15 Children who have no control over their own funds have no incentive not to beg for money and then spend every dollar that comes into their hands.

And yet, whenever I have a new book about to come out, I have to shake the unpleasant sensation that there is something unseemly about my own clamor for attention. Peddling my work like a

salesman still feels at odds with the high calling of literature. In such moments of doubt, I look to history for reassurance. It’s always comforting to be reminded that literary self-marketing has been practiced by the greats.

当今时代，作者除了不必亲自经营出版社之外，所有与图书出版有关的工作都要亲力亲为，自我推销已经成为家常便饭，我们几乎想也不想就投身其中。但我每次有书出版的时候，我总觉得大肆造势的做法不太体面，得费很大功夫才能克服这种不快。要我想销售员那样去兜售自己的作品，总是让人觉得与文学的崇高追求格格不入。每当我有了疑虑，我都会转向历史寻求安慰。得知历史上那些大家都做过自我营销，我的内心宽慰不少。

lecture9定语从句

I was sitting in a railway carriage opposite a child who was holding a large elephant on wheels under its right arm. I cannot remember what the child looked like, but I remember that he elephant had a skin of grey cloth and a red saddle, and that the child had

squeezed its handkerchief under the saddle, and ,pointing to this ,said ,as if telling me a secret: “ My pocket.”

我坐在火车车厢里，对面是个小孩，他右胳膊下面夹着一只带轮子的大象。我忘了孩子长什么模样，但我记得大象的皮肤是灰色的布做的，配着红色的鞍子。孩子把手帕塞到鞍子下面，然后指着鞍子，像是告诉我一个秘密似的，这是我的口袋。

It always comes as a relief to me when a child ventures some remark of this kind,

because when I meet a strange child for the first time in the presence of grown-up people I do not ,as a rule, find conversation easy.

一个小孩说出这样的话，总会让我松口气，因为我发现，当着大人的面和一个初次碰见的陌生孩子攀谈往往不是件容易的事情。

One’s ordinary conversation seems so far beneath the level of a small child .To say to it ,what wonderful weather we’ve been having. Would seem an outrage .The child would merely stare.

我们平常的交谈似乎远远不如小孩的水平，对小孩说，这些天的天气多好啊。简直是有毛病。孩子回瞪着你看。

Thirty or forty years hence it will have adapted itself to grown-up conversation ,and will have learned to return babble for babble like an ordinary inmate of a railway carriage. At present it believes that conversation should be as interesting as the things one thinks about, and that it should either be amusing or informing and serious. 三十年或者四十年后，现在的孩子会适应成年人的交谈，学会象火车车厢里的普通乘客一样互相敷衍。但眼前，孩子相信谈话应该象我们思考的那些事情一样有意思。要么妙趣横生，要么让人长见识，或者耐人寻味。

On the other hand ,it does not regard as serious many of the things that you and I regard as serious. There is no use looking over your paper at it and saying: “ Lloyd George seems to be getting into hot water with the French about the Poles.” 而另一方面，许多事情你我认为耐人寻味的，孩子们却不这么想，你没必要隔着报纸看过去，对孩子说，看样子乔治为了波兰人跟法国人闹得像是踩进了滚烫的热水。

The only words in the sentence that will convey anything to its mind are “hot water”, and these will call up a picture of somebody putting his toe into a steaming bath and having to withdraw it hurriedly.

这句话里，只有滚烫的水对孩子而言有意思，这让他的头脑里出现这样一副画面，一个人把脚趾头伸进热气腾腾的洗澡盆，随后赶紧又缩了回去。

This may lead to some reminiscences of baths of its own and to a conversation on baths in general------especially on the horror of sitting on in the bath when the plug has been taken out ,and there begins the gurgling of the animal that lives just under the plug-hole and is always trying to swallow you .

这会让孩子想起自己洗澡的一些经历和关于洗澡的谈话---特别是讲到那种坐在澡盆里而塞子被拔掉时的恐惧感，就好像放水口的下面有个咕噜噜叫的动物，总想着要把你吞下去。

翻译以下定语从句

1 My Grandmother lived in that leisurely age when servants were employed to do

housework.

2 The sun, which had hidden all day,now came over in all its splendor.

3 We are peoples that have inhereited ancient wisdom, that know the worth of biding one’s time.

6 We know that a cat, whose eyes can take in many more rays of light than our eyes, can see clearly in the night.

8 The manager insisted on building another villa ,which he had no use for. 我奶奶生活在一个悠闲的年代，那时可以雇用佣人来做家务事。 他们制定出一种方法，采用之后生产已经迅速得到了提高。 我们的人们继承了古代的智慧，懂得如何等待时机。

中国已派出贸易代表团前往亚洲各国，以便与各国政府商谈贸易协定。 她在自私的享乐中寻求幸福，结果永远也寻找不到幸福。 我们知道，由于猫的眼睛比我们的眼睛能吸收更多的光线，所以猫在黑夜里也能看得很清楚。经理坚持要再造一座别墅，尽管他并无此需要。

1 We didn’t know much about each other twenty years age. We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet. It was snowing when we got married at the Aahnee. Years passed ,kids came ,good times ,hard times ,but never bad times. Our love and

respect has endured and grown. We’ve been through so much together and here we are right back where we started 20 years ago—older, wiser-----with wrinkles on our faces and hearts. We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings ,secrets and wonders and we’re still here together. My feet have never returned to the ground.

二十年前我们相知不多，我们跟着感觉走，你让我一见倾心，深深迷恋。结婚的那天，

Ahwahnee 正下着雪。岁月无声，我们生儿育女，有时幸福，有时艰辛，却从未感到难过。我们的爱，彼此的敬重 历久弥新。在一起走过风风雨雨，我们又来到了我们结婚的地点，脸上多了皱纹，内心多了阅历，老了却更睿智了。我们在一起品尝了生活的喜悦，苦难，奥妙和奇迹，还在一起厮守。对你的迷恋一如既往。

20年前我们相知不多。我们跟着感觉走，你让我者迷得飞上了天。当我们在Ahwahnee 举行婚礼时，天在下雪。很多年过去了，有了孩子们，有美好的时候，有艰难的时候，但从来没有糟糕的时候。我们的爱和尊敬经历了时间的考验而与日俱增。我们一起经历了那么多，现在回到20年前开始的地方，老了，也更有智慧了，我们的脸上和心上都有了皱纹。我们现在了解了很多生活的欢乐，痛苦，秘密和奇迹，我们已让在一起。我的双脚从未落回地面。 But all historians are prisoners of their own experience. We bring to history the

preconceptions of our personalities and of our age. We cannot seize on ultimate and absolute truths. So the historian is committed to a doomed enterprise---the quest for an unattainable objectivity. 但是，历史学家都因为自己的经验而作茧自缚，我们将自己的个性和时代所预设的看法带给历史。我们不能把握住终极和绝对的真理。所以历史学家投身的是注定不会成功的事业，他们追求客观，却永远客观不了。

Conceptions of the past are far from stable. They are perennially revised by the urgencies of the present .When new urgencies arise in our won times and lives ,the historian’s spotlight shifts ,probing at last into the darkness, throwing into sharp relief things that were always there but that earlier historians had carelessly excised from the collective memory. New voices ring out of the historical dark and demand to be heard. 人们对过去的看法远非一成不变。人的观点不停的被眼前的紧急形势所修正，当我们的时代和我们的生活中上演新的事件时，历史学家的聚光灯便转移了，他们终于开始探照暗处，那些一直存在着，但却被早先的历史学家粗心的从集体记忆中删掉的事情被凸显出来了。新的声音从历史的暗处呼喊出来，要求人们倾听。

One has only to note how in the last half-century the movements for women’s rights and civil rights have reformulated and renewed American history .Thus the present incessantly reinvents the past. In this sense ,all history ,as Croce said ,is contemporary history .It is these permutations of consciousness that make history so endlessly fascinating and intellectual adventure. The one duty we owe to history, said Wilde, is to rewrite it .

只要注意一下过去半个世纪里，女权运动和民权运动是如何重塑，更新美国历史的，就会理解这点。因此，现今总是不停的再造过往。正是在这个意义上，如克罗齐所说，一切历史都是当代史。正是这种历史感的不停变化，才是的历史成为 一种不断激起人兴趣的智力探险。王尔德说，我们对历史的唯一责任就是重写历史。

Lecture 15

1 For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.

I’m lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when from the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim(边缘) with experience that needs to be sorted out. Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my selfis hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and perhaps, by looking again at each one as though it were a person. It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains, but the moment the lonely moment comes when the worlds falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood.

2 In his classic novel, “The Pioneers”, James Fennimore Cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, and a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. “Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?” she asks. He’s astonished she can’t see them. “Where! Why everywhere,” he replies. For thought they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished.

? Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to

see the present from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. As Albert Einstein once said, “Life for the American is always becoming, never being.”

Lecture 16

1But, as has been true in many other cases, when they were at last married, the most ideal of situations was found to have been changed to the most practical. Instead of having shared their original duties, and as school-boys would say, going halves, they discovered that the cares of life had been doubled. This led to some distressing moments for both our friends; they understood suddenly that instead of dwelling in heaven they were still upon earth, and had made themselves slaves to new laws and limitations. Instead of being freer and happier than ever before, they had assumed new responsibilities; they had established a new household, and must fulfill in some way or another the obligations of it. They looked back with affection to their engagement; they had been longing to have each other to themselves, apart from the world, but it seemed they never felt so keenly that they were still units in modern society.

2 The former friend . A sad thing . At best a wistful memory ; at worst a dangerous

enemy who is in possession of many of your deepest secrets. But what was it that drove you apart? A misunderstanding , a betrayed confidence ,an unrepaid loan ,an ill-conceived flirtation. A poor choice of spouse can do in a friend just like that. Going into the business together can be a serious mistake. Time, money, distance ; all noted friendship killers. You quit doing drugs, you’re not such good friends with your dealer anymore.,

And lest we forget , there are the friends you love to hate. They call at inopportune times . They say stupid things. They butt in , they boss you around ,they embarrass you in public. They invite themselves over . They take advantage and are convinced they are your best friend on the planet.

3 Over the past decade , the frequency , severity and political significance of global health problems have produced more awareness and action by countries ,international organizations and non-governmental actors on healthy issues than at any other time in history.
