He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom.

Later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.UNIT 31) 無論是在城市還是農(nóng)村，因特網(wǎng)正在改變?nèi)藗兊纳罘绞健he Internet is changing the way people live, (no matter) whether they are in urban or rural areas.2)和大公司相比，中小公司更容易受到全球金融危機的威脅。Medium-sized and small companies are more vulnerable to the threat of the global economic crisis than large ones.3)關(guān)于期末論文，教授要求我們先分析失業(yè)圖表，然后對國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展提供批判性的見解。With regard to our term paper, the professor asked us to analyze the unemployment chart first, and then provide critical reflections on the nations economic development. 4)他從來也沒有想到他們隊會以大比分贏得那場籃球比賽。It never occurred to him that their team would win the basketball match by a large margin.5)回顧二十年來的中學(xué)教學(xué)，我把我的成功歸結(jié)為耐心、才能和對知識的不斷追求。 Looking back on my twenty years teaching in high school, I attribute my success to patience, talent, and the constant pursuit of knowledge. 人們幾乎無法將蓄意行竊的盜賊拒之門外。所能做的只是設(shè)法阻攔他片刻，從而使其暴露在巡警面前。常識告訴我們，光照是犯罪行為的障礙物。家門口必須安裝一盞燈，并且在晚間開著。如果你碰巧是最晚一個回家，別只關(guān)門而不上鎖。如果你決定購買精密的電子報警系統(tǒng)，別忘了索要報警器的標(biāo)志，并把它們粘貼在窗戶和門上。此外，你還可以將報警系統(tǒng)連接到警署。It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes. Thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity.

If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.UNIT112 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we dont entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. 我想，不是所有熱愛鄉(xiāng)村的人都會樂意過我們這種生活的。這種生活需要一些特殊的素質(zhì)。其一是耐得住寂寞。由于我們?nèi)绱嗣β?，手頭又緊，我們很少請客。在作物生長季節(jié)，根本就沒工夫參加社交活動。吉米和埃米莉雖然參加學(xué)校的各種活動，但他倆大多數(shù)時間也呆在家里。 13 The other requirement is energy - a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. 另一項要求是體力相當(dāng)大的體力。小范圍里實現(xiàn)自給自足的途徑是抵制誘惑，不去購置拖拉機和其他昂貴的節(jié)省勞力的機械。相反，你要自己動手。我們僅有的機器（不包括割草機）是一臺3馬力的小型旋轉(zhuǎn)式耕耘機以及一架16英寸的鏈鋸。 14 How much longer well have enough energy to stay on here is anybodys guess - perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, well leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what weve been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. Weve invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again. 沒人知道我們還能有精力在這里再呆多久-也許呆很長一陣子，也許不是。到走的時候，我們會愴然離去，但也會為自己所做的一切深感自豪。我們把農(nóng)場出售也會賺相當(dāng)大一筆錢。我們自己在農(nóng)場投入了約35，000美金的資金，要是現(xiàn)在售出的話價格差不多可以翻一倍。不過現(xiàn)在不是出售的好時機。但是一旦經(jīng)濟形勢好轉(zhuǎn)，對我們這種農(nóng)場的需求又會增多。 15 We didnt move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know weve found just what we were looking for. 但我們主要不是為了賺錢而移居至此的。我們來此居住是因為想提高生活質(zhì)量。當(dāng)我看著埃米莉傍晚去收雞蛋，跟吉米一起在河上釣魚，或和全家人一起在果園里享用老式的野餐，我知道，我們找到了自己一直在尋求的生活方式。 UNIT24 Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom. 但此地只是我所承擔(dān)的繁重使命的一處停留地。喬賽亞亨森只是一長串無所畏懼的男女名單中的一個名字，這些人共同創(chuàng)建了這條“地下鐵路”，一條由逃亡線路和可靠的人家組成的用以解放美國南方黑奴的秘密網(wǎng)絡(luò)。在1820年至1860年期間，多達十萬名黑奴經(jīng)由此路走向自由。 5 In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And its about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories. 2000年10月，克林頓總統(tǒng)批準撥款1600萬美元建造全國“地下鐵路”自由中心，以此紀念美國歷史上第一次偉大的民權(quán)斗爭。中心計劃于2004年在辛辛那提州建成。真是該建立這樣一個中心的時候了。因為地下鐵路的英雄們依然默默無聞，他們的業(yè)績依然少人頌揚。我要講述他們的故事。 UNIT34 It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open. 取而代之的是防盜鎖、防護鏈、電子報警系統(tǒng)，以及連接警署或私人保安公司的報警裝置。郊區(qū)的許多人家在露臺上安裝了玻璃滑門，內(nèi)側(cè)有裝得很講究的鋼條，這樣就沒人能把門撬開。 5 It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company. 在最溫馨的居家，也常?？吹玫酱吧腺N著小小的告示，稱本宅由某家安全機構(gòu)或某個保安公司負責(zé)監(jiān)管。 6 The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a childs bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it. 鎖成了美國的新的象征。的確，一家大保險公司最近的一則公益廣告沒有用圖表表明我們所處的危險有多大，而是用了一幅童車的圖片，車身上懸著如今無所不在的掛鎖。 7 The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock? 廣告指出，沒錯，確是保險公司理賠失竊物品，但誰來賠償互不信任、擔(dān)心害怕這種新氛圍對我們的生活方式所造成的影響呢？誰來對美國從自由之國到鎖之國這一蛻變作出精神賠償呢？ 8 For that is what has happened. We have become so used to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life, so used to putting up barriers, that we have not had time to think about what it may mean. 因為那就是現(xiàn)狀。我們已經(jīng)變得如此習(xí)慣于保護自己不受美國生活新氛圍的影響，如此習(xí)慣于設(shè)置障礙，因而無暇考慮這一切意味著什么。
