第一篇:迪士尼经典人物英文介绍
白雪公主Snow White(in German Schneewittchen)is a fairy tale known from many countries in Europe, the best known version being the German one collected by the Brothers Grimm.The German version features elements such as the magic mirror and the seven dwarfs, who were first given individual names in the 1912 Broadway play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and then given different names in Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.The story of Snow White and the dwarfs should not be confused with the story of Snow White and Rose Red(in German Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot), another fairy tale that was also collected by the Brothers Grimm.Hua Mulan(花木兰)is a heroine who joined an all-male army, described in a Chinese poem known as the Ballad of Mulan(木兰辞).The poem was first written in the Musical Records of Old and New(古今乐录)from the 6th century, the century before the founding of the Tang Dynasty;the original work no longer exists, and the original text of this poem comes from another work known as the Music Bureau Collection(乐府诗), an anthology of lyrics, songs, and poems, compiled by Guo Maoqian(郭茂倩)during the 12th century.The author explicitly mentions the Musical Records of Old and New as his source for the poem.Whether she was a historical person or whether the poem was an allegory has been debated for centuries — it is unknown whether the story has any factual basis.Winnie-the-Pooh:For other pages about the Winnie-the-Pooh scenario, see Winnie-the-Pooh(disambiguation).Winnie-the-Pooh is a fictional bear created by A.A.Milne.The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh(1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner(1928).Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children’s verse book When We Were Very Young(1924)and many more in Now We Are Six(1927).All four volumes were illustrated by E.H.Shepard.米老鼠
Mickey Mouse is a cartoon character who has become an icon for the Walt Disney Company.Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.He was voiced by Walt Disney from 1928–1946 theatrically, and again from 1955–1959 for the original ABC TV The Mickey Mouse Club television series.The Walt Disney Company celebrates his birth as November 18, 1928, upon the release of Steamboat Willie, although Mickey had already appeared six months earlier in an unfinished test screening of Plane Crazy(Steamboat Willie being the first Mickey Mouse Cartoon to be released).The anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.Mickey is currently the main character in the Disney Channel's Disney Junior series “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse”.Mickey is the leader of The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, with help from Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and other friendly friends of his.In late 2009, The Walt Disney Company announced that they will begin to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by putting a little less emphasis on his pleasant, cheerful side and reintroducing the more mischievous and adventurous sides of his personality, starting with the newly released Epic Mickey.米妮
Minerva “Minnie” Mouse is an animated character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney.The comic strip story “The Gleam”(published January 19-May 2, 1942)by Merrill De Maris and Floyd Gottfredson first gave her full name as Minerva Mouse.Minnie has since been a recurring alias for her.Minnie is currently voiced by actress Russi Taylor.Both Minnie and Mickey were first drawn in 1928 by Ub Iwerks.The comic strip story “Mr.Slicker and the Egg Robbers”(published September 22 – December 26, 1930)introduced her father Marcus Mouse and her mother Margie Mouse, both farmers.The same story featured photographs of her grandparents Marshall Mouse and Matilda Mouse.Her best known relatives, however, remain her uncle Mortimer Mouse and her twin nieces, Millie and Melody Mouse, though most often a single niece, Melody, appears.In many appearances, Minnie is presented as the wife of Mickey Mouse, a close friend of Daisy Duck, Donald Duck's wife, and occasionally a friend to Clarabelle Cow.Minnie's sister, Mandie Mouse was a recurring character early on.唐老鸭
Donald Fauntleroy Duck is a cartoon character created by Walt Disney and Dick Lundy and licensed by The Walt Disney Company.Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet.He typically wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie.Donald's most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and explosive temper.Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald is one of the most popular Disney characters and was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002.It was in animated cartoons that Donald first appeared and rose to fame.His debut was the 1934 Silly Symphony The Wise Little Hen, but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit that Donald was introduced to the Mickey Mouse cartoons and given his temperamental personality.Throughout the 1930s, '40s and '50s he appeared in over 100 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards.Donald appeared several times as part of a comic trio with Mickey and Goofy, and later starred in his own series of films, sometimes with his girlfriend Daisy Duck or his three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.After the 1956 film Chips Ahoy Donald appeared primarily in educational films before eventually returning to theatrical animation in 1983 with Mickey's Christmas Carol.Donald has also appeared in television programs such as DuckTales(1987-1990), Quack Pack(1998-2004), and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse(2006-present).

Hwamei Villa In Gothic novels, the shaping of the characters is a commonly used vehicle for giving expression to the gothic ingredient.This is particularly true of Emily‘s Wuthering Heights.When we open this book, we can see various terrifying characters.The first character is the hero Heathcliff.He seems to be an inhuman monster.Being a son of the storm, his behavior is flooded with Gothic color: cruel, imperious, and he stoops to anything to get what he wants.What‘s more, the love between Catherine and him goes beyond the common limit and is quite abnormal compared with love in other works of her age.The entire action of the story takes place within the two houses-Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange and on the moors lie between.The principal character, Heathcliff, around whom all the action revolves, emerges as starkly as Wuthering Heights.He may be thought of as the personification of the house.There is an analogy between his appearance and his character and that of the Heights itself.When Mr.Lockwood, the tenant of Thrushcross Grange, pays his visit to Wuthering Heights, curious about the brooding quality and crumbing, menacing appearance of the Heights and the inscription over the door-the date ‗1500‘and the name ‗Hareton Earnshaw‘, Mr.Lockwood would like to ask his landlord about this, but Heathcliff proves to be unsociable, inhospitable, and brusque.―The ‗walk in‘ was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, ‗Go to the deuce‘: even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words;and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself.‖[18] This is the first appearance that Emily displayed to us.And the first impression of the hero Heathcliff adds the color of mystery and implies to the readers that the man is bound to have a long story.By the brief portrayal of the hero, she creates suspense for the whole story, which embodies the Gothic tradition.During Mr.Lockwood‘s staying at the Heights, he found a diary.The entry regarding the degrading life Heathcliff was forced to lead by Hindley throws some light on the character of Heathcliff as Mr.Lockwood now finds him.For the first time we sympathize with Heathcliff in his anguish, although we are still ignorant as to its cause.Heathcliff has been revealed as a man capable of great emotion, as well as cruelty.The scene still is in the Heights.Declaring that the room is haunted, Mr.Lockwood decides to spend the rest of the night elsewhere.As he is about to leave the room, the odd and horrible thing happens: ―I obeyed, so far as to quit the chamber;when ignorant where the narrow lobbies led, I stood still, and was witness, involuntarily, to a piece of superstition on the part of my landlord which belied, oddly, his apparent sense.He got on to the bed and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears.‗Come in!Come in!‘ he sobbed.‗Cathy, do come.Oh, do-once more!Oh!My heart‘s darling!Hear me this time, Catherine, at last!‘ The specter showed a specter‘s ordinary caprice: it gave no sign of being;but the snow and wind whirled wilding through, even reaching my station, and blowing out the light.‖[19] Heathcliff is alarmed when he hears that Catherine has appeared to Mr.Lockwood;obviously, he believes that her spirit haunts Wuthering Heights and is trying to come to him from beyond the grave.This element arouses the interest and curiosity of the reader and embodies Gothic color a step forward.3.1.1.2 Crazy revenge on his enemies With the birth of his son Hareton and the death of his wife Frances Hindley‘s final disintegration commerces.This is consistent with the moral weakness he has shown previously.He concentrates his venom on Heathcliff, whom he brutalizes and in whom he tries to stamp out the feeling of worthiness that old Mr.Earnshaw had engendered.Heathcliff, in turn, delights in seeing his enemy destroy himself.It is consistent with Heathcliff‘s nature that he encourages his enemies to destroy themselves by their won inner flaws.And readers anticipate conflicts and trouble in the future.From this point of view, he behaves quite cruel and revengeful.To fulfill his revenge on Hindley, he turns little Hareton into a brute with no love or respect for his father, and he has ended his education – just as Hindley did to him.When Heathcliff reappears after Catherine‘s marriage, thinking she might show him where his evil ways are leading him, Nelly pays a visit to the Heights.Seeing little Hareton outside the gates, she identifies herself and says she has called to see his father, Hindley.Hareton does not recognize her as his former nurse and greets her with a hail of stones and curses.Nelly asks him who taught him such things and he answers ―Devil daddy.‖[20] He says his father cannot abide him because he swears at him.He says the curate no longer comes to teach him and it is Heathcliff, whom he loves, who has taught him to swear.Furthermore, he is determined to brutalize Hareton as himself was brutalized.This is evidented by the incident of Hareton‘s hanging the puppies.So far, Heathcliff has succeeded in revenging Hindley‘s insult on the next generation.His cruelty is easy to feel.What’s more, his attitude towards Isabella is not only very cruel but also very imperious.Edgar is his enemy, too.Once he declares he will “crush his ribs in like a rotten-hazel-nut”.[21] Because of his hatred for Edgar, he takes advantage of Edgar’s sister, Isabella.When he finds Isabella has fallen in love with him, he encourages her to run off with him even though he does not love her at all.He does so only for the Linton property and the revenge on Edgar.But after her marriage to him, she receives no love or pity from him, but indifference and distain.The desperately unhappy Isabella sends a letter to Nelly saying “Is Mr.Heathc
Heathcliff:1.The main character,Orphaned as a child, he is constantly on the outside, constantly losing people.Although he and Catherine Earnshaw profess that they complete each other, her decision to marry Edgar Linton almost destroys their relationship.He spends most of his life contemplating and acting out revenge.He is abusive, brutal, and cruel.2.Most people thought that Heathcliff was devil or at least he should not do too many things wrongly.However, I thought him a victim.As an orphan Heathcliff did not know where he was from and who he was.When he was young, he was always abused and laughed at by Hindly.Only two people loved him, one was Mr.Earnshaw, who died when he was young, the other one was Cathy, who loved him but suffered from great pain.To him, Cathy was everything, after Mr.Earnshaw‘s death.Unfortunately, Cathy‘s childish choice made them unhappy all their life span.Heathcliff not only lost Cathy, but also lost everything.He can forgive the one who did harm to him, but cannot forgive the ones who did harm to Cathy.He loved Cathy so much that when Cathy left him, no one can bring him happiness.He became crazy, and lost himself in unbearable pain.To a desperate man, what he could do for her was to take revenge.What he did further was for Cathy.At last, he found little Cathy and Hareton were just like Cathy and him when they were young;he came to himself and realized that it was a bad ending.Though few happiness he had had all his life, he stopped bringing pain for the young, and left the broken-hearted world to be with Cathy, the woman who was the fountainhead of his suffering but was the only who could give him happiness.I see, although he had done too many wrong things, he was a kind man by nature.Wuthering Heights is a love novel.It has praised human‘s moral excellence, has attracted the will of the people‘s darkness, unfolding the human with the common custom life and pursueing the fine mind.3.To everyone but Catherine and Hareton, Heathcliff seems to be an inhuman monster — or even incarnate evil.From a literary perspective, he is more the embodiment of the Byronic hero(attributed to the writer George Gordon, Lord Byron), a man of stormy emotions who shuns humanity because he himself has been ostracized;a rebellious hero who functions as a law unto himself.Heathcliff is both despicable and pitiable.His one sole passion is Catherine, yet his commitment to his notion of a higher love does notReaders need to determine if his revenge is focused on his lost position at Wuthering Heights, his loss of Catherine to Edgar, or if it his assertion of dignity as a human being.The difficulty most readers have relating to and understanding Heathcliff is the fact that he hates as deeply as he loves;therefore, he is despised as much as he is pitied.Heathcliff's Obsession in Wuthering Heights
Throughout Wuthering Heights two distinct yet related obsessions drive Heathcliff's character: his desire for Catherine's love and his need for revenge.Catherine, the object of his obsession, becomes the essence of his life, yet, in a sense, he ends up murdering his love.Ironically, after her death, Heathcliff's obsession only intensifies.Heathcliff's love for Catherine enables him to endure Hindley's maltreatment after Mr.Earnshaw's death.But after overhearing Catherine admit that she could not marry him, Heathcliff leaves.Nothing is known of his life away from her, but he returns with money.Heathcliff makes an attempt to join the society to which Catherine is drawn.Upon his return, she favors him to Edgar but still he cannot have her.He is constantly present, lurking around Thrushcross Grange, visiting after hours, and longing to be buried in a connected grave with her so their bodies would disintegrate into one.Ironically, his obsession with revenge seemingly outweighs his obsession with his love, and that is why he does not fully forgive Catherine for marrying Edgar.After Catherine's death, he must continue his revenge — a revenge that starts as Heathcliff assumes control of Hindley's house and his son — and continues with Heathcliff taking everything that is Edgar's.Although Heathcliff constantly professes his love for Catherine, he has no problem attempting to ruin the life of her daughter.He views an ambiguous world as black and white: a world of haves and have-nots.And for too long, he has been the outsider.That is why he is determined to take everything away from those at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange who did not accept him.For Heathcliff, revenge is a more powerful emotion than love.Catherine Earnshaw The love of Heathcliff's life.Wild, impetuous, and arrogant as a child, she grows up getting everything she wants.When two men fall in love with her, she torments both of them.Ultimately, Catherine's selfishness ends up hurting everyone she loves, including herself.Often viewed as the epitome of the free spirit, Catherine is torn between two worlds.On one hand, she longs to be with Heathcliff, her soul mate: their life together, growing up and playing on the moors, represents the freedom and innocence of childhood.On the other, she recognizes what a marriage to Edgar can do for her socially, and she enjoys those things that Edgar can provide for her.Ultimately, she is self-absorbed and self-centered, and although she claims to love both Heathcliff and Edgar, she loves herself more, and this selfish love ends up hurting everyone who cares for her.Not until she nears death does Catherine turn exclusively towards Heathcliff, abandoning Edgar.Ironically, Heathcliff does not fully forgive her, and because of this, Edgar is the man who gives every appearance of loving Catherine unconditionally.Edgar Linton Catherine's husband and Heathcliff's rival.Well-mannered and well-to-do, he falls in love with and marries Catherine.His love for her enables him to overlook their incompatible natures.Edgar represents the typical Victorian hero, possessing qualities of constancy and tenderness;however, a non-emotional intellectual is not the type of person who can make Catherine happy in the long run.Edgar loves and understands Catherine more than anyone realizes, but love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship.He ends up losing everything — his wife, his sister, his daughter, and his home — to Heathcliff because good does not always overcome evil.He is a foil for Heathcliff.Edgar represents the typical Victorian hero, possessing qualities of constancy and tenderness;however, a non-emotional intellectual is not the type of person who can make Catherine happy in the long run.Edgar loves and understands Catherine more than anyone realizes, but love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship.He ends up losing everything — his wife, his sister, his daughter, and his home — to Heathcliff because good does not always overcome evil.He is a foil for Heathcliff.Cathy Linton
Daughter of Catherine and Edgar.A mild form of her mother, she serves as a reminder of her mother's strengths and weaknesses.(Note: For the purpose of clarity, the younger Catherine is referred to as “Cathy” in this Note, and her mother is referred to as “Catherine.” This convention is not used in the original text.)
Cathy's nature, a combination of both her parents, is key to revising the past.Her wildness and willfulness lead her to Wuthering Heights and the problems and pitfalls related therein.Her constant loyalty, good nature, and perseverance, however, eventually restore order and love to the farmhouse, thwarting Heathcliff's plans for revenge.Just as Catherine's presence dominates the first half of the text, Cathy's rules the second.Edgar tries to keep her from Wuthering Heights(and from Heathcliff), but her attraction to a man and her independent nature — characteristics that mirror her mother — once again make Edgar's appeals ineffective.Linton Heathcliff
Son of Heathcliff and Isabella.Weak and whiny(both physically and emotionally), he serves as a pawn in Heathcliff's game of revenge.He marries Cathy.Hareton Earnshaw
Catherine's nephew, son of Hindley.Although uneducated and unrefined, Hareton has a staunch sense of pride.He is attracted to Cathy but put off by her attitude.His generous heart enables the two of them to eventually fall in love and marry.Hareton is the only person to mourn Heathcliff's death.More of a son to Heathcliff than Linton, Hareton exhibits a sense of nobility by remaining loyal to the only father he ever really knew.Although he loses his inheritance, he does not bear a grudge toward Heathcliff.For most of the text, he serves as a reminder to Heathcliff of what his father, Hindley, had done.But toward the end of the novel, Hareton begins to remind Heathcliff of Catherine.Hareton even stands up to Heathcliff on Cathy's behalf.Because he has never experienced love himself, readers do not know for sure of Hareton's capacity for it;however, his pairing with Cathy at the end of Wuthering Heights seems to suggest what Heathcliff may have been like under different circumstances.Ellen(Nelly)Dean
The primary narrator and Catherine's servant.Although she is one person capable of relating the majority of the events that occurred, she is not without bias Nelly serves as both outsider and insider as she narrates the primary story of Wuthering Heights.Although she does not exhibit the extreme lengths of cruelty shown by Heathcliff and Catherine, Nelly often is an instigator who enjoys the conflict around her.Nelly can be seen as a combination of Heathcliff's cruelty and Catherine's self-centeredness.Lockwood Heathcliff's tenant at Thrushcross Grange and the impetus for Nelly's narration.Although he serves primarily as the catalyst for the story, Lockwood's role is an outsider who happens to gain inside information.His visit to Wuthering Heights and subsequent actions directly affect the plot.Mr.Earnshaw Catherine's father.He brings Heathcliff into his family and soon favors the orphan over his own son, Hindley.Mrs.Earnshaw Catherine's mother.Not much is known about her, except that she favors her own son to Heathcliff, whom she does not like.Hindley Earnshaw Catherine's brother.Jealous of Heathcliff, he takes a bit of revenge on Heathcliff after his father dies.He proves to be no match for Heathcliff, however, eventually losing his son and his family's home.Frances Earnshaw Hindley's wife.A sickly woman who dies soon after Hareton is born.Joseph Servant at Wuthering Heights.A hypocritical zealot who possesses a religious fanaticism that most find wearisome.Mr.and Mrs.Linton Edgar's parents.They welcome Catherine into her home, introducing her to the life in upper society.They die soon after nursing Catherine back to health.Isabella Edgar's sister.Her infatuation with Heathcliff causes her to destroy her relationship with her brother.She experiences Heathcliff's brutality first hand.She flees to London where she gives birth to Heathcliff's son, but her attempts to keep her son from his father fail.Zillah Heathcliff's housekeeper.She saves Lockwood from a pack of dogs and serves as Nelly's source of information at Wuthering Heights.Relationship :Love in the novel is manifested in many respects.Character Map

2.1 Earnshaw's love for Heathcliff
Forty years ago Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness.Mr.Earnshaw, a farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Catherine and Hindley.However, being a kind and generous fellow, he can‘t help rescuing a starving wretch off on the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child named Heathcliff.In time Heathcliff becomes one member of the family, loved by all except Hindley(who nurtures the feeling of being usurped).Thus it can be concluded that Earnshaw's love for Heathcliff stems from sympathy.2.2 Catherine' love for Heathcliff
As a child, her father was too ill to reprimand the free spirited child, ‗who was too mischievous and wayward for a favorite.(P46).Therefore, Catherine grew up among nature and lacked the sophistication of high society.Catherine removed herself from society and, “had ways with her such as I never saw a child take up before;she put all of us past our patience fifty times and oftener in a day;from the hour she came downstairs till the hour she went to bed, we had not a minute‘s security that she wouldn‘t be in mischief.Her spirits were always at high-water mark, her tongue always going--singing, laughing, and plaguing everyone who would not do the same.A wild, wicked slip she was--”(P51).Catherine further disregarded social standards and remained friends with Heathcliff despite his degradation by Hindley, her brother.‗Miss Cathy and he [Heathcliff] were now very thick;‘(P46)and she found her sole enjoyment in his companionship.Catherine grew up beside Heathcliff, ‗They both promised to grow up as rude as savages;the young master [Hindley] being entirely negligent how they behaved, ‘(P57).During her formative years Catherine‘s conduct did not reflect that of a young Lady, ‗but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day,(P57).Thus, Catherine‘s behavior developed and rejected the ideals of an oppressive, over-bearing society, which in turn created isolation from the institutionalized world.Therefore, Catherine's love for Heathcliff is pure, and Heathcliff's love for Catherine is tinged with danger and violence.2.3 Isabella's love for Heathcliff
The first time when Isabella sees Heathcliff, attracted by the charming man, she falls in love with him.No matter how Catherine persuades her, she makes her mind to get married with Heathcliff.Her love for Heathcliff is pure.While, Heathcliff just uses Catherine's sister-in-law Isabella Linton as a weapon, caring not for the poor lass.2.4 Catherine's love for Edgar
When Catherine and Heathcliff exist their private island unchecked until Catherine suffers an injury from the Linton's bulldog.Forced to remain at Thrushcross Grange----the Linton's home, which isolates Catherine from Heathcliff and her former world of reckless freedom.Living amongst the elegance of the Lintons transforms Catherine from a coarse youth into a delicate lady.Her transformation alienates Heathcliff, her soul mate and the love of her life.Catherine fits into society like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole.However, she feels pressure to file her rough edges and marry Edgar Linton.All in all, it is the social pressures and restrictive cultural confines that force Catherine to pretend to fall in love with Edgar.However, Edgar loves Catherine with gracious and transquility.Introduction of the story
The beginning of the story was Mr.Lockwood‘s visiting of Wuthering Heights.His amazement of Heathcliff's surliness and curiosity of beautiful Catherine's rudeness urged him to listen to a very strange and frightening love story from Nelly Dean.In the summer of 1771 Mr.Earnshaw brought home an orphan later called Heathcliff he had found in Liverpool.This waif was persecuted by young Hindley, but deeply loved by his daughter Catherine.So there was contradiction between Hindley and Heathcliff since childhood.After the death of their parents and his own marriage, Hindley treated Heathcliff as a servant, but this was relieved by the pleasant times with Cathy.On one of their expeditions they reached Thrushcross Grange where she stayed as the Linton‘s guest for several weeks.When she returned to the Wuthering Heights, she was altered a lot: she had been deeply attracted by the dress, luxury of the Lintons, especially the handsome and gentle Edgar Linton.Although she still loved Heathcliff she could not compare Heathcliff‘s snobbishness with the gentility of her new friends.Heathcliff was even more badly treated by Hindley after his wife‘s death, which increased Heathcliff‘s more anger.After overhearing part of Catherine‘s conversation with Nelly that she would marry Edgar, Heathcliff could not bear the indignation and degradation and left Wuthering Heights.Catherine‘s conversation with Nelly was that if Heathcliff could remain, even though all else perished, she should still continue to be.She and Heathcliff belonged to the same kind.But Heathcliff didn‘t hear it.So after Heathcliff‘s leaving, Catherine was desperately ill and recovered by the care of Linton couple.Three years later Catherine was married to Edgar.Six months later, Heathcliff, a different man, appeared.Catherine was so pleased at the news.But out of her surprise Heathcliff took on his two-fold revenge, first on Hindley who had treated him so badly in the past, secondly he threatened Catherine to marry Linton.Unfortunately Edgar‘s sister Isabella fell in love with Heathcliff and Heathcliff married her out of love, but for the property of Thrush cross Grange.At the same time Catherine locked herself in the room because Edgar refused Heathcliff.The she became delirious from illness and had brain fever.Eventually she recovered but remained delicate.Edgar worried too much about Catherine‘s health and emotion.Then Heathcliff and Catherine met again.There was a terrible scene between them.Both of them showed their anger and love to each other which worsened Catherine‘s health.Then two hours after her daughter — Cathy‘s birth Catherine died.When Heathcliff got the news he was desperately sad.After Catherine‘s death Isabella returned to Thrushcross Grange after three months with Heathcliff.Hindley died and Heathcliff took Wuthering Heights.Thirteen years later Isabella died, leaving her son Linton to Heathcliff, a weakling boy.Then Edgar Linton and young Linton died and so Heathcliff, Cathy and Hareton, an ill-assorted trio, were left at the Heights;while Thrush Grange was left to Lowood, to whom Nelly told the tale.The story ended with the death of Heathcliff and the marriage of Hareton and Cathy.This was two generations‘ love story.The first generation‘s love was transcendental and the second generation‘s love was earthy.经典语句:Are you possessed with a devil to talk in that manner to me when you are dying?Do you reflect(考虑到)that all those words will be branded on my memory,and eating deeper eternally after you have left me? You know you lie to say I have killed you:and ,Catherine,you know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!Is it not suffecient for your infernal selfishness , that while you are at peace I shall writhe(翻腾)in the torments of hell?凯瑟琳,你知道我只要活着就不会忘掉你!当你得到安息的时候,我却要在地狱的折磨里受煎熬,这还不够使你那狠毒的自私心得到满足吗?
2、You teach me now how cruel you've been-cruel and false.Why did you despise(瞧不起)me?Why did you betray(背叛)your own heart, Cathy?你现在才使我明白你曾经多么残酷——残酷又虚伪。你过去为什么瞧不起我呢?你为什么欺骗你自己的心呢,凯蒂?
3、“...That is not my Heathcliff.I shall love mine yet;and take him with me:he is in my soul.And ”,added she ,musingly(沉思地),“the thing that irks(使苦恼)me most is this shattered(破碎的)prison, after all.I'm tired,tired of being enclosed here.I'm wearying to escape into that glorious world ,and to be always there:not seeing it dimly through tears,and yearning for(向往)it through the walls of an aching heart;but really with it ,and in it....”
4、I know that ghosts have wandered on earth.Be with me always-take any form-drive me mad!Only do not leave me in this abyss(深渊), where I cannot find you!

Bob Dylan – Rocking while Thinking As the god-father of rock music, a cross-cultural icon for the time, Bob Dylan ushered in a new era on the folk-rock in 1960s.In addition, Dylan is anextraordinary poet, whether singing a folk song or exploring rock and roll, he can always demonstrated the rare ability to reach and affect listeners with thoughtful, subtle lyrics.He is not only an idol, but also a legend who gives the soul to rock.Bob Dylan, whose real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman, was born in1941, inDuluth, Minnesota.At an early age, Dylanhad a natural ability for writing poetry-according to his mother,he was “a prodigious writer of poetry throughout his youth”.The radio had the greateffect on young Dylan, too.His first idol was Hank Williams and he can mimic his voice livingly.However, when he heard he listened to the music of Little Richard, Buddy Holly, he changed his idea and decided to become a rock-n-roll star.In the early 1960s, Dylan visited his musical idol, Woody Guthrie, and was deeply influenced by Guthrie – his early works are mostly folk songs.During this period, Martin Luther King delivered his famous speech, I have a dream.Dylan, who was only 22 at that time, published one of the most classic ballads Blowing in the Wind in his 1963 album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.“How many roads must a man walk down, before they call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand? How many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free?” With Dylan’s raw and husky voice, the song is pervaded by intense anti-war feeling, and it poses a series of philosophical questions about peace, war and freedom.He alsoimplies in the song what he believesis man's greatest inhumanity to man: indifference."Some of the biggest criminals are those that turn their heads away when they see wrong”, he declared in his album’s liner notes.Dylan produced many anti-war songs, except the one mentioned, there are also A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall, The Times They Are a-Changin' and so on.He brought his thoughts upon social problems into these epic songs, as he said, “I like America, just as everybody else does.But America will be judged”.All these songs together cemented Dylan’s reputation as both a folk musician and a civil libertarian, an anti-war fighter.Later on, the success of the Beatles and Rolling Stone made America the haven of rock and roll, folk music was influenced inevitably.In 1965, his album Bringing It All Back Home is a leap, featuring his first recordings with electric instruments.Before Dylan’s talent was fully reviewed, Elvis Presley, who is known as “the Hillbilly Cat”, has given the reasons forrock music’s existence and the Beatles established its important position in music industry.However, Dylan changed rock music by enhancing its inner value, he is the man who proved that “rock and roll can be said”.Dylan’s classic rock songs such asLike A Rolling Stone,Subterranean Homesick Blues, Rainy Day Women and Positively Fourth Street invented a new expressing way of rock.Take Like A Rolling Stone, for example.The lyrics address a woman, once well-to-do and sheltered, who now lives a bohemian lifestyle and the words “rolling stone” is exactly about the loss of innocence and the harshness of experience.Unlike conventional chart hits of the time, this hit single expressed resentment and a yearning for revenge, but it still lists number one on the list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.And this song also demonstrates Dylan’s successful transition from political folksinger to alienated rock musician.Dylan’s music made rock music become a power, a way of expression, what’s more, a cultural phenomenon.His music – mysterious, elusive and fascinating – speaks to an entire generation and inspires many other musicians to follow his lead in self-expression, he represents the changes of the times and the spirit of resistance.In music history, only the famous rock band, the Beatles, can be compared with him.Dylan has woncountless prizes and is the very first musician of his genre to win the Pulitzer Prize for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”.Throughout his life, Bob Dylan is indeed uninhibited and unrestrained, he would rather others call him poet than musician, “I consider myself a poet first and a musician second.I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet”.Dylan’s distinctive way of singing with a nasal twang, poetic lyrics and particular musical themes have produced some greatest songs ever written and consequently make him one of the most popular and influential musicians.

(二)上海
上海迪士尼度假区拥有两家主题鲜明的酒店:上海迪士尼乐园酒店和玩具总动员。两家酒店将提供丰富多样的娱乐活动、美食飨宴、购物体验及其他休闲选择,在蕴含中国魅力和特色的同时为宾客带来”唯有在迪士尼“的独特体验
上海迪士尼乐园酒店是上海迪士尼度假区的标志性酒店,拥有420间客房,以高雅的”新艺术主义“为设计风格,充满迪士尼的神奇和想象力,从装饰、墙面、窗帘到家具,到处都呈现着迪士尼的奇思妙想。
进入上海迪士尼乐园酒店,门廊处将会有栩栩如生的米奇和米妮铜像欢迎宾客的到来。信步酒店中,宾客还有机会巧遇《小美人鱼》、《美女与野兽》、《灰姑娘》和《狮子王》等经典动画中的迪士尼明星。
上海迪士尼乐园酒店在提供丰富的餐饮选择的同时,更会将迪士尼主题故事带入用餐体验中。宾客们既可以在上海迪士尼乐园酒店的卢米亚厨房自助餐厅与迪士尼明星们共同进餐,也可以在绚景楼一边享用正餐,一边欣赏上海迪士尼度假区的壮丽景色。
玩具总动员酒店是上海迪士尼度假区内的另一家迪士尼主题酒店,拥有800间客房,将宾客带入风靡全球的迪士尼·皮克斯系列电影《玩具总动员》中的精彩玩具世界。
对于偏爱《玩具总动员》的宾客,玩具总动员酒店会是完美的选择,特别设计的胡迪牛仔苑和巴斯光年苑两玩具总动员酒店效果图个庭院,让宾客可以在这里尽情嬉戏玩耍放松,仿佛置身玩具世界,感受不同一般的趣味体验。而其中的阳光食汇不仅提供高品质的饮食,天花板上飘扬着的以玩具总动员种的动画明星为主题的中式风筝,这些风筝的灵感源于中国著名风筝之乡--山东潍坊的传统风筝制作工艺。
两座迪士尼主题酒店秉承全球迪士尼度假区的世界级标准,将以热情贴心的服务和一丝不苟的精神服务来打动每一位宾客。得益于与上海迪士尼乐园以及星愿湖比邻的优势,酒店将提供迪士尼独特的宾客服务,包括商品领取服务,行李寄存,迪士尼度假区穿梭巴士和轮渡等。
为了满足中国宾客的需求,这两座迪士尼主题酒店还将中国的传统文化融入迪士尼独一无二的妙趣之中。在上海迪士尼乐园酒店的喷泉中央,有一件别具中国特色的作品:一件独特的大型琉璃牡丹雕塑,雕塑周围环绕着经典迪士尼精灵们。这朵在上海制作的中国传统名花--牡丹,将会是中国最大的琉璃花卉雕塑之一。为了更贴合中国宾客的喜好,两家酒店不仅精心设计了令人愉悦的标志性香氛,还将提供包括拖鞋和高级茶包等符合亚洲宾客习惯的客房用品。
在各式各样的主题酒店设施中,迪士尼的故事讲述同样无处不在,包括米奇儿童游乐室、”哈库拉玛塔塔“乐苑、川顿王游泳池等。迪士尼人物主题的房卡、洗漱用品、明信片和文具等将让宾客完全置身于迪士尼的世界之中;两家酒店内的礼品店更将提供琳琅满目的迪士尼精选商品,他们将和旅程中难忘的点点滴滴一起被宾客们珍藏。在上海迪士尼度假区尽情玩乐或是用餐之余,爸爸妈妈们还可以带着孩子们前往酒店内的家庭活动中心,参与各种以迪士尼或迪士尼·皮克斯为特色的互动活动、手工制作、儿童游戏以及讲故事时间。
四、企业文化、
(一)文化精髓
迪斯尼文化的精髓是:“创造幸福”。
“创造幸福”是美国迪斯尼公司近百年来一直不变的品牌服务主题。而将“幸福”变现财富,迪斯尼品牌的价值才得以彰显。
迪斯尼成功的市场实践表明,“幸福”产品化是一项系统工程。在这项工程中,不仅需要对“幸福”细节的全面关注,还需要对“幸福”流程的完美整合,最后才打造出“为世界各地所有不同年龄段的人们创造幸福”的魔力品牌。
在迪斯尼,细节关怀作为“幸福”体验的源泉无处不在。对于所有到迪斯尼乐园游玩的顾客,迪斯尼对他们的定位是“客人”而非客户,因为在公司员工的心中,一个不高兴的“客人”和一个不高兴的“客户”,显然是两种不同的概念,即客人是受欢迎的,而客户往往是统计数字。
而迪斯尼的员工,在公司内部则统称为“演员”,因为“演员”称呼的感觉重心落在具有互动表演价值的“演”上,而不是为工作而工作的“工”上
企业价值观
(二)、企业价值观

5、尊重-Decency迪士尼尊重每一个人,迪士尼的乐趣是基于自己的体验,并不取笑他人
(三)、经营理念
经营理念之一:营造欢乐氛围
由游客和员工共同营造迪斯尼乐园的欢乐氛围。在共同营造园区氛围中,员工起着主导作用。主导作用具体表现在对游客的服务行为表示上。这种行为包括微笑、眼神交流、令人愉悦的行为、特定角色的表演,以及与顾客接触的每一细节上。引导游客参与是营造欢乐氛围的另一重要方式。游客们能同艺术家同台舞蹈、参与电影配音、制作小型电视片等等,引导游客进入一种欢乐无疑的世界氛围中。
经营理念之二:给游客以欢乐
整个迪斯尼经营业务的生命力,在于能否使游客欢乐。因此,给游客以欢乐,成为迪斯尼乐园始终如一的经营理念和服务承诺。迪斯尼懂得,不能让游客失望,哪怕只有一次。公司“给游客以欢乐”的经营理念,必须转化落实到每一员工的具体工作中,成为员工们的工作理念和服务承诺。为了实现服务承诺,迪斯尼公司花大力气,对员工工作表现进行评估和奖励。凡员工工作表现欠佳者,将重新培训,或将受到纪律处罚。
经营理念之三:鼓励全员创新
有位工作人员想出了好点子,想要戴一个米老鼠的大手套和游客击掌。还有些员工提出要在迎宾处吹泡泡,他们觉得这样做更能吸引孩子们。一个小小的创意,就使得员工与游客之间的关系更加亲密、更加和谐。而这些吹泡泡、戴大手套等新奇的创意服务全都来自员工。
今天,迪斯尼能把主题乐园打造的如此成功,得益于员工们创意式的服务,全体员工的创新。迪斯尼为了创新,甚至雇佣了来自世界各地的大学生。他们从事不同的基层工作,和游客打交道。大家带着各自的文化背景、思维方式和新鲜的想法来到迪斯尼,为迪斯尼的创新型服务而奉献。这种鼓励全体员工去创新的方式使得游客得到了热情的服务与美好的回忆,员工们得到了尊重与个人价值的实现,并在玩乐中完成了本应无聊辛苦的工作。
经营理念之四:把握游客需求
为了准确把握游客需求,迪斯尼致力研究“游客学”。其目的是了解谁是游客,他们的起初需求是什么。在这一理念指导下,迪斯尼站在游客的角度,审视自身每一项经营决策。营销部重点研究游客们对未来娱乐项目的期望、游玩热点和兴趣转移。同时,信息中心存了大量关于游客需求和偏好的信息。其中,最重要的信息是游客离园时进行的“价格/ 价值”随机调查。正如华特迪斯尼先生所强调的,游园时光决不能虚度,游园必须物有所值。因为,游客只愿为高质量的服务而付钱。其中,现场走访是了解游客需求最重要的工作。管理上层经常到各娱乐项目点上,直接同游客和员工交谈,以期获取第一手资料,体验游客的真实需求。同时,一旦发现系统运作有误,及时加以纠正。
经营理念之五:提高员工素质
迪斯尼的管理者努力使员工们懂得,这里所做的一切,都将成为世界娱乐业的主流和里程碑。迪斯尼制定5一10年中长期的人力资源规划,每年更新一次。每年还拨出足够的经费预算,进行人员培训。迪斯尼乐园中的每个工作岗位,都有详尽的书面职务说明。工作要求明白无误,细致具体,环环紧扣,有规可循,同时强调纪律,认真和努力工作。每隔一个周期,严格进行工作考评。如此可以统一服务处事原则。而服务业成功的秘诀在于,每一员工对待顾客的正确行为和处事。由游客评判服务质量优劣。迪斯尼认为,服务质量应是可触摸、可感受和可体验的,并且游客掌握着服务质量优劣的最终评价权。公司指出,游客们根据事先的期望值和服务后的体验,加以比较评价,然后确定服务质量之优劣。因而,迪斯尼教育员工,一线员工所提供的服务水平,必须努力超过游客的期望值,从而使迪期尼乐园真正成为创造奇迹和梦幻的乐园。
经营理念之六:完善服务系统
小到一台电脑,大到电力系统交通运输系统、园艺保养、中心售货商场、人力调配、技术维修系统等等。这些部门的正常运行,均是迪斯尼乐园高效运行的重要保障。此外,迪斯尼乐园在经营中力求完善,不断改进和提高。任何时候,整个乐园中都有10%至20%的设施正在更新或调整,以期给予游客新的刺激和欢乐。尽管追求完善永无止境,但通过追求完美的努力,可将工作推进到更高境界和标准。
