第一篇：現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀第5冊1-7翻譯

Lesson 1 Where Do We Go from Here 1.一個(gè)無關(guān)緊要的謊言總比一個(gè)善意的謊言要好。

2.為了挫敗各種蓄意培植的低人一等的心態(tài)，黑人必須直起腰來宣布自己高貴的人格。3.黑人必須以一種竭盡全力自尊自重的精神，大膽拋棄自我克制的枷鎖。

4.必須懂得沒有愛的權(quán)力是毫無節(jié)制、易被濫用的，而沒有權(quán)力的愛則是多愁善感、脆弱無力的。

5.正是這種邪惡的權(quán)力和沒有權(quán)勢的道義的沖突構(gòu)成了我們時(shí)代的主要危機(jī)。

6.在本世紀(jì)之初，這種建議會(huì)受到嘲笑和譴責(zé)，認(rèn)為它對主動(dòng)性和責(zé)任感起到負(fù)面作用。7.事實(shí)上，人們從事改善人類處境的工作，從事傳播知識(shí)、增強(qiáng)實(shí)力、豐富文學(xué)財(cái)富以及升華思想的工作并不是為了謀生。

8.…….它能夠花費(fèi)幾十億美元幫助上帝的孩子自立于這個(gè)世界。

9.除非主張暴力的少數(shù)人得到大多數(shù)人的同情和支持，不和他們對抗，否則，暴力革命很少或者說幾乎沒有成功的。

10.我們要懂得道義的蒼穹長又長，它終將落向正義。

Lesson 2 Two Kinds B.Sentences 1.我的頭發(fā)沒有做出我要的大卷花，而是給我弄成一頭亂蓬蓬的黑色小卷毛。2.在她告訴我答案前，她對了對手中的雜志，看看赫爾辛基是否能這樣發(fā)音。

3.她似乎被這音樂吸引住了。這鋼琴曲不長，但有點(diǎn)狂亂，有著迷人的特點(diǎn)，樂曲一開始時(shí)快節(jié)奏的，接著是歡快跳動(dòng)的節(jié)拍，然后又回到嬉戲的部分。4.如果她的才氣和她的脾氣一樣大，她早就出名了。

5.我最喜歡練習(xí)的部分是花哨的謝幕行禮的動(dòng)作：先出右腳，腳尖點(diǎn)在地毯的玫瑰圖案上，身子側(cè)擺，左腿彎曲，抬頭，微笑。

6.一股涼氣從頭頂開始，然后一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)傳到全身。但我卻不能停止演奏，雙手好像著了魔似的。我不停地想，我的手指會(huì)調(diào)整好，就像火車會(huì)被扳倒正確的軌道上。

7.她的臉部失去了表情，嘴巴緊閉，雙臂無力地垂下。她退出了房間，神色驚異，好像一小片枯黃的樹葉被風(fēng)吹走了，那樣的單薄、脆弱、毫無生氣。

8.我第一次，或好像感覺是第一次，注意到右邊的樂曲。它的名稱是“心滿意足”。我也試著彈這首曲子。它的曲調(diào)比較輕松，但節(jié)奏同樣流暢，不是很難。“祈求的孩子”較短、較慢，而“心滿意足”更長、更快一些。在我彈了幾遍后，我意識(shí)到，原來這兩個(gè)曲子是同一首歌的兩個(gè)組成部分。

Lesson 3 Goods Move.People Move.Ideas Move.And Cultures Change B.Sentences 1.就是她，在我寫評論時(shí)，總是在我和我的寫作之間制造麻煩。

2.下面我要說說多少是我自己決定做的一件事情，當(dāng)然做此事的功勞主要還應(yīng)歸功于我的了不起的祖先，是他們給我留下了一筆財(cái)產(chǎn)——比如說每年五百英鎊吧——這樣我就不必完全靠女人的魅力去謀生了。

3.我相信，只有婦女在人類知識(shí)所涉及的全部藝術(shù)和專業(yè)領(lǐng)域中用創(chuàng)造形式表達(dá)自己的情感后，她們才能知道什么是婦女。

4． 他希望在他寫作時(shí)，他每天見的人，讀的書，做的事都是相同的，這樣任何事物都不會(huì)打破他生活的幻想，也不會(huì)攪亂他的四處探求以及對那令人難以捉摸的東西——想象力的突然發(fā)現(xiàn)。5.盡管如此，我請你想象我在迷睡的狀態(tài)中寫小說。

6.她意識(shí)到男人們會(huì)如何議論一個(gè)敢講有關(guān)激情真話的女人，這使她從藝術(shù)家的無意識(shí)狀態(tài)中驚醒了。

7.從內(nèi)心精神方面看，情況頗為不同。婦女還要與許多鬼怪展開斗爭，還有許多偏見需要去克服。

8.討論和界定這些障礙是十分重要的，因?yàn)橹挥腥绱宋覀儾拍芄餐朔щy。9．那些目的是什么，對這個(gè)問題我們不能像當(dāng)然，而要不斷地提出疑問和進(jìn)行審視。

Lesson 5 Love Is a Fallacy B.Sentences 1.像查爾斯蘭姆這樣快樂和富有創(chuàng)新精神的人物并不常見，他寫了《古瓷》和《夢中的孩子》兩篇文章，這兩篇文章可以說解放了散文。

2.那么，就讀讀下面這篇文章吧，它將向我們展示邏輯并不是一門枯燥乏味、迂腐不堪的學(xué)科；恰恰相反，邏輯是一個(gè)活生生的事物，充滿美麗、激情和心靈的創(chuàng)傷。

3.我的頭腦和發(fā)電機(jī)一樣的強(qiáng)大，和藥劑師的天平一樣精確，和手術(shù)刀一樣銳利。4.她亭亭玉立、體態(tài)優(yōu)雅，這一切表明她出身高貴。

5.我一下子打開了手提箱，露出氣味刺鼻的一團(tuán)毛乎乎的東西。6.這么可愛的人可不容易找。

7.我要是意志不堅(jiān)定，我就不是我了。

8.我皺了一下眉頭，但鼓足勇氣地繼續(xù)往下講。

9.也許，在她死火山般的腦袋里，還有一點(diǎn)余火仍在閃爍冒煙。10.這回菠莉該動(dòng)心了（應(yīng)該能達(dá)到我的目的了），我雙臂交叉在胸前，想道。

Lesson 6 Life Beyond Earth 1.出現(xiàn)了一種叫做生命的東西——物質(zhì)的一種形態(tài)：它與巖石、氣體以及塵埃有本質(zhì)的不同，但卻由同樣的東西，到處存在的同樣的元素構(gòu)成。2.外空是否存在生命，這是我們對自然認(rèn)識(shí)的空白。

3.我們不知道這種生命是否建立在碳原子基礎(chǔ)上，是否需要液體形態(tài)的水作為中介，是游呢、飛呢，還是生活在地下。

4.對外星人乘坐飛碟光臨地球這種說法深信不疑的人，并不像人們有時(shí)候所說的那樣，是邏輯混亂，更不是喪失理智。

5.在分成一至十的等級(jí)表上，等級(jí)越高，生物起源的可能性就越大。他說他只能給所謂的火星化石一個(gè)二級(jí)。

6.有一段時(shí)間，板塊構(gòu)造地質(zhì)學(xué)被視作十分怪異的主張，板塊地質(zhì)學(xué)是指地殼的巨大板塊的移動(dòng)、碰撞、下沉。

7.火星沒有這種機(jī)制，而這一看似微不足道的缺陷也許就是火星失去其大部分空氣的原因。8.他提出，高智能在地球上近十億物種中只出現(xiàn)一個(gè)。因此，只有十億分之一的成功機(jī)會(huì)。9.在我們知道的有生命的唯一星球上出現(xiàn)了具有智能的物種，其比率為一比一。

Lesson 7 Invisible Man B.Sentences 1.你要在虎口里求生，我要你對他們唯唯諾諾、笑臉相迎，只有讓他們喪失警惕，才能戰(zhàn)勝他們。你要對他們百依百順，叫他們徹底完蛋。讓他們吞掉你們吧，直到撐得他們嘔吐，肚子破裂。

2.我的牙直打戰(zhàn)，渾身起雞皮疙瘩，膝蓋也在發(fā)抖。

3.鈴聲一響，你就給我跑過去，照準(zhǔn)他的肚子狠狠地揍。你不打他，我就打你。

4.我豎起耳朵，竭力想聽出督學(xué)的聲音，似乎從他那稍微熟悉的聲音中可以得到一點(diǎn)安全感。

5.我小心翼翼地移動(dòng)著身體，躲避攻擊，但我又不能做得過分，否則會(huì)引起注意。

6.煙嗆得人人無法忍受，我們混亂的廝打根本不分回合，更沒有隔三分鐘搖鈴一次的間歇讓我們喘口氣。

7.耳朵里的鈴聲還沒斷，第二遍鈴聲就鐺的一聲響起來了，只見那個(gè)大個(gè)子迅速地超我撲過來。

8.我正在左右跳動(dòng)，忽然一拳打在我頭上，我的右眼像玩具跳偶一樣暴了出來。不過，這倒把我從進(jìn)退兩難中解脫了出來。

9.我躺在地上，朦朧之中看到自己的一塊深紅色的血斑漸漸化成蝴蝶狀，閃著紅光，然后浸透到污跡斑斑的拳擊場上。10．我們年輕一代贊美那位偉大的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和教育家的智慧，是他首先說出這些閃耀智慧之光的話語。

11.我對那些指望在異鄉(xiāng)改善境遇以及對南方白人近鄰友好相處的意義認(rèn)識(shí)不足的同族兄弟們說，“就地取水”吧。

第二篇：現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀第6冊課后翻譯

1.When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant---c combined gardener and cook--had seen in at least ten years.男人們?nèi)ナ浅鲇谝环N敬慕之情，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)紀(jì)念碑倒下了。女人們則大多數(shù)出于好奇心，想看看艾米麗小姐的房子里面到底是什么樣子的，因?yàn)槌艘粋€(gè)做花匠兼廚師的老男仆之外，起碼有10年光景誰也沒進(jìn)去看看這幢房子了。

2.And now Emily had gone to join the representatives of those august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and confederate soldiers who fell at the battle of Jefferson.不過，現(xiàn)在艾米麗小姐也加入到那些名門望族代表的行列中，他們沉睡在雪松環(huán)繞的墓園之中，那里盡是一排排南北戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期杰費(fèi)森戰(zhàn)役中陣亡的南方和北方的無名戰(zhàn)士墓。

3.Alive, Miss Emily had been seen a tradition, a duty and a care;s sort of hereditary obligation upon the town......艾米麗小姐在世時(shí)，一直是傳統(tǒng)的化身，履行責(zé)任和給予關(guān)照的對象，這是全鎮(zhèn)人沿襲下來的一種義務(wù)......4.They were admitted by the old Negro into a dim hall from which a stairway mounted into still more shadow.老男仆把他們引進(jìn)光線黯淡的門廳，廳里的樓梯通向更加陰暗的樓上。

5.......and when they sat down, a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sunray.......他們落座時(shí)，一股細(xì)細(xì)的灰塵在大腿周圍慢慢揚(yáng)起，塵粒在房間里唯一的太陽光束中緩緩地旋轉(zhuǎn)著。

6.Her skeleton was small and spare;perhaps that was why what would have been merely plumpness in another was obesity in her.因?yàn)樗墓羌苄?，換了別人只是有點(diǎn)豐滿，而到她身上就顯得肥胖了。

7.So the next night, after midnight, four men crossed Miss Emily’ s lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing along the base of the brickwork and at the cellar openings while one of them performed a regular sowing motion with his hand out of a sack slung from his shoulder.于是，第二天午夜之后，有四個(gè)人穿過艾米麗家的草坪，像夜盜一樣繞著屋子潛行，沿著墻角一帶以及在地窖的通風(fēng)處使勁地嗅著，其中一人從背在肩上的袋子里不時(shí)掏出什么東西，不斷做著播種的動(dòng)作。

8.They had not even been represented at the funeral.他們連葬禮也沒派人參加。

9.Miss Emily just stared at him, her head tilted back in order to look him eye for eye, until he looked away and went and got the arsenic and wrapped it up.艾米麗就那樣瞪著他，她的頭向后仰，以便能與他對視，一直看得他轉(zhuǎn)移了目光，走進(jìn)去取了砒霜并包好。

10.Now and then we would see her in one of the downstairs windows----she had evidently shut up the top floor of the house----like the carven torso of an idol in a niche, looking or not looking at us, we could never tell which.不時(shí)地，我們在樓下的窗口能看見她的身影，顯然她已經(jīng)封閉了樓上。她的身影就像供奉在神龕里的一尊佛像的軀體，也許她在看著我們，也許沒有，我們也搞不清楚。

第三篇：現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀

對《大學(xué)英語精讀》教材進(jìn)行評價(jià)

《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》是我們大家熟悉的一本教材。精讀課，也就是我們上的基礎(chǔ)英語課，是高校英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段的一門核心課程，是幫助學(xué)生掌握聽、說、讀、寫、譯等基本語言技能的基礎(chǔ)課。精讀教材主要是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語用能力，使學(xué)生能夠從書中有所感悟，把所學(xué)到的語言知識(shí)與生活實(shí)際結(jié)合起來，使學(xué)習(xí)過程生活化。該教材還能培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語思維能力和創(chuàng)新能力，而不是使學(xué)生拘泥于書本知識(shí)，主要的教學(xué)任務(wù)不是積累知識(shí)，而是開發(fā)學(xué)生的思維，該教材秉著以學(xué)生為中心的教學(xué)思想，教材的選材非常廣泛,符合學(xué)生興趣，是一本符合當(dāng)代大學(xué)生的優(yōu)秀教材。

一本好的教材有以下幾點(diǎn)特征；(1)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容和語言能夠反映快速變化的時(shí)代(2)、要處理好專業(yè)知識(shí)，語言訓(xùn)練和相關(guān)學(xué)科之間的關(guān)系(3)、教材不僅著眼于知識(shí)的傳授而要有助于學(xué)生的鑒賞批評能力、思維能力和創(chuàng)新能力的培養(yǎng)(4)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容要有較強(qiáng)的實(shí)用性和針對性。而《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材充分表現(xiàn)出一本好的教材的特點(diǎn)，在英語教學(xué)中起著積極的作用，主要表現(xiàn)在以下幾個(gè)方面。

1、教材具有權(quán)威性。教材的權(quán)威性主要在于它努力體現(xiàn)新大綱的要求，任何教材的編寫都要相對應(yīng)的教學(xué)大綱作指導(dǎo)，而衡量教材的好壞的一個(gè)重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是看他是否符合大綱的具體要求。大學(xué)英語精讀教材是根據(jù)國家或地方教育部門頒發(fā)的教學(xué)大綱或課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)編寫的，能夠較好的體現(xiàn)教學(xué)大綱或課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)定的教學(xué)目的、教學(xué)目標(biāo)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容以及教學(xué)方法，所以大學(xué)英語精讀教材完全符合大綱中有關(guān)教材的規(guī)定，有利于教學(xué)大綱和課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的有效實(shí)施。教材的權(quán)威性還取決于編寫人員的能力和素質(zhì)?，F(xiàn)代《 現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材是北京外國語大學(xué)多名教授共同研究而成，這些教授具有豐富的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和深厚的語言功底，而且教材有國內(nèi)著名的外語出版社出版，還是普通高等教育“十五”國家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材。所以，現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀教材在一定程度上能夠保證教學(xué)內(nèi)容、教學(xué)過程和教學(xué)方法的科學(xué)性和合理性，從而保證教學(xué)質(zhì)量和教學(xué)效果。

2、教材具有系統(tǒng)性。從整體上看，教材體系完整，內(nèi)容豐富，有利于學(xué)生系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)語音、詞匯、語法等語言知識(shí)；材內(nèi)容從易到難，是一個(gè)逐步推進(jìn)的過程。第一年的教材主要任務(wù)是鞏固高中所學(xué)的內(nèi)容，這主要是考慮到大學(xué)新生需要時(shí)間來克服高中階段應(yīng)試教學(xué)的影響，要盡快幫助他們熟悉大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)方法，養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，糾正他們的語音語調(diào)，鼓勵(lì)他們克服漢語方言對應(yīng)于發(fā)音的負(fù)面影響，同時(shí)，要讓學(xué)生意識(shí)到學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的關(guān)鍵是運(yùn)用，而不是為了做題。第二年的教材，主要是知識(shí)積累，要運(yùn)用各種方法擴(kuò)大詞匯量，提高對語法的掌握和運(yùn)用能力，還要加強(qiáng)寫作和翻譯的訓(xùn)練，因?yàn)檫@兩種技能需要從實(shí)踐中得到提高，而不是拘泥于書本知識(shí)，第三年的教材主要是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀水平，學(xué)生能夠獨(dú)立完成一個(gè)章節(jié)的閱讀，教材增加了閱讀的難度，這樣有助于提高學(xué)生的閱讀水平，第四年的精讀教材主要是使學(xué)生的聽、說、讀、寫、譯這五種能力得到全面的培養(yǎng)，是學(xué)生對這幾種基本技能同時(shí)得到訓(xùn)練。

3、教材選文具有多樣性?！冬F(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材克服了傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)理念的缺陷，教材編寫體現(xiàn)了以應(yīng)用為本，聽、說、讀、寫、譯等多位一體的教材設(shè)計(jì)理念，把提高學(xué)生綜合運(yùn)用能力放在首位。該系類教材的指導(dǎo)思想就是在課堂上創(chuàng)造一個(gè)真實(shí)的語言教學(xué)環(huán)境，使學(xué)生得各種語言技能得到充分的訓(xùn)練。教材中覆蓋的詞匯量超過大學(xué)英語四六級(jí)的水平，在教材的使用中學(xué)生強(qiáng)化了對單詞的復(fù)現(xiàn)率，該教材詞匯豐富，詞匯重復(fù)出現(xiàn)有助于強(qiáng)化記憶。閱讀理解的任務(wù)活動(dòng)可以幫助學(xué)生檢測和深化對課文的理解，掌握各種閱讀技巧。在每一章節(jié)的聯(lián)系中還涉及了漢譯英和英譯漢的翻譯練習(xí)，這樣有助于訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的翻譯能力。而且，教材中選取的文章題材多樣，風(fēng)格各異，內(nèi)容豐富，涉及了政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化語言、科技、體育、風(fēng)俗人情等各方面。所以，該教材有利于學(xué)生更好地了解世界文化，培養(yǎng)跨文化意識(shí)和跨文化交際的能力。

總體來說，《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材合理的教學(xué)布局，能夠使學(xué)生的綜合能力得到全面的培養(yǎng),聽、說、讀、寫、譯等各項(xiàng)語言技能在教材中得到了綜合呈現(xiàn),該教材注重語言技能的培養(yǎng)、注重學(xué)生獨(dú)立學(xué)習(xí)能力的提高。但教材中也有一些不足之處，比如關(guān)于綜合技能的整體訓(xùn)練,以及學(xué)習(xí)技能和學(xué)習(xí)策略的建議有些不足。但整體上該教材是目前最適合大學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的一本優(yōu)秀教材。

第四篇：現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀4 第一課翻譯

Thinking as a Hobby 思考作為一種嗜好

還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候我就得出了思考分三種等級(jí)的結(jié)論。后來思考成了嗜好，我進(jìn)而得出了一個(gè)更加離奇的結(jié)論，那就是：我自己根本不會(huì)思考。

那個(gè)時(shí)候我一定是個(gè)很讓大人頭疼的小孩。當(dāng)然我已經(jīng)忘記自己當(dāng)初在他們眼里是什么樣子了,但卻記得他們一開始在我眼中就是如何不可理喻的。第一個(gè)把思考這個(gè)問題帶到我面前的是我文法學(xué)校的校長，當(dāng)然這樣的方式，這樣的結(jié)果是他始料不及的。他的辦公室里有一些小雕像，就在他書桌后面一個(gè)高高的櫥柜上面。其中一位女士除了一條浴巾外一絲不掛。她好象被永遠(yuǎn)地凍結(jié)在對浴巾再往下滑的恐懼中了。而不幸的是她沒有手臂，所以無法把浴巾拉上來。在她的身邊蜷伏著一頭美洲豹，好象隨時(shí)都會(huì)往下跳到檔案櫥柜最上層的抽屜上去，我懵懵懂懂地把那個(gè)抽屜上標(biāo)著的“A-AH”理解成為獵物臨死前絕望的哀鳴/慘叫。在豹子的另一邊端坐著一個(gè)健碩的裸體男子，他手肘支在膝頭，手握拳托著腮幫子，全然一副痛苦不堪的樣子。

過了一些時(shí)候，我對這些雕像有了一些了解,才知道把它們放在正對著犯錯(cuò)的孩子的位置是因?yàn)閷πｉL來說這些雕像象征著整個(gè)生命。那位裸體的女士是米洛斯的維納絲。她象征著愛。她不是在為浴巾擔(dān)心，而是忙著顯示美麗。美洲豹象征著自然，它在那里顯得很自然而已。那位健碩的裸體男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一個(gè)純粹思索的象征。要買到表達(dá)生活在你心中的意義的小石膏像是很容易的事情。

我想我得解釋一下，我是校長辦公室的?？?，為我最近做過或者沒做的事情。用現(xiàn)在的話來說我是不堪教化的。其實(shí)應(yīng)該說，我是頑劣不羈，頭腦迷糊的。大人們從來不講道理。每次在校長桌前接受處罰，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼時(shí)，我就會(huì)垂下頭，在身后緊扣雙手，兩只鞋不停地蹭來蹭去。

校長透過亮晶晶的眼鏡片眼神暗淡地看著我，：“我們該拿你怎么辦呢？”

哦，他們要拿我怎么辦呢？我盯著舊地毯更狠命地蹂躪我的鞋。

“抬起頭來，孩子！你就不能抬起頭來嗎？”

然后我就會(huì)抬起頭來看櫥柜，看著裸體女士被凍結(jié)在恐懼中，健碩的男子無限憂郁地凝視著獵豹的后腿。我跟校長沒什么好說的。他的鏡片反光，所以我看不到鏡片后面有什么人性的東西，所以沒有交流的可能。

“你從來都不動(dòng)腦筋思考的嗎？”

不，我不思考，剛才沒思考，也不會(huì)思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接見結(jié)束。

“那你最好學(xué)一學(xué) —— 你學(xué)了嗎？” 有一次，校長跳起身來伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

“一個(gè)人真正在思考的時(shí)候是這個(gè)樣子的。”

我毫無興趣地看了看桌上的男子，什么也沒弄懂。

“回你班上去?！?/p>

顯然我是缺了點(diǎn)什么。大自然賦予其余的所有的人第六感覺卻獨(dú)獨(dú)漏掉了我。一定是這樣的，在回班上去的路上我想著。因?yàn)闊o論我是打爛了玻璃窗，不記得波義耳法則，還是上學(xué)遲到了，我的老師們都會(huì)千篇一律地得出一個(gè)答案：“你為什么不會(huì)思考呢？”

要我說，我打碎了玻璃窗是因?yàn)槲蚁胗冒迩虼蚪芸?阿尼沒打著；我記不住波義耳法則是因?yàn)槲腋緵]想去記；遲到了是因?yàn)槲腋矚g在橋上看河水。事實(shí)上，我是邪惡的。難道我的老師們是那么的善良，以致于無法理解我的墮落深度？他們是那種心地清澈，不受折磨，憑那神秘的思考指導(dǎo)每一個(gè)行動(dòng)的人？整件事情都是讓人無法理解的。更小一點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，我甚至覺得思索者塑像也是令人迷惑的。我才不相信我的哪位老師思考的時(shí)候是不穿衣服的。我象那些生來耳聾卻決意苦苦尋求聲音的人一樣觀察著我的老師們，想要了解思想。

那時(shí)有位豪頓先生，他總是要我思考。他帶著謙遜的滿足告訴我他自己就動(dòng)過一點(diǎn)腦筋思索過。那么他為什么花那么多時(shí)間酗酒？莫非酗酒其實(shí)比外表看起來更有意義？而如果不是這樣，酗酒事實(shí)上損害健康 —— 豪格先生無疑被酒毀了的 —— 那他為什么還成天談?wù)摷儍舻纳钜约靶迈r空氣的好處？他一邊說一邊還會(huì)象一位常年在山巒間行走的人那樣伸開雙臂，說：

“新鮮空氣對我有好處，孩子們 —— 我知道的！”

有時(shí)候講到興頭上，他會(huì)從講臺(tái)上跳下來，把我們一窩蜂地趕到外頭去。

“現(xiàn)在，孩子們！深呼吸！感覺上帝創(chuàng)造的美好氣流直接進(jìn)入你們的體內(nèi)！”

他會(huì)站在我們面前，為他的健康而欣喜，好象他一個(gè)常進(jìn)行戶外活動(dòng)的人。他會(huì)叉著腰，深深地吸一口氣。你能聽到風(fēng)被他的胸腔堵住，遇到障礙物艱難前進(jìn)發(fā)出的聲音。他的身體因?yàn)椴涣?xí)慣這樣的感覺而搖搖晃晃，臉色變得慘白。他會(huì)步履蹣跚地走回講臺(tái)，然后癱軟在那里，一個(gè)上午都緩不過勁來。

豪頓先生喜歡發(fā)表關(guān)于美好的、清心寡欲、盡職盡責(zé)生活的獨(dú)白。但是在發(fā)表這些獨(dú)白的間隙，如果有個(gè)女孩經(jīng)過窗前，靈巧的小腳發(fā)出輕輕的腳步聲。他就會(huì)停下他的演講，脖子不由自主地扭轉(zhuǎn)過去，一直目送她走出視線之外。在這種情況下，我認(rèn)為他不是受思想，而是受他后頸里某個(gè)看不到卻無法抗拒的發(fā)條的控制。

我對于他的脖子十分感興趣。通常它在領(lǐng)口上方稍稍凸出。但是豪頓先生在第一次世界大戰(zhàn)中曾經(jīng)和美國人和法國人并肩作戰(zhàn)，而且——由于誰也弄不懂的邏輯 —— 對兩個(gè)國家都深惡痛絕。無論這兩個(gè)國家中哪一個(gè)在時(shí)事中表現(xiàn)突出，他都對它沒有好感，任何論證都無法說服他。他會(huì)捶著桌子，脖子脹紅：“你愛怎么說怎么說，”他會(huì)叫道：“但是我已經(jīng)想過這個(gè)問題了，而且我知道我想什么！”

豪頓先生用他的脖子思考。

還有帕森小姐。她要我們相信她最大的愿望是希望我們幸福，但是即使是那個(gè)時(shí)候憑著我小孩子神秘的的直覺我都知道，她最希望得到的是她從未得到過的丈夫。還有漢茲先生 —— 等等。

我要對我的老師們進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的分析是為了介紹一下通常被稱為思想的本質(zhì)。通過他們我發(fā)現(xiàn)思考通常是充滿了無意識(shí)的偏見、無知和虛偽的。在訓(xùn)誡無私的純真的時(shí)候它的脖子卻為了短裙而執(zhí)意扭曲。從技術(shù)上而言，它嫻熟如同商人玩高爾夫，誠實(shí)如同政客的意圖，或者 ——更接近我自己的領(lǐng)域—— 有條理如同大多數(shù)寫出來的書。這就是后來被我稱作第三等級(jí)的思考，雖然事實(shí)上稱它為感覺更為恰當(dāng)。

誠然，偏見里是有無辜的成分，但是在那時(shí)我對第三等級(jí)的思考的態(tài)度是毫不寬容的蔑視和不假思索的嘲笑。我以駁斥一位憎恨德國人卻主張愛我們的敵人的虔誠女士為樂。她讓我懂得了和第三等級(jí)思考者打交道的一個(gè)重大的真理。因?yàn)樗?，我不再輕易地拒絕百分之九十的人可能經(jīng)歷過的精神過程。他們高度地團(tuán)結(jié)一致。我們最好尊重他們，因?yàn)槲覀兲幱谒麄兊陌鼑?，勢單力薄。一大堆第三等?jí)的思考者，眾口一詞，籍著自己的偏見溫暖雙手，他們是不會(huì)感激你指出他們信仰中的矛盾的。人是一種愛群居的動(dòng)物，就象牛喜歡沿著山坡的同一條道路吃草一樣喜愛共識(shí)。

第二個(gè)等級(jí)的思考是對于矛盾的覺察。難倒那位可憐而虔誠的老太太的時(shí)候我達(dá)到了這個(gè)層次。第二等級(jí)的思考者雖然常?；貢?huì)犯另一個(gè)錯(cuò)，落在后面，但他們不會(huì)輕易地被嚇倒。第二等級(jí)思考是一種警醒狀態(tài)下的退縮。這種思考成為我的嗜好，給我?guī)頋M足干的同時(shí)也帶來孤獨(dú)感。因?yàn)榈诙燃?jí)思考具有破壞卻沒有創(chuàng)造的能力。它讓我在冷眼看著人群為國王陛下歡呼的時(shí)候覺得這樣的喧囂不知所謂，卻沒有提供什么可以替代這樣強(qiáng)烈愛國精神。但是這樣的思考還是有好處的。聽人們以狐貍喜歡這樣的待遇為理由為他們捕獵狐貍，把它們撕成碎片的習(xí)慣辯護(hù)，我們的女首相談?wù)撏ㄟ^逮捕尼赫魯和甘地這樣的人跟印度協(xié)商的好處，美國政客們可以剛談完和平轉(zhuǎn)身就拒絕加入國際聯(lián)盟的時(shí)候，是的，還是有令人高興的時(shí)刻的。

但是，當(dāng)我漸漸長大，進(jìn)入青春期以后，我不得不承認(rèn)豪頓先生不是唯一一個(gè)無法抗拒脖子里的發(fā)條的人。我也一樣感覺到了強(qiáng)大的自然之手的力量，開始發(fā)現(xiàn)指出矛盾有可能代價(jià)昂貴，也可能是有趣的。比如說，曾經(jīng)有個(gè)嚴(yán)肅而迷人的姑娘，她的名字叫露絲。那個(gè)時(shí)候我是一個(gè)無神論者。第二等級(jí)的思考對于宗教來說是一種威脅，象九柱游戲里的小柱一樣把宗教流派各個(gè)擊破。我象個(gè)第三等級(jí)的思考者一樣假惺惺地任由她改變我的信仰。她是一個(gè)衛(wèi)理會(huì)會(huì)派教徒 —— 至少，她父母是，因此而露絲也得是。但是，呵呵，露絲沒有用圣靈的精神來轉(zhuǎn)化我，而是愚蠢地用她可愛的小嘴試圖說服我。她聲稱圣經(jīng)（詹姆士國王版）逐字逐句都是得到啟示而來的。我反駁說天主教徒信仰圣杰羅姆的拉丁文圣經(jīng)，而這兩本書是不同的。爭論頓時(shí)卡殼了。最后她說有那么多衛(wèi)理會(huì)會(huì)派教徒，他們不可能是錯(cuò)的，幾百萬的人都錯(cuò)了，可能嗎？這太簡單了，我倔強(qiáng)地說（你越接近露絲，她就越好接近），羅馬天主教徒也為數(shù)眾多，他們也不可能是錯(cuò)的，他們有幾億人，可能都錯(cuò)了嗎？她眼中撲閃著疑慮。我伸手?jǐn)堖^她的腰屏住呼吸低聲說，如果算人數(shù)，我該捐錢給佛教徒。露絲的確是為我好，因?yàn)槲胰诉@么好。但是我的手臂加上那些數(shù)不勝數(shù)的佛教徒實(shí)在讓她無法忍受了。

那天晚上，她父親來拜訪我父親，走的時(shí)候一副面紅耳赤，義憤填膺的樣子。我為發(fā)生過的事情受到了盤問。幸好我們當(dāng)時(shí)都才十四歲。我失去了露絲，卻冤枉地?fù)?dān)上了準(zhǔn)浪子的名聲。

所以第二等級(jí)思考可能會(huì)是危險(xiǎn)的。我記得我是在十五歲的時(shí)候了解到了這一點(diǎn)后從第二等級(jí)的高度對第三等級(jí)的局限性作出了一番評論。一天晚上，我一個(gè)人來到學(xué)校的禮堂為一個(gè)聚會(huì)做準(zhǔn)備。校長室的門是開著的。我走了進(jìn)去。校長已經(jīng)不再把洛丁的思考者重重地板在桌上作為年輕人的榜樣了。也許是因?yàn)樗麤]有找到更多的侯選者，那些雕像還在老地方，在那櫥柜頂上白晃晃的落滿塵埃。我站在一把椅子上把他們進(jìn)行了重新的排列。我把披著浴巾的維納斯放在檔案櫥柜上，這樣頂層抽屜就接住了她在性感的騷動(dòng)中發(fā)出的喘息：“A-ah!”那個(gè)怪異的思考者，我把它放到了櫥柜邊緣，這樣他好象在朝下盯著那條浴巾，等待著它掉下來。

第二等級(jí)思考雖然讓生活充滿了樂趣和興奮，卻無法令人滿足。尋找比我們年長的人的缺陷助長了年輕的自我，卻無法讓人覺得安全。我發(fā)現(xiàn)第二等級(jí)不僅是指出矛盾的力量。它帶著游泳者離開岸游了一段距離，然后把他留在那里，束手無策。我判定本丟.彼拉多就是典型的第二等級(jí)思考者。“什么是真理？”他問道，一種十分常見卻總出現(xiàn)在爭論的末尾而不是開頭的第二等級(jí)思考m 67。還有更高一級(jí)的思索問過“什么是真理？”后就開始去尋找它。

但這些第一等級(jí)思考者是十分罕見的。他們沒有親自來我的文法學(xué)校但卻藏在書籍里。我向往他們是因?yàn)槲倚坌牟?，因?yàn)槲椰F(xiàn)在發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的嗜好如果不能更進(jìn)一步就不能令人滿意。如果你出發(fā)去爬山，不論你爬了多高，只要沒到頂就不算成功。

在牛津讀大學(xué)一年級(jí)的時(shí)候我就真的碰到過一個(gè)第一等級(jí)的思考者。當(dāng)時(shí)我在麥格德林鹿公園的一座小橋上往下看。一個(gè)小個(gè)子蓄著胡子戴著帽子的人走過來站到我身邊。他是從納粹德國逃到牛津來暫時(shí)避難的，他的名字是愛因斯坦。

但那個(gè)時(shí)候愛因斯坦教授還不懂英文，而我只知道德文的幾個(gè)單詞。我向他微笑，想以這樣無聲的方式向他傳達(dá)所有英國人對他的友愛和尊敬。有可能——我得承認(rèn) ——我覺得此刻是兩個(gè)第一等級(jí)思考者肩并肩站著。然而我懷疑我的表情所傳達(dá)的不僅僅是一種無形的敬畏。我愿意用我懂得的希臘語、拉丁文、法語和大部分的英語來換取足夠的德語來跟他交流?？墒俏覀儏s咫尺天涯，他象我的校長一樣不可理解。我們一塊在橋上站了大約五分鐘，不可否認(rèn)是作為一個(gè)第一等級(jí)思考者和心情激動(dòng)的景仰者。真不愧是偉人，愛因斯坦教授意識(shí)到任何聯(lián)系都比沒有好。指著河里游動(dòng)著的一條鮭魚。他說：“魚?！?/p>

我的頭腦一陣暈眩。我在這里，和偉人并肩，卻和真正的第三等級(jí)思考者一樣無助。我拼命想作出點(diǎn)表示，告訴他我也一樣尊重純粹的推理。我不住地點(diǎn)頭。然后忽然靈光乍現(xiàn)，我用掉了我一半的德語詞匯說道“魚，是的，是的?！?/p>

我們肩并肩站了大約五分鐘。然后愛因斯坦教授飄然而去, 身形間仍然洋溢著善意和親切。

我也可以成為第一等級(jí)思考者的。即使在人生最得意的時(shí)候我也是心無掛礙的。政治和宗教系統(tǒng)、社會(huì)風(fēng)俗、忠誠和傳統(tǒng)，都象腐爛的蘋果紛紛從樹上掉落下來。這是一個(gè)很好的嗜好，板球的明智替代品，因?yàn)槟阋荒晁募径伎梢赃M(jìn)行思考。最后我想出了為第一等級(jí)思考辯護(hù)永遠(yuǎn)的理由：它的標(biāo)志、印記和章程。我設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)連貫的生活體系。這是一個(gè)道德體系，完全合乎邏輯的道德體系。當(dāng)然，我很樂意承認(rèn)，要世界按我的思考方式轉(zhuǎn)化將是困難的，因?yàn)槲业捏w系廢除了諸如大公司、中央政府、軍隊(duì)、婚姻等等之類的瑣事。

又是露絲的問題。我曾有一些很要好的朋友站在我這邊，他們現(xiàn)在仍然站在我這邊。但是我的熟人都不見了，帶著他們的女孩子消失了。姑娘們好象對世界的現(xiàn)狀出奇的滿意。她們用一只戒指來衡量那個(gè)毫無意義的儀式。小伙子一方面愿意對婚姻帶來的一連串可悲的后果讓步，同時(shí)也舍不得放棄有希望給他們提供一份事業(yè)的組織機(jī)構(gòu)。有一個(gè)在皇家海軍當(dāng)下等兵的年輕人，對于不要大公司和婚姻樂意之至，但是一聽我提議要一個(gè)沒有戰(zhàn)艦的世界時(shí)他的脖子跟豪頓先生一樣脹得通紅。

游戲太過火了？它還是游戲嗎？在戰(zhàn)前的那段日子，為了這個(gè)嗜好我固執(zhí)地失去了很多東西。

現(xiàn)在你一定指望我描述我如何認(rèn)識(shí)到了我自己路線的荒謬回到溫暖的小巢了吧，回到那偏見常常被稱為忠誠，無謂的行為因?yàn)橹貜?fù)被神圣化為風(fēng)俗的小巢里，滿足于把感覺說成思考。

但是，你錯(cuò)了。我把我的嗜好變成了職業(yè)。

如果我還回到校長室里而那些雕像還在那里，我會(huì)重新安排它們的位置。我會(huì)撣掉維納斯身上的灰塵,因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)了解她美好的本質(zhì)，開始喜愛她了。但是我會(huì)把陷入沉思的思考者放到背光的位置，而在他身后，放上那頭蜷伏著準(zhǔn)備撲上來的美洲豹。
