英汉 美国文化五大象征
Five Famous Symbols of American CultureThe Statue of LibertyIn the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US independence and the France- America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada. His mother could not approve of her son's affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue's right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay in 1886. It had his mother's face and his wife's body, but Bartholdi called it "my daughter, Liberty".BarbieBefore all the different types of Barbie dolls for sale now, there was just a single Barbie. Actually, her name was Barbara.Barbara Handler was the daughter of Elliot and Ruth Handler, co-founders of the Mattel Toy Company. Ruth came up with the idea for Barbie after watching her daughter play with paper dolls. The three-dimensional model for Barbie was a German doll — a joke gift for adults described as having the appearance of "a woman who sold sex". Mattel refashioned the doll into a decent, all-American —although with an exaggerated breast size — version and named it after Barbara, who was then a teenager.Since her introduction in 1959, Barbie has become the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls. Mattel says the average American girl owns ten Barbie dolls, and two are sold somewhere in the world every second.Now more than sixty years old, Barbara — who declines interviews but is said to have loved the doll - may be the most famous unknown figure on the planet.Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, was introduced in 1961 and named after Barbara's brother. The real Ken,who died in 1994, was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous. "I don't want my children to play with it," he said in 1993.American GothicGrant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. The painting shows a serious-looking man anda woman standing in front of a farmhouse. He was strongly influenced by medieval (中世纪的)artists and inspiredby the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.Wood liked to paint faces he knew well. For the grave farmer he used his dentist（牙科医生）, a sour-looking man.For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan. He stretched the models' necksa bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life.The Buffalo NickelToday, American coins honor prominent figures of the US government — mostly famous former presidents. But the Buffalo nickel, produced from 1913 to 1938, honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier — the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians.While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation. For the buffalo on the other side, since buffalo no longer wandered about the great grasslands, Fraser was forced to sketch an aging buffalo from New York City's Central Park Zoo. Two years later, in 1915, this animal was sold for $100 and killed for meat, a hide, and a wall decoration made from its horns.Fourteen-year-old Sam Wilson ran away from home to join his father and older brothers in the fightto liberate the American colonies from the British during the American Revolution. At age 23, hestarted a meatpacking business and earned a reputation for being honest and hard working.During a later war in 1812, Wilson gained a position inspecting meat for US Army forces, workingwith a man who had signed a contract with the government to provide meat to the army. Barrels ofmeat supplied to the army were stamped "EA-US", identifying the company (EA) and country of origin (US). According to one story, when a government official visited the plant and asked about the letters, a creative employee told him "US" was short for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all Army supplies were from "Uncle Sam".After the war, a character called Uncle Sam began appearing in political cartoons, his form evolvingfrom an earlier cartoon character called Brother Jonathan that was popular during the American Revolution. Uncle Sam soon replaced Brother Jonathan as American's most popular symbol. The most enduring portrait of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg in his famous army recruiting posters of World Wars I and II. That version — a tall man with white hair and a small white beard on his chin, a dark blue coat and a tall hat with stars on it —was a self-portrait of Flagg.Words: 900statue n. 雕像，塑像，铸像liberty n. 1.自由，自由权 2.许可，准许 3.放肆，无礼，冒昧行为▲enlighten vt. 启发，开导monument n. 纪念碑，纪念馆alliance n. 同盟，联盟approve vi. 赞成，称许vt. 批准，同意affection n. 1.喜爱 2.爱情，爱慕之情assemble vt. 组装，装配v. （使）集合，（使）聚集torch n. 1.火炬 2.手电筒bay n. （海或湖泊的）湾exaggerate v. 夸张，夸大breast n. 1.乳房 2.前胸，胸部version n. 1.版本；型号 2.叙述，说法universal a. 1.全体的，一致的，普遍的 2.通用的，广泛的，万能的 3.宇宙的，全世界的Universally ad. 全体地，普遍地，无例外地sixty num. 六十，六十个fame n. 名誉，名望interpretation n. 1.解释，说明，描述 2.（表演、演奏的）艺术处理solemn a. 1.庄严的，肃穆的 2.严肃的▲medieval a. 中古的，中世纪的inspire vt. 1.给……以灵感 2.鼓舞，激励grave a. 1.（指人）表情严肃的，端庄的 2.严重的n. 坟墓，墓穴▲dentist n. 牙科医生alongside prep. 在... ...旁边，和... ....一起ad. 在旁边，并排地stretch vt. 1.拉长，拉紧，伸展 2.使尽全力，到（超过）... ... 的极限vi. 扩展，延伸，延续portrait n. 肖像，画像◆buffalo n. 水牛，野牛▲nickel n. （美国或加拿大的）五分镍币，五分钱tragedy n. 1.悲剧，惨案，不幸的事件 2.悲剧（艺术）settlement n. 1.殖民，移民，拓居 2.解决；协议frontier n. 1.边境，边界，（美国靠近未开发地带的）边远地区 2.前沿，新领域herd n. 兽群，牧群vt. 使集中在一起，把……赶在一起horn n. 1.（牛、羊、鹿等的）角 2.喇叭，号角，警报器liberate vt. 解放，释放reputation n. 名声，名望inspect vt. 1.检查 2.视察contract n. 合同，契约v. 订合同，订契约evolve v. （使）演变，（使）演化，（使）发展recruit vt. 招募，征兵，吸收（新成员）n. 新兵，新成员poster n. 招贴（画），海报，布告beard n. 胡子，胡须chin n. 下巴Phrases and Expressionswork on sth. 从事于，致力于be in love with sb. 与……恋爱，相爱approve of sth. 赞成，称许，满意go ahead 继续；进行for sale 出售，待售come up with 找到，想出（答案、解决办法等）rise to fame 成名name after sb. 以某人姓名命名save sb. from 拯救，使免于go against 与... ... 相反，违背run away from 突然离开，逃离Proper Namesthe Statue of Liberty 自由女神像Frederic Auguste Bartholdi 弗里德里克·奥古斯特·巴托尔迪（1834-1904，法国雕塑家）Liberty Enlightening the World "自由照耀世界"Philadelphia 费城（美国宾夕法尼亚州东南部港市）New York Bay 纽约湾（靠美国纽约州东南岸和新泽西州东北岸，临哈得逊河）Barbie 芭比娃娃（一种十分畅销的金发碧眼玩具娃娃的商标名）Barbara Handler 芭芭拉·汉德勒Elliot Handler 艾略特·汉德勒Ruth Handler 鲁思·汉德勒Mattel Toy Company 马特尔玩具公司Ken 肯（人名）American Gothic 《美国哥特式》（格兰特·伍德的名画）Grant Wood 格兰特·伍德Nan 南（人名）Indian 印第安人James Earle Fraser 詹姆斯·厄尔·弗雷泽Central Park Zoo （纽约）中央公园动物园Uncle Sam 山姆大叔（指美国政府或美国人）Sam Wilson 山姆·威尔逊the American Revolution 美国独立战争（1775-1783）US Army 美国陆军Brother Jonathan 乔纳森大哥（原为18世纪英国兵对美国民兵的谑称，现可指美国或典型的美国男人）James Montgomery Flagg 詹姆斯·蒙哥马利·弗拉格（1877-1960，美国插图和广告画家）中文译文: 美国文化的五大象征自由女神像19世纪70年代中期，法国艺术家弗里德里克·奥古斯特·巴托尔迪正在设计一个大项目，名为"自由照耀世界"。
邦妮和克莱德
从《邦妮和克莱德》看新好莱坞电影的艺术特征20世纪五六十年代的好莱坞式旧电影机制分化瓦解，向新的防伪变革转型的时期，到了六十年代末和七十年代初，美国电影在经历低谷之后，迎来了历史的转折，由旧好莱坞走向了新好莱坞。
新好莱坞时代是美国电影自20世纪三四十年代好莱坞黄金时代以来的第二个辉煌时期。
新好莱坞的崛起一般以阿瑟佩恩的影片《邦妮和克莱德》等作为标志，英国的《女王》杂志称1967年是“邦尼和克莱德”年。
因为它比较完整地体现了新好莱坞电影的特点与价值观，因而被称作是新旧好莱坞的分水岭。
影片的背景设置在大萧条时期的美国，讲述的是一对年轻人持枪抢劫银行，最终惨死于警察的乱枪之下以及他们之间的爱情故事。
它根据三十年代两个令人心悸的抢劫犯邦尼帕克和克莱德巴罗的生平改编。
1967年出品的这部影片体现出与以往影片不同的的元素，它重新定义了强盗，重新定义了在路上的爱情和青春。
在拍摄手法上受到了意大利新现实电影和法国新浪潮电影的影响，下面我就从好莱坞的区别与联系（以《邦妮和克莱德》这部影片为例）来说说新好莱坞电影的艺术特征。
第一，对价值观念的颠覆。
旧好莱坞严守“三一律”和戏剧冲突律，有一套固定的剧作结构形式。
通俗地说，就是首先要有一个结构完整、情节曲折动人的好故事，不脱离戏剧故事开端、发展、高超和结局的法则，中间设置一些悬念并用突变、逆转的手法来加强，矛盾的解决往往依靠一个戏剧性的转折，最后常常是大团圆的结局。
而新好莱坞电影打破了传统模式。
首先，影片的主人公形象的颠覆。
邦尼和克莱德并非传统强盗片中那种杀人不眨眼的匪徒，而是一对以暴力来对抗社会和证实自身价值的“愤怒的青年”，属于以前银幕上没有出现过的“新人类”，影片的主人公邦尼和克莱德，都是普通的美国人，他们一心追求个人幸福，但精神空虚，无所寄托。
克莱德这个强盗，与30年代以来盗匪片中的剽悍、凶残的匪徒形象不同，他既不剽悍，又不大胆，带点孩子气，瘸腿，还是性无能。
但是他和邦尼都有强烈的自我意识，需要社会承认他们的价值，可是得不到。

创作过程
• 弗雷泽在创作野牛画像的过程中，由于当时大 草原上已不再有四出现散漫步的野牛，只好到 纽约中央公园的动物园里素描一只年迈的野牛 ，两年后，这只野牛以仅100美元出售，然后 被宰杀取肉制皮，牛角也被制成了墙饰品。
• 美国传统硬币上刻画的主要是美国政府的杰出 人物，其中大多数是著名的历届总统。
山姆大叔形象
• 美国的报纸杂志、文学作品和漫画中，经常可以看到“山姆 大叔”(uncle sam)的名字及其生动的形象。在不同画家的笔 下，“山姆大叔”神态各异，有的凶狠可憎，有的和蔼可亲 。但最常见的形象还是高高的个子，瘦削的面庞，头戴饰星 高顶帽，身穿燕尾服和条纹裤，虽白发苍髯，却精神矍铄， 一派威仪，这一形象深受美国人民的喜爱。

19世纪70年代中期，法国艺术家弗里德里克?奥古斯特?巴托尔迪正在设计一个大项目，名为“自由照耀世界”。
这是一座庆祝美国独立和美法联盟的纪念碑。
与此同时，他爱上了一位他在加拿大认识的女子。
他母亲不赞成自己的儿子和一个她没有见过的女子恋爱，然而巴托尔迪不为所动，和心中所爱于1876年结为伉俪。
同年，巴托尔迪组装完雕像的右臂和火炬，并将它们陈列在费城。
据说，他用了妻子的手臂为模本，但觉得她的脸太漂亮，不适合做雕像模本。
他需要这样一个女人：面容沧桑却不失坚定，庄重多于美丽。
他选择了自己的母亲。
1886年，自由女神像在纽约湾北部落成。
雕像综合了他母亲的脸和他妻子的身材，不过巴托尔迪称之为“我的女儿，自由之神”。
芭比娃娃在现今销售的各式各样的芭比娃娃之前，原本部门只有一种芭比娃娃。

美国自由女神
译文
不似希腊伟岸铜塑雕像 拥有征服疆域的臂膀 红霞落波之门你巍然屹立 高举灯盏喷薄光芒 您凝聚流光的名字 —— 放逐者之母 把广袤大地照亮 凝视中宽柔撒满长桥 海港 “扼守你们旷古虚华的土地与功勋吧！”她呼喊 颤栗着缄默双唇： 把你， 那劳瘁贫贱的流民 那向往自由呼吸，又被无情抛弃 那拥挤于彼岸悲惨哀吟 那骤雨暴风中翻覆的惊魂 全都给我! 我高举灯盏，巴托尔完成了自由女神像的草图设计。 • 1874年造像工程开工，到1884年完全竣工，前后历时十年。开始法
国计划将雕像送给埃及，因为神像是女性被埃及拒绝，后转送给美国。 • 1884年7月6日，自由女神像正式赠送给美国。8月5日，神像底座奠
基工程开始，基座高约27米，由花岗石混凝土制成。基座下面是打入 弗特伍德古堡中心部位6米深处的混凝土巨柱。该古堡是一座军用炮 台，呈八角星状，于1808-1811年为加强纽约港的防卫而建，1840年 翻新。 • 1885年6月，自由女神像分装成210箱，由法国的一艘轮船在美军军 舰护航下运到纽约港。 • 1886年10月中旬，75名工人在脚手架上将30万只铆钉和约100块零件， 组合一处。 • 1886年10月28日，纽约港轮船汽笛齐鸣，烟花四起，在21响礼炮声 中，格罗弗·克利夫兰总统将北美洲或许是世界上最著名的雕像赠送 给了美国人民。从此，进入纽约港的船只上的乘客可以看见屹立的自 由女神高举自由火炬。对成千上万个来美国的移民来说，自由女神是 摆脱旧世界的贫困和压迫的保证， 自由女神像成了美国的象征。 • 1916年，威尔逊总统为女神像安装了昼夜不灭的照明系统并主持了竣 工仪式。 • 1984年～1986年曾经进行过整修。
The Old Colossus not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land； Here at our sea-washed,sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch whose flame Is imprisoned lightning,and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome；her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities . "Keep ancient lands your storied pomp!" cries she with silent lips. "Give me your tired your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
