About the author - Sir William Gerald Golding(September 19, 1911June 19, 1993)He was an English novelist, poet and winner of Nobel in Literat
9、ure: “for his novels which, wit h the Perspicuity (睿智)of realistic narrative art and the diversity and universality of myth, illuminate the Human condition in the world of today.” His work is characterized by exploration of the darkness of mans heart, deep spiritual and ethical questions. Goldings v
10、iew is pessimistic: human nature is inherently corruptible and wicked. His first novel, Lord of the Flies 蝇王 (1954), dealt with an unsuccessful struggle against barbarism(野蛮主义)and war, thus showing the ambiguity (不确定性) and fragility (脆弱性)of civilization. It has also been said that it is an allegory(
11、 寓言) of World War II. 2. Brief Introduction to the Text The author s use of the word “hobby” is interesting. By using this word he means that thinking is not just for professional thinkers like philosophers. It is something all educated people should enjoy doing. This special interest is often refer
12、red to as “idle curiosity”, and it is considered one of the most precious qualities in young scholars. Students should play with ideas the way they play with balls. Both are important for their healthy development, one mental, and the other physical. The essay can be neatly divided into three parts.
13、 The first part tells us how the subject of thinking was first brought up to the author and how he came to understand the nature of what he calls “grade-three thinking”, which, he discovered, was no thinking at all, but a combination of ignorance, prejudice and hypocrisy. Unfortunately, according to
14、 the author, most people belong to this category. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页,共 9 页 - - - - - - - - - - 4 - The second part deals with “grade-two thinking”. People who belong to this category can detect the contradictions of grade- three thinke
15、rs beliefs. They can see their ignorance, prejudice, hypocrisy and lack of logic, which gives them great delight and satisfies their ego. However, grade-two thinking has nothing constructive to offer. It destroys without the power to create. Therefore the satisfaction it brings the thinker is limite
16、d and does not last. The answer to this lies in the third part in which the author discusses the definition of “grade-one thinkers” people who set out to find the truth and get it. It would be interesting to ask ourselves which of the three categories we belong to, and if, for some reason, we are no
17、t yet grade-one thinkers, whether we have any need or wish to move up to the next grade. The author does not say explicitly what coherent system of thought he has finally developed which makes him a grade-one thinker. But he has given us very broad hints. Obviously his thinking is based on high mora
18、l standards and is opposed to such things as big business, centralized government, wars, armies, heady patriotism, dishonest politicians, etc. which he regards as mere trifles or pointless actions. We can also infer from his sarcastic description of those historical events and political figures wher
19、e he stands in religion and politics. Part II. Questions for Discussion 1. What is this essay talking about? 2. What do the three statuettes symbolize? What effect do the boys descriptions have?3. How did the author describe the following figures to demonstrate his analyses of different grades of th
