UNIT 5
妈妈哭的那天
很久前一个阴暗的冬天，我放学回家，心中充满着期待。我腋下夹着一本我所喜爱的刚出版的体育杂志，而且整个房子将只有我一个人。爸爸还没下班，妹妹不在家，妈妈刚找到一份新工作，在一小时内是不会回家的，我跳上台阶，冲进起居室，啪的一声打开电灯。
我眼前出现的景象使我惊呆了。妈妈紧缩着身子。手捂着脸，坐在沙发的一端，她在哭。我以前从没见她哭过。
我小心地走近她，把手放在她肩上。“妈”我说，“怎么了？”
妈妈长叹一口气，强作微笑。“没什么，真的。没什么大不了的事。只是我要失去这份新工作了。我字打的不够快。”
“但你才上三天班，”我说，“你会赶上的。”我重复了妈妈对我说过的一百遍的那句话。每当我学什么或做什么重要事情而遇到麻烦时，妈常这样对我说。
“不行了，”妈妈神色黯淡地对我说。“过去我常说只要我下决心，什么事我都能干好。现在我仍然认为在多数情况下我能做到。但是，打字这事我做不到啦。”
我无能为力，十分尴尬。那时我16岁，仍然认为妈妈能做任何事。几年前，当我们卖掉农场，搬到城里来住的时候，妈妈决定开一所日托所。她没受过这方面的训练，但这并不妨碍她。她参加幼托函授课学习，做练习，六个月后就正式获得从事这项工作的资格了。不久后，她不但招满了生，而且还有许多孩子等着注册。我认为这是理所当然的，是妈妈能力的体现。
但是不管是日托所还是后来爸妈买的汽车旅馆都无法提供足够的钱送我和妹妹上大学。两年后我就要准备上大学了。再过三年，妹妹也想上大学。时间过得真快。妈妈想尽了一切方法存钱。很明显，爸爸不可能比他现在干得更多---除了一份全日制工作外，还要耕种80英亩地。
在我们卖掉汽车旅馆几个月后，妈弄回家一台旧式打字机。这台打字机跳字，键盘也很松。那天吃饭时，我说这台打字是“废物一件”。
“我们只买得起这个,”妈妈说。“这对练打字是够好的了。”从那天开始，只要桌子一收拾，碗一洗，妈妈就会消失到她的缝纫房里练习打字。这缓慢的嗒嗒声有时一直持续到深夜。
快到圣诞节时，我就听到妈妈在电台找到一份工作。我一点也不吃惊。一点也不觉得有什么特别，妈妈却高兴极了。
星期一，她第一次上班回家后，我就看不到那份高兴劲了。妈妈看上去很疲倦，紧绷着脸。我装着没看见。星期二，爸爸做饭，收拾厨房。妈妈在缝纫间里练习打字。“妈没事吧？”我问爸。
“她打字遇到了一点困难，”爸爸说。“她需要练习。我想如果我们都帮忙做家务，她会很感激的。”
“我已经做了很多事，”我立刻警觉起来，说道。
“我知道，”爸心平气和地说。“你也许得再多干点。你应该记住，她现在工作，主要是因为要供你上大学。”老实说，我不在乎上不上大学，我真希望她把这事给忘掉。
因此，当星期三看见妈妈在哭时，我既震惊双尴尬。这完全说明我一点不理解她身上的担子。
“我想，我们每个人都有失败的时候的，”她平静地说道。我能感觉到她的痛苦，感觉到她在极力抑制住因我到来而打断了的强烈感情。突然，我深深感动了，我伸出双臂把妈妈搂在怀里。
她再也抑制不住了，把脸帖着我的肩，抽泣着。我紧紧地搂着她并不急着说什么。我知道，我正在做我应该做的，能够做的，这就足够了。那一刻，当我感到妈妈的背因激动颤抖时，我才第一次明白她不是事事都能办到的。她仍是我妈妈，但她身上有了更多的东西：她和我一样，也害怕，也有失败的时候。我能感觉得到她的痛苦，就像我曾数千次地在她怀里寻求安慰时，她能感觉到我的痛苦一样。
过了一周，妈妈找到一个卖纺织品的工作，工资只有电台的一半。“这工作我能胜任，”妈妈简单地说道。但是晚上她仍旧坐在那台破旧的绿色打字机旁练习打字。现在，当我晚上走过她的房间时，听见那连续不断的嗒嗒声时，我的感觉完全不同的。我意识到这不仅仅是一名妇女在学打字。
两年后，我去上学，那时妈妈已得到一份办公室工作，工资高了，责任也更重了。我不得不相信，妈妈以她奇特的方式从失败中学到的东西和我学到的东西一样多。几年后，我完成学业，自豪地受聘担任一家报社记者时，妈妈已在我们家乡的一家报社里做了六个月的记者了。
现在，那台绿色的旧打字机就放在我的办公室里，没有修理。它是一件纪念品。但它给我带来的回忆不仅仅
是对妈妈的回忆。当我在写故事遇到困难想放弃时，或者当我自叹命运对我不公平时，我就往那台旧打字机
里卷进一张纸，艰难地一个字，一个字地打着，就象妈妈当年那样。此时，我所想起的不是她的失败，而是
她的勇气，那勇往直前的勇气。
这是我一生中得到的最好的纪念品。

我遇见母亲的那天
费思?L?马哈尼
（1）我的童年常常充满孤寂。我出生在中国重庆，父母是传教士，母亲生下我便去世了。父亲把我送到西弗吉尼亚州摩根敦，我母亲最喜欢的姐妹那儿里，我才两个月大。在那儿我在母亲曾度过她少女时代的屋子里长大。只要鲁思姨妈在家，我总是生活在爱的怀抱之中。可她是唯一养家活口的人，每周6天去办公室上班。（2）我便由一个又一个先后雇来的女孩照料着，呆在那座古老的大住宅里，感到十分寂寞。每当黄昏，鲁思姨妈还没回家的时候，我常常做在地板上，我母亲的一幅画像下面----一个面容可爱的20岁的年轻女子，有着黑眼睛和卷曲的黑头发。有时我对着画像说话，可淘气的时候，我从不敢正视画像。我脑子里老想着一个问题：我母亲是怎样一个人呢？
（3）我要是对她有所了解该多好啊！20年过去了。我长大了，成了家，还有了一个孩子，叫露西，取这名字是为了纪念的外祖母----我一直渴望着能有所了解的母亲。一个春天的上午，我和才18个月大的露西坐火车去摩根敦看望鲁思姨妈。在拥挤的车厢里，一位妇人把她的一半座位让给我坐，我向她道了谢，便忙着照料露西，那妇人则转过头去看着窗外一闪而过的风景。让孩子躺在我怀里睡着后，我开始跟那妇人交谈。她说她去摩根敦看女儿和刚出生的外孙。"你一定认识我的姨妈鲁思?伍德，"我说。"她在摩根敦经营一家房地产公司有好多年了。""不认识，"她回答说。"我离家很久了，不熟悉那个名字。"那妇人向车窗外看了几分钟。接着，她开始说话了，头还是没转过来。"许多年前，摩根敦有个露西?伍德小姐，是个教师。可能你还没出生她就离开那儿了。你说起了伍德这个姓，我不由得一下子就想起了她。我有好多年没想起过她了，可是，我曾经非常热爱她。她是我的老师。我父母在沃茨街上开面包店。他们闹得快要离婚了。两人整天又打又吵
的。我也只好家里、店里两边忙着照应。"我喜欢上学，虽然功课不怎么样。伍德小姐的教室是个快乐的地方，在我看来就像天堂一样。有一天，我爸妈早餐时大吵一场，我上学都迟到了，还眼泪汪汪的。伍德小姐放学后让我留下来。我以为她要批评我，可相反，她却让我把不高兴的事说给她听。她让我明白，我的弟弟妹妹们，甚至我的父母，是多么的需要我 ----从那天起，我的生活就变得有意义了。"几个月之后，我听见一个小女孩说："伍德小姐要嫁给一个传教士了，还要到中国去住呢！"我哭着回到了家。正在吵架的父母停下来问我出了什么事，可他们没法理解，我的生活中将要失去多大的一片光明。那一夜我没睡着。"第二天，伍德小姐又让我放学后留下来，问我出了什么事。我告诉了她，她露出既吃惊又亲切的神色。'请不要到老远的中国去！'我恳求说。"'维奥拉，'她回答说，'我不能改变去中国的主意。我要到我心灵呼唤我的地方去，跟我所爱的人一起去。可我会经常想你的，我会寄一张明信片给你。'"我还从来没有收到过写给我的任何信件，所以她的话让我感到好受了些。我把这事告诉母亲，她摇着头说：'要是她忘了寄的话，维奥拉，不要太难受；她要给好多人写信。'"两个月之后，我收到了一张印着长江图案的明信片，邮戳是中国重庆。'你是不是依然让我为您感到骄傲，我勇敢的小姑娘？'上面这么写着。
（4）当时即使有人给我一百万元，也不会使我感到更值得夸耀的了。"那以后不久，我父母分了手，我们搬离了摩根敦。我带大了五个弟妹，结了婚，又带大了自己的四个孩子。"天哪，我们就要到了！我讲得太多了。我真的希望没让你觉得厌烦。"直到那时，她才第一次转过头来，看到了我的满眶眼泪。"您愿意看看露西?伍德的外孙女吗？"我问。我的孩子正好醒来。我的心在欢唱。
（5）我自幼就渴望弄清楚的问题，如今已有了完美的答案了。我终于了解到我母亲是怎样一个人了。

It was Mother's Day. Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion. Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year. The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue. The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find. By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark. And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year. In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.

现代大学英语精读第六册 的第四课和第九课课文 原文
Nettles Our farm was small-nine acres. It was small enough for me to have explored every part of it. Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence-the elm looked serene and the oak threatening, the maples friendly, the hawthorn old and crabby. Even the pits on the river flats had their flats had their distinct character. The girls as well as the boys were divided into two sides. Each girl had her own pile of balls and was working for paticular soldiers, and when a soldier fell wounded he would call out a girl’s name, so that she could drag him away and dress his wounds as quickly as possible. I made weapons for Mike, and mine ws the name he called. There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion. When Mike was wounded he never opened his eyes. He lay limp and still while I pressed slimy large leaves to his forehead and throat and-pulling out his shirt-to his pale tender stomach, with its sweet and vulnerable belly button. One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at. And the truck did not come. There were two fewer chairs at the table for the noon meal. Mike and I had barely looked at each other during those meals. He liked to put ketcup on his bread. His father talked to my father, and the talk was mostly about well, accidents, water tables. A serious man. All work, my father said. Yet- he-Mike’s father-ended nearly every speech with a laugh. The laugh had a lonely boom in it, as if he were still down the well. Sunny and I had been friends in Vancouver years before. Our pregnancies had dovetailed, so that we had managed with one set of maternity clothes. In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk about our marriages, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, and our forgone ambitions. We read Jung at the same time and tried to keep track of our dreams. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman’s mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and “The Cocktail Party”. He had slept in the guest bedroom the night before but tonight he’d moved downstairs to the fold-out sofa in the front room. Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmarking and making up again the bed he had left for me. Lying in those same sheets did not make for a peaceful night. I knew that he wouldn’t come to see, no matter how small the risk was. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends. And how could he be sure that it was what I wanted? Or that it was what he really wanted? Even I was not sure of it. Up till now, I had always been able to think of myself as a woman who was faithful to the person who she was sleeping with at any given time. My sleep was shallow, my dreams monotonously lustful, with irritating and unpleasant subplots. All night-or at least whenener I woke up-the crickets wre singing outside my windows. At first I thought it was birds. I had lived in cities long enough to have forgotten how crickets can make a perfect waterfall of noise. The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made. The ground sloped slightly downward, and we could see a bit of the river. The water was steel gray, and lookedto be rolling. Between it and us there was a meadow of weeds, all in bloom-goldenrod, jewelweed with its red-and-yellow bells, and what I thought were flowering nettles with pinkish-

第一单元 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种： 1．不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后在反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。

大学英语精读第6册全文课文翻译 THE QUEST FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE Through all of our history we have pondered the stars and mused whether humanity is unique or if, somewhere else in the dark of the ni ght sky, there are other beings who con template and wonder as we do, fellow thinkers in the cosmos. Such beings might view themselves and the uni verse differe ntly. Somewhere else there might be very exotic biologies and tech no logies and societies. In a cosmic setting vast and old beyond ordinary huma n un dersta nding, we are a little Ion ely; and we ponder the ultimate significanee, if any, of our tiny but exquisite blue pla net. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is the search for a gen erally acceptable cosmic con text for the huma n species. In the deepest sen se, the search for extraterrestrial in tellige nce is a search for ourselves. In the last few years -- in one-millionth the lifetime of our species on this planet -- we have achieved an extraord inary tech no logical capability which en ables us to seek out uni mag in ably dista nt civilizati ons even if they are no more adva need tha n we. That capability is called radio astr onomy and in volves sin gle radio telescopes, collecti ons or arrays of radio telescopes, sen sitive radio detectors, advaneed computers for processing received date, and the imagi natio n and skill of dedicated scie ntists. Radio astronomy has in the last decade opened a new window on the physical uni verse. It may also, if we are wise eno ugh to make the effort, cast a profo und light on the biological uni verse. Some scie ntists work ing on the questi on of extraterrestrial intelligence, myself among them, have attempted to estimate the number of advaneed technical civilizatio ns -- defi ned operati on ally as societies capable of radio astronomy -- in the Milky Way Galaxy. Such estimates are little better than guesses. They require assigning numerical values to quantities such as the numbers and ages of stars; the abundance of planetary systems and the likelihood of the origin of life, which we know less well; and the probability of the evoluti on of in tellige nt life and the lifetime of technical civilizations, about which we know very little in deed. When we do the arithmetic, the sorts of nu mbers we come up with are, characteristically, around a million technical civilizations. A million civilizations is a breathtakingly large number, and it is exhilarating to imagine the diversity, lifestyles and commerce of those million worlds. But the Milky Way Galaxy contains some 250 billi on stars, and eve n with a million civilizations, less than one star in 200,000 would 探寻外星人 自从人类有历史记载以来，我们一直在思索着星星，反复考虑是否只有人类存在，或者说在太空深处的某个地方是否存在其他同我们一样在不停地思索着的生命，也就是宇宙中跟我们一起思考的人。这样的人可能对自己和宇宙算法不同。在别的什么地方可能存在着非常奇异的生物、技术和社会。我们在一种空间和时间都超出人类理解的宇宙环境里感到有点孤独。我们深思着根本的意义，我们这个渺小的但精巧的蓝色星。 探寻外星人就是为人类寻找一个普遍能接受的宇宙环境。从最深层次的意义来说，探寻外星人就是寻找我们自己。 在过去的几年中在我们人类生活在这个星球上的百万分之一的时间里，一一我们已经具有了一种非凡的能力。这种技术能力能使我们搜寻到无比遥远的文明世界，即使他们和我们一样不先进。 这种技术能力叫做射电天文学。匕涉及到单架射望远镜、阵列射电望远镜、高灵敏度的无线电探测器，用于处理接收的信息的先进计算机以及全身心投入的科学家们的想象力和技能。射电天文学在过去的十年中已经打开了一个研究宇宙的新窗口。如果我们充分发挥自己的聪明才智去努力，它可能会帮助我们弄清楚宇宙生物世界。一些研究外星人问题的科学家，包括我自己，都已努力设法对银河系的先进技术文明社会的数目进行了估计一一先进技术文明社会定义为具有射民天文学能力的社会。这样的估计比猜想强不了多少。 它们要求将这些情况数字化，诸如星球的数量和年龄，有多少个行星系、生命起源的可能性有多大，这些我们较少知道：还有智慧生物进化的可能性和技术文明世界的寿命，这些我们近乎一无所知。 当我们进行计算时我们得出的这类数字是很有特点的大约有一百万个文明世界。想象一下这百万个文明世界的五花八门、这真令人兴奋，各种生活方式以及商业，可是银河系有大约二千五百亿个恒星，即使有一百万个文明世界，可每二十万
