牛津译林版高中英语选择性必修一课件Unit2TheuniversallanguageReading19Understandingculturethroughmusic制作者：桂东一中李宇平◆

内容分析

【What】本板块的话题是“通过音乐理解文化”。语篇是两封交换生写的电子邮件。第一封是外国学生介绍中国的小提琴协奏曲《梁祝》，重点描述了《梁祝》音乐和故事情节之间相得益彰的匹配关系；第二封是中国学生介绍美国的乡村音乐，作者在文中提及了乡村音乐的主要风格，以及杰出音乐人约翰 · 丹佛和他的著名歌曲《乡村路带我回家》。

【Why】本板块的语篇以交换生的视角分别介绍中国的《梁祝》和美国的乡村音乐，旨在帮助我们意识到音乐是全球性的语言，通过音乐可以了解不同文化，借助音乐可以促进跨文化交际。

【How】本板块语篇的类型是电子邮件，两封邮件共同的写作特点如下：邮件主体部分主旨清晰、结构分明；由于是非正式文体，文中使用了很多口语化的表达方式，例如“Sogladtogetyouremail.”“Ibetyou’lllikeit!”“Whydon’tyoutrytolistentosomegreatcountrymusic?”等。两封邮件也有一些各自的写作特点：第一封邮件在描述音乐、故事情节、音乐营造的氛围时，细致入微，使用了拟人等修辞手法，生动、形象地描绘了该乐曲的艺术魅力；第二封邮件在介绍美国乡村音乐时选用了一段经典歌词作为例子，来说明乡村音乐的特点，给读者以直观的感受。◆

最后，在最激昂的部分，乐曲转而柔缓，以凄美的曲调收尾，它告诉我们，这对情侣化蝶而去，永世不再分离。真是一段美妙的旅程！bittersweet/ˈbɪtəˌswiːt/(经历)苦乐参半的;(味道)又苦又甜的
