作为当今最有影响力之一的语言学理论，功能语法以社会学为导向，着重语言的功能性研究。其创始人韩礼德从儿童和成人的语言学习角度将语言功能高度理论化。根据韩的观点，儿童所使用的最原始的语言能够被简概为一套高度编码且抽象的功能，其中包含三个元功能（纯理功能）：概念功能（ideational function），人际功能（interpersonal function）以及语篇功能（textualfunction）[1]。概念功能进一步被细化为和逻辑功能，表述在我们周围及自身所发生的事情，称之为“内容（content）”。概念功能通过及物性（transitivity）来实现，及物性由六个过程组成，即物质过程，心理过程，关系过程，行为过程，言语过程和存在过程。
功能语法把用来表达一系列概念意义，抽象和具体的外部世界，以及人的意识过程的结构单位叫做小句（clause），即句子或类似句子结构的统称。一个小句包含三个功能成份：过程（process），参与者（participant），和环境（circumstantials）。其中主要成份过程代表事件或状态，参与者即从时间，地点，方式等各个层面参与的人或事功能语法，而具体的参与者功能取决于过程类型。语言的及物性和作格性能够帮助将过程进行归类，及物性把经验世界看作是一套可控的过程模式。简而言之，及物性是与概念元功能相一致的小句语法，及物性分析能够定义不同的过程类型并由此决定过程的参与者，从而明确过程与参与者之间的逻辑关系[2]。
在韩提出的六个过程中，物质，心理和关系过程是最主要的。他们作为经验理论，是语法的奠基石，呈现三种截然不同的结构，是篇章中所有小句的主体。同时，韩提出了一个假设，这三个过程在整个语言中的分布频率大致平衡。然而，他自己也承认，此理论未经证实[3]。韩礼德用来阐释六个过程的小句皆为简短且相互独立无关联的句子，而此后的相关过程模式研究也仅仅探究了口头语篇或主观自创的例句cssci期刊目录。

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

坐自己的位置错了吗？一句话三言两语足以评估这个人的素质的高低，文明，礼让，友爱都能触类旁通的词语，从小就伴着我们成长，怎么连大学生读了十几年的书也理解不了这只言片语呢，是想你的父亲或母亲重病站在车上无人让座，就能请求你别拒绝就行了，一下子就凉到北极去了，社会需要关爱的人需要相互扶持，你的一个举动不仅帮助别人，也能升华自己，何乐而不为呢？
再者，大学生文化素质高的情况下，却出现行为素质低的现象，我们不应该反思点什么吗？当今这个世界为什么会出现这种状况？难道真的仅仅只是因为人们所认为的`：学生情商低下吗？为现代化社会能高速发展各类学校，积极主动大力培养各类人才回报社会，而教育部门心系人才驿站则是哪间学校哪位同学进了名牌大学，大肆夸奖，这间学校老师家新校长升职如此恶性循环，小学阶段的三字经，有的人是想找对，好久下雨我去了，一心只愿考取功名了。因此，教育者应尊重育人先育德这一规律，不然未来的社会就如同机器人社会，唯科技，绝人情。
曾经上网看到这么一个段子，现在的社会是怎么了？回想起六七十年代那个时候一家便宜，四家长，家家户户门挨着门后，最后有多少家产，门口一览无遗，晚上睡觉门也敞开着，别说别说晚风有多清凉了，再看看这个时代，恨不得多加一把锁呢，科技在不断发展，勇往直前，我们怎么能倒退呢？并不是你的双腿在倒退，是你的精神在回头走。
雷锋的精神一直被人们赞颂，他的热心，无私，伟大，令人们赞叹不已，他学习一直不行，努力了也跟不上，但他的口碑胜于多少科技，多少人才，只因他有一颗善良的心，每每人们问他为什么的时候，他只会笑笑说，群众的快乐是我最大的快乐，助人与助剂，社会不断的需要钱，更需要情。
我们应该携手共创一个美好有爱的社会，而不应该是一个令人不开心的世界。

今年暑假我参加了少年宫的车模班，我获得了一辆1/18的.飞神跑车，学到了很多新知识，让我明白了小车模有大学问。
这辆平跑车它个儿不大，很帅，很阳光。有一件华丽的“装甲”外衣，这是一款日产的拉丝车壳，采用了PVC软塑料。说它是“装甲”，原因是它十分坚硬，却有很强的抗变形能力。万一全速撞墙也不会变形，保障车的内部完好无损，如果从200米高空摔下来，车壳也安然无恙。
在“装甲”的内部是车架，由底板、马达座等部件组成。车架由金属和纤维塑胶组成。车还有四只抓地力极强的由海绵塑胶组成的轮胎。可以让车速度快时减少摩擦力，刹车时增加摩擦力。
还有电子系统，这是车的“内脏”，由马达、电调等组成。马达是“心脏”，是强磁180马达，可达到每分钟一万二千转；其次是电调和遥控器组成的“大脑”，遥控器发出信号，接收器收到信号给电调，电调把指令传给马达、舵机。车做出前进、后退、左右转等动作，舵机也是主要部件，可以使车子转向和运动时十分平稳地跑动。
如果要把车的性能发挥到极致，地面要求干燥、平坦，车手也要有一定的操纵水平。
车也会生病，比如齿轮磨掉了，舵机不灵了，避震断了……这时就需要找医生，医院就在古河巷里，只要让专业医生找个零件，或者修理一下，车就重新焕发活力。
初级班的1/18车模只需要600元左右，中级班的1/10的车模至少需要3500元；而车队的车模就高达7000元以上；价格越高，性能就越好，但对操纵手的要求也更高，所以要根据每个阶段的所需和实际情况配置，否则得不偿失。
小车模有大学问，如果你也喜欢，就和我一起讨论一起玩吧！

3.2 分析结果与探讨
从上表可以看出，韩礼德的六个过程模式在英文议论中呈现不均衡分布。从整体来看，物质过程和关系过程所占比例分别为33%和34.4%。这就意味着在英文议论文中，物质和关系过程占据主体地位，二者总体超过总数的三分之二，而其他四个过程仅占不到三分之一。单从主句来看，关系过程以41.2%的比例占据主导地位，同时，我们可以发现一个非常有趣的现象，即物质，心理，言语过程所占比例均为16.5%。在从句的过程分布比例中，物质过程占41.5%，非常接近关系过程在主句中所占的比重。其次是关系过程，所占百分比为23.4。存在过程在整体分句，主句及从句中的分布比例较为稳定。出现比例最小的为行为过程。
结合小句过程模式的分布比例和议论文的特点，笔者的分析如下：
第一，物质过程是摆事实，讲论据的最佳途径。作为质询和决策的方式之一，议论文应当提供充分有力的证据来引领读者挖掘事件的方方面面。论据通常包括常识，例证，事实，数据，引用等等。有效的论据必须能够清楚直接地证明论点cssci期刊目录。一般情况下，人的行为即为已经发生的无可改变的既成事实，而物质过程作为外部经验的表述恰好使其成为了提供论据最为常用的模式。在议论文中，从句通常扮演着为主句提供事实或数据的角色，由此不难解释为何物质过程在从句中占据绝对比例。例如，在复杂句“advertisements are now so numerous that theyare very negligently perused”中，其从句“they are verynegligently perused，”阐述了主句所引发的事实结果。相反地，主观意见和心理活动的论证说明力远不如事实，这也正是心理过程在议论文中所占比重较小的原因。
第二，关系过程在英文议论文中的显著地位源于其对逻辑关系的阐释。逻辑性对议论文至关重要功能语法，议论文的目的就是通过理性说明来赢得读者的认同，而读者对新观点的认同建立在其已认同的事实和原理的基础之上。因此，从本质上来说，议论文是通过良好的逻辑建立和加强共同与合作意识的过程。换言之，所有能够作为论据的事实和原理都必须相互并与结论有逻辑性地联系在一起，任何逻辑错误或推理失误都可能导致读者对整篇文章论点的怀疑。关系过程，表明一项经验与另一项经验之间的关系，恰好能够清楚地阐释读议论文中的逻辑关系。以代表句型“x is a”为例，x与a之间的逻辑关系并非唯一的。a既可作为某项特征表明x的特性，也可作为指代与x进行互换。简而言之，在关系过程中，主句通常是被从句归纳化或概念化的特征或指代。
第三，在英文议论中，看似表达主观观点与意愿的言语过程同样不可或缺。引用权威的语言，观点，评论或表达都常常作为强有力的事实支撑来赞同或反对某一观点，而无论是直接引用还是间接引用，都必须通过言语过程来体现。
第四，其他过程类型在英文议论文中同样占据一席之地并发挥着举足轻重的作用。对议论文而言，描述，叙述，阐释等写作手法的合理利用与相辅相成无疑是锦上添花。正因如此，六个过程在英文议论文中的不同分布比例恰好是议论文客观，有逻辑，严肃及某种程度上带有一定主观色彩的特点等要求的自然结果。

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
