Unit1 Neat People vs. Sloppy People 原文与翻译

Neat People vs. Sloppy PeopleSuzanne BrittI’ve finally figured out the difference between neat people and sloppy people. The distinction is, as always, moral. Neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.Sloppy people, you see, are not really sloppy. Their sloppiness is merely the unfortunate consequence of their extreme moral rectitude. Sloppy people carry in their mind’s eye a h eavenly vision, a precise plan, which is so stupendous, so perfect, it can’t be achieved in this world or the next.Sloppy people live in Never-Never Land. Someday is their métier. Someday they are planning to alphabetize all their books and set up home catalogs. Someday they will go through their wardrobes and mark certain items for tentative mending and certain items for passing on to relatives of similar shape and size. Someday sloppy people will make family scrapbooks into which they will put newspaper clippings, postcards, locks of hair, and the dried corsage from their senior prom. Someday they will on the surface of their desks, including the cash receipts from coffee purchases at the snack shop. Someday they will sit down and read all the back issues of The New Yorker.For all these noble reasons and more, sloppy people never getneat. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to and straighten out the world. But while these ambitious plans take clearer and clearer shape in their heads, the books spill from the shelves onto the floor, the clothes pile up in the hamper and closet, the family mementos accumulate in every drawer, the surface of the desk is buried under mounds of paper and the unread magazines threaten to reach the ceiling.Sloppy people can’t bear to part with anything. They give loving attention to every detail. When slop py people say they’re going to tackle the surface of a desk, they really mean it. Not a paper will go unturned; not a rubber band橡皮筋will go unboxed. Four hours or two weeks into the excavation, the desk looks exactly the same, primarily because the sloppy person is meticulously creating new piles of papers with new headings and scrupulously stopping to read all the old book catalogs before he throws them away. A neat person would just bulldoze the desk.Neat people are bums and clods at heart. They have cavalier attitudes toward possessions, including family heirlooms. Everything is just another dust-catcher to them. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go and that’s that. Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down the clutter.Neat people don’t care about process. They like results. Whatthey want to do is get the whole thing over with so they can sit down and watch the rasslin’ on TV. Neat people operate on two unvarying principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everything away.The only thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can. The minute something comes to a neat person’s hand, he will look at it, try to decide if it has immediate use and, finding none, throw it in the trash.Neat people are especially vicious with mail. They never go through their mail unless they are standing directly over a trash can. If the trash can is beside the mailbox, even better. All ads, catalogs, pleas for charitable contributions, church bulletins and money-saving coupons go straight into the trash can without being opened. All letters from home, postcards from Europe, bills and paychecks are opened, immediately responded to, then dropped in the trash can. Neat people keep their receipts only for tax purposes. That’s it. No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter of a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes.Neat people place neatness above everything, even economics. They are incredibly wasteful. Neat people throw away several toys every time they walk through the den. I knew a neat person once who threw away a perfectly good dish drainer because it had mold on it. The drainer was too much trouble to wash. And neat people sell theirfurniture when they move. They will sell a La-Z-Boy recliner while you are reclining in it.Neat people are no good to borrow from. Neat people buy everything in expensive little single portions. They get their flour and sugar in two-pound bags. They wouldn’t consider clipping a coupon, saving leftover, reusing plastic non-dairy不含牛奶的；没有乳制品whipped cream n. 生奶油containers or rinsing off tin foil and draping it over the unmold dish drainer. You can never borrow a neat person’s newspaper to see what’s playing at the movies. Neat people have the paper all wadded up and in the trash by 7:05 a.m.Neat people cut a clean swath through the organic as well as the inorganic world. People, animals, and things are all one to them. They are so insensitive. After they’ve finished with the pantry, the medicine cabinet, and the attic, they will throw out the red geranium 英 [dʒɪ'reɪnɪəm] n. 天竺葵(too many leaves), sell the dog (too many fleas), and send the children off to boarding school (too many scuffmarks on the hardwood floors).整洁人与邋遢人苏珊娜·布里特我终于悟出了整洁人和邋遢人的区别。

Neat people and sloppy peopleNeat people and sloppy people are distinctive in some aspects. It’s obviously that neat people are more popular than sloppy people. Neat people are more dapper and clean. On the country, sloppy people are filthy and slovenly.Neat people will make a lot of friends in their life. Sloppy people will feel lonely because they have no friends. People always make friends with those gentleman and gentlewomen because they are dapper, tidy, and elegant. They make people feel comfortable and happiness. People do not want to make friends with those sloppy people. They make people feel uncomfortable. People don’t see any better from them.The life of neat people are wonderful than sloppy people. Neat people will make a lot of money, but sloppy people will not. Neat people will get a lot of chance in their job and their boss like them absolutely. They totally do those things better. Sloppy people get a little chance and ear few money, their life is ordinary.The things you deserved due to who are you. If you are a good man, you will meet he well thing. If you are terrible, you will meet the bad thing. In a word, be a neat people, you will become lucky.。

Reference Keys to Exercises of Unit 1iii.Answer the following questions.1.(Paragraphs 1, 2 and 6) Moral attitude is a decisive factor in how neat peopleand sloppy people handle things. According to the author, sloppiness is merely the unfortunate consequence of sloppy people's extreme moral rectitude, while neat people are bums and clods at heart, holding a careless cavalier attitude toward possessions.2.(Paragraphs 4, and 5) The problem with sloppy people is that they aim too highand wide, and have never got round to executing their perfect plans. Their noble vision, ambitious plans, loving attention to every detail can be considered their moral virtues in contrast to neat people.3.(Paragraph 7) The purpose of neat people in getting everything neat and tidy isfrivolous and trivial. For example, they get the whole thing over with so that they can sit down and watch TV programs.4.(Paragraphs 6, 9 and 12) Cavalier attitudes have turned neat people into bumsand clods, insensitive and unloving. Sentimental attachment and loving care, however, are the very ingredients that make a moral man according to the author.5.(Paragraph 12) The attitudes of neat people toward things and people form acontinuum that is a manifestation of their moral frivolity and insensitivity, which is why they would rather send their children off to boarding school.iv.Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.1.Sloppy people aim at a perfect and Utopian plan that entails such a huge taskand mission that they have consistently failed to accomplish.2.Sloppy people are preoccupied with unrealistic beliefs and usually place theirhope on someday which will never really come.3.Neat people hold the same attitudes toward things and people, and are verylikely to dispose of them without care or reserve.Text appreciation1.Sloppy people carry in their mind's eye a heavenly vision, a precise plan, that is sostupendous, so perfect, it can't be achieved in this world or the next. (Paragraph 2) 2.... the surface of the desk is buried under mounds of paper and the unreadmagazines threaten to reach the ceiling. (Paragraph 4)3.No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter a dying relative everwrote. (Paragraph 9)4.Neat people cut a clean swath through the organic as well as the inorganic world. (Paragraph 12)Language worki.Explain the italicized part in each sentence in your own words.1.absolute moral righteousness and correctness2.arrange in alphabetic order5. are gradually formed and developedzy and stupid5.finish quickly what they have to do6.destroy ruthlessly the main part ofI II.Fill in the blanks with the appropriate phrasal verbs or collocations from the text.1. passed on to2. toying with3. getting over4. straightened out5. part with6. figured out7. responded ... to8. gone through V.Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE appropriate word.1. purposefully2. rather3. worthy4. who5. contributors6. developed7. staff8. stories9. described10. audience / readershipTranslationThe author holds that the fundamental difference between neat people and sloppy people is moral. The former place neatness above everything else and work on two unvarying principles: Never handle any item twice; and throw everything away. They are clear-minded and objective, but they are so indifferent that people, animals and things are all one to them. In sharp contrast, the latter fill their minds with all kinds of romantic whims and their ideals are just too perfect to come true in reality. What's more, the latter have a loving heart and seem to show sentimental attachments to everything. In a way, we may conclude that most statesmen and generals fall into the former category while most poets and artists belong to the latter type.Tips for Discussion1.With language, you might make the world laugh or weep when you laugh orweep.2.What Daniel Defoe, writer of Robinson Crusoe, experienced best illustrates thepower of the English language. It is said that his The True-born Englishman (1701) won him friendship; with the king while The Shortest Way with the Dissenters(1702) brought him into jail.3.So far as varieties of language are concerned, degrees of formality reflect to aconsiderate extent degrees of familiarity between people.4.Private language, though casual and less refined, often displays intimacy whilepublic language often betrays the distance between people.Composition Writing1.Based on your observations of friends or roommates and your own experiences,compare and contrast in a pa ragraph two people’s attitudes toward something.Focus on a single significant point of comparison. You might consider thefollowing as possible subjects:e of telephoneB.ClothesC.Shared vs. private spaceD.Shared vs. private objectsE.Loudness of conversations or musicF.Public behavior at a bus stop or some other places.2.As an objective observer, write an essay on cultural differences between two groups.You should have a central theme. Use specific examples to support your statements and try to avoid overgeneralization. And, of course, you should beware of making biased judgments.。
