問題詳情

依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles is a graded reader of made-up Latin stories, which the author Francis Ritchie wrote inorder to give students additional practice before they began reading Julius Caesar’s Gallic War. The text includes themyths of Perseus, Heracles, Jason and the Argonauts, and Ulysses; and the entire volume is divided into 100 sectionsof Latin, which are roughly a paragraph in length. Although Ritchie assumes that readers know all five declensions,pronouns, and active and passive verbs from the beginning of the Perseus readings, he does not introduce thesubjunctive mood until the middle of the Heracles selections or indirect discourse and ablative absolutes until Jasonand the Argonauts. Ritchie’s purpose is to provide readers with an opportunity to master simple Latin grammar andmorphology before they encounter more complex constructions in the later stories, and he does so while presentingstudents with an informative and thoroughly engaging storyline.This Latin text was first published by Ritchie in 1884 in a volume called Fabulae Faciles: A First Latin Reader.In 1903, John Kirtland produced a revised edition of the book under the title Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles: A First LatinReader. Kirtland modified Ritchie’s Latin text, added grammatical notes, and eliminated a section of drill exercisesfound in the original volume. Kirtland’s book remained the standard edition until 1991, when another revised volumewas prepared by Gilbert Lawall, Stanley Iverson, and Allan Wooley, entitled Fabulae Graecae: A Revised Edition ofRitchie’s Fabulae Faciles. While the first two books are out of copyright and can be downloaded for free, the FabulaeGraecae remains available in paperback. The aim of this current edition(2012) is to make Ritchie’s myths even moreaccessible to intermediate-level Latin readers.
