胡適_不要拋棄學問 中英

1、不要拋棄學問胡適Never Give up the Pursuit of Learning中國公學十八年級畢業(yè)贈言諸位畢業(yè)同學：Dear Students of the Graduating Class,你們現(xiàn)在要離開母校了，我沒有什么禮物送給你們，只好送你們一句話罷。 As you are leaving your alma mater, I have nothing to offer you as a gifts except a word of advice. as作連詞的用法1. as.as的用法as.as意為"和一樣"，表示同級的比較。使用時要注意第一個as為副詞

2、，第二個as為連詞。其基本結(jié)構(gòu)為：as+ adj./ adv. +as。例如：(1)This film is as interesting as that one.這部電影和那部電影一樣有趣。(2)Your pen writes as smoothly as mine.你的鋼筆書寫起來和我的一樣流暢。其否定式為not as/so +adj./ adv. +as。例如：This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think.這本字典不如你想象的那樣有用。若有修飾成分，如twice, three times, half, a quarter等，則須置于第一

3、個as之前。例如：Your bag is twice as expensive as mine.你的袋子比我的貴一倍。幾個關(guān)于as.as的常見句型：(1)as.as possible Please answer my question as soon as possible.請盡快回答我的問題。(2)as.as usual/before She looks as pretty as before.她看起來和以前一樣漂亮。(3)as long as. (引導條件狀語從句) It took us as long as three years to carry out the plan.我們花了長達

4、三年的時間才完成這項計劃。(4)as far as He walked as far as the railway station yesterday evening.昨天傍晚，他一直散步到火車站。(5)as well as She cooks as well as her mother does.她燒菜燒得跟她母親一樣好。一些帶有as.as結(jié)構(gòu)的常見短語歸納： as busy as a bee像蜜蜂一樣忙碌as easy as ABC像ABC一樣容易as deep as a well像井一樣深as light as a feather像羽毛一樣輕as soft as butter像黃油一樣軟

5、as rich as a Jew像猶太人一樣富裕2. as用作連詞引導時間狀語從句as與when，while都是引導時間狀語從句的從屬連詞，含義都是"當?shù)臅r候"。但它們有區(qū)別：用when時，從句的動作可以與主句的動作同時發(fā)生，也可以先于主句的動作發(fā)生；用while時，從句的動作為一過程，主句動作與從句動作同時進行或在從句動作過程中發(fā)生；用as時，主句和從句的動作同時發(fā)生，具有延續(xù)的含義。例如：(1)It was snowing when he arrived at the construction site.他到達工地時，天正在下雪。(2)He was watching T

6、V while his mother was cooking.他母親做飯時他在看電視。(3) You will grow wiser as you grow older.你會隨著年齡的增長而越來越聰明。3. as用作連詞引導原因狀語從as，because，since都可以表示因果關(guān)系，連接原因狀語從句，含義是"因為，由于"，但它們有區(qū)別：because表示的語氣最強；as一般放在句首，語氣較弱，較口語化；since常常用在書面語中，表示多為對方已知的、或稍加分析便可得知的原因，有時可譯作"既然"。例如：(1) He will succeed becaus

7、e he is in earnest.他一定會成功，因為他很認真。(2) Since you are so sure of it he”ll believe you.既然你對此如此有把握，他會相信你的。(3) As rain has fallen, the air is cooler.因為下過雨，空氣比較清爽。4. as作連詞引導讓步狀語從句as與although (或though)，however (或no matter how)等都可以引導讓步狀語從句，含義是"雖然，盡管"，但它們有區(qū)別：although語氣稍正式些，可放在句首，也可放在句中，主句中不能再用but，但可

8、以用yet；as所表示的語氣較強，引導的讓步狀語從句用倒裝語序；however引導讓步狀語從句時，它的后面可跟形容詞或副詞，也要用倒裝語序。例如：(1) Although he is quite old, he still jogs every day.他雖然年紀相當大，仍然每天慢跑。(2) Strange as it may seem, nobody was injured in the accident.這次意外雖然顯得令人不可思議，卻沒有人受傷。(3) However hard he may try, he will not attain his goal.無論他怎樣努力也達不到目標。：

21、you want to, will it be possible with no library or laboratory available?"：虛擬語氣，主將從現(xiàn)。主將從現(xiàn)是指在時間狀語從句和條件狀語從句中，如果主句是一般將來時，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時替代一般將來時。 常見的有以下四種情況： 一、條件狀語從句的主句是一般將來時，那么從句常常用一般現(xiàn)在時 如： When I grow up, Ill be a nurse and look after patients 我長大后要當一名護士，照顧病人 二、如果主句是祈使句，那么從句通常要用一般現(xiàn)在時 如：Dont laugh at me

Forsake learning, and you will ruin yourself.：是一位影響深遠的挪威劇作家，被稱為"現(xiàn)代戲劇之父"。他是歐洲知識界取得現(xiàn)代突破的中心人物 易卜生，被公認為現(xiàn)代戲劇之父。他的劇作仍然具有巨大的現(xiàn)實意義，仍在世界各地繼續(xù)上演。據(jù)說，易卜生是繼莎士比亞之后在世界上被上演最多的劇作家。

33、玩偶之家(1879),又譯娜拉或傀儡家庭。女主人公娜拉偽造父親的簽字向人借錢，為丈夫海爾茂醫(yī)病。丈夫了解原委后，生怕因此影響自己的名譽地位，怒斥妻子下賤無恥。當債主在娜拉的女友感化下主動退回借據(jù)時，海爾茂又對妻子裝出一副笑臉。娜拉看透了丈夫的自私和夫妻間的不平等，不甘心做丈夫的玩偶，憤然出走。玩偶之家演出后,引起了激烈的反響。娜拉要求個性解放、不做"賢妻良母"的堅決態(tài)度,遭到上流社會的責難和非議。但易卜生并沒有在責難面前退卻，他繼續(xù)創(chuàng)作問題劇，揭露社會問題。從1901年首屆諾貝爾文學獎頒發(fā)開始，他就被提名為候選人，一直是強有力的競爭者之一，可惜前兩次都失之交臂，當1903年

34、瑞典文學院將目光投向斯堪的納維亞半島，特別是挪威以來，他的希望大增，可是同胞比昂斯滕·比昂松成為了他最大的競爭者，由于兩人實力相當，曾經(jīng)有人建議，兩人同時獲獎，可是有些院士以不符合評獎章程而否決，二人只能擇其一，由于前兩屆得主都因為生病原因未能親自前來領(lǐng)獎，瑞典文學院不希望今年再次有得主缺席，由于七十五歲的易卜生身患重病、臥床不起；而七十一歲的比昂遜雖也年邁，但還是生氣勃勃，創(chuàng)作力旺盛。這樣，瑞典學院選最終把文學獎單獨頒發(fā)給比昂遜。：背熟：拋棄，遺棄，摒棄再會了！你們的母校眼睜睜地要看你們10年之后成什么器。Farewell!
