Paradise Lost
• The poem goes on to tell how Satan took revenge by tempting Adam and Eve, the first human beings created by God, to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge against God’s instructions. For their disobedience, Adam and Eve were driven out of Paradise. They were sorry for what they had done and prayed to God. In the last book they were given the hope for redemption. The poem ended with Adam and Eve walking away from Paradise, hand in hand, and the gates of Eden were closed behind them.

HamletQuestion1:Why is sleep so frightening, according to Hamlet, since it can “end” the heartache and the thousand natural shocks”?Ans werDeath means the end of life, you may go to or unknown world and you can’t comeback,. If he dies, Hamlet 's can't r ealize his will. Though “sleep” can end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks, it is a state of mind. Hamlet didn’t know at all. He is frightened by the possible suffering in the long “dream”. He can’t predict what will happen in the sleep, may be good may be evil. (by Yang Shuo)Because “to sleep-perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub! For in the sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause. There is the respect that makes calamity of so long life.”(by Du Yabing)Question2: Why would people rather bear all the sufferings of the world instead of choosing death to get rid of them, according to Hamlet?Ans werI think this answer may be appropriate. But that the dread of something after death- the undiscovered country, from whose bourn No traveler returns-puzzles the will. (by Yang Shuo)Because people hold the same idea "to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death-the undiscover’d country, form whose bourn no traveler returns-puzzle the will, and make us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of?”People also are frightened by the myths in another world after death.(by Du Yabing)Question3:What, after all, makes people lose their determination to take action? Please explain in relation to the so-called hesitation of Hamlet.Ans werThey don’t know the result after their taking the action. Such as Hamlet, he doesn’t know what would happen if he kills his uncle or kills himself . So Hamlet was hesitated. (by Yang Shuo)“thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus native hue of resolution is sicklied o ver with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pitch and moment with this regard their current turn awry and lose the name of action." It is the fear for the unknown world and the lake of confidence for the future make people loose determination to take action. But in my opinion Hamlet’s hesitation should be concerned from a different point of view. Hamlet is a true man. He always considered for his country and the people, maybe his hesitation due to the meditation on death and the fear of unknown world after death, but the main reason lies in his all-round consideration for his nation. He wants to change the dark existing world but it is beyond his ability, he has no idea what he should do. He knows his death can’t solve the problems deeply rooted in the society. So he hesitated about what he should do as the prince of Demark. His revenge is not everything for him. And he clearly knows that the sudden death of king may arise some disorders in the country. Thus he confused about his action.The Flea1. Why does the poet say that "this cannot be said a sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead"?The speaker tells his beloved to look at the flea before them and to note "how little" is that thing that she denies him. For the flea, he says, has sucked first his blood, then her blood, sothat now, inside the flea, they are mingled; and that mingling cannot be called "sin, or s hame, or loss of maidenhead." The flea has joined them together in a way that, "alas, is more than we would do."2. What do you think is the addressee's parents' attitude toward the poet's wooing?The addressee's parents' attitude are against him. (...Though parents grudge...)3. What is the real purpose of the poet to say that in killing the flea "thou" are actually killing three lives?He compares the killing of the flea to murder. It would be “three sins in killing three” (l. 18) since he and his lover would be killed within the flea if she were to follow her natural tendency to dispose of the insect. He even states that the act of killing the flea would be “sacrilege”. This is a term that is generally applied to acts that go against religion. If the lover denies the fact that their blood, and therefore their lives, are contained within the flea, it is similar to committing an irreligious act. This would seem to make the reverse, to acknowledge their closeness within the flea, compatible with religion. To acknowledge this closeness is also to acknowledge that it is allowable, which could lead to the conclusion that Donne wishes his lover to arrive at: she should give in to his desires because there is nothing wrong with the intimate mingling of two people.1.Mark: notice 注意2.Me it sucked first: It sucked me first sucked: 吮吸3.mingled: 混合，融合4.woo: 求爱5.pampered swells: Pregnancy 指怀孕6.and this, alas, is more than we would do; we, alas, don’t dare to hope for this consummation of our love, nevertheless the flee accepts it.7.nay more than married are: we enjoy greater pleasures than those we can after marriage. Nay: 不仅如此，而且8.grudge: 嫉妒；不愿给9.jet: 指他们现在滔滔不绝的谈话e: habit 习俗势力11.apt: 有…倾向的12.sacriledge: 亵渎；渎圣13.three sins in killing three; the lover will commit three sins in killing his or her lover, the flea and their baby which was not yet born.14.yields to me: 屈从于我，指诗中情人答应了“我”的要求。

牛津上海版英语中考复习语法阅读Lesson1讲义
L1Part1 Intensive ReadingCan ChatGPT Help Deliver Bad News?As an oncologist(肿瘤科医生),I've delivered bad news countless times. It's always hard to find the right words.One memory stays with me to this day. I was one of the trainees at a munication skills program. Professional actors came to us at various stages of their “illness." In small groups, we learned how to deliver bad news to them.On the final day, there was an exam. My “patient” was a middleaged man with terminal cancer(晚期癌).He had tried many different treatments, but nothing had worked. “I got this," I thought. Break the news gently but honestly to avoid confusion. Pause and look at him. “I can see that this must be difficult for you," I began. “I, too,wish things were different."Above all, don ’t be clever. Just be honest and kind. The man started crying. My pulse (脉) quickened.“I'm sorry.“ But I have so much to live for ...”We could try other treatments elsewhere. Stop, I can't say that.Silence. plete silence.“And the holiday with my grand kids ...”Take this opportunity. Give him hope. Ask what he might do on the holiday.The learning was there, but I was stuck for words. Thank God, l thought, the man wasn’t really sick.The feedback (反馈意见) was terrible. From the moment he met me, my “patient”felt bad because of my uneasiness (优虑不安).“How easy it is to destroy the human spirit (精神)!" I thought. Good munication is key to patient satisfaction. However, it’s surprising how little time is spent teaching doctors how to do it well.Training programs are rare.But now we have ChatGPT. Will it help? To find out, I did a little experiment. “I'm an oncologist. Help me deliver bad news,” I typed in. “ What can I get wrong with my munication? I need tips on how to support my patients who are receiving bad news.” The answers were detailed and helpful. But my favorite line was, “Before we go on, I want to make sure you're fortable having this conversation now. Make sure to stop me. We can take this at your pace(节奏).”I was embarrassed. I couldn’t remember the last time I had said those words.Sure, ChatGPT won 't offer a gentle touch or sense the tears. And some might warn against relying on it for human jobs. But until there are professional programs for all young doctors to learn how to deliver bad news, I’ll tell them to use ChatGPT' in times of need.Part2 Choose1. Tom is not at school.

It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion (转化) of other sources of energy, l 1 coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources.

英国文学史及选读 名词解释
Renaissance: Renaissance or the birth of letters is an intellectual movement. Its two features are a thirsting curiosity for the classical literature and the keen interest in the activities of humanity. Humanism is the key-note of the Renaissance.
Part One
①Beowulf: The national heroic epic of the English people. It has over 3,000 lines. It describes the battles between the two monsters and Beowulf, who won the battle finally and dead for the fatal wound. The poem ends with the funeral of the hero. The most striking feature in its poetical form is the use if alliteration. Other features of it are the use of metaphors(暗喻) and of understatements(含蓄).
Edmund Spenser埃德蒙?斯宾塞(莎翁之前最杰出的英国诗人)：The poet’s poet of the period was ES who was buried beside Chaucer in Westminster Abbey. ES has held his position as a model of poetical art among the Renaissance English poets, and his influence can be traced in the works of Milton, Shelley, and Keats. ES is the first master to make that language the natural music of his poetic effusions(感情的流露). His sonnets in Amoretti, together with Sidney’s Astrophel and Stella and Shakespeare’s sonnets ,are the most famous sonnet sequences of the Elizabeth Age.
John Milton
of Princes himself, when here, went through his town to his own country, and that upon fair day, too .
A. John Bunyan: The Pilgrim’s Progress. B. Jesus Christ. C. John Bunyan is talking about vanity, one of the evils of human life. The idea that everybody is potentially vain and vanity is something that the “world” encourages, and that is takes courage and effort to get rid of one of vanity. Even Jesus Christ(the Prince of Princes) was troubled by vanity, but he stood the test and conquered it. Thus Christians should do like Christ if they wish to reach the kingdom of God.
Paradise lost(简介)
约翰·弥尔顿的英文诗（John Milton,1608～1674）诗人、政论家，民主斗士。
弥尔顿是清教徒文学的代表，他的一生都在为运动而奋斗，代表作《失乐园》是和《荷马史诗》、《》并称为西方三大诗歌。
Paradise Lost译为“”。
作品介绍《失乐园》（Paradise Lost），全文12卷，以一般的磅礴气势揭示了人的与。
诗中叛逆天使，因为反抗上帝的权威被打入地狱，却仍不悔改，，为复仇寻至。
与受被撒旦附身的蛇的引诱，偷吃了明令禁吃的分辨善恶的树上的果子。
最终，撒旦及其同伙遭谴全变成了蛇，亚当与夏娃被逐出了伊甸园。
该诗体现了诗人追求的崇高精神，是、思想史上的一部极重要的作品。
“失乐园”的由来是从《》中所诉的故事中得来的：亚当和夏娃偷食禁果以后，世界便为此颠倒。
原来温暖如春的天空中盘旋着背离上帝的寒流，凉风一阵紧似一阵地吹过来，世间的一切都开始变得紊乱而不和谐。
道分阴阳，动静相摩，高下相克。
人失去了天真烂漫、无忧无虑的，注定要经历酸甜苦辣的洗礼，体验喜怒哀乐的无常。
智慧是人类脱离自然界的标志，也是人类苦闷和不安的根源。
上帝在园中行走，亚当和夏娃听见他的脚步声。
此时他们的心与上帝有了罅隙，出于负罪感，他们开始在树林中躲避上帝。
上帝对人的失落发出了痛切的呼唤：“亚当，你在那里人哪，你在哪里”这呼唤中包涵着上帝对人犯罪堕落，失掉了赐给人原初的绝对完美的忧伤与失望，又包涵着对人认罪归来，恢复神性的期待。
然而在上帝一步紧似一步的追问面前，亚当夏娃，夏娃委罪于蛇。
这就是上帝对人类最初的失望与忧伤，这就是人类背离上帝的最初堕落与痛苦。
亚当对上帝说：“我在园中听见您的声音，就害怕，因为我赤身露体，我便藏了起来。
”“谁告诉你赤身露体的呢莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子么！”上帝知道他已背离了自己的意志，愤怒地质问。
亚当辩解说：“您所赐给我与我同居的女人把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。
”上帝回顾夏娃，问她：“你都干了些什么呢”夏娃说：“那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。

John_Milton
LYCIDAS
It is composed for a collection of elegies for the death of Milton’s friend named Edward King. With this sense of loss, Milton questions why the just and good person should suffer. A taste of requiring ,rage ,sorrow could be left. Finally, the consolation or the comfort could be met in art. The climax of this poem is the angry attack on the corrupted clergy.
YET once more O ye laurels and once moreYe myrtles brown with ivy never sere
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.
Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear Compels me to disturb your season due： For Lycidas is dead dead ere his prime
Young Lycidas and hath not left his peer.
Who would not sing for Lycidas？ he knew Himself to sing and build the lofty rhyme. He must not float upon his watery bier Unwept and welter to the parching wind Without the meed of some melodious tear. Begin then Sisters of the sacred well That from beneath the seat of Jove doth spring； Begin and somewhat loudly sweep the string.

十六年前的回忆大概内容英语作文
十六年前的回忆大概内容英语作文Memories of Sixteen Years Past.In the tapestry of life, memories are the vibrant threads that weave together the intricate patterns of our past, present, and future. They are the echoes of laughter and tears, the whispers of forgotten dreams, and the lingering fragrances of cherished moments.As I embark on a journey into the recesses of my mind, I am transported back in time, to a chapter etched vividly upon my soul—the memories of sixteen years past. It was a time of innocence, wonder, and boundless possibilities.The world was a kaleidoscope of colors, and every day was an adventure waiting to be discovered. My heart beat with an irrepressible rhythm, eager to embrace the unknown.I would spend countless hours roaming through the sprawling meadows behind my home, lost in a world of make-believe. The towering trees were my confidants, and the rustlingleaves whispered secrets only they could reveal.The air was filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers, and the gentle breeze carried the promise of summer. I would lie down on the soft grass, gazing up at the vast expanse of blue above me. The clouds drifted lazily by, taking on whimsical shapes that ignited my imagination.In those tranquil moments, I felt a profound connection to the natural world. The birdsong became a symphony, and the gentle sway of the trees seemed to mirror the rhythm of my own heart. It was as if the universe was speaking to me, whispering words of encouragement and reassurance.As the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the meadow, I would make my way home. The warm glow of the golden hour enveloped the world in a soft embrace, casting a magical spell over everything it touched. The air grew heavy with the scent of honeysuckle, and the stars twinkled like celestial fireflies.My grandmother, a kind and loving soul, would greet meat the door with a warm smile and a plate of freshly baked cookies. The aroma of vanilla and cinnamon filled the house, mingling with the fading light of day. We would sittogether by the fireplace, sharing stories and laughter.Her stories were like fairy tales, filled with enchanted forests, brave knights, and mischievous creatures. She spoke of a world where anything was possible, where dreams could take flight and the impossible became reality. As I listened to her tales, I felt a sense of wonder andawe that filled me with a deep longing for adventure.In the evenings, I would often retreat to my bedroom, a sanctuary of quiet contemplation. The moonlight streaming through the window cast ethereal shadows on the walls, creating an atmosphere of mystery and enchantment. I would lie in bed for hours, lost in thought.My mind would race with ideas and dreams. I imagined myself as a fearless explorer, discovering uncharted lands and unraveling ancient secrets. I envisioned myself as a writer, crafting words that could inspire and uplift others.The possibilities seemed endless, and I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and anticipation for the future.As the years passed, those childhood memories remained with me as a touchstone of hope and inspiration. They reminded me of the boundless potential within me, the power of imagination, and the importance of embracing the wonder and joy that life has to offer.Today, as I look back on those sixteen years past, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. Those memories have shaped the person I am today, instilling in me a love of nature, a thirst for knowledge, and an unyielding belief in the human spirit.May we all cherish the memories of our past, for they are the threads that connect us to who we are and who we have the potential to become.。

She is the pretty-witted aristocrat young girl. She is enthusiasm and graceful; resourceful and humorous; wealthy and beautiful. She is the perfect female who glitters the humanism ideal in her life. This is Portia.A. the Essential Nature of PortiaAt the beginning of the play, however, we do not see Portia’s potential for initiative and resourcefulness, as she is a near prisoner, feeling herself absolutely bound to follow her father’s dying wishes. This open appearance, however, proves to be a revealing introduction to Portia, who emerges as that rarest of combinations--a free spirit who abides rigidly by rules. When Bassanio asks Belmont to choose his chest, she proves herself to be highly resourceful, begging the man she loves to stay a while before picking a chest, and finding loophole in t he will’s provision that we never thought possible. Also, in her defeat of Shylock, she prevails by applying a more rigid standard than Shylock, agreeing that he can get a pound of flesh, but adding that it does not to allow for any loss of blood. Anybody can break the rules, but Portia’s effectiveness comes from her ability to make the law work for her. After depriving Bassanio of his ring, she stops the prank before it goes far, and she even insinuates that she has been unfaithful. These entire can proves Portia’s wit, resource, and humorB. The Humanism Spirit Shown by PortiaPortia is the main character in this play. She embodies the virtues that are typical for Shakespeare’s heroines. Being a wealth young girl, she is beautiful, gentle and tender, and full of stratagems. She lives in Belmont--a peaceful world, and recruits the newest ideological trends. So, her mind is equipped by humanism. She is a cute girl, even her father’s behest; she would like to abide by. Humanism has several contents. One of them is the Rationalism object to Obscurantism. It advocates treasuring people intelligent. And it is said the most reason of people is dignity depending on the power of rational. Rational is human’s nature, science is the source of joyful. So, when Bassanio arrives, Portia use her resourceful mind to call his attention to pick the correct chest.Portia--a Self-conscious FemalePortia is a beautiful, dignity and wealth girl. And the most important thing is she obtains strongly female self-consciousness. She knows what is she needs, and try her best to pursue. She has an insight into the world which she exists—the code of ethics, the value…, she knows what’s the role she plays. So, she can vacillate freely in the male society, gets her goal and not to go against the rules. In this play, it seems she just does two things: help her to choose a husband; help her husband to rescue Antonio. Both of them have fully demonstrated her intelligence, and reveal her anti-tradition figure. It’s the time when she chooses her husband to show her ability to suit male society. Portia not only has the female self-consciousness, but also understands thoroughly what is the status and role woman obtains in male society.The Importance of Obedience to GodThe first words of Parad ise Lost state that the poem’s main theme will be “Man’s first Disobedience.” Milton narrates the story of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, explains how and why it happens, and places the story within the larger context of Satan’s rebellion and Jesus’ resurrec tion. Raphael tells Adam about Satan’s disobedience in an effort to give him a firm grasp of the threat that Satan and humankind’s disobedience poses. In essence, Paradise Lost presents two moral paths that one can take after disobedience: the downward spiral of increasing sin and degradation, represented by Satan, and the road to redemption, represented by Adam and Eve.While Adam and Eve are the first humans to disobey God, Satan is the first of all God’s creation to disobey. His decision to rebel comes only from himself—he was not persuaded or provoked by others. Also, his decision to continue to disobey God after his fall into Hell ensures that God will not forgive him. Adam and Eve, on the other hand, decide to repent for their sins and seek forgiveness. Unlike Satan, Adam and Eve understand that their disobedience to God does not know that their disobedience will be corrected through generations of toil on Earth. This path is obviously the correct one to take: the visions in Books XI and XII demonstrate that obedience to God, even after repeated falls, can lead to humankind’s salvation.“Paradise Lost” is Minton’s masterpiece .It is a long epic in 12 books, written in blank verse. The story were taken from the Old Testament: the creation of the earth and Adam and Eve, the fallen angels in hell plotting against God, Satan’s temptation of Eve, and the departure of Adam and Eve from Eden .Satan and his followers are banished from heaven and driven into hell, but even here in hell, mist flames and poisonous fumes, Satan and his adherents are not discouraged. The poem ,as we are told at the outset, was “to justify the ways of God to man”,ie to advocate submission to the Alm ighty. The epic shows the writer’s misery after the Restoration, and his determination for revolution. The style of the epic is grand, which is the result of his life-long classical and biblical study."Paradise Lost" is John Milton's poem about the fall of Man from the Garden of Eden.It begins with casting the rebellious angels, led by Satan, from heaven into hell,where Satan begins his next plan, to ruin God's most precious creation (man).The poem is based almost entirely on Genesis. However, Milton depicts Satan in amuch better light than would be expected. At the same time, there is little doubt leftthat obedience to God is important, and the reason Satan continues to fail is becausehe fails to realize both God's strength and compassion.One of the most important things to recognize in "Paradise Lost" is how Satan is humanized. This is probably to point to humanity's tendency to err, and to draw somesort of sympathy for the devil. As the person above me points out, though, Milton's overriding point is that obedience to God is imperative. The sympathetic aspects of Satan, however, is one of the most significant achievements of this work.。

美国字故事 good
美国字的故事万事O.K. (EVERYTHING IS "OKAY")THE word "OKAY" is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts do not agree on where it came from.Some say it came from the Indian peoples. When Europeans first came to the Americas they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were well developed.One tribe especially had a well developed language. This was the Chocktaw tribe. They were farmers and fishermen who lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, Chocktaw leaders discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to the wisdom of the chief.He heard the different proposals, often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, "Okeh," meaning "It is so."The Indian languages have given many words to English. Twenty four of the American states, almost half-have Indian names-Oklahoma, the Dakotas, Idaho, Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee, to name a few. And the names of many rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.Nevertheless, there are many who dispute the idea that "okay" came from the Indians. Some say that President Andrew Jackson first used the word "okay." Others claim the word was invented by John Jacob Astor, a fur trader of the late 1700's who became one of the world's richest men. Still others say a poor railroad clerk made up this word. His name was Obadiah Kelly and he put his initials, O.K., on each package, people gave him to ship by train.So it goes; each story sounds reasonable and official.But perhaps the most believable explanation is that the word "okay" was invented by a political organization in the 1800's.Martin Van Buren was running for President. A group of people organized a club to support him. They called their political organization the "Okay Club." The letters "o" and "k" were taken from the name of Van Buren's home town, the place where he was born, Old Kinderhook, New York.There is one thing about "okay" that the experts do agree on: that the word is pure American and that it has spread to almost every country on earth.There is something about the word that appeals to peoples of every language. Yet, here in America it is used mostly in speech, not in serious writing. Serious writers would rather use "agree," "assent," "approve," "confirm" and so on.In recent times, "okay" has been given an official place in the English language.But it will be a long time before Americans will officially accept two expressions that come from "okay." These are "oke" and "okeydoke."注解：1.e xpert专家2.I ndian peoples印第安各族3.A mericas南、北美洲4.w ell developed相当进化的5.C hocktaw tribe查克多族6.M ississippi V alley密西西比河谷7.t ribal chief酋长8.c ircle圆圈9.I t is so.就是如此。

The story were taken from the Old Testament: the creation of the earth and Adam and Eve, the fallen angels in hell plotting against God, Satan’s temptation of Eve, and the departure of Adam and Eve from Eden . Satan and his followers are banished from heaven and driven into hell, but even here in hell, amidst flames and poisonous fumes, Satan and his adherents are not discouraged. They chooses Eden where live Adam and Eve, who are allowed by God to enjoy the supreme beauties of Paradise, provides they do not eat the fruit of the Tree of the Konwledge of Good and Evil, for their battlefield. God learns of his intention and sends God’s angels to warn Adam and Eve of Satan’s plan.No sooner Satan comes and he persuade Eve to break God’s command.Eve and Adam eat the apple from the forbidden tree.God sees all this,and Adam and Eve are exiled from Paradise and doomed to an erathly life full of hardship and sufferings, to eat bread by “the sweat of the face”. The poem ,as we are told at the outset, was “to justify the ways of God to man”,ie to advocate submission to the Almighty。
