Lesson thirteen How to grow old？
老年人應(yīng)如何避免變老？
Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is too great an absorption in the past. One should not live in memories，in regrets for the good old days，or in sadness about friend who are dead. One‘s thoughts must be directed to the future，and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy；one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one‘s emotions used to be more vivid than they are，and one’s mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten，and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.從心理角度來說，老年時期要提防兩種危險。一是沉湎于過去。人不應(yīng)該生活在記憶之中，不要總為一去不復(fù)返的好時光而懊喪，不要總為故去的朋友而悲傷。人的思想應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)向未來，應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)向自己還能有所作為的那些事情上去。要做到這一點并非易事；自己的過去逐漸成了精神負(fù)擔(dān)。人很容易自思自量，感到自己的感情不如以往強烈，思維不如以往敏銳。如果真是如此，就別去想它，假如你根本不去想它，也許這就不會成真。
The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of finding strength in its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives，and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young，you are likely to become a burden to them，unless they are unusually insensible. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them，but one‘s interest should be contemplative and，if possible，philanthropic，but not too emotional.另一件要避免的事，就是依戀子女，希望從他們身上的活力中獲取生命的力量。孩子們長大之后，想過自己的生活，如果你還是像他們小時候那樣關(guān)注他們，你很可能會成為他們的負(fù)擔(dān)，除非他們十分麻木而感覺不到這一點。我不是說不應(yīng)該關(guān)注他們，而是說對他們的關(guān)注應(yīng)該是含蓄的，如果有可能還應(yīng)是寬厚的，但感情上不要過于依賴他們。
Don‘t fear to death，the best way to overcome it is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal，until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede，and your life becomes increasingly part of the universal life.不要害怕死亡，克服怕死心理的最好辦法就是使你的興趣更加廣博，更加超脫具體的個人，直至包圍自我的圍墻一點點地消失，直至你的生命逐漸溶入整個宇宙之中，成為其一部分。
變老階段的暗喻
An individual human existence should be like a river——small at first，narrowly contained within its banks，and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider，the banks recede，the waters flow more quietly，and in the end，without any visible break，they become part of the sea，and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who，in old age，can see his life in this way，will not suffer from the fear of death，since the thing be cares for will continue一個人的生命歷程應(yīng)該是像江河一樣——開始是細(xì)小的，讓兩岸緊緊抱住，然后奔騰直瀉，流過山巖，飛越瀑布，然后河面漸漸變寬，堤岸慢慢后退，水流趨緩，最后不留一絲痕跡地溶入大海，毫無痛苦的失去了自身的存在。垂幕之年這樣看待人生的人，是不會因接近死亡而恐懼和煩惱的，因為他喜愛的事業(yè)會繼續(xù)下去。
作者一生三個牽掛
1.The longing for love. He has sought love，first，because it brings ecstasy，next，because it relieves loneliness. Finally，because in the union of love. He has seen，in a mystic miniature，the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.對愛的渴望。他尋求過愛情，首先是因為它使人心醉神迷，其次因為它能使人擺脫孤獨。最后，從融洽的愛中他看到了一種奇妙的微觀形式，向他預(yù)示了圣人和詩人所想象的天堂
2.The search for knowledge. With equal passion he has sought knowledge.對知識的渴求。他以同樣的熱情尋求知識。
3.Unbearable pity for suffering of mankind. Love and knowledge，so far as they were possible，led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought him back to earth. He longs for alleviate the evil，but he can not，and he too suffer.對人類苦難的深深同情。愛情和知識在其可能性的范圍內(nèi)把他帶到了天堂。但憐憫心總是又把他帶回人間。他渴望減少邪惡，但我無能為力，因而他也感到痛苦。
Lesson fifteen Edison：Inventor of Invention
What was the most important contribution of Edison to people？
It is impossible to measure the importance of Edison by adding up the specific inventions with which his name is associated. Far-reaching as many of them have been in their effect upon modern civilization，the total effect of Edison‘s career surpasses the sum of al of them. He did not merely make the incandescent lamp and the phonograph and innumerable other devices practicable for general use；it was given to him to demonstrate the power of applied science so concretely，to understandably，so convincingly that he altered the mentality of mankind. Because of Edison，more than of any other man，scientific research has an established place in our society：because of the demonstrations he made，the money of taxpayers and stockholders has become available for studies the nature. The lighthouse keeper，83 years old，lived alone on a rock island，took care of the lighthouse and the great lamp，which spoke majestic，silent messages of light to the ships at sea. He was a huge old man with a grizzled beard that came down over his chest.
�。�1）He was hospitable. He welcomed the stranger，Rudolf，warmly，offered him black bread and boiled potatoes，etc. and talked with him earnestly.
�。�2）The lighthouse keeper loved his work and was devoted to his duty .When the storm was coming，he was busy preparing for the storm，attending to the great lamp in the tower，that dominated the whole region.
�。�3）He was equable，deliberate. Even when the storm hammered like a battering ram on the walls of the lighthouse，he sat there，gentle and reflective，as if there was nothing happened. Generally，the lighthouse keeper was a deliberate，equable toiler. He loved life without excessive demands.
lessone six What are the three geographical characteristics of Britain？
The beauty of Britain is as hard to define as it is easy to enjoy.
�。�1）The first characteristic is that it is varied within a small range，It seems that nature has carefully adjusted things-mountains，plants，rivers，lakes，to the scale of the island itself. there is astonishing variety almost everywhere，everything is in miniature. some mountains，for example，although not very high，have all the air of great mountains.
（2）Secondly，surprise goes with variety. the country is full of happy surprises. one can always be pleasantly astonished while traveling.
（3）The third characteristic of the landscape is its exquisite moderation. it has been born of a compromise between wildness and tameness，between nature and man. there is compromise in the surburb，where the inhabitants feel that they have one foot in the city and one in the country. there is also harmony in the country where the cottages fit snugly into the landscape.
