9、bing a cover girl you saw in one of the popular magazines, or colors of the rainbow? Or would you consider a soft piece of music or even a romantic poem from a lover? All these can be defined within the concept of beauty but one thing that is clear is, there is no definite definition of beauty.,Part

10、 AText,A popular definition of beauty is that it is a characteristic about something that gives a feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. Therefore for beauty to be understood, it must cause the senses to feel a feeling of joy, pleasure and satisfaction. From this definition, the judge of whats beauti

11、ful is the person who receives or fails to receive the pleasure.,Part AText,How is this definition of physical beauty actually used among human beings? What makes one be considered beautiful and attractive? Is a person considered beautiful necessarily attractive? These are difficult questions which

12、do not have a direct answer. The way the societies we live in view beauty is influenced by many things, for example, cultural factors. In the past, each culture had different criteria upon which they based beauty. There are those cultures that considered plump women to be beautiful. Others considere

13、d small feet to be beautiful. ,Part AText, These have, however, changed a lot in modern times. With the development of technology and human interaction, the differences in cultural preferences have been reduced and we now almost have a standard way of viewing beauty.

14、p fashion houses.

According to many researchers, physical beauty is always improved by a m

15、easure of inner beauty. A person may have all the necessary features to be physically beautiful but without inner warmth, the person will be seen as cold. While outer beauty and appearance is made up of factors like health, youth, skin, etc., defining what inner beauty is depends on characteristics

16、like politeness, intelligence, elegance, personality, etc.,Part AText,Therefore, what we see on the catwalk is not necessarily the true representation of beauty. Human beauty is so rich in variety that we can have no set standards by which to define it and each individual is beautiful in her own way

17、. (419 words),Part AText Translation,人生之美 如果有人走过来要你给“美”下个定义，你会怎么说呢？会开始描述你在某一流行杂志上看到的封面女孩，还是彩虹的颜色？又或者是一曲柔美的乐曲，还是来自情人的一首浪漫诗？所有这些都属于“美”的概念，但有一点很清楚，那就是：对于“美”，人们并没有确切的定义。,Part AText Translation,一种流行的定义是，美是一种能给人愉快感和满意感的东西。所以，美必须要能引起一种喜悦、愉快和满足的感觉才能被人理解。依此定义，对美与不美的判断取决于快乐感的接收方，得看他/她是否获得了快乐。,Part AText Trans

18、lation,人类是如何应用外在美的定义的呢？一个人被认为漂亮、有魅力的根据是什么呢?漂亮的人一定有魅力吗？这些问题都很难直接回答。我们所生活的社会对于美的看法受到了很多因素的影响，比如说文化。在过去，每种文化都有其不同的审美标准。有些文化认为丰满的女人很漂亮，有些则认为小脚很美丽。 ,Part AText Translation, 然而，在现代，这些观念已大大改变。随着技术与人际交往的发展，文化偏好的差异已减弱，现在我们几乎有了一套标准的审美方式。这都极大地受到了顶级时装公司的影响。他们向公众推出来的形象，包括服装、走姿及体形，越来越成为全世界追捧的潮流。,Part AText Transl

19、ation,那么内在美呢？许多研究者表示，审视内在美可以改善外在美。一个人也许具备了外在美的所有要素，但是如果内心不温暖，那也只是个冷漠的人。判断一个人的外在美不美要看他/她的健康、年龄、皮肤等状况如何，而内在美则要看他/她的性格特点，如礼貌、智慧、优雅、个性等。,Part AText Translation,因此，我们在时装表演中所看到的并不一定代表了真正的美。人类之美有很多种，因而没有固定的标准去定义它，每个人都有其独特的美。,v. to say or explain what the meaning of a word or phrase is e.g. Definitions shou

20、ld not be more difficult to understand than the words they define. 词语的定义不应比所解释的词语更难理解。 The powers of a judge are defined by law. 法官的权限是由法律规定的。,Part AText Language Points,n. a typical feature or quality that something/somebody has e.g. The two groups of children have quite different characteristics.

(pl. of criterion) standards or principles by which something is judged, or with the help of which a decision is made e.g. Success in making money is not always a good criterion of success in life. 能挣钱并不一定是衡量人生成功与否的可靠标准。 What are the criteria for dec

23、iding who gets the prize? 评定获奖者的标准是什么?,Part AText Language Points,Part AText Language Points,to use something as grounds, evidence, etc. for something else e.g. I base my hopes on the good news we had yesterday. 我把希望寄托在我们昨天得到的好消息上。 The novel is based on historical facts. 这部小说是以历史事实为根据的。,介词引导的定语从句,1、

24、 在“介词+which/whom”结构中，关系代词用which 还是用whom，取决于它前面的先行词是物还是人。先行词是物，用which；若为人，就用whom。如： (1) Nearby were two ships in which they had come to the island. (2) I cant remember the name of the person to whom I gave the money. 2、这一结构用什么介词取决于先行词的意义和定语从句中谓语动词结构及“介词+which/whom” 在句中的作用。 (1) This is the room in whi

25、ch we lived last year. (2) There were three people from whom we attempted to find out information. 3、 因为含有介词的短语动词一般不拆开，介词仍放在动词的后面。此种情况下关系代词可用which, that, who, whom，或将他们省略。 (1) Is this the book (which/that ) she was looking for?

(2) He has written a book whose name /the name of which Ive completely forgotten. 6、“复杂介词 in front of, at the back of, on the top of, in the middle of 等+ which”结构可引导非限制性定语从句。 (1) He works in a factory, in front of which there is a river.

28、 (2) In the evening we arrived at a hill, at the foot of which there was a temple. 7、“介词+which/whom”结构中的which和 whom不能替换为that，因为that不能做介词宾语。如果用that，介词必须回到从句有关动词的后面去。 (1) The room that/which he lives in is a small one.
