简介
《现代美国社会与文化》分为两卷共25个单元,每个单元由3~5篇文章组成。全书共选用90多篇文章。.
本书具有以下特点:
一、题材广泛。本书所选文章涉及美国社会与文化的各方面,分为美国史地、人口概况、社会价值观、青年与老年人问题、种族问题、政党的作用和政府官员的选举、法律制度、科学技术与社会发展,社会福利等25个专题。
二、全书除个别篇章由英国人所写外,均由美国人撰写。这些文章是美国人对自己国家的感受和看法,而非其他人对这个国家作出的评价。可以说是一本美国人谈美国的专集。
三、具有一定深度。本书多数文章选自美国出版的社会学、人类学、经济学、历史学等专著。作者大多是从事这些领域研究的专家、学者。因此本书除了给读者提供大量有关美国的一般情况和信息外,同时具有学术研究价值。..
四、语言地道,浅显易懂。本书所选文章虽是原文,但考虑到读者英文水平不一,以及阅读中可能出现的困难,在每个单元之前有汉语简介;对文章中某些专有名词和难点作了汉语注释;并对个别过难过长的段落或句子,在尽量忠实原文的前提下,略作修改和删节。每个单元之后附有英文思考题,以利读者参考。
另外,本书还为读者提供了不少图片资料,以加深读者对内容的了解。
本书可以用作高等院校英语专业高年级美国概况教材,同时也适合具有大专程度英文水平的广大读者自学之用。...
