56 Why To Mark a Book为什么要在书上做标记

1. You know you have to read "between the lines" to get the most out of anything.

I want to persuade you to do something equally<相等地>important in the course of<在…过程中> your reading. I want to persuade you to "write between the lines." Unless<除非，如果不>you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

1、你知道读书必须要阅读“字里行间的言外之意”，以求最充分的理解。我劝你在读书过程中做一件同等重要的事情；我劝你“在字里行间里写字”。不这样做，就达不到最有效的阅读效果。

2. I contend, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of mutilationbut love.

2、坦率地说，我认为，在书上涂抹标记不是一种损毁行为，而是爱。

3. You shouldn't mark up a book which isn't yours. Librarians (or your friends) who lend you books expect you to keep them clean, and you should. If you decide that I am right about the usefulness of marking books, you will have to buy them. Most of the world's great books are available today, in reprint editions, for a modest<适中的>sum.

3、当然，你不应该在不属于你的书上做标记。借给你书的图书管理员(或者你的朋友)希望你保持书的整洁，你应该这样做。如果你认为我说的在书上做标记颇有益处这番话是对的，你就得自己买书。现在，绝大部分世界上的好书都有再版，我们很容易买到，并且价格合理。

4. There are two ways in which you can own a book. The first is the property right<财产所有权> you establish<建立，确立>by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes, and furniture<家具>. But this act of purchase<购买行为> is only the preludeto possession<拥有>. Full ownership<所有权，所有> comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. An illustration<说明，例证> may make the point clear. You buy a beefsteak and transfer it from the butcher's icebox to your own. But you do not own the beefsteak in the most important

sense until you consume<吃光> it and get it into your bloodstream. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your bloodstream to do you any good.

4、一个人拥有书的方式有两种，第一种是花钱取得财产所有权，就像你花钱买衣服和家具一样。但是，这种购买行为仅是拥有书的前提。只有你将它化为自己的一部分后，你才完全占有了它；同时，把你自己融入书中的最好方法就是在书中写字。打个比方可能使这个观点更清楚。你买了一块牛排，把它从屠夫的冰箱里移到了你自己的冰箱里。但是，从最重要的意义上说，你并没有拥有这块牛排，除非你吃下它并将它吸收进你的血液之中。我的观点是，书的营养也必须应该被“吸收到血液”中，才能对你有所裨益。

5. Confusionabout what it means to own a book leads people to a false reverence for paper, binding, and type<铅字>-a respect for the physical thing-the craft<手艺> of the printer rather than the genius of the author. They forget that it is possible for a man to acquire that idea, to possess the beauty, which a great book contains, without staking<立桩标界> his claim by pasting<粘贴，涂>his bookplate inside the cover. Having a fine library doesn't prove that its owner has a mind enriched<丰富的> by books; it proves nothing more than<仅仅>that he, his father, or his wife, was rich enough to buy them.

5、对于“拥有书籍”的真正含义的误解使人们错误地崇敬纸张、装订和铅字—这是对物质的崇敬-是崇敬印刷工人的技艺，而不是书籍作者的才华。他们忘记了，即使不在封面里贴上藏书票表明自己对书籍的拥有，人们也可以从一本伟大的著作中获得它的精神，领略它的美丽。一个好书房并不能证明它的主人学富五车；仅仅说明他、他的父亲或是他的妻子有钱买书而已。

6. There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and best-sellers-unread, untouched. (This deluded individual owns woodpulp<木（纸）浆> and ink, not books.) The second has a great many books-a few of them read through<通读，仔细阅读>, most of them dipped into<浏览，稍加审视>, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. (This person would probably like to make books his own, but is restrained by a false respect for their physical appearance.) The third has a few books or many every one of them

dogeared<书角卷起的>and dilapidated, shaken<动摇> and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled in from front to back. (This man owns books.)

6、书籍拥有者可以分为三种。第一种人拥有全部的标准成套书和畅销书--既没读过，也没碰过。(这种人占有的只是纸浆和油墨，不是书籍。)第二种人藏书很多--其中几本被通读过，大部分则浅尝辄止，但是所有的书都跟新买时一样整洁光亮。(这种人可能想使书籍真地为其所用，但因错误地过分关注书籍的外观而裹足不前。)第三种人藏书或多或少--因不断使用，每本书都书角卷起，破旧不堪，装订破损，书页松散，全书从扉页至末页都画满了记号，涂满了字句。(这种人才是书的真正拥有者。)

7. Is it false respect, you may ask, to preserve<保护，保持>intact and unblemisheda beautifully printed book, an elegantly<优美的，高雅的>bound edition? Of course not. I'd no more scribble all over a first edition of "Paradise Lost" than I'd give my baby a set of crayons<蜡笔> and an original<原作> Rembrandt! I wouldn't mark up a painting or a statue<雕像>. Its soul, so to speak, is inseparable from its body. And the beauty of a rare<罕见的> edition or of a richly manufactured volume<卷册> is like that of a painting or a statue.

7、你可能要问，将一本印刷精美、装帧雅致的书保存完好，难道也是不恰当的吗?当然不是。我绝不会在一本初版的《失乐园》上乱涂乱写，就像我不会把一幅伦勃朗的原作连同一盒蜡笔交给我的孩子任意涂抹一样！(no more…than 与…同样不)我决不会在一幅绘画或者一座雕像上做标记。可以说，它们的灵魂与它们的躯体是不可分的。而一本稀有版本的书籍或是图文并茂的卷册承载着一种美，这就像一幅绘画或一座雕像一样。

8. But the soul of a book can be separated from its body. A book is more like the scoreof a piece of music<一首音乐，一段音乐>than it is like a painting. No great musician confuse s a symphonywith the printed sheet<纸> of music. Arturo Toscanini revered Brahms, but Toscanini's score of the C-minor Symphony was so thoroughly marked up that no one but the maestro himself could read it. The reason why a great conductor

乐队、合唱队的指挥>makes notationson his musical scores-marks them up again and again each time he returns to study them-is the reason why you should mark your books. If your respect for magnificent<瑰丽的，华丽的> binding or typography gets in the way<妨碍>, buy yourself a cheap edition and pay your respects to the author.

8、但是，一本书的灵魂能够从它的躯体里分离出来。与其说它像一幅画，还不如说它更像一首乐曲的总谱。任何伟大的音乐家都不会将一首交响曲和一张印刷的乐谱相混淆。托斯卡尼尼非常崇敬博拉姆斯，但他的C小调交响曲的乐谱上画满了标记，以致只有大师本人才能看懂。为什么一个伟大的指挥家会在乐谱上做记号-甚至每次研究都会重复标记-其中的奥妙正是你应该在书上做记号的原因。如果你对华美的装帧和印刷的尊重妨碍你读书的话，就给自己买一种便宜的版本，同时对书的作者表达敬意就可以了。

9. Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading? First, it keeps you awake. (And I don't mean merely<仅仅> conscious; I mean wide awake<全神贯注，完全清醒>.) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. That marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

9、为什么在阅读过程中在书上做标记是必不可少的呢?首先，它会使你保持清醒。(我指的不是仅仅神智清醒；我的意思是它能使你全神贯注。)其次，如果阅读是一种能动的行为，那么它就是思考，而想法常常需借助口头的或书面的语言来表达出来。做过记号的书，通常是读者认真思考过的书。最后，写可以帮助你记住阅读时的思想，或作者所表达的思想。

10. If reading is to accomplish<完成，达到> anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can't let your eyes glide<滑动>across the lines of a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read. Now an ordinary<普通的> piece of light fiction<消遣小说>, like, say,<比如说> Gone With the Wind, doesn't require the most active kind of reading. The books you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But a great book, rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises<提出> and tries to answer great fundamental<根本的，基本的> questions, demands<要求，需要>the most

active reading of which you are capable. You don't absorb the ideas of John Dewey the way you absorb the songs of a popular singer. You have to reach for them. That you cannot do while you're asleep<睡着的>.

10、如果阅读的目的不仅仅是消磨时间，那就应该是一种积极的思维活动，仅仅让你的眼睛在书上扫视一遍，你不可能对所读的内容有所理解。当然，一部普通的消遣小说，比如说《飘》，并不需要那种最积极的思维式的阅读。作为消遣的书，可以轻松地读而不会有所失。但一本思想丰富、文字华美，试图提出带根本性的重大问题并加以回答的伟大著作，则要求你尽可能地进行(be capable of v.能够)最积极的阅读。你不可能像欣赏流行歌曲那样领略杜威的思想。你要花力气才能获得，漫不经心是做不到的。

11. If, when you've finished reading a book, the pages are filled with your notes, you know you read actively. The most famous active reader of great books I know was President Hutchins, of the University of Chicago. He also had the hardest schedule<时刻表，预定计划> of business activities of any man I know. He invariably read with a pencil, and sometimes, when he picked up a book and pencil in the evening, he found himself, instead of making intelligentnotes, drawing what he called "caviar<鱼子酱>factories"on the margins<边，页边空白>. When that happened, he put the book down. He knew he was too tired to read, and was just wasting time.

11、如果，你读完一本书的时候，书页上写满了你的批注，你就知道自己的阅读是积极的。我知道的最有名的采用积极方式阅读伟大著作的人是芝加哥大学的校长哈金斯。他也是我所知道的公务最繁忙的人。他读书时总是拿着铅笔。有时，当他在晚上拿起书和铅笔的时候，发觉自己并没有在做有意义的笔记，而是在页边空白处乱涂乱画一些他称之为“鱼子酱工厂”的东西。一出现这种情况，他就会放下书本。他知道自己太累了以致读不下去，(再继续看书)完全是在浪费时间。

中石油2016通用英语选读课文36To Be Content with One's Lot乐天知命

36 To Be Content with One's Lot乐天知命 （be content with 对…满足；lot n. 命运） 1. Peter Hessler described two lifestyles and asked his Chinese students to choose the one they preferred, either a very long yet<但是> ultimatelyaverage<平常的，平均的>and uneventful life, or a very exciting, fun-filled life that only lasted 24 years. Almost all of his 20 something<大约，左右> year old students chose the first option. This surprised Peter because, from his experience with American youths, he was sure the Americans wouldn't have chosen a long, uneventful life. 1、彼得?赫斯勒请他的中国学生在以下两种生活方式中选择其一：一种是平庸却长寿，另一种是只能活24年却享乐无比。那些20岁左右的学生们几乎都选择了第一种生活。彼得十分惊讶，在他看来美国青年并不会如此一致地选择平庸但长寿的生活（可译为：这令彼得十分惊讶，因为以他对美国青年的经验，他认定他们不会选择平庸但长寿的生活）。 2. The Chinese traditionally think an uneventful, but long life is better than a short life full of fun and adventure. There's even an idiom<习语>for the traditional Chinese attitude, "A good death is worse than a lazy life." This saying<谚语>reveals<显示，揭露>a deeply ingrained sense of optimism<乐观> and acceptance of fate<宿命>. It's nothing at all like the Western idea of heroes made through tragedy. 2、无聊无趣但天长地久地活下去，好过冒生命之险求得享乐的短命，这似乎是中国传统的价值观(直译为：具有传统观念的中国人认为：平凡但长寿要好过沉浸于快乐与冒险的短寿)。有习语为证：“好死不如赖活着。”它透露出根深蒂固的乐观与宿命。与英雄产生于悲剧的西方价值观完全不同(It's nothing at all；at all 根本；完全，用于否定句中)。 3. 30 years ago, at the beginning of China's reform<改革>, a group of intellectuals<知识分子>believed the acceptance of one's lot would hurt the growth of the People's Republic<中华民族>. The way they saw it, the Westerners' "seafaring culture<航海文化，蓝色文明>" had allowed them to expand<扩展，扩张> and advance while China's "agrarian culture<耕地文化，黄土文化>" had shut the country off from the world and kept it focusing on itself. 3、30年前改革开放之初，一批知识分子认为乐天知命、安于本分的传统观念有害于中华民族的发展。在他们看来，西方的“蓝色文明”使其开放、进步；（allow sb. to do sth. 允许某人作某事）而中国的“黄土文化”使之封闭、守旧（shut off 切断；keep

4 How to Negotiate<谈判> with Americans 如何与美国人谈判 1.美国是一个富有吸引力的市场。它给世界带来的诸如“股东价值”和“首次公开募股”的商业文化近几年来一直引导着商业思想，并且在未来几年内还将保持。但是无论是谁，想要在美国取得成功，都必须记住游戏的规则。 2.美国的商业，在《纽约，纽约》这首歌的歌词中是这样描述的：“如果你能在这里取得成功，你就能在别的任何地方取得成功!” 但是愉快的做生意的方法是绝对不够的。虽然在美国的商业沟通是愉快的和自在的，但是它同时也因为不讲情面而成为焦点。

3.沟通是美国人与生俱来的才能。双方谈判的时候，闲聊和微笑是很重要的。美国人比英国人更幽默也更直接。（that 引导定语从句，可以译为：美国人自由地使用幽默感，这种幽默感比英国人更加直接。）如果你和美国人谈话，要很放松并且要准备很多笑话来吸引听众的注意力。 4.美国人不拘礼节。商业伙伴不会在他们的名片上写他们的毕业院校。会议期间会提供一些用塑料瓶或盒子装的三明治和饮料。你的生意伙伴很可能会在办公室随意地做一些事情或聊他们的家庭。

5.“时间就是金钱”这种态度在美国的生意场上的影响力比其他任何领域都强。在简单的寒暄之后，美国谈判双方很快地切入主题，甚至社会上举办的联欢会都会被利用来讨论生意。 6.美国人做生意很注重实效，他们就是想赢。相比之下，发展与商业伙伴的个人关系（与得到的谈判结果相比）就不是那么重要了。 7.而且美国谈判者想最快地获得结果。金融情况时刻受到关注（或直译为“财务业绩每季上报”），这对在短期内保证收益很重要。因此，许多美国契约在前言里面包含“时间就是生命”这一条款。所以美国人谈判很性急，但这不应该被理解为无礼，而是因为“时间就是金钱”的理念在起作用。

中石油2016通用英语选读课文59Forest Fires-a Major Disaster森林大火-可怕的灾难

59. Forest Fires: a Major Disaster 森林大火：可怕的灾难 1.The United States Forest Service<林业局>defines a wildfire<野火，山火>as “any fire that b urns uncontrolled in vegetativeor associated flammablematter,”and it divides the causes of wildfire in to nine general categories:lightning<闪电>,campfire<篝火>,smoking,debris burning(fires from clearing land or from burning trash<垃圾>，range，stubble，meadow<草地牧场>,rights-of-way<通行权，开路权，破路权>,logging slash,etc.),incendiary(fires willfullyset),equipment use(except railroad),railroad,children(under 12),and miscellaneous<其他adj混杂的>. 1.美国林务局如此定义山火：“任何在有植物或是相关的易燃物品上燃烧并无法控制的火灾”。山火的原因被分为九类：闪电、篝火、抽烟、废物燃烧（为了清除土地上的树木，或是燃烧垃圾、烧荒、开路、燃烧植物断株和砍伐剩余物等而引起的大火）、纵火（故意所为）、设备使用（不包括铁路火车）、铁路、儿童（12岁以下）以及其它。 2.Wildfires in this country occur at the rate of hundreds per day,and they destroy tens of millions of acres<英亩>of productive<肥沃的，多产的>land in any given year.Direct damage<直接损失>to timber<木材>and property<特性，财产>is reckoned in<计入，将…计算在内> the hundreds of millions of dollars per year,but no monetary value<币值，货币价值> can be assigned<指定的，赋值的> to the loss of human life and of wildlife that often accompanies<伴随…同时发生，陪伴> wildfires. 2.美国每天都有几百起的森林火灾发生，烧毁了几百万公顷的肥沃土地，对于伐木业和财产造成的损失每年高达几百万美元，然而它对人类和野生动物造成的生命损失是无法用金钱来衡量。 https://www.doczj.com/doc/bc3312118.html,ernment statistics<统计>for a typical five-year period<周期>are both interesting and revealing.They can be broken down to show many aspects of the wildfire problem,among<其中> them two which are especially significant<重要>:the leading causes of wildfire and the total acreage burned by wildfire. 3.官方以五年为周期进行统计，其结果很有趣，也揭示了一些问题。这些数字可以从

中石油2016通用英语选读课文45How to Become a Scientist怎样才能成为一名科学家

45 How to Become a Scientist 怎样才能成为一名科学家 1.Looking back at the time,nearly seventy years ago,when the love of science took hold of<吸引，控制住>me,I think of no big event but of many small things that influenced me.As a child I read books and learned lessons,but I did not have much curiosity<好奇>about the natural world<自然界>.This began to change when I looked at the stars.In Australia,where I grew up,the skies are often clear.I learned to recognize the stars and the constellations,and I chose a book about astronomy for a school prize<奖品>in 1931.The stars are there,you cannot change them,you can learn about them only by measuring<测量> their positions and analysing the light that comes from them.But they taught me a lesson in science when I learned about the solar system <太阳系>and was able on a clear night to picture<想象> myself as a mote on a rotating<旋转> globe<地球>,carried along the earth’s orbit<轨道> and looking outward. 1.回想过去，大约70年前，占据我身心的是对科学的热爱，我想不出有什么影响我的重大事件，而是想到了许多影响过我的小事。当我作为一个孩子开始读书上学时，对自然界并没有多少好奇心。后来我开始观察天上的星星，情况就发生了改变。我是在澳大利亚长大的，那里的天空经常是晴朗的，我学会了辨认星星和星座。1931年，我在学校获奖，在学校准备的各种奖品中我选择了一本关于天文学的书。星星就挂在天上，你不能改变它们，但你能够通过测定它们的位置和分析它们射来的光，掌握有关它们的情况。当我了解了太阳系，并在晴朗的夜空里把自己设想成旋转的地球上的一粒微尘，被地球带着沿着它的轨道观察天空时，这给我上了一堂科学课。 2.I began to be interested in chemistry soon after<不久>that.And at school my chemistry teacher was able to interest his class and he encouraged us to think and experiment.At that time one could buy small amounts of many common chemicals and I made a little laboratory at home,with improvisedequipment<简易的设备>,to study chemical reactions<化学反应>.I soon discovered that the organic<有机的> chemicals were the most interesting.With the help of a textbook on practical<实用的> organic chemistry I made many preparations<准备工作>,using cheap chemicals to prepare those that were too expensive for me to buy.This was more satisfying than astronomy,you can change things by your own effort<努力>.At that time I was rapidly losing<迅速的失去> my hearing,so I suppose that the work attracted me also for its impact on the other senses<感觉>:the beauties of crystals<晶体> and distilled liquids<蒸馏液>,the colours of dyes,and smells both good and bad.As a carpenter or a carver

40 Fundamental<基本的> Techniques in Handling<处理> People 处理人际关系的基本技巧 1. On the morning of April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln lay dying<奄奄一息地躺在> in a hall bedroom of a cheap lodging<寄住的，暂住的> house directly across the street from Ford's Theater, where John Wilkes Booth had shot him. Lincoln's long body lay stretched<伸展> diagonally across a sagging<下陷的，下垂> bed that was too short for him. A cheap reproduction<复制品，仿制品> of Rosa Bonheur's famous painting The Horse Fair hung above the bed, and a dismalgas jet<煤气喷嘴，煤气火焰>flickered<发出> yellow light. 1.1865年4月15日清晨,亚伯拉罕.林肯奄奄一息地躺在福特戏院对面一家廉价客栈的卧房里。约翰·威尔克斯·布斯枪杀了他。那张下陷的床对身材修长的林肯而言实在太短了。床的上方，挂着一件罗莎·邦赫的名画《马市》的廉价仿制品，一盏阴暗的煤气灯发出惨淡的黄晕。 2. As Lincoln lay dying, Secretary of War Stanton said, "There lie s the most perfect ruler<元首，统治者> of men that the world has ever seen." 2.当林肯奄奄一息地躺着时，陆军部长斯坦顿说：“躺在这里的，是世界上有史以来最完美的元首。” 3.

I studied the life of Abraham Lincoln for ten years and devoted<投入>all of three years to writing and rewriting<润色> a book entitled<书名叫做> Lincoln the Unknown. I believe I have made as detailed and exhaustive a study of Lincoln's personality<个性，人格，人品> and home life as it is possible for any being to make. I made a special study of Lincoln's method of dealing with people. Did he indulge in<热衷于，沉湎于>criticism? Oh, yes. As a young man in the Pigeon Creek Valley of Indiana, he not only criticize d but he wrote letters and poems<诗> ridiculing people and dropped these letters on the country roads where they were sure to be found. One of these letters aroused<引起> resentmentsthat burned for a lifetime. 3.林肯待人方面成功的秘诀是什么？我花了十年的时间研究亚伯拉罕·林肯的一生，并投入(devote to + n. / doing sth)了整整三年的时间写作和润色一本叫做《林肯不
