论文题目：Brave New World: A Place Where Stability Is the Highest
《美丽新世界》：稳定至上

Abstract: This paper mainly discusses the crazy pursuit of stability in the Brave New World. In order to achieve the so-called “stability” which is considered as the supreme principle in the new world at the group and individual levels, people take three main methods: limiting science, conditioning people and exiling rebels. The methods work well, however, it is debatable whether the social state achieved at these costs can be called real stability and whether it has significance for social development. Environment and science, the two crucial elements which matter much in the stability of human society in the long run, are ignored. By conditioning, humans are deprived of freedom and transformed into emotionless robots, without the ability to think independently and right to carry out free will. Such stability in the brave new world is transient and meaningless.
Keywords: Stability, Methods, Meaning, Development, Human Right

论文题目：The Gap Between Lust and Gratification —— Reflections onBrave New World
欲望与满足之间的缝隙——《美丽新世界》之反思
指导老师：肖一之博士

Abstract: “It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied. “Brave New World introduces a notion that pain lies in the gap between lust and gratification, and “soma” and “feelies” stand as an instant gratification to narrow this gap as well as to alleviate the pain. In the climax where John and Mustapha Mond started a heated debate on whether social stability is an ultimate fruition worthy of abandoning beauty and happiness, or in their words, high art. This paper intends to contend that it’s humanity that separates human beings from animals, that it’s human’s inherent right to feel pain and that to suffer soberly is far more meaningful than to feel complacent blindly by citing the theories of John Stuart Mill, Arthur Schopenhauer and the example of Sisyphus.
Keywords: Pain, Gratification, Humanity, Stability, Happiness

论文题目：D for Dignity, Delusion and Damnation – On Dignity and The Sense of Self in The Remains of The Day
《长日留痕》：尊严与自我价值
指导老师：肖一之博士
主讲人：李昕颖，英语学院2019级翻译专业及人文实验班学生。
Abstract: Dignity originated from the Latin word Dignitas, meaning “worthiness”. To Mr. Stevens, the mercilessly formal and precise English butler of Darlington Hall, dignity is the essential ingredient of a great butler, and a great butler is someone who inhabits their professional role to the utmost. Not only does our protagonist describe dignity as “wearing your professionalism like a suit, and one should only discard of it when they are entirely alone”, but also executes this belief to the fullest. On the surface, The Remains of The Day seems like a story of nostalgia and reminiscence - Mr. Stevens recounts the past as he takes a road trip to the West Country to meet with an old acquaintance, Miss Kenton. This paper focuses on observing Mr. Stevens’s trip down memory lane, or as it reveals, an unintended journey of self-realization, loss and heartbreak.
Keywords: Dignity, Professionalism, Denial, Self-Worth, Regret
