    • 在西方社会里, 不是只要是女士, 年龄都不可以随便问。 其实, 你如果看对方是个小不点,或是十几二十岁, 问问年龄是没有关系的。 在老美看来,十几岁, 二十出头可是风华正茂的人生黄金时期,所以大胆地问。

  • Classical Archaeology of Ancient Greece and Rome on 2008-04-24
    • One of the joys of archaeology is that history comes alive in very specific, personal ways, through glimpses at the lives of real people
    • But through archaeology, that civilization is coming into sharper focus, as we reconstruct the past and see it in all its color: in its ideals, aspirations, achievements, and virtues; and also in its vices, superstitions, disasters, and crimes. "We need to take the good with the bad, because only then can we really understand all that they have to tell us—not just about themselves, but about ourselves, too."

  • Explanation for Quotation #4 on 2008-04-22
    • These lines are important partially
      because they offer humorous commentary on the theme of dreams throughout
      the play but also because they crystallize much of what is so lovable
      and amusing about Bottom. His overabundant self-confidence burbles
      out in his grandiose idea that although no one could possibly understand
      his dream, it is worthy of being immortalized in a poem.
  • Explanation for Quotation #2 on 2008-04-22
    • This is the case, she argues, because “love looks not with
      the eyes, but with the mind”—love depends not on an objective assessment
      of appearance but rather on an individual perception of the beloved.
      These lines prefigure aspects of the play’s examination of love,
      such as Titania’s passion for the ass-headed Bottom, which epitomizes
      the transformation of the “base and vile” into “form and dignity.”
  • SparkNotes: A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Context on 2008-04-22
    • His career bridged the reigns of Elizabeth
      I (ruled 15581603) and
      James I (ruled 16031625),
      and he was a favorite of both monarchs. Indeed, James granted Shakespeare’s
      company the greatest possible compliment by bestowing upon
      its members the title of King’s Men
    • A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one
      of his strangest and most delightful creations, and it marks a departure from
      his earlier works
