21、Riding a bike and often wearing a blue hat, John Butler, an 84—year—old former farmer from Derbyshire, England, has become a spiritual(精的) guide to a growing number of devoted fans.

Butler, an early supporter of organic farming, is a long—time follower of meditation(冥想) . As part of his spiritual journey, he began recording inspiring messages in the hope of sharing the lessons he’d learned with others.

The peaceful speaking, calming presence, and a voice like a warm glass of milk, in which Butler delivered his plain view of life online, soon struck a chord(引起共鸣) with a rising number of people struggling to free themselves from the day—to—day anxiety caused by COVID—19.

Butler became famous in a 2016 BBC interview. After the interview, he was picked out by members of the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response(ASMR) community as someone worth attention not just for what he said, but for the way in which he said it. Since then, this senior’s popularity has grown.

Having always standing off in a corner by himself in society, Butler was much more surprised by his popularity than anyone else. Before his ongoing video project, Butler said he had never heard of YouTube and had little knowledge of the Internet. But Butler feels lucky to be able to provide a good influence for people just doing their best to deal with modern—day life.

22、I remember the first time I got on a horse. When I was a little boy aged two, my mom agreed to let me take a short ride and that was it! From then on, I drove my parents crazy Begging for a horse.

When I was four, I had Mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days, weeks months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to a friend. I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist had an idea. He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world. He explained I was going to be given an opportunity to work for that. And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mother's ear, "A horse."

I was to get a pony, but I had to live up to my end of the bargain. I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish. I had to answer the phone five times per week, something I had never done before. I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. For a child with Mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing Mount Qomolangma. I did everything that was asked of me and the day came. His name was Sequoia, whom I fell in love with immediately. When I was in Sequoia's presence, I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.

I am a fully participating member of society these days. My horses and I made it through a master’s degree. I may have made it otherwise, but I’m not sure. I feel I owe my life to the horses and I try to give it back to them every day. They have given me the best gift I could ever imagine, my life.

23、   The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S. Poet Laureate (桂冠诗人) Louise Gluck. The prize committee mentioned “her unmistakable poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal”. Being the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993, Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this century, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc.

Gluck’s works include 12 collections of poetry and a couple of volumes of essays on literary writing. “All are characterized by trying hard to achieve clarity. Childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and brothers or sisters is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said. “She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths (神话) and classical themes,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as “masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s fall into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death”.

As a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U.S. Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the extraordinary return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops,” the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.

The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately make any comment about the latest honor for her body of work, which lasts more than half a century. In a recent interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽) of a true artist.

C．She has been awarded Poet Laureate many times.
