高级英语第一册第十课震撼世界的审判Tenth lessonsThe Trial That Rocked the WorldJohnIn the hot days of 1925 and July, when I was seated in the packed courtroom, a buzz ran in the crowd. My defence is a famous criminal lawyer Clarence Darrow?. Served as prosecutor is eloquent orator William? Jennings? Blaine, he has three times by the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but also led me to the trial of the Christian fundamentalist movement leaders.A few weeks ago, I was just an unknown to the public in Tennessee mountain town school teacher in Dayton, and now I have become a great trial of the parties. Seated in court to testify for me with the Harvard University kodri? Led by Professor Mather, a dozen prestigious professors and scientists. There are more than 100 journalists, and even radio announcer, they have epoch-making to broadcast a jury trial. As we wait for the court when Darrow concern around my shoulder to comfort: "don't worry, son, we will give them a severe look."I just came to Dayton school as a natural science teacher and football coach soon, this case will suddenly come to my head. For years, a clash has been brewing between fundamentalists and the modernist. Fundamentalists adhered to a literal interpretation of the "Old Testament", and modernist Charles? Darwin's theory of evolution -- that all animal life, includingmonkeys and men are from the same ancestors evolved.Fundamentalist forces were strong in Tennessee, and the state legislature recently passed a law forbidding the public to teach "any theory that denies biblical creationism."." The new law is directed at Darwin's theory of evolution. There was a man named George? Pull Apulia engineer because of opposition to the regulations and the local people often debate. There is a debate, said that anyone who wants to pull the Puglia, teach biology, can not speak of evolution. Because I was teaching biology, so they called me to testify."La Puglia is right," I say to them."Then you're breaking the law," one of them said."All the other teachers are breaking the law, too," I replied. "In Hunter's biological basis, we talked about evolution. That's the textbook we use."So, pull a proposal. "Let's deliver the matter to the court," he said. "To see if it's legal."."When I was formally indicted in May 7th, no one had expected me to have imagined that my case would become so great that it would become one of the most famous trial cases in the history of the United states. The American Civil Liberties Union announces that, if necessary, the Federation will submit my case to the United States Supreme Court, "to ensure that teachers are not sent to prison for teaching truth."." Then, Blaine volunteered to assist the state government inprosecuting me.The famous lawyer Clarence Darrow? Immediately offered to defend me. Ironically, I didn't know Daro before the trial, but I met Blaine, who was speaking at school when I was in college.I admire him, though I don't agree with him.By the time the trial began in July 10th, we had a circus like atmosphere in the small town of one thousand and five hundred people. Flags were hung from buildings on both sides of the main street. On the streets around the court's three story red brick house, there were suddenly many rickety vendors shelves, selling hot dogs, religious books and watermelons. Evangelists also set up tents in the streets and preached sermons to passers-by. Nearby mountain dwellers, most of them fundamentalists, rushed to the town to cheer Blaine on against foreign infidels". Among them were John Butler who drafted the anti evolution law. Butler is a forty-nine year old farmer, the election had never been out of his native county.The presiding judge named John? Raulston, a ruddy man. "I'm just a plain mountain judge," he said, with a strong accent." Blaine looked old and clumsy, potbellied. He has 185 sons, a lawyer and a young and promising attorney general, Tom,, to help him with the prosecution. Mr. Stewart, the young attorney general of the state of Tennessee. I counsel in addition to savvy sixty-eight year old Darrow, and handsome, charismaticforty-three year old Dadelei? And Malone feld? Knowledge, the ornamental and the combined plain properties of law, especially with Arthur? Gafeierde Hess?. In a religion played a key role in the trial, Darrow was an agnostic, Malone was a Catholic,and Hays a jew. My father came specially from Kentucky to accompany me to face the trial.The judge invited a local priest to preside over the prayer service, and then the trial began. Of the twelve members of the jury, three did not read any book other than the Bible, and one could not read at all. No wonder my father angrily said: "really fucking shit jury!"Fulfills the provisions of the legal proceedings, Darrow got up to speak. "My friend Mr. attorney general told us that John? Our scopes knows why he was brought to court," Darrow drawled. "I also know why he was brought to court. That is because ignorance and prejudice are rampant, and the two are combined to form a powerful force."In the hot oven like Darrow like court pacing measured steps. "The teacher is attacked today," he continued. "Tomorrow it will be magazines, books and newspapers.". Before long, the society will is a kind of person and human enemies, different religious sects and the enemies of the situation, until we are marching backwards to the glorious age of the sixteenth Century, then if anyone dares to bring wisdom, knowledge and culture, will be bigots lit the pyre burned alive."His voice just fell, he heard a woman whispered loudly: "damn the heathen!"Second days, the prosecution began to summon witnesses to testify in court. My two students, who shyly giggled at me, testified to the court that I had told them about evolution,but added that they were not poisoned. A clever fourteen year old boy named Howard Morgan testified that I told them that humans were mammals like cows, horses, dogs and cats."He didn't say a cat was the same as a man?" Darrow asked."No, sir," said the child. "He said that people are capable of thinking." "This is not afraid of it," Darrow snorted.After the testimony of the witness, Blaine stood up to the jury. The question is simple, "he said." Christians believe that man comes from the sky, and evolutionism thinks that man must come from the ground." The spectators could not help but giggle, Blaine is getting more and more vigorously, his hand waving a biology textbook, the side of the mouth he denounced the scientists who had come to Dayton as my witness."The Bible", "his sonorous voice is" raise a hue and cry from scholars and experts, not by those who came all the way to witness out of the court. These experts came here for the purpose of advocating the theory of evolution is to prove that human ancestors from the jungle and God in secret, according to the image of the creation of human and arranged into the world view, is run parallel."The end of his speech, chin up, with shining eyes, the audience immediately broke out in cheers applause and shouts "Amen". But there seems to be something missing. The fiery fervor that Blaine had shown in the past when he swept through politics as a prairie fire has disappeared. The audience seemed to feel that their champion can not fully play its eloquence those hereticsa Petals drop and waters flow.Dadelei? How? Malone jumped up against Blaine. "Blaine is not the only person qualified to defend the Bible," he said. "In our country, there are people who devote all their lives to God and religion.". Mr. Blaine, however, enthusiastically devoted most of his life to politics." Blaine took a sip from the cup, and Malone's tone of voice grew higher and higher. He called for academic freedom and accused Blaine of deliberately stirring up a desperate duel between science and religion."No man has ever been able to fight the truth," he roared. "The truth is always winner - we are not afraid of that.". Truth needs no Mr Blaine. Truth is eternal, immortal, and does not have to rely on human strength to preserve it!"When Malone finished, there was a silence on the field, but then the court broke into a mighty storm of applause. More than just as Blaine's applause. However, although the game with Blaine Malone in the victory, the scientists decided not to judge here to testify for the defence.During the recess,We found Dayton town streets and lanes everywhere was crowded with strangers, in every corner there are some hawkers selling goods. A shop sign says: Darwin: Yes - just inside. This is little Darwin's clothing store. And a contractor rented a shop window to show an ape. Some people spend money to see the ape and wonder if they may have any origins."The poor brute with his hands over his eyes, curled up in a corner," a reporter wrote, "that is really the homologous."H L?. Mencken wearing shorts, while blowing fan, and write some spicy irony telecommunications presentation. Because of what he called "hillbilly" in the local residents, so people talk to him out of town. The twenty-two day to send a telegraph operator one hundred and sixty-five thousand word report the trial message.Because of the heat and the fear that the old court floor would collapse because of the weight of the crowd, the trial went on under the maple tree in the open. Come to view the trial of more than 2000 people, some of them sat down on a wooden bench, or squatting on the grass, some lying in a parked car on the roof, others from the window gawked looked. Then the climax of the trial arrived. Due to the limitations of the anti evolution law, the prosecution had to adhere to the position that the Bible must be interpreted literally. At this time, Darrow sprang his trump card to call Blaine as a witness for the defence. The judge was all surprised. "We want him as a witness because he is the" Bible "experts," Darrow said. As an authority on Confucian classics, his reputation is universally acknowledged."Blaine was suspicious, I do not know that the gourd in Darrow full of craft and cunning to sell what medicine, but he could not accept the challenge. For years he has been in the interpretation of "the Bible", and also worked on the "Bible" books. Even before the anti evolution laws were passed, he launched an anti Darwinian campaign in Tennessee. At this time, I saw him holding a resolute courageous is like a palm leaf fan,take it as a tuidi sword like, with vigorous strides went to witness.In the calm tone Taowen Darrow, he admitted that his "Bible" of the word, the onlookers of his passionate answer from time to time and with a warm, shouting "amen.Darrow opened the "Genesis" read: "the night all the morning were the first day." Next he asked Blaine if he believed that the sun was created in fourth days, and Blaine answered that he believed."How could there be no sun before the morning and evening?" asked darrow.Blaine mopped his bald dome in silence. Laughter broke out in the crowd, and even some devout Christians laughed. Darrow twirled his glasses, while continuing to ask questions. He asked if Blaine believed the story of Eve every word is true, Blaine replied in the affirmative."Then you have to believe that God punished the serpent will let all the snakes from the ever creeping story is true?""I believe it to be true.".""Well, then you know how the snake went before that?"The audience of the trial laughed loudly. Blaine was livid with anger and fury his voice rose, holding a fan kept shaking."Your honor," he said. "I'm going to answer all of Mr. Daro's questions at once. I want the world to know that the unbelieving man is using the courts of Tennessee to slander god......""I disagree with this statement," Darrow shouted. "I'm just testing your foolish ideas. No Christian in the world would believe your thoughts."."The judge gavel sounded stopped noise, immediately adjourned the retrial.Blaine stood there all alone. When the audience have pushed past him with Romania shake hands when my heart is sad for the heroes of the past.At noon on the second day, the jury was ordered to decide on the case. The jurymen retired to a corner of the lawn, whispered for just nine minutes, the verdict was guilty. I was fined $one hundred and paid for the lawsuit.Dadelei? How? Malone said the trial result is a "victory of the battle for me". Several southern newspapers, calling their loyalty to the hero who had lost their former glory, called the trial "Blaine's victory" and cheered it. Blaine I was sad and exhausted, after the trial had died in Dayton two days.The school asked me to go back to my former teaching position, but I declined. Several professors who have come to testify for me have secured me a scholarship to University of Chicago, so that I can continue my studies in science. Later, I became a geologist with an oil company.Not long ago, I in the trial thirty-seven years after the first return to dayton. In my eyes, the town is still in sight, but there is just one more William Jennings Blaine University, situated on a small hillside overlooking the valley below.There are a few other changes. Evolution has been taught in Tennessee, although the law that convicted me has not been repealed. By Clarence Darrow and Dadelei feld Malone set off in the small town of Dayton Court on that debate is like a storm wind through the schools and the legislature of the United States, followed by new thoughts and academic freedom in growing the.。
第十课震撼世界的审判约翰?司科普斯在一九二五年七月的那个酷热日子里,当我在挤得水泄不通的法庭里就位时,人群中响起一阵嘁嘁喳喳的议论声。
我的辩护人是著名刑事辩护律师克拉伦斯?达罗。
担任主控官的则是能说会道的演说家威廉?詹宁斯?布莱恩,他曾三次被民主党提名为美国总统候选人,而且还是导致我这次受审的基督教原教旨主义运动的领导人。
几个星期之前,我还只是田纳西州山区小镇戴顿的一名默默无闻的中学教员,而现在我却成了一次举世瞩目的庭审活动的当事人。
在法庭就座为我作证的有以哈佛大学的科特里?马瑟教授为首的十几位有名望的教授和科学家。
到场的还有一百多名新闻记者,甚至还有一些广播电台的播音员,他们也要破天荒地播放一次庭审实况。
就在我们静候着法庭开审的当儿,达罗关切地搂住我的肩膀低声安慰道:“别担心,孩子,我们会给他们点厉害瞧瞧。
”我刚到戴顿中学任自然科学教员兼足球教练不久,这件案子就突然降临到我的头上。
若干年来,原教旨主义者和现代主义者之间就一直在酝酿着一场冲突。
原教旨主义者坚持严格按照字面意义去理解《旧约全书》,而现代主义者则接受查尔斯?达尔文的进化论——认为一切动物,包括猿和人,都是由同一个祖先进化而来的。
在田纳西州,原教旨主义势力很强,州立法机构最近还通过了一项法令,禁止公开讲授“任何否定《圣经》上宣讲的创世说的理论。
”这项新法规的矛头直接指向了达尔文的进化论。
有位名叫乔治?拉普利亚的工程师因反对这项法规常和当地人进行辩论。
有一次辩论中,拉普利亚说,任何人要讲授生物学,就不能不讲进化论。
因为我就是讲授生物学的,所以他们便把我叫去作证。
“拉普利亚是对的,”我对他们说。
“那么说,你在触犯法律,”他们中的一位说。
“所有其他的教师也都在触犯法律,”我回答说。
“亨特所著的《生物学基础》中就讲到了进化论,那是我们使用的教科书。
”于是拉普利亚提出一个建议。
“让我们将此事交付法庭判决,”他说,“以检验其是否合法。
”当我于五月七日被正式起诉时,谁也不曾料到,我本人更没有料到我的这件案子竟会越闹越大,以至成为美国历史上最著名的庭审案例之一。
Unit10震撼世界的审判达罗在热得像烘箱似的法庭里来回踱着方步。
“今天受攻击的是教师,”他接着说道,“明天就会轮到杂志、书籍和报纸。
要不了多久,社会上便会是一种人与人为仇,教派与教派为敌的局面,直到我们的社会大踏步地退回到十六世纪那光辉的年代,那时如果有谁胆敢给人类带来智慧、知识和文化,就会被那些愚昧的偏执狂们点燃柴堆活活烧死。
”“《圣经》,”他用洪亮的嗓音大喊大叫道,“是不会被那些千里迢迢赶来作证的学者专家们赶出这个法庭的。
这些专家们来到这里的目的是想证明主张人类祖先来自丛林的进化论和上帝按照天机,依其形象创造人类并安排到这个世界上来的看法,是并行不悖的。
”由克拉伦斯•达罗和达德雷•费尔德•马隆在戴顿镇的小小法庭上掀起的那些辩论风暴犹如一股清风吹遍了美国的学校和立法机关,随之而来的是日渐增长的思想自由和学术自由的新气象。
Unit 13大不列颠望洋兴叹然而,如今英国的这一至关重要的产业正面临着空前严重的危机。
几乎在世界上所有的主要航海线上,英国商业船队都有被强劲的外国竞争对手挤出去的危险。
船主们担心这些大臣优先考虑的是拯救英国的奄奄一息的造船厂,而不是如何拯救英国的商船队。
英国的造船厂目前正为波兰制造着24艘轮船。
波兰人之所以倾向于英国是因为受到英国为他们提供2 800万英镑的资助款这一厚赠以及英国造船商将负责为他们筹集所有的贷款这一承诺的引诱。
所以,当我国商船队正受到共产党国家商船的威胁的同时,我们的政府却在用英国纳税人的钱来帮助他们降低造船成本。
而那些规模较小的海运公司却没有足够的财力来从事多样化经营,它们面临着破产的命运。
一旦这些海运公司破产,英国有限的几个值得保留的传统产业的一大部分也会随之消亡。
Unit3有人举出了一个人所共知,但仍值得提出来发人深思的例子。
我们谈到饭桌上的肉食时用法语词,而谈到提供这些肉食的牲畜时则用盎格鲁一撒克逊词。
猪圈里的活猪叫pig,饭桌上吃的猪肉便成了pork(来自法语pore);地里放牧着的牛叫cattle,席上吃的牛肉则叫beef(来自法语boeuf);Chicken用作肉食时变成poultry(来自法语poulet);calf加工成肉则变成veal(来自法语vcau)。

二语习得与课程教学论本栏目责任编辑:唐一东《高级英语》课堂教学中思政教育的融合——以“震撼世界的审判”一文为例祝敏(浙江科技学院外国语学院,浙江杭州310023)摘要:以《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》中对提高学生人文素质所做的具体要求为切入点,融入社会主义核心价值观德育元素的教育,以《高级英语》第一册第四单元的课文“震撼世界的审判”为例,展示专业教学“课程思政”的具体步骤和内容。
这种“润物细无声”的隐性思政教育协同高校大学生思政课上的显性思政教育将最大限度地发挥高校教育所应具备的全方位德育“大熔炉”的教育合力作用。
关键词:课堂教学;思政教育;融合中图分类号:G642文献标识码:A文章编号:1009-5039(2019)09-0011-021引言2016年12月7日至8日,习近平在全国高校思想政治工作会议中指出:“要用好课堂教学这个主渠道,思想政治理论课要坚持在改进中加强,提升思想政治教育亲和力和针对性,满足学生成长发展需求和期待,其他各门课都要守好一段渠、种好责任田,使各类课程与思想政治理论课同向同行,形成协同效应。
”[1]在习总书记的这一号召下,“课程思政”研究在学界兴起。
所谓“课程思政”,其基本含义是:大学所有课程都具有传授知识培养能力及思想政治教育双重功能,承载着培养大学生世界观、人生观、价值观的作用。
[2]高校大学生思想政治教育将从“思政课程”的专属任务转变为所有课程的共同任务,它将摆脱“孤岛”困境,不再与通识教育和专业教学割裂,它将成为全部教师参与其中,且渗透于全部课程的思政教育体系。
2《高级英语》和思政教育的融合《高级英语》是英语语言文学专业高年级阶段的主干课程,它既是低年级《基础英语》课程的延续,又是联系高年级诸多课程如《英美文学》《语言学》《翻译理论与实践》的纽带,其重要性可见一斑。
根据《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》,《高级英语》课程应“通过阅读和分析内容广泛的材料,包括涉及政治、经济、社会、语言、文学、教育、哲学等方面的名家作品,扩大学生知识面,加深学生对社会和人生的理解,培养学生对名篇的分析和欣赏能力、逻辑思维能力与独立思考能力,巩固和提高学生的英语语言技能。

他是田纳西州代顿的一名老师,24岁. 1925年5月25号被告违反田纳西州的《布特勒法》,禁止在田纳西州学校教授进化论。
作为当年那次审判的当事人,他写的本文以纪念当年的审判经过。
由于神创论的支持者把进化论歪曲简化成“人是猴子变来的”,这次审判又被人们称为“猴子审判”。
这次震惊世界的猴子审判至今在美国家喻户晓,是名副其实的“世纪审判”。
在20世纪0年代,它被编成了百老汇戏剧《承受清风》(Inherit the Wind ,语出《圣经》:“扰害己家的,必承受清风。
愚昧人必作慧心人的仆人。
”),马上被视为经典之作。
1960年被编成电影,获得四项奥斯卡提名。
