高中英語必修模塊3Unit3百萬英鎊-閱讀課件

內(nèi)容簡介《百萬英鎊》(TheMillionPoundNote)是美國著名作家馬克·吐溫一篇著名的中長篇說，描繪了在美國舊金山的一個小辦事員出海游玩，因故迷失方向后，幸被輪船遇救，然后隨船來到英國倫敦。他身無分文，非常孤獨，兩個富有的兄弟借給了他一張一百萬英鎊的支票，并以他在三十天內(nèi)不將這張支票兌換成現(xiàn)金而能否活下去打了一個賭。在小說的結(jié)尾，小人物不僅活過了三十天，并且利用這張百萬英鎊發(fā)了一筆財，還獲得了一位小姐的芳心。但由始至終從來沒兌換過這張支票。小說通過小辦事員的種種“歷險”嘲弄了金錢在資產(chǎn)階級社會叱咤風云、呼風喚雨的作用，文章以其略帶夸張的藝術(shù)手法再現(xiàn)大師小說中諷刺與幽默，揭露了20世紀初英國社會的拜金主義思想。馬克·吐溫是他筆名，意思是：水深十二英尺，輪船可以安全通過。原名是塞繆爾·朗荷恩·克列門斯，生于密蘇里州的佛羅里達。父親是一名鄉(xiāng)村律師，家中生活拮據(jù)。12歲時父親去世，他開始自謀生計，先當過報童、印刷所學(xué)徒、排字工、后來在密西西比河上當水手和舵手。兒時生活的貧窮和長期的勞動生涯，不但為他以后的文學(xué)創(chuàng)作累積了素材，更鑄就了一顆正義的心。26歲時，他當上了記者，并采用馬克·吐溫這個筆名發(fā)表作品。他的創(chuàng)作大致可分為三個時期：早期作品表現(xiàn)了對美國民主所存的幻想，以短篇為主，幽默與諷刺結(jié)合，批判不足，作品有《競選州長》《高爾斯的朋友再度出洋》等；中期以長篇小說為主，重要作品有《鍍金時代》《湯姆·索亞歷險記》《哈克貝利·費恩歷險記》《王子與貧兒》等；后期作品則由幽默諷刺轉(zhuǎn)到憤怒的揭發(fā)、譴責、甚至有悲觀的情緒，主要作品有《游記》《給范斯頓將軍辯護》等他們檢閱著一張張經(jīng)過窗前的臉。有的雖然老實，卻不夠聰明；有的夠聰明，卻不夠老實；還有不少又聰明又老實的，可人窮得不徹底；等到個赤貧的。又不是外地人——總是不能盡如人意。他笑著接了過去，這是那種無處不在的笑容，笑里有皺，笑里帶褶，一圈兒一圈兒的，就像往水池子里面扔了一塊磚頭；可是，只瞟了一眼鈔票，他的笑容就凝固了，臉色大變，就像你在維蘇威火山山麓那些平坎上看到的起起伏伏、像蟲子爬似的凝固熔巖。我從來沒見過誰的笑臉定格成如此這般的永恒狀態(tài)。這家伙站在那兒捏著鈔票，用這副架勢定定地瞅。經(jīng)典語句MarkTwain(SamuelLanghorneClemens)“LincolninAmericanLiterature”美國文學(xué)中的林肯Unit3TheMillionPoundBank-noteWarmingupandReadingWhatdoyouknowaboutMarkTwain?Doyouknowanyofhisworks?Thegreatesthumoristofthe19thcenturyAmericanliterature.Novels:TheAdventuresofTomSawyer(1876)(湯姆·索亞歷險記）ThePrinceandthePauper(1882)（皇子與貧兒）
