總體分析
本文節(jié)選自TheEconomist《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》2015.05.23一篇題為YouAreNotSpecial:HowtoGetFromNarcissismtoThoughtfulness(你并不特別:如何從自戀到深思)的書(shū)評(píng)文章。作者介紹了大衛(wèi)·布魯克斯《品格之路》一書(shū)主要觀點(diǎn)并予以評(píng)價(jià)。本文主要亮點(diǎn)有:①話題易引起共鳴;②探究流行文化中容易促使人們變得自戀的因素具有警戒意義;③全篇結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,論據(jù)豐富,按照“介紹書(shū)中指出的當(dāng)前不良現(xiàn)象‘人們過(guò)于關(guān)注自我’(第一段)——介紹書(shū)中對(duì)現(xiàn)象成因的說(shuō)明‘流行文化乃主要原因’(第二段)——介紹書(shū)中主張‘樹(shù)立道德價(jià)值觀、自我克制’(第三、四段)——集中評(píng)價(jià)該書(shū)(第五段)”的脈絡(luò)展開(kāi)論述。
語(yǔ)篇分析
Ⅰ介紹專欄作家DavidBrooks的觀點(diǎn):如今的美國(guó)人太自以為是。首先直接提出DavidBrooks觀點(diǎn)“人們太自以為是”并例舉“橄欖球球星JoeNamath對(duì)鏡自我陶醉”佐證。然后進(jìn)一步指出自高自大的不止是名人,如今美國(guó)青少年認(rèn)為自己“非常重要”的人數(shù)比例大幅攀升。最后指出這種自我關(guān)注的提升帶來(lái)了人們對(duì)出名的渴望。主要邏輯銜接是:①首句開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山提出DavidBrooks其人其觀點(diǎn),toofullofthemselves點(diǎn)出Brooks的批判態(tài)度——人們太自命不凡;第二句援引人物事例予以說(shuō)明,球星對(duì)自己所言You’rethemostbeautifulthingintheworld體現(xiàn)了其自負(fù)狂妄,證實(shí)peoplearetoofullofthemselves。②第三句過(guò)渡,以Butitisnotjustcelebrities...notjustanecdotal引發(fā)轉(zhuǎn)折遞進(jìn)、將“自大的人”由“關(guān)于名人的傳聞”擴(kuò)展至“普通民眾中真實(shí)存在的情形”。其中celebrities回指JoeNamath;puffthemselvesup呼應(yīng)aretoofullofthemselves。第四句則以數(shù)據(jù)縱比證實(shí)當(dāng)前情形:美國(guó)青少年太自以為是(believethemselvestobe
