Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. 我们当天的首项任务就是视察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. 这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们脱离黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. 大家坐在树荫下等候着，这时候猩猩们睡醒了，准备脱离。

Then we follow as they wander into the forest. 然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处闲步而去，我们尾随其后。Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. 在大部门时间里，黑猩猩或相互喂食，或相互擦身，这在它们的家庭里是表现爱的方式。Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. 简预先提醒我们，到下午的时候我们就会又脏又累。

她说对了。However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. 不外到薄暮时分我们以为这一切都是值得的。We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. 我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍，厥后瞥见它们晚上一起回窝里睡觉了。

We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. 我明确了猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样精密。Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. 在简之前没有人完全相识黑猩猩的行为。She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. 她花了多年的时间来视察并记载黑猩猩的日常生活。

Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. 从孩童时代起，简就想在动物生活的情况中研究它们。However, this was not easy. 可是，这不是一件简朴的事。

When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. 当她1960年最初来到贡贝时，对女性来说，住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. 她母亲头几个月来帮过她的忙，这才使她得以开始自己的计划。Her work changed the way people think about chimps. 她的事情改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。

For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. 例如说，她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩猎食动物。Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. 在此之前，人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. 而她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的，而她对黑猩猩肢体语言的研究资助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。

For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. 40年来，简∙古道尔一直在呼吁世人相识并尊重这些动物的生活。She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. 她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活，而不能用于娱乐或广告。

She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. 她还为黑猩猩建起了可以宁静生活的掩护区。She is leading a busy life but she says: 她的生活是忙忙碌碌的，然而，正如她所说的："Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. “我一旦停下来，所有的一切都市涌上心头。我就会想起实验室的黑猩猩，太恐怖了。

It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. 每当我看着野生黑猩猩时，这个念头总是萦绕着我。I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" 我会对自己说：‘岂非它们不幸运吗？’ And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. 然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。Once you have seen that you can never forget ..."一旦你看到这些，你就永远不会忘记……”She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. 简已经获得了她想要获得的一切：在动物的栖息地事情；获得博士学位；还向世人证明女人和男子一样也能在森林里生活。

Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. 袁博士种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻的”的稻种。In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. 1974年，他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先锋。This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. 这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获三分之一的产量。

Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.如今中国每年生产的稻米有60%以上出自这种杂交稻种。Born in a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. 袁博士1930年出生，1953年结业于西南农学院。

Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. 从那时起，找到水稻高产的方法就成为他一生的目的。As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. 年轻时，他就看到了稻田增产的庞大需求。

At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. 其时，饥荒是许多农村地域面临的严重问题。Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. 袁博士要在不增加土地面积的基础上寻求到达增收稻谷的途径。In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. 1950年，中国农民只能生产五千万吨稻谷， In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. 而迩来却生产了快要两亿吨稻谷。These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. 这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅仅7%的耕地养活了世界22%的人口。

Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. 袁博士现在在印度.越南和许多其他欠蓬勃国祖传播提高水稻产量的知识。Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. 多亏了他的研究，团结国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中有了更多的措施。Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before. 用他的杂交水稻种子，农民种出的粮食比以前多了一倍。

Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. 袁博士很满足他的生活。However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. 可是，他对成名并不在意，而且以为着名后搞科研就不那么自由了。

He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. 他宁愿把时间花在自己的业余喜好上。He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. 他喜欢听小提琴乐曲.打麻将.游泳和念书。Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him. 在自己身上花钱或者享受舒适的生活对袁博士来说意义不大。Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. 事实上，他认为一小我私家有了太多钱，他的贫苦事只会更多，而不是更少。

He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture. 于是，他拿出好几百万元资助其他人举行农业科学研究。Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. 梦想是不花资本的。Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. 良久以前，袁博士曾在梦里看到水稻长得像高粱一样高，稻穗跟玉米穗一样大，而每粒稻谷像花生米一样大。

Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. 袁博士从梦中醒来，希望能种植一种能养活更多人的水稻。Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. 在许多年后的今天，袁博士另有另外一个梦想，那就是他的稻谷可以出口并长遍全球。One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.一个梦想总是不够的，尤其对一个热爱和体贴人民的人来说更是如此。

Get exhausted 耗尽Unit 3 A taste of English humour原文+翻译A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOUR无声的诙谐的大师As Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face",维克多·雨果曾经说过：“笑容如同阳光，驱散人们脸上的阴霾”and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. 关于这一点，直到今天也没有人比查理·卓别林做的更好。He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. 在两次世界大战及中间艰辛的岁月里，他给英国和美国人民带来了快乐。He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives. 在人们感应沮丧的时候，查理使人们开怀大笑，于是他们对自己的生活感应越发满足。

Not that Charlie's own life was easy! 然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易。He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall performers. 他生于1889年，身世贫寒。

他的怙恃都是杂耍戏院里贫穷的演员。You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 你可能会感应惊讶，查理刚会说话时大人就教他唱歌，他刚会走路时大人就教他跳舞。

Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often uncertain. 这样的训练在其时的演员家庭中是很普遍的，尤其是在家庭收入经常不稳定的时候。Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. 不幸的是他的父亲去世了，使得他的家庭越发艰难，所以查理在童年时期就要照顾生病的母亲和弟弟。By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in England. 在十多岁的时候，凭借着自己的诙谐，查理已经在英国成为最受接待的童星之一。

He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. 他能够不说话而仅靠行动来模拟傻子做日常的任务。No one was ever bored watching him -his subtle acting made everything entertaining. 看他的演出没有人会感应无聊——他巧妙的演出使得一切都那么滑稽可笑。As time went by, he began making films. .随着时间的推移，他开始拍影戏。He grew more and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. 他塑造的可爱的“小流离汉”角色开始闻名于世，而查理越来越受接待。

The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around stilly carrying a walking stick. 这个穷苦的无家可归的小流离汉，留着小胡子，穿着大裤子.破鞋子，头顶着玄色的小圆帽。他手里拿着一根手杖迈着僵硬的程序四处走动。This character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. 这个角色是个社会生活中的失败者，但他乐观的精神和战胜难题的刻意使他受到人们的喜爱。He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him. 面临并不善待他的人，这个弱者依然保持友善的态度。

How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? 然而这个小流离汉是如何把悲凉的遭遇变得滑稽可笑的呢？ Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. 这里有一个例子，来自于他最著名的影戏之一《淘金记》。It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in California. 19世纪中叶，在加利福尼亚州发现了金子。

Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. 像其他许多人一样，小流离汉和他的朋侪也涌向那里去淘金，但却没有乐成。Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. 相反，他们被狂风雪困在山边的一个小木屋中，没有任何工具可吃。They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. 他们饿极了，只好煮了一双皮鞋来果腹。

Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. 查理首先挑出鞋带来吃，像吃意大利面条一样。Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. 然后他把皮鞋上端的皮子切下来，就像切下一块最好的牛排。Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. 最后他试着把鞋底割下来嚼着吃。

He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. 他每一口都嚼得津津有味。The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted! 查理的演出是那么有说服力，以至于你会相信这顿饭是他所吃过的最鲜味的一餐！Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. 查理·卓别林自编.自导.自制他主演的影戏。

In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. 1972年他被授予奥斯卡特别奖，以表彰他在影戏界的良好事情。He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977.他生活在英国和美国，却在瑞士渡过了生掷中最后的日子，并于1977年埋葬在那里。He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence人们热爱和纪念这位伟大的演员，因为他鼓舞人们并增强他们的信心。
