柏拉图
柏拉图是古希腊哲学家,也是全部西方哲学乃至整个西方文化最伟大的哲学家和思想家之一,他和老师苏格拉底,学生亚里士多德并称为古希腊三大哲学家。
在柏拉图眼里,世界可分为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )彼岸世界和此岸世界,彼岸世界也就是理念世界,这里的理念是永恒的,完美的,且只能用理智来把握;此岸世界也就是现实世界,我们看到的,感受到的都是理念这个实体的影子,因此,此岸世界是由缺陷的,不完美的,暂时性存在的,用感觉把握。正是因为用感觉把握,我们所感受到的此岸世界总是带有欺骗色彩的。理念即相:那些不变的永恒的,非现实物质的本质和原型,我们实际所看到的那些可见事物仅仅是其拙劣而短暂的摹本。 柏拉图的道德哲学和政治哲学给我留下了深刻的印象。柏拉图政治学说的出发点是寻求正义。他认为人的灵魂由理性、激情、欲望三部分构成,正义的人必须让理性统治激情,由激情抑制欲望。个人是缩小了的国家,国家是放大了的个人。所以,国家的三个阶层即统治者、武士和生产者,它们各自的德性应该是智慧、勇敢和节制。统治者的职能是依靠智慧,理性地管理国家;武士的职能是发挥激情,勇敢地保卫国家;生产者的职能是节制欲望,安分守己,努力劳动。如果这三个阶层各自具备了自己的德性,各司其职,不相僭越,国家就达到了正义,否则便是不正义。在柏拉图的思想中,政治哲学与道德哲学紧密相关。柏拉图 在其理念中作了两个至关重要的假设: 其一是美德的统一性; 其二是如同灵魂有很多形式一样,国家也有很多形式。国家就像个人一样,它们产生于人类的品格。柏拉图关于个人德行与国家德行相一致的理念有着重要的内涵,在后来的千百年里逐渐被展现出来。一个颇有裨 益的涵义是:“国家的理性”不能有悖于个人的道德,但它还意味着,国家如同个人一样也需要一套连贯的正统信念。道德之于个人的意义相当于意识形态之于国家的意义。21世纪教育网版权所有21世纪教育网版权所有
柏拉图不赞成人人平等,但却赞成依法 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )治国。他批评民主制度一个重要理由是,使得人人平等的法律最终取消了法律。他用“船”的比喻来阐明这一道理:一只船的船长比船上任何人都要更高大、更强壮、更有航海知识和经验,只是有点耳聋和近视,因而缺乏感性意见,不精于人际关系。船员们则利用船长的弱点发动力骚乱,控制了航海权,但他们缺乏航海知识,终日酗酒行乐。这艘船的前程是不言而喻的。柏拉图在后来的论著中进一步说明,只能 由一个人或少数人治理国家, 同时又要避免寡头制和独裁制的弊端, 这就需要两个条件: 一, 统治者应该知道什么是真正的国家利益;二,他或他们严格依法治国,既是法律的制定者,执行者,也是法律的遵守者,服从者。只有法律才是绝对的权威。第二点尤为重要,是柏拉图在晚年较为成熟的理论。他在《政治家》中已经认识到,只有神才具有应付千变万化的政局的知识,人只能按照法律治国,因为他们不可能具有这类神话的知识。21教育网21教育网

莎士比亚
威廉·莎士比亚(1564—1616)是欧 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )洲文艺复兴时期英国最伟大的剧作家和卓越的人文主义思想的代表。 马克思和恩格斯曾提出创作方法上要“莎士比亚化”, 称赞莎士比亚剧作情节丰富,浑然一体,赞许他历史剧中的“福斯塔夫式的背景”。他以奇伟的笔触对英国封建制度走向衰落和资本主义原始积累的历史转折斯的英国社会做了形象、深入的刻画。21世纪教育网版权所有21教育网
1564年4月23日, 莎士比亚出 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )生于英国沃里克郡斯特拉福镇的一位富裕的市民家庭。他少年时代曾在当地的一所主要教授拉丁文的“文学学校”学习,掌握了写作的基本技巧与较丰富的知识,但因他的父亲破产,未能毕业就走上独自谋生之路。他当过肉店学徒,也曾在乡村学校教过书,还干过其他各种职业,这使他增长了许多社会阅历。
18岁时他和一个比自己大8负的农场主女儿结了婚,几年后就做了三个孩子的父亲。 22岁时他离开家乡独自来到伦敦。最初是给到剧院看戏的绅士们照料马匹,后来他当了演员,演一些小配角。1588年前后开始写作,先是改编前人的剧本,不久即开始独立创作。当时的剧坛为牛津、剑桥背景的“大学才子”们所把持,一个成名的剧作家曾以轻蔑的语气写文章嘲笑莎士比亚这样一个“粗俗的平民”、“暴发户式的乌鸦”竟敢同“高尚的天才”一比高低!但莎士比亚后来却赢得了包括大学生团体在内的广大观众的拥护和爱戴,学生们曾在学校业余演出过莎士比亚的一些剧本,如《哈姆雷特》、《错误的喜剧》。
写作的成功,使莎士比亚赢得了骚桑普 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )顿勋爵的眷顾,勋爵成了他的保护人。莎士比亚在90年代初曾把他写的两首长诗《维纳斯与阿都尼》、《鲁克丽丝受辱记》献给勋爵,也曾为勋爵写过一些十四行诗。借助勋爵的关系,莎士比亚走进了贵族的文化莎龙,使他对上流社会有了观察和了解的机会,扩大了他的生活视野,为他日后的创作提供了丰富的源泉。 从1594年起,他所属的剧团受到王宫大臣的庇护,称为“宫内大臣剧团”;詹姆斯一世即位后也予以关爱,改称为“国王的供奉剧团”,因此剧团除了经常的巡回演出外,也常常在宫廷中演出,莎士比亚创作的剧本进而蜚声社会各界。 1599年莎士比亚参加了伦敦著名的环球剧院,并成为股东兼演员。莎士比亚逐渐富裕起来,并为他的家庭取得了世袭贵族的称号。1612年他作为一个有钱的绅士衣绵还乡,四年后就与世长辞。
莎士比亚生活在封建制度开始瓦解,新兴资产阶级开始上升的大转折时期。当时中世纪以宗教神学为代表的蒙昧主义思想走向没落,资产阶级以个人主义为中心的世界观日益深入人心,人文主义在社会文化思潮中开始占据统治地位。莎士比亚则以他的剧作,大胆地批判了封建制度的残酷黑暗及对人性的禁锢,强烈反映了新兴的资产阶级希望建立新型的社会关系和伦理思想的要求,为人文主义在英国和欧洲的传播起了巨大的推动作用。莎士比亚的许多剧作都遗失了,流传下来的只有三十七个,研究者将他的创作按思想和艺术的发展分为三个时期:21教育网21cnjy.com
1.历史剧和喜剧时 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )期:(1590—1600)
在莎士比亚戏剧创作的最初十年中,他共创作了九部历史剧。在这些剧本中除了《约翰王》(1589)描写的是13世纪封建王朝内部的争斗外,其他的剧作则构成了两个内容衔接的四部曲:《亨利六世》上、中、下部(1590—1591)与《理查三世》(1592);《理查二世》(1595)、《亨利四世》上、下部(1597—1598)与《亨利五世》(1599)。
这些剧本概括了英国从1377—1485年间一百余年的动乱历史,描写了英法战争和英国的封建内战,歌颂英国民族国家的形成,谴责封建领主之间的不义战争,对人民的疾苦则表示了深切的同情。后一组剧本写理查二世优柔寡断,听信宠臣,他的堂弟趁机起兵篡夺王位,自立为亨利四世。亨利四世虽然两次平定内乱,却整日忧心忡忡,害怕有野心家会像他曾经做的那样来夺取王位,而太子又是个不务正业的公子哥儿,国家的前途令人担忧。幸好太子改过自新,即位为亨利五世,他以对法战争转移了国内矛盾,收复了在法国的领地。前一组剧本则紧接后一组,写英法百年战争中英国因贵族内讧而失利,贵族纷争再加上平民起义导致争夺王位的封建内战--红白玫瑰战争。内战中,属于红玫瑰集团的国王亨利六世被杀,夺取了王位的白玫瑰集团在爱德华四世死后,其弟理查以狡诈、凶残的手段窃取了王位,最终也死于敌党之手。
这些剧本的艺术成就不一,而最为人们津津乐道的是《理查三世》、《亨利四世》、《亨利五世》。理查三世是英国历史上出了名的暴君,莎士比亚怀着无比愤怒的心情,在剧中描写了阴险狡诈的贵族理查如何以血腥手段挤掉了六个合法继续人,登上王位的故事,揭露谴责了他的凶狠暴和昏庸无道,塑造了一个虚伪狡诈、残酷无情的暴君形象。《亨利五世》描写亨利五世做太子时不甘心宫廷中的刻板生活,在下层社会厮混,与流氓无赖为伍,即位后改邪归正,成为英明的理想君主。这两个剧本从正反两方面反映了莎士比亚的人文主义思想:他谴责封建贵族争权夺利给国家造成的内乱,认为通过道德改善可以产生开明君主,实行自上而下的改革,建立和谐的社会关系与理想的社会制度。
《亨利四世》创造了一个不朽的艺术典型--喜剧人物福斯塔夫。福斯塔夫是一个年过五十的破落骑士,一个好吹牛的懦夫,一个贪婪的冒险家。他是流氓头子,善于见风使舵、混水摸鱼。他否认任何道德,既无良心谴责也无怜悯之心,平生第一快事就是以粗鲁低级的方式向女子献殷勤,生活理想只是如何更大了限度地满足口腹之欲。他生性幽默,喜剧情节和笑料通过他的所言所行妙趣横生。他自恃是太子亲信,整天醉眼朦胧,坐在野猪头酒馆里,率领着一群年轻的地痞无赖,说谎、欺诈、抢劫。一但被太子拉上战场却又胆小如鼠,毫不顾及封建骑士的勇敢精神与荣誉观念,只会倒在地上装死,驮来敌人的尸体冒功。作品最后通过福斯塔夫被掌权的太子——“贤明”君王亨利五世驱逐,反映了封建势力及其附庸必将灭亡的命运。而福斯塔夫则作为一个活在老百姓身边为老百姓喜闻乐见的人物,一个封建关系解体时期“无衣无食的雇用兵”和“冒险家”的典型,成为莎士比亚笔下最成功的喜剧形象之一。21·cn·jy·com21·cn·jy·com
在莎士比亚历史剧大受欢迎的同时 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 ),他还创作了十部喜剧:《错误的喜剧》(1592)、《驯悍记》 (1593)、 《维洛那二绅士》 (1594)、 《爱的徒劳》 (1594)、 《仲夏夜之梦》(1596)、 《威尼斯商人》 (1597)、 《温莎的内风流娘儿们》 (1598)、 《无事生非》(1599)、《皆大欢喜》(1600)、《第十二夜》(1600)。其中最后三部最能表现莎士比亚喜剧创作的风格,人称"娇艳明媚的喜剧三部曲"。这些剧本大都以爱情、友谊、婚姻为主题,而情节却异常生动丰富,非同凡俗。作者以幽默、欢快的笔触和如诗如画的抒情,来揭示人们的感情冲突和现实生活中的矛盾,特别是塑造了一批勇气过人又执着、风趣、机智、温柔的女主人公形象。她们追求自己自由恋爱的权力,与各种邪恶势力做不屈不挠的斗争,在戏剧舞台上放射着耀眼的光芒。
《第十二夜》描写孪生兄妹西巴斯辛和薇奥拉在海上航行遇险,先后流落到伊利里亚。这里的统治者奥西诺公爵正在向一位名叫奥丽维亚的贵族小姐求婚,却遭到拒绝。薇奥拉女扮男装,化名西萨里奥做了公爵的少年侍人。从此,爱上奥西诺公爵的薇奥拉作为爱情的使者,奔跑于奥西诺和奥丽维亚之间,凭着她与自己孪生哥哥相貌异常相像,顺利解决了一系列复杂而又严重的爱情冲突。钟情少年侍从薇奥拉的奥丽维亚成了薇奥拉哥哥的妻子;而饱受对奥丽维亚单相思之苦的奥西诺公爵在发现他的侍从原来是一个美丽的女孩之后,也认识到她感情的可贵,就和薇奥拉结了婚。剧中错综复杂的情节充满了巧合、悬念、误会以及移花接木、巧装改扮的喜剧因素,而处于全剧中心的是勇敢、热情、纯真的少女薇奥拉,在争取人格独立、幸福的权力及人与人之间平等关系的斗争中,她显示出忘我无私、坚贞不渝的品格,充分体现了文艺复兴时期人文主义者的理想。全剧充满了对自由的渴望、对生活的热爱,反映了文艺复兴时代人们朝气蓬勃、勇于进取的精神风貌。
《威尼斯商人》则以较强的对社会讽刺、批判的态度见称。威尼斯富商安东尼奥为了成全好友巴萨尼奥的婚事,向犹太人高利贷者夏洛克借债。由于安东尼奥货款给人从不要利息,并帮夏洛克的女儿私奔,怀恨在心的夏洛克乘机报复,佯装也不要利息,但若逾期不还要从安东尼奥身上割下一磅肉。不巧传来安东尼奥的商船失事的消息,资金周转不灵,贷款无力偿还。夏洛克去不法庭控告,根据法律条文要安东尼奥履行诺言。为救安东尼奥的性翕,巴萨尼奥的未婚妻鲍细霞假扮律师出庭,她答允夏洛克的要求,但要求所割的一磅肉必须正好是一磅肉,不能多也不能少,更不准流血。夏洛克因无法执行而败诉,害人不成反而失去了财产。 莎士比亚成功地塑造了夏洛克这样一个生动复杂、极端利己的高利贷者的形象,同时通过夏洛克,莎士比亚又为一切受民族与宗教歧视的犹太人鸣不平,体现了资产阶级人道主义的立场。剧中借生动的法庭对抗场景提出了海外贸易、放高利贷等经济问题,使人感到作者驾驭素材的高超能力。 剧中性格纯朴、富有才华和正义感的鲍细霞则是莎士比亚塑造的一个理想的资产阶级女性形象。她年轻、貌美、智慧超人,芳名远播,面对纷沓而来的求婚者,她把人的品行作为考虑的第一条件,而并不看重门第财富。她遵从父亲遗训,设置了金、银、铅三个匣子供求婚者挑选,结果攫取金匣的摩洛哥王子得了一张骷髅画,拿了银匣的法国阿尔贡亲五看到的是傻瓜画像,只有聪明、坦诚的巴萨尼奥选中了朴实无华的铅匣,得到了藏在里面的鲍细霞的倩影。鲍细霞则毫不犹豫地投入这个贫穷的青年人的怀抱。这一婚姻标准实际是对封建等级制度的强烈挑战,体现了鲍细霞高尚情操和美好心灵。在法庭上,当凶恶的夏洛克挥舞着借据逼迫法庭镣害安东尼奥的性命时,所有的男人都束手无策,只有智慧的鲍细霞看出了契约的漏洞,重新对契约进行法律的解释,制止了满心报复的夏洛克的凶残行为,这又为鲍细霞的聪慧形象增添了明丽的一笔。 21cnjy.com2·1·c·n·j·y
在这一时期写作的《罗密欧与 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )朱丽叶》(1594),则是反映人文主义者爱情、理想与封建压迫之间冲突的一出充满诗意地悲剧。意大利维洛那城有两个世代为亿的家族。一次舞会上,蒙太古家族的罗密欧与凯普莱特家族的朱丽叶一见钟情,但家族之间的仇杀使恋爱受到阻力。经劳伦斯祖父帮助,两人秘密举行了婚礼。罗密欧因替友复仇刺死了朱丽叶的表哥泰保尔。亲王下令放逐罗密蔚蓝色,朱丽叶也面临被迫逼婚的窘境。神父给她吃安眠药让她装死,并派人通知罗密欧立即返回,但送信人却误了期。不明真相的罗密欧听到朱丽叶的死讯,立刻悄悄赶回家乡,在她身边自杀殉情。不久朱丽叶苏醒,见爱人已死,悲痛之余,也用匕首结束了自己年轻的生命。鉴于世仇造成的恶果,在罗密欧与朱丽叶的录柩前,多少世纪不共戴天的两个家族最后和解。这一对纯真的青年为了追求爱情自由,最终以死反抗阻碍他们结合的封建势力,在情节上虽属悲剧,却也充满了喜剧作品中对生活的热爱、对幸福的向往和对未来的信心,钱剧洋溢着积极向上的乐观主义气氛,实际是一首青春与爱情的赞歌。尽管主人公付出了生命的代价,但隔阂却消除了,爱情、理想最终得胜,罗密欧与朱丽叶成为世界文学中不朽的典型。剧中充满了浓郁的抒情性,如朱丽叶等待罗密欧前来赴约的优美独白: 来吧,黑夜!来吧,罗密欧!来吧,你黑夜中的白昼!因为你将要睡在黑夜的翼上,比乌鸦背上的新雪还要皎白。来吧,柔和的黑夜!来吧,可爱的黑夜,把我的罗密欧给我;等他死了以后,你再把他带去,分散成无数的星,把天空装饰得如此美丽,使全世界都恋爱着黑夜,不再崇拜眩目的太阳。 这深情热烈的词句不知打动过多少少男少女的心。
2.悲剧时期 (1601—1608)
这一时期,是莎士比亚思想与艺术成熟与深化的阶段。时值伊丽莎白女王统治末期,王权与资产阶级关系开始紧张,宫廷贵族生活日趋腐朽。莎士比亚已看清理想与现实之间不可逾越的鸿沟,但他把这些归结为善与恶的道德冲突,他反对暴力,强调理性的作用,创作了一批辉煌而又抑郁愤怒的悲剧剧作,揭露了资本主义原始积累时期已开始出现的社会罪恶与资产阶级的利已主义,表现了人文主义美好理想与残酷现实之间的矛盾。剧中的浪漫主义光辉越来越弱,现实主义描写日益突出。其悲剧的主要内容是人与社会、人与人、人的内心深处的冲突,被称做“性格悲剧”和“社会悲剧”的典范。
《哈姆雷特》(1601)是莎士比亚最重要的作品,这部悲剧就其表现的社会内容和哲学内涵来说都是最丰富的。它以精湛的艺术形式,博大的思想内容表现出主人公人文主义理想的幻灭,反映了作者对人生价值和意义的探索。早在12世纪就流传着丹麦王子为父报仇的故事,英法两国的剧作家都据其情节写过中世纪的血亲复仇为中心的剧本。1601年,莎士比亚将其改编成一部深刻反映时代面貌、具有激烈矛盾冲突的杰出悲剧,使这一复仇故事有了广泛的社会意义。
年轻的主人公丹麦王子哈姆雷特是一个有理想、有魄力、好思索的人文主义者,是个诚实、坦率、正派、道德高尚的人。他结束求学生涯回国时发现,他的祖国已变成成了黑暗的牢狱,父亲已被叔父克劳狄斯害死,克劳狄斯还娶了哈姆雷特的寡母,篡夺了王位。父亲的亡魂出现,要求他复仇。哈姆雷特决心杀死奸王但又顾虑重重,他报仇的愿望逐渐转变成为一种社会责任心:应当改变这个充满犯罪、不仁不义、谎话和虚伪的世界。而要完成这一重整乾坤的神圣使命,哈姆雷特深感自己无法胜任,反之,要同恶势力妥协, 他又深恶痛绝。 这一切使哈姆雷特陷入犹豫、忧郁、和痛苦的自我分析之中。在他下决心动手除去奸王时,不幸误杀了恋人娥菲丽娅的父亲、媚上的御前大臣波洛涅斯。伤心的娥菲丽娅因此丧失了理智,溺死河中。娥菲丽娅的哥哥雷欧提斯要为父亲和妹妹报仇,在奸王阴谋安排的决斗中用涂了毒药的剑刺中了哈姆雷特,哈姆雷特的母亲也误饮奸王为哈姆雷特准备的毒酒毙命。哈姆雷特在临死前奋力刺死了奸王,但他改变现实的宏伟理想却没以能实现。www.21-cn-jy.com【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
哈姆雷特是莎士比亚精心塑 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )造的人文主义者的形象,他对人自身、对人类的明天满怀热爱和信心,在他看来人是“了不得的杰作”,具有“高贵的理性”、“伟大的力量”,有着无比的智慧,是“宇宙的精华,万物的灵长”。人文主义教育使他胸怀远大抱负,但突破其来的巨变,使他遭受了那样多的不增,他无忧无虑、明朗爽快的性格发生了变化。父死母嫁,奸邪当道,国内一片乌烟瘴气。他渴望用进步的人文主义思想改造社会,却又觉重任难当,难以施为。踌躇难决之下,他苦思焦虑,性格一变而为忧虑沉闷,更因复仇的证据不足,一时也找不复仇的时机,无法贸然行动,这使得他优柔寡断,拖延迟疑, 戏中大段沉痛的、强烈自责的独白, 反映了他痛苦、矛盾的心境。表面上看,他令人惋惜地放过了一次次行动的机会,实际上这正是敌我力量悬殊,人文主义理想难以实现的悲剧性反映。从第三幕起,他忧郁的心情开始得到克服,崇高的理想与责任感,使他意识到必须以行动来抗争不合理的命运,于是他雷厉风行地采取了一系列复仇措施,从采取演戏的方法从实奸王的罪行到改写密信,破坏了奸王把他放逐到英国,然后借刀杀人的阴谋,最终刺杀奸王,把国事托给他志同道合的密友,这无不表现了他的机智勇敢、镇定缜密以及超人的智慧。莎士比亚恰如其分地描写了哈姆雷特性格的变化与发展。
悲剧《奥赛罗》(1604)同样反映了文艺复兴时期深刻的社会矛盾。在威尼斯,黑皮肤的摩尔人大将奥赛罗和贵州小姐苔丝狄蒙娜相爱而结婚,遭到贵族们的反对。威尼斯大公派战功赫赫的奥赛罗去抵御土耳其人入侵,故对婚事不加干涉。伪善、狡诈而又阴险的旗官伊阿古因奥赛罗未任命他为副将怀恨在心,为了报复,他巧使诡计诬陷苔丝狄蒙娜不贞。轻信他人而又嫉恶如仇的奥赛罗陷入极大的悲愤与绝望中,妒火中烧,他亲手扼死了无辜的苔丝狄蒙娜,还以为做了一件正义的事。伊阿古的妻子当场揭发了真相,奥赛罗悔恨万分,为了惩罚自己铸下的大错,挥剑自杀身亡。 奥赛罗其实是作者所肯定和同情的人物,他坦率、公正、诚信,但性格中存在着致使的点。他轻信虚假的表面现象,让感情左右理智,以至他和苔丝狄蒙娜的爱情虽战胜了种族的偏见,却未能躲过极端主义者的暗箭,酿成悲剧结局。剧中的伊阿古是一个极端生活利已主义者的形象,为了个人私欲,使尽了卑鄙毒辣的手段。他的生活信条是“既不是为了感情,也不是为了义务,只是为了自己的利益”。他设尽圈套去暗害别人,最后受到了正义的惩罚。
《李尔王》(1605)取材于古代英国的历史传说:年老昏聩的李尔王把王国分给了虚伪的大女儿里根、二女儿贡纳莉,却把诚实率直不会取悦父王的小女儿考迪丽霞驱逐到国外。李尔自己仅保留国王的尊号和一百名侍从,准备轮流住在两个女儿家中安享晚年。谁料两个大女儿达到目的后却原形毕露,把老父赶出家门,李尔王饱受颠沛流离之苦。在一个雷电交加的暴风雨之夜,被逼疯癫的李尔王奔向旷野,对苍天呼喊着自己的悲愤与无奈。李尔王在狂风暴雨下的大段对天独白, 在为我们展现了一个痛苦心灵的同时, 也揭示了这个曾被权利异化的君王的人性觉醒过程。小女儿得知李尔王的遭遇,起兵讨伐两个姐姐,不幸失被杀,李尔王也在悲痛疯癫中死去。莎士比亚站在人文主义者的立场,通过王室家族的内乱和李尔王传动的大起大落,批判了资本主义社会伪善的人伦关系,肯定了同情、博爱的道德原则。
《麦克白》(1605)是莎士比亚戏剧中心理描写的佳作。苏格兰大将麦克白从战场上凯旋而归,途中听信女巫他能当国王的预言, 在野心驱使与其妻的怂恿下, 趁国王邓肯到家中作客之机,弑君篡位,最终落得众叛新离、兵败被杀的下场;他的妻子也因精神分裂而死。全剧弥漫着一种阴鸷可怕的气氛。莎士比亚通过对曾经屡建奇勋的英雄麦克白变成一个残忍暴君的过程的描述,批判了野心对良知的侵蚀作用。由于女巫的蛊惑和夫人的影响,不乏善良本性的麦克白想干一番大事业的雄心蜕变成野心,而野心实现又导致了一连串新的犯罪,结果是倒行逆施,必然死亡。在迷信、罪恶、恐怖的氛围里,作者不时让他笔下的罪人深思、反省、剖析内心,麦克白夫妇弑君前后的心理变化显得层次分明,这就更加增大了悲剧的深度。2·1·c·n·j·ywww.21-cn-jy.com
以上四部剧作被称做莎士比亚的“四大悲 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )剧”。在这些剧作中,莎士比亚看到了正在兴起的资本主义社会关系的内在矛盾,抨击资本主义利益原则的邪恶性质,展现出阶级压迫给广大劳动人民带来的痛苦。但他把社会斗争归结于抽象的善恶好坏的道德问题,仅仅看到思想的力量,个人的作用,而忽视了人民大众,因此在冷酷的、充满罪恶的社会面前,单枪匹马的个人主义英雄往往被碰得头破血流,悲观、茫然、幻灭, 陷入不可解脱的内心矛盾与悲剧结局。 在悲剧终场时,没有一个主人公能逃脱死亡的命运,以至后人把莎剧结束的第五幕称之为“死床”。但玉石俱焚的可怕结局,又表明了剧作家对人类世界的希望:杰出之士死了,为个人利益使尽花招的野心家也难逃死亡的命运,但正义却赢得了道义上的胜利, 正义和美德百世流芳, 邪恶却为人唾弃,遗臭万年,重整河山仍期待着后来的英雄。其尖锐的批判锋芒,对人性的深刻揭示,对时代精神与社会生活的高度概括,使莎士比亚的悲剧至今仍具有震撼人心的力量,成为戏剧史上的丰碑。
在这一时期里莎士比 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )亚还根据普鲁塔克的《希腊罗马名人传》撰写了《尤利乌斯·凯撒》(1601)《雅典的泰门》(1605)、《安东尼与克莉奥佩特拉》(1607)、《科利奥兰纳斯》(1607)一系列悲剧。 《雅典的泰门》写雅典的贵族泰门慷慨好客, 乐善好施,挥金如土,家中日日宾客如云。虽然他帮助许多人摆脱困境,但他分不清谄媚者与朋友,大部分钱还在花在恶棍与寄生虫身上。一朝他黄金散尽,债主盈门,派人向元老、贵族以及那些曾经受过他恩惠之人请求援助时,那些曾百般躬迎的小人却如躲避瘟疫一样唯恐不及,弄得他叫天天不应,叫地地不灵。泰门悲愤地离开了人群,独自隐居在城外的洞穴里,一天,他正挖树根充饥,无意中发现了一大堆金子,饱经世态炎凉,看透人间虚伪的泰门不由愤怒地诅咒道: 金子!黄黄的、发光的、宝贵的金子……这东西只这么一点点,就足够颠倒黑白,丑的变成美的,错的变成对的,卑贱的变成尊贵,老人变成少年,懦夫变成勇士,……这黄色的奴才,可以使异教联盟,国家分裂,祝福罪人;麻疯病人被当作情朗;有了他在元老会议上,强盗可以封官获爵,受人们的跪拜、颂扬;有了他,黄皮鸡脸的寡妇与能重做新娘。 对资本主义金钱原则的揭露真是入木三分!马克思在《资本主义》中曾引用这段话来说明货币的本质。剧中的雅典后来遭到围攻, 贵族与元老们又来找寻曾经是骁勇善战的泰门, 给他金钱、权力、地位,但泰门的心已冷了,最后他变成一个厌世者,怀着对伪善的人类的痛恨离开了这个世界。【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】21世纪教育网版权所有
3. 传奇剧时期 (1609—1613)
晚期的莎 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )士比亚创作呈现出脱离现实,转向梦幻世界的倾向,以幻想来解决与现实之间的矛盾,风格也为之一变,充满童话式的想象,富于明快的节奏。其作品有《辛白林》(1609)、《冬天的故事》(1610)、《暴风雨》(1611)等。这些剧本的情节大同小异,都是主人公先遭到灾难与不幸,后来得于偶然契机转危为安,甚至因祸得福。虽然对黑暗现实有所揭露,但宽恕和谅解的精神贯穿全剧, 主张用爱心医治旧日的创伤, 强调忏悔、改过能产生新的希望。剧本的人物和背景极富传奇性,人物动机近似荒诞,突出运用了大量巧合与偶然事件。
这一时期的重要作品是《暴风雨》。米兰公爵普洛斯比罗被弟弟安东尼奥篡夺了爵位,只身携带襁褓中的独生女米兰达逃至一荒岛,他依靠魔法成了岛的主人。 后来, 他制造了一场暴风雨,把经过附近的那不勒斯国王和王子费迪南及陪同的安东尼奥等人的船只弄到荒岛,又以法术促成了王子与米兰达的婚姻,结局是普洛斯比罗恢复了爵位,宽恕了敌人,返回家园。玄妙的幻想、瑰丽的描写、生动的形象、诗意的背景使此剧成为莎士比亚晚期戏剧艺术的代表。
莎士比亚的剧作是西方戏剧艺术史上难以企及的高峰。在他的戏剧中,展开了如此广阔的生活画面:上至王公贵族,下至生活在社会底层的贫民百姓,社会各个阶层的人物都在剧中婆娑起舞,而每个人又有各自的爱憎、伤悲与欢乐,每个人都具有鲜明的个性特征。同是阴险狡诈、极端自私,麦克白与伊阿古不同,同是勇于为理想、正义献身,奥赛罗与哈姆雷特各异。不同的人物生活在各自的典型环境中。
莎士比亚是无与伦比的戏剧结构大师,他的剧本固然有悲、喜剧之分,但在创作实际中又打破了悲、喜剧的界限,不受严格的传统体裁划分的限制,从而展现出更丰富饱满的人性和人物的精神世界。他善于描写几条相互平行交错的线索,来促进生动复杂的情节发展。写作技巧上则表现出一种奇妙的戏剧紧迫感,逐渐加快的情节发展的节奏,往往有一种气呵成的神来之笔,令观众惊叹不已。
莎士比亚剧作的语言,完全是诗化 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )的语言,柔婉如同淙淙流水,激荡如惊涛拍岸,令人回味无穷。据后人统计,莎士比亚所用的词汇在一万五千个之上,并善于用比喻、隐喻、双关语,许多莎士比亚戏剧中的语言已经成了英文中的成语、典故,极大地丰富了英语词藻。语言形式则既以无韵诗为主,又杂有古体诗、民谣体、俚谚与轻快滑稽的散文体对话,可谓多种多样、丰富生动,成为构成莎士比亚戏剧艺术大厦的基本材料。

Compare the sentences ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) below with the sentences in the grammar box above.
1. Many people still read their works today.
2. Confucius’s ideas still influence us.
3. People all over the world still read and love it.2-1-c-n-j-y
Step 4 Grammar
被动语态(1)
如果想要表达“孩子们喜爱这本书”,“我们每天使用电脑”,我们会说:
Children love this book.
We use computers every day.
如果想要说“这本书为孩子们所喜爱”,“电脑天天都要使用到”,则可以这样表达:
This book is loved by children.
Computers are used (by us) every day.
这两组句子表达的重点有所不同。第一组 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句子侧重动作的发出者,强调某人做了什么,而第二组句子侧重于动作的承受者,强调某事/某物如何。因此,当我们要突出某个行为的执行者时,应使用主动语态(第一组)来表达,而要强调动作的承受者时,就要使用被动语态(第二组)来表达。
被动语态的各类句式总结如下:
1. 肯定句:主语+be+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)
2. 否定句:主语+be not+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)
3. 一般疑问句:be +主语+动词过去分词(+by+动作执行者)

中国古代思想家、教育家、儒家创始人。春 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )秋时期鲁国人。名丘,字仲尼。先世为宋国贵族,三岁丧父,家道中落。自幼喜好祭祀礼仪,长大善于射箭御车。孔子学无常师,相传曾问礼于老子,学乐于苌弘,学琴于师襄。三十岁时,孔子已博学多才,成为当地较有名气的学者,并在鲁国收徒授业,开创私人办学之先河。三十五岁时,因鲁国内乱而奔齐,受到齐景公赞赏,欲起用孔子,因齐相晏婴从中阻挠作罢。不久返鲁,继续钻研学问,培养弟子。五十一岁时,任鲁国中都宰,由于为政有方,五十二岁时被提升为鲁国司空、大司寇。同年,受季孙斯委托,摄行相事,随鲁定公与齐侯相会于夹谷,使定公免遭劫持,迫使齐国归还侵占的鲁国三城。五十四岁时,为消除家臣叛乱的据点、削弱卿大夫实力,孔子提出“堕三都”主张,但受到孟孙氏家臣抵制而半途而废。后鲁国君臣沉迷于齐馈的女乐,令孔子大失所望,遂弃官离鲁,带领弟子周游列国。孔子曾到卫、陈、曹、宋、郑、蔡、楚等国,历经十四年,提出了很多政治见解,终未得到重用。公元前484年(鲁哀公十一年),孔子返鲁,集中精力从事教育及文献整理工作,相传其弟子超过3000人,并曾修《诗》、《书》,定《礼》 、《乐》,序《周易》,作《春秋》。公元前479年(鲁哀公十六年),七十三岁的孔子在失意中逝世。他说:“夫明王不兴,而天下其孰能宗予,予殆将死也。”一腔报国热血空付东流。但是,礼崩乐坏终促成万世师表!殁后,其言行及思想终为后世所认同推崇,最终成为中华民族精神的重要根源。孔子被后世中国人尊称为至圣(圣人之中的圣人)。孔教也成为中国人所谓的三教之一,另两者即为佛教与道教。21世纪教育网版权所有21世纪教育网版权所有
孔子的思想以“仁”为核心,并提倡圣 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )人君子之道。他重视个人的行为。在所有伟大的先贤当中,孔子是最具有关注公众精神的人物。他为社会的混乱情形而忧心忡忡,为了实现理想中的世界,力图说服每个人都要培养自己高尚的人格。孔子提倡每个人都要尽可能地约束自己的行为,以使自己在生活中的每一个行为都符合礼法。孔子为中国人树立了理想的做人标准:彬彬有礼,大公无私,严于律己,这就是他所说的“君子”。21教育网21教育网

One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, in the US, in the nineteenth century.
Talk something about the pictures.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876.

被动语态(1)
如果想要表达“孩子们喜爱这本书”,“我们每天使用电脑”,我们会说:
Children love this book.
We use computers every day.
如果想要说“这本书为孩子们所喜爱”,“电脑天天都要使用到”,则可以这样表达:
This book is loved by children.
Computers are used (by us) every day.
这两组句子表达的重点有所不同。第一组句子侧重动作的发出者,强调某人做了什么,而第二组句子侧重动作的承受者,强调某事/某物如何。因此,当我们要突出某个行为的执行者时,应使用主动语态(第一组句子)来表达,而要强调动作的承受者时,就要使用被动语态(第二组句子)来表达。
一般现在时被动语态的各类句式总结如下:

I wish you will enjoy reading as much as I do. Thank you!

Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), well known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Mark Twain is noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), which has been called "the Great American Novel", and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Mark Twain was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Mark Twain was ve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry popular, and his keen wit and incisive satire earned praise from critics and peers. Upon his death he was lauded as the "greatest American humorist of his age", and William Faulkner called Mark Twain "the father of American literature".
Early life:
Mark Twain wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s born in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. He was the sixth of seven children. Only three of his siblings survived childhood. Twain was born two weeks after the closest approach to Earth of Halley's Comet. On December 4, 1985, the United States Postal Service issued a stamped envelope for "Mark Twain and Halley's Comet." www.21-cn-jy.com
When Twain was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )four, his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a port town on the Mississippi River that served as the inspiration for the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At that time, Missouri was a slave state, and young Twain became familiar with the institution of slavery, a theme he would later explore in his writing.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
Twain’s father was an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )attorney and a local judge. The Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad was organized in his office in 1846. The railroad connected the then second and third largest cities in the state and was the furthermost west United States railroad until the Transcontinental Railroad was constructed. It delivered the mail to and from the Pony Express. 2-1-c-n-j-y
In March 1847, whe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Twain was 11, his father died of pneumonia. The next year, he became a printer's apprentice. In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor of articles and humorous sketches for the Hannibal Journal, a newspaper owned by his brother Orion. When he was 18, he left Hannibal and worked as a printer in New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. He joined the union and educated himself in public libraries in the evenings, finding wider sources of information than he would have at a conventional school. At 22, Twain returned to Missouri.21教育名师原创作品
On a voyage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to New Orleans down the Mississippi, the steamboat pilot, Horace E. Bixby, inspired Twain to pursue a career as a steamboat pilot. As Twain later observed in Life on the Mississippi, the pilot surpassed a steamboat's captain in prestige and authority; it was a richly rewarding occupation with wages set at $250 per month, roughly equivalent to $72,400 a year today. A steamboat pilot needed a vast knowledge of the ever-changing river to be able to stop at the hundreds of ports and wood-lots along the river banks. Twain meticulously studied 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of the Mississippi for more than two years before he received his steamboat pilot license in 1859.21教育网
While traini ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng, Samuel convinced his younger brother Henry to work with him. Henry was killed on June 21, 1858, when the steamboat on which he was working, the Pennsylvania, exploded. Twain had foreseen this death in a detailed dream a month earlier, which inspired his interest in parapsychology; he was an early member of the Society for Psychical Research. Twain was guilt-stricken and held himself responsible for the rest of his life. He continued to work on the river and served as a river pilot until the American Civil War broke out in 1861 and traffic along the Mississippi was curtailed.21*cnjy*com
Missouri was a sla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve state, considered by many to be part of the South, and was represented in both the Confederate and Federal governments during the Civil War. Years later, Twain wrote a sketch, "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed", which claimed he and his friends had been Confederate volunteers for two weeks before disbanding their company.
Travels:
In 1867 Twain join ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed his brother, Orion, who in 1861 had been appointed secretary to James W. Nye, the governor of Nevada Territory, and headed west. Twain and his brother traveled for more than two weeks on a stagecoach across the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, visiting the Mormon community in Salt Lake City along the way. These experiences inspired Roughing It, and provided material for The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain's journey ended in the silver-mining town of Virginia City, Nevada, where he became a miner. Twain failed as a miner and found work at a Virginia City newspaper, the Territorial Enterprise. Here he first used his famous pen name. On February 3, 1863, he signed a humorous travel account "Letter From Carson – re: Joe Goodman; party at Gov. Johnson's; music" with "Mark Twain".21·cn·jy·com
Twain moved to San F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rancisco, California in 1864, where he continued working as a journalist. He met other writers, such as Bret Harte, Artemus Ward, and Dan DeQuille. The young poet Ina Coolbrith may have romanced him.
His first great suc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cess as a writer came when his humorous tall tale, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", was published in a New York weekly, The Saturday Press, on November 18, 1865. It was an immediate hit and brought him national attention. A year later, he traveled to the Sandwich Islands (present-day Hawaii) as a reporter for the Sacramento Union. His travelogues were popular and became the basis for his first lectures.
In 1867, a local newsp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aper funded a trip to the Mediterranean. During his tour of Europe and the Middle East, he wrote a popular collection of travel letters, which were later compiled as The Innocents Abroad in 1869. It was on this trip that he met his future brother-in-law.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Marriage and children:
Charles Langdon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) showed a picture of his sister, Olivia, to Twain; Twain claimed to have fallen in love at first sight. The two met in 1868, were engaged a year later, and married in February 1870 in Elmira, New York. She came from a "wealthy but liberal family", and through her he met abolitionists, "socialists, principled atheists and activists for women's rights and social equality", including Harriet Beecher Stowe (his next door neighbor in Hartford, Connecticut), Frederick Douglass, and the writer and utopian socialist William Dean Howells, who became a longtime friend.
The couple lived ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in Buffalo, New York from 1869 to 1871. Twain owned a stake in the Buffalo Express newspaper, and worked as an editor and writer. Their son Langdon died of diphtheria at 19 months.【出处:21教育名师】
In 1871, Twain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) moved his family to Hartford, Connecticut, where starting in 1873, he arranged the building of a home (local admirers saved it from demolition in 1927 and eventually turned it into a museum focused on him). While living there Olivia gave birth to three daughters: Susy (1872–1896), Clara (1874–1962) and Jean (1880–1909). The couple's marriage lasted 34 years, until Olivia's death in 1904.
During his seventeen y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears in Hartford (1874–1891), Twain wrote many of his best-known works: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Prince and the Pauper (1881), Life on the Mississippi (1883), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889).
Twain made a second t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our of Europe, described in the 1880 book A Tramp Abroad. His tour included a stay in Heidelberg from May 6 until July 23, 1878, and a visit to London.
Love of science and technology:
Twain was in the lab o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Nikola Tesla, early 1894. He was fascinated with science and scientific inquiry. He developed a close and lasting friendship with Nikola Tesla, and the two spent much time together in Tesla's laboratory.
Twain patented ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )three inventions, including an "Improvement in Adjustable and Detachable Straps for Garments" (to replace suspenders) and a history trivia game. Most commercially successful was a self-pasting scrapbook; a dried adhesive on the pages only needed to be moistened before use.
His book A Connecticut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Yankee in King Arthur's Court features a time traveler from contemporary America, using his knowledge of science to introduce modern technology to Arthurian England. This type of storyline would later become a common feature of the science fiction sub-genre, Alternate history.
In 1909, Thom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as Edison visited Twain at his home in Redding, Connecticut and filmed him. Part of the footage was used in The Prince and the Pauper (1909), a two-reel short film.
Financial troubles:
Twain made a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )substantial amount of money through his writing, but he squandered much of it in bad investments, mostly in new inventions, particularly the Paige typesetting machine. It was a beautifully engineered mechanical marvel that amazed viewers when it worked, but was prone to breakdowns. Twain spent $300,000 (equal to $7,518,462 today) on it between 1880 and 1894, but before it could be perfected, it was made obsolete by the Linotype. He lost not only the bulk of his book profits but also a large portion of the inheritance of his wife.21·世纪*教育网
Twain also lost mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ney through his publishing house, which enjoyed initial success selling the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant but went broke soon after, losing money on the idea that the public would be interested in a biography of Pope Leo XIII. Fewer than two hundred copies were sold.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
Twain's writings and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lectures, combined with the help of a new friend, enabled him to recover financially. In 1893, he began a 15-year-long friendship with financier Henry Huttleston Rogers, a principal of Standard Oil. Rogers first made Twain file for bankruptcy. Then Rogers had Twain transfer the copyrights on his written works to his wife, Olivia, to prevent creditors from gaining possession of them. Finally, Rogers took absolute charge of Twain's money until all the creditors were paid.
Twain embarked on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an around-the-world lecture tour in 1894 to pay off his creditors in full, although he was no longer under any legal obligation to do so. In mid-1900, he was the guest of newspaper proprietor Hugh Gilzean-Reid at Dollis Hill House. Twain wrote of Dollis Hill that he had "never seen any place that was so satisfactorily situated, with its noble trees and stretch of country, and everything that went to make life delightful, and all within a biscuit's throw of the metropolis of the world". He returned to America in 1900, having earned enough to pay off his debts.
Later life:
Mark Twain in his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gown (scarlet with grey sleeves and facings) for his D.Litt. degree, awarded to him by Oxford University. Twain passed through a period of deep depression, which began in 1896 when his daughter Susy died of meningitis. Olivia's death in 1904 and Jean's on December 24, 1909, deepened his gloom. On May 20, 1909, his close friend Henry Rogers died suddenly.21世纪教育网版权所有
In 1906, Twain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) began his autobiography in the North American Review. In April, Twain heard that his friend Ina Coolbrith had lost nearly all she owned in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and he volunteered a few autographed portrait photographs to be sold for her benefit. To further aid Coolbrith, George Wharton James visited Twain in New York and arranged for a new portrait session. Twain said four of the resulting images were the finest ones ever taken of him.
Twain formed a c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lub in 1906 for girls he viewed as surrogate granddaughters, the Angel Fish and Aquarium Club. The dozen or so members ranged in age from 10 to 16. Twain exchanged letters with his "Angel Fish" girls and invited them to concerts and the theatre and to play games. Twain wrote in 1908 that the club was his "life's chief delight."
Oxford University ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )awarded Twain an honorary doctorate in letters (D.Litt.) in 1907.
In 1909, Twain is quoted as saying:
I came in with Hal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'
His prediction wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s accurate – Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.
Upon hearing of Twain's death, President William Howard Taft said:
"Mark Twain gave p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leasure – real intellectual enjoyment – to millions, and his works will continue to give such pleasure to millions yet to come... His humor was American, but he was nearly as much appreciated by Englishmen and people of other countries as by his own countrymen. He has made an enduring part of American literature."
Twain's funeral w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as at the "Old Brick" Presbyterian Church in New York. He is buried in his wife's family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira, New York. His grave is marked by a 12-foot (i.e., two fathoms, or "mark twain") monument, placed there by his surviving daughter, Clara. There is also a smaller headstone.21cnjy.com
Conventional ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly, when we talk about health, it always means not get sick. But, physical health is not enough; health can divided into physical and mental health. Physical health makes us strong, keeps us away from disease and lets us do whatever we can as a normal person. we can swim, listen to music, watch TV or make a journey. But if you got some problem of your body, maybe you got a cold; you may not had the mood to do what you interested in. Mental health makes us happy. Not everyone have a good physical health situation, even some people have disabilities. But we still can control ourselves. If we are in a good mood, we can live a easily life, even it can promote our physical states. We can’t say which is more important, physical health is the basis; mental health decided the fate of our future.2·1·c·n·j·y
If one has so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mething wrong with his physical health, it doesn’t mean that he is not a healthy person. Stephen William Hawking is a world famous scientist. When he was 21 he got a disease which makes him couldn’t move except two fingers. He is a person with physical disability. But he has a good mentality. Because of his good mental health and positive attitude, he becomes a very famous person in science research field. 21*cnjy*com
On the other han ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d, if one owns good physical health but with unhealthy mentality, we may say he is unhealthy person. 【版权所有:21教育】
Overall, physical ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) health makes us strong; mental health makes us happy.

Joanne Rowling
Joanne Rowling ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), OBE (born 31 July 1965) is an English fiction writer who writes under the pen name J. K. Rowling. Rowling is the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series, which has gained international attention, won multiple awards, and sold over 375 million copies worldwide. In February 2004, Forbes magazine estimated her fortune at 576 million (just over US$1 billion), making her the first person to become a US-dollar billionaire by writing books. Rowling earned US$75 million in 2005. In 2006, Forbes named her the second richest female entertainer in the world, behind talk show host Oprah Winfrey
Joanne Rowling was born at Yate, northeast of Bristol, South Gloucestershire, England on 31 July 1965. Her sister Dianne (Di) was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four where she attended St Michael's Primary School, later moving to Tutshill, near Chepstow, South Wales at the age of nine. She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College. Rowling was good with languages, but did not excel at sports and mathematics. There are numerous Welsh references to places, things and people in Harry Potter, which could be attributed to her time in Chepstow.
In December 1990, Rowling’s mother succumbed to a 10-year-long battle with multiple sclerosis. Rowling commented, “I was writing Harry Potter at the moment my mother died. I had never told her about Harry Potter.
After studying French and Classics at the University of Exeter (she had previously applied to Oxford but was turned down), with a year of study in Paris, she moved to London to work as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International. During this period, while she was on a four-hour delayed-train trip between Manchester and London, she had the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry. When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she began writing immediately.
Rowling then moved to Porto, Portugal to teach English as a foreign language. While there, she married Portuguese television journalist Jorge Arantes on 16 October 1992. They had one child, Jessica, who was named after Rowling’s heroine, Jessica Mitford. They divorced in 1993 after a fight in which Jorge threw her out of the house.
In December 1994, Rowling and her daughter moved to be near Rowling’s sister in Edinburgh, Scotland. Unemployed and living on state benefits, she completed her first novel. She did much of the work in the Elephant House café whenever she could get Jessica to fall asleep. There was a rumour that she wrote in local cafés to escape from her unheated flat, but in a 2001 BBC interview Rowling remarked, “I am not stupid enough to rent an unheated flat in Edinburgh in midwinter. It had heating.”
