Your answer may include an example or two from these works of other literary periods.8 Although the pre-Elizabeth period (roughly 1400 through the beginning of the Elizabethan period) did not produce many great writers, a lot happened to be conductiveto the growth of humanism and the flowering of the Renaissance in the Elizabethan period.

英语专业考研都考什么内容

英语专业考研都考什么内容我是英语专业的,现在大二,以后打算考研,毕竟工作不好找…… 想问下英语专业考研都考些什么内容……或者英语专业考什么专业比拟好考,考什么内容……首先要定学校,不同的学校考研的内容是不一样的,因为考研专业课是各个学校自主命题的。
所以,你要先确定几个理想学校,这样复习的时候才有针对性。
而且,有一些学校会列出参考书目,这些根本上就是考试的大体范围了,但也有一些试题会超出范围,因为毕竟是参考范围,而不是范围。
但是,因为教育部现在有要求院校不可以自己指定参考书目了,所以很多学校的这个就没了。
那也不要着急,看他以前三年的参考书目,根本上不会变化太大(除非领导班子或是主要学科带头人有变化,比方北京交大就把新院长的著作加进了参考书目)。
第二,就是选定专业,每个专业方向的参考书目有时候也是不一样的,甚至不是一张试卷。
英语专业考研主要分为以下方向,外国语言学与应用语言学,英语语言文学,英语国家研究等。
其中,商务英语、翻译理论与实践等热门方向是划入到三大方向里面的,属于分支,所以考试的时候,只有复试中才会有所侧重,初试时不用担忧。
第三,推荐几本参考书目,这些书是极为流行的教材或是著作,范围很全,观点主流,考试的时候不管是不是在参考书目里,都可以用的着。
胡壮麟《语言学教程》;戴炜栋《简明语言学教程》;常耀信《英国文学史》、《美国文学史》;还有一些考研的辅导书也可以看看。
第四,英语考其他专业的话,一般数学很有劣势了,那推荐几个热门的而且可以扬长避短的专业吧:1、法律类专业:法律硕士是当前的一个大热门,许多非法学专业的学生在考。
而且,如果真的可以进入法律行业开展的话,现在可以说是前途比拟不错。
但是,需要注意,必须要考进人大北大政法之类的名校,一般学校的法律硕士社会认可度超低。
还可以直接考法学硕士,但是难度会很大。
2、新闻传播类:这一类我有许多朋友考了,也不错,可以进报社、电视台或是广告营销公司之类的。

朱利安·巴恩斯在中国的译介与研究评析

朱利安·巴恩斯在中国的译介与研究评析作者:何朝辉甘细梅来源:《湖北经济学院学报·人文社科版》2022年第06期摘要:朱利安·巴恩斯是当代英国最优秀的作家之一。
与国外的巴恩斯研究相比,国内的巴恩斯研究成果相对较少,发展相对滞后。
从20世纪80年代的零星介绍,90年代的个别研究,到21世纪前十年的初步发展,以及2011年之后在作品的翻译出版和学术研究等方面的进一步发展,国内巴恩斯作品的译介与研究在数量和质量方面都取得了一定的成就。
但国内巴恩斯研究仍然存在数量不多、质量不高、作品研究的不平衡、选题重复以及整体性研究缺失等问题,亟应引起读者的关注和重视,以促进巴恩斯研究在中国的更大发展和繁荣。
關键词:朱利安·巴恩斯;作品研究;研究现状;研究展望朱利安·巴恩斯(Julian Barnes,1946- )是当代英国最杰出的作家之一,评论界常常把他和马丁·艾米斯(Martin Amis,1949- )、伊恩·麦克尤恩(Ian McEwan,1948- )并称为当代英国文坛的三剑客。
早在1980年代,巴恩斯就凭借《福楼拜的鹦鹉》(Flaubert’s Parrot,1984)和《10 1/2章世界史》(A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters,1989)等小说跻身英国一流作家之列。
2011年,凭借一本篇幅短小但内涵极其丰富的小说《终结的感觉》(The Sense of an Ending),巴恩斯第四次进入布克文学奖的决选名单,并最终摘得这一桂冠,使他的文学声誉再上一个台阶,由此掀起了对巴恩斯作品研究的热潮。
在受到国内外的不断关注与持续研究的同时,巴恩斯也斩获了各种各样的文学奖项。
除了四次获得布克文学奖提名并在最后一次得奖之外,他先后获得过英国、法国、美国、意大利和澳大利亚等国颁发的各种文学奖项与各种荣誉称号。

metaphor used in A Valediction Forbidding Mourning
Metaphor used in A Valediction: Forbidding MourningAs one of the seventeenth century poets, John Donne, the precursor of the metaphysical poetry, is well known for his unexpected metaphor, usually called conceit. Sometimes the employing of distinctive metaphor makes his poems obscure and bizarre. However, it is witty and ingenious metaphor that turns abstract concept into concrete one and attracts readers to go deep into the theme. In the poem A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning, John Donne reveals his insights on the condition of human love and its relationship to the soul by employing unexpected metaphors. He metaphorically eulogizes spiritual love and soul unit of lovers in spite of physical distance.At the beginning of the poem, Donne shows the parallel between a positive way to meet death and a positive way to separate from lovers. When the virtuous man died, he whispered his soul to go. The death of the man and the departure of the lovers are not the ending but the beginning of a new cycle. The common lover usually sorrowful when they depart from each other, but the poet and his lover will "make no noise, no tear-floods, nor sigh-tempes t move”. Here Donne compares the death of the virtuous man with the departure of the lovers. They share some similarities in two points: on the first level, it refers to the separation of the dying man from the world or his intimate people in the world and the separation of the lovers; on the second level, it refers to the separation of body from soul. The soul of the dying man is apart from his body to get the union with another world, heaven or God. As for the lovers, they can achieve the spiritual union after their souls are separated from bodies. Although they separate physically, their souls still get together. In the third and fourth lines of the first stanza, the sad friends are incapable of detecting the exact moment of death. This may be resulted fr om their anxiety and affection, but “it is obviously the first and literal meaning” (Allen, 1953:70). In fact, it implies that the sad friends do not understand the spiritual world of the virtuous man, or laity cannot understand the spiritual love between the poetry and his lover. “……man at the moment of death, lovers at the moment of spiritual union……beyond the understanding of the “laity”who have not had these ultimate experiences” (Allen, 1953:70). So the poet does not want the laity to know their spiritual love because this will profane the joy of love.In the three stanzas there is a complex comparative relationship. The element of the earth is introduced. It is acknowledged that earthquakes are omens of misfortune because of their potential to bring inevitable devastation to the land. The departure of secular lovers is likened to “moving of th’earth”---the earthquake. The secular lovers feel sorrowful when they are separated as if men are fearful about the damages of earthquakes. Here it refers to the physical love of secular lovers. However, when it comes to the poet and his lover, spiritual love between them is viewed in a different light by employing the “trepidation of the spheres”, which metaphorically refers to the departure of the poet and his lover. The “trepidation of the spheres” cannot bring harms to the land as the spheres are extremely far away from the earth. It implies that separation between the poet and his lover cannot bring sorrow to them in that there is a great gap between spiritu al love and physical love of secular lovers. “Trepidation, though a much more violent motion than an earthquake, is neither destructive norsinister” (M. Logan 1248). The “trepidation of the spheres” is more violent than “moving of th’earth” implies that spiritual love is greater than physical love.In the last three stanzas the poet turns his concentration from spiritual love to physical love. Donne’s most famous metaphysical conceit is introduced.The two separate lovers are likened to the legs of “geometer’s compass” (Yang 240). The image is said to be “the ingenious and playful though nonsensical conceit” (Chen 224). “The metaphor is apt if the readers take into account the fact that the compass is a emblem of firmness and perfection of love”(Chang 78). Without the firmness of the fixed point, he would be unable to complete the journey and make the circle just. We can see that the poet takes compass as the symbol of the perfection of his love. He proves the point by drawing the circle with the compass. The legs of the compass move together as the two souls in love do, and part and unite as one of these “roams” to draw but always “come home” on finishing its job. The last stanza also emphasizes the position of women. Men “obliquely run”. Donne compares his wife as standing and leaning firm in center and himself as the roaming leg eager to get back to the end of the circle. The poem ends with the image of a circle, implying the union of two souls in a love relationship. This perfection is attained by parting at the beginning of the circle and reuniting at the point where the curves reconnect. The circle in the “Valediction” represents the journey during which two lovers endure the trial of separation, as they support each other spiritually, and eventually merge in a physically and spiritually perfect union.To sum up, in A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning, John Donne expresses his deep understanding on love in his metaphysical wring style. Instead of physical love, he emphasizes spiritual love. Although two l overs’ bodies are separated due to long distance, they can also achieve spiritual union. Donne employs surprising metaphor effectively to convey his ideas, not only thought-evoking, but also striking.Works CitedGeorge, M. Logan.
