We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12.Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips andslides in conversation.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.第四课1.And yet the same revolutionary beliet for which our forebears fought is still at issuearound the globe.Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world. 2.This much we pledge---and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3.United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4.But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.5.Our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced theinstruments of peace.The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6.To enlarge the area in which its writ may run.We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7.Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity inplanned or accidental self-destruction.Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8.Yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand ofmankind’s final war.Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9.So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign ofweakness.So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness.10.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11.Each generation of American has been summoned to give testimony to its nationalloyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country (by fighting and dying for their country's cause).12.With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of ourdeeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love.Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.第七课1.Boy and man, I had been through it often before.As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- ten travelled through the region.2.But somehow I had never quite sensed its appalling desolation.But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.3.It reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressing joke.This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.4.The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grime of the endless mills.The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.5.They have taken as their model a brick set on end.The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built looked like bricks standing upright.6.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards, with a narrow,low-pitched roof.These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.7.When it has taken on the patina of the mills it is the color of an egg long past allhope or caring.When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten egg. 8.Red brick, even in a steel town, ages with some dignity.Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.9.I award this championship only after laborious research and incessant prayer.I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.10.They show grotesqueries of ugliness that, in retrospect, become almost diabolical. They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.11.It is incredible that mere ignorance should have achieved such masterpieces ofhorror.It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.12.On certain levels of the American race, indeed, there seems to be a positive libidofor the ugly.People in certain strata of American society seem definitely to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Christian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful. 13.They meet, in some unfathomable way, its obscure and unintelligible demands.

高级英语II课后PARAPHRASE答案
Lesson 21. But my father was deeply attracted to it precisely because of its unexplored, uncultivated natural state, and the challenge.2. As a little girl, l believed my father's words, and was genuinely afraid of the possible disaster --if we didn't hurry up, the day would catch us and terrible things might happen.3. ...Occasionally the law officers would make some effort without real earnest to investigate Watson and to bring him to court, but there seemed to be little concrete evidence to prove that he was responsible for certain illegal activities.4. The control Watson had over this section of Florida was much similar to the dishonest or illegal activities of the law-enforcing officials and governors which Florida witnessed in the 20th century.5. Before the family built their own house, they lived in a shabby cabin at Gopher Key, close to the merciless Walton. The author uses an understatement -not the most gracious of living quarters -to describe their shabby, temporary home.6. We had abundant food on the island, and even the meals enjoyed by King Richard, who was famous for his love of food, couldn't possibly compare with ours. The tone shows the content of the author with the adequate supply of food on the island.7. Although it was very hot outside in the sun, we were happy to be dismissed from my mother's sessions indoors. We would have to read and write with her every day no matter what the weather was like.Lesson 41. The impact of Mike's leaving on my life was beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that Mike's leaving would have such a tremendous power that it would change the meaning of my existence completely. All my thoughts were about loss of Mike.2. At that time, we were young mothers, and we were supposed to lead a terribly busy life full of confusion and bewilderment caused by giving birth to and raising babies. And our minds were supposed to be fully occupied by how to feed the babies and things like that. However, in the midst of all this we still felt the need to discuss some of the important thinkers of our time like Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and T. S. Eliot’s sophisticated work "The Cocktail Party".3. 1 would be frightened, and my fear was not caused by my neighbors' visibly hostile and violent way of life, but by a kind of formless and hidden emptiness and meaninglessness of human existence. What happened around me was totally irrelevant to me, and I feel very isolated and alienated.4. She did not ask me abut my new life, either out of subtle consideration for my feeling about this sensitive subject or out of disapproval of my new life style.5. 1t would be a morally low thing, an indecent thing to commit infidelity in the house of a friend.6. 1 knew that he was a person who had experienced the worst in life, the hardest experience a person might have to endure.7. They experienced the worst together and they knew what it was like and understood the meaning of that experience. Such an experience posed the gravest test to people. If they stood the test, their friendship or marriage would be strengthened, and a sacred bondage would be formed between them. But if they failed the test, their relationship would be broken and they would be driven apart.8. 1f they acted on love, they would take risks. They wouldn't do that or go further in their relationship, but they would rather let their love remain as a sweet trickle, which would flow on gently and permanently, and as an underground resource, which would never be fully tapped but would never go dry.Lesson 61. The raising of a pig is like a tragedy, because it always ends in the killing of the pig, and the set pattern一buying, raising and butchering一is strictly followed in most terms. The killing, deliberately planned and efficiently carried out, is the most serious type of murder, yet, whether pigs should be killed and meat served has never been questioned.2. A pig couldn't ask for any better living conditions; at least no pig has ever complained.3. . .. since a pig is, like a child, always hungry, the whole family would be worried when it refuses to eat.4. Fred was quite exited about the event. He was down at the pigpen all the time. Because of his swollen joints, he moved about unsteadily. His face set ap.art the grass along the fence as he moved about. He was like a doctor, with his Jong, drooping ears dangling like a stethoscope, and he scrabbled on the ground as if he were prescribing some medicine.5. When things were ready for the closing of the pig, Fred became even more excited. With short legs and a long body, it managed to get through the fence and acted as if it was taking charge of the medical treatment.6. . . . 0ur procession was a serious and efficient one. Fred, who acted as the pallbearer, walked unsteadily in the back, though he was not qualified for that function. The sorrow of losing a family member was shown clearly in his face. The autopsy of the body's inwards was done right at the side of the grave. The intestines at the pig were first thrown into the grave, so the pig could lie exactly on those things that caused his death.7. . . . 1f a pig dies before he is supposed to, it is a serious matter for the whole community to remember. The whole community would share the sadness for his death.8. The purpose of this essay is to show that l am sorry for what has happened to my pig, since 1 have failed to raise the pig and cannot provide a reason why it didn't grow the way other pigs have grown,9. The pig's grave in the woods doesn't have a tombstone, but whenever somebody wants to visit it, Fred will show the way. I know Fred and I will often visit it, separate or together, when we need to ponder over problems or when we are depressed. And these days will be like memorial days, with the only difference of not hoisting the national flag.Lesson 91. This is perhaps because they only have places of birth, but not places where they feel at home and which they identify themselves with. But these girls are strongly influenced by their hometown, and the influence stays with them forever even after they leave their hometown.2. The brown girls try hard to repress their emotions and passions. However, these natural human emotions cannot be wiped out totally. Sometimes they will emerge and burst out. And they will develop, become stronger and stay with them So whenever and wherever this funk bursts out, the brown girls will do their best to stifle it.3. 1f his needs were physical, she could meet them. She could make him comfortable and give him enough or even more than enough to satisfy his physical needs.4. Geraldine had seen black girls like Pecola at many places and many times in the past.5. 0n the one hand, they (girls like Pecola) were ignorant and uncomprehending. They did not ask question why their lives were so miserable. On the other hand, as they were poverty-stricken and practically had nothing, their eyes revealed their desire for anything that could make their lives easier.6. 1n the eyes of these girls one can see that they were in despair, without any hope for the future, and that their life was nothing but a waste.7. As the girls were growing into young women, they had never worn girdles to make their figure look slimmer, and thus more elegant; and when the boys grew up, they just began to wear their caps with the bills turned backward to indicate that they had become adults.Lesson 101.As Saint George is a hero, the patron of arms, symbolizing chivalry, his image often appears on banners,and his name is often mentioned in the speeches of politicians (politicians often pay lip service to him).Saint George is used as a symbolic figure for political purposes. But John Bull is the tradesman and he delivers the goods we need in our daily life while making money at the same time.2.The English public schools have four unique features. First, all boys live in boarding houses. Second, sportsand games are organized and compulsory as part of the school curricula. Third, older students have special duties to help control younger students while the latter must do jobs for the former. Lastly, great emphasis is placed on good form and team spirit. These features enable the public school students to have disproportionately great influence.3.Pay attention to my use of the word "bankrupt", a word related to business. This reveals my identity as amember of the commercial nation, who would be careful and sensible enough to avoid any risks of failing to pay their debts.4.But my friend expressed his views as a member of the Oriental countries. They are nourished by a traditionof great generosity and richness, which is different from the English tradition of middle-class prudence.5.In this aspect, true love is different from material things such as clay or even gold which can be divided andtaken away. Yet, if we share true love, it will never diminish.6.In the above anecdote, I have become an example of the Englishmen for the moment. That put me in a highposition which makes me dizzy and is unfamiliar to me. I will now come down from that height and return to my role as your commentator on the characteristics of the Englishman.7.The Englishman's nervous system acts promptly and feels slowly. The combination of the two qualities isuseful, and anyone who has this combination is mostly likely to be brave.8.As literature is based on national character, there must be in the English nature hidden resources of passionthat have produced the great romantic literature we see.9.That kind of criticism is just like Bernard Shaw's attacks. It is nothing new and I'm used to these tricks andjokes; they won't do any harm to me.10.The Englishmen think they have a tolerant and humorous attitude toward criticism. In fact it is not so,because their attitude is limited by uncomfortable laughter, which indicates that beneath the surface of their tolerant humorous attitude they are uneasy. When they try to be humorous and brush aside criticism, they would titter and guffaw. Such uncomfortable laughter is a sign of uneasiness.11.1I have already made all my opinions known to you. What is said is said, and being diplomatic cannotunsay what has been said.。
