英文经典名着段落赏析 【篇一】英文经典名着段落赏析 In the winter of 1997, I saw a Spanish film called Abre Los Ojos. I couldn”t get it out of mymind. The movie felt like a folk song to me, part fable, part poem, partly a committedconversation that you”d have with someone late at night when big ideas flowed easily. Iwanted to be a part of that conversation. As all movies do, Vanilla Sky, a title I thought had akind of musical quality, acquired a driven adrenalinalized personality all its own. Much of thesame crew had worked on Almost Famous. We made the two movies back to back and theycouldn”t have been more beautifully dissimilar. Visuals mattered a lot on this one, especiallythe opening sequence where we emptied Times Square on an early November morning.Working with the great John Toll was key. He had been the cinematographer on AlmostFamous and while that movie had a free flowing documeturish feel, this one would be evenmore demanding. Not a shot would go unplanned, not an image wasted. The goal was a movie filled with clues and signposts, kind of like the cover of SergeantPepper, every time you look at it, you might see something different. We all pitched in to tellthis odd and intoxicating story about dreams and reality. Often after we”d rapped for theevening, many of us still stayed behind and talked about the layers of the movie even while wewere making it. Not quite 2 years later, we still do. Vanilla Sky isn”t obvious. It”s a movie to be watched closely, but it”s also a movie you can letwash over you. It”s a story, a puzzle, a nightmare, a lucid dream, a 1psychedelic popsong, a movie to argue over and most of all, a movie that extends an invitation. Wherever youwant to meet it, it will meet you there. 【篇二】英文经典名着段落赏析 On beauty Where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her unless she herself be your way andyour guide? And how shall you speak of her except she be the weaver of your speech? The aggrieved and the injured say, “Beauty is kind and gentle. Like a young mother half-shy of her own glory she walks among us.“ And the passionate say, “Nay, beauty is a thing of might and dread. Like the tempestshe shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us.“ The tired and the weary say, “Beauty is of soft whisperings. She speaks in our spirit. Hervoice yields to our silences like a faint light that quivers in fear of the shadow.“ But the restless say, “We have heard her shouting among the mountains, and with her criescame the sound of hoofs, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions.“ At night the watchmen of the city say, “Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.“ And at noon-time the toilers and the wayfarers say, “We have seen her leaning overthe earth from the windows of the sunset.“ In winter say the snow-bound, “She shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills.“ And in the summer heat the reapers say, “We have seen her dancing with the autumnleaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair.“ All these things have you said of beauty, yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needsunsatisfied, and beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor anempty hand stretched forth, but rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is notthe image you would see nor the song you would hear, but rather an image you see thoughyou close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. It is not the sapwithin the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, but rather a garden for everin bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. 【篇三】英文经典名着段落赏析 Most people complain of fortune, few of nature; and the kinder they think the latter has beento them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former. Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the commonexpostulation with fortune; but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, ofsuch and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature. The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts moreequally than she is generally supposed to have done. Education and situation make the greatdifference. Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents I make no doubt but thatthere are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons,Caesars, Cromwells, and Mariboroughs at the ploughtail behind counters, and, perhaps, evenamong the nobility; but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit tohave all its spirit and flavour. If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even; ifone preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of
