高三英语高考专题阅读欣赏（人物传记篇） 伟大的文学家鲁迅素材 北师大版

高考英语专题阅读：Lu XunLu Xun Father of Modern Chinese Literature I much love literature and to find out about a literary giant that I'd never heard of was like finding lost gold. Lu Xun's writings aren't readily available in English, no major American or British publishing house distributes them, but I am lucky to live in the San Gabriel Valley of California and I found a good bookstore that had an English section. They had the True Story of Ah Q （阿Q 正传）and other works by Lu Xun. I know that reading Lu Xun in English translation is like looking at a bit mapped black and white image of a great painting, but still I am able to tell that Lu Xun produced great literature. Lu Xun (or Lu Hsün) is called the father of modern Chinese literature. His first story "A Madman's Diary"（狂人日记） is considered the first story written in Modern Chinese. The classic Chinese literature by Lao Zi (or Lao Tze) and Confucius for example were written in literary Chinese which is different than the language spoken by everyday folks. Any scholar worth his salt would have written in this literary style. Lu Xun chose to begin writing the way people talk. At the same time though, he was well educated and learned and, I am told, used the language very colorfully and had a large vocabulary. In no way can what he did be considered "a dumbing down". 用心 爱心 专心
