美國(guó)文學(xué)導(dǎo)讀

內(nèi)容概要

文學(xué)是對(duì)人生體驗(yàn)的文化表征。文學(xué)作品隱含對(duì)生活的思考、價(jià)值取向和特定的意識(shí)形態(tài)。閱讀英美文學(xué)作品，是了解西方文化的一條重要途徑，可以接觸到支撐表層文化的深層文化，即西方文化中帶根本性的思想觀點(diǎn)、價(jià)值評(píng)判、西方人經(jīng)常使用的視角，以及對(duì)這些視角的批評(píng)。    美國(guó)文學(xué)是對(duì)時(shí)代生活的審美表現(xiàn)，是美國(guó)人民創(chuàng)造性使用英語語言的產(chǎn)物。英語表意功能強(qiáng)，文體風(fēng)格變化多，或高雅、或通俗、或含蓄、或明快、或婉約、或粗獷，其豐富的表現(xiàn)力和獨(dú)特的魅力在英美作家的作品里得到了淋漓盡致的發(fā)揮。閱讀優(yōu)秀的美國(guó)文學(xué)作品，可以感受到英語音樂性的語調(diào)和五光十色的語匯，回味其“弦外之音”。通過文本的學(xué)習(xí)提高文學(xué)閱讀、理解與鑒賞能力以及口頭與書面表達(dá)等語言技能，并且通過大量閱讀加強(qiáng)對(duì)文學(xué)本質(zhì)的意識(shí)，提高綜合人文素質(zhì)，增強(qiáng)對(duì)西方文學(xué)及文化的理解。    《美國(guó)文學(xué)導(dǎo)讀》是根據(jù)外語教學(xué)與研究出版社出版、吳偉仁教授主編的《美國(guó)文學(xué)史及選讀》（第1、2冊(cè)）而編寫的學(xué)習(xí)指導(dǎo)用書。該書每章由美國(guó)文學(xué)各個(gè)時(shí)期背景知識(shí)、作家創(chuàng)作生涯、主要作品的概要和點(diǎn)評(píng)、代表作品藝術(shù)特色分析四個(gè)部分構(gòu)成。該書分別從《美國(guó)文學(xué)史及選讀》（第1、2冊(cè)）涉及的背景知識(shí)、主要作家代表作的主題思想、人物性格刻畫、象征與隱喻、寫作風(fēng)格、作品章節(jié)等方面進(jìn)行了全面的分析和解讀，為跨進(jìn)美國(guó)文學(xué)殿堂的人們提供快捷的通道，使他們?cè)谳^短的時(shí)間內(nèi)了解美國(guó)文學(xué)的精華。通過閱讀該書，學(xué)生不僅能了解和認(rèn)識(shí)美國(guó)文學(xué)史上一些較有影響的作家的創(chuàng)作傾向、思想方法、在文學(xué)史上的地位和成就以及對(duì)本國(guó)文學(xué)乃至世界文學(xué)所產(chǎn)生的影響等等，而且能初步掌握一些名家的代表作品的思想意義、文學(xué)價(jià)值、寫作手法、語言技巧等，為他們畢業(yè)后的考研、教學(xué)、研究打下一定的基礎(chǔ)。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　12. 2. 2 Summary of Moby.Dick （ Chapter 54）　　This story is as told at the Golden Inn by Ishmael some time after the voy age on the Pequod. The Pequod encounters the TownHo, manned almost wholly by Polynesians that, during a gam, gave the Pequod strong news of Moby Dick. Ishmael tells the story by the TownHo as he would later tell it at Lima to a cir cle of Spanish friends. He tells how the TownHo had been stabbed, presumably by a swordfish, and was taking on water, but would have reached port safely if not for the brutal overbearing of Radney, the mate, and Steelkih, a Lakeman from Buffalo. Radney becomes concerned as the TownHo takes on more water, for he is naturally nervous and cowardly. He also has a large investment in the ship. Steelkilt mocks Radney for his concern over the ship.　Radney orders Steelkih to sweep the deck of the ship, but he refuses to do so. The conflict be tween Radney and Steelkih nearly leads to a mutiny, as the captains threaten to have the crew flogged for disobeying. Nearly a dozen of the mutineers are locked in the bottom of the ship, but most surrender, leaving Steelkih with only several supporters. Steelkih convinces them to burst out of their hole and rum amuck in order to seize the ship. Radney quells this uprising by Steelkih, who plans his revenge. The TownHo comes upon Moby Dick just as Steelkih is ready to attack again. When Moby Dick attacks, he crushes Radney between his jaws. The TownHo escapes and reaches her port where many desert the ship. The ships company calls upon the Islanders to assist. Steelkilt finds his way to Tahiti and finds two ships about to sail for France.
