The Park was pressed for primarily by wealthy merchants and landowners. In the first decade after its completion, it was clearly the playground of the wealthy. It was located too far uptown to be within walking distance for the city’s working class population. • English Romanticism is characterized by the picturesque ideal to blend with the natural environment. Central Park’s founding commissioners Olmsted and Calvert Vaux were influenced by this tradition. Their ideal was to allow New Yorkers to experience a day in the pastoral (田园生活的 country without leaving the island city. • Another style is Classicism characterized by formal symmetry and the use of straight lines, evident in the south end of the Park. 1• Until the late 19th century, workers comprised but a fraction of the visitors to the Park when they launched a successf ul campaign to have concerts held on Sundays. • Saturday afternoon concerts were for middle-class audiences, for the six-day working week precluded (预先排除attendance by the working class. • Indeed the concept of creating the park was originally conceived by wealthy New Yorkers who admired the public grounds of London and Paris. However, with the maturing of the nation and the rise of its power, the pride of Americanism gradually took the upper hand. The author therefore describes the Park proudly as efficient, purposeful and distinctive—neither romantic nor classical, and neither English nor French, but distinctively American.

现代大学英语精读(杨立民主编)第三册课文翻译
第一课大学时代鲍勃K哈特曼1.你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2.在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。
当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3.学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
4.1984年4月杰利弗K A K霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。

'.Lesson Four ：Wisdom of Bear WoodMichael Welzenbach1. When I was 12 years old, my family moved to England, thefourth major move in my short life. My father ’s government job demanded that he go overseas every few years, so I was used to wrenching myself away from friends.2.We rented an 18th-century farmhouse in Berkshire. Nearby wereancient castles and churches. Loving nature, however, I wasmost delighted by the endless patchwork of farms andwoodland that surrounded our house. In the deep woods thatverged against our back fence, a network of paths led almosteverywhere, and pheasants rocketed off into the dense laurels ahead as you walked.3.I spent most of my time roaming the woods and fields alone,playing Robin Hood, daydreaming, collecting bugs and bird-watching. It was heaven for a boy — but a lonely heaven.Keeping to myself was my way of not forming attachments thatI would only have to abandon the next time we moved. But oneday I became attached through no design of my own.4.We had been in England about six months when old farmerCrawford gave me permission to roam about his immenseproperty. I started hiking there every weekend, up a long,sloping hill to an almost impenetrable stand of trees called Bear Wood. It was my secret fortress, almost a holy place, I thought.Slipping through a barbed-wire fence, I ’d leave the bright sunand the twitter and rustle of insects and animals outside andcreep into another world — a vaulted cathedral, with tree trunks for pillars and years ’accumulation of long brown needles for a softly carpeted floor. My own breathing rang in my ears, and the slightest stirring of any woodland creature echoed through this private paradise.5.One spring afternoon I wandered near where I thought I ’dglimpsed a pond the week before. I proceeded quietly, carefulnot to alarm a bird that might loudly warn other creatures tohide.6.Perhaps this is why the frail old lady I nearly ran into was asstartled as I was. She caught her breath, instinctively touchingher throat with her hand. Then, recovering quickly, she gave awelcoming smile that instantly put me at ease. A pair ofpowerful-looking binoculars dangled from her neck. “Hello,young man,”she said. “Are you American or Canadian? ”7.American, I explained in a rush, and I lived over the hill, and Iwas just seeing if there was a pond, and farmer Crawfordhad said it was okay, and anyhow, I was on my way home,so good-bye.8.As I started to turn, the woman smiled and asked, “Did you seethe little owl from the wood over there today? ”She pointedtoward the edge of the wood.9.She knew about the owls? I was amazed.10.“No,”I replied,“but I’ve seen them before. Never close though.They always see me first. ”11.T he woman laughed. “Yes, they’re wary,”she said. “But then,gamekeepers have been shooting them ever since they got here.They’re introduced, you know, not native. ”12.“They’re not?”I asked, fascinated. Anybody who knew thissort of stuff was definitely cool — even if she was trespassingin my special place.13.“Oh, no!”she answered, laughing again.“At home I havebooks on birds that explain all about them. In fact, ”she saidsuddenly, “I was about to go back for tea and jam tart. Wouldyou care to join me? ”14.I had been warned against going off with strangers, butsomehow I sensed the old woman was harmless. “Sure,”I said. 15.“I’m Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow,”she introduced herself,extending her fine hand.16.“Michael,”I said, taking it clumsily in my own.17.W e set off. And as we walked, she told me how she and herhusband had moved to Berkshire after he’d retired as a collegeprofessor about ten years earlier. “He passed away last year,”she said, looking suddenly wistful. “So now I ’m alone, and Ihave all this time to walk the fields. ”18.S oon I saw a small brick cottage that glowed pinkly in thewestering sun. Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow opened the door andinvited me in. I gazed about in silent admiration at thebookshelves, glass-fronted cases containing figures of ivoryand carved stone, cabinets full of fossils, trays of pinnedbutterflies and, best of all, a dozen or so stuffed birds —including a glass-eyed eagle owl.19.“Wow!”was all I could say.20.“Does your mother expect you home at a particular time?”sheasked as she ran the water for tea.21.“No,”I lied. Then, glancing at the clock, I added,“Well,maybeby five. ”That gave me almost an hour, not nearly enoughtime to ask about every single object in the room. Butbetween mouthfuls of tea and jam tart I learned all sorts ofthings from Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow.22.The hour went by much too swiftly. Mrs. Robertson-Glasgowhad to practically push me out the door. But she sent me homewith two large tomes, one full of beautiful illustrations of birds,and one of butterflies and other insects. I promised to returnthem the next weekend if she didn’ t mind my coming by. She smiled and said she’ d look forward to that.23.I had made the best friend in the world.24.W hen I returned the books, she lent me more. Soon I began tosee her almost every weekend, and my well of knowledgeabout natural history began to brim over. At school, I earned thenickname “Prof”and some respect from my fellow students.Even the school bully brought me a dead bird he had found,or probably shot, to identify.25.D uring the summer I spent blissfully long days with my friend. Idiscovered she made the finest shortbread in the world. Wewould explore Bear Wood, munching happily and discussing the books she had lent me. In the afternoons we would return to the cottage, and she would talk about her husband — what a fineman he’d been. Once or twice she seemed about to cry and left the room quickly to make more tea. But she always came back smiling.26.As time passed, I did not notice that she was growing frailer andless inclined to laugh. Familiarity sometimes makes peoplephysically invisible, for you find yourself talking to the heart — to the essence, as it were, rather than to the face. I suspected, of course, that she was lonely; I did not know she was ill.27.B ack at school, I began to grow quickly. I played soccer andmade a good friend. But I still stopped by the cottage onweekends, and there was always fresh shortbread.28.O ne morning when I went downstairs to the kitchen, there wasa familiar-looking biscuit tin on the table. I eyed it as I went tothe refrigerator.29.M y mother was regarding me with a strange gentleness. “Son,”she began, painfully. And from the tone of her voice I kneweverything instantly.30.S he rested her hand on the biscuit tin. “Mr. Crawford broughtthese this morning.”She paused, and I could tell she was having difficulty. “Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow left them for you. ”31.I stared out the window, tears stinging my eyes.32.“I’m sorry, Michael, but she died yesterday,”she went on.“She was very old and very ill, and it was time.”33. My mother put her arm about my shoulder. “You made hervery happy, because she was lonely,”she said. “You werelucky to be such a good friend for her. ”34.W ordlessly, I took the tin to my room and set it on my bed.Then, hurrying downstairs, I burst through the front door andran to the woods.35.I wandered for a long time, until my eyes had dried and I couldsee clearly again. It was spring — almost exactly a year since I’d met the old woman in Bear Wood. I looked around me and realized how much I now knew. About birds, insects, plants and trees, thanks to her help. And then I remembered that back in my bedroom I had a tin of the best shortbread in the world, andI should go and eat it like I always did on weekends at Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow ’s cottage.36.I n time, that old round tin filled up with dried leaves, fossils andbits of colorful stone, and countless other odds and ends. I still have it.37.B ut I have much more, the legacy of that long-ago encounter inBear Wood. It is a wisdom tutored by nature itself, about theseen and the unseen, about things that change and things that are changeless, and about the fact that no matter how seemingly different two souls may be, they possess the potential for that most precious, rare thing — an enduring and rewardingfriendship.。

第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。
笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。
接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
从一开始我就结交了许多朋友，并且爱上了许多女孩。
我从未想过学校的生活是如此丰富多彩。

Let Me Read Your Tea-Leaves
Background: Fortune-telling
Tea-reading or coffee-reading(Tasseography): After a cup of tea has been poured and the tea is drunk or poured away, The fortune teller looks at the pattern of tea leaves in the cup and allows the imagination to play around the shapes suggested by them. They might look like a letter, a heart shape, or a ring. These shapes are then interpreted intuitively or by means of a fairly standard system of symbolism.
