2、onely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up.

3、 needs to be sorted out. Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self is hiding.

The great Wall winds like a giant serpent along the lofty myriad mountains. It is one of the most famous attr

12、actions to visitors. 第 4 篇 原文： 比“文明”这个词还用得更不确切、更加无拘无束的词简直寥寥无几。文明是什么意思？它意指一个建立在平民百姓舆论基础上的社会。它意味着暴力、武士和暴君的统治、战争冲突、暴动暴政为立法议会所取代，被法律得以长期维护的独立法庭所代替。这就是文明，在文明的土壤里，自、舒适和文化不断发展壮大。如果文明在任何一个国家里占了支配地位，那么便可给人民群众提供一种更加宽松的较为平静的生活，过去的传统则受人珍重，英明伟人或勇士们留给我们的遗产则成为咱们大家共同享用的丰富的财产。 参考译文： There are few words which are use

13、d more loosely than the word ?civilization?. What does it mean? It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot and tyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and indep

The second generation are tho

Despite the fact that those two generations of museums helped to disseminate / propagate / spread scientific knowledge, they nevertheless treated visitors merely as

In those museums, visitors are allowed to operate the exhibits with their own hands, to observe and to experience carefully. By getting closer to the advanced science and technologies

19、 in this way, people can probe into their secret mysteries. 第 6 篇 原文： 正是因为不停地追求进取，我们才感到生活幸福。一件事完成后，另一件随之而来，如此连绵不绝，永无止境。对于往前看的人来说，眼前总有一番新天地。虽然我们蜗居于这颗小行星上，整日忙于锁事且生命短暂，但我们生来就有不尽的希望，如天上繁星，遥不可及。只要生命犹在，希望便会不止。真正的幸福在于怎样开始，而不是如何结束，在于我们的希翼，而并非拥有。 参考译文： We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one

20、thing leading to another in an endless series. There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet, immersed in petty business and not enduring beyond a brief period of years, we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of

21、 hoping is prolonged until the term of life. To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have. 第 7 篇 原文： 来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样，大多非常刻苦勤奋，周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班，因而比起美国学生来，成果出得较多。 我的导师是亚裔人，嗜烟好酒，脾气暴躁。但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识，也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。因此，在他实验室所

22、招的学生中，除有一名来自德国外，其余5位均是亚裔学生。 他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌：“本室助研必须每周工作7天，早10时至晚12时，工作时间必须全力以赴。”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的，在我所呆的3年半中，共有14位学生被招进他的实验室，最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。 1990年夏天，我不顾别人劝阻，硬着头皮接受了导师的资助，从此开始了艰难的求学旅程。 参考译文 : Like students from other Asian countries and regions, most Chinese students who come to pursue further education

23、 in the United States work on their studies most diligently and assiduously. Even on weekends, they would frequently spend one day, or even two days, to work overtime in their laboratories. Therefore, compared with their American counterparts, they are more academically fruitful. My supervisor (advi

Nevertheless, he highly appreciates the industry and the solid foundational knowledge of Asian students and has a particularly keen insight into the psychology of Asian students. Hence, of

In the course of the 3 and half years that I stayed there, a total of 14 students were recruited into his laboratory and only 5 of them stayed on until they graduated with their degrees. In the summer of 1990, ignoring the remo

27、nstrations (admonishments / dissuasions) from others, I accepted my supervisors sponsorship and embarked on the difficult journey of academic pursuit (undertaking further studies in the United States). 同意了。 于是笼子里的老虎走进了大自然，野地里的老虎走进了笼子。但不久，两只老虎都死了。一只是饥饿而死，一只是忧郁而死。 许多时候，人们往往对自己的幸福熟视无睹，而觉得别人的幸福很耀眼，却想不到别

28、人的幸福也许对自己不合适。 参考译文： Two Tigers There were two tigers; one lived in a cage and the other in the wild. The caged one didnt have to worry about his meal while the one outside was unrestrained. The caged tiger was always envious of the freedom of the one in the wild, while the other one envied the caged

29、 one for his ease. One day, one tiger said to the other: There upon the caged one went back to nature while the other came into the cage. But before long both died one of starvation, and the other, melancholy. Sometimes one is not conscious of his own happiness and always thinks the grass is always

30、greener on the other side of the fence, but not think over that one mans meat is another mans poison. 第 16 篇 原文： 张恨水先生曾写过一篇为人应当接受批评，他说：“生平很少和人打笔墨官司，就是人家指出我的名姓来教训一顿，我也不曾回复一个字。这样做，我并非怯懦，也并非过分的容忍。我有个感想，我错了，止谤莫如自修。我不错，最好借事实来答复。这是一个办法，也许不适合他人，但至少我自己，在做人上纠正了不少错误。而三十年来的写作生涯，略有寸进，一大半也就是根据别人的批评而得的。” 恨水先生对待批评

31、的态度，很值得当今文化人学习。 参考译文： Henshui once wrote up A Man Should Accept Criticisms. In this article, he said, a single word in retort when someone launches a criticism by mentioning my name. Neither does this mean that I am weak, nor over tolerant. I think if I did something wrong, the better way to against

32、 defaming is to do self-examination; if its not my fault, Id rather air my opinions based on the fact. This may be not practical for other people, but at least it helps me a lot on behaving myself. During the life of my over thirty years writting, some progress I have made mostly benefits from other

33、s criticisms. s attitude to criticism is well worthy of intellectuals? following. 第 17 篇 原文： 一头驮着沉重货物的驴，气喘吁吁地请求仅驮了一点货物的马：“帮我驮点东西吧。对你来说，这不算什么；可对我来说，却可以减轻不少负担。” 马不高兴地回答：“你凭什么让我帮你驮东西，我乐得轻松呢。” 不久，驴累死了。主人将驴背上的所有货物全部加在马背上，马懊悔不已。 膨胀的自我使我们忽略了一个基本事实，那就是：我们同在生活这条大船上，别人的好坏与我们休戚相关。别人的不幸不能给我们带来快乐，相反，在帮助别人的时候，其实也

34、是在帮助我们自己。 参考译文： A donkey, heavily loaded down, panted to a horse that was lightly laden:relief for me.” horse, scowling. Soon after, the donkey died of exhaustion. The master transferred everything from the back of the donkey onto the horse, which now deeply regretted its action. An inflated ego bli

The most agonizing part of the ordeal, she said, was the week-long wait for the test results. A bad outcome she could learn to cope with

39、, my friend said. It was the not knowing, the uncertainty, that was so difficult. People feel worse when something bad might occur than when something bad will occur, wrote Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert in a recent New York Times op-ed. Most of us arent losing sleep and sucking down Marlboros

40、because the Dow is going to fall another thousand points, but because we dont know whether it will fall or not and human beings find uncertainty more painful than the things theyre uncertain about. 第 20 篇 原文： 与舞蹈和音乐相伴的歌谣跟口头流传的神话，远在文字出现之前就已大量产生。中国的文学正是发端于此。不过歌谣本是人们在生活中随兴而发的东西，上古时代也没有保存和记载它们的手段，因之也就很快

41、湮灭，不留痕迹。我们只能从一些古籍书中推断它们的存在。古书中记载了一些据称年代非常久远的歌谣，但是大多出于后人的伪托，能够断定朝代的歌谣要到诗经里才能看见。从这点来看，古代神话对中国文学的影响更为显著。 参考译文： Long before the emergence of the written word, ballads, accompanied by music and dance, and myths, passed around by word of mouth, were widely popular. Chinese literature finds its origins in

42、these traditions. However, ballads were what people improvised out of daily life, and due to lack of means to record and preserve them in ancient times, they quickly disappeared without leaving much of a trace. Today, we can only deduce their existence from ancient books, which recorded some time-ho

43、nored ballads, though most of these are believed to be derivatives of later generations. Ballads in the Book of Songs are the earliest writings that can be dated. From this point of view, ancient mythology obviously has had a great influence on Chinese literature. 第 21 篇 原文： 当你步入婚姻的殿堂，你可能认为已经爬到了山顶，剩

44、下的只是悠闲地沿着平缓的山坡下山。然而，这只是恋爱的结束，婚姻的开始。拥有一颗骄傲而又叛逆的心，坠入爱河与赢得爱情都是难事；但维持爱情也很重要，夫妻都应相敬如宾,互相关爱。当真爱起始于圣坛之时，夫妻之间便开始了一场智慧与慷慨的竞争，一场为了一个不可能实现的理想而持续一生的奋斗。不可能实现？啊，当然不可能，因为他们不是一个人，而是两个呀。 参考译文： Again, when you have married your wife, you would think you were got upon a hilltop, and might begin to go downward by an ea

45、sy slope. But you have only ended courting to begin marriage. Falling in love and winning love are often difficult tasks to overbearing and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also a business of some importance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and goodwill. The true love story

46、commences at the altar, when there lies before the married pair a most beautiful contest of wisdom and generosity, and a life-long struggle towards an unattainable ideal. Unattainable? Ay, surely unattainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one. 第 22 篇 原文： 传道者感叹到：“著书立说没有止境”，却没发觉他已高度

47、评价了作家这一职业。的确，写作、旅行、积聚财富都是没有终结的。一个问题引发另外一个问题。我们不断学习，且永远达不到心中所渴望的那般学识渊博。我们永远雕刻不出自己心仪的塑像。当发现一个新大陆,或翻过一座山脉时，我们总会看到远方还有未曾涉足的海洋与陆地。宇宙浩渺，总会有供我们勤奋努力的东西，总会有供我们探索的空间。它不像卡莱尔的著作，可以读完。即使在其一角，在一个私人花园，或一个农庄附近，四季轮回，天气瞬息万变，哪怕在那里生活了一辈子，也总会有让我们惊喜的事情。 参考译文： perceive how highly he was praising letters as an occupation.

48、There is no end, indeed, to making books or experiments, or to travel, or to gathering wealth. Problem gives rise to problem. We may study for ever, and we are never as learned as we would. We have never made a statue worthy of our dreams. And when we have discovered a continent, or crossed a chain

49、of mountains, it is only to find another ocean or another plain upon the further side. In the infinite universe there is room for our swiftest diligence and to spare. It is not like the works of Carlyle, which can be read to an end. Even in a corner of it, in a private park, or in the neighborhood o

50、f a single hamlet, the weather and the seasons keep so deftly changing that although we walk there for a lifetime there will be always something new to startle and delight us. 第 23 篇 原文： 正是因为不停地追求进取，我们才感到生活幸福。一件事完成后，另一件随之而来，如此连绵不绝，永无止境。对于往前看的人来说，眼前总有一番新天地。虽然我们蜗居于这颗小行星上，整日忙于琐事且生命短暂，但我们生来就有不尽的希望，如天上繁星
