Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Then I saw in my dream, that when they were got out of the wilderness, they presently saw a town before them, and the name of that town is Vanity; and at the town there is a fair kept, called Vanity Fair ;it is kept all the year long; it bearth the name of Vanity Fair because the town where it is kept is lighter than vanity; and also because all that is there sold, or that cometh thither, is vanity. As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of Vanity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the Vanity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2. Make a comment on the themes of Ulysses by James Joyce.8。

第5单元冒险小说作家Daniel Defoe1.Do you find the description of Crusoe’s setting up the tent convincing?Could you think of better ways to build a shelter in his situation?Key:Yes,I think it is convincing.Crusoe takes everything into his consideration and makes sure his shelter is comfortable and safe.He takes advantage of the natural resources.Perhaps,there is no way to build a better one than his.2.What do you think of Crusoe’s way of marking time?Why is it important for him to keep track of time?Key:I think it’s a good way.The reason is that Crusoe is a civilized man and time is very valuable to him. In fact,he represents the hard-working middle class,and has the sense of working hard and cherishing time.3.From this excerpt,what do you find admirable in Robinson Crusoe?Key:From this excerpt,we can find many admirable characteristics in Robinson Crusoe.He is adventurous,practical,thoughtful,hard-working,brave,shrewd, energetic,optimistic,strong-minded and kind-hearted…Under the special circumstance,Crusoe shows many good and valuable qualities of human beings.Jonathan Swift1.In what ways are Yahoos comparable to human beings in Gulliver’s Travels? Comment on the Houyhnhnms’attitude toward human beings.Key:Both human beings and Yahoos are warlike,greedy,jealous,gluttonous and filthy…What’s more,they eat everything that they can find no matter the food is good or bad for them;they would be sick because of nastiness and greediness; they would suffer from depression because of their idleness;the female Yahoos have nasty qualities,such as lewdness,coquetry,censure and scandal.Yahoos and human beings have many features in common.The Houyhnhnms’attitude toward human beings is critical,malicious and objective.They are not slandering,for human beings indeed have all the defects that the Houyhnhnms have mentioned.It seems that they know about human beings clearly and they compare Yahoos and humankind in a very elaborative way. Their points of view are very convincing.2.What are the symbolic meanings of Yahoos and Houyhnhnms?Key:Yahoos and Houyhnhnms represent the evil human nature and good qualities of humankind respectively.。

英语小说阅读《鲁宾逊漂流记》选文

英语小说阅读《鲁宾逊漂流记》选文英语小说阅读《鲁宾逊漂流记》选文《鲁滨逊漂流记》是英国作家丹尼尔·笛福的一部长篇小说。

该书首次出版于1719年4月25日。

该作主要讲述了主人公鲁滨逊·克鲁索(Robinson Crusoe)出生于一个中产阶级家庭，一生志在遨游四海。

一次在去非洲航海的'途中遇到风暴，只身漂流到一个无人的荒岛上，开始了段与世隔绝的生活。

他凭着强韧的意志与不懈的努力，在荒岛上顽强地生存下来，经过28年2个月零19天后得以返回故乡。

IN a little time, however, no more canoes appearing, the fear of their coming wore off; and I began to take my former thoughts of a voyage to the main into consideration; being likewise assured by Friday's father that I might depend upon good usage from their nation, on his account, if I would go. But my thoughts were a little suspended when I had a serious discourse1 with the Spaniard, and when I understood that there were sixteen more of his countrymen and Portuguese2, who having been cast away and made their escape to that side, lived there at peace, indeed, with the savages4, but were very sore put to it for necessaries, and, indeed, for life. I asked him all the particulars of their voyage, and found they were a Spanish ship, bound from the Rio de la Plata to the Havanna, being directed to leave their loading there, which was chiefly hides and silver, and to bring back what European goods they could meet with there; that they had five Portuguese seamen5 on board, whom they took out of another wreck6; that five of their own men were drowned when first the ship was lost, and that these escaped through infinite dangers and hazards, and arrived, almost starved, on the cannibal coast, where they expected to have been devoured7 every moment. He told me they had some arms with them, but they were perfectly8useless, for that they had neither powder nor ball, the washing of the sea having spoiled all their powder but a little, which they used at their first landing to provide themselves with some food.I asked him what he thought would become of them there, and if they had formed any design of making their escape. He said they had many consultations9 about it; but that having neither vessel10 nor tools to build one, nor provisions of any kind, their councils always ended in tears and despair. I asked him how he thought they would receive a proposal from me, which might tend towards an escape; and whether, if they were all here, it might not be done. I told him with freedom, I feared mostly their treachery and ill-usage of me, if I put my life in their hands; for that gratitude11 was no inherent virtue12 in the nature of man, nor did men always square their dealings by the obligations they had received so much as they did by the advantages they expected. I told him it would be very hard that I should be made the instrument of their deliverance, and that they should afterwards make me their prisoner in New Spain, where an Englishman was certain to be made a sacrifice, what necessity or what accident soever brought him thither13; and that I had rather be delivered up to the savages, and be devoured alive, than fall into the merciless claws of the priests, and be carried into the Inquisition. I added that, otherwise, I was persuaded, if they were all here, we might, with so many hands, build a barque large enough to carry us all away, either to the Brazils southward, or to the islands or Spanish coast northward14; but that if, in requital15, they should, when I had put weapons into their hands, carry me by force among their own people, I might be ill-used for my kindness to them, and make my case worse than it was before.He answered, with a great deal of candour andingenuousness16, that their condition was so miserable17, and that they were so sensible of it, that he believed they would abhor18 the thought of using any man unkindly that should contribute to their deliverance; and that, if I pleased, he would go to them with the old man, and discourse with them about it, and return again and bring me their answer; that he would make conditions with them upon their solemn oath, that they should be absolutely under my direction as their commander and captain; and they should swear upon the holy sacraments and gospel to be true to me, and go to such Christian19 country as I should agree to, and no other; and to be directed wholly and absolutely by my orders till they were landed safely in such country as I intended, and that he would bring a contract from them, under their hands, for that purpose. Then he told me he would first swear to me himself that he would never stir from me as long as he lived till I gave him orders; and that he would take my side to the last drop of his blood, if there should happen the least breach20 of faith among his countrymen. He told me they were all of them very civil, honest men, and they were under the greatest distress21 imaginable, having neither weapons nor clothes, nor any food, but at the mercy and discretion22 of the savages; out of all hopes of ever returning to their own country; and that he was sure, if I would undertake their relief, they would live and die by me.Upon these assurances, I resolved to venture to relieve them, if possible, and to send the old savage3 and this Spaniard over to them to treat. But when we had got all things in readiness to go, the Spaniard himself started an objection, which had so much prudence23 in it on one hand, and so much sincerity24 on the other hand, that I could not but be very well satisfied in it; and,by his advice, put off the deliverance of his comrades for at least half a year. The case was thus: he had been with us now about a month, during which time I had let him see in what manner I had provided, with the assistance of Providence25, for my support; and he saw evidently what stock of corn and rice I had laid up; which, though it was more than sufficient for myself, yet it was not sufficient, without good husbandry, for my family, now it was increased to four; but much less would it be sufficient if his countrymen, who were, as he said, sixteen, still alive, should come over; and least of all would it be sufficient to victual our vessel, if we should build one, for a voyage to any of the Christian colonies of America; so he told me he thought it would be more advisable to let him and the other two dig and cultivate some more land, as much as I could spare seed to sow, and that we should wait another harvest, that we might have a supply of corn for his countrymen, when they should come; for want might be a temptation to them to disagree, or not to think themselves delivered, otherwise than out of one difficulty into another. "You know," says he, "the children of Israel, though they rejoiced at first for their being delivered out of Egypt, yet rebelled even against God Himself, that delivered them, when they came to want bread in the wilderness26.His caution was so seasonable, and his advice so good, that I could not but be very well pleased with his proposal, as well as I was satisfied with his fidelity27; so we fell to digging, all four of us, as well as the wooden tools we were furnished with permitted; and in about a month's time, by the end of which it was seed-time, we had got as much land cured and trimmed up as we sowed two-and-twenty bushels of barley28 on, and sixteen jars of rice, which was, in short, all the seed we had to spare: indeed,we left ourselves barely sufficient, for our own food for the six months that we had to expect our crop; that is to say reckoning from the time we set our seed aside for sowing; for it is not to be supposed it is six months in the ground in that country.Having now society enough, and our numbers being sufficient to put us out of fear of the savages, if they had come, unless their number had been very great, we went freely all over the island, whenever we found occasion; and as we had our escape or deliverance upon our thoughts, it was impossible, at least for me, to have the means of it out of mine. For this purpose I marked out several trees, which I thought fit for our work, and I set Friday and his father to cut them down; and then I caused the Spaniard, to whom I imparted my thoughts on that affair, to oversee29 and direct their work. I showed them with what indefatigable30 pains I had hewed31 a large tree into single planks32, and I caused them to do the like, till they made about a dozen large planks, of good oak, near two feet broad, thirty-five feet long, and from two inches to four inches thick: what prodigious33 labour it took up any one may imagine.At the same time I contrived34 to increase my little flock of tame goats as much as I could; and for this purpose I made Friday and the Spaniard go out one day, and myself with Friday the next day (for we took our turns), and by this means we got about twenty young kids to breed up with the rest; for whenever we shot the dam, we saved the kids, and added them to our flock. But above all, the season for curing the grapes coming on, I caused such a prodigious quantity to be hung up in the sun, that, I believe, had we been at Alicant, where the raisins35 of the sun are cured, we could have filled sixty or eighty barrels; and these, with our bread, formed a great part of our food-very good livingtoo, I assure you, for they are exceedingly nourishing.It was now harvest, and our crop in good order: it was not the most plentiful36 increase I had seen in the island, but, however, it was enough to answer our end; for from twenty-two bushels of barley we brought in and thrashed out above two hundred and twenty bushels; and the like in proportion of the rice; which was store enough for our food to the next harvest, though all the sixteen Spaniards had been on shore with me; or, if we had been ready for a voyage, it would very plentifully37 have victualled our ship to have carried us to any part of the world; that is to say, any part of America. When we had thus housed and secured our magazine of corn, we fell to work to make more wicker-ware, viz. great baskets, in which we kept it; and the Spaniard was very handy and dexterous39 at this part, and often blamed me that I did not make some things for defence of this kind of work; but I saw no need of it.And now, having a full supply of food for all the guests I expected, I gave the Spaniard leave to go over to the main, to see what he could do with those he had left behind him there. I gave him a strict charge not to bring any man who would not first swear in the presence of himself and the old savage that he would in no way injure, fight with, or attack the person he should find in the island, who was so kind as to send for them in order to their deliverance; but that they would stand by him and defend him against all such attempts, and wherever they went would be entirely40 under and subjected to his command; and that this should be put in writing, and signed in their hands. How they were to have done this, when I knew they had neither pen nor ink, was a question which we never asked. Under these instructions, the Spaniard and the old savage, the father of Friday,went away in one of the canoes which they might be said to have come in, or rather were brought in, when they came as prisoners to be devoured by the savages. I gave each of them a musket41, with a firelock on it, and about eight charges of powder and ball, charging them to be very good husbands of both, and not to use either of them but upon urgent occasions.This was a cheerful work, being the first measures used by me in view of my deliverance for now twenty-seven years and some days. I gave them provisions of bread and of dried grapes, sufficient for themselves for many days, and sufficient for all the Spaniards- for about eight days' time; and wishing them a good voyage, I saw them go, agreeing with them about a signal they should hang out at their return, by which I should know them again when they came back, at a distance, before they came on shore. They went away with a fair gale42 on the day that the moon was at full, by my account in the month of October; but as for an exact reckoning of days, after I had once lost it I could never recover it again; nor had I kept even the number of years so punctually as to be sure I was right; though, as it proved when I afterwards examined my account, I found I had kept a true reckoning of years.。

英国文学Book Report robinson crusoe

Book Report (1) ---Robinson CrusoeRobinson Crusoe, written in 1719, is commonly considered as the first novel in English literary history. Its author, Daniel Defoe, is known as a pioneer novelist of England, and also a prolific writer of books and pamphlets on a great variety of subjects.When I read Robinson Crusoe for the first time during my childhood, I only thought that it was an adventure story, fantastic and really inspirational: a man built up a good life from nothing in an isolated island. However, as I grow older, with more knowledge base and a wider horizon, I am able to see this story from another perspective. Reading the English version of this story really benefits me a lot and enables me to go deeper into the essence of the book. Through a slow reading, I can fully appreciate the beauty of English language and ponder deeply over the meaning of every single sentence.Giving thought to Defoe’s personal experience and the social backdrop of the 18th England, I think that Robinson Crusoe is not so much a hero as an admirable and successful representative of that time’s colonist. What Robinson does to the deserted island is what the European colonist does to the Africa, America and Asia. I will display my arguments in the following paragraphs from different aspects.First of all, Robison has certain characters that make him a good colonist. First, he is rebellious and adventurous, that is to say, he tends to depart from tradition and is willing to risk his life exploring new places. Robinson belongs to a middle family, and his father, who is a business man, wants him to leading a common life and takes a decent job as a lawyer. However, Robinson is dying to be a sailor, exploring the mysterious sea, the unknown. He flies away without telling his parents and from then on, he lives a dangerous but interesting life. His adventurous spirits can also be seen from the fact that he begins a new adventure after he has a plenty of wealth in the Brazil plantation. Second, he is equipped with a wide rang of knowledge and skills as well as some advanced techniques from a more civilized country. When Robinson arrives at the isolated island, he is left along, but, the wrecked ship is near shore and contains a good quantity of useful items that helps Robinson out of the most difficult period in the island. Moreover, Robinson has a bright head with a variety of knowledge, from survive in the wild place to build a shelter, from distinguish edible food to grow crops and raise livestock himself, from make bread to pottery, etc. Third, he has a colonial mind, which manifests clearly in his colonial activities I would like to discuss at next two paragraphs.Next, it is his occupation to the land that makes him similar to those colonists. Since Robinson has been living in the island for many years, and he turned the once waste land into a fertile place, he always regarded himself as “King of the island”. When he finds the footprints of other men in the island, he feels offended and threatened because his territory is under danger. In fact, those wild men, although savage, are the aborigines of the island. Moreover, the method that he use to defend his “holly”land is rightly a colonial one: he uses the gun, an item from superior civilizations. Sometimes, a place becomes colonized only because this single reasons that their weapons could not match the invaders’.Finally, he performed culture transformation on Friday, a wild man he saves. He teaches Friday spoke English but never show any interest in the native language that Friday speaks; he put efforts in convert Friday Christian but despises the belief of Friday’s; he also instructs Friday some skills and turn surprised when he finds that Friday can do something better than him. One thing that the colonists usually do is to spread their culture, which causes the natives lose theiridentity gradually. Of course, what Robinson has done reflects his discriminations toward other races, for in his mind, his deeds are for Friday’s benefits and he behaves like a colonist unconsciously. Friday is uncivilized and savage. It is his honor to be a slave for his wise master. There some other things that I would like to mention. Robinson is definitely a devout puritan, just like the author, Daniel Defoe. He believes that he can make a good life through his hard work. He is so devoted to his belief that he reads the Bible twice a day. He believes that the God is on his side that helps him to conquer the nature as well as other races. We also can see other traces of Defoe in the novel, such as Robinson’s being a business man at a time and limiting to the island like imprisoned from the civil society. The colorful life of Defoe adds to the novel’s charm and glamour. If we want to write something attractive, a deep thought and varies experiences are necessary.At last, Robinson is too indifference for me to love him. To his parents, he disobeys his elderly parents’ wills and flies away without considering the anxieties and worries that his parents will have. Moreover, he never tries to give his parents a word from him during his travel. To Friday, his loyal and sincere friend, he lacks of considerate and true care. When he gets married and has children, he behaves not like a husband and father, but a protector.In conclusion, Robinson Crusoe is similar to colonist and very indifference.

What lessons can we learn from Bacon ’s< of studies> in our access to information?Our planet is developing forward. That is the external condition for our study, which we can appropriately make full use of. But what we have to keep in mind is that the eternal master of study is no one but ourselves in the process of studying.??就是随着时代的脚步进步，充分利?资源[2.] In what sense does reading make a full man?Reading makes a full man. Histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.3 P32 [Paradise Lost][John Milton]缺失4 P60 [I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud][William Wordsworth][1.] What is the relation between the poet and nature as described in the poem?Theme of Happiness.The poet is really enjoy the nature.[2. ] Do you think nature can have healing effect on mind?I think nature can have healing effect on mind, but the precondition is that the nature should be peaceful and earthly.5 P102 [Great Exception][Charles Dickens][1.]Magwitch the “the convict” takes the risk of being “hanged” when comes back to London to see Pip.

It reminds the reader of the actual reality of the physical world and also the different stages of Mrs. Dalloway’s life.The implication of “strikes” and “circles”.The novel is a life story of Mrs. Dalloway, is about the human life and is about its tension between misery and happiness.PART three 术语解释1.Heroic couplet or couplet： It is a term in poetry applied to two successive line of verse that form a single unit because they rhyme; the term also is often used for lines that express a complete thought or form a separate stanza. Couplets in English are usually written in ten-syllable (decasyllabic) lines, a form first used by the 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. This evolved into the so-called heroic couplet, two rhyming iambic pentameter lines, is also called a closed couplet because the meaning and the grammatical structure are complete within two lines.英雄双?体A rhyming couplet of iambic pentameter, often “closed”, i.e. containing a complete thought, there being a fairly heavy pause at the end of the first line and a still heavier one at the end of the second. Commonly there is a parallel orantithesis within a line, or between the two lines. It is heroic because in England, especially in the eighteenth century, it was much used for heroic (epic) poems.举例Th e Canterbury Tales Chaucer 1386-1400He wore a fustian tunic stained and darkWith smudges where his amount had left mark;He had just come back from his voyageAnd now was going on this pilgrimage.2.Soliloquy is a speech that reveals a character’s innermost feelings and plans while other characters remain unaware of what he is saying.独?A dramatic speech intended to give the illusion of unspoken reflections举例Hamlet Shakespeare 1601Hamlet To be or not to be-that is a question:…….And lose the name of action.3. Sonnet derives from the Italian sonetto a “little sound” or “song”. The ordinary sonnet consists of fourteen lines, usually in iambic pentameters with considerable variations in rhyme scheme.The three basic sonnet forms are: a) the Petrarchan which comprises an octave rhyming abbaabba and a sestet rhyming cdecde or cdcdcd, or in any combination except a rhyming couplet; b) the Spenserian of the three quatrains and a couplet, rhyming abab, bcbc ,cdcd, ee; c) the Skakespearen, again with three quatrains and a couplet, rhyming abab, cdcd, efef, gg.四?诗A verse form consisting of 14 lines with a fixed rhymescheme举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?…….So long lives this,and this give life to thee4.Shakespearean Sonnet: Also called Elizabethan sonnet or English sonnet, this sonnet form is perfected by Shakespeare. It is structured of three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg.莎??亚?四?诗A sonnet consisting three quatrains and a concluding couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Th ou art more lovely and more temperateRough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date…….So long lives this,and this give life to thee5.Iambic pentameter: Iambic: an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable Its pattern is like this :U ／pentameter: five feetAn example:Shall I compare thee to a summer’ day?U / U / U / U / U /Thou art more lovely and more temperate:U / U / U / U / U /As shown above, the syllables are arranged in the pattern of the unstressed and stressed (U /), so the meter is iambic. And each of the lines contains 5 iambic unit (iamb), so the lines are iambic pentameter.五步抑扬格A metrical unit with unstressed-stressed syllables 举例Close to the sun in lonely lands.close\sun\lonely都是扬声.to\in\lands是降调.举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a sum mer’s day?举例Th e Canterbury Tales Chaucer 1386-1400He wore a fustian tunic stained and darkWith smudges where his amount had left mark;He had just come back from his voyageAnd now was going on this pilgrimage.6.Symbol：Literally, something that stands for something else. In literature, any word, object, action, or character that embodies and evokes a range of additional meaning and significance. Version 2. It is something which represents an idea, a physical entity or a process but is distinct from it. The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a picture of a tent might represent a campsite. Numerals are symbols for numbers. Personal names are symbols representing individuals.A red rose symbolizes love and compassion.象征An arbitrary sign that has acquired a conventional significance Something visible that by association or convention represents something else that is invisible举例Tyger William Blake 1794The tiger is the embodiment of God's power in creation: the animal is terrifying in its beauty, strength, complexity and vitality. The poem is divided into six parts. In the first part, the author imagined that he met a terrible tiger on a dark night and was frightened by its awful eyesight. There are creations and creators. How great the creator is that he could create such an awful creation like tiger! In the second part, the author continues to ask, where comes the eyesight like fire, sea or sky? The following two parts, the author describes the creator as a smith. He creates the tiger. What behind the questions is the frightening and respect of the author to the creator. In the fifth part, the author changes his tone and asks when the stars throw down their spears, why they are not happy? The last part is as same as the first part, the creator is too mysterious to understand.7. Irony is a statement in which the intended meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning.讽刺A trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs举例Great Expectations Charles Dickens 1860“Gentleman”Tess of the D’Urbervilles Th omas Hardy 1891Tess A pure woman8.Bildungsroman：The Bildungsroman, or novel about upbringing and education, had its beginning in Goethe’s work, Wilhelm Meister Iehrjahre ,(Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship 1796歌德《威廉.迈斯特的学习时代》德国教育?说的典范) which is about the process by which a sensitive person discovers hisidentity and place in the big world. This kind of novel often starts with the main character as a child, and then presents the child’s growth and development towards adulthood. This rebellious character goes through a sequence of tests and finally comes to a better understanding of himself and the world. This type of novel is often autobiographical, such as Somerset Maugham’s Of Human Bondage(1915) and James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). It frequently uses first person narration.In form, Great Expectations fits a pattern popular in 19th century European fiction: the bildungsroman, or novel depicting growth and personal development, generally a transition from boyhood to manhood such as that experienced by Pip. Great Expectation depicts a process of maturation and self-discovery through experience as a protagonist moves from childhood to adulthood.成长?说A novel about the early years of somebody's life, exploring the development of his or her character and personality举例Great Expectations Charles Dickens 1860A novel about Pip formative years9.Dramatic Monologue：A monologue is a lengthy speech by a single person. In a play, when a character utters a monologue that expresses his or her private thoughts, it is called a soliloquy. Dramatic Monologue, however, does not designate a component in a play, but a type of lyric poem that was perfected by Robert Browning. In its fullest form, as represented in Browning’s “My Last Duchess”, ”The Bishop Orders His Tomb”, “Andrea del Sato”, and many other poems戏剧独?A poem or other literary work consisting of words supposedly spoken by a character, often in a specific situation, either directly to the reader or to a listener举例My Last Duchess Robert Browning 1842Th at’s my last Duchess painted on the wallLooking as if she were alive……诗歌语??语化，夹叙夹译10.Antihero: The chief person in a modern novel or play whose character is widely discrepant from that which we associate with the traditional protagonist or hero of a serious literary work. Instead of manifesting largeness, dignity, power, or heroism, the antihero is petty, ignominious, passive, ineffectual, or dishonest. The use of nonheroic protagonists occurs as early as the Picaresque novel of the sixteenth century, and the heroine of Defoe’s Moll Fl ander(1722) is a thief and a prostitute. The term “antihero,” however, is usually applied to writings in the period of disillusion after the Second World War, beginning with such protagonists as we find in John Wain’s Hurry on Down(1953) and Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim (1954). Notable later instances in the novel are Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch -22 (1961), Humbert Humbert in Vladimir Nobokov’s Lolita (1955).反英雄The central character in a story who is not a traditionally brave or good hero，a protagonist who lacks the characteristics that would make him a hero举例Ulysses James Joyce 1922A novel described Bloom a layfolk’s day life .11.Epiphany means “a manifestation,” or “showing forth,”and by Christian thinkers was used to signify a manifestation of Go d’s presence within the created world. James Joyce adapted the term to secular experience, to signify a sudden sense of radiance and revelation that one may feel while perceiving a commonplace object.顿悟A divine manifestation举例Araby James Joyce 1905O I never said such a thing ……Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.12.The “stream of consciousness” is a narrative method of capturing and representing the inner workings of a character’s mind. The term was first used by William James in his Principles of Psychology(1890)意识流A literary style that presents a character's continuous random flow of thoughts as they arise举例[Mrs.Dalloway] Virginia Woolf 1925For having lived in westminster how many years now Over twenty……物的意识交错在没有度量的?理时间PART four 作者思想1 Full wise is he that can himselven knowe——Geoffery Chaucer[1343-1400]知者智2 What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving,how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! thebeauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.——William Shakespeare [1564-1616]类是?件多么了不起的作品！他的理性多么?贵！才能多么?限，动作多么敏捷，体形多么令?赞叹！?为像天使，悟性像天神！宇宙之?美，众?之灵长.This passage has provoked bitter scholarly battles—over its punctuation. Is Hamlet saying that man is like an angel in apprehension (understanding), or like a god in apprehension? The different placement of commas in the early texts of the play makes all the difference.3 All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility.——William Wordsworth[1770-1850]切好诗都是强烈情感的?然流露?这种情感又是经过在宁静中追忆的。

Who would these fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death—The undiscover’d country, from whose bournNo traveler returns- puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all；And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and moment，With this regard，their currents turn awryAnd lose the name of action.1. Who is the author of the play? From which play is this passage taken from?2.

Who is the author? What school of poets does he belong to?4. Make a brief comment on the artistic features of this poem.（3）Mr. Gamfield gave an arch look at the faces round the table, and, observing a smile on all of them, gradually broke into a smile himself. The bargain was made. Mr. Bumble was at once instructed that Oliver Twist and his indentures were to be conveyed before the magistrate, for signature and approval, that very afternoon.In pursuance of this determination, little Oliver, to his excessive astonishment, was released from bondage, and ordered to put himself into a clean shirt. He had hardly achieved this very unusual gymnastic performance when Mr. Bumble brought him, with his own hands, a basin of gruel and the holiday allowance of two ounces and a quarter of bread. At this tremendous sight, Oliver began to cry very piteously, thinking, not unnaturally, that the board must have determined to kill him for some useful purpose, or they never would have begun to fatten him up in that way. “Don’t make your eyes red, Oliver, but eat your food and be thankful,” said Mr. Bumble, in a tone of impressive pomposity. “You’re a going to be made a’prentice of, Oliver.”‘A’prentice, sir!’ said the child, trembling.“Yes, Oliver,” said Mr. Bumble. “The kind and blessed gentlemen which is so many parents to you, Oliver, when you have none of your own, are going to a’prentice y ou, and to set you up in life, and make a man of you, although the expense to the parish is three pound ten! — three pound ten, Oliver! —seventy shillings —one hundred and forty sixpences! —and all for a naughty orphan which nobody can’t love.”7As Mr. Bumble paused to take breath, after delivering this address in an awful voice, the tears rolled down the poor child’s face, and he sobbed bitterly.“Come,”said Mr. Bumble, somewhat less pompously, for it was gratifying to his feelings to observe the effect his eloquence had produced，“Come, Oliver! Wipe your eyes with the cuffs of your jacket, and don’t cry into your gruel; that’s a very foolish acti on, Oliver.” It certainly was, for there was quite enough water in it already.5. What can be shown according to the boy’s experience in the workhouse?Ⅴ.Give brief answers to the following questions.(17%)1. State the major characteristics of the critical realism in the Victorian Period.2. State briefly the features of Lawrence’s psychological realism.8。

英国文学选读课文翻译

Hamlet生存或毁灭, 这是个必答之问题:是否应默默的忍受坎苛命运之无情打击,还是应与深如大海之无涯苦难奋然为敌,并将其克服。

此二抉择, 就竟是哪个较崇高?死即睡眠, 它不过如此!倘若一眠能了结心灵之苦楚与肉体之百患,那么, 此结局是可盼的!死去, 睡去...但在睡眠中可能有梦, 啊, 这就是个阻碍:当我们摆脱了此垂死之皮囊,在死之长眠中会有何梦来临?它令我们踌躇,使我们心甘情愿的承受长年之灾,否则谁肯容忍人间之百般折磨,如暴君之政、骄者之傲、失恋之痛、法章之慢、贪官之侮、或庸民之辱,假如他能简单的一刃了之?还有谁会肯去做牛做马, 终生疲於操劳,默默的忍受其苦其难, 而不远走高飞, 飘於渺茫之境,倘若他不是因恐惧身後之事而使他犹豫不前?此境乃无人知晓之邦, 自古无返者。

所以,「理智」能使我们成为懦夫,而「顾虑」能使我们本来辉煌之心志变得黯然无光, 像个病夫。

再之, 这些更能坏大事, 乱大谋, 使它们失去魄力。

Romeo and Juliet罗密欧没有受过伤的才会讥笑别人身上的创痕。

（朱丽叶自上方窗户中出现）轻声！那边窗子里亮起来的是什么光？那就是东方，朱丽叶就是太阳！起来吧，美丽的太阳！赶走那妒忌的月亮，她因为她的女弟子比她美得多，已经气得面色惨白了。

既然她这样妒忌着你，你不要忠于她吧；脱下她给你的这一身惨绿色的贞女的道服，它是只配给愚人穿的。

那是我的意中人；啊！那是我的爱；唉，但愿她知道我在爱着她！她欲言又止，可是她的眼睛已经道出了她的心事。

待我去回答她吧；不，我不要太卤莽，她不是对我说话。

天上两颗最灿烂的星，因为有事他去，请求她的眼睛替代它们在空中闪耀。

要是她的眼睛变成了天上的星，天上的星变成了她的眼睛，那便怎样呢？她脸上的光辉会掩盖了星星的明亮，正像灯光在朝阳下黯然失色一样；在天上的她的眼睛，会在太空中大放光明，使鸟儿误认为黑夜已经过去而唱出它们的歌声。

瞧！她用纤手托住了脸，那姿态是多么美妙！啊，但愿我是那一只手上的手套，好让我亲一亲她脸上的香泽！朱丽叶唉！罗密欧她说话了。
