- 类 / 历史传记
- 文 / 大卫·麦卡勒 播 / 佚名
- 1765年亚当斯在《波士顿公报》上发表文章抨击《印花税法》，自此他便积极参与殖民地的政治.尽管亚当斯批评英国的政策，但他还是为那些被控在1770年波士顿大屠杀中杀死五个殖民地居民的英国士兵辩护；结果指挥官和几个士兵都被宣判无罪。他这样心甘情愿地站在令人讨厌的一边辩护并没有妨碍他的政治生涯。1774年，他当上第一次大陆议会的代表。其后又参加了第二届大陆会议，他也是由托马斯·杰斐逊组成的《独立宣言》起草委员会的成员。被誉为“美国独立的巨人”。亚当斯是美国第一任副总统，后来又当选为总统(1797－1801)。由于他任职期间在内政、外交方面均无明显成就，1800年竞选总统时被托马斯·杰斐逊击败。他和杰斐逊都是在美国独立五十周年纪念日──1826年7月4日去世的。其子约翰·昆西·亚当斯是美国第六任总统。

- 一个三十四岁的离婚女子，回首来时路，怅然若失。她想起曾经的偶遇，冥冥中的启示，她独自一人，开始了自我追寻的旅程。我是什么·我为何来到此·该如何才能使我找到真正的快乐·本书原文书名《Eat,Pray,Love》，说得多么简单直接！打开感官，寄托心灵，并在爱里释放自己。剑影，投影在女人广大的生命中”，伍尔芙的话，道出关于习俗、传统与秩序之于女人一生的伤伐。离婚之前，作者对照自己与母亲的婚姻经历，惊觉“被独立地尊重与爱”，是两代女性在婚姻中的共同渴望。决定离婚的作者，失去婚姻，就似乎失去生活的自信；她与几个男子坠入情网，但总是惶惶不安。她没有归属感，对于爱和被爱都是如此。书中的旅行，有点是放逐自己，但，山穷水尽，柳暗花明，谁也不知道，生命之旅会发生什么事情！

- 英美概况

- 《英美概况》学习外语的学生应该了解所学语言的国家的地理、历史、政治、文化、社会习俗以及该国人民的思想、态度和生活方式。然而多年来，外语教学却很少重视这些文化背景知识，致使念了三四年英语专业的学生尚不知“JohnBull”为何物，岂不贻笑大方·有些人把学习语言和学习知识对立起来，殊不知语言水平是“综合知识的汇集”。无论是攻读英美文学，还是阅读英美报刊，语言并不是唯一的困难，缺乏背景知识倒常常是一大障碍。况且中国与西方世界在政治、历史、文化诸方面有相当大的差别，一个中国学生在理解西方文化时将会遇到何等的困难是可以想象得到的。基于这种认识，我们在5年前就开设了英美概况课。可是，当时找不到一本合适的教材，我们只好给学生编写一些零零星星的材料，以解燃眉之急。后来，我们把这些材料收集起来，进行整理、加工、补充，使之更具有系统性，于是就编出了这套《英美概况》教材。现在，又做了新的补充和修订，正式出版，希望它能成为学生开阔视野、扩大知识面的益友……
