第一篇 精读笔记【人文科学-影视】Does it matter if “The Crown” fictionalises reality?It is more truthful than the story the royals sold
主旨:
英国政府和王室对奈⻜电视剧《王冠》很不满,但相⽐较其中反映的情形,真实的境况才更加耐⼈寻味。
结构:
1. 英国文化部长对王冠剧情的抗议
2. 作者反驳:All drama that involves real people is, to some extent, fiction
3. 保守派和皇室奴才们对剧情的不满
4. 作者反驳:that is one of the costs of free speech
5. 作者反驳:最可笑的指控是与事实不符。Yet the monarchy, too, is a purveyor of fiction. 本身温莎家族在媒体面前的形象就是他们塑造的一个人设,和电视剧一样,也不是完全真实的。
6. 讽刺政客的双标:如果要在电视剧的真实性这个问题上装高风亮节的话,还是先看看自己在政治问题上撒了多少谎吧
摘抄:
1. If the monarchy is so vulnerable that a man pretending to be Prince Charles saying mean things to a woman pretending to be his wife damages it gravely, then the institution has probably outlived its usefulness.
2. Famous people are often portrayed in ways they do not like, but that is one of the costs of free speech.

humiliate 羞辱
smear 弄脏;诽谤
traduce 诋毁
monarch 君主
decently 体面地

第二篇 精读笔记【人文科学-艺术】Anna Wetherill Olmsted and the Ceramic National exhibitions in 1930s USA 主旨:
探讨Anna Olmsted在美国陶瓷界名气起起伏伏的原因
段意:
开篇奠定基调:AO在美国陶瓷界名气起起伏伏,高峰期是在1950s左右。但她在陶瓷界的名气毋庸置疑,举世无双/none in the world 探讨1989年陶瓷展AO名气下降的原因: 1)mainstream是named subject、creative的作品; 2)AO并不以ceramicist形象示人,而是作为策展人; 3)AO并不会自我推销,都找不到什么照片证明她参加过,且这些展览在1972年就被取消了,creative centre of US ceramics搬去了California 总结:Retrospectively, it can be seen that Olmsted’s fluctuating reputation went hand in hand with changing priorities in American ceramics. 个人的成功与否与社会大环境实际上是息息相关的。
摘抄:
1. She was neither judge nor juror of the exhibitions, and nor are there any photographs representing her as a professional participating in them, whereas there are numerous photographs of Cowan and Atherton.
2. Retrospectively, it can be seen that Olmsted’s fluctuating reputation went hand in hand with changing priorities in American ceramics.

第三篇 精听笔记 【人文科学-人际】An essay on the importance of interracial friendships 主旨: 一项研究显示,社交媒体带来的影响主要是负面的,包括错误信息的传播、仇恨言论,以及只听你赞同的人说话。如何才能真正把这些负面的声音隔开呢?一种方法:交一个新朋友,作家CP分享了自己对跨种族友谊重要性的看法。她告诉读者,结交新朋友很困难,与另一个种族做朋友就更难了,因为彼此没有共同的经历。但多样化的社交圈是不会从天而降的,需要付出行动和相互理解。
词汇: camaraderie 友情; interracial 人种间的
