Free template from Unit 8 Five Traits of the Educated Man Pre-reading question What do you think an English gentleman looks like? Gentleman logo A quiet，shy，reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. 像绅士一样生活 译者:李钊平，等 译?? 作者:(英)爱德华·伯曼?? 在书中，伯曼先生不厌其烦地从各个方面去展现绅士的典范特征，比如言行举止、培养方式、餐饮习惯、家园选择和装饰、休闲活动、运动形式、时尚观念、社交场合等，每个话题都从专门讲述；从18世纪到今天，从庄园聚会到俱乐部会员身份、从打高尔夫球的注意事项到汽车选择的标准，从服饰选择到裤脚的理想长度，各个时期绅士的生活方式一览无余，充分体现了一位英国绅士对细节的关注。从这个角度来说，这本书完全算得上是一本标准绅士指南。 Book critics 沉默、平静构成了19世纪英国绅士的主要气质特征，也让他们沉着冷静地走遍了整个世界。今天，我们仍然可以从一些褪色的照片上看到他们的形象：在荒凉的沙漠上，他们盘腿而坐，前面的白色桌布上摆放着简单的午餐(当然还有一瓶酒）；尽管炽热难耐，他们依然着装整齐，系着领带。如果用极其简要的语言概括，绅士的精神气质应该包括骑士般的勇气，服务公众的道德意识，建立于坚定沉着基础上的沉默性格，以及即便处于极端困难境地，也永远不变的谦恭礼貌。 一个国家富有的时候，随之肯定会出现一个中产阶层，然而，物质财富上的成功，并不能把一个人造就成绅士。东汉末年学者徐干说：“夫贤者，言足听，貌足象，行足法，加乎善奖人之美，而好摄人之过。”这才可能是一位真正的绅士，一位值得效法的楷模，无论是在19世纪如日中天的大英帝国，还是在21世纪正在迅速崛起的中国。该书为当今中国的中产阶层描述了英国绅士生活的细节点滴。 ——爱德华·伯曼 Ten brands for gents Armani Burberry Calvin　Klein GUCCI GIVENCHY HUGOBOSS VERSACE RALPH　LAUREN What are the generally accepted standards of an educated man? graceful manners Knowledgeable good personality Writing style Expository writing is a mode of writing in which the purpose of the author is to inform, explain, describe, or define his or her subject to the reader.
