【讀書(shū)筆記】E.B.懷特 - 《夏洛的網(wǎng)》11
內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:
《夏洛的網(wǎng)》是美國(guó)作家E.B.懷特所著的三部被譽(yù)為“二十世紀(jì)讀者最多、最受愛(ài)戴的童話”之一。
在朱克曼家的谷倉(cāng)里,快樂(lè)地生活著一群動(dòng)物,其中小豬威爾伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了最真摯的友誼。然而,一個(gè)最丑惡的消息打破了谷倉(cāng)的平靜:威爾伯未來(lái)的命運(yùn)競(jìng)?是成為熏肉火腿。作為一只小豬,悲痛絕望的威爾伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命運(yùn)了,然而,看似渺小的夏洛卻說(shuō):“我救你?!庇谑牵穆逵米约旱慕z在豬欄上織?出了被人類(lèi)視為奇跡的網(wǎng)上文字,徹底逆轉(zhuǎn)了威爾伯的命運(yùn),終于讓它在集市的大賽中贏得特別獎(jiǎng),和一個(gè)安享天命的未來(lái)。但,這時(shí),蜘蛛夏洛的生命卻走到了盡?頭……
作者簡(jiǎn)介:
E.B.懷特(1899-1985)生于紐約蒙特弗農(nóng),畢業(yè)于康奈爾大學(xué)。也許你對(duì)美國(guó)作家E.B.?懷特(E.B.White)感到陌生,也許你對(duì)《Charlotte's?Web》(《夏洛的網(wǎng)》)不是很熟悉,但是一提起一部電影《精靈鼠小弟》,你馬上就知道了,這部電影就是根據(jù)E.B.?懷特(E.B.White)的書(shū)改編拍攝的。他還有一部童話叫《吹小號(hào)的天鵝》

№.1?-?A?look?of?complete bewilderment came?over?Mrs.?Zuckerman's?face.
【單詞筆記】bewilderment
【英英釋義】
a?feeling?of?being?very?confused?[=?confusion]
【例】
She?looked?at?him?in?bewilderment.
【舉一反三】
之前一次提到了英語(yǔ)中的名詞作動(dòng)詞使用,這一次就要講講動(dòng)詞做名詞啦!Bewilderment的動(dòng)詞是bewilder,都是令人不解,令人疑惑的意思。不過(guò)這兩個(gè)有什么區(qū)別呢?難道是因?yàn)槊~比較長(zhǎng)?原諒小編又要用感性的方法來(lái)區(qū)別這兩個(gè)詞,動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)態(tài)效果和名詞的狀態(tài)效果可是有大大的不同。Bewilder是因?yàn)槟硞€(gè)東西或者某種原因使人疑竇叢生,這個(gè)動(dòng)作可以是幾秒,幾分,幾小時(shí),它強(qiáng)調(diào)的是令人一瞬間產(chǎn)生對(duì)應(yīng)的感覺(jué)(疑惑)。而bewilderment作為名詞,更強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài),一段時(shí)間里都是疑惑不解的,愁眉不解,黛眉深鎖(咳咳)。總之bewilderment的情緒是長(zhǎng)而持續(xù)的,其效果和bewilder自然有其不同之處。
№.2?-?Just?the?same,?I?intend?to?have?a?look?at?that?spider.
【詞組筆記】intend?to?do?sth.
【英英釋義】
1.?to?have?something?in?your?mind?as?a?plan?or?purpose
2.?to?be?provided?or?designed?for?a?particular?purpose?or?person
3.?the?person,?thing,?result?etc?that?an?action?is?intended?to?affect?or?reach
【例】
1.?I?intend?to?spend?the?night?there.
2.?It?is?intended?that?these?meetings?will?become?a regular event.
3.?The?book?is?intended?for?children?aged?5-7.
【舉一反三】intend?to?do?/?be?likely?to?do
這兩個(gè)詞都是表示可能,傾向于做某事,用法也很像。一定要說(shuō)有什么區(qū)別的話,intend和intention是意向傾向的意思,因此可能做的某事是源自于本身的意愿,而likely只是客觀上的可能性啦。舉例子的話,我?intend?/?be?likely?to?逛街,前者是我自己想去,后者可能要是做什么別的事,然后順便逛個(gè)街啦!
№.3?- All?in?all,?the?Zuckermans'?pigpen?was?the?center?of?attraction.
【詞組筆記】all?in?all
【英英釋義】
with?everything?considered?(and neglecting details)
【近義詞組】
altogether,?on?the?whole, tout ensemble
【例】
All?in?all,?I?'m?sorry?it?happened.
【小編推薦】
還在執(zhí)著于finally,eventually或者是Take?in?consideration?what?is?mentioned的同志們,快把a(bǔ)ll?in?all?收入囊中吧。這個(gè)詞組又簡(jiǎn)單,字母又少,可正式可平民,乃總結(jié)陳詞之上選。中文翻譯就是總而言之,言而總之,是不是很對(duì)稱(chēng)呢?對(duì)了,就是聽(tīng)力碰到這個(gè)詞要當(dāng)心,后面的in?all連讀恐怕是很多人心中的痛吧...
