前言

  初学英语时,只要用功就能见成效,但是达到一定水平后,就很难再有一个质的飞跃和突破。国学大师季羡林先生曾就此现象,有过生动比喻:学习外语的人好像是一群鲤鱼,在外语的龙门下浮游,如果跳不过去龙门,他就是一条“鲤鱼”,而永远成不了外语的“龙”。怎样跳过龙门,成为外语的“龙”呢?国内许多著名英语教育学家都一致认为:学习语言必须了解其国家政治、经济、文化、历史、地理等诸方面,因为语言与生活习惯、思维方式、历史习俗、社会事件、经济发展息息相关。由此可见,跨越英语的“龙门”的关键是知其风俗,通其文化,懂其历史。

章节摘录

  The Tudors reigned from 1485 until 1603. The five sovereigns of the Tudordynasty are among the most well-known figures in Royal history. Of Welshorigin, Henry VII succeeded in ending the Wars of the Roses between the housesof Lancaster and York to found the highly successful Tudor house. HenryVll, hisson Henry VIII and his three children Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I ruled for118 eventful years.  During this period, England developed into one of the leading Europeancolonial powers, with men such as Sir Walter Raleigh taking part in theconquest of the New World. Nearer to home, campaigns in Ireland brought thecountry under strict English control.  Culturally and socially, the Tudor period saw many changes. The Tudorcourt played a prominent part in the cultural Renaissance taking place inEurope, nurturing all-round individuals such as William Shakespeare, EdmundSpenser and Cardinal Wolsey.  The Tudor period also saw the turbulence of two changes of officialreligion, resulting in the martyrdom of many innocent believers of bothProtestantism and Roman Catholicism. The fear of Roman Catholicism inducedby the Reformation was to last for several centuries and to play an influentialrole in the history of the Succession.Henry VII (1485~1509)  Henry VII was the founder of the Tudor dynasty, unifying the warringfactions in the Wars of the Roses. Although supported by Lancastrians andYorkists alienated by Richard IIls usurpation, Henry Vlls first task was tosecure his position. In 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter ofEdward IV, thus uniting the Houses of York and Lancaster.

  •   常规课本,帮别人买的,看起来还可以。
  •   因为上大学的时候订过这本书,让我搬家的时候弄丢了一本,所以又来买齐,这个和我买的那个质量没法比,无论是书皮还是内部的纸张普遍偏薄,内部书页颜色偏暗,两相对比感觉是盗版的一样,我那本虽然用了三四年,但是纸页比新买这本好多了,快递人很好,送来的时候下雨但是书一点都没有湿。
