• 从Zeus和Jupiter看希腊文化和罗马文化的融合

  邢驰鸿;

  <正> 古代希腊、罗马是欧洲文明的发源地,也是世界文明的发源地之一,古希腊、罗马神话不仅在欧美文学史上具有深刻长远的影响,而且在世界文艺史上也曾经发挥了很大作用,它为后世的艺术家提供了取之不尽的创作源泉,英语中大量的词汇、习语、典故均来自希腊、罗马神话,所以对一个学习英语的人来说,了解希腊罗马神话,洞悉它们之间的相互影响,相互融合,无疑是非常重要的。Zeus(宙斯)是希腊神话中的主神,他统治着神灵和人的整个世界,是"众神和人类之父",是"明亮的闪电和黑云之神,他

• 阅读技巧漫谈

  李润强;

  <正> 英语的阅读有精读(intensive read-ing)与泛读(extensive reading)两种。为了增加词汇和扩大阅读量,除了精读外,我们也应该重视泛读这一环节。但泛读不是盲目地读,它也有一定的技巧,掌握了这些技巧,一则可以提高我们的阅读速度,二则可以使读者锻炼阅读理解能力。我想在本文中就我的教学体会谈几种阅读技巧。一、查阅法(Scanning)查阅法是一种查寻式阅读,它是从阅读材料中有目的、有选择地迅速查找某一具体事实或特定信息的技能,其要求是快速、准确。而没

• 从“boring”谈起

• 对“只能作表语的形容词”一文的几点商榷意见

  <正> 《英语学习》1998年第6期"只能作表语的形容词"一文使笔者收获很大,但笔者认为文中有几处表述过于偏颇,有商榷余地。特与大家一起探讨。一、原文中肯定地指出:以 A 开头的形容词只能作表语,而不能作前置定语。这种说法是与语言事实相悖的。对此,R.Quirk.的《英语语法大全》(中译本)P.557和章振邦的《新编英语语法》P.467明确指出:以 A 开头的形容词通常不能作前置修饰语,但当它们本身有副词修饰语时则又可以,此时一般表示抽象的行为。例如:
