英国国旗演变简史

英国国旗,俗称“米字旗”,正式称呼是“the Union Flag",也常常称为“the Union Jack"。Jack 是海军用语,指悬挂在舰首的旗帜,英国军舰舰首都悬挂国旗,因而得名。Union Flag是意为“联合旗帜”。

它是深蓝底色的红白米字旗。这面旗帜由英格兰的白底红色正十字旗,苏格兰的蓝底白色斜十字旗和爱尔兰的白底红色斜十字旗合一而成。后来爱尔兰岛的一部分脱离了英国,国旗也未再改变。国旗上没有代表威尔士地区的形象,因为设计时,威尔士早已与英格兰合并了。英国国旗上的十字分别代表英格兰守护神圣乔治、苏格兰守护神圣安德鲁以及爱尔兰守护神圣帕特里克。

英格兰圣乔治的白地红十字旗产生于1200年,随后被英格兰采纳为国旗。苏格兰的圣安德鲁的蓝地白色“X”型十字旗,最早于8世纪时出现,但直至13世纪时才被苏格兰正式用作国旗。1606年,詹姆斯一世统一英格兰和苏格兰时,将这两面旗帜图案重叠起来,作为大不列颠的国旗。爱尔兰的圣帕特里克的白地红色“x"型十字旗,最早是爱尔兰菲茨诺德家族的旗帜;1801年,爱尔兰与大不列颠联合组成王国后,这面旗帜又与大不列颠国旗重叠,最后形成了大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国的这面构图奇特的“米字旗”

国际贸易的历史发展

国际贸易的历史发展 一、资本主义社会以前的国际贸易 (一)国际贸易的产生 国际贸易属于历史范畴,它是在一定历史条件下发展起来的。具有可供交换的剩余产品和存在各自为政的社会实体,是国际贸易得以产生的两个前提条件。 在原始社会早期,生产力水平极为低下,人类处于自然分工的状态。公社内部人们依靠共同的劳动来获取十分有限的生活资料,并且按照平均主义的方式在全社会成员之间实行分配。当时没有剩余产品和私有制,也没有阶级和国家,因而也没有对外贸易。 人类社会的三次社会大分工,一步一步地改变了上述状况。第一次大分工是畜牧业和农业之间的分工。它促进了生产力的发展,使产品有了剩余。在氏族公社的部落之间开始有了剩余产品的相互交换,但这还只是偶偶的物物交换。第二次社会大分工是手工业从农业中分离出来,由此而出现了直接以交换为目的的生产即商品生产。它不仅进一步推动了社会生产力的进步,而且使社会相互交换的范围不断扩大,最终导致了货币的产生,产品之间的相互交换渐渐演变为以货币为媒介的商品流通。这直接引致了第三次社会大分工,即出现了商业和专门从事贸易的商人。在生产力不断发展的基础上形成了财产私有制,原始社会的末期出现了阶级和国家。于是商品经济得到进一步发展,商品交易最终超出国家税的界限,形成了最早的对外贸易。 (二)奴隶社会的对外贸易 从总体上来说,奴隶社会是自然经济占统治地位,生产的直接目的主要是为了消费。商品生产在整个经济生活中还是微不足道的,进入流通的商品很少,加上生产技术落后、交通工具简陋,各个国家对外贸易的范围受到很大限制。 从国际贸易的商品构成来看,奴隶是当时欧洲国家对外交换的一种主要商品。希腊的雅典就是那时贩卖奴隶的一个中心。此外,奴隶主阶级需要的奢侈消费品,如宝石、香料、各种织物和装饰品等,在对外贸易中占有重要的地位。奴隶社会的对外贸易虽然有限,但对手工业的发展促进较大,在一定程度上推动了社会生产的进步。 (三)、封建社会的对外贸易 封建社会取代奴隶社会之后,国际贸易有了很大的发展。尤其是从封建社会的中期开始,实物地租转变为货币地租,商品经济的范围逐步扩大,对外贸易也进一步增长。到封建社会的晚期,随着城市手工业的进一步发展,资本主义因素已经开始了孕育和生长,商品经济和对外贸易都比奴隶社会有明显的发展。 封建社会时期开始出现国际贸易中心。早期的国际贸易中心位于地中海东部,公元11世纪以后,国际贸易的范围逐步扩大到地中海、北海、波罗的海和黑海沿岸。城市手工业的发展是推动当时国际贸易国发展的一个重要因素。而国际贸易的发展又促进了社会经济的进步,并促进了资本主义因素的发展。 从国际贸易的商品来看,在封建时代仍主要是奢侈消费品,例如东方国家的丝绸、珠宝、香料,西方国际的呢绒、酒等。手工业品比重由明显的上升。另一方面,交通运输工具,主要是船只由较大的进步,国际贸易的范围扩大了。不过从总体上说,自然经济仍占统治地位,国际贸易在经济生活中的作用还相当小。 二、资本主义生产方式下国际贸易的发展 国际贸易虽然源远流长,但真正具有世界性质是在资本主义生产方式确立起来之后。资本主义生产方式之下,国际贸易额急剧扩大,国际贸易活动遍及全球,贸易商品种类日渐增多,国际贸易越来越成为影响世界经济发展的一个重要因素。而在资本主义发展的各个不同时期,国际贸易的发展又各具特征。

1. How much do you know about the English literature in the Romantic Age? ①The Romantic Age in England was like the Elizabethan Age, distinctively an age of poetry. It was regarded as the second great age in English literary history; for poetry is the highest form of literary expression, and seems to have been most in harmony with the noblest powers of the English genius. The glory of the age is in the poetry of Scott, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelly, Keats, Moore, and Southey; ②Women novelists appeared in this age. It was during this period that women assumed for the first time, an important place in English literature. Mrs. Anne Radcliff was one of the most successful writers of the school of exaggerated romance. Jane Austen offered us her charming descriptions of everyday life in her enduring work her masterpiece----Pride and Prejudice; ③The greatest historical novelist Walter Scott also appeared in this period. His historical novels combine a romantic atmosphere with a realistic description of historical background and common people life. Scott marked the transition from romanticism to the period of realism which followed it; ④Romantic prose was represented by Lamb, Hazlitt, De Quincey and Hume. Lamb was the best essayist, whose familiar essays are very famous. 3.What are the major features of Dickens’ novels? ①Dickens’ novels offer a most complete and realistic picture of the English bourgeois society of his age. His novels tell much of the unhappy experiences of his own childhood. They reflect the protest of the people against capitalist exploitation, and criticize the vices of capitalist society. ② The success of Dickens novels also lies in his character-portrayal. Not only are the major characters in his novels very carefully delineated and given distinctive individual characteristics but also his minor figures create in the readers’ mind strong impressions of their personalities. Some of Dickens’characters are really such “typical characters under typical circumstances”that they become proverbial or are representative of a whole group of similar persons. ③Dickens is a great humorist and satirist. His novels are full of humor and satire ④Dickens is not especially known for the construction of plot in his novels. There is in his novels often more than one minor thread of story beside the major one, and these threads are generally very loosely woven together. He seems to love a complicated and involved plot. ⑤In almost every one of Dickens’ novels there is a happy ending, which points to the author’s optimism which is an admirable thing for a critical realist because that means his still has his hopes after seeing the gloomy world all around him and one hand, and as a petty-bourgeois intellectual, could not overstep the limits of his class on the other hand. ⑥Another feature in Dickens’novels is his adroit use of language. On the whole Dickens has a richness of expressions and generally succeeds in using the right words and phrases at the right moments for the right characters to attain the right effects. 12. What are the characteristics of Dickens’ novels?(同第三题)
