阿道司·赫胥黎(Aldous Huxley)的《美丽新世界》 书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识,为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会。这是一个人从出生到死亡都受着控制的社会。在这个“美丽新世界”里,由于社会与生物控制技术的发展,人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶。这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了。
这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会,人类经基因控制孵化,被分为五个阶级,分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动。人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作,视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福。因此,这是,一个快乐的社会,这种快乐还有别的措施保障,比如睡眠教学,催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维,国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情。
正是在这个“美丽新世界”里,人们失去了个人情感,失去了爱情,失去了痛苦、激情和经历危险的感觉。最可怕的是,人们失去了思考的权利,失去了创造力。
…it became a subject of much discussion…
e.g. As soon as the new bill was passed, it became a subject of much discussion.新的议案一通过, 就成了议论的中心。
Grammar
it was talked about much… 成为议论的中心
1. The reason why Brave New World is still so famous is that it describes a terrifying future world that is becoming more and more possible.
《美丽新世界》如此出名的原因是它描述了一个越来越有可能成为现实的恐怖的未来世界。
品味经典
①The reason why he died young was that he didn’t pay attention to his health.
他早死的原因是他不注意自己的身体健康。
②The reason why he was absent from the meeting was that he got stuck in the traffic.
他缺席会议的原因是他遇到交通阻塞了。
③The only reason why scientists have not created thousands of identical clones is that they have not yet learnt how to do this.

归纳拓展
That’s the reason why...
那是……的原因
the reason is that...
原因是……
④The reason that he explained to the teacher surprised all of us.
他向老师解释的原因使我们大家很惊讶。
注意:
该句中 that he explained to the teacher 也是作定语从句修饰reason,但因引导词要做及物动词explained的宾语,所以要使用关系代词that或which,而不能使用why引导。
牛刀小试
One reason________ he told me for his being late is________ he didn’t catch the early bus.
A.that;why B.why;because
C.why;that D.that;that
解析:选D。本题考查名词性从句引导词的用法。第一个空用that引导定语从句;第二个空用that引导表语从句,表示事实。注意句型The reason why...表示的是“……的原因”。
