授课提示：对应学生用书第33页 导语：人们的生活离不开文学，从广告词到小商品的标签、话剧的台词、电影、流行歌曲等都含有文学的内容。中国的汉字是博大精深的，它附带着中国几千年的历史，认真地去探求文字的奥秘，这是中国人应该去做的。中国古代的文学是很灿烂的，诗词歌赋流传到今天。那什么才是真正的古典文学呢？让我们看看这一篇文章。 What is classic literature? Classics are the antiques of the literary world. They are novels, plays and poems that were written a long time ago and were so well written that people still read them nowadays. They are examples of great writing and wisdom, and even those written centuries ago can still be found in bookshops and libraries today. Because a lot of classics were written so long ago, their language characteristics are quite different from those of modern works. This makes them difficult for some people to read, so they are often left to gather dust on shelves. Many people do not read them, because they think classics are old and boring and have nothing to do with life today. However, if this is true, why do we still find these classics in bookshops and libraries? They have not disappeared and still have a place in the world. Why else would many films adapted from them be successful? In 1995, an award­winning film based on Jane Austen's novel Emma came out. Three years later, in 1998, a modern adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel Great Expectations appeared in cinemas. Nobody would bother to make these classic novels into films if they had nothing to do with contemporary life. 【词海拾贝】 1．antique n．古董，文物 2．literary adj.文学的 3．classic n．名著，经典作品 adj.典型的，经典的 4．characteristic n．特征，特点adj.典型的，独特的，特有的 5．award­winning adj.获奖的 6．adaptation n．改编本(也作adaption) 7．contemporary adj.当代的 【译文助读】 什么是经典文学？经典文学作品是文学世界里的古董。它们是很久以前创作的小说、戏剧和诗歌。这些作品写得如此之好以至于今天人们仍然在阅读它们。经典文学是杰出的创作及智慧的典范，即使是几世纪前写的那些作品，现在依然可以在书店和图书馆里找到。 因为许多经典文学作品创作如此久远，它们的语言特色与现代文学作品的语言特色有相当大的区别。这使得一些人阅读起来有困难，因此经典文学作品常常被遗忘在书架上，落满灰尘。许多人不读经典文学作品是因为觉得它们太古老，枯燥乏味，与今天的生活没有任何联系。 但是，如果这种观点是正确的，为什么我们今天仍然可以在书店和图书馆里找到这些经典文学作品呢？它们并没有消失，在当今世界仍占有一席之地。还有，为什么许多根据经典文学作品改编的电影可以大获成功呢？1995年，一部根据简·奥斯丁的小说《爱玛》改编的获奖影片问世。3年后的1998年，一部根据查尔斯·狄更斯的小说《远大前程》改编的现代版影片在影院上映。如果这些经典小说与当代生活没有任何关系的
