Lesson 27: Nothing to sell and nothing to buy
没有东西可卖也没有东西可买
It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material good in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible for him to move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?
第50篇---New Year Resoutions 新年决心。这篇初读就觉得有鲁迅杂文般的质感,既讽刺又幽默。 从开篇的The New Year is a time for resoluions, 新年是一个下决心的好时候,就开始开启嘲讽技能。Mentally(只是心理上), at least, most of us could compile formidable lists of 'dos' and 'don't',至少我们个人精神上都会制定一个令人望而生畏的“要做什么”“不能做什么”的清单。前两句读起来就非常辛辣了。从高级词汇的使用角度来讲,recur 完全可以作为happen的同义替换词; year in and year out 年复一年,是不是比我们用烂掉的time after time, again and again, year after year 要好上很多。类似的还有很多完全可以在雅思写作或者口语里面运用到的短语,如 monotonous regularity; beyond attainment; slip back into our bad old ways; pitfalls;assiduously; taunts and jibes,都很实用而且地道。
第41篇---illusions of pastoral peace.宁静田园生活的幻想。稍微改头换面一下,就是一篇绝美的雅思作文题或者口语回答的范本啊! 比如经典的口语老题:Do you enjoy living in countryside? 回答: Yes, I do. I think country life is somehow superior to town life. I love everything about it such as friendly people there, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle peace of life. Nothing in city can be compared with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn and the sights of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. 有没有有没有一种背到就是赚到的感觉?
考研英语高级词汇
有很大区别。专升本的英语整体来说难度比较低,当然英语专业的话,有些科目,比如,口语听力,高级翻译和写作的,也不那么容易。四六级就四六级了,没什么好说的。考研英语其实个人感觉也没有特别难。毕竟属于国内应试型考试,套路比较多。整体来说单词量很重要,其他的就是灵活运用。
托福雅思才真的比较难考,国内的还有翻译类的几个高级口译,CATTI这类,其他的四六级就真的认真的背单词,基础弄好,刷刷真题,吃透知识点,都没什么问题。
高级英语一
先要说一下,英语中没有更高级这种说法,只有最高级,所以题干中更高级应该是最高级。first second third这三个词的意思是第一第二和第三,它们的最高级是在这个词的前面加定冠词the,在后面加上形容词的最高级。比如:The Yangzi River is the first longest river in China.长江是中国第一长河流。
高级英语参考书
基础英语的主要参考书如下:
课本类:《高级英语》张汉熙,这个是各大高校非常经典的参考书目,现在已经出版了第三版。
《综合英语》何兆熊(具体的书名记不太清了,就是这类的书目),外教社的一套课本,也是很经典的参考书目。
《现代大学英语》杨立民 外研社的,这个一般是大一大二打基础用的书,很多高校都用1~4册,5册和6册是高年级使用的。内容很翔实,值得推荐。
《新编英语语法教程》章振邦 (如果同学的语法基础薄弱,可以用这本书巩固基础)
题集类:
星火系列的基础英语,分版块讲,内容翔实,讲的点很透彻,就是题目有点儿久远了。
高校历年基础英语真题(有习题集,也有网上可以自行下载的。习题集有答案,但是网上真题找答案很难。)
专业英语八级真题
刊物类
《经济学人》(英语类的顶级选择,现在基础英语的篇章阅读基本上就是这样的难度)
《华尔街日报》等外刊
基础英语还是考的学生的综合水平,所以同学做题很有必要。
考研 高级英语
从全国的人力资源水平来看,硕士学历当然算高学历。目前具有研究生学历人才只有800万,占全国人口的5.7‰,占16岁以上劳动人口的8‰,应该说,这个比例还是很低的。多数二线及以下城市,在吸引人才时,对硕士研究生都会有相应的补贴,即便是应届的都有,而如果只有本科学历,那就要具有副高职称才能享受相应待遇。
不过,中国的研究生人才分布是非常不均衡的,地域、行业的分布上都不均衡。比如研究生在二线城市可以算人才,享受待遇,但在北上广深,可能什么待遇都没有,连户口都落不下,研究生在这些地方肯定就算不上高学历。又比如在高校、科研院所,硕士研究生连门槛都够不上。
一个人上了研究生,当然是想找一个适合研究生,又能区别于本科生专科生的职业了,但这种职业往往是研究生起步,所以,研究生们很少能感受到自己是高学历。这就像高考选大学,够清华的分当然上清华,清华学子在别人看来都是学霸,但在清华校园内,他们可能还时时感觉自己是学渣。要想体现出自己的高学历,体现出自己学霸的身份,只能去差一点的地方做鸡头了。
