第二篇:迪士尼經(jīng)典人物英文介紹
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 Schneewei?chen und Rosenrot), another fairy tale that was also collected by the Brothers Grimm.Hua Mulan(花木蘭)is a heroine who joined an all-male army, described in a Chinese poem known as the Ballad of Mulan(木蘭辭).The poem was first written in the Musical Records of Old and New(古今樂錄)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(樂府詩), 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

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.唐老鴨

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‘a(chǎn)nd 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
Character Genealogy
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.經(jīng)典語句:Are you possessed with a devil to talk in that manner to me when you are dying?Do you reflect(考慮到)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(翻騰)in the torments of hell?凱瑟琳,你知道我只要活著就不會(huì)忘掉你!當(dāng)你得到安息的時(shí)候,我卻要在地獄的折磨里受煎熬,這還不夠使你那狠毒的自私心得到滿足嗎?
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?你現(xiàn)在才使我明白你曾經(jīng)多么殘酷——?dú)埧嵊痔搨?。你過去為什么瞧不起我呢?你為什么欺騙你自己的心呢,凱蒂?
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(使苦惱)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(深淵), where I cannot find you!
第四篇:Bob Dylan 英文人物介紹及評(píng)論
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.

只要用心的愛自己和這個(gè)世界,再大的困境都能超越。上帝給了尼克胡哲不完整的肢體,卻讓他在以后的生活中逐漸成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)擁有完整人格,并將愛播撒到世界各地的人。他不僅獲得了會(huì)計(jì)和財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃的雙學(xué)位,更是創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)又一個(gè)生命的奇跡。他的生命比一個(gè)四肢健全的人更加完整、更加魅力四射!
八、海倫·凱勒
獲獎(jiǎng)名片:自強(qiáng)不息,無私奉獻(xiàn) 【評(píng)價(jià)】
無聲無光,她生活在一個(gè)黑暗的世界里,可她憑借堅(jiān)韌的毅力,點(diǎn)燃心中的太陽,燃燒自己、照亮世界!
【頒獎(jiǎng)詞】
生命的缺陷讓她學(xué)會(huì)堅(jiān)強(qiáng),人生的苦難讓她學(xué)會(huì)自強(qiáng)不息。她點(diǎn)亮內(nèi)心的火炬,她堅(jiān)信這個(gè)世界需要她。于是,她用行動(dòng)改變世界,讓世界充滿“光明”!
【主要事跡】
海倫·凱勒,19世紀(jì)美國盲聾女作家、教育家、慈善家、社會(huì)活動(dòng)家。她在19個(gè)月的時(shí)候因?yàn)橐粓?chǎng)高燒,失去了視力和聽力。在這黑暗而又寂寞的世界里,她自暴自棄,但在導(dǎo)師安妮·莎莉文的幫助下,海倫學(xué)會(huì)用頑強(qiáng)的毅力克服生理缺陷所造成的精神痛苦。在她導(dǎo)師的盲人教導(dǎo)和盲人學(xué)校的教學(xué)下,她熱愛生活并從中得到許多知識(shí),學(xué)會(huì)了讀書和說話,并開始和其他人溝通。以優(yōu)異的成績(jī)畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)拉德克利夫女子學(xué)院,成為一位學(xué)識(shí)淵博,掌握英語、法語、德語、拉丁語、希臘語五種語言的著名的作家和教育家。她走遍世界各地,為盲人募集資金,把自己的一生獻(xiàn)給了盲人福利和教育事業(yè)。她獲得了世界各國人民的贊揚(yáng),并得到許多國家政府的嘉獎(jiǎng)。
一個(gè)盲人取得這么大的成就是何等令人驚訝!如果海倫屈服于不幸的命運(yùn),那么她將成為一個(gè)可憐而又愚昧的寄生者。然而她沒有向命運(yùn)低頭,她以驚人的爆發(fā)力,頑強(qiáng)的精神,走完了人生的道路,為人類做出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn),成為一個(gè)知識(shí)廣博,令天下人尊敬的人。
海倫的一生是不平凡的,她給予人們極大的鼓舞,使那些虛度光陰的人萬分悔恨。記得海倫曾提出這樣一來的問題:“假如你的眼睛明天將要失明,你今天要看什么?”這使我懂得一個(gè)道理:我們健康人,不能遲疑,不能虛度光陰,應(yīng)該珍惜這美好的時(shí)光,珍惜這美好的生活。
九、亞伯拉罕·林肯
獲獎(jiǎng)名片:堅(jiān)持到底,永不退縮 【評(píng)價(jià)】
他是鋼鐵鑄成的硬漢,有著像鉆石一樣的意志力。他是美國最偉大的總統(tǒng),用永不退縮的精神為世人作出表率。
【頒獎(jiǎng)詞】
他有著把路走絕的精神:激流勇退是一種境界,把路走絕是一種精神。世界上最高的榮譽(yù)不是永不倒下,而是每次倒下都能夠重新站起。林肯用他一生的挫 5 折和奮斗來見證這世界上最高的榮譽(yù)。林肯,一個(gè)鋼鐵硬漢,他可以被打倒,但是他永遠(yuǎn)不可能被打敗。堅(jiān)持到底、永不退縮,是他對(duì)生命的詮釋!
【主要事跡】
生下來就一貧如洗的林肯,終其一生都在面對(duì)挫敗,他曾兩次競(jìng)選州長(zhǎng),但均以失敗告終。后來競(jìng)選參議員,也遭受失敗打擊。此后他投身商界,卻因投資失誤而傾家蕩產(chǎn)。林肯沒有屈服,而是抬起他高昂的頭顱。可是,命運(yùn)依然最殘酷地對(duì)待他,他的妻子又不幸離世,這讓他痛苦不堪,精神幾近崩潰,甚至不得不被送進(jìn)精神病院。但是,最后,朋友的幫助、頑強(qiáng)的信念,又讓他再次振作起來。他終于成功了,成為美國歷史上最著名的總統(tǒng)之一。林肯,天下無敵,他有著鋼鐵般的意志力,而且從不放棄!
十、科比
獲獎(jiǎng)名片:紫金戰(zhàn)神 【評(píng)價(jià)】
1、在浮華的年代,他堅(jiān)持著最初的夢(mèng)想,“洛杉磯四點(diǎn)的清晨”是他的名片,在最后時(shí)刻站出來是他的擔(dān)當(dāng)。
2、“我已經(jīng)看遍了洛杉磯凌晨四點(diǎn)的景象”,這是科比取得如此成就的最好說明。他已經(jīng)獲得了作為籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員應(yīng)該獲得的所有榮譽(yù),即使這樣,他也從不因此懈怠。他眼中透露著淡然與從容,他有一顆冠軍之心。
【頒獎(jiǎng)詞】
從他的嘴里,你聽不到“放棄”二字,即使只剩一只正常的胳膊,他也要帶領(lǐng)球隊(duì)拼殺。盡管衛(wèi)冕之路荊棘滿布,但他從不對(duì)困難低頭。傷病無法阻止意志,他的血液里流淌著紫金。
【主要事跡】
科比·布萊恩特是洛杉磯湖人隊(duì)的當(dāng)家球星。他自幼酷愛籃球,在18歲時(shí)成為洛杉磯湖人隊(duì)的一名球員,開始了他波瀾壯闊的籃球生涯。年少成名的他并沒有忘乎所以,當(dāng)別人還在睡夢(mèng)中時(shí),他便迎著清晨的曙光奔跑在洛杉磯的街道上;當(dāng)別的球員流連于酒吧夜店時(shí),他還在球場(chǎng)上盡情揮灑汗水。他成功了,手握五枚總冠軍戒指,榮耀無限。今年的他已經(jīng)35歲了,但仍然拼殺在水平最高的競(jìng)技舞臺(tái)上。也許有一天,他跑不快了,跳不高了,但請(qǐng)不要責(zé)備他,我們永遠(yuǎn)記住了他曾經(jīng)帶給我們的感動(dòng),帶給我們的震撼。
主要事跡:美國職業(yè)籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員,自1996年起效力于NBA洛杉磯湖人隊(duì),司職得分后衛(wèi)。科比·布萊恩特是前NBA籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員喬·布萊恩特的兒子??票仁荖BA最好的得分手之一,突破、投籃、罰球、三分球他都駕輕就熟,幾乎沒有進(jìn)攻盲區(qū),單場(chǎng)比賽81分的個(gè)人紀(jì)錄就有力的證明了這一點(diǎn)。除了瘋狂的得分外,科比的組織能力也很出眾,經(jīng)常擔(dān)任球隊(duì)進(jìn)攻的第一發(fā)起人。另外科比還是聯(lián)盟中最好的防守人之一,貼身防守非常具有壓迫性。
