Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who
became a YouTube phenomenon with his "Last Lecture,"
died Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer.
He was 47. He died at his home in southern Virginia.
卡耐基·梅隆大学的兰迪·波许教授曾因“最后一课”在
Youtube网站上掀起热潮。这位教授于上周五在自己南弗吉尼
亚的家中因胰脏癌并发症去世，享年47岁。


Pausch told USA TODAY during an interview at his home
in March that the now-famous lecture was never meant
for public consumption, nor was it for his colleagues
or students. It was for his two sons and daughter:
Dylan, 6, Logan, 3, and Chloe, 2. "If people are
finding inspiration, OK, but the book is for my
kids," Pausch said.
USA TODAY今年三月曾在波许的家中对他进行了一次采访，波
许说那个著名的讲座其实并不是特意讲给公众的，也不是讲
给他的同事或学生的。它是讲给他的两个儿子和一个女儿的
：6岁的戴兰，3岁的罗根和2岁的克洛伊。“如果大家能从中
得到鼓励，那很好，但这本书是给我的孩子的。”波许说。


"I knew what I was doing that day," he wrote in the
introduction of his best-selling book, also titled
The Last Lecture. "Under the ruse of giving an
academic lecture, I was trying to put myself in a
bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my
children."
“我知道我那天在做什么，”他在他的畅销书的前言中写道
，书的名字也叫《最后一课》。在做一堂学术讲座背后，我
试图把我自己装进一个瓶子里，希望有一天这个瓶子会被冲
上沙滩让我的孩子们看到。

Pausch's wife, Jai, said Friday, "I'd like to thank
the millions of people who have offered their love,
prayers and support. Randy was so happy and proud
that the lecture and book inspired parents to revisit
their priorities, particularly their relationships
with their children. The outpouring of cards and
emails really sustained him."
波许的妻子斋周五说，“我想感谢数百万给了我们爱、祈祷
和支持的人们。关于他的讲座和书能鼓励父母去重新思考他
们追求的东西、特别是他们和孩子的关系,波许感到特别开心
和骄傲。那些雪片一样飞来的卡片和邮件真的给了他很大的
支持。”


President George W. Bush, touched by Pausch's story,
recently honored him in a letter, citing his service
to his country.
总统乔治·W·布什被波许的故事感动，最近在一封信里对他
为国家做出的贡献给予表彰。


"Your love of family, dedication in the classroom,
and passion for teaching will stand as a lasting
legacy, and I am grateful for your willingness to
serve," Bush wrote.
布什写道：“你对家庭的爱，在课堂上的奉献和对教育的热
情将成为不朽的传奇，对你奉献国家的热情我非常感激。”


Bush's wasn't the only accolade that came Pausch's
way. He made Time magazine's list of the 100 most
influential people in the world.
布什并不是唯一一个给波许嘉奖的，波许已经名列时代杂志
全球最有影响力的100人之中了。

作者介绍: 特蕾莎修女(Mother Teresa,1910-1997)，印度著名的慈善家，印度天主教仁爱传教会创始人，在世界范围内建立了一个庞大的慈善机构网，赢得了国际社会的广泛尊敬。1979年被授予诺贝尔和平奖。本文所选即好在领取该奖项时的演讲辞，语言简洁质朴而感人至深。诺贝尔奖领奖台上响起的声音往往都是文采飞扬、热烈、激昂。而特雷莎修女的演说朴实无华，其所举事例听来似平凡之至，然而其中所蕴含的伟大而神圣的爱感人至深。平凡中孕育伟大，真情才能动人。我们作文时，要善于从自己所熟知的平凡中发掘伟大，以真情来打动读者。

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[阴沟、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.

穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说：“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢？答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多――她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的话。他那样地死去，不责怪任何人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样――这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的话――我饥肠辘辘――我衣不蔽体――我无家可归――我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心――然而，你却为我做了这一切。

I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours…And I think that in our family we don’t need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.

我想，我们算不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的眼中，或许我们是在做社会工作，但实际上，我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为，一天24小时，我们都在触摸基督的圣体。我想，在我们的大家庭时，我们不需要枪支和炮弹来破坏和平，或带来和平――我们只需要团结起来，彼此相爱，将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力都带回世界。这样，我们就能战胜世界上现存的一切邪恶。

And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

我准备以我所获得的诺贝尔和平奖奖金为那些无家可归的人们建立自己的家园。因为我相信，爱源自家庭，如果我们能为穷人建立家园，我想爱便会传播得更广。而且，我们将通过这种宽容博大的爱而带来和平，成为穷人的福音。首先为我们自己家里的穷人，其次为我们国家，为全世界的穷人。为了做到这一点，姐妹们，我们的生活就必须与祷告紧紧相连，必须同基督结结一体才能互相体谅，共同分享，因为同基督结合一体就意味着互相体谅，共同分享。因为，今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦难存在……当我从街上带回一个饥肠辘辘的人时，给他一盘饭，一片面包，我就能使他心满意足了，我就能躯除他的饥饿。但是，如果一个人露宿街头，感到不为人所要，不为人所爱，惶恐不安，被社会抛弃――这样的贫困让人心痛，如此令人无法忍受。因此，让我们总是微笑想见，因为微笑就是爱的开端，一旦我们开始彼此自然地相爱，我们就会想着为对方做点什么了。

听到有人说“It will not wash!”他可不是在谈论清洗什么东西；“Talk turkey”也不是在跟火鸡对话哦…欲知其中掌故敬请关注本周成语故事

WORDS AND THEIR STORIES - It Will Not Wash: Does It Work, or Not?

I'm Susan Clark with the Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

(MUSIC)

Young Mister Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.

If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be given more pay. Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.

Business had been very slow. So Mister Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. "I am sorry, Smith," his employer said. "It just will not wash."

Now, the meaning of these English words should be, "It will not get clean." Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, "It will not wash?"

Most word experts agree that "it will not wash" means it will not work. Eric Partridge wrote that the saying probably developed in Britain in the eighteen hundreds. Charlotte Bronte used it in a story published in eighteen forty-nine. She wrote, "That wiln't wash, miss." Mizz Bronte seems to have meant that the dyes used to color a piece of clothing were not good. The colors could not be depended on to stay in the material.

In nineteenth century England, the expression came to mean an undependable statement. It was used mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.

A critic once said of the poet Robert Browning, "He won't wash." The critic did not mean that the poet was not a clean person. He meant that Browning's poems could not be depended on to last.

Today, we know that judgment was wrong. Robert Browning still is considered a major poet. But very few people remember the man who said Browning would not wash.

Happily for the young employee Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer "talked turkey" to him. She said, "Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another way to save money."

A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.

Word expert Charles Funk tells how he believes this change took place.

He says two men were shooting turkeys together. One of them was a white man. The other was an American Indian. The white man began stating reasons why he should get all the turkeys for himself. But the American Indian stopped him. He told the white man, "Now, I talk turkey to you."

Mister Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea "will not wash," try "talking turkey" to yourself and come up with a better idea.

如何学好英语，这似乎是一个很古老的话题了。在三年的大学生活中，我最引以为豪的是我的 英语成绩。当然我的英语成绩不是很突出，但我所取得的进步却是很可喜的。高中时我的英语成绩属于中等水平，高考也只有98分。一进大学，我就为英语学习犯难了。再学不好英语，那就等于给自己以后的道路增设障碍。于是乎，路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下求英语。终于，工夫不负有心人，我终于取得了优异的成绩。在过了四级的同时，我也取得了口语考试的资格，并且也在口语考试中得了c+。去年又一次性通过了六级。最让我感到欣慰的是在大二时，我参加全国大学生英语竞赛得了三等奖。我所有的成绩也证明了一个道理：一分耕耘，一分收获。
从三年的学习英语的经历中，我总结出了以下几点。以供参考。

首先，要学好英语，最关键的是要有兴趣。俗话说：兴趣是最好的老师。教我们英语的是一位 年轻的老师，他讲课很风趣，还总是让我们自己上台讲课，演小品。生动的英语教学，让我对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣。

光有兴趣还不行，我们还得知道如何去学。

先说说背单词吧！对很多同学来说背单词无疑是件很痛苦的事了。我在背单词时，不是按照单词书上的一个一个背下来，这样很容易让人产生厌倦心理，而且很容易忘。我是在每一页抽几个背，就是很随机的。在平时，我们可以制作一些小卡片，把很难记的写在上面，一有空就那出来看一下，或者可以在床头放一些卡片，每天睡觉前看几眼。更有效的就是在睡前和寝室的同学进行猜字竞赛。每次大家互相把当天学的单词猜一遍，这样就记的牢了。当然背单词最重要的是要不间断的进行温习。

很多同学都很头疼阅读理解，一是时间紧，二是难理解。如果觉得时间紧，那我就教你一招。那就是把每次的练习当作考试，自己限定时间，做不完的就猜。久而久之，你的心中就会有一只无形的闹钟，使你在做题时总有一种紧迫感。练习时间长了，你也就习惯了。

对于理解，我觉得我们应该扩大阅读的范围。我们可以看英文报或杂志。在大一时我看的是中英文对照的《英语沙龙》。以后随着词汇量的增加，我就开始看英文报。我经常看的是上海星报，shanghai star。这份报纸内容覆盖广，且较浅，易懂。在看报纸的时候，我不喜欢逐个字的去查，碰到生词就猜，遇到好的词句，就顺手抄下来。三年下来，这样的小小摘录本我已有好几本了。总之，看英文报，不仅可以摄取更多的知识，而且可以培养语感，练习阅读速度。

听力也是大家头疼的一个问题。我觉得要提高听力能力，光用听力磁带是不够的。我们可以采用其他的方法啊！比如我们可以听英语新闻。我常听的是上海990的夜间十一点档播出的live it up shanghai。这个说话节目挺不错的。当然另一个方法便是去英语角。我是从去年开始上英语角的，在那里一大群的英语爱好者在一起，大家用英语聊天，发表言论。有时也有机会和老外来个亲密接触。多说多听，你的听力和口语的能力就在不知不觉中提高了。到英语角去说，去听，去感受，你会发现原来讲英语并不是一件难事哦！

学英语，也要学会做个有心人。每次看到街上的英文招牌或网上的英文缩写，你有没有去想过它的全称呢？BBS，大家都用过吧，但它的全称Bulletin Board System 你知道吗？在报纸上经常看到RMB ，这是什么的缩写呢？当然是人民币的中文缩写了。还有GDP ，MBA ，MPA 等等。时间长了，你就会发现，原来英语不仅出现在课堂里，它已溶入到了整个社会中了。看看你的衣服，或许上面就有一个你不认识的单词呢！赶紧学吧！

各人有各人的学习方法，或许你自己寻求的方法更有效呢！经常和同学交换一些方法，这不是很好吗？有一位哲人说过，两个人各有一个苹果，交换后你终究只有一个，但只有交换了思想，你的脑海里就会多出一个思想来。你说呢？

回顾一下我英语学习的历程,对我影响比较大的学习方法主要是李阳.克立兹的疯狂突破和钟道隆的逆向法.当然还有一些其他的方法,象翱翔英语,武藏式英语(以前看的一本日本人自学英语的书)等等,但都没有前两种来的深刻.所以我想这里和大家主要介绍一下这两种:

李阳老师的疯狂英语我想大家应该都已经比较熟悉了吧.我呢,自己就是亲善大使,所以对这套方法是比较了解的.应该说,在我接触李阳.克立兹之前,我的英语学习方法是出于一种完全混沌的状态,完全是学校里传统的学习方式,那时虽然我日夜苦读,可是总感觉英语水平没有什么实质性的突破,当时我还在考上外的英语自学考试,又不敢放松,就觉得阅读还过得去,口语和听力几乎是零.当时的确是处于一种极其痛苦的徘徊状态.有多少次要放弃学习英语的念头连我自己都数不清了.后来一次看报的时候读到了李阳.克立兹的介绍,大概是道出了我学习英语的痛苦吧,共鸣感极其强烈.当下就汇款邮了两本教材,当时收到教材后简直是如获至宝,把两本黑白小册子都快翻烂了,几乎每天都要读上一遍,18张卡片上的内容真的重复了有一百遍之多,当时每张卡片上的每一句话都能脱口而出,后来我在公司里第一次作翻译的时候,才真正感到卡片上句子看似简单,但在实际生活中出现的频率是很高的.

李阳.克立兹这两年的运作应该说是比较成功的,全国很多英语学习者都有所耳闻,很多人也从中受益不少.现在也有不少人指责李阳.克立兹是一种商业炒作,华而不实.我想作为一名使用者在这里谈谈我的一些看法:

首先我认为李阳.克立兹的疯狂英语并不能称之为一套绝对理想的,完整的学习方法.李阳在教材里的有些话的确是有些言过其实的.但我觉得我们并不能因为他的不甚完整就全盘否定,视而不见他优秀的,发光的地方.应该说每一种学习方法都有其优缺点,我们应该用自己的头脑取长补短,真对自己的实际情况对症下药.我觉得把李阳.克立兹理解成是一种突破口,一种突破方法是很合适的,尤其是在口语方面.李阳老师所提出的"三最口腔训练","一口气训练法"等等,我都进行了刻苦认真的练习,应该说效果还是很明显的,的确使自己在说英语时嘴巴顺溜多了.的确,一些基本句型的熟练掌握对自己英语的基本功和学习的信心都有很大的帮助.我希望想真正掌握英语的朋友们要下决心,下死心把这些基本句型倒背如流,这些句型其实拿起市面上随便一本口语教材就以足够了.很多朋友看不起这些简单的口语句型,总喜欢买些动辄五六十元的高级某某某教材,买好以后看了没几页又找个自我开脱的理由束之高阁.写到这里使我想起我一直想说出来的话,也许得罪了不少朋友:中国的学生学英语太急功近利了.在我以前的推广过程中,很多朋友问我的第一句话就是:要多长时间才能学会哪?我就告诉大家:One year is enough.可是现在我就不这么说了,我总是问他们:你的中文怎么样?回想一下,你的中文学了多少年?到了什么水平呢?我们绝大对数的中国人的汉语水平也就是看看报纸,交流交流,又有几个人能写出漂亮的文章呢?有时我看到邻家上一年级的小女孩在认真的一个字一个字的拼写,用每个生词造句联句,这么一干就是四五年的时间,到了小学毕业,好!总算可以写上一篇"小豆腐干"文章了,不知道现在读我这篇文章的朋友们是否还保存着自己那时的文章,有的话拿出来看看,一定会哑然失笑的.那不算!有的朋友说我们那时还是小孩吗!学习能力有限嘛!那好!在这以后的几年,几十年里我们和汉语朝夕相处,每天都在吸收新的信息,在座的各位又有几位敢拍拍胸脯说:我的中文成功了,我说的汉语漂亮极了.我能用中文随手写出漂亮的文章!至少我自己是绝不敢这么crazy的.另外可别忘了,所有这些都是我们在无比优越的纯中文环境下的学习成果.说到这里,我们再想一想英语的学习吧!我不是在给大家泼冷水,打击大家学习英语的冲天信心.我自己也一直在想:我们要有crazy的精神,crazy的方法,但我们不能有crazy的幻想.尤其是违背客观规律的crazy.所以我碰到的所有英语教授,讲师都在苦口婆心的告诉我:学好一门外语是一辈子的事情!这个道理我也是最近一两年才领悟到的.就是现在,在我的进修班里,我还常常听到"考完这门,我再也不学了."的声音.大家用理智想一想,我们的中文学到现在不还是每天都在添砖加瓦吗?!我在用李阳的方法刻苦训练的时候,口腔肌肉特别利落,口语感觉特好.可是我现在已经有一段时间没这么疯狂了,马上就感到口语水平大不如从前了.所以说外语要常学常用,这个"常"字不仅是指频率上,更是指时间的跨度上.每个人都一样,李阳老师也不例外,不进则退!Crazy的方法的确能使我们在段时期内获得有效的长进,但决不是,也不可能是一劳永逸的方法,世界上也不存在这种方法.所以下一次我想和大家交流一下学好英语的必要条件:恒心和毅力.

"恒心和毅力是成功的必要条件。"写下这句话后，我觉得这句话空空如野，有种不说白不说，说了也白说的感觉。就象英语中所说的cliché，说的人多了，也就没什么感觉了。大家也就是听听说说而已，真正实施的有几人呢？

首先"什么是成功？成功的标准和定义如何来界定呢？如果说成功意味着财富和地位，那么要赚到多少钱，爬到什么位子才算是成功了呢？的确，有很多问题值得用我们的一生来追问。我现在只是想把问题简化一下，对我们千百万英语学习者来说，"什么是成功？"，成功就是把英语学到家，掌握英语，利用英语，使英语成为我们获取信息，工作学习，娱乐休闲的工具，真正成为英语的主人。可是谈何容易啊！

有的朋友一定要问：看你说的这么好听，你自己的英语水平有多高呢？实话告诉大家，我自己本来也就是一小中专生，读的是机电专业，没有受到过正规的全日制高等教育，更没有上过什么名牌大学，自己现在的一点所学完全是自己在毕业后工作过程中自学而来的。虽然通过自己的不懈努力也获得了相应的文凭，但与科班出身，名师指导的毕竟是有一定差距的。我相信现在看我这篇独白的朋友中会有很多是，或者曾经是天之骄子，有着至今都令我十分羡慕的大学生活，你们的英语水平一定要比我高出许多，我不是什么假谦虚，从很多朋友的英语来信中，可以看出有不少朋友对英语的潜词造句已经达到了娴熟的程度，"那你还在这里东拉西扯些什么？"有朋友"厉声"质问道。大家不要误会，我只是觉得这几年的自学过程中我的英语的确有了很大的提高，有关英语学习方法的事情也一直在借鉴，总结和探索。其中有些方法经过亲身体验后有了一些自己的想法，所以也就不知天高地厚的写了出来，目的主要有两个：一是想和大家分享一下自己的学习经验；二是想起到抛砖引玉的作用。大家可以给我来信，共同探讨英语学习方面的任何问题，最好您可以把自己在英语学习上的心得总结一下，不必求大而全，能够写出自己对某一点的看法就很不错的。比方说对单词记忆，对口语练习，对英语角，对英语教材等等方面的看法和感受。我也准备在这个英语学习方法的栏目中刊登出大家的来信，我自己的方法只是一家之言，大家共同的学习心得才是最宝贵的。有些英语杂志上刊登出来的一些大牌教授的方法指导固然很好，但我看了总觉得太过于概括，没有具体的操作过程，而且多数文章雷同，大概是官样文章写多了吧^_^。所以我希望能够收到您信任的来信，共同探讨英语学习的问题，也希望我们的感受能使我们成为共识的朋友。
