Unit 4 Lierature and ArtsText A 参考译文诗,如同这世界,可以说是有四个时代的,不过程度不同罢了;诗的第一个时代是铁器时代、第二个是黄金时代;第三个是白银时代;第四个是黄铜时代。
在诗的第一个时代,铁器时代,粗野的歌人,用震耳的旋律,歌颂更粗野的魁酋们的丰功伟业,当时,人人都是战士,各式社会的最高实践箴言是:“保持我们所有的东西,夺取我们所能夺取。
”,这箴言尚未以正义的名义和法律的形式装扮起来,而是刀光剑影的一句露骨格言,白刃相向就是meum et meum(而我之间)一切问题的裁判和公断。
在那些日子,只有三种职业兴隆(除了时时都兴隆的祭司职业以外),那就是王者、盗贼、乞丐的职业:乞丐多半是穷途落魄的王者,盗贼则多半是前途似锦的王者。
向一个陌生者询问的第一个问题是:“你是乞丐还是盗贼?”陌生人回答,往往先冒充乞丐,等到方便时机,便证明他堪称为盗贼。
每个人的自然欲望,是把他所能获得的权势和财产,尽量独占为己有,不择手段,强权就是公理;加上一个同样自然的欲望,那就是让尽可能多的人知道,他在这个普遍追求中夺得多少东西。
成功的武士变成魁酋,成功的魁酋转成王者:他接着便需要一个工具来宣扬他的功业的名声和财富的多寡。
这个工具他在歌人身上找到了,歌人事前在他的美力充分感发之下,是随时准备歌颂他的武力的。
这就是诗的起源:诗,正如其他职业那样,是因有这种商品的需求而兴起,按照市场范围的扩大而繁荣的。
所以,诗在起源时是歌功颂德的。
各民族最早的粗野诗歌,好像是一种简要的历史介绍,用臃肿浮夸的调子,颂扬一些杰出人物的功绩和财产。
诗的黄金时代取材于铁器时代。
这个时代开始之时,诗便开始回顾往事,一种类似扩大的国家行政体系的制度已经建立起来,个人的力量和勇敢已经不足以扩张武人勇士的势力,不足以使帝王废立和国家兴亡了,有组织的人群,社会的制度,世袭的继承等等,将予以抑制。
人们也更多生活在真理光辉之中,交换着观察成果,从而看出了鬼神的作用不是那么经常在他们之间发生,从古代诗歌和传说看来好像经常在他们祖先之间发生似的。
UNIT41. Think for a moment about your own life — the activities of your day, the possessions you enjoy, the surroundings in which you live. Is there anything you don’t have at this moment that you would like to have? Anything that you have, but that you would like more of? If your answer is “no,” then congratulations — either you are well advanced on the path of Zen self-denial, or else you are a close relative of Ted Turner . The rest of us, however, would benefit from an increase in our material standard of living. This simple truth is at the very core of economics. It can be restated this way: we all face the problem of scarcity.2 Almost everything in your daily life is scarce. You would benefit from a larger room or apartment, so you have a scarcity of space. You have only two pairs of shoes and could use a third for hiking; you have a scarcity of shoes. You would love to take a trip to Chicago, but it is difficult for you to find the time or the money to go — trips to Chicago are scarce.3 Because of scarcity, each of us is forced to make choices. We must allocate our scarce time to different activities: work, play, education, sleep, shopping, and more. We must allocate our scarce spending power among different goods and services: food, furniture, movies, long-distance phone calls, and many others.4 Economists study the choices we make as individuals and how those choices shape our economy. For example, the goods that each of us decides to buy ultimately determine which goods business firms will produce. This, in turn, explains which firms and industries will hire new workers and which will lay them off.5. Economists also study the more subtle and indirect effects of individual choice on our society. Will most Americans continue to live in houses, or — like Europeans will most of us end up in apartments? Will we have an educated and well-informed citizenry? Will museums and libraries be forced to close down? Will traffic congestion in our cities continue to worsen, or is there relief in sight? These questions hinge, in large part, on the separate decisions of millions of people. To answer them requires an understanding of how people make choices under conditions of scarcity.6. Think for a moment about the goals of our society. We want a high standard of living for all citizens: clean air, safe streets, and good schools. What is holding us back from accomplishing all of these goals in a way that would satisfy everyone? You probably already know the answer: scarcity. 1. 想一想你的生活:你每天从事的活动,你所拥有的财产,你所居住的环境。
第一组:Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols intercourse. These signs are the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situations of daily life:when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to give orders to servants, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not.人们远离了熟悉的符号和社会交往的信号之后感到焦虑,由此产生了文化休克。
这些符号在日常生活中有许多自我定位的表现形式:当我们见到人们时,何时握手并且说什么;何时并且如何给小费,怎样给雇员下达命令,怎样买东西,何时接受和拒绝邀请,何时认真或者不认真对待声明。
这些符号形式多样,指导着我们应对日常生活中的各种情况:与人见面忽略These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms are aquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which are unconsciously learned. 规则我们在成长过程中所了解的这些符号,比如言语、手势、面部表情和习俗,是我们成长过程中获得的,都是文化中的一部分如我们所讲的语言和所接受的信仰一样。
Unit4爱是一门艺术吗?艾里克·弗洛姆爱是一门艺术吗?那就需要知识并付出努力。
或者爱是一种令人愉悦的情感,只有幸运儿才能“坠入”爱河呢?这本小书是以第一种假设为前提的,而大多数人无疑都相信第二种假设。
人们并非认为爱无关紧要。
人们对于爱总是如饥似渴,悲欢离合的爱情电影他们百看不厌,百般无聊的爱情歌曲他们百听不烦。
但很少有人认为爱需要学习。
对爱的这种奇怪观点基于几个错误前提,这些前提或单独或一起支撑着这一观点。
多数人认为爱就是“被人爱”,而非“爱别人”,或主动去爱的能力。
因此,对他们而言,关键问题就在于如何被爱,如何粉可爱。
他们采取各种途径以期达到此目的。
一种方法就是成为成功人士,在自己的社会地位所许可的范围内获取最大量的权力和财产。
这种方法的效法者多为男性。
另一种方法则是通过保持身材和注重打扮使自己富有魅力。
女性尤为青睐该方法。
其他一些让自己魅力四射的方法有:举止得体,谈吐风趣,乐于助人、低调内敛等。
这些方式男女均有采用。
很多使自己可爱的方式和使自己成功的途径并无区别,那就是“赢得朋友和影响他人”。
事实上,社会上大多数人所理解的“可爱”无非是受大众欢迎和对异性有吸引力这两点的综合而已。
导致“爱不需要学习”这种看法的第二个前提是:人们想当然地认为爱的问题是“对象”问题,而不是“能力”问题。
人们认为爱是件很简单的事,困难在于要找到爱或被爱的对象。
造成这种态度的几大根源基于现代社会的发展。
原因之一是:在20世纪,人们对“恋爱对象”的选择出现了巨大变化。
在维多利亚时代,同许多传统文化一样,人们一般认为爱情并非是那种最终走向婚姻的自然产生的个人情感。
恰恰相反,人们认为婚姻是按照传统习俗约定的:或为父母之命,或为媒妁之言,也可能无须这些中介撮合;婚姻是按社会习俗的考虑决定的,婚姆既成,爱情随之自然而然地产生。
过去几十年以来,西方世界普遍认可自由恋爱。
在美国,尽管传统爱情观念并没有完全消失,但人们普遍在寻我“浪没爱情”寻找那种最终会走向的自由。
下面的文章选自奈杰尔贝诺克瑞提斯的婚姻与家庭。
此书在美国的一些大学里被用作社会学和妇女研究等课程的教材,它强调了在当代社会和家庭中所发生的重要变化,探索了家庭成员所面临的选择,以及我们很多人都还未意识到的种种约束。
该书还审视了当今美国家庭的多样性,运用跨文化和多元文化的比较,以激发创造性思维来研究21世纪家庭所面临的许多严峻问题。
爱和情感连系奈杰尔·贝诺克瑞提斯1爱,对于人类的生存是不可或缺的。
它既是一种情感,又是一种行为。
家庭通常是我们最早和最重要的爱和情感支持的来源。
众所周知,缺乏爱的婴幼儿会产生各种各样的问题,如抑郁症、头痛、生理残疾、神经质或身心疾病,这些病有时会伴随他们一生。
而对比之下,拥有爱和拥抱的婴儿通常体重增加得快,哭得少,而笑得多。
到了五岁时,他们的智商和语言测试的分数明显比前一类儿童高得多。
2很多研究发现婴儿获得关爱的质量会影响到他们以后的交友,在学校的表现,如何应对陌生的或可能充满压力的情况,以及他们成年后如何建立并且维系情感连系。
正是因为这些原因,人们与家庭成员的早期亲密关系才如此至关重要。
在人情冷漠的环境中(如孤儿院,某些寄养家庭,或缺乏关爱的家庭)长大的孩子会出现情感和社会性发育不良,语言和运动技能迟缓,以及精神健康问题。
3对自己的爱,或者说自爱,对我们的社会性和情感发展也是至关重要的。
女演员梅·韦斯特曾说过,“我从没有像爱自己那样爱过别人。
”虽然这样的话听起来似乎有些以自我为中心,实际上却是相当有见地。
社会学家将自爱描述为自尊的一个重要基础。
从别的方面来说,自我喜欢的人更乐于接受批评,对别人的要求也不那么苛刻。
弗罗姆(1956)认为自爱是爱别人的先决条件。
不喜欢自己的人也许不懂得回报爱,而却有可能不停地寻找爱的关系来改变卑微的自我形象。
那么到底什么是爱?是什么让人们走到一起?4爱是一个难以描述的概念。
我们都经历过爱,觉得我们知道爱是什么,然而当被问到什么是爱时,人们给出的答案却不尽相同,比如一个九岁的男孩说,“爱像雪崩,你必须快跑才能活命。
