    【文章一：熊與兩個旅者】
    The Bear and the Two Travelers
    熊與兩個旅者
    Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path.
    兩個平常非常要好的朋友一起走在旅行的途中，突然遇到一頭大熊 。
    One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches.
    其中的一個立即閃電般地搶先爬上了樹，躲了起來。
    The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could.
    而另一個眼見逃生無望，便靈機一動馬上躺倒在地上，緊緊地屏住呼吸，假裝死了，熊走到他跟前，用鼻子在他臉上嗅了嗅，。
    The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body.
    不一會兒熊就轉(zhuǎn)身走了。據(jù)說，熊從來不吃死人。
    When he was quite gone, the other traveler descended from the tree, and jocularlyinquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear.
    躲在樹上的人下來后，問熊在他耳邊說了些什么。
    "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger."
    那人委婉地回答說：“熊告訴我，今后千萬注意，別和那些不能共患難的朋友一起同行。”
    【文章二：龜兔賽跑】
    The Tortoise and the Hare
    龜兔賽跑
    The Hare was once boasting of his speed before other animals. "I have never been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."
    從前有一只兔子，他在其它動物面前吹噓自己跑得是如何如何的快?！爱斘胰俦寂艿臅r候，我從來沒有被打敗過，”他說，“誰敢跟我比一比?”
    The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
    “我來跟你跑一場”，一只烏龜沉著地說。
    "That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."
    “快笑死我了，” 兔子說，“我一邊跑一邊圍著你跳舞都能贏你”。
    "Keep your boasting till you've won," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"
    “你跑贏了再吹牛吧”，烏龜說，“我們可以開始比賽了嗎?”
    So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race.
    于是，他們確定了一條比賽路線和起點。比賽開始，兔子是嗖的一聲就跑得沒影了，但他很快就停了下來?！榱俗尀觚斨浪]把烏龜放在眼里，兔子決定睡上一覺再接著跑?！∵@時，烏龜正一點一點艱難地向前爬著?！‘斖米右挥X醒來，發(fā)現(xiàn)烏龜離終點已經(jīng)很近了，要追已經(jīng)趕不上了。
    Then the Tortoise said: "Slow but steady progress wins the race."
    這時，烏龜說：“踏踏實實、一步步前進，你就會贏得比賽”。
    【文章三：母親的含義】
    A woman named Emily renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. "What I mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are you just a ... "一位名叫埃米莉的婦女在縣辦事處給駕駛執(zhí)照續(xù)期時，一名女記錄員問及她的職業(yè)。她猶豫了一下，不敢肯定應(yīng)如何將自己歸類?！拔乙馑际钦f你有沒有工作，”那名記錄員解釋說，“還是說你只不過是一名……”
    "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother."“我當然有工作，”埃米莉馬上回答，“我是一名母親?！?BR>    "We don't list 'mother' as an occupation ... 'Housewife' covers it," said the recorder emphatically. “我們這里不把‘母親’看成是一個職業(yè)……‘家庭主婦’就可以了?！蹦敲涗泦T斷然回答。
    I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, "Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar." "What is your occupation?" she probed。這個故事聽后，我就忘了。直到有一天在市政廳，我也遇到了同樣的情況。很顯然，那名辦事員是位職業(yè)女性，自信、有能力，并有著一個類似“官方訊問員”或“鎮(zhèn)登記員”之類很堂皇的頭銜。“你的職業(yè)？”她問道。
    What made me say it, I do not know ... The words simply popped out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations."至今我也不知道，當時是什么因素作怪，我脫口而出：“我是兒童發(fā)育和人類關(guān)系研究員?！?BR>    The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair, and looked up as though she had not heard right。那名辦事員愣住了，拿著原珠筆的手也不動了。她抬頭看著我，好像沒有聽清楚我說什么似的。
    I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire。我慢慢地把我的職業(yè)再重復(fù)一遍，在說到重要的詞時還加重語氣。然后，我驚奇地看著我的話被粗黑的筆記錄在官方的問卷上。
    "Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your field?"“我能不能問一下，”這名辦事員好奇地問，“你在這個領(lǐng)域具體做什么？”
    Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn't)， in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters, (the whole darned family)， and already have four credits, (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money."我非常鎮(zhèn)定地答道：“我有一個不間斷的研究項目(哪位母親不是這樣呢？)，工作地點包括實驗室和現(xiàn)場(通常我會說室內(nèi)和戶外)。我在為我的學(xué)位努力(就是我們一家人)，而且已經(jīng)有了四個學(xué)分(全部是女兒)。當然，我的工作是人類要求的工作之一(有哪位母親會反對嗎？)我通常工作一天14小時(24小時更為準確)。但這項工作比大部分普通工作都具有挑戰(zhàn)性，而它通常帶來的回報不是金錢，更多的是滿足感?！?BR>    There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door。那名辦事員在填完表格后，站起來，親自把我送到門口。在這個過程中，她說話時流露出一股敬意。
    As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants - ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby)， in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern。我回到家，把車停在家門前的車道時，還對自己響亮的頭銜覺得飄飄然。我那三名年齡分別為13歲、7歲、3歲的實驗室助手正在等著我，從樓上傳來我們的新實驗?zāi)Ｌ貎?六個月大的嬰兒)的聲音，她正放開嗓門，測試著新的聲音模式。I felt triumphant! I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than "just another mother."我感到歡欣鼓舞！我竟然打敗了官僚機構(gòu)！如今，在官方的紀錄上，我成了人類超群出眾、不可或缺的人物，而不僅僅是一位母親。
    Motherhood ... What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door。母親……這是多么光榮的職業(yè)??！特別是現(xiàn)在這已經(jīng)成為官方記錄了。
    Does this make grandmothers "Senior Research Associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations" and great grandmothers "Executive Senior Research Associates"? I think so!!!這是不是說奶奶和姥姥就是“資深兒童發(fā)育和人類關(guān)系研究員”，而曾祖母則是“高級研究員”呢？我想是這樣的！
    I also think it makes Aunts "Associate Research Assistants"。我想，小姨子也因此成了“研究員助理”。
