汉语百科名词解释2

汉语百科名词解释2

东南亚国家联盟,简称东盟(ASEAN)。

东盟的前身是马来西亚、菲律宾和泰国于1961年7月31日在曼谷成立的东南亚联盟。

1967年8月7-8日,印度尼西亚、泰国、新加坡、菲律宾四国外长和马来西亚副总理在曼谷举行会议,发表了《曼谷宣言》,正式宣告东南亚国家联盟成立。

东南亚国家联盟成为政府间、区域性、一般性的国家组织。

1967年8月28-29日,马、泰、菲三国在吉隆坡举行部长级会议,决定由东南亚国家联盟取代东南亚联盟建安风骨指汉魏之际曹氏父子、建安七子等人诗文的俊爽刚健风格。

汉末建安时期文坛巨匠“三曹”、“七子”继承了汉乐府民歌的现实主义传统,普遍采用五言形式,以风骨遒劲而著称,并具有慷慨悲凉的阳刚之气,形成了文学史上“建安风骨”的独特风格,被后人尊为典范。

无论是“曹氏父子”还是“建安七子”,都长期生活在河洛大地,这种骏爽刚健的风格是同河洛文化密切相关的。

“风骨”是中国文学批评史上的一个重要的概念,自南朝至唐,它一直是文学品评的主要标准。

托利党产生于17世纪末。

19世纪中叶演变为英国保守党。

托利党人参加了1688 年的“光荣革命”。

1714年汉诺威王朝建立后的半个世纪中,托利党在政治上一直处于在野地位。

18世纪中叶,托利党成为以土地贵族和上层英国国教徒为核心的政治派别,代表着英国贵族,地主和英国国教上层教徒的利益。

工业革命后,托利党逐渐向资产阶级保守主义转变,以适应政治经济发展的需要。

该党在教会和国家关系、保护关税政策和反对天主教问题上仍然保持旧偏见。

迷惘的一代是第一次世界大战后美国的一个文学流派。

20年代初,侨居巴黎的美国女作家格·斯泰因对海明威说:“你们都是迷惘的一代。

”海明威把这句话作为他第一部长篇小说《太阳照常升起》的题词,“迷惘的一代”从此成为这批虽无纲领和组织但有相同的创作倾向的作家的称谓。

所谓“迷惘”,是指他们共有的彷徨和失望情绪。

“迷惘的一代”尽管是一个短暂的潮流,但它在美国文学史上的地位是确定了的。

常春藤联盟

常春藤联盟
这八所大学都是美国一流大学,它们的历史悠久,治学严谨,教授水 平高,学生质量好,因此常春藤大学有着优秀的声誉。其中,康奈尔 大学建立于美国独立战争之后,其余7所大学均建立于美国独立战争之 前。独立战争之前,美国有八所大学。其中七所加入了Ivy 联盟,只 有威廉玛丽学院因为地理位置和运营模式的原因拒绝加入该联盟。
Time the study pain is temporary,has not learned the pain is life-long. 学习时的苦痛是暂时的,未学到的痛苦是终生的。
Studies this matter, lacks the time,but is lacks diligently.
此刻打盹,你将做梦;此刻学习,你将圆梦。 Thought is already is late,exactly is the earliest time. 觉得为时已晚的时候,恰恰是最早的时候。 Not matter of the today will drag tomorrow.
勿将今日之事拖到明日。
位于美国新泽西州的普林斯顿。它是美国殖民时期第四所成立的高等 教育学院.它是英属北美洲部分成立的第四所大学。虽然它最初是长老 制的教育机构,但是如今已经成为非宗教大学,对学生亦无任何宗教 上的要求。这所大学提供两种主流的本科学位:文学士学位和工学士 学位。
就如同其他英格兰在北美殖民地上的学校一般,普林斯顿保有浓厚的 欧式教育学风。创立宗旨上强调训练学生具有人文及科学的综合素养。 而最终的目的在透过其特有的教育方式, 以培养出本州及教会引以为 荣的学者。这项传统及今仍是校方强调的重点?而彰显宗教的意味 已 不复见。毕业校友秉承此一传统,在各行各界崭露头角?使普林斯顿盛 名得以不坠。例如毕 业校友中有州长,有好莱坞明星。而最值得一提 的是校友中有二位曾担任美国总统:他们是麦迪逊总统 (JamesMadison,1771)及威尔逊总统(WoodrowWilson,1879)。在学 术方面也因 教学相长之故。历届诺贝尔物理奖得主中,就有八位是普 大的教授?著名的相对论大师爱因斯坦亦曾於此任教并从事高等研究。 虽然欧式学风深深影响著普大但在英格兰殖民地上所点燃的独立战争 也一度使普林斯顿成为战争要地。例如校园中当前作为行政大楼的拿 莎堂(NassauHall)在独立战争中数度被独立盟军或英军作为军营及 医院的据点。一七八三年十三州联合代表大会 (ContinentalCongress) 于拿莎堂召开,盟军领袖华盛顿莅此致赠五十枚金币给普林斯顿大学, 以表彰其在战争中的贡献。这种欧式殖民与独立战争的历史冲击使普 大的学风更具传承与创新的双ree Lies

英美文学考试名词解释和简答(自己整理的)

英美文学考试名词解释和简答(自己整理的)

英美文学考试名词解释和简答(自己整理的)1.The glorious revolution (光荣革命): the overthrow(推翻、瓦解) of king JamesⅡof England takes place in 1688 by a union of parliamentarians with an invading army led by William of Orange who, as a result ascended(上升、登高)the English throne(君主、王权)as William Ⅲ of England. It was also known as White Revolution because it caused no bloodshed(流血、杀戮). It marked the real beginning of the constitutional monarchy in England.2. How did the “Glorious Revolution” break out? What was the significance of it?In 1685 Charles II died and was succeeded by his brother James II. James, who was brought up in exile(流犯)in Europe, was a Catholic; He hoped to rule without giving up his personal religious views. But England was no more tolerant of a Catholic king in 1688 than 40 years. So the English politicians rejected James II, and appealed to a Protestant king, William of Orange, to invade and take the English throne. William landed in England in 1688. The takeover was relatively smooth, with no bloodshed, no any execution of the king. This was known as the Glorious Revolution. William and his wife Mary were both Protestants and became co-monarchs. They accepted the Bill of Rights. It’s the beginning of the age of constitutional monarchy.2.Great charter (大宪章): Known as the Great Charter, it was the first famous political document to limit the king’s powers in English history. It was signed in 1215 by King John at a conference at Runnymede(兰尼米德), an island in the Thames River four miles downstream (下游的、顺流而下的)from Windsor(温莎). It containsaltogether 63 clauses(条款), among which the most important ones are: no tax should be made without the approval of the Grand Council(天庭会议); no freeman should be arrested, imprisoned, or deprived(缺乏教育的)of his property except by the law of the land;没有大议会批准不准征税;不得随意逮捕,拘禁自由民,不依照土地法不得剥夺其财产;The king must promise to observe the rights of his vassals(诸侯、封臣)and the vassals in turn must observe the rights of their men, and the king also should permit merchants to move about freely and should observe the privileges of the various towns. 2. Comments: The great charter was the first step of constitutional experiment. It tried to establish a legal relation between the king and his barons by defining their respective rights and obligations. The great charter made it possible for the new-born bourgeoisie to enter into politics because it granted some power to the great council which was the embryonic form of the English parliament. The great charter protected the rights of the merchant class. This facilitated(促进)the development of commerce and handcraft. (It was arguably the most significant early influence on the extensive historical process that led to rule of constitutional law today in the English speaking world.)3.Monarch: In law, the monarch has many supreme powers, but in practice, the real power of monarch has been solely(单独的,唯一的)onthe advice of her ministers. She reigns but does not rule(统而不治). The real power lies in the parliament, or to be exact, in the House of Commons. 2. The monarch actually has no real power. The monarch’s power is limited by law and parliament. The monarch symbolizes the tradition and unity of the British state, have a weekly chat with the Prime Minister, and to giveRoyal Assent to Bills passed by Parliament.(对议会通过的法案给予御准)4.The presidential elections: The general election, held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each election year, is technically divided into two stages. During the first stage, states elect their presidential electors. The number of presidential electors for each state is equal to the total number of its representatives in congress plus two senators. The total number of presidential electors for the nation is 538, with 3 from Washington D.C. I n the second stage (十二月的第三个星期一) the electors meet to elect the president. (electoral college)5.Ivy League(常春藤高校联盟): It was founded in 1954, an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions(体系)of higher education in the Northern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group and also has connotations(含义) of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism(精英主义).常春藤名校联盟:Brown University (布朗大学), Columbia University, Cornell University(康奈尔大学),Dartmouth College(达特茅斯大学), Harvard University, Princeton University(普林斯顿大学), University of Pennsylvania (宾夕法尼亚大学), Yale University6.Pilgrim Father (开国元勋): In September, 1620, a group of 101 puritans and some employees left Plymouth, England, and sailed for America in the ship named Mayflower. They founded the colony of Plymouth (普利茅斯) in New England. So these early puritans in New England were called the pilgrim father.7.New deal: 1. The New Deal included the following contents;(1) establishment and strengthening of government regulation and control of banking, credit and currency systems,overcoming the financial crisis and restriction of certain extreme practices of financial capital;(2) federal government management of relief and establishment of social security system such as the formation of the Civilian Conservation Crops and the setting-up of the Tennessee Valley Authority(田纳西州流域管理局);(3) Stimulation of the recovery of industry and agriculture;(4) formulation and implementation of federal labor laws to raise the role of labor in the relations of production; 2. Comments on the new deal: Roosevelt’s new deal was an American type of social reforms which was based on the new concept that the government was responsible for the healthy development of national economy and social security, and that the growth of production could be maintained only if the great body of the consumers could continue to purchase its output. No economy could develop if it was beset by overproduction and large stockpiles(库存). To achieve balanced development, the new deal increased government interference n the nation’s economic life, strengthening the trend towards big government. (The New Deal----In order to deal with the Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt put forward the New Deal program. It passed a lot of New Deal laws and set up many efficient social security systems. The New Deal helped to save American democracy and the development of American economy)8.Domesday Book (英国土地制度): It is a book compiled by a gr oup of clerks under the sponsorship of King William. The book w as in fact a property record. It was the result of a general survey of land resources. It was one of the important measures adopted by William I to establish the full feudal system in England9.Norman Conquest----The Norman Conquest of 1066 isperhaps the best-known event in English history. William landed his arm y in Oct, 1066 and defeated King Harold. Then he was crowned king of England on Christmas Day the same year. He established a strong Norman government and the feudal system in Engl and. 结果:(William confiscated almost all the land and gave i t to his Norman followers. He replaced the weak Saxon rule wi th a strong Norman government. So the feudal system was completely established in England. Relations with the Continent were opened, and civilization and commerce were extended. Norman-French culture, language, manners, and architecture were been introduced. The church was brought into closer connection with Rome, and the church courts were separated from the civil cour ts.)原因:(It was said that king Edward had promised the En glish throne to William but the Witan chose Harold as king. So William led his army to invade England. In October 1066, duri ng the important battle of Hastings, William defeated Harold and killed him. On Christmas Day, William was crowned king ofEngland, thus beginning the Norman Conquest of England.)10.Public school:(1) It is a kind of independent privately-owned secondary boarding schools in Britain. (2) These schools are financially supported by tuition fees and private funds.(3)Public schools have their own characteristics and strict rules. (4) These schools focus their attention on developing pupils’ minds as well as bodies.11.Roman invasion: The Roman first invaded Britain in 55BC.Itwas not until AD43 that they eventually conquered the Celts liv ing in what is today England and Wales.

1、ivy league 名词解释:常春藤联盟(The Ivy League)
2、在美国,"常春藤学府"一般隐喻著和高等学习院校有关,但只有一些学校被公认为"常春藤联盟"。

常春藤联盟由美国东北部之八所学校组合而成:布朗大学(Brown)、哥伦比亚大学(Columbia)、康乃尔大学(Cornell)、达特茅斯学院(Dartmouth)、哈佛大学(Harvard)、宾州大学(Pennsylvania)、普林斯顿大学(Princeton)、及耶鲁大学(Yale)。

除康乃尔大学外,所有这些学校均在美国独立战争前创设,每所院校的入学标准均非常严格。

这些学校之间的学术与运动竞争性纪录始於十九世纪末。

3、根据一种理论,"常春藤联盟"之原名应追溯到1937年,一位纽约报作者铸造了此名词,因美国最古老及最菁英的学校建筑物均被常春藤覆盖住。

另外一个理论对此名词的解释则较为古老,来自较早称之为"四联盟"(Four Leage)的运动协会,成员包括哥伦比亚大学、哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、和耶鲁大学。

根据第二个理论,在保持学术传统之时,"四联盟"(Four Leage)被写为罗马数字的"四联盟"(IV League)。

读英文字母时,"IV" 有著和"Ivy"同样的发音。

不论何种理论是正确的,到1954年时,"常春藤联盟"(亦是所谓的常春藤团体董事会议:the Council of Ivy Group Presidents)一词被正
式形成沿用。
