The long and progressive reign of Queen Victoria came to a climax at a time of peace and plenty when the British Empire seemed to be at the summit of its power and security. Of the discord that soon followed we shall here note only two factors which had large influence on contemporary English literature.
The first disturbing factor was imperialism, the reawakening of a dominating spirit which had seemingly been put to sleep by the proclamation of an Imperial Federation.【F1】
Its coming was heralded by the Boer War in South Africa, through which Britain blundered to what was hoped to be an era of peace and good will.
Other nations promptly made such hope a vain whistling in the wind. Japanese War Lords began a career of conquest which aimed to make Japan master of Asia and East Indies. Pacific islands that had for ages slept peacefully were turned into frowning naval stations.【F2】
Even the United States, aroused by an easy triumph in the Spanish War, started on an imperialistic adventure by taking control of the Philip-pines, thus making an implacable enemy of Japan.
Only a nation that enters on a dangerous course with eyes wide open has any chance of a safe way out, and the imperialistic nations were all alike blind.【F3】
An inevitable result was the First War and the great horror of a Second World War, the two disasters being different acts of the same tragedy of imperialism, separated only by a breathing spell.
Another factor that influenced literature for the worse was a widespread demand for social reform of every kind: not slow and orderly reform, which is progress, but immediate and uncontrolled reform, which breeds a spirit of rebellion and despair. Before the Victorian age had come to an end, English literature appeared to have lost touch with healthy English life. Many writers echoed the sorrowful cry of James Thomson in his City of Dreadful Night, or babbled of "art for art’s sake" with Oscar Wilde.【F4】
Groom, in his survey of the period, notes that writers had mostly a critical attitude toward morals and religion, Church and State, as relics from "the dead hand of traditional beliefs. "
【F5】
Small wonder that German and Japanese war-advocates regarded Englishmen as a decadent race when the same or a worse opinion was daily read in the novels of Samuel Butler and nightly heard in the plays of Bernard Shaw.
【F3】
选项
答案
不可避免的结果是第一次世界大战的爆发和对二战的恐惧,这两次灾难仅仅是帝国主义同一悲剧的不同结果而已。它们之间只间隔了一段喘息的时间。
解析
本句主干是An inevitable result was…。the two disasters being different…是独立主格结构属于“名词+ing”形式,separated only by省略了which was。本句的关键是理解句子结构,找出同位语和省略了which was的分词短语作定语。
