Unit 7 The Chaser

Key to the Exercises

Text comprehension

I. Decide which of the following is likely to happen after the story.

C

II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.

1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, but it is varied and has extraordinary effects.)

2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 1

3. The price of a glove-cleaner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousand dollars for a teaspoonful, but the love potion is very cheap.)

3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are permanent.)

4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everything to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That is why he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his potion, he can't help "crying." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.)

5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-cleaner, to help them out. It is the "death potion" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.)

III. Answer the following questions.

1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.

2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion and scorn with adoration. It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's company. She will feel jealous of him when her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion.

3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hard

for him to stick to it. Should he regret some day, he would have to pay a much higher price to get himself out of it. Anyway, for the old man, and for his customers as he believes, the life-cleaner is more important than the love potion.

4. This means there is a wide difference between the young and the old. Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude towards love.

5. "Au revoir," an urbane and polished reply to the young man's good-bye, meaning "until I see you again," indicates the old man's firm belief that the young man will eventually come back to him for the life-cleaner. This shows his cynical pessimism about love.

IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.

1. "Just because I am able to do you a favor/sell you the love potion, I feel safe telling you so much about my other medicines."

2. "They, the love potions," said the old man, "will help change the girl's attitude towards you. She will no longer hold you in contempt. Instead, She will begin to give you her deep-felt love and care."

Structural analysis of the text

The last line "goodbye, until we meet again" carries an ironic double meaning. It's a conventional way to say goodbye. And with all those clues given in the story, it also suggests that the old man expects the young man will return for the glove-cleaner.

Rhetorical features of the text

"It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion." (Paragraph 13)

Translation exercises

I. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

1. “我亲爱的先生，”老人回答道，“我的库存不是很大——我可不经营通便剂、补牙药——不过，库存虽不多，品种倒不少。我觉得，我卖的东西药效没一样可以说是普普通通的。”

2. “你要是愿意，叫它手套清洁剂也行，”老人漠然作答。“也许可以用它来清洁手套，我没试过。或者称它生命清洁剂也未尝不可，生命有时也需要清洁。”

3. “哪能呢，不会啦，”老人说，“像爱情水，开这么个价，可没什么用处。要买爱情水的年轻人很少拥有五千美元的，要不他们也不会需要爱情水了。”

4. “不再漠不关心，”老人说，“而是忠心耿耿；不再轻蔑鄙夷，而是崇拜倾慕。拿一丁点儿这个给年轻女士——掺在橙汁、汤或是鸡尾酒中，丝毫没有异味——不管她有多么放荡不羁轻佻无常，都会脱胎换骨。她什么都不想要，只想和你独处。”

II. Translate the following sentences into English, using the words and phrases given in brackets.

1. To me, you are definitely more than an acquaintance.

2. Many artisans in this region deal in a variety of handicrafts.

3. They went into raptures over the unexpected success.

4. Much to my surprise, he analyzed with extraordinary detachment the dangerous situation that threatened all of them.

5. She peered at the stranger from behind the curtain.

6. During the holidays, he indulged in the luxury of a bath of sunshine on the beach.

7. When she learnt the news of his death, she was overwhelmed with grief.

8. I'm not in favor of buying a house on the installment plan; instead, I maintain that everyone of us should save up for a rainy day.

III. Translate the following passage into Chinese.

一个年轻人神情紧张而又犹豫，他推开门，走进一间宽敞的房间。一位老人坐在摇椅上，读着一本厚厚的羊皮纸制成的书，看上去像荷马的《奥德赛》之类的经典作品。老人没抬头，指了指旁边的椅子，示意年轻人坐下。老人说：“奥斯汀先生，很高兴认识你。”

“我想问您是不是卖，呃，一种有着特殊效果的制剂。”年轻人问道。“我亲爱的先生，事实上，我这里卖的哪种东西都是不寻常的，虽然库存相当有限。”“但是你……”年轻人有点迫不及待。“这是一种像水一样的无色液体，化在咖啡里、茶里、葡萄酒里或者其他饮料里是看不出来的，”老人打断他的话。“但它被起名为万能清洁液，它能够清洁一切东西，从手套到生活。我相信生活有时是需要清洗的。”

“恐怕那不是我要的东西，”年轻人说。“没关系，不过我想让你知道它的价格。小小的一勺，当然也足够了，我收费不下于6000美金，一分也不能少。”(听到这话，)年轻人很焦虑。不过老人接着说：“然而要是卖爱情魔液，也收这么多的钱是不合实际的，甚至是残酷的。年轻人喜欢爱情魔液，但是情况往往是这样的，他们，我指的是那些需要爱情魔液的人，他们不够富裕，如果定价这么高是买不起的，所以啊，它的价格低得令人难以置信。这时年轻人的脸上露出了微笑。“这个爱情魔液有……有着不同寻常的效果。”老人说，他似乎能够读出年轻人的心思。“效果是持久的，姑娘喝了这爱情魔液将把你看成是生活中唯一的兴趣。”

年轻人离开了屋子，心里溢满了幸福。他太幼稚了，不知道他以及和他相似的年轻人将很有可能用自己的钱造就出一个富翁，因为他或许会在将来不断地造访老人，来买别的价值昂贵而药效奇特的制剂。

Exercises for integrated skills

I. Dictation script.

Rumor is the most primitive way of spreading stories/ by passing them on from mouth to mouth./ But civilized countries in normal times/ have better sources of news than rumor./ They have radio, television, and newspapers./ In times of stress and confusion, however,/ rumor emerges and becomes widespread./ At such times the different kinds of news are in competition:/ the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine.

Rumors are often repeated/ even by those who do not believe the tales./ There is a fascination about them./ The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor/ gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims:/ the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes,/ or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly./ Pessimistic rumors about defeat and disasters show/ that people who repeat them are worried and anxious./ Optimistic rumors about record production or peace soon coming/ point to complacency or confidence/ and often to overconfidence.

II. Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE word you think appropriate.

(1) if (2) no

(3) through (4) with

(5) does (6) that

unit1响尾蛇伤 我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背后。一天，我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西瓜自己吃。他们是不许我拿这把刀的，因为它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。但它是切西瓜的最好工具。一刀下去，西瓜就一分为二了。 我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜，突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。我为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。 转眼一看，却发现是一条响尾蛇。我知道响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的，而我对那响声的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。后来我才明白它是没有时间警告，我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。我边往家飞奔，边大声喊叫，满脑子想的都是自己肯定要死了。妈妈赶快解下围裙用上面的带子绑在我的膝盖上部。她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。最近的住宅是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。再远点的是吉姆·安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。妈妈冲向安德森家。安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔城里，在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。回到家，妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了，因为我直叫系得太紧。妈妈给我重新绑上，她用力很猛以致于我失声叫了起来。 然后，妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望。这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间，一直延伸到小山顶端，因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物。我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆，尤其是爸爸赶车的时候。这时，如果得到允许，汤姆就会因为急于吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来，爸爸也总是允许它这么做的。 赫伯·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸，如果他不在就找麦肯斯医生，再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。 妈妈一边盯着看谁的马先出现，一边不时地进屋安慰我。 终于，妈妈说道：“你爸爸来了。” Read more 误解 这是个古老的故事，的确是要说到1864年的事。那时，英国军队驻扎在牙买加的一个团养了只官兵都喜爱的大猴子。那是只善于思考、极有主见的猴子，他的行为习惯和举止总是令军官们开心不已。他的居所对着军官食堂的窗户，尽管身上系着很长但不重的链子，他照样自得其乐，淘气逗人。比如有一天，他觉得一位年轻军官羞侮了他，便立即把食堂窗户敲得惊天动地。军官们只好把他的居所移到一个不太招眼的地方，但他依旧自娱自乐。任何活生生的东西，只要胆敢闯入他链长所及的范围内，就免不了被折腾得手忙脚乱一阵子。而那些倒霉的鸡鸭，却经常误入他的领地。那就会被他一下子抓住，有时竟被他扼杀，不过更多的时候，他都是恶作剧地对这些痛苦的阶下囚实施全身或半身拔毛手术，然后再放开。 然而，有一只鸡却让他突然强烈地喜欢上了。他是逮住了它，但他即不拔毛也不扼杀，反倒是百般怜惜、抚爱有加。这种毫无顾忌的举动使那只不幸的鸡恐怕是宁受拔毛之刑吧。猴子拧它，揉它，抚摸它，搂抱它，把它举得高高地，令它展翅起舞，又把它放开一会儿，可当它试图逃脱时又顽皮地将它两腿一抓。可那只鸡怎么地都不领情，反倒是完全误解了猴情猴意。但猴子却始终不渝，牢牢地紧握着这个心肝宝贝不放松。他满以为忠贞不渝的柔情蜜意即能赢得芳心归，没想到讨好卖乖了一番却不成功，因而更加大献殷勤：不一样地抚摸，更挚着地摩挲，更卖力地搓揉，还逗得它更欢快地舞蹈。可万分钟情也未能赢得回眸一顾。终于，在猴子极其亲昵的拥抱中，鸡给整死了，至死也未能理解猴的一片赤诚。 猴子处于极度悲伤之中。可想而知，他好不容易发现心爱之鸡，而这心爱之鸡未能回报丝毫之柔情，竟弃他而去！可悲复可怜！他开始着手祭奠的仪式，每一动作都表现出他沉痛

《综合英语教程》第二册课文、扩展阅读课文译文 Unit 1 Text 等候的人们 我坐在一个机场，观察着等候所爱之人到达或离开前最后一刻的人们。他们有的不安地来回走着，有的互相凝视着，有的拉着对方的手。此时的感情是强烈的。 一位讲西班牙语的女士正来回转圈地跑着，想要将全家人集中起来道别。她的嗓门很高。当登机前的最后时刻到来时，她用双臂搂着儿子，似乎这一紧紧的拥抱能保佑他将来平安地归来。 在我候机坐位旁的栏杆边站着一位祖母和她的孙子，该来接他们的人还没到。他们旁边有两位女士，互相之间显然没有关系，但她们的眼光都象扫视着大海的探照灯一样朝通道口仔细地搜索着。一位怀抱婴儿的母亲正与丈夫吻别。泪水打湿了她的面颊。这时刻十分令人动情。 在第13号出口处，抵达者们刚刚进站。“我看见她了，她在那儿。”以同样感人的激情，这些抵达者融入了庞杂的人群，仿佛他们是这人群中失而复得的一个组成部分。泪水、笑容，和由衷的快乐洋溢在久别重逢的欢声笑语中。 我坐着边翻书边等着我的登机时刻，感到有点孤独，因为亲人与我的时间不配；而我要去见的人，我的女儿，却在我旅程的另一端。 我在回想往日的离别和重逢。忆起我看见女儿，就是我现在要去见的女儿，正从那狭窄的通道走过来，肩上背着背包，怀里抱着塞得满满的行囊，带着的耳机让她无暇顾及身旁川流不息的人群。她当时上大学一年级，11月回家度假——8月份以来第一次回家。我紧紧地拥抱着她，似乎我曾失去过她。 今天我乘坐的航班晚点两小时。手里的书今天读起来没劲，不如观看眼前这熙来人往的人群。一个5岁左右的男孩第一次见到他的祖父。他一点点往上看，半天才看到了对成人来说并不算高的一位男人的脸。一高一矮的两人脸上都放出了喜悦的光芒，我不知道人们如何能用语言和胶卷来捕捉这一时刻。 当我的航班终于呼叫登机时，我收起书本和行李。既然无人相送，我就没有回头看看来时的方向，而是在想上班的丈夫此刻极想知道我是否已起飞，在另一端的女儿也正惦记着同一件事。 登机时，我回想起另一种离别和重逢。有一次我新婚不久，91岁的祖父去世了。我们的关系一直很密切，那天傍晚，我参加完他的葬礼乘飞机返回，一边离开机场一边哭着。我们刚刚结婚一年的丈夫等候在出站口，把我拥抱在怀中。满脸的泪水招来了大家对我的关注，但我并不在乎。不管怎么说，我内心的那种感受在机场没有什么不合时宜的。 生命始终都需要这般关注。我祝愿所有旅行的人们归来时都能看到有人在等候迎接他们。我也祝愿他们出发前有人去送行。我想到自己的祖父并认识到，如果死亡就像这样，一次旅行而已，那么，我就不会害怕。 （吕睿中译，胡一宁审校） Read more 重要之事
