Unit 7
The Chaser
John Henry Collier
1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street, and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors.
2 He pushed open this door, as he had been told to do, and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table, a rocking-chair, and an ordinary chair. On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.
3 An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper. Alan, without a word, handed him the card he had been given. “Sit down, Mr. Austen,” said the old man very politely. “I am glad to make your acquaintance.”
4 “Is it true,” asked Alan, “that you have a certain mixture that has … er … quite extraordinary effects?”
5 “My dear sir,” replied the old man, “my stock in trade is not very large —I don’t deal in laxatives and teething mixtures — but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.”
6 “Well, the fact is …” began Alan.
7 “Here, for example,” interrupted the old man, reaching for a bottle from the shelf. “Here is a liquid as colourless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy.”
8 “Do you mean it is a poison?” cried Alan, very muc h horrified.
9 “Call it a glove-cleaner if you like,” said the old man indifferently. “Maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried. One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.”
10 “I want nothing of that sort,” said Alan.
11 “Probably it is just as well,” said the old man. “Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousand dollars. Never less. Not a penny less.”
12 “I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive,” said Alan appre hensively.
13 “Oh dear, no,” said the old man. “It would be no good charging that sort of price for
a love potion, for example. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.”
14 “I am glad to hear that,” said Alan.
15 “I look at it like this,” said the old man. “Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.”
16 “So,” said Alan, “you really do sell love potions?”
17 “If I did not sell love potions,” said the old man, reaching for another bottle, “I should not have mentioned the other matter to you. It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential. “
18 “And these potions,” said Alan. “They are not just … just … er …”
19 “Oh, no,” said the old man. “Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. But they include it. Oh, yes they include it. Bountifully, insistently. Everlastingly.”
20 “Dear me!” said Alan, attempting a look of scientific detachment. “How very interesting!”
21 “But consider the spiritual side,” said the old man.
22 “I do, indeed,” said Alan.
23 “For indifference,” said the old man, “they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady — its flavour is imperceptible in orange juice, soup, or cocktails — and however gay and giddy she is, she will change altogether. She will want nothin g but solitude and you.”
24 “I can hardly believe it,” said Alan. “She is so fond of parties.”
25 “She will not like them anymore,” said the old man. “She will be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.”
26 “She will actually be jealous?” cried Alan in a rapture. “Of me?”
27 “Yes, she will want to be everything to you.”
28 “She is, already. Only she doesn’t care about it.”
29 “She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.”
30 “Wonderful!” cried Alan.
31 “She will want to know all you do,” said the old man. “All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad.”
32 “That is love!” cried Alan.
33 “Yes,” said the old man. “How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.”
34 “I can hardly imagine Diana like that!” cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy.
35 “You will not have to use your imagination,” said the old man. “And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you —in the end.”
36 “That will not happen,” said Alan fervently.
37 “Of course not,” said the old man. “Bu t, if it did, you need not worry. She would never divorce you. Oh, no! And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for —uneasiness.”
38 “And how much,” said Alan, “is this wonderful mixture?”
39 “It is not as dear,” said the old man, “as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.”
40 “But the love potion?” said Alan.
41 “Oh, that,” said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking out
a tiny, rather dirty-looking phial. “That is just a dollar.”
42 “I can’t tell you how grateful I am,” said Alan, watching him fill it.
43 “I like to oblige,” said the old man. “Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things. Here you are. You will find it very effective.”
44 “Thank you again,” said Alan. “Good-bye.”
45 “Au revoir,” said the man.
解酒水
艾伦·奥斯丁，紧张得像只小猫，心里七上八下、忐忑不安的进了裴尔街区的一个楼道，黑乎乎的楼梯咯吱咯吱直响。他在昏暗的平台上停了下来，仔细张望了许久，才看到了那扇门，门上那个模糊不清的名字正是他要找的。
按别人说的，他推开了门，门里面是一间很小的屋子，屋里几乎没什么家具，除了一张餐桌，一把摇椅，还有一把普普通通的椅子。一面脏乎乎的暗黄色的墙上搁着两个架子，架子上陈列着十几个瓶瓶罐罐。一位老人正坐在摇椅上，看着报纸。艾伦一言不发把别人给的那张卡片递给了老人。
“请坐，艾伦先生，”老人礼貌地说。“很高兴认识你。”
“是真的吗？”艾伦问，“你真有那种药吗，有--嗯—很神奇效果的哪种药吗？”
“我亲爱的先生，”老人回答到，“我这儿的货不是很多—泻药、长牙药我可没有—不过，我的东西虽不多，品种可也不少。而且我的这些药，它的药效，严格来说，可没一样可以说是普普通通的。”
“嗯，实际上…….”艾伦开口说。
“像这一瓶，” 老人打断艾伦，指着架子上的一瓶药水说，“这瓶药水跟水一样没颜色，也几乎没有味道，掺在水，葡萄酒，或者其它饮料中很难被察觉。就算是进行尸体解剖，就现在所知的方法来说，要发现也很难。”
“你的意思，它是毒药吗？”艾伦惊恐的喊道。
“你要是愿意，称它手套清除剂也可，”老人漠然回答，“也许它可以清除掉手套，我没试过。或者称它生命清除剂也未尝不可，生命有时也需要清除，人类才能得以净化。”
“这东西我可一点都不想要，”艾伦说。
“不要更好，”老人说，“你可知道这东西的价格？一茶匙的量，也够用了，我卖五千美元，绝对不能少，一分也不能少。”
“你的药不会都这么贵吧，”艾伦忧心忡忡。
“噢，亲爱的，不全这么贵，”老人说，“像这爱情水，如果我开这么个价，那可不是个好标价。买爱情水的年轻人很少有五千美元的，要不，他们也不会需要爱情水了。”
“听起来真是让人高兴，”艾伦说。
“我这么想来着，”老人说，“要是一样东西让顾客满意了，当他需要其它东西时，就会再回来，即便是更贵的货物，只要是有必要，省吃俭用他也会凑足了钱来买的。”
“那，”艾伦说，“你真有爱情水卖？”
“没爱情水，”老人说，“我会跟你罗嗦那些吗。一个人要是没点能耐，别人怎会这么信任他。”
“那这些药水，”艾伦说，“他们不会只是--只是—嗯—”
“哦，不会，”老人说，“药效会持久存在，服了这药水，他的爱情之水将会绵绵不断如滔滔江水，偶尔心头掠过的那爱的小浪花，只会是那其中的沧海一粟，当然这种偶尔的爱的浪花自然也有，哦，是，当然包括在内。但他们会源源不断，持之以恒，经久不衰的。”
“哦，天哪！”艾伦说，竭力摆出一副置身之外的神态，“那真太有趣了！”
“你再想想精神方面！”老人说。
“好，我会。“艾伦说。
“她对你不会再漠不关心，”老人说，“却是忠心耿耿。也不会再吹毛求疵而是柔情蜜意。年轻的姑娘只要吃过这么一小点儿爱情水---掺在橙汁、汤汁或是鸡尾酒中，丝毫闻不出味道---不管她之前多会寻欢作乐，吃过后，就会像变了个人似的。什么都不会想，什么都不会要，只会想一个人跟你呆着。”
“真让人难以相信，”艾伦说，“她可喜欢呼朋唤友了。”
“以后她不会喜欢了，”老人说，“她会担心，你在聚会上会碰到漂亮姑娘。”
“她真会嫉妒吗？”艾伦欣喜若狂，“会为我吗？”
“会的，她会希望，对于你来说，她就是你的一切。”
“她已经是我的一切了，早就是了，只是她不在乎而已。”
“服了爱情水后，她会在乎的你，会非非常常在乎你的。你将会是她生命中唯一的乐趣。”
“太棒了！”艾伦叫道。
“她会想知道你所做的一切，”老人说，“当天你所发生的一切，字字句句都想知道。她会想知道你在想些什么，为什么你突然笑了，为什么你会看上去很伤心。”
“这就是爱情！”艾伦叫道。
“对，是爱情，”老人答，“她对你的照顾将会是那样的无微不至！她绝不会让你累着，绝不会让你在风口坐着，对你的饮食她也丝毫不会有疏忽。如果你迟到半小时，她会惶恐不安，担心你是不是被杀了，是不是被哪个狐狸精给迷住了。”
“真难想像戴安娜会成哪样！”艾伦喜不自禁。
“你不需要发挥你的想象力，”老人说，“另外，还有，因为这世上总是不乏狐媚妖艳的女子，万一你以后稍有放纵，也不用担心，最终她会原谅你的。当然，那是会带给她很大的伤害，但最后她还是会原谅你。”
“不会发生那样的事，”艾伦激动地说。
“当然不会，”老人说，“不过，即便发生了，你也用不着担心。她永远不会背弃你，噢，绝对不会！而且，她也绝对不会给你造成一点，一点点的不快。”
“那要多少钱，”艾伦问，“你这神奇的药水。“
“没那个贵，”老人答，“那个手套清除剂，或者我有时会叫它，生命清除剂。没它贵，那要五千美元，绝不能少给一分钱。能奢侈一下买这种药水的，年龄肯定比你大。得存上点钱才买得起这个。”
“那爱情水呢？”艾伦问。
“哦，这个，”老人答到，一边拉开餐桌抽屉，拿出一个看上去又脏又小的药水瓶，“这只要一美元。”
“真不知道该怎么感谢你，”艾伦，看着老人把药水灌进小瓶，说。
“我非常乐意为你们效劳，”老人回道，“那么，如果你们以后生活宽裕点了，才会再回来购卖一些更贵的东西。拿好了，它的药效非常好，这点你以后会知道的。”
“谢谢你，”艾伦说，“再见。”
“Au revoir，（再见）”老人说。

Anne lived in Amsterdam in Netherlands during Would WarⅡ.Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazi .She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said ,”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do ,but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty .”Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the windo w had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…. …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains han ging before very dusty windows. it’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

Unit 9 How to Grow Old 课文翻译
Unit 9 How to Grow Old Bertrand A. Russell 1. In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be, to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather, it is true, was cut off in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remoter ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off. A great-grandmother of mine, who was a friend of Gibbon, lived to the age of ninety-two, and to her last day remained a terror to all her descendants. My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, one who died in infancy, and many miscarriages, as soon as she became a widow devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was one of the founders of Girton College, and worked hard at opening the medical profession to women. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his melancholy and he said that he had just parted fro m his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a dismal existence!” “Madre snaturale,” he replied. But speaking as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable brevity of your future. 2. As regards health, I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome. 3. Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to

Lesson 3 3.3 Steve Forbes on Forbes 我祖父二十世纪初来到美国，他离开苏格兰时身上没有什么钱。连他在内有兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小受到很好的教育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。** 他创办了《福布斯》杂志，报道那些实干家，那些给商业社会带来变革的人。 我祖父常说，做生意不是为了堆积百万财富，而是为了带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司和经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但是焦点一直放在人上面。**对公司而言，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也这样看。 ** 当前世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹么其中，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要哪些可以不必理会。这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底如何经营的，正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。 3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts company Distinguished guests, dear friends: I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.

Lesson 10 10.3 中与欧盟的关系 女士们、先生们、朋友们： 今天，我很荣幸给大家介绍欧盟的一些情况以及欧盟与中国的关系。 欧盟全称为欧洲联盟，是在欧洲共同体基础上由25个（27）独立的国家组成的，目的是为了加强政治、经济和社会合作。原来称“欧共体”或“欧洲经济共同体”。 目前的25个成员国是奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、英国、塞浦路斯（希腊部分）、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、欧兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚。 欧盟25国总面积400万平方公里，接近半个中国的面积。总人口数为4.544亿，排行第三，仅次于中国和印度，约占世界总人口的7%。 欧盟统一货币为欧元，2002年1月1日正式启用。到目前为止，已经有12个欧盟成员国用欧元取代其本国货币。统一货币使人们出门旅行、对比价格更为容易，它还为欧洲的商业往来、刺激增长与竞争创造了一个稳定的环境。 到目前为止，欧盟的国内生产总值逾10万亿美元。作为一个整体，这个规模与它的主要竞争对手美国差不多。经济总量和贸易总额分别占全球25%和35%。 欧盟与中国关系十分友好。今年5月欧盟与中国就建交30周年了。去年，欧盟与中国的进出口贸易总额达到2，000亿欧元。德国是中国最大的贸易伙伴，英国、荷兰名列第二和第三。 欧盟正抓住当前大好的历史机遇——团结曾经分裂的欧洲大陆，创造一个和平、稳定、民主的欧洲。*** 这次欧盟的扩大还将创造一个几乎拥有5亿消费者的统一市场，这个市场饱含经济增长和不断繁荣的极大潜力。 我的话讲完了，谢谢大家！

Unit7TheChaser练习的答案解析综合教程三
Unit 7 The Chaser Key to the Exercises Text comprehension I. Decide which of the following is likely to happen after the story. C II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false. 1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, but it is varied and has extraordinary effects.) 2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 1 3. The price of a glove-cleaner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousand dollars for a teaspoonful, but the love potion is very cheap.) 3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are permanent.) 4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everything to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That is why he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his potion, he can't help "crying." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.) 5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-cleaner, to help them out. It is the "death potion" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.) III. Answer the following questions. 1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl. 2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion and scorn with adoration. It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's company. She will feel jealous of him when her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion. 3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hard
