❶ 《阿甘正傳》中的美國文化,我要與之相關的英文資料
歷史敘事與美國文化
HISTORICAL NARRATIVES envelop us everywhere--at home, at church, at the movies; in the buildings we inhabit, the parks we visit, the stamps we lick; in the days we take off from work, the newspapers we read, and the six-o'clock news we receive from Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and Dan Rather. By the time young people reach their eighteenth birthday in our culture, they possess a rich narrative of origins--how the United States came into being, the roots of the race issue that divides American society, something about Pilgrims, colonists, and settlers. In terms of impact and influence, no algebra or French teacher can compete with such famous history teachers as Steven Spielberg or Oliver Stone, whose devoted students number in multiples of millions.
Each of us grows up in a home with a distinct history and a distinct perspective on the meaning of larger historical events. Our parents' stories shape our historical consciousness, as do the stories of the ethnic, racial, and religious groups that number us as members. We attend churches, bs, and neighborhood associations that further mold our collective and indivial historical selves. We visit museums. We travel to national landmarks in the summer. We camp out in front of the TV and absorb, often unknowingly, an unending barrage of historical images. By the time children have celebrated a decade of Thanksgivings and Martin Luther King Days, they are already seasoned students of American culture and history.
But the notion that all these sources form a coherent whole mocks the complexity of social life. Historical consciousness does not emanate like neat concentric circles from the indivial to the family to the nation and to the world. Lessons learned at home contravene those learned at school. What we hear at school conflicts with what we hear at church or synagogue--if not in the pews then certainly in the bathrooms. If we pay attention to the lyrics of rap music or tune our dials to Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern, we confront more disjunctures. To make historical sense, we must navigate the shoals of the competing narratives that vie for our allegiance.

❹ 美國電影美國文化的介紹
《美國電影美國文化(第2版)》是美國高等院校影視文化課程重點教材,以「新電影歷史」理念為根本,探究美國電影與美國文化之間密不可分的關系,揭示了「好萊塢」作為一種社會機制植根於美國社會的現象。
❺ 《阿甘正傳》反應了什麼美國文化最好是英文的
雖然此片人氣非常高,但並不是人見人愛,尤其是美國之外的地區對其有各種批評。在一些認為美國人天真、無知、幼稚的地區(比如歐洲),很多人覺得這部電影過分贊揚「無知便是福」的人生觀,將殘酷的真實生活解決得過於簡單。很多影評人也指岀,阿甘雖然堅強、單純,但他從來沒有自己主動選擇過人生道路,不曾自己獨立思索,從小就是別人告訴他應該如何生活、工作、打仗;相反,在小說原著里的思想獨立、敢於抗爭、奮力爭取自由的珍妮卻被寫得失魂落魄最後去世。
基於小說阿甘正傳的電影,都是圍繞主角阿甘而展開的故事,但電影更側重於小說的開始11章,改變了成立阿布·阿甘養蝦公司、最後成為流浪街頭的大富翁的結局。更沒有提到中間阿甘當太空人,落到食人部落中生活,跟猩猩成為好友,成為國際象棋以及摔跤明星的過程。而阿甘的女友珍也沒有因絕症(AIDS) 而死去,而是在懷孕後當上了護士,在阿甘流浪街頭的時候還見到了他智商超群的兒子小阿甘。阿甘在中國的經歷也被大大簡化,完全沒有幽默的劇情。
然而電影卻增加了一些劇情,例如給他的腿裝了支架以及後來跑遍全美國的事情。阿甘的核心特徵和性格也在電影中被改變,小說中阿甘總不能如己所願卻有出人意料的福氣,而且大智若愚才華橫溢,視財富為糞土,崇尚自由主義;而電影中的阿甘更顯得有堅持不懈精神,終獲成功,甚至頗有組織能力。有報道稱原作者Groom曾為此改變而表示厭煩。

❽ 用英文介紹美國文化
American culture
The main content of American culture is the emphasize on indivials' value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(開拓, 經營) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is indivialism: self first, personal need first, pursue of indivial benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving indivial value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized indivialism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.
egocentric: .自我中心的, 利己主義的
American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise success and heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Success is the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that one's personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The process and result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to ecate their children.
incentive: Serving to ince or motivate:
American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public ecation, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social class and make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".
advocation:(=advocacy)擁護;支持
美國文化的主要內容是強調個人價值,追求民主自由,崇尚開拓和競爭,講求理性和實用,其核心是個人中心主義:個人至上、私慾至上、追求個人利益和個人享受,強調通過個人奮斗、個人自我設計,追求個人價值的最終實現。這種刻意塑造自我,追求個性化的個人主義有其積極的一面,也有消極的一面。它調動了個人的積極性,使許多人的智慧和潛力得以充分發揮,從而促進整個民族與國家的振興和發展。然而,人人以我為中心,人際關系就難以融洽,整個社會也會缺乏凝聚力。
美國公眾注重成就,仰慕英雄,有深厚的成就崇拜和英雄崇拜的心理積淀。個人成就是所有美國人價值觀中評價最高的價值之一。美國人有很強的成就(或成功)意識。成功是所有美國人的追求,是誘人的前景,前進的動力。他們堅信,一個人的價值就等於他在事業上的成就。一些事業有成的企業家、科學家、藝術家和各類明星,成了新時代的英雄。他們個人奮斗的過程和結果,成了社會文化價值取向的參照系,父母教育子女的活教材。
美國是流動性很大的社會。這種流動體現在兩個方面:地域性流動和社會性流動。美國相對的開放自由、發達的交通和冒險好動的傳統使許多美國人從鄉村流到城市,又從市中心流向郊區;從北方流到南方陽光地帶,從一個城市流到另一個城市。美國社會階級不像歐洲國家那樣固定,加上公共教育的普及,使沿著社會階梯向上流動成為可能。許多生活在美國的人,無論是土生土長的美國人,還是漂洋過海來到美國的外國移民,都有一個夢,即通過自己的努力,改變自己的社會地位,實現自己的人生夢想,這就是人們常津津樂道的「美國夢」。
