在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。(1)人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。(2) 这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。(3)开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。(4) 吃头两个主菜时，也赞不绝口。(5) 愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿宴席，缺点就都找出来了。(6) 于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。(7) 这是因为，第一，开始吃时你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜。(8) 第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖的茅房三天香，这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。(10) Analysis: Attention should be paid to cohesive devices: reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction lexical cohesion Repetition and substitution: 开始吃时你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜. A: …as you start eating you are in hunger, and when you are in hunger chaff tastes sweet as honey… B: …as you start eating you are in hunger, and when chaff tastes sweet as honey…(better) Here is used a “when” clause, which helps to avoid unnecessary repetition. For instance: 那是一个寒冷潮湿的夜晚，这样的晚上大部分人都待在家里。 It was one of those cold and wet evenings when most people stayed indoors. Naturally, “and vice versa” and “the other way round” are used to indicate that the reverse of what you have said is also true. Another example: 为了推动中美关系的发展，中国需要进一步了解美国，美国也需要进一步了解中国。 To promote the development of Sino-American relations, China needs to know the United States better, and vice versa. S8:……饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜. A: Even chaff tastes sweet as honey when one is hungry, whereas honey does not taste sweet at all when one is full. B: The least tasteful food taste sweet when you’re hungry while the sweetest honey tastes nothing special when you’re full. C: Husks will taste like honey when you are hungry, and vice versa. (better) Ellipsis: Like substitution, It is a means to avoid repetition. S7:于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。 A: Therefore, delight changes to anger; praise changes to blame; and nodding head changes to shaking head. B: Consequently, your joy would give way to anger; your praises to criticism or even fault-finding; and your nodding (in agreement) to headshaking. (better) Connection: Explicit (English) vs. implicit (Chinese) S2:人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。 A: Human beings are interesting. When it is the first time you meet a person, you only
