柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天，当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时，收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。

路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样，不愿舍弃家园，要他下决心弃家外逃，除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策，他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来，住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。

他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。

四年前，他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过，当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低，高出海平面仅几英尺。

“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺，，’他对父亲说，“而且距离海边足有250码远。

But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2.This much we pledge---and more.This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3.United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4.But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostilepowers.We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.5.Our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have faroutpaced the instruments of peace.The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.6.To enlarge the area in which its writ may run.We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force.7.Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf allhumanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.Before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place8.Yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays thehand of mankind’s final war.Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.9.So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not asign of weakness.So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate) and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness.10.L et both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of itsterrors.Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.11.E ach generation of American has been summoned to give testimony toits national loyalty.Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country (by fighting and dying for their country's cause).12.W ith a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the finaljudge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love.Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have worked sincerely and to the best of our ability.Lesson 51. Logic, far from being a dry, pedantic discipline, is a living, breathi ng thing, full of beauty, passion and trauma:Logic is not at all a dry, learned branch of learning. It is like a living hum an being, full of beauty, passion and painful emotional shocks.2. Same age, same background, but dumb as an ox:He is of the same age and has the same background but he is dumb as an ox.3. Fads, I submit, are the very negation of reason.:Fads (a passing fashion or craze), in my opinion, show a complete lack of reason.4. To be swept up in every craze that comes along, to surrender yours elf to idiocy just because everyone else is doing it – this, to me, is the a cme of mindlessness.It is the greatest of lack of intelligence for me to follow enthusiastically e very current fashion that appears, or to indulge myself to stupid action jus t because everyone else is doing it.5. ―All the Big Men on Campus are wearing there. Where’ve you be en?‖: All the important and fashionable men on campus are wearing them. Ho w come you don’t know?6. ―Don’t you want to be in the swim?‖:don’t you want to follow the current fashions?/Don’t you want to be doing what everyone else is doing?7. My brain, that precision instrument, slipped into high gear.My brain began to work at high speed or efficiency. /My brain, which is a precision instrument, began to work at high speed.8. I wanted Polly for a shrewdly calculated, entirely cerebral reason.I wanted Polly for a cleverly thought out and an entirely intellectual reaso n.9. She was not yet of pin-up proportions, but I felt sure that time wou ld supply the lack.She was not yet as beautiful as a pin-up girl but I felt sure she would beco me beautiful enough after some time.10. She had an erectness of carriage, an ease of bearing, a poise that c learly indicated the best of breading.She walked with her head and body erect and moved in a natural and dign ified manner—all this showed she was well trained in manners and social behavior.11. In fact she veered in the opposite direction.In fact, she went in the opposite direction./She was not intelligent, that she was rather stupid.12. In other words, if you were out of the picture, the field would be o pen.If you’re no longer involved with her (if you stop dating her) others would be free to compete for her friendship.13. He was a torn man.He was agitated and tormented, not knowing what was the right thing to do.14. I was getting nowhere with this girl, absolutely nowhere.: I was making no progress withthis girl.15.

Admittedly it was not a prospect fraught with hope…:One must admit the outcome does not look very wonderful.17. Suddenly, a glimmer of intelligence—the first I had seen—came i nto her eyes.:From her eyes that for the first time she was beginning to understand the problem.18. Over and over again I cited instances…without let-up.Over and over again I gave examples and pointed out the mistakes in her t hinking. I kept emphasizing all this without stopping.19.

I shrieked, kicking up great chunks of turf.The narrator has now thoroughly lost control of himself and his temper. He now screamed and kicked up big pieces of grassy earth in his anger. Lesson 71.Boy and man, I had been through it often before.As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- tentravelled through the region.2.But somehow I had never quite sensed its appalling desolation.But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.3.It reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressingjoke.This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.4.The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grime of the endlessmills.The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.5.They have taken as their model a brick set on end.The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built looked like bricks standing upright.6.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards, with anarrow, low-pitched roof.These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.7.When it has taken on the patina of the mills it is the color of an egglong past all hope or caring.When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten egg.8.Red brick, even in a steel town, ages with some dignity.Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.9.I award this championship only after laborious research and incessantprayer.I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.10.T hey show grotesqueries of ugliness that, in retrospect, become almostdiabolical.They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.11.I t is incredible that mere ignorance should have achieved suchmasterpieces of horror.It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.12.O n certain levels of the American race, indeed, there seems to be apositive libido for the ugly.People in certain strata of American society seem definitely to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Christian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.13.T hey meet, in some unfathomable way, its obscure and unintelligibledemands.These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot understand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind. 14.T hey made it perfect in their own sight by putting a completelyimpossible penthouse, painted a staring yellow, on top of it.They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.15.O ut of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hatestruth.From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth．lesson 101.The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle-aged…At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it longingly.2. The rejection of Victorian gentility was,in any case, inevitable.In any case, an American could not avoid casting aside its middle-class r espectability and affected refinement.3.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian social structure….The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social s tructure.4. …it was tempted,in America at least,to escape its responsibilities a nd retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication..In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk thei r responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behavi ng naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures illicit,...The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohi bition, by making drinking unlawful added a sense of adventure.6….our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the wa r.7.theywanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly u p‖The young people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before t he whole war ended.8. …they had outgrown towns and families….These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9. …the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical do-goo dism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10. Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to ―give‖(Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, w ho were already very tense, had to break down.11….it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pens inflamed against war,Babbittry,and ―Puritanical‖gentility,should flock to the traditional artistic center…It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writin gs extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should c ome in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12 Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.Lesson 111. The English people may hotly argue and abuse and quarrel with each o ther 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 t here many cruel wealthy employers on the board of managers (or governi ng board of a factory).4. The contemporary world demands that everyth ing 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, English ness seems to put up a rather poor weak perf ormance.6. Englishness is not against change, but it believes that changing just fo r changing and for no other useful purpose to be very wrong and harmful.7. To regard cars and motorways as more important than houses seems t o 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 from a reservoir of strong moral and et hical principles, and soon it may be asking for strength which this reservo ir of principles cannot 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 becau se these kind of people are dying out -- among the curt, bad-tempered, ext remely conservative politicians who refuse to accept high posts in big co mmercial 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 ki nd 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 a way where some people are always quarreling and arguing over some sm all 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 s uddenly and for no reason be arrested and thrown into prison.Lesson 131. The writers of these letters said they were sad at the stand I had taken and they were full of blame and censure. They said I should either admit being ignorant or accept the fact that I was a stubborn and feelingless pers on.2. I am indeed aware that the movement for abolition is widespread and those Who are for abolition express their views very strongly and clearly.3. I begin my argument by first conceding that my conclusion is not final and there is still room for discussion.4. He would feel glad because it g ives pleasure to see a case that gives no opening for attack.5. At the very beginning of our discussion we find here the abolitionists j umping to an improper conclusion as they generally do.6. The sentencin g of uncontrollable brutes to death need not be influenced by anger, vindi ctiveness or moral conceit.7. A presumptive reason, might be extended to cover other acts that destr oy the moral basis of civilization.8. The abolitionists in their propaganda speak of human life as something sacred and inviolable in low solemn tones.9. They will bless our military forces and pray for our victory when called upon to do so, despite the fact that the sixth commandment of the churc h forbids killing. 10. If the sanctity of life is something absolute then we must let the murderer do whatever he wants to you.11. The absolute sanctity of human life is a slogan and not a well thought out proposal of the abolitionists.12. In examining the problems of poverty, mental disorder, dilinquency o r crime, an increasing number of generous and learned people are now sol ely interested in the diseased, the perverted, the mentally abnormal person s.13. ()f course we are sorry for the victims, but science, which is developi ng and progressing, is not interested in the dull ordinary people who are t he victims.14. We cannot know what the long term consequences of some crimes are likely to be.15. There is no doubt a killer who weighs 150 pounds and who cannot co ntrol his brutal strength has an undeveloped mind like that of a nine-year-old child.Lesson 141. Nowadays New Y ork is out of phase with American taste…1.Nowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the Ame rican people.2.New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trends…2. New York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles , fashion)of America.3….sitcoms cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live,preempt the airwaves from California.3. Situation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performanceof Johnny Carson now replace the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.4… it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attractions.4. New York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists5.To win in New York is to be uneasy…5. A person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anx iety (because he is afraid of losing what he has won in the fierce competit ion).6.Nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New Y ork.6. The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.7….the city’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.7.At night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly a nd haughtily to darken the night sky.8.But the purity of a bohemian dedication can be exaggerated.8. But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.9.In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.9. In both these roles of banking and communications head- quarters, Ne w York starts or originates very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts of the country.10.the television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype 10. The television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional advertising.11…those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves on the magazine.11. Authors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles for popular magazines.12.broadway,which seemed to be succumbing to tawdriness of its environment, is astir again.12. Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, is once again busy and active.13… he prefers the unhealthy hassle and the vitality of urban life. 13.(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.14.the defeated are not hidden away somewhere esls on the wrong side of town.14. Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hi dden away in slums or ghettoes where other people can't see them. 15.the place constantly exasperates, at times exhilarates.15.

Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King’s English人类的一切活动中,只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊，而且是人类特有的一种活动.动物之间的信息交流，不论其方式何等复杂，也是称不上交谈的。

闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。

它时而迂回流淌，时而奔腾起伏,时而火花四射，时而热情洋溢，话题最终会扯到什么地方去谁也拿不准。

要是有人觉得“有些话要说",那定会大煞风景,使闲聊无趣。

闲聊不是为了进行争论。

闲聊中常常会有争论，不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。

闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜负的。

事实上，真正善于闲聊的人往往是随时准备让步的。

也许他们偶然间会觉得该把自己最得意的奇闻轶事选出一件插进来讲一讲,但一转眼大家已谈到别处去了,插话的机会随之而失，他们也就听之任之。

或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧,我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。

酒馆里的朋友对别人的生活毫无了解，他们只是临时凑到一起来的，彼此并无深交。

他们之中也许有人面临婚因破裂，或恋爱失败，或碰到别的什么不顺心的事儿，但别人根本不管这些.他们就像大仲马笔下的三个火枪手一样，虽然日夕相处,却从不过问彼此的私事，也不去揣摸别人内心的秘密。

有一天晚上的情形正是这样。

人们正漫无边际地东扯西拉，从最普通的凡人俗事谈到有关木星的科学趣闻。

谈了半天也没有一个中心话题，事实上也不需要有一个中心话题。

可突然间大伙儿的话题都集中到了一处，中心话题奇迹般地出现了。

我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的—-她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒馆里来说的，那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话--我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。

“几天前，我听到一个人说‘标准英语'这个词语是带贬义的批评用语，指的是人们应该尽量避免使用的英语。

"此语一出，谈话立即热烈起来。

有人赞成,也有人怒斥,还有人则不以为然。

最后，当然少不了要像处理所有这种场合下的意见分歧一样，由大家说定次日一早去查证一下。

高级英语2l o v e i s a f a l l a c y中英译文(总16页)--本页仅作为文档封面，使用时请直接删除即可----内页可以根据需求调整合适字体及大小--Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute and astute—I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, precise as a chemist’s scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And—think of it!—I only eighteen.我这个人头脑冷静，逻辑思维能力强。

敏锐、慎重、聪慧、深刻、机智一一这些就是我的特点。

我的大脑像发电机一样发达，像化学家的天平一样精确，像手术刀一样锋利。

一一你知道吗我才十八岁呀。

It is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect. Take, f or example, Petey Bellows, my roommate at the university. Same age, s ame background, but dumb as an ox. A nice enough fellow, you understa nd, but nothing upstairs. Emotional type. Unstable. Impressionable. W orst of all, a faddist. Fads, I submit, are the very negation of reas on. To be swept up in every new craze that comes along, to surrender oneself to idiocy just because everybody else is doing it—this, to m e, is the acme of mindlessness. Not, however, to Petey.年纪这么轻而智力又如此非凡的人并不常有。

高级英语第三版第二册张汉熙1-6,8课课后翻译Unit11. However intricate the ways in which animals communicate with each other,they do not indulge in anything that deserves the name of conversation.不管动物之间的交流方式多么复杂，它们不能参与到称得上是交谈的任何活动中。

2. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. There is no winning in conversation.争论会经常出现于交谈中，但争论的目的不是为了说服。

交谈中没有胜负之说。

3. Perhaps it is because of my upbringing in English pubs thatI think bar conversation has a charm of its own.或许我从小就混迹于英国酒吧缘故，我认为酒吧里的闲聊别有韵味。

4. I do not remember what made one of our companions say it ---she clearlyhad not come into the bar to say it , it was not something that was pressing onher mind---but her remark fell quite naturally into the talk.我不记得是什么使得我的一个同伴说起它来的---她显然不是来酒吧说这个的，这不是她事先想好的话题----但她的话相当自然地插入到了交谈中。

5. There is always resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for ―English as it should be spoken .‖下层社会总会抵制上层社会企图给―标准英语‖制定得规则。
