下来的是王国的废墟和瓦砾。英国诗人雪莱就描写过“王中之王”瓯子曼迪斯所建造的王国遗留下来的残骸。所以雪莱并未支持过建立乌托邦。5-7段里则提到亚历山大大帝、柏拉图和托马斯·莫尔曾试图建立他们各自心目中的乌托邦。故选C项。）
2) D（第二段开头说：Long before we knew the world was shaped like a globe, the idea of human
unity,… flourished. 即“人类合一”的思想源远流长。第三段开头又说，世界各地的人们都曾祈祷“让我们合为一体，同有一心、一灵、一思想”，但此梦想从来都没有实现。
说明作者在本文中所说的乌托邦梦是世界各国各族人民合一的梦想。故选D项。）
3)B（关于地球村梦想的弊端，文中第8和10段指出：一个人生活的地域和地点给予他生
命意义，传统也与地域息息相关。但今天，网络虚拟世界的兴旺使我们与给予我们幸福感和归属感的地域或地点割裂开来：We draw our sense of well-being and connection from the place we live in, but that sense and those connections are now severed thanks to the Electronic Revolution. 而且，由于工作地点和生活地点不断变化，今天的人们像生活在一个“流亡者的国度”。也就是说，人们面临身份危机，不知道自己属于哪里。作者认为这是地球村梦带来的弊端之一。故选B项。）
4) A （文中第113-116行说：The Electronic Age is returning to oral and tribal culture, abandoned
in the Age of Print. We are being hurled back into the tribal and oral pattern with its seamless
web of kinship and global interdependence – a world in which the electronic extensions of everyone’s nerves involve them in all other people’s lives. 即电子时代使我们回归口头和部落文化，在网络上大家以兴趣为基础建立起“亲属”关系和全球性的相互依赖关系。该句表明，在电子时代人们回到部落文化的意思是，人们在网络上结成一个一个有共同兴趣或话题的群体；而且在网络上，一个人的生活故事或想法会影响到许许多多人。也就是人们在网络上相互依赖的程度增强了。故选A项。）
5) B（课文135-137行说：External intrusion into cultures creates new tensions. Instead of
harmony, we have global tug-of war. 即作者认为，全球化并未使文化差异减少或消失，而使文化之间的对抗加深了。所以选项B所说的“文化差异消失”不是全球化的一个后果。故选B项。）

3. Put the Following into Chinese
1) Even eating, I re ad recently, is giving way to “grazing”—the conscious eating of unidentified
foods while drafting a legal brief, persuading a client on the phone, and, in ambitious cases, doing leg exercises under the desk. (Ll. 45-49)
__________________________________________________________________________ 2) Then there is the economic reality: any woman who doesn’t want to wind up a case study in
the feminization of poverty has to be successful at something more demanding than fingernail maintenance or come-hither looks. Hence all the bustle, my busy friends would explain—they want to succeed. (Ll. 58-63)
__________________________________________________________________________ 3) Any executive who thinks the ultimate in busyness consists of having two important phone
calls on hold and a major deadline in twenty minutes, should try facing six tablefuls of clients simultaneously demanding that you give them their checks, fresh coffee, a baby seat, and a warm, spontaneous smile. (Ll. 95-100)
__________________________________________________________________________ 4) Although busyness does not lead to success, I am willing to believe that success—especially
when visited on the unprepared—can cause busyness. (Ll. 108-110)
__________________________________________________________________________
Key:
1)最近，我在一篇文章上看到，现在甚至连吃饭都变成了“随便吃点什么”——在起草法
律诉状的时候，在打电话说服顾客的时候，有意识地吃一些叫不上名的食物。一些胸怀大志的人甚至边吃边在桌子下面做腿部运动。
(本句翻译的难点在于I read recently和in ambitious cases。前者须加字，后者可另起一句。)
2) 还有经济方面的现实考虑：任何一个不想变成“贫困女性化”典型案例的女人，就必须在某
些方面获得成功，这种成功比保养手指甲或塑造媚惑的外表要难得多。因此，大家都忙得不可开交，我那些忙个不停的朋友都会这样解释：她们渴望成功。
（翻译时可适当加字，注意措辞灵活准确。长句可按中文语序适当拆分。）
3) 如果一个主管经理认为有两个电话等着接，并且在20分钟内必须完成一个重要的工作
就算是忙得不可开交的话，那就让他试试同时应对六桌的客人，这个跟你要帐单，那个跟你要现煮的咖啡，另一个跟你要婴儿坐椅；在做这些事的同时还要保持温馨的、由衷的微笑。
（注意所有动作的主体都是executive。）
4) 尽管忙碌不能带来成功，我还是愿意相信成功—尤其是不期而遇的成功—是让我们忙个不停
的原因。
（译文可以采用原文的句式，但是要注意破折号之间部分的意思。）

Lesson 1 II. Translation Put the following passages into Chinese. 1. For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx. There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh... that their long-term future must be considered... very greatly at risk. 因为英语是个杀手。正是英语造成了凯尔特语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。这些岛上的分地区依然还有很多社区的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。然而，英语在日常生活中无处不在。所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。英语对仅存的三种凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，人们一定认为它们遥远的未来是岌岌可危的。 2. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguisticism (a condition parallel to racism and sexism). As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default) encouraged or at least tolerated—and certainly have not opposed—the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion. 同时，他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视（与种族歧视、性别歧视等类似）的偏见密切相关。在菲利普森看来，在以白人英语为主导的世界里，主要的机构和个人（有意或无意地）鼓励或者至少是容忍了（肯定没有反对）英语霸权主义式的传播，这种传播始于三个世纪之前的经济及殖民扩张。 3.By and large, we now view them as more or less benign, and often talk with admiration and appreciation about the cultures associated with them and what they have given to the world. And it is fairly safe to do this, because none of them now poses much of a threat. 总的来说，我们现在或多或少地把这些语言看作有利的语言。在谈到与之相关的文化及其为世界所做的贡献时，我们常怀有崇敬与赞赏，而且这样做是很安全的，因为这些语言现在已不会构成什么大的威胁。 4. Yet many people see English as a blessing. Let me leave aside here the obvious advantages possessed by any world language, such as a large communicative network, a strong literary and media complex, and a powerful cultural and educational apparatus. 然而，许多人把英语看成是一件幸事。在此，我暂且不谈世界语言所具有的明显优势，例如庞大的交流网络、发达的文字与传媒体系以及强大的文化教育设施。 5. English-speaking South Africans of British descent were not particularly strong in opposing the apartheid regime, and the black opposition, whose members had many languages, was at first weak and disorganized. 讲英语的南非英国后裔并不强烈反对种族隔离政权，而黑人反对力量，其成员讲多种语言，在初期软弱无力且缺乏组织。 6. Such symbolism suggests that the users of the world's lingua franca should seek to benefit as fully as possible from the blessing and as far as possible avoid invoking the curse. 这一象征表明这种世界通用语的使用者应充分发掘这一幸事为我们带来的好处,同时尽能避免招来灾难。

15.圣瓦伦丁节的时尚 里·爱瑞克·舒密特 ? 尽管英国的许多圣徒节日在美国都被遗忘了，圣瓦伦丁节依旧是一个最受欢迎的节日。美国人是怎样喜欢上圣瓦伦丁节的?历史学家舒密特在下文中讲述了它的秘密。 19世纪40年代，圣瓦伦丁节在美国还不是一个很流行的节日。华盛顿的生日在2月，是美国革命重要的纪念日，而古老的圣瓦伦丁节无论在地位上还是在重要性上都比它逊色多了。垮越大西洋，从英国来到美国，大多数的英国圣徒节日已渐渐淡出人们的记忆，比如人们曾纪念过的那些忠实的信徒们、杰出的民间先知者、慈善家们，比如圣·阿格纳、圣·安娜、圣·菲斯、圣·西蒙以及圣·托马斯，所以人们有理由认为圣瓦伦丁节会像其他许多纪念日一样淡出人们的记忆。由于受到工业社会和新教的时间观念的严格制约，和其他许多散布于中世纪和早期现代日历中的圣徒日一样，圣瓦伦丁节似乎注定是要毯废止的。’新兴美国的年历不会像早期现代英国的年历一样列满教堂的圣徒纪念日行会仪式或王室纪念日，但却可能是独具特色的节日大拼盘，比如共和国庆典，各国移民的不同节日，福音派教会的复活节以及安息日等。和圣过自特里克日，样，圣瓦伦丁日最终被证明是个例外;但与圣·帕特里克日不同的是，创造并赴领圣瓦伦丁节在美国复兴的是商业而不是种族特点。2当然有关圣瓦伦丁日的民间信仰在早期的美国也得以长久地保存下来了，例如在历书上就经常标出这个节日，有时还附上一两首关于节日的韵律诗。一些代表性的传统意象也流传下来，1811年新泽西的柏林顿出版了一本圣瓦伦丁节的诗集，它唤起人们种种联想，如传统的乔臾式浪漫的求爱方式，美丽的春天，还有那些亲嘴的鸟儿，比如:知更鸟，黑鸟，鹤鹤，站在篱笆上的麻雀，欧掠鸟(燕八哥)，以及铿鸟等等，“它们在这节日里成群结队，在晨曦中发出腼腆的求爱宣言”。然而，在19世纪最初的几十年里，报刊几乎很少提到圣瓦伦丁节，而那些评论这个节日的作家们只把它当做几乎是独特的英国人的仪式，它只在伦敦特别流行而在美国却没有明显的吸引力和兴趣。小说家塞缪尔·伍德沃斯是美国最早的编年史作者之一，1832年曾指出:‘，2月14日英国人互送圣瓦伦丁节贺卡，通过抓阉来确定丈夫和配偶的习俗，美国人从未有过很多的尝试，而且现在也不了解。”1858年，《哈勃周刊》报道说，在1840年左右商人们首次寄出印有他们瓦伦丁节产品样品的“旅游代理”的信封，这些推销商们实际上“在大多数情况下是被迫而为，并解释说，这样做是为了使用特别的书信和记录他们所准备的特别销售季节。”19世纪4(j年代以前，这个节日在美国流行文化里无足轻重，不为人关注。 19世纪40年代和50年代，这个节日的命运发生了戏剧性的变化。“几年前，我们看到欧洲人庆祝这个节日的报道，而在这里却没有它的讯息。”《费城公共文摘》1845年评论道，“现在情况发生了变化，圣瓦伦丁节的书信，以及心形节日标志等都被引入。特别在纽约，这种半严肃、半滑稽的求爱方式，花言巧语的爱情宣言，今天都写在纸上，通过邮局来传递。成千上万封这样的信件被寄出……即使在一向严肃的费城，圣瓦伦丁节也为人们所推崇。”《费城公共文摘》在这个节日的欢欣鼓舞里看到了希望。怀着对恢复失传的民间传统和节庆的极度渴望，报纸高度赞扬这种复古的行为。“我们已经变得很通达了，所有古老的节日或圣日或纪念日几乎都从日历上被抹掉了……我们太过于算计了。”这
