Reference NotesUnit 7 Exploring Human NatureReading FocusOn Human NatureInformation notes1.This passage is adapted from "What is human nature?", a chapter in An EternalCareer, written by Frank and Lydia Hammer, the companion book to their another book Life and Its Mysteries(1945). Published in 1947 by Dorrance Publishing Company in Philadelphia, An Eternal Career was scanned at in June 2007. It is the largest freely available archive of online books about religion, mythology, folklore and the esoteric on the Intemet. The site is dedicated to religious tolerance and scholarship, and has the largest readership of any similar site on the web.This passage follows the typical format of an argumentative with reasoning being the main means of argumentation. The beginning paragraph introduces the main idea: Human nature is the basis of chal'acter, the temperament and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon which the character is built, and whose shape it must take and keep throughout life. The body part unfolds the characteristics of human nature. And the ending paragraph concludes the text by echoing the point of the second paragraph: human nature does not and can not change. Further, the author points out that we can only endeavor to understand man as he is.The most striking feature in terms of language style is the frequent use of rhetoric techniques. The parallelism, in particular, appears for eight times within a passage less than 900 words. It is the co-work of such techniques as simile, metaphor, personification, repetition and rhyme that create the effect of being lucid, concise and convincing.2.The exploring and defining of human nature has always been a topic of interestamong philosophers, politicians, and writers across all of the written history. There are a lot of interpretations for us to refer to concerning the characteristics of human nature:Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, holds that man is bad, and that all men are innately evil and aggression lies within them as a part of his nature. ThomasHobbes (1588—1679), an English philosopher, believes that humans are bom equal.He identifies three principle causes of quarrel in the nature of man: competition, diffidence (or distrust), and glory. Competition is for gain, diffidence is for safety, and glory is for reputation. It is the competitive human nature that renders people apt to invade and destroy one another. William Shakespeare, in the play Hamle t, shows human nature to be greedy, self-involved and vengeful. In his work The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, Mark Twain portrays the town of Hadleyburg as greedy, hypocritical, and morally vulnerable with his outstanding tone of humor and satire. Human nature from his viewpoint embraces two significant factors: socially acquired consciousness about morality, and the greedy, instinctive desire for material wealth. Throughout the story of The Strange Case Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, the author, Robert Louis Stevenson,presents his assumption of a dual human nature--the good side and evil side exist in everyone. He gives the impression that human nature is a constant battle between good and evil.参考译文我对人类的了解越多，对他们的期望就越低。
研究生英语综合教程上之unit7的summary
On Human NatureHuman nature is the basis of character,the temperament and disposition；it is built on nothing but that indestructible matrix.it takes the shape of that matrix and keeps it for lifetime.Characteristics of human nature are obviously shown through lifetime. Eight of them unfolded below.A:human beings’ nature does not and cannot change,the surface can change only,and only customs,manners,dress and habits can we choose;B:Nobody wants to change his own nature，each man regards him as a special individual，he is different from others;C:Human nature is loyal to itself，systems of faith or education does little effect on it，and the inherent qualities cannot erase，we can modify them only.D:the constancy of human nature is known to all,no one can totally change his nature,just as you know,good guy is good,bad guy is bad,we tend to keep the character which was formed before.E:Now that human nature is unchangeable,we can studyit,when we master it,we can become the controller and director of our own nature.F:Human’s spirit is always perfect,but when it combined with imperfect structures，it turned out to be the imperfection of the structures，which means the outer man—the personality and the physical body—becomes imperfect;G:Man’s majesty and nobility are taken for granted,only behaviors deviated from the normal attract attention.we focus on the unusual things rather than the normal ones. H:Man’s inherent goodness is revealed by his countless acts of heroism,unselfishness and sacrifice.From all these evidence above，we can prove that human nature is unchangeable,we can only try ti understand man as he is.。
