第一篇：大英3段落翻譯范圍

1、吸煙之危害，可謂大矣，其嚴重性是不能低估的。吸煙污染空氣，損害健康，使肺癌發(fā)病率大大增加。為了使各國人民關注煙草的盛行及預防吸煙導致的疾病和死亡，世界衛(wèi)生組織已將每年的5月31日定為“世界無煙日”。癮君子們說，一天不吃飯可以，一個時辰不抽煙就難捱了，不能戒。只要真正意識到吸煙有百害而無一利，于人于己都是一種禍害，就有可能下決心擺脫煙草的誘惑。戒煙貴在堅持，堅持下去就是收獲。

Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists, he’ll be rewarded.2、假日經(jīng)濟的現(xiàn)象表明：中國消費者的消費觀正在發(fā)生巨大變化。根據(jù)統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)，中國消費者的消費需求正在從基本生活必需品轉向對休閑、舒適和個人發(fā)展的需求。同時，中國人的消費觀在蓬勃發(fā)展的假日經(jīng)濟中正變得成熟。因此產(chǎn)品結構應做相應調(diào)整，來適應社會的發(fā)展。另一方面，服務質(zhì)量要改善，以滿足人們提高生活質(zhì)量的要求。

The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.Meanwhile, Chinese consumption concepts are getting mature along with the thriving holiday economy.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.3、越來越多受英文教育的海外華人父母，已經(jīng)認識到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同時，也要通曉中文的重要性。中國的崛起，讓他們充分認識到孩子掌握雙語的好處——既能增加他們的就業(yè)機會，也能讓他們接觸和熟悉東西方兩種不同的文化。這些人對中文的態(tài)度幾乎沒有完全改變。曾幾何時，他們還非常驕傲地宣稱自己只懂英文。現(xiàn)在，他們已開始積極支持孩子學習中文和中國文化，而且還不時走訪中國，欣賞壯觀的自然風光，認識豐富的文化遺產(chǎn)。

An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to

give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.4、在中國，筆、墨、紙、硯（ink slab），就是人們所說的“文房四寶”，在中華文明的傳承中起了重要作用。文房四寶不僅有實用價值，它們本身也是供人觀賞的藝術品，并逐步成為收藏品。文房四寶品類繁多，豐富多彩，選材制作不斷趨于完善、精美，歷代都有名品、名匠產(chǎn)生，成為一種深厚的文化積淀。在當今時代，使用筆、墨、紙、硯進行學習、寫作的人越來越少了，但是，在中國的書法、繪畫、收藏以及修身養(yǎng)性活動中，它們?nèi)云鹬豢商娲淖饔谩?/p>

In China, “four treasures of the study” refers to “writing brush”, “ink stick”, “paper” and “ink slab”, playing an important role in passing on Chinese civilization.They not only have their value of practical use, but also become the works of art for appreciation and collection.There is a large variety of these four treasures.Selecting of materials and making process have become increasingly delicate and perfect.Each dynasty of Chinese history saw famous craftsmen appear and works produced, which is a profound process of cultural accumulation.In contemporary times, “four treasures of the study” have been increasingly rarely used for study or writing, but they are still playing an irreplaceable role in the field of Chinese calligraphy, painting, collection and in the activities of cultivating one’s mind.5、和諧源自人的內(nèi)心。健康的人格，良好的心態(tài)，既關乎個人的身心和諧，也關乎社會的和諧穩(wěn)定。一個內(nèi)心失調(diào)、失衡的人，一個心中充溢著焦躁、郁悶甚至仇恨的人，往往會同自己過不去，還會同周圍環(huán)境過不去，人生是無法和諧得起來的。心平才能氣和，內(nèi)和才能外順。我們要以平和之心思考問題，多一點理性、少一點感性，多一點睿智、少一點混沌，多一點冷靜、少一點浮躁，多一點淡然、少一點癡迷，多一點大度、少一點偏執(zhí)。

Harmony is derived from the inner heart of people.Wholesome personality and sound mentality are concerned not only with the harmony of individual’s mind and body, but also with the social harmony and stability.A mentally disturbed and imbalanced person infatuated with anxiety, oppression or even hatred tends to make things difficult for himself and also finds it difficult to get along with his surroundings, it is impossible to have harmony in his life.Only a calm mind can ensure an even temper;and only the inner harmony can make one get along smoothly.Therefore, we should think with a calm mind, with more rationality and less sensitivity, more wit and less confusion, more calmness and less fickleness, more indifference and less obsession, more generosity and less prejudice.

第三篇：段落翻譯

漢譯英：

蚯蚓是一種有益的動物。在地面上它是其他動物的食物。在地下，它為田野和花園制造肥沃的土壤。

蚯蚓能挖洞，而洞穴能使土壤疏松，因而使空氣和水更容易達到植物的根部。這些洞穴還有利于土壤的排水。

蚯蚓把枯萎的樹葉、草和花瓣拖進洞穴中。當這些植物垃圾腐爛后，就使土壤肥沃。

蚯蚓對制造優(yōu)良的的表層土壤所起的作用是其它任何動物都比不上的。據(jù)估計，五萬條蚯蚓一年內(nèi)能在一英畝的土地上制造大約十八噸優(yōu)良土壤。

The earthworm is a useful animal.On the ground it is food for other animals.Under the ground, it makes rich soil for fields and gardens.Earthworms dig tunnels that loosen the soil and make it for air and water to reach the roots of plants.These tunnels help keep the soil well drained.Earthworms drag withered leaves, grass and flowers into their burrows.When this plant litter decays, it makes the soil more fertile.No other animal is so useful in building up good topsoil.It is estimated that in one year fifty thousand earthworms carry about eighteen tons of the fine soil to the surface of an acre of land.我深深愛著的祖國――古老而又年輕。說她古老，她是一個有著數(shù)千年文明史的東方大國。中華民族以自己的勤勞和智慧，創(chuàng)造了燦爛的古代文明，對人類發(fā)展作出過重大貢獻。說她年輕，新中國成立才60年，改革開放才30年。中國人民經(jīng)過長期不懈的斗爭建立了新中國，又經(jīng)過艱苦的探索，終于找到了適合國情的發(fā)展道路――中國特色社會主義道路，文明古國煥發(fā)了青春活力。

My beloved motherland is a country both old and young.She is old, because she is a big Oriental country with a civilization stretching back several thousand years.With diligence and wisdom, the Chinese nation created a splendid civilization and made significant contributions to the progress of humanity.She is young, because the People's Republic is just 60 years old, and the country began reform and opening-up only 30 years ago.The Chinese people established the New China after unremitting struggles and ultimately found a development path suited to China's national conditions through painstaking efforts.This is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Following this path, our ancient civilization has been rejuvenated.中華傳統(tǒng)文化底蘊深厚、博大精深。“和”在中國古代歷史上被奉為最高價值，是中華文化的精髓。中國古老的經(jīng)典――《尚書》就提出“百姓昭明，協(xié)和萬邦”的理想，主張人民和睦相處，國家友好往來。“和為貴”的文化傳統(tǒng)，哺育了中華民族寬廣博大的胸懷。我們的民族，既能像大地承載萬物一樣，寬厚包容；又能像蒼天剛健運行一樣，彰顯正義。

The traditional Chinese culture is rich, extensive and profound.Harmony, the supreme value cherished in ancient China, lies at the heart of the Chinese culture.The Book of History, an ancient classic in China for example, advocates amity among people and friendly exchanges among nations.The Chinese cultural tradition values peace as the most precious.This has nurtured the broad mind of the Chinese nation.The Chinese nation is generous and tolerant, just as Mother Earth cares for all living things.She is in constant pursuit of justice, just as the eternal movement of the Universe.很高興出席世界經(jīng)濟論壇2009年年會，并發(fā)表特別致辭。首先，我要感謝施瓦布主席的盛情邀請和周到安排。本屆年會意義特殊，在歷史罕見的國際金融危機之中，各國政要、企業(yè)家和專家學者聚集在這里，圍繞“重塑危機后的世界”這一主題，共同探討維護國際金融穩(wěn)定、促進世界經(jīng)濟增長的舉措，探索全球綜合治理之道，既有重要的現(xiàn)實意義，也體現(xiàn)了會議舉辦者的遠見卓識。各方面熱切期盼從這里聽到富有智慧的聲音，凝聚戰(zhàn)勝危機的力量。我們有責任向世界傳遞信心、勇氣和希望。我預祝本屆年會取得成功！

I am delighted to be here and address the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2009.Let me begin by thanking Chairman Schwab for his kind invitation and thoughtful arrangements.This annual meeting has a special significance.Amidst a global financial crisis rarely seen in history, it brings together government leaders, business people, experts and scholars of different countries to jointly explore ways to maintain international financial stability, promote world economic growth and better address global issues.Its theme ? “Shaping the Post-Crisis World” is highly relevant.It reflects the vision of its organizers.People from across the world are eager to hear words of wisdom from here that will give them strength to tide over the crisis.It is thus our responsibility to send to the world a message of confidence, courage and hope.I look forward to a successful meeting.青島坐落在山東半島南部，依山臨海，天姿秀美，氣候涼爽，人稱“東方瑞士”。白天青島宛如鑲嵌在黃海邊的綠寶石。夜里則像一只在大海中擺動的搖籃。難怪許多人樂意來這里療養(yǎng)。

Qingdao, known as the “Switzerland of the Orient”, is situated on the southern tip of Shandong Peninsula.Wedged between hills and waters, the city is endowed with a beautiful scenery and a delightful climate.By day, she looks like a green gem inlaid in the coastline of the Yellow Sea and, at night, a cradle rocking upon the sea waves.No wonder so many people come to seek rest and relaxation.作為中國最早的教育中心和科學研究中心，北京大學聚集了中國優(yōu)秀的專家學者，不斷開拓創(chuàng)新，改造發(fā)展，以培養(yǎng)出的高質(zhì)量人才和做出的高水平科學成果深刻影響和推動著中國高等教育的航程。一百年來，北京大學為代表的中國現(xiàn)代大學群，在中國走向現(xiàn)代化的歷史進程中起到了重要的先鋒作用，形成了光榮的革命傳統(tǒng)和優(yōu)良的學術傳統(tǒng)。

As China’s earliest center of education and scientific research, Beijing University has gathered China’s most brilliant specialists and scholars, continuously opened up, blazed new trails, engaged itself in reform and development for training high-quality talent and achieving high-level scientific fruits that deeply influenced and advanced the range of China’s higher education.Over the past hundred years, this group of China’s contemporary universities, with Beijing University as its stellar representative, has played a pioneering role in China’s historical course towards modernization, forming a glorious revolutionary as well as an exemplary academic tradition.周恩來的品德、人格、風范、情懷為中華民族樹立了一座精神豐碑。他那種勤勤懇懇、任勞任怨、全心全意為人民服務的奉獻精神；那種艱苦樸素、嚴于律己、心底無私、一心為公的清廉精神；那種顧全大局，不計個人榮辱得失的犧牲精神；那種實事求是的求實精神；那種言行一致的磊落精神,新手卡；那種對黨對國家和人民的高度責任感，工作一絲不茍，周密細致的精神，正是我們今天建設社會主義精神文明所迫切需要發(fā)揚光大的。

Zhou Enlai’s moral character, personality, style and noble sentiments constituted a paragon for the Chinese nation.His dedication as shown in his diligent, conscientious and hard working and whole-hearted service to the people, without any complaint;his incorruptibility as shown in his plain living, being strict with himself, selflessness and engrossment by public interest;his spirit of sacrifice as shown in his never being concerned about personal honor or disgrace, gain or loss in deference to the interests of the overall situation;his realistic approach of seeking truth from facts;his open and upright spirit of being as good as his words;his high sense of responsibility to the Party, the state and the people;his strict and careful spirit of working conscientiously and meticulously are all that we need urgently to carry forward in fostering our socialist spiritual civilization.A Paradise of the Birds Ba Jin

After we finished dinner at Chen’s little school, the heat of the day had already diminished.The sun retreated behind the hills, leaving brightly colored clouds hanging in the sky, over the hills and trees.“Let’s go boating!” Chen proposed, as we watched the mountain view by the pond in front of the school gate.“Great,” the rest of the group answered enthusiastically.We walked through a gravel path, and before long we reached the bank, where a pavilion stood made of straw.Filing through the pavilion, we found several small boats anchored under two big trees along the bank.One after another, we hopped into one of the boats.One friend loosened the rope, pushed the bamboo pole against the bank, which moved the boat to the center of the river.Three friends were rowing;Ye and I were sitting in the middle, enjoying ourselves in the scenery surrounding us.In the distance a pagoda was erected on the top of a hill, surrounded by many green trees.It was rare to see such a pagoda, and over there it was the hometown of my friend Ye.The river was wide, the water glistening without a ripple.The boat was steadily floating on the water, the three oars pulling in rhythm.Then the river narrowed at a certain point.Clusters of leaves stretched out touching the water’s surface.The leaves were in a lovely green color.There seemed to be many lush banyan trees, but I couldn’t make out where the main trunks of the trees were.My friends immediately corrected me as I referred to them as being many banyan trees.One of them said it was only one banyan, and another said there were two.I had seen many enormous banyans before, but it was the first time I saw such a gigantic one.As the boat drew nearer to the banyan, I finally got a good look at it.This was a huge tree, with countless branches, on which grew aerial prop roots.Many of the roots were dangling to the ground, some all the way into the soil.There were branches hanging above the water.Seen from a distance, the tree seemed to be reposed on the water.It was in the lush season(the tree bearing little fruits, many of which had fallen.)The banyan seemed to showcase its vibrant life energy to us.There were many leaves, clusters over clusters, with not even a tiny hole existing.The emerald green shining brightly in front of our eyes, it was like on each leaf there was a new life dancing.What a tree it is growing in the beautiful southern part of China!

The boat was moored under the tree for a moment, but we didn’t get onto the bank because it was so wet.A friend said it was known as the ‘paradise of the birds’ here.The local peasants forbade anyone to catch these birds.I thought I had heard some sounds of flapping wings, but by the time I shifted my eyes to that direction, I didn’t see any birds.There were many roots sticking out on the ground, looking like stakes.The soil was wet, perhaps for the tides frequently washed onto the shore.There were no birds in the “paradise of the birds,” I thought.The boat moved again, as a friend pushed the boat, and it drifted to the center of the river.Along the path in the crop fields on the shore there were some litchi trees, with clusters of the red weighty fruits hiding among the leaves.Our boat was heading towards there.A friend pulled the boat into a ditch with an oar.We moored the boat at the path, and jumped onto the bank.Two friends swiftly climbed up the trees, throwing down several clusters of litchis with leaves.Chen, Ye and I were down below catching them.After they came down, we ate the litchis as we headed back to the boat.On the following day, we boated to Ye’s hometown, the place we had seen the hills and the pagoda.Setting off from Chen’s little school, we passed the ‘paradise of the birds’ again.This time it was morning, and the sun was pouring over the water, as well as the branches.Everything was extremely bright.We stopped under the tree for a moment.It was very quiet at first, but then a burst of chirps broke the silence.Chen clapped his hands, and we saw a big bird flying over, then a second, and a third.We continued to clap, and soon the woods became very boisterous.Bird chirps were all over the place, and so were the birds, the big ones, small ones, variegated ones and black ones.Some perched on the branches, chirping;some were flying up;some were flapping their wings.I busied myself by watching them.Just as I saw this one clearly, I already missed the other one, and when I turned my eyes to the second one, the third one had flown off.A thrush flew out, but was startled by our clapping and then turned back into the woods.It stopped at a thin branch, and started to sing enthusiastically.The sounds were so beautiful.“Let’s go.” Ye rushed me to leave.As the boat was floating to the village under the pagoda, I kept turning back to look at the lush banyan left behind.I felt a little melancholy to leave this place.Yesterday, I was cheated by my eyes.The “paradise of the birds” is a real paradise for the birds!

June, 1933 in Guangzhou.Guo Yue of China returns the ball in the women's single finals against her teammate Li Xiaoxia at the world table tennis championships in Zagreb May 25, 2007.Guo beat Li 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8 to win the women's singles title.北京時間5月25日，在薩格勒布世界乒乓球錦標賽女子單打決賽上，郭躍以大比分4－3逆轉隊友李曉霞，奪得了本屆世乒賽女單冠軍。

Zhang Yining and Guo Yan, both of China, picked bronze medals.張怡寧和郭燕獲得了此次比賽的銅牌。

The 18-year-old Guo was jolted awake in the fifth set, sweeping three sets in a row to triumph 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8.18歲的郭躍在第五局中調(diào)整了心態(tài)，連勝三局。

Fourth-seeded Guo, who stunned defending Olympic and world champion Zhang Yining in the semifinals, didn't find her touch until the end of the fourth set, in which she had once trailed 0-9.四號種子郭躍在半決賽的第四局中曾以0比9落后于未免世界冠軍張怡寧，直到這一局快要結束才表現(xiàn)出自己的特長。

Guo used her forehand topspin and lightning backhand flicks to win the fifth set 11-5 and then the sixth 11-2.在第五局和第六局，郭躍使用正手擊球和反手擊球的戰(zhàn)術分別以11-5和11-2輕松獲勝。

Both players were technically correct in the final set but the championship game was usually a battle of minds.At the end of the fourth set the momentum was with Li, now it was with Guo.最后一局兩位隊員在技術上不分伯仲（均沒有出現(xiàn)失誤），但比賽往往也是一場心理素質(zhì)的較量。

Li looked disconsolate as she made errors with Guo moving into a 4-0 lead.When the

players changed ends Guo was 5-0 ahead, prompting Li to call “Time Out”.She returned to serve a clean ace.由于自已的失誤而導致郭躍以4-0領先，李曉霞有些郁郁寡歡。換場時，郭躍以5-0領先，李曉霞喊了暫停。回來后，憑發(fā)球獲得一分。

Guo called “Time Out” with a 7-3 lead and then went ahead 10-4。

在7-3領先的情況下，郭躍喊了暫停，隨后將比分追到了10-4。

第五篇：大英4泛讀翻譯Book4

2．不確定的未來

從中國人踏上美國國土的那一刻起，他們的夢想就變成了美國夢。他們在加利福尼亞的塵土中爭奪金子，他們渴望擁有自己的土地與事業(yè)，渴望通過戰(zhàn)斗，使自己的孩子與美國小孩一樣，在學校里受教育。美國華裔們與大部分移民一樣，來這兒是為了逃離戰(zhàn)爭與饑荒，遠離迫害與貧窮。又與其他移民的后裔一般，他們的子孫開始稱美國為“祖國”。

如果美國除去華裔們?yōu)槠淙〉玫某删停撬鼘⒉粫蔀榻袢罩绹Ｒ淮忠淮娜A裔子孫，為將美國建設成當?shù)目涨笆r而奮斗。他們?yōu)閮?nèi)戰(zhàn)而搏，建造的鐵路使整個國家融為一體。華裔們早期的正義之戰(zhàn)，為隨后的民權運動奠定了新的法律基礎。他們?yōu)槊绹瞥闪耸讉€火箭并幫助其贏得了冷戰(zhàn)。在硅谷和其他地方，他們的貢獻使美國在信息時代建立并保持其優(yōu)勢地位。今天這些華裔分散在每個我們可想象的行業(yè)中：有投資者，教師，作者，醫(yī)生，工程師，律師，首席執(zhí)行官，社會工作者，會計，建筑師，警察，消防員，演員和宇航員。

可悲的是，盡管這么長時間的貢獻，許多華裔在美國仍然被當成外國人。大部分新移民者將會遭遇這樣的嘲笑：“從哪兒來回哪兒去吧！”就像有人說的，美國華裔們就像客人一樣呆在其他人屋子里，不能將腳放在桌子上，不能得到真正的放松。中式口音與文化傳統(tǒng)可能會消失，但我們的皮膚顏色與眼睛形狀卻無法改變。

這些特性讓一些人理所當然地將美國華人視為異類，自然也就稱不上是純正的美國人了。美國大眾媒體把美國華人模式化，把他們描繪成與生俱來就與美國人不同，無法改變。因而美國華人的美國化被這種輕而易舉但帶有欺騙性的模式化蒙上了陰影。

用人類的觀點來看，什么是造成這種不和的因素呢？一個在加利福尼亞洲，西柯汶納的本地委員會成員，有人在電話里對他說：“哇，你完全就像一個真正的美國人，一點兒都沒有中式口音。”醫(yī)學電視劇中美籍華人醫(yī)生不多，事實上，美國每六個醫(yī)生中就有一個是亞裔美國人。

1999年6月，劉云平出生于俄亥俄州，在加利福尼亞讀大學，在華盛頓郵報上介紹了他做美國空軍上尉時的一個小故事：

“你是中國空軍嗎？”旁邊一位穿著得體的女士問道。這個問題讓我一時說不出話來。要知道我們是在一個頒獎晚宴上，而我正驕傲地穿著美國空軍的藍色制服，佩戴著上尉軍銜以及各種勛章和獎牌。因此她的問題使我有些惱怒，也讓我意識到就算美國空軍的藍色制服也不足以徹底改變她最初的想法，即亞洲上的黃種人從某些方面來說不算是美國人。

我希望這只是個獨立的小插曲。但遺憾的是，時至今日美國仍然有很多人將美國華裔視作在美國的外國人??身為美國空軍的一名長官，有一天我或許會被要求將生命獻給我的國家。如果有人依然對我所說的“我的國家”代表著什么抱有疑問的話，那將是我的恥辱。

只需對每個中國出身的美國名人有淺薄的了解，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，不管他們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝醋吭降某删停瑢γ绹鐣兄啻蟮呢暙I，事實上他們每個人的身份或多或少都受到過質(zhì)疑。

宗毓華是美國歷史上第二個網(wǎng)絡晚間新聞播報的女性聯(lián)合主持，她在那樣一種不受歡迎的新聞編輯室的氛圍里挺了過來。作為極少數(shù)的女性之一已經(jīng)夠糟了，然而她說：“早期在哥倫比亞廣播系統(tǒng)時，71年到76年，我被稱作‘黃色新聞佬’——有些話語已經(jīng)明顯涉及了種族問題。”但是到了后期，1990年，有一個叫做克里夫·金凱德的華盛頓廣播主持人直接稱她為“宗國佬”。

林瓔現(xiàn)在是美國最負盛名的女性建筑師，而1980年當她還是一個耶魯大學沒畢業(yè)的學生時，她因贏得了在華盛頓舉辦的全國的越戰(zhàn)紀念碑設計方案的征集而被惡意攻擊。“怎么能讓一個外國佬來設計越戰(zhàn)紀念碑？”一些越戰(zhàn)老兵質(zhì)疑道，“為何能容忍一個美籍亞裔女人為在亞洲發(fā)生的戰(zhàn)爭中犧牲的美國人民設計紀念碑？”

在1998年的奧林匹克運動會上，當美國花樣滑冰選手關穎珊在她的隊友塔拉·利平斯基后面第二個完成比賽時，微軟聯(lián)網(wǎng)新聞的頭條報道到：“美國人打敗了關穎珊”。

許多美籍華裔對媒體自動將她歸于外國人這一舉動十分憤怒，而事實上，關穎珊在美國出生，在美國受到教育，也是在美國接受溜冰訓練。四年過去，這個錯誤在關穎珊輸給薩拉?休斯與金牌擦肩而過時再一次重演，因西雅圖時報副標題稱“美國人大爆滑冰冷門，使關穎珊和斯路斯卡婭相形見絀”。

1998年，職為加利福利亞洲的財務長鄺杰靈在競選聯(lián)邦議員時，有記者盤問他說，如果爆發(fā)中美戰(zhàn)爭，他會支持中國還是支持美國。鄺杰靈是第四代華裔，他的母親余江月桂女士，是首位任職加州政府秘書長的女性美籍華裔。鄺杰靈無從回答輸贏問題，只得回應時代周刊記者，“在美國‘自由平等’的表面下，還是存在著微妙的俗習陳見和種族歧視的。”

2001年5月，首位被選入美國眾議院的華裔吳振偉出席一次會議時竟在華盛頓特區(qū)能源部大樓被保安拒之門外。隨后，吳振偉表示：“最令我震憤的是，在我出示國會議員身份證明，且我的國會助理劉云平出示了員工證再次證實后，竟然一再質(zhì)疑我美國公民的身份！”

2001年，趙小蘭自哈佛商學院畢業(yè)，任職聯(lián)邦海事委員會主席及交通部助理秘書。她是喬治?沃克?布什總統(tǒng)任命其為勞工部秘書后，史上被納入總統(tǒng)顧問團的美籍華裔第一人。當她的批判者們以她的中國血統(tǒng)為由刁難，趙小蘭的丈夫參議員米奇?麥康奈爾站出來指責了這些“一定程度的種族詆毀”，“黃熱病佬”云云言論以及媒體界所持的排外態(tài)度。

此類事件屢次三番發(fā)生，而后一個問題被拋出，在美國華人社區(qū)呼聲高漲：到底還要幾般俯首屈從才能成為“真正”的美國公民？

這些種族主義事件并非偶然發(fā)生，憑空捏造的。這也不完全是在物理差異的基礎上產(chǎn)生的。縱觀美國歷史，的確，在大多數(shù)社會形式中，統(tǒng)治階級像操控機制一樣肆意剝削異民族勞動力——作為一個方便的借口來讓自己的控制更容易為接受。種族主義經(jīng)常分裂和減少美國勞工--通過阻止白聯(lián)盟和彩色工人來幫助他們贏得那些影響他們的問題--使得政府在緊急情況下擴大其權力范圍，如在經(jīng)濟蕭條和戰(zhàn)爭這種時候，整個民族可以被犧牲的替罪羊集會領袖的解決方案背后的人。這是在美國的華人在排除時代前夕的命運。

3.羞恥

誰感到羞愧？什么使他羞愧？為什么作者要描寫他對這個小女孩青澀的暗戀？愛與自卑之間到底有什么聯(lián)系？理解了這些，你將找到這個故事的主題。

我在家從未有過憎惡感、羞恥感，而自從去了學校，我就有了這樣的感受。記得大約7歲那年，我得到了一次深刻的教訓。那時，我喜歡上一個叫海琳·塔克的小女孩，她膚色白皙，扎著馬尾辮，舉止也很優(yōu)雅。她在校總是衣著整潔，成績優(yōu)異。我覺得我去學校主要是為了看她。我會梳理好自己的頭發(fā)并帶上一塊舊的小手帕。盡管這手帕是一個婦人的，可我卻不想讓海琳看到我用手擦鼻涕的樣子。天很冷，水管再次冰凍，盡管家里沒有水，但我仍會在每天晚上清洗我的襪子和襯衣。我會拿上一個罐子去本先生的食品雜貨店，將它放在蘇打水冷藏柜下面，然后掏出一些冰塊放在里面。到了晚上，我就可以用那些冰塊化成的水來洗衣服。那年冬天我常常生病，因為在夜晚爐火會在衣服烘干之前熄滅。到第二天早晨，不管那衣服是濕還是干，我都會穿上，因為那是我唯一的衣服。

每個人的心中都有一個海琳·塔克，她就是你所想的一切優(yōu)點的代表。我喜歡她，因為她善良、整潔、人緣好。如果她走在我回家的路上，我的兄弟姐妹就會大聲叫道“海琳來了”，然后我會將網(wǎng)球鞋的鞋面在褲腳上擦幾下，希望我的頭發(fā)不那么凌亂，普通的白色襯衫更加服帖。接著就沖到路上，如果我知趣的話，便不會走得太近，這時她就會向我眨眼并問好。那是一種很不錯的感覺。有時候，我會一直跟在她后面走，鏟去路上的積雪，并試圖和她的媽媽、阿姨做朋友。晚上，我會在從小旅館擦鞋回來的路上將錢放在她家的門階上。

她有個爸爸，工作不錯，是個糊墻紙工。

我猜想到夏天我便會把海琳忘卻，但是22年以來，在那間教室發(fā)生的事情，使她的面孔在我腦海里揮之不去。我為了她，在高中參加擊鼓活動，在大學打破了某項記錄。甚至當我站在臺上的麥克風邊上聽到掌聲時，我也是希望她能夠聽到這些的。一直到22歲，我結婚了，工作賺錢了，她才終于從我的生命中淡去，不再影響我。當我為自己感到羞愧時，海琳就坐在那間教室里。

那個周四，我坐在教室的后面的位子上，座位周圍被人用粉筆畫了個圈，代表這兒坐著的是個白癡，是個麻煩制造者。

老師認為我是個笨蛋。我不會拼寫，不會朗讀，不會算術。我就是個笨蛋！老師從來不會花心思去注意到你因為沒有吃早飯因為肚子很餓而沒有集中注意力。你所能想到的也就是中午，中午還能不能到得了呢？也許你可以溜進衣帽間，偷一些孩子們大衣口袋里的午飯來吃。一點兒吃的，比如漿糊。你不可能真的拿漿糊當飯，或者將它們涂在面包上當三明治；但是有時候，我還是會從教室后面的漿缸里舀幾匙漿糊。懷孕的人口味很怪，而我卻是滿懷貧困，滿懷污垢和令人掩鼻的臭味，滿懷凄涼和寒冷。我從來沒穿過專為我買的鞋子，我的床上還擠著另外5個人，可是隔壁房間里沒有爸爸。并且饑餓一直與我同在。當我非常餓的時候，漿糊吃起來也就不那么難以下咽了。

老師認為我是一個麻煩制造者。她總是在教室前面看見一個黑人小男孩愚蠢地坐在座位上，東張西望制造噪音影響其他孩子，卻看不見這個孩子之所以弄出聲音是想引起老師的注意。

那一天是周四，黑人發(fā)薪日的前一天。福利金通常是在周五發(fā)放。老師要求每一位學生問他們的父親可以為社區(qū)福利基金捐多少錢。在周五晚上，每位孩子都會從他們父親那兒拿到錢，并在周一將錢帶到學校。我決定我要給自己買一個爸爸。我口袋里的錢是靠擦皮鞋、賣報紙掙來的。并且無論海琳?塔克從她爸爸那兒拿多少錢，我都要超越它。我現(xiàn)在手里有錢，直到周一才會以爸爸的名義拿出來。

我有點發(fā)抖，緊張得要死。老師打開她的書，開始按字母順序叫名字。

“海琳?塔克？”

“我爸爸說他會給兩美元五十美分。

“那太好了。海琳，非常，非常好。”

這讓我感覺非常好。我不會花太多錢去超越它。我口袋里有好多一角硬幣和二十五分硬幣，差不多三美元。我把手放進口袋里，牢牢地抓住錢，等待她叫我的名字。但是老師喊了教室每一個人的名字后合上了書。

我站起來，舉起我的手。“現(xiàn)在是怎么回事？” “你忘了我。”

她轉過身面朝著黑板：“我沒有時間陪你玩，理查德。”

“我爸爸說他可以??”

“坐下，理查德，你在擾亂課堂秩序。”

“我爸爸說他可以捐??捐十五美元。”

她轉過來，看起來十分生氣：“我們是在為你還有和你一樣的人募捐，理查德·格雷戈里。如果你的爸爸能捐出十五美元，那你還需要什么政府扶助金？”

“我現(xiàn)在就帶它著呢，我現(xiàn)在帶著呢，我爸爸把錢給我讓我今天交的，他說??”

“還有，”她盯著我說，她的鼻孔在擴張，嘴唇越抿越緊，眼睛也瞪得大大的。“我們都知道你沒有爸爸。”

海琳·塔克轉過頭來，她的眼睛里噙滿淚水。她為我感到難過。然后我就看不清她了，因為我也哭了。

“坐下，理查德。” 我一直以為老師是有點兒喜歡我的，她總是在星期五放學后讓我擦洗黑板。那曾使我很激動，覺得自己很重要。如果我不擦洗黑板，也許下周一學校就不能正常上課了。

“你要去哪兒，理查德？”

那天我走出了學校，此后很長一段時間我都沒怎么回去。因為那里曾讓我感到羞恥。

現(xiàn)在我覺得羞愧的無地自容，教室就像我的整個世界，每個人都聽到了老師的話，每個人都面帶歉意的看向我。參加最值得的孩子的圣誕晚宴也讓我覺得羞愧，因為所有人都知道這個“最值得的孩子”是什么。為什么他們不能直接叫兒童晚宴？為什么他們非要那么叫它？我為穿著福利院給三千個孩子的棕色，橙色和白色格子花彩格厚呢外衣而感到羞愧，為什么每個人穿的都一樣以至于你一走在大街上，人們就知道你是靠著救濟生活的人。那件外衣是件很好的暖和的衣服，它還帶有一個風帽，當我媽媽在塞滿垃圾的桶底找到它的時候，她打罵了我，并說，我是一個小人。我為每天晚上跑去本先生家要他的腐爛的桃子感到羞愧，我為向西蒙先生要一勺糖而羞恥，我為跑去救濟車而感到自卑。我恨那輛車，裝滿了給你的食物和善意。當它再次來的時候我跑到屋子里藏了起來，然后從小路跑到遠處，他們就不會在那家免費餐廳看到我。是啊，那天整個世界都聽到了老師說了什么，我們都知道你沒有爸爸。

4.勇敢面對

一個寒冷的下午的足球比賽是在1937年發(fā)生。這些球員是哈佛大學的學生,在波士頓附近,在美利堅合眾國。美式足球是一個粗糙的游戲,很容易受傷。球員們通常是強大的,堅實的年輕人。但在這場合一名球員是長得又高又瘦。他沒有足夠的足球非常擁擠。但他是敏銳的,而是,盡管成功。他喜歡戶外運動和出場大部分得很好。他無論做什么都是盡心去。他是約翰,肯尼迪。23年后,他將成為美國的總統(tǒng)。

像激動的游戲模式增加了每個人匆忙球在一次。他們降落在彼此的頂部在堅硬的、冷冰冰地。約翰·肯尼迪下面。當其他的男人挑選自己站起來,準備繼續(xù)比賽,他一動不動的躺著。最初它是難以移動。他覺得如果他揪住了他背后的東西。他的胳膊和腿似乎不工作。他慢慢地站了起來。鋒利的感到劇痛他回來直立行走。但他拒絕有幫助,他離開了現(xiàn)場。

那天,他傷害他的背得如此厲害,以致它給麻煩他余下的生命。但是很少人無論在玩牌的時候,還是以后,知道這常常忙和有吸引力的人是痛苦的。這不是他的性格中放棄。

約翰肯尼迪出生,就像一句老話說的那樣,“銀勺在他九歲”。他的父親約瑟夫·肯尼迪,是一個富有的銀行家。他的母親,玫瑰,是一個著名的波士頓的女兒的政治家。她在法國受過教育。約瑟夫·肯尼迪有足夠的錢給他的每個一百萬元九個孩子的母親,他們到達了21歲。

約翰真的沒有很努力奮斗。他不需要工作,他的生活。但是他的父母帶孩子來領導使用壽命不管什么財富都要他們。他們教人們?nèi)绾螔暝驳孟袼麄兡軣o論他們相信并且不要害怕競爭。他們教人們?nèi)绾蚊鎸ι畹挠職?沒有抱怨。這是幸運的。因為,盡管約翰的錢可以提供最好的醫(yī)生,他從來沒有完美的健康的禮物或疼痛的緩解。

肯尼迪家族是一個活潑的家人彼此爭吵和斗爭,因為大多數(shù)的孩子才會做的事。但他們彼此非常忠誠。他們來自一個愛爾蘭人家庭和屬于天主教堂。他們的宗教對于他們來說很重要,他們學會了兒童保護他們的信心。美國是一個強烈的新教的國家。

肯尼迪的父母對子女的。什么似乎是不可能的。他們的祖父輩已經(jīng)抵達美國時身無分文,教育,使他們的財富。他們自己的努力給他們的孩子在生活中一個很好的機會。誰知道約翰和他的兄弟姐妹可能會做什么? 孩子們向他們的古老的哥哥喬帶路。像許多美國兒童,他希望有一天成為總統(tǒng)。他是同性戀的,性情急躁,好學生和自信的領導人。他研究是一個律師,似乎肯定是他祖父的政治家都喜歡。

約翰是安靜的。他喜歡書籍和研究雖然他沒有得到前在學校的成績,像他哥哥。他似乎很可能成為一個老師或作家。

當孩子長大成人之后就到國外旅行。約翰花了一個暑假在英國當他十八歲。當他二十歲時他和一個朋友穿越歐洲。就在1937年。歐洲走向第二次世界大戰(zhàn)。大多數(shù)美國人不感興趣外面發(fā)生了什么美國。但當約翰回到哈佛他開始接受一個更嚴重的興趣在歷史上以及政府。他還花了很多時間在戶外,游泳和航行。相反,他們走向數(shù)英里外的另一個海島。他們游,或者一個日志上漂來漂去,到岸邊。他的一個同伴受傷所以約翰,他是一個很好的游泳者,把他同用一根繩子,他控制住自己的牙齒,直到他們到達島上。

那天晚上,他幾乎累后12小時在水里,他又游了尋找?guī)椭Ｒ粋€星期以來,他繼續(xù)做一個接一個的嘗試去拿幫助他的十一個人。他們沒有食物或水。最后他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個證明了島上的土著美國人要友善。他把一個信息帶來的美國船去救他們。這時候他們是如此的虛弱和生病的他們不能一直活得更長一些。

約翰的勇氣,在這個時間使他尊貴。但他犧牲了自己的力量。他病了一年多之后,被迫救他,最后,從海軍退役的職責。.戰(zhàn)爭快結束了,但這是一個悲傷的時間為約翰。他知道他的兄弟和他的兩個姐夫(他姐姐的丈夫)被殺死。

約翰不得不考慮他下一步干什么。他作為一名報社記者去到舊金山會議開始,聯(lián)合國組織。這是一個很重要的世界事件。當他回到波士頓,他的父親提到一個國會議員從馬薩諸塞州的放棄了他的職務。“你為什么不參加競選國會嗎,約翰? “他補充說。約翰考慮清楚了,決定試一試。

它似乎是不可能的,他會當選。他太年輕的,富裕的和沒有經(jīng)驗的有嚴重的獲勝的機會。和其他候選人有9個,很多比賽。盡管他身材高大,有男子氣概,一流的眼睛和一個友好的微笑,他消瘦而蒼白,看起來精致。但有幾件事對他有利。是他的勇氣。另一個是他的誠實。麻薩諸塞州有其股票不誠實的政客。肯尼迪的錢幫助讓他知道的廣泛關注。肯尼迪家族的大曼聯(lián)為他的演講和公開露面,也有助于贏得很多選票。最重要的是,約翰自己下定決心要成功,因為他總是是,沒有什么可以阻止他。他工作非常努力,有少的睡眠。他走進房屋、商店、工廠、酒店、無論他可能會遇到一他答應工作為窮人提供更好的條件——更好的待遇、房；他不認為自己是一個富人的兒子；他表明他很樂意幫這不能幫助自己選舉,他還是很容易被派往華盛頓為美國國會議員。

從那時起,約翰·肯尼迪,他的嚴肅態(tài)度和容易的魅力,變成了金色的男孩的美國政治。他不能失去。6年之后他回到了華盛頓,國會議員在更重要的工作從麻薩諸塞州的參議員。

后來在1960年,他當選總統(tǒng)的最富有的和世界上最強大的國家。在四十三歲的他是最年輕的總統(tǒng)有過,第一位是天主教徒。肯尼迪家族,年輕、有才華、有吸引力,像一個皇室家庭。當下、約翰的可愛的妻子杰奎琳是完美的年輕的皇后。肯尼迪家族還粘在一起。約翰的兄弟羅伯特,年齡35歲了,現(xiàn)在成了他最信任的顧問和國家的司法部長。

三年后,肯尼迪總統(tǒng)死了。他被一個刺客,他騎他的妻子一個開著車穿過街道的德克薩斯州的達拉斯。是什么使得他,在如此短的時間作為總統(tǒng),這樣一個明亮的光點在美國政治場面?他為什么比總統(tǒng)更出名的壽命長和表現(xiàn)得更多?約翰·肯尼迪什么名字代表什么? 也許答案是可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在與他的哥哥,司法部長,他試圖確保法律對他的國家給黑人與白人平等的機會。這是時間,他說,讓它“明確一切種族沒有發(fā)生在美國生活或法律”。他試過了,沒有成功,為了獲得更好的醫(yī)療照顧老人。他想改善教育。歷史已經(jīng)開始顯示肯尼迪,作為美國總統(tǒng),嚴重的錯誤。這是在自由之名,他帶領他的國家的深入研究,其殘酷的,是沒有希望的越南戰(zhàn)爭。

這是肯尼迪,這個人,他把他的郵票貼在1960年代早期的世界。而不是疲倦的老人帶領大多數(shù)的國家,一個新的明星已上升。一個明亮的、有才華、勇敢的年輕人,他能做很多事情做好,選擇了政治的簡陋的生活因為他想要一個美好的世界。從而讓每個人。他使人——特別是美國人——認為更好的自己,因為他是其中之一。

他非常欽佩什么樣的勇氣使人獨自站在一邊的東西他們認為是正確的。有一次,當他從傷病中恢復生病,他寫了一本關于人的例子的那種勇氣。他是一個例子,它自己。

5.一支步槍,一把斧頭和一袋玉米

一支步槍,一把斧頭和一袋玉米。這是一場激烈的戰(zhàn)斗的武器——而鼓起了勇氣,一場斗爭,在其中只有強者存活。

不像往常一樣跑的戰(zhàn)役,這不是一個戰(zhàn)斗中的一個有組織的軍隊向另一個人,這是一個更優(yōu)越的之間的戰(zhàn)爭的男人、女人和孩子在這邊、未知的荒野的。

從1770年到1840年西方運動了一把人們成百上千。成群的土地避難者涌入密西西比河流域。它成為牛群。單身男人打包及左、家庭卷走了整個城鎮(zhèn)收拾起自己的東西,離開了。美國是在移動。在1770年有五千人阿巴拉契亞山脈以西。1840年,共有八百萬數(shù)百萬數(shù)百萬英畝的土地被移動的部落。

從來沒有見過這樣的運動的世界。這是一個永無止境的小溪。城鎮(zhèn)和村莊幾乎在一夜之間拔地而起。“愉悅山在杰斐遜,俄亥俄州,是在1810年一個小哈姆雷特的7個住在船艙。在1815年,它包含90個家庭編號500的靈魂,有7個商店和3個酒館,是從議事廳,校舍,market-house、機器為紡羊毛、工廠制作線、40工匠和力學代表11交易。”

在1817年約翰Calhoun說:“我們是偉大的,并迅速——我想說的是恐懼-成長。“也許恐懼是正確的字。

單獨的數(shù)字呼的故事。密歇根州有

1810年:4000人 1820年:8000人 1830年:31000人 1840年:212000人

這只有三十年了!這是驚人的。擴大的線條,移動,移動,曾經(jīng)向西移動。從這個巨大的大小西進運動人們很自然地會想去西方世界上最容易的工作。一點也不。大多數(shù)這些感人的人移動主要是因為有很少或根本沒有錢,所以長毛絨的座位在快速火車旅行將使得在二十四小時內(nèi)不適合自己的;此外,火車如同我們知道他們根本不存在任何、金錢或不是。高超的混凝土路面我們熟悉甚至沒有夢想,卡車和汽車襯墊減振器、舒適的彈簧和橡膠輪胎,在七十五年后的未來。沒有,因為這些早期的拓荒者,去西部他們想做的事情,而不是因為它是容易的去做。阿巴拉契亞山脈,雖然不高的落基山脈,然而,一個真正的障礙。

河流穿越群山是正確的,當然,有很大幫助。但是旅行者不得不福特小溪,使他的家人和牛在并不是很簡單的。有時候一個夏天雨水會膨脹成一座山溪,要用毀滅的篩籮。然后穿過是很危險的。總是有害怕攻擊印第安人。一旦安全跑過山,會是一個更容易一些。然后整個家庭、丈夫、妻子、兒女、牲畜可以上漂流或龍骨船浮在一條河,與當前的下游。不幸的是,因為有那么多的人正在旅途西部,很難弄到的一條船馬上。既然每個人都在移動時工人很難找到。經(jīng)常旅行的家庭將會等待幾周之前,其船建造。并且,永遠,甚至當向河的下游漂去,突然襲擊的危險的印第安人在岸邊。因為這個原因,許多flatboats完全封閉的四周,以便他們看起來像漂浮城堡。

無論這條路是夠寬、馬車被使用。但許多人買不起甚至是原始的,不舒服的馬車的時候。看到一家人走幾百英里步行是一種司空見慣。通常就是可憐的觀看。“一個家庭的8從緬因州到印地安那州一路走到伊頓,爸爸。(約415英里),他們到達晚在二月,拖著孩子們和他們的世俗財物一只手上推車。來自羅德島州的一個鐵匠在死寂的冬天在麻薩諸塞州到奧爾巴尼(約200英里)。在一個小輪車四板材一英尺的直徑都有些衣服,一些食物和兩個孩子。它背后沿著母親帶著個嬰兒在乳腺癌和7其他孩子在她身邊。“這花了那樣的勇氣去面對困難。

不,再遠不是一件容易的事。這是一個生活充滿艱辛。稍后,在全國建立了道路汽船代替了flatboats和印地安人終于推回到足夠遠的危險性,即使那時旅程有其困難和危險。然而成群結隊的人們還在繼續(xù)推動西部。盡管偶爾地產(chǎn)公司幫助移民去的土地,他們想要出售的,有時團體的鄰居來自東部城鎮(zhèn)會團結起來、旅游于一體,不過西方就填滿了,在大多數(shù)情況下,由不同的家庭。丈夫、妻子和孩子,渴望自己的土地,這是最常見的單位,冒著危險的旅行,去爬山,跋涉在創(chuàng)新,飄落河流,雕刻了一個家密集的荒野。

6．看世界

我在英國劍橋學習期間有4周的復活節(jié)假期，便作出了將生活必需品扔進行囊前往“歐洲大陸”的決定。在因特網(wǎng)上簡單地搜索了一下，就找到了一張從倫敦斯坦斯特德機場到柏林的廉價機票。幾天后我就站在了柏林舍那費爾特機場的德國移民局官員面前，拿著我的中國護照和其他旅行文件。隨著他“砰”的一聲在我的申根簽證上蓋了戳，我就可以自由地在歐洲大部分地區(qū)漫游了。

背著行囊到各個國家旅行，這在西方年輕人當中極為流行，但在亞洲青年當中還不普遍。西方人長期以來就喜歡探索“神秘的東方”，但在我們東方人中卻很少有人對“神秘的西方”有真正的體驗。在此我不想揣測這一特有現(xiàn)象的背后原因，我只想解釋一下一位21歲的中國學生是如何背著行囊獨自完成了一次奇妙的歐洲之旅。

到了歐洲大陸后的當務之急就是需要現(xiàn)鈔，但不是我存在中國銀行賬戶里的人民幣，也不是美國賬戶里的美元，怎樣才能得到歐元呢？我找到了一個ATM自動提款機，把我的銀行卡插進去，不一會兒歐元就進了我的錢包，國際金融體系已經(jīng)使旅行者能相當方便地獲得當?shù)刎泿拧Ｖ袊酥灰袊H上認可的借記卡（如VISA卡、Master卡）就能以當前的兌換率從歐洲的ATM機中換出歐元，兌換率比去當?shù)氐耐鈪R兌換處還要優(yōu)惠，而你在國內(nèi)銀行存的是人民幣也沒有關系，一樣能換。

我們中國人一說到出國旅行，一個令人生畏的問題就會蹦出來———語言怎么辦？這個問題在我們想去歐洲時就會更為可怕，因為歐洲的每一個國家?guī)缀醵加兴约旱恼Z言———荷蘭語、捷克語、法語、德語、希臘語、意大利語、葡萄牙語、西班牙語，還有很多很多其他語言。但不必害怕：如果你的英語很好，就能很容易地應對一切。歐洲的很多標志和大多數(shù)旅行文件都有英文譯文，而且歐洲人的英語水平也越來越高。此外，一些重要詞匯在很多歐洲語言中都差不多，比如，當你需要用衛(wèi)生間（英文是toilet）時，在法國你就去找toilette，在德國就是Toilette，在意大利是toletta，在葡萄牙是toalete。盡管如此，知道一點兒當?shù)卣Z言絕對有幫助，因為當?shù)厝讼矚g你能夠說幾個哪怕是極簡單的詞，像法語中的“你好”是bonjour，意大利語中的“謝謝”是grazie，德語中的“對不起，請原諒”是entschuldigung。

令人遺憾的是，有時你不知道想說的詞該怎么說，那是否就意味著談話要結束了？非也。即便你的詞庫已經(jīng)窮盡了，你還有最后一招，也常常是很有意思的一招———身體語言。在參觀了“東部畫廊”———柏林墻所遺留下的最長的部分，我來到一個輕軌車站下面的小餐館坐下，那里的人們幾乎都不說英語，他們的德語也有著很怪的口音，所以我進去之后就沒有與他們過多地交談。我在菜單上的好幾處都看到“Ente”一詞，但我在耶魯大學的德語課上從來沒學過這個詞，便問服務員Ente是什么。他撓撓腦袋，環(huán)顧四周，急切地尋求幫助，但是柜臺后面的人們聳聳肩，搖搖頭，就在我剛想說“不必介意”時，他開始晃著屁股，并且發(fā)出“嘎嘎”的聲音———鴨子！肯定是鴨子！他的啞劇表演非常有效地把Ente的意思表達了出來，與此同時，這種身體語言帶來了神奇的打破堅冰般的效果，就餐氣氛活躍多了。

為了輕裝旅行，我總是盡量不帶重的東西，但有一樣有分量的東西我總是帶在身邊，那就是旅游手冊。我從旅游手冊《去歐洲》一書中獲得了有關我要去的目的地、旅舍及交通的大部分信息。在背囊旅行者中大受歡迎的另一套旅游手冊是《孤獨的星球》系列叢書。凡是有重要的旅游點的地方，這些書里都標有地圖，書里還提供大量的有關旅舍、旅館、餐廳、酒吧等處的信息，因此旅游者總有選擇的余地。書上還有公共交通的詳細地圖，汽車與火車的班次、票價以及從一地到另一地所需要的時間，這就使你能夠做出一個很好的計劃。有些旅游手冊與當?shù)氐穆蒙岷筒蛷d還有很好的合作，只要在柜臺前晃一下那本旅游手冊，你就能得到優(yōu)惠。我在奧地利薩爾斯堡的時候，住旅舍每天省了4歐元，在餐廳吃飯能打9折，這都是因為我有一本《去歐洲》。好的旅游手冊會列出旅行中所涉及的幾乎所有的價格，從而幫你做出預算。很多手冊還贊助對旅游者很有幫助的網(wǎng)站，旅游者可以在網(wǎng)上報告當前的價格，并且發(fā)表自己對旅舍與餐廳的評論。因此，務必要做的一件事就是在出發(fā)之前帶上一本高質(zhì)量的最新出版的旅游手冊，這對你會大有幫助。

7關于英雄

這個詞的英雄會混淆,因為它,有好幾個意義。它常用于普通百姓發(fā)生在執(zhí)行一項行動的極大的勇氣——一個消防員撲救的人一天的主要角色,小說或電影被稱為英雄的故事,即使他并不特別勇敢。但英雄輩出,我們也會考慮現(xiàn)在構成第三集團。他們是巨人,其優(yōu)越性數(shù)據(jù)填補了我們的心的贊嘆和敬畏,男人和女人給我們一個高的例子去追隨,有個生活目標,或者有時僅僅是一個夢,因為他們代表了人,我們愿意。

人類總是有這樣的英雄。有些已經(jīng)建造的救助者或他們的國家,像喬治華盛頓,誰給一代又一代的美國人他們的模型的決心,無私和榮譽。有些宗教領袖或漂亮女人;征服者自居,運動員,或先驅;小說人物或革命者,圣徒,罪人,可愛的強盜,或電影明星。不管他們,他們都榮耀,顯示方式下對他們的追隨者。渴望值得他們能將最好的一面呈現(xiàn)他們的崇拜者。近年發(fā)表的許多文章,聲稱沒有更多的英雄在西方世界。作者說,特別是在歐洲和北美,現(xiàn)代的年輕人拒絕崇拜任何人,我們生活在一個世界太靈通,太好奇展示給我們的過失公眾人物誰能成為今天的明星,直到我們失去信心,開始尋找缺陷的人似乎值得尊敬的。在一個鄰居或一個政治家,我們試著發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的弱點,失敗,或丑陋的動機,無疑是隱藏他的高尚的行為。

這是真的,我們知道得太多了?我們的祖先是幸運的是只是部分通知嗎? 那些讀第一查理曼的傳記,喬治華盛頓,圣女貞德、或其他偉大的男性和女性的過去并沒有被告知他們心目中的英雄也有異味或不喜歡他的母親,他們只找到一個描述他的偉大成就和仰慕得到加強。事實上,早期的傳記作者毫不猶豫地組成了一個極佳的兩個故事關于他們的英雄。人寫第一本傳記的華盛頓,例如,發(fā)明了一棵櫻桃樹下,他承認后,無真相,但他說那是在性格上,它將會給年輕人的神的例子來跟隨。他的讀者似乎不對象;書再版八十極大的成功,那些日子。

現(xiàn)代傳記作者不發(fā)明這樣的故事,他們尊重事實,正如他們確實應該。但我們支付的價格為其真實性,因為他們在努力顯示“完整的人”,他們告訴我們,比我們真的需要知道關于私人生活、家庭秘密,人類的弱點。真正的偉大的一個好的人,常常被人們忘記在顯示;人們失去的不只是仰慕他,但他們愿意相信任何其他“明星”完全。

在備注中可以清楚地看到了一群高中生,在家開轟趴洛杉磯附近,那些被要求他們所欣賞。“沒有,”一個年輕人說:“因為我們早期的對象被毀。我們想要相信了我們所有的缺點和缺陷,使得很難信任的歷史的英雄。”“另一個學生,一個女孩,補充說,“我們試圖模仿是未知的成年人, 在我們的生活中。而不是夢想就像一些著名的女某個地方,我要像我媽媽最好的朋友,就是沒有人在這個房間里就會知道。但是我也知道并且欣賞她,那是對我來說夠了。”

一種英雄的品質(zhì)要求隨著時代,和一些偉大人物的一個特定的時期會驚喜的新一代。考慮爆炸的愛和悲傷的死亡后,約翰·列儂于1980年12月。很少引起死亡的悲痛,這樣的悲哀,在很多國家在整個世界的歷史。毫無疑問,列儂為他的哀悼者是一個英雄。為什么? 他做那件事是如此顯著? “約翰不僅僅是一個音樂家,”有人說他的崇拜者。“他知道如何表達我這一代的感情在1960年代晚期。他是我們的聲音和我們的指引;他改變了我們在過去的幾年里,總是有點在我們的前方,他為我們打開新的視野和鼓勵我們的風險遠,敢。我們談到了愛與和平;他是一個大哥哥。我們需要在一個麻煩的時間。“有些列儂的仰慕者可能已經(jīng)知道他并不是完美的,但他們卻忽視他的黑暗的一面保持感激做出積極的貢獻比他在他們的生活。肯定有很多人不認為約翰·列儂一個英雄,事實上有一個極低的對他的看法。但這是不尋常的,一個人的英雄是另一個人的惡棍。認為所有的領導人,革命者,征服者非常尊重的一個國家,一個宗教團體,或一代,藐視或受人恨。

電視和電影提供許多淺英雄,他們年輕的觀眾。很多家長都不看到孩子的欽佩超人。《蜘蛛俠》,或者有些奢侈搖滾歌手沒有想法或人才。但這樣的英雄不會持續(xù)很長,幾年后日益增長的青少年嘲笑這些對象他們年幼的贊賞。他們開始尋找更好地指導。無論他們怎么說。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們。學生誰是有足夠的智慧去認識素質(zhì)在她媽媽的朋友有一個完美的主人公自己的,一個是更容易模仿比喬治華盛頓或克拉拉?巴頓。

很難成為一個英雄在西方世界的這些日子里,在探索的目光中,對這一至關重要的社會。但肯定的是最不完全消失;還有人比他們的同胞的智慧,他們的勇氣,或他們的個性。他們可以成為英雄,如果人們愿意忽視它們的人類缺陷、承認的尊重他們的優(yōu)良品質(zhì)激勵。到處都需要英雄,在任何時候。這是一個悲哀的天空沒有閃爍的明星。
