The Splendor of the Lake District坐落于英格兰西部一角的湖区是无可比拟的。
在这个仅有30里的角落里,英格兰最高耸险峻的山与最广阔幽深的湖紧紧依偎在一起,构成了最壮观美丽的风景。
令人敬畏的山峰和连绵起伏的丘陵耸立于绿意盎然的山谷中。
羊儿在不满苔藓的干石墙边闲适地啃食青草。
现在这个风景秀丽的乡村一角作为国家湖区公园成为英国景区的典范。
这里的风景布局完美紧凑,所以当人们大步流星地走在布满青草的山坡上时,可以观赏到脚下群山倒映于水中的壮丽平和的景象。
湖区有着很长的一段历史,由火山、地震和冰河世纪形成的壮观景象留下了险峻的火山岩山峰、美丽的褶皱景象以及其妙的冰川时代之谷。
高耸于凯斯维克之上的克斯尔里格怪石圈能够唤起人们对早期定居者以及它们被巍峨群山包围着的聚居地的回忆。
很多人被湖区独特的魅力所吸引,但当时却很少有人知道这个国家最一流的作家都热爱并居住在这里。
在格拉斯米尔的鸽舍,诗人威廉•华兹华斯与她的妹妹多萝西、妻子玛丽和最大的三个孩子生活在这儿。
当布谷鸟的钟声敲出和谐的乐音时,来访者轻叩了前门,然后坐在深窗边沿的座椅上,或者坐在壁炉旁,细细读起了多萝西那周的日记。
1802年的一个宜人的春天,多萝茜一次漫步时细数Ullwater边随风摇曳的场景,激发了他最著名诗歌的创作灵感。
小小的鸽舍里,那布满黑斑的墙壁见证了华兹华斯在狭小的厨房里自制蜡烛的熏烟。
“它们燃烧时发出刺鼻的烟味是由于羊肉里含有丰富的油脂。
”导游Ester Rutter若有所思地解释道:“因此蜡烛的光微弱,也让他们的视力变差。
华兹华斯漫步于山间田园时创作了大量的诗歌。
”相较于由华兹华斯勾勒出的山间上那极美的四英亩海德山花园,这个鸽舍后小而陡的花园也是简单中不失雅致。
透过那依然陈列在达芙鸽舍里厚厚的镜片细看鸽舍里陈列着的家具,古董还有肖像画,只要你一点想象就能看到华兹华斯在其间创作。
湖区的天然美景也吸引了其他的文学巨匠们,像毕翠克丝~波特,她像个孩子一样热爱着这片土地,在1905年买下了如田园诗般的农屋,名为Hill Top. 她把这个房子留给了国民托管组织,并且要求这里的家具,图书室和美丽的花园应该保持原样,所以,今天参观者们可以在这个唤起回忆的房子里,轻手轻脚地拿着曾经给予作者灵感的插图画如《母鸭杰米玛的故事》的副本进行实物对比。
Unit11.Those memories of forking out thousands of pounds a year so that he could eat well andgo to the odd party,began to fade.那些每年为孩子支付费用让他可以吃好参加新奇排队的记忆开始慢慢消退。
2.This former scion of Generation Y has morphed overnight into a member of Generation Grunt.这位前“千玺一代”的后裔一夜之间变成哼哼唧唧的一代的成员3.I passed the exams,but at the interviews they accused me of being‗too detached‘and talking in language that was‗too technocratic‘,which I didn‘t think possible, but obviously it is我通过了考试,但是面试时他们却谴责我太冷漠,讲话像技术政治论者,我不这样认为,但显然我的确是这样的。
4.For the rest it is9-to-5―chilling‖before heading to the pub.其余的都是朝九晚五的“无所事事”,晚上去酒吧喝酒打发时间。
5.I went to a comprehensive and I worked my backside off to go to the gooduniversity.我上的是一所综合性中学,我拼命读书才考上一所好的大学。
6.but having worked full-time since leaving school herself,she and her husband find it tricky to advise him on how to proceed.她自从离开学校就开始做全职工作,因此她和她的丈夫发现建议孩子如何继续找工作是件很棘手的事情7.Carry on life as normal and don‘t allow them to abuse your bank account or sap your reserves of emotional energy父母要过正常的生活,不要让孩子滥用你的银行卡或榨干你的情感能量8.After that the son or daughter needs to be nudged firmly back into theSaddle.在这之后,儿女就该被父母坚决要求继续求职9.If you ask me,real life is not all it‘s cracked up to be.Twelve years at school and three years at university,teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wideworld beyond our sheltered life as students,and what do I find?依我看,现实生活并没有人们想象的那么美好。
Unit 6个性和对生活的看法是因人而异的。
从生物宿命论(biological determinism)的观点来看,一个人是无法逃脱基因特质的。
从社会宿命论(social determinism)的观点来看,一个人则无法逃脱社会环境,或者说,他的世界观基本上受其经济社会地位支配。
在古代,人们认为人体内有四种体液(the cardinal humors),即血液(blood)、黏液(phlegm)、胆汁(choler) 和黑胆汁(black bile),这四种体液在一个人身上的比例决定了一个人的脾性。
因此,如果我们大多数人不是独自生活在荒野里,我们肯定要与不同个性和世界观的人发生各种联系。
为享有舒适的环境,我们应该努力使这些关系更加和谐。
首先,我们应该欣赏多样性,而不是为多样性感到苦恼。
第二,我们绝不可干涉别人的私事;绝不可嘲笑别人的品味。
第三,我们应该为别人有着不同于我们追求的喜好而感到高兴。
第四,我们应该尽量避免很有可能引起争论的话题。
第五,我们不应希望像两个律师或政治家一样彼此没完没了地摆道理来解决一切问题。
第六,我们应该记住美德和智慧可能有多种形式。
第七,我们应该尽量避免引起坏脾气的各种途径和原因。
当然,我们只是提供了几条努力构建和谐人际关系的原则,你还可以根据你的生活经历加上一些新的原则。
Personalities and views on life vary f rom individual to individual. In the light of biologic al determinism, one can not escape from hereditary traits. In the light of social determinism, one can not escape from social environment; in other words, one’s world outlook is largely determined by his economic-social status. In ancient times, people were believed to have four different cardinal humors, namely blood, phlegm, choler and black bile, whose relative proportions in a person determined his mental qualities. Therefore, if most of us should not live alone in a wilderness, we are sure to have various relations with people of different personalities and world outlooks. We should endeavor to make these relations more harmonious so as to enjoy more comfortable surroundings. Firstly we should appreciate diversities rather than feel distressed by diversities. Secondly, we should never intrude on others’ privacy, or never ridicule others , tastes. Thirdly, we should take delight in others ’ pursuits different from our own. Fourthly,we should avoid as far as possible having subjects which are most likely to cause disputation. Fifthly, we should not wish to settle everything by contending endlessly with each other just like two lawyers or two politicians. Sixthly, we should remember that virtues and wisdom may be displayed in various forms. Seventhly, we should cut off as far as possible the means and causes of ill-temper. Of course , we have only offered a list of principles in an effort to build up harmonious relationships between people, and you may add more to the list from your own life experiences.Unit 7作者认为,国际主义情怀与世界主义情怀有着根本的差异。
UNIT41. Think for a moment about your own life — the activities of your day, the possessions you enjoy, the surroundings in which you live. Is there anything you don’t have at this moment that you would like to have? Anything that you have, but that you would like more of? If your answer is “no,” then congratulations — either you are well advanced on the path of Zen self-denial, or else you are a close relative of Ted Turner . The rest of us, however, would benefit from an increase in our material standard of living. This simple truth is at the very core of economics. It can be restated this way: we all face the problem of scarcity.2 Almost everything in your daily life is scarce. You would benefit from a larger room or apartment, so you have a scarcity of space. You have only two pairs of shoes and could use a third for hiking; you have a scarcity of shoes. You would love to take a trip to Chicago, but it is difficult for you to find the time or the money to go — trips to Chicago are scarce.3 Because of scarcity, each of us is forced to make choices. We must allocate our scarce time to different activities: work, play, education, sleep, shopping, and more. We must allocate our scarce spending power among different goods and services: food, furniture, movies, long-distance phone calls, and many others.4 Economists study the choices we make as individuals and how those choices shape our economy. For example, the goods that each of us decides to buy ultimately determine which goods business firms will produce. This, in turn, explains which firms and industries will hire new workers and which will lay them off.5. Economists also study the more subtle and indirect effects of individual choice on our society. Will most Americans continue to live in houses, or — like Europeans will most of us end up in apartments? Will we have an educated and well-informed citizenry? Will museums and libraries be forced to close down? Will traffic congestion in our cities continue to worsen, or is there relief in sight? These questions hinge, in large part, on the separate decisions of millions of people. To answer them requires an understanding of how people make choices under conditions of scarcity.6. Think for a moment about the goals of our society. We want a high standard of living for all citizens: clean air, safe streets, and good schools. What is holding us back from accomplishing all of these goals in a way that would satisfy everyone? You probably already know the answer: scarcity. 1. 想一想你的生活:你每天从事的活动,你所拥有的财产,你所居住的环境。

So I thought I'd spend the night in Central Park, and, having stuffed my small rucksack with a sleeping bag, a big bottle of mineral water, a map, and a toothbrush, I arrived one heavy, muggy Friday evening in July to do just that: to walk around until I got so tired that I'd curl up under a tree and drop off to a peaceful, outdoorsy sleep. Of course, anybody who knows anything about New York knows the city's essential platitude—that you don't wander around Central Park at night—and in that, needless to say, was the appeal: it was the thing you don't do. And, from what I can tell, it has always been the thing you don't do, ever since the Park's founding commissioners, nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, decided that the place should be closed at night. Ogden Nash observed in 1961:就这样,我打算在中央公园过夜,于是便往背包里塞了一个睡袋、一大瓶矿泉水、一张地图和一支牙刷,在七月份一个极其闷热潮湿的周五傍晚赶到了这里。
Unit 1Never Give In, Never, Never, NeverWinston ChurchillAlmost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master's kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world—ups and downs, misfortunes—but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months—if it takes years—they do it.Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must "... meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same."You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period—I am addressing myself to the school—surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and goodsense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our school history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.You sang here a verse of a school song: you sang that extra verse written in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter—I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: "Not less we praise in darker days."I have obtained the Head Master's permission to alter darker to sterner. "Not less we praise in sterner days."Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days—the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不温斯顿·丘吉尔1 将近一年前,应贵校校长盛情邀请,我来到这里唱了几首我们自己的歌曲,既为自己加油,也为一些朋友打气。

Unit1我知道,不管发生什么情况,我都可以依靠兄弟的支持。
I knew I could rely on my brother to stand by me whatever happened.一般来说,年轻一代与老一辈不同,他们对现在而不是过去更感兴趣。
但这两代人如果不互相尊重对方的需要,就会遭受损失。
As a general rule,unlike the older generation,the younger generation tends to be more interested in the present rather than the past,but both generations will stand to lose if they do not respect the other’s needs.中国的书面文字是国家完整统一的一个重要因素。
The Chinese written language has been a major factor for integrating the whole nation.在中国的传统艺术和文字中,竹子和松树往往象征着道德上的正直和刚正不阿。

这两条规则同等重要。
Democracy means that the majority rules. But that’s not all. Respect for the minority’s right to disagree is also an integral part of democracy. The two rules are of equal importance.一个国家不可能强大,除非她不但在地理上,而且在政治、经济和文化上都是一个整体。
第一单元绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不丘吉尔1距离上次你们校长盛情邀请我来这里已经快一年了,上次来是为了通过演唱我们自己的校歌来鼓舞我自己以及其他一些朋友的心灵的。
在过去的十个月里,世界上发生了许多极为悲惨的事情——起起伏伏,多灾多难——但今天下午,这个十月的下午,在座的有谁能对过去这段时间所发生的事情以及我们国家和家园所发生的巨大改进不充满感激之情?是啊,当上次我来这里的时候,我们都非常的孤独,充满了绝望的孤独,这种状况持续了大约五六个月。
我们当时的装备很差,而如今我们的装备已不再这么差了;但当时我们的装备的确非常差。
我们受到了敌人的巨大威胁,他们的空袭至今仍在我们头顶上轰鸣,你们大家一定经历过这种空袭;我想你们大家一定开始对目前的这种局面感到烦躁,因为这种局面已经持续了很久而毫无转机。
2但我们必须学会正确对待这两种情况:不管是短暂激烈的,还是长期艰难地。
人们通常都认为英国人总是在最后表现得最好。
他们不想从一种危机转入另一种危机;他们不会总是期待战争每一天都会出现好的转机;但当他们慢慢下定决心要结束这一切的时候,那么,即使是要花费几个月,甚至数年的时间,他们也会做的。
3让我们把思绪拉到十个月之前我们在此相遇的情景,然后再转到现在。
另外一个我想我们可以吸取的教训是,表面的东西往往具有欺骗性。
正如吉普林所说的,我们必须“去面对胜利和灾难,并对这两种具有欺骗性的东西保持同样的态度。
”4你很难从事情的表面判断它的走势。
尽管离开了想象力就做不了多少事情,但想象有时候会让事情看起来比实际情况更糟。
那些富有想象力的人会发现很多也许根本就不存在的危险;也许会有更多的危险发生,但这些人同时也要祈求能被赐予额外的勇气来承受这种深远的想象力。
但对所有人来说,毫无疑问,我们在这段时期所经历的——我要告诉你们——从这10个月的经历中所得到的经验就是:绝不屈服,绝不屈服,绝不,绝不,绝不,绝不——屈服于任何东西,不管它是伟大还是渺小,庞大还是细微——除了对荣誉和机智外,都绝不屈服。
Unit 6个性和对生活的看法是因人而异的。
从生物宿命论(biological determinism)的观点来看,一个人是无法逃脱基因特质的。
从社会宿命论(social determinism)的观点来看,一个人则无法逃脱社会环境,或者说,他的世界观基本上受其经济社会地位支配。
在古代,人们认为人体内有四种体液(the cardinal humors),即血液(blood)、黏液(phlegm)、胆汁(choler) 和黑胆汁(black bile),这四种体液在一个人身上的比例决定了一个人的脾性。
因此,如果我们大多数人不是独自生活在荒野里,我们肯定要与不同个性和世界观的人发生各种联系。
为享有舒适的环境,我们应该努力使这些关系更加和谐。
首先,我们应该欣赏多样性,而不是为多样性感到苦恼。
第二,我们绝不可干涉别人的私事;绝不可嘲笑别人的品味。
第三,我们应该为别人有着不同于我们追求的喜好而感到高兴。
第四,我们应该尽量避免很有可能引起争论的话题。
第五,我们不应希望像两个律师或政治家一样彼此没完没了地摆道理来解决一切问题。
第六,我们应该记住美德和智慧可能有多种形式。
第七,我们应该尽量避免引起坏脾气的各种途径和原因。
当然,我们只是提供了几条努力构建和谐人际关系的原则,你还可以根据你的生活经历加上一些新的原则。
Personalities and views on life vary f rom individual to individual. In the light of biologic al determinism, one can not escape from hereditary traits. In the light of social determinism, one can not escape from social environment; in other words, one’s world outlook is largely determined by his economic-social status. In ancient times, people were believed to have four different cardinal humors, namely blood, phlegm, choler and black bile, whose relative proportions in a person determined his mental qualities. Therefore, if most of us should not live alone in a wilderness, we are sure to have various relations with people of different personalities and world outlooks. We should endeavor to make these relations more harmonious so as to enjoy more comfortable surroundings. Firstly we should appreciate diversities rather than feel distressed by diversities. Secondly, we should never intrude on others’ privacy, or never ridicule others , tastes. Thirdly, we should take delight in others ’ pursuits different from our own. Fourthly,we should avoid as far as possible having subjects which are most likely to cause disputation. Fifthly, we should not wish to settle everything by contending endlessly with each other just like two lawyers or two politicians. Sixthly, we should remember that virtues and wisdom may be displayed in various forms. Seventhly, we should cut off as far as possible the means and causes of ill-temper. Of course , we have only offered a list of principles in an effort to build up harmonious relationships between people, and you may add more to the list from your own life experiences.Unit 7作者认为,国际主义情怀与世界主义情怀有着根本的差异。
具有民族主义情怀是培养国际主义精神的先决条件。
国际主义和平主张反对任何形式的战争,不是毁灭各国之后的和平。
他相信,一个人对另—个民族的特性越赞赏,就越不会试图模仿这个民族的特性,因为民族特性非常深刻,无法模仿。
大部分人的问题在于仅仅凭着一些短暂的印象,就对某一个民族的特性作出过于笼统的概括。
另外,我们应该明白,从最宽泛意义上说,语言可以被看做是一个民族的象征标示,因为语言包含了这个民族的生活方式、思维模式以及他们的历史文化背景。
语言和文化相互联系、相互依存。
因此,如果你希望了解某一民族的特性,学习他们的语言、了解他们的文化极其重要。
The author holds that there is an essential difference between being international and being cosmopolitan. Being national is an essential prerequisite of fostering international spirit. International peace advocates opposition to war in any form and not a peace after the destruction of nations. He believes that the more a man really appreciates and admires the character of another nation, the less he will attempt to imitate it, for it is too deep to imitate. The problem with most people is that they tend to make a sweeping generalization of the character of a particular nation just based on some fleeting impressions. In addition, we should understand that language could be deemed as the symbolic designation of a people in the broadest sense, for it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their way of thinking. Language and culture are interrelated with and interdependent upon each other. Therefore, it is extremely important to study their language and acquire knowledge of their culture if you wish to understand the character of a certain nation.Unit 10林语堂在论人性时,详述了人的尊严。
他说,人类之所以优于其他一切生物,因为人类具有由几个要素构成的尊严。
首先,人有带有游戏意味的好奇心,这种好奇心可以看做是人类发展智慧的最早迹象。
第二,人类有梦幻。
人生活在一个真实的世界里,却有着梦想另一个世界的能力和倾向。
他说,世界就像一个点菜餐馆,每个人都认为邻座点的菜肴总比自己点的菜肴更加诱人、更加可口。
第三,人类有幽默感。
他给幽默感很高的评价。
他认为,幽默与敏锐的感觉、合乎情理的精神以及头脑探知矛盾、愚蠢和糟糕逻辑的微妙能力联系在一起。
幽默是人类智能的最高形式。
林语堂还细致讨论了个性主义的理念。
他认为,就文化而言,对某一文化的最后判断是看它产生怎样的男人和女人。
他还用儒家的观点来阐明自己的看法:身修而后家齐,家齐而后国治,国治而后天下平。
When he talks about being human, Lin Yutang elaborates on human dignity. He says that human beings are superior to any other living creatures thanks to human dignity which consists of several elements. First of all, human beings have playful curiosity, which could be the first signs of developing human intelligence. Secondly, human beings have dreams. A man has the capacity and tendency to dream of another world though living in a real world. He says that the world is just like an a la carte restaurant where everybody thinks that the food the next table has ordered is invariably much more inviting and delicious than his own. Thirdly, human beings have a sense of humor. He eulogizes humor immensely, thinking that humor goes with good sense and the reasonable spirit, plus some subtle power of the mind in detecting inconsistencies and follies and bad logic. Humor is the highest form of human intelligence. Lin Yutang also talks in detail about the doctrine of the individual. He holds that the final judgment of any particular culture is what type of men andwomen it turns out as far as culture is concerned. He also uses the argument of Confucianism to illustrate his own point that when personal life is cultivated, then home life is regulated; when home life is regulated then national life is regulated, then theworld is at peace.Unit 14科学领域的人与艺术领域的人表现出相互不理解,甚至相互厌恶。
