17. A New Farming Way

新的耕种方式

Tuan was a farmer in Vietnam. For decades, he had been struggling to rid his family of hunger. However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job.

One day, when skimming through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longpin. He

underlined Yuan’s nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom, he was full of hope.

The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but satisfied with his production very much. Thanks to Yuan

Longpin, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.

俊是一名越南的农民,几十年来,他都一直在努力使家人摆脱饥饿。然而,如何扩大他的农作物产量这一问题却一直在困扰着他。这个恼人的问题导致了他后悔当一名农民,而宁愿自己当初选择其它的工作。

一天,俊在浏览报纸的时候,读到一篇关于袁隆平的评论。他在袁的国籍和职业下面划了线,然

后将焦点集中在他的发现和研究数据上。他发现袁传播的知识非常实用,因此,他做了摘要,并开始建立一种新的耕作方式。他种植营养丰富的超级谷物,添置设备以使作物的根部免受细菌害虫的伤害;他还增加土壤所含的矿物质,同时减少化学肥料的使用。尽管耗费了他更多的时间和自由,他却充满着希望。

第二年,俊被晒黑了,但是却对自己的生产非常满意。多亏了袁隆平,他不仅赢得了对抗饥饿的

战斗,而且还将自己的作物出口到国外呢。

18. Chaplin - A Great Master of Humour

幽默大师卓别林

Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many outstanding comedies. Few were bored watching his moustache, his gestures or his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding on a banana skin or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel more content with our life without any verbal explanation. His particular sense of humor has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.

In a small budget film, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing worn-out shoes and messy

clothes. On one occasion, he was trapped by a snowstorm in a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn’t fortunate enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

在一部小预算的电影里,他穿着磨破的鞋子和脏兮兮的衣服,扮演了一名贫穷又无家可归的人。

在一幕场景中,他被一场暴风雪困在一片多山的区里。尽管他克服了许多困难,但是他还是运气不好的。粥都吃完了,他只好挑出一只鞋子煮来吃。他切下皮革的鞋底,像烙饼一样地咀嚼起来。据一名女演员所说,他的表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人发笑的,以致在场的所有人都忍不住大笑起来。

19.A Misunderstanding

一场误会

In general, spoken statements are the major way of communication, but body language and facial expressions also have such kinds of function. For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one’s back to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures. Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads.

Once, representing the Adults’ Education Association, I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks. As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face.

Later, I received a cassette from him, in which he recorded his apology. On hearing that Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.

通常说来,口头表达是人们交流的主要方法,但是肢体语言和面部表情也有这种功能。例如,打哈欠意味着不感兴趣,背对别人或向其挥舞拳头表达的是愤怒。但是在不同的文化中那些手势表达的真正意思是很主观的。由此,误会就时不时地发生在今天这个文化交叉碰撞的世界里。

有一回,我代表成人教育协会到机场去接一位从哥伦比亚来的高级,我得带他到宿舍和食堂。当他的航班到达时,我看见一名男子好奇地东张西望,于是走上前去和他打招呼。他突然猛冲过来拥抱我,还亲了我的脸颊。还是个年轻姑娘的我感到真尴尬,不由自主举起手来保护自己。他的假笑告诉我他感到丢了面子。

后来,我收到他送来的一盒磁带,里面录了他的道歉。当听到这只是因为哥伦比亚人更倾向于见面时互相亲吻时,我很快就感到轻松安心了。

758. in general:总之;通常

例句:In general, about 10% of the candidates are eventually offered positions. 一般说来,大约10%的申请者最终能获得职位。 759. spoken statement:口头表达

20. A Unique Theme Park

独一无二的主题公园

As soon as our shuttle got close to the theme park by the freeway, everyone came to life and put on cloth sneakers in advance for an outing. Our translator paid for the admission, and we started enjoying the various attractions in the sunlight.

According to the travel brochure, this unique park is famous for its well preserved minority culture. We experienced many deeds of the early settlers, such as swinging across rivers, hunting creatures in the jungle, or taking part in swords fighting tournaments.

This park is also famous for its wooden souvenirs. Whichever we bought in the central shop was

made of wood, and wherever we went we could see minority carpenters working. They made wooden tools, wooden cartoon figures, wooden athletic products and so on. They even built a huge wooden engine with a length of 20 metres, which was modeled after a real one.

This theme park is really a fantasy amusement park. No wonder it has become the brand of local

tourism.

我们走高速公路的来往穿梭巴士一接近主题公园,大家都活跃了起来,并且提前穿上了布鞋,做好这趟外出旅游的准备。翻译付了入场费后,我们就开始在阳光下欣赏各种各样吸引人的东西。

根据旅行手册的介绍,这个独一无二的公园因其得到良好保护的少数名族文化而闻名。我们体验

了许多早期定居者所做的事,如荡过河啦,在丛林中猎杀动物啦,或者参加剑术比赛啦等等。

这个公园还因为它的木制纪念品而闻名,我们在中心商场购买的任何一件物品,都是用木头制作

的,无论我们走到哪里,都可以看见少数名族的木匠们在忙碌。他们制作的有木制工具、木制的卡通人物、木制的运动用的产品,等等等等。他们甚至还根据一台真实发动机仿造了一台长度有20米的木制发动机。

21.A Strange Disease奇怪的疾病

When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a pump was put in. Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.

An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case. He was enthusiastic, but he didn’t foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump. Exposed to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.

Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.

当那座烟花工厂的建设到了油漆阶段时,一个水泵被安装进来,接着,在它附近的油漆工都得了一种严重的疾病(疾病击败油漆工),其特征与烧伤相似。

一位经验丰富的内科医生被指定去照顾受害者并负责处理这一案例。他热情地投入到工作中,但是却没有预见到这是一次艰难的挑战。在简单的询问后,他就宣布说罪魁祸首是受污染的油漆(油漆应受责备)。但是没有确实的证据,人们很怀疑并拒绝他的观点,大家都说他提出的理论毫无道理。他对自己要求更加严格,全身心地投入。除了询问,他还制作了详细的图表,谨慎地分析各项数据,最后,他终于得出了一个科学的结论,把疾病和水泵中的镭联系起来。镭是宇宙中的一种放射性物质,当暴露在镭的辐射中时,人体吸收其射线,立刻染上疾病。

22. Sightseeing in the United Kingdom

观光联合王国

After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error. And his description roughly clarified my questions about the UK--its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK.

Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax.

我的表弟和他妻子在举办了婚礼后到联合王国做全国旅游观光去了。他昨天传真了一封英文信给我,让我高兴的是,他再也不犯时态错误了,而且他的描述也粗略地向我阐明了关于英国的一些问题——它的货币啦,行政管理啦,把它分成四个行政区的制度啦,还有在南爱尔兰脱离联合王国时发生的一些历史上的冲突和争拗。

因为不愿意漏掉任何一个景点,我表弟仔细地安排了他愉快的旅程。他参观的其中一个吸引人的地方是苏格兰乡村的一个城堡。城堡靠近一座港口,曾经是主义联盟会的总部,但是在战争中倒塌了。人们发现没有任何东西可以取代这座辉煌的建筑,于是在1952年完成了重建。值得赞扬的是,所有配备家具的房间都和它们过去一致的。由雕像加折叠在玻璃柜里的皇家制服组成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。尽管没有可能购买这些展览品,拍照却很方便,他在传真中一起发给了我。

23. An Air Crash

飞机失事

I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any more postage bills or

postcodes on a typewriter every day, I resigned. With a greedy motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the G.E Ecology Company, which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our dustbins. My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working timetable was full of traveling by jets.

Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm, which destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely. Lacking food and tablets, we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept optimistic and made good adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon. Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages and saved us.

我以前是一家邮局的打字员,因为忍受够了每天在打字机上打邮资账单或邮政编码,我辞了职。带着想挣大钱的贪婪动机,我开始给一家叫G.E生态公司的企业当商务代表,这家公司通过回收我们垃圾箱里的有用材料生产商品。我的新工作在多方面都给了我很好的印象,除了一点:乘飞机旅行挤满了我的工作时间表。

有一次,我们的喷气飞机在加速时被一场雷暴吞没,不仅损坏了GPS信号接收器,还使我们看不见方向。一盏持续闪亮的灯说明我们的飞机正处在危险中。一名乘务员立刻让我们戴上面罩、系牢安全带,接着按下一枚按钮 打开逃生仓电源,逃生仓马上侧着滑出出口,安全降落在一片荒凉的地区。因为缺少食品和药品,我们一开始都又紧张又心里没底,但是我们都保持乐观,做好调整适应这一新境况。我们打扫干净周围的泥土,安顿下来,很快就恢复过来。最后,在我们坠机烟雾的指引下,一些当地的居民搭乘马车到来,我们都获救了。

24. An Amateur Journalist

业余记者

Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist. It is a dilemma for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is admirable that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more professional, she concentrates on her job and updates herself now and then. Once she is informed of a new case, her normal working process is as follows: first, she makes appointments with guilty people for interviews. So as to acquire accurate stories, she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good colleague will assist her in taking photographs. Second, she assesses whether they are deliberately hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the case herself. Third, she writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to the senior chief editor, who polishes and approves every section. Finally, her stories will be published in different editions of their magazine.

一旦接到新案子的通知,她通常的工作程序如下:首先,她和有罪的人约了作采访。为了获得准确的新闻,她通常要求做录音,同时,一位技术上好的同事会协助她拍照;接着,她对受采访的人是否有故意隐瞒作出评估。如果她怀疑他们的话,就会亲自调查案件;然后,她在截稿期限前写出详尽的报道,呈交给高级主编,由他对每个部分做润色和批准;最后,她的新闻就发表在杂志的各个版本中了。
