Franklin was a representative of the colonial period, the Enlightenment period, and the American revolution in the 18th century. He was a scientist, a writer, a politician, and an inventor. He is a humanist and believes in good human nature and advocates equality of human rights and political equality. His autobiographical autobiography once again explained that the United States has opportunities and can only succeed if it is diligent. His successful experience has had a far-reaching impact on Americans' outlook on life, career, and ethics. His autobiography also created a culture of American celebrity biography and established a tradition of biographical literature.

The Autobiography:它是美国第一部成功的传记体作品,是美国民族文学的早期代表作。自传不仅描写了一个成功者在美国建国前期取得的成就,其价值和意义还在于揭示这一人物内在道德品性的塑造过程。自传展示了他之所以成功,一方面是依靠自身的勤奋和信念的力量,另一方面还在于时代的造就。自传展示了18世纪美国的社会图景以及启蒙时代的精神风貌,塑造了一个全新的美国人的形象,并以个人的发展和成就再现了社会孕育的活力。对于美国个性的形成,有着重要长久的影响,同时也在一定程度上开始扭转欧洲人对美国的蔑视和偏见。

It is the first successful biography in the United States and an early masterpiece of American national literature. The autobiography not only describes the achievements of a successful person in the early days of the founding of the United States, but also reveals its value and significance in revealing the process of shaping the character's intrinsic moral character. Autobiography shows that he has succeeded. On the one hand, he is relying on his own diligence and the power of faith, on the other hand, it is also the creation of the era. Autobiography shows the social landscape of the 18th century in the United States and the spiritual outlook of the Enlightenment era, shaping a brand-new image of Americans

and reproducing the vitality of social gestation with personal development and achievements. For the formation of American personality, it has an important long-term influence. At the same time, it also begins to reverse the contempt and prejudice of Europeans to the United States to some extent.

复仇者:Montresor (monster)

被复仇者:Fortunato(fortunate)

Cask: casket棺材

两人都有性格上的缺陷,f的缺陷在明处,m的则是隐匿的。刻画这种区别的意图在于强化故事结尾高潮到来时应有的恐怖效果。小说的聚焦点正是m的老谋深算反衬出的人格中更深层次的缺陷。他比f 更邪恶、更可怕,没有节制的复仇欲望完全毁坏了他的灵魂。小说篇幅短小节奏很快,使用大量象征手法。

Both have personality deficiencies, f's defects are in the light, and m's are hidden. The purpose of portraying this distinction is

to strengthen the horror effect that should be achieved when the climax of the story arrives. The focal point of the novel is exactly the deeper flaw in the personality of m's old plan. He is more evil and more terrible than f, and his desire for revenge without temperament completely destroys his soul. The short space of the novel is very fast and uses a lot of symbolism.

中国四大名著作者作品及开篇词的简介

中国四大名着及开篇词的介绍 概述 现在中国的四大名着公认为:《三国演义》、《水浒传》、《西游记》、《红楼梦》。 精辟点评 四大名着是中国乃至全人类共同拥有的宝贵文化遗产,在整个华人世界中有着深远的影响。研读中国四大名着,是浏览中国古典文学的智能之海,也是阅历中国传统人文、社会、伦理、历史、地理、民俗、心理、处事策略的知识之库。 中国四大名着详细介绍 《三国演义》——最智 又名:三国志通俗演义 作者:(元末明初)罗贯中回数:共一百二十回 介绍:根据陈寿《三国志》,以及范晔《后汉书》、元代《三国志平话》和一些民间传说写成。现所见刊本以明嘉靖本最早,分24卷,240则。清初毛宗岗父子又做了一些修改,并成为现在最常见的120回本。是中国第一部长篇章回体小说。 《三国演义》故事开始于刘备、关羽、张飞桃园三结义,结束于王浚平吴,描写了东汉末年和三国时代魏、蜀、吴三国之间的军事、政治斗争。文字浅显、人物形象刻画深刻、情节曲折、结构宏大。 元末明初,我国的小说创作进入了一个新的时期,尤其是章回体小说步入日臻完善的阶段。中国的第一部章回体古典小说《三国演义》,即《三国志通俗演义》,就是通过生活在这一历史时期的、杰出的小说大家——罗贯中的椽笔诞生并风行于世的。他在我国的文学发展史上,建树了不可磨灭的伟大功绩。同时,为世界文学的宝库,也增添了灿烂的光彩。 《三国演义》描写的是从东汉末年到西晋初年之间近一百年的历史风云。全书反映了三国时代的政治军事斗争,反映了三国时代各类社会矛盾的渗透与转化,概括了这一时代的历史巨变,塑造了一批咤叱风云的英雄人物。在对三国历史的把握上,作者表现出明显的拥刘反曹倾向,以刘备集团作为描写的中心,对刘备集团的主要人物加以歌颂,对曹操则极力揭露鞭挞。今天我们对于作者的这种拥刘反曹的倾向应有辩证的认识。尊刘反曹是民间传说的主要倾向,在罗贯中时代隐含着人民对汉族复兴的希望。 《三国演义》刻画了近2000个人物形象,其中最为成功的有诸葛亮、曹操、关羽、刘备等人。诸葛亮是作者心目中的“贤相”的化身,他具有“鞠躬尽瘁,死而后已”的高风亮节,具有近世济民再造太平盛世的雄心壮志,而且作者还赋予他呼风唤雨、神机妙算的奇异本领。曹操是一位奸雄,他生活的信条是“宁教我负天下人,不教天下人负我”(历史上是“宁我负人,休人负我。”,既有雄才大略,又残暴奸诈,是一个政治野心家阴谋家,这与历史上的真曹操是不可混同的。关羽“威猛刚毅”、“义重如山”。但他的义气是以个人恩怨为前提的,并非国家民族之大义。刘备被作者塑造成为仁民爱物、礼贤下士、知人善任的仁君典型。 作者罗贯中(1330年一1400年之间),名本,号湖海散人,明代通俗小说家。他的籍贯一说是太原(今山西),一说是钱塘(今浙江杭州),不可确考。据传说,罗贯中曾充任过元末农民起义军张士诚的幕客.除《三国志通俗演义》外,他还创作有《隋唐志传》等通俗小说和《赵太祖龙虎风云会》等戏剧。另外,有相当一部分人认为《水浒传》后三十回也是其所作。 《水浒传》——坚韧 又名:《忠义水浒传》、《江湖豪客传》 作者:(元末明初)施耐庵,另外,有相当一部分人认为《水浒传》后三十回是罗贯中所作。

作者及作品中文简介

作者简介 亨利·菲尔丁(Henry Fielding,1707-1754) 英国第一个伟大的小说家,英国小说得以定型的奠基人。是十八世纪英国四大现实主义作家之一,也是十八世纪欧洲最杰出的现实主义小说家之一。 菲尔丁出生于英国西南部格拉斯顿伯里附近的一个贵族家庭。父亲是上校军官,母亲是一位大法官的女儿。少年时代的菲尔丁过着富裕的生活,幼年受教于一个牧师,随后在伊顿公学接受中等教育。在16岁以前,他已经精通了希腊文和拉丁文,读了许多古典名著。1728年即21岁时,他赴荷兰的莱顿大学学习语言,兼攻法律。由于父亲再娶,资助中断,他在莱顿大学只念了一年就不得不退学。 1729年菲尔丁回到英国,他没有走同阶层的其他青年所走的道路--寻找有声望的保护者,而是决定自力更生。早在他刚满20岁的时候,他的处女作--五幕喜剧《带着各种假面具的爱情》就在伦敦上演了,一共演了28场。所以,他毅然选择了写剧本开始自己的职业生涯。由于他才学渊博、谈吐幽默,立即受到文艺界的欢迎,很快正式踏上伦敦剧坛。 刚开始,他翻译改编了莫里哀的喜剧《屈打成医》和《吝啬鬼》,接着就写出了比较成功的喜剧《生气的丈夫》和《法律公子》,从此与舞台建立了亲密的关系,成为职业剧作家。从1730年到1737年,他共写了25部剧本。这些剧本谴责贵族阶级的道德腐化,揭露英国政府的贪污腐败,艺术上广泛地吸收了民间戏剧的手法,把诙谐怪诞的成份与现实生活中的重大政治问题杂糅在一起,创造了社会政治喜剧这一体裁,因此锋芒毕露。伦敦剧院的老板们怕开罪权势集团,拒绝上演菲尔丁的戏剧。于是,菲尔丁和一个朋友合伙买下一个剧团,亲自主持小剧场戏剧。他的社会和政治喜剧触怒了当权的辉格党的首领。1737年,英国首相沃波尔爵士在议会通过了反民主的“戏剧检查法”,要求一切剧本上演14天送审,违者罚款并吊销执照。后来,为了进一步镇压,又实行了“扰乱治安法”,使伦敦的市民不敢去看菲尔丁剧团的演出。菲尔丁的剧院不得不关闭,他的戏剧生涯也就被迫结束了。 同年,菲尔丁在他31岁的时候改学法律,仅用了三年的时间就完成了七年的课程,于1740年取得律师资格,并曾在伦敦威斯敏斯特区任法官,又于1748年担任伦敦警察厅长,训练了最早的一批侦察犯罪活动的侦探警察。菲尔丁是个绝对正直的人,这种职业经历使他加深了对社会的认识,为创作积累了广泛的素材。 同时,菲尔丁还于1739至1741年主编《不列颠信使》(又名《战士》)杂志,发表了大量的杂文、书简和特写,成为他日后小说写作的准备阶段。
