4.sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.
5.immediately a great number if Jews rushed out wildly with excitement from their dark hole-like cells everywhere
6.every one of these poor Jews considers the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they cannot possibly afford.
7.however, a while-skinned European is always easy to be noticed
8.if you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see every thing but the human beings
9.no one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas for these trips would not be interesting.
10.for ninety percent of the people, life is very hard. by working extremely hard, they can only produce a little food from the poor soil.

LESSON 4
1.our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. but
today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.
2.this much we promise to do and we promise to do more.
3.United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.
4.we will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.
5.the United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.
6.we pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would cont inue to be in effect or in force.

3.this dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.
4.the country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.
5.the model they follow in building their houses is a brick standing upright. all the houses they have built look like bricks standing upright.
6.these brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.
7.when the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills, it takes on the color of a rotten egg.
8.red brick, even in steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time.
9.I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying to God.
10.they shoe such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked. when one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one
feels they must be the work of the devil himself.
11.it is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.
12.people in certain strata of American society seem definitely to hunger after ugly things, while in other less Christian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.
13.these ugly designs, in some way that people cannot understand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind.
14.they put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.
15.from the interlinings of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth.
翻译L2
20-21然而这些人的奇特之处就在于他们几乎像是透明人。几个星期以来，几乎每天在同一个时间段，都会有一对老妇人背着柴火从我房前蹒跚而过。尽管我的眼睛已经记录下这一幕，但仍然不能说我真正看到了他们。我多看到的只是成捆的火柴在慢慢的向前移动。直到有一天我碰巧走在他们后面的时候，看到一捆火柴很奇怪的时上时下，这才让我注意到原来下面还有人。这是我第一次注意到这些可怜的老妇人土色的躯体，一些在重压之下弯曲变形，瘦骨嶙峋的躯体。但是我觉得我来到摩洛哥还不到五分钟就已经注意到驴子的负荷过重，并为此颇感愤怒。毫无疑问，这儿的驴子受到了虐待，摩洛哥的驴子身形几乎与圣伯纳犬一样大小，但它承受的负荷在英国军队里让一头高约一点五米的骡子驮都嫌重，而且，它身上的驮鞍经常一连几个星期都不卸下。但是，让人觉得有其可悲的是，摩洛哥的驴子是地球上最温顺的动物，不需要安上笼头或者缰绳，它就如同一条狗一样听从主人的吩咐。拼命工作十几年后，它便一下子倒地死了，这时它就会被主人丢到沟里，在尸体变冷之前，它的五脏六腑早已被村狗掏出来吃掉了。
这类事情真是令人义愤填庸，然而，一般来说，人类的困境却没有引起同样的反响。我并不是在发表议论，而仅仅是在陈述一个事实。棕色人近乎于无形。人人都会去同情一头脊背磨上的驴子，但若要注意到柴火堆下的老妇人，只能归于某种巧合。
LESSON 4
23．我们能否建立一个把东西南北联在一起的雄伟的全球联盟来对付这些敌人，以此确保人类享有更富有成效的生活的？你愿意参加这项具有历史意义的行动吗？
24. 在漫长的历史世界中，只有少数几代人能在面临极大危险的时刻自觉担负起捍卫自由的任务。在这一重任面前，我不畏缩，我欢迎这一重任。我们不会有人愿意与别人或另一代人交换位置。我们从事这一事业的那种精力、信仰和献身精神将照耀我们的国家和一切为此努力的人们。这一火焰所发出的光芒将真正照亮这个世界。
25. 因此，我的美国同胞们，你们应该问的不是你们的国家能为你们做什么，而是你们自己能为你们的国家做些什么。
26. 和我处在同样地位的世界各国的公民们，你们应该问的不是美国会为你们做什么，而是我们一起能为人类的自由做些什么。
27. 最后，无论你们是美国公民还是世界各国的公民，请以我们在此要求你们的那种力量和牺牲的高标准反过来要求我们吧。良心是我们唯一可靠的报酬，历史是我们行为的最后裁判。让我们迈步向前，去领导我们热爱的国家吧，我们祈求上帝的保佑和帮助，但是我们知道，上帝在人间的工作其实就是我们自己的工作。
LESSON 5
145. 我甩掉了前额上的汗珠。“波利，”我用嘶哑的声音说道，“你不要死板的接受这些东西，我是说那只是课堂上讲的东西。你知道学校讲的东西与现实生活之间是没有什么联系的。”146. “绝对判断。”她说道，嬉戏地向我摇摇指头。
147. 这一下可是我恼火了。我猛地跳了起来，像公牛似的吼叫着，“你到底想不想和我相爱？”
148. “我不想。”她答道。
149. “为什么不想？”我追问道、
150. “因为今天下午我答应了皮蒂·伯奇，我愿意和他谈恋爱。”
151. 我被皮蒂这一无耻行径气得一阵眩晕，情不自禁的向后退去。皮蒂答应了问我，和我成交了，还跟我握手了呢！“这个可耻的家伙！”我尖着嗓子大叫，把一块块草皮踢了起来。“你不能和他在一起，波利。他是一个说谎的人，一个骗子，一个可耻的家伙！”
152. “井下投毒，”波利说，“别叫嚷了，我认为大声叫嚷本身就是一种谬误。”
153. 我以极大地意志力把语气缓和下来。“好吧，”我说，“你是一个逻辑学家。那就让我们从逻辑上分析这件事吧。你怎么会选中皮蒂，而不选我呢？你瞧我——一个才华横溢的学生，一个了不起的知识分子，一个前途无量的人；而皮蒂——一个笨蛋，一个反复无常的人，一个吃了上顿不知道有没有下顿的家伙。你能给我一个合乎逻辑的理由来说明你为什么要跟皮蒂好吗？”
154. “当然能，”波利肯定地说，“他有一件浣熊皮大衣。”
LESSON 7
1. 几年前的一个冬日，我乘坐宾夕法尼亚铁路公司的一班快车离开匹兹堡，向东行驶一小时，穿越了威斯特摩兰县的煤城和钢都。这是我熟悉的地方，无论是童年时期还是成年时期，我常常经过这一带。但以前我从来没有感到这地方荒凉得这么可怕。这儿正是工业化美国的心脏，是其最赚钱、最典型活动的中心，世界上最富裕、最伟大的国家的自豪和骄傲——然而这儿的景象却又丑陋得这样可怕，凄凉悲惨得这么令人无法忍受，以致人的抱负和壮志在这儿成了令人毛骨悚然的、令人沮丧的笑料。这儿的财富多得无法计算，简直都无法想象——也是在这儿，人们的居住条件又是如此之糟，连那些流浪街头的野猫也为之害羞。
2 .我说的不仅仅是脏。钢铁城镇的脏是人们意料之中的事。我指的是所看到的房子没有一幢不是丑陋得令人难受，畸形古怪得让人作呕的。从东自由镇到格林斯堡，在这全长25英里的路上，从火车上看去，没有一幢房子不让人看了感到眼睛不舒服和难受。有的房子糟得吓人，而这些房子竞还是一些最重要的建筑——教堂、商店、仓库等等。人们惊愕地看着这些房子，就像是看见一个脸给子弹崩掉的人一样。有的留在记忆里，甚至回忆起来也是可怕的：珍尼特西面的一所样子稀奇古怪的小教堂，就像一扇老虎窗贴在一面光秃秃的、似有麻风散鳞的山坡上；参加过国外战争的退伍军人总部，设在珍尼特过去不远的另一个凄凉的小镇上。沿铁路线向东不远处的一座钢架，就像一个巨大的捕鼠器。但我回忆里出现的三要还是一个总的印象——连绵不断的丑陋。从匹兹堡到格林斯堡火车调车场，放眼望去，没有一幢像样的房子。没有一幢不是歪歪扭扭的，没有一幢不是破破烂烂的。
高级英语第六课Blackmail译文
第六课 讹诈 阿瑟?黑利 负责饭店保安工作的欧吉维探长打了那个神秘的电话，本来说好一个小时后光临克罗伊敦夫妇所住的套房的，可实际上却过了两个小时才到。结果，当外间门上的电铃终于发出沉闷的嗡嗡声时，公爵夫妇的神经都紧张到了极点。 公爵夫人亲自去开门。此前她早已借故把女仆支开，并且狠心地给那位脸儿圆圆的、见到狗就怕得要死的男秘书派了一个要命的差事，让他牵着贝德林顿狼犬出去散步。想到这两个人随时都会回来，她自己的紧张情绪怎么也松弛不下来。 随着欧吉维进屋的是一团雪茄烟雾。当他随着她走进起居室时，公爵夫人目光直射着这个大肥佬嘴里叼着的那烧了半截的雪茄。“我丈夫和我都讨厌浓烈的烟味，您行行好把它灭了吧!” 探长那双夹在面部隆起的肉堆中的猪眼睛轻蔑地将她上下打量了一番。接着，他便移动目光，对这个宽敞豪华、设备齐全的房间扫视了一周，看到了那位正背朝窗户、神色茫然地望着他们的公爵夫人。 “你们这套房间布置得倒挺讲究的呢。”欧吉维慢条斯理地从口中拿下雪茄，敲掉烟灰，然后将烟蒂扔向靠右边的一个装饰性壁炉，但他失了准头，烟蒂掉到地毯上，他也不去管它。公爵夫人的嘴唇绷得紧紧的。她没好气地说道，“我想你该不是为谈论房间布置到这儿来的吧。” 他乐得咯咯直笑，肥胖的身子也跟着抖动起来。“不是的，夫人，怎么会呢!不过，我确实喜爱高雅的东西。”他压低了他那极端刺耳的尖嗓音接着说，“比如像你们那辆小轿车，就是停在饭店的那辆，美洲虎牌，是的吧?” “噢!”这声音不像是从口中说出来的，倒像是从克罗伊敦公爵鼻子中呼出来的。他的夫人马上瞪了他一眼，以示警告。 “我们的车子与你有什么相干呢?” 公爵夫人的这句问话似乎是个信号，一听到这个信号，探长的态度马上就变了。他猝然问道，“这儿还有别的人么?” 公爵回答道，“没有。我们早把他们都打发出去了。”
