Ancient-off “year” is not in the twelfth lunar month on the 29th or on the 30th, but in the “wax on”, that later, “Laba.” Southern and Northern Dynasties later, the “wax Festival” to the end of the year. To the Republican era, the switch to Gregorian calendar was only then that the lunar year is called “Spring Festival”, because the Spring Festival is generally in the “Spring,” both before and after.
2.英语姓氏起源初探 篇二
关键词:诺曼征服;血缘关系姓氏;地名姓氏;职业姓氏;绰号姓氏
和中国人先有姓,继而有氏,最后才有名的历史刚好相反,英国人的祖先在历史上的很长一段时间,都过着只有名而无姓的生活。这一点在现存古英语文学中最古老的作品《贝奥武甫》中可见一斑。在这部史诗巨著中,所有的人物都是只有名字而没有姓氏,例如,Hrothgur(丹麦国王)、Ecgtheow(贝奥武甫的父亲)、Grendel(半人半魔的妖怪)等。关于英语姓氏的起源时间,英国史学家威廉·卡姆登(William Camden)在他所著的《不列颠尼亚》中有如下描述: “About the year of our Lord 1000…surnames began to be taken up in France, and in England about the time of the Conquest, or else a very little before, under King Edward the Confessor, who was all Frenchified…”[1]可见,英国人开始逐渐使用姓氏是在诺曼征服之后。“诺曼人的征服不仅给英语带来了大量法语词汇,也给英国人带来了姓氏;这些姓氏初始仍然变易不定,以后渐渐固定下来,成为可以代代相袭的姓氏。”[2]据文献记载,“英格兰最古老的姓氏可能是Hwita Hatte,一个养蜂的人,他女儿的名字是Tate Hatte。”[3]那么,为什么偏偏是在诺曼人到来之后英国人才有了姓氏呢?
一、英语姓氏产生的原因
客观地说,英语姓氏在诺曼人到来后产生是当时经济和社会发展的必然结果。英国的封建制度始于盎格鲁—撒克逊时期(公元七—九世纪),1066年的诺曼底征服大大加速了英国的封建化进程,20年后编制成的《土地赋役调查书》表明了英国封建制度的完全确立。封建制度的成熟推动了经济和社会的进一步发展,人们的社会交往增多,“大量的重名给人们在政治、商贸、律例、税收等方面制造出大量麻烦与不便。更加准确、方便、有效、可靠地区别人、我,区别数不胜数的同名人,日益成为必要。”[2]在这种社会环境下,契机出现了。1086年,英格兰国王威廉一世下令编写《土地赋役调查书》(后又被称为《末日审判书》),要求所有上册的人都要有姓氏,于是,一些王公贵族率先用自己封地或宅邸的名称来称呼自己,后来世代相袭成了姓氏。大约用了两百多年,姓氏在英国自上而下地普及开来。
二、英语姓氏起源的分类及含义
据统计,“英格兰大概有45000个姓氏。”[3]英国著名姓氏学家P·H·雷利(P·H·Reaney)把英语姓氏分为四类,即:血缘关系姓氏、地名姓氏、职业姓氏和绰号姓氏。[4]这些姓氏从很大程度上都反映了其出现时期的社会风貌。
1. 血缘关系姓氏
在英语姓氏中,大约有三分之一都属于这一类。这种姓氏的构成方式大多都是把祖名或父名与表示“儿子”的词缀结合,从而表示一种血缘上的承袭关系,例如:Magson, Stevenson, Richards(-son或-s后缀表示某人之子);MacDonald, McDavid, McArthur(Mac-或Mc前缀源于盖尔语,亦指某人之子,如McArthur指“阿瑟之子”);O’Clery, O’Henry(前缀O源于爱尔兰语,表示某人后裔,如O’Henry就指“亨利之后裔”)等。需要说明的是,这类姓氏一旦世袭成家姓,就丧失了清楚表示亲属关系的功能,只能推断祖先的父辈关系了。
2. 地名姓氏
“英语中大概有43%的姓氏源出地名,其数量也最大。”[3]有这类姓氏的人大多可以通过自己的姓氏推测其祖先出生地或居住地的地域风貌和环境,例如:Brook(小溪旁), River(河畔), Lake(湖边), Hill(山下), Bush(灌木丛旁), Everest(山顶), Wallance(来自威尔士的人)等。另外,由于种种原因,有些词形简单的、表示地域环境的词往往会发生词形上的变化,由此派生出新的姓氏,例如:Oakley, Oakerley, Noakes, Oakham等均来自于姓氏Oak(橡木);由Hill(山下)派生出的姓氏有Hills, Hull, Holt, Knill, Thill等。
3. 职业姓氏
诺曼人统治期间,英国的手工业与贸易蓬勃发展,社会生产力水平大幅提高,大批欧洲其他国家的熟练手工业者都来到英国寻找机会,数量庞大的从业者群体对英语中职业姓氏的产生起到了直接的推动作用。当时,“在所有的手工业行业中,铁匠是最为重要的职业,由此产生的许多姓氏与铁匠的职业是息息相关的。如Smith(铁匠),Horsenail, Mascall, Blade, Cottle, Brand……Tingle, Locker等都是与铁匠行业有关的姓氏。”[5]当然,源于其他行业的姓氏也有很多,如:Stoneman/Carver/Machen(石匠), Carpenter/Board/Hatchwood(木匠),Chalker/Painter/Stainer(油漆匠), Glassman(玻璃匠), Plaster/Daber(泥瓦匠), Cover/picher(修盖房顶匠),Arkwrights(造木船匠)等。另外,随着社会的进一步发展,由一些官职或职务也产生出了相应的姓氏,如Marshall(源于Marshal元帅一词), Chamberlain(贵族的管家), Judge(法官), Bishop(主教), Abbot(修道院长)等。
4. 绰号姓氏
绰号也叫外号,是根据某人身上的一些不同寻常的特征如外表、品格、性情或某些行为等为其取的一个有代表性的称谓。这些称谓,或褒或贬,往往是由某人的朋友、邻居、同事或亲戚所取的。世界上任何一个民族的语言中都有绰号的存在,然而能像在英语中这样,绰号逐渐演变为一个人真正的姓氏却是不多见的。事实上,绰号姓氏也是英语姓氏的一大组成部分,例如,有描述一个人外貌特征的:Armstrong(手臂强健的人), Beard(留大胡子的人), Longfellow(高个子的人)等;有赞扬某人品质特点的:Happy(快乐的人), Smart(聪明的人), Trueman(忠实的人)等;有表达某人肤色或头发颜色的:Brown(棕色), White(白色), Green(绿色)等。此外,“按英美人的一般心理,他们喜欢把事物同个人相联系,有时人们直接把动物名称同人名联系起来用以描述被取名者的性格特征。”[3]例如,如果一个人姓Hare(兔子),则表示这个人可能行动敏捷或有些胆小懦弱;如果姓Mutton(绵羊),则表示此人性格温和;Crabbe(源于Crab 蟹)则可能表示某人走路像螃蟹或者此人脾气比较坏;还有Fox(狐狸),则指某人狡猾,不可信任。
三、小结
作为姓名这一人类社会区别性符号的重要组成部分,姓氏是人类文明发展到一定程度的产物。对于英语姓氏起源的了解不仅可以增强人们学习英语的兴趣,而且也有助于学习者通过姓氏来了解以英国为代表的英语国家的历史和文化,对促进不同文化之间的交流有着积极的意义。

3.复活节英语作文:复活节的起源 篇三
The Easter we celebrate today is a combination of different traditions. Partly, it comes from old festivals to celebrate Spring. And partly it comes from the Christian celebration of the rebirth of Jesus Christ.Most people agree that the word “Easter” comes from the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eastre, a symbol of Spring. It is easy to see how “ Eastre timev” became “ Easter time” . It can be as early as March 22, or as late as April 25! The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity. Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness and new life, is the most important. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries.Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and printed with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers. In the Middle Ages, eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany, eggs were given to children

谚语是古圣先贤的智慧结晶,也是语言文字的结晶,在日常沟通或写作中若适时引用谚语,可以让我们的语言更为精彩生动。每则谚语除了有句意外,还有喻意。我们知道,每种语言都承载着一个民族的智慧与文化。因此,要学习英语仅靠背几句大白话是远远不够的,还必须了解英美等国家的文化、语言习惯和思维方式,并掌握地道的英语表达方式和鲜活的语言要素。提高语言的感染力和渗透力正是谚语语言的精品,它简单易懂,结构精练,是一种感染力极强的语言形式。学生们如果能够每天记忆三两句谚语,长期坚持,定能收到意想不到的效果。因为谚语不但教人守德、惜时、为善和求真;劝人淡泊名利、志存高远和勇于进取,具有深刻的教育意义,而且可以帮助学生巩固语法知识,提高阅读和写作能力。
谚语是语言的精品,它简单易懂,结构精练,常出现在语篇中,起到概况、总结的作用,是感染力极强的语言形式。学生们如果能够每天记忆记常用谚语,有助于提高阅读理解能力,同时在书面表达中引用三两句谚语,长期坚持,定能收到意想不到的效果。在表达中,谚语能起到言简意赅的作用。谚语是人民群众聪明才智和经验的结晶,也是表达真理的浅显方式。越来越多的英语教师认识到,英语谚语不但能丰富教学内容、拓展学生视野、激发学习兴趣、提高文化鉴赏力,而且在英语语法、词汇、写作教学中具有不容忽视的作用。笔者尝试在日常英语教学中,利用课前一两分钟时间教会学生一些言简意赅、寓意深刻的谚语,然后在写作中灵活运用,学生的写作水平得到了显著提高。本文结合陕西及其他省份近几年的英语高考作文,简要分析一下谚语在英语高考写作中的具体应用。
一、在英语高考中运用谚语所遵循的原则
1. 渐进性原则。高三英语写作要坚持“句——段——篇”的训练程序,由易到难,循序渐进。在英语写作的初始阶段,要始终注意培养学生良好的写作习惯,狠抓基本功训练。在学生掌握了基本句型并能写出简单句子之后,再要求学生根据一些体例写出小段的文章。在段落写作中要引导学生分析段落的结构、段落的中心句、句与句之间的逻辑关系、写作手法等,这有利于下一步一篇文章的写作。在文章写作中要教会学生如何熟记谚语,活学活用。学生惧怕英语写作的主要原因之一是写句子怕出错,或者写出汉语式英语。在日常写作教学中,教师可利用一些谚语让学生仿写,使学生不但学习英语谚语,而且在此基础上有所创新,起到举一反三的作用。
2. 多样性原则
要坚持训练形式的多样化及写作文体的多样性。从形式上而言,可以用回答提问的口头作文,也可以用续写故事;可以改写课文,也可以仿写课文;可以写提纲训练谋篇布局,也可以写拓展段训练发散思维……从文体上而言,可以写说明文、议论文、记叙文,也可以写书信、便条、通知等实用文体。期间可以引用谚语。英语谚语能够源远流长,除了有多样性的内容,还因为有优美的语音和结构形式。英语谚语往往发音铿锵有力、音调和谐,读起来琅琅上口,听起来悦耳好记。许多英语谚语运用了押韵、反复、对偶等修辞手法,更增添了谚语语言的结构美、节奏美和韵律美,给人一种耳目一新的感觉。
3. 结合性原则
结合作文,在文章的开头引入一些言简意赅、富有哲理的谚语,会为文章增色不少。要坚持听说读训练和写训练相结合。根据语言习得理论,学习者在学习时常先通过听和读吸取语言知识,从而了解别人的思想,再通过说和写来表达自己的思想,让别人了解自己。大量的听说训练能促进读写能力的提高。因此,写与听说读紧密结合,进行多元化的能力训练,可使学生的各项能力互相影响、互相渗透、互相促进。在写作中,如果我们能把谚语作为文章的论据使用,也能够增加语言的说服力和文章的分量,同时避免了因使用复杂句式而出现的语法失误,达到提高文章档次的目的。
4. 控制性原则
要坚持写作前的指导,控制学生的汉语语言思维,发展英语语言思维。语言学习在很大程度上主要是模仿,而非随心所欲地自由表达。教师要加强写作前的指导,可给出范文让学生模仿,以熟悉其语篇结构。同时要控制其汉语语言思维,尽可能让学生习惯英语语言思维,以便于学生学习和掌握地道、正确的英语谚语。例如Hope is life and life is hope.(希望才有人生,人生要有希望。)/Idle young, needy old.(少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲。)/If you don’t aim high you will never hit high.(不立大志,难攀高峰。)/I might say that success is won by three things: first, effort; second, more effort; third, still more effort.(成功之道唯三点:努力、努力、再努力。这些都是地道的英语。)
5. 持久性原则
要坚持长期、正确的英语谚语写作训练。英语写作能力的提高并非一朝一夕之事,而是一个长期的、艰巨的、渐进的过程。这就要求教师、学生都要有充分的思想准备,要有坚韧不拔的意志和必胜的信心。
优美的谚语字字珠玑、充满睿智、清新明快、寓意深刻。学生在高考作文中如能恰当引用,一定会增加文章的亮点,升华文章主题。
二、高中英语谚语写作应注意的三个问题
1. 分类整理,精选英语谚语
目前有关英语谚语的书籍很多,谚语数量也多达几千句。有的谚语书籍按谚语的内容分类,如时间、交友、健康、励志等;有的按字母的顺序排列,如A-Z,以方便教师查询。教师要结合课堂教学实际和高中学生的认知特点,潜心研究谚语,从中精选与学生学习、生活等密切相关的谚语,并将谚语教学与学生的翻译、造句、写作练习相结合,做到学以致用。
2. 大量积累,扩大学生的谚语总量
教师可以结合学生高中三年的英语教学计划,合理安排谚语教学。根据笔者多年的教学实践,每节课利用一两分钟时间,学习1-2条谚语是合适的。教师只要坚持,学生三年下来积累的谚语数量是惊人的。
3. 将谚语背诵与说、读和写相结合
在谚语教学实践中,教师要鼓励学生多说、多背、多写,可以让学生在课前说说自己所学的英语谚语,也可在教室设一个英语谚语角,让学生写写自己收集到的谚语,或定期举行谚语比赛,检测学生学习谚语的情况。同时,教师应鼓励学生在乎时的生活中多用英语谚语来表达自己的情感,从而进一步提高说英语的能力。
高考英语作文要求对所论述的问题进行概括总结,提炼论点或得出结论。 写作应与学生的生活世界相联系,这是近年来外语教学界达成的共识。一线教师应充分认识谚语在写作中的重要作用。在日常英语教学中,教师应广泛搜集与学生生活相关的谚语,并运用这些谚语对学生进行命题作文训练。许多英语谚语短小精悍、寓意深刻,非常适用于文章的题目。教师可用一个谚语为题,要求学生就一个主题展开作文写作,长期训练定会收到理想的效果。
