3.
[翻译题,3.3分] 这种方法的问题在于无法大规模地实践。不幸的是，在我们
的地球上高尚的野蛮人和未被破坏的风景已越来越少；除了两极地区以外，已经
没有未开发的土地了。 少数富有的乡绅还可以逃避现实去过田园生活——但总的
来说迁移的潮流是反向流动的。
The trouble with this solution is that it no longer is practical on large scale. Our
planet,unfortunately, is running out of noble savages and unsullied landscapes; except for the
polar regions, the frontiers are gone. A few gentleman farmers with plenty of money can still
escape to the bucolic life——but in general the stream of migration is flowing the other way.

consumer throws away the object he has bought and buys another, the better for the producer.

life.

越少，除了北极和南极，边疆地区已无处可觅。
Our planet, unfortunately, is running out of noble savages and unsullied landscapes;except for the

尽管我不会简单到认为电视是造 成这一局面的直接原因，我却相信它起了一定作
用，是一个影响因素
Literacy may not be an inalienable human right, but it is one that the highly literate Foundling
Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even unattainable. We are not only not attaining it
as a nation, statistically speaking,but we are falling further and further short of attaining it, And,

有细微的区分。在伦敦，除了为数不多的几家只对白人开放的俱乐部外，划 分种
族界限的场合很少。英国人没有肤色偏见，牛津的大学生活更是如此。就是在这
样一种宽松 的气氛里，我的关于种族和家庭的戒备心理松懈下来了。
England then, for the most part, was free of the fine distinctions between
blacks and whites traditionally made in America. Except for some exclusive
clubs in London, there were few occasions where racial lines were drawn.
The color—blindness of England was especially true in the student life
at Oxford. It was in such a relaxed racial atmosphere that all my defenses,
about race and home, came down,

words, about where you and your society are.
19.[翻译题,3.3分] 30年代的大难题刚刚得到初步控制，新的问题又出现了
——前所未有的富裕社会和种族平等问题。
