1. strain When you feel strain, you feel pressure caused by a difficult situation or physical effort. So when are you likely to:

Suggested answer:

When things are difficult and you have to deal with the pressure, eg before taking exams or when you start your first job.

(b) feel eye strain?

Suggested answer:

Try not to look at the computer screen for too many hours or you'll feel eye strain. Every now and then you really need to rest your eyes.

(c) be under strain?

Suggested answer:

I'm sorry I was a bit impatient just now. Actually, I've been under strain with my work recently and I need to relax more.

(d) find it is a strain to hear something?

Suggested answer:

Do you mind turning the music down just a little bit? I've got a splitting headache and

I find it's a strain to hear heavy rock music just at the moment ... That's better, thanks!

2. stretch When you stretch something you make it as long or as straight as possible.

(a) What does it look like when you stretch out your arms?

Suggested answer:

It could look like a large cross or perhaps as if you're trying to give someone a warm welcome, with a hug.

(b) What do you do when you stretch your legs?

Suggested answer:

It normally means that you go out for a short walk, but occasionally it means that you stretch your legs out straight from a sitting position, eg when you are sitting on a plane.

(c) What is the traffic like if it stretches as far as the eye can see?

Suggested answer:

It's bad! It means that there is a long line of vehicles, like a traffic jam, going right into the far distance.

(d) How do you feel when someone stretches your patience?

Suggested answer:

You feel a bit frustrated or annoyed or even angry, but you do your best to stay in control and stay patient.

3. clue A clue is an object or fact which helps you solve a crime or mystery.

(a) What is a crossword clue?

Suggested answer:

It's a word or phrase that helps you to find the answer in a crossword — a word game in which the answers are written in words in rows of squares that cross each other. Generally, some letters in one word appear in another word. The clues can be easy or difficult: Difficult ones often have tricks with words, double meanings or references to wide general knowledge.

(b) How much do you know or understand if you don't have a clue?

Suggested answer:

If you haven't got a clue, then you don't know or understand much at all!

4. punch A punch is an act of hitting someone or something as hard as you can.

(a) Which part of a joke is the punch line?

Suggested answer:

The punch line is usually the last few words of a joke that make the joke funny. (b) What happens in a punch-up?

Suggested answer:

People fight in a rough or violent way (punching each other).

(c) What do you do if you pull your punches?

Suggested answer:

You express something negative a lot less strongly because, say, you do not want to upset or shock people, so you are gentler with your words (pull means pull back, to limit or stop a punch). "Don't pull your punches" is the opposite: You express your

feelings, opinions or criticism very clearly, without considering other people's feelings at all.

Translate the sentences into Chinese.

1. The rain had started to fall gently through the evening air as darkness descended over Sydney. Hundreds of lights illuminated Stadium Australia, and the noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalisingly in the distance.

Suggested answer:

当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸,但我的注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂在远处,很诱人。

2. I knew I would do my best, that I would run my heart out and finish the race. I felt the performer in me move in and take over. I had just two laps to run, that was all. Just two laps until the emotional and physical strain of the past two days and the last 28 years would be eclipsed by victory or failure. This race was all about survival.

Suggested answer:

我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。我只要跑两圈就行了,就两圈。跑完这两圈,过去两天以及28年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。

3. I understand—it's hard to get excited about a foreign sport if you didn't grow up with it. Now I'm colliding with this same cultural barrier. The World Cup soccer tournament begins on June 9 and I will have no clue what's going on out there on the "pitch". It seems a good time to blow the whistle on the so-called beautiful game.

Suggested answer:

我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来的运动,他就很难对它感兴趣。现在我正遭遇同样的文化壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要开始了,而我对球员在"球场"上干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一次大好机会。

4. Periodically a player gets an elbow in the face and goes down writhing. The clock stops while little men with black bags rush over and massage his phonybaloney injury, after which he jumps up good as new. The player who elbowed him gets something called a "yellow card", a mild reprimand.

Suggested answer:

时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂停计时,几个提着黑包的小个子男人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说的受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站起来。那位肘击他的球员会得到一张叫"黄牌"的东西:一种温和的惩戒。

Translate the sentences into English.

1. 当他知道自己未能入选校队时,他哭得很伤心,毕竟他经历了几个月的艰苦训练和激烈竞争,也学会了如何熟练地准确投篮。(cry one's heart out; go through)

Suggested answer:

He cried his heart out when he heard that he was not in the list of the school team.

After all, he had gone through months of hard training and gruelling competition, and had learned how to shoot with great skill and accuracy.

2. 那位以严格闻名的教练从一开始就要求队员抛弃一切杂念,超越他们的极限,以确保他们能在第29届北京奥林匹克运动会上摘得一枚奖牌。(mean for sb to do sth; from the start; push ... beyond limits)

Suggested answer:

The coach, who was known for his strictness, had meant from the very start for all the players to shut out all the distracting thoughts and push themselves beyond their limits to ensure that they win a medal at the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing.

3. 新教练接管了球队后,时时牢记自己的使命,并最终带领球队取得了联赛冠军。在接受采访时,教练激动得说不出话来。(take over; bear in mind; make it; at a loss for words) Suggested answer:

Since after he took over the team, the new coach has always borne in mind his mission and finally made it to the championship of the league matches. When interviewed, the coach was at a loss for words because of excitement.

4. 足球是一项很奇妙的运动。虽然最后的比赛结果往往是0—0, 1—0, 2—1, 但是这丝毫不影响人们去观看比赛。对我来说,足球的魅力到底在哪里一直是个谜。(flock; remain) Suggested answer:

Football is an amazing sport. Despite the fact that most finals are 0—0, 1—0 or 2—1, people keep flocking to see football games. For me, it remains a mystery what is so attracting about football.

揭足球的短

我的一位法国朋友在最近的一次晚宴上说起垒球时哈哈大笑:“当两个队友在场上来回投球时,另外七个小伙子在边上站着无事可做。”

我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来的运动,他就很难对它感兴趣。现在我正遭遇同样的文化壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要开始了,而我对球员在“球场”上干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一次大好机会。

我看足球也有好几年了,我所看到的就是22个穿着短裤的成年人在场上疯狂地奔跑,力争踢到球,互相绊倒对方。我猜想他们的目的是要把球踢进网里(也叫球门),可是,如果不是碰巧的话,球是很难靠近球门的。

看起来,我们现在谈论的是一项靠运气取胜的运动。

整整一个半小时,球场上一片混乱:球飞来飞去,球迷们在哼着一首悲伤的曲子,让人想起纳布卡的“奴隶合唱团”。双方队员好像都失控了。

记分法说明了一切:多数球赛都是以0-0、1-0或2-1结束,这意味着球赛结果倾向于平局,如果比赛结束时一方胜出了,那只是因为他们运气好。为了粉饰这种现象,他们称这样的比赛为“激烈”或“有悬念”。

足球新人——大多是美国人——或许不知道有多少种得分法。除了用脚踢球之外,在空中用头顶球也是允许的。可医生会告诉你,这可不是脑袋的最大用途。

老实说,很多进球是从某个无意中挡住球的球员身上反弹进球门的。观众喜欢这种进球,尤其是防守队员——当然是偶然地——把球送进了自家的网内。

射门最好地说明了这种比赛的碰运气性质:90%的射门(被称为“机会”,或在无望的情况下,称为“半个机会”;在法国称为opportunités)或被挡住,或因为射得太偏球直接飞上了看台。

万一球碰巧瞄准了,穿过长满毛的队员的腿滑进球门,那纯粹是运气。射门的人,亦称“前锋”,会因为纯属偶然的进球而独揽所有的赞誉,他会脱掉球衣,绕着圈猛跑,四、五个队友会扑到他的背上阻止他,让他穿上球衣。

接着又恢复了混乱,看台上的观众又开始哼歌曲,而计时器则在滴答声中慢悠悠地走向漫长的90分钟的尽头。

足球与垒球或篮球不一样,对足球来说准确的控球并不是最重要的,蒂埃里?亨利和几个巴西球员例外。让我们面对事实吧:上帝从未想让我们大多数人在全速跑动时用脚来控制球。

时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂停计时,几个提着黑包的小个子男人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说的受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站起来。那位肘击他的球员会得到一张叫“黄牌”的东西:一种温和的惩戒。

怎么会有战术和规则都如此模糊不清的运动呢?除了“伤停时间”之谜,还有那个被称为“越位”的规则,大概是指除非有两位对方球员在他的前头,否则前锋不能接队友的传球。为什么不能呢?这让所有的人都迷惑不解。

不必担心——即便是职业解说员也往往对此感到语塞。BBC的足球名嘴约翰?莫特森认为对越位规则“不存在国际通用的解释”。想想真正的足球(即美国人的橄榄球——译注)对“持球触地”没有一致的解释会有什么后果吧。

为何你们典型的足球比赛看上去如此失控呢?很简单,因为球场上只有一名裁判,他要负责管束22名极度兴奋的运动员。他不允许球员提出异议(否则就给他一张“红牌”,让他冲个澡走人)。但是,大多数的犯规,如推人、出拳打人、使绊、用膝盖顶人、手球都是在他看不到的情况下进行的。可是球迷都看见了,于是引发了观众席上更多的抱怨。

有一个谜一直解不开:为什么会有这么多人蜂拥前去观看这项比赛呢?我一定是漏掉了什么关键的东西。

梦想成真

当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸,但我的注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂在远处,很诱人。我心在剧烈地跳动,口干舌燥,肾上腺素猛增。童年的梦想就要实现了,这种感觉真是太奇妙了:令人非常兴奋,又胆战心惊。我知道,为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知的极限。我极力保持镇静,告诫自己不要紧张,要坚持按原计划做,按自己的节奏跑。我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快——这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜·普罗科霍洛娃不能超过十秒。如果我做到这一点,冠军就是我的了。我望着四百米跑道的起跑点,屏住了呼吸。这些年来,在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛的八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败,饱受挫折。现在,它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间。我的英国支持者在为我欢呼,声音特别大,就好像看台上只有他们是粉丝。我听到他们喊我的名字,为我鼓劲加油,听到他们充满希望的呐喊。宽阔美丽的体育场上到处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国的国旗,我感觉自己和观众融为了一体:我们有着同样的期盼,同样的梦想。几个小时前,我的脚踝在跳远时受了伤,缠上了绷带,但是我忘掉伤痛,尽量把注意力集中在观众身上。他们的叫喊声势浩大,使我精神振奋,我感到镇定自若。我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。我只要跑两圈就行了,就两圈。跑完这两圈,过去两天以及28 年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。我不断地告诉自己:也就是跑两分钟,谁都能跑两分钟。发令枪响了,比赛正式开始。第一圈还好,我跟其他人跑得一样快,但我觉得比平时要累得多,比我预想的要累得多。这次锦标赛赛前长达数周的艰苦训练以及这两天激烈的比赛所带来的疲劳在我的赛跑过程中显现出来了。精神和肉体的疲倦开始向我袭来,我不得不反击。普罗科霍洛娃一开始就领先。最重要的是我不能被她甩得太远,我得紧紧地跟着她。最后一圈的铃声响起时,我比她落后2.3 秒。只剩最后一圈了,就一圈,我能赢,我必须坚持跑下去。到最后150 米的时候我听见观众高声叫喊,在我最需要的时候为我加油助威——这时我的腿疼得要命,我看见我和那个俄罗斯运动员之间距离正在拉大。令人欣慰的是,我的脚还在继续向前迈步,这时候就全靠精神毅力来支撑了。普罗科霍洛娃正在向前冲,我不能让她甩开了,我必须跟上她。我开始倒数剩下的距离:60米、50 米、40 米、20 米。我看得见计时器了,我能赢,但成绩会很接近。最后终点线出现了,我冲了过去,累得精疲力竭。我跑完了。冲过终点线时我最初的念头是这次赛跑比预期的要艰苦得多,记得八周前我以2 分12.2 秒的成绩打破了个人最好成绩。然后,我的心思转向了比赛成绩:我赢了吗?我想我是赢了,过终点线时,我知道其她运动员的位置,我肯定我赢了。但是,如果我不是亲眼看见记分牌上的成绩,我就无法让自己相信这是真的。当我站在那里,抬头望着记分牌等待确认成绩时,我竭力打消脑子里消极的念头,但是我还是禁不住想:如果我再次与冠军失之交臂怎么办?如果我经历了这些磨难却又一次失败了,那该怎么办?Unit 6 Sporting life190我听见远处转播比赛的解说员在谈论两天来的艰难赛事,我好像听见有人说:“我觉得她做得够好了。”接下来,来自德国的萨拜因·布劳恩走过来告诉我我赢了,他们在我之前打听到了消息,她问我当奥运冠军是什么滋味。我笑了,但还是不敢肯定。接下来的那一刻将让我铭记一生:计分牌上我的名字亮了。那一刻我惊呆了。如释重负,平静了一会儿,感谢我内在的自我帮我度过了这两天。我感到全身一阵振颤,这时候该做的事是:高举双手,紧握双拳。我向粉丝们望去,他们正兴高采烈地挥舞旗帜,鼓掌呐喊。我是奥运冠军,奥运会的冠军。

How empathy unfolds 同感是怎样表露的 1 The moment Hope, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears welled up in her own eyes and she crawled off to be comforted by her mother, as though it were she who had been hurt. And 15-month-old Michael went to get his own teddy bear for his crying friend Paul; when Paul kept crying, Michael retrieved Paul's security blanket for him. Both these small acts of sympathy and caring were observed by mothers trained to record such incidents of empathy in action. The results of the study suggest that the roots of empathy can be traced to infancy. Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy. 霍普才九个月大,一见到另一个婴儿摔倒,泪水就涌了出来。她爬到妈妈身边寻求安慰,就好像是她自己摔疼了。15个月大的迈克尔把自己的玩具熊拿来给正在大哭的朋友保罗;保罗不停地大哭的时候,迈克尔替保罗捡回他的安乐毯。这些小小的表示同情和关爱的举动都是接受过记录同感行为训练的母亲们观察到的。这项研究的结果表明,同感的根源可以追溯到人的婴儿期。实际上,从出生的那天起,婴儿在听到其他婴儿哭闹的时候就会感到不安——有些人认为这种反应是同感的最初先兆。 2 Developmental psychologists have found that infants feel sympathetic distress even before they fully realize that they exist apart from other people. Even a few months after birth, infants react to a disturbance in those around them as though it were their own, crying when they see another child's tears. By one year or so, they start to realize the misery is not their own but someone else's, though they still seem confused over what to do about it. In research by Martin L. Hoffman at New York University, for example, a oneyear-old brought his own mother over to comfort a crying friend, ignoring the friend's mother, who was also in the room. This confusion is seen too when one-year-olds imitate the distress of someone else, possibly to better comprehend what they are feeling; for example, if another baby hurts her fingers, a one-year-old might put her own fingers in her mouth to see if she hurts, too. On seeing his mother cry, one baby wiped his own eyes, though they had no tears. 成长心理学家发现,甚至在充分意识到自己是独立于其他人而存在之前,婴儿就感受到了同情的苦恼。甚至在出生后几个月,婴儿就会对周围人的烦躁不安做出反应,就好像他们自己的烦躁不安一样,看到别的孩子哭也跟着哭。到了一岁左右,他们开始意识到痛苦不是他们的,而是别人的,可是他们对这样的事情似乎还是感到不知所措。例如,在纽约大学的马丁·L.霍夫曼所做的一项研究中,一个一岁的孩子把自己的妈妈拉过来安慰哭闹的朋友,却忽视了同在一室的朋友的妈妈。这样的困惑在其他一岁大的孩子身上也能看到,他们模仿别的孩子的痛苦,也许是为了更好地理解他们的感受。例如,如果别的婴儿伤了手指,一个一岁大的孩子就会把自己的手指放进嘴里,看看自己是否也感觉到痛。看到自己的妈妈哭,婴儿即使没有眼泪,也会擦拭自己的眼睛。 3 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener's theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself. He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can

新标准大学英语2综合教程课文翻译

第一单元 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人,这话可能是真的。但是,20 世纪60 年代有一件事人人都记得,那就是:上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。20 世纪60 年代,加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而,加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966 年,罗纳德·里根竞选加州州长,他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、持不同意见的少数人。在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国,巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟,发动了一场大罢工,最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。 20 世纪60 年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方,上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味,初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才得以阅读你的第一本禁书,看你的第一部独立影人电影,或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米·亨德里克斯或伦尼·布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光,你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了?大学怎么了?现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50%的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标,(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。不过,大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今,大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20 世纪60 年代大学生发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛,如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化促进会最近做了一项调查,研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是:课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式,以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段,是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会,上大学本身不再是目的,它给你提供一个机会,让你暂时想象一下:你能够改变世界。童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了,大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能是经济方面的。在一个没有保障的世界里,现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户,因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今,大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友嘛,没问题,我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。 “在那黎明时分活着是至福, 但年轻就等于身在天堂!” 华兹华斯的诗句说的可能是法国大革命,但是对于20 世纪60 年代的大学生而言,这样的诗句同样真实生动。可是为什么对于如今的大学生来说,它们怎么就不真实了呢? Active reading (2) 后一切的一代 弗兰克·托马斯是普林斯顿大学二年级学生,主修文学理论专业。他希望当人权律师。我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征,或了解美国大学是如何在变化的。这门

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel新编大学英语第二版第三册课文翻译

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel Transformative Travel Twenty-five years ago I felt like a wreck. Although I was just 23, my life already seemed over. The future appeared as much like a wasteland as the emptiness I could see while looking back to the past. I felt lost, without choices, without hope. I was stuck in a job I hated and trapped in an engagement with a woman I didn't love. At the time, both commitments seemed like a good idea, but I suppose it was the fantasy of being a successful, married businessman that appealed to me far more than the reality. I decided to take a class just for the entertainment value. It happened to be an introductory counseling course, one that involved personal sharing in the group. We were challenged to make commitments publicly about things we would like to change in our lives, and in a moment of pure impulsiveness, I declared that by the next class meeting I was going to quit my job and end my engagement. A few days later I found myself unemployed and unattached, excited by the freedom, yet terrified about what to do next. I needed some kind of transition from my old life to a new one, a sort of ritual that would help me to transform myself from one person into another. So I did something just as impulsive as my previous actions: I booked a trip for a week in Aruba. In spite of what others might have thought, I was not running away from something but to something. I wanted a clean break, and I knew I needed to get away from my usual environment and influences so as to think clearly about where I was headed. Once settled into my room on the little island of Aruba, I began my process of self-change. I really could have been anywhere as long as nobody could reach me by phone and I had the peace and quiet to think about what I wanted to do. I spent the mornings going for long walks on the beach, the afternoons sitting under my favorite tree, reading books and listening to tapes. Probably most important of all, I forced myself to get out of my room and go to meet people. Ordinarily shy, I now decided that I was someone who was perfectly capable of having a conversation with anyone I chose. Since nobody knew the "real" me, the way I had always been, I felt free to be completely different. It took me almost a year to pay off that trip, but I am convinced that my single week in Aruba was worth three years in therapy. That trip started a number of processes that helped me to transform myself. This is how I did it: I created a mindset that made me ready for change. I expected that big things were

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译 UNIT 1 “我原谅你” 1、并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居,甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。事实上,没有宽恕的氧气,任何人际关系都无从维系。宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质;它是所有关系的必要条件,也是自己的身心健康不可缺少的。 2、有些人可能认为,自己受伤太深、次数太多,无法宽恕。可耐人寻味的是,恰恰是被伤得最深的人,才真正需要宽恕别人,原因很简单:仇恨就像癌症,会毁掉宿主。如果不尽快铲除,它就会生根发芽,使那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。 3、因为事实是,除非我们能宽恕他人,否则就永远无法恢复。伤口会继续溃烂,永不愈合。中国有句古谚,“复仇者必自绝”。 4、对有些人来说,宽恕他人似乎是不可能的,因为他们根本不知从何做起。首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实:宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。事实上,对于我们大多数人来说,这也许是最难做到的。 5、被伤害的是我们,却还要宽恕他人,这似乎毫无公平可言,然而这正是宽恕的关键所在。 6、“宽恕并忘记”,这句俗话谁都会脱口而出,但实际上既简单又肤浅。一则这是绝对不可能的,二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。生活中最需要宽恕的事正是那些无法忘记的事。我们不应把这些事掩饰起来,而需记住它们,并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见,然后继续生活。 7、这就是为什么有的时候会感到:宽恕别人,一开始会相对容易些,难的是每次你看到那个人,与他谈话,甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举,而是持久的情感面对。 8、等待越久,宽恕就越难。实际上,时间不会愈合伤口,只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。如果要等待“适当的时候”,你也许永远都找不到机会。 9、开始运用宽恕的艺术之前,你先要问自己这样一个问题:我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢? 10、几年前,我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。最初几个月,它蒙蔽了所有人——美观、实用、人见人爱。我们认为它太适合我们家了。可时间一长,表面薄层的边角部分开始慢慢脱落。再也没有当初的效果了,不过至少它现在是以真实面目示人!事实是,不管喜欢不喜欢,在漂亮的表层下,我们都只是刨花板。因此,在我们评判别人之前,明智的做法是先在镜子里认真审视自己。我们越是审视自己,正视自己的缺点,便越愿意也越能够宽恕他人的缺点,宽恕得越多,也就越能体会到真正的满足。

There Is Magic in a Word of Praise赞美之词的魔力 一次,一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦:他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌,数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。“即使一个星期能赚10万美元,”他说,“那也像人间地狱一般。” 不仅演员需要掌声,没有赞扬和鼓励,任何人都会失去信心。因此,我们都有着双重需求:被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。说赞美的话是有技巧的,有正确的说法。比如,因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人,这不是真正的赞扬。你得运用辨别力和创造力。“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力,”一次,一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说,“我禁不住想,您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。”听到这意外的溢美之词,那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。 无论声名显赫还是默默无闻,没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日,我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。服务员递给我菜单时,我说,‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪!’服务员惊讶地看着我说:‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好,对服务评头论足,还埋怨太闷热。19年了,你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。’人们所需要的,”费尔普斯下结论道,“是作为人能得到一点点关注。”在那种关注中,真诚是至关重要的。当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他,他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。 孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏,将会危及性格的发展。一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事:“我的小女儿常常不听话,我不得不批评她。但是有一天,她特别乖,没有做一件会挨批评的事。当天晚上,我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时,听见她在抽泣。我走回去,发现她把头埋在枕头里。她一边呜咽一边问:‘难道我今天还不够乖吗?’” “那个问题,” 那位妈妈说,“像把刀一样刺痛了我。当她做错事时,我总是急于纠正,可是当她努力表现得好些时,我却没有注意。我哄她睡觉时连一句称赞的话都没有。” 同样的准则——说友善的话——适用于所有的人际关系。我小时候住在巴尔的摩,当时街坊里开了一家新的药店,为此我们那位技能娴熟、资历颇深的药剂师老派克·巴洛很生气。他指责他的年轻对手出售廉价药品而且在配药时没有经验。最后,那位受到伤害的新来的药剂师考虑以诽谤罪起诉对方,于是他去见了一位明智的律师托马斯·海斯。“别把争端扩大化,”海斯建议说,“试试友善(地处理)。” 第二天,当顾客们告诉他他的对手在讲他坏话时,这位新药剂师说,一定是哪里发生误会了。“派克·巴洛,”他对他们说,“是这个镇上最好的药剂师之一。他能在任何一刻、任何一天或任何一晚配出急救药方。他的细心是我们所有人学习的榜样。这个街坊已经扩大了—有足够的空间同时容下我们俩。我把他的药店当作我学习的典范。” 当那位老人听说这些话时——因为称赞和丑闻一样会长着闲聊的翅膀迅速散播——迫不及待地要亲自见见这个年轻人,给他一些有用的建议。怨恨因真挚诚实的赞扬而化解了。 为什么我们大多数人对于那些能让其他人高兴的事实避而不提呢?“给生者一朵玫瑰,其意义远远胜于送给逝者华丽的花圈。”一位风度翩翩的老绅士以前常常顺路去新罕布什尔州靠近康韦的一家古董店里推销商品。有一天,等他走了以后,古董商的妻子说,她很想告诉他他的来访给他们带来了很多乐趣。丈夫回答说:“下一次我们告诉吧。” 第二年夏天,一个年轻女子来到店里,她自我介绍说是那个销售员的女儿。她说,她的父亲已经去世了。“从那天以后,”古董店老板说,“不管什么时候当我想到一个人的优点,我就会立即告诉他。也许我不再有另一个机会了。” 如同艺术家们在把美展示给别人的过程中能获得满足一样,任何一个掌握赞美艺术的人会发现它对给予者和接受者来说都是一种幸福。它给陈词滥调注入温暖和愉悦,将喧嚣的世界转变成优美的音乐。 每个人身上都有值得称道的地方。我们只是需要把它说出来。

Unit 9 Music In-Class Reading Music to Your Gear 参考译文 音乐与开车 安迪·埃利斯 1 尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息,但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明,听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力,而且心理学家也提醒人们,不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的,尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。 2 音乐有两个极端,任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶,而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐,会使司机过分放松,以至于丧失安全意识,陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。 3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全,它委托搞了一个项目,研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现,17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现,这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。 4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响,会使人易怒好斗,开起车来就会冲劲十足,这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。 5 在试验中,给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐,他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车,但的确发现自己换档更快了,加速也快了,刹车更急了。若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲,他们承认经常感到自己走神,他们在高速公路上长途开车时,至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。 6 这些自愿参试的司机(有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照)所发表的意见非常说明问题。十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会,“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。” 7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZ Top乐队最流行的曲子,他说,“我一直在快速行驶,扯着嗓门唱歌,没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。” 8 还有些人说:“我陷入了深思”…… “人的感觉会变得麻木” …… “听不见别的汽车是个问题”,“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。” 9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐,如肖邦的音乐,会刺激人的大脑,使思维模式发生变化,激发阿尔法脑波,使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处,但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利?费希尔教授提醒人们说:“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力,甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态,那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。” 10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听,但是当交通状况糟糕时,或是交通拥挤时,这种音乐会分散你的注意力。” 11 然而,音乐也有其好的一面,正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特?韦斯特所指出的那样:“如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶,那么反过来也是有道理的。
