e.g.I)She can't spend her whole life shut up in her office.II)I've had a terrible cold and have been shut up in my room for a week(2)Video watching(3)Voice guide(4)Speaking: 1.You are going to watch a video in which you'll see two different ways of dating: an American way and a Chinese way.So what are the differences? 2.Now you know a little about dating.Please talk about your own dating experience if you have any.For those who dated little or didn't date at all before, please give your reasons for it.For the substance towards love and marriage is the reflection to the deep culture for a nation.” Meanwhile, the difference of culture background also reflects and restricts a nation’s way of love and marriage custom, which is the key factor for the leading characters to take any actions towards love and marriage.The difference between the West and East is not only because of feudal tradition, but also mostly because of the restriction and influences of culture background.Of different nation culture, which gives an important influence to love tragedy of literature, hero and heroine take firm, driving, fierce actions to seek for their love and marriage in the Western literature.On the contrary, love story in china, the leading characters always adopt passive, pitiable actions, even holding the attitude of “mercifulness” and “yielding” to relax conflicts, and finally push themselves into the abyss.Romeo and Juliet is the most famous love story in English literary tradition.Love is naturally the play’s dominant and most important theme.The play focuses on romantic love.In this tragic story, love is a violent, ecstatic, overpowering force that supersedes all other values, loyalties, and emotions.In the course of the play, the young lovers are driven to defy their entire social world, families, friends and ruler.Love in Romeo and Juliet is a brutal, powerful emotion that captures individuals and catapults them against world, and, at times, against themselves.The leading characters take any actions in order to protect their love, even telling lies to parents, suspended animation and other tricks.Once Juliet is woken up by love, she advances bravely, who not only marries Romeo secretly, but also stealthily spends her newly-married night.Comparing to the West, the tragic characters in China are less determined than western’s, and their resistances are powerless and compromising also.The tragic figures always condescend their love, allowing evil force to extend and create, and finally are engulfed.LiangShanbo and ZhuYintai, a famous drama in China, whose plot is very similar to Romeo and Juliet, the protagonists find each other congenial, however, they knuckle under the family’s opposition and pressure, who prefer to be withered for love than decide to fight death openly.The Dream of Red Chamber is regarded as “tragedy in the tragedy”.②The protagonists, Baoyu and Daiyu, who have strong consciousness of seeking for love, they don’t care about common customs and interests, being of kindred spirits.Facing the powerful feudal Force, however, their imperfect personalities of resistance seem to be so powerless, finally their love is devoured.The love tragedy in the West and East always ends with dying for love or destroying of love, but the tragic factors are different, among them, personality is an important factor cannot be ignored.Making a general survey of love tragedy in the West and East, it is easy to find that the tragic protagonist’s attitude towards love is different.This completely different attitude stems from different culture background also.The West is a society with “take individual as standard”.This culture psychology and life consciousness get further development dependence and freedom.The love style of Romeo and Juliet is such fanatic love.China has been a society that “take colony as standard” all the time since ancient times.People’s life of ago-farming taking family as unit generation gives important influence to form people’s psychology of caring for and depending on each other and realizing one’s own value from entirety existence.This kind of psychology , that is, “pay attention to the whole, advocate ethical”.This attitude has essential distinction with the West.(the arranged marriage包办婚姻as evil consequence,which was produced from traditional culture/ the Parent's order and matchmaker's words had been in the leading Position父母之命 ,媒妁之言/ free marriage existed partly)
The love tragedies in the West and East always have resembled endings, but there are essence distinctions with personality, action, marriage value and value orientation the tragic personage takes, which closely links with culture.Only investigate the culture background conscientiously, can we know love tragedy more deeply and penetratingly.Part Two Listening, Understanding and Speaking Listen to the recording carefully and then work in small groups to discuss the following questions.1.What kind of partner did men and women of the past generations want? 2.What kind of partner do men and women now search for? 3.What kind of person would be your ideal husband/wife? Describe him/her to your group.
