06 作家海明威的一生 (一)
DATE=2-25-01
TITLE=PEOPLE IN AMERICA #1810 - ERNEST HEMINGWAY, PT. 1
BYLINE=RICHARD THORMAN
voice one:
I'm shirley griffith. Voice two: And I'm frank oliver with people in america, a special english program about people who were important in the history of the united states. Today, we tell about the life of writer ernest hemingway.
(theme)
Voice one:
"A writer is always alone, always an (1)outsider," (2)ernest (3)hemingway said. Others said that of the many people he (4)created in his books, hemingway was his own best creation
Ernest hemingway was born in eighteen-ninety-five. He grew up in (5)oak park, illinois, near the middle western city of chicago. He was the second child in a family of six. His father was a doctor. His mother liked to paint and play the piano.
Each summer the family travelled to their holiday home in northern (6)michigan. Ernest's father taught him how to catch fish, hunt, set up a camp and cook over a fire.
At home in oak park, ernest wrote for his school newspaper. He tried to write like a famous sports writer of that time, ring lardner. He developed his writing skills this way.
Voice two:
In nineteen-seventeen, hemingway decided not to go to a (7)university. The united states had just entered world war one and he wanted to join the army. But the army rejected him because his (8)yesight was not good enough. Ernest found a job with the (9)kansas city star newspaper in kansas city, (10)missouri. He reported news from the hospital, police (11)headquarters, and the railroad station. One reporter remembered: "hemingway liked to be where the action was."
The kansas city star (12)demanded that its reporters write short (13)sentences. It wanted reporters to see the unusual details in an (14)incident. Hemingway quickly learned to do both.
He worked for the newspaper only nine months before he joined the red cross to help on the battlefields of europe. His job was to drive a red cross truck carrying wounded away from battle.
Voice one:
The red cross sent him to italy. Soon he saw his first wounded when an arms factory in (15)milan exploded. Later, he was sent to the battle front. He went as close to the fighting as possible to see how he would act in the face of danger. Before long, he was seriously wounded.
The war ended soon after he healed. Hemingway returned to the united states. Less than a year had passed since he went to (16)europe. But in that short time he had changed forever. He needed to write about what he had seen. Voice two:
Ernest hemingway left home for chicago to prove to himself, and to his family, that he could earn a living from his (17)writing.
But, he ran out of money and began to write for a newspaper again. The canadian newspaper, the (18)toronto star, liked his reports about life in chicago and paid him well.
Voice one:
In chicago, hemingway met the writer sherwood anderson. Anderson was one of the first writers in america to write about the lives of common people. Hemingway saw that anderson's stories showed life as it really was, the way hemingway was trying to do.
Anderson gave hemingway advice about his writing. He told hemingway to move to paris, where living was less costly. He said paris was full of young artists and writers from all over the world.
In return for anderson's (19)kindness hemingway wrote a book called the torrents of spring. It makes fun of anderson and the way he wrote. There was something in hemingway that could not say "thank you" to anyone. He had to believe he did everything for himself, even when he knew others helped him. Voice two:
Hemingway decided to move to paris. But before he did he married a woman he had recently met. Her name was hadley (20)richardson.
Paris was cold and gray when hemingway and his new wife arrived in nineteen-twenty-one. They lived in one of the poorer parts of the city. Their rooms were small and had no running water. But the toronto star (21)employed him as its european reporter, so there was enough money for the two of them to live. And the job gave hemingway time to write his stories.
Voice one:
Hemingway enjoyed (22)exploring paris, making new friends, learning french customs and sports. Some new friends were artists and writers who had come to paris in the nineteen-twenties. Among them were poet, ezra pound, and writers gertrude stein, john dos passos, and f. Scott (23)fitzgerald. They quickly saw that hemingway was a good writer. They helped him publish his stories in the united states. He was thankful for their support at the time, but later denied that he had received help.
As a reporter, hemingway travelled all over europe. He wrote about (24)politics. He wrote about peace conferences and border disputes. And he wrote about sports, skiing and fishing. Later he would write about bull fighting in spain. The toronto star was pleased with his work, and wanted more of his reports. But hemingway was busy with his own writing.
He said: "sometimes, i would start a new story and could not get it going. Then i would stand and look out over the roofs of paris and think. I would say to myself: 'all you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know. So (25)finally, i would write a true sentence and go on from there. It was a (26)wonderful (27)feeling when i had worked well." voice two:
Hemingway's first book of stories was called in our time. It included a story, called "big two hearted river," about the effect of war on a young man. It tells about the young man taking a long fishing trip in michigan. Hemingway had learned from his father when he was a boy about living in the wild.
The story is about two kinds of rivers. One is calm and clear. It is where the young man fishes. The other is dark. It is a (28)swamp, a (29)threatening place.
The story shows the young man trying to forget his past. He is also trying to forget the war. Yet he never really speaks about it. The reader learns about the young man, not because hemingway tells us what the young man thinks, but because he shows the young man learning about himself. "big two hearted river" is (30)considered one of the best modern american stories. It is often published in collections of best writing.
Voice one:
After the book was (31)published in nineteen-twenty-five, hadley and hemingway returned to the united states for the birth of their son. They quickly returned to paris.
Hemingway was working on a long story. He wanted to publish a (32)novel so he would be recognized as a(33)serious writer. And he wanted the money a novel would earn.
The novel was called the sun also rises. It is about young americans in europe after world war one. The war had destroyed their (34)dreams. And it had given them nothing to replace those dreams. The writer gertrude stein later called these people members of "the lost (35)generation."
Voice two:
The book was an (36)immediate success. At the age of twenty-five ernest hemingway was famous.
Many people, however, could not recognize hemingway's art because they did not like what he wrote about. Hemingway's sentences were short, the way he had been taught to write at the kansas city star newspaper. He wrote about what he knew and felt. He used few descriptive words. His statements were clear and easily understood.
He had learned from earlier writers, like ring lardner and sherwood anderson. But hemingway brought something new to his writing. He was able to paint in words what he saw and felt. In later books, sometimes he missed. Sometimes he even looked foolish. But when he was right he was almost perfect. Voice one:
With the success of his novel, hemingway became even more popular in paris. Many people came to see him. One was an american woman, pauline pfeiffer. She became hadley's friend. Then pauline fell in love with hemingway. Hemingway and pauline saw each other secretly. One time, they went away together on a short trip. Years later, hemingway wrote about returning home after that trip:
"when i saw hadley again, i wished i had died before i ever loved anyone but her. She was smiling and the sun was on her lovely face."
But the (37)marriage was over. Ernest hemingway and hadley separated. She kept their son. He agreed to give her money he (38)earned from his books.
In later years, he looked back at his marriage to hadley as the happiest time of his life.
(theme)
voice two:
This people in america (39)program was written by richard thorman and bill rogers. I'm frank oliver.
Voice one:
And i'm shirley griffith. Join us again next week for the final part of the story of erndst hemingway in special english on the voice of america.

07 作家海明威的一生 (二)
DATE=3-4-01
TITLE=PEOPLE IN AMERICA #1811 - Ernest Hemingway Pt. 2
BYLINE=RICHARD THORMAN
VOICE ONE:
I'M Shirley Griffith
VOICE TWO:
AND I'M Doug Johnson with people in America, a program about people who are important in the history of the United States. Today we (1) present the second part of the story of Ernest Hemingway's life and (2)writings.
(Theme)
voice one:
At twenty-five, Hemingway was living in Paris. He was a famous writer. But the end of his first marriage made him want to leave the (3) place where he had first become famous
. Years later he said, "the city was never to be the same again. When I returned to it, I found it had changed as I had changed. (4)Paris was never the same as when I was poor and very happy."
voice two:
Hemingway and his new wife returned to the United States in nineteen-twenty-eight. They settled in Key West, an island with a fishing port near the southern coast of (5) Florida.
Before leaving Paris, Hemingway sent a (6) collection of his (7)stories to New York to be (8)published. The book of stories, called "men without women," was published soon after Hemingway arrived in Key west.
One of the stories was called "the killers." in it, Hemingway used a (9) discussion between two men to (10)create a feeling of (11)tension and coming violence. This was a new method of telling a story:
storyteller:
Nick opened the door and went into the room. Ole Andreson was lying on the bed with all his clothes on. He had been a heavyweight (12) Prizefighter and he was too long for the bed. He lay with his head on two (13) Pillows. He did not look at (14)nick.
"What was it?" he asked.
"I was up at Henry's," nick said, "and two fellows came in and tied me up and the cook, and they said they were going to kill you."
It sounded silly when he said it. Ole Andreson said nothing,
"They put us out in the (15) kitchen," nick went on. "They were going to shoot you when you came in to supper."
Ole Andreson looked at the wall and did not say anything. "George thought i ought to come and tell you about it."
"There isn't anything i can do about it," ole Andreson said.
Voice one:
Any new book by Hemingway was an important event for readers. But stories like "the killers" shocked many people. Some thought there was too much violence in his stories. Others said he only wrote about Gunmen, Soldiers, Fighters, and (16) Drinkers.
This kind of (17) criticism made Hemingway angry. He felt that writers should not be judged by those who could not (18) write a story.
Voice two:
Hemingway was happy in Key west. In the morning he wrote, in the afternoon he fished, and at night he went to a public house and drank. One old (19) fisherman said: "Hemingway was a man who talked slowly and very (20)carefully. He asked a lot of questions. And he always wanted to get his information exactly right."
Hemingway and his wife Pauline had a child in Key west. Soon afterward he heard that his father had killed himself. Hemingway was shocked. He said, "my father taught me so much. He was the only one i really cared about."
When Hemingway returned to work there was a (21) sadness about his writing that was not there before.
His new book told about an American soldier who served with the italian army during world war one. He meets an English nurse, and they fall in love. They flee from the army, but she dies during (22) childbirth. Some of the events are taken from Hemingway's (23) service in Italy. The book is called a (24) Farewell to arms.
Part of the book talks about the (25) defeat of the Italian army at a place called Caporetto:
(26)storyteller:
"at noon we were stuck in a muddy road about as nearly as we could (27)figure, ten kilometres from udine. The rain had stopped during the (28) forenoon and three times we had heard planes coming, seen them pass (29)overhead, watched them go far to the left and heard them (30)bombing on the main (31)highroad....
"later we were on a road that led to a river. There was a long line of (32) abandoned trucks and carts on a road leading up to a bridge. No one was in sight. The river was high and the bridge had been blown up in the center; the stone arch was fallen into the river and the brown water was going over it. We went up the bank looking for a place to cross. we did not see any (33)troops; only abandoned trucks and stores. Along the river bank was nothing and no one but the wet brush and muddy ground."
voice one:
A farewell to arms was very successful. It earned hemingway a great deal of money. And it permitted him to travel. One place he visited was (34)Spain, a country that he loved. He said, "I want to paint with words all the sights and sounds and smells of Spain. And if I can write any of it down truly, then it will (35) represent all of Spain."
A book called death in the afternoon was the result. It describes the Spanish tradition of bull fighting. Hemingway believed that bull fighting was an art, just as much as writing was an art. And he believed it was a true test of a man's bravery, something that always (36)concerned him.
Voice two:
Hemingway also travelled to Africa. He had been asked to write a series of reports about African hunting. He said, "hunting in Africa is the kind of hunting i like. No riding in cars, just simple walking and feeling the grass under my feet."
The trip to Africa resulted in a book called the green hills of Africa and a number of stories. One story is among Hemingway's best. He said a writer saves some stories to write when he knows enough to write them well.
The story is called "the snows of Kilmanjaro." it tells of Hemingway's fears about himself. It is about a writer who (37) betrays his art for money and is unable to remain true to himself.
Voice one:
In nineteen-thirty-six, the civil war in Spain gave him a chance to return to Spain and test his bravery again. He agreed to write about the war for an American news organization.
It was a dangerous job. One day, Hemingway and two other reporters were driving a car near a battlefield. The car carried two white flags. But rebel gunners thought the car was carrying enemy officers. Hemingway was almost killed. He said, "Shells are all the same. If they do not hit you, there is no story. If they do hit you, then you do not have to write it."
The trip to Spain resulted in two works, a play called the fifth (38 )column, and the novel, for whom the bell tolls. The novel tells the story of an American who has chosen to fight against the fascists. He realizes that there are lies and injustice on his side, as well as the other. But he sees no hope except the victory of his side. During the fighting, he escapes his fear of death and of being alone. He finds that "he can live as full a life in seventy hours as in seventy years."
The book was a great success. Hemingway enjoyed being famous. His second marriage was ending. He divorced Auline and married reporter Martha Gellhorn. He had met Martha while they were working in Spain. They decided to live in Cuba, near the city of Havana. Their house looked out over the Caribbean sea. But this marriage did not last long. Hemingway was changing. He began to feel that whatever he said was right. Martha went on long trips to be away from him. He drank heavily to forget his (39) loneliness.
Voice two:
When America entered world war two, Hemingway went to Britain as a reporter. Later he took part in the invasion of Europe and the freeing of Paris.
During the war Hemingway met another (40) reporter, Mary Walsh. In nineteen-forty-five, when his marriage to Martha was legally over, he (41) married Mary.
After the war, Hemingway began work on his last important book, the old man and the sea. It is the story of a Cuban fisherman who refuses to be defeated by nature.
Hemingway said, "I was trying to show the experience of the fisherman so exactly and directly that it became part of the reader's (42) experience." In nineteen-fifty-four, Hemingway won the Nobel prize for literature. But he was too sick to take part in the ceremony.
Voice one:
Ernest Hemingway was sixty years old, but he said he felt like he was eight-six. And, even worse, he felt that he no longer was able to write. He seemed to be living the story about the writer who had sold his writing skill in order to make money.
In nineteen-sixty-one Ernest Hemingway killed himself. Among the papers he left was one that described what he liked best:
"to stay in places and to leave...to trust, to distrust...to no longer believe and believe again...to watch the (43) changes in the seasons...to be out in boats...to watch the snow come, to watch it go...to hear the rain...and to know where I can find what I want."
(Theme)
voice two:
This program was written by Richard Thorman. I'm Doug Johnson.
Voice one:
And I'm Shirley Griffith. Join us again next week for another people in America program in special English on the voice of America.

DATE=3-2-2001
TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #807 - Dale Earnhardt-NASCAR
BYLINE=Paul Thompson
HOST:
(Start at 1'01") American (1)automobile racing (2)driver Dale Earnhardt died last week. He was killed during ond!of the most famous races in the United States, the Daytona Five-Hundred. He was forty-nine years old. Shep O'Neal has more.
ANNCR:
Dale Earnhardt was killed when his race car hit a wall while traveling more than two-hundred-eighty kilometers an hour. He was very near the finish of the Daytona Five-Hundred Mile Race at the Daytona International(3)Speedway in Daytona, Florida. Earnhardt was trying to block the paths of the drivers behind him. He was in third place. The two cars ahead of him were driven by his son Dale and Michael Waltrip. Waltrip won the race.
The Daytona Five-Hundred is an extremely popular race in the United States. It is supported by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, known as (4)NASCAR. Thousands of people attend NASCAR races. Millions more watch them on television.
NASCAR races began in the southern United States after World War Two. Many of the first drivers had used their cars to (5)transport illegal (6)alcohol. Then people began to pay money to watch them race. Leadess of auto racing organizations formed NASCAR in Nineteen-Forty-Seven. They did so to support the races, (7)publish rules and organize the sport.
Since then, NASCAR races have become extremely (8)popular. Many of the top drivers are famous throughout the United States. In addition to Dale Earnhardt, they include Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough and Darell Waltrip. They have become heroes to people who follow the races. These men have also earned millions of dollars racing cars.
Everyone knows it is extremely dangerous to race cars at speeds of more than two-hundred-eighty kilometers an hour. NASCAR is trying to make the sport safer. All racing cars have special (9)devices to protect drivers. They also have special devices that prevent fires.
However, race officials say it is impossible to protect a driver who crashes into a wall. The sudden stop almost always results in death. Race officials are looking for a vay to (10)design a wall that would protect the crowds, and still prevent the sudden stop that results from a crash.
Dale Earnhardt was one of the most successful and best loved drivers in NASCAR history. NASCAR officials say they will (11)investigate his accident to find ways to make the race safer in the future.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #807 - Foreign Student Series, Part 24: Health (12)Insurance
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
HOST:
Our VOA listener question today comes in an e-mail from China. Zhang Mei-zhen asks about the health insurance required of every foreign student who attends an American college or university.
Most full-time students at American universities must have health insurance. This is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious (13)accidents or sickness.
Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This (14)service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.
Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance (15)policies. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans.
For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge for minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about eight-hundred dollars a year. The insurance pays for hospital services, (16)emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also pays for laboratory tests and x-rays. And it pays ninety percent of the!cost of drugs ordered by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control, care of the teeth or (17)eyeglasses. And it does not pay for (18)preventive care such as injections that prevent disease.
Students at Boston College in (19)Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or to buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about five-hundred dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a time period. It does not pay for eyeglasses, hearing aids, or dental treatment.
Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The (20)details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, (21)treatment of (22)injuries and hospital costs.
Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do not need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The (23)purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #807 - Grammy Awards
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
HOST:
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences presented its forty-third yearly Grammy Awards last week. Shirley Griffith tells us about the Grammies and some of the songs that won this year.
ANNCR:
The Grammy Awards recognize excellent musical recordings and the musicians who create them. The award is a small statue. It is shaped like the early record player called a (24)gramophone. The word "grammy" is a short way of saying gramophone.
Members of the Recording Academy choose the best work each year. This year, one-hundred awards were given at a (25)ceremony in Los Angeles, California.
The Song of the Year is an award for the best songwriter. The winner this year was the group U-Two for writing the song "Beautiful Day." The song also won the (26)Grammy for Best Single Record of the Year.
((CUT 1: BEAUTIFUL DAY))
The Grammy for best Album of the Year went to the rock group Steely Dan for the album "Two Against Nature." It also won the award for best Pop Vocal (27)Album. A song on that album won the Grammy for best Pop Duo or Group. We leave you now with that song, "(28)Cousin Dupree."

09 爵士乐的由来 (一)
DATE=2/26/2001 TITLE=THIS IS AMERICA #1053 - History of Jazz, Pt.1 BYLINE=Jerilyn Watson
VOICE ONE:
Some music experts say jazz is America's greatest gift to the arts. This kind of music developed from the (1)traditional sounds of African-American life. I'm Steve Ember.
VOICE TWO:
And I'm Shirley Griffith. The history of jazz is our report today on the VOA Special English program, THIS IS AMERICA.
((TAPE CUT ONE: "CHARLESTON," INSTEAD OF THEME))
VOICE ONE:
(2)Recently, a series of television films in the United States told the story of the music called (3)jazz.(4) Filmmaker and writer Ken Burns and writer Geoffrey C. Ward told how this music developed over the years. They showed how African-Americans created new sounds from their memories of (5)slavery in the South. The filmmakers told how black, Creole and white Americans created a new musical form. Today, millions of people around the world love jazz.
VOICE TWO:
"Jazz" can mean different jiods of music: swing, bebop or fusion. Jazz can make the listener feel sad or joyful, quiet or full of energy. It can sound hot -- or very cool.
Performers of jazz create some of the music as they play. They add their own notes to music that is written down. Each time a jazz musician plays a piece, it can sound fresh and new. Jazz musicians surprise listeners by breaking up traditional (6)rhythms. And, they give greater (7)intensity to unexpected parts of the music.
VOICE ONE:
Jazz probably had its roots in the nineteenth century. In the late Eighteen-Eighties, African-Americans began to develop new forms of music. They created blues music from the gospel music and sad songs of their years in slavery. Ragtime also (8)influenced the (9)creation of jazz. This music first gained (10)popularity in the Eighteen-Nineties in the South. African-American piano player Scott Joplin wrote many (11)ragtime songs. Listen now as Joshua Rifkin plays Joplin's "(12)Maple Leaf Rag."
((TAPE CUT TWO: "MAPLE LEAF RAG")) 4'06''
VOICE TWO:
African-American and Creole musicians in New Orleans, (13)Louisiana probably developed the first true jazz music. This happened during the early Nineteen-Hundreds. Musicians performing in (14)memorial and holiday (15)parades added their own music to written music. This New Orleans music is often called (16)classic, traditional or Dixieland jazz.
From New Orleans, musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet and King (17)Oliver helped spread jazz to other places. King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band plays "Chimes Blues."
((TAPE CUT THREE: "(18)CHIMES BLUES")) 5'53''
VOICE ONE:
Jazz continued to gain popularity as the years passed. During the Nineteen-Twenties, Louis (19)Armstrong became famous for his performances on the (20)trumpet and jazz (21)cornet. Later his unusual voice became just as famous. Listen as Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five play "West End Blues."
((TAPE CUT FOUR: "WEST END BLUES"))
VOICE TWO:
Historians often call the Nineteen-Twenties the Jazz Age, or the Golden Age of American Jazz. Young people from the Middle West created a new musical form during this time. People called this Chicago-style jazz. These musicians included great performers like Gene Krupa and Benny (22)Goodman.
During this Golden Age, Bix Beiderbecke ('BX euhr behk) played cornet solos with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. He also played piano and wrote music. Here he plays "There Ain't No Sweet Man (Worth the Salt of My Tears)" with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra.
((TAPE CUT FIVE: "THERE AIN'T NO SWEET MAN" ))
VOICE ONE:
As time passed, a jazz form called "swing" became very popular in America. People danced to swing music until after World War Two. This musical form got its name from a song by Duke Ellington. Listen as Duke Ellington and his (23)orchestra play "Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing").
((TAPE CUT SIX: "SING, SING, SING (WITH A SWING"))
VOICE TWO:
Benny Goodman led one of America's most successful swing bands. People called Goodman "The King of Swing." Critics also praised his playing of the (24)clarinet. He was the first jazz clarinetist to play with (25)symphony orchestras. Goodman also presented black and white jazz musicians playing together for the first time. He introduced great African-American jazz artists like Lionel Hampton and Teddy Wilson.
Other big bands of the time were led by Jimmy Dorsey and Tommy Dorsey, Earl Hines, Artie Shaw, Stan Kenton and Glenn Miller. Fine jazz singers performed with these bands. They included Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holiday. Listen now as Billie Holiday sings "(26)Solitude."
((TAPE CUT SEVEN: "SOLITUDE"))
VOICE ONE:
After World War Two, a new kind of music replaced swing as the most popular jazz. Next week, we will tell you about this kind of music called bebop. Until then, we leave you with the Glenn Miller Orchestra playing "String of Pearls."
((TAPE CUT EIGHT: "STRING OF PEARLS" INSTEAD OF THEME))
VOICE TWO:
This program was written by Jerilyn Watson. It was produced by Cynthia Kirk. Our studio engineer was Holly Capehart. I'm Shirley Griffith.
VOICE ONE:
And I'm Steve Ember. Join us again next week for the second part of our report about the history of jazz on the VOA Special English program, THIS IS AMERICA.
