英语中色彩与其内涵

颜色词的基本象征意义1.黑、白两色在西方文化中象征着黑暗与光明。
在圣经里,黑色象征魔鬼、邪恶、痛苦与不幸,因此,黑色也叫做“死色”。
白色则是上帝、天使、幸福、欢乐和美德的象征。
拉夫·沃尔多·埃默森(Ralph WaldoEmerson)有句名言:“The grey past,the white future ”(灰色的过去,充满希望的未来)。

与“Black”(黑)相对的“White”(白)在西方文化里则有美好、希望、幸福、快乐的涵义。
“A white X‟mas ”(意指“银装素裹的圣诞节”);“white hands”(公正廉洁的);“white knight ”(白衣骑士,指政治改革家或事业上的得胜者);“white li e”(小谎,圆场谎,为了不使人难堪而说的谎话);“a white day”(吉日);“days marked with a white stone”(幸福的日子)。

(完整word版)英国文学选读 课后习题

Thomas HardyTess of the D’Urbervilles1.How does Tess react to Clare’s suggestion that they should leave theirshelter?Why?She showed a strange unwillingness to move. Because she doesn’t want to put an end to all that’s sweet and lovely peacefulness and affection.2.What is the significance of Tess resting on an altar in the heathen temple?1)She is the sacrifice of the social conventions and prejudice which society has placed upon her2)In Hardy's eyes, she is the epitome of the purity of women, as pure as the sacrifices which are placed upon the altar.3)She knows the fate which is about to befall upon her, just as the sacrifices on the altar, inescapable death.4)Her death is caused by human hypocrisy and foolishness, similar to that of a sacrifice.5)At the end, the only place which can accept her for who she is is death and sacrifice.6)Biblical allusion. Parallel to phrase the first, when Abraham and her where on the carriage. Similar to the biblical story where Abraham was to sacrifice his son, the family sacrificed Tess.3. Comment on this sentence:“Justice’ was done,and the President of thelmmortals(in Aeschyleanphrase )had ended his sport with Tess”.In what sense is Tess’ s tory tragic?(1)Tess is a typical victim of the society. Poverty of the family, inhumanity, injustice andhypocrisy of the society decide her tragedy. The two men—the one who takes away her virginity and purity, the other who takes away her love but deserts her on the very weding night—though apparent rivals, join their forces in bringing about her final destruction.Hers is a personal tragedy; it can also be a social one.(2)The tragic fate of Tess and her family was not that of an individual family, but it was symbolic of the disintegration of the English peasantry--- a process which had reached its final and tragic stage at the end of 19th centuryJames Joyce Araby P1711.What is the significance of the title of the story?1. Araby is “a splendid bazaar” where Mangan’s sister recommends the boy to go. Thereafter the boy’s imagination seizes upon the name Araby and invests its syllables with “an Eastern enchantment” in which his “soul luxuriates”2. Araby becomes a place where his soul can find the mystical beauty lacking in his own mundane Church.3. The boy feels a summons that has symbolic over-tones of a holy crusade.But when he arrives, Araby , the dream new world for the boy ,turned out to be “darkness” and “silence”. His idealized vision of Araby is destroyed, along with his idealized vision of Mangan’s sister, and of love.2.Chief qualities of the boy’s character?The boy is a natural character with which to begin a book because he possesses so many qualities attractive to readers. First, he is sensitive — sensitive enough to experience a wide range of feelings in spite of his tender age, including apparently contradictory combinations like fear and longing (at the end of the story's first paragraph), anger and puzzlement (while falling asleep), and, especially, "a sensation of freedom" in response to his mentor's passing that surprises him and us. "I found it strange," the narrator says, "that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood."Second, he is intelligent — and not merely in the conventional sense of the word. Sure, he is brainy enough to absorb much of the arcane information shared with him by the priest. (It makes sense that he has grown into the articulate storyteller who shares the tale of Father Flynn's influence upon him.) But the protagonist of "The Sisters" also possesses an intuitive understanding of how other human beings feel, think, and act —emotional intelligence, you might call it.It is no surprise that a boy so sensitive, so intelligent, would find himself somewhat alienated from others — cut off, fundamentally, from his family and peers. He appears to lack altogether a connection with his uncle, much less Old Cotter, and it is said that he rarely plays "with young lads of his own age." Even when he is in the company of his aunt and the priest's sisters near story's end, the reader's main sense of the boy is that he is alone.The school boy, in the story 'Araby", is the narrator of the story. He has not yet attained majority and is by nature bashful. He lived alone with his auntie and uncle and knew a few play-mates with whom he played in the street. Mangan's sister was perhaps only girl who lived in his neighborhood. He started appreciating her figure and dress without actually realizing that he had grown to like her. Being preadolescent person he had not become conscious that such a passion is just natural and it does not call for apology or regrets.If he had expressed his noble feeling of love for the girl he might have been able to overcome his bashfulness. Once he hesitated in expressing his sentiments, he developed an inhibition with the result that he was never able to make his feelings known to her. He went worshipping her silently. By chance, she happened to talk to him, he felt confused and did not know how to express himself. His desire to visit Araby became an obsession for him and he made up his mind to go to the market at the earliest and bring a gift for her. The hour that he reached Araby, was not at all fit for purchasing something really worthwhile. He experienced a sort of bitterness even worse than defeat. Being a lonely person, he is in search of a kindred soul. But lacking self-confidence he is not able to win her, as any other person without inhibition could have done so easily.The boy in the story is so bashful and inept in his relation with Mangan's sister only. He was quite a sociable boy in his own way and was good at studies. His auntie and uncle never discovered any oddity about him. He certainly proved quite helpful when he accompanied his aunt on her shopping trips. After his missed venture with Araby he lost interest in his studies. His teacher stared feeling concerned about him. But he did not know the real reason for this lack of interest in his studies. He is a hardworking and responsible boy and is capable of changing his attitude in keeping with the changingconditions. His unrequited love has proved disappointing experience for him, but certainly it would have made him wiser and more practical in future.3.Is anything gained by the boy through his frustration and humiliation?The boy is initiated into knowledge through a loss of innocenceThe boy worships and desires Mangan’ssister , and Mangan’s sister is the light that contracts to the gloomy reality.But the quest ends when he arrives at the bazaar and realizes with slow, tortured clarity that Araby is not at all what he has imagined. He feels angry and betrayed and realizes his self-deception.The boy is initiated into knowledge through a loss of innocence and fully realizes the incompatibility between the beautiful and innocent world of the imagination and the very real world of fact. So the “quest” is not fruitless, becaus e it helps the narrator come to self-knowledge.D.H. LawrenceThe rocking-horse winnerDoes the house really whisper?No, it is not the house whispers.The expensive and splendid toys, the shining modern rocking horse and the smart doll’s house are the reflection of the parents’ vanity. This couple bought so many expensive things means that they want to have a life of nabobism and a nabobism life means that there must be more money.This phrase was used intentionally to emphasize the theme“greed”Does luck mean money? How do you define luck?No….Who kills Paul?It was the society killed Paul.The development of urban industrialism caused people only care money. At that time,people thought money is everything. So,in the novel, the house whispered and mom emphasized luck so many times. Paul wanted to get his mother’s attention by money which forced him to ride the rocking-horse again and again. Paul was ill and the whole society was ill too.Matthew Arnold Dover BeachForm•Preserves the structure of the Romantic Lyric (Descriptive-Meditative-Descriptive)•“Dover Beach” is a poem with the mournful tone of an elegy and the personal intensity ofa dramatic monologue. Because the meter and rhyme vary from line to line, the poem issaid to be in free verse—that is, it is unencumbered by the strictures of traditional versification. However, there is cadence in the poem, achieved through the following: •Parallel Structure•The tide is full, the moon lies fair (Stanza 1); So various, so beautiful, so new (Stanza 4);•Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light / Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain (Stanza 4)•Rhyming Words•to-night, light; fair, night-air; stand, land; bay, spray; fling, bring; begin, in (Stanza 1) •Words Suggesting Rhythm•draw back, return; Begin, and cease, then begin again (Stanza 1); turbid ebb and flow (Stanza 2)Figures of Speech•Alliteration:•to-night , tide; full, fair (Lines 1-2); gleams, gone; coast, cliff; long line; which the waves;folds, furled; to-night, tide; full, fair; gleams, gone; coast, cliff (Stanza 1) •Assonance: t ide, l ies;•Paradox and Hyperbole: grating roar of pebbles•Metaphor:•which the waves draw back, and fling (comparison of the waves to an intelligent entity that rejects that which it has captured)•turbid ebb and flow of human misery (comparison of human misery to the ebb and flow of the sea)•The Sea of Faith (comparison of faith to water making up an ocean)breath of the night-wind (comparison of the wind to a living thing)•Simile:•The Sea of Faith . . . lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled (use of like to compare the sea to a girdle)•the world, which seems / To lie before us like a land of dreams (use of like to compare the world to a land of dreams)•Anaphora:•So various, so beautiful, so new (repetition of so)nor love, nor light, / Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain (repetition of nor) ThemeArnold’s central message is this: Challenges to the validity of long-standing theological and moral precepts have shaken the faith of people in God and religion•Decay of orthodox religious beliefs•“Let us be true to one another”: Emphasizes personal connection•Subverts Romantic View of Nature•The underlying theme of the poem is the hollowness of human lives, how everything looks beautiful at face value but is far from it in reality•The superficial calm prevailing in the world is brought out.1.Humanity-----the sea2.Sea-----humanity’s religious faith(ebbing tide is to nature----- loss of faith is to humanity)3.Sea-----land of dreams。

浪漫主义时期名词解释(学习资料)
课外拓展(浪漫主义时期名词解释)1. Romanticism: It is a term applied to literary and artistic movements of the late18th and early19th century. It can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified classicism in general and late18th-century neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Inspired in part by the libertarian ideals of the French Revolution, the romantics believed in a return to nature and in the innate goodness of humans, as expressed by Jean Jacques Rousseau. They emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental. They also showed interest in the medieval, exotic, primitive, and nationalistic. Critics date English literary romanticism from the publication of William Wordsworth and S. T. Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads in1798 to the death of Sir Walter Scott and the passage of the first reform bill in the Parliament in1832.2. Ode:It is an elaborately formal lyric poem, often in the form of a lengthy ceremonious address to a person or abstract entity, always serious and elevated in tone. It aims at praising and glorifying an individual, commemorating an event, or describing nature intellectually rather than emotionally. Odes originally were songs performed to the accompaniment of a musical instrument. There are two different classical models: Pindar’s Greek choral odes devoted to public praise of athletes (5thcenturyBC), and Horace’s more privately reflective odes in Latin (c.23~13BC). John Keats wrote many celebrated odes such as “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and “Ode to a Nightingale”(both1820).3. Byronic hero: It is a stereotyped character created by Byron. This kind of hero is usually a proud, mysterious rebel figure of noble origin. With immense superiority in his passions and powers, he would carry on his shoulders the burden of righting all the wrongs in a corrupt society. He would rise single-handedly against any kind of tyrannical rules either in government, in religion, or in moral principles with unconquerable wills and inexhaustible energies. The conflict is usually one of rebellious individuals against outworn social systems and conventions.4. Ottava rima:It is a form of verse stanza consisting of eight lines rhyming abababcc, usually employed for narrative verse but sometimes used in lyric poems. In its original Italian form (“eighth rhyme”), pioneered by Boccaccio in the14th century and perfected by Ariostointhe16th.It used hendecasyllables, but the English version uses iambic pentameters. It was introduced into English by Thomas Wyatt in the 16th century, and later used by Byron in Don Juan as well as by Keats, Shelley, and Yeats.5. Terza rima:It is a verse form consisting of a sequence of interlinked tercetsrhyming aba bcb cdc ded etc. Thus the second line of each tercet provides the rhyme for the first and third lines of the next, the sequence closes with one line (or in a few cases, two lines) rhyming with the middle line of the last tercet: yzy z (z). The form was invented by Dante Alighieri for his DivinaCommedia (c.1320), using the Italian hendecasyllabic line. It has been adopted by several poets in English pentameters, notably by P. B. Shelley in his “Ode to the West Wind”.6. Irony:It is a contrast or an incongruity between what is stated and what is really meant, or between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. Three kinds of irony are: (1) verbal irony, in which a writer or speaker says one thing and means something entirely different; (2) dramatic irony, in which a reader or an audience perceives something that a character in the story or play does not know; (3) irony of situation, in which the writer shows a discrepancy between the expected results of some action or situation and its actual results.7. Lyric:It is a poem, usually a short one that expresses a speaker’s personal thoughts or feelings. The elegy, ode, and sonnet are all forms of the lyric. As its Greek name indicates, a lyric was originally a poem sung to the accompaniment of a lyre, and lyrics to this day have retained a melodic quality. Lyrics may express a range of emotions and reflections. Robert Herrick’s “T o the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” reflects on the brevity of life and the need to live for the moment, while T. S. Eliot’s “Preludes” observes the sordidness and depression of modern life.8. Motif: It is a recurring feature (such as a name, an image, or a phrase) in a work of literature. A motif generally contributes in someway to the theme of a short story, novel, poem, or play. For example, a motif used by D. H. Lawrence in his story “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is the word luck. The main character of the story, a boy named Paul, discovers that he has the power to predict the winner in a horse race. However, this becomes an ironic kind of luck, for Paul grows obsessed with his power and is finally destroyed by it. At times, motif is used to refer to some commonly used plot or character type in literature. The “ugly duckling motif”refers to a plot that involves the transformation of a plain-looking person into a beauty. Two other commonly used motifs are the “Romeo and Juliet motif” (about doomed lovers) and the “Horatio Alger motif”(about the office clerk who becomes the corporation president).9. Theme:It is the general idea or insight about life that a writer wishes to express in literary work. All the elements of a literary work—plot, setting, characterization, and figurative language contribute to the development of its theme. A simple theme can often be stated in a single sentence. But sometimes a literary work is rich and complex, and a paragraph or even an essay is needed to state the theme. Not all literary works have a controlling theme. For example, the purpose of some simple ghost stories is to frighten the reader, and some detective stories seek only to thrill.10. Symbol:It is any object, person, place, or action that has a meaning initself and that also stands for something larger than itself, such as a quality, an attitude, a belief, or a value. A rose is often a symbol of love and beauty; a skull is often a symbol of death; spring and winter often symbolize youth and old age.11. Imagery: It is a rather vague critical term covering those uses of language in a literary work that evoke sense-impressions by literal or figurative reference to perceptible or “concrete” objects, scenes, actions, or states as distinct from the language of abstract argument or exposition. The imagery of a literary work thus comprises the set of images that it uses; these need not be mental “pictures” but may appeal to senses other than sight.12. Foil:It is a character whose qualities or actions serve to emphasize those of the protagonist (or of some other character) by providing a strong contrast with them. Thus in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, the passive obedience of Jane’s school-friend Helen Burns makes her a foil to the rebellious heroine. 13. Synaesthesia:It is a blending or confusion of different kinds of sense-impression, in which one type of sensation is referred to in terms more appropriate to another. Common synaesthetic expressions include the descriptions of colours as “loud” or “warm”, and of sounds as “smooth”. This effect was cultivated consciously by the French Symbolists, but is often found in earlier poetry, notably in Keats.14. Character:Characters are the persons represented in a dramatic or narrative work, who are interpreted by the reader as being endowed with particular moral, intellectual, and emotional qualities by inferences from what the persons say and their distinctive ways of saying it—the dialogue—and from what they do—the action. The grounds in the characters’temperament, desires, and moral nature for their speech and actions are called their motivation. A character may remain essentially “stable”, or unchanged in outlook and disposition, from beginning to end of a work (Prospero in Shakespeare’s The T empest, Micawber in Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, or may undergo a radical change, either through a gradual process of development (the title character in Jane Austen’s Emma) or as the result of a crisis (Shakespeare’s King Lear, Pip in Dickens’ Great Expectations).Whether a character remains stable or changes, the reader of a traditional and realistic work expects “consistency”—the character should not suddenly break off and act in a way not plausibly grounded in his or her temperament as we have already come to know it.15. Flat character: A flat character (also called a type, or “two-dimensional”) is built around “a single idea or quality”and is presented without much individualizing detail, and therefore can be fairly adequately described in a single phrase or sentence.16. Round character: A round character is complex in temperament and motivation and is represented with subtle particularity; such a character therefore is as difficult to describe with any adequacy as a person in real life, and like real persons, is capable of surprising us.17. Negative capacity: It is the phrase used by the English poet John Keats to describe the quality of self lesser captivity necessary to a true poet. By negative capability, Keats seems to have meant a poetic capacity to efface one’s own mental identity by immersing it sympathetically and spontaneously within the subject described, as Shakespeare was thought to have done.。

Firstly,about the author
• 作者:(英)劳伦斯(Lawrence D.H.) • David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an important and controversial English writer of the 20th century, with his output spanning novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. These works, taken together, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and instinctive behaviour.
劳伦斯的情人弗丽达
• 作为20世纪英国最有影响力小说家、 剧作家、诗人和心理学家,劳伦斯最 高创作成就的三部曲《虹》《恋爱中 的女人》《查泰莱夫人1915)
• 书中布朗温家族的第一代汤姆和丽迪亚的感情关系里, 可以隐约看到劳伦斯父母的影子。丽迪亚是波兰难民,原 本家境很好却遇人不淑。带着孩子下嫁给了小农场主汤姆。 汤姆对她爱慕又好奇,善良羞涩满怀温情。而她却像活在 另一个世界里,淡漠疏离,静静地履行着做妻子的义务, 如同冰凉的磁偶一样美丽无情。汤姆的感情受挫之后把关 爱转给了丽迪亚的女儿安娜,安娜也像所有怀着恋父情结 的孩子一样,希望取代母亲的地位。 • 成年的安娜怀着迷恋和激情嫁给了继父的侄子。这段 感情因为安娜怀孕做母亲而波折迭起。母性的强势和排他, 令做丈夫的自觉渺小无用,仿佛交配后被母螳螂吃掉的公 螳螂一样。这里可以看到劳伦斯和弗丽达的影子。弗丽达 与前夫离婚后一直不能见到自己的孩子,心情起起落落经 常使劳伦斯感觉同失宠的孩子一样受伤。
•
《木马赢家》是劳伦斯较为著名的短篇小说之一,于 他的晚年创作而成,在他去世后的1933年才发表。故事探 讨了劳伦斯所关注的人与人之间的关系,从一个侧面反映 了西方工业社会中金钱对健康和谐的人际关系的扭曲。选 篇故事中的男孩保罗渴望母爱,但是母亲却不能感觉到爱, 因为对金钱的追求已经窒息了她的母爱的天性,使她丧失 了爱的能力。保罗从母亲眼中看不到爱,却能在家中听见 一个声音不断轻声低语:“一定要有更多的钱!一定要有 更多的钱!”为了讨母亲欢心,也为了让家里那个令人无 法忍受的声音停止下来,保罗骑上木马,让木马带他到一 个“幸运的”地方去,因为母亲告诉他好运可以带来金钱。 他发现自己在骑木马骑到疯狂的状态时,就能够预知将会 赢得下一场比赛的赛马的名字。他赢了很多钱,但是家里 的那个声音不仅没有消失,反而越来越大。保罗对赛马结 果的预见不再那么灵验,在做了最后一次预测之后,他从 木马上摔了下来,不久死去。在《木马赢家》中,对金钱 的追求扭曲了人世间最珍贵的母子亲情,母亲无法去爱儿 子,而儿子为了得到母爱,竟只能用钱去买。母亲因而不 再是爱的源泉,而成了造成儿子悲剧的根源。
(Lady Chatterley’s Lover 1928)
小另 说一 哦本 。很 有 影 响 力 的
•
《儿子和情人》
• 《儿子与情人》视角独特,对人性中隐秘的“恋 母情结”有深刻、形象的挖掘。一般认为,小说 中的儿子保罗就是劳伦斯的化身,而莫雷尔太太 就是劳伦斯的母亲莉蒂娅,保罗的女友米丽安就 是劳伦斯的初恋情人杰茜。

劳伦斯的未婚妻露伊.巴罗斯
After learning the novel , we are deeply aware of family more important than money.
• 提到D.H.劳伦斯,很多人的第一反应 是:禁书作家。无论是《查泰莱夫人的情 人》中直白露骨的性爱描写,还是《儿子 和情人》中对恋母情结反传统的坦率表述, 抑或是《虹》和《恋爱中的女人》中关于 男女两性的肉体和精神冲突生动的刻画, 这些作品在社会中激起的强烈反响争议和 对当时文学艺术领域的冲击,都使得作者 走入大众关注的焦点,成为过去八十年英 国乃至世界文坛上长盛不衰的主题。
• 劳伦斯的情人--弗丽达出身德国贵族家庭, 这一族枝繁叶茂名人众多。她的姐姐、姐 夫是德国当时著名的社会学家,堂兄是一 战著名的王牌飞行员“红男爵”,家族成 员中有德国一战时的骑兵元帅和后来二战 时期的德国空军元帅。这样一位前贵族小 姐后教授夫人,竟然抛家弃子和一个矿工 的儿子私奔,这件事本身就足够浪漫传奇, 无怪乎劳伦斯会以她为原型创作《查泰莱 夫人的情人》。
