英语是一种多么崇高的工具!
我们每写下一页,都不可能不对祖国语言的丰富多彩、灵便精深产生一种赞同的喜悦。
如果某个英国作家不能用英语,不能用简明的英语说出自己必须说的话,那么这样的话也许就不值得说。
英语没有更广泛地得到学习是何等憾事。
我不是在攻击古典教育。
凡自命对文学有一丁点鉴赏力的人都不可能对古典教育的吸引力无动于衷。
但我承认,我国目前的教育制度使人忧心忡忡。
我无法相信这是一种最佳的制度,甚至无法相信这是一种合理的制度,因为这个制度把那种唯有少数特权人物和天才人物才能欣赏的文学珍品,全数摆在很不情愿且又很不理解的普通大众面前。
对公立党校的广大学童来说,古典教育从头至尾是冗长的、毫无意义的、毫无用处的。
倘若有人告诉我,古典课程是学习英语的最好准备,那我的回答便是,迄今为止这个准备阶段不完善,它未能收到所承诺的任何成效。

ListeningandTranslation
Ⅰ.SentenceTranslation
1.销售经理正考虑在这个城里再留几天。
2.艺术教学主要是鼓励每个学生的想象力,让他们尽可能自由地表达自己的思想。
3.中国是这位总统四国之行的第一站,他还将访问日本、南朝鲜和菲律宾。
4.与日本和欧洲各国相比,在每千人拥有的医生数方面,美国遥遥领先。
5.我将谈谈这个城里发生的道路事故数字,在1995年到1997年期间事故数量上下波动很大。
Ⅱ.PassageTranslation
1.传统美国家庭由于活挣钱的父亲、当家庭妇女的母亲和两到三个孩子组成。
但在近来
20~25年中,这情景发生了变化。
现在除了传统模式的家庭外,还有许多不同类型的家庭。
例如,有许多单身母亲或父亲独力扶养孩子;有结婚的夫妇决定不要孩子。
有时候已成年的孩子可能又回家与父母同住。
有时候你还会发现有些老年人合住一所房子,以节约开支。
2.如果你因公出差,你最感困难的问题不是语言障碍或飞行时差综合症,而是午餐。
每个国家都有不同的习俗,你可马乎不得。
在欧洲南部,午餐休息时间很长。
例如在意大利,可能会长达三小时。
有些午餐分量比其他地方小。
如果你到斯堪的纳维亚,工作午餐就是一份三明治。
如果你的主人拒绝饮酒而只喝牛奶,千万别大惊小怪。
不是所有地方都如此有健康意识。
美国人总抱怨抽烟喝酒,但在俄罗斯人们在午餐时又抽烟又喝酒。
