【艺术类院校大学英语第一册】课文翻译及课后答案
英语第一册课文翻译及课后答案（9~16）第九单元歌剧的性质三百多年以来，歌剧已经成为一种最吸引人的音乐娱乐形式。
各具独特的魅力与和他有关的一些分不开——咏叹调，歌唱家和角色，更不用说它的首映夜了。
卡门，咪咪，维奥莱塔，特里斯坦无论是在现实中还是故事中，是什么样的人物能拥有一代又一代那么重视的观众呢？歌剧就是演唱出来的戏剧。
它把声乐、器乐资源---独唱家、合奏，合唱团、乐队、芭蕾与诗歌、戏剧、表演、哑剧、舞台场景、还有戏服等办法融合起来。
把多种元素融为一体并不简单，这一点一直让音乐史上一些最有聪明才智的人大伤脑筋。
乍一看，歌剧似乎不太可能让观众那么容易相信它。
因为它呈现给我们的是一些人沉浸在剧情中不用对话用歌声来表达感情。
有理由问这样一个问题（从歌剧诞生以来文学家们既已经尖锐地问过了）：一种这么不自然的艺术如何让人信服呢？这个问题忽略了一点：让艺术一直都具有激情的最基本的东西：不是去复制自然，而是提高我们对自然的意识。
的确，现实中的人们不会对唱，也不会像莎士比亚笔下的人物那样用无韵诗对话，他们也不住在为方便观众看见里面而缺少一面墙的房间里。
所有的艺术使用一些艺术家和观众都能接受的传统，歌剧使用的传统比诗歌、绘画、戏剧、或电影更明显但本质有不一样。
一旦我们已经接受毯子能飞的事实，也就很容易相信它也可以带上把王子的行李。
歌剧在诗化的戏剧中具有独特的作用。
他利用人类的声音以其独有的力量把人类最基本的情感——爱、恨、妒嫉、快乐、悲伤对观众形成强大的冲击。
现实的逻辑在歌剧的舞台上被艺术超越现实的逻辑所替代，被音乐对心灵产生的力量所替代。

Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform,and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwingme into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said myfather, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none ofthem knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady camealong, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable andbeneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love withmany girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learningnumbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter ofplaying and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to theparadise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which wasopened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, betweenearly morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。
