英美文学选读翻译(英语专业自考)第一部分:英国文学第二章新古典主义时期这里我们所称的新古典主义时期是指介于1660年英国斯图亚特王朝复辟与以华滋华斯和科勒律治1798年合作出版的《抒情歌谣集》为创始标志的浪漫主义时期之间的英国文学时代。
英国社会在新古典主义时期充满了动荡与变革,其中1660年英皇查理二世复辟,1665年一场瘟疫,仅在伦敦就夺去了七万人的生命,而伦敦一场火灾摧毁了大片城区,三分之二的市民无家可归,1689年英国发生了"光荣革命",清教徒玛丽公主与她荷兰裔的丈夫奥兰治公爵威廉取代了英皇詹姆士二世登上王位,从此确立了君主立宪制正体。
在这一时期,议会与专制君主不断斗争,而当时凌驾于议会与政府之上的两大党派,托利党与辉格党之间的矛盾也层出不穷,此外不同的宗教教派,辟如罗马天主教廷与英国国教及不信奉国教者,还有统治阶级与劳动人民之间,也都存在着尖锐的冲突。
总之,这一时期是矛盾与价值观分歧的时期。
而18世纪,英国的国力又得到长足发展。
在海外,英国殖民地扩展到北美、印度和西印度群岛,由此产生的不断增长的殖民地财富与贸易为英国开辟了广阔市场,原先那种小规模的家庭手工业生产方式便远远不够了。
市场不仅需要英国产品,更需要英国标准化的产品。
在国内,"圈地运动"使大片土地都集中到越来越少的大地主手中,成千上万的小农场主与雇农都被赶出家园,成为城市里的雇佣工人。
英国工业革命因此得到了雄厚的基础一一本国劳动力从家庭中解放出来,以及从殖民地掠夺来的资本积累。
到18世纪中期,英国已成为世界上第一个最强大的资本主义国家,号称"世界工厂",它的产品涌入全球各地的市场。
随着经济迅速发展,英国资产阶段或曰中产阶级也发展壮大了,成为革命的主力军,多由城市人口组成,比如商人、产业主及贩奴者、殖民者等其它人员。
工业革命的方兴未艾使越来越多的人口加人这一行列。
这个阶级在当时是进步的,是区别于封建贵族的新生力量。

(2) It analyzes what studies chiefly serve for, the different ways adopted by different people to pursue studies, and how studies exert influence over human character.

(2) The most striking feature of Donne’s poetry is his frequent use of conceit. (3) He is a religious poet obsessed with death. (4) The Songs and Sonnets is probably his best-known lyrics.

(2) Love is the basic theme. John Donne holds that the nature of love is the union of soul and body. (1) In A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning John Donne resents too much display of emotion when two lovers part. (2) In this poem we are familiarized with John Donne’s famous conceit: the two lovers (he and his wife) are likened to the two points of a compass. The wife stays at home. She is the fixed foot and the husband “roams” around, but never deviates from the center. (3) In a word, John Donne seems to emphasize the importance of Platonic love. John Milton Paradise Lost (1) Paradise Lost is the greatest of John(1608-1674)(约翰·弥尔顿) (1) As a real revolutionary, a master poet and a great prose writer, Milton holds an important place in the history of English literature.

(2) It is the only generally acknowledged epic in English literature since Beowulf. (3) The story is taken from the Bible. The theme of the epic is man’s disobedience and the loss of Paradise, with its prime cause ---- Satan who rebels against God’s authority and tyranny.Paradise Regained is a long narrative poem telling how man, in the person of Christ, withstands the tempter and is established once more in the divine favor.(1) Samson Agonistes is the most perfect example of the verse drama after the Greek style in English. (2) In this epic Milton presents to us a picture of how Samson, the Israel’s mighty champion, brings destruction down upon the enemy at the cost of his own life. (3) The whole poem strongly suggests Milton’s passionate longing like Samson’s that he too could bring destruction down upon the enemy at the cost of his own life. In this sense, Samson is Milton.John Bunyan (1628-1688)(约翰·班扬)(1) He is a religious novelist whose style was modeled after that of the English Bible. (2) His language is concrete and vivid. (3) His masterpiece, The Pilgrim’s Progress, is the most successful religious allegory. The Pilgrim's Progress 《天路历程》 (1) The Pilgrim’s Progress is John Bunyan’s masterpiece. It is the most successful religious allegory. (2) It tells of the experience of a devout Christian the Pilgrim with a neighbor named Faithful in a world full of vice and wickedness.
