美国移民文化

A look at the history of the United States indicates that this country has often been called "a melting pot", where various immigrant and ethnic groups have learned to work together to build a unique nation. Even those "original" Americans, the Indians, probably walked a land bridge from Asia to North America some thousands of years ago. So, who are the real Americans? The answer is that any and all of them are! And you, no matter where you come from, could also become an American should you want to.. Then you would become another addition to America's wonderfully rich "nation of immigrants". 纵观美国历史,就可见这个国家经常被称为"一个熔炉",在此,各种移民和种族团体学会了共同建设一个独特的民族。甚至那些"本土的"美国人--印第安人,也可能是几千年以前,从亚洲走过大陆桥来到北美洲的。所以,谁是真正的美国人?答案是他们中的任何一个人都是!无论你来自何处,如果你想成为美国人,就会成为美国人;你就会变成这个极其富有的"移民之国"的一个新份子。 The United States is currently shifting from being a nation of immigrants of mainly European descent to one of immigrants from other parts of the world, such as Asia and Latin America. The number of recent immigrants has skyrocketed. They desire to escape economic hardship and political oppression in their native countries as well as the desire to seek a better education and a more prosperous life in America, "the land of opportunity". Although there are frequent conflicts between the cultures they have brought with them from the "old country" and those found in America, most immigrants learn to adjust to and love their adopted land. 美国现在正由主要是欧洲血统移民的国家变为世界上其他各洲,如亚洲、拉丁美洲移民的国家。最近移民的数字急剧增长。他们希望摆脱在本国的经济困难、政治压迫,并在美国这片"充满机遇的土地上"寻找更好的教育和更富裕的生活。尽管他们从"故国"带来的文化与美国文化之间往往会产生冲突,但是多数移民还是学会了适应并热爱他们所归化的土地。 Americans have also learned much from the customs and ideas of the immigrants and are often influenced by them in subtle and interesting ways. Immigrants bring their native cultural, political, and social patterns and attitudes, varied academic and religious backgrounds, as well as their ethnic arts, sports, holidays, festivals, and foods. They have greatly enriched American life. 美国人从移民的风俗和观念中也学到了很多东西,并且在极其细微和有趣的方面受到了它们的影响。移民们带来了他们本族的文化、政治以及社会模式和态度,不同的学术和宗教背景,以及他们种族的艺术、体育、节日和饮食。这些极大地丰富了美国人的生活。 For immigrants from all parts of the would, the United States has been a "melting pot" in which the foreigners have sometimes remained culturally and linguistically what they were in their native lands even as they move toward becoming citizens of the United States, a country whose people share a common cultural outlook and set of values. The melting pot does not melt away all recollections of another way of life in another place----nor should it. On the contrary, immigrants should maintain the languages, skills, religions, customs and arts of their own heritage, even while they are working towards entering the mainstream of American culture.

《经济计量学精要》笔记和课后习题详解

《经济计量学精要》笔记和课后习题详解 第一章经济计量学的特征及研究范围 1.1复习笔记 一、什么是经济计量学 经济计量学是利用经济理论、数学、统计推断等工具对经济现象进行分析一门社会科学。 经济计量学运用数理统计学分析经济数据,对构建于数理经济学基础之上的模型进行实证分析,得出数值结果。 二、为什么要学习经济计量学 经济计量学涉及经济理论、数理经济学、经济统计学(即经济数据)以及数理统计学。然而,它又是一门有独立研究方向的学科,原因如下: 1.经济理论所提出的命题和假说,多以定性描述为主。但是,经济理论本身却无法定量测度这两个变量之间的强度关系,经济计量学家的任务就是提供这样的数值估计。经济计量学依据观测或试验,对大多数经济理论给出经验解释。 2.数理经济学主要是用数学形式或方程(或模型)描述经济理论,而不考虑对经济理论的测度和经验验证。而经济计量学主要关注的却是对经济理论的经验验证。经济计量学家通常采用数理经济学家提出的数学模型,只不过是把这些模型转换成可以用于经验验证的形式。 3.经济统计学主要涉及经济数据的收集、处理、绘图、制表。经济统计学家的工作是收集GDP、失业、就业、价格等数据,而不是利用这些数据来验证经济理论。但这些数据恰恰是经济计量分析的原始数据。 虽然数理统计学提供了许多分析工具,但由于经济数据独特的性质(大多数经济数据的生成并非可控试验的结果),因此,经济计量学经常需要使用特殊方法。 三、经济计量学方法论 1.建立一个理论假说 首先要了解经济理论对这一问题是怎样阐述的,然后是对这个理论进行验证。 2.收集数据 一般来说,有三类数据可用于实证分析: (1)时间序列数据:时间序列数据是按时间跨度收集得到的。比如GDP、失业、就业、货币供给、政府赤字等,这些数据是按照规则的时间间隔收集得到的。这些数据可能是定量的,也可能是定性的。 (2)截面数据:截面数据是指一个或多个变量在某一时点上的数据集合。例如美国人口调查局每十年进行的人口普查。 (3)合并数据(时间序列数据与截面数据的组合):合并数据既包括时间序列数据又包括截面数据。例如,20年间10个国家的失业率数据,那么这个数据集就是一个合并数据——每个国家20年间的失业率构成时间序列数据,而10个不同国家每年的失业率又组成截面数据。 (4)面板数据:面板数据是一种特殊类型的合并数据,也称纵向数据或微观面板数据。即同一个横截面单位(比如某个家庭或某个公司)的跨期调查数据。 与自然科学不同,许多收集的经济数据(比如GDP、货币供给、道琼斯指数、汽车销售量等)是非试验性的,也就是说,数据收集机构(比如政府)并不直接监控这些数据。 3.设定劳动力参与率的数学模型 根据变量之间的散点图确定变量之间的数学模型。 4.设定统计或经济计量模型 经济变量之间的关系往往不是数学模型中那么精确的函数关系,还受到其他未知因素的影响,因此需要设定计量模型,将一些未知因素包含在模型中。 5.估计经济计量模型参数 利用所获得的经济数据,通过一定的统计方法估计出模型中未知参数。 6.核查模型的适用性:模型设定检验

美国文学史复习资料

美国文学史复习(colonialism) 第一部分殖民主义时期的文学 一、时期综述 1、清教徒采用的文学体裁:a、narratives 日记b、journals 游记 2、清教徒在美国的写作内容: 1)their voyage to the new land 2) Adapting themselves to unfamiliar climates and crops 3) About dealing with Indians 4) Guide to the new land, endless bounty, invitation to bold spirit 3、清教徒的思想: 1)puritan want to make up pure their religious beliefs and practices 净化信仰和行为方式 2) Wish to restore simplicity to church and the authority of the Bible to the theology. 重建教堂,提供简单服务,建立神圣地位 3)look upon themselves as chosen people, and it follow logically that anyone who challenged their way of life is opposing God's will and is not to be accepted. 认为自己是上帝选民,对他们的生活有异议就是反对上帝 4)puritan opposition to pleasure and the arts sometimes has been exaggerated. 反对对快乐和艺术的追求到了十分荒唐的地步5)religious teaching tended to emphasize the image of a wrathful God.强调上帝严厉的一面,忽视上帝仁慈的一面。 4、典型的清教徒:John Cotton & Roger William 他们的不同:John Cotton was much more concerned with authority than with democracy; William begins the history of religious toleration in America. 5、William的宗教观点:Toleration did not stem from a lack of religious convictions. Instead, it sprang from the idea that simply to be virtuous in conduct and devout in belief did not give anyone the right to force belief on others. He also felt that no political order or church system could identify itself directly with God. 行为上的德,信仰上的诚,并没有给任何人强迫别人该如何行事的权利。没有任何政治秩序和教会体制能够直接体现神本身的意旨。 6、英国最早移民到美国的诗人:Anne Bradstreet 7、在殖民时期最好的清教徒诗人:the best of Puritan poets is Edward Tayor. 学习指南: 1、Could you give a description of American Puritans? 关于美国清教徒的描绘 Like their brothers back in England, were idealists, believing that the church should be restored to the "purity" of the first-century church as established by Jesus Christ himself. To them religion was a matter of primary importance. They made it their chief business to see that man lived and thought and acted in a way which tended to the glory of God. They accepted the doctrine of predestination, original sin and total depravity, and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace from God, all that John Calvin, the great French theologian who lived in Geneva had preached. It was this kind of religious belief that they brought with them into the wildness. There they meaant to prove that were God's chosen people enjoying his blessings on this earth as in Heaven. 2、Hard work, thrift, piety and sobriety were the Puritan values that dominated much of the earliest American writing. 3、The work of two writers, Anne Bradstreet & Edward Taylor, rose to the level of real poetry.

美国文学笔记

美文学美国部分——浪漫主义时期 Part two: American Literature Chapter 1 The Romantic Period浪漫主义时期 1. From the end of the 18th century to the outbreak of he Civil War. It started with the publication of Washington Irving’s The Sketch Book and ended with Whitman’s L eaves of Grass. It is also called “the American Renaissance”.浪漫主义时期开始于十八世纪末,到内战爆发为止,华盛顿.欧文出版的《见闻札记》标志着美国文学的开端,惠特曼的《草叶集》是浪漫主义时期文学的压卷之作。(也可称为“美国德文艺复兴”) 2. The desire for an escape from society and a return to nature became a permanent convention of American literature.对逃离社会,回归自然的渴求成为美国文学的一个永恒的话题。 3. The American Puritanism as a cultural heritage exerted great influences over American moral values.美国清教作为一种文化遗产,对美国人的道德观念产生了很大的影响。 4. Besides, a preoccupation with the Calvinistic view of original sin and the mystery of evil marked the works of Hawthorne, Melville and a host of lesser writers. 在霍桑,麦尔维尔以及其他一些小作家的作品种加尔文主义的原罪思想和罪恶的神秘性都得到了充分的表现。 5. The most clearly defined Romantic literary movement in this period is New England Transcendentalism.美国浪漫主义文学运动足能标炳的是新英格兰的超验主义运动。 6. This Transcendentalist group includes two of the most significant writers America has produced so far, Emerson and his young friend, Henry David Thoreau, whose writing has a strong impact on American literature.超验主义文学的主要代表是爱默生和梭罗,他们的作品对美国文学产生了很大的影响。 7. Basically, Transcendentalism has been defined philosophically as “the recognition in man of the capacity of knowing truth intuitively, or of attaining knowledge transcending the reach of the senses.”超验主义承认“人类具有本能了解或认识真理的能力,能够超过感官获取知识”。 8. Emerson once proclaimed in a speech, “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of you own mind.” Other concepts that accompanied Transcendentalism include the idea that nature is ennobling and the idea that the individual is divine and, therefore, self-reliant.爱默生曾说过:“只有人心灵的尊严才是最神圣的”。超验主义还认为自然是高尚的,个人是神圣的,因此人必须自助。 9.

从综艺节目看美国移民文化的特征 美国移民文化的内涵包括很多方面,其中的包容性是造就今日的美国不可缺少的因素之一。文章以美国王牌选秀节目“美国偶像”这一综艺节目为切入点,回顾美国移民的历史以及美国移民文化的主要特点,试图在分析美国移民文化包容性具体体现的基础上,进一步探讨美国移民文化的内涵。 标签:美国移民;移民文化;多元化;包容性;综艺;美国偶像 1 如何成为“大熔炉”:美国移民的三次浪潮 从历史的角度看,美国文化的发展与汹涌的移民热潮密切相关。从“五月花号”带来的首批移民以及《五月花号公约》为美国政治文化奠定了基石到南北战争结束后,美国由于大规模的工业化和城市化的急速发展,需要引进大量劳力,从而使母语为非英语的大量欧洲移民涌入。1961-1984年间,美国通过了移民和归化法,移民政策的宽松带来了以亚洲、拉丁美洲移民占主导的热潮。回顾历史,可以发现美国移民可分为如上所述的三个阶段,时至今日,美国每年仍然不断的接受着新移民,这些来自世界不同区域的移民构成了美国人口的主体,并逐步改变着美国人口的种族、民族构成比率,为美国传统文化注入新鲜血液,随着时间推移,逐步形成了美国特有的移民文化。 2 美国移民文化的特点之多元化 移民的地域性决定了美国文化的多元化。地域的差异便衍生出了不同的民族多样的习俗。这些多样化的因素又在不同时代对美国文化的发展产生影响,甚至被应用和更新。因此,在美国文化的不同方面都可以找到这些来自不同地域多样因素的缩影。 首先,美国移民文化的多元化体现在语言上。语言是文化的载体与缩影。美国英语中丰富的外来词汇是美国移民文化中多元化的充分体现。这些外来词汇来自世界各地,包涵多种语系,有的甚至被沿用至今。例如,来源于法语résumé(简历),changier(即:change,改变);来源于拉丁语cuppa(cup,杯子),cetel (即:kettle,壶);来源于西班牙语puma(美洲豹),cigar(雪茄烟);来源于汉语kowtow (磕头),qipao(旗袍)等等。除了来自世界各国移民能从美国英语中找到本民族的词汇以外,美国本土黑人也可以在美国英语中找到各自文化的缩影。例如,美国黑人在文艺和体育上有着卓越的成就。美国英语就从黑人文化中吸收了jazz(爵士乐)break dancing(霹雳舞)等词汇。 另外,美国移民文化的多元化在美国饮食文化中也有所体现。试图找出美国菜的典型代表并非像中国人的饺子、日本人的寿司、意大利人的千层饼、墨西哥人的粟米脆饼那样轻松。究竟什么是美国菜呢?在美国饮食文化中,美国菜的主要样式大部分为舶来品,随处可见世界各种菜系,从美国人民饮食的选择和餐饮业涉及的菜系种类不难体会到美国饮食文化中的多元化。
