第二册lesson 11 The Future of The English英国人的未来J . B. Priestley JB 普里斯特利1 【To write about the English in standard and cosmopolitan political terms, the usual Left-Centre-Right stuff, is almost always wasting time and trouble. The English are different. The English are even more different than they think they are, though not more different than they feel they are. And what they feel —Englishness again - is more important than what they think. It is instinctive feeling and not rational thought that shapes and colours actual events in England. 背诵】述来描,即左、中、右三派这种毫无意义的陈腔老调若想用世界上流行的标准政治术语。
英国人可是与众不同。
他们甚至比自己想象中英国人的话,那多半是白费时间,徒耗精力感觉到的⋯这一点再的英国人还要不同,倒是同他们自己感觉中的英国人差不多。
而他们所次反映出英国人的特性——比他们想象到的更为重要。
在英国,决定一切事物形式和色彩的不是人的理性思维,而是人的本能感觉。
cosmopolitan (adj.) : common to or representative of all or many parts of the world ;not national or local 世界性的;不限于国家或地区范围的----------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 For example, although the English seem to be so sharply divided, always indulging in plenty of loud political abuse, there are nothing like so many Communists or neo- or potential Fascists in England as there are in most other countries. Again, although the English seem to have more than their share of rallies , protest marches, confrontations with authority, what could begin to look like a murderous encounter in France or America, or might be a bloody street battle in Japan, would in England end at the worst ina few scuffle s and arrests. This is because there are fewer fanatical believers among the English, and at the same time, below the noisy arguments, the abuse and the quarrels, there is a reservoir of instinctive fellow-feeling, not yet exhausted though it may not befilling up. Not everybody can draw on that reservoir. No doubt there are in England some snarl i ng shop steward s who demandfreedom for the workers when what they really want is to bring the whole system crashing down, together with every guarantee of liberty. No doubt there are wealthy employers who smile at the TV cameras and declare that all they desire is the friendliest relation with their work force, when at heart they would like to take a whipto the whole idle troublesome mob of them. But there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor, and theyare certainly not typical English. Some cancer in their character haseaten away their Englishness.举例来说,尽管英国人表面上似乎存在着严重的意见分歧,彼此之间进行政治上的攻击谩骂也是常有的事,但英国却不像许多其他国家一样有那么多的共产主义者以及新的或潜在的法西斯主义分子。

习题全解Ⅰ.Priestley: John Boynton Priestley, English novelist, dramatist and critic, was born on 13. Sept. 1894, in Bradford, Yourkshire. He was the son of a schoolmaster and served in the British army during World War 1 . After the end of the war he attended Cambridge, where he studied English literature, modern history, and political science. Already publishing, he was able to finance a good deal of his schooling by selling articles to London and provincial newspapers. In 1922 he went to London," where he soon established himself as a critic, essayist and novelist. During World War Ⅱ, Priestley won a huge listening audience with his trenchant, down-to-earth radio broadcasts. In 1929, The Good Companions, a novel about the joys and sorrows of the members of a repertory company in thenorth of England appeared and was enormously popular in both Great Britain and America. In 1930 Priestley published the almost equally successful Angel Pavement, whose characters worked in a small business firm in London. These were followed by other novels: They Walk in the City (1936), The Doomsday men (1938), Let the People Sing (1939), and Festival at Farbridge (1951). These novels -long, often sentimental, packed with living characters testify to Priestley' s astounding power of observation, to his narrative gifts, and to his craftsmanship. He has maintained the great tradition of the English pi- caresque novel with distinction. Priestley also won recognition with his works that combine autobiographical matter with astute left-of-center social criticism, such as English Journey (1934), Rain upon Gad- shill (1939), Thoughts in the Wilderness (1957), and The English(1973). Priestley began his career as a playwright in 1932 with Dangerous Corner which has subsequently been performed all over the world. Its success encouraged Priestley to organize a company for which he wrote plays of a consistently high dramatic standard. Among them were the comedies Laburnum Grove (1933) and When We Are Married (1938). Priestley also wrote serious "metaphysical" dramas Time and the Conways (1937), I Have Been Here Before (1938), Johnson over Jordan (1939), and An Inspector Calls (1945). Priestley has perhaps identified himself more successfully than any other novelist in the first half of the 20th century with the thoughts and feelings of the ordinary Englishman, a being whose character he outlines with vigor and good humor.Ⅱ.1. Everything that happens in England is directed and influenced by instinctive feeling and not rational thought.2. There are fewer Communists or neo- or potential fascists in England than there are in most other countries. Murderous encounters with the police or bloody street battles do not occur in England. From these facts Priestley concludes there are fewer fanatical believers among the English.3. He is referring to some shop stewards and wealthy employers who have lost their Englishness.4. Priestley puts forward five or six points to show that the English are different:1)It is instinctive feeling and not rational thought that shapes and colours actual events in England.2)The English do not feel at home in the con-temporary world, representing theaccelerated development of our whole age. They are suspicious of largeness, severe efficiency and Admass.3) The English are also deeply suspicious of change for changes’ sake.4)The English can soon feel bored and. that' s why they gamble and booze so much and enjoy any dramatic change in public life.5)The English have a sense of community, decent fellow feeling, fairness.6)The English are at heart and at root an imaginative people immediately responsive to any suggestion of drama in their lives.5. Admass stands for ruthless competitiveness, treating men simply as a producer and consumer and playing upon dissatisfaction, greed and envy, while Englishness stands for the invisible inner world, offering states of mind. The out- come of this battle between Admass andEnglishness will decide the future of the English.6. The future of the English may be shaped by the decision of the now vacillating huge trade unions. It will be shaped by the role they decide to play. They must come down decisively either on the side of Admass or that of Englishness.7. The following people have rejected Admass:1)workers in smallish, well-managed and honest enterprises,2)crusty High Tories who avoid the City and directors' fees,3)men and women in the professional classes. The last group of people are the most important for they are articulate and people are ready to listen to them. If the battle with A& mass can be won, it will probably be these men and women who will help Englishness to win it.8. Priestley divides the English younginto two groups. He is dubious about the noisy types, they lack individuality to stand up to Admass. He has more faith in the quieter young, who may have come under the influence of some mature professional men and women. They- too, might help to swing the battle.9. The sloppy people are easy to get along with, rarely unkind, but they are not dependable; they are inept, shiftless, slovenly, and messy. They lack self-discipline, accepting no responsibility, skimping the work they are supposed to be doing, cheating not only "the bosses", the capitalists, but even their neighbors.10. There is widespread boredom in all heavily industrialized societies not simply because so much of the work they offer is boring. It is also because, after having shattered the slow rhythms, the traditional skills, the closely knit communities of rum societies, they crowdpeople together; excite them by large promises that cannot be kept, so drive them into boredom. When the English are bored they gamble and booze a lot. They enjoy any dramatic change in public life, any news that encourages excited talk. Bored teenagers, who have not been able to use up enough energy during the day turn at night to idiot vandalism. Later, if boredom hardens into frustration, some of them take to crime.11. Other elements apart from boredom have brought about dishonesty and vicious criminality in England, There is trying to get rich by any means; there is the false notion that the world owes you something while you owe it nothing; there is no fear of punishment in life or after death as long as you are not found out; and there is the feeling that life is meaningless and purposeless.12. Priestley considers politics veryimportant. If honest people ignore politics, then some unscrupulous dictator may seize power and exercise his tyranny over the people.Ⅲ.1. Yes, there are. Such as: stuff, shop , cozy, nudge, the City, safe to say, take a whip to, shrug off, along the way ,'etc.2. 1 ) The dominant intention or the controversial topic (thesis) of his argument is stated early in paragraph 1 in one succinct sentence: "The English are different”.2) No. Priestley does not provide sufficient evidence to support his position, nor is his reasoning on some points logically sound. Hence not all his issues or conflicts are resolved. This is a rather informal piece of argument, 'so the writer doesn’t marshal enough evidence to prove his points. In fact he appeals more to theemotions of his English readers than to their reason to drive home his point of view.4. See the answer to 3.5.1)See the answer to 3.2)Yes, there' re some fallacies. For example, in his first issue he states that it is instinctive feeling and not rational thought that shapes and colors actual events in England. To support this point of view, Priestley states there are fewer fascists in England than in many other countries. From this the reader concludes more fascists are to be found in countries where rational thought and not instinctive feeling shapes and colors actual events. But one fails to find the logical connection between rational thought and fascism. Furthermore, one has to accept Priestiey’s statement that there are fewer fascists and fanatical believers in England without any supporting evidence or proof.6. See the answer to 3.The reader is moved by the sincerity and intensity of the feelings of the writer and feels that the writer, perhaps, has the right instinctive feeling of what the English are like. Priestley’s smooth and polished style makes the essay a pleasure to read.7. Students’ choice.Ⅳ.1. The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each other but there still exists a lot of natural sympathetic feeling for each other.2. What the wealthy employers would really like to do is to whip all the workers whom they consider to be lazy and troublesome people.3. There are not many snarling shop stewards in the work-shop, nor are there many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governing board ofa factory).4. The contemporary world demands that everything be done on a big scale and the English do not like or trust bigness.5.At least on the surface, when Englishness is put against the power and success of Admass, Englishness 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. T o 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 froma reservoir of strong moral and ethical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservoir of principlescannot supply.10. These people probably believe, as I do, that the 'Good Life' promised by Admass is false and dishonest in all respects.11.They can be found too though there are not many of them now because these kind of people are dying out---among the curt, bad-tempered, extremely conservative politicians who refuse to accept high posts in big commercial enterprises.12. They are incompetent, lazy and inefficient, careless and untidy.13. 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.14. These people think of the House of Commons as a place rather far awaywhere some people are always quarreling and arguing over some small matter.15. 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.Ⅵ.1. reservoir: a supply; especially an extra or reserve supply2. draw on: obtain something from a reserve, store, etc.3. shop steward, a person chosen by his fellow trade unionists in an industrial establishment to speak for them to the management and to watch over their interests4. board of managers; governing board of a factory5. proportion ; relative dimensions6. keep clear of: avoid, refrain from7. overdraft:a)a withdrawal of money from a bank in excess of the amount credited to the drawer;b)the amount with-drawn in excess8. catch: a deception ; surprise ; a hidden qualification ; tricky condition 9.Walk-out: a strike(generally spontaneous and of a short duration) 10.van:the foremost position in a line,movement,field of endeavor,etc.11.count:(1egal term) any of the charges in an indictment,each of which gives a reason and is sufficient for prosecution12.junk:(colloquial) useless—or worthless stuff;trash;rubbish,etc.13.articulate:expressing oneself easily and clearly14.conforming to Madison Avenue:adapting to Admassian life styles asadvocated by Madison Avenue15.ungovernable:unruly;(hair)that is difficult to comb downⅦ.1.instinctive feeling指人生来就具有的感觉。
新概念英语第一册第11课课文及详解Here is an essay on the topic "New Concept English Book 1 Lesson 11 Text and Explanation" with over 1000 words, written in English without any additional punctuation marks in the body of the text.The New Concept English Book 1 Lesson 11 text is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the concept of time and its impact on our lives The lesson begins by introducing the idea that time is a fundamental aspect of our existence and that our perception of time can greatly influence our experiences and perspectives Time is often described as a linear progression with a clear beginning and end but the text challenges this notion by presenting alternative views of time that challenge our preconceptionsOne of the key points made in the text is that time is not a constant or universal phenomenon but rather a subjective experience that can vary greatly depending on individual and cultural factors The text cites examples of how different societies and civilizations have conceptualized time in vastly different ways with some cultures viewing time as cyclical rather than linear and others placing greater emphasis on the present moment rather than the past or future This diversity of perspectives highlights the fact that time is not a fixed orobjective reality but rather a construct that is shaped by our beliefs values and experiencesThe text also explores the psychological and emotional impact of our perception of time Drawing on research in the field of psychology the text discusses how our sense of time can affect our moods our levels of stress and our overall sense of well being For example the text notes that when we are engaged in enjoyable or meaningful activities time can seem to pass quickly whereas when we are bored or anxious time can feel as though it is dragging on endlessly This phenomenon is often referred to as the subjective experience of time and the text suggests that by becoming more aware of our relationship with time we can learn to better manage our emotional responses and improve our overall well beingFurthermore the text delves into the societal and cultural implications of our conception of time It notes that the dominant Western view of time as a linear progression has had a profound impact on the way we organize our lives our work and our social interactions The text suggests that this perspective has led to a heightened sense of urgency and a focus on productivity and efficiency that can sometimes come at the expense of more contemplative or reflective approaches to life The text also explores how different cultures have developed alternative time management strategies that prioritize balance harmony and the present momentrather than constant forward motionIn conclusion the New Concept English Book 1 Lesson 11 text offers a thought provoking and multifaceted exploration of the concept of time It challenges our assumptions about the nature of time and encourages us to consider the ways in which our perception of time shapes our experiences our emotions and our relationships with the world around us By gaining a deeper understanding of the subjective and culturally constructed nature of time the text invites us to reflect on our own relationship with time and to consider how we might cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling approach to living in the present moment。
