Lesson 1Paraphrase1...when I suggested that this behavior might be grounds for sending the student on a brief vacation. (Para 14)One student had some radical comments on the author's class and the author got a little bit angry so that he suggested the school should suspend the student's schooling. But the dean of students thought the author was just too annoyed.The story the speaker tells the audience here is hilarious, but not to be taken seriously. In the United States, university students do write about their professors on their blogs—and write evaluations of their courses, critiquing their professors' teaching skills. So a student could have criticized the speaker for teaching a boring class and the speaker might defend himself by saying that he had a cold. But the story is basically all fantasy. The speaker's serious point may be that students expect professors to entertain them; the professors who are good entertainers receive high evaluations, but the criterion is superficial. Less flashy teachers who think deeply can be the ones from whom the students learn the most.2.Black limousines pulled up in front of his office and disgorged decorously suited negotiators. (Para.16)These were obviously officials from that country's embassy sent to negotiate with the professor about this case. The whole thing had become a tough diplomatic issue.3. Did my pal fold? Nope, he's not the type. But he did not enjoy the process. (Para.16)Did my friend back down? No, he is not the type of person who will easily give up his principles under pressure. But he did not like the experience he had to endure. This again is an interesting anecdote, but not a very good example, because the student involved is too special.4. The idea that a university education really should have no substantial content, should not be about what John Keats was disposed to call Soul-making, is one that you might think professors and university presidents would be discreet about. (Para. 19)Professors and presidents do not think the content of the courses really matters much, because they are soon forgotten anyway. It shouldn't be about soul-making either. The speaker is surprised that professors and presidents are actually by and large quite frank about what they think are the aims of education. They do not hide their views because they do not feel embarrassed.soul-making: moral cultivation, character-building, and intellectual developmentdiscreet: careful about keeping/preventing something from being known or noticed by many people 言语谨慎的，说话小心不让人抓辫子的5. …and common sense is something to respect, though not quite—peace unto the formidable Burke—to revere. (Para. 28)常识是应该尊重的东西，但不一定崇拜希望其令人钦佩的伯克先生别生气。

Unit 61. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.The fact that we do not have evidence showing that there is life beyond Earth does not mean that we can come to the conclusion that there is actually no life beyond Earth.2.

The optimists figure it’s only a matter of time before we tune in the right channel.Those who are optimistic think that as time goes on, they will someday get the signal sent out by an alien civilization.4. That’s what we need to begin the long process of putting human existence……Originally, we regard our world as the only one in the universe which is inhabited by intelligent humans, but we need to change our view and regard this world as one of many in the universe.5. T rue believers and skeptics rarely go over to the other side.Neither those who genuinely believe that space aliens are lurking in our midst nor those who firmly reject such an idea are likely to change their views and join the other side.6. The alien is a Hollywood stock character but not a Hollywood creation.The alien is a character used too much in Hollywood films so it has become hackneyed but the idea of extraterrestrial life was not first brought up by Hollywood.7. The absence of detectable life on Mars put exobiology into a two-decade funk.… The fact that no life had been detected on Mars was a terrible blow to exobiology which did not recover from the blow in the following 20 years.8. Everyone realized the historical glory of being right about these purposed……Everyone knew that if what appeared to be microfossils were confirmed to be such, then the discovery would be of historic significance, but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed would be equally dramatic.9. If you rewound the tape of terrestrial evolution and played it again……… if evolution on Earth were to take place a second time, a human being who is genetically similar to us would be the result of such evolution.10. So before we worry about our dealings with the Galactic Empire, we have some……Since there is so much work we need to do here in this world (since there are so many issues we need to address in this world), let us first concentrate on doing some solid research (on addressing these issues )and drop discussion about drafting messages to another civilization out there.Unit 51. Fads, I submit, are the very negation of reason.I believe following passing crazes shows a complete lack of sound judgment.2.

He wore such a depressed look that I came to the conclusion at once that he was suffering from appendicitis.3. My brain, that precision instrument, slipped into high gear.My brain, which is as precise as a chemist’s scales, began to work at high speed.4. She was, to be sure, a girl who excited the emotions, but I was not……She was beautiful and attractive enough to arouse the desires and passions of men, but I would not let feelings or emotions get the upper hand of reason or good sense.5. She was not yet of pin-up proportions, but I felt sure that time would supply the lack.She was not yet fully developed like pin up girls but I felt sure that, given time, she would fill up and become jut as glamorous.6. In fact, she veered in the opposite direction.In fact, she went in the opposite direction. This is a sarcastic way of saying that she was rather stupid.7.

Back and forth his head swiveled, desire waxing, resolution waning.His head turned back and forth (looking at the coat then looking away from the coat). Every time he looked, his desire for the coat grew stronger and his resolution not to give away Polly became weaker.9. This loomed as a project of no small dimensions, and at first I was tempted…To teach her to think appeared to be a very big task, and at first I even thought of giving her back to Petey.10. There is a limit to what flesh and blood can bear.There is a limit to what any human being can bear.Unit41. Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna……are not needed by a writer.If you want to be musician or a painter, you must own a piano or hire models, and you have to visit or even live in cultural centers like Paris, V ienna and Berlin. And also you have to be taught by masters and mistresses. However, if you want to be a writer, you don't need all this. 2.

Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her……the inkpot and flung it at her.Thus, whenever I felt the influence of the V ictorian attitudes on my writing, I fought back with all my power4. For though men sensibly allow themselves……condemn such freedom in women.It was a sensible thing for men to give themselves great freedom to talk about the body and their passions, but if women want to have the same freedom, men condemn such freedom in women. And I don't believe that they realize how severely they condemn such freedom in women, nor do I believe that they can control their extremely severe condemnation of such freedom in women5. Indeed it will be a long time still, I think……a rock to be dashed against.It will take a long time for women to rid themselves of false values and attitudes and toovercome the obstacle to telling the truth about their body passions6. Even when the path is nominally open—when there is nothing to prevent a woman…Even when the path is open to women in name only, when outwardly there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant, inwardly there are still false ideas and obstacles impeding a woman's progress.7.

Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups with broad support have come into being to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign" cultural assault"3. Where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand.In China, the two trends of closed-door and open-door policies have long been struggling for dominance4. Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.The Chinese people should continue to live a backward life while we live comfortably with all modern conveniences5. W esternization…is a phenomenon shot with inconsistence and populated by bedfellows. Westernization is a concept full of self-contradiction and held by people of very different backgrounds or views6. Y ou don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.In trying to find out what will be the future trend, you don't need to be fashionable yourself, all you need is awareness, that is to say, you need to be on the alert, to be observant7. He…was up in the cybersphere far above the level of time zones.He was moving around, playing a game through the Internet, with people living in different time zones, thus their activity on the computer broke down time zone limit.8. In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising $100,000.The Gucci store didn't expect the first two weeks of its opening in shanghai business could be so good9.

The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of showing repentance might be peculiar to the Jews, but the strong desire of gaining forgiveness from God is common, shared by allUnit21.

The girl had the sauciness of a Shirley T emple.The girl was Shirley Temple like, slightly rude but in an amusing way.4. It felt like worms and toads and slimy things……awful side of me had surfaced, at last.As I blurted these words out, I felt that something nasty had got out of my chest, and so I felt disgusted. But at the same time, I felt good and relieved, because those nasty thoughts had been suppressed in my heart for a long time and now they had got out at last5. And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point. I wanted to see it spill out.I could feel that her anger had reached the point where she was at the very verge of losing herself-control, I wanted to see what my mother would do when she lost complete control of herself.6. The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it shut out the dust and also put an end to my misery and her dreams.Unit11.The job of arousing manhood within a people……is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2.Psychological freedom……against long night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3.

The absence of worldly goods indicated……and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hardworking and lacked a sense of right andwrong.7. It is not the work of slaves……or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by salve-drivers or they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8. When the unjust measurement of human……is eliminated.When the unfair practice of judging human value by the amount of money a person has is done away with.9.

Yet, because of the dense forests, they could not see very far, andthey could hardly stand straight.8.clusters of trees and animals The earth unfolds and the limit of the land is far inthe distance, where there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. Thislandscape makes one see far and broadens one’s horizon.9.not yet would they veer southward to They would not yet change the directionsouthward to the land lying below which was like a large kettle.

Unit 81.I was conscious of his superiority I knew that Oppenheimer was a man of greattalent but his way of showing his talent at my seminars caused uneasiness and resentment among people, especially among his fellow students.2.This did not seem to be the sort of anecdote Since those attending the conferencewere people devoted to poetry , such an anecdote, though interesting, might not be appreciated by the audience.3.Pitted against these excellent There were two reasons for my going to the conferenceset against the reasons for my not going and they became decisive in my final decision.4.He is for me, one of those people whose According to my view, Spender belongs tothe group whose writings about their lives, experiences, that is whose autobiographies, are more interesting than their literary works.5.Auden’s Dirac like lucidity Like Dirac, Auden was outstanding in clarity. He wasalso outstanding in the powerful use of the language and the sense of fun about serious issues. All these greatly fascinated me.6.Spenser’s journal entry on his visit Spender’s record of his visit is interesting notonly because of the things he mentions but also because of the things he does not say.7.Oppenheim appears in Spenser’s journal In his book, Spender fails to give aconnected, complete picture of Oppenheimer and does not mention that Oppenheimer’s background and situation has quite a lot to do with spender.8.The real thing was much better The real person looked much better than thepictures.9.One probably should not read too much Maybe one should not attach too muchimportance to appearance.10.he had outlived them all, He gad lived longer than any of his more famous friendsbut traces or influences of these friends, especially those of Auden, could still be found on him.Unit 71.it took me a long time and much painful It took me a long time to get rid of illusionsand realize the simple and apparent truth that I am nobody but myself.

So maybe I should let that big boy win without putting up resistance, for this was time for me to show humility.7.cast down your bucket where you are Make full use of what you have and do thebest you can.

But if women want to have the same freedom, men condemn such freedom in women. And I do not believe that they realize how severely they condemn such freedom in women, nor do I believe that they can control their extremely sever condemnation of such freedom in women.5.Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a bookwithout finding a phantom to be slain, a rock to be dasher against.It will take a long time for women to rid themselves of false values and attitudes and to overcome the obstacle to telling the truth about their body and passions.6.Even when the path is nominally open—when there is nothing to prevent a woman frombeing a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant—there are many phantoms and obstacles, as I believe looming in her way.Even when the path is open to women in name only, when outwardly there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant, inwardly there are still false ideas and obstacles impeding a woman’s progress.7.You have won rooms of your own in the house hitherto exclusively owned by men.(Through fighting against the Angel in the House, through great labor and effort,) you have gained a position or certain freedom in a society that has been up to now dominate by men.Lesson 31.Yet globalization… “is a reality, not a choice”.Yet globalization is not something that you can accept or reject, it is alreadya matter of life which you will encounter and have to respond to every day.2.Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups with broad support have come into being to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign “cultural assault”.3.…where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upperhand……in China, the two trends of closed—door and open—door policies have long been struggling for dominance.4.Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will haveshowers that work.The Chinese people should continue to live a backward life while we live comfortably with all modern conveniences.5.Westernization… is a phenomenon shot with inconsistencies and populated byvery strange bedfellows.…westernization is a concept full of self—contradiction and held by people of very different backgrounds or views.6.You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.In trying to find out what will be the future trend, you do not need to be fashionable yourself.

One of the more extraordinary truths about the soap opera that is the British royal…The scandals, sexual and other, involving members of the royal family, have in recent years outshone the television serials dealing with family problems.

Willing drinking the poisoned chalice of fame……these people are pleased and content ed when they are in the limelight or in the newspaper headlines although such fame may be an ill omen.5.

In Britain, intrusion into the private lives of public figures have prompted……In Britain, as a result of exposure of private lives of famous people, certain groups of influential people have demanded the adoption of laws protecting privacy.7. But where the powerful can hide behind the law, might not a good deal……but if the illegal activities of those influential people could be kept unknown to the public as a result of privacy protection laws, it is possible that a lot of other illegal activities could also be covered up by such laws.8. Many special-interest groups, claiming the moral high ground, now demand…Many organized groups pursuing special policy goals which assert that they are morally superior to the rest of the rest of the population are now demanding that officials should be authorized to control the content of printed matters, TV programs and films.9. Religious extremists, these days demand respect for their attitudes with growing stridency. Those who hold fundamentalist religious beliefs have recently been making louder and louder demands that their conservative beliefs should be accepted without question.10.
