牛津譯林版高中英語選擇性必修一課件Unit2TheuniversallanguageReading19Understandingculturethroughmusic制作者：桂東一中李宇平◆

內容分析

【What】本板塊的話題是“通過音樂理解文化”。語篇是兩封交換生寫的電子郵件。第一封是外國學生介紹中國的小提琴協奏曲《梁?！?，重點描述了《梁?！芬魳泛凸适虑楣澲g相得益彰的匹配關系；第二封是中國學生介紹美國的鄉村音樂，作者在文中提及了鄉村音樂的主要風格，以及杰出音樂人約翰?·?丹佛和他的著名歌曲《鄉村路帶我回家》。

【Why】本板塊的語篇以交換生的視角分別介紹中國的《梁?！泛兔绹泥l村音樂，旨在幫助我們意識到音樂是全球性的語言，通過音樂可以了解不同文化，借助音樂可以促進跨文化交際。

【How】本板塊語篇的類型是電子郵件，兩封郵件共同的寫作特點如下：郵件主體部分主旨清晰、結構分明；由于是非正式文體，文中使用了很多口語化的表達方式，例如“Sogladtogetyouremail.”“Ibetyou’lllikeit!”“Whydon’tyoutrytolistentosomegreatcountrymusic?”等。兩封郵件也有一些各自的寫作特點：第一封郵件在描述音樂、故事情節、音樂營造的氛圍時，細致入微，使用了擬人等修辭手法，生動、形象地描繪了該樂曲的藝術魅力；第二封郵件在介紹美國鄉村音樂時選用了一段經典歌詞作為例子，來說明鄉村音樂的特點，給讀者以直觀的感受?！?/p>
