个人&世界
像我这种类型的人，其发展的转折点在于，自己的主要兴趣逐渐远远的摆脱了短暂的和仅仅作为个人的方面，而转向从思想上去掌握事物。从思想上去把握这个个人以外的世界，总是作为一种有意或无意的意识浮现在我的眼前。－爱因斯坦
外语是个人通向世界的桥梁；语言则是把握世界的个人思想的载体。－so_so

A Day in the Life of a Typical American White Collar Worker
Situation 1 Getting Up in the Morning
(The alarm clock rings.)
Catherine: Honey, it's seven o'clock. Time to get up.
James: Okay, just a few more minutes.
Catherine: No. You told me to make sure you were up by seven.
James: I know but I can sleep till seven-thirty if I don't take a shower.
Catherine: James, you know that's impossible. You have a meeting with your boss and later with an important client.
James: Christ, I almost forgot. That's what happens when I don't get enough sleep.
Catherine: Enough sleep? You went to bed at ten. That's nine hours.
James: Do you have to be right all the time? But you are right; I'm getting up.
Catherine: Jump in the shower, that will make you feel better. And I'll make a pot of strong coffee, but what do you want for breakfast?
James: Something simple. How about a bagel and cream cheese.
Catherine: No problem. It'll be ready before you are.
James: Don't be so sure.
Catherine: Why wouldn't I be? You haven't beaten me yet.
James: True. But there's a first time for everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 2 Breakfast
James: Ah... The coffee smells great. Is that bagel ready? I'm starving.
Catherine: It's ready just like it always is and just like I told you it would be.
James: What would I do without you? You're the best. (Takes a sip of coffee.) And this coffee is pretty good, too.
Catherine: We both know you just like me for my cooking.
James: That's not so. In fact, I'm the one who made dinner of the last two nights.
Catherine: Oh yeah. I guess that means it's my turn tonight.
James: Only if you want to. I don't mind cooking once a day, especially when the weather is nice / and I can barbecue.
Catherine: Okay, but let's get back to breakfast; can I get you anything else?
James: A little more coffee would [will] be great, with a little more sugar in it this time, please.
Catherine: Sure. Do you want another bagel or some fruit?
James: No, thanks. I'm just not that hungry in the morning. You know that.
Catherine: I know, but I was reading in a magazine that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
James: I've heard that too, but I just can't force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.
Catherine: Why don't I pack you a snack for later in the morning? You could eat it around ten when you get hungry.
James: That's a great idea. I always regret not eating breakfast right at ten o'clock.
Catherine: What shall I make?
James: How about a beer?
Catherine: James, be serious.
James: Okay, how about an apple and some cheese?
Catherine: That's better. Just give me a minute to get it packed.
James: Take your time. I'm still early.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 3 Driving to Work
Catherine: Here it is James. Now get going, I don't want you to be late.
James: Thanks, dear. I'll be home a little late tonight. Remember the client.
Catherine: Okay, but call if you are going to be home after ten.
James: I will. Bye.
Catherine: Bye.
(James gets in the car and leaves for work. He turns on the news.)
News: ...and there was an accident on highway 99. A truck turned over blocking westbound traffic for about two miles. Drivers on highway 99 west might want to take local road to work this morning. The current time is seven forty-three on this sunny morning, and the temperature is seventy-six degrees. The weather forecast for late today is mostly sunny, with some clouds forming in the afternoon and a slight chance of showers in the early evening. We'll keep you updated with more traffic and weather throughout the day, but now let's enjoy forty-five minutes of commercial-free rock and roll.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 4 The Gas Station
James: Damn, I'm almost out of gas.
(James pulls into a gas station.)
Attendant: What can I do for you?
James: Fill it up with unleaded, please. And can you check the oil, too?
Attendant: Sure, pal.
(He opens the hood and checks the oil.)
Attendant: You're about a quart low, shall I put a quart in for you?
James: Please.
Attendant: You know, you could really use a new set of tires. The ones you have are badly worn. I could do that for you right now; it wouldn't take more than thirty minutes.
James: And the price?
Attendant: Well... that depends on how good a set of tires you want.
James: No. I'm late for work anyway. I'll just take the gas and oil today. How much will that be?
Attendant: Let's see. Forteen for the gas / and two-fifty for the oil / makes sisteen dollars and fifty cents.
James: Do you take credit cards?
Attendant: Only Visa and Master Card, not American Express.
James: Fine, here's my Visa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 5 Arriving at Work
Steve: Good morning, James. You're early. What's up?
James: Morning, Steve. Early is right. I've got two important meetings today; one with the boss and one with a client. You're pretty early yourself, something important?
Steve: Yeah, I'm meeting a client, too. Someone from a big computer company.
I think their headquarters are in Taiwan, but this guy runs the New York office.
James: Wang Computers. That's my client, too. But I think the owner is a Chinese-American; I'm not sure if they even have an office in TaiWan. I guess we're working on this account together.
Steve: Good. To tell you the truth / I was a little scared. The account is really big; it's just too much work for one man. Say, what time do you meet with the boss, Mr. Barnes?
James: Ten-thirty, Why?
Steve: I was right. We are on this account together. I'm scheduled to meet with Mr. Barnes at ten-thirty, too.
James: Well then, partner, let's get busy preparing something for the meeting. Steve: Good idea. Where should we begin?
James: I don't know about you / but I always begin big projects by going to the bathroom, and then with a hot cup of coffee. Can you wait for me?
Steve: Just hurry. I'll get the coffee ready.
James: That sounds like an excellent plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 6 Planning for the Meeting
James: I'm back.
Steve: Here is your coffee. You feeling better?
James: I feel like a Champ. Where should we begin?
Steve: As always, it's best to begin at the beginning. What have you prepared for your meeting with Wang?
James: Basically, I just have an outline of a presentation of our company's new software. I think our product is high quality and that the people from Wang will realize that once they hear a description of it.
Steve: Well James, that is a little too simple. We know the product is good, but we have to convince them of that too. Luckily, I put together a vedio presentation
on my notebook computer using our software. If they like the presentation, and I am confident they will, then that automatically means that they like our company's product.
James: Steve, that's why you are at the top of sales. You think of everything in advance. I'm really just a computer software engineer; I can make this stuff but I can't sell it.
Steve: Of course you can't. That's why Mr. Barnes put us together. I'll take care of selling the software, and you can answer any tough technical question that the people from Wang might ask. I'm as bad at science as you are at sales.
James: Steve, you're too modest. You're great at sales, but I know you know something about computers too. I still remember when we first started working here; you taught me a thing or two about Apple Macintosh computers.
Steve: Sure I know about Macs, but that's just because I used one all through college. Plus, any dummy can use a Mac.
James: I couldn't.
Steve: Not at first. But after about three days, you were already better than me.
James: Okay, okay. So I'm a computer nerd.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 7 The Secretary
Steve: I'll call my secretary and have her make copies of your outline.
James: Are you sure that's okay? I mean, she doesn't really work for me. What if she gets angry.
Steve: No problem. She works for me, and you and I are working on this project together. Watch and learn. (Steve picks up the phone.) Lisa, could you come in here please?
Lisa: I can but I won't. It's only eight fifty-five and I don't start work until nine o'clock.
James: Well, Steve, I guess she knows who's the boss.
Steve: Very funny. We'll just have to wait for five minutes, That's all.
James: Whatever you say.
(At two minutes after nine o'clock.)
Steve: Lisa, do you think you could come in here now?
Lisa: Of course, Mr. Dawson; I'll be right in. (Lisa comes into the office.) What do you need, sir?
Steve: Could you make Mr. Goddard here about twenty copies of his outline.
Lisa: Why, doesn't he have a secretary?
Steve: (A little angry.) Of course he does, but we're working on a project together and I would really appreciate it if you would just cooperate with me right now.
Lisa: All right, all right. You don't have to get mad. Did you say ten or twenty copies?
James: Actually, ten will be fine. It's a small group today.
Steve: But I said twenty, so make it twenty.
Lisa: Yes, sir, Mr. Dawson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 8 Meeting the Boss
(Mr. Barnes calls Steve on the intraoffice phone)
Mr. Barnes: Dawson?
Steve: Yes, this is he.
Mr. Barnes: Contact Goddard and come up to my office immediately. I want to [wanna] go over today's meeting in advance.
Steve: Mr. Goddard is with me now; we'll come up right away. (Steve to James.) Well, that was the old man; It's show time. And he sounds a little nervous, which means we have to be even more careful.
James: I'll be extremely careful. I just don't want him to yell at me again. I'm an engineer, not a secretary.
Steve: Be careful. Lisa might hear you. Anyway, let's go.
(Steve and James go up to Mr. Barnes' office and his secretary sends them in. They knock on the door.)
Mr. Barnes: Come in.
James: Good morning, sir.
Steve: Good morning, Mr. Barnes. How are you?
Mr. Barnes: I'll be a lot better after this meeting is over. I hope you two have done your homework / because this is a huge deal. If we can convince Wang / about our company / then larger computer firms will follow. I don't have to tell either of you that could mean millions of dollars. I'm counting on you.
Steve: Don't worry, Mr. Barnes. Sir, you can depend on us. Isn't that [Is not] right, James?
James: Yes, I think, I mean of course you can.
Mr. Barnes: I had better be able to. And if you two do / a good job, I won't forget it when it comes time for promotions either. I put you on this assignment / because you are my two best men; I know you won't disappoint me. Well, let's hear about your ideas for the presentation. Goddard, would you like to start?
James: I think it might be best to let Mr. Dawson begin; he is the expert at sales.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 9 Going to Lunch
Steve: Wow, that went pretty well. Mr. Barnes was easy today.
James: Easy on you maybe. I don't think he likes me.
Steve: Don't be ridiculous. He likes you, but he's a businessman like me / and so I know how to talk to him.
James: I'm not so sure.
Steve: Well, I'm sure that I'm hungry. Why don't we continue talking over lunch?
James: That sounds great; I'm starving.
(They walk outside the building to a restaurant.)
Steve: Do you like Italian food? This place is terrific.
James: Like it? I love it. Let's go in.
(They sit down and look at the menu for a while, then the waitress comes.)
Steve: What are your specials today?
Waitress: Today we have roasted lamb and vegetable lasagna, I highly recommend the lasagna.
James: The lasagna sounds good; I'll have that.
Waitress: And you, sir?
Steve: No. No vegetables for me. I want some meat. I'll try the lamb, please.
Waitress: Also an excellent choice. Would you care for anything to [the] drink?
Steve: Yes, I'll have a double martini.
James: Steve, what about the meeting?
Steve: Oh. Yes. Better make that / a mineral water.
James: I'll have some lemonade, please. And could you bring us some bread to start.
Waitress: Of course, I'll be right back with that.
James: I like this place. They have really good service.
Steve: Just follow me and you won't go wrong.
James: Not with restaurants, at least.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 10 The Meeting
Steve: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Today my colleague, Mr. Goddard and I will be introducing you to a revolutionary new software program. It combines all the functions of various other programs -- word processing, translating, financial management, graphic design / and more -- into one. I will be leading the first part
of the presentation, while Mr. Goddard will be answering technical questions at the end.
Mr. Wang: I have a question from the beginning.
Steve: Yes. Please go ahead.
Mr. Wang: I'm wondering about the price of your program. In other words, will it be cheaper to buy your product, or / should we just buy all {of} the others separately?
Steve: I'm glad you asked that question, Mr. Wang. I was going to save this part until the end of the meeting, but since you asked / I will tell you. Our program is on average forty percent less expensive than it would be to buy the programs it replaces separately.
Mr. Wang: And what about after-service and upgrades?
Steve: All our products are guaranteed for one year. As for upgrades, they will also be free for one year and can be downloaded / from the internet.
Mr. Wang: I am also curious about compatibility with Apple computers. Do you have a separate product for Apple or...?
Steve: Perhaps my colleague should answer that, as it is more on the techinal side.
James: Mr. Wang, I developed this product to work on both PC's and Macs. I assume your company is mainly interested in the PC version, but I assure you Mac users will have no problems with our product either.
Mr. Wang: That's what I was afraid of. I want Mac users to have problems. Otherwise / they'll keep buying from Apple / and not / from my company.
Steve: I apologize, sir, but I cannot help you with that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 11 With a Co-Worker
Larry: Steve, James, how did the presentation go?
Steve: Don't ask.
James: Oh, it wasn't that bad. Steve did really well; I think they are sold.
Steve: They were until you told them that we were making the same product for
their competitors. You never tell them that.
James: I am sorry, but I cannot lie just to make a sale. Maybe that's why I'm terrible at sales.
Steve: Yeah, that's right. From now on you just stick to designing and programming, and leave the selling to me.
Larry: Don't be too hard on him, Steve. Mr. Wang might appreciate his honesty. Even if you have lied to him, he's a smart guy, especially when it comes to computers, and he probably would have known anyway. Now he knows you guys and our company are honest; we'll just see what happens.
James: True. And besides, Apple is really a tiny company when compared to all these PC giants. I don't think Mr. Wang feels threatened by them.
Steve: I am sure we'll know soon enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 12 Backing the Boss's Office
Mr. Barnes: (Seeming quite upset) I hope you two know what you have done.
James: I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes. It was all my fault. Steve was doing just fine until I opened my big mouth. I take full responsibility.
Steve: Yes, sir. I told him to keep quiet about that Mac stuff / and just let me do the talking.
Mr. Barnes: Is that so?
James: Yes, sir.
Mr. Barnes: (Now seeming quite happy) Well, that's interesting since Mr. Wang has [is] just signed a contract to order fifty-thousand units. Good job, Goddard. He said he was impressed both by your technical knowledge / and your honesty. As for you Dawson, we'll talk tomorrow; right now, I'm too happy to think about anything negative.
Steve: But, Mr. Barnes, sir.
Mr. Barnes: That will be all.
James: Come on, Steve. You can only make it worse by talking now. Good-bye, Mr. Barnes, and thank you.
Mr. Barnes: No, thank you, Goddard. You did a fine job today. This company needs more men like you. We may be talking about a promotion soon. Now get out {of} here.
James/Steve: Yes, sir. Good-bye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 13 In the Parking Lot
Steve: James, wait. I really want to say I'm sorry for my behavior before.
James: Don't mention it.
Steve: No, really, I did a rotten thing back there and I just wanted to apologize.
James: Forget about it. You are under a lot of pressure over the last few weeks, I know how important this project was to you.
Steve: Yeah, but it was important to you too, and I shouldn't have turned on you like that.
James: Well, you may have a chance to make it up to me.
Steve: How?
James: If I become vice president I'll need my own good men to work for me.
Steve: Would you do that for me?
James: Of course I would. I've seen you work, and you're very talented. Even today you were much better prepared than I was, I just got lucky.
Steve: It wasn't all luck. You have so much more technical knowledge than I do, and you're not afraid to tell the truth.
James: Exactly, and that's why, like today, we make a good team. I'd hate to lose you and I know the company would too.
Steve: I'm not so sure about that after hearing Mr. Barnes today.
James: That's nonsense. He just tried to scare you. And besides, if he's so happy with my performance, he'll have to listen when I tell him you're one of the best men at his company.
Steve: I hope you're right.
James: You know I'm right. Would you like something [some] to drink?
Steve: Not only would I like it, I need it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 14 In a Bar
Bartender: What can I get for you / gentlemen tonight?
James: I'd like a gin and tonic, please.
Steve: Make mine a double scotch, straight up.
Bartender: Did you have a rough day?
Steve: I don't want to [wanna] talk about it? but let's just say you should keep the bottle close at hand.
Bartender: [Now] I understand.
James: Hey, where's my gin and tonic?
Bartender: Okay, okey. Just give me a second here.
(Bartender goes to make the drinks.)
Steve: Man, I just wanted to apologize again for...
James: (Cutting Steve off.) Stop. We're at a bar now, not at the office, and I don't want to talk about work. I said it was okay and I meant it. If it's really still bothering you we can talk about it on Monday.
Steve: You are right. I'll shut up now.
Bartender: (Returning with a drink in each hand.) Here's a gin and tonic for you, and a double scotch, straight up, for my friend who had the hard day. I hope this helps.
Steve: You know it will. James, a toast to your coming promotion.
James: No, you are getting ahead of yourself. First, let's drink to our successful deal today. Cheers.
(They touch glasses.)
Steve: Cheers, to a good day's work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 15 Back at Home
Catherine: Wow, you're home early. It's only eight forty-five.
James: Yeah, it was a strange day at the office.
Catherine: Why? Did your presentation go poorly?
James: No. Nothing like that. In fact, it went really well. It's just that I had some trouble with a colleague.
Catherine: Who?
James: Do you remember Steve Dawson?
Catherine: Let me think. Didn't I meet him at the Christmas party?
James: Yes. That's him.
Catherine: That's right [fine]. I told you to be careful when working with him. He seems so aggressive. What did he do?
James: Oh, nothing really. I just thought we were supposed to be working together, but he seemed to be working against me.
Catherine: I told you to watch out for him. I remember I said...
James: (Cutting her off.) Yes, you told me. But I don't want to [wanna] talk about it now. Tomorrow is Saturday and I just want to [wanna] rest. Besides, we haven't had much time together either. How was your day?
Catherine: The same as always. I like teaching but sometimes the children are so wild.
James: But they love you and need you, just like me.
Catherine: Oh, stop. And, anyway, I don't want to [wanna] talk about my day either. Have you eaten?
James: Not since lunch. You?
Catherine: I was waiting for you. I thought you might be home early.
James: Great. What do you want?
Catherine: Let's order some Chinese food. I feel like staying at home and watching a vedio.
James: Perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 16 Getting up in the Morning
(The alarm goes off but James is already up.)
James: Catherine, are you going to sleep all day or do I get some breakfast?
Catherine: Ah... What are you doing up so early? You never get up before me!
James: I'm so excited about the deal with Wang yesterday / that I'm actually looking forward to going to work.
Catherine: James honey, It is so nice to see you happy about your job. I know how long you have been waiting for some recognition from your boss. And look, now your honesty and hard work are paying off.
James: Well, are you just going to lie in bed? Why don't you make some eggs, toast and coffee while I take a shower?
Catherine: All right, all right, I'm getting up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 17 Breakfast
Catherine: Are two eggs going to be enough?
James: Plenty [Pleny]. I wouldn't mind another cup of coffee, though.
Catherine: You should eat a little more. It looks like you are going to have a big day at the office.
James: You may be right. But I can't really think of food right now, I've got too many other things on my mind.
Catherine: I just don't want you to run out of energy today.
James: Don't worry. I'll stop off on the way to the office at Dunkin Donuts and pick up a few donuts in case I get hungry between now and lunch.
Catherine: Oh, James! Donuts? Why don't you eat a more nutritious breakfast? You are not a college kid anymore.
James: You're right, but the fact is I love donuts; always have, always will. Well, I should get going. I want to get to the office a little early today, I have to figure out a way to smooth things out between Steve and Mr. Barnes.
Catherine: Okay, honey. Have a good day. Ah... What time will you be home?
James: I have a feeling Mr. Barnes is planning to take us out to dinner tonight to celebrate yesterday's deal.
Catherine: Would it do any good for me to ask you not to drink too much at the dinner tonight?
James: Probably not.
Catherine: Hn... I didn't think so, but you know I had to ask anyway.
James: Don't worry honey. If I drink tonight I'll take a texi home.
Catherine: Okay. Have a good day. I'll see you tonight.
James: See you tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 18 At Dunkin Donuts
(James enters Dunkin Donuts.)
Clerk: Good morning. Welcome to Dunkin Donuts.
James: Good morning. Are the donuts fresh this morning?
Clerk: Yes sir, we made them about an hour ago.
James: Good. In that case I'd better pick up a few for the rest of guys at the office. Do you have a special if I order more than a dozen?
Clerk: As a matter of fact, we are having a September special. For every dozen donuts you order we'll give you a thirteenth donut free.
James: In that case, give me a dozen chocolate and a dozen jelly filled?
Clerk: Yes sir, here you are. Will that be all?
James: Also, would you fill my thermos up with coffee? We have a coffee machine at the office, but it's not as good as your coffee.
Clerk: There you are, sir. Two dozen donuts / and one thermos of coffee. That will be six dollars and seventy-five cents.
James: All I have is a fifty dollar bill. Can you make change this early in the morning?
Clerk: No problem. Here is your change. Have a nice day.
James: Thanks. You too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 19 At the Office
(When James arrives at the office his secretary is already there.)
James: Good morning, Stacy.
Stacy: Good morning, Mr. Goddard. Mr. Barnes asked to see as soon as you got in.
James: Did he say what it is about?
Stacy: No, but he said to ask you to come up to his office as soon as you arrive.
I assume it's about the Wang account.
James: I'm sure you are right. Thank you, Stacy. By the way, I brought some donuts. Feel free to help yourself.
Stacy: Mr. Goddard! You know I'm trying to watch my weight.
James: I forgot. Anyway, why don't you put them out so everyone in the office can help themselves.
Stacy: What's the special occasion? I don't recall you ever bringing donuts for everyone before.
James: Let's just say that I'm in a good mood today. Well, I'd better get up to Mr. Barnes' office. Wish me luck.
Stacy: Good luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 20 Mr. Barnes' Office
(James knocks on Mr. Barnes' door and enters his office.)
James: You asked for me, sir?
Mr. Barnes: Ah, Goddard. Good, come right in. Listen, I want to ask your opinion about a few things. First, let me tell you again how pleased I am at the way you handled the Wang account. As you know this is a huge account / and it's going to require its own management team.
James: Thank you, sir.
Mr. Barnes: Wang computers wants us to not only develop a new set of software for the new operating system we are designing for them, but they also wants us to develop new marketing strategies for this system. Something similar to what Apple did with their new line of Macintosh computers. That was a brilliant marketing idea to build the processor right into the monitor. And you know how successful they were in developing great advertising for their new products.
James: Yes sir. Apple was able to regain their share of the market with the combination of a great product and good advertising.
Mr. Barnes: Well, Goddard. I need the team that can do the same thing for us and Wang computers. I am thinking of making you the man in charge of putting this team together and managing it. Do you think you could handle an assignment like that?
James: Do you mean that I could choose my own team?
Mr. Barnes: With my approval of course.
James: Yes sir. I think with the right people working with me, that I can make the most of our partnership with Wang computers.
Mr. Barnes: Good. That's what I wanted to hear. I am promoting you to the Executive Director in charge of the Wang account. Now, you are going to need a good assistant. Do you have anyone in mind?
James: Yes sir, I do. Steve Dawson.
Mr. Barnes: Dawson!? From what I saw at the meeting yesterday, he didn't seem to
be a team player. He was looking out for his own interest.
James: Well, yes. It did seem that way, but there are a few things you should know about Steve Dawson, sir. First, he has been with the company much longer than I have without a promotion / and the Wang account was his big chance. That is why he was so aggressive. Second, when I came into the company, there were so many things that I didn't know. Steve was never selfish with his time and he taught me a lot. Third, I think if he is given a chance, he can develop a great advertising package for the new system we are developing for our partnership with Wang computers. Last but not least, Steve and I really work well together.
Mr. Barnes: I must say, I am impressed with your loyalty. All right then, I want you to take Dawson to lunch today / and inform him of his promotion / to Assistant Executive Director in charge of the Wang deal.
James: Thank you, sir. I can assure you that you won't regret your decision.
Mr. Barnes: All right, Goddard. That's all. You can go.
James: Yes, sir.
Mr. Barnes: Oh, Goddard, one more thing.
James: Sir?
Mr. Barnes: You can put the lunch bill on your new executive expense account.
James: Yes, sir!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 21 James' Office
James: Stacy, would you get Steve Dawson on the line for me, please?
Stacy: Right away, Mr. Goddard. (Dials Steve's extension) Mr. Dawson, this is Mr. Goddard's office, please hold for Mr. Goddard.
James: (Speaking on the phone) Good morning Steve, how's it going?
Steve: James! Yeah... I'm okay. How are you?
James: I'm doing pretty well this morning. But you don't sound so good. Is something wrong?
Steve: Well, it's just that I've been worrying all night about what happened
yesterday. I still feel terrible about the way I acted in the meeting.
James: Listen, I told you last night to forget about it.
Steve: I know you did. But I can't get over it so easily. I really feel like I let you down yesterday.
James: Look, do you have any plans for lunch today?
Steve: Nothing special, why?
James: Then why don't you let me buy you lunch today?
Steve: Actually, I feel like I should buy you lunch.
James: No, today lunch will be on me. Should we meet at twelve o'clock, then?
Steve: All right, I'll see you at noon.
James: See you then, Bye.
Steve: Bye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Situation 22 At the Restaurant
Steve: Wow, this is a really expensive place. Are you sure you want to eat here? Why don't we just go get a couple of sandwiches?
James: Don't worry about that.
(The waitress greets them.)
Waitress: Good afternoon. How many people today?
James: Just the two of us.
Waitress: Would you like a booth?
James: That will be fine, thank you.

英美文学专业开题报告 引导语：各民族的文学中都有许多惊险、恐怖的故事,但似乎没有哪一种文学像英美文学那样不仅创作出数量众多、质量优秀的恐怖文学作品,而且还形成了一个持续发展、影响广泛的哥特传统。以下 是的为大家找到的英美文学专业开题报告。希望能够帮助到大家! 论文题目theApplicationandInnovation 一、选题的意义和研究现状 1.选题的目的、理论意义和现实意义长时期以来,人们视艾米莉?勃朗特为英国文学中的“斯芬克斯”。关于她本人和她的作品都有很多难解之谜,许多评论家从不同的角度、采用不同的方法去研究,得出了不同的结论,因而往往是旧谜刚解,新谜又出,解谜热潮似永无休止。 本文立足于欧美文学中的哥特传统研究《呼啸山庄》的创作源泉,指出艾米莉?勃朗特在主题、人物形象、环境刻画、意象及情节构造等方面都借鉴了哥特传统,同时凭借其超乎寻常的想象力,将现实 与超现实融为一体,给陈旧的形式注入了激烈情感、心理深度和新鲜 活力,达到了哥特形式与激情内容的完美统一,使《呼啸山庄》既超越了哥特体裁的“黑色浪漫主义”,又超越了维多利亚时代的“现实主义”,从而展现出独具一格、经久不衰的艺术魅力。 2.与选题相关的国内外研究和发展概况 各民族的文学中都有许多惊险、恐怖的故事,但似乎没有哪一种文学像英美文学那样不仅创作出数量众多、质量优秀的恐怖文学作品,而且还形成了一个持续发展、影响广泛的哥特传统
(Gothictradition)。哥特文学现在已经成为英美文学研究中的一个重要领域。对哥特文学的认真研究开始于20世纪二三十年代,到70年代以后,由于新的学术思潮和文学批评观念的影响,该研究出现了前所未有而且日趋高涨的热潮。 根据在国际互联网上的搜索,到2000年9月为止,英美等国的学者除发表了大量关于哥特文学的论文外,还至少出版专著达184部,其中1970年以后为126部,仅90年代就达59部,几乎占总数的三分之一。当然,近年来哥特文学研究的状况不仅在于研究成果迅速增加,更重要的是它在深度和广度方面都大为拓展,并且把哥特传统同英美乃至欧洲的历史、社会、文化和文学的总体发展结合起来。 二、研究方案 1.研究的基本内容及预期的结果(大纲)研究的基本内容:本文立足于欧美文学中的哥特传统研究《呼啸山庄》的创作源泉,指出艾米莉?勃朗特在主题、人物形象、环境刻画、意象及情节构造等方面都借鉴了哥特传统,同时凭借其超乎寻常的想象力,将现实与超现实融为一体,给陈旧的形式注入了激烈情感、心理深度和新鲜活力,达到了哥特形式与激情内容的完美统一,使《呼啸山庄》既超越了哥特体裁的“黑色浪漫主义”,又超越了维多利亚时代的“现实主义”,从而展现出独具一格、经久不衰的艺术魅力。 预期的结果(大纲): 1.ASurveyofGothic1.1DefinitionofGothic 1.2theOriginofGothicNovels
教育资料 《短歌行》 《短歌行》赏析(林庚) 曹操这一首《短歌行》是建安时代杰出的名作，它代表着人生的两面，一方面是人生的忧患，一方面是人生的欢乐。而所谓两面也就是人生的全面。整个的人生中自然含有一个生活的态度，这就具体地表现在成为《楚辞》与《诗经》传统的产儿。它一方面不失为《楚辞》中永恒的追求，一方面不失为一个平实的生活表现，因而也就为建安诗坛铺平了道路。 这首诗从“对酒当歌，人生几何”到“但为君故，沉吟至今”，充分表现着《楚辞》里的哀怨。一方面是人生的无常，一方面是永恒的渴望。而“呦呦鹿鸣”以下四句却是尽情的欢乐。你不晓得何以由哀怨这一端忽然会走到欢乐那一端去，转折得天衣无缝，仿佛本来就该是这么一回事似的。这才是真正的人生的感受。这一段如是，下一段也如是。“明明如月，何时可掇?忧从中来，不可断绝。越陌度阡，枉用相存。契阔谈宴，心念旧恩。月明星稀，乌鹊南飞。绕树三匝，何枝可依。”缠绵的情调，把你又带回更深的哀怨中去。但“山不厌高，海不厌深”，终于走入“周公吐哺，天下归心”的结论。上下两段是一个章法，但是你并不觉得重复，你只觉得卷在悲哀与欢乐的旋涡中，不知道什么时候悲哀没有了，变成欢乐，也不知道什么时候欢乐没有了，又变成悲哀，这岂不是一个整个的人生吗?把整个的人生表现在一个刹那的感觉上，又都归于一个最实在的生活上。“我有嘉宾，鼓瑟吹笙”，不正是当时的情景吗?“周公吐哺，天下归心”，不正是当时的信心吗? “青青子衿”到“鼓瑟吹笙”两段连贯之妙，古今无二。《诗经》中现成的句法一变而有了《楚辞》的精神，全在“沉吟至今”的点窜，那是“青青子衿”的更深的解释，《诗经》与《楚辞》因此才有了更深的默契，从《楚辞》又回到《诗经》，这样与《鹿鸣》之诗乃打成一片，这是一个完满的行程，也便是人生旅程的意义。“月明星稀”何以会变成“山不厌高，海不厌深”?几乎更不可解。莫非由于“明月出天山”，“海上生明月”吗?古辞说：“枯桑知天风，海水知天寒”，枯桑何以知天风，因为它高；海水何以知天寒，因为它深。唐人诗“一叶落知天下秋”，我们对于宇宙万有正应该有一个“知”字。然则既然是山，岂可不高?既然是海，岂可不深呢?“并刀如水，吴盐胜雪”，既是刀，就应该雪亮；既是盐，就应该雪白，那么就不必问山与海了。 山海之情，成为漫漫旅程的归宿，这不但是乌鹊南飞，且成为人生的思慕。山既尽其高，海既尽其深。人在其中乃有一颗赤子的心。孟子主尽性，因此养成他浩然之气。天下所以归心，我们乃不觉得是一个夸张。 .

如果大家想要了解一些广告词，那么下面内容可以帮助到各位哦!首先一起来看看以下经典广告台词这篇文章，希望对大家有所帮助哦! 十大经典电视广告词 1：在中国有句让人耳熟能详的广告语宝洁公司，优质产品。 惊喜从肌肤开始里面却没有承诺，更多的是造梦，让女性自己去体会改变的开始。 玉兰油定位为百姓化产品，最实际的就是把握好了价格和渠道，通过贵族产品平民化的主张坚实建筑着女性魅力王国。而玉兰油的文化突出表现在亲切和简单亲切贴近生活，简单贴近百姓。雅俗共赏。 玉兰油永远是一道美丽的风景。 2：没有女人不珍爱钻石，正如同没有女人不渴望爱情。 钻石恒久远，一颗永流传(The Diamond is Forever)，全球最大的钻石供应商和零售商戴比尔斯的这句经典广告语让无数的中国人认识了钻石，也懂得了钻石能够代表忠贞不渝的爱情。 3：爱生活爱拉芳这句广告语家喻户晓，男女老幼耳熟能详，也是被篡改和引用得最多的。 拉芳从字面上是美丽、芳香、柔和的意思。读音简单，且富有韵律感，易读易记，易于传播，念一遍就不会忘记。拉芳与生活息息相关。拉芳可以是你的爱人，可以是你的某个美好愿望，也可以是你想要的某种生活。 拉芳，永远是快乐，是希望。 4 想要皮肤好早晚用大宝。相比之下，男人用它比较常见。
作为最早引进男性化妆品概念的公司，大宝平易近人的爱心文化已经深入人心。作为北京市民政局下属的一家福利单位，大宝的聋哑人职工占生产一线比例51%，占公司整体职工35%以上。安置一个人、救活一条命、解脱一家人、安定一大片可谓大宝爱心文化的真实写照。以消费者的立场，民族企业的立场，爱心回馈社会的立场，大宝还在夹缝中生存。 自强不息的大宝有自己的独特气质，就象一个稳健执着朴实诚恳的父亲。 大宝明天见，大宝天天见~ 5：血气充足才健康,补血 认准九芝堂。手暖脚暖睡得香，浑身有劲血气旺，面色红润万人迷!九芝堂驴胶补血颗粒，别买错了! 邓婕，高秀敏，李湘。三个年龄段的女人同场演绎的一段闹剧。一如以往的做作。 美女们精神旺盛，高秀敏搓手又跺脚，邓婕摆出拳击姿势说：浑身有劲血气旺，李湘一边害羞的说：面色红润万人迷，一边扮少女娇嗔状, 观者无不印象深刻捧腹大笑。 贵州青酒卖风情，金六福卖福，椰岛鹿龟酒卖孝心，泻利停、万通筋骨片卖赵本山的幽默，奔驰汽车卖尊贵、可口可乐卖美国文化等，这些都是产品的精神。而九芝堂驴胶补血颗粒想必卖的是风骚吧? 一个词，哗众取宠。 6：今年过节不收礼，收礼只收脑白金。 说实话，脑白金的广告土的掉渣，见面就说今年过节不收礼，收礼只收脑白金，不停的出现在你面前晃啊晃，反复播放轰炸眼球，让全国人民都烦，然后让你记住脑白金，也不管你是否恶心。有不少朋友曾经问过：脑白金到底是什么?熊答：是栋烂尾楼。脑白金到底是什么?是小小的瓶子，大大的肥皂泡。 广告做到这一步，只觉得已经有些无厘头的味道了。

曹操《短歌行【对酒当歌】》原文、翻译、赏析译文 原文 面对美酒应该高歌，人生短促日月如梭。对酒当歌，人生几何？ 好比晨露转瞬即逝，失去的时日实在太多！譬如朝露，去日苦多。 席上歌声激昂慷慨，忧郁长久填满心窝。慨当以慷，忧思难忘。 靠什么来排解忧闷？唯有狂饮方可解脱。何以解忧？唯有杜康。 那穿着青领（周代学士的服装）的学子哟，你们令我朝夕思慕。青青子衿，悠悠我心。 正是因为你们的缘故，我一直低唱着《子衿》歌。但为君故，沉吟至今。 阳光下鹿群呦呦欢鸣，悠然自得啃食在绿坡。呦呦鹿鸣，食野之苹。 一旦四方贤才光临舍下，我将奏瑟吹笙宴请宾客。我有嘉宾，鼓瑟吹笙。 当空悬挂的皓月哟，你运转着，永不停止；明明如月，何时可掇？ 我久蓄于怀的忧愤哟，突然喷涌而出汇成长河。忧从中来，不可断绝。 远方宾客踏着田间小路，一个个屈驾前来探望我。越陌度阡，枉用相存。 彼此久别重逢谈心宴饮，争着将往日的情谊诉说。契阔谈讌，心念旧恩。 明月升起，星星闪烁，一群寻巢乌鹊向南飞去。月明星稀，乌鹊南飞。 绕树飞了三周却没敛绕树三匝，何枝
翅，哪里才有它们栖身之 所？ 可依？ 高山不辞土石才见巍 峨，大海不弃涓流才见壮阔。（比喻用人要“唯才是举”，多多益善。）山不厌高，水不厌深。 只有像周公那样礼待贤 才（周公见到贤才，吐出口 中正在咀嚼的食物，马上接 待。《史记》载周公自谓： “一沐三握发，一饭三吐哺， 犹恐失天下之贤。”），才 能使天下人心都归向我。 周公吐哺，天 赏析 曹操是汉末杰出的政治家、军事家和文学家，他雅好诗章，好作乐府歌辞，今存诗22首，全是乐府诗。曹操的乐府诗多描写他本人的政治主张和统一天下的雄心壮志。如他的《短歌行》，充分表达了诗人求贤若渴以及统一天下的壮志。 《短歌行》是政治性很强的诗作，主要是为曹操当时所实行的政治路线和政策策略服务的，但是作者将政治内容和意义完全熔铸在浓郁的抒情意境之中，全诗充分发挥了诗歌创作的特长，准确而巧妙地运用了比兴手法，寓理于情，以情感人。诗歌无论在思想内容还是在艺术上都取得了极高的成就，语言质朴，立意深远，气势充沛。这首带有建安时代"志深比长""梗概多气"的时代特色的《短歌行》，读后不觉思接千载，荡气回肠，受到强烈的感染。 对酒当歌，人生几何？ 譬如朝露，去日苦多。 慨当以慷，幽思难忘。 何以解忧，唯有杜康。 青青子衿，悠悠我心。 但为君故，沈吟至今。 呦呦鹿鸣，食野之苹。 我有嘉宾，鼓瑟吹笙。 明明如月，何时可掇？ 忧从中来，不可断绝。 越陌度阡，枉用相存。 契阔谈，心念旧恩。 月明星稀，乌鹊南飞， 绕树三匝，何枝可依？ 山不厌高，海不厌深， 周公吐哺，天下归心。 《短歌行》是汉乐府的旧题，属于《相和歌?平调曲》。这就是说它本来是一个乐曲的名称，这种乐曲怎么唱法，现在当然是不知道了。但乐府《相和歌?平调曲》中除了《短歌行》还有《长歌行》，唐代吴兢《乐府古题要解》引证古诗“长歌正激烈”，魏文帝曹丕《燕歌行》“短歌微吟不能长”和晋代傅玄《艳歌行》“咄来长歌续短歌”等句，认为“长歌”、“短

奋斗了，才有出路 ——读《鲁宾逊漂游记》有感小说《鲁宾逊漂游记》一直深受人们的喜爱。读完这篇小说，使我对人生应该有自己的一个奋斗历程而受益匪浅。当一个人已经处于绝境的时候，还能够满怀信心的去面对和挑战生活，实在是一种可贵的精神。他使我认识到，人无论何时何地，不管遇到多大的困难，都不能被困难所吓倒，我们要勇敢的面对困难，克服困难，始终保持一种积极向上、乐观的心态去面对。在当今社会只有努力去奋斗，才会有自己的出路！ 其实现在的很多人都是那些遇到困难就退缩，不敢勇敢的去面对它。不仅如此，现在很多人都是独生子女，很多家长视子女为掌上明珠，不要说是冒险了，就连小小的家务活也不让孩子做，天天总是说：“我的小宝贝啊，你读好书就行了，其它的爸爸妈妈做就可以了。”读书固然重要，但生活中的小事也不能忽略。想一想，在荒无人烟的孤岛上，如果你连家务活都不会做，你能在那里生存吗？读完这部著作后，我不禁反问自己：“如果我像书中的鲁宾逊那样在大海遭到风暴，我能向他那样与风暴搏斗，最后逃离荒岛得救吗？恐怕我早已经被大海所淹没；如果我漂流到孤岛，能活几天？我又能干些什么？我会劈柴吗？会打猎做饭吗？我连洗洗自己的衣服还笨手笨脚的。”我们应该学习鲁宾逊这种不怕困难的精神，无论何时何地都有坚持地活下去，哪怕只有一线希望也要坚持到底，决不能放弃！我们要像鲁宾
逊那样有志气、有毅力、爱劳动，凭自己的双手创造财富，创造奇迹，取得最后的胜利。这样的例子在我们的生活中屡见不鲜。 《史记》的作者司马迁含冤入狱，可它依然在狱中完成《史记》一书，他之所以能完成此书，靠的也是他心中那顽强的毅力，永不放弃的不断努力的精神。著名作家爱迪生从小就生活在一个贫困的家庭中，可是他从小就表现出了科学方面的天赋。长大后爱迪生着力于电灯的发明与研究，他经过了九百多次的失败，可它依然没有放弃，不断努力，最后终于在第一千次实验中取得了成功。 鲁宾逊在岛上生活了二十八年，他面对了各种各样的困难和挫折，克服了许多常人无法想象的困难，自己动手，丰衣足食，以惊人的毅力，顽强的活了下来。他自从大船失事后，找了一些木材，在岛上盖了一间房屋，为防止野兽，还在房子周围打了木桩，来到荒岛，面对着的首要的就是吃的问题，船上的东西吃完以后，鲁宾逊开始打猎，有时可能会饿肚子，一是他决定播种，几年后他终于可以吃到自己的劳动成果，其实学习也是这样，也有这样一个循序渐进的过程，现在的社会，竞争无处不在，我们要懂得只有付出才会有收获，要勇于付出，在战胜困难的同时不断取得好成绩。要知道只有付出，才会有收获。鲁宾逊在失败后总结教训，终于成果；磨粮食没有石磨，他就用木头代替；没有筛子，就用围巾。鲁宾逊在荒岛上解决了自己的生存难题，面对人生挫折，鲁宾逊的所作所为充分显示了他坚毅的性格和顽强的精神。同样我们在学习上也可以做一些创新，养成一种创新精神，把鲁宾逊在荒岛，不畏艰险，不怕失败挫折，艰苦奋斗的精
2020《利刃破冰》观看体会_《利刃破冰》观后感范文5篇 《利刃破冰》根据福建公安边防部队真实事件改编，出品方表示，《利刃破冰》旨在向全国奋斗在一线的公安边防战士所作出的贡献表示崇高的敬意。下面是小编为大家带来的《利刃破冰》观后感，希望能帮到大家! 《利刃破冰》观后感 《利刃破冰》是一部缉毒片，由真实案件改编，剧情讲述福建某公安边防部队不惜一切代价坚决打击毒枭的故事，境外毒枭旺乌和差猜两兄弟联合国内不法分子制造并贩毒，刑侦队长林浩然(张子健饰)带领边防支队将旺乌击毙，然后差猜(柏华力莫高彼斯彻饰)却逃脱了，在逃亡中，还丧心病狂杀害了警方安插的卧底，因此林浩然发誓，不管天涯海角都要抓到或干掉他。张子健将演绎铁血警察誓死追凶，又现新时代燕双鹰。 此片可看性不止只有张子健一位，还有很多实力派老戏骨，如参演过《征服》、《黑冰》、《暗算》、《战狼》的石兆琪。还有参加过《风云》、《宫锁心玉》、《步步惊心》、《延禧攻
略》金牌配角沈保平。还有“晴格格”王艳，《红海行动》中饰演张天德(绰号石头)的王雨甜，都是实力派演员。 《利刃破冰》定档的消息发布后，网友最感兴趣的还是主角张子健，大致分为三派，一派是认可张子健的网友，对他这部戏非常期待。另一派是反对的网友，认为张子健已被“册封”神剧演员，他的戏必定是神剧，没什么看头。更多的一派为“调侃派”，主要是拿张子健的经典“神台词”开涮，例如“缉毒出动燕双鹰了，一定要让毒贩看见自己的脑浆!”“这点小事就出动燕双鹰了?不是说好的，敌不动核，我不动鹰吗?” 《利刃破冰》观看心得 自从抗日神剧满天飞后，网友给这些神剧评出了“四大神剧演员”，分别为张子健、于震、王新军和王挺。不过，在这四个神剧演员中，张子健是最特别的一位，他算是最先“神”起来的演员，早在20xx年就凭借《英雄》燕双鹰一角开始神化，加上后来《猎鹰1949》、《孤岛飞鹰》、《津门飞鹰》等一系列燕双鹰形象，无可争议地获得神剧演员之首的地位。 虽然张子健算是国内神剧鼻祖，但是怪就怪在他的神剧还是有很多人喜欢看的，撇开剧情不讲，张子健对燕双鹰这个角色还是塑造得非常到位，受到很多人喜欢也就不奇怪了。其实，张子健不仅燕双鹰这个角色能“神”起来，他演的很多角色都能“神”起来，如《神探狄仁杰》系列中的李元芳，也是大家非常熟悉的，

Chapter III WEE QUESTION OF FORTUNE--FOUR-FIFTY A WEEK Once across the river and into the wholesale district, she glanced about her for some likely door at which to apply. As she contemplated the wide windows and imposing signs, she became conscious of being gazed upon and understood for what she was--a wage-seeker. She had never done this thing before, and lacked courage. To avoid a certain indefinable shame she felt at being caught spying about for a position, she quickened her steps and assumed an air of indifference supposedly common to one upon an errand. In this way she passed many manufacturing and wholesale houses without once glancing in. At last, after several blocks of walking, she felt that this would not do, and began to look about again, though without relaxing her pace. A little way on she saw a great door which, for some reason, attracted her attention. It was ornamented by a small brass sign, and seemed to be the entrance to a vast hive of six or seven floors. "Perhaps," she thought, "They may want some one," and crossed over to enter. When she came within a score of feet of the desired goal, she saw through the window a young man in a grey checked suit. That he had anything to do with the concern, she could not tell, but because he happened to be looking in her direction her weakening heart misgave her and she hurried by, too overcome with shame to enter. Over the way stood a great six- story structure, labelled Storm and King, which she viewed with rising hope. It was a wholesale dry goods concern and employed women. She could see them moving about now and then upon the upper floors. This place she decided to enter, no matter what. She crossed over and walked directly toward the entrance. As she did so, two men came out and paused in the door. A telegraph messenger in blue dashed past her and up the few steps that led to the entrance and disappeared. Several pedestrians out of the hurrying throng which filled the sidewalks passed about her as she paused, hesitating. She looked helplessly around, and then, seeing herself observed, retreated. It was too difficult a task. She could not go past them. So severe a defeat told sadly upon her nerves. Her feet carried her mechanically forward, every foot of her progress being a satisfactory portion of a flight which she gladly made. Block after block passed by. Upon streetlamps at the various corners she read names such as Madison, Monroe, La Salle, Clark, Dearborn, State, and still she went, her feet beginning to tire upon the broad stone flagging. She was pleased in part that the streets were bright and clean. The morning sun, shining down with steadily increasing warmth, made the shady side of the streets pleasantly cool. She looked at the blue sky overhead with more realisation of its charm than had ever come to her before. Her cowardice began to trouble her in a way. She turned back, resolving to hunt up Storm and King and enter. On the way, she encountered a great wholesale shoe company, through the broad plate windows of which she saw an enclosed executive
曹操《短歌行》其二翻译及赏析 引导语：曹操(155—220)，字孟德，小名阿瞒，《短歌行 二首》 是曹操以乐府古题创作的两首诗， 第一首诗表达了作者求贤若渴的心 态，第二首诗主要是曹操向内外臣僚及天下表明心迹。 短歌行 其二 曹操 周西伯昌，怀此圣德。 三分天下，而有其二。 修奉贡献，臣节不隆。 崇侯谗之，是以拘系。 后见赦原，赐之斧钺，得使征伐。 为仲尼所称，达及德行， 犹奉事殷，论叙其美。 齐桓之功，为霸之首。 九合诸侯，一匡天下。 一匡天下，不以兵车。 正而不谲，其德传称。 孔子所叹，并称夷吾，民受其恩。 赐与庙胙，命无下拜。 小白不敢尔，天威在颜咫尺。 晋文亦霸，躬奉天王。 受赐圭瓒，钜鬯彤弓， 卢弓矢千，虎贲三百人。 威服诸侯，师之所尊。 八方闻之，名亚齐桓。 翻译 姬昌受封为西伯，具有神智和美德。殷朝土地为三份，他有其中两分。 整治贡品来进奉，不失臣子的职责。只因为崇侯进谗言，而受冤拘禁。 后因为送礼而赦免， 受赐斧钺征伐的权利。 他被孔丘称赞， 品德高尚地位显。 始终臣服殷朝帝王，美名后世流传遍。齐桓公拥周建立功业，存亡继绝为霸 首。
聚合诸侯捍卫中原，匡正天下功业千秋。号令诸侯以匡周室，主要靠的不是 武力。 行为磊落不欺诈，美德流传于身后。孔子赞美齐桓公，也称赞管仲。 百姓深受恩惠，天子赐肉与桓公，命其无拜来接受。桓公称小白不敢，天子 威严就在咫尺前。 晋文公继承来称霸，亲身尊奉周天王。周天子赏赐丰厚，仪式隆重。 接受玉器和美酒，弓矢武士三百名。晋文公声望镇诸侯，从其风者受尊重。 威名八方全传遍，名声仅次于齐桓公。佯称周王巡狩，招其天子到河阳，因 此大众议论纷纷。 赏析 《短歌行》 (“周西伯昌”)主要是曹操向内外臣僚及天下表明心 迹，当他翦灭群凶之际，功高震主之时，正所谓“君子终日乾乾，夕惕若 厉”者，但东吴孙权却瞅准时机竟上表大说天命而称臣，意在促曹操代汉 而使其失去“挟天子以令诸侯”之号召， 故曹操机敏地认识到“ 是儿欲据吾著炉上郁!”故曹操运筹谋略而赋此《短歌行 ·周西伯 昌》。 西伯姬昌在纣朝三分天下有其二的大好形势下， 犹能奉事殷纣， 故孔子盛称 “周之德， 其可谓至德也已矣。 ”但纣王亲信崇侯虎仍不免在纣王前 还要谗毁文王，并拘系于羑里。曹操举此史实，意在表明自己正在克心效法先圣 西伯姬昌，并肯定他的所作所为，谨慎惕惧，向来无愧于献帝之所赏。 并大谈西伯姬昌、齐桓公、晋文公皆曾受命“专使征伐”。而当 今天下时势与当年的西伯、齐桓、晋文之际颇相类似，天子如命他“专使 征伐”以讨不臣，乃英明之举。但他亦效西伯之德，重齐桓之功，戒晋文 之诈。然故作谦恭之辞耳，又谁知岂无更讨封赏之意乎 ?不然建安十八年(公元 213 年)五月献帝下诏曰《册魏公九锡文》，其文曰“朕闻先王并建明德， 胙之以土，分之以民，崇其宠章，备其礼物，所以藩卫王室、左右厥世也。其在 周成，管、蔡不静，惩难念功，乃使邵康公赐齐太公履，东至于海，西至于河， 南至于穆陵，北至于无棣，五侯九伯，实得征之。 世祚太师，以表东海。爰及襄王，亦有楚人不供王职，又命晋文登为侯伯， 锡以二辂、虎贲、斧钺、禾巨 鬯、弓矢，大启南阳，世作盟主。故周室之不坏， 系二国是赖。”又“今以冀州之河东、河内、魏郡、赵国、中山、常 山，巨鹿、安平、甘陵、平原凡十郡，封君为魏公。锡君玄土，苴以白茅，爰契 尔龟。”又“加君九锡，其敬听朕命。” 观汉献帝下诏《册魏公九锡文》全篇，尽叙其功，以为其功高于伊、周，而 其奖却低于齐、晋，故赐爵赐土，又加九锡，奖励空前。但曹操被奖愈高，心内 愈忧。故曹操在曾早在五十六岁写的《让县自明本志令》中谓“或者人见 孤强盛， 又性不信天命之事， 恐私心相评， 言有不逊之志， 妄相忖度， 每用耿耿。
