7、r.General PaoliCONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions On Tuesday,March 31,he and I dined at General Paolis.A question was started,whether the state of marriage was natural to man.Johnson,“Sir,it is so far from being natural for a man and woman to live in a state of marriage,tha

8、t we find all the motives which they have for remaining in that connection,and the restraints which civilized society imposes to prevent separation,are hardly sufficient to keep them together.”The General said,that in a state of nature a man and woman uniting together would form a strong and constan

9、t affection,by the mutual pleasure each would receive;and that the same causes of dissension would not arise between them,as occur between husband and wife in a civilized state.Johnson,1CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions“Sir,they would have dissensions enough,though of anot

10、her kind.One would choose to go hunting in this wood,the other in that;one would choose to go fishing in this lake,the other in that;or,perhaps,one would choose to go hunting,when the other would choose to go fishing;and so they would part.Besides,Sir,a savage man and a savage woman meet by chance;a

11、nd when the man sees another woman that pleases him better,he will leave the first.”James Boswell1 CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions The basis of the family is,of course,the fact that parents feel a special kind of affection towards their own children,different from that w

12、hich they feel towards each other or towards other children.It is true that some parents feel little or no parental affection,and it is also true that some women are capable of feeling an affection for children not their own almost as strong as that which they could feel for their own.Nevertheless t

13、he broad fact remains,that parental affection is a special kind of feeling which the normal human being experiences towards his or her own children,but not towards any other human being.This emotion is one which we inherit from our animal ancestors.In this respect Freud2 seems to me not sufficiently

14、2CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsbiological in his outlook,for anyone who will observe an animal mother with her young can see that her behavior towards them follows an entirely different pattern from her behavior towards the male with whom she has sex relations.And this

15、same different and instinctive pattern,though in a modified and less definite form,exists among human beings.If it were not for this special emotion there would be almost nothing to be said for the family as an institution,since children might equally well be left to the care of professionals.As thi

16、ngs are,however,the special affection which parents have for children,provided their instincts are not atrophied,is of value both to the parents themselves and to the children.CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions The value of parental affection to children lies largely in the

17、 fact that it is more reliable than any other affection.Ones friends like one for ones merits,ones lovers for ones charms;if the merits or the charms diminish,friends and lovers may vanish.But it is in times of misfortune that parents are most to be relied upon,in illness,and even in disgrace if the

18、 parents are of the right sort.We all feel pleasure when we are admired for our merits,but most of us are sufficiently modest at heart to feel that such admiration is precarious.Our parents love us because we are their children and this is an unalterable fact,so that we feel more safe with them than

19、 with anyone else.In times of success this may seem unimportant,but in times of failure it affords a consolation and a security not to be found elsewhere.Bertrand Russell3 3CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions Twenty years from now humanity will be in the midst of one of its

20、most painful and difficult social changes.This century will be the last in which families of more than two children can be tolerated;everyone knows this,and the only argument is over the means of achieving the goal4.But there is another aspect of the matter which is seldom given much serious conside

21、ration.The two-child family is not large enough to generate the interactions that develop a good personality;this is why single children are often monsters.Probably the optimum number of siblings is four or five twice the permissible quota.This means that,somehow,several families must be psychologic

22、ally fused together for the health of the child,45CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsand of society.Working out ways of doing this will raise the blood pressure of a whole generation of lawyers and moralists.Arthur C.Clark5 Nobody who has not been in the interior of a family

28、erstand the interior dynamics of a family?3.(3)What is the Chinese saying similar in implication to this quote?KEYSCONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsSuggested points1.For the quote from Boswell Task 1 Husband and wife would please each other in a marriage.Husband and wife w

29、ould not dissent from living together in a marriage.So marriage is a natural condition for man.Task 2 Separation may result from different interest of husband and wife.Separation may result from lack of understanding between husband and wife.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positi

30、ons Separation may result from the change of mind in husband and wife.Task 3 There is an underlying assumption among the three gentlemen in their views on marriage.It must be based on“pleasure”each can give to the other in a harmonious family life.This bond would break up once this connection wears

31、off.This is a typical Western view of marriage.In contrast,the traditional Chinese view of marriage is based on the following considerations:(1)The need to continue the family line(2)The need to maintain social,economical,and political power?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positio

32、ns(3)The need to give pleasure to everyone in the family(4)The need to please each other between husband and wife Encourage Ss to comment on this topic,and elaborate on/continue this list.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsTask 4(for reference)J.Boswell:Do you think that a

33、man and a woman remain together as husband and wife a natural way of life?S.Johnson:I dont think so.There is not enough reason to say that.Nevertheless,we find strong motives in ourselves in our society and the restraints in our culture to do so.General Paoli:But dont you think that a constant conne

34、ction between husband and wife would foster mutual love and reduce dissensions among them?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsS.Johnson:Why!It is highly likely that dissensions may occur between them at any moment.Look,one would choose to go hunting in this wood,but the other

35、 in another;one would choose to go fishing in this lake,but the other in that and so on and so forth.The result is obvious.They will part from each other.Besides,people meet each other by chance.When the man sees another woman that pleases him better,he will leave the first.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENE

36、XTPREVUnderstand different positions2.For the quote from B.Russell Task 1 Parental love for children is the most important element in family life,without which family would be nothing because it is very different from other types of love in human society.Task 2 His argument is based on his observati

37、ons of animal love.This kind of love would remain forever regardless of situation or environment.Nevertheless,love of other type,such as mutual appreciation between friends,or even between man and woman,would be changed as a result of change in environment.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand d

38、ifferent positions Task 3 Parental love is unconditional,and will remain unchanged forever even in the worst conditions of life or death.3.For the quote from A.C.Clark Task 1 The possible response from Ss might be disagreement.Encourage Ss to think about these issues:As the only child in their famil

39、ies,what are the advantages or disadvantages in the family life?Possible advantages:(1)Having sufficient focus(maybe too much sometimes)from parents,grandparents,or even other relatives(2)Having good financial conditions for living(in materials)?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different pos

41、 to comment on or revise the list.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsTask 2 Have Ss discuss the meaning of fuse a few families together psychologically.Discuss this cycles:marriage having children divorce remarriage with children divorce So psychologically people would expe

42、rience multiple marriage and divorce cycles to reach that goal.In the cycle,the moral issues,and also financial issues will be a headache for many lawyers or moralists.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positions4.For the quote from J.AustenTask 1 They are different in that Austen e

43、mphasizes the difference and the dynamic relationships within families while Tolstoy emphasizes all happy families are alike,only unhappy families are unhappy in their unique fashion.Task 2 The interior dynamic relationships are often emotional or psychological,and therefore very difficult to define

44、 or solve.Task 3 Her quote is similar in meaning to the Chinese saying 家家有本难念的经,or 清官难断家务事.?CONTENTCONTENTHOMEHOMENEXTPREVUnderstand different positionsExplaining and translationExplain the following sentences in English and then translate them into Chinese.1.It is so far from being natural for a ma
