1、Unit 5 中国近代史的开端,中国近代史的开端 1840年英国无耻地对中国发动了战争，其罪恶目的在于保护他们在中国的鸦片贸易。19世纪初，英国东印度公司向中国大量走私产自当时英国的殖民地印度的鸦片。这种不法贸易不仅耗费了中国大量的钱财，而且极大地损害了鸦片吸食者的身心健康。所以，清政府中林则徐等一批头脑清醒的官员，力主全面禁止鸦片贸易。清政府的统治者们也意识到鸦片泛滥的危害，1838年，任命林则徐为钦差大臣，命其到广州实行禁烟。当时，广州是大多数英国烟贩停留、交易的地方。1839年初，林则徐到任广州，随即采取了坚决措施，严令禁止鸦片贸易。勒令英国烟贩们上缴全部鸦片，总计22000箱（每箱约1

2、20斤鸦片），并且在离广州不远的虎门当众销毁。在英国的鸦片贸易利益集团强烈要求下，英国政府决定向中国发动战争。他们向中国派出舰队，共战舰四十多条，军队四千，逼近中国海域。林则徐带领当地军民做了充分的准备，在广东痛击了侵略者。腐败无能的清廷统治者们畏惧英国的先进武器，又担心人民力量的壮大，是战是和始终举棋不定。最后，为了结束战争，接受了英国提出的所有条件。林则徐被贬官，流放新疆。1842年8月，在南京城外停泊的英国战船上，第一个由西方势力强加给中国的不平等条约-南京条约签署了。条约规定中国赔偿英国2100万银圆；割让香港给英国，开放5个通商口岸（广州，厦门，福州，宁波和上海），对英国进出口货物征

3、收的关税必须由两国协商决定。翌年，英国又强迫中国签订了两个协议，允许英国领事对在中国犯罪的英国公民按照英国法律审理，中国给其他国家的贸易优惠也必须给予英国。换言之，中国要给予英国领事裁判权和片面最惠国待遇。中国在鸦片战争中战败，暴露了她在军事上的软弱和政治上的落后。西方列强发现迫使中国接受不平等条件是轻而易举的。因而，战后，英国和其他西方国家，包括法国、德国、俄国和美国，还有东方的日本，或单独或联合对中国发动新略战争，以不同的方式欺凌中国，以获取优惠、特权、赔偿、租界、甚至领土。一般来说，他们的目的都能达到。19世纪后半叶的中国历史就充满了这样的屈辱。由此，中国从一个有主权的封建国家，开始逐渐

11、a criminal purpose-to protect their opium trade.本句中文断成二句，有人译为“In 1840 Britain shamelessly launched a war on China.Their criminal purpose was to protect the opium purpose.”英译汉合为一句更为简洁，其中“其罪恶目的”可译为介词短语for a criminal purpose。,19世纪初，英国东印度公司向中国大量走私产自当时英国的殖民地印度的鸦片。这种不法贸易不仅耗费了中国大量的钱财，而且极大地损害了鸦片吸食者的身心健康。所以，
