1.He is a nice enough young fellow, you know, but he is empty-headed.2.A passing fashion or craze, in my opinion, shows a complete lack of reason.3.I ought to have known that raccoon coat would come back to fashion when the Charleston dance, which was popular in the 1920s, came back.4.All the important and fashionable men on campus are wearing them. How come you don’t know?5.My brain, which is a precision instrument, began to work at high speed.6.Except for one thing (intelligence) Polly had all the other requirements.7.She was not as beautiful as those girls in posters but I felt sure she would become beautiful enough after some time.8.In fact, she went in the opposite direction, that is, she is not intelligent but rather stupid.9.If you are no longer involved with her (if you stop dating her) others would be free to compete to get her as a girlfriend.10.His head turned back and forth (looking at the coat then looking away from the coat). Every time he looked his desire for the coat grew stronger and his resolution not to give away Polly becomes weaker.11.To teach her to think appeared to be a rather big task.12.One must admit the outcome does not look very hopeful, but I decided to try one more time.13.There is a limit to what any human being can bear.14.I planned to be Pygmalion, to fashion an ideal wife for myself, but I turned out to be Frankenstein because Polly (the result/product of my hard work) ultimately rejected me and ruined my plan.15.Desperately I tried to stop the feeling of panic that was overwhelming me.1.I was once so completely absorbed in the important affairs of the world that I devoted all my attention, time and energy to them and only occasionally did I allow myself a little rest by reading poetry or listening to music.2.Or maybe my suppressed inclination has been brought out under Laura’s unintentional influence.3.I was as puritanical as a Pharisee and I viewed with contempt all those who lived a less practical life than my own and regarded them as creatures on the moon.4.Just imagine how I have changed now. Here I stand, sentimental and sensitive, like an old unmarried woman painting a water-color picture of the sunset.5.I want to enjoy beauty to my heart’s content before I die.6.I feel that I am weightless and totally absorbed by the night and feel at peace with the night.7.I imagine devoted religious people must feel as clean and pure as I do now when they leave the solemn confessional after gaining pardon for their sins.8.In the same way I let myself freely imagine what the innermost part of Laura’s character presents. She looks so severe outwardly, but inwardly she is full of tenderness---tenderness like delicate flowers waiting for the daring to discover them.9.We human beings ought to learn from the wise bird, knowing how far we can allow ourselves to go; knowing how much freedom of conduct we can allow ourselves to have.10.Here I’m born anew, completely different from the past, changed excessively or to an unusual extent.11.The Pacific Ocean alone is much larger than all the continents combined.12.A storm that lasted two days has made me extremely excited and happy, but above all, I love these idle days in which I throw off all the qualities, perspectives, values and everything else that made me as what I was: I’m born anew.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings．2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view．In a conversation we should not try to establish the force of an idea or argument.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view．4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives．5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong．6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields；but when we sit down at the table to eat, we call their meat beef．7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers．8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more．9.The phrase，the King’s English，has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes．The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people．10.There still exists in the working people，as in the early Saxon peasants，a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class．11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent．1. Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. We promise to do this much and we promise to do more.3. United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint bold undertakings.4. The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the tools to wage war have far surpassed and exceeded the tools to keep peace.5. We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate could continue to be in effect or in force.6. Before the terrible forces of destruction, which atomic bombs can now release, wipe out mankind, which may be planned or brought about by an accident.7. Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.8. Let us start over again. We must bear in mind that being polite does not mean one is weak.9. Let both sides try to use science to produce good and beneficial things for man instead of employing it to bring frightful destruction.10. Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country (by fighting and dying for their country's cause).11. We will lead the country we love, knowing our sure reward will be a good conscience, and history will finally judge whether we have done our task well or not.Ⅻ.1. 他对水彩画很有鉴赏能力。
