高级英语第三版第一册课文翻译和词汇1-6第一篇:高级英语第三版第一册课文翻译和词汇1-6高级英语(第三版)第一册课文译文和词汇张汉熙版Lesson 1 Face to Face with Hurricane Camille迎战卡米尔号飓风约瑟夫.布兰克小约翰。
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。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。
至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。
我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。
“ 老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。
他对儿子的意见表示赞同。
”我们是可以严加防卫。
度过难关的,“他说?”一但发现危险信号,我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。
研究生英语阅读教程(基础级)第三次修订版课文参考译文研究生英语阅读教程(基础级)第三次修订版课文参考译文第一课 A世界英语:是福是祸?汤姆•麦克阿瑟(1)2000 年,语言学家、威尔士人格兰维尔•普莱斯,在他编辑的《英国与爱尔兰的语言》中发表了如下的观点:因为英语是个杀手。
正是英语,导致坎伯兰语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语灭亡。
在那些岛屿的部分地区,还有较大规模的群体讲比英语更古老的当地语言。
但是,现在日常生活中,英语无处不在,人人—或者说—几乎人人都懂英语。
英语威胁到那三种遗留的凯尔特语:爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语和威尔士语,……所以必须意识到,从长远来看,这三种语言的未来……十分危险。
(第141 页)在此几年前,1992 年,英国学者罗伯特.菲利普森(他如今在丹麦工作)在牛津大学出版了一本书,名为《语言领域的帝国主义》。
在书中,他指出,主要的英语国家、世界范围内英语教学产业,尤其是英国文化委员会,实施的是语言扩张政策。
他还把这种政策和他所称的“语言歧视”(这个情况类似于“种族歧视”、“性别歧视”)联系在一起。
在菲利普森看来,以“白人”为主的英语世界中,起主导作用的机构和个人,或故意或无意,鼓励或者至少容忍英语大肆扩张,他们当然不反对英语的扩张。
英语的扩张开始于大约三个世纪以前,最初表现形式是经济与殖民扩张。
(2)菲利普森本人为英国文化委员会工作过几年。
和他一样,还有一些母语为英语的学者,也试图强调英语作为世界语言的危险。
在过去几十年里,人们从三个群体的角度,就英语的国际化进行了广泛的讨论。
第一个群体是ENL 国家,英语是母语(这个群体也叫“内部圈”);第二个群体是ESL 国家,英语是第二语言(“外部圈”);第三个群体是EFL 国家,英语是外语(“扩展圈”)。
二十世纪八十年代,这些词语开始流行。
从那时起,这第三圈实际上已扩展到全球范围。
(3)从来没有像英语这样?语言,这既有利也有弊。
曾经有许多“世界语言”,例如:阿拉伯语、汉语、希腊语、拉丁语和梵语。
Lesson 11. For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx.There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh...that their long-term future must be considered...very greatly at risk.因为英语是个杀手。
正是英语造成了康瑞克、康尼施、诺恩、曼科斯等语言的消亡。
在其中一部分岛上还有相当多的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。
然而,英语在日常生活中无处不在。
所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。
英语对现存的凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大,它们的未来岌岌可危。
2. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguicism (a conditionparallel to racism and sexism).As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default)encouraged or at least tolerated-and certainly have not opposed-the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion.同时,他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视(和种族歧视、性别歧视的情况类似)的偏见密切相关。

Lesson 41 Bill Clinton was hard to miss in the autumn of 1970. He arrived at Yale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford.He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that reddish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores.1970年秋天,你想不注意比尔-克林顿也不容易。
他来到耶鲁大学法学院时,看上去像一个北欧海盗,而不像一个在牛津大学呆了两年后回国的罗兹奖学金获得者。
他身材高大,他那棕红色的胡子和卷曲而浓密的头发使他显得很帅气。
他浑身充满了活力。
当我第一次在法学院的学生休息室里见到他时,正对着一帮全神贯注的同学滔滔不绝地讲着什么。
2 The way bill tells the story, he couldn’t remember his own name.在比尔讲述这段事情的版本中他说他当时都想不起来自己叫什么名字了。
3 To this day, he can astonish me with the connections he weaves between ideas and words and how he makes it all sound like music.直到现在我还常为他敏捷的思维和恰如其分的用词,以及他如何能够将要表达的思想说得那么动听而感到惊讶不已。
4 One of the first things I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands. His wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a pianist or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn the papes of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of handshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, weathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient.我首先注意到的是比尔的手的形状。
Lesson 11.昨日发生的恐怖主义活动使美国人的生活暗淡无光,在他们的生活中留下了印迹,并永远地改变了他们的生活。
Y esterday’s terrorism darkened, marked and forever altered the way Americans live their lives. 2.佛罗里达州立大学创伤心理学教授查尔斯?费格里说:“我们得学一学其它许多国家曾经经历过的东西,那就是从文化上和在全国范围内来应对恐惧。
”他还说:“我们正在体验恐惧是怎样起作用的。
”“We are going to have to learn what a lot of other countries have gone through: to manage fear at a cultural and national level,” said Charles Figley, a professor of trauma psychology at Florida State University. “We’re getting a lesson in the way fear works.”3.美国是一个一向以开放自豪甚至洋洋得意的国家,在这里,人们可以独自在美国国会大楼中闲庭信步,而现在,恐怖袭击很有可能迫使美国人处处小心,惶惶不可终日。
其实我们很大程度上已经是这样了。
许多政府大楼的前门装设的金属探测器已然成为一道风景线,大部分的办公大楼里也必备保安。
In a country long proud and even boastful of its openness—a country where an ordinary citizen can stroll through the U.S. Capitol unescorted—the terrorist attacks are likely to force Americans to a lot of that. Metal detectors now mark the front door of many government buildings, and security guards are a fixture in the lobby of most large office buildings.4.报复有很大的危险,会引发和在中东及北爱尔兰一样的紧张的暴力和反暴力的恶性攀升。

Bill ClintonHillary Rodham Clinton[1] Bill Clinton was hard to miss in the autumn of 1970. He arrived at Y ale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford. He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that reddish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores. When I first saw him in the law school’s student lounge, he was holding forth before a rapt audience of fellows tudents. As I walked by, I heard him say: “. . . and not only that, we grow the biggest watermelons in the world!” I asked a friend, “Who is that?” [2]“Oh, that’s Bill Clinton,” he said. “He’s from Arkansas, and that’s all he ever talks about.”[3]We would run into each other around campus, but we never actually met until one night at the Y ale law library the following spring. I was studying in the library, and Bill was standing out in the hall talking to another student, Jeff Gleckel, who was trying to persuade Bill to write for the Y ale Law Journal. I noticed that he kept looking over at me. He had been doing a lot of that. So I stood up from the desk, walked over to him and said, “If you’re going to keep looking at me, and I’m going to keep lookin g back, we might as well be introduced. I’m Hillary Rodham.” That was it. The way Bill tells the story, he couldn’t remember his own name.[4]We didn’t talk to each other again until the last day of classes in the spring of 1971. We happened to walk out of Professor Thomas Emerson’s Political and Civil Rights course at the same time. Bill asked me where I was going. I was on the way to the registrar’s office to sign up for the next semester’s classes. He told me he was heading there too. As we walked, he complimented my long flower-patterned skirt. When I told him that my mother had made it, he asked about my family and where I had grown up. We waited in line until we got to the registrar. She looked up and said, “Bill, what are you doing here? You’ve already registered.” I laughed when he confessed that he just wanted to spend time with me, and we went for a long walk that turned into our first date.[5]We both had wanted to see a Mark Rothko exhibit at the Y ale Art Gallery but, because of a labor disp ute, some of the university’s buildings, including the museum, were closed. As Bill and I walked by, he decided he could get us in if we offered to pick up the litter that had accumulated in the gallery’s courtyard. Watching him talk our way in was the fir st time I saw his persuasiveness in action. We had the entire museum to ourselves. We wandered through the galleries talking about Rothko and twentieth-century art. I admit to being surprised at his interest in and knowledge of subjects that seemed, at first, unusual for a Viking from Arkansas. We ended up in the museum’s courtyard, where I sat in the large lap of Henry Moore’s sculpture Draped Seated Woman while we talked until dark. I invited Bill tothe party my roommate, Kwan Kwan Tan, and I were throwing in our dorm room that nigh t to celebrate the end of classes. Kwan Kwan, an ethnic Chinese who had come from Burma to Yale to pursue graduate legal studies, was a delightful living companion and a graceful performer of Burmese dance. She and her husband, Bill Wang, another student, remain friends.[6]Bill came to our party but hardly said a word. Since I didn’t know him that well, I thought he must be shy, perhaps not very socially adept or just uncomfortable. I didn’t have much hope for us as a coupl e. Besides, I had a boyfriend at the time, and we had weekend plans out of town. When I came back to Yale late Sunday, Bill called and heard me coughing and hacking from the bad cold I had picked up.[7]“You sound terrible,” he said. About thirty minutes later, he knocked on my door, bearing chicken soup and orange juice. He came in, and he started talking. He could converse about anything―from African politics to countr y and western music. I asked him why he had been so quiet at my party. [8]“Because I was interested in learning more about you and your friends,”he replied.[9]I was starting to realize that this young man from Arkansas was much m ore complex than first impressions might suggest. To this day, he can astoni sh me with the connections he weaves between ideas and words and how he makes it all sound like music. I still love the way he thinks and the way helooks. One of the firs tthings I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands . His wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a piani st or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn th e pages of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of handshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, weathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient.[10]Soon after Bill came to my rescue with chicken soup and orange juice, we became inseparable. In between cramming for finals and finishing up m y first year of concentration on children, we spent long hours driving aroun d in his 1970 burnt-orange Opel station wagon―truly one of the ugliest car s ever manufactured―or hanging out at the beach house on Long Island So und near Milford, Connecticut, where he lived with his roommates, Doug E akeley, Don Pogue and Bill Coleman. At a party there one night, Bill and I ended up in the kitchen talking about what each of us wanted to do after gra duation. I still didn’t know where I would live and what I would do because my interests in child advocacy and civil rights d idn’t dictate a particular pat h. Bill was absolutely certain: He would go home to Arkansas and run for p ublic office. A lot of my classmates said they intended to pursue public serv ice, but Bill was the only one who you knew for certain would actually do it .11]I told Bill about my summer plans to clerk at Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, a small law firm in Oakland, California, and he announced thathe would like to go to California with me. I was astonished. I knew he had signed on to work in Senator Georg e McGovern’s presidential campaign and that the campaign manager, Gary Hart, had asked Bill to organize the South for McGovern. The prospect of driving from one Southern state to another convincing Democrats both to support McGovern and to oppose Nixon’s p olicy in Vietnam excited him.[12]Although Bill had worked in Arkansas on campaigns for Senator J. William Fulbright and others, and in Connecticut for Joe Duffey and Joe Lieberman, he’d never had the chance to be in on the ground floor of a presidential campaign.[13]I tried to let the news sink in. I was thrilled.[14]“Why,” I asked, “do you want to give up the opportunity to do something you love to follow me to California?”[15]“For someone I love, that’s why,” he said.[16]He had decided, he told me, that we were destined for each other, and he didn’t want to let me go just after he’d found me.[17]Bill and I shared a small apartment near a big park not far from the University of California at Berkeley campus where the Free Speech Movement started in 1964. I spent most of my time working for Mal Burnstein researching, writing legal motions and briefs for a child custody case. Meanwhile, Bill explored Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. On weekends, he took me to the places he had scouted, like a restaurant inNorth Beach or a vintage clothing storeon Telegraph Avenue. I tried teaching him tennis, and we both experimented with cooking. I baked him a peach pie, something I associated with Arkansas, although I had yet to visit the state, and together we produced a palatable chicken curry for any and all occasions we hosted. Bill spent most of his time reading and then sharing with me his thoughts about books like To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson. During our long walks, he often broke into song, frequently crooning one of his Elvis Presley favorites. [18]People have said that I knew Bill would be President one day and went around telling anyone who would listen. I don’t remember thinking that until years later, but I had one strange encounter at a small restaurant in Berkeley. I was supposed to meet Bill, but I was held up at work and arrived late. There was no sign of him, and I asked the waiter if he had seen a man of his description. A customer sitting nearby spoke up, saying, “He was here for a long time reading, and I started talking to him about books. I don’t know his name, but he’s going to be President someday.” “Yeah, right,” I said, “but do you know where he went?” [19]At the end of the summer, we returned to New Haven and rented the ground floor of 21 Edgewood Avenue for seventy-five dollars a month. That bought us a living room with a fireplace, one small bed room, a third room that served as both study and dining area, a tiny bathroom and a primitive kitchen. The floors were so uneven that plates would slide off thedining table if we didn’t keep little wooden blocks under the table legs to level them. The wind howled through cracks in the walls that we stuffed with newspapers. But despite it all, I loved our first house. We shopped for furniture at the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores and were quite proud of our student decor.[20]Our apartment was a block away from the Elm Street Diner, which we frequented because it was open all night. The local Y down the street had a yoga class that I joined, and Bill agreed to take with me―as long as I didn’t tell anybody else. He also came along to the Cathedral of Sweat, Y ale’s gothic sports center, to run mindlessly around the mezzanine track. Once he started running, he kept going. I didn’t. [21]We ate often at Basel’s, a favorite Greek restaurant, and loved going to the movies at the Lincoln, a small theater set back on a residential street. One evening after a blizzard finally stopped, we decided to go to the movies. The roads were not yet cleared, so we walked there and back through the foot-high snowdrifts, feeling very much alive and in love.[22]We both had to work to pay our way through law school, on top of the student loans we had taken out. But we still found time for politics. Bill decided to open a McGovern for President headquarters in New Haven, using his own money to rent a storefront. Most of the volunteers were Yale students and faculty because the boss of the local Democratic Party, Arthur Barbieri, was not supporting McGovern. Bill arranged for us to meet Mr.Barbieri at an Italian restaurant. At a long lunch, Bill claimed he had eight hundred volunteers ready to hit the streets to out-organize the regular party apparatus. Barbieri eventually decided to endorse McGovern. He invited us to attend the party meeting at a local Italian club, Melebus Club, where he would announce his endorsement.[23]The next week, we drove to a nondescript building and entered a door leading to a set of stairs that went down to a series of underground rooms. When Barbieri stood up to speak in the big dining room, he commanded the attention of the local county committee members―mostly men―who were there. He started by talking about the war in Vietnam and naming the boys from the New Haven area who were serving in the military and those who had died. Then he said, “Thiswar isn’t worth losing one more boy for. That’s why we should support George McGovern, who wants to bring our boys home.” This was not an immediately popular position, but as the night wore on, he pressed his case until he got a unanimous vote of support. And he delivered on his commitment, first at the state convention and then in the election when New Haven was one of the few places in America that voted for McGovern over Nixon. [24] After Christmas, Bill drove up from Hot Springs to Park Ridge to spend a few days with my family. Both my parents had met him the previous summer, but I was nervous because my dad was so uninhibited in his criticism of my boyfriends. I wondered what he would say to aSouthern Democrat with Elvis sideburns. My mother had told me that in my father’s eyes, no man would be good enough for me. She appreciated Bill’s good manners and willingness to help with the dishes. But Bill really won her over when he found her reading a philosophy book from one of her college courses and spent the next hour or so discussing it with her. It was slow going at first with my father, but he warmed up over games of cards, and in front of the television watching football bowl games. My brothers basked in Bill’s attention. My friends liked him too. After I introduced him to Betsy Johnson, her mother, Roslyn, cornered me on the way out of their house and said, “I don’t care what you do, but don’t let this one go. He’s the only one I’ve ever seen make you laugh!”。

Spillonomics: Underestimating Risk 漏油经济:低估风险 David Leonhardt Published: June 1, 2010 [1] In retrospect, the pattern seems clear. Years before the Deepwater Horizon [həˈraɪzn] rig [rɪɡ] blew, BP was developing a reputation as an oil company that took
safety risks to save money. An explosion at a Texas [ˈtɛksəs] refinery [rɪˈfaɪnəri] killed 15 workers in 2005, and federal regulators and a panel led by James A. Baker III, the former secretary of state, said that cost cutting was partly to blame. The next year, a corroded [kəˈrəʊd] pipeline in Alaska poured oil into Prudhoe Bay, upbraided [ʌpˈbreɪd]
BP managers for their “seeming indifference to safety and environmental issues. ['ɪʃju:z]” [1] 回想起来,模式似乎很清楚。早在“深水地平线”钻机自爆前的很多年,BP石油公司为了省钱甘冒安全的风险就已经声名狼藉。2005年得克萨斯州炼油厂爆炸中有15名工人丧生。联邦监管机构和前国务卿詹姆斯·贝克三世领导的专门小组认为,削减成本是事故的部分原因。第二年,阿拉斯加腐蚀的管道将石油漏入普拉德霍湾。就连乔·巴顿,对全球变暖持怀疑态度的来自得克萨斯州的共和党众议员,都谴责BP管理人员“对安全和环境问题表现得漠不关心” [2] Much of this indifference stemmed from an obsession with profits, come what may. But there also appears to have been another factor, one more universally human, at work. The people running BP did a dreadful [ˈdrɛdfəl] job of estimating the true
chances of events that seemed unlikely—but that would bring enormous costs. [2]这种冷漠大部分源于对利润的过度追求,不管出现什么情况。但似乎也还有另一个因素在起作用,一个更普遍的人性的因素。BP的管理人员在估计似乎不太可能发生但一旦发生就会带来巨大损失的事件真正会发生的可能性时,犯了一个可怕的错误。 [3] Perhaps the easiest way to see this is to consider what BP executives [ɪgˈzekjətɪv] must be thinking today. Surely, given the expense of the clean-up and the hit to BP’s reputation, the executives wish they could go back and spend the extra money to make Deepwater Horizon safer. That they did not suggests that they figured the rig would be fine as it was. [3]也许理解这一点最简单的方法就是思考一下BP高管们如今的想法。显然,考虑到清理费用和对BP声誉的影响,高管们真希望可以回到过去,多花些钱让“深水地平线”更安全。他们没有增加这笔费用就表明他们认为钻机在当时的状态下不会出问题。 [4] For all the criticism BP executives may deserve, they are far from the only people to struggle with such low-probability, high-cost events. Nearly everyone does. “These are precisely the kinds of events that are hard for us as humans to get our hands around and react to rationally ['ræʃnəlɪ],” Robert N. Stavins, an environmental economist at Harvard, says. We make two basic—and opposite—types of mistakes. When an event is difficult to imagine, we tend to underestimate its likelihood. This is the proverbial [prəˈvɜ:rbiəl] black swan. Most of the people running Deepwater Horizon probably never had a rig explode on them. So they assumed it would not happen, at least not to them. [4]尽管针对BP高管的所有批评可能都是他们应得的,但是他们绝不是唯一艰难应对这种低概率、高成本事件的人。几乎每个人都会如此。“这些正是我们人类处理时很难做出合理反应的一类事件,”哈佛大学环境经济学家罗伯特·斯塔文斯说。我们经常犯两种基本且性质相反的错误。当一件事情是很难想象的,我们往往会低估它的可能性。这就是众所周知的黑天鹅(稀有之物)现象。大多数在“深水地平线”工作的人可能从未经历过钻井平台爆炸。因此他们认为这不会发生,至少不会发生在他们身上。 [5] Similarly, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan liked to argue, not so long ago, that the national real estate market was not in a bubble [ˈbʌbl] because it had never been in one before. Wall Street traders took the same view and built mathematical models that did not allow for the possibility that house prices would decline[dɪˈklaɪn]. And many home buyers signed up for unaffordable mortgages[ˈmɔ:rgɪdʒ], believing they could refinance or sell the house once its price rose. That’s what house prices did, it seemed. [5]同样,不久以前,本·伯南克和艾伦·格林斯潘也喜欢称全国房地产市场没有泡沫,因为以前从未有过泡沫。华尔街交易员也持同样观点,他们建立的数学模型根本不存在房价下降的可能性。许多购房者签订了负担不起的抵押贷款,相信一旦其价格上涨,他们可以再融资或卖掉房子。看起来房价好像是在上涨。 [6] On the other hand, when an unlikely event is all too easy to imagine, we often go in the opposite direction and overestimate the odds. After the 9/11 attacks, Americans canceled plane trips and took to the road. There were no terrorist [ˈtɛrərɪst]
attacks in this country in 2002, yet the additional driving apparently led to an increase in traffic fatalities. [fəˈtæləti]
[6]另一方面,当一个不太可能发生的事件是很容易想象的,我们经常会走向另一个方
向,高估它的可能性。“9·11”恐怖袭击后,美国人取消了飞机旅行,转而驾车上路。2002年在这个国家没有发生恐怖袭击,但更多的驾车出行显然导致了交通死亡人数的增加。 [7] When the stakes are high enough, it falls to government to help its citizens avoid these entirely human errors. The market, left to its own devices, often cannot do so. Yet in the case of Deepwater Horizon, government policy actually went the other way. It encouraged BP to underestimate the odds of a catastrophe. [7]当风险非常高时,应该由政府负责以帮助避免这些完全人为的错误。如果让市场自行其是,往往做不到这一点。然而,在“深水地平线”这件事情上,政府的政策实际上起到了相反的作用。它助长BP低估了灾难的可能性。 [8] In a little-noticed provision [prəˈvɪʒən] in a 1990 law passed after the Exxon Valdez spill, Congress capped a spiller’s liability over and above cleanup costs at $75
