Text 10

W:Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five-star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, l asked Susan if she'd ever met Mr. Rochester. She said yes.  Shortly after Mr. Rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived,the first person he met was Susan, who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for 30 minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, Mr.Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was. Now, I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good memory. He must have written a lot of notes after first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It's time consuming,but it shows the importance he places on human relationships, I think that’s one of the secrets of his success.

William Shakespeare by Jennifer Bassett

单词提示

1.Scottish 苏格兰人

原文

Chapter 8: A Scottish king for England.

Will's father died in September 1601.

In his last years, John Shakespeare was a happy man.

His son was famous, and the Shakespeare family was important again in Stratford.

But there weren't many children in the family.

Will's sister Joan was married and had a little boy, but Will's brothers didn't have any children.

Susanna,Will's older daughter was now 18.

And Will said to her one day, “We must find you a husband soon, Susanna.”

But Susanna shook her head.

“Oh,I don't want to be married, father, thank you.”

We all smiled at that, because there was already a young man who was often a visitor at New Place.

That was John Hall, a clever young doctor.

Will liked him.

Back in London, the theatres were always full.

And actors were now important people in the city.

Will and I were now living in very fine lodgings in Silver Street with the Mount Joy family.

The Globe and the Lord Chamberlain's Men were doing very well, and the older actors in the company were making money and buying houses and land.

But some people still thought that actors were dangerous, wicked people.

Then Queen Elizabeth died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond.

I remember the day well.

The theatres were closed.

You can't have plays when a queen is dying, and we were all at Henry Condell's House.

He and John Hemings lived very near our lodgings in Cripplegate.

We were all very worried.

The new King of England was James I.

He was already King of Scotland, and he had a young wife Queen Anne of Denmark,and three young children.

But what was he like? Would he be a good king?

And most importantly, did he like plays?

“If King James doesn't like plays,” said Henry Condell, “we're finished.”

There are already a lot of Puritans on the London City Council, and they love to close the theatres down.

Henry always looked at the black side of everything.

“Well,he's written a lot of books himself,” said Will, “perhaps he'll be interested in plays too. We'll just have to wait and see. We didn't have to wait long.”

On 19 May, I was underneath the stage in the Globe.

I was trying to mend a broken door in the floor of the stage.

We used this door when a ghost came on or went off in a cloud of smoke.

Suddenly,I heard feet running across the stage.

I looked up through the hole and saw Will and John Hemmings and Richard Burbage.

They were all very excited.

“Listen to this, Toby.” said Will.

He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

“It's a letter from King James from today. We are the King's men, we're working for the King himself, and he wants to see all the plays. We're going to have new red coats to wear when we go to court.” Richard said.

And John said, “He's going to pay us £20 for every play at court. What do you think about that, Toby?”

We were all laughing and smiling now.

“Well,John,” I said, “if we are so rich, can I have a new door? I can't mend this one again, it's too old.”

That summer, the plague came back.

By July, 1000 people were dying every week in London.

One of them was the little son of Will's friend Ben Johnson.

By the end of the year, there were 33000 dead.

In England, the theatres closed and the king's men went on tour.

Will and I spent the summer at Stratford.

When Christmas came, the King's men put on a lot of plays at court.

The King was at Hampton Court Palace that year, which was outside London well away from the plague.

I couldn't go, because I fell off my horse one day and broke my leg.

Stupid thing to do, I had to stay at home, but Will told me all about it when he came back.

“The new king and queen like to enjoy themselves, Toby.” he said, “They are a happy family. Prince Henry, who's nine is a very nice little boy, and his sister Elizabeth is beautiful. Little Prince Charles is only two.”

He was silent for a minute, perhaps he was thinking about Hamnet, then he went on.

“Queen Anne likes plays very much. She likes music and dancing too. She showed her legs in one dance.

“My word,” I said, “things like that never happened at court in Queen Elizabeth days.”

“We live in different times, Toby. A lot of things are going to change, but change only comes slowly.”

The King's men went from one success to another at the King's court.

At Christmas 1604, there were 22 plays, and 8 of them were Wills.

In 1605, there were 13 plays at court and 10 of them were Wills.

We always did the plays at the Globe first before we took them to court.

Will was writing more slowly now, but during these years, he wrote some of his best plays—Othello Macbeth and King Lear.

That was a sad, dark play.

When King Lear carried his dead daughter Cordelia onto the stage, well, every man,woman, and child in the Globe was crying. It's true.

Richard Burbage played Lear, of course, what an actor he was.

翻译

第八章：苏格兰国王入主英格兰

1601年9月，威尔的父亲去世了。
在最后的岁月里，约翰·莎士比亚过得很幸福。
他的儿子声名远扬，莎士比亚家族在斯特拉特福也重新恢复了声望。
不过，家族里的子嗣并不算多。
威尔的姐姐琼结了婚，生了个小男孩，但威尔的弟弟们都没有留下后代。

威尔的大女儿苏珊娜当时已经18岁了。
有一天，威尔对她说：“苏珊娜，我们得赶紧给你找个丈夫了。”
但苏珊娜摇了摇头。
“哦，我不想结婚，父亲，谢谢您。”
听到这话，我们都笑了，因为已经有个年轻人经常来“新地”做客了。
他叫约翰·霍尔，是个聪明的年轻医生。威尔挺喜欢他的。

在伦敦，剧院总是座无虚席。
演员们在城里也成了有头有脸的人物。
我和威尔当时住在银街的芒乔伊一家，住处非常气派。
环球剧院和“宫内大臣剧团”的生意红红火火，剧团里的老演员们都赚了钱，纷纷购置房产和土地。
不过，仍有一些人认为演员是危险、邪恶的人。

1603年3月24日，伊丽莎白女王在里士满宫驾崩。
那一天我记忆犹新。
剧院全都关门了。
女王弥留之际，谁也不能演戏。我们当时都聚在亨利·康德尔的家里。
他和约翰·赫明斯住得离我们位于克里普尔盖特的住处很近。
我们心里都忐忑不安。

英格兰的新国王是詹姆斯一世。
他原本就是苏格兰的国王，有一位年轻的妻子——丹麦的安妮王后，还有三个年幼的孩子。
但他是个怎样的人呢？他会是个好国王吗？
最重要的是，他喜欢看戏吗？
“如果詹姆斯国王不喜欢戏剧，”亨利·康德尔说，“我们就全完了。”
伦敦市政委员会里已经有很多清教徒了，他们最喜欢干的事就是关闭剧院。
亨利总是把事情往最坏的方面想。
“嗯，他自己就写过不少书，”威尔说，“也许他对戏剧也会感兴趣。我们只能走着瞧了。”
我们并没有等太久。

5月19日那天，我正待在环球剧院的舞台底下。
我正在修补舞台地板上的一扇破门。
每当鬼魂在烟雾中出场或退场时，我们就会用到这扇暗门。
突然，我听到舞台上有一阵急促的脚步声。
我透过洞口往上看，看到了威尔、约翰·赫明斯和理查德·伯比奇。
他们全都激动万分。
“托比，你听这个。”威尔说。
他手里拿着一张纸。
“这是国王今天刚下达的信件。我们现在是‘国王剧团’了，直接为国王陛下效力，他想看我们所有的戏。以后我们进宫时，都要穿上崭新的红色制服了。”理查德说。
约翰接着说：“在宫里每演一出戏，他要付给我们20英镑。托比，你觉得怎么样？”
我们全都开怀大笑起来。
“好吧，约翰，”我说，“既然我们现在这么有钱，能给我换扇新门吗？这扇旧门我实在修不好了。”

那年夏天，瘟疫再次爆发。
到了7月，伦敦每周都有1000人丧生。
威尔的朋友本·琼森的小儿子就是其中之一。
到了年底，死亡人数达到了3万3千人。
在英格兰，剧院纷纷关闭，“国王剧团”只好去外地巡演。
那个夏天，我和威尔是在斯特拉特福度过的。

到了圣诞节，“国王剧团”在宫廷里演了很多出戏。
那年国王待在伦敦城外的汉普顿宫，远离瘟疫的侵扰。
我没能去成，因为我有一天从马上摔下来，摔断了腿。
真是件蠢事，我只能待在家里。不过威尔回来后把一切都告诉了我。
“托比，新国王和王后都很懂得享受生活，”他说，“他们是个幸福的家庭。9岁的亨利王子是个非常讨人喜欢的小男孩，他的姐姐伊丽莎白公主十分美丽。小查尔斯王子才两岁。”

他沉默了一会儿，也许是想起了哈姆内特，然后继续说道：
“安妮王后非常喜欢看戏。她也喜欢音乐和舞蹈。在一次跳舞时，她还露出了小腿呢。”
“天哪，”我说，“在伊丽莎白女王时期，宫里可从来没有过这种事。”
“时代不同了，托比。很多事情都会发生改变，只是改变总是来得很慢。”

“国王剧团”在国王的宫廷里接连取得成功。
1604年的圣诞节，宫廷里一共演了22出戏，其中有8出是威尔写的。
1605年，宫廷里演了13出戏，威尔的占了10出。

我们总是先在环球剧院上演新戏，然后再进宫表演。
威尔现在的创作速度慢了下来，但在这些年里，他写出了一些他最杰出的作品——《奥赛罗》、《麦克白》和《李尔王》。
那是一出极其悲伤、阴郁的戏。
当李尔王抱着死去的女儿考狄利娅走上舞台时，环球剧院里的男女老少全都在哭泣。我发誓这是真的。
饰演李尔王的当然是理查德·伯比奇，他真是一位伟大的演员。

M: I need to have it delivered this Saturday.

W: What are we going to do then?

M: Nothing much. Just stay indoors. There is a risk of falling trees and power lines.

W: Right.

M: And the low temperatures could bring snow to the forest area.

W: Jack, how did you get to school when you were in primary school?

M: I lived close to my school, so I walked every day. Why?

W: Well, I remember that when we were kids, we often walked, rode a bike or caught the bus to school. Few of us were dropped off at the school gate by our parents.

M: I see what you mean. These days you can see traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-up times, but it’s hard to blame the parents. They have good reasons for driving their kids to school, mostly to do with safety and convenience.

W: You have a point there, but it could also mean children are missing out on much needed exercise and other life skills. Some parents are just being over-protective with their children learning nothing, but living in fear of everything. Studies have found that children who spend more time outside tend to be healthier, better adjusted and better at dealing with stress.

Text 9

M: So Marie, your kitchen garden looks excellent. What made you turn to social media to record your vegetable growing?

W: Initially, I used the online platform as a diary, something to look back on, giving me a sense of achievements and keeping me motivated and moving forward. As time went by, other gardeners and like-minded people began to follow my progress, too.

M: I know you grow lots of fruit on your land. Which would you recommend to beginners as the best to grow?

W: Strawberries would be a good choice.They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.

M: That’s cool. Well, do you have plans to try new or any particular crops next year?

W: Next season I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area. I will be adding more herbs which I can use in the kitchen. And, after a couple of years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.

M: What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening?

W: Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like. Don’t be too discouraged if things don’t go according to plan. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There is always next season.

Chapter 7: Queens, kings and princes

Every year, we took more and more plays to court at Christmas.

In 1598, one of Will's plays was Henry IV.

A lot of the play was about the king's son and his friend Sir John Falstaff.

Sir John was old, fat, lazy, drank too much, talk too much, laugh too much, but you had to love him.

He was a great favorite with the London playgoers, and there were a lot of Falstaff jokes going round at the time.

After the play, the queen wanted to speak to Will.

“Why?What have we done wrong?” John Hemmings said to me in a very quiet voice.

“We'll find out in a minute.” I said.

We all watched while Will walked over to the Queen's chair.

She was an old woman, she wore a red wig and she had black teeth, but she was still a very great queen.

And if the queen was not pleased, she had a good, strong voice, an actor's voice.

We could hear her easily.

“Mr.Shakespeare.” she began, then she smiled, and suddenly you knew why all Englishmen loved the Queen.

It was like the sun coming out on a spring morning.

“Mr.Shakespeare, you are the best playwright in England. I enjoyed your play and I thought that Sir John Falstaff was very funny. I have known many Englishmen like him. Will you write me another play? I would like to see Sir John in love.”

When Will came back to us, his eyes were bright, but he was already thinking about it.

“Don't talk to me,” he said, “I've got a play to write.”

He wrote it in two weeks.

And we took it down to Richmond Palace and played it before the Queen on February 20.

She laughed and laughed at the Merry Wives of Windsor.

She didn't have much to laugh about in 1599.

There was a lot of trouble in Ireland, and the Queen sent the Earl of Essex with 20000 men to fight a war.

Lord Southampton, Will's friend went with him.

All London came out onto the streets to watch when Essex and his men left for Ireland.

Will wrote an exciting play about war that summer, and he put in a word or two about Ireland.

That was Henry V, about a very famous English king who fought a war in France.

But Essex was not Henry V, he didn't know how to fight a war, and he ran away back to England later that year.

The queen never spoke to him again.

In September, we opened the Globe Theatre.

It was a grand new building near the Rose.

Will,Richard Burbage and the others paid for it themselves.

It was the best playhouse in London and soon the most famous.

The other companies had good theatres and some good actors, but we had the famous Richard Burbage and the best plays.

We put on three new plays by Will in the next year and some plays by other writers.

One of the new playwrights was Ben Johnson.

He was a clever man and he wrote clever plays, but people still liked Will's plays best.

Ben couldn't understand it, he was always arguing with Will about how to write plays.

He argued with everyone, he went to prison once, because he killed a man in a fight.

He was eight years younger than Will, but he and Will were very good friends.

Will's next play was Hamlet, prince of Denmark.

We all met one day in the Boar's Head to talk about it.

There were six of us, me and Will, Richard Burbage, Henry Condell, John Hemmings and Augustine Phillips.

Will put his pile of papers on the table and sat down.

“Well,”he said, “you've all read it, what do you think?”

“It's very good,” John Hemmings began, “but it's too long. It'll take about four hours in the theatre. We don't have to use it all.”

Will said, “We can cut it down to 3 hours, perhaps 2.5.”

Henry Condell picked up one of the papers from the table, look at this bit when Ophelia is talking about Hamlet.

He said, “Hamlet sounds like the Earl of Essex to me. Were you thinking of Essex when you wrote this?”

Will smiled. “Perhaps,” he said, “and perhaps not.”

“Richard will play Prince Hamlet? Yes?” said Augustine.

“Of course.” Will said, “I wrote the part for him. He's our star actor. I'll play the ghost of Hamlet's father.”

He looked at me.

“Hamlet will wear black, Toby and Ophelia will wear white.”

Henry finished his beer.

“It's a good story, all with good parts for us all. But will the playgoers like it?It moves very slowly, and they like a play to be fast and exciting. Prince Hamlet knows that his uncle Claudius murdered the king, his father, but he doesn't do anything about it for a long time. He just talks about it, and in the end, nearly everybody dies one way or another.”

Augustine didn't agree with that.

“You haven't understood the play Henry, It is exciting, very exciting. The play is inside Hamlet himself, he wants to kill his uncle, but he can't. Murder is wrong, but he must kill him because of his father. We can all understand how he feels.”

All this time, Richard Burbage was silent.

He was reading bits of the play again.

Now he put down the paper in his hand and looked up.

His eyes were bright, excited.

“Have any of you really listened to the language of this play?This is your best play yet, Will. The best of them all just listen to the language, the poetry.”

He stood up and his great voice filled the room.

“To be or not to be, that is the question.”

We sat and listened silently while that wonderful voice brought the words to life.

Will watched him smiling.

He knew that Richard like him, was in love with words.

“To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come. When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause.”

Richard Burbage was right, of course.

The people loved the play.

They loved Burbage as Hamlet, they cried for poor Ophelia's death, and they shouted for the murderer Claudius to die.

I think it was Will's most famous play.

翻译

第七章：女王、国王与王子们

每年圣诞节，我们进宫为女王演出的剧目都越来越多。
1598年，我们演了威尔的一出戏——《亨利四世》。
这出戏很大一部分是在讲国王的儿子和他的朋友约翰·福斯塔夫爵士。
福斯塔夫爵士又老又胖，又懒又贪杯，话多、笑也多，但你就是会忍不住喜欢他。
他深受伦敦观众的喜爱，当时街头巷尾都在流传关于福斯塔夫的段子。

演出结束后，女王点名要见威尔。
“怎么回事？我们做错什么了吗？”约翰·赫明斯压低声音问我。
“马上就会知道了。”我说。
我们全都注视着威尔走到女王的座椅前。
她是一位年迈的女王，戴着红色的假发，牙齿也是黑的，但她依然是一位极其伟大的君主。
而且，如果女王不高兴，她可是有一副洪亮的好嗓子的，那绝对是演员级别的嗓音。
我们在台下都能听得清清楚楚。

“莎士比亚先生，”她开口唤道，随后微微一笑。那一刻，你突然就明白了为什么全英格兰的子民都深爱着女王。
那感觉，就像春日的清晨拨云见日，阳光普照。
“莎士比亚先生，您是英格兰最杰出的剧作家。我很欣赏您的戏，觉得约翰·福斯塔夫爵士非常有趣。我认识许多像他这样的人。您能再为我写一出戏吗？我想看看陷入爱情的福斯塔夫是什么模样。”

当威尔回到我们中间时，他双眼闪烁着兴奋的光芒，但他显然已经在构思了。
“别跟我说话，”他说，“我得去写戏了。”
他只用了两个星期就写完了。
2月20日，我们带着这出戏去了里士满宫，为女王献演。
看《温莎的风流娘儿们》时，她笑得前仰后合。
在1599年，她确实没多少值得笑的事情。
爱尔兰爆发了叛乱，女王派埃塞克斯伯爵率领两万大军前去平叛。
威尔的朋友南安普顿伯爵也随军出征了。
当埃塞克斯和他的军队出发前往爱尔兰时，全伦敦的人都涌上街头观看。

那年夏天，威尔写了一出激动人心的战争戏，里面还顺带提了一两句爱尔兰的事。
那就是《亨利五世》，讲述的是一位在法国征战的著名英格兰国王的故事。
但埃塞克斯可不是亨利五世，他根本不懂怎么打仗，后来在那一年直接逃回了英格兰。
女王从此再也没有跟他说过一句话。

9月，我们开设了环球剧院。
那是一座宏伟的新建筑，就在玫瑰剧院附近。
威尔、理查德·伯比奇等人是自费建造的。
它是伦敦最好的剧院，很快也成了最著名的剧院。
其他剧团也有不错的剧场和优秀的演员，但我们拥有大名鼎鼎的理查德·伯比奇，还有最好的剧本。
第二年，我们不仅上演了威尔的三部新戏，还演了其他作家的作品。
其中一位新晋剧作家是本·琼森。
他是个聪明人，写的戏也很巧妙，但观众最喜欢的始终是威尔的戏。
本对此百思不得其解，他总是为了怎么写戏和威尔争论。
他跟谁都吵，甚至还因为打架杀了人进过一次监狱。
他比威尔小八岁，但两人是非常要好的朋友。

威尔的下一部戏是《哈姆雷特，丹麦王子》。
有一天，我们六个人在野猪头酒馆碰头讨论这出戏。
在场的是我、威尔、理查德·伯比奇、亨利·康德尔、约翰·赫明斯和奥古斯丁·菲利普斯。
威尔把一叠稿纸放在桌上，坐了下来。
“好了，”他说，“你们都已经看过了，觉得怎么样？”
“非常好，”约翰·赫明斯开了口，“但是太长了。在剧院里演完大概要四个小时。我们没必要全演。”
威尔说：“我们可以把它删减到三个小时，也许两个半小时。”

亨利·康德尔从桌上拿起一页稿纸，指着奥菲莉亚谈论哈姆雷特的那一段说：
“我觉得哈姆雷特听起来有点像埃塞克斯伯爵。你写这段的时候，想到的是埃塞克斯吗？”
威尔笑了笑：“也许是，也许不是。”
“理查德来演哈姆雷特王子，对吧？”奥古斯丁问。
“当然，”威尔说，“我就是为他写的这个角色。他是我们最红的台柱子。我来演哈姆雷特父亲的鬼魂。”
他看向我：
“托比，哈姆雷特要穿黑衣，奥菲莉亚要穿白衣。”

亨利喝完了他的啤酒。
“故事很好，大家也都有好角色演。但观众会喜欢吗？这戏的节奏太慢了，他们喜欢看节奏快、情节刺激的戏。哈姆雷特王子明明知道他叔父克劳狄斯谋杀了他的父亲——老国王，但他却迟迟没有采取行动。他只是不停地谈论这件事，而到了最后，几乎所有人都以各种方式死去了。”

奥古斯丁不同意他的看法。
“亨利，你没看懂这出戏。它很精彩，非常精彩。戏剧的冲突全在哈姆雷特的心里。他想杀他的叔父，但他做不到。谋杀是罪恶的，但为了父亲，他又必须这么做。我们都能体会他的感受。”

在整个讨论过程中，理查德·伯比奇一直沉默不语。
他一直在反复默读剧本的片段。
这时，他放下手中的稿纸，抬起头来。
他的双眼闪烁着兴奋的光芒。
“你们当中有谁真正听懂了这出戏的语言吗？威尔，这是你迄今为止最好的一部戏。所有戏里最好的一部！你们听听这语言，听听这诗意。”

他站起身，洪亮的嗓音瞬间充满了整个房间：
“生存还是毁灭，这是一个问题。”
我们静静地坐着，听着那美妙的嗓音赋予文字以生命。
威尔微笑着注视着他。
他知道，理查德和他一样，对文字爱得深沉。
“死了；睡着了；睡着了：也许还会做梦；嗯，阻碍就在这儿；因为当我们摆脱了这具朽败的躯壳，在那死亡的睡眠里，究竟会做什么样的梦，这不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。”

理查德·伯比奇当然是对的。
观众们爱极了这出戏。
他们迷恋伯比奇饰演的哈姆雷特，为可怜的奥菲莉亚之死落泪，并高喊着让凶手克劳狄斯偿命。
我想，这是威尔最著名的一部戏了。

M:Linda, you work on plays and shows but you are not on stage. What do you do?

W:I'm a costume designer. I have the actors become their characters.

M: I sit a kind of like playing dresser?

W: A little bit. But I need to study the play to create the characters' clothes, not just use my imagination.

M:How do you do that?

W: I read the play and do research about the time and place of the story. If the story is set in the past, I might study old magazines or paintings. For plays set in now, I sometimes collect pictures of people on the street.

M:Then what do you do?

W: I take my ideas and pictures to the director of the show. We talk about whether I'm on the right track. If it’s good, we will hire a tailor to make the costume.

M: Is it finished then?

W:Almost. We still need to try on the actor to make sure everything fits and looks good.

M:Wow, it takes so many steps to make a costume.

W:Yes, it does. I work with lots of different people to put it all together.

W: Hi Kevin. I've just got back from the Art Gallery. There's a wonderful show of abstract art. You should have come with me.

M: I don't know. Abstract art seems like children's painting to me.

W:Well, if you don't understand what the artist is trying to communicate, it can seem a little like that.

M:What did you see then?

W:There were two paintings that impressed me most. The first is a huge one which I supposed the tree although it could have been anything.

M:What did you like about it?

W:Just the way the tree looked. It was like the tree was made of hard metal, and the mix of white and gray made everything look like it was winter, freezing winter.

M:That's something. What about the other one?

W:The second looked like a piece of grassland. All the grass was purple and red,and there was green sky in the background. I looked at it and thought of summer.

M:Hmm, your description really teaches me something about appreciating abstract art. Maybe I should go and give this show a try this Saturday.

W:You really should.

Major roads, the airport,trains and buses were all thrown behind the schedule as more than a month's worth of rain fell in just one hour during the morning rush. All traffic into city remains very heavy. Pittwater Road is closed due to a car crash. Consider using Wicks Road instead. A police officer has been hurt assisting drivers in North Ryde. A woman is believed to have broken her leg after a tree fell on her car. The roof of Town Hall Station has fallen in, causing delays for passengers. The rain is expected to be at its heaviest from 9:00 am until 11:00 am. Today a total of up to 200 millimeters rain is being forecast, along with damaging winds of more than 90 kilometers per hour to fall. All road users are advised to reconsider the need to be on roads in such wild weather, andreschedule their day and continue on their journey after the rain stops.

Chapter 6: Death in the family

After the plague years, we were busy all the time.

There were new companies of players, and Will now belonged to the Lord Chamberlain's Men.

The Lord Chamberlain was a very important man, close to the Queen. 

And we often put on plays for the Queen's Court and in the houses of the Great Lords of England.

We had some very good actors.

There was Will and Richard Burbage, of course, and John Hemmings.

And there was Augustine Phillips, Henry Condell, and Thomas Pope.

There were other actors too, but those six were the real company.

They worked together for more than 20 years, and made a lot of money too.

I did the costumes and properties for the Chamberlains.

John Hemmings said I was the best properties man in the city.

Will was special, because he wrote the plays, and what plays they were.

He never wrote the same play twice like some writers, he was always trying something new, something different, and he wrote fast too.

John Hemmings could never understand that.

“How can you write so fast, Will?” he asked him, “and you never make a mistake or change a word?”

Will didn't really understand it himself.

“It's all in my head.” he said, “I think about it, and then it just comes out on paper.”

He wrote a play about love in 1595, young love.

It was Romeo and Juliet.

It was a very sad play, because the young lovers die at the end, but the playgoers loved it.

They wanted to see it again and again.

Will played the part of old Capulet, Juliet's father,

One of the boy actors, played the part of Juliet.

There were no women actors, so boys played all the women's parts.

Of course, Will never put real love making on stage.

He did it all with words, clever, beautiful words, and you forgot that the women and girls were really boys in dresses.

Some of the boy actors were very good and went on to play men's parts when they were older.

We played Romeo and Juliet at Richmond Palace that year.

We always played before the Queen at Christmas.

She liked to see the new plays and she paid us £10 a play.

We often had to work through the night to get the stage ready in time, but it was exciting to be in one of the Queen's palaces at Christmas.

There was a lot of singing and dancing and eating and drinking.

Some years, Christmas began in November and didn't finish until February or March.

The year 1596 began well, but that summer the weather was really bad, cold, wet, it never stopped raining, and the plague began to come back into London.

We were in Stratford for the summer, but I went down to Hampshire for a few weeks to do some business for Will about some sheep.

Will didn't need me at home, because he was busy writing his new play—A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I came back to Stratford one wet August evening.

The house in Henley Street was strangely quiet, and I went round the back and up to Will's room, his writing room, we call it.

He was just sitting there, not doing anything, just sitting.

“What's the matter, Will?” I said, “Where is everybody?”

“At church?”

His face was gray and his eyes looked empty, dead.

“What's happened?” I asked, “What is it?”

He looked at me.

“Hamlet,”he began, “Hamlet was ill last week and he died yesterday. He was only 11, Toby,and he's dead. My boy, my only son, He's dead, Toby, dead.”

He put his face in his hands.

What can you say to a man when something like that happens to him?

I sat down next to him and put my hand on his arm.

We sat together silently.

I knew that Will loved that boy of his red haired, bright as a new penny, full of life, just like his father.

After a while, I said, “You'll have other sons.”

“Anne's 40 already.” Will's voice was tired, “She's had no children since the twins.”

“Will, now you've got two fine girls in Susanna and Judith, they'll marry before long, and then you'll have more grandsons than you can count. You'll see there'll be boys running up and downstairs shouting for their granddad, Will.”

He smiled sadly, but his eyes were not so empty now.

“Pleased,”I went on quickly, “and there are all your brothers, Gilbert, Richard, Edmund,they'll have sons too. The Shakespeare family will never die out. Think of the family, Will, the family.”

And he did, he was already a famous poet and playwright, but he was a family man too.

The next year, 1597, he bought a new house for his family.

It was a big grand house called New Place, right in the middle of Stratford.

It cost £60, a lot of money, and the townspeople began to say Mr. Shakespeare, not young Will, the actor or John Shakespeare's boy.

They were happy to do business with him and to borrow money from him.

Anne was very pleased with the new house.

The wife of Mr. Shakespeare of New Place was an important person in Stratford, but she still didn't like Will's work. 

“Actors are wild, dangerous people.” she often said to him, “I'm not interested in plays or the and I don't want to know anything about your work.”

But she liked the money, and the new house, and the new dresses, and the 6 fields of apple trees, and the big farm north of Stratford that came a few years later.

Will never talked much about Hamnet.

Life goes on and Will was busier than ever, but I know he thought about his son a lot.

His grief was very deep inside him.

A year or two later, I was talking to John Hemmings about the costumes for Will's new play——King John.

John Hemmings was a family man, he had 14 children.

In the end, the noise in his house, shouting and laughing, coming and going.

John was looking at the playbook.

“You see this bit here, Toby.” he said, “Will's writing about his son, isn't he?”

I read the words slowly, and remembered Will's empty eyes that day in August.

“Grief fills the room. Up of my absent child, lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words…”

Richard Burbage said once that Will's writing changed after Hamlet's death.

“Will still laughed at people in his plays,but he also felt sorry for them, sorry for all the world, Good and bad, rich and poor, young and old. And his people were real. No one was all good or all bad. There was a man called Shylock in his play—The Merchant of Venice. This Shylock was a money lender and a cruel man. Everyone hated him. But in the end, when Shylock lost everything, you had to feel sorry for him. He was just a sad old man.”

Perhaps Richard was right, and if anyone understood Will, it was Richard Burbage.

第六章：家中的变故

瘟疫过后，我们便一直忙个不停。
伦敦涌现了许多新的剧团，而威尔此时加入了“宫内大臣剧团”。
宫内大臣是个举足轻重的大人物，深得女王信任。

我们经常在女王的宫廷里，或是英格兰各大贵族的府邸中登台演出。

我们有一批非常出色的演员。
当然，有威尔和理查德·伯比奇，还有约翰·赫明斯。
此外还有奥古斯丁·菲利普斯、亨利·康德尔和托马斯·波普。
虽然还有其他演员，但这六个人才是剧团真正的核心。
他们在一起合作了二十多年，也赚了不少钱。

我为宫内大臣剧团打理服装和道具。
约翰·赫明斯说，我是全城最棒的道具师。

威尔更是个特殊的人才，因为剧本都是他写的，而且写出的都是怎样的杰作啊！
他从不像有些作家那样千篇一律，总是不断尝试新的题材和风格，而且下笔如飞。
约翰·赫明斯怎么也想不通这是怎么做到的。
“威尔，你怎么能写得这么快？”他问，“而且从不犯错，连一个字都不改？”

其实威尔自己也说不清。
“全在我的脑子里，”他说，“我在心里构思好，然后它们就自然而然地落在纸上了。”

1595年，他写了一出关于爱情的戏，一段青涩的爱恋。
那就是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。
这是一出极其悲伤的戏，因为年轻的爱人最终双双殉情，但观众们却爱极了它。
他们看了一遍又一遍。

威尔在戏里饰演朱丽叶的父亲老凯普莱特。
而朱丽叶则由一个少年演员反串。
那时候没有女演员，所有女性角色都由男孩来演。
当然，威尔从不在舞台上展现真实的亲热场面。
他全靠文字来表达，那些巧妙而绝美的词句，会让你完全忘记，台上的少女其实只是穿着裙子的男孩。
有些少年演员演得极好，长大后便顺理成章地开始饰演男性角色。

那年，我们在里士满宫演了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。
我们每年圣诞节都会为女王演出。
她喜欢看新戏，每演一出就付给我们10英镑。
为了及时搭好舞台，我们经常得熬夜赶工，但在圣诞节期间能身处女王的宫殿里，那种感觉真是令人兴奋。
宫里到处是歌声、舞蹈，还有无尽的美食与美酒。
有些年份，圣诞节的庆祝活动从11月就开始了，一直要持续到次年二三月才结束。

1596年开局不错，但那年夏天天气糟透了。阴冷潮湿，雨下个不停，瘟疫也开始在伦敦卷土重来。
整个夏天我们都在斯特拉特福，但我曾去汉普郡待了几个星期，替威尔处理一些关于羊群的生意。
威尔在家里倒不需要我帮忙，因为他正忙着写他的新戏——《仲夏夜之梦》。

8月的一个雨夜，我回到了斯特拉特福。
亨利街的那栋房子安静得有些反常。我绕到屋后，走上楼来到威尔的房间——我们管那叫他的书房。
他就那么坐在那里，什么也没做，只是呆呆地坐着。
“怎么了，威尔？”我说，“大家都在哪儿？去教堂了吗？”
他的脸色灰白，眼神空洞，仿佛失去了所有生气。
“出什么事了？”我问，“到底怎么了？”
他看着我。
“哈姆内特，”他开口说，“哈姆内特上周病了，昨天走了。他才11岁啊，托比，他死了。我的儿子，我唯一的儿子，他死了，托比，死了。”
他把脸深深埋进了双手里。

当一个人遭遇这样的变故，你还能说什么呢？
我在他身边坐下，把手搭在他的手臂上。
我们就这样默默地坐着。
我知道威尔有多爱那个男孩。他红头发，朝气蓬勃，像崭新的便士一样闪闪发光，就像他父亲当年一样。

过了好一会儿，我说：“你以后还会再有儿子的。”
“安妮都已经40岁了。”威尔的声音透着深深的疲惫，“自从生了双胞胎之后，她再也没怀上过。”
“威尔，你现在有苏珊娜和朱迪思两个好女儿，她们很快就会嫁人，到时候你的孙子会多到数不过来。你会看到一群男孩在楼上楼下跑着，大声喊着要爷爷抱的，威尔。”
他苦涩地笑了笑，但眼神不再那么空洞了。
“而且，”我急忙接着说，“你还有你的弟弟们，吉尔伯特、理查德、埃德蒙，他们也会有儿子的。莎士比亚家族绝不会断绝。想想你的家族吧，威尔，想想你的家人。”

他听进去了。他那时已经是一位声名显赫的诗人兼剧作家，但他骨子里同样是个顾家的人。
第二年，也就是1597年，他为家人买下了一栋新房子。
那是位于斯特拉特福镇中心的一栋宏伟的大宅，名叫“新地”。
这栋房子花了60英镑，在当时是一笔巨款。

镇上的人们也开始尊称他为“莎士比亚先生”，而不再叫他“年轻的威尔”、“那个演员”或是“约翰·莎士比亚的儿子”了。
人们很乐意和他做生意，也愿意把钱借给他。

安妮对这栋新房子非常满意。
作为“新地”的莎士比亚太太，她在斯特拉特福成了一位重要人物，但她依然不喜欢威尔的工作。
“演员都是一群狂野、危险的人。”她经常对他说，“我对戏剧不感兴趣，也不想了解你的那些工作。”
但她喜欢钱，喜欢这栋大宅，喜欢那些漂亮的新衣服，喜欢那六片苹果树林，还有几年后买下的斯特拉特福北边的那座大农场。

威尔很少再提起哈姆内特。
生活还在继续，威尔比以往任何时候都要忙碌，但我知道，他常常在思念他的儿子。
那份悲痛，被他深深地埋在了心底。

一两年后，我和约翰·赫明斯在讨论威尔的新戏《约翰王》的服装。
约翰·赫明斯是个顾家的人，他有14个孩子。
他家里总是吵吵闹闹的，充满了孩子们的喊叫和笑声，人来人往，好不热闹。
当时约翰正在看剧本。
“托比，你看这里，”他说，“威尔是在写他的儿子，对吧？”
我慢慢地读着那些词句，想起了8月那天威尔空洞的眼神。
“悲痛填满了我失去的孩子的房间，
他仿佛躺在他的床上，与我一同踱步，
露出他可爱的模样，重复着他的话语……”

理查德·伯比奇曾说过，哈姆内特死后，威尔的写作风格变了。
“威尔依然会在戏里嘲笑世人，但他也开始悲悯他们，悲悯这世上的芸芸众生。无论善恶、贫富、老幼。他笔下的人物都是真实的。没有绝对的善，也没有绝对的恶。比如他戏里的夏洛克，那个《威尼斯商人》里的放贷人，残忍刻薄，所有人都恨他。但当夏洛克最终失去一切时，你却又忍不住要同情他。他不过是个悲哀的老人罢了。”

也许理查德说得对。如果说这世上有谁真正懂威尔，那一定是理查德·伯比奇。

W: Hi, George. I’ve just heard the news. Americans are not just shopping online, they are buying expensive products on the Internet. Nearly three out of ten online shoppers in the United States have bought a product that costs $1,000 or more. Those big online spenders are much more likely to be men than women.

M: I’m not surprised. You know,men are usually the early adopters when it comes to technology.

W: I can’t imagine that back in the 1990s, online shopping wasn’t just awkward, it felt risky. People were afraid to give out their credit card numbers. They worried if products didn’t arrive in time.

M: But now people are talking about the explosion in Internet shopping.

W: Yes, indeed. Last year, U.S.shoppers spent $453 billion in shopping online, and many of them went big. What did they buy? Just about anything.

M: I hope it snows all night,because I don’t want to go to school tomorrow.

W: Do you know anyone who has a camera? I left mine at home. I want to take pictures of all this snow.

M: No, I don’t. But why don’t you use your cell phone to take pictures?

W: Well, I don’t think cellphones do a good job. I want to take some really nice pictures of this wonderful snow scene. You know, the college is preparing a photography exhibition next month. I hope my pictures will be selected. Oh, I know now.Have you seen Sarah today? She has a camera.

M: No, she hasn’t been around lately. But do you know Mike? He has a camera. In fact, I know he’s interested in photography.

W: Mike? You mean that tall boy,captain of our school football team? Okay, let’s ask him to go with us.

M: Well, I don’t mind doing something interesting. We can go to Waterloo Park, a good place to take pictures.

(Text 10)

W: Hey, everyone. I’m really excited to be here to share my experiences since graduation. When I was leaving here about 10 years ago, I decided to go to college, which, when I think about it, is a little strange, because I come from a family where no one had ever gone to college. Everything I knew about college came from the movies.Once in college, I got a classic case of too much fun and too little class time. At the end of my second year, my major professor warned me, you’re never going to graduate unless something big changes. But it wasn’t until I entered my graduate program in conservation ecology that I felt I was on the right path. My conservation work has brought me joy, excitement, and adventure. I’ve done some research in the remote mountains of California. I’ve had dinners with important politicians. I’ve even stepped over snakes in Africa. But most important of all, it gave me something bigger than myself to fight for. When I look back, I feel fortunate to have chosen college and particularly science,through which I have rediscovered myself and achieved liberation. And I’m sure you all can do the same.

Chapter 5: The plague years

Will wrote his play Richard Iii for Richard Burbage, and it was a great success.

Richard Iii was a wicked king, a murderer, but he was wonderful on the stage with Burbage's,great voice and fine acting.

Soon all London was saying King Richard's famous words when his horse is killed in war, “A horse, a horse. My kingdom for a horse.”

All kinds of people came to see plays, and Will was making a lot of new friends.

One day after the play, he was talking to a young man outside the Rose.

He was a very beautiful young man, a bit like a girl perhaps, but still very good looking.

Later,I asked Will who he was.

“The Earl of Southampton.” Will said, “he's only 18, but he loves poetry and plays.”

“Isn't he a friend of the Earl of Essex?” I asked.

Everybody knew the Earl of Essex.

He was young and good looking, and some people said that Queen Elizabeth was in love with him.”

I don't know about that.

The Queen was 59 years old and a very, very clever woman.

But it was true that she liked to have good looking young men around her, and the Earl of Essex was her favorite.

Then it all changed later, of course.

“Yes,he is.” said Will, “but I think Essex is a dangerous man, Henry needs better friends than him.”

“Henry?” I said surprised, “my word, do you really call him Henry, not Lord Southampton?”

“Only when other people aren't there.” Will laughed,“I'm still just an actor from Stratford, Toby, not very important. Let's go and have a drink at the Boar's Head on our way home.”

Will was always like that, quiet, never shouting about himself to the world.

In the Boar's Head, we met some friends and started talking.

The talk was all about the plague, which was coming back again into London.

“Have you heard the latest news?” said one man, “They say that more than 30 people are dying every week now, and the city council said another man wants to close all the theatres. They always do that. When the play comes to London, there'll be no work for any of us actors.”

“But the players can go on tour surely,” said Will.

“Yes,”said the first man, “But it's a hard life, a different town, a different inn, a different play every night. I think I'll stay in London.”

The plague is terrible in any place, but it was worst in London, in those narrow streets with houses so close together and the dirty water running down the middle of the street.

There was no escape.

When the plague came, it ran like fire through the town.

If someone in a house got the plague, then the doors were shut and locked and a big red cross was put on the door.

Nobody could leave the house.

You had to stay inside and fight or die.

If you were rich, you left London as fast as you could.

In September 1592, the city council closed the theatres.

“Are we going on tour, Will?.” I said to him one day, “or back to Stratford?”

“We can't stay in London. You go back to Stratford, Toby.” he said slowly, “I'm going to Lord Southampton's home in Hampshire for a while. He's asked me to go and stay with him. I can do some writing there, read his books, meet a few people.”

I looked at him, “There's a woman in this somewhere, isn't there? You've had a strange look in your eyes for weeks.”

Will laughed, but didn't answer my question.

The theatres in London didn't open again until June 1594.

Will often visited Lord Southampton, but sometimes we went on tour with the company or spent time at home in Stratford.

Will began to spend more time in Stratford, because it was quiet there and he could do his writing.

I never heard what Anne thought about it all.

During those years, Will wrote a lot of poetry.

He wrote his beautiful long poem Venus and Adonis for his friend Lord Southampton, and he wrote many of his famous short poems, the sonnets.

But they didn't go in a book, they were only for his friends to read.

One day, when we were back in London, I was reading some of his latest sonnets.

Will was out somewhere, and I was at home in our lodgings in Bishop's Gate.

A lot of the poems were about a woman, a terrible black haired, black eyed woman.

She was cruel and cruel, then she was true and loving, and then she was cruel again.

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

“Was Will writing about himself here?” I asked myself, “And who was this woman, this dark lady?”

I always like to know what's going on, so I listened and watched and looked at all his women friends.

Then one day I saw her, I was coming in the door at our lodgings, and she was coming downstairs.

She had black hair and great stormy black eyes, and there was gold at her ears and round her neck.

I stood back and she went past me like a ship sailing into war.

She looked wild and angry and very, very beautiful.

“Woo,”I said to myself, “if that's Will's dark lady, he'll never have a quiet, easy life.”

The woman looked Italian, so I went and asked John Florio about her.

Florio was Lord Southampton's Italian teacher.

We saw a lot of him in those days.

I described the woman, and he knew her at once.

“Amelia,”he said. “Amelia Bassano. Now Amelia Lanier, wife to Alfonso O Lanier. Before that, she lived with the old Lord Chamberlain. She wasnot his wife, you understand, but why do you want to know, my friend?”

“If she's a married lady, she doesn't have a lover now then.”

Florio laughed loudly, “Lovers, you don't know Amelia Lanier, she's a bad woman, my friend, a bad woman.”

Now he spoke very quietly for a time, “She was the friend of Lord Southampton, but not now.”

That is all finished.

I didn't ask him about Will, perhaps Amelia Lanier was Will's dark lady, or perhaps Will was just trying to help his friend Lord Southampton.

Nobody will ever know now.

第五章：瘟疫岁月

威尔为理查德·伯比奇创作了剧本《理查三世》，并取得了巨大的成功。
理查三世是个邪恶的暴君、一个杀人犯，但在舞台上，凭借伯比奇洪亮的嗓音和精湛的演技，这个角色被演绎得精彩绝伦。
很快，全伦敦的人都在传诵着国王理查在战马被杀时的那句名言：“马，马，一马换江山！”

形形色色的人都来看戏，威尔也因此结识了许多新朋友。
一天演出结束后，他在玫瑰剧院外和一个年轻人交谈。
那是个非常俊美的年轻人，或许带点阴柔之气，但依然十分英俊。
后来，我问威尔他是谁。
“是南安普顿伯爵，”威尔说，“他才18岁，但非常热爱诗歌和戏剧。”
“他不是埃塞克斯伯爵的朋友吗？”我问。
埃塞克斯伯爵可是个家喻户晓的人物。
他年轻俊美，有人说伊丽莎白女王都对他动了情。
我倒不觉得。
女王当时已经59岁了，是个极其聪明的女人。
不过，她确实喜欢让俊美的年轻人陪在身边，而埃塞克斯伯爵正是她最宠爱的一个。
当然，他们后来的关系还是变了。

“是的，他是。”威尔说，“但我觉得埃塞克斯是个危险人物，亨利需要比他更好的朋友。”
“亨利？”我惊讶地说，“天哪，你居然真的叫他亨利，而不是南安普顿勋爵？”
“只有没外人的时候才这么叫。”威尔笑着说，“托比，我毕竟只是个来自斯特拉特福的演员，没什么大不了的。走吧，我们回家路上去野猪头酒馆喝一杯。”
威尔总是这样，低调内敛，从不向世人张扬自己。

在野猪头酒馆里，我们遇见了几个朋友，大家开始闲聊起来。
话题全绕着瘟疫转，因为瘟疫又卷土重来，逼近伦敦了。
“你们听说最新消息了吗？”一个人说，“据说现在每周都有30多人丧命，市议会里又有人提议关闭所有剧院。他们总是这样。等瘟疫在伦敦蔓延开来，我们这些演员就都没饭吃了。”
“不过演员们肯定可以去外地巡演吧？”威尔说。
“是啊，”第一个人回答，“但那日子太苦了。每个晚上都要换一座城、换一家客栈、演一出不同的戏。我想我还是留在伦敦吧。”
瘟疫在任何地方都很可怕，但在伦敦却最为致命。那里街道狭窄，房屋紧紧挨在一起，肮脏的污水就在街道中央流淌。
根本无处可逃。
瘟疫一旦爆发，就像烈火般席卷全城。
如果一户人家有人染病，大门就会被死死锁住，门上还会画上一个大大的红十字。
谁也不许离开。
你只能待在里面，要么拼命活下去，要么等死。
如果你有钱，就会以最快的速度逃离伦敦。

1592年9月，市议会下令关闭了所有剧院。
“我们要去外地巡演吗，威尔？”有一天我问他，“还是回斯特拉特福？”
“我们不能留在伦敦了。托比，你回斯特拉特福吧。”他慢吞吞地说，“我要去汉普郡南安普顿伯爵的家里住一阵子。他邀请我去他那儿。我可以在那儿写点东西，读读他的藏书，再结交些人。”
我看着他：“这背后是不是有个女人？你这几个星期的眼神可不太对劲。”
威尔笑了笑，却没有回答我的问题。

直到1594年6月，伦敦的剧院才重新开门。
威尔经常去拜访南安普顿伯爵，但有时我们也会跟着剧团去巡演，或者回斯特拉特福的家里住上一阵。
威尔开始花更多时间待在斯特拉特福，因为那里很安静，适合他写作。
我从没听过安妮对此有什么想法。

在那几年里，威尔写了很多诗。
他为好友南安普顿伯爵写了那首优美的长诗《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》，还写了许多著名的十四行诗。
但这些诗并没有结集出版，只是拿给朋友们私下传阅。

有一天，当我们回到伦敦时，我正在读他最新写的几首十四行诗。
威尔出门去了别的地方，我一个人待在主教门我们租住的屋子里。
他有很多首诗都在写一个女人，一个有着可怕的黑发、黑眼睛的女人。
她时而残忍冷酷，时而深情专一，接着又再次变得冷酷无情。
“我曾发誓说你美丽，以为你光彩照人，谁知你黑如地狱，暗似长夜。”

“威尔这是在写他自己吗？”我自问，“而这个女人，这位‘黑女士’，到底是谁？”
我一向喜欢打听个究竟，所以我留心观察着他身边的所有女性朋友。
后来有一天，我终于见到了她。

当时我正走进我们租住的屋子，而她正从楼上走下来。
她有着黑色的头发和一双如暴风雨般深邃的黑眼睛，耳朵和脖子上都戴着金饰。
我退到一旁，她从我身边走过，就像一艘驶向战场的战船。
她看起来狂野、愤怒，却又美得惊心动魄。

“天哪，”我心里暗想，“如果这就是威尔的‘黑女士’，那他这辈子都别想过上安稳舒心的日子了。”
那个女人看起来像意大利人，于是我去找了约翰·弗洛里奥打听。
弗洛里奥是南安普顿伯爵的意大利语老师。
那阵子我们经常见到他。
我向他描述了那个女人的模样，他立刻就知道是谁了。
“是艾米莉亚，”他说，“艾米莉亚·巴萨诺。现在叫艾米莉亚·拉尼尔，是阿方索·德·拉尼尔的妻子。在那之前，她曾和老宫廷大臣住在一起。你明白的，她并不是他的妻子。不过，我的朋友，你打听她做什么？”
“如果她是个有夫之妇，那她现在应该没有情夫了吧？”
弗洛里奥大声笑了起来：“情夫？你还不了解艾米莉亚·拉尼尔啊，我的朋友，她是个坏女人，是个坏女人。”
接着，他压低声音，沉默了一会儿才说：“她曾是南安普顿伯爵的情人，但现在不是了。一切都结束了。”

我没有再向他打听威尔的事。

也许艾米莉亚·拉尼尔就是威尔诗中的“黑女士”，又或许威尔只是在帮他的朋友南安普顿伯爵打掩护。
事到如今，再也没有人知道了。

W: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm here to offer you some tips on public speaking. One of the worst mistakes you can make as a public speaker is talking too long. It doesn't matter if your entire speech was(is) good. The audience came(come) away with information that will change their lives. If you talk too long, they will leave saying that speaker just wouldn't quit. Don't let this happen to you, say what you have to say and sit down. Before you do,give them a well-thought-out closing. The last thing you say is generally what the audience remembers most. Just like your opening, your closing doesn't have to be humorous. It could be challenging, thoughtful, or it could retell your point in a different way. Please, at some time during your talk, ask the audience to do something. Many a great talk went no farther than the walls of the meeting room, because the audience wasn't moved to action. If you haven't asked them to do something by now, the closing is your last chance.

Chapter 4: A new life in London

It's two days journey to London by horse, and Will talked all the way.

His eyes were bright and excited.

He was full of plans, and poems, and a love of life.

“I talked to one of the queen's men.” he told me, “He said that he could find me work in the theatre, acting perhaps, or helping to write some plays. I showed him some of my writing and he was very interested.”

When we rode into London, I began to feel afraid.

This was a big, big city, and we were just two unimportant young men from a small town.

I'll never forget the noise, and the smells, and the crowds.

There were 200000 people living in the city of London.

I never saw so many people before in my life.

We went down to the River Thames, and saw the famous London Bridge with all its shops and houses.

Down the river was the Tower of London.

Enemies of the Queen went into the tower through the river gate and mostly came out without their heads.

We found a small inn in east, cheap, not too expensive, and had some bread, meat,and beer for our supper.

“Well,we're here.” Will said at last.

I said, “What do we do next?”

He laughed everything.

The next day, we began to look for work.

Those early years were wonderful.

We didn't have much money of course, and we had to work very hard.

A new actor only got six shillings a week, and there wasn't work every week.

I decided not to be an actor.

“Why not?” said Will, “It's a great life.”

We were working that month for the Queen's men at the theatre called The Curtain Up in Shoreditch.

Will was acting four small parts in two different plays.

He played a soldier and a murderer in one play.

And in the other play, he was a thief and also an Italian lord in love with the Queen of the knight, and he loved it.

“I'm not clever like you,” I said, “I can't remember all those words. I forget who I am. I say the soldier's words when I'm an Italian lord, I come on stage too late or too soon. I stand in all the wrong places.”

Will laughed, “What are you going to do then?”

“Costumes,”I say, “and properties. I had a talk with John Hemmings, and he said they need a new man to help with all the clothes and the other things.”

“Yes,”Will said slowly, “you'll be good at that now. I've got a fight on stage tomorrow and I have to die with lots of blood. How are you going to get me some blood? I've already got it.”

I smiled kindly at him, “Sheep's blood, I got it down at Smithfield Market this morning. You can have as much blood as you want. I'm keeping it warm for you.”

Will was good at acting, not the best, but good.

An actor had to do everything, he had to learn his words of course, perhaps for six different plays at the same time.

No theatre put on the same play every day, he had to dance and sing and play music,he had to jump and fall and fight and the fights had to look real.

The playgoers of London knew a real fight when they saw one.

John Hemmings of The Queen's Men taught us both a lot.

He was a good friend then, and for many years.

I had a lot to learn, too.

I learned how to make shoes out of brown paper, how to clean the actor's hats with a bit of bread, then they looked like new again.

I ran all over London to buy the best hair for the wigs.

I learned how to make fish and fruit and a piece of meat out of wood and colored paper.

Will was busy day and night.

I don't know when he slept.

He was acting in plays, he was writing his own plays, he was reading books, he was meeting other writers, making friends.

He was learning, learning, learning…

One day, we were having a glass of beer with Richard Burbage at the Boar's Head in east cheap.

Burbage was an actor with Lord Strange's Men. He was very friendly with Will.

“You've written four plays now, Will.” he said, “they're good and you're getting better all the time. And I'm getting better as an actor all the time. Come and work with Lord Strange's men at the Rose Theatre on Bankside. You can write for us.”

So,we both went to the Rose.

John Hemmings came with us.

And Augustine Phillips, he was a good actor, too.

We worked harder than ever at the Rose.

Plays were always in the afternoon because of the daylight.

We had rehearsals in the morning.

And by lunchtime, people were already coming across the river to get their places for the play, and more and more people came.

By 1592, London was hearing the name William Shakespeare again and again.

第四章：在伦敦的新生活

骑马去伦敦有两天的路程，一路上威尔说个不停。
他的双眼闪烁着兴奋的光芒，脑子里装满了计划、诗歌，以及对生活的无限热爱。

“我和‘女王剧团’的一个演员聊过了，”他告诉我，“他说能帮我在剧院找份活儿，也许是当演员，或者帮着写写剧本。我给他看了我写的一些东西，他非常感兴趣。”

当我们骑马进入伦敦时，我开始感到害怕了。
这是一座极其庞大的城市，而我们不过是两个来自小镇、无足轻重的年轻人。
我永远不会忘记那里的喧嚣、气味和拥挤的人潮。
当时伦敦城里住着20万人。
我这辈子从没见过这么多人。

我们来到泰晤士河畔，看到了著名的伦敦桥，桥上密密麻麻全是店铺和房屋。
顺着河往下游走，便是伦敦塔。
女王的政敌们会被从水门押进塔里，而大多数人都身首异处地出来。

我们在东边找了一家小客栈，价格便宜，不算太贵。

晚饭我们吃了些面包、肉，喝了点啤酒。
“好吧，我们到了。”威尔终于说道。
我问：“我们接下来做什么？”
他对一切都充满干劲。

第二天，我们便开始找工作。
最初的那几年真是奇妙无比。
当然，我们没多少钱，而且必须拼命工作。
一个新演员一周只能赚6先令，而且并不是每周都有活儿干。

我决定不去当演员了。
“为什么不呢？”威尔说，“这可是个极好的行当。”
那个月，我们正在肖迪奇区一家名叫“帷幕剧院”的地方为“女王剧团”干活。
威尔在两出不同的戏里演了四个小角色。
在一出戏里，他演了一个士兵和一个刺客；在另一出戏里，他演了一个小偷，还演了一位爱上骑士女王的意大利领主。他简直爱死演戏了。

“我不像你那么聪明，”我说，“我记不住那么多台词。我连自己是谁都会忘。演意大利领主的时候，我会说出士兵的台词；我上台不是太早就是太晚，还总是站错位置。”
威尔大笑起来：“那你打算做什么？”
“管服装和道具，”我说，“我和约翰·赫明斯聊过了，他说他们需要个新人来帮忙打理衣服和其他物件。”
“是啊，”威尔慢条斯理地说，“你现在做这个肯定合适。明天我在台上有一场打斗戏，我得‘死’得血肉模糊才行。你打算怎么给我弄点血来？”
“我已经弄到了。”我温和地对他笑了笑，“羊血，今天早上我在史密斯菲尔德市场买的。你要多少有多少。我还一直给你温着呢。”

威尔是个不错的演员，虽算不上顶尖，但也相当出色。
当演员什么都得干，背台词自然是基本功，有时候还得同时背下六出不同戏的台词。
剧院不会每天只演同一出戏，所以演员还得会唱歌、跳舞、演奏乐器，还得在台上跳跃、摔倒、打斗，而且打斗必须看起来像真的一样。
伦敦的观众可是火眼金睛，一眼就能看出打斗是不是来真的。

“女王剧团”的约翰·赫明斯教了我们很多东西。
他当时是我们的好朋友，后来也是，这份友谊持续了许多年。

我也有一大堆东西要学。
我学会了怎么用牛皮纸做鞋，怎么用一小块面包把演员的帽子擦得焕然一新。
为了买到做假发最好的毛发，我跑遍了整个伦敦。
我还学会了怎么用木头和彩纸做出鱼、水果和肉块。

威尔从早忙到晚。
我都不知道他什么时候睡觉。
他忙着演戏，忙着写自己的剧本，忙着看书，忙着结交其他作家、交朋友。
他一直在学，学，学……

有一天，我们在东边齐普赛区的“野猪头酒馆”和理查德·伯比奇一起喝啤酒。
伯比奇是“斯特兰奇勋爵剧团”的演员，他和威尔关系极好。
“威尔，你现在已经写了四出戏了，”他说，“写得很好，而且你一直在进步。作为演员，我也在不断进步。来南岸的玫瑰剧院为斯特兰奇勋爵剧团效力吧。你可以专门为我们写剧本。”

于是，我们俩都去了玫瑰剧院。
约翰·赫明斯也跟着我们一起去了。
还有奥古斯丁·菲利普斯，他也是个出色的演员。
在玫瑰剧院，我们比以前更加拼命地工作。
因为需要自然光，演出总是安排在下午。
我们上午排练。
到了吃午饭的时候，人们就已经开始过河来占座等看戏了，而且人越来越多。

到了1592年，伦敦城里的人开始一遍又一遍地听到“威廉·莎士比亚”这个名字。

录音原文

(Text 1)

W:Tom, shall we buy a gift for Maggie’s birthday?

M:Yes, but I don’t know what she likes.

W:Let’s call her roommate, Sofia. She might know what to buy for her.

(Text 2)

W:Could you check this bill for me? I don’t think it’s right.

M:Certainly. First, did you have two coffees?

W:Oh, did I?

M:Yes. You had one before the meal and another after.

(Text 3)

W:Hi, Mike. What are you doing here? I remember you finished your final exams.

M:Yes, but I’ve got to select next term’s courses.

W:Oh, that’s good. We can do this together.

(Text 4)

W:How much time do we have before the movie? We won’t have to hurry, will we?

M:Don’t worry. It’s 6:30 now. We still have two hours. It takes only 30 minutes to get there.

(Text 5)

W:Good morning, sir. I’d like to ask you a few questions if I may.

M:Well, I’m waiting for my flight. So I guess I can if you make it brief.

(Text 6)

M:Hello, can I speak to the sales manager, please?

W:Yes, I’m the sales manager. Can I help you?

M:Right. Well, I phoned two days ago to say I hadn’t received my order and I’m ringing again to say it still hasn’t arrived.

W:Can I just take your name, please?

M:Yes, it’s Frank Edward.

W:Ah, Mr. Edward. I think there’s been a problem with that order. 

M:What kind of problem?

W:You see, part of the order didn’t arrive here at the storehouse. So we couldn’t send it out until we’d received everything from the supplier.

M:Well, surely that was not my problem. I placed this order weeks ago.

W:Yeah, I’m sorry about this, Mr. Edward. But we’ll do everything we can to send this out to you today.

M:Right, please do. I am badly in need of it.

(Text 7) 

W:Mmm, there’s a wonderful smell of fresh coffee in the air.

M:Oh, welcome! This is the Festo coffee. It’s the best in the world, and you can only get it here.

W:And, where is here?

M:The Festo Island.

W:Festo Island? So that’s where we are. Goodness, we really have gone off course.

M:Where are you heading?

W: We set off at Cape Island and were supposed to be sailing toward Dennis Island,but we got lost when our GPS broke.

M:Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. My brother fixes things. I’m sure he can help. Let me take it for you, and if you can come back at four o’clock, it will be ready, hopefully.

W:Brilliant, and while I’m here, can I buy some of those coffee beans?

(Text 8)

W:Hey, Alexis. Great to see you! Ready for a bit of skating?

M:Yeah, but I haven’t been skating for ages, Martha.

W: Me neither, but I’m a natural when it comes to sports. So, what’s in your bag?

M: A few things — a hat, gloves, a jacket, the usual skating safety equipment.

W:We’re only going around the park. 

M:Well, you never know.

W: I don’t bother with hats and gloves or that sort of things. I find it gets in the way.

M:Don’t you worry about getting hurt?

W:No, I love adventures. Just the other day, I went climbing on this climbing wall, and I didn’t even use safety equipment. If I get hurt, I just ignore the pain.

M:Well, I am not that brave.

W:Hey, come on. Let’s get going.

M:Wait a second. I need to get my equipment on.

(Text 9)

M:Hello, Claudia. Do you remember me?

W: Of course. Hello, Chris. You look well.

M: It must be eight years since you left school.

W:That’s right. You were four years below me. I was in the same year as your older sister, Stephanie?

M:Yes, you two were very close.

W: Is Stephanie here for the 50-year celebration of our school?

M:No, she is in Denmark for business.

W:What are you doing now?

M:After school, I got a place at university and I am majoring in business studies.

W:That sounds interesting. I got a job as an interpreter.

M:What languages do you speak?

W:Apart from English, I speak French and German.

M: I didn’t get on well with my French teacher here at school, so I dropped the subject at the end of my fifth year. 

W:Where do you study?

M: In London. I enjoy living in London.

W: I sometimes travel to different parts of Britain with my boss to do interpreting for him. Next week, he has a conference in London.

M:Will you have time to call and visit me while you’re in the area?

W:Yes, I’d love to.

M:I’ll give you my phone number. Ring me in the evening.

W:Thank you. We’ll be able to have more time to catch up.

(Text 10) 

W:Welcome aboard our city tour bus. First, let me tell you about the tour. We’re going to travel through the most historic parts of the city for about an hour,with lots of chances for you to take photos or just enjoy the wonderful buildings like the City Hall and the Royal Theater. Then, we’ll drop you off at the museum. You have about two hours there. At 11:30, we’ll start for our next destination — the Stanley Market. You may buy some fruit and cheese from the marketplace and have a light meal in the park nearby. But please, please,please come back on time at 1:30 p.m. We can’t wait for any latecomers. Now,I’ll give you some instructions on safety.

原文

Chapter 3: The actors come to town

Will married Anne Hathaway in November, and she came to live in Henley Street.

John Shakespeare was pleased that his oldest son was married, but I don't think Will's mother wanted him to marry so young.

Families cost a lot of money, and John Shakespeare was having a lot of money troubles in those days.

Times were hard in Henley Street.

Susanna was born the next May.

All babies looked the same to me, but Will was very pleased with her look.

“Toby,she's got my eyes,” he said happily. “She's going to be as beautiful as the Queen of Egypt and as clever as King Solomon.”

“Oh yes.” I said.

All parents talk like that about their children, I don't believe a word of it.

I didn't see much of Will's wife, I knew she didn't like me.

To her, I was one of Will's wild friends who got him into trouble.

She came from a very serious Puritan family, lots of church going, and no singing or dancing.

Soon,there was another baby on the way.

And one evening in February 1585, I hurried round to Henley Street to hear the news.

Will's sister Joan open the door, and then Will came running down the stairs.

“It's two of them.” he said, “Twins, a girl and a boy. Isn't that wonderful?”

Will had some good friends Hamnet and Judith Sadler, and he called the twins after them.

John Shakespeare was very pleased to have his first grandson, and everyone was happy for a while.

Will and I still went around together when we could.

He was still reading and writing, and soon I could see a change in him.

He was 23 now, and he was not happy with his life.

“Stratford's too small, Toby.” he said, “Too slow, too quiet, too boring. I've got to getaway.”

“Yes,but how?” I asked, “You've got a family, three young children, remember?”

He didn't answer.

In the summer months, companies of players often came to small towns.

And in 1587, five different companies came.

Will and I always went to see the plays, Will love to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London.

The Queen's men came to Stratford in June, and we went to see the play.

I don't remember what it was.

I know that I laughed a lot and that Will said it was a stupid play with not a word of poetry in it.

“Why don't you write a play yourself?” I told him.

“Write a play?” he laughed and would never speak to me again.

I didn't say anything, and Will looked at me and laughed again.

It happened a few months later.

I walked into the Shakespeare's kitchen one evening.

And there was Anne, with a red, angry face, shouting at the top of her voice.

“How can you do this to me? And what about the children?”

Then she saw me and stopped.

Will was sitting at the table and looked pleased to see me.

“I've told Anne,” he said quietly, “that I'm going to live in London. I want to be an actor and to write plays if I can.”

“Please…”screamed Anne, “Acting actors are dirty, wicked people. They're all thieves and criminals, they drink all day, and they never go to church.”

“Don't be stupid, Anne. You know that's not true. Listen, I'll come home when I can,but I must go to London. I can't do anything in Stratford.”

He looked at me across the room.

“Are you coming with me, Toby?”

“How soon can we start?” I said.

翻译

第三章：剧团来到镇上

威尔在11月娶了安妮·海瑟薇，随后她便搬到亨利街住了下来。
威尔的父亲很高兴大儿子成了家，但我猜威尔的母亲并不希望他这么早就结婚。
养活一大家子开销很大，而约翰·莎士比亚那阵子正深陷财务危机。
亨利街的日子过得很艰难。

第二年5月，苏珊娜出生了。
在我看来，所有婴儿长得都差不多，但威尔却对女儿的模样满意极了。
“托比，她的眼睛长得和我一模一样，”他高兴地说，“她将来一定会像埃及艳后那样美丽，像所罗门王那样聪明。”
“哦，是啊。”我应和道。
天底下的父母都会这么夸自己的孩子，我可一个字都不信。

我和威尔的妻子碰面的次数不多，我知道她并不喜欢我。
在她眼里，我就是那种会把威尔带坏、给他惹麻烦的“狐朋狗友”。
她出身于一个极其严肃的清教徒家庭，家里除了去教堂做礼拜，绝不允许唱歌跳舞。

没过多久，安妮肚子里又怀上了。
1585年2月的一天傍晚，我急匆匆地赶到亨利街去听消息。
威尔的姐姐琼开了门，接着威尔便跑下了楼梯。
“是双胞胎！”他说，“一男一女，这难道不是天大的喜事吗？”
威尔有对好朋友叫哈姆内特和朱迪思·萨德勒，他便用他们的名字来给双胞胎命名。
约翰·莎士比亚喜得长孙，乐得合不拢嘴，大家也都跟着高兴了一阵子。

只要有机会，威尔和我还是经常形影不离。
他依旧不停地读书、写作，很快我就察觉到他身上发生了一些变化。
他那时23岁，对自己的生活感到十分不满。
“斯特拉特福太小了，托比，”他说，“太慢、太安静、太无聊了。我必须离开这里。”
“是啊，可怎么离开呢？”我问，“你可是有家室的人，别忘了你还有三个年幼的孩子。”
他没有回答。

每年夏天，总会有戏班子来到小镇上巡演。
1587年，先后来了五个不同的剧团。
威尔和我总是去看戏，威尔特别喜欢和演员们搭话，听他们讲那些关于伦敦的奇闻轶事。

6月，“女王剧团”来到了斯特拉特福，我们也去看了他们的演出。
我不记得演的是什么戏了。
只记得我笑得前仰后合，而威尔却说那是出烂戏，连一句诗意的台词都没有。
“你干嘛不自己写一出戏呢？”我对他说。
“自己写戏？”他大笑起来，仿佛我说了什么天方夜谭。
我没再吭声，威尔看着我，又笑了起来。

几个月后，事情真的发生了。
一天晚上，我走进莎士比亚家的厨房。
只见安妮满脸通红，正扯着嗓子大发雷霆。
“你怎么能这么对我？你考虑过孩子们吗？”
接着她看见了我，这才停了下来。
威尔正坐在桌旁，看见我进来，似乎还挺高兴。
“我已经告诉安妮了，”他平静地说，“我要去伦敦生活。我想当个演员，如果可能的话，还要写剧本。”
“求你了……”安妮尖叫道，“演员都是些肮脏、邪恶的人。他们全都是小偷和罪犯，整天喝酒，从来不去教堂！”
“别犯傻了，安妮。你知道那不是真的。听着，只要有机会我就会回家，但我必须去伦敦。在斯特拉特福，我什么都做不成。”
他隔着房间看向我。
“你要和我一起去吗，托比？”
“我们什么时候能出发？”我说。

W:Welcome to Star Fitness Club. I’m Tina Harrison. Before you start, I’d like to offer you some tips. We all know that regular exercise is important, but few of us know how to exercise properly. I’ve seen many people make the same workout mistakes in this place. One mistake people often make is sticking to the same routine. It is not good for building up your muscles. I’d like to suggest that you change your routine every other month. What’s more, you can try different kinds of workouts, such as jogging, biking, or swimming. This can help keep your whole body in shape. Another mistake most people make is to workout intensely almost every day. You need to give your body a break, and allow time for the muscles to grow. It is not the harder the better. Two hard workout days every week is enough. If you really hate to skip a day, you can plan easy exercises on other days. However, experts’ suggestion is that you take one day off completely each week.

Chapter 2: Stratford upon Avon

It was a sunny day in October 1579 when I first met Will, just outside Stratford,near a big field of apple trees.

I saw a boy up in one of the trees.

He had red hair and looked about two years older than me.

“What are you doing up there?” I called.

“Just getting a few apples.” he said, smiling.

“Those are farmer Nash's apples,” I said, “And he'll send his dogs after you if he sees you.”

“Mr.Nash's gone to market,” the boy said, “Come on, they're good apples.”

Next minute, I was up the tree with him, but Will was wrong.

Farmer Nash wasn't at the market, and a few minutes later, we saw his angry red face above the wall on the far side of the field.

Will and I ran like the wind and only stopped when we reached the river.

We sat down to eat our apples.

Will was 15 and lived in Henley Street.

He told me his father was John Shakespeare and he had a sister, Joan, and two younger brothers, Gilbert and Richard. 

There was another sister who died, I learnt later.

And the next year, he had another brother, little Edmund, the baby of the family.

“Now what about you?” he asked.

“There's only me and my sister,” I said, “My parents are dead and we live with my mother's brother. He's a shoemaker in Ely Street, and I work for him, what do you do?”

“I go to Mr. Jenkins School in Church Street,” Will said, “every day from 7 o'clock until 5 o'clock, not Sundays, of course.”

I was sorry for him.

“Isn't it boring?” I asked.

“Sometimes,usually it's all right.” He lay back and put his hands behind his head, “But we have to read and learn all these Latin writers. I want to read modern writers and English writers like Jeffrey Chaucer, can you read?”He asked.

“Of course I can read,” I said, “I went to school.”

Will sat up and began to eat another apple.

“I want to be a writer,” he said. “A poet, I want that more than anything in the world.”

We were friends from that day until the day he died.

We met nearly every day, and he taught me a lot about books and poetry and writers.

He always had his nose in a book.

When Will left school, he worked for his father in Henley Street.

John Shakespeare was a glove maker, and he had other business too, like buying and selling sheep, but Will wasn't interested.

“What are we going to do, Toby?” he said to me one day, “We can't spend all our lives making shoes and gloves.”

“Will,”I said, “we could run away to sea and be sailors, sail round the world like Francis Drake.”

Drake sailed back to Plymouth in 1581 after his three-year journey round the world,but we were still in Stratford.

We made lots of plans, but nothing ever came of them.

Will was still reading a lot, and he was already writing poems himself.

He sometimes showed them to me, and I said they were very good.

I didn't really know anything about poetry then, but he was my friend.

Will was not happy with his writing.

“I've got so much to learn, Toby.” he said, “So much to learn.”

Poor Will, He had a lot to learn about women too.

One day in October 1582, he came to my house with a long face.

“I'll never leave Stratford,” he said.

“Why not?” I asked, “We'll get away one day, you'll see.”

“Perhaps you will,” he said, “But I'm going to be married in a few weeks time to Anne Hathaway.”

Mymouth fell open and stayed open.

“Married to Anne Hathaway? Is that the Hathaways over at Shott Toy?”

“Yes.”Will said.

I was working on some shoes on the table, and Will picked one up and looked at it. “Will, she's a fine girl?”

“Of course.”

I said uncomfortably, “But, but Will, she's 26 and you're only 18.”

“I know,” Will said, “But I've got to marry her.”

“Oh no,” I said, “You mean She's…”

“That's right,” said Will, “In about 6 month time, I'm going to be a father.”

第二章：埃文河畔斯特拉特福

1579年10月的一天，天气晴朗，我在斯特拉特福镇外、一片大苹果园附近，第一次遇见了威尔。

我看见一个男孩正爬在一棵苹果树上。他长着一头红发，看起来比我大两岁左右。

“你在上面干嘛呢？”我朝他喊道。

“摘几个苹果。”他笑着说。

“那是纳什农夫的苹果，”我说，“要是被他看见，他会放狗咬你的。”

“纳什先生去集市了，”男孩说，“快上来吧，这苹果可甜了。”

下一秒，我也爬上了树和他待在一起。不过威尔猜错了，纳什农夫根本没去集市。没过几分钟，我们就看见田地那头墙上方，露出了他那张气得通红的脸。

我和威尔撒腿就跑，像一阵风似的，直到跑到河边才停下。

我们坐下来吃苹果。

威尔那年15岁，住在亨利街。

他告诉我，他父亲叫约翰·莎士比亚，他有个姐姐叫琼，还有两个弟弟，吉尔伯特和理查德。

后来我才知道，他原本还有个姐姐，不幸夭折了。

第二年，他又添了个弟弟，小埃德蒙，是家里最小的孩子。

“那你呢？”他问我。

“家里就我和我姐姐，”我说，“我父母都不在了，我们和我母亲的哥哥住在一起。他在伊利街做鞋匠，我给他打下手。你平时都做些什么？”

“我在教堂街的詹金斯先生学校上学，”威尔说，“每天早上7点一直上到下午5点，星期天当然不上。”

我挺同情他的。

“那不是很无聊吗？”我问。

“有时候吧，不过通常还好。”他往后一躺，双手枕在脑后，“但我们非得读那些拉丁文作家的书，还得全背下来。我倒想读读现代作家，还有像杰弗里·乔叟那样的英国作家。你会看书吗？”他问。

“我当然会看书，”我说，“我也上过学的。”

威尔坐起身来，拿起另一个苹果啃了起来。

“我想当个作家，”他说，“当个诗人，这是我这辈子最渴望的事。”

从那天起，直到他离世，我们一直都是好朋友。

我们几乎天天见面，他教了我很多关于书籍、诗歌和作家的知识。他总是手不释卷。

威尔离开学校后，就在亨利街帮他父亲的忙。

他父亲约翰·莎士比亚是个手套匠，同时也做些别的买卖，比如倒卖羊群，但威尔对此毫无兴趣。

“托比，你说我们以后该怎么办？”有一天他对我说，“我们总不能一辈子都做鞋、做手套吧。”

“威尔，”我说，“我们可以逃到海上去当水手，像弗朗西斯·德雷克那样环游世界。”

1581年，德雷克在历时三年的环球航行后回到了普利茅斯，可我们却依然还在斯特拉特福。

我们制定过无数计划，但最后全都成了泡影。

威尔依然大量阅读，而且已经开始自己写诗了。

他偶尔会把诗拿给我看，我总是说写得非常好。

其实那时候我对诗歌一窍不通，但他毕竟是我的朋友。

威尔对自己的文字并不满意。

“我要学的东西太多了，托比，”他说，“实在有太多要学的了。”

可怜的威尔，他在女人这方面，同样有很多要学的。

1582年10月的一天，他拉着个长脸来到我家。

“我永远也离不开斯特拉特福了。”他说。

“为什么？”我问，“总有一天我们会离开的，你信我。”

“也许你能吧，”他说，“但我再过几周就要和安妮·海瑟薇结婚了。”

我惊得目瞪口呆，半天合不拢嘴。

“和安妮·海瑟薇结婚？是肖特里那边的那个海瑟薇家吗？”

“对。”威尔说。

我当时正在桌前做鞋，威尔顺手拿起一只鞋端详起来。“威尔，她是个好姑娘吗？”

“当然是。”

我有些局促不安地说：“可是，可是威尔，她都26岁了，你才18岁啊。”

“我知道，”威尔说，“但我必须娶她。”

“哦，天哪，”我说，“你的意思是她……”

“没错，”威尔说，“大概六个月后，我就要当爸爸了。”

W:Jack, are you going camping with your friends this weekend?

M: It depends. If it’s sunny, we’ll go.

W:The weatherman says it’s going to rain

M: In that case, we’ll go to the cinema instead.

(Text 2)

W:Excuse me, could you mind my bags for a moment? I want to buy some food at the convenience store.

M: No problem. But be quick. It was announced that my train will arrive in 10 minutes.

(Text 3)

W:Bob came out of hospital last Friday. Have you got a chance to visit him?

M:I plan to see him this Saturday.

W:Aren’t you going to the conference then?

M:No. It has been rescheduled, the next Monday.

(Text 4)

M:Sorry, Miss. We made a terrible mistake adding up the bill. Here is the ten dollars we have to return to you.

W:Oh, I didn’t notice that. It’s OK. Don’t blame the waiter. He’s been really nice.

(Text 5)

W: Do you think we should get Steve a book for the new year?

M:Books are good. But Steve wouldn’t take just any book. He has to have this particular one on geography.

(Text 6)

M:Hello, Sara.

W:Hello, David. I can’t come for dinner tonight. Sorry.

M:Oh, what happened?

W:We’ve got a new case and things get pretty crazy here in the office.

M:Well, then I’ll come to you.

W:No, no, not tonight. Let me see if I can arrange another night.

M: Sara,please. We need to talk. It’s about my job.

W:Then tell me on the phone.

M:No, it’s better if we do it in person. How about tomorrow night?

W:I’m not sure. You can give me a call tomorrow afternoon.

M:OK.

(Text 7)

W:Jim will call on us this afternoon. Do you know where he is now?

M: Er… wait. Let me see. He has sent two messages saying that he’s done with his work at the office and got a taxi and ... and he’ll arrive in twenty minutes.

W: We can’t keep him waiting outside our home. We have to hurry.

M:But it takes at least half an hour to get at the city center by bus. Look at the traffic.

W:Let’s get off. We can save at least twenty minutes by walking through the park.

M:Are you sure?

W:Yes. A hundred percent.

(Text 8)

W:Morning, Mark.

M:Morning, Clara. How was your weekend?

W:Great. I went to my grandpa’s. He invited us to pick vegetables on his farm. My daughter had a great time there. What about you?

M:Oh, I had a truly incredible experience. I dropped by a yard sale on Saturday and got several books.

W:Novels?

M: A novel and two poetry collections. As I leafed through the novel, a piece of paper fell out. It was an air ticket from 2012. The flight was from Los Angeles to Chicago and the name on the ticket was Ashley Louis.

W:Was it?

M:Yes! Ashley, my sister! In 2012, she lived in Los Angeles and her husband worked in Chicago. Both of them often flew between the two cities. I asked the seller where he got the book. He said it was bought at a second-hand bookstore in Los Angeles three years ago. Last year, he and his family moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia.

W:So, all the way across the country, your sister’s old book landed in your hands. That’s really crazy.

(Text 9)

W:Victor, you’ve been here in Indiana for six weeks now. How are you feeling?

M: I think I’ve got used to college life, going to classes, working out and hanging out with my friends. Though there’s pressure to meet deadlines, life here is never boring.

W:What’s been hard about being an Indiana basketball player?

M:Well, the training is very competitive — weightlifting and running everyday. It’s not like high school. In high school, I really didn’t have to do that. I’m just trying to get used to it. And I think I am.

W: At this point, how do you see yourself fitting into this group?

M: I think we are all different. George is from Britain. Chris and Leo are from Australia. I’m from France. And the rest are Americans. But I get along with everybody. You know, we are really starting to bond. It’s great to see how we grow each day as a team.

W:Thanks, Victor. I wish you a very happy and fruitful stay in Indiana.

(Text 10)

My name is Toby.

I'man old man, 83 this spring.

My house is right in the middle of Stratford upon Avon, and I can watch the street market from my window.

But I live very quietly now, I'm just an old man sitting in a chair.

I once knew the greatest man in England for 30 years, I was his friend.

I worked with him in the through the good times and the bad times.

He was a good friend to me.

He was also the best playwright, the best poet that ever lived in England.

Will Shakespeare was his name.

I saw all his plays in the theatre.

People loved them, they shouted, laughed and cried, ate oranges and called for more.

All kinds of people, kings, queens, princes, great lords and ladies, poor people,the boys who held the horses, everyone Will Shakespeare could please them all.

He put me in a play once.

Well,he used my name Toby.

Twelfth Night was the play I remember.

Sir Toby Belch, he was a big fat man who liked drinking too much and having a good time.

Queen Elizabeth I, watched that play on Twelfth Night, the sixth January 1601, she liked it too.

Will's dead now, of course.

He's been dead more than 30 years and no one sees his plays now.

The Puritans have closed all the theatres.

There's no singing, no dancing, no plays.

It wasn't like that in my young days.

We had a good time in London, Will and I.

I've no teeth now, and my hair has all fallen out, but I can still think and remember. I remember when Will and I were young, just boys, really.

第一章：托比的回忆

我叫托比。
我是个老头儿，今年春天就83岁了。
我的家就在埃文河畔斯特拉特福的正中心，坐在窗前，就能把街上的集市尽收眼底。
不过我现在过得很安静，只是个坐在椅子里的老头子罢了。

我曾与英格兰最伟大的人相识整整三十年，我是他的朋友。
无论顺境还是逆境，我都曾与他并肩共事。
他对我而言，是个难得的好友。
他也是有史以来英格兰最杰出的剧作家、最出色的诗人。
他的名字，叫威尔·莎士比亚。

他的每一出戏，我都曾在剧院里看过。
观众们爱极了他的戏，他们欢呼、大笑、落泪，一边吃着橘子，一边高喊着“再来一出”。
形形色色的人，国王、王后、王子、达官显贵，还有穷苦百姓，甚至连那些帮忙牵马的男孩都包括在内——无论谁，威尔·莎士比亚都能让他们尽兴。

他还曾把我写进戏里呢。
准确地说，是他用了我的名字“托比”。
我记得的那出戏叫《第十二夜》。
里面的托比·贝尔奇爵士，是个大胖子，贪杯又爱寻欢作乐。
1601年1月6日，也就是第十二夜那天，伊丽莎白一世女王也看了这出戏，她同样很喜欢。

当然，威尔现在不在了。
他去世已经三十多年了，如今也没人再看他的戏了。
清教徒们关闭了所有的剧院。
再也没有歌声，没有舞蹈，也没有戏剧演出了。

我年轻那会儿，可不是这样的。
那时候，威尔和我在伦敦度过了许多欢乐时光。
我现在牙齿掉光了，头发也全掉没了，但我的脑子还能思考，还能回忆。
我还记得我和威尔年轻的时候，说真的，那时候我们也还只是两个毛头小子呢。

W:Could you please tell me how I can get to the student dorm building?

M:Sure. Turn left when you walk out of this register office, pass the bookstore and you’ll see it.

Text 2

M: We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we, Barbara?

W: I know, Steve. There isn’t a cloud in the sky. I love this time of year.

M:Me, too. The flowers are beautiful but calling for rain though.

Text 3

M: We got any plans this weekend?

W: We might start with our vegetable garden, then the barbecue.

M:Sounds fun, but I still want to go fishing with George.

Text 4

M:Lisa, I saw Jack this morning.

W:You mean the former designer of our company? What’s he doing these days?

M: He said he’s got a new job as an art reporter.

Text 5

W: Do you often go to the student union, Andrew?

M:Pretty much. Once in a while I meet friends there and I spend a lot of time organizing activities in different clubs or associations.

Text 6

W:What do you think, Terry?

M:Well, it has one more bedroom than the last flat. And the sitting room is big.

W:But there is not enough cupboard space in the kitchen.

M:It’s cheaper than the last one we saw. And it is in a good neighborhood.

W:Well, maybe we’ll have to see if the agent has anything else to show us.

Text 7

M:Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for what you’ve shared with our listeners. Now, please tell us, do you sometimes feel worried about your daughter, now that she’s grown up?

W:Oh, I worry about her like all parents do. After she graduated from medical school, she went to volunteer medical service in Africa.

M:Wow.

W:That’s okay if communication was fine. But if there was no Internet or telephone connection, we could sometimes go two weeks without getting in touch with each other. That often worries me.

Text 8

W:Now sell yourself in a minute please.

M: I graduated from university two years ago, and have since been working in an accounting company. Apart from the knowledge and skills related to my major,I’m really good with computers. I have a large amount of experience working with big data. I think I’m well qualified for the accountant position here.

W:Good! Why did you choose this company?

M:Peterson has been my dream company all along. You value progress and focus on the quality of work more than the quantity. The flexible working hours and working from home is also attractive.

W:Uh-huh. What do you think is your biggest weakness?

M:Well, when I work, I often concentrate so much on what I’m doing that I may have a hard time dealing with things that come up unexpectedly. That maybe annoying to some people.

W:All right. Thank you very much.

Text 9

W: So Robert, I guess you must be well into your third decade as a writer. How is life treating you?

M:Fourth decade as a writer. Hmm, let me get my calculator out. Well, I guess I have been writing novels since the 1980s. So you’re right. But I have been writing all of my life. And to answer your question, life has been treating me excellently.

W:Can I ask you about your childhood? Were you a bookish child?

M: Ina strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned 9. I used to play basketball in the schoolyards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day I read the last chapter of a book,the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience, and I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read the mall, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start, as opposed to working backwards.

Text 10

M:Hello, I’m Maxim Vengarov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open Tchaikovsky Competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk.This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of thecompetition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in thecompetition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days—classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the finalstage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to yourown reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in thecompetition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see theseed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

原文

Chapter 7:Love and Death

Marius lies for a long time between life and death.

But months later, he is well again.

Cosette visits him every day, and this of course, helps him a lot.

His grandfather is happy to have his grandson back and is happy to have a new granddaughter in Cosette.

The two young people marry and live in the house of Marius's grandfather in the Le Marais.

There is a surprise for the young people.

Cosette has money, a lot of money.

Valjean tells them she has 600000 francs.

This pleases Marius's grandfather very much,

But the young people are only interested in love, not in money.

Where does it come from, this money?

Years ago,when Valjean was Monsieur Madeleine with a factory, he was a rich man.

Before he left Montroy, he took his money and the bishop's candlesticks to a secret place.

When he needs money, he goes back there.

Now this money is for Cosette, and the candlesticks stand in Valjean's house in the Rue de l'Homme-Armé.

They look very fine, and Toussaint cleans them every day.

A new life begins for everybody, but there are still secrets from the past., and Valjean wants to tell them he feels old and tired.

Death is coming for him at last, he feels.

He calls Cosette and Marius to his bedside.

“Listen,dearest Cosette, to the story of your mother…” he says.

Cosette hears the story of Fantine's sadlife.”

She learns that Valjean is not her real father.

But in her life, there is only one father, and that is Valjean, she tells him.

“Come closer,my children,” he says, “I love you dearly and I die happy. Come closer, and take my hands.”

Cosette and Marius are by his bed, holding his hands and crying.

His great hands are still, and do not move again.

He lies with his head turned up to the sky, and the light from the bishop's candlesticks falls upon his face.

第七章：爱与死亡

马吕斯在生死边缘徘徊了许久。
但在几个月后，他终于痊愈了。
珂赛特每天都来看望他，这当然对他康复起到了极大的帮助。

他的祖父很高兴孙子能平安归来，也很高兴能迎来珂赛特这个新孙女。
两个年轻人结了婚，住在马吕斯祖父位于玛黑区的宅邸里。

这对年轻人还迎来了一个惊喜。
珂赛特有一笔钱，一笔巨款。
冉阿让告诉他们，她有六十万法郎。
这让马吕斯的祖父非常高兴，
但这两个年轻人只在乎彼此的爱，对金钱毫不在意。

这笔巨款是从哪里来的呢？
多年前，当冉阿让还是拥有工厂的马德兰先生时，他非常富有。
在离开蒙特勒伊之前，他把这笔钱和主教送的银烛台藏在了一个隐秘的地方。
每当他需要钱时，就会回到那里去取。
现在，这笔钱全留给了珂赛特，而那对银烛台则摆在冉阿让位于武人街的家中。
它们看起来依然十分精美，老女仆杜桑每天都会将它们擦拭得一尘不染。

每个人的生活都翻开了新的一页，但过去的秘密依然存在。冉阿让觉得是时候把一切告诉他们了。他感到自己老了，也累了。
他感觉到，死亡终于要向他降临了。

他把珂赛特和马吕斯叫到床前。
“听着，我最亲爱的珂赛特，我要给你讲讲你母亲的故事……”他说。
珂赛特听到了芳汀那悲惨的一生。
她也得知，冉阿让并不是她的亲生父亲。
但在她的生命中，她只有一个父亲，那就是冉阿让。她这样告诉他。

“走近些，我的孩子们，”他说，“我深爱着你们，现在我可以毫无遗憾地离去了。走近些，握住我的手。”
珂赛特和马吕斯站在他的床边，紧紧握着他的手，泪流满面。
那双宽大的手渐渐安静下来，再也没有动弹。

W: Good evening, everyone. I’m Jennifer Green. Thanks for joining us. In today’s edition, Our Perfect Life. Our guest is Brock Bastian, a social psychologist from the University of Melbourne. Professor Bastian’s research focuses on pain, happiness and morality. Recently, he published a book on the role of pain in promoting pleasure. The title of the book is The Other Side of Happiness. In this book, he argues that as we seek to escape pain or sorrow, we’re weakening ourselves and may lose our adaptability to deal with pain in the future.Painful experiences are in fact vital for our development and how we face the unavoidable challenges ahead and they play a key role in helping us to develop our ability to feel truly happy. Now, let’s welcome Professor Bastian to talk about his ideas in the book.

Chapter 6: The Barricades

It is a long night at the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie.

The news is bad.

More and more soldiers are arriving in the city, but the people stay in their homes.

This time, they don't want to fight the government, only the students are still at the barricades waiting for the soldiers, bullets and death.

Then a new man arrives at the barricade, a big man in dark clothes.

Mario stares,it is Cosette's father, he is certain.

Is he a friend or an enemy, who knows?

Inside the tavern, Javert, too, waits for death.

Rebels shoot spies, he knows that.

Does he think about his life? Waiting there in the tavern? Is the law always right? Can a criminal change and be a good man?Does Javert ask these questions, who knows?

Daylight comes and the shooting begins.

“Rat ta tat, rat ta tat, rat ta tat…”, on the barricade, noise and shouting, cries and screams.

Valjean saves Jean Enjolras's life.

Two men die,Valjean carries the bodies into the tavern, sees Javert and Javert sees him.

Then the shooting stops.

The Rebelsneed more bullets, and Gavroche runs out to the front of the barricade.

“Come back, Gavroche!”, he doesn't listen and start singing.

There are dead soldiers lying in the street, Gavroche takes the bullets from their bags and puts them into his bag.

He is small and quick, and his bag is nearly full before the soldiers start shooting at him.

“Come back, Gavroche!”, he sings louder, but the fifth bullet hits him and he falls down in the street.

He moves once, then falls back.

Gavroche is dead.

A child of the Paris streets, his singing now stopped forever,just another dead body in the rebellion.

Smoke from the guns is everywhere, it is hard to see anything, but Marius runs out into the street, picks Gavroche up and runs back.

He puts the small body on a table in the tavern and cries.

It is going to be a long day.

Behind the barricade, Enjolras talked to the men.

“They're going to attack again soon, 60 soldiers to every one of us. Mariusand I are your two leaders, Gavroche brought us bullets, so let's use them well and fight to the end.”

 “Let's kill the spy now.” said one of the men.

Then Valjean spoke, “give him to me. I can do that for you. I'd like to shoot him.”

Enjolras looked at him, “You saved my life, friend. You can have the spy.”

Valjean took Javert out of the tavern to a little street behind.

He took out a knife.

“Oh, a knife,” said Javert, “of course, a criminal's way to kill,so kill me and be quick.”

Valjean said nothing.

He cut the ropes around Javert's arms and legs, then stood up and said “You're free to go.”

Javert stared,he could not understand this.

“I live in the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. The next time we meet, you can arrest me. Now, go.”

Javert turned and walked away.

Valjean fired his gun into the air, then went back to the barricade.

“It's done.”he told Enjolras.

Now the second attack began.

The government had more men, more guns, more bullets, and one by one the students began to die.

Marius was on top of the barricade.

He was one of the last men still alive, but then 1, 2 bullets hit him, and he fell.

Two great hands at once, picked him up.

Cosette whispered Marius, and then he went into that dark night.

Jean Valjean knew Paris well, knew its little back streets, its secret places.

He used them now with the dead or dying Marius in his arms.

He ran through the back street, watching at every corner.

Night came, and the sky was full of the smoke from the guns.

Valjean stopped to rest, in Marius's pocket, he found a piece of paper, “Take my body to my grandfather's house.”

The address was in the Le Marais, not far away.

Valjean began to pick up Marius's body again, and a hand came down hard on his shoulder.

Valjean turned, Javert stood behind him.

“What are you doing here,” he said, “who is this man?”

Valjean stood up.

“Inspector Javert,” he said, “I told you I'm tired of running and hiding. You can arrest me, put me back in prison. I ask just one thing, help me to take this young man home, that is all.”

“He's dead,”said Javert.

“No, not yet,he lives in the Le Marais with his grandfather. Look…”

He showed Javertthe piece of paper.

Javert read the address, then called to a carriage along the street.

They put Marius's body on the back seat and sat side by side on the front seat.

At the house of Marius's grandfather, a servant opened the door.

She gave a little scream when she saw Marius in Valjean's arms.

“It's Monsieur Marius, take the boy in,” said Javert, “I'm waiting for you here at the door.”

His voice was different.

Uncertain,Valjean looked at him, then carried Marius's body into the house.

“Call a doctor quickly!” he said to the servants, “He was out the barricade and has two bullets still in him.”

Then he came back downstairs and out into the street.

Javert was gone.

Valjean looked up and down the street, nothing, nobody.

Down by the River Seine, near the Place du Chatelet, Javert stoodon the bridge, looking down into the water.

“What must I do?” he thought, but for the first time in his life he had no answer.

Valjean's words at the barricade went through his head again and again,“You're free to go, free to go, free to go.”

“I can do one of two things,”Javert said to the river, “I can arrest him or I cannot arrest him and say you are free to go. But the law is the law, so I must arrest him. But he gave me my life, so I must give him his life. But the law is the law.”

And a voice in Javert's head said, “You worked for the law all your life, but Jean Valjean is a better man than you are.”

For a long time, Javert stared down at the river, but the river gave him no answer to his question.

Then he took off his hat and put it carefully on the ground.

A moment later, he stood high on the bridge, then fell down into the dark river.

There was a splash,and that was all.

第六章：街垒

在尚夫雷里街的街垒，这是一个漫长的夜晚。
局势很不妙。
越来越多的士兵正在涌入这座城市，但普通百姓都躲在家里不敢出来。
这一次，他们不想再反抗政府了。只有那些学生们依然坚守在街垒，等待着士兵、子弹和死亡。
这时，街垒上来了一个陌生人，一个穿着深色衣服的高大男人。
马吕斯死死盯着他，他确信那是珂赛特的父亲。
他究竟是敌是友，谁又知道呢？
在酒馆里，沙威也在等待着死亡。
他知道，起义者们是会枪毙密探的。
在酒馆里苦等的时候，他有没有思考过自己的人生？法律永远都是绝对正确的吗？一个罪犯真的能改邪归正，成为一个好人吗？沙威会问自己这些问题吗？谁又知道呢？
天亮了，枪声随之响起。
“哒哒哒，哒哒哒，哒哒哒……”街垒上充斥着巨大的噪音、呼喊声和惨叫声。
冉阿让救了安灼拉的命。
两名起义者牺牲了，冉阿让把他们的遗体抬进酒馆，他看见了沙威，沙威也看见了他。
随后，枪声短暂地停歇了。
起义者们需要更多的子弹，加夫罗什冲到了街垒的最前面。
“回来，加夫罗什！”但他根本不听，反而唱起了歌。
街上有几具士兵的尸体，加夫罗什从他们的弹药袋里掏出子弹，装进自己的口袋里。
他身形娇小，动作敏捷，在士兵们开始向他开枪之前，他的口袋几乎已经装满了。
“回来，加夫罗什！”他唱得更大声了，但第五颗子弹击中了他，他倒在了街上。
他挣扎着动了一下，然后重重地倒了下去。
加夫罗什死了。
这个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子，他的歌声永远地停息了，他成了这场反叛中又一具冰冷的尸体。
到处弥漫着枪炮的硝烟，什么都看不清。但马吕斯还是冲到了街上，抱起加夫罗什，又跑了回来。
他把那小小的身躯放在酒馆的桌子上，痛哭失声。
这将是漫长的一天。
在街垒后方，安灼拉对众人说道：
“他们很快又会发起进攻。敌军人数是我们的六十倍。马吕斯和我是你们的领袖，加夫罗什为我们弄来了子弹，让我们好好利用它们，战斗到最后一刻。”
“现在就把那个密探毙了吧！”其中一个人喊道。
这时，冉阿让开口了：“把他交给我吧。我来替你们解决，我想亲自枪毙他。”
安灼拉看着他：“朋友，你救过我的命。你可以处置这个密探。”
冉阿让把沙威从酒馆里带出来，走到后面的一条小巷。
他掏出了一把刀。
“哦，用刀啊，”沙威说，“当然，这是罪犯杀人的方式。那就杀了我吧，快点。”
冉阿让一言不发。
他割断了绑在沙威手脚上的绳子，然后站起身说：“你自由了，走吧。”
沙威死死盯着他，完全无法理解这一切。
“我住在武人街7号。下次我们再相遇，你可以逮捕我。现在，走吧。”
沙威转过身，走了。
冉阿让朝空中开了一枪，然后回到了街垒。
“解决了。”他对安灼拉说。
现在，第二次进攻开始了。
政府军拥有更多的人、更多的枪和更多的子弹，学生们开始一个接一个地倒下。
马吕斯站在街垒的最顶端。
他是最后几个还活着的战士之一，但紧接着，一两颗子弹击中了他，他摔了下去。
一双宽大的手瞬间将他接住。
“珂赛特……”马吕斯喃喃低语，随后便陷入了无尽的黑暗。
冉阿让对巴黎了如指掌，熟悉每一条幽暗的后巷和隐秘的角落。
此刻，他正抱着垂死的马吕斯，在这些小巷中穿梭。
他背着马吕斯在暗巷中狂奔，在每个拐角处都警惕地观察着。
夜幕降临，天空中弥漫着火药的浓烟。
冉阿让停下来稍作休息，他在马吕斯的口袋里摸到了一张纸条：“把我的遗体送到我祖父家。”
地址在玛黑区，离这里不远。
冉阿让重新背起马吕斯，突然，一只大手重重地拍在了他的肩膀上。
冉阿让猛地回过头，沙威就站在他身后。
“你在这里干什么？”沙威问，“这个人是谁？”
冉阿让站起身。
“沙威警长，”他说，“我告诉过你，我已经厌倦了东躲西藏。你可以逮捕我，把我重新关进监狱。但我只有一个请求：帮我把这个年轻人送回家，仅此而已。”
“他已经死了。”沙威说。
“不，还没死。他和祖父住在玛黑区。你看……”
他把那张纸条拿给沙威看。
沙威看了看地址，然后向街上叫来了一辆马车。
他们把马吕斯放在马车后座上，两人并肩坐在前排。
在马吕斯祖父的家门前，一个女仆打开了门。
当她看到马吕斯躺在冉阿让的怀里时，忍不住发出一声尖叫。
“是马吕斯少爷，快把少爷抬进去，”沙威说，“我就在门口等你。”
他的声音听起来有些异样。
冉阿让疑惑地看了他一眼，然后抱着马吕斯走进了屋子。
“快叫医生！”他对仆人们说，“他刚从街垒上下来，体内还留着两颗子弹。”
随后，他走下楼，回到了街上。
沙威已经不见了。
冉阿让环顾街道的两头，什么也没有，什么人也没有。
在塞纳河畔、沙特雷广场附近，沙威正站在桥上，低头凝视着脚下的河水。
“我该怎么办？”他想，但这是他一生中第一次找不到答案。
冉阿让在街垒上说的话在他脑海中一遍又一遍地回荡：“你自由了，走吧，自由了，走吧。”
“我只能做两件事中的一件，”沙威对着河水喃喃自语，“要么逮捕他，要么不逮捕他，告诉他‘你自由了’。但法律就是法律，所以我必须逮捕他。但他给了我一条命，所以我必须还他一条命。可是，法律就是法律啊。”
沙威的脑海中有一个声音在说：“你一生都在为法律效劳，但冉阿让比你更是一个高尚的人。”
沙威久久地凝视着脚下的河水，但河水并没有给他任何答案。
然后，他摘下帽子，小心翼翼地放在地上。
片刻之后，他站在高高的桥栏上，纵身跃入了黑暗的河水中。
只听“扑通”一声水响，一切便归于死寂。

M:Laura, what’s in the mailbox?

W: It’s a thank-you note from our neighbor. They thank us for visiting them last week when the baby was born. They also invite us to have dinner next Friday.

M:Are they back home now?

W:Should be.

M:Yeah, the same as Clara. We’ve already had bags of toys she’s no longer playing with. So this year, we didn’t buy her material things. We gave her an experience gift.

W:What’s that?

M: A city pass, with which she can visit 12 different attractions, including the National History Museum, the Science Museum, the zoo and more.

M:Helen, busy doing anything?

W:Oh, Kevin. I’m preparing a presentation for the city library. It’s about a girl named Tracy Woods.

M:What’s special about her?

W: It was an amazing story. She brought specially trained dogs to special education schools and helped children to build confidence. She believes that dogs can help children in ways we can’t. Dogs don’t judge and they don’t care who you are or what you look like.

M:But putting dogs into a school? Aren’t they going to mess up the school?

W:Don’t worry. All the dogs are assessed and trained properly. There are now forty dogs working with children aged from six to eighteen.

M: I hope the children love them.

W: Of course they do. I’ve got some pictures. I’ll show them at my presentation tomorrow morning.

M: I notice you’ve tried many different kinds of things: film, TV, and even theater.

W:Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia.Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.

Chapter 5: Love and Rebellion

So what is Marius's idea?

It is this.

He wants to marry Cosette, but he has no money, his grandfather has money.

He must ask his grandfather, but his grandfather is an old man, and old men's ideas do not change easily.

He shouts at Marius, Marius shouts back, and that is the end of that.

The next evening, he goes as usual to the Rue Plume.

There is nobody in the garden.

The house is dark, the windows are closed, Cosette and her father are gone.

Marius cannot live without Cosette.

He wants to die, but Gavroche tells him that his friends need him.

It is June 1832, and students and workers are running through the streets of Paris, bringing rebellion to the city and everyone must fight the government.

Marius is soon at the barricades with a gun in his hand.

He is happy, death can come at any moment with a bullet from a soldier's gun.

These are dangerous times.

Jean Valjean sees Inspector Javert in a street near the Rue Plume.

What is he doing there? Are the police watching his house?

Valjean does not wait the same night, he and Cosette leave Rue Plume.

They moved to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé and begin to get ready for England.

How can love find a way in these troubled times?

When the soldiers attacked in front of the Arsenal building, the people turned and ran this way and that way through the streets of the city.

Marius and his friends came to the Rue de la Chanvrerie, and they built their barricade there.

It was, 2 meters high, made of wood and stone.

Behind their barricade, the rebels waited for the soldiers.

Night came,but nothing happened.

Enjolras was the leader of the students, he called Gavroche to him.

“You're small,”he said, “nobody sees you. Go and have a look round the city, and then bring us any news.”

Just after midnight, Gavroche was back.

“The soldiers aren't moving,” he said, “but there are a lot of them.”

He stopped suddenly and whispered, “Hey, who's that? That tall man over there?”

Enjolras and Marius turned to look.

“I don't know him.” said Marius.

“People are coming and going all night,” said Enjolras, “Why?Gavroche, do you know him?”

“Yes,”whispered Gavroche, “he's not one of us, he's a spy, a police spy, name of Javert. He stopped me once down by the river, put me in prison all night.”

“Are you certain about this, Gavroche?” said Marius.

“I'm certain right,”said Gavroche “he's a spy.”

The rebels did not like spies.

Four of Enjolras's men jumped on Javert, pulled him into the tavern behind the barricade, and tied him to the wall.

“Louise, shoot him now?” asked one of the men.

“Later?” said Enjolras, “he can wait.”

They went back outside to the barricade, and listened for the sound of soldiers.

Gavroche found Marius at the far end of the barricade.

“Marius,” he whispered, “on my way back here, I came past your rooms and went in.”

“Why?”whispered Marius.

“I was hungry,” said Gavroche, “the woman in your house is nice.She always gives me something to eat. But she had a letter for you. She gave it to me. It came two days ago, she said.”

“A letter, a letter from whom?”

Suddenly,there was hope in Marius's heart.

“Quick, give it to me.”

The letter was from Cosette.

“My dearest father says we must leave at once. We go tonight to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé, and soon to England. Oh,my dear, how can I live without you? Cosette.”

Marius read this letter four times and then kissed it.

She still loved him.

He must write back to her and say his last goodbye.

There was still no sound of soldiers in the street.

He found some paper and a pencil.

“Cosette dearest, I came to the Rue Plume, but you were gone already. We cannot marry. I went to my grandfather, and he said no. I have no money, and you have no money. I love you, I can never forget you. The fighting begins here very soon. When I am dead, don't be sad. Our love was beautiful. Marius.”

He called to Gavroche,“I want you to take this letter to the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. Can you do that for me?”

“Yes, but, but now…” said Gavroche, “I am staying here for the fighting, I can shoot too, you know?”

“Gavroche,you're just a boy, we don't want you to die in the fighting, stay away from the shooting. And this letter is very important to me. It must go now. I want you to put it into Cosette's hands. Please, Gavroche.”

“Oh, very well.”said Gavroche.

He took the letter, put it inside his shirt, and ran off into the dark.

When Valjeanand Cosette left the house in Rue Plumet, Cosette was very sad.

Valjean saw this, but he said nothing.

In the Rue de l'Homme-Armé, Cosette stayed in her bedroom, Toussaint took her meals up to her in the night.

Valjean could not sleep.

The city was quiet, but for how long?

He went outside the house and stood in the street, listening.

There were voices in the next street, and then he heard singing, a boy singing.

Gavroche came up the street, looking at the house numbers.

He saw Valjean and stopped.

“Well, young man, watch the news,” said Valjean,

“The news is now I'm hungry.” said Gavroche.

Valjean put his hand in his pocket and found a five-franc piece.

Gavroche stared at it.

He didn't see many five-franc pieces, and he was very pleased to see this one.

He put it in his pocket.

“You're all right,” he said, “Do you live in this street? Do you know number 7?”

“What do you want with number 7?” said Valjean.

“Letter for someone.” said Gavroche.

“A woman?”Valjean stared at him.

He felt cold.

“A woman.”

“Cosette”, he remembered once, the young man in the Luxembourg, he tried to smile.

“That's the letter for Cosette,” he said, “I'm waiting for it.”

“Yes, that's her. Well, here you are.” said Gavroche, “It comes from the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie. I'm going back there now. Goodnight, monsieur.”

Jean Valjean went back into the house with Marius's letter.

He read it quickly.

“I love you, I can never forget you…”

So Cosette, his dear, dear daughter, was in love, she was his world.

Without her, his life was nothing, he could not even think about it.

“When I am dead, don't be sad”, those words gave him hope.

So the young man was one of the rebels at the barricade.

“When the soldiers start shooting,” he thought, “that's the end of all the rebels. I do nothing, I say nothing, I keep this letter and poof, nothing changes in our lives.”

But Valjean did not feel easy, he remembered all their happy years as father and daughter.

And he saw again Cosette's sad eyes, when they left the Rue Plumet.

How could he take her away to England?

He turned and went out of the room.

A little later, he left the house wearing dark clothes and carrying a gun, and walked away down the street.

第五章：爱与反叛

那么，马吕斯的计划究竟是什么呢？
其实很简单。
他想娶珂赛特，但他身无分文，而他的祖父却很有钱。
他必须去求祖父，但祖父是个老人，而老人的观念是很难改变的。
祖父冲他大吼，马吕斯也毫不退让地顶嘴，结果可想而知，谈话不欢而散。

第二天傍晚，他像往常一样来到普吕梅街。
花园里空无一人。
整栋房子漆黑一片，窗户紧闭，珂赛特和她父亲已经搬走了。
没有珂赛特，马吕斯根本活不下去。
他万念俱灰，只想一死了之，但加夫罗什告诉他，他的朋友们需要他。

那是1832年6月，学生和工人们涌上巴黎的街头，将反叛的火种播撒到整座城市，所有人都起来反抗政府。
很快，马吕斯便手持火枪，站在了街垒之后。
他感到一种悲壮的决绝，因为士兵的子弹随时都可能夺走他的生命。
这是一个动荡危险的时代。

冉阿让在普吕梅街附近的一条街上看见了沙威警长。
他在那儿干什么？警察是不是在监视他的住处？
冉阿让没有等到天亮，当晚便带着珂赛特离开了普吕梅街。
他们搬到了武人街7号，并开始为前往英国做准备。
在这样的乱世之中，爱情该何去何从？

当士兵们在兵工厂大楼前发起进攻时，人群四散奔逃，在城市的街巷中四处乱窜。
马吕斯和他的朋友们来到了尚夫雷里街，在那里筑起了一座街垒。
街垒有两米多高，由木头和石头堆砌而成。
在街垒后方，起义者们严阵以待，等待着士兵的到来。
夜幕降临，但什么也没有发生。

安灼拉是学生们的领袖，他把加夫罗什叫到身边。
“你个子小，”他说，“没人会注意到你。去城里侦察一下，然后把消息带回来。”
刚过午夜，加夫罗什就回来了。
“士兵们还没行动，”他说，“但人非常多。”
他突然停下脚步，压低声音说：“嘿，那是谁？那边那个高个子男人？”
安灼拉和马吕斯转头望去。
“我不认识他。”马吕斯说。
“整晚都有人在街垒周围走来走去，”安灼拉说，“怎么回事？加夫罗什，你认识他吗？”
“认识，”加夫罗什悄声说，“他不是我们的人，是个密探，警察的密探，名叫沙威。他有一次在河边把我拦住，把我关了一整夜。”
“你确定吗，加夫罗什？”马吕斯问。
“我百分之百确定，”加夫罗什说，“他就是个密探。”
起义者们最痛恨密探。
安灼拉手下的四个人猛扑向沙威，把他拽进街垒后面的酒馆，牢牢地绑在墙上。
“路易，现在就把他毙了吗？”其中一个人问。
“晚点再说，”安灼拉说，“他可以先留着。”
他们回到街垒外，继续倾听是否有士兵逼近的脚步声。

加夫罗什在街垒的尽头找到了马吕斯。
“马吕斯，”他低声说，“我回来的路上，经过你的住处，就顺便进去了一趟。”
“去干什么？”马吕斯问。
“我饿了，”加夫罗什说，“你屋里的那个女人人挺好的，总是给我点吃的。不过她有一封给你的信。她说那是两天前到的，就交给了我。”
“一封信？谁的信？”
马吕斯的心里突然燃起了一丝希望。
“快，给我！”
那是珂赛特写来的信。
“我最亲爱的父亲说我们必须立刻离开。我们今晚就要搬到武人街7号，很快就会去英国。哦，亲爱的，没有你我该怎么活？珂赛特。”
马吕斯把信读了四遍，然后深深地吻了它。
她依然爱着他。
他必须给她写封回信，作最后的道别。

街上依然没有士兵的动静。
他找来纸笔。
“我最亲爱的珂赛特：我去了普吕梅街，但你们已经走了。我们无法结婚了。我去求了祖父，但他拒绝了。我没有钱，你也没有。我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记。这里的战斗马上就要打响了。当我死后，请不要悲伤。我们的爱是美好的。马吕斯。”
他叫来加夫罗什：“我想让你把这封信送到武人街。你能帮我这个忙吗？”
“能是能，但现在……”加夫罗什说，“我要留在这里参加战斗，你知道吗，我也能开枪的？”
“加夫罗什，你只是个孩子，我们不想让你死在战场上，离枪林弹雨远点。而且这封信对我来说至关重要。它必须立刻送出。我要你亲手交到珂赛特手里。求你了，加夫罗什。”
“哦，那好吧。”加夫罗什说。
他接过信，把它塞进衬衫里，一头扎进了黑夜中。

当冉阿让和珂赛特离开普吕梅街的住处时，珂赛特伤心欲绝。
冉阿让看在眼里，却什么也没说。
在武人街的住处，珂赛特把自己关在卧室里，夜里由老女仆杜桑把饭菜端上去给她。
冉阿让无法入睡。
城市虽然安静，但这平静又能维持多久呢？
他走出屋子，站在街上侧耳倾听。
邻街传来了人声，接着他又听到了歌声，是一个男孩在唱歌。
加夫罗什顺着街道走来，一边走一边看着门牌号。
他看见了冉阿让，便停了下来。
“小伙子，有什么消息吗？”冉阿让问。
“现在的消息就是：我饿了。”加夫罗什回答。
冉阿让把手伸进口袋，摸出一枚五法郎的硬币。
加夫罗什盯着那枚硬币。
他很少能见到五法郎的硬币，看到它让他非常高兴。
他把硬币装进口袋。
“你人不错，”他说，“你住在这条街上吗？你知道7号在哪儿吗？”
“你找7号干什么？”冉阿让问。
“给里面的人送信。”加夫罗什说。
“是给一位女士的吗？”冉阿让紧紧盯着他。
他感到一阵寒意。
“是给一位女士的。”
“珂赛特……”他想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，勉强挤出一丝微笑。
“那是给珂赛特的信，”他说，“我在等这封信。”
“对，就是给她的。喏，给你。”加夫罗什说，“信是从尚夫雷里街的街垒送来的。我现在得回去了。晚安，先生。”

冉阿让拿着马吕斯的信回到了屋里。
他飞快地看了一遍。
“我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记……”
原来，他亲爱的女儿恋爱了。她就是他的一切。
如果没有她，他的生命将毫无意义，他甚至不敢去想那种可能。
“当我死后，请不要悲伤”，这句话给了他一丝希望。
原来，那个年轻人就是街垒里的起义者之一。
“一旦士兵们开火，”他想，“那些起义者就全完了。我什么都不做，什么都不说，只要把这封信藏起来，然后‘噗’的一下，我们俩的生活就不会有任何改变。”
但冉阿让的心里并不踏实。他回想起了他们作为父女相伴的那些快乐岁月。
他又看到了离开普吕梅街时，珂赛特那双悲伤的眼睛。
他怎么能就这样把她强行带到英国去呢？
他转过身，走出了房间。

M: Jenny, you can just drop me here.
W: But we are two streets away from the office.
M: It's fine. I had a big breakfast, and feel like a bit of walk.

W: Hello, George. You look tired. Didn't sleep well last night?
M: No, not at all. I had to work flat out to meet the project deadline. Now I'm really feeling a bit run-down.

Text 3
W: John, can't we go someplace and talk? It's so noisy in here.
M: Well, there is a small park across the street. It's usually not crowded at this time of day.

W: We've got to do something about the neighbor's dog.
M: Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?
W: The flower garden, the garbage can and yesterday he started digging holes in the yard.

M: Hello, we have a reservation in the name of Mr. Johns. Is there any table by the window?
W: Sorry, we've got this corner table for you. It's quiet here, not close to the door.

W: Dave, don't forget we are invited out to dinner tonight.
M: Oh yeah. I almost forgot. What time?
W: 7:30. We should leave the house by 6:30. You know how bad the traffic is that time of night.
M: It's informal, isn't it?

Text 7
M: We need to decide exactly when we're going to move. Any suggestions?
W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month.We could move all the office equipment at a weekend—do everything at once.
M: I think a weekend's too short. Maybe we should do it department by department.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, each week a different department will move. That way, there will always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on.
W: Hmm, that's a good idea.

Text 8
W: So, Mr. Peter Sayles, I've been curious to know what were the early connections in your life that led you into the art field.
M: My grandfather was an art dealer in Munich. They had a great museum in Munich. He took me to the museum. And I responded very strongly to what I saw on the walls there. I learned about art from him. I learned about looking at art from him. I think that's what really got me started. Then, many years later, after I got out of the army, I went to study art history at the University of Chicago.
W: Tell us more about your experiences of looking at art with your grandfather.
M: Well, we looked at the famous paintings by the great artists like Rembrandt,Botticelli and Albrecht Dürer. Rubens' paintings were my favorites. Yes, I remember these things. This was when I was between 10 and 15. When I was 14, I was so anxious to see more art that a friend of mine and I bicycled across the Alps to see Venice. That was a big adventure.

Text 9
W: Hi, John! Haven't seen you for ages!
M: Hi, Susan! Fancy meeting you here on the train!
W: How is your college life?
M: What can I say? I've survived.
W: What happened?
M: Well, early last March I started doing a part-time job in a law firm. A few weeks before I had started writing my term paper. I thought I could finish it by August.
W: That was a pretty good idea trying to have some work experience.
M: For the first three weeks, you know, I tried. I got up early and worked for an hour on my paper before going to work. But work was so fun, I met tons of new people and soon I couldn't find even a minute for my paper. So, I had to quit my part-time job and finally finished my paper in October.
W: Well, it's never too late to mend. It's kind of hard to find a balance between what you have to do and what you want to do.
M: Yeah, it's really important for me to balance study and work. And I think I should learn to exercise some self-control.

Text 10
Being an athlete is very fun, painful and exciting. Every time I come to the track, I feel like I'm out of this place. This is Botswana National Stadium.This is where I train. When I saw Usa in Bolt running in 2012 London Olympics, I was amazed. Just watching him run got me motivated. I quit being a chess player and started to run. I went to the 2016 Olympics, and went to the finals at the age of 18. And, wow, I finished fifth. It was a dream come true to me, but I still wanted more. The training is super hard, but the hardest part for me is that I got an injury—an injury which may take me out for years. For a period of time, as a young athlete, I didn't know what to do. I lost focus. But now, I'm back on the track. I really want to be there at the Olympics, and do what I did before, do much, much greater. I don't care about the gold. I don't care about the silver. I want to do my best. You know, take everything and show it to the world.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

Chapter 4: Marius

Nine years pass, Valjean and Cosette are living in the Rue Plumet in Paris,in a house with a big garden.

It is a quiet street and nobody comes there.

This pleases Valjean, because he is still afraid of Inspector Javert.

Cosette is now a young woman.

She is tall with golden brown hair.

She is beautiful, but there are many beautiful faces in the world.

The wonderful thing about Cosette's face is her smile, a slow warm gentle smile like sunlight after rain.

And now, we must meet Marius and his young friend Gavroche.

Marius is a student, a young man with many ideas but no money.

Paris is full of young men like this.

Marius has a grandfather, his father is dead,

But he does not talk to him, their political ideas are very different.

At 17, he leaves home with 30 francs, his watch and a small bag of clothes.

Now five years older, he lives with other students, and they talk all night about books and ideas, politics and government, life and death.

All students are like this.

They live for ideas and do a little work here and there when they need to.

Gavroche is a child of the Paris streets.

He is 11 or 12 years old, and wears a man's trousers and a woman's shirt.

A kind woman gave these clothes to him.

He lives on the streets, knows everybody,goes everywhere, and enjoys life.

Well, why not? He knows no other life, only this one.

Marius loved walking through the streets and gardens of Paris, and he often walked in the Luxembourg Garden.

One day in the garden, he saw a man with a young girl.

The man was about 60, and the girl, Marius thought, was about 17.

He did not see her eyes, but he saw her golden-brown hair and her slow gentle smile.

He walked past them once and did not look back, but he came to the Luxembourg the next day, and the day after that.

And for the next five days, the man and the girl were always there.

He could not stop looking at the girl.

He wanted very much to see that smile, smile again.

On the seventh day, the girl turned her head and looked at Marius.

She looked into his eyes across the garden, and that look went like a bullet from a gun into Marius's heart.

There were no words, but at once Marius knew, and the girl knew this was love.

Life stopped for Marius then.

He spent hours in the Luxembourg.

And every time he saw her, the sun came out and all the birds in the garden began singing.

But the man began to look at Marius too, and his face was not friendly.

Marius was afraid and he went to Gavroche.

“Gavroche, please, you must help me.”

“Why? What's the matter? Monsieur Marius.”

“There's a girl, Gavroche. She walks in the Luxembourg every day. I want you to follow her home, and tell me the address.”

“Why don't you follow her? I am busy.” said Gavroche.

“I'm afraid to,” said Marius, “her father,grandfather, I don't know, is watching me. He doesn't like me.”

“Why is this important? Monsieur Marius.” Gavroche said.

“He had a big smile on his face. Because I'min love,” shouted Marius, “Please, Gavroche, do it.”

Gavroche ran away laughing.

Two days later, he came to Marius's rooms,Rue plume.

He said, “House at the end of the street,hard to find, you need to look for it.”

Spring came and Cosette began to go out into the garden at Rue Plume.

She was usually alone.

Her old servant Toussaint was always in the kitchen, and Father Jean Valjean was in his room reading.

Cosette was sad.

She remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden, but Father no longer wanted to go there.

But that evening, in the Rue Plume Garden something very wonderful happened.

She heard a voice, a man's voice.

She looked round and it was him.

“I'm so sorry,” he said, “please don't be afraid. I just wanted to… You remember the Luxembourg Garden? I saw you therefor the first time, I can't forget you day and night, I think about you. Please don't be afraid, you see, I love you. It just happened to me, I can't stop it. Don't be afraid, please.”

Cosette listened to this wonderful river of words and then held out her hand to him.

He took her hand, and she pulled it to her and put it against her heart.

“Then, you love me?”he said.

“Of course, you know that.”

A kiss, no words.

They did not need words.

Later words came, the story of his life, the story of her life, everything between lovers, everything is interesting.

When they were done with words,Cosette put her head on Marius's shoulder and asked, “what is your name?”

“My name is Marius, and yours?”

“Cosette.”

Every evening, they met secretly in the garden at Rue Plume.

A kiss, a gentle laugh, whispered words of love.

It was the spring and summer of their young lives.

But around them, outside their garden, there was change.

There were angry people, there were police and soldiers on the streets of Paris.

And one day, Jean Valjean said to Cosette, “My dearest child, we live in dangerous times. We must leave France and go to England.”

Cosette looked at him with frightened eyes.

“Must we go, father?” She said.

Valjean watched her face.

“We must,” he said, “Get ready to leave very soon.”

There was a change in Cosette.

Valjean remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden and he looked at Cosette's beautiful young face.

He was afraid, afraid of losing his dear daughter.

That evening in the Rue Plume Garden, there were many unhappy tears.

“But you must follow us to England,” cried Cosette.

“How can I do that?” cried Marius, “I have no money, no passport. Even England to me is like the moon.”

They held hands in the moonlight.

“Listen, I have an idea,” Marius said slowly,“Wait two days, perhaps.”

“Two days?” cried Cosette, “How can I live two days without you?”

第四章：马吕斯

九年过去了，冉阿让和珂赛特住在巴黎的普吕梅街，那是一栋带大花园的房子。
这是一条安静的街道，鲜有人至。
这让冉阿让感到安心，因为他依然对沙威警长心存畏惧。
如今的珂赛特已经长成了一个年轻女子。
她身材高挑，留着一头金棕色的头发。
她很美，但这世上美丽的容颜并不少见。
珂赛特脸上最动人的，是她的微笑——那是一种缓慢、温暖、轻柔的微笑，宛如雨后初晴的阳光。
现在，我们该认识一下马吕斯和他的年轻朋友加夫罗什了。
马吕斯是个学生，一个满脑子想法却身无分文的年轻人。
巴黎满大街都是这样的年轻人。
马吕斯有个祖父，他的父亲已经去世了。
但他和祖父互不说话，因为他们的政治理念截然不同。
十七岁那年，他带着30法郎、一块怀表和一小包衣服离家出走。
如今五年过去了，他和一群学生住在一起，他们整夜整夜地谈论书籍与思想、政治与政府、生与死。
所有的学生都是这样。
他们为理想而活，只在缺钱的时候才偶尔去打点零工。
加夫罗什是个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子。
他十一二岁，穿着一条男人的裤子和一件女人的衬衫。
这是一位好心的女士给他的衣服。
他风餐露宿，认识所有人，哪儿都敢去，而且非常享受这样的生活。
是啊，为什么不呢？除了这种生活，他什么也没经历过。
马吕斯喜欢漫步在巴黎的街道和花园里，他经常去卢森堡公园散步。
有一天在公园里，他看见一个男人带着一个小姑娘。
那个男人大概六十岁，马吕斯心想，那女孩大概十七岁。
他没看清她的眼睛，但他看到了她金棕色的头发和那缓慢轻柔的微笑。
他从他们身边走过，没有回头。但第二天、第三天，他又来到了卢森堡公园。
在接下来的五天里，那个男人和女孩总是出现在那里。
他无法控制自己的目光，总是忍不住看向那个女孩。
他多么渴望能再次看到那个微笑。
到了第七天，女孩转过头，看向了马吕斯。
她隔着花园望向他的眼睛，那目光就像子弹一样，直击马吕斯的心脏。
没有只言片语，但就在那一瞬间，马吕斯明白了，女孩也明白了——这就是爱情。
那一刻，马吕斯的世界仿佛静止了。
他在卢森堡公园里度过了好几个小时。
每一次看到她，他都觉得阳光洒满了大地，花园里的鸟儿都在为他歌唱。
但是，那个男人也开始注意到了马吕斯，而且眼神并不友善。
马吕斯害怕了，他去找加夫罗什。
“加夫罗什，求求你，你必须帮帮我。”
“怎么了？出什么事了，马吕斯先生？”
“有个女孩，加夫罗什。她每天都去卢森堡公园散步。我想让你跟着她回家，告诉我她的地址。”
“你自己怎么不跟着？我很忙的。”加夫罗什说。
“我不敢，”马吕斯说，“她父亲，或者祖父，我搞不清楚，一直在盯着我。他不喜欢我。”
“这有什么关系吗，马吕斯先生？”加夫罗什说。
“因为我恋爱了啊！”马吕斯大喊道，“求你了，加夫罗什，帮帮我吧。”
加夫罗什大笑着跑开了。
两天后，他来到了马吕斯在普吕梅街的住处。
他说：“街道尽头的那栋房子，很难找，你得仔细留意。”
春天来了，珂赛特开始走到普吕梅街的花园里。
她通常是一个人。
老女仆杜桑总在厨房里忙碌，而冉阿让父亲则在自己的房间里看书。
珂赛特感到有些忧伤。
她想念卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，但父亲已经不想再去那里了。
然而，那天傍晚，在普吕梅街的花园里，一件奇妙的事情发生了。
她听到了一个声音，一个男人的声音。
她回过头，正是他。
“万分抱歉，”他说，“请别害怕。我只是想……你还记得卢森堡公园吗？我在那里第一次见到你，从此日夜都无法将你忘记，脑海里全是你。请别害怕，你看，我爱你。这感情就这样发生了，我无法阻挡。请别害怕。”
珂赛特听着这如河水般倾泻而出的动人话语，然后向他伸出了手。
他握住她的手，她却将他的手拉向自己，紧紧贴在自己的心口。
“那么，你爱我？”他问。
“当然，你是知道的。”
一个吻，无需言语。
他们不需要任何言语。
后来，他们终于开口了，讲述彼此的人生故事。恋人之间的一切，都是那么有趣。
当话语说尽，珂赛特把头靠在马吕斯的肩上，轻声问：“你叫什么名字？”
“我叫马吕斯。你呢？”
“珂赛特。”
从此，每天傍晚，他们都在普吕梅街的花园里秘密相会。
一个吻，一声轻柔的笑，几句耳鬓厮磨的情话。
这是他们青春岁月里的春天与盛夏。
但在他们周围，在花园之外，世界正在发生剧变。
人们群情激愤，巴黎的街道上到处是警察和士兵。
有一天，冉阿让对珂赛特说：“我最亲爱的孩子，我们正身处危险的时代。我们必须离开法国，去英国。”
珂赛特用惊恐的眼神看着他。
“我们必须走吗，父亲？”她说。
冉阿让注视着她。
“我们必须走，”他说，“准备一下，我们很快就要动身了。”
珂赛特变了。
冉阿让想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，他端详着珂赛特年轻美丽的脸庞。
他害怕了，他害怕失去自己心爱的女儿。
那天傍晚，在普吕梅街的花园里，充满了悲伤的泪水。
“但你必须跟着我们去英国啊！”珂赛特哭喊道。
“我怎么去得了？”马吕斯也哭喊道，“我没有钱，也没有护照。对我来说，去英国简直就像去月球一样遥远。”
他们在月光下紧紧牵着手。
“听着，我有个主意，”马吕斯缓缓地说，“等两天，也许只要两天。”
“两天？”珂赛特哭喊道，“没有你，我该怎么熬过这两天？”

M: I heard you were going to attend the meeting on Wednesday, Mary. I didn't know you would go.

W:Yes, Gary. I am responsible for the project now. I took Dan's place since he had to be on sick leave.

(Text 4)

W:Are you satisfied with the restaurant?

M:Well, I have to say it's not my thing. The food was fine, but the restaurant was too crowded and the waiters kept shouting all the time. I thought they should be working in a quieter and friendlier way.

(Text 5)

W:Mr. Black is very good at Spanish and now he is beginning to study French. 

M:Yeah.And he also knows something of Chinese.

(Text 6)

W:Has Mr. Jones sent you the figures for next year's advertising campaign yet?

M:No. I haven't received anything from him. If we don't get those figures by tomorrow morning, we won't be able to draw up next year's budget on time.

W: We have to set the budget before Thursday, so maybe you should call him and find out what happened.

M: I think I will. If I don't hear from him by four,I'll try calling his office

W:Interesting.

M:Ooh, this is the microphone I recorded my first masterpiece with. A bit dusty.I wonder if it still works. Or maybe I should sell it. Who would buy it? 

W:Why don't you free cycle it?

M:Oh, that's a good idea. I can exchange a microphone for a bicycle, right?

W:No. You give it away. You give it to someone for free. It's another way of recycling. There are websites that help match you to people who want these things.

M:Free...recycle. Freecycle. Yes,I like the idea. But I would like a free bicycle even more.

W:So, Eric, how is life in Greenland these days?

M:Oh, you know. Winters are long. I live on the coast, though, so I get to seethe ocean every day. That's always nice.

W: I heard that winters in Greenland are somewhat shorter than they used to be ---global warming, I guess?

M:Yes, that's true. They're calling it "the greening of Greenland". 

W:The"greening"? What does that mean?

M:Well,the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn't use to exist in Greenland, you know! Neither did vegetables. So it's amazing! Besides, farmers can grow more grass for their animals.

W:Hello, this is Tina. I haven't booked my flight to Washington DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport?

M:Yes, well, if you're flying. Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore-Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town.

W:OK, cool,I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in Washington DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don't think it would be very convenient.

M:Yep. Were in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to Washington DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner. 

W:Do you include breakfast?

M:Yes,madam,and we also offer dinner if you like.

W:OK.That sounds good. Thank you. I'm going to think about it and once I've got everything booked, I'll give you a call. 

M:OK.Have a good day.

I really enjoy going to the movies with my friends on most weekends. I usually check the movie listings in the newspaper or online to see what is playing. I also check the movie reviews because I don't want to see a bad movie. I like to arrive early at the movie theater so l don't have to stand in line too long to buy tickets. Sometimes, the movie we want to see is sold out, so we might buy a ticket for a later showing. At the theater, I sometimes buy popcorn and a drink. The prices are sometimes high, but I like chewing something during a movie. I usually like to sit in an aisle seat somewhere in the middle of the theater. I think you can see the movie better instead of straining your neck if you are unfortunate enough to sit in the front rows. One thing I don't like is when other people talk during the movie, put their feet up on the back of my seat, or bring crying babies to the theater. Everyone should be able to enjoy the movie.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

原文

Chapter 3: Cosette

Monsieur Madeleine is of course Jean Valjean.

You knew that already after Denya.

He sells the bishop's silver plates, but keeps the candlesticks.

He comes to Montroy,builds his factory, works hard, is kind to other people.

He makes a new good life, and is true to the bishop of Denya.

But after Valjean left prison in Toulon and before he came to Denya, he was hungry, and in a street in Toulon he stole some money from a boy, just one franc, to buy bread.

Because he did this, the law in France says that prisoner Valjean must go back to prison and stay there for life.

He can never be a free man again.

And so we meet Javert.

Before Montroy,he was a prison guard at Toulon.

The law is his god, and he hates all criminals.

He remembers Jean Valjean, that big strong man, very well.

He wants to see him in prison again, and he Inspector Javert is going to put him there.

Jean Valjean remembers Javert now.

He remembers the cold eyes, the hard voice, the cruel prison guard's smile.

He remembers and is afraid.

He knows that Javert is his enemy for life, but he remembers Fantine, too.

He remembers her dying words, “Please take care of Cosette, please.”

How can he leave this little girl without a mother, without a friend in the world?

He must find her, Javert or no Javert.

Monsieur and Madame Thenardier lived in a village called Montfermeil near Paris.

There was no water in the village, and the nearest water was a small river in a wood 15 minutes ' walk away.

People carried the water in buckets to their houses.

Cosette hated that wood.

At night, the trees made noises.

She was frightened of the noises, frightened of the dark, and with a heavy bucket of water it was a long walk home.

One dark winter night in 1823, Madame Thenardier sent Cosette out to the river for water.

Cosette ran to the river.

And then, with her heavy bucket of water, she began to walk home.

The trees were noisy tonight, whispering and laughing at her.

And the little girl began to cry.

“Oh, please God, help me, please, dear God.”

And suddenly the bucket was gone.

A great hand came down and took it from her.

She looked up and saw big man in an old yellow coat.

Sometimes we know without words when something good is happening.

The little girl knew that now, and she was not frightened of the big man, not a bit.

The man spoke to her child, “This is a very heavy bucket. Shall I carry it for you?”

“Yes, monsieur.”

“How old are you?”

“I'm 8 years old, monsieur.”

“Where is your mother?”

“I don't know,”said the child, “I haven't got a mother.”

“What's your name?”

“Cosette.”

The big man stopped, he put the bucket down and looked into Cosette's face.

“Why are you carrying a heavy bucket of water at this time of night, who sent you?”

“Madame Thenardier.”

“I would like to talk to this Madame Thenardier. Shall we go and see her?”

“Yes,monsieur.”

Cosette was not afraid of the tree noises now.

This big man with his gentle voice was a new and wonderful thing in her life.

They walked to the Thenardier's house.

“Please,monsieur, can I carry the bucket now?”

“But why?”

“I can't ask people for help. Madame says she hits me when I do that,” Cosette said, “she hits me all the time.”

He gave her the bucket.

The Thenardiers were very surprised to see Cosette's new friend, this big man in the old yellow coat.

Inside the house, the big man looked at Cosette.

He saw her thin clothes, her dirty hair, her big frightened eyes.

She was small for her 8 years.

Her hands were red from kitchen work, and she had no shoes.

“Why does this child have no shoes on her feet on this cold winter night?” He said to Madame Thenardier.

Madame Thenardier looked at Cosette angrily.

“Go into the kitchen, Cosette. There is work to do, go. And are you?Monsieur.” Thenardier said.

“I am here for Fantine, the child's mother,” said the big man. “You don't need to know my name. Fantine is dead, so you can get no more money from her here.”

He put some money on the table is 1500 francs.

“Now call the child I'm taking her away.”

When Jean Valjean and Cosette left Montfermeil, Cosette did not look back.

She never wanted to see Madame Thenardier again.

She put her cold little hand into Valjean's great hand and looked up into his face.

“Monsieur,”she said, “can I, can I call you Father?”

Valjean looked down at her big round eyes.

“Yes,” he said.

He did not know love, he did not understand love, but in that moment, suddenly he felt a father's love for this small child.

“Yes,” he said again, “yes, you can call me father, it's a good name.”

Hand in hand,they walked away on the road to Paris.

In Paris,Cosette learn to laugh, and to sing like a bird, and to be happy.

Jean Valjean learned to be father and mother to this child, and he loved her dearly.

But they lived quietly, moved house often, and only went out at night.

Because Javert too was in Paris.

When Valjean escaped from Montroy, Javert came to Paris to look for him. He was now an important inspector in the Paris police.

Every criminal in Paris was afraid of Inspector Javert.

Once Valjeansaw Javert by the river, and the next day he looked for a new place to live.

He found one behind the high walls of a girl school.

The school gave Valjean a job as a gardener, and he lived in a little house in the big gardens.

Cosette lived in the school, but every day, she came to the gardener's little house for one hour.

They talked,and they sang, and they read books.

It was the happiest hour in the day for her and for Jean Valjean.

And so the years passed.

第三章：珂赛特

马德兰先生当然就是冉阿让。
在迪涅镇发生的那些事之后，你其实就已经知道了。
他卖掉了主教给的银餐盘，却留下了那对银烛台。
他来到蒙特勒伊，建起工厂，拼命工作，对他人仁慈宽厚。
他开启了一段崭新而向善的人生，也没有辜负迪涅主教的期望。
但是，在冉阿让离开土伦监狱、抵达迪涅镇之前，他曾饱受饥饿之苦。在土伦的一条街上，为了买面包，他从一个男孩那里偷了钱——仅仅只有一法郎。
就因为这个，法国的法律规定，囚犯冉阿让必须重返监狱，并在那里度过余生。
他再也无法成为一个自由人了。
于是，我们认识了沙威。
在来到蒙特勒伊之前，他是土伦监狱的一名狱卒。
法律就是他的神明，他痛恨一切罪犯。
他非常清楚地记得冉阿让——那个高大强壮的男人。
他想再次看到冉阿让身陷囹圄，而他沙威警长，就要亲手把他送进去。
此时的冉阿让也想起了沙威。
他记得那双冰冷的眼睛、那副生硬的嗓音，还有狱卒那残忍的微笑。
他回忆起了这一切，心中充满恐惧。
他知道沙威将是他一生的死敌，但他同样想起了芳汀。
他记起了她临终前的话语：“求您照顾珂赛特，求求您了。”
他怎么能把这个没有母亲、在世上举目无亲的小女孩孤零零地丢下呢？
他必须找到她，无论有没有沙威的阻拦。
德纳第夫妇住在巴黎附近一个叫蒙费梅伊的村子里。
村里没有水，最近的水源在十五分钟路程外的一片树林里的一条小河。
人们只能提着水桶把水扛回家。
珂赛特恨透了那片树林。
一到夜里，树木就会发出各种声响。
她害怕那些声音，害怕黑暗，而且提着沉甸甸的水桶，回家的路显得格外漫长。
1823年一个漆黑的冬夜，德纳第太太又打发珂赛特去河边打水。
珂赛特一路小跑来到河边。
然后，提着那桶沉重的水，她开始往回走。
今晚树林里的树木喧闹不止，仿佛在对着她窃窃私语、嘲笑她。
小女孩忍不住哭了起来。
“哦，上帝啊，求求您帮帮我，仁慈的上帝啊。”
突然，水桶从她手里消失了。
一只宽大的手伸下来，替她接过了水桶。
她抬起头，看到一个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人。
有时候，无需言语，我们也能感觉到好事正在发生。
小女孩此刻就明白了，她一点儿也不害怕这个高大的男人。
男人用对孩子说话的温柔语气对她说：“这桶水太沉了。我帮你提好吗？”
“好的，先生。”
“你几岁了？”
“我8岁了，先生。”
“你妈妈在哪儿？”
“我不知道，”孩子说，“我没有妈妈。”
“你叫什么名字？”
“珂赛特。”
高大的男人停下脚步，放下水桶，端详着珂赛特的脸。
“这么晚了，谁派你出来提这么重的一桶水？”
“德纳第太太。”
“我想和这位德纳第太太谈谈。我们一起去见见她好吗？”
“好的，先生。”
此时的珂赛特已经不再害怕树林里的声响了。
这个说话温柔的高大男人，成了她生命中一个全新而美好的存在。
他们一起走到了德纳第家。
“先生，求求您，现在我可以自己提水桶了吗？”
“为什么呢？”
“我不能向别人求助。太太说，如果我要是求助，她就会打我。”珂赛特说，“她总是打我。”
他把水桶还给了她。
看到珂赛特的新朋友——这个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人，德纳第夫妇感到非常惊讶。
在屋里，高大男人仔细打量着珂赛特。
他看到她单薄的衣服、脏乱的头发，还有那双充满惊恐的大眼睛。
八岁的她，个头比同龄人小得多。
她的双手因为干厨房的粗活而通红，脚上连双鞋都没有。
“这么冷的冬夜，这孩子怎么连双鞋都没穿？”他问德纳第太太。
德纳第太太恶狠狠地瞪了珂赛特一眼。
“进厨房去，珂赛特。还有活儿要干呢，快去。那么您呢，先生？”德纳第太太问道。
“我是为了这孩子母亲芳汀的事来的，”高大男人说，“你们不必知道我的名字。芳汀已经死了，你们再也别想从她那儿要到一分钱了。”
他把一些钱放在桌上——那是1500法郎。
“现在把孩子叫来，我要带她走。”
当冉阿让和珂赛特离开蒙费梅伊时，珂赛特没有回头。
她再也不想见到德纳第太太了。
她把冰冷的小手放进冉阿让宽大的手掌里，仰起头看着他的脸。
“先生，”她说，“我，我可以叫您父亲吗？”
冉阿让低头看着她那双圆溜溜的大眼睛。
“可以。”他说。
他曾经不懂得爱，也不明白什么是爱，但在那一刻，他突然对这个小小的孩子生出了一种深沉的父爱。
“可以，”他又说了一遍，“是的，你可以叫我父亲，这是一个很好的称呼。”
他们手牵着手，走在通往巴黎的路上。
在巴黎，珂赛特学会了笑，学会了像小鸟一样唱歌，学会了感受快乐。
冉阿让也学着同时扮演这个孩子的父亲和母亲，他深深地爱着她。
但他们过着深居简出的生活，经常搬家，并且只在夜里出门。
因为沙威也来到了巴黎。
当冉阿让从蒙特勒伊逃脱后，沙威便来到巴黎搜寻他。此时的沙威已经是巴黎警察局里一位举足轻重的警长。
巴黎的每一个罪犯都对沙威警长闻风丧胆。
有一次，冉阿让在河边看见了沙威，第二天他便立刻寻找新的住处。
他在一家女子学校高高的围墙后找到了一个安身之所。
学校给冉阿让提供了一份园丁的工作，他住在大花园里的一栋小房子中。
珂赛特就在那所学校里生活，但每天，她都会来到园丁的小屋里待上一个小时。
他们聊天、唱歌、读书。
这是她和冉阿让一天中最幸福的一个小时。
就这样，岁月悄然流逝。
