LESSON 1

HOW MARX LEARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGES
马克思怎样学习外语




Karl Marx was born in Germany, and German was his native language. When he was still a young man,
he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went
to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went to England and made London the base for
his revolutionary work.



Marx had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English
was
too
limited.
He
started
working
hard
to
improve
it.
He
made
such
rapid
progress
that
before
long
he
began to write articles in English for an American newspaper.

In fact, his English in one of these articles was
so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it.

Marx wrote back to say that Engels' praise had
greatly
encouraged
him.
However,
he
went
on
to
explain
that
he
was
not
too
sure
about
two
things
--
the
grammar and some of the idioms.



These letters were written in 1853. In the years that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it.
When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he
was able to write the book in English.



In the 1870s, when Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in Russia,
so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in
Russian.



In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language.

He said when people
are learning a foreign language, they should not translate everything into their own language. If they do this, it
shows they have not mastered it. When they used the foreign language, they should try to forget all about their
own. If they cannot do this, they have not really learned the spirit of the foreign language and cannot use it
freely.

These ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working hard to turn them into realities.




Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We will visit a boy named Charlie Green.
He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the
doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires to Charlie's room. These wires are called sensors. She places
one sensor in his mouth and one on his chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead.
Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code
little light flashes on the wall. The Green's wireless telephone is ready for a call.




Mrs Green says

Charlie does so.










The phone call and the examination are finished.

THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

盲人和象




Once upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every day they went to the
road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one, for ,
being blind, how could they?


One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was
passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a

The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to

head can see that he's exactly like a rope.


Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about
the elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast
looked like.

LESSON 4

GALILEO AND ARISTOTLE
伽利略和亚里斯多德




About 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He observed that feathers
fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy
objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonale. But we now know that it
is not true.


In
those
days
people
seldom
did
experiments
to
test
their
ideas.
When
they
observed
anything
that
happened,
they
thought
about
it
and
then
drew
a
conclusion.
Once
Aristotle
made
up
his
mind
that
heavy
objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle,
the great thinker, no one questioned his idea for almost 2000 years.


Then,
almost
400
years
ago,
an
Italian
scientist
named
Galileo
began
to
question
Aristotle's
theory
of
falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so. He decided to do some
experiments to test Aristotle's theory.


Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the
tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same
speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every time he got the same result.
At last, he decided that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light
objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the
air holds the feather back more than it does the stone.


When Galileo told people of his discovery, no one would belive him. But Galileo was not discouraged.
He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could
study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move around the sun.


Today
we
praise
Galileo
and
call
him
one
of
the
founders
of
modern
science.
He
observed
things
carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test and prove an idea before he
was ready to accept it.


An experiment was done on the moon in July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first deep
space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the
moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileo's theory of falling objects is true.

LESSON 5

THE LOST NECKLACE
丢失的项链


Place:

a park in Paris
Time:


a summer afternoon in 1870
People: Mathilde Loisel, wife






Pierre Loisel, husband






Jeanne Forrestier, their friend

(Jeanne is sitting in the park. Mathilde walks towards her, she stops and speaks to Jeanne.)
Mathilde:

Good afternoon, Jeanne.
Jeanne:




(Looking at the other woman)

I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you.
Mathilde: No, you wouldn't, but many years ago you knew me well. I'm Mathilde Loisel.
Jeanne:


Mathilde! My old school friend. Is it possible? But yes, of course it is. Now I remember. Where
have you been all these years, Mathilde? I hope you weren't ill.
Mathilde: No, Jeanne, I wasn't ill. You see here an old woman. But it's because of hard work - ten years of
hard work.

Jeanne:



But
I
don't
understand,
Mathilde.
There's
only
one
year
between
us;
I'm
thirty- five
and
you're
thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that much?
Mathilde: Yes, it can. Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to
rest. That has been my life for these past ten years.
Jeanne:


Mathilde! I didin't know. I'm sorry. But what happened?
Mathilde:

Well, I would rather not tell you.
Jeanne:



Oh, come, Mathilde .Surely you can tell an old friend.
Mathilde: Well, ... Well, it was all necause of that necklace. Your necklace.
Jeanne:



My necklace?
Mathilde:

Do
you
remember
one
afternoon
ten
years
ago
when
I
came
to
your
house
and
borrowed
a
diamond necklace?
Jeanne:



Let
me
think.
Ten
years
ago...
Oh,
yes,
I
remember.
You
were
going
to
the
palace
with
your
husband, I think.
Mathilde:

Right.
Pierre
was
working
in
a
govenrment
office,
and
for
the
first
time
in
our
lives
we
were
invited to an important ball.
(The scene changed to that evening in the home of Pierre and Mathilde Loisel.)
Pierre:






Yes, Mathilde, we're going to the ball, the palace ball!
Mathilde:


I can't believe it!
Piere:







But it's true.
Mathilde:

Oh, Piere, how wonderful! But I haven't got a dress for the ball!
Pierre
；




What does a new evening dress cost?
Mathilde:

Mathilde: About four hundred francs.
Pierre:





Four hundred! That's a lot of money.

But perhaps, just this once, we'll use what we have to get
a new dress for you. This ball is very important to me. I was the only person in my office who was invited.
Mathilde:

Thank you, Pierre, you're so kind. Oh, but there's one other thing...
Pierre:





What is it, Mathilde?
Mathlde:


I ... I have no jewelry.
Pierre:





Jewelry? Do you need jewelry? Why not just a flower?
Mathilde:


To go to the palace with just a flower is to say
Pierre:





Can't you borrow some jewelry from a friend, Mathilde?

Mathilde:


Which friend? My friends are all poor, too.

Pierre:





Let me think. How about Jeanne? She married well. Perhaps she has some.
Mathilde:


Ah, yes, Jeanne. She married a man with a lot of money. I'll go and see her on Friday, after I get
the new dress.
Pierre:





I'm sure she has something you can borrow.
(The scene changes back to the park. Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.)
Mathilde:


One Friday I came to see you, Jeanne. Remember?
Jeanne:





Yes, Mathilde, I remember.
Mathilde:



You were very kind. You brought out your jewelry and told me to take anything I wanted.
Jeanne:






(Smiling) You were like a little girl. Your eyes became so big.
Mathilde:



There were so many things and they were all beautiful. It was hard to choose.
Jeanne:





Until you saw the diamond necklace.
Mathlde:




Yes, and then I knew I wanted to borrow the necklace. I didn't want anything else, only the
necklace.
Jeanne:





I'm sure you looked beautiful that evening, Mathilde. You were always a very pretty girl.
Mathilde:



Perhaps in those days I was, but everything changed after that night at the palace.
Jeanne:





Didn't you have a good time at that ball?
Mathilde:




Yes,
a
very
good
time,
but
that
was
the
last
time...
the
last
happy
evening
for
the
next
ten
years.
Jeanne:






But why, Mathilde?
Mathilde:




On the way home I looked down at my dress and saw that the necklace was gone. I told Pierre.
We returned to the palace and looked in every room, but couldn't find it. I never saw your necklace again,
Jeanne.
Jeanne:






But Mathilde, you brought it back to me the next afternoon. I remember very well.
Mathilde:




Yes,
Jeanne,
I
brought
a
necklace
to
you.
It
was
exactly
like
your
necklace
but
it
was
a
different one. I hope it was as good as the one you lent me. It cost us thirty-six thousand francs.
Jeanne:





Thirty-six thousand!

Mathilde:



Yes, Pierre and I brrowed the money and bought it. During the next ten years we both worked
night and day to pay for it. That is why you see this old woman before you now, Jeanne. Well, after all these
years we've paid off all our debts.
Jeanne:






But Mathilde, my dear friend, that wasn't a real diamond necklace you borrowed from me. It
was made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most.

LESSON 6

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

亚伯拉罕·林肯




Abraham Lincoln, the son of a poor family, was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. He spent his
childhood in hard work, helping his father on their small farm. His mother, who he loved dearly, died in 1818.
Happily for him, his father' s second wife was kind to him too. When she saw that Abraham liked reading, she
did
all
she
could
to
help
him.
But
the
family
was
poor
and
the
boy
could
not
get
many
books.
Abraham
Lincoln later said himself that he only went to school a little now and little then. His whole school education
added up to no more than one year.


As
a
young
man
he
was
a
storekeeper
and
later
a
postmaster.
He
studied
law
in
his
spare
time
and
became a lawyer. He was active in politics and strongly against slavery. In all his political life, he thought of
building a free state for all the people.


In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. Then he worked still harder for
freedom for the slaves. Soon the Southern states rebelled. They set up a state of their own, where they would
be
free
to
keep Negroes
as slaves.
Lincoln
said
that
it
was
not
right
for
the
south
to
break
away
from
the
Union. Fighting broke out between the North and the South. This was the American Civil War. The war lasted
four years before the North won in the end. The nation was reunioned and the slaves were set free.


In 1864, Lincoln was elected President of the United States for the second time. But his enemies, the
slave owners in the South and the bankers in big cities, who had grown rich on the work of the slaves, could
not let Lincoln continue his work. He, who led the United States through these years, was shot on April 14,
1865, at a theatre in Washington, D.C. and died early the next morning. The whole nation was in deep sorrow
at this news, for the people had come to love him as an inspiring leader, and a wise, warm-hearted, honest
man.


About seventeen months before his death, at the opening of a memorial to the many men who lost their
lives fighting for the freedom of the Negroes, Abraham Lincoln told his people that the living must finish the
work of those dead; that they must fight for freedom for all-Negroes and whites; that America must strengthen
government of the people, by the people and for the people.


Today, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of the greatest of all American presidents.



LESSON 7

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
皇帝的新装




Many years ago there lived an Emperor, who cared more for fine new clothes than for anything else. He
had different clothes for every hour of the day.


One day two cheats camt to see the Emperor. They called themselves weavers and said that they knew
how
to
weave
cloth
of
the
most
beautiful
colors
and
designs
in
the
world.
They
also
said
that
the
most
interesting
thing
about
the
cloth
was
that
clothes
made
of
it
would
be
invisible
to
anyone
who
was
either
stupid or unfit for his office.



I shall be able to find out which men in my empire are unfit for their offices. And I shall be able to tell who
are wise and who are foolish. This cloth must be woven for me right away.


The Emperor gave the cheats some gold in order that they might begin their work at once.


So
the
two
men
set
up
two
looms
and
pretended
to
be
working
very
hard.
They
asked
for
the
most
beautiful silk and the best gold thread. This they kept for themselves. And then they went on with their work
at the empty looms until late into the night.


After some time had passed, the Emperor said to himself,
with my cloth.
the cloth. Though he believed that he ought to have nothing to fear for himself, he wanted someone else to
look at the cloth first.


The Emperor thought a while and decided to send his old Prime Minister to see the cloth. He thought the
Prime Minister a wise, honest man who was more fit for his office than anyone else.


So the old Prinme Minister went into the hall where the cheats were working at the empty looms.



careful not to say so.


The men who were pretending to weave asked him to come closer. They pointed to the empty looms and
asked him if he liked the design and the colors.


The poor old Prime Minister opend his eyes wid wider, but he could see nothing on the looms.



not see the cloth.

Emperor how wonderful they are.


The
Emperor
was
pleased
by
what
the
Prime
Minister
told
him
about
the
cloth.
Soon
after,
he
sent
another official to find out how soon the cloth would be ready. The same thing happened. The official could
see nothing, but he sang high praise for the cloth. When he got back, he told the Emperor that the cloth was
beautiful indeed.


All the people in the city were now talking about this wonderful cloth which the Emperor had ordered ro
be woven for so much they were eager to know how


wise or foolish their friends and neighbors
might be.

LESSON 8

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES(Continued)
皇帝的新装（续）




Now at last the Emperor wished to go himself and see the cloth while it was still on the looms. He took
with him a few of his officials, including the old Prinme Minister and the official who had already been there.


As soon as the weavers heard the Emperor coming, they pretended to work harder than ever, though they
were not weaving a single thread through the empty looms.

they
said,
while
pointing
to
the
empty
looms.
They
thought
that

The
officials
could
see
no
more
than
the
Emperor,
but
they
all
shouted,
‘

this splendid cloth for the coming great procession.


They Emperor nodded. He cried hard to pretend to share in the pleasure of his officials and gave each of
the weavers a medal.


The
night
before
the
procession,
the
two
men
had
their
lights
burning
all
night
long.
They
wanted
everyone to see how hard they were workingon the Emperor's new clothes.


At last they cried,


Then the Emperor arrived with his hgh officials.

your
clothes,
Your
Majesty,
we
will

new
clothes

mirror,


The Emperor was then undressed, and the cheats pretened to dress him in his new clothes. The Emperor
turned from side to side in front of the mirrior.



splendid design! And what colors!



And he turned again in front of the mirror, in order to make the others think he was looking at his new clothes.





And so the procession began.


The Emperor walked in the middle of the procession, through the streets of the city. And all the people
standing by and those at the windows cried out,
perfect fit!



No one dared say that he could not see the Emperor's new clothes.


Suddenly a little child's voice was heard:








What the child had said was whispered from one to the other.





The cry was taken up and soon everyone was noddng and saying,


The Emperor heard the cries. He felt very silly, for he knew that the people were right. But he thought,



So the Emperor held his head higher than ever. And the two officials who were following him took great
trouble to hold up higher the train of the robe that wasn't there at all.

LESSON 9

LADY SILKWORM
蚕花娘子




Long long ago, there lived in Hangzhou a girl called Aqiao. When Aqiao was nine years old, her mother
died. Her father remarried and the stepmother was cruel to Aqiao and her brother.


One winter morning, the stepmother told Aqiao to go out and cut some grass for the sheep. The poor girl,

with a basket on her back, searched all day from the riverside to the foot of the mountain. But where could she
find any green grass in winter? She was tired, cold and hungry, but she was afraid to go home and face her
stepmother.


As she walked along, she noticed an old pine tree ahead at the entrance to a valley. Aqiao pushed the
branches aside. She saw a brook with red flowers and green grass on both sides. She bent down immediately
to cut the grass. She went on cutting and cutting until she came to the end of the brook. She stood up to wipe
the sweat off her face. Suddenly she saw a lady all in white standing in front of her. The lady was smiling.





Aqiao looked around. To her surprise, she found herself in a different world. There were rows of white
houses with trees in front of them. The leaves on the trees were green and large. And there were many other
ladies in white, who


were singing and picking the leaves from the trees.


Aqiao liked what she saw and decided to stay.


After that she worked together with the ladies in white. They picked leaves from the trees, and fed them
to some little white worms. Slowly, the little worms would grow up and spit out silk to form cocoons. The
lady in white told Aqiao how to reel the shining silk from these cocoons and how to dye the silk different
colors.


Time passed quickly and three months went by before Aqiao knew it.


One day, Aqiao thought of her brother:


Early
next
morning,
without
telling
the
lady
in
white,
she
hurried
back
home.
When
left,
Aqiao
took
some silkworm eggs and a bag of mulberry seeds with her. As she walked, she dropped the seeds along the
road so that she would know the way back.


When Aqiao reached home, she found that her father had grown old and her brother had become a young
man. The cruel stepmother had died.


It had been fifteen years since she left!





Aqiao told her father all that had happened. Her father thought that she must have met a fairy.


The next day Aqiao decided to go back to the valley with her brother. But when she opened the door, she
found things had changed. The road was lined with mulberry trees. All the seeds she had dropped had grown
into trees. She walked along the trail of mulberry trees until she came to the valley. The old pine tree still
stood there like an umbrella covering the entrance, but she could no longer find a way to get into the valley.
So all she could do was to go back home.


It was said that that was how the Chinese first raised silkworms. The lady in white whom Aqiao met in
the valley was Lady Silkworm, the fairy in charge of the harvesting of silk.
