their lives.

2、
to manage fear at a cultural and national level,said Charles Figley,a professor
of trauma A at Florida State University. getting a lesson in the way fear
works.
佛罗里达州立大学创伤心理学教授查尔斯·菲格利说：“我们得学一学其它许多国
家曾经经历过的东西，那就是从文化上和在全国范围内来应对恐惧。”他还说：“我们正
在体验 恐惧是怎样起作用的。”

3、In a country long proud and even boastful of its openness -- a country where an
ordinary citizen can stroll through the U.S. Capitol unescorted -- the terrorist
attacks are likely to force Americans to watch their steps and look over their
shoulders. We already do a lot of that. Metal detectors now mark the front door
of many government buildings,and security guards are a fixture in the lobby of
most large office buildings.
美国是一 个一向以开放自豪甚至洋洋得意的国家，在这里，人们可以独自在美国国
会大楼里闲庭信步，而现在，恐 怖袭击很有可能迫使美国人处处小心，惶惶不可终日。
其实我们 很大程度上已经是这样了。许多政府 大楼的前门装设的金属探测器已然成为
一道风景线，大部分的办公大楼里也必备保安。

4、But retaliation carries the risk of setting off a tightening spiral of violence
and counter violence not unlike the Middle East or Northern Ireland. Unlike
countries that have had to learn to live with violence,are new at this,said
Florida’s Dr. Figley, who heads a project that has trained trauma teams in
is we will overreach and make things worse rather than better
by retribution,revenge,racism and marginalizing ethnic groups.
报复有很大的危险，会引发和在中东及北 爱尔兰一样的紧张的暴力和反暴力的恶性
攀升。与那些不得不在暴力中学习如何生存的国家不同，“我们 是新手，”曾在南斯拉夫
训练过创伤急救队的项目负责人费格里博士说，“我所担心的是惩罚、报复、种 族主义和
排斥少数民族的举动会过于偏激，适得其反。”

5、Fear of terrorism is likely to lead Americans to tolerate more government
surveillance -- such as overhead video cameras at sporting events -- than they
have to date. very likely in the wake of today’s events that we’re going
to see a greater acceptance on the public’s part -- and on the court’s part
-- to approve certain kinds of police tactics,
Law School professor.
对于 恐怖主义的恐惧会使美国人接受比现在更多的来自政府的监控，例如在运动
竞赛场上高架的摄像机。哈佛 大学法学院教授威廉·斯顿茨说，“经过目前这些事件，
我们将发现，无论是公众，还是法庭，都会在更 大程度上接受某些警察的策略。”

meeting,It went from:
second .When we got there,the snappers were doing their stuff was
starting to take the mickey out of me for being a face at this expensive London
restaurant when we looked across the room and saw Our Man at the same time.
戴夫先到一步，事后他气愤地向我发 难说当他告诉领班准备和谁一起吃饭时，领班
的语气骤然逆转。一瞬间就从“这是个什么人？”变成“这 边有请，先生。”当我们赶
到时，拍照的人已经在饭店外忙个不停了。戴夫开始嘲笑我是伦敦这家高级饭 店里的知
名人物。这时，我俩向屋内望去并同时看到了我们的偶像。

2、 An amazing part of my life—of life with Victoria—is that,sometimes,those
people I’m nervous before meeting and tongue-tied when I do turn out to become
friends.
我的生活中——与维多利亚一起的生活中——一件美 好的事情就是有时那些让我

met him in Italy was to offer Victoria and me their place in the South of France
as somewhere to go if we ever needed to get away from it all.
他们非常慷慨 ：我在意大利见到埃尔顿的那个下午，几乎他所做的第一件事就是把
他们在法国南部的住处提供给维多利 亚和我以便我们一旦需要远离烦乱的生活时有个
落脚的地方。

4、 I’d have been happy listening to his opinion on that and anything else for the
rest of the all know his story but,looking into his eyes,catching his
smile,following the lines across this incredibly handsome face,you couldn’t
help wanting to hear it from him.
在剩下的时间里如果能听到他对我的辫 子和其它事情的看法我会非常高兴。我们都
知道他的故事，但是看着他的眼睛，捕捉着他的笑容，追寻着 这张异常英俊的脸上遍布
的皱纹，你会情不自禁想要听他亲自讲述。

5、 By the time we stumbled off the coach back at the hotel,having been up before
dawn,our lack of sleep was starting to catch up with afternoon drifted
past in a dream.
我们在天亮前就早早起床，因此从大巴 下来跌跌撞撞走回酒店时，睡眠的不足开始
让我犯困。下午就在梦乡中度过了。

第6课
1、 John Forbes Nash,Jr.---- mathematical genius,inventor of a theory of rational
behavior,visionary of the thinking machine----had been sitting with his
visitor,also a mathematician,for nearly half an hour.
小约翰·福布斯·纳什——数学天才、理性行为理论的缔造者、预见思想机器出现< br>的预言家——已经和来访者，也是一位数学家，共坐了将近半个小时。

2、 He had been staring dully at spot immediately in front of the left foot of Harvard
profrssor George Mackey,hardly moving except to brush his long dark hair away from
his forehead in fitful,repetitive motion.
他一直目光呆滞地 盯着哈佛教授乔治·麦基左脚前方不远的地方，除了一次次重复
着将垂在前额的略长的黑发拨开的动作， 他几乎一动不动。

3、 Over the next decade,a decade as notable for his supreme faith in human
rationality as for its dark anxieties about mankind’s survival,Nash proved
himself,in the words of the eminent geometer Mikhail Gromov, “the most
remarkable mathematician of the second half of the century”.
在未来十年，在那既以对人类理性抱有无上信念而著称 ，又以对人类生存怀有无尽
忧虑而闻名的十年，纳什，用知名几何学家米克哈尔·格罗莫夫的话说，证明 了自己是
“20世纪后半叶最杰出的数学家”。

4、 Geniuses,the mathematician Paul Halmos wrote, “are of two kinds:the ones who
are just like all of us,but very much more so,and the ones who,apparently,have
an extra human can all run,and some of us can run the mile in less than
4 minutes;but there is nothing that most of us can do that compares with the
creation of the Great G-minor Fugue”.Nash’s genius was of that mysterious
variety more often associated with music and art than with the oldest of all
sciences.
数学家保罗·哈莫斯写道，天才“分为两种：一种就像我们大家一样，只是更为出
色；另一种则是那些明 显具备超凡人类灵感的人。我们都能跑步，有些人还能在四分钟
内跑完一英里；但是我们所做的一切无论 如何也无法与创作出G小调赋格曲相提并论”。
纳什的天分就属于那种常与音乐和艺术而非与最古老的科 学紧密相连的神奇异禀。

5、 Compulsively rational,he wished to turn life’s decisions----whether to take
the first elevator or wait for the next one,where to bank his money,what job
to accept,whether to marry----into calculations of advantage and
disadvantage,algorithms or mathematical rules divorced from
emotion,convention,and tradition.
他具有一种难以抑 制的理性，希望将生活中的决定——是搭乘第一部电梯还是等待
下一部，到哪里存钱，接受什么样的工作 ，是否结婚——都转化为利弊得失的计算，转
化为完全脱离感情、习俗和传统的算法法则或数学规则。

6、 His remoteness was punctuated by flights of garrulousness about outer space and
geo-political trends,childish pranks,and unpredicatable eruptions of
these outbursts were,more often than not,as enigmatic as his silence. “He is
not one of us”was a constant refrain.
他一贯冷漠，但一时兴起也会喋喋不休地谈论外太空和地缘政治趋势，或做出孩子< br>般的恶作剧，或者毫无征兆地勃然大怒。这些情感的迸发总是和他的沉默一样神秘莫测。
“他和我 们不一样。”是人们常说的一句话。

7、 Nash’s insight into the dynamics of human rivalry----his theory of rational
conflict and cooperation----was to become one of the most influential ideas of
the twentieth century,transforming the youny science of economics the way that
Mendel’s ideas of genetic transmission,Darwin’s model of natural
selection,and Newton’s celestial mechanics reshaped biology and physics in
their day.
纳什对于人类竞争动态变化的洞察——他的理性竞争与合作理论——将 会成为20
世纪最具影响的思想理论之一。这一理论改变着新兴的经济学，其作用无异于孟德尔的
基因遗传，达尔文的自然选择模式和牛顿的天体力学再造了当时的生物学和物理学。

第9课
1、 Still,it tugs at our we unexpectedly encounter the full moon,huge and
yellow over the horizon,we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding
the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.
但无论怎 样，月亮依旧牵动我们的心灵。倘若我们偶尔遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高悬
中天，谁都会禁不住停下来凝神 仰望她尊贵的姿容。而月亮也向注视她的人赐予厚礼。

2、 But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and
complexion changed from red，to orange，to gold，to impressive seemed
to draw light out of the darkening earth，for as it rose，the hills and valleys
belows grew the time the moon stood clear of the horizon，full chested
and round and the color of ivory，the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape.
然而当月亮缓缓升起，离开 山头，它变得坚定、威严；它的面孔也由红变成了橘红，
又变成金色，最后是平静的明黄色。它似乎从渐 暗的大地中吸取了光明，因为随着它的
升起，下面的丘陵山谷愈来愈黯淡朦胧。待到皓月当空，满月如盘 ，闪烁着象牙般乳白
的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片片幽深的阴影。

3、 Moonrise is slow and serried with watch it，we must slip into an
older，more patient sense of watch the moon move inexorably higher is
to find an unusual stillness within imaginations become aware of
the vast distance of space，the immensity of the earth and huge improbablity
of our own existence。We feel small but privileged.
月出是缓慢的，充满神奇。观看月出，我们得回到过去那种对时间的耐心 中去。观
看月亮不可阻挡地升到空中就能让我们内心安宁，我们的神思能让我们看到宇宙的广漠
和大地的宽阔，能让我们忘掉自己。我们觉得自身渺小，却又深感大自然的厚待。

4、 Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder des seem silken and silvery，
the oceans still and blue in its moonlight we become less calculating，
more drawn to our feelings.
月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了柔和的轻纱，一
片银白；海水在月光下 碧蓝而静谧；我们在月光下也不再像白日那般精于算计，而是沉
醉于自然的情感中。

5、 I return often to the rising moon.I am draw especially when events crowd ease
and clarity of vision into a small comer of my life.
后来我常回到山上观月，尤其是在接踵而来的事使我身心疲惫、头晕眼花时。

6、 Lovers and poets find deeper meaning at are all apt to pose
deeperquestions---about our origins and destinies. We indulge in riddles，
rather than in the impersonal geometries that govern the day-lit become
philosophers and mystics.
恋人和诗人在夜里能找到生活更 深刻的意义。其实我们都爱问一些深刻的问题—
—我们的祖先是什么？我们的命运在哪里？我们不喜欢那 些统治着白天世界的刻板的
几何教科书，都愿意沉溺于永远找不到答案的谜团中。在夜里，我们都成了哲 人和神
秘主义者。

7、 At moonrise，as we slow our minds to the pace of the heavens，enchantment steals
over open the vents of feeling and exercise parts of our minds that reason
locks away by hear，across the distances，murmurs of ancient hunter and
see the visions of poets and lovers of long ago.
月出之时，当我们放慢自己的思想，让它跟随 天国的脚步，一种心醉神迷的感觉
就会流遍全身。我们会打开情感的窗口，会让白天被理智锁住的那部分 思绪尽情奔涌。
我们有越过遥远的时空，听见远古猎人的低语，再次看到很久以前的恋人与诗人眼中的世界。

2、 It may be quite necessary to society for all that.
即便如此，他们的工作对社会来说也可能是十分必要的。

3、 These persons, and particularly the first group, are concerned only indirectly
with deterring other criminals. The thing they crave primarily is the
satisfaction of seeing the criminal actually before them suffer as he made them
suffer.
这些人，特别是第一类人，对是否遏止其它罪犯并不太关心。他们 极欲得到的是一
种满足，就是看到给他们带来痛苦的罪犯在他们面前也饱尝痛苦。

4、 Every law-abiding citizen feels menaced and frustrated until the criminals have
been struck down---until the communal capacity to get even with them, and more
than even, has been dramatically demonstrated.
每位守法公民都感到威胁，感到无计可施， 直到罪犯受到打击，直到凭借公众力量
报了仇，还不仅仅是扯平，而这力量得到充分的体现后，这种感觉 才会消失。

5、 Why should he wait at all? Why not hang him the day after the last court dissipates
his last hope? Why torture him as not even cannibals would torture their victims? 他到底为什么要等呢？为什么不在终审法院使他的希望破灭后的第二天处决他
呢？为什么要用连食人 族都不会用的手段折磨他呢？

1、 Take another look at those cables:They snake into the back of the computer and
then out again,terminating in a cap on the monkey’s head,where they receive
signals from hundreds of electrodes butied in its monkey is directing
the robot with its thoughts.
再看看那些电缆。电缆弯弯曲曲地进入计算机后盖，然后又出来，最后到达猕猴头
上的帽子里。电缆从埋在猕猴大脑里的数百个电极接收信号，猕猴用思维向机器手臂发
出指令。

2、 For decades scientists have pondered,speculated on,and pooh-poohed the possi
bility of a direct interface between a brain and a machine----only in the late
1990s did scientists start learning enough about the brain and signal-processing
to offer glimmers of hope that this science-fiction vision could become reality.
几十年来，科学家就一直在思索、推测大脑和机器直接联系的可能性，但都认为这< br>不切实际。只是到了20世纪90年代末，科学家才开始充分地了解大脑与信号处理的有
关知识， 从而出现了使科幻小说的幻象变成现实的希望的曙光。

3、 The notion of decoding the brain’s commands can seem,on the face of it,to be
pure could any computer eavesdrop on all the goings-on that take place
in there every moment of ordinary life?
解码 大脑指令的想法乍看起来可能像是十足的狂妄自大。计算机怎么能窃听日常生
活每时每刻发生在大脑里的 全部活动呢?

4、 But most researchers assumed that each type of movement was governed by a specific
handful of the brain’s billions of neurons----the need to monitor the whole
brain in order to find those few would make the successful decoding a practical
impossibility.
但是，大多数研究人员认为，每种类型的运动都是靠大脑几十亿神经元中一些少
数特定的神经元 来控制的——为了找到那些少数神经元而需要监测整个大脑则会使成
功的解码变为实际办不到的事。

5、 Thus everthing that was known at the time suggested that brain-machine interfaces
were a fool’s hing,it turned out,was wrong.
因此，那时知道的一切表明，使脑－机联系是徒劳无益之举。结果证明，那一切都
是错误的。

1、 Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing
the gardens and the sea.
艺术家们喜欢棕榈树生长的形状以及那面对花园与大海的旅馆明亮的色彩。

2、 Water stood in pools on the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the
rain and slipped back down the beach to come up and break again in a long line
in the rain.
雨水在砾石路上聚集成了一个个小水坑 。海水涌上了沙滩，在与雨水相接之处形
成了一条长长的分界线，之后又顺着沙滩滑回去，然后再涌上沙 滩，又形成了一条长长
的分界线。

3、 Outside right under their window a cat was crouched under one of the dripping
green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so compact that she would not
be dripped on.
就在他们的窗外一只小猫蹲在一张绿色的滴着雨水的桌子下 面。它尽量地缩着身子
以免被雨水淋湿。

4、 She liked the deadly serious way he received any complaints. She liked his
dignity.
她喜欢旅馆老板非常认真地听取顾客意见的方式。她喜欢他那威严的样子。

5、 Something felt very small and tight inside the girl. The padrone made her feel
very small and at the same time really important. She had a momentary feeling
of being of supreme importance.
女孩的心被轻轻地触动了。旅馆老板对她的态度使她感到自己既柔弱又非常重 要。
在一瞬间感觉自己好像是最重要的人物了。
