He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, a bustling metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. “Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?” she asks. He’s astonished she can’t see them. “Where! Why everywhere(2),” he replies. For though they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished.  Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come(3). As Albert Einstein once said, “Life for the American is always becoming, never being(4)”  《戒备》（The Precaution） 《间谍》（The Spy） 《皮袜子故事集》 《拓荒者》(The Pioneers） 《最后的莫希干人》（The Last of the Mohicans） 《草原》（The Prairie） 《探路者》（The Pathfinder） 《杀鹿人》（The Deer-slayer） 《舵手》(The Pilot） vocabulary metropolis [m?tr?p?l?s]大城市，大都市 improvements 改造的地方 illustrating讲述、描述、阐述 future-mindedness着眼未来的,前瞻性的 unencumbered[?nink?mb?d]没有阻碍的, 不受妨碍的 vantage优势,有利地位 bustling 熙熙攘攘的 形近词误译 classic/classical/class novel: 经典/古典/阶级小说 bewildered/wild:困惑的/疯狂的 trait/strait/traitor: 特征/海峡/叛徒 多义词误译 cousin: 堂表兄妹（表妹） hero: 英雄（男主人公） beauty: 美女（美好的事物） difficult sentences 1)In his classic novel, “The Pioneers”, James, Feminore Cooper has his hero, a land developer,take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. 詹姆斯·尼莫·尔柏在其经典小说《拓荒者》中，记述了主人公—一位土地开发商—带着表妹游览一座他将要建造的城市的情景。 2）Where!
