第46章 应用文写作(11)

Few of us take the pains to study the origin of our cherished convictions; indeed, we have a natural repugnance to so doing. We like to continue to believe what we have been accustomed to accept as true, and the resentment aroused when doubt is cast upon any of our assumptions leads us to seek every manner of excuse for clinging to them. The result is that most of our socalled reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.

摘要

A third kind of thinking occurs when we are told that our beliefs and opinions are wrong. We may be heedless in their formation, but our selfesteem will not permit us to change. We may have to give up, but we are not convicted. We do not study the origin of our belief; we believe as we have been accustomed to believe, and we seek arguments for continuing to believe as we already do.

原文:

Xiao Liu is a sanitation worker in a restaurant, a much honored one. She has been awarded for her “excellent work and satisfactory service” by the National Tourism Administration four times since she took the job six years ago.

Her job seems simple. Every morning, she is required to clean two washrooms, two bathrooms, two locker rooms, the balcony and the corridor. But it is hard and demanding work, especially for girl who suffers from heart disease. “I usually have to come at 8:30--half an hour before the working time begins, and start to bustle in and out without a break, ” says Liu. At 11 o"clock--the opening time of the restaurant, everything is washed up. So is she. Then she stands in front of the washing room to greet every guest with a smile, help them and do the cleaning whenever it is necessary.

“It is unusual work for such a young woman,” says the manager of the restaurant. “It is not only the hard work but also the psychological pressure that she has to stand.”

“I felt very ashamed and humble when I stood in front of the washroom on my first working day,” recalls Liu. Then only 17 years old she blushed whenever a guest came. Her colleagues poked fun at her and her friends called her a fool.

“Because of my work, they think I am inferior and can only work in the washrooms. But I am not,” she says. And the young woman, who had been eager to do everything well since she was a child, vowed to prove it.

Four years ago, she was honored as Excellent Sanitation Worker by the National Tourism Administration. It was the happiest day of her life. “Standing on the stage, I cried, because it is not only a prize, but a kind of understanding and recognition.” Liu says.

In spite of thc heavy work during the daytime, Liu spends every night learning from her sister"s textbooks. “Sometimes I read till 3 o"clock in the morning and get up at 6 to go to work,” she says. Two years ago, she passed the entrance examination for the “Worker College”, and this year, she obtained a diploma in finance. Her thesis was selected for excellence and was honored at the commencement.

二、范文分析

Time spent in a book shop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a booklover or merely there to find shelter from a sudden shower.Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dustjacket is irresistible, although this method for selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent for too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course.

This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a book shop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a book shop.You can wander round such places to your heart"s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he had led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. You have to be very careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a book shop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best selling novel and perhaps a book about brass--rubbing--something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject however happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent.

There is story which well illustrates this. A medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn"t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his book shop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book missing from its usual place and was about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop becking to him. Expecting to be told the book, which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it”, he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.

本文的话题《书店》读者再熟悉不过了,一般很难写出新意来,但作者独具匠心,对书店进行精辟的论述,其中包括书店的功能、服务人员的态度都给读者深刻见解。最后的故事感人至深,也进一步赋予书店人间的真情。
