–6May1910)愛德華七世，英國國王（1901年-1910年在位），維多利亞女王和阿爾伯特親王之子，曾在牛津與劍橋大學就讀。女王１９０１年駕崩后愛德華繼位為王，在位期間大力恢復因女王長久孀居而顯得黯淡英國君主制度之光榮。在維多利亞女王逝世之前，愛德華就已經(jīng)促進了英國、法國、俄國三國協(xié)約初步形成。繼位之后英、法、俄三國協(xié)約局面形成，經(jīng)過這個協(xié)約，英國穩(wěn)定了它在歐洲大陸地位。但這個同盟形成最終造成了第一次世界大戰(zhàn)暴發(fā)，所以有些人把一戰(zhàn)暴發(fā)歸咎于愛德華七世。4/48EdwardianEngland愛德華七世年輕時基本沒參加過國務，所以缺乏處理國事經(jīng)驗。但愛德華七世喜歡交際，為人和善可親，極受英國人民歡迎。盡管國王死后四年就暴發(fā)了毀滅英國第一次世界大戰(zhàn)，但在愛德華時代，英國還是維持了和平、繁榮、歌舞升平面貌，所以，當初英國流行一句諺語“假如你不想發(fā)生戰(zhàn)爭，就要有愛德華這么一位好國王”。愛德華七世所在時代，是華麗時代?？恐S多利亞時代積累鼎盛國力和巨大財富，他開創(chuàng)了奢華、浮躁、享樂統(tǒng)治格調，史稱“愛德華十年”。他同時也是20世紀英王朝建立者，一個享樂主義君王，一個文明世界主義者。5/48EdwardianEngland愛德華七世時期大英帝國非常富強，英國商船縱橫世界各地。不過，英國工業(yè)開始比不上其它國家。1890年，美國制造產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)比英國多。到了1904年，德國制造業(yè)也趕上英國。英國首批汽車是由德國、法國和美國制造。1909年，首次有飛機橫越英吉利海峽。船只陸續(xù)使用無線電或電報。電影院開始在英國出現(xiàn)，但劇院和音樂廳仍是廣受歡迎娛樂場所。彼時富人府邸又大又舒適，可能雇傭六七個家仆做飯、清掃和照料小孩。中產(chǎn)階級家庭安裝了電話和電燈。但窮人賺取工資很微薄，他們大都居住在市中心貧民區(qū)，居住環(huán)境惡劣。貧富懸殊情況非常嚴重。6/48EdwardianEngland所以，愛德華七世時期大英帝國盛極一時，有錢上層階級享受豐富物質生活，他們自信心高度膨脹，卻無法預見到當初歐洲大陸政治局勢發(fā)展，以及包含英國在內各方力量達成軍事協(xié)約，在很快未來會造成第一次世界大戰(zhàn)暴發(fā)，這場突如其來戰(zhàn)爭最終毀掉了這些上層階級人們舒適生活。7/48WordsandExpressions--ForewordUncannyadj.神秘;怪異;可怕;危險IhadthisuncannyfeelingthatAlicewaswarningme.我有一個奇怪感覺：艾麗斯是在警告我。It'suncannyhowmuchyouandElizabethlooklikesisters.奇怪是你和伊麗莎白看上去真像姐妹。8/48WordsandExpressions--ForewordDisruptiveadj.破壞;分裂性;擾亂Alcoholcanproduceviolent,disruptivebehavior酒精會引發(fā)暴力和破壞性行為。Ifastudentisdisruptiveduringclass,Iassignhimtodetention,withoutfurtherdiscussion.如學生于上課中擾亂，我就逕行留置，沒有商議馀地。Cf.disrupt,disruption9/48WordsandExpressions--ForewordNormn.規(guī)范;標準;準則;Deviationfromthenormisnottolerated.不能容忍離經(jīng)叛道行為。Butthat'sthenormthesedays.不過現(xiàn)在是很日常事了。假如坑騙成為了常態(tài)，那我們就麻煩大了。Ifcheatingbecomesthenorm,thenweareinbigtrouble.Cf.normal,abnormal,normalize,normaility10/48WordsandExpressions--ForewordGothic[‘ɡɑ:θ?k]哥特式;哥特式（建筑、字體）哥特（Goths）一詞最初來自于條頓民族中哥特部落名稱，中世紀時期“哥特”一詞演變?yōu)闄M蠻、恐怖、神秘和黑暗代名詞。以后又被用來指稱一個中世紀建筑格調，這種格調多用于教堂和古堡，其特點是擁有高聳尖頂、厚重石壁、幽暗內部和陰森地道等。哥特式文學是西方通俗文學一中，以恐怖、超自然、死亡、頹廢、巫術、古堡、深淵、黑夜、詛咒、吸血鬼等為標志性元素，偏愛黑暗凄涼場景，18世紀中后期作為小說體裁而逐步定型。哥特小說不像普通浪漫主義那樣從正面描繪理想社會、政治和道德觀念，而是經(jīng)過揭示社會邪惡和人性陰暗面來深入探索。/item/%E5%93%A5%E7%89%B9%E5%B0%8F%E8%AF%B4/2346298?fr=aladdin&fromid=10362098&fromtitle=%E5%93%A5%E7%89%B9%E5%BC%8F%E5%B0%8F%E8%AF%11/48WordsandExpressions—Para1Prsentlyad.當前;很快;馬上InbothBrEandAmE,presentlycanmean“soon”or“afterashorttime”.Iwillbewithyoupresently.我一會兒就來ButInAmEtheusualmeaningofpresentlyis“atthepresenttime”or“now”.SheispresentlylivinginMilanThereispresentlynocureforthedisease.ThisuseisbecomingmoreacceptedinBrE,butstillatpresentorcurrentlyaremorecommonlyusednow.12/48WordsandExpressions—Para1,2Self-possessedadj.冷靜；從容；Sheisclearlythemostarticulateandself-possessedmemberofherfamily.顯然，她是全家口才最好、最從容冷靜人。Endeavourv./n.努力，盡力Theyareendeavouringtoprotecttradeunionrights.他們在盡力捍衛(wèi)工會權利Hisfirstendeavoursinthefieldwereweddingfilms.他初涉這個領域時做是婚禮攝影。13/48WordsandExpressions—Para2Dulyad.
