Apprentice interview

"Well Jim, you can approach my desk now. I have done an appraisal of your application to be my apprentice, and I have a few questions for you. You don't seem to have any apparent experience in working with large aquatic appliances. You do know that the aquariums I clean and make are not for goldfish or restaurant shelves, right?"

"Ummm. You mean you can put minnows in them too?"

"No. I mean they put sharks, manta rays, whales, and seals in them! Well, I applaud your effort and appreciate your coming across town for this interview, but you don’t have the experience or aptitude that is usually required for this type of apprenticeship. I just can't approve hiring you."

"Thank you, sir.” I am very appreciative of your apt assessment of my qualifications. But

I believe you are wrong and I would like to appeal, uhhh, to you to give me approval to at least be your apprentice for an approximate test period. I know I don't know anything about aquariums. I don't even know an approximate amount of information about them! I come from the desert where arable land is a rare thing. But that's why I came to California, to work with water, sir. And I know you approve of determination. Well sir, I have that and I hope you will give me a try."

"Hmmm. Okay Jimmy, I'11 take a risk and give you a try. I will appoint you for a three-month test period. We' 11 take a look at how you' re doing in three months and go from there."

"Thank you, sir! You won't be disappointed!"

“[FONT=宋体]好了，吉姆，现在你可以到我的桌子这儿来了。我已经对你要求作我学徒的申请做了评估，现在我要问你几个问题。你好像明显没有任何使用大型水生器械的经验。你一定知道我清理和制造的水族箱不是用来养金鱼或是用来放在餐厅搁架上的，对吧[/FONT]?”

“[FONT=宋体]嗯，您是说里面也可以放些小鱼吗[/FONT]?”

“[FONT=宋体]不，我的意思是里边放鲨鱼、蝠鲼、鲸鱼和海豹。对，我对你的努力表示欢迎，也感谢你跑过来面试，可是你不具备这份学徒工作通常要求的经验和才能。我实在不能批准雇用你。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]谢谢您，先生。您对我的资格做出了恰当的评价，我对此表示感激。但是我确信您错了，我恳求您准许我成为您的学徒，至少让我干大约一个试用期的时间。我知道自己对水族箱知之甚少，甚至连大致了解都算不上。我来自沙漠地区，那里可耕种的土地非常稀少。但这正是我来到加州的原因，要找个和水有关的工作，先生。我也知道您认可做事有决心的人。先生，我有决心，希望您能让我尝试一下。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]嗯，好吧，吉米，我就冒险让你尝试一下，任命你干三个月的试用期。我们要看看你在这三个月内干得如何，然后再做打算。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]谢谢您，先生，您不会失望的。[/FONT]”

Animation announcement

Animation announcement

Welcome to the 23rd Annual Animation Anniversary. I'm Dick Proctor, your host for the evening and I' d like to open with a couple of words about recent developments. I don’t have any funny anecdotes like I did last year; I got myself in enough trouble with a couple of those. But you' 11 get plenty of comedy with our main speaker, Mr. Jerry Sprainer.

I'm first proud to say that we have had appalling success in computer animation over this past year. Tiny boxes on our tables called computers have replaced ancient technique in animation. Tools we used ten years ago are on display at the local museum. Drawing apparatus from five years ago are collector's items with the status of antiques. And that device I used last week has already tripled in price! Some antagonism still remains among a few annoying old-timers that we all still love, honor and respect, but we all anticipate a bright future for animation on computers.

Anyway, I would now like to announce the beginning of a new animation movie project set in the Antarctic that will continue to merge traditional and computer animation. This project has full funding, will test even newer technology and, while the story is still only anecdotal, anticipation is great. We hope to annihilate other movies released in competition with this project at the box office.

Anyhow, if there are no further announcements, and before they pull me off the stage, I would like to introduce our main speaker, a man for whom there is no apathy, Mr. Jerry Sprainer.

[FONT=宋体]动画电影开拍发布会[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]欢迎参加第[/FONT]23[FONT=宋体]届年度动画片纪念活动。我是今晚的主持人迪克[/FONT]•[FONT=宋体]普罗克特。首先我想简单介绍一下最近的发展情况，我不会像去年那样给你们讲趣闻轶事，因为一些所谓的故事给我惹足了麻烦，但我们的重要发言人杰里[/FONT]•[FONT=宋体]斯普兰纳先生会让你们笑个够。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]首先我要自豪地宣布，过去一年我们在电脑．动画制作方面取得了惊人的成就。我们上的这些叫做电脑的小盒子已经取代了古老的动画制作方法。十年前我们使用的动画制作工具现在已经陈列在地方博物馆了。五年前使用的绘画设备已经被收藏家作为古董收藏。上个星期我刚刚使用过的设备身价已经涨了三倍。少数几个大家仍然爱戴、尊重和敬仰同时又很讨厌的守旧者还是存有敌对情绪，可我们都期望电脑动画有一个美好的未来。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]无论如何，现在我要宣布，一部新的动画电影即将在南极洲开拍，它将继续使传统动画与电脑动画相结合。这部电影拍摄资金充足，将试验更新的技术，尽管故事仍然只是趣闻轶事，但大家都寄予了厚望。我们希望在票房收入上一举打败与它竞争的其他影片。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]不管怎样，如果没有其他的事情要宣布，在他们赶我下台之前，我要介绍我们的重要发[/FONT]

Animal testing[FONT=宋体]动物实验[/FONT]

Animal testing

"It was always my ambition to be a research analyst studying amphibian anatomy for the benefit of mankind." Said Dr. Cull to the high school students touring the laboratory. "My ancestors were all scientists and my father taught me that it is simply amazing to appreciate all of the anatomical detail in each creature. There is nothing amorphous about them. I also hope that through my research we can understand the impacts of our society on these creatures so that we can know how to ameliorate environmental problems and amend our wrongs. Frogs, for example, are an indicator of environmental pollution"

"You are very ambitious, Dr. Cull." A bright, amber-haired girl said. "So you are looking for analogies between animals and humans?"

"Yes, and there are already ample findings amid the analogues we already have. We know much about how anesthetics work, for example, based on clinical trials with rats."

"Ooowww. I disagree with using animals for tests!" Another student suddenly said.

"Some people think that the ethics of using animals for testing are fairly ambiguous. But the amount of knowledge we have amassed about health, vaccines, antibiotics etc. is incredible. Many of your daily amenities are based on results from animal research. There is really nothing amateurish or careless slx)ut animal testing." Replied the Doctor.

"But I've seen videos of the amateur conditions in different research facilities and things look pretty bad for animals." Interjected yet another high school student.

"I see we've hit on an interesting topic. Let's step into this conference room and discuss this further."

[FONT=宋体]动物实验[/FONT]

“[FONT=宋体]我那时的抱负一直是做研究分析员，研究两栖动物解剖，造福人类。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]卡尔博士对前来参观实验室的高中生们说，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]我的祖先们都是科学家，我父亲教导我说，欣赏每种生物的所有结构细节真的很惊人。这些结构细节没有任何不规则之处。我也希望通过我的研究让大家明白社会对这些生物的影响，这样我们就可以改善环境问题，改正我们的过错。比如说青蛙就是一种环境污染的指示生物。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]您可真是雄心勃勃，卡尔博士。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]一名头发呈琥珀色的聪明女生说道，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]那么您正在寻找人和动物之间的相似之处喽[/FONT]?”

“[FONT=宋体]是的，在我们已有的相似物中已经有大量发现了。比如说，根据在老鼠身上进行的临床实验，我们对麻醉剂如何起作用已经有了很深入的了解。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]啊啊[/FONT]...[FONT=宋体]，我可不同意用动物做实验[/FONT]!”[FONT=宋体]另一名学生突然说道。[/FONT]

“[FONT=宋体]有些人认为用动物做实验的道德准则是相当模棱两可的，但是我们通过实验积累的有关健康、疫苗、抗生素等方面的知识量却是惊人的。我们日常生活中很多可供享受的东西都是以动物研究为基础的。动物实验可不是外行或者粗心的人能做的事情。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]博士回答道。[/FONT]

“[FONT=宋体]可我看过一些录像带，不同的研究设施中有许多东西都很不专业，动物的状况看上去很糟糕。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]又一名高中生插话道。[/FONT]

“[FONT=宋体]看来我们触及到了二个有趣的话题，那就进会议室做进一步的讨论吧。[/FONT]”

An honorable entry[FONT=宋体]体面的入场[/FONT]

An honorable entry

The acclaimed academic, Dr. Sir Walter T.J. Fitzbody, accompanied the equally accessible expert of aboriginal history, Dr. Mugambe H. C. Carriky, slowly to the platform to accept his National Science Foundation Award. Both were noted for their absenteeism, rarely seen in public and still marveled at for their abnormal usage of double abbreviations in their

names. That it was Dr. Carriky, the former pupil of Dr. Fitzbody who was receiving this life-time award before his mentor was only minor. Dr. Fitzbody knew that academia was not always fair and, having always been rather accommodating for his favorite student anyhow, was taking the event as an honor to his work as well.

When Dr. Carriky accidentally tripped over the toe of a person with his leg extended too far into the aisle, the gasps of the crowd conveniently covered the abusive words that came

out of Dr. Carriky's mouth. The man did not take the abuse kindly, however, and abandoning all respect, began to rise to respond to the guest of honor. Dr. Fitzbody, sensing trouble, quickly accelerated towards the stage. It did not matter that an accessory of his robe was lost to the floor as they escaped. The rest of the audience, sensing a need for accommodation, politely gave clear access so that no further mishaps would occur.

Having accomplished their entry, Dr. Fitzbody began his introduction of Dr. Carriky. He gently smiled and said a joke that related the fall to a historical abstraction. The crowd laughed in relief and breathed easily as they knew that honor and dignity had been restored.

Accreditation crisis[FONT=宋体]资格鉴定危机[/FONT]

Accreditation crisis

Dave' s business acumen was sorely questioned when the first round of accreditation for his music school failed. His partners accused him of not accumulating a qualified staff, his accountant acquiesced that his bookkeeping was not orderly, and his wife said he wasn't as acquainted with the process as he should have been. Regardless of the accuracy of the complaints, Dave felt an acute pain; it was as if he was drinking acid. How could his friends all abandon him so quickly when troubles came? Dave knew that if he ever wanted to achieve anything else in his life after this, he would first have to overcome this emotional acupuncture, acknowledge his mistakes and move on.

His first step Ms to adapt to the situation and keep his acquisitive partners from selling whet he had started to the highest bidder. TO do this he quickly acquired the report on what had been successfully accredited and what had failed. He was surprised to find that his school had only failed on one point, the acoustics of their main music hall. That meant that everything else was fine, that it was a success except for that one thing!

At the meeting the next day with all parties involved, Dave presented the report and his plan for hew they could improve the acoustics of the hall and then activate e a second round of accreditation meetings. Everyone was happy except for the partners. They had already viewed the school as a failed acquisition and it was hard for them to adjust their thinking. Dave was quick, however, and encouraged them that this was still a successful item in their accumulation of a diversified portfolio. They agreed and the school was licensed three months later.

An adaptable administration

An adaptable administration



Last Advent our local Catholic Church adopted a new policy for dealing with teenagers struggling through adolescence. The new priest, originally from New York, addressed the issue that day in his sermon about adjusting our view to administer help to those young people who were helpless, without support and suffering during this difficult time of life. This would include dealing with drug addicts, young single mothers, and youth with disciplinary problems that most people simply wanted to avoid, It was admittedly a controversial talk, but his words spoke to us all and we all decided to be adaptable to trying something new for our community.

The local catholic administration was more adverse to the concept. They did not want to have troublemakers adjacent to lonely widows, young children, orphans and others that the church was already adept at dealing with. The new priest gave his admission to this and promised to build a separate addition for the adolescents he would work with. He also agreed to adhere to all traditional administrative procedures and to submit to their ultimate authority.

The adaptation to the Church’s focus was a great success. Troubled youth began coming in and out of the new building adjoining the Church with smiles on their faces and a renewed hope for life. And while it was advisable forthe priest to work with a team of volunteers, each adolescent began to see him as the father that they had never had. Lives were changed, needs were met, and attendance grew. The administration was very pleased.

Tomorrow is Advent again. It has been One year since we changed our outlook and we have much to celebrate!

[FONT=宋体]随机应变的管理部门[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]上次降临节的时候，本地天主教堂采取了一项新政策帮助那些青春期有问题的青少年。新牧师来自纽约，在那天的布道当中谈到了这个问题，他让大家调整看法，给那些在这个困难时期无助、无援而且饱受痛苦的年轻人以帮助，其中包括帮助瘾君子、年轻的单身妈妈以及那些大部分人不愿理睬的不良少年。无可否认，牧师的这段话容易引起争议，但他的话引起了大家的兴趣，于是我们决定适应新形势，为社区建设做一些新的尝试。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]我们这里的天主教管理部门对这个观念更加充满了敌意。他们不想让那些捣蛋鬼们邻近独守空房的寡妇、小孩子、孤儿以及其他人，因为教堂已经很擅长于照顾这些人。新牧师对此表示接受并且答应对教堂进行单独的扩建，供他开展帮助青少年的工作使用。他还同意遵守所有传统管理程序，服从他们的最高权威。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]对教堂工作重点的适应取得了巨大的成功。那些问题青年开始在田比连教堂的新建筑中进进出出，每个人脸上都带着微笑，对生活重新充满了希望。尽管牧师与一群志愿者们一起工作可能更明智一些，每个青少年都已经开始把他看成是他们不曾有过的父亲。生活得到了改变，需要得到了满足，来参加活动的人越来越多。教会管理部门对此非常满意。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]明天又是降临节。我们改变观点已经有一年了，我们有很多东西值得庆祝。[/FONT]

The price of an affluent so

The price of an affluent society

"An affluent society cannot afford advocates of its own destruction. A society that can destroy itself is an aggravated society suffering from an ailment that needs to be cured."

These were the thoughts of the secret agent as he prepared to afflict harm on Hamilton Smith, the leader of a prominent government advisory committee. Mr. Smith was determined to affect the course of history by affirming a new order. He wanted to destroy all that was good and begin again with how he thought a country should run.

This agenda was unacceptable to the top-secret agency that really ruled the country. And it was this agency that found an agreeable agent to sacrifice himself for his country by murdering Hamilton Smith in front of the world. The affluence of all would only continue thanks to this agent, even though there would never be any affection for his memory or any desire to be affiliated with his tainted name.

As he hung from the bars of the ceiling of the conference hall, the agent was glad he was an aerobics teacher in his spare time. Without all of his physical training this task would have been pure agony. He smiled when he imagined the world's reaction to his killing Hamilton Smith. There was a certain aesthetic that only a few would appreciate.

As he looked down he could see that people were agglomerating around Hamilton Smith already as he was entering the room. This aggregation of people was a problem but there was nothing the agent couldn't deal with. It would make the event even more impressive. When he finally saw Hamilton's head he pulled his gun up to aim. It was show time!

The crazy alchemist[FONT=宋体]疯狂的炼金术士[/FONT]

The crazy alchemist

The alchemist had always been alienated from his peers because of his alarming theories. Only the most alternative universities were willing to allocate small allowances to him to further research his ideas. When he found evidence of aliens living in the highest altitude mountains of the world, he was recognized as an all-round failure. It was therefore even more unfortunate that he was right,

The alchemist ignored' the further alienation and built an alliance of extremists to get physical proof of the alien and to alter the world's view of his theory. When they returned with photos and video of the alien he was sure he would walk down many aisles to claim international awards and financial allocations to test all of his other theories. However, this proof did nothing to alleviate the concerns of his peers that he was truly insane.

When the alchemist was alerted that the aliens were coming down from the mountains and alighting on the roofs of buildings his peers still did not believe what he alleged. When an alien finally walked into the conference room everything changed. In addition to being named chief ambassador to the aliens, the alchemist was allotted more honor than he had ever dreamed. All of his dreams had come true.

The aliens unfortunately suddenly developed an allergy for human beings and started dying. The alchemist found that they were allergic to human hair, developed a cure, and saved the aliens. Now he was the hero of the galaxy!

[FONT=宋体]疯狂的炼金术士[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]由于这位炼金术士提出的理论令人惊恐，他总是被同僚们疏远。只有最另类的大学肯拨小额的津贴让他进一步研究他的思想。当他找到证据证明世界上海拔最高的山上有外星人居住时，他被认为是个全面的失败者。而更为不幸的是，他居然是对的。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]炼金术士没有理会人们对他的进一步疏远，他成立了一个极端分子联盟，以寻找外星人存在的真凭实据，借此改变世人对他的理论的看法。当他们带回外星人的照片和录影带时，他确信他将走过许多条过道领取各种国际大奖和拨款，这样一来他就能证明他提出的所有其他理论了。然而，这一证据并没有减少同僚们的担心，他们认为他的确是疯了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]当炼金术士注意到外星人正从山上下来并且降落在屋顶上时，同僚们还是不相信他的断言。最后一个外星人走进了会议室，一切才发生了改变。炼金术士不仅被任命为首席驻外星大使，而且还被给予了超出他梦想的殊荣。他所有的梦想都变成了现实。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]不幸的是，外星人突然开始对人类过敏起来并且开始死亡。炼金术士发现他们对人类的毛发过敏，于是研制了一种解药，拯救了外星人。现在他成了星系英雄[/FONT]!

Conservative constituent

Conservative constituents

It was no consolation to Miss Elizabeth that she was losing weight. The constituents of her company were very conservative and they had constricted her to a consistent and constrained diet. She had considerable power herself, but they had consolidated together in order to keep her weight at a constant level of decline so as to best increase sales of the clothing line they sold.

Her thinness was becoming conspicuous, however, and television consultants were beginning to tell her to consume more food, for God' s sake! They were forming a sort of loose consortium of considerate people willing to console her and give her positive consultation. This constituted a mutiny to her company, however, and they were planning to lock her in a conservatory to control her before any one else could.

That was when Miss Elizabeth began to slip more and more into depression each day. The consistency of her public appearances declined and people began to construct all kinds of theories as to what was happening. Soon she disappeared altogether. All of the consultative people had not helped. Her constituents had won.

When Miss Elizabeth passed away in her conservatoire and company sales declined drastically, even the most conservative constituents acknowledged that they might have made a mistake. As Miss Elizabeth's younger sister, Miss Delphine, stepped in to take over her sister's share in the company, however, the constituents convinced her as well that she needed to lose weight in order to boost sales. Miss Delphine sadly began the same slide that had takenher sister. No one had learned anything.

[FONT=宋体]当伊丽莎白小姐在音乐学院去世、公司销售额急剧下降时，就连最保守的成员也不得不承认他们或许犯了个错误。然而，当伊丽莎白小姐的妹妹黛尔芬小姐前来继承姐姐在公司里的股份时，成员们也给她劝导了一番，让她相信为了提高公司的销售额，她需要减肥。黛尔芬小姐惨兮兮地开始重蹈姐姐的覆辙，体重日益下降。没有人吸取任何教训。[/FONT]

Failed confrontation[FONT=宋体]对抗失败[/FONT]
Failed confrontation

Barry had never been the person they chose for confrontation of the enemies of conservation, but when he had two consecutive successful meetings with confident businessmen it was the consensus of his organization that he confront the large oil company president scheduled to come to town the next week.

The configuration for his plan was to first ask to have a confidential meeting with the man in a confined location. If this did not work he would ask the man to consent to meeting in a public forum where he would feel safe from aggressive questioning. If the man would not conform, Barry would accept the consequences and address the man there when he met him. There was certain to be conflict with this option, but Barry would talk to the man in as conscientious of a fashion as possible. He simply needed to be confronted.

When the time came for Barry to approach the president of the oil company, however, several of the businessman’s bodyguards connected the signals and saw that Barry might be a problem. They confirmed with each other in their headphones and moved the businessman to a congruent location. Barry never had a chance.

Afterwards Barry knew that no congratulations would be given to him in conjunction with this failed event. As he fell out of consciousness and into sleep that evening in his bed, however, Barry was relieved that nothing bad had happened. He had been brave and consequent to the conservation movement. And there would always be a next time.

[FONT=宋体]大家从来都没想过要选巴里出来与那些资源保护的敌人对抗。可是，在他连续两次成功会晤自信的商人之后，大家就达成了一个共识，让他去面对计划下周要来的大型石油公司总裁。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]巴里的计划是这样一个布局：首先要求在一个限定地点与总裁进行秘密会谈。如果这样不行，他会要求对方同意到一个公共场所见面，在那儿他就不会受到攻击性盘问。如果总裁还是不遵照这个意思，巴里也会接受这样的结果，就在见面的地方跟他说话。这种选择肯定会引起冲突，但是巴里会尽可能用一种真诚的方式和他交谈。他就是需要有人跟他对抗。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]可是等到巴里要去接近石油公司总裁的时候，这位商人的几位保镖联系了种种信号，看出巴里可能会制造麻烦。他们通过耳机互相确认之后，把总裁带到了一个合适的地点。巴里一直没有与他见面的机会。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]后来，巴里了解到，受这次失败的牵连，给他的祝贺也泡汤了。不过，那晚躺在床上失去知觉、昏昏欲睡的时候，巴里如释重负，因为毕竟没有不好的事情发生。他一直很勇敢而且与资源保护运动逻辑上是一致的，总是会有下一次机会的。[/FONT]

Too curious[FONT=宋体]过于好奇[/FONT]

Too curious

Before the conclusion of the concert, Marianne slipped to the Concession Stand for an ice cream cone. When she was there she overheard two men conferring together about their lack of confidence in arresting someone at the end of the performance. Marianne concentrated more to see if she could understand their words. It was none of her concern, of course, but this type of conduct was typical for Marianne.

The name of the person that was conferred upon was too much for her to bear, however, and she bad to confess to herself that this was something she really shouldn't know. As she walked back to her chair she was condemning herself already for being so curious.

Condemnation never worked with Marianne, unfortunately, and she suddenly had the conception to warn the individual. She could not condone his arrest; he was too nice of a friend and a good neighbor.

She stood again and, planning to speak condolences for the death of the son this man had recently lost, she stepped across the concrete stairway that separated her from the man who would soon be arrested. This walkway was not conducive to Marianne' s shoes, however, and she tripped and fell. She tried to grab a hand to stop her, but she only succeeded in pulling a cup of coffee with too much condensed milk across her new dress. And then she passed out.

When Marianne awoke she had no concept of where she was. Eventually she rose to see that everyone was gone and only one kind gentleman was left to help her. She frowned when she realized that her effort to held that man had failed. He had been arrested for sure!

[FONT=宋体]过于好奇[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]音乐会结束之前，玛丽安溜到商摊去买蛋卷冰激凌。在那儿，她无意中听到两个男人在谈话，他们要在演出结束前逮捕某个人，但他们对完成此事没有信心。玛丽安更加集中注意力，看能不能听懂他们所讲的话。当然这件事与她没关系，但玛丽安经常会有偷听这种行为。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]然而，玛丽安实在难以忍受他们在交谈中提到的那个人的名字，她得向自己承认，她真不该知道这件事。她一边走回座位，一边已经在谴责自己不该如此好奇。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]不幸的是，自我谴责对玛丽安来说从来就不管用，她突然动了要给那个人报警的念头。她无法容忍他被捕这件事，因为他是一个那么好的朋友，而且还是位好邻居。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]她再次站起来，准备对这个人刚刚痛失爱子表示慰问。她越过把她和那个不久就会被逮捕的男人隔开的混凝土楼梯，但这种走道不利于玛丽安的鞋子，她绊了一下，跌倒了。她试图抓住一只手不让自己跌倒，结果只碰到一杯加了太多浓缩牛奶的咖啡，把它全泼在她的新裙子上，然后她就失去了知觉。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]玛丽安醒来时，她对自己身在何处一点儿概念也没有。最后，她站了起来，结果发现大家都走了，只有一个好心的先生留下来帮她。意识到帮助那个男人的努力已经落空时，她皱起了眉头。他肯定已经被抓住了！[/FONT]

A complicated composite

A complicated composition

"This piece is filled with more complication than I could ever have conceived of composing." Said the composer to the newspaper journalist. "You see, the song is comprised of a variety of separate elements that are concealed within the song. I concede that they may be hard to detect in the beginning, but like a concave bowl, with everything gathered together in the middle that you can only understand when you come out. You understand in the end as they are compounded in such a manner so that they compliment each other in a beautiful and compulsory finale."

"Yes, I have heard your explanation before, Maestro." Responded the journalist in a kind manner. "And we honor your reputation greatly. But others just cannot comprehend this piece of music that you have written! They say that you have compressed a mix of components from other well-known songs. For them it is not conceivable that there is any order, form or pattern. They say that you have compromised the art form and that there should be some compulsion for you to comply with demands for your withdrawal of this song from the public arena!"

"There may be some compression present. I agree." Defended the composer. "But it is beyond my comprehension why I should remove this piece of art from the public's ear!"

"Well Maestro, it's the public that is having the problem with your song! No one likes it. No one understands it! So no one wants to listen to it!"

“[FONT=宋体]是的，大师，我以前听过你的解释。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]记者友善地回答道，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]我们很尊重您的名声。可是别人就是没法理解您写的这首曲子。他们说，您不过是把其他名曲中的组成部分拿过来压缩到了您的作品中。他们想像不出您这首曲子有任何规律、模式或者风格，他们认为您损害了艺术形式，应该采取些强制措施让您遵从人们的要求，从公共场合把您的这首曲子撤出去[/FONT]!”

“[FONT=宋体]作品中或许存在压缩成分，我同意这种说法。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]作曲家辩解道，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]可我不理解为什么我不能让公众听这首曲子。[/FONT]”

A rant against consumer

A rant against consumerism

"The situation is really not that complicated, Mike. The company simply has a compendium of charges that have been compiled against you and they just don' t want you to work here any more! There's nothing I can do to help you!"

"Aw c'mon, Mr. Moan. We’re old compatriots in this company. We’ve always shared compartments and I thought we had such compatible characteristics! I'm as competent as you are with often more compelling excuses for our bosses as to why we missed the completion of project deadlines! You need me!"

"Actually not, Mike. Ever since they promoted me, they have been compelling me to get rid of you. And please don' t make any comparison to your lying ways and my honest mistakes."

"Okay okay. You are an honest man. But hey, who will get you complementary tickets to see the Bulls if I'm gone?"

"Mike. For now let' s compartmentalize our friendship from work, okay? They have great compensation for you! And if you are in compliance with leaving, they will write a glowing recommendation for you about your competence, so that you can go and get a job with the competition! They've taken all of the complexity out of it for you!"

"Really? So how will they compensate me? Hey, you're right, that's not a complex deal at all. I can take a long vacation! Okay. I'll take it. But no more free tickets for you buddy. You're the competition now! Some kind of friend you turned out to be!"

The commercial life[FONT=宋体]商业生活[/FONT]

The commercial life

"Well folks, commerce for the day has commenced and I am sure we are in for a great day of commodity trading. Other commuters are lined in columns along the highway, at the rail station, and on bus. It is a wonder that the comedy of this life escapes us. But it would take a comet striking the earth to shake us from our comic and absurd ways."

As the commentator continued his running commentary about the day's events, Beth and Lisa simply frowned. "I hate that guy." Said Beth. "He's always so smug as he commits thoughts into our heads whether we like them or not. I have even heard that he gets a bigger commission whenever people complain. It's like there is this committee out there trying to remind us about the combustibility of our commercial life style. I know it's not natural:living in steel buildings, wearing the same suits, driving the same cars day after day. But there is no comparable alternative. I don't want to go back to living in some cave. You can commemorate me at my grave if anyone ever forces me to do that!"

"Yeah, but his commitment and telling the truth are honorable! And I like his command of the English language: He speaks so well! I mean think of it! He's right; every thing we do is about surviving in the economic structure that has been forced on us. I bet if we combined all of the money traded here in one day we could cure cancer and do away with poverty!" Responded Lisa.

Lisa., I never knew you! Said Beth with a frown as she sat down in her cubicle that was identical to that of every other person in the office.

A victory for coeducation

A victory for coeducation

"Well, I hate to say it, but that was a colossal failure!" Said Mr. Wells after he had collected all of the surveys he had passed out. ~I thought there would be coherent arguments against coeducation, as well as a clear majority to keep things the way they are already. But all of the students and colleagues in our very cognitive university setting seem to think that we should change our school code to allow a coed university. Some even want coed dormitories. That won' t happen over my dead body! Do you think there is any way that we can coerce them otherwise?"

"Well, let's first collate the surveys to see what the exact numbers are." Said Mr. MacKenzie in response. "Okay, I've collapsed the results into three categories. It's no coincidence; the majority favors this coarse change in policy just as you said. Well Mr. Wells, I guess that there was really no need for us to collaborate on this issue. We havefailed. We coined several good slogans. Several collocations were brilliant. And the coherence of our arguments was sound. But we have just collided with reality! They want a coed university!"

"Okay. admit defeat." Sighed Mr. Wells. "Let's take this collection of surveys to the library. Oh, watch out! We just avoided a major collision with that biker. Ah well, maybe students will remember some of our coinages later in life."

“[FONT=宋体]嗨，我讨厌提这事，可那实在是个巨大的失败。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]威尔士先生把所有发出去的调查表收上来之后说道，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]我原以为绝大多数人会赞成保持现状而且大家对男女同校会一致持反对意见，可是在我们这个认识能力很强的大学环境里，所有的学生和同事似乎都认为应该改变学校道德标准，允许它变成一所男女同校的大学。有人甚至还想把宿舍也变成男女混住。我死也不会同意他们这么做[/FONT]![FONT=宋体]你认为我们有什么办法强迫他们不那样吗[/FONT]?”

“[FONT=宋体]好，我们先核对一下调查结果，看看具体的数字是什么。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]麦肯锡先生回答道，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]好啦，我已经把调查结果分成三大类。大部分人都如你所说，同意对政策做粗俗的改变，这不是巧合。威尔士先生，我看咱们没必要在这个问题上合作了。咱们输了。我们杜撰了几句不错的口号，有些搭配相当精彩，论点也条理清楚[/FONT]![FONT=宋体]可是我们的做法就是和现实发生了冲突[/FONT]![FONT=宋体]他们想要一所男女同校的大学[/FONT]!”

“[FONT=宋体]好吧，我承认失败了。[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]威尔士先生直叹气，[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]我们把这批收集到的调查表拿到图书馆去吧。啊，小心[/FONT]![FONT=宋体]刚才我们差点儿和那个骑自行车的撞了个正着。嗯，学生们也许以后会记住一些我们创造的新词。[/FONT]”

“[FONT=宋体]是啊，不过他们可能会记住并笑话我们。我们肯定会有翻天覆地的变化，威尔士先生，翻天覆地的变化[/FONT]!”

After the exam

"Oh that was awesome! There was a moment of clarity when the cloud of confusion cleared and I could classify every part of the body in front of me. I thought I would have no clue about some parts, but your coaching was great and I'm sure my classifications were correct and I passed the test!" Said Mary as she clutched the coat she had just been given from the cloakroom. “I was so clumsy a week ago in the clinic. But today everything just clicked. And I know it's totally cliché to say this, but my eyes have really been opened because of you."

"No problem." Replied Jack proudly. "You just had a classic case of pre-test worry. Working with clay dummies always helped me and I thought it might help you. I'm glad also that you climaxed with your preparation right before the test. In the future, just remember that your clients will be real, not made of clay."

"Hey." Said Mary as she grabbed Jack's arm. "I also imagined hearing classical music in my head like you recommended. That really put me at peace."

"That's great. If you passed you will now have clearance to work in real clinical situations. Just cling to the knowledge you have gained and you' 11 be fine."

Mary smiled and looking into Jack's eyes said, "Thanks again so much. You really helped. Hey, do you want to get a bite to eat?"

"I’d love to." Jack replied as Mary slipped her arm in his and they walked happily out of the hospital's side entrance.

The packing of a circus

The packing of a circus

The circus freaks gathered in chronological order around the circumference of the big tent where they had performed shows daily for the past two weeks. Then, like one clan unified in their chore, they clamped on to the large pins holding the tent in place and pulled them out. After that they clamored about in a very civilized manner until they had packed up the large tent, wiped off the wood chips and chopped down the remaining poles to be used as firewood. The wood that they had claimed two weeks ago was now theirs to circulate amongst themselves to help heat the small cabins where they all lived and fight the chill that came every night.

Their efficiency at taking down the tent was cited respectfully in the civilian newspaper the following day. This paper had a large circulation and the circus freaks were thankful. Other towns were sure to know they were in the area because of it. They had hoped the article in the paper would also clarify which towns they would be visiting next. But it was a chronic problem that they could not always get the full press that they desired. They were nevertheless civil and accepted whatever promotion they could get. It was the circumstances of civilization that had made them what they were, but they were not going to turn their backs and cause problems. They were just glad to have a home, a clan that was like a big family, and jobs where they could be themselves and make a living.

[FONT=宋体]马戏团的成立[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]马戏爱好者们按时间顺序聚在了大帐篷的四周。在过去两周里，他们每天都在这个大帐篷里表演节目。接着，就像一个部落里的人一起干家务活一样，他们钳住固定帐篷的大铁钉，把它们拔了出来。之后他们便十分文明地叫嚷起来直到收好大帐篷、清扫完木头碎片并把剩下的柱子砍倒当柴烧。两周前他们要的那些木头现在全是他们的了，他们把这些木头分散到各家各户，给大家居住的小房间取暖，抵御每晚袭来的严寒。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]第二天的民间报纸表扬了他们高效拆除帐篷的事情，字里行间充满敬意。这份报纸的发行量很大，马戏爱好者们对此心存感激。由此，其他城镇的居民肯定知道他们在这个地方。他们希望报道同时会清楚地告诉人们他们接着要去哪个城镇表演。他们希望得到整个新闻界的关注，但这一愿望常常得不到实现，这是个长期存在的问题。不过他们很通情达理，能得到什么样的宣传，他们就接受什么样的宣传。正是文明环境塑造了他们，而他们不想背信弃义制造麻烦。他们就是乐意有个家，有一个像大家庭一样的部落，同时还有工作，这样他们不仅可以活得自在，而且还能养活自己。[/FONT]

The death of a loser[FONT=宋体]失败者之死[/FONT]

The death of a loser

The charcoal wiped across Big Al's face certified that he was serious about fighting Terence here and now. There was no more charity in Big Al's face and his charm had all but disappeared. Chaos was all that was in his eyes and there was no charter stating what would be allowed and not allowed in the fight: it would be 'anything goes.' This was one bad character; some long dead gladiator was probably being channeled into him even now.

There was also no doubt in Terence’s mind that Big A1 was Lisa's champion. Big A1 cherished her more than Terence did, and that was all that mattered to Lisa. She was one chic who only wanted to be loved by the biggest man. And she knew Terrance was no challenge for Big Al.

Big A1 charged. He hit Terence like a chartered bus and as Terence fell to the ground he saw the mental checklist of things he still had to do in life disappear. He felt cheated. But this was just characteristic of his life: whenever he thought things were going well, that was when they would end. He had even given Lisa a baby chick that morning to show her that he thought she was the coolest. She loved it and chattered that he was so sweet.

When Terence's death certification arrived at Lisa's door the following week, she placed it at the bottom of the chicken cage that he had given her. Then she went and hugged the Doberman Pinscher from Big Al.

A father found[FONT=宋体]认父记[/FONT]

A father found

Mark met his father for the first time at the centennial celebration of the cathedral's construction. Mark was catering for the celebrity-filled ceremony when he heard a caustic voice. There, standing only three meters away was a man with a catching young woman. He was talking on his cellular phone about delivering some certificate as soon as possible.

"No, we need it now. How can we celebrate without the main award? Yes. I know the Bishop has been censured officially, but this event is not about him. I run the biggest cement company in Germany... no, not a ceramic company, you idiot! ... and I am the presiding president of the central committee. You get that certificate here now, or you will cease to have your job. Do you understand? Don't make this a catastrophe or I'll make your life hell!"

Mark looked in amazement. He knew that this was his father based on what his mother had told him. But Mark knew that he should proceed with caution. His father was in a whole other category of people. Mark's mother was just a worker as was he. His father might not even remember her!

But Mark was not so cautious. He approached the man, said who he was and waited for his father's response. His father stared in surprise and then burst out in tears. He wrapped his arms around Mark and said that he had been looking for him and his mother for years. He had even searched every census, all to no avail. Now they were reunited.

The catching young woman smiled as well. His father introduced her and said, "This is your half sister. Welcome to a new family, young man!"



[FONT=宋体]认父记[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]在大教堂建成一百周年的庆祝活动上，马克第一次见到了他的父亲。当时，马克正在为名流云集的庆典提供食物，忽然他听到了尖利刺人的声音。那边，就在离他只有三米远的地方，站着一个男人，身边还有个迷人的年轻女人。男人正对着蜂窝式移动电话讲话，说是要尽快送个什么证书。[/FONT]

“[FONT=宋体]不，我们现在就要。没有主要奖品，我们怎么庆祝[/FONT]?[FONT=宋体]是的，我知道主教受到了官方指责，但这个活动不是为他举办的。我在德国经营最大的水泥公司[/FONT]......[FONT=宋体]不，不是陶瓷制品公司，你这个白痴[/FONT]!......[FONT=宋体]我可是中央委员会主持工作的主席。你现在就把证书给我送过来，要不你就会停职了。明白吗[/FONT]?[FONT=宋体]你别给我捅娄子，否则我让你吃不了兜着走[/FONT]!”

[FONT=宋体]马克惊奇地看着这一切。根据母亲对他讲过的一切，他知道那个男人就是他的父亲。但马克知道，自己必须小心行事。他父亲完全属于另一类人。母亲和他一样都是工人。父亲也许根本就不记得她啦[/FONT]!

[FONT=宋体]但是马克还是不够谨慎。他走近那个男人，亮明了自己的身份，等待着对方的反应。他父亲惊奇地盯着他，然后便泪如泉涌。他伸出双手抱住马克，说多年来他一直在寻找他们母子俩，甚至还查了每一次人口普查资料，结果都没有奏效。现在他们终于团圆了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]那个漂亮的年轻女人也笑了，父亲介绍说：[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]这是你同父异母的妹妹。小伙子，欢迎来到你的新家。[/FONT]”

A caption to love[FONT=宋体]给爱加个说明[/FONT]

A caption to love

When the caravan captain captured Lucy he had no idea that she would soon become the top candidate to be his wife. She was the casualty of a small battle over cargo that he had had at the last town. He had killed those who had fought with him, carving them up into little pieces to be fed to the carnivores that always followed his train. Casting his eyes to the horizon he had seen them coming already. When he looked back he noticed the former grocery store cashier hiding behind a pile of canes. He pulled out his canteen to offer her water. When she came out to accept he grabbed her. She had been his captive ever since.

As they rode away he watched the animals eat the meat of the dead. Some, in their hunger for meat, even cannibalized some of their own. They were capable of anything, the captain thought, just as I am. He catalogued this thought in his head like an entry in a capsule to be viewed at another time. The caption he placed in his head under this thought was, 'animals with unlimited capacity'.

Then he looked at Lucy. She was beautiful and over the last several weeks of traveling across the desert he saw that she had a truly carefree spirit. This attracted him and he canceled his ownership of her to make him his wife. Lucy loved him in return. The captain's caption for Lucy was "capacity to forgive and love her captor." It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

[FONT=宋体]车队队长俘虏露西的时候他可不知道这位姑娘很快会成为队长妻子的最佳人选。在上一个城镇，他为货物的事与别人发生了一场小小的冲突，露西则是当时的受害者。他把反抗的人都杀了，把他们切成小块，喂了那些总是跟在他们火车后面的食肉动物。放眼向地平线望去，他看到他们已经来了。回头一看，他发现杂货店原来那个收银员躲在一堆藤条后面。他拿出水壶给她水喝，她出来接水壶时却被他一把抓住。从那以后露西就成了他的俘虏。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]骑马离开时，他看到食肉动物正在吃死者身上的肉。由于太想吃肉了，有些动物甚至吃掉了一些自己的同类。它们可真是无所不能，队长心想，就像我一样。他把这个想法记在了脑子里，就像是一条以后再看的要点。他在脑子里给这个想法写下的说明是：[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]能力无限的动物。[/FONT]”

[FONT=宋体]然后他看了看露西。她很美，经过过去几个星期的沙漠旅行，他发现她真的是无忧无虑。这一点儿吸引了他，于是他取消了自己对她的主人身份，娶她为妻。露西同样也爱着队长。从长对露西的说明是[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]宽恕及热爱俘获者的能力[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]。一段美满的姻缘从此开始了。[/FONT]

To Catherine[FONT=宋体]游泳去吧[/FONT]

To Catherine

The bungalow at the edge of campus near the lake was not like the burrow Mrs. Catherine had lived in previously. Sure the bureaucracy had taken long enough to finally allow her to move in, and she had had to campaign quite hard. It was a quiet location far from the highway bypass, close to the cafeteria and of better caliber than all of the other bungalows. She imagined that she could be happy here, at least for as long as she could avoid any calamity like the bushfire that had chased her from her last home.

She had never calculated that a move would be so exhausting and she collapsed in her bed. As she looked out of the window she saw a buoy in the water that she had never seen before. Suddenly a bunch of young children burst past her window buzzing with excitement. They stripped off their clothing and jumped in the water tom around the buoy she had just noticed. Soon her beautiful lawn resembled an abandoned campsite with cans thrown everywhere. She looked up at the calendar and moaned: it was Spring Break.

As she looked at the buoyant children on the water, the crowd in her lawn burgeoned into a regular party. She had never taken into her calculations that other people might like the peacefulness of her new bungalow at all. But she decided to play along, got hermsuit on, and went out and joined the party. Soon guests and new friends were going in and out of her home and Mrs. Catherine was happier than ever. A by-product of her good sportsmanship and friendliness was that her name became the buzzword formming at this location.

[FONT=宋体]游泳去吧[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]校园边湖附近那座小屋与凯瑟琳夫人以前的住处是不一样的。当然，官僚们用了很久才终于允许她入住，而且她得下足了功夫。这幢房子地处幽静之处，远离公路支路，离自助餐厅也不远，而且质量比所有其他房子要好。她想自己会在这里住得很开心，至少住到她能躲避丛林大火之类的灾难，上一回搬家就是因为一场丛林大火。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]她从未估计到搬家会这么累人，结果她给累趴下了。她朝窗外望去，看到湖面上漂着一个以前从没见过的救生圈。突然，一群小孩冲中过她的窗口，一边还兴奋地嘁嘁喳喳说着话。他们脱下衣服跳进水中，围着她先前注意到的那个救生圈游起泳来。不一会儿，她那漂亮的草坪就像是一个到处扔满饮料罐、被遗弃了的营地。她抬头一看日历，悲叹道：原来学生放春假了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]在她看着水上快乐的孩子们的时候，她家草坪上的人群已经迅速发展成了一个标准聚会。她可从来没估计到其他人也有可能喜欢她这所新居的宁静。但她还是决定和他们一起玩，她换上泳装，走出家门，加入了聚会。很快客人们和新朋友们就在她家进进出出了。凯瑟琳太太还从来没有这样高兴过。她具有良好的运动员素质，而且为人友善，这给她带来了一个意外的结果，那就是她的名字在那儿成了代替[/FONT]“[FONT=宋体]游泳[/FONT]”[FONT=宋体]的时髦词儿。[/FONT]

Ever for a bee[FONT=宋体]即使是对一只蜜蜂[/FONT]

Ever for a bee…

The brood of bees approached the new field of budding flowers with care. The breeze had changed and there was a strange smell in the air. Something bulky was also here. Several bees quickly browsed the area and noted that the ground was bulging in one portion of the field close to the brink of a cliff. This was also the area with the largest amount of flowers, so the queen bee let her workers make a breakthrough to begin briskly gathering nectar.

It was a brief hesitation, but her breed of bees had always been very careful in choosing new lands. Ever since her breach of her mother' s command and the subsequent breakup of the bulk of their brood, she was even more careful. Her authority in this new group was brittle and, like the fear of a bugbear by all of the young bees, all of the worker bees were watching to see if she would lead well. She had to budget her commands and earn their respect.

This was not her day, however. Suddenly a bee came back to report that the ground was bubbling near the bulging area. And then a buck sprung out of the forest and ran across the field, killing several of her best workers in the process. As she flew over to the area with bubbles she passed over an old brochure for the brewery that was buried beneath. She would bear the brunt of the blame for the deaths of the bees for not being aware of the buck, but at least she could make sure no nectar was harvested from the dangerous bubbling area. She quickly gathered her brood and moved on. Leadership was not easy, even for a bee.

[FONT=宋体]即使是对一只蜜蜂[/FONT]…

[FONT=宋体]那窝蜜蜂小心翼翼地靠近一块从未去过的田野，那里长满了含苞待放的鲜花。微风已经变了，空气中散发着一种怪味，这里还有个庞然大物。几只蜜蜂迅速吃掉了那里的花粉，发现紧靠悬崖边缘的一块地方正在向外膨胀。那块地上开的花儿也最多，所以蜂后让工蜂们来一次突破，开始很快采集花蜜。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]蜜蜂们只做了短暂的迟疑，但是她的这个蜂种选择新地盘时一向很谨慎。[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]自从蜂后违背母亲的命令，随后大部分蜜蜂分裂以来，她就更加小心了。她在这个新群体中的权威岌岌可危，就像所有小蜜蜂都害怕妖怪一样，所有工蜂都拭目以待，看她是不是能当好这个领导。她必须合理安排、指挥得当才能赢得他们的尊重。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]不过，今天她不太走运。突然一只蜜蜂回来报告说，凸起的那块地周围正在冒泡，接着一只雄鹿从森林里跳了出来，它跑过田野，在跑的过程中弄死了她手下几只最优秀的工蜂。她飞过去察看那个冒泡地区，没有注意到地下埋着一本古老的酿酒手册。她将为没有意识到有雄鹿从而导致工蜂丧命的事情负主要责任，至少她可以弄清楚不能从那个危险的冒泡地区采集花蜜。她迅速集合队伍，继续前行。当领导可真不容易，即使是对一只蜜蜂。[/FONT]

Too much brainstorming[FONT=宋体]被献计献策惹怒了[/FONT]

Too much brainstorming

"You' re wrecking my botany experiment! Don’t breach the large tank with the soil samples in it!" Shawn yelled as he bobbed his head back down behind the booth in order to avoid another blunt object that was flying across the room like a blur.

"I don't care about your stupid plant and soil experiments!" Said Michelle. "There is no longer any bond between us. I am sick of all of your boasting about boring into a mountain in Montana to find your bonanza!"

"But it's really there! And I can't cancel our flight booking anymore. We have to go!" Shawn yelled back. Michelle’s only response was to bombard him even more with whatever item she could find. She had left the boundary of polite conversation hours ago and was now bound to make Shawn pay for all of the hours of pointless brainstorming sessions he had forced her into for this stupid idea.

"You can’t boycott your future, Michelle." Shawn boomed. "There is endless bounty there for both of us. I know it's a bold adventure, but if we succeed, then you can buy all of the brand name clothing you want when we get back!"

"I don't believe you!" Michelle yelled back. And then she stopped throwing things and started to cry. Shawn crawled out across the border of his safe zone and boosted himself up to look Michelle in the face.

That was when a huge plate crashed on his head and knocked him out.

"That was a bonus!" Said Michelle as she looked at him on the ground and got up to leave.

A clean escape[FONT=宋体]一逃了之[/FONT]

A clean escape

Butch had been blundering with the blueprints of the factory looking for an exit when an explosion in the bleaching room blasted him out of the main hall, through a window and into a patch of rose blossoms. As he lay there bleeding only slightly he realized that he had been blessed by the blast; in the blink of an eye he had been thrown from the scene of the crime that he had committed. He was also unburned by the hot biodegradable bleach that had covered his body. Bless you St. Peter, he thought.

He quickly moved to blend into the vegetation even more. Policemen had arrived and the vegetation blocked them from seeing Butch. Thank God the roses were in bloom. Without the blooming flowers he would surely have been seen. They didn' t even hesitate as they looked in his direction with blank expressions.

Butch stared, still amazed at his luck. He was no longer bitter at his employers. There would be no way they could blame him for the explosion, it wasn't his fault. And the fire it had started was sure to destroy all evidence of his stealing valuable stock from the accountants' office. It had not been a bilateral decision with his wife to steal those documents, but Butch realized that what was once a bleak future was now, because of a bizarre accident, like a bill of freedom for Butch He would be able to walk away rich, innocent of any suspicion and no longer bound to work with an employer that had almost ruined his life and marriage.

Maybe he wouldn't even tell his wife that he had succeeded....

[FONT=宋体]布奇正拿着工厂的蓝图，四处瞎闯寻找出口，这时漂白室的爆炸把他炸出大厅，从一扇窗户落到了一片玫瑰花中。他躺在那儿，只流了少量的血，他意识到他其实是托了这次爆炸的福。他刚作了案，可眨眼之间自己就被扔出了作案现场。由于身上裹了一层热的能进行生物降解的漂白粉，他连烧伤都没有。祝福你圣彼得，他在心里说道。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]他迅速移动身子以便和植物更好地融为一体。警察已经赶到现场，由于植物的遮挡，他们没有看见布奇。感谢上帝，这些玫瑰正在盛开。如果没有这些繁盛的花朵，布奇肯定被发现了。警察面无表情地朝他这个方向看的时候，他们甚至都没有犹豫一下。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]布奇瞪着眼睛，还在为自己的幸运发呆。他不再怨恨他的雇主了。他们无法把爆炸的责任推到他身上，这又不是他的错。爆炸引起的火灾肯定会毁灭他从会计室窃取有价证券的所有证据。去偷这些文件并不是布奇与妻子双方共同的决定，但是布奇知道，由于一场稀奇古怪的事故，原本渺茫的前途对布奇来说就像一张自由证明。他离开时不仅发了大财，而且不受任何怀疑，甚至不用再为那个差点儿毁了他的生活和婚姻的老板卖命了。[/FONT]

A dog attack[FONT=宋体]狂犬出击[/FONT]

A dog attack

"I bet our bereaved widow had no idea the beast would one day not listen to her husband." Said the bespectacled inspector as he sipped from his hot beverage at the crime scene. "That's why I hate big dogs. I don' t think they have any bias towards people who want them to be their best friend. They just do their bidding and live off their care while they are waiting for the right moment to betray them."

"Well, whether you think the dog knew what he was going to do beforehand or not, it was an ugly attack. Look at the trail of beads that lead down to the beach." Noted a policeman.

"Hmmm. Yes, that is strange." Said the inspector as he bent down to inspect the wounds on the man and then scratched at his beard. "But I don't think the husband was wearing beads." He walked back into the house past the bellows hard at work keeping the furnace running, beset with sudden doubt.

"That was a beneficial insight." He said to the policeman. "I'll be sure to refer to you in the bibliography of my report. Excuse me ma' am. You' re under arrest for the murder of your husband!"

"What?" Said the bewildered woman.

"Yes, ma'am. You murdered your husband, dragged him out of the house and then made the dog bite and chew him after the fact. I know this because of the trail of beads leading to your dead husband and the lack of deep, life threatening dog bites on his body."

"Wow." Said the policeman. "This will be a benchmark in your bid to be promoted to chief inspector."

A balcony with a view[FONT=宋体]观景阳台[/FONT]

A balcony with a view

Dr. Martin watched the preparation for the banquet from the balcony. His wife had banished him from helping because it was in his honor. He wiped the sweat from his bald head in frustration, however, because he loved to bake and run the barbeque himself, even as he loved to manage the distribution of barrels of beer to the bar.

As he leaned on the barrier he heard a bark and turned to look towards the river. Another barge was floating by loaded up with old, discarded car batteries. A recent ballot to ban putting the trash in a local garbage dump had failed and the barge was taking its baggage up the river to the next town. That city had baffled its own residents by offering to accept the trash at a bargain rate. Apparently there was a large area of barren land that they had not been able to use. Now people marching in protest beset that city. More people were jumping on the bandwagon each day. The only winner was the barge company; the deal had saved them from going bankrupt.

It was difficult to balance the needs of society with its desire to protect the environment, thought the Dr] as he frowned. We just have a way of battering this planet even as we feel we need to live more comfortably.

Dr. Martin was brought back quickly to his setting, however, when he heard a noise and looked down to see that his wife had fallen down the basement steps. He ran down to help. His banishment was certainly over now.

[FONT=宋体]马丁博士倚靠在屏障上，忽然听到一声狗叫，于是转过头向河的方向望去。又一艘装满废弃汽车电池的平底驳船缓缓驶过。最近举行的禁止将此类垃圾倒入当地垃圾站的投票失败了，驳船正将这些垃圾包袱运往下一个城镇。那座城市主动要求以便宜的价格接受这些垃圾，这使当地的居民大惑不解。显然，他们有一大片他们还无法利用的贫瘠土地。现在游行抗议的人群包围了城市，每天都有更多的人严厉批评这股潮流。惟一的赢家是运输公司，这笔生意使他们免于破产、起死回生。[/FONT]

After the avalanche[FONT=宋体]雪崩之后[/FONT]

After the avalanche

Mick averted his eyes from the reflection of the sun bouncing off the badge of the ski patrol captain.

"I don't know how it happened for sure." He said. "I was walking up the mountain along the southern axis looking for alpine bacteria when I became aware of movement in the Background Then, when I saw the avalanche I froze. It was an automatic response. Luckily it missed me, but there must have been some kind of backlash because I was swept off my feet onto my backbone by something. And then I woke up and you were here."

"Well, you're lucky you' re okay." Answered the captain. "Others have been less fortunate. Here, you can use my auxiliary skis to help you get down the mountain. They' re all I have available, unless you want to try to walk down on a pair of badminton rackets. Anyhow, you shouldn't come in this area again without being authorized. This is an autonomous managed region and local authorities are real hard-core about their autonomy. In addition, they have noted that temperatures this year are higher than average. This increases the risk of avalanches. They don' t have many avenues to spread this information and warn people because the only way to get here is via aviation. Their attempts to warn potential visitors were to no avail for you, unfortunately, but they are starting to automate a process for obtaining travel permits for others. This will be a method for them to give weather warnings."

"Thanks." Mick said as he strapped on the skis. "It's a beautiful area. I'll be back for sure.

An ancient arena [FONT=宋体]古代竞技场[/FONT] 2

An ancient arena

Welcome you students to this site. Based on the archaeological evidence and artifacts we have found so far, we can ascertain that there was once a great arena here. Those arches over there were the main entrances and these articles that we found over there is the type once worn by gladiators. Take a look at them. The color is still bright because none of the dyes used then were artificial; they were well processed and obviously permanent.

Now if we look at the land closer we can see that that area where the land slopes up is where the gladiators would ascend to greet the leader of the tournament. For many gladiators that was their last ascent ever, they would never arise again.

This array of arbitrary items and weapons found here in the center of the arena arouses the idea in me that the battle was arduous. Note how many are broken.

We can also see from these seeds that we can detect in lower layers of the soil, that aromatic spices were used as part of the celebration and spread throughout the arena. This area was quite dry even back then; these seeds must have come from a much more arboreal area. Other similar archaeological sites have seeds and artifacts from as far as the arctic region.

You may wonder why I can be so articulate, confident and ardent about this information. Well, I'm not being arrogant, this area was simply a main artery of civilization and there are many other similar sites that I have researched all of my life.

[FONT=宋体]古代竞技场[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]欢迎同学们来到这个遗址。[/FONT]•[FONT=宋体]根据我们迄今发现的考古学证据和手工艺品，我们可以确定，这里曾经有一个大竞技场。那边那些拱形物是主要入口，而我们在那儿找到的物品是角斗士们曾经穿过的衣服。大家看一下，衣服的颜色还很鲜亮，因为当时使用的染料都不是人造的，而且它们都经过了很好的加工，显然是永不褪色。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]现在，如果我们更加仔细地观察一下这块地，就会发现那个向上倾斜的地方就是过去角斗士走上去向大赛领导致敬的地方。对很多角斗士来说，那是他们最后一次登高，因为他们再也不会出现了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]在竞技场中心发现的任意这一批物品和武器都会在我心中激发了这样一种想法：角斗士们经历了艰苦的搏斗。注意看损坏了的东西是多少。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]我们还可以从在土壤下层发现的这些种子看出，当时人们在庆祝活动中使用了有香味的调料，并把它们撒遍了整个竞技场。即使在当时，这个地区也很干燥，这些种子准是来自有更多树木的地区。其他类似的考古学遗址还发现了最远来自习北极地区的种子和手工艺品。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]你们可能会奇怪我为什么能把这些信息说得如此清晰、自信而又充满热情。并不是我自大，这地区的确是文明的一根主动脉，而且在我的一生当中，我还研究过许多其他类似的遗址。[/FONT]

An auction

Before we start today's auction let me remind all participants that experts who are authoritative in their fields have authenticated each item. Tax attorneys will also be present at the end of the auction to answer all tax and audit questions. Please note that you can view close-ups of each item on the audiovisual equipment attached to walls throughout the room. Please keep the volume of the headsets just audible, however, as not to disturb your neighbor.

I am now honored to say that all auguries for this auction are excellent. Let us begin!

Our first item is an authentic atlas of the stars drawn by a famous astronomer in the year 1414. We were astounded to have this item be available to you all. Are there any bids? Ah yes, we start the bidding with the audacious former astronaut, Buck Williams, at $ 25,000. Any others? Thank you, sir. The bid is at $ 30,000. Now we have $ 35,000 from the famous athlete Cal Ripken. Yes sir, $ 38,000. Others? And again from Mr. Williams we have $ 40,000. Any others? Mr. Ripken you have attained the item of your choice. The atlas is yours for $ 42,000. I sense a slight asymmetry with your purchasing this item. I was sure Mr. Williams would want to augment his collection, but I guess your competitive attributes got the best of him this time. But this is not an audition for who can compete the best, Mr. Williams. Congratulations!

Now let us move to the next item in the auction.

An asteroid[FONT=宋体]一颗小行星[/FONT]

An asteroid

When the aspiring young man tried to assert his opinion that an asteroid was going to destroy Earth the following year, he was astonished to be kicked out of his association. He though he had assessed the situation clearly, but he had been wrong to think that the assorted gentlemen would believe his core assumptions. He tried to give assurances of their accuracy, but the verbal assault on his theory made him feel as if he had been assassinated.

As he walked out of the building he saw that his most valuable asset, his car, had been stolen. With his aspirations crushed even further he walked home to assemble what was left of his life. He just couldn't stop thinking that those men to whom he had ascribed such wisdom were unable to assume an open mind to consider other ideas. He had aspired so much for their respect, to become assimilated with them. The aspect of this experience that would stay with him the most, however, was the humiliation.

But the day was not over yet. As he turned the corner to his home he began to see the ash in the air. When he looked up he saw that his house had been burned down. He was numb. Luckily the neighbors come over, put their arms around him and assisted him to a nearby home to rest. When the assessor came in to tell him that he didn’t have fire insurance, the young man went white. When he was found dead the next morning, the neighbors pooled together money to pay for his funeral. The association promptly forgot him.

They only remember him 10 months later when the whole world saw with their own eyes that an asteroid was heading straight for earth.

[FONT=宋体]一颗小行星[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]当这位有抱负的年轻人试着宣布他的观点说一颗小行星将在来年摧毁地球时，他被协会扫出了门，这着实让他大吃一惊。他认为对情况作了很清晰的评估，但是认为各位先生会相信他的核心假设却是个错误。他试图让人们对他的理论准确性充满信心，可是对他的理论的语言攻击让他觉得好像他已经被暗杀了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]走出大楼时，他发现他最宝贵的财产[/FONT]---[FONT=宋体]汽车被盗了。抱负被进一步扼杀之后，他只好回家去收拾残局。他不禁想，那些他认为那么有智慧的人怎么就不能再考虑其他问题时采取开明的态度呢？他曾经如此渴望获得他们的尊重，如此想被他们同化。然而，这段经历最让他铭心刻骨的方面是他说受的屈辱。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]但是这倒霉的一天还没有结束。在他拐弯回家时，他开始发现空气中有灰末。他抬起头，发现到他家的房子已经被烧毁。他惊呆了，幸好邻居们走过来，他们伸出手来抓住并扶着他到一个附近的人家休息。当估价员过来告诉他说他没有办理火灾险时，他的脸色唰地一下变白了。第二天早上人们发现他死了，邻居们凑钱为他举行葬礼。协会里那帮家伙很快就把他抛在了脑后。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]十个月后，他们才又想起了这个年轻人，因为这时候全世界目睹了一颗小行星径直朝地球撞来。[/FONT]
