[00:22.31]在過去兩周里，他們每天都在這個大帳篷里表演節(jié)目。 [00:24.83]Then,like one clan unified in their chore, [00:27.47]接著，就像一個部落里的人一起干家務活一樣， [00:30.11]they clamped on to the large pins [00:34.05]holding the tent in place and pulled them out. [00:36.43]他們鉗住固定帳篷的大鐵釘，把它們拔了出來。 [00:38.81]After that they clamored about in a very civilized manner [00:41.48]之后他們便十分文明地叫嚷起來 [00:44.16]until they had packed up the large tent, [00:46.20]直到收好大帳篷、 [00:48.24]wiped off the wood chips and chopped down the [00:52.60]remaining poles to be used as fire-wood. [00:55.58]清掃完木頭碎片并把剩下的柱子砍倒當柴燒。 [00:58.56]The wood that they had claimed two weeks ago was now theirs [01:01.28]兩周前他們要的那些木頭現(xiàn)在全是他們的了， [01:04.01]to circulate amongst themselves to help heat the small cabins [01:06.84]他們把這些木頭分散到各家各戶，給大家居住的小房間取暖， [01:09.66]where they all lived and fight the chill that came every night. [01:12.44]抵御每晚襲來的嚴寒。 [01:15.22]Their efficiency at taking down the tent [01:18.34]他們高效拆除帳篷的事情 [01:21.46]was cited respectfully in the civilian newspaper the following day. [01:24.74]第二天的民間報紙表揚了字里行間充滿敬意. [01:28.02]This paper had a large circulation and the circus freaks were thankful [01:31.10]這份報紙的發(fā)行量很大，馬戲愛好者們對此心存感激。 [01:34.19]Other towns were sure to know they were in the area because of it. [01:36.82]由此，其他城鎮(zhèn)的居民肯定知道他們在這個地方。 [01:39.46]They had hoped the article in the paper would also clarify [01:42.09]他們希望報道同時會清楚地告訴人們 [01:44.71]which towns they would be visiting next. [01:46.79]他們接著要去哪個城鎮(zhèn)表演。 [01:48.87]But it was a chronic problem [01:50.70]這是個長期存在的問題 [01:52.52]that they could not always get the full press that they desired. [01:55.31]但這一愿望常常得不到實現(xiàn). [01:58.09]They were nevertheless civiland accepted whatever promotion they could get. [02:01.17]不過他們很通情達理，能得到什么樣的宣傳，他們就接受什么樣的宣傳。 [02:04.25]It was thecircumstances of civilization that had made them what they were, [02:07.53]正是文明環(huán)境塑造了他們， [02:10.81]but they were not going to turn their backs cause problems. [02:14.09]而他們不想背信棄義制造麻煩。 [02:17.37]They were just glad to have a home,a clan that was like a big family, [02:20.49]他們就是樂意有個家，有一個像大家庭一樣的部落， [02:23.61]and jobs where they could be themselves and make a living. [02:25.95]同時還有工作，這樣他們不僅可以活得自在,而且還能養(yǎng)活自己。 [02:28.29]clarity-coachAfter the exam"Oh that was awesome!

[03:35.64]你只不過是典型的考前恐慌而已。 [03:38.37]Working with clay dummies always helped me [03:40.55]把黏土做成的假人當真人來準備考試對我很有幫助， [03:42.73]and I thought it might help you. [03:44.47]所以我想對你也應該有所幫助。 [03:46.21]I'm glad also that you climaxed with your preparation right before the test. [03:49.49]真高興使你達到了最佳狀態(tài)考試前的準備 [03:52.77]In the future,just remember that your clients will be real, [03:55.69]將來你一定要記住你的病人是真人 [03:58.62]not made of clay." [04:00.21]而不是黏土做的假人。 [04:01.80]"Hey."Said Mary as she grabbed Jack's arm." [04:04.13]“嗨，”瑪麗抓住杰克的胳膊說， [04:06.45]"I also imagined hearing classical music in my head like you recommended" [04:09.69]我還像你建議的那樣想像自己在聽古典音樂， [04:12.93]That really put me at peace.

Jack replied as Mary slipped her arm in his" [04:51.44]““好啊?！苯芸舜鸬馈，旣惽那耐炱鹚氖直?，” [04:54.62]and they walked happily out of the hospital's side entrance.

[05:14.86]我討厭提這事，可那實在是個巨大的失敗。 [05:17.38]"Said Mr.Wells after he had collected all of the surveys he had passed out. [05:20.81]威爾士先生把所有發(fā)出去的調查表收上來之后說道， [05:24.25]"I thought there would be coherent arguments against coeducation," [05:27.93]我原以為大家對男女同校會一致持反對意見 [05:31.61]as well as a clear majority to keep things the way they are already. [05:34.43]絕大多數(shù)人會贊成保持現(xiàn)狀. [05:37.26]But all of the students and colleagues [05:39.24]所有的學生和同事 [05:41.23]in our very cognitive university setting [05:43.59]在我們這個認識能力很強的大學環(huán)境里 [05:45.95]seem to think that we should change ourschool code to allow a coed university. [05:49.44]似乎都認為應該改變學校道德標準，允許它變成一所男女同校的大學。威爾士先生， [05:52.93]Some even want coed dormitories. [05:55.66]有人甚至還想把宿舍也變成男女混住。 [05:58.39]That won' t happen over my dead body! [06:00.61]我死也不會同意他們這么做！ [06:02.83]Do you think there is any way that we can coerce them otherwise?" [06:05.86]你認為我們有什么辦法強迫他們不那樣嗎？ [06:08.89]""Well,let's first collate the surveys to see what the exact numbers are. [06:12.47]""好，我們先核對一下調查結果，看看具體的數(shù)字是什么。 [06:16.05]"Said Mr.KacKenzie in response. [06:18.08]麥肯錫先生回答道， [06:20.12]"Okay,I've collapsed the results into three categories." [06:22.85]好啦，我已經把調查結果分成三大類。 [06:25.58]It's no coincidence the majority favors this coarse changein policy [06:33.24]just as you said. [06:34.71]都如你所說大部分人同意對政策做粗俗的改變，這不是巧合。 [06:36.19]Well Mr.Wells, [06:37.87]威爾士先生， [06:39.56]I guess that there was really no need for us to collabora-te on this issue. [06:42.43]我看咱們沒必要在這個問題上合作了。 [06:45.30]We have failed. We coined several good slogans. [06:48.44]咱們輸了。我們杜撰了幾句不錯的口號， [06:51.57]Several collocations were brilliant. [06:53.64]有些搭配相當精彩， [06:55.70]And the coherence of our arguments was sound. [06:58.64]論點也條理清楚。 [07:01.58]But we have just collided with reality! [07:03.96]可是我們的做法就是和現(xiàn)實發(fā)生了沖突！ [07:06.33]They want a coed university!" [07:08.25]他們想要一所男女同校的大學！” [07:10.17]"Okay.I admit defeat." Sighed Mr.Wells." [07:12.71]好吧，我承認失敗了。"威爾士先生直嘆氣， [07:15.24]"Let's take this collection of surveys to the library." [07:17.57]“我們把這批收集到的調查表拿到圖書館去吧?！? [07:19.89]Oh,watch out!We just avoided a major collision with that biker. [07:23.13]啊，小心!剛才我們差點兒和那個騎自行車的撞了個正著。 [07:26.37]Ah well, maybe students will remember some of our coinages later in life." [07:29.65]嗯，學生們也許以后會記住一些我們創(chuàng)造的新詞?！? [07:32.93]"Yes,but they'll probably remember and laugh." [07:35.90]“是啊，不過他們可能會記住并笑話我們?！? [07:38.88]We're in for a lot of change,Mr.Wells, lot of change !" [07:41.61]我們肯定會有翻天覆地的變化，威爾士先生，翻天覆地的變化！” [07:44.34]column-comparable The commercial life [07:55.26]Well folks,commerce for the day has commenced [07:58.19]商業(yè)生活“各位，今天的商業(yè)節(jié)目現(xiàn)在開始，” [08:01.11]and I am sure we are in for a great day of commodity trading.

[08:14.89]火車站和汽車上排著長隊。 [08:17.02]It is a wonder that the comedy of this life escape us. [08:19.80]真不敢相信，這種生活的喜劇居然沒有引起我們的注意， [08:22.58]But it would take a comet striking the earth" [08:24.71]那得要有彗星撞地球那樣的事情發(fā)生 [08:26.84]to shake us from our comic and absurd ways. [08:29.02]要想讓我們擺脫滑稽而荒唐的生活方式. [08:31.20]At he commentatorcontinued his running commentary about the day's events, [08:34.54]在新聞評論員繼續(xù)滔滔不絕地對當天發(fā)生的事件進行評論的時候， [08:37.87]Beth and Lisa simply frowned. [08:39.90]貝思和麗莎只是皺著眉頭。 [08:41.94]"I hate that guy." Said Beth." [08:44.00]“我討厭那個家伙。”貝思說“ [08:46.07]He's always so smug as he commits thought into our heads" [08:48.80]他總是將他的觀點強加給我們，這時他還總是那么自鳴得意 [08:51.53]whether we like them or not. [08:53.27]不管我們喜歡不喜歡. [08:55.00]"I have even heard that he gets a bigger commission whenever people complain. [08:57.89]我甚至聽說,只要有人投訴.他拿的傭金就更多. [09:00.78]It's like there is this committee out there trying to remind us about [09:03.40]好像有那么個委員會在那兒試圖提醒我們 [09:06.03]the combustibility of our commercial life style. [09:08.46]商業(yè)生活方式的易激動性。 [09:10.88]I know it' s not natural:living in steel buildings, [09:14.02]知道這種生活方式不自然：住在鋼鐵建筑中， [09:17.15]wearing the same suits, driving the same cars day after day. [09:20.08]穿同樣的衣服、日復一日開同樣的汽車。 [09:23.01]But is no comparable alternative. [09:25.54]可是我們沒有類似的其他選擇。 [09:28.07]I don't want to go back to living in some cave. [09:30.70]我可不想回去住在某個洞里。 [09:33.32]You can commemorate at my grave if anyone ever forces me to do that! [09:36.81]要是有人硬逼我這樣，你就到我的墳前紀念我吧。 [09:40.30]""Yeah,but his commitment and telling the truth are honorable!" [09:43.08]“你說得對，但是他的全心投入和實話實說是值得尊敬的！” [09:45.86]I like his command of the English language: [09:48.24]我喜歡他的英語運用能力： [09:50.62]He speaks so well! I mean think of it! He's right; [09:53.49]他說得真棒!我是說，想想吧!他是對的， [09:56.36]everything we do is about surviving in the economic structure [10:01.93]that has been forced on us. [10:03.56]我們做的每件事都是在強加給我們的經濟結構中求生存。 [10:05.19]I bet if we combined all of the money traded here in one day, [10:08.12]我敢打賭，如果把這里一天的交易額合起來， [10:11.04]we could cure cancer and do away with poverty!" Responded Lisa. [10:14.18]我們就能治愈癌癥和消滅貧困！”麗莎回答說。 [10:17.31]"Lisa!I never knew you!"

[13:25.94]這部作品比我能夠想像的創(chuàng)作要復雜得多。 [13:30.72]"Said the composer to the newspaper journalist. [13:33.30]作曲家對報社記者說， [13:35.87]"You see,the song is comprised of a variety of separate elements" [13:39.25]“你看，這首歌由多種不同的元素組成，” [13:42.64]that are concealed within the song. [13:44.71]而且這些元素都隱藏在歌曲中。 [13:46.79]I concede that they may be hard to detect in the beginning, [13:49.87]我承認，人們開始可能很難察覺， [13:52.96]but like a concave bowl, [13:54.89]然而它們就像一只凹形的碗一樣， [13:56.82]with everything gathered together in the middle [13:58.90]所有的東西都集中在中間， [14:00.97]that you can only understand when you come out. [14:03.30]你只有出來的時候才能了解。 [14:05.62]You understand in the end as they are compounded in such a manner [14:08.76]你最終會了解到所有東西混合在一起， [14:11.89]so that they compliment each other in a beautiful [14:14.22]相互映襯，構成一首優(yōu)美 [14:16.54]and compulsory finale." [14:18.42]而必須有的終曲。” [14:20.31]"Yes,I have heard your explanation before, Maestro." [14:23.34]"是的，大師，我以前聽過你的解釋。" [14:26.37]Responded the journalist in a kind manner, [14:28.56]記者友善地回答道， [14:30.75]"And we honor your reputation greatly." [14:33.12]我們很尊重您的名聲。 [14:35.48]But others just can not comprehend this piece of music that you have written! [14:38.42]可是別人就是沒法理解您寫的這首曲子。 [14:41.36]They say that you have compresseda mix of components from other well-known songs. [14:45.15]他們說，您不過是把其他名曲中的組成部分拿過來壓縮到了您的作品中。 [14:48.94]For them it is not conceivable that there is any order, form or pattern. [14:52.32]他們想像不出您這首曲子有任何規(guī)律、模式或者風格， [14:55.70]They say that you have compromsed the art form [14:57.83]他們認為您損害了藝術形式， [14:59.96]and that there should be some compulsion for you [15:02.09]應該采取些強制措施 [15:04.22]to comply with demands [15:05.80]讓您遵從人們的要求， [15:07.38]for your withdrawal of this song from the public arena!" [15:09.81]從公共場合把您的這首曲子撤出去!" [15:12.24]There may be some compression present. I agree."Defended the composer." [15:16.26]作品中或許存在壓縮成分，我同意這種說法。"作曲家辯解道， [15:20.28]But it as beyond my comrehension" [15:22.41]可我不理解 [15:24.54]why I should remove this piece of art from the public's ear!" [15:27.07]為什么我不能讓公眾聽這首曲子。" [15:29.61]"Well Maestro,it's the public that is having the problem with your song! " [15:32.78]大師，是觀眾覺得您的曲子有問題! [15:35.96]No one likes it. No one understands it ! [15:38.33]沒人喜歡它，沒人聽得懂， [15:40.71]So no one wants to listen to it !" [15:42.59]所以沒人愿意聽!" [15:44.47]concentrate-confer Too curious [15:49.46]過于好奇 [15:54.45]Before the conclusion of the concert, [15:57.62]音樂會結束之前， [16:00.80]Marianne slipped to the Concession Stand for an ice cream cone. [16:03.74]瑪麗安溜到商攤去買蛋卷冰激凌。 [16:06.68]When she was there she overheard two men conferring together [16:10.10]在那兒，她無意中聽到兩個男人在談話， [16:13.52]about their lack of confidence in arresting someone [16:16.04]他們要逮捕某個人，但他們對完成此事沒有信心 [16:18.56]at the end of the performance. [16:20.09]在演出結束前. [16:21.62]Marianne concentrated more [16:24.56]瑪麗安更加集中注意力， [16:27.50]to see if she could understand their words. [16:29.68]看能不能聽懂他們所講的話。 [16:31.86]It was none of her concern, of course, [16:34.09]當然這件事與她沒關系， [16:36.32]but this type of conduct was typical for Marianne. [16:38.95]但瑪麗安經常會有偷聽這種行為。 [16:41.58]The name of the person that was conferred uponwas too much for her to bear, however, [16:45.61]然而，瑪麗安實在難以忍受他們在交談中提到的那個人的名字， [16:49.65]and she had to confess to herself [16:51.78]她得向自己承認， [16:53.91]that this was something she really shouldn't know. [16:56.13]她真不該知道這件事。 [16:58.35]As she walked back to her chair [17:00.78]她一邊走回座位， [17:03.20]she was condemning herself already for being so curious. [17:05.78]一邊已經在譴責自己不該如此好奇。 [17:08.35]Condemnation never worked with Marianne, unfortunately, [17:12.33]不幸的是，自我譴責對瑪麗安來說從來就不管用， [17:16.32]and she suddenly had the conception to warn the individual. [17:19.10]她突然動了要給那個人報警的念頭。 [17:21.88]She could not condone his arrest; [17:24.21]她無法容忍他被捕這件事， [17:26.53]he was too nice of a friend and a good neighbor. [17:28.91]因為他是一個那么好的朋友，而且還是位好鄰居。 [17:31.29]She stood again and, [17:32.97]她再次站起來， [17:34.66]planning to speak condolencesfor the death of the son this man had recently lost, [17:37.88]準備對這個人剛剛痛失愛子表示慰問。 [17:41.11]she stepped across the concrete stairway that separated her [17:46.70]from the man who would soon be arrested. [17:48.76]她越過把她和那個不久就會被逮捕的男人隔開的混凝土樓梯， [17:50.83]This walkway was not conducive to Marianne's shoes, however, [17:53.66]但這種走道不利于瑪麗安的鞋子， [17:56.49]and she tripped and fell. [17:58.11]她絆了一下，跌倒了。 [17:59.73]She tried to grab a hand to stop her, [18:02.32]她試圖抓住一只手不讓自己跌倒， [18:04.91]but she only succeeded in pulling a cup of coffee [18:07.34]結果只碰到一杯咖啡 [18:09.76]with too much condensed milk across her new dress. [18:12.29]加了太多濃縮牛奶的咖啡，把它全潑在她的新裙子上， [18:14.81]And then she passed out. [18:16.43]然后她就失去了知覺。 [18:18.05]when Marianne awoke she had no concept of where she was. [18:20.88]瑪麗安醒來時，她對自己身在何處一點兒概念也沒有。 [18:23.71]Eventually she rose to see that everyone was gone [18:26.68]最后，她站了起來，結果發(fā)現(xiàn)大家都走了 [18:29.64]and only one kind gentleman was left to help her. [18:32.07]只有一個好心的先生留下來幫她。 [18:34.50]She frowned when she realized that her effort to help that man had failed. [18:37.78]意識到幫助那個男人的努力已經落空時，她皺起了眉頭。 [18:41.06]He had been arrested for sure! [18:42.89]他肯定已經被抓住了!

[19:04.22]出來與那些資源保護的敵人對抗。 [19:06.71]But when he had two consecutive successful meetings [19:09.59]可是，在他連續(xù)兩次成功會晤 [19:12.46]with confident businessmen it was the consensus of his organization [19:15.74]自信的商人之后，大家就達成了一個共識， [19:19.02]that he confront the large oil company president [19:21.29]讓他去面對大型石油公司總裁 [19:23.56]scheduled to come to town the next week. [19:25.60]計劃下周要來的. [19:27.64]The configuration for his plan [19:29.52]巴里的計劃是這樣一個布局： [19:31.40]was to first ask to have a confidential meeting [19:33.88]首先要求在一個限定地點 [19:36.36]with the man in a confined location. [19:38.35]與總裁進行秘密會談。 [19:40.33]If this did not work [19:42.46]如果這樣不行， [19:44.59]he would ask the man to consent to meeting in a public forum [19:47.41]他會要求對方同意到一個公共場所見面， [19:50.23]where he would feel safe from aggressive questioning. [19:52.46]在那兒他就不會受到攻擊性盤問。 [19:54.70]If the man would not conform, [19:57.02]如果總裁還是不遵照這個意思, [19:59.35]Barry would accept the consequences [20:01.69]巴里也會接受這樣的結果， [20:04.02]and address the man there when he met him. [20:06.15]就在見面的地方跟他說話。 [20:08.28]There was certain to be conflict with this option, [20:10.62]這種選擇肯定會引起沖突， [20:12.96]but Barry would talk to the man in as conscientious of a fashion as possible. [20:16.22]但是巴里會盡可能用一種真誠的方式和他交談。 [20:19.49]He simply needed to be confronted. [20:21.47]他就是需要有人跟他對抗。 [20:23.46]When the time came for Barry to approac-h the president of the oil company,however, [20:27.18]可是等到巴里要去接近石油公司總裁的時候， [20:30.90]several of the businessman's bodyguards connected the signals [20:33.69]這位商人的幾位保鏢聯(lián)系了種種信號， [20:36.47]and saw that Barry might be a problem. [20:38.51]看出巴里可能會制造麻煩。 [20:40.54]They confirmed with each other in their headphones [20:42.83]他們通過耳機互相確認之后， [20:45.11]and moved the businessman to a congruent location. [20:47.64]把總裁帶到了一個合適的地點。 [20:50.16]Barry never had a chance. [20:51.89]巴里一直沒有與他見面的機會。 [20:53.63]Afterwards Barry knew that no congratulations would be given to him [20:56.60]后來，巴里了解到，給他的祝賀也泡湯了 [20:59.56]in conjunction with this failed event. [21:01.60]受這次失敗的牽連. [21:03.64]As he fell out of consciousness and into sleep that evening in his bed, [21:06.57]那晚躺在床上失去知覺、昏昏欲睡的時候， [21:09.51]however, Barry was relieved that nothing bad had happened. [21:12.24]不過，巴里如釋重負，因為畢竟沒有不好的事情發(fā)生。 [21:14.97]He had been brave and consequent to the conservation movement. [21:17.85]他一直很勇敢而且與資源保護運動邏輯上是一致的， [21:20.72]And there would always be a next time. [21:22.90]總是會有下一次機會的。
