句子释义
1
、
This
classification
between
material
and
spiritual
pleasures
is
therefore
confusing
,
unintelligible and untrue for me .
A: I find the ideas of classifying
pleasures as material for and spiritual unclear,
unexplainable and
unfactual.
2
、
Such an end or
purpose of life , consisting in its true enjoyment
, is not so much a conscious
purpose ,
as a natural attitude toward human life.
A:
Such
an
end
or
purpose
of
life,
represented
in
its
true
enjoyment,
suggests
less
a
conscious
endeavor-endeavor to achieve than a
free attitude

问答
1
、
What is the
author
’
s opinion about the
two classes of enjoyment ? How do you justify
that?
They are material and spiritual.
This classification between material
and spiritual pleasures is therefore
confusing, unintelligible
and untrue for me. It proceeds, I
suspect, from a false philosophy, sharply dividing
the spirit from
the flesh, and not
supported by a closer direct scrutiny of our real
pleasures.
2
、
How
should we form a view of the universe in right way
?
If we must have a view of the
universe, let us forget ourselves and not confine
it to human life.
Let
’
s stretch it
a little and include in our view the purpose of
the entire creation-the rocks, the trees
and the animals. It is enough that he
has a place, and by living in harmony with nature
around hin,
he will be able to from a
workable and reasonable outlook on human life
itself.
3
、
Why
does the author conceive the purpose of human life
as a practical question instead of a
metaphysical one?
I have
always assumed that the end of living is the true
enjoyment of it. Such an end or purpose of
life,
consisting
in
its
true
enjoyment,
is
not
so
much
a
conscious
purpose
as
a
natural
attitude
toward human life.
As far as the second question is
concerned, the point of dispute is not what is,
but what should be,
the purpose of
human life, and it is therefore a practical, and
not a metaphysical question.

句子释义
1
、
Any teaching of
the poem by any other method owes the poem an
apology.
A: It is wrong to teach poetry
in any way other than to teach students how to
experience poetry.
2
、
He is giving it
the Wigglesworth treatment.
A: The
reader who only looks for important messages in a
poem is treating the poem as doggerel,
blind to what is poetic in poetry.
3
、
Anything more
than the truth would have seemed too weak.
A: Exaggeration or overstatement would
weaken the poetic effect.
4
、
He wrote them
because, for the fun of it, he had got himself
into trouble.
A: Those lines in the
poem were the result of the
poet
’
s interest in a
complicated rhyme scheme
which proved
to be very different. To find enough rhyming words
in English, the poet settled for
those
lines because he felt good enough about them.
5

freedom of movement with

Why
Americans should be taught poetry?
Poetry has only a remote place in the
grass of our culture. America is a modern country
with short
history.

Why compare
John Milton
’
s Paradise and
The Day of Doom? Similarities and differences
Wigglesworth
’

theology is every bit as sound and as
comprehensive as Milton
’
s.
Paradise Lost is, in one sense, a
rhymed sermon written to justify
God

simply
“
something to

. Nor is it simply an
elaborate way of
saying something or
nothing.

5

skillful

6
、
Why is the
essay entitled
―
How Does a
Poem Mean?
‖
instead of
―
What Does a Poem
Mean?
‖
You will
observe one further point: that the human-insight
of the poem, and the technicalities of
the poetic devices are inseparable.
Each feeds the other. This interplay is the
poem
’
s meaning, a
matter not of WHAT IT MEANS (nobody can
say entirely what a good poem means ) but HOW
IT MEANS
—
a
process one can come much closer to discussing.

As the Milanese
citizen becomes an encyclopedia of opera

句子释义
1
、
To be
officially free is by no means the same as being
actually and psychologically free.
A:
Although it is already recognized by the law that
there should not remain racial discrimination,
yet it does exist because the reality
and social climate help to cultivate it.
2
、
Our
business and governments are staffed quite largely
by people whose aptitude for the work
consists solely of their being what is,
by tradition, the right sex for it.
A:
Our business and government are mainly equipped
with those who are employed, not because
they are fit for the job, but simply
because they are men.
3
、
That is the
climate which the human animal cannot tolerate.
A: Under the social pressure, the fear
of being not attractive to the opposite sex is
intolerable to
human beings.
4
、
So
long as women remain persuaded it would be
unnatural of them to want it.
A: If
only women are still convinced that it was
abnormal for them to want the equal treatment.
5
、
We
are betraying civilization itself if we do not set
both sexes free to make a free choice.
A:
So
long
as
both
sexes
cannot
make
their
free
choices
according
to
their
own
mind,
we
are
going away
from civilization.

、
In contrast
with caged animals, do women have anything
different in the same imprisonment
condition?
Barrier is
invisible.
2
、
What is the
author
’
s attitude toward the
comforting voices?
This is an argument
without a flaw: except that it is addressed
exclusively to women. Address it to
both sexes and instantly it becomes
progressive and humane. As it stands, it is merely
anti-woman
prejudice revamped.
3
、
In
the
opinion,
what
is
the
real
connotation
of
―<
/p>
intuition
‖
and
―

‖
in
a
man-centered
society?
―
Intuition

for bad art.
4
、
Why would a man
sentenced to prison probably feel this punishment
redoubled if a woman
judge sentenced
him under a law drafted by a woman legislator?
What is the root cause of such a
reaction?
Because
women
’
s social status is
inferior. Sex discrimination.
翻译

、
Viewing
the
true
sate
of
women
in
modern
society
from
a
fresh
angle,
the
author
tries
to
convince
us that the true emancipation of women means that
someday, men and women will make
a free
choice to say home or go to work without being
affected by the social climate.
T:
从一个全新的角度来看妇女在现代社会中的真实地位，
作者尽力使我们信
服这样的观点：
真正的解放意味着在某一天，
女性和男性一样将
有自由选择是呆在家里还是西湖区工作的权
利。这种权利将不再会受到社会的影响。
2

There are no
laws and very little discrimination to prevent
western, industrialized women from

If

is the result either of their own free choice or
of something inherent in
female nature?
T:
几乎没有相关法律和决议阻挠西方工业社会的妇女进行投
票，为她们进入工作领域进行
投票。
如果仍然有相对较少的女律
师和女工程师，
更不用说美国女总统了，
除了说这既是她
们自己民主的选择又是她们天生与生俱来的事情外还能得出什么结论呢？
3
、
A
society

ours

—
should

that
―
persuasion,

artificially inducing inhibitions, is
every bit as effective as force of law.
T:

当知道
“说服力”
创造神话和假惺惺的制造禁令的艺术，就像法

4
、
Modern society,
like the modern zoo, has contrived to get rid of
the bars without altering the
fact of
imprisonment.
T:
现代社会，就如同是现代
的动物园，设法摆脱栅栏而没有改变监禁的现在。
5
、
This is an
argument without a flaw: except that it is
addressed exclusively to women. Address it
to
both
sexes
and

progressive
and
humane.
As
it
stands,

T:
这是一种无可挑剔的观点：除非它是专门针对女性的。如果它是针对两性的，那么它就
是进步的和仁慈的。而现在它坚持的，只是一种修正过的妇女偏见。
6
、
All
the home-making talent which happens to be born
inside male bodies is wasted; and our

7

So
brilliantly has society contrived to terrorize
women with this threat that certain behavior is
unnatural

that
it

、
Not only are
the distinctions we draw between male nature and
female nature largely arbitrary
and
often pure superstition: they are completely
beside the point.
T:
我们得出的男性
和女性之间的差别不仅是随意的而且也是纯粹的迷信：它们完全不在这
点上。
9
、
Logic and art
are not natural or instinctive activities; but our
nature includes a propensity to
acquire
them..
T:
逻辑学和艺术不是自然的而是本能的行为
；
但是我们的天性中包括一种获得它们的倾向。
10
、
If
modern civilization has invented methods education
which make it possible for men to feed
babies and for women to think
logically, we are betraying civilization itself if
we do not set both
sexes free to make a
free choice.
T:
如果现代的文明已经发现了
使男性照看小孩使女性做出自由的选择的话，那我们就还没
有达到真正的文明。
11
、
The pressure
society exerts to drive men out of the house is
very nearly as irrational and unjust
as
those by which it keeps women in. The mistake of
the early reformers was to assume that men
were emancipated already and that
therefore reform need ask only for the
emancipation of women.
What we ought to
do now is go right back to scratch and demand the
emancipation of both sexes.
It is only
because men are not free themselves that they have
found it necessary to cheat women
by
the deception which makes them appear free when
they are not.
T:
社会压力迫使男性走出家
庭就如同它将妇女束缚在家里一样的不合理、不公平。早期改
革的错误就在于一开始假定
男性已经得到解放，
因而改革必须还做到妇女的解放。
现在我们
应该做的就是联合起来请求男女都得到解放。
这仅仅是因为男性
觉得他们还不够自由，
所以，
他们就通过骗局来欺骗那些还没得
到自由但是看起来似乎是得到自由的妇女们。
