完整英文版《第二性》The-Second-SexThe Second Sexby Simone de Beauvoir (1949)Book One: Facts and Myths, Part I: DestinyChapter 1, The Data of BiologyWOMAN? Very simple, say the fanciers of simple formulas: she is a womb, an ovary; she is a female –this word is sufficient to define her. In the mouth of a man the epithet female has the sound of an insult, yet he is not ashamed of his animal nature; on the contrary, he is proud if someone says of him: ‘He is a male!’ The term ‘female’ is derogatory not because it emphasises woman’s ani mality, but because it imprisons her in her sex; and if this sex seems to man to be contemptible and inimical even in harmless dumb animals, it is evidently because of the uneasy hostility stirred up in him by woman. Nevertheless he wishes to find in biology a justification for this sentiment. The word female brings up in his mind a saraband of imagery –a vast, round ovum engulfs and castrates the agile spermatozoan; the monstrous and swollen termite queen rules over the enslaved males; the female praying mantis and the spider, satiated with love, crush and devour their partners; the bitch in heat runs through the alleys, trailing behind her a wake of depraved odours; the she-monkey presents posterior immodestly and then steals away with hypocritical coquetry; and the most superb wild beasts –the tigress, the lioness, the panther – bed down slavishly under the imperial embrace of the male. Females sluggish, eager, artful, stupid, callous, lustful, ferocious, abased – man projects them all at once upon woman. And the fact is that she is a female. But if we are willing to stop thinking in platitudes, two questions areimmediately posed: what does the female denote in the animal kingdom? And what particular kind of female is manifest in woman?Males and females are two types of individuals which are differentiated within a species for the function of reproduction; they can be defined only correlatively. But first it must be noted that even the division of a species into two sexes is not always clear-cut.In nature it is not universally manifested. To speak only of animals, it is well known that among the microscopic one-celled forms –infusoria, amoebae, sporozoans, and the like –multiplication is fundamentally distinct from sexuality. Each cell divides and subdivides by itself. In many-celled animals or metazoans reproduction may take place asexually, either by schizogenesis –that is, by fission or cutting into two or more parts which become new individuals – or by blastogenesis – that is, by buds that separate and form new individuals. The phenomena of budding observed in the fresh-water hydra and other coelenterates, in sponges, worms, and tunicates, are well-known examples. In cases of parthenogenesis the egg of the virgin female develops into an embryo without fertilisation by the male, which thus may play no role at all. In the honey-bee copulation takes place, but the eggs may or may not be fertilised at the time of laying. The unfertilised eggs undergo development and produce the drones (males); in the aphids males are absent during a series of generations in which the eggs are unfertilised and produce females. Parthenogenesis has been induced artificially in the sea urchin, the starfish, the frog, and other species. Among the one-celled animals (Protozoa), however, two cells may fuse, forming whatis called a zygote; and in the honey-bee fertilisation is necessary if the eggs are to produce females. In the aphids both males and females appear in the autumn, and the fertilised eggs then produced are adapted for over-wintering.Certain biologists in the past concluded from these facts that even in species capable of asexual propagation occasional fertilisation is necessary to renew the vigour of the race –to accomplish ‘rejuvenation’ through the mixing of her editary material from two individuals. On this hypothesis sexuality might well appear to be an indispensable function in the most complex forms of life; only the lower organisms could multiply without sexuality, and even here vitality would after a time become exhausted. But today this hypothesis is largely abandoned; research has proved that under suitable conditions asexual multiplication can go on indefinitely without noticeable degeneration, a fact that is especially striking in the bacteria and Protozoa. More and more numerous and daring experiments in parthenogenesis are being performed, and in many species the male appears to be fundamentally unnecessary. Besides, if the value of intercellular exchange were demonstrated, that value would seem to stand as a sheer, unexplained fact. Biology certainly demonstrates the existence of sexual differentiation, but from the point of view of any end to be attained the science could not infer such differentiation from the structure of the cell, nor from the laws of cellular multiplication, nor from any basic phenomenon.The production of two types of gametes, the sperm and the egg, does not necessarily imply the existence of two distinct sexes; as a matter of fact, egg and sperm –two highly differentiated types of reproductive cells –may both beproduced by the same individual. This occurs in normally hermaphroditic species, which are common among plants and are also to be found among the lower animals, such as annelid worms and molluscs. In them reproduction may be accomplished through self-fertilisation or, more commonly, cross-fertilisation. Here again certain biologists have attempted to account for the existing state of affairs. Some hold that the separation of the gonads (ovaries and testes) in two distinct individuals represents an evolutionary advance over hermaphroditism; others on the contrary regard the separate condition as primitive, and believe that hermaphroditism represents a degenerate state. These notions regarding the superiority of one system or the other imply the most debatable evolutionary theorising. All that we can say for sure is that these two modes of reproduction coexist in nature, that they both succeed in accomplishing the survival of the species concerned, and that the differentiation of the gametes, like that of the organisms producing them, appears to be accidental. It would seem, then, that the division of a species into male and female individuals is simply an irreducible fact of observation.In most philosophies this fact has been taken for granted without pretence of explanation. According to the Platonic myth, there were at the beginning men, women, and hermaphrodites. Each individual had two faces, four arms, four legs, and two conjoined bodies. At a certain time they were split in two, and ever since each half seeks to rejoin its corresponding half. Later the gods decreed that new human beings should be created through the coupling of dissimilar halves. But it is only love that this story is intended to explain; division into sexes is assumed at the outset. Nor does。

《小王子》Chapter1[第一章]Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval forest.it was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal.Here is a copy of the drawing:我六岁那年,有一次,在一本书里看见一幅很棒的图画,那本书叫《亲身经历的故事》,写原始森林。
那幅图画上,一条大蟒蛇正在吞吃一头猛兽。
我把它描了下来。
In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.”书里写着:“大蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下,嚼都不嚼。
然后,它动弹不了,它得睡上整整六个月,才能消化肚子里的东西。
”I pondered(沉思)deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a coloured pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:对原始森林的探险,我当时想得很多。
于是,我也用一支彩色铅笔,画出了我的第一张画。
画作第1号。
就像这样:I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.我把我的杰作拿给大人们看,问他们:“我的画是不是让你们很害怕?”But they answered: “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”他们回答:“一顶帽子有什么好怕的?”My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:可我画的不是帽子呀。

简爱英文版第一章The Reading of Jane Eyre: An Interpretation of the First Chapter1.Background Introduction'Jane Eyre' is a classic work of English literature written by Charlotte Brontë. It was first published in 1847 under the pen name 'Currer Bell', one of three female writers who used male pen names at that time in order to circumvent the social constraints of Victorian England. The novel, set in the 19th century, tells the story of Jane Eyre, an orphaned girl who struggles through difficult times and eventually finds love and happiness. 'Jane Eyre' is considered a classic of English literature, recognized for its powerful narrative, complex characters, and thematic explorations of gender, class, and religion.2.Content Overview of the First ChapterThe first chapter of 'Jane Eyre' opens with a vivid description of Thornfield Hall, a lonely mansion in the English countryside. It is evening, and the reader is introduced to Jane Eyre, a thoughtful and self-reliant young girl. She stands at the gate of the Hall, watching a group of Gytrash, a legendary creature that appears in Yorkshire folklore as a fearsome dog or horse. This sets the scene for Jane's characterization as a strong-willed and independent-minded person, unafraid of facing challenges.3.Theme and MeaningThe theme of this chapter is the exploration of female agency and autonomy. Through Jane's reaction to her environment and her resolute refusal to fear the Gytrash, Brontësuggests that women have the potential to face and overcome adversity. This theme continues throughout the novel as Jane faces difficulties and 力争女主的地位 opportunities. Additionally, this chapter introduces the idea of female independence and self-reliance, which will become recurring themes throughout the novel.4.English Expression and Rhetorical DevicesCharlotte Brontë's powerful writing style utilizes a range of English expressions and rhetorical devices. In the first chapter, Brontë uses metaphors and personification to describe Jane's courage and resolve. For example, she compares Jane to a "tightly-compressed spring" that is "strained to the utmost tension" (Brontë3), suggesting Jane's resilience and energy. Personification is seen in Brontë's description of Thornfield Hall as a "frowning giant" (Brontë 3), which gives the mansion a sense of power and intimidation.5.Reading Difficulties and SolutionsOne possible difficulty readers may encounter in this chapter is the use of archaic language and Victorian cultural references. However, by placing yourselfin the context of 19th-century England and familiarizing yourself with the cultural norms and language usage, you can better understand the novel's characters and themes. Another challenge could be Brontë's poetic language and imagery, which can be dense and layered. Close reading and rereading passages with an eye for detail can help unpack these layers.6.Reflection and InsightReading the first chapter of 'Jane Eyre' has provided me with a deeper understanding of Charlotte Brontë's themes and style. The exploration of female agency and autonomy has resonated with me personally, as it encourages me to embody a similar spirit in my own life. Additionally, Brontë's use of language and imagery has shown me how powerful words can be in evoking emotion and creating vivid pictures in the reader's mind. I have also gained a new appreciation for English literature after understanding more about the cultural and historical context of 'Jane Eyre'.总的来说,《简爱》第一章以其丰富的情感、复杂的角色和生动的描绘吸引了读者的注意力。
