The Excursus in the First Song of the Georgics and Vergil's Didactic Technique

The article discusses form and content of the excursus closing the first song in Vergil's Georgics as part of a didactic project conveying teachings about the cosmos. The poet's use of the catalogue of portents and the other elements in the passage are analysed from the perspective of the didactic genre. It is argued that Vergil develops didactic poetry by integrating everyday experiences with considerations about the relationship between religion, politics and agriculture.     

麦克马洪线的由来及其实质

麦克马洪线是英帝国在与中国、印度民族解放运动的矛盾斗争中,为封锁、镇压印度的民族解放运动而实施“战略边界”计划的产物。它的产生历时近30年,经过了“战略边界”计划的提出、西姆拉会议期间的麦、夏换文和伪书《艾奇逊条约集》1 4卷三个阶段。英印政府始而批准,继而视为非法而抛弃,最后又将它复活,几经波折起落。英国对藏政策说到底是为了封锁镇压印度民族解放运动,维护英国对印度的殖民统治,麦克马洪线的实质即在于此。
