It is true, then, that there was too muchfoundation for the representations of those satirists and dramatists who heldup the character of the English Nabob to the derision and hatred of a formergeneration. It is true that some disgraceful intrigues, some unjust and cruelwars, some instances of odious perfidy and avarice, stain the annals of ourEastern Empire. It is true that the duties of government and legislation werelong wholly neglected or carelessly performed. It is true that when theconquerors at length began to apply themselves in earnest to the discharge oftheir high functions, they committed the errors natural to rulers who were butimperfectly acquainted with the language and manners of their subjects. It istrue that some plans, which were dictated by the purest and most benevolentfeelings, have not been attended by the desired success. It is true that Indiasuffers to this day from a heavy burden of taxation and from a defective systemof law. It is true, I fear, that in those states which are connected with us bysubsidiary alliance, all the evils of oriental despotism have too frequentlyshown themselves in their most loathsome and destructive form.

[But nowadays its affairs are much improved, and still improving]

[7a] All this is true. Yet in the historyand in the present state of our Indian Empire I see ample reason for exultationand for a good hope.

[7b] I see that we have established orderwhere we found confusion. I see that the petty dynasties which were generatedby the corruption of the great Mahometan Empire, and which, a century ago, keptall India in constant agitation, have been quelled by one overwhelming power. Isee that the predatory tribes, which, in the middle of the last century, passedannually over the harvests of India with the destructive rapidity of ahurricane, have quailed before the valour of a braver and sterner race, havebeen vanquished, scattered, hunted to their strongholds, and either extirpatedby the English sword, or compelled to exchange the pursuits of rapine for thoseof industry.

[7c] I look back for many years; and I seescarcely a trace of the vices which blemished the splendid fame of the firstconquerors of Bengal. I see peace studiously preserved. I see faith inviolablymaintained towards feeble and dependent states. I see confidence graduallyinfused into the minds of suspicious neighbours. I see the horrors of warmitigated by the chivalrous and Christian spirit of Europe. I see examples ofmoderation and clemency, such as I should seek in vain in the annals of anyother victorious and dominant nation. I see captive tyrants, whose treacheryand cruelty might have excused a severe retribution, living in security,comfort, and dignity, under the protection of the government which theylaboured to destroy.

[7d] I see a large body of civil andmilitary functionaries resembling in nothing but capacity and valour thoseadventurers who, seventy years ago, came hither, laden with wealth and infamy,to parade before our fathers the plundered treasures of Bengal and Tanjore. Ireflect with pride that to the doubtful splendour which surrounds the memory ofHastings and of Clive, we can oppose the spotless glory of Elphinstone andMunro. I contemplate with reverence and delight the honourable poverty which isthe evidence of rectitude firmly maintained amidst strong temptations. Irejoice to see my countrymen, after ruling millions of subjects, aftercommanding victorious armies, after dictating terms of peace at the gates ofhostile capitals, after administering the revenues of great provinces, afterjudging the causes of wealthy Zemindars, after residing at the courts oftributary Kings, return to their native land with no more than a decentcompetence.

文章概述

p1主要采取先抑后扬的手段:

第一段讲印度的政府职责缺失,之前外来的统治不适合印度的风土人情,印度人民被课以重税。

第二段画风一转,说其实印度未来还是有希望;

第三段继续讲之前印度人民被侵略被统治,但是英国帮助其逃脱;

第四段讲现在的政府虽然有犯一些错,但是还是为人民着想;

p2:

第一段文章直接说 British ruined our country,认为英国只是利用来华丽的外衣来包装其私欲,采用愚民手段来麻痹印度人民。作者呼吁:应该认清事实,权利应该掌握在自己的手上。

考试题目

1.问的是p1文章的main focus 是如何转移的。需要通读全文才能解题,但是题目难度不大:只要抓住段落大意和文章的逻辑词,就能解题:文章先抑后扬,先说印度政治状况混乱,后提到政府其实取得了较好成果。

2.问原文何处支撑了“British unified India” 难度不大,只要将四个选项带入。就会发现原文有一句:(i see…dependent states)

3.词汇题:attend 和哪个词意思接近:frequented / maintain/replaced/accompanied

4.词汇题:charge 和哪个词意思接近:care/invasion/accusation/expense/

5.问第二篇的段落大意:文章主旨体现非常清晰鲜明:the British ruined our country

6.问印度人民对英国统治最初的态度:原文第二篇第3-5句话直接提现:supried ,即一开始认为英国是for their good,为他们着想。

7.问英国是用何种方式来巩固它们在印度的统治?答案在文章第二段:通过愚民手段:fooled

ignorance,blindness

8.词汇题:business 和以下哪个词意思接近:objectives/likehood/movement

9.问p2作者会如何看待p1作者所说的英国帮助实现印度国内的稳定性:p2作者立场鲜明,反对p1作者,认为只有权利在本国人手中才能实现稳定。

10.问p2作者如何看p1作者所说的“some plan” 难度不大:作者立场很容易看出,reject 作者在第二段认为英国是利用华丽的外衣来实现一国私欲。

11.上题循证题
