Part Four: Monologue
I work in the human resources department of my company, and it is often my responsibility to hire new employees. When trying to fill open positions within the company, I have certain qualities that I look for in a potential employee. Are they dedicated and hard working? Are they willing to be trained? Do their interests and career goals match those of the company? It’s difficult choosing the right candidate and I want to be sure that both the company and the employee will benefit from one another. Relevant experience and educational background are important as well, but there is more required in finding the best person for the job.
--Steve Peters, Human Resources Division
我在公司的人力资源部工作,我的工作职责通常是招聘新的员工。当公司有空缺需要招聘人员的时候,我会留意在未来的员工身上是否有以下的品质:他们是否敬业?是否工作努力?他们是否乐意接受培训?他们的兴趣和事业目标是否与公司的一致?招到合适的人选不容易,我也希望能够确保公司和员工之间能够双方受益。招聘最合适的人担任某项工作,相关的经验和教育背景很重要,但是还有更多的要求。

“When I was a student I was broke*, so I took a part-time job to help support myself. I needed something that wouldn’t interfere with my class schedule. I found a job at the local supemp3arket working twenty hours a week in the evenings. Mostly I took inventory and stocked the shelves. The work itself wasn’t so interesting and it was hard for me to find the time to study. It was good for me though; I got some practical working experience and I learned a lot about how to manage
my time. And plus, money. I mean, hey, who can complain about that?‖ --Cristoph Burleson
我读书的时候真是穷得叮当响,因此我做一份兼职工作赚钱养活自己。我需要一份不与我的课程安排相冲突的工作。在当地的超市我找到了一份工作,每个星期在晚上干20个小时。
工作主要是编列存货清单,填充货架。工作本身不太有趣,而且自己也挤不出时间来学习。但还是有好处的,我获得了一些实际的工作经验。而且还学会了更好地分配自己的时间。而
且,我还能赚钱。我的意思是,我可没有什么抱怨的。

Part Four: Monologue
“Traveling involves so much stress! Preparation is especially hard - trying to arrange the transportation, accommodation, and time off from work. Packing isn’t easy. How can you possibly know everything you may or may not need in a place that’s largely unknown to you? Assuming you ever reach your destination, you have to communicate with people who often don’t speak your language and you have to navigate your way around an area you have no idea about. How are you supposed to relax under such conditions? And all that money you’re spending! For what? I don’t get it at all.‖
--George Threadborne, disgruntled traveler 旅行的压力太大了。准备工作尤其艰难,要安排交通、食宿,还要告假。行李收拾也不容易。在一个你一无所知的地方,你怎么可能预料什么对你有用什么又对你没用?假设你到达你的目的地,你必须和那些通常不和你讲同一国语言的人交流。还要在一个你毫不熟悉的地方探路。在这样的情况下你怎么可能放松?还有,想想旅行要花的钱!这到底是为了什么?我可不知道。

Part Four: Monologue
“Almost everyone knows the painting, Mona Lisa, but not everyone knows of its bizarre history. It was sold to the king of France, and later Napoleon hung it in his own bedroom. Then, in 1911, it was stolen from the Louvre by an Italian man. Apparently, he simply put the painting under his shoulder and walked out the front door. Museum attendants didn’t even notice the painting was missing until a day or so later. The Mona Lisa turned up after about a year and a half in the shop of an antique dealer in Italy. The man who had stolen the painting wanted it back in the artist’s home country and, after his mission accomplished, he was seen as a national hero by many. Italian authorities then returned it to the Louvre Museum, where it now hangs behind bullet proof glass.‖ 每个人都知道蒙娜·丽莎这幅画,可是并非人人了解她的离奇的历史。她早先是卖给了法国国王,随后拿破仑把她挂在自己的卧室里。之后,在1911年,她被一个意大利人从卢浮宫偷走。很明显,这个人只是把这幅画夹在自己的腋下从前门走出去。在画被偷走的一两天之后,卢浮宫的服务人员才发现画被盗。约一年半之后,蒙娜·丽莎出现在意大利的一家古董店里。当年偷了此画的人想让她重新回到画家的国家,任务完成之后,他也被很多人视为一个民族英雄。之后意大利当局把她归还给卢浮宫,现在这幅画正悬挂在宫内的防弹玻璃窗后面。

Part Four: Monologue
“Unlike in other parts of the world, it is both customary and expected for customers to tip the servers when going out to restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in America. At most places, servers don’t get paid usual wages. Rather, they take home their daily tips as a salary. The average tip that each customer must pay is about 20% of the bill, depending on the service and on the quality of the restaurant. If paying with a credit card, the customer writes the tip in the space below the cost of the meal and then adds it into the total payment. If paying in cash, the customer first pays the server the price of the meal and then leaves the tip on the table before exiting the restaurant.‖ 与世界其他国家不同,在美国,当外出就餐、上酒吧、去咖啡馆的时候,顾客最好能给服务生一些小费,这也是一种惯例。在很多地方,服务生并不拿一般意义上的工资,相反,他们拿回家的薪金往往是他们的日常小费所得。每位顾客所给的小费约是账单的20%的数额,这还视服务质量和饭店档次而定。如果是以信用卡付账,顾客会把小费数额写在账单下方,将其计入总花费里。如果是以现金付款的话,顾客先付餐费,然后在离开饭店之前,把小费留在桌上(给服务生)。

Part four: monologue Carl’s Note:
Americans call football ―soccer‖ because they call American football ―football.‖ Don’t let the names of the games fool you, though, they are very different. American football is more like rugby than football. Except for one or two special plays, players use their hands to carry or throw the ball. Usually only one player throws the ball, he is called the quarterback. The quarterback tries to lead his team’s offense down a 100-yard (a little less than 100 meters) field by passing (throwing) the ball or giving it to another player who runs with it. If the quarterback’s team carries the ball across the 100th yard, then they score a touchdown. The defense tries to keep the offense from scoring touchdowns by grabbing the player with the ball and pulling him to the ground. If the offense cannot move 10 yards forward in four plays, it must give the ball to the other team. 卡尔的话:
美国人称足球(football)为soccer, 因为football在美国英语中意为“橄榄球”。他们之间大相径庭,因而不要被名字糊弄。美式足球与其称之为足球,倒不如称之为橄榄球。除了一两个特殊的球之外,球员们都是用手带球或投球。通常只有一个球员传球,这个队员就是四分卫。四分卫试图带领自己队的进攻队员沿着100码长(略短于100米)的球场传球或带球。如果四分卫这方成功地带球穿过100码的球场,那边获得触地得分。防守方则尽力阻止进攻方获得触地得分,他们可以擒抱带球的球员并把他拖到地上。如果在四次发球机会内进攻方都不能带过10码的场地,球将交由另一方控制。
Part Five: Vocabulary and Phrases --homerun 本垒打

Part Four: Monologue
Carl’s Note:
Extreme sports are very new in America. They usually come from people trying the craziest things. Bungee jumping is a good example. Someone tied a bungee cord to himself one day and jumped off of a very tall bridge. Bungee cords stretch a lot, so the person lived, but he took a big risk to find out if his idea would work. Another extreme sport is snowboarding. A skier decided to stand sideways on one piece of wood to get down the mountain instead of using two skis. People like these dangerous sports because they are exciting. They often do them for ―the rush‖ they get. The first extreme sport might have been mountaineering, or mountain climbing. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mt. Everest, gave another reason for doing something so dangerous. When asked why he climbed the world’s tallest mountain, he replied, ―Because it was there.‖ 卡尔的话:
极限运动在美国还很新鲜。通常是喜欢尝试刺激的人参加极限运动。蹦极跳就是一个很好的例子。某天某人用橡皮筋套住自己,然后从一个很高的桥上跳下。橡皮筋有很好的伸张力,所以这个人不会有生命危险,但是要证实自己的想法是否管用还是具有很大的冒险性。另外
一个极限运动的例子则是滑雪。一位滑雪者决定使用其中一块木板,侧面站在这块木板上滑下山坡而不是使用两块滑板。人们之所以喜欢这种危险的运动是因为这些运动够刺激。往往就是为了那一股“冲劲”。最早的极限运动可能就是登山,或者叫做登山运动。艾得蒙•希拉里爵士是第一个爬上珠穆朗玛峰的人,他道出了之所以从事这些危险举动的另一个原因。当问到他为什么会选择攀爬世界第一高峰的时候,他回答:因为它在那里。
Part Five: Vocabulary and Phrases --extreme 极端的,极度的 --rappel 用绳索(垂直)下降 --climb (n. & v.) 爬,攀登;登上 --exhilarating 令人振奋的;使人高兴的 --terrifying令人害怕地;惊人地 --plummet 笔直落下 --waterfall 瀑布 --nature 自然;自然界
--wild

Part Four: Monologue Carl’s Note:
Since it is played on ice, ice hockey is popular in Canada and the northern parts of the United States. It is a lot like soccer, but because it is played on ice skates and on a smaller playing area, it is much faster and more violent. For example, it is legal to force another player into the wall of the ice rink. This is called checking. The offense uses a stick with a flat blade one end to try to put a small, hard, rubber disk, called the puck, into the defense’s net. Professional hockey players can shoot the puck at over 100 miles per hour, so the goalies have to wear heavy pads and a hard plastic mask to prevent injuries. Hockey is a very exciting game to watch and play. 卡尔的话:
冰球在冰上举行,因而它在加拿大和美国的北部地方非常受欢迎。它和足球又很多相似之处,但是由于是穿冰鞋进行而且场地范围更小,因此冰球(运动)速度更快也更为暴力。比如说,把对方球员逼入冰场的墙根是不犯规的,这就是称之为“阻挡”。进攻的一方使用一根一端为扁平击球板的棍子将一个橡胶制圆盘击入防守队员的网内,这个圆盘形状小,质地较硬,叫做“冰球”。职业的冰球手击球的速度达到每小时100英里,所以守门员必须身着沉重的衬垫、戴着硬塑胶的面具来避免受伤。冰球是一项供观赏和参与的非常刺激的运动。

Part Four: Monologue
Carl’s Note:
Americans often go to their doctor and dentists when they are not sick. They hope to prevent being sick by having their teeth cleaned and their health checked. Therefore, they see the doctor and dentist for check-ups. Doctors check their breathing, heartbeat, ears, eyes, and throat, their weight, take samples of patient’s fluids to run tests, and look for signs of more serious illnesses. Dentists clean a patient’s teeth, and take x-rays to see if any teeth are going bad. More and more, Americans and the people who take care of their health are practicing this kind of preventive medicine. 卡尔的话:
美国人在身体健全的时候也经常去看医生或者看牙医。他们希望通过清洁牙齿和检查身体来预防疾病。因此,他们会找医生或者牙医进行检查。医生通常会检查他们的呼吸情况、心跳、耳朵、眼睛和咽喉,还会测量体重、取病人的尿样进行检测,同时还会查找可能患严重疾病的征兆。牙医则会帮助清洁病人牙齿,并且用激光检测是否有坏牙。越来越多的美国人和关心自己健康的人正加入这种预防医学的行列。

Part Four: Monologue
There is only one number in America to call for all emergencies, 911. When you call 911, you are asked if you need the police, the fire department, or an ambulance. For health emergencies, an ambulance is sent to your location and takes you to the hospital’s emergency room. At the emergency room, a nurse checks on your injury and assigns you a place in line to see the doctor. If you are truly dying, you will see the doctor right away. If you have a cut or a broken amp3, you may need to wait. In this way, the doctors are able to try to help the people who most need help. It is important to remember this and try to patient.
在美国遇到紧急事件,911是唯一可拨的电话号码。当你拨911后,电话里会有人问你是要找警察、消防队还是需要急救车。要是事关医疗紧急状况,急救车便会派往你所在的地址并且把你带去急救室。在急救室,护士检查你的伤势并按顺序安排你看医生。如果病人接近死亡的话,医生便会马上赶来。如果只是被切伤或手臂摔伤,则需要等候。这样,医生才尽可能帮助最需要帮助的人。牢记这点非常重要,而且要切记耐心。

“Sexually transmitted disease, or STD, is a serious social problem facing the world today. Fortunately, education can do a lot to control this problem. Education is particularly important for diseases such as AIDS and herpes, for which no cure exists. We must educate our society’s sexually active citizens to prevent the spread of these diseases. At the very least, we should make it clear that the use of a condom during sex will keep people from getting these diseases. We should also try to calm people’s fears. For example, we must make it clear they cannot get AIDS by doing certain things, such as kissing or sharing a meal. We cannot guarantee that people will listen, but the effort must be made to let them know what the dangers are, and how to prevent them.‖
——Dr. Anne Motts U.S. Center for Disease Control
性传染疾病或者称之为STD,是当今世界面临的严重的社会问题。幸运的是,教育能在很大程度上对其进行控制。对于象艾滋病、疱疹这样的至今没有药物医治的疾病来说,教育尤为重要。我们必须教育社会中进行性接触的市民对这些疾病进行预防。至少,我们能够告知
其明白在性行为过程中戴安全套可以防止感染疾病。我们也应该尽力消除市民的恐惧心理。比如说,我们必须使他们明白接吻或者共餐等特定活动并不会感染艾滋病。我们无法保证人
人会听,但是付出一定努力告知他们什么是危险以及如何避免这种危险却是必要的。 —— 安妮·莫特医生 美国疾病控制中心

A lot of money goes into these schools and the programs are usually of a high quality, yet the tuition fees are often more than the average person can afford. Others think that given a good administration and teachers who care, public schools can offer good educations as well. One problem is that classes in public schools tend to have many more students than private schools, and therefore individual attention can sometimes suffer. Generally, however, quality is based on the individual schools and student interests rather than whether the schools are publicly or privately funded.‖ 当今,关于什么才是给予学生的最好的教育这个问题是有很大争议的。有些人认为私立学校是首选。这些学校聚集了大批资金,因而通常有着较高的教学质量。然而学费却不是一般人能够支付得起的。另有些人则认为如果学校管理较好,老师也负责任的话,公立学校同样也能够提供良好的教育环境。问题之一是公立学校的班级人数往往比私立学校的多,因而,个人受注意的程度便会降低。然而,一般说来,质量跟各所学校各自的情况及学生的兴趣有关,而不是看学校到底是政府出资还是个人集资。
