Library Work1. ChesterfieldPhilip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl (伯爵) of Chesterfield , (1694-1773), English statesman, orator and author. His literary reputation rests upon his letters to his illegitimate son (私生子), Philip Stanhope, who was born in Holland in 1732. The letters, filled with wit and worldly wisdom, were published under the title Letters to His Son and Letters to His Godson (1774). Chesterfield's fame as a man of letters rests upon a series of letters, published after his death, that give a faithful account of the manners and customs of aristocratic society in 18th-century England, written in a graceful and witty style.‘M y object is to have you fit to life; which, if you are not, I do not desire that you should live at all.? So wrote Lord Chesterfield in one of the most celebrated and controversial correspondences between a father and his son. Chesterfield wrotealmost daily to his natural son, Philip, from 1737 onwards, providing him with instruction in etiquette and the worldly arts. Praised in their day as a complete manual of education, and despised by Samuel Johnson for teaching …the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing master?, these letters reflect the political craft of a leading statesman, and the urbane wit of a man who associated with Pope, Addison, and Swift. The letters reveal C hesterfield?s political cynicism and his belief that his country had …always been governed by the only two or three people, out of two or three millions, totally incapable of governing?, as well as his views on good breeding. Not originally intended for publication, this entertaining correspondence illuminates fascinating aspects of eighteenth-century life and manners.2. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English writer and lexicographer, a major figure in 18th-century literature as an arbiter of taste, renowned for the force and balance of his prose style.Nicknamed both Dictionary Johnson and the Great Cham of Literature (Cham is an archaic word meaning Khan可汗), Johnson compiled and wrotethe Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1755. He was usually referred to as Dr. Johnson by his contemporaries and later generations.He was equally celebrated for his brilliant and witty conversation. His rather gross appearance and manners were viewed tolerantly, if not with a certain admiration.The son of a bookseller, Johnson excelled at school in spite of illness and poverty. He entered Oxford in 1728 but was forced to leave after a year for lack of funds. He sustained himself as a bookseller and schoolmaster for the next six years, during which he continued his wide reading and published some translations. Johnson settled in London in 1737 and began his literary career in earnest. His poem “London,” published anonymously in1738, was praised by Pope and won Johnson recognition in literary circl es. Johnson?s first work of lasting importance, and the one that permanently established his reputation in his own time, washis Dictionary of the English Language (1755), the first comprehensive lexicographical work on English ever undertaken. Dr. Johnson, as he is universally known, was England?s first full-dress man of letters （学者）, and his mind and personality helped to create the traditions that have guided English taste and criticism.StructureSection I (paragraph 1)The theme: Procrastination is not always a non-recommendable practice.Section II (paragraph 2-8)Grounds of argument:Delayers and do-it-nowers (paragraph 2)Delay can inspire and revive a creative soul in many fields (paragraph 3-8)3) in the process of making fictions4) in the field of military, diplomacy and law5) in the higher rank of business6) in decision making7) in universities8) among many people , especially womenSection III (paragraph 9)Conclusion: What you don?t necessarily have to do today, by all means put off till tomorrow.课文译文第二单元推迟的艺术"今天能做的事情决不要推到明天。

Paraphrase the parts underlined in the following:So the letter which you asked me to write on my uncle’s death has made you eager to hear about the terrors and also the hazards I had to face 1when left at Misenum, for I 2broke off at the beginning of this part of my story.I took a bath, dined, and then dozed 3fitfully for a while. For several days past there had been earth 4tremors which were not particularly alarming because they are frequent in Campania: but that night the shocks were so violent that everything fell as if it were not only shaken but overturned.I don’t know whether I sh ould call this courage or 5folly on my part (I was only seventeen at the time) but I 6called for a volume of Livy and went on reading as if I had nothing else to do.Up came a friend of my uncle’s who had just come from Spain to join him. When he saw us sitting there and me actually reading, he scolded us both —me for my 7foolhardiness and my mother for allowing it.By now it was dawn [25 August in the year 79], but the light was still dim and 8faint. The buildings round us were already 9tottering, and the open space we were in was too small for us not to be in real and 10imminent danger if the house collapsed. This finally 11decided us to leave the town. We were followed by a panic- stricken mob of people wanting to act on someone else’s decision 12in preference to their own (a point in which fear looks like 13prudence), who 14hurried us on our way by pressing hard behind in a dense crowd.We also saw the sea sucked away and apparently forced back by the earthquake: at any rate it receded from the shore so that 15quantities of sea creatures were left 16stranded on dry sand. On the landward side a fearful black cloud was 17rent by forked and quivering bursts of flame, and parted to reveal great tongues of fire, like flashes of lightning magnified in size.At t his point my uncle’s friend from Spain 18spoke up still more urgently: “If your brother, if your uncle is still alive, he will want you both to be saved; if he is dead, he would want you to survive him so why put off your escape?”Soon afterwards the cloud sank down to earth and covered the sea; it had already 19blotted out Capri and hidden the promontory of Misenum from sight. Then my mother 20implored, entreated, and commanded me to escape as best I couldI looked round: a dense black cloud was coming up behind us, spreading over the earth like a flood. “Let us leave the road while we can still see,” I said, “or we shall be knocked down and 21trampled underfoot in the dark by the crowd behind.”You could hear the shrieks of women, the 22wailing of infants, and the shouting of men; some were calling their parents, others their children or their wives, trying to recognize them by their voices. People 23bewailed their own fate or that of their relatives, and there were some who 24prayed for death in their terror of dying. Many 25besought the aid of the gods, but still more imagined there were no gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness forevermore. There were people, too, who 26added to the real perils byinventing 27fictitious dangers: some reported that part of Misenum had collapsed or another part was on fire, and though their tales were false they found others to believe them. A 28gleam of light returned, but we took this to be a warning of the approaching flames rather than daylight.I could boast that not a groan or cry of fear 29escaped me in these perils, 30had I not derived some poor consolation in my mortal lot from the belief that the whole world was dying with me and I with it.We returned to Misenum where we 31attended to our physical needs as best we could, and then spent an anxious night alternating between hope and fear.II. Rewrite the followingFor each of the sentences below, write a new sentence as close in meaning as possible to the original sentence by using the given words as the beginning.1. We were followed by a panic-stricken mob of people wanting to act on someone else’s decision in preference to their own, who hurried us on our way by pressing hard behind in a dense crowd.Panic-stricken, the mob of people close behind us ___________ _ 2.
