英美文学经典作品是英语语言学习中的一个非常重要的组成部分,一个良好的英语语言水平离不开英美文学作品阅读的训练。下文是我为大家整理的关于英美文学 毕业 论文优秀 范文 的内容,欢迎大家阅读参考!英美文学毕业论文优秀范文篇1 试析英美文学中的 文化 问题 摘要:语言与文学作品能够准确地反映出一个民族文化环境中的习俗、信仰和普遍价值取向,在学习英美文学的过程中,也必然会接触到作品中所含有的各种文化知识,学校开设英美文学课程的主要目的在于培养学生的阅读欣赏能力以及在英美文学阅读中的理解能力,高等学校对英美文学课程的重视对于学生提高自身的英语水平起到了很大的作用。 关键词:英美文学文化问题历史文化背景 随着经济全球化趋势的不断加快,英美文学逐渐成为高等院校非常重视的一门专业必修课程,学校开设英美文学课程的主要目的在于培养学生的阅读欣赏能力以及在英美文学阅读中的理解能力,高等学校对英美文学课程的重视对于学生提高自身的英语水平起到了很大的作用,但是随之而来产生了一些文化问题,很多学生由于对英美文学缺乏深层含义的了解而逐渐丧失英美文学阅读的兴趣,这就要求我们在阅读英美文学的过程中要将语言学知识掌握扎实,广泛了解英美文化知识,从而不断增强英美文学课程开设的积极意义。 一、文化因素在英美文学中的重要性 随着我国与世界各国之间的联系越来越密切,跨文化能力逐渐成为英语教学过程中的重要组成部分,在英美文学的教学中也逐渐显示出其强大的生命力,语言本身就是一种文化,而语言与文学作品又能够准确地反映出一个民族文化环境中的习俗、信仰和普遍价值取向,我们在学习英美文学的过程中,也必然会接触到作品中所含有的各种文化知识,在英美文学的学习过程当中,学习者的个人情感因素非常重要,而其所掌握的文化知识也是不可或缺的。 在传统的英美文学教学中,我国的大部分高校文学教师都过分注重对文本阅读的重视和对英美文学作品的研究,忽视了指导学生对英美文学创作背景的认识,这样的教学方式使得大部分学生在学习的过程中缺乏基本的文化理解能力,对于英美文学中的文化因素不能做到深入的了解,对所阅读的英美文学作品中的文化内涵缺乏认知能力,使得学生在阅读英美文学作品时只能浮于表面,无法准确揭示文学作品当中的深层文化意义。 任何一门文学课程的学习都需要学习着具备较强的文化思想,并且具备一定的理解能力,而要想不断提高自身在学习文学作品当中的理解能力,就需要学习者首先对这门文学所产生的背景文化知识有一个深入的了解,一个优秀的文学学习者在文化 经验 、认知能力、语言学知识等各个方面都应当有较强的造诣,在英美文学的学习过程当中,学习者掌握一定的语言文化知识固然很重要,但是仅仅掌握语言文化知识也远远不够的,要想真正将英美文学的内容了解透彻。 我们还应当不断加强对英美文化背景知识的认识,只有借助于英美文化背景知识的帮助,学习者才能真正深入了解英美文学中的文化内涵,对于英美文学中所展现出的生活方式、宗教习俗、思维模式、价值取向、历史发展状况等有一个基本的把握,真正理解作品中所具有的思想感情,这种对于文学作品的理解能力的培养不是一朝一夕的过程,在这一过程中,学生必须坚持不懈,文学教师也应当指导学生掌握正确的 学习 方法 ,养成科学阅读英美文学作品的良好习惯,使学生在学习中不断提高阅读英美文学作品的能力,提高自身的文学素养。 二、英美文学学习中所出现的文化问题 1、英美文学学习中的社会文化问题。 任何一种语言实际上本身就是一种文化,而且在语言的发展过程中,社会文化也能够对其产生一定的影响,语言是文学作品组成的重要元素,在不同的社会环境中所形成的语言文化是不同的,这就使得文学作品在创作过程中不可避免地要受到社会文化的影响,例如,我们现在常常说“艳照门”、“捐款门”中的这个“门”字实际上代表的是一种“丑闻”的意思,那么“门”字的这层意思是如何而来的呢,这就要联系到一定的社会背景,自此以后,人们在遇到一些社会丑闻问题时便常常联想起这一事件,“门”字也就逐渐由了另一层的文化意义,由此看来,了解一个民族的社会文化背景对于学生理解英美文学的深层含义是具有重要意义的。 2、英美文学学习中的地区文化问题。 我们所说的地区文化实际上就是一种在特定的地区环境中所逐渐产生的带有地区文化特色的文化,学生在学习英美文学的过程中如果对这些地区文化不了解,就有可能造成文学时的障碍,例如,在学习诗人雪莱的《西风颂》的时候,如果学生对于英国的气候有一个准确的了解,就有可能理解不了作者为什么会把“西风”写成一种像打着春天脚步的风的形象,因为在我国,一提到西风,大家一般会联想到“西风凛冽”这个词,在文学作品中,西风不仅代表气候的不适宜,也常常在作品中衬托一种压抑、苦闷的心情,而在地处高纬度的英国,西风具有非常温暖舒适的特点,这种地区间的文化差异,也容易造成学生在学习英美文学作品时的困惑。 3、英美文学学习中的历史文化问题。 历史文化因素在任何一种文学作品中都是非常具有影响力的,文学作品本身就是对民族历史文化的反映,是在社会历史发展的过程中逐渐产生的,如果学生在学习英美文学作品的时候对英美国家的历史文化不了解,在理解作品含义时也就不可避免的会出现一些文化障碍问题,我国在历史发展的过程中与西方历史存在着很大的不同,如果对这种历史发展进程中的差异性不能做到准确的把握,就极容易产生一些阅读障碍。 4、英美文学学习中的宗教文化问题。 世界上的很多文学作品都涉及到伊斯兰教、__、佛教等宗教文化因素,各个国家和地区所信仰的宗教文化也是不同的,宗教文化的分布不同,使得各国文化在发展的过程中也相应地受到了一些影响,并且不同国家在宗教方面的信仰能够体现这一地区的一定的文化禁忌,如果对这种文化禁忌不够了解,就很有可能造成文学作品理解中出现障碍,像我们国家,信仰较多的宗教就是佛教、道教和儒教,这些宗教对文学创作者的思想产生着极为深刻的影响,也极大的影响了我国文学作品中的文化内涵,而对于英美文学作品,它们的内在涵义自然也会受到所在地区宗教文化的影响,欧洲大多数人都信仰基督__我国的宗教文化信仰存在着很大的不同,而这些不同常常会使得中国学生在学习英美文学时存在很大的理解困难。 例如,“an after life”根据__的宗教文化就是指人死之后的时光,而如果不了解西方的宗教文化,学生是不可能将这个词语联系到“死后”的,再如,一个犹太人穿着黑袍在路上走,如果有其他的犹太人让他脱下黑袍,就说明这个人是背弃了自己的犹太信仰而被大家多唾弃的,因为黑袍在犹太心目中就是犹太教的象征,因此,我们可以看出,加强对宗教信仰差异性的认识对于理解英美文化是非常重要的。 总结 针对我国英美文学 教育 中的文化问题,文学教师在教学中一定要全面掌握文学作品创作中的历史文化知识和背景材料进行准确的阐释,引导学生加强对英美文学中的文化问题的重视,增强学生吸收英美文学作品文化知识的敏感度,使学生在学习英美文学的过程中能够掌握科学的学习方法,养成阅读英美文学作品的良好习惯,全面提高学生的文学素养。 参考文献: [1] 付美艳.英美文学教学在高校教育中的重要性[J] [2]

要:英美文学深受《圣经》影响,没有一部《圣经》,英美文学史就要改写。英美文学与《圣经》有着千丝万缕的联系,本文拟从两个方面来探讨英美文学中的《圣经》现象:一是《圣经》的观念和精神深刻地影响着英美文学;二是《圣经》乃英美文学创作素材的主要来源。 关键词:英美文学 《圣经》 观念和精神 素材 作为世界文学的一个重要组成部分的英美文学有两大传统根基:古希腊、古罗马神话与《圣经》。如果离开了这两大根基,英美文学就无从谈起。自中世纪以来,《圣经》有“唯一的书”和“书中之书”的称号,作为英美社会流传最广,影响最深,发行量最大,读者最多的一本书,《圣经》的观念和精神已经深深地渗透到英美人的意识之中。英美几乎所有重要的诗人、作家都与《圣经》中的思想和意象紧密相关。这使得客观、中肯地探寻《圣经》对英美作家作品的各种影响,对于全面、准确地把握英美文学发展的脉络和规律,具有极其重要的理论意义和实践意义。 一、英美文学中体现《圣经》观念和精神 《圣经》自始至终鲜明地贯穿着仁慈、宽恕和博爱的基督精神,《圣经》中关于仁慈、宽恕和博爱的箴言和训诫比比皆是。这些箴言和训诫告诉世人,有了爱,一切过错和仇恨皆可化解,爱是把一切真,善,美和谐地联系一起的纽带。《加拉太书》(Galatians)云:“要通过爱心彼此服侍,因为全部的法律合成一句话,那就是爱人如己。”(For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’―Chapter 5,Galatians,New Testament)许多英美作家深受这一精神的影响,其作品中更是无时不刻不透露和表达着这一中心思想。 在莎士比亚的许多作品,博爱是其主题思想。如:《罗密欧与朱丽叶》,它被世人誉为一曲永世不衰的“爱”与“美”的颂歌。通过蒙太古和凯普莱特两大家族的世仇纷争与两家儿女之间的生死恋,反映出原本美好的爱被邪恶的仇恨激起的械斗所破坏,而该剧的结局中却吐露出“和谐”的光芒,表达了向前看的积极乐观朝气昂扬的精神。 这里体现出了强烈的基督精神,即用“爱”去化解一切罪恶。而剧中的男女主人公罗密欧与朱丽叶,从这个意义上说,恰是一对年轻的殉道者,他们用自己的行动和“爱”化解了两大家族之间的刻骨仇恨。 再如:十九世纪俄国伟大的小说家――列夫•托尔斯泰,他也是一位虔诚的__徒。他一生的追求和所有著作,都与基督__仰有着千丝万缕的联系。他在代表作《复活》这部小说中宣扬宽恕和博爱,勿以暴力抗恶,提倡人性自我完善。 托尔斯泰认为男女主人公,聂赫留朵夫公爵和妓女玛丝洛娃精神上的“复活”,正是__精神的“复活”和人性的复归。聂赫留朵夫公公爵作为一个陪审官,当他在法庭上发现被告妓女玛丝洛娃正是年轻时代被他诱奸过的少女卡秋莎时,他良心发现了,并开始了一系列的忏悔赎罪活动,最后得到玛丝洛娃的宽恕,感受到爱与善的力量。这表明了《复活》这部长篇小说所宣扬的正是《圣经》所倡导的博爱精神。 英美文学中,贯穿《圣经》仁慈、宽恕和博爱__精神的作品比比皆是,英美文学对《圣经》观念的继承主要体现在:人性原罪、上帝审判、神性救赎、道德完善、神圣之爱……要更全面地理解英美文学的艺术魅力,必须要对英美文学中的《圣经》的观念有深刻的认识。 二、英美文学以《圣经》为创作素材 “《圣经》虽不是文学书,但具有很高的文学价值。”“《圣经》的意义对于每一代人都有不同的新启示”。圣经是文学作品永恒的母题,也是英美作家取之不尽、用之不竭的素材宝库。由于《圣经》在英美享有广泛的读者,可以说,《圣经》中的 故事 和人物在英美国家是家喻户晓,作家引用或化用《圣经》 典故 叙事说理,更易为读者所接受,还可以丰富作品的涵义,深化主题。因此,英美作家在文学创作中总是自觉或不自觉地以这种或那种方式引或化用《圣经》典故。 1.直接引用。 最易辨认的是作家直接引用《圣经》的词句或人名作为自己作品的标题或人物名称,以便引起作品与《圣经》相对应的联系;或者直接引用《圣经》故事,作为创作素材。如:怀特的《乘马车的人》小说题目即:出自《圣经•旧约》的《以西结书》,暗示了小说精神折磨和赎罪的主题;斯坦贝克的《伊甸园之乐》等标题取自《旧约•传道书》第一章;美国南方文学的代表作家威廉•福克纳的名著《押沙龙,押沙龙!》,从书名到故事情节都借用《圣经》中大卫王与逆子押沙龙的故事;戈尔丁的《塔顶》中的主人公牧师约塞林综合了亚当、该隐和撒当等三个圣经人物。 美国作家海明威的成名作《太阳照样升起》,其题目便是摘引《旧约全书•传道书》第一章第五节中的一句话。这表明二十世纪英美文学和《圣经》文本之间存在着明确的对应关系,在作品主题、人物等方面具有同一结构。 在二十世纪英美文学的重要作家中,自称“英国国教式的天主教徒”的T•S•艾略特较早提倡用“神话手法”来创作。而他的神话主要来源于《圣经》。艾略特在他的诗歌创作中成功的运用了“死亡与再生” 、“寻找圣杯”、“火与水”、“赎罪与救难”等《圣经》典故,挖掘现代人的内心世界,将古代与现代连接起来,使作品具有厚重的历史感,并且极大地增强了作品的象征意义,使其作品具有永恒的艺术魅力。 2.采用特殊手法化用。 有些英美作家并不直接引用《圣经》的典故,没有走完全蹈袭的道路,而是根据自己思想的表达,对《圣经》典故原型进行变形处理。英国文学史上有着最古老的作品之一美誉的长诗《贝奥武夫》中就已谈到上帝,并说妖怪格兰代尔是该隐的后裔。该隐是《旧约全书•创世记》中的人物。他是上帝造出的第一个男人亚当和第一个女人夏娃的儿子。他出于嫉妒把弟弟亚伯诱杀了,因而成为世间第一个罪人。虽然《贝奥武夫》对《创世纪》的故事进行了变形处理,但说嗜血成性的格兰代尔是该隐的胄裔是合乎《圣经》精神的。 拜伦的神秘剧《该隐》,主题也是《圣经》故事。不过同情革命的拜伦在《圣经》故事的运用方面采用了偷梁换柱的手法。按照《圣经》的传统说法,该隐出于嫉妒,杀死弟弟亚伯,因而上帝罚他到处流浪,成了丧家之犬。然而在拜伦的笔下,该隐的形象却迥然不同。该隐对上帝的善表示怀疑,对父母和弟弟卑躬屈膝地趋奉上帝的态度和做法非常鄙夷。拜伦把魔鬼撒旦作为不畏强暴、渴求自由的化身,并加以着意刻画,让他开导和激励该隐去反抗贪得无厌、暴戾恣睢的上帝。 英美作家化用《圣经》典故的另一种方法是:通过比喻、隐喻或象征等手法,作家把《圣经》故事的寓意融汇到作品的情节或人物的性格里,使这些故事发挥有力的陪衬和烘托作用。 不了解《圣经》故事背景的人,在理解这类文学作品时,便难免流于表面和肤浅。《威尼斯商人》第四幕第一场里,女扮男装的鲍西娅在法庭上以律师的身份出现,佯装驳斥巴萨尼奥提出变通法律的要求,让残忍的夏洛克在一片敌视的气氛中感到欣慰异常。 他情不自禁地欢呼道:“一个但尼尔来做法官了!真的是但尼尔再世!聪明的青年法官啊,我真佩服你!”这里莎士比亚就化用了一个《圣经》典故,《旧约全书•但尼尔记》说,但尼尔才智过人,判案如神。在法庭上孤立无援的夏洛克,在绝望中突然听到同情的声音,欣喜中称年轻的律师为但尼尔是很自然的。如果不理解莎士比亚的化用《圣经》的手法,对这一幕戏就很难理解通透。 总结 圣经》不仅是一部宗教典籍,它更是一种思维、情感方式,它的观念和精神深远地影响了英美人对历史社会、人类命运、个体生命等问题的看法,使罪与罚、道德与上帝、生命与永恒、仁慈、自由、博爱、平等、良心……成为了英美文学创作最基本的思想内容。浮在海洋上的冰山,露出水面的尖端只是整个冰山的一小部分而已。恰似《圣经》之于英美文学,就是冰山的基础同山巅的关系,英美文学作品中有时一行诗,一句话,甚至一个语词,后面都有丰富的《圣经》故事做支撑。

It is a long poem, telling a story in the form of ballads .The poem can be approached as a dream voyage to another realm, as a story of sin and expatiation, or as the quiet essential representation of the alienated isolated modern individual. 一、作者简介 塞缪尔·泰勒·柯尔律治(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)1772年10月21日生于英格兰西南部德文郡一个乡镇牧师的家庭。9岁丧父,被送往伦敦基督慈幼学校上学,熟读希腊、罗马文学。19岁入剑桥大学,与骚塞相识。当时两人都同情法国革命,但又都害怕革命暴力,于是设想去美洲建立乌托邦社会。计划失败后柯尔律治移居英格兰部西部湖区,致力于写诗,并与华兹华斯结成密友。他憎恶资本主义城市文明和冷酷的金钱关系,于是远离城市,隐居于昆布兰湖区,寄情山水或缅怀中世纪的宗法社会。他们创作出歌颂大自然的或美化宗法制农村生活方式的诗篇,以抵制丑恶的资本主义现实。因此被称为“湖畔派诗人”。1798年,两人合作出版著名的《抒情歌谣集》。同年他与华兹华斯兄妹到德国 留学 ,被康德的哲学和耶拿派的诗歌理论和创作所吸引。回国后继续居住于湖区,与华兹华斯保持往来。柯尔律治年青时代即患有风湿痛等多种疾病。为求镇痛他长期服食鸦片竟至上瘾,故健康大受损害。晚年他贫病交加,1834年7月25日逝世于海格特。柯尔律治的作品以真的细节描绘超自然的神秘事物,令人甘愿暂时不去考虑普通情理而信以为真,并在领略到一种怪异的美的同时获得教益或良知的觉醒。柯尔律治的创作实践和理论建设,不仅影响过他的同时代人,也影响了包括和他政治态度相左的拜伦、雪莱和济慈,而且,对于时至今日的诗歌艺术探索者,仍具有重要的借鉴价值。他在英国文学史上有重要地位,是浪漫主义思潮的重要代表。 二、《苦舟子咏》简介 《苦舟子咏》是柯尔律治唯一一部完整的长诗。这部长625行的叙事谣曲是一个神秘恐怖的浪漫故事:一名老水手对一个赴结婚宴的客人讲述了他自己的可怕的故事。客人想走开,赶快去赴宴,却为老水手眼中的特殊表情所吸引住,不得不站在那里把这个故事听完了。老水手和同伴们坐了一艘船出海去。一路上很平安。然后遇到了一阵暴风,暴风过后,这位水手却无端地射杀一只了航海者认为好运象征的信天翁。因此,厄运又降临了。船驶进静海中,那里没有风也没有浪;太阳如火如荼地照耀着。海水绿绿地满载着腐物。船停在那里不动,老水手被视为这次厄运的造因者。水手们都渴得要死去,仿佛有一只船要驶进救他们却又消失不见了。那是一只幻船,水手们一个个都死在甲板上,每个死者的眼光都注定在这位杀死信天翁的水手身上。全船的人,只有他没有死。后来,他对于自所做的恶罪觉得悔恨。于是天使们可怜他的悲苦,使死尸们站了起来,仍去做水手们的职务。他们开上了帆。虽然没有风,船却渐渐地移动。于是,这船一直驶到了老水手的故乡。一个领航者离了海岸,出来迎接。但在他到这船之前,它却突然地沉下了,留下了这位老水手在海波中与死神挣扎着。他被领航者所救。后来,他一想起那时受的言之不尽的痛苦,便不能忍。他的心在体内烧着,一直到了把这可怕的故事说了出来,方才觉得舒服。 三、分析老水手的心理历程 “自由、平等、博爱”是资产阶级道德重要规范。“自由、平等、博爱”的 口号 是资产阶级革命时期提出来的。它既是资产阶级的政治主张,又是资产阶级道德的重要内容。这一口号的提出不仅在政治上曾经起过推动历史进步的作用,而且在人类道德发展史上也是一个巨大的进步,因为它否定了人身依附关系,肯定了人身自由;否定了等级特权,肯定了人的平等;否定了把人不当人的非人道主义的博爱思想。一句话,肯定了人的尊严、价值以及个人对幸福的追求。所以,它对个性的张扬和自我意识的发展,对人们挣脱禁欲主义、蒙昧主义、等级主义的枷锁都起到了巨大的革命作用。 西方____的万物泛神论主张神无处不在,万物都是神的表象。这种主张认为:上帝就等于万事万物;任何个别事物就是上帝;世上的事物实际上都是虚无的。 在这两种思想的支配下,作者把信天翁认为是基督____徒。老水手无端地射死了信天翁,表示他拒绝社会给他的礼物,他除掉了深爱自己并代表超自然的事物,也就除掉了对这个世界的感情。老水手违反上天的指意,违反自然规律,射死了无辜的信天翁,必然要受到惩罚。于是,灾难来了:风停了,船无法前进,阳光酷热,水手们口干舌燥。这时候,有人指责老水手——“你怎敢放肆,将神鸟射死!是它引来了南风。”此时,老水手开始意识到自己行为的错误。于是,他开始不断地感到内疚。心理学认为,在道德情感系统中,羞耻感是其中的一个元素。毕达哥拉斯要求人们对自己言行进行反省以后,就应该在内心里对卑劣的行为感到羞耻、悲哀和恐惧;对善良行为感到欣喜。沙莆慈伯利认为,道德上的善恶主要取决于感情系统中的羞耻感。他说:“凡出自不公正的情感所作的,就是不义恶行和过失;如果情感公正、健全、良好,并且情感的内容有益于社会,而且还是以有益于社会方式施行,或有所感动,这就必定在任何行动中构成我们所说的公平和正直。”不义、恶行和过失将引起人们的羞耻感。羞耻感是个人的自我道德意识的一种表现,表示一个人对自己的行为、动机和道德品质的谴责时的内心体验。良心是羞耻感的的主要作用机制,常表现出焦虑、羞愧和内疚等情绪。道德焦虑是一种复合情绪。其中,痛苦和畏惧是主要构成“因子”。但它仅以避免外在处罚为目的,是低级形式的羞耻感,可又是羞耻感发生的基础。那么,羞耻感的真正作用是什么?是内疚,只有内疚才是高度的主体意识的产物,它激活潜在的思维和力量,专注与对过失的懊悔和追悔的行为,促进个体的心理成熟。如果个体内疚匮乏,那他将对道德不屑一顾,达不到“有羞知格”的认识。同时,羞耻感要以自尊为前提,一个没有自尊的人是不会知耻的,更不会自责。自尊体现了对自我社会话的切近,没有自尊的防卫,就不可能有自责的意识和行为的发生。老水手对自己的不道德行为知耻,惭愧和悔恨。老水手真是由于良心发现才深感自己行为的错误,于是惶惶终日,不断自责自己。 事态进一步发展,在他忏悔和祈祷下挂在脖子下的鸟掉下来了,但是同行的水手都因为缺水而一个个地死去,只有老水手一个人活着。这似乎是上帝对他的又一个惩罚。他一方面觉得自己的罪行深重,导致了其他水手的死亡——痛苦;另一方面在茫茫大海中,一条船上就他孤零零的一个人——恐惧。于是他的内心又经历了一场痛苦与恐惧的考验。良心是每个人自身内部的道德评析,是自己对自己行为道德价值的认识、认知、判断、态度、感情、体验、意向、意志、动机等一切心理反应活动。老水手不断对自己惊醒良心谴责。良心的基本因素是感情,感情是对需要的体验,是心理的动力因素。它一方面产生良心的认知因素,推动自己去判断自己行为的道德价值;另一方面则产生良心意志因素,推动自己做出改过迁善的选择。在行为过后,良心对行为的后果有影响和评价作用。对于履行了道德义务并产生了好后果的影响和行为,它便于进行自我谴责,使人感到内疚、惭愧和悔恨。这种自我谴责,往往能形成一种力量,促使人们改正自己的行为。 后来,老水手虔诚地祈求海蛇破开魔法,他才获救得以回家。人非圣贤,孰能无过?人生在生活中不免发生道德过失。道德反省就是通过对道德过失的追悔,从而激励人们采用新的道德行为去补救已经酿成的道德不幸,并且通过对道德过失的觉醒为将要开始的道德行为提供罗盘。道德反省的实质在于主体对自己已作的道德选择进行批判性的分析,是在主体已经体验到自己的道德行为存在着过失的情况下,从而进行的对自己内心的深刻 反思 。通过反思,要为今后的行为提供新的路线和方案,明白来者可追,逝者可补。在今后的行动过程中,要用千倍的补偿替代原有的损失;通过反思,主体对自我发展和自我需要与社会道德的系统会领悟得更加深刻。 故事的最后,老水手回到了家。于是出现了开篇的那一幕:他极力拉住去赴婚宴的人,让他们听他讲这个离奇的故事——他想寻找听众,承认自己的错误,说出自己的故事,解除内心的痛苦——赎罪。尽管老水手已经虔诚忏悔,但还是有种负罪感难以释怀,于是他渴望被人理解,宣泄出来以排除内心的痛苦。生活也是这样,当我们遇到困难、痛苦的时候,不要封闭自己,找一个忠实的听众,把自己的苦恼说给他听。这是一种释放压力的好 方法 。 总之,柯尔律治的这首诗歌以神秘、怪诞著称,其中的心理描写可谓是典范!诗歌探讨了罪与罚、善与恶,生与死等哲学问题,宣传了一切生物皆上帝听造的教义。但诗歌的真正价值并不在故事本身或它所包含的哲理上,而在以造型艺术的精确性和音乐的流动感为读者创造了一幅幅神奇的海洋画面:时而风平浪静,沉寂安宁;时而风暴骤起,一片喧嚣。在写作此诗时,柯尔律治并不熟悉大海,但他能凭借想象,使真实的情形与幻想的景象互相交织,把平凡的细节与诗意的象征融为一体,充分显示了瑰丽奇特的想象能力。在诗艺上,长诗将英国民歌的自由与古典文人诗的谨严冶于一炉,炼就出适合表达浪漫主义情绪的活泼自然的诗体,而长诗的音韵与节奏之美,也表现了诗人能让文字进行歌唱的本领。

学的数字世界里,它的功能是计算,秩序严谨,职司分明,是 实数;而在人类 心灵的数字世界中,它的功能是表义,许多数字经过“神化”后成为“玄数”、 “虚数”、“ 天数"。它们有着极其丰富的外延和内涵。"(王秉钦,1998) 由于受东西方文化传统、宗教信仰、语言崇拜、地理环境等方面的影响,数 字的神化存在着东西方的差异 ,但也存在着共性,有着共同的规律。在"数的 灵物崇拜"上各民族都有普通性。东方人有自己心目中的"天 数",而西方人 也有自己心目中的"神数"。神秘数字的演化规律一般经过"神化—泛化—虚 化"的过程。( 王秉钦,1998) 东西方已有不少有关数字科学的专著和论文, 如毕达哥拉斯(phythagoras) 学派的T·丹齐克的《数 科学语言》(商务印书馆,1998),英国人伦拉德·法 拉的《七的探源》;国内也有不少学者就数字写过著作 和论文,并开展过学术探 讨。如,王秉钦教授在其《语言与翻译新论》的中篇第六章就以"数的语义范围 比较 与翻译"为专题;苏金智曾写过《数的灵物崇拜》(载〈语言、社会、文化》 440页, 语文出版社,1991,1) 等。在1998 年南昌大学主办的"中国英汉语 比较研究会第二届年会暨第三次学术研讨会"上,英汉文化对比专 业委员会会 员曾就中南工业大学外语学院吴玲英老师的《中西文学中"以三为法”的文化模 式》展开了激烈的 讨论。本人认为东方人,尤其是中国人,自己心目中的天数 是"九"而不是"三",也并非完全是因为"九" 是"三"的倍数。 二、东西方数字"九"的文化对比分析 在我国,人们之所以把"九"看成是自己心目中的"天数"和最富有神奇色 彩的数字, 是因为"九" 这个数字的象征意义(symbolicmeaning),在我国可 以说历时最久,涉及面也最广。 "九"作为数不同于一 般数字,在中国古代被 认为是一种神秘的数字,它起初是龙形(或蛇形)图腾化之文字,继而演化出"神 圣" 之意,于是中国古代历代帝王为了表示自己神圣的权力为天赐神赋,便竭 力把自己同“九”联系在一起。如天 分九层,极言其高,天证/诞日为正月初 九,天子祭天一年九次。更有趣的是连皇宫建筑都与"九"有关。例 如,北京 城有九门,天安门城楼面阔九问,门上饰有九路钉(即每扇门的门钉纵横各九排)。 汉语词汇中也常 用"九"来形容帝王将相的称谓,如"九五之尊"(imperial throne);称官位仅次于皇帝的王爷为"九千岁 "等。 根据阴阳五行与数的关系,万物之根均为数,宇宙也是数。数始于1而终于 10,五行也是数,按传统的五行 理论来划分,则1、2为木:1为阳木,2为阴 木。以3、4为火:3为阳火,4为阴火。以5、6为土:5为阳土,6为 阴土。 以7、8为金:7为阳金,8为阴金。以9、10为水:9 为阳水,10为阴水。这 就是将"象"、"数"与五行 结合起来推演变化,用以显示事物发展变化的内 在联系。由此看来,"九"是最大的阳数,象征着天。 传说 古 代中国人把天分 为九层,九层天是天的最高处,汉语中有关词汇有"九重霄"(指极高的天空, "九霄云外" ,"九天揽月","九天九地"等。另外,天坛,这个明清两代 祭天的场所,其建筑无处不体现着“九”的象 征意义。 民间传说中还有"九头 鸟"(nine-headed bird: a fabulous bird whose appearance was f ormerlyregarded as a bad omcn)的故事。 中国人以"九"为大数,刘师培在《古书疑义举例补》一书中写道:"凡数 指其极者,皆得称之为'九' ;"《素问》中说:"天地之数,始于一,终于 九。"因此,汉语中有"九九归一"或"九九归原"之说。因 从"九"为数之 极而引出人生之限,故"明九"或"暗九"均为人生之"坎",避讳有“九”之 岁。例如:“ 老太太因明年八十一岁,是个暗九。"(《红楼梦》)。日本人一般 认为"九"是"苦命和痛苦"的象征,因 为"九"与"苦"同音,因此忌讳 "九"。然而,《外语与外语教学》曾报道过国内一位学者曾为考证这一点 ,采 用"全选法"将日本某地电话号码其中的几千个姓和名分别进行统计,结果发现 将"九"作为姓的只占极 少数(约占),而将"九"作为名的却不少(约 占35%)。看来,日本人忌讳"九"也并非绝对。 此外,《词源》中说:"九:虚指多数。""九"作虚数解时,是数的一种 语义模糊现象。《现代汉语词 典》中,"九"的意思有三个:(1)数目,八加一 后所得;(2)从 冬至 起每九天是一个"九",从一"九" 数起,二"九"、三 "九",一直数到九"九"为止。冬练三九,夏练三伏;(3)表示多数或多次: 九泉,三 弯九转等。因此, 汉语中有不少和"九"有关的 成语 。如:"九牛一 毛"、"九死一生"、"九牛二虎之力" 、"九流宾客"等等。 在我国,数字"九"涉及面在所有数字中最广。含有数字"九"的词汇也十 分丰富。如,"九州"是指传 说中的我国上古行政区划,后用作"中国"的代 称。因此,有的全国性的电视节目就取名为“九州方圆”;“ 九族"(the nine degrees of kindred: either thenine generations from one's great-great-gr andfather down toone's great-great-grandson;or four generations of one'spatemal relations, three generations of one's matemalrelations, and two generations of noe's wife's relatio ns),古代有一种残酷的刑法叫"诛灭九族";古代传说 "龙生九子,各有所好"。因此,《红楼梦》第九回 中用"一龙生九种,种种各 别"来比喻贾氏家族族大人多,龙蛇混杂,好坏不一,各种各样的人都有。还有 " 九龙杯"等。此外,在文娱、体育等词汇中,数字"九"也比比皆是。如, 许多歌名都以"九"开头:"九妹 "、"九九艳阳天"、"九百九十九朵玫瑰" 等;乐器中也有"九音锣";在体育活动中,"九柱戏"(nine pins),兵器中 有"九节鞭"[但这与西方文化中的"九尾鞭”(cat-o '-nine- tails: an instrurnent of punishment so calledfrom the nine pieces of leather or cord which compose it)意义不大一样]。 地名中也有一些以"九"开头的,如"九 寨沟"、"九华山"、"九江"和"九龙"等。此外,中国人常把" 九"看成 为吉祥数字之一。在申请电话号码时,人们宁愿多出 钱去买一个尾数为"8"或 "9"的吉祥号码。比 如,湖南有线电视台的"欢乐热线"号码为"16899919"。 在西方,数字"九"也是人们心目中的"神数"之一。对西方人来说, "九"的象征意义是"神性"、 "神圣之至"。 英语权威字典Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary and Webster's ThirdIntema tional Dictionary 中 对"九"所解释的意义比《现代汉语词典》所解释的意义还多,分别有: 1)one more than eight, three threes, the square of three;2) nine units of objects (a tota l of nine) ; 3) a: thenumerable quantity symbolized by the arabic numeral 9; b: thefigure 9 ; 4) nine o'clock——compared Bell table, timeillustration; 5) the ninth size in a set series: as a; aplaying team of nine members, baseball team; b:the firstor last 9 hol es of an 18-hole golf course…。 其中收入与"九"有关词语和成语多达近二十条。常用的有: a nine-day's wonder (an object or event that creates ashort-lived sensation) ____Those political expositions…that make a nine day'snine wonder till something fresh c omes alone——Mary Deasy. nine times out of ten(very often) be dressed up to the nines(elaborately dressed, as for aformal occasion) ____She dressed herself up to the nines and went to theparty. in the nineholes:in the difficult situation nine-men's morris: morris played with nine counters A cat has nine lives: A cat can move so fast and jump sowell that he seems to escape being killed many times. 从以上的解释还可以发现一个规律:数字"九"及其倍数在西方也被广泛运 用于文娱和体育活动中。如, 保龄球(bowling )中的瓶状木柱数(ninepins) 为"九"; 高尔夫球 球场有一十八个洞:跳子棋的棋板上各 方均为九个孔; 古 时英国还有一种九个男人一起跳的舞蹈(morrisdance)等。由此看来,数字"九" 也倍 受西方人的青睐。 总之,在东西方文化中,数字"九"含有以下主要共性: 1)东西方大多数人把数字"九"看成神秘的数字, 其象征意义均有"神 圣"之意。 2)在东西方文化中,数字"九"均可虚指多数。 3)数字"九"被广泛运用于文体项目中。 数字“九”在东西方文化中的个性恐怕主要在于:对中国人来说,其神奇色 彩要比西方人更浓;其象征意 义的历史在东方文化中比西方文化中更悠久;其 涉及面在东方文化中比西方文化中更广泛。 三、数字"九"的翻译问题 罗马西塞罗说过:"翻译不是字当句对,而是保留语言的总风格和力 量。""按分量而不是按数量译词" 。此处所说的数字是指经过神化、泛化、 虚化了的"虚数","实数"的翻译不在此例。根据这一理论,结合 东西方文 化的共性与个性,可采用如下的翻译方法,并遵循以下的翻译原则。 可采取的翻译方法主要有: (一)保留原数字 . We thought our cat would be killed when he fell fromthe roof of the house. He was not, he used up one of his ninelives. 我们以为我们的猫从屋顶掉下来会死了,它并没死,只失掉九条命中的一条。 这样翻译过来,人们很容易接受,因为人们已熟悉"猫有九命"这个成语, 并能够促进东西方文化的融合 。 (二)转换成各民族喜爱的数字 out of ten——十之八九 nine days' wonder———可翻译为"昙花一现", 这样翻译可以加深对奈 达的"对等"和纽马克的"转 换"翻译理论的理解。 (三)增舍数字 比如,"九死一生"可翻译成"a narrow escape from death;survival after many hazards";又如 ,"九九归一,还是他说的话对。"可翻译成"All things considered,what he says is right."其译文均 舍弃了数字,转译其 形象意义。 应遵循的原则主要有: (一)民族性原则 比如,汉语中的"费了九牛二虎之力",《汉英词典》(外研社,1996)的译 文有三个:"strain onese lf to the limit; use everyounce of one's strength; make herculean efforts"。笔者认为第二种译文 "use every ounce of one's strength "更符合"民族性原则”,成功地将东方文化中该成语的比喻意义转 化成了西方文化语言中的形象意义。 (二)习语性原则 比如:"匡超人此时恍若亲见瑶宫仙子,月下嫦娥,那魂灵都飘到九霄云外 去了。"(《儒林外史》), 其译文为"Kuang felt that he was gazing at a goddess and his spirit had flown to heaven."这种译 文因遵循了"习语性原则", 充分地体现了人类交际行为的一个最根本原则——语言——符号的经济原则。 (三)形象性原则 数字用于模糊意义时,一般都失去了其数量意义而具有形象意义。翻译时, 必须越出其理性意义而捕捉其 与 其它 的词结合后所产生的形象意义。 比如:"飞流直下三千尽,疑是银河落九天(李白)。"此句诗中的"九天" 的形象意义为"极高的天空 ",因此,可翻译成"Down itcascades a sheer three thousand feet—As if the Silver River [. the Milky. Way]were falling from heaven!"猜你喜欢: 1. 毕业英语论文范文 2. 英美文学毕业论文优秀范文 3. 商务英语专业毕业论文范文 4. 大学英语毕业论文范文 5. 英语专业论文范文 6. 本科英语专业论文范文

The title of my paper is On the Significance of Drama Method in the Improvement of English Learning in Chinese Rural Junior High School. I choose this as my topic due to the following reasons. First of all, I really want to be a teacher, so during the four years, I have read many books about how to become a good teacher. Secondly, when I was a freshman in the summer of 2008, I was chosen as a teaching assistant of the summer camp which was organized by the New Oriental English School in Shijiazhuang. In the summer camp, I rewrote a script of an English drama to be one of the programs of the open ceremony. It was very popular among those students. They thought it was very interesting. In 2010, I was practiced as an English teacher at Chenguantun Middle School in Qinhuangdao, I found that the students have little interest towards English learning, so I hoped I could help them. So I use the Drama Method as my teaching method. Almost all of the students were highly motivated by the interesting teaching method and they have made great progress in the exam one month later. So the research proved that the Drama Method can be used as an effective teaching method. For the above facts, I select the subject of On the Significance of Drama Method in the Improvement of English Learning in Chinese Rural Junior High School as the title of my paper. I hope by studying this topic we can find an effective teaching method to help all the students’ English learning in junior high school.
Next, it is an outline of my paper. In the main part of this paper, I divide it into five parts.
Part one presents an introduction to identify the major problem of junior high school students’ English learning problems
Part two overviews all relevant researches in drama application in teaching oral English.

stant encouragement and guidance, I have finished my paper. Now, it's show time. You and I will work hard to welcome any topic of my thesis is 《Angela carter to mythology research - the female archetype in “new eve passion”, for example》。 I choose this as my topic due to the following Carter (1940-1992) is an outstanding feminist writer whose influence on Britishwomen's writing was “pivotal in this opening and transformation” [“23]. The year 2014 represents the 22”^ anniversary of Angela Carter's death. In those twenty-two years, her works have been widely taught internationally and brought about much critical debate. In a survey conducted by Cristina Bacchilega and Danielle M. Roemer [2],Carter is one of the most commonly taught women writers on North American programs. She has endowed us with an amazingly large number of legacies in her comparatively limited life, setting foot in various fields such as novels,short stories,children stories, dramas, non-fictions and so on. The acute observations with great insights,as well as the devastating wit and poignant mockery in Carter's works have made her stand out as an iconic figure in English literature. Many scholars and critics have devoted themselves to the research on Angela Carter from many perspectives,including gothic, magic realism, feminism,post-modernism and so on. As a prolific writer who is always ready to blur the boundaries between different genres, Carter has left us a wonderful world to delve the emergence of western women's movement as well as the development of feminist criticism in the 1960s,the feminist approach has become a potent weapon for those who are concerned with the emancipation and legal rights of women. Though women's social status has considerably improved due to the contribution made by countless predecessors,the fundamental problem still lingers on. Carter, with her versatile and avant-garde reputation, is best known as a feminist writer. Concerning the dilemmas and predicaments faced by women nowadays,it is very necessary for us to probe into her insightful and penetrating reflections on femininity as well as the relationship between two genders. The Passion of New Eve, as one of Carter's most representative works, is of great value in the research of her feminist thoughts and , is my paper outline. In the main part of this article, I put it into five one is an introduction to the thesis, covering the research background, theobjective and significance as well as the organization of the two presents a broad picture of Angela Carter's life and her works, as well as the background information about The Passion of New Eve. It also reviews previous studies on Angela Carter and her works at home and abroad, summarizing achievements in the past and pointing out new directions in the three conducts a retrospective study on feminism and archetypal criticism. The author attempts to work out the origin and development of feminism, demonstrating the important role feminism plays in Carter's life. Then is the history of archetypal criticism,as well as those classic female archetypes in mythology. Regarding those fossilized and monotonous images as impediments to women's freedom and liberation,Carter endeavors to shatter them in her demythologizing strategy and appeals for a rational attitude toward heterosexual four is the main body of the thesis. Through an in-depth analysis on The Passion of New Eve,it demonstrates Carter's demythologizing of “The Temptress,,,”Mother Goddess“and ”Eve“ respectively in the text. Leilah,the embodiment of Delilah,the famous temptress in the Bible,cannot escape the fate of being objectified by men and herself. By exposing”temptresses“ as mere victims rather than symbols of viciousness. Carter condemns the oppression and exploitation of women in a patriarchal society. ”Mother“ in Beulah serves as a severe satire on those mother goddesses in mythology. Carter smashes the legend by revealing the surgically-made essence of mother and the patriarchal values lurking behind her alleged matriarchal kingdom, warning against the peril and impracticality of extremist her most convincing example goes to Eve, the most important female character in the Bible, Her transformative journey from a chauvinist to a real woman in the story illustrates that gender, rather than a hereditary feature, is the result of social influence and unremitting imitations. Carter concludes the story with proposing ”androgyny“ as a solution to the current problems,implying that mutual respect and understanding is the only way to achieve the harmony between the two five comes to a general conclusion, summarizing the limitations of the theses as well as some suggestions for further ! That is all. Thank you!
Good morning, distinguished professors and teachers, thank you for attending the oral defense. I’m *** and come from class *. My supervisor is professor Li. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Prof. his consistent guidance and valuable suggestions, I have finished my paper. Now I will present my efforts to you and gratefully welcome any suggestion.
Firstly, I am very interested in the study of ambiguity. Ambiguity is a common phenomenon in all natural languages. As is known to all, in our daily conversations, ambiguity is often employed to achieve the effect of humor, thus creating a relaxing atmosphere and letting people feel at ease. Some jokes caused by ambiguity is very interesting.
Secondly, I have read several articles about ambiguity written by linguistics and scholars. I found my knowledge of ambiguity is very limited, superficial and nonsystematic. What I knew is just the tip of the iceberg. So I plan to learn more about ambiguity by this research.
Thirdly, I found many scholars have carried out numerous studies of ambiguity, but a majority of these studies are focused on single language separately. Articles about comparison between English ambiguity and Chinese ambiguity are not sufficient. So it is necessary to make further study.
For the above facts, I select this title.
Next, I will present the outline of my thesis. It consists of 7 parts.
The first part gives a brief introduction to the ambiguity and structure of the thesis.
The second part is literature review, briefly introducing the development of study of ambiguity and some scholars’s main views.
The third to fifth parts focus on three types of ambiguity in English and Chinese: phonological ambiguity, lexical ambiguity, syntactic ambiguity. In every broad type, I respectively list some detailed branches and cite some vivid English and Chinese examples to explain these ambiguity phenomena. But I put more focus on the third part and point out two differences of ambiguity between English ambiguity and Chinese ambiguity.
The part six will point out positive results by using ambiguity deliberately in daily conversations, advertisements and literary works.
The last part is the conclusion.
I hope by this contrastive research, we will have a better understanding of ambiguity in English and Chinese and apply it to our life and study.
When reading the final draft, I still find my argument is not so comprehensive and improvements are needed. So welcome your precious suggestion.
That’s all. Thank you.
