英语专业文学论文答辩问题及回答

英语论文答辩常见问题

在论文答辩时，不用太紧张，把老师问的问题认真回答就好，应该不会为难同学们的。

简单的问题：

What's the significance of your paper?

What's the originality of your paper?

这类问题很常见，你对自己的论文较熟悉就行。

难点的问题：

老师可能会挑出你写出来的某一点很细节的东西来问，比如说：别人认为这个人物是这样的，为什么你会认为是那样的，而这两种看法刚好相反?

我答辩的时候老师问我：我写的是C.S.Lewis的《纳尼亚传奇》。老师问：作者写的Narnia真的会实现吗?这就很难回答了，因为站在作者的观点是有可能的，从现实的角度看几乎不可能了。

答辩的时候，一般是不会翻论文的。因为你必须对自己的论文很熟悉，另一方面，老师问的问题，你读答案也不太好。除非老师说翻到某一页，你这一页有什么观点，解释一下为什么?这才会翻论文看。

老师有的.时候也不问什么难问题，只是指出你的论文那个地方修改，因为最后答辩后还要交终稿存档，所以会让你继续改改格式之类的。

建议：要对自己的Bibliography(参考文献)有一定的了解，有的老师会问某本文献里讲了什么观点，这类问题笼统回答一下就好，所以你得知道自己用了什么文献。

Good morning, professors and everyone. I come from JMU College. I am XXX and my supervisor is prof XXX. With her sincere and intellectual guidance, I have finished my paper.

The title of my paper is An Analysis of Ahab’s Personality Tragedy in Moby Dick. I choose this title as my topic due to the following reasons. Firstly, I am fond of literature works , especially gothic literature works. Secondly, I am quite familiar with this work as this is one of the texts in our American literature course . Last but not least , Moby-Dick is widely recognized as the summit not only of Melville’s art but of American nineteenth-centry fiction.

The purpose of this essay is to study Captain Ahab,the role in Moby-Dick, whose leg was bitten by the white whale in his process of the whaling. After losing his leg, he determined to revenge Moby Dick and tried to kill it. In order to revenge, Ahab ultimately dooms the crew of the Pequod (save for Ishmael) to death by his obsession with Moby Dick. By taking the comprehensive analysis perspective of Moby-Dick, this thesis will point out that the main characteristics of Ahab.

This paper consists of three parts. Part one presents an introduction to the Social Background and the life of the Author Herman Melvillehe ,Part two presents The Main Characteristics of Ahab. there are three aspects have been divided to analyze his characters: his monomania , his selfishness, and his individualism. Part three presents The Consequences of Ahab's Personality Tragedy.

OK, that's all. Thank you !
