雅典保护神之争
波塞冬曾与智慧女神雅典娜争做雅典城的保护神。看谁能给人类意见有用的礼物，波塞冬不幸落败。 波塞冬选择赠送人类一匹骏马，雅典娜则选择赠送人类一棵橄榄树。骏马在当时是战车发动机，象征战争；而橄榄树象征和平，果实可以榨油，在资源贫乏的希腊也算是扶贫项目。宙斯主持奥林匹斯议会投票，于是雅典娜胜出。

雅典娜的诞生
关于雅典娜的出生，虽然有种种不同的传说，但是它们一致的是，宙斯惧怕将来自己被这个孩子取代（先前已有这种预言）。为了阻止胎儿发育成型，宙斯把他的第一个妻子墨提斯，也是腹中孩子的母亲，变成了一只苍蝇，随后将其吞食。然而不久头痛难忍，无法解除。百般无奈之中，宙斯命令自己的儿子火神赫菲斯托斯用斧子劈开了自己的脑袋，雅典娜全副武装大叫一声跳将出来，喊声惊天动地。
维纳斯为何断臂，法国一舰长揭开谜底。1999年11月11日14:45扬子晚报众所周知，爱神维纳斯的雕塑是断臂的。但对于是当初就没有雕塑双臂，还是后来断掉的，却鲜为人知。不久前，有人发现上世纪法国舰长杜蒙-居维尔的回忆录，才解开了这个100多年来的谜。维纳斯是希腊米洛农民伊奥尔科斯1820年春天刨地时掘获的。出土时的维纳斯右臂下垂，手扶衣衿，左上臂伸过头，握着一只苹果。当时法国驻米洛领事路易斯-布勒斯特得知此事后，赶往伊奥尔科斯住处，表示要以高价收买此塑像，并获得了伊奥尔科斯的应允。但由于手头没有足够的现金，只好派居维尔连夜赶往君士坦丁堡报告法国大使。大使听完汇报后立即命令秘书带了一笔巨款随居维尔连夜前往米洛洽购女神像，却不知农民伊奥尔科斯此时已将神像卖给了一位希腊商人，而且已经装船外运。居维尔当即决定以武力截夺。英国得知这一消息之后，也派舰艇赶来争夺，双方展开了一场激烈的战斗，混战中雕塑的双臂不幸被砸断，从此，维纳斯就成了一个断臂女神。

小学英语格林童话系列一桧树theJuniperTree四阅读素材
the Juniper Tree那只小鸟飞走之后，落在了一个金匠的房顶，开始唱道：「我的母亲杀了她的小儿郎，我的父亲把我吞进了肚肠，美丽的玛傑丽小姑娘，同情我惨遭魔掌，把我安放在桧树身旁。
现在我快乐地到处飞翔，飞过群山峡谷、飞过海洋，我是一只小鸟，我多么漂亮！」金匠坐在自己的店铺里正好做完一根金链条，当他听到屋顶上鸟儿的歌声时，站起来就往外跑，匆忙之中，滑落了一只鞋也顾不上去穿。
金匠冲到街上，腰间还系着工作围裙，一只手拿着铁钳，一只手拿着金链条。
他抬头一看，发现一只小鸟正栖息在屋顶上，太阳在小鸟光洁的羽毛上闪闪发亮。
他说道：「我漂亮的小鸟，你唱得多么甜美啊！请你再把这首歌唱一遍。
」小鸟说道：「不行，没有报酬我不会再唱第二遍，如果你把金链条给我，我就再唱给你听。
」金匠想了一下，举起金链条说：「在这儿，你只要再唱一遍，就拿去吧。
」小鸟飞下来，用右爪抓住金链条，停在金匠近前唱道：「我的母亲杀了她的小儿郎，我的父亲以为我去向远方，美丽的玛傑丽小姑娘，同情我惨遭魔掌，把我安放在桧树身旁。
现在我快乐地到处飞翔，飞过群山峡谷、飞过海洋，我是一只小鸟，我多么漂亮！」唱完之后，小鸟飞落在一个鞋匠的屋顶上面，和前面一样唱了起来。
鞋匠听到歌声，连外衣都没穿就跑出屋门，抬头朝房顶望去，但刺眼的阳光照着他，使他不得不抬起手挡在眼睛前。
看出是只小鸟后，他说道：「小鸟，你唱得多么悦耳啊！」又对房子里喊道：「夫人！夫人！快出来，快来看我们的屋顶上落了一只漂亮的小鸟，它在唱歌呢！」然后，又叫来他的孩子们和伙计们。
他们都跑了出来，站在外面惊讶地看着这只小鸟，看着它红绿相衬的漂亮羽毛，看着它脖子上闪耀着金色光彩的羽环，看着它像星星一样亮晶晶的眼睛。
鞋匠说道：「喂，小鸟，请你再把那首歌唱一遍吧。
」小鸟回答说：「不行，没有报酬我不会再唱第二遍。
如果要我唱，你得给我一点东西。
」鞋匠对他的妻子说道：「夫人，你快到楼上的作坊去找一双最好的，红色的新鞋子拿来给我。

古英语时期和中世纪时期的英国文学考点
第一章古英语时期和中世纪时期的英国文学考点1. The Old English poetry can be divided into two groups: the religious group and the secular one. The Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Beowulf 《贝尔武夫》, a typical example of Old English poetry, is regarded as the greatest national epic of the Anglo-Saxons. The epic describes the exploits of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, in fighting against the monster Grendel, his revengeful mother, and a fire-breathing dragon in his declining years. While fighting against the dragon, Beowulf was mortally wounded. However, he killed the dragon at the cost of his life. Beowulf is shown not only as a glorious hero but also as a protector of the people.2. Romance is a popular literary form in the medieval England. It sings knightly adventures or other heroic deeds. Chivalry (such as bravery, honor, generosity, and kindness to the weak and poor) is the spirit of romance.3. John Gower is the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the best romance of the period.William Langland is a more realistic writer who dealt with the religious and social issues of his day in Piers Plowman 《农夫皮尔斯》.4. Geoffry Chaucer is the greatest writer of Middle Ages. His masterpiece The Canterbury Tales《坎特伯蕾故事集》presents, for the first time in English literature, a comprehensive realistic picture of the medieval English society and creates a whole gallery of vivid characters from all walks of life. In ―The Canterbury Tales‖, Chaucer developed his art of poetry still further towards drama and the art of the novel. In Troilus and Criseyd, he gave the world what is virtually the first modern novel. Chaucer wrote in Middle English and did much in making London dialect the foundation for modern English language. Though essentially still a medieval writer, Chaucer bore marks of humanism and anticipated a new era to come. As a forerunner of humanism, he praises man’s energy, intellect, quick wit and love of life. His tales exposed and satirized the evils of his time. These tales attacked the degeneration of the noble, the heartlessness of the judge, the corruption of the church, etc. In his works, he developed his characterization to a higher level by presentingcharacters with both typical qualities and individual dispositions. ―The Wife of Bath‖ is a famous tale in whichthe heroine is depicted as the new bourgeois. Taking the standof the rising bourgeoisie, he affirms men and opposes the dogmaof asceticism preached by the church. Chaucer introduced from France rhymed stanzas of various types into English poetryto replace the Old English alliterative verse. It was he who used for the first time in English the rhymed couplet of iambic pentameter that was later called the ―heroic couplet‖. The Chaucer’s reputation has been securely established as one ofthe best English poets for his wisdom, humor, and humanity. John Dryden called Chaucer the father of English poetry.第二章文艺复兴时期的英国文学考点1. Renaissance refers to the transitional period from the medieval to the modern world. It first started in Italy inthe 14th century, lasting into the 17th century. The Renaissance means rebirth or revival. It was marked by a humanistic revival of ancient Roman and Greek classics expressed in a flowering of the arts and literature and bythe beginnings of modern science. Humanism is the essence ofthe Renaissance. The English Renaissance did not begin untilthe reign of Henry VI II. It was usually regarded as England’s Golden Age, especially in literature. Among the literary giants were Shakespeare, Spenser, Johnson, Sidney, Marlowe, Bacon and Donne, and John Milton was the last great poet ofthe English Renaissance. The real mainstream of the English Renaissance is the Elizabethan drama.2. Humanism is the essence of the Renaissance. It emphasizesthe dignity of human beings and the importance of the present life. Humanists voiced their beliefs that man was the centerof the universe and man did not only have the right to enjoythe beauty of the present life, but had the ability to perfect himself and to perform wonders.3. Petrarch was regarded as the fountainhead of literatureby the English writers. Wyatt introduced the Petrarchan sonnet into England. Surrey brought in blank verse（无韵体诗），i.e.the unrhymed iambic（抑扬格的）pentameter（五音步的）line.4. Renaissance drama: the Elizabethan drama is the realmainstream of the English Renaissance. English dramas were influenced by the Greek and Roman classics. Thomas Kyd wrote the earliest popular tragedy of blood and revenge, The Spanish Tragedy. The most famous dramatists in the Renaissance England are Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Ben Johnson. Elizabethan drama reache d its peak in Shakespeare’s works. Shakespeare’s compassionate understanding of the human fate has perpetuated his greatness and made him the representative figure of English literature for the whole world. Francis Bacon was the first important English essayist. He was the founder of modern science in England. His writing paved the way for the use of scientific method.5. University Wit refers to any of a notable group of pioneer English dramatists writing during the last 15 years of the 16th century. They transformed the native dramatic inheritance of interlude and chronicle play into a potentially great drama by writing plays of quality and diversity. In doing so they prepared the ground for genius of William Shakespeare. Their forerunner was John Lily, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Nashe, Robert Green, and Thomas Kyd, etc. All these writers except Thomas Kyd took degrees from universities like Oxford and Cambridge.6. Edmund Spenser: The Shepherd’s Calendar is his early work. Spenser’s masterpiece is the F aerie Queene 《仙后》, a great poem of its age. There are five main qualities in Spenser’s poetry: a perfect melody; a rare sense of beauty; a splendid imagination; a lofty moral purity and seriousness, and a dedicated idealism. It is Spenser’s idealism, his love of beauty, and his exquisite melody that earn him the title of ―the poets’ poet.‖ (诗人的诗人)The Faerie Queene is written in the stanza invented by Spenser himself, the Spenserian stanza, i.e., a stanza（诗的一节）of nine lines, with the first eight lines in iambic pentameter and the last line in iambic hexameter（六音步）, rhyming ababbcbcc.7.Christopher Marlowe:(1) As the most gifted of the ―University Wits‖, Marlowe composed six plays within his short lifetime. Among them the most important are: Tamburlaine, Dr. Faustus, The Jew of Malta and Edward II. Tamburlaine is a play about an ambitious and pitiless Tartar conqueror in the fourteenth century who rosefrom a shepherd to an overpowering king. By depicting a great hero with high ambition and sheer brutal force in conquering one enemy after another, Morlowe voiced the supreme desire of the man of the Renaissance for infinite power and authority. Dr. Faustus is a play based on the German legend of a magician aspiring for knowledge and finally meeting his tragic end as a result of selling his soul to the Devil. It celebrates the human passion for knowledge, power and happiness; it also reveals man’s frustration in realizing the high aspirations in a hostile moral order. And the confinement to time is the cruelest fact of man’s condition. The play is a good example to illustrate the idea that a man gains the whole world but loses his own soul.(2) Marlowe’s greatest literary achievement lies in that he perfected the blank verse and made it the principal medium of English drama. He brought vitality and grandeur into the blank verse with his ―mighty lines‖ which carry strong emotions. Marlowe’s second achievement is his creation of the Renaissance hero for English drama. Such hero is always individualistic and full of ambition, facing bravely the challenge from both gods and men. Such a hero embodies Marlowe’s humanistic ideal of human dignity and capacity. With the endless aspiration for power, knowledge, and glory, the hero embodies the true Renaissance spirit.8. William Shakespeare (1564—1616):(1) Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, into a merchant’s family in Stratford-on-Avon. In 1582, he got married and had three children. It was probably because he had to support his growing family that he left for London. Shakespeare wrote 38 plays, 154 sonnets and 2 long poems. He is the greatest dramatist of the English Renaissance. Shakespeare is above all writers in the past and in the present time. Robert Greene, one of the ―University Wits‖, resentfully declared him to be ―an upstart crow.‖ He died on April 23, 1616. Shakespeare is surpassingly great because his works never fail to bear a kind of closeness to human life and never fail to be the mirror reflecting human nature. Shakespeare is so great that maybe only Ben Johnson’s praising poem will somewhat cover his greatness: ―…Soul of the Age! The applause! delight! The wonder of our stage! Triumph, my Britain, thou hast one to show To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe. He was not of an age, but for all time!‖(2) Shakesp eare’s four dramatic periods:a. His first dramatic period was one of apprenticeship. He wrote five history plays: Henry VI, Parts I, II, and III, Richard III, and Titus Andronicus; and four comedies: The Comedy of Errors, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Taming of the Shrew, and Love’s Labour’s Lost.b. His second dramatic period was highly individualized. He wrote five history plays: Richard II, King John, Henry IV, Parts I and II, and Henry V; six comedies: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and The Merry Wives of Windsor; and two tragedies: Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar. Romeo and Juliet eulogizes the faithfulness of love and the spirit of pursuing happiness. The play, though a tragedy, is permeated with optimistic spirit. Shakespeare’s history plays of these two periods are mainly written under the principle that national unity under a mighty and just sovereign is a necessity.c. His third period includes his greatest tragedies and his so-called dark comedies. The tragedies of this period are: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, Troilus and Cressida, and Coriolanus. The two comedies are: All’s Well That Ends Well and Measure for Measure. Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth are Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies. They have some characteristics in common. Each tragedy portrays a noble hero, who faces the injustice of human life and is caught in a difficult situation and whose fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation. Each hero has his weakness of nature: Hamlet, the melancholic scholar-prince, faces the dilemma between action and mind; Othello’s inner weakness is made use of by the outside evil force; the old King Lear who is unwilling to totally give up his power makes himself suffer from treachery and infidelity. In King Lear, Shakespeare has not only made a profound analysis of the social crisis in which the evils can be seen everywhere, but also criticized the bourgeois egoism; an d Macbeth’s lust for power stirs ups his ambition and leads him to incessant crimes. In these tragedies Shakespeare portrays the weakness of each hero and shows the conflict between the individual and the evil force in the society.d. Shakespeare’s last p eriod includes romantic tragicomedies: Pericles，Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest, Henry VIII and The Two Noble Kinsmen. The Tempest is the best ofhis final romances. It typically shows Shakespeare’s pessimistic views towards human life and society in his late years.e. Shakespeare’s non-dramatic poetry consists of two long narrative poems: Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece，and 154 sonnets. Shakespeare’s sonnets are the only direct expression of the poet’s own feelings. His sonnets numbered 1-126 are addressed to a young man, Shakespea re’s beloved friend. The sonnets numbered 127-152 involve a mistress of Shakespeare, a mysterious ―Dark Lady‖. His sonnets’ most common themes concern the destructive effects of time, the quickness of physical decay, and the loss of beauty, vigor, and love. Sonnet 18 is one of Shakespeare’s most beautiful sonnets. In the poem he has a profound meditation on the destructive power of time and the eternal beauty brought forth by poetry to the one he loves. A nice summer’s day is usually transient, but the beauty in poetry can last for ever. Thus Shakespeare has a faith in the permanence of poetry. The rhyme of the poem is abab cdcd efef gg.(3) Shakespeare’s literary ideas:As a humanist writer, Shakespeare has accepted the Renaissance views on literature. He holds that literature should be a combination of beauty, kindness and truth, and should reflect nature and reality. He claims through the mouth of Hamlet that the ―end‖ of dramatic creation is to give faithful reflection of the social realities of the time. He also says that literary works which have truly reflected nature and reality can reach immortality.(4) The Merchant of Venice:The play has a double plot: an impoverished young man, Bassanio asks his friend, Antonio, for a loan so that he might marry Portia, a rich and beautiful heiress of Belmont. They fall in love with each other at first sight. Bassanio passes the test of the caskets and he chooses the right one containing Portia’s portrait. However, their rejoicing is interrupted by a letter fro m Antonio; Antonio’s money is all invested in mercantile expeditions. He has to borrow money from Shylock, the Jewish usurer. Shylock has made a strange bond requiring Antonio to surrender a pound of his flesh if he fails to repay him within a certain peri od of time. Antonio’s letter reads that his ships are lost at sea, and he is penniless, and will have to pay the pound of flesh. The most famous part of thecomedy is Act IV, Scene I. It is the major climax of the play. It takes place in a court of law at which Portia appears disguised as a young lawyer instructed to judge the case. She first appeals to Shylock to have mercy. But when he insists on the letter of the law, she lets him have it. He may take his pound of flesh, but there is no mention of blood in the bond; if he sheds a single drop of a Christian’s blood, his lands and goods will be confiscated by the State according to the law of Venice. Thus Antonio is saved, and Shylock has to undergo certain severe penalties, including compulsory conversion to Christianity. The traditional theme of the play is to praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty, wit and loyalty, and to expose the Insatiable greed and brutality of the Jew. But people today tend to regard the play as a satire of the Christian’s hypocrisy and their false standards, their cunning ways of pursuing worldliness and their unreasoning prejudice against Jews.(5) HamletHamlet is considered the greatest of Shakespeare’s tragedies. It has the qualities of a ―blood-and-thunder‖ thriller and a philosophical exploration of life and death. Shakespeare takes the bare outlines of Revenge Tragedy used in Thomas Kyd in his The Spanish Tragedy. The timeless appeal of Hamlet lies in its combination of intrigue, emotional conflict and searching philosophic melancholy. In the play Hamlet is urged by the ghost of his father (who is murdered by Claudius) to seek revenge. Hamlet hesitates in his revenge not because he is incapable of action, but because the cast of his mind is so speculative, so questioning, and so contemplative that action, when it finally comes, seems almost like defeat, diminishing rather than adding to the stature of the hero. He lives suspended between fact and fiction, language and action. For Hamlet, soliloquy is a natural medium，a necessary release of his anguish. ―To be or not to be‖ soliloquy is the best known and often felt to be central to Hamlet’s personality. It provides an excellent example of Hamlet not doing anything. In his case we can conclude that too much thinking makes action impossible. The play is also Shakespeare’s most detailed expose of a corrupted court----―an unweeded garden‖ in which there is nothing but ―a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours‖（汇集着各种罪恶肮脏的气体）.(6) MacbethMacbeth is one of Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies. He is introduced in the play as a warrior hero, whose fame on the battlefield wins him great honor from the king. His physical courage is joined by a consuming ambition and a tendency to self-doubt----the prediction that he will be king brings him joy, but it also creates inner turmoil. These three attributes----bravery, ambition, and self-doubt----struggle for mastery of Macbeth throughout the play. Shakespeare uses Macbeth to show the terrible effects that ambition and guilt can have on a man who lacks strength of character.(7) King LearLear’s basic flaw at the beginning of the play is that he values appearances above reality. He wants to be treated as a king and to enjoy the title, but he doesn’t want to fulfill a king’s obligations of governing for the good of his subjects. Similarly, his test of his daughters demonstrates that he values a flattering public display of love over real love. But his values do change over the course of the play. As he realizes his weakness and insignificance in comparison to the awesome forces of the natural world, he becomes a humble and caring individual. Eventually, Lear displays regret, remorse, empathy, and compassion for the poor, a population that Lear has not noticed before. He comes to cherish Cordelia above everything else and to place his own love for Cordelia above every other consideration, to the point that he would rather live in prison with her than rule as a king again. King Lear’s madness: The madness in King Lear enables him to realize the essence of a corrupt society, in which each is ready to destroy the other. He not only sympathizes with the poor but realizes for the first time with much remorse for his former tyranny and indifference toward the suffering multitude. The madness is also the course of Lear’s spiritual pilgrimage from arrogance into humiliation, misery, and finally a rebirth into a childlike simplicity and humility. Moreover, King Lear also presents Shakespeare’s affirmation of national unity and royal responsibility. Shakespeare seems to point out that the king, however great he might be, should be responsible to the people. If, in one way or another, he betrays the people’s trust, history will condemn him. It is just at this point, when he seems to have earned an innocent happiness, that his tragic suffering culminates, since Cordelia meets her deathin the very hour of victory.9. Francis BaconFrancis Bacon, a representative of the Renaissance in England, is a well-known philosopher, scientist and essayist. He lays the foundation for modern science with his insistence on scientific way of thinking and fresh observation rather than authority as a basis for obtaining knowledge. His Essays is the first example of that genre in English literature. Bacon borro wed the term ―essay‖ from Montaigne, the first great modern essayist, the predecessor of Bacon. The Advancement of Learning is a great tract on education. Here Bacon highly praises knowledge, refuting the objections to learning and outlining the problems with which his plan is to deal. Also he answers the charge that learning is against religion. Novum Organum (The New Instrument) is a successful treatise written in Latin on methodology. The argument is for the use of inductive method of reasoning (归纳推理的方法) in scientific study. Of Studies is the most popular of Bacon’s essays. It analyzes what studies chiefly serve for, the different ways adopted by different people to pursue studies, and how studies exert influence over human character. Forceful and persuasive, compact and precise, the essay reveals to us Bacon’s mature attitude towards learning. Famous quotations from Bacon: Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.10. Metaphysical Poetry（玄学派诗歌）The term ―metaphysical poetry‖ is commonly used to name the work of the 17th-century writers who wrote under the influence of John Donne. With a rebellious spirit, the metaphysical poets tried to break away from the conventional fashion of the Elizabethan love poetry. The diction is simple as compared with that of the Elizabethan or the Neoclassical periods, and echoes the words and cadences of common speech. The imagery is drawn from actual life. The form is frequently that of an argument with the poet’s beloved, with God, or with himself. Modern poets like T. S. Eliot, John Ransom, and Allen Tate are examples who have been mostly affected by the metaphysical influence. 11. metaphysical conceit: The metaphysical conceit, associated with the Metaphysical poets of the 17th century, is a more intricate and intellectual device. It sets up ananalogy, usually between one entity’s spiritual qualities and an object in the physical world, that sometimes controls the whole structure of the poem. For example, in John Donne’s A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning, two lovers’ souls are compared to a draftsman’s compass.11. John DonneJohn Donne is the leading figure of the ―metaphysical school‖. The most striking feature of Donne’s poetry is precisely its tang of reality, in the sense that it seems to reflect life in a real rather than a poetical world. John Donne is a religious poet. His great prose works are his sermons. It is the obsession with death that characterizes Donne’s mature religious works. The Songs and Sonnets is probably his best-known lyrics. Love is the basic theme. Donne holds that the nature of love is the union of soul and body. In his poetry, Donne frequently applies conceits（奇想/夸张的比喻）, i.e. extended metaphors involving dramatic contrasts. His poem, The Sun Rising, is taken from his Songs and Sonnets. The speaker in the poem is showing his annoyance at the sun entering the lover’s secret room without their approval. Also he me ans that lover’s schedule needn’t follow the sun’s movement. His poem, Death, Be Not Proud, is taken from his Holy Sonnets. The poem means that shortly after we die we will wake up (as from sleep) and live eternally. It reveals the poet’s belief in life af ter death: death is but momentary while happiness after death is eternal.12. John MiltonJohn Milton is a versatile writer. He wrote sonnets, elegies, long narrative poems, short lyrics, and prose works. His literary ambition of his youth was to write an epic which England would ―not willingly let die.‖ As a real revolutionary, a master poet and a great prose writer, Milton holds an important place in the history of English literature. His literary achievements can be divided into three groups: the early poetic works, the middle prose pamphlets and the last great poems. In his early works, Milton appears as the inheritor of all that was best in Elizabethan literature. Lycidas, an elegy dedicated to a drowned friend, is a typical example. His powerful pamphlets in his middle period make him the greatest prose writer of his age. Areopagitica 《论出版自由》is probably his most memorable prose work. It is a great plea for freedom of the press. But, Milton’s highestachievements were made in the final period of his writing career. In the last period, he wrote three major poetic works: Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes. Among the three, the first is the greatest, indeed the only generally acknowledged epic in English literature since Beowulf; and the last one is the most perfect example of the verse drama after the Greek style in English. Paradise Regained, a long narrative poem, tells how man, in the person of Christ, withstands the tempter and is established once more in the divine favor. In Samson Agonistes, a verse drama modeled on the Greek tragedy, Milton presents to us a picture of how Samson, the Israel’s mighty champion, brings destruction down upon the enemy at the cost of his own life. The whole poem strongly suggests Milton’s passionate longing like Samson’s that he too could bring destruction down upon the enemy at the cost of his own life. In this sense, Samson is Milton. Paradise Lost Paradise Lost, the only generally acknowledged epic in English since Beowulf, is Milton’s highest achieve ment (his masterpiece). The story is taken from the Bible. The theme of the epic is the ―Fall of Man,‖ i. e. man’s disobedience and the loss of Paradise, with its prime cause ---- Satan. It intends to expose the ways of Satan and to ―justify the ways of Go d to men.‖ In Heaven, Satan led a rebellion against God. Defeated, he and his angels were cast into Hell. However, Satan refused to accept his failure, vowing that ―all was not lost‖ and that he would seek revenge for his downfall. In order to achieve his ambition, Satan, in the shape of a snake, managed to tempt Adam and Eve, the first human beings created by God, to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge against God’s instruction. For their disobedience, Adam and Eve were driven out of Paradise. Satan is the real hero of the poem. Satan, in the image of a rebel, remains obeyed and admired by those who follow him down to hell. The features of his character include his boldness, unbending ambition and ―unconquerable will‖. The poem is full of biblical and classical allusions. The majesty of expression suits well the sublimity of the poet’s thought. John Milton’s style reminds one of Roman poet Virgil.第三章新古典主义时期的英国文学1. The Enlightenment Movement（启蒙主义运动）The eighteenth-century England is known as the Age ofEnlightenment or the Age of Reason. The Enlightenment Movement was a progressive intellectual movement which flourished in France and swept through Western Europe at the time. The movement was a furtherance of the 15th and 16th centuries. Its purpose was to enlighten the whole world with the light of modern philosophical and artistic ideas. The enlighteners celebrated reason or rationality, equality and science. They called for a reference to order, reason and rules and advocated universal education. Famous among the great enlighteners in England were those great writers like John Dryden（约翰﹒德莱顿）, Alexander Pope（亚历山大﹒蒲柏）, Joseph Addison（约瑟夫﹒艾迪森）and Sir Richard Steele（理查﹒斯蒂尔）, the two pioneers of familiar essays（随笔散文）, Jonathan Swift（乔纳森﹒斯威夫特）， Richard Bringsley Sheridan（谢拉丹）, Daniel Defoe（丹尼尔﹒笛福）, Henry Fielding（亨利﹒菲尔丁）and Samuel Johnson（塞缪尔﹒约翰逊）.2. Neoclassicism（新古典主义）In the field of literature, the Enlightenment Movement brought about a revival of interest in the old classical works. This tendency is known as neoclassicism. According to the neoclassicists（新古典主义者）, all forms of literature were to be modeled after the classical works of the ancient Greek and Roman writers (Homer, Virgil（维吉尔）, and so on.) and those of the contemporary French ones. They believed that the artistic ideals should be order, logic, restrained emotion and accuracy, and that literature should be judged in terms of its service to humanity. This belief led them to seek proportion（协调性）, unity（统一性）, harmony（和谐性）and grace （典雅性）in literary expressions, in an effort to delight, instruct and correct human beings, primarily as social animals. Thus, a polite, urbane，witty, and intellectual art developed. The middle part of the 18th century was predominated by a newly rising literary form---the modern English novel, which gives a realistic presentation of life of the common English people. This is the most significant phenomenon in the history of the development of English literature.3. The Graveyard School (墓地派诗歌)It refers to a school of poets of the 18th century whose poems are mostly devoted to a sentimental lamentation or meditation on life, past and present, with death and graveyard as themes.。
雪莱《西风颂》
There is a conscious echo here back to the clarion call of stanza 1: there the call was associated with Spring, and there are similar suggestions here of the proclamation of a new era in human society, preceded by the apocalyptic energy symbolized by the West Wind.
If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee; A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share
At this point there is a break in the poem, a radical shift of argument and a pulling together. Shelley likes himself, hypothetically, to a leaf, a cloud and a wave, subject to the force of the West Wind, and asks to be borne aloft with it: he may be talking about "inspiration" or "enthusiasm", both words which are derived from the sense of being filled with air, inflated, rising above experience and age.
1-神话世界
Cronus castrated his father Uranus and throwed his organs into the sea.
The birth of Aphrodite by Raphael
Cronus & Rhea
After wounding his father and taking away his power, Cronus became ruler of the universe. But Cronus, in turn, feared that his own son would supplant him. When his sister and wife Rhea gave birth to offspring—Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon—Cronus swallowed them. Only the youngest, Zeus, escaped this fate, because Rhea tricked Cronus. She gave him a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes to swallow in place of the baby.
英国文学史《西风颂》Ode_to_the_West_Wind赏析
Ode to the West Wind: Notes
• Written in the Autumn, 1819, and published in the following year, this poem has become one of the most popular and best-known of Shelley's verses. In a note Shelley outlined the circumstances behind the poem's making:
Ode to the West Wind: Notes
• This poem was conceived and chiefly written in a wood that skirts the Arno, near Florence, and on a day when the tempestuous wind, whose temperature is at once mild and animating, was collecting the vapours which pour down the autumnal rains. They began, as I foresaw, at sunset with a violent tempest of hail and rain, attended by that magnificent thunder and lightning peculiar to the Cisase unseen presence the leaves dead
Leaves here refer to trees and the wind-borne seeds, but the phrase also carries associations with paper (leaves from books?), the "withered leaves" (and "dead thoughts") referred to in stanza 5, which are driven across the universe by the power of the wind. The leaves here are dead and fall to the Earth, a recurrent theme in this stanza, but there they may give rise to new life.

The Sycamore Tree读后感中文
The Sycamore Tree读后感中文
故事在两个主人公的视角交叠变化中进行，同样的生活轨迹在两个人的眼中却呈现了截然不同的感情色彩。
朱莉，善良的女孩子，很小的时候就沦陷在了布莱斯透亮的眼眸里。
她喜欢问布莱斯头发里清新的西瓜香，他不理解；她喜欢养鸡，研究鸡蛋，他不理解；她喜欢那棵拼死都想保护它，他不理解；她从小就喜欢他，他更不理解。
应该说是布莱斯-直逃避去理解朱莉，所
以当布莱斯尝试迈出了解她的第一步的时候，潜意识里积累了很久的爱意便一发不可收拾。
可是朱莉这个时候却努力按捺住自己的情感。
看到后面，我承认我有些着急，不希望他们错过。
不过幸好，布莱斯在进行了一系列无用的尝试之后，终于悟到了一个正确的办法来讨回女孩的芳心。
既然当初我没有帮你守护你的树，让你失望了，那么现在我就重新种一棵我们的树。
在被砍掉到重新竖起小树苗的这个时间段里，我们的男主完成了他的-次成长，他们的爱情得到了完整的重生一不再是某一个人单方
面的主动，也不再有某一个人去退缩。
现实中的我们也是一样；两个人在一起更多的是互相包容和理解。
只有一方的付出或者包容都是很那长久的；爱情可以很美妙也可以很扎心，同时爱情也需要互相经营。
the natural garden 寓言故事
the natural garden 寓言故事庄园的主人先生在爱妻过世之后，变得阴郁古怪、消沉，掩埋了花园的钥匙，十年不曾允许任何人出人花园，想借此阻断对亡妻的思念。
他每次见到长着和妈妈一样漂亮面容的儿子柯林，都会引起更大的悲伤，于是他选择逃避，终年在外漂泊。
霍乱中父母双亡的玛丽一夜之间变成孤儿，被从印度送往英国克莱文姑父的庄园生活，她从小性情乖戾，这个陌生的环境更使她倍感孤独落寞，她讨厌所有的人，当然也不知道自己被人不喜欢。
她在的指引下找到了尘封已久的的钥匙。
秘密花园里一片萧瑟。
孤独的玛丽在女仆玛莎的鼓励下，开始尝试在庄园里寻找自己的乐趣。
她认识了性格乖戾但善良的花匠季元本和友好伶俐的知更鸟。
在知更鸟的指引下，玛丽找到了开启秘密花园的钥匙，在那里她结识了喜欢和动物交朋友的。
在迪肯的带领下，他们一起在秘密花园里耕种，使花园从此焕发出盎然生机，到处充满了大自然的魔力。
劳动和快乐使面色苍白的玛丽脸上泛起了健康的红润，食量慢慢增加，身体也变胖了，人也变得漂亮起来。
更为重要的是，她由霸道孤癖变得随和亲切，忘记了忧愁和痛苦。
在好奇心的引领下，玛丽又结识了忧郁悲观的少爷柯林，听着柯林伤心的哭泣，她耐心地宽慰他；面对柯林的粗暴无礼，她暴躁地训斥他，最终以自己的乐观感染了柯林，帮助他战胜了”心魔”，把他带进了生机盎然的秘密花园。
沉睡了十年的秘密花园在他们的辛勤劳动下苏醒了，”墙上、地上、树上、摇荡的枝条上、卷须上，已经爬上了小小嫩叶组成的无瑕的绿色面纱，草里，树下，凉亭里的灰色高脚花瓶，这处，那处，到处都是一点一点、一泼一泼的金色、紫色、白色，一棵棵树在他头上捧出团团粉红与雪白，有翅膀扑闪，隐约的甜美笛声，嗡嗡作响。
”那里百花盛开，绿草如茵，鸟儿凋啾，空气中弥漫着沁人心脾的芳香，他们在秘密花园里快乐地游戏，健康地成长。
柯林变成了一个英俊、生气勃勃的高个儿男孩。
在欧洲旅行的克莱文先生收到了索尔比夫人写给自己的信，证实了梦中他听到心爱的妻子让自己回到花园的甜美、清澈、快乐、遥远的召唤，最终重返庄园，找到了丢失已久的快乐。

All the Olympians are related in some way. They are named after their dwelling place, Mount Olympus. The Olympians Description ZeusZeus overthrew his Father Cronus. He then drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Zeus won the draw and became the supreme ruler of the gods. He is lord of the sky, the rain god. His weapon is a thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him. He is married to Hera but, is famous for his many affairs. He is also known to punish those that lie or break oaths.Poseidon Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of their FatherCronus he drew lots with Zeus and Hades, another brother, for shares of the world. His prize was to become lord of the sea. He was widely worshiped by seamen. He married Amphitrite, a granddaughter of the Titan Oceanus. At one point he desired Demeter. To put him off Demeter asked him to make the most beautiful animal that the world had ever seen. So to impress her Poseidon created the first horse. In some accounts his first attempts were unsuccessful and created a variety of other animals in his quest. By the time the horse was created his passion for Demeter had cooled. His weapon is a trident, which can shake the earth, and shatter any object. He is second only to Zeus in power amongst the gods. He has a difficult quarrelsome personality. He was greedy. He had a series of disputes with other gods when he tried to take over their cities. Hades is the brother of Zeus.
