3一、課文

Every teacher probably asks himself time and again: Why am I a teacher? Do the rewards of teaching outweigh the trying moments? Answering these questions is not a simple task.Let's see what the author says.也許每位教師都一再問(wèn)過(guò)自己：為什么選擇教書(shū)作為自己的職業(yè)？教書(shū)得到的回報(bào)是否使老師的煩惱顯得不值得多談？回答這些問(wèn)題并非易事。讓我們看看本文的作者說(shuō)了些什么。

Why I TeachPeter G.Beidler

Why do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn't want to be considered for anposition.He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a “" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.我為什么當(dāng)教師

彼得·G·貝德勒

你為什么要教書(shū)呢? 當(dāng)我告訴一位朋友我不想謀求行政職務(wù)時(shí)，他便向我提出這一問(wèn)題。所有美國(guó)人受的教育是長(zhǎng)大成人后應(yīng)該追求金錢(qián)和權(quán)力，而我卻偏偏不要明明是朝這個(gè)目標(biāo)“邁進(jìn)”的工作，他為之大惑不解。

.Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: , carpenter, writer.For me, teaching is a red-eye,-, sinking-stomach.Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late Ipreparing.Sweaty-palm, because I'm always nervous before I enter the classroom,.Sinking-stomach, because.當(dāng)然，我之所以教書(shū)不是因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得教書(shū)輕松。我做過(guò)各種各樣的工作，籍以謀生：機(jī)修工、木工、作家，教書(shū)是其中最難的一行。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，教書(shū)是個(gè)會(huì)令人熬紅眼睛、手掌出汗、精神沮喪的職業(yè)。說(shuō)熬紅眼睛，這是因?yàn)槲彝砩蠠o(wú)論備課備到多晚，總覺(jué)得備得還不充分。說(shuō)手掌出汗，這是因?yàn)槲铱邕M(jìn)教室之前總是非常緊張，自認(rèn)為學(xué)生一定會(huì)發(fā)覺(jué)原來(lái)我是個(gè)傻瓜蛋。說(shuō)精神沮喪，這是因?yàn)槲?小時(shí)后走出教室時(shí)，確信這堂課上得比平常還要平淡無(wú)味。

Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feelto share.Sometimes I am amazed that my students actuallyon what I say in class!

我之所以教書(shū)，也不是因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為自己能夠解答問(wèn)題，或者因?yàn)槲矣袧M腹學(xué)問(wèn)，覺(jué)得非與別人分享不可。有時(shí)我感到很驚異，學(xué)生竟真的把我課上講的東西做了筆記!

Why, then, do I teach?

這樣說(shuō)來(lái)，我為什么還要教書(shū)呢?

I teach because I like theof..我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矏?ài)校歷的步調(diào)。6月、7月和8月提供了一個(gè)供思考、研究和創(chuàng)作的機(jī)會(huì)。

I teach because teaching is a professionchange.When the material is the

same, I change — and, more important, my students change.我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)榻虒W(xué)是建立在“變”這一基礎(chǔ)上的職業(yè)。教材還是原來(lái)的教材，但我自身卻變了--更重要的是，我的學(xué)生變了。

I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own

lessons, tomyself and my students.As a teacher, I'm my own boss.If I want myto learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can't? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g有讓自己犯錯(cuò)誤的自由，有讓自己吸取教訓(xùn)的自由，有激勵(lì)自己和激勵(lì)學(xué)生的自由。作為教師，我可以自行做主。如果我想要求一年級(jí)學(xué)生通過(guò)自行編寫(xiě)課本的辦法來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)作，誰(shuí)能說(shuō)我不可以那樣做呢? 這樣的課程也許會(huì)徹底失敗，但我們都可以從失敗的嘗試中獲得教益。

I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer.The

world is full of right answers to bad questions.While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g向?qū)W生提出必須絞盡腦汁才能回答的問(wèn)題。我們這個(gè)

世界有無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的正確答案來(lái)對(duì)付拙劣的問(wèn)題。何況我在教學(xué)過(guò)程中有時(shí)也會(huì)想到一些出色的問(wèn)題。

I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of theand into the real world.I once taught a course called ” in aSociety.“ My 15 students read , , and.They.They wrote term papers.我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g想方設(shè)法使自己和我的學(xué)生從象牙塔里走出來(lái)，步入現(xiàn)實(shí)世界。我曾經(jīng)開(kāi)過(guò)一門(mén)叫做“在工業(yè)技術(shù)社會(huì)里如何自力更生”的課程。我教的15位學(xué)生讀了愛(ài)默生、梭洛和赫胥黎的作品，記了日記，還寫(xiě)了學(xué)期論文。

But we also set up a , borrowed money, purchased ahouse

and practiced self-reliance byit.At the end of the semester, we sold the house,our , paid our taxes, andthe profits among the group.但除此而外，我們還辦起一個(gè)公司，借錢(qián)買(mǎi)下一所破舊的房屋，通過(guò)對(duì)這一建筑物的整修翻新，我們就自力更生這一課題進(jìn)行了一次實(shí)踐活動(dòng)。在期末我們把房子賣(mài)掉，還清貸款，繳了稅，余下的收益分給了參加實(shí)踐的學(xué)生。

So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to

keep on learning.所以說(shuō)，教學(xué)使我的工作進(jìn)程有了規(guī)律，使我的生活變得豐富多彩，教學(xué)向

我提出了挑戰(zhàn)，也給了我不斷學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。

I have , however, the most important reasons why I teach.不過(guò)，我要教書(shū)的最重要的幾個(gè)原因還沒(méi)有講到呢。

One is Vicky.My firststudent, Vicky was anstudent who

labored at heron a little-known 14th century poet.She wrote articles andthemto.She did it all herself, with an occasionalfrom me.But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won ato Harvard working on a book developing ideas she'd first had as my student.其中一個(gè)原因與維基有關(guān)。維基是我的第一個(gè)博士生。她精力充沛，孜孜不

倦地撰寫(xiě)她那篇論述14世紀(jì)一位不知名詩(shī)人的學(xué)位論文。她寫(xiě)過(guò)一些文章，寄給了學(xué)術(shù)刊物。這一切都由她獨(dú)立完成，我偶爾從旁略加指點(diǎn)。我親眼看到了她完成論文，看到了她得悉自己的文章被采用，親眼目睹她找到了工作并獲得了在哈佛大學(xué)當(dāng)研究員的職位，著書(shū)論述她在做我學(xué)生時(shí)萌發(fā)的思想。

Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then

to English because he decided he liked people better than things.另一個(gè)原因與喬治有關(guān)。他開(kāi)始學(xué)的是工程學(xué)，后來(lái)他深信自己愛(ài)人勝過(guò)愛(ài)

物，所以改學(xué)英語(yǔ)。

There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates

because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project.I was there when she came back.I was there when she told me that she later became interested in thepoor and went on to become alawyer.還有珍妮。她中途輟學(xué)，但是她的同學(xué)把她拉了回來(lái)，因?yàn)樗麄兿胱屗吹?/p>

自力更生整修舊房子這一項(xiàng)目的結(jié)果。我親眼看到她回來(lái)了。我親耳聽(tīng)到她對(duì)我說(shuō)，她后來(lái)對(duì)城市貧民產(chǎn)生了興趣，繼而成了捍衛(wèi)公民權(quán)的律師。

There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more bythan most of us

learn by.Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college.還要提一提清潔女工杰基。她憑直覺(jué)了解的事情比我們多數(shù)人通過(guò)分析弄清的東西還要多。杰基已經(jīng)決定讀完中學(xué)，然后還要上大學(xué)。

These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of

me..這些在我眼前成長(zhǎng)、變化的人，便是我要當(dāng)教師的真正原因。當(dāng)一名教師意味著是創(chuàng)造的見(jiàn)證人，他目睹人體開(kāi)始呼吸，開(kāi)始了生命。

A ”promotion“ out of teaching would give me money and power.But I have

money.I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking questions like, ”"

“升職了”，不再教書(shū)了，也許會(huì)給我?guī)?lái)金錢(qián)和權(quán)力。可是我現(xiàn)在也有錢(qián)。

我拿了薪金去做自己樂(lè)意做的事：讀書(shū)、交談、提問(wèn)，比如問(wèn)：“做個(gè)富翁有什么意思呢?”

And I have power.I have the power to nudge, to fan , to suggest books, to

point out a.What other power matters?

我現(xiàn)在還有權(quán)呢。我有權(quán)啟迪，有權(quán)激發(fā)才智，有權(quán)開(kāi)出書(shū)目，有權(quán)指點(diǎn)迷津。還有其他什么權(quán)力更值得考慮呢?

But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love.Not only

the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe.Perhaps love is the wrong word:might be better.但教書(shū)還會(huì)帶來(lái)金錢(qián)和權(quán)力以外的東西：那便是愛(ài)。不僅是愛(ài)學(xué)習(xí)、愛(ài)書(shū)本、愛(ài)思想，而且還有老師對(duì)出類(lèi)拔萃的學(xué)生的愛(ài)。這樣的學(xué)生走進(jìn)了老師的生活，老師自己也開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)了?！皭?ài)”這個(gè)字也許用得不恰當(dāng)：用“魔力”可能更為貼切。

I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I

occasionally find myselfwith them.我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)樵谂c開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)的學(xué)生朝夕相處時(shí)，我有時(shí)感到自己也和他們

一起開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)了。

To my mind, in any analysis(1)of the professions(2), few can match

teaching.One needs to be energetic(3), certainly, for occasionally it seems one hardly has time to catch his breath(4).It can mean staying up(5)late in order to get lessons prepared on time.Nonetheless, I am convinced(6)that the work is more stimulating(7)than that of my administrative(8)

colleagues.I certainly would not wish to switch(9), even though the pay is

higher.With teaching, the pace(10)of life is more varied, allowing greater

time for reflection(11)and research.Yet most of all it is the chance to see the spark(12)of a fresh idea taking hold in a student's mind that is the most

rewarding aspect of the job, repaying(13)all one's efforts

1.許多美國(guó)大學(xué)生申請(qǐng)政府貸款交付學(xué)費(fèi)。

2.除閱讀材料外，使用電影和多媒體（multimedia）會(huì)激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興趣。

3.這位律師試圖說(shuō)服陪審團(tuán)（jury）他的當(dāng)事人（client）是無(wú)辜的。

(convince sb.of)

4.提問(wèn)常常會(huì)引發(fā)創(chuàng)造的火花。

5.我已經(jīng)把我的簡(jiǎn)歷（résumé）寄往幾家公司，但尚未收到回復(fù)。

6.她的結(jié)論是建立在對(duì)當(dāng)前國(guó)際情況進(jìn)行了認(rèn)真的分析的基礎(chǔ)上的。

7.我們滿懷期望地來(lái)參加會(huì)議，離開(kāi)時(shí)卻大失所望。

8.暫時(shí)他只得接受了一份給一家化妝品公司發(fā)促銷(xiāo)傳單的活兒。

1一、課文

A young man finds thatalong the streets without an obvious purpose can lead to trouble with the law.One misunderstanding leads to another until eventually he ends up in...一個(gè)青年發(fā)現(xiàn)，在大街上毫無(wú)明顯目的地游逛會(huì)招致警方的責(zé)罰。誤會(huì)一個(gè)接一個(gè)發(fā)生，最終他只得出庭受審……

Awith the Law

I have only once been in trouble with the law.The whole process of being arrested andwas a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now.What makes it rather disturbing was theboth of my arrest and myin court.與警察的一場(chǎng)小沖突

我平生只有一次跟警方發(fā)生糾葛。被捕和出庭的整個(gè)過(guò)程在當(dāng)時(shí)是一件非常不愉快的事，但現(xiàn)在倒成了一篇很好的故事。這次經(jīng)歷令人可惱之處在于圍繞著我的被捕以及隨后庭上審訊而出現(xiàn)的種種武斷專(zhuān)橫的情況。

It happened in February about twelve years ago..I was still living at home at the time.事情發(fā)生在大約12年前，其時(shí)正是2月。幾個(gè)月前我中學(xué)畢業(yè)了，但上大學(xué)要等到10月。當(dāng)時(shí)我還在家中居住。

One morning I was in , a suburb of London near where I lived.I was looking for ajob so that I couldsome money to go travelling.As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was , looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me..一天早晨，我來(lái)到里士滿。這里是倫敦的一個(gè)郊區(qū)，離我住的地方不遠(yuǎn)。我在尋找一份臨時(shí)工作，以便積些錢(qián)去旅游。由于天氣晴朗，當(dāng)時(shí)又無(wú)急事，我便慢悠悠看看櫥窗，逛逛公園。有時(shí)干脆停下腳步，四處張望?，F(xiàn)在看來(lái)，一定是這種明顯的毫無(wú)目的的游逛，使我倒了霉。

It was about half past eleven when it happened.I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully soughtthere, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me.I thought he was going to ask me the time.Instead, he said he was aand he was arresting me.At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared, this time in , and I was left in no doubt.事情發(fā)生在11點(diǎn)半鐘光景。我在當(dāng)?shù)貓D書(shū)館謀職未成，剛剛走出來(lái)，便看到一個(gè)人穿越馬路，顯然是要來(lái)跟我說(shuō)話。我以為他要問(wèn)我時(shí)間，不料他說(shuō)他是警官，要逮捕我。起先我還以為這是在開(kāi)玩笑，但又一個(gè)警察出現(xiàn)在我的面前，這次是位身著警服的，這一下使我確信無(wú)疑了。

“But what for?” I asked.“為什么要抓我？”我問(wèn)道。

“ with intent to commit an,” he said.“到處游蕩，企圖作案，”他說(shuō)。

“What offence?” I asked.“作什么案？”我又問(wèn)。

“Theft,” he said.“偷竊，”他說(shuō)。

“Theft of what?” I asked.“偷什么？”我追問(wèn)。

“Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectlytoo!

“牛奶瓶，”他板著面孔說(shuō)道。

“Oh,” I said.“噢，”我說(shuō)。.事情原來(lái)是這樣的，在這一地區(qū)多次發(fā)生小的扒竊案，特別是從門(mén)前臺(tái)階上

偷走牛奶瓶。

Then I made my big mistake.At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair,and regarded myself as part of the sixties' “".As a result, I

wanted to appear cool andwith the incident, so I said, ”How long have

you been following me?“ in the mostandtone I could manage.I

thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it

them in theirthat I was acharacter.接著，我犯了一個(gè)大錯(cuò)誤。其時(shí)我年方19，留一頭蓬亂的長(zhǎng)發(fā)，自認(rèn)為是

60年代“青年反主流文化”的一員。所以我想裝出一副冷漠的、對(duì)這一事件滿不

在乎的樣子。于是我盡量用一種漫不經(jīng)心的極其隨便的腔調(diào)說(shuō)，“你們跟蹤我多

久啦?”這樣一來(lái)，在他們眼里，我就像是非常熟悉這一套的了，也使他們更加確

信我是一個(gè)地地道道的壞蛋。

A few minutes later a police car arrived.幾分鐘后，開(kāi)來(lái)了一輛警車(chē)。

”Get in the back,“ they said.”P(pán)ut your hands on the back of the front seat and

don't move them.“

“坐到后面去，”他們說(shuō)?！鞍咽址诺角芭抛坏目勘成?，不準(zhǔn)挪動(dòng)?！?/p>

They got in on either side of me.It wasn't funny any more.他們分別坐在我的兩邊。這可再也不是鬧著玩的了。

At the police station they questioned me for several hours.I continued to try to

lookandwith the situation.When they asked me what I had been

doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job.”,“ I could see them thinking,”.“

在警察局，他們審訊了我好幾個(gè)小時(shí)。我繼續(xù)裝成老于世故、對(duì)這種事習(xí)以為常。

當(dāng)他們問(wèn)我在干什么時(shí)，我告訴他們?cè)谡夜ぷ鳌！鞍?，”我可以想象他們?cè)谙耄肮?/p>

然是個(gè)失業(yè)的家伙?！?/p>

Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond '

Court the following Monday.Then they let me go.最后，我被正式指控，并通知我下周一到里士滿地方法庭受審。隨后他們讓

我離開(kāi)。

I wanted tomy own defence in court, but as soon as my father found out

what had happened, he hired a very good.We went along that Monday armed

with all kinds of , including my English teacher from school as a character

witness.But he was neverto give evidence.My ”“ didn't get that far.The magistratethe case after fifteen minutes.I was free.The poor police

had never.我想在法庭上作自我辯護(hù)，但父親知道這事后，馬上請(qǐng)了一位高明的律師。

我們星期一出庭的時(shí)候，帶了各種各樣的證人，其中包括我中學(xué)的英語(yǔ)老師，做

我人品的見(jiàn)證人。但結(jié)果法庭沒(méi)有叫他作證。我的“審判”沒(méi)有進(jìn)行到那一步。開(kāi)

庭15分鐘，法官就駁回了對(duì)我的指控。我無(wú)罪獲釋。可憐的警方敗訴，我的律

師甚至讓法庭責(zé)成警方承擔(dān)了訴訟費(fèi)用。

And so I do not have a criminal record.But what was most shocking at the

time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on.I had the

”right“ ,parents in court, reliable witnesses, and

I could obviously afford a very good solicitor..While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviouslythe fact that I had a ” academic record“.這樣，我的履歷上沒(méi)有留下犯罪的記錄。但當(dāng)時(shí)最令人震驚的，是那些顯

然導(dǎo)致宣布我無(wú)罪的證據(jù)。我講話的口音“表明我教養(yǎng)良好”，到庭的有體面的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的雙親，有可靠的證人，還有，我顯然請(qǐng)得起一名很好的律師。從對(duì)

我指控的這種捕風(fēng)捉影的做法來(lái)看，我肯定，如果我出身在另一種背景的家庭

里，并且真的是失了業(yè)的話，我完全可能被判有罪。當(dāng)我的律師要求賠償訴訟

費(fèi)時(shí)，他公然把辯護(hù)的證據(jù)建立在我“學(xué)業(yè)優(yōu)異”這一事實(shí)上。

Meanwhile, just outside the , one of the policemen who had arrested

me wascomplaining to my mother that another youngster had beenthe police.”You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,“ he

said to me.與此同時(shí)，就在審判室外面，一位抓我的警察正在沮喪地向我母親抱怨，說(shuō)是又

一個(gè)小伙子要跟警察作對(duì)了。他帶著責(zé)備的口氣對(duì)我說(shuō)，“我們抓你的時(shí)候，你

本可以稍微幫點(diǎn)忙的?！?/p>

What did he mean?that I should have lookedand said

something like, ”Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly

successful student with a brilliant academic record.How dare you arrest me!" Then

they, presumably, would have apologized, perhaps even taken off their caps, and let

me on my way.他說(shuō)這話什么意思?大概是說(shuō)我本該顯出憤憤不平的樣子，并說(shuō)，“喂，留神點(diǎn)，你知道你在跟誰(shuí)說(shuō)話?我是學(xué)業(yè)出眾的高材生。你敢抓我!”那樣一來(lái)，他們或許

會(huì)向我道歉，說(shuō)不定還會(huì)脫帽致意，讓我走開(kāi)呢。

二、課文完形填空

Fate(1)is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself.Take as an

example the recent trial(2)in which I was involved.When I arrested the young lad I had felt sure he was guilty(3)I had been following him around for a

couple of(4)hours andheconduct(5)himself suspiciously.He had been wandering(6)about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity to steal.When I arrested him, his casual(7)manner only served to confirm(8)my suspicions.I thought I had at last caught the thief who had been troubling the area for so long.However, my joy was only stand a temporary(9)When I saw the brilliant

(10)solicitor the boy's father had hired to defend him, I knew we didn't stand a chance(11)It turned out that the boy was simply a student who was looking for employment(12)before going to university.If only he had been a bit more helpful when we arrested him, he could have saved us all a lot of time and

trouble.It's enough to make one turn against(13)students!

三、翻譯
