1、新概念英语第四册第47课:The great escapeFirst listen and then answer the following quesion. 听录音，然后回答以下问题。 What is one of the features of modern camping where nationality is concerned? Economy is one powerful motive for camping, since after the initial outlay upon equipment, or through hiring it, the total expe
2、nse can be far less than the cost of hotels. But, contrary to a popular assumption, it is far from being the only one, or even the greatest. The man who manoeuvres carelessly into his twenty pounds' worth of space at one of Europe's myriad permanent sites may find himself bumping a Bentley.
3、More likely, Ford Escort will be hub to hub with Renault or Mercedes, but rarely with bicycles made for two. 图省钱是露营的一个主要动机，因为除了起先时购置或是租借一套露营装备外，总费用算起来要比住旅馆开支少得多。但是，和一般的看法相反，这决非是仅有的， 甚至不是最主要的动机。假如一位游客漫不经心地驾车驶入欧洲多数常年营地之一，花20镑租用一个空位，那么他可能会碰见一辆本特利汽车，更可能会望见一辆 福特.康索尔或一辆雷诺或一辆梅塞迪斯并排停放着，不过双人自行车则不简单看到。 That t
4、he equipment of modern camping becomes yearly more sophisticated is an entertaining paradox for the cynic, a brighter promise for the hopeful traveler who has sworn to get away from it all. It also provides-and some student sociologist might care to base his thesis upon the phenomenon - an escape of
5、 another kind. The modern traveller is often a man who dislikes the Splendide and the Bellavista, not because he cannot afford, or shuns their material comforts. but because he is afford of them. Affluent he may be, but he is by no means sure what to tip the doorman or the chambermaid. Master in his
6、 own house, he has little idea of when to say boo to a maitre d'hotel. 现代露营装备一年比一年讲究，这对那些厌世嫉俗者来说是一件好玩的自相冲突的事情。而对于发誓用露营来摆脱苦恼的人来说，却带来了更光明的前景。学社会学 的高校生来露营是另一种形式的摆脱现实，他们的目的很可能是依据视察到的露营现象去写论文。现代露营旅游的人往往厌烦在“斯普兰迪德”和“贝拉维斯塔”这 样的大酒店，这并不是因为他们付不起钱，也不是为了躲避物质享受，而是因为他们胆怯酒店。他们可能很富有，但给看门人和房间女服务叫多少小费，心中却根本 没有数；他们
7、在家可能是主子，但不知道什么时候才能对酒店的经理表示不满。 From all such fears camping releases him. Granted, a snobbery of camping itself, based upon equipment and techniques, already exists; but it is of a kind that, if he meets it, he can readily understand and deal with. There is no superior 'they' in the shape of m
8、anagements and hotel hierarchies to darken his holiday days. 露营便人们免除了这些忧虑。诚然，露营地本身也存在以露营装备和方式取人的势利现象，但假如有这种状况，露营者也简单理解，知道如何应付，但在露营地里根本不会有管人的“人上人”和酒店里的等级制度来种露营者的假日过得阴郁低沉。 To such motives, yet another must be added. The contemporary phenomenon of car worship is to be explained not least by the sense o
9、f independence and freedom that ownership entails. To this pleasure camping gives an exquisite refinement. 除上以动机外，还应加上一个。当前崇拜汽车现象可以用与全部权相伴的独立和自由意识来说明。因此开车去露营会给这种欢乐意识增加一种优雅意境。 From one's own front door to home or foreign hills or sands and back again, everything is to hand. Not only are the means
10、 of arriving at the holiday paradise entirely within one's own command and keeping, but the means of escape from holiday hel (if the beach proves too crowded, the local weather too inclement) are there, outside - or, as likely, part of - the tent. 从自己的家门动身到国内国外的山区或沙滩上露营然后返回，一切都很便利。完全在自己驾驭之中的私人汽车
11、不仅是到达假日天堂的工具，而且也是逃离假日地狱（如海滩太挤，当地天气恶劣）便利工具，因为汽车就停在帐篷外面，或者汽车本身可能就是露营帐篷的一个组成部分。 Idealists have objected to the package tour, that the traveller abroad thereby denies himself the opportunity of getting to know the people of the country visited. Insularity and self-containment, it is argued, go hand in h
12、and. The opinion does not survive experience of a popular Continental camping place. Holiday hotels tend to cater for one nationality of visitors especially, sometimes exclusively. Camping sites, by contrast, are highly cosmopolitan. Granted, a preponderance of Germans is a characteristic that seems
13、 common to most Mediterranean sites; but as yet there is no overwhelmingly specialized patronage. Notices forbidding the open-air drying of clothes, or the use of water points for car washing, or those inviting 'our camping friends' to a dance or a boat trip are printed not only in French or
14、 Italian or Spanish, but also in English, German and Dutch. At meal times the odour of sauerkraut vies with that of garlic. The Frenchman's breakfast coffee competes with the Englishman's bacon and eggs. 志向主义者像反对旅行社支配一切的一揽子旅游一样反对露营的作法，说这种封闭的作法使到国外旅游者失去了了解所去国家人民的机会。他们争辩说，心胸狭窄和 自我封闭是并存的。但这种说法在
15、受人欢迎的欧洲露营地是站不住脚的。假日旅馆有只接待来自一个国家的旅游者的倾向，有时会达到排他的程度。而露营驻地则相 反，是高度世界性的。在大多数地中海露营地里，德国人占优势好像是个普遍现象，的确如此，但并没有特殊的优待。禁止露天晒衣服、禁止用水龙头冲洗汽车的布 告和邀请露营挚友参与舞会、乘船观光的招贴不仅印志法语、意大利语、西班牙语，而且也印成英语、德语、荷兰语。用饭的时候，德国泡菜味和大蒜味争相散发， 法国人的早点咖啡和英国人的咸肉煎蛋竞相比美。 Whether the remarkable growth of organized camping means the eventual dea
16、th of the more independent kind is hard to say. Municipalities naturally want to secure the campers' site fees and other custom. Police are wary of itinerants who cannot be traced to a recognized camp boundary or to four walls. But most probably it will all depend upon campers themselves: how ma
17、ny heath fires they cause; how much litter they leave; in short, whether or not they wholly alienate landowners and those who live in the countryside. Only good scouting is likely to preserve the freedoms so dear to the heart of the eternal Boy Scout. 有组织的露营活动的明显发展是否意味着较独立的自我封闭式露营的最终消逝，还很难说。市政当局当然希望
18、获得露营者的场地费和其他光临的好处，警察则对那些 查不出有固定营地或住处的游荡者保持警惕。但最重要的或许是露营者自己，即他们引起了多少场野火，留下了多少垃圾。总之，他们是否弄得土地的主子和乡间的 居民同他们反目。只有优良的童子军活动才能保持不朽的童子军所诚心酷爱的各项自由。 New words and expressions 生词和短语 assumption n. 假定 manoeuvre v. （驱车）移动 myriad adj. 多数的 paradox n. 自相冲突的呈 cynic n. 愤世嫉俗者 sociologist n. 社会学家 shun v. 避开 affluent adj.

20、惠顾 sauerkraut n. 泡菜 vie v. 竞争 municipality n. 市政当局 itinerant n. 巡回者 heath v. 荒地 alienate v. 便疏远 eternal adj. 永久的 Notes on the text课文注释 1 it is far from.,远不是。 2 twenty pounds' worth of space，价值20磅的空地，其中worth是名词。 3 hub to hub with，车轴与车轴相接。 4 the Splendide and the Bellavista，两大酒店的名字。 5 say boo to a
21、 maitre d'hotel，对酒店的经理表示不满。say boo to a maitre d'hotel，是从not say boo to a goose(特别胆小，不敢得罪)演化而来的。在这个成语中，a goose 常被人们幽默地换成其他字眼。 6 Granted,.but.（虽然但是）这种句型中的Granted总放在句首，意思是Yes,相当于一个连接副词的作用。 7 in the shape of,以形式出现的。 8 be to hand，垂手可得。 9 cater for，迎合。 10 be wary of，提放。 11 Boy Scout，童子军。Lesson 47 课后练习和答案Exercises and Answer
