洋葱没有心77
第一单元 二十年之后 欧·亨利 将近夜里十点，巡逻警察来到这条街上，样子威严，不时地看看街道两边的店铺，警惕的目光落在店铺的大门和橱窗上。身材魁梧的他，俨然一副和平卫士的模样。 在一个街区走到一半时，他突然放慢了步伐。只见一个光线黯淡的五金店门口，站着一个人，嘴里叼着没有点燃的雪茄。他走了过去，那人赶紧开腔： “没事儿，警官，”他说道。“我只是在等个朋友。这可是二十年前的约定。听起来有点好笑吧？我跟你说，二十年前这里曾经是个饭店。” “五年前才拆的。”警察说道。 门口那人划了根火柴，点燃了雪茄。火光中可见一张苍白的脸，方下巴，目光敏锐，右边眉毛附近有一道白色的细小伤疤。 “二十年前的今晚，”那人说，“我和我最好的朋友吉米· 韦尔斯就在这里吃的饭。他可是个再好不过的家伙了。我俩在纽约这儿一起长大，好得像兄弟俩，那年我十八，他二 十。第二天早上我就要动身去西部发财。唉，要想让吉米离开纽约可是比登天还难哪！在他眼里人世间就只有纽约这么一个地方。不过我俩那天晚上约定，二十年后的今日此刻，无论各自的境况如何，无论各自远在何方，都要在这里相 聚。我们当时认为，二十年后，不管各自做什么，有什么样的命运，发多大的财，一切都该成了定局。” “听起来还真有意思，”警察说道。“那你离开后就再没有你朋友吉米的消息了？” “不，我们通过一阵子信，”那人答道，“可一两年后就断了音信。要知道，西部幅员辽阔，荒蛮原始，我又一直四处奔波，东跑西颠。不过，我确信，吉米只要活着，他会来见我的。他是这世界上最信得过的人。他绝对不会忘记。我千里迢迢来到这儿就是为了今晚站在这门口，只要我那老伙计露面，我也就不虚此行了。他是不会食言的。” 那守候的人掏出一只精致的怀表，表盖上缀满了小粒钻石。 “九点五十七分，”他说道，“我们是十点整在饭店门口的这个地方挥手告别的。” “在西部混得不错吧？”警察问道。 “那还用说！吉米干得有我一半好就不错了。” 警察转了转警棍，迈出了一两步。 “我走了，但愿你的朋友会按时赴约。” “我至少会等他半个小时，”那人说，“吉米要是还活着，他会在我走之前来的。再见，警官。” “晚安，先生，”警察说完，又继续巡逻，边走边检查店门。 这时，天下起了蒙蒙细雨，冷冰冰的，起风了。为了履行和少时好友的约定，那个不远千里来到这里的人还站在五金店的门口，抽着雪茄。 约二十分钟后，一个身着大衣、衣领立起的高个子男人从街对面匆匆走了过来，径直走向那守候者。 “鲍勃，是你吗？”他狐疑地问道。 “你是吉米·韦尔斯？”门口那人高声叫道。 “天哪！”新来者高兴地大叫了起来，一把握住了那人的双手。“是鲍勃，真的是鲍勃！我就知道，只要你还活着，我就会在这里找到你。哎呀呀，二十年啊，时间可真不短！老兄，西部待你怎样？” “西部给了我想要的一切。你变了很多啊，吉米！没想到你长高了二三英寸呢。” “哦，二十岁后我又长了点个子。” “在纽约混得不错吧，吉米？” “马马虎虎。在市政部门做事。走吧，鲍勃，咱们到我熟悉的一个地方去，好好地叙叙旧吧。” 两人手挽着手，沿街前行，西部来的这位开始讲他的发迹史，另一位饶有兴致地听着。 拐角处有一家药店，灯光明亮。来到通明的光线里，两人同时转身盯住对方的脸。 西部来的人突然停下来，抽出手臂。 “你不是吉米·韦尔斯！”他突然喊道，“二十年时间是很长，但也不至于把鹰钩鼻变成了塌鼻梁。” “可是有时二十年会把一个好人变成恶棍，”高个子说 道。“十分钟前你就已经被捕了。芝加哥方面认为你可能到我们这里来了，他们要和你谈谈。还是老老实实地跟我们走吧，放聪明点！不过，我们去警所之前，你先看看这张字 条，是一个人托我交给你的。你就在橱窗边上看吧。” 西部来的人展开小字条。开始读的时候手握得很稳，可读完时，手微微地抖动了起来。字条很短： “鲍勃：我准时赴约了。当你划亮火柴点燃雪茄时，我发现你正是受到芝加哥警方通缉的人。可我自己无论如何动不了手，所以就走开，找了个便衣行使职责。吉米。

Part I Pre-Reading Task
Script for the recording:
Have you ever heard about the famous American folk musician Bob Dylan? Listen, he's about to sing you a song called The Times They Are A-changin':
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Bob Dylan
Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you nave grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Appendix I - 105
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin' .
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don’ t speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it s namin’ .
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin' .
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin .
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin' .
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don t criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
I
- 106 - Appendix I
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-ckangin' .
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later he fast
As the present now
Will later he past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later he last
For the times they are a-changin' .
The song you have just heard was also written by Bob Dylan when a young man in his early twenties. Like many a young man throughout the ages he felt misunderstood by his parents' genera?tion, a generation he was quite happy to blame for all the ills of the world. He saw a gap between young and old, a gap made wider by different attitudes to change, the young welcoming it, the old resisting it. But change is coming whether we like it or not, coming like a flood that no one can escape. So you had better:
... admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll he drenched to the hone.
For those whose job it is to comment on the news and to predict what will happen next, we live in interesting times.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again
Appendix I - 107 -
But they should not be too quick in predicting what is going to happen. The wheel of fortune is still spinning and those at the bottom of society may find themselves later rising up. And so:
... don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin Ana there's no telling who That it' s naming For the loser now Will he later to win
Many of Dylan's early songs were, like this one, protest songs, songs aimed against injustice. And so he warns politicians not to stand in the way of those who are fighting for justice, a fight that will
... soon shake your windows And rattle your walls.
He sees his parent's generation as too ready to criticize their children and unable to understand their hopes and dreams:
Come mothers and lathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you don't understand
Dylan sees the older generation's way of doing things as outdated. If they are unwilling to change their ways then they should step aside and let a new generation take over. As he says to them:
Your old road is
Rapidly a gin
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

Model paper
Mother: Nancy, you've been home from school for three days now. Why don't you clean up your
room?
Nancy: We don't have to clean up our rooms at school.
Mother: That's all very well, Nancy. But while you're at home, your Dad and I would like you to
keep your room clean.
Nancy: What difference does it make? It's my room.
Mother: That's as may be, but you might give a thought to your father. He's frightened to death of
the plague and now says if it is going to start anywhere in the country, it's going to start in
your room.
Nancy: Mother, you people aren't interested in anything that's relevant. Do you realize how the
major corporations are polluting our environment?
Mother: Your father and I are very worried about it. But right now we're more concerned with the
pollution in your room.
Nancy: For heaven's sake, Mother, I'm grown up now. Why do you have to treat me like a child? Mother: We're not treating you like a child. But it's very hard for us to think of you as an adult when
you go round throwing all your clothes on the floor.
