高一第五单元课文翻译篇一

王林，一个跟他妻子、儿子生活在中国东部的木匠。两年前，被诊断得了肺结核。他身体越来越虚弱，胸口经常不断地疼痛。医生告诉他治疗需要花费上万元。可王先生是个下岗工人，他的妻子月收入仅300元。更糟糕的是，他还有个贷款上大学的儿子。这种情况似乎很令人绝望。

但是，三个月后，王林听说有一个保健项目能根据患者需要以半价、甚至更低的价格提供治疗。多亏了这个项目以及家人和邻居的好心，他及时得到了治疗，阻止了疾病对整个身体健康的破坏。现在他已经回到家，正在寻找一份工作。而且，他已决定为他的家人买保险。他说：“如果我早买了保险，这次疾病就不会引起这么大的麻烦。我不会让这种事情再发生在家里其他人身上。”

拯救王先生命的这个项目是许多旨在改善和提高中国特困人群生活状况项目中的一个。这个项目旨在鼓励保健改革，摆脱贫穷。它是全国最大的健康医疗资助项目，现正在四个城市被试点。到目前为止，这个项目已帮助多人得到医疗资助。中国政府也正在连同其他国家和国际组织一起工作，为低收入家庭提供方便接触医院和诊所的通道。其目标是为中国开发和发展新的保健模式。

王林的情况并不独特、罕见。到底，中国有两千二百万都市人口依赖政府资助过活。总计有一百五十一亿元被花在支持那些不能谋生的人身上。然而，这一补助仅够最基本的衣食需要，不包括保健、住房或教育。

对于一些贫困地区的下岗工人来说，疾病就是对他们的家庭施加额外的压力。当他们病了的时候，他们负担不起看医生和从药店买药的费用，甚至他们都不能保证他们的孩子有健康的饮食。如果某个人病得很严重，整个家庭就会被迫贫穷不堪。有统计数字表明，疾病导致超过百分之三十的低收入家庭生活在贫穷境地。有些家庭甚至不得不把从政府得到的补助全用到治疗和医院费用上。

在政府努力抗击贫穷的许多方面，保健占据很重要的位置。如果低收入家庭连医疗保险都买不起，就像王林一家，那么其他减少贫穷的措施将都不会成功。

政府的另外一项巨大挑战就是阻止艾滋病的蔓延。联合国艾滋病理事会警告，如果不采取更多的措施来阻止这种病的传播，中国受传染人的数量在之前将达到一千万。为了迎接这次挑战，中国政府已承诺为公众提供免费的艾滋病测试和为那些负担不起治疗费用的人提供免费的治疗。

有时候一个社会对其最弱成员的照顾程度被看作是评判此社会的标准。随着我们国家的发展，我们必须记住与财富和繁荣共同到来的责任。当我们国家的发展，我们必须保证没有人被落在后面。我们不能允许自己太自私。当问题出现的时候，我们必须要一起努力克服它。

政府对抗贫穷和改善人们保健的努力包括以下方面：减少贫穷、帮助有病的人得到适当的治疗以及为穷人提供医疗保险。资金有限，政府不可能满足所有需要，但是一系列项目及当地和全国性保健网络的发展表明政府对保健持认真态度

全民教育

在1986年，中国政府提出了一项关于在以前每个中国孩子将会接受九年义务教育的法律。尽管在达成这个目标方面有一些问题，但是结果还是很成功的。据报道，在以前，中国99％的学龄儿童能进入小学。

如同在其他国家一样，中国政府意识到中国市民的将来福利与教育密切相连。在20召开的世界教育论坛会上，计算出有一亿一千三百万个孩子未进入学校。在论坛会上，联合教育成员国，科学和文化组织（unesco）做了一个承诺，目的是去提供“在之前，为所有孩子提供完全免费的高质量的义务教育”。他们称这个目标为 “全民教育“。现在，这些国家正努力去争取让每一个孩子都入学，而且他们也正经历着类似于中国所面临的困难。

首先，创造一个积极的态度是一个重要的开端。在农业为主体的地区，人们不重视教育，家长们对不让孩子们参加地里劳作的做法很有疑虑。尽管关于孩子，家庭和社区怎样才能受益已经做出了解释，但是要改变传统的观念是不容易的。中国和其他国家发现，即使当来自乡下的孩子开始上学的时候，他们经常旷课，然后就有退学的倾向。尤其是在一些地区，由于认为教育是给男孩的而不是为女孩的风气，所以父母总是不情愿送女儿上学。

中国人口众多，这就意味着为接受更多学生就必须扩大学校。已经出现老师短缺问题。

人口少的国家也有问题。在特克斯和凯科斯群岛，人口不足两万，有些学校里学生数量很少，

以至于不同年级的学生在同一间教室里上课。人们如何被分配也能影响教育系统。在中国，大多数市民住在东部区域，这造成了大班级。然而，在遥远的中部和西部省份，人口太少，在这些区域的学校不可能为每个水平上的小数量的学生支援老师。因此，老师只能教混合班级。在澳大利亚的北部和中部，人口是如此的疏散以至于在一些乡下的定居区的孩子去远达1000公里的最近的学校去上学。为解决这个问题，澳大利亚使用“远程教学”方法，学生用收音机和邮件两种方法上课。

一个国家在教育上的成功也全部依赖于经济。在许多发展中国家，不可能有足够的钱来为所有的孩子提供教室、书桌、椅子、书籍和老师。为装备学校，一些政府几乎完全依赖其他国家的援助，国际组织如世界银行和非政府组织以及挽救孩子都在为这些国家提供帮助。其他国家用一些特殊的项目接受帮助：世界银行和挽救孩子已经在中国的一些不发达的省份帮助解决学校。公司和市民个人也通过希望工程捐献钱。

甚至世界上最富有的国家也面临一些问题。美国已发现确定每位学生接受教学的相同质量是不容易的。三分之一的美国学生居住在乡下，给他们提供一个完整的课程是很困难的。远程教学的方法很奏效，现在美国小规模农村学校的学生使用计算机软件、电子邮件和电视会议等方法来学习各门课程。中国已采用远程教学方法，像电视机，并且在，教育部采用计算机处理中部和西部的中国教育网络。

中国政府克服了人口和经济问题来完成它的“九年义务教育”目标。现在，当中国夫妇有一个宝贝的时候，他们能确信他们的孩子将来能进入学校。但是对最不发达的非洲和亚洲国家的孩子的父母来说是非常困难的。在这些甚至没有淡水或者基本保健的国家中，达成“全民教育”的目标将会是一件极大的工作，尽管有来自国际社区的帮助。

为爱牺牲（1）

一元八角七分。全都在这儿了。其中六角是一分一分的铜板。这些一分分的钱是从杂货店老板、菜贩子和肉店老板那儿软硬兼施地一分两分地扣下来的，直弄得自己羞愧难当。德拉反复数了三次，还是一元八角七分，而第二天就是圣诞节了。德拉哭泣着。

他们住在一套带家具的公寓里，每周房租八美元。这是一个破烂不堪的地方。楼下的门道里有个信箱，可从来没有装过信。还有一个电铃，也从来没有响过，紧挨着它有一张名片，上写着“詹姆斯.迪林厄姆.杨先生”。

德拉哭完之后，往面颊上抹了抹粉。她站在窗前，痴痴地看着灰蒙蒙的后院里一只灰白色的猫正行走在灰白色的篱笆上。明天就是圣诞节，她只有一元八角七分给吉姆买一份礼物。她花去好几个月的时间，尽了最大的努力一分一分地积攒下来，才得到这样一个结果。一周二十美元实在经不起花。支出远远大于预算，总是如此。只有一元八角七分给吉姆买礼物，她的吉姆啊。她花费了多少幸福的时日筹划着要送他一件可心的礼物，一件精致、珍奇的礼物--至少应有点儿配得上吉姆所拥有的声誉才成啊。

现在，詹姆斯.迪林厄姆.杨夫妇俩有两件特别引以自豪的东西。一件是吉姆的金表，是他祖父传给父亲，父亲又传给他的传家宝；另一件则是德拉的秀发。

突然，德拉走到镜子前面。她两眼晶莹透亮，但二十秒钟之类她的脸上失去了光彩。她迅速地拆散头发，使之完全披散开来。此时此刻，德拉的秀发泼散在她的肩膀周围，微波起伏，闪耀光芒，有如那褐色的瀑布。她的美发长及膝下，仿佛是她的一件长袍。接着，她又赶紧把头发梳好。踌躇了一分钟，她一动不动地立在那里，破旧的红地毯溅落了一两滴眼泪。

她穿上那件褐色的旧外衣，带上褐色的旧帽子，跑出房门，下楼来到街上。她看了几家理发店，最后在一块招牌前停下来，上写着：“索弗罗尼夫人，专营各式头发。“德拉奔上楼梯。

“你要买我的头发吗？”德拉问。“我买头发，”夫人说。“摘掉帽子，让我看看头发。”那褐色的瀑布泼撒了下来。“二十美元，”夫人一边说，一边内行似的抓起头发。“快给我钱，”德拉说。接下来的两个小时，她彻底搜寻各家店铺，为吉姆买礼物。

她终于找到了。那准是专为吉姆特制的，决非为别人。在其他各家商店你，哪儿也没有这样的东西，她把里面的东西都拿了出来。那是一条金表链，而且它正配得上那只金表。她一见这条表链，就知道一定属于吉姆所有。它对吉姆来说太合适了。她花去二十一美元买下了，匆匆赶回家，只剩下八角七分钱。金表很匹配这条链子，无论在任何场合，吉姆都可以毫无愧色地看时间了。

德拉回家之后，立即着手修补她的头发。不出四十分钟，她的头上布满了紧贴头皮的一绺绺小卷发，使她看上去活像个小女学生。她在镜子前照了很长时间。“假如吉姆看我一眼不把我宰掉的话，”她自言自语，“他一定会说我像个科尼岛上合唱队的卖唱姑娘。但是我能怎么办呢--唉！只有一元八角七分，我能干什么呢？”

为爱牺牲（2）

七点钟，她煮好咖啡，把煎锅置于热炉上，随时都可做晚餐。吉姆一贯准时回家。德拉将表链对叠握在手心，坐在离门最近的桌子角上。当她听见下面楼梯上响起了他的脚步声，她的脸上失去了片刻的血色。她习惯于为了最简单的日常事物而默默祈祷，此刻，她悄声道：“求求上帝，让他觉得我还是漂亮的吧。”

门开了，吉姆走进来并随手关上了门。他显得瘦削而又非常严肃。可怜的人儿，他才二十二岁，就挑起了家庭重担！他需要买件新大衣，连手套也没有呀。

吉姆站在屋里的门口边，两眼固定在德拉身上，其表情使她无法理解，令她毛骨悚然。既不是愤怒，也不是惊讶，又不是不满，更不是嫌恶，根本不是她所预料的任何一种神情。他仅仅是面带这种神情死死的盯着德拉。

德拉起身，向他走过去。“吉姆，亲爱的，”她喊道，“别那样盯着我。我把头发剪掉卖了，因为不送你一件礼物，我无法过圣诞节。头发会再长起来--你不会介意，是吗？我非这么做不可。我的头发长得快极了。说 ‘圣诞快乐’吧！吉姆，让我们快快乐乐的。你肯定猜不着我给你买了一件多么好的--多么美丽、精致的礼物啊！”

“你已经把头发剪掉了？”吉姆问道。“剪掉卖了，”德拉说。“不管怎么说，你不也同样喜欢我吗？没了头发，我还是我嘛，对吗？”吉姆四下望望这房间。“你说你的头发没有了吗？”他问道。“别找了，”德拉说“告诉你，我已经卖了--卖掉了，没有啦。这是圣诞前夜，好人儿。好好待我，这完全是由于对你的爱呀。我可以摆晚餐了吗，吉姆？”

吉姆好像醒了。他把德拉紧紧搂在怀里。吉姆从大衣口袋里掏出一个小包，扔在桌上。 “别对我产生误会，德拉”他说道，“无论剪发还是修面，我都以为世上没有什么东西能减少一点点我对妻子的爱情。如果我剃掉胡须，你会停止对我的爱吗？不会，但是你只消打开那包东西，就会明白刚才为什么使我愣头愣脑了。”

德拉解开绳子，打开纸包，紧接着是欣喜若狂的尖叫，然后突然大哭起来。因为摆在桌子上的梳子--全套梳子，那是德拉在百老汇的一个橱窗见过多次的梳子。这些美妙的发梳，纯玳瑁做的，边上镶着珠宝--其色彩正好同她失去的美发相匹配。她明白，这套梳子实在太昂贵，她曾梦想过据为己有。现在，这一切居然属于她了，可她的长发已无影无踪了。不过，她依然把发梳搂在胸前，过了好一阵子才抬起头，微笑着说：“我的头发长得飞快，吉姆！“

随后，德拉跳了起来，叫道，“喔！喔！吉姆还没有瞧见他的美丽的礼物哩。她急不可待地把手掌摊开，伸到他面前，那没有知觉的贵重金属似乎闪现着她的欢快和热忱。 “漂亮吗，吉姆？我搜遍了全城才找到它。把表给我，我要看看它配在表上的样子。’

吉姆非但不按她的吩咐行事，反而倒在睡椅上，两手枕在头下，微微发笑。“德拉，’他说，“让我们把圣诞礼物放在一边保存一会儿吧。它们实在太好了，目前尚不宜用。我卖掉金表，换钱为你买了发梳。现在，让我们忘掉这件事，吃晚饭，好吗？”

合作

我们经常被要求以组为单位进行工作。这是为什么？有必要同别人一起工作吗？你是否觉得自己单独工作更舒服？尤其在学校，有时我们感觉好像是为了团体活动而组织团体活动。但是，现实中，毕业以后，你会发现，在很多领域里几乎所有的工作都是如此完成的。学校生活只不过是为将来的工作做准备的。

团队就是一群在一起的个体，他们在一起是为了完成小队中任何一个成员都无法单独有效地完成的任务。小组可以是暂时的也可能是长久的。

我们大家都熟悉的是体育运动队。运动队是由一些队员组成的，他们通常的目标就是通力合作赢得比赛。不同的队员可能有不同的技术。尽管教练不算作队员，但是他的角色是讨论比赛策略，决定小组组合。只有当所有的组员合作的都好时，运动队才会做的很好。小组内的氛围影响整个队的表现。组内的关系很重要，组员们不一定都是朋友，但是另一方面，他们应该彼此尊重。让组员们感到他们中的每一个都作出了相同的贡献，并且他们相互帮助和支持是很重要的。

在运动队中，每个队员都有明确的责任，并且很少有队员对自己的责任迷惑或不确定的时候。队员们的责任被认可，并且与每项职责相关的期望和责任没有抵触。但是在学校为完成任务而组成队伍时，我们几乎意识不到这一点。

在学校以组进行活动为更好的学习合作提供了机会。小组活动使我们意识到了最适合于我们每个人的任务。实践也让我们学到与别人相处的经验。他告诉我们别人的职责如何适应整体的目标，并且它教会我们学会如何富有耐心和如何对待不同的人。

正如运动队一样，团队只有在全体成员相互尊重、相互帮助和支持的时候才能成功，而分工明确，每个成员就会在最适合于他或她的职位上发挥充分。但是工程队要求的不同于一支橄榄球队。

团队需要领导，需要出主意的人、完善主意的人和评价并且帮助改善计划的人。团队也需要识别问题和提出问题建议的人。在小队中，队员会依据个性兼顾责任。富有行动和想法的人经常给该队伍注入能量，而善于听和善于评价的人经常关注随之而来的程序。一些人善于评估，而其他人则擅长在激烈的讨论中协调争端和维护和平。

规章制度帮助团队正常运作，但是我们应该反对团体的官僚作风。在团队中我们也得考虑每个队员如何尽最大努力。一些队员能单独出色地完成任务，而其他人只有在团队中才能发挥最好。团队中任务的分配要靠队员的性格和能力进行。

在一个强有力的队中，不同性格的人合作融洽。实际上，他们的不同就是团队的强大力量所在。为了跟同学合作得最融洽，了解他们的优缺点是非常重要的。了解别人的缺点能帮我们避免使别人尴尬。

了解了别人的个性和能力，你就认识了这个人很多。缺乏对人与人之间处理问题的方法不同这一观点的认识就会导致在教室、车间和家里的误解、矛盾和精力的浪费。理解就意味着我们能在队员间建立起坚固友好的关系，并且充分发挥彼此的才能。

圣诞节颂歌（1）

e:bob, 你在那里做什么？

b:我在暖手，scrooge 先生。这里太冷了。

e:我每周付给你十五先令是让你来暖手的吗？

b:我快冻僵了，scrooge 先生。看窗子上的霜。我的手冻得不能写了。我甚至连自己写的东西都认不出来了。

e:太冷了不能写！鬼话！如果你努力工作，你就不会冷。穿上你的大衣，如果我再听到你说一句话，你将去一个真正冷的地方。

(bob想借蜡烛暖他的手)

b:对不起，scrooge先生，呃……明天是圣诞节。

e: 那又怎样？你明天该不是想要休假吧/

b:如果方便的话，先生。

e:不方便，而且也不公平。你一天不干活我还要付你一天的工钱。

b: 一年就一次圣诞节，scrooge先生。

e: 每年的12月2 5日从人家兜里往外掏钱，这是站不住脚的借口！好吧，那你就休假吧，但是你得保证第二天一大早就到办公室！噢，谁来了？是我的侄子fred.

(一个年轻人进来)

r:圣诞愉快，叔叔！上帝保佑你！

e:嗯！鬼话！

f:叔叔，圣诞节会是鬼话吗？我相信你不是那个意思！

e: 我就是这个意思。圣诞快乐！你凭什么快乐，你这么穷？

f: 那么，什么原因让你不快乐，你这么富有？

e: 嗯！鬼话！

f: 求你了，叔叔，这很不友好。

f: 侄子，你用你自己的方式庆祝圣诞节，我用我的方式庆祝它！

e: 庆祝它！但是你并没有庆祝它。

f:没有。我们先别谈这件事。但愿你会从中得到很多好处！

但是你必须承认迤今为止你还没有！看你有多穷！

f: 有很多事情我从中受益虽然并没有给我到来利润。圣诞节是一个好机会。这是这一年里唯一的好时机，人不再光想着自己，所有人都敞开心扉并且也替别人考虑。因此，虽然它从未把金子或者银子放在我的口袋内，但是我相信它已经对我有好处，而且将来也会。我说，上帝保佑它！来吧！明天与我们共进晚餐。

（bob鼓掌。）

e: 快停止你那愚蠢的掌声！让我从你那里听到另一种声音，你将通过失去工作来庆祝圣诞节!

(fred离开。一位绅士进来)

g：scrooge & marley事务所吧。您是scrooge还是marley先生？

e: scrooge只是个名字。我的合伙人在7年以前的这个晚上死了。

g：在这一年的节日里，在我们中许多人享受舒适与安逸的时候，scrooge先生，我们希望您能向受苦受难的穷人们敞开心扉。那么多人无法得到基本的生活需要；数以十万人需要基本的生存条件，先生。

e: 难道没有监狱吗？也没有联合劳工作坊吗？

g：监狱有的是，但是那里没有温暖。我们正筹款打算为穷人买一些肉和喝的东西，而且让他们住得暖和些。您希望做点贡献吗？

e:不，我不能使无所事事的人欢乐。监狱那样的地方花费像我这样的诚实纳税人的钱已经太多了，那些穷人应该去那里。

g：很多人不能去那里；很多人宁愿死也不去。

e: 那就去死吧，如果他们愿意。就个人来说，我不关心。这与我没有关系。我个人的事已经够忙的了。下午好，先生们！（他们全部离开。）好！都走了。

（scrooge入睡了。）

s:嗬，嗬，嗬！

e:坏蛋！bob，是你吗？是谁在那里？

s:咳！scrooge，我尊敬的先生。就咱们两个。

e:你是谁？你是干什么的？算了吧，该下班了。

s:事关你的幸福，我亲爱的scrooge！不要担心时间。我们有足够的时间。嗬，嗬，嗬！

e:骗子。我不相信圣诞老人。让我一个人呆着！

s:你一直都是一个人。还记得你的梦吗，scrooge？想想你的未来吧。

e:（惊恐的）你知道我的梦吗？

s:嗬，嗬，嗬。我太了解人的梦了，scrooge.过来，我要给你看看。

广告

在我们的城市广告随处可见--它们在电视、收音机上广播，粘贴在因特网上，印在报纸和海报上。广告业是高度发展的行业。无线电、电视、电影、杂志和报纸的发展同广告业的发展是齐头并进的。

人们对广告的态度并不一样。有人觉着广告很有用，而且很有趣。也有人对广告很反感。捍卫广告的人认为，广告介绍优质产品，给消费者提供有价值信息，有助于消费者作出判断。另一方面，批评者有时指责公司滥用广告，误导消费者，让我们相信某种其实很一般的产品有多么好或购买某种产品会令人更加愉快等。

广告的原理十分简单。把一个品牌介绍给潜在的顾客，使产品与需要相配和，这样公司就可以影响顾客的选择。由于消费者每天接触大量的广告，广告人必须十分努力才可以灌输自己的信息（给别人）。正因如此，公司往往花费巨资聘用广告人。接近消费者的最后机会是投合消费者的情感需要。这样，卖掉的好像不是一件产品，而是卖掉了金钱所买不到的东西，譬如爱，幸福与成功。

广告对公司和消费者产生作用通过好几种方式。事实一再证明，频繁的广告提升了销售量，从而导致了产量的提高，因此导致了价格的下降。所以广告不但没有使产品变得更贵，反而使产品变得便宜了。广告也会帮助消费者在琳琅满目的商品中作出选择。在购买一件昂贵的商品--譬如一辆车或一台电脑时我们往往要考虑许多因素，这时广告会帮助我们作出正确的决定。

或许广告最重要的功能就是介绍新产品。忠实的广告会提供好的信息帮助消费者判断他们是不是需要某件广告中的产品。通过介绍产品特点、功能、耗资以及服务，广告还可以使消费者在走进商场以前对产品的价格和质量进行比较。在掌握了一些事实和数字以后，消费者才能更好地应对伶牙俐齿的销售人员。

不是所有广告都用来促销产品或者提升公司业绩。政府也会利用广告使民众了解社会问题和政府的方针政策。一些救助组织常常指定某位名人作为自己的代言人来宣传自己的宗旨。譬如，联合国选择足球明星罗纳尔多，歌星tetsuya komuro以及其他一些名人作为特使向公众宣传自己的计划。政府的其他一些非赢利机构还利用广告技术来普及知识、影响公众的态度取向以及改良社会。

有一些广告就不是那么有帮助。这些“坏广告”利用非法手段误导消费者。识别一个坏广告不是很容易，但总有一些蛛丝马迹可以追寻。首先，我们要时刻留意那些“隐藏信息”。有些广告把很重要的信息隐藏在很小的字体下面或者用色彩掩饰着。还有些广告通过半真半假的图片或者为了看上去更吸引人而改动图片从而来误导我们。在一则所谓的“诱骗销售法”的广告中就使用了类似的伎俩：展示给顾客的是一种产品，买到的却是另外一种。

没有明显的证据表明广告的用处到底有多大，但是广告对于厂家和消费者却很重要。好的广告有助于公司推销新产品，提高销售量。如果广告提供准确的信息，则有助于大众消费者以最优的价格买到合适的产品。由于广告的巨大影响加上厂家的蓄意误导，我们对待广告要特别小心。如果我们不能辨别真假，我们就正好中了圈套。反过来讲，如果我们学会辨别，我们就会保护自己不受虚假广告的欺骗从而作出明智的选择。

unit 3 the portrait of a nation

一个国家的描述

现代的澳大利亚是由六个州和两大区组成的：西澳洲、南澳州、昆士州、新南威尔士州、维多利亚州、塔斯马尼亚州，澳大利亚首都区和北部区。澳大利亚有很多大洋环绕着：西边有印度洋，南边有南印度洋，东北部是太平洋。澳大利亚的最大城市是悉尼，但是首都是堪培拉，堪培拉位于悉尼和墨尔本之间。澳大利亚的国旗未英国国旗图案并带有一颗最大的七角星。七角星中的六个角象征组成澳大利亚联邦的六个州，第七个角代表联邦区（北部地区和首都直辖区）。国旗上其他小星代表南十字星座（是南天小星座之一，星座虽小，但明亮的星很多）--那是一组映在南方天空的星星，人们可以借助它们找到南极。

最初的澳大利亚人

澳大利亚是一个古老大陆上的年轻的国家。澳大利亚最早的居民是土著居民和托雷斯海峡的岛上居民。这些人群的祖先早在五万年前就到了澳洲而且创造了复杂的社会。他们的文化发展很快，而且他们与非洲人及其他一些邻近地区有强大的连结。一些澳大利亚土著人仍然过着和他们的祖先一样的生活方式而其他的一些则生活在城市里、城镇上和农村。

一个罪犯的国家？

七世纪，欧洲探险者开始到达这块大陆。西班牙人、葡萄牙人、荷兰人和后来的英国船只到达了塔斯马尼亚州的北海岸和西海岸。1770连，詹姆斯。库克船长进行了一次科学考察旅行，声称这个大陆的东海岸属于不列颠王国。后来美国独立战争使得英国不能向北美输送囚犯，澳大利亚也就被选为一个新的囚犯和罪犯流放地。1788年，第一批流放犯人的11艘船到达澳大利亚。英国总督登陆的日期是1月26日，也就是现在的澳大利亚日。在随后的80年里，大约有16万囚犯被流放到澳大利亚。这些新来的移民改变了这里的管理方式，引进了对澳大利亚生态系统有害的动植物。结果，原始澳大利亚受到了伤害。很多土著人和岛上居民被剥夺了土地搬走了。

另一个新大陆：一个国家的诞生

二十世纪早期，澳大利亚和十八世纪的美国一样：她是一个没有统治阶级的“新世界”。19，澳大利亚联邦组成了。这个机构管理着规定人都是平等自由的六个州，解释他们自己的人权，描述新的政府。当地的土著人和非欧洲人不能享有平等的权利。直到很多年后，澳大利亚才学会了尊重土著人并且承认一个不同社会的重要性。

第一次世界大战对澳大利亚有很大的影响。战后，这个国家经历了社会和经济的动荡不安局面，遭受了二十世纪三十年代的萧条。第二次世界大战以后，澳大利亚开始把自己变成了一个和今天一样的现代化国家。经济增长了，澳大利亚从移民中受益匪浅。在二次世界大战后的五十年里，大约200这个国家的人民迁到了澳大利亚。在二十世纪六十年代后期，这个国家也开始改变对待当地土著人的态度，政府通过了法律来加强当地土著人和岛上居民的权利并且改善他们的生活条件。

讲澳大利亚语言？一切良好！

英语是澳大利亚的官方语言。澳大利亚英语在发音与英国英语和美国英语不同，其中，在澳大利亚用的一些词汇与你在英语课堂上学的完全不同。澳大利亚人喜欢他们的语言并喜欢用它开玩笑。“no worries”在澳大利亚语中意为”everything is ok”. “mate”通常意为“friend”或”companion”,但可以跟任何人说。“sheila”是“女子”，“outback”是指“未开垦的土地”，“billabong”是干河道，uni是大学，而go walk about 则指到灌木丛中闲逛。而一些土著人的语言已经不被人所知，人们正在努力去保护和记录他们说留下的。大概澳大利亚英语最著名的例子可能就是客人到澳大利亚一定会听到的友好的“g’day mate”.

蜜蜂的语言

有很多不同种类的蜂，有些群居，像蜜蜂，它们在树上或岩洞里筑巢，另一些则在地下的洞里居住，也有一些根本就不群居。在不同种类的蜂中，只有蜜蜂最能引起科学家的兴趣，这在于它们相互交流所用的语言。1851年现代蜂箱的出现使设计研究蜜蜂语言的实验成为可能。

卡尔.冯.弗里士教授是一位奥地利科学家，他一生中花费了多年研究蜜蜂在黑暗的蜂房里是怎样以很巧妙的方式传递信息的。从事多年的蜜蜂研究之后，卡尔.冯.弗里士教授对一再观察到的某一现象感到很纳闷。当他把一小叠一小叠的蜜放在桌上后，蜜蜂不一会儿就来了。一旦有一只蜜蜂发现了蜜，没多久便飞来了许多蜜蜂。看来一只（发现了食物的）蜜蜂能把食物的信息传递给蜂箱里的其他蜜蜂。这是怎样做到的呢？为了弄清情况，冯.弗里士制作了几个特殊的蜂箱，每个蜂箱里面只放一个蜂窝，蜂箱的一面是透明的，他可以透过透明的墙观察蜜蜂在里面的活动情况，为了便于区别，他在一些蜂的身上点上颜色。

当一只带有标记的蜜蜂从喂食的桌上飞回蜂箱时，冯.弗里士就通过玻璃进行观察。使他惊讶的是，这只蜜蜂在蜂窝上面跳起舞来。它先向右转一圈，再向左转一圈。它这样一遍一遍地转圈。情况还不仅如此，这种舞蹈似乎使周围的蜜蜂兴奋起来。它们成群地跟在第一只跳舞的蜜蜂后面，模仿它的动作，然后离开蜂箱飞到喂食处去了。这种圆圈舞好像传递了有关食物的信息。可是它还传递什么别的信息吗？

冯.弗里士设想这种舞传递了更多的信息。为了查明这一设想正确与否，他设了两个喂食点，一个靠近蜂箱，另一个在很远之外，相隔树林。他给所有来到近处喂食点的蜜蜂都点上蓝色，给所有飞到远处喂食点的蜜蜂都点上红色。当蜜蜂返回蜂箱时，冯.弗里士看到了一种奇妙的景象，所有到过近处喂食点的蜜蜂都跳着圆圈舞，所有到过远处喂食点的蜜蜂都跳着一种完全不同的舞--摆尾舞。跳舞的蜜蜂沿着一条直线跑，腹部左右摆动，然后它转半个圈，再沿直线跑，又向另一边转半个圈。它一遍一遍得重复着这些“舞步”。现在事情很明白了，很明显圆圈舞告诉蜜蜂喂食点的位置。也很明显蜜蜂移到一侧的摆尾舞含有关于喂食点另外的信息。

接着，冯.弗里士和他的同事们在靠近蜂箱的地方设置了一个喂食点，然后他们把喂食点慢慢往远处移动。回到蜂箱处，他们便仔细观察摆尾舞。他们用跑表计算蜜蜂在一分钟内重复舞蹈的次数。他们发现喂食点越远，舞就跳得越慢。于是另一个惊人的事实是显露出来，每分钟摆尾舞的次数说明了到喂食点的准确距离。他们还发现蜜蜂从蜂箱到喂食点的最大飞行距离是3.2公里。

对于冯.弗里士教授和他的同伴来说下一步的问题就是查出蜜蜂是否能彼此告诉喂食点的精确位置。例如蜜蜂是否有可能交流一些像方位北、南、西南、东南等精确的细节呢？为了回答这个问题，冯.弗里士教授和他的同伴们将必须获取足够的数据去提供一份有关蜜蜂行为的充分的资料。设计了更多的实验后，他们便能弄清蜜蜂互传寻找食物信息的过程了。

当蜜蜂发现了一个喂食点，他们从蜂箱直接飞去，片刻后一群蜜蜂就像一条溪流一样来回于喂食点和蜂箱之间。几个世纪之前就出现了“bee-line”这个词，现在”to make a beeline for someone or something”这种表达的意思是沿着直线迅速地去某处。

他一生的时间都花在了研究动物的交际上，包括蜜蜂在内。1973年，卡尔.冯.弗里士与另外两位科学家共同活动了诺贝尔奖。他死于1982年。

《月亮宝石》这部小说是以1848年的英国为背景写的，但真实的故事发生在此前50年。月亮宝石是一块巨大的黄颜色的宝石，曾经是印度一座月神雕像的一部分。一个英国人谋杀了三名教士，从神殿里偷出宝石并带回伦敦。当他姐姐听说了此事之后，再也不跟他说话了。宝石被诅咒了，这个人也过着没有亲人和朋友的哀伤寂寞的生活。在他去世的时候，作为一种报复，他把月亮宝石留给了自己姐姐的女儿--雷切尔，同时也把坏的运气传给她。雷切尔将在自己18岁生日的宴会上收到月亮宝石作为礼物。

雷切尔.柯林斯是一个漂亮、富有的年轻女士。她跟自己的母亲和几个仆人住在英国北部的一所华美的房子里。在生日的前一天，她跟自己童年的伙伴弗兰克林.布莱尔一起在起居室的一扇门上画花鸟，他们一起做得很开心并且在雷切尔生日的当天完成了绘画。弗兰克林是一个抽烟的人，但他对雷切尔非常体贴。仆人们认为他为了让雷切尔高兴而把烟戒掉的行为是他爱上了雷切尔的证据。

月亮宝石是雷切尔生日晚会上最叹为观止的礼物。所有的客人都惊叹它的尺寸和罕见的美丽。但从雷切尔把它系到连衣裙的那一刻起，事情便开始变得不对劲了。是巧合还是月亮宝石的坏运气导致了紧张的气氛以及晚上奇怪事情的发生呢？

首先，其中的一个客人--戈弗雷向雷切尔求婚，但是她拒绝了。戈弗雷是一个优雅成功的单身男子，有着众多的女性追求者。晚餐后，弗兰克林提到自从戒了烟后他便一直休息不好，一位本地的坎迪医生主动提出要给他开个药方。弗兰克林回答说医生无非是凭猜想来开药方，这让坎迪医生十分恼怒。最后，一些穿着不寻常的外国服饰的印度人进来为客人表演，但是他们的表演很不专业而且行为怪异。

晚会的最后客人们都离开了，剩下弗兰克林和戈弗雷留下过夜。睡觉前雷切尔把宝石放到了起居室橱柜的一个抽屉里，但第二天早晨宝石不见了。被丢失了这样一件贵重的宝石所困扰，雷切尔的妈妈雇佣了著名的侦探--卡夫巡佐来侦察这起偷窃案。随着故事的发展，我们发现了当晚在场的人的一些秘密以及他们可能偷走宝石的原因。

首先，卡夫巡佐怀疑是印度人。他发现他们并不是真正的表演者，而是虔诚的月神的追随者。他们在世界各地寻找月亮宝石，等待一个机会把它重新带回印度。侦探猜测是不是他们把月亮宝石藏在屋里的什么地方，等到每个人都睡着了，然后把它偷走。

他继续询问有关晚会的问题，知道了弗兰克林和坎迪医生的争吵。他也听说了戈弗雷在向雷切尔求婚遭到拒绝后非常失望。坎迪医生或者戈弗雷会拿走宝石作为丢脸的报复吗？

仆人们也有机会偷走宝石。卡夫巡佐发现一个叫罗萨那的女仆在雷切尔的妈妈给她这个工作之前是个小偷。其他的仆人说她最近被发现在自己的房间里忙着做什么事一直到很晚，而且经常自己一个人散步。罗萨那也非常喜欢弗兰克林。侦探坚信她要么是“旧病”复发偷走了宝石，要么想在雷切尔和弗兰克林之间制造矛盾。

最后他考虑到雷切尔和弗兰克林。雷切尔非常顽固地抵制他关于月亮宝石的询问，甚至到了好像她不想让这个秘密被揭开的地步。是她自己偷走了宝石吗？也许她有需要偿还的债务。弗兰克林，跟她相反，给了侦探尽可能多的帮助。为什么在这个明显让雷切尔厌烦的侦察中他却表现得这样热情呢?

卡夫巡佐有一个致命的线索。他在雷切尔起居室的门还没有干的颜料上面发现了晚会的时候并不存在的污点。有罪的人的衣服上一定会有污迹。如果他找到了带有污迹的衣服，他就找到了小偷。那么是谁偷走了月亮宝石呢？
