王予立 ：“You couldn’t light it, but there was something inside that looked like oil and moved when you shook it.”And so is our Else, she may not be lighted, or be approved by others, but there is something inside her and she is now ready for lighting, I guess.(The Dolls’ House)

何澍之 ：In fact, the mother is not as cold as she seems like, and the author also mentioned that “What a lovely mother to have”. So the tension between “movement” and “stillness” is first manifested in the fact that anyone cannot completely exclude emotion. The courage of Mrs. Dickinson is a practical attitude and a forced choice.(Tears, Idle Tears)

杨希希 ：There is an important sentence to understand the turnaround of Elizabeth, “She was a mother — but how awful she knew it now to have been a wife.” That is to say, she denies her identity as a wife, but confirms her identity as a mother. At the end of this novel, Elizabeth goes about making the kitchen tidy, it means that her life will return to normal and she will try her best to look after her children well.(Odour of Chrysanthemums)

Trudi老师讲授英国文学

古典学讲座

18日上午，剑桥大学希腊文学讲师Fran Middleton在题为“Love of Books and Fear of Books in Ancient Greek and Roman Literature”的讲座中别开生面地与我们分享了古代作家对于书籍的不同态度：爱书和恨书，并与同学们热切讨论了这些态度在现代的回响，由此激发了同学们对于研读经典著作之意义的进一步思考。下午，剑桥大学列文蒂斯希腊文化教授Tim Whitmarsh带来了题为“Novels in Ancient World”的讲座，集中在希腊小说这一题材上，一方面为同学们讲解了希腊人对于Love的态度，另一方面又指出希腊小说的主题、情节等等在西方现代小说中的反映，出人意料地建立起了古今文学之间的关联，并由此激发同学们进一步去思考古典与现代的关系问题。
