But the moment was very short and passed quickly.5.The house detective was in no hurry. He enjoyed his cigar and puffed a cloud of blue cigar smoke in a relaxedmanner.

Thereisn’t much that can escape me.7.The Duchess kept firm and tight control of her mind which is working quickly.

In other words, she has to take a big chance, to do something very daring, so she must be bold, resolute and decisive. She has to rise to the occasion.Translation1)不用着急慢慢来。

No sir, you wouldn't like it at all."3) The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind. It wasessential, she knew, that her thinking remain calm and reasoned. In the last few minutes the conversation had become as seemingly casual as if the discussion were of some minor domestic matter and not survival itself. She intended to keep it that way. Once more, she was aware; the role of leadership had fallen to her, her husband now a tense but passive spectator of the exchange between the evil fat man and herself. No matter. What was inevitable must be accepted. The important thing was to consider all eventualities. A thought occurred to her.Ⅳ.

Paraphrase1.The words spat forth with sudden savagery, all pretense of blandness gone.2.When they find who done that last night, who killed that kid an' its mother, then high-tailed it, they'll throw the book,and never mind who it hits, or whether they got fancy titles neither.3.The Duchess of Croydon – three centuries and a half of inbred arrogance behind her – did not yield easily.4.Even the self-assurance of Ogilvie flickered for an instant.5.The house detective took his time, leisurely puffing a cloud of blue cigar smoke, his eyes sardonically on theDuchess as if challenging her objection.6.There ain't much, out of the way, which people who stay in this hotel do, I don't get to hear about.7.The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind.8.And when they stopped for petrol, as they would have to, their speech and manner would betray them, making themconspicuous.9.There must be no mistake, no vacillation or dallying because of her own smallness of mind.参考答案1.Ogilvie spat out the words with great contempt and sudden rudeness, throwing away his pretended politeness.2.When they find who killed the mother and the kid and then ran away, they will deal out the maximum punishment,and they will not care who will be punished in this case or what their social position is.3.The Duchess was supported by her arrogance coming from parents of noble families who belonged to the nobilityfor more than three hundred years. So she did not give in easily.4.The Duchess was a good actress and she appeared so firm about their innocent that, for a brief moment, Ogilvie feltunsure if his assumption about them was right. But the moment was very short and passed quickly.5.The house detective was in no hurry. He enjoyed his cigar and puffed a cloud of blue cigar smoke in a relaxedmanner. At the same time, his eyes were fixed disdainfully on the Duchess as if openly daring her to object to his smoking a cigar, as she had done earlier.6.If anybody who stays in this hotel does anything wrong, improper or unusual, I always get to know about it. Thereisn’t much that can escape me.7.The Duchess kept firm and tight control of her mind which is working quickly. Here the Duchess is thinking quicklybut at the same time keeping her thoughts under control, not letting them run wild.8.And when they stopped for petrol, as it would be necessary, their speech and manner would reveal their identity.British English would be particularly noticeable in the south.9.She mustn’t make any mistakes in her plan, or waver in mind and show decision or deal with the situation carelesslydue to small mindedness. In other words, she has to take a big chance, to do something very daring, so she must be bold, resolute and decisive. She has to rise to the occasion.Translation1)不用着急2)你的意思是说我在撒谎吗?3)他企图尽一切办法掩盖事实的真相。
ParaphraseUnit11.My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and hope no one would notice I was a freshman.I planned to be observant and silent so that nobody would notice that I was a freshman.2.Popularity was not so important: running with the crowd was no longer a law of survival.It didn’t matter whether you were widely liked or not: you did not have to follow other people so as to be accepted by everybody else.3.This was my big chance to do my own thing, be my own woman----if I could get past my preoccupation withdoing everything perfectly.College offered a great chance for me to do my own thing and have my own style so long as I could give up the attempt to be perfect in everything.Unit21.He didn’t realize how hard his maxim hit. It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical problem ofpriorities.He did not realize how much impact his works had on me. They often come to my mind and make me think of the important problem of priorities, and this is always the time I feel quite uneasy.2.But in the light of time’s perspective their deceptive prominence fades; with a sense of loss we recall the importanttasks pushed aside.But as time passes, the urgent things gradually lose their seemingly importance, and at the same time we suffer from a sense of loss as we recall the important tasks that are left undone.Unit31.Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered with lovingcare throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating.Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: It is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, it is enjoyed with excessive amount of time.2.It is this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom age-bound habits in the West, combined with theinherent sensual concept of Chinese food, always quick to satisfy the taste buds, that is at the root of the sudden and phenomenal spread of Chinese food throughout the length and breadth of the Western World.The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: One is the increased desire for sensual pleasures and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Unit51.But it did list his“survivors”quite accurately.But the obituary did list the family members of the dead man quite accurately.2.He was the one who tried to grab at his father, and tried to mean enough to him to keep the man at home.It was the boy who made efforts to divert his father’s affection from work.Unit61.Even an end which it would be noble to pursue if it were attainable may be pursued unwiselyif it is inherently impossible of achievement.It would be unwise to pursue a goal that is bound to fail though it might benoble to do so.2.I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and now.I think the essence of wisdom is to free oneself from the confinement of thephysical world and the emotional world and look beyond.Unit81.One way was to step up the level of danger or licentiousness or alcohol or drag consumptionso that you could be sure that, no matter what, you would manage to have a little fun.In order to have a little fun under the stress of modern life, people indulged themselves even more intensively in dangerous adventures and excessive sex,alcohol and drugs.2. The god of mirth is paying us back for all those years of thinking fun was everywhere by refusing to come to ourparty.We have long assumed that fun was easy to have, but now we are paying a price for that shallow-mindedness, i.e., our party is hardly as much fun as it is intended to be.Unit91.Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods.Children enter school with lots of questions and curiosity, but when they leave school after years of formal education, they lose all the curiosity and exploring spirit.2.? Being “advanced”has its own pitfalls---among them complacency and pushing of forcing. “Advanced”learners are likely to make some mistakes, for example, they may become excessively satisfied with their progress or on the contrary, put too much pressure on themselves to achieve further progress.Unit111.“Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar’s percepti on of hischances of being caught may warp”One is less inhibited from lying; his ability to tell the truth from the falsehood is dulled; he may become less cautious against being caught.2.Once they’ve become common enough, even the small untruths that ar e not meant to hurt encourage a certaincynicism and loss of trust.When it becomes common enough to tell small lies, even the small unharmful ones will induce doubt and distrust.3.The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust forthe principle of caring.Those lies that are most understandable and acceptable are based on what moralists call the principle of love and care rather than that of trust.Unit121.We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking.As long as we can avoid walking, we are willing to do anything possible, however unnatural or ridiculous it may be.2.…I was possibly the only person ever to have entertained the notion of negotiating that intersection on foot.…I was very likely the only person who had ever attempted to cross thatintersection on foot.Unit131.I thought I was a unique item, but as soon as I peeked out of my shell I found a sea of women in similar positions.I had thought that I was quite different from other people, but when I directed my attention from myself toother people I found that there were so many people just like me.2.The little child in us has grown mature and middle-aged, almost to our surprise.To our surprise, the inner child in us has grown mature and is already middle-aged. And we realize that we are really getting old.3.Besides the intellectual surprises, we found joy in each other’s company, and we delved in this newly foundcamaraderie with an intensity we did not know we could achieve outside of love and pregnancies.We found so many surprises in school, and apart from that, we also enjoyed the company of each other very much. We appreciated this kind of friendship intensely, just like what we felt for our lovers when we were in love or for baby when we were pregnant.Unit141.Suddenly I saw myself as I really was, in all my horrid selfishness, and I felt sick at heart.Suddenly I realized that sort of person I really was: I was an extremely selfish man. This made me feel very bad at heart.2.I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.I was judging you by the standard for an adult of my age which was not fair to a little boy.3. A penitent kneels at your infant shrine, here in the moonlight.Here in the moonlight, your father, a man with a strong sense of guilt and remorse, kneels in front of your bed.Unit151.It is difficult to sort out whether job satisfaction causes happiness or vice versa, but evidence suggests thatcausation flows both ways.It is hard to find out whether job satisfaction causes happiness or happiness leads to jib satisfaction, but it is suggested that either of them has an effect on the other.2. There is nothing, short of terminal illness---no setback, shortcoming, difficulty, or inadequacy---that makeshappiness impossible.Nothing, such as misfortune, weakness, difficulty, or insufficiency, can make it impossible for a person to achieve happiness unless he suffers from a fatal disease.TranslationUnit11.听到他屡遭失败的消息,我感到难过.It distressed me a great deal to hear that he had suffered repeated failures.2.他虽然失去了老板的欢心,但仍然装出一副高兴地样子。
Ⅰ. Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible-1) Did Ogilvie deliberatedly delay his call at the Croydons' suite? Why?2) Why did the Duchess send her maid and secretary out?3) Why do you think Ogilvie was being deliberately offensive to the Croydons in the beginning?4) How did the Duchess know where the Duke had gone the night the accident occurred?5) How did Ogilvie come to suspect the Croydons of the hit-' n run crime?6) what is a 'brush trace'?7) What made the Duchess jump to the conclusion that Ogilvie had come to blackmail them?8) Why didn't the police come immediately to the hotel to check the cars?9) Why couldn't the Duchess get her car repaired discreetly in New Orleans?10) Why did the Duchess decide to make the detective drive their car north?11) Why did the Duchess offer Ogilvie twenty-five thousand dollars instead of the ten thousand the detective asked for?12) Did Ogilvie accept the Duchess’offer?Ⅱ. Paraphrase:1) The house detective's piggy eyes surveyed her sardonically from his gross jowled face.2) Pretty neat set-up you folks got.3) The obese body shook in an appreciative chuckle.4) He lowered the level of his incongruous falsetto voice.5) The words spat forth with sudden savagery, all pretense of blandness gone.6) The Duchess of Corydon –three centuries and a half of in-bred arrogance behind her -- did not yield easily.7) "It is no go, old girl. I'm afraid. It was a good try."8) "That's more like it," Ogilvie said. He lit the fresh cigar, "Now we're getting somewhere."9) his eyes sardonically on the Duchess as if challenging her objection.10) The house detective clucked his tongue reprovingly.Ⅲ. Translate the following into Chinese:1) "I'll tell you, Duke -- I've been in this town and this hotel a long time. I got friends all over.I oblige them; they do the same for me, like letting me know what gives, an' where. There ain't much, out of the way, which people who stay in this hotel do, I don’t get to hear about. Most of 'em never know I know, or know me. They think they got their little secret tucked away, and so they have –except like now."2) "Well now, there's no call for being hasty," The incongruous falsetto voice took on a musing note. "What's done's been done. Rushin' any place ain't gonna bring back the kid nor its mother neither. Besides, what they' d do to you across at the headquarters, Duke, you wouldn’t' t like. No sir, you wouldn't like it at all."3) The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind. It was essential, she knew, that her thinking remain calm and reasoned. In the last few minutes the conversation had become as seemingly casual as if the discussion were of some minor domestic matter and not survival itself. She intended to keep it that way. Once more, she was aware; the role of leadership had fallen to her, her husband now a tense but passive spectator of the exchange between the evil fat man and herself. No matter. What was inevitable must be accepted. The important thing was to consider all eventualities. A thought occurred to her.Ⅳ.
