UNIT 1 课文翻译

一位青年男子发现,漫无目的的逛街也会惹官司。误会一场接一场，直到最终他必须出庭受审……

法律小冲突

我平生就一次陷入法律困境。当时被捕并被传上法院的全过程是件相当不愉快的经历，但现在可用此编个好故事。让人非常烦恼的是我被抓和接着在法庭的命运中那些主观武断的情景。

此事大约发生在十二年前的二月份。那里我已中学毕业了几个月，并要等到该年十月份才能上大学。那段时间，我仍住在家中。

一天早晨，我去了里士满，那是离我的地址不远的伦敦郊区。我正在找一份临时工作以便攒点钱去旅行。由于天气晴朗，且无急事，我便悠闲自得地看看商店橱窗，逛逛公园，甚至有时只是呆站着到处观望。很可能是这种明显的无所事事的样子导致了我的不幸。

事情发生的时间是大约十一点半。我正从地方图书馆走出来，本想在那里找一份工作而一无所获。此时看到一位男士从街对面走来，显然打算和我讲话。我猜想他是向我问时间。然而，他说他是警官并要逮捕我。起初，我想这是在开玩笑，但接着又来了一位警察，并穿着警服。我便深信不疑了。

“但为什么呢？”我问。

“到处遛达，有作案嫌疑。”他说。

“作什么案？”我问。

“偷窃，”他说。

“偷什么？”我问。

“牛奶瓶，”他说，还做出非常严肃的样子！

“噢，”我说。

事情的缘由是那一带有许多小窃贼，特别是有从门前台阶上盗奶瓶的小偷。

接着，我犯了一个大错误。那时我正十九岁，头发长而蓬乱，并把自己当作六十年代“逆文化年轻人”的一员。因此，我装着一副冷漠的毫不在乎的样子。所以我说“你们跟踪我多久啦？”说话的腔调尽量装出无所谓有样子，就象随便谈话一样。于是在他们看来我是十分熟悉此类事情，这使他们更加坚信我彻头彻尾是个名声不好的人。

几分钟后，一辆警车来了。

“坐到后排去，”他们说：“把手放在前排椅背上，不要挪动。”

他俩坐在我的两边。这倒不是开玩笑的。

在警察局他们审问了我几个小时。我继续尽力做出深谙世故并对此事习以为常的样子。当他们问我一直在干什么时，我告诉他们我一直在找工作。“啊哈，”我可以看到他们在想，“无业者”。

Unit 2 Fruitful Questions

詹姆斯· 索利斯克描述了他是如何因他的孩子们能用新方法看事物而认清创造性思维的本质的。

获益匪浅的问题 詹姆斯· 索利斯克

不久前的一个晚上在餐桌旁，我的三个孩子--年龄分别为9岁、6岁和4岁--暂时停止争抢食物，腾出时间教我认识什么是范式变换、什么是线性思考的局限以及如何重新看待相关的各种因素。

事情是这样的：当时我们在玩自己那套只动嘴的“哪个不是同一类？”的芝麻街游戏。本来玩这游戏时，孩子们要看三张画并挑出那张不属同一类的画。我说：“来吧，哪个不是同一类，桔子，西红柿，还是草莓？”

老大很快就说出了自以为非常得意的答案：“西红柿，因为其他两种是水果。”我承认这是正确答案，尽管有些纯粹主义者坚决认为西红柿是一种水果。对我们这些从小就被迫吃拌在色拉里的西红柿的人来说，西红柿永远是蔬菜。我正准备再出一道三种东西为一组的题目时，我4岁的孩子说：“正确答案是草莓，因为另外两种是圆的，草莓却不圆。”我怎么能驳斥这种论点呢？

接着，我6岁的孩子说：“不属同一类的是桔子，因为另外两种是红色的。”9岁的孩子不想让弟妹占上风，说道：“不是同一类的也可以是桔子，因为其他两种长在藤上。”

老二把这看作对他发出的挑战。“可以是草莓，因为只有草莓会放在冰淇淋上。”

毫无疑问，这里正发生着什么事儿。这事儿比争抢食物还乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜重要得多。哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心，重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式，我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年做的事。鲁宾·马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰淇淋改名为哈根达斯，在不改变产品的情况下提高了价格，我的孩子们正做着鲁宾·马修斯做过的事。爱德华·詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药，从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗，我的孩子们正做着爱德华·詹纳做过的事。

他不去研究得了天花的患者，而去研究接触天花却从未染上此病的人。他发现他们都患了一种类似天花但比较轻微的疾病：牛痘；牛痘使他们得以防止染上致命的天花。
