UNIT 1

陌生人的善意

迈克?麦金太尔

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。这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。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科医生的。

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贴了邮票的明信片:一张是让她知道我这趟旅行结果如何;另一张是要第二天寄出的,告诉她我在哪里,免得她为我担心。

16 听说我没钱,又不愿意接受钱,每个州的人们都会给我买食物或者和我分享他们手头有的东西。在加州的尤凯亚,一位国家公园管理员给了我一些胡萝卜,一名大学生给了我几大袋有机西红柿和瓜类。艾奥瓦州的一名妇女给了我两大包全麦饼干,两罐果汁汽水、两个金枪鱼罐头、两个苹果和两块鸡肉。

17 拥有最少的人往往给予的最多。在俄勒冈一个叫迈克的房屋油漆工注意到天气十分寒冷,就问我有没有外套。我回答说“有件薄的”,他开车带我去他家,翻遍了车库,递给我一件肥大的绿色军大衣。

18 在俄勒冈的另一个地方,一个叫蒂姆的锯木厂工人邀请我去他们破旧的家里和他家人一起吃了顿简单的晚餐。他给了我一本《圣经》,然后又要把家里的帐篷给我。我拒绝了,因为我知道那极有可能是这家人最值钱的一样东西了。然而蒂姆执意让我接受,所以最后我只好同意。

19 我感激我所遇到的所有人,感谢他们让我搭车,给我食物,给我提供住处,送我礼物。但最友善的举动是,他们是那么自然真诚。

20 有一天,我走进了田纳西州的詹姆斯敦一家当地商会。在这座古老建筑里一个男人从他凌乱的桌子旁站起身。“请进,”59岁的巴克斯特?威尔逊说。他是那儿的执行会长。

21 我向他打听在当地露营的事。他递给我一本当地露营地的小册子。“需要我帮你打电话吗?”他问。

22 我一看露营得花12美元,就回答,“不用了,没事。我也不知道我该怎么做。”

23 这时他看见了我的背包。“这里差不多每个人都会让你在他们的地里支帐篷的,如果那是你所想要的话。”他说。

24 这话就对了,我想。“有没具体的方位?”我问。

25 “跟你说吧,我有个大农场,在从这儿往南大概10英里。要是你五点半能在这儿,我可以开车带你去。”

26 我接受了,于是我们开车去了一幢华丽的乡村住宅。突然,我意识到他是邀请了我到他家过夜。

27 我们走进厨房时,他的妻子卡萝尔正在炖牛肉块。她是一名七年级的科学老师,简直就是南方魅力的化身。

28 巴克斯特解释说,当地人是“不爱外出的山里人”,他觉得自己也是这么一个人。“我们很少在家里招待客人,”他

说,“招待的话,一般是亲戚。”他的这番透露让我那一夜变得更加不同寻常。

29 第二天我下楼时,卡萝尔问我愿不愿意去学校跟她班上的孩子们谈谈我的旅行。我告诉她我可不想怂恿一帮七年级的孩子去搭便车游遍美国,但卡萝尔说孩子们应该接触到外面的世界是什么样子——包括好的一面和坏的一面。“他们需要了解真相,”她说。

30 我同意了。没过多久,我就被安排给学校每个班讲话。所有的孩子都彬彬有礼而且聚精会神。他们的问题不断冒出来:哪儿的人们最友善?我穿坏过多少双鞋?有没有人试图轧死我?别的地方的猪脚也有这么好吗?我有没有爱上过谁?我最害怕的是什么?

31 尽管我并没有打算这么做,我发现爱国主义的语调贯穿了那天下午的讲话。我告诉学生们,我对美利坚的信念如何重新燃起了。我告诉他们,生活在一个人们仍然愿意帮助陌生人的国度里,我有多么自豪。我告诉他们,我当初计划这次旅行时脑子里的问题已经得到明确的解答。的确,不管你是谁,你仍然可以依赖陌生人的善意。

Read and Explore

Task One Discovering the Main Ideas

1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.

1) Why didn’t the author stop for the hitchhiker?

He thought that someone else would stop for him. And he was afraid of a possible robbery.

2) Did he feel guilty for not helping the young man?

No. He didn’t. But he was bothered by his easy and quick decision of leaving the young man stranded alone in the desert.

3) Why did the author decide to start his journey across America pennilessly?

He wanted to test if a person could still rely solely on the kindness of strangers or the good will of his fellow Americans these days.

4) What did he discover as he travelled?

He found out that others shared his fear. Yet they still stubbornly helped strangers like him.

5) What had happened to the trucker the author met on a rainy day?

He was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker.

6) What conclusion did the author draw from his experiences mentioned in Paras. 15–18?

He found that people were generally compassionate. And those who had the least to give often gave the most.

7) Why did Carol invite the author to talk to her class about his trip?

She thought the children should be exposed to what else was out there — the good and the bad.

8) What conclusion did the author make about his trip when he talked to the students?

He concluded that his faith in America had been renewed and that people could still depend on the kindness of strangers.

2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part. Part: One; Paragraph(s): 1–7; Main Idea: Because of a past experience of neglecting a hitchhiker in need of help, the author decided to travel across America without any money to find out if one could still rely on the kindness of strangers these days.

Part: Two; Paragraph(s): 8–28; Main Idea: During his trip, he found out that people were generally compassionate and willing to help although they might have fears.

Part: Three; Paragraph(s):29-31; Main Idea: He talked to school children and concluded in a patriotic manner that in America people could still depend on the kindness of strangers.

Task Two Reading Between the Lines

Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.

1) In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. (Para. 1)

By doing so, the young man was telling the passing drivers that he wanted to hitchhike as his car had run out of gas.

2) The week I turned 37, I realized I’d never taken a gamble in my life. (Para. 7)

This week I would be 37 years old, yet I realized that I had always been very careful in my life and I had never taken a risk, for example, trusting on the kindness of others.

3) It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. (Para. 7)

The author is being a bit sarcastic here. He would take no money with him and travel across the US, where it is believed that money can do everything and anything. The phrase "almighty dollar" is a playful allusion to the familiar term "Almighty God"

4) Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled.

I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help

a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. (Para. 11)

I was amazed by the continual show of kindness of my fellow Americans, even though helping a stranger would mean taking a risk.

5) I didn’t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. (Para. 13)

The author had mixed feelings: whether to kiss the two women for their kindness, or give them a lesson by cautioning them not to trust any stranger, for they could have run into a bad person instead of himself.

Checking Your Comprehension

1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.

1) What is the author and his wife’s opinion about becoming

a true friend to someone whose name they don’t know? The author and his wife used to think that it was virtually impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name they didn’t know. But now they realize they w ere wrong. Years of Sunday-morning bus trip through the city with the same “nameless” people have completely changed their thinking.

2) Why does the author say that taking the Sunday-morning bus trip requires teamwork though they don’t know each other’s names?

There is always the same group of regular passengers. The bus driver and the passengers acted routinely with due care and attention, as if they were cooperating in a team. The driver should perform his duties well and the passengers should obey the written and unwritten rules. There should be no smoking, no littering, and everyone should behave in a polite and decent manner. Under such circumstances, names are no longer important.

3) What can we learn about the silent woman from Para. 5? The silent woman always sits up front and never responds to others’ greetings. Her worn clothing suggests that she is not rich. However, she is considerate enough to bring the bus driver a cup of coffee each time she takes the bus ride.

4) Why does the factory security guard always slump down in his seat with his eyes closed?

He has just come off a long night shift and he feels sleepy and tired.

5) Why was the bus very late one Sunday morning?

On that morning a regular passenger collapsed on the sidewalk as he was moving forward to board the bus. The other passengers tried to help him and waited with him for an ambulance to arrive.

6) What do you know about the Mexican couple?

The Mexican couple love each other very much. They always board the bus hand in hand and are still holding hands when they get off the bus. The woman was pregnant late last year and now they have a new baby. All the regular passengers feel happy for the young Mexican couple.

7) Why do the passengers enjoy the company of a group of Haitians?

The Haitians have a great sense of fun. The passengers are all delighted to have their company. They always chuckle and nod when the Haitians are all aboard.

8) Why is the woman who sits up front always silent?

She has a speech impediment. Talking is hard for her.

9) What do you know about the silent woman’s family life? She is a single mother with a disabled son who is receiving special care away from home. She lives alone and feels lonely and misses her son very much. The Sunday-morning bus ride is the best thing she does all week, and an occasional visit to the fish restaurant is almost as good as the second best thing. She rides the Sunday-morning bus simply for the companionship of the driver whose name she doesn't know, but who appreciates the hot coffee she brings.

10) How did the author and his wife feel about the dinner with the silent woman?

They all had a wonderful time. For the silent woman, an occasional visit to the fish restaurant was a pleasant experience and this time it was even better with the companionship of the author and his wife. The author and his wife also enjoyed the dinner and they felt that the fish had never tasted better. When they left the restaurant, they were already friends with each other. And they shared their names.

2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information contained in Text B. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement.

1) T On Sundays the author and his wife take the bus to go to church regularly for years.

2) F The bus driver is required to remember the stop of every regular passenger.

(He is not required to do so. But he makes it his business to remember where every regular passenger should get off the bus.)

3) F The silent woman always gets the driver a cup of coffee because she is well-off.

(The worn clothing of the silent woman suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always clutches an extra cup of coffee for the driver.)

4) F The driver has to wake up the factory security guard every time and reminds him of getting off the bus.

(The security guard closes his eyes until the precise moment that the bus approaches his stop. Then, he opens his eyes and gets off the bus.)

5) T The rotund fellow is very grateful because other people have helped him.

6) T The passengers enjoy their ride together and words or names are not necessary to them.

7) F The author and his wife developed a good relationship with the silent woman after taking the same bus for some months.

(For many months, the only sadness for the author and his wife is that they can’t establish the same rapport with the silent woman.)

8) F They found their fish tasted better because they shared a good dinner with the silent woman.

(They found their fish tasted better because they had finally learned the story of the silent woman and made friends with her.)

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去,留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时,我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意:竖起耳朵,闭上嘴巴,但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室,大步走了进去。然而,进了教室,我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢?犹豫再三,我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课,”教授开始上课。天哪,我还以为这里是文学课呢!我的脖子后面直冒冷汗,摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室,却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办?上课途中就站起来走出去?教授会不会生气?大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上,尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿,便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去,就在这时,我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了,我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间,我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过,然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里,我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是,食堂里所有的学生都站了起来,鼓掌欢呼,我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景,而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里,我独自品尝羞辱,用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天,我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物,踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候,我对他满怀同情。他站起身,咧嘴大笑,双手紧握高举在头顶上,做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂,可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻,我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .

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?

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。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然,如果不立即采取行动,她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语,护士会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字?” 8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。 10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在,偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛,用拳头堵住嘴,想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧,因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时,一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭,她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后,又立即作了回答。护士一边说,一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头,她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿,小男孩不再哭了,他睁开眼睛,用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头,小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血,小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命,没有比这更伟大的爱了。

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
