外研版精品英语资料（精校版）Module 1Pride and Prejudice话题导入简奥斯汀的代表作傲慢与偏见可谓传世经典，而魅力迫人的达西先生更是无数少女的最爱，1948年劳伦斯奥立弗就用古典雅致征服了少女的心，1995年BBC版本中的柯林法思更是成为完美达西的标准，新版本的马修麦克法登虽名不见经传，帅气的外形和更具威胁性的达西味道却给了影片更鲜活的生命。比起前几部作品中不甚抢眼的女主角，含苞待放的英伦玫瑰凯拉奈特丽显然美丽得耀眼，尽显古典气质的她锋芒毕露，银幕上的最佳伊丽莎白非她莫属！背景知识1.简奥斯汀（17751817）英国女小说家。生于乡村小镇斯蒂文顿，父亲是当地教区牧师。奥斯汀没有上过正规学校，在父母指导下阅读了大量文学作品。她20岁左右开始写作，共发表了6部长篇小说。1811年出版的理智和感伤是她的处女作，随后又接连发表了傲慢与偏见（1813）、曼斯菲尔德花园（1814）和爱玛（1815）。诺桑觉寺和劝导（1818）是在她去世后第二年发表的，并署上了作者真名。奥斯汀终身未婚，家道小康。由于居住在乡村小镇，接触到的是中小地主、牧师等人物以及他们恬静、舒适的生活环境，因此她的作品里没有重大的社会矛盾。她以女性特有的细致入微的观察力，真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地，尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情风波。她的作品格调轻松诙谐，富有喜剧性冲突，深受读者欢迎。从18世纪末到19世纪初，庸俗无聊的“感伤小说”和“哥特小说”充斥英国文坛，而奥斯汀的小说破旧立新，一反常规地展现了当时尚未受到资本主义工业革命冲击的英国乡村中产阶级的日常生活和田园风光，尽管反映的广度和深度有限，但对改变当时小说创作中的庸俗风气起了好的作用，在英国小说的发展史上有承上启下的意义。2. 傲慢与偏见简介：18世纪的英国，班纳特家的五个姐妹在母亲“凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太”思想的调教下健健康康地成长着。其中的四个姐妹简、玛丽、凯蒂和纳蒂娅也绝对赞同母亲的说法，寻找门当户对的心上人是她们最大的追求，然而聪明伶俐的二女儿伊丽莎白（凯拉奈特丽）则希望寻求更广阔的人生。 姐妹们平静的生活很快被新搬到镇上的两个年轻富家小伙子的到来打破。诚恳富有的宾格里和好友达西优越的条件让班纳特太太大为兴奋，她开始自作主张张罗起了女儿们结识两位小伙子的一切事宜。美丽的大女儿简赢得了宾格里的心，而在短暂的交往中，达西也深深地爱上了倔强聪慧的伊丽莎白。 然而出身富贵的达西常常表现出不可一世的傲慢，这令正直善良的伊丽莎白讨厌不已。因此，即使当达西不顾门第和财富的差距，勇敢地向她求婚，却依然遭到了拒绝。傲慢与偏见的爱情，在英国的小镇中悄悄展开引入型阅读Jane AustenJane Austen was born on 16 December,1775 at Steventon Parish, Hampshire, England. She was the seventh child and second daughter of the Rev. George Austen and Cassandra Leigh-Austen. When Cassandra, age 10, was sent away to school in Oxford, Jane begged to be sent along with her even though she was too young. Mr. Austen, however, couldnt really afford their schooling and the girls were back home after less than three years. Apart from this, Jane never lived outside of her family circle again. She ended up very well-educated for a female, though. Her oldest brother James helped her out by organizing reading lists for her, and Jane could lay claim to a good knowledge of history as well as a little Latin, Italian and musical training.It was 1787 when Jane made the decision to devote all her spare time to writing. This early work made three volumes of Juvenilia, and you can see all that satire just dying to come out. In 1791, she wrote a parody of Oliver Goldsmiths History of England. A few years later, when she was only about nineteen, she started work on Lady Susan, an epistolary novel which was Janes first attempt at a serious theme. It didnt work well in the format she used, but it was good enough to encourage her to keep going. She began another epistolary novel in 1795, which was titled Elinor and Marianne, and 1796 saw the beginning of First Impressions. Though she began another novel during a period of remission, Janes health was very poor. She probably had the thenunnamed Addisons Disease, which attacks the adrenal glands and is still incurable today. In April of 1817, Jane quietly made her will, and left everything, except two small bequests, to her beloved Cassandra. She died early on the morning of 18 July 1817, with Cassandra at her side.
