通過林肯的演講稿學(xué)習(xí)英語

　　好像英語的學(xué)習(xí)從來都沒有明確的界限，老師提醒你，即便是考研英語這樣的考試，里面的題材也是五花八門，生活，科學(xué)，社會，教育，歷史，人文，經(jīng)濟(jì)，法律等等都會出現(xiàn)在我們的文章里�？墒菍τ诤芏嗟膶W(xué)生來講，知識面狹窄，很多常識性的東西不了解，很多本應(yīng)該是我們這個年齡段懂得東西卻不知道如何去獲取和學(xué)習(xí)。所以發(fā)現(xiàn)原來考研英語好難，想得高分真心很難。但是我想說的是，其實(shí)只要你克服一下自己對英語的一種心理上的態(tài)度的問題，那么很多東西都可以解決。并且要開始實(shí)踐在平日的一些瑣碎的零散的時間內(nèi)，堅持英語的學(xué)習(xí)，哪怕是碎片式的學(xué)習(xí)，也是極其有幫助的。

　　今天，就給大家展示一篇林肯的著名演講，大家在欣賞他的語言力量之美的同時，再來學(xué)習(xí)一些和考研英語相關(guān)的東西，發(fā)現(xiàn)就不會特別的枯燥和乏味。并且當(dāng)有一天老師上課的時候問你說到演講的時候，你就可以很傲嬌的發(fā)現(xiàn)自己了解是多么快樂的一件事情。嘗試每天做一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，日積月累的效果自然就會帶給你最大的回報了。

　　Gettysburg Address  Abraham Lincoln Delivered on the 19th Day of November, 1983

　　Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought fourth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

　　Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

　　But, in a large sense, we can not dedicatewe can not consecratewe can not hallowthis ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor ling remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

　　It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated there to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usthat from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--- and that government of the people. By the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

　　在考研英語閱讀當(dāng)中有很多與美國歷史相關(guān)的東西，所以老師也一再強(qiáng)調(diào)希望大家在下面可以自行了解下一些簡單的歷史甚至是地理情況。不僅可以擴(kuò)展知識面，還可以更好地理解文章。所以在這里就列出了林肯的這篇著名的葛底斯堡演講。在這短小有力的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)中，去領(lǐng)會語言的魅力，其實(shí)如果認(rèn)真探究，還可以找到很多考研的詞匯，用法，以及好的句子，句型積累以便日后的作文寫作。
