英語人文讀本·英國篇

內(nèi)容概要

漢語中的“人文”意指人類社會(huì)的各種文化現(xiàn)象，語出《易·賁》：“文明以止，人文也。觀乎天文，以察看時(shí)變；觀乎人文，以化成天下?！痹诶≌Z中humanities主要指人性和教養(yǎng)．但隨著人類文明史的延綿，人文在廣義上不僅涉指社會(huì)現(xiàn)象和文化藝術(shù)。而且生成了包括哲學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、政治學(xué)、史學(xué)、法學(xué)、文藝學(xué)、倫理學(xué)、語言學(xué)、文學(xué)等相對于自然科學(xué)的學(xué)科領(lǐng)域，稱為人文學(xué)科(humanities)。《英語人文讀本·英國篇》并不收錄人文學(xué)科的研究著述，也不是羅列或展示當(dāng)今社會(huì)中的萬千氣象。該書旨在引領(lǐng)讀者避開當(dāng)下喧囂和浮躁的氛圍，進(jìn)入一種冷靜的人文思考。    本書收錄的文章主題重經(jīng)典意義和收藏價(jià)值。內(nèi)容涉及倫理道德、宗教習(xí)俗、婚姻家庭、人際關(guān)系、大眾文化、人文修養(yǎng)、心理健康、語言文學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)政治、哲學(xué)美學(xué)等。寫作體裁不限，包括議論文、散文、短篇自傳、隨筆、短篇小說等。每篇選文讀來或是溫馨甜蜜?；蚴前l(fā)人深思，或是深情雋永，或是詼諧幽默，具有驅(qū)惡趨善．規(guī)諫或激勵(lì)人生的精神作用。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　But this is, clearly, not the whole story. The modern cult of beautyis not exclusively a function （in the mathematical sense） of wealthIf it were, then the personal appearance industries would have beenas hardly hit by the trade depression as any other business. But, aswe have seen, they have not suffered. Women are retrenching onother things than their faces. The cult of beauty must therefore besymptomatic of changes than have taken place outside the economicsphere. Of what changes？ Of the changes, I suggest, in the status Ofwomen; of the changes in our attitude towards "the merely physical.　　Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past. Freer not only toperform the generally unenviable social functions hitherto4 reservedto the male, but also freer to exercise the more pleasing, feminineprivilege of being attractive. They have the right, if not to be lessvirtuous than their grandmothers, at any rate5 to look less virtuous.The British Matron not long since a creature of austere and eventerrifying aspect, now does her best to achieve and perenniallypreserve the appearance of what her predecessor would have describedas a Lost Woman. She often succeeds. But we are not shocked——atany rate, not morally shocked.
