現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀1 第二版 第三單元課文翻譯和課后答案

1、土地的寓意皮拉薩哈姆是的，這些事我們家的稻田，以前歸我父母，再往前屬于我的祖先。這片土地已有三百多年的歷史了。我是家里唯一的閨女，我一直留在我父母身邊，知道他們?nèi)ナ?。按照我們伊薩的習俗，我的三個兄弟已結(jié)婚就都搬到他們老婆家去了，我老伴進了我家的門。那是我十八歲，他十九歲。我們倆生了六個孩子，兩個沒長大就病死了。其余的倆兒子、倆閨女一到我們有錢給他們買牛仔褲的時候就都離開了家。大兒子在曼谷找了份工作，給一家有錢人當花匠，后來一家勞務(wù)公司介紹他都國外去干活了，小兒子也去了挺遠的地方。我們的一個閨女在曼谷一家紡織廠里干活，另外一個閨女在一家商店里工作。有時候她們會回來看我們，呆上幾天就走，她們不時寄

2、些錢回來，捎話回來說她們挺好的。我知道她們說的不全是實話，有時候，她們受欺負、受侮辱，想到這些，我就覺得像一把尖刀扎進我的心頭。對我老伴來說還好受些，他有耳朵么也聽不見，有嘴么也不說，有眼睛么也看不見。他老是什么事都不著急，什么話也不說，只操心他自己的那點事。雖說這些孩子長期不在我身邊，但他們永遠都是我的孩子，他們一個個都走了，這可能就是命吧。我們的那塊地不大，連年的使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我們老兩口兒，慢慢老下去，且疲憊不堪。不過我和老伴還在這塊地力里干活兒，雨量充足的時候，地還不難耕種，老天爺不下雨的年份，不光是我們的犁斷了，我們的心也碎了。沒，我們倆沒怎么變，可我們的村子變了哪些地方變了

3、？就在十年以前，我們還能以物換物，可如今都用錢了。幾年前，我們還能請街坊來幫忙蓋房子、收割稻子或是打井。這會兒，都得付錢，他們才肯幫忙。塑料玩意替代了村里手工做的東西，以前男人們還做點竹器，可如今沒人干了?，F(xiàn)在村里到處都是亂扔的塑料袋，一下子冒出來不少商店，里面放滿了五顏六色的塑料玩意，還有些我們用不上的東西。年輕人都去鎮(zhèn)上和城里打工，留下我們這些老年人種地。我知道年輕人跟我們老年人的想法不一樣，他們說老年人思想落伍了。我這一輩子從來不用去理發(fā)店，也從來不涂嘴唇或是染指甲，我粗糙的手指和腳趾是用來在泥濘的稻田里干活，而不是用來擺著好看的。現(xiàn)在的年輕姑娘都穿牛仔褲，看上去跟小伙子似的，可她們覺得

4、這很時髦，為了買一條牛仔褲，寧可賣掉一頭豬或是一頭水牛。年輕的時候，我要是穿上這種褲子，是會遭雷劈的。我知道，時代變了，可是有些事是不能改變的，我們應(yīng)該每天給和尚施舍吃的，應(yīng)該經(jīng)常去廟里?？赡贻p人往往把這些事情都留給老人去做，太不像話了。噢，就在前幾天我還聽到一個半大小伙子沖他媽大聲嚷嚷，我年輕的時候要是發(fā)生這種事，全村人都會譴責這么忘恩負義的兒子，他爹也會狠揍他一頓。至于我自己，我是不會變的，我想變也變不了。你問我是快樂還是不快樂？這個問題我從沒想過。日子就這么一天天地過著。是啊，我這個穿破衣爛衫的一把骨頭現(xiàn)在還從早到晚忙著插秧，割稻。疾病、傷痛、艱難困苦、缺衣少食是我的家常便飯，我誰也不埋

5、怨。農(nóng)夫：我老伴說的不對，我的眼睛能看-看到了太多本不該看到的事情；我的耳朵能聽-聽到了太多對我不好的事情；我知道的事我不去說三道四，因為我知道的事太多了。比方說我知道貪心、憤怒和欲望是所有邪惡的根源。對這塊地、對我的生活狀況，我聽安心的，但是對于老伴我感到難過，這些年來她一直忍受我的沉默寡言，她從來都沒對外人說過我。我是想身邊能子孫成群，可是孩子們給吸引到城里和外國去了，看來他們誰也不會回來生活了，我死后這些稻田留給誰呢？三百多年來，這片土地一直是我們這個家族的，我對這片土地了如指掌。我的孩子都是在這塊地上捉青蛙、逮螃蟹、采野花長大的，可這片土地既拴不住他們，也喚不回來他們，他們一有了牛仔褲

6、，個個就像長了翅膀的鳥兒一樣飛走了。幸好，我老伴還在我身邊，我們兩個人還都算健壯，受了傷，傷口過段時間就愈合了。疾病時不時光顧我們，過一陣病就好了。我反正是永遠也不想離開土地，插秧的時候手指頭插進水田里那感覺真是太好了，這時候再聽我老伴輕聲說: “老頭子，如果我先死了，我就變成一片云，給你遮擋日頭”，這滋味真是太美了。十一月的時候，聞一聞成熟了的稻子的香味真叫人舒坦。清涼的微風吹動著地里密密的稻禾，掀起了層層稻浪，像金色的波濤閃閃發(fā)光。是的，我熱愛這片土地，我希望有一天我的幾個孩子中能有一個回來過日子，給我生幾個孫子孫女，這樣我就可以把土地的寓意傳遞給他們了。Preview1.C 2.A 3.
