1. Struggle on
My brothers
and sisters.I want you to know that the struggle
that we will face
through
the remaining period of the eighties and on
through the twenty-first century will not be an
easy one.
It is fraught
with pitfalls and plagued with setbacks, but we as
a people have developed a resiliency
which has made it possible for us to
survive slavery and vicious discrimination.
We must never tire or
become frustrated by difficulties.
We must transform stumbling blocks into
stepping stones and march on with the
determination
that we will
make America a better nation…
Struggle on: we want more schoolhouses
and less jail houses,
Struggle on: We
want more books and less weapons,
Struggle on: We
want more learning and less vice,
Struggle on: We want more employment
and less crime in our communities
Struggle on: We want more justice and
less vengeance,
Struggle
on: We want more of our children to graduate from
high school able to read and write,
not more on unemployment lines.
Struggle on: We want more statesmen and
less politicians.
Struggle on: We want
more workers in our ranks and less cynics,
Struggle on: We want more hope and less
dope,
Struggle on: We want more faith
and less despair…
坚持斗争
兄弟姐妹们,
我希望你们明白,
我们在八十年代剩余的时间里乃至整个二十一世纪所要面临
的都将不是一场
轻松的斗争,
这其中充满了危险和曲折。
但是我们民族从奴隶制和万恶歧视下幸存至今,
有着顽强的生命力。<
/p>
我们要永远不知疲惫,在困难面前不灰心丧气。
我们要把绊脚石变成脚踏板,带着把美国变得更美好的决心前进……
坚持斗争,我们要多一些校舍,少一些监狱
坚持斗争,我们要多一些书籍,少一些武器
坚持斗争,我们要多一些知识,少一些罪恶
坚持斗争,我们要多一些工作,社区里少一些犯罪
坚持斗争,我们要多一些正义,少一些报复
< br>坚持斗争,我们要多的孩子中学毕业就能读书写字,而不是更多的人加入失业大军
坚持斗争,我们要多一些国务活动家,少一些政客
坚持斗争,我们要多一些辛勤劳动者,少一些玩世不恭的人
坚持斗争,我们要多一些希望,少一些麻木
坚持斗争,我们要多一些信心,少一些绝望
2. Why are Y
ou Laughing?
Thus laughter gradually became
established as a capacity among virtually all
human beings.
In
addition,
laughter’s infectious quality helped distribute it
as a ch
aracteristic common to all
mankind. Laughter was
advantageous; therefore it ne likes a good
laughter;
he brings good cheer with him
wherever he goes,the very thought of him makes
life more bearable.
Even
today our most highly paid entertainers are not
tragedians but comedians.
Laughter is
infectious, and most of us go out of our way to
acquire the infection.
We
cannot think that it was otherwise in
the earlier days of man’s evolution,
and
if
that
was
indeed
so,
then
it
would
follow
that
the
capacity
to
laugh
would
tend
to
become
increasingly
distributed as a trait common to all
men.
In society, laughter became a
characteristic
that served to
“humanized” men
,
because it
is essentially a social phenomenon,

largely controlled by the civilization
in which it takes place.
The times change, and the situations
about which laughter is acceptable change
correspondingly.
A few
hundred years ago it was socially acceptable to
laugh at the infirmities of others;
today it is unacceptable.
In the western world it is not
customary to smile at the reprimands of others,as
it is in Japan. Personalities should
smile or laugh in their photographs,
but college professors should look
serious.
Each of these
examples underscores laughter’s social
function.
这样,笑就逐渐成为全人类的一种能力。
此外,笑的感染力有助于把笑作为全人类共有的一种特性进行传播。
笑是有益的,所以笑就流传了下来。
大家都喜欢善于笑的人,无论他到何处,都带着令人愉快的欢笑,
一想起他就会使生活变得比较可以忍受的了。
就是在今天,享有高薪的娱乐者仍是喜剧演员。
笑具有感染力,我们中的大多数人都乐于接受这种感染。
p>
我们认为,在人类进化早期,情况不会与此相反。果真如此的话,那么就会得出这样的结论:
笑这种能力会倾向于不断的传播,从而成为全人类共有的一种
特性。
在社会中,笑成为一种特性,它可使人“具有人性”<
/p>
,因为笑实质上是一种社会现象,在很大程度上是受到
它所产生的
那个文明的制约。
时代在前进,作为能使笑成为可接受的周围
的情景也在相应的改变。
曾在几百年前,嘲笑别人的缺陷,还
是受到社会接受的。而今天则不能接受了。
在西方社会,人们
不习惯于当别人责骂时,还去微笑,但在日本却可以。
电影明
星应在照片中微笑或大笑,而大学教授则应表现的严肃些。
这些例子都强调了笑的社会作用。
Your Mind Wonder
Until recently
daydreaming was generally considered either a
waste of time or a symptom of neurotic tendencies,
and habitual daydreaming
was regarded as evidence of maladjustment or an
escape from
life’s
realities and responsibilities.
It
was
believed
that
habitual
daydreaming
would
eventually
distance
people
from
society
and
reduce
their
effectiveness in coping with real
problems.
At its best,
daydreaming was considered a compensatory
substitute for the real things in life.
As with anything carried to excess,
daydreaming can be harmful.
There are always those who would
substitute fantasy lives for the rewards of real
activity.
But such extremes
are relatively rare,
and
there is a growing body of evidence to support the
fact that most people suffer from a lack of
daydreaming rather than an
excess of it.
We are now
beginning to learn how valuable it really is and
that when individuals are completely prevented
from
daydreaming, their emotional
balance can be disturbed.
Not only are they less able to deal
with the pressures of day-to-day existence,
but also their self-control
and self-direction become endangered.
Recent research indicates that
daydreaming is part of daily life and
that a certain amount each day is
essential for maintaining equilibrium.
Daydreaming, science has discovered, is
an effective relaxation technique.
But its beneficial effects go beyond
this. Experiments show that daydreaming
significantly contributes
to intellectual growth, powers of concentration,
and the ability to
interact
and communicate with others.
