12、锁, 追求自由、同等和博爱。这种社会趋势, 特殊是法 国大革命, 给了他极大的启发。贝多芬的音乐特别主动向上、热忱激扬、气概磅礴。他的音 乐作品有的赞美英雄主义, 有的表达对自然的酷爱之情, 还有的歌颂人与人之间的融洽情 感。和贝多芬一样, 列侬的音乐也展示了他生活的那个时代。20 世纪60 年头与70 年头, 美国社会上出现的卑视与不公正现象剧烈地打击了青年们, 他们都期望建立新的社会。列 侬的歌曲大多表达了青年的这种思想。他在一首名为想象的歌曲中唱道,“ 想象全人类 都生活在和平之中”,“ 世界大同”。这些歌词表达了他的反战心情以及对和平的憧憬之 情, 并反射出上世纪60 和70 年头的时

13、代精神。在 肯定程度上, 两人都是社会的叛逆者。他们拒绝向社会习俗和权势低头。贝多芬是 个忠实的共和党人。拿破仑当权时曾宣称自己是共和制的捍卫者, 贝多芬特别敬佩他, 就 把歌颂英雄主义的作品第三交响曲献给了他。但是不久, 拿破仑就加冕称帝了。贝多 芬异样生气, 不顾可能遭遇的迫 害, 公开宣布收回对拿破仑的赞扬。列侬因支持青年运动 也被当权者认定是捣乱分子, 甚至一度遭到封 杀, 可他却依旧不顾一切地坚持自己的信仰。阅读导评我国闻名音乐家冼星海说过:“音乐是人生最大的欢乐, 音乐是生活中的一股清泉, 音 乐是陶冶性情的熔炉。”贝多芬和列侬不仅体验到了这种欢乐, 还从中获得了一种促使他们 前进

14、的精神力气。为了更好地生活, 我们也当悉心倾听音乐。倾听音乐才能更好地领悟音 乐。能够领悟音乐的人, 才能从一切世俗的苦恼中超脱出来, 才能更好地驾驭生活, 才能成 为生活的主子。阅读导释1. 路德维希冯贝多芬( 17701827) , 德国作曲家, 毕生追求“ 自由、同等、博爱”的理 想, 其创作集西方古典乐派之大成, 开浪漫乐派之先河, 对后世西洋音乐的发展有深远影 响。贝多芬被后人尊称为“ 乐圣”, 其主要作品有英雄、命运、田园等交响乐9部,悲怆、月光、暴风雨等钢琴奏鸣曲32 部及弦乐四重奏17 部。文章中提及的 symphony no. 3 即第三交响曲, 作品原来准备题献给贝多芬心目

15、中的英雄拿破仑, 但 当他听说拿破仑称帝, 便划掉了献词。共和主义原则使他义愤填膺, 于是把题词改为 “ 为了纪念一位伟人”。2. 约翰列侬( 19401980) ,“ 披头士”( beatles) 乐队主要代表人物, 被称为“ 摇滚之父”。 大家所熟识的歌曲黄 色潜水艇与昨天均出自该乐队。这支乐队属于先锋派, 他们比 较狂热与敏感, 是和平的忠实捍卫者。1980 年12 月8 日, 列侬在自己曼哈顿公寓的门口, 被一名疯狂的歌迷枪杀。文章中提到的想象表达了列侬呼喊和平常代到来的思想。3. shackle 原意是“镣铐, 手 铐, 脚镣”, 常比方为“ 枷锁, 桎梏, 束 缚”, 这里就取此词

16、的比方 义。feudalism 意思是“封建主义, 封建制度”, 与前文中的capitalism, 即“ 资本主义, 资本 主义制度”是相对而言的。4. 这个词的意思是“ 颂扬, 赞扬, 赞美”, 是个美化用语的动词, 如: extol ones merits ( 称颂 某人的功绩) ; extol one to the skies ( 把某人捧上天) 。5. 这里指的是通常所说的拿破仑一世( 17691821) , 法兰西第一帝国和百日王朝皇帝。 1804 年, 拿破仑发动雾月18 日政变, 自任第一执政。他称帝后颁布的拿破仑法典对 后世有着重要影响。他在位时连年对外用兵, 滑铁卢战役惨败后被流放到圣赫勒拿岛。 今日所说的短语meet ones waterloo ( 惨遭失败) 即来源于此。6. 该词原本指“皇 冠, 桂冠”, 这里用作动词, 意思是“ 为⋯⋯ 加冕, 立⋯⋯为君王”, 还有 “ 给⋯⋯戴( 花冠) , 授⋯⋯以荣誉”的意思, 如: the emperor crowned the victor with laurel. ( 国王授予成功者以桂冠。) 词组the crown of the year 则指“收获季节, 秋季”。2018年12月高校英语六级阅读精练50篇汇总
