Analysis of Robinson Crusoe
2009級師范三班劉靜 Robinson Crusoe is written by Defoe(1660 ~ 1731), known as the father of English novel and the periodical literature.He is the father of the English novel and periodical literature, who was born in a family which was against the Anglican Protestant.His father is a businessman, doing business.His article influenced the later development of journal articles and newspaper.Because the speech, he was repeatedly arrested.At the age of 59 Defoe began writing fiction as a novelist, show remarkable ability.Robinson Crusoe Robinson is Defoe's first novel, is also one of the most famous novels.It is based on a British seaman on a deserted island alone for 4 years in exile records and creation.Robinson is the heroine of Defoe works in accordance with their ideals and created the character, he killed out of doing business, living on a desert island for 28 years, overcome all sorts of unimaginable difficulties.He start empty-handed, develop the island, not only to their own survival, and create a new world.He was a pioneer in the image, a real asset class hero.In this figure embodies the western ocean civilization tradition, with the outward development of curiosity, desire to conquer and spirit of adventure, praised the strength quality and working spirit.The novel opens English realistic novel road.In this novel, there are so many about the Wonderful part, but two points impress: one is the author of the narrative language easy to understand.In front of the book, the author use a lot of space to introduce Robinson in the sea to sea before, whether does not listen to parents' guide, but follow the guidance of the soul, the careful psychological description, the author description most incisive.Two is a fascinating story, the protagonist of nearly thirty years of life vividly in front of us, let our eyes as if emerging from a young life.Robinson Crusoe is to let a person look after all that the most primitive, most of my books, not only because it is the wonderful, and it gives us the modern enlightenment.The most qualities I learn from Robinson Crusoe is not his hard-working and brave, but his amazing mental capacity.One can imagine, a single large living alone on a desert island life ten years, no one to accompany him, even the most basic, and a person simply talk for a while to do.The deserted island there is no house, no rice, can only rely on his own hard to create a piece of heaven and earth.The first nonwhite character to be given a realistic, individualized, and humane portrayal in the English novel, Friday has a huge literary and cultural importance.Recent rewritings of the Crusoe story, like J.M.Coetzee’s Foe and Michel Tournier’s Friday, emphasize the sad consequences of Crusoe’s
failure to understand Friday and suggest how the tale might be told very differently from the native’s perspective.Besides his importance to our culture, Friday is a key figure within the context of the novel.Friday’s sincere questions to Crusoe about the devil, which Crusoe answers only
indirectly and hesitantly, leave us wondering whether Crusoe’s knowledge of Christianity is superficial and sketchy in contrast to Friday’s full
understanding of his own god Benamuckee.In short, Friday’s exuberance and emotional directness often point out the wooden conventionality of Crusoe’s personality.Despite Friday’s subjugation, however, Crusoe appreciates Friday much more than he would a mere servant.Crusoe does not seem to value intimacy with humans much, but he does say that he loves Friday, which is a
remarkable disclosure.Crusoe may bring Friday Christianity and clothing, but Friday brings Crusoe emotional warmth and a vitality of spirit that Crusoe’s own European heart lacks.This novel shows that we need to believe ourselves, where there is a will, there is way.Use our hands, then see a new world.What is more, we are not only live ourselves in the world, we need to care about others.Be brave, and
never lose hope.

To a Waterfowl《 致 水 鳥 》
-----by William Cullen Bryant威廉·卡倫·布賴恩特
Whither, 'midst falling dew,披著滴落的露珠,While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,天空燦爛,白日的行程就要結束;
Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue穿過玫瑰色的遙遠空際,Thy solitary way?你往何方把孤單的前程追逐?
總結:As the dew falls and the sun sets in the rosy depths of the heavens, I wonder where you(waterfowl)are
going?
Vainly the fowler's eye看你遠遠飛翔而無計可施,Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,捕鳥人的眼光徒勞眷顧;
As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,滿天紅霞把你映襯,Thy figure floats along.暗黑的身影飄飄飛舞。
總結:the hunter can bring no harm to you ,you are free and safe.Without success, a hunter(fowler)might try to
bring you down as you float in silhouette against the crimson evening sky.Seek'st thou the plashy brink你是在尋找開闊的大河之濱,Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide,還是波浪拍岸的水草之湖?
Or where the rocking billows rise and sink或者潮水沖刷的海灘,On the chafed ocean side?那里的巨浪奔騰起伏?
? 總結:are you seeking for a place that is suitable for rest? Are you looking for the marshy edge of a lake,the bank of a river, or the shore of the ocean?
There is a Power whose care有上蒼把你關照,Teaches thy way along that pathless coast,--在無路的海岸為你指路,The desert and illimitable air,--在荒漠和無邊的空際,Lone wandering, but not lost.你孤單的飄蕩不致迷途。
? 總結:There is a Power that leads you on your way across deserts and through unlimited expanses of air.You may be wandering and alone, but you are not lost.All day thy wings have fann'd你成天翕動翅膀,At that far height, the cold thin atmosphere:任空氣稀薄暴風寒冷,飛在高處,Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,疲乏中你不肯降落舒適的大地,Though the dark night is near.即使黑夜即將緊閉它的帷幕。
總結:you have been flying the whole day, but do not stop and have a rest though dark is coming.You have been flapping your wings all day high in the sky, yet you continue on even though night is near and land beckons beneath you.And soon that toil shall end,你很快就會結束這樣的勞苦,Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest,你即將找到你夏天的住處;
And scream among thy fellows;reeds shall bend休息中呼喚自己的伙伴,Soon o'er thy sheltered nest.蘆葦也會躬身把你的窩巢遮護。
? 總結:you have a strong desire to be with your family;or, to achieve your goal.Soon your journey will
end.Soon you will descend to your summer home.There, you will scream among others of your kind and find secure shelter among the tall grasses.Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven你的身軀全被吞沒,Hath swallowed up thy form;yet, on my heart天堂深淵里,你蹤影全無;
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,然而你的啟迪深深留在我的心底,And shall not soon depart.我將久久地久久地把它記住。
? 總結:I can no longer see you, but I will never forget the lesson you taught me.He, who, from zone to zone,誰,從一個地方到另一個地方,Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,指引你穿越無限的天空作必然的飛翔,In the long way that I must tread alone,也會在我必須獨自跋涉的長途上,Will lead my steps aright.正確地引導我的腳步。
賞析:There are eight 4-line stanzas, in each stanza, their rhyme is abab.
第五篇:英美文學
《英美文學》復習方法
一、找到《英美文學》的輔導書,例如《自考一本通》《自考直通車》等類型的漢語版輔導書。
二、先把漢語版輔導書的課文翻譯通讀,理解了全書每個章節的內容和知識點;用漢語記錄重點;
三、第一輪復習順序:
1、先看英國文學,后看美國文學
2、按照時間順序看,每個時代都有代表性文學流派和代表作家及代表性作品
3、按照課本的章節順序,看完漢語譯文后,對照英語譯文,劃出課本上對每個時代代表性流派,代表作家和代表作品的描述和評論。名詞性描述一般是填空題和選擇搭配題;評論部分是簡單題和問答題;*只看代表性的重要信息,非代表性作品和作家生平介紹不用看;記住某個時代某個流派有哪些代表作家,哪些代表性作品及該作品的簡要介紹和評論。
4、按照章節劃出重點信息,然后整理筆記;
5、全部整理完畢之后,基本上對文學史和代表文學作品有了基本了解。
四、第二輪復習順序
1、找到歷年真題,做題的時候對照答案,尋找該答案在課文原文中的原始線索,并作好整理記錄;
2、整理理解全部真題的答案以后,對課本的重點知識就有了比較清楚的理解;
五、考前突擊復習
1、依據真題筆記和第二輪復習的筆記,對不熟悉的部分進行重點復習。
2、根據以往考題的研究,舊題還會重新考,所以大家要關注所有做過的真題和各章節中沒有考過的但屬于代表性知識的部分,這些有可能是將要考的新題。自學考試已經有歷史了,所以過去的真題加起來也就是全書的重點知識網絡,所以認真復習真題并理解消化,整理幫助記憶,這對于考試制勝是最好的辦法。
*警告:千萬不要拋開課本直接做真題;
千萬不要死記硬背,而是要在理解的基礎上反復讀,抄寫,默記;反復整理筆記,新的筆記只記錄沒有掌握好的,直到最后的筆記成為提綱式的。
