1、一册1单元Just as Adam was cast out of Eden, I was kicked out of university; but while his transgression was eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, my sin was ignoring the tree. After my dismal performance in my first year of university, I contemplated the reasons for my failure. Now, I understand
2、the two factors that contributed to my downfall: the lack of a career goal and premature independence. 正如亚当被逐出伊甸园，我被撵出了大学校门；亚当违反的戒律是偷吃了善恶之树的禁果，我的罪恶就是无视知识之树。在我大学第一年差劲表现之后，我仔细考虑了自己被逐出大学的原因。现在我意识造成我被逐出大学的两个因素：缺乏职业目标和过早的独立。 Without a career goal, I lacked direction and motivation. About halfway through
3、my final year of high school, I was hounded by my parents to enroll in university, but until that time had not given any thought to what career I wanted to pursue. To silence their nagging, I told them I wanted to be an engineer. Though I got high marks in math, physics, and chemistry, I was bored w
4、ith them, and my dislike of the science became apparent in the first four months of university. I failed all my science courses. 没有职业目标，我缺乏方向和动机。大约在中学最后一年过了一半时，我被父母追逼着到大学注册。 但直到那时侯我还未考虑我想追求什么职业。为了让他们不再说我，我告诉他们我想当一名工程师。虽然我在数学，物理和化学上得了高分，但是我对这些课感到厌倦，接着在大学的最初四个月里我不喜欢这些理科课程就变得很明显了。所有的理科课程都不及格。一册2单元Far s

The monotonous mantras about our inevitable wired destiny echoed through the halls of academe, replete with sophomoric allusions to historical precedent (the invention
8、of writing and the printing press). Only a year or two later, however, the wind was out of their sails, their momentum broken, their confidence shaken. 这些鼓吹者仅仅通过宣称“这就是未来”就消除了那些保守者的怀疑并且让那些经验丰富的教育者们相信自己已经被历史淘汰了。那些肯定人类未来必将走向网络世界的言论象乏味的祷文。而这些言论在学术殿堂里得到了他们的回应和附和，并且含糊地用历史先例（比如文字和印刷术的发明）来作为证明。然而仅仅在一两年之后，潮流

16、 woman, we say in English. But a handsome man. Handsome is the masculine equivalent of-and refusal of-a compliment which has accumulated certain demeaning overtones, by being reserved for women only. That one can call a man beautiful in French and in Italian suggests that Catholic countries-unlike those countries shaped by the Protestant version of Christianity-still retain some vestiges of the pagan admiration for beauty
