英語動物詞彙的象徵意義
人們在長期的生活中和動物有著廣泛的接觸。通過對動物的馴化和觀察，人們在動物身上寄予了「某種感情，某種概念，某種聯想和某種隱喻」，英語中的動物詞彙也因此具有繁多的象徵意義。
1、象徵人物
大自然的動物各有特徵，人們常借那些特徵明顯的動物喻指人物，或褒或貶，意味深長。例如： a ss（驢子，比喻愚蠢的人）；snake（蛇，比喻陰險的人）；fox（狐狸，比喻狡猾的人）；dove（鴿子，比喻愛好和平的人）；wolf（狼，比喻兇狠的人）； w hite elephant（白象，比喻大而無用之人）
2、描述動作
眾所周知，滾伏啟英語中廣泛存在著「名詞動用」的現廳腔象，動物名詞也常常「動詞化」，用來描述人類的行為特徵，從而顯得形象、生動。 例如： S he craned her neck to look for her lost wallet．（她伸長了脖子尋找丟失的錢包。）「 c rane」原為仙鶴之意，借用此處，活靈活現的展現出當事人的焦急狀。 T he train is snaking it』s way along the scope．（火車沿著山坡蜿蜒大如而行。）「 s nake」（蛇）身形彎曲，此處用於描述火車沿山而行，形象貼切。

T he beggar wolfed down the whole bread when he gotit．（乞丐拿到麵包就一口吞了下去。）「 w olf」（狼）生性兇狠，借用此處，惟妙惟肖地展現了乞丐的「飢」不可待。
最後，動物詞彙常用於形容人和事物的特徵。如： h awknosed（長著鷹鉤鼻的）；swallow tailed coat（燕尾服）等。總之，人們通過對日常生活中熟悉的具有鮮明形象和突出特徵的動物來喻指相似的人或物，既生動傳神，豐富了英語的語匯和表達，同時還大大增加了英語的語言魅力。
隱喻隱藏著極為豐富、形象的意象與內涵,從人的言行到世間一切有生命或無生命的事物,其心理、情感、思想、性質、狀態、形象或特徵等一切相關的意義,都可以通過一個隱喻進行充分完善的表述。如用建築物的基礎(foundation)喻指一種理論的基礎(thefoundation of a theory);用陽光(sunshine)喻指幸福的生活(sunshine of life);賦予客觀事物以人的特徵,如:angrysky(憤怒的天空),laughing mountains(歡笑的群山);把抽象的概念具體化,如:the pain of separation(分離之苦);把具體的方位詞語喻指抽象概念,如:in high spirits(情緒高漲),down-hearted(消沉沮喪的)……
例如:It is regrettable that our appeal remained a dead letter.遺憾的是,我們當時的呼籲石沉大海。如果我們把上例句子直譯為「遺憾的是,我們當時的呼籲一直是無法投遞的死信」。那就會有意思的出入。black sheep害群之馬(不宜譯為「黑羊」)When Mary came down dressed for the dance,her fa-ther remarked:「Fine feather make fine birds.」瑪麗打扮好了下樓准備去參加舞會時,她父親說:「佛要金裝,人要衣裝。」Great minds think alike.英雄所見略同。Grayhairshouldberespected.老年人應受到尊重。Anewbroomsweeps clean.新官上任三把火。the salt ofthe earth社會中堅

The Statue of Liberty

In the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada. His mother could not approve of her son's affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.
That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue's right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.
The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay in 1886. It had his mother's face and his wife's body, but Bartholdi called it "my daughter, Liberty".
Barbie
Before all the different types of Barbie dolls for sale now, there was just a single Barbie. Actually, her name was Barbara.
Barbara Handler was the daughter of Elliot and Ruth Handler, co-founders of the Mattel Toy Company. Ruth came up with the idea for Barbie after watching her daughter play with paper dolls. The three-dimensional model for Barbie was a German doll — a joke gift for alts described as having the appearance of "a woman who sold sex". Mattel refashioned the doll into a decent, all-American — although with an exaggerated breast size — version and named it after Barbara, who was then a teenager.
Since her introction in 1959, Barbie has become the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls. Mattel says the average American girl owns ten Barbie dolls, and two are sold somewhere in the world every second.
Now more than sixty years old, Barbara — who declines interviews but is said to have loved the doll - may be the most famous unknown figure on the planet.
Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, was introced in 1961 and named after Barbara's brother. The real Ken, who died in 1994, was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous. "I don't want my children to play with it," he said in 1993.
American Gothic
Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse. He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.
Wood liked to paint faces he knew well. For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man. For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan. He stretched the models' necks a bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.
Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life.
The Buffalo Nickel
Today, American coins honor prominent figures of the US government — mostly famous former presidents. But the Buffalo nickel, proced from 1913 to 1938, honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier — the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians.
While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation.
For the buffalo on the other side, since buffalo no longer wandered about the great grasslands, Fraser was forced to sketch an aging buffalo from New York City's Central Park Zoo. Two years later, in 1915, this animal was sold for $100 and killed for meat, a hide, and a wall decoration made from its horns.
Uncle Sam
Fourteen-year-old Sam Wilson ran away from home to join his father and older brothers in the fight to liberate the American colonies from the British ring the American Revolution. At age 23, he started a meatpacking business and earned a reputation for being honest and hard working.

During a later war in 1812, Wilson gained a position inspecting meat for US Army forces, working with a man who had signed a contract with the government to provide meat to the army. Barrels of meat supplied to the army were stamped "EA-US", identifying the company (EA) and country of origin (US). According to one story, when a government official visited the plant and asked about the letters, a creative employee told him "US" was short for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all Army supplies were from "Uncle Sam".
After the war, a character called Uncle Sam began appearing in political cartoons, his form evolving from an earlier cartoon character called Brother Jonathan that was popular ring the American Revolution. Uncle Sam soon replaced Brother Jonathan as American's most popular symbol. The most enring portrait of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg in his famous army recruiting posters of World Wars I and II. That version — a tall man with white hair and a small white beard on his chin, a dark blue coat and a tall hat with stars on it — was a self-portrait of Flagg.

第一篇：

What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics ring pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and proce a similar liking or genius in the child.

In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

1. Which of the following statements is not true?

A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects ring their pregnancy.

第二篇：

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.

But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

Some adventuresome ecators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

1.According to the author, ___.

A.people used to question the value of college ecation.

B.people used to have full confidence in higher ecation.

C.all high school graates went to college.

D.very few high school graates chose to go to college.

2.In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refer to___.

A.high school graates who aren't suitable for college ecation.

B.college graates who are selling shoes and driving taxis.

C.college students who aren't any better for their higher ecation.

D.high school graates who failed to be admitted to college.

3.The dropout rate of college students seems to go up because___.

A.young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college.

B.many people are required to join the army.

C.young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher ecation.

D.young people don't like the intense competition for admission to graate school.

4.According to the passage, the problems of college ecation partly originate in the fact that___.

A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graates.

B.High school graates do not fit the pattern of college ecation.

C.Too many students have to earn their own living.

D.College administrators encourage students to drop out.

5.In this passage the author argues that___.

A.more and more evidence shows college ecation may not be the best thing for high school graates.

B.College ecation is not enough if one wants to be successful.
