Part II Reading Comprehension (30%,30×1.5)

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is humankind’s long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good.

The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn’t help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypt’s leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey’s bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.

But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left—all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt(淤泥) that it barely generates electricity.

And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is bidding for independence from the Czechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.

Meanwhile, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more wrong-headed Narmada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship for the powerless and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far from guaranteed.

Proper, scientific study of the impacts of dams and of the cost and benefits of controlling water can help to resolve these conflicts. Hydroelectric power and flood control and irrigation are possible without building monster dams. But when you are dealing with myths, it is hard to be either proper, or scientific. It is time that the world learned the lessons of Aswan. You don’t need a dam to be saved.

16. The third sentence of paragraph 1 implies that________.

A)people would be happy if they shut their eyes to reality

B)the blind could be happier than the sighted

C)over-excited people tend to neglect vital things

D)fascination makes people lose their eyesight

17.In paragraph 5, “the powerless” probably refers to________.

A)areas short of electricity B) dams without power stations

C)poor countries around India D) common people in the Narmada Dam area

18.What is the myth concerning giant dams?

A)They bring in more fertile soil. B) They help defend the country.

C)They strengthen international ties D) They have universal control of the waters.

19.What the author tries to suggest may best be interpreted as________.

A)“It is no use crying over spilt milk”B)“More haste, less speed”

C)“Look before you leap”B)“He who laughs last laughs best”

20.What is the author’s attitude toward building giant dams?

A)Positive B) Negative

C)Neutral D) Indifferent

Passage Two

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

I suppose it’s in the nature of science to be optimistic. One of the unspoken assumptions of scientific inquiry is that there are answers to every question. The answer may take years or decades or centuries to find, but for every question about the observable world, a scientist will tell you that there is an answer.

I am one of those people whose life knows only change. The one certainty I am aware of is death. All other things are subject to change. I have known changes for the better and changes for the worse (we now have the means to destroy our own planet), but I have never questioned the fact that whether I liked it or not, change was unavoidable. How, you ask, with our infinite capacity for evil, can I remain optimistic about change?

The answer, I suppose, is similar to the one I would give if you asked me how the knowledge of death affects my life. I know that I am going to die. Everything that lives eventually dies. But I can’t live as if every hour were my last. If I did, I would be inactive. I wouldn’t go to work; I wouldn’t bother reading the daily paper or going to school. In short, I wouldn’t have time for all those little joys. Instead, I would spend my life between fear and tears.

Problems in human relations are obviously much more difficult. And I’m not foolish enough to equate technological problems, which have solutions, with human questions, which don’t always have simple right or wrong answers. What I am suggesting, however, is that if we believe that human questions have solutions, we may, given patience, reason, and compromise, actually find some. If we don’t believe solutions are possible, we will never find any. Or to put it another way, you will never find what you don’t look for.

We have, in this century, witnessed murder, barbarism, war and genocide of a scale unknown in previous human history. Sometimes, it seems that for every technological advance, we have suffered from the misuse of that very advance. Atomic power both lightens and darkens our lives. Still, we have no alternative but to keep trying. Every person saved from mistreatment, starvation, or genocide is a feather in the cap of humanity. If we sit back and just let things happen, we are less than human. From this point of view, optimism is essential to preserving our humanity in these difficult times.

21.According to the author, science is by name________.

A)Optimistic B) advantageous

C)Evil D) advanced

22.The author’s life knows only change and he thinks of change as________.

A)Unpromising B)detrimental

C)Inevitable D)avoidable

23.How does the knowledge of death affect the author?

A)The author lingers between fear and tears when spending his life.

B)The author is not willing to wait for death and still leads a meaningful life.

C)The author thinks his life is out of control and not worth living.

D)The author indulges himself at that time for he knows that he is going to die.

24.What is the difference between technological and human problems

A)Technological problems can be easily resolved while human problems cannot.

B)Technological problems need serious attention while human problems are often

ignored.

C)Human problems don’t always have simple right or wrong solutions as

technological problems do.

D)Patience, reason, and compromise are the prerequisites to solving human problems

but not to technological problems.

25. The sentence “Atomic power both lightens and darkens our lives”(Para. 9) means

that________.

A) atomic power is used to generate electricity, with which we can turn on the lights

and without which we will live in darkness.

B) sometimes we are encouraged by the technological advances in the field of atomic

power and sometimes discouraged by our own ignorance.

C) the discovery and application of atomic power have brought us both enlightenment

and a much more difficult life.

D) atomic power can be beneficial if it is used in a proper way and it can also be detrimental if it is used for destructive purposes.

Passage Three

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

The concept of culture has been defined many times, and although no definition has achieved universal acceptance, most of the definitions include three central ideas: that culture is passed on from generation to generation, that a culture represents a ready-made prescription for living and for making day-to-day decisions,

and, finally, that the components of a culture are accepted by those in the culture

as good, and true, and not to be questioned. The eminent anthropologist George Murdock has listed seventy-three items that characterize every known culture, past

and present. The list begins with Age-grading and Athletic sports, runs to Weaning

and Weather Control, and includes on the way such items as Calendar, Fire Making, Property Rights, and Tool Making. Even the most extreme advocate of a culture of poverty viewpoint would readily acknowledge that, with respect to almost all of these items, every American, beyond the first generation immigrant, regardless of race

or class, is a member of a common culture. We all share pretty much the same sports. Maybe poor kids don't know how to play polo, and rich kids don't spend time with stickball, but we all know baseball, and football, and basketball. Despite some misguided efforts to raise minor dialects to the status of separate tongues, we all,

in fact, share the same language. There may be differences in diction and usage,

but it would be ridiculous to say that all Americans don't speak English. We have

the calendar, the law, and large numbers of other cultural items in common. It may

well be true that on a few of the seventy-three items there are minor variations between classes, but these kinds of things are really slight variations on a common theme. There are other items that show variability, not in relation to class, but

in relation to religion and ethnic background—funeral customs and cooking, for example. But if there is one place in America where the melting pot is a reality,

it is on the kitchen stove; in the course of one month, half the readers of this sentence have probably eaten pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein. Specific differences that might be identified as signs of separate cultural identity are relatively insignificant within the general unity of American life; they are cultural commas and semicolons in the paragraphs and pages of American life.

26. According to the author's definition of culture,________________.

A) a culture should be accepted and maintained universally

B) a culture should be free from falsehood and evils

C)the items of a culture should be taken for granted by people

D)the items of a culture should be accepted by well-educated people

27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A)Baseball, football and basketball are popular sports in America.

B)Pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein are popular diet in America.

C)There is no variation in using the American calendar.

D)There is no variation in using the American language.

28. It can be inferred that all the following will most probably be included in the seventy-three items EXCEPT __________.

A)heir and heritage B) childrearing practices

C)dream patterns D) table manners

29. By saying that "they are cultural commas and semicolons..." the author means

that commas and semicolons____________.

A)can be interpreted as subculture of American life

B)can be identified as various ways of American life

C)stand for work and rest in American life

D)are preferred in writing the stories concerning American life

30. The author's main purpose in writing this passage is to___________.

A)prove that different people have different definitions of culture

B)inform that variations exist as far as a culture is concerned

C)indicate that culture is closely connected with social classes

D)show that that culture must be based on something in common

Do you know the story of “Aladdin and His Lamp”, or “Ali Baba and the forty Thieves”? These and many others are included in the very famous book of stories called “the Thousand and One Nights”, which is a collection of stories from Persia, Arabia, India and Egypt which have been brought together over hundreds of years. This collection of stories is an example of a frame story, in which a number of different stories are told within the context, or frame, of an ongoing story. In this frame story, the central character is the famous story-teller, Sheherezade, and her own story connects the other stories together. The story of Sheherezade itself has been the basis of many other works of art—literature, poetry and music. Here is a very short version of the Sheherezade story.

Many years ago, there was a great king in Arabia called Shahriah. He was a gentle and benign King and he ran his kingdom very wisely, until one day something really terrible befell him. He was going out hunting with a group of his courtiers, but suddenly remembered that he had left something back in his palace, and he decided to go back for it himself, partly because he planned to visit his wife, who he loved very dearly, for one last time before he set out on his week-long hunting expedition. Unfortunately, when he got back to the palace, he found his wife in the arms of another man, together with a dozen of her maidservants who were also with men in a great communal celebration of unfaithfulness. The King was furious and drew his sharp, curved sword and cut his wife and his wife’s lover into four pieces.

After that he had all the maidservants and the men accompanying them hanged in the courtyard of his palace one by one. The poor King had become mad with anger and grief at losing his wife and he decided to take his revenge on all the women of his kingdom.

For three years King Shahrial married a new wife every day, but each time the morning after the wedding he ordered his executioner to cut off the head of his new wife. More than a thousand girls died in this way.

The king’s minister opposed the king in this but could do nothing to prevent the slaughter of the innocent girls. The minister’s daughter realized that her father was becoming more and more unhappy. She was beautiful, clever and good, and

her name was Sheherezade. She asked her father what was wrong and he told her how the king had killed a thousand lovely young girls.

Sheherezade thought carefully for a few minutes. Then she decided that she knew how to stop the king’s madness. In spite of the minister’s protests, she offered herself as the next victim to marry the king.

King Shahrial liked Sheherezade very much. That night, beside the king in his great bed, she began to tell him a story. Shahriah had never heard a story like that before. More or less, this is how the story went:

Once upon a time, there were 40 thieves who collected the money and treasures that they stole all together in a cave. They had a secret magic password which they said as they came to the entrance of the cave. This was the strange phrase “Open Sesame”. When they said the password, the door to the cave just opened by magic. One day a poor person called Ali Baba saw them while they were doing that, and so he learned the magic password. After they left, he went to the cave and opened it. He found a very large horde of money and golden treasures, and naturally, he took some of it home.

The story went on all night and still wasn’t finished when the birds began to sing their morning song.

The executioner was standing outside the door waiting for the king to order the execution of Sheherezade. “Not this morning”, the king told him, “Come again tomorrow”. So Sheherezade was not killed the first day, unlike a thousand young women before her who had married the king. The next night, Sheherezade finished the story, and began another famous story of Sinbad the sailor, which you must certainly have known, but she made sure that she didn’t finish it, so that the king would wait until the following night to hear the rest of the story.

So it went on, night after night, week after week, month after month. Sheherezade knew many, many stories, all of which were too long to finish before day came.

Sheherezade told the king her stories for a thousand and one nights, one wonderful story after another, until at last, after nearly three years, he realized that he had no wish to kill this beautiful and talented young woman that he had married. Perhaps the most wonderful story of all is the story of how Sheherazade risked her life to save the women of her country, and how gradually over a period of three years she helped the king to come out of his madness. Slowly his fascination with Sheherezade’s stories gave way to appreciation of the young woman’s talents, to a realization that not all women were wicked faithless creatures like his first wife, and that in fact Sheherezade was a brave and intelligent woman, a worthy queen for a wise king. Gradually he realized that he must put his kingdom in order again and try to rule as wisely as he once had, in order to be a worthy king for Queen Sheherezade.

31. Before the king married Sheherzade, he had killed thousands of young women.

32. The Thousand and One Nights is a collection of stories originally written by

a famous Arabian woman.

33. A poor man named Ali Aaba learned the magic password of the thieves and found

a large amount of money and golden treasures.

34. The King had all the wicked faithless creatures hanged in the courtyard of his palace.

35. The King finally came out of his madness and became a good king.

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting 2

朋友、好朋友、知心朋友 1 我过去曾想这样说:女人一旦成了朋友,她们就会喜欢、支持和信任对方;向对方袒露自己心中的秘密; 二话不说就赶去帮忙;只要是非说不可的事,就坦诚相告、直言不讳(例如,不行,你不能穿那件衣服,除非你减去十磅)。 2 我过去曾想这样说:一旦女人都喜欢英格玛·伯格曼,喜欢乘火车、喜欢猫、喜欢天暖和时下雨,而且都非常讨厌纽瓦克、讨厌球芽甘蓝、讨厌宿营,她们就是朋友。 3 换句话说,我过去曾想说朋友就是朋友,始终如一、亲密无间,但是现在我认为这是一种狭隘的观点。因为我自己经历的和看到的友谊就表现出不同的亲密程度,起着不同的作用,满足不同的需要,从前面提到的亲如姐妹、毫无保留的友谊到最随意的玩伴关系。 4 来看看这些不同层次的友谊: 5 近便之交要不是我们的生活道路总是相互交叉,我们没有特别的理由和这些女人成为朋友:隔壁邻居、合伙使用汽车的伙伴、孩子好朋友的妈妈或者每周和我们一起在格兰伍德合作幼儿园分果汁和甜饼的某位妈妈。 6 近便之交确实方便。有聚会时,她们会借给我们杯子和银餐具生病时,她们会开车带我们的孩子去看足球赛。需要去修车厂取车时,她们会开车送我们过去。度假时,她们会照顾我们的猫。同样,她们需要时,我们也这样做。 7 但是,我们不会与近便之友走得太近或者说得太多;我们会保持感情上的距离以及在公开场合下的那份尊严。“也就是说,”伊莱恩说道,“我会说自己超重了,但不会聊自己沮丧的心情。我会坦陈自己生气了,但我不会说自己愤怒极了。我也许会说这个月缺钱,但绝不会说自己为缺钱愁得要死。” 8 但这并不意味着这种互相帮助的友谊、这种近便之交就没有价值了。 9 同好之交这种友情并不亲密无间,也不必涉及到孩子、银餐具或猫。这种友情的价值在于我们有某种共同的兴趣。所以我们可能有办公室的朋友、一起练瑜珈的朋友、打网球的球友以及女士俱乐部的朋友。 10 “我有一位女友,”乔伊斯说,“她和我一样喜欢修心理学课。这对我以及对她来说都很好。跟自己认识的人一起去上课,下课后一起开车回家,路上讨论学过的内容,非常有意思。”乔伊斯还说,讨论的大部分内容都与课程有关。 11 苏珊谈起每星期二一起练双打的朋友时这样说:“应该说我们所做的就是在一起打球,而不是呆在一起。”“我们主要是由于一起打网球而建立的关系,但我们打球配合得很好。我想我们需要的只不过是一两个球伴而已。” 12 我同意她的观点。 13 总角之交我们都有这样的朋友,他们很久以前就认识我们,可能当我们还在梅尔策小姐任教的班读二年级时,当我们住在布鲁克林一套三居室的公寓时,当我们的父亲七个月没有工作时,当我们的兄弟艾利卷入一场斗殴而不得不叫警察时,或者当我们的姐姐嫁给扬克斯来的牙医时,我们就已经认识了。 14 多年过去了,我们已各奔东西,几乎再也没什么共同之处了,但我们依然是彼此的过往中不可割舍的一部分。因此,不管何时去底特律,我们都会去看看自己少女时代的朋友。她知道我们在牙齿没矫正之前的模样。她知道我们在改掉布鲁克林口音之前说话的腔调。她知道我们从前吃什么,当时连洋蓟都不知道。她的出现把我们带回到从前,那是一段重要而且永远不能忘记的个人历史。 15 萍水之交萍水之交像总角之交一样,其重要性在于过去生活中某个重要阶段我们曾建立起友谊。也许是大学时同居一室;也许一起在纽约工作过,当时年轻气盛、单身一人;也许像伊丽莎白和我一样,一同经历了怀孕、生孩子、头一年做妈妈的可怕时期。

Unit Nine: 新闻将我们引向何方 不久前我应邀参加了一次有关美国报业的作用的公众研讨会。还有另外两个嘉宾也出席了。一位是知名的电视节目主持人,另一位是美国一家主要报纸的编辑,他是一位彻头彻尾的新闻工作者---- 在据实报道的方式上坚忍不拔、积极进取且见识过人。 据我所知本次研讨旨在审查传媒的义务,并提出实现那些义务的最佳途径。 在公开讨论时,观众席中的一位男士向两位嘉宾提问,“为什么报纸和电视新闻节目都充斥灾难?为什么新闻界的男男女女对悲剧、暴力、和失败是如此关注?” 主持人和编辑作出了回答,好像是自己应该为坏消息的存在而受到谴责一样。他们说,新闻工作者只负责报道新闻,而不负责制造或修改新闻。 我不认为这两位新闻工作者回答了这个问题。提出这个问题的先生并没有因为世上的歪曲报道而谴责他们。他只是想知道为什么报道得最多的是歪曲的事件。新闻媒体的运作理念似乎是凡是新闻皆坏事。为什么呢?是不是着重报道负面新闻是一种传统——是新闻工作者所习以为常的对日常事件作出的反应方式? 在此或许分析一下我们如何定义“新闻”一词会有所帮助,因为这是问题的起因。新闻应该是报道过去十二小时,最迟二十四小时内所发生的事情。然而,突发事件往往具有爆炸性的:一名狙击手枪杀了几名行人,一名恐怖分子劫持了飞机上250名人质,欧佩克石油组织宣布原油价格上涨25%,英国货币又贬值10%,一辆载有放射性废料的卡车与一架水泥搅拌车相撞。 然而,一味聚焦这些报道,则是失真的画面。人类文明成果远远多于灾难总和。每种文明中最重要的成分就是进步。但进步不会立即发生,也没有爆发性。一般来说,它是一点一滴逐步发展的,在某个特定时刻是微不足察的。但是所有微小的进步都参与了历史性的巨变的实现,使社会更加美好。 就是这类活生生的历史,绝大多数的新闻媒体没有予以充分的反映,结果导致我们对社会的正面发展了解不足,对灾难却知之甚多,这又使人产生失败和绝望的情绪,而这些情绪易于阻碍社会进步。爆发性新闻大餐另人忧心忡忡,大大削减了自由社会所需的动力,绝望和偾世的情绪使人没有动力迎接严峻的考验。 我并非暗示可以编造“积极”的新闻来抵消头版上灾难报道的作用。也没有把青年基督会作用的深刻报道定义为“正面”新闻。我要传递的观点是,新闻媒体的职责是搜寻并报道重大事件,无论它们是否有关冲突、对抗或灾难。这个世界是天堂和地狱的绝妙结合,两个方面都需要关注和观察。 我希望新闻界人士能从更宽广的角度审视自己的职责。是时候认识到人类事件中可以作为新闻报道的范围领域是极其宽广的。例如,有几篇新闻文章报道过固氮作用——植物通过这一过程能固定氮肥,由此减低了肥料需求量?全世界的科学家都在为这一前景而努力,希望借此解决饥荒。对远东地区水稻产量提高的巨大进步又了解多少?事实上,世界上还有许多类似的重要发展,这些都值得做重要的新闻综合报道。 主持人和编辑说得对,新闻工作者并没有责任来塑造世界,但是他们有责任影响我们的态度。我们认为自己是怎样的,那我们就是怎样的。我们只能实现那些我们自己敢于设想的目标。新闻工作者为我们提供我们对自身以及这个世界认知的写照——这种写照最好是逼真的肖像,而不是扭曲的漫画像。因为我们就是根据这一写照来做决定,筹划未来的。 按照华特.里普曼的说法,新闻记者是大众的哲学家。他曾经写道?“后天习得的文化并非由基因遗传,美好社会的甜美的生活虽然可得,但却不是一旦拥有就永远不失去。如果美好生活中的智慧没有被传下来,所得一切也将化为乌有。” 有了对美好社会中美好生活的准确报道,我们可以采用伯纳德.德.查维斯建议我们的利

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4) Unit 1 享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀? 1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢? 2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。 3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。我们都听人说过这样的话:“我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。”有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。这么说是有道理的。 4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。而且,她们的这种喜欢是相互的。布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母,当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:“啊哈,你又上了我的当。” 5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。第一部分是铺垫(即背景),接下来是主干部分(即故事情节),随后便是妙语(即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾)。如果这个妙语含有一定的幽默成分,这个笑话便会很有趣。通常笑话都包含这三部分,而且每部分都必须交代清楚。如果讲故事或说笑话的人使用听众都熟悉的手势和语言,则有助于增强效果。 6 我们可以对幽默这种娱乐形式,进行分析,从而发现究竟是什么使一个有趣的故事或笑话令人发笑。举例来说,最常见的幽默有以下几种,包括了从最显而易见的幽默到比较微妙含蓄的幽默。 7 “滑稽剧”是最明显的幽默。它语言简单、直截了当,常常以取笑他人为乐。说笑打闹这种形式过去是、现在仍然是滑稽说笑演员和小丑的惯用技巧。它为不同年龄、不同文化背景的人们所喜爱。几乎本世纪的每个讲英语的滑稽说笑演员都曾以这样或那样的方式说过下面这则笑话。一位男士问另一位男士:“昨晚我看到的那位和你在一起的贵妇是谁?”那位男士回答道:“那可不是什么贵妇,那是我老婆。”这个笑话的幽默之处在于第二位男士说他的妻子不是一位贵妇,也就是说她不是一个高雅的女人。这个笑话并没有因为经常讲而变得不再那么好笑。由于这是一个经典笑话,观众都知道要说什么,而且因为大家对这个笑话很熟悉而更加珍爱它。 8 中国的相声是一种特殊的滑稽剧。相声中两名中国喜剧演员幽默地谈论诸如官僚主义者、家庭问题或其他一些有关个人的话题。相声随处都能听到,无论是在乡村的小舞台上,还是在北京最大的剧院里,抑或在广播、电视上。它显然是中国人家喻户晓的一种传统的幽默形式。 9 “俏皮话”不像滑稽剧那样浅显,它是因语言的误用或误解而引人发笑。我特别喜欢

新编英语教程5课文翻译

Unit One Hit the nail on the head恰到好处 你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去,一钉到底。语言也是如此。一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。差不多的词,不准确的短语,摸棱两可的表达,含糊不清的修饰,都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。他会一直思考,直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。 法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思,即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事,比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。在浩瀚的词海中,词与词之间有着微妙的区别,要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题,还需要人们绞尽脑汁,要观察敏锐。选词是认识过程的一个步骤,也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。有人说:“在我思想未成文之前,我怎么知道自己的想法?”这听起来似乎很离谱,但它确实很有道理。 寻找恰如其分的词的确是件不容易的事。一旦找到了那个词,我们就会感到很欣慰:辛劳得到了回报。准确地用语言有助于我们深入了解我们描述的事物。例如,当有人问你:“某某是怎么样的人?”你回答说:“恩,我想他是个不错的家伙,但他非常……”接着你犹豫了,试图找到一个词或短语来说明他到底讨厌在哪里。当你找到一个恰当的短语的时候,你发觉自己对他的看法更清楚,也更精确了。 一些英语词汇词根相同而意义却截然不同。例如human 和humane,二者的词根相同,词义也相关,但用法完全不同。“human action (人类行为)”和“humane action ( 人道行为)”完全是两码事。我们不能说“人道权力宣言”,而是说“人权宣言”。有一种屠杀工具叫“humane killer ( 麻醉屠宰机),而不是human killer ( 杀人机器)。 语言中的坏手艺的例子在我们身边随处可见。有人邀请一名学生去吃饭,他写信给予回复。请看他的信是这样结尾的:“我将很高兴赴约并满怀不安(anxiety )期待着那个日子的到来。”“Anxiety”含有烦恼和恐惧的意味。作者想表达的很可能是一种翘首期盼的心情。“Anxiety”跟热切期盼有一定的关联,但在这个场合是不能等同的。 乌干达一政党领袖给新闻界的一封信中有一句这样写道: 让我们打破这自私、投机、怯懦和无知充斥的乌干达,代之以真理,刚毅,坚定和奇异的精神。 这一激动人心的呼吁被最后一个词“奇异(singularity)”的误用破坏掉了。我猜想作者真正要表达的意思是思想的专一,即抱定一个信念永不改变,咬定青山不放松,不被次要的目的干扰。而singularity 指的是古怪,特性,是将一个人从众多人中区分出来的那种东西。 即使没有出现词语误用,这词仍可能不是符合作者意图的恰如其分的词。一名记者在一篇有关圣诞节的社论中这样引出狄更斯的话: 任何有关圣诞节的想法和文字已经被禁锢(imprisoned )在这句话中……“Imprisonment”暗示着强迫,威逼,这么一来似乎意思是有悖其初衷的。用“包含(contained )”或“归结(summed up )”就要好些。“概括(epitomized)”也行,尽管听起来有点僵硬。稍微再用点心我们就能准确地找到“mot juste (恰倒好处的词) ”,那就是“distilled”.它比包含和归结语气更强。“Distillation (提炼)”意味得到本质(essence)的东西。因此我们可以进一步把这个句子修改为: 所有有关圣诞节的想法和文字的精华都被提炼到这句话之中。 英语词汇丰富,运用灵活。一个意思有很多种表达方式。但是无论意思上如何相近的词总是存在着些许区别。作为学生就要敏感地意识到这些区别。通过查字典,尤其是通过阅读,

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。

Unit 1 美女还是老虎? 很久以前,有一个国王,非常野蛮,想像力却非常丰富。他出了很多点子,其中一个就是建一个大竞技场来执行裁决。在那里,罪恶受到惩治,美德得以回报。当臣民被指控犯罪,而且其罪行足以令国王关注时,就会发布公告,告知在某一指定的日期,被指控者的命运将在国王的竞技场上决定。 所有人都已聚集在观众席上,而在竞技场的一边,国王高高地坐在他的御座上,周围簇拥着他的皇室成员及侍臣。当所有人就座后,国王就会发出信号,接着他下面的一扇门就会打开,受到指控的臣民从这儿出来,走入竞技场。在竞技场的另一边,国王的正对面有一模一样的两扇门,紧紧地挨着。受审者直接走向这两扇门,打开其中的一扇,这是他必须做的事,也是他的特殊待遇。他愿意打开哪扇门,就打开哪扇门。他不会得到任何提示,只有凭运气。他可能打开一扇门,里面会出来一只凶残饥饿的老虎。老虎立即立即扑向他,将他撕得四分五裂。这就是对他所犯罪行的惩罚。但是,如果受审者打开另一扇门,里面会走出一位小姐,她是国王从国内众多美女中挑选出来的,是与他的年龄和身份最般配的;他必须立即与这位小姐结婚,这是对他清白无罪的回报。也许他已有妻小,也许他已心有所属,但这一切都不重要。婚礼会立即在竞技场上举行。那时,钟声敲响,观众欢呼,这位无辜的人则领着他的新娘回家。 这就是国王进行裁决的方式。其公正性是显而易见的。如果被告有罪,他将立即受到惩治;如果清白,则当场得到回报。这种制度非常受欢迎。其中的不确定因素给这种场合增添了趣味性。 国王有一个漂亮任性的女儿,是国王的掌上明珠。他爱她胜过爱任何人。在他的侍臣中,有一位职位较低的年轻人,由于他英俊、勇武,公主爱上了他。他们幸福地恋爱了好几个月之后,有一天被国王碰巧发现了。国王立即将年轻人监禁起来,并定下日期要在竞技场审判他。这样的案子以前从未发生过;以前也从未有任何臣民胆敢爱上国王的女儿。 为了寻找最凶猛的老虎带到竞技场上去,搜遍了整个王国所有关老虎的笼子。同时对年轻漂亮的少女也进行了甄选,以便为他挑选一位最合适的新娘,以备此人命不该绝。当然,众人皆知,他确实做了他被指控的事。他爱公主,并对此供认不讳,然而国王却以此为乐,想看看这年轻人斗胆爱上公主究竟有没有错。 审判的日子到了。人们从四面八方赶来,挤满了竞技场的观众席。国王和他的侍臣们也来到了竞技场,正对着那两扇一模一样的门坐了下来。一切准备就绪,信号发出,国王一行人下面的一扇门打开了,公主的情人走进了竞技场。他高大英俊,人群中发出了一片赞叹声。有半数的观众不知道竟然有这么一位气度不凡的青年生活在他们中间。难怪公主会爱上他!让他出现在这样的场合真是太可怕了! 当这位青年走进竞技场时,按照惯例,他转身向国王鞠躬,然而他脑子里却根本没有这位王室人物的存在。他的眼睛只是死死地盯着坐在她父亲右边的公主。自从要在竞技场上决定她情人命运的命令发出的那一刻起,公主的心里就再也没想过别的事。由于她比以往任何一位与案件有关的人都具有更大的权利和更强的决心,她发现了这两扇门的秘密。她知道哪扇门后面是敞开着的老虎笼,哪扇门后面有一位小姐等在那儿。她凭借黄金和决心发现了这个秘密。 公主也知道那位小姐是谁。她是宫廷中所有小姐中最漂亮的一位,公主嫉恨她。公主经常看见,或者想像中看见,这位美人儿向她的情人暗送秋波,公主有时候也想到她的情人会回敬这位小姐的目光,她时不时地还看到他们在一起说话。 当公主的情人朝她看、两人四目相对时,他知道她清楚哪扇门后蹲着老虎,哪扇门后站着小姐。他早就预料到她会知道的,因为他非常了解她的秉性和决心。此时此刻他那迅速而焦急的一瞥就是在问这样一个问题:“哪扇门?”这个(用目光表示的)问题对她来说是再明白不过了,就像他从他站着的地方向她大声提问一样明白无误。时间一刻都不能耽误。问题是在一刹那间提出的,答案也必须在刹那间给出。她抬起手,朝右边作了一个不起眼而且很快的手势。除了她的情人以外,没有人看到她的这一动作。每个人的眼睛都盯着竞技场上的这个人。所有人都屏声息气,所有的眼睛依然盯着他。他毫不犹豫地朝右边那扇门走去,并将它打开。 现在,故事的关键是:从这扇门出来的是老虎还是美女?对这个问题我们考虑得越多,就越难给出答案。它涉及到对人们内心世界的研究,这种研究必然要经历一个个迂回曲折的激情迷宫,从中我们很难找到出路。绝望和嫉妒交织在一起,像火一样煎熬着公主的心。她已失去了他,但是谁应该得到他呢?多少次在醒着的时候,多少次在梦中,她
