few men are secure? The tools of his industry are so common and so cheap that they have almost ceased to have commercial value. He needs no bulky pile of raw material, no elaborate apparatus, no service of men or animals. He is dependent for his occupation upon no one but himself, and nothing outside him that his occupation upon no one but himself, and nothing outside him that maters. He is the sovereign of an empire, self supporting, self-contained. . . No one can deprive him of his stock in trade; no one can force him to exercise his faculty against his will; no one can prevent him exercising it as he chooses. The pen is the great liberator of men and nations. No chains can bind, no poverty can choke, no tariff can restrict the free play of his mind.
(From The Joys of Writing by Winston Churchill)
第4题
nt very few people have reached this level. Moreover, the exercise of choice is in itself tiresome. Except to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too unpleasant. Most of the idle rich suffer unspeakable boredom as the price of their freedom from hard work. At times, they may find relief by hunting big game in Africa, or by flying round the world, but the number of such sensations is limited, especially after youth is past. Accordingly the more intelligent rich men work nearly as hard as if they were poor, while rich women for the most part keep themselves busy with innumerable trifles, of whose earthshaking importance they are firmly persuaded.

仅突现在地面,还让它的根悬挂在空中;甚至盘缠贴附在树身上,使这些错综纠缠和变化万千的树根形成了老榕的古怪的衣裳。再没有一种植物,把“根”的作用显示于人类之前,像榕树这样的大胆和爽快的了。
在名山胜地的悬崖峭壁上,我甚至看过一些榕树,不需要多少泥土,也能够成长。一粒榕树种子落在峭壁上,依靠石头隙里一点点儿的泥土,好家伙!它成长起来了。它的根不能钻进坚硬的石头,就攀附在石壁上成长,在这种场合,这些根简直像一条条钢筋似的,它们发挥了奇特的作用,把石壁上的一点一滴的营养,都兼收并蓄,输送到树身去了。因此,你在石壁上看到有一株扭曲了的榕树在泰然地成长,一点也用不着惊奇。这样重视它的根的树木,在适宜的气候之中,还有什么地方不能生长的呢!

第8题
远的墙边,也蹲有一团黑影,但他却是伸手讨钱的。马路两旁,远远近近都立着灯窗明灿的别墅,向暗蓝的天空静静地微笑着。在马路仁是冷冰冰的,还刮着一阵阵猛厉的风。留在枝头的一两片枯叶,也不时发出破碎的哭声。
那蹲着的黑影,接了我的一枚铜板,就高兴地站起来向我搭话,一面抱怨着天气:“真冷呀,再没有比这里更冷了!……先生,你说是不是?”
看见他并不是个讨厌的老头子,便也高兴地说道:“乡下怕更要冷些吧?”
“不,不。”他接着咳嗽起来,要吐出的话,塞在喉管里了。
我说:“为什么?你看见一下霜,乡下的房屋和田野,便在早上白了起来,街上却一点也看不见。”
他捶了几下胸口之后,兴奋地接着说道:“是的,是的……乡下冷,你往人家门前的稻草堆上一钻就暖了哪……这街上,哼,鬼地方!……还有那些山里呵,比乡下更冷哩,咳,那才好哪!火烧一大堆,大大小小一家人,闹热呀!……”
接着他便说到壮年之日,在南方那些山中冬夜走路的事情。一个人的漂泊生活,我是喜欢打听的,同时车又没有驰来.便怂思他说了下去。他说晚上在那些山里,只要你是一个正派的人,就可以朝灯火人家一直走去,迎着犬声,敞开树阴下的柴门,大胆地闯进。对着火堆周围的人们,不管他男的女的,用
两手向他们两肩头一分,就把你带着风寒露湿的身子,轻轻地放了进去。烧山芋和热茶的香味,便一下子扑人你的鼻子。抬头看,四周闪着微笑的眼睛,欢迎着,毫没有怪你唐突的神情。你刚开口说由哪儿来的时候,一杯很热的浓茶,就递在你的下巴边上。老太婆盼咐她的孙女,快把火拨大些,多添点子柴,说是客人要烘吸他的身子;你暖和了,还不觉得疲倦的话,你可以摸摸小孩子的下巴,拧拧他们的脸蛋,做一点奇怪的样子,给他们嬉笑。年轻的妈妈,一高兴了,便会怂恿他的孩子把拿着要吃的烧山芋,分开一半,放在你这位客人的手上。如果你要在他们家过夜,他们的招待,就更来得殷勤些。倘若歇一会,暖暖身子,还要朝前赶路,一出柴门,还可听见一片欢送的声音:“转来时,请来玩呀!”老头子讲着讲着,给冷风一吹,便又咳嗽起来,我听得冷都忘记了,突然老头子忘形地拉着我问道:
“先生,这到底是什么原因哪?……这里的人家,火堆一定烧得多的,看窗子多么亮哪……他们为什么不准一个异乡人进去烤烤手哩?”
搭客汽车从远处轰轰地驰来了,我赶忙摆他的手,高声说道:
“因为他们是文明的人,不像那些山里的……”
再跳进通明的汽车里,蓦地离开他了。但远的南国山中,小小的灯火人家里面,那些丰美的醉人的温暖,却留在我的冬夜的胸中了。
