How do Use a Dictionary

In Books 1 and 2 we have suggested using context clues and word p art clues to help determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. But when those methods don't work, you have to use the dictionary. A dictiona ry is like any other tool: you must familiarize yourself with it and learn how to use it before it begins to work well for you. We would a dvise you to use an all English dictionary, as it provides you with w ord definitions often impossible to learn in other ways, Here is an e xample of the dictionary entry for the word "shaft".

Now let's see if you can decide which of the definitions from the a bove entry best fits the "shaft" in each of the sentences below and w hat part of speech it is.

1. The accident took place when the miners had just gone down the s haft.

2. There seemed to be a shaft of light in the far distance. None of us could tell what it was.

3. If you shaft some body who is already down, no one will trust yo u any more.

4. The shaft of love has struck him all of a sudden.

5. There might be something wrong with the shaft of the engine.

Justice Gets Its Shot at Policeman

Mike Royko

Joel Smith is in poor health and he is thinking of retiring to a quie t cabin in Tennessee. But a few years ago he was strong and he liked his job as a cop in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont.

One day in 1979, he was informed that a man was firing a gun in front of an apartment complex. The man had quarreled with his girlfriend a nd had fired a gun into the air to scare away people who were interfe ring. Then he dragged her into his apartment.

Smith and his partner hurried there, knocked, and told him to let the girl go. But the man threatened that if they came in, he would blow their rear quarters off. When they kicked the door open, the man shot twice, Smith was hit in the hand and leg. Then the man threw down hi s gun and surrendered.

()He was Kerry Rudman, 33, and no stranger to trouble. At the time of the shooting, he was awaiting trial for robbing a jewelry store in a suburban shopping mall.

Smith spent a week in the hospital and six weeks at home. But by 1981 he had to have further surgery on his hand. And month later, he suff ered a stroke. The doctors said the blood clot could have been the re

sult of the bullet wounds.

His marriage suffered and ended in divorce. That, too he says was the result of the shooting.

Rudman pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a total of six years in pr ison for the robbery and the shooting of Smith.

But he served less than half of that. He was out in 27 months. ()So t hat amounts to about a year for shooting and possibly disabling a cop, and a year for robbing a jewelry store.

While in prison, Rudman developed a thirst for knowledge and went to the prison library. He read law books, and then filed a federal suit against the policemen. He said they attacked him and that he shot onl y in self-defence. And they beat him so badly that they broke one of his fingers. This ,he said, deprived him of his civil rights, and he asked for $ 150,000 in damages.

When Smith heard about the law suit, he was outraged at Rudman's gall. So Smith sued Rudman for shooting him.

"It wasn't that I was after money. I just wanted to make sure that he was found guilty again in the civil suit."

A jury agreed with Smith. They later awarded him $ 35,000 damages fro m Rudman, But Smith hasn't seen a nickel of the money.

It turned out that Rosemont's insurance company decided that fighting Rudman's civil rights suit wasn't worth the legal expense. So the co mpany offered Rudman a $6,000 settlement. (3)Being no dummy, he quick ly accepted. Not many guys shoot a cop and pocket $6,000 for their ef forts.

Smith's lawyer went before a federal magistrate who is handing this m atter and filed legal papers that would force the insurance company t o give the $6,000 to Smith instead of Rudman. That does make a certai n amount of sense, since Rudman, the exgunman, does owe Smith, the ex -cop $35,000.

But for some reason this angered the federal magistrate. He griped th at Smith's lawyer was just harassing Rudman and his lawyer. (4)So in what seems like an unusual ruling, he told the insurance company to w rite out a check to him, the magistrate. Then he, the magistrate, cou ld write out a personal check to Rudman, the ex-gunman. And that woul d settle the affair. The checks could be written at any moment.

When the magistrate, James T.Balog, was asked about this check-writin g arrangement, he said he could not discuss it since the case is stil

l pending. (5)But if he goes ahead with it, Rudman will get the money. And Smith, the disabled cop, will limp away to a cabin in Tennessee, knowing that all he got was the shaft.

司法部门向警察倒打一耙

迈克?罗伊克

乔尔?史密斯身体不好，正在考虑退休，住在田纳西州一个安静的小木屋去。可就在几年前，他还是壮壮实实的，热爱自己在芝加哥郊区罗斯蒙特所从事的警察工作。

1979年的一天，他得知有个男子在一幢公寓大楼前开枪。这人刚跟他女朋友吵过架，还朝天开了一枪想吓退那些正在劝架的人，随后他就把她拖进了自己的住所。

史密斯和他的同事匆匆赶到那里，敲门要他放了那女的。那人却威胁说，他们要是闯进来，他就把他们的屁股都打烂。他们把门踢开后，那人开了两枪。史密斯手上和腿上各挨了一枪。随后那人就放下枪投降了。

（1）他叫克里?拉德曼，33岁，惹事生非也不是第一次了。就在枪击事件发生的那阵子，他还因为抢劫郊区的购物中心的一家珠宝店而在候审。

史密斯在医院住了一个星期，又在家休养了6个星期。可是到了1981年，他不得不再次接受手部手术治疗。一个月之后，他还中了一次风。医生们说血块可能是枪伤所致。

他的婚姻发生了危机，最后以离婚告终。他认为那也是枪击事件的后果。

拉德曼认了罪，因抢劫和枪击史密斯总共被判处6年徒刑。

但他只服了不到一半的刑期，27个月后就出狱了。（2）那就是说，枪击并可能致残一位警察只服了约一年的刑，抢劫珠宝店也仅服刑一年。

在狱中，拉德曼萌发了求知欲，常去狱中图书馆。他阅读各种法律书籍，接着就对那两个警察向联邦法庭提出了起诉。他声称两人袭击他，他开枪纯属自卫。他们还狠揍了他一顿，把他的一个手指都打断了。他说这是剥夺了他的公民权，为此他要求15万美元的赔偿。

史密斯听说了一这诉讼之后，对拉德曼的厚颜无耻怒不可遏。于是他起诉拉德曼枪击自己。

"我不是为了钱。我只是想一定要让他在民事诉讼案中同样被判有罪。"

陪审团和史密斯的看法相同。后来陪审团判定他应从拉德曼那儿获得3万5千美元赔偿金。可这笔钱史密斯至今连一个子儿都没见着。

原来，罗斯蒙特的保险公司认定，跟拉德曼打民事诉讼官司连诉讼费用都捞不回来。于是保险公司提出给拉德曼6千美元了结这事。（3）他可不是傻瓜，赶紧接受了。没有几个人枪伤了警察，还能因此捞进6千美元。

史密斯的律师向处理这一案件的联邦法官提交了有关法律文件，强令保险公司将6千美元给史密斯，而不是给拉德曼。这多少还说得过去，因为曾持枪伤人的拉德曼的确欠原来当警察的史密斯3万5千美元。

可是，不知由于什么原因，那位联邦法官为此大为恼火。他抱怨说史

密斯的律师不过是在骚扰拉德曼及其律师。（4）于是在一项显得非同寻常的裁决中，法官要保险公司一张支票给他本人，然后他这个联邦法官，再开一张个人支票给曾持枪伤人的拉德曼，这样就能把事情了结了。这两张支票随时都可能开出。

当法官詹姆斯?T?巴洛格被问及开支票这一安排时，他表示无可奉告，因为此案尚未判决。（5）可是，如果他果真照此办理，拉德曼便能得到这笔钱。

而史密斯，这位被致残的警察，将一瘸一拐地去田纳西州的某个小木屋，明白自己完全是被耍弄了。

A Funny Mistake

At 8:15 one Sunday morning, a police officer saw a man climbi ng down a drainpipe from an open bedroom window. As soon as the man r eached the ground, the officer caught him by the arm.

Spotting the bedroom window still open, he climbed up the drainpip e. As he was again leaving, the officer saw him. Just as the officer was figuring out whether or not it was only a funny mistake, a woman shouted from the kitchen window, "Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing h ere? I thought you'd gone away an hour ago."

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译

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 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”，而“获悉某

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. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
