I. Sing a Song
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow But don’t let anyone tear them away Hold on there will be tomorrow In time you’ll find the way And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you!......

I. Sing a Song
It’s a long road when you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand for you to hold You can find love if you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt will disappear And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you
The Man in the Water译文
The Man in the Water (课文翻译)跟人类所经历的其她灾难相比,这次算得上就是相当严重,但并不就是史无前例的,确切的说,算不上美国历史上最严重的空难。
当然,这次灾难也有与众不同的地方。
例如,事故发生在桥上,肇事飞机在交通高峰期撞到桥上。
还有就就是事故发生的地点与众不同。
华盛顿这个秩序井然的城市,因为隆冬的匆匆到来与这次事故变得人心惶惶。
事故发生时,华盛顿国家机场的飞机跟往常一样像饥饿的鸽子般在总统纪念碑上空盘旋,坠落的那架就成了它们的象征。
紧接着,那架蓝绿相间有空中花园之称的佛罗里达客机轰得坠落,在冰块中消失的无影无踪,虽然这样,姿势却仍优雅万分。
可以肯定地说,这些都就是值得注意的。
然而除了死亡人数之外,这次事故再没有什么与众不同的地方。
死亡总就是特别的,但未必总会引起千百万人的瞩目。
那么震惊之处何在呢？也许在这场灾难中,人们瞧到的不仅仅就是机械故障,或许她们就根本没有瞧到故障,而就是发现了自己的某些成功之处。
毕竟,这就是两种力量的碰撞:自然力量与人的性格。
大自然的力量总就是如此无情,上周三硬就是让90次航班坠落。
也正就是在那天下午,人的品质——在摸索与挣扎中——奋起反抗,应对灾难。
在这次事件中,有四个公认的英雄,其中三个有幸活下来解释她们的英勇行为。
唐纳德厄舍与尤金温沙就是公园巡警直升机的队员,她们两人一次次冒着生命危险把起落架放进水中去搭救幸存者。
在电视上,她们俩并排站着,把自己的所作所为说成就是分内之事。
28岁的斯库尼克就是国会预算办公室职员,她说:“我从未想过自己会那样做”——指她跳下水去把一个受伤的妇女拖上岸的事迹,她又接着说:“总得有人跳下水。
”这句话成为众多英雄的口头禅,虽无新意却仍令人钦佩。
事实上,并没有谁非下水不可,但有人却真的这样做了,这也就是之所以悲剧的阴霾在人们心中久久不能散去的原因。
这次灾难中最最牵动千万人心弦的当属那个起初被称为“水中人”的英雄,她秃顶,大约五十多岁的年纪。
the man in the water课文原文带段落
The Man in the Water1.As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst of the roster of U.S. air crashes. There was the unusual element of the bridge, of course, and the fact that the plane hit it at a moment of high traffic. Then, too, there was the location of the event. Washington, the city of form and rules, turned chaotic by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal. The jets from Washington National Airport that normally fly around the presidential monuments like hungry gulls are, for the moment, represented by the one that fell. And there was the aesthetic clash as well—blue-and-green Air Florida, the name a flying garden, sunk down among gray chunks of ice in a black river. All that was worth noticing, to be sure. Still, there was nothing very special in any of it, except death, which, while always special, does not necessarily bring millions to tears or to attention. Why, then, the shock here?2.Perhaps because the nation saw in this disaster something more than a mechanical failure. Perhaps because people saw in it no failure at all, but rather something successful about themselves. Here, after all, were two forms of nature in collision: the elements and human character. Last Wednesday. the elements, indifferent as ever, brought down Flight 90. And on that same afternoon, human nature—groping and struggling —rose to the occasion.3.Of the four acknowledged heroes of the event, three are able to account for their behavior. Donald Usher and Eugene Windsor, a park police helicopter team, risked their lives every time they dipped the skids into the water to pick up survivors. On television, side by side, they described their courage as all in the line of duty. Lenny Skutnik, a 28-year-old employee of the Congressional Budget Office, said: “It’s something I never thought I would do”—referring to his jumping into the water to drag an injured woman to shore. Skutnik added that “somebody had to go in the water,”delivering every hero’s line that is no less admirable for being repeated. In fact, nobody had to go into the water. That somebody actually did so is part of the reason this particular tragedy sticks in the mind.4. But the person most responsible for the emotional impact of the disaster is the one known at first simply as “the man in the water.”Balding, probably in his 50s, a huge mustache. He was seen clinging with five other survivors to the tail section of the airplane. This man was described by Usher and Windsor as appearing alert and in control. Every time they lowered a lifeline and flotation ring to him, he passed it on to another of the passengers. “In a mass casualty, you’ll find people like him.”said Windsor. “But I’ve never seen one with that commitment.”When the helicopter came back for him, the man had gone under. His selflessness was one reason the story held national attention; his anonymity another. The fact that he went unidentified gave him with a universal character. For a while he was Everyman, and thus proof (as if one needed it) that no man is ordinary.5.Still, he could never have imagined such a capacity in himself. Only minutes before his character was tested, he was sitting in the ordinary plane among the ordinary passengers, dutifully listening to the stewardess telling him to fasten his seat belt and saying something about the “no smoking sign.”So our man relaxed with the others, some of whom would owe their lives to him. Perhaps he started to read, or to doze, or to regret some harsh remark made in the office that morning. Then suddenly he knew that the trip would not be ordinary. Like every other person on that flight, he was desperate to live, which makes his final act so stunning.6.For at some moment in the water he must have realized that he would not live if hecontinued to hand over the rope and ring to others. He had to know it, no matter how gradual the effect of the cold. He felt he had no choice. When the helicopter took off with what was to be the last survivor, he watched everything in the world move away from him, and he let it happen.7.Yet there was something else about our man that kept our thoughts on him, and which keeps our thoughts on him still. He was there, in the essential, classic circumstance. Man in nature. The man in the water. For its part, nature cared nothing about the five passengers. Our man, on the other hand, cared totally. So age-old battle began again in the Potomac. For as long as that man could last, they went at each other, nature and man; the one making no distinctions of good and evil, acting on no principles, offering no lifelines; the other acting wholly on distinctions, principles and, perhaps, on faith.8.Since it was he who lost the fight, we ought to come again to the conclusion that people are powerless in the world. In reality, we believe the opposite, and it takes the act of the man in the water to remind us of our true feelings in this matter. It is not to say that everyone would have acted as he did, or as Usher, Windsor and Skutnik. Yet whatever moved these men to challenge death on behalf of their fellows is not peculiar to them. Everyone feels the possibility in himself. That is the enduring wonder of the story. That is why we would not let go of it. If the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival, he was likewise giving a lifeline to those who watched him.9.The odd thing is that we do not even really believe that the man in the water lost his fight. “Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature.”said Emerson. Exactly. The man In the water had his own natural powers. He could not make ice storms, or freeze the water until it froze the blood. But he could hand life over to a stranger, and that is a power of nature too. The man in the water set himself against an immovable, impersonal enemy; he fought it with kindness and he held it to a standoff. He was the best we can do.。

Lesson SixText A水里那个人The Man in the Water和一般灾难相比，这次灾难非常可怕，但并不特殊，肯定也不是美国有记录的最悲惨的堕机事件之一。
As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst U. S. air crashes on record.当然，不同寻常的有那座桥，还有飞机是在交通高峰期撞到桥上。
另外，还有这个事件发生的地点。
There was the unusual element of the bridge, of course, and the fact that the plane hit it at a moment of high traffic. Then, too, there was the location of the event.华盛顿这个布局合理、井然有序的城市，由于寒冬一阵突如其来的强劲气流和金属之间的剧烈碰撞而陷入混乱之中。
Washington, the city of form and rules, turned chaotic by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal.从华盛顿国家机场起飞的喷气客机，通常会像饥饿的海鸥一样绕着总统纪念建筑物飞过。
眼下，这架坠落的飞机成了它们的代表。
The jets from Washington National Airport that normally fly around the presidential monuments like hungry gulls are, for the moment represented by the one that fell.而且还有给人以美感的撞击——蓝绿相间的佛罗里达航空公司（“佛罗里达航空公司”字面意思是“飞翔的花园”）的飞机，沉入了黑色的河流中，被灰色的巨大冰块所包围。

The Potomac River
▪
The Potomac River is often referred to as the "Nation's River," because it flows through the nation's capital, where the magnificent monuments of the Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln memorials are reflected in its waters. ▪ It is one of the most beautiful and bountiful rivers on the East Coast and is known for its historic, scenic and recreational significance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803—1882)
one of the most famous American essayists, poets and philosophers. Known as a transcendentalist, his main themes are individualism, independent thinking, selfreliance, idealism and the worship of nature. His works include Nature, Selfreliance, American Scholar, Overload and many other essays and poems.

The Man in the Water (课文翻译)
跟人类所经历的其他灾难相比，这次算得上是相当严重，但并不是史无前例的，确切的说，算不上美国历史上最严重的空难。
当然，这次灾难也有与众不同的地方。
例如，事故发生在桥上，肇事飞机在交通高峰期撞到桥上。
还有就是事故发生的地点与众不同。
华盛顿这个秩序井然的城市，因为隆冬的匆匆到来和这次事故变得人心惶惶。
事故发生时，华盛顿国家机场的飞机跟往常一样像饥饿的鸽子般在总统纪念碑上空盘旋，坠落的那架就成了它们的象征。
紧接着，那架蓝绿相间有空中花园之称的佛罗里达客机轰得坠落，在冰块中消失的无影无踪，虽然这样，姿势却仍优雅万分。
可以肯定地说，这些都是值得注意的。
然而除了死亡人数之外，这次事故再没有什么与众不同的地方。
死亡总是特别的，但未必总会引起千百万人的瞩目。
那么震惊之处何在呢
也许在这场灾难中，人们看到的不仅仅是机械故障，或许他们就根本没有看到故障，而是发现了自己的某些成功之处。
毕竟，这是两种力量的碰撞：自然力量和人的性格。
大自然的力量总是如此无情，上周三硬是让90次航班坠落。
也正是在那天下午，人的品质——在摸索与挣扎中——奋起反抗，应对灾难。
在这次事件中，有四个公认的英雄，其中三个有幸活下来解释他们的英勇行为。
唐纳德厄舍和尤金温沙是公园巡警直升机的队员，他们两人一次次冒着生命危险把起落架放进水中去搭救幸存者。
在电视上，他们俩并排站着，把自己的所作所为说成是分内之事。
28岁的斯库尼克是国会预算办公室职员，他说：“我从未想过自己会那样做”——指他跳下水去把一个受伤的妇女拖上岸的事迹，他又接着说：“总得有人跳下水。
”这句话成为众多英雄的口头禅，虽无新意却仍令人钦佩。
事实上，并没有谁非下水不可，但有人却真的这样做了，这也是之所以悲剧的阴霾在人们心中久久不能散去的原因。
这次灾难中最最牵动千万人心弦的当属那个起初被称为“水中人”的英雄，他秃顶，大约五十多岁的年纪。
留着大胡子，有人看到他和其他五个幸存者紧紧抓住机舱尾部。
据厄舍和温莎回忆，他反应迅速且沉着冷静，每当救生员把救生索或救生圈抛给他，他会立即传给别的乘客。
“每次灾难中，你都会发现像他那样的人，”温莎说，“但我从未见过像他那样的人能做出如此大的牺牲。
“当直升机赶来救他的时候，他已经沉入水底。
这件事之所以得到举国关注，一方面归因于他舍己为人，另一方面则是因为他不求扬名。
而实际上他的默默无闻给予他的品质赋予了普通的内涵，一时间，他成了草根英雄的代名词，由此证明每个人都是不平凡的。
然而，或许他从未想过自己会如此无私、勇敢、奋不顾身。
仅仅在这场壮举的几分钟前，他还跟一群普普通通的乘客一起坐在那架无比寻常的飞机上，听空姐叮嘱他们系好安全带和注意无烟标志等事项。
我们的英雄跟其他乘客一样，神态安然，其中有些人后来还奉他为再生父母。
当时，可能他正打算读点什么，可能想小憩一会儿，也可能正因为早上的恶语而懊悔不已。
突然，他知道这次航行将不同寻常。
像飞机上的其他人一样，他求生欲极强，也正是为此，他的壮举才如此惊天动地。
在水中的的某个时刻，他肯定意识到，如果继续把救生圈和救生索传给别人，他将失去生存的机会，他肯定知道这一点，不管冰冷侵入他的经脉的速度有多么的慢。
他觉得自己别无选择，当直升机载起那个即将成为最后的幸存者的人时，他看到这个世界上所有的一切慢慢朝他远去，他已不再挣扎，而让一切顺其自然。
然而关于这个人，还有其他原因让我们关注他，至今也不能忘怀。
他在那里，置身于典型的、人与自然抗争的紧要关头。
置身于无情的自然中。
置身于冰冷的河水里。
就自然而言，它对那五位乘客的安危漠不关心，而另一方面，我们的英雄却对他们关怀备至。
也正因此，波托马克河上这场人与自然的永恒抗争开始了。
只要我们的英雄还有一口气在，人与自然的斗争就会存在。
斗争双方个性迥然：一方面善恶不分，不讲原则，见死不救; 另一方面却善恶分
明，讲求原则，甚至，忠于信念。
既然他输掉了这场战争，我们应该再次得出结论：在自然界中，人类的力量微乎其微，但事实上，我们却坚信人类能征服一切。
“水中英雄”的壮举唤起了我们对此事的真正感受。
这并不是说每个人都应该像他那样做，或是像唐纳德厄舍和尤金温沙那样。
对于这些英雄来说，为了同伴们的生存而向死神挑战，并不古怪或反常。
这正是故事的永恒魅力所在，也正是我们无法忘记的原因。
水中英雄把救生索传给在水中挣扎的乘客的同时，也把救生索传给了围观的每一个人。
奇怪的是，我们并不认为水中英雄输掉了战争。
爱默生说过：“自然界中的每一种事物都包含了自然的所有力量。
”的确如此，水中英雄同样拥有属于自己的自然力量。
他虽然不能呼风唤雨，不能凝结江河，直到自己浑身的血液全部凝固的那一刻。
但他能将生命传递给一个素不相识的人，这确实是一种自然力量。
水中英雄挺身而出，以一个冥顽不灵、毫无人性的敌人抗争。
他用自己的善心与敌人抗衡，并打成平手。
他是我们学习的榜样。
