福州SSAT考試培訓(xùn)選哪家？為了給學(xué)員提供更專業(yè)的學(xué)術(shù)支持，朗閣教育(Longre)先后成立了從事海外考試教學(xué)研究的學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)朗閣海外考試研究中心(RAFLE)以及專注德法西意及日韓語研究的小語種教學(xué)研發(fā)中心，為廣大考生在復(fù)習(xí)備考、資料下載、考題跟蹤及業(yè)界動向等方面提供咨詢。

在SSAT閱讀考試中涉及過很多次Harlem Renaissance(哈萊姆文藝復(fù)興)的概念，今天我們就這一文學(xué)運動及相關(guān)作家給大家進(jìn)行下簡要的介紹。Harlem是美國紐約市曼哈頓的一個區(qū)。在20世紀(jì)20年代至30年代一度是中產(chǎn)階層的居住區(qū)，但是隨著美國經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條的爆發(fā)，大批黑人涌入該地區(qū)，其中也包括大量受過教育的黑人知識分子和藝術(shù)家，Harlem逐漸成為美國黑人文化的首都。這群富有才華的年輕人引發(fā)了美國黑人文化較具影響力的一次運動。在文學(xué)、音樂、戲劇以及視覺藝術(shù)方面，他們試圖重新定義白人文化中刻板的黑人形象。其中頗具代表性的人物就是Langston Hughes。

Langston Hughes開創(chuàng)了jazz poetry這一文學(xué)流派，使得詩歌富有爵士音樂般流動即興的韻律。其代表詩作如：The Weary Blues

Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,

Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,

I heard a Negro play.

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night

By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light

He did a lazy sway . . .

He did a lazy sway . . .

To the tune o' those Weary Blues.

With his ebony hands on each ivory key

He made that poor piano moan with melody.

O Blues!

Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool

He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool.

Sweet Blues!

Coming from a black man's soul.

O Blues!

In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone

I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan--

"Ain't got nobody in all this world,

Ain't got nobody but ma self.

I's gwine to quit ma frownin'

And put ma troubles on the shelf."

Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.

He played a few chords then he sang some more--

"I got the Weary Blues

And I can't be satisfied.

Got the Weary Blues

And can't be satisfied--

I ain't happy no mo'

And I wish that I had died."

And far into the night he crooned that tune.

The stars went out and so did the moon.

The singer stopped playing and went to bed

While the Weary Blues echoed through his head.

He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.
