美國散文選讀

前言

　　北京大學(xué)出版社自2005年以來已出版《語言與應(yīng)用語言學(xué)知識系列讀本》多種，為了配合第十一個五年計劃，現(xiàn)又策劃陸續(xù)出版《2l世紀(jì)英語專業(yè)系列教材》。這個重大舉措勢必受到英語專業(yè)廣大教師和學(xué)生的歡迎?！　∽鳛橛⒄Z教師，最讓人揪心的莫過于聽人說英語不是一個專業(yè)。只是一個工具。說這些話的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和教師的用心是好的，為英語專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生將來找工作著想，因此要為英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生多多開設(shè)諸如新聞、法律、國際商務(wù)、經(jīng)濟、旅游等其他專業(yè)的課程。但事與愿違，英語專業(yè)的教師們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)．學(xué)生投入英語學(xué)習(xí)的時間少了，掌握英語專業(yè)課程知識甚微，即使對四個技能的掌握也并不比大學(xué)英語學(xué)生高明多少，而那個所謂的第二專業(yè)在有關(guān)專家的眼中只是學(xué)到些皮毛而已?！　∮⒄Z專業(yè)的路在何方？有沒有其他路可走？這是需要我們英語專業(yè)教師思索的問題。中央領(lǐng)導(dǎo)關(guān)于創(chuàng)新是一個民族的靈魂和要培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新人才等的指示精神，讓我們在層層迷霧中找到了航向。顯然。培養(yǎng)學(xué)生具有自主學(xué)習(xí)能力和能進行創(chuàng)造性思維是我們更為重要的戰(zhàn)略目標(biāo)，使英語專業(yè)的人才更能適應(yīng)21世紀(jì)的需要．迎接21世紀(jì)的挑戰(zhàn)?！　∪缃瘢本┐髮W(xué)出版社外語部的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和編輯同志們。也從教材出版的視角探索英語專業(yè)的教材問題，從而為貫徹英語專業(yè)教學(xué)大綱做些有益的工作，為教師們開設(shè)大綱中所規(guī)定的必修、選修課程提供各種教材?！?1世紀(jì)英語專業(yè)系列教材》是普通高等教育“十一五”國家級規(guī)劃教材和國家“十一五”重點出版規(guī)劃項目《面向新世紀(jì)的立體化網(wǎng)絡(luò)化英語學(xué)科建設(shè)叢書》的重要組成部分。這套系列教材要體現(xiàn)新世紀(jì)英語教學(xué)的自主化、協(xié)作化、模塊化和超文本化，結(jié)合外語教材的具體情況，既要解決語言、教學(xué)內(nèi)容、教學(xué)方法和教育技術(shù)的時代化，也要堅持弘揚以愛國主義為核心的民族精神。因此，今天北京大學(xué)出版社在大力提倡專業(yè)英語教學(xué)改革的基礎(chǔ)上。編輯出版各種英語專業(yè)技能、英語專業(yè)知識和相關(guān)專業(yè)知識課程的教材，以培養(yǎng)具有創(chuàng)新性思維的和具有實際工作能力的學(xué)生，充分體現(xiàn)了時代精神。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　I walked about the city of New York looking at people. I was not too young any more andcould not make myself over to fit a new city. No doubt certain characteristics of my own naturehad become fixed. I was a man of the mid-western towns who had gone from his town to themid-western cities and there had gone through the adventures common to such fellows as myself.Was there some salt in me？ To the end of my life I would talk with the half slovenly drawl of themiddle-westerner, would walk like such a middle-westerner, have the air of something between alaborer, a man of business, a gambler, a race horse owner, an actor. If I was, as I then fullyintended, to spend the rest of my life trying to tell such tales as I could think and feel my waythrough, I would have to tell the tales of my own people. Would I gain new power and insight fortelling by having come East, by consorting with other story-tellers？ Would I understand better myown people and what had made the tragedies, the comedies and the wonders of their lives？　　I was in New York as a guest, as an onlooker, wondering about the city and the men of thecity and what they were thinking and feeling. There were certain men I wanted to see, who hadwritten things I thought had given me new lights on my own people, the subjects of my tales.　　I dare say there was a good deal of a certain half-rural timidity in me.　　There was Mr. Van Wyck Brooks, whose book "Americas Coming-of-Age," had movedme deeply. He with Mr. Waldo Frank, Paul Rosenfeld, James Oppenheim and others had juststarted a magazine, The Seven Arts （that after its death was to be replaced by The Dial, publishedby a quite different group）, and the magazine had not only offered to publish some of my thingsbut its editors had asked me to come to see them.　　I wanted to go and was at the same time a little afraid. At that time there was a good deal oftalk abroad as to a new artistic awakening in America. Mr. Waldo Frank s " Our America" musthave been in preparation at just about that time and it could not have been much later that Mr.William Allen White~ wrote in The New Republic, an article the import of which was that "TheKing is dead！ Long live the King！" If there were new things in the land, I wanted to see andconsort with them ifI could.　　As for The Seven Arts magazine, there had been rumors of its coming birth, even in Chicago.
