最糟的是他爱赶时髦。
我认为，赶时髦就是最缺乏理智的表现。

![Lesson 5 Love is a Fallacy[1]](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/1262210ab52acfc789ebc9b5.png)
• Logical fallacy:
• • • • • • • • • • • An argument in logic presents evidence in support of some thesis or conclusion. An argument has two components: 1. a conclusion, the thesis argued for 2. certain premises, the considerations adduced (put forward) on behalf of the conclusion When premises provide evidence for conclusion, the argument is valid; When a conclusion can not be deduced from premises, the argument is invalid, it is a fallacy. An argument may be fallacious in three ways: material fallacy: misstatement of the facts in material context; verbal fallacy: incorrect use of terms in wording formal fallacy: the use of improper process of inference in structure or form.
• Para. 2 • Q: What are the components of an essay? • Who are Carlyle and Ruskin?

Logical fallacy:逻辑谬论 逻辑论证，即提出支持某些论题或结论的论据。 论证有两个部分组成：论点所支持的结论，与引 证结论的某些前提。而结论是经由前提所推导出 来的。当前提为结论提供确凿证据时，论据的演 绎推理便有效；反之则会成为谬论。成为谬误的 方式有三种：a内容，即事实陈述错误；b措词， 即术语使用错误；c结构（或形式），即推导过程 错误。那么，逻辑谬误可分为三类，即内容 （material）谬误，措词（verbal）谬误以及形 式（formal）谬误。
However, he is probably best remembered for his creation of the character "Dobie Gillis", who was the subject of a series of short stories compiled under the title, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which became the basis for a CBS television series of the same name, and had previously been the subject of a film, The Affairs of Dobie Gillis (1953). Shulman was also the writer of the series' theme song. The same year that the series began, 1959, a novel continuing the adventures of Dobie and his friends, I Was a Teenage Dwarf, was published. (Its title was a takeoff on what is now seen as a "schlock horror" classic, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, starring Michael Landon.)
Unit 5 Love is a Fallacy
Unit 5Love Is a FallacyMax ShulmanTeaching TipsThe most important take-home lesson of this essay is Shulman‟s mock-serious tone. Shulman pokes fun at the pomposity of his character, Dobie Gillis, a law school freshman, but what Shulman really gets at is the conceitedness of self-styled “learned” people. He shows that what they think they know can backfire, leaving them with nothing but awkwardness. The second lesson is how Shulman achieves his humor. Call students‟ attention to the contrast between the language used by Gillis and Espy, for example, Gill is‟s pedantic tone and Espy‟s relaxed colloquialisms. Shulman is also an excellent storyteller, so spend some time discussing with your students how Shulman brings his characters alive, how he keeps the pace of the story fast by using ellipses, inversions, short sentences, etc., and how the essay ends on a high note with climax and anti-climax.Before the week starts, ask your students to think about what the title could possible mean, and what they can predict about the essay just from the title. It is also a good idea to ask them to attribute a few adjectives to each character after their first reading (skimming) of the text, and then to add supporting evidence from their second close reading of it. In addition, during the preview stage, you can ask your students to list the logical fallacies that Gillis and Espy discuss in their meetings together. If time permits/Time permitting, students can put on a play in class to recreate the essay, using their preview notes as a guide. Before the weekends, leave time to ask the students to think about the essay as a whole and discuss the take-home lessons. Enjoy!Structure of the TextI. Section One: The author mocks at his own essay and introduces his subject matter. Hecreates suspense by telling the readers that the essay will demonstrate that other side of logic.(Paras. 1-3)II. Section Two: The beginning part of the story establishes the characters and setting and introduces the conflict.1. The narrator Dobie Gillis, a college freshman, introduces himself and his roommate PeteyBurch. Burch yearns for a raccoon coat, which happens to be in fashion on campus, and is willing to give anything for it. (Paras. 4-40)2. Gillis finds a raccoon coat and persuades Burch to let go his girlfriend Polly Espy inreturn for the coat. (Paras. 41-59)III. Section Three: Gillis endeavors to turn Espy into a worthy lawyer‟s wife.1. Gillis has his first date with Espy and tries to teach her a few logical fallacies. Espyseems to have a logic-proof head. Gillis debates if he should give up but decides to give it one more try. (Paras. 60-98)2. In the second date and the following week, Gillis plunges ahead with his logic lessonswith Espy, who finally understands the fallacies. (Paras. 99-124)IV. Section Four: Gillis asks Polly Espy to be his girlfriend, but is refused on the basis of logic. What he has taught Espy backfires on him. (Paras. 125-154)Detailed Analysis of the Text1.Charles Lamb, as merry and enterprising a fellow as you will meet in a month of Sundays,unfettered the informal essay with his memorable Old China and Dream’s Children. (Para.1)month of Sundays: (colloquial) a long time, quite a whileParaphrase: Charles Lamb is the sort of cheerful, lively, original, and imaginative person one rarely encounters. He wrote “Old China” and “Dream‟s Children,” which set free the informal essay. ( That is, meant that there was now much more latitude in the way one could write such an essay. Lamb‟s example freed the informal essay from conventions that had previously applied.)Translation: 像查尔斯·兰姆这样快乐和富有创新精神的人物并不常见，他写了《古瓷》和《梦中的孩子》两篇文章，这两篇文章可以说解放了散文。
