在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。2.Thesedayspolitical,socialandcreativeawakeningseemstohappennotbecauseofcollege,butinspiteofit.Ofcourse,it’struethathighereducationisstillimportant.Forexample,intheUK,PrimeMinisterBlairwasclosetoachievinghisaimofgetting50percentofallunderthirtiesintocollegeby2010(eventhoughacynicwouldsaythatthiswastokeepthemofftheunemploymentstatistics).现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50％的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）3.IneverhopedtounderstandthenatureofmygenerationorhowAmericancollegesarechangingbygoingtoLitTheoryclasses.Thisistheclasswhereyoulookcool,abitsleepyfromtoomanylatenightsandwearingaT-shirtwithsomeironiccommentsuchas“Beenthere,donethatandyes,thisIStheT-shirt”.我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学在如何变化。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿，穿着一件T恤衫，上面印着“去过那儿，干过那事儿，对，这就是那件T恤衫”，或诸如此类带有揶揄意味的俏皮话。4We’reagenerationthatcomesfromwhathasbeencalledtheshortcentury(1914–1989),attheendofacenturyofwarandrevolutionwhichchangedcivilizations,overthrewrepressivegovernments,andleftuswithextraordinaryopportunitiesandprivilege,morethananygenerationbefore.我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪（1914－1989），生于其后期。这个世纪充满了战争和革命，它改变了人类文明，推翻了强权政府，给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。1.政府采取的一系列措施不但没有化解矛盾，反倒激起更多的暴力冲突。反对党联合工会发动了一次大罢工，最终导致政府的垮台。(giveriseto;formanalliancewith;launch;bringabout)Insteadofresolvingcontradictions,theseriesofmeasurestakenbythegovernmentgaverisetomoreviolentclashes.TheOppositionformedanalliancewiththetradeunionsandlaunchedageneralstrike,whichultimatelybroughtaboutthedownfallofthegovernment.2.如今，大学与现实世界的距离越来越小，学生也变得越来越实际。从前，大学是一个象牙塔，学者追求的是学问本身而不是把学问作为达到目的的手段，但这样的时代已经一去不复返了。(shrink;gonearethedays;ameanstoanend)Nowadays,thegapbetweentheuniversityandtherealworldisshrinkingandstudentsarebecomingmoreandmorepractical.Gonearethedayswhentheuniversitywasanivorytowerinwhichscholarspursuedknowledgeasanendratherthanameanstoanend.3.我从未指望靠上课来学好这门课。但我确实去听课，因为在课上我能了解这门课的重点，学会如何组织材料、如何推理。(hope;theplacewhere)Ineverhopedtolearnthesubjectwellbyattendingthoselectures.ButIdidgotolectures,foritwastheplacewhereIcouldgettheimportantpointsofthecourseandlearnhowtoorganizematerialsandhowtoreason.4我一直想方设法解决这个难题，但就是找不到满意的答案。可是当我去厨房喝饮料的时候，我突然间灵机一动，意识到解决问题的方法实际上可能很简单。(workout;click)AlthoughIhavebeentryingeverymeanstosolvetheproblem,Icannotworkoutasatisfactorysolution.ButwhenIwenttothekitchentogetadrink,somethingclickedandmademerealizethatthesolutionmightbequitesimple.U21.Suchmotormimicry,asitiscalled,istheoriginaltechnicalsenseofthewordempathyasitwasfirstusedinthe1920sbyE.B.Titchener,anAmericanpsychologist.Titchener’stheorywasthatempathystemmedfromasortofphysicalimitationofthedistressofanother,whichthenevokesthesamefeelingsinoneself.这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义，而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是：同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。2Hesoughtawordthatwouldbedistinctfromsympathy,whichcanbefeltforthegeneralplightofanotherwithnosharingwhateverofwhatthatotherpersonisfeeling.Motormimicryfadesfromtoddlers’repertoireataroundtwoandahalfyears,atwhichpointtheyrealizethatsomeoneelse’spainisdifferentfromtheirown,andarebetterabletocomfortthem.他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的，无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。3Ialsolovethesplit-secondshockedexpressiononthenewpeople,thehastysmilesandtheirbestimitationsofwhattheythinkofastheir“normalfaces”.IftheydotheritualwellenoughIturnmyheadeversoslightlyandtuckmyhairbehindoneofmyears,whicheverone’sclosertothem.我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好，我就会微微转过头，把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面4“Imostlyjustreadlipsbecauseitwaseasiertopickupthansigning,althoughthat’snottheonlyreasonIwasstaringatyourlips,”Itoldhim.Helaughed.Wetalkedmore,andthenthehostuppedthemusicvolumeanddimmedthelightsforthe“dancefloor”,andIhadtoleaninmuch,muchclosertobeabletocontinuereadinghislipsinthesemi-darkness.AndreadhislipsIdid.我告诉他说：“我基本上只读唇语，因为这比用手语更容易，但这不是我一直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来，主人放大音乐的音量，调暗“舞池”的灯光；我不得不凑近他，近得多得多，以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。我的确读到了他的唇语。1一看见抽屉里的那些老照片，我的眼泪就涌了出来。它们让我想起了我跟爷爷奶奶、爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹一起生活的美好时光。(themoment;wellup)ThemomentIsawthoseoldphotosinthedrawer,tearswelledupinmyeyes,formymemorywentbacktothedayswhenIlivedhappilywithmygrandparents,myparentsandmybrothersandsisters.2有个学生踩到地上的一滩水滑倒了。周围的人反应各异，有的关心地走上前去看他是否受伤了、能为他做点什么；有的则站在一边不知所措；有的干脆就不理。(divergefrom;approach;confuseover;tuneout)Whenastudentslippedonapoolofwaterandfellover,people’sreactiondivergedfromoneanother.Someapproachedcaringlytoseeifhewashurtandiftheycouldhelp;somejuststoodthereconfusingoverwhattodoaboutit;whileothersjusttunedout.3上星期六上午，我像往常一样去超市购物。我刚要打开车门，却发现没带钱包。我只好回家去找,可是哪儿也找不到。(dotheusual;donothingbut;failtodo)LastSaturdaymorning,Ididtheusualandwentshoppinginthesupermarket.WhenIwasabouttoopenthedoorofmycar,IfoundthatIdidnothavemywalletonme.Icoulddonothingbutgobackhomeinsearchofit,but

1这个消息来得如此突然、如此令人震惊，我在沙发上呆呆地坐了几分钟。我的第一本能反应就是赶紧打电话把这件事告诉领导，看看我们能为那些在这起交通事故中死伤的同事做些什么。(so...that;firstinstinct)Sosudden,sostrikingwasthenewsthatIsatmotionlessonsofaforafewminutes.Myfirstinstinctwastocallourleaderstotellthemwhathadhappenedandseewhatwecoulddoforthosecolleagueswhodiedorgotinjuredinthistrafficaccident.2纸版的儿童图书与电子书相比有很大的优势。对孩子们来说，一本印刷精美的纸版书不仅是一本书也是一个玩具。读纸版书的感觉与在屏幕上读书的感觉是很不同的。(haveadvantageover;bedifferentfrom)Paperbooksforchildrenhaveanenormousadvantageovere-books.Forchildren,abeautifullyprintedpaperbookisnotonlyabookbutalsoatoytheycanplaywith.Readingapaperbookisratherdifferentfromreadingabookonthescreen.3近年来，传统媒体呈现出衰退的趋势，新媒体迅速发展。尽管如此，这并不一定意味着传统媒体已失去市场。若谈到阅读新闻之类，人们还是习惯于像报纸这样的传统媒体。(Inthetendencyof;notnecessarily;whenitcomesto...)Inrecentyears,traditionalmediaareinthetendencyofdeclineandnewmediaaredevelopingrapidly.However,thisdoesnotnecessarilymeanthattraditionalmediahavelostthemarket.Whenitcomestoreadingthingslikenews,peoplearestillusedtosuchtraditionalmediaasnewspaper.4随着金融危机的爆发，许多企业陷入了困境。对于那些因缺乏流动资金无法进行再生产又不想让恶性循环继续下去的企业，他们唯一能做的事情就是向政府求助。(findoneselfindifficulty;turnto)Withtheexplosionofthefinancialcrisis,manyenterprisesfindthemselvesindifficulties.Forthosewhohavenocirculatingfundtoinvestinnewproductionandwouldnotlettheviciouscirclecontinue,theonlythingtheycandoistoturntogovernmentforhelp.U51Itwasahorriblejoke,butDocDaneekadidn’tlaughuntilYossariancametohimonemissionlaterandpleadedagain,withoutanyrealexpectationofsuccess,tobegrounded.DocDaneekasnickeredonceandwassoonimmersedinproblemsofhisown,whichincludedChiefWhiteHalfoat,whohadbeenchallenginghimallthatmorningtoIndianwrestle,andYossarian,whodecidedrightthenandtheretogocrazy.那是个粗鲁的玩笑，可是达尼卡大夫并没有笑，直到约萨安又执行了一次任务之后，再次来求他要求停飞——尽管这没有任何指望。达尼卡大夫窃笑了一下，很快又沉浸到他自己的麻烦中去了，这包括怀特·哈夫特指挥官那天早上一直在向他挑战，要和他比印度式摔跤，而约萨里安则恰恰在彼时彼地决定要发疯。2There was only one catch and that was catch-22,whichspecified that a concern for one’s own safetyin thefaceofdangersthatwererealandimmediatewastheprocessofarationalmind.Orrwascrazyandcouldbegrounded.Allhehadtodowasask;andassoonashedid,hewouldnolongerbecrazyandwouldhavetoflymore missions. 只有一个诡局，那就是第二十二条军规，它规定：在面对真正的紧迫的危险时考虑到自身安全是理智的思维过程。奥尔疯了，因此可以停飞。他只须提出请求；而一旦他提出请求，他就不再是疯子，就得去执行更多的飞行任务。3OurmanyJewishfriendsandacquaintancesarebeingtakenawayindroves.TheGestapoistreatingthemveryroughlyandtransportingthemincattlecarstoWesterbork,thebigcampinDrenthetowhichthey’resendingalltheJews...Ifit’sthatbadinHolland,whatmustitbelikeinthosefarawayanduncivilizedplaceswheretheGermansaresendingthem?我们的许多犹太人朋友和熟人都被成群地带走了。盖世太保对他们非常粗暴，用运牲口的拖车把他们运送到德伦特最大的集中营威斯特伯克，他们把所有犹太人都遣送到里。……如果说在荷兰都这么糟，那么在德国人送他们去的那些遥远的蛮荒之地又会是什么样呢？4Thevoicethatcomesacrossisofasolitaryyounggirlwritingforherself,yetatthesametimeitisthecryofallthoseinnocentvictimsofevilwhosefatewastosufferintheSecondWorldWar.ThatiswhyAnneFrank’sdiaryhasachievedfameasthevoiceoftheHolocaustinwhichsixmillionJewsweremurdered:Shespeaksforallofhumanity.它传来的是一个孤独少女的声音，她为自己写作，但同时也是所有无辜受邪恶迫害者的呐喊，他们的命运就是在第二次世界大战期间受难。这就是安妮·弗兰克的日记被誉为犹太人大屠杀（其间有六百万犹太人被杀害）之声的原因：她的话代表了全人类的心声。1虽然遇到很多困难，但在他的带领下，公司产品打开了销路，总体形式也有了好转。为了表彰他的突出贡献，公司决定奖励他一套住房。(comeacross;forthebetter;inrecognitionof)Thoughtheycameacrossmanydifficulties,underhisleadershiptheysuccessfullyfoundamarketfortheirproducts,andtheoverallsituationwaschangingforthebetter.Inrecognitionofhisoutstandingcontributions,thecompanydecidedtogivehimaflatasanaward.2当约翰向他挑战，要跟他比击剑的时候，他感到非常尴尬，因为他自知剑术不高，不是约翰的对手。如果他接受挑战，他肯定会输；可如果不接受呢，他就是个懦夫。(challenge...to)WhenJohnchallengedhimtofencing,hewasveryembarrassedbecauseheknewthathewasnomatchforJohnatit.Ifhetookthechallenge,hewouldsurelylose;butifhedidn’t,hewouldbeacoward.3他昨天感冒了。我们本以为他好好睡一晚就会好起来，所以今天早上就送他去上学了。但是下午放学回家时他发起烧来，不得不卧床休息。(assume;confine
