今天剛看了一篇關(guān)于金庸的文章,?是The Straits Times的一篇訃告。
想到我們這個(gè)星期剛剛學(xué)過(guò)了Unit 2 Charlie Chaplin,兩者也有一些共同之處,都是人物傳記。
這篇文章介紹了金庸的影響、成就、作品介紹、家庭背景、婚姻等。
我自己閱讀花了半個(gè)小時(shí)不到,雖然好多都知道,但是第一次看英文介紹,覺(jué)得挺有意思的??梢詫W(xué)習(xí)到很多表達(dá)方式,尤其是如何來(lái)介紹人物,描述一本書(shū)、故事、小說(shuō),很多很多表達(dá)方式。如果熟悉金庸作品(主要是電視?。?,了解背景信息,那么這篇文讀起來(lái)一點(diǎn)也不難,即使遇到不認(rèn)識(shí)的表達(dá)方式,可以根據(jù)上下文、根據(jù)背景知識(shí)猜測(cè)出來(lái),比我們的課文Unit 2 Charlie Chaplin更容易理解。
