Glossary of TermsA |B |C |D |E |F |G |H |I |J |K |L |M |N |O |P |Q |R |S |T |U |V |W | ZAAbstract: Used as a noun, the term refers to a short summary or outline of a longer work. As an adjective applied to writing or literary works, abstract refers to words or phrases that name things not knowable through the five senses.Examples of abstracts include the Cliffs Notes summaries of major literary works. Examples of abstract terms or concepts include "idea," "guilt" "honesty," and "loyalty." (Compare with Concrete.)Absurd, Theater of the: See Theater of the AbsurdAbsurdism: See Theater of the AbsurdAccent: The emphasis or stress placed on a syllable in poetry. Traditional poetry commonly uses patterns of accented and unaccented syllables (known as feet) that create distinct rhythms. Much modern poetry uses less formal arrangements that create a sense of freedom and spontaneity.The following line from William Shakespeare's Hamlet:"To be or not to be: that is the question"has five accents, on the words "be," "not," "be," and "that," and the first syllable of "question." (See also Cadence, Foot, Measure, Meter, poem, Poetics, Poetry, Scansion, Sprung Rhythm, Verse, and Versification.)Act: A major section of a play. Acts are divided into varying numbers of shorter scenes. From ancient times to the nineteenth century plays were generally constructed of five acts, but modern works typically consist of one, two, or three acts.Examples of five-act plays include the works of Sophocles and Shakespeare, while the plays of Arthur Miller commonly have a three-act structure. (Compare with Scene.) (See also drama.)Acto: A one-act Chicano theater piece developed out of collective improvisation. Actos were performed by members of Luis Valdez's Teatro Campesino in California during the mid-1960s.Aestheticism: A literary and artistic movement of the nineteenth century. Followers ofthe movement believed that art should not be mixed with social, political, or moral teaching. The statement "art for art's sake" is a good summary of aestheticism. The movement had its roots in France, but it gained widespread importance in England in the last half of the nineteenth century, where it helped change the Victorian practice of including moral lessons in literature.Oscar Wilde is one of the best-known "aesthetes" of the late nineteenth century. (See also Decadents.)Affective Fallacy: (Also known as Sympathetic Fallacy.) An error in judging the merits or faults of a work of literature. The "error" results from stressing the importance of the work's effect upon the reader —that is, how it makes a reader "feel" emotionally, what it does as a literary work —instead of stressing its inner qualities as a created object, or what it "is."The affective fallacy is evident in Aristotle's precept from his Poeticsthat the purpose of tragedy is to evoke "fear and pity" in its spectators.Age of Johnson: (Also known as Age of Sensibility). The period in English literature between 1750 and 1798, named after the most prominent literary figure of the age, Samuel Johnson. Works written during this time are noted for their emphasis on "sensibility," or emotional quality. These works formed a transition between the rational works of the Age of Reason, or Neoclassical period, and the emphasis on individual feelings and responses of the Romantic period.Significant writers during the Age of Johnson included the novelists Ann Radcliffe and Henry Mackenzie, dramatists Richard Sheridan and Oliver Goldsmith, and poets William Collins and Thomas Gray. (Compare with Neoclassicismand romanticism.)Age of Reason: See NeoclassicismAge of Sensibility: See Age of JohnsonAgrarians: A group of Southern American writers of the 1930s and 1940s who fostered an economic and cultural program for the South based on agriculture, in opposition to the industrial society of the North. The term can refer to any group that promotes the value of farm life and agricultural society.Members of the original Agrarians included John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warren.Alexandrine Meter: See MeterAllegory: A narrativetechnique in which characters representing things or abstractideas are used to convey a message or teach a lesson. Allegory is typically used to teach moral, ethical, or religious lessons but is sometimes used for satiric or political purposes.Examples of allegorical works include Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.(See also Exemplumand Fable.)Alliteration: A poetic device where the first consonant sounds or any vowel sounds in words or syllables are repeated.The following description of the Green Knight from the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight gives an example of alliteration:And in guise all of green, the gear and the man:A coat cut close, that clung to his sidesAn a mantle to match, made with a liningOf furs cut and fitted — the fabric was noble....(Compare with Assonanceand rhyme.) (See also poem, Poetics, Poetry, Verse, and Versification.)Allusion: A reference to a familiar literary or historical person or event, used to make an idea more easily understood.For example, describing someone as a "Romeo" makes an allusion to William Shakespeare's famous young lover in Romeo and Juliet.Amerind Literature: The writing and oral traditions of Native Americans. Native American literaturewas originally passed on by word of mouth, so it consisted largely of stories and events that were easily memorized. Amerind proseis often rhythmic like Poetry because it was recited to the beat of a ceremonial drum.Examples of Amerind literature include the autobiographical Black Elk Speaks, the works of N. Scott Momaday, James Welch, and Craig Lee Strete, and the poetry of Luci Tapahonso.Analogy: A comparison of two things made to explain something unfamiliar through its similarities to something familiar, or to prove one point based on the acceptedness of another. Similes and metaphors are types of analogies.Analogies often take the formof an extended simile, as in William Blake's aphorism: "As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys." (Compare with Simileand Metaphor.)Anapest: See FootAngry Young Men: A group of British writers of the 1950s whose work expressed bitterness and disillusionment with society. Common to their work is an anti-hero who rebels against a corrupt social order and strives for personal integrity.The term has been used to describe Kingsley Amis, John Osborne, Colin Wilson, John Wain, and others.Antagonist: The major characterin a narrativeor dramawho works against the heroor protagonist.An example of an evil antagonist is Richard Lovelace in Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, while a virtuous antagonist is Macduff in William Shakespeare's Macbeth.(Compare with protagonist.) (See also anti-hero, conflict.)Anthropomorphism: The presentation of animals or objects in human shape or with human characteristics. The term is derived from the Greek word for "human form."The Fables of Aesop, the animated films of Walt Disney, and Richard Adams's Watership Downfeature anthropomorphic characters. (Compare with Personification.) Anti-hero: A central characterin a work of literature who lacks traditional heroic qualities such as courage, physical prowess, and fortitude. Anti-heros typically distrust conventional values and are unable to commit themselves to any ideals. They generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control. Anti-heroes usually accept, and often celebrate, their positions as social outcasts.A well-known anti-hero is Yossarian in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22.(Compare with Antagonist, Hero, and Protagonist.)Antimasque: See MasqueAnti-novel: A term coined by French critic Jean-Paul Sartre. It refers to any experimental work of fictionthat avoids the familiar conventions of the novel. The anti-novel usually fragments and distorts the experience of its characters, forcing the reader to construct the reality of the story from a disordered narrative.The best-known anti-novelist is Alain Robbe-Grillet, author of Le voyeur.Antithesis: The antithesis of something is its direct opposite. In literature, the use of antithesis as a figure of speech results in two statements that show a contrast through the balancing of two opposite ideas. Technically, it is the second portion of the statement that is defined as the "antithesis"; the first portion is the "thesis."An example of antithesis is found in the following portion of Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address"; notice the opposition between the verbs "remember" and "forget" and the phrases "what we say" and "what they did": "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here."Apocrypha: Writings tentatively attributed to an author but not proven or universally accepted to be their works. The term was originally applied to certain books of the Bible that were not considered inspired and so were not included in the "sacred canon."Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Thomas Kyd, Thomas Middleton, and John Marston all have apocrypha. Apocryphal books of the Bible include the Old Testament's Book of Enoch and New Testament's Gospel of Thomas.Apollonian and Dionysian: The two impulses believed to guide authors of dramatic tragedy. The Apollonian impulse is named after Apollo, the Greek god of light and beauty and the symbol of intellectual order. The Dionysian impulse is named after Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and the symbol of the unrestrained forces of nature. The Apollonian impulse is to create a rational, harmonious world, while the Dionysian is to express the irrational forces of personality.Friedrich Nietzche uses these terms in The Birth of Tragedyto designate contrasting elements in Greek tragedy. (Compare with classicismand romanticism.) Apostrophe: A statement, question, or request addressed to an inanimate object or concept or to a nonexistent or absent person.Requests for inspiration from the musesin poetry are examples of apostrophe, as is Marc Antony's address to Caesar's corpse in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!...Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!..."(Compare with Monologueand Soliloquy.)Apprenticeship Novel: See BildungsromanArchetype: The word archetype is commonly used to describe an original pattern or model from which all other things of the same kind are made. This term was introduced to literary criticismfrom the psychology of Carl Jung. It expresses Jung's theory that behind every person's "unconscious," or repressed memories of the past, lies the "collective unconscious" of the human race: memories of the countless typical experiences of our ancestors. These memories are said to prompt illogical associations that trigger powerful emotions in the reader. Often, the emotional process is primitive,even primordial. Archetypes are the literary images that grow out of the "collective unconscious." They appear in literatureas incidents and plots that repeat basic patterns of life. They may also appear as stereotyped characters.Examples of literary archetypes include themes such as birth and death and characters such as the Earth Mother.Argument: The argument of a work is the author's subject matter or principal idea.Examples of defined "argument" portions of works include John Milton's Arguments to each of the books of Paradise Lost and the "Argument" to Robert Herrick's Hesperides.Aristotelian Criticism: Specifically, the method of evaluating and analyzing tragedy formulated by the Greek philosopher Aristotle in his Poetics.More generally, the term indicates any form of criticismthat follows Aristotle's views. Aristotelian criticism focuses on the form and logical structure of a work, apart from its historical or social context, in contrast to "Platonic Criticism," which stresses the usefulness of art. Adherents of New Criticism including John Crowe Ransom and Cleanth Brooks utilize and value the basic ideas of Aristotelian criticism for textual analysis. (Compare with Platonic Criticism.) (See also catharsis, New Criticism.)Art for Art's Sake: See Aestheticism.Aside: A comment made by a stage performer that is intended to be heard by the audiencebut supposedly not by other characters.Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude is an extended use of the aside in modern theater.Assonance: The repetition of similar vowel sounds in Poetry.The following lines from Gerald Manley Hopkins's "God's Grandeur" contain several patterns of assonance:The world is charged with the grandeur of God.It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oilCrushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?(Compare with Alliteration, Dissonance, and rhyme.)Audience: The people for whom a piece of literatureis written. Authors usually write with a certain audience in mind, for example, children, members of a religious or ethnic group, or colleagues in a professional field. The term "audience" also applies to the people who gather to see or hear any performance, including plays, Poetryreadings, speeches, and concerts.Jane Austen's parody of the gothic novel, Northanger Abbey, was originally intended for (and also pokes fun at) an audience of young and avid female gothic novel readers.Autobiography: A connected narrative in which an individual tells his or her life story.Examples include Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and Henry Adams's The Education of Henry Adams.(Compare with Biography.) (See also Diaryand Memoirs.)Automatic Writing: Writing carried out without a preconceived plan in an effort to capture every random thought. Authors who engage in automatic writing typically do not revise their work, preferring instead to preserve the revealed truth and beauty of spontaneous expression.Automatic writing was employed by many of the Surrealist writers, notably the French poetRobert Desnos. (See also Surrealism.)Avant-garde: A French term meaning "vanguard." It is used in literary criticismto describe new writing that rejects traditional approaches to literaturein favor of innovations in style or content.Twentieth-century examples of the literary avant-gardeinclude the Black Mountain Schoolof poets, the Bloomsbury Group, and the Beat Movement.BBallad: A short poem that tells a simple story and has a repeated refrain. Ballads were originally intended to be sung. Early ballads, known as folk ballads, were passed down through generations, so their authors are often unknown. Later ballads composed by known authors are called literary ballads.An example of an anonymous folk ballad is "Edward," which dates from the Middle Ages. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and John Keats's "La Belle Dame sans Merci" are examples of literary ballads. (Compare with Corrido and Oral Transmission.)Baroque: A term used in literary criticism to describe literature that is complex or ornate in style or diction. Baroque works typically express tension, anxiety, and violent emotion. The term "Baroque Age" designates a period in Western European literature beginning in the late sixteenth century and ending about one hundred years later. Works of this period often mirror the qualities of works more generally associated with the label "baroque" and sometimes feature elaborate conceits. Examples of Baroque works include John Lyly's Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit, Luisde Gongora's Soledads, and William Shakespeare's As You Like It.Baroque Age: See BaroqueBaroque Period: See BaroqueBeat Generation: See Beat MovementBeat Movement: A period featuring a group of American poets and novelists of the 1950s and 1960s — including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William S. Burroughs, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti —who rejected established social and literary values. Using such techniques as stream of consciousness writing and jazz-influenced free Verse and focusing on unusual or abnormal states of mind —generated by religious ecstasy or the use of drugs — the Beat writers aimed to create works that were unconventional in both form and subject matter.Kerouac's On the Roadis perhaps the best-known example of a Beat Generation novel, and Ginsberg's Howlis a famous collection of Beat Poetry.Beat Poets: See Beat MovementBeats, The: See Beat MovementBelles-lettres: A French term meaning "fine letters" or "beautiful writing." It is often used as a synonym for literature, typically referring to imaginative and artistic rather than scientific or expository writing. Current usage sometimes restricts the meaning to light or humorous writing and appreciative essays about literature.Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland epitomizes the realm of belles-lettres.Bildungsroman: (Also known as Apprenticeship Novel, Coming of Age Novel, Erziehungsroman, or Kunstlerroman.) A German word meaning "novel of development." The bildungsromanis a study of the maturation of a youthful character, typically brought about through a series of social or sexual encounters that lead to self-awareness. Bildungsroman is used interchangeably with erziehungsroman,a novel of initiation and education. When a bildungsroman is concerned with the development of an artist (as in James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man), it is often termed a kunstlerroman.Well-known bildungsromane include J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Robert Newton Peck's A Day No Pigs Would Die, and S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders. Biography: A connected narrative that tells a person's life story. Biographies typically aim to be objective and closely detailed. James Boswell's The Life of SamuelJohnson,LL.D is a famous example of the form. (Compare with Autobiography and Memoirs.Black Aesthetic Movement: (Also known as Black Arts Movement.) A period of artistic and literary development among African Americans in the 1960s and early 1970s. This was the first major African-American artistic movement since the Harlem Renaissance and was closely paralleled by the civil rights and black power movements. The black aesthetic writers attempted to produce works of art that would be meaningful to the black masses. Key figures in black aesthetics included one of its founders, poet and playwright Amiri Baraka, formerly known as LeRoi Jones; poet and essayist Haki R. Madhubuti, formerly Don L. Lee; poet and playwright Sonia Sanchez; and dramatist Ed Bullins.Works representative of the Black Aesthetic Movement include Amiri Baraka's play Dutchman, a 1964 Obie award-winner; Black Fire: An Anthology of Afro-American Writing,edited by Baraka and playwright Larry Neal and published in 1968; and Sonia Sanchez's poetry collection We a BaddDDD People, published in 1970.Black Arts Movement: See Black Aesthetic MovementBlack Comedy: See Black HumorBlack Humor: (Also known as Black Comedy.) Writing that places grotesque elements side by side with humorous ones in an attempt to shock the reader, forcing him or her to laugh at the horrifying reality of a disordered world.Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 is considered a superb example of the use of black humor. Other well-known authors who use black humor include Kurt V onnegut, Edward Albee, Eugene Ionesco, and Harold Pinter.Black Mountain School: Black Mountain College and three of its instructors —Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, and Charles Olson —were all influential in projective verse, so poets working in projective verse are now referred as members of the Black Mountain school.The Black Mountain Review published much of the work of Black Mountain school poets.Blank Verse: Loosely, any unrhymed poetry, but more generally, unrhymed iambic pentameter verse(composed of lines of five two-syllable feet with the first syllable accented, the second unaccented). Blank verse has been used by poets since the Renaissance for its flexibility and its graceful, dignified tone.John Milton's Paradise Lostis in blank verse, as are most of William Shakespeare's plays.(See also Accent, Foot, Measure, and Meter.)Bloomsbury Group: A group of English writers, artists, and intellectuals who heldinformal artistic and philosophical discussions in Bloomsbury, a district of London, from around 1907 to the early 1930s. The Bloomsbury Group held no uniform philosophical beliefs but did commonly express an aversion to moral prudery and a desire for greater social tolerance.At various times the circle included Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes.Bon Mot: A French term meaning "good word." A bon mot is a witty remark or clever observation.Charles Lamb and Oscar Wilde are celebrated for their witty bon mots. Two examples by Oscar Wilde stand out: (1) "All women become their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his." (2) "A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies."Breath Verse: See Projective VerseBurlesque: Any literary work that uses exaggeration to make its subject appear ridiculous, either by treating a trivial subject with profound seriousness or by treating a dignified subject frivolously. The word "burlesque" may also be used as an adjective, as in "burlesque show," to mean "striptease act."Examples of literary burlesque include the comedies of Aristophanes, Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote,, Samuel Butler's poem "Hudibras," and John Gay's play The Beggar's Opera.(Compare with Parody.)CCadence: The natural rhythm of language caused by the alternation of accented and unaccented syllables. Much modern Poetry—notably free Verse —deliberately manipulates cadence to create complex rhythmic effects.James Macpherson's "Ossian poems" are richly cadenced, as is the poetry of the Symbolists, Walt Whitman, and Amy Lowell. (Compare with Meter.)Caesura: A pause in a line of Poetry, usually occurring near the middle. It typically corresponds to a break in the natural rhythm or sense of the line but is sometimes shifted to create special meanings or rhythmic effects.The opening line of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" contains a caesura following "dreary": "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...." (Compare with Cadence.)Canzone: A short Italian or Provencal lyric poem, commonly about love and often set to music. The canzonehas no set form but typically contains five or six stanzas made up of seven to twenty lines of eleven syllables each. A shorter, five- to ten-line "envoy," or concluding stanza, completes the poem.Masters of the canzone form include Petrarch, Dante Alighieri, Torquato Tasso, andGuido Cavalcanti.Carpe Diem: A Latin term meaning "seize the day." This is a traditional theme of Poetry, especially lyrics. A carpe diem poem advises the reader or the person it addresses to live for today and enjoy the pleasures of the moment.Two celebrated carpe diem poems are Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" and Robert Herrick's poem beginning "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may...."Catharsis: The release or purging of unwanted emotions — specifically fear and pity — brought about by exposure to art. The term was first used by the Greek philosopher Aristotle in his Poeticsto refer to the desired effect of tragedy on spectators.A famous example of catharsis is realized in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex,when Oedipus discovers that his wife, Jacosta, is his own mother and that the stranger he killed on the road was his own father. (See also Aristotelian Criticism.)Celtic Renaissance: (Also known as Celtic Twilight.) A period of Irish literary and cultural history at the end of the nineteenth century. Followers of the movement aimed to create a romantic vision of Celtic myth and legend. The most significant works of the Celtic Renaissance typically present a dreamy, unreal world, usually in reaction against the reality of contemporary problems.William Butler Yeats's The Wanderings of Oisinis among the most significant works of the Celtic Renaissance. (Compare with Irish Literary Renaissanceand romanticism.)Celtic Twilight: See Celtic RenaissanceCharacter: Broadly speaking, a person in a literary work. The actions of characters are what constitute the plot of a story, novel, or poem. There are numerous types of characters, ranging from simple, stereotypical figures to intricate, multifaceted ones. In the techniques of Anthropomorphismand personification, animals —and even places or things — can assume aspects of character. "Characterization" is the process by which an author creates vivid, believable characters in a work of art. This may be done in a variety of ways, including (1) direct description of the character by the narrator; (2) the direct presentation of the speech, thoughts, or actions of the character; and (3) the responses of other characters to the character. The term "character" also refers to a form originated by the ancient Greek writer Theophrastus that later became popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is a short essay or sketch of a person who prominently displays a specific attribute or quality, such as miserliness or ambition.Notable characters in literature include Oedipus Rex, Don Quixote de la Mancha, Macbeth, Candide, Hester Prynne, Ebenezer Scrooge, Huckleberry Finn, Jay Gatsby, Scarlett O'Hara, James Bond, and Kunta Kinte.Characterization: See CharacterChorus: In ancient Greek drama, a group of actors who commented on and interpreted the unfolding action on the stage. Initially the chorus was a major component of the presentation, but over time it became less significant, with its numbers reduced and its role eventually limited to commentary between Acts. By the sixteenth century the chorus — if employed at all — was typically a single person who provided a prologue and an epilogue and occasionally appeared between acts to introduce or underscore an important event.The chorus in William Shakespeare's Henry Vfunctions in this way. Modern dramas rarely feature a chorus, but T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral and Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge are notable exceptions. The Stage Manager in Thornton Wilder's Our Town performs a role similar to that of the chorus.Chronicle: A record of events presented in chronological order. Although the scope and level of detail provided varies greatly among the chronicles surviving from ancient times, some, such as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle,feature vivid descriptions and a lively recounting of events. During the Elizabethan Age, many dramas —appropriately called "chronicle plays" — were based on material from chronicles. Many of William Shakespeare's dramas of English history as well as Christopher Marlowe's Edward II are based in part on Raphael Holinshead's Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland.Classical: In its strictest definition in literary criticism, classicism refers to works of ancient Greek or Roman literature. The term may also be used to describe a literary work of recognized importance (a "classic") from any time period or literature that exhibits the traits of classicism.Classical authors from ancient Greek and Roman times include Juvenal and Homer. Examples of later works and authors now described as classical include French literature of the seventeenth century, Western novels of the nineteenth century, and American fiction of the mid-nineteenth century such as that written by James Fenimore Cooper and Mark Twain.Classicism: A term used in literary criticism to describe critical doctrines that have their roots in ancient Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and art. Works associated with classicism typically exhibit restraint on the part of the author, unity of design and purpose, clarity, simplicity, logical organization, and respect for tradition. Examples of literary classicism include Cicero's prose, the dramas of Pierre Corneille and Jean Racine, the Poetry of John Dryden and Alexander Pope, and the writings of J. W. von Goethe, G. E. Lessing, and T. S. Eliot.Climax: The turning point in a narrative, the moment when the conflict is at its most intense. Typically, the structure of stories, novels, and plays is one of rising action, in which tension builds to the climax, followed by falling action, in which tension lessens as the story moves to its conclusion.。
英语-词源故事1. Chemistry化学古代的炼金术士总想找到一种将低贱的金属变为金子的方法。
现在原子裂变的原理表明,他们的这种想法并非一般人们想象的那么愚蠢。
古埃及人入侵欧洲后,将他们所研究的炼金术,连同其命名al-kimia一起传入欧洲。
后来,这个词变成alchemy,“炼金的人”叫做alchemist,最后成了chemistry,“化学”的概念就是从“炼金术”演变来的。
2. Atom原子古希腊人认为,物质是不可能无限止地分割下去的,越分越小,最后小到不可再分。
他们把“原子”叫做atomos,a即“not”;tomos,“cut”意即“不能再分割”以后这个词在英语中演变为atom。
尽管后来发现“原子”并非“不可再分割”,然而约定俗成,“原子”的名字仍然以atom流传下来。
3. Uranium铀“铀”是一种放射性金属元素,化学符号为U,主要用来产生原子能。
着名的物理学家居里夫人曾用铀作实验,发现了放射现象。
Uranium这个词是从希腊神话中一位神的名字来的。
1781年,英籍德国天文学家赫瑟尔(Sir William Herschel)发现了一颗尚未被人们发现的行星,于是他就借用了希腊神话中“天王”Ouranos 的名字,命名这颗行星为Uranus。
即“天王星”。
8年后,德国化学家Kloproth发现了第92种元素。
为了纪念赫瑟尔和他的行星,他命名这种元素为uranium,我们简译成“铀”。
4. X-ray X射线X射线,又叫X光,是德国物理学家伦琴(Wilhelm Konrad von Roentgen)发现的,因而也叫“伦琴射线”。
1895年的一天,伦琴正用一个真空管作气体导电实验,突然发现这种射线穿透了普通光不能透过的物体,这一发现使他十分吃惊。
数年后一位好奇的朋友问这位教授:“你发现这种射线时,是怎么想的呢?”“我什么也没想”,他回答说,“我在做实验”。

Page 2 This section defines common short story terms. A
antagonist– one that opposes protagonist and could be anything including another character or the environment even the protagonist himself/herself, depending on what type of conflict it is. Contrast with protagonist.
e.g. In the film calledThe Silence of the Lambs which is a horror film, one character called Buffalo Bill could be considered as the antagonist in the film because this character is a serial killer who strips the skin of the deceased after he tortured the victim. This character opposed to the protagonist of this film who is an FBI detective and responsible for unraveling these serial killings.
C
chronological order – a method oforganization in which actions or events are presented as they occur (or occurred) in time/the actual sequence of the events arranged by their occurrence in time. Contrast withflashback.
e.g. In the film called The Silence of the Lambs, the chronological order is: An FBI trainee called Clarice Starling was assigned to interview a former psychiatrist and incarcerated cannibalistic serial killer - Hannibal in a prison in order to learn the criminal mind of the serial killer-Buffalo
Bill. →the trainee got some clues from the previous cases done by Buffalo Bill, especially the special cocoon placed in every victim’s throat. At the same time, the U.S. Senator’s daughter was abducted by Buffalo Bill, so the trainee had to save the daughter →Clarice found one person called Jame Gumb perfectly matched with the clues since he once bought a huge box of sphinx moth→ Clarice finally found the basement of Buffalo Bill and shot him to death. The Senator’s daughter was successfully saved by Clarice.
climax – the turning point in the action and/or the highest point of interest or excitement. Here, the reader may find out what happens to the conflict, or the resolution of the conflict so that the readers could understand the tendency of the story.
e.g. In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, the story reaches its climax in Act 3 which is a scene that Romeo killed his wife’s cousin- Tybalt and the audience becomes to wonder about how Romeo could get out of this terrible situation.
It qualifies as a climax because after this act all the prior conflicts start to be resolved and mysteries unfold themselves and thus the story moves toward its logical conclusion during the coming scenes.
D
dialogue – a verbal exchange between two or more people which occurs when two or more speakers have a conversation.
e.g. Annina: Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault? Rick: Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so. - Document ID: 5012 Block:11E Project Glossary (PG) Version Date:
Page 3 This is a dialogue done by Joy Page and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, 1942 in order to reveal the character’s thoughts about another character called Captain Renault.
direct presentation/characterization – the author’s direct descriptions of what a character is like. Contrast with indirect presentation/characterization.
e.g. In the novel called Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving, the author described the old man as“He was a simple, good-natured man; he was more over a kind neighbor and an obedient, henpecked husband.”
dramatic irony –the words and actions of the characters have a different meaning for the reader than they do for the characters which means only the readers “get the point”.
e.g. In the play Romeo and Julietby William Shakespeare, Romeo thinks Juliet is dead and the audience knows she is not. This qualifies because only the audience realized what exactly happened in the story while the character did not.
dynamic character – a major character who encounters conflict and is changed by it/the plot events. Dynamic characters tend to be more fully developed and described thanstaticcharacters. Contrast with static character.
E.g. In the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling, Harry could be considered as a dynamic character because he perceives that he shares some abilities similar to Tom Riddle, who becomes evil Lord Voldemort, and this makes him worried that he might also turn out to be an evil character.
Dumbledore taught Harry the lesson about the importance of the choices one makes. It resolves around his inner conflict, making him a good example of a dynamic character.
