摘要：在乌普萨拉,nation是一种古老而特别的学生文化,很难找到一个相近的词语来表述它。nation类似于同乡会,会提供图书馆等各类资源。记得校长在开学典礼上致辞说,在乌普萨拉大学,相比你的专业,大家可能更关心你来自哪个nation。每个nation都以瑞典的地区命名,最初像同乡会一般,来自同一地方的人会聚到一起,后来则远远超出了这个含义。

摘要：Tennyson＇s poem ＂Boaidicea＂, published in 1864 but at least conceived in 1858, has never been very highly regarded. It is usually omitted from editions of the complete poetical works. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, written in an approximation of Catullan/Callimachan galliambics, it is no easy read. Secondly and more importantly, however, it sits most awkwardly within a huge body of contemporary art -paintings, sculptures, and novels as well as poems which present the （properly） Queen Regent of the Iceni as the spiritual ancestor of Victoria （the Gaelic word boudicca does, after all, men ＂victory＂）. Far from portraying Boadicea （as the name was then commonly spelt from the 18th to themed 20th centuries） as the harbinger of British imperial glory, Tennyson presents her as the half-mad victim of Roman oppression, brutalized by her own experiences into a personal vendetta. I argue that this poem is a riposte to Sir William Thornycroft＇s bronze statue of Boadicea, a symbol of patriotic pride. It was begun at roughly the same time as the poem, both at the behest of Prince Albert; Tennyson would have seen Thornycroft＇s models. In the poem, Tennyson envisions Bo/idicea reducing Colchester and Londonto a red-black stain infested with carrion eaters, and he seems to be asking whether this colour, ironically reflected in the finished statue of the Regent, chariot and horses （she used cavalry and chariots to attack Londinium, after all） is anything like a becoming tribute to Victoria. As for the dating of composition, Tennyson＇s the most likely model for Boaidicea is Lakshmibai, Queen Regent of Jhansi, who, during the Indian Mutiny of late 1857, is reputed to have ordered a massacre of English civilians who were tortured and dismembered in much the same as Boudicca＇s victims. The poem is thus a meditation on the evils inherent in empire building and its effect upon native peoples.

摘要：Due to the popularity of English, English language teaching has taken up an important position in China＇s education. Teachers of English may seldom consider the power behind this widely-used language during the teaching process. This article starts with revealing the power behind language so as to let teachers be aware of the hidden power behind English language and be conscious that English language is not neutral. At the same time, it reminds teachers of English to have a critical attitude on their teaching practice and help students to balance the study of Chinese and English.

摘要：在这次接触中,我们向拉丽莎·桑索尔与陆明龙分别介绍了对方的一项作品——前者的《国家大厦》和后者的《额外升级》,意图让两位艺术家展开对话,对照和比较各自作品中探讨的主题。陆明龙的作品从摩天大楼取材到英国皇家艺术学院（＂不真实的财产＂是指,艺术家以3D游戏的方式虚构了一个中国富豪在未来购买了皇家艺术学院,而游戏中的虚拟空间正是以皇家艺术学院的建筑空间为基础进行设置的）,探讨了通过城市建筑而展现了对基础设施意指的推敲。

摘要：如今,你随手拿起一份报纸或杂志,看看上面有多少广告,就能够断定它的销量如何。《哈泼斯》（Harper＇s）、《国家》（The nation）和《新共和》（The New Republic）,这些杂志上的广告少得可怜。然而,＂翻阅＂（当然是在网上）一份往期的《纽约客》杂志,查阅埃德蒙·威尔逊关于《死海古卷》的论文,你会感受到过去那个时代的自信：几乎一栏文字就配有3页广告。
