21世纪大学英语综合教程第二册Unit2课文翻译及课后答案1

　　几年前的一天，我来到萨拉曼卡——纽约附近的一个火车站。我计划在那儿搭乘卧车。站台上都是人，他们涌入长长的卧车，把列车挤得满满的。我问售票处的人能否买两张票，但他厉声回答说：“没票!”然后冲着我的脸关上了窗。这真是对我尊严的莫大打击，然而我又需要这两张车票。我找到一位地方官员，问他能否在卧铺车厢的某个地方找个可怜的小角落;但他猛然打断了我，厉声说道：“没有，找不到。每个角落都挤满了。好了，不要再来烦我了。”说完，他便不理我而走开了。我没料到他会这样对待我，我的尊严处于一种难以描述的状况。我对同伴说：“他们这样对我讲话是因为他们不知道我是谁。”可我的同伴却说:“别说这种傻话了。即便他们知道你是谁，你觉得这能帮你在没有空座的火车上搞到座位吗?”说完他也不理我了。这太过分了。我找到刚才那个官员，非常有礼貌地告诉他我叫马克•吐温，我是否能——但他又一次打断了我：“我已经告诉过你不要再来烦我了。”接着又不再理我了。我无助地环顾四周，发现我的同伴目睹了整个经过。我感到的耻辱无法用语言形容。我说：“或许他没有听到我的名字。”但我的同伴却不这么认为，他说：“他肯定清楚地听到你的名字了，只不过他不在乎罢了，就是这么回事。”

　　我不知道接下去会发生什么，但就在这时候,我注意到一个年轻的卧车行李搬运工正在跟列车员窃窃私语，并朝着我点头。那个列车员随即转过身，毕恭毕敬地向我走来。

　　“我能为您效劳吗，先生?”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗?”

　　“呃，当然，”我回答说，“可我问过站台上那个人，他说每个角落都塞满了，还叫我不要烦他。”

　　“不会吧，先生，我简直不敢相信他说了这样的话。简直无法想象有人竟然这样对您说话，先生!我很抱歉，先生，但您一定是误会他了。我们什么空地方都没了，只剩下那个大的家庭包房，里面有两个铺位和几把扶手椅，但这一切都供您享用。过来，汤姆，把这些箱子搬上车!”

　　搬运工拿了我们的小提箱，我们则上了车。在豪华包房把我们舒舒服服安顿好以后，汤姆满脸堆笑地说:“哦，您还需要什么吗，先生?”

　　“呃，这盏灯吊得太高了。能不能在我的床头再给我安一盏灯，好让我看起书来舒服点?”

　　“可以，先生，可以。我会亲自给您安上。您需要什么只管说，我们就是把整条铁路里里外外查个遍也要帮您找到。”说完他便离开了。

　　我微笑着对同伴说：“咳咳，现在你怎么说?”

　　我的同伴看起来很羞愧。“唔，”他说，“你是对的。我为刚才在站台上对你说过的那些话感到抱歉。这么看来犯傻的是我，不是你。能跟你一起来我很高兴。假如没有你，我永远也不会搞到车票。但我还是不明白。”就在这时汤姆的笑脸再次出现在门口，接着说了这样一句话：“喔，先生，我一下子就把您给认出来了。接着我就告诉了列车员。”

　　“是这样吗，小伙子?”我问道，“那我是谁呢?”

　　“您是纽约*麦克莱伦先生。”说罢他又离开了。

　　我在一家7-11商店里已经工作了两年，自以为很善于处理我们经理所说的“与顾客的关系”了。我坚信，一个友好的微笑和脱口而出的“先生”、“女士”和“谢谢”就足以让我应付任何可能出现的情况，无论是安慰缺乏耐心或难缠的顾客， 还是为找错零钱而道歉。但是几天前的那个晚上，一位老妇人却动摇了我的信念： 乖巧的回答并不能消除与他人打交道时遇到的磕磕绊绊。

　　老妇人一进来，就与我们灯火通明、货架整齐、亮堂堂的店铺形成了鲜明的对照。老妇人似乎每走一步都十分痛苦。她慢慢地推开玻璃门，蹒跚地走向最近的通道。在气温只有华氏40度的晚上，她只穿着一件褪了色的连衣裙和一件薄薄的、淡褐色的、小得连纽扣都扣不起来的羊毛衫，还有一双破旧的黑拖鞋。她那青筋暴突的腿上既没有穿长袜也没有穿短袜。

　　老妇人在店里转了几分钟后，在罐装蔬菜前停了下来。她拿起一罐玉米，盯着标签看。此时，我决意做一个有礼貌的"好雇员，便问她是否需要帮助。

　　对我清晰宏亮的“您要买点什么?”老妇人轻声回答说：

　　“我要一些吃的。”

　　“太太，您在找玉米吗?”

　　“我要一些吃的，”她重复道。“哪种都行。”

　　“哦，罐头玉米是95美分，”我用最乐于助人的口吻说道。“或者，如果您愿意的话，我们今天有特价面包。”

　　“我付不出钱，”她说。

　　有那么一刹那，我真想说：“把玉米拿去吧。”但雇员守则却涌入我的脑海：保持礼貌，但不要让顾客占你便宜，让他们知道是你在控制局面。曾有一刻我甚至认为这是某种考验，老妇人是总部派来考验我的忠诚的。于是，我尽职尽责地回答说：“对不起，太太，我不能免费送您任何东西。”

　　老妇人的脸似乎“塌陷”得更厉害了(如果有这种可能的话)，她双手颤抖着把罐头放回货架，然后从我身旁慢慢地走向门口，破旧而又肮脏的羊毛衫勉强遮住她佝偻的背。

　　她离开后不久，我便拿着那罐玉米冲出门去，可是老妇人已经无影无踪。在余下的当班时间里，老妇人的形象一直浮现在我的脑海中。我年轻、健康、沾沾自喜，而她却年老多病，身处绝境。我真心希望我当时能表现得像一个人而不是“机器人”，但意识到我们保持自身良好本性的力量是多么的脆弱，又令我感到悲哀。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第3册Unit10课文详解2

　　Louis E. Kopolow, M.D.

　　You need stress in your life! Does that surprise you? Perhaps so, but it is quite true. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in the stress-filled world of today is to learn how to cope with stress so that it doesn"t become overwhelming.

　　What kinds of things can cause too much stress in our lives? We often think of major crises such as natural disasters, war, and death as main sources of stress. These are, of course, stressful events. However, according to psychologist Wayne Weiten, on a day-to-day basis, it"s the small things that cause stress: waiting in line, having car trouble, getting stuck in a traffic jam, having too many things to do in a limited time.

　　Interestingly, stress is unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may be relaxing to one person may be stressful to another. For example, if you"re an executive who likes to keep busy all the time, "taking it easy" at the beach on a beautiful day may feel extremely frustrating, non-productive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from "doing nothing".

　　Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a "non-specific response of the body to a demand." For the busy executive, the demand that causes stress might be to relax. For most of us, it"s a demand to act that causes stress. If we feel overwhelmed by pressure to do too much, we may not be able to function at all. In this case, the stress that can be good for us becomes distress, or bad stress. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful, causing physical illness.

　　Reacting To Stress

　　The body responds to stressful events by going through three stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance and (3) exhaustion. Let"s take the example of a ty//.oh100.com/picmuter in rush-hour traffic. If a car suddenly pulls out in front of him, his initial alarm reaction may include fear of an accident, anger at the driver who committed the action, and general frustration. His body may respond in the alarm stage by releasing chemicals into the bloodstream which cause his face to flush, perspiration to form, his stomach to have a sinking feeling, and his arms and legs to tighten. The next stage is resistance, in which the body repairs damage caused by the stress. If the stress of driving continues with repeated close calls or traffic jams, however, his body doesn"t have time to make repairs. He may become so conditioned to expect potential problems when he drives that he tightens up at the beginning of each commuting day. The third stage, exhaustion, occurs if the stress continues over a long period of time, and the body depletes its resources for fighting stress. The result may be illness: insomnia, headaches, backaches, ulcers, high blood pressure — even heart disease.

　　While you can"t live completely free of stress and distress, you can prevent some distress as well as minimize its impact. By recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them, you can improve the quality of your life and perhaps even live longer.

　　Helping Yourself

　　When stress does occur, it"s important to recognize and deal with it. Here are some suggestions for handling stress. As you begin to understand more about how stress affects you as an individual, you"ll come up with your own ways to ease the tension.

　　Try physical activity. When you"re nervous, angry or upset, release the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve the tension, relax you and turn the frowns into smiles. Remember, your body and your mind work together.

　　Share your stress. It helps to talk to someone about your concerns and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or counselor can help you see your problem in a different light. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or mental health counselor. Knowing when to ask for help may help you avoid more serious problems later.

　　Know your limits. If a problem is beyond your control and can"t be changed at the moment, don"t fight the situation. Learn to accept what is — for now — until a time when you can change it.

　　Take care of yourself. You"re special. Get enough rest and eat well. If you"re irritable and tense from lack of sleep or if you aren"t eating correctly, you"ll have less ability to deal with stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should ask your doctor for help.

　　Make time for fun. Schedule time for both work and recreation. Play can be just as important to your well-being as work; you need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.

　　Be a participant. One way to keep from getting bored, sad, and lonely is to go somewhere where things are happening. Sitting alone can make you feel frustrated. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get involved and become a participant. Offer your services in volunteer organizations. Help yourself by helping other people. Get involved in the world and the people around you, and you"ll find they"ll be attracted to you. You"ll be on your way to making new friends and enjoying new activities.

　　Check off your tasks. Trying to take care of everything at once can seem overwhelming, and, as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of what tasks you have to do, then do one at a time, check them off as they"re completed. Give priority to the most important ones and do those first.

　　Must you always be right? Do other people upset you — particularly when they don"t do things your way? Try cooperation instead of confrontation; it"s better than fighting and always being "right." A little give and take on both sides will reduce the strain and make you both feel more comfortable.

　　It"s OK to cry. A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety, and it might even prevent a headache or other physical consequences. Take some deep breaths; they also release tension.

　　Create a quiet scene. You can"t always run away, but you can "dream the impossible dream." A quiet country scene painted mentally (or on canvas!) can let you escape from a stressful situation. Change the scene by reading a good book or playing beautiful music to create a sense of peace.

　　Avoid self-medication. Although you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they don"t eliminate the conditions that caused the stress in the first place. Medications, in fact, may be habit-forming and can also reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they take away. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.

　　The Art of Relaxation

　　The best strategy for avoiding stress is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. For a while, tune out your worries about time, productivity, and "doing right". You"ll find satisfaction in just being, without striving. Find activities that give you pleasure and that are good for your mental and physical well-being. Forget about always winning. Focus on relaxation, enjoyment, and health. Whatever method works for you, be good to yourself. If you don"t let stress get out of hand, you can actually make it work for you instead of against you.

　　1. There are many traditional forms of courtesy toward women — gestures like lighting their cigarettes for them or standing up when they enter a room. What others can you think of?

　　2. As you listen to the passage the first time, see if it mentions any of the polite gestures that you thought of. Then listen again for the answers to the following questions:

　　a) Where do you imagine the incident the woman describes took place?

　　b) What courtesy did she expect?

　　c) What, in the man"s view, is the basis of a lot of common courtesy?

　　3. What do you think of the woman"s argument about everyday reality? What about the man"s view of common courtesy?

　　The Titanic Puzzle Should a good feminist accept

　　priority seating on a lifeboat?

　　Charles Krauthammer

　　You"re on the Titanic II. It has just hit an iceberg and is sinking. And, as last time, there are not enough lifeboats. The captain shouts, "Women and children first!" But this time, another voice is heard: "Why women?"

　　Why, indeed? Part of the charm of the successful movie Titanic are the period costumes, the period extravagance, and the period prejudices. An audience can enjoy these at a distance. Oddly, however, of all the period attitudes in the film, the old maritime tradition of "women and children first" enjoys total acceptance by modern audiences. Listen to the audience boo at the bad guys who try to sneak on the lifeboats with — or ahead of — the ladies.

　　But is not grouping women with children a raging anachronism? Should not any self-respecting modern person, let alone feminist, object to it as insulting to women?

　　Yet its usage is as common today as it was in 1912. Consider these examples taken almost at random from recent newspapers:

　　"The invaders gunned down the Indians, most of them women and children..."

　　"As many as 200 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed..."

　　"At the massacre in Ahmici 103 Muslims, including 33 women and children, were killed..."

　　At a time when women fly combat aircraft and run multi-national corporations, how can one not wince when adult women are routinely classed with children? In Ahmici, it seems, 70 adult men were killed. And how many adult women? Not clear. When things get serious, when blood starts to flow or ships start to sink, you"ll find them with the children.

　　Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence. They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin). That"s why we grant them special protection. In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands. And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.

　　The phrase "women and children" attributes to women the same dependence and moral simplicity we find in five-year-olds. Such an attitude perhaps made sense in an era dominated by male privilege. Given the disabilities attached to womanhood in 1912, it was only fair that a new standard of gender equality not suddenly be proclaimed just as lifeboat seats were being handed out. That deference — a somewhat more urgent variation on giving up your seat on the bus to a woman — complemented and perhaps to some extent compensated for the legal and social constraints placed on women at the time.

　　But in our era of extensive social restructuring to grant women equality in education, in employment, in government, in athletics, what entitles women to the privileges — and reduces them to the status — of children?

　　Evolutionary psychologists might say that ladies-to-the-lifeboats is an instinct that developed to perpetuate the species: Women are indispensable child-bearers. You can repopulate a village if the women survive and only a few of the men, but not if the men survive and only a few of the women. Women being more precious, biologically speaking, than men, evolution has conditioned us to give them the kind of life-protecting deference we give to that other seed of the future: kids.

　　The problem with this kind of logic, however, is its depressing reductionism. It"s like a serious version of the geneticist"s old joke that a chicken is just an egg"s way of making another egg. But humans are more than just egg-layers. And traditional courtesies are more than just disguised survival strategies. So why do we say "women and children"?

　　Perhaps it"s really "women for children." The most basic parental bond is maternal. Equal parenting is great, but women, from breast to cradle to reassuring hug, can nurture in ways that men cannot. And thus, because we value children, women should go second. The children need them.

　　But kiddie-centrism gets you only so far. What if there are no children on board? You are on the Titanic III, and this time it"s a singles cruise. No kids, no parents. Now: Iceberg! Lifeboats! Action!

　　Here"s my scenario. The men, out of sheer irrational heroism, should let the women go first. And the women, out of sheer feminist self-respect, should refuse.

　　Result? Stalemate. How does this movie end? How should it end? Hurry, the ship"s going down.
