UNIT 2-1 一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。

晚宴我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。

后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。

但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。

故事发生在印度。

某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。

跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。

席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。

年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。

“女人一遇到危急情况,”少校说,反应便是尖叫。

而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。

这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。

”那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。

在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。

她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。

在座的客人中,除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。

在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。

室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着下一道菜。

这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。

他首先想到的是往后一跳,并向其他人发警告。

但他知道这样会引起骚乱,致使眼镜索受惊咬人。

于是他很快讲了一通话,其语气非常威严,竟使所有的人安静了下来。

故事的背景是在印度,据说这个故事在当地仍然广为流传。

但实际上,这个故事并不是真的。

有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之前,一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事,但是我一直未能找到那篇文章。

在这个故事中,一对殖民地官员和他们的客人在家中举行盛大的晚宴。

餐桌设在宽敞的餐厅里,地板是大理石的,没有铺地毯,屋顶上的椽子裸露着,宽大的玻璃门通向走廊。

客人包括军官和他们的夫人,还有一位来访的美国博物学家。

在晚宴上,一位年轻女士和一位少校展开了激烈的讨论。

女士认为,现代女性已经不像过去那样害怕老鼠了,而少校则不同意。

他认为,女人在遇到危险时会尖叫,而男人则会更加冷静。

在场的美国博物学家没有参加讨论,他只是静静地观察着其他客人。

突然间,他注意到女主人的表情有些奇怪。

她盯着前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得的,迅速地离开了餐室。

只有美国博物学家注意到这一幕,其他人都没有察觉到。

他意识到,碗中的牛奶是用来引蛇的诱饵。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子,但是那里没有蛇。

室内的三个角落也没有蛇,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。

这样,剩下的唯一可能藏蛇的地方就是餐桌下面。

他想要往后一跳并向其他人发出警告,但他知道这样会引起骚乱,使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。

于是他讲了一通话,语气非常威严,使所有人都安静了下来。

“我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制力,我数三百下,也就是五分钟,你们谁都不许动一动。

动者将罚款五十卢比。

准备好!”在我等待进大学的时候,我在一份地方报纸上看到了一则广告,说是在伦敦某郊区,距离我家约十英里的地方有一所学校正在招聘教师。

由于手头很拮据,同时也想做点有用的事情,我便提出了申请。

然而,我也担心自己没有学位,没有教学经验,得到这份工作的可能性微乎其微。

1826年7月4日,正值美国独立㈤十周年纪念日之际,杰斐逊与世长辞了。他给他的同胞留下了一份丰富的思想遗产和众多的榜样。托马斯·杰斐逊对美国的教育事业作出了巨大的贡献,他认为,只有受过教育的人民组成的国家才能保持自由。

杰斐逊的遗训 布鲁斯·布利文
美国第㈢任总统托马斯·杰斐逊也许不像乔治·华胜顿和锨伯拉罕·林肯那样著名,但大多数人至少记得有关他的一件事实:是他写的《独立宣言》。
虽然杰斐逊生活在二百多年以前,但我们今天仍可以从他身上学到很多东西。他的许多思想对当代青年来说特别有蒜义。下面就是他讲过和写过的一些观点:
自己作判断。未经过认真的思考,杰斐逊绝不接受别人的意见。他在给侄子的信中写道:“不要因为别的人相信或拒绝了什么东西,你也就去相信它或拒绝它。上帝赐予你一个用来判断真理和谬误的头脑。那你就运用它吧。”
杰斐逊觉得,人民“是彻底可以信赖的,应该让他们听到一切真实和虚伪的东西,然后作出正确的判断。倘使让我来决定,我们是应该有嘶个政府而不要报纸呢还是应该有报纸而不要政府,我会毫不犹豫地选择后者。”

第三版⼤学英语精读第⼆册课⽂翻译1.The dinner partyI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests --officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."UNIT 2-1⼀场关于男⼈是否⽐⼥⼈勇敢的激烈的讨论以⼀个意外的⽅式。
