都市神话还是都市传奇?

伦敦有着世界上最为庞大的地下隧道网络。但是对某些伦敦居民来说,隧道不仅仅给他们的生活提供了便利——他们还以此为家。伦敦地下人是生活在街道下面的一族。他们属于人类,却不会说英语,他们有自己的风俗习惯。他们中的个别人偶尔也会到地面上来。他们只有在晚上才会从一条黑魆魆的偏僻街道的下水道里钻出来,到地面上活动,而且一听到脚步声,他们就会躲到黑暗的小巷子里藏身,直到没有了动静才出来。日出之前,他们又会回到地下。没有几个伦敦人真正见过他们,但是某人的朋友的朋友曾经见过他们好几次。

这是真事吗?很可能不是。这是在很多语言中被称为都市神话的一个典型例子。都市神话是你通过口口相传听来的故事,讲述的是一些可能发生过的事情,一个杜撰的,从别处听来的故事,却被当作真事来讲,听起来像真的似的。不论是真是假,都市神话依赖的是讲故事的技巧以及来源的可靠性,比如“这件事发生在我弟弟的朋友的母亲的身上。”

但是,有一些学者认为都市神话并非真正的神话。在他们看来,神话故事对于讲故事和过去听故事的人来说都有某种宗教或精神层面的意义,而且神话帮助人们表达共同的信仰和价值观。不管一个神话看上去是多么匪夷所思,对于那些从属于这些文化的人来说,它们永远是真实可信的。

那么我们该不该用“都市神话”这个术语呢?让我们来看一下经久不衰的都市神话之一:“消失的搭车客”。故事的大概是:一个司机独自开车行驶在漆黑的乡村公路上,他看到一位年轻女子在路边要搭车。司机停下来,让她上了车。很快司机就把她送到了目的地,他们相互道别。可直到后来停车时司机才发现,这个年轻女子落了一件外套在车上,兜里还装着一个钱包,有的故事是兜里装着个旧信封。于是他按照钱包里或信封上的地址把外套送回去。一位老妇人开了门,司机向她讲述了事情的经过。原来,这件外套是老妇人女儿的,而她的女儿已经在几年前的车祸中去世了,车祸的地点正是司机让她上车的那个地方。那一天也正是车祸的周年纪念日。

事实上,和许多别的神话一样,这个故事可以追溯到20世纪或是21世纪的汽车和公路出现之前的其他国家和地区,比如瑞典和东非。这个故事还具有传统神话所共有的其他一些特征。正如我们所看到的,这个故事是讲给那些愿意相信它并持有相同的文化价值观的人听的。多年以来,这个故事被人们讲了又讲,在不同的地方还被添加了专属于各地文化的一些元素。最后,这个故事变得好玩、刺激,引人入胜。

另外一个很出名的都市神话是关于佛罗里达小短吻鳄鱼的故事,大人们去佛罗里达度假,回纽约的时候会给孩子们带几条小鳄鱼。后来短吻鳄越长越大,不像小时候那么可爱了。大人们只好把它们扔进抽水马桶里冲掉。但是其中一些短吻鳄活了下来,所以现在有一些成年短吻鳄在纽约曼哈顿街区下面游荡。

这也是一个神话,因为它描绘了一个城市或地区的地理状况,提醒人们注意某些潜在的危险。在希腊神话中,奥德修斯在意大利大陆和西西里岛之间狭窄而危险的海峡里航行,前有女海妖斯库拉,后有海妖卡律布狄斯。短吻鳄的故事也同样是要提醒纽约人,坐地铁的时候要注意安全。

都市神话也可以是道德故事或是“警示”故事。这其中最有名的是,一个男子坐在旅馆的酒吧间喝酒,有一个人请他喝了一杯。等他醒来的时候,发现自己躺在房间的浴缸里,身子被埋在冰块下面。墙上贴了一张纸条告诉他不要乱动,立刻打911。接线员遇到过很多这样的情况,让他去摸一下后背下部,动作一定要缓慢。如果脊部插着一根管子,那就说明他的肾被人摘走了,卖掉供人移植了。这个故事的寓意是:如果有人请你喝酒,你一定要提高警惕。

同样,传统神话也告诉人们在各自的社会中应该如何恰当地为人处事。在神话中,神之所以如此行事,是要为人类树立一个好榜样。神话中人的行为高尚且勇敢。有时候神话中的人类英雄在历史上可能确有其人,可能正因为他们的高尚行为而变成了神。

近年来,越来越多的都市神话不是通过口口相传,而是通过电子邮件的形式广为流传的,这些邮件通常是告诉大家要小心某一种病毒,它会删除你硬盘里的文件。通常只要看到那种“如果不把这封信转发给别人,就会有灾难性的后果”的警告,而且用了很多大写字母和惊叹号,你就知道这是一个都市神话。还有很多网络传言,它们对一些微不足道的小细节添油加醋,或者是捕风捉影,在流传过程中加入了越来越多的虚假证据,以证明它们的真实性。

但这是神话吗?不是,不是传统意义上的神话。事实上,有一个更为准确的词“骗局”,就是一些看上去是真的,而最终发现是假的,并且是用来故意误导人的东西。真正的神话其动机总是善意的。

都市神话具有所有神话所共有的一些特征:它们通常记录了一些事件,人们相信它们的真实性,它们以口头形式代代相传,并且被逐渐夸大,它们通常包含一个道德寓意,或是警示某种特定情形或情况下可能存在的危险,它们告诉人们应该做什么、怎么做。从形式上看,对于21世纪的听众来说,它们和希腊、罗马、凯尔特、维京、美索不达米亚以及中国的神

话一样真实可信。

但不同的是,真正的神话里总是有神或者接近神的英雄人物,有的神话讲述了创造世界和世界上的一些自然现象,如雷电、圣山之类的。与之相反,都市神话更为世俗化。伦敦的地下人和神灵没有半点关系,那个搭车客和司机也不是什么英雄,纽约的短吻鳄不代表什么自然现象,那个倒霉的商人的故事虽然是警示性的,但也绝对说不上是为英雄行为树立了榜样。

总之,都市神话根本就不是神话,它是一种传奇,讲述一些新近发生的事情,故事是依据历史事件和人类英雄,或者仙女、女巫及其他的虚构人物来编排的。都市神话中的神话这个词我们只能从它的次要意项去理解:一些并非真实的东西。

厄科和那喀索斯

厄科是一位美丽的仙女,她喜欢流连于森林和山峦之中,在那儿尽情地游戏。她最得狄安娜的宠爱,在追猎时一直侍奉其左右。但是厄科有一个缺点,她喜欢说个不停,不管是闲聊还是争论,她总要说最后一个字(得由她说了算)才肯罢休。有一天,朱诺正四处寻找她的丈夫,怕他又在仙女中寻花问柳,她的担忧并非没有道理。厄科上去和朱诺搭话,设法拖住这位女神,让仙女们得以脱身。后来朱诺得知了事情的真相,她对厄科施加了惩罚,她说:“你用你的舌头欺骗了我,以后你再也不能用它说话了,除了一种情况——回答——这也是你最喜欢的。你可以说出最后一个字,但是你永远没有办法先开口。”

这位仙子看见了那喀索斯,一位英俊的青年,当时他正在山上打猎。厄科深深地爱上了他,并一直跟着他。哦,她多么渴望用最温柔的话语对他倾诉衷肠,让他和自己交谈。但是她没有这个能力。她急不可耐地等着他先开口,并且想好了该如何回答。有一天,这位青年和他的伙伴们走散了,他高声呼喊:“是谁在这里?”“这里,”厄科回答说。那喀索斯环顾四周,没见到半个人影。于是又喊道:“出来吧。”厄科回答:“出来吧。”看没人出来,那喀索斯又大声喊:“你为什么躲着我?”厄科也问了同样的问题。“让我们见个面吧,”青年说。厄科全心全意地用相同的话回答,然后飞速奔向那喀索斯,准备紧紧地搂住他的脖子。他惊得连忙后退,大叫:“放手!我宁死也不想让你抱我。”“抱我,”她说,但是没有用。那喀索斯走了,而厄科羞愧难当,跑进树林深处躲了起来。从那时起,她就生活在洞穴里和山崖间。因为悲伤她日渐消瘦,到最后所有的血肉都萎缩了。她的骨头变成了岩石,整个人只剩下了声音。任何人叫她,她都回答,而且就和以前一样,只说最后那句话。

那喀索斯不是只对厄科一个人无情。他像躲着厄科一样,对所有的仙女避之不及。有一天,一位少女竭力想吸引他,但没有成功,一气之下,她祈祷说:总有一天那喀索斯会尝到付出了爱却得不到回应的滋味。复仇女神听到了这个祷告,应允了她的祈求。

林中有一口清泉,泉水清亮如银,牧羊人从来不把羊群赶到这里,山羊从不在此驻足,林中的百兽也不在这儿逗留,泉水上没有落叶残枝,但水边芳草萋萋,还有岩石替它遮蔽烈日。有一天,那喀索斯打猎之后筋疲力尽,汗流浃背,口干舌燥,于是他来到泉边。正当他俯身饮泉水时,他看见了水中自己的倒影,却以为那是一个住在水中的美丽水精灵。他满怀爱意地注视着水中那双明亮的眼眸,那像巴克斯和阿波罗一样卷曲的秀发,圆润的面颊,象牙般的雪白脖颈,微启的双唇,还有全身散发出的健康与活力。他爱上了自己,俯身去吻水中的影子;他把双手伸入水中去拥抱这个心爱之物。那影子一碰就立刻消失得无影无踪,但过一会又出现了,再一次让他心驰神迷。他不舍得离开,茶饭不思,徘徊在泉边凝视着自己的倒影。他对着那所谓的水精灵说:“为什么,美丽的精灵,你要避开我?你不会讨厌我的容貌,仙女们都喜欢我,而你注视我的眼神也并非冷漠无情。我伸出双臂,你也伸出双臂;我向你微笑招手,你也向我微笑招手。”他的泪水落入泉水中,打散了水中的影子。看到水精灵离他而去,他呼喊道:“留下来吧!我求你了,如果我不能触摸你的话,至少让我注视着你。”他还说了好多类似的甜言蜜语,如痴如醉,情深意浓。渐渐地,他那曾经让厄科心醉神迷的气色、活力以及美貌都逝去了。厄科一直陪伴在他的身边,当他呼喊:“天哪!天哪!”的时候,她也以同样的话语回应。他日渐憔悴,最终死去了;当他的幽灵经过冥河时,他斜倚着探出身子,要再看一眼水中自己的影子。仙女们为他伤心垂泪,尤其是水中的那些仙女;她们捶胸,厄科也捶胸。她们为他准备了火葬的柴堆,准备火化他的遗体,但是哪里也找不着他的尸体;在他的遗体躺过的地方,仙女找到了一枝花,紫色的花朵外面裹着白色的叶子。这种花就叫那喀索斯,它让人们永远记住了那喀索斯。

12456单元 Love and logic: The story of fallacy 爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后,我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有,也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景,足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半,我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”,她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”,让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway.

We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后,我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区,我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里,我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么?”她问道。 "Logic." “逻辑学。” "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 "The doctrine of logic,” I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理,”我说道,“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实,其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做…绝对判断?的逻辑谬误。”

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

Unit1奔向更加光明的未来 1 下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里,我们承诺 将使你们学有所成。 2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们:“姿势自然点。” “等一等 , ”爸爸说,“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。” 在大学期间,那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。 3 让我来告诉你们, 一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯,怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣,你 们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣!但是要记住:未来是建立在过 去扎实的基础上的。 4 对你们而言,接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里,你们拥有丰富的资源:有来自全国各地的有趣的学生,有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师,有综合性图书馆,有完备的运动设施,还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油,学着结交充满魅力的人,学着 去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历,并用你们的干劲和热情去收获 这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 5 有这么多课程可供选择,你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程,但是要尽可能 体验更多的课程!大学里有很多事情可做可学,每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世 界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话,那就是:挑战自己!不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样,你不仅会变得更加博学,而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移,王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来,并将其转化为对设计的热情,从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 6 在大学里,一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里,住在你 隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌,令你头痛欲裂!你可能喜欢早起,而你的室友 却是个夜猫子!尽管如此,你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心,不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训,从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以,带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情,勇敢向前去拥抱这些新的体验吧! 7 我们相信,你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信,当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时,你们很快就会认识到,大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会,同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过:“教育代代相传,它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者,也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识,并把知识传递给你们,而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识?你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好?你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来? 8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会,也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们!

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 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美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箱槽口鼓捣。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。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙槽口,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——这是走近槽口的最终目的,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美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好,画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说,他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境,在这些情境中,一个人必须学会独立思考,学会独立解决问题,进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来,当时我就清楚地意识到,这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时,他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反,他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到,这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为:他们是在恪守中国传统,把着手教,教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

新视野Book3 汉译英翻译 Unit 1 Translate the following paragraph into English 如今,很多年轻人不再选择“稳定”的工作,他们更愿意自主创业,依靠自己的智慧和奋斗去实现自我价值。青年创业(young entrepreneurship)是未来国家经济活力的来源,创业者的成功不但会创造财富、增加就业机会、改善大家的生活,从长远来看,对于国家更是一件好事,创业者正式让中国经济升级换代的力量。尤其是在当前,国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新,在政策上给予中小企业支持,这更加激发了年轻人的创业热情。 Nowadays, many young people no longer choose“stable” jobs. Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts. Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses. This further arouses young people’s enthusiasm to start their own businesses. Unit 2 Translate the following paragraph into English 实现中华民族伟大复兴(rejuvenation)是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想,我称之为“中国梦”,其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦,是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念:只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣,而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦,也是每个中国人的梦。 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Translate the following paragraph into English 水墨画(ink and wash painting)是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一,是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代,兴盛于宋代和元代,距今已有一千多年的历史,其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨,其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如,水和墨相互调和,使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意向,从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位,甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢?它们会得到加强还是削弱?作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿,在芝加哥长大,就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁,过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方,先是在伦敦,1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年,他放弃美国护照,成为英国公民,因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要,”他说,“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友,又喜欢你所做的事情,那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒,但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利,现在经营着一家法国技术公司,该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而,尽管曼德尔全球到处跑,已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间,但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人,”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
