因为英语的历史漫长而复杂,我们只能抓住其发展过程中的几个关键时期。
英语的历史起源于公元600年之后,而对于公元600年之前的英语史前阶段我们只能揣测而无法证实。
公元前1000年左右,英语民族的祖先(盎格鲁-撒克逊人)生活在北欧森林之中,他们的语言属于印欧语系中的日耳曼语支。
这些盎格鲁-撒克逊人是如何迁移到英格兰的,对此我们知之甚少。
然而据我们所知,在很长一段时间内盎格鲁人、撒克逊人、朱特人一直在为巩固他们在英格兰的定居地而战。
他们与凯尔特人的战争持续了一百多年,直到英格兰境内的凯尔特人不是被杀,就是被迫流亡到威尔士或沦为奴隶。
这就是亚瑟王时期。
亚瑟王不完全是一个传说人物,他是个受过罗马文明影响的凯尔特人,是一位将领,或许不是一位国王。
他也曾打败过盎格鲁-撒克逊人,但只是一时的胜利。
到了公元550年前后,盎格鲁-撒克逊人才最终定居下来。
英语从此来到了英格兰。
我们习惯上把英语的历史分为三个阶段:古英语,中世纪英语和现代英语。
古英语从最早的历史记载即公元七世纪到大约1100年;中世纪英语从1100年到1450或1500年;现代英语从1500年至今。
现代英语也可以再分为早期现代英语(1500年到1700年)和后期现代英语(1700年至今)。
Key to Unit 4, Book 2Text AChinese Translation精英教育的劣势威廉·德莱塞维茨1 我到了三十五岁时才突然意识到我的教育可能存在一些漏洞。
我刚刚买了房子,需要安装水管,请来的水管工就站在我的厨房里。
他个子矮小,留着山羊胡,说话带着很重的波士顿口音,我忽然发现我压根儿就不知道该如何和这样一个人交谈。
在我看来,他的经历如此陌生,他的价值观如此难以推测,他的语言怪异难懂,在他开始干活之前,我都没有办法和他闲聊几句。
我曾接受过十四年的高等教育,拥有好几所常青藤名校的学位,可以用好几种语言和其他国家的人侃侃而谈,却无法和这个站在我家里的人聊天。
2 过了这么长时间我才发现我所接受的教育的错误程度,这并不让人吃惊,因为精英教育绝不可能让你认识到它自身的不足。
正如在耶鲁和哥伦比亚大学二十多年的经验告诉我,名牌学校不遗余力地蛊惑学生为能到这些地方上学而自豪,不断地夸耀名牌大学经历能给他们带来的好处。
精英教育的优势当然是不可不论的。
至少某些方式上,你学会思考,并建立一些必要的人际关系,从而为日后能拥有让世人珍视羡慕的生活打下基础。
如果认为它创造了一些机会,却取消了其他机会,培养了一些能力,却削弱了其他能力,这种情况不仅是大逆不道的,而且是不可思议的。
3 正如我那天在厨房里所认识到的,精英教育的第一个劣势是它让你无法和与你不同的人交流。
精英大学常常夸耀其多元化,但这种多元化几乎总局限于民族和种族的范畴。
在阶级方面,这些学校基本上越来越趋同化。
如果你去拜访我们这个伟大的国家的任何一所精英大学,你会惊讶地发现白人商贾名流和专业人士的子女和黑人、亚裔、拉丁美洲裔的商贾名流和专业人士的子女一起学习和玩耍的温馨美妙的场景。
与此同时,因为这些学校倾向于培养自由开放的态度,所以让学生们陷入矛盾的困境,他们愿意为劳动阶层代言,却无法与来自这个阶层的人民进行简单的交流。
让我们回顾一下上次民主党的两位总统提名候选人戈尔和克里吧:他们一个来自哈佛,一个来自耶鲁,两人都很真诚、体面、富有智慧,但他们都根本无法和广大的选民们沟通。
