From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better than thy stroke, why swell'st thou then？
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

“How so?How can it affect them?”
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”
“Is that his design in settling here?”
“Design!Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr.
Bingley might like you the best of the party.”
“My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.”
“In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighborhood.”
“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”
“But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”

Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,

关于考研准备的几点建议(二)复习计划与策略
1.初试 –１、考试科目：政治、二外、基础英语(包括写作与翻译) (分值150分) 、英美文学、语言学(有的学校不分专业方向, 只考基础英语和专业知识) (分值150分) –2、初试总分要求：大约350分（各校情况不一样）; 允许有一科成绩不及格，但不能低于某个分数(比如55分)。 –参考书目(好些学校不列参考书) 2.复试 –参加复试与录取的比例：1.2:1 –考试科目：听力和口试 –成绩计算：初试分数加上复试分数 如何备考 –英语专业考研试题的特点：
一是题量大， 二是对基础能力、基础知识要求很高，三是知识涵盖面广， 四是各个学校对知识点考核的差异很大。 –这就要求考生在复习时应该提早准备，扎扎实实的打好基础。 考研参考书目 –英语语言学的复习用书： 胡壮麟的《语言学教程》 刘润清、文旭的《新编语言学教程》 桂诗春的《应用语言学》 戴伟栋的《简明英语语言学教程》等 –英美文学的复习用书： 罗经国的《新编英国文学选读》 常耀信的《美国文学简史》、《美国文学选读》
张伯香的《英美文学选读》、《英国文学教程》 陈嘉的《英国文学史》 杨岂深的《英国文学选读》 吴伟仁的《英国文学史及选读》和《美国文学史及选读》 刘炳善的《英国文学简史》 –英语国家文化的复习用书： 王佐良《欧洲文化入门》、 朱永涛、余志远《英美文学基础教程》、《英语国家概况》等 –翻译方面的复习用书： 冯庆华《实用翻译教程》 郭著章《翻译教程》
–基础英语一般不指定教材，但是张汉熙的《高级英语》很重要。 注重共核性知识的复习和掌握 –所谓共核，就是任何学校都要考的，比如英语的基础知识：如词汇、语法、修辞、阅读、写作、翻译等；专业英语知识：如语言学、文学、文化等。 –要了解所报考学校的试题特点，突出重点，有针对性地进行复习。 –抓紧时间通读指定参考书，要注意找到自己的薄弱环节，集中复习，重点掌握，特别是基础英语，哪项薄弱补哪项，提高专项应试技能，保证总分到位。 要特别注意复习真题 –首先，要有较标准的真题参考答案。 –第二，要有得分意识，专业卷基本能得到120分，才能有胜算的把握。

英语专业考研经验 英语, 考研, 专业, 经验 关于英语专业研究生的准备2008-08-10 22:00 关于英语专业研究生的准备 昨天有个学弟问我关于考研的一些事，考虑到可能还有很多其他英语专业的学弟和学妹们现在正为这个事烦恼，我就在这里笼而统之地说一下关于我们英语专业考研的事，希望对大家有所帮助。 1. 3. 关于着手准备和时间的安排 英语专业的考研其实没有想象中那么难,如果你平时基础不错的话,即便九月份开始也绝对来的及,可是如果一个没有良好的学习习惯的做保障的话,即便从六月开始准备也是不可能考的好的. 关于专业课的准备 其实在考研的过程中,相比复习政治而言,复习专业课算是休息了,每个学校的第年的招生简章里都会对书目有明确的说明,在8月份左右大都会出来. 所以暑假就应该开始看专业课的书目,进行第一遍.这些书你不见得本本都要钻研. 特别是书目较多的时候,有的学校的参考书竟然有十本之多!聪明的选择是问以前考过的学长们那些书要重点看,重点看哪些章节,而且要问近两年考上的,然后做上记号.不要急着开始消化,要搭个架子起来,特别是语言学的一些理论,绝对是熟读多遍,其义自现. 这时候还有一样事情要做,购买历年的试卷,我认为5年以内的绝对有富余,拿到这些卷子你可以选择对照卷子复习,尤其是语言学和文学,也可以等第一遍完成了再用卷子检验自己,查缺补漏.买卷子是很烦人的,要做好心理准备. 如果专业课的书目不太多,很快看完. 那就赶紧看第二遍,但是第二遍得看得慢一些,尽可能理解并记忆,主要精力因该放在基础英语上面,(不考基础英语的除外) 参照自己学校的卷子,有词汇题考察的大部分是来自GRE词汇，以广外为首，该怎么做自己知道吧，GRE 词汇书书店里都有.也有一些学校德词汇题不太难，就只做中国石化出版社的 <基础英语真题解析>里面的题目就够了.里面有差不多几十个学校的真题,词汇部分各种词汇题型都有.说到这本书,虽说大体很好,但是也有些小瑕疵.比如有些试题只有答案没有解析,还有些答案给的有些马虎,不过是少数情况,我建议如果有新版的就买新版的,因为新版里可能会添加多一些学校的卷子,答案也会完善些. 有人很强调语感在考试中的作用，的确，语感很重要，很多学姐推荐张汉熙的<高级英语>,我个人觉得其实<新编英语教程>4和5也很不错. 如果有学校专门要考翻译写作的,那一定要看张培基的<现代散文选>,也有人说<散文108篇>好,我意见张的那本更好些, 后面那一本是译林出版社出的,字印的小,看几天也动不了几面,自信心极度受挫,不过好像也有别的版本,字印的不那么小.不论哪本书选一套就好,必须自己翻译,不要只是看,不然
