On the patio of the Stewarts' home the next morning. Philip is drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Ellen comes onto the patio to join him.
Ellen：Good morning, What a wonderful morning! Don't the flowers smell wonderful?
Philip：Good morning，Ellen. Yes, they do. That's why I'm reading my paper and having my coffee on the patio this morning.
[He takes a deep breath to smell the flowers.]Ah, it does smell sweet. How was your school board meeting last night? You must've come home very late.
Ellen：Did you find the sandwich I made for you?
Philip：[He nods yes] Thanks, dear.I was so tired!I didn't even finish it.
Ellen：Philip, I've been working on this special project with the school board, and I'd like your opinion about it.
Philip：What is it?
Philip：[He laughs.]Good luck!
Ellen：Well, I think I may have found a way to do it.
Philip：Tell me about it. I work with families every day, Ellen. I see how people spend their leisure time----young and old.
Ellen：Mostly watching television. Well, that would be OK if, and I repeat, if people took the time to read.
Philip：I couldn't agree with you more.
Ellen：The question is, how do we get them to read more?
Philip：I think you're going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye.
Ellen：I do have an answer, Philip. Or at least I think I do.
Philip：Well, tell me about it.
Ellen：The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project.
Philip：In the home?
Ellen：Yes, in the home. But first in the schoolrooms.
Philip：Hmm, interesting. But how do you plan to do that?
Ellen：By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week----to start with.During that time parents are invited to attend----and to read along with the children----their children.
Philip：It can go beyond the school system, Ellen.
Ellen：Really?
Philip：I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients----mostly kids----would love to read and be read to.
Ellen：You think so?
Philip：I know so.
Ellen：Maybe we can experiment with your patients and see how the plan works.
Philip：I love the idea. Would you work with me on it?
Ellen：I would love to,Philip.[She sits on his lap.]
Philip：And that way, we'll spend more time together,Ellen. We just don't see each other anymore.
Ellen：You and I are very busy these days. This is true. We need to find time to be together more, to do things together
more----you and I. This would be a wonderful way to accomplish that.
Philip：I have a question.
Ellen：Yes?
Philip：What do we read?
Ellen：To the patients in the ward?
Philip：Yes.
Ellen：Well, let's you and I talk about it. What would you like to read to them?
[They think.]
In the hospital a few days later. Philip and Ellen are preparing to read a poem to some sick children in the ward.
Philip：Mrs. Stewart and I will read a poem by Robert Frost.
Ellen：It's called“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”.
Philip：Would you begin, Ellen?
Ellen：All right.“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”by Robert Frost.[She reads the poem.]Whose woods these are I think I
know.His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
Philip：[He reads]My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.
Ellen：He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.
Ellen&Philip：The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
Grandpa：[He enters the children's ward with Robbie.]You two belong on stage! That was wonderful!
Ellen：Grandpa!
Philip：Dad…Robbie. When did you come?
Grandpa：We've been listening to you both. These are lucky kids.
Robbie：Do you enjoy reading together?
Philip：Well, we may read together aloud at home.
Grandpa：You were right, Robbie.
Robbie：[He smiles.]I know.

口语讲解
本课中出现的口语句型：
1.Good morning, What a wonderful morning! Don't the flowers smell wonderful?
多么美好的早上！花儿闻起来好香，不是吗？
相信有这样感觉的人一整天都会感觉到心情舒畅的。那么，每天早上起床的时候说一下这一句吧！有很强的心理暗示作用的哦！
2.Ah, it does smell sweet.
明明是陈述句，却在动词前面再加上助动词，可以起到强调作用。
3.You must've come home very late.
Must have是表示对过去的猜测，而且是肯定的猜测。
4.Philip, I've been working on this special project with the school board, and I'd like your opinion about it.
现在完成进行时，表示从过去到现在一直在做某事，而且接下来可能还会继续。这种时态往往具有感情色彩。
5.I couldn't agree with you more.
这个句型经常用到，从正面上来看，我不能更加同意你了，就是表达非常同意的意思。

美国文化介绍
我们在学英语的过程中，无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们，学习一种语言，不只要学其语言，还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧！
Robert Frost（1874—1963）是美国最著名的诗人之一。他的诗曾四次获得Pulitzer奖。Frost的许多诗是描写乡下农村生活的。他的诗也以富有哲理而著名。他曾说过：他的梦想是写出“几首难被人抛弃的诗”。Frost的最著名的诗包括：“摘苹果之后”，“补墙”，“没有走过的路”以及“雪夜林边小驻”。最后这一首是美国学校中最常研读的诗之一。

[导读]《雪夜林畔小驻》（"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"）是现代英语始终公认的短篇杰作。此诗之难能可贵，在于意境含蓄，
用语天然，而格律严谨。意境则深入浅出，貌似写景，却别有寓意。
这首《雪夜林前小驻》所描写的情景不用解释，但它后面的情趣、哲理、魅力，需要细细品位－－我独自站在树林边沿，里面有一种东西在吸
引我，但不能光听内心世界的召唤，我还要许多世间的约会、责任:森林又暗又深真可羡/但我还要守一些诺言/还要赶多少路才安眠/还要赶多
少路才安眠。
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)
－－Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
[注释]
Queer：Deviating from the expected or normal; strange:奇怪的，不平常的，a queer way of talking（一种奇怪的讲话方式）。告诉大家一个由queer组成的词组，in queer street表示“负债”、“在困难中”等。
Harness：The gear or tackle, other than a yoke, with which a draft animal pulls a vehicle or an implement.挽具：一种与轭不同的用于将驮重动物系在车辆或工具上的马具
Downy：Resembling down:似绒毛的
eg:downy white clouds.
絮状白云
这次给出几个不同版本的译文，比较一下，很有意思哦
雪夜林畔小驻
－－余光中译
想来我认识这座森林，
林主的庄宅就在邻村,
却不会见我在此驻马，
看他林中积雪的美景。
我的小马一定颇惊讶：
四望不见有什么农家，
偏是一年最暗的黄昏，
寒林和冰湖之间停下。
它摇一摇身上的串铃，
问我这地方该不该停。
此外只有轻风拂雪片，
再也听不见其他声音。
森林又暗又深真可羡，
但我还要守一些诺言，
还要赶多少路才安眠，
还要赶多少路才安眠。
雪夜在林边
－－京人译
我不会猜错谁是这林子的主人，
但他的家却远在那边的孤村。
他不会想到，我竟在这里停马，
只为看那树林里面落雪纷纷。
我那小马定有点诧异，
为何在这里停下，悄无人迹。
这边是树林，那边是冰冻的湖，
又是一年里最黑的夜，夜黑如漆。
他摇了下铃铛，送来个声响，
似乎问我有什么异常。
其他的声音，只有微风，
还有那漫天的雪花，沙沙地落在脚旁。
静谧的树林，深邃幽暗，
我虽向往，但已有约在先。
入睡之前仍然路程迢迢，
入睡之前，仍然路程漫漫。
雪夜林边小立
－－飞白译
我想我认识树林的主人
他家住在林边的农村；
他不会看见我暂停此地，
欣赏他披上雪装的树林。
我的小马准抱着个疑团：
干嘛停在这儿，不见人烟，
在一年中最黑的晚上，
停在树林和冰湖之间。
它摇了摇颈上的铃铎，
想问问主人有没有弄错。
除此之外唯一的声音
是风飘绒雪轻轻拂过。
树林真可爱，既深又黑，
但我有许多诺言不能违背，
还要赶多少路才能安睡，
还要赶多少路才能安睡。
雪夜驻马林边
－－ 一个网名“老蛇”朋友的古风版翻译！
知君之林兮
知君之村居
君不知吾来兮
观雪入林棘
骐骥疑惑兮
此处无所驿
林间冰湖兮
岁暗极此夕
辔铃之鸣兮
相问几差异
唯闻寒风冽冽兮
催飞雪压云低
林之幽幽兮
信誓旦旦兮
路漫漫无眠欤
路迢迢无眠矣
