② 企鹅英语阅读《名利场》、《精神食粮》和《英国历史》的简介,中英皆可,越快越好!!!

是英国十九世纪小说家萨克雷的成名作品,也是他生平著作里最经得起时间考验的杰作。是英国较著名的讽刺性批判现实主义小说。故事取材于很热闹的英国十九世纪中上层社会。当时国家强盛,工商业发达,由榨压殖民地或剥削劳工而发财的富商大贾正主宰着这个社会,英法两国争权的战争也在这时响起了炮声。中上层社会各式各等人物,都忙着争权夺位,争名求利,所谓“天下攘攘,皆为利往,天下熙熙,皆为利来”,名利、权势、利禄,原是相连相通的。
故事主角是一个机灵乖巧的漂亮姑娘。她尝过贫穷的滋味,一心要掌握自己的命运,摆脱困境。她不择手段,凭谄媚奉承、走小道儿钻后门,飞上高枝。作为陪衬的人物是她同窗女友、一个富商的女儿。她懦弱温柔,驯顺地随命运播弄。从贫贱进入富裕的道路很不平稳!富家女的运途亦多坎坷,两人此起彼落的遭遇,构成一个引人关怀又动人情感的故事。穿插的人物形形色色,都神情毕肖。“如果我有5000英磅,我也会是一个好女人。”《名利场》里的贝姬·夏普如是说。 然而我要说,即使没有5000英镑,贝姬也是个好女人,胜过万千男子。 萨克雷是东印度公司收税员的儿子,受过高等教育,自己却没什么财产。他学法律、学画都不成功,一连串失败的经历,只使他熟悉了中上层社会的各个阶层。《名利场》的背景和人物,都是他所熟悉的。 萨克雷写小说力求客观,不以他本人的喜爱或愿望而对人物、对事实有所遮饰和歪曲。人情的好恶,他面面俱到,不遮掩善良人物的缺点,也不遗漏狡猾、鄙俗人的一节可取。全部故事里没有一个英雄人物,所以《名利场》的副题是《没有英雄的故事》,就是现代所谓“非英雄”的小说。这一点,也是《名利场》的创新。

③ 推荐几本讲述美国历史与文化的英文书籍

1、《美国历史与文化》

是2007年1月浙江大学出版社出版图书,译者是王加丰、周旭东。

主要内容提要:高等学校人才培养模式改革涉及的核心课题之一,是构建符合现代社会理念并能体现科技进步水平的教学知识体系。理想的大学教学知识体系应具有时代性、先进性、学术性和适切性,并且具体体现在能够展现上述先进理念与特征的教材体系与课程内容之中。

全书分为三篇,主要内容包括独立战争与南北战争,环境保护和环境保护运动,清教精神与实用主义,发明创造和科学探索精神,乔治·华盛顿等。

2、《美国简史》

是2013年1月1日安徽人民出版社出版的图书,作者是王毅。该书是一部涉及政治、经济、法律、宗教、文化等诸多领域的美国史书。

《美国简史》是一部通俗、生动的美国史书,由北京新东方教师编著。作者以其渊博的知识,讲述了从哥伦布发现新大陆至第二次世界大战前的美国历史,对这个时期的历史事件、西方文明、科技发明以及美国的政治生活进行了深刻而独到的描述。

还特别介绍了殖民地、独立战争、南北战争以及美国发展时期的一些重要历史人物。为了使读者能够了解每章内容概况,本书还附加200多幅彩色照片,这是与其他版本不同的地方。

3、《美国人:建国的经历》

作者:(美)丹尼尔·J·布尔斯廷。原版名称《The Americans:The National Experience》。

内容介绍:1944年,作者在芝加哥大学任教期间,他曾经有一个独特的学术观点,认为美国人实用主义和注重现实的民族性格,并非来自某种教条或信仰,而是在定居北美大陆的过程中,在环境的磨炼下自然形成了。这个观点可能构成了他后来写作《美国人》三部曲的主要动机。

这三部曲以150万字的篇幅,全景式的展现了美国从殖民地一直到当代的400年间的历史发展,引起了轰动。作者也因此确定了美国史专家的学术地位。这套三部曲获得很多奖项,最后一本《民主历程》还夺得了1973年普利策最佳历史学着作。

4、《美国种族简史》

是2011年11月9日中信出版社出版的图书,作者是托马斯·索威尔。

《美国种族简史》作者在《美国种族简史》一书中,用大量的史实、数字,深入浅出地讲述了各个种族在美国的奋斗史、文化史,包括爱尔兰人、德国人、意大利人、日本人、犹太人、华人、墨西哥人、黑人、波多黎各人等。

众所周知,美国是世界文化的大熔炉。各个种族无论在基因上,还是在文化上都有其本国固有的特质。和其他种族比起来,这些固有的性质也使其在众多种族共存的环境中凸显出来。

5、《剑桥美国史》

一书由[英] 苏珊-玛丽·格兰特所著,新星出版社出版发行。

作者在《美国种族简史》一书中,用大量的史实、数字,深入浅出地讲述了各个种族在美国的奋斗史、文化史,包括爱尔兰人、德国人、意大利人、日本人、犹太人、华人、墨西哥人、黑人、波多黎各人等。

众所周知,美国是世界文化的大熔炉。各个种族无论在基因上,还是在文化上都有其本国固有的特质。和其他种族比起来,这些有的性质也使其在众多种族共存的环境中凸显出来。

肯远离祖籍国来到美国的人们,和他们周围的人相比,更具有进取心,在面对困境时更主动,因此凸现出来的种族特点就更加明显。

虽然个性或者思考方式很大程度上取决于人们所处的阶级,但是依然呈现出很多通用的成功必备的品质,比如重视教育、勤奋、积极、重视经验的传递,这适用于所有的行业。

在美国,种族成功的唯一出路是将自身传统优势发挥到极致,并坚持不懈地适应和改进。今天美国最富有的犹太人和日本人,无一不是这个经验的充分实践者。

本书1981年在美国出版,至今已30年。美国种族史具有超出种族本身的内涵,书中详实的数据资料、对种族特点的分析和观点直到现在仍不过时,并且对于经济和文化越来越多元化的中国具有十分重要的意义。

④ 拜托各位 找一篇有关历史的英语短文

不知道你是要近代史,古代史,中国的还是外国的?

这篇文章是关于 Instrial Revolution 产业革命,工业革命

The Instrial Revolution began in the Midlands area of England and spread throughout England and into continental Europe and the northern United States in the 19th century. Before the improvements made to the pre-existing steam engine by James Watt and others, all manufacturing had to rely for power on wind or water mills or muscle power proced by animals or humans. But with the ability to translate the potential energy of steam into mechanical force, a factory could be built away from streams and rivers, and many tasks that had been done by hand in the past could be mechanized. If, for example, a lumber mill had been limited in the number of logs it could cut in a day e to the amount of water and pressure available to turn the wheels, the steam engine eliminated that dependence. Grain mills, thread and clothing mills, and wind driven water pumps could all be converted to steam power as well.

Shortly after the steam engine was developed, a steam locomotive called The Rocket was invented by George Stephenson, and the first steam-powered ship was invented by Robert Fulton. These inventions, and the fact that machines were not taxed as much as people, caused large social upheavals, as small mills and cottage instries that depended on a stream or a group of people putting energy into a proct could not compete with the energy derived from steam. With locomotives and steamships, goods could now be transferred very quickly across a country or ocean, and within a reasonably predictable time, since the steam plants provided consistent power, unlike transportation relying on wind or animal power.

One question that has been of active interest to historians is why the Instrial Revolution occurred in Europe and not in other parts of the world, particularly China. Numerous factors have been suggested including ecology, government, and culture. Benjamin Elman argues that China was in a high level equilibrium trap in which the non-instrial methods were efficient enough to prevent use of instrial methods with high capital costs. Kenneth Pommeranz in the Great Diveregence argues that Europe and China were remarkably similar in 1700 and that the crucial differences which created the Instrial Revolution in Europe were sources of coal near manufacturing centers and raw materials such as food and wood from the New World which allowed Europe to economically expand in a way that China could not.

The transition to instrialisation was not wholly smooth, for in England the Luddites - workers who saw their livelihoods threatened - protested against the process and sometimes sabotaged factories.

Instrialisation also led to the creation of the factory, and was largely responsible for the rise of the modern city, as workers migrated into the cities in search of employment in the factories.

⑤ 如何快速、高效阅读有关历史题材的文章 英语作文

一是如何快速 包括阅读习惯什么的 理由(证明阐述型语言补充) 二是高效 包括阅读技巧 者的论述可以举例子 也可拿不同阅读方法的不同效果作比较 还可就历史材料的特点 说明 最后总结

⑥ 高分求一篇读历史书了解历史的好处的英语短文..火急!!!

一般的历史知识是必需的,不存在好处不好处的问题,一个历史知识贫乏的人,其言回谈举止都要答打折扣。小学、中学都有历史课,是一种知识的普及,不知道中国有几个朝代就如同地理中不知道中国处于哪个自然带一样,这种无知会让人举步为艰。
深入的历史研究可以让人思想深刻。古代史、近代史的学习有不同的作用:古代史让人回味人类曾经的辉煌,有利于对当今人类发展的定位;近代史回顾刚刚走过的路,有利于更好的走下一步。另外,法律史、管理史、经济史、军事史等等以及它们各自的思想史对不同的学科、行业有不同的作用,这里就不细说了。多读正面历史人物的奋斗史对个人性格的形成有良好的作用。
在同一个时代,比如封建时代,当朝的政治、军事、文化都要借鉴前朝的。如今人类处于历史变革的时期,以前的历史的借鉴意义不可避免地降低了,但历史学习仍有不可替代的作用。。

⑧ 求一篇高中英语阅读,要求:介绍一个地方,有这个地方的特色,建筑,象征,历史

This is a beautiful spot with exuberant(茂盛的) wood and grass at the foot of the West Hill in the western outskirts(郊区) of Beijing. From the Ming Dynasty on, many high-taste nobles built their private gardens in this place. In the Qing Dynasty perhaps because the Manchu aristocrats(贵族) who had just left their forests and grassland had not accommodated(适应) themselves to the environment of the palaces, they built great imperial gardens there. The Summer Palace that has survived calamities(灾难) in history is one of those architectural masterpieces. This is a marvellous conception of a paradise(天堂) on the earth:

The Long Corridor and the Seventeen Arch Bridge are like ribbons. They frame the Kunming Lake and turn it into a beautiful picture. With the Buddha Fragrance Chamber on the Longevity Hill as the highlight, the lake and mountains become a lively whole.

The West Hill and the pagoda(塔) on top of the Jade Spring Hill blot out the limit of the garden and fuse it into an open expense.

Spring in the Summer Palace is merrily colourful, the summer is leisurely exuberant, the autumn sentimentally bright and winter sober, tranquil(宁静的) and clean.

The beauty of the Summer Palace is kaleidoscopic(千变万化的). First you enter spacious courtyards. Their owners have long passed away, but the peonies(牡丹), crabapples and magnolias (木兰) that have survived them still beam in elegance.

Walking out the grandiose imperial courtyards, through the Long Corridor while enjoying the misty lake, along the scarcely traversed West Dike(堤) and the ride in the forest, you suddenly spot the dream-like Jade Belt Bridge...

With elapse of time those roaming around the Kunming Lake are no more imperial relatives or nobles, but the common people. The beauty of the Summer Palace, however, is timeless. Year after year people greet the spring with the willow branches at the Spring Discerning Pavilion, sink into meditation facing lotus in a kiosk of the Garden of Harmonious Delights, and whisper with the frosted leaves at the tranquil back hill... Rain or shine, the Summer Palace is always enchanting.

The beauty of the Summer Palace is, of course, deliberated. The pavilions, kiosks, terraces, bridges, dikes, corridors are crystallisation of the thousand-year old Chinese landscape gardening. The scenic spots contain a nation?謘s profound philosophical and aesthetic tradition. The Summer Palace was not built for public benefit, but through the turbulent(动乱的) century, the Summer Palace has been displaying the height a civilisation once reached to people of different times and origins.

On 2 December 1998 the Summer Palace was listed in the World Legacy(遗产) of United Nations.

The council of the World Legacy remarked, Chinese imperial gardens with the Summer Palace as a representative is a convincing symbol of one of the great world civilisations.
