(1)第一章第一节莎士比亚的《十四行诗18》

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself, and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

(2)第二节培根《论学习》

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can exe-cute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.

Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stand or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies; like as diseases of the body, may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like. So if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the

Schoolmen; for they are cymini sectors. If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers' cases. So every defect of the mind, may have a special receipt

(3)第二章第二节笛福的《鲁滨逊漂流记》

After I had been there about ten or twelve days it came into my thoughts that I should lose my reckoning of time for want of books and pen and ink, and should even forget the Sabbath days from the working days; but to prevent this, I cut it with my knife upon a large post, in capital letters; and making it into a great cross, I set it up on the shore where I first landed, viz., "I came on shore here the 30th of September 1659." Upon the sides of this square post I cut every day a notch with my knife, and every seventh notch was as long again as the rest, and every first day of the month as long again as that long one; and thus I kept my calendar, or weekly, monthly, and yearly reckoning of time.

2. Comment on the significance of the novel Robinson Crusoe, and on the features of Daniel Defoe's novels in general. 人物在英国历史上有重要地位(必考)

(1)Significance of Robinson Crusoe: Robinson Crusoe is one of the most memorable protagonists in English novels. Through his characterization of the character, Defoe depicts a hero struggling against nature and human fate with his indomitable will and hand, and eulogizes creative labor, both physical and mental. From an individual laborer to a master and colonizer, Crusoe seems to have gone through various stages of human civilization. However, the novel also embellishes colonialism of the British government.

(2)features of Daniel Defoe's novels:Defoe's novels all take the form of memoirs or pretended historical narratives, everything in them gives the impression of reality, which is achieved by his insistence on detail.

Defoe's intention is that the readers should regard his novels as true stories. For that reason, he deliberately avoids all art, all fine writing, so that the reader should concentrate only on a series of plausible events.

The central idea of his novels is that man is good and noble by nature but may succumb to an evil social environment. Defoe wants to make it clear that society is the source of various crimes and vices.

(8)第七节奥斯丁的《傲慢与偏见》

It‘s a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in a want of a wife.

However little know the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

―my dear Mr. Bennet,‖said his lady to him one day, ―have you heard that Netherfield Park is let the last?‖

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

―But it is,‖ returned she; ―for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.‖

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

―Do not you want to know who has taken it ?‖ cried his wife impatiently.

―You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.‖

This was invitation enough.

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

(9)第九节兰姆的《梦中孩子》

Here Alice put out one of her dear mother‘s looks, too tender to be called upbraiding. Then I went on to say, how religious and how good their grandmother Field was, how be loved and respected by every body, though she was not indeed the mistress of this great house, but had only the charge of it (and yet in some respects shi might said to be the mistress of it too)committed to her by the owner, who preferred living in a newer and more fashionable mansion which he had purchased somewhere in the adjoining country; but she still lived in it in a manner as if it has been her own, and kept up the dignity of the great house in a sort where she lived, which afterwards came to decay, and nearly pulled down, and all its old ornaments stripped and carried away to the owner‘s other house, where they were set up, and looked as awkward as if some one were carried away to the old tombs they had seen lately at the Abbey, and stick them up in Lady C.‘s tawdry gilt drawing-room. Here John smiled, as much as to say, ―that would be foolish indeed.‖

1. The passage is taken from a novel entitled _Dream-Children: A Reverie _.

(10)第四章第一节狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》

The evening arrived; the boys took their places. The master, in his cook's uniform, stationed himself at the copper; his pauper assistants ranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace was said over the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered each other, and winked at Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him. Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said: somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:

―Please, sir, I want some more.‖

The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupefied astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear. Questions:

(11)第二节夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简爱》

“I tell you I must go!‖I retorted, roused to something like passion. ―Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?-a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!-I have as much as soul as you,--and full as much heart! And If god had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; jus as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God‘s feet equal, --as we are!‖

(12)第三节艾米丽·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》

'There's a letter for you, Mrs. Linton,' I said, gently inserting it in one hand that rested on her knee. 'You must read it immediately, because it wants an answer. Shall I break the seal?' 'Yes,' she answered, without altering the direction of her eyes. I opened it - it was very short. 'Now,' I continued, 'read it.' She drew away her hand, and let it fall. I replaced it in her lap, and stood waiting till it should please her to glance down; but that movement was so long delayed that at last I resumed - 'Must I read it, ma'am? It is from Mr. Heathcliff.'

There was a start and a troubled gleam of recollection, and a struggle to arrange her ideas. She lifted the letter, and seemed to peruse it; and when she came to the signature she sighed: yet still I found she had not gathered its import, for, upon my desiring to hear her reply, she merely pointed to the name, and gazed at me with mournful and questioning eagerness.

6.What might be the causes for the tragic death of Mrs. Linton?

She marries the man she does not love and is still in passionate love for Heathcliff. That leads her tragic death.

7. Conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces or characters in a short story, novel, play, or narrative poem. What‘s the conflict within Mrs.Linton (Catherine)?

She desires a genteel and civilized life. She loves Heathcliff. She is torn between these two desires or passions.

8. Comment upon the denouement of the novel as contrasted with the happy ending of Charlotte Bronte‘s Jane Eyre.

Catherine died because of her passion for Heathcliff, the predominantly main interest of her life. Jane Eyre also loves Rochester deeply, but she had a happen ending and married with her beloved Rochester because of her independence of will.

9. Try to analyze Catherine‘s and Heathcliff‘s characters.

Heathcliff showed us the tense conflict of love and hatred, kindness and cruelty. We cannot say Heathcliff bad or good. His life experience determined his two-side character, kind and cruel, passionate and isolated, courageous and rebellious.

Catherine is a complicate figure too. She has both thoughts of freedom and spirit of revolt, but also has vanity and class prejudice. This kind of duality in her character makes her to be both a rebel and a compromise.

(13)第四节哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》

He looked up, and perceived tow life-size portraits on panels built into the masonry. As all visitors to the mansion are aware, these paintings represent women of middle age, of a date some two hundred years ago, whose lineaments once seen can never be forgotten. The long pointed features, narrow eye, and smirk of the one, so suggestive of merciless treachery: the bill-hook nose, large teeth, and bold eye of the other, suggesting arrogance to the point of ferocity, haunt the beholder afterwards in his dreams.

―Whose portraits are those?‖ asked Claire of the charwoman.

―I have been told by old folk that they were ladies of the d‘Urbrerville family, the ancient lords of this manor,‖ she said. ―Owing to their being builded into the wall they can‘ be moved away.‖The unpleasantness of the matter was that, in addition to their effect upon Tess, her fine features were

unquestionably traceable in these exaggerated forms. He said nothing of this, however, and, regretting that he had gone out of his way to choose the house for their bridal time, went on into the adjoining room. The place having been rather hastily prepared for them washed their hands in one basin. Clare touched hers under the water.

1.The passage is taken from a novel entitled _Tess of the d‘Urbervilles _.

2.The writer of the novel is _Thomas Hardy_.

3. What does ‖lineaments‖ mean in the passage? ―L ineaments‖ means features in this passage.

4. Why was Tess horrified while she was walking on the landing? In Claire‘s eyes, what else could be shown from the two portraits?

Tess saw the two life-size portraits of the ladies which reminded her of her own treachery to Angel Claire.

In Claire‘s eyes Tess and two ladies were quite alike in their features.

5. For what reason was Tess ―not a bit‖ cheerful on her wedding night?

Tess thought she was unworthy of being Angel‘s wife because of her past at Trantridge and her treachery to Angel.

6.Hardy‘s main characters often seem to be in the overwhelming and overpowering grip of fate, what‘s the deep reason that causes Tess‘s tragedy?

Tess falls to the victim of the double standard of sexual mores of the Victorian times. That‘s the deep reason that causes Tess‘s tragedy.

(14)第五章第二节叶芝《茵内斯费里湖岛》

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

Questions:

1.Who is the poet? William Butler Yeats

2. Where is this stanza taken from?The Lake Isle of Innisfree

3. What does ―Innisfree‖ mean in this poem? Here the author is referring to a place for hermitage

4. What does ―the bee-loud glade‖ refer to? An open place in the wood where bees buzz loudly

必读英美文学经典作品20本 American Literature 1、The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Howthorne《红字》霍桑著 小说惯用象征手法,人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩,在描写中又常把人的心理活

动和直觉放在首位。因此,它不仅是美利坚合众国浪漫主义小说的代表作,同时也被称作 是美利坚合众国心理分析小说的开创篇。 2、The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 《哈克贝利.芬历险记》 简称《赫克》是美国文学中的珍品,也是美国文化中的珍品。十六年前【1984】 ,美国文坛为《赫克》出版一百周年举行了广泛的庆祝活动和学术讨论,也出版了一些研究马克吐温,特别是他的《赫克》的专著。专门为一位大作家的一本名著而举行如此广泛的纪念和专门的研究,这在世界文坛上也是少有的盛事。这是因为《赫克》的意义不一般. 美国著名作家海明威说, "一切现代美国文学来自一本书, 即马克吐温的《赫克尔贝里芬历险记》……这是我们所有书中最好的。一切美国文学都来自这本书,在它之前,或在它之后,都不曾有

过能与之媲美的作品。 3、The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James 《贵妇画像》 亨利.詹姆斯著】 美国小说家亨利·詹姆斯的《贵妇画像》自问世以来一直受到文学评论界的关注,专家学者已从各个不同角度对女主人伊莎贝尔·阿切尔作了深入细致的研究。本文试图从一个全新的视角,即跨文化交际角度,剖析伊莎贝尔在婚姻方面所作的选择。文章指出她是该小说中跨文化交际的最大失败者,并对其失败原因作了分析。希望在跨文化交际日益频繁的今天我们都能从伊莎贝尔的生活经历中得到某种启发。

浅谈英语系下英美文学对比与分析 英国文学与美国文学是当今社会影响范围最为深广的两类文学,对于英美文学的研究屡见不鲜。英美两国的文化具有一定的差异性,但是美国曾经是英国的殖民地,文化之间又有一定的共通性。英国文学历史悠久,文学体系完备,文学发展依照历史的发展而逐渐变化,文艺复兴时期的莎士比亚是英国文学与文化的象征,十七世纪的革命诗人弥尔顿,十八世纪启蒙主义思想引导下的各个散文作家,十九世纪的浪漫主义与现实主义的思潮影响下的诗人与剧作家,二十世纪现代主义思潮影响下的艾略特、乔伊斯……而美国文学与本土文化息息相关,体现着多元化与复杂性。在殖民时期,美国作家的作品受到英国文学的深刻影响,例如泰勒的诗得益于约翰?多恩和乔治?赫伯特的影响。在独立革命时期,美国文学逐渐形成了具有特色的民族文学,在浪漫主义思潮影响下的超验主义,极具本土特色的废奴小说。在南北战争时期,美国的现实主义文学逐渐开始发展,马克?吐温的乡土文学,詹姆斯的心理分析小说,以及黑人小说。在两战期间,现代主义思潮影响了以海明威为代表的“迷惘的一代”。二战后期,后现代主义思潮影响下的“垮掉的一代”,“黑色幽默”。英美文学的对比与分析范围比较广泛,本篇将以三大文学思潮:浪漫主义、现实主义、现代主义在英美的发展来进行对比。 一、浪漫主义思潮时期

浪漫主义是在现实生活的基础之上,以热情奔放的语言,绚丽多彩的想象,直白夸张的表现形式,抒发对理想世界的追求。浪漫主义思潮比较注重个人情感的表达与抒发,具有浓烈的主观色彩。一是英美文学都是以诗歌为奠基石,但所占的立场不同。浪漫主义文学分为积极与消极,英国浪漫主义代表作家“湖畔诗人”就是消极派的代表,他们对资本主义的工业与文明十分的排斥,大力歌颂宗法制的自然与社会生活。《抒情歌谣集》是华兹华斯与柯勒律治共同出版的,是英国浪漫主义文学的奠基之作,他们的理论与实践结束了英文古典诗歌的统治。美国浪漫主义文学是以惠特曼的《草叶集》为开端的,开创了美国民族诗歌的新时代,作者是站在激进的民主主义立场上进行歌颂的。二是美国的浪漫主义文学师承英国,但却富有美国色彩。美国作家受到英国作家的影响,同样喜欢抒发个人的情感,以及喜欢描绘异国的风光。但是在美国文学中突出表现的“西部开拓”却是一个极具特色的素材。在库伯《皮袜子的故事里》美国本土的自然风光与景物成为了人物品格的象征,形成了美国文学离开尘世,心向自然的传统。三是英国浪漫主义作品以诗歌为主,而美国的作品更加丰富独特。英国文学中第二代作家与“湖畔诗人”消极态度相反,主张争取民主与自由,雪莱的《西风颂》、济慈的《夜莺颂》。英文文学中也有具有代表性的历史小说、哥特小说。美国文学中有喜剧性寓言体小说、歌德式的惊险故事,边疆历险故事,社会现实小说。超验主义也是美国文学的一大特色。.
