他痛感19世纪与20世纪之交的欧洲是一个***动不安,弥漫着腐败风气的社会,是一个需要伟人的社会,他为此写了《名人传》。叙述贝多芬,米开朗琪罗和托尔斯泰的苦难和坎坷的一生,赞美他们高尚品格和顽强奋斗的精神。他是谁呢,他就是20世纪上半叶法国著名的人道主义作家罗曼·罗兰。
罗曼·罗兰是一个非常爱国的人道主义作家。《名人传》是其代表作之一。《名人传》与其他传统不同,《名人传》使我们看到了德国音乐家贝多芬,意大利画家和雕塑家米开朗琪罗。俄国作家列夫·托尔斯泰他们与常人一样有自己的痛苦,挣扎和矛盾。尽管他们的事业不同,贡献不同,所处的时代和国家不同,但都是各自领域里的`常人。他们在肉体上和精神上经历了人生的种种磨难,却为创造不朽的杰作,贡献了毕生的精力。罗曼·罗兰指出人生的坎坷,生活中充满了贫困,忧虑,孤独和辛劳,人们却彼此隔膜不懂得互相安慰,所以他写《名人传》。要把伟大的力量献给受苦难的人们,使其得到安慰。
罗曼·罗兰认为英雄的伟大不在于他的体魄,而在于他的心灵及其品格。他认为唯有实在的苦难,才能使人不抱幻想,直面人生;唯有真实的苦难,才能使人经受残酷的命运。因此,伟人们的生活往往是长期受难,他们的身心遭受悲惨,命运的折磨,然而也正是忧患造就他们的们的未来。贝多芬、米开朗琪罗这样的人才竟然终身未婚,未能享受他们真正的爱情,而托尔斯泰夫妻之间持续数十年的不理解,这是他的悲剧最直接根源。他们在社会上受到了最冷酷的对待。贝多芬面对的是怀着敌意的城市维也纳,他的音乐受到了欢呼,他的困难却无人过问;米开朗琪罗除了为教皇服务外,他每从事一项工程,都必然遭到一些卑鄙下流之士出于嫉妒和怨恨,对他进行恶毒的攻击,托尔斯泰面对的则是整个贵族上流社会,以免于被认为“叛教者”,从而开除了教籍。
贝多芬写给友人阿芒达牧师的信中提到耳聋之事,可想而知,耳朵对于音乐家而言是多么重要!不仅影响自己的工作,也导致他过着孤独凄凉的生活,这一切可以看到当时社会的冷酷无情,人与人之间的冷漠、自私。
从《贝多芬传》的最后一段可以看出贝多芬的伟大,不仅在于他是杰出的音乐家,而是因为他的音乐是为苦难的人们而写的,他隐藏自己的痛苦,却用他的痛苦换来欢乐来安慰人们,给人们一种力量。
一个遭受不幸和排斥的人,要在孤独中死去,要么不屈服地抗争,这三们伟人属于后者,贝多芬在生命的末日写出了不朽的《欢乐颂》,米开朗琪罗直到临终的几天还刮着雕像,终于留下传世巨作,托尔斯泰直到生命最后一刻,才下定了摆脱贵族的决心。
他们为我们树立了高大的形象,罗曼·罗兰的写作技术值得我们肯定,要想独树一帜,就要寻求最佳解决途径,要有成功的心态,有成功心态者,处处都能发觉成功的力量。
耳边回响起铿锵的音乐。
1。 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、亲耳所闻的经历。它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,使人到真实可信,如身临其境。如:
The other day, I was driving along the street。 Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast。 I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side。 But it was too late。 The car hit my bike and I fell off it。
用第三人称叙述,优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制,而是通过作者与读者之外的第三者,直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前,文章的客观性很强。如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard。 On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover。 Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short。 What could he do? Then he had a good idea。
2。 动词的时态
在记叙文中,记和叙都离不开动词。所以动词出现率最高,且富于变化。记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的',这是英语记叙文区别于汉语记叙文的关键之处。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,正是这一点才使得所记、所叙有鲜活的动态感、鲜明的层次感和立体感。
3。 叙述的顺序
记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。无论是顺叙、倒叙、插叙还是补叙,都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。顺叙最容易操作,较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,读起来平淡乏味。倒叙、插叙、补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果,让所叙之事跌宕起伏,使读者在阅读时思维产生较大的跳跃,从而为文章所吸引,深入其中。但这些方法如果使用不当,则容易弄巧成拙,使文章结构散乱,头绪不清,让读者不知所云。
4。 叙述的过渡
过渡在上下文中起着承上启下、融会贯通的作用。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things。 Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao。 It is really a beautiful city。 There are many places of interest to see。 But what impressed me most was the sunrise。
The next morning I got up early。 I was very happy because it was a fine day。 By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red。 In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing。 The sun was very red, not shining。 It rose slowly。 At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball。 At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright。
What a moving and unforgettable scene!
5。 叙述与对话
引用故事情节中主要人物的对话是记叙文提高表现力的一种好方法。适当地用直接引语代替间接的主观叙述,可以客观生动地反映人物的性格、品质和心理状态,使记叙生动、有趣,使文章内容更加充实、具体。试比较下面两段的叙述效果:
I was in the kitchen, and I was cooking something。 Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the front。 I thought maybe someone was knocking the door。 I asked who it was but I heard no reply。 After a while I saw my cat running across the parlor。 I realized it was the cat。 I felt released。
这本来应是一段故事性很强的文字,但经作者这么一写,就不那么吸引人了。原因是文中用的都是叙述模式,没有人物语言,把“悬念”给冲淡了。可作如下调整:
I was in the kitchen cooking something。 "Crash!" a loud noise came from the front。 Thinking someone was knocking at the door, I asked, "Who?" No reply。 After a while, I saw my cat running across the parlor。 "It's you。" I said, quite released。
导入:
第1段:Some people hold the opinion that A is superior to B in many ways. Others, however, argue that B is much better. Personally, I would prefer A because I think A has more advantages.
正文:
第2段:There are many reasons why I prefer A. The main reason is that ... Another reason is that...(赞同A的原因
第3段: Of course, B also has advantages to some extent... (列出1~2个B的优势
结论:
第4段: But if all these factors are considered, A is much better than B. From what has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that ...(得出结论 オ
夏日,静好。如水的日子散发着淡淡的清欢,花香鸟鸣的清晨,喜欢依着一杯茶的馨香,倚在窗前,看天上白云轻轻飘过,任光阴静静的在指尖流淌,让一颗被尘世烟火渲染的心渐渐沉静下来,默念一份心灵的温婉,拥有一段清寂的时光。
一直认为最好的心境,不是避开车水马龙,而是在心中修篱种菊。尘世的纷纷扰扰,总是会让人倦了累了,找一个清闲的午后,关上心灵窗子,隔绝人世的喧嚣,一杯茶,一本书,便是一段静谧的光阴。茶,便可以品尝人生的百味;书可以找回心灵的皈依。轻拥一米阳光入怀,和着书香,任流淌的心事,在季节中浅漾,生命就在这悠然的时光中婉约成一朵花。
与文字相依相偎的日子,天是蓝的,风是轻柔的,心是清宁的,光阴是美的。拈一指墨香,江南的清韵,唐诗宋词的婉约,于微雨红尘处,观一朵莲的超凡脱俗,赏一抹山水的灵气,让风儿吹去满心的疲惫,让云儿拂去眉间的烦恼,将唯美写进诗行,将爱恋寄情山水,将温暖一路铭记,在清净的文字中邂逅自己,静静地享受春花开的绚丽,秋叶落的静美。任时光之笔在岁月的纸笺上写下沧桑,独守清欢,文字生香,便是人间好时节。
素来喜欢那种浅淡的芬芳,一如兰花的清香,不张扬,不厚重,却也芬芳怡人。淡是人生的底色,淡如水,是生命的源泉;淡如清风,轻柔悠然。行走在尘世间,千般经历,万般找寻,最美不过拥有一颗淡然的心。淡,在岁月里;静,在心里;而清欢,则在眉眼间。拈一颗素于流年里,褪却指尖浮华,揽一份悠闲和诗意,与时光对饮,拈花浅笑,在光阴的角落里,寻一处心灵的桃花源,任时光散尽,岁月荏苒,暮然回首,希望我们仍还有一颗清澈如初的心。
推荐阅读:
1。 头绪分明,脉络清楚
写好记叙文,首先要头绪分明,脉络清楚,明确文章要求写什么。要对所写的事件或人物进行分析,弄清事件发生、发展一直到结束的整个过程,然后再收集选取素材。这些素材都应该跟上述五个“ W ”和一个“ H ”有关。尽管不是每篇记叙文里都必须包括这些“ W ”和“ H ”,但动笔之前,围绕五个“ W ”和“ H ”进行构思是必不可少的。
2。 突出中心,详略得当
在文章的框架确定后,对支持故事的素材的选取是很关键的。选材要注意取舍,应该从表现文章主题的需要出发,分清主次,定好详略。要突出重点,详写细述那些能表现文章主题的重要情节,略写粗述那么非关键的次要情节。面面俱到反而使情节罗列化,使人不得要领。这一点是写好记叙文要解决的一个基本问题,也需要一定的技巧。如:
One night a man came to our house and told me, "There is a family with eight children。 They have not eaten for days。" I took some food with me and went。
When I finally came to that family, I saw the faces of those little children disfigured (破坏外貌) by hunger。 There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger。
I gave the rice to the mother。 She divided the rice in two, and went out, carrying half the rice。 When she came back, I asked her, "Where did you go?" she gave me this simple answer, "To my neighbors — they are hungry also!"
3。 用活语言,准确生动
记叙文要用具体的事件和生动的语言对人、事、物加以叙述。一篇好的记叙文的语言既要准确、生动,又要表现力强,这样才能把人、事描写得具体生动,其可读性才强。试比较下面一篇例文修改的前后效果。
原文:
One day Xiaoqiang was wandering away。 He was soon lost among people and traffic。 He could not find the way back home and started crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by found him standing alone in front of a shop and crying。 They went up to Xiaoqiang and asked him what had happened。 Xiaoqiang told them how he got lost and where he lived。 The two students decided to take him home。 Mother was pleased to see Xiaoqiang come back safe and sound。 She invited the two students into the house and gave them some money, but they didn't take it。 She served them with tea but they left。
修改后:
The other day, five-year-old Xiaoqiang left home alone and wandered happily in the street。 After some time, he felt hungry so he wanted to go back home。 But he found he was lost among the crowded people and heavy traffic。 When he could not find the way home, he started and crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by from school found him sanding crying in front of a shop。 They immediately went up to him。
"Little boy, why are you standing here crying?" they asked。
"I want Mom, I go home。" said the boy, still crying。
"Don't worry, we'll send you home。"
And they spent the next two hours looking for the boy's house。 With the help of a policeman, they finally found it。
When the worried mother saw her son come back safe and sound, she was so thankful and she invited the students into her house。 Gratefully, she offered them some money, saying it was a way to express her thanks, but the young students firmly refused it and left without even a cup of tea。
导入:
第1段:提出一种现象或某个决定作为议论的话题
As a student, I am strongly in favour of the decision. (亮明自己的观点是赞成还是反对
The reasons for this may be listed as follows. (过渡句,承上启下
正文:
第2段:First of all... Secondly... Besides...(列出2~3个赞成或反对的`理由
结论:
第3段:In conclusion, I believe that... (照应第1段,构成"总—分—总"结构
