Part C3Text A: The Land of the Lock4Years ago in America, it was customary for families to leave their doors unlocked, day and night. In this essay, Greene regrets that people can no longer trust each other and have to resort to

2、elaborate security systems to protect themselves and their valuables. Although the author is writing his opinion, he uses many examples to reinforce his ideas and to prove his thesis. 5几年前在美国，许多美国家庭的门通常都是日夜不上锁的。在本文中，格林遗憾地指出人们已经不再彼此信任，不得不求助于各种复杂的安全设备来保护自身及其财产。作者在提出自己观点的同时，举出了大量的例子来验证和强调自己的观点。61 In th

3、e house where I grew up, . I dont know if that was a local term or if it is universal; on the latch meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.71在我长大成人的家里，我们的习惯是晚上把前门闩上。我不知道这是个地方词汇还是广泛的说法；“闩着门”的意思是关着门但却不上锁。我们都不带钥

4、匙；晚上最后进来的人会把门关上，如此而已。82 Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.92那样的日子已经一去不复返了。现在不管是城市还是乡村，门不再是不上锁了，甚至天一黑门就要上锁。103 Suburbs and country areas are, in many ways, even more vulnerable than well-patrolled urban streets. Statistic

5、s show the crime rate rising more dramatically in those allegedly tranquil areas than in cities. At any rate, the era of leaving the front door on the latch is over.113郊区及乡村地区在很多方面比巡视得很严密的城市还要容易出事。统计数字表明在那些据称是平静的地区，犯罪率的上升较之城市还要显著。不管怎么说，晚上闩着前门的日子已经结束了。124 It has been replaced by locks, security chain

6、s, 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.134门闩已经被锁、安全链、电子报警系统以及与警察局或私人保镖公司相连的报警线所取代、许多郊区家庭在庭院里都装有滑动的玻璃门，很别致地装有暗藏

7、的钢筋这样就没人能撬开门了。145 It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows decals announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.15 5在很多擦亮的家里，经常能见到窗户上张贴着布告显示本宅受某保安部队或某保安公司的监护。166 The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a

8、 recent public-service, advertisement by a large insurance company featured not actuarial, charts but a picture of a childs bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.176锁是美国的新的象征。确实，最新的一宗保险公司的公益广告显示的不是数据表格而是一幅画，画面上一个孩子的白行车上挂着一把现在常见的挂锁。187 The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance com

9、panies 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?197诚然，广告显示的是保险公司会为你失窃的东西负责，但是又有谁会补偿这种不信

10、任和恐惧的气氛给我们生活方式带来的改变呢?谁来补偿美国由自由大陆转变为上锁的大陆所造成的心理损失呢？208 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.218情况就是这样。我们已经非常习惯于保护自己不受美国生活新气氛的影

11、响，习惯于围起屏障，却没有时间去考虑这一切意味着什么。229 For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to barricade ourselves against neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our liv

12、es? 239出于某种原因，我们都满足于受到良好的保护；却从没想过问问自己为什么会这样?为什么一定要在我们自己与邻居和同胞之间设立屏障呢?而且，究竟是什么时候这一现象开始主宰我们的生活呢?2410 And it has taken over. If you work for a medium to large-size company, chances are that you dont just wander in and out of work. You probably carry some kind of access card, electronic or otherwise, th

13、at allows you in and out of your place of work. Maybe the security guard at the front desk knows your face and will wave you in most days, but the fact remains that the business you work for feels threatened enough to keep outsiders away via these keys 2510我们的生活已经受到控制了。如果你在一家大中型公司工作，你很合可能不能随使出入公司。你可

14、能要携带某种电子或非电子的出入卡，才能进出工作单位。也许前合的保安认识你，平时挥挥手就让你进去了，但是事实仍然是你所供职的单位觉得受到了威胁，要通过这样一些“钥匙”挡住外来者。2611 It wasnt always like this. Even a decade ago, most private businesses had a policy of free access. It simply didnt occur to managers that the proper thing to do was to distrust people. 2711情况不总是这样的。就在10年前，大多

15、数私人企业都是允许自由出入的。经理们从没想过不相信别人是正常的。2812 Look at the airports. Parents used to take children out to departure gates to watch planes land and take off. Thats all gone. Airports are no longer a place of education and fun; they are the most sophisticated of security encampments.2912看看机场吧。过去父母经常带着孩子们到出站口去看飞

16、机降落和起飞。这样的日子已经一去不复返了。机场不再是教育和娱乐的地方，而是高精尖的安全营地。3013 With electronic X-ray equipment, we seem finally to have figured out a way to hold the terrorists, real and imagined, at bay; it was such a relief to solve this problem that we did not think much about what such a state of affairs says about the qua

17、lity of our lives. We now pass through these electronic friskers without so much as a sideways glance; the machines, and what they stand for, have won. 3113通过x光设备，我们似乎最终找到了遏制真正的和想份中的恐怖分子的办法；解决这样的问题使我们松了一口气，以至于我们不去考虑这种情况对我们的生活质量意味着什么。我们现在目不斜视地通过电子检测仪；机器以及他们所代表的东西取得了胜利。3214 Businessmen, in increasing

18、numbers are purchasing new machines that hook up to the telephone and analyze a callers voice. The machines are supposed to tell the businessman, with a small margin of error, whether his friend or client is telling lies. All this is being done in the name of security; that is what we tell ourselves

19、. We are fearful, and so, we devise ways to lock the fear out, and that, we decide, is what security means.3314越来越多的商人都在购买一种新型机器，与电话机连在一起就能分析出打电话音的声音。人们认为这种设备能在很小的误差范围内，判断出他的朋友或客户是否在撒谎。所有这一切都是在“安全”的名义下完成的；我们对自己也是这么说的。我们恐惧，因此我们想出办法把恐惧档在外面，而我们认为，这就是安全。3415 But no, with all this security, we are perhap

20、s the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What better indictment of all that become in this new and puzzling time?3515恰恰相反。尽管有了所有这种“安全”，我们也许是人类文明史上最不安全的国度，有什么更好的词来形容我们被迫所采取的生活方式呢?有什么好办法对我们在这新潮而又令人迷悯的时代中的遭遇进行

21、控诉呢?3616 We trust no one. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but in so doing we have locked ourselves in. 3716我们不相信任何人。我们已经如此精于自我保护，以至于最终聪明反被聪明误。我们也许把邪恶锁在了外面，但与此同时，我们也把自己锁在了里面。3817 That may be the legacy we r

22、emember best when we look back on this age: In dealing with the unseen horrors among us, we became prisoners of ourselves. All of us prisoners, in this time of our troubles.3917也许当我们回首这个年代时，我们所能记得最清楚的印象就是；在对付这种存在于我们之间的无形的恐怖时，我们成了自己的囚徒。我们所有的人，都成了这个多事之秋的囚徒。401. resortvi.1. 诉诸,凭借,求助(+to) It was after t

42、因参与改革被贬，于庆历六年写下岳阳楼记，寄托自己“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的政治理想。实际上，这次改革，受到贬谪的除了范仲淹和滕子京之外，还有范仲淹改革的另一位支持者北宋大文学家、史学家欧阳修。他于庆历五年被贬谪到滁州，也就是今天的安徽省滁州市。也是在此期间，欧阳修在滁州留下了不逊于岳阳楼记的千古名篇醉翁亭记。接下来就让我们一起来学习这篇课文吧！【教学提示】结合前文教学，有利于学生把握本文写作背景，进而加深学生对作品含义的理解。二、教学新课目标导学一：认识作者，了解作品背景作者简介：欧阳修(10071072)，字永叔，自号醉翁，晚年又号“六一居士”。吉州永丰(今属江西)人，因吉州原属庐

43、陵郡，因此他又以“庐陵欧阳修”自居。谥号文忠，世称欧阳文忠公。北宋政治家、文学家、史学家，与韩愈、柳宗元、王安石、苏洵、苏轼、苏辙、曾巩合称“唐宋八大家”。后人又将其与韩愈、柳宗元和苏轼合称“千古文章四大家”。关于“醉翁”与“六一居士”：初谪滁山，自号醉翁。既老而衰且病，将退休于颍水之上，则又更号六一居士。客有问曰：“六一何谓也？”居士曰：“吾家藏书一万卷，集录三代以来金石遗文一千卷，有琴一张，有棋一局，而常置酒一壶。”客曰：“是为五一尔，奈何？”居士曰：“以吾一翁，老于此五物之间，岂不为六一乎？”写作背景：宋仁宗庆历五年(1045年)，参知政事范仲淹等人遭谗离职，欧阳修上书替他们分辩，被贬到

44、滁州做了两年知州。到任以后，他内心抑郁，但还能发挥“宽简而不扰”的作风，取得了某些政绩。醉翁亭记就是在这个时期写就的。目标导学二：朗读文章，通文顺字1初读文章，结合工具书梳理文章字词。2朗读文章，划分文章节奏，标出节奏划分有疑难的语句。节奏划分示例环滁/皆山也。其/西南诸峰，林壑/尤美，望之/蔚然而深秀者，琅琊也。山行/六七里，渐闻/水声潺潺，而泻出于/两峰之间者，酿泉也。峰回/路转，有亭/翼然临于泉上者，醉翁亭也。作亭者/谁？山之僧/曰/智仙也。名之者/谁？太守/自谓也。太守与客来饮/于此，饮少/辄醉，而/年又最高，故/自号曰/醉翁也。醉翁之意/不在酒，在乎/山水之间也。山水之乐，得之心/而

45、寓之酒也。节奏划分思考“山行/六七里”为什么不能划分为“山/行六七里”？明确：“山行”意指“沿着山路走”，“山行”是个状中短语，不能将其割裂。“望之/蔚然而深秀者”为什么不能划分为“望之蔚然/而深秀者”？明确：“蔚然而深秀”是两个并列的词，不宜割裂，“望之”是总起词语，故应从其后断句。【教学提示】引导学生在反复朗读的过程中划分朗读节奏，在划分节奏的过程中感知文意。对于部分结构复杂的句子，教师可做适当的讲解引导。目标导学三：结合注释，翻译训练1学生结合课下注释和工具书自行疏通文义，并画出不解之处。【教学提示】节奏划分与明确文意相辅相成，若能以节奏划分引导学生明确文意最好；若学生理解有限，亦可在解

46、读文意后把握节奏划分。2以四人小组为单位，组内互助解疑，并尝试用“直译”与“意译”两种方法译读文章。3教师选择疑难句或值得翻译的句子，请学生用两种翻译方法进行翻译。翻译示例：若夫日出而林霏开，云归而岩穴暝，晦明变化者，山间之朝暮也。野芳发而幽香，佳木秀而繁阴，风霜高洁，水落而石出者，山间之四时也。直译法：那太阳一出来，树林里的雾气散开，云雾聚拢，山谷就显得昏暗了，朝则自暗而明，暮则自明而暗，或暗或明，变化不一，这是山间早晚的景色。野花开放，有一股清幽的香味，好的树木枝叶繁茂，形成浓郁的绿荫。天高气爽，霜色洁白，泉水浅了，石底露出水面，这是山中四季的景色。意译法：太阳升起，山林里雾气开始消散，烟

47、云聚拢，山谷又开始显得昏暗，清晨自暗而明，薄暮又自明而暗，如此暗明变化的，就是山中的朝暮。春天野花绽开并散发出阵阵幽香，夏日佳树繁茂并形成一片浓荫，秋天风高气爽，霜色洁白，冬日水枯而石底上露，如此，就是山中的四季。【教学提示】翻译有直译与意译两种方式，直译锻炼学生用语的准确性，但可能会降低译文的美感；意译可加强译文的美感，培养学生的翻译兴趣，但可能会降低译文的准确性。因此，需两种翻译方式都做必要引导。全文直译内容见我的积累本。目标导学四：解读文段，把握文本内容1赏析第一段，说说本文是如何引出“醉翁亭”的位置的，作者在此运用了怎样的艺术手法。明确：首先以“环滁皆山也”五字领起，将滁州的地理环境一笔勾出，点出醉翁亭坐落在群山之中，并纵观滁州全貌，鸟瞰群山环抱之景。接着作者将“镜头”全景移向局部，先写“西南诸峰，林壑尤美”，醉翁亭坐落在有最美的林壑的西南诸峰之中，视野集中到最佳处。再写琅琊山“蔚然而深秀”，点山“秀”，照应上文的“美”。又写酿泉，其名字透出了泉与酒的关系，好泉酿好酒，好酒叫人醉。“醉
