文档简介
课件14张PPT。 CarnivalThere were old festivals 节日 when society was turned upside-down 颠倒过来
For one day, common people became the rulers, and rulers 统治者 became common people.
It was like a big party, and everyone went crazy.
This became the Catholic festival known as Carnival.
It was like a public party, at about the same time as Spring Festival, with food and parades 游行
Masked 近义词 balls (party) , or masquerades, were also popular
1968-Romeo Sees Juliet For The First Time.wmvAt a masked ball you could meet people secretly
近义词
Even today masked balls (party) are quite common.
Of course masks do not really hide you. They only hide your face.
So they are a way of allowing people to get together without “losing face” if things do not go well
The ideas of the old carnival and the masked balls have come together in modern times.
The most famous of these Carnivals in Europe is the Venice 威尼斯 Carnival.
People dress in beautiful fantasy 幻想 clothes and have parades and parties. But the most famous carnival is every year in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro 里约热内卢As many as 2,000,000 people a day are part of this, and 100,000,000 watch on TV.This carnival is a mix of African 非洲 , Christian基督教 , and local当地 traditions传统
It is more like the old Carnival – exciting and sometimes dangerous, too.
There is a lot of drinking, drugs, and sex, and you have to be a little careful.
The idea of “Carnival” became very popular in the 1960s (the Sixties) when many young people began a cultural revolution against the older people.
Today, many young people like having “mini-carnivals” - parties where there is a lot of drinking, dancing, drugs, loud music and sex.
Crazy behaviour and fighting is quite common. (UK TV series “Skins”) This “Carnival” aspect, the “wild side” of our society, is often seen in Western humour, literature, and all kinds of art.
It can creative, interesting, and a lot of fun, but by its nature, it can also be dangerous, because it is “on the edge”, as we say. There is no protection if something goes wrong.
It can take a lot of energy, and you have to be able to “get back” to your proper place.
I don’t think this aspect is well-known in Eastern countries.Please write a paragraph on what you think “Carnival” means.
Is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing?
Does anything similar happen here in China?
Could you behave in this way for a short time?
