2.Comments(赏析)
(1)The Autobiography was probably the first of its kind in literature.It is the simple yet immenly fascinating record of a man rising to wealth and fame from a state of poverty and obscurity into which he was born,the faithful account of the colorful career of America’s first lf-made man.He repr
ented in America all its ideas,that man is basically good and free by nature,endowed by God with certain inalienable rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Through telling a success story of lf-reliance,the book celebrates the fulfillment of the American dream.
誊写的近义词(2)The Autobiography is also an eloquent elucidation of the fact that Franklin was spokesman for the new order of eighteenth-century enlightenment.It is also a Puritan document.It is a record of lf-examination and lf-improvement.The book is also a convincing illustration of the Puritan ethic that,in order to get on in the world,one has to be industrial,frugal and prudent.
(3)The style of The Autobiography reveals that it is the pattern of Puritan simplicity, directness and concision.
(1)《自传》是自传体文学中的上乘佳作。它简明而极其引人入胜地叙述了富兰克林由穷苦卑微而跃至富有、闻名的故事。它忠实地记录了美国第一位自力更生者光辉灿烂的职业生涯。他代表着在美国,人的本质是善良自由的,拥有上帝赋予的不可剥夺的自由及追求幸福的权利。该书通过讲述自力更生而获取成功的故事,歌颂了美国梦的实现。
阅读简笔画(2)《自传》充分说明了富兰克林是18世纪美国启蒙运动的代言人。这也是一本清教文献。它记录了清教徒的自我反省和自我完善。它也是清教道德原则的最好说明,为了取得成功,人必须勤劳、简
朴、谨慎。(3)《自传》的文体体现出清教徒朴素、直爽、简洁的风格。
