高中英語閱讀理解練習(xí)100篇 Silly question

閱讀試題

One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel".Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go walking along the street or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say "Fine.I'm all right." But you've put a bug in his ear maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend,you may have seen something in his face,or his walk that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all fight,while you go merrily on your way asking someone else. "How do you feel?" Every question has its time and place It's perfectly acceptable,for instance,to ask "How do you feel if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train,or sitting at his desk working,it's no time to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw,the famous writer of plays was in his eighties,someone asked him "How doyou feel". Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said. "either you feel all right or you're dead"

原文翻譯

“你感覺怎么樣”是一個愚蠢的讓我無法忍受的問題。這個問題通常會問那些正在忙著的人——一個正沿著街道趕路去某地的人，或者一個正埋頭工作的人。那么你期望從他那里得到什么答案呢?他很可能說“很不錯”。但是你卻給了他一個暗示——可能他當(dāng)時(shí)不知道。如果你是他的一個好朋友，你也許在他臉上，或者走路的樣子上發(fā)現(xiàn)什么他早晨沒有覺察到的不妥。你的話使他開始感覺有點(diǎn)不安。你也猜的到，接著他要做的第一件事，就是找個鏡子，看看自己是不是有什么不對。這個時(shí)候你卻開心的我行我素，去問其他人這個問題了“你感覺怎么樣?”

每個問題都有它提問的適當(dāng)時(shí)機(jī)和場合。例如，如果你去醫(yī)院探望一個親密的朋友，這個時(shí)候你問他“你覺得怎么樣?”就十分的恰當(dāng)。但是，如果這個人匆忙趕路去趕火車，或者在埋頭工作，沒有時(shí)間去他這種傻瓜問題。

當(dāng)George Bernard Shaw——一個著名的劇作家，在他80多歲的時(shí)候，有人問他：“你感覺怎么樣”，Shaw讓這個人站在自己的角度來想想。“當(dāng)你到了我這個年齡，”他說“要么你感覺良好，要么你已經(jīng)死了?！?br />
