Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson 原文 Chapter 5: Ben Gunn The next morning we arrived at the island. I remembered Billy Bones's map. 'I know there's a house on the island,' I thought. 'But I can't see it from here.' The sailors wanted to leave the ship, but Captain Smollett said, 'Tell the men they can go to the island this afternoon.' 'What are we going to do?' asked Mr. Trelawney. We must think quickly.' Three of the men on the ship, Hunter, Joyce and Redruth, were Mr. Trelawney's men. He told them about Long John Silver and the pirates and he gave them some guns. Then he spoke to the other men, the pirates. 'Men,' he said,'it's a hot day and we're all tired. Take a boat and go to the island. You can come back this evening.' The pirates were happier. Six of them stayed on the Hispaniola and thirteen got into the small boats to go to the island. I quietly got into one of the boats, too. We arrived on the beach and I ran away from the pirates. Long John Silver saw me. 'Jim! Jim!' he said.'Come here!' But I did not listen to him. I ran into the trees. I walked about for a time, then I heard the pirates talking angrily. There was some fighting, and one man died. 'He didn't want to help them, so they killed him,' I thought, 'They're bad men.' I ran and ran. 'How can I get back to the ship?' I thought. 'The pirates are going to kill me, too.' I climbed the hill. Suddenly I saw a man. 'Who's this?' I thought. 'He isn't one of our men. Nobody lives on this island.' I began to run back to the beach, but I was tired and the man ran very quickly. I stopped and took out my gun. The man carefully came out of the trees. 'Who are you?' I asked. I'm Ben Gunn,' he said. 'I live here. The pirates left me on this island three years ago. What's your name?' 'Jim,' I told him. 'Well, Jim,' he said, 'I'm a very rich man. But tell me, who came in that ship? Is it Flint's ship?' 'No, it isn't. Flint is dead,' I said. 'But some of his men are on the ship.' 'Not... not a man with one leg?' 'Silver?' I asked. 'Yes, Silver,' he said. 'Are you a friend of his?' 'No, I'm not,' I answered. And I told him everything. 'Is Mr. Trelawney a good man?' Ben asked. 'Perhaps I can help him.' 'Yes, he's very good. And I think he can help you, too.' 'Good,' said Ben Gunn. 'But can you help me now?' I asked.' I must get back to the ship.' 'I've got a little boat,' he said. 'You can use it tonight.' Suddenly we heard the sound of guns. 'Listen! they're fighting!' I said. We ran to the beach. We heard more guns,then everything was quiet and a flag went up above the trees.

Level 5-Day 35.Prince Charles 'Ugly Buildings'(2)

词汇提示 1.concrete 混凝土 2.stumps 树桩 3.municipal 市政的 4.siren 汽笛 5.demolished 拆除 6.layout 布局 7.monstrous 巨大的 8.carbuncle 痈肿 9.Renaissance 文艺复兴 10.curves 曲线 11.vertical 垂直的 原文 Prince Charles: 'Ugly Buildings'(2) It would be a tragedy if the character and skyline of our capital city were to be further ruined and St Paul's dwarfed by yet another giant glass stump, better suited to downtown Chicago than the City of London. It is hard to imagine that London before the last war must have had one of the most beautiful skylines of any great city, if those who recall it are to be believed. Those who do, say that the affinity between buildings and the earth, in spite of the city's immense size, was so close and organic that the houses looked almost as though they had grown out of the earth and had not been imposed upon it - grown, moreover, in such a way that as few trees as possible were thrust out of the way. Those who knew it then and loved it, as so many British love Venice without concrete stumps and glass towers, and those who can imagine what it was like, must associate with the sentiments in one of Aldous Huxley's earliest and most successful novels. Antic Hay, where the main character, an unsuccessful architect, reveals a model of London as Christopher Wren wanted to rebuild it after the Great Fire and describes how Wren was so obsessed with the opportunity the fire gave the city to rebuild itself into a greater and more glorious vision. What have we done to it since the bombing during the war? What are we shortly going to do to one of its most famous areas - Trafalgar Square? Instead of designing an extension to the elegant facade of the National Gallery which complements it and continues the concept of columns and domes, it looks as if we may be presented with a kind of vast municipal fire station, complete with the sort of tower that contains the siren. I would understand better this type of High Tech approach if you demolished the whole of Trafalgar Square and started again with a single architect responsible for the entire layout, but what is proposed is like a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much loved and elegant friend. Apart from anything else, it defeats me why anyone wishing to display the early Renaissance pictures belonging to the gallery should do so in a new gallery so manifestly at odds with the whole spirit of that age of astonishing proportion. Why can't we have those curves and arches that express feeling in design? What is wrong with them? Why has everything got to be vertical, straight, unbending, only at right angles -and functional? 翻译 查尔斯王子:“丑陋的建筑”(二) 如果我们首都的特色和天际线进一步被毁,圣保罗大教堂被另一个更适合芝加哥市中心而不是伦敦金融城的巨型玻璃桩所衬托,那将是一场悲剧。 如果那些回忆起来的人是可信的,那么很难想象,在上一次大战之前,伦敦一定拥有所有大城市中最美丽的天际线之一。 持这种观点的人说,尽管城市规模巨大,但建筑物与土地之间的联系是如此紧密和有机,以至于这些房屋看起来几乎像是从土地中生长出来的,而不是强加给它的——而且,生长的方式尽可能少地阻碍了树木。 那些当时了解并热爱它的人,就像许多英国人热爱没有混凝土树桩和玻璃塔的威尼斯一样,那些能想象出它是什么样子的人,一定会联想到奥尔德斯·赫胥黎(Aldous Huxley)最早也是最成功的小说之一中的情感。 在《安蒂克海》中,主人公是一位不成功的建筑师,他展示了一个伦敦的模型,因为克里斯托弗·雷恩想在大火后重建伦敦,并描述了雷恩是如何痴迷于大火给这座城市带来的重建机会,使其成为一个更伟大、更辉煌的城市。 自从战争期间的轰炸以来,我们对它做了什么? 我们马上要去它最著名的地区之一——特拉法加广场做些什么呢? 而不是设计一个扩展到国家美术馆的优雅的外观,补充它,并继续柱和圆顶的概念,它看起来好像我们可能会看到一种巨大的市政消防站,完成了那种包含警笛的塔。 如果你拆除整个特拉法加广场,让一个建筑师负责整个布局,我会更好地理解这种高科技的方法,但提议的东西就像一个可爱而优雅的朋友脸上的巨大红宝石。 除此之外,让我感到困惑的是,为什么有人想要展示属于画廊的早期文艺复兴时期的画作,却要在一个与那个时代的整体精神如此明显地格格不入的新画廊里展出。 为什么我们不能在设计中使用那些表达情感的曲线和拱门呢? 他们怎么了? 为什么所有的东西都必须是垂直的,直的,不弯曲的,只有在直角上——而且是功能性的?

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson 原文 Chapter 4: Pirates on The Ship Mr. Trelawney liked to give the sailors things to make them happy. There was always a big barrel of fruit for them. One night, after I finished my work on the ship, I went to get some fruit from the barrel. Everything was very quiet. I climbed inside the barrel to get the fruit. Suddenly a heavy man sat down next to the barrel. He began to speak. It was Long John Silver. I stayed very quiet. 'Yes,' he said.' Flint was our captain. I sailed with him many times. We had one big fight. I lost my leg and Old Pew lost his eyes. I saw a lot of fighting and a lot of treasure,too.' 'Ah,' said a younger man. 'Flint was a bad man! And where are all Flint's men now?' 'Most of them are here,' said Silver quietly, 'on this ship. Old Pew's dead. And you, young man,do you want to help us? Do you want to be a pirate?' 'Yes, I do.' 'Good,' said Silver.'You're going to be a good pirate.' Then a second man spoke to Long John Silver. It was Israel Hands. 'I don't like our captain, John,' he said. 'Let's kill Smollett and the others.' 'No. We must wait.We must have Captain Smollett to sail the ship,' said Silver. 'And Mr.Trelawney and the doctor have the map. Let them find the treasure first. Then we can kill them. Now get me some fruit from this barrel.' I was very afraid.But then someone said, 'Land!' Everybody ran to seethe island. I waited for a minute, then I climbed out of the barrel and ran, too. The ship was now quite near an island. 'Does anybody know this island?' Captain Smollett asked. 'I do,' said Silver.'There were a lot of pirates here in the old days. That hill in the center of the island is called the Spy Glass.' Then Captain Smollett showed Silver a map of the island. Silver looked at the map very carefully, but it was not Billy Bones's map. It did not show the treasure. I went to Dr Livesey. 'Can I speak to you please, doctor?' I said. 'What is it, Jim?' he asked. Then I told the doctor, Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett about Long John Silver. 'Most of the sailors are pirates,' I said. 'They want to kill us and take the treasure.' 'Thank you, Jim,' said Mr. Trelawney. 'And Captain Smollett, you were right. I was wrong. I'm sorry.' 'Silver is a very clever man,' said the doctor. 'We all liked him.' 'What are we going to do, captain?' asked Mr. Trelawney.

Level 5-Day 34.Prince Charles 'Ugly Buildings'(1)

词汇提示 1.facades 立面 2.wholesale 大批的 3.undertake 承担 4.tenants 租户 5.monopoly 垄断 6.arches 拱门 7.porches 门厅 原文 Prince Charles: 'Ugly Buildings'(1) At last, people are beginning to see that it is possible, and important in human terms, to respect old buildings, street plans and traditional scales and at the same time not to feel guilty about a preference for facades, ornaments and soft materials. At last, after witnessing the wholesale destruction of Georgian and Victorian housing in most of our cities, people have begun to realize that it is possible to restore old buildings and, what is more, that there are architects willing to undertake such projects. For far too long, it seems to me, some planners and architects have consistently ignored the feelings and wishes of the mass of ordinary people in this country. Perhaps,when you think about if, it is hardly surprising as architects tend to have been trained to design buildings from scratch - to tear down and rebuild... A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants. To be concerned about the way people live, about the environment they inhabit and the kind of community that is created by that environment should surely be one of the prime requirements of a really good architect. It has been most encouraging to see the development of community architecture as a natural reaction to the policy of decanting people to new towns and over spill estates where the extended family patterns of support were destroyed and the community life was lost. Now,moreover, we are seeing the gradual expansion of housing cooperatives, particularly in the inner-city areas of Liverpool, where the tenants are able to work with an architect of their own who listens to their comments and their ideas and tries to design the kind of environment they want, rather than the kind which tends to be imposed upon them without any degree of choice... What I believe is important about community architecture is that it has shown ordinary people that their views are worth having; that architects and planners do not necessarily have the monopoly of knowing best about taste, style and planning; that they need not be made to feel guilty or ignorant if their natural preference is for the more traditional designs - for a small garden, for courtyards, arches and porches - and that there is a growing number of architects prepared to listen and to offer imaginative ideas... 翻译 查尔斯王子:“丑陋的建筑”(一) 最后,人们开始认识到,尊重老建筑、街道规划和传统尺度,同时不为对立面、装饰和软材料的偏好感到内疚,这是可能的,也是重要的。 最后,在目睹了我们大多数城市中乔治时代和维多利亚时代的房屋被大规模摧毁之后,人们开始意识到修复旧建筑是可能的,而且,有建筑师愿意承担这样的项目。 在我看来,长期以来,一些规划师和建筑师一直忽视这个国家普通民众的感受和愿望。 也许,当你想到这一点时,这并不奇怪,因为建筑师往往被训练为从零开始设计建筑物-拆除和重建…… 我们中的很多人都有这样一种感觉:建筑师设计房子的目的往往是为了获得同行建筑师和评论家的认可,而不是为了租户。 关心人们的生活方式,他们居住的环境,以及这种环境所创造的社区,当然应该是一个真正优秀的建筑师的主要要求之一。 最令人鼓舞的是,社区建筑的发展是对将人们转移到新城镇和溢出的庄园政策的自然反应,在这些政策中,大家庭的支持模式被破坏,社区生活被失去。 此外,现在我们看到住房合作社的逐渐扩大,特别是在利物浦的市中心地区,在那里,租户能够与自己的建筑师合作,听取他们的意见和想法,并努力设计他们想要的那种环境,而不是那种没有任何选择的强加在他们身上的环境…… 我认为社区建筑的重要之处在于,它向普通人展示了他们的观点是值得拥有的;建筑师和规划师并不一定垄断对品味、风格和规划的了解;如果他们天生偏爱更传统的设计——小花园、庭院、拱门和门廊——他们不必感到内疚或无知,而且有越来越多的建筑师准备倾听并提供富有想象力的想法……

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson 原文 Chapter 3: The Sailor with One Leg The next day Mr.Trelawney left for Bristol. “I stayed at home and waited. At last, weeks later, Dr Livesey got a letter from Bristol. Dear Livesey, the ship is ready. Its name is Hispaniola. I found a good man to be our cook on the ship. He's an old sailor and he has an inn here in Bristol. He is going to help me find sailors for our ship. He knows a lot of men here. His name is Long John Silver. He has only one leg. Please send Jim Hawkins to Bristol tomorrow. Trelawney.” I was very excited. The next morning I said goodbye to my mother and started for Bristol. Mr. Trelawney met met here. 'When do we sail?' I asked him. 'Sail?' he said. 'We sail tomorrow!' I had something to eat, then Mr. Trelawney gave me a letter for Long John Silver at the Spy Glass Inn. There were a lot of sailors in the Spy Glass Inn. I looked round and saw a tall strong man with one leg. 'He's Long John Silver,' I thought. 'Mr. Silver, sir?'I asked. 'Yes, that's my name. And who are you?' I gave him the letter and he took my hand. Suddenly, one of the other men in the inn jumped up and ran to the door. I knew him. It was Black Dog! 'Stop him!' I said. 'Stop him! It's Black Dog!' 'Harry,' said Silver, 'run and catch that man.' A man got up and ran after Black Dog. Long John Silver turned to me. "Who was that man?'he asked. 'Black what?' 'Dog, sir,' I said.'He's a pirate.' 'A pirate!' said Silver. 'Ben, run and help Harry. You can catch him!' But Ben and Harry came back without Black Dog. 'We lost him,' they said. 'Well, what is Mr.Trelawney going to think?' said Silver. 'You know, Jim, we did try to catch him. And nobody in the inn knew that he was the pirate Black Dog. Now, Jim,come with me. We're going to see Mr. Trelawney.' Long John Silver walked with me to meet Mr. Trelawney and Dr Livesey. He told them about Black Dog. Mr. Trelawney listened carefully, and then said, 'Well, we can't do anything about Black Dog now.John, tell all the men to come to the ship this afternoon.' The doctor turned tome. 'Come and see the ship, Jim,' he said. And meet our captain, Captain Smollett.' So we went to the Hispaniola. 'Well, Captain Smollett,' said Mr. Trelawney, 'I hope everything is ready.' 'Well, sir,' said the captain, 'it is, but l'm not happy about it. I don't like the sailors.' 'Oh?' said Mr.Trelawney. He was very angry with the captain. But Dr Livesey said,'Tell me, Captain Smollett. Why are you unhappy? 'Well,' said the captain, I don't know where we are going. But all the sailors say we are going to look for treasure. I don't like it. I don't know these men.' 'Well, what do you want?' asked the doctor. 'We must have all the guns in our rooms, sir. And Mr. Trelawney's men must sleep near us, not with the other sailors.' 'And?' said Mr. Trelawney. 'You have a map. Thesailors know about it. Nobody must see that map.' 'Right, sir,' said Mr.Trelawney. 'We can do that. But I think they're very good men.' 'Trelawney,' said the doctor later, 'you have two good men, Captain Smollett and Long John Silver.' 'I don't know about the captain,' said Mr. Trelawney angrily. Then Captain Smollett found me. 'And you, boy, go and help the cook!' We worked all night and in the morning, the ship left Bristol. The Hispaniola was a good ship and we had good weather. The sailors all liked Long John Silver. 'In the old days,before he lost his leg, he was a good fighter,' some of them said.' He was always very good to me. '
