《老古玩店》《大卫.科波菲尔》One of the greatest novelist in English literature. It was the best of Times. It was the worst of Times. Oliver TwistReading √√√√Answer these questions:1 Why do you think so many authoresses wrote about love and marriage? This was the experience and the dilemma for these women writers and this was also a common longing for most women.2 Which writer was the most reserved in her descriptions of feelings? Why do we still read her books?
Jane Austin was most reserved in her description of personal feelings. We read her books for their humour, irony and characterization.3 In which way were George Eliot's books similar to those of Charles Dickens?George Eliot's books were concerned with the way
social pressures made people behave badly or stu-
pidly, while Charles Dickens novels are concerned
with injustice in society. So both are concerned with society and its effect on the individual but they deal with it from different points of views.4 In which way were George Eliot's books similar to those of Charlotte Bronte?George Eliot describes the personal distress that
people bring upon themselves when they behave
badly according to the expectations of society at
That time. Charlotte Bronte describes how emotional
necessity makes people behave against the expected
behaviour of society. So they are both concerned with
how a person's feelings affect their decisions.Language points1 At this time the only respectable career for a woman was to marry,so the dilemma of her heroines was also to marry hut for love那时,女性唯一受到尊重的事业就是嫁人,所以她作品中的女主人公也为了无爱情的婚姻所困扰。
respectable可以形容人,也可以形容某件事,意思是”符台社会道德标准的;正派的;正当的;值得尊敬的”,常见的搭配有:
respectable citizens遵纪守法的公民

来自外人的尊敬,“受人尊敬的”,而respectful指对外人的尊敬,“恭敬的”。如:
No respectable girl would associate with a man
like him没有哪个正派姑娘愿意和他这样的人交往。
I wish you would be mole respectful to your father
我真希望你对你的父亲能更尊敬一点。 dilemma的意思是“两难处境”,在本句中的“两
难”指的是“要么找不到真爱就不结婚,要么就同意缔结没有爱情基础的婚姻”。如;

But for the rain,we would have had a pleasant
journey要不是这场雨,我们的旅行一定会很愉
快的。
2 It was also in her refreshingly light and ironic style,evident from the first sentence of the novel:“Everyone knows that a single man with a fortune must be in want of a wife”
她的作品的魅力还体现在她那清新明快而叉带点讽刺的写作风格上,这从小说的第一句就可以很清楚地看出来“众所周知.凡是有财产的单身汉必定需要娶一位太太。”引文作了改动,原旬是:It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife译文是:“凡是有财产的单身汉 这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。”
