An Analysis of the Character of Maggie in Everyday Use
Wang Yuefei No.37 Class two
Everyday Use is one of the prominent American writers in American black woman literature. She expended the theory of womanism, which gave great attention to the self-consciousness of black woman. In her short story Everyday Use, she gave three different images to explore the awakening of their heritage and self-consciousness. There are three main characters in the story. Mum, Dee and Maggie. Mum and Maggie live in a traditional way of the Blacks, while Dee praises the White. The whole story is full of conflicts between them. Now, I would like to share my analysis of Maggie with you.
In the story, Maggie is a timid, docile and weak girl. She didn’t have the quality of beauty, confidence and education like her sister. However, she is a mature individual and has the right attitude to the heritage.
In life, she is always nervous and stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs. Even she is dopey and hangdog before her sister. But in the conflict of the quilts, she also plays the part of simple and insignificant role without complaint. When Dee caught the quilts like they have already belonged to her. Maggie doesn’t become angry. Instead, she come out of the door and promise to give the quilts to her sister, like someone who is accustomed to never winning anything. Because she still can remember her Grandma without the quilts.
In the end, her mother grab the quilts from Dee to Maggie. Maggie can’t choose but smile, a real smile. She obtains her mother’s love and realizes that she though is inferior to her sister in some respects, she has the right view of life. She knows what is the true meaning of the heritage.
So our loyalty and inheritance of tradition lies not in the display, but really follow the simple pure thinking and way of life. We should inherit our traditional culture. Not make the words engrave on stone tablets for people to visit, but express in our real life.

高级英语近义词辨析整理
第1 课 1．destroy一词最为常见，主要强调破坏的力度之大和彻底，一般不带感情或修辞色彩。demolish和raze通常用于巨大物体，如大型建筑物等。demolish常用引申义，指任何复合体的被毁，如demolish a theory with a few incisive comments。意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。annihilate在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈，字面意思是“化为乌有”，但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。如说annihilate an enemy force，是指使敌军遭到重创，不仅没有还手之力。而且没有招架之功。如说annihilate one?s opponent in a debate，是指彻底驳倒对手。 2. decay常指某物自然而然地逐渐衰败腐化。如：His teeth have begun to decay．(他的牙齿开始老化变坏。) rot指有机物质，如蔬菜等因菌毒感染而腐败变质，如：rotting apples(烂了的苹果)。 spoil用于非正式文体，常指食物变质。如：Fish spoils quickly in summer。(鱼在夏天极易变质。) molder用于指物体缓慢、逐步地腐朽。如：Old buildings molder away．(老房子渐渐腐烂了。) disintegrate意指把某物从整体变为碎片或一个个部分。如：rocks disintegrated by frost and rain(被霜和雨蚀裂成碎块的岩石)。 decompose指将物质分解为其构成成分。如：Water can be decomposed(be decomposed)into hydrogen and oxygen．(水可分解成氧和氧。)该词还可用来替代rot，使语气略显委婉。 在给出答案之前，首先将该题中的几个语法术语解释一下。 The sentence fragment：片断句。一个合乎语法的完整句子必须具有主语和谓语这两种基本成分。从结构上来说，它应该是可以独立运用的语言单位。片断句是指像短语、从句、同位语以及其他诸如此类不能够独立使用的语言单位。写作时若错误地使用标点符号．将这类不能独立使用的语法结构当成句子分列出来，那便叫做片断句，练习中的第1、第3和第4句就是这样的非完整句，即片断句。 The run-on sentence:误用逗号连接句。该断句的地方没有正确地使用标点符号断句，而将两个或两个以上结构上各自独立完整而又互不从属的句子融合在一起成为一个不合语法、结构松散的句子称融合句。如果两个完整的句子中间只用逗号隔开而被错误地并成一个句子，这种句子便叫误用逗号连接句，练习中的第2句即是。The dangling modifier：垂悬修饰语。由非谓语动词(分词、动名词、不定式)组成的短语若使用不当，与其所修饰的成分没有实质上的联系，这种结构便叫垂悬修饰语。垂悬修饰语并非语法上的错误，只是修辞上的毛病，但仍应避免使用这样的结构，尤其是不要使用那些会产生歧义、引起误解的垂悬修饰语。练习中的第5、6、7、8句均含垂悬修饰语。 The illogical or faulty parallelism：误用平行句法。误用平行句法指用平行结构来表达并非平行的思想内容。这是应该避免的修辞上的毛病。不能将which或who引导的从句用and 与主句相联。关联连词(both…and，either…or等)只能用于联接句中起同一语法作用的平行成分。练习中的第9、10、11、12句都是误用平行结构的例句。 The shift in point of view：角度转换。不必要的甚至错误的角度转换是应该避免的。若非必须如此。一般不由主动语态转换成被动语态。人称及单复数也不应随便转换。练习中的第13、14、15句都是角度转换的例子。练习中的错句可改正如下：The basketball game was canceled because half of the players were in bed with flu． These snakes are dangerous. However，most snakes are quite harmless． 3．Looking out toward the horizon，she Saw only the old cabin in which Mary was born，a single cottonwood that had escaped the drought and the apparently boundless expanse of sunburned prairie． 4．We knew that although the documents have been stolen they have not yet been seen by a foreign agent． 5．Last year，after I had graduated from high school．my father put me to work in his office． 6．To appreciate the poem，one must read it aloud． 7．1 missed that film because l had to stay home to help my mother wash clothes last Sunday． 8．Driving across the state，one saw many beautiful lakes． 9．Unselfish people are not only happier but also more successful． 1O．I finally realized that my daydreaming was not making me beautiful and slender or bringing me friends． 11．He is a man of wide experience and also of great popularity among the farmers． 12．I am interested in electronics，which is a new field and which offers interesting opportunities 10 one who knows science．
高英3版第3课Blackmail-课文全文
Blackmail Arthur Hailey ○1The chief house officer, Ogilvie, who had declared he would appear at the Croydons suite an hour after his cryptic telephone call actually took twice that time. As a result the nerves of both the Duke and Duchess were excessively frayed when the muted buzzer of the outer door eventually sounded. ○2The Duchess went to the door herself. Earlier she had dispatched her maid on an invented errand and, cruelly, instructed the moon-faced male secretary –who was terrified of dogs –to exercise the Bedlington terriers. Her own tension was not lessened by the knowledge that both might return at any moment. ○3 A wave of cigar smoke accompanied Ogilvie in. When he had followed her to the living room, the Duchess looked pointedly at the half-burned cigar in the fat man’s mouth. “My husband and I find strong smoke offensive. Would you kindly put that out." ○4The house detective's piggy eyes surveyed her sardonically from his gross jowled face. His gaze moved on to sweep the spacious, well-appointed room, encompassing the Duke who faced them uncertainly, his back to a window. ○5"Pretty neat set-up you folks got.” Taking his time, Ogilvie removed the offending cigar, knocked off the ash and flipped the butt toward an ornamental fireplace on his right. He missed, and the butt fell upon the carpet where he ignored it. ○6The Duchess's lips tightened. She said sharply, imagine you did not come here to discuss décor ". ○7The obese body shook in an appreciative chuckle . "No, ma'am, can't say I did. I like nice things, though." He lowered the level of his incongruous falsetto voice." Like that car of yours. The one you keep here in the hotel. Jaguar, ain't it?"

高英五课文翻译
Unit1 One Writer's Beginnings作家起步时 1.我从两三岁起就知道，家中随便在哪个房间里，白天无论在什么时间，都可以念书或听人念书。母亲念书给我听。上午她都在那间大卧室里给我念，两人一起坐在她那把摇椅里，我们摇晃时，椅子发出有节奏的滴答声，好像有只唧唧鸣叫的蟋蟀在伴着读故事。冬日午后，她常在餐厅里烧着煤炭的炉火前给我念，布谷鸟自鸣钟发出“咕咕”声时，故事便结束了；晚上我在自己床上睡下后她也给我念。想必我是不让她有一刻清静。有时她在厨房里一边坐着搅制黄油一边给我念，故事情节就随着搅制黄油发出的抽抽搭搭的声响不断展开。我的奢望是她念我来搅拌；有一次她满足了我的愿望，可是我要听的故事她念完了，她要的黄油我却还没弄好。她念起故事来富有表情。比如，她念《穿靴子的猫》时，你就没法不相信她对猫一概怀疑。 2 当我得知故事书原来是人写出来的，书本原来不是什么大自然的奇迹，不像草那样自生自长时，真是又震惊又失望。不过，姑且不论书本从何而来，我不记得自己有什么时候不爱书——书本本身、封面、装订、印着文字的书页，还有油墨味、那种沉甸甸的感觉，以及把书抱在怀里时那种将我征服、令我陶醉的感觉。还没识字，我就想读书了，一心想读所有的书。 3 我的父母都不是来自那种买得起许多书的家庭。然而，虽然买书准得花去他不少薪金，作为一家成立不久的保险公司最年轻的职员，父亲一直在精心挑选、不断订购他和母亲认为儿童成长应读的书。他们购书首先是为了我们的前程。 4 除了客厅里有一向被称作“图书室”的书橱，餐厅的窗子下还有几张摆放百科全书的桌子和一个字典架。这里有伴随我们在餐桌旁争论着长大的《韦氏大词典》、《哥伦比亚百科全书》、《康普顿插图百科全书》、《林肯资料文库》，以及后来的《知识库》。“图书馆”书橱里的书没过多久我就能读了——我的确读了，全都读了，按着顺序，一排接着一排读，从最上面的书架一直读到最下面的书架。母亲读书最重要的不在获取信息。她是为了享受快乐而埋头读小说。她读狄更斯时的神情简直就像要跟他私奔似的。她少女时代读的小说印在了她心头的，除了狄更斯、司各特和罗伯特.路易斯.斯蒂文森等人的作品之外，还有《简爱》、《切尔比》、《白衣女士》、《绿厦》和《所罗门王的矿藏》。 5 多亏了我的父母，我很早就接触了受人喜爱的马克.吐温。书橱里有一整套马克.吐温文集和一套不全的林.拉德纳作品集，这些书最终将父母和孩子联结在一起。 6读摆在我面前的书，读着读着便发现一本又破又旧的书，是我父亲小时候的。书名是《桑福徳与默顿》。我不相信如今还有谁会记得这本书。那是托玛斯.戴在18世纪80年代撰写的一本著名的进行道德教育的故事书，可该书的扉页上并没有提及他；上面写的是《桑福徳与默顿简易本》，玛丽.戈多尔芬著。书中讲的是一个富孩子和一个穷孩子与他们老师巴洛先生之间的冗长的谈话，其间穿插着戏剧性场面——分别写了富孩子和穷孩子如何发火、如何获救。书末讲的道德寓意不是一条，而是两条，都印在环形图案里：“不管发生什么，该做的就去做”，还有“想做伟人，必须先学会做个好人”。 7 这本书没了封面，封底用几条纸片粘牢，有好几层，如今都泛黄了，书页上污迹斑斑，边角处都破碎了；书中花哨的插图脱了页，但都保存良好，夹在书里。即使在少不更事的童年，我就觉得那是我父亲小时候拥有的惟一一本书。他一直珍藏着这本书，或许还枕着这本没了封面的书睡觉：他7岁时就没了母亲。我父亲从来没跟自己的孩子提起过这本书，但他从俄亥俄一路把它带到我们的家，把它放进我们的书橱。 8 母亲则从西弗吉尼亚带来了那套狄更斯：那套书看上去也惨不忍睹——她告诉我，我还没出生，这些书就历经水火之灾，可现在它们还是整齐地排列在那儿——后来我意识到，是等着我去读。 9 从记事起我就收到给自己的书了，那是在生日时，还有圣诞节早晨。我父母真的是送给我再多的书都嫌不够。在我6岁或7岁生日时——那是在我自己能读书之后——他

高英翻译 第一课 1.动物之间的信息交流，不论其方式何等复杂，也是称不上交谈的。 2.闲聊中常常会有争论，不过其目的并不是为了说服对方。闲聊之中是不存在什么输赢胜 负的。 3.或许是由于我从小混迹于英国小酒馆的缘故吧，我觉得酒瞎里的闲聊别有韵味。 4.我记不起她那句话是在什么情况下说出来的——她显然不是预先想好把那句话带到酒 馆里来说的，那也不是什么非说不可的要紧话——我只知道她那句话是随着大伙儿的话题十分自然地脱口而出的。 5.每当上流社会想给“规范英语”制订一些条条框框时，总会遭到下层人民的抵制。 6.词语本身并不是现实，它不过是用以表达现实的一种形式而已。标准英语就像诺曼底人 的盎格鲁法语一样，也是一个阶级用来表达现实的一种形式。 7.让人们学着去讲也许不错，但既不应当把它作为法令，也不应当使它完全不接受来自下 层的改变。 8.要是有谁闲聊时也像做文章一样句逗分明，或者像写一篇要发表的散文一样咬文嚼字的 话，那他讲起话来就一定会极为倒人胃口。 9.看到E·M·福斯特笔下写出“当今这个时代的阴森可怖的长廊”时，其用语之生动及 由其所产生的生动有力、甚至可怖的形象令我们拍案叫绝。 10.那天晚上，如果我们当场弄清了“标准英语”的意义，也就不可能再有那一场交谈论辩。第二课 1.当你徒步走过这样的城镇——在20万当地居民中，至少有2万人除了罩在身上的一身 破布之外，其他一无所有——当你看到这些人如何生存，又如何轻易地死去时，你永远难以相信自己是在人类当中穿行。 2.当你经过犹太人居住区时，你就可能会了解中世纪的犹太人区大概是个什么样子。 3.这儿的许多街道还不及六英尺宽；而房子则没有窗户；眼睛红肿的孩子成群结队，像一 群群的苍蝇，四处可见，多得令人难以置信。 4.甚至一位盲人也从铺子后面爬了出来，手在空中胡乱摸索着。 5.啊，那只不过是装装样子。他们其实都是放债的债主。 6.想想与这相同的一幕吧：好几百年前，常有些可怜的老妇人因为拥有巫术而被烧死，但 她们却甚至没办法利用自己的巫术让自己饱餐一顿。 7.人们可以看到干巴巴的土地、仙人掌、棕榈树，还有远处连绵的群山，唯独看不到在地 里耕作的农夫。 8.摩洛哥的大部分土地都荒无人烟，能够在这里侥幸存活的野生动物没有比野兔更大的。 9.除了罕见的暴风雨过后的一两天之外，其余时间这里都缺水。 10.在原始社会里，妇女们到达一定年龄后，身材通常都会缩成孩子般大小。 第三课 1.我们今天举行的不是一个政党的祝捷大会，而是一次自由的庆典。这是一个承先启后、 继往开来的大事件。 2.此时此地我谨向我们的朋友，同时也向我们的敌人宣告：火炬已传到我们新一代美国人
