分析人物形象,理解小说主题
本文节选自埃德加·爱伦·坡的短篇小说《莫斯肯旋涡沉浮记》。短篇小说通常选取和描绘富有典型意义的生活片段,极力刻画主要人物的性格特征,反映社会生活的某一侧面或生活内容,使读者能“借一斑略知全豹”。阅读时注意通过人物的肖像、语言、行为和心理活动来分析人物形象,以便更深刻地理解小说反映的主题。本文描述了主人公和两个兄弟在海洋上遭遇大旋涡的故事,其中第三、四段通过细致的场景描写和心理描写刻画了主人公在自然灾害面前的心理变化,由恐惧到镇定并积极思考施以自救,最终安全脱险,教育读者应该敬畏大自然,增强对自然灾害的防御意识、防御能力和生命意识。
(一)赏开头之美
One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going and got more fish than others.
赏析:句中使用的时间名词one day是讲故事时的常用词,类似的有long long ago及once upon a time等。用在此处点明故事发生的时间,同时也为后文叙述故事做好铺垫。
(二)赏用词之妙
1.About three years ago, something terrible happened to me.
赏析:句中使用的something terrible形象地描述了作者经历的一次可怕事件,使读者身临其境,并引发其对下文的阅读兴趣。
2.I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature.Suddenly, we went over the edge.I thought my life was over.But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
赏析:句中使用的形容词amazing形象地描述了作者当时的心理活动,同时也刻画了他对死亡的看法。副词suddenly及连词but为事件的逆转埋下伏笔,作者本以为会死去,但时间一分一秒过去了,他却依然安全。die、over、safe串联了事件的进展。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①How amazing it is to have such a shift!
能够有这样的转变是多么地令人惊奇!
②I could tell by the look on her face that something terrible had happened.
我从她的脸色可以判断,可怕的事情发生了。
(三)赏句式之高
1.That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul.
赏析:句中when引导定语从句,修饰先行词the day。从句使用了“It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.”结构,表示“做某事花费了(某人)多长时间”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式。该句表示作者的身体和灵魂只用了六个小时就支离破碎了,形容他所遭遇事情的可怕程度。
2.As you can see, the reason why I'm here to tell the story is that I made the right decision.
赏析:句中As引导非限制性定语从句,意为“正如,正像”;the reason why ... is that ...意为“……的原因是……”,其中why引导定语从句,修饰先行词the reason,that引导表语从句。该句说明正因为作者做了正确的决定,才能死里逃生。
[提能训练] (同义句转换/一句多译)
①The reason why he was late was that his car was held up.
→The reason for his being late was that his car was held up.
②他每天花半小时的时间锻炼。
→He spends half an hour doing exercise every day.
→It takes him half an hour to do exercise every day.
(四)赏描摹之韵
1.(动作描写)All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm.A huge wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea.My elder brother put his mouth close to my ear and cried out “Moskoe-ström!” The moment I heard the word I became very frightened.
赏析:在大海深处,伴随着极端的天气,船又被巨浪吞没,此时对于任何人来说都只有惶恐不安。文中一系列的动作描写为后文人物的心理描写做铺垫,入情入理,值得回味。
2.(场景描写)Soon after that, the whirlpool became less wild.Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining.
赏析:狂风暴雨之后,一切都归于平静,文中对大海环境的描述更加突出了大自然变幻莫测的特点,同时也反映了作者前后的心理变化,相互映衬,合情合理。

(体会并翻译下面动作描写的句子)
①When she laughed, she covered her mouth with her hand to hide the bad tooth.当她笑的时候,她用手捂住嘴来掩盖那颗坏掉的牙。
②In order not to be heard by his mother, Tom tiptoed into his own room.为了不被母亲听到,汤姆踮着脚尖走进了自己的房间。
(五)赏衔接之顺
The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, spheres, which were ball-like objects, fell more rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, cylinders, which were tube-like objects, fell more slowly.
赏析:句中the first、the second、the third为表示顺序的逻辑关系词,清晰地描述了作者在危急关头的三个重要发现,这是导致他获救的关键。常见的此类词还有:first, second, third ...; firstly, secondly, thirdly ...; for one thing, for another等。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
For one thing, we can't concentrate in class.For another, we may get angry and impatient easily.
一方面,我们在课堂上不能集中注意力。另一方面,我们可能很容易生气和不耐烦。

We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer.

With love,
