>01 Television

Television -- the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.

The word "television", derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image(focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into

electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.

Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.

The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.

Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During

those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors (貨物、服務(wù)、消息等的提供者,供應(yīng)者)of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

當(dāng)這些電子脈沖信號(hào)被輸入一部接收機(jī)(電視機(jī))時(shí)，就可以用 電子學(xué)的方法把脈沖信號(hào)重新恢復(fù)成同一幅圖像。但是，電視不僅僅是一個(gè)電子系統(tǒng)，它還是一種表達(dá)工具和傳播渠道。 因此，電視成了一個(gè)對(duì)其他人發(fā)生影響的強(qiáng)大工具。電視這 個(gè)領(lǐng)域可以根據(jù)其發(fā)射方式分為兩類(lèi)。

第一類(lèi)為廣播電視，通過(guò)電視信號(hào)的寬帶無(wú)線(xiàn)電波 發(fā)射展現(xiàn)在大眾面前；第二類(lèi)為非廣播電視，使用受控的發(fā)射技術(shù)來(lái)滿(mǎn)足個(gè)人以及某些特殊利益群體的需要。電視早已成為大眾媒介。 我們熟悉廣播電視，因?yàn)閺V播電視已經(jīng)以類(lèi)似 目前的方式存在了大約 37 年。

在那些年頭中，電視絕大部分一直由 ABC、NBC、CBS 這 些廣播電視公司控制著，這些廣播電視公司一直是新聞、信息和娛樂(lè)的主要提供者。 這些 廣播業(yè)的巨頭實(shí)際上不僅塑造了電視，而且也塑造了我們對(duì)電視的理解。 我們漸漸把顯像 管看作是娛樂(lè)的來(lái)源，讓自己成為這個(gè)生動(dòng)的媒介的被動(dòng)觀眾。

>02 Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.

Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferringinsteadto provide educationalopportunities that would allowothers tohelp themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.

Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of

technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

>03 American Revolution

The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France

and Russia, when both were already independent nations.

Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was

accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went onworking and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely

knew that a war was on. America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer -- the United States -- based itself squarely on republican principles.

Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament. 美國(guó)革命 美國(guó)革命其實(shí)并不算是一場(chǎng)革命，因?yàn)樗�并未�?dǎo)致完全的和徹底的變化。 這

次革命并不是對(duì)政治和社會(huì)框架的一次突然和猛烈的顛覆，象后來(lái)在已經(jīng)是獨(dú)立國(guó)家的法國(guó) 和俄國(guó)所爆發(fā)的革命那樣。

革命帶來(lái)了重大的變化，但并非翻天覆地，所發(fā)生的只是進(jìn)化 的加速，而不是一場(chǎng)徹底的革命；在沖突期間，人們?nèi)匀簧习�、做禮拜、結(jié)婚、玩耍。 多數(shù)人并沒(méi)有受到實(shí)際戰(zhàn)斗的嚴(yán)重影響。 許多較閉塞的社區(qū)對(duì)這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)幾乎一無(wú)所知。美國(guó) 獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)宣布了三個(gè)現(xiàn)代國(guó)家的誕生，其中一個(gè)是加拿大。

加拿大的第一大批講英語(yǔ)的流 入人口來(lái)自于成千上萬(wàn)英王的效忠者， 這些人從美國(guó)逃到了加拿大。 另一個(gè)國(guó)家是澳大利 亞，因?yàn)槊绹?guó)不再是容納罪犯和欠債者的國(guó)度了，澳大利亞就變成了一個(gè)懲治罪犯的殖民地(注：獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)前，英國(guó)政府將罪犯流放到美國(guó))。 第三個(gè)國(guó)家就是美國(guó)，它完全建立在共和原則基礎(chǔ)上。即使政治上的顛覆也不如人們可能想象的那樣具有革命性。 在一些州，特 別是康涅狄格和羅德島，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)基本上只是承認(rèn)了已經(jīng)存在的殖民地

的自治。

四處被驅(qū)逐的 英國(guó)官員都被本土的統(tǒng)治階級(jí)所替代，這個(gè)統(tǒng)治階級(jí)迅速地以地方權(quán)力機(jī)關(guān)來(lái)替代國(guó)王和議 會(huì)。 >04 Suburbanization

If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed by horse and cart.

But the early factories built in the 1830's and 1840's were located alongwaterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect of employment. In time, the factories were surrounded by proliferating mill towns of apartments and row houses that abutted the older, main cities. As a defense against this encroachment and to enlarge their tax bases, the cities appropriated their industrial neighbors. In1854, for example, the city of Philadelphia annexed most of Philadelphia County. Similar municipal maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New York. Indeed, most great cities of the United States achieved such status only by incorporating the communities along their borders.

With the acceleration of industrial growth came acute urban crowding and accompanying social stress -- conditions that began to approach disastrous proportions when, in 1888, the first commercially successfulelectric traction line was developed. Withina few yearsthe horse-drawn trolleys were retired and electric streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected every major urban area, fostering a wave of suburbanization that transformed the compact industrial city into a dispersed metropolis.This first phase of mass-scale suburbanization was reinforced by the simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle Class, whose desires for

ho

meownership in neighborhoods far from the aging inner city were satisfied by the developers of single-family housing tracts.

郊區(qū)的發(fā)展 如果"郊區(qū)"指的是比已建好的城市內(nèi)部發(fā)展更為迅速的城市邊緣地帶，那 么郊區(qū)化可以說(shuō)始于 1825 年至 1850 年工業(yè)化城市出現(xiàn)期間。

在這之前，城市只是高度密 集的小聚居群。 在其中，人們步行走動(dòng)，商品靠馬車(chē)來(lái)運(yùn)送。 但是建于 18 世紀(jì)三四十年 代的早期工廠位于城邊的航道和鐵路附近，被工作機(jī)會(huì)吸引到這里的成千上萬(wàn)的人們需要住房。 漸漸地，在與舊有的主要城區(qū)相毗鄰的地方，不斷涌現(xiàn)出由排房和公寓樓組成的工人 聚居區(qū)，包圍了工廠。作為對(duì)這種侵蝕的自衛(wèi)，也為了擴(kuò)大它們收稅的地域范圍，城市吞并 了工業(yè)化的臨近地帶，比如 1854 年費(fèi)城的城區(qū)就兼并了費(fèi)縣的絕大部分地區(qū)。 相似的城市 化也發(fā)生在芝加哥和紐約。 今天很多美國(guó)的大城市其實(shí)就是靠吞并它們附近的邊緣地區(qū)而 變成大都會(huì)的。隨著工業(yè)化的加速發(fā)展，城市里出現(xiàn)了嚴(yán)重?fù)頂D和相伴而來(lái)的社會(huì)壓力。 當(dāng)1888 年第一條商業(yè)上成功的電氣化鐵軌被制造出來(lái)時(shí)，壓力開(kāi)始接近危機(jī)的程度。 幾年之內(nèi)，馬車(chē)就被廢棄了，電車(chē)網(wǎng)相互交織連接著各個(gè)重要的城區(qū)，從而形成了一種郊區(qū)化的潮 流，即密集的工業(yè)城市轉(zhuǎn)變成了分散的都市。

此時(shí)城市中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的出現(xiàn)進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)了第一 波大規(guī)模郊區(qū)化。 這些中產(chǎn)階級(jí)希望在遠(yuǎn)離老舊城市的地區(qū)擁有住宅，單一家庭住宅地區(qū) 的開(kāi)發(fā)者滿(mǎn)足了他們的愿望。

>5 Types of Speech

Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.

Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own

set of words to describe familiar objects and events.

It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population

Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard" "colloquial" and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.

語(yǔ)言的類(lèi)型 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)用法包括那些為使用這種語(yǔ)言的大多數(shù)人在任何場(chǎng)合下理解、使用和 接受的詞和短語(yǔ)，而不論該場(chǎng)合是否正式。

這些詞和短語(yǔ)的意義已很確定并被列入了標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 詞典中。 相反，俗語(yǔ)是指那些幾乎所有講這種語(yǔ)言的人都理解并在非正式的口頭或書(shū)面中 使用，卻不適用于更正規(guī)的一些場(chǎng)合的詞和短語(yǔ)。 幾乎所有的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)都屬于俗語(yǔ)，而俚 語(yǔ)指的是為很多講這種語(yǔ)言的人理解但大多數(shù)人不把它們列入好的、正式用法之內(nèi)的詞和短 語(yǔ)；俗語(yǔ)甚至俚語(yǔ)都可能在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)字典中查到，但是字典中會(huì)標(biāo)明它們的性質(zhì)。

俗語(yǔ)和俚語(yǔ) 詞匯的應(yīng)用都是口頭較多、筆頭較少。俗語(yǔ)用法經(jīng)常地被接受為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)用法。 一些俚語(yǔ)也變 成了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)用法，但另外一些俚語(yǔ)只經(jīng)歷了短暫的流行，而后就被棄之不用了。 有時(shí)候，多 數(shù)人從來(lái)不接受某些俚語(yǔ)，但是他們把這些俚語(yǔ)保存到集中記憶中。

每一代人似乎都需要 獨(dú)有的一套詞匯來(lái)描述熟知的物體和事件。 很多語(yǔ)言學(xué)家指出，大量俚語(yǔ)的形成需要三個(gè) 文化條件：第一，對(duì)社會(huì)中新事物的引入和接受；第二，一個(gè)由大量子群構(gòu)成的多樣化人口； 第三，各子群與多數(shù)人口之間的聯(lián)系。最后需要提到的是，"標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語(yǔ)"、"俗語(yǔ)"和"俚語(yǔ)"這些 術(shù)語(yǔ)只是對(duì)研究語(yǔ)言的專(zhuān)家才有用的抽象標(biāo)簽。不論何種語(yǔ)言，只會(huì)有很小一部分使用者能夠意識(shí)到他們是在使用俗語(yǔ)或俚語(yǔ)。 講英語(yǔ)的多數(shù)人能夠在適當(dāng)?shù)膱?chǎng)合中選擇使用所有 這三種語(yǔ)言類(lèi)型。

06 The Language of Music

A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed.

Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements.

Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to soundlike percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

藝術(shù)家之所以偉大在于他們對(duì)音樂(lè)語(yǔ)言駕輕就熟，以致于 可以滿(mǎn)懷喜悅地演出寫(xiě)于任何時(shí)代的作品。

>07 Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies littlefromone setting to the next.

Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the

subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.

There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

上學(xué)與受教育

在美國(guó)，人們通常認(rèn)為上學(xué)是為了受教育。 而現(xiàn)在卻有人認(rèn)為孩子們上學(xué)打斷了他們 受教育的過(guò)程。 這種觀念中的上學(xué)與受教育之間的區(qū)別非常重要。

與上學(xué)相比，教育更具 開(kāi)放性，內(nèi)容更廣泛。 教育不受任何限制。 它可以在任何場(chǎng)合下進(jìn)行，在淋浴時(shí)，在工作 時(shí)，在廚房里或拖拉機(jī)上。

它既包括在學(xué)校所受的正規(guī)教育，也包括一切非正規(guī)教育。 傳 授知識(shí)的人可以是德高望重的老者，可以是收音機(jī)里進(jìn)行政治辯論的人們，可以是小孩子， 也可以是知名的科學(xué)家。 上學(xué)讀書(shū)多少有點(diǎn)可預(yù)見(jiàn)性，而教育往往能帶來(lái)意外的發(fā)現(xiàn)。 與 陌生人的一次隨意談話(huà)可能會(huì)使人認(rèn)識(shí)到自己對(duì)其它宗教其實(shí)所知甚少。

人們從幼時(shí)起就 開(kāi)始受教育。 因此，教育是一個(gè)內(nèi)涵很豐富的詞，它自始至終伴隨人的一生，早在人們上 學(xué)之前就開(kāi)始了。

教育應(yīng)成為人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而，上學(xué)卻是一個(gè)特定的形 式化了的過(guò)程。 在不同場(chǎng)合下，它的基本形式大同小異。 在全國(guó)各地，孩子們幾乎在同一 時(shí)刻到達(dá)學(xué)校，坐在指定的座位上，由一位成年人傳授知識(shí)，使用大致相同的教材，做作業(yè)， 考試等等。

他們所學(xué)的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的一些片斷，如字母表或政府的運(yùn)作，往往受到科目范 圍的限制。

例如，高中生們知道，在課堂上他們沒(méi)法弄清楚他們社區(qū)里政治問(wèn)題的真情， 也不會(huì)了解到最新潮的電影制片人在做哪些嘗試。
