65 The two sides found it beneficial to have this opportunity to present to one another their views
on a variety of issues.
现在有机会互相介绍彼此对各种问题的观点，对此，双方认为是有利的。
66中华文化以人本为主，西方文化以物本为主体。人本文化以人文为中心，以人生为本位。道家
的代表人物老子曾说：“人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然”。而儒家先哲对世界的认识主要不
...
是出于对自然奥秘的好奇，而是出于对现实社会政治和伦理道德的关注。孔子哲学以“仁”“礼”为
中心，“仁”寻求人伦关系规范化，“礼”要求社会有序化。先哲们谈论人生哲学的目的是“究天人之
际，通古今之变”，关心的是人道，而非天道，是人生之理，而非自然之性。这种人本文化的长期
积淀便形成了汉民族本体型的思维方式。
67而物本文化以物本为主体，以自然为本位。西方人偏重于对自然客体的观察与研究，例如，亚
里士多德认为“求知是人类的本性”，培根推崇“知识就是力量”。西方人以认知自然为视觉焦点，
崇尚自然、认识自然、探索自然，最终征服自然。主宰宇宙。这种物本文化的长期积淀则形成了
西方人客体型的思维模式。
68 两种思维方式在语言上表现为：英语多用无生命的名词作主语，主动和被动两个范畴始终泾渭
分明；而汉语常以有生命的名词作主语(或潜在的主语)，充分地反映了汉民族重主体意识的思维
方式。
69 American education owes a great debt to Thomas Jefferson.
托马斯·杰佛逊对美国的教育事业作出了巨大的贡献。

71 让世界了解中国，让中国走向世界。
Let the other people of the rest of the world know China. Let China make close contact with the
rest of the world.
72 中国人的思维趋向于具象化，而西方人的思维则趋向于抽象化。这种不同的侧重与选择，植根
于各自的民族文化土壤之中。中国传统文化的重要特征之一是“尚象”，而西方文化的重要特征之
一是“尚思”。中国人“尚象”的文化传统形成了其偏重具象的思维方式。
73 The absence of intelligence is an indication of satisfactory developments. (= No news is good
news. 没有消息就是好消息。
74 No one is satisfied with his favoritism in his work.
对他在工作中表现出来的徇私作风谁都感到不满意。
75Any discourtesy shown to Chinese persons by any official of the Government will be cause for

1. A son, a job and housekeeping forced romance out.
2. But there had been too much publicity about my case.

admit in their speeches.
4. With the credit card it is unnecessary to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in
emergencies.
1. 有了儿子，又要工作，又要做家务，就不能卿卿我我了。
2. 但我的事现在已经搞得满城风雨、人人皆知了。
3. 和有些政客们在演讲中愿意公开承认的事实相比，人类生存状态和社会不公正现象目前已经非
...
常复杂，这种复杂性要求社会结构进行根本性改革。
4. 有了这种信用卡，就无需随身携带大量现金，而且在急需用钱时非常有用。
76从意义的表达来看，中国人的传统思维方式总是习惯于整体把握对象，因而汉语在于以上具有
较高的整体概括性；而英语思维注重细节分析，在对自然社会的思考中往往把整体加以局部性、
具体性分解。但是从英汉语言的语法系统，即外在形态来看，英语的句子往往是以形来统句，一
个句子往往是一个支点，其他的部分围绕着这一支点展开，逻辑关系明确，语法条理清晰，构成
一个形态的整体；而汉语则是以意辖界，意尽为界，因此有时为了说明一个事情需要许多独立的
句子，这些句子围绕一个意义的支点而阐发，形成一个意义整体。
77王力先生曾经说过：“英国人写文章往往化零为整，而中国人则化整为零。”这是从语言的形态
而言，不是从语言的意义来说的。汉译时要特别注意整体意义的把握以及英语形态的拆零。
78 The idea of a fish being able to generate electricity strong enough to light small bulbs, even to
run electric motors, is almost unbelievable.
鱼能发电，其电量足以点亮小灯泡，甚至能开动马达，这种想法简直是令人难以相信的。
79The isolation of the rural world because of distance and the lack of transport facilities is
compounded by the paucity of the information media.
因为距离远，交通工具缺乏，使农村社会与外界隔绝。这种隔绝，由于通讯工具的不足，而
变得更加严重。
1. They, not surprisingly, did not respond at all.
2. Incidentally, I hope to get better medical treatment in these countries than I can possibly get
here in the United States.
3. The Chinese seemed justifiably proud of their economic achievements.
4. She sat with her hands cupping her chin, staring at a corner of the kitchen.
1. 他们根本没有答复，这是不足为奇的。
2. 顺便提一下，与我在美国所能得到的治疗相比，我希望能在这些国家得到更好的治疗。
3. 中国人似乎为他们在经济上取得的成绩而自豪，这是合乎情理的。
4. 她坐在那儿双手托着下巴，眼睛凝视着小厨房的一角。
80从本体论角度来讲，中国人受“易经”哲学的影响，注重整体统一，强调从多归一的思想；而西
方人更多地侧重于分析原则，注重逻辑推理，强调由一到多的思想。不同的传统文化的影响，形
成了“东方重综合,西方重分析”(季羡林语)的思维习惯。
81中国传统哲学重视人与自然的和谐，视“天人合一”为最高境界，天中有人，人中有天，“天人
之际，合二为一”。庄子认为“天地与我并生，万物与我为一”，这种物我不分、物我两忘的诗意境
界，是天人同体同德、万物有情的宇宙观。
82 There are several reasons why Kissinger no longer appears to be the magician the world press
had made him out to be, an illusion which he failed to discourage because, as he would admit
himself, he has a tendency toward megalomania.
全世界报界曾经把基辛格渲染成魔术师般的人物，他也没有阻止人们制造这种错误印象，因为正
如他自己愿意承认的，他有一种自大狂的倾向。现在他不再像是这样的人物了，这有几个原因。
1. He had a sound feeling that idiom was the backbone of a language and he was all for the racy
phrases.
2. Somebody lied, if he said my life is a happy little tale, or he told you I’m just an ordinary guy in
the world.
3. The theory is of great importance that the hotter the body is, the more energy it radiate.
1. 他感到习语是语言的主要支柱，因此特别主张用生动的短语，他的想法是非常正确的。
2. 如果有人说我的一生是一个喜剧，或者说我只是个普通人，他们都在撒谎。
3. 物体的温度越高，放射的能量越多，这一理论非常重要。

第三单元
1 What you have always wanted until now has been a set, steady, constant purpose. I therefore
exhort you to persevere in a thorough determination to do whatever you have to do as well as you
can do it. I was not so old as you are now when I first had to win my food, and do this out of this
determination, and I have never slackened in it since.
直到当前为止，你所缺乏的一直是确定的，持续不变的目标。因此我极力劝告你，以坚定的
决心去做你必须要做以及你能够做的事情，并坚持到底。我初次必须自食其力(自谋生计)时，年
岁还不及你大。我即借着此种决心，迄今从未松懈。

3 The British and the French imposed sanctions on Italy in 1935.

4 He took charge of his failing father and after a time obtained permission for his sister to live with
him. Her malady frequently returned, but always with due warning, when brother and sister would
be seen walking together to the asylum, both weeping bitterly.
此后，他即照顾风烛残年的父亲，且在一段时间之后，获准自精神病院中将他的姐姐接回与
他同住。她的疾病经常复发，所幸皆有征兆，此时人们见到他们姐弟二人相偕走向精神病院，双
双泣不成声。
5 Few expected to see so large a man: he is gigantic, a six feet four at least; few expected to see so
old a person; his hair appears to have kept silvery record over fifty years; and then there was a
notion in the minds of many that there must be something dashing and “fast” in his appearance,
whereas his costume was perfectly plain, the expression of his face grave and earnest, his address
perfectly unaffected and such as we might expect to meet with in a well-bred man somewhat
advanced in years.
很少人预料见到如此高大的一个人：他身材魁梧,身高至少也有六呎四吋。很少人预料见到年
纪如此大的一个人，他的头发看起来已花白了五十多年。此外，在很多人的心目中，他的外表必
定有些时髦和“放荡”的样子，但是，相反的是他衣着十分朴素，面部的表情严肃而诚挚，他的演
讲十分自然，他具有我们可能遇到的年高德劭者的特征。
6 Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large
fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the
place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to
take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of
next week.
嗨，亲爱的，你可要知道，朗太太说，租内瑟菲德庄园的是英格兰北边来的一个年轻人，有
大笔家当；说他星期一坐了一辆驷马轿车来看了房子，一看就十分中意，马上跟莫里斯先生租妥，
说要在米迦勒节以前就搬进去，而且他的几个佣人下个周末就要先住进去了。

11 I write this note today because your going away is much upon my mind, and because I want you
to have a few parting words from me to think of now and then at quiet times. I need not tell you
that I love you dearly, and am very, very sorry in my heart to part with you.
今天我写这封短笺，一方面是因为你的离去萦绕我心，另一方面是因为要给你只字片语，供
你在宁静的时刻里，时而思量。我毋须告诉你，我爱你有多深，与你分离，我心惆怅不已。
12 It is my comfort and my sincere conviction that you are going to try the life for which you are
best fitted. I think its freedom and wildness more suited to you than any experiment in a study or
office would ever have been; and without that training, you could have followed no other suitable
occupation.
你将体验的生活是最适合你的，这是我的安慰，也是我诚挚的信念。我认为那种自由与无拘
无束的生活较比书房或办公室的工作更适合你。缺少那种训练，你就不能从事其他适合你的职业。
13 A plain man of the people, and extraordinary fortune attended him. He offered no shining
qualities at the first encounter; he did not offend by superiority. He had a face and manner which
disarmed suspicion, which inspired confidence, which confirmed good will. He was a man without
vices. He had a strong sense of duty, which it was very easy for him to obey. Then, he had what
farmers call a long head; was excellent in working out the sum for himself; in arguing his case and
convincing you fairly and firmly.
他是一位平凡的人，但生逢其时（但有不平凡的际遇）。初次见面，人们看不出他有什么才华。
他不会以优越惹人不快（盛气凌人）。他的容貌与举止消除（人们对他的）猜疑，激发（人们对他
的）信心，而且肯定他的善意。他是一位行为端正的人。他具有强烈的责任感，（尽忠职守），对
他来说易如反掌。他有着农夫们所谓的“长头”（即深具远见），擅长于找出问题的症结，他辩才无
碍，使人们对他的论点坚信不疑。
14 Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in
privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and
disposition of business. For expert men can exe-cute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one;
but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are
learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is
affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其博彩也，最见于高
谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然
纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文
断事乃学究故态。
15 You couldn’t expect her to throw her arms round’ee, an’ to kiss and to coll’ee at once
你总不能指望她一下子就抱着你又亲又啃吧？

7. Many people think that he is one of the most ambitious politicians of our times.
8. Although he is very young, he is very ambitious in his research work.
...
16 The weather of summer is hot, while winter is cold and dreary. Both of these seasons are not for
us to study. In the time of autumn, cold winds which are not at all pleasant generally blow. But
spring has none of these drawbacks; the flowers bloom, the woods and grasses grow luxuriantly.
The weather is mild and the air is balmy. In fact, this season seems full of good things and better
fitted to be the time for doing something.
夏天的天气炎热，冬天的天气寒冷阴沉。这两个季节均不适合我们读书。在秋天的日子，通常
寒风飒飒，一点也不令人喜悦。但是春天毫无这些缺憾，(百)花儿盛开，草木茂盛，气候温和，
春风和煦。事实上，这一季节似乎充满美好的事物，且是更宜于工作的时间。
17 The Presidency is an eighteen-century invention up against the problems of the late twentieth;
it has never been as all-powerful as a generation of civics texts made it seem, and it has been
further reduced by the reaction—some say overreaction—to its Empire Period under Johnson and
Nixon.
总统的职务是在18世纪创立的，而现在面临的却是20世纪末的问题。这个职位从来没有像历代
的公民学教科书中所描绘的那样权威赫赫；而且，经过约翰逊和尼克松两个王朝所得到的反应——
有些人说那是过火的反应——使它已遭到进一步削弱。
18 She tries to calm her daughter with a faint smile and gentle caress of her hair.
她淡淡地微笑着，温柔地爱抚着女儿的头发，让她平静下来。

9. His suggestion is that we should set out before 8 o’clock.
19 The pictures that linger in his mind, called up in a moment by such sensations as the smell of
roses or of new-mown hay, are of a simpler nature. A little cottage nestling amidst the wayside trees,
the blue smoke curling up against the green, and a bower of roses round the door; or perhaps a
village street of which the name has been long forgotten, with its rambling old inn, and, a little
distance away, the hoary, grey church-tower in its township of tombstone—there are the pictures of
old England that are carried away to other climes.
小小的农舍偎依在路旁的树丛中，袅袅炊烟飘向绿色的屏障，荫凉的蔷薇丛环绕着门庭；远处
的小街可见一座设计不太规范的客店，灰色教堂的尖顶在不远处耸立于乡村墓地中——这才是古
老英国的真实图景，这才是英国留给游客的印象。
20 We have achieved much because we have built on each other’s successes. We have been open to
new partnerships, to new projects, to new ideas, and to new horizons. And above all, we have
joined together as a Pacific community, turning a great ocean into a bridge, not a barrier, between
nations.
我们取得了巨大成就，因为我们从各自的成功中相互受益。我们欢迎新的伙伴关系、新项目、
新思想和新环境。最重要的是，我们作为太平洋地区的成员共同努力，将浩瀚的海洋变成了连接
国与国之间的桥梁，而不是设置壁垒。
21 The list of candidates being talked about in Washington and on Wall Street is half what it was
before the Nov. 2 election, when prominent Democrats such as former Treasury Secretary Robert
Rubin were considered hot prospects had Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry won the White House.
与11月2日总统大选之前相比，美国政府内部和华尔街所关注的美联储主席候选人人数减少
了一半。当时假若民主党总统候选人约翰·克里成功入主白宫的话，同是民主党人的前财政部长罗
伯特·鲁宾是新一任美联储主席的热门人选。
...
22 Never take a mean advantage of any one in any transaction, and never be hard upon people who
are in your power. Try to do to others as you would have them do to you, and do not be
discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better for you that they should fail in obeying the
greatest rule laid down by our Savior than that you should.
在处理任何业务时，决不要占任何人便宜，也决不要苛刻对待你的部属。你要别人怎样对待你，
你就要怎样对待别人(己所不欲，勿施于人)。如果他们有时亏待你，你也不必气馁。宁可别人不
遵从我们救世主订下的最伟大的法规，你自己也不能违背
23 Mouth cancer was once considered to mostly affect older men, but it is now becoming more
common in younger people and women. It is possible that binge-drinking and smoking could be
helping to fuel rising rates of the disease as these are key risk factors.
过去一度认为那些年纪大一些的人更容易患口腔癌，但从目前情况来看，该病在年轻人中正呈现
出与日俱增的发展趋势。医生们经研究认为，年轻人过度饮酒和吸烟可能是导致口腔癌在该群体

鲁迅的杂文《二心集/风马牛》可以看作是对这首诗的注解。原来赵把上半身为人下半身为马的人
头马怪物译成“半人半牛怪”，既然译“马”为“牛”，那么“牛郎”岂不成了“马郎”；既然把“银河”译
成“牛奶路”，有了路还要鹊桥干什么？所以乌鹊也就不知道是不是还用来了。

5 (Have I put the matter too strongly?) Possibly I have; but when all the world has gone
a-slumming I wish to speak a word of sympathy for the man who succeeds, the man who, against
great odds, has directed the efforts of others, and having succeeded, finds there’s nothing in it:
nothing but bare board and clothes.
（我是不是有点言过其实？） 或许吧。然而在整个世界走下坡路的时候，有些人顶住了指挥
下属的种种麻烦和压力，结果他成功了，成功后却发现：不过是一场虚无，下属们为公司干活不
过只为衣食住行而已。让我们为这样的人士说句公道话吧！

8 Of course I know that one so morally deformed is no less to be pitied than a physical cripple;
but in our pitying let us drop a tear, too, for the men who are striving to carry on a great enterprise,

the struggle to hold in line dowdy indifference, slipshod imbecility, and the heartless ingratitude
which but for their enterprise, would be both hungry and homeless.
当然，我知道像他这样心理上不正常的人同身体上有残障的人一样值得我们同情。不过在我们
同情他们时，别忘了还有另外一些，他们苦心经营着大企业，别人下班了，他们仍在工作。心不

65 The two sides found it beneficial to have this opportunity to present to one another their views
on a variety of issues.
现在有机会互相介绍彼此对各种问题的观点，对此，双方认为是有利的。
66中华文化以人本为主，西方文化以物本为主体。人本文化以人文为中心，以人生为本位。道家
的代表人物老子曾说：“人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然”。而儒家先哲对世界的认识主要不
...
是出于对自然奥秘的好奇，而是出于对现实社会政治和伦理道德的关注。孔子哲学以“仁”“礼”为
中心，“仁”寻求人伦关系规范化，“礼”要求社会有序化。先哲们谈论人生哲学的目的是“究天人之
际，通古今之变”，关心的是人道，而非天道，是人生之理，而非自然之性。这种人本文化的长期
积淀便形成了汉民族本体型的思维方式。
67而物本文化以物本为主体，以自然为本位。西方人偏重于对自然客体的观察与研究，例如，亚
里士多德认为“求知是人类的本性”，培根推崇“知识就是力量”。西方人以认知自然为视觉焦点，
崇尚自然、认识自然、探索自然，最终征服自然。主宰宇宙。这种物本文化的长期积淀则形成了
西方人客体型的思维模式。
68 两种思维方式在语言上表现为：英语多用无生命的名词作主语，主动和被动两个范畴始终泾渭
分明；而汉语常以有生命的名词作主语(或潜在的主语)，充分地反映了汉民族重主体意识的思维
方式。
69 American education owes a great debt to Thomas Jefferson.

70 Memoranda were prepared in advance of private meetings on matters to be discussed.

71 让世界了解中国，让中国走向世界。
Let the other people of the rest of the world know China. Let China make close contact with the
rest of the world.
72 中国人的思维趋向于具象化，而西方人的思维则趋向于抽象化。这种不同的侧重与选择，植根
于各自的民族文化土壤之中。中国传统文化的重要特征之一是“尚象”，而西方文化的重要特征之
一是“尚思”。中国人“尚象”的文化传统形成了其偏重具象的思维方式。
73 The absence of intelligence is an indication of satisfactory developments. (= No news is good
news. 没有消息就是好消息。
74 No one is satisfied with his favoritism in his work.
对他在工作中表现出来的徇私作风谁都感到不满意。

1. A son, a job and housekeeping forced romance out.
2. But there had been too much publicity about my case.

4. With the credit card it is unnecessary to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in
emergencies.
1. 有了儿子，又要工作，又要做家务，就不能卿卿我我了。
2. 但我的事现在已经搞得满城风雨、人人皆知了。
3. 和有些政客们在演讲中愿意公开承认的事实相比，人类生存状态和社会不公正现象目前已经非

常复杂，这种复杂性要求社会结构进行根本性改革。
4. 有了这种信用卡，就无需随身携带大量现金，而且在急需用钱时非常有用。
76从意义的表达来看，中国人的传统思维方式总是习惯于整体把握对象，因而汉语在于以上具有
较高的整体概括性；而英语思维注重细节分析，在对自然社会的思考中往往把整体加以局部性、
具体性分解。但是从英汉语言的语法系统，即外在形态来看，英语的句子往往是以形来统句，一
个句子往往是一个支点，其他的部分围绕着这一支点展开，逻辑关系明确，语法条理清晰，构成
一个形态的整体；而汉语则是以意辖界，意尽为界，因此有时为了说明一个事情需要许多独立的
句子，这些句子围绕一个意义的支点而阐发，形成一个意义整体。
77王力先生曾经说过：“英国人写文章往往化零为整，而中国人则化整为零。”这是从语言的形态
而言，不是从语言的意义来说的。汉译时要特别注意整体意义的把握以及英语形态的拆零。
78 The idea of a fish being able to generate electricity strong enough to light small bulbs, even to
run electric motors, is almost unbelievable.
鱼能发电，其电量足以点亮小灯泡，甚至能开动马达，这种想法简直是令人难以相信的。
79The isolation of the rural world because of distance and the lack of transport facilities is
compounded by the paucity of the information media.
因为距离远，交通工具缺乏，使农村社会与外界隔绝。这种隔绝，由于通讯工具的不足，而
变得更加严重。
1. They, not surprisingly, did not respond at all.
2. Incidentally, I hope to get better medical treatment in these countries than I can possibly get
here in the United States.
3. The Chinese seemed justifiably proud of their economic achievements.
4. She sat with her hands cupping her chin, staring at a corner of the kitchen.
1. 他们根本没有答复，这是不足为奇的。
2. 顺便提一下，与我在美国所能得到的治疗相比，我希望能在这些国家得到更好的治疗。
3. 中国人似乎为他们在经济上取得的成绩而自豪，这是合乎情理的。
4. 她坐在那儿双手托着下巴，眼睛凝视着小厨房的一角。
80从本体论角度来讲，中国人受“易经”哲学的影响，注重整体统一，强调从多归一的思想；而西
方人更多地侧重于分析原则，注重逻辑推理，强调由一到多的思想。不同的传统文化的影响，形
成了“东方重综合,西方重分析”(季羡林语)的思维习惯。
81中国传统哲学重视人与自然的和谐，视“天人合一”为最高境界，天中有人，人中有天，“天人
之际，合二为一”。庄子认为“天地与我并生，万物与我为一”，这种物我不分、物我两忘的诗意境
界，是天人同体同德、万物有情的宇宙观。
82 There are several reasons why Kissinger no longer appears to be the magician the world press
had made him out to be, an illusion which he failed to discourage because, as he would admit
himself, he has a tendency toward megalomania.
全世界报界曾经把基辛格渲染成魔术师般的人物，他也没有阻止人们制造这种错误印象，因为正
如他自己愿意承认的，他有一种自大狂的倾向。现在他不再像是这样的人物了，这有几个原因。
1. He had a sound feeling that idiom was the backbone of a language and he was all for the racy
phrases.
2. Somebody lied, if he said my life is a happy little tale, or he told you I’m just an ordinary guy in
the world.
3. The theory is of great importance that the hotter the body is, the more energy it radiate.
1. 他感到习语是语言的主要支柱，因此特别主张用生动的短语，他的想法是非常正确的。
2. 如果有人说我的一生是一个喜剧，或者说我只是个普通人，他们都在撒谎。
3. 物体的温度越高，放射的能量越多，这一理论非常重要。

1 What you have always wanted until now has been a set, steady, constant purpose. I therefore
exhort you to persevere in a thorough determination to do whatever you have to do as well as you

5 Few expected to see so large a man: he is gigantic, a six feet four at least; few expected to see so
old a person; his hair appears to have kept silvery record over fifty years; and then there was a
notion in the minds of many that there must be something dashing and “fast” in his appearance,
whereas his costume was perfectly plain, the expression of his face grave and earnest, his address
perfectly unaffected and such as we might expect to meet with in a well-bred man somewhat
advanced in years.
很少人预料见到如此高大的一个人：他身材魁梧,身高至少也有六呎四吋。很少人预料见到年

6 Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large
fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the
place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to
take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of
next week.
嗨，亲爱的，你可要知道，朗太太说，租内瑟菲德庄园的是英格兰北边来的一个年轻人，有
大笔家当；说他星期一坐了一辆驷马轿车来看了房子，一看就十分中意，马上跟莫里斯先生租妥，
说要在米迦勒节以前就搬进去，而且他的几个佣人下个周末就要先住进去了。

11 I write this note today because your going away is much upon my mind, and because I want you
to have a few parting words from me to think of now and then at quiet times. I need not tell you
that I love you dearly, and am very, very sorry in my heart to part with you.
今天我写这封短笺，一方面是因为你的离去萦绕我心，另一方面是因为要给你只字片语，供
你在宁静的时刻里，时而思量。我毋须告诉你，我爱你有多深，与你分离，我心惆怅不已。
12 It is my comfort and my sincere conviction that you are going to try the life for which you are
best fitted. I think its freedom and wildness more suited to you than any experiment in a study or
office would ever have been; and without that training, you could have followed no other suitable
occupation.
你将体验的生活是最适合你的，这是我的安慰，也是我诚挚的信念。我认为那种自由与无拘
无束的生活较比书房或办公室的工作更适合你。缺少那种训练，你就不能从事其他适合你的职业。
13 A plain man of the people, and extraordinary fortune attended him. He offered no shining
qualities at the first encounter; he did not offend by superiority. He had a face and manner which
disarmed suspicion, which inspired confidence, which confirmed good will. He was a man without
vices. He had a strong sense of duty, which it was very easy for him to obey. Then, he had what
farmers call a long head; was excellent in working out the sum for himself; in arguing his case and
convincing you fairly and firmly.
他是一位平凡的人，但生逢其时（但有不平凡的际遇）。初次见面，人们看不出他有什么才华。
他不会以优越惹人不快（盛气凌人）。他的容貌与举止消除（人们对他的）猜疑，激发（人们对他
的）信心，而且肯定他的善意。他是一位行为端正的人。他具有强烈的责任感，（尽忠职守），对
他来说易如反掌。他有着农夫们所谓的“长头”（即深具远见），擅长于找出问题的症结，他辩才无
碍，使人们对他的论点坚信不疑。
14 Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in
privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and
disposition of business. For expert men can exe-cute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one;
but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are
learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is
affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其博彩也，最见于高
谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然
纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文
断事乃学究故态。

16 The weather of summer is hot, while winter is cold and dreary. Both of these seasons are not for
us to study. In the time of autumn, cold winds which are not at all pleasant generally blow. But
spring has none of these drawbacks; the flowers bloom, the woods and grasses grow luxuriantly.
The weather is mild and the air is balmy. In fact, this season seems full of good things and better
fitted to be the time for doing something.
夏天的天气炎热，冬天的天气寒冷阴沉。这两个季节均不适合我们读书。在秋天的日子，通常
寒风飒飒，一点也不令人喜悦。但是春天毫无这些缺憾，(百)花儿盛开，草木茂盛，气候温和，
春风和煦。事实上，这一季节似乎充满美好的事物，且是更宜于工作的时间。
17 The Presidency is an eighteen-century invention up against the problems of the late twentieth;
it has never been as all-powerful as a generation of civics texts made it seem, and it has been
further reduced by the reaction—some say overreaction—to its Empire Period under Johnson and
Nixon.
总统的职务是在18世纪创立的，而现在面临的却是20世纪末的问题。这个职位从来没有像历代
的公民学教科书中所描绘的那样权威赫赫；而且，经过约翰逊和尼克松两个王朝所得到的反应——
有些人说那是过火的反应——使它已遭到进一步削弱。

19 The pictures that linger in his mind, called up in a moment by such sensations as the smell of
roses or of new-mown hay, are of a simpler nature. A little cottage nestling amidst the wayside trees,
the blue smoke curling up against the green, and a bower of roses round the door; or perhaps a
village street of which the name has been long forgotten, with its rambling old inn, and, a little
distance away, the hoary, grey church-tower in its township of tombstone—there are the pictures of
old England that are carried away to other climes.
小小的农舍偎依在路旁的树丛中，袅袅炊烟飘向绿色的屏障，荫凉的蔷薇丛环绕着门庭；远处
的小街可见一座设计不太规范的客店，灰色教堂的尖顶在不远处耸立于乡村墓地中——这才是古
老英国的真实图景，这才是英国留给游客的印象。
20 We have achieved much because we have built on each other’s successes. We have been open to
new partnerships, to new projects, to new ideas, and to new horizons. And above all, we have
joined together as a Pacific community, turning a great ocean into a bridge, not a barrier, between
nations.
我们取得了巨大成就，因为我们从各自的成功中相互受益。我们欢迎新的伙伴关系、新项目、
新思想和新环境。最重要的是，我们作为太平洋地区的成员共同努力，将浩瀚的海洋变成了连接
国与国之间的桥梁，而不是设置壁垒。

Rubin were considered hot prospects had Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry won the White House.
与11月2日总统大选之前相比，美国政府内部和华尔街所关注的美联储主席候选人人数减少

22 Never take a mean advantage of any one in any transaction, and never be hard upon people who

greatest rule laid down by our Savior than that you should.

common in younger people and women. It is possible that binge-drinking and smoking could be
helping to fuel rising rates of the disease as these are key risk factors.
过去一度认为那些年纪大一些的人更容易患口腔癌，但从目前情况来看，该病在年轻人中正呈现

but in our pitying let us drop a tear, too, for the men who are striving to carry on a great enterprise,
