1. “If you can remember anything about the 1960s, you weren't really there,” so the saying goes. (Para 1) 有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”

What can we infer about the life of people in the 1960s?

This saying makes a joking comment about these years: this was a time in the West when many young people took drugs (like cocaine, marijuana and LSD), so they were there and didn’t really remember much of what happened (because of the drugs, they were “in a haze of marijuana smoke”). If someone does remember they weren’t really there—they must have been somewhere else, without drugs.

2. In the 1960s, California’s colleges and universities had transformed the state into the seventh largest economy. (Para 2)

1) What can we infer about the status of the University of California?

It sees itself as the link between education and economy in California and has been recognized as a very significant factor for many years. 2) What does the Californian economy include?

Hollywood (entertainment), Los Angeles (tourism), the Central Valley (agriculture: California is the world’s fifth largest supplier of food and agricultural products), Silicon Valley (computers, high technology) and wine production.

3. The liberals replied that it was the ability to tolerate noisy, dissident minorities which made universities great. (Para 2) 自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。

Why is it was… which instead of it was… that used here?

英语常用的强调结构是 “It is (was) + 被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语) + who (that)...”。一般说来,被强调部分指人时,用 who;指事物时用 that,但that 也可以指人。在美国英语中指事物时常用 which来代替 that。

4. Some people drop out, but the most apathetic stay the course because it’s too much effort to leave. (Para 5) 有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 What does stay the course mean?

“Stay the course” is used in the context of a war or battle meaning to pursue a goal regardless of any obstacles or criticism. Its modern usage was popularized by American presidents George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. The phrase was first used by Bush in July 2003 while talking about his plan for Iraq, “We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed…” 5. “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,

But to be young was very heaven!” (Paras. 8-9)

在那黎明时分活着是至福之事,年轻更是如进天堂!”

1) The major English romantic poet, William Wordsworth (1770-1850) wrote these words about the early days (the dawn) of the French Revolution. He had lived in France and was impressed by the Revolution but on his return to England, he found that many people who had supported it changed their minds when they saw the massacres (killings) that happened later. These words try to catch the spirit of the enthusiasts.

2) 这是一个倒装句。原句应是 It was bliss to be alive in that dawn. It 指代 to be alive in that dawn. Bliss was / is it to do sth. 和 it was / is heaven to do sth. 都表示

4

“做······是一件非常幸福的事情。”

3) It was complete happiness to be alive in the Revolution, but to be young was even better. It was perfect, like in paradise.
