I

was

about

to

make

my

little

bow

of

assent,

when

the

meaning

of

these

last

words

sank

in,

jolting

me

out

of

my

sad

reverie.

I

was

on

the

point

2.

The

very

act

of

stepping

on

this

soil,

in

breathing

this

air

of

Hiroshima,

was

for

me

a

far

greater

adventure

than

any

trip

or

any

reportorial

assignment

I'd

previously

taken.

Was

I

not

at

the

scene

of

the

crime?

踏上这块土地,呼吸着广岛的空气,对我来说这行动本身已是一套令人激动的经历,其意义远远超过我以往所进行的任何一次旅行或采访活动。难道我不就是在犯罪现场吗?

to

the

sharp

twists

of

the

wheel.

这座曾惨遭劫难的城市的一座座高楼大厦从我们身边飞掠而过,而我的身子也随着司机手中方向盘的一次次急转而前俯后仰,东倒西歪。

4.

Quite

unexpectedly,

the

strange

emotion

which

had

overwhelmed

me

at

the

station

returned,

and

I

was

again

crushed

by

the

thought

that

I

now

stood

on

the

site

of

the

firstatomic

bombardment,

where

thousands

upon

thousands

of

people

had

been

slain

in

one

second,

where

thousands

upon

thousands

of

others

had

lingered

on

to

die

in

slow

agony.出人意料的是,刚到广岛车站时袭扰着我的那种异样的忧伤情绪竟在这时重新袭上心头,我的心情又难受起来,因为我又一次意识到自己置身于曾遭受第一颗原子弹轰击的现场。这儿曾有成千上万的生命顷刻之间即遭毁灭,还有成千上万的人在痛苦的煎熬中慢慢死去。

5.

Seldom

has

a

city

gained

such

world

renown,

and

I

am

proud

and

happy

to

welcome

you

to

Hiroshima,

a

town

known

throughout

the

world

for

its—oysters".

难得有个城市像广岛这样闻名遐迩。我既高兴而又自豪地欢迎诸位来到广岛。令广岛如此举世闻名的乃是它的——牡蛎。6.

There

are

two

different

schools

of

thought

in

this

city

of

oysters,

one

that

would

like

to

preserve

traces

of

the

bomb,

and

the

other

that

would

like

to

get

rid

of

everything,

even

the

monumentthat

was

erected

at

the

point

of

impact.

在这个以牡蛎闻名的城市里有两种截然不同的意见,一种主张保存原子弹爆炸留下的痕迹,另一种则主张销毁一切痕迹,甚至要拆除立于爆炸中心的纪念碑。

7.

If

you

write

about

this

city,

do

not

forget

to

say

that

it

is

the

gayest

city

in

Japan,

even

it

many

of

the

town's

people

still

bear

hidden

wounds,

and

burns.

假如您要描写这座城市的话,千万别忘记告诉人们这是日本最快乐的城市,尽管这里的市民许多人身上还带着暗伤和明显的灼伤。8.

But

later

my

hair

began

to

fall

out,

and

my

belly

turned

towater.但到后来,我的头发开始脱落,腹部开始出现积水。Lesson6QuestionAWhowastheothermarktwaintheauthorfound?TheotherMarkTwainwhogrewcynical,bitter,saddenedbytheprofoundpersonaltragedieslifedealthim,amanwhobecameobsessedwiththefrailtiesofthehumanrace,whosawclearlyaheadablackwallofnight.Howdidhisexperienceasasteamboatpilotinfluencehislaterwriting?Hisexperienceasasteamboatpilotimmenselyinfluencedhim,soheadoptedthepenname"MarkTwain"formthecryheardinhissteamboatdays,signalinganavigabledepth.Whatstorydidhewritethatmadehimknownas"thewildhumoristofthepacificslope"?Thestoryentitled"thecelebratedjumpingfrogofCalaverascounty".WhatdidTwainsatirizeinhisbookTheInnocentsAbroad?Whydidthebookbecomeaninstantbest-seller?HesatirizestheEuropeandtheHolyland,arousingintenseinterestamongtheAmericans.WhyistheAdventuresoftomsawyerassuretobestudiedinAmericanadventuresofHuckleberryFinnoftenconsideredthebestbookaccordingtoTwain?BecauseTomSawyerisaclassictaleofAmericanboyhooddescribingTom’smischievousdarning,ingenuity,andsweetinnocenceofhisaffection.BecauseHuckFinn’sraftflightdowntheMississippiwitharunawayslavepresentsamovingpanoramafortheexplorationofAmericansociety.WhatingredientwasmissingintheAmericanambitionaccordingtoTwain?AccordingtoTwain,Americanpeopleshouldstayawayfromallthecrazystrugglesforsuccessattimesandkeeptheiredgessharp.WhatpersonaltragediesdidTwainsuffer?Whydidhebecomebitterlateinlife?Twainsufferedthedeathsofhisbelovedones,andbecauseofthosepainfulsufferingshebecamebitterlateinlife.Howwashisdisillusionshowninhisautobiography?Hecommentedwithacrushingsenseofdespairinmen’sfinalreleaseformearthlystruggles.WhydoestheauthorcallMarkTwain"amirrorofAmerica"?Becausethegreatwriterlivedacolorfullife,doingagreatvarietyofjobsandtravelingextensively.Hemetallkindsofpeoplewhomhelaterdepictedinhiswork.ParaphraseMostAmericansrememberMarkTwainasthefatherofHuckFinn’sidylliccruisethrougheternalboyhoodandTomSawyer’sendlesssummeroffreedomandadventure.MarkTwainisknowntomostAmericansastheauthoroftheadventuresofTomSawyerandtheadventuresofHuckleberryFinn.HuckFinnisnotedforhissimpleandpleasantofjourneythroughhisboyhoodwhichseemseternalandTomSawyerisfamousforhisfreeroamofthecountryandhisadventureinonesummerwhichseemsnevertoend.Theyouthandsummerareeternalbecausethisistheonlyageandtimeweknewthem,theyarefrozeninthatageforallreaders.Thecastofcharacterssetbeforehiminhisnewprofessionwasrichandvaried-acosmos.Hisworkontheboatmadeitpossibleforhimtomeetalargevarietyofpeople.Itisaworldofalltypesofcharacter.Allwouldresurfaceinhisbooks,togetherwiththecolorfullanguagethathesoakedupwithamemorythatseemedphonographic.allwouldreappearinhisbooks,writteninthecolorfullanguagethatheseemedtobeabletorememberandrecordasaccuratelyasaphonograph.Steamboatdecksteemednotonlywithmaincurrentofpioneeringhumanity,butitsfloatsamofhustlers,gamblersandthugsaswell.Steamboatdeckswerefilledwithpeoplewhoexploredandpreparedthewayforothersandalsolawlesspeopleorsocialoutcastssuchashustlers,gamblersand
