简介：Since the appeance of this play The Romance of the Western Chamber in the thirteenth century, it has enjoyed unparalleled popularity. The play has given rise to innumerable sequels, parodies, and rewritings; it has influenced countless later plays, short stories, and novels and has played a crucial role in the development of drama crilicism. The theme of the drama is an attack on feudal mores, supporting the longing of young people in those days for freedom of marriage, although it follows the timeworn pattern of a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady falling in love at first sight. This book, with plain words, intends to help foreign readers understand the story and appreciate classic Chinese opera.

Typology and Universala

作者：  [英]William Croft;沈家煊导读

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2000

简介：　　Comparison of the grammars of human lagnuages reveals systematic patterns of variation. research in typology and universals attempts to uncover those patterns. to formulate the universal constraints on language that define those patterns, and to seek explanations for the universals. In this volume, the first of its kind, william Croft provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the method and theory used in typology-universals research. together with an overview of basic grammatical differences between languages. He discusses theoretical issues ranging from the most fundamental-on what basis can the arammars of diverse languages be compared?-to the most absttact-what is the role of fuctional and historical explanation of language universals? -and gives extensive illustration from the world's languages. several case studies also provide extended examples of the methodologies applied to specific problems. As well as explicating basic concepts established in the last thirty years. current areas of typological research are thoroughly covered (including some discussion of phonological typology). The author demonstrates how complex patterns of cross-linguistic variation. such as hierarchies and prototypes. are built on the basic patterns of implicational universals and markedness. He also draws together contemporary research on cross-linguistic patterns of the form-meaning relation and on universals of language change, and shows how a new approach to limguistic explanation, the "functional-typological" or "dynamic" paradigm, has evolved in the last decade. 　　This textbook will appeal to scholars and students alike in linguistics and anthropology.

简介：Dreams I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May；that it was Easter Sunday，and as yet very early in the morning．1was standing，as it seemed to me，at the door of mv own cottage．Right before me lay the very scene which could re-ally be commanded~from that situation， but exalted。 as was usual，and solemnised by the power of dreams． Therewere the same mountains，and the same lovely valley attheir feet； but the mountains were raised to more thanAlpine height，and there was interspace far larger betweenthem of savannahs and forest lawns；the hedges were richwith white roses；and no living creature was to be seen。excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tran—quilly reposing upon the verdant graves，and particularlyround about the grave of a child whom I had once tenderlyloved，just as I had really beheld them，a little before sun—rise，in the same summer when that child died．I gazed uponthe well—known scene，and I said to myself，“It yet wantsmuch of sunrise；and it is Easter Sunday；and that is theday on which they celebrate the first——fruits of Resurrection．I will walk abroad；old griefs shall be forgotten to—day：for the air is cool and still，and the hills are high，andstretch away to heaven；and the churchyard is as verdant asthe forest lawns，and the forest lawns are as quiet as thechurchyard；and with the dew I can wash the fever from myforehead；and then I shall be unhappy no longer．”I turned，as if to open my garden gate，and immediately I saw uponthe left a scene far different；but which yet the power ofdreams had reconciled into harmony．The scene was an ori—ental one：and there also it was Easter Sunday，and veryearly in the morning．And at a vast distance were visible，as a stain upon the horizon．the domes and cupolas of a great city an image or faint abstraction，caught perhaps in child—hood from some picture of Jerusalem．And not a bowshot from me，upon a stone，shaded by Judean~palms，there sata wom

出版社：浙江大学出版社,2007

简介：　　This bilingual course， consisting of 16 lectures， is designed to im-prove students' knowledge of English and American poetry.　In the firstchapter， I give a brief account of poetry ABC， including rules and formsof poetic composition. About 100 famous poems by 51 poets are selected.By reading these poems， students can enjoy the beauty of poetry in origi-nal. My brief introduction to the authors makes up a brief history of Eng-lish and American poetry. The selected poems have been translated intoChinese by myself： by reading the Chinese versions， students can have abetter understanding of English and American poetry and learn a bitabout translation skill. 　　 I have six years' experience of teaching the bilingual course， first inZhejiang University， then in Shaoxing College of Arts and Sciences， butI had no intention of publishing the lecture notes at all until my col-leagues encouraged me to print them. Without their encouragement andthe sponsorship from our college， the publication will remain a question，since poetry as a branch of learning is so declining in a highly-commercialized society.　I sincerely hope this textbook will stimulatestudents' interest for reading and enjoying English poetry，　so as toenhance their cultural quality.

Chicken Soup for the Single’s Soul

作者：  [美]Jack Canfield等编著

出版社：安徽科学技术出版社,2001

简介：　　Welcome to Chicken Soup for the Single's Soul/ For the first time in history,there are more single people than married people in our society. If you are reading this book,it is likely that you have never been married ,or have become divorced or widowed. 　　This is a book that shares the love,the challenges and the unique joys of being single. 　　Whether you are single by choice or by circumstance ,these stories will show you that you are not alone. 　　When we started this book,our intention was to compile a collection of stories that would address the many types of single people from the twenty year-old never married man or woman,to the fifty-year old divorcee,to the eighty-year old widower. And we discovered that the opportunities and challenges facing this diverse group of people are numerousand often inspiring. 　　For example, we included stories about being Single and Happy an unprecedented trend in our country. For the firsttime,many people are choosing to remain single for a lifetime -.-something that was almost inconceivable even twenty years ago. 　　On the other hand, it's impossible to talk about being single without addressing the desires that so many single people have regarding relationships. Many single people want to have a relationship ,and that's why we have included chapters on Dating and Finding Your Mate. 　　Still others are in the process of letting go of a relation ship or'grieving the loss of a love. 　　The stories in Single A gain deal with rebuilding life after divorce. The stories in Losing a Partner share experiences of healing after the death of a partner. 　　Then there are single parents! Thirty three percent of all families in the United States are now headed by a single parent. We hope the stories in Single Parenting will touch the hearts of single mothers and fathers everywhere and eneour age them on their journey. 　　One of the most rewarding aspects of working on this book has been discovering the strength and commitment many single people have to making their own lives fulfilling and enriching the lives of others. You will find their stories in our chapter on Making a Difference. 　　We have also included stories about the incredible support available in many ways for single people. In our chapter We Are Not Alone,we see the support that often appears when least expected or in miraculous ways. In the chapter called Friends and Family, we see the power of the support that comes from the deep bonds of family and important friend ships. 　　Finally,there's love. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. While we often think of love in terms of a mar riage or intimate relationship,it's very clear that love comes in many forms. And in a world where 50 percent of the population is now single, we recognize that love is not just for those in relationships. In fact,it is the common thread that binds the many different kinds of stories in Chicken Soup for the Single's Soul. 　　So in the spirit of love,we offer this book to single people everywhere. No matter what your circumstance in life as a sing e person,we hope these stor es open your heart and give you a vision of life's possibilities. May your path be filled with joy and the magical touch of love wherever you find it.

简介：《A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHINESE FICTION(中国小说史略)》内容简介：This book was written by Lu Hsun, pioneer and standard-bearer of modern Chinese literature, during the early 1920s. It is a study of the historicaldevelopment of Chinese fiction from early myths and legends down to well-developed long novels written at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The characteristics of various forms of fiction through the centuries, the development of these forms and their influence on each other are lucidly presented, while such major works as the novels Hung Lou Meng （A Dream of Red Mansions） and Shui Hu Chuan （Outlaws of the Marsh） are reviewed in detail. Chinese fiction had its roots in story-telling, and folk literature of this kind was despised by the feudal ruling class. The May 4th Movement of 1919 dealt a mortal blow to the feudal forces in Chinese culture. Then the study of this form of lit- erature began to make headway, Lu Hsun being one of the first to carry out researches in the field. This book, the earliest systematic study of the history ofChinese fiction by a Chinese writer, still exercises agreat influence among Chinese scholars. The English translation is illustrated with re-productions of early Chinese woodcuts.
