高級(jí)英語(yǔ)第二冊(cè)1-4課課后答案

第一課

位于高爾夫港以西的帕斯克里斯琴鎮(zhèn)幾乎被夷為平地。住在該鎮(zhèn)那座豪華的黎賽留公寓度

假的幾位旅客組織了一次聚會(huì)，從他們所居的有利地位觀賞颶風(fēng)的壯觀景象，結(jié)果像是有一個(gè)

其大無(wú)比的拳頭把公寓打得粉碎，26人因此喪生。

柯夏克家的屋頂一被掀走，約翰就高喊道："快上樓——到臥室里去!數(shù)數(shù)孩子?！痹趦A盆大雨

中，大人們圍成一圈，讓孩子們緊緊地?cái)D在中間?？孪目死夏棠贪暻星械卣f(shuō)道："孩子們，

咱們大家來(lái)唱支歌吧!"孩不門(mén)都嚇呆了，根本沒(méi)一點(diǎn)反應(yīng)。老奶奶獨(dú)個(gè)兒唱了幾句，然后她的

聲音就完全消失了。

客廳的壁爐和煙囪崩塌了下來(lái)。弄得瓦礫橫飛。眼看他們棲身的那間臥室電有兩面墻壁行

將崩塌，約翰立即命令大伙："進(jìn)電視室去!”這是離開(kāi)風(fēng)頭最遠(yuǎn)的一個(gè)房間。

約翰用手將妻子摟了一下。詹妮絲心里明白了他的意思。由于風(fēng)雨和恐懼，她不住地發(fā)抖。

她一面拉過(guò)兩個(gè)孩子緊貼在自己身邊，一面默禱著：親愛(ài)的上帝啊，賜給我力量，讓我經(jīng)受住

必須經(jīng)受的一切吧。她^里怨恨這場(chǎng)颶風(fēng)。我們一定不會(huì)讓它得勝。

柯夏克老爹心中窩著一團(tuán)火，深為自己在颶風(fēng)面前無(wú)能為力而感到懊喪。也說(shuō)不清為什么,

他跑到一問(wèn)臥室里去將一只杉木箱和一個(gè)雙人床墊拖進(jìn)了電視室。就在這里，一面墻壁被風(fēng)刮

倒了，提燈也被吹滅。另外又有一面墻壁在移動(dòng)，在搖晃。查理.希爾試圖以身子撐住它，但結(jié)

果墻還是朝他這邊塌了下來(lái)，把他的背部也給砸傷了。房子在顫動(dòng)搖晃，已從地基上挪開(kāi)了25

英尺。整個(gè)世界似乎都要分崩離析了。

"我們來(lái)把床墊豎起來(lái)!"約翰對(duì)父親大聲叫道。"把它斜靠著擋擋風(fēng)。讓孩子們躲到墊子

下面去，我們可以用頭和肩膀把墊子大一點(diǎn)的孩子趴在地板上，小一點(diǎn)的一層層地壓在大的身

上，大人們都彎下身子罩住他們。地板傾斜了。裝著那一窩四只小貓的盒子從架上滑下來(lái)，一

下子就在風(fēng)中消失了。斯普琪被從一個(gè)嵌板書(shū)柜頂上刮走而不見(jiàn)蹤影了。那只狗緊閉著雙眼，

縮成一團(tuán)。又一面墻壁倒塌了。水拍打著傾斜的地板。約翰抓住一扇還連在壁柜墻上的門(mén)，對(duì)

他父親大聲叫道："假若地板塌了，咱們就把孩子放到這塊門(mén)板上面。"

就在這一剎那間，風(fēng)勢(shì)稍緩了一些，水也不再上漲了。隨后水開(kāi)始退落?？谞柼?hào)颶風(fēng)的

中心過(guò)去了?？孪目艘患液退麄兊呐笥讯夹掖嫦聛?lái)了。

第二課

然而這些人的真正奇特之處還在于他們的隱身的特性。一連幾個(gè)星期，每天幾乎在同一時(shí)

候總有一隊(duì)老嫗扛著柴草從我房前蹣跚走過(guò)。雖然他們的身影以映入我的眼簾，但老實(shí)說(shuō)，我

并不曾看見(jiàn)她們。我所看見(jiàn)的是一捆捆的柴草從屋外掠過(guò)。直到有一天我碰巧走在她們身后時(shí),

堆柴草奇異的起伏動(dòng)作才使我注意到原來(lái)下面有人。這才第一次看見(jiàn)那些與泥土同色的可憐老

嫗的軀體——枯瘦的只剩下皮包骨頭、被沉重的負(fù)荷壓得彎腰駝背的軀體。然而，我踏上摩洛

哥國(guó)土還不到五分鐘就已注意到驢子的負(fù)荷過(guò)重，并為此感到憤怒。驢子遭到荷虐，這是無(wú)疑

的事實(shí)。摩洛哥的驢子不過(guò)如一只瑞士雪山救人犬一般大小，可它馱負(fù)的貨物重量在英國(guó)軍隊(duì)

里讓一頭五英尺高的大騾子來(lái)馱都嫌過(guò)重。而且，它還常常是一連幾個(gè)星期不卸馱鞍。尤其讓

人覺(jué)得可悲的是，它是世上最馴服聽(tīng)話的牲畜。不需要鞍轡會(huì)僵繩。它便會(huì)像狗一樣更隨著自

己的主人。為主人拼命干上十幾年活后，它便猝然倒地死去，這時(shí)，主人就把它仍進(jìn)溝里，尸

體未寒，其五臟六腑便被村狗扒出來(lái)吃掉。

這種事情當(dāng)然令人發(fā)指，可是，一般說(shuō)來(lái)，人的苦難卻沒(méi)人理會(huì)。我并非在亂發(fā)議論，只

不過(guò)是指出一個(gè)事實(shí)而已。這種人簡(jiǎn)直就是一種無(wú)影無(wú)行之物。一頭背上被磨得皮破肉爛的驢

子人人見(jiàn)了都會(huì)同情，而那馱著大捆柴草的老婦人則往往要有某種偶然因素才會(huì)受到注意。

第三課

有人舉出了一個(gè)人所共知，但仍值得提出來(lái)發(fā)人深思的例子。我們談到飯桌上的肉食時(shí)用法

語(yǔ)詞，而談到提供這些肉食的牲畜時(shí)則用盎格魯一撤克遜詞。豬圈里的活豬叫pig,飯桌上吃

的豬肉便成了pork（來(lái)自法語(yǔ)pore）;地里放牧著的牛叫cattle,席上吃的牛肉則叫beef（來(lái)自

法語(yǔ)boeuf）;Chicken用作肉食時(shí)變成poultry（來(lái)自法語(yǔ)poulet）;calf加工成肉則變成

veal（來(lái)自法語(yǔ)vcau）。即便我們的菜單沒(méi)有為了裝洋耍派頭而寫(xiě)成法語(yǔ)，我們所用的英語(yǔ)仍然

是諾曼底式的英語(yǔ)。這一切向我們昭示了諾曼底人征服之后英國(guó)文化上所存在的深刻的階級(jí)裂

痕。

撒克遜農(nóng)民種地養(yǎng)畜，自己出產(chǎn)的肉自己卻吃不起，全都送上了諾曼底人的餐桌。農(nóng)民們

只能吃到在地里亂竄的兔子。兔子肉因?yàn)楸阋耍Z曼底貴族自然不屑去吃它。因此，活兔子和

吃的兔子肉共用rabbit這個(gè)詞表示，而沒(méi)有換成由法語(yǔ)lapin轉(zhuǎn)化而來(lái)的某個(gè)詞。

當(dāng)我們今天聽(tīng)著有關(guān)雙語(yǔ)教育問(wèn)題的爭(zhēng)論時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該設(shè)身處地替當(dāng)時(shí)的撒克遜農(nóng)民想一

想，新的統(tǒng)治階級(jí)把法語(yǔ)用來(lái)對(duì)抗撤克遜農(nóng)民自己的語(yǔ)言，從而在農(nóng)民周圍筑起一道文化障礙.

當(dāng)英國(guó)人在像覺(jué)醒者赫里沃德這樣的撒克遜領(lǐng)袖領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下起來(lái)造反時(shí)，他們一定深深地感受到了

文化上的屈辱。"標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)"——如果那時(shí)候有這個(gè)名詞的話—已經(jīng)變成法語(yǔ)。而九百年后

我們?cè)诿绹?guó)這兒仍然繼承了這種影響。

第四課

我們能否建立一個(gè)把東西南1蹶在一起的偉大的全球聯(lián)盟來(lái)對(duì)付這些敵人，以確保人類享

有更為富有成效的生活呢?你是否愿意參加這一具有歷史意義的行動(dòng)呢？

在世界漫長(zhǎng)的歷史上，只有少數(shù)幾代人能在自由面臨極大危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)刻被賦予保衛(wèi)自由的任

務(wù)。在這一重任面前，我不退縮，我歡迎這一重任。我認(rèn)為我們中間不會(huì)有人愿意與別人或另

一代人調(diào)換位置。我們從事這一事業(yè)的那種精力、信念和獻(xiàn)身精神將照耀我們的國(guó)家和一切為

此出力的人們。這一火焰所發(fā)出的光芒將真正照亮這個(gè)世界。

因此，美國(guó)同胞們，你們應(yīng)該問(wèn)的不是你們的國(guó)家能為你們做些什么，而是你們自己能為

你們的國(guó)家做些什么。

和我處在同樣地位的世界各國(guó)的公民們，你們應(yīng)該問(wèn)的不是美國(guó)會(huì)為你們做些什么，而是

我們一起能為人類自由做些什么。
