词汇提示1.manifestation 表现2.arid 乏味的3.chronicle 编年史原文Margaret Thatcher: 'Against European Unity' (2)All these things alone are proof of our commitment to Europe's future.The European Community is one manifestation of that European identity.But it is not the only one.We must never forget that east of the Iron Curtain peoples who once enjoyed a full share of, European culture, freedom and identity have been cut off from their roots.We shall always look on Warsaw, Prague and Budapest as great European cities.Nor should we forget that European values have helped to make the United States of America into the valiant defender of freedom which she has become.This is no arid chronicle of obscure facts from the dust-filled libraries of history.It is the record of nearly two thousand years of 'British involvement in Europe,cooperation with Europe and contribution to Europe, a contribution which today is as valid and as strong as ever.Yes, we have looked also to wider horizons -as have others -and thank goodness for that, because Europe never would have prospered and never will prosper as an arrow-minded, inward-looking club.The European Community belongs to all its members.It must reflect the traditions and aspirations of all its members.And let me be quite clear.Britain does not dream of some cosy, isolated existence on the fringes of the European Community.Our destiny is in Europe, as part of the Community.That is not to say that our future lies only in Europe.But nor does that of France or Spain, or indeed any other member.The Community is not an end in itself.Nor is it an institutional device to be constantly modified according to the dictates of some abstract intellectual concept.Nor must it be ossified by endless regulation.The European Community is the practical means by which Europe can ensure the future prosperity and security of its people in a world in which there are many other powerful nations and groups of nations ...To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the center of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging and would jeopardize the objectives we seek to achieve.Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity.It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.翻译玛格丽特·撒切尔:“反对欧洲统一”(2)所有这些都证明了我们对欧洲未来的承诺。欧洲共同体是这种欧洲特性的一种表现。但它不是唯一的。我们绝不能忘记，在铁幕以东，曾经充分享有欧洲文化、自由和身份的人民已被切断了与他们的根源的联系。我们将永远把华沙、布拉格和布达佩斯视为伟大的欧洲城市。我们也不应忘记，欧洲的价值观曾帮助美利坚合众国成为自由的勇敢捍卫者。这本书并不是对尘封的历史图书馆里的晦涩事实的枯燥编年史。它记录了近两千年来英国对欧洲的参与、与欧洲的合作以及对欧洲的贡献，这种贡献在今天依然有效，一如既往地强大。是的，我们和其他国家一样，也看到了更广阔的视野，谢天谢地，因为作为一个目光短浅、内向的俱乐部，欧洲永远不会繁荣，也永远不会繁荣。欧洲共同体属于其所有成员。它必须反映其所有成员的传统和愿望。让我把话说清楚。英国并不梦想成为欧共体边缘的舒适、孤立的存在。作为共同体的一部分，我们的命运在欧洲。这并不是说我们的未来只在于欧洲。但法国、西班牙或其他任何成员国也没有。共同体本身并不是目的。它也不是一种根据某些抽象知识概念的指令不断修改的制度手段。它也不能因无休止的监管而僵化。欧洲共同体是欧洲在一个有许多其他强国和国家集团的世界上确保其人民未来繁荣和安全的实际手段……试图压制国家地位并将权力集中在一家欧洲企业集团的中心，将具有极大的破坏性，并将危及我们寻求实现的目标。欧洲将变得更加强大，正是因为法国还是法国，西班牙还是西班牙，英国还是英国，每个国家都有自己的习俗、传统和身份。试图让他们融入某种欧洲人的个性是愚蠢的。

词汇提示1.bastions 堡垒2.sanctuary 避难所3.tyranny 暴政原文Margaret Thatcher: 'Against European Unity' (1)Nor is the European idea the property of any group or institution.We British are as much heirs to the legacy of European culture as any other nation.Our links to the rest of Europe, the continent of Europe, have been the dominant factor in our history.For 300 years we were part of the Roman Empire and our maps still trace the straight lines of the roads the Romans built.Our ancestors - Celts, Saxons and Danes - came from the continent.Our nation was - in that favorite Community word - 'restructured' under Norman and Angevin rule in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.This year we celebrate the three-hundredth anniversary of the Glorious Revolution in which the British crown passed to Prince William of Orange and Queen Mary.Visit the great churches and cathedrals of Britain, read our literature and listen to our language: all bear witness to the cultural riches which we have drawn from Europe - and other Europeans from us.We in Britain are rightly proud of the way in which, since Magna Carta in 1215, we have pioneered and developed representative institutions to stand as bastions of freedom.And proud too of the way in which for centuries Britain was a home for people from the rest of Europe who sought sanctuary from tyranny.But we know that without the European legacy of political ideas we could not have achieved as much as we did.From classical and medieval thought we have borrowed that concept of the rule of law which marks out a civilized society from barbarism.And on that idea of Christendom -for long synonymous with Europe - with its recognition of the unique and spiritual nature of the individual, we still base our belief in personal liberty and other human rights.Too often the history of Europe is described as a series of interminable wars and quarrels.Yet from our perspective today surely what strikes us most is our common experience.For instance, the story of how Europeans explored and colonized and - yes, without apology - civilized much of the world is an extraordinary tale of talent, skill and courage.We British have in a special way contributed to Europe.Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power.We have fought and we have died for her freedom.Only miles from here in Belgium lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice.It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last war that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation.翻译玛格丽特·撒切尔:“反对欧洲统一”(1)欧洲理念也不是任何团体或机构的财产。我们英国人和其他国家一样，都是欧洲文化遗产的继承者。我们与欧洲其他国家、欧洲大陆的联系，一直是我们历史上的主导因素。300年来，我们一直是罗马帝国的一部分，我们的地图上仍然可以看到罗马人修建的直线道路。我们的祖先——凯尔特人、撒克逊人和丹麦人——来自欧洲大陆。我们的国家——用那个最受欢迎的共同体词汇来说——在11世纪和12世纪诺曼和安吉文的统治下“重建”了。今年，我们庆祝光荣革命300周年，在这场革命中，英国王位传给了奥兰治的威廉王子和玛丽女王。参观英国的伟大教堂和大教堂，阅读我们的文学作品，聆听我们的语言:所有这些都见证了我们从欧洲汲取的文化财富，以及其他欧洲人从我们这里汲取的文化财富。自1215年签订《大宪章》以来，我们英国人开创并发展了代表自由的机构，我们理应为此感到自豪。几个世纪以来，英国一直是欧洲其他地区寻求暴政庇护的人们的家园，我为此感到自豪。但我们知道，如果没有欧洲政治理念的遗产，我们不可能取得今天的成就。我们从古典和中世纪的思想中借用了区分文明社会和野蛮社会的法治概念。长期以来，基督教世界一直是欧洲的代名词，它承认个人的独特性和精神本质，基于这种理念，我们仍然相信个人自由和其他人权。欧洲的历史常常被描述为一系列无休止的战争和争吵。然而，从我们今天的角度来看，最让我们震惊的肯定是我们的共同经历。例如，关于欧洲人如何探索和殖民，以及——是的，毫无疑问——使世界大部分地区变得文明的故事，就是一个才华、技巧和勇气的非凡故事。我们英国人以一种特殊的方式为欧洲做出了贡献。几个世纪以来，我们一直在为防止欧洲落入单一大国的统治而斗争。我们为她的自由而战，为她的自由而死。在离这里几英里远的比利时，埋葬着12万死于一战的英国士兵的尸体。如果不是因为这种战斗和牺牲的意愿，欧洲早就团结起来了——但不是在自由，不是在正义。正是英国在上一场战争中对抵抗运动的支持，才使自由的火焰在许多国家熊熊燃烧，直到解放的那一天。

词汇提示1.lurking 潜藏2.plague 困扰3.toll 伤亡人数原文Diana,Princess Of Wales: 'A Modern Tragedy And Its Consequences' (3)There are said to be around 110 million mines lurking somewhere in the world - and over a third of them are to be found in Africa!Angola is probably more heavily mined than anywhere else, because the war went on for such a long time, and it invaded so much of the country.So that country is going to be infested with mines, and will suffer many more victims.Even if the world decided tomorrow to ban these weapons, this terrible legacy of mines already in the earth would continue to plague the poor nations of the Globe."The evil that men do, lives after them."And so, it seems to me, there rests a certain obligation upon the rest of us.One of my objectives in visiting Angola was to forward the cause of those, like the Red Cross, striving in the name of humanity to secure an international ban on these weapons.Since them, we are glad to see, some real progress has been made.There are signs of a change of heart- at least in some parts of the world.For that we should be cautiously grateful.If an international ban on mines can be secured it means, looking far ahead, that the world may be a safer place for this generation's grandchildren.But for this generation in much of the developing world, there will be no relief,no relaxation.The toll of deaths and injuries caused by mines already there, will continue.This tracing and lifting of mines, as I saw in Angola, is a desperately slow business.So in my mind a central question remains.Should we not do more to quicken the de-miners' work, to help the injured back to some sort of life, to further our own contribution to aid and development?The country is enriched by the work done by its overseas agencies and non -governmental organizations who work to help people in Africa and Asia to improve the quality of their lives.Yet mines cast a constant shadow over so much of this work.Resettlement of refugees is made more hazardous.Good land is put out of bounds.Recovery from war is delayed.Aid workers themselves are put at risk.I would like to see more done for those living in this "no man's land" which lies between the wrongs of yesterday and the urgent needs of today.I think we owe it.I also think it would be of benefit to us, as well as to them.The more expeditiously we can end this plague on earth caused by the landmine, the more readily can we set about the constructive tasks to which so many give their hand in the cause of humanity.翻译威尔士王妃戴安娜:“一场现代悲剧及其后果”(3)据说大约有1.1亿枚地雷潜伏在世界的某个地方，其中超过三分之一在非洲!安哥拉的地雷可能比其他任何地方都要多，因为战争持续了很长时间，它入侵了这个国家的大部分地区。因此，那个国家将被地雷所侵扰，并将遭受更多的受害者。即使世界明天决定禁止这些武器，地球上已经存在的地雷的可怕遗产将继续折磨着地球上的贫穷国家。“人所做的恶，死后仍会存在。”因此，在我看来，我们其余的人都负有某种义务。我访问安哥拉的目标之一是推动像红十字会那样以人类的名义努力争取在国际上禁止这些武器的人的事业。我们高兴地看到，自那时以来，已经取得了一些真正的进展。至少在世界上的一些地区，有迹象表明人们的态度发生了改变。为此，我们应该谨慎地心存感激。如果能够确保国际禁止地雷，这意味着，展望未来，对于我们这一代的子孙来说，世界可能是一个更安全的地方。但对于大多数发展中国家的这一代人来说，他们不会得到缓解，也不会放松。已经存在的地雷造成的伤亡人数将继续增加。正如我在安哥拉看到的那样，追踪和清除地雷是一项极其缓慢的工作。所以在我的脑海里，一个核心问题依然存在。我们难道不应该做更多的工作来加快扫雷工作，帮助受伤者恢复某种生活，进一步促进我们自己对援助和发展的贡献吗?海外机构和非政府组织致力于帮助非洲和亚洲人民提高生活质量，使国家更加富裕。然而，我的地雷一直给这项工作投下阴影。难民的重新安置变得更加危险。好地是禁区。从战争中恢复被推迟了。救援人员自己也处于危险之中。我希望为那些生活在“无人区”的人们做更多的事情，这片无人区介于昨天的错误和今天的迫切需要之间。我想这是我们欠的。我也认为这对我们和他们都有好处。我们越能迅速地结束地雷在地球上造成的这场灾难，我们就越能容易地着手于许多人在人类事业中伸出援手的建设性任务。

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.Highness 殿下原文Chapter X: Blackbeard's PeaceBlackbeard dropped the knife to the ground."Look!The knife. It moved by itself.""It's the curse of the treasure. It's a message from Blackbeard."No one could see the ghost except for Queen Alliana.She had her great-grandmother's eyes, and those eyes would always be able to see him.She walked towards him, away from the other men, who were preparing to take the pirates to the Queen Anne as prisoners."When you return to this island, you always bring unhappiness to a woman's heart.First, it was my great-grandmother's, and now it is mine. Have you thought of this in all those years while watching that treasure?""How could I forget? I can never die and be peaceful. I always remember what I didby looking at that treasure.""But you can do something good now. You can keep others from touching it and making the same mistake you did.""How?I can't keep people from coming onto my ship and taking my treasure.""You could if you wanted. If there was never any treasure, you would have lived happily with Queen Hanzani. Now, you still have the treasure and you are still unhappy.""But that is what I was told to do, watch the treasure to pay for my mistake.""Have you ever thought of what it is that will end this punishment and let you die in peace?"Blackbeard had no answer.He was quiet.Captain Scott came to say goodbye to Queen Alliana."Your Highness, we are ready to leave your island. I'm sorry for the trouble we brought with us, but I want to thank you for giving us what we need to sail again.""Remember Captain, you must find the ship you got the treasure from and put it back. It's the only way to keep peace on these islands.""We will try.""I think you will succeed. And remember the story I told you about that treasure.Taking what is not yours can never bring you or the ones you love any happiness."Captain Scott and the others rowed back to the Queen Anne, and soon it was sailing again through the Bermuda Triangle.Blackbeard was standing at the ship's side.He was looking across the wide, blue sea, thinking of everything Queen Allianas aidto him before he left Rum Island.He was always saying the same thing to himself: "If there was never any treasure, I would be happy now."Suddenly,Blackbeard's old empty ship appeared sailing along the shining blue sea.The man in the crow's nest shouted to the Captain, and he put his telescope to his eye."Stubbs,sail straight for that ship. We're going back on board."Blackbeard was walking nervously back and forth as the men put the treasure chest into a small row boat.He sat on top of it when they were ready to leave and row towards the empty ship.Captain Scott told the men to leave the chest where they found it.Before the sailors left, Captain Scott looked around the old pirate ship."And this is what you get for wanting all the riches of the world."Blackbeard was standing next to him listening.It was the last thing that was said on that ship.The Queen Anne began to sail away when one of the sailors shouted "Look!"Everyone turned to see Blackbeard's chest rising in the air over the sea.They thought it was moving by itself, but it was Blackbeard moving it.He threw the chest into the sea, ending the curse he had to live with.The sailors of the Queen Anne saw the shining gold on top of the water for one last moment,then it sank into the sea below.When the chest had disappeared into the water, Blackbeard's ship began to break apart and sank into the sea.The sailors' eyes all grew wide as they saw the ghost of a pirate in a long blue coat, with a black beard and a red scarf around his head, fly up into the clouds of the sky."Captain,what in the world was that?" "It was the ghost of Blackbeard.It seems that he has finally found his peace."The end of " Blackbeard's Treasure"by Jenny Dolly

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.threatened 恐吓 2.torches 火炬原文Chapter IX: The Circle of fireThe clouds came again to cover the light of the moon.The sea was dark.None of the British sailors heard the pirates rowing their boats towards the Queen Anne.Captain Pike and his men climbed the ship's side and surprised the sailors on deck. They attacked the sailors with knives and Captain Pike went below deck.He kicked open the door to the treasure, but he saw that it was gone."Gone?!Where is it?"He ran back upstairs and threatened one of the sailors with a knife. "Where's that treasure you had down there? Talk or I'll kill you right here!""The Captain took it to the island, to trade with the natives. We needed something to fix our sails." The pirates left the Queen Anne and rowed towards Rum island.Captain Scott and his men were preparing to leave the Island. They had what they needed to fix the sails, and they were saying goodbye to Queen Alliana and her people.Torches were lit all around the village, and everyone was having one last cup of rum."Queen Alliana! I hope you and your people will live long lives!"Everyone raised their cup, but before they could drink, one of the natives came running through the village. "Pirate ship! Pirate ship!"The natives all dropped their cups and began running to their huts. The Queen looked at Captain Scott. "You see, the treasure is cursed. Wherever it goes, bad luck follows.""We have enough men here to fight these pirates. We won't let them destroy your island.We have a lot of experience fighting such men, but you can help by letting us use that treasure. Don't worry, you'll get it all back in the end."The natives kept their rum in wooden barrels near a small lake, next to the village.They took all the tops off the barrels to let the smell lead the pirates to where they were.When the pirates arrived, they saw Blackbeard's treasure chest in the middle of a large circle of sugar plant leaves.Queen Alliana was standing outside the circle, holding a torch.Captain Pike saw the chest first."There it is! Take it!""I wouldn't if I were you. You can't come here and take whatever you want.""Who are you? I'll do what I want!"Captain Pike and some of his men walked over the sugar leaves towards the treasure.The leaves had rum on them, and Queen Alliana set them on fire with her torch.The pirates and the treasure were in the middle of a circle of fire, unable to move."You see, Captain, your eye for treasure has kept you from seeing what you should see.It's always the same with such men."Captain Scott, his men and the natives came out from behind the trees and houses to fight the pirates.They put out the fire, and Captain Pike with his six pirates standing next to the treasure took out his sword."I'll fight to the death for this treasure. No one'll have it if I can't."He and Captain Scott fought while the others watched."You won't kill me Captain."Theirs words were locked together and they were looking at each other fiercely.Captain Pike reached for a knife in his belt."Watch out Captain! He's got a knife."Captain Scott saw Pike's eye grow wider, then he fell back.A knife with blood on it was in the air.No one could see that Blackbeard's ghost held it.

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly原文Chapter VIII: The Face in the MoonWhen Captain Pike's men put the chest with Blackbeard's ghost on it down on the pirateship's deck, Blackbeard stood up and saw that it was not his treasure.He opened the top, picked up the gold coins in both his hands, and threw them to the ground.The pirates could not see Blackbeard; they only saw the chest open itself and the gold coins flying in the air and falling to the ground by themselves."The gold, Captain. It was flying in the air.""Who opened that chest?""The treasure! Where is the treasure?"Blackbeard ran to the ship's side to see if the Queen Anne was still nearby.It was gone.He let out a loud scream, but no one heard him.His voice disappeared into the grey clouds that were beginning to cover the sky.It began to rain heavily that night.Santiago and Captain Pike were sitting in the warm yellow light of the Captain's cabin below deck."How long will it take to fix the ship?""One or two days. I don't know.""We'll lose that English ship, and I want that treasure.""But Captain, we've got the gold. Why do you want more?""You don't understand. That treasure is more valuable than ten chests of gold. It has some magic in it. There is a story behind it, and I think the man who has it is going to feel he has everything."Blackbeard was alone at the front of the ship, looking out at the dark sea.Everything around him was wet, the men had gone below deck for the night.Slowly,the rain stopped and the clouds moved away.A full, shining silver moon appeared, lighting the sea in front of him.Blackbeard looked into its round face for along time.It looked like a round ball turning and turning.Then he thought it was more like a circle cut from a piece of paper.Suddenly,a face appeared in it. It was the face of Queen Hanzani. She closed, then opened her big, brown eyes slowly. She was smiling at Blackbeard.She looked to her left and Blackbeard did the same. He saw a light, in the distance.The light was Rum island, but no one knew it.The Queen's face disappeared, and Blackbeard ran to the bell near the ship's wheel.The man at the wheel was almost asleep when Blackbeard rang the bell and frightened him.Captain Pike, Santiago and the other men ran upstairs. "What is it, what do you see?"The man at the wheel was still trying to wake up."I think it's a light." Captain Pike looked through his telescope. He saw the beach of the island in the moonlight.Then he saw a light coming from the Queen Anne. "Santiago, tell the men to drop the anchor. We've found the treasure and this time we're not going to lose it."
