浅谈杰出女性英语介绍:撒切尔夫人
杰出女性英语介绍:撒切尔夫人导读:玛格丽特·希尔达·撒切尔,英国右翼政治家,第49任英国首相,1979年-1990年在任,她是至今为止英国唯一一位女首相,也是自19世纪初利物浦伯爵以来连任时间最长的英国首相。
她的政治哲学与政策主张被通称为“撒切尔主义”,在任首相期间,对英国的经济、社会与文化面貌作出了既深且广的改变。
在担任首相前后高姿态地反对共产主义,而被前苏联媒体戏称为“铁娘子”。
铁娘子撒切尔夫人Margaret Thatcherborn: 13-10-1925birth place: LincolnshireThe daughter of a businessman and mayor of Grantham, she was educated at the local grammar school, and at Oxford, where she obtained a degree in chemistry, and was president of the Conservative Association.Upon graduation she worked for four years as a research chemist. She then qualified as a barrister, specialising in taxation law, in 1954.As Miss Margaret Roberts, she stood twice in parliamentary elections for the Conservative Party, before being elected (after her marriage) to the House of Commons, in 1959, as Member for Finchley.Thatcher's first ministerial appointment came in 1961, and she quickly became a front-bench spokesman for her party, and member of the Shadow Cabinet.When the Conservatives returned to office in June 1970, she was appointed secretary of state for education and science, becoming famous as "Thatcher, milk snatcher", after her abolition of the universal free school milk scheme.After the Conservatives lost power in 1974, she was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet, and was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975.In May 1979 she became Britain's first female prime minister, after the Conservatives regained power from Labour.In power, she was best known for her destruction of Britain’s traditional industries, through her attacks on labour organisations such as the miner’s union, and for the massive privatisation of social housing and public transport. Also for her right-wing, pro-corporate alliance with US President Regan.She resigned on November 28, 1990, after her disastrous attempt to implement a fixed rate local tax (Poll Tax), and to disenfranchise those who did not pay it, led to huge popular protest, and disapproval from within her party.In 1992, she was appointed to the House of Lords, as Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.In the last few years she has been occupied by writing and by lucrative speaking engagements. Her increasingly poor health has forced her to cut back on public engagements more recently.。

翻译硕士英语百科知识名词解释
主要英国国家概况英国诺曼征服(Norman Conquest)以法国北部诺曼底公爵威廉为首的法国封建主对英国的征服。
1066年初,英王忏悔者爱德华(1042~1066在位)死后无嗣,威塞克斯伯爵哈罗德二世被推选为国王。
威廉以爱德华曾面许继位为理由,要求获得王位。
率兵入侵英国。
英王哈罗德迎战。
英军战败,哈罗德阵亡,伦敦城不战而降。
12月25日,威廉在伦敦威斯敏斯特教堂加冕为英国国王,即威廉一世(征服者)。
诺曼王朝(1066~1154)开始对英国的统治。
残存的英国贵族顽强抵抗,均遭残酷镇压。
1071年,威廉一世巩固了他的统治,获得征服者的称号。
诺曼征服加速英国封建化的进程。
威廉一世建立起强大的王权统治,没收反抗的盎格鲁萨克逊贵族土地,分封给随他而来的法国封建主。
通过这种土地分封建立起封建土地的等级所有制。
威廉一世还极力摆脱教皇对英国教会的干涉,把英国教会控制在自己手中。
在统治机构、法律上仍沿用英王旧制。
诺曼征服后,在英国出现了封建庄园,封建领主是庄园最高统治者,大部分农民丧失人身自由,沦为农奴。
引进法国文化,语言,建筑。
《大宪章》(Great Charter),1215年6月15日(一说1213)英王约翰被迫签署的宪法性的文件。
其宗旨为保障封建贵族的政治独立与经济权益。
又称《自由大宪章》或《1215大宪章》。
这张书写在羊皮纸卷上的文件在历史上第一次限制了封建君主的权力,日后成为了英国君主立宪制的法律基石。
百年战争(Hundred Years' War)是指英国和法国,以及后来加入的勃艮第,于1337年 - 1453年间的战争,是世界最长的战争,断断续续进行了长达116年。
战争胜利使法国完成民族统一,为日后在欧洲大陆扩张打下基础;英格兰几乎丧失所有的法国领地,但也使英格兰的民族主义兴起。
原因:12~13世纪,法国国王逐渐夺回部分被英王占领的土地。
14世纪初,英国仍占据法国南部阿基坦地区,成为法国政治统一的最大障碍,法国人试图把英国人由法国西南部赶走,从而统一法国。

撒切尔夫人的英语作文
撒切尔夫人的英语作文Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, was atransformative figure in British politics. Born on October 13, 1925, in Grantham, Lincolnshire, she rose to prominence asthe leader of the Conservative Party and became the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister in the United Kingdom, serving from 1979 to 1990.Thatcher's leadership was marked by her uncompromising approach to politics, which earned her the nickname "The Iron Lady." Her policies, often summarized under the term "Thatcherism," included deregulation, privatization of state-owned industries, and a strong emphasis on free-market capitalism. She was a staunch advocate for individual liberty and personal responsibility.One of Thatcher's most significant achievements was her rolein ending the Cold War. Her close relationship with U.S. President Ronald Reagan and her unwavering stance against communism played a crucial part in the eventual collapse ofthe Soviet Union. Her famous statement, "We want a worldwhere we are free to make our own choices and to live our own lives," encapsulated her belief in personal freedom and democracy.However, her tenure was not without controversy. The miners' strike of 1984-1985, which led to violent clashes between miners and the police, remains a divisive episode in Britishhistory. Additionally, her support for the Falklands War, which saw Britain reclaim the disputed Falkland Islands from Argentina, was a defining moment of her premiership.Thatcher's legacy is a complex tapestry of economic reforms, social changes, and political confrontations. She was a polarizing figure, revered by some for her decisive leadership and derided by others for her uncompromising policies. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Margaret Thatcher left an indelible mark on the United Kingdom and the world stage.In conclusion, Margaret Thatcher's time as Prime Minister was a period of significant change for Britain.

• An ideology based on “personal freedom, selfreliance, strong defense, low taxes, no (trade) union tyranny, no nanny state.”
Thatcher – The Person
• Thatcher’s father was a local politician, who taught her the values of thrift, self-help, and hard work. • She presented herself as a conventional, upper middle class woman. • She was elected as the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, and became the UK’s first female Prime Minister in 1979.
The Strikes
• By 12th March 1984, 81 of the 163 coal mines had decided to go on strike.
• This lead to a stand-off between the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), lead by Arthur Scargill, and Thatcher. The strikers formed pickets, and were often in conflict with the police. • Let’s watch a short video to see how violent such conflicts became.
• Q: Why did she do this? • Q: How do you think the public viewed these sales?
Trade Unions and Thatcher
• Thatcher felt trade unions had became too powerful. In fact, they lead to the defeat of previous Conservative governments during the 1970s. Thatcher would not allow this to happen again.
Was she popular?
• At first, absolutely not! • After coming to power, she reduced government spending, allowed the British Pound (GBP) to continue floating, cut industrial subsidies (money paid to help certain industries), sold off cheap government housing, and the unemployment rate increased sharply to nearly 12% of the workforce. • Thatcher was stubborn, telling those around her: “U-turn if you want to, the Lady’s not for turning.” • Following the 1981 annual budget report, she removed many cabinet members who did not agree with her ideology.
Background
• The UK had became more collectivist following the Second World War, focusing on industrial nationalisation and the welfare state. • Successive governments had intervened in the economy so much that it had crowded out private enterprise. • The Times newspaper reported that before Thatcher came to power, the UK faced a “national pessimism bordering on despair”. • Britain was facing up to the reality of no longer being a global power, or even a continental one. • People may look back on the 1970s with some fond memories, but the general standard of living was relatively low.
The Result
• Despite Scargill’s best efforts, this timeБайду номын сангаасthe government emerged victorious, effectively outlasting the miners.
• By February 1985, many mine workers felt forced to go back to work, and by March a deal was struck with the government.

Part 2 – Interactive Lecture
Something to think about….
• Thatcher always claimed to carry a piece of paper, with a quote from Abraham Lincoln handwritten on it. • The quote reads: “You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift (节约). You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.” • What do you think this tells us about Thatcher’s political ideology?
• Trade unions were usually backed by the Labour Party, which Thatcher viewed with fear.
Trade Unions
• In brief, trade unions protect workers’ rights. • They stand up for workers’ on issues of salary, pensions, working conditions, legal issues, mistreatment, and government policy. • They are commonplace in most Western countries.
“Thatcherism” – In Simple Terms
