The young man, then 18 years old, did not wish to waste the “best years of his life” as a poor boy. He wanted the money while he was young, but his uncle was as healthy as he was wealthy. The Zeritskys were the obvious answer to his problem.They undertook to deep-freeze the youth without advance payment.

With shrewd(狡猾的)reasoning, she figured approximately (近似的,大约)the number of years he had chosen to be absent(缺席), and put himself (改为herself) away for a like period(时期). In a TV dramatization(剧本)rather pessimistically(悲观地)entitling (改为entitled)You Can’t Get Away , the husband described his sensations(感觉)upon being(一被……)defrosted after 15 years, only (加to) find his wife waiting for him right there in the reception room(接待室)of the Zeritsky plant(植物,草木;设备;工厂;庄稼).“She was as perfectly preserved(保存)as I was ,” he said. “Any (改为Every) irritating(令人恼火的)habit that had made my life unbearable(无法忍受的)with her was absolutely intact(原封不动的).”Another story came down(去掉) from the daughter of a Zeritsky client. Her fatherwas still, at the age of one hundred and two, passionately(热情的)interested in politics, but the chances of his lasting until the next election was (改为were) not good. The daughter herself suggested the deep freeze and he welcomed the idea. He decided on a twenty-year stay because, in his own words, “As (改为If) the Republicans(共和主义者)can’t get into the White House in twenty years, I give up.” Of (改为Upon) his return, he found that his condition had not been fulfilled. His daughter described him as utterly(完全的)baffling (改为baffled)(受挫)by the new world. He lived in it just a week before he left it, this time for good. His last words were, “How do you people stand it?”翻译:1. 总之,这些实验室设备太贵,而且也许过时了。

Thishappened for many complex reasons having to do with (与……有关系)the sexual revolution, the effects of the women’s movement on the family, the dying off(相继死亡) of the generation scarred by the Great Depression (大萧条)of the 1930s, a growing disillusionment with(对……的幻想破灭)the ability of our institutions to deliver the goods, the failure of the economy to live up to(满足) people’s expectations of a steady annual increase in income, a questioning of whether the values of a consumption economy are worth the hard work that pays for all the luxuries, an awareness that energy shortages and environmental hazards call for (需要) a new orientation, and a further evolution of individualism into the quest for less conforming personal life-styles.Simply put(简单地说), a New Breed of Americans have come to feel that success is not enough to satisfy their yearnings for self-fulfillment. They are reaching out for(伸手要,寻求)something more and for something different.I estimate that, at the present time, the New Breed, those who feel that their aspirations for self-fulfillment can no longer be wholly satisfied through conventional success, constitute a majority of the American people (approximately 52 percent).Not surprisingly, the younger, better educated, and more affluent parts of the population are disproportionately represented in the New Breed,while the older, poorer, less well-educated parts of the population cling more tenaciously to the old value system and to traditional symbols.改错:In recent years unpaid housework has suffered a severe loss in social status. For women today being “just a housewife” is a poor means of maintain (改为maintaining)self-esteem. For women, exclusive confinement to the unpaid work of housekeeper and mother somehow implies being cut(加off) from the full possibilities of self-fulfillment. A paid job has become a badge of membership in the larger society and an almost indispensable symbolic(改为symbol)of self-worth. It is also a practical means of achieving autonomy and independence. The woman with a paid job, how(改为however) poorly paid it may be, feels that she no longer has to the total(改为totally)dependent on the will and whim of a man. No longer is she too(删去) obliged, because she is trapped in a status of total dependency, to stay with a satisfactory(改为an unsatisfactory)marriage. Divorce rates have shot up because divorce is now a practical option for millions of women. They now have, or can acquire the “price of admission”to independence in our society—a pay (改为paid)job. This does not mean that only women are choosing divorce and are solely responsible to (改为for) high divorce rates; many women do not choose divorce because they are able to find work, and(改为but) find work because they are forced to support themselves after men leave to “fulfill themselves”.翻译:1.起初,我打算先准备生物课的考试,而后再做论文,但后来决定还是将做的顺序倒过来为好。
