Theme related writing Write a passage in about 100-120 words, taking either of the following titles: Why I like to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say that I am highly motivated to master English.First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English.If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them.Secondly, I like traveling a lot.A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world.Finally, I like literature a lot.If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.(118 words)Why I hate to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it.First of all, learning English is boring.I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words.Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language.I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China.Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read.So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.(121 words)

2)I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day.I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have — a new pair of shoes or some new clothes.Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river.My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour.I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.(139 words)2.Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager.When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.My father is a well-known carpenter in my village.I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers.He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge.All the villagers respected him.They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father.I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.(116 words)

Theme Related Writing Write a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.a.I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert.I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I.When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me.I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent.In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot.Maybe being happy is the attraction.I like bright colours, especially red.It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy.I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time.So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.(141words)

b.The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother.He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven.He is a high achiever.Since young, he has done well in his studies and work.For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England.Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding.He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards.What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky.He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries.His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.(131 words)c.If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person.I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with what they have.They seldom let sadness be a part of their life.I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy.I also would like to be creative.I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.(131 words)

d.Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them.I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next.His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her.Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves.There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends.If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.(143 words)Unit 4 Enhance Your Language Awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1）1.They were smashing windows when the police arrived.2.70,000 tons of oil spilled from the tanker(油輪)and the sea was polluted.3.She volunteered to write an explanation of how the new computer system works.4.The book was inspired by the good deeds(事跡)of a real person.5.It was blowing hard and very soon the tree in front of my house fell with a great crash.6.The police report stated that he was once arrested for theft.7.The Dean(系主任)is not available at the moment, but you may call back in an hour.8.Up to two million people there are dependent on food aid.9.It was most unfortunate that I missed the chance to be interviewed by the company director.10.Can we find a mutually convenient time for us to meet?

Thanks to medical advances and better living conditions, most of us can live longer.The issue of where we will stay when we get old has become a concern for everyone.I did a survey last week on “Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?” Of the ten people surveyed, seven said “yes.” According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of.The three who don't want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded upon on the other.Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.(147 words.)Unit 5 Enhance your language awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.When we finally completed our courses, all my classmates gathered together to celebrate.2.I have always wanted to be a psychologist, but a recent incident changed my mind.3.It is not difficult at all.You can get it done with ease.4.To be a good research student, you must have a mind for inquiry.5.I could see her genuine concern for my health and I was deeply touched.6.The boss’s fear of change becomes an obstacle to the progress of the organization.7.Please keep stirring the oil to stop it from getting frozen.8.I am most grateful to you for all the help you have offered us.2)1.senior

M: You better start working!Our boss will come any moment!

W: I’ve already seen her.And I’m doing what she told me to do.M: She told you to sit around and do nothing?

W: No!She told me to rack my brain for creativity.M: What?

W: To rack your brain for creativity means that you think hard for a creative answer to a problem.Before I start my work, I want to think of the best idea possible.When it flashes into my mind, I’ll begin.M: Hey, that’s what I was doing last week!But when she saw me doing it, she threatened to fire me!

W: No.You weren’t thinking of ideas.You were just sleeping.There’s a big difference.M: Oh.What problems are you trying to solve now?

W: Actually, our boss told me to think of a way to tell lazy employees that they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t work harder.(Words: 150)

P117AudioScript

Do you think that creative ideas come easily, that they just flash into the mind without hard work? Hardly!Sure, creative ideas come all of a sudden.But the fact remains that those sudden thoughts most often come after a person has worked, studied, and tried several other solutions to whatever question he is trying to answer.Most often, even after he has come up with his creative idea, the person will have to test it and then think more about it.Sometimes this can take decades.If you want to invent a creative idea of your own, you must be active!Learn as much as possible and try out many solutions.After trying out countless other ideas, the perfect, most creative idea will certainly come to you.(Words: 128)

All kids are born creative.But,when fiven the choice,many of today’s children do not invent fu,Why?Because kids are kept busy.After_school rograms,sports teams,and hone work keep kids from truble and boredom,But boredom is often the first Step to inventing fun.Spare time is the ground where ideals grow.When kids do have free time,television,video games and computers give them instant enjoyment,Such entertainment locks kids into someone eles’s ideals and keeps them away from exploring their own creations.As Joyce Myers has said,a pencil and an imagination can take you anywhere.Schools are under great pressure to prepare kids to test well,Many teachers I talk to wonder how a child will learn to think creativity if there is little time for open-ended problems.Parents,as well,often focus on final results.We cherish thje finishes painting over the pages of messy sketches.What is the problem with many children today?What is the ground where ideals grow?What provides with the most enjoyment in their spare time?Why was Joyce Myers mentioned in the passage?What does the speaker think schools and parents should do?

新世紀(jì)大學(xué)英語閱讀教程翻譯

Unit 1

塞克哈爾覺得，事實(shí)就像太陽一樣。大概沒有誰能直視太陽而不眨眼，不覺眩暈。他發(fā)覺人際關(guān)系的精髓在于時(shí)時(shí)刻刻調(diào)和事實(shí)，避免沖突。他設(shè)定了一個(gè)特殊的日子——一年中至少有一天無論如何必須說實(shí)話。否則生命還有什么意義。他對(duì)這一天充滿無數(shù)期待，也沒有告訴任何人要做這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)。這是個(gè)秘密的決定，一件永遠(yuǎn)不為人知的事。首次嘗試便從妻子準(zhǔn)備的早餐開始。他對(duì)一道美味舉筷不定，這可是妻子自認(rèn)為的廚中之冠?！霸趺蠢?？不好吃嗎？”她問道。要是往常，為了照顧她的情緒，他肯定說：“沒有，我吃飽了而已?！笨山裉焖麉s說：“不好吃。我咽不下去?！笨吹狡拮用碱^緊鎖，他對(duì)自己說：“沒辦法，事實(shí)就像太陽一樣?！?/p>

第二次嘗試是在教師休息室，一個(gè)同事走過來說：“某某死了聽說了嗎？覺得很遺憾吧?！薄安挥X得，”賽克哈爾回答?！八拇_是個(gè)好人??”另一個(gè)還沒說完。塞克哈爾就搶過來說：“好什么啊，對(duì)我他可是個(gè)刻薄、自私的家伙?！?/p>

塞克哈爾給三年級(jí)A班上最后一節(jié)地理課時(shí)，收到校長(zhǎng)遞來的便條：回家前請(qǐng)過來一趟。他自言自語道：“肯定是那些可怕的試卷。一百多份字跡潦草的男生的試卷；他已經(jīng)消極怠工幾個(gè)禮拜了，感覺頭頂像是懸了一把利劍，隨時(shí)都有刺下來的可能?！?/p>

下課鈴響起，孩子們潮水般涌出教室。塞克哈爾在校長(zhǎng)門口停了會(huì)兒，扣好上衣扣子；扣子也是校長(zhǎng)經(jīng)常訓(xùn)誡的目標(biāo)。

他進(jìn)了門，彬彬有禮地說了句：“晚上好，校長(zhǎng)。” 校長(zhǎng)抬起頭看著他，十分友善地問道：“今晚有空嗎？” 塞克哈爾回答：“答應(yīng)過家里的孩子要出去??” “那，可以改天再帶他們出去?，F(xiàn)在跟我回家?！?/p>

“噢??好的，校長(zhǎng)，當(dāng)然沒問題??”然后怯生生地問：“有什么要緊事嗎，校長(zhǎng)？” “是的，”校長(zhǎng)回答，像是在對(duì)自己笑??“你真的不知道我缺乏音樂天賦嗎？” “噢，知道，校長(zhǎng)??”

“我一直在偷偷地學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)，今晚想讓你聽聽我演唱。我約好了一個(gè)鼓手和一個(gè)小提琴手為我伴奏。這還是我的第一次正式演出，想聽聽你的建議。我知道你的建議彌足珍貴?！?塞克哈爾的音樂品味無人不知。他是小鎮(zhèn)里最令人生畏的音樂評(píng)論人。可他怎么也沒想到，他的音樂愛好將它引入這層磨難???！皩?duì)你來說，有點(diǎn)突然是吧？”校長(zhǎng)問?！拔乙呀?jīng)關(guān)上門花了不知道多少錢??”他們開始往校長(zhǎng)家走?！吧系蹧]能給我一個(gè)孩子，可至少?zèng)]有剝奪音樂給我的慰藉，”他們邊走校長(zhǎng)邊悲戚戚地說。他喋喋不休地說著音樂的事：如何完全因打發(fā)無聊起步；如何被音樂老師取笑，又被給予希望；他人生的雄心壯志又是如何在音樂的世界里達(dá)到忘我的境界。

一到家，校長(zhǎng)就大獻(xiàn)殷勤。他請(qǐng)塞克哈爾坐在紅絲毯上，敬上幾樣碟中美味，在旁邊忙來忙去像是招待上門女婿。他甚至說：“你務(wù)必完全放松去聽。別為那些試卷煩心?！比缓蟛粺o幽默的加了一句：“我會(huì)給你一周的時(shí)間。” “十天怎么樣，校長(zhǎng)？”塞克哈爾請(qǐng)求。

“好，同意，”校長(zhǎng)慷慨地說。塞克哈爾徹底松了口氣——他可以一天干掉十份，徹底除掉這件煩心事。

校長(zhǎng)點(diǎn)上熏香?！盃I造點(diǎn)氣氛?！彼忉屨f。鼓手和小提琴手已經(jīng)到位，坐在緬甸仰光進(jìn)口的小毯子上等他。校長(zhǎng)在兩人中間坐下來，像音樂會(huì)專業(yè)演出一般，清清喉嚨，起了調(diào)子又停下來問：“可以嗎，卡亞尼？（塞克哈爾的姓）”塞克哈爾假裝沒聽到校長(zhǎng)叫他。校長(zhǎng)繼續(xù)了，唱了一整首提亞咖拉迦（印度作曲家）譜寫的歌曲，接下來又唱了兩首。從校長(zhǎng)一開唱，塞克哈爾就開始在心里默默評(píng)論他：“一會(huì)兒像是一群青蛙在呱呱叫。一會(huì)兒 又像是水牛在哞哞叫。現(xiàn)在則聽起來像是暴風(fēng)雨中搖曳的破窗戶扇子?！?熏香快燒完了。塞克哈爾腦袋的劇痛也隨著混雜的樂聲顫抖起來，這聲音至今已經(jīng)侵襲他的耳鼓幾個(gè)小時(shí)了。他感覺已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)不省人事。校長(zhǎng)的聲音近乎嘶啞，他停下來問道：“還要繼續(xù)嗎？” 塞克哈爾感到他真是個(gè)無比可憐的家伙。可他也無能為力。他此時(shí)比任何即將宣判罪狀的法官都感覺痛苦和無奈。塞克哈爾發(fā)覺校長(zhǎng)的妻子從廚房往這邊偷偷張望，一臉的好奇。鼓手和小提琴手終于卸下包袱，松了口氣。校長(zhǎng)摘下眼鏡，抹了把眉毛，問道：“現(xiàn)在說說你的看法吧。”

“我可以明天說嘛，校長(zhǎng)？” 塞克哈爾試探著問。“不行。我馬上要聽——你坦誠的看法。唱的好嗎？” “不好，校長(zhǎng)??” 塞克哈爾回答?！班?！??還有必要繼續(xù)上音樂課嗎？”

“完全沒必要了，校長(zhǎng)??”塞克哈爾說，聲音有些顫抖。他因?yàn)樽约翰荒苷f的更為緩和而有些難過。事實(shí)，他想，不管說出來還是接受都需要同樣的勇氣。

回家的路上塞克哈爾憂心忡忡。他感覺職業(yè)生涯從今以后不可能一帆風(fēng)順了。諸多疑問，比如漲工資、考評(píng)等等都去取決于校長(zhǎng)的意愿。各種各樣的憂慮似乎在前面等著他??哈里什昌德拉國王失去了王位、后妃和子嗣，就因?yàn)樗麩o論面對(duì)任何情形都只堅(jiān)持說真話。

回到家，妻子一臉的慍怒。他清楚妻子還在因?yàn)樵缟系氖律鷼?。今天發(fā)生了兩大災(zāi)難，塞克哈爾想。要是這樣繼續(xù)一個(gè)禮拜，可能一個(gè)朋友都沒了。

第二天，他在教室接到校長(zhǎng)的電話。他站了起來，心提到了嗓子眼。

“你的建議很有用。我已經(jīng)結(jié)清了音樂老師的工資。音樂的事，這些天沒人愿意告訴我真話。我一把年紀(jì)的人，干么還瞎折騰呢。謝謝你。對(duì)了，試卷批得怎么樣了？” “你給了我十天時(shí)間的，校長(zhǎng)。十天批好?！?/p>

“噢，我重新考慮過了。明天必須給我送過來??”一天批完一百份試卷！這意味著要通宵不能睡覺！“再寬限幾天吧，校長(zhǎng)??”

“不行。明天務(wù)必給我送來。記住，每份試卷都必須一絲不茍的批改?！?/p>

“遵命，校長(zhǎng)，”賽哈克爾回答，覺得通宵批完一百份試卷就是為這次奢侈的真心話實(shí)驗(yàn)而付出的小小代價(jià)。

Unit 3 1在普利茅斯灣有一個(gè)迷人的年輕女人名叫哈麗特magnis航海的小鎮(zhèn)。她有一個(gè)癡迷。她想要一個(gè)孩子為她的丈夫。地球上所有的東西，她想要一個(gè)孩子李察。但她不能有一個(gè)。2強(qiáng)迫觀念驅(qū)使人去做各種奇怪的事情。哈麗特magnis的癡迷使她犯了一個(gè)在歷史上最奇怪的犯罪。

3李察是英國皇家海軍的一名炮手。甚至盡管他在兩或三年在一片海，家里只有幾天時(shí)間，哈里特愛他深深地和她的悲慘的失敗給了他一個(gè)孩子，她經(jīng)常在。更糟糕的是，她擔(dān)心她的丈夫會(huì)在他的旅行中找到一些其他的女人，一個(gè)能給他什么，她將永遠(yuǎn)離開她。4但這一天，當(dāng)她給她的丈夫?qū)懶艜r(shí)，她說：“我親愛的，上帝終于對(duì)我們微笑了！我終于和孩子在一起了！你回家的時(shí)候，我們的孩子將被出世，你將你的父親總是wante4d它是?！泵芊庠谝粋€(gè)信封里的信，她解決它的下一個(gè)港口，她丈夫的船會(huì)觸及，她把它帶到郵局。5只有一件事是錯(cuò)誤的。哈麗特沒有懷孕。她對(duì)她的丈夫撒謊了一個(gè)原因。她的信將在圣誕節(jié)到達(dá)他。她想讓他快樂！月過去了。從她出走的丈夫寄來的一封信。那孩子來了嗎？是男孩還是女孩？ 6她現(xiàn)在告訴他真相，這將拯救哈麗特，但她不能那樣做。這會(huì)傷害他太多。所以她說孩子已經(jīng)來了，這是一個(gè)男孩。當(dāng)她丈夫回家的時(shí)候她會(huì)做什么，想看看他的兒子。哈麗特顯然不知道。她很擔(dān)心這是一個(gè)偉大的交易，那么當(dāng)她得知她丈夫的船在幾天內(nèi)回家時(shí)，她就很擔(dān)心了。

7李察的船來了，哈麗特沖到樸茨茅斯去見他?！拔业膬鹤釉谀睦?？“他喊道。哈麗特思維速度快。“哦，親愛的，”她說?！拔覜]想到你這么快。醫(yī)生覺得海邊的空氣對(duì)他不好，所以我把他留在他的祖父母在蘇塞克斯郡。”

8她清楚地知道，李察會(huì)在港口只有幾天時(shí)間，沒有足夠長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間讓他去蘇塞克斯。所以她是安全的時(shí)間是。下次他回家時(shí)，她還有另一個(gè)借口。下一次，還有另一個(gè)。但他越來越懷疑。他沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他根本沒有孩子。他只懷疑她藏了孩子，因?yàn)槟鞘橇硪粋€(gè)人的，所以他就把律法放在哈麗特。下一次他回家時(shí)，他會(huì)看到他的兒子----沒有任何理由會(huì)被接受。9可憐的哈麗特！她的謊言讓她變成了真正的深水。她succe4eded欺騙了他三年，但現(xiàn)在她知道她必須產(chǎn)生一個(gè)三歲的男孩看起來像李察，或者把真相給他。于是哈麗特踏上了一個(gè)奇妙的計(jì)劃。她會(huì)偷一個(gè)孩子。有沒有可能找到只是她想在戈斯波特小鎮(zhèn)，所以她去倫敦。在那里，一天又一天，她走過的街道尋找她有孩子。同時(shí)，查爾斯夫人去了倫敦的一個(gè)同事眼前的醫(yī)生，她帶著她的兩個(gè)孩子：一個(gè)小女孩，瑪麗，五，和一個(gè)男孩，托馬斯，三。當(dāng)她到醫(yī)生的辦公室，她讓孩子們?cè)谒陿窍隆ｋs貨店老板的妻子，瑪麗考克斯，答應(yīng)去看他們。

10十五分鐘后，哈麗特來了，在門口停了一下。她停了下來，盯著小托馬斯德洛。令人難以置信的是，孩子不僅是合適的年齡，但他卻像極了李察magnis！五分鐘后瑪麗考克斯發(fā)現(xiàn)男孩失蹤了。警方被通知。一個(gè)全國性的搜索開始，傳單遍布全國。早在戈斯波特，哈麗特驕傲地把小托馬斯去樸茨茅斯看他爸爸的船來了。李察是多么高興！一個(gè)兒子！最后！在他離開的日子里，他生活在狂喜中，從未夢(mèng)想過真相。然后他又出海了，還不知道。但他離開后，哈里特變得恐慌，尤其是當(dāng)鄰居們開始提問關(guān)于她的“孩子”，甚至更多，所以當(dāng)通緝告示出現(xiàn)在當(dāng)?shù)剜]局的突然出現(xiàn)。充滿了恐懼和悔恨，現(xiàn)在，她帶著小托馬斯同事回到倫敦，離開了他在警察局前面逃走了。然后她坐下來給她的丈夫?qū)懥艘环忾L(zhǎng)信，告訴他真相。在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候，這封信是交給李察的船，但不是給他。在他的焦慮再次見到他的兒子，李察跳船，擅離職守（擅離職守）。他的妻子的信，承認(rèn)一切，被交付給船長(zhǎng)，而不是李察。認(rèn)為它可能會(huì)提供一些線索，李察的缺席，他打開它。

11哈麗特magnis被捕并接受審判在漢普郡巡回審判。但法官判定，由于在新罕布什爾州沒有犯下的罪行，法院沒有管轄權(quán)。所以哈麗特被釋放了，再也沒有嘗試過。法官可能比任何人都更了解一點(diǎn)。他自己的妻子也無法忍受孩子。她也有一個(gè)癡迷。但她卻犯了自殺，而不是偷別人的孩子。

Unit 4 我對(duì)姑祖母史提菲娜·魯斯向來心存敬畏。事實(shí)上，我們小時(shí)候顯然都很畏懼她。她不跟家里人住一起，情愿孤零零一個(gè)人住在鄉(xiāng)間的小屋里，也不愿住在舒適但有些喧鬧的家里---我們長(zhǎng)大的地方，這一點(diǎn)更是增強(qiáng)了我們對(duì)她原本就有的敬畏之情。她從來不擁抱我們。只是打個(gè)招呼，然后用她那美麗卻冰涼的手牽著我們熱乎乎的小手，她手背上青筋突起，似乎要撐破那脆弱的皮膚。隨著年事漸長(zhǎng)，我驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)，居然對(duì)這位冷漠的姑祖母產(chǎn)生了十足的好感。直到今天，我依然不知道當(dāng)時(shí)出于什么莫名的沖動(dòng)，竟讓帶著喬治去見她，還告訴她我們訂婚的事，當(dāng)然之前我可任何人都沒告訴過。讓我感到意外的是，她十分的欣喜。

“是英國人啊，”她驚呼?！罢媸翘袅?，太棒了。你，”她轉(zhuǎn)向喬治，“你要在這里安家嗎？不打算再回英國了嗎？”

聽到喬治已在我們農(nóng)場(chǎng)附近也購置一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)，準(zhǔn)備定居在南非時(shí)，她似乎松了口氣，變得歡快起來，和喬治拉閑聊起來。

她對(duì)我的愛情還是憂心忡忡，總問一些看似奇怪的問題，隱約覺得她似乎在擔(dān)心會(huì)有什么破壞這樁婚姻的事情發(fā)生。讓我猝不及防的是，當(dāng)我向她提起喬治考慮在結(jié)婚前臨時(shí)返回英國一趟時(shí)，她突然情緒失控?！敖^不能讓他回去，”她喊道。“伊娜，你千萬不能讓他回去。答應(yīng)我一定要阻止他?！彼郎喩戆l(fā)抖。我使出渾身解數(shù)來安慰她，她看起來還是那么疲憊、臉色蒼白。我說服她回房間休息，答應(yīng)明天回來看她。

第二天再來時(shí)，看到她坐在屋前的門廊上。她顯得如此孤獨(dú)和悲涼，那是我第一次感到疑惑，為何沒有男人愿意娶她，照顧她，愛憐她呢。母親曾告訴過我，姑祖母年輕時(shí)出落得楚楚動(dòng)人，現(xiàn)如今除了那雙褐色的眸子還殘留著曾經(jīng)的風(fēng)韻外，昔日的美貌早已不見了蹤影。盡管如此，她還是那么嬌小玲瓏、惹人愛憐，凡是男人見了，都難免心生憐香惜玉之情。她欲言又止，似乎不知從何說起。接著她仿佛又在心底振作了起來?！澳憧隙ㄔ诩{悶，”她說，“為什么我聽說喬治要離開你回英國會(huì)很難過。我老了，或許老了就會(huì)胡思亂想，可我必須告訴你我的愛情故事，聽完后你再來決定讓未婚夫在結(jié)婚前離開究竟是不是個(gè)明智之舉?！?/p>

第一次邂逅理查德·維斯頓時(shí)我還是一個(gè)少女。他是英國人，借宿在附近農(nóng)場(chǎng)的范·倫斯堡家里，離我家有四五英里遠(yuǎn)。理查德身體虛弱，因?yàn)樾姆喂δ懿缓?，醫(yī)生送他到南非，希望這里干燥空氣能治好他。他是范·倫斯堡家孩子們的家庭教師，我比那些孩子年長(zhǎng)一些，可經(jīng)常跟他們一起玩。理查德僅僅以此為樂，并非為了賺錢。

我們雖然一見鐘情，但直到我十八歲生日那晚才相互傾訴衷腸。所有的親朋好友都來赴會(huì)，那晚我們?cè)诠葌}鋪上一條寬大的舊地毯，在上面翩翩起舞。理查德和范·倫斯堡一家一起過來，我們一有機(jī)會(huì)就斗膽共舞，實(shí)際上機(jī)會(huì)并不多，因?yàn)槲腋赣H討厭在南非的外國人。事實(shí)上，他曾一度跟范·倫斯堡家發(fā)生過口角，起因就是他們留宿了理查德。后來父親漸漸接受了事實(shí)，盡管始終心有芥蒂，對(duì)這位英國人也還總是客客氣氣的。

那是我一生中最快樂的一個(gè)生日，因?yàn)槔聿榈略谔璧拈g歇時(shí)間，把我叫到外面，就在那個(gè)清涼宜人、月光皎潔的夜幕中，在漫天星斗的注視下，他向我表達(dá)了愛意，并向我求婚。我當(dāng)然答應(yīng)了他，當(dāng)時(shí)我早被幸福沖昏了頭腦，根本沒有考慮父母會(huì)怎么想，或者根本什么也沒有想。有一天，理查德沒有出現(xiàn)在約定的地方。我很失落但并不驚奇，因?yàn)橛刑嗟氖虑榭赡馨l(fā)生，導(dǎo)致我們不能如期赴約。我想下次拜訪范·倫斯堡家時(shí)，我就可以知道他究竟為何爽約，也可以繼續(xù)約定以后的幽會(huì)??

“于是當(dāng)父親問我是否愿意一起驅(qū)車前往德里方丹時(shí)，我高興極了。”然而，當(dāng)我們到達(dá)范·倫斯堡家，坐在門廊里喝咖啡時(shí)，卻聽說理查德已匆匆離開，回到英國去了。他父親死了，他作為繼承人必須回去料理遺產(chǎn)。

“那天的事我大多不記得了，只記得太陽似乎變得暗淡無光，田野也風(fēng)采盡失，沒了往日欣欣向榮的景象，盡是慘淡和荒涼之感，蕭瑟凄涼得跟冬天或大旱時(shí)一樣。那天午后的晚些時(shí)候，霍但托特族的小牧童詹杰交給我一封信，說是英國老爺留給我的。那是我收到的唯一一封情書，讓我的所有的心酸和悲傷歸于平靜，也是我最最接近幸福的感覺。我知道理查德依然愛我，不管怎樣，有了這封信在，就算他在英國，我不得不留在農(nóng)場(chǎng)，我感覺我們也始終未曾分開過。我現(xiàn)在還保留著這封信，盡管已經(jīng)年老體衰，這封信還能給我以希望和勇氣?！?/p>

“姑祖母，這封情書肯定寫的很精彩吧，”我說。老太太從遙遠(yuǎn)的愛情美夢(mèng)中回過神來?！耙苍S吧，”她說，猶豫了一下，“也許，親愛的，你想看看那封信嗎？”

“我樂意之極，姑祖母，”我輕聲回答。

她立即起身，疾步走進(jìn)小屋，像個(gè)急匆匆的少女。她回來時(shí)，遞給我一封信，由于天長(zhǎng)日久，信封早已褪色發(fā)黃，邊角也已磨損，似乎是經(jīng)受過無數(shù)次的撫摸。我正要打開時(shí)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)封印完好如初。

“拆開，拆開，”姑祖母催促道，聲音顫抖。我揭下封印，念了起來。

嚴(yán)格來說，這算不上是一封情書，實(shí)際上是幾頁安排詳盡的逃跑指南，指導(dǎo)“我摯愛的菲娜”如何逃脫父親的監(jiān)視，趁夜黑逃離家門到淺灘，詹杰會(huì)備好馬匹跟她碰頭，然后將她馱到史密斯多普，在那里投靠“我的至交亨利·威爾森”，他會(huì)出錢安排她追隨愛人的足跡到達(dá)開普敦，經(jīng)此前往英國?！霸谟?，親愛的，我們立刻結(jié)為夫妻。但是，我的摯愛，假如你不確信自己能在異國他鄉(xiāng)與我一道生活，就不要采取這個(gè)重大行動(dòng)，因?yàn)槲覑勰阒辽睿辉改憬?jīng)受一絲的不快。倘若你不能前往，或者我未能收到你的回信，我就會(huì)知道，你遠(yuǎn)離自己深愛的國家和親人是無法得到幸福的。然而，倘若你覺得還可以堅(jiān)守承諾，但由于膽怯不敢只身面對(duì)前往英國的跋涉，就回信給我。我會(huì)想方設(shè)法回來迎娶我的新娘?！?/p>

我沒有再念下去。

“可是，姑祖母！”我聲音急促地問道?！盀槭裁??為什么??”

老太太迫注視著我，因迫切想知道下文而渾身顫抖，她面頰緋紅，雙目神采奕奕充滿期待?！按舐暷?，親愛的，”她說?！耙蛔忠痪湮叶家?。我當(dāng)時(shí)找不到可以信賴的人??南非的外國人在我年輕的那段歲月是被人深惡痛絕的??我不敢找人幫忙?！?“可是，姑祖母，他信里寫的這些你難道都不知道嗎”

老太太低下了頭，像個(gè)不小心做了錯(cuò)事的孩子一樣，既不安又羞愧。

“不知道，親愛的，”她回答，聲音極其微弱?！澳阒赖?，我從來沒有讀過書呀?！?/p>

外面天還黑著，我的呼吸像漂浮在寒冷的空氣寒冷的云。我為自己感到難過。有一個(gè)原因，他們稱之為“老鼠賽跑。

一天又一天，同一個(gè)古老的東西。在陽光下的房子。一個(gè)半小時(shí)的通勤到辦公室。八到九個(gè)小時(shí)的工作，然后在同一個(gè)通勤回家，仍然是黑暗的外部。短短的幾天，我就納悶：白天太陽出來了嗎？我不確定了，如果是，我一定錯(cuò)過了。

我走到火車站，在那個(gè)凄涼的星期一早晨。我的一個(gè)星期在我面前像一個(gè)深黑色的洞。本周可能是新的，但我感覺老和破舊的。短暫的周末休息還不提供救濟(jì)，洗衣，堆積起來，不提超市、干洗店和無數(shù)其他跑腿，吃到什么被認(rèn)為是我們的家人在一起的時(shí)間。我們幾乎沒有機(jī)會(huì)的時(shí)候還沒定鬧鐘，本周開始再次很快地玩拼字游戲?；疖囉滞睃c(diǎn)了。任何嘗試放松的想法很快被記憶的堆的紙坐在我的桌子上。這么多的事，和天是從來沒有足夠長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。我調(diào)整了我周圍的人群開始精神通過排序的優(yōu)先級(jí)就招手，當(dāng)我到達(dá)辦公室。電子郵件和傳真，報(bào)告和會(huì)議。這一天會(huì)很充實(shí)，因?yàn)檫@是本周初的開始。我畏縮了一下，我常常想起我把事情“下周直到。“嗯，“下周”在這里。自注：思考明天的事情”“可能曾為斯嘉麗奧哈拉，但它只創(chuàng)造了我的悲傷。

轉(zhuǎn)移人群把我?guī)У搅四且豢?。火車進(jìn)站了，而部隊(duì)的乘客是一個(gè)頭腦：搶一個(gè)空座位在任何費(fèi)用。男女機(jī)會(huì)平等的推動(dòng)者，推動(dòng)彼此的平臺(tái)邊緣。即使我讓自己被橫掃，我也決心抓住第一個(gè)可用的座位，我可以找到。我緊緊抓住我的公文包，把我的公文包推到了其中，并獲得了我的獎(jiǎng)品。坐在一些文書工作上，我會(huì)得到一個(gè)跳躍，也許是一個(gè)備忘錄或2個(gè)。任何一開始都會(huì)有幫助。

這是我的生活惡化到什么？我的一天最精彩的是，我在火車上坐了一個(gè)座位嗎？當(dāng)然，我的目標(biāo)是更大的比。我們工作很辛苦，我丈夫和我。我們的目標(biāo)是還清房貸，并預(yù)留儲(chǔ)蓄以備退休。我們幾乎都在那里。只是一年或兩年，我模仿超人，這樣我就可以放松。僅僅一兩年。..那是當(dāng)我看到她。那年輕的女人看上去很熟悉。我在火車站看到她了，還是我只是認(rèn)出了她臉上的表情？在一個(gè)座位上再次錯(cuò)過了反映辭職的樣子。這一看，說：“我沒有精力去做這件事?！蔽抑浪窃鯓拥母杏X，但我也知道我有工作要做。備忘錄回答，要寫報(bào)告。我有一個(gè)座位，她沒有。沒有人說生活將是公平的。

但有更多的只是她的臉。即使在她那笨重的外套，我也能看到她在等一個(gè)孩子。她懷孕是相當(dāng)遠(yuǎn)，這是她所有能做的去抓住金屬棒的列車突然陷入運(yùn)動(dòng)。我感到一陣內(nèi)疚，然后又與自己爭(zhēng)辯。火車上肯定有足夠多的人能看到她的情況。騎士還沒死，是嗎？但是沒有人移動(dòng)。好像每個(gè)人都在火車上被刻意避免這個(gè)年輕女人的角度為他們埋葬他們的頭在他們的報(bào)紙，或假裝全神貫注于他們的談話。

我把備忘錄和法律墊在我的公文包里，站了起來，示意讓她注意。工作可以等待。這肯定是夠了，和一個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的備忘錄也不會(huì)有多大的差異，在我的日程安排。如果我有什么想法，他們都被她臉上的表情抹去。一種新的看--救濟(jì)和感恩。話不需要被交換，但是當(dāng)她說謝謝時(shí)，我意識(shí)到，這小小的仁慈對(duì)我來說就像是對(duì)她一樣。一個(gè)提醒，即使我是一個(gè)大鼠比賽的一部分，我沒有成為一個(gè)大鼠。

這仍然是星期一早晨，但新興的日出告訴我，這將是一個(gè)美好的一天。

Unit 6

1一個(gè)真正幸福婚姻的基礎(chǔ)是什么？浪漫？溝通？真正的愛情？這當(dāng)然不是錢，對(duì)嗎？

2大多數(shù)人都會(huì)同意錢不是一個(gè)好的婚姻，但根據(jù)婚姻顧問，這無疑是一個(gè)壞的因素。英國關(guān)系咨詢服務(wù)發(fā)現(xiàn)，在1998次調(diào)查中，錢是在英國夫婦之間的爭(zhēng)論的頭號(hào)原因之一。我們的顧問認(rèn)為，錢是一個(gè)在許多離婚的主要因素。它不只是缺乏資金，導(dǎo)致問題。3信不信你對(duì)金錢的態(tài)度比你擁有多少重要。也許這并不浪漫，但離婚50%次婚姻，往往由于財(cái)政困難，我們是不是該停在耳邊甜言蜜語，開始關(guān)于錢的一些直接對(duì)話？

4對(duì)許多人來說，金錢是最后一個(gè)偉大的禁忌主題?！拔覀?cè)诮Y(jié)婚前從來沒有談過錢，”簡(jiǎn)，一位結(jié)婚五年的老師告訴我們。“我甚至不知道戴夫是怎么做的。我們?cè)谝黄鸬臅r(shí)候，我們當(dāng)然不會(huì)談?wù)撜l會(huì)付帳單，或者任何類似的東西，“戴夫同意：”這似乎不重要，談?wù)摻疱X。我從來沒有想過?！?/p>

5這些態(tài)度并不罕見，人們很少談?wù)摻疱X。

6浪漫的愛情神話告訴我們，我們會(huì)遇到一個(gè)人，結(jié)婚，并過著幸福的生活。童話里沒有什么能告訴我們?nèi)绾斡懻撐覀兊呢?cái)務(wù)，甚至是我們需要的。但是你的伴侶對(duì)金錢的態(tài)度可能是你需要了解的最重要的事情之一。7每個(gè)人都對(duì)金錢有著獨(dú)特的態(tài)度。有些人喜歡它可以買他們，也有人認(rèn)為它是安全的來源。有些人擔(dān)心他們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有足夠的，其他人會(huì)討厭是有錢人。你對(duì)錢的態(tài)度取決于很多東西：怎么是你帶來了，多少錢，你用有，是否你努力工作你錢或支付你所喜歡做的事情。甚至你的人生觀會(huì)影響你對(duì)金錢的影響。對(duì)金錢的態(tài)度是沒有對(duì)錯(cuò)的，每一個(gè)都是有效的。8他們結(jié)婚后，戴夫和簡(jiǎn)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們對(duì)金錢有很大的不同看法?！八且粋€(gè)富豪，我是一個(gè)屏幕保護(hù)程序，”簡(jiǎn)說?！捌鸪酰@是非常令人沮喪的，當(dāng)他在本月結(jié)束時(shí)，他在我和我的借貸，我們?nèi)匀坏玫搅舜罅康膽?zhàn)斗?！?/p>

9這是一個(gè)很常見的問題。大多數(shù)情侶在一起討論他們的目標(biāo)和夢(mèng)想，但他們不談?wù)撍麄兊呢?cái)務(wù)態(tài)度。他們談?wù)撚嘘P(guān)，他們會(huì)喜歡生活，那種職業(yè)他們想要的，有多少孩子他們會(huì)有，等共享相同的人生目標(biāo)是什么帶來了許多夫妻在一起，許多人花了很多時(shí)間（尤其是當(dāng)約會(huì)或結(jié)婚第一）討論他們的希望和夢(mèng)想。

10然而，許多人不做的事，就是計(jì)劃如何實(shí)現(xiàn)他們的目標(biāo)。他們知道他們?cè)谀睦锸且粚?duì)夫婦，但他們沒有路線圖的最短或最可靠的路線，他們的夢(mèng)想。

11這是所有浪漫談錢來。不僅你有多少，而且你會(huì)花多少錢，節(jié)省和投資。

12安吉拉，一位35歲的三歲的母親告訴我們，“錢不是一個(gè)問題，我們直到孩子出生。然后我突然發(fā)現(xiàn)我們一直在戰(zhàn)斗。我的丈夫會(huì)花100美元一個(gè)晚上出去與朋友，雖然它從來沒有困擾我之前突然把我逼瘋了?！卑布恼煞蚩床灰姷膯栴}；他們共同工作，他能買得起他的慷慨。安吉拉解釋道：“那么，有一天我們開始談?wù)撐覀儗?duì)未來的希望，這是一個(gè)燈泡似乎是為我的丈夫。我們一直想送我們的孩子去上大學(xué)，當(dāng)我說自己的支出是危及他似乎明白為什么我生氣了。它并沒有停止所有的戰(zhàn)斗，但它幫助。

13一次，安吉拉的丈夫發(fā)現(xiàn)了她為什么如此關(guān)注自己的花銷，他發(fā)現(xiàn)很容易嘗試去控制它。他們已經(jīng)同意把所有的孩子送上大學(xué)，但他們從來沒有談?wù)撨^他們是如何實(shí)現(xiàn)的。作為一個(gè)富豪安吉拉的丈夫沒有看到招待他的朋友晚上出來一個(gè)問題，而作為一個(gè)自然保護(hù)安吉拉擔(dān)心未來和孩子的大學(xué)基金。

14直到他們說，誰都不理解對(duì)方的態(tài)度。了解你的合作伙伴的態(tài)度，金錢是避免糾紛的關(guān)鍵。一個(gè)很好的問題是問你的伴侶是：“你會(huì)做什么，如果你贏得了彩票？“他們會(huì)花很多錢嗎？他們會(huì)把所有的一切，把它投入安全的投資和生活的興趣？他們會(huì)花一些錢存一些嗎？你會(huì)給他們的答案是什么？

15好吧，這樣你就不可能贏得彩票。但是，一旦你有了關(guān)于配偶的經(jīng)濟(jì)人格的知識(shí)，你就可以更好地為婚姻生活中的所有這些問題提供一天的錢。

16如果你的伴侶的財(cái)務(wù)風(fēng)格和你的不同？這并不是說關(guān)系是注定的。遠(yuǎn)離它。知道你們兩個(gè)人如何看待金錢，為什么會(huì)有助于你們做出必要的妥協(xié)來阻止它的戰(zhàn)斗。沒有任何關(guān)系是一樣的，但也有一些基本的步驟，每個(gè)人都可以采取幫助賺錢少的問題。17第一：決定你的優(yōu)先順序是什么。18這不是關(guān)于制作一個(gè)預(yù)算，雖然你需要一個(gè)如果你是管理你的財(cái)務(wù)。這是關(guān)于你的夢(mèng)想，你的生活愿望。你真的想活嗎？讓自己的夢(mèng)想，但也現(xiàn)實(shí)。這是關(guān)于做出選擇。你想每年都去度假還是一輛較新的汽車？你想擁有更大的房子，或者更多的可支配收入嗎？找到一些共同點(diǎn)，你的夢(mèng)想碰撞。這是你的財(cái)務(wù)目標(biāo)作為一對(duì)夫婦。19二：決定如何滿足你的目標(biāo)。

20當(dāng)我們聽到安吉拉，有些軟弱無力，像“我們必須拯救”真的不清楚。儲(chǔ)蓄對(duì)不同的人意味著不同的東西。一個(gè)自然的人可能會(huì)認(rèn)為儲(chǔ)蓄意味著把錢會(huì)在月底離開；一個(gè)程序可能包括雜貨店為了節(jié)省更多的開支。如果您正在保存，設(shè)置一個(gè)具體的和合理的數(shù)額，您可以在。決定如何投資你的儲(chǔ)蓄和誰將管理的錢。你也許想在這里得到財(cái)務(wù)上的建議，但關(guān)鍵是你要討論它。

21第三：決定如何處理日常財(cái)務(wù)。

22誰來平衡支票簿，支付賬單，并做出投資決策？而最大的每一個(gè)都可以在沒有咨詢的同時(shí)又能用什么呢？

23第四：你會(huì)有聯(lián)合或單獨(dú)的賬戶嗎？

24對(duì)許多夫妻來說，有單獨(dú)的戶口和三分之一的戶口是一種方法。另一些人則更傾向于一個(gè)共同賬戶，每個(gè)人都可以在他們認(rèn)為合適的支出上花錢。有許多不同的方式來組織你的財(cái)務(wù)，但重要的是，每個(gè)合作伙伴都有一些錢，他們可以自由地花錢，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為合適的。這就避免了無數(shù)的爭(zhēng)論。

25這四個(gè)技巧只是你理財(cái)計(jì)劃的開始。最重要的是談?wù)摻疱X和你對(duì)它的態(tài)度。金錢不是關(guān)于干的財(cái)務(wù)計(jì)劃，它是關(guān)于你將如何生活你的生活，實(shí)現(xiàn)你的夢(mèng)想，并保持在一個(gè)快樂的關(guān)系。

26還有，別以為錢是浪漫的？也許這不是，但這是一個(gè)比離婚更浪漫的浪漫，而這就是忽略你的錢的問題可以幫助你。
