e.Thereisalwaysresistanceinthelowerclassestoanyattemptbyanupperclasstolaydownrulesfor“Englishasitshouldbespoken.”下層社會(huì)總會(huì)抵制上層社會(huì)企圖給“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)”制定得規(guī)則。f.Wordsarenotthemselvesareality,butonlyrepresentationsofit,andtheKing’sEnglish,liketheAnglo-FrenchoftheNormans,isaclassrepresentationofreality.詞語(yǔ)本身并不是現(xiàn)實(shí)。正如諾曼底人講的英格魯--法語(yǔ)一樣，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)是一個(gè)階層用來(lái)表達(dá)現(xiàn)實(shí)的形式。g.Perhapsitisworthtryingtospeakit,butitshouldnotbelaiddownasanedict,andmadeimmunetochangefrombelow.或許試著去說(shuō)它還是值得的，但是它不能被制定成法令，從而拒絕來(lái)自下層的變化。h.Thereisnoworseconversationalistthantheonewhopunctuateshiswordsashespeaksasifhewerewriting,orevenwhotriestousewordsasifhewerecomposingapieceofproseforprint.如果一個(gè)人說(shuō)出的話就像寫出來(lái)的文字，或者試圖使用那些創(chuàng)作書面散文的文字，那么沒有比這樣的交談?wù)吒愀獾牧?。i.When.Forsterwritesof“thesinistercorridorofourage,”wesitupatthevividnessofthephrase,theforceandeventerrorintheimage.當(dāng).福斯特寫到“我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的險(xiǎn)惡長(zhǎng)廊”時(shí)，其用語(yǔ)之生動(dòng)及由其所產(chǎn)生的生動(dòng)有力，甚至可怖的形象苦令我們拍案叫絕。j.Therewouldhavebeennoconversationtheothereveningifwehadbeenabletosettleatoncethemeetingof“theKing’sEnglish.”那天晚上如果我們立刻解決了“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)”的含義，就不會(huì)有第二天晚上的談話了。LessonTwo1.Theburying-groundismerelyahugewasteofhummockyearth,likeaderelictbuilding-lot.Theburing-groundisnothingmorethanahugepieceofwastelandfullofmoundsofearthlookinglikeadesertedandabandonedpieceoflandonwhichabuildingwasgoingtobeputup.2.Allcolonialempiresareinrealityfoundeduponthatfact.Alltheimperialistsbuilduptheirempiresbytreatingthepeopleinthecolonieslikeanimals(bynottreatingthepeopleinthecoloniesashumanbeings).3.Theyriseoutoftheearth,theysweatandstarveforafewyears,andthentheysinkbackintothenamelessmoundsofthegraveyard.Theyareborn.Thenforafewyearstheywork,toilandstarve.Finallytheydieandareburiedingraveswithoutaname.4.Acarpentersitscross-leggedataprehistoriclathe,turningchair-legsatlightningspeed.Sittingwithhislegscrossedandusingaveryold-fashionedlathe,acarpenterquicklygivesaroundshapetothechair-legsheismaking.5.Instantly,fromthedarkholesallround,therewasafrenziedrushofJews.Immediatelyfromtheirdarkhole-likecellseverywhereagreatnumberofJewsrushedoutwildlyexcited.6.everyoneofthemlooksonacigaretteasamoreorlessimpossibleluxury
