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.W: That's very kind of you. But they've already left for their Grandma's. You know, Suzy lives close by.(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?M: Actually, it’s not so boring.Walking in the woods is a grand adventure. Your feet can take you to the most amazing places.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: Then I met Bob at the lake. He was fishing while his kids were having a swim.W: Did you talk to him?M: No, I walked on and took a lot of pictures. There’s just so much out there to see.(Text8)W: David, how was your holiday?M: Great, I climbed Mount Fuji.It was really beautiful. Now I can check one more thing off my list.W: Your list?M: Yes. When I was 12, I made a list of things I wanted to do some day.W: That's interesting. How many of the things on your list have you done so far?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.(Text9)W: Hello, Michael.M: Hi, Sarah.W: Are you attending the conference tomorrow morning at the Shelton Hotel?M: Yes. Are you?W: Yeah, but when I arrived home five minutes ago, I found that my car wouldn't start. And John is in Brighton on business.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.

    英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯与赛马》part3

    Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.moor 荒原2.matches 火柴原文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.翻译第三章: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。

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.

    英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯与赛马》part2

    Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.curry 咖喱2.stick 手杖3.opium 鸦片原文Chapter 2: Monday night at King's PylandNotes by Inspector Gregory, after talking to Edith Baxter, Ned Hunter, Mrs. John Straker and Mr. Fitzroy Simpson.On Monday evening, Straker locked the stables at nine o'clock the usual time.Two of the boys then walked up to the trainer's house for their dinner.But the third boy, Ned Hunter, stayed in the stables to watch the horses.At five past nine, the Strakers' servant, a girl called Edith Baxter, carried Ned Hunter's dinner down to the stables.The dinner that night was a hot meat curry.Edith was nearly at the stables, when a man called out to her.He came up to her, and she saw a tall man in a gray suit and a hat, and a red and black scarf.He carried a big walking stick, and Edith felt afraid of him."Where am I?" the man asked, "What is this place?""This is King's Pyland, training stables." she said."Good," said the man, "Now, a stable boy sleeps here every night, is that right? And I think you're taking his dinner to him now."He took an envelope out of his pocket."Please give the boy this and you can have some money for a beautiful new dress."Edith did not take the envelope.She ran past the man to the stables and up to a small open window.She always put the boy's dinner through this window, and Ned Hunter was there,ready to take it."Oh, Ned!" Edith cried, but before she could say any more, the stranger came up behind her."Good evening," he said through the window to the boy, "I want to talk to you.""Who are you, what do you want?" Ned Hunter said."I want to make you rich, boy," the stranger said, "You help me and I help you. You have two horses in for the Wessex Cup- silver Blaze and Bayard. I hear that Bayard is the better horse and that you stable boys are putting your bets on him to win, am I right?" "I'm not saying anything," cried Ned Hunter, "We don't talk about our horses at King's Pyland. So get out, I'm getting the dog now." Ned ran across the stables to get the dog, and Edith began to run back to the house.But she looked back after about 30 meters and saw the man at the little window with his head and one arm inside the room.Edith ran on, and a minute later, Ned came out of the building and locked the door behind him.He ran all-round the stables with the dog, but the man was gone.Ned Hunter told the trainer and the other boys about the stranger, but no one saw him again.The next thing happened at one o'clock in the morning, when John Straker got out of bed."What's the matter," said his wife, "Where are you going?"  "To the stables," Straker said, "I can't stop thinking about that stranger, I just want to have a look around."  "But it's raining, wait until the rain stops." she said."No,no," Straker said, "I want to go now."  He left the house and Mrs. Straker went back to sleep.At seven in the morning, she woke up, but her husband was not there.She quickly got up, called the servant-Edith, and they ran down to the stables.They found the stables unlocked, Straker was not there.And inside on a chair, Ned Hunter slept like a dead man.Silver Blaze was gone and his stable door was open.They called the other two boys from the room over the stables.They were good sleepers and heard nothing in the night.Nobody could wake Ned Hunter, so the two women and the boys ran out to look for the trainer and the horse.Five hundred from the stables, they saw Straker's coat on a small tree.Down the hill, just past the tree, they found the trainer. He was dead.There was a long cut in his leg, and his head was broken in three places.In his right hand, he had a small knife with blood all over it.And in his left hand, he had a red and black scarf.Edith Baxter knew the scarf at once, and later so did Ned Hunter."It's the strangest scarf," he told us, "When I went to get the dog, that stranger was still at the stable window. He put something in my meat curry to make me sleep, I know he did.Edith saw him with his arm through the window."Ned Hunter was right about his meat curry.There were some of his dinner left, and we found a lot of opium in it, that's why Ned slept like a dead man.What about the horse?We found his tracks in the mud next to Straker's dead body.But what happened then?Someone hit streak on the head and killed him.Did that person take the horse away? Did the horse run away?Everybody on Dartmoor is looking for Silver Blaze, but there is no news of him.When I began work on the case on Tuesday, we looked for the stranger.He was in Tavistock and we found him easily.His name is Fitzroy Simpson, he lives mostly in London and makes his money at the races taking bets.We looked in his betting book and found a number of big bets, £5000 against the favorite for the Wessex Cup.These were his answers to my questions."Why did you come down to Dartmoor?""I'm a betting man, Inspector. I need to know about the horses for the Wessex Cupsilver blaze, Bayard, and Desborough-the horse at Silas Brown's stables. He is the second favorite for the race, you see.""Did you go to the King's Pyland stables late on Monday evening?""Yes,I did. I just wanted to ask the stable boys some questions; they know the horses better than anyone.""And is this your scarf?""Yes,yes, it is.""And how did it get into the dead man's hand? Mr. Simpson, can you tell us that?""I don't know, Inspector, I don't know, I never saw the man. I lost my scarf in the dark. It wasn't me, Inspector, it wasn't me."We asked many more questions, but Fitzroy Simpson did not change his story.He was out at King's Pyland that night, his suit was still wet from the rain, and his big walking stick could break a man's head open, but there were no cuts on his body.So where did the blood on Straker's knife come from? And where is the horse?翻译第二章:周一晚上的金斯皮兰格雷戈里巡官与伊道丝·巴克斯特、内德·亨特、约翰·斯特雷克夫人以及菲茨罗伊·辛普森先生谈话以后的记录。星期一晚上,斯特雷克跟平常一样9点就锁了马厩。然后有两个小马倌走到驯马师家里吃晚餐,而第三个小马倌内德·亨特留在马厩照看马匹。9点5分,斯特雷克的佣人,一个名叫伊迪丝·巴克斯特的女孩子把内德·亨特的晚餐送到马厩。那天晚上的晚餐是热的咖哩烧肉。伊迪丝快到马厩的时候,一个人向她打招呼。他走近她,伊迪丝看见一个高个子男人,穿着一件灰色外套,戴着帽子,围着一条黑红相间的围巾,手里拿着一根粗大的手杖。伊迪丝觉得有点儿害怕。"我这是在哪儿?"那个人问道,"这是什么地方?""这是金斯皮兰的训练马厩。"伊迪丝回答道。"太好了!"那个人说。"那么,一个小马倌每天晚上睡在这儿--对吗?我猜你这是要去给他送晚餐吧。"他从口袋里掏出一个信封。"请把这个交给那个男孩儿,你就可以得到一笔钱买身漂亮衣服了。"伊迪丝没拿那个信封。她从那个人身旁跑过去,跑到马厩那儿的一扇开着的小窗前。她一般都从这扇窗户将小马倌的晚餐递进去,内德·亨特已经在那儿准备取饭了。"噢,内德!"伊迪丝叫道,但她还没来得及说别的,那个陌生人已经来到了她身后。"晚上好,"他隔着窗户对那个男孩说,"我想跟你谈谈。""你是谁?你想干什么?"内德·亨特说。"我想让你发财,孩子,"那个陌生人说,"你要是帮我,我就会帮你。你们有两匹马要参加韦塞克斯杯--'银光'和贝亚德。我听说贝亚德更好,你们这帮小马倌都在它身上下了注。对吗?""我不会透露任何事!"内德·亨特叫道,"我们不会在金斯皮兰谈论自己的马,快走开!我要放狗了!"内德穿过马厩去牵狗,伊迪丝开始回头往房子里跑。但她跑了大约30米后,回头看见那个人站在那扇小窗子边,头和一只胳膊伸进了房间里。伊迪丝继续往回跑,很快内德就出来了,顺手锁了门。他带着狗绕马厩跑了一圈,但那个人已经不见了。内德·亨特跟驯马师和其他的马倌说了那个陌生人的事,但再没人看到那个人。第二件事发生在凌晨1点。约翰·斯特雷克从床上爬了起来。"怎么了?"他妻子说,"你要去哪儿?""去马厩看看,"斯特雷克说,"我老想着那个陌生人。我想去看看。""可天在下雨呢。等雨停了再去吧。"她说。"不,不,"斯特雷克说,"我就想现在去。"他离开了房子,斯特雷克夫人接着睡觉。早上7点,她醒了过来,但她丈夫不在。她马上起床,叫来了佣人伊迪丝,一起往马厩跑去。她们发现马厩没锁。斯特雷克不在,内德·亨特在里边一张椅子上睡得跟死人一样。"银光"也不见了,它所在的马厩开着门。她们叫醒了睡在马厩顶上房间里的另外两个小马倌。他俩都睡得很死,没听见夜里有任何动静。没人能叫醒内德·亨特,于是那两个女人和两个小马倌跑出去找驯马师和那匹马。在离马厩500米的地方,他们看见斯特雷克的外套挂在一棵小树上。就在树边的山脚下,他们找到了驯马师。他死了。他腿上有一道长长的伤口,脑袋有三处破了。他右手拿着一把小刀,上面满是血,左手拽着一条黑红相间的围巾。伊迪丝·巴克斯特马上就认出了那条围巾,后来,内德·亨德也认出来了。"是那个陌生人的围巾,"他告诉我们,"我去牵狗的时候,那个人还在马厩的窗户边。他放了什么东西在我的咖哩烧肉里,让我昏昏入睡--我知道一定是他。伊迪丝看见他了,他的手伸进了窗户里。"内德·亨特关于他的咖哩烧肉的判断是对的。他的晚餐还剩下一点儿,我们在里边发现大量的鸦片。这就是内德睡得那么死的原因。那匹马呢?我们在泥地里发现了它的脚印,就在斯特雷克的尸体旁边。但是随后发生了什么事?有人打中了斯特雷克的头,杀死了他。那个人把马带走了吗?还是马自己跑了?达特穆尔的每个人都在找"银光",但没有关于它的任何消息。星期二我开始调查这个案子,我们就着手寻找那个陌生人。他在塔维斯托克,我们轻而易举地找到了他。他名叫菲茨罗伊·辛普森。他大部分时间住在伦敦,靠在赛马中赌马赚钱。我们查看了他的赌金簿,发现他在韦塞克斯杯上下了重注--5000英镑--买"银光"输。以下是他回答我的问题的记录。"你为什么去达特穆尔?""巡官,我是个赌徒。我得了解参加韦塞克斯杯的马--'银光'、贝亚德,还有德斯伯勒——赛拉斯·布朗家的马。你知道,那是这次比赛的第二大热门。""星期一晚上你是不是去了金斯皮兰的马厩?""对。我只想向着马厩的马倌打听点儿事情。他们比任何人都了解马的状况。""这是你的围巾吗?""对......是我的。""那它是怎么到被害人的手里的,辛普森先生?你能向我们解释一下吗?""我不知道,巡官,我不知道!我从来没见过那个人,那天夜里我的围巾丢了。不是我干的,巡官,不是我!"我们还问了很多问题,但菲茨罗伊·辛普森坚持他的说法。他那天晚上确实在金斯皮兰,他的外套淋了雨,还是湿的,他那条粗大的手杖足以打破人的脑袋。但他身上没有伤口,那斯特雷克手里那把刀上的血迹又是从哪儿来的呢?还有,那匹马哪儿去了?

    Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.inspector 巡官,探长2.racegoers 赛马观众3.stable 马厩原文Chapter 1: A horse called Silver Blaze."I must go down there, Watson, I must." said Sherlock Holmes at the breakfast table on Thursday morning."Go, go where?" I asked."To Dartmoor, to King's Pyland.""Ah, so that's it," I said, "Well,everybody in the country is talking about the case at King's Pyland."I always know when Holmes is interested in a case, he reads all the newspapers.He walks up and down, up and down the room and does not speak for hours.He did all those things yesterday.He did not answer any of my questions, but I knew that it was the mystery at King's Pyland.The morning, newspapers were on the breakfast table."What is happening at King's Pyland? Where is Silver Blaze," they asked, "Who killed John Straker? What are the police doing? Can they find the horse before the big race next week?" Silver Blaze was a famous racehorse, and John Straker was his trainer.One of the biggest horse races of the year-the Wessex Cup was next week, and Silver Blaze was the favorite to win.But on Monday night at King's Pyland, two things happened.Someone killed John Straker and Silver Blaze disappeared.I was interested in this case, too."Do you need my help, Holmes?" I asked."I would very much like to come with you, my dear Watson," said Holmes, "Of course you must come with me.We can catch the twelve o'clock from Paddington and talk about the case on the train."Two hours later, we were on the train to Tavistock.We read all the midday newspapers, but there was nothing new in them."So, Watson, what do you think about this case?""Well, the newspapers say…""Yes, the newspapers understand nothing. One day they say one thing, the next day they say another. But we must look at the case more carefully. What did happen on Monday night at King's Pyland and what did not happen, that's an important question, too.""Do the police have any answers?"I asked."No," said Holmes. "On Wednesday morning, I had two letters. One was from Mr. Ross, the owner of the horse, and the other was from the Dartmoor police, an Inspector Gregory. They ask for my help.""Wednesday morning?"I cried, "But this is Thursday morning, why didn't you go down yesterday?""Because it was an easy case, you can't hide a famous horse for long, I thought. where can you hide a horse on Dartmoor?There are no buildings, no trees. But I was wrong, Watson. The case is now two days old and nobody can find the horse or Straker's killer."  "So here we are on the train to Tavistock, and what do you think about it all? " I said."Well, Watson, let's look at the case first. We have a racehorse-Silver Blaze, only five years old, but already a winner in many big races. His owner Mr.Ross is a happy man and rich, the racegoers are happy too. Silver Blaze nearly always wins his races and so people put big bets on him to win. And when the favorite wins the race, a lot of people make money on their bets. But what happens when the favorite doesn't win? Watson, what then?""A lot of people lose their money, of course," I said, "And people with big bets on a different horse can make much more money when that other horse wins."Right, Watson! So perhaps some people are very interested in Silver Blaze not running in the Wessex Cup. Of course, Mr. Ross and his trainer John Straker know that, and they watch the horse very carefully.Now let's look at the people and the place. The trainer, John Straker, a good man and wonderful with horses, worked for Mr.Ross for twelve years. There are four horses in the training stables and three boys working for Straker. One of them sits up all night with the horses and the other two sleep in a room over the stables. We know nothing bad about any of the boys.Straker has a wife, no children, and lives-I mean lived in a house about 200 meters from the stables. The town of Tavistock is two kilometers to the west, and about two kilometers to the east. There is Capleton-another training stables. The owner there is Lord Backwater, and the trainer is Silas Brown. There are no other houses, just the hills of Dartmoor."I listened carefully, I wanted to remember it all, because Holmes does not like to say anything twice."Now," he said, "What happened on Monday night? These papers came with Inspector Gregory's letter. The best thing is for you to read them, Watson, then tell me what you think."I took the papers from him and began to read.翻译第一章:一匹名叫银光的马。"我必须得去一趟,华生。不能不去。"星期四早上,歇洛克·福尔摩斯坐在桌旁吃早餐时说道。"去?去哪儿?"我问道。"去达特穆尔--去金斯皮兰。""啊!就是这事儿。"我说,"全英国的人都在谈论金斯皮兰的这个案子。"当福尔摩斯对某个案子感兴趣的时候,我总能感觉到。他会浏览所有的报纸,在房间里不停地走来走去,几小时都不说话。昨天他就是这样。我问什么他都不理,不过我知道他肯定是在想着金斯皮兰的神秘事件。早上的报纸就放在餐桌上。"金斯皮兰发生了什么事?'银光'在哪儿?"报上写道,"谁杀死了约翰·斯特雷克?警方在干什么?他们能不能在下星期大赛前找回'银光'?""银光"是一匹著名的赛马,约翰·斯特雷克是它的驯马师。每年最大的赛马会之一--韦塞克斯杯--就在下星期举行,"银光"是夺冠的大热门。但星期一晚上,在金斯皮兰发生了两件事。约翰·斯特雷克被杀了,而"银光"失踪了。我对这案子也很感兴趣。"你要我帮忙吗,福尔摩斯?"我问道,"我非常愿意跟你一起去。""亲爱的华生,"福尔摩斯说,"你当然得跟我一起去。我们可以赶12点从帕丁顿区开出的火车,在车上讨论案情。"两个小时以后,我们坐上了去塔维斯托克的火车。我们看了中午所有的报纸,但报上没有什么新消息。"华生,你对这案子有什么看法?""呃,报纸上说...""啊,报纸什么也不知道。他们今天说一套,明天又是一套。但我们得更用心地看待这个案子。星期一晚上在金斯皮兰发生了什么?没发生的又是什么?这也是个关键的问题。""警方找到答案了吗?"我问道。"没有,"福尔摩斯说,"星期三早上我收到两封信,一封是马的主人罗斯先生写来的,另一封来自达特穆尔警方--格雷戈里巡官。他们请求我帮忙。""星期三早上!"我叫道,"但现在已经是星期四上午了。你为什么不昨天动身呢?""因为这个案子并不复杂。我原来以为没人能长时间地藏住一匹知名的马。你能把马藏在达特穆尔的什么地方呢?那儿没有建筑物,也没有树林......但我的判断并不准确,华生。现在这案子已经发生两天了,还没人找到那匹马--或者找到杀死约翰·斯特雷克的凶手。所以我们才坐上了这列开往塔维斯托克的火车。""那你对这一切有什么看法?"我问道。"嗯,华生,我们来看看这个案子。首先,有一匹赛马'银光'--才5岁,但已经是许多大赛的冠军。它的主人罗斯先生很开心--因为他有钱了。在这匹马上下注的赛马迷们也很开心,因为银光在比赛中几乎从未输过,因此人们在它身上下了重注。如果最被看好的赛马赢得了比赛,很多人都会凭他们下的赌注赢钱。但如果这匹马输了呢,华生?那会怎样?""当然是许多人输钱啦,"我说,"而且在别的马身上下了重注的人会赢得更多的钱,如果被下注的那匹马赢了的话。""说得对,华生!所以,可能有人很希望'银光'不能参加韦塞克斯杯的比赛。当然,罗斯先生和他的驯马师约翰·斯特雷克知道这一点,他们非常小心地照顾着这匹马。现在让我们来看看这案子涉及到的人和地点。驯马师约翰·斯特雷克--他是个好人,对马很有一套--已经为罗斯先生工作了12年了。训练用的马厩里有四匹马。斯特雷克手下有三个小马倌,其中一个会整夜守着马,另外两个睡在马厩顶上的一个房间里。就我们所知,这几个男孩儿的品行都很好。斯特雷克已经结婚,没有孩子,住在--我是说,他曾经住在离马厩200米左右的一所房子里。向西两公里就是塔维斯托克镇,东边大约两公里的地方是卡普莱顿,另一处训马马厩。那儿的主人是巴克沃特勋爵,驯马师是赛拉斯·布朗。附近没有其他的房子了--只有达特穆尔的山。"我仔细听着,想记住这一切,因为福尔摩斯不喜欢重复说过的话。"那么,"他说道,"星期一晚上发生了什么事?这些卷宗是格雷戈里巡官随信一起寄来的。你最好看看,华生,然后告诉我你的想法。"我从他手里拿过卷宗,看了起来。

Today I’m going to talk about small talk, that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such exchanges occur at bus stops,on buses, while waiting in line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service,movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors, “Do you like our city?” They may say simply “Yes.” On the other hand, if you ask, “What do you think of our city?” They will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you're interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you.

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.cloven 分趾的原文Chapter 7: The Duke's Son When the duke said this, I was very surprised,but Holmes was surprised too."This is news to me," he said, "can you tell me more? "The duke stood up and walked round the room for a minute."I must tell you everything," he said, "I didn't want to talk about it, but I must. I see that now."He sat down again and began his story."When I was a young man, Mr. Holmes, I was in love, no so much in love. It only happens to you once, and this woman was the love of my life.I wanted her to be my wife, but she died. She left me this one child, and I loved him because of her.When I look in his face, I see her and remember her and can't stop loving her.I must have the boy near me because of this, but a government minister cannot tell the world about a love child like this.So, to the world, James is my young secretary, not my son.He knows that I am his father.He hates the duchess,because she is not his mother, and he hates my younger son, Arthur, because Arthur has everything.Arthur has a name, a famous father, houses, money, everything.James has nothing.Well, he has some money, of course, but he is just Mr. James Wilder and he wants to be the Duke of Holderness one day.That's not possible, of course, but James can't understand that.And so you see, I was afraid for Arthur, and that's why I sent him to Dr Huxtable's school.And what does James do next?He kidnaps my poor Arthur, it changes nothing, but James can't see that, he wants me to say.'Yes, James,now you can be my first son, you can have everything, Arthur can be the number two son.'But I can't do that. Of course I can't.James knew this man, Hayes.You see,because Hayes worked for me once, James asked for Hayes's help and the man was happy to do it.You remember my letter to Arthur on that last day?Well, James opened the letter and put in a note from him.That evening,he cycled across the moor and met Arthur in Ragged Shore.He talked about the duchess——Arthur's mother.'She wants to see you,' he told Arthur,'she's waiting on the moor. Come back at midnight, and a man with a horse can take you to her.'Of course,poor Arthur wanted to see his mother, so he came.Hayes was there with two horses, and they rode across the moor, but the German teacher followed them, and Hayes killed him.Hayes then took Arthur to the Green Man.Well, Mr.Holmes, I knew nothing about any of this until the murder.James is a bad boy, but he does not murder people.When he heard the news, he came to me at once crying, 'what could I do?'I didn't want the world to know about this, so James went down to the Green Man.He told Hayes to run away, because everybody knew about the murder now and knew the murderer's name, too.Hayes left at once.Later, I went down and saw Arthur.I left him there with Mrs. Hayes, because I couldn't say anything to the police just then.So Mr. Holmes,now you know everything.""Hmm,"said Holmes, "you help a murderer, you say nothing to the police, you leave your young son in a dirty inn, and you ask for my help."People never spoke to the Duke of Holderness like this usually.His face was red, but he said nothing."First,"said Holmes, "we must bring Arthur home.""Yes,"the duke said quietly.Holmes quickly wrote a note and took it out of the room.A minute later,he was back."Now what are you going to do about Mr. James Wilder?" He said."I understand you, Mr. Holmes," said the duke, "James is leaving me and going to Australia next week.""Good,"said Holmes, "and the duchess, perhaps without James in the house, you and she…""Yes, I wrote to the duchess this morning."Holmes stood up. "Well," he said, "Watson and I can go home now. I think there is just one other small thing. This man,Hayes, took two horses across the moor, but the horse's feet made the tracks of a cow in the mud. How was this possible?"The duke looked surprised and thought for a minute.Then he went away and came back two minutes later with a glass box in his hands.In the box were some horseshoes."We found these shoes under the ground in the garden," the duke said, "they are about 500 years old. We think the Holderness family has a long and interesting past."Holmes opened the box and took out one shoe.It was a shoe for a horse's foot, but it looked like a cloven cow's foot.Holmes wet his finger and ran it round the bottom of the shoe.A little mud came off on his finger."Thank you," said Holmes.He put the horse shoe back in its box."That shoe is the second most interesting thing in the north of England," he said, "and the first asked the duke."Holmes took the check for 12000 pounds from the table and slowly put it into his notebook."I am a poor man," he said.He looked lovingly at the notebook, then put it carefully in his pocket.翻译第七章:公爵的儿子当公爵说出这句话时,我非常惊讶,但福尔摩斯也很惊讶。“这对我来说是新闻,”他说,“你能告诉我更多吗?”公爵站了起来,在房间里踱步了一会儿。“我必须告诉你一切,”他说,“我本不想谈论这件事,但我必须这么做。我现在明白了。”他又坐了下来,开始讲述他的故事。“当我年轻时,福尔摩斯先生,我曾恋爱过,不,是非常爱。这种事一生只发生一次,而这个女人是我一生的挚爱。我想让她做我的妻子,但她去世了。她给我留下了这个孩子,因为她的缘故我爱他。当我看着他的脸,我就看到了她,想起了她,无法停止爱她。因为这个原因,我必须让这孩子待在我身边,但一位政府大臣不能向世人公开这样一个私生子。所以,对世人来说,詹姆斯是我的年轻秘书,而不是我的儿子。他知道我是他的父亲。他憎恨公爵夫人,因为她不是他的母亲,他也憎恨我的小儿子亚瑟,因为亚瑟拥有一切。亚瑟有名分,有著名的父亲,有宅邸,有钱,有一切。詹姆斯一无所有。好吧,他当然有一些钱,但他只是詹姆斯·怀尔德先生,他想有一天成为霍尔德内斯公爵。那当然是不可能的,但詹姆斯无法理解这一点。所以你明白,我为亚瑟感到担心,那就是为什么我把他送到了赫克斯特博士的学校。接下来詹姆斯做了什么?他绑架了我可怜的亚瑟,但这改变不了什么,但詹姆斯看不透这一点,他希望我说。‘是的,詹姆斯,现在你可以做我的长子了,你可以拥有一切,亚瑟可以做次子。’但我不能那样做。当然我不能。詹姆斯认识这个人,海耶斯。你看,因为海耶斯曾经为我工作过,詹姆斯请求海耶斯的帮助,那个人也很乐意去做。你还记得最后一天我给亚瑟的信吗?好吧,詹姆斯拆开了信并放进了他写的一张便条。那天晚上,他骑自行车穿过荒原并在拉格德肖尔见到了亚瑟。他谈到了公爵夫人——亚瑟的母亲。‘她想见你,’他告诉亚瑟,‘她在荒原上等着。午夜回来,会有一个骑马的人带你去见她。’当然,可怜的亚瑟想见他的母亲,所以他来了。海耶斯带着两匹马在那里,他们骑马穿过荒原,但是那个德语老师跟踪了他们,海耶斯杀了他。然后海耶斯把亚瑟带到了绿人旅馆。好吧,福尔摩斯先生,直到谋杀案发生前,我对这一切都一无所知。詹姆斯是个坏孩子,但他不会杀人。当他听到这个消息时,他立刻哭着来找我,‘我能怎么办?’我不想让世人知道这件事,所以詹姆斯去了绿人旅馆。他告诉海耶斯逃跑,因为现在大家都知道了谋杀案,也知道了凶手的名字。海耶斯立刻就走了。后来,我下去看了亚瑟。我把他和海耶斯太太留在那里,因为那时我还不能跟警察说什么。所以福尔摩斯先生,现在你知道了一切。”“嗯,”福尔摩斯说,“你包庇了一个凶手,你对警察只字不提,把你年幼的儿子留在一个肮脏的旅馆里,然后你还要寻求我的帮助。”人们通常从不这样对霍尔德内斯公爵说话。他的脸涨红了,但他什么也没说。“首先,”福尔摩斯说,“我们必须把亚瑟带回家。”“好的,”公爵轻声说。福尔摩斯迅速写了一张便条并把它带出了房间。一分钟后,他回来了。“现在你打算怎么处理詹姆斯·怀尔德先生?”他说。“我明白你的意思,福尔摩斯先生,”公爵说,“詹姆斯要离开我,下周去澳大利亚。”“很好,”福尔摩斯说,“至于公爵夫人,也许家里没有了詹姆斯,你和……”“是的,我今天早上给公爵夫人写了信。”福尔摩斯站了起来。“好吧,”他说,“华生和我现在可以回家了。我想还有一件小事。这个人海耶斯,带着两匹马穿过荒原,但是马脚在泥地里留下了牛蹄印。这怎么可能呢?”公爵看起来很惊讶,想了一分钟。然后他走开,两分钟后拿着一个玻璃盒子回来了。盒子里是一些马蹄铁。“我们在花园的地下发现了这些蹄铁,”公爵说,“它们大约有500年的历史了。我们认为霍尔德内斯家族有着漫长而有趣的过去。”福尔摩斯打开盒子,拿出一个蹄铁。那是一个用于马脚的蹄铁,但看起来像分瓣的牛蹄。福尔摩斯弄湿了他的手指,沿着蹄铁的底部抹了一圈。一点泥土沾在了他的手指上。“谢谢你,”福尔摩斯说。他把马蹄铁放回盒子里。“那个蹄铁是英格兰北部第二有趣的东西,”他说,“而第一是公爵。”福尔摩斯从桌子上拿起那张12000英镑的支票,慢慢地把它放进他的笔记本里。“我是一个穷人,”他说。他深情地看着笔记本,然后小心翼翼地把它放进口袋里。

And in today's program, I'd like to share with you a special kind of English culture — the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned.England had its big moment in 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope — the English flag. While football has never been something I'm particularly interested in. For years, I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England, as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why you should support their team.

    英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯和公爵的儿子》part6

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle原文Chapter 6: Sherlock Holmes talks to the Duke At 11 o'clock the next morning, Holmes and I were in the duke's office at Holderness Hall.Mr. Wilder came to speak to us."The duke can see no one today,"he said to Holmes.Holmes looked at him coldly."The duke can see me," he said, "please tell him that I am here."After half an hour, the duke of Holderness came into the room.He looked older, tired, and ill."Well, Mr.Holmes," he said.Holmes looked at James Wilder."I can speak more freely without your secretary here, sir." "Very well," said the duke tiredly, "please, James."James Wilder gave Holmes an angry look, but he went out of the room and shut the door.Holmes looked at the duke."You are offering——I hear——5000 pounds for news of your son." "True."  "And another thousand pounds for the name of the kidnapper.""True."My friend smiled."I see your checkbook on the table, sir, I would like to have your check for 6000 pounds.""Mr.Sherlock Holmes," the duke said angrily, "what is this about? Do you have news of my son or not?""Oh, yes."said Holmes.The duke's eyes never left Holmes's face."Where is my son," he said quietly."He is,or was last night at the Green Man in 3 km along the road to Chesterfield."The duke fell back in his chair, "And the name of the kidnapper?"Sherlock Holmes's answer was a very surprising one."You,"he said, "and now, sir, your check, please?"The duke stood up, his face white and angry, then he sat down again and put his face in his hands.It was some minutes before he spoke."How much do you know?" he asked."I saw you with him last night." said Holmes."And how many people know about this?""Only I and my friend here, Dr Watson."The duke, took out a pen, opened his checkbook, and began to write."When I made this offer, I didn't know…" he stopped, then began again, "Are you and your friend going to talk about this, Mr. Holmes?""I don't understand you, sir," said Holmes."I mean, nobody needs to know about this, this little family mystery, just you and your friend Watson. Look, here is my check for 12000 pounds."Holmes gave him a cold little smile."I'm sorry, sir. There is a dead man in this case, you remember?""But that wasn't James," cried the duke, "he knew nothing about it.""He was very, very unhappy when he heard about the killing murder," said Holmes, "But James wasn't there, and when he heard about it, he came to me at once and told me everything.""Oh, Mr.Holmes, you must help him, you must. He is not the murderer, the murderer ran away last night."Holmes smiled again, "I have a little more news for you, sir. The police met Mr. Reuben Hayes last night at Chesterfield station. Mr. Hayes is not running anywhere fora very long time."The duke looked at Holmes with an open mouth."You know everything." he said."But I am pleased to hear about Hayes. He was always a bad man and that news can only help James. James, your secretary." said Holmes."No, sir,my son. James Wilder, is my son."翻译第六章:夏洛克·福尔摩斯与公爵谈话第二天上午11点,福尔摩斯和我在霍尔德内斯府邸的公爵办公室里。怀尔德先生过来跟我们说话。“公爵今天谁也不见,”他对福尔摩斯说。福尔摩斯冷冷地看着他。“公爵会见我,”他说,“请告诉他我在这里。”半小时后,霍尔德内斯公爵走进了房间。他看起来更老了,疲惫不堪,而且病容满面。“好吧,福尔摩斯先生,”他说。福尔摩斯看着詹姆斯·怀尔德。“如果没有您的秘书在这里,我可以说话更随意些,先生。”“好吧,”公爵疲惫地说,“请便,詹姆斯。”詹姆斯·怀尔德愤怒地瞪了福尔摩斯一眼,然后走出了房间并关上了门。福尔摩斯看着公爵。“我听说——您正在悬赏5000英镑征求关于您儿子的消息。”“没错。”“另外还有一千英镑用于提供绑架者的名字。”“没错。”我的朋友笑了。“我看到您的支票簿在桌子上,先生,我想要一张6000英镑的支票。”“夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生,”公爵生气地说,“这是怎么回事?你到底有没有我儿子的消息?”“噢,有的,”福尔摩斯说。公爵的眼睛一刻也没有离开福尔摩斯的脸。“我的儿子在哪里,”他轻声说。“他在,或者说昨晚他在切斯特菲尔德公路3公里外的绿人旅馆。”公爵向后倒在椅子上,“那么绑架者的名字呢?”夏洛克·福尔摩斯的回答非常令人惊讶。“是你,”他说,“现在,先生,请把您的支票给我好吗?”公爵站了起来,脸色苍白且充满怒气,然后他又坐了下来,双手捂住了脸。过了几分钟他才开口。“你知道多少?”他问。“我昨晚看见你和他在一起了,”福尔摩斯说。“有多少人知道这件事?”“只有我和我的这位朋友华生医生。”公爵拿出一支笔,打开他的支票簿,开始写字。“当我做出这个承诺时,我不知道……”他停了一下,然后又接着写,“你和你的朋友会谈论这件事吗,福尔摩斯先生?”“我不明白您的意思,先生,”福尔摩斯说。“我的意思是,不需要让任何人知道这件事,这个小小的家庭谜团,只需要你和你的朋友华生知道。看,这是我的一万两千英镑的支票。”福尔摩斯给了他一个冷淡的微笑。“很抱歉,先生。在这个案子里有一个死人,你还记得吗?”“但那不是詹姆斯干的,”公爵喊道,“他对这事一无所知。”“当他听到杀人案的消息时,他非常、非常难过,”福尔摩斯说,“但詹姆斯当时不在那里,当他听说这件事后,他立刻来找我并告诉了我一切。”“噢,福尔摩斯先生,你必须帮助他,你必须。他不是凶手,凶手昨晚逃跑了。”福尔摩斯又笑了,“我还有一点消息要告诉您,先生。警察昨晚在切斯特菲尔德车站遇到了鲁本·海耶斯先生。海耶斯先生在很长一段时间里哪儿也去不了了。”公爵张着嘴看着福尔摩斯。“你什么都知道了,”他说。“但我很高兴听到关于海耶斯的消息。他一直是个坏人,那个消息只能对詹姆斯有帮助。詹姆斯,你的秘书。”福尔摩斯说。“不,先生,是我的儿子。詹姆斯·怀尔德,是我的儿子。”

I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.M:What a pity! I was hoping she would come.(Text 2)M: If I were you, I'd just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a good choice, too.W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work. I'm pressed for time, you know.(Text 3)W:It's 8:30, Dave, and you're going to be late for the meeting.M:Oh, my! I just have half an hour left. I can't believe I slept for 10 hours.(Text 4)M:Hi, Helen. Where are you off to?W: To the library. I've got a history paper due next week, and need to do some reading.(Text 5)W:Thank goodness! You're still here.M:What's up?W: I need your signature for this document. It's urgent.(Text 6)W:Are you all alone, Tom? Why not ask Mike to help you collect money for the Children's Centre?M:Well, he's working on his lab report. Could you come?W:I'd love to, but I won't be available until next week. I think Cathy will have some free time this week. Do you want me to pass on a message?M:That'd be nice. Thanks, Jane.(Text 7)W:Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It's so early.M:Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don't want to be late.W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don't think there's scenery to look at.M:Don't worry! I’ll take a book with me.W:It's too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.M:But I've already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don't need to buy anything. If I really can't focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven't talked to in a while.W:That's a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list so that she’d not miss anything in the days to come.M:That's an awesome idea. I’ll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.W:Bye!(Text 8)W:Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What's the matter?M:Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer at his service station, and with good pay.W:That's wonderful, but are you going to quit college?M:That's exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to collegeanytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour?That’s $30,000 a year!”W:And then?M:And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now…”W: I can see it. It's true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future. You will get better jobs.(Text 9)W:Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?M:Sure, what's up?W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.M:Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?W:Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?M:No, I think that's okay. What do you talk about in the group?W:Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.M:What books have you read?W:Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.M:The Kite Runner ? I've heard that’s a good book. What's it about?W:It's about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.M:That sounds interesting. I'd love to come.W:Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.(Text 10)W:Today, let's begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future.I'd like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First,remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing, so don't try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases, not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are very good at making use of color, mapping web, and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples.

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.stables 马房2.shoes 马蹄铁3.nails 钉子原文Chapter 5: Avis it to the Green Man.When we were near the inn, Holmes suddenly cried out."My foot,I can't stand on it. Help me, Watson."I took his arm and we walked slowly to the door of the inn.A man stood there smoking and watching us."How are you, Mr. Ruben Hayes?" said Holmes."Who are you and how do you know my name," said the man.He looked very unfriendly."Because it's on the door of the inn over your head," said Holmes, "but can you help me, Mr. Hayes?""No, I can't.""But I need help. I can't put my foot to the ground. Well, don't put it to the ground," Holmes smiled."Look,"he said, "it's very important and I can offer you a pound for the use of a bicycle.""Where do you want to go?" asked Mr. Hayes."To Holderness Hall.""Oh, friends of the duke, are you?" Mr. Hayes laughed,looking at our muddy shoes and trousers.Holmes laugh too."Well, we are bringing him news of his lost son," he said, "the boy is in Liverpool."Mr. Hayes' "Oh,"he said carefully, "that's…that's good news. I worked for the duke once,but he wasn't good to me. I don't like him, but I'm pleased about the boy.""We allwent into the inn now," said Holmes, "something to eat first, please.Then you can bring round the bicycle.""We all went into the inn now," said Holmes, "something to eat first, please.Then you can bring round the bicycle.""I haven't got a bicycle," said Mr. Hayes.Holmes put a pound on the table."I tell you man that I haven't got a bicycle. You can have two horses to take you to the hall."He brought us something to eat and we ate hungrily through the window.We could seethe stables at the back of the inn.Once Holmes got up and walked round the room, then stood looking out of the window at the stables.Surprisingly,his foot was now very much better.Suddenly, he laughed and looked at me."I've got it," he cried, "yes, of course, that's it Watson, did you see any cow tracks today?""Yes,"I said, "lots of them everywhere.""And how many cows did you see on the moor?""I don't remember any," I said."Isn't that strange, Watson? Lots of cow tracks, but no cows. And do you remember those tracks, Watson?"He took out his notebook, there were tracks like this, and sometimes like this, and sometimes like this."Do you remember that, Watson?""No, I don't," I said, "what does it mean, Holmes?""It means that it's a very strange cow, Watson. Cows don't move like that. Now let's go quietly out and have a look round these stables."There were two tired looking horses in the stables.Holmeslooked carefully at one of the horse's feet and laughed."Look, Watson, old shoes but new nails. Oh, this case gets more interesting every minute."I began to ask Holmes a question, but suddenly we heard someone behind us and there was Mr. Reuben Hayes.His face was red and angry."What are you doing in my stables?" he cried."We're just looking at your horses, Mr. Hayes, " said Holmes, smiling, "Why are you afraid of something?"The man opened his mouth, then closed it quickly.His face was still red and angry.Holmes did not give him time to speak."I think your horses are tired, Mr. Hayes. We can walk to the hall, it's not far.""3 km by the road," Mr. Hayes said.His eyes still watched us angrily.It was nearly dark when we left.We walked along the road for about 100 meters, then Holmes took my arm."Quick,Watson, off the road and up the hill. Then we can come down the hill. At the back of the inn."We ran up the hill."This man, Hayes," I said, "he knows all about the kidnapping, is that right, Holmes?""Of course it is." He said, "we can learn a lot more from Mr. Hayes.""Who's this, Watson? Get down."There was a bicycle on the road, it came past us very quickly, and we saw the rider, Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary.His face was white and afraid."Quick,Watson," said Holmes, "we must watch him."We ran down the hill and stopped when we could see the back door of the inn.Wild's bicycle was by the wall near the door.For five minutes, nothing happened.Then a man on a horse rode quickly out of the stables and disappeared down the road."What do you think of that, Watson?" said Holmes."Somebody's running away.""Yes, but not James Wilder, because there he is at the door."We could see Wilder in the light from the door.He stood there looking out, and 10 minutes later, another man came down the road and went into the inn.Then a light came on in a room."Upstairs.Come, Watson, we must get nearer," Holmes said, "We went down the hill and walked very quietly to the back door of the inn."The bicycle was still by the wall.Holmes looked at the wheel and laughed quietly."A Dunlop tire, Watson. Now I must look through that upstairs window, so I need your back,Watson."Holmes stood on my back, but only for a second, and then he was down again."Come, my friend," he said, "it's a long walk to the school, so let's start at once. I can give you all the answers to this mystery tomorrow."It was a long,cold, muddy walk back to the school.I went to bed at once, but Holmes went out again to Mackleton.I think I was very tired and slept all night like a dead man.翻译第五章:造访绿人旅馆当我们快到旅馆时,福尔摩斯突然叫了起来。“我的脚,我站不住了。帮帮我,华生。”我扶住他的胳膊,我们慢慢地走到旅馆门口。一个男人站在那里抽着烟看着我们。“你好吗,鲁本·海耶斯先生?”福尔摩斯说。“你是谁,你怎么知道我的名字,”那男人说。他看起来非常不友善。“因为就在你头顶上的旅馆门上写着呢,”福尔摩斯说,“但是你能帮帮我吗,海耶斯先生?”“不,我不能。”“但我需要帮助。我的脚不能着地。好吧,那就别让它着地,”福尔摩斯笑着说。“听着,”他说,“这非常重要,我可以给你一英镑来借用一辆自行车。”“你想去哪里?”海耶斯先生问。“去霍尔德内斯府邸。”“噢,你们是公爵的朋友,是吗?”海耶斯先生笑道,看着我们沾满泥巴的鞋子和裤子。福尔摩斯也笑了。“嗯,我们是来给他带去他失踪儿子的消息的,”他说,“那男孩在利物浦。”海耶斯先生的脸变白了,然后又变红了。“噢,”他小心翼翼地说,“那是……那是好消息。我曾经为公爵工作过,但他对我不好。我不喜欢他,但我为那个男孩感到高兴。”“我们现在都进旅馆吧,”福尔摩斯说,“请先给点吃的。然后你可以把自行车推过来。”“我没有自行车,”海耶斯先生说。福尔摩斯把一英镑放在桌子上。“我告诉你了,伙计,我没有自行车。你们可以骑两匹马去府邸。”他给我们拿了些吃的,我们狼吞虎咽地吃着,眼睛却盯着窗外。我们可以看到旅馆后面的马厩。有一次福尔摩斯站起来在房间里走动,然后站在窗边看着外面的马厩。令人惊讶的是,他的脚现在好多了。突然,他笑了起来,看着我。“我明白了,”他喊道,“是的,当然,就是这样,华生,你今天看到牛蹄印了吗?”“看到了,”我说,“到处都是。”“但是你在荒原上看到了几头牛?”“我不记得有看到任何牛,”我说。“这难道不奇怪吗,华生?到处都是牛蹄印,却没有牛。你还记得那些痕迹吗,华生?”他拿出笔记本,上面画着这样的痕迹,有时是这样的,有时又是那样的。“你记得那个吗,华生?”“不,我不记得,”我说,“这是什么意思,福尔摩斯?”“这意味着那是一头非常奇怪的牛,华生。牛不会那样移动。现在我们悄悄出去,看看这些马厩。”马厩里有两匹看起来很疲惫的马。福尔摩斯仔细地看了看其中一匹马的脚,笑了起来。“看,华生,旧蹄铁但钉着新钉子。噢,这个案子每一分钟都变得更有趣了。”我刚想问福尔摩斯一个问题,但突然听到身后有人,原来是鲁本·海耶斯先生。他的脸涨得通红,怒气冲冲。“你们在我的马厩里干什么?”他喊道。“我们只是来看看你的马,海耶斯先生,”福尔摩斯笑着说,“你为什么害怕某些事?”那人张开了嘴,然后又迅速闭上了。他的脸依然通红且带着怒气。福尔摩斯没给他说话的时间。“我想你的马累了,海耶斯先生。我们可以走到府邸去,不远。”“走公路要3公里,”海耶斯先生说。他的眼睛依然愤怒地盯着我们。当我们离开时,天快黑了。我们沿着公路走了大约100米,然后福尔摩斯挽住了我的胳膊。“快点,华生,离开公路上山坡。然后我们可以从山坡下去。到旅馆后面去。”我们跑上了山坡。“这个人,海耶斯,”我说,“他知道绑架案的一切,对吗,福尔摩斯?”“当然是。”他说,“我们可以从海耶斯先生那里了解到更多。”“这是谁,华生?趴下。”路上有一辆自行车,很快地从我们身边经过,我们看到了骑车的人,詹姆斯·怀尔德先生,公爵的秘书。他的脸色苍白,充满恐惧。“快点,华生,”福尔摩斯说,“我们必须监视他。”我们跑下山坡,停在能看到旅馆后门的地方。怀尔德的自行车靠在门边的墙上。过了五分钟,什么也没发生。然后一个骑马的人飞快地从马厩里出来,消失在公路上。“你怎么看那个,华生?”福尔摩斯说。“有人在逃跑。”“是的,但不是詹姆斯·怀尔德,因为他在那里,在门口。”我们可以看到怀尔德站在门口的灯光下。他站在那里向外张望,10分钟后,另一个人顺着路走来进了旅馆。然后楼上一个房间亮起了灯。“在楼上。来吧,华生,我们必须靠近点,”福尔摩斯说,“我们下了山坡,非常安静地走到旅馆的后门。”自行车还在墙边。福尔摩斯看了看车轮,轻声笑了起来。“是邓禄普轮胎,华生。现在我必须透过那个楼上的窗户看进去,所以我需要你的后背帮忙,华生。”福尔摩斯踩在我的背上,但只有一秒钟,然后他就下来了。“来吧,我的朋友,”他说,“回学校的路很长,所以我们马上出发吧。明天我可以给你这个谜团的所有答案。”回学校的路漫长、寒冷且泥泞不堪。我立刻上床睡觉了,但福尔摩斯又出门去了麦克勒顿。我想我是太累了,睡得像死人一样沉。

And he is looking for a roommate. Would you like his phone number?M: That would be great! Thanks for your help.(Text10)M: Good morning, everybody. Before we start the class today, I need to give you some information about our field trip on the 27th of May. As you know, we're spending the day at The Science Museum in London. A coach will pick us up in the school car park. We'll leave at 8 o'clock, so plan to be there at least fifteen minutes before that, 7:45 at the latest. You'd better set your alarms for 6:30, okay? If you've visited The Science Museum before, you'll know that it's enormous, and we can't possibly see everything in one day. The Welcome Wing has three galleries which deal only with contemporary science. We're going to have a guided tour of one of them. We've ordered lunch at the café, so we'll all meet up there at 12:30. And don't be late. We have to go to the cinema at 1:15. I think that's all for now. Oh, one last thing. Check out The Science Museum website before we go. The more you read about it, the more interesting the visit will be.

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.centimeter 厘米2.tires 车胎原文Chapter 4: The Body on the MoorVery early the next morning, I opened my eyes and saw Holmes next to my bed.He was already dressed."Come, Watson," he cried, "there is hot coffee ready for you."We leave in 10 minutes by 6 o'clock.We were through ragged shore, and half an hour later, we were on Lower Gilmore.Across the middle of the moor was a small river, and the ground all around it was very wet."We can easily see tracks in this wet ground," said Holmes. "Look carefully,Watson."We moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud.We found hundreds of sheep tracks and once some cow tracks, but no bicycle tracks.And then at last, we found something not far from the little river, right across some nice black mud, was the track of a bicycle."Hurrah,"I cried, "we have it."But Holmes did not look happy."It's a bicycle, yes, but not the bicycle. Every bicycle has different tires, I know 42 different kinds of tires, this tire is a Dunlop, but Heidegger's bicycle had Palmer tires, the English teacher told me that, so this is not Heidegger, is it?""The boy?"Then I asked."Probably not, the boy didn't take a bicycle with him," said Holmes.He looked again at the track in the mud."This track is going away from the school, or perhaps to the school?" I said."No, no,my dear Watson, look at the tracks of the two tires, are they the same?""No,"I said, "one tire makes a deeper track.""And that's the back wheel," said Holmes, "because the rider, of course,sits over the back wheel. The deeper track is the one on top. So this bicycle went that way across the moor, away from the school. But who was the rider?Where did he come from?"We followed the Dunlop track back nearly to Ragged Shore, then we lost it in some cow tracks.Holmes sat down and thought for some minutes."No,"he said, "getting up. We must leave this question for now. Back to the mud by the river, Watson."Two hours later, Holmes gave a happy cry.I quickly ran over to him and looked down at a long, thin track in the mud."It was the Palmer Tiger. Here is Heidegger," cried Holmes, "let's follow him,Watson."For a kilometer or more, we followed the Palmer tire north across the moor, losing the track, finding it again, losing it, and finding it.Suddenly the track stopped."What happened here?" I said, "did he fall?"Holmes looked carefully on the ground, then he moved to some small bushes with yellow flowers on them."Look,"he said quietly.On one of the yellow flowers, there was something red, the dark brown red of blood."Bad,"said Holmes, "bad.""What do I read here?""Something or someone hit him, he fell, he stood up, he got onto his bicycle again and rode away, but there is no other track, some cow tracks here, but no footprint.We must follow the blood, Watson."We soon found the bicycle, and then behind a bush, we saw a shoe and found a body.There was blood on the man's head and face, and he was very, very dead.He had shoes on, but no socks.And we saw a night shirt under his open coat."It was the German teacher? Poor man," Holmes said quietly, "what shall we do,Watson? We can't lose any more time.""But we must tell someone about this poor man. Shall I run back to the school?" I said. "No, I need you with me."Holmes stood up and looked around."Look,"he said, "there's a workman over there, he can go back to the school for us."I went and got the workman, and Holmes wrote a note for Dr Huxtable.The poor workman took one look at the body and began to run quickly down the hill to Ragged Shore."Now,"said Holmes, "before we go on, let's think carefully for a minute. What do we know so far? First, the boy left freely. He was dressed, he did not leave suddenly.He wanted to go, perhaps with someone, perhaps not. But the German teacher left without his socks and without his shirt, so he left very suddenly.""That's right," I said。"And why did Heidegger go?""Because from his bedroom window, he saw the boy. Because he wanted to follow him and bring him back. ""So far, so good. But why doesn't Heidegger just run after the boy? A man can easily run faster than a boy, but Heidegger doesn't do this. He gets his bicycle, he knows that he needs his bicycle, why?""Ah,"I said, "Because the boy has a bicycle.""Not so fast, Watson, think about it. Heidegger dies 8 km from the school, so the boy is moving very fast, because it is 8 km before a man on a bicycle can get near him. And Heidegger dies because someone hits him very hard on the head. A boy can't do that, so there was someone with the boy, a man, let's say. But we looked very carefully at the mud all round, poor Heidegger's body, Watson. And what did we find? Some cow tracks, but nothing more, no footprints from people,no bicycle tracks.""Holmes,"I cried, "this is not possible.""Very good, Watson," he said, "it's not possible, so something is wrong with my thinking, what can it be?""Perhaps,"I said, "Heidegger broke his head in a fall in mud.""Watson?Oh, I don't know, I just don't know. Come, come, Watson," said Holmes, "every mystery has an answer, but for now, the Palmer tire can tell us nothing more, so we must go back to the Dunlop tire."We found the Dunlop track again and followed it north.Here there was very little mud and we lost the track.Across the moor, we could now see Holderness Hall some kilometers to our left.And in front of us, we could see the Chesterfield Road.We walked down to the road and along to the Green Man Inn.翻译第四章:荒原上的尸体第二天一大早,我睁开眼,看见福尔摩斯就站在我的床边。他已经穿戴整齐了。“来吧,华生,”他喊道,“热咖啡已经给你准备好了。”我们在6点前10分钟出发。我们穿过了拉格德肖尔,半小时后,我们就到了下吉尔莫荒原。荒原中央有一条小河,周围的地面非常潮湿。“在这片湿地上我们可以很容易地看到痕迹,”福尔摩斯说,“仔细看,华生。”我们慢慢地穿过荒原,仔细检查每一寸泥土。我们发现了成百上千个羊群的足迹,还有一次是牛的足迹,但没有自行车的痕迹。最后,在离小河不远的地方,就在一片漂亮的黑泥地上,我们发现了一个自行车的轨迹。“好哇,”我喊道,“我们要找到了。”但福尔摩斯看起来并不高兴。“是一辆自行车,没错,但不是那一辆。每辆自行车的轮胎都不一样,我知道42种不同的轮胎,这个轮胎是邓禄普牌的,但海德格尔的自行车是帕尔默牌的,英语老师告诉过我,所以这不是海德格尔的,对吧?”“那男孩呢?”接着我问道。“可能不是,那男孩没有带走自行车,”福尔摩斯说。他又看了看泥地上的车辙印。“这车辙是离开学校的方向,或者是去往学校的?”我说。“不,不,我亲爱的华生,看看那两个轮胎的痕迹,它们一样吗?”“不一样,”我说,“有一个轮胎压出的痕迹更深。”“那是后轮,”福尔摩斯说,“因为骑车人当然是坐在后轮上方的。更深的痕迹在上面。所以这辆自行车是那样穿过荒原的,远离学校。但是骑车人是谁?他是从哪里来的?”我们顺着邓禄普轮胎的痕迹往回走,几乎到了拉格德肖尔,然后在一堆牛蹄印中跟丢了它。福尔摩斯坐下来思考了几分钟。“不,”他说着站起身来,“我们必须暂时搁置这个问题。回到河边的泥地去,华生。”两个小时后,福尔摩斯发出了一声欣喜的喊叫。我赶紧跑到他身边,低头看着泥地里一道细长的痕迹。“是帕尔默老虎牌轮胎。海德格尔在这儿,”福尔摩斯喊道,“我们跟上他,华生。”有一公里多,我们顺着帕尔默轮胎的痕迹向北穿过荒原,跟丢了,又找到,再跟丢,再找到。突然,痕迹消失了。“这里发生了什么?”我说,“他摔倒了吗?”福尔摩斯仔细地查看地面,然后走到一些开着黄花的小灌木丛旁。“看,”他轻声说。在一朵黄色的花上,有一些红色的东西,那是像深褐色的血一样的颜色。“糟糕,”福尔摩斯说,“糟糕。”“我在这里能读到了什么?”“有什么东西或者什么人撞了他,他摔倒了,他站了起来,他又骑上自行车骑走了,但是没有别的痕迹,这里有些牛蹄印,但没有人的脚印。我们必须顺着血迹走,华生。”我们很快就找到了那辆自行车,然后在一个灌木丛后面,我们看到了一只鞋,并发现了一具尸体。那个男人的头上和脸上都有血,而且他已经死得很透很透了。他穿着鞋子,但没有穿袜子。我们在敞开的上衣下面看到了一件睡衣。“是那个德语老师?可怜的人,”福尔摩斯轻声说,“我们该怎么办,华生?我们不能再浪费时间了。”“但我们必须把这个可怜人的事告诉别人。要我跑回学校去吗?”我说。“不,我需要你陪着我。”福尔摩斯站起来环顾四周。“看,”他说,“那边有个工人,他可以替我们回学校去。”我去把那个工人找来,福尔摩斯给赫克斯特博士写了一张便条。那个可怜的工人看了一眼尸体,就开始飞快地向山下跑去拉格德肖尔。“现在,”福尔摩斯说,“在我们继续之前,让我们仔细想一分钟。到目前为止我们知道什么?首先,那男孩是自愿离开的。他穿戴整齐,他不是突然离开的。他想走,也许是和某人一起,也许不是。但是那个德语老师没穿袜子和衬衫就离开了,所以他走得非常突然。”“没错,”我说。“海德格尔为什么要走?”“因为从卧室的窗户,他看见了那个男孩。因为他想跟着他并把他带回来。”“目前为止还不错。但海德格尔为什么不直接跑去追那个男孩呢?一个成年人肯定能跑得比男孩快,但海德格尔没有这样做。他骑上了他的自行车,他知道他需要自行车,为什么?”“啊,”我说,“因为那个男孩有一辆自行车。”“别急着下结论,华生,想一想。海德格尔死在离学校8公里的地方,所以那男孩移动得非常快,因为要骑8公里自行车才能追上一个人。而且海德格尔死了是因为有人重重地击打他的头部。一个男孩做不到这一点,所以有人和那男孩在一起,一个男人,我们可以这么说。但是我们非常仔细地查看了周围所有的泥地,可怜的华德格尔的尸体周围,华生。我们发现了什么?一些牛蹄印,仅此而已,没有人的脚印,没有自行车的痕迹。”“福尔摩斯,”我喊道,“这不可能。”“很好,华生,”他说,“这是不可能的,所以我的思路哪里出错了,会是什么呢?”“也许,”我说,“海德格尔是在泥地里摔倒时磕破了头。”“华生?噢,我不知道,我就是不知道。来吧,来吧,华生,”福尔摩斯说,“每个谜团都有一个答案,但现在,帕尔默轮胎不能告诉我们更多了,所以我们必须回到邓禄普轮胎那里去。”我们又找到了邓禄普轮胎的痕迹并向北跟随它。这里的泥土很少,我们跟丢了痕迹。穿过荒原,我们现在可以看到左边几公里外的霍尔德内斯府邸。而在我们面前,我们可以看到切斯特菲尔德公路。

He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well,actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first,John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds, and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.moor 沼泽,荒原2.inn 旅馆原文Chapter 3:Holmes and Watson go north It was dark when we arrived at Dr Huxtable's famous school in the northern hills.We went quickly into the building, out of the cold.And at once,someone ran up with news for Dr Huxtable.He looked very surprised here."The duke is here," he told us, "The duke and Mr. Wilder, his secretary, are inmy office and come and meet them."The government minister was a tall man with a long, thin face.He had red hair and a great red beard.He looked at us and did not smile.Next to him stood Mr. Wilder, a very young man.He was small,with blue eyes and a watchful face.He spoke first, "The duke is surprised, Dr Huxtable, to see Mr.Sherlock Holmes here. He doesn't want people to know about this, you know that.So why didn't you speak to the duke before you went to London?""But we need help," said Dr Huxtable, "and I…""Well,"said the duke, "Mr. Holmes is here now, and perhaps he can help us."He looked at Holmes."I'd like you to come and stay at Holderness Hall. Mr. Holmes.""Thank you, sir," said Holmes, "but I would like to stay near to the mystery here at the school. Can I ask you one or two questions, perhaps?""Of course," said the duke."My questions are about the duchess and about money," said Holmes."The duchess knows nothing about this," said the duke, "And nobody is asking me for money.""I see,"said Holmes."You wrote a letter to your son before he disappeared. When did you post it?" "Post it?" said Mr. Wilder angrily, "The duke does not post letters. I put the letter into the post bag with all the other letters that day." A minute or two later, the Duke and Mr. Wilder left.Holmes then began at once to work on the case.We looked carefully all through the boy's bedroom and the German teacher's room.We looked at the ivy on the wall and we saw the footprints under the German teacher's window, but we learnt nothing new.Holmes then left the house and only came back after 11 o'clock.He had with him a large map.He brought it into my room and put it on the bed."This case is beginning to get interesting, Watson," he said, "look at this map, here is the school, you see, and here is the road, so did the boy and the teacher go along the road when they left? No,Watson, they did not.""How do you know that, Holmes?" I asked."Because there was a policeman here. Look, he was there from midnight to 6 in the morning and he saw nobody on the road. I spoke to him this evening. And here at the other end, you see, is the white house in. A woman there was ill and the family watched the road all night waiting for the doctor.The doctor didn't come until the morning, and the family saw nobody on the road, so the boy and the teacher did not go by road.""But Holmes, what about the bicycle?" I asked."Yes, Watson, we must remember the bicycle, of course. But first, let's look to the south and the north. To the south, we have a big river, no bicycles there then. And to the north, we have the trees called Ragged Shore, and then a great moor, the Lower Gilmore. And here is Holderness Hall, 16 km from the school by road, but only 9 km across the moor, no other houses until the Green Man Inn along the Chesterfield Road.""But the bicycle," I said again."Yes,yes, Watson," Holmes said, "it is possible to ride a bicycle across the moor, difficult, but possible."Just then, Dr Huxtable came quickly into the room."News, Mr.Holmes," he said excitedly, "I bring news."In his hands was a blue school hat."Look,this is the boy's hat, one of my gardeners found it this evening."Where? Man,where?" asked Holmes."Just north of Ragged Shore," said Dr Huxtable."Aha,"said Holmes, "what did I tell you? Watson, tomorrow we must walk north across the moor."翻译第三章:福尔摩斯与华生北上当我们抵达位于北部山区的赫克斯特博士那所著名学校时,天色已晚。为了躲避严寒,我们匆匆走进了大楼。刚一进门,就有人跑来给赫克斯特博士报信。他看起来非常惊讶。“公爵在这里,”他告诉我们,“公爵和他的秘书怀尔德先生正在我的办公室里,快去见见他们。”那位政府大臣是个高个子,脸型瘦长。他有一头红发和浓密的红色胡须。他看着我们,脸上没有一丝笑意。站在他旁边的是怀尔德先生,一个非常年轻的男子。他身材矮小,蓝眼睛,神情警惕。怀尔德先开口了:“公爵很惊讶会在这里看到夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生。你知道,他不想让公众知道这件事。所以为什么你在去伦敦之前不先跟公爵说一声呢?”“但是我们需要帮助,”赫克斯特博士说,“而且我……”“好吧,”公爵说道,“既然福尔摩斯先生已经到了,也许他能帮上我们的忙。”他看向福尔摩斯,“福尔摩斯先生,我想请你去霍尔德内斯府邸住下。”“谢谢您,先生,”福尔摩斯回答,“但我更愿意待在学校附近,方便调查这个谜团。或许我可以问您一两个问题吗?”“当然可以,”公爵说。“我的问题是关于公爵夫人和钱的,”福尔摩斯说。“公爵夫人对此一无所知,”公爵回答道,“而且没有人向我要钱。”“我明白了,”福尔摩斯说,“您在儿子失踪前给他写过一封信。您是什么时候寄出的?”“寄出?”怀尔德生气地说,“公爵从不亲自寄信。那天是我把那封信和其他所有的信件一起放进邮袋里的。”一两分钟后,公爵和怀尔德先生离开了。随后,福尔摩斯立刻开始着手调查这个案子。我们仔细地检查了那个男孩的卧室和那位德语老师的房间。我们查看了墙上的常春藤,也观察了德语老师窗下的脚印,但并没有发现什么新线索。接着福尔摩斯离开了房子,直到11点过后才回来。他带着一张大地图。他把地图带进我的房间,铺在床上。“华生,这个案子开始变得有趣了,”他说,“看看这张地图,这里是学校,你看,这里是公路。那么,那个男孩和老师离开时是沿着公路走的吗?不,华生,他们没有。”“你怎么知道的,福尔摩斯?”我问。“因为这里当时有一名警察。看,他从午夜一直值守到早上6点,他在路上没看见任何人。我今天晚上和他谈过了。还有,在另一头,你看,那里有一所白房子。那家有个女人病了,全家人整晚都在盯着路等医生。医生直到早上才来,而那家人也没在路上看到任何人。所以,那个男孩和老师不是走公路离开的。”“可是福尔摩斯,那辆自行车呢?”我问。“是的,华生,我们当然必须考虑到那辆自行车。但首先,让我们看看南边和北边。往南,有一条大河,那里没法骑自行车。往北,有一片叫‘拉格德肖尔’的树林,然后是一片巨大的荒原,叫做下吉尔莫荒原。这里是霍尔德内斯府邸,走公路离学校有16公里,但穿过荒原只有9公里。沿着切斯特菲尔德公路,在到达绿人旅馆之前没有其他房屋。”“但是那辆自行车,”我又说了一遍。“是的,是的,华生,”福尔摩斯说,“骑自行车穿过荒原是有可能的,虽然困难,但是可行。”就在这时,赫克斯特博士快步走进了房间。“消息,福尔摩斯先生,”他激动地说,“我有消息了。”他手里拿着一顶蓝色的学生帽。“看,这是那个男孩的帽子,我的一个园丁今晚发现的。”“在哪里?伙计,在哪里?”福尔摩斯问道。“就在拉格德肖尔的北边,”赫克斯特博士说。

Your wife must get some rest.M: Oh, I'm sorry, doctor. I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier.Text2M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best.Text3W: I'll see you at the theater.M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk.W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there.Text4M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail.M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us.Text5M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.Text6W: Did you know James went out of business?M: Really? When was that?W: Last month.M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened?W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten.M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W: I hope so.Text7W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school!M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So, she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time.M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon.

Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.M: How did they do that?W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.Text9M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much.W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: Hmm...interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.Text10W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

    英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯和公爵的儿子》part2

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.priory 修道院2.secretary 秘书3.ivy 常春藤4.chump 笨蛋原文Chapter 2: Dr Huxtable's Story"My school, The Priory School near Mackleton is the best school for young boys in England," began Dr Huxtable,"we have the sons of Lord Solmes, Lord Lever, and of many other important people.Three weeks ago, Mr. James Wilder, the Duke of Holderness's secretary, came to see me.The duke, he said, wanted to send his son, the 10-year-old Lord Saltire, to my school.On 1 May,young Lord Saltire arrived.He's a nice boy, and he soon began to like school life and to make friends.His life at home, you see, was not very happy.We all know about the duke and his wife, the Duchess, of course, now lives in the south of France.She left the duke about three months ago, I think.But the boy loved his mother and was very unhappy when she left.Because of this, the duke sent him to my school.And after two weeks with us, he was much happier.Then on the night of 13 May, he disappeared.The way to his bedroom is through another, larger room.Two older boys sleep there.One of them never sleeps very well, and he heard and saw nothing that night.So young Arthur did not go out through that room.His window was open and there is ivy all up the wall of the house.It is easy to get out of the window and down the ivy to the ground.So we think that he went out that way.He was in his usual school things; we think a short black coat and dark blue trousers.We looked all through his room very carefully, but we found nothing strange, nothing unusual.When I learnt the news at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, I called everybody into the big schoolroom, then we learnt more bad news.Heidegger, the German teacher, was missing too.His room is not far from Arthur's room.Heidegger went down the ivy.We know this because we found his footprints on the ground under the window.We know too,that he was only in his coat, trousers and shoes, because we found his shirt and his socks on the floor of his room, and he took his bicycle with him.Heidegger came to the school a year ago.He's a good teacher, but the boys don't like him because he isn't very friendly.So Mr. Holmes,we have two missing people, it's now Thursday and there's still no news of them."Holmes took out a little notebook and began to write things down."The boy didn't go home, of course?" He said."No, no,we asked at Holderness Hall at once," said Dr Huxtable, "the duke is very afraid for his son,and I am the unhappiest man in England. Mr. Holmes, you are a famous detective,please help me.""You make things very difficult for me," Holmes said, "how can I find marks in the ivy or on the ground after three days? Why didn't you come to me at once?""Because of the duke," Dr Huxtable said, "he doesn't like people talking about his unhappy family life.""And what are the police doing?""Well,they heard about a boy and a young man at the station early on Tuesday, they looked for them and last night they found them in Liverpool. But it was a man and his son going to visit a friend. We lost three days because of that. Andlast night, I couldn't sleep, so I took the first train down to London this morning.""Well, Dr Huxtable, some more questions," said Holmes, " did the boy take German lessons?""No, so he didn't know the German teacher well, then he probably never spoke to him,"said Dr Huxtable."Emmm", said Holmes, "does the boy have a bicycle?""No.""Was any other bicycle missing?""No.""So did the German teacher ride away on his bicycle in the night with the boy on his back?""I don't think so.""But what happened to the bicycle? Now, what about visitors? Did the boy have any visitors the day before?""No.""Did he get any letters?""Yes, one letter from his father.""Do you open the boy's letters? Dr Huxtable.""No.""Then how do you know that the letter was from the father?""I know the duke's handwriting and he says that he wrote a letter to his son.""Did the boy get any letters from France?""No, I never saw any.""Do you understand me? Dr Huxtable," Holmes said, "did someone take the boy away, or did the boy go freely because he had a letter from France?""Perhaps?I don't know," said Dr Huxtable, "he only had letters from his father,I think.""Were father and son very friendly?""The duke is not chump, not a very friendly man, Mr. Holmes. He's not a bad father, but he is a government minister and has a lot of things to do.""So the boy felt more friendly to his mother?""Yes.""Did he say that?""No.""Did the duke tell you that?""Oh no,the duke never talks about things like that.""So how do you know?""Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary told me.""I see,"said Holmes, "that last letter of the duke. Where is it now?""The boy took it with him," Dr Huxtable said, "it's not in his room. Mr.Holmes.""Our train leaves in half an hour, right?" said Holmes.He looked at me, "Watson, let's get ready and go off to the north with Dr Huxtable,perhaps we can find some answers to this mystery."翻译第二章:赫克斯特博士的故事“我的学校——位于马克勒顿附近的修道院公学,是英格兰最适合男孩就读的学校,”赫克斯特博士开始说道,“我们的学生中有索尔姆斯勋爵、莱弗勋爵的子女,以及许多其他重要人物的子弟。三周前,霍尔德诺斯公爵的秘书詹姆斯·怀尔德先生来看过我。他说,公爵想把他的儿子——十岁的萨蒂里勋爵送到我的学校来。5 月 1 日,年轻的萨蒂里勋爵到了这里。他是一个很可爱的孩子,很快他就开始喜欢上学生活,并交到了朋友。你瞧,他在家里的生活并不愉快。当然,我们都了解那位公爵和他的夫人——公爵夫人如今住在法国南部。我想,她大约三个月前离开了公爵。但这个孩子爱他的母亲,母亲离开时他非常难过。因为这个原因,公爵把他送到了我的学校。在我们这里待了两周后,他变得开心多了。然后在 5 月 13 日的晚上,他失踪了。他去卧室的路要经过另一个较大的房间。那里住着两个年长的男孩。其中一人晚上睡得不太好,那天晚上他什么也没听到也没看到。所以年轻的阿瑟没有从那个房间出去。他的窗户是开着的,房子的墙上爬满了常春藤。从窗户爬出去,沿着藤蔓滑到地面是很容易的。所以我们认为他是从那个方向出去的。他当时穿着平常上学时穿的衣服;我们猜测是一件短款的黑色外套和深蓝色的长裤。我们仔细地在他的房间里搜查了一遍,但没有发现任何奇怪或不寻常的东西。周二早上七点我得知这个消息时,把大家召集到了大教室里,然后我们又听到了更多的坏消息。德国教师海德格尔也失踪了。他的房间离阿瑟的房间不远。海德格尔是沿着藤蔓下去的。因为我们发现窗下的地上有他的脚印,所以我们知道这一点。我们也知道他只穿着外套、长裤和鞋子,因为我们在他的房间里找到了他的衬衫和袜子,而且他还带着自行车。海德格尔一年前来到这所学校。他是一位好老师,但学生们不喜欢他,因为他不太友好。所以,福尔摩斯先生,我们有两个人失踪了,现在已经是星期四了,还没有他们的消息。”福尔摩斯拿出一个小笔记本,开始写东西。“这个男孩没有回家,对吧?”他说。“不,不,我们立刻就去了霍尔德内斯庄园,”赫克斯特博士说道,“公爵非常担心他的儿子,而我是全英国最不开心的人。福尔摩斯先生,您是一位著名的侦探,请帮帮我吧。”“你让我很为难。”福尔摩斯说,“过了三天,我怎么能在常春藤上或地上找到痕迹呢?您为什么不早点来找我呢?”“因为公爵的缘故,”赫克斯特博士说道,“他不喜欢人们谈论他不幸的家庭生活。”“那警察在做什么呢?”“嗯,周二一大早他们就在局里听说了一个男孩和一个年轻人,就去找了他们,昨晚他们在利物浦找到了他们。但那是个男人和他的儿子,他们去拜访一位朋友。我们因为这个耽搁了三天。昨晚我睡不着,所以今天早上我坐第一班火车去了伦敦。”“赫克斯特博士,还有些问题要问您,”福尔摩斯说道,“那个男孩上过德语课吗?”“没有,所以他和德语老师不太熟,然后他可能从没和他说过话,”赫克斯特博士说道。“嗯...”福尔摩斯说到,“那男孩有自行车吗?”“不。”“还有其他自行车丢失了吗?”“不。”“那位德国老师是不是在夜间骑着自行车带着那个男孩离开了呢?”“我不这么认为。”“但是那辆自行车后来怎么样了呢?再来说说访客们的情况吧。那天早上,那个男孩有没有接待过什么访客呢?”“不。”“他收到过信件吗?”“是的,有一封是他父亲寄来的信。”“您会打开这个男孩的信件吗?赫克斯特博士。”“不。”“那你怎么知道这封信是父亲写的呢?”“我知道公爵的笔迹,而且他说他给儿子写过一封信。”“这个孩子从法国收到过信吗?”“没有,我从未见过。”“你明白我的意思吗,赫克斯特博士?”福尔摩斯说道,“是有人把这个孩子带走的,还是因为有来自法国的信,这个孩子能自由离开呢?”“也许吧。我不知道,”赫克斯特博士说道,“我觉得他只有父亲的信。”“父子俩关系很亲密吗?”“公爵可不是个傻瓜,也不是个很友善的人,福尔摩斯先生。他不是个坏父亲,但他是个政府官员,有很多事情要处理。”“所以这个孩子对他的母亲更亲近些?”“是的。”“他说过这话吗?”“不。”“公爵跟你说过这事吗?”“没有啊,公爵从不谈论这类事情。”“那你又是怎么知道的?”“是詹姆斯·怀尔德先生告诉我的,他是公爵的秘书。”“我明白了,”福尔摩斯说道,“公爵的最后一封信。现在它在哪里?”“那个孩子把它带走了,”赫克斯特博士说,“不在他的房间里。福尔摩斯先生。”“我们的火车半小时后就要开了,对吧?”福尔摩斯说道。他看着我,“华生,咱们准备好跟赫克斯塔普医生一起向北出发吧,也许我们能找到答案。”

We could probably just walk by the lake, and I’llask Mike to join us.M: That sounds like fun. Let’s doit!(Text8)W: Welcome to our program, Dr.Peterson. Let’s see what questions we’ve got for you today. Here’s one: Cancats see color?M: Sort of. In the wild, manycats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your catcan’t see bright colors, such as red and green, but it picks up more shades ofblue, yellow, and gray than humans do.W: And why do cats “give” deadbirds to their owners?M: When your cat drops a deadbird at your feet, she isn’t bringing you a present. Most cats just drag foodhome because it’s a safe place to eat. A cat’s mom also brings home things toher children to help them practice hunting. So a female cat without childrenmay bring these “treats” to her owner instead. You may not like them, but atleast, you don’t have to write her a thank-you note.(Text9)W: How is little Ed doing at thekindergarten, Jack?M: Oh, he’s doing fairly well.It’s been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are prettyused to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off onthe first day, though!W: I think that’s a normalreaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don’t you? Howdoes he get there?M: Macy walks there with himevery morning, unless the weather is bad. When it rains, they’ll drive.W: And is Ed enjoyingkindergarten?M: Yeah, he loves to have otherkids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together.W: What do the teachers at thekindergarten say about him?M: They said he is bright andthat he’s starting to learn how to tell time. Isn’t that fantastic?W: That is fantastic. It soundslike everything goes well.(Text10)W: My name is Emily. I had been adancer for quite a long time—I started studying ballet when I was six yearsold. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I waseighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wantedto do it professionally. So, I applied successfully for the training program atthe School of Toronto Dance Theater and moved to Toronto to attend the program.That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated onscholarship and danced professionally for ten years, but after all those years,I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of aburden than a joy; I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself todance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often, but it makes me happy tothink that I’ll never have to go to another training session again.

    Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示1.kidnapping 绑架原文Chapter 1: Sherlock Holmes has a VisitorWhen visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things.Sometimes,they put their heads in their hands and cried.Sometimes,they talked and talked and couldn't stop.And sometimes,they just sat there and didn't say a word.But nobody was more surprising than Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable.He was a large man, tall, well dressed, and important looking.He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it.He sat there with his eyes closed, looking white and ill.I ran to get some water for him, then I got my Dr's bag and looked at him carefully."What is it, Watson?" said Holmes."He's all right, I think, " I said, "He's just very, very tired and probably hungry, too. "Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton in the north of England."Mackleton? That's a long way," said Holmes, "it'snot 12 o'clock yet, so he probably left home before 5 o'clock this morning."After a minute or two, the man began to move and his eyes opened.A second later,he got quickly to his feet.His face was now red and unhappy."Mr.Holmes, I am so sorry I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning, that's why I felt ill.""When you feel better?" I began."I'm better now. Thank you," said our visitor, "and I want very much to talk to Mr. Holmes to ask him something. Please, Mr.Holmes, come back to Mackleton to with me by the next train.""I'm sorry, that's not possible," said Holmes, "I'm working on two important cases, the Ferris case and the Abergavenny case. I cannot leave London at the moment.""Important cases? "our visitor cried, "but this case is very important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke of Holderness three days ago.""What? The government minister?""Yes, that's so you didn't know, it's not in the newspapers yet, that's true.""But Sherlock Holmes always hears news before other people."I thought.Holmes went to get one of his books and began to read the page about the Duke of Holderness."Holderness,6th Duke. Wife: Edith, daughter of Lord Grey. One child: Lord Arthur Saltire,houses in London, Lancashire and Wales. Government minister for this, for that, for the other. Well,well…" said Holmes, "he's one of the greatest men in the country.""One of the greatest and one of the richest," said Dr Huxtable, "I know, Mr.Holmes, that you don't work for money, but I must tell you this. The duke is offering 5000 pounds for news of his son and another 1000 pounds for the name of his kidnapper.""That,"said Holmes, "is a most interesting offer."He looked at me."Watson,I think we are going with Dr Huxtable back to the north of England this afternoon."Holmes then looked at Dr Huxtable."Now, sir, tell me everything, what happened, when did it happen, how did it happen, and why does Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable come to ask for my help three days later?"Our visitor drank some water and began his story.翻译第一章:夏洛克·福尔摩斯迎来访客当访客们来到贝克街看望夏洛克·福尔摩斯时,他们常常会做出一些令人惊讶的举动。有时,他们会双手抱头哭泣。有时,他们会不停地交谈,无法停止。还有时,他们只是静静地坐着,一言不发。但没有人比索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士更令人惊讶了。他是个身材高大、衣着讲究、看上去很有身份的男人。他走进房间,走到一张大椅子前,突然就瘫坐在了椅子上。他闭着眼睛坐在那里,脸色苍白,看起来病恹恹的。我跑去给他拿来一些水,然后拿上我的医生包,仔细地打量着他。“怎么了,华生?”福尔摩斯问道。“我觉得他没事,”我说,“他只是非常非常疲惫,可能还饿了。”福尔摩斯查看了那个人的口袋,发现里面有一张从英格兰北部麦克勒顿出发的火车票。“麦克勒顿?那可远着呢,”福尔摩斯说,“现在才 12 点,所以他大概是在今天早上 5 点前就离开家的。”过了一两分钟,那个人开始动起来,眼睛也睁开了。片刻之后,他迅速站了起来。他的脸现在红了,显得很不高兴。“福尔摩斯先生,非常抱歉,我今天早上竟然什么都没吃也没喝,所以才身体不适。”“那你感觉好些了吗?”我问道。“现在好多了。谢谢你。”我们的访客说道,“我非常想和福尔摩斯先生谈谈,向他请教一些问题。拜托了,福尔摩斯先生,能和我一起乘坐下一班火车回到麦克勒顿吗?”“很抱歉,这不行。”福尔摩斯说道,“我目前正忙于处理两起重要的案件,费里斯案和阿伯加文尼案。此刻我无法离开伦敦。”“重要的案件?”访客惊呼道,“但这个案子也很重要。你知道三天前霍尔德伦斯公爵的儿子被绑架的事吧。”“什么?那位政府部长?”“是的,这样你就不知道这件事了,因为它还没有登报,这是真的。”“但夏洛克·福尔摩斯总是比其他人更早得知消息。”我想。福尔摩斯去拿了一本书,然后开始阅读有关霍尔德内斯公爵的那一章节。“霍尔德内斯,第六代公爵。妻子:伊迪丝,格雷勋爵的女儿。有一个孩子:亚瑟·萨特里勋爵,他在伦敦、兰开夏和威尔士都有房产。担任这个部门、那个部门、其他部门的政府部长。嗯,嗯……”福尔摩斯说道,“他是这个国家最杰出的人物之一。”“他是最杰出的,也是最富有的之一。”赫克斯特博士说道,“福尔摩斯先生,我知道您不为金钱工作,但我必须告诉您这件事。这位公爵出价 5000 英镑想要获取有关他儿子的消息,另外还出价 1000 英镑想要知道绑架他的凶手的名字。”“那,”福尔摩斯说道,“这是一个非常有趣的提议。”他看向我。“华生,我觉得今天下午我们会和赫克斯塔布尔医生一起回到英格兰北部。”然后霍姆斯看向赫克斯塔布尔医生。“现在,先生,请告诉我一切,发生了什么,什么时候发生的,是怎么发生的,还有为什么索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士三天后会来向我求助?”我们的访客喝了些水,开始讲述他的故事。

If you give us your number, we’ll call you when the CD arrives.(Text3)W: We’d better be going now, or we’ll be late for the train.M: No rush. It’s 8:30 now. We still have two hours.(Text4)M: I am so tired of driving all those hours to work.W: Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to drive two hours to work each way. But now I live within walking distance of my office. I don’t even need a bike.(Text5)W: Hi, Andy! I didn’t see you in Prof. Smith’s class yesterday. What happened?M: Well... I had a headache, so I called him and asked for sick leave.(Text6)W: The biggest mistake I made,uh, was leaving college in my last year and not completing my education. So I’m thinking of going back to school.M: School? To study what?W: Ecology. I’m interested in the relationship between humans and nature.M: Cool. Is it what you studied years ago?W: No, I majored in Chemistry then.(Text7)M: Good morning, madam. I am your guide for this trip.W: How lovely! Could you tell me about the hotel I’m going to stay at?M: Yes, of course! The Grand Hotel opened in 1990, and it sits on the seaside along the South Coast Highway.It is the most beautiful hotel here.W: That sounds great!M: And there are some restaurants outside, so at dinnertime, you’d have a lot of choices.W: That’s really nice! I like to have some local foods while traveling. What about the scenery around it?M: The hotel has the best views of the Pacific Ocean.W: Oh, I think I will love this hotel.(Text8)W: Hi Mike!M: Hi Alice! Nice to see you.

You can see the bathroom, too.W: Yes. It’s very nice but I will have to ask my friend first and we will come together. I understand it is eight hundred dollars a month.M: Yes. But a few blocks downtown would be much more expensive.W: Well, thank you. I will be in touch.(Text10)M: Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper, and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So I entered the City College to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college, because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you’re 15 years old in my country,you finish school and then learn a trade, and that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.tarts 馅饼2.thrones 王座3.trumpet 小号原文Chapter 7: Who Stole the TartsThe King and Queen of Hearts were sitting on their thrones when Alice and the Griffin arrived.There were a great crowd of birds and animals and all the pack of cards.Soldiers stood all around the Knave of Hearts and near the King with the White Rabbit with a trumpet in one hand.In the middle of the room, there was a table with a large plate of tarts on it.“They look good,” thought Alice, who was feeling a little hungry.Then the White Rabbit called out loudly, “Silence, the trial of the Knave of Hearts will now begin.”He took out along piece of paper and read, “The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts all on a summer day. The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts and took them all away.”“Very good,”said the King, “Call the first witness.”Alice looked at the jury, who were now writing everything down.It was a very strange jury.Some of the jurymen were animals and the others were birds.Then the White Rabbit blew his trumpet three times and called out first witness.The first witness was the Hatter, he came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other hand.“I am very sorry, your Majesty,” he said, “I was in the middle of tea when the trial began.”“Take off your hat,” the King said.“It isn't mine,” said the Hatter.“Stolen, write that down,” the King said to the jury.“I keep hats to sell,” explained the Hatter, “I don't have a hat myself. I'm a hatter.”“Give your evidence,” said the King, “or will cut your head off.”The Hatter's face turned white.“I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” He began in a shaking voice.Just then, Alice had a strange feeling.After a minute or two, she understood what it was.“Don't push like that,” said the dormouse who was sitting next to her, “I'm nearly falling off my seat.”“I'm very sorry,” Alice said politely, “I'm getting bigger and taller, you see.”“But you can't do that here,” said the dormouse crossly, and he got up a move to another seat.The Hatter was still giving evidence, but nobody could understand a word of it.The King looked at the Queen, and the Queen looked at the executioner.The unhappy Hatter saw this and dropped his bread and butter.“I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” he said again.“You're a very poor speaker,” said the King.He turned to the White Rabbit, “Call the next witness,” he said.The next witness was the Duchess's cook, who spoke very angrily and said that she would not give any evidence.The King looked worried and told the White Rabbit to call another witness.Alice watched while the White Rabbit looked at the names on his piece of paper.Then to her great surprise, he called out loudly, “Alice.”“Here,” cried Alice, jumping to her feet.“What do you know about these tarts?” said the King.“Nothing,”said Alice.The Queen was looking hard at Alice now.She said, “All people a mile high must leave the room.”“I'm not a mile high,” said Alice, “And I won't leave the room, I want to hear the evidence.”“There is no more evidence,” said the King very quickly, “And now the jury will…”“Your Majesty,”said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry, “We've just found this letter, there's no name on it, but I think the Knave wrote it.”“No, I didn't,”said the Knave loudly.“Read it to us,” said the King.“Where shall I begin? your Majesty,” ask the rabbit.“Begin at the beginning,” said the King, “And go on until you get to the end, then stop.”Everybody listened very carefully, while the White Rabbit read these words.“They tell me,you have been to her and talked of me to him. She thought I was a gardener, but said I could not swim. He tells them that I have not gone. We know that this is true. If she decides to hurry on, what will they do to you? I gave her one,they gave him two. You gave us three or more. They all returned from him to you, but they were mine before.“That's a very important piece of evidence,” said the King.He looked very pleased, “Now, the jury must…”“If anybody in the jury can explain that letter,” said Alice.She was not afraid of anything now, because she was much bigger than everybody in the room.“I'll give him sixpence.”“It's all nonsense, it doesn't mean anything.”The jury busily wrote this down, she thinks it's all nonsense.“All nonsense,eh,” said the King.He read some of the words again.“But said I could not swim. You can't swim, can you?”, he said to the Knave.The Knave's face was sad.“Do I look like a swimmer?” he said, and he didn't, because he was made of paper.The King smiled.“I understand everything now,” he said, “There are the tarts, and here is the Knave of Hearts,and now the jury must decide who the thief is.”“No, no,” said the Queen, “Off with his head, the jury can say what he thinks later.”“What nonsense,” said Alice loudly, “The jury must decide first.You can't…”“Be quiet,”said the Queen, her face turning red.“I won't,”said Alice.“Off with her head,” screamed the Queen.Nobody moved.“It doesn't matter what you say,” said Alice, “You're only a pack of cards.”Then the pack of cards flew up into the sky and began to fall on Alice's face.She gave a little scream and woke up.She was lying next to her sister and under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face.“Wake up,Alice, dear,” said her sister, “You've been asleep a long time.”“Oh, I've had a very curious dream,” said Alice, and she told her sister all about the strange adventures in her wonderful dream.翻译第七章:是谁偷走了馅饼?红心国王和红心王后正坐在他们的王座上,这时爱丽丝和狮鹫兽走了进来。房间里聚集了一大群鸟兽和所有的扑克牌。士兵们站在红心侍从周围,还有国王和拿着喇叭的白兔。房间中央有一张桌子,上面放着一大盘馅饼。“这些看起来不错,”爱丽丝心想,她感到有点饿了。然后白兔大声喊道:“安静,对红心侍从的审判现在开始。”他拿出一张长长的纸条念道:“红心王后,在一个夏日里她做了些馅饼。红心侍从,他偷了那些馅饼并全部拿走了。”“很好,”国王说,“叫第一位证人上台。”爱丽丝看着陪审团,他们正在把所有的事情都记录下来。这是一个非常奇怪的陪审团。有些陪审员是动物,其余的是鸟类。然后白兔吹了三次他的喇叭,然后叫第一位证人上台。第一位证人是帽匠,他手里拿着一个茶杯,另一只手里拿着一片面包和黄油。“非常抱歉,陛下,”他说道,“审判开始的时候我正喝着茶呢。”“摘下你的帽子吧,”国王说道。“那不是我的帽子,”帽匠回答道。“记下来,是偷来的,”国王对陪审团说道。“我收集帽子是为了出售的,”帽匠解释道,“我自己没有帽子。我就是个帽匠。”“请陈述你的证词,”国王说道,“否则我会砍掉你的脑袋。”帽匠的脸色变得煞白。“陛下,我是个穷苦人,”他用颤抖的声音说道。就在这时,爱丽丝有一种奇怪的感觉。过了一两分钟,她明白了那是什么感觉。“别那样推了,”坐在她旁边的一只睡鼠说道,“我快从座位上掉下来了。”“非常抱歉,”爱丽丝礼貌地说道,“您瞧,我正在长大和变高呢。”“但你不能在这里这么做,”那只睡鼠生气地说道,并起身走向另一个座位。帽匠仍在陈述证词,但没人能听懂他说的话。国王看向王后,王后看向刽子手。那个不开心的帽匠看到这一幕,把他的面包和黄油掉在地上。“陛下,我是个穷苦人,”他又说道。“你是个非常糟糕的演说者,”国王说道。他转向白兔说道:“叫下一个证人来。”下一个证人是公爵夫人的厨师,他非常生气地说道,说自己不会提供任何证词。国王显得很担忧,于是让白兔叫另一位证人。爱丽丝看着这一切,只见白兔看着他那张纸上的名字。然后令她大为惊讶的是,他大声喊道:“爱丽丝。”“在这儿呢,”爱丽丝跳起身说道。“这些馅饼有什么可说的?”国王问道。“没什么,”爱丽丝回答道。女王此时正紧紧地盯着爱丽丝。她说:“所有身高达到一英里的人都必须离开房间。”“我不是一英里高,”爱丽丝说道,“而且我不会离开房间,我想听听证词。”“没有更多的证词了,”国王很快说道,“现在陪审团……”“陛下,”白兔急忙跳起来说道,“我们刚刚找到了这封信,上面没有名字,但我认为是侍从写的。”“不,我没有写,”侍从大声说道。“读给我们听听吧,”国王说道。“我从哪里开始读呢,陛下?”兔子问道。“从开头读起,”国王说道,“一直读到结尾,然后停下来。”所有人都聚精会神地听着,而白兔则念着这些话。“他们告诉我,你曾去见过她,并向他提及了我。她以为我是园丁,但说我不会游泳。他告诉他们我没有离开。我们知道这是真的。如果她决定加快行程,他们会对你做什么呢?我给了她一枚金币,他们给了那个小偷两枚。而你们给了我们三枚或更多。它们都从那个小偷那里传到了你们这里,但它们原本都是我的。“这是一条非常重要的证据,”国王说道。他看起来非常高兴,“现在,陪审团必须……”“如果陪审团中有谁能解释那封信的话,”爱丽丝说道。她现在什么都不怕了,因为她比房间里的所有人都要高大得多。“我给他六便士。”“全是胡说八道,毫无意义。”陪审团忙着把这些记录下来,她觉得全是胡说八道。“全是胡说吗?”国王说道。他又读了其中一些话。“但他说我不会游泳。你会游泳吗?”他对侍从说道。侍从的脸很悲伤。“我看起来像游泳者吗?”他说道,而他不是,因为他是由纸做的。国王笑了。“现在我全都明白了,”他说道,“这里有馅饼,还有红心侍从,现在陪审团得决定谁是小偷。”“不,不,”王后说道,“砍掉他的脑袋吧,陪审团之后再发表意见如何?”“胡说八道,”爱丽丝大声说道,“陪审团必须先做出决定。你不能……”“安静点,”王后说道,她的脸涨得通红。“我不听,”爱丽丝说道。“砍掉她的头!”女王怒吼道。所有人都一动不动。“不管你说什么都没用,”爱丽丝说道,“你不过是一副纸牌罢了。”随后那副纸牌飞向天空,接着开始落在爱丽丝的脸上。她轻声尖叫了一声,然后就醒了。她正躺在姐姐身边,身处树林之下,还有一些树叶落在她的脸上。“醒醒,爱丽丝,亲爱的,”姐姐说道,“你已经睡了很久了。”“哦,我做了一个非常奇怪的梦,”爱丽丝说道,并向姐姐讲述了她那奇妙梦中那些奇异的冒险经历。

Your Majesty,” said Alice very politely.But she thought to herself, “They're only a pack of cards. I don't need to be afraid of them.”“And who are these?” said the Queen, looking at the three gardeners.Then she saw the white roses, and her face turned red and angry.“Off with their heads,” she shouted, and soldiers hurried up to take the gardeners away.The Queen turned to Alice.“Can you play croquet?” She shouted.“Yes,” shouted Alice.“Come on,”then shouted the Queen.The crowd began to move on, and Alice went with them.“It's a very fine day,” said a worried voice in her ear.Alice saw that the White Rabbit was by her side.“Very fine,”said Alice.“Where's the Duchess?”Said the rabbit in a hurried voice.“She's in prison, waiting for execution.”“What for?”said Alice.But just then the Queen shouted, “Get two places, and the game began.”It was the strangest game of croquet in Alice's life.The balls were hedgehogs and the mallets were flamingos, and the hoops were made by soldiers who turned over and stood on their hands and feet.Alice held her flamingo's body under her arm, but the flamingo turned its long neck first this way and then that way.At last, Alice was ready to hit the ball with the flamingo's head, but by then the hedgehog was tired of waiting and was walking away across the croquet ground.And when both the flamingo and the hedgehog were ready, there was no hoop.The soldiers,too, were always getting up and walking away.“It really was a very difficult game,” Alice thought.The players all played at the same time, and they were always arguing and fighting for hedgehogs.Nobody could agree about anything.Very soon, the Queen was wildly angry and went around shouting “off with his head” or “off with her head” about once a minute.Alice began to feel worried.“The Queen is sure to argue with me soon,” she thought, “And what will happen to me then?They're cutting people's heads off all the time here. I'm surprised there is anyone left alive.”Just then she saw something very strange, she watched carefully.And after a minute or two, she saw that the thing was a grin.“It's the Cheshire Cat,” she said to herself, “Now I'll have somebody to talk to.”“How are you getting on,” said the cat.When its mouth appeared, Alice waited.“I can't talk to something without ears,” she thought.Slowly, the cat's eyes, then its ears, and then the rest of its head appeared.But it stopped at the neck, and its body did not appear.Alice began to tell the cat all about the game.“It's very difficult to play,” she said. “Everybody argues all the time, and the hooks and the hedgehogs walk away.”“How do you like the Queen,” said the cat quietly.“I don't,”said Alice. “She's very——just.” Then she saw the Queen behind her, so she went on clever, she's the best player here.The Queen smiled and walked past.“Who are you talking to,” said the King.He came up behind Alice and looked at the cat's head in surprise.“It's a friend of mine, a Cheshire cat,” said Alice.“I'm not sure that I like it,” said the King, “But it can touch my hand if it likes.”“I prefer not to,” said the cat.“Well,” said the King angrily.He called out to the Queen, “My dear, there's a cat here, and I don't like it.”The Queen did not look round off with its head, she shouted, “Call for the executioner.”Alice was a little worried for her friend, but when the executioner arrived, everybody began to argue.“I can't cut off a head,” said the executioner, “If there isn't a body cut it off from.”“You can cut the head off,” said the King, “From anything that's got a head.”“If somebody doesn't do something quickly,” said the Queen, “I'll catch everybody's head off.”Nobody liked that plan very much, so they all turned to Alice.“And what do you say?” they cried.“The cat belongs to the Duchess,” said Alice carefully, “Perhaps you could ask her about it.”“She's in prison,” the Queen said to the executioner, “Bring her here at once.”But then the cat's head slowly began to vanish, and when the executioner came back with the Duchess,there was nothing there.The King ran wildly up and down looking for the cat, and the Duchess put her arm round Alice.“I'm so pleased to see you again, my dear,” she said.“Let's get on with the game,” the Queen said angrily, and Alice followed her back to the croquet ground.The game went on, but all the time, the Queen was arguing and shouting “off with his head” or “off with her head”.Soon there were no hoops left, because the soldiers who were the hoops were too busy taking everybody to prison.And at the end,there were only three players left, the King, the Queen and Alice.The Queen stopped shouting and said to Alice, “Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?”“No,” said Alice, “I'm not sure what a Mock Turtle is.”“Then come with me,” said the Queen, “They found the mock turtle down by the sea. Next to him was a Griffin, asleep in the sun.”Then the Queen hurried away, saying “I have to get on with some executions.”The Griffin woke up and said sleepily to Alice, “It's just talk, you know?They never execute anybody.”Alice was pleased to hear this.She felt a little afraid of the Griffin and the Mock Turtle because they were so large, but they were very friendly and sang songs and told her many stories about their lives.The Mock Turtle was in the middle of a very sad song, when they all heard a shout a long way away, “It's beginning.”“Come on, we must hurry,” said the Griffin.It took Alice by the hand and began to run.翻译第六章:女王的槌球游戏在门边有一棵玫瑰树,还有三个园丁正忧心忡忡地看着那些玫瑰。“怎么了?”爱丽丝对他们说道。“你看,小姐,”第一个园丁说道,“这些玫瑰是白色的,但是女王只喜欢红色的玫瑰,而且她……”“女王,”第二个园丁说道。突然,三个人一下子趴到了地上。爱丽丝转过身,看到了一大群人。那是几副扑克牌在花园里走着,他们是梅花花色。他们是士兵和方块花色。还有十个小孩子,他们是红桃花色。接着是几位国王和几位王后。然后爱丽丝看到了那只白兔,后面跟着的是红桃侍从,最后是王后、国王和红桃王后。当人群靠近爱丽丝时,他们都停了下来,看着她。然后女王说道:“你是谁?”“我的名字是爱丽丝,陛下,”爱丽丝非常有礼貌地说道。但她心里想着:“他们只是几副牌而已。我不需要害怕他们。”“这些是谁?”女王看着那三个园丁问道。然后她看到了那些白玫瑰,她的脸变得通红且愤怒起来。“砍掉他们的脑袋吧!”她大喊道,随后士兵们迅速上前将园丁们带走。女王转向爱丽丝。“你会打槌球吗?”她喊道。“会的。”爱丽丝喊道。“来吧。”女王喊道。人群开始散去,爱丽丝也跟着他们走了。“今天天气真好。”她耳边传来一个担忧的声音。爱丽丝看到白兔就在她身旁。“真好。”爱丽丝说道。“公爵夫人在哪里?”兔子急切地问道。“她在监狱里,等待处决。”“为什么?”爱丽丝问道。但就在这时,女王喊道:“准备两个场地,游戏开始了。”这是爱丽丝一生中见过的最奇怪的槌球比赛。球是刺猬,球棒是火烈鸟,球圈则是由士兵们翻转过来并手脚着地做成的。爱丽丝把火烈鸟的身体夹在胳膊下,但火烈鸟先是把长长的脖子朝这边转,然后又朝那边转。最后,爱丽丝准备用火烈鸟的头去击球,但这时刺猬已经厌倦了等待,正穿过槌球场走开去了。而当火烈鸟和刺猬都准备好后,却没有球圈了,士兵们也总是起身离开。“这确实是一场非常艰难的比赛。”爱丽丝心想。所有选手同时进行比赛,他们总是争吵和争夺刺猬。没有人能达成一致意见。很快,女王变得非常愤怒,每隔一分钟就会大声喊叫“砍掉他的头”或者“砍掉她的头”。爱丽丝开始感到担忧。“女王很快肯定会和我争论起来,”她想,“那我将会怎么样呢?这里一直都在砍人的脑袋。我很惊讶居然还有人活着。”就在那时,她看到了一些非常奇怪的东西,她仔细观察着。过了一两分钟,她看到那东西竟然是一个笑容。“这是柴郡猫,”她自言自语道,“现在我终于有可以交谈的人了。”“你好吗?”猫说道。当它的嘴巴出现时,爱丽丝等待着。“没有耳朵的东西,我无法与之交谈,”她想。慢慢地,猫的眼睛、然后是它的耳朵,接着是它的整个头部都出现了。但它的脖子处停了下来,它的身体没有出现。爱丽丝开始向猫讲述比赛的情况。“比赛非常艰难,”她说。“每个人都在不停地争论,而那些球圈和刺猬们则离开了。”“你觉得女王怎么样?”那只猫轻声问道。“我不...,”爱丽丝回答道,“她……非常公正。”她看到女王在她身后,于是她继续说道,聪明的家伙,她是这里最出色的辩手。女王微笑着走过去了。“你在和谁说话?”国王问道。他走到爱丽丝身后,惊讶地看着猫的脑袋。“这是我的一个朋友,一只柴郡猫,”爱丽丝说。“我不确定我喜欢它,”国王说,“但要是它愿意,它可以触碰我的手。”“我不愿意,”猫说道。“好吧,”国王生气地说道。他对着女王喊道,“亲爱的,这里有一只猫,我不喜欢它。”女王没有转过头去看它的脑袋,她大喊道,“叫刽子手来。”爱丽丝为她的朋友感到有些担心,但当刽子手到来时,所有人都开始争论起来。“我不能砍掉一个脑袋,”刽子手说,“如果没有身体,就无法将其砍下。”“你可以把脑袋砍下来,”国王说,“任何有脑袋的东西都可以。”“要是有人不尽快采取行动的话,”女王说,“我会把大家的脑袋都摘下来。”没有人喜欢这个计划,于是他们都转向了爱丽丝。“那你怎么说?”他们大声问道。“这只猫是公爵夫人养的,”爱丽丝小心翼翼地说道,“或许你们可以问问她这件事。”“她在监狱里,”女王对刽子手说,“马上把她带来。”但随后,那只猫的脑袋开始慢慢消失,当刽子手带着公爵夫人回来时,那里什么都没有了。国王疯狂地跑来跑去寻找那只猫,而公爵夫人则搂住了爱丽丝。“很高兴再次见到你,亲爱的,”她说。“咱们继续游戏吧,”王后生气地说,然后爱丽丝跟着她回到了槌球场地。游戏继续进行着,但整个过程中,王后一直在争吵并喊着“砍掉他的头”或者“砍掉她的头”。很快,所有的球圈都不见了,因为那些充当球圈的士兵们忙着把所有人送进监狱。最后,只剩下国王、王后和爱丽丝三个人了。王后停止了喊叫,对爱丽丝说:“你见过假海龟吗?”“没有,”爱丽丝说,“我不太清楚假海龟是什么。”“那跟我来吧,”王后说,“他们在海边找到了假海龟。它旁边是一只狮鹫,正躺在阳光下睡着呢。”然后王后匆匆离去,说:“我得继续执行一些死刑了。”狮鹫醒来后,睡眼惺忪地对爱丽丝说:“这只是说说而已,你知道吗?他们从不处决任何人。”爱丽丝听到这话很高兴。她对狮鹫和假海龟有些害怕,因为它们体型庞大,但它们非常友好,还为她唱起了歌,并给她讲述了关于它们生活的许多故事。假海龟正在唱着一首非常悲伤的歌,这时他们突然听到远处传来一声喊叫:“开始了。”“快点,我们得赶紧了。”格里芬说道。爱丽丝被狮鹫拉住手,便开始奔跑起来。

Are you going to take them with you?M: Well, I’d like to, but I don’t know much about the situation at the moment…you know, about schools and all that. But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months’ time. I don’t think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own...I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don’t see that much of them now as it is. W: Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is normally in our company, I suppose. M: Yeah. Well, we’ll see. Let me pay for the coffee. W: No, no. I’ll pay.Text 10W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our program. I’m Jenny Jackson. The weather here in Juárez has become unbearable. With no rains for over a year, the city is suffering from unusually hot weather. Some light showers have been forecast since last month, but all of t hem have been effective in surrounding areas. Summer has not even started yet, but temperatures have reached 40 degrees centigrade in the past three days. And people have been warned not to go out of their homes — not if you walk on foot, at least — between 11 in the morning and 7 in the evening. Little kids and the elderly are the ones who have suffered the most from this extreme heat wave. They must drink water all the time. To help our audience have a better understanding of this extreme weather, we have invited Prof. Torres from University of Mexico to our studio this evening.

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.Hatter 帽匠2.dormouse 睡鼠原文Chapter 5: A Mad Tea PartyThere was a table under a tree outside the house, and the March hare and the Hatter were having tea.A dormouse was sitting between them, asleep.The three of them were all sitting together at one corner of the table, but the table was large and there were many other seats.Alice sat down in a big chair at one end.“Have some coffee,” the March Hare said in a friendly voice.Alice looked all round the table, but she could only see a teapot.“I don't see any coffee,” she said.“There isn't any,” said the March Hare.“Then why did you ask me to have some,” said Alice crossly, “It wasn't very polite of you.”“It wasn't very polite of you to sit down. We haven't invited you to tea,” said the March Hare.“But there are lots of seats,” said Alice.“Your hair's too long,” said the Hatter, looking at Alice with interest.“It's not polite to say things like that,” said Alice.The Hatter looked surprised, but he said, “Why is a bird like a desk?”Alice was pleased.She enjoyed playing word games, so she said, “That's an easy question.”“Do you mean you know the answer,” said the March Hare.“Yes,” said Alice.“Then you must say what you mean,” the March Hare said.“I do,” Alice said quickly, “Well, I mean what I say and that's the same thing, you know?”“No, it isn't,” said the Hatter, “Listen to this. I see what I eat means one thing, but I eat what I see means something very different.”Alice did not know what to say to this, so she took some tea and some bread and butter, while she thought about it.The dormouse woke up for a minute and then went to sleep again.After a while,the Hatter took out his watch, shook it, then looked at it sadly.“Two days slow,I told you that butter wasn't good for watches,” he said angrily to the March Hare.“It was the best butter,” said the March Hare sadly.Alice was looking at the watch with interest.“It's a strange watch,” she said, “it shows the day of the week, but not the time.”“But we know the time,” said the Hatter, “It's always 6 o'clock here.”Alice suddenly understood.“Is that why there are all these cups and plates?” She said, “It's always tea time here, and you go on moving round the table, is that right? But what happens when you come to the beginning again?”“Don't ask questions,” said the March Hare crossly, “You must tell us a story now.”“But I don't know any stories,” said Alice.Then the March Hare and the Hatter turn to the dormouse.“Wake up,dormouse,” they shouted loudly in its ears, “Tell us a story.” “Yes, please do,” said Alice.The dormouse woke up and quickly began to tell a story.But a few minutes later, it was asleep again.The March Hare poured a little hot tea on its nose and the Hatter began to look for a clean plate.Alice decided to leave and walked away into the wood.She looked back once and the March Hare and the Hatter were trying to put the dormouse into the teapot.“Well, I won't go there again,” said Alice, “What a stupid tea party it was.”Just then she saw a door in one of the trees.“How curious,” she thought, “But everything is strange today. I think I'll go in.”So she went in, and there she was back in the long room with the little glass table.At once she picked up the gold key from the table, unlocked the little door into the garden, and then began to eat a piece of mushroom.When she was down to about 30 centimeters high, she walked through the door, and then at last she was in the beautiful garden with its green trees and bright flowers.翻译第五章:疯狂的茶会房子外面的一棵树下有一张桌子,三月兔和帽匠正在那里喝茶。一只睡鼠坐在他们中间,正酣睡着。他们三个人都坐在桌子的一角,但桌子很大,还有很多其他的座位。爱丽丝在桌子的一端坐进了一把大椅子上。“来点咖啡吧,”三月兔用友好的声音说道。爱丽丝环顾了一下桌子,但她只看到一个茶壶。“我看不到任何咖啡,”她说。“没有啊,”三月兔说道。“那你为什么让我来喝呢,”爱丽丝生气地说,“你这样不太礼貌。”“你不应该坐下来的。我们没有邀请你来喝茶,”三月兔说道。“但有很多座位啊,”爱丽丝说。“你的头发太长了,”帽匠饶有兴趣地看着爱丽丝说道。“说这种话不太礼貌,”爱丽丝说。帽匠看起来很惊讶,但他说:“为什么一只鸟像一张桌子呢?”爱丽丝很高兴。她喜欢玩文字游戏,所以她说:“这是个简单的问题。”“你是说你知道答案吗,”三月兔说道。“是的,”爱丽丝说。“那你必须说出你的意思,”三月兔说。“是的,”爱丽丝迅速说道,“嗯,我所说的就是我所想的,这意思是一样的,你知道吧?”“不,不是这样的,”帽匠说道,“听我说。我看的东西意味着一件事,但我吃的东西意味着完全不同的另一件事。”爱丽丝对此不知如何回答,于是她拿了一些茶和面包黄油,一边思考着,一边继续坐着。睡鼠醒了一会儿,然后又睡去了。过了一会儿,帽匠拿出他的手表,摇了摇,然后悲伤地看了看。“慢了两天,我跟你说过黄油不适合用在钟表上,”他生气地对三月兔说道。“那是最好的黄油啊,”三月兔悲伤地说道。爱丽丝饶有兴趣地看着那块手表。“这是一块奇怪的手表,”她说,“它能显示一周中的日期,但不显示时间。”“但我们知道时间的,”帽匠说道,“这里总是六点钟。”爱丽丝突然明白了。“这就是为什么这里有这么多杯子和盘子?”她说,“这里总是茶点时间,而你们一直在围着桌子转,对吧?但当你再次回到开头的时候会怎样呢?”“别问问题了,”三月兔粗暴地说道,“你现在必须给我们讲个故事。”“但我没有故事可讲,”爱丽丝说道。然后,三月兔和帽匠转向睡鼠。“醒醒,睡鼠,”他们大声对着它喊道,“给我们讲个故事吧。”“好呀,快讲吧。”爱丽丝说道。睡鼠醒了过来,很快就开始讲故事。但几分钟后,它又睡着了。三月兔往它鼻子上倒了一点热茶,帽匠则开始寻找一个干净的盘子。爱丽丝决定离开,走进森林里去了。她回头望了一眼,只见三月兔和帽匠正试图把睡鼠放进茶壶里。“算了,我不会再去了,”爱丽丝说道,“这场茶会真是太愚蠢了。”就在这时,她看到一棵树上有一扇门。“真奇怪,”她心想,“但今天一切都很奇怪。我想我还是要进去看看。”于是她走了进去,回到了那间长长的房间里,还有那个小玻璃桌子。她立刻从桌子上拿起金钥匙,打开了通往花园的小门,然后开始吃了一片蘑菇。当她缩到大约 30 厘米高时,她穿过那扇门,最后终于来到了那个美丽的花园里,那里有绿树和鲜艳的花朵。
