porches and lawns, always holding hands.
As we staff members ate our evening meal,
sometimes Kate and Chris would walk
slowly by the dining-room doors. Then
conversation would turn to a discussion of
the couple’s love and devotion, and what
would happen when one of them died. We
knew Chris was the strong one, and Kate
was dependent upon him. [4] How
would Kate function if Chris were to die
first? We often wondered. [5]
Bedtime followed a ritual. When I brought
the evening medication, Kate would be
sitting in her chair, in nightgown and
slippers, awaiting my arrival. Under the
watchful eyes of Chris and myself, Kate
would take her pill, then carefully Chris
would help her from the chair to the bed
and tuck the covers in around her frail
body. [6] Observing this act of love, I
would think for the thousandth time, good
heavens, why don’t nursing homes have

double beds for married couples? All their
lives they have slept together, but in a
nursing home, they’re expected to sleep in
single beds. Overnight they’re deprived of
a comfort of a lifetime. [7] How very
foolish such policies are, I would think as I
watched Chris reach up and turn off the
light above Kate’s bed. Then tenderly he
would bend, and they would kiss gently.
Chris would pat her cheek, and both would
smile. He would pull up the side rail on
her bed, and only then would he turn and
accept his own medication. As I walked
into the hall, I could hear Chris say, “Good
night, Kate,” and her returning voice,
“Good night, Chris,” while the space of an
entire room separated their two beds.
[8] I had been off duty two days and when
I returned, the first news I heard was,
“Chris died yesterday morning.” [9]
“How?” [10] “A heart attack. It
happened quickly.” [11] “How’s Kate?”

[12] “Bad.” [13] I went into Kate’s
room. She sat in her chair, motionless,
hands in her lap, staring. Taking her hands
in mine, I said, “Kate, it’s Phyllis.”
[14] Her eyes never shifted; she only
stared. I placed my hand under her chin
and slowly turned her head so she had to
look at me. [15] “Kate, I just found
out about Chris. I’m so sorry.” [16]
At the word “Chris”, her eyes came back
to life. She looked at me, puzzled, as
though wondering how I had suddenly
appeared. “ Kate, it’s me, Phyllis. I’m so
sorry about Chris.” [17] Recognition
and sadness flooded her face. Tears welled
up and slid down her cheeks. “Chris is
gone,” she whispered. [18] “I know,”
I said. “I know.” [19] We pampered
Kate for a while, letting her eat in her
room, surrounding her with special
attention. Then gradually the staff worked
her back into the old schedule. Often, as I --------------------精选公文范文，管理类，工作总结类，工作计划类文档，感谢阅 读下载---------------------

went past her room, I would observe Kate
sitting in her chair, scrapbooks on her lap,
gazing sadly at pictures of Chris. [20]
Bedtime was the worst part of the day for
Kate. Although she was allowed to move
from her bed to Chris’s bed, and although
the staff chatted and laughed with her as
they tucked her in for the night, still Kate
remained silent and sadly withdrawn.
Passing her room an hour after she had
been tucked in, I’d find her wide awake,
staring at the ceiling. [21] The weeks
passed, and bedtime wasn’t any better. She
seemed so restless, so insecure. Why? I
wondered. Why this time of day more than
the other hours? [22] Then one night
as I walked into her room, only to find the
same wide-awake Kate, I said impulsively,
“Kate, could it be you miss your
good-night kiss?” Bending down, I kissed
her wrinkled cheek. [23] It was as
though I had opened the floodgates. Tears

“Chris always kissed me good-night,” she
cried. [24] “I know,” I whispered.
[25] “ I miss him so, all those years he
kissed me good- night.” She paused while I
wiped the tears. “ I just can’t seem to go to
sleep without his kiss.” [26] She
looked up at me, her eyes full of tears. “Oh,
thank you for giving me a kiss.” [27] A
small smile turned up the corners of her
mouth. “You know,” she said
confidentially, “Chris used to sing me a
song.” [28] “He did?” [29]
“Yes,”—her white head nodded—“and I
lie here at night and think about it.” [30]
“How did it go?” [31] Kate smiled,
held my hand and cleared her throat. Then
her voice, small with age but still
melodious, lifted softly in song: So kiss
me, my sweet, and so let us part. And
when I grow too old to dream, That kiss
will live in my heart. 献给凯特的

我值班的时候，都要走过养老院的过道，
在每个门口停下来看一看，聊一聊。经
常 ，凯特和克里斯两个人腿上放着大大
的剪贴本，他们看着相片，缅怀往事。
凯特很骄傲地向我展 示逝去岁月的相

久性地保留在了剪贴簿上，这时候他们
看起来真可爱。 2 年轻人对爱情的了< br>解少得可怜，我常常这样想。然而对于
这样珍贵的东西却以为他们才拥有专利

什么，老年人知道；年轻人只能猜测。 3

晚饭的 时候，有时凯特和克里斯正慢慢
地走过餐厅门口。这时话题就会转向对
这一对老夫妇的讨论，关 于他们的爱和
忠诚执著，以及他们之一去世了另一个
会怎么样。我们知道克里斯是强者，凯特总是依靠着他。 4 如果克里斯
先去世，凯特会怎么过生活？我们常常
在想这一问题。 5 像往常一样，
到了上床睡觉的时候，我就把晚上的药
拿给凯特，她就坐在她的椅子里，穿着
睡衣和拖 鞋，等着我的到来。在我和克
里斯的注视下，凯特吃下药，然后克里
斯帮她从椅子上扶到床上， 给她那瘦弱
的身上盖好被子。 6 看到这一爱
的举动，我又一次地想，天哪，养老院
为什么不给那些老年夫妇提供双人床？
整个一生中他们都睡在一起，但是到了
养老院， 却要他们睡单人床。一夜之间
他们就被剥夺了一生的安慰。 7
这种政策真愚蠢，当 我看着克里斯手伸
上去，关上凯特床头的电灯时常常会这
样想。然后克里斯弯下腰，两人轻轻亲

总是把她床边上的横档拉上以后，然后
才转过身去拿自己的药。 当我走到过道
上的时候，我能听见克里斯说：“晚安，
凯特”以及她回答的声音“晚安，克里< br>斯；”他们的两张床在房间的两边，中间
隔着整个房间。 8 我有两天休
班，当我回来时，我听到的第一个消息
是：“克里斯昨天上午去世了。” 9 “怎
么回事？” 10 “心脏病，突发。” 11
“凯特怎么样？” 12 “不好。” 13
我走进凯特的房间。她坐在椅子上，一
动不动，手放在膝上，目光呆滞。我握
着她的 双手说，“凯特，我是菲丽
丝。” 14 她的眼睛一动不动，
只是呆呆地瞪着。我用手 托着她的下巴，
让她慢慢转过头来，好让她看着我。
15 “凯特，我刚刚得知克里斯的事。
我很难过。” 16 听到“克里斯”
这个词，她的眼 睛重现生机。她看看我，
迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎么突然出

里斯的死真的很难过。” 17 她
认出我了，于是一脸悲伤，泪如泉涌并
沿着 脸颊流下来。“克里斯死了，”她轻
声说。 18 “我知道，”我说，“我知道。”
19 我们有一阵子对凯特特别照顾，让
她在自己的房间里吃饭，给予她特殊的
关 注。接着工作人员帮她渐渐回到敬老
院以前的日程安排。常常，当我走过凯
特的房间，我会发现 她坐在椅子上，腿
上放着剪贴本，悲伤地注视着克里斯的

睡觉是最难熬的时候。虽然已允许她从
自己的床上搬到克里斯的床上，虽然工

无睡意，我一时冲动就说： “凯特，会不
会是因为没人亲吻你道晚安吧？”俯下
身，我吻了吻她那布满皱纹的脸颊。
23 就好像我打开了感情的闸门，眼泪
顺着她的脸淌下来，她紧紧抓住我的手。
“克里斯总是亲吻我说晚安，”她哭道。
24 “我知道，”我轻声说。 25
“我很想念他，这么多年以来他总是亲吻
我说晚安。”她停下来让我帮她擦眼泪。
“没有他的吻 我就是无法入睡。” 26
她抬头看着我，眼里充满了泪水。“噢，

她点点了点她那满是白发的头，“我晚上

会永远留在我心里。 Benefits from
Pets Maxine Huffman [1] Recently, a
number of newspapers carried a very
small article entitled “Things You Can
Learn from Your Dog”. The article listed
seven things done regularly by pet dogs
which could be helpful to pet owners if
they themselves did them. These things are:
1) When your loved one comes home, run
to greet him. 2) Eat with pleasure. 3)
When it’s hot, drink lots of water. 4) Take
naps. 5) Don’t bite, just growl. 6) When
you want something badly, dig for it. 7)
Give unconditional love. [2] There
are many people who would like to insist
that only human beings are capable of
feeling the emotion of love. However,
there are many more people, usually pet
owners, who feel that they not only love
their pets, but that their pets love them in
return. This is only one, but a very
important, benefit of owning a pet. All of

us want to enjoy good health. Thousands
of articles are written in newspapers and
magazines giving advice of all types as to
what people should be doing if they wish
to improve their chances of having good
health. Most often this advice includes
suggestions that we should eat right,
exercise, take vitamins and get a pet. Why
get a pet? Because more and more studies
are showing that people who have pets are
healthier, both physically and mentally,
than those who don’t. Right now more
than half of the households in the United
States have a companion animal. That
includes 51 million dogs, 56 million cats,
45 million birds, and other small animals.
[3] Besides the obvious things, like being
cute, interesting to watch, and a lot of fun,
pets do more for us than we often realize.

look, how you are dressed, or what you are
doing. Pets love you unconditionally and
don’t require brilliant conversation. A
simple “good boy” and a pat on the head
or scratch under the chin is enough for
them. They will find ways to let you know
their appreciation of your praise, whether
it is by wagging their tails, rubbing against
you, purring, or simply looking at you
with adoring eyes. [4] People who
own pets often remark on what good
company they are and what fun they have
together. Pet experts and researchers
identify many other additional benefits that
come with pet ownership or interaction. In
addition to those mentioned thus far, pets
ease stress and anxiety, aid relaxation,
provide a sense of security, and are a great
diversion from troubles. One medical
study showed that people’s blood pressure
would fall when they stroked their
pets. [5] Pets are increasingly being

used in therapy for the elderly and those
who have Alzheimer’s disease or physical
disabilities. One lady in Tucson, Arizona,
shares her lovely little dog with many
elderly nursing home residents. She takes
her dog there at least once or twice a week
and allows the elderly people to hold and
pat her little dog. They eagerly await its
arrival and always ask when she and her
dog will be back. She is just one of
hundreds of people who share their pets
with the old and lonely. And then, of
course, there are countless stories of dogs
trained to aid blind, deaf, or wheel-chair
bound individuals, often allowing them to
live independently when otherwise this
would not be possible. The love between
these people and their four-footed friends
is touching. Even brushing or patting a dog
is great physical therapy, and we all know
the benefits of walking, which is
something a dog needs too. [6] James

Unit1Love新编大学英语第二版第二
册课文翻译分解

Unit 1 Love A Good Heart to
Lean On Augustus J. Bullock
More than I realized, Dad has helped me
keep my balance. [1] When I was
growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen
with my father. He was severely crippled
and very short, and when we would walk
together, his hand on my arm for balance,
people would stare. I would be ashamed of
the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed
or was bothered, he never let on. [2]
It was difficult to coordinate our
steps—his halting, mine impatient—and
because of that, we didn’t say much as we
went along. But as we started out, he
always said, “You set the pace. I will try to
adjust to you. ” [3] Our usual walk
was to or from the subway, which was how

he got to work. He went to work sick, and
despite nasty weather. He almost never
missed a day, and would make it to the
office even if others could not. It was a
matter of pride for him. [4] When
snow or ice was on the ground, it was
impossible for him to walk, even with help.
At such times my sisters or I would pull
him through the streets of Brooklyn , , on
a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance.
Once there, he would cling to the handrail
until he reached the lower steps that the
warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In
Manhattan the subway station was the
basement of his office building, and he
would not have to go outside again until
we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
[5] When I think of it now, I marvel at how
much courage it must have taken for a
grown man to subject himself to such
indignity and stress. And I marvel at how
he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

[6] He never talked about himself as an
object of pity, nor did he show any envy of
the more fortunate or able. What he looked
for in others was a “good heart”, and if he
found one, the owner was good enough for
him. [7] Now that I am older, I
believe that is a proper standard by which
to judge people, even though I still don’t
know precisely what a “good heart” is. But
I know the times I don’t have one myself.
[8] Unable to engage in many activities,
my father still tried to participate in some
way. When a local baseball team found
itself without a manager, he kept it going.
He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and
often took me to Ebbets Field to see the
Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to
dances and parties, where he could have a
good time just sitting and watching.
[9] On one memorable occasion a fight
broke out at a beach party, with everyone
punching and shoving. He wasn’t content

to sit and watch, but he couldn’t stand
unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he
began to shout, “I’ll fight anyone who will
sit down with me! I’ll fight anyone who
will sit down with me! ” [10]
Nobody did. But the next day people
kidded him by saying it was the first time
any fighter was urged to take a dive even
before the bout began. [11] I now
know he participated in some things
vicariously through me, his only son.
When I played ball (poorly), he “played”
too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined”
too. And when I came home on leave, he
saw to it that I visited his office.
Introducing me, he was really saying,
“This is my son, but it is also me, and I
could have done this, too, if things had
been different. ” Those words were never
said aloud. [12] He has been gone
many years now, but I think of him often. I
wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be
