Even if one didn’t know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are petitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage bative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations. who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriouslybelieve—at any rate for short periods—that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.New words and expressions生詞短語goodwill n. 友好prestige n.聲譽(yù)cricket disgracevt. 使丟臉inclination n.比賽bative n.恣意,放蕩frankly ….極相似petitive a. 競爭性的behaveiour行動(dòng)pick up隨意挑選spectatotorside n. 隊(duì)word….into…..引起……注意patriotism n.地方觀念 愛國主義fury vt. 卷入absurd any rate無論……,至少…….Notes on the vocabularies詞語注釋goodwill=friendship goodwill games:友好運(yùn)動(dòng)會goodwill visit:友好訪問pay a goodwill visit toofficial visit:官方正式訪問state visit:國事訪問cricket as merry as a cricket(蟋蟀) 形容心情高興,快樂無比inclination n. 意愿incline v. be inclined to do sth表示強(qiáng)烈的意愿I am inclined to take toefl.willingshow inclination tofollow one’s inclination隨心所欲contest n. 比賽近義詞:petition game match tournament racecontest:a group of judgesbeauty contest選美比賽petition:socially抽象使用Social petition is fierce.Dog eat 。l which I take leave to doubt插入語 “我冒昧的說”,表示懷疑l If there is any,同樣表示懷疑straight forward開門見山it is older people who creat it.—強(qiáng)調(diào)句let us (speaker exclusive) – Let’s (speaker inclusive)get down to fundamentals fundamental = basic基本的fundamentalist信奉正統(tǒng)基督教的人after all – 退一步like – (介詞) 省略了謂語are people are just lije their eldersglorious future光輝的未來splendid future光輝的未來(已過去的,對老年人而言)where the rub is癥結(jié)所在,問題就出在這hatred : 憎恨ironical諷刺的,用反語的uncertain后面省略用法I would have been虛擬語氣Something重要的東西You are somebody. 你是重要人物So .. as … 后置定語出色: outstandingstand out站出來,鶴立雞群cut figure嶄露頭角one of the things正是其中之一seeking = looking forexciting令人激動(dòng)的air of freedom無拘無束= carefree , freedom from caremitment專注(to + 名詞/動(dòng)名詞)love = seek追求mean意味著,小氣卑鄙 = disgustinganxious虎視眈眈的polish擦,磨apple polisher溜須拍馬bootlicker拍馬屁者no devotion to熱愛(貶) material things物質(zhì)享受to me在我看來(插入語)life生機(jī)lifeless沒生機(jī)的,死氣沉沉的link with把什么聯(lián)系起來origin起源original原本的as if虛擬假設(shè)in some sence可以這么說吧(插入語 )in contrast with與…比較violent強(qiáng)烈= strong lovely生動(dòng)的,完美的后置的同位語suburban creatures前面用得是 – cosmic beings mediocre平庸的idol偶像idiot傻瓜conceited自負(fù)illmannered粗暴presumptuous自以為是的fatuous愚蠢無比的turn for protection to尋求保護(hù)turn to求助dreary = boring clich233??谡Z:maybe I’m too bold…or .I’m bold enough…or.Allowmyselfto say …Take one’s leave = take leave離開(正式用法)Would you please take your leave?我很煩的幾種表示法:What a bore.

If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain—that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people ex
