第二篇：Thoughts on(英语系读书笔记)
Thoughts on “The Merchant of Venice”
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist.He is often called England's national poet and the “Bard of Avon”.His surviving works, including some collaboration, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems.His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.His works is almost a tragedy in the world, “Romeo and Juliet”, millennium sung a thousand tearsflow;“Hamlet” a happy prince of melancholy is not too shocked a large number of people, but his comedy is also worth Time to rend.There is the plot of “The Merchant of Venice”.Bassano, a young Venetian, of noble rank but having squandered his estate, wishes to travel to Belmont to woo the beautiful and wealthy heiress Portia.He approaches his friend Antonio, a wealthy and generous merchant, who has previously and repeatedly bailed him out, for three thousand ducats needed to subsidize his traveling expenditures as a suitor for three months.Antonio agrees, but he is cash-poor;his ships and merchandise are busy at sea.He promises to cover a bond if Bassano can find a lender, so Bassano turns to the Jewish moneylender Shylock and names Antonio as the loan’s guarantor.Shylock hates Antonio, both because he is a Christian and because he insulted and spat on Shylock for being a Jew.Also, Antonio undermines Shylock's moneylending business by lending money at zero interest.Shylock proposes a condition for the loan: if Antonio is unable to repay it at the specified date, he may take a pound of Antonio's flesh.Bassano does not want Antonio to accept such a risky condition;Antonio is surprised by what he sees as the moneylender's generosity, and he signs the contract.With money at hand, Bassano leaves for Belmont with his friend Gratian, who has asked to accompany him.Gratian is a likeable young man, but is often flippant, overly talkative, and tactless.Bassano warns his companion to exercise self-control, and the two leave for Belmont and Portia.In Belmont, Portia is awash with suitors.Her father has left a will stipulating each of her suitors must choose correctly from one of three caskets – one each of gold, silver, and lead – before he could win Portia's hand.In order to be granted an opportunity to marry Portia, each suitor must agree in advance to live out his life as a bachelor if he loses the contest.The suitor who correctly looks past the outward appearance of the caskets will find Portia's portrait inside and win her hand.After two suitors, the Princes of Morocco and Aragon, incorrectly choose the gold and silver caskets, Bassano chooses the leaden casket.He gets it right.The other two contain mocking verses, including the famous phrase all that glisters is not gold
At Venice, Antonio's ships are reported lost at sea.This leaves him unable to
satisfy the bond.Shylock is even more determined to exact revenge from Christians after his daughter Jessica flees his home to convert to Christianity and elope with Lorenzo, taking a substantial amount of Shylock's wealth with her.Shylock has Antonio arrested and brought before court.At Belmont, Portia and Bassano have just been married, as have Gratian and Portia's handmaid Merissa.Bassano receives a letter telling him that Antonio has defaulted on his loan from Shylock.Shocked, Bassano and Gratian leave for Venice immediately, with money from Portia, to save Antonio's life by offering the money to Shylock.Unknown to Bassano and Gratian, Portia has sent her servant, Balthazar, to seek the counsel of Portia's cousin, Bellagio, a lawyer, at Padua.Shylock refuses Bassano’s offer of 6,000 ducats, twice the amount of the loan.He demands his pound of flesh from Antonio.The Duke, wishing to save Antonio but unwilling to set a dangerous legal precedent of nullifying a contract, refers the case to a visitor who introduces himself as Balthazar, a young male “doctor of the law”, bearing a letter of recommendation to the Duke from the learned lawyer Bellagio.The “doctor” is actually Portia in disguise, and the “law clerk” who accompanies her is actually Merissa, also in disguise.Portia, as “Balthazar”, asks Shylock to show mercy in a famous speech, but Shylock refuses.Thus the court must allow Shylock to extract the pound of flesh.Shylock tells Antonio to “prepare”.At that very moment, Portia points out a flaw in the contract: the bond only allows Shylock to remove the flesh, not the “blood”, of Antonio.Thus, if Shylock were to shed any drop of Antonio's blood, his “lands and goods” would be forfeited under Venetian laws.Defeated, Shylock concedes to accepting Bassano’s offer of money for the defaulted bond, but Portia prevents him from taking the money on the ground that he has already refused it.She then cites a law under which Shylock, as a Jew and therefore an “alien”, having attempted to take the life of a citizen, has forfeited his property, half to the government and half to Antonio, leaving his life at the mercy of the Duke.The Duke immediately pardons Shylock's life.Antonio asks for his share “in use” until Shylock's death, when the principal will be given to Lorenzo and Jessica.At Antonio's request, the Duke Grants remission of the state's half of forfeiture, but in return, Shylock is forced to convert to Christianity and to make a will bequeathing his entire estate to Lorenzo and Jessica.Bassano does not recognize his disguised wife, but offers to give a present to the supposed lawyer.First she declines, but after he insists, Portia requests his ring and his gloves.He parts with his gloves without a second thought, but gives the ring only after much persuasion from Antonio, as earlier in the play he promised his wife never to lose, sell or give it.Merissa, as the lawyer's clerk, also succeeds in likewise retrieving her ring from Gratian, who does not see through her disguise.At Belmont, Portia and Merissa taunt and pretend to accuse their husbands before revealing they were really the lawyer and his clerk in disguise.After all the other characters make amends, all ends happilyas Antonio learns from Portia that three of his ships were not stranded and have returned safely after all.After reading this novel, I have suffered a lot.To start with, Antonio was left a deep impression on me.He was a kind hearted and honest gentleman.He borrowed a lot of money from Shylock when his trading ships didn’t come back and no money could lend to Bassano.Hearing the news about Antonio’s trading ships sinking in the sea, Shylock demanded Antonio’s pound of flesh rather than the double money.But at that time, Antonio didn’t complaint about his good friend, Bassano, and even agreed with Shylock’s thought that gave back to Shylock a pound of flesh.He can devote his life to his friend without saying a word.Then, Portia was so smart that she saved Antonio in the court.The ”doctor“ is actually Portia in disguise, and the ”law clerk“ who accompanies her is actually Merissa, also in disguise.When shylock demanded Antonio a pound of flesh, she agreed with his thought, but Portia pointed out aflaw in the contract: the bond only allows Shylock to remove the flesh, not the ”blood“, of Antonio.Thus, if Shylock were to shed any drop of Antonio's blood, his ”lands and goods" would be forfeited under Venetian laws
What’ more, play a hateful, and that neither sympathetic character,Shylock.He was forced to become a selfish and numbness man., he is a Jew;shylock.he said “don’t the eyes, noconsciousness, facial limbs, no emotion, effete? He is not to eat the same food , can be the same weapon damage , also need medical treatment , can feel could in winder , the summer heat , with Christian will feel like?”
In the future study and life,Isee a truth: “all that glitters is not gold,”and, “as long as gold is ultimately will shine.”So we should only one step a footprint, down-to-earth to succeed.
第三篇：英语系工作总结
英语系工作总结
本学期是xxxx学的第一个学期，英语系在学院领导的关怀和指导下，继续坚持以邓小平理论和 “三个代表”为指导思想，以党的十六届六中全会和十七大精神为指针，深入学习实践科学发展观，以教学工作为重心，加强领导，落实责任，全系动员，全力以赴，狠抓教学质量和学生管理，促进了全系各项工作的全面开展。本学期英语系的工作重点仍然是抓稳定，抓质量，主要涉及到以下几个方面。
一．政治思想工作
教师队伍建设是教育教学质量的稳步提高的前提和保障，英语系一贯重视抓师资建设，始终把理论学习、业务自修和师德修养放在重要地位。领导成员在管理工作中带头学习，并对教职工提出了具体要求，鼓励教师加强自身专业学习和各方面能力的培养。本学期在学院党委的领导下，我系老师积极参加到深入学习实践科学发展观的系列讲座中，结合学院转型的实际情况转变思路，拓宽思维。在参与讲座吸收新知的同时，系领导也通过教研会等途径对老师们进行正确的引导，老师们也能做到认真思考和积极探讨。
二．教学管理工作
学校的中心工作是教学工作，教育质量是学校的生命线。我系对教学工作一向非常重视。在教学管理方面，本学期和教务配合主要完成了以下具体工作：

在各项工作的具体实施过程中，我们都做到一丝不苟，团结协作，确保各项工作按质按量地圆满完成。
三．教学研究工作
本学期我们分别召开了三次教研活动和两次学生座谈会。这三次教研活动分别是在开学刚始、期中、期末举行。第一次教研活动的主要内容一是布置本学期的工作安排和教学进度，二是庆祝上学期我院学生在英语专八考试中取得了突破性的成绩。第二次教研活动，主要针对当前我院在校学生只有三、四年级的特殊情况，缺勤率增高的现象，学院和系、教研室领导都提出要各位教师要在坚持课堂考勤的同时，不断提高教学质量，尤其是年轻教师更要不断钻研教材的难、重点，通过集体备课，集思广益，取长补短，加深对教材的理解，明确教材的难点和重点及应采用的教学方法。努力用优质的教学，把学生吸引到课堂上来，留在课堂。第三次教研活动，主要为期末考试做了布置工作。要求本系教师必须严格按照学院《课程教学基本要求》出题，如试题内容涵盖要全面，试题题型要多样化，试题格式要规范等多方面要求。
在两次学生座谈会上，本系的系主任柯吉贵教授和教研室主任谭昌光教授、李五全教授共同认真听取了学生关于本系教学工作的意见和建议。对于学生积极正当的要求，都给予了充分的肯定和支持，会后在同学院领导商议之后，对学生的各项要求都一一做了答复。如为06级外事英语专业学生增加了周光亚教授的《语言学》课程。
四． 总述
本期以来，全系教师能以团结协作、敬业、求实的精神，不计得失，不计报酬的做好每一件事。在工作中我们敢于创新，善于创新。在院领导的支持和兄弟系、室的帮助下，我们通过在工作中不断总结和探索，较圆满地完成了本学期的工作。尽管工作中仍然有一些突发事件出现，但我们还是能够做到以学院稳定为宗旨，以教学质量为重心，确保工作的顺利圆满完成。我们做了一些工作，但还有很多工作要做，任重而道远，英语系将继续以朝气蓬勃的精神面貌，勤奋、求实、创新的工作作风，团结拼博，努力工作，为我院的进一步发展贡献自己的力量。

第五篇：北大英语系
北京大学英语系的前身为成立于1862 年的京师同文馆，后者是专门为清政府培养外语人才的。1902年清政府下令恢复京师大学堂时，决定将同文馆并入大学堂。次年5月，大学堂又议定将同文馆改为译学馆，在北河沿购置房舍，于8月正式招生开学，分设英、俄、法、德、日五国语言文字专科，学制五年毕业。以及东方学研究院、世界文学中心三个研究机构。1999年6月22日，北京大学英语系同东方学系、西语系、和俄语系合并而成北京大学外国语学院，下设东语系、日语系、阿拉伯语系、法语系、德语系、北大英语专业教育的特色是 : 立足于听、说、读、写等最基本的实用技能，详悉最细碎的语言现象，同时汲取千百年来西方文明长河中沉积下来的人文养分，以多重的视角和高超的境界观察和走入现代社会。语言与文化并举，技能与思想联姻。这便是北大英语系的教育方针和教学实践。得益于综合性大学各学科交叉互补的教育环境，北大英语系所培养的不仅仅是工具型的优秀外语人才，而且是具有高度人文素养、对人类文化和世界文明有较深造诣的“北大人”。
我系目前开设英语精读、视听训练、口译笔译、商业英语及计算机等课程，同时也有一整套文化、文学、语言学、思想史及电影与戏剧等方面的课程。本科生也可根据自己的兴趣和能力，选修一门辅修专业，或攻读双学位课程。本科生中优秀者可在三年级时直接攻读硕士，或在毕业时免试直攻硕士甚至博士学位。北京大学外国语学院英语系英语语言文学专业是我国最早的英语语言文学硕士点和博士点之一，也是国家教育部确定的全国四个英语重点学科点之一。近年来，又成为外国语言文学学科的博士后流动站。
北大英语系有一支年轻化、高学历的教师队伍。随着教师队伍进一步年轻化，具有博士学位和国际化教育背景的教师人数将稳步增加。另有多名英美教师任教，并有国际学者频繁莅临讲学。
北京大学英语系：
一、专业概况
英语语言文学为国家重点学科、与外国语言学及应用语言学均为一级博士点。
1919年北京大学建立英语系，胡适任系主任。至今已有83年的历史。北大英语系是我国第一批硕士点和博士点之一，也是外国语言文学专业的博士后流动站和国家第一批重点学科点。研究门类齐全、研究实力雄厚。
英语系研究生共设有英语文学、英语语言学、美国研究、翻译研究、和英语教育等五个专业方向，学制为3年。现任院长程朝翔教授。
二、师资力量
北大英语系共有教授23名。具有博士学位的22名。英语系出版了大量学术专著、骨干教材和优秀译作。
三、就业前景
北大英语系研究生毕业后，有的攻读博士学位继续深造，也有在国家部委、外事部门、各级政府、新闻出版等外事部门任职。
