新概念英语第三册课文翻译及笔记Lesson17
【课文】
Mary and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of
Mary's prize possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a
tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening. One evening, however, the lamb was
missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen.
When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out
to find the thief. He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village. After telling several
of his friends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new
lamb. Dimitri immediately went to Aleko's house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb. He told
him he had better return it or he would call the police. Aleko denied taking it and led Dimitri into his
backyard. It was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black. Ashamed of
having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologized to Aleko for having accused him. While they were talking it
began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Aleko's house until the rain stopped. When he went outside half an
hour later, he was astonished to find the little black lamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been
dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain!
【课文翻译】
玛丽与丈夫迪米特里住在希腊南部一个叫波拉考拉的小村庄里。玛丽最珍贵的财产之一就是丈夫送给她的一只白色
小羔羊。白天,玛丽把羔羊拴在地里的一颗树上,每天晚上把它牵回家。可是,一天晚上,那只小羔羊失踪了。绳子被
人割断,很明显小羔羊是被人偷了。
迪米特里从地里回来,妻子把情况跟他一说,他马上出去找偷羔羊的人。他知道在这样一个小村庄里抓住小偷并不
困难。把失窃的事告诉几个朋友后,迪米特里发出他的邻居阿列科家突然多了一只小羔羊。迪米特里立刻去了阿列科家
,气呼呼地指责他偷了羔羊,告诉他把羊交还,否则就去叫警察。阿列科不承认,并把迪米特里领进院子。不错,他的
确刚买了一只羔羊,阿列科解释说,但他的羔羊是黑色的。迪米特里为自己的鲁莽而感到不好意思,向阿列科道了歉,
说是错怪了他。就在他俩说话的时候,天下起了雨,迪米特里便呆在阿列科家里避雨,一直等到雨停为止。半小时后,
当他从屋里出来时,他惊奇地发现小黑羔羊全身几乎都变成白色。原来羊毛上染的黑色被雨水冲掉了!

【课文】
Modern sculpture rarely surprises us any more. The idea that modern art can only be seen in museums
is mistaken. Even people who take no interest in art cannot have failed to notice examples of modern
sculpture on display in public places. Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops.
We have got quite used to them. Some so-called 'modern' pieces have been on display for nearly eighty
years.
In spite of this, some people -- including myself -- were surprise by a recent exhibition of modern
sculpture. The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: 'Do not touch
the exhibits. Some of them are dangerous!' The objects on display were pieces of moving sculpture. Oddly
shaped forms that are suspended form the ceiling and move in response to a gust of wind are quite
familiar to everybody. These objects, however, were different. Lined up against the wall, there were
long thin wires attached to metal spheres. The spheres had been magnetized and attracted or repelled
each other all the time. In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which
contained coloured lights. These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad.
Sparks were emitted from small black boxes and red lamps flashed on and off angrily. It was rather like
an exhibition of prehistoric electronic equipment. These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to
shock people emotionally, but to give them electric shocks as well!
【课文翻译】
现代雕塑不再使我们感到惊讶了。那种认为现代艺术只能在博物馆里才能看到的观点是错误的。即使是对艺术不感
兴趣的人也不会注意到在公共场所展示的现代艺术品。公园里、大楼和商店外竖立着的奇形怪状的雕塑,对这些,我们
已经司空见惯了。有些所谓的“现代”艺术品在那里已经陈列了近80年了。
尽管如此,最近举办的一次现代雕塑展览还是使一些人(包括我在内)大吃了一惊。走进展厅首先看到的是一张告示
,上面写着“切勿触摸展品,某些展品有危险!”展品都是些活动的雕像。人们所熟悉的是悬挂在天花板上、造型奇特
、随风飘荡的雕塑品。这些展品却使人大开眼界。靠墙排列着许多细长的电线,而电线又连着金属球。金属球经过磁化
,互相之间不停地相互吸引或相互排斥。展厅中央是装有彩色灯泡的许多高高的构件,灯泡一刻不停地闪烁着,就像失
去了控制的红绿灯。小黑盒子里迸出火花,红色灯泡发怒似地忽明忽暗。这儿倒像是在展览古老的电子设备。好像设计
这些奇形怪状的展品不仅是为了给人感情上的强烈刺激,而且还想给人以电击似的!

新概念英语第三册课文翻译及笔记Lesson19
【课文】
Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs.
Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat,
Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the
evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got
very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.
Three days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated
that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At
first she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again -- the letter
had made that quite clear -- she changed her mind. She withdrew $1000 from her bank and followed the
kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the
kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He
looked very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were
astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her.
Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!
【课文翻译】
绑架者很少对动物感兴趣。最近,绑架者却盯上了埃莉诺.拉姆齐太太的猫。埃莉诺.拉姆齐太太是一个非常富有的
老妇人,多年来,一直同她养的猫拉斯一起住在一所公寓里。拉斯特斯生活很有规律,傍晚常常出去溜达一会儿,并且
总是在7点钟以前回来。可是,有一天晚上,它出去后再也没回来。拉姆齐太太急坏了,四处寻找,但没有找着。
拉斯特斯失踪3天后,拉姆齐太太收到一封匿名信。写信人声称拉斯特斯安然无恙,只要拉姆齐太太愿意支付1,000
英镑赎金,可以立即将猫送还。他让拉姆齐太太把钱放在一个纸盒里,然后将纸盒放在门口。一开始拉姆齐太太打算报
告警察,但又害怕再也见不到拉斯特斯——这点,信上说得十分明白——于是便改变了主意。她从银行取出1,000 英镑
,并照绑架者的要求做了。第二天早晨,放钱的盒子不见了。但拉姆齐太太确信绑架者是会履行诺言的。果然,当天晚
上7点正,拉斯特斯准时回来了。它看上去一切正常,只是口渴得很,喝了半瓶牛奶。拉姆齐太太把她所做的事告诉了
警察,警察听后大为吃惊。拉姆齐太太解释说她心疼她的猫拉斯特斯。想到她所花的那笔钱,她的心疼就具有双重意义
了。
