1、 WORD格式整理版 unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life In America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life

2、 of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life. 在美國(guó)，不少人對(duì)鄉(xiāng)村生活懷有浪漫的情感。許多居住在城鎮(zhèn)的人夢(mèng)想著自己辦個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)，夢(mèng)想著靠土地為生。很少有人真去把夢(mèng)想變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)

3、?；蛟S這也沒(méi)有什么不好，因?yàn)椋缂?#183;多爾蒂當(dāng)初開始其寫作和農(nóng)場(chǎng)經(jīng)營(yíng)雙重生涯時(shí)所體驗(yàn)到的那樣，農(nóng)耕生活遠(yuǎn)非輕松自在。但他寫道，自己并不后悔，對(duì)自己作出的改變生活方式的決定仍熱情不減。 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeJim Doherty 1 There are two things I have always wanted to do - write and live on a farm. Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in

4、 my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country. 多爾蒂先生創(chuàng)建自己的理想生活 吉姆·多爾蒂 有兩件事是我一直想做的寫作與務(wù)農(nóng)。如今我同時(shí)做著這兩件事。作為作家，我和E·B·懷特不屬同一等級(jí)，作為農(nóng)場(chǎng)主，我和鄉(xiāng)鄰也不是同一類人

5、，不過(guò)我應(yīng)付得還行。在城市以及郊區(qū)歷經(jīng)多年的悵惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪終于在這里的鄉(xiāng)村尋覓到心靈的滿足。2 It's a self-reliant sort of life. We grow nearly all of our fruits and vegetables. Our hens keep us in eggs, with several dozen left over to sell each week. Our bees provide us with honey, and we cut enough wood to just about make it through

6、the heating season. 這是一種自力更生的生活。我們食用的果蔬幾乎都是自己種的。自家飼養(yǎng)的雞提供雞蛋，每星期還能剩余幾十個(gè)出售。自家養(yǎng)殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我們還自己動(dòng)手砍柴，足可供過(guò)冬取暖之用。 3 It's a satisfying life too. In the summer we canoe on the river, go picnicking in the woods and take long bicycle rides. In the winter we ski and skate. We get excited about sunsets. We lov

7、e the smell of the earth warming and the sound of cattle lowing. We watch for hawks in the sky and deer in the cornfields. 這也是一種令人滿足的生活。夏日里我們?cè)诤由鲜幹郏诹肿永镆安?，騎著自行車長(zhǎng)時(shí)間漫游。冬日里我們滑雪溜冰。我們?yōu)槁淙盏挠噍x而激動(dòng)。我們愛(ài)聞大地回暖的氣息，愛(ài)聽(tīng)牛群哞叫。我們守著看鷹兒飛過(guò)上空，看玉米田間鹿群嬉躍。 4 But the good life can get pretty tough. Three months ago when it was

8、30 below, we spent two miserable days hauling firewood up the river on a sled. Three months from now, it will be 95 above and we will be cultivating corn, weeding strawberries and killing chickens. Recently, Sandy and I had to retile the back roof. Soon Jim, 16 and Emily, 13, the youngest of our fou

9、r children, will help me make some long-overdue improvements on the outdoor toilet that supplements our indoor plumbing when we are working outside. Later this month, we'll spray the orchard, paint the barn, plant the garden and clean the hen house before the new chicks arrive. 但如此美妙的生活有時(shí)會(huì)變得相當(dāng)艱苦

10、。就在三個(gè)月前，氣溫降到華氏零下30度，我們辛苦勞作了整整兩天，用一個(gè)雪橇沿著河邊拖運(yùn)木柴。再過(guò)三個(gè)月，氣溫會(huì)升到95度，我們就要給玉米松土，在草莓地除草，還要宰殺家禽。前一陣子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋頂。過(guò)些時(shí)候，四個(gè)孩子中的兩個(gè)小的，16歲的吉米和13歲的埃米莉，會(huì)幫著我一起把拖了很久沒(méi)修的室外廁所修葺一下，那是專為室外干活修建的。這個(gè)月晚些時(shí)候，我們要給果樹噴灑藥水，要油漆谷倉(cāng)，要給菜園播種，要趕在新的小雞運(yùn)到之前清掃雞舍。 5 In between such chores, I manage to spend 50 to 60 hours a week at the typewriter

11、 or doing reporting for the freelance articles I sell to magazines and newspapers. Sandy, meanwhile, pursues her own demanding schedule. Besides the usual household routine, she oversees the garden and beehives, bakes bread, cans and freezes, drives the kids to their music lessons, practices with th

12、em, takes organ lessons on her own, does research and typing for me, writes an article herself now and then, tends the flower beds, stacks a little wood and delivers the eggs. There is, as the old saying goes, no rest for the wicked on a place like this - and not much for the virtuous either. 在這些活計(jì)之

13、間，我每周要抽空花五、六十個(gè)小時(shí)，不是打字撰文，就是為作為自由撰稿人投給報(bào)刊的文章進(jìn)行采訪。桑迪則有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家務(wù)，她還照管菜園和蜂房，烘烤面包，將食品裝罐、冷藏，開車送孩子學(xué)音樂(lè)，和他們一起練習(xí)，自己還要上風(fēng)琴課，為我做些研究工作并打字，自己有時(shí)也寫寫文章，還要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、運(yùn)送雞蛋。正如老話說(shuō)的那樣，在這種情形之下，壞人不得閑賢德之人也歇不了。 6 None of us will ever forget our first winter. We were buried under five feet of snow from December through M

14、arch. While one storm after another blasted huge drifts up against the house and barn, we kept warm inside burning our own wood, eating our own apples and loving every minute of it. 我們誰(shuí)也不會(huì)忘記第一年的冬天。從12月一直到3月底，我們都被深達(dá)5英尺的積雪困著。暴風(fēng)雪肆虐，一場(chǎng)接著一場(chǎng)，積雪厚厚地覆蓋著屋子和谷倉(cāng)，而室內(nèi)，我們用自己砍伐的木柴燒火取暖，吃著自家種植的蘋果，溫馨快樂(lè)每一分鐘。 7 When spri

15、ng came, it brought two floods. First the river overflowed, covering much of our land for weeks. Then the growing season began, swamping us under wave after wave of produce. Our freezer filled up with cherries, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, peas, beans and corn. Then our canned-goods shelves

16、 and cupboards began to grow with preserves, tomato juice, grape juice, plums, jams and jellies. Eventually, the basement floor disappeared under piles of potatoes, squash and pumpkins, and the barn began to fill with apples and pears. It was amazing. 開春后，有過(guò)兩次泛濫。一次是河水外溢，我們不少田地被淹了幾個(gè)星期。接著一次是生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)到了，一波又

17、一波的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品潮涌而來(lái)，弄得我們應(yīng)接不暇。我們的冰箱里塞滿了櫻桃、藍(lán)莓、草莓、蘆筍、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接著我們存放食品罐的架子上、柜櫥里也開始堆滿一罐罐的腌漬食品，有番茄汁、葡萄汁、李子、果醬和果凍。最后，地窖里遍地是大堆大堆的土豆、西葫蘆、南瓜，谷倉(cāng)里也儲(chǔ)滿了蘋果和梨。真是太美妙了。 8 The next year we grew even more food and managed to get through the winter on firewood that was mostly from our own trees and only 100 gallons of heating o

18、il. At that point I began thinking seriously about quitting my job and starting to freelance. The timing was terrible. By then, Shawn and Amy, our oldest girls were attending expensive Ivy League schools and we had only a few thousand dollars in the bank. Yet we kept coming back to the same question

19、: Will there ever be a better time? The answer, decidedly, was no, and so - with my employer's blessings and half a year's pay in accumulated benefits in my pocket - off I went. 第二年我們種了更多的作物，差不多就靠著從自家樹林砍斫的木柴以及僅僅100加侖的燃油過(guò)了冬。其時(shí)，我開始認(rèn)真考慮起辭了職去從事自由撰稿的事來(lái)。時(shí)機(jī)選得實(shí)在太差。當(dāng)時(shí)，兩個(gè)大的女兒肖恩和埃米正在費(fèi)用很高的常春藤學(xué)校上學(xué)，而我們只有幾

20、千美金的銀行存款。但我們一再回到一個(gè)老問(wèn)題上來(lái)：真的會(huì)有更好的時(shí)機(jī)嗎？答案無(wú)疑是否定的。于是，帶著老板的祝福，口袋里揣著作為累積津貼的半年薪水，我走了。 9 There have been a few anxious moments since then, but on balance things have gone much better than we had any right to expect. For various stories of mine, I've crawled into black-bear dens for Sports Illustrated, hit

21、ched up dogsled racing teams for Smithsonian magazine, checked out the Lake Champlain "monster" for Science Digest, and canoed through the Boundary Waters wilderness area of Minnesota for Destinations. 那以后有過(guò)一些焦慮的時(shí)刻，但總的來(lái)說(shuō)，情況比我們料想的要好得多。為了寫那些內(nèi)容各不相同的文章，我為體育畫報(bào)爬進(jìn)過(guò)黑熊窩；為史密森期刊替參賽的一組組狗套上過(guò)雪橇；為科學(xué)文摘調(diào)查過(guò)

22、尚普蘭湖水怪的真相；為終點(diǎn)雜志在明尼蘇達(dá)劃著小舟穿越美、加邊界水域內(nèi)的公共荒野保護(hù)區(qū)。 10 I'm not making anywhere near as much money as I did when I was employed full time, but now we don't need as much either. I generate enough income to handle our $600-a-month mortgage payments plus the usual expenses for a family like ours. That i

23、ncludes everything from music lessons and dental bills to car repairs and college costs. When it comes to insurance, we have a poor man's major-medical policy. We have to pay the first $500 of any medical fees for each member of the family. It picks up 80% of the costs beyond that. Although we a

24、re stuck with paying minor expenses, our premium is low - only $560 a year - and we are covered against catastrophe. Aside from that and the policy on our two cars at $400 a year, we have no other insurance. But we are setting aside $2,000 a year in an IRA. 我掙的錢遠(yuǎn)比不上擔(dān)任全職工作時(shí)的收入，可如今我們需要的錢也沒(méi)有過(guò)去多。我掙的錢足以應(yīng)

25、付每月600美金的房屋貸款按揭以及一家人的日常開銷。那些開銷包括了所有支出，如音樂(lè)課學(xué)費(fèi)、牙醫(yī)賬單、汽車維修以及大學(xué)費(fèi)用等等。至于保險(xiǎn)，我們買了一份低收入者的主要醫(yī)療項(xiàng)目保險(xiǎn)。我們需要為每一位家庭成員的任何一項(xiàng)醫(yī)療費(fèi)用支付最初的500美金。醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)則支付超出部分的80。雖然我們?nèi)砸Ц缎〔糠轴t(yī)療費(fèi)用，但我們的保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)也低-每年只要560美金-而我們給自己生大病保了險(xiǎn)。除了這一保險(xiǎn)項(xiàng)目，以及兩輛汽車每年400美金的保險(xiǎn)，我們就沒(méi)有其他保險(xiǎn)了。不過(guò)我們每年留出2000美元入個(gè)人退休金賬戶。 11 We've been able to make up the difference in inc

26、ome by cutting back without appreciably lowering our standard of living. We continue to dine out once or twice a month, but now we patronize local restaurants instead of more expensive places in the city. We still attend the opera and ballet in Milwaukee but only a few times a year. We eat less meat

27、, drink cheaper wine and see fewer movies. Extravagant Christmases are a memory, and we combine vacations with story assignments. 我們通過(guò)節(jié)約開支而又不明顯降低生活水準(zhǔn)的方式來(lái)彌補(bǔ)收入差額。我們每個(gè)月仍出去吃一兩次飯，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在我們光顧的是當(dāng)?shù)夭宛^，而不是城里的高級(jí)飯店。我們?nèi)匀ッ軤栁只?tīng)歌劇看芭蕾演出，不過(guò)一年才幾次。我們?nèi)獬缘蒙倭?，酒喝得便宜了，電影看得少了。鋪張的圣誕節(jié)成為一種回憶，我們把完成稿約作為度假的一部分 12 I suspect not everyon

28、e who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are i

29、nvolved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. 我想，不是所有熱愛(ài)鄉(xiāng)村的人都會(huì)樂(lè)意過(guò)我們這種生活的。這種生活需要一些特殊的素質(zhì)。其一是耐得住寂寞。由于我們?nèi)绱嗣β担诸^又緊，我們很少請(qǐng)客。在作物生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)，根本就沒(méi)工夫參加社交活動(dòng)。吉米和埃米莉雖然參加學(xué)校的各種活動(dòng)，但他倆大多數(shù)時(shí)間也呆在家里。 13 The other requirement is energy - a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small

30、scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. 另一項(xiàng)要求是體力相當(dāng)大的體力。小范圍里實(shí)現(xiàn)自給自足的途徑是抵制誘惑，不去購(gòu)置拖拉機(jī)和其他昂

31、貴的節(jié)省勞力的機(jī)械。相反，你要自己動(dòng)手。我們僅有的機(jī)器（不包括割草機(jī)）是一臺(tái)3馬力的小型旋轉(zhuǎn)式耕耘機(jī)以及一架16英寸的鏈鋸。 14 How much longer we'll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody's guess - perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, we'll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we'

32、ve been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. We've invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like

33、 ours should be strong again. 沒(méi)人知道我們還能有精力在這里再呆多久-也許呆很長(zhǎng)一陣子，也許不是。到走的時(shí)候，我們會(huì)愴然離去，但也會(huì)為自己所做的一切深感自豪。我們把農(nóng)場(chǎng)出售也會(huì)賺相當(dāng)大一筆錢。我們自己在農(nóng)場(chǎng)投入了約35，000美金的資金，要是現(xiàn)在售出的話價(jià)格差不多可以翻一倍。不過(guò)現(xiàn)在不是出售的好時(shí)機(jī)。但是一旦經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)好轉(zhuǎn)，對(duì)我們這種農(nóng)場(chǎng)的需求又會(huì)增多。 15 We didn't move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality

34、of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know we've found just what we were looking for. 但我們主要不是為了賺錢而移居至此的。我們來(lái)此居住是因?yàn)橄胩岣呱钯|(zhì)量。當(dāng)我看著埃米莉傍晚去收雞蛋，跟吉米一起在河上釣魚，或和全家人一起在果園里享用老式的

35、野餐，我知道，我們找到了自己一直在尋求的生活方式。 Donna Barron describes how American family life has changed in recent years. She identifies three forces at work. What are they? Read on to find out. Then ask yourself whether similar forces are at work within China. Will family life here end up going in the same direction?

36、 唐娜·巴倫描述了美國(guó)家庭生活近幾年來(lái)的變化。她指出有三種力量在起作用。是哪三種力量？請(qǐng)讀本文。讀后問(wèn)一下自己，同樣的力量在中國(guó)是否也在起作用。中國(guó)的家庭生活最終是否會(huì)朝著同一個(gè)方向變化？ The Freedom GiversFergus M. Bordewich 1 A gentle breeze swept the Canadian plains as I stepped outside the small two-story house. Alongside me was a slender woman in a black dress, my guide back to a

37、time when the surrounding settlement in Dresden, Ontario, was home to a hero in American history. As we walked toward a plain gray church, Barbara Carter spoke proudly of her great-great-grandfather, Josiah Henson. "He was confident that the Creator intended all men to be created equal. And he

38、never gave up struggling for that freedom." 給人以自由者弗格斯·M·博得威奇 我步出這幢兩層小屋，加拿大平原上輕風(fēng)微拂。我身邊是一位苗條的黑衣女子，把我?guī)Щ氐竭^(guò)去的向?qū)?。那時(shí)，安大略省得雷斯頓這一帶住著美國(guó)歷史上的一位英雄。我們前往一座普普通通的灰色教堂，芭芭拉·卡特自豪地談?wù)撝涓咦鎲藤悂?#183;亨森?！八麍?jiān)信上帝要所有人生來(lái)平等。他從來(lái)沒(méi)有停止過(guò)爭(zhēng)取這一自由權(quán)利的奮斗?！?2 Carter's devotion to her ancestor is about more than persona

39、l pride: it is about family honor. For Josiah Henson has lived on through the character in American fiction that he helped inspire: Uncle Tom, the long-suffering slave in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Ironically, that character has come to symbolize everything Henson was not. A

40、racial sellout unwilling to stand up for himself? Carter gets angry at the thought. "Josiah Henson was a man of principle," she said firmly. 卡特對(duì)其先輩的忠誠(chéng)不僅僅關(guān)乎一己之驕傲，而關(guān)乎家族榮譽(yù)。因?yàn)閱藤悂?#183;亨森至今仍為人所知是由于他所激發(fā)的創(chuàng)作靈感使得一個(gè)美國(guó)小說(shuō)人物問(wèn)世：湯姆叔叔，哈麗特·比徹·斯陀的小說(shuō)湯姆叔叔的小屋中那個(gè)逆來(lái)順受的黑奴。具有諷刺意味的是，這一人物所象征的一切在亨森身上一點(diǎn)都找不到。

After winning his own freedom from slavery, Henson secretly helped h

42、undreds of other slaves to escape north to Canada - and liberty. Many settled here in Dresden with him. 我遠(yuǎn)道前來(lái)亨森最后的居所如今已成為卡特曾管理過(guò)的一處歷史遺跡是為了更多地了解此人，他在許多方面堪稱黑人摩西。亨森自己擺脫了黑奴身份獲得自由之后，便秘密幫助其他許多黑奴逃奔北方去加拿大逃奔自由之地。許多人和他一起在得雷斯頓這一帶定居了下來(lái)。 4 Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson

43、 is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom. 但此地只是我

44、所承擔(dān)的繁重使命的一處停留地。喬賽亞·亨森只是一長(zhǎng)串無(wú)所畏懼的男女名單中的一個(gè)名字，這些人共同創(chuàng)建了這條“地下鐵路”，一條由逃亡線路和可靠的人家組成的用以解放美國(guó)南方黑奴的秘密網(wǎng)絡(luò)。在1820年至1860年期間，多達(dá)十萬(wàn)名黑奴經(jīng)由此路走向自由。 5 In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S

45、. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories. 2000年10月，克林頓總統(tǒng)批準(zhǔn)撥款1600萬(wàn)美元建造全國(guó)“地下鐵路”自由中心，以此紀(jì)念美國(guó)歷史上第一次偉大的民權(quán)斗爭(zhēng)。中心計(jì)劃于2004

46、年在辛辛那提州建成。真是該建立這樣一個(gè)中心的時(shí)候了。因?yàn)榈叵妈F路的英雄們依然默默無(wú)聞，他們的業(yè)績(jī)依然少人頌揚(yáng)。我要講述他們的故事。 6 John Parker tensed when he heard the soft knock. Peering out his door into the night, he recognized the face of a trusted neighbor. "There's a party of escaped slaves hiding in the woods in Kentucky, twenty miles from the r

47、iver," the man whispered urgently. Parker didn't hesitate. "I'll go," he said, pushing a pair of pistols into his pockets. 聽(tīng)到輕輕的敲門聲，約翰·帕克神情緊張起來(lái)。他開門窺望，夜色中認(rèn)出是一位可靠的鄰居。“有一群逃亡奴隸躲在肯塔基州的樹林里，就在離河20英里的地方，”那人用急迫的口氣低語(yǔ)道。帕克沒(méi)一點(diǎn)兒遲疑。“我就去，”他說(shuō)著，把兩支手槍揣進(jìn)口袋。 7 Born a slave two decades before,

48、 in the 1820s, Parker had been taken from his mother at age eight and forced to walk in chains from Virginia to Alabama, where he was sold on the slave market. Determined to live free someday, he managed to get trained in iron molding. Eventually he saved enough money working at this trade on the si

49、de to buy his freedom. Now, by day, Parker worked in an iron foundry in the Ohio port of Ripley. By night he was a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, helping people slip by the slave hunters. In Kentucky, where he was now headed, there was a $1000 reward for his capture, dead or aliv

50、e. 20年前，即19世紀(jì)20年代，生來(lái)即為黑奴的帕克才8歲就被從母親身邊帶走，被迫拖著鐐銬從弗吉尼亞走到阿拉巴馬，在那里的黑奴市場(chǎng)被買走。他打定主意有朝一日要過(guò)自由的生活，便設(shè)法學(xué)會(huì)了鑄鐵這門手藝。后來(lái)他終于靠這門手藝攢夠錢贖回了自由?，F(xiàn)在，帕克白天在俄亥俄州里普利港的一家鑄鐵廠干活。到了晚上，他就成了地下鐵路的一位“乘務(wù)員”，幫助人們避開追捕逃亡黑奴的人。在他正前往的肯塔基州，當(dāng)局懸賞1000美元抓他，活人死尸都要。 8 Crossing the Ohio River on that chilly night, Parker found ten fugitives frozen with

51、fear. "Get your bundles and follow me, " he told them, leading the eight men and two women toward the river. They had almost reached shore when a watchman spotted them and raced off to spread the news. 在那個(gè)陰冷的夜晚，帕克渡過(guò)俄亥俄河，找到了十個(gè)喪魂落魄的逃亡者?！澳煤冒易撸彼贿叿愿浪麄?，一邊帶著這八男二女朝河邊走去。就要到岸時(shí)，一個(gè)巡夜人發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們，急忙跑開去報(bào)

52、告。 9 Parker saw a small boat and, with a shout, pushed the escaping slaves into it. There was room for all but two. As the boat slid across the river, Parker watched helplessly as the pursuers closed in around the men he was forced to leave behind. 帕克看見(jiàn)一條小船，便大喝一聲，把那些逃亡黑奴推上了船。大家都上了船，但有兩個(gè)人容不下。小船徐徐駛向?qū)Π?/p>

53、，帕克眼睜睜地看著追捕者把他被迫留下的兩個(gè)男人圍住。 10 The others made it to the Ohio shore, where Parker hurriedly arranged for a wagon to take them to the next "station" on the Underground Railroad - the first leg of their journey to safety in Canada. Over the course of his life, John Parker guided more than 400

54、 slaves to safety. 其他的人都上了岸，帕克急忙安排了一輛車把他們帶到地下鐵路的下一“站”他們走向安全的加拿大之旅的第一程。約翰·帕克在有生之年一共帶領(lǐng)400多名黑奴走向安全之地。 11 While black conductors were often motivated by their own painful experiences, whites were commonly driven by religious convictions. Levi Coffin, a Quaker raised in North Carolina, explained, &q

55、uot;The Bible, in bidding us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, said nothing about color." 黑人去當(dāng)乘務(wù)員常常是由于本人痛苦的經(jīng)歷，而那些白人則往往是受了宗教信仰的感召。在北卡羅來(lái)納州長(zhǎng)大的貴格會(huì)教徒利瓦伊·科芬解釋說(shuō)：“圣經(jīng)上只是要我們給饑者以食物，無(wú)衣者以衣衫，但沒(méi)提到過(guò)膚色的事?！?12 In the 1820s Coffin moved west to Newport (now Fountain City), Indiana, where he opened a s

56、tore. Word spread that fleeing slaves could always find refuge at the Coffin home. At times he sheltered as many as 17 fugitives at once, and he kept a team and wagon ready to convey them on the next leg of their journey. Eventually three principal routes converged at the Coffin house, which came to
