Lesson Eight The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I cameupon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto.2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on thekindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?4. The idea intrigued me.5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to theAtlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a signdisplaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America."7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning meabout someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed intheir Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them forstopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on thegrass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore."10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people boughtme food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touchingwas the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.12. One day I walked into the chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tenn. to find out about camping in the area. The executivedirector, Baxter Wilson, 59, handed me a brochure for a local campground. Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, "No, that's all right. I'll try something else." Then he saw my backpack. "Most people around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that's what you want," he said. Now we're talking, I thought. "Any particular direction?" I asked. "Tell you what. I've got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you're here at 5:30, you can ride with me."13. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he'd invited me to spend the night in hishome. His wife, Carol, a seventh-grade science teacher, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. Baxter explained that local folks were "mountain stay-at-home people" who rarely entertained in their house. "When we do," he said, "it's usually kin." This revelation made my night there all the more special.14. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I'd come to their school and talk to her class about my trip. Iagreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. The kids were attentive and kept asking all kinds of questions: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did you have? Did anybody try to run you over? Did you fall in love with someone? What were you most afraid of?15. Although I hadn't planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told thestudents how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help. I told them that the question I had had in mind when I planned this journey was now clearly answered.In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.第八课陌生人的仁慈1一个夏天，我正驱车从我的家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍湖市前往新奥尔良。

Translation of Text A怪物即将降临枫树街第二幕场景一1从这么多的房子里我们仅能看到蜡烛光，完全看不到有电。

安静笼罩着整片区域，不时听见人群低声说话的声音。

查理看了看古德曼的房子。

2萨莉：（略带羞怯）这不对，边说边看着人群。

为什么呢，他说的对，他一直是我们的邻居。

从他搬来这里我就认识古德曼先生了。

我们一直是好朋友—3查理：这证明不了什么。

任何一个早上花时间看着天空的人，肯定有问题。

也许在平时我们可以不管，但现在情况不寻常。

（斯蒂芬，站在离我们几码远的地方，从门廊走下来，穿过街道去到了古德曼的房子。

他停下了脚步。

古德曼站在那里。

古德曼太太感到很害怕，她站在丈夫身后。

）4古德曼：就站在那里，斯蒂芬。

我们不想惹麻烦，但如果现在谁敢踏进我家门—谁就麻烦了！5斯蒂芬：看，莱兹——6古德曼：我已经跟你们解释过了。

我有时晚上睡得不好。

我就会起床散步，看天空和星星。

7古德曼夫人：这正是他平常做的事，怎么整件事就成了，成了疯狂的行为了。

8斯蒂夫：（连连点头）这正是他平常做的事——有一点疯狂。

9查理的声音：（尖叫声从街道对面传过来）你最好看看你被谁看见了，斯蒂夫！不等我们弄清楚事情真相，你摆脱不了嫌疑。

10斯蒂夫：（猛地朝他走去）或者是你，查理。

或者是我们当中任何一个年龄段的人。

11女人：我想知道的是——我们打算怎么做？一起在这里站整晚吗？12查理：我们也没别的事情可做！13斯蒂夫：（提高嗓门）查理，你有事情可以做。

你能回家然后闭上你的嘴巴。

你可以像个自我任命的无能法官，停下脚步，然后回去睡觉，忘记一切。

14查理：听起来就像你很期待这些发生，斯蒂夫。

我认为我们也应该多留意你。

15唐：我认为现在什么都有可能出现。

（他转向斯蒂夫。

）你的妻子说了很多关于你行为古怪的话。

16查理：（瞪大眼睛紧接着说）说吧，告诉我们她说了什么。

（斯蒂夫从街道对面走过来。

）17斯蒂夫：说吧，我妻子说了什么？让我们全部说出来。

The Monsters Are Due On MapleStreet (Act I) Rod Serling CHARACTERSLes Goodman SallyMrs. Goodman ManDon Martin Second ManSteve Brand WomanMrs. Brand Five DifferentVoicesPete Van Horn First FigureCharlie Second FigureTommyIt is Maple Street, a quiet, tree-lined, residential street in a typical American town. The houses have front porches where people sit and talk to each other across their lawns. STEVE BRAND polishes his car parked in front of his house. His neighbor, DON MARTIN, leans against the fender, watching him. A Good Humor man rides a bicycle and is just stopping to sell some ice cream to a couple of kids. Two women gossip on the front lawn. Another man waters his lawn.At this moment one of the boys, TOMMY, looks up and listens to the sound of a tremendous roar from overhead. A flash of light plays on his face, then moves down the street past lawns and porches and rooftops, and then disappears. STEVE BRAND, the man who has been polishing his car, stands there speechless, staring upwards. He looks at DON MARTIN, his neighbor from across the street.Steve: What was that? A meteor?Don: That's what it looked like. I didn't hear any crash, though, did you?Steve: Nope, I didn't hear anything except a roar.Mrs. Brand (from her porch): Steve? What was that?Steve: Guess it was a meteor, honey. Came awful close, didn't it?Mrs. Brand: Much too close!(People stand on their porches, watching and talking in low tones. We see a MAN screwing in a light bulb on a front porch, then getting down off the stool to turn on the switch and finding that nothing happens. A MAN working on an electric power mower plugs in the plug. He turns on the switch, on and off, but nothing happens. Through the window of a front porch a WOMAN is seen dialing her phone.)Woman: Operator, operator, something's wrong with the phone, operator!(MRS. BRAND comes out on the porch.)Mrs. Brand (calling): Steve, the power's off. I had the soup on the stove, and the stove just stopped working.Woman: Same thing over here. I can't get anybody on the phone, either. The phone seems to be dead.First Voice: Electricity's off.Second Voice: Phone won't work.Third Voice: Can't get a thing on the radio.Fourth Voice: My power mower won't move, won't work at all.(PETE VAN HORN, a tall, thin man, is seen standing in front of his house.)Van Horn: I'11 cut through the back yard . . . see if the power' s still on on Cherry Street. I'll be right back!Steve: Doesn't make sense. Why should the power and the phone line go off all of a sudden?Don: Maybe it's an electrical storm or something.Charlie: That doesn't seem likely. Sky's just as blue as anything. Not a cloud. No lightning. No thunder. No nothing. How could it be a storm?Woman: I can't get a thing on the radio. Not even the portable.Charlie: Well, why don't you go downtown and check with the police, though they'll probably think we're crazy or something. A little power failure and right away we get all excited.Steve: It isn't just the power failure, Charlie. If it was, we'd still be able to get a broadcast on the portable.(There's a murmur of reaction to this. STEVE walks over to his car.)Steve: I'll run downtown. We'll get this all straightened out. (STEVE gets into his car, turns the key. The engine is dead. He then gets out of the car.)Steve: I don't understand it. It was working fine before—Don: Out of gas?Steve (shakes his head): I just had it filled up.Woman: What does it mean?Charlie: It's just as if. . . as if everything had stopped. ( Then he turns toward STEVE.) We'd better walk downtown.Steve: OK, Charlie. ( He turns to look back at the car.) It couldn't be the meteor. A meteor couldn't do this.(He and CHARLIE exchange a look. Then they start to walk away from the group. TOMMY, a serious-faced young boy tries to stop them.)Tommy: Mr. Brand...you'd better not!Steve: Why not?Tommy: They don't want you to.(STEVE and CHARLIE exchange a grin. STEVE looks back toward the boy.)Steve: Who doesn't want us to?Tommy (jerks his head in the general direction of the distant horizon): Them!Steve: Them?Charlie: Who are them?Tommy (very intently): Whoever was in that thing that came by overhead. I don't think they want us to leave here.(STEVE walks over to the boy. He kneels down in front of him. He forces his voice to remain gentle. He reaches out and holds the boy.)Steve: What do you mean? What are you talking about?Tommy: They don't want us to leave. That's why they shut everything off.Steve: What makes you say that? Whatever gave you that idea?Woman (from the crowd): Now isn't that the craziest thing you ever heard?Tommy (persistently): It's always that way, in every story I ever read about a ship landing from outer space.Woman (to the boy's mother, SALLY,): From outer space yet! Sally, you'd better get that boy of yours up to bed. He's been reading too many comic books or seeing too many movies or something!Salty: Tommy, come over here and stop that kind of talk.Steve: Go ahead, Tommy. We 'll be right back. And you 'll see. That wasn't any ship or anything like it. That was just a... a meteor or something. (He turns to the group, now trying to sound optimistic although he obviously doesn't feel that way himself.) Meteors can do some crazy things. Like sun spots.Don: Sure. They raise Cain with radio reception all over the world. And this thing, being so close-why, there's no telling the sort of stuff it can do. (He wets his lips, smiles nervously.) Go ahead, Charlie. You and Steve go into town and see if that isn't what's causing it all.(STEVE and CHARLIE again continue to walk away down the sidewalk. The people watch silently. TOMMY stares at them, biting his lips and finally calling out again.)Tommy: Mr. Brand!(The two men stop again.)Tommy: Mr. Brand. . .please don't leave here.(STEVE and CHARLIE stop once again and turn toward the boy. There's a murmur in the crowd, a murmur of irritation and concern.)Tommy: You might not even be able to get to town. It was that way in the story. Nobody could leave, except—Steve: Except who?Tommy: Except the people they'd sent down ahead of them. They looked just like humans. And it wasn't until the ship landed that—(The boy suddenly stops again, conscious of his parents staring at him and of the sudden quietness of the crowd.)Sally: Tommy, please, son, don't talk that way—Man: The kid shouldn't talk that way... and we shouldn't stand here listening to him. Why, this is the craziest thing I ever heard of.(STEVE walks toward the boy.)Steve: Go ahead, Tommy. What about the people that they sent out ahead?Tommy: That was the way they prepared things for the landing. They sent people who looked just like humans... but they weren't.(There's laughter at this, but it's a laughter that comes from a desperate attempt to lighten the atmosphere.)Charlie (rubs his jaw nervously): I wonder if Cherry Street's got the same deal we got. (He looks past the houses.) Where is Pete Van Horn, anyway? Didn't he get back yet?(Suddenly there's the sound of a car's engine starting to turn over. LES GOODMAN is at the wheel of his car.)Sally: Can you get it started, Les?(GOODMAN gets out of the car, shaking his head.)Goodman: No.(As he walks toward the group, he stops suddenly. Behind him, the car engine starts up all by itself. GOODMAN whirls around and stares at it. His eyes go wide, and he runs over to his car. The people stare toward the car.)Man: He got the car started somehow. He got his car started!Woman: How come his car just started like that?Sally: All by itself. He wasn't anywhere near it. It started all by itself.(DON approaches the group: He stops a few feet away to look toward GOODMAN's car and then back toward the group.)Don: And he never did come out to look at that thing that flew overhead. He wasn't even interested. (He turns to the faces in the group.) Why? Why didn't he come out with the rest of us to look?Charlie: He was always an oddball. Him and his whole family.Don: What do you say we ask him?(The group suddenly starts toward the house.)Steve: Wait a minute... wait a minute! Let's not be a mob!(The people seem to pause for a moment. Then, much more quietly and slowly, they start to walk across the street. GOODMAN stands there alone, facing the people.)Goodman: I just don't understand it. I tried to start it, and it wouldn't start. You saw me. (And now, just as suddenly as the engine started, it stops. There's a frightened murmuring of the people.)Don: Maybe you can tell us. Nothing's working on this street. Nothing. No lights, no power, no radio. Nothing except one car—yours!(The people pick this up, and their murmuring becomes a loud chant filling the air with demands for action.)Goodman: Wait a minute now. You keep your distance—all of you. So I've got a car that starts by itself—well, that's weird—I admit it. But does that make me a criminal or something? I don't know why the car works—it just does!(This stops the crowd, and GOODMAN, still backing away, goes up the steps and then stops to face the mob.)Goodman: What's it all about, Steve?Steve (quietly): Seems that the general impression holds that maybe the people in one family aren't what we think they are. Monsters from outer space or something. Different from us. You know anybody that might fit that description around here on Maple Street?Goodman: What is this, a practical joke or something?(Suddenly the engine of the car starts all by itself again, runs for a moment, and stops. The people once again react.)Goodman: Now that's supposed to make me a criminal, huh? The car engine goes on and off? (He looks around at the faces of the people.) I just don't understand it... any more than any of you do! (He wets his lips, looking from face to face.) Look, you all know me. We've lived here five years. Right in this house. We're no different from any of you!Woman: Well, if that's the case, Les Goodman, explain why—(She stops suddenly.)Goodman (softly): Explain what?Steve: (cutting in): Look, let's forget this—Charlie: Go ahead; let her talk. What about it? Explain what?Woman (a little reluctantly): Well... sometimes I go to bed late at night. A couple of times... I'd come out here on the porch and I'd see Mr. Goodman here standing out in front of his house... looking up at the sky. (She looks around at the circle of faces.) That's right, looking up at the sky as if... as if he were waiting for something.Goodman: She's crazy. Look, I can explain that. Please... I can really explain that. She's making it up anyway.(He takes a step toward the crowd, and they back away. He walks down the steps after them, and they continue to back away. He's suddenly and completely left alone. He looks like a man caught in the middle of a menacing circle.)。
