Module2TheRenaissanceSectionIIntroduction&Reading-Pre-readingModule2TheRenaissanceTheMonaLisa"Renaissance"意思是"再生"，在历史上它被用来指14世纪到16世纪欧洲在艺术、文学、音乐、思想风格上的一场大变革。每当我们谈到文艺复兴时，浮现在脑海中的第一个总是《蒙娜丽莎》。时隔几百年之后，她的风采是否依旧？Sheiswidelyseenasproofthatgoodlookscanlasforever.But,atnearly500yearsofage,timeiscatchingupwiththeMonaLisa.Thehealthofthefamouspicture,paintedbyLeonardoDaVinciin1505,isgettingworsebytheyear,accordingtotheLouvreMuseumwhereitishoused.“Thethin,woodenpanelonwhichtheMonaLisaispaintedinoilhaschangedshape”themuseumsaid.Visitorshavenoticedchangesbutrepairingtehworld'smostfamouspaintingisnoteasy.Expertsarenotsureaboutthematerialstheltalianartistusedandtheircurrentchemicalstate.Nearly6millionpeoplegotoseetheMonaLisaeveryyearmanyattractedbythemysteryofhersmile.“Itisveryinterestingthatwhenyou'renotlookingather,sheseemstobesmiling,andthenyoulookatherandshestops，”saidProfessorMargaretLivingstoneofHarvardUniversity.“It'sbecausedirectvision（视觉）isexcellentatpickingupdetail,butlesssuitedtolookingatshadows.DaVincipaintedthesmileinshadows.”In1911,thepaintingwasstolenfromtheLouvre.DuringWorldWarll,FrancehidthepaintinginsmalltownstokeepitoutofthehandsofGermanforces.Introduction&Reading—Prereading点点釋疑——把课文读懂［原文呈现］TheRenaissance①Formanypeople,theRenaissancemeans14thto16thcenturyItaly,andthedevelopmentsinartandarchitecture,musicandliteraturewhichtookplacethereatthattime②.Butthereisoneworkwhich,perhapsmorethananyother,expressesthespiritoftheRenaissance③：theMonaLisa.Itisbelievedtobethebestexampleof④anewlifelike⑤styleofpaintingthatamazed⑥peoplewhenitwasfirstusedPaintedbyLeonardodaVinciintheyears1503—1506⑧，theMonaLisaisamysterious⑨masterpiece⑩.PeoplewanttoknowwhoMonaLisais,andwhysheissmilingEvenifpeopledonotknowmuchabouttheRenaissance⑫，theyhaveheardofthispainting.［读文清障］renaissance/rI'neIsns/n.(文艺的)复兴which引导定语从句，修饰developments。which引导定语从句，修饰onework。Itisbelievedtobe...“它被认为是"，此处的it指代theMonaLisa。lifelikeadj.栩栩如生的，逼真的amazev.使大为惊奇，使惊愕that引导定语从句，修饰painting；该从句中含有一个when引导的时间状语从句。过去分词短语作状语。⑨mysteriousadj.神秘的⑩masterpiecen.杰作，名作，佳作，代表作(=masterwork)⑪and连接两个宾语从句。⑫Evenif引导让步状语从句。文艺复兴［第1段译文］对于很多人来说，文艺复兴指的是14〜16世纪时期的意大利，及其当时出现在艺术、建筑、音乐以及文学领域方面的发展。但有一件作品可能比其他的任何作品都更能表达文艺复兴的精神一一《蒙娜•丽莎》。它被认为是一种新的形象逼真型绘画风格的最好代表，这种绘画风格首次被使用就使人们惊叹不已。《蒙娜•丽莎》由莱奥纳多•达•芬奇于1503到1506年间绘制而成，是一件神秘的杰作。人们想知道蒙娜•丽莎是谁，她又为什么在笑。即便是对文艺复兴了解不多的人，他们也都听说过这幅作品。ButtheRenaissanceis,ofcourse,moretha⑬justMonaLisa.RenaissanceisaFrenchwordwhichmeans“rebirth"⑭anditfirstappearedinEnglishinthe19thcentury.Thewordwasusedto⑮describeaperiodinEuropeanhistorywhichbeganwiththearrivalofthefirstEuropeansinAmericaanageofexploration,andthebeginningofthemodernworld.ItwasasifEuropewaswakingup⑰afterthelongsleepoftheMiddleAge⑱.FromItaly,theideasoftheRenaissancerapidlyspread⑲northwards⑳toFrance,Germany,England,andtherestofEurope.Tradewithotherpartsoftheworldmeant21thatEuropewasgettingricher,too.Thismeantthatpeoplehadmoneytospendontheai22;；anditbecameeasierforartiststofindpeoplewhocouldaffordto23buytheirworksoremploythem24.LeonardoworkedforimportantpeoplesuchastheDukeofMilan,and,towards25theendofhislife,theKingofFrance.,⑬norethan不仅仅；很，非常，十分nomorethan不过，仅仅notmorethan至多，不超过⑭vhich引导定语从句，修饰先行词aFrenchword。⑮beusedtodosth.被用来做某事beusedtodoingsth.习惯于做某事@which引导定语从句，修饰aperiodo⑰vakeup醒来，觉醒，唤醒，弄醒⑱asif引导表语从句。⑲spreadv.伸展，蔓延，扩散⑳iorthwardsadv.向北southwardsadv.向南eastwardsadv.向东westwardsadv.向西21meanv.意思是，意味着22动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰money。23affordtodo承担得起去做；抽得出时间去做24it为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语；who引导定语从句，修饰peopleo25towardsprep.接近，靠近［第2〜3段译文］,但是，文艺复兴当然不仅仅只是《蒙娜•丽莎》。“Renaissance”是一个法语单词，意为“再生”，于19世纪首次出现在英语中。这个词被用来描绘随着首批欧洲人抵达美洲而开始的那段欧洲历史，这是一段探险的历史，也是现代世界史的开端。仿佛欧洲在经历了中世纪的长眠之后，就要苏醒过来了。从意大利开始，文艺复兴的观念很快向北传遍了法国、德国、英国以及欧洲其他地方。与世界其他地方的贸易意味着欧洲也正在变得更加富裕。也就是意味着人们有钱来花费在艺术上，对于艺术家来说想要找到人来购买他们的作品或者雇佣他们也就变得更加容易。莱奥纳多为一些重要的人物工作过，比如米兰的公爵，接近晚年时他曾经为法国国王工作过。RenaissanceartistsfoundnewideasfortheirworkinclassicalGreeceandRome.Buttheylookedforward27,too,byopeningnewfrontiers^Binthearts.Paintersdiscoveredhowtouseperspective29andtheeffectsoflight;composersputdifferentvoicestogetherandcreatedpolyphony30(“manyvoices”);architectspreferred31designingbuildingswithmorelightwhichcontrasted32withtheheavinessoftheGothiccathedrals33oftheMiddleAges.Thesenseofexplorationwhichmotivated34theartists35wenthandinhand36withanewtypeofphilosophy.Aftercenturiesofacceptingamedievalworldview37inwhichhumanlifewasconsideredoflittlevalue38comparedwiththegreatnessofGod39,philosophersbeganaskingquestionslike“Whatisaperson?"or“WhyamIhere？”Forthefirsttime,theyputpeople,notreligion,atthecentreoftheuniverse.㉛classicaladj.古典的，古典艺术的classic古典的，传统的；典型的，经典的B7lookforward展望未来lookforwardto期待，盼望（to为介词）Bfrontier/|frAn'tls/n.新领域Bperspective/ps'spektlv/n.透视（画）法；透视效果；透视感通polyphony/ps'llfsni/n.复调音乐（作品）Bpreferv.宁愿（选择），更喜欢（后可接动名词或不定式）Bcontrastv.&n.比较，对照contrast（sth.）withsth.与对比B3cathedral/ks'0i：drsl/n.大教堂B4motivate/'msutl|veIt/v.激发，激励B5which引导定语从句，修饰thesenseofexploration。违handinhand手拉手，密切关联B7inwhich引导定语从句，修饰view。Bofvalue=valuable适过去分词短语作状语。［第4〜5段译文］文艺复兴的艺术家从古希腊以及古罗马文献中为他们的作品寻找新点子。而他们也通过开辟新的艺术领域来展望未来。画家们发现了怎样利用透视和光的作用；作曲家们将不同的声音合到一起创造了复调音乐；相比较于中世纪哥特式教堂的沉重来说，建筑师们则更喜欢设计更加光亮的建筑。这种激励艺术家的探索意识与一种新的哲学携手共进。几个世纪以来，哲学家们都持有中世纪的世界观，认为与上帝的伟大相比人的生命很渺小。现在他们开始提出诸如“人为何物？”以及“我为何存在？”这样的问题。有史以来第一次，他们将人而不是宗教放在了宇宙的中心。TheRenaissancewasatimeofscientificinvention,too.Leonardo,aswellas40beingoneofthegreatestpainterstheworldhaseverknownd,wasalsoaskilled42inventor.Whereverhewent£3,hecarriedanotebookaroundwithhim,inwhichhewrotedownhisideas®.Theyincludeddetaileddrawingsofthehumanbody,plansforengineerstobuildcanalsandbridges,andastonishingdrawingsofmachineswhichwerenottobebuilt®until®hundredsofyearslater,suchasaeroplanes,parachutes®47,submarines®48andtanks®49.TowardstheendofhislifehewasemployedbytheKingofFrancetodoscientificresearch,andhedidnothavealotoftimeforpainting.Inshort®,Leonardowasanextraordinary®genius,anexampleofwhathasbeendescribedas®“Renaissanceman"®：someoneinterestedineverythingandwithmanydifferenttalents®.ButevenifhisonlycontributiontohistoryhadbeentheMonaLisa®,itwouldhavebeengeniusenoughforalltime.®aswellas(=inadditionto)以及®此处为省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰thegreatestpainters。®skilled/sklld/adj.有技巧的，熟练的beskilledat/in在方面有技巧®wherever引导让步状语从句，相当于nomatterwhere。®inwhich引导定语从句，修饰notebook。®which引导定语从句，修饰machines。4®6not...until...直到……才……®parachute/'p氏roijG：t/n.降落伞®submarine/'sAbmori：n/n.潜艇®tank/t^qk/n.坦克®inshort总之，简言之®extraordinaryadj.非凡的，出色的，异乎寻常的，令人惊奇的5®2describe...as...把……描绘成……®what引导宾语从句，在从句中作主语。54过去分词短语和介词短语都作someone的定语。55evenif“即使”，引导让步状语从句。［第6〜7段译文］文艺复兴也是一个科学发明层出不穷的时代。作为举世公认的最伟大的画家之一，莱奥纳多同时也是一个熟练的发明家。不管走到哪里他都随身携带一个笔记本，以便随时记录下自己的想法。这些包括人体的细致素描、供工程师建造运河以及桥梁的设计以及一些令人震惊的成百上千年后才被造出来的机器制图，如飞机、降落伞、潜水艇以及坦克。在生命晚年，他受法国国王委托去做一些科学研究，所以很少有时间从事绘画创作。简言之，莱奥纳多是一个非凡的天才，一个被描绘成“文艺复兴人物”的典范：一个对凡事皆有兴趣并有诸多才能的人。但即使他对历史的贡献仅仅是一幅《蒙娜•丽莎》，这也已经足够成为恒久的天才作品。出题精做——把课文读通Step1PrereadingPleasematchthewordswiththeirpropermeanings.1．subjectA．breakingthecalmofsth./sb.;causingworry2．dullB．notbrightorclear;lackinginterest3．disturbingC．darknessorcoolnesscausedbysth.;blockingdirectlightorheat4．basicallyD．tobeinthereasonfor;tomakesb.wanttodosth.5．shadeE．havingenoughability;skillful6．effectF．aphenomenonthatfollowsandiscausedbysomepreviousphenomenon7．motivateG．abranchofknowledge8．skilledH．atbottomorbyone's(orits)verynature1〜56〜8答案：1〜5GBAHC6〜8FDEELeadinDoyoulikepainting?Canyounamesomefamouspaintersathomeandabroad?Lookatthefollowingpicturesandfindoutwhopaintthem.
