在一家收容所,作者尽全力帮助一位妇女获取GED文凭,并经常与那里的人交流。通过这项工作,她发现志愿工作非常有意义!
Through
my
work
at
a
shelter,
I
have
discovered
how
fulfilling
volunteer
work
can
be.
This
is
a
shelter
for
women
with
severe
problems.
Almost
all
of
the
residents
have
been
either
physically
or
mentally
abused.
The
shelter
provides
housing
for
up
to
twenty?nine
women.
As
a
volunteer,
I
spend
part
of
my
day
pricing
and
sorting
clothes
and
performing
a
variety
of
duties.
However,
the
true
challenge
of
my
days
is
Annie.
This
woman,
probably
in
her
late
fifties,
has
decided
that
she
wants
to
get
her
GED
(学历证书).
I
have
always
had
an
interest
in
teaching,
so
I
offer
to
work
with
her.
Annie
and
I
agree
that,
because
I
am
not
a
math
person,
we
would
focus
on
the
literature
and
the
arts
of
the
test.
She
has
some
serious
problems,
the
medications
she
takes
causes
her
to
have
difficulty
concentrating.
Her
inability
to
focus
contributes
to
my
frustrations,
but
Annie
is
determined
to
get
her
GED
and
she
is
so
sincerely
grateful
for
my
help.
Sometimes
it
occurs
to
me
that
I
may
not
really
be
the
teacher;
it
seems
as
though
I
learn
a
lot
from
my
“student”.
It
is
hard
to
watch
her
struggle
through
a
paragraph,but
I
can
only
help
her
to
a
certain
point.
She
has
problems
with
reading
and
comprehending.
Her
medication
also
causes
her
to
shake
so
that
her
handwriting
is
poor
and
she
must
translate
her
work
for
me.
Aside
from
helping
Annie
learn,
I
frequently
communicate
with
the
other
people
at
the
shelter.
Most
of
the
women
are
glad
to
have
someone
to
talk
to
and
I
like
talking
to
them,
too.
I
have
become
more
aware
of
the
comfortable
life
I
lead,
and
I
am
learning
to
look
at
things
from
another
person's
eyes,
understanding
how
to
appreciate
precious
things
I
take
for
granted.

Dear

which
took
a
fortnight(两星期)
to
arrive①.It
was
wonderful
to
hear
from
you.
I

so
I've
included
some

一封家书
亲爱的罗斯玛丽:
谢谢你的来信,这封信花费了两星期才到。接到你的信真是太高兴了。我知道你急于了解我在这里的生活情况,所以我在信中附有几张照片,这将帮助你想象出我所谈到的地方。

You
asked
about
my
high
school.
Well,
it's
a
bush
school
-
the
classrooms
are
made
of
bamboo
and
the
roofs(屋顶)
of
grass.
It
takes
me
only
a
few
minutes
to
walk③
to
school
down
a
muddy
track.When
I
reach
the
school
grounds
there
are
lots
of
“good
mornings”
for
me
from
the
boys.
Many
of
them
have
walked
a
long
way,sometimes
up
to④
two
hours,
to
get
to
school.
你问起我的中学情况。嗯,它是一所丛林学校——教室是用竹子搭起来的,屋顶是用茅草盖的。我只要沿着一条泥泞的小路步行几分钟就到学校了。当我走到学校操场的时候,迎接我的是男孩子们一片“早上好”的声音。他们中许多人走了很长的路,有时候走多达两个小时才到学校。
[助读讲解] ③It
takes
sb.some

to
do
sth.做某事花费某人多少时间。④up

There's
no
electricity
or
water
and
even
no
textbooks
either!
I'm
still
trying
to
adapt
to
these
conditions
.
However,
one
thing
is
for
sure,
I've
become
more
imaginative
in
my
teaching.
Science
is
my
most
challenging⑤
subject
as
my
students
have
no
concept
of
doing
experiments⑥.
In
fact
there
is
no
equipment,
and
if
I
need
water
I
have
to
carry
it
from
my
house
in
a
bucket(水桶)!
The
other
day
I
was
showing
the
boys
the
weekly
chemistry
experiment
when,before
I
knew
it,the
mixture
was
bubbling(起泡)
over
everywhere!
The
boys
who
had
never
come
across
anything
like
this
before
started
jumping
out
of
the
windows.
Sometimes
I
wonder
how
relevant
chemistry
is
to
these
students,
most
of
whom
will
be
going
back
to
their
villages
after
Year
8
anyway.
To
be
honest,
I
doubt
whether
I'm
making
any
difference
to⑦
these
boys'
lives
at
all.
这儿没有电,也没有水,甚至连课本也没有!我还在努力适应这些情况。但是有一点是肯定的,我在教学中变得更加富有想象力了。理科对我来说是最富挑战性的课程,因为我的学生对做实验没有概念。实际上,根本没有设备。如果需要水,我还得从家里用水桶提过来!不久前的一天,我正给男孩子们做每周一次的化学实验的演示,我还没明白怎么回事,混合剂就到处冒气泡了!那些从未见过这种情况的男孩子们吓得都往窗外跳去。有时候,我真想知道化学对这些学生究竟有多大的用处。反正他们中大多数人上完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去。说实在的,我很怀疑我教的课是否会让这些男孩子的生活有所改变。
[助读讲解] ⑤challenging
adj.具有挑战性的。⑥as引导原因状语从句。⑦make

You
asked
whether
I'm
getting
to
know
any
local
people.
Well,
that's
actually
quite
difficult
as
I
don't
speak
much
of
the
local
English
dialect
yet.
But
last
weekend
another
teacher,
Jenny,
and
I
did
visit
a
village
which
is
the
home
of
one
of
the
boys,
Tombe⑧.
It
was
my
first
visit
to
a
remote
village.
We
walked
for
two
and
a
half
hours
to
get
there
—
first
up
a
mountain
to
a
ridge(山脊)
from
where
we
had
fantastic
views
and
then
down
a
steep
path
to
the
valley
below.
When
we
arrived
at
the
village,
Tombe's
mother,
Kiak,
who
had
been
pulling
weeds(杂草)
in
her
garden,
started
crying
“ieee
ieee”.
We
shook
hands
with⑨
all
the
villagers.
Everyone
seemed
to
be
a
relative
of
Tombe's.
你问我是否了解当地的人。哦,那实在是太难了,因为我还说不了几句当地人说的英语。不过,上周末我和另外一位叫珍妮的老师真的去访问了一个村庄,那是我的一个学生汤贝的家。这是我第一次到遥远的村子里去。我们步行了两个半小时才到达那里——先是爬山爬到山脊,在那儿能看到奇丽的景色,然后走下一个陡坡,一直走到下边的山谷。
当我们到达村庄的时候,汤贝的母亲齐亚克本来是在园子里拔草,看到我们就开始“嗳矣,嗳矣”地叫了起来。我们同所有的村民都握了手。每个人看上去都像是汤贝的亲戚。
[助读讲解] ⑧which引导定语从句,修饰a

hands

sb.与某人握手。
Tombe's
father,
Mukap,
led
us
to
his
house,
a
low
bamboo
hut(小屋;棚屋)
with
grass
sticking
out⑩
of
the
roof
—
this
shows
it
is
a
man's
house.
The
huts
were
round,
not
rectangular(矩形的)
like
the
school
buildings.
There
were
no
windows
and
the
doorway
was
just
big
enough
to
get
through.
The
hut
was
dark
inside
so
it
took
time
for
our
eyes
to
adjust.
Fresh
grass
had
been
laid
on
the
floor
and
there
was
a
newly
made
platform(平台)
for
Jenny
and
me
to
sleep
on.
Usually
Kiak
would?
sleep
in
her
own
hut,
but
that
night
she
was
going
to
share
the
platform
with
us.
Mukap
and
Tombe
were
to
sleep
on
small
beds
in
another
part
of
the
hut.
There
was
a
fireplace
in
the
centre
of
the
hut
near
the
doorway.
The
only
possessions
I
could
see?
were
one
broom(扫帚),
a
few
tin(锡)
plates
and
cups
and
a
couple
of
jars(罐).
汤贝的父亲叫莫卡普,他把我们带进他的房子,这是一个低矮的顶上有草伸出来的小竹屋——这表示这间房子是男人住的。小屋是圆的,不像教学楼是矩形的。这里没有窗户,房门只够一个人进出。小屋内很黑,因此我们的眼睛要过好一阵子才能适应过来。地上摆放着一堆新鲜的草,还有一个新做的平台,是供珍妮和我睡觉用的。通常齐亚克是睡在她自己的小屋的,但是那天晚上她要同我们一起睡在平台上。莫卡普和汤贝则睡在小屋另一边的小床上。在小屋中间靠近房门的地方有一个火炉。我能看到的仅有的财产是一把扫帚、几个锡盘和锡杯,还有两个罐子。
[助读讲解] ⑩stick
out伸出,突出。?would在此处表示过去的一种习惯。?I
could
see是省略了that的定语从句,修饰possessions。
Outside
Mukap
was
building
a
fire?.
Once
the
fire
was
going,
he
laid
stones
on
it.
When
hot,
he
placed
them
in
an
empty
oil
drum
with
kau
kau
(sweet
potato),
corn
and
greens.
He
then
covered
the
vegetables
with
banana
leaves
and
left
them
to
steam.
I
sniffed(闻)
the
food;
it
smelled
delicious.
We
ate
inside
the
hut
sitting
round
the
fire?.
I
loved
listening
to
the
family
softly
talking
to
each
other
in
their
language,
even
though
I
could
not
participate
in
the
conversation.
Luckily,
Tombe
could
be
our
interpreter(作口译的人).
莫卡普在屋子外边生火。火一旦着起来后,他往火里扔了几块石头。烧热之后,他把石头放在一个空油桶里,加上一些考考(甜的红薯)、玉米和青菜。然后他用香蕉叶子把这些蔬菜盖上,等着它们蒸熟。我闻着食物;它闻起来很美味。我们在小屋里围着火炉坐下来吃东西。
即使我不能参与到他们的交谈中去,我还是喜欢听他们家里人用自己的语言轻声细语地交谈。幸运的是,汤贝可以做我们的翻译。
[助读讲解] ?build
a
fire生火。?现在分词短语sitting
round
the
fire在句中作方式状语。
Later,
I
noticed
a
tin
can
standing
upside
down
on
the
grill(烤架)
over
the
fire.
After
a
short
time
Tombe
threw
it
out
of
the
doorway.
I
was
puzzled.
Tombe
told
me
that
the
can
was
heated
to
dry
out
the
leftover(剩饭)
food.
They
believe
that
any
leftovers
attract
evil(邪恶)
spirits
in
the
night,
so
the
food
is
dried
up
in
the
can
and
the
can
is
then
thrown
out
of
the
hut.
Otherwise
they
don't
waste
anything.
We
left
the
village
the
next
morning
after
many
goodbyes
and
firm
handshakes.
My
muscles
were
aching
and
my
knees
shaking?
as
we
climbed
down
the
mountain
towards
home.
That
evening
I
fell
happily
into
bed.
It
was
such
a
privilege
to
have
spent
a
day?
with
Tombe's
family.
It's
getting
late
and
I
have
to
prepare
tomorrow's
lessons
and
do
some
paperwork.
Please
write
soon.
Love,
Jo
后来,我注意到一个锡罐倒放在火炉的烤架上。过了一会儿,汤贝把它从门口扔了出去。我迷惑了。汤贝告诉我说,给罐子加热是为了把里面的剩余食物烧干。他们相信剩饭会在夜晚引来邪灵,所以要把食物放在罐里烧干,再把罐子扔到屋外去。除此以外,他们不会浪费任何东西。
第二天早晨,经过一番握手道别之后,我们就离开了村庄。我们下山回家的时候,我的肌肉发痛,膝盖发抖。那天晚上我感觉很开心,倒在床上就睡着了。跟汤贝一家度过一天真是一种殊荣。
天色很晚了,我必须得准备明天的课并且要做一些文书工作。请早日来信。
爱你的,
乔

[名师点津]
when作并列连词的用法是高考考查的热点,主要考查两方面的内容:①由when连接的两个并列分句的时态运用;②并列连词when的选用,注意不能误用为其他连词。
(教材P30)When
hot,he
placed
them
in
an
empty
oil
drum
with
kau
kau
(sweet
potato),corn
and
greens.
烧热之后,他把石头放在一个空油桶里,加上一些考考(甜的红薯)、玉米和青菜。
【要点提炼】 when
hot为时间状语从句的省略形式,其完整形式为:when
they
were
hot。
状语从句的省略
(1)在when,while,if,as
if,though,although,as,until,once,whether,unless等连词引导的时间、地点、条件、方式、让步或比较状语从句中,如果谓语动词为be,主语又与主句的主语一致或主语是it时,则从句的主语或it和be动词可以省略。
(2)状语从句省略主语时,后面常用现在分词表示该动作与被省略的主语为主动关系;用过去分词表示该动作与被省略的主语为被动关系。
①If
(it
is)
true,this
will
cause
us
a
lot
of
trouble.
如果是真的,这会给我们带来很多麻烦。
②When
(she
was)
very
young,she
began

④If
accepted
(accept)
for
the
job,you'll
be
informed
soon.
如果你被接受做这项工作将很快得到通知。
[巧学妙记] 状语从句省略口诀
省略句,真容易,符合两条就可以;
从句谓语含有be,两句主语一样的;
从句若有it
be,照样省去不迟疑;
选择?ed或?ing,主动被动辨仔细。

【分析】 句中how引导的从句作动词wonder的宾语;most
of
whom引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词these
students。
【翻译】 有时候,我真想知道化学对这些学生究竟有多大的用处。反正他们中大多数人上完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去。

【分析】 句子的主干是We
walked
for
two
and
a
half
hours
to
get
there;破折号后的部分起进一步解释说明的作用;from
where引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词a
ridge。
【翻译】 我们步行了两个半小时才到达那里——先是爬山爬到山脊,在那儿能看到奇丽的景色,然后走下一个陡坡,一直走到下边的山谷。
3.(教材P29)Tombe's

to
his
house,a
low
bamboo
hut
with
grass
sticking
out
of
the

shows
it
is
a
man's
house.
【分析】 句中Mukap作Tombe's
father的同位语;a
low
bamboo
hut作his
house的同位语;with
grass
sticking
out
of
the
roof是介词with的复合结构作定语,修饰名词a
low
bamboo
hut;it
is
a
man's
house为省略that的宾语从句。
【翻译】 汤贝的父亲叫莫卡普,他把我们带进他的房子,这是一个低矮的顶上有草伸出来的小竹屋——这表示这间房子是男人住的。

photos,在从句中作主语;I
talk

that/which(在从句中作宾语)的定语从句,修饰表物的先行词the
places。3.例句2中黑体部分为who引导的定语从句修饰表人的先行词The

一、定语从句的相关概念
1.定语从句
在复合句中作定语修饰主句中某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。
2.先行词
被定语从句修饰的词叫先行词。
3.关系词
引导定语从句的词叫关系词。关系词分为关系代词(that,which,who,whom,whose,as等)和关系副词(when,where,why等)两类。关系词通常有三个作用:
(1)连接定语从句;(2)指代先行词;(3)在定语从句中充当一个句子成分。
4.限制性定语从句
用来修饰和限制先行词,与先行词之间的关系非常密切,它所修饰的先行词代表一个(些)或一类特指的人或物,说明先行词的性质、身份、特征等状况,如果去掉,则意思含混不清。
She
is
the
girl
that
you
want
to
know.(限制性定语从句)
她是你想认识的女孩。
He
seems
not
to
have
grasped
what
I
meant,which
greatly
upsets
me.(非限制性定语从句)他似乎没理解我的意思,这使我很心烦。

定语从句中的主谓一致
当关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句中谓语动词的数原则上要与先行词保持一致,但要注意以下几点:先行词是“one
of+复数名词”结构时,关系代词引导的定语从句中的谓语动词一般用复数形式;但如有the
very,the
only,the
first,the
last,the
right等修饰one时,谓语动词用单数。
This
is
one
of
the
most
interesting
questions
that
have

这是被问过的最有意思的问题之一。
She
is
the
only

whose
children

lot
of
noise.
②We'll
reach
the
sales
targets
in
a
month
which/that
we
set
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
三、使用关系代词的注意事项
1.who可取代whom在从句中作动词的宾语,也可省略。如果whom在从句中作介词的宾语,且介词提前只能用whom。
This
is
the
pilot
(who/whom)
I
bought
a
camera
for.=
This
is
the
pilot
for
whom
I
bought
a
camera.
这个就是我给他买照相机的飞行员。
2.whose既表示人又表示物,在从句中作定语,往往修饰名词,whose常表达“某人的、某物的”之意。whose表示物时,whose+名词=the+名词+of
which。
Please
pass
me
the
book
whose
cover(=the
cover
of
which)
is
green.
请递给我那本绿皮的书。
3.指物时用that而不用which的情况
(1)当先行词为all,everything,nothing,anything,something,none,few,little,much等不定代词时。
All
(that)
the
graduate
lacks
is
practice.
那位毕业生缺少的只是实践。
(2)当先行词被very,both,the
only,all等修饰时。
This
is
the
only
coat
that
I
have.
这是我拥有的唯一的外套。
(3)当先行词被形容词的最高级修饰或序数词修饰时。
This
is
the
most
attractive
match
that
I
have
watched.
这是我所看过的比赛中最吸引人的一场。
(4)当并列的两个先行词(分别表示人和物时)被同一个从句修饰时,关系代词用that。
She
took
photos
of
people
and
things
(that)
she
was
interested
in.
她给她所感兴趣的人和物拍照。
(5)主句是以who,which,what开头的特殊疑问句时,定语从句一般用that引导,不用who或which。
Who
was
the
person
that
helped
the
girl
out?
帮助那个女孩摆脱困境的是谁?
(6)当关系代词在从句中作表语时,常用that。
Your
disease
is
not
the
case
that
it
used
to
be.
你的病已经不是过去的情况了。
4.用as引导限制性定语从句的情况
(1)such+名词+as...“像……一样的……”
Do
you
have
such
books
as
we
like?
你有我们喜欢的那种书吗?
(2)the
same+名词+as...“和……同样……”
It's
the
same
person
as
we
wanted
to
find
yesterday.
他/她就是我们昨天要找的人。
(3)as+形容词+名词+as...“像……一样的……”
She
will
marry
as
wealthy
a
man
as
she
can
find.
她将嫁给一个她能找到的有钱人。
5.用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句的情况
有时从句中的介词可以提前到关系代词之前,形成“介词+关系代词”结构,关系代词可以用which,whose,whom,不可以用that。其选择依据如下:
(1)根据定语从句中动词或形容词等的习惯搭配。
I
bought
a
great
many
books
on
which
I
spent
all
my
money
that
I
saved.
我买了很多书,这些书花光了我所有的积蓄。
(2)依据与先行词的搭配。
This
is
the
camera
with
which
he
often
takes
photos.
这就是他经常用来拍照的相机。
(3)根据所表达的意义。
This
is
the
pilot
by
whom
my
son
was
saved.
这就是救了我儿子的那位飞行员。
[即时训练3] 用适当的关系词填空
①Please

all
the
information
that
you
have
about
the
candidate
for
the
position.
②In

class
there
are
46
students,of
whom
half
wear
glasses.
③She
is
such
a
nice
girl
as
we
all
like.
四、关系副词的基本用法
关系副词when,why,where在定语从句中分别代替表示时间、原因、地点的先行词,并分别在从句中作时间、原因、地点状语。另外关系副词也可根据其在句中的搭配关系,转换成“介词+关系代词”的结构。
关系副词
被代替的先行词
在从句中的作用
when
表示时间的名词
时间状语
where
表示地点的名词
地点状语
why
表示原因的名词(只用reason)
原因状语

don't
know
the
exact
time
when(=at
which)
the
English
Evening

be
held.

Beijing

the
place
where(=in
which)
I
was
born.
北京是我的出生地。(地点状语)
Is
this
the
reason
why(=for
which)
he
refused
our
offer?
这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗?(原因状语)
[名师点津]
先行词是time的情况
当先行词是time时,若time表示“次数”,应用that引导定语从句,并且that可以省略;若time表示“一段时间”讲,应用when或“at/during+which”引导定语从句。
This
is
the
second
time
(that)
the
president
has
visited
the
country.
这是这位总统第二次访问这个国家。
This
is
a
time
when/during
which
there
were
no
radios,no
telephones
or
no
TV
sets.
这是在一个没有收音机,没有电话,也没有电视的时代。

book
and
know
my
feelings
for
her.
③We
don't
know
the
reason
why
they
didn't
keep
their
promise.
五、使用关系副词的注意事项
1.当先行词为表示方式的the
way时,从句不能用how来引导,应该用that或in
which,或省略不用。
We
admire
the
way
(that/in
which)
he
solved
the
problem.
我们敬佩他解决这一问题的方式。
2.表示抽象地点的名词(case,scene,situation,condition,life,point等)作先行词,且从句中缺少地点状语时,常用关系副词where引导定语从句。
There
are
cases
where(=in
which)
the
word
“mighty”
is
used
as
an
adverb.
在一些情况下,mighty一词可用作副词。
3.occasion,period等作先行词时,且从句中缺少时间状语,常用关系副词when。
There
are
occasions
when(=on
which)
one
must
yield.任何人都有不得不屈服的时候。(时间状语)

If
you
take
a
look
at
the
best?selling
books
in
the
UK
these
days,it
is
almost
certain
that
there
will
be
a
lot
of
autobiographies(自传)
in
that
list.Bill
Clinton,Nelson
Mandela
and
actor
Michael
J
Fox
have
all
written
them.An
autobiography
is
the
story
of
a
person's
life,written
by
that
person.It
is
usually
a
very
famous
person
who
might
tell
us
all
about
their
childhood,how
they
became
famous
and
any
other
interesting
things
that
have
happened
in
their
lives.
Traditionally,someone
would
write
an
autobiography
when
they
were
older
because
they
had
had
a
long,successful
life.However,these
days
there
are
many
magazines
with
stories
and
photos
of
the
stars
which
sell
very
well.Reality
TV
shows
are
extremely
popular
and
lots
of
people
become
famous
very
easily
just
from
being
on
the
TV
rather
than
being
able
to
sing
or
act
well.As
a
result,people
become
famous
very
quickly
and
as
soon
as
they
are
famous,a
lot
of
money
can
be
made
from
writing
an
autobiography,even
if
they
are
very
young.
So
now
you
can
find
an
autobiography
from
almost
everyone
who
is
in
the
public
eye.Even
though
we
can
follow
the
lives
of
the
stars
very
closely
on
TV
or
in
magazines
nowadays,we
maybe
don't
know
how
they
live
their
lives
from
day
to
day.Autobiographies
often
give
the
information
we
never
knew
about
the
stars.The
British
public
are
very
curious
to
find
out
more
so
they
are
very
eager
to
read
autobiographies.
Not
every
star
wants
to
write
though.Sometimes
stars
employ
writers
to
write
their
life
stories
for
them.The
writer
will
interview
the
stars,listen
to
everything
they
want
to
say,record
interviews
and
then
write
books
based
on
their
words.David
Beckham
did
this
with
his
book
My
Side.
Not
everyone
likes
to
read
books
regularly
but
they
might
like
to
read
about
the
lives
of
stars.Autobiographies
are
helping
to
get
more
British
people
reading
books.About
100
million
autobiographies
are
sold
in
Britain
every
year.More
stars
depend
on
them
for
extra
income
and
as
more
of
these
books
appear
in
the
shops,more
people
are
sure
to
keep
buying
them.
【参考范文】
Autobiographies,stories
written
by
famous
people
about
themselves,are
popular
in
the
UK.(要点1)But
unlike
traditional
ones,many
of
today's
autobiographies
are
about
young
stars
who
rise
to
fame
quickly.(要点2)As
they
often
contain

unknown
before,readers
are
keen
on
reading
them.(要点3)Not

hire

William
Shakespeare
(excerpt)
Toby
remembers
My
name
is
Toby.I'm
an
old
man,eighty?three
this
spring.My
house
is
right
in
the
middle
of
Stratford?upon?Avon,and
I
can
watch
the
street
market
from
my
window.But
I
live
very
quietly
now.
I'm
just
an
old
man,sitting
in
a
chair.I
once
knew
the
greatest
man
in
England.For
thirty
years
I
was
his
friend.I
worked
with
him
in
the
theatre,through
the
good
times
and
the
bad
times.He
was
a
good
friend
to
me.He
was
also
the
best
playwright,the
best
poet,that
ever
lived
in
England.
Will
Shakespeare
was
his
name.I
saw
all
his
plays
in
the
theatre.People
loved
them.They
shouted,laughed
and
cried,ate
oranges,and
called
for
more.All
kinds
of
people.Kings,Queens,Princes,great
lords
and
ladies,poor
people,the
boys
who
held
the
horses...everyone.Will
Shakespeare
could
please
them
all.
He
put
me
in
a
play
once.Well,he
used
my
name—Toby.Twelfth
Night
was
the
name
of
the
play,I
remember.Sir
Toby
Belch.He
was
a
big
fat
man,who
liked
drinking
too
much
and
having
a
good
time.
Queen
Elizabeth
the
First
watched
that
play—Twelfth
Night
on,the
6th
of
January,1601.She
liked
it,too.
Will's
dead
now,of
course.He's
been
dead
more
than
thirty
years,and
no
one
sees
his
plays
now.
The
Puritans
have
closed
all
the
theatres.There's
no
singing,no
dancing,no
plays.
It
wasn't
like
that
in
my
young
days.We
had
a
good
time
in
London,Will
and
I.
I've
no
teeth
now,and
my
hair
has
all
fallen
out,but
I
can
still
think—and
remember.I
remember
when
Will
and
I
were
young,just
boys
really...
It
was
a
sunny
day
in
October
1579
when
I
first
met
Will,just
outside
Stratford,near
a
big
field
of
apple
trees.I
saw
a
boy
up
in
one
of
the
trees.He
had
red
hair
and
looked
about
two
years
older
than
me.
What
are
you
doing
up
there?I
called.
Just
getting
a
few
apples,he
said,smiling.
Those
are
Farmer
Nash's
apples,I
said,and
he'll
send
his
dogs
after
you
if
he
sees
you.
Mr
Nash
has
gone
to
market,the
boy
said.Come
on!They're
good
apples.
The
next
minute
I
was
up
the
tree
with
him.
But
Will
was
wrong.Farmer
Nash
wasn't
at
the
market,and
a
few
minutes
later
we
saw
his
angry
red
face
above
the
wall
on
the
far
side
of
the
field.
Will
and
I
ran
like
the
wind
and
only
stopped
when
we
reached
the
river.We
sat
down
to
eat
our
apples.
Will
was
fifteen,and
lived
in
Henley
Street,he
told
me.His
father
was
John
Shakespeare,and
he
had
a
sister,Joan,and
two
younger
brothers,Gilbert
and
Richard.There
was
another
sister
who
died,I
learnt
later.
And
the
next
year
he
had
another
brother,little
Edmund—the
baby
of
the
family.
Now,what
about
you?he
asked.
There's
only
me
and
my
sister,I
said.My
parents
are
dead,and
we
live
with
my
mother's
brother:He's
a
shoe?maker
in
Ely
Street
and
I
work
for
him.
What
do
you
do?
I
go
to
Mr
Jenkins'
school
in
Church
Street,Will
said.Every
day,from
seven
o'clock
until
five
o'clock.Not
Sundays,of
course.
I
was
sorry
for
him.
Isn't
it
boring?I
asked.
Sometimes.Usually
it's
all
right.He
lay
back
and
put
his
hands
behind
his
head.But
we
have
to
read
and
learn
all
these
Latin
writers.I
want
to
read
modern
writers,and
English
writers,like
Geoffrey
Chaucer.
Can
you
read?he
asked.
Of
course
I
can
read!I
said.I
went
to
school.
Will
sat
up
and
began
to
eat
another
apple.I
want
to
be
a
writer,he
said.A
poet.I
want
that
more
than
anything
in
the
world.
We
were
friends
from
that
day,until
the
day
he
died.
We
met
nearly
every
day,and
he
taught
me
a
lot
about
books
and
poetry
and
writers.He
always
had
his
nose
in
a
book.
When
Will
left
school,he
worked
for
his
father
in
Henley
Street.John
Shakespeare
was
a
glove?maker,and
he
had
other
business
too,like
buying
and
selling
sheep.
《威廉·莎士比亚》(节选)
托比的回忆
我叫托比,一位年迈的老人,今年春天年过83岁。家住艾汶河畔斯特拉福镇中心,透过窗户,便可以望到街道的闹市。我的生活平和宁静。
毕竟我已是一位要在轮椅上安度晚年的老头子了。我曾认识英国的一位最伟大的人物。我与他相交30年,同在剧团工作,也共同度过人生中欢乐与艰辛的岁月。他是我的好友。也是英国有史以来最优秀的剧作家,最杰出的诗人。
他就是威尔·莎士比亚。我看过他所有上演的戏剧。这些戏剧颇受欢迎,也一度令观众狂喜大悲,不过他们都希望能看到他更多的戏剧。形形色色的人,上自国王、王后、王子和豪富名女,下至贫苦百姓和牵马的脚夫……所有的人,威尔·莎士比亚都能令他们开心欢娱。
他曾将我写进剧本,剧中用了我的原名——托比。我记得剧名为《第十二夜》,剧中的托比·培尔契爵士又大又胖而且喜欢酗酒行乐。
女王伊丽莎白一世于1601年1月6号观看了此剧——《第十二夜》,也很喜欢。
当然威尔现在已不在人世,他过世都30多年了,如今没有人能看到他的戏。
自从清教徒关闭了所有的剧院,就不再有歌声、舞蹈和戏剧了。
如今的情形同我年轻时与威尔在伦敦度过的快乐时光相比已经大不一样了。
我现在没有牙齿了,头发也掉光了,但我还能思考——还能回忆,我记得威尔和我年轻的时候,还是孩子的时候……
我第一次遇见威尔是在1579年10月的一天。那天,阳光明媚,就在斯特拉福镇外一座大苹果园附近,我看见有棵苹果树上坐着一位小男孩,长着红棕色头发,看模样大概大我两岁。
你在上边干什么?我叫道。
摘苹果。他笑着答道。
那可是纳什农场主的苹果,我说,如果他发现了,就要放狗咬你的。
纳什先生去集市了,男孩说道,来吧!苹果不错。
一会儿我也上了树。
但是威尔错了,纳什先生并没去集市,几分钟后我们看见果园那端墙头露出一张气得发红的脸。
威尔和我见势撒腿就跑,一口气跑到河边才坐下来吃苹果。
威尔告诉我,他15岁,住在亨里街。家中有父亲约翰·莎士比亚,妹妹琼和两个弟弟,吉尔伯特和理查。我后来听说他另有一位姐姐死了。
第二年他又添了一个弟弟——威尔家的赤子小埃德蒙。
那么你呢?他问道。
家里只有我和姐姐。我说,父母死后我们住在舅舅家。他是埃利街的一个鞋匠,我为他打工。
你现在干什么?
我在教堂街詹金斯先生的学校就读,威尔说,每天从上午7点到下午5点上学,当然不包括星期天。
我真为他难过。
这难道不乏味吗?我问道。
偶尔有这种感觉,不过通常觉得学校的生活也不错。他仰身躺下,双手枕着头,在学校,我们不得不学习所有那些拉丁作家的作品。可我只想阅读现代作家和英国作家的作品,比如杰弗利·乔叟。
你会看书吗?他问道。
当然会啦!我说,我上过学。
威尔坐起来又吃了一个苹果。我想成为作家,他继续说道,诗人。世上再没有比这更令我神往的。
自那天起我们就成了莫逆之交,直到他过世。
我们几乎每天见面,他教了我许多书本和文学上的知识。他总是埋头博览群书。
威尔离开学校后就在亨里街帮助父亲料理生意。约翰·莎士比亚是一位手套工匠,同时经营其他生意,如羊的买卖生意。
But
Will
wasn't
interested.
What
are
we
going
to
do,Toby?he
said
to
me
one
day.We
can't
spend
all
our
lives
making
shoes
and
gloves!
Well,I
said,we
could
run
away
to
sea
and
be
sailors.Sail
round
the
world,like
Francis
Drake.
Drake
sailed
back
to
Plymouth
in
1581,after
his
three?year
journey
round
the
world,but
we
were
still
in
Stratford.
We
made
lots
of
plans,but
nothing
ever
came
of
them.
Will
was
still
reading
a
lot
and
he
was
already
writing
poems
himself.He
sometimes
showed
them
to
me,and
I
said
they
were
very
good.I
didn't
really
know
anything
about
poetry
then,but
he
was
my
friend.Will
was
not
happy
with
his
writing.
I've
got
so
much
to
learn,Toby,he
said.So
much
to
learn.
Poor
Will.He
had
a
lot
to
learn
about
women,too.
One
day
in
October
1582
he
came
to
my
house
with
a
long
face.
I'll
never
leave
Stratford,
he
said.
Why
not?I
asked.We'll
get
away
one
day.You'll
see.
Perhaps
you
will,he
said,but
I'm
going
to
be
married
in
a
few
weeks'
time.To
Anne
Hathaway.
My
mouth
fell
open
and
stayed
open.Married!To
Anne
Hathaway?Is
that
the
Hathaways
over
at
Shottery?
Yes,Will
said.
I
was
working
on
some
shoes
on
the
table,and
Will
picked
one
up
and
looked
at
it.
Well,er,she's
a
fine
girl,of
course,I
said
uncomfortably.But...but,Will,she's
twenty?six
and
you're
only
eighteen!
I
know,Will
said.But
I've
got
to
marry
her.
Oh
no!I
said.You
mean,she's...
That's
right,said
Will.In
about
six
months'
time
I'm
going
to
be
a
father.
但威尔对做生意却不感兴趣。
托比,接下来你有何打算?有一天他问我。我们不能一辈子都做鞋和做手套吧!
对呀,我说,我们跑到海上当海员,像弗朗西斯·杜雷克一样环绕地球航行。
杜雷克在环绕地球航行三年后于1581年回到普利茅斯,可我们还是待在斯特拉福镇。
尽管也制定了种种计划,但始终未付诸行动。
这段时间威尔依然博览群书并开始自己写诗,偶尔给我看他写的诗。虽然嘴上我都说他的诗写得好,实际上我对诗歌是一窍不通。只不过他是我的好友我才这么说而已。威尔对自己的诗歌并不满意。
托比,我要学的东西太多了。他说,实在太多了。
可怜的威尔。他还得学会了解女人。
1582年10月的一天他来到我的住处,神情沉郁。
我永远不能离开斯特拉福镇了。他说。
为什么不能?我问道,总有一天我们会离开此地。你等着瞧。
或许你还行,他说,但过几个星期我就要结婚了。同安·哈瑟维结婚。
一听此言我张着嘴愣了好久。结婚!同安·哈瑟维结婚?你是说肖特雷邻乡哈瑟维家的女儿?
没错,威尔说。
当时我在做鞋,威尔拿起桌上一支鞋,看看。
当然,嗯,她是个好姑娘,我同情地说道,不过……不过,威尔,她已经26岁了,你才18岁呀!
我知道,威尔说,但是我非娶她不行。
哦,不可能这样吧!我说,你是说,她已经……
你猜对了,威尔说道,再过6个月我就要当爸爸了。
