How much do you know about Victor Hugo (维克多·雨果)?
Born in France in 1802, Victor Hugo was a novelist, poet and playwright and was part of the Romantic Movement. Regarded as one of France’s greatest writers, he is celebrated as the “Shakespeare of France”.Hugo first found fame, as a poet, when he was about 20 years old. Less than ten years later, he published one of his best-known works,The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.It was immediately a huge success and is now considered a key work of Romanticism. It remains one of his most popular works today.
维克多·雨果1802年出生于法国，是一位小说家、诗人和剧作家，也是浪漫主义运动的一部分。他被认为是法国最伟大的作家之一，被誉为“法国的莎士比亚”。雨果第一次成名是在他20岁左右的时候，当时他是一名诗人。不到十年后，他出版了他最著名的作品之一《无名驼背》。这部作品立即获得了巨大的成功，现在被认为是浪漫主义的关键作品。它至今仍是他最受欢迎的作品之一。
Do you agree that “It’s a pretty person’s world”? Why?
雨果的创作历程长达60余年，其作品包括26卷诗歌、20卷小说、12卷剧本、21卷哲理论著，合计79卷。其代表作有长篇小说《巴黎圣母院》《九三年》和《悲惨世界》，短篇小说有《“诺曼底号”遇难记》。《“诺曼底号”遇难记》还被选入教材部编版语文四年级下册第二十三课、冀教版五年级下册第二十课、沪教版六年级下册第十课。
Victor Hugo's novel told us it isn't a pretty person's world. Because we should not judge a person by his appearance, but by his inner kindness and honesty.
《巴黎圣母院》
内容简介:
“丑在美的旁边，畸形靠近优美，粗俗藏在崇高的背后，恶与善并存，黑暗和光明与共。”
《巴黎圣母院》是雨果浪漫主义小说杰作，艺术地再现了四百多年前法王路易十一统治时期的历史真实，作者将可歌可泣的故事和生动丰富的戏剧性场面有机地连缀起来，浪漫主义色彩浓烈，是运用浪漫主义对照原则的艺术范本。
《巴黎圣母院》体现了雨果的“美丑对照”的艺术表现原则，它的发表，打破了伪古典主义的桎梏，标志着浪漫主义的胜利。
浪漫主义是文艺的基本创作方法之一，其与现实主义被并称为文学艺术上的两大主要思潮。作为创作方法，浪漫主义在反映客观现实上侧重从主观内心世界出发，抒发对理想世界的热烈追求，常用热情奔放的语言、瑰丽的想象和夸张的手法来塑造形象。浪漫主义的创作倾向由来已久，早在人类的文学艺术处于口头创作时期，一些作品就不同程度地带有浪漫主义的因素和特色，但这时的浪漫主义既未形成思潮，又不是自觉为人们掌握的创作方法。
What about the Romanticism (浪漫主义)？
小说简介
《巴黎圣母院》简介
卡西莫多被巴黎圣母院的神父克罗德收养，做撞钟人，神父克罗德自从遇见美丽的吉普赛少女爱斯梅拉达和弗比斯幽会刺杀后，并嫁祸于爱斯梅拉达，令她被判死刑，行刑时，卡西莫多将爱斯梅拉达救走并藏身于巴黎圣母院中，但最后爱斯梅拉达被军队绞杀在广场上，卡西莫多愤然将克罗德从教堂顶楼推落，最后卡西莫多抱着爱斯梅拉达的尸体殉情。
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) is Hugo’s first major romantic novel.With sudden change and contrast, it is a tale set in 15th-century France: Crod, the archdeacon (副主教) of Notre Dame, is a virtuous, snide man who loves before he hates the gypsy girl Esmeralda.Ugly face, kind-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo to save the girl gave his life.
The novel revealed the fake feelings of religion, praised the kindness, friendship and self-sacrifice of the lower working people, and reflected Hugo’s humanitarian thought.
《巴黎圣母院》（1831）是雨果第一部大型浪漫主义小说。它以离奇和对比手法写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事：巴黎圣母院副主教克罗德道貌岸然、蛇蝎心肠，先爱后恨，迫害吉卜赛女郎爱斯梅拉达。面目丑陋、心地善良的敲钟人卡西莫多为救女郎舍身。
小说揭露了宗教的虚伪，歌颂了下层劳动人民的善良、友爱、舍己为人，反映了雨果的人道主义思想。

Pre-reading
Read the passage and find out why Quasimodo rescued Esmeralda.
Published in 1831，The Hunchback of Notre-Dame tells a tragic story of events in Paris. Esmeralda’s beauty means that many men fall in love with her. One such man sends the hunchback Quasimodo to kidnap Esmeralda. But Quasimodo fails and iscaptured and tortured in public. Esmeralda hears his call for water，and steps forwards out of mercy. She offers Quasimodo a drink of water，which saves him and also captures his heart. When Esmeralda is later sentenced to death for a crime she did not commit，Quasimodo rescues her from an angry crowd outside the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Esmeralda is safe from execution as long as she stays inside the cathedral...

While- reading
Esmeralda and Quasimodo were still for several moments，as they considered their predicament in silence，she so graceful，he so repulsive . Every moment Esmeralda discovered some fresh defect in Quasimodo，as her glance travelled from his knock knees to his hunched back，from his hunched back to his single eye. How anyone could be formed in such a way was beyond her comprehension . Yet there was so much melancholy and so much gentleness spread over all this that she gradually adjusted to it.
He was the first to break the silence“. So you were telling me to return?”
She moved her head，and said，“Yes. ”
He understood the motion of the head. “But!” he said，as though hesitating whether to finish，“I am—I am deaf.”
“Poor wretch!” exclaimed Esmeralda，with an expression of heartfelt compassion.
He began to smile sadly.

“You suppose that was all that I was missing，do you not? Yes，I am deaf，that is the way I am made. It is horrible，is it not，next to your exquisite beauty!”
There lay in the accents of the unfortunate man so significant an awareness of his sadness that she had not the strength to utter a syllable. In any case，he would not have heard her. He continued：
“Never have I viewed my ugliness as at the present moment. When I compare myself to you，I feel an immense pity for myself，poor unfortunate monster that I am! Be honest，to you I must resemble some savage creature. You，you are a ray of sunshine，a drop of dew，a birdsong，whilst I am something terrible，neither human nor beast. I don’t know what I am，as I am coarser，more downtrodden，and plainer than a pebble !”
Then he began to laugh，and that laugh was the most heartbreaking sound in the world. He continued：
“Yes，I am deaf，but you shall talk to me with your hands as my master talks to me，and then I shall quickly know your wishes from the movement of your lips，from
your expression.”

“Well!” she smiled，“Explain to me why you rescued me.”
He watched her intently while she was speaking.
“ I understand，”he replied“. You ask me why I rescued you. You have forgotten anunfortunate person who attempted to kidnap you one night，this same person towhom you showed kindness when he was being punished. A drop of water and a little pity—that is more than I can repay with my life. You have forgotten that unfortunate soul，but he remembers it.”
She listened to him with profound tenderness . A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo，but did not fall. He seemed to make it a point of honour to keep it at bay.

Some sentences about personal appearance.
When comparing and contrasting characters in a narrative, consider their appearance, actions, and motives. Appearance in literature usually has meaning; a character’s beauty and ugliness is not accidental, as it is in real life. It is also very important to consider how each character changes over time, that is, to compare each character to earlier versions of themselves.

accidental 意外的
在叙事中比较和对比人物时，考虑他们的外貌、行为和动机。文学中的外貌通常是有意义的；人物的美与丑并非偶然，就像在现实生活中一样。考虑每个角色随时间的变化也非常重要，也就是说，将每个角色与他们之前的版本进行比较。

Post-reading
Underline the sentences that describe Esmeralda and Quasimodo’s appearances and feelings. Write a short paragraph to describe how Esmeralda and Quasimodo see each other.
Think and Share
1 What does the sentence "A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo,but did not fall" tell us about Quasimodo's personality?
On one hand, it shows that Quasimodo is sensitive and gentle; on the other hand, it shows his strength and pride.
2 In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit raise our awareness of physical appearance and personal qualities?
The first passage shows the true meaning of beauty. Though how you present yourself to others plays a part, accepting yourself and feeling confident about your physical appearance are most important. The second passage highlights how someone's physical appearance can actually be a complete contrast to who they are on the inside.
3 What difficulties might people like Quasimodo face in the real world?
How should people treat them?
In a real world where appearances are judged, he is likely to encounter others’coldness or discrimination. For example, if he applied for a job in a company, he would be turned down for his ugly appearance. I think people should value virtue rather than appearance when judging others.
4 Predict what happens next. Share your ideas with the class. Read the
novel and check your prediction.
Quasimodo's sincerity and kindness, hidden in his ugly and misshapen appearance，move Esmeralda, who is also kind-hearted, and win her respect.
Think and Share
1 Organise your ideas by considering the questions.
What is the character like?
Has he/she experienced any emotional changes? If so，what changes are they?
What can you learn from him/her?

Writing about a literary work
The Picture of Dorian Gray
This book by Oscar Wilde tells the story of Dorian Gray，a very handsome young man who spends
his life only concerned with his own pleasure，regardless of the suffering he brings to others.
The story starts with young Dorian having his portrait painted. His friend Lord Wotton talks about
beauty and pleasure being the only important things in life.
Fascinated by his words，Dorian wishes he could remain young and good-looking always, with his
portrait growing old instead of him.
Soon afterwards，Dorian is surprised to find his wish has come true，after he meets Sybil，an innocent actress who falls in love with him. Dorian heartlessly abandons her just because she performs poorly one night. When he learns that Sybil has killed herself，Dorian finds his face in the painting has taken on a cruel look.
He hides the painting away so that no one else may see it. For the next 18 years，Dorian engages in various evil deeds. His portrait ages and reveals his inner ugliness. One day，he suddenly comes to be fearful of his past crimes and wants to start a new life. But his portrait remains the same and reminds him of everything he has done. Feeling desperate，he tries to destroy the portrait with a knife，but it is he who is killed. His body is discovered，old and awful，while his portrait is young and handsome once again.
In the story, what matters most to Dorian Gray is that he is good-looking，not that he has a good heart. He sacrifices his true self in pursuit of physical beauty and pleasure，which leads to his destruction in the end.

多里安·格雷的画像
奥斯卡·王尔德的这本书讲述了多里安·格雷的故事，他是一个非常英俊的年轻人，一生只关心自己的快乐，而不顾他给别人带来的痛苦。
故事开始于年轻的多里安让人给他画肖像。他的朋友沃顿勋爵说，美和快乐是生活中唯一重要的事情。多里安被他的话迷住了，他希望自己能永远年轻漂亮，让他的画像代替他变老。
不久之后，多里安惊讶地发现他的愿望成真了，在他遇到西比尔后，一个无辜的女演员爱上了他。多里安无情地抛弃了她，只是因为她表现不佳的一个晚上。当他得知西比尔自杀时，多里安发现他在画中的脸看起来很残忍。
他把画藏起来，以免别人看见。在接下来的18年里，多里安做了各种各样的坏事。他的肖像变老了，暴露了他内心的丑陋。有一天，他突然对过去的罪行感到恐惧，想要开始新的生活。但他的画像依然如旧，让他想起自己所做的一切。绝望之下，他试图用刀摧毁画像，但被杀死的是他自己。他的身体被发现了，又老又可怕，而他的肖像又年轻又英俊。
在这个故事中，对道林·格雷来说最重要的是他长得好看，而不是他有一颗善良的心。他为了追求身体的美丽和快乐而牺牲了真实的自我，最终导致了他的毁灭。

& 参考答案 Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre，written by Charlotte Brontё and first published in 1847，tells the timeless story of the love between a poor young governess and a rich and mysterious gentleman.
After leaving the orphanage where she has spent most of her childhood，Jane Eyre goes to work as the governess of the daughter of a wealthy but troubled landowner. As she comes to know the great house and the people who live and work within it，Jane begins to uncover the secret responsible for Rochester’s temper and reticence. They fall in love，but just when they seem to live happily ever after，that secret threatens to tear them apart.
Jane Eyre looks at how people should not be underestimated because of the way they look—Jane might be small and plain，but she is also strong， courageous and independent. Although she is a woman and from a lower social class than Rochester，she wants to prove herself his equal in spirit.

Homework 2：Possible version
请尝试以《读后续写》的形式为贾玲的《热辣滚烫》式身材蜕
变写续写，并表达你对美与丑的看法，字数不超过150词。
After months of relentless training and perseverance, Jia Ling finally stood before the mirror, a newfound confidence radiating from her. Her once soft curves had transformed into a toned, "hot and rolling" physique, a testament to her dedication and hard work. The journey wasn't just about physical transformation; it was a rediscovery of inner strength and beauty.
Beauty, I believe, lies not just in the eye of the beholder but in the heart of the individual. It's not about conforming to societal standards but embracing one's unique qualities. Jia Ling's transformation taught me that true beauty is a blend of inner and outer harmony, achieved through effort, self-acceptance, and love. In the end, it's not about being perfect but about being the best version of oneself.

Victor Hugo's novel told us it isn't a pretty person's world. Because we should not judge a person by his appearance, but by his inner kindness and honesty.
《巴黎圣母院》
内容简介:
“丑在美的旁边，畸形靠近优美，粗俗藏在崇高的背后，恶与善并存，黑暗和光明与共。”
《巴黎圣母院》是雨果浪漫主义小说杰作，艺术地再现了四百多年前法王路易十一统治时期的历史真实，作者将可歌可泣的故事和生动丰富的戏剧性场面有机地连缀起来，浪漫主义色彩浓烈，是运用浪漫主义对照原则的艺术范本。
《巴黎圣母院》体现了雨果的“美丑对照”的艺术表现原则，它的发表，打破了伪古典主义的桎梏，标志着浪漫主义的胜利。
浪漫主义是文艺的基本创作方法之一，其与现实主义被并称为文学艺术上的两大主要思潮。作为创作方法，浪漫主义在反映客观现实上侧重从主观内心世界出发，抒发对理想世界的热烈追求，常用热情奔放的语言、瑰丽的想象和夸张的手法来塑造形象。浪漫主义的创作倾向由来已久，早在人类的文学艺术处于口头创作时期，一些作品就不同程度地带有浪漫主义的因素和特色，但这时的浪漫主义既未形成思潮，又不是自觉为人们掌握的创作方法。

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) is Hugo’s first major romantic novel.With sudden change and contrast, it is a tale set in 15th-century France: Crod, the archdeacon (副主教) of Notre Dame, is a virtuous, snide man who loves before he hates the gypsy girl Esmeralda.Ugly face, kind-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo to save the girl gave his life.
The novel revealed the fake feelings of religion, praised the kindness, friendship and self-sacrifice of the lower working people, and reflected Hugo’s humanitarian thought.
《巴黎圣母院》（1831）是雨果第一部大型浪漫主义小说。它以离奇和对比手法写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事：巴黎圣母院副主教克罗德道貌岸然、蛇蝎心肠，先爱后恨，迫害吉卜赛女郎爱斯梅拉达。面目丑陋、心地善良的敲钟人卡西莫多为救女郎舍身。
小说揭露了宗教的虚伪，歌颂了下层劳动人民的善良、友爱、舍己为人，反映了雨果的人道主义思想。

Read the passage and find out why Quasimodo rescued Esmeralda.
Published in 1831，The Hunchback of Notre-Dame tells a tragic story of events in Paris. Esmeralda’s beauty means that many men fall in love with her. One such man sends the hunchback Quasimodo to kidnap Esmeralda. But Quasimodo fails and iscaptured and tortured in public. Esmeralda hears his call for water，and steps forwards out of mercy. She offers Quasimodo a drink of water，which saves him and also captures his heart. When Esmeralda is later sentenced to death for a crime she did not commit，Quasimodo rescues her from an angry crowd outside the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Esmeralda is safe from execution as long as she stays inside the cathedral...

While- reading
Esmeralda and Quasimodo were still for several moments，as they considered their predicament in silence，she so graceful，he so repulsive . Every moment Esmeralda discovered some fresh defect in Quasimodo，as her glance travelled from his knock knees to his hunched back，from his hunched back to his single eye. How anyone could be formed in such a way was beyond her comprehension . Yet there was so much melancholy and so much gentleness spread over all this that she gradually adjusted to it.
He was the first to break the silence“. So you were telling me to return?”
She moved her head，and said，“Yes. ”
He understood the motion of the head. “But!” he said，as though hesitating whether to finish，“I am—I am deaf.”
“Poor wretch!” exclaimed Esmeralda，with an expression of heartfelt compassion.
He began to smile sadly.

“You suppose that was all that I was missing，do you not? Yes，I am deaf，that is the way I am made. It is horrible，is it not，next to your exquisite beauty!”
There lay in the accents of the unfortunate man so significant an awareness of his sadness that she had not the strength to utter a syllable. In any case，he would not have heard her. He continued：
“Never have I viewed my ugliness as at the present moment. When I compare myself to you，I feel an immense pity for myself，poor unfortunate monster that I am! Be honest，to you I must resemble some savage creature. You，you are a ray of sunshine，a drop of dew，a birdsong，whilst I am something terrible，neither human nor beast. I don’t know what I am，as I am coarser，more downtrodden，and plainer than a pebble !”
Then he began to laugh，and that laugh was the most heartbreaking sound in the world. He continued：
“Yes，I am deaf，but you shall talk to me with your hands as my master talks to me，and then I shall quickly know your wishes from the movement of your lips，from
your expression.”

“Well!” she smiled，“Explain to me why you rescued me.”
He watched her intently while she was speaking.
“ I understand，”he replied“. You ask me why I rescued you. You have forgotten anunfortunate person who attempted to kidnap you one night，this same person towhom you showed kindness when he was being punished. A drop of water and a little pity—that is more than I can repay with my life. You have forgotten that unfortunate soul，but he remembers it.”
She listened to him with profound tenderness . A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo，but did not fall. He seemed to make it a point of honour to keep it at bay.

Some sentences about personal appearance.
When comparing and contrasting characters in a narrative, consider their appearance, actions, and motives. Appearance in literature usually has meaning; a character’s beauty and ugliness is not accidental, as it is in real life. It is also very important to consider how each character changes over time, that is, to compare each character to earlier versions of themselves.

Post-reading
Underline the sentences that describe Esmeralda and Quasimodo’s appearances and feelings. Write a short paragraph to describe how Esmeralda and Quasimodo see each other.
Think and Share
1 What does the sentence "A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo,but did not fall" tell us about Quasimodo's personality?
On one hand, it shows that Quasimodo is sensitive and gentle; on the other hand, it shows his strength and pride.
2 In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit raise our awareness of physical appearance and personal qualities?
The first passage shows the true meaning of beauty. Though how you present yourself to others plays a part, accepting yourself and feeling confident about your physical appearance are most important. The second passage highlights how someone's physical appearance can actually be a complete contrast to who they are on the inside.
3 What difficulties might people like Quasimodo face in the real world?
How should people treat them?
In a real world where appearances are judged, he is likely to encounter others’coldness or discrimination. For example, if he applied for a job in a company, he would be turned down for his ugly appearance. I think people should value virtue rather than appearance when judging others.
4 Predict what happens next. Share your ideas with the class. Read the
novel and check your prediction.
Quasimodo's sincerity and kindness, hidden in his ugly and misshapen appearance，move Esmeralda, who is also kind-hearted, and win her respect.

Writing about a literary work
The Picture of Dorian Gray
This book by Oscar Wilde tells the story of Dorian Gray，a very handsome young man who spends
his life only concerned with his own pleasure，regardless of the suffering he brings to others.
The story starts with young Dorian having his portrait painted. His friend Lord Wotton talks about
beauty and pleasure being the only important things in life.
Fascinated by his words，Dorian wishes he could remain young and good-looking always, with his
portrait growing old instead of him.
Soon afterwards，Dorian is surprised to find his wish has come true，after he meets Sybil，an innocent actress who falls in love with him. Dorian heartlessly abandons her just because she performs poorly one night. When he learns that Sybil has killed herself，Dorian finds his face in the painting has taken on a cruel look.
He hides the painting away so that no one else may see it. For the next 18 years，Dorian engages in various evil deeds. His portrait ages and reveals his inner ugliness. One day，he suddenly comes to be fearful of his past crimes and wants to start a new life. But his portrait remains the same and reminds him of everything he has done. Feeling desperate，he tries to destroy the portrait with a knife，but it is he who is killed. His body is discovered，old and awful，while his portrait is young and handsome once again.
In the story, what matters most to Dorian Gray is that he is good-looking，not that he has a good heart. He sacrifices his true self in pursuit of physical beauty and pleasure，which leads to his destruction in the end.

故事开始于年轻的多里安让人给他画肖像。他的朋友沃顿勋爵说，美和快乐是生活中唯一重要的事情。多里安被他的话迷住了，他希望自己能永远年轻漂亮，让他的画像代替他变老。
不久之后，多里安惊讶地发现他的愿望成真了，在他遇到西比尔后，一个无辜的女演员爱上了他。多里安无情地抛弃了她，只是因为她表现不佳的一个晚上。当他得知西比尔自杀时，多里安发现他在画中的脸看起来很残忍。
他把画藏起来，以免别人看见。在接下来的18年里，多里安做了各种各样的坏事。他的肖像变老了，暴露了他内心的丑陋。有一天，他突然对过去的罪行感到恐惧，想要开始新的生活。但他的画像依然如旧，让他想起自己所做的一切。绝望之下，他试图用刀摧毁画像，但被杀死的是他自己。他的身体被发现了，又老又可怕，而他的肖像又年轻又英俊。

& 参考答案 Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre，written by Charlotte Brontё and first published in 1847，tells the timeless story of the love between a poor young governess and a rich and mysterious gentleman.
After leaving the orphanage where she has spent most of her childhood，Jane Eyre goes to work as the governess of the daughter of a wealthy but troubled landowner. As she comes to know the great house and the people who live and work within it，Jane begins to uncover the secret responsible for Rochester’s temper and reticence. They fall in love，but just when they seem to live happily ever after，that secret threatens to tear them apart.
Jane Eyre looks at how people should not be underestimated because of the way they look—Jane might be small and plain，but she is also strong， courageous and independent. Although she is a woman and from a lower social class than Rochester，she wants to prove herself his equal in spirit.

After months of relentless training and perseverance, Jia Ling finally stood before the mirror, a newfound confidence radiating from her. Her once soft curves had transformed into a toned, "hot and rolling" physique, a testament to her dedication and hard work. The journey wasn't just about physical transformation; it was a rediscovery of inner strength and beauty.
Beauty, I believe, lies not just in the eye of the beholder but in the heart of the individual. It's not about conforming to societal standards but embracing one's unique qualities. Jia Ling's transformation taught me that true beauty is a blend of inner and outer harmony, achieved through effort, self-acceptance, and love. In the end, it's not about being perfect but about being the best version of oneself.
