I had a big breakfast, and feel like a bit of walk.Text 2W: Hello, George. You look tired. Didn't sleep well last night?M: No, not at all. I had to work flat out to meet the project deadline. Now I'm really feeling a bit run-down.Text 3W: John, can't we go someplace and talk? It's so noisy in here.M: Well, there is a small park across the street. It's usually not crowded at this time of day.Text 4W: We've got to do something about the neighbor's dog.M: Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?W: The flower garden, the garbage can and yesterday he started digging holes in the yard.Text 5M: Hello, we have a reservation in the name of Mr. Johns. Is there any table by the window?W: Sorry, we've got this corner table for you. It's quiet here, not close to the door.Text 6W: Dave, don't forget we are invited out to dinner tonight.M: Oh yeah. I almost forgot. What time?W: 7:30. We should leave the house by 6:30. You know how bad the traffic is that time of night.M: It's informal, isn't it?W: Yeah. You can wear your new sports jacket, the one I got you as an anniversary gift.M: Okay. Well, I've got to go. I'll try to get home a little earlier today.W: Good.Text 7M: We need to decide exactly when we're going to move. Any suggestions?W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month.We could move all the office equipment at a weekend—do everything at once.M: I think a weekend's too short. Maybe we should do it department by department.W: What do you mean?M: Well, each week a different department will move. That way, there will always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on.W: Hmm, that's a good idea.Text 8W: So, Mr. Peter Sayles, I've been curious to know what were the early connections in your life that led you into the art field.M: My grandfather was an art dealer in Munich. They had a great museum in Munich. He took me to the museum. And I responded very strongly to what I saw on the walls there. I learned about art from him. I learned about looking at art from him. I think that's what really got me started. Then, many years later, after I got out of the army, I went to study art history at the University of Chicago.W: Tell us more about your experiences of looking at art with your grandfather.M: Well, we looked at the famous paintings by the great artists like Rembrandt,Botticelli and Albrecht Dürer. Rubens' paintings were my favorites. Yes, I remember these things. This was when I was between 10 and 15. When I was 14, I was so anxious to see more art that a friend of mine and I bicycled across the Alps to see Venice. That was a big adventure.Text 9W: Hi, John! Haven't seen you for ages!M: Hi, Susan! Fancy meeting you here on the train!W: How is your college life?M: What can I say? I've survived.W: What happened?M: Well, early last March I started doing a part-time job in a law firm. A few weeks before I had started writing my term paper. I thought I could finish it by August.W: That was a pretty good idea trying to have some work experience.M: For the first three weeks, you know, I tried. I got up early and worked for an hour on my paper before going to work. But work was so fun, I met tons of new people and soon I couldn't find even a minute for my paper. So, I had to quit my part-time job and finally finished my paper in October.W: Well, it's never too late to mend. It's kind of hard to find a balance between what you have to do and what you want to do.M: Yeah, it's really important for me to balance study and work. And I think I should learn to exercise some self-control.Text 10Being an athlete is very fun, painful and exciting. Every time I come to the track, I feel like I'm out of this place. This is Botswana National Stadium.This is where I train. When I saw Usa in Bolt running in 2012 London Olympics, I was amazed. Just watching him run got me motivated. I quit being a chess player and started to run. I went to the 2016 Olympics, and went to the finals at the age of 18. And, wow, I finished fifth. It was a dream come true to me, but I still wanted more. The training is super hard, but the hardest part for me is that I got an injury—an injury which may take me out for years. For a period of time, as a young athlete, I didn't know what to do. I lost focus. But now, I'm back on the track. I really want to be there at the Olympics, and do what I did before, do much, much greater. I don't care about the gold. I don't care about the silver. I want to do my best. You know, take everything and show it to the world.

英文名著分集阅读 维克多·雨果《悲惨世界》part4
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 4: MariusNine years pass, Valjean and Cosette are living in the Rue Plumet in Paris,in a house with a big garden.It is a quiet street and nobody comes there.This pleases Valjean, because he is still afraid of Inspector Javert.Cosette is now a young woman.She is tall with golden brown hair.She is beautiful, but there are many beautiful faces in the world.The wonderful thing about Cosette's face is her smile, a slow warm gentle smile like sunlight after rain.And now, we must meet Marius and his young friend Gavroche.Marius is a student, a young man with many ideas but no money.Paris is full of young men like this.Marius has a grandfather, his father is dead,But he does not talk to him, their political ideas are very different.At 17, he leaves home with 30 francs, his watch and a small bag of clothes.Now five years older, he lives with other students, and they talk all night about books and ideas, politics and government, life and death.All students are like this.They live for ideas and do a little work here and there when they need to.Gavroche is a child of the Paris streets.He is 11 or 12 years old, and wears a man's trousers and a woman's shirt.A kind woman gave these clothes to him.He lives on the streets, knows everybody,goes everywhere, and enjoys life.Well, why not? He knows no other life, only this one.Marius loved walking through the streets and gardens of Paris, and he often walked in the Luxembourg Garden.One day in the garden, he saw a man with a young girl.The man was about 60, and the girl, Marius thought, was about 17.He did not see her eyes, but he saw her golden-brown hair and her slow gentle smile.He walked past them once and did not look back, but he came to the Luxembourg the next day, and the day after that.And for the next five days, the man and the girl were always there.He could not stop looking at the girl.He wanted very much to see that smile, smile again.On the seventh day, the girl turned her head and looked at Marius.She looked into his eyes across the garden, and that look went like a bullet from a gun into Marius's heart.There were no words, but at once Marius knew, and the girl knew this was love.Life stopped for Marius then.He spent hours in the Luxembourg.And every time he saw her, the sun came out and all the birds in the garden began singing.But the man began to look at Marius too, and his face was not friendly.Marius was afraid and he went to Gavroche.“Gavroche, please, you must help me.”“Why? What's the matter? Monsieur Marius.”“There's a girl, Gavroche. She walks in the Luxembourg every day. I want you to follow her home, and tell me the address.”“Why don't you follow her? I am busy.” said Gavroche.“I'm afraid to,” said Marius, “her father,grandfather, I don't know, is watching me. He doesn't like me.”“Why is this important? Monsieur Marius.” Gavroche said.“He had a big smile on his face. Because I'min love,” shouted Marius, “Please, Gavroche, do it.”Gavroche ran away laughing.Two days later, he came to Marius's rooms,Rue plume.He said, “House at the end of the street,hard to find, you need to look for it.”Spring came and Cosette began to go out into the garden at Rue Plume.She was usually alone.Her old servant Toussaint was always in the kitchen, and Father Jean Valjean was in his room reading.Cosette was sad.She remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden, but Father no longer wanted to go there.But that evening, in the Rue Plume Garden something very wonderful happened.She heard a voice, a man's voice.She looked round and it was him.“I'm so sorry,” he said, “please don't be afraid. I just wanted to… You remember the Luxembourg Garden? I saw you therefor the first time, I can't forget you day and night, I think about you. Please don't be afraid, you see, I love you. It just happened to me, I can't stop it. Don't be afraid, please.”Cosette listened to this wonderful river of words and then held out her hand to him.He took her hand, and she pulled it to her and put it against her heart.“Then, you love me?”he said.“Of course, you know that.”A kiss, no words.They did not need words.Later words came, the story of his life, the story of her life, everything between lovers, everything is interesting.When they were done with words,Cosette put her head on Marius's shoulder and asked, “what is your name?”“My name is Marius, and yours?”“Cosette.”Every evening, they met secretly in the garden at Rue Plume.A kiss, a gentle laugh, whispered words of love.It was the spring and summer of their young lives.But around them, outside their garden, there was change.There were angry people, there were police and soldiers on the streets of Paris.And one day, Jean Valjean said to Cosette, “My dearest child, we live in dangerous times. We must leave France and go to England.”Cosette looked at him with frightened eyes.“Must we go, father?” She said.Valjean watched her face.“We must,” he said, “Get ready to leave very soon.”There was a change in Cosette.Valjean remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden and he looked at Cosette's beautiful young face.He was afraid, afraid of losing his dear daughter.That evening in the Rue Plume Garden, there were many unhappy tears.“But you must follow us to England,” cried Cosette.“How can I do that?” cried Marius, “I have no money, no passport. Even England to me is like the moon.”They held hands in the moonlight.“Listen, I have an idea,” Marius said slowly,“Wait two days, perhaps.”“Two days?” cried Cosette, “How can I live two days without you?”翻译第四章:马吕斯九年过去了,冉阿让和珂赛特住在巴黎的普吕梅街,那是一栋带大花园的房子。这是一条安静的街道,鲜有人至。这让冉阿让感到安心,因为他依然对沙威警长心存畏惧。如今的珂赛特已经长成了一个年轻女子。她身材高挑,留着一头金棕色的头发。她很美,但这世上美丽的容颜并不少见。珂赛特脸上最动人的,是她的微笑——那是一种缓慢、温暖、轻柔的微笑,宛如雨后初晴的阳光。现在,我们该认识一下马吕斯和他的年轻朋友加夫罗什了。马吕斯是个学生,一个满脑子想法却身无分文的年轻人。巴黎满大街都是这样的年轻人。马吕斯有个祖父,他的父亲已经去世了。但他和祖父互不说话,因为他们的政治理念截然不同。十七岁那年,他带着30法郎、一块怀表和一小包衣服离家出走。如今五年过去了,他和一群学生住在一起,他们整夜整夜地谈论书籍与思想、政治与政府、生与死。所有的学生都是这样。他们为理想而活,只在缺钱的时候才偶尔去打点零工。加夫罗什是个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子。他十一二岁,穿着一条男人的裤子和一件女人的衬衫。这是一位好心的女士给他的衣服。他风餐露宿,认识所有人,哪儿都敢去,而且非常享受这样的生活。是啊,为什么不呢?除了这种生活,他什么也没经历过。马吕斯喜欢漫步在巴黎的街道和花园里,他经常去卢森堡公园散步。有一天在公园里,他看见一个男人带着一个小姑娘。那个男人大概六十岁,马吕斯心想,那女孩大概十七岁。他没看清她的眼睛,但他看到了她金棕色的头发和那缓慢轻柔的微笑。他从他们身边走过,没有回头。但第二天、第三天,他又来到了卢森堡公园。在接下来的五天里,那个男人和女孩总是出现在那里。他无法控制自己的目光,总是忍不住看向那个女孩。他多么渴望能再次看到那个微笑。到了第七天,女孩转过头,看向了马吕斯。她隔着花园望向他的眼睛,那目光就像子弹一样,直击马吕斯的心脏。没有只言片语,但就在那一瞬间,马吕斯明白了,女孩也明白了——这就是爱情。那一刻,马吕斯的世界仿佛静止了。他在卢森堡公园里度过了好几个小时。每一次看到她,他都觉得阳光洒满了大地,花园里的鸟儿都在为他歌唱。但是,那个男人也开始注意到了马吕斯,而且眼神并不友善。马吕斯害怕了,他去找加夫罗什。“加夫罗什,求求你,你必须帮帮我。”“怎么了?出什么事了,马吕斯先生?”“有个女孩,加夫罗什。她每天都去卢森堡公园散步。我想让你跟着她回家,告诉我她的地址。”“你自己怎么不跟着?我很忙的。”加夫罗什说。“我不敢,”马吕斯说,“她父亲,或者祖父,我搞不清楚,一直在盯着我。他不喜欢我。”“这有什么关系吗,马吕斯先生?”加夫罗什说。“因为我恋爱了啊!”马吕斯大喊道,“求你了,加夫罗什,帮帮我吧。”加夫罗什大笑着跑开了。两天后,他来到了马吕斯在普吕梅街的住处。他说:“街道尽头的那栋房子,很难找,你得仔细留意。”春天来了,珂赛特开始走到普吕梅街的花园里。她通常是一个人。老女仆杜桑总在厨房里忙碌,而冉阿让父亲则在自己的房间里看书。珂赛特感到有些忧伤。她想念卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人,但父亲已经不想再去那里了。然而,那天傍晚,在普吕梅街的花园里,一件奇妙的事情发生了。她听到了一个声音,一个男人的声音。她回过头,正是他。“万分抱歉,”他说,“请别害怕。我只是想……你还记得卢森堡公园吗?我在那里第一次见到你,从此日夜都无法将你忘记,脑海里全是你。请别害怕,你看,我爱你。这感情就这样发生了,我无法阻挡。请别害怕。”珂赛特听着这如河水般倾泻而出的动人话语,然后向他伸出了手。他握住她的手,她却将他的手拉向自己,紧紧贴在自己的心口。“那么,你爱我?”他问。“当然,你是知道的。”一个吻,无需言语。他们不需要任何言语。后来,他们终于开口了,讲述彼此的人生故事。恋人之间的一切,都是那么有趣。当话语说尽,珂赛特把头靠在马吕斯的肩上,轻声问:“你叫什么名字?”“我叫马吕斯。你呢?”“珂赛特。”从此,每天傍晚,他们都在普吕梅街的花园里秘密相会。一个吻,一声轻柔的笑,几句耳鬓厮磨的情话。这是他们青春岁月里的春天与盛夏。但在他们周围,在花园之外,世界正在发生剧变。人们群情激愤,巴黎的街道上到处是警察和士兵。有一天,冉阿让对珂赛特说:“我最亲爱的孩子,我们正身处危险的时代。我们必须离开法国,去英国。”珂赛特用惊恐的眼神看着他。“我们必须走吗,父亲?”她说。冉阿让注视着她。“我们必须走,”他说,“准备一下,我们很快就要动身了。”珂赛特变了。冉阿让想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人,他端详着珂赛特年轻美丽的脸庞。他害怕了,他害怕失去自己心爱的女儿。那天傍晚,在普吕梅街的花园里,充满了悲伤的泪水。“但你必须跟着我们去英国啊!”珂赛特哭喊道。“我怎么去得了?”马吕斯也哭喊道,“我没有钱,也没有护照。对我来说,去英国简直就像去月球一样遥远。”他们在月光下紧紧牵着手。“听着,我有个主意,”马吕斯缓缓地说,“等两天,也许只要两天。”“两天?”珂赛特哭喊道,“没有你,我该怎么熬过这两天?”

But if my wife comes, I'll stay for two more nights.(Text 3)M: I heard you were going to attend the meeting on Wednesday, Mary. I didn't know you would go.W:Yes, Gary. I am responsible for the project now. I took Dan's place since he had to be on sick leave.(Text 4)W:Are you satisfied with the restaurant?M:Well, I have to say it's not my thing. The food was fine, but the restaurant was too crowded and the waiters kept shouting all the time. I thought they should be working in a quieter and friendlier way.(Text 5)W:Mr. Black is very good at Spanish and now he is beginning to study French. M:Yeah.And he also knows something of Chinese.(Text 6)W:Has Mr. Jones sent you the figures for next year's advertising campaign yet?M:No. I haven't received anything from him.

If I don't hear from him by four,I'll try calling his office(Text 7)W:Are you OK, John?M:Yeah, just clearing out this cupboard, Emilly. It's full of old junk W:Ooh, what a lot of stuff. Is that a... gorilla arm? M:Yes! Ah... that was a fun project.W:Interesting.M:Ooh, this is the microphone I recorded my first masterpiece with. A bit dusty.I wonder if it still works. Or maybe I should sell it. Who would buy it? W:Why don't you free cycle it?M:Oh, that's a good idea. I can exchange a microphone for a bicycle, right?W:No. You give it away. You give it to someone for free. It's another way of recycling. There are websites that help match you to people who want these things.M:Free...recycle. Freecycle. Yes,I like the idea. But I would like a free bicycle even more.(Text 8)W:So, Eric, how is life in Greenland these days?M:Oh, you know. Winters are long. I live on the coast, though, so I get to seethe ocean every day. That's always nice.W: I heard that winters in Greenland are somewhat shorter than they used to be ---global warming, I guess?M:Yes, that's true. They're calling it "the greening of Greenland". W:The"greening"? What does that mean?M:Well,the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn't use to exist in Greenland, you know! Neither did vegetables. So it's amazing! Besides, farmers can grow more grass for their animals.(Text 9)W:Hello, this is Tina. I haven't booked my flight to Washington DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport?M:Yes, well, if you're flying. Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore-Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town.W:OK, cool,I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in Washington DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don't think it would be very convenient.M:Yep. Were in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to Washington DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner. W:Do you include breakfast?M:Yes,madam,and we also offer dinner if you like.W:OK.That sounds good. Thank you. I'm going to think about it and once I've got everything booked, I'll give you a call. M:OK.Have a good day.(Text 10)I really enjoy going to the movies with my friends on most weekends. I usually check the movie listings in the newspaper or online to see what is playing. I also check the movie reviews because I don't want to see a bad movie. I like to arrive early at the movie theater so l don't have to stand in line too long to buy tickets. Sometimes, the movie we want to see is sold out, so we might buy a ticket for a later showing. At the theater, I sometimes buy popcorn and a drink. The prices are sometimes high, but I like chewing something during a movie. I usually like to sit in an aisle seat somewhere in the middle of the theater. I think you can see the movie better instead of straining your neck if you are unfortunate enough to sit in the front rows. One thing I don't like is when other people talk during the movie, put their feet up on the back of my seat, or bring crying babies to the theater. Everyone should be able to enjoy the movie.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 3: CosetteMonsieur Madeleine is of course Jean Valjean.You knew that already after Denya.He sells the bishop's silver plates, but keeps the candlesticks.He comes to Montroy,builds his factory, works hard, is kind to other people.He makes a new good life, and is true to the bishop of Denya.But after Valjean left prison in Toulon and before he came to Denya, he was hungry, and in a street in Toulon he stole some money from a boy, just one franc, to buy bread.Because he did this, the law in France says that prisoner Valjean must go back to prison and stay there for life.He can never be a free man again.And so we meet Javert.Before Montroy,he was a prison guard at Toulon.The law is his god, and he hates all criminals.He remembers Jean Valjean, that big strong man, very well.He wants to see him in prison again, and he Inspector Javert is going to put him there.Jean Valjean remembers Javert now.He remembers the cold eyes, the hard voice, the cruel prison guard's smile.He remembers and is afraid.He knows that Javert is his enemy for life, but he remembers Fantine, too.He remembers her dying words, “Please take care of Cosette, please.”How can he leave this little girl without a mother, without a friend in the world?He must find her, Javert or no Javert.Monsieur and Madame Thenardier lived in a village called Montfermeil near Paris.There was no water in the village, and the nearest water was a small river in a wood 15 minutes ' walk away.People carried the water in buckets to their houses.Cosette hated that wood.At night, the trees made noises.She was frightened of the noises, frightened of the dark, and with a heavy bucket of water it was a long walk home.One dark winter night in 1823, Madame Thenardier sent Cosette out to the river for water.Cosette ran to the river.And then, with her heavy bucket of water, she began to walk home.The trees were noisy tonight, whispering and laughing at her.And the little girl began to cry.“Oh, please God, help me, please, dear God.”And suddenly the bucket was gone.A great hand came down and took it from her.She looked up and saw big man in an old yellow coat.Sometimes we know without words when something good is happening.The little girl knew that now, and she was not frightened of the big man, not a bit.The man spoke to her child, “This is a very heavy bucket. Shall I carry it for you?”“Yes, monsieur.”“How old are you?”“I'm 8 years old, monsieur.”“Where is your mother?”“I don't know,”said the child, “I haven't got a mother.”“What's your name?”“Cosette.”The big man stopped, he put the bucket down and looked into Cosette's face.“Why are you carrying a heavy bucket of water at this time of night, who sent you?”“Madame Thenardier.”“I would like to talk to this Madame Thenardier. Shall we go and see her?”“Yes,monsieur.”Cosette was not afraid of the tree noises now.This big man with his gentle voice was a new and wonderful thing in her life.They walked to the Thenardier's house.“Please,monsieur, can I carry the bucket now?”“But why?”“I can't ask people for help. Madame says she hits me when I do that,” Cosette said, “she hits me all the time.”He gave her the bucket.The Thenardiers were very surprised to see Cosette's new friend, this big man in the old yellow coat.Inside the house, the big man looked at Cosette.He saw her thin clothes, her dirty hair, her big frightened eyes.She was small for her 8 years.Her hands were red from kitchen work, and she had no shoes.“Why does this child have no shoes on her feet on this cold winter night?” He said to Madame Thenardier.Madame Thenardier looked at Cosette angrily.“Go into the kitchen, Cosette. There is work to do, go. And are you?Monsieur.” Thenardier said.“I am here for Fantine, the child's mother,” said the big man. “You don't need to know my name. Fantine is dead, so you can get no more money from her here.”He put some money on the table is 1500 francs.“Now call the child I'm taking her away.”When Jean Valjean and Cosette left Montfermeil, Cosette did not look back.She never wanted to see Madame Thenardier again.She put her cold little hand into Valjean's great hand and looked up into his face.“Monsieur,”she said, “can I, can I call you Father?”Valjean looked down at her big round eyes.“Yes,” he said.He did not know love, he did not understand love, but in that moment, suddenly he felt a father's love for this small child.“Yes,” he said again, “yes, you can call me father, it's a good name.”Hand in hand,they walked away on the road to Paris.In Paris,Cosette learn to laugh, and to sing like a bird, and to be happy.Jean Valjean learned to be father and mother to this child, and he loved her dearly.But they lived quietly, moved house often, and only went out at night.Because Javert too was in Paris.When Valjean escaped from Montroy, Javert came to Paris to look for him. He was now an important inspector in the Paris police.Every criminal in Paris was afraid of Inspector Javert.Once Valjeansaw Javert by the river, and the next day he looked for a new place to live.He found one behind the high walls of a girl school.The school gave Valjean a job as a gardener, and he lived in a little house in the big gardens.Cosette lived in the school, but every day, she came to the gardener's little house for one hour.They talked,and they sang, and they read books.It was the happiest hour in the day for her and for Jean Valjean.And so the years passed.翻译第三章:珂赛特马德兰先生当然就是冉阿让。在迪涅镇发生的那些事之后,你其实就已经知道了。他卖掉了主教给的银餐盘,却留下了那对银烛台。他来到蒙特勒伊,建起工厂,拼命工作,对他人仁慈宽厚。他开启了一段崭新而向善的人生,也没有辜负迪涅主教的期望。但是,在冉阿让离开土伦监狱、抵达迪涅镇之前,他曾饱受饥饿之苦。在土伦的一条街上,为了买面包,他从一个男孩那里偷了钱——仅仅只有一法郎。就因为这个,法国的法律规定,囚犯冉阿让必须重返监狱,并在那里度过余生。他再也无法成为一个自由人了。于是,我们认识了沙威。在来到蒙特勒伊之前,他是土伦监狱的一名狱卒。法律就是他的神明,他痛恨一切罪犯。他非常清楚地记得冉阿让——那个高大强壮的男人。他想再次看到冉阿让身陷囹圄,而他沙威警长,就要亲手把他送进去。此时的冉阿让也想起了沙威。他记得那双冰冷的眼睛、那副生硬的嗓音,还有狱卒那残忍的微笑。他回忆起了这一切,心中充满恐惧。他知道沙威将是他一生的死敌,但他同样想起了芳汀。他记起了她临终前的话语:“求您照顾珂赛特,求求您了。”他怎么能把这个没有母亲、在世上举目无亲的小女孩孤零零地丢下呢?他必须找到她,无论有没有沙威的阻拦。德纳第夫妇住在巴黎附近一个叫蒙费梅伊的村子里。村里没有水,最近的水源在十五分钟路程外的一片树林里的一条小河。人们只能提着水桶把水扛回家。珂赛特恨透了那片树林。一到夜里,树木就会发出各种声响。她害怕那些声音,害怕黑暗,而且提着沉甸甸的水桶,回家的路显得格外漫长。1823年一个漆黑的冬夜,德纳第太太又打发珂赛特去河边打水。珂赛特一路小跑来到河边。然后,提着那桶沉重的水,她开始往回走。今晚树林里的树木喧闹不止,仿佛在对着她窃窃私语、嘲笑她。小女孩忍不住哭了起来。“哦,上帝啊,求求您帮帮我,仁慈的上帝啊。”突然,水桶从她手里消失了。一只宽大的手伸下来,替她接过了水桶。她抬起头,看到一个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人。有时候,无需言语,我们也能感觉到好事正在发生。小女孩此刻就明白了,她一点儿也不害怕这个高大的男人。男人用对孩子说话的温柔语气对她说:“这桶水太沉了。我帮你提好吗?”“好的,先生。”“你几岁了?”“我8岁了,先生。”“你妈妈在哪儿?”“我不知道,”孩子说,“我没有妈妈。”“你叫什么名字?”“珂赛特。”高大的男人停下脚步,放下水桶,端详着珂赛特的脸。“这么晚了,谁派你出来提这么重的一桶水?”“德纳第太太。”“我想和这位德纳第太太谈谈。我们一起去见见她好吗?”“好的,先生。”此时的珂赛特已经不再害怕树林里的声响了。这个说话温柔的高大男人,成了她生命中一个全新而美好的存在。他们一起走到了德纳第家。“先生,求求您,现在我可以自己提水桶了吗?”“为什么呢?”“我不能向别人求助。太太说,如果我要是求助,她就会打我。”珂赛特说,“她总是打我。”他把水桶还给了她。看到珂赛特的新朋友——这个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人,德纳第夫妇感到非常惊讶。在屋里,高大男人仔细打量着珂赛特。他看到她单薄的衣服、脏乱的头发,还有那双充满惊恐的大眼睛。八岁的她,个头比同龄人小得多。她的双手因为干厨房的粗活而通红,脚上连双鞋都没有。“这么冷的冬夜,这孩子怎么连双鞋都没穿?”他问德纳第太太。德纳第太太恶狠狠地瞪了珂赛特一眼。“进厨房去,珂赛特。还有活儿要干呢,快去。那么您呢,先生?”德纳第太太问道。“我是为了这孩子母亲芳汀的事来的,”高大男人说,“你们不必知道我的名字。芳汀已经死了,你们再也别想从她那儿要到一分钱了。”他把一些钱放在桌上——那是1500法郎。“现在把孩子叫来,我要带她走。”当冉阿让和珂赛特离开蒙费梅伊时,珂赛特没有回头。她再也不想见到德纳第太太了。她把冰冷的小手放进冉阿让宽大的手掌里,仰起头看着他的脸。“先生,”她说,“我,我可以叫您父亲吗?”冉阿让低头看着她那双圆溜溜的大眼睛。“可以。”他说。他曾经不懂得爱,也不明白什么是爱,但在那一刻,他突然对这个小小的孩子生出了一种深沉的父爱。“可以,”他又说了一遍,“是的,你可以叫我父亲,这是一个很好的称呼。”他们手牵着手,走在通往巴黎的路上。在巴黎,珂赛特学会了笑,学会了像小鸟一样唱歌,学会了感受快乐。冉阿让也学着同时扮演这个孩子的父亲和母亲,他深深地爱着她。但他们过着深居简出的生活,经常搬家,并且只在夜里出门。因为沙威也来到了巴黎。当冉阿让从蒙特勒伊逃脱后,沙威便来到巴黎搜寻他。此时的沙威已经是巴黎警察局里一位举足轻重的警长。巴黎的每一个罪犯都对沙威警长闻风丧胆。有一次,冉阿让在河边看见了沙威,第二天他便立刻寻找新的住处。他在一家女子学校高高的围墙后找到了一个安身之所。学校给冉阿让提供了一份园丁的工作,他住在大花园里的一栋小房子中。珂赛特就在那所学校里生活,但每天,她都会来到园丁的小屋里待上一个小时。他们聊天、唱歌、读书。这是她和冉阿让一天中最幸福的一个小时。就这样,岁月悄然流逝。

I don’t have Amanda’s phone number.M:What’s wrong, Miyako?W:Amanda said we should get together again and that I should call her. But I don’t have her phone number.M: I see... Well, don’t worry about it. For Americans, that’s usually a friendly way to say goodbye. It’s like when Americans say “Hello, how are you?”, but they don’t want you to tell them how you are. It’s just a friendly greeting.W: So saying “Let’s get together sometime” is similar to that?M:Yeah, that’s right.Text 7M:Maria, what do you want to see in London tomorrow?W:I’d like to go to the zoo tomorrow morning.

No more hamburgers or fried chicken.W:Yuck, I hardly eat fish. I don’t like it at all.M: I don’t, either. He wants me to eat a lot of vegetables, too, especially green ones. But that’s okay. I like them.W:Oh, vegetables. I often have carrots and tomatoes. They are my favorite.M: He also told me not to drink any coffee. That’s difficult. I love my coffee in the morning.W: I know what you mean. I do, too. But I drink too much. Six or eight cups a day.Coffee with cake or pie after a good meal is...M:Cake or pie! The doctor said no to them, too.W: I almost always have them in my house. You know, I don’t think I’d like your doctor very much.Text 9W:Marc, come on in.M:Hi, Betty. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you?W:Fine. It has been 10 years since we graduated, and you haven’t changed much.Did you have any trouble getting here?M: No trouble at all. After checking in at the hotel by the train station, I followed the directions you texted me over the mobile phone.W:I’m glad you came over to see me and Jack.M: I miss both of you very much. How is Jack? Where is he?W:He’s out shopping for our dinner tonight and will be back in a minute.M:Thank you for having me here at your home.W:What do you feel like doing while you’re here?M:Well, I’d like to look at the historic buildings.W: No problem. We can show you around the old town. You know, Benjamin Franklin and the Liberty Bell, and some very good museums.M:That’s great.W: By the way, the International House is running a really fine film program. Would you like to see it?M:Well, I’m just here for two days. I’m afraid I don’t have time for films.Text 10 W:Hi, everyone. As we’re waiting here, let me introduce Castle Howard to you.Castle Howard has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Though its name contains the word “castle”, it is not a true castle because it was never used for defense. Castle Howard is actually an English country house, it has been home to the Howard family for more than 300 years. Over the years, a number of films have been shot there. When you visit it tomorrow, you’ll see many things. Perhaps there’s too much to see, but make sure you don’t miss these two things. First, the Walled Gardens. It is a group of three gardens.You can find 2,000 different types of roses there, almost all types of roses in England. The Walled Gardens is open every day of the year except Christmas.Second, the Woodland Garden. It is known for flowering plants, fruit trees and pathways through a wooded setting. In a word, Castle Howard is really beautiful. You could spend a whole day enjoying its beauty tomorrow.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.Monsieur 先生2.Inspector 探长原文Chapter 2: FantineNow we meet Fantine.She is young and beautiful and in love with a man in Paris, but she has no family and no money.For Fantine, this is the love of her life.For the man in Paris, it is just a summer of love.Men are not kind to women, they have their fun and then they walk away.The man in Paris goes home to his rich family and leaves poor Fantine, and with a child, a little girl called Cosette.Fantine must find work, but how?Fantine has a child but no husband, and a woman without a husband is nothing, worse than nothing.People are not kind to a woman with a child but no husband.They turn their faces away, they close their doors, they say there's no work here for a woman like you.Fantine loves her daughter dearly, but what can she do?So in 1818, in a village near Paris, she leaves her little daughter with Monsieur and Madame Thenardier.They ask for 7 francs a month.Fantine pays the money, holds her daughter in her arms for the last time, and leaves.She takes the road for her home town of Montroy,and tears are running down her face.There is misery in her heart. Poor Fantine, poor Cosette.In Montroy, Fantinefinds work in a factory.This is the factory of Monsieur Madeleine, an important man in the town and very rich.Everybody likes him, because he is a good man.He is kind to his workers, he helps people,and his factory gives many jobs to the townspeople.But who is he, this Monsieur Madeleine?Where did he come from?He arrived in Montroy at the end of 1815,but nobody knows his family or anything about him.Fantine sent money every month to the Thenardiers.They were not good people, and they used the money for their own daughters.Poor little Cosette was a hungry, dirty,unloved child.She worked all day, she cleaned the house,she carried water, she washed the clothes.But Fantine knew nothing of this, and she worked long hours to make money for Cosette.The next year, the Thenardiers asked for 12 francs a month.The year after that, they wanted 15 francs.Then Fantine lost her job at the factory because the women did not like her. “She has achild in a village somewhere near Paris.”“Yes, and where's her husband.”“She doesn't have one.”“We don't want that kind of woman here. She must go.”Fantine found work making shirts.It was hard work for little money.She was often ill with a small dry cough.The Thenardiers wrote again, “Your daughter needs a warm dress for winter, send 10 francs at once.”Fantine did not have 10 francs.She thought long and hard, and went to the barber in the town.She took off her hat, and her golden hair fell down her back.“That's beautiful hair,” said the barber.“What can you give me for it?”“10 francs.”“Then cut it off.”She sent the money to the Thenardiers.“My daughter's not cold now,” she thought, “She'swearing my hair.”Soon, another letter came from the Thenardiers,“Send 100 francs, or Cosette must leave our house.”100 francs? How can a poor woman get that kind of money? There was only one way.One cold winter evening, outside a restaurant in the center of Montroy, a woman walked up and down.There was snow on the ground, but the woman wore an evening dress with flowers in her hair.Some young men came out of the restaurant,saw her, and began to call her bad names.They laughed and shouted, but the woman did not look at them.Then one young then took some snow and put it down the back of the woman's dress.The woman was Fantine.She gave a cry, turned, and hit the young man's face with her hands.People came to watch, laughing.A tall policeman arrived, took the woman by the arm and pulled her away.“Come with me,” he said.This policeman was Inspector Javert.He was new to Montroy, and he was a hard man.To him, the law was the only important thing in life.He hated criminals.The law in France at that time was not kind to women like Fantine.Javert took Fantine to the office of police.“You hit a man in the street and that's a crime,” He told her, “You're getting six months.”“Six months in prison?” Fantine cried, “no,I'm not a bad woman, monsieur, please, I must work. I need the money for my little daughter. Please, please don't send me to prison.”She fell to the floor crying.“Take her away,” Javert said to a policeman.“One moment, please,” said a new voice.Everybody turned to look at the door, and there stood the good, the great Monsieur Madeleine.He was an important man in Montroy.“Inspector,” he said, “I was outside the restaurant, too. And I can tell you the true story.”“The young man began the fight, and this poor woman,” he looked at Fantine on the floor, “must go free. She did nothing wrong.”“The woman is a criminal,” said Javert angrily.“She must go free,” said Monsieur Madeleine,“Ask the other people at the restaurant. We all saw the same thing.”Fontain stood up slowly, she began to cough,a hard dry noise.Monsieur Madeleine took her arm gently.“My dear child, you are not well,” he said.Javert's cold eyes stared at Monsieur Madeleine.“Do I know you from somewhere?” he said, “Were you ever at Toulon?”Monsieur Madeleine looked at him.His face did not change, but his eyes were suddenly very watchful.“No, I don't know Toulon.” he said.Monsieur Madeleine took Fantine to the little hospital in Montroy.She lay in bed and coughed and coughed.Monsieur Madeleine listened to her sad story, and the next day he sent money to the Thenardiers.“Now you must get better,” he told Fantine, “Cosette needs you.”But Fantine did not get better.She was now very ill, and five days later the doctor spoke to Monsieur Madeleine.“Does she have a child, this poor woman?”He said, “Yes, a small daughter.”“You must bring the child here soon.”Monsieur Madeleine went to sit by Fountain's bed.“Monsieur madeleine, you are so kind to me. I want to see my daughter one last time.Please, can you? Bring Cosette to me, please, monsieur.”Monsieur Madeleine took her hand.“Of course, I can,” he said gently.And then, the door of the room suddenly opened behind him, and Fantine cried out “No, monsieur.”Madeleine looked round quickly.InspectorJavert came into the room with four policemen.“Jean Valjean, prisoner at Toulon, I am arresting you,” Javert said, “After you left the prison, you stole money from a child in Toulon. You are still a thief, and now you must go to prison for life.”Fantine sat up in bed.“No,” she cried, “Cosette!”Monsieur Madeleine stood up slowly.“Inspector, give me three days.” He said.He was a big man, much bigger than Javert.“Three days to bring this poor woman's child to her before she dies, then you can take me.”Javert laughed loudly, “Three days, you're going to run away?”Behind the two men, Fantine cried out, “Monsieur Madeleine, please take care of Cosette. Please.”Javert turn to her, “Be quiet, woman,there's no Monsieur Madeleine here. This man is a criminal called Jean Valjean,and he's going to prison.”Fantine stared at Javert and tried to speak,but she could not.She fell back in the bed and lay still. She was dead.The people of Montroy talked about that day for a long time, the death of the woman Fantine,the arrest of Monsieur Madeleine.Javert put Monsieur Madeleine in a locked room in the police office, but in the night, he broke down the door and escaped.Where did he go? Did he go to his house in the town?His old servant said “no”, she saw nobody and heard nothing.She said she loved Monsieur Madeleine very much.So where did Monsieur Madeleine go?Nobody in Montroy saw him again.One thing was certain.In Monsieur Madeleine's house, there were two beautiful old silver candlesticks.The next day they were gone.翻译第二章:芳汀现在,我们来认识芳汀。她年轻貌美,在巴黎与一个男人坠入爱河,但她没有家人,也没有钱。对芳汀来说,这是她一生的挚爱;但对那个巴黎男人而言,这不过是一场夏日恋情罢了。男人们对待女人并不仁慈,他们寻欢作乐之后,便一走了之。那个巴黎男人回到了他富有的家族,留下了可怜的芳汀,以及他们的孩子——一个名叫珂赛特的小女孩。芳汀必须找到工作,可她能怎么办呢?芳汀有个孩子却没有丈夫,而在那个时代,没有丈夫的女人什么都不是,甚至比什么都不是还要不堪。人们对带着孩子却没有丈夫的女人毫不留情。他们对她冷眼相待,对她紧闭大门,还会说:“像你这样的女人,我们这儿没有工作。”芳汀深爱着她的女儿,可她又能做些什么呢?于是,在1818年,在巴黎附近的一个村庄里,她把小女儿托付给了德纳第夫妇。他们要求每个月付7法郎。芳汀付了钱,最后一次将女儿紧紧抱在怀里,然后转身离开。她踏上了返回故乡蒙特勒伊的路,泪水顺着脸颊不断滑落。她的心中充满了无尽的苦难。可怜的芳汀,可怜的珂赛特。在蒙特勒伊,芳汀在一家工厂找到了工作。这家工厂的老板是马德兰先生,他是镇上的大人物,非常富有。大家都很喜欢他,因为他是个大好人。他对工人们很仁慈,乐于助人,而且他的工厂为镇上的许多人提供了工作。可是,这位马德兰先生究竟是谁?他又从何而来?他是在1815年底来到蒙特勒伊的,但没有人知道他的身世,对他一无所知。芳汀每个月都会按时寄钱给德纳第夫妇。可他们并非善类,竟把芳汀寄来的钱全用在了自己亲生女儿的身上。可怜的小珂赛特成了一个挨饿、肮脏、无人疼爱的孩子。她整天干活,打扫屋子,提水,洗衣服。但芳汀对此一无所知,她只能拼命工作,为珂赛特多挣些钱。第二年,德纳第夫妇要求每月寄12法郎。再往后一年,他们又要15法郎。后来,芳汀失去了工厂的工作,因为厂里的女工们不喜欢她。“她有个孩子,寄养在巴黎附近的某个村子里。”“是啊,可她丈夫在哪儿呢?”“她没有丈夫。”“我们这儿不想要那种女人。她必须走人。”芳汀只好靠做衬衫来谋生。活儿很累,挣的钱却很少。她经常生病,总是干咳不止。德纳第夫妇又写信来:“你女儿冬天需要一件暖和的裙子,马上寄10法郎来。”芳汀拿不出10法郎。她思前想后,最终走进了镇上的理发店。她摘下帽子,一头金发垂落在背上。“多漂亮的头发啊,”理发师说。“这头发你能给我多少钱?”“10法郎。”“那就剪了吧。”她把换来的钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“我的女儿现在不会挨冻了,”她想,“她穿着我的头发呢。”没过多久,德纳第夫妇又来信了:“寄100法郎来,不然珂赛特就得滚出我们家。”100法郎?一个穷苦女人上哪儿去弄这么一大笔钱?只剩下最后一条路了。在一个寒冷的冬夜,蒙特勒伊市中心的一家餐馆外,一个女人正来回踱步。地上满是积雪,可她却穿着晚礼服,头上还戴着花。几个年轻男人从餐馆里走出来,看见她,便开始用下流的话辱骂她。他们又笑又叫,但那个女人连看都没看他们一眼。接着,其中一个年轻男人抓起一把雪,顺着那个女人的衣领塞进了她的后背。那个女人正是芳汀。她惊叫一声,转过身,一巴掌狠狠打在那个年轻男人的脸上。人们围过来看热闹,哈哈大笑。这时,一个高大的警察走了过来,一把抓住女人的胳膊,将她拉开。“跟我走。”他说。这个警察是沙威警长。他刚到蒙特勒伊不久,是个冷酷无情的人。在他看来,法律是生命中唯一重要的东西。他痛恨罪犯。而当时法国的法律,对芳汀这样的女人是毫不留情的。沙威把芳汀带到了警察局。“你在大街上打了一个男人,这是犯罪,”他告诉她,“你要被判六个月的监禁。”“六个月?”芳汀哭喊道,“不,我不是坏女人,先生,求求您,我必须工作。我需要钱养活我的小女儿。求求您,千万别把我送进监狱。”她倒在地上痛哭起来。“把她带走。”沙威对另一名警察说。“请等一下。”一个陌生的声音响起。所有人都转头看向门口,只见那位善良、伟大的马德兰先生正站在那里。他是蒙特勒伊的显要人物。“警长,”他说,“我当时也在餐馆外面。我可以告诉你事情的真相。”“是那个年轻人先挑起事端的,而这个可怜的女人,”他看了一眼倒在地上的芳汀,“必须被释放。她没有任何过错。”“这个女人是个罪犯!”沙威愤怒地说。“她必须被释放,”马德兰先生说,“去问问餐馆里的其他人吧。我们大家看到的都是一样的。”芳汀慢慢站起身,开始剧烈地咳嗽,发出沉闷干涩的声音。马德兰先生温柔地扶住她的胳膊。“我可怜的孩子,你身体不好。”他说。沙威冰冷的双眼死死盯着马德兰先生。“我是不是在哪儿见过你?”他说,“你以前去过土伦吗?”马德兰先生看着他。他的面庞毫无波澜,但眼神突然变得极度警觉。“不,我不知道什么土伦。”他说。马德兰先生把芳汀送到了蒙特勒伊的小医院。她躺在床上,不停地咳嗽。马德兰先生听完了她悲惨的身世,第二天便派人把钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“现在你必须好起来,”他告诉芳汀,“珂赛特需要你。”但芳汀并没有好转。她的病情已经非常严重了,五天后,医生对马德兰先生说:“这个可怜的女人有孩子吗?”“有,一个小女儿。”“你必须尽快把孩子接来。”马德兰先生走到芳汀的床边坐下。“马德兰先生,您对我太好了。我想再看一眼我的女儿。求求您,您能办到吗?把珂赛特带到我身边来吧,先生。”马德兰先生握住她的手。“我当然能办到。”他温和地说。就在这时,身后的房门突然被猛地推开,芳汀惊叫一声:“不,先生!”马德兰先生迅速回过头。沙威警长带着四名警察走进了房间。“冉阿让,土伦的囚犯,我现在逮捕你,”沙威说,“你出狱后,在土伦偷了一个孩子的钱。你依然是个贼,现在你必须被判终身监禁。”芳汀在床上猛地坐直身子。“不!”她哭喊道,“珂赛特!”马德兰先生缓缓站起身。“警长,给我三天时间。”他说。他是个大块头,比沙威高大得多。“给我三天时间,让我把这个可怜女人的孩子带到她面前,等她见上最后一面,你再抓我。”沙威放声大笑:“三天?你是打算趁机逃跑吗?”在两个男人身后,芳汀哭喊道:“马德兰先生,求您照顾珂赛特。求求您了。”沙威转过头对她吼道:“闭嘴,女人!这里没有什么马德兰先生。这个人是个叫冉阿让的罪犯,他马上就要进监狱了。”芳汀死死盯着沙威,试图开口说话,却发不出一点声音。她重重地倒回床上,再也没有动弹。她死了。蒙特勒伊的人们谈论那一天谈了很久很久,谈论着芳汀的死,以及马德兰先生被捕的事。沙威把马德兰先生关在警察局的一间密室里,但在夜里,他撞破房门逃跑了。他去了哪里?他回镇上的家了吗?他的老女仆说“没有”,她什么也没看见,什么也没听见。她说她非常敬爱马德兰先生。那么,马德兰先生到底去了哪里?蒙特勒伊再也没有人见过他。但有一件事是肯定的。在马德兰先生的家里,原本放着两只漂亮的老银烛台。第二天,它们就不见了。

I was stuck in the lab.M: You missed a really good game.Our school team played very well. (Text 2)W: Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow? Is it going to be windy?M: No, there will be clouds in the morning, and heavy showers in the afternoon and the evening. (Text 3)M: Hey, let’s go for a picnic somewhere this weekend.W: Good idea. Can Jack go with us? He’s tired of taking exams these past two weeks.M: I don’t think so. He’s going on a trip this weekend with his school. (Text 4)M: Hello, is this Emma? This is Robert Gellen from Johnson’s Electronics.W: Hello, Robert, what can I do for you?M: It’s this visit by Mr.Johnson. I’m afraid he’s had an emergency and won’t be able to make it this time. (Text 5)M: Did you wait long?W: No, just two minutes. How was the flight?M: It was fine, thanks. I slept through the whole flight actually and I feel much better. (Text 6)M: I’m starving. What are we having for dinner tonight, Jane?W: I’m not sure. Something will come to mind once I start.M: I feel like eating French Fries or maybe a ham sandwich. How about you?W: Actually, I was thinking of making something healthy, say ... fish and vegetables.M: Well, in that case, I’ll have whatever you make.(Text 7)W: Hello, George, I heard that you’re going to Milan for a business trip next week.M: Yes, Susan, I’m also planning a trip to Rome for sightseeing after that.W: Oh, I’m just back from Rome.The city has made some new rules.M: Really?

W: And so, I drew up a short list of 12 candidates.M: Are we going to interview all of them?W: I think we should. But certainly, I’ll let you have a look first.M: Great, so, who will we get then?W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.M: They have the right kind of qualification? W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.W: So, I’d say we do a set interview for that.M: Sure.W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.M: Great. I’m really looking forward to this.(Text 10)W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman’s letter. Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo’s message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

英文名著分集阅读 维克多·雨果《悲惨世界》part1
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.misery 苦难2.bishop 主教3.candlestick 蜡烛台原文Chapter 1: Jean ValjeanIt is the year 1796, and the people of France are hungry; not the rich people, of course, they have food, they have warm clothes, they have beautiful houses; no, it is the poor people of France.Jean Valjean is one of these poor people.He is a young man, big, strong, and a good worker, but he has no work.He cannot find work, and he is hungry.He lives with his sister in the village of Bree, her husband is dead and she has seven children.It is a cold, hard winter and there is no food in the house, no bread.Nothing and seven children.Jean Valjean is a good man; he is not a thief.But how can a man just sit there when his sister's children cry all night because they are hungry?What can a man do?He leaves his house at night and goes down the village night.He puts his hand through the window of the bakery.“Crash!”,he takes a loaf of bread and he runs.He runs fast, but other people run faster.France is not kind to poor people.France send Jean Valjean to prison for five years.After four years, he escapes.They find him and bring him back.They give him six more years.Once again, he escapes, and two days later they find him and they give him another eight years,19 years in prison for a loaf of bread.In 1815, when he leaves prison, Jean Valjean is a different man.Prison changes people.Years of misery, years of back breaking work,years of cruel prison guards, these things change a man once.There was love in Jean Valjean's heart, now there is only hate.One evening in October in the year 1815,there was a knock on the door of the Bishop of Denya's house.“Come in”, said the bishop.The bishop was a kind man.Everyone in the town of Denya knew that poor people, hungry people, miserable people, they all came to the door of the bishop's house.The bishop's sister looked at the man at the door that night, and she was afraid.“Look at him,” she whispered to the bishop, “he is a big man and a dangerous one. He carries a yellow card, so he was once a prisoner, a bad man.”But the bishop did not listen.“Come in, my friend,” he said to the man at the door, “come in, you must eat dinner with us and sleep in a warm bed tonight.”The man stared at the bishop.“My name is Jean Valjean,” he said, “I was a prisoner in Toulon for 19 years. Here is my yellow card, see, people everywhere shut their doors in my face, but not you, why not?”“Because my friend, in the eyes of God, you are my brother,”said the bishop smiling, “So come in and sit by our fire.”The bishop turned to his sister, “Now sister, our friend Jean Valjean needs a good dinner. Bring out the silver dinner plates. It's a special night tonight.”“Not the silver plates,” whispered the bishop's sister.Her eyes went quickly to Jean Valjean, then back to the bishop's face.“Yes, the silver plates,” said the bishop, “and the silver candlesticks, too. The church has these beautiful things, but they are for our visitors, and our visitor tonight must have only the best.”And so, Jean Valjean sat down with the bishop and his sister, and ate from silver plates.He ate hungrily. It was his first good meal for weeks.“You're a good man,” he said to the bishop, “perhaps the only good man in France.”But Valjean could not take his eyes away from the silver plates.After the meal, the bishop's sister put the silver plates away, and Valjean's eyes watched.He saw the place, and he remembered it in the night, in his warm bed in the bishop's house.He thought about the plates, they were big,heavy, so much silver in them.“I can sell those plates,” he thought, “for just one of them. I can eat well for months.”19 years in prison is a long time, and 19 hard years change a man.By morning, Valjean was a long way from the bishop's house.But how do you carry big silver plates? How do you hide them?People in Denya began to whisper.“Did you see him? That big man carrying six silver plates? Where did he get them from? Those plates came from the church. A man like that doesn't have silver plates, no, and he carries a yellow card, did you see? So he was a prisoner once, he's a thief, he stole those plates.”The police heard the whispers, they went after Jean Valjean, found him and took him back to the bishop's house in the afternoon.But there, they had a surprise.“My dear friend,” the bishop, said to Jean Valjean, “I am so pleased to see you. You forgot the candlesticks, I gave you the silver plates and the candlestick, you remember, but you forgot to take the candlesticks when you left.”“But this man is a thief.” said one of the policemen.“No, no, of course not,” said the bishop smiling, “I gave the silver to Monsieur Valjean.”“You mean he can go? He is free?” said the policeman.“Of course,” the bishop said.All this time Jean Valjean stared at the bishop, and said not one word.The policeman went away, and the Bishop of Denya went into his house and came out again with the two silver candlesticks.They were tall and heavy and beautiful.The bishop put the candlesticks into Jean Valjean's hands.“Jean Valjean, my brother,” he said, “you must leave your bad life behind you. This is God's silver, and I am giving it to you. With it, you can begin a new good life. I am buying your soul for God.”Jean Valjean left the town of Denya with his silver plates and his silver candlesticks.Suddenly he was a rich man, but he did not understand why.“What's happening to me,” he thought, “everything is changing. How can I hate people when this bishop is so good to me? What shall I do, how shall I live?”Prisoner Valjean did not understand anything.He sat down by the road with his head in his hands and cried.He cried for the first time in 19 years.How long did he sit there crying? What didhe do next and where did he go?Nobody knows, but when the sun came up on anew day, he was a changed man.翻译第一章:冉阿让那是1796年,法国人民正饱受饥饿之苦;当然,富人不在其列,他们有充足的食物、温暖的衣物和漂亮的房子;挨饿的,是法国的穷苦百姓。冉阿让就是这些穷人中的一员。他是个年轻人,身材高大,体格强壮,也是个勤快的好工人,但他就是找不到工作。他找不到活儿干,只能忍饥挨饿。他和姐姐住在布里村,姐夫已经去世,留下姐姐独自抚养七个孩子。那是一个寒冷而严酷的冬天,家里已经揭不开锅,连一点面包都没有了。家里空空如也,却还有七张嗷嗷待哺的嘴。冉阿让是个好人,他本不是贼。可是,当姐姐的孩子们因为饥饿整夜整夜地啼哭时,一个男人怎么能干坐着无动于衷呢?他又能做些什么呢?他在夜里离开家,摸黑走进村庄。他把手伸进面包房的窗户。“哐当!”他抓起一条面包,拔腿就跑。他跑得很快,但别人追得更快。法国对穷人并不仁慈。法国把冉阿让送进监狱,判了五年。四年后,他越狱了。他们抓回了他,又给他加了六年刑期。他再次越狱,两天后又被抓了回来,这次又加了八年。仅仅为了一条面包,他在监狱里整整熬了十九年。1815年,当他走出监狱时,冉阿让已经变成了另一个人。监狱是会改变人的。多年的苦难、多年的苦役、多年残酷狱卒的折磨,这些经历彻底改变了一人。冉阿让的心里曾经有过爱,如今却只剩下仇恨。1815年10月的一个傍晚,迪涅主教的宅邸响起了敲门声。“请进。”主教说道。主教是个仁慈的人。迪涅镇上的每个人都知道,穷人、饿着肚子的人、走投无路的人,都会来到主教家门前求助。那天晚上,主教的姐姐看着门外的男人,心里十分害怕。“你看看他,”她低声对主教说,“他是个大块头,看着很危险。他带着黄护照,说明他曾经是个囚犯,是个坏人。”但主教没有听她的。“请进吧,我的朋友,”他对门外的男人说,“请进来,你必须和我们一起吃顿晚饭,今晚还要睡在温暖的床上。”男人死死盯着主教。“我叫冉阿让,”他说,“我在土伦的监狱里蹲了十九年。这是我的黄护照,你看,走到哪里人们都对我闭门不见,但你却没有,为什么?”“因为我的朋友,在上帝眼里,你就是我的兄弟,”主教微笑着说,“所以请进来,在炉火旁坐下吧。”主教转过头对姐姐说:“姐姐,我们的朋友冉阿让需要一顿丰盛的晚餐。把那些银餐盘拿出来吧。今晚是个特别的夜晚。”“别拿银餐盘。”主教的姐姐低声说。她的目光迅速瞥向冉阿让,又马上转回主教的脸上。“就要拿银餐盘,”主教说,“还有银烛台也要拿出来。教堂拥有这些精美的器物,但它们本就是为客人们准备的,而我们今晚的客人,理应享受最好的待遇。”于是,冉阿让和主教以及他的姐姐坐在一起,用银餐盘吃着饭。他狼吞虎咽地吃着。这是他几周来吃的第一顿饱饭。“你是个好人,”他对主教说,“也许是法国唯一的好人。”但冉阿让的目光始终无法从那些银餐盘上移开。饭后,主教的姐姐把银餐盘收了起来,冉阿让的眼睛一直盯着。他看清了存放的位置,并在当晚、在主教家温暖的床上,将这一切牢牢记在心里。他想着那些盘子,它们又大又沉,里面全是实打实的银子。“我可以把那些盘子卖掉,”他想,“哪怕只卖一个,也够我舒舒服服吃上好几个月了。”十九年的牢狱之灾太漫长了,十九年的苦难足以改变一个人。到了第二天清晨,冉阿让已经离开主教的宅邸,走出了很远。可是,那么大的银餐盘怎么带走?又该怎么藏匿呢?迪涅镇上的人们开始窃窃私语。“你看见他了吗?那个大块头带着六个银餐盘?他从哪儿弄来的?那些盘子是教堂的。像他这种人不可能有银餐盘,不可能,而且他带着黄护照,你看见了吗?所以他以前是个囚犯,他是个贼,那些盘子是他偷的。”警察听到了这些议论,他们追上冉阿让,在下午将他押回了主教的家。但在那里,他们却迎来了一个意想不到的转折。“我亲爱的朋友,”主教对冉阿让说,“见到你回来我太高兴了。你把烛台落下了。我给了你银餐盘和烛台,你记得的,但你走的时候忘了把烛台带走。”“可这个人是个贼啊。”一名警察说道。“不,不,当然不是,”主教微笑着说,“那些银器是我送给冉阿让先生的。”“您的意思是,他可以走了?他自由了?”警察问。“当然。”主教说。在这整个过程中,冉阿让一直呆呆地盯着主教,一句话也没说。警察离开后,迪涅主教走进屋里,拿着那两只银烛台走了出来。它们又高又沉,十分精美。主教把烛台放进冉阿让的手里。“冉阿让,我的兄弟,”他说,“你必须把过去的罪恶生活抛在脑后。这是属于上帝的银器,现在我把它送给你。有了它,你可以开始一段崭新而向善的人生。我是在替上帝买下你的灵魂。”冉阿让带着银餐盘和银烛台离开了迪涅镇。突然间,他成了一个富人,但他自己都不明白为什么。“我到底怎么了,”他想,“一切都在改变。当这位主教对我如此仁慈时,我怎么能继续去恨别人呢?我该怎么办,我又该怎样活下去?”作为囚犯的冉阿让,对这一切感到茫然不解。他坐在路边,双手捂着脸,哭了起来。这是十九年来,他第一次流泪。他在那里坐了多久?接下来他又做了什么,去了哪里?没有人知道。但当新的一天太阳升起时,他已脱胎换骨,变成了一个全新的人。

英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯与赛马》part6
Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.tendon 肌腱原文Chapter 6: Holmes has the answersOn the train back to London, Holmes told us the story behind the mystery, and the time went very quickly."Before we went down to King's Pyland," my friend began, "I thought it was Fitzroy Simpson. But when we arrived at the stables, I suddenly remembered the hot meat curry. Why didn't I think of it before? That, you see, was the beginning.""The meat curry?" said Mr. Ross, thinking about it, "How did the meat curry help you?""Do you know the taste of opium?" Holmes said."No.""Well, it's not a very strong taste, but it's there. You can taste it in most food, but not in curry. Curry has a very strong taste,stronger than opium. So the killer says 'I need a night, when the dinner is a meat curry, then Ned Hunter can eat his dinner happily without the taste of opium and go to sleep.'But did Fitzroy Simpson know that curry was the dinner on Monday night? Of course not. How could he? He didn't make the dinner, he was a stranger at King's Pyland. He knew nobody in the trainer's house. So, we forget Simpson and think again.Who knew about the curry before dinner on that Monday night?" "John Straker and his wife," I said, "And the servant.""Right,Watson, and so on to the next question about the dog. We know there was a dog in the stables that night, because Ned Hunter took the dog out when Simpson was there. Then in the middle of the night, someone went into the stables and took out a horse. The two boys sleeping upstairs in the stables heard nothing,because there was nothing to hear. The dog did not bark, why not?""Aha!"said Mr. Ross, "It didn't bark because it knew the visitor. Dogs only bark at strangers.""Right again, so the midnight visitor was John Straker. But why did he take the horse out? What did he want? It was something dishonest? or why did he put opium in his stable boy's dinner? We all know about dishonest trainers, they can make a lot of money, they put big bets against their own horse and then stop their horse winning, but how? What was Straker's plan here? Perhaps the answer was in his pockets, I thought.And so it was. you remember the strange knife? Doctor Watson here told us about it-an eye knife, used by doctors in hospitals. With a knife like this, you can make a cut, a very, very small cut in the tendon of a horse's back leg. Nobody can seethe cut, and the horse only feels it a little. He's not lame, but he doesn't run his best, so he cannot win the race.""And Straker wanted to do this to my horse," cried Mr. Ross, "How could he? I thought he was a good man.""No,"said Holmes, "He wasn't a good man or a careful one, No horse stands quietly when a knife goes into its back leg, Straker didn't want anyone to heart he noise, so he took the horse out onto the moor."The candle and the match!" I said, "Of course.""That's right," Holmes said, "And I learnt more from Straker's pockets, too. You are a man of the world, Mr. Ross, do men carry other men's bills around in their pockets? No, they do not. So, who was Mr. Derbyshire?Another name for John Straight, and there was a lady in the case, too. A very expensive lady. I talk to Mrs. Straker about the dress and the hat on the bill,but she knew nothing about them.""Andon Monday night, out on the moor," said Mr. Ross, "What happened, do you think?""How about this?" said Holmes, "Straker takes the horse down the hill. He sees Simpson's scarf on the ground and takes it with him. Why? I don't know, he puts his coat on a tree, gets out the candle and the matches and the knife, and begins his work, but Silver Blaze doesn't like it. Perhaps he's afraid, perhaps he feels something is wrong. He's a big strong horse, and he gets angry. He kicks out with his back legs, and the horse shoes hit Straker on the head. Straker goes down into the mud and the knife in his hand goes into his own leg. The horse disappears into the night.""Wonderful!"Mr. Ross said, "You tell it very well, Mr. Holmes, I see it all now.""And the sheep," I asked, "What about the sheep? You told Inspector Gregory that they were important.""Yes,Watson, the sheep," Holmes smiled "And they were important. It's not easy to make a very small cut in an animal's tendon, and Straker did not want to get it wrong. He needed to practice first, but what onthere were his own sheep right in front of him."And where did you go in London, the day after we got back?" I asked, "Was it to that dressmaker on the bill for Mr. Derbyshire?""Very good, Watson," Holmes laughed, "Yes, I had a photograph of Straker,and the dressmaker knew him at once. 'Oh, yes,' she said, 'That's Mr. Derbyshire do a lot of work for him. Mrs. Derbyshire is a very beautiful lady, and she likes expensive dresses. '" Holmes laughed again, "It's an old, old story, Straker is not the first man with two women in his life. He needed more money for the expensive Mrs. Derbyshire,so he thought of this plan with Silver Blaze, and there you have it, Mr. Ross.""Yes,I understand it all now," said Mr. Ross, "And thank you very much, Mr.Holmes. There's just one thing-where was the horse?""Yes,the horse was safe and well and with a friend," said Sherlock Holmes, "I can't tell you who or where, because I made a promise. But here we are, nearly in London, you have the answer to the mystery, Mr. Ross. You are the winner of the Wessex Cup and the owner of the fastest racehorse in the South of England.What more do you need?"翻译第六章:福尔摩斯的答案在回伦敦的火车上,福尔摩斯给我们讲了这个谜后面的事情真相,不知不觉时间过得飞快。"我们去金斯皮兰之前,"我的朋友开口说道,"我以为是菲茨罗伊·辛普森干的。但当我们走到马厩那儿的时候,我突然想起那些热的咖哩烧肉。在这之前我怎么没想到这个呢?瞧,这就是事件的开端......""咖哩烧肉......"罗斯先生说着,回想了一下。"呃,咖哩烧肉对你有什么启发?""你知道麻鸦片的味道吗?"福尔摩斯说,"不知道?呃,那种味道不怎么浓烈,但能感觉到。大多数食物里放了麻醉剂都能尝出来,但在咖哩里尝不出来。咖哩味道很浓,比麻醉剂味道还重。所以凶手说:'我需要找个吃咖哩烧肉的晚上,这样内德·亨特就会愉快地享受晚餐,不会尝出鸦片的味道--然后就睡着了。'但菲茨罗伊·辛普森知道星期一晚上的晚餐是咖哩吗?当然不知道。他怎么能知道呢?晚餐又不是他做的。他不是金斯皮兰人,也不认识驯马师家里的任何人。所以,我们排除了辛普森,开始重新思考。星期一晚上,谁在晚饭前就知道有咖哩呢?""约翰·斯特雷克和他妻子,"我说,"还有那个佣人。""没错,华生。然后是下一个问题,关于狗的。我们知道那天晚上马厩里有一条狗,因为辛普森在的时候内德·亨特把狗牵出来了。然后深夜里有人进了马厩,牵走了一匹马。睡在马厩楼上的两个小马倌没听到动静,因为根本就没什么动静。狗没有叫。为什么没叫呢?""啊哈!"罗斯先生说,"狗没叫是因为它认识来的人。狗只对着生人叫。""又说对了。也就是说,深夜来的人就是约翰·斯特雷克。但他为什么要把马带出去呢?他想干什么?肯定是什么不光彩的事,不然他为什么要在自己的马倌的饭里下鸦片?我们都知道有些不老实的驯马师,他们能赚很多钱--他们下重注赌自己的马输,然后阻止自己的马赢得比赛。但怎么做呢?斯特雷克的计划是什么?我想,答案没准就在他的口袋里。"确实如此。你还记得那把奇怪的小刀吗?这位华生医生告诉了我们那是什么--一把眼科手术刀,是医院里的医生用的。你可以用这样一把刀制造一个伤口--一个非常非常小的伤口--在马的后腿肌腱上。没人会看见这个伤口,马也只有一点点感觉。马不会瘸,但不能发挥最好的水平,这样就无法赢得比赛。""斯特雷克想用这种手段对付我的马?"罗斯先生叫道,"他怎么能这样?我原以为他是个好人!""不,"福尔摩斯说,"他不是好人--也不是个小心的人。当一把刀刺进后腿的时候,没有哪匹马会安安静静地站着。斯特雷克不想让人听见动静,于是他就把马牵到了高沼地里。""蜡烛,还有火柴,"我说,"当然是这样!""不错,"福尔摩斯说,"我从斯特雷克的口袋里还知道了更多情况。罗斯先生,你是个通晓世故的人。人们会把其他人的账单放在口袋里随身带着吗?不,他们不会。那么达比希雷先生是谁呢?那是约翰·斯特雷克的另一个名字。这个案子里还有一位女士。一位阔绰的女士。我向斯特雷克夫人试探了账单上列出的衣服和帽子,但她对这些东西一无所知。""那星期一晚上,在高沼地里,"罗斯先生说,"你认为发生了什么事?""这个怎么样?"福尔摩斯说,"斯特雷克把马带到山脚下。他看见辛普森的围巾在地上,就捡了起来--为什么,我也不知道。他把外套挂在一棵树上,取出蜡烛和火柴,还有那把刀,开始于他的活计。但'银光'不喜欢这样。或许它受了惊,或许它觉得有什么不对劲。它是匹高大强壮的马,而且不耐烦了。它扬起后腿踢了出去,马蹄正中斯特雷克的脑袋。斯特雷克倒了下去,跌在泥地里,他手里的刀划到了自己的腿。那匹马消失在夜色中。""太精彩了!"罗斯先生说,"你讲得太生动了,福尔摩斯先生,我现在全明白了。""还有那些羊呢?"我问道,"那些羊是怎么回事?你对格雷戈里巡官说它们很重要。""啊,对了,华生,那些羊。"福尔摩斯笑了起来。"它们的确很重要。在动物的肌腱上划一个小伤口不是那么容易,斯特雷克不想失手。他得先练习,但在哪儿练呢?他自己的羊,就在他面前。""我们回伦敦后第二天你去哪儿了?"我问道,"是去达比希雷先生账单上那个裁缝那儿吗?""太棒了,华生!"福尔摩斯大笑。"对,我拿了张斯特雷克的照片,那个裁缝一眼就认出他了。'哦,是的,'她说,'这是达比希雷先生。我替他做了很多衣服。达比希雷夫人是一位很美的女士,她喜欢昂贵的衣服。'"福尔摩斯又笑起来。"这是个老掉牙的故事。斯特雷克不是第一个享受齐人之福的男人。他需要更多的钱来满足那位奢侈的达比希雷夫人,于是他打起了'银光'的主意。现在你知道是怎么回事了,罗斯先生。""对,我现在全明白了,"罗斯先生说,"福尔摩斯先生,太谢谢你了。不过还有件事。马当时在哪里?""啊,对。那匹马当时很安全,状况良好,跟一位朋友在一起。"福尔摩斯说,"我不能告诉你它跟谁在一起,或者在什么地方,因为我作出了承诺。不过,我们现在已经快到伦敦了。罗斯先生,你已经知道了谜底,又赢得了韦塞克斯杯,还是英格兰南部速度最快的赛马的主人。你还有什么不满足的呢?"

There's some meat on top of it.(Text3)M: I'm cooking beef with potatoes. Do you want some?W: No, thanks. I'm on a diet. I only eat vegetables and fruits.M: OK, there are some grapes in the fridge. Help yourself.W: Thanks.(Text4)M: Lisa, do you think we should get a new sofa?W: Oh, our sofa is a bit old but perfectly usable. Right now, we need a cupboard in the kitchen much more.(Text5)W: Hey, Thomas. How was the movie last night?M: It was OK, not exactly a top quality one but still a welcome surprise. I would give it three stars out of four.(Text6)M: We'd like a table for four, please.W: Have you made a booking?M: No, we haven't.W: I'm afraid there will be about a ten-to-fifteen-minute wait.M: That's OK. Oh, by the way,we'd prefer a table by the window. W: In that case, you will probably have to wait longer.M: It doesn't matter.W: OK, I'll call you when the table is ready. Your name, please?M: It's Montague.M-O-N-T-A-G-U-E. Could we look at the menu while we are waiting?W: Certainly. Here you are.(Text7)W: Good evening.

Depending on your budget, you might want to give your front door a fresh coat of paint.M: Mm, I'll consider that.Another thing is I have a big table in my dining room that no one ever sits at.W: Yeah. Some people never use their dining tables. So why hold onto them? Replace the big table with a smaller round table.M: That's a good idea. The whole family will still be able to sit there and it won't feel quite as polished.W: Yes, and all these creative ways can be finished on your own to suit your design style and personal taste.(Text10) Many students ask me about how to understand, and enjoy the experience of concert going. So today, I'd like to take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what is performed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance, these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall. You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups. Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or night of a concert, you have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internal. If possible, prepare fora concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.

英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯与赛马》part5
Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle原文Chapter 5: A day at the racesOn Tuesday, Holmes and I took the train to Winchester, and Mr.Ross met us at the station.He drove us to the races, but he was not a happy man."Well,Mr. Holmes," he said coldly, "Do you have news of my horse?"Holmes smiled, "He's safe and well, I'm sure. How is the betting for the Wessex Cup?""Very strange," said Mr. Ross, "Yesterday Silver Blaze was 15 to 1, but today he's the favorite, at 3 to 1. Why, I don't know.""Ah!"said Holmes, "Somebody knows something."We arrived only minutes before the beginning of the Wessex Cup race.This was Holmes's plan, I think, Mr. Ross had no time to ask questions.There were six horses running in the race, and Silver Blaze's name was there, at number four.The horses began to come out for the race and Mr. Ross got very excited."Where is he? I can't see him." he cried."There are two more horses to come out," I said, "And look, there's number four now in racing colors of red and blue. Those are your colors, Mr. Ross."And there was Silver Blaze, a big brown horse with a white nose.He came past us, looking strong and well and ready for anything."Holmes!"cried Mr. Ross, "I was wrong about you. I'm sorry, but why? how?""Shh!" said Holmes, "Watch. Yes, they're off!"It was a good race, fast and exciting.After the first minute, a horse with yellow racing colors came to the front and stayed there."That's Desborough from the Capleton stables," said Holmes, "A good horse, but Silver Blaze is better. "But Silver Blaze was three horses behind Desborough."Come on, come on," cried Mr. Ross, "Move up now."We all watched the red and blue colors."Yes," I said, "Look, he's moving up now! watch him go!"Slowly but surely, Silver Blaze moved up into fourth place, then into third place,then into second place, now only Desborough was in front of him."That's my boy," said Mr. Ross, "Go on, go on.""Desborough is getting tired," Holmes said, "Watch!"80 meters, 50 meters…"He's away," cried Mr. Ross, "His nose is in front. Yes, yes,he's going to do it."And he did. Silver Blaze kept his nose in front, finished first and one the Wessex Cup."Wonderful,"said Mr. Ross, "Wonderful, what a race, what a horse, Mr. Holmes, how can I thank you?""You must thank the horse, not me," said Holmes, smiling, "Let's go down and have a look at him."Silver Blaze was still excited by his big race.Mr.Ross looked him up and down, "he looks well, very well. I don't understand any of it, Mr. Holmes, how did you do it? where did you find him? And perhaps you now have John Straker's killer too, do you?""Yes,"said Holmes quietly, "Yes, I have him, too."Mr.Ross and I stared at him."You have him?" Mr. Ross said, "Where is he?""He is here.""Here!Where?""Herewith me now, at this moment."Mr.Ross's face began to go red."What are you saying, Mr. Holmes?" he said angrily, "Are you saying…"Sherlock Holmes laughed, "No, no, Mr. Ross, not you. The killer, he standing behind us."He turned and put his hand on Silver Blaze's back."The horse?" cried Mr. Ross"The horse!" I said."Yes,the horse." said Holmes, "But don't be angry with him. You can hear all about the mystery, but later please. I have a little bet on a horse in the next race, and I would like to see it win."翻译第五章:比赛日到了星期二,福尔摩斯和我乘火车去了温切斯特,罗斯先生在车站接我们。他赶车送我们去赛场,但他的情绪不高。"呃,福尔摩斯先生,"他冷冷地说,"你有我的马的消息吗?"福尔摩斯笑了。"我确信它很安全,而且状况良好。现在韦塞克斯杯的赌注怎样?""很奇怪,"罗斯先生说,"昨天'银光'还是15比1,今天又成了大热门,变成了3比1。唉,我真不明白。""啊!"福尔摩斯说,"一定是有人知道了什么消息。"我们刚好在韦塞克斯杯开赛前几分钟赶到。我猜这是福尔摩斯的计划。这样罗斯先生就没时间问什么问题。一共有六匹马参加比赛,"银光"的名字也在,是4号。赛马开始出场准备比赛了,罗斯先生激动起来。"它在哪儿?我没看见它!"他叫道。"还有两匹马没出来,"我说,"看!现在出来的是4号,比赛服装是红色和蓝色。罗斯先生,那是你的颜色。""银光"就在那儿,那是一匹棕色的高头大马,鼻子是白色的。它经过我们面前,看上去身强体壮,气色很好,好像什么都难不倒它。"福尔摩斯,"罗斯先生叫道,"我错怪你了!对不起,但是,你怎么--""嘘!"福尔摩斯说,"看!好的,他们出发了!"这场比赛很精彩,紧张激烈,扣人心弦。比赛开始后一分钟,一匹身披黄色比赛服的马冲到了最前面,并一直保持领先。"那是德斯伯勒,卡普莱顿马厩的马。"福尔摩斯说,"这匹马很不错,不过'银光'更棒。"但"银光"还在德斯伯勒身后的三匹马后面。"快,快!"罗斯先生大叫,"快赶上去!"我们都注视着那片红蓝相间的颜色。"好!"我说,"看,它赶上来了!看它赶上来了!""银光"稳稳地赶到了第四名的位置,然后是第三名,然后是第二。现在,只有德斯伯勒在它前面了。"真是好样儿的!"罗斯先生说,"加油,加油!""德斯伯勒没力气了,"福尔摩斯说,"看!"80米,50米....."他超过去了!"罗斯先生大喊,"它的鼻子在前面了,是的,是的,它就要赢了!"它的确成功了。"银光"保持鼻子在先超出德斯伯勒,首先到达终点,赢得了韦塞克斯杯。"太好了!"罗斯先生说,"太好了!这场比赛太精彩了!这匹马太棒了!福尔摩斯先生,我该怎么谢你才好呢?""你得谢谢那匹马,不用谢我。"福尔摩斯微笑着说,"我们下去看看它吧。""银光"还在为这场刚刚结束的大赛激动不已。罗斯先生上下打量着它。"它看上去很好,好极了。我一点儿也不明白,福尔摩斯先生。你是怎么做到的?你在哪儿找到它的?你现在多半也已经抓到了杀害约翰·斯特雷克的凶手。对吗?""对。"福尔摩斯平静地说,"对,我也抓到他了。"罗斯先生和我都盯着他。"你抓到他了?"罗斯先生说,"他在哪儿?""他在这儿。""这儿!哪儿?""现在就在这儿,跟我在一起。"罗斯先生的脸涨红了。"你在说些什么,福尔摩斯先生?"他愤怒地说,"你是指..."歇洛克·福尔摩斯大笑起来。"不,不,罗斯先生,不是你。凶手站在我们身后。"他转过身,把手放在"银光"的背上。"这匹马?"罗斯先生叫道。"这匹马!"我说。"对,就是这匹马,"福尔摩斯说。"但别怪它。你会听到所有的秘密,但得晚些。下一场比赛我在一匹马身上下了注,我想看着它赢......"

I took a bus to city hall, but I can’t find the place.W:This is the concert hall, not city hall. To go there, you should take the busat Grand Hotel over there.(Text2)M:Can I help you?W: I’m looking for a size twelve dress.M:Oh, let me see. An eight, a ten. Ah, you’re lucky. I have the prettiest dress here in a twelve. Why don’t you try it on?(Text3)W: Do you think you can take care of everything in the office today?M: No problem. Just go home and take a rest. If there is anything I feel I cannot handle, I’ll call you.(Text4)W: We have a half-day tour, a full-day tour and an evening tour. Which one would you like?M: What is the schedule of the half-day tour?W: It sets out at 8:30 a.m. and returns at 2:00 p.m.(Text5)M: Now,what seems to be the trouble, Mrs. Stevens?W: I’ve been very dizzy lately. And last night, I had some chest pain.M: Don’t worry. Let me have a look.(Text6)W: Wow.That was a great match. I really like watching tennis games.M: Me too. I think tennis is an exciting sport.W: I think so. Do you play tennis, John?M:Yes, but not very well. Do you play?W: A little. How about a game on Tuesday afternoon?M:Sure.(Text7)M: Mrs.White, I’m afraid we have to put you on a strict diet.

Thanks, Daniel.(Text9)W:Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.M: To begin with, I’d like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.W:Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I’d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. (Text10)Talking about personal relationships, well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I’m confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I’ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.lame 跛脚的原文Chapter 4: Looking for a horseHolmes and I walked slowly across the moor.In the evening sunlight, the autumn colors on the hills were beautiful reds and browns and yellows, but Holmes saw nothing of that."So,Watson," he said, "Let's forget John Straker for a minute, and think about the horse. Horses are friendly animals. Let's say that Silver Blaze runs away after the killing. Here he is out on the cold, wet moor. What does he do next?""He looks for a nice warm stable," I said, "With food and water.""Right,Watson. He didn't go back to King's Pyland, we know that, but there is another stable not far away at Capleton, perhaps he went there. And the way to cable to Capleton. Watson, is down, this hill, let's go."We walked quickly down the hill.And at the bottom, we found a small river and some very wet ground."Wonderful,"said Holmes, "I wanted mud and here it is. You follow the left side of the river, Watson. We're looking for the tracks of horseshoes."We found them after only 50 meters.Holmes took the horseshoe out of his pocket and put it next to the tracks."Yes, that silver blaze, no question about it."We followed the tracks easily, then lost them for a time, but found them again about 200 meters from the Capleton stables."Here they are," I cried, "And look, there's another track here of a man's shoe."Holmes got down to look."You're right, Watson, and the man is walking next to the horse."We followed the two tracks to Capleton stables, and were still 20 meters away when a man came out and called to us.He had a red, angry face go away, "We don't want visitors here. Go away.""Mr.Silas Brown?" Holmes said to him."What do you want?" said the man, "I don't talk to newspaper people, so just go away.""We are not from a newspaper," said Holmes, smiling, "But you have a horse called Silver Blaze in your stable.""That'snot true." Mr. Brown said angrily."Shall we go in and talk about it?" said Holmes.He did not wait for an answer, but took the man's arm and moved quickly to the gate.He looked back at me and said quietly, "Wait for me here, Watson."Twenty minutes later, they came out again.Holmes looked pleased, and Mr. Silas Brown was a different man.He looked smaller and older, and his face was afraid."Remember," said Holmes, "You must be there on the day, on time, and everything must be ready.""Yes,yes," Silas Brown said quickly, "You can be sure of it. Oh, yes, you can be sure of it." "Good,"said Holmes, "Well, goodbye for now."Holmes and I then began to walk back to King's Pyland along the road."Does he have the horse then?" I asked.Holmes laughed."Yes,"he said, "No at first, of course, but he's afraid of the police. He doesn't want them to know about this, and I can help him with that.""But why didn't the police find the horse?" I asked, "Inspector Gregory said they went to Capleton.""Oh, it's easy to change the color of a horse's coat."Holmes laughed again, "Gregory is a good policeman, but I don't think he knows much about horses.""And why did Brown tell you?" I said."When I walked through the stables with him," said Holmes, "The ground was muddy and I saw the tracks of his shoes in the mud. You remember those tracks on the moor? Well, these were the same shoes. After that, it was easy, and he told me everything. He found Silver Blaze on the moor early in the morning, and brought him into the stables. The horse is very well, just a different color at the moment. Brown put a very big bet on Desborough to win the Wessex Cup, you see, and with Silver Blaze out of the race.""But why did you leave the horse there? Is it safe with him?"I did not understand Holmes's plan."My dear Watson," Holmes said, "The horse is very safe. Silas Brown is afraid of me, afraid of the police, afraid of losing everything. Silver Blaze must be ready to race next week, or Brown's life as a racehorse trainer is finished, and Brown knows that.""Mr.Ross isn't going to like it," I said."Mr.Ross," said Holmes, "Doesn't understand detective work, he wants answers today, now, at once. So, he must learn a lesson, he must learn to wait.Say nothing about Silver Blaze for the moment, Watson."Back at King's Pyland, we found Mr. Ross and Inspector Gregory in the trainer's house."An interesting visit," said Holmes, "But my friend and I must go back to London by the midnight train."The Inspector and Mr. Ross stared at him, and I saw that Holmes was right about Mr. Ross."So our famous London detective can't find poor Straker's killer," Mr. Ross said. "Or my horse.""It's a difficult case, that's true," said Holmes quietly, "But your horse is going to run in the Wessex Cup next Tuesday. You have my promise on that.""A promise is a wonderful thing," said Mr. Ross, "but I would like the horse better than a promise."Holmes smiled, then turned to Inspector Gregory."Inspector,can you give me a photograph of Straker?""Yes,of course." said the Inspector.He took one from an envelope in his pocket and gave it to Holmes.It was now time to go back to Tavistock, and we went outside.One of the stable boys was there, and Holmes suddenly spoke to him."I see you have some sheep here, next to the stables," he said, "Are they all well?""They're all right, sir," said the boy, "But two or three of them are a little lame. They went lame last week."Holmes was very pleased about this.He got into the carriage and said to the Inspector, "Remember the lame sheep,Gregory, remember the lame sheep!"Mr.Ross was not interested in the sheep, but the Inspector stared at Holmes."You think the sheep are important?""Oh,yes," said Holmes, "Very important."The inspector still stared at him, very interested now."And what other things are important, Mr. Holmes?""The strange incident of the dog in the night-time.""The dog did nothing in the night time.""That was the strange incident."翻译第四章:寻找赛马福尔摩斯和我慢慢穿过高沼地。夕阳下,山上的秋色非常美--红色、棕色、黄色交相辉映。但福尔摩斯对此视而不见。"那么,华生,"他说,"让我们暂时忘记斯特雷克,想想那匹马吧。马是温顺的动物。我们假设'银光'在斯特雷克被杀之后跑了。它跑到这又湿又冷的高沼地上,然后会怎么办呢?""它会寻找一处温暖的马厩,"我说,"一个有食有水的地方。""对,华生。它没回到金斯皮兰,我们知道这一点,但离这儿不远的地方还有一个马厩,在卡普莱顿。没准它去那儿了。华生,去卡普莱顿的路就是从这儿下山。我们走!"我们很快下了山,在山脚下,我们发现一条小河,还有一片很湿的地面。"太好了,"福尔摩斯说,"我正想有块泥地,它就出现了。华生,你沿着河的左岸走。我们找找马蹄铁的痕迹。"就在50米远的地方,我们发现了马蹄铁的印子。福尔摩斯从口袋里拿出那块马蹄铁,放在那个蹄印的旁边。"没错,这就是'银光',毫无疑问。"我们轻松地追踪着蹄印,有一会儿又失去了它的踪迹,但在离卡普莱顿马厩大约200米的地方,又发现了蹄印。"在这儿,"我叫道,"看,这儿还有个印记,是一个人的鞋印。"福尔摩斯蹲下查看。"你说得对,华生。而且这个人是走在马旁边的。"我们随着二者的脚印一直到了卡普莱顿的马厩。当我们离马厩还有20米远时,一个人出来朝我们大吼。他满脸通红,怒火万丈。"走开!我们这儿不欢迎游客!走开!""赛拉斯·布朗先生?"福尔摩斯对他说道。"你们想干什么?"那个人问,"我不接受记者采访,赶快走开。""我们不是报社的记者,"福尔摩斯微笑着说,"但你的马厩里有一匹名叫'银光'的马。""那不可能!"布朗先生愤怒地说。"我们能进去谈谈吗?"福尔摩斯说。他没有等着那人回答,而是抓住他的胳膊,快步走向大门。他回头看看我,从容地说:"华生,在这儿等我。"20分钟后,他们又出来了。福尔摩斯看上去很满意,赛拉斯·布朗先生完全变了个人。他看上去矮了些,也老了些,脸上满是惊恐。"记住,"福尔摩斯说道,"到那天你一定得准时到,准备好一切。""好的,好的,"赛拉斯·布朗连忙说,"你放心吧。好的,你放心。""那好,"福尔摩斯说,"那先再见吧。"福尔摩斯与我开始沿着大路走回金斯皮兰。"那他藏着那匹马吗?"我问道。福尔摩斯大笑起来。"没错。他一开始当然说没有。但他害怕警察。他不想让他们知道这件事,而我能帮他应付。""但警方为什么没发现那匹马呢?"我问道,"格雷戈里巡官说他们去过卡普莱顿。""哦,要改变一匹马的毛色很容易,"福尔摩斯再次大笑起来。"格雷戈里是个好警察,但我认为他对马了解不深。""那布朗为什么要告诉你呢?"我说。"当我跟他一起穿过马厩的时候,"福尔摩斯说,"地上有很多泥,我看见了他留在泥地上的鞋印。你还记得高沼地里的脚印吗?两种鞋印是一样的。然后就简单了,他把一切都告诉了我。那天清早,他在高沼地里发现了'银光',就把它带回了自己的马厩。那匹马很好,只不过现在是另一个颜色。你知道,布朗下了重注,赌德斯伯勒能赢得韦塞克斯杯。如果'银光'不参加比赛的话......""但你为什么要把马留在那儿呢?它在他那儿安全吗?"我不明白福尔摩斯的想法。"亲爱的华生,"福尔摩斯说,"那匹马很安全。赛拉斯·布朗害怕我,害怕警察,害怕失去一切。'银光'一定要参加下周的比赛,否则布朗作为赛马训练师的生涯就完蛋了--布朗明白这一点。""罗斯先生不会喜欢这样的。"我说。"罗斯先生,"福尔摩斯说,"不了解侦探工作。他想今天、现在、立刻就得到答案。因此,他必须得到点儿教训。他得学会等。暂时不要透露关于'银光'的事情,华生。"我们回到金斯皮兰,发现罗斯先生和格雷戈里巡官都在驯马师家里。"这是一次很有意思的拜访,"福尔摩斯说,"但我的朋友和我必须乘午夜的火车返回伦敦。"巡官和罗斯先生瞪着他,我发现福尔摩斯对罗斯先生的判断是对的。罗斯先生说道:"这么说我们著名的伦敦大侦探找不到杀死可怜的斯特雷克的凶手,也找不到我的马。""不错,这个案子很复杂。"福尔摩斯平静地说,"但你的马会参加下星期二的韦塞克斯杯。这一点我敢保证。""哼!保证真是妙不可言,"罗斯先生说,"但我更想要回我的马,不想要什么保证。"福尔摩斯笑了,然后转向格雷戈里巡官。"巡官,能不能给我一张斯特雷克的照片?""当然可以。"巡官说。他从口袋里的一个信封内掏出一张照片,递给福尔摩斯。该回塔维斯托克了,我们走到屋外。有一个小马倌在外面,福尔摩斯突然跟他说起话来。"我看见你们在这儿养了几只羊,在马厩旁边,"他说,"它们还好吗?""它们很好,先生,"小马倌说,"但其中两三只有点儿跛。它们上星期开始跛的。"福尔摩斯对此非常高兴。他上了马车,对巡官说道:"记住那些跛脚的羊,格雷戈里,记住那些跛脚的羊!"罗斯先生对羊一点儿兴趣都没有,但巡官盯着福尔摩斯。"你觉得那些羊很重要?""对。"福尔摩斯说,"非常重要。"巡官还瞪着他,马上就来了兴致。"那你觉得还有什么东西很重要,福尔摩斯先生?""狗在那天晚上的奇怪举动。""那天晚上狗什么举动都没有。""这就是奇怪的地方。"

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.

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?

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.

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!

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?

英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯与赛马》part1
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。

So if I wanted to paint for a book, I'd need to write one on my own.W: So you did!M:Umm, the woman pointed to a painting I'd done, of a little girl with a big red dog. And she said “Maybe that's a story.” And I went home. And over that weekend, I wrote the story Clifford the Big Red Dog, and was shocked when it was accepted for publication because I'd never written anything before.W: I see. How wonderful!M:Yes, it was. My wife was also in shock when she did realize it wasn't a dream.But it was just luck. W:But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books that have sold 126 million copies in 13 languages.Text 10M:Hello, everyone. 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.

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。
