Features of American Romanticism

a. Imitative: Some of the American Romantic writings were modeled on English and European works. The Romantic Movement proved to be a decisive influence. Without it, the rise of Romanticism would have been impossible. Romanticism writers such as Scott, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron all made a stimulating impact on American literature.

b. Independent: From the very beginning, American Romanticism exhibited(陈列,展览;显示,显出;展览品,陈列品,在法庭提出的证物)distinct(截然不同的,完全分开的;清晰的,明白的,明显的)features of its own. It originated from(来自,源于…)a mixture of factors which were altogether American rather than anything else. American Romanticism was in essence(本质上,大体上,事实)the expression of a real new experience and contained “an alien(外国的,外国人的,陌生的,性质不同的)quality”. E.g., the American national experience of pioneering(开发,创始)into the west is a rich fund of material for American writers. It is these Romanticism writers that created an indigenous(土生土长的,生来的,固有的)American literature.

c. Puritan influence over American Romanticism was clearly noticeable. E.g., the author tended more to moralize(vi论道德,说教)than writers in Englan

d.

American Transcendentalism(超验主义,先验论;顿悟)

Background:

In 1836 a little book Nature came out. It was written by Emerson. It was considered “the Manifesto (?m?n??fest??宣言)of Transcendentalism(?tr?nsen?dentl超验主义)”.

It started with Emerson’s Nature and ended with Whitman’s Leaves of Grass (1855) The Transcendentalists set up a club called “Transcendentalist(tr?nsen'dentlist] adj. 先验论者的,超越论者的)Club”. They expressed their views published their journal Dial. The center place is New England and Concord( concord -简明英汉词典D.J.[?k?n?k?:d, ?k??-]n. 和谐, 一致, 和睦).

Major features

1) Emphasis on spirit or the Oversoul as the most important thing in the universe

2) The individual as the most important element of society

3) Nature as symbolic of the Spirit or God

Limitations:

1) The shallow (shallow [???l?u] adj. 1.浅的2.肤浅的) optimism(n. 乐观, 乐观主义) made it

impossible for them to understand human suffering.

2) They cut themselves from life and were trapped by empty talk. They stressed too much on human intuition (in tuition [??ntju?i??n] n.1.直觉2.凭直觉感知的知识).

3) They failed to provide solution to problem they found.

课后部分习题

1. Early in the 17th century, the England settlements in Virginia and Massachusetts began the main stream of what we recognize as the American national history.

settlers in America included Dutch, Swedes, Germans, French, Spaniards, Italians, and

3. The first permanent English settlement in North America was established at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.

4. There was little of the religious ferment(骚乱,动荡)and zeal(热心,热忱,热情)that inspired such a tide of literature to flow Puritan New England.

5. The Puritans had come to New England for the sake of religious freedom, while Virginia had been planted mainly as a commercial venture.

6.Hard work,thrift(节约,节俭),piety(虔诚,虔敬)and sobriety(清醒,未醉,严肃,节制)were the Puritan values that dominated much of the earliest American writing, including the sermons(布道,说教),books , and letters of such noted Puritan clergymen as John Cotton and Cotton Mather.

True or false: The first American literature was neither American nor really literature.(T)

It was not American because it was the work mainly of immigrants from England. It was not literature as we know it---in the form of poetry, essays, or fiction---but rather an interesting mixture of travel accounts and religious writings. The earliest colonial travel accounts are records of the perils(极大危险;危险的事或环境)and frustrations that challenged the courage of America’s first settlers. (P2)

1. What are the influences of American Puritanism on American Literature?

①Basis of American literature

dreamed of living under a perfect order;worked with courage;hoped to build an Eden of Garden on earth;faced the worst of life with optimism--went into the making of American literature

All literature is based on a myth--Garden of Eden

②Contributing to the development of Symbolism(象征主义): a technique, widely used。Symbolism means using symbols in literary works. The symbol means something that represents or stands for abstract(抽象的,抽象,摘要,抽取提取,做…的摘)deep meaning.

Puritans thought that all the simple objects existing in the world connoted deep meaning.

③Influencing the style of literature: simple, fresh and direct, the rhetoric is plain and honest( just as the style of the Authorized Version of Holy Bible)

Without understanding of Puritanism, there can be no good understanding of American culture and literature. Influence on literature:

In form: imitating English classical writers

In content: utilitarian ([ju:?t?l??te?ri:?n] adj. 1.有效用的;实用的 2.功利(主义)的 n. 功利主义者;实用主义者) tendency (for political or educational purpose)

2. Term: Puritanism

Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of the Puritans. The Puritans were originally members of a division of the Protestant Church, who came into existence in the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James I. The first settlers who became the founding fathers of the American nation were quite a few of them Puritans. They came to America out of various reasons, but it should be remembered that they were a group of serious, religious people, advocating highly religious and moral principles.

As the word itself hints Puritans wanted to purify their religious beliefs and practices. They felt that the Church of England was too close to the Church of Rome in doctrine, form of worship, and organization of authority. The American Puritans, like their brothers back in England, were idealists, believing that the church should be restored

to complete “purity.”

They accepted the doctrine of predestination, original sin and total depravity, and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace from God. But in the grim struggle for survival that followed immediate after their arrival in America, they became more and more practical, as indeed they had to be. Puritans’ lives were extremely disciplined and hard. They drove out of their settlements all those opinions that seemed dangerous to them, and history has criticized their actions.

Yet in the persecution of what they considered error, the Puritans were no worse than many other movements in history. As a culture heritage, Puritanism did have a profound influence on the early American mind. American Puritanism also had an enduring influence on American literature. It had become, to some extent, so much a state of mind, so much a part of the national cultural atmosphere, rather than a set of tenets.

Fill in the blanks

1.As we have seen, theology(神学,宗教研究;宗教理论,宗教体系;某种宗教信仰)dominated(支配,统治)the Puritan phase(阶段,时期)of American writing. Politics was the next great subject to command(n.命令,指挥,控制,掌握,运用力,控制力,不对,兵团,指挥部;vt&vi指挥,控制;vt命令,应得,博得,值得,俯瞰,掌握)the attention of the best minds.

2.Freedom was won as much by the fiery(燃烧的,火似的,火热的;激烈的,易怒的,暴躁的)rhetoric(修辞)of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and the eloquence(口才,雄辩)of the Declaration of Independence(《独立宣言》)as by the weapons of Washington or Lafayette(French soldier who served under George Washington in the American Revolution (1757-1834)).

3.The British government hampered(vt限制,妨碍,束缚;n.有盖的大篮子)colonial economy by requiring Americans to ship raw(未加工的,生的,天然的,未经过训练的,没有经验的,刺痛的)materials abroad and to import finished goods at prices higher than the lost of making them in this country.

4. American Enlightenment dealt a decisive(决定性的;果断的,坚定的)blow(一击,打击)upon the puritan traditions and brought to life secular(现世的,俗界的)education and literature.

5. The secular ideas of the American Enlightenment were exemplified(vt是…的典型;例示,举例说明)in the life and career of Benjamin Franklin, who instructed(命令,指示,教,知道,通知)his countrymen as a printer, not a priest(基督教和罗马天主教的神父,牧师).

6. In 1783, the year the United States achieved its independence, Noah Webster declared, “America must be as independent in literature as she is in politics, as famous for the arts as for arms.”

国际金融期末复习重点范文

第一章 1.国际收支P7 答:国际收支是一国居民与外国居民在一定时期内各项经济交易的货币价值总和。 2.经常账户P8 答:经常账户是指对实际资源国际流动行为进行记录的账户。 3.资本与金融账户P9 答:资本与金融账户是指对资产所有权国际流动行为进行记录的账户。 第二章 1.外国金融市场和离岸金融市场P22 答:(1)交易者一方为市场所在地居民的国际金融市场可以称为外国金融市场或在岸金融市场。 (2) 非居民之间进行交易的国际金融市场可称为离岸金融市场。 ※2.国际金融市场的构成P23~P24 答:国际金融市场可以分为国际资本市场和国际货币市场。前者主要涉及中长期(期限在一年以上)跨国资本流动;后者主要是指借贷期限为一年以内的短期跨国资金流动。国际资本市场包括国际银行中长期贷款市场和证券市场。国际货币市场主要包括银行短期信贷市场、短期证券市场和贴现市场。 3.外汇P29 答:外汇是指以外国货币表示的、能用来清算国际收支差额的资产。 ※4.欧洲美元市场利率的优势P38 答:1)在国内金融市场上,商业银行会受到存款准备金以及利率上限等管制与限制,这增加了它的运营成本,而欧洲美元市场上则无此管制约束,同时也可以自主地确定利率,不受“利率上限”之类措施的限制,因此在欧洲美元市场上活动的银行便能提供更具竞争力的利率。2)欧洲美元市场在很大程度上是一个银行同业市场,交易数额很大,因此手续费及其他各项服务性费用成本较低。 3)欧洲美元市场上的贷款客户通常都是大公司或政府机构,信誉很高,贷款的风险相对较低。 4)欧洲美元市场上竞争格外激烈,这一竞争因素也会降低交易成本。5)与国内金融市场相比,欧洲美元市场上因管制少从而创新活动发展更快,应用得更广,这也对降低市场参与者的交易成本有明显效果。 ※5.欧洲货币市场的经营特点P42 答:1)市场范围广阔,不受地理限制,是由现代化网络联系而成的全球性统一市场,但也存在着一些地理中心。这些地理中心一般是由传统的金融中心城市发展而来的。20世纪60年代以来一些具有特殊条件的城市形成了新的欧洲货币中心。传统的和新兴的国际金融中心在世界范围内大约流通了2/3的欧洲货币市场的资金。 2)交易规模巨大,交易品种、币种繁多,金融创新极其活跃。绝大多数欧洲货币市场上的单笔交易金额都超过一百万美元,几亿或几十亿美元的交易也很普遍。欧洲货币市场上的交易品种主要是同业拆放、欧洲银行贷款与欧洲债券。 3)有自己独特的利率结构。欧洲货币市场的利率体系的基础是伦敦银行同业拆放利率。一般来讲,欧洲货币市场上存贷款的利差比各国国内市场存贷款的利差要小,这一利率上的优势是欧洲货币市场吸引了大批客户。 4)由于一般从事非居民的境外货币借贷,它所受管制较少。欧洲货币市场的飞速发展使其对国内外经济产生了巨大的影响,但是它不受任何一国国内法律的管制,也尚不存在专门对这一市场进行管制的国际法律,因此这一市场上的风险日益加剧。 第三章 1.马歇尔-勒纳条件P54 答:当本国国民收入不变时,贬值可以改善贸易余额的条件是进出口地需求弹性之和大于1,即:η* + η>1,这一条件,被称为马歇尔-勒纳条件。 ※2.固定汇率制下的开放经济平衡P63~P66 答:1)开放经济的平衡条件----在开放经济下,只有在商品市场、货币市场、外汇市场同时处于平衡时,经济才处于平衡状态。

美国文学史复习1(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. 4、The earliest settlers included Dutch, Swedes, Germans, French, Spaniards Italian, and Portuguese. 美国文学史复习2(reason and revolution) (2009-01-17 15:54:25) 一、美国的性质: The war for Independence ended in the formation of a Federative bourgeois democratic republic - the United States of America. 联邦的资产阶级民主共和国--美利坚合众国。 二、代表作家: 1、Benjamin Franklin 本杰明·富兰克林 1706-1790 1)"Poor Richard's Almanac" 穷人查理德的年鉴 annual collection of proverbs 流行谚语集

概述中国历史上的民族大融合 自古以来,中国就是一个十分强大的国家,地大物博,人口众多,有着悠久的历史,灿烂发展的民族文化。民族种类也是无法比拟的,就当前中国的发展现状和趋势不难发现,中国已发展有五十六个民族,并且和各个民族相互融洽,相互团结的生活在中华民族这个温暖的大家庭中,进而发展到一个很高的历史阶段。纵观中国历史她是怎样发展成现在的状况的呢?这须从中国古代历史说起。 中国历史上的第一次民族大融合──秦朝统一的多民族国家的 建立 秦朝的确立,决定了中国历史上第一次民族大融合。自从有了人类,就决定了人种的不同,即发展成后来的民族。在夏商周时代,各个部落的存在,每一个部落都是按照一定的血缘关系组成的,说明了组成部落的人种不同,不同的人种,形成了各民族。春秋战国时期,由于民族的风土人情、生活习惯大不相同,再加上诸侯兼并,势必会引起矛盾。为了生存,他们连年征战,广大农民不分民族深受其害,苦不堪言。人们迫切要求统一,结束这种局面。应时代需求,秦国在商鞅变法的基础上和赢政的带领下,经改革,励图治,平息了各民族之间的纠纷,建立了我国历史上第一个统一的封建国家,把各族统一为一个整体,为中国的民族融合、民族大团结迈出了第一步。 中国历史上第二次民族大融合──北魏的民族大融合

中国的封建社会历经秦、西汉以后,东汉时部分北方少数民族出现内迁。此后,朝代出现了分裂,魏蜀吴三分天下,乃至两晋时期国家处于十分混乱的局面,但在两晋时期由于司马家族的努力,出现的两晋的短期统一,而此时出现少数民族的内迁(内迁各民族主要有匈奴、鲜卑、羯、氐、羌即“五胡内迁”),少数民族的内迁,同汉族及其他少数民族杂居相处,逐渐融合,对祖国北方的生产做出了贡献。但是,由于两晋统治者对少数民族的剥削和压迫,激化了阶级矛盾和民族矛盾。时至北朝时期,鲜卑族兴起,后统一黄河流域,建立北魏,结束了十六国的分裂局面,出现了民族大融合的趋势。而在此时,居住的北方少数民族在生产实践中逐渐改变了过去本民族的游牧生活习惯。当然汉族人民也向少数民族人民学到了很多东西,各族劳动人民在反对各民族统治阶级斗争的过程中,也进一步加强了联系,互相支持,促进了融合,到孝文帝继位后,由于改革的完成,有力地促进了民族大融合,于是在孝文帝的领导下,落实实施了汉化政策,让少数民族同汉族人民混杂相处,通婚、改汉姓、说汉话、穿汉服,完成了我国历史上著名的第二次民族大融合,同时也加速了北方封建化的进程。 中国历史上第三次民族大融合──元朝的民族大融合 自古历史分久必合、合久必分。隋唐统一中国以后,中国出现了历史上前所未有的盛世景象,使封建社会达到顶峰时期,唐朝后期藩镇割据,时至藩镇灭唐以后,中国北方的少数民族逐渐强盛起来,国家和社会一片混乱,鱼龙混杂,民族之间也存在着矛盾。后来随着蒙

1.国际收支平衡表基本原理 一、账户分类:一级账户:(1)经常账户(2)资本与金融账户(3)错误和遗漏账户 (1)经常账户:二级账户①货物②服务③收入④经常转移 (2)资本与金融账户:二级账户①直接投资②证券投资③其他投资 ④储备资产 二、复式记账法 (1 )有借必有贷,借贷必平衡 (2)借方记录的是资金的使用和占用,贷方记录的是资金的来 源。 三、记账货币 为了使各种交易间具有记录和比较的基础,需要在记账时将其折算成同一种货币,这种货币就被称为记账货币。在国际收支平衡表记账时,以不同货币结算的对外交易需要按记账货币和具体交易货币之间的比价(即汇率)折算为记账货币。 2.影响汇率的经济因素 1 )国际收支当一国的国际收入大于支出即国际收支顺差时,可以说是外汇的供应大于需求,因而本国货币升值,外国货币贬值。与之相反,当一国的国际收入小于国际支出即国际收支出现逆差时,可以说是外汇的供应小于需求,因而本国货币贬值,外国货币升值。 (2)相对通货膨胀率
