For thousands of yearsꎬ people have told fables (寓言) 1. to teach (teach) a lesson or to pass
on wisdom. Fables were part of the oral tradition of many early culturesꎬ and the well ̄known Aesops
fables date to the 2. sixth ( six) centuryꎬ B. C. Yetꎬ the form of the fable still has values todayꎬ
3. as Rachel Carson says in A Fable for Tomorrow.
Carson uses a simpleꎬ direct style common to fable. In factꎬ her style and tone (口吻) are
seemingly directed at children. “There was once a town in the heart of Americaꎬ 4. where all life
seemed to enjoy peaceful existence with its surroundingsꎬ” her fable beginsꎬ 5. borrowing (borrow)
some familiar words from many age ̄old fables. Behind the simple styleꎬ howeverꎬ is a serious message
6. intended (intend) for everyone.
7. Different (difference) from traditional fablesꎬ Carsons story ends with an accusation instead
of a moral. She warns of the environmental dangers facing societyꎬ and she teaches that people must take
responsibility 8. for saving their environment.
The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about everyday life. Howeverꎬ Carsons
theme is a more weighty 9. warning (warn) about environmental destruction. Carson proves that a
simple lyric form that has been passed down through the ages can still 10. be employed ( employ)
today to draw attention to important truths.
