Text A
Edgar Snow was a reporter and a journalist. He was a doer, a eker of facts. His mature years were spent in communicating to people — he was an opener of minds, a bright pair of eyes on what went on about him. Fortunately, he went to many places, knew many peopl
e, saw many things; thus he communicated from depth and involvement. Suspicious of dogma, he stated in his autobiography, “What interested me was chiefly people, all kinds of people, and what they thought and said and how they lived — rather than official, and what they said in their interviews and handouts about what the people’ thought and said.” In writing about people and the events which shaped or misshaped their lives, his point of view was esntially honest and arching — founded on his own inquiry and resting on a body of truth perceived with vision and with compassion. His valued friend and editor, Mary Heathcoat, stated that to Edgar Snow, “True professionalism meant telling the truth as one saw it, with as many of the reasons for its existence as one could find out and as much empathy as possible for the people experiencing it.” “Edgar Snow,” she added, “was a respecter of all persons, and he knew the world had billions of important people in it.”
That he is remembered mostly through 汉译英翻译Red Star Over China is understandable. The accounts in that book were of international importance and the experience for the author in getting tho accounts was perhaps the most significant one in his life. Though it is typi
cal of him that, after the acclaim the book received, he commented, “I simply wrote down what I was told by the extraordinary young men and women with whom it was my privilege to live at age thirty, and from whom I learned a great deal.” That “great deal” spread from the pages of Red Star to alter the thinking of countless people — including many citizens of China who were led by it to action that drastically affected their own lives and the cour of their country’s future. An awesome realization of personal responsibility also came about at this point for the young journalist, one he was cognizant of the rest of his life — the discovery, as he heard of friends and students killed in a war they had been moved to join largely becau of his reports, that his writing had taken on the nature of political action and that he, as a writer, had to be personally answerable for all he wrote.

Text B
Anna liked the look of the hou as soon as she saw it. Jack knew that before she said anything. The plain white walls, the black window frames and door — the good taste of that combination had always plead her.
“It’s a nice family hou,” she said, “one can e it’s been well lived in.”
Fifty-ven Eden Square was a tall narrow hou of three storeys in the middle of a row f
acing a small park. It was in what a hou agent would call a popular rather than a fashionable area. The little front gate was open, broken. They went in and up a few stone steps to the front door. They could e in through one of the sitting-room windows from which a net curtain had fallen at one side. The large room was almost bare. A dirty green carpet half covered the floor. From an old brick fireplace a gas-fire had been pulled out into the room. The wallpaper was dark green, dirty and damp-looking. There was no furniture. Silently they stared in. Then Jack tried the front door. It was locked.

“It’s been empty a long while,” he said, “all last winter at least. Is it worth going to the agent to get the keys? We’d have to do an awful lot of cleaning up.”
“Any empty hou up for sale needs cleaning.” said Anna, “That’s part of the fun of buying. You can make it look so different. This place will be a lot better when cleaned up. How much do you think it’ll cost?”
“Well, it’s about eighty years old, and modernized probably.” He stepped back and looked up. “It should have three or four large bed-rooms, as large as I think bedrooms ought to b
e, and one or two small ones. That is, if it wasn’t ud as a guesthou in the days before people started going to Spain for their holidays, I think it would cost about fifteen thousand. It depends on how modern it is inside. We’ll get the keys and have a look, shall we?”
