篇一 :The Review of The Black Cat

Justice has long arms

G08710319 江振辉

Reading this novel, I feel deeply horrible. Personally, it is disastrous to live with this kind of man who is an alcoholic and is easy to lose his temper, especially when he is drunk. I am gloomy with the man’s behavior and have pity on the black cat and the man’s wife.

When I read The Black Cat, I saw a psycho, a murderer who cruelly killed a black cat loved by his wife, then brutishly murdered his wife instead of his second cat, and hid her carcass in the wall. I was confused with the behavior of the man who did all that damn things and wondering that what a terrible thing drove the man to lose his mind to do these. So I read again and again so as to find out the reason and figure out the answer.

In this short novel, all things happened strangely and weirdly. The man, the main character in this narrative, was very kind and obedient and loved pets very much in his younger age, but when he grew up and married his temper became badly and he was easy to lose temper and beat his wife and pets. One night, unexpectedly, under the influence of alcohol the man, like an evil advocator, violently grasped the poor beast by the throat and deliberately cut one of its eyes from the socket with a pen-knife. One morning, in cool blood, he slipped a noose about the black cat’s neck and hung it to the limb of a tree with the tears streaming from his eyes. One night, when the man did this cruel deed, he was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire and his whole property was swallowed up by the conflagration. One night, the man brought a black cat with a large, indefinite patch of white in its breast who endeared itself to his wife. One day, on the steep stairs, the man uplifted an axe in order to kill the cat. Instead, he assassinated his wife in his wrath. One day, in the damp and black cellar, where the man buried his wife’s carcass in the wall, a wailing shriek consigned the man to the prison and the man received the deserved retribution. All these plots are connected with the one-the black cat. In another words, the black cat is the clue of this narrative and represents a lot ofthings.

篇二 :The Black Cat

The Black Cat

For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not --and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified --have tortured --have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror --to many they will seem less terrible than baroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place --some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects.

篇三 :Analysis on the Causes of the Break of Father's American Dream in The Triumph of the Egg (中文版)

美国文学选读

“父亲”美国梦的缘起缘灭

——舍伍德·安德森《鸡蛋的胜利》解析 《鸡蛋的胜利》是美国著名的小说家舍伍德·安德森传世佳作之一。舍伍德·安德森生于美国俄亥俄州卡姆丹镇,后移居到克莱德镇,而且他的很多小说就以克莱德镇为背景进行创作,《鸡蛋的胜利》就是其中一篇。舍伍德·安德森能洞悉人们是如何追求美国梦的,也明了他们梦想是如何破碎的。在这篇小说的主人翁是“父亲”,一个本性天生乐观、热情,后来变得习惯性地沉默与失意的男人。安德森通过对“父亲”由原来胸无大志到后来雄心壮志再到最后梦想破碎的简单的描写,点明了本文的主题:美国梦的破灭;而文中的“鸡蛋”则可以说是美国梦的化身。那么,美国梦到底指什么呢?是什么刺激了“父亲”美国梦的产生?有时什么使得他的美梦破产了呢?本文将针对这些问题对《鸡蛋的胜利》进行解析。

首先,我们来探讨一下什么事“美国梦”?所谓的美国梦是指一种信任只要在美国经过努力不懈的奋斗便能获得更好生活的理想,亦即人们必须透过自己的工作勤恳、勇气、创意和决心迈向饭桶, 而非依附于特定的社会阶级和他人的援助。通畅这代表了人们在经济上的成功或是企业家的精神。在《鸡蛋的胜利》一文中,“父亲”的美国梦就是出人头地,能有所成功。所以,为了实现他的美国梦,他展开了他的冒险之旅:养鸡和开饭馆。但是,因为各种各样的原因,两个计划都失败了。一系列沉重的打击使得“父亲”的激情彻底消退,这也标志着他的美国梦彻底破灭。

在小说的最开始处,作者就告诉我们:“‘父亲’天生就是个乐观、热情的人。”他过着简单、快乐和满足的生活,从没想过要往社会上层爬,或是成为什么大人物。他每天过着规律的生活:平日到农场帮工挣钱,周六骑马到镇上喝几杯啤酒乐呵一下就按时回家;然后替他的马儿清洗一下就进入梦乡。可以说“父亲”的单身生活非常快乐,甚至是浪漫的。然而,一切似乎在他三十五岁那年结束单身生活后改变了。“父亲”娶了一个乡村小学女教师并且在次年就生下了“我”。在知识女性母亲的开导与启发下,“父亲”逐渐变得有雄心了,想着要出人头地。

U.S. declares Venezuela a national security threat, sanctions top officials

时事新闻摘抄USdeclaresVenezuelaanationalsecuritythreatsanctionstopofficials

(Reuters) - The United States declared Venezuela a national security threat on Monday and ordered sanctions against seven officials from the oil-rich country in the worst bilateral diplomatic dispute since socialist President Nicolas Maduro took office in 2013.

U.S. President Barack Obama signed and issued the executive order, which senior administration officials said did not target Venezuela's energy sector or broader economy. But the move stokes tensions between Washington and Caracas just as U.S. relations with Cuba, a longtime U.S. foe in Latin America and key ally to Venezuela, are set to be normalized.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro denounced the sanctions as an attempt to topple his government. At the end of a thundering two-hour speech, Maduro said he would seek decree powers to counter the "imperialist" threat, and appointed one of the sanctioned officials as the new interior minister.

篇七 :定性研究和定量研究的区别论文The Difference and Combination of Quantitative and Qualitative Research

The Difference and Combination of

Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Abstract: Quantitative research and qualitative research are two basic paradigms and methods, each with different concept, nature, fundamental theory, and research process. Recently, there are more and more arguments about the tow methods and more and more scholars promote the combination of them in researches. This thesis demonstrates the differences between the two methods and also analyzes the combination of them and its significance in researches.

Key words: Quantitative research, qualitative research, difference, combination

Section One The Introduction of Quantitative Research and Qualitative Research

There are two paradigms in social science research. One is the positivist methodology and the other is the humanist methodology. The positivist methodology simulates the natural science and uses inductive method to discover new knowledge, uses the “hypothesis-deduction” mode to test theory (Kerlinger, 1964), uses the method of mathematical statistics to analyze quantizable empirical observation and to assure the cause-and-effect relationship. In comparison, the humanist methodology derives from humanist science and emphasizes collecting, comprehending and explaining documents.

篇八 :The Black and White Truth about Basketball

The Black and White Truth about Basketball

——Jeff Greenfield

(也有人译为:黑人篮球和白人篮球的真谛)

真相:篮球中的黑与白

——杰夫·格林菲尔德

在职业篮球赛中,黑人球员的统治地位是毋庸置疑的。三分之二的篮球运动员都是黑人,如果不是为了平衡起见,不断挑选白人球员做替补的话,这个比例会更高。 近20年来,23个NBA最有价值球员奖都收入黑人囊中。可以说,NBA是第一个雇佣黑人教练和黑人总经理的热门运动团体。在这里,对于黑人的歧视比社会上的要少的多,比如访谈合约及产品代言机会的匮乏。

这种统治地位反映出一种自然的传承:篮球是城市穷人的娱乐。当今这一代篮球运动员,恰恰继承了半个世纪以来黑人篮球的传统:在没钱买垒球棒、网球拍、棒球 手套、曲棍球杆或橄榄球护肩的穷人区,弄到一个篮球显然更容易一些。大卫·沃夫在他轰动一时的著作《犯规》中写道:“篮球曾经是住在罗卡韦的爱尔兰人和意大利天主教徒,以及住在纽约布朗区福德姆路的犹太人之间经常玩的游戏。那是一种消磨时光、获取名声和发泄情绪的方式。”然而,现在玩篮球的人群变了:再也不是里德·霍尔兹曼,里德·奥尔巴哈和麦克盖尔兄弟,而是朱利叶斯·欧文,达里尔·道金斯和卡里姆·阿卜杜尔-贾巴尔。职业篮球赛也一跃成为能够得到全国电视转播签约和百万高薪的运动。

但是,衡量今天篮球运动员的标准不仅仅是身价及出镜率,这是一个个人风格的问题。在“黑人风”和“白人风”之间有一个明显的区别,就像第八大道上的155 号街与密苏里州的克里斯多市的差别那样。必须说明的是,我们在此谈论的不是染色体的问题,而是篮球文化。黑人篮球运用超高的运动技巧以适应比赛空间的硬性限制,而白人篮球则依靠强大的冲击力来突破狭小的空间。

现在,让我们坐下来好好想想,看看篮球场到底有多么狭小:把一块94×50英尺大小的篮球场放到一块足球场上,长度只能从禁区底边延伸到21码线,宽度还不到足球场的三分之一;如果放在一块钻石形状的垒球场上,只有从本垒到第一垒多一点儿那么长;再和同为室内运动的冰球场比一比,篮球场只能覆盖整个冰球比赛区的四分之一。另外,在整个篮球比赛过程中,大部分动作都发生在整个场地近篮框的三分之一处。这种比赛就像是把10个超过普通人群平均身高的大块头塞进一个洋娃娃的房子里,让他们凑在一起打群架一样。
