15、r. As a representative piece of oration by the great orator Churchill, this speech was made eloquent and encouraging by employing many rhetorical devices. With generally short (in length) and simple (in structure) sentences, the message conveyed by the speech was highlighted by constant repetition,

16、e.g. “Never, Never, Never” in the title, and strengthened by the use of antonyms, e.g. “ups/downs” and “short/long”.Rhetorical featuresStructural analysisPractice: Find more examples of repetition and pairs of antonyms in the speech.Detailed readingNEVER GIVE IN, NEVER, NEVER, NEVERWinston Churchill

17、 1 Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Masters kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world ups and downs, misfo

18、rtunes but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alo

19、ne, and we had been so for fiveDetailed readingor six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I

20、expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!2 But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to mov

21、e from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months if it takes years they do it.3 Another lesson I thi

22、nk we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must “ meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same.”4 You cannot tell from appearances how things will g

23、o. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-r

24、eaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period I am addressing Detailed readingmyself to the school surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never in nothing, great or small, large or petty n

25、ever give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our s

26、chool history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.Detailed reading5 Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of g

27、iving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.6 You sang here a verse of a school song: you sang that extra verse writte

28、n in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: “Not less we praise in darker days.”Detailed reading7 I have obtained the Head Masters permis

29、sion to alter darker to sterner. “Not less we praise in sterner days.”8 Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us

30、 according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race. Detailed readingWhat was the difference between the present situation and the situation when Churchill came to Harrow School ten months ago? (Paragraph 1)Ten months ago, Britain was poorly armed, fi

31、ghting alone, and faced with unmeasured menace of the enemy. Now, Britain was not that poorly armed, and the situation was improving.Detailed readingWhat did Churchill mean by saying “we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough”? (Paragraph 2)By saying this

32、 he meant to make his audience fully aware that they should not only be able to fight and win short and quick battles but also be ready to fight and win hard and enduring wars.Detailed readingWhat lesson had they learnt? (Paragraphs 3 4)The lesson learnt throughout the past ten months was that one s

33、hould not be deceived by appearances and should never give in to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. With a combination of imagination and courage, the British people could overcome any kind of difficulties and smash any attack of the enemy.Detailed readingWhy did Churchill replace the w

34、ord darker with sterner? (Paragraphs 7 8)Because he had a strong conviction of victory. The word darker carries a pessimistic tone, for it usually indicates “a period of unpleasant and frightening time” and implies hopelessness in a difficult period. But the word sterner, although it has the identic

35、al referent, suggests a time that is testing, but testing in a way that offers the British the opportunity to display their courage to the full.Detailed readingGroup discussions Topic A: How does the speaker Churchill impress you in the speech?

His ancestor John Churchill had been created first Duke of Marlborough in 1702 for his victories against Louis XIV early in the War of the Spanish Succession. Churchill w

145、as born in 1874 in Blenheim Palace, the house built by the nation for Marlborough. As a young man of undistinguished academic accomplishment he was admitted to Sandhurst after two failed attempts he entered the army as a cavalry officer. He took enthusiastically to soldiering (and perhaps even more

146、enthusiastically to regimental polo playing) and between 1895 and 1898 managed to see three campaigns: Text IIMemorable quotes Spains struggle in Cuba in 1895, the North-West Frontier campaign in India in 1897 and the Sudan campaign of 1898, where he took part in what is often described as the Briti

147、sh Armys last cavalry charge, at Omdurman. In Cuba he was present as a war correspondent, and in India and the Sudan he was present both as a war correspondent and as a serving officer. Thus he revealed two other aspects of his character: a literary bent and an interest in public affairs. Text IIMem

148、orable quotes2 He was to write all his life. His Life of Marlborough is one of the great English biographies, and The History of the Second World War helped win him a Nobel Prize for literature. Writing, however, never fully engaged his energies. Politics consumed him. His father Lord RandolphChurch

149、ill was a brilliant political failure. Early in life, Winston determined to succeed where his father had failed. His motives were twofold. His father had despised him. Writing in August 1893 to Winstons grandmother, the dowager Duchess of Marlborough, he said the boy lacked “cleverness, knowledge an

150、d any capacity for settled work. He has a great talent for show-off, exaggeration and make-believe.” His disapproval surely stung, but Churchill reacted by venerating his fathers memory. Winston fought to restore his fathers honour in Parliament (where it had been dented by the Conservative Party).

151、Thirty years after Lord Randolphs death, Winston wrote, “All my dreams of comradeship were ended. There remained for me only to pursue his aims and vindicate his memory.” Text IIMemorable quotesText IIMemorable quotes3 Churchill entered Parliament in 1901 at age 26. In 1904 he left the Conservative

152、Party to join the Liberals, in part out of calculation: the Liberals were the coming party, and in its ranks he soon achieved high office. He became Home Secretary in 1910 and First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911. Thus it was as political head of the Royal Navy at the outbreak of the First World War

153、in 1914 that he stepped onto the world stage. 4 A passionate believer in the navys historic strategic role, he immediately committed the Royal Naval Division to an intervention in the Flanders campaign in 1914. Frustrated by the stalemate in Belgium and France that followed, he initiated the Allies

155、lure that forced Churchills resignation and led to his political eclipse.5 It was effectively to last nearly 25 years. Despite his readmission to office in 1917, after a spell commanding an infantry battalion on the Western Front, he failed to re-establish the reputation as a future national statesm

157、inted Churchill Chancellor of the Exchequer, but when he returned the country to the gold standard, it proved financially disastrous, and he further weakened his political position by opposing measures to grant India limited self-government. He resigned office in 1931 and entered what appeared to be

158、 a terminal political decline.6 By espousing anti-Nazi policies in his wilderness years between 1933 and 1939, he ensured that when the moment of final confrontation between Britain and Hitler came in 1940, he stood out as the one man in whom the nation could place its trust. He had decried the prew

159、ar appeasement policies of the Conservative leaders Baldwin and Chamberlain. When Chamberlain lost the confidence of Parliament, Churchill was installed in the premiership. Text IIMemorable quotes7 His was a bleak inheritance. Following the total defeat of France, Britain truly, in his words, “stood

160、 alone.” It had no substantial allies and, for much of 1940, lay under threat of German invasion and under constant German air attack. He nevertheless refused Hitlers offers of peace, organized a successful air defense that led to the victory of the Battle of Britain and meanwhile sent most of what

161、remained of the British army, after its escape from the humiliation of Dunkirk, to the Middle East to oppose Hitlers Italian ally, Mussolini.8 This was one of the boldest strategic decisions in history. Convinced that Hitler could not invade Britain while the Royal Navy and its protecting Royal Air

162、ForceText IIMemorable quotesremained intact, he dispatched the army to a remote theater of war to open a second front against the Nazi alliance.

He had established a personal relationship with President Roos

164、evelt that he hoped would flower into a war-winning alliance. Roosevelts reluctance to commit the U.S. beyond an association “short of war” did not dent his optimism. He always hoped events wouldText IIMemorable quoteswork his way. The decision by Japan, Hitlers ally, to attack the American Pacific

167、eadership in the anti-Nazi alliance with Roosevelt and Stalin. Text IIMemorable quotes11 Churchill understandably exulted in the success of the D-day invasion when it came in 1944. By then it was the Russo-American rather than the Anglo-American nexus, however, that dominated the alliance, as he rue

168、fully recognized at the last Big Three conference in February 1945. Shortly afterward he suffered the domestic humiliation of losing the general election and with it the premiership. He was to return to power in 1951 and remain until April 1955, when ill health and visibly failing powers caused him

169、to resign. 12 It would have been kinder to his reputation had he not returned. He was not an effective peacetime Prime Minister.
