unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldnt stand the idea of being the only football player who didnt, so he made a pact that hed give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasnt the brightest guy. Polly wasnt too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后， 我和波莉有了第一次约会。 那一年校园里每个 人都有件皮夹克， 而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的， 他一想到这个 就受不了， 于是他和我达成了一项协议， 用他的女友换取我的夹克。 他可不那么 聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didnt dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有， 也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。 她拥有合适 的家庭背景， 足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。 如果我能够让我所申请的 顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、 谈吐优雅的另一半， 我就很有 可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 Radiant she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her well-spoken. “光彩照人”，她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得 “谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. What are we going to talk about? she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后， 我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古 老的大橡树下。 我的想法有些怪异。 而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区， 我觉 得它会使人的心情变轻松。 我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。 “我们要谈些什么？”她问道。 5 Logic. “逻辑学。” 6 C
