第二场 幸福之园
(一群幸福跑进大厅,唱着:“他们来了!他们看见我们了!”并围着孩子们欢快地跳起舞来。然后,一个头领模样的人走向狄蒂尔,对他伸出了手。)
THE HAPPINESS:How do you do, Tyltyl?
TYLTYL:Who are you?
THE HAPPINESS:Don't you recognise me?
TYLTYL:(a little embarrassed) Why,no...I don't remember seeing any of you.
(All the other HAPPINESSES burst out laughing⑦.)Why,we are the only things you do know!We are always around you!We eat,drink,wake up,breathe and live with you!
下文中也多次出现这个词。在这里why的意思并非“为什么”,而是表示惊讶或突然意识到某事,意思是“哎呀,嘿”。
⑦burst out laughing(=burst into laughter)突然大笑起来
burst out (doing sth.)突然开始(做某事)
幸福:你好,狄蒂尔!
狄蒂尔:你是……?
幸福:你认不出我了吗?
狄蒂尔:(有点尴尬)哎呀,是认不出……可我不记得见过你们中的任何一位啊。
(其他幸福哄然大笑。)哟,我们正是你唯一了解的东西啊!我们一直在你周围!我们同你一起吃喝,一起醒来,一起呼吸,一起生活呢!
TYLTYL:Oh...But I should like to know what your names are...
THE HAPPINESS:I am the chief of the Happinesses of your home; and all these are the other Happinesses that live there.
TYLTYL:Then there are Happinesses in my home?(All the HAPPINESSES burst out laughing.)
THE HAPPINESS:You heard him!Are there Happinesses in his home!Why,it is crammed with⑧ Happinesses!Let me introduce myself first: the Happiness of Being Well.I am not the prettiest,but I am the most important.This is the Happiness of Pure⑨ Air,who is almost transparent⑩.Here is the Happiness of Loving One's Parents.Here are the Happiness of the Blue Sky,who,of course,is dressed in blue,and the Happiness of the Forest: you will see him every time you go to the window...
作者连用三个感叹句来表达一种强烈的情感,寓意深刻。画线部分中出现了疑问句式的感叹句,这在文学作品,尤其是戏剧中比较常见。
名词短语every time作连词引导时间状语从句。
⑧be crammed with...挤满了……,塞满了……
cram/kræm/vt.& vi.把……塞进,挤满
⑨pure/pjʊə/adj.纯的,洁净的,纯净的;干净的;完全的

幸福:你们听他在说些什么!他家里是不是有很多幸福!嘿,幸福多得都要挤不下了!先介绍一下我自己:我是健康幸福,虽不是最漂亮的,却是最重要的。这个是纯净空气幸福,他几乎是透明的。这个是敬爱父母幸福。这个是蓝天幸福,他自然是身穿蓝衣。这个是森林幸福,你每次走到窗前都能看见他……
TYLTYL:Excuse me, but do you know where the Blue Bird is?
THE HAPPINESS:He doesn't know where the Blue Bird is!(All the HAPPINESSES OF THE HOME burst out laughing.)
TYLTYL:(vexed⑪)No,I do not know.There's nothing to laugh at.(Fresh⑫ bursts⑬ of laughter.)
THE HAPPINESS:He doesn't know: well,what do you expect?He is no more absurd⑭ than the majority of⑮ men...
本句中的no more...than...含有消极、否定的意思,意为“A与B都不……,不……也不……”等。
⑪vexed/vekst/adj.恼火的
⑫fresh adj.新的,不同的
fresh evidence新证据
⑬burst 熟词生义 n.[C]突发,迸发
⑭absurd/əb'sɜːd/adj.荒唐的,愚蠢的

狄蒂尔:不好意思,请问你知道青鸟在哪儿吗?
幸福:他不知道青鸟在哪儿!(所有家里的幸福哄然大笑。)
狄蒂尔:(恼火了)是,我就是不知道。有什么好笑的。(又爆出一阵笑声。)
幸福:他不知道,好吧,还能怎么样呢?他和大多数人一样都不可笑……

画线部分为than引导的比较状语从句的省略,补充完整为than he was when I went away。如:He is stronger than (he was) when I last saw him.

狄蒂尔妈妈:对,我也知道;得用狄蒂尔的鸟。喂,狄蒂尔。这下你总该把鸟送给那可怜的姑娘了吧?
狄蒂尔:我的鸟!咦,它变成了青色!可它是我的小斑鸠啊!颜色怎么变得比我离开的时候更深了!天啊,它就是我们一直在找的青鸟!我们走了那么远,没想到它一直就在这里!给,贝兰戈太太,快把它带给你的小姑娘吧。

THE NEIGHBOUR:Do you see the miracle㉑ ?She can run,she can dance,she can fly!(Pushing the LITTLE GIRL into TYLTYL'S arms.)Come along㉒ and thank Tyltyl.
(After TYLTYL kisses the LITTLE GIRL rather awkwardly㉓,the two children look at each other without speaking;then TYLTYL strokes㉔ the dove's head.)
TYLTYL:Is he blue enough?
THE LITTLE GIRL:Yes,I am so pleased with㉕ him.
TYLTYL:I have seen bluer ones.But those which are quite blue,you know,do what you will,you can't catch them.
THE LITTLE GIRL:That doesn't matter;he's lovely.
TYLTYL:Has he had anything to eat? I will show you...
(He moves to take the bird from the LITTLE GIRL'S hands.She resists㉖ instinctively㉗; and,in their hesitation㉘,the DOVE escapes and flies away.)
THE LITTLE GIRL:(with a cry of despair㉙)He is gone!
TYLTYL:Never mind.Don't cry.I will catch him again.(Stepping to the front of the stage and addressing㉚ the audience.)If any of you should find him,would you be so very kind as to give him back to us?We need him for our happiness,later on.

狄蒂尔:我还见过更青的鸟,但是你知道的,那些纯青的鸟,你怎么捉也捉不住。
小姑娘:没关系的;这只就很美了。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
I once complained to my friend Mike,“I often cycle for two miles from my house to the town center but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.” He replied,“You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought that all those people who pay money to go to a gym sit on stationary exercise bicycles while I can get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote,“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through the experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired,and success achieved.”
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity.From time to time we all face hardships,problems,accidents and difficulties.Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own.While we cannot choose adversity,we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,“Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,and you'll never use crutches or a stick,and then have a go at everything.Go to school,and join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never ever let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took up the challenge.They won.Nevertheless,there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

Life Lessons
Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. 1 Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
It takes consistent time and effort to be successful in any area.However,people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would.At this time,people refer only to people who have already achieved what you want to be,which most people fail to do.Look at some successful people and you'll notice one thing common in all of them.They took time to learn and mastered their skills like no one else. 2
Be brave to take the road less travelled.In our whole life,we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests,do the same things that everyone does,take the same career path that everyone takes,wear the same clothes that everyone wears,and hang out with the same people we work with. 3 But when you get bored of life,you will realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else's out there in the world.But the price you pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.
You don't have to live your life in a way society wants you to. 4 Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don't want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all,people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in old rituals (惯例) and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest,sooner or later you'll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
5 However,if you are smart enough to learn early and wish not to waste your precious time learning them the hard way,learn them now and apply it to your life as soon as possible.
A.You have to break the rules sometimes.
B.After all,life lessons are always learned the hard way.
C.There is no elevator to success;you have to take the stairs.
D.The reason why we follow others is that we are scared to fail.
E.It always takes tests and then fails us to learn something worthwhile.
F.The general rule goes that the harder you try,the greater results you get.
G.Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.
