The Must—Try Cheese
垂涎欲滴品奶酪
——选自《疯狂英语57》
Cheese is one of the earliest man-made foods, with a history dating back more than 5,000 years. It’s enjoyed almost everywhere from remote villages high in the mountains to the tables of the finest restaurants.
If you want to enjoy the world’s best 1)cheddar, then look no further than the beautiful county of Somerset in southwest England where this famous cheese first originated. Not far from Wincanton are two farms that produce cheddar in the traditional way. These are run by dairy farmers Jamie Montgomery and Stephen Keene. The Keene family have been making cheese at Morhays Farm for over a hundred years. So what makes Keene’s cheddar so special? All the cheese on this farm is made by hand, the traditional way, using only raw milk.
Stephen: Our argument is that we’ve done exactly what we’ve always done. I mean, no one heard of 2)pasteurisation before. If you pasteurise, you’re killing off some of what’s in the milk and that’s partly what gives some of the flavours to our products. So why kill off what you need?
Despite pressure to pasteurise his milk, Stephen now sells half his production to supermarkets in the UK, a sure sign that demand for quality and flavour is returning to the market.
Another name long 3)associated with traditional cheddar is Montgomery. And it seems only fitting, considering its reputation, that it’s made on a farm beneath the foot of a large flat-topped hill. Jamie insists on using raw milk and natural animal 4)rennet.
Stephen: One tale was that someone hung some chee...some milk up in a leather bag, it was probably a 5)bladder or whatever, and next day they realized that it 6)curdled and they thought, “well this looks interesting.” They kept it a bit longer and it got harder, and I mean whether that’s just true or whether it’s 7)old wives?tale or not I don’t know, and the story is that it started, happened actually in Cheddar, which is in Somerset. That’s...where the name come from.
When cheese is made by hand the old fashioned way, it varies every day and a regular check is essential to ensure good quality cheeses with plenty of flavour. To help with the grading, Jamie is joined once a month by Randolph Hodgson of Neal’s Yard Dairy fame, a champion of British cheese.
Randolph: It’s all there, it’s in colour, you’ve got all the components and the sort of mis...8)misapprehension about cheese that the older the better...and it’s not like that. It’s more like a, you know, if you judge a 9)vintage wine, there’s an ideal drinking time and then after that it loses. It’s exactly the same thing, except here the vintage is every day so every day’s cheese is different. I mean you can explain that to people ‘til you’re blue in the face. Until they taste it you don’t ever get that across.
These two hold tasting sessions that can last for three to four hours, as all the cheese 10)batches from the previous months are tested. Every batch of cheese is different and each is checked for 11)texture, smell, and most importantly, flavour.
Cheddar may be one of the world’s most popular cheeses, but sadly, all too often, it’s a predictable, boring, mass-produced cheese made in large blocks and matured under 12)vacuum before being sold in supermarkets. The very best cheddar is still made on the farm, preferably from raw milk, and it’s a true reflection of the cheesemaker’s art. Every batch is different, which is why they’re so interesting to work with. Hand-made farm cheddar is now very rare in England and there are just a few producers left making this type of cheese the traditional way.
垂涎欲滴品奶酪

奶酪出现已逾五千年，是人类最早的人造食品之一。不管在深山的偏远村落，或是在高级餐厅里皆被享用。
Written by Alice Meynell Read by Judi Dench
I MUST not think of 2)thee; and, tired yet strong,
I 3)shun the thought that 4)lurks in all delight—
The thought of thee—and in the blue heaven’s height,
And in the sweetest passage of a song.
Oh, just beyond the fairest thoughts that 5)throng
This breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright;
But it must never, never come in sight;
I must stop 6)short of thee the whole day long.
But when sleep comes to close each difficult day,
When night gives pause to the long watch I keep,
And all my 7)bonds I needs must loose apart,
Must 8)doff my will as 9)raiment 10)laid away, —
With the first dream that comes with the first sleep
I run, I run, I am gather’d to 11)thy heart.

赏析：
艾丽斯·梅内尔(Alice Meynell, 1847-1922)，英国诗人、作家、妇女参政主义者，颇为王尔德（Oscar Wilde）赏识。她的第一部诗集名为《序曲》。婚后的梅内尔虽然是八个孩子的母亲，但仍热衷于文学活动——她在其丈夫的出版社进行编辑工作的同时，还坚持进行个人诗歌和散文创作。梅内尔还是西赛莉·汉密顿（Cicely Hamilton）创立的“女作家参政权联盟”（Women Writers’ Suffrage League）的主要成员（该组织在1908到1919年间非常活跃）。
梅内尔曾爱上一位接受她入教的天主教牧师，后来自知这份爱情不可能发展而绝交。
警惕拒绝与彷徨却步的表面下，暗藏着的却可能是强烈欣悦、真诚迫切的情思。这是否情感世界的普遍法则？诗人用潜藏与显露、白昼与黑夜、醒时与梦境的对比结构，将情感如波浪般层层推进。我们本以为，深藏不露的情思，最终会导向叹息绝望。然而黑夜降临、梦境开启的那一刻，我们才发现，我们见到的是一位“在歌声中开花，在激流中翻滚”（聂鲁达《绝望的歌》）的爱人的形象。
这是蓝天高处的爱，也是石头开花的爱；这种不可能之中的可能，辗转忧叹中的执守坚定，是最为真诚动人的高贵之爱。
不可思念你，我虽疲累却坚持，
逃避那潜藏于所有喜悦的情思——
对你的想念——在蓝天高处，
在歌曲最甜蜜的一节里。
啊，在这美好的思忆聚拢之际，
想你的心潜伏而流晖；
但是它万万不可显露；
我须终日警惕，却步于你的周围。
然而，当睡眠来结束每个艰难的白昼，
当黑夜让我长久的窥探稍做停息之时，
我得解开一切的束缚，
该得把坚守的意志像收藏的衣裳般脱下，——
酣然入睡，梦乡初启的一刹，载欣载奔，我已迎上你的心头。
That song, "Hound Dog," was one of
Elvis Presley's most popular records. It sold five-million copies
in 1956. Music industry experts say more than one-thousand-million
of Elvis's recordings have sold throughout the world. He was a
success in many different kinds of music-popular, country,
religious, and rhythm-and-blues.
猫王普雷斯利最出名的唱片之一是《猎狗》。1956年该唱片的销售量达500万张。唱片业的专家说，普雷斯利的唱片在全世界的销量超过10亿张。他在流行音乐、乡村音乐、宗教音乐以及节奏布鲁斯音乐等多种不同的音乐方面都有建树。
Elvis Presley won many awards from nations all over the world, yet
he did not record in any language other than English. He never
performed outside the United States, except for three shows in
Canada. Yet, his recordings and films have been, and are still,
enjoyed by people all over the world.
猫王普雷斯利曾获得世界上许多国家的奖项，但是他没有灌录过除英语以外其他语言的唱片。除了在加拿大的三次演出以外，他没有到美国以外的其他国家演出过。不过，他的唱片和电影至今仍然为世界各地人们所喜爱。
Elvis Aaron Presley was born in the southern town of Tupelo,
Mississippi on January 8th, 1935. His family was extremely poor.
During his childhood, he sang in church with his parents. He also
listened to music that influenced his later singing, including
country, rhythm-and-blues, and religious music. Elvis and his
family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when he was thirteen. After high
school, he had several jobs, including driving a truck. In 1953, he
made his first recording of this song, "My Happiness."
猫王普雷斯利1935年1月8日出生于密西西比州南部的图佩洛镇。他家境极其贫困。孩提时代，他与父母一起在教堂里唱歌。他也倾听乡村音乐、节奏布鲁斯音乐及宗教音乐等多种音乐，这些音乐对他后来的歌唱有一定的影响。13岁那年，普雷斯利和他的家人移居田纳西州的孟菲斯。中学毕业后他做过几种工作，其中包括开卡车。1953年，他灌录了他第一张唱片《我的幸福》。
By the middle of the 1950's, Elvis Presley was known around the
world as the young man who moved his hips in a sexual way as he
sang rock and roll music. Many adults said he and his music were
bad influences on young people. Young women loved him. Huge crowds
attended his performances. He made his first movie in 1956. It was
"Love Me Tender." The title song was a big hit.
至20世纪50年代中期，猫王普雷斯利作为一个演唱摇滚音乐时性感地扭臀的年轻人而举世闻名。许多成年人说，他和他的音乐对年轻人有很坏的影响。少女们都爱上了他，大群的人看他的表演。1956年他首演电影，电影名字叫《温柔爱我》，其主题歌曲名震一时。
Elvis Presley was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood for a
number of years in the 1950's. He acted in thirty-one movies. In
1958, just as he finished making the movie "King Creole," Elvis
received notice that he had to serve in the United States Army. He
was stationed in Germany where he lived in a large house and dated
a lot of beautiful women. One young girl he met in Germany was
Pricilla Beaulieu, the daughter of an army officer. She was
fourteen years old. Later, after Elvis had finished his army
service, she came to live with him in Memphis. They married in
1967, when she was twenty-one years old. He was thirty-two. They
became parents nine months later of a baby girl, Lisa Marie.
20世纪50年代，猫王普雷斯利是好莱坞在数年中支付薪金最高的演员之一。他演过31部电影。1958年，正当他演罢电影《克里奥尔王》的时候，他接到通知必须在美国军队中服役。他驻扎在德国，住在一座大屋子里，与许多漂亮的女人约会。他在德国遇见一位名叫普丽西拉·玻利欧的年轻姑娘，她是一位陆军军官的女儿，当时14岁。后来，当普雷斯利服役完毕，她就跟着他来到孟菲斯居住。他们在1967年结婚，当时她21岁，他32岁。九个月后，他们生了一个女儿，取名丽莎·玛丽。
Elvis Presley won three of the music industry's highest award, the
Grammy. He received the first one in 1
Every Tuesday evening members of Tsimshian
Haayyuk gather at Daybreak Star, a native American community and
arts center in Seattle. Three years ago, when they began, they
numbered half a dozen. Today, as many as fifty dancers, singers and
drummers, spanning three generations, come to participate.
每个星期二晚上，琴仙好乐客的成员就在美国西雅图的一个土著社区和艺术中心——黎明之星聚会。三年前他们刚开始的时候只有六人，可现在参加活动的已经有多达五十个舞者、歌手和鼓手了，年龄也跨了三代人。
And they own it all to David Boxely. Boxley is
an internationally known artist, whose carved totem poles can be
found in public and private collections from Walt Disney World to
Japan. But on Tuesday evenings Mr. Boxley is a drummer,
choreographer, singer and songwriter, because very few of the
Tsimshians?original songs have survived.
他们把这一切归功于戴维·鲍克斯利。
鲍克斯利是一位国际知名的艺术家，他雕刻的图腾柱可以在从迪斯尼世界直到日本的公共或私人收藏中见到。但到了星期二的晚上，鲍克斯利先生就成了一位鼓手、舞蹈指导、歌手和作曲者，因为琴仙族原始的歌曲能得以传世的很少。
Like "The Gathering" which tells how the four Tsimshian clans got
their crests, as dancers move across the floor in the image of
various animals.
例如《集会》一曲唱的就是琴仙族的四个宗族如何获得他们的冠饰，唱的时候舞蹈者以各种动物的形象在地板上翩翩而过。
"The four clans of our people are: the eagle, the raven, the wolf
and the killer whale. Everybody belongs to one. You are what your
mother is. Everybody, you know, if your mom is a killer whale, then
that's what you are. In the old days it controlled marriage and
ownership of fishing grounds or burial grounds or stuff like
that."
“我们族的四大宗族是鹰、乌鸦、狼、和杀人鲸，每个人都属于其中的一支，视乎母亲所属而定，如果你母亲是杀人鲸族的，那么你也是。过去，宗族主宰着婚姻、捕鱼区或墓地的所有权及诸如此类的事情。”
The Tsimshians were originally from an area along the Pacific Coast
that is now British Columbia, Canada, but many of them moved to
Alaska in the 1890s. Missionaries and the US and Canadian
governments tried to destroy Tsimshian culture and language, but
some of the people managed to preserve the old ways, including Mr.
Boxley's grandparents, who raised him in Metlakatla, Alaska. They
taught him everything he knows about his culture. Now he is sharing
that knowledge with others.
琴仙族最早聚居在今为加拿大英属哥伦比亚省的太平洋沿岸地区，但在十九世纪九十年代许多人搬去了阿拉斯加。传教士以及美、加两国政府试图毁灭琴仙族的文化和语言，但有些族人成功地将古老的生活方式保留了下来，这些人之中就包括鲍克斯利先生的祖父母。他们在阿拉斯加的梅特拉卡特拉将他抚养成人，他们把所知的关于自己文化的一切都教给他。现在他正与别人分享着这些知识。
The children are learning on their own by dancing and singing along
with their parents and elders. Tsimshian Haayyuk, which means
"spirit of the Tsimshian," is very much a family endeavor. Founder
and artistic director David Boxley says nearly all of the drummers
and dancers belong to four families. And for those who are on their
own, the group has become a family.
孩子们通过和他们的父母与长辈一起跳舞唱歌让自己学习这一切。琴仙好乐客的意思是“琴仙族之魂”，这一团体在很大程度上是家族经营的。创始人和艺术指导戴维·鲍克斯利说几乎所有的鼓手和舞者来自四个家族，而对剩下的那些人来说，团体成了他们的家。
Teaching his own people about their culture is just one of the
missions of David Boxley. He also wants to share his culture with
the rest of the world. Tsimshian Haayyuk has already earned a
reputation along the Pacific Northwest Coast, where its
performances are in demand. Word is beginning to spread even
further. This past summer, the group traveled halfway across the
United States to
