《鲁滨逊漂流记》作品赏析【英文】
Robinson Crusoe
Daniel Defoe(丹尼尔·笛福) is an En来自glish wr况波iter, the founder of English realisti先束季技精击逐八c novels in the Enlightenment period. They are known as “the 360问答father of En育级侵地告glish novels”. His works are readable, and the main frame is that the protagonist, through his efforts to overcome difficulties by wisdom a岩停误行斯语nd courage, shows the social atmosphere of pursuing 下剧口运市蛋音业果回adventure and advocating personal struggle. His representative work, Robinson Crusoe, created Robinson, a typical 剧反若望识航处移figure who struggled with difficulties.
In England, literature be究验香究较易帮边爱联gan with poe模岩细拉喜别假议境try and drama. In 1719, Robinson Crusoe was the first real novel in England. The hero of Robinson Crusoe is the symbol of the brave adventurer of the bourgeois bourgeois in the budding period of capitalism, and Robinson’s story is adapted to the need of the tide 吃团of the time.
The book takes Robinson’s adventures as a clue 上式满振学夜翻南伤字企about how 山对he is away from 电调声概home, escaping from pirates, landing on the island, how to survive in a bad Island, 女土九and finally how to return to Britain. Robi吧金穿秋温否百眼景客nson Crusoe has used many psychological 菜态descriptio政ns to shape the vivid charac采ter of Robinson, the protagonist. Through a series of psychological descriptions, Robinson’s thought changes were revealed, and his personality characteristics were revealed to a great extent. When Robinson was killed in the sea, he thought, “no doubt, I will never see them again.”
In my eyes, Robinson is not only a successful adventurer, but also a successful businessman. As a successful man, he did have good conditions. He has dreams, perseverance, intelligence and self-reliance; he is brave enough to make decisions and dare to bear consequences; he is optimistic, cheerful and confident. There is no doubt that his psychological quality is high and his psychological endurance is very strong, otherwise he will not be able to overcome the strange environment, lonely psychology, and live alone on an uninhabited island for 23 years.

The Merlion
The MerlionThe Merlion was designed as an emblem for the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in 1964. The designer was Mr Fraser Brunner, a member of the souvenir committee and a curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium.
The Merlion has a lion head and a fish body resting on a crest of waves. The lion head symbolises the legend of the rediscovery of Singapura, as recorded in the "Malay Annals". In ancient times, Singapore was known as Temasek, a Javanese word for sea. In the 11th century A.D, Prince Sang Nila Utama of the Sri Vijaya Empire rediscovered the island. When the Prince first landed on Singapore's shores, he sighted a mystical beast which he later learnt was a lion. The Prince then decided to name the island "Singapura" which in Sanskrit means Lion (Singa) City (Pura). The fish tail of the Merlion symbolises the ancient city of Temasek and represents Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village.
The MerlionThe Merlion statue, measuring 8.6 metres high and weighing 70 tonnes, was built by the late Singapore craftsman, Mr Lim Nang Seng. It is made of cement fondue. A smaller Merlion statue, measuring two metres high and weighing three tonnes was also built by Mr Lim. The body is made of cement fondue, the skin from porcelain plates and eyes from small red teacups.
