Tess sat there,unaware of their conversation.
苔絲坐在那兒,不知道她們在談什么。
Her mouth was like a flower, and her eyes were large and soft,
她的小嘴像鮮花一般可人,她的大眼睛充滿了柔情。
sometimes black,blue or grey, sometimes all three colours together.
那眼睛有時是黑的、藍的或是灰的,有時就是這三種顏色的混合體。
She had spent months regretting her experience and crying over it,
她花了幾個月的時間為自己的經歷悔恨哭泣,
but suddenly decided that the past was the past.
但突然間她決定讓過去的事情成為過去。
In a few years her shame, and she herself,would be forgotten.
用不了幾年,她的恥辱連同她本人就會被人們遺忘。
Meanwhile the trees were just as green, and the sun shone just as brightly, as before.
樹木仍像過去一樣翠綠,陽光還同從前一樣明媚。
Life went on.
生活繼續著。
語段精講
1. Tess sat there,unaware of their conversation.
寫作語庫【寫作加分短語】:be unware of 是“不知道”的意思。它的反義詞是:be aware of。例如:
Her parents stood undiminished and unware of criticism.(她父母親一如既往,對別人的批評不屑一顧。)
Until Blunt confessed we were entirely unware of this chain.(在布倫特坦白交代之前,我們全然不知還有這條渠道。)
文法精講【伴隨狀況狀語】:unware of their conversation是形容詞短語做伴隨狀況狀語。苔絲坐在那里,伴隨著心里的狀態——不知道別人在議論她什么。“Sit”和“be unware”是同時發生的。
2. Her mouth was like a flower, and her eyes were large and soft...
文學手法【肖像描寫】:mouth——like a flower(采用比喻的手法說明苔絲的嘴很漂亮),eyes——large and soft(描寫出苔絲有一雙大大的眼睛充滿柔情,是那么誘人,讓人心動。)
肖像描寫的作用:這樣的描寫把苔絲描寫得惟妙惟肖,其中正孕育著作者要表達出的苔絲的悲慘命運就是因為此。
3. She had spent months regretting her experience and crying over it...
寫作語庫【寫作加分短語】:(1)spend some time doing something的意思是“花費時間做某事”。例如:
They spend lots of time doing what they find gratifying and fun.(他們把大量的時間花在他們認為高興和有趣的事情上。)
I had to spend the whole evening not watching TV but doing homework.(我不得不用整個晚上的時間來寫家庭作業,而不是看電視。)
(2)cry over的意思是“因某事而哭泣”。短語中的介詞over表示原因。例如:
She would not cry over split milk, but quickly set about mopping it up. (她從不吃后悔藥,而是立即采取補救措施。)
I know that you have lost your purse, But since it had happened, let it go, please don't cry over spilled milk.(我知道你丟了錢夾,不過既然這件事已經發生了,就讓它去,不要做無益的后悔。)
3. Meanwhile the trees were just as green, and the sun shone just as brightly, as before.
文學手法【景象描寫】:(1)The trees is just green as before. (樹木和以前一樣翠綠。)(2)The sun shone is just shone as brightly as before. (陽光還是同原來那么明媚。)
景象描寫的作用:這里的景象描寫同時蘊含著作者要告訴大家的是經歷挫折,遭遇災難不要一味地沉浸于以往的一切不快,要學會放棄。美好的世界沒有因為悲傷的你一個人而改變,大自然任然是美好的,一切都如以往。你因為過去而不能自拔與傷心的往事,自己值得嗎?當然是不值得,我們應該是和美好的大自然保持一致的步伐,心中是陽光的,去享受未來的生活。
4. Life went on.
寫作語庫【寫作加分短語】:go on的意思是“繼續”,表示繼續做某事,可以拓展為go on with something和go on doing something。例如:
We would rather go on with the experiment than give it up.(我們寧愿把這個實驗進行下去,而不愿放棄不做。)
I don' t want to interrupt you. Go on telling your story.(我不想打斷你。請把你的故事講下去。)
