论述题
1.Roughly speaking, Shakespeare’s literary career can be divided into three periods. What are the three periods? And what are his major works in each period?莎士比亚创作分为哪几个时期，各时期代表作
Shakespeare’ s literary works can be divided into three periods: the first one from 1590 to 1600, the second from 1601 to 1608, and the third from 1609 to 1612. In the first period, optimism prevails in most of the works, which include histories, comedies,and poems. In them, he portrayed young people just freed from feudal fetters. He sang of their youth, love and ideals of happiness. His histories include Richard III, Henry IV, Henry V, ect. Comedies include The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado about Nothing, Twelfth Night, ect. And all his poems,154 sonnetsand two long poems, The Rape of Lurece and Venus and Adonis, are written in this period, too.
In the second period, Shakespeare’s optimism wanes and a strong touch of pessimism marks most of the works, which reveal the society to be an evil one. The famous four tragedies of his age are all complete in this period, which include Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear.
The works in the third period are mainly tragicomedies and romances: Cymbeline, The Winter’ s tale, The Tempest, ect.
2.What is the Shakespeare’s literary achievement莎士比亚的文学成就主要
表现在哪几个方面
(1)Shakespeare is one of the founders of realism in world literature. He
maintains that the purpose of dramatic performance is “to hold, as it were, the mirror up to nature ”. In his work, he paints the decline of the old feudal
nobility and the vice of the new Tudor monarch. Besides, his plays have good plots and life-like characters too. His drama is an expression, a monument of
the English Renaissance since he wrote about his own people for his own time. (2)Shakespeare is a prolific writer. Within 22 years, he produced 37 plays, 154 sonnets and 2 long poems. He is a master-hand for every form of drama-comedy, tragedy, and historical plays.
(3)Shakespeare was skilled in many poetic forms: the song, the sonnet, the couplet, and the dramatic blank verse. And he is a great master of the English language. He used a vocabulary larger than any other English writers. Many of
his new coinage and turns of expressions have become everyday usage in English life. Shakespeareand the Authorized Version of the English Bible are the two
great treasures of the English language.
(4)Shakespeare has been universally acknowledged to be the summit of the English Renaissance, and one of the greatest writers the world over.
3.What are the main characteristics of Bernard Shaw’s plays萧伯纳的戏剧特点(1)Structurally and thematically, Shaw followed the great traditions of realism.
He took the modern social issues as his subjects with the aim of directing
social reforms.
(2)One feature of Shaw's characterization is that he makes the trick of showing
up one character vividly at the expense of another. Another feature is that Shaw's characters are the representatives of ideas， points of view， that shift and alter during the play， for Mr. Shaw is primarily interested in doctrines.
(3)Much of Shavian drama is constructed around the inversion of a conventional theatrical situation. The inversion, a device found in Shaw from beginning to end, is an integral part of an interpretation of life.
(4)Shaw's plays have plots，but they do not work by plots. The plot is usually
the disregarded backbone to one long, unbroken conversation. It is the vitality
of the talk that takes primacy over mere story. Action is reduced to a minimum, while the dialogue and the interplay of the characters maintain the interest of the audience. The forward motion consistsnot in the unrolling of plot but in the operation of the spirit of discourse.
4.What are the stylistic features of Hemingway’s novels海明威小说的文体特点(1)Hemingway’ snovels are mainly concerned with “ tough”people, known for the Hemingway hero of athletic prowess and masculinity and unyielding heroism, whose essential courage and honesty are implicitly contrasted with the brutality
of civilized society. In the general situation of his novels, life is but a losing battle; however, it is also a struggle man can demonstrate in such a way that loss becomes dignity; man can be physically destroyed but never defeated spiritually.
(2)T ypical of this “ iceberg ”analogy is Hemingway’ s style: Hemingway’ s economical writing style often seems simple, but his method is calculated. In
his writing, Hemingway provided detached descriptions of action, using simple nouns and verbs to capture scenes precisely. By doing so he avoided describing his character ’emotions and thoughts directly. Hemingway was deeply concerned with authenticity in writing. Besides, Hemingway develops the style of colloquialism initiated by Mark Twain. The accents and mannerisms of human speech are well presented, and the use of short, simple words and sentences
has an effect of clearness, terseness and great care.
5.What are Hemingway’s major works海明威的主要作品
His early works: The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929),
Green Hills of Africa (1935)
His later works: For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), The Old Man and the Sea, a powerful novelette about an aged Cuban fisherman, for which he won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize in fiction. In 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.
自考英美文学选读 第一章 文艺复兴时期(英国)(课文翻译)
英美文学选读翻译（英语专业自考） 第一部分：英国文学 第一章文艺复兴时期 文艺复兴标志着一个过渡时期,即中世纪的结束和现代社会的开始。一般来说,文艺复兴时期是从十四世纪到十七世纪中叶。它从意大利兴起,伴随着绘画、雕塑和文学领域的百花齐放,而后文艺复兴浪潮席卷了整个欧洲。文艺复兴,顾名思义即重生、复苏,是由一系列历史事件激发推动的,其中包括对古希腊罗马文化的重新发现。地理天文领域的新发现,宗教改革及经济发展。因此,文艺复兴从本质上是欧洲人文主义者竭力摒弃中世纪欧洲的封建主义,推行代表新兴城市资产阶级利益的新思想,并恢复早期宗教的纯洁性,远离腐败的罗马天主教廷的一场运动。 文艺复兴浪潮影响到英国的速度比较慢,不仅因为英国远离欧洲大陆,而且还因为其国内的动荡不安。乔叟去世后的一个半世纪是英国历史上最动荡不安的时期。好战的贵族篡取了王位,使英国走上自我毁灭之路。著名的玫瑰之战就是极好的例子。后来理查三世的恐怖统治标志着内战的结束,在都铎王朝的统治下英国的民族情感又成长起来。然而直到亨利八世统治期间(1509-1547),文艺复兴的春风才吹入英国。在亨利八世的鼓励下,牛津的改革派学者和人文主义者们将古典文学引入英国。基于古典文学作品及《圣经》的教育重获生机,而十五世纪就被广泛传阅的文学作品则更加流行了。自此,英国的文艺复兴开始了。英国,尤其是英国文学进入了黄金时代。这个时期涌现出莎士比亚、斯宾塞、约翰逊、锡德尼、马洛、培根及邓恩等一大批文学巨匠。但英国的文艺复兴并未使新文学与旧时代彻底决裂,带有十四、十五世纪特点的创作态度与情感依然贯穿在人文主义与改革时代。 人文主义是文艺复兴的核心。它源于努力恢复中世纪产生的对古希腊罗马文化的尊崇。人文主义作为文艺复兴的起源是因为古希腊罗马文明的基础是以"人"为中心,人是万物之灵。通过这些对古代文化崭新的研究,人文主义者不仅看到了光彩夺目的艺术启明星,还在那古典作品中寻求到了人的价值。在中世纪的社会中,个人完全隶属于封建统治,没有独立和自由可言;在中世纪的神学理论中,人与周围世界的关系仅仅是人消极适应或消极遁世,不允许追求快乐,以备死后灵魂得以超脱。然而人文主义者们却从古代文化遗产中找到了充足的论据,来赞美人性,并开始注意到人类是光荣的生命,人自己可以不断发展,至善至美,而且人们生存的世界是属于他们的,供他们怀疑、探索以及享受。由此,人文主义者通过强调人类的尊严、强调今生今世的重要性,喊出了他们的信仰,即人类不仅有权利在今生今世美好生活,而且还有能力完善自我,创造奇迹。人文主义遍布英国思想领域的。标志是荷兰学者伊拉斯谟先后到牛津大学与剑桥大学讲授古典文化研究。托马斯·漠尔、克利斯朵夫·马洛和威廉·莎士比亚是英国人文主义的代表。

自考英美文学选读要点总结第一章
Chapter I The Renaissance Period Definitions of the Literary Terms: 文艺复兴时期的界定 1. The Renaissance: The Renaissance marks a transition from the medie val to the modern world. Generally, it refers to the period between the 14 th & 17th centuries. 历史文化背景It first started in Italy, with the flowering of painting, sculpture & literature. From Italy the movement went to emb race the rest of Europe. The Renaissance, which means "rebirth" or "reviva l," is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events, such as the re-discovery of ancient Roman & Greek culture, the new discoverie s in geography & astrology, the religious reformation & the economic expa nsion. The Renaissance, therefore, in essence is a historical period in whic h the European humanist thinkers & scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe, to introduce new ideas that e xpressed the interests of the rising bourgeoisie, & to recover the purity of the early church from the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church. 2. 文艺复兴到英国比较晚的原因The Renaissance was slow in reaching Englan d not only becaus e o f England?s separation from the Continent but also be cause of its domestic unrest. It was not until the reign of Henry VIII that the Renaissance really began to show its effect in England. With Henry VII I?s encouragement the Oxford reformers, scholars and humanists introduc ed classical literature to England. 15th century, began the English Renaissa nce, which was perhaps England?s Golden Age, especially in literature. 人文主义H umanism: Humanism is the essence of the Renaissance. It sprang from the endeavor to restore a medieval reverence for the ancient author s and is frequently taken as the beginning of the Renaissance on its consci ous, intellectual side, for the Greek and Roman civilization was based on s uch a conception that man is the measure of all things. Through the new l earning, humanists not only saw the arts of splendor and enlightenment, b ut the human values represented in the works. Renaissance humanists fou nd in the classics a justification to exalt human nature and came to see th at human beings were glorious creatures capable of individual development in the direction of perfections, and that the world they inhabited was thei rs not to despise but to question, explore, and enjoy. Thus, by emphasizin g the dignity of human beings and the importance of the present life, they voiced their beliefs that man did not only have the right to enjoy the bea uty of this life, but had the ability to perfect himself and to perform wond ers. Thomas More, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare are the b est representatives of the English humanists. The first period of the English Renaissance was one of imitation and assimi lation.

At the same time,the working conditions under which workers toiled were unimaginably brutal, especially in texible factories and coal mines where women and children were widely employed.The worsening living and working conditions, the mass unemployment and the new Poor Law of 1834 with its workhouse system finally gave rise to Chartist Movement (1836-1848).Amid such a class-struggle period, many writers turned to social criticism.So appeared a new literary trend:critical realism.These realists are mainly concerned with the society, the social system and the people in the society. B.Features of Victorian Literature Victorian literature,as a product of its age,naturally took on its quality of magnitude and diversity.It was many-sided and complex, and reflected both romantically realistically the great changes that were going on in people's life and thought .Besides, it truthfully respresented the reality and spirit of the age. The high-spirit vitality, the down-to-earth earnesteness,the good-natured humor and unbounded imagination are all unprecedented .In almost every genre it paved the way for coming century ,where its spirits,values and experiments are to witness their bumper harvest. Great writers and great works abounded. I.Charles Dickens 1.Life of Dickens Charles Dickens(1812-1870) was born in Portsmouth ,a poor British family,in 1812.He was a son of a petty navy office clerk.Because his father had been taken into prison for debts,he was forced to leave school to work at a blacking factory.In the factory,as a child he always felt hungry,lonely and ignored.The hardship and suffering inflicted upon the sensitive ,young Charles had left an ever-lasting bitter remembrance in his later life.In 1827,Charles entered a lawyer's office,and two years later he became a parliamentary reporter for newspapers.The journalistic experience not only enabled him to get acquainted with some inside knowledge of the British legal and political system,and gave him a chance to meet people of all kinds,but also laid a good foundation for his coming literary career.From 1833, Dickens began to write,occasional sketches of lond life,which were later collected and published under the tittle Sketches by Boz (1836),soon the Posthumous Paper of the Pick-wick Club(1836-1837) appeared in monthly installments.It made him the most popular English author of his time.Dickens was not only an editor but also an ower of several newspapers and magazines.He was also an enthusiastic participant or organizer of some charity activities. Dickens is one of the greatest critical realist writers of the Victorian age and also is known as an outstanding master of the Language.During his 34 years' creating,Dichens wrote 14 novels[The myster of Edwin Drood (《艾

大学英语专业学习计划
大学英语专业学习计划 篇一：大学英语专业规划 英语专业学习规划 英语小教093 陈盼盼 对于英语专业的学生来讲，进入大学校园后会发现专业课程交相出现，英语有关书籍种类繁杂。不由得觉得科科重要，本本经典。但是只有科学的规划，合理的时间安排才会平衡自己学习上的需求与学校授课步伐上的差异，使听说读写译五种技能得到锻炼及提高，四年之后达到熟练掌握英语这门语言工具的能力。 大一： 这一年是英语专业学习压力比较小的时候。主要开设的课程有综合英语，语音，语法，教师基本技能及如思想品德等基础课程。从中可以看到这两个学期是在为专业打基础的时候。可以做的事情首先是锻炼自己的口语，这与一般学校头一二个月的时候进行规范语音的工作相一致。平时进行语言模仿，可以选择语音质量较高的电影，歌曲，配乐诗歌，散文朗诵及演讲等材料进行逐句模仿，大段背诵的形式来锤炼语音，让人在听觉上感到一种享受。其次是对单词的积累。可以结合大学英语六级或是专业英语四级的词汇手册作为参考，加大平时背诵的单词数量，为大二下学期专业四级的考试打下基础。通过阅读有关词根词缀构词法或相关的书籍
和其它形式的材料可以帮助揭示单词内在的规律。再次是对语言基础知识的积累。多读些关于语言学习的书和杂志，报刊。如各种简装本的名著，新兴词语汇集，英语学习，二十一世纪报等，它们可以提高对语言的感性认识，增强语感，而另一个非常实用但却容易被忽略的材料是像新概念这样的经典教材，语言准确，句型精美，通过精听，模仿，背诵这三个步骤可以在短时内提高语言基础。 大二： 如果还没有完成如语音表达标准，词汇捕捉敏锐这样的对语言表层现象的掌握，那么这一年要做的事情就显得很多。除了对上述能力的加强外，这个时期对语法的把握也是比较重要的事情。不要相信他人的观点：语法不再重要，没有语法也可以交流。这样的观点看起来是十分荒谬的。英语语言高度的逻辑性就体现在其精准的语法结构上。中西方思维逻辑的判别在这里也可以窥见一斑。阅读专业的语法教材或者参加语法培训都是可取的。在第二个学期，我的学习重点会转向英语专业四级考试。但经过上面三个学期的积累和第四学期大量做题实战加之权威书籍的指点想必我一次性通过的比例应该不小。 大三： 无论是什么专业的同学在这时都应该提早做前途归化。考不考研，考什么研是英语专业学习一直疑问的问题。但不
浅析大学英美文学课程教学
浅析大学英美文学课程教学 随着经济的快速发展，我们国家大学教育发生了翻天覆地的变化。英美文学作为大学英语专业的一个主要核心组成部分，其课程教学显得极为重要。英美文学是一门特殊的学科，在英语专业中占有着重要地位，它不仅可以培养大学生提高文学赏析能力，还能陶冶性情，提高其自身的整体综合素养，因此，一直以来，大学英美文学取得的教学成果一直呈现着一片繁荣景象。但是，随之而来的问题也同时出现了。很多大学生在上这门课程的过程中感到兴趣不足，甚至对其反感、枯燥乏味等。学生为什会有这样的表现，究其原因是教师的教学方法有问题，还是学生自身出现问题。是的，在当今的大学英美文学课程教学中很多教师采用的教学方式一直采用老套的教学模式，填鸭式、满堂灌等这样的教学方式，教师自己累的是满头大汗，学生学的是枯燥、乏味，不仅没有提高学生的学习效率，还影响了教学成果的提升。在英美文学课程教学中，教师也要改变教学模式，将传统的教学方式与崭新的教学理念融合到一起，才能调动学生学习的积极性，同时也更激发学生的学习潜能。新的教学理念要求教师在教学中用各种不同的教学模式来调动学生的学习兴趣，培养学生提高分析问题、解决问题能力。在英美文学课程教学中，教师也要采用新的教学理融合新的教学方式运用到实际的教学当中，培养大学生英语文学析能力，提高综合整体素质。另外用各种不同的教学模式唤起学生对英美文学的求知欲望，在教学中以学生为该课程的教学主人，帮助学生提高学习兴趣，以最大的限度激发学生的学习潜能。相信，这样的课程教学对于学生来说一定是轻松、愉悦的，从满激情的，对于教师来讲，在教学中不会感到吃累、疲倦。为此，文章根据目前大学英美文学课程教学中存在的缺陷，对其课程教学做了几点简单的分析论述。同时也给出了提高大学英美文学课程教学质量的建议出路，并分别对其进行了如下分析研究，以下是具体分析： 一、大学英美文学课程教学中存在的缺陷问题 1、教学手法比较单一 目前的大学英美文学师资队伍中，有的教师是刚毕业的学生，他们只是有着深厚的英美文学功底，在教学手法上比较落后、单一，给学生传授英美文学知识的过程中，一直采用着度独角戏、满堂灌以及填鸭式等教学模式，教师在教学的时候侧重于文本的语法和篇章的分析以及单一的独白式地对文本进行讲解，没有给学生时间让学生对原著进行阅读、体验及欣赏，使学生欣赏及批评文学作品的能力得不到培养，这样的教学模式造成了学生在英美文学课程学习中，没有更多的时间来进行对文学赏析的思考与分析，尤其是对于低年级的大学生来说，由于刚接触到这些文学术语和作品中的一些生词以及表达法会产生抵触心理，这根本就不利于英美文学课程教学，最终导致学生对着门课程产生反感，不愿意主动参与到英美文学学习中来。可想而知，有教学手法的单一，导致学生在英美文学课程教学中感到无法呼吸，主观能动性受到压抑，使得整个课堂教学氛围死气沉沉。另外，有教师在这门课程教学中，缺少语言魅力，就是按照教材中的知识内容来按部就班的宣读给学生讲解，导致学生的大脑思维没有得到很好的开发和利用，学生一直在被动的教学模式中进行学习，可想而知，学生的积极性受到了制约。
