Part 2: Text A: The Opera Singer

Ⅰ. Background Information

1. Pedro Pablo Sacristan

Pedro Pablo Sacristan (1973–), was born in Madrid. He was the second of six children and studied at the private school where his father worked as an athletic trainer. Despite being part of a very modest family, he had a good education in an atmosphere of deep Christian roots. Bedtime Stories is a project that combines his great love for writing stories, a disguised vocation for education and deep knowledge in the fields of technology.

2. History of opera

Opera, whose name comes from the Italian word work, is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting.

Ⅲ. Sentences:

1. What made him most unusual, though, was the fact that whenever he needed to communicate he did it by singing opera. (Para. 1)

然而，他最与众不同的地方是每当他需要与人交流时都是通过唱歌剧的方式。

这个句子包含一个由what 引导的从句做句子的主语和一个由that 引导的复合句做fact 的同位语。

2. whenever he needed to communicate 是that 引导的复合句中的时间状语从句。

It wouldn’t be unfair to say that almost everyone considered William Warbler a massive pain in the neck. (Para. 2)

几乎每个人都认为威廉?瓦伯乐很讨厌，这么说并不偏颇。

句中It wouldn’t be unfair 双重否定表示肯定，强调大家讨厌威廉这件事很合理。下面是双重否定的另一个例子：

It is not impossible to pass the test next time if you work harder.

如果你更加努力学习，下一次通过考试不是没可能。

a massive pain in the neck 是“很讨厌的人”，在句中做宾语William Warbler 的补语。

They made fun of his singing, calling him “Don No One”, “Poor-Rotti”, and “Lazy Miserables”. (Para. 3)

3. 他们拿他唱歌剧的事取笑他，称他为“唐无名”、“可怜的罗蒂”、“懒惰的悲惨先生”。

本句中的Don No One、Poor-Rotti 和Lazy Miserables 这三个表达法是作者利用发音相似玩的文字游戏。Don No One 源于莫扎特的一部著名歌剧Don Giovanni；Poor-Rotti 源于意大利著名歌剧演唱家、男高音歌唱家Pavarotti 的名字；Lazy Miserables 源于法国大作家维克多?雨果的长篇小说Les Misérables（《悲惨世界》）。

4. At the end of its run—to everyone in Cheekyville’s surprise—when William was being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking rather than singing. (Para. 3) 歌剧连演结束时，威廉?瓦伯乐接受了记者采访。他用讲话的方式回答记者的提问，并没有唱歌剧，这让奇克威利镇上的每个人都感到惊奇。

Little did people realise that he only got the role in the opera because the director had heard William singing while out buying a newspaper. (Para. 6)

5.人们几乎不清楚，威廉得到歌剧中的这个角色只是因为歌剧导演出去买报纸的时候正好听到他在唱歌剧。

这个句子是一个倒装句，不倒装的语序是People realised little that he only…。含否定意思的副词little 提到句首，句子要倒装。例如：

Never shall I forget it. 这件事我终身难忘。

6. Little did people realise that he only got the role in the opera because the director had heard William singing while out buying a newspaper. (Para. 6)

while out buying a newspaper 省略了主语he 和系动词was。状语从句中的主语与主句主语相同且从句谓语为系动词时，可以省略从句中的主语和系动词。

例如：When (I was) walking along the street, I heard my name called.

当我走在街上的时候，听见有人喊我的名字。

Ⅳ. Exercises

Ⅴ. Pronunciation: comparison between /e/ and / ? /.

Tips:

/e/ 和/ ? / 是人们容易混淆的两个音。把握好舌位的高低以及开口度的大小是正确发这两个音的关键。/e/ 的音长比/ ? / 短，舌位比/ ? / 稍高，开口度比/ ? / 小。注意：发这两个音时嘴唇、下颌的肌肉和整个口腔应保持放松状态。

Ⅵ. Grammar: Parts of Speech

请看下面句子，学习名词的用法：

a. He was stricken with polio as a child, and so he walks with the aid of two crutches. (Text B)

b. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. (Text B)

c. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium. (Text

B)

以上例句都用到了名词，例句a 涉及了名词的可数与不可数，例句b 涉及了集合名词，例句c 涉及了名词的所有格。

Part 3: Text Analysis

Ⅰ. 1. Writing style

This text is a narrative story about William Warbler. The language is simple and straightforward. To make the story more interesting, the author uses idiomatic phrases, even slang terms, and plays with words. For example, “Don No One”, “Poor-Rotti”, and “Lazy Miserables” are used to indicate the resid ents’ disdain for William Warbler. What is more, the author also uses the dash frequently. Here are some examples:

He was called William Warbler—the man, not the suitcase—and he looked very common indeed. (A humorous aside)

And, as no one knew how he made his living—and he lived quite simply, always wearing his same old second-hand suit—they often treated him with disdain. (Introducing more information) At the end of its run—to everyone in Cheekyville’s surprise—when William was being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking rather than singing. (Introducing more information)

Ⅱ. 2. Text summary

With an ordinary appearance, William Warbler always carried a suitcase with him wherever he went. D ifferent from others, he responded to others’ questions by singing all the time. Many residents in the small town regarded him as mad. He just ignored their gossip and continued to act in this way. In fact, he just wanted to practice every second and waited for the chance to come. One day, while out buying a newspaper, a director heard him singing and then offered him a role in an opera in the national capital. From that day, William gave up singing when communicating with others and spoke normally with a clear and pleasant voice.

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理，解释道，首先，我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心，而且在探索，这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好，画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说，他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境，在这些情境中，一个人必须学会独立思考，学会独立解决问题，进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来，当时我就清楚地意识到，这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时，他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反，他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到，这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为：他们是在恪守中国传统，把着手教，教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢？它们会得到加强还是削弱？作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿，在芝加哥长大，就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁，过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是在伦敦，1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要，”他说，“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒，但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利，现在经营着一家法国技术公司，该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而，尽管曼德尔全球到处跑，已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间，但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人，”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
