美文視頻篇一:適合朗誦的散文_個人推薦
朱自清《匆匆》
推薦指數(shù):4.5
推薦理由:文字極好,適合配樂
原文:
燕子去了,有再來的時候;楊柳枯了,有再青的時候,桃花謝了,有再開的時候。但是,聰明的,你告訴我,我們的日子為什么一去不復返呢?——是有人偷了他們罷:那是誰?又藏在何處呢?是他們自己逃走了罷:現(xiàn)在又到了那里呢?
我不知道他們給了我多少日子;但我的手確乎是漸漸空虛了。在默默里算著,八千多日子已經(jīng)從我手中溜去;像針尖上一滴水滴在大海里,我的日子滴在時間的流里,沒有聲音,也沒有影子。我不禁頭涔涔而淚潸潸了。
去的盡管去了,來的盡管來著;去來的中間,又怎樣地匆匆呢?早上我起來的時候,小屋里射進兩三方斜斜的太陽。太陽他有腳!輕輕悄悄地挪移了;我也茫茫然跟著旋轉(zhuǎn)。于是——洗手的時候,日子從水盆里過去;吃飯的時候,日子從飯碗里過去;默默時,便從凝然的雙眼前過去。我覺察他去的匆匆了,伸出手遮挽時,他又從遮挽著的手邊過去,天黑時,我躺在床上,他便伶伶俐俐地從我身上跨過,從我腳邊飛去了。等我睜開眼和太陽再見,這算又溜走了一日。我掩著面嘆息。但是新來的日子的影兒又開始在嘆息里閃過了。
在逃去如飛的日子里,在千門萬戶的世界里的我能做些什么呢?只有徘徊罷了,只有匆匆罷了;在八千多日的匆匆里,除徘徊外,又剩些什么呢?過去的日子如輕煙,被微風吹散了,如薄霧,被初陽蒸融了;我留著些什么痕跡呢?我何曾留著像游絲樣的痕跡呢?我赤裸裸來到這世界,轉(zhuǎn)眼間也將赤裸裸的回去罷?但不能平的,為什么偏要白白走這一遭?

原文:
在蒼茫的大海上,狂風卷集著烏云。在烏云和大海之間,海燕象黑色的閃電,在高傲地飛翔。
一會兒翅膀碰著波浪,一會兒箭一般地直沖向烏云,它叫喊著,——就在這鳥兒勇敢的叫喊聲里,烏云聽出了歡樂。
在這叫喊聲里——充滿著對暴風雨的渴望!在這叫喊聲里,烏云聽出了憤怒的力量,熱情的火焰和勝利的信心。
海鷗在暴風雨來臨之前呻吟著,——呻吟著,它們在大海上飛竄,想把自己對暴風雨的恐懼,掩藏到大海深處。
海鴨也在呻吟著,——它們這些海鴨啊,享受不了生活的戰(zhàn)斗的歡樂:轟隆隆的雷聲就把它們嚇壞了。
蠢笨的企鵝,膽怯地把肥胖的身體躲藏在懸崖底下??只有那高傲的海燕,勇敢地,自
由自在地,在泛起白沫的大海上飛翔!
烏云越來越暗,越來越低,向海面直壓下來,而波浪一邊唱歌,一邊沖向高空,去迎接那雷聲。
雷聲轟響。波浪在憤怒的飛沫中呼叫,跟狂風爭鳴。看吧,狂風緊緊抱起一層層巨浪,惡恨恨地將它們甩到懸崖上,把這些大塊的翡翠摔成塵霧和碎末。
看吧,它飛舞著,象個精靈,——高傲的、黑色的暴風雨的精靈,——它在大笑,它又在號叫??它笑那些烏云,它因為歡樂而號叫!
這個敏感的精靈,——它從雷聲的震怒里,早就聽出了困乏,它深信,烏云遮不住太陽——是的,遮不住的!
狂風吼叫??雷聲轟響??
一堆堆烏云,象青色的火焰,在無底的大海上燃燒。大海抓住閃電的箭光,把它們熄滅在自己的深淵里。這些閃電的影子,活象一條條火蛇,在大海里蜿蜒游動,一晃就消失了。
——暴風雨!暴風雨就要來啦!
這是勇敢的海燕,在怒吼的大海上,在閃電中間,高傲地飛翔;這是勝利的預言家在叫喊:
——讓暴風雨來得更猛烈些吧!
朱自清《春》

原文:
盼望著,盼望著,東風來了,春天的腳步近了。
一切都像剛睡醒的樣子,欣欣然張開了眼。山朗潤起來了,水長起來了,太陽的臉紅起來了。
小草偷偷地從土里鉆出來,嫩嫩的,綠綠的。園子里,田野里,瞧去,一大片一大片滿是的。坐著,躺著,打兩個滾,踢幾腳球,賽幾趟跑,捉幾回迷藏。風輕悄悄的,草綿軟軟的。
桃樹、杏樹、梨樹,你不讓我,我不讓你,都開滿了花趕趟兒。紅的像火,粉的像霞,白的像雪;ɡ飵е鹞叮]了眼,樹上仿佛已經(jīng)滿是桃兒、杏兒、梨兒!花下成千成百的蜜蜂嗡嗡地鬧著,大小的蝴蝶飛來飛去。野花遍地是:雜樣兒,有名字的,沒名字的,散在草叢里,像眼睛,像星星,還眨呀眨的。
“吹面不寒楊柳風”,不錯的,像母親的手撫摸著你。風里帶來些新翻的泥土的氣息,混著青草味,還有各種花的香,都在微微潤濕的空氣里醞釀。鳥兒將窠巢安在繁花嫩葉當中,高興起來了,呼朋引伴地賣弄清脆的喉嚨,唱出宛轉(zhuǎn)的曲子,與輕風流水應和著。牛背上牧童的短笛,這時候也成天在嘹亮地響。
雨是最尋常的,一下就是三兩天?蓜e惱,看,像牛毛,像花針,像細絲,密密地斜織著,人家屋頂上全籠著一層薄煙。樹葉子卻綠得發(fā)亮,小草也青得逼你的眼。傍晚時候,上燈了,一點點黃暈的光,烘托出一片安靜而和平的夜。鄉(xiāng)下去,小路上,石橋邊,撐起傘慢慢走著的人;還有地里工作的農(nóng)夫,披著蓑,戴著笠的。他們的草屋,稀稀疏疏的在雨里靜默著。
天上風箏漸漸多了,地上孩子也多了。城里鄉(xiāng)下,家家戶戶,老老小小,他們也趕趟兒似的,一個個都出來了。舒活舒活筋骨,抖擻抖擻精神,各做各的一份事去!耙荒曛嬙

春天像健壯的青年,有鐵一般的胳膊和腰腳,他領著我們上前去。
《豐碑》

推薦理由:聲情并茂啊這篇,有不同人的語氣,有動作,很能體現(xiàn)表現(xiàn)力,而且感人,煽情!我當年就是用這篇在年級里拿獎的??
原文:
紅軍隊伍在冰天雪地里艱難地前進。嚴寒把云中山凍成了一個大冰坨?耧L呼嘯,大雪紛飛,似乎要吞掉這支裝備很差的隊伍。
他的馬讓給了重傷員。他率領戰(zhàn)士們向前挺進,在冰雪中為后續(xù)部隊開辟一條通路。等待著他們的是惡劣的環(huán)境和殘酷的戰(zhàn)斗,可能吃不上飯,可能睡雪窩,可能一天要走一百幾十里路,可能遭到敵人的突然襲擊。這支隊伍能不能經(jīng)受住這樣嚴峻的考驗呢?將軍思索著。
隊伍忽然放慢了速度,前面有許多人圍在一起,不知在干什么。
將軍邊走邊喊:"不要停下來,快速前進!"
"前面有人凍死了。"警衛(wèi)員跑回來告訴他。
將軍愣了一下,什么話也沒說,快步朝前走去。
一個凍僵的老戰(zhàn)士,倚靠光禿禿的樹干坐著。他一動不動,好似一尊塑像,身上落滿了雪,無法辨認他的面目,但可以看出,他的神態(tài)十分鎮(zhèn)定,十分安詳:右手的中指和食指間還夾著半截紙卷的旱煙,火早已被雪打滅;左手微微向前伸著,好象在為戰(zhàn)友指明前景的道路。單薄破舊的衣服緊緊地貼在他的身上。
將軍的臉色頓時嚴峻起來,嘴角邊的肌肉抽動著。忽然他轉(zhuǎn)過臉向身邊的人吼道:"把軍需處長和我叫來!為什么不給他發(fā)棉衣?"
呼嘯的狂風淹沒了將軍的話音。沒有人回答他,也沒有人走開。他紅著眼睛,像一頭發(fā)怒的豹子,樣子十分可怕。
"聽見沒有,警衛(wèi)員?叫軍需處長跑步過來!"將軍兩腮的肌肉抖動著。
這時候,有人小聲告訴將軍:"他就是軍需處長??"
將軍愣住了,久久地站在雪地里。他的眼睛濕潤了。他深深吸了一口起,緩緩地舉起右手,舉到齊眉出,向那位跟云中山化為一體的軍需處長敬了一個軍禮。
風更狂了,雪更大了。大雪很快地覆蓋了軍需處長的身體,他成了一座晶瑩的豐碑。 將軍什么話也沒說,大步走進漫天的風雪中。他聽見無數(shù)沉重而堅定的腳步聲。那聲音似乎在告訴人們:如果勝利不屬于這樣的隊伍,還會屬于誰呢?
補充:
(字數(shù)限定這么嚴格,還真是不好找??)
不知道這個考試是咋規(guī)定的,如果沒硬性規(guī)定,何必非得用散文呢?如果是我就一定會用詩歌,詩歌才是更適合抒情更適合朗誦的!詩歌好的實在是太多了??如果需要長度的話,艾青《大堰河我的保姆》就不錯。
總之就是找特煽情的(比如歌頌母親歌頌總理之類的,讀起來都顫顫巍巍的那種,不把你眼淚讀下來不罷休),或者特激昂的(排比句特多嘆號特多的那種,一般是歌頌祖國的什么的)。
不知道是如何規(guī)定的,我個人其實不傾向于找名篇(雖然名篇比較穩(wěn)妥,但是我喜歡劍走偏鋒),換做我的話我可能會找汶川相關的煽情散文吧。。。(其實我更可能自己寫,因為網(wǎng)上那些都不咋地)(不過這就不提了吧,我也沒空替人執(zhí)筆~)
如果選我列的那幾篇的話,最好自己去找下原文,我都是從網(wǎng)上down的,不免有些錯誤哈。
附一些時文:
強烈推薦:
有水平的cctv朗誦大賽,可以找視頻來看,借鑒人家的文章、配樂,這網(wǎng)址里很全,從這里挑不錯~我覺得都挺好的,看自己適合哪一路吧!

>01 The Language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements.
Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.
01 音樂的語言
畫家將已完成的作品掛在墻上,每個人都可以觀賞到。作曲家寫完了一部作品,得由演奏者將其演奏出來,其他人才能得以欣賞。因為作曲家是如此完全地依賴于職業(yè)歌手和職業(yè)演奏者,所以職業(yè)歌手和職業(yè)演奏者肩上的擔子可謂不輕。
一名學音樂的學生要想成為一名演奏者,需要經(jīng)受長期的、嚴格的訓練,就象一名醫(yī)科的學生要成為一名醫(yī)生一樣。絕大多數(shù)的訓練是技巧性的。音樂家們控制肌肉的熟練程度,必須達到與運動員或巴蕾舞演員相當?shù)乃健8枋謧兠刻於季毩暤跎ぷ,因為如果不能有效地控制肌肉的話,他們的聲帶將不能滿足演唱的要求。弦樂器的演奏者練習的則是在左手的手指上下滑動的同時,用右手前后拉動琴弓--兩個截然不同的動作。歌手和樂器演奏者必須使所有的音符完全相同協(xié)調(diào)。鋼琴家們則不用操這份心,因為每個音符都已在那里等待著他們了。
給鋼琴調(diào)音是調(diào)音師的職責。但調(diào)音師們也有他們的難處:他們必須耐心地調(diào)理敲擊琴弦的音錘,不能讓音錘發(fā)出的聲音象是打擊樂器,而且每個交疊的音都必須要清晰。如何得到樂章清晰的紋理 是學生指揮們所面臨的難題:他們必須學會了解音樂中的每一個音及其發(fā)音之道。他們還 必須致力于以熱忱而又客觀的權威去控制這些音符。除非是和音樂方面的知識和悟性結(jié)合起來,單純的技巧沒有任何用處。藝術家之所以偉大在于他們對音樂語言駕輕就熟,以致于可以滿懷喜悅地演出寫于任何時代的作品。
>02 Schooling and Education
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.
Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
上學與受教育
在美國,人們通常認為上學是為了受教育。而現(xiàn)在卻有人認為孩子們上學打斷了他們受教育的過程。這種觀念中的上學與受教育之間的區(qū)別非常重要。
與上學相比,教育更具開放性,內(nèi)容更廣泛。教育不受任何限制。它可以在任何場合下進行,在淋浴時,在工作時,在廚房里或拖拉機上。它既包括在學校所受的正規(guī)教育,也包括一切非正規(guī)教育。傳授知識的人可以是德高望重的老者,可以是收音機里進行政治辯論的人們,可以是小孩子,也可以是知名的科學家。上學讀書多少有點可預見性,而教育往往能帶來意外的發(fā)現(xiàn)。與陌生人的一次隨意談話可能會使人認識到自己對其它宗教其實所知甚少。人們從幼時起就開始受教育。因此,教育是一個內(nèi)涵很豐富的詞,它自始至終伴隨人的一生,早在人們上學之前就開始了。
教育應成為人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而,上學卻是一個特定的形式化了的過程。在不同場合下,它的基本形式大同小異。在全國各地,孩子們幾乎在同一時刻到達學校,坐在指定的座位上,由一位成年人傳授知識,使用大致相同的教材,做作業(yè),考試等等。
他們所學的現(xiàn)實生活中的一些片斷,如字母表或政府的運作,往往受到科目范 圍的限制。 例如,高中生們知道,在課堂上他們沒法弄清楚他們社區(qū)里政治問題的真情,也不會了解到最新潮的電影制片人在做哪些嘗試。學校教育這一形式化的過程是有特定的限制的。
>03 The Definition of "Price"
Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, includinglabor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the"system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
"價格"的定義 價格決定資源的使用方式。價格也是有限的產(chǎn)品與服務在買方中的配給手段。美國的價格系統(tǒng)是復雜的網(wǎng)狀系統(tǒng),包括經(jīng)濟生活中一切產(chǎn)品買賣的價格,也包括名目繁多的各種服務,諸如勞動力、專職人員、交通運輸、公共事業(yè)等服務的價格。
所有這些價格的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系構(gòu)成了價格系統(tǒng)。任何一種個別產(chǎn)品或服務的價格都與這個龐大而復雜的系統(tǒng)密切相關,而且或多或少地受到系統(tǒng)中其它成份的制約。如果隨機挑選一群人,問問他們?nèi)绾味x"價格",許多人會回答價格就是根據(jù)賣方提供的產(chǎn)品或服務,買方向其付出的錢數(shù)。 換句話說,價格就是市場交易中大家認同的產(chǎn)品或服務的貨幣量。該定義就其本身來說自有其道理。
但要獲得對價格在任何一樁交易中的完整認識,就必須考慮到大量" 非貨幣"因素的影響。買賣雙方不但要清楚交易中的錢數(shù),而且要非常熟悉交易物的質(zhì)量和數(shù)量,交易的時間、地點,采用哪種形式付款,有怎樣的緩付和優(yōu)惠,對交易物的質(zhì)量保證、交貨條款、退賠權利等等。也就是說,為了能估算索價,買賣雙方必須通曉構(gòu)成交易物價格的通盤細節(jié)。
>04 Electricity
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small -- often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it
can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.
電 當今時代是電氣時代。人們對電燈、收音機、電視和電話早已司空見慣以致很難想 象沒有它們生活會變成什么樣。當停電時,人們在搖曳不定的燭光下暗中摸索;因沒有紅綠燈的指示,汽車在道路上遲疑不前;冰箱也停止工作,導致食物變質(zhì)。人們只是在兩個世紀前一點才開始了解電的使用原理,自然界卻顯然在這方面經(jīng)歷過了數(shù)百萬年。科學家不斷發(fā)現(xiàn)許多生物世界里可能有益于人類的關于電的有趣秘密。所有生物細胞都會發(fā)出微小的電脈沖。 當心臟跳動時,把它發(fā)出的脈沖記錄下來就成了心電圖,這可讓醫(yī)生了解心臟的工作狀況。大腦也發(fā)出腦電波,這可在腦電圖上記錄下來。
許多生物細胞發(fā)出的電流都是極微小的,小到要用靈敏儀器才能記錄和測量。但一些動物的某些肌肉細胞能轉(zhuǎn)化成一個個發(fā)電機,以致完全失去肌肉細胞的功能。
這種細胞大量地連接在一起時產(chǎn)生的效果將是非常令人吃驚的。電鰻就是一種令人驚異的蓄電池。它可以在水中發(fā)出相當于 800 伏特電壓電流(家庭用戶的電壓只有 120 伏特)。 在電鰻的身體里,多至五分之四的細胞都專門用來發(fā)電,而且發(fā)出的電流的強度大約和它身體的長度成正比。
>05 The Beginning of Drama
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece.
The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world - even the seasonal changes - as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measureswhich appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater becausemusic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the"acting area" and the"auditorium." In addition, t
here were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect -- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -- as an actor might.Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.
戲劇的起源 關于古希臘戲劇的起源存在著多種理論,其中一個最普遍為人接受的理論假設認為戲劇從儀式演化而來。 這個觀點是這樣進行論證的:一開始,人類把世界上的自 然力量,甚至季節(jié)的變化都看成是不可預料的。 他們試圖通過各種方式去控制這些未知的、令人恐懼的力量。 那些似乎帶來了滿意結(jié)果的手段就被保留下來并且重復直到這些手段固化為不變的儀式,最后產(chǎn)生了能夠解釋或者掩蓋這些儀式神秘性的故事。 隨著時間的推移, 一些儀式被廢棄了,但這些后來被稱作神話的故事流傳下來并且為藝術和戲劇提供了素材。認為戲劇從儀式演化而來的人們還認為那些儀式包含了戲劇的基本因素,因為音樂、舞蹈、面具和服裝幾乎經(jīng)常被使用,而且,必須為演出提供一個合適的地點;如果不是整個社區(qū)共 同參加演出,經(jīng)常在"演出區(qū)"和"觀眾席"之間劃分出明顯的分界。
另外,儀式中還有演員, 而且宗教領袖通常承擔演出任務,因為在儀式的執(zhí)行中避免錯誤的發(fā)生被認為有相當
大的重 要性;他們經(jīng)常帶著面具,穿著服裝象演員那樣扮演其它人、動物或超自然的生靈,用動作來表演以達到所需要的效果,比如打獵的成功或戰(zhàn)斗的勝利、將至的雨、太陽的復活。最后這些戲劇性的表演從宗教活動中分離了出來。
另一個追溯戲劇起源的理論認為它來自人們對敘述故事的興趣。 根據(jù)這個觀點,故事(關于狩獵、戰(zhàn)爭或者其它偉績)是逐漸豐富起 來的。
首先通過一個講解人來運用模仿、表演和對話,然后再由不同的人扮演各自的角色;另一個與之緊密相關的理論將戲劇的起源追溯至舞蹈,這些舞蹈大體上是有節(jié)奏感的和體操式的那一類,或者是對動物動作和聲音的模仿。 >06 Television
Television -- the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth -- is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.The word "television", derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image(focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.
Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.
The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals.Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.
電視電視--以快速變化與發(fā)展為標志的最普遍、最具有影響力的一項現(xiàn)代技術,正在步入一個極端復雜化與多樣化的新時代。
這個時代承諾重新塑造我們的生活和我們的世界。這可以稱得上是又一次電子革命,其關鍵在于電視技術與計算機技術的結(jié)合。"電視"這個詞 來源于希臘語詞根(tele:遠)和拉丁語詞根(vision:景象),可以從字面上理解為來自遠處的 景象。
簡單說來,電視是以這種方式工作的,通過一個復雜的電子系統(tǒng),電視能夠?qū)⒁环鶊D像(這幅圖像被聚焦在一部攝像機內(nèi)的一塊特殊的光導底片上)轉(zhuǎn)換成能經(jīng)過導線或電纜發(fā)送出去的電子脈沖信號。
當這些電子脈沖信號被輸入一部接收機(電視機)時,就可以用 電子學的方法把脈沖信號重新恢復成同一幅圖像。但是,電視不僅僅是一個電子系統(tǒng),它還是一種表達工具和傳播渠道。因此,電視成了一個對其他人發(fā)生影響的強大工具。電視這個領域可以根據(jù)其發(fā)射方式分為兩類。
第一類為廣播電視,通過電視信號的寬帶無線電波 發(fā)射展現(xiàn)在大眾面前;第二類為非廣播電視,使用受控的發(fā)射技術來滿足個人以及某些特殊利益群體的需要。電視早已成為大眾媒介。我們熟悉廣播電視,因為廣播電視已經(jīng)以類似目前的方式存在了大約37 年。
在那些年頭中,電視絕大部分一直由 ABC、NBC、CBS 這些廣播電視公司控制著,這些廣播電視公司一直是新聞、信息和娛樂的主要提供者。 這些廣播業(yè)的巨頭實際上不僅塑造了電視,而且也塑造了我們對電視的理解。 我們漸漸把顯像管看作是娛樂的來源,讓自己成為這個生動的媒介的被動觀眾。
>07 Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide
educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
安德魯?卡內(nèi)基被稱作鋼鐵大王的安德魯?卡內(nèi)基在美國建立了鋼鐵工業(yè)。在這個過程中,他變成了美國最富有的人之一。
他的成功,部分來自于他銷售產(chǎn)品的能力,部分來自于經(jīng)濟蕭條時期的擴充策略。在蕭條時期,他的多數(shù)對手都在縮減投資。卡內(nèi)基認為個人應該通過努力工作來獲得進展,但他也強烈地感到有錢人應該運用他們的財富來為社會謀取福利。 他反對施舍救濟,更愿意提供教育機會,使別人自立。
卡內(nèi)基經(jīng)常說:"富有著 死去的人死得可恥。"他對社會的較重要的貢獻都以他的名字命名。這些貢獻包括匹茲堡卡內(nèi)基學校。
這個學校有一個圖書館,一個美術館和一個國家歷史博物館;他還創(chuàng)立了一所 技術學校,這所學,F(xiàn)在是卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學的一部分;其他的慈善捐贈有為促進國家間了解的"卡內(nèi)基國際和平基金",為科學研究提供經(jīng)費的華盛頓卡內(nèi)基學院以及給各種藝術活動提供活動中心的卡內(nèi)基音樂廳。安德魯?卡內(nèi)基的慷慨大度幾乎影響到每個美國人的生活。由于他超過五百萬美元的捐款,2500個圖書館得以建立起來,遍布在美國各地的小村鎮(zhèn),形成了我們今天還在享用的公共圖書館系統(tǒng)的核心。
>08 American Revolution
The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when bothwere already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What
happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on. America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer -- the United States -- based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.
美國革命美國革命其實并不算是一場革命,因為它并未導致完全的和徹底的變化。這次革命并不是對政治和社會框架的一次突然和猛烈的顛覆,象后來在已經(jīng)是獨立國家的法國 和俄國所爆發(fā)的革命那樣。
革命帶來了重大的變化,但并非翻天覆地,所發(fā)生的只是進化 的加速,而不是一場徹底的革命;在沖突期間,人們?nèi)匀簧习、做禮拜、結(jié)婚、玩耍。多數(shù)人并沒有受到實際戰(zhàn)斗的嚴重影響。許多較閉塞的社區(qū)對這場戰(zhàn)爭幾乎一無所知。美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭宣布了三個現(xiàn)代國家的誕生,其中一個是加拿大。
加拿大的第一大批講英語的流 入人口來自于成千上萬英王的效忠者,這些人從美國逃到了加拿大。另一個國家是澳大利亞,因為美國不再是容納罪犯和欠債者的國度了,澳大利亞就變成了一個懲治罪犯的殖民地(注:獨立戰(zhàn)爭前,英國政府將罪犯流放到美國)。第三個國家就是美國,它完全建立在共和原則基礎上。即使政治上的顛覆也不如人們可能想象的那樣具有革命性。在一些州,特別是康涅狄格和羅德島,戰(zhàn)爭基本上只是承認了已經(jīng)存在的殖民地的自治。四處被驅(qū)逐的英國官員都被本土的統(tǒng)治階級所替代,這個統(tǒng)治階級迅速地以地方權力機關來替代國王和議會。
>09 Suburbanization
If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed
