大学英语B复习指导(5)
Ⅴ.英译汉
考试的英译汉部分要求在20分钟内把5个难度适中的英语句子翻译成汉语，满分15分。这部分试题考查考生对英语的综合理解和汉语表达能力，对一些英语基础较差的考生来说比较困难，但是这15分也不能“慷慨丢弃”, 必须尽量争取多得分。
从六套模拟试题的翻译题看来，翻译部分句子有几个特点：句子意思完整清楚；句子内容仅涉及一般日常生活或科普知识；句子结构上大多数为简单句，少数为复杂句或并列句；句子长度在6—20个单词左右，基本不涉及太难或生僻词汇。
一、翻译方法：一般分为直译与意译两种：
直译是指在翻译时尽量保持原文的语言表现形式，包括用词、句子结构和比喻手段等，译文要求忠实于原意，语言流畅易懂；
意译指把原文的大意翻译出来即可，可以不注重细节，包括不注重原文的用词、句子结构和比喻，但译文要求自然流畅。
英语基础较好的考生可以尝试兼用两种翻译方法来完成这部分，而基础较差的考生最好以意译为主。
二、如何使用意译翻译句子
对原文的理解是进行翻译的基础和前提，只有正确理解了原文，才能正确表达出原意。因此考生应该首先掌握好英语，记忆足够英语词汇。这里介绍的意译方法只能是让考生在现有状态下尽可能少失分多得分，不是给你在任何情况下都能在翻译部分获得高分的保证。
意译英语句子分四步来完成：
◆A.分析原文句子的结构，确定它是简单句后，找出句子中的“主-谓（-宾）∕S-V-O”结构；
◆B.根据句子中带有的连接词，确定它是复杂句或并列句，并找出两个分句之间的逻辑关系；
◆C. 找出了句子的框架后，再寻找其他修饰语的意思
例1：In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger. （Test 5-58）
S V O
这句子是个简单句，它的大概意思是“我们…感到…饥渴”，再找出宾语的定语“spiritual”
的意思是“精神上的”，“age”是“时代，年代”的意思，“plenty”是“丰裕，富裕”的意思。这样，整句的意思就出来了，“在物质丰裕的年代，我们感到精神上的饥渴”。
如果只知道大概的意思，把句子译为“我们感到饥渴∕饥饿”，料想也能得到一定分数，不会得零分。
例2：Transistors are small in size and light in weight. （Test 4-57）
S V O1 O2
这句也是简单句，大概意思是“晶体管体积小重量轻∕晶体管又小又轻∕晶体管小而轻”，如果知道“transistor，small，light”这三个词（尤其是第一个单词）的意思是“晶体管，小的，轻的”的话，有科普知识的人可以找出这三者之间的逻辑关系，把这句话的意思猜出来。
◆D. 如果是复杂句或并列句，一定要找出链接两个分句的连接词，两个分句就是两个简单句，用上面介绍的翻译方法翻译分句，然后再由连接词和其他方面确定两个分句之间的逻辑关系，选择适当的句式翻译整个句子。
例3：Tom was such a hardworking student that he soon came out first in the class. (Test 2-57) S V O S V 0
分析这个句子后发现它是个复杂句，包含两个简单句，连接词是“such…that…”。前一个分句的大概意思是“汤姆…是…学生”；后一个分句意思是“他…成为第一∕最好成绩”。考虑链接词“such…that…”可以表达结果和程度，就会发现这两个分句之间是一种程度逻辑关系。“hardworking”一定是一个褒义词，“in the class”是介词短语，意思是“在班上”。大家可能会翻出以下句子来：
a. 汤姆是个好学生，他成了班上第一名。
b. 汤姆是如此勤奋的学生，他在班上成绩第一。
c. 汤姆学习如此勤奋，以至于他不久就成了班上成绩最好的学生。
这几句都能获得相应的分数，a 句得分稍低；b 句较好；c句最好。
例4：John and his brother differ in personality even if their differences in age are not significant.
S V S V O (Test 4-60)
这个复杂句也是包含两个简单句，前一个分句大概意思是“约翰和他弟弟不一样…”, 后
一个分句大概意思是“差异…不是…显著”。连接词“even if”的意思是“即使，尽管”，表明前后两个分句之间存在转折的逻辑关系，即使其他的词汇不是很清楚也可以推测出约翰和他弟弟在某一方面有差异，尽管在另一方面的差异不显著，这样就可以翻译为完整和准确程度不一的句子：
a. 约翰和他弟弟薪水拿得不一样，因为担任的职务完全不同。（连接词意思弄错，其他修饰语也弄错，但料能得到一点分数）
b. 约翰和他弟弟面貌不一样，尽管个子差异不大。（连接词正确，但面貌与个子之间不应存在转折逻辑关系，也能得到一些分数）
c.约翰和他弟弟性情不同，尽管年代差异不显著。
d. 约翰和他弟弟尽管年龄相差不大，性格却宭然不同。（前后两个分句顺序颠倒翻译更符合汉语习惯）
可以看出，复杂句或并列句的一个重点是辨认出连接词，再加上其他副词等，才可以确定分句之间的逻辑关系。因此记住主要的英语连接词意思对正确翻译句子很有帮助。
例5：Wang Li’s father has taught English here since he graduated from Peking University. (Test 1-56)
S V O S V
王立的父亲从北京大学毕业以来就在这所学校教英语。
例6：He told me that he had lived in America for ten years before he came to China. （Test 6-59）S V O S V S V
这一句比较复杂，包含三个S+V 结构，大体意思是“他告诉我……他已经住了……他来（到）…”。连接词‘that’首先把句子分成两部分，后面是他告诉我的内容。后一部分中的连接词‘before’表明两件事情发生的先后次序，‘他已经住了…’在前，’他来（到）…’在后。学生可能会翻译成以下这样一些句子：
a．他告诉我他已经住在…他来中国。（不完整不通顺，料能得到最低分）
b．他告诉我他来中国后已经住了很久。（与上句类似，料能得到最低分）
c．他告诉我他在美国已经住了很久才到中国来。（不完整，但比上两句好，估计能得到一半以上分数）
d．他告诉我他在美国已经住了五年才来到中国。（比c句好，得大半以上分会不成问题）
e．他告诉我他来中国前已经在美国住了十年。（这一句最好，得分最高，有可能得满分）其他常见的连接词如：
as, when, while…等表示时间，意思是“在…时候”；
since, because, as…等表示因果，意思是“由于∕因为…”;
if, as long as, unless…等表示条件，意思是“如果，只要，除非…”;
although, though, even if…等表示让步，意思是“即使，尽管…”;
and…等表示并列或递进关系，意思是“而且”；
but, whereas, yet…等表示转折关系，意思是“但是，不过，可是…”;
so/such…that…等表示程度或结果，意思是“如此/这样的…以至于…”。
还有其他一些，这里不一一列举，大家可以在复习中进一步总结出来。
The Generation Gap at Work As offices go, the editorial suites at Time Inc. are pretty laid back. T-shirts are fine. Shave if you like. Slides, sneakers or heels - your choice. Yet there's a limit to what passes for acceptable appearance, and I was sure a recent bunch of college interns had breached it spectacularly with their nose rings, tattoos and low-rise pants. These were bright, ambitious kids. Why the blatant show of disrespect? My younger colleagues wondered too. But they were more amused than aghast, and it occurred to me that there is a widening generation gap when it comes to interpreting casual Fridays. And that's not all: Young folks are putting their stamp on the workplace in ways far more reaching than their wardrobe. And we boomers don't necessarily like it. We're all part of a new-age experiment: four generations working side by side yet often speaking a different language. Think that's an exaggeration? Go ahead. Try to decipher this twentysomething text message: WU CMIW that was CLM or maybe CS. (What's up? Correct me if I'm wrong. That was a career-limiting move or maybe career suicide.) Boomers, the older "silent" generation, and younger ones known as X and Y bring vastly different histories, values and work habits to the job. These gaps have led to stereotypes that hinder our ability to get things done. Nearly 60 percent of HR managers at large companies say they've observed office conflicts that flow from generational differences, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Tensions typically stem from perceptions of loyalty and respect - as in, we think the kids don't have any. Yet the latest research shows that we may be compatible after all. Debunking some key myths may help you get past the tattoos and belly buttons in your office. Myth No. 1: Young workers love change It's commonly thought that young people embrace change as enthusiastically as older workers resist it. Not so. In a study of 3,200 workers, only 12 across the generations said they liked change at the office, reports the Center for Creative Leadership. "Resistance to change isn't about age, it's about how much you stand to gain or lose," says the Center's Jennifer Deal, author of "Retiring the Generation Gap: How Employees Young and Old Can Find Common Ground." In general, older workers have more to lose. But many younger workers have identical anxieties. Don't make assumptions based on age, says Deal. Ask your young colleagues how a shift would change their life. If it's for the better, can you blame them for loving it? But it might be as upsetting to them as it is to you - and it could be a bonding moment. Myth No. 2: Gen X- and Y-ers lack a strong work ethic(职业道德) Not true. But coming of age under very different circumstances has affected our work styles. Boomers had to scrape and claw for jobs and work long hours to keep them and get ahead because there were so many of us. Competition was keen. Work became central to our identities, and with two-earner households, we did much of our socializing in professional circles. But Gen X is much smaller and has never known job scarcity. They can demand more or move on. They've seen their parents get downsized, seeming victims of company loyalty, and watched them strain to juggle career and family. That different history has led to marked differences in how we work. Younger generations are willing to move every two or three years to get the job experience and work-life balance they want. Ask them to come into the office over the weekend and they are apt to resist.
学外语 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。
Unit1 1、羞怯可以让人从感觉轻微的不适到高度焦虑，这会对我们做任何事都有影响。Shyness can vary from feeling mild discomfort to high levels of anxiety that impact us in almost everything we do. 2、尽管固执，但他清楚自己应该避免引起怀疑。 Despite his stubbornness,he knew in his heart that he should avoid arousing any suspicions 3、无论你说什么都会被理解成批评 It will be interpreted as criticism no matter what you say(成批评，无论你说什么） 4、让我们不要为该被忽略和忘记的小事翻烦心。 Let’s not all ourselves to be upset by trifles（which) we should ignore and forget. 5、花太多的时间老是想着过去会阻碍你享受生活。 Too much time spent dwelling on the past can get in the way of enjoying life as it happens. 6、相信自己能够完成目标并解决问题的人更有可能在学校里表现得好。 People who believe they can accomplish goals and solve problems are more likely to do well in school. Unit2 1、她穿了一条有玫瑰团的裙子。 She wore a dress with a pattern of roses on it 2、Helen为我们准备了一顿丰盛的晚饭。 Helen had prepared a good meal for us. 3、Ann信誓旦旦的保证她不会说出去。 Ann promised faithfully that she would never tell. 4、你能把这封信送到会计部吗？ Could you deliver this letter to the accounts department? 5、他们为我们提供了精选的牛奶和纯巧克力。 We were offered a selection of milk and plain chocolate. 6、告诉孩子们别胡闹。 Tell the children to keep out of mischief/behave themselves. 7、我们能够听见远处打雷的声音 We could hear the sound of distant thunder.
Unit 1 A Technological Revolution in Education 教育界的科技革命 如果让生活在1900年的人来到我们这个时代，他会辨认出我们当前课堂里发生的许多事情——那盛行的讲座、对操练的强调、从基础读本到每周的拼写测试在内的教学材料和教学活动。可能除了教堂以外，很少有机构像主管下一代正规教育的学校那样缺乏变化了。 让我们把上述一贯性与校园外孩子们的经历作一番比较吧。在现代社会，孩子们有机会接触广泛的媒体，而在早些年代这些媒体简直就是奇迹。来自过去的参观者一眼就能辨认出现在的课堂，但很难适应现今一个10岁孩子的校外世界。 学校——如果不是一般意义上的教育界——天生是保守的机构。我会在很大程度上为这种保守的趋势辩护。但变化在我们的世界中是如此迅速而明确，学校不可能维持现状或仅仅做一些表面的改善而生存下去。的确，如果学校不迅速、彻底地变革，就有可能被其他较灵活的机构取代。 计算机的变革力 当今时代最重要的科技事件要数计算机的崛起。计算机已渗透到我们生活的诸多方面，从交通、电讯到娱乐等等。许多学校当然不能漠视这种趋势，于是也配备了计算机和网络。在某种程度上，这些科技辅助设施已被吸纳到校园生活中，尽管他们往往只是用一种更方便、更有效的模式教授旧课程。 然而，未来将以计算机为基础组织教学。计算机将在一定程度上允许针对个人的授课，这种授课形式以往只向有钱人提供。所有的学生都会得到符合自身需要的、适合自己学习方法和进度的课程设置，以及对先前所学材料、课程的成绩记录。 毫不夸张地说，计算机科技可将世界上所有的信息置于人们的指尖。这既是幸事又是灾难。我们再也无须花费很长时间查找某个出处或某个人——现在，信息的传递是瞬时的。不久，我们甚至无须键入指令，只需大声提出问题，计算机就会打印或说出答案，这样，人们就可实现即时的"文化脱盲"。 美中不足的是，因特网没有质量控制手段；"任何人都可以拨弄"。信息和虚假信息往往混杂在一起，现在还没有将网上十分普遍的被歪曲的事实和一派胡言与真实含义区分开来的可靠手段。要识别出真的、美的、好的信息，并挑出其中那些值得知晓的, 这对人们构成巨大的挑战。 对此也许有人会说，这个世界一直充斥着错误的信息。的确如此，但以前教育当局至少能选择他们中意的课本。而今天的形势则是每个人都拥有瞬时可得的数以百万计的信息源，这种情况是史无前例的。 教育的客户化 与以往的趋势不同，从授权机构获取证书可能会变得不再重要。每个人都能在模拟的环境中自学并展示个人才能。如果一个人能像早些时候那样"读法律"，然后通过计算机模拟的实践考试展现自己的全部法律技能，为什么还要花12万美元去上法学院呢？用类似的方法学开飞机或学做外科手术不同样可行吗？ 在过去，大部分教育基本是职业性的：目的是确保个人在其年富力强的整个成人阶段能可靠地从事某项工作。现在，这种设想有了缺陷。很少有人会一生只从事一种职业；许多人都会频繁地从一个职位、公司或经济部门跳到另一个。 在经济中，这些新的、迅速变换的角色的激增使教育变得大为复杂。大部分老成持重的教师和家长对帮助青年一代应对这个会经常变换工作的世界缺乏经验。由于没有先例，青少年们只有自己为快速变化的"事业之路"和生活状况作准备。 技术的更深远影响
新编大学英语（第二版）第一册阅读文参考译文 Unit One 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。 5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English; you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind. 掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试（Cambridge First Certificate examination）的数字表明，词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大可能在这项考试中成功。最近的研究也表明，其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少认识一万六千个英语词。除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言，要获得大的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的：你就得依靠勤奋和专注。当然，你可以从上下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思，但往往你得查词典才能搞清楚它们的确切意思。一个切实可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读，最好是读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。反复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的：你每读一次都会学到不同的生词，而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。 Unit2 1.我认为向他求助是不现实的。事实上，他自己也需要帮助。 I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help. 2.越来越多的人正在意识到与空气污染作斗争的迫切需要。 More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution. 3.有明显的迹象表明一些古老的传统和价值观念不再被年轻人珍视。 There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and values are no longer cherished by the young people. 4.我们许多人觉得宇宙无限这一概念难以理解。 Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp. 5.因为在法律和规章中有许多漏洞，一小撮投机倒把者一夜之间暴富就没有什么奇怪了。There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight. 6.旅游事业的空前兴旺使这个从前只住有三百人的边境小镇突然繁荣起来。 An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people. 7.根据这一信息，该国已经具有制造核武器的能力。 In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons. 8.他不顾朋友们的反复警告，把所有的钱都投向了高风险企业。 Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.

And finally, because the Internet allows individuals to have specific electronic mail addresses, people can easily communicate with one another. 1 可能除了教会以外，很少有机构像主管下一代正规教育的学校/教育机构那样缺乏变化了 2 来自过去的参观者一眼就能辨认出现在的课程，但很难适应现今一个10岁孩子的校外世界 3 但变化在我们的世界中是如此迅速和明确，以至于学校不可能维持现状或仅仅做一些表面
One Writer's Beginnings 1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me. She'd read to me in the big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She'd read to me in the dining room on winter afternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo clock ending the story with "Cuckoo", and at night when I'd got in my own bed. I must have given her no peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning, and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her read to me while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her butter. She was an expressive reader. When she was reading "Puss in Boots," for instance, it was impossible not to know that she distrusted all cats. 作家起步时 我从两三岁起就知道，家中随便在哪个房间里，白天无论在什么时间，都可以念书或听 人念书。母亲念书给我听。上午她都在那间大卧室里给我念，两人一起坐在她那把摇椅里， 我们摇晃时，椅子发出有节奏的滴答声，好像有只唧唧鸣叫的蟋蟀在伴着读故事。冬 日午后，她常在餐厅里烧着煤炭的炉火前给我念，布谷鸟自鸣钟发出“咕咕”声时，故事便结束了；晚上我在自己床上睡下后她也给我念。想必我是不让她有一刻清静。有时她在厨 房里一边坐着搅制黄油一边给我念，故事情节就随着搅制黄油发出的抽抽搭搭的声响不断展开。我的奢望是她念我来搅拌；有一次她满足了我的愿望，可是我要听的故事她念完了，她 要的黄油我却还没弄好。她念起故事来富有表情。比如，她念《穿靴子的猫》时，你就没法 不相信她对猫一概怀疑。 2 It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they came from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them — with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them. 当我得知故事书原来是人写出来的，书本原来不是什么大自然的奇迹，不像草那样自生 自长时，真是又震惊又失望。不过，姑且不论书本从何而来，我不记得自己有什么时候 不爱书——书本本身、封面、装订、印着文字的书页，还有油墨味、那种沉甸甸的感觉， 以及把书抱在怀里时那种将我征服、令我陶醉的感觉。还没识字，我就想读书了，一心想 读所有的书。
