一本真正的巨著應該在青年時期讀一遍，在成年和老年再各重讀一遍，恰如精美的建筑應該在晨光中，在正午的陽光和月光下都賞玩一番。羅伯森·戴維斯Literatureaddstoreality,itdoesnotsimplydescribeit.Itenrichesthenecessarycompetenciesthatdailyliferequiresandprovides;andinthisrespect,itirrigatesthedesertsthatourliveshavealreadybecome.C.S.Lewis文學補益現實，而不僅僅單純描繪現實。它豐富了我們應對日常俗務的能力，在這方面，它灌溉滋潤了我們已經淪為沙漠的生活。C.S.路易斯Part1:FamousQuotesLiteraturealwaysanticipateslife.Itdoesnotcopyit,butmouldsittoitspurpose.Thenineteenthcentury,asweknowit,islargelyaninventionofBalzac.

文學總是對生活做出預期，它并不照搬生活，而是按照自己的目的塑造生活。正如我們所知，十九世紀在很大程度上是巴爾扎克的發明。

奧斯卡·王爾德Part2:BackgroundknowledgeI.(1)TheShellandtheBookSee/files/10609/10609-h/10609-h.htm【背景知識】《英國文學：歷史及其對于英語世界的意義》(EnglishLiterature:ItsHistoryandItsSignificancefortheLifeoftheEnglishSpeakingWorld)是一本介紹上自盎格魯-薩克森，下至維多利亞時代的文學史著作。作者威廉·朗恩（WilliamJ.Long）在其中將各個時代最經典的文學作品及其作者置于各自所處的特定歷史時期加以考察，卻又不割裂其與整個英國歷史的聯系，可謂文學與歷史相得益彰。此外作者的寫作風格深入淺出，讀來饒有興味，有興趣了解英國文學或歷史的讀者均可從中獲益。本單元所節選的是該書第一章《導言：文學的含義》之第一部分，在這部分中，作者以類比的方式闡釋了欣賞和研究文學作品的兩種方式，趣味盎然卻發人深省。Vocabularymelodious [m??l??di?s] adj.旋律美妙的；音調優美的murmur[?m?:m?(r)] n.低聲說話apparently[??p?r?ntl?] adv.顯然curve[k?:v] n.弧線，曲線multitude [?m?lt?tju:d] n.大量，許多Vocabularyglimmer [?gl?m?(r)] v.發微光hollow [?h?l??] n.洞，坑await [??we?t] vt.等候；等待unconsciously [?n?k?n??sli] adv.無意識地；不知不覺essential

(Difficulty★★★)【背景知識】音頻中的小詩是曾經四次獲得普利策文學獎(ThePulitzerprizeinliterature)的美國著名詩人羅伯特·弗羅斯特（RobertFrost,1874——1963）的知名作品。在創作風格和技巧方面，弗羅斯特可謂獨一無二，卓爾不群，其生活兼跨19和20世紀，他一方面將19世紀美國文學傳統幾乎發揮到了極致，另一方面卻與20世紀的意象派詩人頗多共鳴。在寫作內容上，弗羅斯特詩作中頗多涉及田園景象，也因此常常被與艾米莉·狄金森（EmilyDickinson）和拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生（RalphWaldoEmerson）相提并論。他的詩曉暢易懂卻雋永深刻，看似簡單的人、物或事在他筆下往往呈現出神秘色彩和重大意義，學過這首詩讀者便會對此深有體會。Vocabularydiverge
