Unit 5 Lifelong Education

Passage A Tongue-tied

Several weeks ago I was riding in a cab when the driver's eyes caught mine in the rear view mirror and he said, "Excuse me, Miss? Can you help me?"

As any hard-bitten city dweller knows, the correct answer to a question like "Can you help me?" should always be some version of "It depends." I chirped, "Sure."

"Thank you," he said. He passed a slip of yellow paper into the back seat.

I stared at the paper, wondering. Was this a joke? A threat? Hand-printed on the paper in tiny block letters was this:

proverb

peculiar

idiomatic

"Please," he said. "What is the meaning of these words?"

I stared at the words in the distressed way you might stare at party guests whose faces you've seen somewhere before but whose names have escaped your mind. Proverb? Peculiar? Idiomatic? How on earth should I know? It's one thing to use a word, it's another to explain it. I resorted to shifting the topic.

"Where did you get these words?"

The driver explained that he was Pakistani. He listened to the radio as he drove and often jotted down unfamiliar, fascinating words whose meanings and spellings he then sought from his passengers.

"Peculiar," he said. "What does this mean?"

I could manage that one. "Strange," I said. "Odd. Often with a hint of something suspicious."

"Thank you, Miss. And idiomatic?"

I cleared my throat. "Um, it's a, well, um. It involves a peculiar use of the language."

I thought my use of peculiar was kind of clever. He looked confused, a reminder that clever's not clever if it doesn't communicate.

"Uh, let's see. 'Idiomatic' is related to the word 'idiom'. An idiom's something that's used in, say, a particular part of the country or by a particular group of people. People who aren't part of that group aren't likely to use it and might not understand it."

Watching his puzzled look, I did what a person often does when at a loss for the right words: I went on talking, as if a thousand vague words would add up to one accurate definition.

"Can you give me an example?"

I racked my brains. "Gapers block," I said. A peculiarly Chicago phrase.

But did it really qualify as idiomatic? I had no idea because the longer I thought about idioms the less sure I was what they were.

"And proverb?"

I should have told the poor man right then that I might be misleading him down the proverbial path, whatever that really means, but instead I said, "I think a proverb is kind of like an aphorism. But not quite."

"A what?"

"Never mind. A proverb is a condensed saying that teaches you a lesson."

"An example?"

The meter clicked off a full 20 cents while I searched madly through my mind. "Haste makes waste?" I finally whimpered.

But was that a proverb? Wait. Weren't proverbs actually stories, not just phrases? While I was convincing myself they were, he said, "Can an idiom be a proverb?"

I could answer that. Just not right now, now when it mattered, now when the fate of

a curious, intelligent immigrant hung on the answers he assumed would fall from a native speaker's tongue as naturally as leaves from an October tree. So I retreated.

"Do most of your passengers give you answers when you ask for definitions?"

"Oh, yes, Miss. Very interesting definitions."

Until that moment, I'd been so inspired by the driver's determination to learn English, so enthralled by the chance to indulge my curiosity about words with another curious soul, that I didn't fully grasp the potential for linguistic fraud committed in this man's cab. Now I could barely allow myself to imagine what kind of deformed English he was being fed by cowards like me who couldn't simply say, "I don't really know my own language."

I can only trust that someone as curious as he is also owns a dictionary. And that he figures out that, no matter what his passengers may say, haste doesn't always make waste at the gapers block.

无言以对

几周前我乘坐出租车，司机通过后视镜看着我说：“对不起，小姐，能帮个忙吗？”

精明老练的城里人都知道，对诸如“能帮个忙吗？”这样的问题，回答永远应该是“那要看是什么忙了。”而我却高声地说：“当然可以。”

“谢谢！”他说，并向后排座递过来一张黄纸条。

我盯着纸条，疑心顿起：难道他在开玩笑？抑或是威胁？纸条上是手写的工工整整几个小字：proverb，peculiar，idiomatic。

“请问，这几个字是什么意思？”

我沮丧地看着纸条上的字，就好像在晚会上你盯着几个以前曾经见过的面孔，却怎么也想不起他们的名字。Proverb？Peculiar？Idiomatic？我怎么会知道？会用一个词是一回事儿，会解释可是另外一回事儿。于是我故意转移话题。

“这些字是哪儿来的？”

司机解释说他是巴基斯坦人，开车时喜欢听收音机，经常把不熟悉的、精彩的词随手记下来，然后向乘客询问他们的意思和拼法。

“Peculiar，这个词什么意思？”他问。

这个我知道。“指奇特、古怪，经常带点儿怀疑的意味，”我说。

“谢谢您，小姐。那么，idiomatic呢？”

我清清嗓子，说：“嗯，它是指，嗯，它是语言的一种独特运用。”

我自以为“独特”一词用得很妙，他却一脸的迷惑。这是在提示我，如果对方没有明白，这词儿就不能算用得妙。

“啊，这么说吧，idiomatic和idiom有关，而idiom是指一个国家的某一特定地区或一个民族的某一特定人群使用的词，该地区以外的人，不属于这个群体的人一般不用或不明白它的用法。”

看着他迷惑不解的样子，我不知用什么恰当的词才好，只好继续解释下去，似乎一千个模糊的词加起来可以等于一个准确的定义。

“你能举个例子吗？”

我绞尽脑汁地想：“围观塞车，”这是个独特的芝加哥惯用语。

可这算得上名副其实的惯用语吗？我不得而知。我越想惯用语，就越没有把握说清楚惯用语到底是什么？

“那么proverb呢？”

我本该当时就告诉这个可怜的人，我的解释也许会误导他对谚语真正含义的理解，但我却说：“我觉得谚语就是一种警语，但又不完全是。”

“一种什么？”

“算了，别管它，谚语是给人们以警示的短小精悍的句子。”

“比如说……”

当我在脑海里拼命地搜索时，记价器上的数字又跳了20美分。最后我低声说：“欲速则不达？”

但它算是谚语吗？且慢，谚语是否应该是些小故事而并非短语呢？我还在掂量谚语可能就是小故事时，他又问：“那惯用语是谚语吗？”

这我可以回答，但不是在此时。因为此时这一回答至关重要，一个好奇聪明的外国移民以为他所期待的答案会从一个本国人的口中自然而然地脱口而出，就好像十月的树叶会自然地落下来一样。因此我退却了。

“你请乘客给你解释词意的时候，他们大多都会给你答案吗？”

“会的，小姐，很有意思的解释。”

直到那时，我一直在为这位司机学习英语的执著而感动，陶醉于能有机会与一个充满好奇心的人一起来满足自己对语言词语的好奇心，却未能充分意识到在这辆出租车上可能犯下的语言欺诈错误。我几乎不敢想象这位司机听到的是什么样的蹩脚英语，因为像我这样的懦夫不敢坦白地承认：“我对自己的母语并不懂。”

我只能希望像他这样好奇的人会有一本字典，希望他能明白，不论乘客如何解释，发生围观塞车时，欲速则未必不达。

Passage B Returning to College

If I thought I'd live to be a hundred, I'd go back to college next fall. I was drafted into the Army at the end of my junior year and, after four years in the service, had no

inclination to return to finish. By then, it seemed, I knew everything.

Well, as it turns out, I don't know everything, and I'm ready to spend some time learning. I wouldn't want to pick up where I left off. I'd like to start all over again as a freshman. You see, it isn't just the education that appeals to me. I've visited a dozen colleges in the last two years, and college life looks extraordinarily pleasant.

The young people on campus are all gung ho to get out and get at life. They don't seem to understand they're having one of its best parts. Here they are with no responsibility to anyone but themselves, a hundred or a thousand ready-made friends, teachers trying to help them, families at home waiting for them to return for Christmas to tell all about their triumphs, three meals a day - so it isn't gourmet food - but you can't have everything.

Too many students don't really have much patience with the process of being educated. They think half the teachers are idiots, and I wouldn't deny this. They think the system stinks sometimes. I wouldn't deny that. They think there aren't any nice girls/boys around. I'd deny that. They just won't know what an idyllic time of life college can be until it's over.

The students are anxious to acquire the knowledge they think they need to make a buck, but they aren't really interested in education for education's sake. That's where they're wrong, and that's why I'd like to go back to college. I know now what a joy knowledge can be, independent of anything you do with it.

I'd take several courses in philosophy. I like the thinking process that goes with it. Philosophers are fairer than is absolutely necessary, but I like them, even the ones that I think are wrong. Too much of what I know of the great philosophers comes secondhand or from condensations. I'd like to take a course in which I actually had to read Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Spinoza, Locke, John Dewey and the other great thinkers.

I'd like to take some calculus, too. I have absolutely no ability in that direction and not much interest, either, but there's something going on in mathematics that I don't understand, and I'd like to find out what it is. My report cards won't be mailed to my father and mother, so I won't have to worry about marks. I bet I'l1 do better than when they were mailed.

There are some literary classics I ought to read and I never will, unless I'm forced to by a good professor, so I'll take a few courses in English literature. I took a course that

featured George Gordon Byron, usually referred to now as "Lord Byron," and I'd like to take that over again. I did very well in it the first time. I actually read all of Don Juan and have never gotten over how great it was. I know I could get an A in that if I took it over. I'd like to have a few easy courses.

My history is very weak, and I'd want several history courses. I'm not going to break my back over them, but I'd like to be refreshed about the broad outline of history. When someone says sixteenth century to me, I'd like to be able to it with some names and events. This is just a little conversational conceit, but that's life.

If I can find a good teacher, I'd certainly want to go back over English grammar and usage. He'd have to be good, because you might not think so sometimes, but I know a lot about using the language. Still, there are times when I'm stumped. I was wondering the other day what part of speech the word "please" is in the sentence, "Please don't take me seriously."

I've been asked to speak at several college graduation ceremonies. Maybe if I graduate, they'll ask me to speak at my own.

重返大学

如果我认为我能活到百岁，那么明年秋天我就要重返大学。我在大三快结束时应征入伍。四年服役期满后，不想返校完成学业。当时我觉得我好像什么都懂了。

可是，事实是，我并不是什么都懂。我现在打算花点儿时间学习，但我不愿从休学的地方接着修读。我想重新从大一开始读。要知道，吸引我的不仅仅是大学教育本身。由于近两年来我参观过十几所大学，我感到大学生活异常愉快。

大学校园里的年轻人都巴不得尽快走出校园去体验生活。他们似乎并不明白他们现在享有的是生活中最美好的时期。在这里，他们除了对自己，无需对他人负责；在这里，他们有现成的朋友；老师会尽力帮助他们；家人会盼他们回家过圣诞节，讲述他们的得意经历；还有一日三餐，虽非美食，可你不能奢望太多。

太多的学生厌烦了受教育的过程，他们认为一半的老师是傻瓜，这我不否认；他们认为体制有时糟糕透顶，这我也不否认；他们认为周围没有可爱的女孩儿和男孩儿，这我可不同意。他们只是身在其中，没有意识到大学时光是多么美好。

学生们只是热心于掌握他们认为能使他们赚钱的知识，对教育本身实际不感兴趣。在这一点上他们大错特错了，而这一点正是我为什么要重返大学的原因。我现在知道知识的乐趣，

一种与它的实用性无关的单纯的快乐。

我要修几门哲学课程，我喜欢哲学的思维过程。哲学家们有时过于较真了，但我依然喜欢他们，甚至包括那些我认为持错误观点的哲学家。我对伟大哲学家的了解大多来自于二手资料或简写本。现在我想修一门必须研读柏拉图、亚里斯多德、休谟、斯宾诺莎、洛克、约翰·杜威和其他伟大思想家的课程。

我还想学点微积分，在这方面我既无能力又缺乏兴趣，但是在数学领域发生的一些事情我搞不明白，所以我很想探个究竟。我不必担心成绩单，因为不会寄给我的父母。我敢肯定我会比当年把成绩单寄给父母时还要学得好些。

还有一些文学名著我应该读，但如果没有来自良师的压力，我也许永远不会读，因此我要修几门英语文学课程。我曾经学过一门专门研究乔治·戈登·拜伦（现在通常称为拜伦爵士）的课程，我现在还想再重修一遍。我第一次学得不错。我甚至认认真真地读完了《唐璜》，而且一直惊异它的伟大。如果我重修一定会得到"优"。我想选几门轻松的课程。

我的历史是弱项，因此我要选几门历史课程。我当然不会为历史而呕心沥血，但至少我想重温一下历史的纲要。当有人向我提到十六世纪时，我会有能力立刻联想到某些人物和事件，这也许是为了在与人交谈时满足一点虚荣心，但这就是生活。

如果能找到一位好老师，我一定要重新学习一遍英语语法和用法。他得是位优秀老师，因为我对语言的应用还颇有些研究，有时可能会认为他教得不好。我有时也会疑惑。有一天我就想过"please"一词在"Please don't take me seriously"一句中是什么词性。

我曾应邀在几次大学毕业典礼上讲话。也许我毕业的时候，他们会请我在我自己的毕业典礼上讲话。

Unit 1> Caring for Our Earth Passage A Frog Story 蛙的故事 A couple of odd things have happened lately. 最近发生了几桩怪事儿。 I have a log cabin in those woods of Northern Wisconsin. I built it by hand and also added a greenhouse to the front of it. It is a joy to live in. In fact, I work out of my home doing audio production and environmental work. As a tool of that trade I have a computer and a studio. 我在北威斯康星州的树林中有一座小木屋。是我亲手搭建的，前面还有一间花房。住在里面相当惬意。实际上我是在户外做音频制作和环境方面的工作——作为干这一行的工具，我还装备了一间带电脑的工作室。 I also have a tree frog that has taken up residence in my studio. 还有一只树蛙也在我的工作室中住了下来。 How odd, I thought, last November when I first noticed him sitting atop my sound-board over my figured that he(and I say he,though I really don’t have a clue if she is a he or vice versa) would be more comfortable in the greenhouse. So I put him in the greenhouse. Back he came. And stayed. After a while I got quite used to the fact that as I would check my morning email and online news, he would be there with me surveying the world. 去年十一月，我第一次惊讶地发现他（只是这样称呼罢了，事实上我并不知道该称“他”还是“她”）坐在电脑的音箱上。我把他放到花房里去，认为他待在那儿会更舒服一些。可他又跑回来待在原地。很快我就习惯了有他做伴，清晨我上网查收邮件和阅读新闻的时候，他也在一旁关注这个世界。 Then, last week, as he was climbing around looking like a small gray / green human, I started to wonder about him. 可上周，我突然对这个爬上爬下的“小绿人或小灰人”产生了好奇心。 So, there I was, working in my studio and my computer was humming had to stop when Tree Frog went across my stopped and turned around and just sat there looking at ,I sat back and looked at him. For five months now he had been riding there with me and I was suddenly overtaken by an urge to know why he was there and not in the greenhouse,where I figured he’d live a happier frog life. 于是有一天，我正在工作室里干活，电脑嗡嗡作响。当树蛙从我面前爬过时，我不得不停止工作。他停下了并转过身来，坐在那儿看着我。好吧，我也干脆停下来望着他。五个月了，他一直这样陪着我。我突然有一股强烈的欲望想了解他：为什么他要待在这儿而不乐意待在花房里？我认为对树蛙来说，花房显然要舒适得多。 “Why are you here,” I found myself asking him. “你为什么待在这儿？”我情不自禁地问他。 As I looked at him, dead on, his eyes looked directly at me and I heard a tone. The tone seemed to hit me right in the center of my mind. It sounded very nearly like the same one as my computer. In that tone I could hear him “say” to me, “Because I want you to understand.” Yo. That was weird. “Understand what?” my mind jumped in. Then, after a moment of feeling this communication, I felt I understood why he was there. I came to understand that frogs simply want to hear other frogs and to

UNIT1 Oxford University牛津大学 Oxford University is the oldest university in Britain and one of the world's most famous institutions of higher learning. Oxford University was established during the 1100's. It is located in Oxford, England, about 80 kilometers northwest of London. 牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府。牛津大学始建于12世纪。它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。 The university has over 16,300 students (1999-2000), almost a quarter of these students are from overseas and more than 130 nationalities are represented. It consists of 35 colleges, plus five private halls established by various religious groups. Three of the five private halls are for men only. Of the colleges, St. Hilda's and Somerville are for women, and the rest are for men and women. 牛津大学有16,300多名学生（1999－2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一。他们来自130多个国家。牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私人学院。5个私人学院中，有3个只招男生。学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。At Oxford, each college is a corporate body distinct from the university and is governed by its own head and fellows. Most fellows are college instructors called tutors, and the rest are university professors and lecturers. Each college manages its own buildings and property, elects its own fellows, and selects and admits its own undergraduate students. The university provides some libraries, laboratories, and other facilities, but the colleges take primary responsibility for the teaching and well-being of their students. 牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。部分管委会成员都称为导师的学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，遴选自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。大学提供某些图书馆、实验室和其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。 Each student at Oxford is assigned to a tutor, who supervises the student's program of study, primarily through tutorials. Tutorials are weekly meetings of one or two students with their tutor. Students may see other tutors for specialized instruction. They may also attend lectures given by university teachers. Students choose which lectures to attend on the basis of their own special interests and on the advice of their tutors. 牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。导师每周和1到2名学生见面一次，学生如需专业指导，还可以去约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。 The university, not the individual colleges, grants degrees. The first degree in the arts or sciences is the Bachelor of Arts with honors. Oxford also grants higher degrees, diplomas, and certificates in a wide variety of subjects. 学位由大学授予，而不是各个学院。最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予最高的学位，颁发文凭和证书。 The Rhodes scholarship program enables students from the United States, Canada, and many other nations to study at Oxford for a minimum of two years. The British government grants Marshall scholarships to citizens of the United States for study at Oxford and other universities that are located in Britain.

一、Passage A Translation 无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？ 在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具总动员》的电影。我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明父亲不可能离开太长时间。影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。 新闻媒体倾向于把父亲边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。大卫·布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。 职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。与此同时，媒体上绝大多数与父亲有关的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲形象。看起来似乎父亲唯一值得人们提及的是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟，给汽车换机油或其他一些典型的由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答，这一词语只有在葬礼上听到过。 这种“无需父亲”综合征的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出正在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家糊口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。 我们用来讨论父亲的角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女性，同样也适应于男性。我们这个社会表现出的是，似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不像对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。 更让人感到侮辱的是最近媒体的这种倾向，即把家庭主妇看成是一种“地位的象征”——就像一辆名贵的汽车，据说只有少数男人才享受得起这种奢侈与豪华。这暗示家里有家庭主妇的男人比那些妻子在外工作的男人日子过得更舒适，因为他们拥有全职管家这种“奢侈品”。然而，实际上作为家庭唯一挣钱者的男人要承受很多压力。当他们的那份工作是家庭收入的唯一来源的时候，失业，或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁，对他们而言也构成了巨大的困难。同样，家庭唯一的工资收入者在想辞去不太满意的工作时，其灵活程度也要小一些，因为这种工作变换会使他们失去收入。此外，为了给家庭挣更多的钱，许多丈夫超时工作或兼做第二职业。对于这些男人来说，正是这份工作所支撑的家庭，使他们觉得值得付出。
