作者简介
达夫妮·杜穆里埃(Daphne du Maurier 1907—1990)英国女作家,生前曾是英国皇家文学会会员,写过17部长篇小说以及几十种其他体裁的文学作品,1969年被授予大英帝国贵妇勋章。她厌恶城市生活,长期住在英国西南部大西洋沿岸的康沃尔郡,她的不少作品即以此都的社会习俗与风土人情为主题或背景,故有“康沃尔小说”之称。
达夫妮·杜穆里埃受19世纪以神秘、恐怖等为主要特点的哥特派小说影响较深,同时亦曾研究并刻仿勃朗特姐妹的小说创作手法,因此,“康沃尔小说”大多情节比较曲折,人物(特别是女主人公)刻画比较细腻,在渲染神秘气氛的同时,夹杂着带有宿命论色彩的感伤主义。
内容简介
《蝴蝶梦》讲述了一对真诚相爱的夫妻如何克服重重阻碍,经受了考验,并且最终明白婚姻的真谛——平等、真诚和勇于献身的故事。在法国的南部,年轻姑娘“我”偶遇英国贵族“老乡”迈克西姆。俩人一见钟情,闪电结婚,然后一起回到迈克西姆的家——庞大而美丽、闻名于世的曼陀丽:这里虽然陈设豪华、仆人成群,但出身贫寒的“我”却很不习惯突然荣升为贵妇人的生活方式;而且前德温特夫人吕蓓卡陪嫁带来的女管家丹弗斯看不起“我”,经常对“我”投以冷眼;甚至连这里的西厢房——丽蓓卡的卧室还保持着她在世时的模样。所有这些使得新任温特夫人——年轻的“我”很痛苦。同时在与丈夫的相处中,“我”发现丈夫有时心情很不好,常常发脾气,让“我”不禁怀疑他在怀念前妻。为使丈夫快活,“我”提议要开一次化装舞会,让人们感觉到曼陀丽和往常一样,为给丈夫惊喜“我“轻易中了丹佛斯的圈套,设计了一套与吕蓓卡死前举办舞会时一模一样的装束。当“我”出现在丈夫面前时,却受到了严厉的呵斥。丹弗斯在旁冷嘲热讽—“我”根本设法和丽蓓卡相比,迈克西姆现在依然怀念丽蓓卡——并威逼“我”离开曼陀丽,甚至还诱导“我”跳楼自杀。
当丽蓓卡的尸体被发现时,迈克西姆向“我”坦白真相:“你以为我爱丽蓓卡?你这样想吗?丽蓓卡是个淫荡的女人,迈克西姆为了家族的荣誉,又不能和她离婚。后来,丽蓓卡更放肆了,甚至带着表哥费弗尔经常在海边小屋幽会。迈克西姆去小屋斥责丽蓓卡,却被丽蓓卡威胁说她怀孕了并且这个孩子将会以迈克西姆的儿子的名义被生下、抚养成人。迈克西姆一怒之下一枪击中丽蓓卡的心脏,将丽蓓卡的尸体连同她小船沉入海底,以掩盖事实。丽蓓卡的尸体打捞上岸以后,警察局局长朱利安上校经行调查,费弗尔指控迈克西姆谋杀了丽蓓卡。他杀还是误杀,莫衷一是。最后,经医生的证实,丽蓓卡因患癌症厌世自杀。费弗斯把真相告诉了丹弗斯,这个有嫉妒心的女人纵火烧毁了曼陀丽这座大厦,不让迈克西姆和夫人再过愉快的生活。从此,曼陀丽成了废墟,女主人公只能在梦中回忆这段奇妙的日子。
成就影响

学英语作文 篇1
一上英语课,老师总是滔滔不绝地宣扬:全球有三分之一的人在讲英语,十几个国家以英语为母语,全世界75%的电视节目是英语……。好吸引人哦!我要学英语。
可是理想很丰满,现实太骨感。我学英语怎么就像在翻越一个巨大的坎,只有对眼前一窍不通的蝌蚪字干瞪眼!
跟我一起发愁的爸爸突然惊叫:“咦!怎么把这个大罗忘了。走,带你去拜访老外。”在我们家楼上住着一个叫大罗的英国人。平时最不喜欢与人交流的我,今天为了学习,无可奈何地被爸爸强拖上门求学了。
幽默教学
“吱!”的一声,门应声而开,一张光滑白净的脸庞映入眼帘,“Hello!”他热情地与我打着招呼。“Hello!”我鹦鹉学舌也稀里糊涂地和他打招呼。
“你有什么事?小朋友。”呀,我大吃一惊,没想到大罗会说中文。
“我可以跟你学英文吗?”我小心翼翼地问。
“OK!”
大罗教书真幽默,比如“P”,他说这和“屁”的读音一样;“I”和“爱”的读音一模一样的。我听得乐得哈哈大笑。在笑声中,我轻而易举地掌握了26个字母。
谐音单词
开始学单词了,单词是把26个字母打乱的词组,我又开始皱眉毛了。大罗说:“不要怕,单词也是有中文谐音的。”
“Icecream(冰淇淋)——爱死我,可冷——冰淇淋虽然冷,可是我的最爱。”
“umbrella(雨伞)——俺不来了——下雨了,俺不来了。”
我认为这样学习单词又好玩又好记,可是有些英语老师却提出反对意见,说这样记忆英语会带来什么什么的不良后果。这种话也传进大罗的耳朵,他心事重重,怀疑教给我的英语单词,一会儿会不会上个厕所就冲进马桶里呢?结果多次测试我都考100分!
同窗师生
我发现一个秘密:大罗在教我英语时,也在向我学中文!难怪电视里常听到“洋鬼子”一说,这个外国人真是鬼,不吃亏。不过他的学习态度不得不令我敬佩,不懂就问,一丝不苟的,进步飞快,我被感动了。
终于有一天,我向大罗发誓:我要把英语学好,将来与他齐肩。大罗听后高兴得像个孩子。
他说:学英语虽然要迈一个巨大的坑,可是我们在学习中做到勤学好问,精益求精,寻找窍门。一定会成功的。
这个老外不简单!他用实际行动告诉了我,没有加倍的的学习,或者是死板的学习,就没有才能,也没有天才。

学英语作文 篇3
it was a sunny balmy afternoon at the end of a leisurely summer. i was driving on a winding country road with a lady friend. little did i know that i was to have a close call that would have almost ruined the rest of my life.
earlier that day, a friend called me to tell me that our mutual friend rosy was arriving back from taiwan after the summer holidays. since there was no airport in the immediate vicinity of the university, she would need a ride to come back on campus.
being mildly interested in that girl, i jumped at the chance to play hero. the trip was not particular long or arduous. i was to pick her up from a friend’s home that was a mere 80 miles from campus—a piece of cake, i said to myself.
everything went well. the country road was almost deserted. visibility was good and i was not driving very fast. the conversation was lively but not distracting.
about half an hour into the drive, i rounded a corner and noticed two small children, aged around 10, waiting to cross the road after getting off their school bus. my mind was not particularly focused on them because i thought they would not cross the road when a truck was coming through on their side. the two kids looked to their left, watching the truck intensely. as soon as the truck passed, and without a thought, they started to dash across the road. i was petrified, to say the least. my heart almost leaped out of my throat. time seemed to have come to a standstill. it was like a nightmare coming into reality. i felt i was in the slow motion crash scene of a movie. i did not even have the time to brake or steer clear.
by providence smiled on me that day. the two kids missed my car by less than an inch. imagine what would have happened if i had hit them? they would have been killed instantly. i would have been charged with manslaughter and thrown into jail. my career would be over before it even got started. the kind of inhumane treatment i would receive from fellow inmate, i could only guess but hate to imagine. i will never be a whole person again even if i were to be released early for good behavior. my life would be over. even if i had a good lawyer that could have gotten me off, i would have carried that guilt in my mind for the rest of my life.
even today, thirty-si years later, the memory of that day is still fresh on my mind. i have my lucky star to thank for having both parties gotten off unscathed.

在小学阶段,教英语作文是一件很令人头疼的事。学生们单词量少,语法知识贫乏,硬让学生强写,是错误百出,甚至还有很多的中式英语,闹出不少笑话。我分以下四个步骤来教作文,目前感觉效果不错。
第一、仿写句子。就是将句子中的关键词用其它同类的单词来代替。
第二、翻译句子。将中文句子翻译成相对应的英文句子。这是用来锻炼学生的表达能力的。
第三、仿写课文。这里的课文包括简单的对话、段落和短文。这实际也是仿写句子的一种延伸。也是替换课文中的关键词,让它再另外自成一篇。我现在教的一些中等水平的学生都基本能很好地仿写课文,有时还能有让人惊喜的创新。
最后,让能力较好的学生试着写命题作文。
在教英语作文时,切忌急于求成,要由简到难,循序渐进,一步一步地走。如果,一上手就让学生写命题作文,他们就会望而生畏,却步不前,不知道从哪里下手。

Nowadays, people like to go to the cinema to watch movies. They think.the big screen and the incredible sound is a treat. Somehow, I think go to the theater to watch films has a lot of disadvantages. Sometimes, these shortcomings even overwhelm the pleasure of watching movies.
First, when you on your way to the cinema, you may stick in traffic jam and cannot arrive on time. If you make it, you may have problem of finding a parking spot. As you know, not every cinema has enough places for you to park. The time you have wasted on the road can do different kinds of things. If you choose to stay at home to watch movies, you don’t need to worry about these problems. You’re not only saving your precious time but also parking fees and gas.Second, you may have to stand in line for hours just to buy yourself a ticket. It is annoying. If the tickets have sold out, you will wait another day. Sometimes you succeed in buying a ticket, but it was not the best seat. You might seat just in front of the screen or in the last row. When you’re watching the movie uncomfortably, you will be regret that you have made the wrong choice. Maybe you should seat in your own sofa to watch.Last, the atmosphere of the theater is not always as good as you think. People around you allow eating anything they want, which means they will make a lot of noise while they’re chewing. What’s worse, you may seat next to the person who talks on the phone while you try really hard to listen to what the actress says, or a young couple who seat behind you happily discuss about how the movie will end. This is annoying, isn’t it?Due to these reasons, I think people should reconsider whether it worth to go outside to watch a movie, while we have the condition to watch at home. The problems and the hazards can be avoided if we choose to stay at home. Thus, it’s more convenient and comfortable to stay at home to watch movies.

The impolite behavior in the cinema happens all the time. When watching the movie, I really hate people talk, or the kids share opinions with adults. They are disturbing the audience. Some people don’t talk, but they play smart phone, showing a light in the dark, it is very uncomfortable. Everybody goes to the movie to take relax, the one who doesn’t control their behavior will disturb others.
电影院里不礼貌的行为时常发生。看电影的时候,我真的很讨厌其他人在说话,或者是小孩子跟大人分享观点,他们是在打扰其他观众。有些人虽然不说话,但是他们在玩手机,在黑暗中出现光点,也很不舒服。大家去看电影都是想放松一下,没有自律的人会干扰到他人。
It is everybody’s duty to self-behave. Parents need to educate their children, or set the good example to them. Foreigners always complain about the rude behavior on Chinese people. We have to admit our rude act, only in this way can we get improved.

I went to a movie last night, and it was an unpleasant experience. A lot of people had arrived before me, so I couldn't even get a ticket. Fortunately, when the movie was about to begin, I met a friend who happened to have two tickets. A friend of hers was supposed to see the movie with her; but as her friend did not show up, she let me have one of the tickets. When we entered the theater, the movie had already begun for a few minutes. And as bad luck would have it, no sooner had we settled into our chairs than the movie stopped. The audience shouted and booed, but there was still no movie. I was very angry and my friend was upset too. We were in no mood to wait, so we left. After saying goodbye to my friend, I took a bus home. What a terrible Saturday night!
