Elizabeth was now to see Mr. Wickham for the last time. Having been frequently in company with him since her return, agitation was pretty well over; the agitations of formal partiality entirely so. She had even learnt to detect, in the very gentleness which had first delighted her, an affectation and a sameness to disgust and weary. In his present behaviour to herself, moreover, she had a fresh source of displeasure, for the inclination he soon testified of renewing those intentions which had marked the early part of their acquaintance could only serve, after what had since passed, to provoke her.现在轮到伊丽莎白和韦翰先生最后一次会面了。她自从回家以后，已经见过他不少次，因此不安的情绪早就消失了；她曾经为了从前对他有过情意而感到不安，这种情绪现在更是消失得无影无踪。他以前曾以风度文雅而搏得过她的欢心，现在她看出了这里面的虚伪做作，陈腔滥调，觉得十分厌恶。他目前对待她的态度，又造成了她不愉快的一个新的根源；他不久就流露出要跟她重温旧好的意思，殊不知经过了那一番冷暖之后，却只会使她生气。She lost all concern for him in finding herself thus selected as the object of such idle and frivolous gallantry; and while she steadily repressed it, could not but feel the reproof contained in his believing, that however long, and for whatever cause, his attentions had been withdrawn, her vanity would be gratified, and her preference secured at any time by their renewal.她发觉要跟她谈情说爱的这个人，竟是一个游手好闲的轻薄公子，因此就不免对他心灰意冷；而他居然还自以为只要能够重温旧好，便终究能够满足她的虚荣，获得她的欢心，不管他已经有多久没有向她献过殷勤，其中又是为了什么原因，都不会对事情本身发生任何影响。她看到他那种神气，虽然表面上忍住了气不作声，可是心里却正在对他骂不绝口。1.be in company with sb. 陪伴某人When Tom fell ill,his girlfriend is in company with him.Tom生病时，他的女友陪伴着他。2.be selected as 被选为She is selected as the monitor of her class.她被作为班长。3.at any time 任何时候He is likely to arrive at any time.他可能随时会到。 Article/201201/168095
We Profile Five Special People Who Died This YearWritten by Katherine Gypson and Caty Weaver (THEME)VOICE ONE:I’m Faith Lapidus.VOICE TWO:And I’m Steve Ember with People in America in VOA Special English. Today we tell about five special people who died during the past year. We start with Johnny Carson. For millions of Americans, Johnny Carson was the last voice they heard before going to sleep at night. (THEME) VOICE ONE:That was the music of the popular late night television show called “The Tonight Show.” Johnny Carson became host of the show in nineteen sixty-two. Johnny Carson Carson was almost thirty-seven years old when he took over the show. But he had been entertaining people since he was a child. He was born in Corning, Iowa in nineteen twenty-five.As a young boy, Johnny discovered he was good at telling stories. He also became interested in magic. He performed his first public magic show when he was fourteen. He called himself “The Great Carsoni.”Johnny Carson began his career in television in his twenties. He worked at local stations in Nebraska. Several years later, he moved to Los Angeles, California. He was the host on several comedy shows during the nineteen fifties. VOICE TWO:But it was “The Tonight Show” that made Johnny Carson famous for thirty years. He became the most popular star of American television. He was called “the king of late night.” Critics said Americans from all parts of the country liked him and felt they knew him. Carson seemed to be more like the people who watched his show than the actors, singers and other famous people who appeared on it. He did not take his fame seriously. For example, when asked how he became a “star,” he answered: “I started in a gaseous state and I cooled.”Carson’s special skill was his sense of humor. Audiences laughed at the jokes he made at the beginning of his show. However, sometimes they laughed even harder at the jokes that failed. He was the most powerful performer on television. Many comedians and singers became successful after appearing on “The Tonight Show.”Johnny Carson retired in nineteen ninety-two. He received many awards during his life. Carson died in January at the age of seventy-nine. (MUSIC)VOICE ONE:“The Last of the Mohicans” is a famous nineteenth century historical novel. It ends with the death of the last Native American from the Mohegan tribe. Gladys Tantaquidgeon, the most honored member of the tribe, let people know that the book was just a story. In fact, her tribe has about one thousand seven hundred members. No one did more to protect the traditions and beliefs of the Mohegans than Tantaquidgeon. She was born in eighteen ninety-nine in Uncasville, Connecticut. Gladys was educated in traditional Native American ways. The oldest members of the tribe taught the young girl herbal medicine, crafts and stories about Mohegan history. Tantaquidgeon went on to study anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. She wrote books about Native American medicine and traditional beliefs. VOICE TWO:In nineteen thirty-one she started the Tantaquidgeon Indian Museum in Connecticut. Today, it is the oldest museum in the country operated by Native Americans. Many schoolchildren have learned about Native American history at the museum.Gladys Tantaquidgeon collected the tribal documents that helped the Mohegan regain official recognition from the federal government in nineteen ninety-four. Tantaquidgeon also served as the tribe’s medicine woman. She was only the third woman to do so since eighteen fifty-nine. Gladys Tantaquidgeon died in November at the age of one hundred six. Leaders from many Native American tribes said she was a great woman who carried out her goal of making sure that the history and culture of the Mohegan tribe survived.(MUSIC) VOICE ONE:John H. Johnson was born in nineteen eighteen to a poor family in the state of Arkansas. He later owned the world’s largest black-owned publishing company. And he was one of the richest African-American businessmen in the country. He died in March at the age of eighty-seven. People of all races mourned the man who had given African-Americans a voice by creating several very successful magazines. John H. Johnson John Johnson’s mother believed that her son would grow up to be a great man. She moved the family to Chicago, Illinois so he could get a better education. Johnson attended the University of Chicago and went to work at an insurance company. VOICE TWO:In nineteen forty-two when he was just twenty-four years old, Johnson had an idea for a new kind of magazine, the Negro Digest. It would give African-Americans news about political, business and social issues. He used a five hundred dollar loan to start the magazine and worked hard to make it popular. Johnson believed that African-Americans needed to see positive images of themselves in the American media. He later started two other successful magazines, Ebony and Jet. Johnson published books, owned radio stations and other companies. He also operated an organization that raised millions of dollars to help African-American students attend college. John Johnson believed that his life was proof that hard work could overcome almost any problem and open almost any door. (MUSIC)VOICE ONE:That was “Missus Robinson” a song about a character from the popular nineteen sixty-seven movie “The Graduate.” Anne Bancroft played Missus Robinson, a woman who starts a sexual relationship with a young man. She often said she was surprised that people remembered that one role when she had acted in more than fifty movies and plays. Her Italian immigrant parents named her Anna Maria Louisa Italiano when she was born in the Bronx, New York in nineteen thirty-one. From an early age, Anna knew that she wanted to become an actress. She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. VOICE TWO:Anne Bancroft went to Hollywood, California in nineteen fifty. The head of a movie studio changed her last name to Bancroft. She starred in a series of low budget movies. She also appeared in plays on Broadway in New York City. One of them was “The Miracle Worker.”She played the teacher of the famous writer Helen Keller. In nineteen sixty-three, Bancroft won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the film of “The Miracle Worker.” Anne Bancroft was one of the most honored actresses of her time. She died in June at age seventy-three. The director Mike Nichols praised her intelligence, humor, honesty and sense. (MUSIC)VOICE ONE:Writer and historian Shelby Foote wrote a series of best-selling books about the American Civil War. His storytelling skills brought the Civil War to life for millions of ers. He died in June at the age of eighty-eight. Foote had mixed feelings about the American South. He was troubled by discrimination against African-Americans but also felt a great loyalty to his Southern ancestry.Shelby Foote was born in Greenville, Mississippi in nineteen sixteen. He loved ing and listening to stories about his ancestors who fought in the Civil War. He served in the ed States Army and worked as a reporter. Then Foote wrote several fiction novels about American Southern life.In the nineteen fifties, Shelby Foote began writing a three-book history of the Civil War. He wrote quickly, using an old-fashioned pen dipped in ink. It took him twenty years to complete the books. Together, they had more than one million words. VOICE TWO:Readers loved his way of writing about famous historical American leaders and generals as though they were characters in a novel. He became even better known in nineteen-ninety when he appeared in Ken Burns’s popular television series about the Civil War. Foote had a strong southern accent. He told stories about Civil War battles as though he himself had been there. At the end of his life, Foote was one of the most famous historians in the ed States. When asked if he liked being famous, Foote answered: “It’s fun…but I’m dead set against all the hoo-rah.”(THEME)VOICE ONE:This program was written by Katherine Gypson and Caty Weaver.

Article/200803/29887“的确稀奇，”韦翰回答道：“归根结底来说，差不多他的一切行动都是出于傲慢，傲慢成了他最要好的朋友。照说他既然傲慢，就应该最讲求道德。可是人总免不了有自相矛盾的地方，他对待我就是意气用事多于傲慢。”;We were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest part of our youth was passed together; inmates of the same house, sharing the same amusements, objects of the same parental care. MY father began life in the profession which your uncle, Mr. Phillips, appears to do so much credit to--but he gave up everything to be of use to the late Mr. Darcy and devoted all his time to the care of the Pemberley property. He was most highly esteemed by Mr. Darcy, a most intimate, confidential friend. Mr. Darcy often acknowledged himself to be under the greatest obligations to my father#39;s active superintendence, and when, immediately before my father#39;s death, Mr. Darcy gave him a voluntary promise of providing for me, I am convinced that he felt it to be as much a debt of gratitude to HIM, as of his affection to myself. ;;How strange!; cried Elizabeth. ;How abominable! I wonder that the very pride of this Mr. Darcy has not made him just to you! If from no better motive, that he should not have been too proud to be dishonest--for dishonesty I must call it. ;;It IS wonderful, ; replied Wickham, ;for almost all his actions may be traced to pride; and pride had often been his best friend. It has connected him nearer with virtue than with any other feeling. But we are none of us consistent, and in his behaviour to me there were stronger impulses even than pride. ;;Can such abominable pride as his have ever done him good?;;Yes. It has often led him to be liberal and generous, to give his money freely, to display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the poor. Family pride, and FILIAL pride--for he is very proud of what his father was--have done this. Not to appear to disgrace his family, to degenerate from the popular qualities, or lose the influence of the Pemberley House, is a powerful motive. He has also BROTHERLY pride, which, with SOME brotherly affection, makes him a very kind and careful guardian of his sister, and you will hear him generally cried up as the most attentive and best of brothers. ;;What sort of girl is Miss Darcy?;He shook his head. ;I wish I could call her amiable. It gives me pain to speak ill of a Darcy. But she is too much like her brother--very, very proud. As a child, she was affectionate and pleasing, and extremely fond of me; and I have devoted hours and hours to her amusement. But she is nothing to me now. She is a handsome girl, about fifteen or sixteen, and, I understand, highly accomplished. Since her father#39;s death, her home has been London, where a lady lives with her, and superintends her education. ; Article/201107/146262Meavwhile Angel Clare returned to his hotel，and sat for a while over breakfast，staring into space．同时，安吉尔·克莱尔回到了他的旅馆，整顿早餐他就坐在那儿，死死地盯着前方。A note arrived from his mother，saying that his brother Cuthbert was going to marry Mercy Chant．他的母亲来了封短信，说他的哥哥卡斯伯特就要同默茜·钱特结婚了。Clare threw away the paper．At last he got up，paid the bill and went to the railway station But he could not sit patiently and wait for the next train，in an hour#39;s time．克莱尔把信扔掉了。最后他站了起来，付清了账，走到了火车站。He had nothing to wish for in life，and nobody to love He was in no hurry，but just wanted to get out of that town as soon as possible．可是他无法耐心地坐在那里等下一趟火车，那得花一个小时。他对生活已不抱任何希望，也没有人可以爱了。他有充裕的时间，但只想尽快地离开这个城镇。So he started walking along the road out of town．The road was open，and dropped down to cross a valley．于是他开始沿着出城的马路走着。这条路很开阔，顺着下来，横穿过一座山谷。When he was climbing the far side of the valley，he stopped for breath，and something made him turn round．当他在山谷远处的那头爬行时，他停下来喘口气，有什么东西促使他转过身去。There was a small black figure in the distance－a human figure，running Clare waited．远处有个小小的黑影——是一个人的身影，正在跑着。克莱尔等待着。It looked like a woman，but he never imagined that it could be his wife until she came close and he saw it was less．像是一个女人，可是克莱尔一点都没想到这可能是他的妻子。直到她走近了，他才认出来，那是苔丝。‘I saw you—turn on to the road－from the station—and I#39;ve been following you all this way！’She was pale，breathless and trembling．“我看到你——转身上了马路——从火车站——我一直跟了你这么远！”她脸色苍白，上气不接下气，还有些发抖。He did not question her but took her arm and helped her along．They took a footpath under some trees，to avoid being seen．他没有问什么，挽着她的胳膊，扶着她一起走。他们挑了一条树下的小路走，以免被人看见。‘Angel，’she said，‘do you know why I#39;ve been running after you？To tell you that I#39;ve killed him！’There was a pitiful smile on her white face as she spoke．“安吉尔，”她说，“你知道我为什么一直追赶着你吗？我要告诉你，我杀死他了！”她说话时，苍白的脸上漾出一丝令人怜悯的微笑。‘What!’he cried，thinking her mind was disturbed．“什么！”他尖叫道，认为她神志不清了。‘I don#39;t know how I did it，’she said．‘I had to do it，for you and me，Angel．“我不知道我是怎么做的，”她说，“我必须这么做，安吉尔，为了你，也为了我。I was afraid long ago，when I hit him in the mouth with that heavy glove，that I might kill him one day．很早以前，当我用那只笨重的手套抽他的嘴巴时，我就怕有一天我也许会杀了他。He has come between us and ruined our lives．I never loved him at all，Angel．You believe me，don#39;t you？Oh，why did you go away，when I loved you so much？他插在我们中间，毁了我们的生活。我根本就不爱他，你相信我，是不是？哦，当初，我那么爱你的时候，你为什么离开我啊？But I don#39;t blame you，Angel．Only，will you forgive me now？I could not bear losing you any longer，I had to kill him．Say you love me now，say you do！’不过，我现在并不责怪你，安吉尔。我只是想问你，安吉尔，现在你会宽恕我吗？我不能忍受再失去你，我不得不杀死他。现在，说你爱我吧，说你爱我！”‘Oh，I do love you，Tess，I do．It has all come back！’he said，holding her tightly in his arms．‘But what do you mean，you#39;ve killed him？’“啊，我是爱你的，苔丝，我确实爱你。一切都回来了！”他说着，把她紧紧地搂到怀里。“可是，你的意思是，你杀死他了？”‘He is dead．He heard me crying about you，and he called you rude names．I couldn#39;t bear it．So I killed him．’“他死了。他听见我在哭喊你，就粗鲁地叫骂你的名字，我忍无可忍，于是杀了他。”Eventually Angel came to believe that she probably had killed d#39;Urberville．终于，安吉尔渐渐相信她也许真地杀死了德伯。He was amazed at the strength of her feeling，and this，it seemed，had made her forget the difference between right and wrong．他对她感情的力量感到惊愕，而这，似乎让他忘记了是非的区别。She did not seem to realize what she had done，and laid her head on his shoulder，crying with happiness．她像是根本没有认识到自己做过了什么，把她的头埋在他的肩上，幸福地哭着。He wondered if the bad blood of the d#39;Urbervilles was to blame for this moment of madness．他怀疑是否德伯家族的罪恶血统该为这一刻的疯狂遭受谴责。However，he knew he could not leave her now．She expected him to protect her．然而，他知道，现在他不能离开她，她期待着他来保护她。And at last，Clare felt nothing but love for this passionate，loving wife of his．He kissed her again and again，and held her hand．到最后，克莱尔除了对他热情、忠诚的妻子满怀爱意之外，已感觉不到其他了，他对她吻了又吻，抓起了她的手。‘I won#39;t leave you！I#39;ll protect you as well as I can，my dearest love，whatever you may or may not have done！’“我不会离开你的！我会尽我所能来保护你，最亲爱的宝贝，无论你做过还是没做过任何事情！”They walked on，less turning her head occasionally to look at him．他们继续走着，苔丝不时地转过头看看他，For her he was still perfection，despite his thinness and pale face．He was the one man who had loved her purely，and who believed in her as pure．尽管他的脸庞瘦削苍白，但对她而言，他仍是完美的。他是唯一一个不掺杂质地爱过她、并相信她的纯洁的男人。Their arms around each other#39;s waists，they walked through the woods on lonely footpaths，taking care not to meet anybody．他们互相揽着对方的腰，在树林中孤寂的小径上穿行，小心翼翼地避开任何人。They did not talk much，being content to be together at last．他们谈得不多，对于终于能够团聚感到心满意足。‘Where shall we go？’asked Tess．“我们要去哪儿？”苔丝问道。‘I don#39;t know．Perhaps we could find a cottage to stay in tonight．Can you walk a long way，Tessy？’“我不知道。也许我们能找到一间今晚住的小屋，苔丝，你能走远路吗？”‘Oh yes！I could walk for ever with your arm around me！’ At midday Angel went to a public house and brought food and wine back to where Tess was waiting in the woods for him．“哦，我能！有你的手臂搂着我，我可以永远地走下去！”到了中午时分，安吉尔到一个酒店买了此食物和酒回来，苔丝就在树林里等着他。Her clothes were so fashionable that the country people would have noticed her．她的衣这么时新，会引起乡下人注意的。‘I think we should keep walking inland，away from the coasts，said Clare，as they finished eating．“我认为我们应该继续朝内地走，离开海岸。”当他们吃完东西时，克莱尔说道。‘We can hide there for a while．Later on，when they stop looking for us，we can go to a port and get right out of the country．’“我们可以在那儿躲藏一段时间。之后，等他们停止搜寻我们的时候，我们可以到一个港口，径直逃离这个国家。”But their plans were vague．They were like two children，who think only of the moment．可是他们的打算是含糊的。他们就像两个孩于，只考虑到眼前的情况。The weather was warm and they enjoyed walking together．However，in the afternoon they did nut find any suitable cottages to stay in，and it was too cold to sleep outside．天气暖洋洋的，他们乐于一起走着。然而，到了下午，他们还没找到一间可以住的房子，睡在外面又太冷了。They had walked about fifteen miles，when they passed a large empty house in the middle of the woods．当他们大约走了十五英里时，他们在树林中央经过了一幢空荡荡的大房子。‘All those rooms empty！’said Tess，‘and we have no shelter！’“所有的房间都是闲置着的！”苔丝说，“而我们连个可以遮蔽的地方都没有！”‘We can stay the night there，’said Clare．‘Look，there#39;s a window open．The caretaker probably airs the rooms in the daytime．We can climb in．Nobody will know．’“我们今晚可以待在这儿！”克莱尔说道。“看，那儿有个窗户开着。看管人可能在白天让房子通通风。我们可以爬进去，没有人知道的。”And so they did．They chose a bedroom with heavy old－fashioned furniture and a huge old bed．于是他们爬了进去。他们选择的那间卧室摆放着式样古老的家具和一张宽大的旧床。They kept quiet while the caretaker came to shut the windows in the evening．Then the house was theirs．晚上，当看管人来关窗户时，他们就保持安静，没有发出声响。之后，这幢房子就属于他们了。They ate some of the food they had brought，and went to bed in total darkness．他们吃了一些带来的食物之后，就在一团漆黑中上床睡觉了。During the night she told him about his sleepwalking just after their wedding．夜里，她对他说了婚礼后他梦游的事。‘You should have told me at the time！’“那个时候你就应该告诉我！”‘Don#39;t think of the past！Think of the present．Tomorrow may mean the end of our happiness．’“别想过去的事了，想想现在吧！明天也许就是我们幸福的终结。”But when tomorrow came it was wet and foggy．It seemed that the caretaker only came on fine days，so they were alone in the house．可是第二天的天气很潮湿，雾气蒙蒙的。看来那个看管人只在天气晴朗的日子才来，因此，他们单独住在房子里。They had enough food and wine，and stayed there for the next five days．It was the honeymoon they had never had．他们有足够的食物和酒，接下来又住了五天。这段时间成了他们以前没有享受过的蜜月。They had no contact with people，and only noticed changes in the weather．Neither mentioned the depressing period from their wedding－day to the present．他们和外界没有任何联系，能注意到的只是天气的变化。他们谁也不提婚后到现在那一段忧郁的日子。They lived for the moment，and were completely happy．When Angel suggested leaving their shelter and travelling to a port like Southampton or London，Tess was unwilling．他们为眼前活着，非常非常地幸福。安吉尔提议离开这个临时的避难所，前往像南安普顿或伦敦这样的港口城市，可苔丝不愿意。‘Why put an end to sweetness and happiness？Outside，everything is confused and sad．Here，we are quite content．“为什么要结束甜蜜和幸福？在外面，一切都是那么混乱和悲伤。在这儿，我们十分满足。”Angel agreed．Inside was forgiveness and love：outside was eventual punishment．安吉尔同意了。里面只有宽恕和爱情；而外面是最后的惩罚。‘And…’she said，putting her cheek against his，‘I want you to go on loving me．I#39;m afraid you might reject me one day for what I#39;ve done．“还有……”她把她的脸颊贴着他的，说道，“我要你继续爱我。我害怕有一天你会因为我所做的事抛弃我。Then I would rather be dead．I must have been mad to kill him！But I don#39;t want to be alive when you reject me for it．’那样，我情愿死去。我一定是疯了，我把他杀死了！可是如果你因此抛弃我，那我也不想活了。”They stayed for one more day，but the caretaker came early that fine sunny morning．他们又待了一天。但是在那个阳光明媚的早晨，看管人来了。She wanted to open the windows in the bedrooms，which she did not usually do，and opened their bedroom door．她想把卧室的窗户打开——她平时不经常这么做——就打开了他们卧室的门。She saw the young couple lying in the big bed，fast asleep，and hurried away to tell her neighbours．她看到这对年轻的夫妇躺在那张大床上，酣睡着，就赶紧去告诉她的邻居们。Tess and Angel woke soon after，and decided to leave immediately．They dared not stay any longer．When they were in the woods Tess turned to look at the house．苔丝和安吉尔很快就醒了，决定立即离开。他们不敢再多停留一会儿。他们到了树林里，苔丝回头看了看那幢房子。‘So much happiness in that house！’she whispered．‘My life can only be a question of a few weeks．Why couldn#39;t we have stayed there？’“那座房子里有那么多的幸福！”她轻声说道，“我的性命也不过是几个星期的事情了，为什么我们不能留在那儿？”‘Don#39;t say that，Tess！We#39;ll go northwards and get to a port．They won#39;t find us．’“别这么说，苔丝！我们朝北走，到达一个港口，他们不会找到我们的。”They kept going all day and most of the night，passing the cathedral city of Melchester and reaching open land．他们赶了整整一个白天和几乎整个晚上的路程，经过了教堂城市梅尔切斯特，到了一片开阔的平原。It was a windy，cloudy night．They walked on grass，so as not to make any noise on the road．They were alone and in darkness．这是一个多云、有风的夜晚。他们为了避免在路上发出任何声响，就在草地上走。黑暗中只有他们两个人。Suddenly，Clare almost bumped into a great stone rising up in front of him．突然，安吉尔几乎猛地撞上了一块竖在他面前的巨石。Moving forwards carefully，they found other stones，standing tall and black against the night sky．他们小心翼翼地朝前移动着，又发现了其他石头，在夜晚的苍穹下，高高地、黑黑地矗立着。‘What on earth is this place？’Clare asked．“这到底是什么地方？”克莱尔问。‘Listen！’cried Tess．“听！”苔丝叫道。The wind，playing on the huge stones，produced a strange tune，like the notes of a great harp．The couple walked slowly into the middle of the great circle of stones．风在这些巨石上弹奏着，发出一种奇怪的音调，就像一架巨大的竖琴演奏出的乐章。这两个人慢慢地走到了这些石头环绕着的一个大圆圈的中央。‘It#39;s Stonehenge！’cried Clare．“这是巨石阵！”克莱尔叫道。‘The pagan temple？’“异教徒神庙？”‘Yes．Older than the centuries；Older than the d#39;Urbervilles！’“是的，比世纪还要古老，比德伯家族还要古老！”‘Let#39;s stay here tonight，Angel，’said Tess，lying down on a flat stone which was still warm from the day#39;s sunshine．“安吉尔，我们今晚就待在这儿吧！”苔丝说着，躺在了一块平坦的石头上，石头还留有白天日照时吸收的余温。‘We#39;d better not．This place can be seen for miles in daylight．’“最好不要。白天，几英里外都能看见这个地方！”‘I feel at home here，’murmured Tess．‘You used to say at Talbothays that I was a pagan，do you remember？’“在这儿我觉得很自在，”苔丝低声说，“你过去在塔尔勃塞常常说我是个异教徒，你记起来了吗？”He bent over her and kissed her．他俯下身，亲吻她。‘Sleepy，are you，dearest？’“亲爱的，困了，是吗？”‘I love it here，’she said．‘I have been so happy with you．And here I have only the sky above my face．There is nobody in the world except us two．’“我喜欢这儿，”她说，“和你在一起，我是这么幸福。在这儿，我的上方只有天空，在这个世界里，只有我们两个人。”Clare thought she could rest a while here．He put his coat over her，and lay down beside her．克莱尔心想，她可以在这儿休息一会儿，他把自己的外套盖在她的身上，在她身边躺了下来。‘Angel，’she asked presently，as they listened to the wind among the stones，‘if anything happens to me，will you take care of Liza－Lu？’“安吉尔，”后来，在他们倾听着石头之间的风声对她问道，“如果我有什么不测，你愿意照顾丽莎-露吗？”‘I will．’“我愿意。”She is so good and pure．Oh Angel，I wish you would marry her if you lose me，as you will do soon ‘If I lose you，I lose everything．’“她是那么贤惠纯洁，哦，安吉尔，如果你失去我——你不久就会失去我的，我希望你能娶她。”‘She has all the best of me without my bad side，and if she were yours，it would almost seem as if we were not separated by death．Well，I won#39;t mention it again．’“如果我失去你，我就失去了一切。”“她具有一切我最好的东西，却没有我坏的一面。如果她属于你了，那么几乎就好像死亡没把我们分开一样。好了，我不再提它了。”There was silence for a while．Angel could see the first light in the east．They had not much time．有一会儿，他们都默不作声。安吉尔能看到东方亮起了第一道曙光。他们没有多少时间了。‘Did they sacrifice to God here？’she asked“他们是在这儿祭献上帝吗？”她问。‘No，to the sun．’“不，祭献太阳。”‘That reminds me，dear．Tell me，do you think we shall meet again after we are dead？I want to know．“这倒提醒我了，亲爱的，告诉我，你认为我们死后还会相遇吗？我想知道。”He kissed her to avoid replying．他吻她，想避开这个问题。‘Oh Angel，that means no！’she almost sobbed．‘And I so wanted to see you again－so much，so much！Not even you and I，Angel，who love each other so much？’“哦，安吉尔，那就是说不能！”她几乎要哭了。“我是那么地想要再见到你——那么强烈，那么强烈！安吉尔，连你和我，两个爱得这么深的人都不能吗？”He could not answer．Soon she fell asleep on the stone of sacrifice The night wind died away，and the stones looked black in the half－light．他无法回答，很快，她在那块祭礼石上睡着了。夜里的风渐渐消逝了，从蒙蒙的光线中，那些石头看起来黑乎乎的。Something seemed to move in the distance．It was a figure approaching Stonehenge．Clare wished they had gone on，but it was too late．远处，像是有什么东西在移动。是一个朝巨石阵靠近的身影。克莱尔真希望他们已经上路了，可是太晚了。He turned，and saw another，and another．They were uniformed men，closing in on Tess with slow purposeful steps．Clare jumped up wildly，looking round for a way to escape．他转过头，看到了另外一个人，还有一个。这些穿着制的人，有目的地缓缓地向苔丝靠近。克莱尔疯狂地跳了起来，环顾四周，想找条逃脱的路。‘It#39;s no use，sir，’said the nearest policeman．‘We#39;ve surrounded the place．’“这没用，先生。”离得最近的那个警察说，“我们已经包围了这个地方。”‘Let her finish her sleep！’he begged in a whisper，as the men gathered round the stone．He held her hand．“让她睡完觉吧！”当警察们聚集到石头周围时，他低声请求道。他抓住她的手，She was breathing more like a trapped animal than a woman．All waited in the growing light，their faces and hands silver，the stones grey．When the light was strong，she awoke．她的呼吸更像一只落入陷阱的动物发出的，而不是一个女人发出的。所有的人都在越来越明亮的曙光中等待着，他们的脸和手成了银白色的，石块是灰色的。当光线强烈起来时，她醒了。‘What is it，Angel？’she said，sitting up．‘Have they come for me？’“什么事呀，安吉尔？”她说着，坐了起来。“他们来找我了吗？”‘Yes，dearest，they have．’“是的，宝贝，他们来了。”‘That is right．I am almost glad．This happiness could not have lasted！’“那就对了。我简直感到很高兴，这种幸福本来就不可能持久。”She stood up and went towards the waiting men．‘I am y，’she said quietly．她站了起来，朝那些等候的警察走去，“我准备好了。”她平静地说。One July morning the sun shone on two figures climbing the hill leading out of the fine city of Wintoncester．7月的一个早晨，在一座从美好的温顿塞斯特城延伸出来的小山上，阳光正照耀在两个爬山人的身上。They were young but they walked bent in sorrow．One was Angel Clare，the other Tess#39;s younger sister，Liza－Lu．Hand in hand，with pale，tear－stained faces，they walked in silence．他们很年轻，但是因悲痛而伏下身去走着。一位是安吉尔·克莱尔，另一位是苔丝的，丽莎-露，他们手牵着手，脸色苍白，泪痕满面地默默前行。When they reached the top of the hill，they heard the town clocks strike eight．They turned quickly and looked back at the city．当他们到达山顶时，他们听到教区的钟声敲打了八下。他们迅速转身，眺望着这个城市。They could see the cathedral，the college and the prison very clearly．A tall post was fixed to the prison tower．他们可以清楚地看到教堂、大学，还有监狱。一根高高的旗杆竖立在监狱塔楼上方。A few minutes after eight，as they watched，a black flag moved slowly up the post．8点过了几分，他们看到一面黑旗缓缓升上旗杆。The gods had finished playing with Tess．Society had seen ‘justice’done．Her d#39;Urberville ancestors slept on in their tombs，uncaring．神明对苔丝的戏弄就此告终了，世人看到正义得到了伸张。她的德伯祖先沉睡在他们的坟墓中，漠不关心。The two silent watchers dropped to the ground and stayed there without moving for a long time．两位沉默的观众跌倒在了地上，久久地没有动弹。The flag waved in the wind．As soon as they had strength，they stood up，joined hands again，and continued slowly on their way．旗子在风中飘展着。一有了力气，他们就站了起来，重新手挽着手，继续慢慢地走上了他们的路程。 Article/201203/175672
11When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family. 2But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed. 3He remained hidden with his nurse at the temple of the Lord for six years while Athaliah ruled the land. 4In the seventh year Jehoiada sent for the commanders of units of a hundred, the Carites and the guards and had them brought to him at the temple of the Lord . He made a covenant with them and put them under oath at the temple of the Lord . Then he showed them the king's son. 5He commanded them, saying, "This is what you are to do: You who are in the three companies that are going on duty on the Sabbath-a third of you guarding the royal palace, 6a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple- 7and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king. 8Station yourselves around the king, each man with his weapon in his hand. Anyone who approaches your ranks must be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes." 9The commanders of units of a hundred did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men-those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty-and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10Then he gave the commanders the spears and shields that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of the Lord . 11The guards, each with his weapon in his hand, stationed themselves around the king-near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple. 12Jehoiada brought out the king's son and put the crown on him; he presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and shouted, "Long live the king!" 13When Athaliah heard the noise made by the guards and the people, she went to the people at the temple of the Lord . 14She looked and there was the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her robes and called out, "Treason! Treason!" 15Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops: "Bring her out between the ranks and put to the sword anyone who follows her." For the priest had said, "She must not be put to death in the temple of the Lord ." 16So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was put to death. 17Jehoiada then made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people that they would be the Lord 's people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people. 18All the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Then Jehoiada the priest posted guards at the temple of the Lord . 19He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards and all the people of the land, and together they brought the king down from the temple of the Lord and went into the palace, entering by way of the gate of the guards. The king then took his place on the royal throne, 20and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the palace. 21Joash was seven years old when he began to reign. Article/200809/49980The conversation soon turned upon fishing; and she heard Mr. Darcy invite him, with the greatest civility, to fish there as often as he chose while he continued in the neighbourhood, offering at the same time to supply him with fishing tackle, and pointing out those parts of the stream where there was usually most sport. Mrs. Gardiner, who was walking arm-in-arm with Elizabeth, gave her a look expressive of wonder. Elizabeth said nothing, but it gratified her exceedingly; the compliment must be all for herself. Her astonishment, however, was extreme, and continually was she repeating, ;Why is he so altered? From what can it proceed? It cannot be for ME--it cannot be for MY sake that his manners are thus softened. My reproofs at Hunsford could not work such a change as this. It is impossible that he should still love me. ;他们不久就谈到钓鱼，她听见达西先生非常客气地跟他说，他既然住在邻近，只要不走，随时都可以来钓鱼，同时又答应借钓具给他，又指给他看，这条河里通常哪些地方鱼最多。嘉丁纳太太跟伊丽莎白挽着手走，对她做了个眼色，表示十分惊奇。伊丽莎白没有说什么，可是心里却得意极了，因为这番殷勤当然都是为了讨好她一个人。不过她还是极端诧异；她一遍遍地问自己：;他的为人怎么变得这么快？这是由于什么原因？他不见得是为了我，看在我的面上，才把态度放得这样温和吧？不见得因为我在汉斯福骂了他一顿，就会使他这样面目一新吧？我看他不见得还会爱我。;After walking some time in this way, the two ladies in front, the two gentlemen behind, on resuming their places, after descending to the brink of the river for the better inspection of some curious water-plant, there chanced to be a little alteration. It originated in Mrs. Gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found Elizabeth#39;s arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred her husband#39;s. Mr. Darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on together. After a short silence, the lady first spoke. She wished him to know that she had been assured of his absence before she came to the place, and accordingly began by observing, that his arrival had been very unexpected--;for your housekeeper, ; she added, ;informed us that you would certainly not be here till to-morrow; and indeed, before we left Bakewell, we understood that you were not immediately expected in the country.; He acknowledged the truth of it all, and said that business with his steward had occasioned his coming forward a few hours before the rest of the party with whom he had been travelling. ;They will join me early to-morrow,; he continued, ;and among them are some who will claim an acquaintance with you--Mr. Bingley and his sisters.;他们就这样两个女的在前，两个男的在后，走了好一会儿。后来为了要仔细欣赏一些稀奇的水草，便各各分开，走到河边，等到恢复原来位置的时候，前后次序就改变了。原来嘉丁纳太太因为一上午走累了，觉得伊丽莎白的臂膀持不住她的重量，还是挽着自己丈夫走舒些。于是达西先生便代替了她的位置，和她外甥女儿并排走。两人先是沉默了一阵，后来还是先开口说话。她想跟他说明一下，这一次他们是事先打听他不在家然后再到这儿来游览的，因为她一开始就谈起他这次回来非常出人意料。她接下去说：;因为你的管家奶奶告诉我们，你一定要到明天才回来；我们离开巴克威尔以前，就打听到你不会一下子回到乡下来。;他承认这一切都是事实，又说，因为要找帐房有事，所以比那批同来的人早来了几个钟头。接着又说：;他们明天一大早就会和我见面，他们中间也有你认识的人，彬格莱先生和他的们都来了。; Article/201202/172722Slowly， Old Mrs White went back into the house．Her husband looked up and saw something strange in her face.慢慢地，年迈的怀特太太又回到了屋里。她的丈夫打量着她，瞧见她脸上有一种奇怪的表情。;What#39;s the matter?; he asked.;怎么啦？;他问。;Nothing,; his wife answered，and she sat down to finish her breakfast. She began to think about Tom Morris again and suddenly she said to her husband, ;Your friend drank a lot of whisky last night! A monkey#39;s paw! What a story!;;没事儿，;妻子说着就坐下来继续吃她的早餐。她又开始想汤姆;莫里斯的事。突然，她对丈夫说，;昨天晚上你的朋友喝了太多的威士忌！讲了神奇的猴爪！可怕的故事！;Mr White did not answer her because just then the post man arrived． He brought two letters for them;but there was no money in them． After breakfast the two old people forgot about the money and the monkey#39;s paw.怀特先生没有回答她，因为这时候邮差到了，邮差为他们带来了两封信，但里面并没有钱。早餐后，两位老人已忘记了钱和猴爪的事。Later in the day, at about one o#39;clock, Mr and Mrs White sat down to eat and then they began to talk about money again. They did not have very much money, so they often needed to talk about it.这一天晚些时候，大约1点左右，怀特夫妇坐下来吃东西；又开始了有关钱的谈论，他们没有富足的钱，所以他们常常需要谈论钱。;That thirty thousand pounds,; Mrs White said, ;we need it!;;我们需要 30 000英磅。;怀特太太说。;But it didn#39;t come this morning,; her husband answered. ;Let#39;s forget it!;;可今天上午一分钱也没得到，;他丈夫说，;还是让我们忘掉它吧！;Then he said, ;But that thing moved. The monkey#39;s paw moved in my hand! Tom#39;s story was true!;接着，他说，;但那东西确实移动了。猴爪在我的手里动了！汤姆的故事是真的！;;You drank a lot of whisky last night．Perhaps the paw didn#39;t move,; Mrs White answered.;你昨晚喝多了。也许猴爪并未移动。;怀特太太回答道。;It moved!; Mr White cried angrily.;它移动了！;怀特先生恼怒地叫了起来。At first his wife did not answer，but then she said, ;Well， Herbert laughed about it;;开始，他妻子没有理他，好一会儿才说：;赫伯特也嘲笑过这件事。;Suddenly she stopped talking． She stood up and went over to the window.突然，她止住话音，站起来向窗户走去。;What#39;s the matter?; her husband asked.;怎么啦？;她丈夫问。;There#39;s a man in front of our house,; Mrs White answered. ;He#39;s a stranger;very tall;and well－dressed. He#39;s looking at our house... Oh, no... it#39;s OK... He#39;s going away...;;我们的房子前面有一个人，是一个高个子穿着讲究的陌生人，他朝我们这边看，呵，不，好了，他已经走了;;;怀特太太告诉他丈夫。;Come and sit down! Finish eating!; Mr White said.;坐下来，吃完你的饭！;怀特先生说。The old woman did not listen to her husband. ;He isn#39;t going away,; she went on. ;He#39;s coming back. I don#39;t know him;he#39;s a stranger. Yes, he#39;s very well;dressed...;老妇人并没有听丈夫的话。;他没走，;她继续说，;他又回来了，我不认识他，他是陌生人。不错，他穿得很讲究;;;Suddenly Mrs White stopped. She was very excited. ;He#39;s coming to the door... Perhaps he#39;s bringing the money!;突然，怀特太太不说话了，她很兴奋，;他正朝我们的门口走来;;也许他给我们带来了钱！;And she ran out of the room to open the front door.她跑出房间，打开了前门。The tall, well－dressed stranger stood there. For a minute he said nothing, but then he began, ;Good afternoon. I#39;m looking for Mr and Mrs White.;穿着讲究的高个子陌生人站在那儿。他什么也没说。好一会儿，他才开始说话。;下午好，我正要找怀特夫妇。;;Well, I#39;m Mrs White,; the old woman answered. ;What can I do for you?;;哦，我就是怀特太太，;老妇人答道，;我能为你做些什么吗？;At first the stranger did not answer, but then he said, ;Mrs White, I#39;m from Maw and Meggins. Can I come in and talk to you?;陌生人顿了顿才说，;怀特太太，我从莫和麦金森来，我能进去跟您谈谈吗？;Maw and Meggins had a big factory and Herbert White worked there on the machinery.莫和麦金森有一个大工厂，赫伯特;怀特在那儿作机器操作工。;Yes, of course,; Mrs White answered. ;Please come in.;;当然可以，请进吧。;怀特太太答道。The well－dressed stranger came into the little living－room and Mr White stood up.穿着讲究的陌生人进了小客厅，怀特先生站了起来。;Are you Mr White?; the stranger began. Then he went on, ;I#39;m from Maw and Meggins.;;你是怀特先生吗？;陌生人问。他又继续介绍，;我从莫和麦金森来。; Article/201203/175949

A lot of women think so. There are a lot of books about how strange men are. This is rubbish. Men are men, the same as women are women. Of course men are not perfect, no one is. Men actually have done a lot of bad things in the world. All of the wars in history were started and fought by men. They seem to be naturally aggressive and wanting to fight rather than talk. Things are changing though. There was the “1980s man”. Suddenly, men were more human. They helped with the shopping, cooked and did the washing up, and they even cried. We do need men. They are better at ing maps than women and men’s sports are more exciting than women’s sports.
