【导读】《银椅》讲述了主人公尤斯塔嘶和波尔在寄宿学校被一群坏学生追赶,意外闯入纳尼亚。两个少年接受狮王阿斯兰的重托,寻找凯斯宾国王失踪的独子——瑞廉王子。在忠实的伙伴沼泽怪的帮助下,他们经过重重考验,终于在地下王国找到王子。王子劈毁银椅,斩杀了地下女王,重回纳尼亚。

“MY name is Golg,” said the gnome.“And I'll tell your Honours all I know.About an hour ago we were all going about our work—her work,I should say—sad and silent,same as we've done any other day for years and years.Then there came a great crash and bang.As soon as they heard it,everyone says to himself,I haven't had a song or a dance or let off a squib for a long time; why's that? And everyone thinks to himself,why,I must have been enchanted.And then everyone says to himself,I'm blessed if I know why I'm carrying this load,and I'm not going to carry it any farther: that's that.And down we all throw our sacks and bundles and tools.Then everyone turns and sees the great red glow over yonder.And everyone says to himself,What's that? and everyone answers himself and says,There's a crack or chasm split open and a nice warm glow coming up through it from the Really Deep Land,a th ousand fathom under us.”

“Great Scott,” exclaimed Eustace,“are there other lands still lower down?”

“Oh yes,your Honour,” said Golg.“Lovely places; what we call the Land of Bism.This country where we are now,the Witch's country,is what we call the Shallow Lands.It's a good deal too near the surface to suit us.Ugh! You might almost as well① be living outside,on the surface itself.You see,we're all poor gnomes from Bism whom the Witch has called up here by magic to work for her.But we'd forgotten all about it till that crash came and the spell broke.We didn't know who we were or where we belonged.We couldn't do anything,or think anything,except what she put into our heads.And it was glum and gloomy things she put there all those years.I've nearly forgotten how to make a joke or dance a jig.But the moment the bang came and the chasm opened and the sea began rising,it all came back.And of course we all set off as quick as we could to get down the crack and home to our own place.And you can see them over there all letting off rockets and standing on their heads for joy.And I'll be very obliged to your Honours if you'll soon let me go② and join in.”

“I think this is simply splendid,” said Jill.“I'm so glad we freed the gnomes

as well as ourselves when we cut off the Witch's head! And I'm so glad they aren't really horrid and gloomy any more than the Prince really was well,what he seemed like.”

“That's all very well,Pole,” said P uddleglum cautiously.“But those gnomes didn't look to me like chaps who were just running away.It looked more like military formations,if you ask me.Do you look me in the face,Mr.Golg,and tell me you weren't preparing for battle?”

“Of course we were,your Honour,” said Golg.“You see,we didn't know the Witch was dead.We thought she'd be watching from the castle.We were trying to slip away without being seen.And then when you three came out with swords and horses,of course everyone says to himself:Here it comes,not knowing that his Honour wasn't on the Witch's side.And we were determined to fight like anything rather than give up③ the hope of going back to Bism.”

“I'll be sworn it is an honest gnome,” said the Prince.“Let go of it,friend Puddleglum.As for me,good Golg,I have been enchanted like you and your fellows,and have but newly remembered myself.And now,one question more.Do you know the way to those new diggings,by which the sorceress meant to lead out an army against Overland?”

“Ee-ee-ee!” squeaked Golg.“Yes,I know that terrible road.I will show you where it begins.But it is no manner of use your Honour asking me to go with you on it.I'll die rather.”

“Why?” asked Eustace anxiously.“What's so dreadful about it?”

“Too near the top,the outside,” said Golg,shuddering.“That was the worst thing the Witch did to us.We were going to be led out into the open—on to the outside of the world.They say there's no roof at all there; only a horrible great emptiness called the sky.And the diggings have gone so far that a few strokes of the pick would bring you out to it.I wouldn't dare go near them.”

“Hurrah! Now you're talking!” cried Eustace,and Jill said,“But it's not horrid at all up there.We like it.We live there.”

“I know you Overlanders live there,” said Golg.“But I thought it was because you couldn't find your way down inside.You can't really like it—crawling about like flies on the top of the world!”

“What about showing us the road at once?” said Puddleglum.

“In a good hour,” cried the Prince.The whole party set out.The Prince remounted

his charger,Puddleglum climbed up behind Jill,and Golg led the way.As he went,he kept shouting out the good news that the Witch was dead and that the four Overlanders were not dangerous.And those who heard him shouted it on to others,so that in a few minutes the whole of Underland was ringing with shouts and cheers,and gnomes by hundreds and thousands,leaping,turning cart-wheels,standing on their heads,playing leap -frog,and letting off huge crackers,came pressing round Coalblack and Snowflake.And the Prince had to tell the story of his own enchantment and deliverance at least ten times.

In this way they came to the edge of the chasm.It was about a thousand feet long and perhaps two hundred wide.They dismounted from④ their horses and came to the edge,and looked down into it.A strong heat smote up into their faces,mixed with a smell which was quite unlike any they had ever smelled.It was rich,sharp,exciting,and made you sneeze.The depth of the chasm was so bright that at first it dazzled their eyes and they could see nothing.When they got used to it they thought they could make out a river of fire,and,on the banks of that river,what seemed to be fields and groves of an unbearable,hot brilliance—though they were dim compared with the river.There were blues,reds,greens,and whites all jumbled together: a very good stained-glass window with the tropical sun staring straight through it at midday might have something the same effect.Down the rugged sides of the chasm,looking black like flies against all that fiery light,hundreds of Earthmen were climbing.

“我名叫戈尔格,”小精灵说,“我要把我所知道的全告诉各位大人。大约一小时以前,我们都在干着自己的活——我该说是她的活——大家又伤心又沉默,跟我们多少年来其他任何一天干活一模一样。接着传来了轰隆隆一声巨响。他们一听见这个声音,每个人都对自己说我已经很久没唱一支歌,没跳一支舞,没放一只爆竹了;那是为什么呢?每个人心里都在想,咦,我一定是被魔法迷住了。接着每个人还对自己说,要是我知道自己为什么要搬这么重的东西就好了,我就再也不打算搬下去了。就那么回事。于是我们把口袋、包裹和工具都扔下。随后大家就转身去看那边一大片红光。每个人都对自己说,那是什么啊?大家都自问自答说,原来有条裂缝或缺口豁开了,从几千英寻以下,真正的深层地底照上来一股好暖和的光哟。”

“老天爷,”尤斯塔斯惊叫道,“还有另外的地方比这儿更低吗?”

“哦,有的,大人,”戈尔格说。“可爱的地方。我们管它叫比斯姆国。我们现在所在的国家是女巫的国家,我们管它叫浅地。对我们来说,这儿离地面太近,不适合我们居住。呃!你还不如住在外面,住到地面上去呢。你瞧,我们都是从比斯姆国来的可怜的小精灵,是女巫用魔法把我们招到这儿来为她干活的。可是我们把这些事全忘了,直到传来轰隆一响,魔法破了

才想起来。我们不知道自己是什么人,从哪儿来。我们除了她灌到我们头脑里的东西,什么也不能干,什么也不能想。这么多年来她灌到我们头脑里全是些阴郁、愁闷的东西。我几乎已经忘掉了怎么说笑话,怎么跳快步舞了。不料轰隆一响,裂缝豁开了,海水开始涨起来了,一切才又想了起来。当然,我们大家都赶快出发,从裂缝下去,回到我们自己的地方去。而且你们能看见他们在那边放焰火,竖蜻蜓,闹着玩儿。要是你们能马上让我走,跟大家一道回去,我将十分感激各位大人。”

“我认为这简直太好了,”吉尔说,“我真高兴我们砍下女巫的头既解救了自己也解救了小精灵!而且我也很高兴他们其实并不那么可怕和忧郁,正如王子其实也并不是——嗯,看上去这副模样。”

“这固然很好,波尔,”普德格伦谨慎地说,“但那些小精灵在我看来并不像只是在逃跑。依我说呀,它们更像一些军事队形。看着我的脸,戈尔格先生,告诉我,你们不是在准备打仗吗?”

“我们当然准备打仗,大人,”戈尔格说,“不瞒你说,我们并不知道女巫死了。我们还以为她会从城堡里看着。我们正想法溜掉,不让她看见呢。后来你们三个出来了,拿着剑,骑着马,大家当然不免都在暗自说,这下可来了。我们不知道大人不是女巫一边的。我们决定宁可拼命战斗,也决不放弃回比斯姆的希望。”

“我敢说它是个诚实的小精灵,”王子说,“放开它,普德格伦朋友。至于我,好戈尔格,我也像你和你的同胞一样被魔法迷住过,也是刚刚想起我自己的本来面目。现在我再问一个问题。你知道那条到新挖坑道的路吗?就是女巫要领一支军队去打上面世界的那条地道?”

“咦——咦——咦,”戈尔格尖叫道,“是啊,我知道那条可怕的路。我可以指给你们看那条路从哪儿开始。但大人要叫我陪你们上那儿去,那可绝对不行,我情愿死。”

“为什么?”尤斯塔斯急切地问,“那儿有什么可怕的?”

“离上面、外面太近了,”戈尔格哆哆嗦嗦地说,“这是女巫对我们下的最毒的一手。我们就要被带出去——带到世界外面。听说,那儿根本没有顶层,只有可怕的一大块空白叫做天空。坑道已经挖得很远,只要再挖几锹就可以到外面去了。我可不敢走近那儿。”

“好哇,你这才谈得有点儿门了。”尤斯塔斯喊着说。吉尔说:“不过上面并不那么恐怖。我们喜欢那儿。我们就住在那儿。”

“我知道你们上面世界的人住在那儿,”戈尔格说,“但我认为这是因为你们找不到往地底下的路。你们不会真正喜欢那儿——像苍蝇似的在世界顶上爬来爬去。”

“你马上给我们指指路好吗?”普德格伦说。

“赶得早不如赶得巧。”王子叫道。他们这一伙就此出发。王子重新骑上了马,普德格伦爬到吉尔后面,戈尔格在前头带路。它一面走一面叫喊好消息,说女巫已经死了,这四个上面世界的人并不危险。听见它喊叫的,又把消息传给另外的小精灵,所以一会儿工夫,整个地下世

界都响起了欢呼声。成千上万的小精灵跳啊,翻筋斗啊,竖蜻蜓啊,玩跳背游戏啊,放大爆竹啊,还过来围着黑炭和雪花。王子只好把他自己中了魔法以及解脱苦难的经历讲了又讲,少说也讲了十遍。

他们就这样来到了缺口的边缘。这条缺口大约有一千英尺长,两百英尺宽。他们下了马,来到缺口边缘往下看。一股强烈的热浪扑面而来,还夹杂着一种他们从来没闻到过的气味。这气味又浓又辣,又刺激,使人要打喷嚏。缺口深处很亮,开头他们的眼睛都发花了,什么也看不见。等他们习惯了这么亮的光,才觉得自己能分辨出一条火河,河的两岸似乎是田野和一种发出难以忍受、热辣辣的光的小树林——可是比起那条河来就黯然失色了。那儿五颜六色,蓝的、红的、绿的和白的全都混在一起;一面优美的彩色玻璃窗在正午时分热带阳光直射下,效果可能跟这儿差不多。在那火红的光照下,成千的地下人看上去就像黑压压一片苍蝇正顺着凹凸不平的裂缝边往下爬去。

高中优秀英语美文摘抄

高中优秀英语美文摘抄 试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看,这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力,而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。 一旦变换看问题的角度,你的生活会豁然开朗,幸福快乐会接踵而来。 别交出掌握命运的主动权,也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。 你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。 建立自信,敢于与困难短兵相接,而非绕道而行。 记住,力量不是驾驭局势的法宝,无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。 请坚信,美好的降临并非不可能,失误也许是成功的前奏。 将惶恐化作信任,学会超越担忧和疑虑。 让“诚惶诚恐的时光变得“富有成效。 不要挥霍浪费精力,将它投到有意义的事情中去。 当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时,美好就会出现。 当你积极地看待生活,并以此作为你的日常准则时,你就会找到快乐的真谛。 该研究的主要作者、美国印第安纳州诺特丹大学的心理学家杰西卡?佩恩认为,在学完新东西后打个盹就像把要记住的东西“告诉睡眠中的大脑。 她和同事一起对207名学生进行了研究,这些学生习惯每晚至少睡六个小时。

参与者被随机分配到几个学习小组,学习内容是陈述性知识,包括语义相连或不相连的词组。 学习时间在早上9点或晚上9点。 学完后他们在30分钟、12小时或24小时后回来做测试。 陈述性记忆指的是有意识地记忆事实和事件的能力,可以分为情节记忆(对事件的记忆)和语义记忆(对事实类知识的记忆)。 人们每天都会例行运用这两种记忆——回想今天我们把车停在了哪里或了解一个同事喜欢别人怎么称呼他。 在12小时后再次进行测试时,总体来看睡了一夜的人相比还没睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 在24小时后再度测试时,所有的实验对象都睡了一整夜,也在清醒中度过了一个白天。 这次,那些在学习后不久就入睡的人比那些学习后过了一整个白天才睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 佩恩说:“我们的研究证实,在学习新东西后马上睡觉对记忆有帮助。 这项研究的创新之处在于,我们试图通过对语义相连和不相连的词组的记忆研究来揭示睡眠对于两种陈述性记忆的影响。 “我们发现在学习之后很快就睡觉对两种记忆都有帮助,这意味着在上床睡觉前温习你要记忆的东西将很有好处。 在某种意义上,你可能在‘告诉’睡眠中的大脑需要巩固强化的记忆。

高中生英语必背美文(中英文对照)

As a teenager,I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious out-side,but I wanted to be liked inside. Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn?t easy,and there were many times I didn?t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home,I was different,not so outwardly sure of myself. I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope,who was staying with us,was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren?t there. I told my mom,and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl,no one could replace me. I pointed out,“She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.”My mom said these were wonderful qualities,but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldn?t be replaced. I became a searcher,wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn?t like any more,and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place. Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special,no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be. 当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候,觉得自己总是让人失望。从外表上看,我似乎很叛逆,但是在内心深处,我是如此地渴望被人疼爱。 有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚。这次旅行并不轻松,而且有很多次我感觉不安。有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着。回到家,我发觉自己变了,看上去不那么自信了。 我很高兴能回到家,但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服,而且我父母看上去更喜欢她,我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我。后来,我把我的想法告诉了母亲,她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩,但她始终不能取代我,我说:“她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方。”母亲说这些都是非常好的优点,但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人。母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点———似乎还很多———但是,我被家中每一个人爱着,谁也无法取代。 我成了一个探寻者,想要知道自己到底是谁,又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展,我忍受住压力,不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。 每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么,你自己怎么想,你都是特别的。所以,不要担心自己会被取代,因为你永远是惟一的。 太多的时候,我们总认为光明就在脚下,就在不远的前方,于是忘了去仰望头顶的那片天…… If you put a buzzard1) in a pen2) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt3) to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble4) creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle5) about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation6) from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. A bumblebee7) if dropped into an open tumbler8) will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists9) in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations10), not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

高中英语美文

Time Is Money “Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable. But time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained. Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air. Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men. Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously(无意地). Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night. can live only at most to about 100 years. It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short. We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a sh ort period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work. We will race with it. We will study and work hard. Never waste a little bit of it. Try to Be a Good Student Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it. In my opinion, it is rather easy if you can act on the following points. First of all, make full use of your time and work hard. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back. The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study. Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day. Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view. Credulous(轻信的)attitude will only make you take anything for granted. With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory. Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc. don’t ignore the harm of all work and no play. Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying. To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student’s consistent efforts. But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it. Natural Resources Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature. The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc. all come originally from Nature. People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years. With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of materials taken has increased. It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.
