外教社新时代研究生学术英语综合教程2学生用书The world we live in is a vast and complex tapestry woven with the threads of countless stories each one unique and worthy of exploration. Yet amidst this grand tapestry, there are moments, experiences, and perspectives that defy easy categorization or simple labels. It is in these spaces, these None moments, that we find the true essence of the human condition.In a society that often values the tangible, the measurable, and the easily defined, the concept of None can be a challenging one to grasp. It is the absence of something, the void that exists between the known and the unknown, the space where our preconceptions and assumptions are challenged. And yet it is within this very space that we find the opportunity to truly see, to truly understand, and to truly connect with the world around us.Consider the moment of silence that follows a profound loss, the stillness that settles in the aftermath of a profound realization, or the quiet contemplation that emerges when we find ourselves in the presence of something truly awe-inspiring. In these None moments,we are stripped of the distractions and the noise that so often fill our lives, and we are left with the raw, unfiltered essence of the human experience.It is in these moments that we are forced to confront the deepest questions of our existence, the ones that defy easy answers and demand a level of introspection and self-reflection that can be both daunting and transformative. What is the meaning of life? What is the nature of consciousness? How do we find purpose and fulfillment in a world that can often feel cold and indifferent?These are the questions that haunt us, that drive us, and that ultimately shape the course of our lives. And it is in the None moments, the spaces between the noise and the chaos, that we have the opportunity to grapple with these questions and to find the answers that resonate most deeply within us.But the None moments are not just about the profound and the existential. They are also about the simple, the mundane, and the everyday. It is in the quiet moments of contemplation, the uninterrupted stretches of time where we are free to let our minds wander and our thoughts flow, that we find the space to truly appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us.It is in these None moments that we can marvel at the intricatepatterns of a snowflake, the gentle sway of a tree branch in the breeze, or the subtle interplay of light and shadow that dances across a wall. It is in these moments that we can truly connect with the natural world, to feel a sense of belonging and interconnectedness that transcends the boundaries of our own individual existence.And it is in these None moments that we can also find the space to connect with one another, to truly see and be seen, to share in the common experiences that bind us together as human beings. It is in the silences between the words, the pauses in the conversation, that we can glimpse the deeper truths that lie within each of us, the vulnerabilities and the fears, the hopes and the dreams that make us who we are.In a world that is increasingly fast-paced, hyper-connected, and filled with distractions, the None moments have become increasingly rare and precious. They are the oases of calm in a sea of chaos, the moments of clarity in a world that can often feel overwhelming and confusing.And yet it is in these None moments that we find the greatest opportunities for growth, for self-discovery, and for true connection. It is in these spaces that we can let go of the masks and the facades that we so often wear and embrace the raw, authentic essence of ourown being.So let us embrace the None moments, the spaces between the noise and the chaos, and let them guide us on a journey of self-discovery and understanding. Let us use these moments to connect with the world around us, to find meaning and purpose in the simple and the profound, and to deepen our connections with one another. For it is in these None moments that we can truly find the essence of what it means to be human.。

Lesson1 Book 2 Pub Talk and the King's EnglishKey to Exercises in the TextbookⅢ Paraphrase1. And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2. Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view. In a conversation we should not try to establish the force of an idea or argument.3. In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4. People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other‟s lives．5. The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong．6. These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields; but when we sit down at the table to eat, we call their meat beef．7. The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers．8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more．9. The phrase, the King‟s English, has always been used disparagingly and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people．10. There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class．11. There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.Ⅳ Practice with Words and ExpressionsA.1. on the rocks: in or into a condition of ruin or catastrophe2. get out of bed on the wrong side: to be cross or in a bad temper for the day3. on wings: flying or while flying; in motion or while moving or traveling4. turn up one‟s nose at: sneer at, scorn5. in another‟s shoes: in another‟s position6. come into one‟s own: to receive what properly belongs to one, especially acclaim or recognition 7．sit up at: to become suddenly alertC.1. No one knows how the conversation will go as it moves aimlessly and desultorily or as it becomes spirited and exciting.2. It is not a matter of interest if they are cross or in a bad temper.3. Bar friends, although they met each other frequently, did not delve into each other's lives or the recesses of their thoughts and feelings.4. Suddenly a miraculous change in the conversation took place.5. The conversation suddenly became spirited and exciting.6. The Elizabethan writers spread the English language far and wide.7. I have always had an eager interest in dictionaries.8. Even the most educated and literate people use non-standard, informal, colloquial English in their conversation.9. Otherwise one will tie up the conversation and will not let it go on freely.10. We would never have talked about Australia, or the language barrier in the time of the Norman Conquest.Words and Expressionsintricate (adj) : hard to follow or understand because full of puzzling parts，details，or relationships错综复杂的；难以理解的，难懂的indulge (v.) : give way to one‟s own desire尽情享受；从事于meander (v.) : wander aimlessly or idly；ramble漫步；闲逛conversationalist (n.) : a person who converses；esp．，one who enjoys and is skilled at conversation交谈者；(尤指)健谈者anecdote (n.) : a short，entertaining account of some happening，usually personal or biographical 轶事，逸事intimate (n.) : a close friend or companion密友，知己on the rocks[colloq．] : in or into a condition of ruin or catastrophe (婚姻)破坏的；失败的musketeer (n.) : (formerly)a soldier armed with a musket火枪手delve (v.) : investigate for information；search发掘；调查(研究)recess (n.) : a secluded，withdrawn，or inner place幽深处desultorily (adv.) : aimlessly；at random随意地；无目的地alchemy (n.) : an early form of chemistry，whose chief aims were to change baser metals into gold：a method or power of transmutation; esp. the seemingly miraculous change of a thing into something better炼金术；变化物质的方法或魔力tart (adj.) : sharp in taste；sour；acid辛辣的；尖酸的；刻薄的convict (n.) : a person found guilty of a crime and sentenced by a court罪犯churl (n.) : a farm laborer；peasant农民；庄稼人，乡下人rift (n.) : an open break in a previously friendly relationship分裂；失和scamper (v.) : run or go hurriedly or quickly急驰，快跑rendering (n.) : a translation翻译bilingual (adj.) : of，in or using two languages(用)两种语言的intercept (v.) : seize or stop on the way, before arrival at the intended place拦截；截断；截击abuse (v.) : use wrongly; use insulting, coarse or bad language; scold harshly滥用；辱骂，口出恶言coin (v.) : make up; devise; invent(a new word, phrase, etc. )编造；杜撰(新词、新短语等) tussle (v.) : fight，struggle，contend，etc．vigorously or vehemently斗争，搏斗；竞争dandelion (n.) : any of several plants of the composite family，common lawn weeds with jagged leaves，often used as greens，and yellow flowers蒲公英(属)pejorative (adj.) : disparaging or derogatory轻蔑的；贬低的facetious (adj.) : joking or trying to be jocular，esp．at an inappropriate time滑稽的；诙谐的；(尤指在不适当的时候)开玩笑的underling (n.) : a person in a subordinate position；inferior disparaging(通常作蔑词)下属；edict (n.) : an official public proclamation or order issued by authority；decree法令；命令；布告immune (adj.) : exempt from or protected against something disagreeable or harmful不受影响的；可避免的ultimatum (n.) : a final offer or demand，esp．by one of the parties engaged in negotiations，the rejection of which usually leads to a break in relations and unilateral action，the use of force etc．by the party issuing the ultimatum最后通牒chimpanzee (n.) anthropoid ape of Africa，with black hair and large，outstanding ears(非洲)黑猩猩make a point: explain fully what one is proposing充分解释例： All fight，you‟ve made your point；now keep quiet and let the others say what they think．好啦，你已经把话说清楚了；那就别说了，让别人谈谈看法。
