福建师范大学17年8月《英美文学选读》作业考核试题答案材料
1.what does p.b shelley want to express in“ode to the west wind”?答：《西风颂》是英国浪漫主义诗人雪莱的诗作。
全诗共五节，始终围绕作为革命力量象征的西风来加以咏唱。
第一诗节写西风的威力和它的作用，第14行点出破坏者和护持者，这是贯串全诗的两个主题。
第二诗节用云、雨、冰雹、闪电来衬托描写西风的威力；第三诗节写西风作用于波浪；第四诗节写诗人因西风而发生的感慨，诗人向西风说但愿自己也像枯叶被风带走，虽然不像不羁的雨风那样自由自在，也能分得它的一分猛烈的威力；在最后一诗节里，诗人请求西风帮助他扫去暮气，把他的诗句传播到四方，唤醒沉睡的大地。
最末两句“如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”预言革命春天即将来临，给生活在黑夜及困境中的人们带来鼓舞和希望。
诗篇表达了诗人对反动腐朽势力的憎恨，对革命终将胜利和光明未来的热切希望和坚定信念，深刻揭示出新事物必将战胜旧事物的客观规律。
全诗气势雄阔，境界奇丽宏伟，具有浓郁的革命浪漫主义特色，通篇采用了象征、寓意手法，含蕴深远。
2.what does john keats mean by “beauty istruth, truth is beauty” ｆrom his poem “ode on grecian urn”?答：约翰·济慈(JohnKeats,1795～1821)是19世纪初英国文坛上一位杰出的浪漫主义诗人,他的诗以优美动人著称,充满了对人生美丽和短暂的深痛感悟。
济慈一生都特别向往“美”——美丽的人、夜莺、花草、田园、古诗、艺术品、整个想像世界。
“美”是济慈赞美的惟一对象,惟一的更高真理,“寻美”是他生命的核心。
济慈的诗一改当时英国诗坛古板、陈腐的诗风,充分表现了大自然中自然清新的美,完美地体现了西方浪漫主义诗歌的特色,因此,他被誉为是“诗人中的诗人”。
在济慈的作品中最为不朽的当属他的颂歌(odes),其中《希腊古瓮颂》是最著名的一首,整首诗深切地展示了诗人对人世矛盾无奈的情感,蕴含极为丰富复杂。

福师1203考试批次《英美文学选读》复习题及参考答案
教学中心教学中心 专业专业 学号学号 姓名姓名 成绩成绩参考答案： The story takes place in international waters on an ocean going liner sailing from 参考答案： to Y o kohama, Japan on the Pacific ocean. As the war had just ended, it okohama, Japan on the Pacific ocean. As the war had just ended, it San Fracisco, U.S.A to Ywas difficult to get accomodations. Therefore, the narrator had to share a c abin with a total stranger, but he expected him to be one of his own countrymen. Instead, he was deeply shocked to realize it was a chatty Levantine of oriental origin, Mr. Max Kelada, who was not British, but a native of one of the British colonies (he did have a British passport). Although his origin isn't stated precisely, his name suggests Spanish, Portugese, Syrian or even Jewish origin. The narrator mentions Mr. Kelada's "hooked nose", which might imply an antisemitic remark against Jews. The narrator was prepared to dislike Mr. Kelada even before he saw him. When he first entered the cabin, he saw Mr. Kelada's luggage and toilet things that had already been unpacked. The man's name and the sight of his things aroused a strong repulsion in him since he was prejudiced against all non- Britons, feeling superior to them. The irony of the story lies in the fact that the list of Mr. Kelada's "negative" traits presented in the beginning of the story shows an orderly, neat and tidy gentleman. When the narrator met Mr. Kelada, his hatred got even stronger. He abhorred the cultural differences between Kelada and himself. He both detested and despised Mr. Kelada's gestures. Therefore, the description of Kelada is negative and biased. The narrator's prejudice is based on several cultural differences between him and Mr. Kelada: a) A total stranger should address a gentleman with "Mr." and be formal. b) A gentleman shouldn't be pushy. c) A gentleman should be modest. d) A gentleman should keep quiet during meals. e) A gentleman shouldn't be too chatty and argumentative. f) A gentleman shouldn't show off and boast about his super knowledge. g) A gentleman shouldn't be too dogmatic. Mr. Kelada was a person that seemed to know everything and was involved in everything, not sensing that he was disliked by everybody. He was very chatty and talked as if he had been superior to everybody else. The passengers mocked him and called him Mr. Know - All even to his face. There was another dogmatic person on the ship - Mr. Ramsay who was an American Consular Kobe, Japan. He was on his way to Kobe after having picked up his Serviceman stationed in K obe, Japan. He was on his way to Kobe after having picked up his ork for a whole year. She looked very pretty little wife, who had stayed on her own in New Ymodest. Her clothes were simple although they achieved an effect of quiet distinction. She looked perfect and was adorable. One evening, the conversation drifted to the subject of pearls. As Mrs. Ramsay was wearing a string of pearls, Mr. Kelada announced that it certainly was a genuine one which had probably cost many thousands of dollars. He was ready to bet a hundred dollars on it. Mr. Ramsay, on the other hand, that his wife had bought it for 18 dollars in a department store. When Mr. Know - All took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, he noticed a desperat appeal in Mrs. Ramsay's eyes. He then realized that Mrs. Ramsay got the pearls from her lover.Since Mr. instead - he Kelada didn't . want to destroy Mrs. Ramsay's marriage, he ruined his reputation imitation. He gave Mr. told everybody that he was wrong and that the string was an excellent Ramsay a hundred dollars. The story spread all over the ship and everybody mocked Mr. Kelada. Later, while the narrator and Mr. Know - All were in their cabin, an envelope was pushed under the door. It contained a hundred dollar bill from Mrs. Ramsay. It was then that the narrator learned to value the dark - skinned Levantine. He was amazed at Mr. Kelada's generosity. This story shows that first impressions are often misleading and that appearances are sometimes deceptive. Mr. Kelada who is described as a disgusting person who shows off all the time and knows everything better than others, is in reality a sensitive, brave gentleman who wouldn't hurt others. On the other hand, Mrs. Ramsay, whose modesty and good qualities no one questions, has been unfaithful to her husband. The moral of the story is that we must not judge a book by its cover. Rather than judging a person by his looks, color or origin we should observe his behaviour and reactions in difficult situations. 2. What‘s Evelyn Waugh‘s ―Mr. Loveday‘s Little Outing ǁ about? 参考答案：Miss Angela after ten years parting with her mental morbid father went for the first time to see him in the lunatic asylum where she is indifferent to her own father, but greatly touched by an another patient named Mr. Loveday who commits murder crime long ago and now is a good companion to her father and kind to everybody here. Chatting with him she finds him well and normal now and further asks him his future wishes and is told he would like to have an outing. Miss Angela consults books and professional people and finally triumphs in obtaining an opportunity for him to carry out his wishes. On the day of his departure the lunatic house holds a ceremony to celebrate his freedom and see him off. Miss Angela comes to attend the ceremony. Two hours later Mr. Loveday returns and says couple of days later an old bike is found beside he has successfully fulfilled his wishes. Athe road side ditch together with the dead body of a young lady from the lunatic house on the way of home for tea. Miss Angela is murdered! The story, like Brother by Greene, exposes the cold reality of the society of his time in 1930s. Miss Angela shows cold and indifferent attitude towards her own morbid father but out of curiosity evinces odd sympathy over another lunatic patient who finally killed her. The story is both an exposure and satire of his time and people. Both Greene's Brother and Mr. Loveday's Little Outing are written from the point of view of intrusive narrator, i.e. like Hemingway's Killers, the stories give no clear hints of what are implied by the author, the reader has to associate the details and clues with a keen and perceiving eye. For example in this story on page 331-2-2 there is an important detail telling after Mr. Moping failed to hang himself on annual garden party day and is sent off to the lunatic asylum, then it writes: "Since then Lady Moping had paid seasonal calls at the asylum and returned in time for tea, rather reticent of her experience." Her husband is away and each time Mrs. Moping pays a short visit and then back in time for tea. Then in the end of the story when the dead body of the young lady is found, the author writes: Half a mile up the road from the asylum gates, they later discovered an abandoned bicycle. It was a lady's machine of some antiquity. Quite near it in the ditch lay the strangled body of a young woman, who, riding home to her tea, had chanced to overtake Mr. Loveday, as he strode along, musing on his opportunities. Who could that be except Miss Angela? III. Read and try to appreciate the following poem (20%)（Please write your answer here）1.Success is Counted Sweetest Success is Counted Sweetest By those who ne‘er succeedTo comprehend a nectar Requires sorest need Not one of all the purple host Who took the flag today Can tell the definition, So clearly, of victory As he, defeated, dying On whose forbidden ear The distant strains of triumph Burst, agonized and clear. 参考答案：A common idea in Dickinson's poems is that not having increases our appreciation or enjoyment of what we lack; the person who lacks (or does not have) understands whatever is lacking better than the person who possesses it. In this poem, the loser is that he knows the meaning '"definition" of victory better than the winners. The implication has "won" this knowledge by paying so high a price, with the anguish of defeat and with his death. In stanza one, she repeats the s sound and, to a lesser degree, n. Why does she use this alliteration? i.e., are the words significant? "Sorest" is used with the older meaning of greatest, but can it also have the more common meaning? What are the associations of "nectar"--good, bad, indifferent? Does "nectar" pick up any word in the first line? In stanza two, "purple" connotes royalty; the robes of kings and emperors were dyed purple. It is also the color of blood. Are these connotations appropriate to the poem? In a battle, what does a flag represent? Why is victory described in terms of taking the losing side's flag? In stanza three, what words are connected by d sounds and by s sounds? Is there any reason for connecting or emphasizing these words? Dickinson is compressing language and omitting connections in the last three lines. The dying man's ears are not forbidden; rather, the sounds of triumph are forbidden to him because his side lost the battle. The triumphant sounds that he hears are not agonized, though they are clear to him; rather, he is agonized at hearing the clear sounds of triumph of the other side. They are "distant" literally in being far off and metaphorically in not being part of his experience; defeat is the opposite of or "distant" from victory. 2. The Road not taken by: Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! , Y et knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back. its appe al, yet he has human commitment to fulfill. ―Sleepǁ refers to death on face value, but we should go and explore other potential values transcending the superficial, so it may mean beauty, comfort, leisure, hobby, desire and so on to form a tension and contrast with commitment, mission and responsibility. 2. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. 参考答案：The theme is to never give up; its moral is that giving up is tantamount to death. Culturally, Hughes most prolific writing period was in the late 1920s through the 1930s. He is considered among the most important of the movement called "The Harlem Renaissance." The Harlem Renaissance was composed of primarily African-American artists who "simultaneously expressed the desire for an integrated world and a warning to those who would try to keep the black race subservient." This poem expresses those sentiments. It is an encouragement for those oppressed by racism to continue the good fight and be assured that one day they will see their dreams become reality. Hughes uses metphors (comparison of two seemingly unrelated things) to, in Dr. King's words, "keep the dream alive; keep hope alive" (and surely King himself was inspired by Hughes poems in his own "I have a Dream" speech) to help the dream stay alive. He compares the death of a dream to a living a life like "a broken winged bird," that is, useless and without spirit or reason for living. Life without dreams is also compared to a frozen field, lifeless, without fruit. II. Question answers (20%)1. Please tell the idea of the story He by Katherine Anne Porter 参考答案参考答案：：Porter‘s stories reflect her sense of the confusion that characterizes human life; she investigates self-betrayal and self-deception — the way that all human beings deceive themselves about the way they operate... Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own…ǁ2. Who is the focal character in Hemingway‘s The ―Killersǁ? Why?参考答案：Ole Anderson. Though he is hidden and little described. That is the typical way of Hemingway‘s story and his th eory. The two professional killers seem to be aggressive and hideous, while the true killer by the mouth of Mrs. Bell is kind and gentle. But why should the two would-be killers kill Anderson if he is kind and gentle? So this is mere cover to foreshadow the real evil of the true murder by Ole Anderson. The Killers is a very good example of intrusive narration where the writer gives you no hints of the idea. III. Read and try to appreciate the following poem (20%)A Clean, Well-Lighted Place (Ernest Hemingway) It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him. "Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said. "Why?" "He was in despair." "What about?" "Nothing." "How do you know it was nothing?" "He has plenty of money." They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the girl and a soldier went shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. Aby in the street. The street light shone on the brass number on his collar. The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him. "The guard will pick him up," one waiter said. "What does it matter if he gets what he's after?" "He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five minutes ago." The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his saucer with his glass. The younger waiter went over to him. "What do you want?" The old man looked at him. "Another brandy," he said. "Y ou'll be drunk," the waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went away. "He'll stay all night," he said to his colleague. "I'm sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week." The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old man's table. He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy. "Y ou ou should should should have have have killed killed killed yourself yourself yourself last last last week,"week," he he said said said to to to the the the deaf deaf deaf man. man. man. The The The old old old man man motioned with his finger. "A little more," he said. The waiter poured on into the glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of the pile. "Thank you," the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the cafe. He sat down at the table with his colleague again. "He's drunk now," he said. "He's drunk every night." "What did he want to kill himself for?" "How should I know." "How did he do it?" "He hung himself with a rope." "Who cut him down?" "His niece." "Why did they do it?" "Fear for his soul." "How much money has he got?" "He's got plenty." "He must be eighty years old." "Anyway I should say he was eighty." "I wish he would go home. I never get to bed before three o'clock. What kind of hour is that to go to bed?" "He stays up because he likes it." "He's lonely. I'm not lonely. I have a wife waiting in bed for me." "He had a wife once too.""A wife would be no good to him now.""Y ou can't tell. He might be better with a wife." "His niece looks after him. Y ou said she cut him down." "I know." "I wouldn't want to be that old. An old man is a nasty thing." "Not always. This old man is clean. He drinks without spilling. Even now, drunk. Look at him." "I don't want to look at him. I wish he would go home. He has no regard for those who must work." The old man looked from his glass across the square, then over at the waiters. "Another brandy," he said, pointing to his glass. The waiter who was in a hurry came over. "Finished," "Finished," he he he said, said, said, speaking speaking speaking with with with that that that omission omission omission of of of syntax syntax syntax stupid stupid stupid people people people employ employ employ when when talking to drunken people or foreigners. "No more tonight. Close now." "Another," said the old man. "No. Finished." The waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head.

The waiter watched him go down the street, a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity. "Why didn't you let him stay and drink?" the unhurried waiter asked. They were putting up the shutters. "It is not half-past two." "I want to go home to bed." "What is an hour?" "More to me than to him." "An hour is the same." "Y ou talk like an old man yourself. He can buy a bottle and drink at home." "It's not the same." "No, it is not," agreed the waiter with a wife. He did not wish to be unjust. He was only in a hurry. "And you? Y o u have no fear of going home before your usual hour?" ou have no fear of going home before your usual hour?" "Are you trying to insult me?" "No, hombre , only to make a joke." "No," the waiter who was in a hurry said, rising from pulling down the metal shutters. "I have confidence. I am all confidence." "Y ou have youth, confidence, and a job," the older waiter said. "Y ou have everything." "And what do you lack?" "Everything but work." "Y ou have everything I have." "No. I have never had confidence and I am not young.""Come on. Stop talking nonsense and lock up.""I am of those who like to stay late at the cafe," the older waiter said.

He smiled and stood before a bar with a shining steam pressure coffee machine. "What's yours?" asked the barman. "Nada." "Otro loco mas," said the barman and turned away. "A little cup," said the waiter. The barman poured it for him. "The light is very bright and pleasant but the bar is unpolished," the waiter said. The barman looked at him but did not answer.

After all, he said to himself, it's probably only insomnia. Many must have it. 参考答案：This story was written by Ernest Hemingway.His major works are A Farewell to Arms in 1929,For Whom the Bell Tolls in 1940 and The Old Man and the Sea in 1952.I had read two novels of him, A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea.Especially The Old Man and the Sea,the story of an old fisherman's journey,his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea,and his victory in defeat,so I like it very much. It [life] was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too." Man must consequently find something to distract himself from his horrible truth. For the old man and the older waiter, "a clean and well-lighted" cafe is such an escape. The pervading metaphor in this story is predictably, the "clean well-lighted place." This paper aims to study the theme of A Clean, Well-Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway considers loneliness the principle tragedy of modern human life. Faced with ―nothing" in the modern society now and then, man should seek light and order to establish dignity in life. This kind of courage needed by man to fight against intolerable loneliness is exactly what Hemingway wanted to display in the story. Dickinson was chiefly a subjective poet relying on her imagination and inspiration drawn from the nature. That is what Emerson proclaimed in his transcendental philosophy: go to the nature to perceive fresh nature as symbolic of the Spirit or God and in doing so one can transcend the implicative and an endless source and inspiration for empirical world. Nature is spiritual and am I – / And poets. Dickinson thus immersed herself in nature and became ―Inebriate of air—Debauchee of Dew—ǁ and got drunk in the inn of nature, stag gering through the numerous summer days. Further here she imagined herself as one of the natural beings like bees and butterflies who leave when season is off but she could not part herself away with the alcohol until she got too drunk to move, which drew angels and saints out to have a look at her a drunkard in the sunshine! The unique feature of the poem is found in the poet‘s fancy and daring imagination. The relation of poets to nature is commonsense and iterated by poets over and over again but few poets can write such a rarely unique poem as Dickinson. First of all, the concrete images used to replace the abstract words; secondly, analogy is drawn between the poet and the drunk, both are dependent on alcohol, but different alcohols, one spiritual and the other physical. ―I taste a —ǁ the liquor I ―tasteǁ forms a tension not merely with the actual liquor, liquor never brewed—ǁ the liquor I ―tasteǁ forms a tension not merely with the actual liquor, but also with I, the taster. The former tension plays an inebriating effect upon the Great Nature, into the poetic realm, poetic sip from the poetic alcohol, hence and the latter one brings ―Iǁ i nto from which an ethereal spirit pervades throughout the poem and in the air, in our illusion and then intoxicates us by degrees to be wholly dissolved by a poetical power. When the other dependent creatures ―give upǁ and ―renounce‘ their sip, ―I shall but drink the moreǁ though fully drunk. Dickinson was an outstanding poet shown chiefly in her unusual sensitive and anti-conventional way of observing the world. In mechanical form Dickinson has her odd way of capitalization and special dash—deviation of capitalization and dash can only tells her way of emphasis and possible extension of idea. These two idiosyncrasies plus her images bearing later modernist features credited herself with the title of the forerunner of Modernist poet or founder of Imagist poetry. II.

福建师范大学2024年2月课程考试《英美文学选读》作业考核试题
《英美文学选读》期末考试A卷姓名：专业：学号：学习中心：成绩：Answer the following questions in English. (20 points for each)1. What is the theme expressed in Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18”? Shakespeare's eighteenth sonnet expresses the theme of Humanism: love conquers everything, and beauty resides in the world. The excellent love poems of the English Isabelle period are like clouds, while Shakespeare's sonnets were the leading translation company at that time. His poems praised and affirmed the value and strength of human beings, praised and praised the noble dignity and rationality of human beings, and explained the thought of Humanism in profound language. Humanism also permeates in the eighteenth sonnet. This poem unfolds our imagination with the imagery of summer, and our minds immediately conjure up the lush greenery and the beauty of delicate buds. But the summer here is actually not what we usually understand as "scorching summer". The summer in the UK, except for a few days in late July, is generally comfortable and pleasant, similar to the late spring in northern China, creating pleasant and beautiful associations. And the summer here notonly signifies the poet's friend's cuteness and admiration, but also implies that his friend is in a young and energetic period, because summer is always full of vitality.2. What does the image “l amb” stand for in William Blake's poem “The Lamb”?The Lamb presents questions from a child's perspective and then answers them, demonstrating the child's innocence and innocence. He believed that everything in the world was created by God, and the kind God created such a gentle and kind lamb. The whole poem brings a feeling of happiness and gentleness to people, and the "lamb" in the poem symbolizes innocence, sincerity, children, Jesus, or sacrifices, showcasing human tenderness, kindness, and beauty.3. How to describe the characteristics of Mrs. Bennet in the novel Pride and Prejudice?Mrs. Bennet is a foolish and reckless woman. For her, there is no etiquette or virtue to speak of, and she does not care about the moral and ideological education of her daughters at all. From the beginning of the novel, her only problem was how to marry off all her daughters. She is very satisfied with her daughter Linda's marriage, but she does not criticize Linda's shameful behavior at all, nor is she worried about the negative impact Linda has had on the family. Mrs. Bennet's lack of cultivation directly led to Elizabeth's humiliation, and her outspokenbehavior also led to Jane and Mr. Bingley moving out after their marriage.4. Who is the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado? What wrong does he want to redress?Allan Poe adopts a fast-paced narrative style, and at the beginning of the novel, he uses a simple sentence to explain the background of the story. Montessori claims to have been hurt multiple times by his friend Fortunado and is determined to retaliate. During the carnival, Montessori told the half drunk and half awakened Fortunato that he had only bought a barrel of Armantidola, but he couldn't distinguish the authenticity of the wine. Under the lure of Montessori, Fortunato decided to follow his friend to the wine cellar to taste the wine. Montessori, who had succeeded in his scheme, pretended to refuse and successfully led Fortunato to his own wine cellar. He tied Fortunato to an iron pillar and listened to his friend's sorrowful plea for help. He quickly built the door of the wine cellar and secretly ended his friend's life in endless darkness.5. In Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, do you think Gatsby deserves to be called "the great" person? Why/ Why not?Gatsby deserves to be called a 'great' person. The reason why Gatsby is remarkable is because he dares to pursue happiness, even if he fails, he is still remarkable. He is willing to give up the comfort of reality for the sake of his ideal in his heart. The green light that Gatsby pursued throughout his life - there was the ideal Daisy, his eternal goddess. However, Daisy is just an ordinary woman, so it seems that Gatsby's pursuit of the green light is also like a flower in a moonlight mirror in the water, which is nothing and drifting. In Nick's opinion, he knew very well that Gatsby would fail. But he still praised such a sincere pursuer.。

福师1203考试批次《英美文学选读》复习题及参考答案一I. Please write the theme of the following poems (60%)1. Death, be not proud, though some have called theeMighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:For those whom thou think‘st thou dost overthrowDie not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,Much pleasure; then from thee much must flow,And soonest our best men with thee do go,参考答案：This poem focuses on a key paradox of Christian doctrine: central to the believers religious awakening is the realization of mortality, the fear of death. But ultimately the hope of resurrection makes death lose its sting. In the words of the poem, death has no reason to ―swell‖ with pride. We are af raid of death, and yet we are not afraid of death. This religious idea is expressed in the authors supposed dialogue with ―death,‖ as various reasons are given in the poem to argue against the common belief in death as ―mighty and dreadful.‖2. Tyger! Tyger! burning brightIt the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry?In what distant deeps or skiesBurnt the fire of thine eyes?On what wings dare he aspire?What the hand, dare seize the fire?参考答案：The tiger represents energy. Blake felt that energy was good. Energy / wrath can overthrow error. So revolutionary energy can overthrow error. The tiger represents this force of energy and wrath that is to consume error. Tiger / wrath / energy / problem can be dead and consumed and then lamb turns into tiger. Anyway there must be tiger and lamb in the universe. That is the law of nature.II. Question answers (20%)1.Please tell the idea in the short story of ―Mr. Know-All‖ by William Somerset Maugham参考答案：The story takes place in international waters on an ocean going liner sailing from San Fracisco, U.S.A to Y okohama, Japan on the Pacific ocean. As the war had just ended, it was difficult to get accomodations. Therefore, the narrator had to share a c abin with a totalstranger, but he expected him to be one of his own countrymen. Instead, he was deeply shocked to realize it was a chatty Levantine of oriental origin, Mr. Max Kelada, who was not British, but a native of one of the British colonies (he did have a British passport). Although his origin isn't stated precisely, his name suggests Spanish, Portugese, Syrian or even Jewish origin. The narrator mentions Mr. Kelada's "hooked nose", which might imply an antisemitic remark against Jews.The narrator was prepared to dislike Mr. Kelada even before he saw him. When he first entered the cabin, he saw Mr. Kelada's luggage and toilet things that had already been unpacked. The man's name and the sight of his things aroused a strong repulsion in him since he was prejudiced against all non- Britons, feeling superior to them. The irony of the story lies in the fact that the list of Mr. Kelada's "negative" traits presented in the beginning of the story shows an orderly, neat and tidy gentleman.When the narrator met Mr. Kelada, his hatred got even stronger. He abhorred the cultural differences between Kelada and himself. He both detested and despised Mr. Kelada's gestures. Therefore, the description of Kelada is negative and biased. The narrator's prejudice is based on several cultural differences between him and Mr. Kelada:a) A total stranger should address a gentleman with "Mr." and be formal.b) A gentleman shouldn't be pushy.c) A gentleman should be modest.d) A gentleman should keep quiet during meals.e) A gentleman shouldn't be too chatty and argumentative.f) A gentleman shouldn't show off and boast about his super knowledge.g) A gentleman shouldn't be too dogmatic.Mr. Kelada was a person that seemed to know everything and was involved in everything, not sensing that he was disliked by everybody. He was very chatty and talked as if he had been superior to everybody else. The passengers mocked him and called him Mr. Know - All even to his face.There was another dogmatic person on the ship - Mr. Ramsay who was an American Consular Serviceman stationed in Kobe, Japan. He was on his way to Kobe after having picked up his pretty little wife, who had stayed on her own in New Y ork for a whole year. She looked very modest. Her clothes were simple although they achieved an effect of quiet distinction. She looked perfect and was adorable.One evening, the conversation drifted to the subject of pearls. As Mrs. Ramsay was wearing a string of pearls, Mr. Kelada announced that it certainly was a genuine one which had probably cost many thousands of dollars. He was ready to bet a hundred dollars on it. Mr. Ramsay, on the other hand, that his wife had bought it for 18 dollars in a department store. When Mr. Know - All took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, he noticed a desperat appeal in Mrs. Ramsay's eyes. He then realized that Mrs. Ramsay got the pearls from her lover.Since Mr. Kelada didn't . want to destroy Mrs. Ramsay's marriage, he ruined his reputation instead - he told everybody that he was wrong and that the string was an excellent imitation. He gave Mr. Ramsay a hundred dollars.The story spread all over the ship and everybody mocked Mr. Kelada. Later, while the narrator and Mr. Know - All were in their cabin, an envelope was pushed under the door. It contained a hundred dollar bill from Mrs. Ramsay. It was then that the narrator learned to value the dark - skinned Levantine. He was amazed at Mr. Kelada's generosity.This story shows that first impressions are often misleading and that appearances are sometimes deceptive. Mr. Kelada who is described as a disgusting person who shows off all the time and knows everything better than others, is in reality a sensitive, brave gentleman who wouldn't hurt others. On the other hand, Mrs. Ramsay, whose modesty and good qualities no one questions, has been unfaithful to her husband.The moral of the story is that we must not judge a book by its cover. Rather than judging a person by his looks, color or origin we should observe his behaviour and reactions in difficult situations.2. What‘s Evelyn Waugh‘s ―Mr. Loveday‘s Little Outing ‖ about?参考答案：Miss Angela after ten years parting with her mental morbid father went for the first time to see him in the lunatic asylum where she is indifferent to her own father, but greatly touched by an another patient named Mr. Loveday who commits murder crime long ago and now is a good companion to her father and kind to everybody here. Chatting with him she finds him well and normal now and further asks him his future wishes and is told he would like to have an outing. Miss Angela consults books and professional people andfinally triumphs in obtaining an opportunity for him to carry out his wishes. On the day of his departure the lunatic house holds a ceremony to celebrate his freedom and see him off.Miss Angela comes to attend the ceremony. Two hours later Mr. Loveday returns and says he has successfully fulfilled his wishes. A couple of days later an old bike is found beside the road side ditch together with the dead body of a young lady from the lunatic house on the way of home for tea. Miss Angela is murdered!The story, like Brother by Greene, exposes the cold reality of the society of his time in1930s. Miss Angela shows cold and indifferent attitude towards her own morbid father but out of curiosity evinces odd sympathy over another lunatic patient who finally killed her.The story is both an exposure and satire of his time and people.Both Greene's Brother and Mr. Loveday's Little Outing are written from the point of view of intrusive narrator, i.e. like Hemingway's Killers, the stories give no clear hints of what are implied by the author, the reader has to associate the details and clues with a keen and perceiving eye. For example in this story on page 331-2-2 there is an important detail telling after Mr. Moping failed to hang himself on annual garden party day and is sent off to the lunatic asylum, then it writes: "Since then Lady Moping had paid seasonal calls at the asylum and returned in time for tea, rather reticent of her experience." Her husband is away and each time Mrs. Moping pays a short visit and then back in time for tea. Then in the end of the storywhen the dead body of the young lady is found, the author writes: Half a mile up the road from the asylum gates, they later discovered an abandoned bicycle. It was a lady's machine of some antiquity. Quite near it in the ditch lay the strangled body of a young woman, who, riding home to her tea, had chanced to overtake Mr. Loveday, as he strode along, musing on his opportunities. Who could that be except Miss Angela?III. Read and try to appreciate the following poem (20%)（Please write your answer here）1.Success is Counted SweetestSuccess is Counted SweetestBy those who ne‘er succeedTo comprehend a nectarRequires sorest needNot one of all the purple hostWho took the flag todayCan tell the definition,So clearly, of victoryAs he, defeated, dyingOn whose forbidden earThe distant strains of triumphBurst, agonized and clear.参考答案：A common idea in Dickinson's poems is that not having increases our appreciation or enjoyment of what we lack; the person who lacks (or does not have) understands whatever is lacking better than the person who possesses it. In this poem, the loser knows the meaning '"definition" of victory better than the winners. The implication is that he has "won" this knowledge by paying so high a price, with the anguish of defeat and with his death.In stanza one, she repeats the s sound and, to a lesser degree, n. Why does she use this alliteration? i.e., are the words significant? "Sorest" is used with the older meaning of greatest, but can it also have the more common meaning? What are the associations of "nectar"--good, bad, indifferent? Does "nectar" pick up any word in the first line?In stanza two, "purple" connotes royalty; the robes of kings and emperors were dyed purple. It is also the color of blood. Are these connotations appropriate to the poem? In a battle, what does a flag represent? Why is victory described in terms of taking the losing side's flag?In stanza three, what words are connected by d sounds and by s sounds? Is there any reason for connecting or emphasizing these words? Dickinson is compressing language and omitting connections in the last three lines. The dying man's ears are not forbidden; rather, the sounds of triumph are forbidden to him because his side lost the battle. The triumphant sounds that he hears are not agonized, though they are clear to him; rather, he is agonized at hearing the clear sounds of triumph of the other side. They are "distant" literally in being far off and metaphorically in not being part of his experience; defeat is the opposite of or "distant" from victory.2. The Road not takenby: Robert FrostTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Y et knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.参考答案：The speaker stands in the woods, considering a fork in the road. Both ways are equally worn an d equally overlaid with un-trodden leaves. The speaker chooses one, telling himself that he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to do s o. And he admits that someday in the future he will recreate the scene with a slight twist: He wi ll claim that he took the less-traveled road.福师1203考试批次《英美文学选读》复习题及参考答案二I. Please write the theme of the following poems (60%)1. He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound‘s the sweepOf 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.参考答案：The owner is not here, so we are reminded of his loneliness—there is nobody around. It‘s a snowy evening. Snow scene is beautiful. The woods is in its quietness, snow falling and there is a beauty as well as a mystery in the dark woods. The horse‘s in stinct is to get to shelter and civilization, so there is conflict between horse and man. The darkest evening hints something sinister as well as tempting before him because of quietness, beauty and mystery. And it‘s only the man that responds to beauty. T he horse wants to get to shelter instinctively. ―He gives his harness bells a shake‖. It seems to knows where it should go or would leave rather than stop here. The horse stands for something subordinate to man, it can be mechanical world or creature of lo w species. Then in the third stanza there are so many ―s‖ sounds suggest uncertainty and confusion. ―But I have promises to keep,‖ though the wood had its appeal, yet he has human commitment to fulfill. ―Sleep‖ refers to death on face value, but we should go and explore other potential values transcending the superficial, so it may mean beauty, comfort, leisure, hobby, desire and so on to form a tension and contrast with commitment, mission and responsibility.2.Hold fast to dreamsFor if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged birdThat cannot fly.Hold fast to dreamsFor when dreams goLife is a barren fieldFrozen with snow.参考答案：The theme is to never give up; its moral is that giving up is tantamount to death. Culturally, Hughes most prolific writing period was in the late 1920s through the 1930s. He is considered among the most important of the movement called "The Harlem Renaissance."The Harlem Renaissance was composed of primarily African-American artists who "simultaneously expressed the desire for an integrated world and a warning to those who would try to keep the black race subservient." This poem expresses those sentiments. It is an encouragement for those oppressed by racism to continue the good fight and be assured that one day they will see their dreams become reality.Hughes uses metphors (comparison of two seemingly unrelated things) to, in Dr. King's words, "keep the dream alive; keep hope alive" (and surely King himself was inspired by Hughes poems in his own "I have a Dream" speech) to help the dream stay alive. He compares the death of a dream to a living a life like "a broken winged bird," that is, useless and without spirit or reason for living. Life without dreams is also compared to a frozen field, lifeless, without fruit.II.

Though he is hidden and little described. That is the typical way of Hemingway‘s story and his theory. The two professional killers seem to be aggressive and hideous, while the true killer by the mouth of Mrs. Bell is kind and gentle. But why should the two would-be killers kill Anderson if he is kind and gentle? So this is mere cover to foreshadow the real evil of the true murder by Ole Anderson. The Killers is a very good example of intrusive narration where the writer gives you no hints of the idea.III. Read and try to appreciate the following poem (20%)A Clean, Well-Lighted Place(Ernest Hemingway)It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him."Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said."Why?""He was in despair.""What about?""Nothing.""How do you know it was nothing?""He has plenty of money."They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. A girl and a soldier went by in the street. The street light shone on the brass number on his collar. The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him."The guard will pick him up," one waiter said."What does it matter if he gets what he's after?""He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five minutes ago."The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his saucer with his glass. The younger waiter went over to him."What do you want?"The old man looked at him. "Another brandy," he said."Y ou'll be drunk," the waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went away. "He'll stay all night," he said to his colleague. "I'm sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week."The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old man's table. He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy."Y ou should have killed yourself last week,"he said to the deaf man. The old man motioned with his finger. "A little more," he said. The waiter poured on into the glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of the pile. "Thank you," the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the cafe. He sat down at the table with his colleague again."He's drunk now," he said."He's drunk every night.""What did he want to kill himself for?""How should I know.""How did he do it?""He hung himself with a rope.""Who cut him down?""His niece.""Why did they do it?""Fear for his soul.""How much money has he got?""He's got plenty.""He must be eighty years old.""Anyway I should say he was eighty.""I wish he would go home. I never get to bed before three o'clock. What kind of hour is that to go to bed?""He stays up because he likes it.""He's lonely. I'm not lonely. I have a wife waiting in bed for me.""He had a wife once too.""A wife would be no good to him now.""Y ou can't tell. He might be better with a wife.""His niece looks after him. Y ou said she cut him down.""I know." "I wouldn't want to be that old. An old man is a nasty thing.""Not always. This old man is clean. He drinks without spilling. Even now, drunk. Look at him.""I don't want to look at him. I wish he would go home. He has no regard for those who must work."The old man looked from his glass across the square, then over at the waiters."Another brandy," he said, pointing to his glass. The waiter who was in a hurry came over. "Finished," he said, speaking with that omission of syntax stupid people employ when talking to drunken people or foreigners. "No more tonight. Close now." "Another," said the old man."No. Finished." The waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head. The old man stood up, slowly counted the saucers, took a leather coin purse from his pocket and paid for the drinks, leaving half a peseta tip. The waiter watched him go down the street, a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity."Why didn't you let him stay and drink?" the unhurried waiter asked. They were putting up the shutters. "It is not half-past two.""I want to go home to bed.""What is an hour?""More to me than to him.""An hour is the same.""Y ou talk like an old man yourself. He can buy a bottle and drink at home.""It's not the same.""No, it is not," agreed the waiter with a wife. He did not wish to be unjust. He was only in a hurry."And you? Y ou have no fear of going home before your usual hour?""Are you trying to insult me?""No, hombre , only to make a joke.""No," the waiter who was in a hurry said, rising from pulling down the metal shutters. "I have confidence. I am all confidence.""Y ou have youth, confidence, and a job," the older waiter said. "Y ou have everything." "And what do you lack?""Everything but work.""Y ou have everything I have.""No. I have never had confidence and I am not young.""Come on. Stop talking nonsense and lock up.""I am of those who like to stay late at the cafe," the older waiter said."With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night.""I want to go home and into bed.""We are of two different kinds," the older waiter said. He was now dressed to go home. "It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be some one who needs the cafe." "Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.""Y ou do not understand. This is a clean and pleasant cafe. It is well lighted. The light is very good and also, now, there are shadows of the leaves.""Good night," said the younger waiter."Good night," the other said. Turning off the electric light he continued the conversation with himself, It was the light of course but it is necessary that the place be clean and pleasant. Y ou do not want music. Certainly you do not want music. Nor can you stand before a bar with dignity although that is all that is provided for these hours. What did he fear? It was not a fear or dread, It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee. He smiled and stood before a bar with a shining steam pressure coffee machine."What's yours?" asked the barman."Nada.""Otro loco mas,"said the barman and turned away."A little cup," said the waiter.The barman poured it for him."The light is very bright and pleasant but the bar is unpolished," the waiter said.The barman looked at him but did not answer. It was too late at night for conversation. "Y ou want another copita?" the barman asked."No, thank you," said the waiter and went out. He disliked bars and bodegas. A clean, well-lighted cafe was a very different thing. Now, without thinking further, he would go home to his room. He would lie in the bed and finally, with daylight, he would go to sleep. After all, he said to himself, it's probably only insomnia. Many must have it.参考答案：This story was written by Ernest Hemingway.His major works are A Farewell to Arms in 1929,For Whom the Bell Tolls in 1940 and The Old Man and the Sea in 1952.Ihad read two novels of him, A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea.Especially The Old Man and the Sea,the story of an old fisherman's journey,his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea,and his victory in defeat,so I like it very much.It [life] was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too." Man must consequently find something to distract himself from his horrible truth. For the old man and the older waiter, "a clean and well-lighted" cafe is such an escape. The pervading metaphor in this story is predictably, the "clean well-lighted place."This paper aims to study the theme of A Clean, Well-Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway considers loneliness the principle tragedy of modern human life.Faced with ―nothing" in the modern society now and then, man should seek light and order to establish dignity in life. This kind of courage needed by man to fight against intolerable loneliness is exactly what Hemingway wanted to display in the story.福师1203考试批次《英美文学选读》复习题及参考答案三I.Please write the theme of the following poems (60%)1.We think each one will heave to and unloadAll good into our lives, all we are owedFor waiting so devoutly and so long.But we are wrong;Only one ship is seeking us, a black-Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her backA huge and birdless silence. In her wakeNo waters breed or break.参考答案：It‘s taken from the poem ―Next, Please‖ by Philip Larkin, a major British poet in the 50s of the last century as well as the most representative poet of the Movement.Interpret: We think each time that the coming event or situation will bring something to reward our ardent waiting and make a permanent change in our lives, but our fervent expectation and ardent hopes is unable to bring about anything actual to be there. // Only one future event will have a permanent effect on our lives, and that event is death. Like a strange, black-sailed ship, death will find us all. It will not be made of bright hopes like the previous, illusory ships; it will only bring silence and mortality and to all.2.When ―Landlords‖ turn the drunken BeeOut of the Foxgloves‘s door—When Butterflies –- renounce their ‗drams‖I shall but drink the more!Till Serphs swing their snowy Hats—And Saints—to windows run—To see the little TipplerLeaning against the—Sun—参考答案：It‘s taken from the poem ―I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed‖ by Emily Dickinson, 19th century American poet.Dickinson was chiefly a subjective poet relying on her imagination and inspiration drawn from the nature. That is what Emerson proclaimed in his transcendental philosophy: go to the nature to perceive fresh nature as symbolic of the Spirit or God and in doing so one can transcend the empirical world. Nature is spiritual and implicative and an endless source and inspiration for poets. Dickinson thus immersed herself in nature and became ―Inebriate of air—am I – / And Debauchee of Dew—‖ and got drunk in the inn of nature, staggering through the numerous summer days. Further here she imagined herself as one of the natural beings like bees and butterflies who leave when season is off but she could not part herself away with the alcohol until she got too drunk to move, which drew angels and saints out to have a look at her a drunkard in the sunshine!The unique feature of the poem is found in the poet‘s fancy and daring imagination. The relation of poets to nature is commonsense and iterated by poets over and over again but few poets can write such a rarely unique poem as Dickinson. First of all, the concrete images used to replace the abstract words; secondly, analogy is drawn between the poet and the drunk, both are dependent on alcohol, but different alcohols, one spiritual and the other physical. ―I taste a liquor never brewed—‖ the liquor I ―taste‖ forms a tension not merely with the actual liquor, but also with I, the taster. The former tension plays an inebriating effect upon the Great Nature, and the latter one brings ―I‖ into the poetic realm, poetic sip from the poetic alcohol, hence from which an ethereal spirit pervades throughout the poem and in the air, in our illusion and then intoxicates us by degrees to be wholly dissolved by a poetical power. When the other dependent creatures ―give up‖ and ―renounce‘ their sip, ―I shall but drink the more‖ though fully drunk.Dickinson was an outstanding poet shown chiefly in her unusual sensitive and anti-conventional way of observing the world. In mechanical form Dickinson has her odd way of capitalization and special dash—deviation of capitalization and dash can only tells her way of emphasis and possible extension of idea. These two idiosyncrasies plus her images bearing later modernist features credited herself with the title of the forerunner of Modernist poet or founder of Imagist poetry.II.
