音频原文

(Text 1)

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)

原文


Chapter 1: Toby remembers


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.



翻译


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。

音频原文

Text 1

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

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。

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。

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.

Text 2
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.

Text 4
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.

Text 5
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.

Text 6
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?

W: Good.

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


原文


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?”


翻译


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:The guests are leaving for New York tonight. But there will be no bus then.We need someone to get them to the airport on time.

W:I'd be happy to, but my car is under repair now. 

M:In that case, we have to call a taxi.


(Text 2)

M:My secretary made a reservation for me for the 14th of January 

W:For how many nights?

M:Six. But if my wife comes, I'll stay for two more nights.


(Text 3)

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


(Text 7)

W:Are you OK, John?

M:Yeah, just clearing out this cupboard, Emilly. It's full of old junk 

W:Ooh, what a lot of stuff. Is that a... gorilla arm? 

M:Yes! Ah... that was a fun project.

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.


(Text 8)

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.


(Text 9)

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.


(Text 10)

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。

W:Hi, everyone. As we’re waiting here, let me introduce Castle Howard to you.Castle Howard has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Though its name contains the word “castle”, it is not a true castle because it was never used for defense. Castle Howard is actually an English country house, it has been home to the Howard family for more than 300 years. Over the years, a number of films have been shot there. When you visit it tomorrow, you’ll see many things. Perhaps there’s too much to see, but make sure you don’t miss these two things. First, the Walled Gardens. It is a group of three gardens.You can find 2,000 different types of roses there, almost all types of roses in England. The Walled Gardens is open every day of the year except Christmas.Second, the Woodland Garden. It is known for flowering plants, fruit trees and pathways through a wooded setting. In a word, Castle Howard is really beautiful. You could spend a whole day enjoying its beauty tomorrow.

Chapter 2: Fantine


Now we meet Fantine.

She is young and beautiful and in love with a man in Paris, but she has no family and no money.

For Fantine, this is the love of her life.

For the man in Paris, it is just a summer of love.

Men are not kind to women, they have their fun and then they walk away.

The man in Paris goes home to his rich family and leaves poor Fantine, and with a child, a little girl called Cosette.

Fantine must find work, but how?

Fantine has a child but no husband, and a woman without a husband is nothing, worse than nothing.

People are not kind to a woman with a child but no husband.

They turn their faces away, they close their doors, they say there's no work here for a woman like you.

Fantine loves her daughter dearly, but what can she do?

So in 1818, in a village near Paris, she leaves her little daughter with Monsieur and Madame Thenardier.

They ask for 7 francs a month.

Fantine pays the money, holds her daughter in her arms for the last time, and leaves.

She takes the road for her home town of Montroy,and tears are running down her face.

There is misery in her heart. Poor Fantine, poor Cosette.

In Montroy, Fantinefinds work in a factory.

This is the factory of Monsieur Madeleine, an important man in the town and very rich.

Everybody likes him, because he is a good man.

He is kind to his workers, he helps people,and his factory gives many jobs to the townspeople.

But who is he, this Monsieur Madeleine?Where did he come from?

He arrived in Montroy at the end of 1815,but nobody knows his family or anything about him.

Fantine sent money every month to the Thenardiers.

They were not good people, and they used the money for their own daughters.

Poor little Cosette was a hungry, dirty,unloved child.

She worked all day, she cleaned the house,she carried water, she washed the clothes.

But Fantine knew nothing of this, and she worked long hours to make money for Cosette.

The next year, the Thenardiers asked for 12 francs a month.

The year after that, they wanted 15 francs.

Then Fantine lost her job at the factory because the women did not like her.

 “She has achild in a village somewhere near Paris.”

“Yes, and where's her husband.”

“She doesn't have one.”

“We don't want that kind of woman here. She must go.”

Fantine found work making shirts.

It was hard work for little money.

She was often ill with a small dry cough.

The Thenardiers wrote again, “Your daughter needs a warm dress for winter, send 10 francs at once.”

Fantine did not have 10 francs.

She thought long and hard, and went to the barber in the town.

She took off her hat, and her golden hair fell down her back.

“That's beautiful hair,” said the barber.

“What can you give me for it?”

“10 francs.”

“Then cut it off.”

She sent the money to the Thenardiers.

“My daughter's not cold now,” she thought, “She'swearing my hair.”

Soon, another letter came from the Thenardiers,“Send 100 francs, or Cosette must leave our house.”

100 francs? How can a poor woman get that kind of money? There was only one way.

One cold winter evening, outside a restaurant in the center of Montroy, a woman walked up and down.

There was snow on the ground, but the woman wore an evening dress with flowers in her hair.

Some young men came out of the restaurant,saw her, and began to call her bad names.

They laughed and shouted, but the woman did not look at them.

Then one young then took some snow and put it down the back of the woman's dress.

The woman was Fantine.

She gave a cry, turned, and hit the young man's face with her hands.

People came to watch, laughing.

A tall policeman arrived, took the woman by the arm and pulled her away.

“Come with me,” he said.

This policeman was Inspector Javert.

He was new to Montroy, and he was a hard man.

To him, the law was the only important thing in life.

He hated criminals.

The law in France at that time was not kind to women like Fantine.

Javert took Fantine to the office of police.

“You hit a man in the street and that's a crime,” He told her, “You're getting six months.”

“Six months in prison?” Fantine cried, “no,I'm not a bad woman, monsieur, please, I must work. I need the money for my little daughter. Please, please don't send me to prison.”

She fell to the floor crying.

“Take her away,” Javert said to a policeman.

“One moment, please,” said a new voice.

Everybody turned to look at the door, and there stood the good, the great Monsieur Madeleine.

He was an important man in Montroy.

“Inspector,” he said, “I was outside the restaurant, too. And I can tell you the true story.”

“The young man began the fight, and this poor woman,” he looked at Fantine on the floor, “must go free. She did nothing wrong.”

“The woman is a criminal,” said Javert angrily.

“She must go free,” said Monsieur Madeleine,“Ask the other people at the restaurant. We all saw the same thing.”

Fontain stood up slowly, she began to cough,a hard dry noise.

Monsieur Madeleine took her arm gently.

“My dear child, you are not well,” he said.

Javert's cold eyes stared at Monsieur Madeleine.

“Do I know you from somewhere?” he said, “Were you ever at Toulon?”

Monsieur Madeleine looked at him.

His face did not change, but his eyes were suddenly very watchful.

“No, I don't know Toulon.” he said.

Monsieur Madeleine took Fantine to the little hospital in Montroy.

She lay in bed and coughed and coughed.

Monsieur Madeleine listened to her sad story, and the next day he sent money to the Thenardiers.

“Now you must get better,” he told Fantine, “Cosette needs you.”

But Fantine did not get better.

She was now very ill, and five days later the doctor spoke to Monsieur Madeleine.

“Does she have a child, this poor woman?”

He said, “Yes, a small daughter.”

“You must bring the child here soon.”

Monsieur Madeleine went to sit by Fountain's bed.

“Monsieur madeleine, you are so kind to me. I want to see my daughter one last time.Please, can you? Bring Cosette to me, please, monsieur.”

Monsieur Madeleine took her hand.

“Of course, I can,” he said gently.

And then, the door of the room suddenly opened behind him, and Fantine cried out “No, monsieur.”

Madeleine looked round quickly.

InspectorJavert came into the room with four policemen.

“Jean Valjean, prisoner at Toulon, I am arresting you,” Javert said, “After you left the prison, you stole money from a child in Toulon. You are still a thief, and now you must go to prison for life.”

Fantine sat up in bed.

“No,” she cried, “Cosette!”

Monsieur Madeleine stood up slowly.

“Inspector, give me three days.” He said.

He was a big man, much bigger than Javert.

“Three days to bring this poor woman's child to her before she dies, then you can take me.”

Javert laughed loudly, “Three days, you're going to run away?”

Behind the two men, Fantine cried out, “Monsieur Madeleine, please take care of Cosette. Please.”

Javert turn to her, “Be quiet, woman,there's no Monsieur Madeleine here. This man is a criminal called Jean Valjean,and he's going to prison.”

Fantine stared at Javert and tried to speak,but she could not.

She fell back in the bed and lay still. She was dead.

The people of Montroy talked about that day for a long time, the death of the woman Fantine,the arrest of Monsieur Madeleine.

Javert put Monsieur Madeleine in a locked room in the police office, but in the night, he broke down the door and escaped.

Where did he go? Did he go to his house in the town?

His old servant said “no”, she saw nobody and heard nothing.

She said she loved Monsieur Madeleine very much.

So where did Monsieur Madeleine go?

Nobody in Montroy saw him again.

One thing was certain.

In Monsieur Madeleine's house, there were two beautiful old silver candlesticks.

The next day they were gone.

第二章:芳汀


现在,我们来认识芳汀。
她年轻貌美,在巴黎与一个男人坠入爱河,但她没有家人,也没有钱。
对芳汀来说,这是她一生的挚爱;但对那个巴黎男人而言,这不过是一场夏日恋情罢了。
男人们对待女人并不仁慈,他们寻欢作乐之后,便一走了之。
那个巴黎男人回到了他富有的家族,留下了可怜的芳汀,以及他们的孩子——一个名叫珂赛特的小女孩。
芳汀必须找到工作,可她能怎么办呢?
芳汀有个孩子却没有丈夫,而在那个时代,没有丈夫的女人什么都不是,甚至比什么都不是还要不堪。
人们对带着孩子却没有丈夫的女人毫不留情。
他们对她冷眼相待,对她紧闭大门,还会说:“像你这样的女人,我们这儿没有工作。”
芳汀深爱着她的女儿,可她又能做些什么呢?
于是,在1818年,在巴黎附近的一个村庄里,她把小女儿托付给了德纳第夫妇。
他们要求每个月付7法郎。
芳汀付了钱,最后一次将女儿紧紧抱在怀里,然后转身离开。
她踏上了返回故乡蒙特勒伊的路,泪水顺着脸颊不断滑落。
她的心中充满了无尽的苦难。可怜的芳汀,可怜的珂赛特。
在蒙特勒伊,芳汀在一家工厂找到了工作。
这家工厂的老板是马德兰先生,他是镇上的大人物,非常富有。
大家都很喜欢他,因为他是个大好人。
他对工人们很仁慈,乐于助人,而且他的工厂为镇上的许多人提供了工作。
可是,这位马德兰先生究竟是谁?他又从何而来?
他是在1815年底来到蒙特勒伊的,但没有人知道他的身世,对他一无所知。
芳汀每个月都会按时寄钱给德纳第夫妇。
可他们并非善类,竟把芳汀寄来的钱全用在了自己亲生女儿的身上。
可怜的小珂赛特成了一个挨饿、肮脏、无人疼爱的孩子。
她整天干活,打扫屋子,提水,洗衣服。
但芳汀对此一无所知,她只能拼命工作,为珂赛特多挣些钱。
第二年,德纳第夫妇要求每月寄12法郎。
再往后一年,他们又要15法郎。
后来,芳汀失去了工厂的工作,因为厂里的女工们不喜欢她。
“她有个孩子,寄养在巴黎附近的某个村子里。”
“是啊,可她丈夫在哪儿呢?”
“她没有丈夫。”
“我们这儿不想要那种女人。她必须走人。”
芳汀只好靠做衬衫来谋生。
活儿很累,挣的钱却很少。
她经常生病,总是干咳不止。
德纳第夫妇又写信来:“你女儿冬天需要一件暖和的裙子,马上寄10法郎来。”
芳汀拿不出10法郎。
她思前想后,最终走进了镇上的理发店。
她摘下帽子,一头金发垂落在背上。
“多漂亮的头发啊,”理发师说。
“这头发你能给我多少钱?”
“10法郎。”
“那就剪了吧。”
她把换来的钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。
“我的女儿现在不会挨冻了,”她想,“她穿着我的头发呢。”
没过多久,德纳第夫妇又来信了:“寄100法郎来,不然珂赛特就得滚出我们家。”
100法郎?一个穷苦女人上哪儿去弄这么一大笔钱?只剩下最后一条路了。
在一个寒冷的冬夜,蒙特勒伊市中心的一家餐馆外,一个女人正来回踱步。
地上满是积雪,可她却穿着晚礼服,头上还戴着花。
几个年轻男人从餐馆里走出来,看见她,便开始用下流的话辱骂她。
他们又笑又叫,但那个女人连看都没看他们一眼。
接着,其中一个年轻男人抓起一把雪,顺着那个女人的衣领塞进了她的后背。
那个女人正是芳汀。
她惊叫一声,转过身,一巴掌狠狠打在那个年轻男人的脸上。
人们围过来看热闹,哈哈大笑。
这时,一个高大的警察走了过来,一把抓住女人的胳膊,将她拉开。
“跟我走。”他说。
这个警察是沙威警长。
他刚到蒙特勒伊不久,是个冷酷无情的人。
在他看来,法律是生命中唯一重要的东西。
他痛恨罪犯。
而当时法国的法律,对芳汀这样的女人是毫不留情的。
沙威把芳汀带到了警察局。
“你在大街上打了一个男人,这是犯罪,”他告诉她,“你要被判六个月的监禁。”
“六个月?”芳汀哭喊道,“不,我不是坏女人,先生,求求您,我必须工作。我需要钱养活我的小女儿。求求您,千万别把我送进监狱。”
她倒在地上痛哭起来。
“把她带走。”沙威对另一名警察说。
“请等一下。”一个陌生的声音响起。
所有人都转头看向门口,只见那位善良、伟大的马德兰先生正站在那里。
他是蒙特勒伊的显要人物。
“警长,”他说,“我当时也在餐馆外面。我可以告诉你事情的真相。”
“是那个年轻人先挑起事端的,而这个可怜的女人,”他看了一眼倒在地上的芳汀,“必须被释放。她没有任何过错。”
“这个女人是个罪犯!”沙威愤怒地说。
“她必须被释放,”马德兰先生说,“去问问餐馆里的其他人吧。我们大家看到的都是一样的。”
芳汀慢慢站起身,开始剧烈地咳嗽,发出沉闷干涩的声音。
马德兰先生温柔地扶住她的胳膊。
“我可怜的孩子,你身体不好。”他说。
沙威冰冷的双眼死死盯着马德兰先生。
“我是不是在哪儿见过你?”他说,“你以前去过土伦吗?”
马德兰先生看着他。
他的面庞毫无波澜,但眼神突然变得极度警觉。
“不,我不知道什么土伦。”他说。
马德兰先生把芳汀送到了蒙特勒伊的小医院。
她躺在床上,不停地咳嗽。
马德兰先生听完了她悲惨的身世,第二天便派人把钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。
“现在你必须好起来,”他告诉芳汀,“珂赛特需要你。”
但芳汀并没有好转。
她的病情已经非常严重了,五天后,医生对马德兰先生说:
“这个可怜的女人有孩子吗?”
“有,一个小女儿。”
“你必须尽快把孩子接来。”
马德兰先生走到芳汀的床边坐下。
“马德兰先生,您对我太好了。我想再看一眼我的女儿。求求您,您能办到吗?把珂赛特带到我身边来吧,先生。”
马德兰先生握住她的手。
“我当然能办到。”他温和地说。
就在这时,身后的房门突然被猛地推开,芳汀惊叫一声:“不,先生!”
马德兰先生迅速回过头。
沙威警长带着四名警察走进了房间。
“冉阿让,土伦的囚犯,我现在逮捕你,”沙威说,“你出狱后,在土伦偷了一个孩子的钱。你依然是个贼,现在你必须被判终身监禁。”
芳汀在床上猛地坐直身子。
“不!”她哭喊道,“珂赛特!”
马德兰先生缓缓站起身。
“警长,给我三天时间。”他说。
他是个大块头,比沙威高大得多。
“给我三天时间,让我把这个可怜女人的孩子带到她面前,等她见上最后一面,你再抓我。”
沙威放声大笑:“三天?你是打算趁机逃跑吗?”
在两个男人身后,芳汀哭喊道:“马德兰先生,求您照顾珂赛特。求求您了。”
沙威转过头对她吼道:“闭嘴,女人!这里没有什么马德兰先生。这个人是个叫冉阿让的罪犯,他马上就要进监狱了。”
芳汀死死盯着沙威,试图开口说话,却发不出一点声音。
她重重地倒回床上,再也没有动弹。她死了。
蒙特勒伊的人们谈论那一天谈了很久很久,谈论着芳汀的死,以及马德兰先生被捕的事。
沙威把马德兰先生关在警察局的一间密室里,但在夜里,他撞破房门逃跑了。
他去了哪里?他回镇上的家了吗?
他的老女仆说“没有”,她什么也没看见,什么也没听见。
她说她非常敬爱马德兰先生。
那么,马德兰先生到底去了哪里?
蒙特勒伊再也没有人见过他。
但有一件事是肯定的。
在马德兰先生的家里,原本放着两只漂亮的老银烛台。
第二天,它们就不见了。

M: Great, so, who will we get then?

W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.

M: They have the right kind of qualification? 

W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...

M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.

W: So, I’d say we do a set interview for that.

M: Sure.

W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.

M: Great. I’m really looking forward to this.

W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman’s letter.  Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo’s message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

Chapter 1: Jean Valjean


It is the year 1796, and the people of France are hungry; not the rich people, of course, they have food, they have warm clothes, they have beautiful houses; no, it is the poor people of France.

Jean Valjean is one of these poor people.

He is a young man, big, strong, and a good worker, but he has no work.

He cannot find work, and he is hungry.

He lives with his sister in the village of Bree, her husband is dead and she has seven children.

It is a cold, hard winter and there is no food in the house, no bread.

Nothing and seven children.

Jean Valjean is a good man; he is not a thief.

But how can a man just sit there when his sister's children cry all night because they are hungry?

What can a man do?

He leaves his house at night and goes down the village night.

He puts his hand through the window of the bakery.

“Crash!”,he takes a loaf of bread and he runs.

He runs fast, but other people run faster.

France is not kind to poor people.

France send Jean Valjean to prison for five years.

After four years, he escapes.

They find him and bring him back.

They give him six more years.

Once again, he escapes, and two days later they find him and they give him another eight years,19 years in prison for a loaf of bread.

In 1815, when he leaves prison, Jean Valjean is a different man.

Prison changes people.

Years of misery, years of back breaking work,years of cruel prison guards, these things change a man once.

There was love in Jean Valjean's heart, now there is only hate.

One evening in October in the year 1815,there was a knock on the door of the Bishop of Denya's house.

“Come in”, said the bishop.

The bishop was a kind man.

Everyone in the town of Denya knew that poor people, hungry people, miserable people, they all came to the door of the bishop's house.

The bishop's sister looked at the man at the door that night, and she was afraid.

“Look at him,” she whispered to the bishop, “he is a big man and a dangerous one. He carries a yellow card, so he was once a prisoner, a bad man.”

But the bishop did not listen.

“Come in, my friend,” he said to the man at the door, “come in, you must eat dinner with us and sleep in a warm bed tonight.”

The man stared at the bishop.

“My name is Jean Valjean,” he said, “I was a prisoner in Toulon for 19 years. Here is my yellow card, see, people everywhere shut their doors in my face, but not you, why not?”

“Because my friend, in the eyes of God, you are my brother,”said the bishop smiling, “So come in and sit by our fire.”

The bishop turned to his sister, “Now sister, our friend Jean Valjean needs a good dinner. Bring out the silver dinner plates. It's a special night tonight.”

“Not the silver plates,” whispered the bishop's sister.

Her eyes went quickly to Jean Valjean, then back to the bishop's face.

“Yes, the silver plates,” said the bishop, “and the silver candlesticks, too. The church has these beautiful things, but they are for our visitors, and our visitor tonight must have only the best.”

And so, Jean Valjean sat down with the bishop and his sister, and ate from silver plates.

He ate hungrily. It was his first good meal for weeks.

“You're a good man,” he said to the bishop, “perhaps the only good man in France.”

But Valjean could not take his eyes away from the silver plates.

After the meal, the bishop's sister put the silver plates away, and Valjean's eyes watched.

He saw the place, and he remembered it in the night, in his warm bed in the bishop's house.

He thought about the plates, they were big,heavy, so much silver in them.

“I can sell those plates,” he thought, “for just one of them. I can eat well for months.”

19 years in prison is a long time, and 19 hard years change a man.

By morning, Valjean was a long way from the bishop's house.

But how do you carry big silver plates? How do you hide them?

People in Denya began to whisper.

“Did you see him? That big man carrying six silver plates? Where did he get them from? Those plates came from the church. A man like that doesn't have silver plates, no, and he carries a yellow card, did you see? So he was a prisoner once, he's a thief, he stole those plates.”

The police heard the whispers, they went after Jean Valjean, found him and took him back to the bishop's house in the afternoon.

But there, they had a surprise.

“My dear friend,” the bishop, said to Jean Valjean, “I am so pleased to see you. You forgot the candlesticks, I gave you the silver plates and the candlestick, you remember, but you forgot to take the candlesticks when you left.”

“But this man is a thief.” said one of the policemen.

“No, no, of course not,” said the bishop smiling, “I gave the silver to Monsieur Valjean.”

“You mean he can go? He is free?” said the policeman.

“Of course,” the bishop said.

All this time Jean Valjean stared at the bishop, and said not one word.

The policeman went away, and the Bishop of Denya went into his house and came out again with the two silver candlesticks.

They were tall and heavy and beautiful.

The bishop put the candlesticks into Jean Valjean's hands.

“Jean Valjean, my brother,” he said, “you must leave your bad life behind you. This is God's silver, and I am giving it to you. With it, you can begin a new good life. I am buying your soul for God.”

Jean Valjean left the town of Denya with his silver plates and his silver candlesticks.

Suddenly he was a rich man, but he did not understand why.

“What's happening to me,” he thought, “everything is changing. How can I hate people when this bishop is so good to me? What shall I do, how shall I live?”

Prisoner Valjean did not understand anything.

He sat down by the road with his head in his hands and cried.

He cried for the first time in 19 years.

How long did he sit there crying? What didhe do next and where did he go?

Nobody knows, but when the sun came up on anew day, he was a changed man.

第一章:冉阿让


那是1796年,法国人民正饱受饥饿之苦;当然,富人不在其列,他们有充足的食物、温暖的衣物和漂亮的房子;挨饿的,是法国的穷苦百姓。
冉阿让就是这些穷人中的一员。
他是个年轻人,身材高大,体格强壮,也是个勤快的好工人,但他就是找不到工作。
他找不到活儿干,只能忍饥挨饿。
他和姐姐住在布里村,姐夫已经去世,留下姐姐独自抚养七个孩子。
那是一个寒冷而严酷的冬天,家里已经揭不开锅,连一点面包都没有了。
家里空空如也,却还有七张嗷嗷待哺的嘴。
冉阿让是个好人,他本不是贼。
可是,当姐姐的孩子们因为饥饿整夜整夜地啼哭时,一个男人怎么能干坐着无动于衷呢?
他又能做些什么呢?
他在夜里离开家,摸黑走进村庄。
他把手伸进面包房的窗户。
“哐当!”他抓起一条面包,拔腿就跑。
他跑得很快,但别人追得更快。
法国对穷人并不仁慈。
法国把冉阿让送进监狱,判了五年。
四年后,他越狱了。
他们抓回了他,又给他加了六年刑期。
他再次越狱,两天后又被抓了回来,这次又加了八年。仅仅为了一条面包,他在监狱里整整熬了十九年。
1815年,当他走出监狱时,冉阿让已经变成了另一个人。
监狱是会改变人的。
多年的苦难、多年的苦役、多年残酷狱卒的折磨,这些经历彻底改变了一人。
冉阿让的心里曾经有过爱,如今却只剩下仇恨。
1815年10月的一个傍晚,迪涅主教的宅邸响起了敲门声。
“请进。”主教说道。
主教是个仁慈的人。
迪涅镇上的每个人都知道,穷人、饿着肚子的人、走投无路的人,都会来到主教家门前求助。
那天晚上,主教的姐姐看着门外的男人,心里十分害怕。
“你看看他,”她低声对主教说,“他是个大块头,看着很危险。他带着黄护照,说明他曾经是个囚犯,是个坏人。”
但主教没有听她的。
“请进吧,我的朋友,”他对门外的男人说,“请进来,你必须和我们一起吃顿晚饭,今晚还要睡在温暖的床上。”
男人死死盯着主教。
“我叫冉阿让,”他说,“我在土伦的监狱里蹲了十九年。这是我的黄护照,你看,走到哪里人们都对我闭门不见,但你却没有,为什么?”
“因为我的朋友,在上帝眼里,你就是我的兄弟,”主教微笑着说,“所以请进来,在炉火旁坐下吧。”
主教转过头对姐姐说:“姐姐,我们的朋友冉阿让需要一顿丰盛的晚餐。把那些银餐盘拿出来吧。今晚是个特别的夜晚。”
“别拿银餐盘。”主教的姐姐低声说。
她的目光迅速瞥向冉阿让,又马上转回主教的脸上。
“就要拿银餐盘,”主教说,“还有银烛台也要拿出来。教堂拥有这些精美的器物,但它们本就是为客人们准备的,而我们今晚的客人,理应享受最好的待遇。”
于是,冉阿让和主教以及他的姐姐坐在一起,用银餐盘吃着饭。
他狼吞虎咽地吃着。这是他几周来吃的第一顿饱饭。
“你是个好人,”他对主教说,“也许是法国唯一的好人。”
但冉阿让的目光始终无法从那些银餐盘上移开。
饭后,主教的姐姐把银餐盘收了起来,冉阿让的眼睛一直盯着。
他看清了存放的位置,并在当晚、在主教家温暖的床上,将这一切牢牢记在心里。
他想着那些盘子,它们又大又沉,里面全是实打实的银子。
“我可以把那些盘子卖掉,”他想,“哪怕只卖一个,也够我舒舒服服吃上好几个月了。”
十九年的牢狱之灾太漫长了,十九年的苦难足以改变一个人。
到了第二天清晨,冉阿让已经离开主教的宅邸,走出了很远。
可是,那么大的银餐盘怎么带走?又该怎么藏匿呢?
迪涅镇上的人们开始窃窃私语。
“你看见他了吗?那个大块头带着六个银餐盘?他从哪儿弄来的?那些盘子是教堂的。像他这种人不可能有银餐盘,不可能,而且他带着黄护照,你看见了吗?所以他以前是个囚犯,他是个贼,那些盘子是他偷的。”
警察听到了这些议论,他们追上冉阿让,在下午将他押回了主教的家。
但在那里,他们却迎来了一个意想不到的转折。
“我亲爱的朋友,”主教对冉阿让说,“见到你回来我太高兴了。你把烛台落下了。我给了你银餐盘和烛台,你记得的,但你走的时候忘了把烛台带走。”
“可这个人是个贼啊。”一名警察说道。
“不,不,当然不是,”主教微笑着说,“那些银器是我送给冉阿让先生的。”
“您的意思是,他可以走了?他自由了?”警察问。
“当然。”主教说。
在这整个过程中,冉阿让一直呆呆地盯着主教,一句话也没说。
警察离开后,迪涅主教走进屋里,拿着那两只银烛台走了出来。
它们又高又沉,十分精美。
主教把烛台放进冉阿让的手里。
“冉阿让,我的兄弟,”他说,“你必须把过去的罪恶生活抛在脑后。这是属于上帝的银器,现在我把它送给你。有了它,你可以开始一段崭新而向善的人生。我是在替上帝买下你的灵魂。”
冉阿让带着银餐盘和银烛台离开了迪涅镇。
突然间,他成了一个富人,但他自己都不明白为什么。
“我到底怎么了,”他想,“一切都在改变。当这位主教对我如此仁慈时,我怎么能继续去恨别人呢?我该怎么办,我又该怎样活下去?”
作为囚犯的冉阿让,对这一切感到茫然不解。
他坐在路边,双手捂着脸,哭了起来。
这是十九年来,他第一次流泪。
他在那里坐了多久?接下来他又做了什么,去了哪里?
没有人知道。但当新的一天太阳升起时,他已脱胎换骨,变成了一个全新的人。

W:Did Ms. Green explain something about the paintings?

M:Yes, and after that we made pictures for a competition. I drew a picture of Ms.Green. It looked like a Picasso painting.

M:Cindy, as a working mother, how do you balance work and family?

W: It takes skills. It’s an art, I should say. But raising a kid while working is not as hard as most people think.

M:What do you mean?

W:Working as a model, I do a lot of exercise every day to stay fit, and I encourage our kid to do it with me. It’s like play to her. As a result,I’m fit, she’s fit, and we spend time together.

M: I see. What else do you do together?

W:Things like reading picture books and going to the park.

M: I really like your ideas.

W: I worked at the reception desk and did some paperwork.

M:What did you learn there?

W:I received phone calls and met customers most of the time. And I supported staff from different departments at times. So, I learned to deal with various kinds of people.

M:Did you apply any of the knowledge you got at university?

W:Yes, I think I did use some of the language knowledge.

M:What has been your worst experience at work?

W:Well, once I met a customer who came to make a complaint. I tried my best,but he was just being unreasonable. I had to refer him to my manager. It was a hard day.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Chapter 6: Holmes has the answers


On the train back to London, Holmes told us the story behind the mystery, and the time went very quickly.

"Before we went down to King's Pyland," my friend began, "I thought it was Fitzroy Simpson. But when we arrived at the stables, I suddenly remembered the hot meat curry. Why didn't I think of it before? That, you see, was the beginning."

"The meat curry?" said Mr. Ross, thinking about it, "How did the meat curry help you?"

"Do you know the taste of opium?" Holmes said.

"No."

"Well, it's not a very strong taste, but it's there. You can taste it in most food, but not in curry. Curry has a very strong taste,stronger than opium. So the killer says 'I need a night, when the dinner is a meat curry, then Ned Hunter can eat his dinner happily without the taste of opium and go to sleep.'

But did Fitzroy Simpson know that curry was the dinner on Monday night? Of course not. How could he? He didn't make the dinner, he was a stranger at King's Pyland. He knew nobody in the trainer's house. So, we forget Simpson and think again.Who knew about the curry before dinner on that Monday night?"  

"John Straker and his wife," I said, "And the servant."

"Right,Watson, and so on to the next question about the dog. We know there was a dog in the stables that night, because Ned Hunter took the dog out when Simpson was there. Then in the middle of the night, someone went into the stables and took out a horse. The two boys sleeping upstairs in the stables heard nothing,because there was nothing to hear. The dog did not bark, why not?"

"Aha!"said Mr. Ross, "It didn't bark because it knew the visitor. Dogs only bark at strangers."

"Right again, so the midnight visitor was John Straker. But why did he take the horse out? What did he want? It was something dishonest? or why did he put opium in his stable boy's dinner? We all know about dishonest trainers, they can make a lot of money, they put big bets against their own horse and then stop their horse winning, but how? What was Straker's plan here? Perhaps the answer was in his pockets, I thought.

And so it was. you remember the strange knife? Doctor Watson here told us about it-an eye knife, used by doctors in hospitals. With a knife like this, you can make a cut, a very, very small cut in the tendon of a horse's back leg. Nobody can seethe cut, and the horse only feels it a little. He's not lame, but he doesn't run his best, so he cannot win the race."

"And Straker wanted to do this to my horse," cried Mr. Ross, "How could he? I thought he was a good man."

"No,"said Holmes, "He wasn't a good man or a careful one, No horse stands quietly when a knife goes into its back leg, Straker didn't want anyone to heart he noise, so he took the horse out onto the moor.

"The candle and the match!" I said, "Of course."

"That's right," Holmes said, "And I learnt more from Straker's pockets, too. You are a man of the world, Mr. Ross, do men carry other men's bills around in their pockets? No, they do not. So, who was Mr. Derbyshire?Another name for John Straight, and there was a lady in the case, too. A very expensive lady. I talk to Mrs. Straker about the dress and the hat on the bill,but she knew nothing about them."

"Andon Monday night, out on the moor," said Mr. Ross, "What happened, do you think?"

"How about this?" said Holmes, "Straker takes the horse down the hill. He sees Simpson's scarf on the ground and takes it with him. Why? I don't know, he puts his coat on a tree, gets out the candle and the matches and the knife, and begins his work, but Silver Blaze doesn't like it. Perhaps he's afraid, perhaps he feels something is wrong. He's a big strong horse, and he gets angry. He kicks out with his back legs, and the horse shoes hit Straker on the head. Straker goes down into the mud and the knife in his hand goes into his own leg. The horse disappears into the night."

"Wonderful!"Mr. Ross said, "You tell it very well, Mr. Holmes, I see it all now."

"And the sheep," I asked, "What about the sheep? You told Inspector Gregory that they were important."

"Yes,Watson, the sheep," Holmes smiled "And they were important. It's not easy to make a very small cut in an animal's tendon, and Straker did not want to get it wrong. He needed to practice first, but what onthere were his own sheep right in front of him.

"And where did you go in London, the day after we got back?" I asked, "Was it to that dressmaker on the bill for Mr. Derbyshire?"

"Very good, Watson," Holmes laughed, "Yes, I had a photograph of Straker,and the dressmaker knew him at once. 'Oh, yes,' she said, 'That's Mr. Derbyshire do a lot of work for him. Mrs. Derbyshire is a very beautiful lady, and she likes expensive dresses. '"  

Holmes laughed again, "It's an old, old story, Straker is not the first man with two women in his life. He needed more money for the expensive Mrs. Derbyshire,so he thought of this plan with Silver Blaze, and there you have it, Mr. Ross."

"Yes,I understand it all now," said Mr. Ross, "And thank you very much, Mr.Holmes. There's just one thing-where was the horse?"

"Yes,the horse was safe and well and with a friend," said Sherlock Holmes, "I can't tell you who or where, because I made a promise. But here we are, nearly in London, you have the answer to the mystery, Mr. Ross. You are the winner of the Wessex Cup and the owner of the fastest racehorse in the South of England.What more do you need?"

第六章:福尔摩斯的答案


在回伦敦的火车上,福尔摩斯给我们讲了这个谜后面的事情真相,不知不觉时间过得飞快。

"我们去金斯皮兰之前,"我的朋友开口说道,"我以为是菲茨罗伊·辛普森干的。但当我们走到马厩那儿的时候,我突然想起那些热的咖哩烧肉。在这之前我怎么没想到这个呢?瞧,这就是事件的开端......"

"咖哩烧肉......"罗斯先生说着,回想了一下。"呃,咖哩烧肉对你有什么启发?"

"你知道麻鸦片的味道吗?"福尔摩斯说,"不知道?呃,那种味道不怎么浓烈,但能感觉到。大多数食物里放了麻醉剂都能尝出来,但在咖哩里尝不出来。咖哩味道很浓,比麻醉剂味道还重。所以凶手说:'我需要找个吃咖哩烧肉的晚上,这样内德·亨特就会愉快地享受晚餐,不会尝出鸦片的味道--然后就睡着了。'

但菲茨罗伊·辛普森知道星期一晚上的晚餐是咖哩吗?当然不知道。他怎么能知道呢?晚餐又不是他做的。他不是金斯皮兰人,也不认识驯马师家里的任何人。所以,我们排除了辛普森,开始重新思考。星期一晚上,谁在晚饭前就知道有咖哩呢?"

"约翰·斯特雷克和他妻子,"我说,"还有那个佣人。"

"没错,华生。然后是下一个问题,关于狗的。我们知道那天晚上马厩里有一条狗,因为辛普森在的时候内德·亨特把狗牵出来了。然后深夜里有人进了马厩,牵走了一匹马。睡在马厩楼上的两个小马倌没听到动静,因为根本就没什么动静。狗没有叫。为什么没叫呢?"

"啊哈!"罗斯先生说,"狗没叫是因为它认识来的人。狗只对着生人叫。"

"又说对了。也就是说,深夜来的人就是约翰·斯特雷克。但他为什么要把马带出去呢?他想干什么?肯定是什么不光彩的事,不然他为什么要在自己的马倌的饭里下鸦片?我们都知道有些不老实的驯马师,他们能赚很多钱--他们下重注赌自己的马输,然后阻止自己的马赢得比赛。但怎么做呢?斯特雷克的计划是什么?我想,答案没准就在他的口袋里。

"确实如此。你还记得那把奇怪的小刀吗?这位华生医生告诉了我们那是什么--一把眼科手术刀,是医院里的医生用的。你可以用这样一把刀制造一个伤口--一个非常非常小的伤口--在马的后腿肌腱上。没人会看见这个伤口,马也只有一点点感觉。马不会瘸,但不能发挥最好的水平,这样就无法赢得比赛。"

"斯特雷克想用这种手段对付我的马?"罗斯先生叫道,"他怎么能这样?我原以为他是个好人!"

"不,"福尔摩斯说,"他不是好人--也不是个小心的人。当一把刀刺进后腿的时候,没有哪匹马会安安静静地站着。斯特雷克不想让人听见动静,于是他就把马牵到了高沼地里。"

"蜡烛,还有火柴,"我说,"当然是这样!"

"不错,"福尔摩斯说,"我从斯特雷克的口袋里还知道了更多情况。罗斯先生,你是个通晓世故的人。人们会把其他人的账单放在口袋里随身带着吗?不,他们不会。那么达比希雷先生是谁呢?那是约翰·斯特雷克的另一个名字。这个案子里还有一位女士。一位阔绰的女士。我向斯特雷克夫人试探了账单上列出的衣服和帽子,但她对这些东西一无所知。"

"那星期一晚上,在高沼地里,"罗斯先生说,"你认为发生了什么事?"

"这个怎么样?"福尔摩斯说,"斯特雷克把马带到山脚下。他看见辛普森的围巾在地上,就捡了起来--为什么,我也不知道。他把外套挂在一棵树上,取出蜡烛和火柴,还有那把刀,开始于他的活计。但'银光'不喜欢这样。或许它受了惊,或许它觉得有什么不对劲。它是匹高大强壮的马,而且不耐烦了。它扬起后腿踢了出去,马蹄正中斯特雷克的脑袋。斯特雷克倒了下去,跌在泥地里,他手里的刀划到了自己的腿。那匹马消失在夜色中。"

"太精彩了!"罗斯先生说,"你讲得太生动了,福尔摩斯先生,我现在全明白了。"

"还有那些羊呢?"我问道,"那些羊是怎么回事?你对格雷戈里巡官说它们很重要。"

"啊,对了,华生,那些羊。"福尔摩斯笑了起来。"它们的确很重要。在动物的肌腱上划一个小伤口不是那么容易,斯特雷克不想失手。他得先练习,但在哪儿练呢?他自己的羊,就在他面前。"

"我们回伦敦后第二天你去哪儿了?"我问道,"是去达比希雷先生账单上那个裁缝那儿吗?"

"太棒了,华生!"福尔摩斯大笑。"对,我拿了张斯特雷克的照片,那个裁缝一眼就认出他了。'哦,是的,'她说,'这是达比希雷先生。我替他做了很多衣服。达比希雷夫人是一位很美的女士,她喜欢昂贵的衣服。'"福尔摩斯又笑起来。"这是个老掉牙的故事。斯特雷克不是第一个享受齐人之福的男人。他需要更多的钱来满足那位奢侈的达比希雷夫人,于是他打起了'银光'的主意。现在你知道是怎么回事了,罗斯先生。"

"对,我现在全明白了,"罗斯先生说,"福尔摩斯先生,太谢谢你了。不过还有件事。马当时在哪里?"

"啊,对。那匹马当时很安全,状况良好,跟一位朋友在一起。"福尔摩斯说,"我不能告诉你它跟谁在一起,或者在什么地方,因为我作出了承诺。不过,我们现在已经快到伦敦了。罗斯先生,你已经知道了谜底,又赢得了韦塞克斯杯,还是英格兰南部速度最快的赛马的主人。你还有什么不满足的呢?"

(Text10)

  Many students ask me about how to understand, and enjoy the experience of concert going. So today, I'd like to take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what is performed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance, these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall. You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups. Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or night of a concert, you have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internal. If possible, prepare fora concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


原文


Chapter 5: A day at the races


On Tuesday, Holmes and I took the train to Winchester, and Mr.Ross met us at the station.

He drove us to the races, but he was not a happy man.

"Well,Mr. Holmes," he said coldly, "Do you have news of my horse?"

Holmes smiled, "He's safe and well, I'm sure. How is the betting for the Wessex Cup?"

"Very strange," said Mr. Ross, "Yesterday Silver Blaze was 15 to 1, but today he's the favorite, at 3 to 1. Why, I don't know."

"Ah!"said Holmes, "Somebody knows something."

We arrived only minutes before the beginning of the Wessex Cup race.

This was Holmes's plan, I think, Mr. Ross had no time to ask questions.

There were six horses running in the race, and Silver Blaze's name was there, at number four.

The horses began to come out for the race and Mr. Ross got very excited.

"Where is he? I can't see him." he cried.

"There are two more horses to come out," I said, "And look, there's number four now in racing colors of red and blue. Those are your colors, Mr. Ross."

And there was Silver Blaze, a big brown horse with a white nose.

He came past us, looking strong and well and ready for anything.

"Holmes!"cried Mr. Ross, "I was wrong about you. I'm sorry, but why? how?"

"Shh!" said Holmes, "Watch. Yes, they're off!"

It was a good race, fast and exciting.

After the first minute, a horse with yellow racing colors came to the front and stayed there.

"That's Desborough from the Capleton stables," said Holmes, "A good horse, but Silver Blaze is better. "

But Silver Blaze was three horses behind Desborough.

"Come on, come on," cried Mr. Ross, "Move up now."

We all watched the red and blue colors.

"Yes," I said, "Look, he's moving up now! watch him go!"

Slowly but surely, Silver Blaze moved up into fourth place, then into third place,then into second place, now only Desborough was in front of him.

"That's my boy," said Mr. Ross, "Go on, go on."

"Desborough is getting tired," Holmes said, "Watch!"

80 meters, 50 meters…

"He's away," cried Mr. Ross, "His nose is in front. Yes, yes,he's going to do it."

And he did. Silver Blaze kept his nose in front, finished first and one the Wessex Cup.

"Wonderful,"said Mr. Ross, "Wonderful, what a race, what a horse, Mr. Holmes, how can I thank you?"

"You must thank the horse, not me," said Holmes, smiling, "Let's go down and have a look at him."

Silver Blaze was still excited by his big race.

Mr.Ross looked him up and down, "he looks well, very well. I don't understand any of it, Mr. Holmes, how did you do it? where did you find him? And perhaps you now have John Straker's killer too, do you?"

"Yes,"said Holmes quietly, "Yes, I have him, too."

Mr.Ross and I stared at him.

"You have him?" Mr. Ross said, "Where is he?"

"He is here."

"Here!Where?"

"Herewith me now, at this moment."

Mr.Ross's face began to go red.

"What are you saying, Mr. Holmes?" he said angrily, "Are you saying…"

Sherlock Holmes laughed, "No, no, Mr. Ross, not you. The killer, he standing behind us."

He turned and put his hand on Silver Blaze's back.

"The horse?" cried Mr. Ross

"The horse!" I said.

"Yes,the horse." said Holmes, "But don't be angry with him. You can hear all about the mystery, but later please. I have a little bet on a horse in the next race, and I would like to see it win."

第五章:比赛日


到了星期二,福尔摩斯和我乘火车去了温切斯特,罗斯先生在车站接我们。

他赶车送我们去赛场,但他的情绪不高。

"呃,福尔摩斯先生,"他冷冷地说,"你有我的马的消息吗?"

福尔摩斯笑了。"我确信它很安全,而且状况良好。现在韦塞克斯杯的赌注怎样?"

"很奇怪,"罗斯先生说,"昨天'银光'还是15比1,今天又成了大热门,变成了3比1。唉,我真不明白。"

"啊!"福尔摩斯说,"一定是有人知道了什么消息。"

我们刚好在韦塞克斯杯开赛前几分钟赶到。

我猜这是福尔摩斯的计划。这样罗斯先生就没时间问什么问题。

一共有六匹马参加比赛,"银光"的名字也在,是4号。

赛马开始出场准备比赛了,罗斯先生激动起来。

"它在哪儿?我没看见它!"他叫道。

"还有两匹马没出来,"我说,"看!现在出来的是4号,比赛服装是红色和蓝色。罗斯先生,那是你的颜色。"

"银光"就在那儿,那是一匹棕色的高头大马,鼻子是白色的。它经过我们面前,看上去身强体壮,气色很好,好像什么都难不倒它。

"福尔摩斯,"罗斯先生叫道,"我错怪你了!对不起,但是,你怎么--"

"嘘!"福尔摩斯说,"看!好的,他们出发了!"

这场比赛很精彩,紧张激烈,扣人心弦。

比赛开始后一分钟,一匹身披黄色比赛服的马冲到了最前面,并一直保持领先。

"那是德斯伯勒,卡普莱顿马厩的马。"福尔摩斯说,"这匹马很不错,不过'银光'更棒。"

但"银光"还在德斯伯勒身后的三匹马后面。

"快,快!"罗斯先生大叫,"快赶上去!"

我们都注视着那片红蓝相间的颜色。

"好!"我说,"看,它赶上来了!看它赶上来了!"

"银光"稳稳地赶到了第四名的位置,然后是第三名,然后是第二。

现在,只有德斯伯勒在它前面了。

"真是好样儿的!"罗斯先生说,"加油,加油!"

"德斯伯勒没力气了,"福尔摩斯说,"看!"

80米,50米.....

"他超过去了!"罗斯先生大喊,"它的鼻子在前面了,是的,是的,它就要赢了!"

它的确成功了。"银光"保持鼻子在先超出德斯伯勒,首先到达终点,赢得了韦塞克斯杯。

"太好了!"罗斯先生说,"太好了!这场比赛太精彩了!这匹马太棒了!福尔摩斯先生,我该怎么谢你才好呢?"

"你得谢谢那匹马,不用谢我。"福尔摩斯微笑着说,"我们下去看看它吧。"

"银光"还在为这场刚刚结束的大赛激动不已。

罗斯先生上下打量着它。"它看上去很好,好极了。我一点儿也不明白,福尔摩斯先生。你是怎么做到的?你在哪儿找到它的?你现在多半也已经抓到了杀害约翰·斯特雷克的凶手。对吗?"

"对。"福尔摩斯平静地说,"对,我也抓到他了。"

罗斯先生和我都盯着他。"你抓到他了?"罗斯先生说,"他在哪儿?"

"他在这儿。"

"这儿!哪儿?"

"现在就在这儿,跟我在一起。"

罗斯先生的脸涨红了。

"你在说些什么,福尔摩斯先生?"他愤怒地说,"你是指..."

歇洛克·福尔摩斯大笑起来。"不,不,罗斯先生,不是你。凶手站在我们身后。"

他转过身,把手放在"银光"的背上。

"这匹马?"罗斯先生叫道。

"这匹马!"我说。

"对,就是这匹马,"福尔摩斯说。"但别怪它。你会听到所有的秘密,但得晚些。下一场比赛我在一匹马身上下了注,我想看着它赢......"

W: That’s how I feel just thinking about the spelling competition next week.

M: I didn’t know you made it to the finals.

W: I’m worried I’ll get nervous and freeze on stage. I might forget how to spell everything, even my own name. I don’t know what to do.

M:Nancy, I know that you’re not going to forget how to spell your name. I’ll help you get through this. I’ll go to the school hall with you to practice. Then I’ll teach you an exercise my baseball coach taught me. Believe me. It works.

W: I feel much better now. Thanks, Daniel.


(Text9)

W:Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.

M: To begin with, I’d like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.

W:Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?

M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I’d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. 


(Text10)

Talking about personal relationships, well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I’m confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I’ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


单词提示


1.lame 跛脚的



原文


Chapter 4: Looking for a horse


Holmes and I walked slowly across the moor.

In the evening sunlight, the autumn colors on the hills were beautiful reds and browns and yellows, but Holmes saw nothing of that.

"So,Watson," he said, "Let's forget John Straker for a minute, and think about the horse. Horses are friendly animals. Let's say that Silver Blaze runs away after the killing. Here he is out on the cold, wet moor. What does he do next?"

"He looks for a nice warm stable," I said, "With food and water."

"Right,Watson. He didn't go back to King's Pyland, we know that, but there is another stable not far away at Capleton, perhaps he went there. And the way to cable to Capleton. Watson, is down, this hill, let's go."

We walked quickly down the hill.

And at the bottom, we found a small river and some very wet ground.

"Wonderful,"said Holmes, "I wanted mud and here it is. You follow the left side of the river, Watson. We're looking for the tracks of horseshoes."

We found them after only 50 meters.

Holmes took the horseshoe out of his pocket and put it next to the tracks.

"Yes, that silver blaze, no question about it."

We followed the tracks easily, then lost them for a time, but found them again about 200 meters from the Capleton stables.

"Here they are," I cried, "And look, there's another track here of a man's shoe."

Holmes got down to look.

"You're right, Watson, and the man is walking next to the horse."

We followed the two tracks to Capleton stables, and were still 20 meters away when a man came out and called to us.

He had a red, angry face go away, "We don't want visitors here. Go away."

"Mr.Silas Brown?" Holmes said to him.

"What do you want?" said the man, "I don't talk to newspaper people, so just go away."

"We are not from a newspaper," said Holmes, smiling, "But you have a horse called Silver Blaze in your stable."

"That'snot true." Mr. Brown said angrily.

"Shall we go in and talk about it?" said Holmes.

He did not wait for an answer, but took the man's arm and moved quickly to the gate.

He looked back at me and said quietly, "Wait for me here, Watson."

Twenty minutes later, they came out again.

Holmes looked pleased, and Mr. Silas Brown was a different man.

He looked smaller and older, and his face was afraid.

"Remember," said Holmes, "You must be there on the day, on time, and everything must be ready."

"Yes,yes," Silas Brown said quickly, "You can be sure of it. Oh, yes, you can be sure of it."  

"Good,"said Holmes, "Well, goodbye for now."

Holmes and I then began to walk back to King's Pyland along the road.

"Does he have the horse then?" I asked.

Holmes laughed.

"Yes,"he said, "No at first, of course, but he's afraid of the police. He doesn't want them to know about this, and I can help him with that."

"But why didn't the police find the horse?" I asked, "Inspector Gregory said they went to Capleton."

"Oh, it's easy to change the color of a horse's coat."

Holmes laughed again, "Gregory is a good policeman, but I don't think he knows much about horses."

"And why did Brown tell you?" I said.

"When I walked through the stables with him," said Holmes, "The ground was muddy and I saw the tracks of his shoes in the mud. You remember those tracks on the moor? Well, these were the same shoes. After that, it was easy, and he told me everything. He found Silver Blaze on the moor early in the morning, and brought him into the stables. The horse is very well, just a different color at the moment. Brown put a very big bet on Desborough to win the Wessex Cup, you see, and with Silver Blaze out of the race."

"But why did you leave the horse there? Is it safe with him?"

I did not understand Holmes's plan.

"My dear Watson," Holmes said, "The horse is very safe. Silas Brown is afraid of me, afraid of the police, afraid of losing everything. Silver Blaze must be ready to race next week, or Brown's life as a racehorse trainer is finished, and Brown knows that."

"Mr.Ross isn't going to like it," I said.

"Mr.Ross," said Holmes, "Doesn't understand detective work, he wants answers today, now, at once. So, he must learn a lesson, he must learn to wait.Say nothing about Silver Blaze for the moment, Watson."

Back at King's Pyland, we found Mr. Ross and Inspector Gregory in the trainer's house.

"An interesting visit," said Holmes, "But my friend and I must go back to London by the midnight train."

The Inspector and Mr. Ross stared at him, and I saw that Holmes was right about Mr. Ross.

"So our famous London detective can't find poor Straker's killer," Mr. Ross said. "Or my horse."

"It's a difficult case, that's true," said Holmes quietly, "But your horse is going to run in the Wessex Cup next Tuesday. You have my promise on that."

"A promise is a wonderful thing," said Mr. Ross, "but I would like the horse better than a promise."

Holmes smiled, then turned to Inspector Gregory.

"Inspector,can you give me a photograph of Straker?"

"Yes,of course." said the Inspector.

He took one from an envelope in his pocket and gave it to Holmes.

It was now time to go back to Tavistock, and we went outside.

One of the stable boys was there, and Holmes suddenly spoke to him.

"I see you have some sheep here, next to the stables," he said, "Are they all well?"

"They're all right, sir," said the boy, "But two or three of them are a little lame. They went lame last week."

Holmes was very pleased about this.

He got into the carriage and said to the Inspector, "Remember the lame sheep,Gregory, remember the lame sheep!"

Mr.Ross was not interested in the sheep, but the Inspector stared at Holmes.

"You think the sheep are important?"

"Oh,yes," said Holmes, "Very important."

The inspector still stared at him, very interested now.

"And what other things are important, Mr. Holmes?"

"The strange incident of the dog in the night-time."

"The dog did nothing in the night time."

"That was the strange incident."

第四章:寻找赛马


福尔摩斯和我慢慢穿过高沼地。

夕阳下,山上的秋色非常美--红色、棕色、黄色交相辉映。

但福尔摩斯对此视而不见。

"那么,华生,"他说,"让我们暂时忘记斯特雷克,想想那匹马吧。马是温顺的动物。我们假设'银光'在斯特雷克被杀之后跑了。它跑到这又湿又冷的高沼地上,然后会怎么办呢?"

"它会寻找一处温暖的马厩,"我说,"一个有食有水的地方。"

"对,华生。它没回到金斯皮兰,我们知道这一点,但离这儿不远的地方还有一个马厩,在卡普莱顿。没准它去那儿了。华生,去卡普莱顿的路就是从这儿下山。我们走!"

我们很快下了山,在山脚下,我们发现一条小河,还有一片很湿的地面。

"太好了,"福尔摩斯说,"我正想有块泥地,它就出现了。华生,你沿着河的左岸走。我们找找马蹄铁的痕迹。"

就在50米远的地方,我们发现了马蹄铁的印子。

福尔摩斯从口袋里拿出那块马蹄铁,放在那个蹄印的旁边。

"没错,这就是'银光',毫无疑问。"

我们轻松地追踪着蹄印,有一会儿又失去了它的踪迹,但在离卡普莱顿马厩大约200米的地方,又发现了蹄印。

"在这儿,"我叫道,"看,这儿还有个印记,是一个人的鞋印。"

福尔摩斯蹲下查看。"你说得对,华生。而且这个人是走在马旁边的。"

我们随着二者的脚印一直到了卡普莱顿的马厩。当我们离马厩还有20米远时,一个人出来朝我们大吼。

他满脸通红,怒火万丈。

"走开!我们这儿不欢迎游客!走开!"

"赛拉斯·布朗先生?"福尔摩斯对他说道。

"你们想干什么?"那个人问,"我不接受记者采访,赶快走开。"

"我们不是报社的记者,"福尔摩斯微笑着说,"但你的马厩里有一匹名叫'银光'的马。"

"那不可能!"布朗先生愤怒地说。

"我们能进去谈谈吗?"福尔摩斯说。

他没有等着那人回答,而是抓住他的胳膊,快步走向大门。

他回头看看我,从容地说:"华生,在这儿等我。"

20分钟后,他们又出来了。

福尔摩斯看上去很满意,赛拉斯·布朗先生完全变了个人。

他看上去矮了些,也老了些,脸上满是惊恐。

"记住,"福尔摩斯说道,"到那天你一定得准时到,准备好一切。"

"好的,好的,"赛拉斯·布朗连忙说,"你放心吧。好的,你放心。"

"那好,"福尔摩斯说,"那先再见吧。"

福尔摩斯与我开始沿着大路走回金斯皮兰。

"那他藏着那匹马吗?"我问道。

福尔摩斯大笑起来。"没错。他一开始当然说没有。但他害怕警察。他不想让他们知道这件事,而我能帮他应付。"

"但警方为什么没发现那匹马呢?"我问道,"格雷戈里巡官说他们去过卡普莱顿。"

"哦,要改变一匹马的毛色很容易,"福尔摩斯再次大笑起来。"格雷戈里是个好警察,但我认为他对马了解不深。"

"那布朗为什么要告诉你呢?"我说。

"当我跟他一起穿过马厩的时候,"福尔摩斯说,"地上有很多泥,我看见了他留在泥地上的鞋印。你还记得高沼地里的脚印吗?两种鞋印是一样的。然后就简单了,他把一切都告诉了我。那天清早,他在高沼地里发现了'银光',就把它带回了自己的马厩。那匹马很好,只不过现在是另一个颜色。你知道,布朗下了重注,赌德斯伯勒能赢得韦塞克斯杯。如果'银光'不参加比赛的话......"

"但你为什么要把马留在那儿呢?它在他那儿安全吗?"我不明白福尔摩斯的想法。

"亲爱的华生,"福尔摩斯说,"那匹马很安全。赛拉斯·布朗害怕我,害怕警察,害怕失去一切。'银光'一定要参加下周的比赛,否则布朗作为赛马训练师的生涯就完蛋了--布朗明白这一点。"

"罗斯先生不会喜欢这样的。"我说。

"罗斯先生,"福尔摩斯说,"不了解侦探工作。他想今天、现在、立刻就得到答案。因此,他必须得到点儿教训。他得学会等。暂时不要透露关于'银光'的事情,华生。"

我们回到金斯皮兰,发现罗斯先生和格雷戈里巡官都在驯马师家里。

"这是一次很有意思的拜访,"福尔摩斯说,"但我的朋友和我必须乘午夜的火车返回伦敦。"

巡官和罗斯先生瞪着他,我发现福尔摩斯对罗斯先生的判断是对的。

罗斯先生说道:"这么说我们著名的伦敦大侦探找不到杀死可怜的斯特雷克的凶手,也找不到我的马。"

"不错,这个案子很复杂。"福尔摩斯平静地说,"但你的马会参加下星期二的韦塞克斯杯。这一点我敢保证。"

"哼!保证真是妙不可言,"罗斯先生说,"但我更想要回我的马,不想要什么保证。"

福尔摩斯笑了,然后转向格雷戈里巡官。"巡官,能不能给我一张斯特雷克的照片?"

"当然可以。"巡官说。

他从口袋里的一个信封内掏出一张照片,递给福尔摩斯。

该回塔维斯托克了,我们走到屋外。

有一个小马倌在外面,福尔摩斯突然跟他说起话来。

"我看见你们在这儿养了几只羊,在马厩旁边,"他说,"它们还好吗?"

"它们很好,先生,"小马倌说,"但其中两三只有点儿跛。它们上星期开始跛的。"

福尔摩斯对此非常高兴。

他上了马车,对巡官说道:"记住那些跛脚的羊,格雷戈里,记住那些跛脚的羊!"

罗斯先生对羊一点儿兴趣都没有,但巡官盯着福尔摩斯。"你觉得那些羊很重要?"

"对。"福尔摩斯说,"非常重要。"

巡官还瞪着他,马上就来了兴致。

"那你觉得还有什么东西很重要,福尔摩斯先生?"

"狗在那天晚上的奇怪举动。"

"那天晚上狗什么举动都没有。"

"这就是奇怪的地方。"

(Text2)

M: Rose, I've got this terrible cold. And I have to see a doctor. I'm afraid I can't go to the class. Could you help me hand in my lab report to Dr. Davidson?

W: Sure, no problem. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about the class.


(Text3)

M: Marie, if no one takes care of your children while you're away, Jennifer and I will be glad to have them stay with us.

(Text4)

M: Hurry up with your food,Sally. They say there's a big storm coming. We'd better get home before that.

W: Okay, I'm done. Let's get back to the car. Could you carry these shopping bags?

M: Oh, sure.


(Text5)

M: We deep-fried fish three days ago in the kitchen, but the unpleasant smell stays.

W: There is a method you can try.Every time you make coffee, dry the leftover coffee grounds and keep them in small bowls, then place the bowls in the kitchen.


(Text6)

W: Are you a football fan, Gomez?

M: Yes, I go to the stadium whenever there is a good game. And if I can’t get a ticket, I watch the game on TV.That way, they’re less exciting though.

W:  Is the ticket expensive?

M: It depends. It usually costs about 20 to 50 dollars. Last time I paid 25.

W: That’s not very expensive.Maybe we can go together some time.

M: Great. It’ll be more fun to watch the game with a friend.


(Text7)

W: You were out the whole afternoon, Alex. What did you do?

M: I took a walk by myself.

W: You just kept walking and walking for four hours?

W: What did you do in the woods?

M: I smelt the flowers, looked at the birds. And yeah, I picked many tree leaves. I will make bookmarks with them. Look!

W: Aren’t they beautiful?

M: Almost half. I have pictures.Would you like to see them?

W: Yes, sure.

M: Here I am on top of Mount Fuji. And here I am in a hot air balloon.

W: When did you do that? I've always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon.

M: It was two years ago in August in California.

W: What are your plans for the next holiday?

M: I'm thinking of deep-sea diving in Australia. Do you have any other suggestions?

W: You really ought to take a boat down the Amazon. You'll see a lot of interesting animals and beautiful trees. It's one of the best places I've been to.

M: OK. I'll put it on my list.

M: Do you know what's wrong with the car?

W: I'm not exactly sure. I think there is a problem with the engine. Err… I wonder if you could give me a ride to the hotel tomorrow morning.

M: Sure. When shall I be at your place?

W: Well, what about 8 o'clock?From my place to Shelton, we have to drive through the quarters, so we'd better leave early to avoid the traffic.

M: OK. No problem. It takes twenty minutes to reach your place. So I'll set off at 7:40. By the way, do you also need me to drive you home tomorrow afternoon?

W: No, John will be back then,and he'll get me home. Thank you, Michael.

M: That's okay. See you tomorrow.


(Text10)

W: Hello, everyone. Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar, ineffective spoken English. However, most people don't regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They're more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts, by experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange,strange because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names, and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words, it's time to practice reading them every day.

Chapter 3: John Straker's Pockets


"Very interesting." I said.

I gave the papers back to Holmes, and he put them away.

"So,Watson, what can you tell me?" he asked.

I thought for a minute.

"This cut on Straker's leg, perhaps he did it with his own knife. When something hits you very hard on the head, and you have a knife in your hand… It can happen,you know."

"Very good, Watson, and that's bad news for Fitzroy Simpson."

"So,did Simpson do it? do you think?" I said.

"Perhaps,"said Holmes, "Let's look at it. Simpson puts opium in the boy's dinner. He goes away and comes back later in the night. He gets into the stables, takes the horse out, and leaves. But the trainer arrives at that moment, sees him,and follows him. The two men fight, and Simpson breaks Straker's head open with his stick. Then Simpson takes the horse. But where or did the horse run away? Is it still out on the moor? And how did Simpson get into the locked stables? I don't know, Watson, I don't know, we must wait and see."  

When we arrived at Tavistock Station, two men came to meet us.

Inspector Gregory was a tall, slow-moving man with blue eyes.

And Mr. Ross was small and quick.

He was the first to speak, "Very pleased to see you, Mr. Holmes. The Inspector here is working hard, but we need help. We must find poor Straker's killer and I want to find my horse."

"Is there any news?" asked Holmes.

"Let's talk on the way," the Inspector said, "I'd like you to see everything in the daylight."

We were soon out of the little town and upon the brown hills of the moor.

Inspector Gregory thought that the killer was Fitzroy Simpson.

"Simpson was out in the rain that night. His suit was still wet on the Tuesday."he said, "He had a big stick, and his scarf was in the dead man's hand.That looks bad, Mr. Holmes, very bad."

Holmes smiled, "You need more than that, Inspector. The servant Edith,spoke of an envelope, did Simpson say anything about that?"

"Yes,he said it had money in it, a £10 note for the stable boy.  

"What about this other training stables at Capleton?" asked Holmes, "Does Simpson have friends there?"

"No,we don't think so, we went to Capleton of course. Their horse Desbrough is the second favorite for the Wessex Cup, and Silas Brown, the trainer, was not friendly with Straker, but we found nothing when we arrived at King's Pyland."  

Inspector Gregory took us into the trainer's house.

"Straker's body is upstairs," he said, "But we have here the things from his pockets and from the ground next to his body. Would you like to see them, Mr.Holmes?"

"Very much." said Holmes.

We went into the front room, and the Inspector opened a box and put things on a table.

There was a box of matches, a small piece of candle, some money, a watch, some papers and a small thin knife.

"This is a strange knife." Holmes said.

He looked at it carefully and then gave it to me.

"What is it, Watson?"

"It's an eye knife," I said, "Doctors use these when they cut into an eye. You don't usually see them outside a hospital."

"Mm,"said Holmes, "So why did Straker take this knife? It's no good for fighting,"

"His wife says it was in the bedroom for some days," said Inspector Gregory, "Perhaps he just took it, because it was there on the table."

"Perhaps,"said Holmes, "What about these papers?"

"One is a letter from Mr. Ross, the others are bills," the Inspector said, "Three of them are bills for the horse's food, and this one is a bill from a dressmaker in London for a Mr. William Derbyshire. He was a friend of Straker's, his wife tells us. His letters sometimes came here and Straker sent them on."

"Mrs.William Derbyshire is an expensive lady," said Holmes, looking at the bill, "£25 is a lot of money for just one dress and one hat."

He put the bill down and moved to the window.

"Inspector,can we go out on the moor now before the light begins to go?"

We left the room, and at the front door, we saw a woman.

She came up to Inspector Gregory, and put her hand on his arm.

"Is there any news?" She said.

"No,Mrs. Straker, but here is Mr. Holmes-the famous detective from London. We have him to help us now."

"I think I met you a month or two ago, Mrs. Straker," said Holmes, "Let me see… Yes, it was in Plymouth, at a garden party, do you remember?"

"No,sir, that wasn't me."

"But I remember so well… You had a blue dress and a dark blue hat with white flowers on it."

"I don't have a hat with flowers on it, sir. " Mrs. Straker said.

"Well,well, I am wrong, then. I am so sorry,"

Andwith that, Holmes followed the inspector outside.

Thefour of us, then walked past the stables and up onto the moor.

Afterten minutes, Inspector Gregory stopped.

"Herewe are," he said, "Straker's body was down there, his coat was hereon this small tree…"

"Onthe tree, not on the ground?" Holmes asked,

"Oh, no, it was on the tree, carefully away from the mud on the ground."

"Mm.Interesting," said Holmes. "Now I must look at the mud down there."

"Ah," said Inspector Gregory, "And to help you, I have here in this bag one of Straker's shoes, one of Fitzroy Simpson's shoes,and one of Silver Blaze's horseshoes."

"My dear inspector, well done!" Holmes was very pleased, "You'll think of everything for some minutes."

Holmes looked carefully at the ground, his eyes only centimeters away from the mud.

"Hello," he said suddenly, "What's this from out of the mud?"

He took a match, or a small piece of one.

"Now why didn't I find that?" said the inspector.

"I knew it was there, you see." said Holmes.

"You knew, but how could you know that?"

Holmes smiled, but did not answer.

He then took the shoes, got down on the ground, and began to look at all the tracks in the mud.

We stood and watched, but after five minutes Mr. Ross looked at his watch.

"This is very interesting, Mr. Holmes," he said, "But is it going to take a long time?"

"No."said Holmes, he got to his feet.

"I don't need to do any more here. Watson and I are going to take a little walk across the moor now with the horse shoe."

Mr.Ross looked at the Inspector.

"Can we go back to the house and talk? I must take Silver Blaze's name out of the Wessex Cup race, and do it today, I think."

"Don't do that," cried Holmes. "No, no, you must leave the horse's name in for the race."

"But…"Mr. Ross began, then he laughed a little angrily, "Well, thank you, Mr.Holmes, thank you for your help. See you later then at the house."

And he and the inspector walked away.

第三章:约翰·斯特雷克的口袋


"嗯,很有意思,"我说。我把卷案还给福尔摩斯,他将它们收了起来。

"那么,华生,你有什么看法?"他问。

我想了想。"斯特雷克腿上的那个伤口没准是他自己的刀划的。如果有什么东西猛撞你的头,你手上又正好拿着把刀......你知道,很有可能。"

"很好,华生。这对菲茨罗伊·辛普森来说可不是个好消息。"

"那你觉得是辛普森干的吗?"我问道。

"有可能。"福尔摩斯说,"让我们想想,辛普森在那个小马倌的晚餐里下了鸦片。他先离开,夜里晚些时候又回来,进入马厩,把马牵出来,然后逃走。但那时驯马师刚好赶到,看见了他,并紧追不舍。两个人打了起来,辛普森用手杖把斯特雷克的头打开了花。然后辛普森带走了那匹马--但带到哪里去了?还是马自己跑了?它是不是还在高沼地里?还有,辛普森怎么进到上了锁的马厩里的?我不知道,华生,我不知道。我们必须等等看。"

我们到塔维斯托克车站时,有两个人来接我们。

格雷戈里巡官个子高高的,动作缓慢,有一双蓝色的眼睛。

罗斯先生是小个子,性子很急。

他首先开口。"福尔摩斯先生,很高兴见到你。这位巡官很卖力,但我们需要帮助。我们必须找出杀害可怜的斯特雷克的凶手,我还想找到我的马。"

"有什么新的消息吗?"福尔摩斯问道。

"我们在路上说吧,"巡官说,"我想让你趁白天看看所有的情况。"

我们很快就出了小镇,到了沼泽地里的棕色小山上。

格雷戈里巡官认为凶手就是菲茨罗伊·辛普森。

"那天晚上下雨的时候辛普森在外面。他的外套到星期二还是湿的,"他说,"他有一根粗大的手杖,他的围巾又在死者手里。看上去不妙,福尔摩斯先生,非常不妙。"

福尔摩斯笑了笑。"你还需要更多证据,巡官。那个佣人,伊迪丝,提到了一个信封。辛普森对此说了什么吗?"

"说了,他说里边有钱--一张十英镑的钞票,给小马倌的。"

"卡普莱顿的另一个训练马厩情形怎么样?"福尔摩斯问道,"辛普森在那儿有没有什么朋友?"

"没有,我们以为没有。当然,我们也去了卡普莱顿。他们的马,德斯伯勒,是韦塞克斯杯的第二大热门,驯马师赛拉斯·布朗跟斯特雷克关系不好。但我们没发现什么。"

我们到达金斯皮兰以后,格雷戈里巡官把我们带到驯马师的家里。

"斯特雷克的尸体在楼上,"他说,"但我们把他口袋里的东西,还有在他身边地上找到的东西放在这儿。你想看看吗,福尔摩斯先生?"

"很想。"福尔摩斯说。

我们走进前厅,巡官打开一个盒子,把里边的东西放到一张桌子上。有一盒火柴,一小段蜡烛,一些钱,一块表,几张纸,还有一把很薄的小刀。

"这把刀很奇怪,"福尔摩斯说。他仔细地看了看,然后把刀递给我。"这是什么,华生?"

"这是一把眼科手术刀,"我说,"医生给眼睛动手术的时候就用这样的刀。一般在医院外面见不到这样的刀。"

"嗯,"福尔摩斯说,"那斯特雷克拿这刀做什么呢?它并不适合打斗。"

"他妻子说这把刀在卧室里已经放了一段时间了,"格雷戈里巡官说,"也许只是因为它在桌子上,他就顺手拿了。"

"也许,"福尔摩斯说,"那些纸是什么?"

"一张是罗斯先生的信,其他的是账单,"巡官说,"其中有三张是马饲料的账单,这张是伦敦的一个裁缝寄来的账单,是给一个名叫威廉·达比希雷的人的。斯特雷克的妻子告诉我们,他是斯特雷克的朋友。有时他的信会寄到这儿,斯特雷克再转寄出去。"

"威廉·达比希雷夫人是位出手阔绰的女士,"福尔摩斯看着账单说,"一件衣服和一顶帽子就花了25英镑,这可是一大笔钱呢。"

他放下账单,走到窗户边。"巡官,趁着天色还没暗下去,我们能现在去高沼地吗?"

我们离开了房间。在大门口,我们看见一个女人。她走向格雷戈里巡官,拉住他的手臂。

"有什么消息吗?"她问。

"没有,斯特雷克夫人,不过福尔摩斯先生在这儿,他是伦敦来的著名侦探。我们现在有他帮忙了。"

"我想一两个月前我曾经见过你,斯特雷克夫人。"福尔摩斯说,"让我想想......对,是在普利茅斯的一个游园会上。你还记得吗?"

"没有,先生,那不是我。"

"但我记得很清楚......你穿着蓝色的衣服,戴着一顶深蓝色的帽子,上面有白色的花。"

"我没有上面带花的帽子,先生。"斯特雷克夫人说。

"哦,那是我记错了。对不起。"福尔摩斯说着,跟着巡官出了门。

然后,我们四个人经过马厩,走到高沼地上。十分钟后,格雷戈里巡官停了下来。

"就是这儿,"他说,"斯特雷克的尸体就在这儿,他的外套在这边,挂在这棵小树上。"

"在树上?不在地上?"福尔摩斯问道。

"哦,不是。是在树上,小心地避开了地上的泥泞。"

"嗯,真有意思,"福尔摩斯说,"现在,我必须看看那边的泥地。"

"啊,"格雷戈里巡官说,"为了协助你,我在这个包里装了一只斯特雷克的鞋,一只菲茨罗伊的鞋,还有一只'银光'的蹄铁。"

"亲爱的巡官,太棒了!"福尔摩斯非常高兴。"你考虑得真周到。"

福尔摩斯仔细地检查了地面足足几分钟,他的眼睛离泥地只有几厘米。

"噢!"他突然说道,"这是什么?"

他从泥里捡起一根火柴,或者说是一小截火柴棍。

"我怎么就没发现呢?"巡官说。

"我知道它会在这儿,你瞧。"福尔摩斯说。

"你知道?但你怎么可能知道呢?"

福尔摩斯笑了笑,但没回答。

然后他拿起那些鞋,趴在地上,开始查看地上所有的痕迹。

我们站在那儿看着他,但五分钟后,罗斯先生看了看表。

"呃,这很有意思,福尔摩斯先生,"他说,"但是不是还要很长时间?"

"不会。"福尔摩斯说。

他站了起来。"我不用再在这儿做什么了。现在华生和我要在高沼地里走走,带着这块马蹄铁。"

罗斯先生看着巡官,"我们能回房子里谈谈吗?我得把'银光'的名字从韦塞克斯杯的参赛名单里撤下来--我想,今天就得这么做。"

"别那么做!"福尔摩斯叫道,"不,不,你必须把马的名字留在参赛名单里。"

"但是......"罗斯先生开了个头,然后有点儿恼火地笑了起来。"啊,谢谢,福尔摩斯先生。谢谢你的帮助。那就过一会儿在家里见。"

然后他跟巡官一起走了。

【听力原文】


(Text1)

W: How's school today, Dave?

M: Great. I got an A on my chemistry exam, a B on essay writing, and our teacher said we'd go camping tomorrow

.

(Text2)

M: Hello Olivia, I haven't seen you for some time. What are you reading?

W: Just checking the job page of the local newspaper.


(Text3)

M: I've found that many people like to study English on the Internet. How about you?

W: Well, as a matter of fact, I just started taking some courses. It is a good way to improve English.


(Text4)

W: I heard that some airlines had changed their flight restrictions. And I need to find out what they are.

M: There are websites that list the general restrictions. You may have a look there.


(Text5)

W: Jason, how long have you been with this company?

M: Five months this week. 

W: I would say that's enough time to learn that we have rules here. Why didn't you report before you made the decision?


(Text6)

M: How about driving to the beach this weekend?

W: There are too many people there. I prefer a picnic in the woods or by the lake.

M: Then let's go to the lake. It’s just an hour's drive from here. We can bike around the lake and swim after the picnic lunch.

W: You're always so sporty. Bring your bike if you like. But I will bring a good book with me.


(Text7)

W: Mr. Smith, I was wondering if I could change my major from biology to political science or psychology.

M: Which year are you in?

W: Second term, year two. 

M: Okay. But these majors are very different. You probably will have to take more classes and prepare for more exams. And you would be graduating a year later. 

W: Oh no! I hate graduating later than all my friends. I'd better stick to my present major then.


(Text8)

W: Hey Mark, I'm putting you on anew project. You have to go to California.

M: What should I do there?

W: You have to collect and review the sales data from all the branch stores. If you find something missing, work with their sales managers to get the information you need to complete the analysis.

M: Sounds like a lot of work.

W: It's a pretty big project, so take someone with you. I think you can finish in a week if the two of you are working on it.

M: When should we start off?

W: You needn't hurry so much.I'll give you two days for preparations and packing up.

M: Who should I get in touch with when I get there?

W: Lisa. I'll email you the necessary information. 

M: Who do you suggest should go with me?

W: Either Jack or Peter. 

M: Let's say Peter. He's just finished his project, and he is more experienced.

W: Great. Keep me updated.


(Text9)

W: Good evening. Welcome to Around The Globe with Susan Davidson. Our guest today is Charlie Hamilton, a photographer who spent a month and a half in the Amazon. He's going to share with us the challenges and responsibilities of his work. Charlie, the Amazon people have rarely seen people from outside, and you look so different. How do you approach them?

M: That's true, but if you spend enough time, you get to know them. Actually, we can laugh about the same things even if we can't talk.

W: One of your pictures I really like shows the villagers and you together by a river, laughing. They're seeing no barrier at all.

M: Indeed. That was only a couple of days after I went there, but everyone was just relaxed with me. We're all having fun. In fact, what I like most is everyone's laughing. Nowadays, we tend to show the unhappy side of people's life in the Amazon. The trees are being cut down, and these people are sad. But what I want to show is they still have fun.

W: That's a really special point of view. Thank you for letting us get closer to our fellow beings around the globe.


(Text10)

W: Hi everyone. It is raining now. We have to give up our plans for a boat trip along the River Thames and walk along the south bank. But the good news is we still have a huge selection of world-class museums. And many of them are free for visitors. You know, the UK's capital isn't a bad place to spend a rainy day. So our rainy tour of London's museums today starts in the science and national history museums of west London and finishes at the National Gallery. We'll start our museum tour in the heart of London, South Kensington. South Kensington is well known for its old buildings, fantastic restaurants, and many designer shops. But the real reason visitors flood here is for the chance to experience three of the city's best museums: Victoria and Albert Museum, the National History Museum, and the Science Museum. All of them happen to be within walking distance from one another, so you won't get wet. Today, it happens to be the last Thursday of the month, so we can enjoy free guided tours, talks, and events at the National History Museum. Remember, we have to leave there at 1:00 p.m. Finally, we'll arrive at the National Gallery. It's an 1800's building, home to over 2000 works of art by famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.
