Warming Up

T: Good morning, students. This class we will learn Unit 5 Enjoying Novels. At first let’s begin this lesson with enjoying a video from the movie“Pride and Prejudice”. (播放电影小视频)

2

T：Do you like the movie? Ss:Yes, we do. T: The movie “Pride and Prejudice” is adapted from the novel “Pride and Prejudice” written by Jane Austen. There are many novels in China and foreign countries. Which novels do you like better, English novels or Chinese novels? （展示中国一些著名小说图片以及外国著名的小说图片）

Ss: （Answers may be different.) T: Yeah, OK. As we all know, many people have adapted the novels for many classic plays, movies, games, cartoons and so on, which have given us much fun. But have you ever read any novels written in English? Now Let’s enjoy some wonderful sentences quoted from the famous novels.

1.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.—

Pride and Prejudice 有钱的单身汉总要娶位太太，这是一条举世公认的真理。—《傲慢与偏见》

2.

Perhaps that is not possible for any one. But it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong understanding to ridicule.Such as vanity and pride.

—

Pride and Prejudice

或许谁都还会有这些弱点，否则可真糟了，绝顶的聪慧也要招人嘲笑了。我一生都在研究该怎么样避免这些弱点。例如虚荣和傲慢就是属

3

于这一类弱点。—

《傲慢与偏见》

3.

If God had given me wealth and beauty, I would have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is for me to leave you now. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit, just as if both had passed through the grave , and we stood at God’s feet, equal as w are.—

Jane Eyre 如果上帝赐予我财富和美貌，我会使你难于离开我，就像现在我难于离开你。上帝没有这么做，而我们的灵魂是平等的，就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓，站在上帝脚下，彼此平等—本来就如此。—《简.爱》

4.There is neither happiness nor misery in the world, there is only the comparision of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of living.—Le Comte de Monte-Cristo

在这个世界上既无所谓幸福也无所谓不幸，只有一种状况和另一种状况的比较，如此而已。只有体验过极度不幸的人，才能品尝到极度的幸福。只有下过死的决心的人，莫雷尔，才能懂得活着有多快乐。

—《基督山伯爵》

5.Everything has the place where the delightful bird sings, also has poisonous snake hissing sound calling. —Tess of the d’Urbevilles

凡是有鸟歌唱的地方，也都有毒蛇嘶嘶地叫--《德伯家的苔丝》
