淡定的人生不寂寞

前言

前言從事翻譯研究二十多年，最大的收獲就是認(rèn)識了很多對英文學(xué)習(xí)、外國文化感興趣的年輕朋友，他們身上那種鮮活的熱情，使我很受觸動(dòng)和啟發(fā)。在我和錢厚生教授主編的《實(shí)用漢英翻譯詞典》獲得國家辭書獎(jiǎng)以后，就不斷有年輕的朋友向我提同一個(gè)問題：怎樣才能學(xué)好英文？怎樣才能學(xué)好英文？這確實(shí)是一個(gè)困擾了我們很久的不是問題的“問題”。對于這個(gè)問題，我的答案是“兩讀一聽”——閱讀、朗讀與聽力。年輕的朋友首先要明確一個(gè)概念：英文，不僅是一種語言，也是一種文化，它絕不是枯燥的語法和單詞背誦可以代替的，這些是基礎(chǔ)，絕不是全部。閱讀優(yōu)美而正確的英語文章，可以提高閱讀能力，擴(kuò)大詞匯量，開闊視野，了解更多西方世界的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。在閱讀的過程中，可以對照在課堂上學(xué)到的語法知識，從感性上進(jìn)一步掌握英文語法的應(yīng)用；也可以通過對那些經(jīng)典、優(yōu)美的文章段落的反復(fù)品味，進(jìn)一步提高英文寫作水平。朗讀的好處更加顯而易見。口語能力一向是國內(nèi)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英文的弱項(xiàng)之一，發(fā)音不準(zhǔn)、不敢開口、磕磕絆絆都是常見的現(xiàn)象。怎樣解決這些問題？我建議年輕朋友在閱讀美文的時(shí)候更多地開口朗讀出來，英語對話環(huán)境不好找，但是朗讀卻是人人都可以做到的。經(jīng)常朗讀可以提高聽力，培養(yǎng)英語語感——其實(shí)很多人的單詞發(fā)音都是正確的，但是一旦開口卻說不流暢，這就是語感在作祟了。曾發(fā)掘了特洛伊遺跡的德國語言天才希泊來，每學(xué)會(huì)一種外語只用三到六個(gè)月，秘訣何在？就是大聲朗讀。多聽標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語音是非常重要的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，這樣能夠把自己置身于外語環(huán)境中，迫使自己接受，逐漸形成習(xí)慣。由聽覺接收到大腦思考，再到發(fā)聲表達(dá)，讀和聽可以幫助學(xué)習(xí)者建立這一流暢的反射體系，直到達(dá)成如同使用母語般的身體本能。大量課外閱讀、朗讀和聽力，可以升華我們的人格情操，促進(jìn)心靈自省，增長語言文化知識，提高語言文化的綜合素質(zhì)，其更本質(zhì)、更核心的意義，在于培養(yǎng)學(xué)習(xí)者對英文的濃厚興趣——這才是一切學(xué)習(xí)者成功的源動(dòng)力。一直以來，我都有一個(gè)想法，想要整理一套經(jīng)典優(yōu)美的、適合年輕人的英文讀物，將很多我認(rèn)為年輕朋友們有必要讀一讀的優(yōu)秀英文作品推薦給大家。但這是一個(gè)比較浩大且責(zé)任重大的工程，必須靜下心花費(fèi)較長時(shí)間來進(jìn)行。由于我本身的事務(wù)一直也比較繁忙，這個(gè)想法始終停留在構(gòu)思階段。2008年，常青藤語言教學(xué)中心的負(fù)責(zé)人找到我，希望我能主持“每天讀點(diǎn)好英文”系列雙語讀物的編譯工作。我很認(rèn)同常青藤出版的“美麗英文系列”的品質(zhì)，中心的各位編輯老師對讀者負(fù)責(zé)的態(tài)度，我也十分佩服，他們的提議對我來說正中下懷，于是我們就此開始了為期將近兩年的選撰編譯工作?！懊刻熳x點(diǎn)好英文”系列圖書便于2010年應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。經(jīng)過一年多的市場考驗(yàn)，證明該系列圖書是成功的，但還有一些不足，我思前想后，認(rèn)為要在學(xué)習(xí)功能上再做加強(qiáng)，遂重新篩選編譯，再次出版了“最美”系列圖書（全五冊），此套圖書可以說是“每天讀點(diǎn)好英文”的升級版?！白蠲馈毕盗惺菍橛刑岣哂⑽乃叫枰团d趣的年輕朋友們量身打造的一套“超級學(xué)習(xí)版”雙語讀物，并配有專業(yè)外教錄制的光盤，將我倡導(dǎo)的“兩讀一聽”真正體現(xiàn)出來，難度有所增加，適合英語中級以上的讀者閱讀。在參與“最美”系列圖書的制作過程中，我與楊一蘭、方雪梅兩位老師，以及常青藤語言教學(xué)中心的各位專業(yè)英語編輯也著手準(zhǔn)備一套專為英語初學(xué)者閱讀的“英文愛藏”系列叢書，就是現(xiàn)在您正在閱讀的這套書。此套圖書依然延續(xù)了我一直強(qiáng)調(diào)的學(xué)習(xí)功能，這也是我們在編輯之初就賦予這套書的期許之一?！懊牢男蕾p”、“單詞積累”、“誦讀記憶”“擴(kuò)展閱讀”將是閱讀本書的提升重點(diǎn)。每篇文章的旁邊會(huì)有重點(diǎn)單詞提示，需要讀者記憶，并學(xué)會(huì)運(yùn)用。每篇作品后有三道鞏固習(xí)題：“記憶填空”是對美文內(nèi)容的回顧，填寫重點(diǎn)單詞，有助于英語句型的記憶；“佳句翻譯”是讓讀者進(jìn)行翻譯訓(xùn)練，提升思維邏輯及單詞、詞組的整體應(yīng)用能力；“短語應(yīng)用”是提煉每篇文章的重點(diǎn)短語，并要求讀者進(jìn)行造句訓(xùn)練，進(jìn)而提升短語運(yùn)用能力。這就真正形成了一個(gè)初學(xué)者的學(xué)習(xí)體系——記憶單詞、學(xué)習(xí)語法、運(yùn)用詞組、實(shí)踐運(yùn)用，不愁英語功底學(xué)習(xí)得不扎實(shí)。有讀者會(huì)問，此系列圖書是如何選材的呢？要解釋這個(gè)問題，首先要明白衡量一部作品質(zhì)量的最強(qiáng)大標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是什么？是時(shí)間。那些超越了歷史與時(shí)代局限流傳下來的，往往才是文化中最精華的部分。我們經(jīng)過反復(fù)研究，精心選擇了各國知名作家最具有代表性的作品來奉獻(xiàn)給讀者。一篇篇經(jīng)典雋永的美文，不僅可以讓人在反復(fù)咀嚼中唇齒留香，同時(shí)也拓展了讀者的知識面，達(dá)到了開闊視野、提升素養(yǎng)的目的。另一點(diǎn)值得注意的是，“英文愛藏”系列從典雅的版式設(shè)計(jì)到精美的細(xì)節(jié)標(biāo)識，從題型設(shè)置、心靈感悟到部分文章的作者介紹等增補(bǔ)鏈接，在細(xì)節(jié)上下足了功夫，都是為了增加讀者的閱讀和學(xué)習(xí)興趣。時(shí)尚的雙色印刷技術(shù)，清晰地區(qū)別了閱讀與學(xué)習(xí)功能，讓讀者能更輕松地享受閱讀，提高英語水平。主持編譯“英文愛藏”“最美”系列的過程中，我與楊一蘭、方雪梅兩位老師收獲良多，故此也希望年輕的朋友在閱讀這套書的時(shí)候能有所收獲，希望這套書能成為波瀾壯闊的英文海洋中的導(dǎo)航員，幫助更多的讀者發(fā)自內(nèi)心地愛上英文學(xué)習(xí)，理解英語文化之美。吳文智中國譯協(xié)專家會(huì)員、中國譯協(xié)理事、江蘇省譯協(xié)秘書長南京師范大學(xué)外國語學(xué)院《江蘇外語教學(xué)研究》雜志主編、研究員2011年11月30日

章節(jié)摘錄

通往幸福的旅途Our Pursuit of Happiness佚名 AnonymousWe chase after it, when it is waiting all about us.“Are you happy?” I asked my brother, Ian, one day. “Yes. No. It depends on what you mean.” He said.“Then tell me,” I asked, “when was the last time you think you were happy?”“April 1967.” He said.It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life. But Ian's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle of sheer delight-and those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, popularity and whether that zit will clear up before a prom night. I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. But I also recall the ecstasy of being plucked from obscurity at another event to dance with a John Travolta look-alike.In adulthood the things that bring profound joy-birth, love, marriage also-bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last, sex isn't always good, loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complicated.My dictionary defines happy as “l(fā)ucky” or “fortunate”, but I think a better definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment.” The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I added up my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First there was sheer bliss when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Later, peace descended again, and my husband and I enjoyed another pleasure-intimacy. Sometimes just the knowledge that he wants me can bring me joy.You never know where happiness will turn up next. When I asked friends what made them happy, some mentioned seemingly insignificant moments. “I hate shopping,” one friend said, “but there's a clerk who always chats and really cheers me up.” Another friend loves the telephone, “Every time it rings, I know someone is thinking about me.”I get a thrill from driving. One day I stopped to let a school bus turn onto a side road. The driver grinned and gave me thumbs up sign. We were two allies in a world of mad motorists. It made me smile.We all experience moments like these. Too few of us register them as happiness.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a blend of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I doubt that my great-grandmother, who raised 14 children and took in washing, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this was what fulfilled her. If she was happy with what she had, perhaps it was because she didn't expect life to be very different.We, on the other hand, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we “gotta have”. We're so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equate it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we perceive what happens to us. It's the knack of finding a positive for every negative, and viewing a setback as a challenge. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.我們四處追逐幸福，幸福其實(shí)就在我們身邊。一天，我問哥哥伊恩：“你感到幸福嗎？”他回答說：“可以說幸福，也可以說不幸福，這要看你指什么了?！薄澳悄愀嬖V我，”我說，“最近一次你感到幸福是什么時(shí)候？”“1967年4月?！彼鸬馈Ｎ艺娌辉搶σ粋€(gè)游戲生活的人提出這么嚴(yán)肅的問題。但伊恩的回答給了我一個(gè)啟示：我們想到的幸福時(shí)刻通常是一些非同尋常的事，一種純粹的快樂——但是隨著年齡的增長，這種快樂好像越來越少了。對一個(gè)孩子來說，幸福有著夢幻般的色彩。記得我曾在剛修剪好的干草叢中捉迷藏，在樹林里玩“警察與小偷”，在學(xué)校的戲劇里扮演有臺詞的角色。當(dāng)然，孩子也有情緒低落的時(shí)候。但是，因?yàn)橼A得了一場比賽，或得了一輛新車，他們會(huì)毫不掩飾地快樂到極點(diǎn)。到了青少年時(shí)期，幸福觀逐漸轉(zhuǎn)變。突然間，幸福就有了前提，你開始關(guān)注情緒，是否有愛，是否出名，甚至臉上的青春痘能否在舞會(huì)前消失。我清楚地記得，大家都去參加一個(gè)舞會(huì)，而我未被邀請時(shí)的痛苦。但也記得，在另一次活動(dòng)中，與一個(gè)貌似約翰o特拉沃爾塔的人共舞，帶給一個(gè)默默無聞的小人物的那種狂喜。成年后，心靈深處最令人喜悅的是生育和愛情，婚姻同時(shí)也帶來了責(zé)任和安逸。愛情可能會(huì)消逝，性愛也不總是如意，心愛的人可能會(huì)死去。對于成人來說，幸福很復(fù)雜。字典里幸福的定義是“幸運(yùn)”或“好運(yùn)”，但我認(rèn)為幸福更好的定義是“感受快樂的能力”，越知足越常樂。但是，愛與被愛，友人相伴，簡單的生活，甚至健康的體魄，這些細(xì)碎的快樂很容易被我們忽視。我重溫了一下昨日的幸福時(shí)光，我把最后一個(gè)午餐盒飯準(zhǔn)備好，整個(gè)家就屬于我一個(gè)人了。然后，我寫作，整個(gè)上午都沒人打擾，我很快樂。孩子們回到家，我又享受著寂靜一天后的熱鬧。不久，寧靜再次降臨，我和丈夫享受另一種快樂——親熱。有時(shí)候，只要想到他需要我，就能給我?guī)砜鞓?。你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道幸福下一次會(huì)在什么時(shí)候出現(xiàn)。當(dāng)我問起朋友，什么能給他們帶來幸福時(shí)，有些人會(huì)提到一些看似微不足道的小事?！拔矣憛捹徫?，”一個(gè)朋友說，“但有些健談的售貨員的確令我很開心。”另一個(gè)朋友喜歡接電話，“每次電話一響，我就知道有人想我了。”我喜歡開車的刺激。一天，我停下來，讓一輛學(xué)校班車拐到路邊。那個(gè)司機(jī)咧嘴一笑，會(huì)意地豎起大拇指。到處都是瘋狂的飆車族，而我們倆是另類。我笑了起來。我們都有過類似的經(jīng)歷，但很少有人能意識到這就是幸福。心理學(xué)家告訴我們，幸福既需要愉快的休閑時(shí)間，也需要滿意的工作。我的曾祖母養(yǎng)育了14個(gè)孩子，還要給別人洗衣服，做其他一些家務(wù)雜活。這兩樣?xùn)|西她都沒有，但她有來自各方向的親密的朋友和一個(gè)和睦的家。或許，這已使她很滿足了。如果說她因自己擁有的一切感到幸福，或許是因?yàn)樗⒉幌Ｍ钍橇硪环瑯幼?。另一方面，面對太多的選擇，在各個(gè)方面都想成功，讓我們把幸福變成“必須得到”的一種東西。我們自私地以為我們有“權(quán)”得到它，這也是我們痛苦的根源。所以我們?nèi)プ非笮腋?，并將它同?cái)富和成功聯(lián)系起來，而沒有意識到擁有它的人并不一定更幸福。對我們來說，盡管每個(gè)人對幸福的理解不同，但是幸福的含義是從來不變的。幸福不是發(fā)生在我們周圍的事——而是我們?nèi)绾稳タ创車l(fā)生的事。秘訣就在于，我們以積極的心態(tài)面對逆境，變壓力為動(dòng)力。幸福并不是祈求我們所沒有的，而是享受我們所擁有的。記憶填空1.

Happiness is not an aim, but a journey. If you seek for pleasure in the course of the journey, the course will become a destination, and what's more, it will be a prolonged, boundlessly beneficial destination for all your life.2. The happy place is this place, and the happy moment is this moment. Remain standing here, seize the present moment, and you will be happy.3. Happiness is mental before it is physical.In order to be physically happy to the full, you must first feel at ease and be free of worry. It is better to eat without meat than to have a load on your mind.4. Happiness is the opposite of unhappiness； the decline of the one means the growth of the other. Release yourself from the unhappy mood and you will be happy.5. Happiness is a matter of five cakes of bread and two fishes； the more you give out, the more you will get back. Share your happiness with others and you will enjoy it most.6. If your heart's desire is easily satisfied, your happiness will soon come to an end. In order that your happiness may last, you have to leave some of your desires unfulfilled.7. When you are happy, you feel contented. You should also feel contented, when you are unhappy. Be always full of zest and happiness will become an inveterate habit.8. Happiness is a very strange thing. It will not turn up when you beckon it, call it, and solicit it. But when you feign complete indifference, it will fawn upon you, lean close to you and live with you. In dealing with happiness, you should adopt the strategy of leaving it at large the better to apprehend it.9. Happiness is drifting from place to place. It is unwise as well as futile to try to retain it. You have got to keep on making new happiness, so that one happiness follows in the wake of another.10. The greatest happiness you can gain is realizing that you are not necessarily in need of it.有多少種方法可以達(dá)到快樂的境界呢？1. 快樂不是終點(diǎn)，而是一次旅程。如果你在旅程中尋找快樂，那過程就變成終點(diǎn)，而且是你生命中受益匪淺、意義深遠(yuǎn)的終點(diǎn)。2. 快樂的地方就在此處，快樂的時(shí)刻就在此時(shí)。停留在此處，并抓住此刻，你就是快樂的。3. 快樂首先體現(xiàn)在精神上，而后是身體上。為了使身體上的快樂更加豐盈，你必須做到氣定神閑，毫無煩擾。寧可吃飯的時(shí)候無肉，也不要讓心中滿是負(fù)擔(dān)。4. 快樂與憂愁是相互對立的，此消彼長。從憂愁中解脫出來，才能享受到快樂。5. 快樂是用5塊餅釣2條魚，付出的越多，得到的越多。與他人分享你的快樂，你會(huì)更快樂。6. 如果你心里的愿望很容易就得到滿足，那快樂也會(huì)很快結(jié)束。為了能延長你的快樂，就必須有未完成的愿望。7. 當(dāng)你快樂時(shí)，你會(huì)感到滿足；不開心時(shí)，也要保持心情舒暢。經(jīng)常充滿熱情，快樂就會(huì)成為長久的習(xí)慣。8. 快樂是一種非常奇怪的東西，當(dāng)你召喚它、呼喊它、懇求它時(shí)，它卻不出來；當(dāng)你假裝不關(guān)心它時(shí)，它又來討好你、依偎著你、不離開你。與快樂打交道，你需要“欲擒故縱”。9. 快樂四處飄蕩，試圖抓住它，是愚昧又無用的。你需要制造新的快樂，以使快樂接連不斷。10. 你能獲得的最大快樂，就是意識到快樂并不是你的必需。記憶填空1.
