They were totallyunprepared for the cruelty of the war and the immensity of its killing power. “They all came here with an air of confidence and eagerness, ready to win,”but what awaited them was “a one-way ticket to death.”2. He wrote his first entry when his regiment was in London to protect the city fromNazi's air raids; his second one when his group of soldiers had journeyed to a small European town untouched by warfare; and the last one when their secret location was discovered by Nazi troops and he faced approaching death.3. It was his wish to come home alive to see his family. This is mentioned in all the three entries: “I must go on living this nightmare, if not for myself or my country, then for my family back home. I want my children to have a father.”“…wondering yet again if I would ever see my family. I would give anything to see them, even if it was for five minutes!”“I wish, with all my soul, that I could be home now…I am thinking of my daughters' faces…I will always remember their faces…”4. He would tell them that those soldiers died bravely in an effort to save their countriesfrom turmoil and make the children feel that their fathers made a difference.5. He felt disgusted at the cruelty of the war, questioned the judgment of human beingswho started the war and felt enraged at killing innocent lives and destroying whole countries.IV.1.

Group discussion1) What can we benefit from a diary?2) What I would be like if I were in the WWII?Cultural information1. QuotesThe real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.— Ralph Waldo Emerson2. World War IIWorld War II, or the Second World War, was a global military conflict lasting from 1939 to 1945 which involved most of the world’s nations, including all of the great powers, organised into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million military personnel mobilized. In a state of “total war”, the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant action against civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it was the deadliest conflict in human history, and it has been estimated that it resulted in fifty million to over seventy million fatalities.The war is generally accepted to have begun on 1 September 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and most of the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. China and Japan were already at war by this date, whereas other countries that were not initially involved joined the war later in response to events such as the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Japanese attacks on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and on British overseas colonies, which triggered declarations of war on Japan by the United States, the British Commonwealth, and the Netherlands.The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over Germany and Japan in 1945. World War II left the political alignment and social structure of the world significantly changed. While the United Nations was established to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts, the Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next forty-six years. Meanwhile, the acceptance of the principle of self-determination accelerated decolonization movements in Asia and Africa, while Western Europe began moving toward economic recovery and increased political integration.Text IThe Diary of the Unknown SoldierGlobal ReadingI. Text analysis1.What do the three entries of the diary have in common?The three entries have two thematic topics in common, one being the horrible scenes of the war that the writer witnessed, and the other being the writer’s strong love for, and emotional attachment to his family. These two themes recur in all three entries.2.What particular situation or context does each entry have? And how is thisparticular situation related to the common thematic topics in these three entries?In the first entry, the writer describes how he felt and feared under German air raids. This led him to speculate about the difficulties and problems his family might be undergoing back in America.In the second entry, the writer describes his reflections on the justification of wars. The sight of a teenage girl and the grim condition ina small European town made him recall his dear daughters and family.The third entry was dated on Christmas Eve and about the approaching death.The writer’s only wish was that someone could return the diary to his family.II. Structural analysisDiary writing is a unique type of writing in that it is not structured ina pre-planned way as are other types of writing. In a diary entry, the writer’spen simply follows the flow of his thoughts. In other words, a piece of diarywriting is usually“structured” by the author’s free associations between the present, the past, and the future, or between the reality and the imagination, or between the actual happenings and the author’s feelings.Detailed ReadingThe first entryParagraph 1Questions:Why did the unknown soldier’s heart ache?Because everywhere around him he saw piles of rubbles where houses used to stand andthose who had once lived happily inside the houses now lost their lives, vigor and hope.Paragraph 2Questions:Why did the author say he was lucky at the end of the paragraph? (Paragraph 2) He was knocked into a trench in the air raid and thereby avoided being detected by the enemy plane circling overhead, so he thought he was a lucky survivor.Paragraphs 3-4:Questions:1. How did the author describe the aftermath of the explosion? (Paragraph 3)The author said in his diary “it was a sea of blood” after the explosions. 2. What thought came into his mind even though he survived the bombing? What madehim give up the thought? (Paragraph 3)Thoughts of suicide entered his head, but the strong desire to go back home to see his darling daughters and beloved wife made him give up this idea, he decided that he must go on living this nightmare.The second entryParagraph 1Questions:Was the author in a critical situation when he wrote his second diary entry? Yes. His K-rations were running low. His joints were frozen stiff and his ammunition has been used up. However, there was news that the Axis powers were sending troops to his location in a month.Paragraph 2Questions:How did the sight of a young girl in the small European town stir the author’s feelings?The author passed a girl of no more than twelve or thirteen when he was performing his routine watch. He couldn’t help thinking about his two daughters. He feltheart-broken and broke into tears, wondering if he would return home and see his family. He would give anything to see them, even if it was for five minutes.The third entryParagraph 1Questions:What was the author’s earnest wish when he was faced with his approaching death?He wished, with all his heart and soul, that he could be home, getting together with his wife and children, waiting for Christmas morning to come, enjoying the peace at home and the happiness of reunion.Text IILife Goes OnIn remembrance of a soldier, who died in action at YpresJoana CruddasLead-in Questions1. Have you ever visited any places in memorial of soldiers or citizens who diedin war?2. What impressed you most while being there? How do you feel about the place?Main ideasThe author impressed the reader with the cruelty of war mainly being specific about the great numbers of the soldiers and animals lost in the war. From these figures the reader can easily imagine how many civilians were killed.The idea “Life Goes on” is mainly expressed in the first and the last paragraphs. In the first paragraph the author describes the tall and defiant towers of St. Martin’s Cathedral and the Cloth Hall and tell us that “the Flemish city ha s been invaded nineteen times” in her history, which suggests that the evil will never be able to conquer the good. In the last paragraph, the author mentions, “this daily moment of solemnity passes quickly. Ypres is preparing for the annual Festival of th e Cats”, which tells us that life is sweet and that, whatever happens, sweet life goes on.Notes1. … stand tall and defiant above Ypres, Belgium. (Paragraph 1): Ypres is a town of West Flanders, Belgium, the scene of some of the bitterest fighting of the First World War. Flanders is a region in the southwestern part of the Low Countries (the region of northwestern Europe, comprising the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg), now divided between Belgium, France and the Netherlands. It was the scene of prolonged fighting during the First World War. Here the word “defiant,”which means “challenging boldly,”points to the heroic spirit of the people of the small town which had been invaded so many times.2.if anything(Paragraph 5): a phrase you use to introduce something that strengthens or changesthe meaning of what you have just saide.g.It certainly wasn’t an improvement. We were, if anything, worse off than before.She didn’t seem upset about losing her job. If anything, she seemed very happy.3. Commonwealth(Paragraph 6): a free association of Britain and certain sovereign independentstates, formerly the colonies of the British Empire and their dependencies4.sets the scene(Paragraph 7): prepares the way or creates the conditions in which an event islikely to happene.g. The unjust agreement set the scene for another war.The scene is set for a tragedy.5. We already are. (Paragraph 8): We are already imagining what it was like.6. He died that we might live … (Paragraph 12): He died so that we mig ht live …7.Führer (Paragraph 16): a German word which means “leader.” Here it refers to Adolf Hitler after he came to power. It is normally translated as “元首” . 8. My knowledge of history is put to shame. (Paragraph 16): I feel ashamed of my poor knowledge of history.9. Downing Street (Paragraph 17): the street in Westminster in London, where the prime ministerand the Chancellor of the Exchequer have their official residences10. Buckingham Palace (Paragraph 19): the official residence in London of the British sovereign11. Lord Kitchener (Paragraph 19): (1850–1956) British field marshal. As warminister from 1914 to 1916, he mobilized the British Army in World War I. 12. John McCrae (Paragraph 20): (1872–1918) a World War I poet. He is rememberedfor what is probably the single best-known and popular poem “In Flanders Fields”published in 1919.Questions for discussion1. The article is a brief account of the author’s visit to Ypres, which is chronologically organized. She was taken to a number of places by the local tourist guide. Now try to pick out the spots she visited, and then tell what historic significance each of them has.2. How does the passage impress the reader with the cruelty of war?3. How do you think the author felt when she was taken to the German cemetery?4. In what way is the title “Life Goes On” illustrated by the author?Key to questions for discussion1. First spot: Reservoir Cemetery, where the author’s uncle Peter Cruddas and hundreds of other soldiers were buried.Second spot: the Menin Gate. The names of 55,000 missing soldiers are engraved on its walls.Third spot: the Hooge Crater Museum.Fourth spot: Bethlehem Farm. The smallest cemetery, holding 44 graves.Fifth spot: Tyne Cot. The largest British cemetery.Sixth spot: a Belgian cemetery.Seventh spot: the Langemark Cemetery, a German cemetery.Last spot: the Pool of Peace, a large crater created by an explosion.2. The author impresses the reader with the cruelty of war mainly by being specific about the greatnumbers of the soldiers and animals lost in the war — about 250,000 dead bodies buried in just one of the 75 cemeteries (Paragraph 6), 55,000 soldiers were missing and half a million horses and mules were lost (Paragraph 7). From these figures the reader can easily imagine how many people were killed.3. How she felt at that moment is not explicitly described in the article, but most probably she hadmixed feelings at that moment, a mixture of hatred and sympathy. She hated the Germans for the destruction they brought to the world, but she might also sympathize with the German soldiers, who were also victims of the war.4. This idea is mainly expressed in the first and the last paragraph. In the firstparagraph the author describes the “tall and defiant”towers of St. Martin’s Cathedral and the Cloth Hall and tells usthat “the Flemish city has been invaded nineteen times”in her history, which suggests that the evil can never conquer the good, and the unjust never the just.In the last paragraph, the author mentions “this daily moment of solemnity passes quickly. Ypres is preparing for the annual Festival of the Cats”, which tells us that life is sweet and that, whatever happens, sweet life goes on.Memorable QuotesWhat are the harmful effects of war? Read the following quotes and find the answer.Guidance: Terrorism, nuclear weapons, wars between or within nations still threat world security. President Obama mentioned in his speech for winning 2009 Nobel Peace Prize that “…the instruments of war do have a role to play in preserving the peace. And yet this truth must coexist with another — that no matter how justified, war promises human tragedy”, which indicates that we are still far from a world without war, and we still need to strive for the war.1. There never was a good war, or a bad peace.— Benjamin FranklinParaphrase: The war is always bad, and the peace is forever good.2. War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity;it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroysfamilies. Any scourge is preferable to it.— Martin LutherParaphrase: War is the greatest disaster that can bring harm and suffering to humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys countries, it destroys families. No other disaster would cause as much damage as the war does.（注：可编辑下载，若有不当之处，请指正，谢谢!）。

Unit 6 The diary of the unknown soldier课文翻译综合教程二讲课讲稿
U n i t6T h e d i a r y o f t h e u n k n o w n s o l d i e r课文翻译综合教程二Unit 6 The Diary of the Unknown SoldierThis story is dedicated to all of the unknown soldiers who died while trying to protect the lives of the innocent.NOVEMBER 24, 19431 It has been almost six months since I last saw American soil, my family, or my home.My heart aches every moment because everywhere I look I see piles of rubble where houses used to stand and lifeless bodies that once moved around with the joy of life inside them. It is as if I have stared into death’s eyes and seen its hatred, its coldness.If it would have been some strangers’ corpses that I had seen I might have taken it lighter. But these lifeless heaps are, or used to be, my friends and colleagues. They all came here with an air of confidence and eagerness, ready to win.1 What fools they were! Couldn’t those men see that what they received was a one-way ticket to death, couldn’t they have opened their eyes! Of course, I was like them, but I have changed my views since the last D-Day, when our regiment was assigned to protect London.2 Today was rainy and cold, just like any other, when, out of the blue, German fighterplanes bombarded our small, makeshift camp.2 All I could hear were the sounds of bombs exploding, crippling those people in their way. I was suddenly knocked into a trench and able to be undetected by the planes circling overhead.3 I was lucky.3 When I came to, the Axis planes had gone and the few survivors that were left beganscooping up bodies. I s uffered minor head injuries, but the rest of my platoon wasn’t so fortunate. All I can say to describe the aftermath of the explosions is that it was a sea of blood. Right about this time thoughts of suicide entered my head, but Idecided that I must go on. I must go on living this nightmare, if not for myself or my country, then for my family back home. I want my children to have a father. Myfamily has been sending me mail, but I have received only a few letters so far. Oh, how I wish I could see my darling daughters! They are experiencing tough times too, with the food shortage problems and all. I hope the garden that they planted isgrowing. My thoughts drift to my wife now.4She is so dear to me that I can’t stop thinking about her.4 My job now is plane spotting. It is a civilian’s task, but there are no more civilians leftto do it. I must end this entry now because I am too tired to go on writing. All I ask is that I be alive5when this ends. Although I’m not so sure I’ll get my wish.NOVEMBER 29, 19431 I do not remember why I ever came here. Why does war have to be the way problemsare solved? War just creates more problems; something every sensible person knows.I guess that means people like Hitler aren’t sensible. Now my K-rations are runninglow. My joints are frozen stiff and my ammunition has been used up. Word has itthat the Axis powers are sending troops to our location within the month.6 Mysituation is grim and the odds of winning, or even surviving, seem unlikely. Moreblood has been shed and my body simply cannot take it.7 When I eat, sleep, and fightI have to stare at cold, lifeless soldiers that look like they were never alive. If I returnhome I vow to keep these soldiers’ memories alive by telling their families they died bravely in an effort to save their country from turmoil. While that might not provide much to help them cope with their loss, it will make the children feel like theirfathers made a difference.82 A few days ago my ragtag group of soldiers journeyed to a small European town thathad been untouched by warfare. Still, the townspeople took all of the proper war-time precautions. One night, as I performed my routine watch, I passed a young girl of no more than twelve or thirteen, who was walking home. I c ouldn’t help thinking about my two daughters when I saw her. I fell apart inside and broke into tears, wondering yet again if I would ever see my family.9 I would give anything to see them, even if it was for five minutes! I am not a man made for war, nor am I an adventurous person. I do not even remember my reason for joining in this madness!I guess I thought it was something that had to be done. A saying I once heard strikesa painful note in my head, “Even one war is too many.”10 The person who said it hada valid point.11 Never have I been so enraged at my fellow man before.12 Humans doerr, but that is no excuse for ending innocent lives and destroying whole countries!13 No one has that right. How can we be so selfish and ignorant as to not care about each other! This thought makes me sicker than when I am staring at heaps of bodies strewn over the tattered soil.DECEMBER 24, 19431 I think we have a spy in our regiment because the nightmare has surfaced again. Our“secret” location is being invad ed by Nazi troops as I write this down. I have hidden myself in a small trench, my last hope for surviving. I wish, with all my soul, that I could be home now, in my own bed, waiting for Christmas morning to come. The children would be tucked in their beds, and my wife and I would be soundly asleep in our room. I am struggling to calm myself down, but my face is covered in dirt andsweat, and my head is pounding like mad.14 I am so close to death that I can actually feel its fiery breath engulfing me.15 To help keep me from panicking I am thinking of my daughters’ faces as they open their presents on Christmas Day. The faces are all aglow with delight. I will always remember their faces, wait —I hear footsteps coming in my direction. My rifle is useless since there are no shells in it. If this is my last entry then please, whoever finds this, return it to my family. Oh my God! I can see from my hiding spot that a Nazi soldier is inspecting the trench. It is only a matter of time before he finds me. I have one last question before I die. Why?Almost nine and a half years after the last diary entry was written a British infantryman found the small journal as he was clearing away wreckage at the doomed battle site. The name of the author is today a mystery and it was not mentioned in the diary. Only the initial R was found in the bottom left-hand corner of the first page. The man, who is dubbed “The Unknown Soldier ,” was never found although we assume he is dead at this time.一个无名士兵的日记1943年11月24日我离开美国，家人已经有6个月了。

Unit 6 The Diary of the Unknown SoldierText comprehensionI. B.II.1. T; 2. F; 3. F; 4. T; 5. F.III.1. because he felt that all of them had been somewhat fooled. They were totally unprepared for the cruelty of the war and the immensity of its killing power. “They allcame here with an air of confidence and eagerness, ready to win,”but what awaited them was “a one-way ticket to death.”2. He wrote his first entry when his regiment was in London to protect the city from Nazi's air raids; his second one when his group of soldiers had journeyed to a small European town untouched by warfare; and the last one when their secret location was discovered by Nazi troops and he faced approaching death.3. It was his wish to come home alive to see his family. This is mentioned in all the three entries: “I must go on living this nightmare, if not for myself or my country, then for my family back home. I want my children to have a father.”“…wondering yet again if I would ever see my I would give anything to see them, even if it was for five minutes!”“I wish, with all my soul, that I could be home now…I am thinking ofmy daughters' faces…I will always remember their faces…”4. He would tell them that those soldiers died bravely in an effort to save their countries from turmoil and make the children feel that their fathers made a difference.5. He felt disgusted at the cruelty of the war, questioned the judgment of human beings who started the war and felt enraged at killing innocent lives and destroying whole countries.IV.1. Although my stories about their fathers' death might not relieve their sadness, they will enable the children to see the extraordinary significance of their fathers' contribution.2. I suddenly recalled a saying I once heard that made me very painful, “We can't afford to fight even one war.”Structural analysis of the textDiary writing follows the flow of the writer's thoughts. It is usually “structured”by the author's free associations.1. What do the three entries of the diary have in common? Two thematic topics in common, the horrible scenes of the war andthe writer's strong love for, and emotional attachment to his family.2. How are the particular situations related to the common thematic topics?Firstly, the writer describes his thought and fear under German air raids, which led him to speculate about the difficulties and problems of his family.Secondly, the writer describes his reflections on the justification of wars. The sight of a teenage girl and the grim condition in a small European town made him recall his dear daughters and family. Thirdly, it was dated on Christmas Eve and about the approaching death. The writer's only wish was that someone could return the diary to his family.Section Four Consolidation ActivitiesPart One. VocabularyI.
