人文学科的重要性新视野大学英语
许多世纪以来，人们一直怀有一种理想，就是要建立一个跨越地域、跨越X界的学者共同体.这个共同体是一个人文共和X，统辖它的是思想，是智识精神.但是正如我们今天所见，这并非仅仅是一个理想，而是真实的存在，其真实有如这个现实世界的任何一个方面.当然，它可能存在于书籍中、图书馆中、文字中或学刊中，但它的的确确存在着，且强大而有力，因为其赖以生存的是一种广及的声波.我想我们多半上不了报纸的头版，甚至上报本身都不大可能，但成为那种新闻亦非我们所愿.我们的目标更为深远，从很多方面看也更为恒久。
在新型的工业X家里，我们都假定教育和科研必须从属于工业体系的要求，这个体系也的确经常想利用或绕过大学的行政机构，领养教育，让它符合自己的标准.但他又接着说道：“倘若我们意识到”，在最终的意义上“教育者才是工业赖以成功的生产要素之根本，那么教育和科研就不该处于从属的地位”.教育者本人“必须认识到这一点.并尽其所能，不是去代表工业体系的利益”--因为他的行为最终还是对它有益的，“而是为了代表整个人类人格”，这才是更深远、更宏大的任务.我认为，只要讲授英语文学、关心英语文学的人都能以协会的形式更紧密地站在一起，让各协会携起手来，使之成为我们心念所系、毕生奉献的一项事业，我们英语文学研究的前景就一定会非常光明.谢谢大家。

Unit 2 The humanities: Out of date? 1 When the going gets tough, the tough take accounting. When the job market worsens, many students calculate they can't major in English or history. They have to study something that boosts their prospects of landing a job. 2 The data show that as students have increasingly shouldered the ever-rising cost of tuition, they have defected from the study of the humanities and toward applied science and "hard" skills that they bet will lead to employment. In other words, a college education is more and more seen as a means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment. This is a trend that is likely to persist and even accelerate. 3 Over the next few years,as labor markets struggle,the humanities will probably continue their long slide in succession. There already has been a nearly50percent decline in the portion of liberal arts majors over the past generation,and it is logical to think that the trend is bound to continue or even accelerate. Once the dominant pillars of university life,the humanities now play little roles when students take their college tours. These days, labs are more vivid and compelling than libraries. 4 Here, please allow me to stand up for and promote the true value that the humanities add to people's lives. Since ancient times, people have speculated about the mystery of those inner forces that drive some people to greatness and others to self-destruction. This inner drive has been called many things over the centuries. The famous psychologist, Sigmund Freud,called it the"unconscious mind"or,more familiarly, "instinct". 5 From the beginning of time,this inner aspect of our being,this drive that can be constructive or destructive,has captured our imagination. The stories of this amazing struggle have formed the basis of cultures the world over. Historians, architects, authors, philosophers and artists have captured the words,images and meanings of this inner struggle in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions. These men and women developed artistic "languages" that help us understand these aspirations and also educate generations. This fertile body of w ork from ancient times, the very foundation of civilization, forms the basis of study of the humanities. 6 Studying the humanities improves our ability to read and write. No matter what we do in life, we will have a huge advantage if we can read complex ideas and understand their meaning. We will have a bright career if we are the person in the office who can write a clear and elegant analysis of those ideas! 7 Studying the humanities makes us familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process. In an information economy, many people have the ability to produce a useful product such as a new MP3 player. Yet, very few people have the ability to create a spectacular brand:the iPod. Most importantly,studying the humanities invests us with great insight and self-awareness, there by releasing our creative energy and talent in a positive and constructive manner.
Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课 1如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 5关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're 之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary 之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery （文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说 They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎情理。 7对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。 8因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味，所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。有一天机会来了。我跟儿子开车外出。我们出发时，他看到一只小鸟飞得很不稳，就说：“它飞的不稳。”（It's flying so unsteady.）我小心翼翼地问：“儿子，鸟怎么飞?” “有问题吗？我说得不对吗？（Did I say anything incorrectly?）” 他一头雾水。“太好了，你说的是incorrectly 而不是incorrect。我们用副词来描述动词。所以，要用unsteadily 来描述鸟飞，而不是unsteady。” 9他对我的纠正很好奇，就问我什么是副词。我慢慢解释道：“副词是用来修饰动词的词。” 这又导致了他询问我什么是动词。我解释说：“动词是表示行为的词，例如：爸爸开卡车。‘开’是动词，因为它是爸爸在做的事。”

人文学的重要性英语作文 Studying humanities can help you understand things better and more clearly. For example, when you look at a painting, you may think to yourself that "this is just a piece of painting", but by studying the humanities, you will be able to appreciate what the painting is and see how many aspects of creation and painting may have far-reaching significance. 学习人文学科可以帮助你更好更清晰地理解事物。例如，当你看一张画，你可能会对自己想“这只是一块画”，但通过研究人文，你将能够欣赏的绘画是什么，可以看到通过创建和绘画的多少方面可能有深远的意义。 The humanities will help you appreciate and discover the meaning of almost everything in the world. In addition, through this, you will be able to find inspiration from random things, which will help you get the vibration of those creative cells. 人文学科将帮助你欣赏和发现世界上几乎所有事物的意义。此外，通过这个你将能够从随机的事情中找到灵感，这将帮助你得到那些创造性细胞的颤动。 Although humanities can not directly produce economic benefits, it can provide correct values and guidance for natural science. Great scientists with great achievements in history, such as Madame Curie and Einstein, all have great humanistic feelings. 人文学科它虽然不能直接产生经济效益，但能为自然科学提供正确的价值观

人文学科的重要性作文英语 The Importance of Humanities in Education In today's rapidly advancing world, emphasis is often placed on the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). While these subjects are undoubtedly crucial, it is equally important to recognize the significance of humanities in education. Humanities, including subjects such as literature, history, philosophy, and the arts, play a vital role in shaping individuals and societies. This essay aims to explore the importance of humanities and their influence on personal and societal development. First and foremost, humanities foster critical thinking skills. By studying literature, students are exposed to different perspectives and are encouraged to analyze and interpret texts. This allows them to develop their own ideas and viewpoints, enhancing their ability to think critically. Similarly, when studying history, students are exposed to various events, allowing them to analyze and evaluate the causes and consequences. Philosophy, on the other hand, challenges students to question and reason, enabling them to develop logical and analytical thinking skills. Through the humanities, students are encouraged to think critically and develop their own unique insights. Moreover, humanities provide a deeper understanding of human experiences and cultures. Literature allows us to explore the human condition and emotions by providing glimpses into different cultures, time periods, and societal norms. By engaging with diverse works of literature, students can empathize with characters from different backgrounds and gain insights into different ways of life. History provides a comprehensive view of past events, enabling individuals to understand the roots of present-day
人文学科的重要性：主谈英语文学 作者：［美］詹姆斯·安格尔 字体：【大中小】 [编者按] 詹姆斯·安格尔(James Engell)是美国哈佛大学Gumey Professor of Endi8h andProfessor 0fComparative Literature，英语系兼比较文学系主任。2007年12月16日，他应邀前来中国参加了中国外国文学学会英语文学学会成立大会，并在会上做主旨演讲。本刊和《外国文学评论》编辑部征得安格尔教授本人同意在两份刊物上同时发表这篇演讲，以飨读者。 许多世纪以来，人们一直怀有一种理想，就是要建立一个跨越地域、跨越国界的学者共同体。这个共同体是一个人文共和国，统辖它的是思想，是智识精神。但是正如我们今天所见，这并非仅仅是一个理想，而是真实的存在，其真实有如这个现实世界的任何一个方面。当然，它可能存在于书籍中、图书馆中、文字中或学刊中，但它的的确确存在着，且强大而有力，因为其赖以生存的是一种广及的声波。我想我们多半上不了报纸的头版，甚至上报本身都不大可能，但成为那种新闻亦非我们所愿。我们的目标更为深远，从很多方面看也更为恒久。 我必须要说的是，相比眼下美国、英国以及其他国家的许多文学教授们的思想意识，你们这个学会先行了一步。何出此言?因为他们才刚刚开始意识到，英语文学研究(the studyof English literature)应该是研究用英语写成的文学(the study of literature in English)；他们意识到有一个全球性的、多国家的、跨文化的视野，因此，将英语文学研究——或者用任何一种语言写作的任何文学的研究——仅仅隔绝在一个国家或一国传统范围内是不明智的，是对思想的禁锢。任何文学研究都可以用来解释某个民族或某种文化的传统，这很自然，但这个传统往往与世界上其他许多地方都有关联。 我想我也能体会到建立这样一个学会该是多么不易。大约12年前，我在美国协助创立了一个新的协会：文学学者和批评家协会，为此大家付出了大量的努力，组织人手，募集资金，奠基开创，经历了幕后工作、争吵、辩论，从分歧到妥协再到达成一致，直至最后的成功。实际上，建立一个组织或协会非常艰难。约翰，德莱顿(John Dryden，1631～1700)的诗名可谓不凡。而且他还是国王的朋友——实际上他还借钱给国王，因为议会拒绝贷款给查理二世，可见德莱顿在宫廷里有他的影响力。他想要建立一个文学学院，一个英格兰式的文学与学识协会，但是他失败了。其实，建立这样一个文学学院的梦想并非只此一例，而且都长期存在，但英国的文学研究院(Academy of Letters)直到很久以后才出现。将英国文学作为研究对象这一观念本身其实落后于研究实践，直到德莱顿和艾迪生(JosephAddison，1672～1719)时期，才形成了将英国文学视为一个整体性实体的观念，不过这样的观念仍未进入校园。 据我所知，英语文学首次出现在学校的正式课程表中供学生选修，并不是在英格兰，也不是在大不列颠，也不是在美国，而是在印度。之所以最早出现于印度，是因为殖民地的
