内容提要 《英美小说与电影》(第二版)由上下篇八个单元组成,上篇介绍四位英国作家及其代表作;下篇介绍四位美国作家及其代表作。所选作家和作品都是英美文学史上影响广泛,英语专业的作家作品,并有观赏性较强的相应电影。每个单元包括作家作品介绍、小说选读以及多种练习。小说选读除了常见的章节选读外,还有从小说中选出的与电影重要场景相关的段落,以及可以在讲解或观赏电影时作为参考的重要引语和段落选读。 第二版对版学习者在阅读中遇到的难点和问题给予了一一解答,大幅增加释义和注释,增加有助理解的小说人物介绍和选读,调整部分练习;对大学英语四级词汇中的积极词汇及超四级词汇仍采用汉译旁注;对需要较多解释的知识点用尾注,在尾注中增加了文学和文化知识的介绍;并把在教材中多次出现的生词(大多是六级和托福词汇)做成词汇表附在教材后。第二版更适合不同级别的英美文学爱好者学习使用。 目录 目录 Volume One English Novels and Films Unit 1 Jane Austeand Pride andP rej udice 2 1.1 Jane Austen: Life and Works 2 1.1.1 About the Author 2 1.1.2 Jane Austen's Novels 4 1.2 Pride and Prejudice 4 1.2.1 About the Novel 4 1.2.2 Characters 5 1.2.3 Selected Readings from the Novel 6 1.24.
