名著精读《傲慢与偏见》第七章第2节Their visits to Mrs. Philips were now productive of the most interesting intelligence. Every day added something to their knowledge of the officers' names and connections. Their lodgings were not long a secretand at length they began to know the officers themselves. Mr. Philips visited them alland this opened to his nieces a source of felicity unknown before. They could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr. Bingley's large fortunethe mention of which gave animation to their motherwas worthless in their eyes when opposed to the regimentals of an ensign.从此她们每次拜访腓力普太太都获得了最有趣的消息。
她们每天都会打听到几个军官的名字和他们的社会关系。
军官们的住宅不久就让大家知道了，再后来小姐们就直接跟他们搞熟了，腓力普先生一一拜访了那些军官，这真是替她的姨侄女们开辟了一道意想不到的幸福源泉。
她们现在开口闭口都离不开那些军官。
在这以前，只要提到彬格莱先生的偌大财产，她们的母亲就会眉飞色舞，如今跟军官们的制服对比起来，她们就觉得偌大的财产简直一钱不值了。
After listening one morning to their effusions on this subject Mr. Ben coolly observed一天早晨，班纳特先生听到她们滔滔不绝地谈到这个问题，他不禁冷言冷语地说："From all that I can collect by your manner of talkingyou must be o of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some timebut I am now convinced."“看你们谈话的神气，我觉得你们真是些再蠢不过的女孩子。
Sherwood Anderson
Sherwood Anderson was born in Ohio in 1876. Though his childhood and youth in Clyde were scarred by poverty, he also knew some of the pleasures of pre-industrial American society. The town was then experiencing what he would later call “a sudden and almost universal turning of men from the old handicrafts towards our modern life of machines”, which is regarded as the prototype of the backgroud in Anderson’s novels. Young Sherwood, known as “Jobby”, showed his entrepreneurial spirit. In his twenties he moved to Chicago and worked in an advertising agency. At that time he served as a volunteer in the Spanish-American War. After that he enrolled at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. Eventually he secured a job as a copywriter in Chicago and became more successful. In 1904 Anderson married and moved to Elyria in 1907, where he managed a mail-order business and paint manufacturing firms. In 1912 occurred the great turning point in Anderson’s life, as he abandoned his commerce and became one of the rebellious writers in the group called the “Chicago Renaissance”. In 1919 he published the Winesburg, Ohio which was and immediate critical success and soon Anderson was being ranked as a significant literary figure. In 1921 the distinguished literary magazine The Dial awarded his its first annual literary prize of $2000(second recipient was T. S. Eliot), and it is the only prize Anderson gets. Later Anderson published many other novels and short stories, but most critics and readers grew impatient with his later writings; they felt he was constantly repeating his early writing styles. Anderson died in Panama at the age of 64 while on a cruise to South America.Sherwood Anderson’s influence upon later American writers，especially whose who writes short stories，is enormous，and its literary voice can be heard in Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Thomas Wrolfe, John Steinbeck, Erskine Caldwell and others．He is called “the tutor of great masters”, the father of the writers in that generation. Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner both praise him as a writer who brings a new tremor of feeling，a new sense of introspectiveness(内省) to American short stories．As Faulkner puts it，Anderson is “the fumbling for exactitude”，the exact word and phrase within the limited scope of a vocabulary controlled and even repressed by what was in him almost a fetish of simplicity… to seek always to to penetrate thought’s uttermost end.”And you can see touches of his approach, echoes of his voice in many younger writers who may not even be aware of Anderson’s influence．Though he is not one of the major figures in 20th century American literature and never received Nobel Prize as his students，he is for several reasons a writer of very considerable significance．His effect on the development of the modern American short story as a genre is of great importance.(introducing works)(Catalog)Winesburg, Ohio is a collection of inter-related short stories, which could be loosely defined as a novel. Altogether there are 22 short stories, and almost each of them tells the story of a different inhabitant. The work is structured around the life of protagonist George Willard from the time he was a child to his growing independence and ultimate abandonment of Winesburg as a young man; the style of the work progresses as the complexity of his life increases.Though its structure seems loose, Winesburg,Ohio is unified in time, place, character,theme, style, and form．It’s about the people who give life and identity to the town．Each of them becomes the focal point and the substance of a story, as the nature of each is laid bare in a moment of Anderson’s insight into what makes his people grotesque. “The book is about extreme states of being, the collapse of men and women who have lost their psychic bearings and now hover, at best tolerated, at the edge of the little community in which they live.”Winesburg,Ohio is the milestone of Anderson which provides him the solid foundation of his literary reputation in times of disfavor as well as favor. It is not a book of rebellion as were his earlier works of fiction；instead, it is an affirmation of Anderson’s belief in human spirit and of the compassion that he felt was needed at the heart of human relations.Wing Biddlebaum talked much with his hands. The slender expressive fingers, forever active, forever strivng to conceal themselves in his pockets or behind his back, came forth and became the piston rods of his machinery of expression.The story of Wing Biddlebaum is a story of hands. Their restless activity, like unto the beating of the wings of an imprisoned bird, had given his his name.(p.8) (Hands)In the office he wore also a linen duster with huge pockets into which he continually stuffed scraps of paper. After some weeks the scraps of paper became little hard round balls, and when the pockets were filled he dumped theme out upon the floor.(p.15) On the papers were written thoughts, ends of thoughts, beginnings of thoughts.One by one the mind of Doctor Reffy had made the thoughts. Out of many of them he formed a truth that arose gigantic in his mind. The truth clouded the world. It became terrible and then faded away and the little thoughts began again.(p.15-16) (Paper Pills)The communion between George Willard and his mother was outwardly a formal thing without meaning.(p.19)“I think you had better be out among the boys. You are too much indoors,” she said, striving to relieve the embarrassment of the departure. “I thought I would take a walk,”replied George Willard, who felt awkward and confused.(p.21) (Mother)Alice went upstairs to her room and undressed in the darkness. For a moment she stood by the window hearing the rain beat against the glass and then a strange desire took possession of her. Without stopping to think of what she intended to do, she ran downstairs through the dark house and out into the rain.She wanted to leap and run, to cry out, to find some other lonely human and embrace him.“What is the matter with me? I will do something dreadful if I am not careful,” she thought, and turning her face to the wall, began trying to force herself to face bravely the fact that many people must live and die alone, even in Winesburg.(p.84-85) (Adventure)He wanted most of all the people of his own mind, people with whom he could reallytalk, people he could harangue and scold by the hour, servants, you see, to his fancy. Among these people he was always self-confident and bold. …He was like a writer busy among the figures of his brain.(p.127) (Loneliness)All of his thought the children were involved with the thoughts of Hal and he thought the children were clutching at the younger man also. “They are the accidents of life, Hal,”he cried. “They are not mine or yours. I had nothing to do with them.”(p.159) “It’s just as well. Whatever I told him would have been a lie,” he said softly, and then his form also dissappeared into the darkness of the fields.(p.160) (The Untold Lie)Some perspectives for analysis and reflection1 distortion of humanity caused by industrialisation; “spiritual wasteland”2 lonliness and alienation; failure of communication3 George Willard’s growth4 application of symbolism5 application of epiphany(顿悟)6 writing style: short sentences, a sparse vocabulary and uncomplicated syntax; simple but artful1 distortion of humanity caused by industrialisation; “spiritual wasteland”《小镇畸人》以一种开创性的松散结构始终如一地表达了工业文明对人性的扭曲以及爱的失落这一主题，“是第一次世界大战以后第一部在美国文学中表现‘荒原’这一主题的作品。

2、吵闹的邻居1.Flinch先生在一个阴森的，灰色的城镇中，有一座阴森的，灰色的房子，房子中又生活了一个不快乐的男人。
不是因为他的灰色房子，使Flinch先生不快乐，也不是因为他很穷，因为并非如此。
Flinch先生是一个吝啬鬼。
他从未给过别人一个便士（他从未给过别人一个微笑），他是一个吝啬和凄惨的人。
Flinch很悲惨，是因为他的邻居。
Flinch先生那灰色的、阴森的房子的一侧，有一座红色的房子，那是属于Carl Clutch修理工的。
Carl爱汽车，摩托车，面包车和卡车。
每天早上,Flinch先生起床时，就不断的听到锤子声，扳手的叮当声和发动机加速运转起来的声音，整条街都被这声响晃动起来。
在另一侧，一所明亮的蓝色的房子里，住着一位叫Poppy Pink的音乐教师。
每天早上，Poppy坐下来，在她那架美妙的钢琴上弹奏美妙的乐曲。
早餐后，她的学生就来了。
小提琴发出了刺耳的声音，鼓发出了雷鸣般的声音，低音管在咆哮着，Flinch先生关上了窗子，但这声音还是穿透了墙壁。
Brum-brum，totle-toot，bang！他的整个房子都在颤抖着。
他用手塞住耳朵。
他在墙上敲击以表示抗议……但邻居们听不到。
他们实在是太快乐了。
他们修理着汽车和做音乐，他们热爱他们的工作。
Brum-brum ，totle-toot，bang！Flinch先生又砸墙又斥责，直到他在壁纸上敲出了洞，也没有用。
Flinch先生把自己锁在壁橱里，他用毛巾把头包起来。
他愤怒的写了许多信，但又把它们全都撕碎了，“邮票的花费太贵了！”他说。
甚至到了床上，他戴着一顶帽子来阻止噪音。
但是发动机还是在加速旋转，音乐还是在发出刺耳的声音。
Flinch先生就像被夹在噪音三明治中间的灰色的馅。
“不能再这样继续下去了！”Flinch对自己说。
他甚至大声的吼了出来。
2、拙劣的伎俩Flinch先生去敲Carl先生的房子，Carl在修汽车，他很容易的溜进了他的厨房，把一只死老鼠放在了他的冰箱里。
Sherwood Anderson I am a fool分析
Paper 1英语1401 姓名:雷宸静学号:08141003Character Analysis in Sherwood Anderson’s I am a fool角色分析—舍伍德安德森短篇小说《我是一个傻瓜》I. The summary of I am a foolI am a fool is a short story by American writer Sherwood Anderson. It was firstpublished in the February 1922. This short story is writtenwith the first and second person. The narrator is a nineteen-year-old boy whose life revolves around his job as a swipe at a local racetrack. But it is a worthless job without future. His best friend and fellow worker is a black man named Burt. One day, he work into a bar, orders a drink and expensive cigars, and spurns a well-dress man with a Windsor tie and a cane who is standing near his and whom he accuses of “putting on air”. Then, at the grandstand, the narrator meets this man and his sister, Lucy. They fall in love with each other, but because of his self-abasement, he doesn’t want to show her up for a boob. So he tell a series of lies about himself and his family background. Until the separate, the narrator still not tell the truth. He is so regret about this foolish behavior that he did.II. The characteristic of Burt.2.1Burt is an ambitious black man.Due to the social environment of that era he cannot come to the fore. Burt was always stuck on being a driver but didn’t have much chance to get to the top, being a rigger, and he and the other nigger gulped that whole bottle of wine and Burt got a little lit up.(6) Burt think that he is an expert of drive a horse, but because of his identity he will never have a chance to show his excellent capacities. It reveal the racial discrimination of the society in that period of time.2.2Burt is mixture of moderationand strength, he is earnest and assiduous person.The narrator “liked Burt fine”, and they “got along splendid together” (1). The swipe says that Burt has “soft, kind eyes”, and yet “when it came to a fight he could hit like Jack Johnson” (1). Burt did no t show off. Though he possessed such great strength and skill, he was generally kind and gentle, and did not reveal his other side unless needed. Burt was modest and made the swipe feel at ease.III The characteristic of the narrator.3.1T he narrator is immature and uneducated.3.1.1 The narrator is emotional and irrationalSome people never do any wrong for him, yet he jealously hates them. He wants to hurt the boy on purpose who was “saving money to work his way through college” because that boy was taking jobs away from him (1). When he meets the man with the Windsor tie, he is repelled by his distinguished outfits and he showed off by buying cigars and wines. “There aren’t Walter Mathers, like I said to her and them, and there hasn’t been one, but if there was, I bet I’d go to Marietta, Ohio, and shoot him tomorrow.” (9) He wishes to “shoot” him. He resents those who have what he doesn’t have. So from these examples it can illustrate that he is not mature enough to treat this social distinction with a placid.3.1.2 The narrator is uneducated.At the very beginning of this story “It was a hard jolt for me, one of the most bitterest I ever had to face.” When he uses phr ases such as “most bitterest”, his improper grammar and many slang uses, such as “yaps” illustrate that he is an uneducated man.“I kept thinking of wagons running over him and bricks falling on his head as he walked along the street.” (1) The narrator resents the boy who gets the job from him by use the pretest that he want to save money to go to university. The narrator wants nothing to do with education. He believes that the “fellows” who “go to high schools and colle ge…don’t know nothing at all” (2). The narrator got his education at the stables, the races, and the saloons; he does not care to be properly educated. He doesn’t have an awareness about the important of education.3.2The narrator has inferior complex.“In the bar there was a fellow with a cane and a Windsor tie on, that it made me sick to look at him.”(4) It also shows the narrator’s inferior complex. He didn’t born in a rich family, doesn’t have a superior social standard.The narrator is from a poor white people family and took a job as a swipe, it’s the only job he could get. “They boththought it something disgraceful that one of our family should take a place as a swipe with race horse.” His mother and sister thought th at this job was “disgraceful” (1). At first, he doesn’t think so, but w hen he meets Miss Wessen he is fall in love with her and he doesn’t want her know his real identity, but want to make a good impression. “One thing’s about as good as another, if you take it just right. I’ve often said that.”(4) It shows one of the moral standards of the narrator, but when he sees Miss Wessen’s “nice clothes” and “nice eyes”, he wants to impress her with a different identity. He does not want to “show her up for a boob” (7), so he tell a series of lies. The narrator tells lie because of the sense of self-abasement. When the narrator sees other person have something that he doesn’t have, the sense of inferiority will well up in his heart, and he can’t help to perfect himself by brags.The friendship between the narrator and Burt is an example of his naïve about his social status. Burt is a n black man, he is a person who is live in the bottom rung of the society. The narrator, as the friend of Burt, they do the same job, and have the same social status. He pretends as a rich man who is totally different from him. He is oblivious of his low social rank. He said that he is a fool because he lies to others, but I think is not because of that, but because he deceives himself about his family background, his life, his experience, his true feelings and his heart. And what he do give rise to an irrevocable consequence.。

舍伍德·安德森（Sherwood Anderson又译作薛伍德·安德森)于1876年9月13日出生于俄亥俄州的坎登(Camden) ，他以自己家乡为题材所写的短篇小说，是他最广为人知的作品。
他在书中描述「令人沉思不已的中西部故事」，这些故事显示「作者对于平凡人物深刻的描写与怜悯。
」作为一个马具制造者与临时油漆工的第三个小孩，安德生有说故事的天分。
安德生年轻的时候时常想要做一个经济独立的人。
他结婚之后共生了三个小孩，虽然他努力工作，但是却对现实商场的工作感到不满。
一直到1909年时，他因为过度辛劳而生成暂时性的精神崩溃。
就在那一年，他开始一边担任芝加哥一家广告公司的记帐员，一边撰写科幻小说。
在芝加哥时，他遇见很多位作家，例如卡尔．山得堡(Cark Sandburg) ，以及创立芝加哥文学复兴运动的西奥多．得瑞司尔(Theodore Dreiser) 。
这些作家中，有很多人和安德生一样，都是在中西部的小城镇中长大的。
在两次世界大战之间，薛伍德．安德生对于美国文坛有相当大的影响。
他擅长把每天谈话中的真实话语用文字表达出来，并且用全新的格式与风格撰写文章，打破了过去常规、守旧的形式。
他对于美国新一代的作家也有很深远的影响，其中最有名的就是恩斯特．海名威(Ernst Heimingway) 以及威廉．福克纳(William Faulkner) 。
许多老牌的作家常常会施压年轻作家，要求他们应该要写自己最擅长的东西。
但是当安德生于1924年在纽奥良遇到福克纳时，他鼓励福克纳撰写有关密西西比家乡的故事。
安德生的作品中，以1919年集结短篇小说出版的俄亥俄州的威尼斯堡(Winesburg, Ohio) 被普遍认为是最好的作品。
Have you ever written a story about your hometown? Maybe you think it's too "boring" to write about. If so, take a look at American writer Sherwood Anderson. Born on September 13, 1876, in Camden, Ohio, he is best known for his short stories that reflect his small-town, Midwestern past. Described as "brooding Midwest tales," they reveal "their author's sympathetic insight into the thwarted lives of ordinary people." This third child of a harness maker and sometime house painter had a fondness for storytelling.As a young man, Anderson was intent on establishing his financial independence. He married, had three children and worked, with growing dissatisfaction, in the corporate world until 1909, when he suffered a brief nervous breakdown. He began to write fiction that year while working as a copywriter at a Chicago advertising agency. In Chicago, he met other thriving writers such as Carl Sandburg and Theodore Dreiser, who formed a sort of Chicago literary renaissance. Many of them, like Anderson, had grown up in small Midwestern townsSherwood Anderson had an important influence upon American writing between World War I and World War II. He is credited with capturing the real sound of everyday speech in his writing and experimenting with new forms and styles, breaking down tired, old formulas. He influenced a whole generation of writers, most notably Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. Many experienced writers have stressed that a young writer should write about what he or she knows best. While in New Orleans in 1924, Anderson encouraged Faulkner to write about his home county in Mississippi. Anderson's 1919 collection of short stories, Winesburg, Ohio, is widely considered his best work.舍伍德·安德森（Sherwood Anderson，1876-1941），1876年9月13日出生在中西部俄亥俄州克莱德镇的一个贫寒家庭。

It was not that he was poor, because he was not. Mr Flinch was a miser. He never gave away a penny. ( He never gave away a smile either. ) He was a mean and miserable man.Mr Flinch was miserable because of his neighbours.On one side of Mr Flinch 's grim, grey house stood a jolly red one. It belonged to CarlClutch who mended cars.Carl loved cars -and motorbikes and vans and lorries. Every morning, Mr Flinch woke up to hear hammers banging, spanners clanging and engines revving. The whole street shook with the noise.On the other side, in a bright blue house, lived a music teacher called Poppy Plink. Each morning, Poppy sat down and played grand tunes on her grand piano. After breakfast, her students started to arrive.Violins screeched, drums thundered and bassoons bellowed. Mr Flinch shut his window, but the noise still came through the wall. Brum -brum, tootle -toot, bang! Hiswhole house shook and shivered.He put his fingers in his ears.He rapped on the wall …but his n eighbours did not hear.They were far too happy. They were mending cars and making music, and they loved their work.Brum -brum, tootle -toot, bang!Mr Flinch rap rapped until he made holes in his wallpaper.

The Egg全文翻译-Sherwood Anderson
《The Egg》Sherwood Anderson1我相信,爸爸是生来是一个活泼开朗的人。
三十四岁之前,他一直在俄亥俄州毕兑奥镇的汤巴托农场打短工。
他自己有匹马,每周六晚上都骑马到镇上和一帮雇农混上个几个钟头。
本海德酒吧那时整晚觥筹交错欢歌笑语,人满为患得没地落脚,他只能站着喝两杯啤酒。
一过十点,他沿一条孤僻乡间小路策马回家,将坐骑安顿停当,上床就寝,对人生心满意足。
当时,他并没有任何出人头地的念想。
2三十五岁的春天, 他娶了当时还是学校教员的妈妈, 第二年春, 我便呱呱坠地。
自从那时起, 他俩起了变化。
他们变得雄心勃勃, 满脑子都是美国式飞黄腾达的远大理想。
3对此我妈可能也要付一定责任。
她识文断字, 一定经常读书看报。
我估计她在坐月子的时候, 就读了伽菲和林肯等人怎么从一介草民变成一代伟人--当时我就躺在她边上--兴许她指望我哪天也能呼风唤雨。
她不由分说, 怂恿爸爸辞掉了雇农的工作, 卖了马匹自己做买卖。
她身高体长, 沉默寡言, 鼻梁高耸, 灰色的眼珠常显得忧虑不安。
她对自己无欲无求, 为我们却豪情万丈到无可救药。
4他们的第一桩投资就惨不忍睹。
他们在距彼兑奥镇八英里的格利路边租了十英亩贫瘠的石板地, 将养鸡厂投入运营。
我在那里进入了孩提时代, 并获得了对人生的第一印象。
最初的印象充斥着死亡和不幸, 如果说我后来成了一个彻头彻尾的悲观主义者, 都归功于我在养鸡场度过的本应快乐的童年时光。
5没有相同的生活经历, 你绝想不到鸡的一生能惨绝人寰到何种程度。
它破壳而生, 像复活节明信片上的小毛球样子活上几周, 然后令人发指地掉毛, 成堆地吃掉你老爹辛勤汗水换来的谷粮, 染上喉舌病, 霍乱等各种鸡瘟, 傻站着两眼朝天, 生病, 然后死翘翘。
多数母鸡和少数公鸡, 为了践行上帝的神秘旨意, 挣扎着撑到成年。
随后母鸡下蛋, 孵出小鸡, 恐怖的生命轮回籍此画上圆圈。
整个过程复杂得匪夷所思。
绝大多数哲学家的童年一定都在养鸡厂度过。

了不起的盖茨比第七章英语单词知乎
了不起的盖茨比第七章英语单词知乎全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Vocabulary of Chapter 7 in The Great Gatsby: A Student's In-Depth AnalysisWhat's up, fellow literature lovers and word nerds? Today, we're diving deep into the rich and symbolic vocabulary found in Chapter 7 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. As a student who adores dissecting literary works, I'm thrilled to share my insights and personal interpretations of the language used in this pivotal chapter.First things first, let's set the stage. Chapter 7 is the climax of the novel, where tensions reach a boiling point, and the illusions surrounding Gatsby's persona and his pursuit of Daisy begin to unravel. The atmosphere is thick with dramatic irony, and Fitzgerald masterfully employs evocative diction to convey the underlying emotions and thematic elements.One word that immediately caught my attention is "inexplicable." Fitzgerald describes the "inexplicable certified confusion" surrounding Gatsby's background and wealth. Thisword not only highlights the mystery and ambiguity surrounding Gatsby but also foreshadows the eventual revelation of his shady past and the disillusionment that follows.Moving on, we encounter the phrase "fantastic conceits." This phrase perfectly encapsulates the grandiose delusions and unrealistic expectations that have driven the characters' actions throughout the novel. It's a poignant reminder of the theme of disillusionment and the harsh reality that often shatters our idealized dreams.Another standout word is "appalling." Used to describe Gatsby's reaction to Tom's revelations about his past, it conveys the profound sense of shock and dismay that overwhelms him as his carefully crafted persona crumbles. The intensity of this word mirrors the devastating impact of the truth on Gatsby's psyche.Let's not forget the word "colossal." Fitzgerald employs this adjective to depict the sheer magnitude of Gatsby's illusions and the scale of his dreams. It's a testament to the grandiose nature of his aspirations, which ultimately prove to be his undoing.Shifting gears, the phrase "grotesque, circumstantial" caught my eye. Fitzgerald uses it to describe the evidence Tom presents against Gatsby, hinting at the sordid and unsavory details of his past. This phrase adds a sense of ugliness and distortion to therevelations, further emphasizing the stark contrast between Gatsby's idealized persona and the harsh realities of his life.One word that struck me as particularly powerful is "holocaust." Fitzgerald employs this term to describe the intense emotional turmoil and devastation that Gatsby experiences as his dreams are shattered. The word's connotations of complete destruction and sacrifice resonate deeply with the theme of disillusionment and the sacrifices Gatsby made in pursuit of his dreams.Finally, let's explore the phrase "obscurity borne once more in line of sight." This poetic line refers to the resurfacing of Gatsby's obscure past, which had been carefully concealed until this point. It's a haunting reminder that no matter how hard we try to reinvent ourselves, our pasts have a way of catching up with us, and the truth ultimately prevails.In conclusion, the vocabulary employed by Fitzgerald in Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby is a masterclass in literary craftsmanship. Each word and phrase is meticulously chosen to convey deeper meanings, symbolism, and thematic elements. From the sense of mystery and ambiguity to the harsh realities of disillusionment, the diction in this chapter is a powerful tool thatenhances the emotional impact of the narrative and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.So, there you have it, my fellow word enthusiasts – a deep dive into the vocabulary of Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby. I hope this analysis has piqued your interest and inspired you to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of language woven by Fitzgerald in this literary masterpiece.篇2Vocabulary Gems from Chapter 7 of The Great GatsbyHey fellow bookworms! As an avid reader and lover of literature, I always look forward to diving deep into the linguistic riches found in classic novels. Today, I want to share some of the juiciest vocabulary morsels from Chapter 7 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby.Let's kick things off with a word that perfectly encapsulates the lavish lifestyle portrayed in the novel: "sumptuous." When Gatsby's house is described as "a solemn, haunting house, broodingly immense among its fringed and sumptuous gardens," the word "sumptuous" conjures up images of extravagant opulence and luxurious splendor. It's a word that screams "over-the-top" and "no expense spared."Speaking of lavish parties, the word "revelers" caught my eye. It refers to the raucous, carefree merrymakers who attended Gatsby's legendary bashes. Can't you just picture a horde of revelers, decked out in their finest threads, dancing the night away with reckless abandon?Now, let's delve into a word that carries a more ominous undertone: "sinister." When Nick describes Gatsby's smile as having "a quality of eternal reassurance in that conclusive smile, the vigorous promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing," the word "sinister" is used to describe the smile's "sinister resilience." This word choice hints at something darker lurking beneath the surface, foreshadowing the tragic events to come.Moving on, we have the delightfully whimsical word "oblivious." When the narrative states that Gatsby was "oblivious of the sunshine," it paints a vivid picture of someone so lost in their own thoughts and preoccupations that they fail to notice the world around them. It's a relatable feeling we've all experienced at one point or another.Next up is a word that evokes a sense of mystique and intrigue: "inscrutable." When Nick observes Gatsby's "inscrutable vision," it suggests a depth and complexity to Gatsby's characterthat defies easy comprehension. It's a tantalizing hint at the layers of mystery surrounding this enigmatic figure.Let's not forget the deliciously descriptive word "grotesque." When Nick describes the "grotesque, fascinating brightness" of Gatsby's wealth and possessions, it simultaneously conveys a sense of awe and repulsion. It's a word that perfectly captures the allure and excess of the Gatsby lifestyle while hinting at its inherent ugliness.Moving on, we have the evocative word "haunt." When Nick mentions Gatsby's "haunting loneliness," it conjures up images of a specter-like figure, forever trapped in a state of melancholic solitude. It's a word that adds a haunting, ethereal quality to Gatsby's character.Finally, let's explore the word "permeate." When Nick describes the "permeating scent" of Gatsby's house, it creates a vivid sensory experience, as if the reader can smell the rich, lingering aromas wafting through the air. It's a word that adds depth and texture to the descriptive passages.Well, there you have it, fellow word nerds! A tantalizing glimpse into the rich vocabulary that permeates Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby. Whether you're a seasoned literary connoisseur or a budding bibliophile, these words are sure to add somelinguistic sparkle to your reading experience. Happy reading, and may the words dance off the page and into your heart!篇3The Dazzling Vocabulary of Gatsby's ReunionChapter 7 of The Great Gatsby is a pivotal moment in the novel, where the long-awaited reunion between Gatsby and Daisy finally occurs. As a student of literature, I was struck by the masterful way Fitzgerald uses language to convey the intense emotions and tensions at play during this climactic scene. The vocabulary he employs is rich, evocative, and at times, dazzlingly complex, adding layers of depth and nuance to the narrative. Let's delve into some of the most captivating words and phrases from this chapter.One word that immediately caught my attention was "colossal," used to describe Gatsby's dreams and aspirations. This adjective conjures up images of something vast, monumental, and awe-inspiring, perfectly capturing the grandiose nature of Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy. The word's etymological roots in Greek further emphasize its magnitude, lending a sense of timelessness and universality to Gatsby's desires.Another striking word is "feign," which Fitzgerald employs when describing Gatsby's attempts to appear casual and nonchalant in Daisy's presence. The term "feign" suggests a deliberate act of deception or pretense, hinting at the complex web of emotions and facades that Gatsby has woven around himself. This word choice skillfully underscores the deep vulnerability and insecurity that lie beneath Gatsby's carefully constructed persona.Fitzgerald's use of the word "ineffable" is particularly noteworthy, as he applies it to describe the quality of Gatsby's smile when he finally reunites with Daisy. "Ineffable" suggests something that is too profound or too sublime to be adequately expressed in words, perfectly capturing the depth of Gatsby's emotional state in that moment. This word choice elevates the scene to a level of almost spiritual transcendence, reflecting the intensity of Gatsby's long-held dreams and desires.The phrase "furnace of vitriol" is another evocative turn of phrase that caught my eye. Fitzgerald uses this vivid metaphor to describe Tom Buchanan's simmering anger and hostility towards Gatsby. The word "vitriol" conjures up images of a highly corrosive and toxic substance, while "furnace" implies an intense and uncontrollable heat, together painting a powerful picture ofTom's barely contained rage. This metaphor foreshadows the explosive confrontation that ultimately erupts between the two men, heightening the sense of tension and impending conflict.Fitzgerald's use of the word "appalling" is particularly interesting, as it carries a dual meaning. On one level, it suggests something that is shocking or horrifying, reflecting the profound emotional turmoil and disillusionment that Gatsby experiences as his dreams begin to unravel. However, the word "appalling" can also mean "causing dismay or disappointment," which aptly describes the sense of disenchantment that Gatsby must feel as he realizes the true nature of Daisy's character and the insurmountable challenges standing in the way of their reunion.The phrase "grotesque and fantastic conceits" is another standout example of Fitzgerald's rich vocabulary. "Conceits" refers to fanciful or imaginative notions, while "grotesque" and "fantastic" suggest something that is both distorted and whimsical. This phrase is used to describe the extravagant and over-the-top decorations adorning Gatsby's mansion, reflecting the grandiose and almost absurd lengths to which he has gone in his pursuit of wealth and status – all in an effort to win over Daisy. This vivid description not only paints a striking visualpicture but also serves as a metaphor for the distorted and fantastical nature of Gatsby's dreams and aspirations.Throughout Chapter 7, Fitzgerald employs a multitude of evocative and richly descriptive words and phrases, such as "riotous," "curtains of azaleas," "vanished trees," and "ecstatic caress." These word choices not only create a vivid and immersive reading experience but also serve to reinforce the overarching themes of the novel, such as the futility of pursuing the past, the corrupting influence of wealth and materialism, and the disillusionment that often accompanies the pursuit of idealized dreams.As a student of literature, I am in awe of Fitzgerald's masterful command of language and his ability to weave together words in a way that not only tells a compelling story but also resonates on a deeper, emotional level. The vocabulary he employs in Chapter 7, with its rich tapestry of evocative and nuanced terms, is a testament to his literary genius and his profound understanding of the human condition.In conclusion, the dazzling vocabulary and artful use of language in Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby are a true hallmark of Fitzgerald's literary prowess. From the grandiose "colossal" to the sublime "ineffable," and the vivid "furnace of vitriol," eachword is carefully chosen and expertly woven into the narrative, adding depth, nuance, and emotional resonance to this pivotal moment in the novel. As a student, exploring and unpacking the meanings and connotations of these words has not only enriched my understanding of the text but has also deepened my appreciation for the power of language and the craft of great literary works.。

It was not that he was poor, because he was not. Mr Flinch was a miser. He never gave away a penny. ( He never gave away a smile either. ) He was a mean and miserable man.Mr Flinch was miserable because of his neighbours.On one side of Mr Flinch’s grim, grey house stood a jolly red one. It belonged to Carl Clutch who mended cars.Carl loved cars – and motorbikes and vans and lorries. Every morning, Mr Flinch woke up to hear hammers banging, spanners clanging and engines revving. The whole street shook with the noise.On the other side, in a bright blue house, lived a music teacher called Poppy Plink. Each morning, Poppy sat down and played grand tunes on her grand piano. After breakfast, her students started to arrive.Violins screeched, drums thundered and bassoons bellowed. Mr Flinch shut his window, but the noise still came through the wall. Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang! His whole house shook and shivered.He put his fingers in his ears.He rapped on the wall … but his neighbours did not hear.They were far too happy. They were mending cars and making music, and they loved their work.Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang!Mr Flinch rap rapped until he made holes in his wallpaper. It did no good.Mr Flinch locked himself in a cupboard. He wound old towels round his head.He wrote angry letters, but tore them all up. ‘ Stamps cost far too much money!’ he said.Even in bed, he wore a hat to keep out the noise.But the cars still revved and the music still jangled.Mr Flinch was the grey filling in a noise sandwich.‘This can’t go on,’ Flinch thought to himse lf. He even shouted it out loud:2Nasty TricksMr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house. Carl was mending cars. It was easy to sneak into his kitchen and put a dead rat in the fridge.‘That will get rid of him!’ said Flinch, and smiled a nasty smile.‘Nobody wants to live in a house with rats!’At midnight, Mr Flinch climbed on to his roof and –carefully, carefully –crawled across the tiles. He put his head down Poppy’s chimney and gave a long, loud, ‘Hooowooowoooo!’‘That will get ride of her,’he said with a grim grin. ‘Nobody wants to live in a house with ghosts!’Then he climbed back into bed.Next morning, Mr Flinch woke to a HUGE noise. Cars and lorries were stoppingoutside. He looked out of his window.Carl was sitting outside in the rood, with a table, a kettle, a loaf of bread and a bottle of tomato sauce.Carl called to Mr Flinch, ‘Can’t use my kitchen today! Rays, urgh! My mum is cleaning up. She told me to eat my breakfast outside. That’s how I got this great idea! Take – away breakfast! Drivers can stop here and buy breakfast.’Just then, Poppy Plink came running out of her blue front door. ‘Oh, Mr Flinch! Oh, Carl! Guess what happened last night!’‘I give up,’ said Mr Flinch, with a sumg smirk. ‘Do tell.’Poppy beamed w ith joy. ‘Last night, angles sang down my chimney! They did, I promise!’ She frowned. ‘But the music wasn’t very good! I think they want some new songs to sing! I’m sure they want me to write them, and I shall! Oh I shall!’She did.Poppy still had to teach music all day.But at night she wrote angle music. She made it nice and loud, with lots of cymbals and trumpets.It was all too much for Mr Flinch.3Mr Flinch has a PlanMr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house.He showed Carl a fistful of money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.‘Anything you say, chief,’ said Carl, wiping his dirty hands on a rag.‘As long as I can mend cars, I’ll be happy anywhere.’ Carl went on, ‘I’ll move out as soon as I can sell the house!’N ext, Mr Flinch went to Poppy’s house and offered her a hatful of money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.‘Of course! If that is what you want, dear heart! Cried Poppy.She had never seen so much money in her life. ‘As long as I hav e my music, I can be happy anywhere! I will move out just as soon as I can sell my little house!’Mr Flinch went home a happy man – well, as happy as a man like Mr Flinch can ever be.He felt in his empty pockets and gulped. ‘All that money gone! Ah, b ut soon those noisy neighbours will be gone, too!’In a few days, Mr Flinch’s neighbours had sold up their houses.Now, at last, he would have peace and quiet – nothing but the noise of mice scratching in the empty cellar.4 Moving DayMr Flinch watched as Poppy Plink moved out. Bo-jangle went the piano as she pushed and bumped it down the steps.‘Going already are you, you pest?’ he mutted. ‘I pity the person who has to live next door to you!’Seeing him, Poppy waved up at the window.‘Such luck, Mr Flinch!’ she called. ‘Fancy! A few days ago, I met someone who wants to move house too! We agreed to swap houses!’Just then, Carl came out of his front door carrying two heavy tool boxes. He saw Poppy struggling with a harp and went to help her. ‘All set, Poppy? he said.‘All set, Carl! Isn’t this fun!’ She replied.Then Carl moved into Poppy’s bright house and Poppy moved into Carl’s jolly red one.They helped each other to carry the big things, like tables and sofas.Then Carl had a house-warming party. He and Poppy sang, because they were so happy: ‘There’s no place like home!’Mr Flinch heard it right through the wall of his house … even inside his cupboard, even with a towel round his head.how long ,how soon, how often,和how far 的辨析及中考试题汇编how long“多久，多长时间”对一个持续的时间段提问，常用“for+一段时间”和“since+时间点”回答how soon“多快，多久以后”，对一个短暂性动作提问，用于一般将来的句子中，用用“in+一段时间”回答how often“多长时间一次对频道副词提问，常用“once，twice，three times a week”等回答how far “多远”对距离提问。

Sherwood Anderson中英对照生平介绍
Sherwood AndersonOn September 13, 1876 Sherwood Anderson was born to Irwin M. and Emma Smith Anderson in Camden, Ohio. He was their third child. The family was forced to move shortly after Sherwood was born because his father's small business had failed. They finally settled permanently in Clyde, Ohio in 1884. The income was rarely adequate without the added help of the children's income. Due to the difficulties, Anderson's father began drinking heavily and his mother died in 1895. Sherwood was eager to take on odd jobs and earned the name "Jobby". However, his interests caused him to miss school often. He finally left high school before graduating. In 1896, Anderson left Clyde for Chicago where his brother Karl was living. He worked as a manual laborer until enrolling in the army for service in Cuba during the Spanish-American WarAfter the War, he again followed his brother who had taken a job as an artist for the Crowell Publishing Company in Springfield, Ohio. In September of 1900, Anderson attended the Wittenberg Academy. Earning his food and lodging as a "chore boy" at the artists' boardinghouse, Anderson encountered a highly cultured environment. Ironically, the influence of the artists was most important to Anderson for his advance in the business world. The Crowell advertising manager secured him a job in Chicago as a copywriter. He was highly successful in this position.In 1904, he married Cornelia Lane, the daughter of a wealthy Ohio wholesaler. Although he hoped to become an artist, he lived as a bourgeois husband and father of three for a couple of years. He left Chicago for Northern Ohio in 1906 and over the next six years, he managed a mail-order business in Cleveland and then two paint manufacturing firms. Yet, Anderson increasingly spent his free time writing. On November 27, 1912 he disappeared from his office and was found four days later in Cleveland, disheveled and disoriented, having suffered a mental breakdown. In later writings, Anderson often referred to this episode as a conscious break from his materialistic existence and many younger writers picked up on this, praising his heroic spirit.However much of the story was reconstructed, Anderson did respond to the pivotal moment and broke from his job in Elyria. Instead of becoming a Bohemian artist though, he rejoined the advertising agency in Chicago. He sent for his family, wrote the circulars as he once had, and continued to write feverishly in his free time. In 1914, he divorced Cornelia and married Tennessee Mitchell. That same year his first novel was published, entitled Windy McPherson's Son. Along with his second, Marching Men, of 1917, he later commented that his first novels were raw and immature. He is best known for his classic collection of tales, Winesburg, Ohio, which he had begunwriting in 1915 and generally wrote in the order the stories appear in the text. The book was published in 1919 and received much acclaim, establishing him as a talented modern American author. He espoused themes similar to the later works of T.S. Eliot and other modernists.舍伍德•安德森（Sherwood Anderson又译作薛伍德•安德森)于1876年9月13日出生于俄亥俄州的坎登(Camden) ，他以自己家乡为题材所写的短篇小说，是他最广为人知的作品。

For one thing they are very uneven. --The best are among the eternal of American literature, while the worst tend to be slipshod and defective in plot or dialogue or both. --Even his style is deficient so that it is ruthlessly parodied in Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring.

Death in the Woods--his final collection of short stories, with broad, humanitarian themes
III. Writing Style
Anderson’s style of writing appears simple, easy, almost conversational. In fact, his stories were very carefully constructed, without plot, to seem more casual, more natural, closer to real life than to literary art.

Winesburg, Ohio (1919), his volume of short stories --It marked a radical change not only in the content but also in the form of the American short story --Because their happenings differed so in form from those of earlier fiction, many readers considered Anderson’s stories almost plotless.

Poor White (1920) --a novel contrasted the harsh, dehumanizing advances of industrialization with the old, disappearing harmony of the countryside
Points of View
The stories abandoned traditional ideas of plot and story-telling in order simply to expose the characters who were repressed and frustrated by intolerable social and industrial systems. It was a totally new, untried way of writing.
Characteristics of His Writing
Instead of telling a story about actions and events, he gave psychological insights into the characters, building up a growing intensity of emotion until the end of the story.
III. Writing Style
But Anderson felt compassion for such emotionally stunted people, who were the victims of modern existence, and he made his readers fell sympathy for them, also. He made their strange behavior understandable, and exposed their inner sweetness or bitterness.

I. Life and Career
While he wrote literature in his spare time, he was encouraged by the leaders of Chicago’s literary movement. He published his first two novels—the first one a story based on his own father’s irresponsible life, the second a proletarian novel. They were received well enough so that Anderson could quit his job and spend his full time writing.

Beyond Desire--his most politically conscious novel --It described labor struggles in a southern textile mill during the Great Depression.
III. Writing Style
Anderson wrote about lonely, sad people, deformed in their characters by frustrations imposed by their societies and environment. He showed how, in their struggles, they would clutch at some aspect of truth, but adopt a narrow, rigid view of it. In trying to live according to their narrow view of truth, unable to understand wider truths, they would become grotesque, thereby turning their small truths into falsehoods.
I. Life and Career
born in the countryside of Ohio, in the Middle West --one of seven children of a poor laborer who eventually abandoned his family. had a few years of schooling worked at many jobs --as a factory worker, a house painter, a farm hand--and he ended up in Chicago where he married and became quite successful as a writer of advertisements
Characteristics of His Writing
Since he felt that “the true history of life” was “the history of moments” and not a charted plan, events in his stories often are not arranged in well-defined and completed patterns. Rather they seem to be the recording of events.

The Triumph of the Egg--his first collection of short stories --These stories all contained one central theme, which was the decaying of American society. --”Dark Laughter” idealized the life of Negroes in comparison with that of whites – a romantic illusion of Anderson’s, for blacks were, in fact, oppressed as severely as lower class than whites at that period.
