A young boy faces the impossible task of trying to
soften the blow of tragic news.
YOU GO YOUR WAY, I'LL GO MINE
The messenger got off his bicycle in front of the house of Mrs. Rosa Sandoval. He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost imme- diately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be--this woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to hear of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she had nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open,
and there she was.
To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that
she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it,
her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all
people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at
the front door is full of terrible implications. Homer knew that
Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him . Her first word
was the first word of all surprise. She said" Oh," as if instead of a messen- ger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had known a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homer's eyes and Homer knew that she knew the message was not
a welcome one.
"You have a telegram?" she said.
It wasn't Homer's fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so ,
it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened. At the same time he wanted to come right out and say, "I'm only a messenger, Mrs. Sandoval. I'm very sorry I must bring you a telegram like this, but it is only because it is my work to do so. "
"Who is it for?" the Mexican woman said.
"Mrs. Rosa Sandoval, 1129 G Street," Homer said. He extended the telegram to the Mexican woman, but she would not touch it.
"Are you Mrs. Sandoval?" Homer said.
"Please," the woman said. " Please come in. I cannot read English. I
am Mexican. I read only La Prensa which comes from Mexico City." She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the
door as he could be and still be inside the house.
"Please, " she said, "what does the telegram say?"
"Mrs. Sandoval, " the messenger said, "the telegram says-"
But now the woman interrupted him. " But you must open the tele-
45 gram and read it to me, " she said. " You have not opened it. " "Yes, ma' am, " Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher
who had just corrected him.
He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman
stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, "Who sent the telegram - my son Juan Domingo?"
"No, ma' am. " Homer said. "The telegram is from the War Depart-
ment. "
"War Department?" the Mexican woman said.
"Mrs. Sandoval," Homer said swiftly, "your son is dead. Maybe it's a mistake. Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasn't
your son Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong."
The Mexican woman pretended not to hear.
"Oh, do not be afraid," she said. "Come inside. Come inside. I will
60 bring you candy." She took the boy's arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit.
"All boys like candy," she said. "I will bring you candy." She went
into another room and soon returned with an old chocolate candy box. She opened the box at the table and in it Homer saw a strange kind of candy.
"Here, " she said. "Eat this candy. All boys like candy. "
Homer took a piece of the candy from the box, put it into his mouth,
and tried to chew.
"You would not bring me a bad telegram, " she said. "You are a good
boy--like my little Juanito when he was a little boy. Eat another piece." And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy.
Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked.
"It is our own candy," she said, "from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too. "
Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didn't know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy ,and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? I'm only the messenger. "

There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in a further 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such a growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, school and health care for all these people? A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations. Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population grow. China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about half since 1970. Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year 2000. Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future.

My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,”he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,”she answered. “The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!” “ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----” “ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,”he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well-----”The woman looked at the child. “I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet.

大学英语(一)Unit1课文译文和练习
Unit One Text How to Adapt to College Life Quickly 课文译文 如何快速适应大学生活 当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。 1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。 2、走出你的宿舍。上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。 3、制定详细的学习计划。学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。 4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。你只年轻一次！ 记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。 Section 3 写作参考词汇 faculty 学院department 系/部， institute 学院/研究院campus 校园, laboratory/lab 实验室auditorium 会堂/礼堂, gymnasium 体育馆/健身室information desk 咨询处 library 图书馆art center 艺术中心 clinic 医务室laundry room 洗衣室 dining hall 食堂common room 公共休息室 Administration Office 管理办公室 computer center 计算机网络中心 Student Accommodation Center 学生住宿管理中心 audio-visual resource center 音像资料中心 Law School 法学院 Medical School 医学院 Business School 商学院 Faculty of English Language and Culture 英语语言文化学院 Faculty of Electronic Engineering 电子工程学院 Chemistry Department 化学系 Faculty of Social Studies 社会学学院
