇敢奖章，以表彰其勇救他人的壮举。(4) 但真正最令比尔激动的时刻是火灾发生

六个月之后，刚刚出院的罗伊斯走进尤里卡饭店，请他喝啤酒。

22 "We made it," said Royce as they raised their glasses. "Here's to the best friend a man could

have."

“咱们赢了，”两人举杯时，罗伊斯说道，“为生死之交干杯。”

Unit 3 Understanding Science

Part ⅡText A A Public Attitudes Toward Science

Professor Hawking thinks it important to keep everybody in touch with what science is about. In

this article he explains why.

霍金教授认为使每个人都了解科学是干什么的非常重要。在这篇文章中，他对其中的缘由作了解释。

Public Attitudes Toward Science

Stephen Hawking

1 Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred years,

and it is likely to change even more in the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these

changes and go back to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history shows, the past was

not that wonderful. It was not so bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do without

modern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the

population, life was nasty, brutish, and short.

公众科学观

斯蒂芬·霍金

无论我们是否愿意，我们生活的世界在过去一百年间已经变化了许多，而且在未来的一百年里可能变化更多。

有人想中止这种种变化，回到那个他们认为更纯洁更朴素的时代。但正如历史所表明的，过去并非那么美妙。过去

对享有特权的少数人不算太糟，但即便他们也无从享受现代医疗，而生育对妇女来说风险极大。对占人口大多数的

民众而言，生活是艰难、残忍而又短暂的。

2 Anyway, even if one wanted to, one couldn't put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge

and techniques can't just be forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all

government money for research were cut off (and the present government is doing its best), the

force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover, one cannot stop

inquiring minds from thinking about basic science, whether or not they are paid for it. The only way

to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human

initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn't succeed. All it would do is slow down

the rate of change.

不管怎样，即使有人想这么做，他也无法将时钟拨回到早先的时代。知识与技术不可能说忘就忘了。也没有人

能阻止未来的进一步发展。即使所有用于研究的政府资金都被取消（现政府最擅此事），竞争的力量仍将继续带来

技术的发展。更何况，没有人能阻止探究求索之士去思索基础科___________学，无论他们是否会为此得到酬劳。惟一能阻止进

一步发展的办法或许是一个压制任何新事物的全球政府，但人类的进取心与创造力如此旺盛，即便这个政府也不会

成功。它所能做到的只是延缓变化的速度。

3 If we accept that we cannot prevent science and technology from changing our world, we can at

least try to ensure that the changes they make are in the right directions. In a democratic society,

this means that the public needs to have a basic understanding of science, so that it can make

informed decisions and not leave them in the hands of experts. At the moment, the public is in two

全新版大学英语综合教程1课文对照翻译BY12020212

- 15 -

minds about science. It has come to expect the steady increase in the standard of living that new

developments in science and technology have brought to continue, but it also distrusts science

because it doesn't understand it. This distrust is evident in the cartoon figure of the mad scientist

working in his laboratory to produce a Frankenstein. It is also an important element behind support

for the Green parties. But the public also has a great interest in science, particularly astronomy, as

is shown by the large audiences for television series such as The Sky at Night and for science

fiction.

如果我们承认，我们无法阻止科学技术改变我们的世界，我们至少可以努力确保科技带来的变化方向正确。在

一个民主社会里，这意味着公众需要对科学有一个基本的了解，从而可以作出明达的决定，而不是把决定留给专家

去作。目前，公众对科学存有矛盾之心。公众期望科技新发展带来的生活水准的稳定提高能继续，但又怀疑科学，

因为他们不懂科学。那个在实验室里设法制造弗兰肯斯泰因的疯狂的科学家的卡通人物清楚地体现了公众的这种怀

疑。这也是人们之所以支持各种绿色组织的一个重要因素。但公众同时也对科学深感兴趣，尤其是对天文学，诸如

《夜空》之类的电视连续剧观众不少以及科幻小说读者甚多就是明证。

4 What can be done to harness this interest and give the public the scientific background it needs

to make informed decisions on subjects like acid rain, the greenhouse effect, nuclear weapons,

and genetic engineering? Clearly, the basis must lie in what is taught in schools. But in schools

science is often presented in a dry and uninteresting manner. Children learn it by rote to pass

examinations, and they don't see its relevance to the world around them. Moreover, science is often

taught in terms of equations. Although equations are a brief and accurate way of describing

mathematical ideas, they frighten most people. When I wrote a popular book recently, I was advised

that each equation I included would halve the sales. I included one equation, Einstein's famous

equation, E=mc2. Maybe I would have sold twice as many copies without it.

怎么样才能利用这种兴趣，向公众提供所需要的科学知识，以便其在酸雨、温室效应、核武器以及基因工程等

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

新职业英语·职业综合英语课文翻译 第一课谷歌 上过互联网的人都见过谷歌，许多人要在互联网上查找某方面的信息时，他们都会去“谷歌”一下。作为全世界最有名的互联网搜索引擎，谷歌是网络业界功成名就的最好范例之一。 谷歌始于1996年1月斯坦福大学博士生拉里?佩奇的一个研究项目。为了找到一种能帮助网络用户搜索到相关网页的更好方法，佩奇设想可以通过检索网页之间的关系来实现。他认为其他网页链接最多的那些网页一定是最受欢迎的，这项技术结果看起来是成功的。 佩奇和他的合作伙伴谢尔盖?布林于1998年9月7日创建了自己的公司，并在之后的一周注册了https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ce18798647.html,这一网址。这个搜索引擎很快声名鹊起，2000年谷歌开始在自己的网站出售广告。在投资者的热情资助下，经过几年的发展，谷歌上市了，谷歌的很多雇员一夜之间成了百万富翁。 谷歌最近收购了互联网最大的视频共享网站https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ce18798647.html,，而且每天都在不断增加一些新功能，如工具栏、邮件和广告。当然，成长与成功也带来了竞争。微软最近就试图收购雅虎以便能在互联网搜索引擎领域与谷歌抗衡。 随着公司的壮大与知名度的提高，谷歌在美国公司就业吸引力的排名也上升到第一。他们尝试打破传统的办公室设计，努力把办公室变成员工感觉舒适、并能充分发挥自己才华的地方。 现在，谷歌已拥有YouTube、Blogger和其他一些热门网站，并且成为网络广告收入方面的领头羊。当初两个学生的一个小点子已发展成为一家拥有十亿美元资产的大公司，谷歌也成为全球最著名的商标之一。谷歌的发展史为当今的网络企业家树立了一个完美的典范，也提供了灵感。 第二课秘书 秘书可能会有很多其他不同的头衔，例如行政助理、文员或私人助理。尽管所有这些头衔都以行政工作为主旨，但它们却反映了不同种类的秘书工作。秘书岗位十分古老，例如，古希腊和罗马的商人和政客们就曾雇用私人秘书和文员来管理他们的事务。 秘书的工作就是使办公室顺利运转。秘书的职责范围很广，依据他们所在办公室的不同而各异。就最低要求来说，秘书要处理信函，跟踪日程安排，管理文件系统，操作电话、传真机、复印机等办公设备。许多秘书还要接听电话，并将其转给适当的人员。有些秘书还要负责办公室用品的采购，他们也可能会处理预算、簿记和人事文档。秘书应当具备使用电脑和其他电子设备的经验，因为他们将处理大量的电子资料，包括往来信函。

译文 第一单元 友谊的真谛 米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯 我们探讨友谊这个概念时，遇到的第一个问题是，没有社会公认的择友标准。在某一情境下，我们会把某个人称为朋友；然而，情境一旦变迁，朋友这个称呼就显得没那么贴切了。因此，人们对友谊的真谛的理解往往是非常肤浅的。为了帮助我们理解友谊的真正含义，我们需要回顾有关友谊的几种传统的看法。 一种传统的友谊观在古希腊著名的哲学家亚里士多德的著作里得以阐述。他将自己心目中真正的友谊同另外两种友谊截然分开。这两种友谊分别是：基于互利的友谊；基于愉悦的友谊。因此，根据亚里士多德的观点，我们可以将友谊分为三类： 建立在功利之上的友谊。|功利并非永恒，它依照环境而变化。友谊的根基一旦消失，友谊也随之破灭。这类友谊似乎在老人之间最为常见，因为上了年纪的人需要的不是愉悦而是实用。基于功利的友谊也同样存在于追逐个人利益的中年人和青年人中。这些人不会在一起消磨时光，因为他们有时甚至不喜欢对方，因而觉得除非可以互相利用，否则没有交往的必要。只有当他们认为彼此有希望相互利用的时 候，才会乐于呆在一起。 建立在愉悦之上的友谊。|年轻人之间的友谊常被看作是建立在愉悦基础之上的，因为年轻人的生活受感情支配，他们感兴趣的主要是自己的快乐和眼前的重要机会。然而，他们的情趣随着自己日渐成长也会变化，他们交友容易，分手也干脆。年轻人的态度变化无常，甚至一日数变，难怪他们的友谊总是迅速地开始，又匆匆地结束。 建立在美德之上的友谊。|完美无瑕的友谊立足于美德。只有那些品德高尚而且拥有相似美德的人之间建立的友谊才是最完美的。品行高尚的人，其行为是相同的，或者是类似的。爱和友谊多半在品行高尚的人之间发生，而且以最高雅的形式出现。这种友谊是罕见的，需要时间，需要交 往。常言道，真正的朋友必须同甘共苦，历经风雨。只有当两个人互相证明自己值得爱并获得对方的信任之后，彼此方能接受对方为朋友。交友的意愿可能倏忽而至，但真正的友谊却要慢慢培养。 另一种传统的友谊观可以在古罗马政治家、演说家西塞罗的著作里找到。西塞罗认为，真正的友谊只能在好人之间发生。他进而将“好人”定义为“那些行为和生活无损于自己的荣誉、纯洁、公平和开明的人；那些摆脱了贪婪、欲念和暴力的人；那些敢于依照自己的信念说话和做事的人。”好人之间建立的这种友谊立足于美德，它确实可以带来物质利益，但决不以追求物质利益为目标。人类生活在以共同的理想为基础的社会。因此，在处理朋友关系和其他人际关系时，优越于他人的人必须平等地对待那些没那么幸运的人。美德创造友谊，美德使友谊之树常青。 我们由此可以看出，传统的友谊观由三个要素构成：朋友以相伴为乐；朋友必须彼此受益；彼此都有志于崇高的事业。这些传统的友谊观告诉我们，两个品德高尚的朋友是永不分离的，因为彼此认同对方的高尚品德。因此，认识朋友就是认识自我，了解朋友就是了解自我。可

NUIT1 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。但是，20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。 20世纪60年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966年，罗纳德?里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。 20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米?亨德里克斯或兰尼?布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50％的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20世纪60年代大学生所发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛，如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化协会最近做了一项调查，研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时所考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是：课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式，以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段，是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会，上大学本身不再是目的，不再是给你提供一个机会，让你暂时想象一下：你能够改变世界。 童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了，大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能和经济有关。在一个没有保障的世界里，现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户，因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今，大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友，没问题，我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。

为自己而写 从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这—一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—·本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。 我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年，不少日子过去了，还真率出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题供我们选择。像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数—样乏味。我把作文题带回家，——直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。… 这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有—个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作—团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那…切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐，而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而，照我希望的那样去写，就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后，我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分，再没时间为弗利格尔先生写——篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午，我别无选择，只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文，他把别人的都发了，·就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命—放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训，却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文，敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 “好了，孩子们，”他说。“我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是：吃意大利细面条的艺术。” 于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是，全班同学都在听着他念，而且听得很专心。有人笑出声来，接着全班都笑了，不是轻蔑嘲弄，而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次，好抑制他那丝拘谨的微笑。我尽力不流露出得意的心情，但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑，我真是心花怒放。就在十——年级，可谓是最后的时刻，我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的——刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道：“瞧，孩子们，这就是小品文，懂了没有。这才是一知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓，知道了没有。祝贺你，贝克先生。”他这番话使我沉浸 在十全十美的幸福之中

unit 4 Was Einstein a Space Alien? 1 Albert Einstein was exhausted. For the third night in a row, his baby son Hans, crying, kept the household awake until dawn. When Albert finally dozed off ... it was time to get up and go to wor k. He couldn't skip a day. He needed the job to support his young family. 1. 阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦精疲力竭。他幼小的儿子汉斯连续三个晚上哭闹不停，弄得全家人直到天亮都无法入睡。阿尔伯特总算可以打个瞌睡时，已是他起床上班的时候了。他不能一天不上班，他需要这份工作来养活组建不久的家庭。 2 Walking briskly to the Patent Office, where he was a "Technical Expert, Third Class," Albert w orried about his mother. She was getting older and frail, and she didn't approve of his marriage to Mileva. Relations were strained. Albert glanced at a passing shop window. His hair was a mess; he had forgotten to comb it again. 2. 阿尔伯特是专利局三等技术专家。在快步去专利局上班的路上，他为母亲忧心忡忡。母亲年纪越来越大，身体虚弱。她不同意儿子与迈尔娃的婚事，婆媳关系紧张。阿尔伯特瞥了一下路过的商店的橱窗，看见自己头发凌乱，他又忘了梳头了。 3 Work. Family. Making ends meet. Albert felt all the pressure and responsibility of any young h usband and father. 3. 工作，家庭，维持生计——阿尔伯特感受到了一位年轻丈夫和年轻父亲所要承担的全部压力和责任。 To relax, he revolutionized physics. 他想放松下，却使物理学发生了突破性进展 4 In 1905, at the age of 26 and four years before he was able to get a job as a professor of physic s, Einstein published five of the most important papers in the history of science--all written in his " spare time." He proved that atoms and molecules existed. Before 1905, scientists weren't sure abo ut that. He argued that light came in little bits (later called "photons") and thus laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. He described his theory of special relativity: space and time were threads in a common fabric, he proposed, which could be bent, stretched and twisted. 4. 1905年，在他被聘为物理学教授的前四年，26岁的爱因斯坦发表了科学史上最重要论文中的五篇——这些论文都是他在“业余时间”完成的。他证明了原子和分子的存在。1905年之前，科学家们对此没有把握。爱因斯坦论证说光以微粒形态出现（后来被称为“光子”），这为量子力学奠定了基础。他把狭义相对论描写为：时空如同普通织物中的线，他提出，这些线可以弯曲、拉长和交织在一起。 5 Oh, and by the way, E=mc2. 5. 对了，顺便提一下，E = mc2。 6 Before Einstein, the last scientist who had such a creative outburst was Sir Isaac Newton. It ha ppened in 1666 when Newton secluded himself at his mother's farm to avoid an outbreak of plagu e at Cambridge. With nothing better to do, he developed his Theory o f Universal Gravitation. 6. 在爱因斯坦之前，最近一位迸发出如此创造性思想的科学家当数艾萨克牛顿

Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live 在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life Jim Doherty 有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。如今我同时做着这两件事。作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。 这是一种自力更生的生活。我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。 这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。 但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前，气温降

到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样，在这种情形之下，坏人不得闲――贤德之人也歇不了。 我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。 开春后，有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆
