Alevel英語(yǔ)文學(xué)解析：難道人在命運(yùn)面前真的就無(wú)能為力了？

 

　　在Alevel英語(yǔ)文學(xué)課程中，經(jīng)常會(huì)涉及到很多短篇小說(shuō)的閱讀和理解。而提到短篇小說(shuō)the necklace，相信大家并不陌生，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這篇小說(shuō)我們?cè)谥袑W(xué)語(yǔ)文課本上看到過(guò)，文章被翻譯成了中文，大家還記得文章內(nèi)容嗎？

　　今天A+國(guó)際教育李老師就帶大家一起來(lái)重溫這部經(jīng)典的、耐人尋味的、令人驚訝的短篇小說(shuō)，并且從Alevel英語(yǔ)文學(xué)的角度進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)短的分析。

　　小說(shuō)的作者是居伊·德·莫泊桑，19世紀(jì)后半葉法國(guó)批判現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家，與俄國(guó)契訶夫和美國(guó)歐·亨利并稱(chēng)為“世界三大短篇小說(shuō)巨匠”。代表作品有《項(xiàng)鏈》《羊脂球》和《我的叔叔于勒》等。

　　故事情節(jié)回顧

　　故事開(kāi)端

　　Set in Paris,France in 1880.A young middle-class woman dreams of a lifestyle far beyond her reach.One day,her husband comes home with tickets to attend a party,and she is excited to attend,but upset that she will look poor.

　　故事矛盾點(diǎn)

　　Mathilde Loisel is not wealthy,yet she dreams to be.Her husband gives her money to buy a dress,but she is not satisfied until she asks a wealthy friend for a necklace to borrow.

　　矛盾發(fā)展

　　Upon leaving she reaches for the necklace,and finds it missing.After days of searching,she and her husband decide to replace it with a one that looks identical.The replacement cost more money than they make,and it takes them ten years to pay it off.

　　故事高潮

　　After ten years of hard work and struggles,the couple pays off all their debts.

　　結(jié)局

　　One day Mathilde is walking to the market and sees the friend that she borrowed the necklace from.She decides to tell her what happened.The friend Mme.Forestier,tells Mathilde that the necklace was“false”,a fake.

　　主題探討

　　揭示了當(dāng)時(shí)法國(guó)社會(huì)底層人民生活和精神的落寞，以及人生觀和價(jià)值觀對(duì)于人生經(jīng)歷的影響。社會(huì)上道德淪喪，資產(chǎn)階級(jí)驕奢淫逸的糜爛生活和惟利是圖的道德觀念影響到整個(gè)社會(huì)，追求享樂(lè)追求虛榮，成為一種惡劣的社會(huì)風(fēng)氣。

　　莫泊桑是一個(gè)悲觀主義者，小說(shuō)最后主要是戲劇性地揭示出人在命運(yùn)面前是無(wú)能為力的，最終人的一切理想追求和憧憬最終都會(huì)化為零。

　　語(yǔ)言賞析

　　She was one of those pretty and charming girls born,as if by an error of fate,into a family of clerks.She had no dowry,no expectations,no means of becoming known,understood,loved or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction;and so she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education.
