Unit 5 Enjoying novels Section 1 Backgrounds for Unit 5 Enjoying novels 1. Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë (April 21, 1816

–

March 31, 1855) was an English novelist, the eldest of the trio of Brontë sisters whose novels have become enduring classics of English literature.

In May 1846, she and her two younger sisters, Anne and Emily, published a joint collection of poetry under the names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, which, however, fell flat. Charlotte continued to use the name 'Currer Bell' when publishing her first two novels.

2. Anne Brontë

Anne Brontë (January 17, 1820

–

May 28, 1849) was a British author, the youngest of the trio of famous Brontë sisters who wrote acclaimed Victorian romantic novels of manners and society.

She was born in the village of Thornton, Yorkshire, England, the youngest of six siblings. Anne's mother died a year later, after the family had moved to Haworth where her father was perpetual curate. Much has been said about the influence of this death on her and her siblings and how it may have affected their writings. Two of her sisters, Charlotte and Emily, were also authors and poets. Anne's poetry was published, along with that of her sisters, in 1846, under the pseudonym

"Acton Bell".

3. Emily Jane Brontë

Emily Jane Brontë (July 30, 1818

–

December 19, 1848) was a British novelist and poet, best remembered for her one single novel

Wuthering Heights, which is now an acknowledged classic of English literature. Emily was the second (and some would say the finest writer) amongst the famous Brontë sisters.

4. George Eliot Mary Ann Evans, better known by the pen name

Enjoying novels

1.

She produced six completed novels, all of which deal with the problems and limitations of women’s choices. 她写了六部长篇全集，讲的都是妇女选择的种种问题和局限性。

句中all of which引导的是非限制性定语从句。

在“介词+which / whom”的结构中，介词的选择取决于三种情况：⑴定语从句中谓语动词或表语的搭配，比如：This is the college in which I am studying.

He is the man about whom we are talking. ⑵

先行词与介词的习惯搭配，当先行词表示“领域、方面”时，如：aspect, respect, area, field等，用

in which；

当先行词表示“价格、利率、速度”时，如：rate, price, speed 等，用at which；

当先行词表示“程度”时，如：degree, extent等，用

to which；当先行词表示“根据、依据、基础”时，如：grounds, foundation, basis等，用

on which。比如：

The speed at which the machine operates is shown on the meter. 仪表上显示出这台机器的运转的速度。It is useful to be able to predict the extent to which a price change will affect supply and demand. ⑶当定语从句为最高级时

只能用of which，否则用其他介词：

I have five dictionaries of which Longman Dictionary is the best. I have five dictionaries among which Longman Dictionary is published in UK. 注意：不可拆分的动词短语介词不能提前，如put up with；有的短语可能有不同的介词搭配，此时需要根据上下文来确定。如：be familiar with / to ; compare with / to。

2.

“Everyone knows that a single man with a fortune must be in want of a wife.”人人都知道富裕的单身男人一定都需要找个夫人。

stayed home for want of anything better to do没事可作只好待在家里

2. 贫乏：

lives in want 生活困苦

3. 欲望

a person of few wants and needs 清心寡欲的人

3.

5.

句中for which引导的是定语从句。

“介词＋关系代词”是一个普遍使用的结构，可以引导限制性定语从句，也可以引导非限制性定语从句。“介词＋关系代词”结构中的介词可以是

in, on, about, from, for, with, to at, of, without 等，关系代词只可用whom或

which,不可用

that 。

6.

These women having produced works of the highest quality, any survey of the 19th

century English literature must include them. 这些女人写出了高质量的产品,任何19世纪英文文学的调查一定会包括她们的。

逗号前是“名词+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构，请看更多例子：The test finished, we began our holiday. = When the test was finished, we began our holiday.考试结束了，我们开始放假。The president assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow. = After the president was assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow. 总统被谋杀了，举国上下沉浸在悲哀之中。

Weather permitting, we are going to visit you tomorrow. 如果天气允许，我们明天去看你。This done, we went home. 工作完成后，我们才回家。The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier. 会议结束后，每个人都想早点回家。He came into the room, his ears red with cold. 他回到了房子里，耳朵冻坏了。He came out of the library, a large book under his arm. 他夹着本厚书，走出了图书馆
