He was sweet, thoughtful, fun-loving and a joyto be around. One day when Tommy was about five years old, he andDebbie were driving to the neighborhood mall. As is the waywith children, out of nowhere, Tommy asked, "Mom, how oldwere you when I was born?"

形影不离的测谎与说谎,总是道高一尺魔高一丈。测谎仪器的日益普及和更新换代说明了其市场前景极其乐观。看样子,谎话不仅会继续说下去,没准儿还会越说越大,越说越花哨。

<正> As more schools are set up today, learning iscompulsory. It is an Ought, even worse, a Must,enforced by regular hours and rigid discipline. And theyoung sneer at the Oughts and resist the Musts with alltheir energy. The feeling often lasts through a lifetime.For too many of us, learning appears to be a surrenderof our own will to external direction, a sort ofenslavement. This is a mistake. Learning is a natural pleasure,inborn and instinctive, one of the essential pleasures ofthe human race. Watch a small child, at an age too youngto have had any mental habits implanted by training.Some delightful films made by the late Dr. Arnold Gesellof Yale University show little creatures who can barely

<正> 《学习的乐趣》这篇文章是美籍苏格兰作家吉尔伯特·哈厄特写。他出生在苏格兰,但一生中大多数时间都在美国度过的,曾在美国哥伦比亚大学任教几十载,是拉丁语和文学教授,更是一位古典学学者、批评家和作家。这篇文章发表于1976年,刊登在美国常青树杂志《读者文摘》上。文章距今虽然已经20多年,但无论从思想内容还是从语言文字上来讲,都令人百读不厌,是一篇值得回味的好文章。(因篇幅所限,本文有删节) 首先我们讨论本篇文章的语言特色及其运用。第一段话中两个大写单词Ought和Must值得我们注意,作者用此二字是有用意的。首先,Ought,Must的使用是相对于本文的中心词Pleasure的,起衬托对比作用,所表达的意思是:如果学习是Oughts和Musts,那学习不会有多少乐趣。再者,让

Not very likely.And why not? Because you would not deliverthe jokes as Letterman does. Of course, the jokes arebasically funny. But David Letterman brings somethingextra to the jokes-his manner of presentation, his vocalinflections, his perfectly timed pauses, his facial expressions,his gestures. All these are part of an expert delivery. No one expects your speech class to transform you intoa multimillion-dollar talk show host. Still, this example
