It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we dont entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. 我想,不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。这种生活需要一些特殊的素质。其一是耐得住寂寞。由于我们如此忙碌,手头又紧,我们很少请客。在作物生长季节,根本就没工夫参加社交活动。吉米和埃米莉虽然参加学校的各种活动,但他俩大多数时间也呆在家里。 13 The other requirement is energy - a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. 另一项要求是体力相当大的体力。小范围里实现自给自足的途径是抵制诱惑,不去购置拖拉机和其他昂贵的节省劳力的机械。相反,你要自己动手。我们仅有的机器(不包括割草机)是一台3马力的小型旋转式耕耘机以及一架16英寸的链锯。 14 How much longer well have enough energy to stay on here is anybodys guess - perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, well leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what weve been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. Weve invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again. 没人知道我们还能有精力在这里再呆多久-也许呆很长一阵子,也许不是。到走的时候,我们会怆然离去,但也会为自己所做的一切深感自豪。我们把农场出售也会赚相当大一笔钱。我们自己在农场投入了约35,000美金的资金,要是现在售出的话价格差不多可以翻一倍。不过现在不是出售的好时机。但是一旦经济形势好转,对我们这种农场的需求又会增多。 15 We didnt move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know weve found just what we were looking for. 但我们主要不是为了赚钱而移居至此的。我们来此居住是因为想提高生活质量。当我看着埃米莉傍晚去收鸡蛋,跟吉米一起在河上钓鱼,或和全家人一起在果园里享用老式的野餐,我知道,我们找到了自己一直在寻求的生活方式。 unit 2 The Freedom Givers一单词背诵slender 苗条的;细长的settlement 新拓居地;confident 有信心的;确信的give up 放弃creator 造物主,上帝devotion 深爱的,挚爱cabin 小棚屋ironically 具有讽刺意味的是symbolize 象征,标志racial 种族的sellout 背叛者;背叛unwilling 不愿意的;勉强的stand up (for) 支持historic 历史上有名或有重要意义的site 地方,位置,遗址slavery 受奴役的状态;奴隶制mission 特殊使命,任务courageous 勇敢的,无畏的forge 建立,伪造forge a signature 伪造签名underground 秘密的;地下的web 网状物;网状组织liberate 解放authorize 批准,委托civil-rights 民权的civil 公民的exploit 功绩,业绩unsung 未赞颂过的intent 坚决的be intent on(sth./doing sth) 热中于,坚决要做pistol 手枪decade 十年foundry 铸造车间,铸造厂on the side 作为兼职;秘密地capture 抓捕;捕获chilly 冷的,寒飕飕的fugitive 逃亡者watchman 看守人;警卫员helplessly 无能为力地pursuer 追赶者;追捕者close in (on/around) 接近;包围hurriedly 仓促地wagon 四轮运货马车painful 疼痛的religious 宗教的conviction 坚定的看法或信仰Quaker 公谊会教徒Bible 圣经clothe 给衣服naked 裸体的,赤条条的converge 会合;集中terminal 终点,终端机magistrate 地方行政长官;执法官impose 把强加于jail 监狱imprison (vt) 关押;监禁stripe 鞭打;抽打as for 至于cake 覆盖powder 粉;粉末bonnet 女帽veil 面纱transport 运输runaway 逃跑的(人)、disguise 伪装,假扮funeral 葬礼;丧失procession 行列;队伍abolish 废除virgin 未开发的harshly 严厉地,苛刻 的diligently 勤奋地compel 强迫,强求plantation 种植园salvation 拯救;pass for 被当作二词组翻译3 句子翻译四段落背诵4 Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom. 但此地只是我所承担的繁重使命的一处停留地。乔赛亚亨森只是一长串无所畏惧的男女名单中的一个名字,这些人共同创建了这条“地下铁路”,一条由逃亡线路和可靠的人家组成的用以解放美国南方黑奴的秘密网络。在1820年至1860年期间,多达十万名黑奴经由此路走向自由。 5 In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And its about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories. 2000年10月,克林顿总统批准拨款1600万美元建造全国“地下铁路”自由中心,以此纪念美国历史上第一次伟大的民权斗争。中心计划于2004年在辛辛那提州建成。真是该建立这样一个中心的时候了。因为地下铁路的英雄们依然默默无闻,他们的业绩依然少人颂扬。我要讲述他们的故事。 Unit 3 The Land of the Lock一单词背诵latch 门闩on the latch 门关着但没有上锁close up 关闭rural 农村vulnerable 易受攻击的;无防御的well-patroled 巡查严密的urban 城市的statistics 统计;统计资料dramatically (vd)显著地;戏剧性地allegedly (vd)据称tranquil 宁静的era 纪元dead-bolt 防盗门electronic 电子的hook up to 连接到patio 露台,平台elegantly 优雅地,高雅地build in 使成为建筑物的一部分pry 撬开,撬动premise (n)房屋,假设,前提surveillance (n)监视feature 给以显著地位,突出;由主演padlock 挂锁;扣锁psychic 精神的;心灵的;心理的transformation (n)改变,转变put up 建造,设置barrier (n)障碍barricade (vt)在设置路障wander (vi)漫游,闲逛,徘徊X-ray terrorist 恐怖分子terror (n)恐怖hold/keep sb. at bay 不让逼近frisker 搜身器without/with not so much as 甚至连都没sideways 斜着(的),斜向一边(的)stand for 代表be bathed in 沉浸于analyze 分析with/by a small/large margin 小/大幅度地error 错误insecure 不安全的secure 安全的,可靠的civilize 开化,使文明reflection 有损声誉的事,思考;反映puzzling 令人困惑的housewife 家庭主妇rape 强奸whistle 哨子self-protection 自我保护outsmart (vt)比精明;智胜outsmart oneself 聪明反被聪明误evil (n)邪恶legacy (n)遗产look back on 回顾2 词组翻译3 句子翻译四段落背诵4 It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open. 取而代之的是防盗锁、防护链、电子报警系统,以及连接警署或私人保安公司的报警装置。郊区的许多人家在露台上安装了玻璃滑门,内侧有装得很讲究的钢条,这样就没人能把门撬开。 5 It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company. 在最温馨的居家,也常常看得到窗上贴着小小的告示,称本宅由某家安全机构或某个保安公司负责监管。 6 The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a childs bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it. 锁成了美国的新的象征。的确,一家大保险公司最近的一则公益广告没有用图表表明我们所处的危险有多大,而是用了一幅童车的图片,车身上悬着如今无所不在的挂锁。 7 The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock? 广告指出,没错,确是保险公司理赔失窃物品,但谁来赔偿互不信任、担心害怕这种新氛围对我们的生活方式所造成的影响呢?谁来对美国从自由之国到锁之国这一蜕变作出精神赔偿呢? 8 For that is what has happened. We have become so used to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life, so used to putting up barriers, that we have not had time to think about what it may mean. 因为那就是现状。我们已经变得如此习惯于保护自己不受美国生活新氛围的影响,如此习惯于设置障碍,因而无暇考虑这一切意味着什么。Unit 4 Was Einstein a Space Alien?一单词背诵watery 潮湿的extraterrestrial 外星人;pessimist 悲观主义者pessimistic 悲观的crisscross 交叉往返于on account of 由于sheriff 行政司法长官;县治安官deputy 副职;副手work up 准备;整理ranch 大农场pension 退职金;养老金;disable 使残废veteran 退伍军人;富有经验的complicated 复杂的;难解的;taxman 税务员approachable 平易近人的;亲切的saucer 碟状物;飞碟;茶碟knock off 下班hit the sack 睡觉curse 诅咒;咒骂go over 核对;研究column 列;栏;专栏;柱rocket 火箭bug 张大;使突出;虫子;故障complexion 面色;肤色apiece 每人observation 观察,观测locality 地点;位置isolate 使隔离;使孤立adopt 采用;收养mode 方式;模式;appearance 外貌go for 喜欢blink 闪烁regardless of 不顾nationality 国籍;民族at sbs servicearrangement 安排organization 组织;机构;团体supreme 最高的;极度的come around 拜访hell 见鬼;该死;地狱;苦境leave alone 不打扰;听其自然garbage 废话;垃圾;heave 举起;升起wit 智力;才智make like 假装;装扮作knock down 撞倒;拆毁catch sight of 一眼看见;瞥见shiny 有光泽的;闪耀的,fade out 逐渐消失Venusian 金星人dope 笨蛋2 词组翻译 3 句子翻译四段落背诵19 Einsteins parents sometimes took Albert to parties. No babysitter was required: Albert sat on the couch, totally absorbed, quietly doing math problems while others danced around him. Pencil and paper were Alberts GameBoy! 爱因斯坦的父母有时会带艾伯特参加聚会。保姆是不必要的,当其他人在他周围跳舞时艾伯特坐在沙发上,全神贯注,静静地做数学题而。笔和纸是艾伯特的玩具!20 He had impressive powers of concentration. Einsteins sister, Maja, recalled .even when there was a lot of noise, he could lie down on the sofa, pick up a pen and paper, precariously balance an inkwell on the backrest and engross himself in a problem so much that the background noise stimulated rather than disturbed him. 他有令人印象深刻的专注力。爱因斯坦的妹妹,玛雅,回忆说,“即使有很大的噪音,他会躺在沙发上,拿起纸和笔,悠悠地平衡一个放在靠背墨水瓶使他自己全神贯注的沉浸在问题中就如同背景噪声促进而不是打扰他。”21 Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishly more so than his peers. I have no special talents, he claimed, I am only passionately curious. And again: The contrast between the popular assessment of my powers . and the reality is simply grotesque. Einstein credited his discoveries to imagination and pesky questioning more so than orthodox intelligence. 爱因斯坦很聪明,但没有比他的同行更特殊的地方。“我没有特殊的才能.”他说:“我只是有强烈的好奇心。”又说:“关于我力量的流行评估和现实的对比真是荒唐。”爱因斯坦将他的发现归功于想象力和无止境的提问而不是传统的智慧。Unit 5 Writing Three Thank-You Letters一单词背诵coastguardsman 海岸警卫员under way 航行中;工作中carton 硬纸盒,纸板箱bomb 炸弹pad 用软的材料衬垫rack 炮弹架ashore 在岸上traditional 传统的turkey 火鸡put away 放好sundown 日落时分afterdeck 后甲板draught 气流get to sth./doing sth. 开始认真思考,做cob 玉米;穗轴and the rest 等等quest 寻求in quest of 寻求reverse 反转verbal 口头的;动词turn over 考虑;思考brighten 变亮repay 偿还sincere 诚挚的lastingly 长久地gratitude 感激statement 陈述heartfelt 衷心的;appreciation 感谢agricultural 农业的;农艺的mechanical 机械的;机械学的hometown 故乡;at sea 在海上航行specific 明确的;behalf 利益on sb.s behalfon behalf of sb. 为了的利益;代表(某人)instance 实例uppermost 最高的impress 使重视boyhood 少年时代quiz 测验diminish 变小;减少expose 暴露be exposed to 暴露于;与接触immerse 使沉浸在be immersed in 沉浸在awareness 察觉marvelous 不可思议的;美妙的prayer 祈祷assemble 集合;装配considerate 体贴的sprinkle 洒stardust 梦幻unload 将货物卸下cargo 货物reload 再装recede 退去;变得模糊rendezvous 会合accord 使符合topmost 最高的loudspeaker 喇叭rasp 发出;锉,刮hundred-odd 一百多个odd 稍多于;单数的shipmate 同船水手;deck 甲板cluster 群;簇seaman 海员,水手bulge 鼓胀fistful 一把bark 吠叫successive 连续的;in turn 挨个地;amid 在当中humble 使谦卑;undergo 经过;swift 迅疾的即时的reassurance 放心;确信appreciate 赏识;重视bring back 回想起in a flash 一瞬间weep 流泪;diaper 尿布;being 生命;人go about 表现;忙于;着手in secret 秘密地;quote 引用;引述mightily 在很大程度上;非常paramout 最主要的;stationery 信纸信封;文具2 词组翻译3 句子翻译四段落背诵21 Always the college professor, my dad had carefully avoided anything he considered too sentimental, so I knew how moved he was to write me that, after having helped educate many young people, he now felt that his best results included his own son. 身为大学教授的爸爸向来特别留意不使用任何过于感情化的文字,因此, 当他对我写道,在教了许许多多的年轻人之后,他认为自己最优秀的学生当中也包括自己的儿子时,我知道他是多么地感动。 22 The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a simple, old-fashioned principal had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right, he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated. 纳尔逊牧师写道,他那平凡的传统校长的岁月随着学校里发生的如此迅猛的变化而结束,他怀着自我怀疑的心态退了休。“说我做得不对的远远多于说我做得对的,” 他写道,接着说我的信给他带来了振奋人心的信心:自己的校长生涯还是有其价值的。 23 A glance at Grandmas familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her settin down some letter to relatives. Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandmas recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me - whom she used to diaper! 一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹,我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。外祖母一个字母一个字母地慢慢拼出一个词,接着是下一个词,因此写满一页要花上几个小时。捧着外祖母最近花费不少工夫对我表达了充满慈爱的谢意,我禁不住流泪从前是她给我换尿布的呀。 unit 6 The Last Leaf一单词背诵brink 砖studio 画室;照相室;工作室chicory 菊苣salad 生菜;色拉bishop 主教sleeve 衣袖bishop sleeve 灯笼袖in tune 和谐的joint 共同的;共有的pneumonia 肺炎stalk 潜行;偷偷接近here and there 各处icy 极冷的victim 牺牲者;受害的人scarcely 几乎没有;几乎不scarce 不充足的;难得的hallway 门厅;过道bushy 密生的;丛生的eyebrow 眉毛bosh 胡说;无意义的话carriage 载人的马车subtract 减去;扣除curative 能治病的merry 愉快的bedclothes 床上用品backward 倒着bare 裸露的dreary 沉闷的;阴沉的ivy 常春藤vine 藤in a whisper 低声地nonsense 废话turn loose 放手;放纵miner 矿工painter 画家beard 胡须look the part 看上去很像gin 杜松子酒to excess 过度masterpiece 杰作;代表作fragile 易碎的;虚弱的for the rest 至于其它fierce 凶猛的;愤怒的mock 嘲弄;取笑softness 软弱;意志不坚定dimly 暗淡地,模糊不清的canvas 画布easel 画架fancy 幻想;胡思乱想stream 流hear of 听说persistent 持续的;一再发生的mingle 混合upturned 翻转的;倒着放的kettle 烧水用的壶pull up 拉起wearily 疲倦地;劳累地lo 看,瞧stand out 显著wear away 流逝;磨损twilight 暮色;黄昏lone 孤独的cling 抓紧cling to 紧紧抓住merciless 无慈悲心的call to 呼唤gas 煤气stove 火炉sin 罪孽;罪过hand-mirror 带手柄的小镜子pillow 枕头sit up 坐起来acute 急性的;严重的be wet through 湿透的lantern 灯笼palette 调色板flutter 飘动,晃动2 词组翻译3 句子翻译四段落背诵18 Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a failure in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin
