1、2019 年中石油职称英语新版选读文章系列 (41)The Subject of Smiling 微笑问题1.In the spring of this year, a Beijing televisionchannel produced a program called, Smile. It televised thereaction of people on the street when confronted with a smilefrom an unknown person, chosen at random. Most people wereeither surprised or
2、seemed a little worried. A few moreenthusiastic people even muttered that the person who smiledwas crazy. The number of people who actually returned thesmile could be counted on one hand.1、这个年春天,北京电视台以微笑为题作了一档街头调查节目:请一些人在街道上对着遇到的行人微笑,以观察行人的反应。结果多数人现出惊讶或紧张的表情,更激烈些的则骂一声“神经病”。回报以微笑的路人屈指可数。2.It seems Ch
3、inese people dont really like to smile andthats the impression they convey to the world.2、中国人不太爱笑,这差不多是个国际印象。3.What is not understood by outsiders is that smiling inChina is a very meaningful and subtle thing. Around 781 BC,there was a monarch called Zhou You Wang, who cared littlefor ruling his cou
4、ntry. Instead, he much preferred to chasewomen. One of his Ministers gave the Emperor a beautifulwoman, whom the Emperor really liked, except for the factthat she would never smile. After trying countless differentmethods to get her to smile, a Minister came up with an idea.He suggested the Emperor
5、light the twenty or so signal fireswhich were spread around the capital city to warn people whenthe country was in danger of war. The Minister thought thefires would summon the Warlords and Dukes to bring theirarmies to the capital and, when the woman saw the chaoscaused by tricking the armies, she
6、would surely laugh.3、外国人不明白,笑在中国是一件内涵颇深的事情。大概在公元前 781 年,一位称作周幽王的君主,酷好美女,无心国政。有大臣便将一名美女献给他。周幽王非常喜欢她,但这个美女从未笑过。百般招数无效后,有一大臣出主意让周幽王点燃烽火。京城附近有 20 多座烽火台,这是为战争时向诸侯求救而建立的信号台。大臣认为诸侯见到烽火就会赶至京城,美女看到兵“慌”马乱的情形,一定会笑出来。4.The Zhou Emperor tried this idea and, sure enough, itmade the beautiful woman laugh. Later, w
7、hen a real enemy cameand the Emperor lit the signal fires, the Generals didntrespond, thinking it was just another trick. Thus, theEmperor and his beautiful woman were both captured. Today,the Chinese refer to this story of Emperor Zhou as, Signalfires joke with the Generals.4、周幽王照此办理,果真引得美人一笑。仅仅后来外
8、敌来犯,周幽王的烽火没能把曾受骗的诸侯召来,至使自己命丧敌手。那位美女也被敌人掳了去。这个桩君王逗美女一笑的故事,就是今天中国人所知的“烽火戏诸侯”。5.There are four main Chinese classical stories thatdeal with this problem of smiling. The books are A Dream ofRed Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin,and Journey to the West. The main character in A Dream o
9、f RedMansions is a young master, no older than 15 or 16, named JiaBaoyu. When trying to get a servant girl to smile, heprepared a bunch of paper fens for her to rip. When theservant heard the ripping sound, she couldnt contain herhappiness and broke into a smile. The mother of the youngmaster took a
10、 dislike to the girl and found an excuse tocause her death.5、中国有四大古典名著 ( 红楼梦、三国演义、水浒、西游记 ) ,红楼梦中的男主人公是年龄不过十五六岁的王府少爷贾宝玉。这少爷为讨婢女的笑脸,备下大堆的纸扇给她撕,这女子听到撕扇声就乐不可支。结果是少爷的母亲看不惯这位婢女的张扬,找了个碴,置她于死地。6.In the 8th century AD, there was an Emperor named TangMing Huang who doted on one of his concubines. A famous poe
11、tof the time, Bai Juyi, wrote a poem describing the beauty ofthis concubine. The poem says, If she but turned her headand smiled, there were cast a hundred spells, and the powderand paint of the Six Palaces1, faded into nothing. However,a tragic ending to the life of this beautiful concubine cameabo
12、ut when a few Generals rose up against the Emperor. TheEmperor needed a gesture to boost the morale of his loyalsoldiers and urge his concubine to provide the gesture bycommitting suicide.6、公元 8 世纪,有一位被称作唐明皇的皇帝,对一个妃子宠爱有加。当时的诗人白居易在诗中形容这位妃子魅力:“回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色”。这个有媚人笑容的妃子的结局更惨:当那些背叛皇帝的军人挑起战乱时,皇帝不得不逼迫她自
13、杀以安抚军心。7.From some of the examples above, it seems the idealtaught is, Women arent allowed to smile, and men arentallowed to demand that they smile. Besides these examples,there are some ancient idioms related to smiling, sun asHide a dagger behind a sharp smile and put on a falsesmile. These idoms
14、could refer to the sinister plans of anunexpected enemy or the indiscretion that sometimes occurs inthe world. The saying, smiling adds ten years to your life,sounds good, and is true if one gains a physical or mentalbenefit.7、从上面这些旷世之笑中,似乎能够得出“女人不可发笑,男人不可讨笑”的教训。此外,还有一些流传久远的,与笑相关的成语笑里藏刀、皮笑肉不笑也许道出了人世
15、的险恶和处世的谨慎。“笑一笑,十年少”,这条古训看上去正面了很多,却充满着功利。8.I remember in the 1980s, I interviewed the VicePresident of a high class hotel, which was state run, buteventually became a joint-venture between a Chinese andforeign ownership. At the time, everything was in shortsupply and the foreign guests gave the hotel
16、 staff a nicknameof No because the standard reply to most inquiries wasalways, No. We dont have it. The attitude of the hotelstaff was usually downbeat and smiles were extremely hard tocome by.8、记得上世纪 80 年代末,我采访一个酒店的副经理。合资前,这是一家国营饭店。那个时代服务业的人员被外国人称为“没有”因为当时商品匮乏,要什么都回答“没有” ; 服务态度也出奇地差,一笑难求。9.In the c
17、ourse of my interview with the Vice President,we came to the subject of smiling. The Vice President, whocame from a military background, resolutely told me, In myHotel, we want a proletariat smile and, definitely, dontwant a capitalist smile. After all, my employees are peopletoo, why would they wan
18、t to smile at a guest unless they hadreason to?9、我就同这位副经理谈到了微笑服务。军人出身的副经理坚定地告诉我:“在我的酒店,只要无产阶级的微笑,绝不要资产阶级的微笑。我们的服务员也是人,无缘无故,为什么要对客人笑 ?”10.Smiling, and not smiling, according to some people,is a form of respect.10、笑与不笑,在一些人眼里是关乎尊严的大事。11.David Lamb is a reporter who wrote about the VietnamWar for the L
19、.A. Times, and later wrote a book describingVietnams development during times of peace. In his book, hewrote, During my first encounters with the Vietnamese duringa time of peace, what struck me was the smile. Faces aglow,their smiles seemed natural and spontaneous, not a forced,mechanical flash of
20、politeness, but rather an expressionstraight from the heart. A European businessman told me hehad rejected a posting in China for one in Vietnam because inChina, people are distant and somber. They frown all the time.In Vietnam, I walk out my door in the morning, and people aresmiling. They make you feel welcome. Theyre approachable.They act as though lifes pretty good.11、以前报道过越南战争的洛杉矶时报记者大卫,兰姆,在描写越南和平年代的书
