1、英語名篇名段背誦精華21 The English Character 英國人的性格以下這段文字選自哥爾德史密斯的世界公民一書中有關(guān)英國社會的論述。關(guān)于英國人的性格，我們現(xiàn)在依然可以從中窺見一二。The English seem as silent as the Japanese, yet vainer than the inhabitants of Siam. Upon my arrival I attributed that reserve to modesty, which, I now find, has its origin in pride. Condescend to addres

They bear hunger, cold, fatigue, and all the miseries of life without shrinking, danger only calls forth their fortitude; they even exult in calamity, but contempt is what they ca

3、nnot bear. An Englishman fears contempt more than death; he often flies to death as a refuge from its pressure, and dies when he fancies the world has creased to esteem him.Except from Letters of a Citizen of the World by Oliver GoldsmithØ 注釋vain vein: too proud of ones ability or achievements

4、自負的fortitude ´f:titju:d: strength of mind that allows one to endure pain or adversity with courage 堅韌，剛毅exultig´zlt: to rejoice greatly; be jubilant or triumphant 狂喜，喜氣洋洋或得意洋洋contempt kn´tempt: disgrace, scorn 輕蔑，鄙視Ø 作者簡介Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was a great man. Despite the d

This reputation is based on, and justified by, some half a dozen books, essays, plays, poems, and on

6、e novel, The Vicar of Wakefield. And An History of the Earth and Animated Nature has been described as everything from “hackwork” to his “most substantial literary legacy”.奧利弗.哥爾德史密斯，是18世紀(jì)著名的英國劇作家。出生于愛爾蘭，1756年定居倫敦，并展開其創(chuàng)作事業(yè)。不論是詩歌、小說、文章還是劇本，他的寫作風(fēng)格均以嬉笑怒罵的形式，借以諷刺時弊。英國人似乎和日本人一樣沉默寡言，卻比泰國人更自負一點。我剛到倫敦時，把這種矜

7、持歸結(jié)為謙虛，現(xiàn)在我發(fā)現(xiàn)其源頭是自尊心。要是你主動先和他們客套寒暄，你就會成為他們的熟人；要是你停下來對他們贊美一番，你就會成為贏得他們的友誼與尊重。他們?nèi)淌莛囸I、寒冷、勞累，面對人生所有的苦難從不退縮；苦難只會讓他們更加堅忍不拔；即使身處逆境，他們?nèi)匀荒苄廊幻鎸?；但決不能忍受遭輕視，對一個英國人來說，這比死更難受。他常常因承受不了遭人鄙視的壓力而赴死以求解脫。當(dāng)他人物世人不再尊重自己時就會毅然棄世。英語名篇名段背誦精華22 The Use of History 歷史的用處歷史的用處(The Use of History, 1946)一書，傾注了羅斯對歷史的熱情，書中體現(xiàn)了他多年的教學(xué)心得。T

8、here are two ways of thinking of history. There is, first, history regarded as a way of looking at other things, really the temporal aspect of anything, from the universe to this nib with which I am writing. Everything has its history. There is the history of the universe, if only we knew itand we k

9、now something of it, if we do not know much. Nor is the contrast so great, when you come to think of it, between the universe and this pen-nib. A mere pen-nib has quite a considerable history. There is, to begin with, what has been written with it, and that might be something quite important. After

10、all it was probably only one quill-pen or a couple that wrote Hamlet. Whatever has been written with the pen-nib is part of its history. In addition to that there is the history of its manufacture: this particular nib is a 'Relief' nib, No. 314, made by R. Esterbrook and Co. in England, who

11、supply the Midland Bank with pen-nibs, from whom I got ita gift, I may say. But behind this nib there is the whole process of manufacture. In fact a pen nib implies of universe, and the history of it implies its history. We may regard this way of looking at ithistory as the time-aspect of all things

12、: a pen-nib, the universe, the fiddled before me as I write, as a relative conception of history. There is, secondly, what we might call a substantive conception of history, what we usually mean by it, history proper as a subject of study in itself.Excerpt from The Use of History by A.L.RowseØ

13、注釋temporal ´temprl: 當(dāng)時的，暫時的，現(xiàn)世的nib nib: 鵝管筆的尖端，鋼筆尖considerable kn´sidrbl: worth of consideration; significant 重要的，值得考慮的；有重大意義的Midland Bank: 米特蘭銀行the fiddled: 不重要的事substantive ´sbstntiv: of or relating to the essence or substance; essential 實質(zhì)的，實在的Ø 作者簡介A.

He published more than ninety books of history, poems, biography, and criticism, including The Expans

15、ion of Elizabethan England. 羅斯是當(dāng)代英國首屈一指的文史學(xué)者，著作豐碩，縱橫文學(xué)與史學(xué)兩大領(lǐng)域。其史學(xué)作品有文學(xué)旨趣，而其文學(xué)著作又有史家見識，尤其擅長用傳記來構(gòu)筑斷代史，為著名的伊麗莎白王朝學(xué)者，他的英國伊麗莎白社會歷史三部曲（1950-1971）著作更是有口皆碑，他也寫了好幾部丘吉爾家族傳，所以他的史學(xué)情懷可謂貫通古今。歷史的思考方式有兩種。其一，歷史作為審視其他事物的一種方式，其實僅為所有事物暫時的面貌，從整個宇宙到正在書寫的筆尖。每一樣事物都有它的歷史。宇宙也有它的歷史，要是我們知道的話雖然我們所知有限，總算知道一些；仔細想一下，宇宙和這筆尖，其間的差異也不

16、是那么大。但即使僅是這筆尖也有一段歷史。首先，透過它便有寫出來的東西，而這些可能相當(dāng)重要。畢竟莎士比亞戲劇哈姆雷特也只靠一兩支鵝毛筆便完成了。通過筆尖所寫出來的變成了它自身的歷史。此外，還有制造過程的歷史：我這支筆尖其實是英國艾斯塔布祿克(Esterbrook)廠牌314號凸版型產(chǎn)品，專門供應(yīng)米特蘭銀行用品，我是從那兒取得的或許應(yīng)該說是銀行的贈品。在這筆尖的背后有一連串的制造過程。故此，這筆尖蘊含了一個宇宙，而它的歷史也蘊含了它自身的歷史。我們可以把這種審視的方式看作歷史就是所有事物的設(shè)計面貌：一支筆尖、宇宙、眼前我寫作的領(lǐng)域.作為歷史的相對觀念。其二，則為我們稱作實質(zhì)觀念的歷史，就是我們通常

17、所說的，歷史本身作為一個研究科目。英語名篇名段背誦精華23 The Study of Words學(xué)習(xí)詞匯的重要性“你老板的詞匯量比你的詞匯量大。這是他為什么會成為你老板的一個重要原因。”作者認(rèn)為每天花15分鐘時間記單詞的人，才會有豐富得體的表達能力，因此詞匯能讓你卓越不凡！That if your vocabulary is limited your chances of success are limited.That one of the easiest and quickest ways to get ahead is by consciously building up your kn

23、isØ 注釋literature ´litrit: 文學(xué)（作品），文藝，著作，文獻convince kn´vins: to bring by the use of argument or evidence to firm belief or a course of action 使確信，使信服Ø 作者簡介Wilfred Funk威爾弗雷德.芬克，詞典編輯家、出版家、作家；Norman Lewis諾曼.劉易斯，紐約州立大學(xué)的英語指導(dǎo)教師，1942年合作發(fā)表三十天獲取更有力的詞匯量(Thirty Days to a More Powerful Vocabul

24、ary)一書。該書是美國出版史上最為暢銷的“自學(xué)手冊”之一。如果你的詞匯量不大，你成功的機會也就不多。最簡潔而又最迅速的改進方法之一就是有意識地擴大你的詞匯知識。普通人的詞匯量到了二十五六歲就幾乎停止增長了。從那以后要想繼續(xù)增加詞匯量就必須有一個精心設(shè)計的計劃。隨意安排的、漫無目的的計劃是不起作用的。詞匯學(xué)習(xí)并非只是某種與文學(xué)有關(guān)的事情。詞匯是思維的工具。沒有了詞匯你甚至根本無法思維。你可以試一試。如果你打算今天下午進城，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你在對自己說：“我想今天下午我要進趟城。”不借助詞的話，你連這樣一個簡單的決定也作不了。沒有詞匯你什么決定也作不了，什么判斷也作不成。一位鋼琴家的腦中可能想到了一首美

33、he act of dispensing 分配Ø 作者簡介Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773), English statesman and author. A noted wit and orator, his long public career, begun in 1715, included an ambassadorship to The Hague (1728-1732), a seat in Parliament, and a successful tenure as lord lieutenant of Ireland (1745-1746).

34、His literary fame rests upon his letters to his illegitimate son, Philip Stanhope (first pub. 1774), designed for the education of a young man, and upon his letters to his godson. 切斯特菲爾德勛爵，英國著名政治家、外交家及文學(xué)家。他曾就讀于劍橋大學(xué)，并游學(xué)歐洲大陸，1726年繼承爵位，1728年出使荷蘭，曾任愛爾蘭總督及國務(wù)大臣等職位。并與他同時代的文學(xué)家波普、艾略特、愛迪生、斯威夫特等國王甚密。切斯特菲爾德勛爵留給

35、世人最寶貴的財富，是他集幾十年的心血，寫個兒子菲利普.斯坦霍普及教子的信。在他的諄諄教誨下，其子也成為一名杰出的外交家。很多人抱怨命運，卻很少有人抱怨自然；人們越是認(rèn)為自然對他們?nèi)蕫塾屑?，便越是嘀咕命運對他們的所謂不公。人們常常對命運發(fā)出詰難：我為何沒有財富、地位、權(quán)力以及諸如此類的東西；但人們卻很少或從不這樣責(zé)怪過自然：我為何沒有長處、天賦、機智或美麗以及諸如此類的東西。事實是，自然總是將天賦公平地分配給人們，比人們通常認(rèn)為的還要不偏不倚，很少過分地慷慨，也很少吝嗇。人與人之間的巨大差異是由于教育和環(huán)境使然。文化修養(yǎng)改良了天賦，機遇環(huán)境誘發(fā)了天賦。如果允許我用“潛在的”這個學(xué)究味濃重的詞的話

36、，我們并不懷疑在農(nóng)田耕作，在柜臺后營業(yè)，甚至在豪門貴族中間有很多潛在的培根們、洛克們、牛頓們、凱撒們、克倫威爾們和馬爾伯勒們；但是要使果實具有它全部的品質(zhì)和風(fēng)味，還必須有耕耘過的泥土，必須有適宜的季節(jié)。倘若大自然有時候有那么一點偏心，沒有將天平擺正；倘若有一頭過重，我們就會在輕的一頭投上一枚大小適當(dāng)?shù)奶摌s的砝碼，它每次都會將天平重新調(diào)平，從不出差錯。因此就出現(xiàn)了這種情況：幾乎沒有人會毫無保留地和另一個人里里外外全部對換一下。雖然對于自然的分配，人人都感到滿意；然而肯聽聽她的忠告的人卻是如此之少!能將她當(dāng)作向?qū)ФS其后的人又是如此之少!她徒然地為我們指出一條通向真理的筆直的坦途；而虛榮、幻想、

46、e of poems in the history of American literature. 瓦爾特.惠特曼，19世紀(jì)美國最偉大的詩人之一。他費時37年，歷經(jīng)九次改版，才成就草葉集這本不朽詩集。他的寫作風(fēng)格清新質(zhì)樸，其詩文不拘于格律，思想自由奔放，鼓舞人心，又能從變化無常的世事中，直指生命的真諦。作品不但是美國文學(xué)的瑰寶，同時也受到全世界讀者的喜愛。我不會列舉最直聳云天或者最絢爛奪目的樹來說明這個問題?，F(xiàn)在我面前的是一顆我最愛的樹，一顆茂盛的黃白楊，樹干筆直，可能有九十英尺高，最粗的地方有四英尺寬。多么強壯，多么生機勃勃，多么堅忍不拔！多么口若懸河，而又默默無聞！這是沉著冷靜、存在即真的

47、表現(xiàn)，與人僅僅注重外表的性格恰恰相反。一棵樹情感豐富，藝術(shù)感唾手可得，英雄氣十足；天真無知，無心害人，而又冷酷無情。一棵樹具備這些氣質(zhì)，卻從不言語。樹以堅強和一如既往的平靜指責(zé)所有雨雪陰晴天氣，大風(fēng)來襲也只是輕輕搖曳，只要有一絲雨水或者一片雪花，人們就會跑進室內(nèi)。科學(xué)（或者偽科學(xué)）嘲笑人們回憶森林女神和樹神，嘲笑樹間的輕語。但是，如果他們不介意，他們同樣可以講演，可以寫作，可以吟詩，可以布道或者他們可以做得更好。我應(yīng)該說這些古老的回憶的確千真萬確，比我們所作的大多數(shù)追憶更加深刻。（“把樹切斷”，庸醫(yī)說這話的時候，你把樹據(jù)為己有。）坐在小樹林或者森林中，與這些默默無語的朋友相伴，回憶往事，陷入沉

48、思。追溯一棵樹的根源得到的啟示也許從土地、巖石、動物身上獲得的最偉大的道德啟示同樣是內(nèi)在屬性，無論旁觀者（評論家）如何猜想或者評論，無論他喜歡抑或厭惡，都堅守自己的初衷。更糟糕的是我們之間常常出現(xiàn)的流行疾病，我們的文學(xué)、教育、待人態(tài)度（甚至待己態(tài)度）之間常常出現(xiàn)的問題好疾病一樣看起來不會造成困難，或者根本就沒有困難，只是健全的、慢慢生長的、終年存在的人性本質(zhì)，書籍、友情、婚姻的本質(zhì)人類無形的根基，緊緊地連接在一起？英語名篇名段背誦精華26 The joys of writing 寫作的快樂寫作是一種快樂，但并不是每一個人都能享受這種快樂。丘吉爾把寫作當(dāng)作一種快樂，當(dāng)作對生活幸福的消化。把自己的

The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often represented to be; and authors are perhaps one of the

50、most important elements in its composition. They enjoy in this respect at least a real harmony of life. To my mind, to be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not wonder that others are inclined to envy those happy human beings w

57、利的民族英雄，是與斯大林、羅斯福并立的“三巨頭”之一，是聳立于世界史冊上的一代偉人。丘吉爾在文學(xué)上有很深的造詣，于1953年獲得諾貝爾文學(xué)獎。在我看來，世上幸運的人世上唯一真正幸運的人，是那些以工作為樂的人。這類人并不多，還沒有人們常說的那樣多。而且，作家是其中最重要的組成部分之一。及幸運而言，他們至少享受著生活中真正的和諧之美。我覺得能使工作成為樂趣，是世人值得為之奮斗的一種崇高的榮譽；而且，我相信別人會羨慕這些幸福的人，因為他們在快樂的幻想中找到了生活之路，對他們來說，每勞動一小時，就是享受一小時，而休息無論多么有必要是令人討厭的插曲，甚至度假也幾乎成為了一種損失。無論寫得好壞，寫成多少，

58、只要有心計，就可嘗到謀章布局的樂趣。在一個陽光明媚的早晨，臨桌而坐，整整四個小時不受打擾，有足夠數(shù)量的潔白稿紙，還有一支“擠壓式”妙筆那才叫真正的幸福。全心全意地投入一項令人愉快的職業(yè)此愿足矣！外面發(fā)生什么事又有何妨？下院想干什么就干什么吧，上院也可如此。異教徒可以在全球各地大發(fā)瘋狂。美國市場可以徹底崩潰。證券可以下跌；女權(quán)運動可以興起。沒有關(guān)系，不管怎么說，我們有四個小時可以躲開這俗氣的、管理不善的、雜亂無章的世界，并且用想象這把鑰匙，去開啟藏有大千世界一切寶物的小櫥。英語名篇名段背誦精華27 Three passions 三種激情三種激情，質(zhì)樸而又十分強烈，一直支配著我的人生，即對愛的渴望

59、、對知識的求索和對人類苦難的無限憐憫。當(dāng)我讀到這一句，我就深深為之吸引了。Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the
