Romantic love is one of the most enticing topics around. Just about every movie, TV show, and country-music song contains some element of romance. For many, romantic relationships are by far the most important in their lives.
浪漫的爱情是最迷人的一个话题。几乎所有的电影，电视节目，音乐和乡村音乐歌曲包含一些爱情元素。对许多人来说，浪漫关系是迄今为止在他们的生活中最重要的。
As a society, we long for intimacy. We grow up believing that if we "just meet the right person" we will be happy. This message is popularized by modern media. It is perhaps one of the most destructive messages around. Quentin Crisp says: "The consuming desire of most human beings is to deliberately plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature ..."
作为一个社会，我们长期的亲密。我们相信如果我们“仅仅满足人的权利”，我们会很高兴的。这个消息是由现代媒体推广。这也许是最具破坏性的消息。昆廷说：“脆的大多数人的消费欲望是故意的种植他们的整个生活在另一个人的手。我会形容这种方法寻找幸福是不成熟的……”
When we feel unhappy it is natural to start searching for the cause of our distress. There is nothing wrong with this, but it becomes a problem when we start searching outside of ourselves. We are taught that
当我们不开心的时候很自然地开始寻找我们的痛苦的原因。这没有错，但它成为一个问题，当我们开始搜索以外的自己。我们都知道
if we are happily "coupled" we won't have problems. It is therefore natural to blame our partner for our "aloneness." The consequences of this belief are enormously self-destructive.
如果我们是快乐的“耦合”我们不会有问题。责怪我们的“孤独的伙伴是很自然的。”这一信念的后果是巨大的自我毁灭。
Romantic love is exciting, but what happens when the romance wears off? Experts estimate that romantic sexual attractions last only 18 months to two years. Using love or sex as a drug will only prevent us from
reaching maturity. We do need excitement and stimulation and joy and intimacy. But in mature love we are concerned with our loved one's joy and fulfillment. The satisfaction comes not from our own immediate gratification, but from the joy of giving to the other person, and watching them grow and thrive.
浪漫的爱情是令人兴奋的，但是当爱情消失？专家估计，浪漫的性吸引力，最后只有18个月到两年。用爱和性作为药物只会阻止我们达到成熟。我们需要兴奋和刺激、欢乐和亲密。但在成熟的爱，我们关心的是我们所爱的人的快乐和满足感。满足不是来自我们自己的即时满足，但给人的快乐，看着他们成长。
If you are single, the best thing you can do to prepare for a life-long loving relationship is to work on getting your own needs met. The first thing to do is to start identifying what they are. For instance: you long for affection and need a hug. Have you thought of asking a friend to hug you? You will be amazed what will happen if you start asking people directly to meet your needs.
如果你是单身，你可以准备一个终身的爱的关系的最好的事情就是做你所需要的。要做的第一件事是开始确定它们是什么。例如：你长的感情和需要一个拥抱。你问一个朋友拥抱你的想法吗？你会惊讶，如果你开始问人们直接去满足你的需求会发生什么。
You will get some negative responses, but for the most part you will find that people are happy to help you.
你会得到一些消极的反应，但大部分你会发现人们很乐意帮助你。
Many of us were taught our needs are wrong. Our needs are not wrong. We get into difficulty when we try to meet our needs in indirect ways. It is not that we shouldn't enjoy the excitement of a new relationship or love interest; we get into difficulty when we think we will get all our needs met from this one "magical" person.
我们中的许多人被教导我们的需要是错的。我们需要的是没有错的。我们遇到困难时，我们尽量满足我们的需要，以间接的方式。这并不是说我们不应该享受新的关系或爱的兴趣的兴奋；我们遇到困难时，我们认为我们会得到所有满足我们的需要从这一“神奇”的人。

Passage 2
Born black in a land where white people were powerful and respected, born female in a land where decisions were masculine (男子的),
I had been afraid of the life of poverty and despair. In the prime of my youth, whenever I thought about growing old, I always carried a profound belief that I wouldn't live past the age of 28. Tears would fill my eyes and bathe my face when I thought of dying before my son became an adolescent.
出世在一地的白人的强大的和受尊敬的黑人，出世在一地的决定是男性化的女性（男子的），我一直害怕贫困和绝望的生活。在我的青春，每当我想到变老，我总是带着这一信念我不会活过28岁。眼泪溢满了我的眼眶，洗我的脸时，我想在我的儿子成为一个青少年死亡。
I was thirty-six before I realized I had lived years beyond my deadline and needed to revise my thinking about an early death. I would live to see my son an adult and myself at the half-century mark. With that realization life turned sweeter. Old acquaintances became friendships, and new acquaintances showed themselves more interesting. I did not live in undue absorption in the bygone loves burdened with disappointments and betrayals. I found new loves were coming.
我三十六岁之前，我意识到我已经超出我的期限和需要来改变我对早期死亡的思考。我会活着看到我的儿子长大成人，我在半个世纪的标记。实现了与生活的甜蜜。老熟人了友谊，和新朋友显示自己更有趣。我没有活在过去的过度吸收爱背负着失望和背叛。我找到新的爱来了。
I decided I would consent to living to an old age. White strands of hair would emerge near my temple (太阳穴). I would speak more slowly, choosing my words just like an elder stateswoman. My clothes would gradually become more distinguished-looking: gray suits and elegant dresses. And while I would refuse to wear old ladies' comforts, I would give away the three-inch-high heels that had given me the advantage of being taller than nearly everyone else in the world. And I would choose good shoes with medium heels. I would keep company with other old women who would be equally prettily dressed, and I would always have an elegant, well-dressed man holding my arm.
我决定我会同意生活。头发白股将出现在我的殿（太阳穴）。我会说得更慢一些，选择我的话就像一个年长的政治家。我的衣服会逐渐变得更加气宇轩昂的：灰色西装和优雅的礼服。而我会拒绝穿老女人的安
慰，我会把三英寸高的高跟鞋，给了我是几乎比世界上其他人高的优势。我会选择好的鞋中鞋。我会和其他人一样打扮得漂漂亮亮的老女人作伴，我总是有一个优雅，穿着得体的男人牵着我的手。
Those were my plans. But at sixty my body which had never displayed a mind of its own, turned uncontrollable, stubborn and disloyal. My face became wrinkled, the skin on my thighs turned lumpy (粗糙的) and my waist thickened. I began to be overwhelmed with doubt and pessimism.
这些是我的计划。但在六十我的身体从来没有显示出自己的心，把不可控的，顽固的不忠。我的脸变得皱巴巴的，在我大腿上的皮肤变成块状（粗糙的）和我的腰粗。我开始被怀疑和悲观。
But now, as I walk slowly nearer to my seventieth year, my optimism has returned. My appetites have also returned. True, I can't eat fried chicken with potato salad and then head for bed. I eat smaller portions earlier and try to take a short walk. A smooth Scotch whisky still causes me to smile, and a decent wine is received with gratitude. What I have learned so far about aging, despite the old bones and the wrinkles of one's once-silken skin, is this: do it. By all means, do it.
但现在，我慢慢地靠近我第七十年，我的乐观主义的回归。我的胃口也恢复了。真的，我不能吃炸八块鸡土豆沙拉，然后睡觉。我吃小份的早期尝试散步。一个光滑的苏格兰威士忌仍然使我的笑容，和一个体面的葡萄酒感谢着领受。我学会了到目前为止老化有什么，尽管老骨头和一个曾经皮肤细嫩，皱纹是这样的：这样做。通过一切手段，去做。

Passage 2.1
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
我们通常可以通过一个人他读的书和他所处的环境；为有一个同伴的书籍以及男子；一个人应该生活在百思特公司，无论是书还是人。
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling (抚慰) us in age.
一本好书是最好的朋友。它永远都是相同的今天，它永远不会改变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉快的同伴。它不会背弃我们在逆境或困境。它总是给予我们同样的仁慈；有趣和指导我们的青年，并安慰和安慰我们的年龄（抚慰）。
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each for a book - just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both have for a third. There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
人们常常发现彼此都为一本书-正如两个人有时会发现一个朋友既已为三分之一赞美爱情。有一个古老的谚语，“爱我的，爱我的狗。”但有更多的智慧在这：“爱我，爱我的书”。这本书是一个真实的和更高的债券联盟。人能思考，感觉，和彼此同情通过他们最喜爱的作者。他们生活在一起，他在其中。
"The poet's verse (诗句)," said Hazlitt, "slides in the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books."
“诗人的诗句（诗句），”说，“在我们的血液，高谈阔论，当前幻灯片。
我们读他们年轻的时候，我们记住他们老的时候。我们认为它已经发生在我们自己。他们都是很便宜的，好的。我们呼吸的是书的空气。”
A good book is often the best urn (瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. "They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts."
一本好书常常是最好的容器（瓮）的生活最好的体现，生命可以想到了；一个人的生活的世界，最重要的一部分，但他的思想的世界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言，黄金的想法，其中，铭记于心，就成为我们忠实的伴侣和慰藉。”他们是永远不会孤单的，”菲利普说西德尼，“有高尚思想。”
Books bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
书籍把我们带到了有史以来最伟大的心灵的存在。我们听到他们在说什么；我们看见他们，如果他们真的还活着；我们同情他们，享受他们，与他们悲痛；他们的经验成为我们的，我们觉得如果我们，在衡量，演员与他们所描述的场景。
The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed (保存) in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
伟大杰出的人物在这世间也不会消逝。防腐（保存）的书籍，他们的精神走到国外。这本书是活着的声音。它是一种智力仍然听。因此，我们永远都是伟人的影响下。世界的皇家智力是一样活着，像以前。

According to Darwin's theory of the evolution of the species, we are a competitive species and one survives by adapting itself biologically to diverse environments through diverse ways. Competition was a resource useful for the progress of society and for the survival of human beings.
根据达尔文的物种的进化理论，我们是一个竞争性的物种和一个生存的适应不同的环境，通过多样的生物。竞争是有用的为社会进步和人类赖以生存的资源。
Today, however, the challenges are different. The 21st century is a computer science age, but there are environmental imbalance, deaths of thousands of children every day by starvation and countless epidemics (流行病). Therefore, it is urgent that the philosophy of preparing our children for competition and power be replaced by one of preparing them for love and cooperation.
今天，然而，面临的挑战是不同的。第二十一世纪是计算机科学的一个时代，但也有环境失衡，死亡的每一天有成千上万的儿童因饥饿和无数的流行病（流行病）。因此，它是迫切的理念，我们的孩子准备的竞争和电力是由一个准备他们的爱和合作取代。
The earth is a unique home to us all. The ecological (生态的) balance has to be pursued and this pursuit reflects the internal balance of each living being. We must educate our children so that they want to preserve nature and thus to preserve the opportunity to render themselves more powerful and capable in society. Our children have to learn that we don't need to practice actions that benefit only our homeland while all other countries are destroyed. The destruction of other countries and lives leads to the impossibility of the future existence of the place we call home. It imbalances the eco-system and shades the hope of a better future. We must teach our children that the main necessity of men and children is love. Love is good to ourselves, others and nature. But it is getting harder to love or to donate something good to another. We are not capable of
demonstrating hate to a flower, grabbing it and throwing it at the floor and stepping on it. It sounds insane! But we are insensitive to the extent of seeing a homeless person thrown there on the ground and pretending it's not our problem! Our exaggerated competition has led us to total insensibility!
地球是我们唯一的家。生态平衡（生态的）已被追求，这种追求体现了每个生命的内在平衡。我们要教育我们的孩子，他们要保护自然，从而保持机会使自己在社会中更强大的能力。我们的孩子们的学习，我们不需要实际行动，只有我们的家园而受益的其他所有国家都毁了。其他国家和生活的破坏导致了我们称之为家乡的未来存在的不可能性。它不平衡的生态系统和色调的一个更好的未来的希望。我们要教育我们的孩子，男人和儿童的主要需求是爱。好的爱情是自己的，人与自然。但这是爱或捐赠的东西对别人好难。我们不能够显示恨一朵花，抓住它，把它扔在地板上，踩到它。这听起来很疯狂！但是我们要看到一个无家可归的人扔在地上，假装这不是我们的问题的程度不敏感！我们夸大竞争LED我们总不在乎！

Why I Love the City 我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。“另一个朋友抱怨交通:“有太多的汽车市区!你不能找到一个停车的地方,交通堵塞的情况都很可怕。“每个人都在抱怨关于犯罪:“城市有许多罪犯。我很少离开我的房子”的幻影却如太危险了。 在我朋友搬离城市,他们通常会背诵优势郊区生活:绿草、花卉、游泳池、烤肉等等。然而在我的朋友们在那里住了一年左右的时间里,他们意识到郊区生活就不那么愉快,因为他们期待。这种变化的原因是什么?他们的花园!他们很快了解到,一个不可避免的一部分yardwork郊区生活。他们整个周末都在工作在他们的花园,它们是非常累的一把,又要取他们的水池游泳甚至做一些肉放在他们的烤肉。又有另一个投诉:他们不能住在郊区没有一辆车。我的大多数朋友都搬到郊区,避开塞车,但现在他们不得不上班市中心。他们坐在一个繁忙的公路每天两个小时! 我的意见是非常不同的城市生活,从我朋友的我住在市区吗?和我爱它! ! !为什么?嗯,首先,我喜欢nature-flowers、绿草、树木和动物。在这个城市里,我有一切优势自然:我可以步行通过公共公园,闻闻花香,坐在草地上在树下。我可以参观,动物园里的动物。然而到目前为止我还没有一个缺点:我不需要做yardwork或喂动物。同时,在这个城市,到处都可以让我乘公共汽车吗?如果有交通堵塞,我可以走回去。 似乎每个人都搬到郊区,避免罪恶的大城市。我有一个理论的城市犯罪的,然而,所以我觉得安全罪犯将反映在社会生活的变化:如果人们买了房子在郊区,罪犯将步其后尘。罪犯想避免噪音、烟雾、污染了。不久,过于拥挤和犯罪的问题,而不是城市郊区!

【1】Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $$2 (plus drinks) per session-care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’or‘people think’,”Lehane told them. “Say‘I think,’‘Think me’.” 【2】A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle- longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening. 32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope? A. Learn a new subject B.

P e t s There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better.

There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets.

1 Romantic love is one of the most enticing topics around. Just about every movie, TV show, and country-music song contains some element of romance. For many, romantic relationships are by far the most important in their lives. 浪漫的爱情是最迷人的一个话题。几乎所有的电影，电视节目，音乐和乡村音乐歌曲包含一些爱情元素。对许多人来说，浪漫关系是迄今为止在他们的生活中最重要的。 As a society, we long for intimacy. We grow up believing that if we "just meet the right person" we will be happy. This message is popularized by modern media. It is perhaps one of the most destructive messages around. Quentin Crisp says: "The consuming desire of most human beings is to deliberately plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature ..." 作为一个社会，我们长期的亲密。我们相信如果我们“仅仅满足人的权利”，我们会很高兴的。这个消息是由现代媒体推广。这也许是最具破坏性的消息。昆廷说：“脆的大多数人的消费欲望是故意的种植他们的整个生活在另一个人的手。我会形容这种方法寻找幸福是不成熟的……” When we feel unhappy it is natural to start searching for the cause of our distress. There is nothing wrong with this, but it becomes a problem when we start searching outside of ourselves. We are taught that 当我们不开心的时候很自然地开始寻找我们的痛苦的原因。这没有错，但它成为一个问题，当我们开始搜索以外的自己。我们都知道 if we are happily "coupled" we won't have problems. It is therefore natural to blame our partner for our "aloneness." The consequences of this belief are enormously self-destructive. 如果我们是快乐的“耦合”我们不会有问题。责怪我们的“孤独的伙伴是很自然的。”这一信念的后果是巨大的自我毁灭。 Romantic love is exciting, but what happens when the romance wears off? Experts estimate that romantic sexual attractions last only 18 months to two years. Using love or sex as a drug will only prevent us from
新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history.

In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community.

A MISTAKEN RAPTURE A little woman was killed after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eyewitnesses. 13 other people were injured after a 20-car
pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw 12 people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.
"She started screaming, 'He's back, He's back' and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped,"
Passage1 Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader. 读领导文学，你有时会认为每个人都有可能成为一个有效的领导者。 I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who arc sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities. 我不相信这是真的。事实上，我认为真正有效的领导者的方式比我看到的人都陷在领导的职位上，遗憾的是他们自己的能力不称职，严重误导了他们。 Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to（追求）leadership in the first place. 对产生这种现象的原因一部分是由那些渴望缺乏诚实的自我评估（追求）放在首位的领导 We've all met the type of individual who simply must take charge. Whether it's a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can't help grabbing the lead dog position and clinging on to it for dear life. They believe they're natural born leaders. 我们都遇到了个人的类型，他们必须负责。无论是决策会议，篮球比赛，还是家庭外出，他们都不能不抓住领导的狗的地位，并紧紧抓住它，因为亲爱的生命。他们相信他们是天生的领袖。 Truth is, they're nothing of the sort. True leaders don't assume that it's their divine（神圣的）right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite. A great leader will assess each situation on its merits, and will only take charge when their position, the situation, and/or the needs of the moment demand it. 事实是，他们没有什么样的。真正的领导者不认为这是他们的神圣（神圣的）负责每次两个或两个以上的人在一起吧。恰恰相反。一个伟大的领导者会对每一个情况进行评估，并在他们的位置、情况和/或需要的情况下，只会负责。 Many business executives confuse leadership with action. They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct. Faced with any situation that can’t be solved by the sheer force of activity, they generate a dust cloud of impatience.

2016年英语考研真题及答案 Par`t A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 1 France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for woman. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that” incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting. Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up with impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starring themselves to health –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it move take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape –measure they must use to determine their individual worth. The bans, if fully enforced ,would suggest to woman (and many men )that they should not let others be orbiters of their beauty .And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to sine zero or wasp-waist physiques . The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mess could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison. The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standard for models and fashion images there rely more on pear pressure for enforcement. In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding age, health, and other characteristics of

Unit 1 Johnny the Explorer 约翰尼探险家 Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address. 当约翰尼第一次离家出走时,他只有 3岁。有些人的花园门口敞开着。约翰尼越过这些地段就漫步出去了,接着 2个小时后,他到了下一个村子。他只能说出他的名字和地址。 By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... " "Of course not," Johnny replied. "Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them. 等到他 7岁的以后,约翰尼经常离家出走,一年内有两到三次。有时他步行到很远的地方。其他时候,他通常坐公共汽车或甚至坐火车外出,并朴素地坐在里面直到有人来买票。通常警察来带他回家。“为什么你要离家出走?” 警察们问他,“你在家里是幸福的,不是吗? .... ”“当然不是不幸福,”约翰尼回答道。“那是为什么呢?”“我只是喜欢外出探险, ”约翰尼告诉他们。 Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.
