经典阅读与外国文学教学

在外国文学的教学中，经典阅读是一种精神行动与思想操作的实践。它体现在文本细读与文本阐释结合、文学理论资源的运用、借用文学批评固定的范畴和术语转换成文本分析的技巧等方面，并以此发现作品的审美价值和艺术价值，“文学”教学的目的亦在于此。

The Relation between Reading Literary Classics and Teaching Foreign Literature

In the course of teaching foreign literature, reading literary classics is deemed as that for all their cultural value, the classics function not simply as great books but as something closer to spiritual exercises. Over the centuries, the books known as the classics have formed intricate bonds among men and women who have grown up within the radius of a civilization that began to flower nearly three thousand years ago. It reflects the skills of combination of textual in-depth reading and text ual elucidation, the utility of literature theory resources, borrowing the settled category of literary criticism and conversion of terminology into textual analysis. The purpose of teaching literature lies in finding out the taste and artistic value of the given masterpieces.
