Pub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案(部分)Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoiled.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. “The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.7.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.8.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo—French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.III.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase,the King’s English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.IV.A.1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side:be in a bad temper for the day3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at: scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor,think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e. as if one were a Saxon peasant6. come into one’s own: receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition7.sit up at:(colloquial) become suddenly alert and take notice ofB.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。

而最近,英国皇家建筑师学会提出的有利于生态环境的原则——规定一个建筑物的建设和使用都不应该消耗地球的资源——已开始影响主流建筑。
由于矿物燃料的价格飞涨和对气候变化日益感到不安,越来越多的设计师开始考虑环境因素。
这个议程正逐步地渗入重要的建筑师设计中,而大的建筑公司也正在注意到这个问题。
全球变暖对主流建筑的习惯做法造成巨大的威胁。
如果现在的趋势持续下去,目前建造的适应于欧洲北部凉爽气候的建筑物到2080年将需要空调持续运行,从而增加能耗费用并产生温室气体。
所以建筑学家正争先恐后地设计模型吸收多余的热量,再加上结合已被验证的来自地中海地区的冷却方法,更好地利用自然通风,利用更多的遮光设施、百叶窗和庭院,采用更小的窗子来阻挡阳光进入。
