Unit 3 Times Change! / 时代在变！ 本单元共收录 3 篇（组）英文语篇。 1. A New Chapter / 新的篇章 The day I heard that the Rainbow Bookstore was closing after 50 years of business, I was heartbroken. The bookstore, which was a legendary fixture in the neighborhood, was a place where anyone could drop in and connect through their love of books. When I hurried to the store, I saw that the books were already being packed into boxes. I had a long chat with Casey, the store’s elderly owner. Sighing deeply, he told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets. More and more customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to think of some words of sympathy, but I had to admit that the Rainbow Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much longer. Childhood memories came back to me so clearly, as if the events had happened only yesterday. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop by the store after school. We’d look at the new books, or just chat with Old Casey. He knew every book in the store and would always pick the perfect one for us from a dusty shelf. We spent hours reading, seated on the store’s old but comfortable furniture. Casey encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books, by writing them on a large board in one corner of the store. When I left the bookstore, it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Casey, but both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that Old Casey had given to the community could soon disappear for good. A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood during my spring break and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick exterior hadn’t changed, but inside it was like a different world. In one area, a book reading was being delivered. Nearby, customers were poring over shelves selling stationery, posters and other best-seller-themed gifts. The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen, where customers’ comments on the month’s best-seller were being displayed. Clearly, the Rainbow Bookstore was in good, creative hands. I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Rainbow Bookstore. The campaign had been led by Jennifer Oakley, a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who had now taken over the bookstore from Casey. Under Jennifer’s leadership, the bookstore was being turned into a place for literature-loving members of the community to get together. It had a café selling organic food, and there were now more community events such as book readings, poetry recitals and even jazz concerts and movie nights, where people could gather to share an experience that couldn’t be downloaded. I joined Casey, who was looking up at the screen on which readers’ comments kept popping up. “Well, as you can see, corporate knowledge combined with creativity has brought my humble bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so pleased to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here.” 听说彩虹书店经营了50年后即将关门的那一天，我伤心极了。这家书店是社区里一处富有传奇色彩的固定场所，任何人都可以随时走进来，因为对书籍的热爱而与他人建立联系。 我匆忙赶到店里时，看见书已经在装箱。我和年迈的店主凯西聊了很久。他深深叹了口气，告诉我，独立书店的经营正变得越来越困难。大多数年轻人更喜欢在平板电脑上阅读电子书；越来越多的顾客被连锁书店和网络折扣吸引。我努力想说几句安慰的话，却不得不承认，彩虹书店确实难以继续经营太久。 童年的记忆清晰地涌上心头，仿佛那些事情就发生在昨天。放学后，我们一群孩子常常顺路来到店里，看看新书，或只是和老凯西聊天。他熟悉店里的每一本书，总能从落满灰尘的书架上为我们挑出最合适的一本。我们坐在店里老旧却舒适的家具上，一读就是几个小时。凯西鼓励我们在店铺角落的一块大板上写下对书籍的想法和评论，与大家分享。 离开书店时，外面渐渐寒冷而昏暗。我转身向凯西挥手告别，可他和书店都已隐没在浓雾中。这让我意识到，书店以及老凯西为社区带来的一切，或许很快就会永远消失。 几个月后，春假期间我回到这个社区，惊讶地发现彩虹书店仍在那里，而且依旧营业。它古老的砖墙外观没有变化，内部却仿佛变成了另一个世界。一个区域正在举行读书会；不远处，顾客们认真浏览摆放着文具、海报以及其他畅销书主题礼品的货架。角落里的大板已被一块大屏幕取代，屏幕上展示着顾客对本月畅销书的评论。显然，彩虹书店已经交到了富有创意、值得信赖的人手中。 我得知，社区决定共同发起一场拯救彩虹书店的活动。活动由詹妮弗·奥克利领导。她是一名在这个社区长大的销售员，如今已从凯西手中接管了书店。 在詹妮弗的带领下，书店正被改造成一个供社区中热爱文学的人相聚的地方。店内设有出售有机食品的咖啡馆，还增加了更多社区活动，如读书会、诗歌朗诵会，甚至爵士音乐会和电影之夜。在这些活动中，人们可以相聚共享一种无法从网上下载的真实体验。 我走到凯西身边，他正望着屏幕上不断弹出的读者评论。“嗯，正如你所看到的，商业知识与创造力的结合，把我这家不起眼的书店带进了21世纪！我非常高兴，自己一直希望它为社区提供的一切，如今仍然都在这里。” 2. Emojis: A New Language? / 表情符号：一种新语言？ While waiting outside the cafeteria, I received the following message from my friend: It took me a minute before I realised what it meant. The signs he used were to say that he’d be running late and would be there soon. Instead of replying with a simple “OK, don’t rush”, I searched for emojis on my phone that would express the same message: This was my attempt to follow the trend of communicating with emojis. Emojis are used everywhere, from text messages to emails, blogs and other social media networks. With the rapid development of social media, emojis are becoming an integral component of the language we use to express ourselves. The word “emoji” comes from Japanese, literally meaning “picture character”. Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings. They come in different categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals, and food and drink. When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3,000 emojis that expand upon the way in which we communicate. Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was, for the first time ever, a pictograph instead of a traditional word. In today’s world, emojis have become more and more popular. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. People like them because they add emotional meaning, and are quick and easy to use. In fact, this is similar to the gestures we use when we speak. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can “see” your facial expression while reading your words. Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they cannot find the appropriate words. For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation. The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature. A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare’s popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people, however, believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare’s plays. As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way in which we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word. After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call? Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures, and forget how to write properly. On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial “language”. But, for now, maybe it’s best that we just enjoy using them. 我在食堂外等候时，收到了朋友发来的下面这条消息。 我过了一分钟才明白它的意思。他使用的符号是在说自己会迟到，但很快就到。我没有简单回复“好的，别着急”，而是在手机里寻找能够表达同样意思的表情符号。 这是我尝试跟随用表情符号交流这一潮流的做法。表情符号无处不在，从短信到电子邮件、博客和其他社交媒体网络，都能看到它们。随着社交媒体迅速发展，表情符号正成为我们用于自我表达的语言中不可缺少的一部分。 “emoji”一词来自日语，字面意思是“图画文字”。表情符号是代表思想、情绪或感受的小型图形符号，分为不同类别，如人物和面孔、动植物、食品和饮料等。 表情符号1999年首次在日本推出时，只有176种简单设计。如今，表情符号已超过3,000个，拓展了我们的交流方式。由于极受欢迎，2015年《牛津词典》年度词汇有史以来第一次不是传统单词，而是一个图形符号。 在当今世界，表情符号越来越流行。与书面语言相比，它们似乎具有明显优势。人们喜欢表情符号，是因为它们能够增加情感含义，而且使用起来快捷、方便。事实上，这与我们说话时使用手势相似。在消息或帖子中添加一张笑脸或哭脸，读者便能在阅读文字时“看到”你的面部表情。当人们找不到恰当语言时，表情符号也能帮助他们表达感受。例如，朋友要搬到国家另一端，你可能只需发送一连串哭脸，表达对分别的难过。 表情符号的使用甚至已经延伸到古典文学。一套面向年轻读者的莎士比亚系列读物，把莎士比亚的著名戏剧改编为短信语言，并用表情符号替换部分文字。这些改编旨在让年轻读者更容易接触经典作品。然而，有些人认为，这些新版本夺走了莎士比亚戏剧的核心与灵魂。 正如我们看到的，表情符号似乎总会出现在各种地方。使用者说，它们使交流和自我表达更加便利；但这也让另一些人，尤其是教育工作者担忧：我们是否正在失去正确使用书面语、甚至口语进行交流的能力？毕竟，今天有多少人宁愿发送塞满表情符号的消息，也不愿打一个电话？也许有一天，人们会选择用图画交流，并忘记如何正确书写。到那时，表情符号就真正成为一种图画“语言”了。不过，就目前而言，也许我们只需享受使用它们的乐趣。 3. Writing about a Change: Where Does Superman Get Changed These Days? / 变化写作：如今超人在哪里换装？ I was watching a superhero film the other day and a thought occurred to me: where does Superman get changed these days? In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days, phone boxes are hard to find. The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone. And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box. Why? Because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call – that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these days. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box. So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change! 前几天，我在看一部超级英雄电影时，突然想到一个问题：如今超人在哪里换衣服呢？在漫画和早期电影中，克拉克·肯特会钻进电话亭，换上超人服装。可现在，电话亭已经很难找到了。最主要的原因很简单：我们不再需要它们。如今几乎人人随身携带手机。掏出手机、轻触按钮即可拨打电话，显然比在电话机上按下一长串数字方便得多。即使有人碰巧把手机忘在家里，也仍然用不上电话亭。为什么？因为他很可能记不住想拨打的号码——现在，这件事由手机替我们完成。即便我们能记住号码，又确实需要紧急拨打，向别人借一部手机也比四处寻找电话亭更方便。因此，电话亭正在成为过去。可怜的克拉克·肯特只好另找地方换装了！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
