2.1 复习笔记

Ⅰ. In the Colonial Period（殖民地时期）

(1) The colonial period encompassed almost all of the 17th and much of the 18th centuries.

殖民地时期几乎包括了整个17世纪和18世纪的一大部分。

(2) In 1763, Indian tribes launched a frontier campaign that removed British authority in the Ohio territory within months, forcing King George to sign the Royal Declaration of 1763, which divided the colony into northern, middle, and Southern colonies.

1763年，印第安部落发动了边疆战役，几个月内就撤除英国在俄亥俄地区的职权，迫使英王乔治签署了1763年皇家宣言，此宣言将当时的殖民地划分为北部、中部和南部殖民地。

(3) In the early colonial years, most literature was written by Puritans and pilgrims.

在殖民地早期，大多数文学作品是由清教徒和朝圣者创作的。

(4) In the early colonial period, southern literature emerged as distinctly non-Puritan.

在殖民地早期，南方文学出现了明显的非清教徒的特点。

(5) What southern writers have in common with northern writers is that they often wrote for utilitarian purposes.

南方作家与北方作家的共同点是他们经常为了功利主义而写作。
