【研讨会】

推荐书籍：荷马《伊利亚特》、《说岳全传》、《薄伽梵谭》

今年我的讨论主要围绕荷马史诗《伊利亚特》和中国古典章回体小说《说岳全传》展开。这两部作品虽然来自不同年代和文化，但是都是口述文学的结晶，也都以战争为主题。生活在和平年代的我们有时可能会忘记战争其实是人类最普遍的经验之一。我们将一起探讨口述文学作家们如何在作品中描绘死亡、命运、勇气、荣誉、身份认同等等各种最根本的人性体验。

【工作坊：写作】

在这个信息时代，信息收发速度极快，因此我们每个人都在无形中成为了一名记者。我们发的朋友圈和微博真实得记录了身边的点点滴滴，喜怒哀乐。然而，我们每天收到的明星动态和朋友八卦并不完全是垃圾信息。以色列历史学家赫拉利提出：“语言成为了一种八卦工具。因为人类是一种社会性动物，社会合作使得我们生存和繁衍。对于人类，光知道危险和食物的位置还不够，更重要的是要知道我们自己部落谁更可靠，谁诚实，谁是骗子。”我希望通过这门课来和大家讨论八卦新闻在社会中的实际用处，并将帮助大家夯实英文阅读与写作基础。

  day41 A greek hero fight in a war to defend his city and its people. Also, he is obliged to do so out of the estate and privilage he owns . He must match to his fame. 2精忠报国是岳母对岳飞的家训，她怕岳飞不耐清贫加入反宋联盟破坏中原宋的统治，遗臭后世，以刺字这种毁伤身体的方式让岳飞铭记忠诚。 岳母的家教是君可以不义，臣不能不忠。这是一种在客观形势和个人得失前先考虑天下的无私价值观。

  1.Why does a greek hero fight in a war?

  1)the responsibility of being the leader, of possessing all the privileges.

  2) the honour, the admiration and respect of their people

  3) the possession of resources: to pursue the best living condition, food, location ect.

  4)the value of one’s live: since no one could be literally immortal, we should fight

  to extend one’s personal value.

  1 Trojan elders did not hate Helen for bringing war but they would rather prefer her leaving with Greece and bring peace back. 2 I think Paris is flexible and wit and find favor in god's eyes, but he btoke the oath with Greece for his desire for Helen and prolong the suffer of war for his people. Menelaus is brave and loyalty but maybe not that good as Paris as words so the gods and Helen chose the side of Paris, but he is a good warrior. 3人间祸福受到天界的影响，因为宋祖赵匡胤得罪玉皇大帝所以天降逆族，如来为保宋朝十八代气数降下忠臣 钱彩认为宋金交战的原因在开国就有根源，因果已定 。

  1.Trojan elders don't think the war is the woman's sake,they admair Helen.They do not blame her because she is fearfully a immortal goddesses,she is lovely,everyone falls in love her at the first sight and desires her,she shouldn't be blamed.

  2.From the duel I know that they all worship the spirit of the warrior，Paris moves quickly,but he is not as clever as Menelaus,he got the bless of Aphrodite.He is brave and honest,he sacrifice himselves for love,quite gentle to Helen.Menelaus is good at tactics,maybe he is not strong enough.He says his prayers and think of the future generation,he is not only a dueler but also a thinker.

  3.徽宗皇帝元旦郊天，不料将玉皇大帝中玉字一点压到大字上，玉帝看了大怒，觉得犬帝难以饶恕，于是派赤须龙下界降生于女真国中，为宋金战争埋下祸患，扰乱众生。

  【Day2】

  大家好 今天的Reading Assignment是 Iliad Book 3 lines 121-170(Helen on the wall of Troy); 245-end(Duel between Menelaus and Paris) 以及说岳全传的第一回 阅读期间大家可以思考的问题是

   1) What was the view of the old men of Troy on Helen? Do they blame her? Why? (line150-165) 2) What did the duel between Paris and Menelaus tell us about their character? 

  3) 在第一回中，钱彩对金国和宋朝之间的战争给出的理由是什么？
