2 - due. lying on the sofa, i finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. the topic on which my eye stopped was the art of eating spaghetti. 我作好準備，打算在弗利格爾先生的班上一無所獲地混上一年，不少日子過去了，還真不出所料。后半學期我 們學寫隨筆小品文。弗利格爾先生發(fā)下一張家庭作業(yè)紙，出了不少題目供我們選擇。像暑假二三事那樣傻乎乎的 題目倒是一個也沒有，但絕大多數(shù)一樣乏味。我把作文題帶回家，一直沒寫，直到要交作業(yè)的前一天晚上。我躺在 沙發(fā)上，最終不得不面對這一討厭的功課，便從筆記本里抽出作文題目單粗粗一看。我的目光落在吃意大利細面條 的藝術這個題目上。 4 this title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. vivid memories came flooding back of a night in belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table uncle allen, my mother, uncle charlie, doris, uncle hal and aunt pat served spaghetti for supper. spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. neither doris nor i had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. all the good humor of uncle allens house reawoke in my mind as i recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth. 這個題目在我腦海里喚起了一連串不同尋常的圖像。貝爾維爾之夜的清晰的回憶如潮水一般涌來，當時，我們 大家一起圍坐在晚餐桌旁 艾倫舅舅、我母親、查理舅舅、多麗絲、哈爾舅舅 帕特舅媽晚飯做的是意大 利細面條。那時意大利細面條還是很少聽說的異國食品。多麗絲和我都還從來沒吃過，在座的大人也是經驗不足， 沒有一個吃起來得心應手的。艾倫舅舅家詼諧有趣的場景全都重現(xiàn)在我的腦海中，我回想起來，當晚我們笑作一團， 爭論著該如何地把面條從盤子上送到嘴里才算合乎禮儀。 5 suddenly i wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but i wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for mr. fleagle. it was a moment i wanted to recapture and hold for myself. i wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. to write it as i wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition id learned in school, and mr. fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. never mind. i would write something else for mr. fleagle after i had written this thing for myself. 突然我就想描述那一切，描述當時那種溫馨美好的氣氛，但我把它寫下來僅僅是想自得其樂，而不是為弗利格 爾先生而寫。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一個時刻。我想重溫那個夜晚的愉快。然而，照我希望的那樣去寫， 就會違反我在學校里學的正式作文的種種法則，弗利格爾先生也肯定會打它一個不及格。沒關系。等我為自己寫好 了之后，我可以再為弗利格爾先生寫點什么別的東西。 6 when i finished it the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper, respectable essay for mr. fleagle. there was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the belleville supper. two days passed before mr. fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyones but mine. i was preparing myself for a command to report to mr. fleagle immediately after school for discipline when i saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the classs attention. 等我寫完時已是半夜時分，再沒時間為弗利格爾先生寫一篇循規(guī)蹈矩、像模像樣的文章了。第二天上午，我別 無選擇，只好把我為自己而寫的貝爾維爾晚餐的故事交了上去。兩天后弗利格爾先生發(fā)還批改過的作文，他把別人 的都發(fā)了，就是沒有我的。我正準備著遵命一放學就去弗利格爾先生那兒挨訓，卻看見他從桌上拿起我的作文，敲 了敲桌子讓大家注意聽。 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 3 - 7 now, boys, he said. i want to read you an essay. this is titled, the art of eating spaghetti. 好了，孩子們，他說。我要給你們念一篇小品文。文章的題目是：吃意大利細面條的藝術。 8 and he started to read. my words! he was reading my words out loud to the entire class. whats more, the entire class was listening. listening attentively. then somebody laughed, then the entire class was laughing, and not in contempt and ridicule, but with open- hearted enjoyment. even mr. fleagle stopped two or three times to hold back a small prim smile. 于是他開始念了。是我寫的！他給全班大聲念我寫的文章。更不可思議的是，全班同學都在聽著他念，而且聽 得很專心。有人笑出聲來，接著全班都笑了，不是輕蔑嘲弄，而是樂乎乎地開懷大笑。就連弗利格爾先生也停頓了 兩三次，好抑制他那一絲拘謹?shù)奈⑿Α?9 i did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what i was feeling was pure delight at this demonstration that my words had the power to make people laugh. in the eleventh grade, at the eleventh hour as it were, i had discovered a calling. it was the happiest moment of my entire school career. when mr. fleagle finished he put the final seal on my happiness by saying, now that, boys, is an essay, dont you see. its dont you see its of the very essence of the essay, dont you see. congratulations, mr. baker. 我盡力不流露出得意的心情，但是看到我寫的文章竟然能使別人大笑，我真是心花怒放。就在十一年級，可謂 是最后的時刻，我找到了一個今生想做的事。這是我整個求學生涯中最幸福的一刻。弗利格爾先生念完后說道：瞧， 孩子們，這就是小品文，懂了沒有。這才是 知道嗎 這才是小品文的精髓，知道了沒有。祝賀你，貝克 先生。他這番話使我沉浸在十全十美的幸福之中。 part text b summer reading as a summer job the author used to cut mr. ballous lawn. the only problem was that mr. ballou never seemed to have any money to pay for it. but what he did have to give was something that turned out to be far more valuable. 夏天打工時，作者常常替巴盧先生修剪草坪。惟一的問題是，巴盧先生似乎從來沒錢支付工錢。然而，他實際 上所給予的卻遠比工錢珍貴。 summer reading michael dorris 1 when i was fourteen, i earned money in the summer by cutting lawns, and within a few weeks i had built up a body of customers. i got to know people by the flowers they planted that i had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. i reached the point with most of them when i knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. (1) and i learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month or not at all. 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 4 - 夏日閱讀 邁克爾多里斯 十四歲那年，我在暑假里替人修剪草坪掙些錢，不出幾個星期，我就有了不少客戶?？蛻魝兎N植的花卉我得記 住不能剪去，他們會將東西遺落在草地上或故意插在地里，通過這些我逐漸認識了他們。我對大多數(shù)客戶了解至深， 事先就能知道他們會抱怨些什么，哪些特別的要求不能掉以輕心。(1)而且，我從鄰居偏愛的付款方式中了解到了一 點他們的情況：有的按干的活兒給錢，有的按月支付 或者有的壓根兒不付錢。 2 mr. ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. on one day he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when i knocked on his door. still, except for the money part, he was a nice enough old guy, always waving or tipping his hat when hed see me from a distance. i figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work- related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. sure, i kept track of the total, but i didnt worry about the amount too much. (2) grass was grass, and the little that mr. ballous property comprised didnt take long to trim. 巴盧先生屬于最后一類，而且他總有理由。有一天他兌不開一張五十元的鈔票，又有一天他支票用完了，還有 一天我上門時他干脆就溜出去了。撇開錢這檔子事，他倒也還是個挺不錯的老頭，每次看見我，老遠就揮手或脫帽 致意。我猜他退休金不多，可能出過工傷，整不了自己的園子。沒錯，我全都記著賬，可我對這點錢并沒太在意。 (2)也就是剪剪草，何況巴盧先生住宅外面的那一點草坪修剪起來花不了多少時間。 3 then, one late afternoon in mid- july, the hottest time of the year, i was walking by his house and he opened the door, motioned me to come inside. the hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light. 到了一年中最熱的七月中旬，一天傍晚前，我走過他家，他開了門，示意我進去。門廳里涼涼的，簾子遮去了 陽光，過了一會兒我的眼睛才適應室內的暗淡光線。 4 i owe you, mr. ballou began, but 我欠你工錢，巴盧先生開口道，不過 5 i thought id save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse. no problem. dont worry about it. 我想省得他費神找新的借口了， 就說: 沒事。別放在心上。 6 the bank made a mistake in my account, he continued, ignoring my words. it will be cleared up in a day or two. but in the meantime i thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment. 銀行把我的賬弄錯了，他沒理我的碴兒，接著說，一兩天里就會改過來。在這當兒，我想你不妨挑一兩本書 作為我的首付款。 7 he gestured toward the walls and i saw that books were stacked everywhere. it was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement. 他朝墻那邊指了指，我這才發(fā)現(xiàn)到處都堆著書。就跟圖書館一樣，只不過沒有分門別類罷了。 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 5 - 8 take your time, mr. ballou encouraged. read, borrow, keep. find something you like. what do you read? 別著急，巴盧先生鼓動說，讀也好，借也好，留著也行。找你喜歡的。你平常都愛讀什么書??？ 9 i dont know. and i didnt. i generally read what was in front of me, what i could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what i found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. the idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, i realized, not without appeal so i started to look through the piles of books. 我不知道。我的確不知道。我通常是弄到什么就讀什么，從藥房里買到的平裝書，圖書館里借得到的書、雜 志，到麥片包裝盒背面的說明，還有連環(huán)漫畫，什么都看。有意識地找出一本特別的書來讀對我是件新鮮事，不過 我覺得這主意挺不錯 于是我開始在書堆中翻找起來。 10 you actually read all of these? 這么多書你都讀過??？ 11 this isnt much, mr. ballou said. this is nothing, just what ive kept, the ones worth looking at a second time. 這不算多，巴盧先生說，這根本不算多，只不過是我自己的藏書，都是值得再讀一遍的。 12 pick for me, then. 那就替我找一本吧。 13 he raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. after a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick. 他眉一抬，頭一側，望著我，就像是在給我量體裁衣似的。過了片刻，他略一點頭，便在一堆書中搜尋，然后 遞給我一本暗紅色封面的精裝本，挺厚的。 14 the last of the just, i read. by andre schwarz- bart. whats it about? 最后的正義，我念道，安德烈施瓦茲巴特著。是講什么的？ 15 you tell me, he said. next week. 你來告訴我，他說，下個星期。 16 i started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. (3) within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and i was plunged into the aching tragedy of the holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. translated from french, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. when the evening light finally failed i moved inside, read all through the night. 晚飯后我坐在室外一張不舒服的餐椅里打開了書。(3)讀了幾頁，院子就消失了，夏夜也消失了；我一下子就進 入了二戰(zhàn)期間納粹對猶太人的大屠殺這一令人悲痛的慘劇中，進入了以一個正派人物為代表的善與惡之間非同尋常 的沖突中。書譯自法文，譯文優(yōu)美樸素，令人不忍釋手。天色終于暗了下來，我回到室內，讀了一個通宵。 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 6 - 17 to this day, thirty years later, i vividly remember the experience. it was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and i was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain. i lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week, when mr. ballou asked, well? i only replied, it was good. 時至三十年后的今天，我仍清晰地記得當時的經歷。那是我初次有心地接觸世界文學，我被一部小說所能包含 的集聚的力量深深震撼。但我缺乏足夠的詞匯表達我的情感，因此，第二個星期，當巴盧先生問我怎么樣時，我 只回答說：書真好。 18 keep it, then, he said. shall i suggest another? 那就留著吧，他說，要不要我再介紹一本？ 19 i nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of margaret meads coming of age in samoa. 我點點頭，拿到了一本平裝本的瑪格麗特米德的薩摩亞人的成年。 20 to make two long stories short, mr. ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years i taught anthropology at dartmouth college. (4) summer reading was not the innocent entertainment i had assumed it to be, not a light- hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (though i have since enjoyed many of those, too). a book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an interval in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows. 長話短說，無論當年還是次年，巴盧先生分文未付我替他割草的工錢，但我在達特默思大學教了十五年的人類 學。(4) 盛夏閱讀不是我原先認為的僅僅借以消磨時光的娛樂，不是躺在吊床上無憂無慮、打開書本就什么都忘掉 的一種消遣（雖然自從那個夏天以來我曾多次以這種方式自娛自樂）。一本書，如果在恰當?shù)臅r候，恰當?shù)募竟?jié)， 在日常事務的間歇中出現(xiàn)在你的面前，就會改變你此后的人生道路。 unit 2 friendship part text a a all the cabbie had was a letter how do you feel when old friends are far away? do you make an effort to keep in touch? sometimes it is easy to put off writing a letter, thinking that there will be plenty of time tomorrow. but then sometimes, as this story shows, we leave it too late. perhaps reading it will make you want to reach for your pen. 老朋友天各一方，你心有何感？你是否努力保持聯(lián)系？有時候寫信的事很容易會一拖再拖，總以為明天有的是 時間。然而，正如這則故事所表明的，有時我們拖得太晚了。也許讀一讀這個故事會讓你提起筆來。 all the cabbie had was a letter foster furcolo 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 7 - 1 he must have been completely lost in something he was reading because i had to tap on the windshield to get his attention. 出租車司機擁有的就剩一封信 福斯特弗克洛 他準是完全沉浸在所讀的東西里了，因為我不得不敲擋風玻璃來引起他的注意。 2 is your cab available? i asked when he finally looked up at me. he nodded, then said apologetically as i settled into the back seat, im sorry, but i was reading a letter. he sounded as if he had a cold or something. 他總算抬頭看我了。 “你出車嗎？”我問道。 他點點頭， 當我坐進后座時， 他抱歉地說： “對不起， 我在讀一封信。 ” 聽上去他像是得 3 im in no hurry, i told him. go ahead and finish your letter. “我不著急，”我對他說，“你接著把信讀完吧?！?4 he shook his head. ive read it several times already. i guess i almost know it by heart. 他搖了搖頭?！拔乙呀涀x了好幾遍了。我想我都能背出來了?！?5 letters from home always mean a lot, i said. at least they do with me because im on the road so much. then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, i guessed: from a child or maybe a grandchild?

“我看大家寫信都不那么勤快，”我說，“我自己筆頭就很懶。我看，你認識他挺久了吧？” 8 all my life, practically. we were kids together, so we go way back. “差不多認識了一輩子了。我倆小時候就一起玩，所以我倆的友誼確實很長了。” 9 went to school together? “一起上的學？” 10 all the way through high school. we were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school. 全新版大學英語綜合教程 1 課文對照翻譯 by12020212 - 8 - “都一起上到高中呢。事實上，我倆從小學到高中都在一個班里?！?11 there are not too many people whove had such a long friendship, i said. “保持這么長久友誼的人可真不多見啊，”我說。 12 actually, the driver went on, i hadnt seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because i moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget. he was a great guy. “其實呢，”司機接著說，“近 25 到 30 年來，我跟他一年只見一兩次面，因為我從原來住的老街坊搬了出來， 聯(lián)系自然就少了，雖說你一直放在心上。他在的時候可真是個大好人。” 13 you said was. does that mean ?
