他們沒有親自來我的。還有更高一級的思索問過“什么是真理?”后就開始去尋找它。它帶著游泳者離開岸游了一段距離,然后把他留在那里,束手無策。尋找比我們年長的人的缺陷助長了年輕的自我,卻無法讓人覺得安全。我把披著浴巾的維納斯放在檔案櫥柜上,這樣頂層抽屜就接住了她在性感的騷動中發(fā)出的喘息:“Aah!”那個怪異的思考者,我把它放到了櫥柜邊緣,這樣他好象在朝下盯著那條浴巾,等待著它掉下來。也許是因為他沒有找到更多的侯選者,那些雕像還在老地方,在那櫥柜頂上白晃晃的落滿塵埃。我走了進去。一天晚上,我一個人來到學校的禮堂為一個聚會做準備。所以第二等級思考可能會是危險的。幸好我們當時都才十四歲。那天晚上,她父親來拜訪我父親,走的時候一副面紅耳赤,義憤填膺的樣子。露絲的確是為我好,因為我人這么好。最后她說有那么多衛(wèi)理會會派教徒,他們不可能是錯的,幾百萬的人都錯了,可能嗎?這太簡單了,我倔強地說(你越接近露絲,她就越好接近),羅馬天主教徒也為數(shù)眾多,他們也不可能是錯的,他們有幾億人,可能都錯了嗎?她眼中撲閃著疑慮。我反駁說天主教徒信仰圣杰羅姆的拉丁文圣經,而這兩本書是不同的。但是,呵呵,露絲沒有用圣靈的精神來轉化我,而是愚蠢地用她可愛的小嘴試圖說服我。我象個第三等級的思考者一樣假惺惺地任由她改變我的信仰。那個時候我是一個無神論者。我也一樣感覺到了強大的自然之手的力量,開始發(fā)現(xiàn)指出矛盾有可能代價昂貴,也可能是有趣的。聽人們以狐貍喜歡這樣的待遇為理由為他們捕獵狐貍,把它們撕成碎片的習慣辯護,我們的女首相談論通過逮捕尼赫魯和甘地這樣的人跟印度協(xié)商的好處,美國政客們可以剛談完和平轉身就拒絕加入國際聯(lián)盟的時候,是的,還是有令人高興的時刻的。它讓我在冷眼看著人群為國王陛下歡呼的時候覺得這樣的喧囂不知所謂,卻沒有提供什么可以替代這樣強烈愛國精神。這種思考成為我的嗜好,給我?guī)頋M足干的同時也帶來孤獨感。第二等級的思考者雖然常常回會犯另一個錯,落在后面,但他們不會輕易地被嚇倒。第二個等級的思考是對于矛盾的覺察。一大堆第三等級的思考者,眾口一詞,籍著自己的偏見溫暖雙手,他們是不會感激你指出他們信仰中的矛盾的。他們高度地團結一致。她讓我懂得了和第三等級思考者打交道的一個重大的真理。誠然,偏見里是有無辜的成分,但是在那時我對第三等級的思考的態(tài)度是毫不寬容的蔑視和不假思索的嘲笑。從技術上而言,它嫻熟如同商人玩高爾夫,誠實如同政客的意圖,或者 ——更接近我自己的領域—— 有條理如同大多數(shù)寫出來的書。通過他們我發(fā)現(xiàn)思考通常是充滿了無意識的偏見、無知和虛偽的。還有漢茲先生 —— 等等。還有帕森小姐。無論這兩個國家中哪一個在時事中表現(xiàn)突出,他都對它沒有好感,任何論證都無法說服他。通常它在領口上方稍稍凸出。在這種情況下,我認為他不是受思想,而是受他后頸里某個看不到卻無法抗拒的發(fā)條的控制。但是在發(fā)表這些獨白的間隙,如果有個女孩經過窗前,靈巧的小腳發(fā)出輕輕的腳步聲。他會步履蹣跚地走回講臺,然后癱軟在那里,一個上午都緩不過勁來。你能聽到風被他的胸腔堵住,遇到障礙物艱難前進發(fā)出的聲音?!艾F(xiàn)在,孩子們!深呼吸!感覺上帝創(chuàng)造的美好氣流直接進入你們的體內!”他會站在我們面前,為他的健康而欣喜,好象他一個常進行戶外活動的人。他帶著謙遜的滿足告訴我他自己就動過一點腦筋思索過。我象那些生來耳聾卻決意苦苦尋求聲音的人一樣觀察著我的老師們,想要了解思想。更小一點的時候,我甚至覺得思索者塑像也是令人迷惑的。事實上,我是邪惡的。一定是這樣的,在回班上去的路上我想著?!憋@然我是缺了點什么?!蔽液翢o興趣地看了看桌上的男子,什么也沒弄懂?!澳悄阕詈脤W一學 —— 你學了嗎?” 有一次,校長跳起身來伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。他的鏡片反光,所以我看不到鏡片后面有什么人性的東西,所以沒有交流的可能?!疤痤^來,孩子!你就不能抬起頭來嗎?”然后我就會抬起頭來看櫥柜,看著裸體女士被凍結在恐懼中,健碩的男子無限憂郁地凝視著獵豹的后腿。每次在校長桌前接受處罰,那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼時,我就會垂下頭,在身后緊扣雙手,兩只鞋不停地蹭來蹭去。其實應該說,我是頑劣不羈,頭腦迷糊的。我想我得解釋一下,我是校長辦公室的常客,為我最近做過或者沒做的事情。那位健碩的裸體男子并不痛苦,他是洛丁的思索者,一個純粹思索的象征。她不是在為浴巾擔心,而是忙著顯示美麗。那位裸體的女士是米洛斯的維納絲。在豹子的另一邊端坐著一個健碩的裸體男子,他手肘支在膝頭,手握拳托著腮幫子,全然一副痛苦不堪的樣子。而不幸的是她沒有手臂,所以無法把浴巾拉上來。其中一位女士除了一條浴巾外一絲不掛。第一個把思考這個問題帶到我面前的是我文法學校的校長,當然這樣的方式,這樣的結果是他始料不及的。那個時候我一定是個很讓大人頭疼的小孩。s They form the second subsection of the battle royal incident violent and brutal fight attention to the use of specific words narration realistic and They describe how the white men further humiliated the black boys even after the battle royal was of giving the money the boys were supposed to get for their performance, the white men made fun of them by making them scramble for the money on an electrified part adds to the general chaos of the whole 4790 They form the last subsection of the whole battle royal this part the narrator finally got his chance to deliver his wellprepared , in the middle of his speech, he made a mistake, but everything went well in the end and he was given an awarda scholarship for —94 They bring the story to a final narrator was overjoyed with his triumph, and that night he dreamed of his grandfather and awoke with the old man’s laughter rining in his the exercise in the textPart some translation EightThe Merely Very GoodTeaching aims: understand the article the development of the textTeaching difficulties: how to analyze the development of the article and the implied meaning for some sentencesTime distribution: eight periodsTeaching method: studentscenteredTeaching procedures:Part on the author:Jeremy Bernstein(1929): professor of physics and getting his physics at Harvard, he spent time at the institute for advanced study in Princeton and at the National Science taught physics for 5years at New York University and then at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jeremy Bernstein has also spent more than 30 years on the staff of The New Yorker magazine, writing mostly about physics, puters, and other topics in physical moves as fortably among sentences and paragraphs as among study of the text:Part about the article is called ― Father of the Atomic Bomb‖ and had been in charge of the Los Alamas nuclear laboratory for many the author considers him as merely very you think the author is right and fair in relegating Oppenheimer to the merely very good? you think it is right to say to be highly focused or not is the cause separating the great ones from the merely very good?
