他对玛丽说:“该回家了,玛丽。
”32.玛丽伸直了腰,不过她实在太累了,没有力气回答马丁的话。
她疲意地看了马丁一眼,觉得自打他俩清晨从家里出来,好像已经过了好多年了。
然后这时她又想到要走回家的路程,想 到了到家以后要喂猪,要赶鸡鸭回窝,还要做晚饭,种种家务活都等着她去干。
刹那间她脑 子里闪过一种抗拒的念头,真不愿再忍受一个农妇繁重的劳役。
但这种情绪也就一闪而过。
马丁边穿衣服边和她说:33.“哈!今天成绩不错。
种完了五垄地,垄垄都像钢条一样笔直。
上帝可以作证,玛丽,说你完全有理由为给马丁 •德莱尼当老婆感到自豪,这话不是吹牛吧。
不过我说得也不全面,老婆。
今天这个幸运的日子,你干的那份活,也比村里别的所有女人干得都好。
”34.他们静静地又站了一会儿,看着他们种完的地。
她和丈夫共同完成的工作,让玛丽感到无比的甜美和由衷的舒畅,浑身都舒服,顿时,她所有的不满和疲劳感都烟消云散了。
这些活是 他俩一起干的。
他们在地里一起播下了种子。
明天,明天的明天,一辈子,每到春天来临,他俩都会弯腰播种,直至两人的手和全身的骨头都因关节炎而变形。
不过一到夜晚降临,睡眠会使他们忘却白天的艰辛。
35.在他们慢步回家的路上,马丁走在前面,和另外一位农民伙伴谈论自家春播的事情,玛丽跟在他身后,两眼瞅着地,独自思忖着。
远处传来母牛哞哞的叫声。

the plane clipped it at a moment of high traffic, one routine thus intersecting another and disrupting both. Then, too, there was the location of the event. Washington, the city of form and regulations, turned chaotic, deregulated, by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal. The jets from Washington National Airport that normally swoop around the presidential monuments like famished gulls are, for the moment, emblemized by the one that fell; so there is that detail. And there was the aesthetic clash as well—blue-and-green Air Florida, the name a flying garden, sunk down among gray chunks in a black river. All that was worth noticing, to be sure. Still, there was nothing very special in any of it, except death, which, while always special, does not necessarily bring millions to tears or to attention. Why, then, the shock here?就这次灾难而言,这次灾难和其他灾难一样很严重,但并不特殊,当然也绝对不在美国有记载的伤亡人数最多的空难之列。
大学英语精读二册4课(中英对照)UNIT 4. My First JobTrying to make some money before entering university, the author applies for a teaching job. But the interview面试goes from bad to worse...为了想在进大学前赚些钱,作者申请了一份教职。
但面试情况却越来越糟……My First Job我的第一份工作While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper地方报纸a teaching post教学职位at a school in a suburb郊区of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied 申请, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim 微薄.在我等着进大学期间,我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告,说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区,有所学校要招聘一名教师。
我因为手头很拮据,同时也想做点有用的事,于是便提出了申请,但在提出申请的同时我也担心,自己一无学位,二无教学经验,得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。

又是一个新学年——为什么上大学约翰·齐阿迪1 让我来给你们讲讲我在刚开始教书生涯时所遭到的一次惨败。
那是1940年1月,我刚从研究生院毕业,在堪萨斯大学开始第一个学期的执教。
有这么一个学生,瘦高个,样子活像一根长着头发的豆架。
他走进课堂,坐了下来,双臂交叉抱在胸前,看了看我,就像在说:“好吧,那就教我点什么吧。
”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。
又过了三周,他走进我的办公室,双手放在臀部(双手叉腰),“你知道,”他说,“我来这儿是为了当药剂师。
我干嘛要念这些玩意儿?”因为连书都没带,他就指着我桌上的那本书说。
2 尽管我刚当老师,但我也蛮可以告诉此兄好些道理。
我本可以指出,他来报名的地方不是一家药剂学校,而是一所大学。
学业完成时他将获得一纸文凭,上面写的将是理科学士学位,而不会写“合格的捣药技术员”。
这一纸文凭不仅会证明他专修过药剂学,还会证明他受到过人类文明思想的熏陶。
也就是说,他进的不是一家技校,而是一所大学。
在大学里,学生既要接受专业训练,又要接受人文教育。
3 我本可以给他讲这一大通道理,但显然他在大学待不了多久,不会把我的话当回事。
4 不过当时我年轻气盛,责任感很强。
于是我就试着这么和他说:“在你日后的生活中,你一天的时间大概平均算下来是二十四小时,恋爱的时候会短些,失恋的时候会长些,但平均数基本上保持不变。
这中间有八个小时左右,你在睡觉。
”5 “然后在大概八个小时的每个工作日里,你会——但愿你会——努力从事有益的工作。
假设你已经上完药剂师学校,或工程、法律学校,或随便其他什么学校,在那八小时内你将运用你的专业技能。
你要做的是确保别因自己技艺不精而把氰化物掺进阿司匹林,或让公牛跃过你修建的篱笆,或因为你的无能而把你的委托人送上电椅。
这些都是有用的职业。
这些工作都需要人人应该尊重的技能,也能给你带来基本的满足感。
不说别的,很可能你要靠它们来养家糊口(换取餐桌的食物,养活你的妻子,养育你的子女)。

Learn more about the function and use of except1 Study and summarize the use of except functioning as conjunction and preposition. The word "except" in these 10 sentences is either used as preposition or conjunction.1 As preposition, both "except" and "except for" are used to introduce the only person, thing, action, fact, or situation about which a statement is not true. There is no difference between "except" and "except for" except that at the beginning of a sentence, you must use "except for."2 As conjunction, "except" is not used by itself to introduce a clause, and it is used with that or a w/z-word (what/when/where/if, etc.).3 "Except" is often used with a prepositional phrase, e.g. except in/by/to, etc. •4 "Except" is also often used with an infinitive phrase with or without "to."1. except + prepositional phrase2. except +1ha/-clause3. except + noun phrase4. except + to-infinitive phrase5. except for + noun phrase6. except + fo-infinitive phrase7. except for + noun phrase8. except + when-clause shortened9. except + prepositional phrase10. except + that-clause2 Complete the sentences by translating the Chinese in brackets using except.1. except an explosion2. except to play a guitar3. except (to) relieve his pain4. except for about five minutes5. anything except in music6. except maybe to those who were dying7. except in our memory, except in our expectations of it8. except that yours are a little more radical9. except in sleep/dreams10. except how they got to know the criminal's exact whereabouts3 Translate these sentences using except.1.

Study and analyze the grammatical structure of these involved sentences.1. This is a compound complex sentence. The two coordinate clauses are connected by conjunction "and."

This is also a compound complex sentence. The two coordinating clauses are connected by "but." They are:1) The park is now framed... by the city... (Here "enveloped even" is a parenthetical remark.)2) ... there was no escaping the recognition that this city... was very beautiful, ("com man-made, glaringly obtrusive, consuming wasteful and staggering quantities electricity and water and energy": This can be considered a shortened concession clawwith the conjunction "though" omitted.)4.
