2、，吃过晚 饭，看了点电视新闻，有些迷糊了，打算洗个脸、泡泡脚，上床寻梦去。门铃一响，来了客人。从不谢客，理当接待。忙把袜子穿上，整冠而出。来客红光满面，一开口就知道是远客。他拿出一张名片：“我是 S 文艺社记着，由 X 同志介绍来的。来京开会，兼带访问在京名人的使命。已拜访过 Z 老、J 老。”“我算什么名人，那能比他们两老。既来之，则安之。那就请坐，不知要谈点什么，请提吧！”“您叫什么名字？”老黄吓了一跳，访问名人，居然连名字还没搞清楚。“嗯嗯，我叫”“不，请教黄老的原名。”,Mr.Huang was old.People addressed him as“Respected Mr.Huan

3、g”.,Being old,he easily got tired and could not help it.After super,having watched News Today on the TV,he began to feel sleepy,so he went about washing his face and feet before going to bed.,Suddenly the door-bell rang,announcing the arrival of a visitor.,As Mr.Huang had never refused any visit bef

4、ore,this one should be received with courtesy too.,Quickly putting his socks back on and smoothing his hair,he hurried to the door,and there he was confronted by a man with a glowing face.,By the first word he uttered Mr.Huang knew that this man was from a far-off place.,The man took out a calling c

5、ard from his pocket and said:,“Im a reporter of the Literature and Arts Gazette of S city,and Im here to see you on Mr.Xs recommendation.,Ive come to attend a symposium in Beijing and in the meantime Im visiting some celebrities here.,Ive had the honor of visiting with Respected Mr.Z and Mr.J.”,“Im

6、not much of a celebrity though.How can I be lined up with them.,However,since youve come,come on in and take a seat.,Whatever you want to talk about please go ahead.”,“Whats your name?”,Mr.Huang was shocked.How come he is here visiting me as a“celebrity”and doesnt even know my name?,“Well,my name is

7、”,“No,but Im asking about your original name.”,VII.Resume Translation,I.Review and homework checking,“小时候妈妈叫我的吗？八十年啦，自己也忘了，真抱歉！”“常用的笔名呢？”“乱七八糟地写了那么多年，东换西换的，一时也排不出队来了！”于是，第二个问题：“黄老哪里人，南方的？”“不错，也不太南，就是你们那边一律叫上海人的那种地方。”“在哪工作，多少工资？”“老啦，干不了啦，也没什么工资，拿些退休金，就是外国人叫养老金领取者。”“啊，离休了，每月多少，不少吧？”向会客室打量了一下。“还可以就是了！”

8、见回答太简单，另换题目了。,“You mean the one my mother gave me when I was small?But it was eighty years ago and Ive clean forgotten it myself.Im sorry about that.”,“What about the pen name you use regularly?”,“For so many years Ive written all sorts of stuff under all sorts of pen names.Im not sure I can sort th

9、em out at the moment.”,Then came the second question.,“Where are you from?From the south?”,“Yes,quite,but not too far south.In fact Im from a place where people are known to your area as Shanghainese.”,“Where do you work and how much do you earn?”,“Im too old to work any more.Im not drawing any sala

10、ry except some pension-Im a pensioner as the Westerners call it.”,“I see.Youre retired.How much pension do you receive each month?Not too small a sum,I guess?”he said,running his eyes around the sitting-room.,“Enough to keep me going,thats all.”,Thinking that the answers given were too curt and brie

11、f,he came up with a new idea.,VII.Resume Translation,I.Review and homework checking,“咱们合照一个相。”从手提包中拿出摄影机来：“请刚才那位倒茶的，按一下就行！”老黄心里对太太抱歉了，连忙声明：“对不起，刚才没介绍，那是我老伴，她不会照相，免了吧，还是谈问题。”不免暗暗反感了，是查户口还是什么，看他一边问，一边记录。“在家做什么，写自传吗？”“哪有这种资格，坐家呗，好久拿不起笔了，没作什么！”“那我们谈谈文艺问题！”“请说具体些可以吗？”“比方说，现在大家正讨论 P诗人的朦胧诗，您老有什么看法。”,“Shall

12、 we have a photo taken together?”,He produced a camera from his bag and went on:,“Lets ask the old woman to help us,the one whos just brought tea.Give a push to the button.Just as simple as that.”,Feeling terribly sorry for his wife,Mr.Huang protested:,“Im sorry I forgot to introduce her to you.The

13、old woman is my wife.She knows nothing about the camera,so forget about the photo.Lets go on with your questions.”,Mr.Huang was kind of irritated to find that the visitor,while asking questions,kept jotting down notes like a security policeman checking household registrations.,“What do you do at hom

14、e?Writing an autobiography?”,“Not qualified to do that.Just sitting idle at home.I havent touched the pen for ages,as a matter of fact.”,“Shall we talk about literature and arts?”,“Could you make it more specific,please?”,“For example,these days people are discussing poet Ps mystic poetry.What do yo

15、u think of it?”,VII.Resume Translation,I.Review and homework checking,“对不起，没读过，也读不懂，落后了；报刊少看，讨论也没关心过。”“那谈谈文学的通俗问题，这次我来京参加这问题的讨论会，请黄老谈谈。”“通俗嘛，好啊，人人看得懂，这就是我的意见。”老黄两眼皮又迷糊起来了。“那谈谈对目前文艺形势的感想，好吗？”“也没多少感想。至于目前，我感到有些困，想睡觉了！”这一下，可大扫了远客的兴头：“啊吆，对不起，打搅了，下次再拜访！”站起来了。“是我对不起您啦，远道而来，无可奉告，恕不远送了！欢迎下次再光临！”,“Im sorry I

16、 havent read any of his poetry and I dont think I can understand it.I have yet to catch up.I seldom read newspapers and magazines and never concern myself with the discussion of his poetry.”,“Would you like to talk about literature going pop,then?This is the theme of the symposium this time.Could yo

17、u air some views on that?”,“literature going pop?Very well.Make it understandable to all.This is my view,if you like?”,Mr.Huang began to feel drowsy again.,“could you please tell me how you feel about the general trend of literature and arts at the moment?”,“I dont feel much about that but,at the mo

18、ment,I feel sleepy.I feellike going to bed.”,This was terribly disappointing to the visitor.,“Well,well,I must apologize for having disturbed you.Ill visit you again next time I am in Beijing.”,With this he stood up.,“I must apologize to you,sir.Youve come from afar but I havent got much to offer.Pa

19、rdon me for not seeing you off.You are welcome to drop in next time.”,II.Business letters&Private letters,II.Business letters&Private letters,I.Review and homework checking,It was one of those days that the peasant fishermen on this tributary of the Amazon River dream about.With water levels falling

20、 rapidly at the peak of the dry season,a giant school of bass,a tasty fish that fetches a good price at markets,was swimming right into the nets being cast from a dozen small canoes here.“With a bit of luck,you can make$350 on a day like this,”Lauro Souza Almeida,a leader of the local fishermens coo

21、perative,exulted as he moved into position.“That is a fortune for people like us,”he said,the equivalent of four months at the minimum wage earned by those fortunate enough to find work.But hovering nearby was a large commercial fishing vessel,a“mother boat”equipped with large ice chests for storage

22、 and hauling more than a dozen smaller craft.The crew on board was just waiting for the remainder of the fish to move into the rivers main channel,where they intended to scoop up as many as they could with their efficient gill nets.,在亚马逊河的这一支流上捕鱼的农民就希望遇上那天的情况。,旱季最缺水的时候，河面迅速下降，一大群鲈鱼正游进十几只小船上撒下的网里。鲈鱼味

23、道鲜美，能在市场上买个好价钱。,“要是运气不错，赶上今天这种情况，就能挣350美元，”；劳鲁 苏扎 阿尔梅达说道。他是当地渔民合作社的一位负责人。他一边兴高采烈地说着，一边摆好了架式准备干活。,他说：“对我们这样的人来说那可是一大笔钱呀。”因为就算一个人运气好，能找到工作，按最低工资就算，要四个月才能挣这么钱。,然而就在不远的地方，有一只大型商业渔船在游弋，那是一只“母船”，备有巨大的储藏冰柜，还拖着十几只小船。,船员都在船上等候，等到 剩余的 鱼进入主河道以后，他们就用高效率的刺网进行捕捞，能捞多少，就捞多少。,II.Business letters&Private letters,II.B

24、usiness letters&Private letters,I.Review and homework checking,As symbol of abundance to the rest of the world,the Amazon is experiencing a crisis of overfishing.As stocks of the most popular species diminish to worrisome levels,tensions are growing between subsistence fishermen and their commercial

25、 rivals,who are eager to enrich their bottom line and satisfy the growing appetite for fish of city-dwellers in Brazil and abroad.In response,peasants up and down the Amazon,here in Brazil and in neighboring countries like Peru,are forming cooperatives to control fish catches and restock their river

26、s and lakes.But that effort,increasingly successful,has only encouraged the commercial fishing operations,as well as some of the peasants less disciplined neighbors,to step up their depredations.“The industrial fishing boats,the big 20-to-30-ton vessels,they have a different mentality than us artisa

27、nal fishermen,who have learned to take the protection of the environment into account,”said the president of the local fishermens union.“They want to sweep everything up with their dragnets and then move on,benefiting from our work and sacrifice and leaving us with nothing.”,亚马逊河在世界上是物产丰富的标志，但它现在正经受

28、一场过量捕鱼的危机。,随着人们最喜爱的各种鱼类数量日渐减少，到了令人担忧的地步，靠打鱼糊口的渔民和他们商业对手之间的紧张关系也日益加剧，因为这些对手一心想着装满自己的船舱，以满足巴西乃至国外城里人越来越大的吃鱼胃口。,针对这种情况，亚马逊河沿岸的农民群众，在巴西境内也好，在秘鲁等邻国也好，纷纷成立合作社，以求控制捕鱼量，增加河湖中鱼的数量。,但是，这方面的努力虽日见成效，却促使那些为商业目的而捕鱼的机构以及附近一些不大守规矩的农民加紧进行掠夺。,“那些工业化的渔船，二、三十吨位的，他们的想法跟我们这些靠手工操作的渔民不一样，我们懂得考虑怎样保护环境，”当地的渔业工会主席说道。,“他们想用拖网一

29、网打尽，然后又上别处去打。我们出力，他们受益，弄得我们一无所有。”,信头 编号 日期 收信人地址 经办人或者部门 称呼语 事由 正文 结束敬语 签名,II.Business letters&Private letters,II.Business letters&Private letters,II.Summary of Social Practical Writings,the heading the reference line the date the inside address the attention line the salutation subject the body of
