EXERCISES 15
Ⅰ
.
Give brief
answers to
the
following
questions,
using
your
ownwords
as much as possible:
1) What pleasure does Edmund Carr get by observing Laura without
her knowing it? What compliment does he pay her?
2) Does Carr appreciate natural beauty? Was he always like that?
3) What effect does the moon and the cool water of the swimming
pool have on him?
4) What kind of coastline does he like? Why?
5) Who is in charge of the lighthouse? Does he like his job?
6) Why does Edmund Carr like islands?
7) Why does he say:
sin?
8) What is the 'green flash'?
Ⅱ
. Paraphrase:
1) The Colonel, who is not too offensively an Empire builder,
sometimes tries to talk to me about public affairs
2) Or maybe Laura's unwitting influence has called it out.
3)
Dismissive
as a Pharisee,
I
regarded
as moonlings
all
those
whose
life was lived on a less practical plane.
4) And now see how I stand, as sentimental and sensitive as any
old maid doing water-colours of sunsets!
5) I want my fill of beauty before I go.
6) Thus, I imagine, must the pious feel cleansed on leaving the
confessional after the solemnity of absolution.
7) there is a touch of rough poetry about him
8)
I
like
also
the
out-of-the-way
information
which he imparts
from
time to time without insistence
9) I suspect also that there is quite a lot of lore stored away
in the Colonel's otherwise not very interesting mind.
10) This is the new Edmund Carr with a vengeance.
Ⅲ
.Translate
the following into Chinese:
1)
What I
like
best
are
the
stern
cliffs,
with
ranges
of
mountains
soaring behind them, full of possibilities, peaks to be scaled only
by the
most daring.
What plants
of
the
high
alti
tudes
grow unravished
among their crags and valleys? So do I let my imagination play over the recesses of Laura's character, so austere in
the foreground but
nurturing what treasures of tenderness, like delicate flowers, for
the discovery of the venturesome.
2)
In
all
this
serenity
of
ocean it
is
seldom that
we espy
so much
as another ship; the jolly dolphins and the scratchy little
flying-fish
have the
vast
circle
all
to
themselves,
'the
Flying
Fish,
who has a part with the birds, ' and doubtless are glad to see the
last of the monster which bears us into and out of sight. Our wake
closes up and we might never have been. But it does happen from time
to
time
that
an island
appears
on the
horizon,
nameless to
us and full
of mystery, the peak of a submarine mountain range , lonely,
unblemished,
re
mote.
Does one like
islands
because one unconsciously
appropriates
them,
a small
manageable domain in
a large
unmanageable
world? I cannot tell why it should give me suck a queer sensation to
reflect that that island has always been there (unless indeed it be
no more than the work of the patient coral) and will be there still, should I return to find it waiting
for me.
