英语翻译
1.We flushed a covey of quail under a high clay bank with overhanging brush and I killed two as they went out of sight over the top of the bank.Some of the covey lit in trees,but most of them scattered into brush piles and it was necessary to jump on the ice-coated mounds of brush several times before they would flush.Coming out while you were poised unsteadily on the icy,springy brush they made difficult shooting and I killed two,missed five,and started back pleased to have found a covey close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day.
2.I have thought of going to work,but I am unwilling to admit that I do not know how to use my freedom and have to embrace the flunkydom of a job because I have no resources - in a word,no character.I made an attempt to enlist in the Navy last time I was reclassified,but induction,it seems,is the only channel for aliens.There is nothing to do but wait,or dangle,and grow more and more dispirited.It is perfectly clear to me that I am deteriorating,storing bitterness and spite which eat like acids at my endowment of generosity and good will.But the seven month''s delay is only one of the sources of my harassment.
3.I am painfully aware that academic leaders have themselves too often resorted to strictly economic appeals for support because these seemed easier to explain and justify than the less tangible purposes of learning.We have too often promised more than we could deliver on investments in research,and so have invited disappointed expectations and some disillusion with what education can offer in exchange for its considerable cost.But neither education nor society in general will benefit from a continuing rebuff for these sins.
