33 / 37 最新高级英语第三版第二册张汉熙1-6,8课课后答案
英国人甚至比他们所认为的自己更加与众不同,但是同他们所感觉到的自己差不多。
This is because there are fewer fanatical believers among the
English , and at the same time ,below the noisy
arguments ,the abuse and the quarrels, there is a reservoir of
instinctive fellow-feeling,not yet exhausted though it may
not be filling up.
这是因为在英国人当中,没有多少狂热的信徒,同时,在喧闹的争论、谩骂和争吵的背后,储蓄了一种本能的同胞之情,虽然没有满溢但也尚未枯竭。
The real English , who are “different”,who have inherited

cannot feel at home in the contemporary world,
representing the accelerated development of our whole age.

Against this , at least superficially, Englishness seems a poor

merely offering states of mind in place of that rich variety of
things.
34 / 37 最新高级英语第三版第二册张汉熙1-6,8课课后答案
与之相对的是,至少从表面上看来,英国特性似乎是一场不轻眼的影子戏----就像色彩鲜艳的海报旁边的一副模糊的铅笔素描---属于看不见的内心世界,只提供人的心境,而不提供种类繁多的物质用品。但是尽管物质用品是重要的,心境更重要。
But it is worth noting along the way that while America has
been for many years the chief advocate of Admass, America
has shown us too many desperately worried executives
dropping into early graves, too many exhausted salesmen
taking refuge in bars and breaking up their homes ,too many
workmen suffering from monotony or time-and -motion
studies and wondering how the hell they got into these traps
但是,值得注意的是,尽管美国多年来一直是“大众广告”的主要倡导者,美国所展现给我们的是太多忧虑过度的经理英年早逝,太多疲惫不堪的推销员在酒吧里借酒消愁,导致了家庭破裂,太多的工人遭受单调的时间-动作研究之苦,搞不明白他们是如何陷入这些陷阱之中的。
New Englishness , with its relation to the unconscious, its
dependence upon instinct and intuition, cannot break its
links with the past : it has deep long roots.

Furthermore, while Englishness is not hostile to change ,it is
deeply suspicious of change for change’s sake,rejecting the
35 / 37 最新高级英语第三版第二册张汉熙1-6,8课课后答案
idea that we are now committed to some inevitable
mechanical progress.
而且,尽管英国特性对变革没有什么敌意,却极度怀疑为了变革而变革的做法,拒绝那种认为我们必须致力于一些不可避免的机械进步的观点。
Behind the constant bickering , the sudden walk-outs and
strikes , the “blood-mindedness”,which bewilder so many
foreign commentators,is the conflict between Admass ,
offering so much, and the Englishness that instinctively
recoils from Admassian values and life-style.
在不断争吵的背后,困扰了如此多外国时事评论员的突发罢工和故意作对,成了大众广告和英国特性之间的冲突:前者提供了如此多的东西,后者不愿接受大众广告所提倡的价值观和生活方式。
Moreover ,sooner or later they will have to put an end to this
conflict between Admass and what remains of their
Englishness ,coming down decisively on one side or the
other, for they cannot enjoy both together .
并且,他们迟早将结束这场大众广告和他们所保留的英国特性之间的冲突,果断地回到某一方,因为他们不能同时享有二者。

business.

Dictatorships have thrived on majorities that are apathetic
and then frightened , and on minorities that are fanatically
divided,brutally quarrelsome and stupid.
独裁统治在那些冷漠而惶恐的多数人和严重分裂,激烈争吵和愚蠢的少数人之间兴盛起来。
A rather poorer and harder way of life will not defeat them
so long as it is not harder and poorer in spirit, so long as it
still refuses to reject Englishness -for so many centuries the
secret of the islanders oddity and irrationality , their many
weakness , they creative strength.
