William James 英文介绍
William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was a pioneering American p sychologist and philosopher who was trained as a medical doctor. He wrote influ ential books on the young science of psychology, educational psychology, psycho logy of religious experience and mysticism, and on the philosophy of pragmatism. He was the brother of novelist Henry James and of diarist Alice James.William James was born at the Astor House in New York City. He was the son of H enry James Sr., an independently wealthy and notoriously eccentric Swedenborgia n theologian well acquainted with the literary and intellectual elites of his d ay. The intellectual brilliance of the James family milieu and the remarkable e pistolary talents of several of its members have made them a subject of continu ing interest to historians, biographers, and critics.James interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars throughout his life, including his godfather Ralph Waldo Emerson, his godson William James Sidis, a s well as Charles Sanders Peirce, Bertrand Russell, Josiah Royce, Ernst Mach, J ohn Dewey, Walter Lippmann, Mark Twain, Horatio Alger, Jr., Henri Bergson and S igmund Freud.Early yearsWilliam James, with his younger brother Henry James (who became a prominent nov elist) and sister Alice James (who is known for her posthumously published diar y), received an eclectic trans-Atlantic education, developing fluency in both G erman and French languages along with a cosmopolitan character. His family made two trips to Europe while he was still a child, setting a pattern that resulte d in thirteen more European journeys during his life. His early artistic bent l ed to an apprenticeship in the studio of William Morris Hunt in Newport, Rhode Island, but he switched in 1861 to scientific studies at the Lawrence Scientifi c School of Harvard University.In his early adulthood, James suffered from a variety of physical ailments, inc luding those of the eyes, back, stomach, and skin. He was also tone deaf.[3] He was subject to variety of psychological symptoms which were diagnosed at the t ime as neurasthenia, and which included periods of depression during which he c ontemplated suicide for months on end. Two younger brothers, Garth Wilkinson (W ilky) and Robertson (Bob), fought in the Civil War. The other three siblings (W illiam, Henry, and Alice) all suffered from periods of invalidism.James took up medical studies at Harvard Medical School in 1864. At Harvard he was inspired to study theology. He took a break in the spring of 1865 to join n aturalist Louis Agassiz on a scientific expedition up the Amazon River, but abo rted his trip after eight months, as he suffered bouts of severe seasickness an d mild smallpox. His studies were interrupted once again due to illness in Apri l 1867. He traveled to Germany in search of a cure and remained until November 1868. (During this period he began to publish, with reviews appearing in literary periodicals like the North American Review.) He finally earned his M.D. degr ee in June 1869, but never practiced medicine. What he called his "soul-sicknes s" would only be resolved in 1872, after an extended period of philosophical se arching. He married Alice Gibbens in 1878.James's time in Germany proved intellectually fertile, helping him find that hi s true interests lay not in medicine but in philosophy and psychology. Later, i n 1902 he would write: "I originally studied medicine in order to be a physiolo gist, but I drifted into psychology and philosophy from a sort of fatality. I n ever had any philosophic instruction, the first lecture on psychology I ever he ard being the first I ever gave"CareerJames spent almost his entire academic career at Harvard. He was appointed inst ructor in physiology for the spring 1873 term, instructor in anatomy and physio logy in 1873, assistant professor of psychology in 1876, assistant professor of philosophy in 1881, full professor in 1885, endowed chair in psychology in 188 9, return to philosophy in 1897, and emeritus professor of philosophy in 1907.James studied medicine, physiology, and biology, and began to teach in those su bjects, but was drawn to the scientific study of the human mind at a time when psychology was constituting itself as a science. James's acquaintance with the work of figures like Hermann Helmholtz in Germany and Pierre Janet in France fa cilitated his introduction of courses in scientific psychology at Harvard Unive rsity. He taught his first experimental psychology course at Harvard in the 187 5-1876 academic year.During his Harvard years, James joined in philosophical discussions with Charle s Peirce, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Chauncey Wright that evolved into a lively group known as The Metaphysical Club in 1872. Louis Menand speculates that the Club provided a foundation for American intellectual thought for decades to co me.Among James's students at Harvard were such luminaries as Boris Sidis, Theodore Roosevelt, George Santayana, W. E. B. Du Bois, G. Stanley Hall, Ralph Barton P erry, Gertrude Stein, Horace Kallen, Morris Raphael Cohen, Walter Lippmann, Ala in Locke, C. I. Lewis, and Mary Calkins.Following his January, 1907 retirement from Harvard, James continued to write a nd lecture, publishing Pragmatism, A Pluralistic Universe, and The Meaning of T ruth. James was increasingly afflicted with cardiac pain during his last years. It worsened in 1909 while he worked on a philosophy text (unfinished but posth umously published as Some Problems in Philosophy). He sailed to Europe in the s pring of 1910 to take experimental treatments which proved unsuccessful, and re turned home on August 18. His heart failed him on August 26, 1910 at his home in Chocorua, New Hampshire. He was buried in the family plot in Cambridge Cemete ry, Cambridge, Massachusetts.He was one of the strongest proponents of the school of functionalism in psycho logy and of pragmatism in philosophy. He was a founder of the American Society for Psychical Research, as well as a champion of alternative approaches to heal ing. He challenged his professional colleagues not to let a narrow mindset prev ent an honest appraisal of those phenomena.In an empirical study by Haggbloom et al. using six criteria such as citations and recognition, James was found to be the 14th most eminent psychologist of th e 20th Century.EpistemologyJames defined true beliefs as those that prove useful to the believer. His prag matic theory of truth was a synthesis of correspondence theory of truth and coh erence theory of truth, with an added dimension. Truth is verifiable to the ext ent that thoughts and statements correspond with actual things, as well as the extent to which they "hang together," or cohere, as pieces of a puzzle might fi t together; these are in turn verified by the observed results of the applicati on of an idea to actual practice."The most ancient parts of truth . . . also once were plastic. They also were c alled true for human reasons. They also mediated between still earlier truths a nd what in those days were novel observations. Purely objective truth, truth in whose establishment the function of giving human satisfaction in marrying prev ious parts of experience with newer parts played no role whatsoever, is nowhere to be found. The reasons why we call things true is the reason why they are tr ue, for 'to be true' means only to perform this marriage-function," he wrote.James held a world view in line with pragmatism, declaring that the value of an y truth was utterly dependent upon its use to the person who held it. Additiona l tenets of James's pragmatism include the view that the world is a mosaic of d iverse experiences that can only be properly interpreted and understood through an application of "radical empiricism." Radical empiricism, not related to the everyday scientific empiricism, asserts that the world and experience can neve r be halted for an entirely objective analysis, if nothing else the mind of the observer and simple act of observation will affect the outcome of any empirica l approach to truth as the mind and its experiences, and nature are inseparable. James's emphasis on diversity as the default human condition — over and again st duality, especially Hegelian dialectical duality — has maintained a strong influence in American culture, especially among liberals (see Richard Rorty). J ames's description of the mind-world connection, which he described in terms of a "stream of consciousness (psychology)," had a direct and significant impact on avant-garde and modernist literature and art.In What Pragmatism Means, James writes that the central point of his own doctri ne of truth is, in brief, that "Truths emerge from facts, but they dip forward into facts again and add to them; which facts again create or reveal new truth (the word is indifferent) and so on indefinitely. The 'facts' themselves meanwh ile are not true. They simply are. Truth is the function of the beliefs that st art and terminate among them." Richard Rorty claims that James did not mean to give a theory of truth with this statement and that we should not regard it as such. However, other pragmatism scholars such as Susan Haack and Howard Mounce do not share Rorty's instrumentalist interpretation of James.In The Meaning of Truth, James seems to speak of truth in relativistic terms: " The critic's [sc., the critic of pragmatism] trouble...seems to come from his t aking the word 'true' irrelatively, whereas the pragmatist always means 'true f or him who experiences the workings.' " However, James responded to critics acc using him of relativism, scepticism or agnosticism, and of believing only in re lative truths. To the contrary, he supported an epistemological realism positio nWill to Believe DoctrineMain article: The Will to BelieveIn William James's lecture of 1897 titled "The Will to Believe," James defends the right to violate the principle of evidentialism in order to justify hypothe sis venturing. Although this doctrine is often seen as a way for William James to justify religious beliefs, his philosophy of pragmatism allows him to use th e results of his hypothetical venturing as evidence to support the hypothesis' truth. Therefore, this doctrine allows one to assume belief in God and prove it s existence by what the belief brings to one's life.Philosophy of religionJames did important work in philosophy of religion. In his Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh he provided a wide-ranging account of The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) and interpreted them according to his pragmatic leanings. Some of the important claims he makes in this regard:Religious genius (experience) should be the primary topic in the study of relig ion, rather than religious institutions—since institutions are merely the soci al descendant of genius.The intense, even pathological varieties of experience (religious or otherwise) should be sought by psychologists, because they represent the closest thing to a microscope of the mind—that is, they show us in drastically enlarged form t he normal processes of things.In order to usefully interpret the realm of common, shared experience and histo ry, we must each make certain "over-beliefs" in things which, while they cannot be proven on the basis of experience, help us to live fuller and better lives.The investigation of mystical experience was constant throughout the life of Ja mes, leading him to experiment with chloral hydrate (1870), amyl nitrite (1875), nitrous oxide (1882), and even peyote (1896). James claimed that it was only w hen he was under the influence of nitrous oxide that he was able to understand Hegel.[19] He concluded that while the revelations of the mystic hold true, the y hold true only for the mystic; for others, they are certainly ideas to be con sidered, but can hold no claim to truth without personal experience of such.Theory of emotionJames is one of the two namesakes of the James-Lange theory of emotion, which h e formulated independently of Carl Lange in the 1880s. The theory holds that em otion is the mind's perception of physiological conditions that result from som e stimulus. In James's oft-cited example; it is not that we see a bear, fear it, and run. We see a bear and run, consequently we fear the bear. Our mind's perc eption of the higher adrenaline level, heartbeat, etc., is the emotion.This way of thinking about emotion has great consequences for the philosophy of aesthetics. Here is a passage from his great work, Principles of Psychology, t hat spells out those consequences.。
帕特里克 亨利简介
Morning everyone.Patrick Henry was an orator and politician who led the movement for independence in Virginia in the 1770s.Have you ever heard someone speak so passionately that the speech moved you to do something? Even as a young man, Patrick Henry had that kind of influence in the American Colonies.A Founding Father, he served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia. Henry led the opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765 and is well remembered for his "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" speech. Along with Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine, he is remembered as one of the most influential exponents of Republicanism, promoters of the American Revolution and Independence, especially in his denunciations of corruption in government officials and his defense of historic rights. After the Revolution, Henry was a leader of the anti-federalists in Virginia who opposed the United States Constitution, fearing that it endangered the rights of the States, as well as the freedoms of individuals.Patrick Henry was one of the leading lights of the American Revolution, a voice that would not be silenced until Americans were free and could govern themselves.He was born in 1736, in Hanover County, Virginia. He waseducated at home, where he learned Latin, among other things. He tried to be a business owner, but the business went bankrupt. He studied law and earned his law license in 1760.He made a name for himself in winning the famed Parson's Cause, during which he argued that a king who would veto a law passed by a locally elected legislature was "a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects." This was the beginning of his struggle to ensure independence for the 13 Colonies.Henry was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses, one of the colonies' first representative governments, in 1764.The following year, he introduced seven resolutions against Great Britain's new tax on paper the Stamp Act.The Stamp Act of 1765 (short title Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12) was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament specifically on the colonies of British America. The act required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London and carrying an embossed revenue stamp.[1][2] These printed materials were legal documents, magazines, newspapers and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. Like previous taxes, the stamp tax had tobe paid in valid British currency, not in colonial paper money.[3] The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years' War. The British government felt that the colonies were the primary beneficiaries of this military presence, and should pay at least a portion of the expense.With fiery words and a loud, convincing voice, Henry convinced his fellow burgesses to approve the resolutions, which sent a loud and clear message to the government in Great Britain that the American colonists were tired of "taxation without representation."His Stamp Act Resolutions were, arguably, the first shot fired in the Revolutionary War.Henry continued making speeches and practicing law throughout the turbulent years between his first famous speech and his next one, which he delivered in March 1775. He spoke to his fellow Virginians at St. John's Church in Richmond, urging them to take up arms in self-defense. Great Britain had gone too far in imposing taxes and other restrictions on Americans, and it was time for the colonists to defend themselves. He ended this famous speech with the words "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."Among the delegates to the convention were future US Presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Reportedly, those in attendance, upon hearing the speech, shouted, "give me liberty or give me death!"This speech took place on the same day that the British marched on Concord. The resulting battle, also at Lexington, is considered the beginning of the Revolutionary War. When Henry learned that Virginia Governor Dunmore had seized gunpowder from the storehouse in Williamsburg, he mobilized the militia of Hanover County and marched with them to demand the gunpowder back or money in exchange for it. The governor paid the money, then declared Henry an outlaw.Though he never himself served in the army, Patrick Henry continued the fight for independence in the House of Burgesses. He attended the Virginia constitutional convention and became the first governor of the new commonwealth of Virginia. He served three terms as governor before retiring to his home on Red Hill Plantation.He did not attend the Constitutional Convention because he believed that the federal government should be weak, with thestates having more power. He was one of the leaders, however, of the movement to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution.His health declined in the last year of his life, and he had to refuse President George Washington's appointment as Secretary of State and President John Adams's appointment as Minister to France. He died on June 6, 1799, at his home. He was 62.Ok ,let’s have a conclusion. Patrick Henry was one of the leading lights of the American Revolution, a voice that would not be silenced until Americans were free and could govern themselves. He was a great man and was inspectable for what he had done for America.As the first governor of Virginia and as a state legislator, Henry continued to have profound influence on the development of the new nation. He worked for the addition of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Known as the Bill of Rights, they guarantee certain freedoms, such as the freedom of speech and religion. Can you imagine the U.S. without such rights?Ok that’s all. Thank you .。

百万英镑电影观后感英语作文400字全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Million Pound Note Movie ReviewWow, The Million Pound Note movie was really exciting and funny! It's about this American guy named Henry Adams who goes on a trip to England in the 1900s. He doesn't have much money, but then his friend gives him a crazy gift - a million pound note as a joke! Can you imagine having a million pounds?? That's like a gazillion dollars!At first, Henry is bummed because he can't spend the phony money. But then he has a brilliant idea - he can use the giant note to get free stuff by pretending he's rich! So Henry goes to this fancy hotel and starts flashing around the million pound note. The hotel staff gets all impressed and lets him stay for free in the nicest room. They give him whatever he wants - fancy meals, clothes, you name it!Henry is living it up and having a blast.

One day his friends play a trick on him and give him a million pound note as a joke. A million pounds is like a kazillion dollars! At first Henry doesn't know what to do with the giant note because you can't really spend it since it's so much money.But then Henry gets a clever idea. He goes around London just pretending to be a millionaire and trying to pay for stuff with the big note. Of course, nobody can actually give him change for a million pounds. But Henry acts like a super rich guy and people just assume he's good for the money and let him have whatever he wants for free! It's kind of like a magic trick.Henry starts going to fancy restaurants and hotels and they let him eat awesome food and stay in the fanciest rooms just because they think he has a million pounds even though he doesn't really have any regular money at all. It's totally bonkers! I don't think I could ever get away with something like that.Henry meets this really pretty lady named Alma and she thinks he's a rich American millionaire too. She starts falling in love with him because of his "money." But the funny thing is, Henry is just a regular guy who doesn't actually have much money at all. He's just using the million pound note to trick everybody! I felt kind of bad for Alma because she doesn't know the truth.Things start to get complicated when Henry gets into some trouble with the police and has to run from the law because of his crazy scheme with the note. There's this intense scene where Henry has to hide out in a hay pile and the police are lookingeverywhere for him. I was on the edge of my seat during that part!Towards the end, Henry finally comes clean and tells Alma and everyone the truth about his million pound note trick. I was relieved when she didn't get too mad at him for lying. I think she could see that he's a good guy at heart who was just having some fun and not trying to hurt anybody.The end of the movie is really sweet and heartwarming. Even though Henry isn't actually a millionaire, Alma still loves him for who he is. And Henry's friends let him keep the million pound note as a souvenir for all the laughs they had over his wild plan. It just goes to show that you don't need to be super rich to be happy and have great friends.Overall, I gave The Million Pound Note 5 out of 5 stars!

No one wants to break such a huge bill, and they all get super suspicious of him. It's hilarious watching Henry try to explain the situation, but no one believes him!Things get even crazier when Henry meets a pretty lady named Alma. She's an ex-con who used to be a counterfeiter,and she thinks Henry is just a big-time criminal with a stolen million-pound note. At first, she wants to turn him in, but then she decides to help him out instead. The two of them get into all sorts of wacky situations as they try to survive on just that one giant note.My favorite part of the movie is when Henry and Alma go to a fancy restaurant. They can't pay with the note, so they have to sneak out without paying the bill. But then they accidentally take the restaurant owner's umbrella, and he chases them through the streets of London. It's so funny watching them run away with this angry guy shouting after them.Another hilarious scene is when Henry tries to pay for a hotel room with the note. The hotel manager thinks he's a criminal and calls the police. Henry and Alma have to escape out the window and climb down a drainpipe, all while the police are chasing them. It's like something out of a slapstick comedy!But underneath all the laughs, the movie has a really heartwarming message about not judging people too quickly.

The owner is this grumpy old man who gets all bent out of shape and kicks Henry out, thinking the note is fake. It's hilarious!The guy who plays Henry is really good. His name is Gregory Peck and he has such a kind, friendly face. You can't help but like him and root for him to win his bet.

You'll crack up!The movie has some nice lessons too about being honest, helping others, and not judging people before you know the full story. Henry is a good guy who uses the million pound note to do nice things for people in need, like paying for an operation tofix a little girl's eyes.

It was funny, exciting, and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I loved every minute of it!The story is about this really poor guy named Henry Adams who gets a crazy idea from his friends. They give him a one million pound note as a joke, and tell him to try to borrow money using it as collateral. At first, Henry thinks it's a silly prank, but then he realizes he can actually use the huge note to his advantage!Henry goes around town trying to borrow money from banks and fancy hotels by showing them the million pound note. Of course, nobody believes he really has that much money. But they treat him like a rich man just in case the note is real! It's so funny watching the look on people's faces when Henry whips out the gigantic bill.My favorite part is when Henry goes to this super fancy hotel called the Grand Hotel Iddirwick. He doesn't have any money for a room, but he acts like a millionaire thanks to the big note. The hoity-toity hotel manager gets all flustered and gives Henry the best suite just to impress him. It's hilarious!There's also a romantic storyline where Henry falls for love with this beautiful lady named Dorothy. She thinks he's just a poor nobody at first. But when she sees the million pound note, she gets totally infatuated with him because she thinks he's richand important. I felt bad for Henry being used like that, but it sets up some really funny situations.The funniest scenes are when Henry's broker friends keep showing up unexpectedly. They're the ones who gave him the joke million pound note to begin with. They can't believe Henry has managed to trick so many people with it! They have to keep pretending not to know him so his big charade doesn't get blown.I don't want to give away too much, but things just get crazier and crazier as the story goes on. Henry gets into all kinds of hijinks trying to keep up the million pound lie. There's a jewelry heist, a chase scene, and even a court trial at the end! It's pure slapstick comedy gold from start to finish.What I loved most about the movie though is the message behind the humor. It shows that people will treat you very differently based just on whether they think you have money or not. The rich get catered to while the poor get ignored, even if they're good people at heart. It makes you think about how unfair that is.But the movie does it in such a lighthearted, silly way that gets its point across without being too preachy. By the end, I waslaughing hysterically but also feeling fuzzy inside about being a good person to everyone no matter what.I give "The Million Pound Note" a million thumbs up! It's the funniest movie I've seen in forever. If you like wacky comedies and underdogs sticking it to the rich snobs, you've gotta check this one out. I can't wait to watch it again!篇6The Million Pound Note: A Movie That Made Me Laugh and ThinkWow, what an amazing movie! "The Million Pound Note" is one of the funniest and most interesting films I've ever seen. It's a story about a rich guy named Henry Adams who makes a bet with his friends that he can survive for a month in London without using any of his money, just by borrowing things with a million pound note as security. At first, I thought it would be a silly movie, but it turned out to be really clever andthought-provoking.The best part of the movie was definitely the hilarious situations that Henry found himself in. It was so funny to see how people reacted when he showed them the million pound note. Some people thought he was a criminal or a lunatic, while otherstreated him like a king because they thought he was super rich. My favorite scene was when Henry went to a fancy restaurant and the owner practically bowed down to him and gave him the best table, just because of that big note.But the movie wasn't just about laughs. It also made me think about how people treat each other based on how much money they have. It's kind of sad that so many people judged Henry by his wealth, instead of seeing him as a regular person. I guess that's just how the world works sometimes, but it doesn't seem fair.Another thing I really liked about the movie was the way it showed how one person's actions can affect so many others. When Henry started using the million pound note, it caused a chain reaction of events that impacted lots of different people –from the restaurant owner to the bank manager to the police. It was like a ripple effect, and it made me realize how interconnected we all are, even with strangers.The acting in the movie was also really good, especially by Gregory Peck who played Henry Adams. He was so convincing and made Henry seem like a real person, not just a character in a movie. I also loved the costumes and sets, which made me feel like I was really in London in the 1950s.Overall, "The Million Pound Note" was a really enjoyable and thought-provoking movie. It had plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, but it also made me think about important issues like wealth, status, and how we treat each other. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be entertained and challenged at the same time.And who knows, maybe one day I'll come across a million pound note and get to experience some crazy adventures of my own! (Just kidding, Mom and Dad – I'll always be responsible with money, I promise!)。

What does Hawthorne set out to prove in this tale? How does Melville comment on Hawthorne‘s manner of concerning with guilt and evil?（107）4848. A.

He sets out to prove that everyone possesses some evil secret.C. Melville calls it the ―power of blackness‖.Whitman47.

It doesn‘t have fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme.B. The poetic lines are simple and prose-like, varying in length, which allows himto express his ideas freely.C. Whitman also applies oral English in his free verse to make it an effective wayto express freely the feelings of common people.Melville47. The white whale, Moby Dick, is the most important symbol in Melville's novel.What symbolic meaning can you draw from it? (024)47. A. To Ahab, the whale is either an evil creature itself or the agent of an evil forcethat controls the universe, or perhaps both.B. To Ishmale, the whale is an astonishing force, an immense power, which defiesrational explanation due to a sense of mystery it carries. It is beautiful, but malignant at the same time. It also represents the tremendous organic vitality of the universe, for it has a life force that surges onward irresistibly, impervious to the desires or wills of men.C. As to the reader, the whale can be viewed as a symbol of the physical limitsthat life imposes upon man. It may also be regarded as a symbol of nature, or an instrument of God's vengeance upon evil man. In general, the multiplicity and ambivalence of the symbolic meaning of the whale is such that it becomesa source of intense speculation, an object or profound curiosity for the reader.Ⅳ.Topic Discussion(20 points in all, 10 for each)Write no less than 150 words on each of the following topics in English in the corresponding space on the answer sheet.Melville50.Retell in a few sentences the story of the last chapter (Ch, 135) ―The Chase－ThirdDay‖ of Melville‘s novel Moby-Dick. Discuss the meaning of the ending of the story. (034) 5050. The story of Moby-Dick is simple, telling the battle between Ahab, captain of thewhaling ship Pequod and the monstrous white whale Moby Dick. Ahab is obsessed by his determination to revenge himself upon the fierce, cunning whale, because it has crippled him. After many days of search and pursuit, the white whale is finally sighted. Chapter 135 is a description of the third day‘s chase.Three boats have been lowered in chase of the whale, but two of them are later destroyed by the whale. Although the whale is harpooned at last, the ship is sunk and all the people aboard are drowned except Ishmale, the narrator of the story who happens to be rescued by another whale ship. Moby-Dick is not merely a whaling tale or sea adventure. It is a tragic epic. The voyage the Pequod has made is a symbolic voyage of the mind in quest of the truth and knowledge of the universe, a spiritual exploration into man‘s deep reality and psychology. The battle between Ahab and the white whale symbolizes the struggle between man and nature, man and fate, good and evil.Hawthorne50. ―My faith is gone!‖ cried he (Goodman Brown), after one stupefied moment. ―There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil! For to thee is this world given.‖Comment on this passage from Hawthorne‘s ―Young Goodman Brown‖. (044) 50. A. Goodman Brown utters this cry when he finds his wife Faith, together with lotsof prominent of the village and the church, attending a witches‘ Sabbath inthe woods.B. His cry shows great surprise and disillusionment. Thereafter, he becomesdistrustful and doubtful. He lives a dismal and gloomy life because he is never able to believe in goodness or piety again. Here the author makes a pun of the word ―faith‖. Goodman Brown los es not only his faith in religion and life, but also his faith in his wife, for his wife‘s name is Faith.C. From this story, we also can see that Howthorne is a great allegorist and a masterof symbolism. The story itself is an allegory and is full of symbols such as the forest, the night, the snake and the pink ribbon.50．― ‗My faith is gone!‘ cried he（Goodman Brown）,after one stupefied moment.‗There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil! For to thee is this world given.‘ ‖（from Nathani el Hawthorne‘s ―Young Goodman Brown‖）Make a comment on this passage.（084）50. A. Goodman Brown utters this cry when he finds his wife Faith, together with lotsof prominent people of the village and the church, attending a witches‘sSabbath in the woods.B. His cry shows his great surprise and disillusionment. Thereafter, he becomesdistrustful and doubtful. He lives a dismal and gloomy life because he is never able to believe in goodness or piety again. Here the author makes a pun of the word ―faith‖. Fo odman Brown loses not only his faith in religion and life, but also is faith in his wife, for his wife‘s name in Faith.C.

Even the weather seemed to be celebrating; as June approached, the days became cl oudl ess and sultry, and all anybody felt like doing was strolling into the grounds and fl opping d own on the grass with several pints of iced pumpkin juice, perhaps playing a casual game of Gobstones or watching the giant squid propel itself dreamily across the surface of the lake.终于夺得了魁地奇杯，哈利的兴奋劲至少维持了一个星期。
连天气都像是在庆祝。
临近六月，白天变得晴朗无云，热烘烘的，让人只想带上几品脱冰镇南瓜汁溜达到场地上去，一屁股坐下来，也许可以随意玩上几局高布石，或者看着巨乌贼在湖面上梦幻般地游动。
