To do it well seems to me one of the most difficult things in the world, and probably seems so to you, too. To see a friend off from Waterloo to Vauxhall we

10、re easy enough. But we are never called on to perform that small feat. It is only when a friend is going on a longish journey, and will be absent for a longish time, that we turn up at the railway station. The dearer the friend, and the longer the journey, and the longer the likely the absence, the

11、earlier do we turn up, and the more lamentably do we fail. Our failure is in exact ratio to the seriousness of the occasion, and to the depth of our feeling.我不會(huì)送行，它可是我所認(rèn)為的世界上最難做好的事情之一，對(duì)此，你大概也心有同感。送一位朋友從滑鐵盧去沃克斯廳可說(shuō)是一件相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單的事。但你從來(lái)就接不到這種輕松的活兒。我們只有當(dāng)朋友要遠(yuǎn)行，離去的時(shí)間又比較長(zhǎng)久時(shí)，才被召喚親赴車站送行。朋友交情越好，送的路程越遠(yuǎn)，離去時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，我們?cè)皆绲竭_(dá)車

12、站，相應(yīng)地我們?cè)庥龅氖【驮綖閼K烈。這種失敗的程度恰恰和場(chǎng)合的正式以及感情的深厚成正比。5. Translation Practice: Seeing People Off (2)In a room, or even on a doorstep, we can make the farewell quite worthily. We can express in our faces the genuine sorrow we feel. Nor do words fail us. There is no awkwardness, or restraint, on either side. Th

13、e thread of our intimacy has not been snapped. The leave-taking is an ideal one. Why not, then leave the leavetaking at that? Always, departing friends implore us not to bother to come to the railway station next morning. Always we are deaf to these entreaties, knowing them to be not quite sincere.

14、The departing friends would think it very odd of us if we took them at their word. Besides, they really do want to see us again. And that wish is heartily reciprocated. We duly turn up. And then, oh then, what a gulf yawns! We stretch our arms vainly across it. We have utterly lost touch. We have no

15、thing at all to say. We gaze at each other as dumb animals gaze at human beings. We “make conversation”- and SUCH conversation! We know that these friends are the friends whom we departed overnight. They know that we have not altered. Yet, on the surface, everything is different; and the tension is

16、such that we only long for the guard to blow his whistle and put an end to the farce.屋內(nèi)話別已十分體面，甚至在門前臺(tái)階也不錯(cuò)。我們臉上的表情書寫著真切的憂傷，言語(yǔ)里透出戀戀不舍之情，主客方不覺(jué)尷尬或拘謹(jǐn)，親密友誼更是絲毫不損。如此送別真可謂完美?？晌覀?cè)趺淳筒欢搅诉@種程度就該罷休呢？通常情況下，即將遠(yuǎn)行的友人們會(huì)是懇求我們次日清晨不要再趕到車站。因?yàn)橹肋@并非是他們的真心話，我們也總是對(duì)這些請(qǐng)求置若罔聞。假如我們真相信了他們的話，不去送別，他們反倒覺(jué)得我們反常了。通常，他們真心想再見(jiàn)我們一面，我們也會(huì)由衷地

17、實(shí)現(xiàn)他們的愿望，我們會(huì)準(zhǔn)時(shí)出現(xiàn)。然后，我們哈欠連天，伸出手臂擁抱了彼此，幾乎沒(méi)有接觸。什么都沒(méi)有說(shuō)，我們注視著彼此，就像愚蠢的動(dòng)物和人類面面相覷一樣。我們談話-這是哪門子的談話！我們知道，昨天晚上，我們就已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了告別晚會(huì)，他們清楚我們沒(méi)有變。然而，在表面上，一切截然不同，氣氛緊張，我們只希望保安吹響哨子，結(jié)束這一切。 On a cold gray morning of last week I duly turned up at Euston, to see off an old friend who was starting for America. Overnight, we had gi

18、ven him a farewell dinner, in which sadness was well mingled with festivity. Years probably would elapse before his return. Some of us might never see him again. Not ignoring the shadow of the future, we gaily celebrated the past. We were thankful to have known our guest as were grieved to lose him;

19、 and both these emotions were made manifest. It was a perfect farewell.上周在一個(gè)灰蒙蒙又寒冷的早晨，我準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)了尤思頓，為一個(gè)老朋友送行，他要?jiǎng)由砣ッ绹?guó)了。前一晚上，我們?yōu)樗e行了一個(gè)踐行晚會(huì)，其中夾雜著悲傷和歡樂(lè)。他這一去可能就是多年，席上有些人也許再也見(jiàn)不到他。但不管將來(lái)的陰影，我們盡情暢敘舊日的情誼。感謝相識(shí)一場(chǎng)，卻也悲痛即將離別，兩種情懷欣然體現(xiàn)，昨晚的離別真是完美。6. Translation Practice: In his classic novel, “ The Pioneers”, James Fenim

20、ore Cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He describes the board streets, rows of the houses, a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. “ where are the beauties and improvements which you were to sho

21、w me?” she asks. Hes astonished she cant see them. “ where! Why everywhere,” he replies. For though they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished. 詹姆斯·庫(kù)珀在他的經(jīng)典小說(shuō)拓荒者中塑造了一個(gè)男主角一個(gè)土地開(kāi)發(fā)商，帶著他的堂妹暢游在他建造的城市里

23、 freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. As Albert Einstein once said, “ Life for the American is always becoming, never being.”庫(kù)珀解釋了美國(guó)人的一個(gè)明顯的特質(zhì)，超前思想：能根據(jù)未來(lái)的優(yōu)勢(shì)來(lái)看待現(xiàn)狀；能自由的去感知事物且不被過(guò)去所牽絆，也能對(duì)將要到來(lái)的事物投入更多的感情。正如阿爾伯特·愛(ài)因斯坦曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)的，“美國(guó)人的生活總是在不斷地改變著，而不是固定不變的。”7

24、. Translation Practice: The thirty-second day out of Bombay began inauspiciously. In the morning a sea smashed one of the galley doors. We dashed in through lots of steam and found the cook very wet and indignant with ship: “ Shes getting worse every day. Shes trying to drown me in front of my own s

25、tove!” He was very angry. We pacified him, and the carpenter, though washed away twice from there, managed to repair the door. Through that accident our dinners was not ready till late, but it didnt matter in the end because Knowels, who went to fetch it, got knocked down by a sea and the dinner wen

The ships captain, looking more hard and thin-lipped than ever, would not notice that the ship, asked to do too much, appeared to lose heart altogether for the first time since we knew her. 出孟買灣之后的第32天開(kāi)始就透著些許的不祥。清晨，海浪先是將一扇船門砸壞。我們冒著濃濃的霧氣沖了進(jìn)去，發(fā)現(xiàn)廚師渾身濕透，正在對(duì)這條船大發(fā)牢騷。"它變得一天比一天不中用了。它愣是

38、n Practice: Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating others.

Winners do not need to hide behind a mask. 成者行事并不拘泥于某種信條，即便是他們認(rèn)為應(yīng)為其奉獻(xiàn)一生的理念；而是本色行事，所以并不把精力用來(lái)表演，保持偽裝或操控他人。他們明了愛(ài)與裝愛(ài)、愚蠢與裝傻、博學(xué)與賣弄之間迥然有別。成者無(wú)須藏于面具之后。 Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use th

40、eir own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and dont pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions.

42、terWhen visitors from abroad undertake to describe the American character, the results are frequently puzzling to Americans. “ All Americans are Puritans; Thats whats wrong with them,” says one. “ Theyre always thinking about enjoying themselves,” says another. “ They spend too much time at work,” a

They have no

44、 manners, no respect for their elders.”要是讓國(guó)外來(lái)客描述美國(guó)人的性格，結(jié)果常常令美國(guó)人感到奇怪。一個(gè)人說(shuō)：“所有的美國(guó)人都是清教徒；所以他們與眾不同?！绷硪粋€(gè)人說(shuō)：“他們總是想方設(shè)法讓自己開(kāi)心。”一位尊貴的客人告訴我們：“他們花在工作上的時(shí)間太多。他們不懂如何玩樂(lè)。”另一個(gè)人反駁說(shuō)：“他們不懂什么是工作。因?yàn)闄C(jī)器替他們做了一切?！薄懊绹?guó)女人是不知廉恥的，妖艷而危險(xiǎn)的女人。”-“不，她們假正經(jīng)?！薄斑@里的孩子真好外向，自然。”-“象小小的野獸一樣自然。他們沒(méi)禮貌，不尊敬長(zhǎng)輩。” There is ,of course, no single pattern

45、of American character any more than there is a single English or Turkish or Chinese character. Personality in American is further complicated by our diverse racial and cultural origins, by successive waves of immigration from all parts of the world, by our regional diversities. It is complicated by

46、several hundred varieties of religious belief with their varying impact on believers. It is further diversified by the generation to which the person belongsfirst generation immigrant, second generation child of immigrants, and on down the line.當(dāng)然，世上既沒(méi)有單一模式的美國(guó)人性格，也沒(méi)有單一的英國(guó)人性格或土耳其人性格或是中國(guó)人性格。個(gè)性的定義在美國(guó)變得

Yet those who look a little deeper are puzzled by the seeming contradictions in American life. It is true

48、 that American as a whole work hard. But they also play hard. They spend more time and money in traveling, camping, hunting, watching sports, drinking, smoking, going to movies, watching television and reading newspaper and magazines than any other people in the world. Yet they also spend more money

49、 on churches, social services, hospitals and all kinds of charities. They are always in a hurry, yet they spend more time relaxing.

Books are for use, not for show; you should own no book that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to place on the

52、table, wide open and face down. A good reason for marking favorite passages in books is that practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly, and then in later years, it is like visiting a forest where you once blazed a trail. You have the pleasure of g

53、oing over the old ground, and recalling the intellectual scenery and your own earlier self.但是你自己的書是屬于你的，你可以毫無(wú)拘束地用一種深情的親昵態(tài)度來(lái)對(duì)待它們。藏書是為了使用，不是為了炫耀；你害怕做上記號(hào)的書，或者不敢攤開(kāi)翻轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)來(lái)放在桌上書，你就不應(yīng)該擁有它們。在書內(nèi)你喜歡的段落標(biāo)上記號(hào)的一個(gè)重要原因是，這種做法可以使你更容易的記住那些重要的話，很快的查閱它們，若干年后再讀到時(shí)，就像來(lái)到一座你曾在樹(shù)皮上刻過(guò)印記的森林。你會(huì)享受一種故地重游的樂(lè)趣，回憶起寓意深邃的景色和你本人早期的自我。13.

54、nslation Practice: We hear it said frequently that what present-day men most desire is security. If that is so, then they have a wrong notion of what the real, the ultimate, security is. No one who is dependent on anything outside himself, upon money, power, fame or what-not, is or ever can be secur

55、e. Only he who possesses himself and is content with himself is actually secure. Too much is being said about the importance of adjustment and “ participation in the group.” Even cooperation, to give this thing its most favorable designation, is no more important than the ability to stand alone when

56、 the choice must be made between the sacrifice of ones own integrity and adjustment to or participation in group activity.14.

Translation Practice: The lines of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despite the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they
