If today I use a singular personal pronoun to refer to myself, next week I will use the plural form. While the others are absent you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, coming and going as you please without apology, staying up late to read, soaking in the bath, eating a whole pint of ice cream at one sitting, moving at your own pace. Those absent will be back. Their waterproof winter coats are in the closet and the dog keeps watching for them at the window. But when you live alone, the temporary absence of your friends and acquaintances leaves a vacuum; they may never come back."If you live with other people, and they leave just for a short time, you will feel good staying alone for a while. Because this is a new and pleasant experience for you. You can relax yourself; you feel carefree and lighthearted. But if you live alone, all by yourself, you may want to be with your friends and acquaintances very often, and if they leave even for a short time, you will feel empty. 使..感到耳目一新 放飞自己的灵魂 填满整个房间 随意来去而 熬夜读书 大泡浴缸 一口气 按自己的节奏行动 密切留意 使你感到空虚 null1.

Some of us divorced, some widowed, some never yet committed. 从未结婚null*Read Part Two carefully, and answer the following question:Para. 2 Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it’s more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero. The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas. Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town. Now, that’s character for you. Hanry and David both live a solitary life. Hanry's wife passed away five months ago; his two children live and work in different cities. This 68-year-old man lives with 17 parrots and 3 cats, who make his room a crazy mess. David, 27, is young, attractive and urban. He has no girlfriend because he believes marriage doesn't make much sense to a man who spends his incomes not on mortgages and diapers but on electronic entertainment, clothes, and exciting cars. Would the Americans make the same remarks on the two men?null*Read Part Three carefully, and answer the following question: Underline the names of the poets and philosophers mentioned by the writer. Tell your deskmate about them if you know who they are. nullWilliam Wordsworth---an English romantic poet (1770—1850). He is regarded as the central figure in the initiation of English Romanticism. He is one of the main figures of the Lake School (湖畔派) (Other two Lake Poets are Samuel Taylor Coleridge柯勒律治 and Robert Southey骚塞) Most of his poetry is about the links between man and man, between humankind and the natural world. In 1843 he became England's poet laureate（桂冠诗人）. His most famous work is considered to be “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”nullJohn Milton---English poet, author, polemicist and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England. He wrote for civil and religious liberty. He lost his sight in the year of 1651, and thereafter dictated his works. He is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (《失乐园》，1667). Paradise Lost is an epic poem. It concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost is often considered one of the greatest literary works in the English language.nullHenry David Thoreau —— American author, poet, naturalist, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist (先验主义者). He graduated from Harvard University and taught school for several years He decided to become a poet of nature. He was influenced deeply by R. W. Emerson To demonstrate how satisfying a simple life could be, he lived in a hut beside Concord's Walden Pond for two years; essays recording his daily life were assembled for his masterwork, Walden (1854). null*look at flowerspoetrywoodspondput on his coat,find his notebook and pencilhouseworktakedictation ofnearcompanyWhat do you learn about the solitary life of three literary giants from the text?

If one is more aware of his own value and the fullness of his own presence, his desire to stay with other people is weaker. He is inwardly strong, and knows very well his own value and importance, so he doesn’t feel empty or insecure without companions. 人的自我意识越强，对他人陪伴的需求就越小。null*Read Part Four carefully, and answer the following question: Will a man who lives with other people feel the same about solitude as a man who lives alone? Who can a person living alone talk to? What does the writer think of this? What does the writer attempt to illustrate by citing the example of a woman at the market?null What is the writer’s attitude towards solitude? Living alone is easy and enjoyable for ordinary people. Living alone is hard, but people can still find it pleasant, just like a solitary British poet’s idle life. Living alone is hard. However, if one can settle down, he will find some grace and pleasure in this condition.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god. --- Francis Bacon Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines. --- Paul Bruntonnull*When we were in the woods, we saw a few daffodils close to the water side... I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones about and about them, some rested their heads upon these stones as on a pillow for weariness and the rest tossed and reeled and danced and seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind that blew upon them over the lake, they looked so gay ever dancing ever changing. This wind blew directly over the lake to them. There was here and there a little knot and a few stragglers a few yards higher up but they were so few as not to disturb the simplicity and unity and life of that one busy highway. We rested again and again. The Bays were stormy, and we heard the waves at different distances and in the middle of the water like the sea. — Dorothy Wordsworth, The Grasmere Journal , Thursday, 15 April 1802I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud --- William Wordsworth "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (also commonly known as "Daffodils" or "The Daffodils") is a poem by William Wordsworth. The inspiration for the poem came from a walk he took with his sister Dorothy around Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater, in the Lake District. Enjoy a Poemnull*I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud --- William Wordsworthvale: 山谷 a host of: 许多 flutter:摆动 the milky way:银河 stretch:延伸 margin:边缘 toss:摇晃 sprightly:生机勃勃的null*The waves beside them danced: but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed - and gazed - but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.out-do: 胜过 sparkling: 闪烁的 glee:欢乐 jocund:快乐的 company:陪伴 gaze:注视 couch:沙发 vacant:空虚的 pensive:忧郁的null*我孤独地漫游，像一朵云 在山丘和谷地上飘荡， 忽然间我看见一群 金色的水仙花迎春开放， 在树荫下，在湖水边， 迎着微风起舞翩翩。 连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂， 在银河里闪闪发光， 它们沿着湖湾的边缘 延伸成无穷无尽的一行； 我一眼看见了一万朵， 在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。 粼粼波光也在跳着舞， 水仙的欢欣却胜过水波； 与这样快活的伴侣为伍， 诗人怎能不满心欢乐！我久久凝望，却想象不到 这奇景赋予我多少财宝， 每当我躺在床上不眠， 或心神空茫，或默默沉思， 它们常在心灵中闪现， 那是孤独之中的福祉； 于是我的心便涨满幸福， 和水仙一同翩翩起舞。我孤独地漫游，像一朵云null*What is the theme of the poem? The overall theme of this poem is to enjoy nature. Nature can lift our spirit and cleanse our soul. Whatever bad life we struggle and gloomy world we live in , we never fail to seek comfort from nature. Taking a walk and enjoying simple things like daffodils dancing in the breeze, our inward eye will feel the tranquility and pleasure we seek. null*独自地 根据最近的统计 一种民族弊病 拒绝陪伴 抛弃/驱逐 冒险出去 征服大自然 疏离/不理睬 独处带来的灵感 对……给予高度评价 走进早春的阳光 蹑手蹑脚地走开 独处高士 洗衣服 放飞自己的灵魂 大泡浴缸 一口气地 使你感到空虚 时起时落 每日不断的琐碎抱怨 摔倒在打滑的地板上 积压 使窒息/说不出话来 不停地说，唠叨不休 保持理性 安静下来；定居 以自我为中心的 把。。关起来 暂时 还是。。为好 tame naturea sort of national diseasereject companyventure outinspiration in solitudespeak highly ofset forth into the early spring sunlighthigh priest of solitudeat one sittingleave a vacuumfall on a slippery floorstay rationalsettle downself-centeredfor the time beingChinese to Englishall by oneselfby recent countcast outTurn one’s back tosilently creep awaydo one’s laundrystretch out one’s soulsoak in bathrise and falldaily succession of complaintsback upchoke sb.talk at lengthseal sb.upmight as well1.

What is loneliness? Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation; i.e., lack of contact with people. It may stem from bad relationships, deliberate choice, infectious disease, mental disorders, or circumstances of employment or situation (see castaway). Loneliness is an unpleasant feeling, a strong sense of emptiness or solitude. It is completely subjective. null2. Why do people feel lonely? It is caused by an undesired lack of social connections , lack of friendships and loss of a significant person etc. Unlike solitude, loneliness is a subjective experience. Some people feel lonely in a relationship. Some feel lonely in a crowd. Some feel lonely because they aren’t in love. People who are lonely are desiring human contact. The sense of loneliness has in some ways increased as technology has degraded the quality of communication between people. Though people are more connected they are verbally communicating far less. Though on the bright side due to the subjective nature of loneliness if one wishes to not be lonely, they are not lonely. null*AssignmentChoose from the text some sentences you like and translate them into Chinese.
