自考高英上Lesson3theuseofforce

The use of force大意: Mathilda had been ill for three days. Her mother had given her some medicine, but it didn’t do any good. So they had to ask the doctor to come. There had been a number of cases of diphtheria in Mathilda School and two of them had been dead. When the doctor arrived at Olson’s home, he wanted to examine Mathilda throat first. But no matter how he coaxed, She wouldn’t open her mouth. So the doctor had to get the tongue depressor into her mouth. But Mathilda reduced it to splinters. In orde r to protect Mathilda herself and other children, the doctor had to make sure whether she had diphtheria or not, so that he could treat her in time. Letting Mathilda‘s father hold her wrists he tried his best to open her mouth and found she really had diphtheria. This story made us can think such a question that something in life can’t only depend on self-willingness. Under some circumstances, certain force seems necessary.对医生的评价:After the doctor arrived at the girl’s home, he wanted to see her throat. As there had been a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which the girl went during that month, the doctor also thought that of the girl. So he smiled to the girl and asked her to open her mouth and let him have a look at her throat. No matter how the doctor coaxed, the girl shut her mouth firmly.Thinking that the girl might have diphtheria and possibly die of it, the doctor decided to use force to open her mouth. He had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases. He felt that he must get a diagnosis now. So he grasped the girl’s head with his left hand and tried to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. But when the doctor got the wooden spatula behind her last teeth. She gripped the blade between her molars and reduced it to splinters. In the final unreasoning assault the doctor outer powered the girl. He forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged. Her both tonsils were covered with membrane.From that the doctor had done, I thought he was a responsible person. In order to save the lives of the patients, especially those children who did not know how to co-operate with the doctor, he had to take some measure. Otherwise a good or suitable time of treatment would be missed. The doctor appears to be compassionate and keen to human behavior, characteristic of a good doctor, though he is also undeniably blunt and slightly prejudiced.思想: Though there are reasons often justifiable, what compels the use of force against others isn't simply altruism alone. The overall theme of the story revolves around power and submission and the doctor's unnerved feeling following the forceful encounter.作者如何写的: The story is narrated in first person by a doctor, who is answering a house visit to see a sick girl. Williams uses interior monologue as a"stream-of-consciousness" tool reflects the narrator's experience of dialogue and gives insight into the character and his appraisal of the situations he encounters. The story is written without the use of quotation marks, and the dialogue is not distinguished from the narrator's comments. The story is rendered from the subjective point of view of the doctor, and explores his subdued enjoyment of forcefully subduing the stubborn child in an attempt to acquire the throat sample.。

在当今世界，武力作为一种解决问题的手段，时常出现在我们的生活中。

无论是国家间的冲突，还是个人之间的纷争，都可能涉及到武力的使用。

因此，了解武力的使用及其背景显得尤为重要。

这就是本文将要探讨的主题：“the use of force”的写作背景。

首先，我们需要明确“the use of force”的含义。

它不仅仅包括物理上的武力，如战争、暴力等，还包括经济、文化等方面的压力。

这种力量的使用，往往会对社会产生深远的影响。

那么，为何要讨论这个主题呢？这是因为，武力的使用不仅能够改变世界的格局，还能够影响到每一个人的生活。

了解武力的使用，能够让我们更好地理解世界，更好地保护自己。

因此，本文的目标就是深入探讨武力的使用，以及其背后的各种因素。

我们将从历史、政治、经济等多个角度，分析武力如何影响我们的生活，以及我们如何应对这种影响。

在接下来的文章中，我们将首先回顾历史，看看武力在过去是如何被使用
的。

然后，我们将探讨武力在现代世界中的使用，特别是它在政治和经济领域的应用。

最后，我们将讨论如何应对武力的使用，以便更好地保护自己和我们所关心的人。

总的来说，了解武力的使用及其背景，是我们理解世界、保护自己的重要途径。

Lesson 3: The Use of ForceThey were new patients to me, all I had was the name, Olson. "Please come down as soon as you can, my daughter is very sick."When I arrived I was met by the mother, a big startled looking woman, very clean and apologetic who merely said, Is this the doctor? And let me in. In the back, she added. You must excuse us, doctor, we have her in the kitchen where it is warm. It is very damp here sometimes.The child was fully dressed and sitting on here father's lap near the kitchen table. He tried to get up, but I motioned for him not to bother, took off my overcoat and started to look things over. I could see that they were all very nervous, eyeing me up and down distrustfully. As often, in such cases, they weren't telling me more than they had to, it was up to me to tell them; that's why they were spending three dollars on me.The child was fairly eating me up with her cold, steady eyes, and no expression on her face whatever. She did not move and seemed, inwardly, quiet; an unusually attractive little thing, and as strong as a heiferin appearance. But her face was flushed, she was breathing rapidly, and I realized that she had a high fever. She had magnificent blonde hair, in profusion. One of those picture children often reproduced in advertising leaflet s and the photogravure sections of the Sunday papers.She's had a fever for three days, began the father and we don't know what it comes from. My wife has given her things, you know, like people do, but it don't do no good. And there's been a lot of sickness around. So we tho't you'd better look her over and tell us what is the matter.As doctors often do I took a trial shot at it as a point of departure. Has she had a sore throat?Both parents answered me together, No...No, she says her throat don't hurt her.Does your throat hurt you? Added the mother to the child. But the little girl's expression didn't change nor did she move her eyes from my face.Have you looked?I tried to, said the mother but I couldn't see.As it happens we had been having a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which this child went during that month and we were all, quite apparently, thinking of that, though no one had as yet spoken of the thing.Well, I said, suppose we take a look at the throat first. I smiled in my best professional manner and asking for the child's first name I said, come on, Mathilda, open your mouth and let's take a look at your throat.Nothing doing.Aw, come on, I coaxed, just open your mouth wide and let me take a look. Look, I said opening both hands wide, I haven't anything in my hands. Just open up and let me see.Such a nice man, put in the mother. Look how kind he is to you. Come on, do what he tells you to. He won't hurt you.As that I ground my teeth in disgust. If only they wouldn't use the word "hurt" I might be able to get somewhere. But I did not allow myself to be hurried or disturbed but speaking quietly and slowly I approached the child again.As I moved my chair a little nearer suddenly with one catlike movement both her hands clawed instinctively for my eyes and she almost reached them too. In fact she knocked my glasses flying and they fell, though unbroken, several feet away from me on the kitchen floor.Both the mother and father almost turned themselves inside out in embarrassment and apology. You bad girl, said the mother, taking her and shaking her by one arm. Look what you've done. The nice man...For heaven's sake, I broke in. Don't call me a nice man to her. I'm here to look at her throat on the chance that she might have diphtheria and possibly die of it. But that's nothing to her. Look here, I said to the child, we're going to look at your throat. You're old enough to understand what I'm saying. Will you open it now by yourself or shall we have to open it for you?Not a move. Even her expression hadn't changed. Her breaths, however, were coming faster and faster. Then the battle began. I had to do it. I had to have a throat culture for her own protection. But first I told the parents that it was entirely up to them. I explained the danger but said that I would not insist on a throat examination so long as they would take the responsibility.If you don't do what the doctor says you'll have to go to the hospital, the mother admonished her severely.Oh yeah? I had to smile to myself. After all, I had already fallen in love with the savage brat, the parents were contemptible to me. In the ensuing struggle they grew more and more abject, crushed, exhausted while she surely rose to magnificent heights of insane fury of effort bred of her terror of me.The father tried his best, and he was a big man but the fact that she was his daughter, his shame at her behavior and his dread of hurting her made him release her just at the critical times when I had almost achieved success, till I wanted to kill him. But his dread also that she might have diphtheria made him tell me to go on, go on though he himself was almost fainting, while the mother moved back and forth behind us raising and lowering her hands in an agony of apprehension.Put her in front of you on your lap, I ordered, and hold both her wrists.But as soon as he did the child let out a scream. Don't, you're hurting me. Let go of my hands. Let them go I tell you. Then she shrieked terrifyingly, hysterically. Stop it! Stop it! You're killing me!Do you think she can stand it, doctor! Said the mother.You get out, said the husband to his wife. Do you want her to die of diphtheria?Come on now, hold her, I said.Then I grasped the child's head with my left hand and tried to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. She fought, with clenched teeth, desperately! But now I also had grown furious-at a child. I tried to hold myself down but I couldn't. I know how to expose a throat for inspection. And I did my best. When finally I got the wooden spatula behind the last teeth and just the point of it into the mouth cavity, she opened up for an instant but before I could see anything she came down again and gripped the wooden blade between her molar s. She reduces it to splinters before I could get it out again.Aren't you ashamed, the mother yelled at her. Aren't you ashamed to act like that in front of the doctor?Get me a smooth-handled spoon of some sort, I told the mother. We're going through with this. The child's mouth was already bleeding. Her tongue wascut and she was screaming in wild hysterical shrieks. Perhaps I should have desist ed and come back in an hour or more. No doubt it would have been better. But I have seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases, and feeling that I must get a diagnosis now or never I went at it again. But the worst of it was that I too had got beyond reason.I could have torn the child apart in my own fury and enjoyed it. It wasa pleasure to attack her, my face was burning with it.The damned little brat must be protected against her own idiocy, one says to one's self at such times. Others must be protected against her. It is a social necessity. And all these things are true. But a blind fury, a feeling of adult shame, bred of a longing for muscular release are the operatives. One goes on to the end.In the final unreasoning assault I overpowered the child's neck any jaws.I forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gag ged. And there it was - both tonsil s covered with membrane. She had fought valiantly to keep me from knowing her secret. She had been hiding that sore throat for three days at least and lying to her parents in order to escape just such an outcome as this.Now truly she was furious. She had been on the defensive before but now she attacked, Tried to get off her father's lap and fly at me while tears of defeat blinded her eye.。

课文翻译(Translation of the text)第一课超级摇滚巨星——关于我们自己和我们的社会，他们告诉我们些什么？摇滚乐是青少年反叛的音乐。

一—摇滚乐评论家约翰·罗克韦尔由其崇拜的人即可知其人。

——小说家罗伯特·佩恩·沃伦1972年6月中旬的一天，芝加哥圆形露天剧场里观众如潮，群情激昂，狂摇猛摆。

台上，滚石乐队的米克·贾格尔正在演唱“午夜漫步人”。

演唱结束时评论家唐·赫克曼在现场。

他说：“贾格尔抓起一个装有半加伦水的罐子沿着舞台前沿跑动，把里面的水往前几排狂热的听众身上洒。

他们蜂拥地跟随他，热切地希望能淋上几滴这洗礼的圣水。

”1973年12月下旬的一天，大约一万四千名尖声叫喊的歌迷在华盛顿市外的首都中心剧场嘈杂地涌向台前。

美国的恐怖歌星艾利斯·库珀正要结束自己表演。

他借助断头台假装结束自己生命来结束表演。

他的“头”落人一个草篮中。

“啊！”一个穿黑衣服的女孩惊呼道，“啊，太了不起了！”十四岁的迈克·玻利也在场，但他的父母并不在。

“他们觉得他令人恶心，”迈克说，“他们对我说，‘你怎么能忍受那种东西？’”1974年1月下旬的一天，在纽约州尤宁代尔的拿骚体育馆里，鲍勃·狄伦和乐队正在为音乐会上用的乐器调音。

场外瓢泼大雨中，摇滚乐迷克利斯·辛格正等着入场。

“这是朝圣，”克利斯说，“我应该跪着爬进去。

”你是如何看待所有这些溢美之词与英雄崇拜？当米克·贾格尔迷们把他视为至高的神父或神明时，你是赞成他们还是反对他们？你和克利斯·辛格一样对鲍勃·狄伦怀有几乎是宗教般的崇敬吗？你认为他或狄伦步入歧途了吗？你是否嫌艾利斯·库珀表演恶心而不接受他？还是你莫名其妙地被这个怪异的小丑吸引，因为他表现了你最疯狂的幻想？这并非是些随便问问的问题。

有些社会学家认为，你对这些问题的回答，很能说明你在想些什么，社会在想些什么。

a）Some sociologists say that your answers to them could explain a lot about what you are thinking and about what your society is thinking —— in other words，where you and your society are. [选自《高级英语》上册第一课]译文：有些社会学家认为你对这些问题的回答可以充分说明你在想些什么，这个社会在想些什么——换句话说，有关你及社会的态度。

b）When he was saying all those things against the government and against the council，he became more and more ugly and embittered and I used to be afraid for him. [选自《高级英语》上册第六课]译文：他在发表那些反政府、反对美国印第安人事物委员会言论时，总会变得越来越气愤、充满怨恨。

我曾为他担忧。

解析：做这种题目时，还是要求考生对教材的内容有很好的把握。

翻译什么最难——词、句、段落、篇章？。

很多人会认为，难度是按照“词、句、段落、篇章”依次递增的。

其实不然。

一个单词的通常是多义的，单独出现，常人是很难穷尽其所有意义；而当该词与更多的词发生联系，其受到的制约越来越多，其意义范围越来越小，翻译起来也越好把握。

我们在翻译这些句子时，往往脱离了篇章（除非你能记得起来课文内容），所以句子的许多代词很难知道它们确切所指。

而英文往往多使用代词，以避免重复；中文则不同，要表达明了，有时不忌讳重复。

上面例句1中，“them” 指代什么？另外很多词、短语在不同的上下文中，都有不同的意思：例句1中，where you are 不是“你在哪儿”，而是“你是什么态度”。
