洛克菲勒:美国历史上第一个十亿富翁

全文共 2286 字

+ 加入清单

美国早期的富豪,多半靠机遇成功,唯有约翰·洛克菲勒例外。他并非多才多艺,但异常冷静、精明,富有远见,凭借自己独有的魄力和手段,白手起家,一步一步地建立起他那庞大的石油帝国。在他漫长的一生中,人们对他毁誉参半,有人认为他只不过是极具野心、唯利是图的企业家,也有人恭维他是个慷慨的慈善家。但不管怎样,作为美国历史上第一个十亿富翁,作为石油巨子,他在相当一段时期控制着全美国的石油资源,并创设了托拉斯企业制度,在美国资本主义经济发展史上占有重要的一席之地。

1839年7月8日,约翰·洛克菲勒出生于纽约州哈得逊河畔的一个名叫杨佳的小镇。他的父母,个性截然不同:母亲是个一言一行都皈依《圣经》的虔诚的基督教徒,她勤快、节俭、朴实,家教严格;而父亲却是个讲究实际的花花公子,他自信、好冒险,善交际,任性而又以自我为中心。洛克菲勒作为长子,他从父亲那里学会了讲求实际的经商之道,又从母亲那里学到了精细、节俭、守信用、一丝不苟的长处,这对他日后的成功产生了莫大的影响。

父亲名叫威廉,人称“大个子比尔”,是个到处闯荡的木材商、马贩子,也是个走江湖的巫医,兜售所谓“立见奇效,包治百病”的灵丹妙药。此外,他还出卖土地,买卖毛皮,贩盐,推销杂货,几乎是无事不干的百事通。

父亲出外经商,一去就是几个月,家中对孩子们的教育主要由母亲承担。但偶尔归家的父亲也与母亲一样望子成龙,一有空就教约翰如何写商业书信,如何准确而迅速地付款,以及如何清晰地记账。他深知社会的现实和世道的冷酷,所以他常采用一些特殊的方式教育孩子,使他们在踏入社会之前就能坚强而且精明起来。

比尔很注意在游戏中创造机会启发约翰和他的弟弟,以培养他们预防不测的意识。当约翰还是个孩童时,父亲常常让小约翰从高椅子上纵身跳入自己怀抱。有一次父亲没有用双臂接他,他就重重地摔在地上。父亲严肃地对他说:“要记住,决不要完全信任任何人。哪怕是最亲密的人,也千万不要轻信!”这件事给约翰留下深刻的印象,以致于在日后的生意场上,他始终保持冷静、警觉的头脑,从而避免了多次失误。

然而,约翰对父亲血液里流淌的东西并没有全盘接受,他完全没有父亲那种花花公子的秉性,而是继承了母亲勤俭的美德。他把这种信念视为“商业训练”,一生中烙守“不俭则匮”的准则;从中他还引申出自己的结论:“只有数字作数。”

约翰·洛克菲勒14岁那年,在克利夫兰中心中学上学。放学后,他常到码头上闲逛,看商人做买卖。有一天,他遇到一个同学,两人边走边聊起来。那个同学问:“约翰,你长大后想干什么?”年轻的洛克菲勒毫不迟疑地说:“我要成为一个有10万美元的人,我准会成功的。”谁曾料到,几十年后,这个蜚声国内外的石油大王,其拥有的财富达10亿美元,是他童年梦想的10万倍!

约翰·洛克菲勒1855年中学毕业后,便决定放弃升大学,到商界谋生。为了寻找工作,他在克利夫兰的街上跑了几个星期,拿定主意要找一个前程远大的职业。他的眼界颇高。他后来回忆道:“我上铁路公司、上银行、上批发商那儿去找工作,小铺小店我是不去的。我可是要干大事的。”

当年9月26日,他在一家经营谷物的商行当上了会计办事员。从此,这个日子就成了他个人日历中的喜庆纪念日,他把它作为第二个生日来庆祝。“就在那儿,我开始了学做生意的生涯,每周工资是4美元。”他追忆道。

他工作勤勤恳恳,不久就养成了对数字的好眼光。他除了记好账外,还为商行的经营出主意。有一次,商行买入一批大理石,打开包装后竟发现高价购进的大理石材上有瑕疵,商行老板沮丧而又无计可施。这时,头脑灵活的洛克菲勒建议把责任推到负责运货的3家运输公司头上,向这3家公司分别提出赔偿损失的要求。这个绝妙的主意使商行得到的赔款比原来高出两倍,商行由此得到一笔“飞”来的横财。洛克菲勒这种天生的经商才能颇得老板赏识,很快给他提了薪,工作第一年他挣得了300美元。

第三年他的年薪提到600美元。但他知道自己对这家商行的贡献远不止此,因此要求加薪到800美元,结果遭到拒绝。洛克菲勒断然决定离开这家商行,自闯天下。

1858年,年仅19岁的洛克菲勒向父亲借款1000美元,加上自己积蓄的800美元,与比他大10岁的克拉克合股创办了一家经营谷物和肉类的公司。这是洛克菲勒生平所办第一家公司。由于经营顺利,第一年就做了4.5万美元的生意,净赚4000美元。第二年年底净赚1.2万美元,洛克菲勒分得6000美元。

洛克菲勒做生意时总是信心十足、雄心勃勃;同时又言而有信,想方设法使自己取信于人。克拉克对洛克菲勒做事仔细十分欣赏,他描述当年的情况说:“他有条不紊到极点,留心细节,不差分毫。如果有一分钱该给我们,他必取来。如果少给客户一分钱,他也要客户拿走。”

这时候在美国宾夕法尼亚州已经发现了石油,成千上万人像当初采金热潮一样拥向采油区。一时间,宾夕法尼亚土地上井架林立,原油产量飞速上升。

克利夫兰的商人们对这一新行当也怦然心动,他们推选年轻有为的经纪商洛克菲勒去宾州原油产地亲自调查一下,以便获得直接而可靠的信息。

经过几日的长途跋涉,洛克菲勒来到产油地,眼前的一切令他触目惊心:到处是高耸的井架、凌乱简陋的小木屋、怪模怪样的挖井设备和储油罐,一片乌烟瘴气,混乱不堪。这种状况令洛克菲勒多少有些沮丧,透过表面的“繁荣”景象,他看到了盲目开采背后潜在的危机。

冷静的洛克菲勒没有急于回去向克利夫兰的商界汇报调查结果,而是在产油地的美利坚饭店住了下来,进一步作实地考察。他每天都看报纸上的市场行情,静静地倾听焦躁而又喋喋不休的石油商人的叙述,认真地作详细的笔记。而他自己则惜字如金,绝不透露什么想法。

Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasnt been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - its much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that youre a gun-nut before theyve got to know you properly.

Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

Its summertime, and the life is easy. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

夏天到了,生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说,这是个旅游的季节,为什呢?因为学校放假,因为天气很好,但最重要的是,休假是我们所应该享有的权利。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的度假地点。

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly" vacation resorts offer special programs for children.

很多美国假期非常特别,和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内,有愈来愈多“适合全家出游”的度假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。

History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations." These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature.

对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢“环保假期”,这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物,并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。

Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Afica to Asia.

有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清凉,有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行,享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

翻开历史的尘封,时间的车轴早已行进了许久,悠久的岁月,悠久的历史,悠久的中华已存在千年,回想在千年的岁月长河里,炎黄子孙以他们无穷的智慧,共同创造了不朽的中华文明。

中华文化如同奔流不息的大河,在广阔的神州大地上,流经千年的岁月,中华文化激励着无数中华儿女以奋斗铸就辉煌。然而,如今在经济全球化的影响下,我们的传统文化却受到巨大的冲击,在网络文化泛滥的波及中,我们的传统文化却被推进了历史的长河中,中华文化命途堪忧!

清明扫墓,这是怀着对祖先的崇敬,中秋赏月;这是寄托着对亲人的思念……当圣诞的钟声敲响时,许许多多的人都沉浸在这西方的欢乐中,他们忘记了古老的中国似乎也有这样的新春祝福;当情人节在中国兴起的时候,他们似乎忘了在七夕的夜空下,牛郎和织女那千年的等待,他们忘的是悠久的中华文化。

琴棋书画,这些中华文化辉煌的见证,可是如今又有多少人了解这文化的瑰宝呢?虽然如今在校园里掀起了一场“艺术热”,学习美术和音乐的人很多,但是学美术的并非是中国画,却是西方的素描;学音乐学的并非是中国的古典乐,而是西方的流行音乐,难道他们忘了中国画的神韵之美了吗?难道他们不懂得中华文化是千百年来劳动人民智慧的结晶吗?

汉字,这是中华文化源远流长的见证,与其相伴而生的便是书法,但是随着手机、电脑的普及,我们的书写能力便慢慢地退步了,我们又有多少人能写出古人那样刚劲、潇洒的书法呢?恐怕当需要手写时,看到的只是一个个蹩脚的符号,中国汉字的那种形体之美早已消失得无影无踪了,但又有多少人在意过呢?现今写错字,提笔忘字更是常有发生,作为一个中国人,连我们自己的文字都无法书写自如,这又能怪谁呢?一切都只不过是我们自己不注意罢了。

央视曾播出《舌尖上的中国》这部纪录片,它所讲述的是中国传统的美食文化,这让我们更深地了解了中华文化,然而在西方“快餐文化”的冲击之下,人们似乎渐渐地忘了真正的美食文化,就此而言,他们忘的不仅仅是美食文化,更是包含美食文化的传统中华文化。

当西方掀起一场“汉语热”时,当“孔子学院”在世界兴起时,当中国国学走向世界时,作为华夏儿女的我们却对国学漠然视之,只觉得国学难懂、难学,便放弃学习的信念,留下的只有于丹等国学大师在那里孤独地呼唤,这是我们炎黄子孙应该做的吗?从不曾想到,许多人已经将祖先的历史忘得一干二净了,他们难道真的忘了屈子在汩罗江边深情呼唤,忘了子美在浣花溪畔忧国忧民,忘了东坡在赤壁之下豪情壮志,忘了这博大精深的中华文化了吗?

中华文化正一步一步地被我们推向历史的长河中,朋友们,都快点清醒吧!保护属于我们自己的一片文化净土,莫要让中华文化湮没于历史之中,因为中华文化正是辉煌的时刻,它所需要的是我们对其传承与弘扬。

我国是四大文明古国之一,拥有着五千年的历史,承载着五千年的文化。在我心中,中国的文化是那样的神秘,那样的宽阔。我们从小到大,厚重的华夏文化一直萦绕在我们身边。因为有历史文化,生长在中国土地上的花儿多了一份娇艳,生长在中国土地上的人们也多了一份幸福。

当我们在读文言文的时候,我们心中倍感自豪,因为每一篇文言文都记录着诗人的理想和抱负。记得刘禹锡写的《陋室铭》吗?其中有着这样一句:“斯是陋室,唯吾德馨”。刘禹锡即使生活在简陋的屋子里,但因为有崇高的理想,从不觉得自己的居室十分简陋;记得爱国诗人文天祥吗?他曾经说过这样一句话:“人生自古谁无死,留取丹心照汗青”,多么伟大的爱国诗人啊!即使在巨大的诱惑之下,仍改变不了他的一颗爱国之心!

我们就是这样的,一字一句地在文言文中去慢慢了解历史悠久的中国。中国文化博大精深!古代的四大发明就是文化的体现,还有那不朽的万里长城,是古代人民在没有任何机器下搭建而成的堡垒,它保护着我们中国的文化,保护着历史悠久的中国!

记得近代的文学家、思想家、革命家鲁迅吗?他是我国文学史上一颗璀璨的明珠。他试图用他如匕首般锋利的笔尖改变了国民的愚昧、麻木的思想,用他的努力为中国文化的发展埋下伏笔。他为弘扬我们中华文化做出不可磨灭的贡献。现在的人们不知怎么忘掉了自己本国的文化,而去喜欢和追求其它国家和民族的文化?而我想对这样的人们说一句“错了,你们真的错了,你们将几千年的文化抛于脑后,不去认真探解中国文化的奥秘,这样做有什么意义”。

同学们,不要再去追求他国的文化了,停下你的脚步回头看看北京的故宫吧!故宫的一砖一瓦、一沙一砾都记录着一个文化。故宫是中华民族文化的集结地,相比之下,还是常回头看看中国的文化吧!可是,生活中的文化究竟在哪里?我们不断地询问,不断地探索,不断地思考,但是,在我看来,只要你有一颗善于发现的心,你就会知道,文化就在我们身边,它在雄奇的五岳中,在历史的小路上,在语言的花丛中,在漫步的一呼一吸之中,当你真正静下心去观察的时候,你也许才会真正懂得什么叫真文化,而什么又叫假文化,最终,你才会知道执着与守护。

同学们,文化不是用说的,而是应该用实际行动去证明的,我们生活在有文化有文明的中国,是我们的幸福,我们为什么不多多的去珍惜,去发扬,反而让我们的文化形如流水从我们手中流落呢?去年,在香港等地出现了大黄鸭,游客们纷纷拍照、合影,许多人看到它的外形而去拍照喜欢,但又有多少人看到了这其中所包含的真正含义呢?

同学们,认真地发现生活的文化,认真地去探索,然后,请保护和发扬中国的悠久文化吧!

A folk culture is a small isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central religious concept of Demut "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

What Is American Dream?

什么是美国梦?

What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?

什么是美国梦?所有的美国人都是一样的吗?它是虚构的事吗?它是为了追求更好的生活吗?美国梦随着时间是如何改变的?有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢?每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想,你的梦想是什么呢?

The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道:美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上,每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想,并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资,而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序,在这种秩序下,男人和女人不论他们出身如何,社会地位如何,都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。

In the united States Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?

在美国的《独立宣言》中,我们的创始人指出:“……所有的人人生而平等,创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,这其中包括生命权,自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础?

Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?

农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的大城市,抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地,他们是在实现自己权利吗?移民来到美国,是为了自己想要的生活,追求自由、幸福和梦想吗?二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢,安定下来,有居住的房子,汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想?所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗?马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗?马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗?

Some say, that the American Dream has become the pursuit of material prosperity—that people work more hours to get bigger cars, fancier homes, the fruits of prosperity for their families—but have less time to enjoy their prosperity. Others say that the American Dream is beyond the reach of the working poor who must work two jobs for their familys survival. Yet others look toward a new American Dream with less focus on financial gain and more emphasis on living a simple, fulfilling life.

有人说,美国梦已经演变成对物质繁荣的追求——为了买更高级的车,住更豪华的住宅,改善家庭经济状况,人们工作时间增长——却没有足够时间来享受他们的劳动成果。也有人说是美国梦是那些努力工作,为了养家一人兼两职,但是报酬却很低的穷人无法实现的。然而,还有一部分人开始追求新的美国梦,即注重简单而充实的生活,更少地关注经济利益。

篇8:介绍美国文化英语

全文共 1589 字

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

第一篇:美国文化

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

翻译:

本周四是感恩节。作者O Henry称之为纯粹是美国的一天。感恩节不是一个宗教节日。但它有仪式的意义。一些美国人参加宗教仪式在感恩节的前一天或是感恩节的早上。还有的长途跋涉和他们的家人团聚。他们有一个大型晚宴庆祝活动的主要部分。对许多美国人来说,感恩节是唯一一次当所有家族成员。这个节日是家人团聚的时间。感恩节这一周通常是交通最繁忙的时期。然而,专家说,今年可能会不同。9月11日,成千上万的人死于恐怖分子劫持飞机袭击的建筑物在华盛顿特区和纽约市。现在很多人说,他们担心飞机上飞行。旅游专家表示,近6%更少的人将使长途旅行这个感恩节与去年相比。许多美国人通常拜访家人和朋友乘飞机本周将改为短途驾车。一些心理健康专家认为,袭击令人们感到恐慌。他们说人们感到更安全、更快乐。比其他任何节日,感恩节是一个庆祝和家人回家。很多人说,今年他们特别感谢家人和朋友,好东西在他们的生活中。在感恩节,人们享受着一整天的烹调、饮食和说话。传统的感恩节大餐都包括火鸡内填满面包和火鸡一起做熟。其他传统的感恩节食物与土耳其是红薯,越橘和南瓜派。据说商店出售更多的食物在感恩节比其他任何时候,在感恩节,许多人吃更多的食物比其他任何时候。多年来,美国人增加了新传统感恩节的庆祝活动。例如,许多专业和大学足球比赛是在感恩节。一些游戏是在国家电视台播出。

第二篇:美国文化

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(开拓, 经营) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise succeand heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Succeis the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The proceand result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.

American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social claand make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".

翻译:

美国文化的主要内容是强调个人价值,追求民主和自由,促进开拓(开拓,经营)和竞争和现实的需要和实用性。其核心是个人主义:自我第一,个人需要首先,追求个人利益和享受,强调实现个人价值self-strive和自行设计。个性与追求这种类型的有意建立定制的个人主义有其优点和缺点,它给激励人们,让他们发挥他们的潜力和智慧,因此加快整个种族和民族的发展;另一方面很难如果每个人都以自我为中心的人保持良好的关系从而使整个社会缺乏团结。

美国公民强调成就和尊重英雄。他们有很大的感觉在心里称赞succeand英雄。个人成就是其中一个最高的价值在美国人心中。美国人有很强的成功的感觉。Succeis大多数美国人的追求,这是他们吸引力的未来,前进的动力。他们认为一个人的个人价值相当于他的成就在他的职业生涯。一些成功人士在他们的职业生涯如企业家、科学家、艺术家和各类超级开始成为现代英雄。的proceand结果如何努力已经成为社会文化价值的参照系和现实生活教科书,父母教育他们的孩子。

美国社会中很有运动本身。这些运动是体现在两个方面:运动中位置和运动在社会。美国相对的开放更多的自由。发达的交通和冒险好动的传统使许多美国人从乡村流到城市,又从市中心流向郊区;从北方流到南方阳光地带,从一个城市到另一个地方。美国社会阶级不像欧洲国家并不是那么稳定。此外,公共教育的普及,使沿着社会阶梯向上流动成为可能。许多人生活在美国,无论他们是印第安人还是移民海外,有相同的梦想改变他们一生社会claand使梦想成真通过他们自己的努力。这就是他们通常被称为“美国梦”。

第三篇:美国文化

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

翻译:

美国文化,从某种意义上说,是欧洲文化的延伸,因为美国人的语言、人口构成和她来自欧洲的精神基础。另一方面,美国文化与欧洲,因为欧洲移民在北美大陆印第安人赶走后,在一个贫瘠的荒野地创建一个惊人的是灿烂的文明。因此,在美国谈论文化习俗和社会规范,有必要考虑相同的欧洲和美国的文化,但也注意到这两个异性。文化习俗是一个广泛的范围和复杂性的话题,人们参与社会生活,在各方面的关系。

的宽容。

美国是一个移民国家,来自世界各地的祖先。人移民到美国,不仅在位置移动,而且在他们的国家和风俗理事会的新居住地。杂,人们分歧非常明显,因为差异是非常普遍的,人们并不特别关注团结。随着时间的推移,美国人的文化习俗形成了一个更高层次的公差(公差),宽容不同文化和不同的评估,一个可接受的态度。在这一点上,美国社会可行的比世界上其他国家的习俗。

从政治角度看,这种宽容的性能追求自由和维护自由的权利。从宗教,它体现在不同信仰的和谐共存。从生活的角度,它出现在不同的社区,不同的民族生活在和平。简而言之,在美国,每个人基本上可以任意选择不同的观念、信仰、传统、习俗和生活方式,人们也可以保持相当大的程度上,他们的习俗和乐器。例如,犹太人可以庆祝他们的宗教节日,而基督教徒,他们的圣诞节和复活节。例如,美国,中国在唐人街中国生活和工作,同样,越南移民在他们的“小西贡”按越南的方式经营和从事各种活动。

美国人的宽容,除了上面的美国是一个非移民因素的国家,和经常运动的美国人。众所周知,美国历史发展的一个重要组成部分的西部地区的发展的历史。当时,美国开拓者或徒步旅行、骑马或汽车,从东到西,从南到北,哪里有机遇,Jiuwang安置。频繁的迁移和不断更换栖息地,这样人们将永远是“移动”,以及偶尔的现象所面临的不同更容易宽容和接受。此外,经常迁移还能够帮助人们扩大视野,了解更广泛的知道,不同的实践同情、理解,并逐渐形成多样性而非均匀性开放的概念。

强大的美国人宽容,所以很少有美国人将自己的意志强加于他人,与中国孔子“别人不想,不要对“Guxun像。例如,丈夫可能是个共和党人,但他必须不支持民主党迫使他的妻子改变政治立场。同样,也许妈妈是天主教徒,但她决不能强迫她进入一个穆斯林把儿子改变宗教信仰。在日常生活和习惯的业务在正常情况下,这种宽容精神是一种常见的发生,司空见惯。

篇11:观看《鉴史问廉》第五集:穿越历史的文化之力

全文共 7238 字

+ 加入清单

【编者按】2015年1月9日起,由河南省纪委、中央电视台、河南省新闻出版广电局联合摄制的八集文化纪录片《鉴史问廉》在中央电视台纪录频道(CCTV-9)黄金时段播出。即日起,本网同步刊发该片脚本,以飨广大网友。

1月13日晚,该片将播出第五集《文化之力》。在中国几千年的历史中,廉洁、修身、勤政的思想以及追求公平正义的价值取向,早已成为中华传统文化的核心内容,融入了传统文化艺术的方方面面。文化的力量历久而弥新。穿越历史的风雨,蕴含在文化深处的巨大能量直到今天还在激励着人们。

本集将通过剖析《诗经》、《七品芝麻官》、《窦娥冤》、《岳阳楼记》等经典艺术作品及其背后的人物和故事,从戏曲、小说、绘画、建筑、楹联等传统文化形式和典型作品中展示廉政建设的作用和力量。

【片花】公元前484年,孔子结束了周游列国的生活,回到故乡鲁国。

回到鲁国后,鲁哀公问孔子:“请问怎样才能把政事治理好?”孔子说:“政者,正也。君为正,则百姓从正矣”,意思是说,国家的管理者行得端、做得正,百姓就会跟着走正道。

几千年来,正心、修身、齐家、治国、平天下是无数儒家文人士大夫的不懈追求,也是为官从政者一生戮力奋斗的终极目标。几千年来,包括儒家思想在内的中国传统思想文化中的精华,对中华文明的形成和发展,对中华民族精神的丰富和弘扬,都产生了十分重要的作用。

在古代,儒家思想一直是中国传统文化的主流,这其中的廉洁、修身、勤政的思想以及追求公平正义的价值取向,早已成为中华传统文化的核心内容,融入了传统文化艺术的方方面面。

在漫长的历史中,人们通过文化艺术颂扬光明与希望,鞭笞黑暗与腐朽,彰显着中国人对清廉与正义的不懈追求。这种蕴含在文化深处的巨大能量,直到今天还在激励着人们。

【解说】河北省河间市诗经村乡,被人们称为“诗经文化”发祥地。我们今天看到的《诗经》版本,就是汉代大儒、毛苌叔侄在这里注释传授而来,这里因此得名“诗经村”。在这里,《诗经》在乡间村民中备受推崇。

两千年前源于中原大地的《诗经》,直到今天仍然深深地扎根在这片土地上。这中间有着怎样的文化密码呢?

【采访】中国先秦史学会原副会长蔡运章:

诗三百,一言以蔽之曰思无邪,就是《诗经》全篇它表达的都是正音,包括为官要清正,为官要廉洁,像《硕鼠》这些都是对于贪官的鞭挞。

【解说】作为中国第一部诗歌总集,《诗经》保留了大量的民间诗歌。在《诗经》中的《硕鼠》一诗中,百姓们将搜刮赋敛无度的统治者比喻成贪婪可憎的大田鼠,编成歌谣抨击,直到今天这首诗还被人们所熟知。

回望大地,我们不难发现,在从古到今的诗歌、歌谣、对联等民间文化中,讽刺鞭挞贪官污吏与赞美清官廉吏从来都是并行不悖的。这就是文化的力量和生命力。

张满堂,河南省宝丰县马街村村民,他的一个头衔是马街说书研究会会长。为了守护好马街这个曲艺家园,传承好这个原生态的民间艺术,十多年来,这位年逾花甲的老人带着摄像机,奔走10万多公里,四处收集民间曲艺节目。

在有着“中国曲艺之乡”的宝丰县,700余年来,始终保留着“颂廉诛贪”的文化传统。《包青天》、《清明烈》等50余部传统历史曲目,一直是人们喜闻乐见的优秀节目,人们在经久不衰的传唱中,表达着自己对清明政治以及社会公正的期盼和向往。

和张满堂一样,广阔的乡间也是河南省鹤壁市豫剧团常年活动的地方。这是剧团今年以来的第100场下乡演出了,和每一次下乡演出时一样,一路上金不换团长在认真地给演员们讲演出的细节和注意事项。

近些年在政府的支持下,剧团有了文化下乡的流动舞台车,告别了当初“大地做舞台,天空当幕帘”的艰难时光。但是老百姓对传统戏曲的热爱始终没变,人们心中对戏曲形象中的七品芝麻官的角色寄托始终没变。

“当官不为民做主,不如回家卖红薯。”一句经典的台词,因为有了对公平和正义的诉求,就有了穿越时空的力量。1979年,一部戏曲电影风靡了整个中国,这部由北京电影制片厂根据豫剧《七品芝麻官》改编的电影,成为当时中国人一道精致的文化大餐。

当时剧中扮演七品芝麻官的豫剧表演艺术家牛得草,正是如今鹤壁豫剧团团长金不换的恩师。为什么一个小小芝麻官的角色,能够成就两代艺术家?为什么根据豫剧这个地方性戏剧改编的戏曲电影,会在中国人心中引起强烈的共鸣呢?

【采访】河南省鹤壁市豫剧团团长、表演艺术家金不换:

所以它已经是扎根在几代人的心目当中,到现在,小孩们提起了《七品芝麻官》,他都知道是谁演的,已经活灵活现地出现在人的心目当中,很难以被他忘掉,这就叫演活了。

【采访】南京大学教授董健:

因为中国的传统戏喜欢通过讽刺幽默,而不是正面的悲剧,因为一些黑暗的反动势力,是不怕老百姓哭,而怕老百姓笑的。

【解说】在奸臣当道的时候,人们敢怒不敢言,无法反抗像严嵩这样的大贪官,只能牢牢记住贪官的恶行。严嵩倒台之后,民间艺人们编排出了《七品芝麻官》这样的故事,来表达人们对贪腐的愤怒。民间流传的这位正直、机智的唐知县与严嵩亲戚斗智斗勇的故事,寄托了人们对公平正义和清官的向往。

【采访】南京大学教授董健:

“当官不为民作主,不如回家卖红薯”这句话老百姓听来还是很顺的,这是一种为民请命,典型的为民请命,为民请命就是为民作主。

【采访】河南省鹤壁市豫剧团团长、表演艺术家金不换:

所以说现在是老百姓希望这样的官员多多出现,所以演了《七品芝麻官》,它不但让群众受到教育,现在我们的干部也受到教育,七品芝麻官、包青天都是一面镜子。

【解说】和《七品芝麻官》一样,另一个由戏曲而改编成的电影剧目《窦娥冤》,同样也向人们传达着这种公平和正义的力量。不同的是,《窦娥冤》的传唱历史更加悠久,影响也更加深远。

《窦娥冤》是关汉卿最有名的代表作,它被称为中国十大悲剧之一。在当代中国的戏曲舞台上,《窦娥冤》先后被改编成八十多个地方戏上演。

在中国人的意识中,“窦娥”已经成为冤屈的代名词。在元代的戏曲和小说中,像《窦娥冤》这样类似题材的作品非常多。在元杂剧中,贪官污吏、地痞流氓成了主要角色,而贪赃枉法这些反映社会不公的故事,则成了大部分元代杂剧的主要情节。

【采访】南开大学历史学院教授、元史研究会会长李治安:

他们可以说是处于水深火热之中,所以自然有这方面的诉求,现实上得不到展现,就通过这种戏剧的形式,在关汉卿的《窦娥冤》中间得到一种展现。

【采访】中国艺术研究院戏曲研究所所长刘祯:

元杂剧,元代的戏曲作品,出现大量的批判社会,揭露现实的作品,那么它确实是,元代社会现实的一种折射。

【解说】一些历史学家认为,元朝的腐败在中国历史上非常严重。元代赋税繁重,官吏贪赃成风,呈恶性发展态势。

到了元末,官吏贪腐进一步恶性发展。他们敲诈勒索名目繁多,不仅办事要靠钱打通关节,逢年过节、迎来送往也成为搜刮敛财的借口,甚至连皇帝派来颁布旨意的使臣都会向地方官索贿。

最终,这个严重腐败的王朝在中国历史上存在了不到一百年,就被农民起义的烈火吞噬。

正是看到了这样的社会现实,感受到了官场的黑暗和污浊,于是,元代剧作家们在剧本中塑造了形形色色的官吏形象,来揭露当时吏治的腐败,以及人们对清明政治的向往。

宋元“说话”技艺发展到明代后期,逐渐被说书所代替,随着市民阶层的出现,中国古代小说的发展进入了高峰期。冯梦龙是今天最有影响的明代作家之一,他创作的《喻世明言》、《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》被后世称为“三言”。“三言”从多个角度反映了当时市民阶层的生活和思想感情,成为明代社会生活的百科全书。

在“三言”中,有许多断案和清官的故事,它反映了当时的人们对公平正义和清廉政治的向往。包公以及南宋著名的贪官贾似道的故事,也出现在了冯梦龙的笔下,成为“三言”众多短篇故事中的精彩篇章。

【采访】苏州市冯梦龙研究会副会长侯楷炜:

他那些文学当时讲起来是吃不香的,不但吃不香,而且要受到当时统治阶级的压制的,所以他接触的都是最基层的,最大众化的。

【解说】崇祯7年,61岁的冯梦龙来到荒僻的山区小县福建寿宁任知县。

冯梦龙初到寿宁,见到的是一片破败景象。冯梦龙知道,在一个贫穷而又偏僻的山区小县做官很难有显著的政绩。

尽管如此,他还是认真地履行自己的职责。据《寿宁待志》记载,上任之后,冯梦龙在县里筑城墙、建谯楼、设司更、办学堂,为寿宁的老百姓办了很多实事。

因为敬佩前任县令戴镗,冯梦龙在县衙修建了“戴清亭”,并写了这样一首诗:“地僻人难到,山多云易生。老梅标冷趣,我与尔同清”。这首诗实际上是冯梦龙的自我表白,他希望自己也能像戴镗一样,做一个清明廉洁的地方官。

冯梦龙在寿宁担任县令的四年间,本着“治官如治家,一念爱民如爱子”的为官理念,得到了“遇民以恩”的赞誉。在如今的寿宁,人们不仅编排出了很多戏曲剧目来纪念冯梦龙,而且还把他的形象供奉在了文庙,虔诚地祭拜。

【采访】福建寿宁县文联主席李安:

应该讲他到寿宁来的时候,正是晚明时期,社会是动荡,到处都是烽烟四起,朝廷也是非常的腐败,他是在这种背景下来到寿宁担任知县。

【采访】原寿宁地方志委员会主任黄立云:

百姓们对他念念不忘,哪怕是已经过了三百多年了,还把他当成神一样来供奉他,把他称之为神了,因为他做了对百姓非常有益的事情,所以人们就以这种办法来回报他。

【解说】清代著名文学家和书画家郑板桥,有着和冯梦龙相似的人生经历。位于江苏兴化市区这座小小的院落,就是郑板桥的故居。晚年辞官回乡的郑板桥,在这里走过了人生的最后岁月。

“扬州八怪”之首的郑板桥不仅以诗书画闻名于世,更以为官清廉、勤政爱民而被地方上的百姓所铭记。在山东潍县出任知县时,郑板桥曾经写下了这样一首诗:“衙斋卧听萧萧竹,疑是民间疾苦声;些小吾曹州县吏,一枝一叶总关情”。

郑板桥的人生和宦海生涯历经坎坷,但是郑板桥并没有改变自己为官处世的准则。他曾经作了一首名为《竹石》的诗勉励自己:“咬定青山不放松,立根原在破岩中,千磨万击还坚劲,任尔东西南北风。”

善于画竹的郑板桥一生喜爱竹子,在他看来,宁折不弯的竹子是自己清廉和操守的象征。对今天的人们来说,“板桥竹风”已经成为中国传统廉政文化的一个象征。

【采访】河南大学副教授展龙:

那么他为什么喜欢画竹,因为竹子那种宁折不屈,空心如玉的品格,恰恰符合或者契合于郑板桥清正廉洁的内心。所以说板桥竹风已经成为,中国传统廉政文化的一个重要的象征。

【采访】南京师范大学教授郦波:

他见惯过浮华,也了解过贫苦,在这时候他选择的是站在百姓的立场上,站在这个出发点上,体现自己文人狷介高格的一面。

【解说】除了竹子,在中国传统文化意境中,梅花、兰花、菊花也受到的偏爱,它们被称为“四君子”。梅、兰、竹、菊是中国人感物喻志的象征,也是古代诗画中最常见的题材,人们常用梅兰竹菊这“四君子”来象征文人士大夫的清高品德,和为官者的廉洁清勤。

除了戏曲、小说、绘画等,在中国古代的建筑、对联等文化中,我们也能感受历史深处的浩然正气,体会积淀在传统文化中的力量与正义、清廉与操守。

在河南内乡县衙,这里大量的楹联形成了一道独特的风景。在县衙三省堂挂着这样一副楹联:“吃百姓之饭,穿百姓之衣,莫道百姓可欺,自己也是百姓;得一官不荣,失一官不辱,勿说一官无用,地方全靠一官”。来到县衙的人们都会在这里驻足观看,细细地思考其中的微言大义,体味道德文化的厚重力量。

【采访】内乡县衙博物馆馆长王晓杰:

这幅楹联是清康熙十九年,我们内乡的知县高以永所撰写的,他到内乡之后,看到我们内乡经济很箫条这种场面,他自己感觉到责任重大,撰写了我们现在三省堂所悬挂的这幅对联。

【采访】中国先秦史学会原副会长蔡运章:

内乡县衙的这幅对联,其实它是中国古代民本主义思想的典型反映,楹联文化它事实唱的都是正气歌,都是正面地引导激励人们向前进,它对那种贪腐、动乱,或者社会邪恶事实是一种鞭挞。

【解说】据清康熙《内乡县志》等志书记载,康熙十八年,高以永出任内乡知县,由于常年战争,百姓或死于战火,或逃亡他乡,内乡县内土地荒芜,人烟稀少。高以永刚一到任,就开始赈济灾民,向流民提供种子耕牛,组织他们返乡开荒,六年内不收赋税。

《内乡县志》记载,在高以永的努力下,数年之内开垦荒地40多万亩,百姓家有蓄积,全县社会安定,民风淳厚。当高以永离任的时候,百姓们自发在县衙前为他立碑,以示感念。

高以永为官一共十一年,他在任上勤于政事,生活清苦。最后离任时,全部财产只有随身的衣服和几本书。

河南省伊川县许营村,北宋伟大的文学家、政治家范仲淹就安葬在这里。每天,70多岁的范钦忠老人都会出现在这个叫做范园的地方。作为范仲淹后人,他已经在这里守了20多年墓了。

这里地处偏僻,平时很少有人光顾。今年82岁的范章老人,无疑算是光顾范园最多的一位客人了。作为范仲淹第28代孙,他正在找民间的画家帮忙,绘制范仲淹的生平事迹,计划在范园增设一个叫“忧乐亭”的景点。

与范园的冷清形成鲜明对比的,则是千里之外的一个著名的旅游景点:湖南岳阳的岳阳楼。浩浩汤汤,横无际涯。一座亭台楼阁盛名远播,缘于范仲淹的一篇千古名文。

但是,没有多少人知道,这篇文章是范仲淹在距岳阳楼千里之外的河南邓州写的。一生没有去过岳阳楼的范仲淹为什么会写这样一篇文章,这其中有着怎样的机缘巧合?

作为一位杰出的政治家,范仲淹一生的仕途浮沉始终与百姓疾苦有关。

公元1043年,宋朝对夏战争惨败,积累已久的社会矛盾被迅速点燃,整个国家民变和兵变四起。范仲淹奉诏调入京城开封,在宋仁宗的支持下,以整肃吏治为核心的改革“庆历新政”开始了。

范仲淹亲自审查各路监司的名册,发现不称职者,便从名册上一笔勾掉。枢密副使富弼对范仲淹说:“您一笔勾掉很容易,但是这一笔之下可要使他一家人痛哭呀!”范仲淹回答说:“让一家人哭总比让一个地方的老百姓哭要好吧!”

在范仲淹的严格考核下,一大批尸位素餐的寄生虫和贪官污吏被除了名,一批干才能员被提拔到重要岗位,国家开始有了起色。

【采访】北京大学教授中国范仲淹文化研究会会长范国强:

穷则变,变则通,通则久。庆历新政实施以后,无论在官场还是在社会都起了很大的变化,在官场广开言路,真正实施了北宋的君臣共治,大家来提建设性的意见,提错没关系。

【采访】复旦大学历史学系讲师 姜鹏:

很多时候改革的时候我们注意,我们今天认为它不合理的很多制度,需要改的制度,可能当它在被制定出来的时候 ,在之前的一段时间里面,它是真的起到过作用的。

【采访】中央党校哲学部教授王杰:

范仲淹的庆历改革,可以说他的一个核心的问题就是要裁减冗员,精减机构,但是他的这种做法,可以说触动了当时官僚阶层的利益。

【解说】最终,这场革除弊政的改革失败了。范仲淹被解除了参知政事的职务,贬官到陕西彬州。此时,范仲淹已近五十八岁。边塞的严寒威胁着他的健康,他被允许移到稍暖的河南邓州做知州。

公元1046年9月的一天,范仲淹收到了他的朋友、被贬官到湖南岳阳的滕子京送来的一幅《洞庭晚秋图》。滕子京重修岳阳楼,请范仲淹作记。

面对这幅气势磅礴的巨幅山水画,范仲淹难掩心中的激情,在触景抒情之外,他将自己多年政治生涯的思考,熔铸在这篇题记之中。不以物喜,不以己悲;居庙堂之高则忧其民;处江湖之远则忧其君。最终范仲淹写下了这句为国家前途命运担忧,寄托着以天下为己任的政治抱负的千古名言,“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”。这句话,不仅浓缩了范仲淹一生的人格境界和政治理想,也成为有良知、有抱负的士大夫们的追求。

【采访】复旦大学历史学系讲师姜鹏:

宋代是士大夫政治主体意识高涨的一个时代,朱熹说这样的一种精神风貌,是范仲淹带来的,就是一种敢于以天下为己任的这样一种精神。

【采访】北京大学教授中国范仲淹文化研究会会长范国强:

“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”是范仲淹的千古绝唱,范公的先忧后乐,就是为天地立心,为生民立命,为往圣继绝学,为万世开太平。

【解说】在邓州,当年由范仲淹兴建并写下《岳阳楼记》的花洲书院,已成为邓州人最为宝贵的精神文化遗产。范仲淹清正廉洁的人格魅力以及“忧乐”思想,已经深深地沉淀在了中国人的精神世界中。

【解说】北京天安门前的这对汉白玉华表,已经静静地在这里矗立了五个多世纪。在这对华表上人们看到了时间的痕迹,更感受到了中华传统文化的凝重与深邃。

今天,华表已经成为中华文化的象征之一。相传在上古尧舜时代,人们会在交通要道和公共建筑旁边树立一个木柱,作为识别道路的标志。行人还可以在上面刻写意见,这就是后来华表的由来。

【采访】上海市委党校教授:

古代这个诽谤的意思就是指可以议论是非,可以提供自己的批评意见,对官员可以提供一种监督。

【采访】厦门大学教授傅小凡:

就像现在有留言箱,比如说什么市长留言,校长留言,专门反映民情的。

【解说】随着历史的演进,“谤木”逐渐被石质的华表所取代。它承担的收集、反映民意的作用逐渐消失了。但是,人们一直没有忘记华表所具有的象征意义,那就是它象征着百姓对官员和皇帝的批评。

【采访】中央党校哲学部教授王杰:

在华表上老百姓的建言也被这种云龙文,各种形式的东西所代替,但是它所表现的象征意义仍然没有消失,它仍然反映着老百姓对清廉政府的一个向往。

【采访】中国先秦史学会原副会长蔡运章:

华表从远古社会的图腾神物到尧舜时期的谤木,一直到我们现在天安门前树立的华表,事实上它现在已经成为中华民族文化的象征,或者说中华民族文化的标识,在人民的心目中具有非常神圣的地位。

【解说】历史是天下苍生书写的。每一种文化符号的背后,都有对现实的警示与告诫。穿越历史的风雨,人们感受到了历史深处传递出来的声音。走过时间的长河,文化的力量历久而弥新。

在中国历史上,文化的力量影响造就出了一代代以天下为己任的清官廉吏。无论是处江湖之远还是居庙堂之高,他们始终胸怀天下黎民百姓,丰富着中华民族的精神世界,彰显着文化的力量和正气。

博大精深的中华优秀传统文化是我们在世界文化激荡中站稳脚跟的根基;如今,中华优秀传统文化已经成为中华民族的基因,植根在每一个中国人的心里,产生着无以伦比的动力和源泉。

篇12:历史文化遗存,你们要好好的作文1000字

全文共 1245 字

+ 加入清单

暑假的一天下午,常州下了一场小雨,炎热褪去,于是我和好友一起前往觅渡桥小学隔壁的瞿秋白故居和瞿秋白纪念馆。

瞿秋白故居原为瞿氏的私家祠堂,是瞿氏家族供奉和祭祀祖宗的宅院。故居分东西两院,地势逐进抬高,寓含步步高升之意。祠堂第二间,在“我是江南第一燕,为衔春色上云梢”的屏风前面树立着古铜色的瞿秋白石膏像,身姿矫健,神采秀奕,表现的是青年儒雅、书生味正浓的革命家形象。东院为厢房,瞿秋白一家于1912年到1916年就住在东院,里面安放的100多件家具和用品。

瞿秋白纪念馆是一座两层楼四合院式的仿古建筑。馆门两侧的墙壁上对称地各镶嵌一方铜雕,右边铜雕的主画面是瞿秋白与列宁,侧重表现的是革命家、理论家和宣传家的瞿秋白。左边铜雕的主画面是瞿秋白与鲁迅,侧重表现的是文学家、翻译家和文化旗手的瞿秋白。展览大厅有瞿秋白生平事迹的照片、文字、实物和雕像,陈列《瞿秋白生平事迹展览》,并推出《纪念瞿秋白书画展》等专题陈列。

瞿秋白白纪念馆正门外的广场上立有名为《觅渡,觅渡》的石碑,上刻有瞿秋白的文章。

乍一看,这里还是非常好的,古色古香,绿树成荫,文化底蕴十足,但是细细游览,我和好友的眉渐渐皱起。这里,尤其是故居,已是被现代元素充斥得“面目全非”,看得我俩那个心痛加无语啊。

故居的左侧硬生生地被剖开了一面墙,开了一家店,店门口还挂了块卖手抓饼的招牌,招牌上居然还写了一行字:“祖传手艺,绝对正宗。”我的个天啊,那位开店的大神,您到底是怀着一种怎样的心情开这个店的。别告诉我手抓饼是瞿家发明的!

老宅中有随处可见的空调,院中停放着的一辆电动车,一间屋里甚至还有一台电视,“看来瞿秋白他老人家还挺富有的,晚清就用得起这些东西。”好友调侃道,眼里却流露出浓浓的悲哀之情。

工作人员推荐我们去洪深纪念馆看看,于是我们俩又去了洪深家,七拐八拐才找到,周边还在施工,砖头啥的还在噼里啪啦地往下掉,吓得我俩急忙窜进了大门。

到了洪深纪念馆我才发现瞿秋白故居的遭遇算好的了,洪深纪念馆才是最倒霉的。正厅大概好久未打扫了,桌上已是一层灰,蜘蛛在假山盆景上耀武扬威;厅后的小径上也已有了一层厚厚的青苔,像是许久没有人走了;厢房内也是一团糟,家具残破不堪,连本来的颜色都看不出来了。好歹是清代名士的家啊,怎么搞的跟个破庙似的。正想着,侧屋传来一声吼:“老头子!三缺一!快死过来!”

这里应该是素有“三吴重镇,八邑名都”之称、享有“天下名士有部落,东南无与常匹俦”之誉的常州的骄傲才对啊,应该是人头攒动却又只有解说员一个人清晰的声音才对啊,应该有好多学生过来学习、感受文化的芬芳才对啊,但是现在,这里算什么啊。不但古迹被毁得面目全非,连最可贵的文韵都已消失殆尽,哪里还有半点文人之家的样子。难道我们就不能好好善待它们吗?

我要在这里大声呼吁:

1、派专人管理、维护,有必要的话可以制定相关保护条例;

2、定期组织学生参观、学习,发挥文化遗存应有的作用;

3、举办一些相关的活动,提高故居的知名度。

历史文化遗存,你们要好好的!等着我,我还会再来的。

自从上了初中,历史这门学科就出现在我们的视线里。我非常喜欢历史;所以,我在寒假期间去了趟北京,走进历史。

出于自身对历史的喜爱,在放假的第二天,我和我的家人就踏上了这段北京之旅。三天后,我们到达了北京;迫不及待的我拉着家人直接坐上了前往此行的目的地“中国历史博物馆”。不负众人所托,两个小时后,一座古色古香的建筑呈现在了我们的眼前;远远望去,给人一种气派庄严的感觉。那就是“中国历史博物馆”。我怀着一种兴奋地心情走进了博物馆,哇!我被眼前的景物惊呆了。四面几根打柱子冲天而起,支撑着整座博物馆。

我们走进了博物馆的甲骨文专区,专区的标示牌上写着甲骨文样的文字。看着这些文字,让我陡升一种民族自豪感:中国人是世界上最智慧的的民族,我为自己是一个中国人二感到自豪。

走上宽阔的甬道,只见两旁的玻璃上镶着一块块仿制的甲骨,上面刻着一个个象形文字。我便好奇地趴在上面,辨认了起来,虽然我不认识。后来,我们转到了它们的背面。哦!原来后面是前面刻着的甲骨文译文。我这才知道,这些文字主要记载的是当时人们的狩猎方式和文化传统。

走进博物馆的主展厅,首先映入眼帘的是一块一人多高的大石头,上面刻着两个鲜红的大字:论语。论语是中国文明礼仪的代表作。作者孔子的思想贯穿其中,名扬海内外。

中午,我们在馆外随便吃了点东西便又进入馆内浏览馆内的文物。

在我的前夫、强烈要求之下,我们来到了“八年抗战专区”,专区门口;有一尊八路军铜像。他手握钢枪,用他那坚定地眼神注视前方。在铜像商贩有一行大字“打倒日本帝国主义,中国共产党万岁!”

在宽敞的展厅中,易复发栩栩如生的油画展现在我眼前。我观察过,从第一幅到最后一幅,刚好重头到尾的诠释了八年抗战的全过程。在油画的旁边,配有一篇篇动人的小故事。当我从最后一幅图的最后一个符号中回过神来的时候,我的眼睛已是泪眼朦胧。在我的心中,油然而生出了一个个高大的形象。是他们,为了祖国的解放事业;不向敌人屈服,用自己的胸膛挡住了敌人打来的枪林弹雨,用自己的血肉之躯维护了祖国的和平;如果没有他们的牺牲,就没有我们的今天。这不正应正了一句话吗:人生自古谁无死?留取丹心照汗青。

中华文明有着五千年的历史,在一天的阅览中,我感觉我并不是在欣赏文化;而是在感知文化;用心的感知,我们的文化。

对于佛山人,醒狮是儿时那点难忘的记忆,是辟邪的吉祥物,更是人们对美好生活的追求与寄托。锣鼓声一响,便知那狮子要随节奏舞动了。

那是一次偶然的机会,与香港学生一同前往龙狮训练基地观醒狮,内心的激动自是不言而喻,可面对香港学生的疑惑,身在醒狮发祥地的自己却感到无比愧怍。

谈笑声渐渐散去,厅堂内寂静无声,我的目光聚集在铁桩台的一侧,只见师傅手握狮嘴中的一个木柄,捋顺狮身上的毛,准备上场。

一个突然,站在铁桩台后的拿鼓锣敲的师傅举起手中乐器开始演奏,震耳欢快的锣鼓声,响彻厅堂,交织一片。两个举着狮子的师傅,摆正姿势,迈着轻快的步伐,出场的嘴巴上下张合,眼睛炯炯,似是要放出光来,踩着令人眼花缭乱的步伐,逐渐走向铁桩,这时狮纵身一跃,稳稳地停在铁桩台上,旋即一个狮立,傲视全场。我内心对醒狮师傅的敬仰油然而生,狮毛在灯光照耀下更显柔滑,顺整个狮身倾斜而下,太壮观了!掌声与锣鼓声夹杂在一起,如闻霹雳,又似洪水涌来,望着香港学生眼中的惊叹,我不禁为此而自豪。

转眼的恍神,狮已急转回头,继续在铁桩群里灵活地跃上、落下,鼓声忽然停息,我屏住呼吸,狮猛地向前扑去,四脚悬空,狮身急速往下坠,全场惊呼,这时却见狮用前脚紧紧夹住铁桩,后脚向上一蹬,落在铁桩台上,不见丝毫疏漏。这才松了一口气。

狮子从铁桩上下来,走到观众席前与我们互动,指尖抚过柔软的狮毛,心生崇敬。随着“砰、砰、砰”的鼓声,狮子退回表演台前,凝神、甩头、鞠躬,这便是完美的谢幕。顿时潮水般的掌声袭来。

在我拼命拍掌,意犹未尽时,忽听见师傅在一旁大声教导徒弟:“现在练习上桩,口号喊大声点。”我转过头去,只见一个个像我这么大甚至比我还小的少年举起了狮头,刚开始他们还缩着头,后见师傅一个一个口号地吼着,他们便一个接一个大胆的跃上了桩,场面壮观,拨动着我的心弦,这是醒狮的传承吧,一次次的跳跃与翻转,便是师傅授予徒弟的醒狮最精华的部分,无言,只是震撼。

后来,我明白醒狮带给佛山人的,是表演时的喜悦,是对未来平安的祝福与希望,更是代代宗师的坚守与少年的传承。

只愿醒狮精神永流传,如狮眼里迸发出的种种火光,坚毅纯粹。

为什么美国文化独特

American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically(特性)American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity(基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教)is predominate(主导)。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence:

Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences(住所) every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins, the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon, in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States, points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years, chicken wings have become a truly all-American food, showing up on dinner tables, at neighborhood bars, and in chain restaurants, pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce, the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping,"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings, which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East, shows how versatile, and yet how easy, it can be in cooking."

With this recipe, Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物,它在晚餐桌上,在邻居酒吧里,在连锁餐饮店里,在比萨店里,甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River(奔河)

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River, designated as a wild river by Title VI, Section 601(25) and 603(44) of ANILCA, preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition, and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion, inaccessible by road, its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska, and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon, was well as significant rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime, and the livinis easy. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses, Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles (RVs) to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why? For one thing, its cheaper than traveling abroad, and theres no language problem. But besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly"vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations."These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business, mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live, people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are: people on the move. In America, almost every-body is a tourist sometime.

夏天到了,生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说,这是个旅游的季节,为什么?因为学校放假,因为天气很好,但最重要的是,休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史,美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆,他们一到达就沿着东岸定居,但却不满于长居那地,冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后,移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移,美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天,美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究,美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外,美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤,工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工,人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚,有些则在周末有个经济的小假期,并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店;绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游,以舒适的方式露营;有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游,为什么呢?其中一个原因是,国内旅游比国外旅游便宜,也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外,占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

很多美国假期非常特别,和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内,有愈来愈多「适合全家出游」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢「环保假期」,这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物,并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽,有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行,享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游,不管住在那里,人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样:成为爱迁移的人。在美国,几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。

美式食物:吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth,"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America?

Except for Thanksgiving turkey, its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original!

As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest, "the breadbasket of the nation,"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course, one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast, and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food, or maybe its natural food. In any case, the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯,入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话,我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗?那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言,美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人,你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西,但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?

除了感恩节火鸡以外,挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地,所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家,当人们移居美国,他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中,美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨,墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷,但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地!

和许多大国一样,美国有数个截然不同的地区,每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃,最后到太平洋西北岸,啜饮美食家的咖啡,作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物,从炸鸡到炒饭,应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然,最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西,美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治,花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴,但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯,有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物,他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的;有时是快餐,有时也不见得;它可能是垃圾食物,也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何,它们都是美式的。

在一个阴云密布的早晨,露珠站在小院的花草上,而教学楼的喧闹,打破了这宁静的早晨。今天是去社会实践活动的日子,我们将要去历史悠久的大足石刻。同学们都兴高采烈地在教室里等待老师,然后带领同学去坐大巴车。

有着八百年的名胜古迹——大足石刻是我梦寐以求的地方,那里有着许多的石像,有些雕刻着栩栩如生的石像。经过两个半小时的路程我们终于来到大足石刻。一下车,我就迫不及待地想去看看,但前面雾太大,什么都看不清。先换上了相似古代的衣服,花色斑斓,然后就来到门口前,那里的石桌上都摆着一些东西。

我们先在门口前合了影,再去拜孔子。我学者前面的讲解员,两手相叠,向孔子鞠躬,看见桌上的毛笔、纸和书卷,就用毛笔写“人”字。接着就诵读经典弟子规,最后由老师为我们点朱砂,一个个头上都有着拇指大的朱砂印,就进入了门口。

上午我们学习了如何泡茶,而下午则是我最喜欢的事情:参观石像及博物馆。

讲解员带领我们来到景点,那里的墙壁都雕刻着许多的佛像,每个佛像都不一样:有些石像小的像水桶;有些石像大的像树木;有些石像又高又廋;有些石像又胖又矮。我觉得这些石像的雕刻人一定很有智慧,把笨重的石头变成美丽的石像,栩栩如生,每个石像都有属于自己的故事。接着又来到一座寺庙,我很好奇,走进去一看:“哇——”这尊佛像与众不同,是千手观音!每只手臂和佛像都是用金帛雕刻而成的,而每只手上都有一个法器,雕刻的这个人肯定花费了不是精力和心血,每一步都小心翼翼,绝不会有一点马虎儿。我细细端详着,看见有些地方都装修过,可能是经过这么久的时间,连再好的材料都会溃烂,不堪入目。

最后来到了博物馆,参观了一些佛像及一些珍贵画,馆中的每一件物品都是无价之宝,那些残缺的佛像,更能体现出它的古老。

今天是我最开心的一天,八百年历史的大足石刻让我感受到这里的古文明历史悠久,也让我明白在外出玩耍的时候务必文明参观,不许诋毁文物,做一个文明人。

篇18:美国革命的历史意义英语作文

the ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of thomas jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life.

the american revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern england became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern europe at the end of the eighteenth century. it may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the atlantic ocean, but only in the north american colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation.

here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. they included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.

with the american nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.

影响生活方式:进口商品的增多,对外国产品的喜好(preference for imports);人们更加熟悉 他国的文化,而忘记自身的特点(sense of identity),社会的团结也有所损害(an erosion of social solidarity);服装、饮食、娱乐等等都被两化了 (westernized),比如说,西装现在是流行 的男性服装(the suit is the most popular outfit for men);

欠发达国家在技术革新中起到的作用甚微(play a small role in the technological revolution),所 以需要"出卖"自己国家的主权或者利益来获得国际的帮助(concede sovereignty and interests to other countries for aid);贫富差距加大(widening gap between the richest and poorest parts of the world);

接受西方文化的人们成为一个国家新的统治阶级(new ruling class);人们摒弃传统的观念 (renounce traditionally-held beliefs),觉得传统观念是过时的和低人一等的(outdated and inferior);主流文化会取代老式的和各种各样的文化(A dominant culture takes over diverse cultures.),人们不再尊重传统文化(lose respect older cultures),而传统观念最终成为历史 {consigned to history)。

商业和文化的接触增多会加强一个国家的特征:

外来文化让人们意识到自己文化的特点,从而更加注意维持这种文化; 一种特殊文化会引起世界的关注,人们会更加注意保护。

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities, in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these countries, aiding theconservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a

taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.

As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.
