So now students may not like them very much and they need to make a great effort to read them. “put my hand on my heart”Paraphrase: Putting one’s hand on one’s heart is a sign of being honest and sincere, and is often used together with a verbal oath or solemn claim.“Now of such books as this I mean to say nothing.”Paraphrase: The norm al sentence order should be: “Now I mean to say nothing of such books as this.”“Whatever the learned say about a book, however unanimous they are in their praise of it, unless it interests you, it is no business of yours.”Paraphrase: Even though many sc holars highly praise a book, you don’t have to read it at all if you don’t find it interesting.“Don’t forget that critics often make mistakes — the history of criticism is full of the blunders the most eminent of them have made, and you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading.”Paraphrase: Even the most famous critics make a lot of mistakes about books, as has been proved throughout the history of criticism. In the final analysis, only you, the reader, are in a position to make judgments about how valuable a book is to you.“... they will be of no service to you ...”Paraphrase:... they will not be helpful to you …“... but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it.”Paraphrase: ... but the consequences of some kinds of pleasure would make the sensible person try to avoid them.“They are wise in their generation who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring.”Paraphrase: Those people who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfyingand the most enduring are wise people in their generation.“...

I have not done it justice ...”Paraphrase: ... I have not read the book thoroughly in the way I should have ... In other words, it deserves a more thorough reading.“... when once I begin to skip, I cannot stop, and end the book dissatisfied with myself because I am aware I have not done it justice, and then I am apt to think that I might just well never have read it at all.”Paraphrase: ... once I begin to skip while reading a book, I cannot stop and I will end up skipping most parts of the book. So after I finish reading the book, I always feel guilty because I think I have not paid the book the serious attention that it deserves. Then I would wish I had never read it at all.第五单元“In grave discussions of “the renaissance of the irrational” in our time, superstition does not figure largely as a serious challenge to reason or science.”Paraphrase：In serious discussions of “the renaissance of the irrational” in our time, people don’t think that superstition is a great threat to reason or science.“an unacknowledged hold on so many of us”Paraphrase：unrecognized influence over so many of us“...

Little by little, we are sure to become aware of the second truth.“At every stage of life we sustain losses —and grow in the process.”Paraphrase: At every stage of life we suffer losses — and we mature in the process.“... when we emerge from the womb and lose its protective shelter.”Paraphrase: ... when we are born and lose the protection of our mother’s womb.“enter a progression of schools”Paraphrase: enter schools one after another in a progressive way (from kindergarten to college) “... as the parable of the open and closed hand suggests ...”Paraphrase: Here the author refers to the saying of the rabbis in ancient times mentioned in “But why should we be reconciled to life’s contradictory demands?”Paraphrase: But why should we be prepared to accept life’s paradoxical demands?“In order to resolve this paradox, we must seek a wider perspective, viewing our lives as through windows that open on eternity.”Paraphrase: In order to get to the bottom of this paradox, we must try to see further and wider. Then we’ll be able to realize that human life is something that can last for ever.“The institutions we build endure, and we will endure through them.”Paraphrase: The social systems and customs we create will continue to exist, and thus our influence also.“Our flesh may perish, our hands will wither, but that which they create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come.”Paraphrase: Our body may die, our hands will become dry and decay, but the beauty, the goodness, and the truth that they have created will continue to exist for eternity.“Pursue not so much the material as the ideal, for ideals alone invest life with meaning and ar e of enduring worth.”Paraphrase: Do not put too much value on the material, because only ideals can add meaning to life and be of lasting value.“Add justice to the far-flung round of human endeavor and you have civilization”Paraphrase: We will have civilization, if we add justice to our continuous efforts far and wide. “... you have a future lighted with the radiant colors of hope.”Paraphrase: ... you have a bright future full of hope.第十一单元“blast it”Paraphrase: a curse, a little milder than “damn it.”“Still, it is the first property that I have owned, so it is right that other people should participate in my shame ...”Paraphrase: In spite of everything, it is the first estate that I have ever possessed, so it is right that other people should share awareness of my shame...“in accents that will vary in horror”Paraphrase: in tones that will differ to reflect the degree of horror felt“What is the effect of property upon the character?”Paraphrase: How does the possession of property affect one’s personality?“In the first place, it makes me feel heavy.”Paraphrase: First of all, it is a kind of burden on me.“being woven into the robe of God”Paraphrase: being accepted and protected by God“... the ascent of a fourteen-stone bishop into a pulpit is thus the exact antithesis of the coming of the Son of Man.”Paraphrase: ... a very fat bishop climbing with difficulty into his platform to give his sermon, and Jesus Christ coming down so gracefully from heaven, are two pictures in striking contrast.“On coming nearer, I saw it was not a man who had trodden on the twig and snapped it, but a bird, and I felt pleased.”Paraphrase: When I came nearer, I saw it was not a man who had walked on the twig and broken it, but a bird, and I was delighted.“Something seemed grossly amiss here ...”Paraphrase: Something seemed completely wrong here...“I could not suppose that my wood was the destined nucleus of universal dominion ...”Paraphrase: I didn’t think that my wood was meant to be the center of universal power and control ...“They spring from a foolish desire to express myself and from an inability to enjoy what I havegot.”Paraphrase: These impulses are the result of a foolish desire to express myself and of a failure to enjoy what I have got.“Creation, property, enjoyment form a sinister trinity in the human mind.”Paraphrase: Creation, property, enjoyment form a vicious union in the human mind.“Yet we don’t know how to shun it.”Paraphrase: But we don’t know how to avoid it.“... they are still entangled with the desire for ownership ...”Paraphrase: .. they are still mixed with the desire for ownership ...“Possession is one with loss.”Paraphrase: Possession is accompanied by loss. When one possesses something he desires, one loses something else at the same time.There is a wood near Lyme Regis, also cursed by a public footpath ...Paraphrase: There is a wood near Lyme Regis, which is also undesirably traversed by a public footpath ...“He had built high stone walls on each side of the path, and has spanned it by bridges, so that the public circulate like termites while he gorges on the blackberries unse en.” Paraphrase: He had built high stone walls on each side of the path, and also built bridges between the two sides, so that while other people are walking under the bridges like white ants, he can enjoy his blackberries alone without being seen.“And perhaps I shall come to this in time.”Paraphrase: And perhaps I shall eventually behave just like that.第一单元1).

高级英语第四版笔记
高级英语第四版笔记今天来给大家分享一下高级英语第四版的笔记哈。
一、词汇部分。
高级英语第四版里有好多生僻又有意思的单词。
像“acerbity”，读音是[əˈs ɜːbəti] ，它表示“苦涩，尖刻”。
比如说“She replied with acerbity.”（她尖刻地回答道。
）近义词可以是“bitterness”“harshness”，反义词就是“sweetness”“kindness”啦。
还有“alacrity”，读音[əˈlæk.rə.ti] ，意思是“敏捷，轻快，乐意”。
造句可以是“He accepted the invitation with alacrity.”（他欣然接受了邀请。
）二、语法部分。
这版教材里的语法也有点复杂哈。
比如说虚拟语气，在一些特定的从句中，它的时态变化那叫一个让人头疼。
像在表示与现在事实不符的假设时，从句用一般过去时，主句用“would/could/might + 动词原形”。
例如：If I were you, I would study harder. （如果我是你，我会更努力学习的。
）再比如说定语从句，关系代词和关系副词的选择也得特别注意。
当先行词在从句中作主语或宾语时，一般用关系代词；作状语时，就用关系副词。
像This is the place where I lived last year. （这就是我去年住的地方。
）这里“where”就是关系副词，在从句中作状语。
三、课文分析部分。
教材里的课文都很经典。
就拿某篇课文来说，它的主题思想特别深刻，通过描写一些生活中的小细节，反映出了当时社会的大问题。
作者的写作手法也很巧妙，运用了大量的修辞手法，像比喻、拟人、夸张啥的，让文章更加生动形象。
比如说有个句子把时间比作流水，“Time passes like flowing water.”一下子就让人感觉到时间的匆匆流逝。

(完整word版)高级英语 the future of the english中英笔记
第二册lesson 11 The Future of The English英国人的未来J . B. Priestley JB普里斯特利1 【To write about the English in standard and cosmopolitan political terms, the usual Left-Centre-Right stuff, is almost always wasting time and trouble. The English are different. The English are even more different than they think they are, though not more different than they feel they are. And what they feel — Englishness again - is more important than what they think. It is instinctive feeling and not rational thought that shapes and colours actual events in England. 背诵】若想用世界上流行的标准政治术语，即左、中、右三派这种毫无意义的陈腔老调来描述英国人的话，那多半是白费时间，徒耗精力。
英国人可是与众不同。
他们甚至比自己想象中的英国人还要不同，倒是同他们自己感觉中的英国人差不多。
而他们所感觉到的…这一点再次反映出英国人的特性——比他们想象到的更为重要。
在英国，决定一切事物形式和色彩的不是人的理性思维，而是人的本能感觉。
cosmopolitan (adj.) : common to or representative of all or many parts of the world；not national or local世界性的；不限于国家或地区范围的----------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 For example, although the English seem to be so sharply divided, always indulging in plenty of loud political abuse, there are nothing like so many Communists or neo- or potential Fascists in England as there are in most other countries. Again, although the English seem to have more than their share of rallies, protest marches, confrontations with authority, what could begin to look like a murderous encounter in France or America, or might be a bloody street battle in Japan, would in England end at the worst in a few scuffle s and arrests. This is because there are fewer fanatical believers among the English, and at the same time, below the noisy arguments, the abuse and the quarrels, there is a reservoir of instinctive fellow-feeling, not yet exhausted though it may not befilling up. Not everybody can draw on that reservoir. No doubt there are in England some snarl ing shop steward s who demand freedom for the workers when what they really want is to bring the whole system crashing down, together with every guarantee of liberty. No doubt there are wealthy employers who smile at the TV cameras and declare that all they desire is the friendliest relation with their work force, when at heart they would like to take a whip to the whole idle troublesome mob of them. But there are not many of these men, either on the board or the shop floor, and they are certainly not typical English. Some cancer in their character has eaten away their Englishness.举例来说，尽管英国人表面上似乎存在着严重的意见分歧，彼此之间进行政治上的攻击谩骂也是常有的事，但英国却不像许多其他国家一样有那么多的共产主义者以及新的或潜在的法西斯主义分子。

《高级英语 上》笔记
高级英语（上）L1-10 笔记Lesson 1一.句子1.How do you feel about this adulation and hero worship? When Mick Jagger’s fans look at himas a high priest or a god, are you with them or against them? Do you share Chris Singer’s almost religious reverence for Bob Dylan? Do you think he-or Dylan-is misguided? Do you reject Alice Cooper as sick? Or are you drawn somehow to this strange clown, perhaps because he acts out your wildest fantasies?There aren’t idle questions. Some sociologists say that your answers to them could explain a lot about what you are thinking and about what your society is thinking-in other words, about where you and your society are. “Music expresses its times,” says sociologist Irving Horowitz, Horowitz sees the rock music arena as a sort of debating forum, a place where ideas clash and crash .He sees it as a place where American society struggles to define and redefine its feelings and beliefs. “The redefinition,” Horowitz says, “is a task uniquely performed by the young. It is they alone who combine invention and exaggeration, reason and motion, word and sound, music and politics.你如何看待这种赞美和英雄崇拜？当米克.贾格尔的歌迷把他视作大主教或神时，你对他们是持赞成还是反对态度？你是否赞同克里斯.辛格对鲍勃.狄佗的近乎宗教般的崇敬？你认为是他-还是狄伦-迷入歧途了？你是否认为艾利斯.库珀的表演令人讨厌因而拒绝接受他呢？你是否因为这位奇怪的小丑表达出了你狂热的幻觉而多少被他吸引？这些并不是随便提出的毫无价值的问题。
