光棍节(Singles Day)的由来
Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled 'Singles Day' on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, read on.
每年的11月11日是“光棍节”。节如其名，这个新鲜的节日是专门为那些还过着单身生活的人们设立的。我在GOOGLE上搜索一下，惊讶地发现中国是世界上唯一一个专门为光棍们设立节日的国家。来一起了解一下这个节日吧~
Origin of Singles Day 节日起源
Betting 打牌
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
故事从四个过着单调生活的单身汉说起。他们没有人结婚，连女朋友都没有，日子过得无精打采，终日打麻将度过。
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the 'four columns' card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
有一天他们打麻将从早上11点打到了晚上11点。奇妙的是，不管谁赢，都赢在了“四条”上。更加巧合的是，这一天正是11月11号。为了纪念这一天，他们给它命名为“光棍节”。
University culture 大学传统
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
篇二：What is literature
Generally, most people have their own ideas of what literature is. When eolling in a literary course at university, you expect that everything on the reading list will be
“literature”. Similarly, you might expect everything by a known author to be literature, even though the quality of that author's work may vary from publication to publication. Perhaps you get an idea just from looking at the cover design on a book whether it is “literary” or “pulp”. Literature then, is a form of demarcation, however fuzzy, based on the premise that all texts are not created equal. Some have or are given more value than others.
Etymologically, literature has to do with letters, the written as opposed to the spoken word, though not everything that is written down is literature. As a classification, it doesn't really have any firm boundary lines. There is recurring agreement amongst theorists though that for a work to be called literature must display excellence in form and style. Something may also be literary by association – that is, because V.S. Naipaul is a literary figure through his novels, his private letters are passed as literature as well.
The common definition of literature, particularly for university courses, is that it covers the major gees of poetry, drama, and novel/fiction. The term also implies literary quality and distinction. This is a fairly basic view of literature because, as mentioned in the
introduction, the meaning of the term has undergone changes, and will no doubt continue to do so. Most contemporary literary histories show a shift from the belles-lettres tradition, which was concerned with finding beauty, an elevated use of language, emotional effects and moral sentiments before something could be called literature.
The three main ways of approaching a definition of literature are relativism, subjectivism and agnosticism. With relativism, there are no value distinctions in literature; anything may be called good literature. Subjectivism, as the term implies, means that all theories of literary value are subjective, and that literary evaluation is a purely personal matter. Agnosticism follows from subjectivism, though it argues that though there may be real distinctions in literary value, our subjective value systems prevent us from knowing anything about the real values.
Definitions of literature change because they describe and clarify a reality, they do not create the reality they describe. Or it may be that definitions tell us what we ought to think literature should be. At a dinner party you would be swiftly corrected if you referred to Mills & Boon as literature. This might occur for two reasons: the common perception of
literature as described by current definitions doesn't include mass-market romance novels; or Mills & Boon might well be literature, but contemporary definitions tell us it shouldn't be. The reason why we learn literature is that it is useful to look at some of the things that literature does. Literature is something that reflects society, makes us think about
ourselves and our society, allows us to enjoy language and beauty, it can be didactic, and it reflects on “the human condition”. It both reflects ideology and changes ideology, just like it follows generic conventions as well as changing them. It has social and political effects. Literature is the creation of another world, a world that we can only see through reading literature.
篇三：What is History
My Understanding of HistoryJasmine Chiu 4G (8)
History is the past, or as Roman philosopher Cicero says, “History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time”. It is a record of important events that ever happened and events that has changed the people’s lives. For example, the Industrial
Revolution in Europe in the 18th century reformed the whole European landscape, bringing great improvements in the economic and technological aspects. It modernized the whole of Europe. That’s a historical event.
History is presented and recorded in many forms. It can be in primary sources or secondary sources, written and non-written. History is around us, from your diary to your history textbook, from the folk song that your grandma taught you to oral memoirs from victims of the war. These are all forms of history.
History is also something that profoundly links to the present, and even the future. What our predecessors had done in the past still affect us(转载自：www.xiaocaOfaNWen.com 小草 范 文 网:光棍节的由来英文). Take the Age of Reason as an example, in the 18th century, there were many Enlightenment ideas generated. These ideas laid the foundation for the universal core values and constitutions, like basic human rights and freedom of speech.
In addition, history serves as moral and academic education to us. Livy, a Roman historian once said that history is a record in which “you can find yourselfyou’re your country both examples and warnings”. History warns us against greed for power, as well as brutality and aggressiveness to others, like Hitler’s and postwar Germany’s consequences after the Nazi frenzy. As well as dictatorship and unfair treatments of social classes lead to rebellions and even riots. After we have learnt of their
catastrophic aftermaths, we canprevent ourselves from committing the same deeds. At the same time, history is the best teacher for strategies and methods. We can adopt some of the methods the people from the past had used. For example, the Roman Republic’s Senate and government structure, as well as the freedom of
speech are still widely adopted in many countries in the world, particularly the West. Therefore history is not just the past, it is also our present and future. The
experiences from the people in the past, are with high educational value, just like the old saying, “experience is the best teacher”.
History’s a study of facts, and behavior of humans. Its nature is to be objective. However, there are biased historians who recorded only one side of the event. Some even distorted the true facts and recorded false history. That’s why history, though
aimed to be objective, often comes out more as government propaganda, and even biographies.
To conclude, I think history is a study of facts and human behavior in the past. History is the best teacher as it is a record of both failures and successes in the past. We can use history as a reference in life. It is around us, presented and recorded in many different forms. Although history is a record of the past, it affects our present-day life and even the future. That’s why, as I understand it, history is an important subject which will help in our lives.
