>01 The Language of Music

A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see

it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed.

Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the

composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and

as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to

become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for

musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet

dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would

be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice

moving the fing(轉(zhuǎn) 載 于:www.zuancaijixie.com 蒲 公英文 摘:優(yōu)美英語短文帶翻譯)ers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to

and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements.

Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in

tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are

already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility

to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the

hammers that hit the strings have to becoaxed not to sound

like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student

conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it

should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with

fanatical but selfless authority.

Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge

and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in

the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any

century.

01 音樂的語言

畫家將已完成的作品掛在墻上，每個人都可以觀賞到。 作曲家寫完了一部作品，得由 演奏者將其演奏出來，其他人才能得以欣賞。因?yàn)樽髑�家是如此完全地依賴于職業(yè)歌手和職 業(yè)演奏者，所以職業(yè)歌手和職業(yè)演奏者肩上的擔(dān)子可謂不輕。

一名學(xué)音樂的學(xué)生要想成為 一名演奏者，需要經(jīng)受長期的、嚴(yán)格的訓(xùn)練，就象一名醫(yī)科的學(xué)生要成為一名醫(yī)生一樣。 絕 大多數(shù)的訓(xùn)練是技巧性的。

音樂家們控制肌肉的熟練程度，必須達(dá)到與運(yùn)動員或巴蕾舞演 員相當(dāng)?shù)乃�平�?歌手們每天都練習(xí)吊嗓子，因?yàn)槿绻�不能有效地控制肌肉的話，他們的�?/p>

帶將不能滿足演唱的要求。 弦樂器的演奏者練習(xí)的則是在左手的手指上下滑動的同時(shí)，用 右手前后拉動琴弓--兩個截然不同的動作。歌手和樂器演奏者必須使所有的音符完全相同協(xié) 調(diào)。 鋼琴家們則不用操這份心，因?yàn)槊總�音符都已在那里等待著他們了。

給鋼琴調(diào)音是調(diào) 音師的職責(zé)。 但調(diào)音師們也有他們的難處： 他們必須耐心地調(diào)理敲擊琴弦的音錘，不能讓

音錘發(fā)出的聲音象是打擊樂器，而且每個交疊的音都必須要清晰。如何得到樂章清晰的紋理 是學(xué)生指揮們所面臨的難題：他們必須學(xué)會了解音樂中的每一個音及其發(fā)音之道。 他們還 必須致力于以熱忱而又客觀的權(quán)威去控制這些音符。除非是和音樂方面的知識和悟性結(jié)合起

來，單純的技巧沒有任何用處。

藝術(shù)家之所以偉大在于他們對音樂語言駕輕就熟，以致于 可以滿懷喜悅地演出寫于任何時(shí)代的作品。

>02 Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people

go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today

children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction

between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.

Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the

shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes

both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole

universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a

revered grandparent to the

people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished

scientist.

Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often

produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person

to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in

education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive

term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start

of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose

general pattern varies littlefromone setting to the next.

Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately

the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar

textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that

are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the

workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the

subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are

not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems

in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.

There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of

schooling.

上學(xué)與受教育

在美國，人們通常認(rèn)為上學(xué)是為了受教育。 而現(xiàn)在卻有人認(rèn)為孩子們上學(xué)打斷了他們 受教育的過程。 這種觀念中的上學(xué)與受教育之間的區(qū)別非常重要。

與上學(xué)相比，教育更具 開放性，內(nèi)容更廣泛。 教育不受任何限制。 它可以在任何場合下進(jìn)行，在淋浴時(shí)，在工作 時(shí)，在廚房里或拖拉機(jī)上。

它既包括在學(xué)校所受的正規(guī)教育，也包括一切非正規(guī)教育。 傳 授知識的人可以是德高望重的老者，可以是收音機(jī)里進(jìn)行政治辯論的人們，可以是小孩子，

也可以是知名的科學(xué)家。 上學(xué)讀書多少有點(diǎn)可預(yù)見性，而教育往往能帶來意外的發(fā)現(xiàn)。 與 陌生人的一次隨意談話可能會使人認(rèn)識到自己對其它宗教其實(shí)所知甚少。

人們從幼時(shí)起就 開始受教育。 因此，教育是一個內(nèi)涵很豐富的詞，它自始至終伴隨人的一生，早在人們上 學(xué)之前就開始了。

教育應(yīng)成為人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而，上學(xué)卻是一個特定的形 式化了的過程。 在不同場合下，它的基本形式大同小異。 在全國各地，孩子們幾乎在同一

時(shí)刻到達(dá)學(xué)校，坐在指定的座位上，由一位成年人傳授知識，使用大致相同的教材，做作業(yè)， 考試等等。

他們所學(xué)的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的一些片斷，如字母表或政府的運(yùn)作，往往受到科目范 圍的限制。 例如，高中生們知道，在課堂上他們沒法弄清楚他們社區(qū)里政治問題的真情， 也不會了解到最新潮的電影制片人在做哪些嘗試。

學(xué)校教育這一形式化的過程是有特定的 限制的。

>03 The Definition of "Price"

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by

which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among

buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed

of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as

well as those of a myriad of services, includinglabor,

professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The

interrelationships of all these prices make up the

"system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is

linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems

to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group

of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that

price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or

service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a

product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This

definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete

understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than

the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller

should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and

quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at

which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of

money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the

transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return

privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should

be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being

exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may

evaluate a given price.

"價(jià)格"的定義 價(jià)格決定資源的使用方式。 價(jià)格也是有限的產(chǎn)品與服務(wù)在買方中的配給 手段。

美國的價(jià)格系統(tǒng)是復(fù)雜的網(wǎng)狀系統(tǒng)，包括經(jīng)濟(jì)生活中一切產(chǎn)品買賣的價(jià)格，也包括 名目繁多的各種服務(wù)，諸如勞動力、專職人員、交通運(yùn)輸、公共事業(yè)等服務(wù)的價(jià)格。

所有 這些價(jià)格的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系構(gòu)成了價(jià)格系統(tǒng)。 任何一種個別產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)的價(jià)格都與這個龐大而復(fù)

雜的系統(tǒng)密切相關(guān)，而且或多或少地受到系統(tǒng)中其它成份的制約。如果隨機(jī)挑選一群人，問

問他們?nèi)绾味�義"價(jià)格"，許多人會回答價(jià)格就是根據(jù)賣方提供的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)，買方向其付出 的錢數(shù)。

換句話說，價(jià)格就是市場交易中大家認(rèn)同的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)的貨幣量。 該定義就其本 身來說自有其道理。

但要獲得對價(jià)格在任何一樁交易中的完整認(rèn)識，就必須考慮到大量" 非貨幣"因素的影響。 買賣雙方不但要清楚交易中的錢數(shù)，而且要非常熟悉交易物的質(zhì)量和

數(shù)量，交易的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)，采用哪種形式付款，有怎樣的緩付和優(yōu)惠，對交易物的質(zhì)量保證、 交貨條款、退賠權(quán)利等等。

也就是說，為了能估算索價(jià)，買賣雙方必須通曉構(gòu)成交易物價(jià) 格的通盤細(xì)節(jié)。

>04 Electricity

The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric

lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what

life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people

grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because

there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent

refrigerators.

Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more

than two centuries

ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of

years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may

hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.

All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats,

it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a

doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain,

too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an

electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living

cells are extremely small -- often so small that sensitive instruments are

needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have

become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as

muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked

together, the effects can be astonishing.

The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as

much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it

lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As

many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are

specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it

can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.

電 當(dāng)今時(shí)代是電氣時(shí)代。 人們對電燈、收音機(jī)、電視和電話早已司空見慣以致很難想 象沒有它們生活會變成什么樣。

當(dāng)停電時(shí)，人們在搖曳不定的燭光下暗中摸索； 因沒有紅 綠燈的指示，汽車在道路上遲疑不前；冰箱也停止工作，導(dǎo)致食物變質(zhì)。人們只是在兩個世

紀(jì)前一點(diǎn)才開始了解電的使用原理，自然界卻顯然在這方面經(jīng)歷過了數(shù)百萬年。 科學(xué)家不 斷發(fā)現(xiàn)許多生物世界里可能有益于人類的關(guān)于電的有趣秘密。所有生物細(xì)胞都會發(fā)出微小的

電脈沖。

當(dāng)心臟跳動時(shí)，把它發(fā)出的脈沖記錄下來就成了心電圖，這可讓醫(yī)生了解心臟的 工作狀況。大腦也發(fā)出腦電波，這可在腦電圖上記錄下來。

許多生物細(xì)胞發(fā)出的電流都是 極微小的，小到要用靈敏儀器才能記錄和測量。 但一些動物的某些肌肉細(xì)胞能轉(zhuǎn)化成一個 個發(fā)電機(jī)，以致完全失去肌肉細(xì)胞的功能。

這種細(xì)胞大量地連接在一起時(shí)產(chǎn)生的效果將是 非常令人吃驚的。電鰻就是一種令人驚異的蓄電池。 它可以在水中發(fā)出相當(dāng)于 800 伏特電

壓電流(家庭用戶的電壓只有 120 伏特)。 在電鰻的身體里，多至五分之四的細(xì)胞都專門用 來發(fā)電，而且發(fā)出的電流的強(qiáng)度大約和它身體的長度成正比。

>05 The Beginning of Drama

There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama

evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the

beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world - even the

seasonal changes - as unpredictable, and they sought through various means

to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measureswhich

appeared to bringthe desired results were then retained and repeated

until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which

explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals

were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided

material for art and drama.

Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those

rites contained the seedof theaterbecausemusic, dance, masks,

and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had

to be provided for performances and when the entire community

did not participate, a clear division was usually made between

the"acting area" and the

"auditorium." In addition, there wereperformers, and, since

considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the

enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing

masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or

supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect -- success in hunt or

battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -- as an actor might.

Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious

activities.

Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in

storytelling. According to this view tales (about the hunt, war, or other

feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation,

action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each

of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater

to those dances that are primarily rhythmicaland gymnastic or that

are imitationsof animal movements and sounds.

戲劇的起源 關(guān)于古希臘戲劇的起源存在著多種理論，其中一個最普遍為人接受的理論 假設(shè)認(rèn)為戲劇從儀式演化而來。

勵志英語演講小短文

yes, yes, yes, its a new day, its a different day, and its a bright day! and most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!

in your minds eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach.

you can hear your laughters of joy and happineon the day when everything happens as you dream.

you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. you can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!篇二：英語演講小短文

smiling

i think smiling is as important as sunshine. smiling is like sunshine because it can make people happy and have a good day. if you aren?t happy, you can smile, and then you will feel happy. someone may say, “but i don?t feel happy.” then i would say, “please smile as you do when you are happy or play with your friends happily. you will really be happy again.”

smiling can let you have more friends.so i say, smiling is like a flower. it will give you happiness.

微笑

我認(rèn)為微笑是一樣重要的象陽光。 微笑是象陽光，因?yàn)樗�可能使人愉快和有一個早晨好。 如果您不是愉快的，您能微笑，您然后將感覺愉快。 某人也許說， “但是我不感到愉快”。 然后我會說， “請微笑，您，當(dāng)您愉快地是愉快或戲劇與您的朋友。 您真正地再將是愉快的”。

微笑可能讓您有更多朋友。如此我說，微笑是象花。 它將給您幸福。

how to get happiness 如何獲得快樂

there is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. without it, life will be empty and meaningless. if you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points. first, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life. secondly, happiness consists in contentment. a man who is dissatisfied with hispresent condition is always in distress. 無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂，你須注意下面兩點(diǎn)。 健康是快樂的要訣。唯有身體強(qiáng)壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣。 快樂在于知足。一個不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。

industry (diligence) 勤勉

it is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. i am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. this is unchangeable truth. idleness is the opposite of industry. it is the source of all evil. an idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. that he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. we should not follow his example. 勤勉會

帶給我們成功，財(cái)富和好運(yùn)乃是當(dāng)然之事。我確信一個苦干的人終是能夠做成功他所要做的工作。這是不易之定理。 懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬惡之源泉。一個懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂。他命運(yùn)注定失敗是毫無疑問的。我們不應(yīng)學(xué)他的榜樣。

whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. 無論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無線電臺，它能在多長時(shí)間里接收到人間萬物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會年輕多長時(shí)間。

a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.真正的朋友是一個可以援手幫助并感動你心扉的人。

theres always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.別人常常傷害你，所以你該繼續(xù)付出信任，并小心挑選你下次信任的人。

很多人在最后關(guān)頭喪失了希望。在體育領(lǐng)域這個詞是指人們在靠近終點(diǎn)線的前一刻放棄了

希望。他們認(rèn)為自己無法贏得生活的精彩,但事實(shí)上,他們可以。

the 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain. it is an important moment that

and succeed. those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing. all they need to

win the race is a little extra effort at that last point. this is the difference between winners and

losers.

大多數(shù)人往往在最后關(guān)頭會感到痛苦。但這是一個決定你能否成功的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻。成為冠軍

的人往往會再加一把勁兒從而最終成為勝利者。而那些沒有堅(jiān)持到最后的人卻一無所獲地離

開賽場。其實(shí)他們獲得成功只需要在最后時(shí)刻再付出那么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)努力。這就是勝者與敗者的

區(qū)別。

i know you have the ability to be a champion. the race will not be easy, but it can be won. you

need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal. just do a little bit more. this is

what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are. when you want to give up

or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line. you

can do it because you still have strength within you.

我相信你有能力成為冠軍。比賽是不輕松,但你同樣可以贏得勝利。為了達(dá)成目標(biāo)你需要不

懈努力。再多付出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。而這將把你與其他人區(qū)分開,這將決定你是否能成為冠軍。當(dāng)你

因?yàn)槠�憊而想到放棄或減速慢行的時(shí)候,試著再努力一次,努力堅(jiān)持到終點(diǎn)線。你可以做到,

yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! in your mind, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships1 you desire to develop and the positions you aspire to reach. 是的,今天是新的一天,今天是與眾不同的一天,今天是陽光明媚的一天。在你心里,你夢寐以求的東西,你渴望到達(dá)的地方,你想要發(fā)展的關(guān)系,你渴望得到的職位,都清晰可見。

Master of Myself我是我自己的主人

I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best ,and I am not inferior. There will be days when I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down, Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them too. I must never relinquish control. And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom i call, I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind. i can withstand him arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.

No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will i fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me with hate today. this day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth.

Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.

I will become master of myself

我將明白只有低能者才會江郎才盡，我并非低能者。我必須不斷對抗那些企圖摧垮我得力量。失望與悲傷一眼就會被識破，而其他許多敵人是不易察覺的，它們往往面帶微笑，伸出友誼之手，卻隨時(shí)有可能將我們摧垮。對它們，我們永遠(yuǎn)不能放松警惕。

有了這項(xiàng)新本領(lǐng)，我也更能體察別人的情緒變化。我寬容怒氣沖沖的人，因?yàn)樗�尚未懂得控制自己的情緒，我可以忍受他的指責(zé)和辱罵，因?yàn)槲抑�道明天他會改變，重新變得隨和。

我不再只憑一面之交來判斷一個人，也不再因他今日的可惡而明日不給他打電話。今天不肯花一分錢買金蓬馬車的人，明天他也許會用全部家當(dāng)換一顆樹苗。知道了這個秘密，我可以獲得極大的財(cái)富。

我從此領(lǐng)悟到人類和我自己情緒變化的奧秘。對于自己千變?nèi)f化的個性，我不在聽之任之，我將積極主動的控制情緒，從而掌握自己的命運(yùn)。

我將成為自己的主人。
