前言
隨著全球化時(shí)代的到來(lái)和改革開(kāi)放的深入,國(guó)際間跨文化合作日益增多,同時(shí),各行各業(yè),對(duì)具有扎實(shí)的外語(yǔ)知識(shí)技能和廣博的全球文化知識(shí)的人才的需求也日益迫切。2004年,國(guó)家教育部高等教育司公布的《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求》明確地把學(xué)生“文化意識(shí)”的培養(yǎng)列入到英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中,認(rèn)為在英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的文化意識(shí)與培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言意識(shí)、語(yǔ)言技能同等重要。語(yǔ)言教學(xué)不僅包括語(yǔ)言知識(shí)的教學(xué),而且包括文化知識(shí)的教學(xué)。只有充分了解目標(biāo)語(yǔ)言國(guó)的歷史文化,學(xué)習(xí)者才能真正有效地掌握語(yǔ)言知識(shí),提高語(yǔ)言能力,更加有效地將這門語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用于實(shí)踐?!睹绹?guó)歷史文化概況(英文版)》將了解美國(guó)歷史文化知識(shí)與學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言技能結(jié)合在一起,是為高等學(xué)校英語(yǔ)專業(yè)學(xué)生和非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)本科學(xué)生、研究生編選的融文化與歷史知識(shí)為一體的新型英語(yǔ)教材。本書(shū)遵循“以人為本”的理念,從中國(guó)學(xué)生實(shí)際出發(fā),從不同方面向中國(guó)學(xué)生介紹美國(guó)的歷史與文化現(xiàn)象。全書(shū)共分15個(gè)單元,既涵蓋了美國(guó)歷史上的重大事件,如:殖民與獨(dú)立、西進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)、內(nèi)戰(zhàn)、世界大戰(zhàn)、經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條等,又涉及美國(guó)文化的方方面面,宏觀方面涵蓋了領(lǐng)土與環(huán)境、法律、節(jié)慶日、黑人奴隸、宗教與信仰等,微觀方面則包含了文學(xué)、藝術(shù)、建筑、運(yùn)動(dòng)、音樂(lè)、電影、科技、城市等大量?jī)?nèi)容,可謂是美國(guó)歷史文化的一部縮影。全書(shū)采用真實(shí)地道的語(yǔ)言材料,主要取材于國(guó)外報(bào)刊雜志以及相關(guān)歷史文獻(xiàn)資料,穿插圖表、照片等真實(shí)的視覺(jué)材料,表現(xiàn)手段活潑,效果生動(dòng)直觀。無(wú)論對(duì)廣大學(xué)生還是對(duì)美國(guó)歷史文化感興趣的其他學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō),本書(shū)都是一本了解美國(guó)、積累歷史文化知識(shí)、開(kāi)闊視野、啟發(fā)思路的良好讀物。通過(guò)本書(shū)的學(xué)習(xí)可以進(jìn)一步增進(jìn)中國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)美國(guó)歷史文化的了解,并透過(guò)歷史的表象了解美國(guó)文化核心,拓寬文化視野,從而進(jìn)一步提高跨文化交際的能力。本書(shū)可以作為英語(yǔ)專業(yè)知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)課——美國(guó)文化、美國(guó)歷史方向的專業(yè)課教材,也可以作為高等院校非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)本科學(xué)生和研究生公選課教材或課外泛讀教材,也可供歷史學(xué)專業(yè)美國(guó)史方向和對(duì)美國(guó)問(wèn)題饒有興趣的學(xué)生及希望通過(guò)對(duì)美國(guó)歷史與文化的學(xué)習(xí)來(lái)提高英語(yǔ)技能的讀者使用。

章節(jié)摘錄
插圖:In the field of world policy, I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor: the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others; the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.If I read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize, as we have never realized before, our interdependence on each other; that we can not merely take, but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective.We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and our property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at the larger good. This, I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us, bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems.Action in this image, action to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors. Our Constitution is so simple, so practical that it is possible always to meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form. That is why our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has ever seen.It has met every stress of vast expansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations. And it is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority may be wholly equal, wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure.
