UNIT1

思考作为一种嗜好

当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。他的办公室里有一些小雕像。就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。她象征着爱。她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，

“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”

哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”

然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。我跟校长没什么好说的。他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”

不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。“那你最好学一学——你学了吗？”

有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

“一个人真正在思考的时候是这个样子的。”

显然我是缺了点什么。大自然赋予其余的所有的人第六感觉却独独漏掉了我。我像那些生来耳聋却决意苦苦寻求声音的人一样观察着我的老师们，想要了解思想。

那时有位豪顿先生，他总是要我思考。他带着谦逊的满足告诉我他自己就动过一点脑筋思索过。那么他为什么花那么多时间酗酒？莫非酗酒其实比外表看起来更有意义？而如果不是这样，酗酒事实上损害健康——豪格先生无疑被酒毁了的——那他为什么还成天谈论纯净的生活以及新鲜空气的好处？

有时候讲到兴头上，他会从讲台上跳下来，把我们一窝蜂地赶到外头凛冽的风中去。

“现在，孩子们！深呼吸！感觉上帝创造的美好气流直接进入你们的体内！”

他会站在我们面前，叉着腰，深深地吸一口气。他会你能听到风被他的胸腔堵住，遇到障碍物艰难前进发出的声音。他的身体因为不习惯这样的感觉而摇摇

晃晃，脸色变得惨白。他会步履蹒跚地走回讲台，然后瘫软在那里，一个上午都缓不过劲来。

豪顿先生喜欢发表关于美好的、清心寡欲、尽职尽责生活的独白。但是在发表这些独白的间隙，如果有个女孩经过窗前，他的脖子就会不由自主地扭转过去，一直目送她走出视线之外。在这种情况下，我认为他不是受思想，而是受他后颈里某个看不到却无法抗拒的发条的控制。

我对于他的脖子十分感兴趣。通常它在领口上方稍稍凸出。但是豪顿先生在第一次世界大战中曾经和美国人和法国人并肩作战，而且对两个国家都深恶痛绝。无论这两个国家中哪一个在时事中表现突出，他都对它没有好感，任何论证都无法说服他。他会捶着桌子，脖子胀红：“你爱怎么说怎么说，”他会叫道：“但是我已经想过这个问题了，而且我知道我想什么！”

豪顿先生用他的脖子思考。

我要对我的老师们进行详细的分析是为了介绍一下通常被称为思想的本质。通过他们我发现思考通常是充满了无意识的偏见、无知和虚伪的。在训诫无私的纯真的时候它的脖子却为了短裙而执意扭曲。从技术上而言，它娴熟如同商人玩高尔夫，诚实如同政客的意图，或者有条理如同大多数写出来的书。这就是后来被我称作第三等级的思考，虽然事实上称它为感觉更为恰当。

诚然，偏见里是有无辜的成分，但是在那时我对第三等级的思考的态度是毫不宽容的蔑视和不假思索的嘲笑。我以驳斥一位憎恨德国人却主张爱我们的敌人的虔诚女士为乐。她让我懂得了和第三等级思考者打交道的一个重大的真理。因为她，我不再轻易地拒绝百分之九十的人可能经历过的精神过程。他们高度地团结一致。我们最好尊重他们，因为我们处于他们的包围之中，势单力薄。一大堆第三等级的思考者，众口一词，借着自己的偏见温暖双手，他们是不会感激你指出他们信仰中的矛盾的。人是一种爱群居的动物，就象牛喜欢沿着山坡的同一条道路吃草一样喜爱共识。

第二个等级的思考是对于矛盾的觉察。二级思考者不轻易人云亦云，尽管常常会犯另一个错，落在后面。第二等级思考是一种警醒状态下的退缩，因为第二等级思考具有破坏却没有创造的能力。它让我在冷眼看着人群为国王陛下欢呼的时候觉得这样的喧嚣不知所谓，却没有提供什么可以替代这样强烈爱国精神。但是这样的思考还是有好处的。听人们以狐狸喜欢这样的待遇为理由为他们捕猎狐狸。听我们的女首相谈论通过逮捕尼赫鲁和甘地这样的人跟印度协商的好处，美国政客们可以刚谈完和平转身就拒绝加入国际联盟的时候，是的，还是有令人高兴的时刻的。

但是，当我渐渐长大，进入青春期以后，我不得不承认豪顿先生不是唯一一个无法抗拒脖子里的发条的人。我也一样感觉到了强大的自然之手的力量，开始发现指出矛盾有可能代价昂贵，也可能是有趣的。比如说，曾经有个严肃而迷人的姑娘，她的名字叫露丝。那个时候我是一个无神论者，她是一个卫理会会派教徒。但是，呵呵，露丝没有用圣灵的精神来转化我，而是愚蠢地用她可爱的小嘴试图说服我。她声称圣经（詹姆士国王版）逐字逐句都是得到启示而来的。我反驳说天主教徒信仰圣杰罗姆的拉丁文圣经，而这两本书是不同的。争论顿时卡壳了。

最后她说有那么多卫理会会派教徒，他们不可能是错的，几百万的人都错了，可能吗？这太简单了，我倔强地说（你越接近露丝，她就越好接近），罗马天主教徒也为数众多，他们也不可能是错的，他们有几亿人，可能都错了吗？她眼中

扑闪着疑虑。我伸手揽过她的腰屏住呼吸低声说，如果算人数，我该捐钱给佛教徒。露丝溜掉了，我的手臂加上那些数不胜数的佛教徒实在让她无法忍受了。

那天晚上，她父亲来拜访我父亲，走的时候一副面红耳赤，义愤填膺的样子。我为发生过的事情受到了盘问。我失去了露丝，却冤枉地担上了准浪子的名声。

第二等级思考虽然让生活充满了乐趣和兴奋，却无法令人满足。寻找比我们年长的人的缺陷助长了年轻的自我，却无法让人觉得安全。它带着游泳者离开岸游了一段距离，然后把他留在那里，束手无策。本丢.彼拉多就是典型的第二等级思考者。“什么是真理？”他问道，一种十分常见却总出现在争论的末尾而不是开头的第二等级思考者。还有更高一级的思索问过“什么是真理？”后就开始去寻找它。

但这些第一等级思考者是十分罕见的。他们没有亲自来我的文法学校但却藏在书籍里。我向往他们是因为我雄心勃勃，因为我现在发现自己的嗜好如果不能更进一步就不能令人满意。如果你出发去爬山，不论你爬了多高，只要没到顶就不算成功。

我也可以成为第一等级思考者的。即使在人生最得意的时候我也是心无挂碍、玩世不恭的。政治和宗教系统、社会风俗、忠诚和传统，都象腐烂的苹果纷纷从树上掉落下来。最后我想出了为第一等级思考辩护永远的理由。我设计了一个连贯的生活体系。这是一个道德体系，完全合乎逻辑的道德体系。当然，我很乐意承认，要世界按我的思考方式转化将是困难的，因为我的体系废除了诸如大公司、中央政府、军队、婚姻等等之类的琐事。

又是露丝的问题。我曾有一些很要好的朋友站在我这边，他们现在仍然站在我这边。但是我的熟人都不见了，带着他们的女孩子消失了。姑娘们好象对世界的现状出奇的满意。有一个在皇家海军当下等兵的年轻人，对于不要大公司和婚姻乐意之至，但是一听我提议要一个没有战舰的世界时他的脖子跟豪顿先生一样胀得通红。

游戏太过火了？它还是游戏吗？在战前的那段日子，为了这个嗜好我固执地失去了很多东西。

现在你一定指望我描述我如何认识到了我自己路线的荒谬回到温暖的小巢了吧，回到那偏见常常被称为忠诚，无谓的行为因为重复被神圣化为风俗的小巢里，满足于把感觉说成思考。

但是，你错了。我把我的嗜好变成了职业。

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon 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 the kindness 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 the Atlantic 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 sign displaying 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 me about 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 in their 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 for stopping. 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 the grass 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 bought me 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 touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Unit 1 Your college years 1你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。 2在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。 3学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。 41984年4月杰利弗·A·霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。第四是摆脱“对父母的过度内疚、焦虑、疑惑、责任、反感和愤怒的心理”。大学生们需要退一步看清自己在介于独立与依赖之间的冲突中所处的位置。 5可能大学生们面临的最紧张的问题之一就是构建自己的性别特征，这包括与异性之间的关系和对未来自身男性或女性角色的设计。每个人必须将其性格特征定义为男性或女性角色。这一过程中兴奋与受挫并存。也许没有什么比恋爱更能让学生们情绪低落或高涨的。例如，我曾经和一位年轻的大学生共事，一次他欢呼雀跃的进了我的办公室，面带笑容，声音激动。年轻人宣布：“我刚度过了人生中最灿烂的一天。”他继续解释他是如何与一位超凡脱俗的女子相遇的，而且这份浪漫的爱情与他梦中所期待的完全一致。而不倒一个星期，同一个年轻人却拖着脚步神情沮丧的进了我的办公室。他在同一张椅子上坐下来，深深地叹了口气，宣布说：“我经历了人生中最糟糕的一天。”他和那个年轻女子刚刚吵过架，两人的关系不再看好。因而，大学生们与异性交往的方式对他们的情感必定有所影响。 6于此同时，这些刚刚成年的大学生也在学习如何在成年人的世界里奉献和收获情感。在这一角度上，成长不仅要处理与异性之间的关系，还要处理与两性及所有年龄段的朋友之间的关系。随着他们渐渐成人，他们与异性交往的方式也在发生变化。这时作为成年人他们应该思索如何与同龄人和睦相处并有礼有节，如何与他们生活中的青少年儿童和睦相处，如何与他们的父母和睦相处并表达自己的感情。举个我在西南浸礼教会学院读研究生时的例子，当我刚刚修完一门咨询课程后，我去探望父母。在学习这门课的过程中我渐渐意识到，当我的世界不断扩展，新的机遇不断出现时，我的父亲，一个年过花甲之人，正在亲眼目睹自己的世界在变小，选择在变少。在家的那些日子里，我和父亲几次谈心，共同探讨了我课程的内容以及它如何应用到我的生活中。我发觉自己正以一种不同的方式看待父亲，并且把他看作一个我可以鼓励的朋友。我有意识的去鼓励这个从前鼓励过我的人。我在以一种不同的方式与父亲交流。 7大学生的另一个变化就是内化他们的宗教信仰、价值尺度和道德观念。从出生开始，就有一位或更多的父母成为他们的榜样，教给他们特定的信仰、价值和道德。然而，当他们到了青春期，这些问题却遭到了质疑，在一些情况下甚至遭到了反叛。现在他们刚刚成年，他们有机会为自己决定人生中将会如何选择何种信仰、价值和道德。60年代末，一位生活在极度歧视其他种族的环境中的年轻女子深信自己种族的

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me.
