大学英语2.6

大学英语第二版第二、六单元的课文翻译-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1第二单元富足的一生首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。

当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外，对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。

一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。

她在钱包里摸着找钱时，孩子抬头看了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他的眼里充满疑惑和好奇，时至今日仍历历在目。

“嗯，”我结结巴巴，边想边回答，“我比有些人拥有的多，但比其他人拥有的少。

”母亲因为孩子问了一个人在社交上不该问的问题，训斥了他一顿，他俩便匆匆地赶去购物，但是孩子的问题却一直留在我的心头挥之不去。

我从不认为自己“穷”，但有些事实我不可否认，每当我填1040税务中报表时，我都属于收入最低的档次之一，在过去的三十五年中，我只出去度过一次假，我的电视机时黑白的，还是八年前别人送给我的。

然而，想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，对我来说，只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。

我的汽车是1999年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很旧了，但是它依然可靠，我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。

我的衣服很合适于我的工作，主要都在户外。

我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。

尽管有些东西我没有，我并不感到贫穷。

这是为什么？五十三年来我一直非常健康。

我不但不生病，而且精力充沛，情绪饱满。

锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事，我乐意长距离步行，越走越有劲。

我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。

我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。

当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时，我内心感到很富有。

通过写作而获得的洞察力，不断地令我惊奇。

而与那么多写作朋友交谈，是我乐趣的主要源泉之一。

但是在我生活中，有一个重要方面我并不那么富有。

在一个对物资财富的追求投入如此之多心力的社会中，我觉得很不自在。

1. It was early December 2003, my first season as a Salvation Army bell ringer, whenI was confronted with the question. I was standing just outside the doorway of a Wal-Mart, offering a "thank you" and a smile to each person who dropped a donation into my red kettle. A neatly dressed woman and her young son walked up to the kettle stand. While she searched her purse for some cash, the boy looked up at me. I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, "Are you poor?"2. "Well," I stammered, trying to think, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." His mother scolded him for the social no-no, and they hurried off to do their shopping. His question, however, did not leave me.3. I've never thought of myself as "poor," but I can't deny certain facts. Every timeI fill out my 1040 form, I fall into one of the lowest income brackets. In the past 35 years, I've taken just one vacation trip. My TV is a black-and-white set that someone gave me eight years ago.4. Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But it is still dependable. My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing. My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors. My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.5. In spite of what I don't have, I don't feel poor. Why? I've enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years. It's not just that I've been illness-free, it's that I feel vigorous and spirited. Exercising is actually fun for me. I look forward to long, energizing walks. And I love the "can do" attitude that follows.6. I also cherish the gift of creativity. When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside. I'm continually surprisedat the insights that come through my writing process. And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.7. But there is one vital area of my life where I am not so well off. In a society that spends so much emotional energy on the pursuit of possessions, I feel out of place.8. When I was younger, there was an exceptionally interesting person I dated. What was most important to her, she told me, was "what's on the inside." I thought I had found someone special to share my life with. Then I took her to see my apartment. At the time, I lived in a basement efficiency with a few pieces of dated furniture. The only new, comfortable chair was the one at my desk. Shortly after her visit, our relationship went straight south.9. The seemingly abrupt change in her priorities was jolting. It remains a most memorable turning point in my personal journey.10. In contrast to relationships, stuff just doesn't mean that much to me. I think most people feel the same way—except when there are social consequences to not having particular items. There is a commercial on the radio that begins, "Everybody wants a high-end TV …" The pressure to purchas e is real. It may be true that everybody wantsa high-end TV. After all, nobody wants to be a nobody.11. But I'm happy to live without one. In fact, not being focused on material goods feels quite natural to me. There are many people throughout the world who would consider my lifestyle to be affluent.12. Near the end of the year, when I put on the Salvation Army's red apron, something changes inside me. Instead of feeling out of place economically, I begin to feel a genuine sense of belonging. As I ring my bell, people stop to share their personal stories ofhow much it meant to be helped when they were going through a rough time. People helping people is something I feel deeply connected to. While I'm ringing the bell, complete strangers have brought me hot chocolate, leaving me with a lingering smile. Countless individuals have helped to keep me warm with the sentiments of the season: "Thank you for ringing on such a cold day." "Can I get you a cup of coffee?" "Bless you for your good work." December is the time of year I feel wealthiest.13. Over the past four years, I've grown to understand more about myself because ofa single question from a curious child. As I've examined what it means to be poor, it has become clear to me what I am most thankful for: both my tangible and my intangible good fortune.富足的一生卡尔•格林1. 首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。

我极力保持镇静，告诫自己不要紧张，要坚持按原计划做，按自己的节奏跑。

如果我做到这一点，冠军就是我的了。

我望着四百米跑道的起跑点，屏住了呼吸。
