The ________ of the man who beat the girl to death was not money but sheer killing.

A. intention B. reaction C. push D. drive

答:看这题有争议。因为此题有改编。

搜索网上,此题的原型:

英语Ⅲ级单选参考题 Unit 1[2007年01月08日]_

11. The ________ of the man who beat the girl to death was not for money but for killing.

A. motive B. motivation C. push D. drive

答案是A

而在新视野vocabulary 文档 (2)_百度文库 此题变成了:

11. The _ of the man who beat the girl to death was not money but sheer killing.

A. intention. B. reaction C. push D. drive

这两题考查近义词,我们还是查词典来说明问题吧:

1. motive: 朗文当代英语词典

the reason that makes someone do something, especially when this reason is kept hidden

 What do you suppose the killer"s motive was?

因为定语从句这故,题句不用the man"s motive 而用the motive of the man who...是可以的。

剑桥高级学习词典

motive 1

a reason for doing something:

Why would she have killed him? She has no motive.

Does he have a motive for lying about where he was?

What is the motive behind (= the reason for) the bombing?

I think you should examine/question their motives in offering to lend you the money.

She denies that she has has an ulterior (= secret) motive for making the donation.

见过one"s motive for doing sth.的表达,没找到:one"s motive is for sth. 或is for doing sth.的例句。暂且承认,此句意思是:

将女孩打死的男子的动机不是为了钱而就是要她的命。

原题中motivation是最大的干扰项,因为这两个词都有“动机”的解释,而motive主要是作为动词使用的。

2 [C] the need or reason for doing something:

What was the motivation for the attack?

The motivation behind the decision is the desire to improve our service to our customers.

似或第一题出得不太好,因为这两个是同义词。只不过motive较好些,因为

麦克米兰英语词典 - American 后面讲到了motive:

motive 1

the reason you do something:

Her motive was a genuine desire to improve conditions.

motive for: The motive for the attack is still unknown.

a. used in a negative way for showing that someone"s real reasons for doing something are not the ones that they tell other people:

real/underlying/ulterior motive: People thought he must have a ulterior motive for wanting to help.

这里是负面的动机,且涉及其真实动机。所以A最佳。

有人选D. drive,我们看一下这个作名词时的意思和用法:

If you say that someone has drive, you mean they have energy and determination.

John will be best remembered for his drive and enthusiasm.

[U] energy; ability to get things done 干劲; 能力; 魄力: Our sales people need determination and drive. 我们的推销人员需要有决心和干劲.

[C, U] (psychology 心) desire to attain a goal or satisfy a need 欲望; 内驱力: (a) strong sexual drive 强烈的性欲.

原题不是什么是什么,而是什么是为了什么(for sth.),所以这个drive不合逻辑。

但改过的题就不一样了,系表就是:is not money ,but sheer killing. 所以选D也有道理。

改编后的B项没有了motivation, 改成了不可能的reaction “反应”题目又简单一点了。

push作为名词,与drive是同义词:《牛津双解》:

[U] (infml 口) determination to succeed; drive 毅力; 推动力: He hasn"t enough push to be a successful salesman. 他缺乏优秀推销员应有的闯劲.

最后我们来看这个intention:

牛津高阶英汉双解词典

intention

/ ɪnˈtenʃn; ɪnˋtɛnʃən/ n

(a) [C, U] ~ (of doing sth/that...) that which one proposes or plans to do 意图; 意向; 目的; 打算: What are your intentions? ie What do you plan to do? 你有什麽打算? * She"s keeping her intentions to herself, ie not telling anyone what she plans to do. 她对自己的意图秘而不宣. * I came with the/every intention of staying, but now I"ve decided to leave. 我来时一心想留下, 但现在我已决定离开. * My intention was to stay. 我原意要留下. * I have no intention of coming (ie I shall certainly not come) to this terrible place again! 我再也不想到这个糟糕的地方 来了. * (dated 旧) Peter asked the young man if his intentions were honourable, ie if he intended to marry his daughter, whom he was courting. 彼得问那年轻人是否真心实意要娶他的女儿. (b) [U] (fml 文) intending 有意; 蓄意: I"m sorry I offended you; it wasn"t my intention. 对不起, 我冒犯您了, 但决不是有意的.

[C] purpose or aim; meaning 意图; 目的; 意思: What do you think was the author"s intention in this passage? 你认为作者写这一段的用意是什麽?

看了这么多,没有找到一句有 某人的motive( motivation/ drive/ push/ intention) is (not) sth. 或is (not) for sth. 的表达。

题句是汉语思维的结果吧。

题句本身不是很好,答案就不好说了。改过后的答案就A吧。

再也不做稀饭了

1. A 意思作案动机

2. D 在美国习惯了美国口音

3. D disguised as 是打扮,假扮成----

4.A instead of 是代替的意思

5.C What if 要是…又怎样

FinCloud

年前, 一个爸爸和一个妈妈想休假,所以他们决定晚上去城镇。他们叫来最信任一个人来照看孩子。当保姆来的时候,他们的连个孩子已经在床上睡着了。所以保姆只是看了看孩子是否睡的好,就坐下了。深夜,保姆觉得无聊就想去楼下看电视。但是她看不了,因为楼下没有电视(因为孩子的父母不希望他们的孩子看太多垃圾)。她就打电话给孩子的父母,问是否可以在他们的卧室看电视,当然孩子的父母同意了。但保姆又想要最后一个请求。她问是否可以用毯子或者衣服盖住那小丑雕像,因为那使她感到很害怕。电话沉默了一会。(此时爸爸在和保姆通话)他说:带孩子离开房间…… 我们将会叫警察……我们从来没有什么小丑雕像。那小丑很可能是一个从监狱逃出来的杀人犯。 电话里沉默了一会儿。 (正在跟保姆通话的孩子的父亲)说:带上孩子们,离开房子……我们会通知警察……我们没有一个小丑雕像…… 孩子们和保姆被小丑谋杀了。 结果是,小丑是一个从监狱里逃出来的杀人犯。 如果你不在5分钟内转发这个贴子,这个小丑在凌晨3点时将会拿着刀站在你的床前

花木兰 英文简介 带翻译

Hua Mulan (Chinese: 花木兰) is a legendary Chinese woman warrior from the Northern and Southern dynasties period (420–589) of Chinese history, originally described in the Ballad of Mulan (Chinese: 木兰辞; pinyin: Mùlán cí). In the ballad, Hua Mulan, disguised as a man,  takes her aged father"s place in the army. 华木兰(中文:花木兰)是中国历史上南北朝时期(420-589)的一位传奇女战士,原著于《木兰民谣》(中文:木兰;拼音:毛兰)。在民谣中,华牧兰伪装成一个男人,带着她年迈的父亲在军队里的位置。Mulan fought for twelve years and gained high merit, but she refused any reward and retired to her hometown. Though her existence is disputed she is most believed to be purely fictional.Mulan奋斗了十二年,获得了很高的成绩,但她拒绝了任何奖励,退休后回到了家乡。虽然她的存在是有争议的,但她被认为是纯粹虚构的。The historic setting of Hua Mulan is in the Northern Wei (386–536). Over a thousand years later, Xu Wei"s play from the Ming dynasty places her in the Northern Wei, whereas the Qing dynasty Sui Tang Romance has her active around the founding of the Tang c. 620. 花木兰的历史背景是北魏(386—536)。一千多年后,明代的徐渭剧将徐渭置于北魏,而清代的隋唐传奇则活跃于唐朝建国前后。In 621, the founder of the Tang dynasty was victorious over Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the latter was the father of Dou Xianniang, another female warrior who became Mulan"s laotong in the Sui Tang Romance.621年,唐朝的创始人战胜了王世冲和窦建德,窦建德是窦仙娘的父亲,窦仙娘是隋唐传奇中又一位成为木兰老通的女武士。  The Hua Mulan crater on Venus is named after her.金星上的花木兰陨石坑是以她的名字命名的。扩展资料花木兰,亳州人,汉孝烈将军、汉文帝时期,朝廷募兵,因父老弟幼,木兰代父从军,征战十二年,得胜归来,帝欲纳为妃, 木兰以死拒之。后来,群众把花木兰的英雄事迹编成民歌,广为传唱,后经文人加工润色,成为《木兰辞》。豫剧《花木兰》和美国迪斯尼动画片《花木兰》更使花木兰这个形象深入人心,成为爱国主义和巾帼英雄的典范。为表彰巾帼英雄花木兰,唐代追封她为“孝烈将军”,并在其故居建祠塑像,每年农历四月初八,皖、苏、豫、鲁交界百余里乡众来此祭祀贸易,形成古会, 流传至今。如今,花木兰故里魏园村竖起了一尊“木兰还乡”的巨大雕塑,再现了木兰当年的飒爽英姿。李绍义编著的《花木兰考》于1992年出版发行,武术爱好者程秀华于2008年成立了亳州市木兰拳协会,故乡人民用不同的方式表达对这位巾帼英雄的无比怀念和热爱。花木兰的故事主要流传于安徽亳州、河南、山东、河北等地。这些传说是由一个个故事组成,内容主题相当宽泛,大致可以分成:少年习武、勤奋好学;代父从军;军中作战成为榜样;爱护百姓等。“智取摩天岭”的故事就是其中一个。花木兰是中国经典的女英雄,根据她的故事改编的影视作品不计其数,她的故事也享誉全球,因为迪士尼的动画《Mulan》而让知名度更加的提升,迪士尼也宣布2020年上映的真人版《花木兰》将由中国女星刘亦菲出演。

One of Dickens most enduringly popular stories is Oliver Twist, an early work published 1837-8. Like many of his later novels, its central theme is the hardship faced by the dispossessed and those of the outside of tolite society. Oliver himself is born in a workhouse and treated cruelly there as was the norm at the time for pauper children, in particular by Bumble, a parish council official or eadle The story follows Oliver as he escapes the workhouse and runs away to London. Here he receives an education in villainy from the criminal gang of Fagin that includes the brutal thief Bill Sikes, the famous artful Dodger and Nancy, Bill whore. Oliver is rescued by the intervention of a benefactor - Mr Brownlow - but the mysterious Monks gets the gang to kidnap the boy again. Nancy intervenes but is murdered viciously by Sikes after she has showed some redeeming qualities and has discovered Monk sinister intention. The story closes happily and with justice for Bumble and the cruel Monks who has hidden the truth of Oliver parentage out of malice. Accusations were made that the book glamorised crime (like the ewgate Group of the period) but Dickens wisely disassociated himself from criminal romances. His achievement was in fact in presenting the underworld and problems of poverty to the well-off in a way rarely attempted previously.To Regain the Nature of Goodness —— Review of ‘Oliver Twist" Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens", is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don"t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose", he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself. To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people"s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness", they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest. Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin." That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those "vermin-to-be" to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

失业对经济和社会造成的影响

失业会产生诸多影响,一般可以将其分成两种:社会影响和经济影响。失业的社会影响虽然难以估计和衡量,但它最易为人们所感受到。失业威胁着作为社会单位和经济单位的家庭的稳定。没有收入或收入遭受损失,户主就不能起到应有的作用。家庭的要求和需要得不到满足,家庭关系将因此而受到损害。西方有关的心理学研究表明,解雇造成的创伤不亚于亲友的去世或学业上的失败。失业的经济影响可以用机会成本的概念来理解。当失业率上升时,经济中本可由失业工人生产出来的产品和劳务就损失了。拓展资料:一、隐蔽性失业(Disguised Unemployment),也叫隐形失业,失业是指劳动者表面上就业而实际上从事与其教育水平或能力不相符的工作的一种社会现象。在市场经济社会中,失业由于经济衰退等原因,熟练工人被迫去做半熟练的工作,失业或半熟练的工人被迫去做无须任何技能的工作,失业受过高等教育的人员找不到相应工作的情况更为常见。不发达闰家的隐蔽性失业现象要比发达国家严重得多。二、经济影响分析是分析项目投资建设和运营所发生的费用和效益对区域经济发展、产业发展及宏观经济所带来的影响,为协调项目与区域经济、产业发展和宏观经济之间的关系,促进项目的顺利实施及提高项目的经济影响效果提出措施建议。(1)区域经济影响分析。对区域经济可能产生重大影响的项目,从区域经济发展、产业空间布局、当地财政收支、社会收入分配、市场竞争结构以及是否可能导致结构失衡等角度进行分析评价。(2)行业经济影响分析。主要分析行业基本现状,拟建项目在行业中地位,对所在行业及关联产业发展、结构调整、行业垄断等的影响。(3)宏观经济影响分析。投资规模巨大的重大项目或对国民经济有重要影响的项目,应进行宏观经济影响分析。如果项目涉及国家经济安全,应分析拟建项目对国家经济安全的影响及维护国家经济安全的措施。

评论雾都孤儿(英文版)

Themes Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.The Failure of CharityMuch of the first part of Oliver Twist challenges the organizations of charity run by the church and the government in Dickens"s time. The system Dickens describes was put into place by the Poor Law of 1834, which stipulated that the poor could only receive government assistance if they moved into government workhouses. Residents of those workhouses were essentially inmates whose rights were severely curtailed by a host of onerous regulations. Labor was required, families were almost always separated, and rations of food and clothing were meager. The workhouses operated on the principle that poverty was the consequence of laziness and that the dreadful conditions in the workhouse would inspire the poor to better their own circumstances. Yet the economic dislocation of the Industrial Revolution made it impossible for many to do so, and the workhouses did not provide any means for social or economic betterment. Furthermore, as Dickens points out, the officials who ran the workhouses blatantly violated the values they preached to the poor. Dickens describes with great sarcasm the greed, laziness, and arrogance of charitable workers like Mr. Bumble and Mrs. Mann. In general, charitable institutions only reproduced the awful conditions in which the poor would live anyway. As Dickens puts it, the poor choose between “being starved by a gradual process in the house, or by a quick one out of it.”The Folly of Individualism With the rise of capitalism during the Industrial Revolution, individualism was very much in vogue as a philosophy. Victorian capitalists believed that society would run most smoothly if individuals looked out for their own interests. Ironically, the clearest pronunciation of this philosophy comes not from a legitimate businessman but from Fagin, who operates in the illicit businesses of theft and prostitution. He tells Noah Claypole that “a regard for number one holds us all together, and must do so, unless we would all go to pieces in company.” In other words, the group"s interests are best maintained if every individual looks out for “number one,” or himself. The folly of this philosophy is demonstrated at the end of the novel, when Nancy turns against Monks, Charley Bates turns against Sikes, and Monks turns against Mrs. Corney. Fagin"s unstable family, held together only by the self-interest of its members, is juxtaposed to the little society formed by Oliver, Brownlow, Rose Maylie, and their many friends. This second group is bound together not by concerns of self-interest but by “strong affection and humanity of heart,” the selfless devotion to each other that Dickens sees as the prerequisite for “perfect happiness.”Purity in a Corrupt CityThroughout the novel, Dickens confronts the question of whether the terrible environments he depicts have the power to “blacken [the soul] and change its hue for ever.” By examining the fates of most of the characters, we can assume that his answer is that they do not. Certainly, characters like Sikes and Fagin seem to have sustained permanent damage to their moral sensibilities. Yet even Sikes has a conscience, which manifests itself in the apparition of Nancy"s eyes that haunts him after he murders her. Charley Bates maintains enough of a sense of decency to try to capture Sikes. Of course, Oliver is above any corruption, though the novel removes him from unhealthy environments relatively early in his life. Most telling of all is Nancy, who, though she considers herself “lost almost beyond redemption,” ends up making the ultimate sacrifice for a child she hardly knows. In contrast, Monks, perhaps the novel"s most inhuman villain, was brought up amid wealth and comfort.The Countryside IdealizedAll the injustices and privations suffered by the poor in Oliver Twist occur in cities—either the great city of London or the provincial city where Oliver is born. When the Maylies take Oliver to the countryside, he discovers a “new existence.” Dickens asserts that even people who have spent their entire lives in “close and noisy places” are likely, in the last moments of their lives, to find comfort in half--imagined memories “of sky, and hill and plain.” Moreover, country scenes have the potential to “purify our thoughts” and erase some of the vices that develop in the city. Hence, in the country, “the poor people [are] so neat and clean,” living a life that is free of the squalor that torments their urban counterparts. Oliver and his new family settle in a small village at the novel"s end, as if a happy ending would not be possible in the city. Dickens"s portrait of rural life in Oliver Twist is more approving yet far less realistic than his portrait of urban life. This fact does not contradict, but rather supports, the general estimation of Dickens as a great urban writer. It is precisely Dickens"s distance from the countryside that allows him to idealize it.Motifs Motifs are recurring structures, contrasts, or literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text"s major themes.Disguised or Mistaken Identities The plot of Oliver Twist revolves around the various false identities that other characters impose upon Oliver, often for the sake of advancing their own interests. Mr. Bumble and the other workhouse officials insist on portraying Oliver as something he is not—an ungrateful, immoral pauper. Monks does his best to conceal Oliver"s real identity so that Monks himself can claim Oliver"s rightful inheritance. Characters also disguise their own identities when it serves them well to do so. Nancy pretends to be Oliver"s middle-class sister in order to get him back to Fagin, while Monks changes his name and poses as a common criminal rather than the heir he really is. Scenes depicting the manipulation of clothing indicate how it plays an important part in the construction of various characters" identities. Nancy dons new clothing to pass as a middle-class girl, and Fagin strips Oliver of all his upper-class credibility when he takes from him the suit of clothes purchased by Brownlow. The novel"s resolution revolves around the revelation of the real identities of Oliver, Rose, and Monks. Only when every character"s identity is known with certainty does the story achieve real closure.Hidden Family Relationships The revelation of Oliver"s familial ties is among the novel"s most unlikely plot turns: Oliver is related to Brownlow, who was married to his father"s sister; to Rose, who is his aunt; and to Monks, who is his half-brother. The coincidences involved in these facts are quite unbelievable and represent the novel"s rejection of realism in favor of fantasy. Oliver is at first believed to be an orphan without parents or relatives, a position that would, in that time and place, almost certainly seal his doom. Yet, by the end of the novel, it is revealed that he has more relatives than just about anyone else in the novel. This reversal of his fortunes strongly resembles the fulfillment of a naïve child"s wish. It also suggests the mystical binding power of family relationships. Brownlow and Rose take to Oliver immediately, even though he is implicated in an attempted robbery of Rose"s house, while Monks recognizes Oliver the instant he sees him on the street. The influence of blood ties, it seems, can be felt even before anyone knows those ties exist.Surrogate Families Before Oliver finds his real family, a number of individuals serve him as substitue parents, mostly with very limited success. Mrs. Mann and Mr. Bumble are surrogate parents, albeit horribly negligent ones, for the vast numbers of orphans under their care. Mr. Sowerberry and his wife, while far from ideal, are much more serviceable parent figures to Oliver, and one can even imagine that Oliver might have grown up to be a productive citizen under their care. Interestingly, it is the mention of his real mother that leads to Oliver"s voluntary abandonment of the Sowerberrys. The most provocative of the novel"s mock family structures is the unit formed by Fagin and his young charges. Fagin provides for and trains his wards nearly as well as a father might, and he inspires enough loyalty in them that they stick around even after they are grown. But these quasi-familial relationships are built primarily around exploitation and not out of true concern or selfless interest. Oddly enough, the only satisfactory surrogate parents Oliver finds are Brownlow and Rose, both of whom turn out to be actual relatives.Oliver"s Face Oliver"s face is singled out for special attention at multiple points in the novel. Mr. Sowerberry, Charley Bates, and Toby Crackit all comment on its particular appeal, and its resemblance to the portrait of Agnes Fleming provides the first clue to Oliver"s identity. The power of Oliver"s physiognomy, combined with the facts that Fagin is hideous and Rose is beautiful, suggests that in the world of the novel, external appearance usually gives a fair impression of a person"s inner character.Symbols Symbols are objects, characters, figures, or colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts.Characters" Names The names of characters represent personal qualities. Oliver Twist himself is the most obvious example. The name “Twist,” though given by accident, alludes to the outrageous reversals of fortune that he will experience. Rose Maylie"s name echoes her association with flowers and springtime, youth and beauty. Toby Crackit"s name is a lighthearted reference to his chosen profession of breaking into houses. Mr. Bumble"s name connotes his bumbling arrogance; Mrs. Mann"s, her lack of maternal instinct; and Mr. Grimwig"s, his superficial grimness that can be removed as easily as a wig.Bull"s-eye Bill Sikes"s dog, Bull"s-eye, has “faults of temper in common with his owner” and is a symbolic emblem of his owner"s character. The dog"s viciousness reflects and represents Sikes"s own animal-like brutality. After Sikes murders Nancy, Bull"s-eye comes to represent Sikes"s guilt. The dog leaves bloody footprints on the floor of the room where the murder is committed. Not long after, Sikes becomes desperate to get rid of the dog, convinced that the dog"s presence will give him away. Yet, just as Sikes cannot shake off his guilt, he cannot shake off Bull"s-eye, who arrives at the house of Sikes"s demise before Sikes himself does. Bull"s-eye"s name also conjures up the image of Nancy"s eyes, which haunts Sikes until the bitter end and eventually causes him to hang himself accidentally.London Bridge Nancy"s decision to meet Brownlow and Rose on London Bridge reveals the symbolic aspect of this bridge in Oliver Twist. Bridges exist to link two places that would otherwise be separated by an uncrossable chasm. The meeting on London Bridge represents the collision of two worlds unlikely ever to come into contact—the idyllic world of Brownlow and Rose, and the atmosphere of degradation in which Nancy lives. On the bridge, Nancy is given the chance to cross over to the better way of life that the others represent, but she rejects that opportunity, and by the time the three have all left the bridge, that possibility has vanished forever.
