M: Oh, I'm sorry, doctor. I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier. Text2 M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes? M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best. Text3 W: I'll see you at the theater. M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk. W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there. Text4 M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail. M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us. Text5 M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me? W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested. Text6 W: Did you know James went out of business? M: Really? When was that? W: Last month. M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened? W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten. M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be. W: I hope so. Text7 W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school! M: Why? W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job. M: So, she wants to study art now? W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time. M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her. W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do. M: Well, maybe, if it's what she wants. Text8 M: Dear listeners, for today's show, I have with my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years.Mary, welcome to our show. W: It's a pleasure to be here. M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become are porter? W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choices of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it. M: How did they do that? W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting. M: What about your mother? W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way. Text9 M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa. W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise. M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much. W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks. M: Hmm...interesting. W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%. M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help? W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help. Text10 W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示 1.priory 修道院 2.secretary 秘书 3.ivy 常春藤 4.chump 笨蛋 原文 Chapter 2: Dr Huxtable's Story "My school, The Priory School near Mackleton is the best school for young boys in England," began Dr Huxtable, "we have the sons of Lord Solmes, Lord Lever, and of many other important people. Three weeks ago, Mr. James Wilder, the Duke of Holderness's secretary, came to see me. The duke, he said, wanted to send his son, the 10-year-old Lord Saltire, to my school. On 1 May,young Lord Saltire arrived. He's a nice boy, and he soon began to like school life and to make friends. His life at home, you see, was not very happy. We all know about the duke and his wife, the Duchess, of course, now lives in the south of France. She left the duke about three months ago, I think. But the boy loved his mother and was very unhappy when she left. Because of this, the duke sent him to my school. And after two weeks with us, he was much happier. Then on the night of 13 May, he disappeared. The way to his bedroom is through another, larger room. Two older boys sleep there. One of them never sleeps very well, and he heard and saw nothing that night. So young Arthur did not go out through that room. His window was open and there is ivy all up the wall of the house. It is easy to get out of the window and down the ivy to the ground. So we think that he went out that way. He was in his usual school things; we think a short black coat and dark blue trousers. We looked all through his room very carefully, but we found nothing strange, nothing unusual. When I learnt the news at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, I called everybody into the big schoolroom, then we learnt more bad news. Heidegger, the German teacher, was missing too. His room is not far from Arthur's room. Heidegger went down the ivy. We know this because we found his footprints on the ground under the window. We know too,that he was only in his coat, trousers and shoes, because we found his shirt and his socks on the floor of his room, and he took his bicycle with him. Heidegger came to the school a year ago. He's a good teacher, but the boys don't like him because he isn't very friendly. So Mr. Holmes,we have two missing people, it's now Thursday and there's still no news of them." Holmes took out a little notebook and began to write things down. "The boy didn't go home, of course?" He said. "No, no,we asked at Holderness Hall at once," said Dr Huxtable, "the duke is very afraid for his son,and I am the unhappiest man in England. Mr. Holmes, you are a famous detective,please help me." "You make things very difficult for me," Holmes said, "how can I find marks in the ivy or on the ground after three days? Why didn't you come to me at once?" "Because of the duke," Dr Huxtable said, "he doesn't like people talking about his unhappy family life." "And what are the police doing?" "Well,they heard about a boy and a young man at the station early on Tuesday, they looked for them and last night they found them in Liverpool. But it was a man and his son going to visit a friend. We lost three days because of that. Andlast night, I couldn't sleep, so I took the first train down to London this morning." "Well, Dr Huxtable, some more questions," said Holmes, " did the boy take German lessons?" "No, so he didn't know the German teacher well, then he probably never spoke to him,"said Dr Huxtable. "Emmm", said Holmes, "does the boy have a bicycle?" "No." "Was any other bicycle missing?" "No." "So did the German teacher ride away on his bicycle in the night with the boy on his back?" "I don't think so." "But what happened to the bicycle? Now, what about visitors? Did the boy have any visitors the day before?" "No." "Did he get any letters?" "Yes, one letter from his father." "Do you open the boy's letters? Dr Huxtable." "No." "Then how do you know that the letter was from the father?" "I know the duke's handwriting and he says that he wrote a letter to his son." "Did the boy get any letters from France?" "No, I never saw any." "Do you understand me? Dr Huxtable," Holmes said, "did someone take the boy away, or did the boy go freely because he had a letter from France?" "Perhaps?I don't know," said Dr Huxtable, "he only had letters from his father,I think." "Were father and son very friendly?" "The duke is not chump, not a very friendly man, Mr. Holmes. He's not a bad father, but he is a government minister and has a lot of things to do." "So the boy felt more friendly to his mother?" "Yes." "Did he say that?" "No." "Did the duke tell you that?" "Oh no,the duke never talks about things like that." "So how do you know?" "Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary told me." "I see,"said Holmes, "that last letter of the duke. Where is it now?" "The boy took it with him," Dr Huxtable said, "it's not in his room. Mr.Holmes." "Our train leaves in half an hour, right?" said Holmes. He looked at me, "Watson, let's get ready and go off to the north with Dr Huxtable,perhaps we can find some answers to this mystery." 翻译 第二章:赫克斯特博士的故事 “我的学校——位于马克勒顿附近的修道院公学,是英格兰最适合男孩就读的学校,”赫克斯特博士开始说道, “我们的学生中有索尔姆斯勋爵、莱弗勋爵的子女,以及许多其他重要人物的子弟。 三周前,霍尔德诺斯公爵的秘书詹姆斯·怀尔德先生来看过我。 他说,公爵想把他的儿子——十岁的萨蒂里勋爵送到我的学校来。 5 月 1 日,年轻的萨蒂里勋爵到了这里。 他是一个很可爱的孩子,很快他就开始喜欢上学生活,并交到了朋友。 你瞧,他在家里的生活并不愉快。 当然,我们都了解那位公爵和他的夫人——公爵夫人如今住在法国南部。 我想,她大约三个月前离开了公爵。 但这个孩子爱他的母亲,母亲离开时他非常难过。 因为这个原因,公爵把他送到了我的学校。 在我们这里待了两周后,他变得开心多了。 然后在 5 月 13 日的晚上,他失踪了。 他去卧室的路要经过另一个较大的房间。 那里住着两个年长的男孩。 其中一人晚上睡得不太好,那天晚上他什么也没听到也没看到。 所以年轻的阿瑟没有从那个房间出去。 他的窗户是开着的,房子的墙上爬满了常春藤。从窗户爬出去,沿着藤蔓滑到地面是很容易的。 所以我们认为他是从那个方向出去的。 他当时穿着平常上学时穿的衣服;我们猜测是一件短款的黑色外套和深蓝色的长裤。 我们仔细地在他的房间里搜查了一遍,但没有发现任何奇怪或不寻常的东西。 周二早上七点我得知这个消息时,把大家召集到了大教室里,然后我们又听到了更多的坏消息。 德国教师海德格尔也失踪了。 他的房间离阿瑟的房间不远。 海德格尔是沿着藤蔓下去的。 因为我们发现窗下的地上有他的脚印,所以我们知道这一点。 我们也知道他只穿着外套、长裤和鞋子,因为我们在他的房间里找到了他的衬衫和袜子,而且他还带着自行车。 海德格尔一年前来到这所学校。 他是一位好老师,但学生们不喜欢他,因为他不太友好。 所以,福尔摩斯先生,我们有两个人失踪了,现在已经是星期四了,还没有他们的消息。” 福尔摩斯拿出一个小笔记本,开始写东西。 “这个男孩没有回家,对吧?”他说。 “不,不,我们立刻就去了霍尔德内斯庄园,”赫克斯特博士说道,“公爵非常担心他的儿子,而我是全英国最不开心的人。福尔摩斯先生,您是一位著名的侦探,请帮帮我吧。” “你让我很为难。”福尔摩斯说,“过了三天,我怎么能在常春藤上或地上找到痕迹呢?您为什么不早点来找我呢?” “因为公爵的缘故,”赫克斯特博士说道,“他不喜欢人们谈论他不幸的家庭生活。” “那警察在做什么呢?” “嗯,周二一大早他们就在局里听说了一个男孩和一个年轻人,就去找了他们,昨晚他们在利物浦找到了他们。但那是个男人和他的儿子,他们去拜访一位朋友。我们因为这个耽搁了三天。昨晚我睡不着,所以今天早上我坐第一班火车去了伦敦。” “赫克斯特博士,还有些问题要问您,”福尔摩斯说道,“那个男孩上过德语课吗?” “没有,所以他和德语老师不太熟,然后他可能从没和他说过话,”赫克斯特博士说道。 “嗯...”福尔摩斯说到,“那男孩有自行车吗?” “不。” “还有其他自行车丢失了吗?” “不。” “那位德国老师是不是在夜间骑着自行车带着那个男孩离开了呢?” “我不这么认为。” “但是那辆自行车后来怎么样了呢?再来说说访客们的情况吧。那天早上,那个男孩有没有接待过什么访客呢?” “不。” “他收到过信件吗?” “是的,有一封是他父亲寄来的信。” “您会打开这个男孩的信件吗?赫克斯特博士。” “不。” “那你怎么知道这封信是父亲写的呢?” “我知道公爵的笔迹,而且他说他给儿子写过一封信。” “这个孩子从法国收到过信吗?” “没有,我从未见过。” “你明白我的意思吗,赫克斯特博士?”福尔摩斯说道,“是有人把这个孩子带走的,还是因为有来自法国的信,这个孩子能自由离开呢?” “也许吧。我不知道,”赫克斯特博士说道,“我觉得他只有父亲的信。” “父子俩关系很亲密吗?” “公爵可不是个傻瓜,也不是个很友善的人,福尔摩斯先生。他不是个坏父亲,但他是个政府官员,有很多事情要处理。” “所以这个孩子对他的母亲更亲近些?” “是的。” “他说过这话吗?” “不。” “公爵跟你说过这事吗?” “没有啊,公爵从不谈论这类事情。” “那你又是怎么知道的?” “是詹姆斯·怀尔德先生告诉我的,他是公爵的秘书。” “我明白了,”福尔摩斯说道,“公爵的最后一封信。现在它在哪里?” “那个孩子把它带走了,”赫克斯特博士说,“不在他的房间里。福尔摩斯先生。” “我们的火车半小时后就要开了,对吧?”福尔摩斯说道。 他看着我,“华生,咱们准备好跟赫克斯塔普医生一起向北出发吧,也许我们能找到答案。”

Thepronunciation is fine with me and its vocabulary is similar to English. But I’mfinding the grammar awful. W: Well, it takes a while to getit right. (Text2) W: I hope you can come to theparty on Saturday. M: I didn’t know I was invited. W: Sure you are! Everyone in ouroffice is invited. (Text3) W: May I help you? M: Yes, when is the next train toLondon? W: Oh, let me check. It leaves intwenty minutes. M: One ticket, please. (Text4) W: Charlie, do you know arestaurant called Bravo? M: Bravo… I know the name. ButI’m not sure where it is. W: It’s on George Street. Thefood there is excellent. (Text5) W: Brian, I just had aninterview. They said they would make a decision soon. M: What are your chances ofgetting the job? W: Quite good. I think theinterview went very well. (Text6) M: Let’s go kite-flying, Judy.It’s such a lovely day. W: OK. But let me finish mychemistry homework first. Would you mind waiting for half an hour, Max? Thereare a few sports magazines on the table. M: Isn’t the chemistry homeworkdue next Wednesday? W: Yeah. But I have a full day ofclasses on Monday and a birthday party to attend on Tuesday. M: All right then, you go ahead.And I’ll catch up on some sports news while waiting. (Text7) W: We’ve been on the computer allthe time lately. Why don’t we do something different Sunday afternoon? M: Well, we could go to aconcert... W: But I don’t think we can getthe tickets this late. M: Then, what about playing acomputer game? There’s a really cool new one we could download. W: Hmm. I don’t know. I feel likeI need to do some exercise. We could probably just walk by the lake, and I’llask Mike to join us. M: That sounds like fun. Let’s doit! (Text8) W: Welcome to our program, Dr.Peterson. Let’s see what questions we’ve got for you today. Here’s one: Cancats see color? M: Sort of. In the wild, manycats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your catcan’t see bright colors, such as red and green, but it picks up more shades ofblue, yellow, and gray than humans do. W: And why do cats “give” deadbirds to their owners? M: When your cat drops a deadbird at your feet, she isn’t bringing you a present. Most cats just drag foodhome because it’s a safe place to eat. A cat’s mom also brings home things toher children to help them practice hunting. So a female cat without childrenmay bring these “treats” to her owner instead. You may not like them, but atleast, you don’t have to write her a thank-you note. (Text9) W: How is little Ed doing at thekindergarten, Jack? M: Oh, he’s doing fairly well.It’s been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are prettyused to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off onthe first day, though! W: I think that’s a normalreaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don’t you? Howdoes he get there? M: Macy walks there with himevery morning, unless the weather is bad. When it rains, they’ll drive. W: And is Ed enjoyingkindergarten? M: Yeah, he loves to have otherkids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together. W: What do the teachers at thekindergarten say about him? M: They said he is bright andthat he’s starting to learn how to tell time. Isn’t that fantastic? W: That is fantastic. It soundslike everything goes well. (Text10) W: My name is Emily. I had been adancer for quite a long time—I started studying ballet when I was six yearsold. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I waseighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wantedto do it professionally. So, I applied successfully for the training program atthe School of Toronto Dance Theater and moved to Toronto to attend the program.That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated onscholarship and danced professionally for ten years, but after all those years,I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of aburden than a joy; I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself todance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often, but it makes me happy tothink that I’ll never have to go to another training session again.

Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示 1.kidnapping 绑架 原文 Chapter 1: Sherlock Holmes has a Visitor When visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things. Sometimes,they put their heads in their hands and cried. Sometimes,they talked and talked and couldn't stop. And sometimes,they just sat there and didn't say a word. But nobody was more surprising than Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable. He was a large man, tall, well dressed, and important looking. He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it. He sat there with his eyes closed, looking white and ill. I ran to get some water for him, then I got my Dr's bag and looked at him carefully. "What is it, Watson?" said Holmes. "He's all right, I think, " I said, "He's just very, very tired and probably hungry, too. " Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton in the north of England. "Mackleton? That's a long way," said Holmes, "it'snot 12 o'clock yet, so he probably left home before 5 o'clock this morning." After a minute or two, the man began to move and his eyes opened. A second later,he got quickly to his feet. His face was now red and unhappy. "Mr.Holmes, I am so sorry I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning, that's why I felt ill." "When you feel better?" I began. "I'm better now. Thank you," said our visitor, "and I want very much to talk to Mr. Holmes to ask him something. Please, Mr.Holmes, come back to Mackleton to with me by the next train." "I'm sorry, that's not possible," said Holmes, "I'm working on two important cases, the Ferris case and the Abergavenny case. I cannot leave London at the moment." "Important cases? "our visitor cried, "but this case is very important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke of Holderness three days ago." "What? The government minister?" "Yes, that's so you didn't know, it's not in the newspapers yet, that's true." "But Sherlock Holmes always hears news before other people."I thought. Holmes went to get one of his books and began to read the page about the Duke of Holderness. "Holderness,6th Duke. Wife: Edith, daughter of Lord Grey. One child: Lord Arthur Saltire,houses in London, Lancashire and Wales. Government minister for this, for that, for the other. Well,well…" said Holmes, "he's one of the greatest men in the country." "One of the greatest and one of the richest," said Dr Huxtable, "I know, Mr.Holmes, that you don't work for money, but I must tell you this. The duke is offering 5000 pounds for news of his son and another 1000 pounds for the name of his kidnapper." "That,"said Holmes, "is a most interesting offer." He looked at me. "Watson,I think we are going with Dr Huxtable back to the north of England this afternoon." Holmes then looked at Dr Huxtable. "Now, sir, tell me everything, what happened, when did it happen, how did it happen, and why does Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable come to ask for my help three days later?" Our visitor drank some water and began his story. 翻译 第一章:夏洛克·福尔摩斯迎来访客 当访客们来到贝克街看望夏洛克·福尔摩斯时,他们常常会做出一些令人惊讶的举动。 有时,他们会双手抱头哭泣。 有时,他们会不停地交谈,无法停止。 还有时,他们只是静静地坐着,一言不发。 但没有人比索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士更令人惊讶了。 他是个身材高大、衣着讲究、看上去很有身份的男人。 他走进房间,走到一张大椅子前,突然就瘫坐在了椅子上。 他闭着眼睛坐在那里,脸色苍白,看起来病恹恹的。 我跑去给他拿来一些水,然后拿上我的医生包,仔细地打量着他。 “怎么了,华生?”福尔摩斯问道。 “我觉得他没事,”我说,“他只是非常非常疲惫,可能还饿了。” 福尔摩斯查看了那个人的口袋,发现里面有一张从英格兰北部麦克勒顿出发的火车票。 “麦克勒顿?那可远着呢,”福尔摩斯说,“现在才 12 点,所以他大概是在今天早上 5 点前就离开家的。” 过了一两分钟,那个人开始动起来,眼睛也睁开了。 片刻之后,他迅速站了起来。 他的脸现在红了,显得很不高兴。“福尔摩斯先生,非常抱歉,我今天早上竟然什么都没吃也没喝,所以才身体不适。” “那你感觉好些了吗?”我问道。 “现在好多了。谢谢你。”我们的访客说道,“我非常想和福尔摩斯先生谈谈,向他请教一些问题。拜托了,福尔摩斯先生,能和我一起乘坐下一班火车回到麦克勒顿吗?” “很抱歉,这不行。”福尔摩斯说道,“我目前正忙于处理两起重要的案件,费里斯案和阿伯加文尼案。此刻我无法离开伦敦。” “重要的案件?”访客惊呼道,“但这个案子也很重要。你知道三天前霍尔德伦斯公爵的儿子被绑架的事吧。” “什么?那位政府部长?” “是的,这样你就不知道这件事了,因为它还没有登报,这是真的。” “但夏洛克·福尔摩斯总是比其他人更早得知消息。”我想。 福尔摩斯去拿了一本书,然后开始阅读有关霍尔德内斯公爵的那一章节。 “霍尔德内斯,第六代公爵。妻子:伊迪丝,格雷勋爵的女儿。有一个孩子:亚瑟·萨特里勋爵,他在伦敦、兰开夏和威尔士都有房产。担任这个部门、那个部门、其他部门的政府部长。嗯,嗯……”福尔摩斯说道,“他是这个国家最杰出的人物之一。” “他是最杰出的,也是最富有的之一。”赫克斯特博士说道,“福尔摩斯先生,我知道您不为金钱工作,但我必须告诉您这件事。这位公爵出价 5000 英镑想要获取有关他儿子的消息,另外还出价 1000 英镑想要知道绑架他的凶手的名字。” “那,”福尔摩斯说道,“这是一个非常有趣的提议。” 他看向我。 “华生,我觉得今天下午我们会和赫克斯塔布尔医生一起回到英格兰北部。” 然后霍姆斯看向赫克斯塔布尔医生。 “现在,先生,请告诉我一切,发生了什么,什么时候发生的,是怎么发生的,还有为什么索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士三天后会来向我求助?” 我们的访客喝了些水,开始讲述他的故事。

But we can order one for you. If you give us your number, we’ll call you when the CD arrives. (Text3) W: We’d better be going now, or we’ll be late for the train. M: No rush. It’s 8:30 now. We still have two hours. (Text4) M: I am so tired of driving all those hours to work. W: Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to drive two hours to work each way. But now I live within walking distance of my office. I don’t even need a bike. (Text5) W: Hi, Andy! I didn’t see you in Prof. Smith’s class yesterday. What happened? M: Well... I had a headache, so I called him and asked for sick leave. (Text6) W: The biggest mistake I made,uh, was leaving college in my last year and not completing my education. So I’m thinking of going back to school. M: School? To study what? W: Ecology. I’m interested in the relationship between humans and nature. M: Cool. Is it what you studied years ago? W: No, I majored in Chemistry then. (Text7) M: Good morning, madam. I am your guide for this trip. W: How lovely! Could you tell me about the hotel I’m going to stay at? M: Yes, of course! The Grand Hotel opened in 1990, and it sits on the seaside along the South Coast Highway.It is the most beautiful hotel here. W: That sounds great!

M: The hotel has the best views of the Pacific Ocean. W: Oh, I think I will love this hotel. (Text8) W: Hi Mike! M: Hi Alice! Nice to see you. You don’t often come here.

It’s very nice but I will have to ask my friend first and we will come together. I understand it is eight hundred dollars a month. M: Yes. But a few blocks downtown would be much more expensive. W: Well, thank you. I will be in touch. (Text10) M: Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper, and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So I entered the City College to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college, because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you’re 15 years old in my country,you finish school and then learn a trade, and that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll 单词提示 1.tarts 馅饼 2.thrones 王座 3.trumpet 小号 原文 Chapter 7: Who Stole the Tarts The King and Queen of Hearts were sitting on their thrones when Alice and the Griffin arrived. There were a great crowd of birds and animals and all the pack of cards. Soldiers stood all around the Knave of Hearts and near the King with the White Rabbit with a trumpet in one hand. In the middle of the room, there was a table with a large plate of tarts on it. “They look good,” thought Alice, who was feeling a little hungry. Then the White Rabbit called out loudly, “Silence, the trial of the Knave of Hearts will now begin.” He took out along piece of paper and read, “The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts all on a summer day. The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts and took them all away.” “Very good,”said the King, “Call the first witness.” Alice looked at the jury, who were now writing everything down. It was a very strange jury. Some of the jurymen were animals and the others were birds. Then the White Rabbit blew his trumpet three times and called out first witness. The first witness was the Hatter, he came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other hand. “I am very sorry, your Majesty,” he said, “I was in the middle of tea when the trial began.” “Take off your hat,” the King said. “It isn't mine,” said the Hatter. “Stolen, write that down,” the King said to the jury. “I keep hats to sell,” explained the Hatter, “I don't have a hat myself. I'm a hatter.” “Give your evidence,” said the King, “or will cut your head off.” The Hatter's face turned white. “I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” He began in a shaking voice. Just then, Alice had a strange feeling. After a minute or two, she understood what it was. “Don't push like that,” said the dormouse who was sitting next to her, “I'm nearly falling off my seat.” “I'm very sorry,” Alice said politely, “I'm getting bigger and taller, you see.” “But you can't do that here,” said the dormouse crossly, and he got up a move to another seat. The Hatter was still giving evidence, but nobody could understand a word of it. The King looked at the Queen, and the Queen looked at the executioner. The unhappy Hatter saw this and dropped his bread and butter. “I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” he said again. “You're a very poor speaker,” said the King. He turned to the White Rabbit, “Call the next witness,” he said. The next witness was the Duchess's cook, who spoke very angrily and said that she would not give any evidence. The King looked worried and told the White Rabbit to call another witness. Alice watched while the White Rabbit looked at the names on his piece of paper. Then to her great surprise, he called out loudly, “Alice.” “Here,” cried Alice, jumping to her feet. “What do you know about these tarts?” said the King. “Nothing,”said Alice. The Queen was looking hard at Alice now. She said, “All people a mile high must leave the room.” “I'm not a mile high,” said Alice, “And I won't leave the room, I want to hear the evidence.” “There is no more evidence,” said the King very quickly, “And now the jury will…” “Your Majesty,”said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry, “We've just found this letter, there's no name on it, but I think the Knave wrote it.” “No, I didn't,”said the Knave loudly. “Read it to us,” said the King. “Where shall I begin? your Majesty,” ask the rabbit. “Begin at the beginning,” said the King, “And go on until you get to the end, then stop.” Everybody listened very carefully, while the White Rabbit read these words. “They tell me,you have been to her and talked of me to him. She thought I was a gardener, but said I could not swim. He tells them that I have not gone. We know that this is true. If she decides to hurry on, what will they do to you? I gave her one,they gave him two. You gave us three or more. They all returned from him to you, but they were mine before. “That's a very important piece of evidence,” said the King. He looked very pleased, “Now, the jury must…” “If anybody in the jury can explain that letter,” said Alice. She was not afraid of anything now, because she was much bigger than everybody in the room. “I'll give him sixpence.” “It's all nonsense, it doesn't mean anything.” The jury busily wrote this down, she thinks it's all nonsense. “All nonsense,eh,” said the King. He read some of the words again. “But said I could not swim. You can't swim, can you?”, he said to the Knave. The Knave's face was sad. “Do I look like a swimmer?” he said, and he didn't, because he was made of paper. The King smiled. “I understand everything now,” he said, “There are the tarts, and here is the Knave of Hearts,and now the jury must decide who the thief is.” “No, no,” said the Queen, “Off with his head, the jury can say what he thinks later.” “What nonsense,” said Alice loudly, “The jury must decide first.You can't…” “Be quiet,”said the Queen, her face turning red. “I won't,”said Alice. “Off with her head,” screamed the Queen. Nobody moved. “It doesn't matter what you say,” said Alice, “You're only a pack of cards.” Then the pack of cards flew up into the sky and began to fall on Alice's face. She gave a little scream and woke up. She was lying next to her sister and under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face. “Wake up,Alice, dear,” said her sister, “You've been asleep a long time.” “Oh, I've had a very curious dream,” said Alice, and she told her sister all about the strange adventures in her wonderful dream. 翻译 第七章:是谁偷走了馅饼? 红心国王和红心王后正坐在他们的王座上,这时爱丽丝和狮鹫兽走了进来。 房间里聚集了一大群鸟兽和所有的扑克牌。 士兵们站在红心侍从周围,还有国王和拿着喇叭的白兔。 房间中央有一张桌子,上面放着一大盘馅饼。 “这些看起来不错,”爱丽丝心想,她感到有点饿了。 然后白兔大声喊道:“安静,对红心侍从的审判现在开始。” 他拿出一张长长的纸条念道:“红心王后,在一个夏日里她做了些馅饼。红心侍从,他偷了那些馅饼并全部拿走了。” “很好,”国王说,“叫第一位证人上台。” 爱丽丝看着陪审团,他们正在把所有的事情都记录下来。 这是一个非常奇怪的陪审团。 有些陪审员是动物,其余的是鸟类。 然后白兔吹了三次他的喇叭,然后叫第一位证人上台。 第一位证人是帽匠,他手里拿着一个茶杯,另一只手里拿着一片面包和黄油。 “非常抱歉,陛下,”他说道,“审判开始的时候我正喝着茶呢。” “摘下你的帽子吧,”国王说道。 “那不是我的帽子,”帽匠回答道。 “记下来,是偷来的,”国王对陪审团说道。 “我收集帽子是为了出售的,”帽匠解释道,“我自己没有帽子。我就是个帽匠。” “请陈述你的证词,”国王说道,“否则我会砍掉你的脑袋。” 帽匠的脸色变得煞白。 “陛下,我是个穷苦人,”他用颤抖的声音说道。 就在这时,爱丽丝有一种奇怪的感觉。 过了一两分钟,她明白了那是什么感觉。 “别那样推了,”坐在她旁边的一只睡鼠说道,“我快从座位上掉下来了。” “非常抱歉,”爱丽丝礼貌地说道,“您瞧,我正在长大和变高呢。” “但你不能在这里这么做,”那只睡鼠生气地说道,并起身走向另一个座位。 帽匠仍在陈述证词,但没人能听懂他说的话。 国王看向王后,王后看向刽子手。 那个不开心的帽匠看到这一幕,把他的面包和黄油掉在地上。 “陛下,我是个穷苦人,”他又说道。 “你是个非常糟糕的演说者,”国王说道。 他转向白兔说道:“叫下一个证人来。” 下一个证人是公爵夫人的厨师,他非常生气地说道,说自己不会提供任何证词。 国王显得很担忧,于是让白兔叫另一位证人。 爱丽丝看着这一切,只见白兔看着他那张纸上的名字。 然后令她大为惊讶的是,他大声喊道:“爱丽丝。” “在这儿呢,”爱丽丝跳起身说道。 “这些馅饼有什么可说的?”国王问道。 “没什么,”爱丽丝回答道。 女王此时正紧紧地盯着爱丽丝。 她说:“所有身高达到一英里的人都必须离开房间。” “我不是一英里高,”爱丽丝说道,“而且我不会离开房间,我想听听证词。” “没有更多的证词了,”国王很快说道,“现在陪审团……” “陛下,”白兔急忙跳起来说道,“我们刚刚找到了这封信,上面没有名字,但我认为是侍从写的。” “不,我没有写,”侍从大声说道。 “读给我们听听吧,”国王说道。 “我从哪里开始读呢,陛下?”兔子问道。 “从开头读起,”国王说道,“一直读到结尾,然后停下来。” 所有人都聚精会神地听着,而白兔则念着这些话。 “他们告诉我,你曾去见过她,并向他提及了我。她以为我是园丁,但说我不会游泳。他告诉他们我没有离开。我们知道这是真的。如果她决定加快行程,他们会对你做什么呢?我给了她一枚金币,他们给了那个小偷两枚。而你们给了我们三枚或更多。它们都从那个小偷那里传到了你们这里,但它们原本都是我的。 “这是一条非常重要的证据,”国王说道。 他看起来非常高兴,“现在,陪审团必须……” “如果陪审团中有谁能解释那封信的话,”爱丽丝说道。 她现在什么都不怕了,因为她比房间里的所有人都要高大得多。 “我给他六便士。” “全是胡说八道,毫无意义。” 陪审团忙着把这些记录下来,她觉得全是胡说八道。 “全是胡说吗?”国王说道。 他又读了其中一些话。 “但他说我不会游泳。你会游泳吗?”他对侍从说道。 侍从的脸很悲伤。 “我看起来像游泳者吗?”他说道,而他不是,因为他是由纸做的。 国王笑了。“现在我全都明白了,”他说道,“这里有馅饼,还有红心侍从,现在陪审团得决定谁是小偷。” “不,不,”王后说道,“砍掉他的脑袋吧,陪审团之后再发表意见如何?” “胡说八道,”爱丽丝大声说道,“陪审团必须先做出决定。你不能……” “安静点,”王后说道,她的脸涨得通红。 “我不听,”爱丽丝说道。 “砍掉她的头!”女王怒吼道。 所有人都一动不动。 “不管你说什么都没用,”爱丽丝说道,“你不过是一副纸牌罢了。” 随后那副纸牌飞向天空,接着开始落在爱丽丝的脸上。 她轻声尖叫了一声,然后就醒了。 她正躺在姐姐身边,身处树林之下,还有一些树叶落在她的脸上。 “醒醒,爱丽丝,亲爱的,”姐姐说道,“你已经睡了很久了。” “哦,我做了一个非常奇怪的梦,”爱丽丝说道,并向姐姐讲述了她那奇妙梦中那些奇异的冒险经历。

"Axel, come with me." 然后他转向我,“阿克塞尔,跟我来。” He took me into his library. 他带我走进他的书房。 It was a big room with lots of bookcases against the walls and heavy velvet curtains in front of the windows. 那是一个宽敞的房间,墙上摆满了书架,窗户前挂着厚重的天鹅绒窗帘。 In the middle of the room, there was a desk where my uncle spent most of his evenings. 在房间的中间,有一张桌子,我叔叔大多数晚上都在那里度过。 He took an old book out of his coat pocket. 他从上衣口袋里掏出一本旧书。 He looked at me. 他看着我。 "Axel, look at this! Look at this!" “阿克塞尔,快看这个!快看这个!” I took it from his hand. 我从他手中接了过来。 Its cover was hard and it looked very old. 它的封面很硬,看起来很旧。 "Why, what is it, professor?" “怎么了,教授?” "I found it today in an old bookshop. It's seven hundred years old." “我今天在一家旧书店里找到了它。它已经有七百年的历史了。” "What's it about?" “这是关于什么的?” "It's about the old princes from Norway who came to live in Iceland." “这是关于挪威的旧时王子们来到冰岛定居的故事。” "Why is that so special?" “这有什么特别的?” He smiled and said, "Because it is written in a language that no one uses anymore." 他笑着说:“因为它是用一种已经不再使用的语言写的。” I opened the book and saw strange letters from a strange alphabet. 我打开书,看到了由陌生字母组成的奇怪字母。 I did not understand any of it. 我完全不明白。 I turned its yellow pages and a piece of paper fell out of the book onto the floor. 我翻开它的黄色书页,一张纸从书中掉到地上。 The professor jumped on it. 教授跳起将其踩住。 "What's this?" “这是什么?” It was an old yellow piece of paper with the same strange letters on it. 那是一张泛黄的旧纸,上面写着同样奇怪的字母。 The professor knew many languages, but he could not read this old language from Iceland. 这位教授通晓多种语言,但他无法阅读这种来自冰岛的古老语言。 He took a thick book from one of the shelves. 他从书架上取下一本厚厚的书。 It was a dictionary for all the old languages in the world which people do not speak today. 这是一本收录了世界上所有如今已不再使用的古老语言的词典。 Then, he gave me a piece of paper and a pencil. 然后,他给了我一张纸和一支铅笔。 "Axel, write down these letters as I read them to you." “阿克塞尔,我读给你听,你把这些字母写下来。” The professor read each letter to me and I wrote them down. 教授把每个字母都念给我听,然后我写了下来。 When we finished, this is what they said: 当我们完成时,他们这样说的: Go into the volcano at Sneffells Yokul. Before the first of July, the sun will show you the way to the center of the earth. Make this journey. It is fantastic. 去斯奈菲尔火山吧。在7月1日之前,太阳会指引你通往地球中心的路。踏上这段旅程吧。它妙不可言。 The name under this strange message was 'Arne Saknussemm'. 这条奇怪信息下的名字是“阿恩·萨克努塞姆”。 "Arne Saknussemm! I don't believe it!" “阿恩·萨克努塞姆!真不敢相信!” "Who's he?" “他是谁?” "He was a famous scientist. He wrote many strange things about the earth, but no one believed him. They said he was crazy. This must be the answer to the things he said. He left this piece of paper in the old book for someone to find. Do you understand, Axel, how lucky we are?" “他是一位著名的科学家。他写过许多关于地球的奇怪事情,但没有人相信他。他们说他疯了。这一定是他所说事情的答案。他把这张纸留在那本旧书里,希望有人能找到。阿克塞尔,你明白吗,我们有多幸运?” Then, he turned to the library door. "Martha!" 然后,他转向图书馆的门。“玛莎!” I couldn't understand any of the things my uncle said. "What do you mean, we?" 我听不懂我叔叔说的任何话。“你说‘我们’是什么意思?” Martha opened the door to the library. "Did you want me, sir?" 玛莎打开书房的门。“先生,您找我吗?” "Yes, Martha. I want you to buy us two train tickets to Denmark. Master Axel and I are going to Iceland." “是的,玛莎。我想让你给我们买两张去丹麦的火车票。我和阿克塞尔要去冰岛。” This was the biggest surprise of my life! "What?! Uncle, I can't go." 这是我人生中最大的意外!“什么?!叔叔,我不能去。” The professor looked at me calmly. "You can and you will." 教授平静地看着我。“你可以,而且你一定会。”
