经典英语名篇文章：青春 作者：Samuel Ullman 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 经典英语文章《青春》背后的故事： 太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。 一位资深的日本问题观察家说，在日本实业界，只要有成就者，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。 还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，晚宴之前的谈话，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边激动地说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《青春》。 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆

The Disillusion of American Dream in Death of a Salesman 英语112 冯文娟 11425203 Franklin showed the people by aphorism and even his experiences,the myth that as long as you hard work,it is possible to achieve the American dream of fame and fortune. And his 13 virtues,which brought him great success,has made many ambitious young men regard it as the motto, they are doing Cinderella-like dream, a dream to one day become a prince. Later,American Dream becomes one of the most important themes in American literature,it convinces people that if they work hard, everyone can get rich.However, the harsh reality broke many people's American Dream into pieces, resulting in a series of tragedy.Many writers in American literature attempt to reveal the illusion of American Dream through their works, to explore the conflict between the reality and the American Dream.Among them, Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman reveals the illusory American dream by analyzing the reasons of the character,Willy Loman’s death.It has exposed some of the ills of American society, crushing the myth that "everyone can be successful." When I read the brief introduction of this book,there is a question constantly around me.Why Willy chose to commit suicide finally?But when I finished this book,I find the answer.Perhaps because of the sever reality,Perhaps when hopes dashed , Willy’s heart can no longer afford.Willy Loman is the play's tragic figure. His tragedy is to own his wrong values tightly, and can not face the reality. His whole lifetime is spent in the whole dream , as well died resulting from the wrong dream . As far as I am concerned,Willy represents his class, so he's tragedy is also the unfortune of a group of people who are holding the successful dream.As his name, Lowman ,implies that he belongs to the low-rise character of society.He has nothing.As a salesman,he has no pay, only led commission.He just sells other people's stuff and he convinces that as long as likable, charming,the door of the world is open to him. His life is built on such dreams.He admires David Sigelman very much because David sells products successfully and he does not have to leave the hotel, only a phone call can bring him a successful deal.When he died at the 84-year-old age, there are so many consumers and companions take part in his funeral procession.So Willy always lives in a world of his own imagination,considering the fantasy as the reality,and often boasts. As he said “I’m the New England man.I’m vital in New England.”Regardless of the fact that his products are unwelcomed,he boasts how important he is in New England and how high his sales volume is.Consequently,he falls into his own lie and can never escape. What’s more,to his son,Biff Loman,he also tries his best to instill the thinking:As

1.A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns 1)总分析it is a very popular poem for his beautiful words and sound, using many key poetic devices to describe his eternal and passionate love. He describes his passion and emotion using a lot of imagery, symbolism, rhyme, and repetition which appeals to the senses including the heart 2)Theme: The speaker loves the young lady beyond measure through vivid similes and hyperbolic comparisons.Love:—express speaker's powerful, undying love-is lasting,real,awesomely awesome. Nature: Rocks, seas, sand, roses—many nature.Time: "A Red, Red Rose" has time on its side. 3)Structure: a)Stanza1: compare his sweet heart as a red rose and sweet music.b)Stanza2-3 : swear that he will love her for ever, and assure that he will never change his heart.c)Stanza4: assure his lover that he will leave for a short time but will come back no matter how far it is. 4)Form: Scottish Folklore, short lines, strong rhythm. The first and third lines have 8 syllables and the second and fourth lines have 6 syllable in the first two stanzas and 7 syllables in the second two stanzas. Rhyming abab. Use simile to express the strong affection which can not be controlled. And use repetition to intensify his emotion. 5)Meter:This one's a classic, so it's no wonder it uses some of the most classic forms in all of poetry and music. "A Red, Red Rose" is written partly in ballad meter (the first eight lines) and partly in common meter (the last eight lines). It alternates between iambic tetrameter in the odd-numbered lines and iambic trimeter in the even-numbered ones. A line of iambic tetrameter consists of four (tetra-) iambs, a foot that contains an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Line 5 is a great example: As fair art thou, my bonn-ie lass. Iambic trimeter, as you might have already guessed, is the same as iambic tetrameter, except there are three (tri-) iambs instead of four, as in line 2: That's new-ly sprung in June. But line 10, It has seven syllables, when it should have six. Let's assume the line's first foot is not an iamb but an anapest. If we scan the line in the following way, we have a line of neat, flowing trimeter: And the rocks melt wi' the sun. 2.I Wondered Lonely as A Cloud William Wordsworth 1)Theme:N ature's beauty uplifts the human spirit. Lines 15, 23, and 24 specifically refer to this theme;P eople sometimes fail to appreciate nature's wonders as they go about their daily routines. Lines 17 and 18 suggest this theme;N ature thrives unattended. The daffodils proliferate in splendor along the shore of the lake without the need for human attention. 2)Genre：Lyric poem 3)Rhyme Skill:ababcc, efefgg, hihikk, lmlmnn Rhetoric(修辞）:Simile明喻，personification拟人，hyperbole夸张，alliteration头韵。 4)Structure:Meter of the poem is in Iambic Tetrameter:each lines has four iambs(unaccented syllable/accented syllable)four stanzas, each including 6 lines:Summary, Stanza1:Wandering like a cloud, the speaker happens upon daffodils fluttering in a breeze on the shore of a lake, beneath trees. Daffodils are plants in the lily family with yellow flowers and a crown shaped like a trumpet. Click here to see images of daffodils.Summary, Stanza 2The daffodils stretch all along the shore. Because there are so many of them, they remind the speaker of the Milky Way, the galaxy that scientists say contains about one trillion stars, including the sun. The speaker humanizes the daffodils when he says they are engaging in a dance. Summary, Stanza 3 In their gleeful fluttering and dancing, the daffodils outdo the rippling waves of the lake. But the poet does not at this moment fully appreciate the happy sight before him. In the last line of the stanza, Wordsworth uses anastrophe, writing the show to me had brought instead of the show brought to me. Anastrophe is an inversion of the normal word order. Summary, Stanza 4 Not until the poet later
