N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 2 同年，巴托尔迪组装完雕像的右臂和火炬，并将它们陈列在费城。据说，他用了妻子的手臂为模本，但觉得她的脸太漂亮，不适合做雕像模本。他需要这样一个女人：面容沧桑却不失坚定，庄重多于美丽。他选择了自己的母亲。

Para. 3 1886年，自由女神像在纽约湾北部落成。雕像综合了他母亲的脸和他妻子的身材，不过巴托尔迪称之为“我的女儿，自由之神”。 N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 3 1886年，自由女神像在纽约湾北部落成。雕像综合了他母亲的脸和他妻子的身材，不过巴托尔迪称之为“我的女儿，自由之神”。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 芭比娃娃 Para. 4 在现今销售的各式各样的芭比娃娃之前，原先只有一种芭比娃娃。实际上，她的名字叫芭芭拉。 Para. 5a 芭芭拉·汉德勒是马特尔玩具公司的联合创始人艾略特和鲁思·汉德勒夫妇的女儿。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 5b 鲁思是在见到女儿玩纸娃娃之后才想到做芭比娃娃的。芭比娃娃的三维模特是一个德国洋娃娃，一个哄成年人开心的礼物，被描绘成具有“风尘女子”的模样。马特尔公司将这个娃娃做了一番改造，变成了体面而地道的美国版本，尽管胸围有些夸张。它以当时10多岁的少女芭芭拉的名字命名。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 6 自从1959年面世，芭比娃娃 就成了全球公认的“娃娃女王”。 马特尔公司说，一般的美国女孩 拥有10个芭比娃娃，全球每秒钟 就有两个芭比娃娃售出。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 《美国哥特人》 Para. 9a 1930年，格兰特·伍德因其画作《美国哥特人》一举成名。此画体现了美国农民庄严的自豪，常常被人复制。画面展示了一位神色严肃的男子和一位女子站立在农舍之前。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 野牛镍币 Para. 12 今天，美国的硬币都用来纪念美国政府的杰出人物，其中大部分是著名的前总统。但1913至1938年间发行的野牛镍币，却是为了纪念由美国拓居引起的两起相互关联的悲剧——野牛群的灭绝和美洲印第安人的毁灭。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 13 此前一直是白人被用作美国镍币上的模特，而著名的艺术家詹姆斯·厄尔·弗雷泽却反传统而行之，起用了三名真正的美洲印第安人作为自己创作的原型。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 14 由于大草原上不再有野牛漫步，弗雷泽为了镍币另一面上的野牛，只好到纽约中央公园的动物园里素描一只老野牛。两年后，即1915年，此牛以100美元的价格售出，然后被宰杀取肉、剥皮，牛角制成了墙上的装饰品。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 山姆大叔 Para. 15 美国独立战争时期，14岁的山姆·威尔逊离家出走，加入父亲和哥哥们的行列，为美国殖民地独立于英国而战。23岁时，他开始从事肉类加工业，并因为人诚实、工作勤奋而赢得声誉。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 16a 此后在1812年的战争中，威尔逊获得了一个职位，为美国军队检验肉食。他的合伙人和美国政府签订了一份合同，给军队提供肉食。送到军队的肉桶上面都印有EA-US标志，EA代表公司名，US代表原产国。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 16b 传说有一回，有个政府官员来参观加工厂，问及这些字母的含义，一个想象力丰富的雇员告诉他，“US”是“山姆大叔”威尔逊的缩写。很快，士兵们都说所有的军需品都来自“山姆大叔”。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 17a 战后，政治漫画里开始出现一个名叫“山姆大叔”的人物。他的原型是一个早期漫画人物，名叫乔纳森大哥，此人在美国独立战争时期非常出名。很快，山姆大叔就取代了乔纳森大哥，成了最受美国人欢迎的象征。

N H C E 新视野 大学英语 Para. 17b 最令人难忘的山姆大叔的画像是由画家詹姆斯·蒙哥马利·弗拉格创作的，用在两次世界大战期间他画的很多著名的征兵招贴画上。山姆大叔的形象是：高个子，白头发，下巴上有一小撮白胡子，身着深蓝色外套，头戴一顶高帽，上有星星点缀。这模样其实就是弗拉格的自画像。

N H C E Interactive Mode I Back 3) Peking Opera, though characteristic of Chinese people’s quest for excellence in music and art, it does not meet our given criterion for cultural symbols. 4) NBA (short for the National Basketball Association) is not in line with our criterion here despite the fact that it has already been descriptive of the American culture and popular all over the world. The Statue of Liberty was designed to celebrate US victory in the war of independence, as a tribute to the desire of US people for liberty and freedom. The Monument of the People’s Heroes was dedicated to the lives given for the founding of New China, as a token of the Chinese people’s resolve to abolish the exploiting system. For more

N H C E Interactive Mode II Back The White House and the Imperial Palace in Beijing may be descriptive of architectural styles peculiar to American and Chinese cultures respectively, but it is their special residents that make them typical of both cultures. The White House is a building where every American president in office lives, naturally it stands for the American government, similarly The Forbidden City was once a place where every emperor of Qing Dynasty lived. American Gothic, Compass, and Barbie Doll all shine with people’s inspiration. American Gothic is a painting of inspiration from the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in it make it peculiar to American spirits. The compass is an instrument of inspiration from earth induction, which in turn glows with the Chinese wisdom. And Barbie Doll is the outcome of inspiration from a German doll, but now the refashioned doll has become the queen of all dolls. For more

N H C E Interactive Mode III Back As for the Great Wall, most of us believe it reflects the inspiration and industriousness of our ancestors, but in view of its purpose, some also regard it as a witness to our nation’s self-seclusion and vulnerability. Some cultural symbols serve to remind a nation of her tragedies in history. When it comes to Yuanming Yuan, for instance, we tend to think of Eight-Power Allied Forces and the scars they made on China. Buffalo Nickel bears witness to two tragedies in US history—the destruction of the buffalo herds and the destruction of the American Indians. For more

N H C E Interactive Mode IV Back It is said that times produce their heroes. If so, the greatness of Abraham Lincoln lies in his epoch that gave full play to his talents in abolishing slavery and bringing states into a unity, which in turn proved him to be a symbol of justice and democracy. Uncle Sam was born into the era of American Revolution to liberate America from Britain, thus turning him into a figure of trust, strength, and patriotism. Lei Feng is a hero of times in our culture. In effect, Lei Feng was a mirror of the age when the Chinese people were full of enthusiasm for socialist construction as well as gratitude for their liberty. But the concept of times and heroes has no bearing on the birth of Confucius. Instead, he was such a great philosopher that his school of thought has had great effect on our pattern of seeing things.

N H C E Scripts Back “It’s as American as baseball, hot dogs and apple pie” is commonly used to express that something owes its invention to the United States. But, while very few would dispute baseball’s origin, the claim to hot dogs and apple pie can be argued at length. Here are five more inventions and symbols that are definitely American: the Statue of Liberty, which, though given as a gift from the French, has always symbolized the concept of freedom; the Barbie doll, which has become the queen of all toys; American Gothic, a portrait showing a farmer and his wife; the Buffalo nickel, a tribute to the buffalo and the Native American people who were killed and displaced to make room for European expansion; and finally, the image of Uncle Sam, which represents American resolve, strength, and patriotism. For more

N H C E Watch & Discuss Back The Statue of Liberty stands not only for the most important event in the US history, the War of Independence, but also for the nation’s quest for the spirit of liberty, as the Declaration of Independence goes, “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. That is why the statue is ranked as the first symbol of the American culture.

N H C E Watch & Discuss Back Through patriotic education, young people will know more about the glorious history of our nation, thus building up their sense of pride as Chinese. Moreover, young people will cherish today’s hard-earned life and draw on more of their potentials to make tomorrow’s life better for the sake of our nation. Much to our distress, these years have seen a gross neglect of patriotic education in our society, as a result of more and more weight being attached to the economic effects or the material gains. According to some official reports, many of the national heroes in the Chinese history have given way to pop stars in young people’s minds. In view of the above, there is a great need to inculcate patriotism in the youth of today. For more
