What’s symbolism? 1)Symbolism is a movement in literature and the visual arts that originated in France in the late 19th century. In literature, symbolism was an aesthetic movement that encouraged writers to express their ideas, feelings, and values by means of symbols or suggestions rather than by direct statements. Hawthorne and Melville are masters of symbolism in America in the 19th century. 2)举例。

48. “Young Goodman Brown ”is one of Hawthorne ’s most profound tales. What is the allegorical meaning of Brown, the protagonist? What does Hawthorne set out to prove in this tale? How does Melville comment on Hawthorne ’s manner of concerning with guilt and evil?

**ELIZABETH **4. A comparison of the three giants: William Dean Howells; Mark Twain; and Henry James They are the three dominant figures of the realistic period. The forerunner of American Realism is Howells. Though the three writers wrote more or less at the same time, they differed in their understanding of the “truth.”While Mark Twain and Howells seemed to have paid more attention to the “life”of the Americans, Henry James had apparently laid a greater emphasis on the “inner world”of man. Though Twain and Howells both shared the same concern in presenting the truth of the American society, they had each of them different emphasis. Howells focused his discussion on the rising middle class and the way they lived, while Twain preferred to have his own region and people at the forefront of his stories. This particular concern about the local character of a region came about as “local colorism,”a unique variation (变体) of American literary realism.

广东话常用俗语详解

摘自广东话学习网https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d36854593.html, 在线学习QQ:1362095384 粤语俗语详解 开篇导言:广东俗语充满民间智慧,且生动有趣,平时能说一两句俗语,显得你更有亲和力。即使不会说,也起码应该学会听,体会别人说话中的含义。只要每周学一句,就能积少成多,将来运用自如。 (一)留返拜山先讲 情景:若有人不停嘴的说些你不感兴趣的内容,你想叫他闭嘴。 我而家唔得闲听你讲嘢,有嘢留返拜山先讲啦。——时间很赶,有什么以后再说吧。 解释:传说是拜山时说话百无禁忌,什么都可以讲,所以有“有嘢留返拜山先讲”的说法。字面解释是“有什么话留到清明祭祖时再说”,但实际上是“不想听你说,你要说就在拜山时自己说个够”的意思。 (二)掂过碌蔗 情景:描述一种非常顺利的情况。 新年一过,就又升职加薪又揾到女朋友,今年运程掂过碌蔗。——新年一过,就又升职加薪又找到女朋友,运程好得不得了。 解释:甘蔗很直(粤语的“掂”有直的意思),也很甜(粤语“甜”、“掂”近音),因此甘蔗很“掂”。若比甘蔗还“掂”,那就确实很顺利了。 (三)冇咁大个头唔好带咁大顶帽 情景:责怪别人不自量力。 月薪得三千文就学人供车供楼,冇咁大个头就唔好带咁大顶帽。——月薪只有三千元就学人家供车供楼,没有这样的能力就不应该勉强。 解释:若戴上一顶比自己的头大得多的帽子,就会不合衬,而且戴得很辛苦,这句俗语是一个生动的比喻。另外,“学人……”在粤语中很常用,也是指责别人做了本不合适做的事,如“学人拍拖”、“学人食烟”。 (四)行路唔带眼 情景:青年人撞倒老人身上,老人责怪他不小心。 后生仔,乜你行路唔带眼口架。 解释:普通话都有“走路不带眼”的说法。这里要说的是粤语中“行”跟“走”的区别,“行”就是正常速度的走路,而“走”就是接近跑步的快步前进。清楚这点就容易明白“未学行先学走”的意思了。 (五)扮嘢 情景:戳穿别人的假面目。 唔使扮嘢喇,我唔会再信你。/我最憎人扮嘢。——不要装模作样了,我不会再信你。/我最讨厌别人装蒜。 解释:“嘢”是东西,但所谓“扮嘢”,并不是扮东西,而是装作处于某一种状态,如扮穷、扮斯文、扮好学……当然,有时“扮嘢”也指扮人,某电视综艺节目就有一个“扮嘢环节”,专门模仿明星和其他名人。普通话中的“装蒜”与“扮嘢”几乎完全对应。 (六)嗱嗱声 情景:老板吩咐下属赶工。

地道的广东粤语俚语有哪些

地道的广东粤语俚语有哪些 俚语是语言中最鲜活最独具特色的组成部分,是语言这个大花园中陪衬主要栽培物的野花,但是正因为这些野花,这个大花园才更加生机盎然,更加朝气蓬勃。下面是整理的粤语俚语,欢迎大家阅读。 顶栊。 「顶栊」,是「最尽」或「极其量」的意思,究竟什么是真正的「顶栊」呢? 「顶栊」一词,来自广东戏行术语,最原先的「顶栊」,是戏院满座的意思。 戏院满座,不是叫「爆棚」吗? 戏班落乡演出,多在平地搭建临时竹制的戏棚,客满时,便是「爆棚」;而「顶 栊」则在固定建筑的戏院剧场内建成的。 早期南方的戏院,依照中国古老大屋的规格建成,只有地下一层堂座,并无二楼 ;堂座最前台上是银幕(可以卷起,改做大戏的),台下便是两排座位,中间有 行人道,最后面便是入口,而入口处,有两边木堂栊,即用圆木条做成的横栅, 好比现今我们新房子的铁闸,晚间作防盗之用的。

以前的戏院,除座位票之外,也有企位票(即可站着看戏),当人多入场,站到 紧贴入口的木栊处时,这便是「顶栊」了! 常用语是:「我顶栊只可惜两千元给你!」即我最多只能借二千元给你! 执生 香港有今日这样的成就,很大程度上,是因为香港人之拼搏精神。 香港人常标榜自己的机智,有一形容词,是为:「执生」。 何谓「执生」呢? 简单而言,就是「随机应变」,「伺机行事」。即在事前没有准备或临时有变时 ,要懂得灵活异变。 「执生」一词,原是戏行术语。因戏班必是现场演出的,临场突变之事,无可预 知。惟有靠演员临场应变。 「执」,就是「把持」;「生」,就是「生机」。 「执生」并合起来,就是不可放过一线生机的机会,复引伸为机智的表现,这也 是香港人引以为荣的强项。 地道的粤语俚语食脑 中国人的食谱内,什么都有,连石头也可作药料,难怪有说只要背向天的动物,

Comment on Walden In 1845, Thoreau decided to conduct an experiment of self-sufficiency by building his own house on the shores of Walden Pond and living off the food he grew on his farm. He sought to reduce his physical needs to a minimum, in order to free himself for study, thought, and observation of nature, himself. Walden can be many things and can be read on more than one level. But it is, first and foremost, a book about man, what he is, and what he should be and must be. Considered one of the all-time great books, Walden is a record of Thoreau's two year experiment of living at Walden Pond. The writer's chief emphasis is on the simplifications and enjoyment of life now. It is regarded as 1. a nature book.2. a do-it-yourself guide to simple life. 3. a satirical criticism of modern life and living. 4. a belletristic achievement 5. a spiritual book. The Scarlet Letter Symbolic meaning of the letter “A” :1.The scarlet letter “A” is the central symbol of the novel. At the beginning it symbolized the sin of Hester—“adultery”, 2.then gradually when Hester became accepted by the community, it stands for Hester’s intelligence and diligence—“able”. 3.At the end of the novel the symbol has evolved to represent the high virtues of Hester Prynne—“angel”. Comments on The Scarlet Letter:1.The theme of the story should be the moral, emotional and psychological effects of the sin on people. 2.Scarlet Letter is a cultural allegory, in which the author indirectly tells the future of Puritanism.3.Scarlet Letter is a sample in which American Romanticism adapted itself to American Puritanism.(Because of the strong influence of Puritanism in American society, Hawthorne only expressed his ideas on the sin indirectly by employing symbolism.) Symbolism in the novel Moby Dick A. the voyage itself is a metaphor for “search and discovery, the search for the ultimate truth of experience.” B. the Pequod is the ship of the American soul and consciousness. C. Moby Dick is a symbol of evil to some, of goodness to others, and of both to still others. D. The whiteness of Moby Dick is a paradoxical color, signifying death and corruption as well as purity, innocence and youth; it represents the final mystery of the universe. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Setting: unpopulated wildness an a dense forest along Mississippi River Characters:1.Ignorant uneducated black slave Jim2.Uneducated outcast white boy Huck Finn。Theme: Huck’s inner waving struggle between what he was taught and what he thought out of good-heart and humanity.Its Features:1.Profound portrait of Huckleberry Finn 2.Magic power with language, the use of vernacular. 3. Humor In a Station of the Metro1 by Ezra Pound The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals on a wet, black bough. Note: 1。a Paris subway station Analysis of this poem The poem’s form is similar to Japanese haiku, with considering its title as a verse-line. The word “apparition” has double meaning:1. “appearance”, something which can be clearly observed;2. something which seems real but perhaps is not real; something ghostly which cannot be clearly observed. Petals may refer to the faces in the crowd, while bough may refer to the railway in the Metro.
