前言
《西方思想經典閱讀》選取自古希臘羅馬一直到二十世紀各個時期的經典(英文)原著,力求從總體上勾勒出西方人文思想的發(fā)展脈絡,反映西方歷史文化的一個側面?! ∥鞣饺宋乃汲笔俏鞣轿拿鲾登臧l(fā)展的積累,是西方文化的精華。學習西方文化思想典籍,閱讀西方宗教、政治、社會、經濟、哲學、科學及人文思潮領域里有代表l生的著述,有助于學生從宏觀上了解和把握西方人文思潮的發(fā)展脈絡,提高對西方歷史文化的整體認識,改善知識結構,提高綜合素質。 西方經典原著的文字比較艱澀,內容比較生疏,這些文字和思想常常博大精深,涉及人類知識的多個方面。要和這些思想形成交流和對話,需要學習者具有一定的知識儲備,較好的知識結構,還需要養(yǎng)成邏輯分析和歸納總結的習慣,逐步提高理解和領悟能力?! 槭裁匆糜⒄Z來閱讀這些原著?首先,本教材輯選的許多著作原本就是用英語寫成;其次,歐洲思想一貫相互借鑒,大陸思潮對英美思想界產生過巨大的影響,反之亦然;用英語閱讀可以直接接觸原文,避免閱讀譯文可能會產生的誤解。另外,用英語初步把握這些思想的精要也可以提高文科研究生的人文素質和專業(yè)素質,提高跨文化交際的能力。 為了加強對西方思想的把握和理解,在學習西方思想的同時,本教材提供了相應的中國人文背景,嘗試中西對比,對同一議題從不同視角進行關照,培養(yǎng)在較高層次上使用雙語進行文化溝通、思想交流的能力。這是本教材的一個特色:連接古今,打通中西,在跨時代、跨語境、跨文化、跨知識領域的環(huán)境下領會與把握中西文化的精髓,有如錢鐘書先生在《管錐編》“前言”中所說:研習中西,貴在“打通”?! ”窘滩牡牧硪粋€特點是增加了大量的圖片。西方思想文字較為艱澀,內容也常常很抽象,圖片則比較直觀,可以增加一些感性印象,或許有助于對思想的理解和接受。視覺反映對文字閱讀有直接的幫助,在哈佛大學圖書館翻閱愛米麗.狄金森的照片和詩歌手稿,和面對市面上出版的狄金森選讀,感覺是大不一樣的:除了能更加直接地了解詩人的成長、揣摩詩歌的創(chuàng)作過程之外,感情上也能和她靠得更近。電腦時代,“手稿”和“手跡”之類的文獻越來越少見,但是“文”與“人”齊出,仍然不失為一種增加閱讀興趣、加深閱讀理解的做法?! ”窘滩奶峁┝吮M可能多的背景介紹和大量的中英文注釋,以幫助提高閱讀速度。這些單詞釋義、語言解釋和背景介紹只是為了方便理解,很多單詞釋義提供的只是最接近的字面意義,其確切的含義還需要讀者根據上下文進行補充和修正。

章節(jié)摘錄
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light": and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.1 And God said, "Let there be a firmament (天空) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear": and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed (結果的植物), and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose2 seed is in itself, upon the earth": and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
