Lesson11 The fact that their marriages may be on the rocks, or that their love affairs have been broken or even that they got out of bed on the wrong side is simply not a concern.—metaphor2 They are like the musketeers of Dumas who, although they lived side by side with each other, did not delve into, each other’s lives or the recesses of their thoughts and feelings.—simile3 It was on such an occasion the other evening, as the conversation moved desultorily here and there, from the most commonplace to thoughts of Jupiter, without and focus and with no need for one that suddenly the alchemy of conversation took place, and all at once they was a focus.—metaphor4 The Elizabethans blew on it as on a dandelion clock, and its seeds multiplied, and floated to the ends of the earth.—simile5 Even with the most educated and the most literate, the King’s English slips and slides in conversation.—metaphor ,alliteration6 When E.M. Forster writes of ―the sinister corridor of our age,‖we sit up at the vividness of the phrase, the force and even terror in the image.—metaphorLesson21 The little crowd of mourners –all men and boys, no women—threaded their way across the market place between the piles of pomegranates and the taxis and the camels, wailing a short chant over and over again.—elliptical sentence2 A carpenter sits cross-legged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lightning speed.—historical present, transferred epithet3 Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.—synecdoche4 As the storks flew northward the Negroes were marching southward—a long, dusty column, infantry, screw-gun batteries, and then more infantry, four or five thousand men in all, winding up the road with a clumping of boots and a clatter of iron wheels.—onomatopoetic words symbolism5 Not hostile, not contemptuous, not sullen, not even inquisitive.—elliptical sentence6 And really it was like watching a flock of cattle to see the long column, a mile or two miles of armed men, flowing peacefully up the road, while the great white birds drifted over them in the opposite direction, glittering like scraps of paper.—simileLesson31 Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of these human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and towhich we are committed today at home and around the world.—alliteration2 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, suppor any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.—parataxis consonance3 United, there is little we cannot do in a host of co-operative ventures.

Maybe somehow I could fan them into flame.—metaphor, extended metaphor Lesson51 The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle-aged and curious questionings by the young: memories of the deliciously illicit thrill of the first visit to a speakeasy, of the brave denunciation of Puritan morality, and of the fashionable experimentations in amour in the parked sedan on a country road; questions about the naughty, jazzy parties, the flask-toting‖sheik‖, and the moral and stylistic vagaries of the ―flapper‖and the ―drug-store cowboy‖.—transferred epithet2 Second, in the United States it was reluctantly realized bysome—subconsciously if not openly—that our country was no longer isolated in either politics or tradition and that we had reached an international stature that would forever prevent us from retreating behind the artificial walls of a provincial morality or the geographical protection of our two bordering oceans.—metaphor3 War or no war, as the generations passed, it became increasingly difficult for our young people to accept standards of behavior that bore no relationship to the bustling business medium in which they were expected to battle for success.—metaphor4 The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian social structure, and by precipitation our young people into a pattern of mass murder it released their inhibited violent energies which, after the shooting was over, were turned in both Europe and America to the destruction of an obsolescent nineteenth century society.—metaphor5 The prolonged stalemate of 1915-1916,the increasing insolence of Germany toward the United States, and our official reluctance to declare our status as a belligerent were intolerable to many of our idealistic citizens, and with typical American adventurousness enhanced somewhat by the strenuous jingoism of Theodore Roosevelt, our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.—metonymy6 Their energies had been whipped up and their naive destroyed by the war and now, in sleepy Gopher Prairies all over the country, they were being asked to curb those energies and resume the pose of self-deceiving Victorian innocence that they now felt to be as outmoded as the notion that their fighting had “made the world safe for democracy‖.—metaphor7 After the war, it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pens inflamed against war, Babbittry, and‖Puritanical‖gentility, should flock to the traditional artisticcenter(where living was still cheap in 1919)to pour out their new-found creative strength, to tear down the old world, to flout ht morality of their grandfathers, and to give all to art, love, and sensation.—metonymy synecdoche8 Younger brothers and sisters of the war generation, who had been playing with marbles and dolls during the battles of Belleau Wood and Chateau-Thierry, and who had suffered no real disillusionment or sense of loss, now began to imitate the manners of their elders and play with the toys of vulgar rebellion.—metaphor9 These defects would disappear if only creative art were allowed to show the way to better things, but since the country was blind and deaf to everything save the glint and ring of the dollar, there was little remedy for the sensitive mind but to emigrate to Europe where‖they do things better.‖—personification, metonymy ,synecdocheLesson61 A market for knowingness exists in New York that doesn’t exist for knowledge.—paregmenon2 The condescending view from the fiftieth floor of the city’s crowds below cuts these peopleoff from humanity.—transferred epithet3 So much of well-to-do America now lives antiseptically in enclaves, tranquil andluxurious, that shut out the world. —synecdoche, metaphor。

The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian social structure,…The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.4…it was tempted, in America at least, to escape its responsibilitiesand retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication…In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures illicit,…The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure. 6…our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7…they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up〞.The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended. 8….they had outgrown towns and families…These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give〞…Something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11…it was only natural that hopeful young writers, their minds and pens inflamed against war, Babbittry, and “Puritanical〞gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young writers whose minds and writings were filled with violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should e in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.12. Each town had its 〞fast〞set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.Unit81. ....below the noisy arguments , the abuse and the quarrels , there is a reservoir of instinctive fellow-feeling...The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other , but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feelings for each other in their hearts.2. ....at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them.What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they regard as lazy and troublesome.3....there are not many of these men , either on the board or the shop floor...There are not many snarling shop stewards in the workshop,nor are there many cruel wealthy employers on the board of directors.4. It demands bigness ,and they are suspicious of bigness.The contemporary world demands that everything should be done on a big scale and the English do not trust bigness.5. Against this , at least superficially ,Englishness seems a poor shadowy show...At least on the surface ,when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass , Englishness seems to put up a rather poor performance.6. ...while Englishness is not hostile to change,it is deeply suspicious of change for change‟s sake...Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for change‟s sake and not other useful purposes is very wrong and harmful.7.

In Europe a good waiter and a good actor are equally proud of their social status and functions in society. They are not jealous of each other and do not live in fear of losing their status.7.I was born in New York but have lived only in some small areas of the city8.This process of reconsidering many things that one had taken for granted in the past can be very painful (because you have to admit that some ideas you held were wrong), but is also very valuable and important.9. The life of a writer really depends on accepting the fact that no matter where he goes or what he does he will always carry the marks of his origins.10. American writers live in a mobile society where nothing is fixed so they do not have a fixed society to describe.11. Every society is influenced and directed by unwritten laws, and by many things deeply felt and taken for granted by the people, though notopenly spoken about.Unit71.With a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the city Omelas.The loud ringing of the bells, which sent the frightened swallows flying high, marked the beginning of the Festival of Summer in Omelas.2. ..Their high calls rising like the swallows’crossing flights over the music and singsing.The shouting of the children could be heard clearly above the music and singing like the calls of the swallows flying by overhead.3. ..Exercised their restive horses before the race.The riders were putting the horses through some exercises because the horses were eager to start and stubbornly resisting the control of the riders.4.Given a description such as this one tends to make certain assumptions.After reading the above description the reader is likely to assume certain things.5. This is the treason of artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.An artist betrays his trust when he does not admit that evil is nothing fresh nor novel and pain is very dull and uninteresting.6. They were nature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched.They were fully developed and intelligent grown-up people full of intense feelings and they were not miserable people.7. Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it as your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion.Perhaps it would be best if the reader pictures Omelas to himself as his imagination tells him, assuming his imagination will be equal to the task.8. The faint insistent sweetness of drooz may perfume the way of the city.The faint but pelling sweet scent of the drug drooz may fill the streets of the city.9.Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has bee imbecile through fear, malnutrition and neglect.Perhaps the child was mentally retarded because it was born so or perhaps it has bee very foolish and stupid because of fear, poor nourishment and neglect.10. Its habits are too uncouth for it to respond to humane treatment. The habits of the child are so crude and uncultured that it will show no sign of improvement even if it is treated kindly and tenderly.11. Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality, and to accept it.They shed tears when they see how terribly unjust they have been to the child, but these tears dry up when they realize how just and fair though terrible reality was.12.the existence of the child and their knowledge of its existence is the reason that their buildings are grand and impressive,their music is moving,and their science has great intellectual depth.。

Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King’s English 人类的一切活动中，只有闲谈最宜于增进友情，而且是人类特有的一种活动。

动物之间的信息沟通，不论其方式何等困难，也是称不上交谈的。

闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。

它时而迂回流淌，时而奔腾起伏，时而火花四射，时而热忱洋溢，话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。

要是有人觉得“有些话要说”，那定会大煞风景，使闲聊无趣。

闲聊不是为了进行争辩。

闲聊中常常会有争辩，不过其目的并不是为了劝服对方。

闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢输赢的。

事实上，真正擅长闲聊的人往往是随时打算让步的。

或许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲，但一转瞬大家已谈到别处去了，插话的机会随之而失，他们也就听之任之。

或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的原因吧，我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。

酒馆里的挚友对别人的生活毫无了解，他们只是临时凑到一起来的，彼此并无深交。

他们之中或许有人面临婚因裂开，或恋爱失败，或遇到别的什么不顺心的事儿，但别人根本不管这些。

他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样，虽然日夕相处，却从不过问彼此的私事，也不去揣摸别人内心的隐私。

有一天晚上的情形正是这样。

人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉，从最一般的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。

谈了半天也没有一个中心话题，事实上也不须要有一个中心话题。

可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处，中心话题奇迹般地出现了。

我记不起她那句话是在什么状况下说出来的——她明显不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的，那也不是什么非说不行的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题特别自然地脱口而出的。

“几天前，我听到一个人说‘标准英语’这个词语是带贬义的指责用语，指的是人们应当尽量避开运用的英语。

”此语一出，谈话马上热情起来。

有人赞成，也有人怒斥，还有人则不以为然。

最终，当然少不了要像处理全部这种场合下的看法分歧一样，由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak performance.6. Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just for changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7. To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems to Englishness a public stupidity~8. I must further say that while Englishness can go on fighting, there is a great possibility of Admass winning.9. Englishness draws its strength from a reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principles cannot supply.10. These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11. He will not even find much satisfaction in his untidy and disordered life where he manages to live as a parasite by sponging on people. This kind of life does not help a person to build up any self-respect.12. These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far away where some people are always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.13. If a dictator comes to power, these people then will soon learn in the worst way that they were very wrong to ignore politics for they can now suddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.TranslationA1.他们甚至比自己想象中的英国人还要不同，倒是同他们自己感觉中的英国人差不多。
