Unit 2 Neat People vs. Sloppy People

Suzanne Britt

整洁人与邋遢人

苏珊娜·布里特

1. I’ve finally figured out the difference between neat people and sloppy people. The distinction is, as always, moral. Neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.

1. 我终于悟出了整洁人和邋遢人的区别。他们的区别总是表现在德行上。整洁人比邋遢人来得更懒惰、更吝尚。

2. Sloppy people, you see, are not really sloppy. Their sloppiness is merely the unfortunate consequence of their extreme moral rectitude.Sloppy people carry in their mind’s eye a h eavenly vision, a precise plan, which is so stupendous, so perfect, it can’t be achieved in this world or the next.

2. 要知道，邋遢人其实并非真的邋遢。他们的邋遢只是过于讲究德行而造成的不良后果。邋遢人心目中有着美妙的想象，有着周密的计划，既宏伟又完满，今生来世都无法实现。

3. Sloppy people live in Never-Never Land. Someday is their métier. Someday they are planning to alphabetize all their books and set up home catalogs. Someday they will go through their wardrobes and mark certain items for tentative mending and certain items for passing on to relatives of similar shape and size. Someday sloppy people will make family scrapbooks into which they will put

newspaper clippings, postcards, locks of hair, and the dried corsage from their senior prom. Someday they will file everything on the surface of their desks, including the cash receipts from coffee purchases at the snack shop. Someday they will sit down and read all the back issues of The New Yorker.

3. 邋遢人生活在理想王国里。他们最善于筹划有朝一日怎么办。有朝一日，他们要把自己的书全都按照字母顺序编排好，建立一个家庭图书目录。有朝一日，他们要把自己的衣服全都翻个遍，有的标明要试试能不能修补一下，有的标明要送给体型身材差不多的亲戚。有朝一日，邋遢人要制作家庭剪贴簿，把剪报、明信片、头发以及大学四年级班级舞会上用过的枯萎的装饰花放在里面。有朝一日，他们要把办公桌上的所有东西，包括在快餐店买咖啡的现金收据，全都归档整理好。有朝一日，他们要坐下来阅读所有过期的《纽约人》。

4. For all these noble reasons and more, sloppy people never get neat. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file order and straighten out the world. But while these ambitious plans take clearer and clearer shape in their heads, the books spill from the shelves onto the floor, the clothes pile up in the hamper and closet, the family mementos accumulate in every drawer, the surface of the desk is buried under mounds of paper and the unread magazines threaten to reach the ceiling.

4. 由于这些以及其他雄心勃勃的理由，遨遏人从来整洁不起来。他们把目标定得太高太远，于卜么东西都要保留下来，计划有朝一日再整理、再归档，把一切搞得井井有条。然而，就在这些宏伟的计划在心单渐渐成形的时候，书从书架上散落到地上，衣篮和衣柜单堆满了衣服，个个抽屉里都放满了纪念品，桌面上摆满了一摞摞的材料，没读过的杂志都快顶到天花板了。

5. Sloppy people can’t bear to part with anything. They give

loving attention to every detai l. When sloppy people say they’re going to tackle the surface of a desk, they really mean it. Not a paper will go unturned; not a rubber band橡皮筋will go unboxed. Four hours or two weeks into the excavation, the desk looks exactly the same, primarily because the sloppy person is meticulously creating new piles of papers with new headings and scrupulously stopping to read all the old book catalogs before he throws them away. A neat person would just bulldoze the desk.

5. 邋遢人什么东西都不舍得丢掉，什么小东西都当成宝贝。当邋遢人说是要清理桌面时，他们还真不是说着玩的。每一张纸片都要翻个个儿，每一根橡皮筋都要装到盒子里。经过四小时或两星期的大清理，桌面上还跟先前一模一样，主要因为邋遢人会一丝不苟地立起新的名目，建起新的文件堆，还要把所有的旧书目仔仔细细地查看一番，才肯最终扔掉。整洁人则会把桌了清除得一干二净。

6. Neat people are bums and clods at heart. They have cavalier attitudes toward possessions, including family heirlooms. Everything is just another dust-catcher to them. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go and that’s that. Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down the clutter.

6. 整洁人其实都是些懒汉和笨蛋。他们对自己的东西漫不经心，就是传家宝也毫不在意。在他们看来，任何东西都会吸引灰尘。什么东西一染上灰尘就得处理掉，没有什么好说的。为了减少家里的凌乱，整洁人还捉摸想把孩了扔出去。

7. Neat people don’t care about process. They like results. What they want to do is get the whole thing over with so they can sit down and watch the rasslin’ on TV. Neat people operate on two unvarying

principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everything away.

7. 整洁人并不在乎过程，而是喜欢结果。他们只想把什么都了结了，好坐下来打开电视看摔跤。整洁人有两条一定不易的行为准则：什么东西都不做二次处理，统统都要扔掉。

8. The only thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can. The minute something come s to a neat person’s hand, he will look at it, try to decide if it has immediate use and, finding none, throw it in the trash.

8. 整洁人家里唯一凌乱的就是垃圾箱。整洁人一拿到一样东西，就要打量一番，看看是否能马上派上用场，如果马上派不上用场，就扔进垃圾箱里。

9. Neat people are especially vicious with mail. They never go through their mail unless they are standing directly over a trash can. If the trash can is beside the mailbox, even better. All ads, catalogs, pleas for charitable contributions, church bulletins and money-saving coupons go straight into the trash can without being opened. All letters from home, postcards from Europe, bills and paychecks are opened, immediately responded to, then dropped in the trash can. Neat people keep their receipts only for tax purposes. That’s it. No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter of a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes.

9. 整洁人对信件特别不留情。他们每次看信必定要站在垃圾箱跟前。如果垃圾箱就在信箱旁边，那岂不是更好。所有的广告、目录、恳求慈善捐款、教堂公告、购物优惠券，也不拆封就投进了垃圾箱。所有的家信、欧洲来的明信片、所有的帐单和薪金支票，则要打开，马上回复，然后扔进垃圾箱。整洁人只是为

了方便缴税，才保存收据的。仅此而己。他们决不会感情用事，保留生日卡或哪位生命垂危的亲戚写来的最后一封信。这些全要扔进垃圾箱。

10. Neat people place neatness above everything, even economics. They are incredibly wasteful. Neat people throw away several toys every time they walk through the den. I knew a neat person once who threw away a perfectly good dish drainer because it had mold on it. The drainer was too much trouble to wash. And neat people sell their furniture when they move. They will sell a La-Z-Boy recliner while you are reclining in it.

10. 整洁人把整洁看得高于一切，甚至都不考虑经济因素。他们浪费起来真令人难以置信，每次打娱乐室走过时，都要扔掉儿件玩具。我曾认识一个整洁人，他扔掉了一只非常好的餐具滤干器，因为那玩意儿发霉了，洗起来太费劲儿。整洁人一搬家，就要卖家具。你还躺在一把懒汉躺椅上，他们就把躺椅给卖掉了。

11. Neat people are no good to borrow from. Neat people buy everything in expensive little single portions. They get their flour and sugar in two-pound bags. They wouldn’t consider clipping a coupon, saving leftover, reusing plastic non-dairy不含牛奶的；没有乳制品whipped cream n. 生奶油containers or rinsing off tin foil and draping it over the unmold dish drainer. You can never borrow a neat person’s newspaper to see what’s play ing at the movies. Neat people have the paper all wadded up and in the trash by 7:05 a.m.

11. 整洁人的东西可不要去借。他们买什么东西都要价钱很贵的单份小包装，买面粉和食糖要两磅一袋的。他们从不考虑剪下一张购物优惠券，保留一点剩余物，重复使用非乳制损奶油塑料盒，或是把锡纸冲洗干净，搭在没有发霉的

餐具滤干器上。你想向整洁人借张报纸看看电影院在放映什么电影，那是永远做不到的。早晨七点零五分，整洁人就把报纸揉作一团，扔进了垃圾箱。

12. Neat people cut a clean swath through the organic as well as the inorganic world. People, animals, and things are all one to them. They are so insensitive. After they’ve finished with the pantry, the medicine cabinet, and the attic, they will throw out the red geranium 英 [d??'re?n??m] n. 天竺葵(too many leaves), sell the dog (too many fleas), and send the children off to boarding school (too many scuffmarks on the hardwood floors).

12. 整洁人不竹你是无生物，还是有生物，全都要一扫而光。人、动物、东西，对他们来说都是一回事。他们太麻木不仁了。他们清理完食品室、药柜和阁楼之后，就会扔掉天竺葵（嫌叶子太多），卖掉狗（嫌跳蚤太多），把孩子打发到寄宿学校（嫌他们给硬木地板留下太多的瘢痕）。

摘要: 刘士聪、马会娟译

Caesar was right. Thin people need watching. I've been watching them for most of my adult life, and I don't like what I see. When these narrow fellows spring at me, I quiver to my toes. Thin people come in all personalities, most of them menacing. You've got your "together" thin person, your mechanical thin person, your condescending thin person, your tsk-tsk thin person, your efficiency-expert thin person. All of them are dangerous.

In the first place, thin people aren't fun. They don't know how to goof off, at least in the best, fat sense of the word. They've always got to be adoing. Give them a coffee break, and they'll jog around the block. Supply them with a quiet evening at home, and they'll fix the screen door and lick S&H green stamps. They say things like "there aren't enough hours in the day." Fat people never say that. Fat people think the day is too damn long already.

Thin people make me tired. They've got speedy little metabolisms that cause them to bustle briskly. They're forever rubbing their bony hands together and eyeing new problems to "tackle". I like to surround myself with sluggish, inert, easygoing fat people, the kind who believe that if you

clean it up today, it'll just get dirty again tomorrow.

Some people say the business about the jolly fat person is a myth, that all of us chubbies are neurotic, sick, sad people. I disagree. Fat people may not be chortling all day long, but they're a hell of a lot nicer than the wizened and shriveled. Thin people turn surly, mean and hard at a young age because they never learn the value of a hot-fudge sundae for easing tension. Thin people don't like gooey soft things because they themselves are neither gooey nor soft. They are crunchy and dull, like carrots. They go straight to the heart of the matter while fat people let things stay all blurry and hazy and vague, the way things actually are. Thin people want to face the truth. Fat people know that there is no truth. One of my thin friends is always staring at complex, unsolvable problems and saying, "The key thing is ..." Fat people never say things like that. They know there isn't any such thing as the key thing about anything.

Thin people believe in logic. Fat people see all sides. The sides fat people see are rounded blobs, usually gray, always nebulous and truly not worth worrying about. But the thin person persists, "If you consume more calories than you burn," says one of my thin friends, "you will gain weight. It's that simple." Fat people always grin when they hear statements like that. They know better.

Fat people realize that life is illogical and unfair. They know very well that God is not in his heaven and all is not right with the world. If God was up there, fat people could have two doughnuts and a big orange drink anytime they wanted it.

Thin people have a long list of logical things they are always spouting off to me. They hold up one finger at a time as they reel off these things, so I won't lose track. They speak slowly as if to a young child. The list is long and full of holes. It contains tidbits like "get a grip on yourself", "cigarettes kill", "cholesterol clogs", "fit as a fiddle", "ducks in a row", "organize", and "sound fiscal management." Phrases like that.

They think these 2000-point plans lead to happiness. Fat people know happiness is elusive at best and even if they could get the kind thin people talk about, they wouldn't want it. Wisely, fat people see that such programs are too dull, too hard, too off the mark. They are never better than a whole cheesecake.

Fat people know all about the mystery of life. They are the ones acquainted with the night, with luck, with fate, with playing it by the ear. One thin person I know once suggested that we arrange all the parts of a jigsaw puzzle into groups according to size, shape and color. He figured this would cut the time needed to complete the puzzle by at least 50 per cent. I said I wouldn't do it. One, I like to muddle through. Two, what good would it do to finish early? Three, the jigsaw puzzle isn't the important thing. The important thing is the fun of four people (one thin person included) sitting around a card table, working a jigsaw puzzle. My thin friend had no use for my list. Instead of joining us, he went outside and mulched the boxwoods. The three remaining fat people finished the puzzle and made chocolate double-fudged brownies to celebrate.

The main problem with thin people is they oppress. Their good intentions, bony torsos, tight ships, neat corners, cerebral machinations and pat solutions loom like dark clouds over the loose, comfortable, spread-out, soft world of the fat. Long after fat people have removed their coats and shoes and put their feet up on the coffee table, thin people are still sitting on the edge of the sofa, looking neat as a pin, discussing rutabagas. Fat people are heavily into fits of laughter, slapping their thighs and whooping it up, while thin people are still politely waiting for the punch line.

Thin people are downers. They like math and morality and reasoned evaluation of the

limitations of human beings. They have their skinny little acts together. They expound, prognose, probe and prick.

Fat people are convivial. They will like you even if you're irregular and have acne. They will come up with a good reason why you never wrote the great American novel. They will cry in your beer with you. They will put your name in the pot. They will let you off the hook. Fat people will gab, giggle, guffaw, gallumph, gyrate and gossip. They are generous, giving and gallant. They are gluttonous and goodly and great. What you want when you're down is soft and jiggly, not muscled and stable. Fat people know this. Fat people have plenty of room. Fat people will take you in.

瘦人瘦相

苏姗娜·希里特·乔丹

凯撒说得对。遇上瘦人要当心。我自成年以来，多半时间都在注意他们，但所看到的情况让我不喜欢。细瘦的人冲我走来时，我连脚趾都哆嗦。虽然瘦人的性格各异，但多数让人望而生畏。你一定见过“井井有条”的瘦子，机械呆板的瘦子，优越感十足的瘦子，常常“啧啧”作响的瘦子，以及有“效率专家”之称的瘦子。他们都是危险人物。

首先，瘦人没意思。他们不懂得消闲，至少他们不了解“消闲”二字在最好和最广泛的意义上的含义。他们总是闲不住。若让他们停下来喝杯咖啡，他们就到街上去跑步；若让他们晚上在家里安安静静地待一会儿，他们就忙着钉纱门，用舌头舔贴S&H绿贴花*。他们老是抱怨说“白天时间不够”之类的话。胖人可从不说那个。他们觉得白天已经太长了。

瘦人让我感到累。他们新陈代谢快，手脚总是忙个不停。他们总是搓着那只皮包骨头的小手，东张西望，看有什么新问题需要“着手解决”。我喜欢和那些慢腾腾、懒洋洋、随随便便的胖人在一起，那种认为你今天打扫干净了明天还会变脏的人。

有人说关于笑嘻嘻的胖子的事情纯属杜撰；说我们胖人都是神经质，有病，可悲。我不同意。胖子虽然不是整天乐呵呵，但跟那干瘪的瘦子比起来要好得多。瘦子年纪轻轻的就变得脾气很坏，又小气又苛刻，因为他们从没认识到热乳脂软糖圣代冰淇淋可以缓和紧张情绪。瘦子不喜欢又甜又软的东西，因为他们自己既不甜也不温柔。他们像胡萝卜，嚼起来嘎吱作响而没有味道。瘦子喜欢直奔事物的要害，胖子却让事物就那么保持在含混模糊的状态，实际上客观的事物就是那样！瘦子总想面对真理，胖人很清楚，世上本无真理。我的一个瘦子朋友，眼睛老是盯着那些复杂、棘手的问题，说：“关键在于……”胖子从来不说那种话。他们知道，什么关键不关键的，根本就没那回事。

瘦子相信逻辑，而胖子从各个方面看问题。胖子所看到的各个方面是一团团难以名状的东西，通常是灰色的，黑白不甚分明，真不值得为之伤脑筋。但瘦子却很执著。“如果摄入的热量比消耗的多，”我的瘦子朋友说，“你的体重就会增加。道理就这么简单。”胖子听了这样的话，总是一笑了之。这个他们比谁都懂。

胖子知道，生活既不合逻辑，也不公平。他们很清楚，天上没有上帝，世上的一切都不正常。要是天上有上帝，胖子们岂不是随时都可以吃上两个馅饼，喝上一大杯橘子汁了。

瘦子总是滔滔不绝地给我拉出一个很长的单子，好谈什么事情是符合逻辑的。他们掰着手指一件一件地数着，这样我就不会跟不上。他们说话速度很慢，

好像我是个小孩子。他们拉的单子很长，但漏洞百出。尽是些诸如“管住你自己”、“香烟能杀人”、“胆固醇堵塞血管”、“非常健康”、“井井有条”、“组织起来”和“完善财政管理”之类的空话。

他们认为这些有两千条的计划可以使你幸福。胖子知道，在最好的情况下幸福也是难以琢磨的，即使得到瘦子所说的那种幸福，他们也不要。胖子明智地看到，瘦子的计划太枯燥、太离谱、难以实现。永远比不上一块乳酪蛋糕。

胖子了解生活的奥秘。他们懂得夜生活，懂得运气，懂得命运，懂得随时就势。有一次，我认识的一个瘦子建议我们把拼图玩具按照大小、形状、颜色分开。他认为这样至少能把做一次游戏所需要的时间减少一半。我说我可不愿意那样做。第一，我喜欢随随便便地玩；第二，早早玩完了又有什么好处？第三，拼图本身并不重要，重要的是四个人（包括我的瘦子朋友）围着桌子做拼图游戏的乐趣。他不喜欢我列的那几条。他没有和我们一起玩，而是跑到外面给黄杨树根培土去了。剩下我们三个胖子玩完拼图后，做了几个双层巧克力饼以示庆祝。

瘦子最主要的问题是让人感到压抑。他们良好的愿望、瘦骨嶙峋的身躯、严密的组织、打扫干净的角落、理智的计谋、恰当的解决方案等，都像乌云一样笼罩着胖子的松散、舒适、开阔、温柔的世界。胖子早已脱下外套、鞋子，把脚搁在咖啡桌子上了，瘦子还坐在沙发边上一本正经地讨论着芜菁甘蓝。胖子已经拍着大腿前仰后合笑成一团时，瘦子还彬彬有礼地琢磨他们到底在笑什么。

瘦子使人感觉沮丧。他们喜欢讨论数学和道德之类的话题，以及已经争辩过的有关人类局限性的评价等。他们同时挥舞着瘦小的手臂不停地做着十分小所的动作。他们解释着，预测着，探索着，警惕着。

胖子喜欢社交。即使你脾气有些古怪，脸上有粉刺，他们也会喜欢你。在你没能写出那本伟大的美国小说时，他们会为你找到一个很好的理由。他们同你一起借酒浇愁。他们凑钱买东西时会把你的名字也写上。他们会帮你摆脱困境。胖子喜欢闲聊、傻乐、狂笑、狂蹦乱跳、转来转去，爱传小道消息。他们慷慨，大方，豪爽。他们贪吃，漂亮，伟大。你心情不好时需要温柔和轻松，而不是强劲和持重。胖子懂得这个道理。他们肚量大，容得下你。

Unit 13 People 课时练1 2篇阅读＋1篇七选五＋1篇完形 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2020·河南六市高三联考)Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears. Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision-and hearing-impaired(视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them. Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision-and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.” Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the five -kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that it took time to develop. Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，” she said. Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her. Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them，” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” 【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。残疾人参加体育锻炼与正常人是不同的，他们常常面临各种挑战，为此专门成立了一个锻炼帮扶组织。文章讲述了该组织帮扶的两个具体事例。 1．What does Paragraph 1 try to show?

高考英语一轮复习Unit13People能力提升题组训练（B）（含解 析）北师大版 能力提升题组训练(B) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off (下岗的) co-workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it’s the latter. Brendan Burchell,a Cambridge sociologist,presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person’s mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve,the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse,” Burchell says. Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from —even if the result is cancer. It’s better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress. But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains,“For women, most studies show that any job—it doesn’t matter whether it is secure or insecure—gives psychological improvement over unemployment.”Burchell supposes
