1、I had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung 。。。。。。。the silent tarn—a pestilent and mystic vapor, dull, sluggish, faintly discernible, and leaden-hued. (Edgar Allan Poe: “The Fall of the House of Usher”)
译文： 我如此沉湎于自己的想象，以至于我实实在在地认为那宅院及其周围悬浮着一种它们所特有的空气。那种空气并非生发于天地自然，而是生发于那些枯树残枝、灰墙暗壁，生发于那一汪死气沉沉的湖水。那是一种神秘而致命的雾霭，阴晦，凝滞，朦胧，沉浊如铅。 2、She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a 。。。。。。。。l of the night passing swiftly on toward further darkness but moving also toward a new sun. 译文：（ 她的）容貌那么清秀，就像半夜里醒来时在黑暗中隐约可见的小小的钟面，报告时刻的钟面。它皎洁而安静，深知时间在飞驰，深信黑暗虽然越来越深沉，却也越来越接近新生的太阳。

泽文：越来越多的人们选择完全足不出户的生活，离开楼群也只是为了开汽车或者乘飞机， 透过密封的窗户去看一看外面的大千世界，假设他们去看的话，也不过如此。但是， 在更多的时候，他们凝视着屏幕，倾听人们的闲种，与“土地、水和正在生长的种 子的现实世界”隔绝开来。这一切我们都不必大惊小怪。（范守义译）

There was nothing to do in Loma in the evening except to go to the saloon,……
译文：在洛曼小镇，晚饭后除了去银上唯一的那家酒馆便无事可做?酒馆是一座老式的木 制建筑，有一扇转门，门前人行道上方有一块木制雨篷。无论是政府的禁酒令还是 后来废除禁酒令的法令都未曾改变过它生意的兴隆、頋客的数量，也未曾改变过它 威士忌的质量。每天晚饭后，镇上十五岁以上的男子至少要光顾布法罗酒馆一次， 喝杯酒，聊聊天，然后回家。
酒馆里常有人玩扑克牌，不过其输赢聊胜于无。我那位房东太太的丈夫蒂英和； 罗兹就经常在那里玩单人纸牌游戏。他玩牌老爱作弊，因为他只在赢牌时才买上一杯酒喝。我曾见过他一口气连赢五盘\。赢牌后他便把纸牌整整齐齐地全好，然后直起身，神气十足地走向吧台。酒馆老板兼伙计胖子卡尔不等他走近吧台便会端起已斟了半杯酒的酒杯问：“来杯什么酒？ ”威士忌。”蒂莫西总是庄重地回答。
I am a journalist, not a historian, and while this book is an effort to describe a moment in the, past, it is less a work of history than of personal reminiscence and reflection。。。。。。。 我是新闻工作者，不是历史学家，所以本书描写的虽然是过往岁月中的一刻，却 称不上是一部史学著作，而仅是个人的追思。书中所写的主要是战争期间我本人在华 盛顿的观察和经历，辅以采访等材料。我试图刻画一个城市和一个政府的痛苦与挣扎, 这个城市和政府突然被要求参加战争，还要在战争中领导别的国家，参与的又是有史 以来最伟大的战争，实在是有些措手不及，因此表现得很糟糕，有时甚至很可笑。
这几乎肯定是以第一手资料写成的、有关那个时期的最后一场报道。二战中位高 权重的人物一个接一个很快去世，实在令人不安。有几位原本巳经答应回忆并讲述一 下他们在二战中的经历，可我还没来得及拜访，他们就离开了人世。
我在本书中没有对欧洲及太平洋战区中的宏大战略做详尽的描述。相反，我主要 报道了那些年我在华盛顿的所见所闻。这些往事已经在人们的记亿中变得越来越模糊, 对于那场战争，这个国家中有三分之二的人都太年轻，对它并无记忆。结果，本书描 写的就是一个以战争为背景的“我们的小镇”，讲的是一个城市在根本没有听到一声 枪响的情况下，就卷入了一场全球性冲突，因而变得很惊愕，常常也很困惑。这是一 个不同寻常的城市，设立时主要是想将它建成政府的中心，因此这个城市便和当时的 政府一样，行动十分缓慢，所做相当有限。 第四单元
