Paraphrase

1.1

For

twenty

minutes,the

terminal

area

was

aswarm

with

activity

as

cars

and

lorries

poured

forth

,customs

people

did

their duties,and everyone

made for

the London road.

P:

The ferry port was busy with activities for twenty minutes.A lot of

cars and lorries went in continuous stream out of the port,customs

officers

were

busy

doing

their

duties,and

everybody

was

moving

towards the London road.

1.2

I

was

socially

and

sartorially

ill-suited

for

such

an

establishment

and

anyway

it

was

clearly

beyond

my

meager

budget.

P:

The Churchill is such a luxurious hotel that it is only suitable for

those

rich

people

who

are

socially

respectable

and

well

me,a

poor

man

not

well

dressed,it

is

definitely

not

s I did not have much money to spend and could not

afford it any way.

1.3

Further

along

Marine

Parade

stood

a

shelter,

open

to

the

elements but roofed

,and I decided that this was as good as I

was going to get.

P:

In the distance on the Marine Parade I found a structure with a

roof although it was exposed to natural forces.I decided that it could

serve

my

purpose

and

would

be

as

good

as

a

room

in

a

guesthouse.

1.4

The

bench

was

slatted

and

hard

and

studded

with

big

roundheaded

bolts

that

made

reclining

in

comfort

an

impossibility

-doubtless their intention.

P:

The bench was made of thin pieces of wood and thus very hard

to

sleep

s

it

was

decorated

with

big

roundheaded

ore

it

was

impossible

to

lie

on

it

in

a

comfortable

is no doubt that the bench was designed in this way on

purpose.

1.5

Afterwards,feeling

a

new

man,I

emerged with

a

toothpick

and

a

burp,and

sauntered

happily

through

the

streets,watching Dover

come to life

.It must be said that Dover

was

not vastly improved by daylight

,but I likes it.

P:

After

the

breakfast I felt

like

a

new

man

and

walked

out

of

the

cafe with a toothpick in my mouth and burped.I wandered on the

street leisurely and happily,seeing Dover become more lively.I had

to admit that Dover did not become a more attractive town during

the daytime but anyway I liked it.

2.1

Never mind

the popular palaver about marriage as a source

of

bliss

for

the

couple,security

for

the

kids

and

societal

stability.

P:

You

don’t

need

to

worry

about

what

others

say

about

marriage,for

example,a

large

number

of

people

say

that

married

people

can

be

very

happy,their

children

can

be

protected

and

society

can

be

stable

if

more

people

get

this

is

just

nonsense

if

the

practical

aspect

of

marriage

is

not

taken

into

account.

2.2

Marriage

is

criticized

as

a

source

of

stress(and

it

is),conflict(that

to)and

endless

crises

that

need

to

be

resolved(

guilty there as well

).

P:

There

are

also

negative

opinions

on

marriage,for

example,marriage

can

cause

stress,conflict

and

these

criticisms are correct and you have to solve these marriage-related

problems.

2.3

Depression

and

other

emotional

ills

are

less

likely

to

go

undiagnosed

if

there’s

someone

at

home

who’s

mindful

of

your moods and notices if they darken.

P:

After getting married,your spouse will be careful of your feelings

and

sensitive

to

the

changes

in

your

you

have

any

symptom

of

depression

or

other

emotional

ills,your

spouse

will

notice it immediately.

2.4

The

daily

stresses

of

the

modern

world

can

throw

our

bodies into

emergency mode

and keep us takes a

toll through high blood pressure,tension headaches and a lot

of

gnawed pencils.

P:

In

our

daily

work

today,we

have

to

cope

with

stress

frequently

and our bodies are often put into situations which need immediate

action to

deal

with difficult

and

dangerous

has

a bad

effect

on

our

bodies

and

may

cause

a

lot

of

damage

to

our

health,such

as

high

blood

pressure,tension

headaches

and

other

sufferings which make you feel worried and uncomfortable.

2.5 While married men get relief from their workday

barrage of

stress

hormones

when

they

come

home

after

a

particularly

busy

day

at

work,working

women

are

able

to

de-stress

similarly only if they describe their marriage as a happy one.

P:

2.6 Those tales of spouses who die within days of each other

have more than a little truth to

them.

P:

2.7

Certainly

not

all

suddenly

single

spouses

are

fated

to

languish this way

—

no more than all people who never pair off

are destined for

a shortened life filled with illness and stress.

P:

2.8

Still,it’s

hard

t

o

argue

with

an

institution

that

keeps

a

companion

and

caretaker

constantly

nearby,even

if

now

and

again

—

when a wet towel has once again been dropped on the

floor or a tube of toothpaste has been squeezed all wrong

—

we

may

lose light of

that happy fact.

P:

4.1 But to their surprise,many people find that

enduring

such a

harrowing ordeal

ultimately

changes them for the better

.

P

：

People

feel

surprised

that

they

finally

have

become

better

persons after undergoing such severely distressful experience.

4.2

We

love

to

hear

the

stories

of

people

who

have

been

transformed

by their tribulations,perhaps because they

testify

to

a

bona

fide

psychological

truth

,one

that

sometimes

gets

lost amid endless reports of disaster:There is a

built-in human

capacity to flourish

under the most difficult circumstances.

P:

We

like to

hear stories

of

how

serious

trouble

might competely

change people,because these stories really prove a psychological

truth

that

is

often

neglected

by

people

when

facing

a

disaster,i, beings have an inborn quality that can be fully

displayed only in the most difficult situation.

4.3

She

never

anticipated

what

would

happen:

a

withdrawal

reaction

that

eventually

left

her

in

total

body

agony

and

neurological meltdown.

P:

She never expected that stopping medication could finally lead to

severe physical pains and neurological problems.

4.4 But this time,she was

way past her limits

,and nothing her

doctors did seemed to help.

P:

But

this

time

it

was

more

than

she

could

bear,and

all

that

the

doctors did ended in vain.

4.5

She

was

still

in

agony,but

a

new

consciousness

grew

stronger each night:

an awesome sense of liberation

,combined

with

an

all- encompassing

feeling

of

sympathy

and

compassion.”I

felt

stripped

of

everything

I’d

ever

identified

myself with,

”she said six

mothers later.

P:

She

was

still

suffering

from

the

severe

pain,but

she

began

to

have

a

new

feeling

about

life

which

was

becoming

increasingly

stronger

each

day:an

amazing

feeling

of

freedom

from

pain,together

with

tolerance

and

sympathy.”I

felt

that

everyt

hing

I

used to define muself is deprived now.”She said six mouths later.

4.6 In that moment,our

sense of invulnerability is pierced

,and

the

self-protective mental armor

that normally stands between

us and our perceptions of the world is

torn away.

P:

At that moment,we realize we are weak and vulnerable,and the

spiritual power that we possess as a means of self-protection when

we are looking at this world is taken away.

4.7

They

cycle

through

the

same

sequence

of

sensations

as

do

trauma

survivors:self-loss,confusion

and,finally,a

new

sense of mastery.

P:

They go through the same course of feeling like those who have

experience the emotional shock:feeling at a loss,and finally,gaining

the new power.

5.1

They

have

to

be

heroic

violations

of

the

norms

and

practices

that

now

govern

moviemaking

everywhere

in

the

world.

P:

In order to maintain the high artistic level,good films must openly

go

against

the

Hollywood

system

that

dominates

the

production

and distribution of films around the world.

5.2

Cinema,once

heralded

as

the

art

of

the

twentieth

century,seems now,as the century closes,to be a decadent art.

P:

The appearance of films at the beginning of the twentieth century

was once regarded as a promising new art,however,at the end of

century,films seem to fall to a lower and worse level.

5.3 To be

kidnapped

,you have to be in a movie theater,seated

in the dark among

anonymous

strangers.

P:

For a person to become overwhelmed by the power of films,he or

she has to be physically present in a movie theater,surrounded by

unknown people.

5.4 With the coming of sound,the image-making lost much of

its brilliance and poetry,and commercial standards

tightened

.

P:

After the apperance of sound,the artistic level and poetic beauty

of

films

ile

the

Hollywood

system

that

governs

filmmaking industry became more strict.

5.5 Now the balance has

tipped

decisively in favor of cinema

as an industry.

P:

In the century-long conflict between cinema as an art and cinema

as

an

industry,the

current

development

of

filmmaking

has

unquestionably favored the latter.

5.6

The

catastrophic

rise

in

production

costs

in

the

1980s

secured

the worldwide

reimposition

of

industry

standards

of

making

and

distributing

films

on

a

far

more

coercive

and

global scale.

P:

The

disadtrous

rise

in

production

costs

helped

to

spread

and

reinforce

the

commercial

standards

of

moviemaking

around

the

world.

5.7

If

cinema

can

be

resurrected

,it

will

only

be

through

the

birth of a new kind of cine-love.

P:

The only way to revive the golden age of cinema is by cultivating

a new kind of love of cinema among the audience.
