菲利普·普尔曼：《黑质三部曲》一套被认为颠覆了传统认知的创世传说、作品的深度与文学性足堪名列文学史的英国奇幻文学作品--《黑质三部曲》近日由上海译文出版社引进出版。
该三部曲包括《金色罗盘》、《魔法神刀》、《琥珀望远镜》三册，迄今已被翻译成二十几种文字，全球发行量近一千万套，同名电影正由影片《魔戒》原班人马精心打造，2007年将推出系列影片第一部。
第一部《黄金罗盘》这是一个不凡的世界，人的灵魂是一个以某种动物形式存在着的精灵，且人与精灵密不可分，不然，生命将不复存在。
莱拉13岁，她的父亲阿斯里尔勋爵是一位自然研究家，母亲库尔特夫人是一名狂热的原教旨主义信徒，具有极强的权利欲。
但这对夫妻多年前就反目成仇了。
莱拉从小就被父亲托付给乔丹学院的院士抚养，她对自己的出身一无所知，以为自己是个孤儿，她终日与玩伴及他们的精灵嬉闹，长成了一个诡计多端、恣意妄为且谎话连篇的野女孩。
突然，莱拉的很多玩伴都莫名其妙地失踪了，整个城市都在谈论是吃人的饕餮干的坏事。
莱拉决定去寻找这些孩子。
就在这时，乔丹学院来了一位神秘美丽的女士。
莱拉并不知道，她就是自己的母亲库尔特夫人。
库尔特夫人决定把她带在自己身边。
临行前，乔丹学院院长送给莱拉一个黄金罗盘，一个可以预测未来、只有莱拉可以看得懂的真理仪。
因为包括院士、天使和女巫们都知道关于莱拉有一个神秘的预言，即她将成为伊甸园里的人类之母夏娃，承担起拯救世界的重大责任，而黄金罗盘将起到关键的作用。
莱拉偶然发现库尔特夫人即是偷走孩子的罪魁祸首，而且得知孩子们都被送到北极。
她悄悄逃了出去，往北极去了，一路上历经艰辛，遭遇了披甲熊、女巫、天使、悬崖厉鬼等各种历险，甚至差一点被邪恶的科学家放到库尔特夫人发明的精灵切割机上。
莱拉解救了所有的孩子后，继续北上，把金色罗盘送给她父亲，但她父亲已经不再需要，而是利用切割开罗杰和他的精灵的办法打开了通向另一个世界的窗口。
一直为"尘埃"之说困惑的莱拉决定尾随其后，保护尘埃。

Divide the passage into three parts.Part1(Para. ) How did she overcome difficulties and succeed?Part2(Para. ) What makes her books so important?Part3(Para. ) What is the Harry Potter effect?Supplementary ReadingExtract from . Rowling’s Lecture at HarvardLooking back at the 21-year-old that I was at graduation, is a slightly uncomfortable experience for the 42-year-old that she has become. Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself, and what those closest to me expected of me.I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk(怪癖) that would never pay a mortgage(按揭), or secure a pension.So they hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I threw away German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for guiding you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. What is more, I cannot criticize my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty involves fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticized only by fools.What I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure.At your age, in spite of a distinct lack of motivation at university, where I had spent far too long in the coffee bar writing stories, and far too little time at lectures, I had a knack(诀窍) for passing examinations, and that, for years, had been the measure of success in my life and that of my peers.I am not dull enough to suppose that because you are young, gifted and well-educated, you have never known hardship or heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet protected anyone against the caprice (多变) of the fate, and I do not for a moment suppose that everyone here has enjoyed an existence of unruffled privilege and contentment.Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what makes up failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So I think it fair to say that by any conventional measure, a mere seven years after my graduationday, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.Failure gave me an inner security (安全) that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.The knowledge that you have come out wiser and stronger of setbacks means that you are, ever after, confident in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by failure. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV(简历), are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its ups and downs.1.Work out the format of the passage.Para ________ povertyPara ________ failurePara ________ attitude towards failurePara________ the truth of life(1)What difficulties did have on her way to success?(2)How does she view failure?4.Discuss in groups.(1)How do you view failure?What can we learn from the。
高中英语外研版选修六素材：文本 Module 2 Fantasy Literature 素材 Literature and Fantasy
Literature and FantasySpeculative fiction may be a big tent, but "real" literature, when considering the same topics, is not. If a story has science fiction attributes, there is little chance it will be accepted into the canon. Virtually anything future oriented or technological is automatically shuttled into "genre", becoming science fiction by default. There is very little "literature" which is science fiction. Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale, some Vonnegut, and not a whole lot more."Real literature" is somewhat kinder to fantasy. A hybrid fantasy story can make quite acceptable literature. Literature generally uses three main types of fantastic construction. The first might be called "speculative storytelling". There are often no overt fantasy elements in such a story, but the very premise itself will be fantastical. Often verging on being a schematic mythology, this form is characterized by the use of symbolism and extended metaphor. Here is an example. A woman is born to a man who wants only a son. So he simply goes on as if she was male, raising her as a boy and believing fully in her maleness. In time, enjoying her enhanced place in society, she adopts the role fully. What might be only a specific case of transvestism can become a metaphor for the role of gender, or the place of women in male-dominated society, or for the nature of identity itself. Something fairly normal (or at least conceivable) can become the vehicle of fantastic speculation.(The story cited, The Sand Child by Tahar Ben Jelloun, will be reviewed in our upcoming Desert Themes issue, so stay tuned.)A second area of fantasy in literature is the fabulation. The key mark of the fabulation is a subversion of acknowledged reality for the express benefit of the story being told. It is important that the reader recognize the unreality of the tale to appreciate the points of the narrative. This is a very widely used convention in literature, by countless authors. William Burroughs comes immediately to mind, as does Katherine Dunn in the incredibly creepy Geek Love. Most importantly, it is a convention, used with a nod and wink to the reader, and in this strays a bit from what could be called a "pure" fantasy. Where speculative storytelling uses covert fantasy inthe realm of overt reality, the fabulation turns this inside out, hiding the "reality" within a construct of fantasy.A third avenue involves fantastic elements emerging into a conventional setting. There is a lot of this in Kafka, and especially in the genre of "magical realism". Mostly Latin American or Central European, magical realism's three "M's" are mystery, miracle, and magic.Some explanations of magical realism's genesis are, first, the mysteries of alien culture observed by the European invaders of the New World, the acceptance of mystery as an integral part of "pagan" religion. The second is the structural system of belief in miracle which underpins the Catholic faith, the miraculous happening in literary narrative echoing the history of acceptance of miraculous happening in life. Third is the collision of the modern world with remnant traditional belief systems, often magical, which offer a resonant symbolism and structure.The typical magical realism story involves singular, fantastic eruptions into everyday existence, aberrations of reality which hold within them (spiritual) truths. It is half-way fantasy, not forcing the reader to make a full suspension of disbelief, using fantasy only as an element in the story.What literature is most comfortable with is an emergent fantasy, as in magical realism, Kafka, Burroughs, and recently in the excellent work of Jonathan Carroll. (It has an analog in horror fiction, which uses the intrusion of the occult into mundane life). Literature will use the speculative device, but is leary of full speculative investigation.At the sharp end, use of fantasy in "real" literature is not about a full, speculative suspension of disbelief. That is left to science fiction and fantasy, which it ghetto-ises as "genre". The stink of it is that these two step children are not fully literary, that they are somehow less. Unfortunate, but that's just the way things are. It's easy to see why Ursula LeGuin complains about being called a science fiction writer. "I write science fiction. I am not a science fiction writer".*Being taken seriously in the literary world can be a toughie.。

高中英语讲义Philip Pullman: His Dark MaterialsPhilip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy - 'The Golden Compass' (called 'Northern Lights' in the UK), 'The Subtle Knife' and 'The Amber Spyglass' attack the Church and the Bible's picture of God. These pages try to respond from the point of view of a follower of Christ, not just being negative for the sake of it, but taking Pullman's criticisms seriously.These stories are well-crafted, and keep you turning the pages to find out what happens. They have an epic sweep that inevitably brings 'Lord of the Rings' to mind, and indeed the series has been compared favorably with 'Lord of the Rings', with many critics making comments along the lines of 'roll over J R R Tolkein'. 'His Dark Materials' has also been described as 'C S Lewis for atheists.' However, we believe that these stories are harmful propaganda for a worldview that is not supported by the evidence, and does not work in practice.Pullman's worldview does away with God, but he has nothing to put in God's place to account for how we are here. We are just a cosmic accident. But - as we have shown elsewhere on this site, there is now a mass of scientific (not religious) evidence to rule out this possibility. Pullman's worldview is essentially pantheistic - matter is intelligent, 'matter loves itself'. But there is not a shred of evidence for this worldview.If his worldview is pantheistic, his vision is secular: we will reject the kingdom of heaven but build a republic in its place. Of course, it is the same secular vision that actually drives much of the political activity of our times. Yet it is a deeply flawed vision, and there is a growing mass of evidence that it does not work - it simply cannot deliver a livable society. As John Benton says in 'Evangelicals Now', July 2002:只要坚持梦想总能实现 1。
