4、dministration and said he was darn補(bǔ)綴 proud to be an American. The Reagan Administration had little to say today about the release of Jacobsen or the likelihood可能性 that other hostages may be freed. Boarding Air Force One in Las Vegas, the President said, Theres no way to tell right now. Weve been wor

9、e Barber reports. After Preliminary初期的 medical checkups today, David Jacobs doctor said he was tired but physically in very good condition.

16、ion革命, Mao Tsetong, died ten years ago today. During his lifetiime, Mao became a cult狂熱的 figure, but the current government has tried to change that. Now his tomb and enbalmed body in Beijing are just another tourist旅游 attraction. And no longer do millions of Chinese study or wave aloft在高處 the famou

17、s Little Red Book of Quotations語錄 from Chairman Mao. Along with the political writing, Mao wrote poetry as well, poems about the revolution, the Red Army, poems about nature. Willis Barnstone has translated some of Maos work and considers him an original原創(chuàng)的 master大師, one of Chinas most important poe

18、ts. Had he not been a revolutionary, perhaps his poetry would not have been as interesting because his personal poetry was the history of China. At the same time because he was a famous revolutionary and leader, it has prejudiced損害 most people, almost correctly, to dismiss his poetry as simply the w

19、ork of a man who achieved fame elsewhere. But his work was not dismissed within China though? Well, now its almost consciously自覺地、有意地 forgotten. But when I was there in 72, you could see his poems on every dining room wall, engraved on peach-pits . During lunch hours, workers would study his poems.

20、They were every place. Is there, though, a revisionist thinking within literary circles? Are people saying Mao wasnt any good as a poet either? No. Well, at least in my conversations交談 in the year I recently spent in Peking teaching at the university there, I found very few people who didnt think he

21、 was a very good poet. But they did feel that his suggestions which were that people not write in the classical style, that they write in what he called the modern style, was very repressive殘酷的. And as a result, of course, the restriction限制 of publication during the ten years of the Cultural Revolut

22、ion, poetry was abysmal糟透的. When you say the modern style, would that be, for example, free verse詩(shī)句? It would be free verse as opposed to classical rhymes or classical forms. You write in the introduction to one of your translations of poems of Mao Tsetong that people . you explain that leaders in C

23、hina, and indeed in the East, are expected to be accomplished完成了的、熟練地 poets. Yes. I think thats true. The night that Tojo . before Tojo died, he, . in Japan, he wrote some poems. Ho Chi Minh was a poet. It was common. In fact, I think until early in the twentieth century, even to pass a bureaucratic

24、 exam, one had to know a huge number of classical forms. And especially, a leader should at least be a poet. There is one poem which is political in nature which has to do with a parasitic寄生的 disease in China. Yes. Mao wrote some poems, two poems actually, about getting rid of a disease that was a p

25、lague災(zāi)難 for the country. And its called Saying goodbye to the God of Disease. And the poem needs annotation注解. In that sense, its typical of classical Chinese poetry; he makes references to earlier emperors and places. Saying Goodbye to the God of Disease Mauve waters and green mountains are nothing

26、 When the great ancient doctor Hua Tuo Could not defeat a tiny worm. A thousand villages collapsed, were choked with weeds, Men were lost arrows, ghosts sang In the doorway of a few desolate houses. Yet now in a day, we leap around the earth, Or explore a thousand milky ways. And if the cowherd who

27、lives on a star Asks about the God of plagues, Tell him, happy or sad, The God is gone, Washed away in the waters. A poem by Mao Tsetong read by Willis Barnstone, Professor of Comparative Literature at Indiana University in Bloomington. He talked with us from WFIU.Lesson TwoSection One: News in Brie

He likes to talk, whether that be to a group of press or to individual單獨(dú)的 physicians內(nèi)科醫(yī)生. Once you get him started on a subject, he wants to talk because h

38、e revolutionary government of Iran. Rafsanjani then reportedly described for the tens of thousands outside his parliament, the visit of the five American emissaries特使.

44、aid to be growing. Some are called ultra-fundamentalist groups. The estimates估計(jì) varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in common-strong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in Octo

45、ber at a fundamentalist Christian commune in West Virginia, a young boy died after a paddling涉水 session集會(huì) that lasted for two hours. The child was spanked打 by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling - the story of the Stonegate Co

46、mmunity in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted證明、有罪, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail監(jiān)獄 terms, and now they have agreed

47、to tell their story. The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. Its mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working toge

48、ther. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to become less of a commune and more of a community, with the families living in separate houses on the property房產(chǎn). We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982.

49、We were reluctantly不情愿的 welcomed. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted起訴 for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry. That was four years

50、ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, were convicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate commune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but s

51、he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy陰謀 in the death of Joey Green.Stewart Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellans teachings and influence. He explained in court that the Stonegate members were taught t

52、hat a paddling session should continue until the child apologizes. Green also testified that a four-hour spanking of Dorothy McLellans grandson, Danny, had occurred two weeks before Joey Greens death. He also said the Stonegate members, when Joey died, joined in a pledge of secrecy: the circumstance

53、s would be covered up; the death would be called an accident. They were afraid all the Stonegate children would be taken away. Joeys parents at first agreed to this. It was later that they spoke out against what they called then a conspiracy of silence. Both Stewart and Leslie Green grew up and marr

54、ied within the Stonegate community. Leslie was only fifteen when she carrfe to the Stonegate. They lived with several other teenagers in the home of Dorothy and John McLellan. The McLellans had been taking in young people who were having trouble, usually with drugs. They wanted to use their marriage

55、 as an example of Christian family life. John McLellan worked for an accounting firm, travelling during the week, Dot McLellan staying at home, taking care of more and more teenagers. The Greens are now living in their first real home together, an apartment in Baltimore. Stewart left the Stonegate,
