A Perfect Day for BananafishJ. D. SalingerTHERE WERE ninety-seven New York advertising men in the hotel, and, the way they were monopolizing the long-distance lines, the girl in 507 had to wait from noon till almost two-thirty to get her call through. She used the time, though. She read an article in a women's pocket-size magazine, called "Sex Is Fun-or Hell." She washed her comb and brush. She took the spot out of the skirt of her beige suit. She moved the button on her Saks blouse. She tweezed out two freshly surfaced hairs in her mole. When the operator finally rang her room, she was sitting on the window seat and had almost finished putting lacquer on the nails of her left hand.She was a girl who for a ringing phone dropped exactly nothing. She looked as if her phone had been ringing continually ever since she had reached puberty.With her little lacquer brush, while the phone was ringing, she went over the nail of her little finger, accentuating the line of the moon. She then replaced the cap on the bottle of lacquer and, standing up, passed her left--the wet--hand back and forth through the air. With her dry hand, she picked up a congested ashtray from the window seat and carried it with her over to the night table, on which the phone stood. She sat down on one of the made-up twin beds and--it was the fifth or sixth ring--picked up the phone."Hello," she said, keeping the fingers of her left hand outstretched and away from her white silk dressing gown, which was all that she was wearing, except mules--her rings were in the bathroom."I have your call to New York now, Mrs. Glass," the operator said."Thank you," said the girl, and made room on the night table for the ashtray.A woman's voice came through. "Muriel? Is that you?"The girl turned the receiver slightly away from her ear. "Yes, Mother. How are you?" she said."I've been worried to death about you. Why haven't you phoned? Are you all right?""I tried to get you last night and the night before. The phone here's been--""Are you all right, Muriel?"The girl increased the angle between the receiver and her ear. "I'm fine. I'm hot. This is the hottest day they've had in Florida in--""Why haven't you called me? I've been worried to--""Mother, darling, don't yell at me. I can hear you beautifully," said the girl. "I called you twice last night. Once just after--""I told your father you'd probably call last night. But, no, he had to-Are you all right, Muriel? Tell me the truth.""I'm fine. Stop asking me that, please.""When did you get there?""I don't know. Wednesday morning, early.""Who drove?""He did," said the girl. "And don't get excited. He drove very nicely. I was amazed.""He drove? Muriel, you gave me your word of--""Mother," the girl interrupted, "I just told you. He drove very nicely. Under fifty the whole way, as a matter of fact.""Did he try any of that funny business with the trees?""I said he drove very nicely, Mother. Now, please. I asked him to stay close to the white line, and all, and he knew what I meant, and he did. He was even trying not to look at the trees-you could tell. Did Daddy get the car fixed, incidentally?""Not yet. They want four hundred dollars, just to--""Mother, Seymour told Daddy that he'd pay for it. There's no reason for--""Well, we'll see. How did he behave--in the car and all?""All right," said the girl."Did he keep calling you that awful--""No. He has something new now.""What?""Oh, what's the difference, Mother?""Muriel, I want to know. Your father--""All right, all right. He calls me Miss Spiritual Tramp of 1948," the girl said, and giggled."It isn't funny, Muriel. It isn't funny at all. It's horrible. It's sad, actually. When I think how--""Mother," the girl interrupted, "listen to me. You remember that book he sent me from Germany? You know--those German poems. What'd I do with it? I've been racking my--""You have it.""Are you sure?" said the girl."Certainly. That is, I have it. It's in Freddy's room. You left it here and I didn't have room for it in the--Why? Does he want it?""No. Only, he asked me about it, when we were driving down. He wanted to know if I'd read it.""It was in German!""Yes, dear. That doesn't make any difference," said the girl, crossing her legs. "He said that the poems happen to be written by the only great poet of thecentury. He said I should've bought a translation or something. Or learned the language, if you please.""Awful. Awful. It's sad, actually, is what it is. Your father said last night--""Just a second, Mother," the girl said. She went over to the window seat for her cigarettes, lit one, and returned to her seat on the bed. "Mother?" she said, exhaling smoke."Muriel. Now, listen to me.""I'm listening.""Your father talked to Dr. Sivetski.""Oh?" said the girl."He told him everything. At least, he said he did--you know your father. The trees. That business with the window. Those horrible things he said to Granny about her plans for passing away. What he did with all those lovely pictures from Bermuda--everything.""Well?" said the girl."Well. In the first place, he said it was a perfect crime the Army released him from the hospital--my word of honor. He very definitely told your father there's a chance--a very great chance, he said--that Seymour may completely lose control of himself. My word of honor.""There's a psychiatrist here at the hotel," said the girl."Who? What's his name?""I don't know. Rieser or something. He's supposed to be very good.""Never heard of him.""Well, he's supposed to be very good, anyway.""Muriel, don't be fresh, please. We're very worried about you. Your father wanted to wire you last night to come home, as a matter of f--""I'm not coming home right now, Mother. So relax.""Muriel. My word of honor. Dr. Sivetski said Seymour may completely lose contr-""I just got here, Mother. This is the first vacation I've had in years, and I'm not going to just pack everything and come home," said the girl. "I couldn't travel now anyway. I'm so sunburned I can hardly move.""You're badly sunburned? Didn't you use that jar of Bronze I put in your bag?I put it right--""I used it. I'm burned anyway.""That's terrible. Where are you burned?""All over, dear, all over.""That's terrible.""I'll live.""Tell me, did you talk to this psychiatrist?""Well, sort of," said the girl."What'd he say? Where was Seymour when you talked to him?""In the Ocean Room, playing the piano. He's played the piano both nights we've been here.""Well, what'd he say?""Oh, nothing much. He spoke to me first. I was sitting next to him at Bingo last night, and he asked me if that wasn't my husband playing the piano in the other room. I said yes, it was, and he asked me if Seymour's been sick or something. So I said--""Why'd he ask that?""I don't know, Mother. I guess because he's so pale and all," said the girl. "Anyway, after Bingo he and his wife asked me if I wouldn't like to join them for a drink. So I did. His wife was horrible. You remember that awful dinner dress we saw in Bonwit's window? The one you said you'd have to have a tiny, tiny--""The green?""She had it on. And all hips. She kept asking me if Seymour's related to that Suzanne Glass that has that place on Madison Avenue--the millinery.""What'd he say, though? The doctor.""Oh. Well, nothing much, really. I mean we were in the bar and all. It was terribly noisy.""Yes, but did--did you tell him what he tried to do with Granny's chair?""No, Mother. I didn't go into details very much," said the girl. "I'll probably get a chance to talk to him again. He's in the bar all day long.""Did he say he thought there was a chance he might get--you know--funny or anything? Do something to you!""Not exactly," said the girl. "He had to have more facts, Mother. They have to know about your childhood--all that stuff. I told you, we could hardly talk, it was so noisy in there.""Well. How's your blue coat?""All right. I had some of the padding taken out.""How are the clothes this year?""Terrible. But out of this world. You see sequins--everything," said the girl."How's your room?""All right. Just all right, though. We couldn't get the room we had before the war," said the girl. "The people are awful this year. You should see what sits next to us in the dining room. At the next table. They look as if they drove down in a truck.""Well, it's that way all over. How's your ballerina?""It's too long. I told you it was too long.""Muriel, I'm only going to ask you once more--are you really all right?""Yes, Mother," said the girl. "For the ninetieth time.""And you don't want to come home?""No, Mother.""Your father said last night that he'd be more than willing to pay for it if you'd go away someplace by yourself and think things over. You could take a lovely cruise. We both thought--""No, thanks," said the girl, and uncrossed her legs. "Mother, this call is costing a for--""When I think of how you waited for that boy all through the war-I mean when you think of all those crazy little wives who--""Mother," said the girl, "we'd better hang up. Seymour may come in any minute.""Where is he?""On the beach.""On the beach? By himself? Does he behave himself on the beach?""Mother," said the girl, "you talk about him as though he were a raving maniac--""I said nothing of the kind, Muriel.""Well, you sound that way. I mean all he does is lie there. He won't take his bathrobe off.""He won't take his bathrobe off? Why not?""I don't know. I guess because he's so pale.""My goodness, he needs the sun. Can't you make him?"You know Seymour," said the girl, and crossed her legs again. "He says he doesn't want a lot of fools looking at his tattoo.""He doesn't have any tattoo! Did he get one in the Army?""No, Mother. No, dear," said the girl, and stood up. "Listen, I'll call you tomorrow, maybe.""Muriel. Now, listen to me.""Yes, Mother," said the girl, putting her weight on her right leg."Call me the instant he does, or says, anything at all funny--you know what I mean. Do you hear me?""Mother, I'm not afraid of Seymour.""Muriel, I want you to promise me.""All right, I promise. Goodbye, Mother," said the girl. "My love to Daddy." She hung up."See more glass," said Sybil Carpenter, who was staying at the hotel with her mother. "Did you see more glass?""Pussycat, stop saying that. It's driving Mommy absolutely crazy. Hold still, please."Mrs. Carpenter was putting sun-tan oil on Sybil's shoulders, spreading it down over the delicate, winglike blades of her back. Sybil was sitting insecurely on a huge, inflated beach ball, facing the ocean. She was wearing a canary-yellow two-piece bathing suit, one piece of which she would not actually be needing for another nine or ten years."It was really just an ordinary silk handkerchief--you could see when you got up close," said the woman in the beach chair beside Mrs. Carpenter's. "I wish I knew how she tied it. It was really darling.""It sounds darling," Mrs. Carpenter agreed. "Sybil, hold still, pussy.""Did you see more glass?" said Sybil.Mrs. Carpenter sighed. "All right," she said. She replaced the cap on the sun-tan oil bottle. "Now run and play, pussy. Mommy's going up to the hotel and have a Martini with Mrs. Hubbel. I'll bring you the olive."Set loose, Sybil immediately ran down to the flat part of the beach and began to walk in the direction of Fisherman's Pavilion. Stopping only to sink a foot in a soggy, collapsed castle, she was soon out of the area reserved for guests of the hotel.She walked for about a quarter of a mile and then suddenly broke into an oblique run up the soft part of the beach. She stopped short when she reached the place where a young man was lying on his back."Are you going in the water, see more glass?" she said.The young man started, his right hand going to the lapels of his terry-cloth robe. He turned over on his stomach, letting a sausaged towel fall away from his eyes, and squinted up at Sybil."Hey. Hello, Sybil.""Are you going in the water?""I was waiting for you," said the young man. "What's new?""What?" said Sybil."What's new? What's on the program?""My daddy's coming tomorrow on a nairiplane," Sybil said, kicking sand."Not in my face, baby," the young man said, putting his hand on Sybil's ankle. "Well, it's about time he got here, your daddy. I've been expecting him hourly. Hourly.""Where's the lady?" Sybil said."The lady?" the young man brushed some sand out of his thin hair. "That's hard to say, Sybil. She may be in any one of a thousand places. At the hairdresser's. Having her hair dyed mink. Or making dolls for poor children, in her room." Lying prone now, he made two fists, set one on top of the other, and rested his chin on the top one. "Ask me something else, Sybil," he said. "That's a fine bathing suit you have on. If there's one thing I like, it's a blue bathing suit."Sybil stared at him, then looked down at her protruding stomach. "This is a yellow," she said. "This is a yellow.""It is? Come a little closer." Sybil took a step forward. "You're absolutely right. What a fool I am.""Are you going in the water?" Sybil said."I'm seriously considering it. I'm giving it plenty of thought, Sybil, you'll be glad to know."Sybil prodded the rubber float that the young man sometimes used as a head-rest. "It needs air," she said."You're right. It needs more air than I'm willing to admit." He took away his fists and let his chin rest on the sand. "Sybil," he said, "you're looking fine. It's good to see you. Tell me about yourself." He reached in front of him and took both of Sybil's ankles in his hands. "I'm Capricorn," he said. "What are you?""Sharon Lipschutz said you let her sit on the piano seat with you," Sybil said."Sharon Lipschutz said that?"Sybil nodded vigorously.He let go of her ankles, drew in his hands, and laid the side of his face on his right forearm. "Well," he said, "you know how those things happen, Sybil. I was sitting there, playing. And you were nowhere in sight. And Sharon Lipschutz came over and sat down next to me. I couldn't push her off, could I?""Yes.""Oh, no. No. I couldn't do that," said the young man. "I'll tell you what I did do, though.""What?""I pretended she was you."Sybil immediately stooped and began to dig in the sand. "Let's go in the water," she said."All right," said the young man. "I think I can work it in.""Next time, push her off," Sybil said. "Push who off?""Sharon Lipschutz.""Ah, Sharon Lipschutz," said the young man. "How that name comes up. Mixing memory and desire." He suddenly got to his feet. He looked at the ocean. "Sybil," he said, "I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll see if we can catch a bananafish.""A what?""A bananafish," he said, and undid the belt of his robe. He took off the robe. His shoulders were white and narrow, and his trunks were royal blue. He folded the robe, first lengthwise, then in thirds. He unrolled the towel he had used over his eyes, spread it out on the sand, and then laid the folded robe on top of it. He bent over, picked up the float, and secured it under his right arm. Then, with his left hand, he took Sybil's hand.The two started to walk down to the ocean."I imagine you've seen quite a few bananafish in your day," the young man said.Sybil shook her head."You haven't? Where do you live, anyway?""I don't know," said Sybil."Sure you know. You must know. Sharon Lipschutz knows where she lives and she's only three and a half."Sybil stopped walking and yanked her hand away from him. She picked up an ordinary beach shell and looked at it with elaborate interest. She threw it down. "Whirly Wood, Connecticut," she said, and resumed walking, stomach foremost."Whirly Wood, Connecticut," said the young man. "Is that anywhere near Whirly Wood, Connecticut, by any chance?"Sybil looked at him. "That's where I live," she said impatiently. "I live in Whirly Wood, Connecticut." She ran a few steps ahead of him, caught up her left foot in her left hand, and hopped two or three times."You have no idea how clear that makes everything," the young man said.Sybil released her foot. "Did you read `Little Black Sambo'?" she said."It's very funny you ask me that," he said. "It so happens I just finished reading it last night." He reached down and took back Sybil's hand. "What did you think of it?" he asked her."Did the tigers run all around that tree?""I thought they'd never stop. I never saw so many tigers.""There were only six," Sybil said."Only six!" said the young man. "Do you call that only?""Do you like wax?" Sybil asked."Do I like what?" asked the young man. "Wax.""Very much. Don't you?"Sybil nodded. "Do you like olives?" she asked."Olives--yes. Olives and wax. I never go anyplace without 'em.""Do you like Sharon Lipschutz?" Sybil asked."Yes. Yes, I do," said the young man. "What I like particularly about her is that she never does anything mean to little dogs in the lobby of the hotel. That little toy bull that belongs to that lady from Canada, for instance. You probably won't believe this, but some little girls like to poke that little dog with balloon sticks. Sharon doesn't. She's never mean or unkind. That's why I like her so much."Sybil was silent."I like to chew candles," she said finally."Who doesn't?" said the young man, getting his feet wet. "Wow! It's cold." He dropped the rubber float on its back. "No, wait just a second, Sybil. Wait'll we get out a little bit."They waded out till the water was up to Sybil's waist. Then the young man picked her up and laid her down on her stomach on the float."Don't you ever wear a bathing cap or anything?" he asked."Don't let go," Sybil ordered. "You hold me, now.""Miss Carpenter. Please. I know my business," the young man said. "You just keep your eyes open for any bananafish. This is a perfect day for bananafish.""I don't see any," Sybil said."That's understandable. Their habits are very peculiar." He kept pushing the float. The water was not quite up to his chest. "They lead a very tragic life," he said. "You know what they do, Sybil?"She shook her head."Well, they swim into a hole where there's a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I've known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy-eight bananas." He edged the float and its passenger a foot closer to the horizon. "Naturally, after that they're so fat they can't get out of the hole again. Can't fit through the door.""Not too far out," Sybil said. "What happens to them?""What happens to who?""The bananafish.""Oh, you mean after they eat so many bananas they can't get out of the banana hole?""Yes," said Sybil."Well, I hate to tell you, Sybil. They die.""Why?" asked Sybil."Well, they get banana fever. It's a terrible disease.""Here comes a wave," Sybil said nervously."We'll ignore it. We'll snub it," said the young man. "Two snobs." He took Sybil's ankles in his hands and pressed down and forward. The float nosed over the top of the wave. The water soaked Sybil's blond hair, but her scream was full of pleasure.With her hand, when the float was level again, she wiped away a flat, wet band of hair from her eyes, and reported, "I just saw one.""Saw what, my love?""A bananafish.""My God, no!" said the young man. "Did he have any bananas in his mouth?""Yes," said Sybil. "Six."The young man suddenly picked up one of Sybil's wet feet, which were drooping over the end of the float, and kissed the arch."Hey!" said the owner of the foot, turning around."Hey, yourself We're going in now. You had enough?""No!""Sorry," he said, and pushed the float toward shore until Sybil got off it. He carried it the rest of the way."Goodbye," said Sybil, and ran without regret in the direction of the hotel.The young man put on his robe, closed the lapels tight, and jammed his towel into his pocket. He picked up the slimy wet, cumbersome float and put it under his arm. He plodded alone through the soft, hot sand toward the hotel.On the sub-main floor of the hotel, which the management directed bathers to use, a woman with zinc salve on her nose got into the elevator with the young man."I see you're looking at my feet," he said to her when the car was in motion."I beg your pardon?" said the woman."I said I see you're looking at my feet.""I beg your pardon. I happened to be looking at the floor," said the woman, and faced the doors of the car."If you want to look at my feet, say so," said the young man. "But don't be a God-damned sneak about it.""Let me out here, please," the woman said quickly to the girl operating the car.The car doors opened and the woman got out without looking back."I have two normal feet and I can't see the slightest God-damned reason why anybody should stare at them," said the young man. "Five, please." He took his room key out of his robe pocket.He got off at the fifth floor, walked down the hall, and let himself into 507. The room smelled of new calfskin luggage and nail-lacquer remover.He glanced at the girl lying asleep on one of the twin beds. Then he went over to one of the pieces of luggage, opened it, and from under a pile of shorts and undershirts he took out an Ortgies calibre 7.65 automatic. He released the magazine, looked at it, then reinserted it. He cocked the piece. Then he went over and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, looked at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple.。

a perfect day for bananafish读后感
作为一篇经典的短篇小说，J.D. Salinger的《一个完美的闹猴
猴的日子》深刻描绘了一个战争幸存者和他曾经的精神状态之间的断裂。
作为读者，我被Salinger的独特写作风格，深刻的
主题和细致的描绘所吸引，对这个故事产生了深深的共情。
主角西蒙的形象是真实的，让人不寒而栗。
即使是整个故事中的角色都是虚构的，他的却充满了真实感。
他所经历的战争噩梦、他的各种心理问题、他对这个世界的怀疑和不信任，都使他成为一个真正能够引起读者共鸣的角色。
与此同时，故事中另一个主角，墨林夫人，是一个完美的对比。
她是一位开朗、慈祥的女性，看起来完全没有西蒙那样黑暗的过去和问题。
她与西蒙之间的对比，更加突出了西蒙内心的孤独和痛苦。
通过这个故事，Salinger深刻地揭示了战争对人类的影响，特
别是对那些幸存者的影响。
故事中西蒙的表现就是一个突出的例子。
同时，他表达了对真实性和自我融合的渴望。
故事结尾那悲伤的场景，给我留下了深刻的印象。
在这个故事中，Salinger使我们冷静深入地反思人性。
总之，《一个完美的闹猴猴的日子》是一个力度深刻的故事，它强调人与人之间因心理问题和时代差异而造成的断裂，让人察觉到人性的脆弱和复杂。
这个故事不仅让我看到了人类的一个面向和一个色彩，也提醒我们更加留意身边的人及事物，加深相互间的理解和体谅。

A Perfect Day for BananafishBy J.D. SalingerThere were ninety-seven New York advertising men in the hotel, and, the way they were monopolizing the long-distance lines, the girl in 507 had to wait from noontill almost two-thirty to get her call through. She used the time, though. She read an article in a women’s pocket-size magazine, called "Sex Is Fun - or Hell." She washed her comb and brush. She took the spot out of the skirt of her beige suit.

She kept asking me if Seymour’s related to that Suzanne Glass that has that place on Madison Avenue - the millinery.""What’d he say, though? The doctor.""Oh. Well, nothing much, really. I mean we were in the bar and all. It was terribly noisy.""Yes, but did - did you tell him what he tried to do with Granny’s chair?""No, Mother. I didn’t go into details very much," said the girl. "I’II probably get a chance to talk to him again. He’s in the bar all day long.""Did he say he thought there was a chance he might get - you know - funny or anything? Do something to you!""Not exactly," said the girl. "He had to have more facts, Mother. They have to know about your childhood - all that stuff. I told you, we could hardly talk, it was so noisy in there.""Well. How’s your blue coat?""All right. I had some of the padding taken out.""How are the clothes this year?""Terrible. But out of this world. You see sequins – everything," said the girl."How’s your room?""All right. Just all right, though. We couldn’t get the room we had before the war,"’ said the girl. "The people are awful this year. You should see what sits next to us in the dining room. At the next table. They look as if they drove down in a truck."‘Well, it’s that way all over. How’s your ballerina?""It’s too long. I told you it was too long.""Muriel, I’m only going to ask you once more - are you really all right?""Yes, Mother," said the girl. "For the ninetieth time.""And you don’t want to come home?""No, Mother.""Your father said last night that he’d be more than willing to pay for it if you’d go away some place by yourself and think things over. You could take a lovely cruise. We both thought –.""No, thanks," said the girl, and uncrossed her legs. "Mother, this call is costing a for-""When I think of how you waited for that boy all through the war - I mean when you think of all those crazy little wives who—.""Mother," said the girl, "we’d better hang up. Seymour may come in any minute.""Where is he?""On the beach.""On the beach? By himself? Does he behave himself on the beach?""Mother," said the girl, "you talk about him as though he were a raving maniac - ""I said nothing of the kind, Muriel.""Well, you sound that way. I mean all he does is lie there. He won’t take his bathrobe off.""He won’t take his bathrobe off? Why not?""I don’t know. I guess because he’s so pale.""My goodness, he needs the sun. Can’t you make him?""You know Seymour," said the girl, and crossed her legs again. "He says he doesn’t want a lot of fools looking at his tattoo.""He doesn’t have any tatoo! Did he get one in the Army?""No, Mother. No, dear," said the girl, and stood up. "Listen, I’ll call you tomorrow, maybe.""Muriel. Now, listen to me.""Yes, Mother," said the girl, putting her weight on her right leg."Call me the instant he does, or says, anything at all funny – you know what I mean. Do you hear me?""Mother, I’m not afraid of Seymour.""Muriel, I want you to promise me.""All right, I promise. Goodbye, Mother," said the girl. "My love to Daddy." She hung up."See more glass," said Sybil Carpenter, who was staying at the hotel with her mother. "Did you see more glass?""Pussycat, stop saying that. It’s driving Mommy absolutely crazy. Hold still, please."Mrs. Carpenter was putting sun-tan oil on Sybil’s shoulders, spreading it down over the delicate, wing-like blades of her back. Sybil was sitting insecurely on a huge, inflated beach ball, facing the ocean. She was wearing a canary-yellow two-piece bathing suit, one piece of which she would not actually be needing for another nine or ten years."It was really just an ordinary silk handkerchief -you could see when you got up close," said the woman in the beach chair beside Mrs. Carpenter’s "I wish I knew how she tied it. It was really darling.""It sounds darling," Mrs. Carpenter agreed. "Sybil, hold still, pussy.""Did you see more glass?" said Sybil.Mrs. Carpenter sighed. "All right," she said. She replaced the cap on the sun-tan oil bottle. "Now run and play, pussy. Mommy’s going up to the hotel and have a Martini with Mrs. Hubbel. I’ll bring you the olive."Set loose, Sybil immediately ran down to the flat part of the beach and began to walk in the direction of Fisherman’s Pavilion. Stopping only to sink a foot in a soggy, collapsed castle, she was soon out of the area reserved for guests of the hotel.She walked for about a quarter of a mile and then suddenly broke into an oblique run up the soft part of the beach. She stopped short when she reached the place where a young man was lying on his back."Are you going in the water, see more glass?" she said.The young man started, his right hand going to the lapels of his terry-cloth robe. He turned over on his stomach, letting a sausaged towel fall away from his eyes, and squinted up at Sybil."Hey. Hello, Sybil.""Are you going in the water?’"I was waiting for you," said the young man. "What’s new?""What?" said Sybil."What’s new? What’s on the program?""My daddy’s coming tomorrow on a airplane," Sybil said, kicking sand."Not in my face, baby," the young man said, putting his hand on Sybil’s ankle. "Well, it’s about time he got here, your daddy. I’ve been expecting him hourly. Hourly.""Where’s the lady?" Sybil said."The lady?" The young man brushed some sand out of his thin hair. "That’s hard to say, Sybil. She may be in any one of a thousand places. At the hairdresser’s. Having her hair dyed mink. Or making dolls for poor children, in her room." Lying prone now, he made two fists, set one on top of the other, and rested his chin on the top one. "Ask me something else, Sybil," he said. "That’s a fine bathing suit you have on. If there’s one thing I like, it’s a blue bathing suit."Sybil stared at him, then looked down at her protruding stomach. "This is a yellow," she said. "This is a yellow.""It is? Come a little closer."Sybil took a step forward."You’re absolutely right. What a fool I am.""Are you going in the water?" Sybil said."I’m seriously considering it. I’m giving it plenty of thought, Sybil, you’ll be glad to know."Sybil prodded the rubber float that the young man sometimes used as a head-rest."It needs air," she said."You’re right.It needs more air than I’m willing to admit." He took away hisfists and let his chin rest on the sand. "Sybil," he said, "you’re looking fine. It’s good to see you. Tell me about yourself." He reached in front of him and took both of Sybil’s ankles in his hands. "I’m Capricorn," he said. "What are you?""Sharon Lipschutz said you let her sit on the piano seat with you," Sybil said."Sharon Lipschutz said that?"Sybil nodded vigorously.He let go of her ankles, drew in his hands, and laid the side of his face on his right forearm. "Well," he said, "you know how those things happen, Sybil. I was sitting there, playing. And you were nowhere in sight. And Sharon Lipschutz came over and sat down next to me. I couldn’t push her off, could I?""Yes.""Oh, no. No. I couldn’t do that," said the young man. I’II tell you what I did do, though.""What?""I pretended she was you."Sybil immediately stooped and began to dig in the sand. "Let’s go in the water," she said."All right," said the young man. "I think I can work it in.""Next time, push her off," Sybil said."Push who off?""Sharon Lipschutz.""Ah, Sharon Lipschutz," said the young man. "How that name comes up. Mixing memory and desire." He suddenly got to his feet. He looked at the ocean. "Sybil," he said, "I’ll tell you what we’ll do. Well see if we can catch a bananafish.""A what?""A bananafish," he said, and undid the belt of his robe. He took off the robe. His shoulders were white and narrow, and his trunks were royal blue. He folded the robe, first lengthwise, then in thirds. He unrolled the towel he had used over his eyes, spread it out on the sand, and then laid the folded robe on top of it. He bent over, picked up the float, and secured it under his right arm. Then, with his left hand, he took Sybil’s hand.The two started to walk down to the ocean."I imagine you’ve seen quite a few bananafish in your day," the young man said.Sybil shook her head."You haven’t? Where do you live, anyway?""I don’t know," said Sybil."Sure you know. You must know. Sharon Lipschutz knows where she lives and she’s only three and a half."Sybil stopped walking and yanked her hand away from him. She picked up an ordinary beach shell and looked at it with elaborate interest. She threw it down. "Whirly Wood, Connecticut," she said, and resumed walking, stomach foremost."Whirly Wood, Connecticut," said the young man. "Is that anywhere near Whirly Wood, Connecticut, by any chance?"Sybil looked at him. "That’s where I live," she said impatiently. "I live in Whirly Wood, Connecticut." She ran a few steps ahead of him, caught up her left foot in her left hand, and hopped two or three times."You have no idea how clear that makes everything," the young man said.Sybil released her foot. "Did you read ‘Little Black Sambo’?" she said."It’s very funny you ask me that," he said. ‘It so happens I just finished reading it last night." He reached down and took back Sybil’s hand. "What did you think of it?" he asked her."Did the tigers run all around that tree?""I thought they’d never stop. I never saw so many tigers.""There were only six," Sybil said."Only six!" said the young man. "Do you call that only?""Do you like wax?" Sybil asked."Do I like what?" asked the young man."Wax.""Very much. Don’t you?"Sybil nodded. "Do you like olives?" she asked."Olives - yes. Olives and wax. I never go anyplace without ‘em.""Do you like Sharon Lipschutz?" Sybil asked."Yes. Yes, I do," said the young man. "What I like particularly about her is that she never does anything mean to little dogs in the lobby of the hotel. That little toy bull that belongs to that lady from Canada, for instance. You probably won’t believe this, but some little girls like to poke that little dog with balloon sticks. Sharon doesn’t. She’s never mean or unkind. That’s why I like her so much."Sybil was silent."I like to chew candles," she said finally."Who doesn’t?" said the young man, getting his feet wet. "Wow! It’s cold." He dropped the rubber float on its back. "No, wait just a second, Sybil. Wait’ll we get out a little bit."They waded out till the water was up to Sybil’s waist. Then the young man picked her up and laid her down on her stomach on the float."Don’t you ever wear a bathing cap or anything?" he asked."Don’t let go," Sybil ordered. "You hold me, now.""Miss Carpenter. Please. I know my business," the young man said. "You just keep your eyes open for any bananafish. This is a perfect day for bananafish."I don’t see any," Sybil said."That’s understandable. Their habits are very peculiar. Very peculiar." He kept pushing the float. The water was not quite up to his chest."They lead a very tragic life," he said. "You know what they do, Sybil?"She shook her head."Well, they swim into a hole where there’s a lot of bananas. They’re very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I’ve known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy-eight bananas." He edged the float and its passenger a foot closer to the horizon. "Naturally, after that they’re so fat they can’t get out of the hole again. Can’t fit through the door.""Not too far out," Sybil said, "What happens to them?""What happens to who?""The bananafish.""Oh, you mean after they eat so many bananas they can’t get out of the banana hole?""Yes," said Sybil."Well, I hate to tell you, Sybil. They die.""Why?" asked Sybil."Well, they get banana fever. It’s a terrible disease.""Here comes a wave," Sybil said nervously."We’ll ignore it. Well snub it," said the young man. "Two snobs." He took Sybil’s ankles in his hands and pressed down and forward. The float nosed over the top of the wave. The water soaked Sybil’s blond hair, but her scream was full of pleasure.With her hand, when the float was level again, she wiped away a flat, wet band of hair from her eyes, and reported, "I just saw one.""Saw what, my love?""A bananafish.""My God, no!" said the young man. "Did he have any bananas in his mouth?""Yes," said Sybil. "Six."The young man suddenly picked up one of Sybil’s wet feet, which were drooping over the end of the float, and kissed the arch."Hey!" said the owner of the foot, turning around.‘Hey, yourself! We’re going in now. You had enough?""No!""Sorry," he said, and pushed the float toward the shore until Sybil got off it. He carried it the rest of the way."Goodbye," said Sybil, and ran without regret in the direction of the hotel.The young man put on his robe, closed the lapels tight, and jammed his towel into his pocket. He picked up the slimy, wet, cumbersome float and put it under his arm. He plodded alone through the soft, hot sand toward the hotel.On the sub-main floor of the hotel, which the management directed bathers to use, a woman with zinc salve on her nose got into the elevator with the young man."I see you are looking at my feet," he said to her when the car was in motion."I beg your pardon?" said the woman."I said I see you’re looking at my feet.""I beg your pardon. I happened to be looking at the floor," said the woman, and faced the doors of the car."If you want to look at my feet, say so," said the young man. "But don’t be a God-damned sneak about it.""Let me out here, please," the woman said quickly to the girl operating the car.The car doors opened and the woman got out without looking back."I have two normal feet and I can’t see the slightest God-damned reason why anybody should stare at them," said the young man. "Five, please." He took his room key out of his robe pocket.He got off at the fifth floor, walked down the hall, and let himself into 507. The room smelled of new calfskin luggage and nail-lacquer remover.He glanced at the girl lying asleep on one of the twin beds. Then he went over to one of the pieces of luggage, opened it, and from under a pile of shorts and undershirts he took out an Ortgies calibre 7.65 automatic. He released the magazine, looked at it, then reinserted it. He cocked the piece. Then he went over and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, looked at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple.。

[Example] A ladder is used to help people to reach the things high above. A simple ladder is made of wood or bamboo with two shafts（轴， 杆状物） and pieces of rungs（横档）. Shafts are cylindrical（圆 柱状的） in shape, its length is the ladder’s length. The two shafts go parallel. Rungs are bar-shaped, usually about one third of a metre long and somewhat tapering at the two ends so that they can be fixed into the shafts’ hole. There are about a step’s distance between the rungs. If you want to reach the things high or hang something on the wall, you just put the ladder against the wall, and climb up the ladder steps.

你是否喜欢吃香蕉英语作文
你是否喜欢吃香蕉英语作文Do you like bananas? This is a question that many people ask each other when they meet for the first time. Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world and are loved by people of all ages. But do I like bananas? Well, the answer is yes, I do.Firstly, bananas are a great source of energy. They are rich in carbohydrates, which are essential for our bodies to function properly. Bananas are also a good source of fiber, which helps to keep our digestive system healthy. They are also a good source of potassium, which is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure.Secondly, bananas are easy to eat. They come in their own natural packaging, which makes them convenient to carry around and eat on the go. You don't need a knife or a plate to eat a banana, which makes them a perfect snack for busy people.Thirdly, bananas are versatile. You can eat them on their own, or you can add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt. You can also use them in baking, such as banana bread or muffins. This makes bananas a great ingredient to have in your kitchen.Lastly, bananas are delicious. They have a sweet, creamy flavor that is hard to resist. They are also a great addition to desserts, such as banana splits or banana cream pie.In conclusion, I love bananas for their energy-boosting properties, convenience, versatility, and delicious taste. They are a healthy and tasty snack that I will continue to enjoy for years to come.。

A Perfect Day for BananafishBy J.D. SalingerThere were ninety-seven New York advertising men in the hotel, and, the way they were monopolizing the long-distance lines, the girl in 507 had to wait from noon till almost two-thirty to get her call through. She used the time, though. She read an article in a women' s pocket-size magazine, called "Sex Is Fun - or Hell." She washed her b and brush. She took the spot out of the skirt of her beige suit. She moved the button on her Saks blouse. She tweezed out two freshly surfaced hairs in her mole. When the operator finally rang her room, she was sitting on the window seat and had almost finished putting lacquer on the nails of her left hand.She was a girl who for a ringing phone dropped exactly nothing. She looked as if her phone had been ringing continually ever since she had reached puberty.With her little lacquer brush, while the phone was ringing, she went over the nail of her little finger, accentuating the line of the moon. She then replaced the cap on the bottle of lacquer and, standing up, passed her left —the wet —hand back and forththrough the air. With her dry hand, she picked up a congested ashtray from the window seat and carried it with her over to the night table, on which the phone stood. She sat down on one of the made-up twin beds and —it was the fifth or sixth ring —picked up the phone."Hello," she said, keeping the fingers of her left hand outstretched and away from her white silk dressing gown, which was all that she was wearing, except mules —her rings were in the bathroom."I have your call to New York now, Mrs. Glass," the operator said."Thank you," said the girl, and made room on the night table for the ashtray.A woman' s voice came through. "Muriel? Is that you?"The girl turned the receiver slightly away from her ear. "Yes, Mother. How are you?" she said."I 've been worried to death about you. Why haven 't you phoned? Are you all right?""I tried to get you last night and the night before. The phone here ' s been —.""Are you all right, Muriel?"The girl increased the angle between the receiver and her ear. "I ' m fine. I ' m hot.This is the hottest day they 've had in Florida in --.""Why haven ' t you called me? I ' ve been worried to - -.""Mother, darling, don' t yell at me. I can hear you beautifully," said the girl. I called you twice last night. Once just after - -."I told your father you ' d probably call last night. But, no, he had to - Are you allright Muriel? Tell me the truth.""I ' m fine. Stop asking me that, please.""When did you get there?""I don ' t know. Wednesday morning, early.""Who drove?""He did," said the girl. "And don ' t get excited. He drove very nicely. I was amazed.""He drove? Muriel, you gave me your word of -."" Mother," the girl interrupted, "I just told you. He drove very nicely. Under fiftythe whole way, as a matter of fact.""Did he try any of that funny business with the trees?""I said he drove very nicely, Mother. Now, please. I asked him to stay close to the white line, and all, and he knew what I meant, and he did. He was even trying not to look at the trees - you could tell. Did Daddy get the car fixed, incidentally?"Not yet. They want four hundred dollars, just to--.""Mother, Seymour told Daddy that he ' d pay for it. There ' s no reason for --.""Well, well see. How did he behave —in the car and all?""All right," said the girl."Did he keep calling you that awful--.""No. He has something new now.""What?""Oh, what ' s the difference, Mother?"Muriel, I want to know. Your father--.""All right, all right. He calls me Miss Spiritual Tramp of 1948," the girl said, and giggled."It isn ' t funny, Muriel. It isn ' t funny at all. It ' s horrible. It ' s sad, actually. When I think how--""Mother," the girl interrupted, "listen to me. You remember that book he sent me fromGermany? You know, those German poems. What ' d I do with it? I ' ve been racking my-.""You have it."‘ Are you sure?" said the girl."Certainly. That is, I have it. It ' s in Freddy ' s room. You left it here and I didn ' t have room for it in the —Why? Does he want it?""No. Only, he asked me about it, when we were driving down. He wanted to know if I ' d read it.""It was in German!""Yes, dear. That doesn 't make any difference," said the girl, crossing her legs. "Hesaid that the poems happen to be written by the only great poet of the century. He said I should ' ve bought a translation or something. Or learned the language, if you please.""Awful. Awful. It 's sad, actually, is what it is. Your father said last night —.""Just a second, Mother," the girl said. She went over to the window seat for hercigarettes, lit one, and returned to her seat on the bed. "Mother", she said, exhaling smoke."Muriel. Now, listen to me.""I 'm listening.""Your father talked to Dr. Sivetski.""Oh?" said the girl."He told him everything. At least, he said he did —you know your father. The trees.That business with the window. Those horrible things he said to Granny about her plans for passing away. What he did with all those lovely pictures from Bermuda—everything.""Well?" said the girl."Well. In the first place, he said it was a perfect crime the Army released him fromthe hospital —my word of honor. He very definitely told your father there ' s a chanee-a very great chanee, he said, that Seymour may pletely lose eontrol of himself. Myword of honor.""There ' s a psychiatrist here at the hotel," said the girl."Who? What' s his name?""I don ' t know. Rieser or something. He ' s supposed to be very good.""Never heard of him."Well, he ' s supposed to be very good, anyway.""Muriel, don ' t be fresh, please. We ' re very worried about you. Your father wantedto wire you last night to e home, as a matter of f —.""I ' m not ing home right now, Mother. So relax.""Muriel. My word of honor. Dr. Sivetski said Seymour may pletely lose contr —."‘I just got here, Mother. This is the first vacation I 've had in years, and I 'm not going to just pack everything and e home," said the girl. "I couldn 't travel now anyway. I ' m so sunburned I can hardly move.""You ' re badly sunburned? Didn 't you use that far of Bronze I put in your bag? I putit right —.""I used it. I ' m burned anyway.""That ' s terrible. Where are you burned?""All over, dear, all over.""That 's terrible.""I 'll live.""Tell me, did you talk to this psychiatrist? '"Well, sort of," said the girl."What ' d he say? Where was Seymour when you talked to him?""In the Ocean Room, playing the piano. He ' s played the piano both nights we ' ve been here.""Well, what 'd he say?""Oh. Nothing much. He spoke to me first. I was sitting next to him at Bingo last night, and he asked me if that wasn ' t my husband playing the piano in the other room. I saidyes, it was, and he asked me if Seymour ' s been sick or something. So I said —" "Why' d he ask that?""I don' t know, Mother. I guess because he' s so pale and all," said the girl. "Anyway, after Bingo he and his wife asked me if I wouldn ' t like to join them for a drink. SoI did. His wife was horrible. You remember that awful dinner dress we saw in Bonwit ' s window? The one you said you ' d have to have a tiny, tiny —.""The green?""She had it on. And all hips. She kept asking me if Seymour ' s related to that SuzanneGlass that has that place on Madison Avenue - the millinery.""What' d he say, though? The doctor.""Oh. Well, nothing much, really. I mean we were in the bar and all. It was terriblynoisy.""Yes, but did - did you tell him what he tried to do with Granny ' s chair?""No, Mother. I didn 't go into details very much," said the girl. "I 'II probably get a chance to talk to him again. He ' s in the bar all day long.""Did he say he thought there was a chance he might get - you know - funny or anything?Do something to you!""Not exactly," said the girl. "He had to have more facts, Mother. They have to knowabout your childhood - all that stuff. I told you, we could hardly talk, it was so noisy in there.""Well. How ' s your blue coat?""All right. I had some of the padding taken out.""How are the clothes this year?""Terrible. But out of this world. You see sequins - everything," said the girl."How's your room?""All right. Just all right, though. We couldn 't get the room we had before the war,"said the girl. "The people are awful this year. You should see what sits next to us in the dining room. At the next table. They look as if they drove down in a truck."‘ Well, it 's that way all over. How 's your ballerina?""It 's too long. I told you it was too long.""Muriel, I 'm only going to ask you once more - are you really all right?""Yes, Mother," said the girl. "For the ninetieth time.""And you don 't want to e home?""No, Mother.""Your father said last night that he 'd be more than willing to pay for it if youd go away some place by yourself and think things over. You could take a lovely cruise. We both thought -.""No, thanks," said the girl, and uncrossed her legs. "Mother, this call is costing afor-""When I think of how you waited for that boy all through the war - I mean when you think of all those crazy little wives who —.""Where is he?" "On the beach.""On the beach? By himself? Does he behave himself on the beach?""Mother," said the girl, "you talk about him as though he were a raving maniac - ""I said nothing of the kind, Muriel.""Well, you sound that way. I mean all he does is lie there. He won' t take his bathrobe off.""He won ' t take his bathrobe off? Why not?""I don 't know. I guess because he 's so pale.""My goodness, he needs the sun. Can ' t you make him?""You know Seymour," said the girl, and crossed her legs again. "He says he doesn ' t want a lot of fools looking at his tattoo.""He doesn ' t have any tatoo! Did he get one in the Army?""No, Mother. No, dear," said the girl, and stood up. "Listen, I ' ll call you tomorrow, maybe.""Muriel. Now, listen to me.""Yes, Mother," said the girl, putting her weight on her right leg."Call me the instant he does, or says, anything at all funny - you know what I mean.Do you hear me?""Mother, I 'm not afraid of Seymour.""Muriel, I want you to promise me.""All right, I promise. Goodbye, Mother," said the girl. "My love to Daddy." She hung up."See more glass," said Sybil Carpenter, who was staying at the hotel with her mother."Did you see more glass?""Pussycat, stop saying that. It ' s driving Mommyabsolutely crazy. Hold still, please."Mrs. Carpenter was putting sun-tan oil on Sybil 's shoulders, spreading it down overthe delicate, wing-like blades of her back. Sybil was sitting insecurely on a huge, inflated beach ball, facing the ocean. She was wearing a canary-yellow two-piece bathing suit, one piece of which she would not actually be needing for another nine or ten years."It was really just an ordinary silk handkerchief -you could see when you got up close," said the woman in the beach chair beside Mrs. Carpenter ' s "I wish I knew how she tiedit. It was really darling.""It sounds darling," Mrs. Carpenter agreed. "Sybil, hold still, pussy.""Did you see more glass?" said Sybil.Mrs. Carpenter sighed. "All right," she said. She replaced the cap on the sun-tan oilbottle. "Now run and play, pussy. Mommy ' s going up to the hotel and have a Martiniwith Mrs. Hubbel. I ' ll bring you the olive."Set loose, Sybil immediately ran down to the flat part of the beach and began to walkin the direction of Fisherman 's Pavilion. Stopping only to sink a foot in a soggy,collapsed castle, she was soon out of the area reserved for guests of the hotel.She walked for about a quarter of a mile and then suddenly broke into an oblique runup the soft part of the beach. She stopped short when she reached the place where a young man was lying on his back."Are you going in the water, see more glass?" she said.The young man started, his right hand going to the lapels of his terry-cloth robe. He turned over on his stomach, letting a sausaged towel fall away from his eyes, and squinted up at Sybil."Hey. Hello, Sybil.""Are you going in the water? '"I was waiting for you," said the young man. "What ' s new?""What?" said Sybil."What ' s new? What 's on the program?""My daddy ' s ing tomorrow on a airplane," Sybil said, kicking sand."Not in my face, baby," the young man said, putting his hand on Sybil ' s ankle. "Well,it ' s about time he got here, your daddy. I ' ve been expecting him hourly. Hourly.""Where ' s the lady?" Sybil said."The lady?" The young man brushed some sand out of his thin hair. "That 's hard to say, Sybil. She may be in any one of a thousand places. At the hairdresser ' s. Having herhair dyed mink. Or making dolls for poor children, in her room." Lying prone now, he made two fists, set one on top of the other, and rested his chin on the top one. "Askme something else, Sybil," he said. "That 's a fine bathing suit you have on. If there s one thing I like, it ' s a blue bathing suit."yellow," Sybil stared at him, then looked down at her protruding stomach. "This is a she said. "This is a yellow.""It is? e a little closer."Sybil took a step forward."You ' re absolutely right. What a fool I am.""Are you going in the water?" Sybil said."I 'm seriously considering it. I 'm giving it plenty of thought, Sybil, you 'll beglad to know."Sybil prodded the rubber float that the young man sometimes used as a head-rest. "It needs air," she said."You ' re right. It needs more air than I ' m willing to admit." He took away his fistsand let his chin rest on the sand. "Sybil," he said, "you 're looking fine. It 's goodto see you. Tell me about yourself." He reached in front of him and took both of Sybil s ankles in his hands. "I ' m Capricorn," he said. "What are you?""Sharon Lipschutz said you let her sit on the piano seat with you," Sybil said."Sharon Lipschutz said that?"Sybil nodded vigorously.He let go of her ankles, drew in his hands, and laid the side of his face on his rightforearm. "Well," he said, "you know how those things happen, Sybil. I was sitting there, playing. And you were nowhere in sight. And Sharon Lipschutz came over and sat down next to me. I couldn 't push her off, could I?""Yes.""Oh, no. No. I couldn ' t do that," said the young man. I ' II tell you what I did do, though.""What?""I pretended she was you."Sybil immediately stooped and began to dig in the sand. "Let ' s go in the water," shesaid."All right," said the young man. "I think I can work it in.""Next time, push her off," Sybil said."Push who off?" "Sharon Lipschutz." "Ah, Sharon Lipschutz," said the young man. "How that name es up. Mixing memory anddesire." He suddenly got to his feet. He looked at the ocean. "Sybil," he said, "I 'll tell you what we ' ll do. Well see if we can catch a bananafish.""A what?""A bananafish," he said, and undid the belt of his robe. He took off the robe. His shoulders were white and narrow, and his trunks were royal blue. He folded the robe, first lengthwise, then in thirds. He unrolled the towel he had used over his eyes, spread it out on the sand, and then laid the folded robe on top of it. He bent over, picked up the float, and secured it under his right arm. Then, with his left hand, he took Sybil ' s hand.The two started to walk down to the ocean."I imagine you 've seen quite a few bananafish in your day," the young man said.Sybil shook her head."You haven ' t? Where do you live, anyway?""I don ' t know," said Sybil."Sure you know. You must know. Sharon Lipschutz knows where she lives and she 's only three and a half."Sybil stopped walking and yanked her hand away from him. She picked up an ordinary beach shell and looked at it with elaborate interest. She threw it down. "Whirly Wood, Connecticut," she said, and resumed walking, stomach foremost."Whirly Wood, Connecticut," said the young man. "Is that anywhere near Whirly Wood, Connecticut, by any chance?"Sybil looked at him. "That ' s where I live," she said impatiently. "I live in Whirly Wood, Connecticut." She ran a few steps ahead of him, caught up her left foot in her left hand, and hopped two or three times."You have no idea how clear that makes everything," the young man said.Sybil released her foot. "Did you read ‘ Little Black Sambo ' ?" she said."It 's very funny you ask me that," he said. ‘It so happens I just finished readingit last night." He reached down and took back Sybil ' s hand. "What did you think ofit?" he asked her."Did the tigers run all around that tree?""I thought they ' d never stop. I never saw so many tigers.""There were only six," Sybil said."Only six!" said the young man. "Do you call that only?""Do you like wax?" Sybil asked. "Do I like what?" asked the young man. "Wax." "Very much. Don ' t you?"Sybil nodded. "Do you like olives?" she asked."Olives - yes. Olives and wax. I never go anyplace without ‘ em.""Do you like Sharon Lipschutz?" Sybil asked."Yes. Yes, I do," said the young man. "What I like particularly about her is that shenever does anything mean to little dogs in the lobby of the hotel. That little toy bull that belongs to that lady from Canada, for instance. You probably won ' t believe this, but some little girls like to poke that little dog with balloon sticks. Sharon doesnt. She ' s never mean or unkind. That ' s why I like her so much."Sybil was silent."I like to chew candles," she said finally."Who doesn ' t?" said the young man, getting his feet wet. "Wow! It the rubber float on its back. "No, wait just a second, Sybil. Wait little bit." They waded out till the water was up to Sybil's waist. Then the young man picked herup and laid her down on her stomach on the float."Don ' t you ever wear a bathing cap or anything?" he asked. "Don ' t let go," Sybil ordered. "You hold me, now.""Miss Carpenter. Please. I know my business," the young man said. "You just keep your eyes open for any bananafish. This is a perfect day for bananafish." I don ' t see any," Sybil said."That 's understandable. Their habits are very peculiar. Very peculiar." He kept pushing the float. The water was not quite up to his chest."They lead a very tragic life," he said. "You know what they do, Sybil?" She shook her head."Well, they swim into a hole where there's a lot of bananas. They 're veryordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs.Why, I ' ve known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy-eight bananas." He edged the float and its passenger a foot closer to the horizon. "Naturally, after that they ' re so fat they can ' t get out of the hole again. Can 't fit through the door.""Not too far out," Sybil said, "What happens to them?"s cold." He dropped ' ll we get out a"What happens to who?""The bananafish.""Oh, you mean after they eat so many bananas they can ' t get out of the banana hole?" "Yes," said Sybil."Well, I hate to tell you, Sybil. They die.""Why?" asked Sybil."Well, they get banana fever. It ' s a terrible disease.""Here es a wave," Sybil said nervously."We' ll ignore it. Well snub it," said the young man. "Two snobs." He took Sybil 's ankles in his hands and pressed down and forward. The float nosed over the top of thewave. The water soaked Sybil 's blond hair, but her scream was full of pleasure.With her hand, when the float was level again, she wiped away a flat, wet band of hairfrom her eyes, and reported, "I just saw one.""Saw what, my love?""A bananafish.""My God, no!" said the young man. "Did he have any bananas in his mouth?""Yes," said Sybil. "Six."The young man suddenly picked up one of Sybil ' s wet feet, which were drooping overthe end of the float, and kissed the arch."Hey!" said the owner of the foot, turning around.‘ Hey, yourself! We ' re going in now. You had enough?""No!""Sorry," he said, and pushed the float toward the shore until Sybil got off it. He carried it the rest of the way."Goodbye," said Sybil, and ran without regret in the direction of the hotel.The young man put on his robe, closed the lapels tight, and jammed his towel into his pocket. He picked up the slimy, wet, cumbersome float and put it under his arm. He plodded alone through the soft, hot sand toward the hotel.On the sub-main floor of the hotel, which the management directed bathers to use, a woman with zinc salve on her nose got into the elevator with the young man."I see you are looking at my feet," he said to her when the car was in motion."I beg your pardon?" said the woman."I said I see you 're looking at my feet.""I beg your pardon. I happened to be looking at the floor," said the woman, and faced the doors of the car. "If you want to look at my feet, say so," said the young man. "But don 't be a God-damned sneak about it.""Let me out here, please," the woman said quickly to the girl operating the car.The car doors opened and the woman got out without looking back."I have two normal feet and I can ' t see the slightest God-damned reason why anybodyshould stare at them," said the young man. "Five, please." He took his room key out of his robe pocket.He got off at the fifth floor, walked down the hall, and let himself into 507. The room smelled of new calfskin luggage and nail-lacquer remover.He glanced at the girl lying asleep on one of the twin beds. Then he went over to one of the pieces of luggage, opened it, and from under a pile of shorts and undershirts he took out an Ortgies calibre 7.65 automatic. He released the magazine, looked at it, then reinserted it. He cocked the piece. Then he went over and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, looked at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple.。

A Perfect Day for Banana Fish
“People are innocent when they were babies.” This sentence is translated from Three Character Primer, which is an important book in Chinese history. Thinking to another way, the sentence also mean people lost their innocent when they grew up. It is proved in the story, which called A Perfect Day for Banana Fish. After World War II, many young American soldiers went back to their hometown.Most of them survived from the war. During the war, they will die at anytime. Under this pressure, their spirit was injured. They will become more sensitive. In "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish", Seymour Glass is an American soldier, who just came back to USA from Germany after the war. He went to vacation with his wife in Florida. During the story, Seymour told a story about banana fish to a little girl called Sybil. Actually, Seymour realized that his life is same as banana fish’s because the symbolism of the normal bana na fish, hole, and eating too much until die.
The normal banana fish symbolizes the innocent human like Sybil. Before the war, Seymour is a normal person. He is healthy and like a normal banana fish that it still have freedom. Seymour thinks Sybil is innocent. When he played with Sybil on the beach, he said, “That’s a fine bathing suit you have on. If there’s one thing I like, it’s a blue bathing suit.” (12) Actually, the color that Sybil wear is yellow. The reason that he said it is blue
because he thinks blue is represented to innocent. However, the people around him all lost innocent except children. He also lost his innocent in the war.
Hole symbolizes a place or thing make people lost innocent such as war. During the war, everyone will die at anytime. Even though they survive, they will get P.T.S.D. It makes people sensitive like Seymour. When he was in the elevator, he thinks one lady was looking at his feet and actually the lady doesn’t look at them. “If you want to look at my feet, say so,” said the young man. “But don’t be a God-damned sneak about it.” (17) He gets too many activates from adults’ world and he can’t release them. He ju st like a banana fish eats banana and get fatter and fatter. The pain in his mind is more and more until he can’t carry anymore and die.
Death symbolizes people can’t control their mind anymore and want to a new life to get innocent again. From the story start to the end, Seymour’s reaction become more and more acutely. At the start of the story during Muriel and her mother’s conversation, mother asked, “What’d he say? Where was Seymour when you talked to him?” “In the Ocean Room, playing the piano. He’s played the piano both nights we’ve been here.” (7) At that time, he still can control his emotion to play the piano. But at the end, he gets crazy. He yells to people who even didn’t do anything to him. He thinks people will have a new life after they die. Baby is innocent. “He aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple.” (18)
Banana fish’ life symbolizes Seymour’s life. Before the war, he likes a normal banana fish. After the war, he likes a banana fish, which eats too many bananas to get fat and can’t get out from the hole. Finally, he, like a banana fish, died. When people grew up, they will undergo many things and influence by much stuff such as money, power, or
girl. It is hard to keep innocent. However, as long as you treat others nice, you still keep some innocent. Trying to be a nice person.
