Unit 4 十四级台阶人们都说猫有9条命，我倾向于认为这是很可能的，因为我现在正经历着自己的第三次生命，而我还不是猫。

1904年11月，在一个晴朗、寒冷的日子，我的第一次生命开始了，成为一户农家8个孩子中的第6个。

我15岁时父亲去世, 我们全家都为了生计艰辛奔波，苦苦挣扎。

孩子们长大后，一个个娶妻嫁人，只剩下我和一个妹妹赡养和照顾母亲。

母亲晚年时瘫痪，60多岁就过世了。

不久妹妹就嫁了人，我也在当年结了婚。

这时我开始享受自己的第一次生命。

我非常幸福，身体健康，还是一名很出色的运动员。

我和妻子有两个可爱的女儿。

我在圣何塞有份不错的工作，在圣卡洛斯半岛有幢漂亮的房子。

那时的生活好像一场美梦，可好景不长，美梦终止了。

我患上了一种逐渐恶化的进行性运动神经元病，一开始侵袭我的右臂右腿，后来是身体的左侧。

就这样，我的第二次生命开始了...尽管身体有病，但是借助车上安装的特殊设备，我依然每天开车上下班。

我尽力得以保持健康和乐观，在某种程度上，是由于14级台阶。

在说疯话吧？完全不是。

我们家是个错层式建筑，从车库通向厨房门有14级台阶。

这14级台阶是生活的标尺，是我衡量自己的标准，也是我继续生存的挑战。

我觉得如果有一天我无法再提起一只脚登上一级台阶，再痛苦地拖起另一只脚——将这个过程重复14遍，直到精疲力竭（爬上去），那我就完了——到那时我就会承认失败, 然后躺下，等待死亡。

所以我坚持工作，坚持爬越这14级台阶。

时光荏苒，女儿们上了大学，并且幸福地结婚成家。

只剩下我和妻子相依为伴，守在我们那有着14级台阶的漂亮家中。

你们或许会认为，这里行走着一个充满勇气和力量的人, 事实并非如此。

这里一瘸一拐走着的是一个内心痛苦、幻想破灭的跛子。

一个靠着从车库通往后门的14级辛酸的台阶才能保持理智、没有失去妻子、房子和工作的男人。

随着年岁增长，我变得更加失望和沮丧。

1971年8月，在一个漆黑的夜晚，我开始了自己的第三次生命。

那天夜里我起程回家时正在下雨，我缓慢地驾车行驶在一条车辆稀少的路上，狂风骤雨拍打着车身。

Anyone who wants to become successful has to rely mainly on his own efforts. That’s why many American parents encourage their children to do part-time jobs while studying in college or even in high school. This is of great benefit to the young people not only financially but also in the development and formation of character, for in the process of work, they can learn a lot of things which are impossible for them to acquire (= get / obtain) from their textbooks at school.In this story, for instance, the two college sons have to develop management skills quickly in order to get their work done; they have to learn cooperation, team work, efficiency and business ethics (理念)in order to meet the real world’s deadlines. And the two youngest sons have also to learn that “you are never done with books”, because books teach us knowledge and theories which are as important as, if not more important than, practical experience.Written in a humorous style (幽默的风格), the story also tells us as well as all those youngsters that there is no easy way to earn a lot of money in the United States. You have to learn quickly and work hard before you can get your share of money.PrefacePatterns:be unaware of (sth) = be unconscious of (sth)be unaware + that clause = be unconscious +that clause Pattern:involve oneself in / with / into sth = be involved in / with/ intotempt (=induce) sb into doing sth诱惑某人做某事Compare: advertisement / advertisingadvertisement / commercialsPattern:promise sb. to do sthprobably = maybe = perhapsCompare :too … to(否定)only/but/simply/never too …to (强调肯定)1)This text is too difficult to learn.2)This text is simply/but/only/never too difficult to learn.Big Bucks the Easy Way轻轻松松赚大钱buck (American slang = money): ten bucks (=dollars); in the bucks (手头有钱)Lines 1 – 14look into = investigate: look into (=investigate) the matter Pattern: suggest sth to sbavoid (vt.): keep away from (避开; 避免)Pattern: avoid doing sth.

UNIT ELEVENTEXT ONE“WHANG—“WHANG—Boom Boom Boom——Boom Boom—cast delicacy to the winds.” Thus Ezra Pound in a letter to his —cast delicacy to the winds.” Thus Ezra Pound in a letter to his father, urging the old man to help promote his first published collection. It might have been the poet's manifesto.Pound is as divisive a figure today as he was in his own lifetime. For some he was the leading figure of the Modernist movement who redefined what poetry was and could be; and who, in his role as cultural impresario , gave vital impetus to the literary careers of T.S. Eliot, James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis, among others. But for many Pound remains a freak and an embarrassment, a clinical nutcase and vicious anti-Semite who churned out a lot of impenetrable tosh before losing the plot completely.During the second world war he broadcast pro-Fascist radio programmes from Italy and later avoided trial for treason at home only because he was declared insane. On his release from St Elizabeth's Hospital near Washington, DC, he returned to Italy (“America is a lunatic asylum ”), where he died in 1972 age ”), where he died in 1972 aged 87. d 87.David Moody David Moody, , emeritus professor of English at Y ork University University, , makes a strong case for Pound's “generous energy” and the “disruptive, regenerative force of his genius”. His approach (unlike Pound's) is uncontroversial. He follows the poet's progress chronologically from his childhood in Idaho progress chronologically from his childhood in Idaho——still, at the time of his birth in 1885, part of the wild west 1885, part of the wild west——to his conquest of literary London between 1908 and 1920. He marshals Pound's staggering output of poetry poetry, , prose and correspondence to excellent effect, and offers clear, perceptive commentary on it. He helps us to see poems, such as this famous, peculiarly haunting 19-syllable haiku, in a new light:The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals on a wet, black bough.That Mr Moody is constantly being upstaged by the subject of his study is not surprising. Pound was one of the most colourful artistic figures in a period full of them.According to Ford Madox Ford, who became a good friend of Pound's shortly after the bumptious young American arriv arrived ed in London: “Ezra would approach with the step of a dancer, making passes with a cane at an imaginary opponent. He would wear trousers made of green billiard cloth, a pink coat, a blue shirt, a tie hand-painted by a Japanese friend, an immense sombrero , a flaming beard cut to a point and a single large blue earring.” W.B. Y eats's simple assessment was that: “There is no younger generation of poets. E.P. is a solitary volcano.”A great merit of Mr Moody's approach is the space he gives to Pound's writings. It is love-it-or-hate-love-it-or-hate-it stuff, but, either way, undeniably fascinating. “All good art is realism of one kind it stuff, but, either way, undeniably fascinating. “All good art is realism of one kind or another,” Pound said. Reconciling that tidy statement with practically any of his poems is hard work but, as Mr Moody shows over and over again, hard work that offers huge rewards. His first volume ends in 1920, with Pound quitting London in a huff, finally fed up up——after more than adecade of doing everything in his power to rattle the intellectual establishment establishment—with —with “British insensitivity to, an insensitivity to, and irritation with, mental agility d irritation with, mental agility in any and every form”. His disgraceful radio programmes and the full blooming of his loopiness lie ahead. So, too, do most of his exquisite Cantos.1.
