Feminist Formations, 2016, 1(5), 62-76.原文The research on female image in British and American literatureAllison DAbstractBritish and American modern literary works created many images of women, in America and Britain in the gallery of modern literature and art, become the one unique. These female characters in literary works have different background and experience of the writer, present a different spirit and personality characteristics. At the same time, on each of the characters, also with the cultural background of the era and social customs. Through reading the female image of modern British and American literature, for us to better understand that an era and the modern American and British women is of great significance. Modern British and American literary works created a large female image give time characteristics, unique as a female image of the period.Keywords: Modern times; British and American literature; Female image1 The evolution of the female imageWe can trace the origin of the earliest women's literature image back to ancient Greek and Roman literature, then, have a medieval knight love, from the proud lady to up-to-datedness or oppression of women, the pursuit of individuality liberation from the Renaissance to the romantic period new female independent personality, the pursuit of equality, to the period of realism emphasizes self-awareness of women, the whole is also a history of women's development and growth. In these literary works, with the development of the society and ideological progress, female image more and more rich, also more and more independent personality. Interpretation of women in literary history, it is in a better understanding of the female's woes, history of the growth and maturity.1.1 The renaissance periodThe Renaissance is British and American literature history a great liberation ofhuman thought. During this period, people's self-consciousness awakening, especially women, thousands of years in the discipline of the shackles of feudal ideas, finally got a personality the great liberation of thought. Therefore, women in this period, simple is good, loyal to love, has strong against tradition, theological ideology, and even many senators, miss also brave enough to break the bondage of family to pursue their own ideal love.The feminine features of this period, has a good performance in Shakespeare's works. In Shakespeare's works, his basic shape on the front of the image of women is kind, sincere, and beautiful and other characteristics, in order to love, can give up everything, boldly with social, family resistance. The most typical example is for the people of the world are familiar with "Romeo and Juliet”. In order to pursue their own love, Juliet can put your own family feuds aside, can give up his life for his lover. On Juliet, reflected the typical European Renaissance period women pursuit of freedom of marriage the personality characteristics of love, so much so that many years later, when Juliet's image, is still standing in the world as another name for young men and women love literature and art gallery. Women in this period, however, are not pure, beautiful, such as Juliet loyalty to the new woman of love. As a typical form of opposite, the Renaissance liberated humanity, also make some people go to the extreme desire to indulge. Performance in Shakespeare's works, which is the lady Macbeth, Macbeth general in King Lear. These women have high social status and great freedom, their behavior rather than the pursuit of free love, but a kind of human nature, even under the huge ambition, under the drive of the greedy desire, they will be very ugly in human nature and immortality. They use their own rights and status, to indulge oneself follow one's inclination sly, to drown in the sea of desire, cannot extricate oneself, also do not want to extricate themselves.1.2 The romantic periodExperienced a Renaissance humanism thought liberation, to enter at the end of the 18th century early 19th century, the bourgeoisie to rise on the European continent, profoundly affected the change of humanistic thought. The emergence of a large number of independent women writers, add a series of rich image three-dimensionalliterature for literature of women. Among them, the most typical is the British writer Jane Austen; her most famous women pursue independent writing consciousness, the novel "pride and prejudice", successfully recorded at the time the humanities state of female independent self-esteem, learn about life planning thought, the condition of existence.Jane Austen's pride and prejudice, the middle-class women's image on behalf of Elizabeth. The heroine Elizabeth was born in the town of the landlord class society, miss family not very rich, but also the general working people family appears high. Due to birth class surfaces, her mother and sister to hold the class of typical chasing vanity mentality. Elizabeth grew up under such environment, the pursuit of the arrogant rich Darcy, showed clearly alienation. And Elizabeth image contrast, Elizabeth's sister and mother of rich kids Darcy are very warm. And Elizabeth for Darcy arrogance he filled with prejudice. Later, with the help of the Darcy, Elizabeth through the test of time, for their own like of the person as well as Darcy changed consistently arrogance, and two people finally happy marriage. In the novel of Jane Austen, shaped the life Elizabeth successfully in bourgeois emergence period of female image, and Elizabeth, the female image has strong representative. On her body, vividly reflects the independence of the values, marriage, they opposed to money matter and concluded the marriage relationship, but they also objected to a marriage without material foundation. It shows the social ideology when the rise of the bourgeoisie, has strong characteristics of pragmatism. "Pride and prejudice" of the heroine Elizabeth has marriage independent consciousness, she opposed marriage, love based marriage mansion, and is always stressed the importance of marriage for women. In marriage relationship, Elizabeth has always insisted on his independence, women's status of self-esteem; require equality in marriage love relationship. But, we can also see, Elizabeth is still not women's economic independence, in the love based marriage, Elizabeth on the economy is in the attachment. And economic independence or not, it will directly affect the status of women in the social family.1.3 The realism periodThe 18th and 19th century British and American society, along with the growingstrength of the bourgeoisie, the change of the social and political power, also affects the deep development of the humanities. Among them, the American and British to the prosperity of historical materialism, dialectics, has a great influence for literature. Women in this period, under the impetus of the bourgeois ideology, also have a strong sense of self, they from European Renaissance period of the "people" to the enlightenment of "female", from the power of the spirit world as the essence of the women, have a qualitative leap. Strong times breath infection the ideology of the female, they went through the agonies of ideological fission, finally new women appeared as an independent self-esteem, self-improvement and self-reliance in the history of Britain and the United States.Changes of The Times, with the changes is in the social consciousness of women is bound to affect the literary works of the change of aesthetic values. Among them, the women image to represent the period characteristic of the most typical literature is charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre was born is quite low, and looks ordinary, there is no general literature in the literary beauty of external image. She is just a humble weak without any external characteristics of ordinary woman. But that is how it is, a woman looks no survival advantage, on the way to grow on your own, but always adhere to the clear goal in life. Her self-respect, independence, in the face is stronger than his many Mr. Rochester; she also displays a strong independence. She never thought of marriage by relying on men to change their living conditions. In love with Rochester, Jane Eyre, maintained distinct independence from beginning to end, from the personality independence to economic independence, she bear with their weak life bravely to bear all, maintained his humble but independent self-esteem, it is in this strong sense of independent self-esteem, Jane Eyre become the early nineteenth century at the end of the eighteenth century realism, the female image in literary works.2 Female image shaping in British and American literatureAnalysis of English and American literature works of the humanities image creation, through modern literary works of British and American women's image comparison, we to more deeply understand the modern British and American femaleimage in literary works.2.1 Women appearance shapeBecause of the influence of the traditional history and culture, British and American cultural environment, aesthetic interest has a big difference. Therefore, characters reflected in literary works, the British and American literature and art aesthetics focus on simulations of the external form and representation for something, so characters in the works of British and American literature appearance description also focus on the description of its external appearance. Such as Dumas la dame aux camellias, for appearance, La Travolta is specific to her eyes. The nose did very figurative description form appearance, and so on. Traditional aesthetic imagery in Anglo-American culture, shaping the characters, the focus is on "and" external characters, therefore, in shaping the character image, is focused more on details of the characters.2.2 Women image language differencesExperienced a Renaissance, enlightenment individuality liberation thoughts flushing of British and American women, had a bold personality and emotional expression, independent directness and so on the personality characteristics of directly, therefore, manifested in literary works, is more than women in the form of opera direct displays of emotion, the inner world. The traditional Oriental culture has always been Investigate implicative. Therefore, performance in the literature on the characterization of how much is the emotional expression of the characters and inner monologue by euphemism scene foil, such as environment description way to express.3 ConclusionsTo sum up, through the female images in the modern American and British and American literature works reading in depth, we more deeply feel the Anglo-American cultural traditions, for American and British women's personality, also have a more profound understanding. They have experienced the zeitgeist of influence, is reflected in their body. For eastern female image shaping the contrast of English and American literature works, has enabled us to more deeply understand the British and American culture, the influence of the formation for humanities character role.译文英美文学作品中的女性形象研究Allison D摘要英美近代文学作品中塑造了诸多的女性形象，在英美近代文学艺术的长廊中，成为独特的那一个。

高一英语Unit2教案GoalExpressionPART ⅠWANMING UP (P8)What’s the difference between British English and American English? That’s what we will begin to know from this Unite. Please try to find the answers for the questions below1.What is the woman’s name and what’s the man’s name?Answer: The woman is Nancy. The man is Joe.2.What is the nationality of the woman and the man? Why doyou think so? = What is that Nancy thinks Joe wants? What is that Joe is looking for? Answer: The woman is from Britain while the man is from the United States of America.One speaks Britain English and the other speaks American English. The man says:”Could I use your bathroom?”What he means is:”I want to go to WC.”But that’s not Britain English. Britain people say:”I want to go to the lavatory.” or “I want to go to WC.” In Britain if onementions “a bathroom”, it may have only a bath or a shower or a basin for you to wash, to take a bath or to have a shower. Only sometimes there may be a toilet in a British bathroom. A toilet is also a water closet or WC. But the word “closet” may refer to a box with a lock in which you keep your clothes and school bags at school. In American English “go to the bathroom” often means to go to the lavatory or WC. So, when Nancy hands Joe a clean towel, he is puzzled. Just look at the picture on page 8.He’s wondering why Nancy gives him a towel. He’s asking himself:” What’s the use of a towel now?” While he is thinking about a toilet or a WC—a water closet. That’s why Joe says:” I didn’t find what I was looking for!”What he was looking for is actually the toilet or the WC—the water closet, not the bath.loo (BrE), lavatory （BrE）, rest room(AmE)3.Do you know what “smart” and “funny” mean in AmericanEnglish? Answer: “smart” is used as an American slang, meaning “clever”. Such as “smart bomb”—a military slang; it’s an extremely accurate missile guided by electronic mans, as by reflected laser beam. A lot of smart bombs were used in the war against Saddam Hussein in Iraqin April 2003. “Funny” means tricky or deceptive in American English. For example, there’s some funny business going on between them. They are doing illegal business against the law.4.Can you tell a story about a misunderstanding caused bythe difference between British English and American English? Answer:During the Second World War, the British government urgently asked the Americans for some thousands of bushels of “corn” to feed liberated population. The American government shipped what in America is “corn”but in Britain is “maize” or Indian corn”. The British really wanted wheat (The British people call wheat corn in England). This linguistic blunder (big mistake) costa few million dollars to repair. So you see, “corn”meanswheat in British English but it refers to “maize” in American English. *bushel蒲式耳=35.238liters升Ask a pair of students to read the dialogue on page 8 then answer the questions one by one.LISTENING (P9)Listening TextIt’s that woman. She drives me crazy. It all started right from the very first day.

Oh Mr Brown, would you please be quiet after nine o’clock in the evening?”And that was only the beginning. “Mr Brown, don’t shower after nine,” she shouted. She would walk past my door and say:” Mr Brown, would you please remember not to smoke in the bathroom? Could you walk the dog, please? Will you trun down your radio, please? Please, Mr Brown, could you speak quietly on the phone?”It was terrible. Oh, I could not have stayed there another week, for sure.

UNIT 1PASSAGE APolar Differences Between Chinese and American CulturesAmericans wear black for mourning. Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as representations of God. The polarities between Chinese civilization and the West often make it seem as though each stands at extreme ends of the earth. Now a University of California, Berkeley, psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.在丧礼上，美国人穿黑色丧服，而中国人穿白色。

西方人认为龙是怪物，而中国人把龙当成神明。

中国与西方的文明差异使它们看起来像分别站在地球的极端。

最近加利福尼亚的一所大学的心理学家伯克利发现中国和美国文化差异的更深极性，那是关于内心深处的如何理性和发现真理的极性。

His findings go far toward explaining many of the differences between Chinese and American cultures, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the door for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese would learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing scholar, who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology, and Americans could profit from Chinese ways of accepting contradictions in social and personal life.他的研究结果对于解释许多中美文化对比的差异有很大的贡献。

The difference between American and British English American English and British EnglishIn order to better understand the differences between American English and British English, there are two reasons for why we emphasize how to use English as well as the number of English around the world. First of all, English is not the only specialty of the American or British, or the native speaker of English. Besides, more people speak English, and its geographical location is wider.Britain is a very serious country in the general mind. The British seem to be wearing, eating, and being rigorous and regular in their work. As a result, the general public has the same idea of the British language, which feels British English is a serious language. And the United States is composed of the immigration of a country, its founding time is shorter, therefore, in people's impression, the United States and Britain have greatly different. Americans are more enthusiastic, do whatever they want, and so do americans.In American English, there are many colloquial dialects and slang, like our Taiwanese hokkien there are a lot of interesting proverb, may add some people think that in English dialogue dialects and slang, can let a person feel vulgar or level. It's not. Because if you add some dialect or idiom to your speech, you can make it more vivid, richer, more informative and easier to understand. In contrast, when you speak, you should be careful not only to speak, but also to talk to you easily.Used by the British and American English are to follow theestablished rules, but with the progress of social trends and changes, whether in Britain or the United States, the English people use have been changed. In the popular sense, American English seems to be changing faster than English. But in fact, scholars have found that American English is more conservative in some ways than British English. In addition, scholars believe that the greatest difference is due to the difference in nature. For example: area, topography, flora and fauna, and population density. In addition, there are some reasons why the British and americans live in different backgrounds and social systems. For example: the political system, the education system.American language is also called "English", at first glance seem irrational, under because of should is the language of the UK called "English", but the americans are immigrants from Britain, so the americans and the British people say language is the same language. Although said the two countries are a kind of language, but there are still some differences, but these differences for the average person may be obvious, but it is not clear the root cause of the differences. Before 1700, English had no British or American English, since there were only British English, and American English was not there at the time. But then, as part of the British people emigrated to America, and developed a culture in America, coupled with the English language in spoken and written English is rarely influenced by standardization and unification, so today to form the British English and American English in two forms. And we can also see that the biggest difference between British and American English is "pronunciation" and "letters". A kind of language use, the more scope is wide, the easier it is to havedifference, became although it is the same language, but with a different system, different forms. Actually, is not only the British and American English used by the two countries are different, all english-speaking countries use English more or less have some different, but while English is used by various countries has its characteristic each, but only the British English and American English people know more general, more debt, so we could lead to the two more representative, also more systematic English for study and discussion.In this paper, we study the differences between British English and American English, roughly divided into pronunciation, letters, culture and other three chapters, this three kinds of the main characteristics to explore the differences between the two. In addition, this study will also be in Britain and the United States now of the culture and social phenomenon as the background, in-depth analysis of the differences between the two, to increase its readers understanding of the two.Pronunciation: English accent is different from all over the world, if you encounter an American at the same time at the party with an Englishman, a few minutes can be identified by their dialogue. The most obvious clues, of course, are pronunciation, such as dance, butter, no, bird, and so on, not only in the tone of the vowel and vowel, but also often in the accent. But this is not a serious problem,Generally, as long as you spend a little time, you can easily get used to local accents. Think about it, even if in the same country, the same language or may be different pronunciation and tone, like the United States in southern and eastern peoplespeak English sounds are very different, so what's more, people from different countries?
