2023可選賽題

Anthem組：

1、Ayn Rand once said that chapters XI and XII of?Anthem?contain the real anthem of the story. Consider several different definitions of the word “anthem” and then explain why you think Ayn Rand called the book “Anthem.” In what sense do you think chapters XI and XII (or the book as a whole) is an anthem? How does the book’s title relate to the themes and message of the story? Explain your answer.

艾恩·蘭德 (Ayn Rand) 曾說(shuō)過(guò)，《國(guó)歌》的第十一章和第十二章??包含了故事中真正的國(guó)歌。考慮一下“國(guó)歌”這個(gè)詞的幾種不同定義，然后解釋為什么你認(rèn)為安蘭德將這本書(shū)稱(chēng)為“國(guó)歌”。您認(rèn)為第 XI 章和第 XII 章（或整本書(shū)）在什么意義上是一首國(guó)歌？書(shū)名與故事的主題和信息有何關(guān)聯(lián)？解釋你的答案。

2、For the following statement from?Anthem, explain its role in the story, its relation to the themes and message of the story, and its relevance to your own life: “Indeed you are happy,” they answered. “How else can men be when they live for their brothers?”

對(duì)于Anthem的以下陳述?，請(qǐng)解釋它在故事中的作用、它與故事主題和信息的關(guān)系，以及它與你自己生活的相關(guān)性：“你確實(shí)很幸福，”他們回答道。“當(dāng)男人為兄弟而活時(shí)，他們還能怎樣？”

3、Equality 7-2521 has committed some of the worst crimes there are in his society. If those crimes are discovered, he faces the risk of terrible punishment. Yet in the face of this danger, and despite how much Equality has suffered at the hands of his society, he resolves to bring his invention (and admit his crimes) to the World Council of Scholars. What motivates him to come forward? What does he hope to achieve? If you were Equality’s friend (like International 4-8818) or the person who loves him (like Liberty 5-3000), what would you want him to do, and why? What do you think would be right for him to do, and why?

Equality??7-2521 犯下了他的社會(huì)中一些最嚴(yán)重的罪行。如果這些罪行被發(fā)現(xiàn)，他將面臨受到嚴(yán)厲懲罰的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。然而，面對(duì)這種危險(xiǎn)，盡管平等在他的社會(huì)手中遭受了多少苦難，他還是決心將他的發(fā)明（并承認(rèn)他的罪行）帶到世界學(xué)者委員會(huì)。是什么促使他挺身而出？他希望達(dá)到什么目的？如果你是 Equality 的朋友（如 International 4-8818）或愛(ài)他的人（如 Liberty 5-3000），你希望他做什么，為什么？你認(rèn)為他應(yīng)該做什么，為什么？

The Fountainhead組：

1、Mallory says the following about Roark: “You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. . . . They change, they deny, they contradict—and they call it growth. . . . How do they expect a permanence which they have never held for a single moment? But Howard—one can imagine him existing forever.” Give examples of characters in the novel who change in the way Mallory suggests. In what respects is Roark unchanging through the book? Are there any respects in which his character develops? How do these issues of characterization relate to the theme of the novel?

馬洛里這樣評(píng)價(jià)羅克：“你知道人們多么渴望永恒。但他們隨著每一天的流逝而死去。. . . 他們改變，他們否認(rèn)，他們自相矛盾——他們稱(chēng)之為成長(zhǎng)。. . . 他們?cè)趺茨芷诖环N他們從未擁有過(guò)的永恒呢？但是霍華德——人們可以想象他會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)存在。”?舉例說(shuō)明小說(shuō)中的人物會(huì)按照馬洛里建議的方式發(fā)生變化。整本書(shū)中洛克在哪些方面沒(méi)有改變？他的性格在哪些方面有所發(fā)展？這些人物塑造問(wèn)題與小說(shuō)的主題有什么關(guān)系？

2、Toohey tells Keating the following: “I’m the most selfless man you’ve ever known. I have less independence than you, whom I just forced to sell your soul.” Drawing on Toohey’s own explanation and on his actions in the story, explain your understanding of what Toohey means by this. Does the author agree with Toohey’s assessment of his own motivation? Do you? Explain your answers.

圖希告訴基廷：“我是你所知道的最無(wú)私的人。我的獨(dú)立性不如你，我只是強(qiáng)迫你出賣(mài)了你的靈魂。”?根據(jù) Toohey 自己的解釋和他在故事中的行為，解釋你對(duì) Toohey 的意思的理解。作者是否同意圖希對(duì)自己動(dòng)機(jī)的評(píng)估？你覺(jué)得呢？請(qǐng)解釋你的答案。

3、In?The Fountainhead, we can see how Roark is guided by his own creative vision, whether in the way he develops his skills as an architect, in the terms on which he’ll work for employers, or in the standards he uses for accepting or rejecting new clients. Judging from examples of these aspects of his decisions and actions, do you think he would be a supporter or opponent of free-market capitalism? Explain your answer, being sure to define relevant terms.

在The Fountainhead中，我們可以看到 Roark 如何以他自己的創(chuàng)造性愿景為指導(dǎo)，無(wú)論是在他發(fā)展自己作為建筑師的技能的方式中，在他為雇主工作的條款中，還是在他用于接受或接受的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中。拒絕新客戶。從他的決策和行動(dòng)的這些方面的例子來(lái)看，你認(rèn)為他會(huì)是自由市場(chǎng)資本主義的支持者還是反對(duì)者？解釋你的答案，一定要定義相關(guān)術(shù)語(yǔ)。
