《荆棘鸟》
Legend
荆棘鸟，是自然界的一种奇特的动物， 它一生只唱一首歌。从离开雀巢开始，不 停执着的寻找荆棘树。当它终于如愿以偿， 就把自己娇小的身体扎进一株最长、最尖 的荆棘上，和着血泪放生歌唱—那凄美动 人、婉转如霞的歌声使人间所有的声音刹 那间黯然失色！然而，整个世界都在静静 地聆听着，上帝也在苍穹微笑着。一曲终 了，荆棘鸟终于气竭命陨，以身殉歌—以 一种惨烈的悲壮塑造了美丽的永恒，给人 们留下一段悲怆的谜。
人物刻画：精彩的人物对话，细腻的心理 描绘，出神入化的动作临摹，恰如其分的 外貌勾勒；冲突、对比、反衬、烘托。 —“她（梅吉）从椅子里滑了下来， 慢慢地倒在他（拉尔夫）的怀里，头枕在 他那滴着水的衬衫上，合上了眼睛。尽管 她痛苦伤心，但是她感到非常幸福，希望 这一刻永远也不要结束。他来了，这证实 了她对他所具有的力量，她没有想错。” 语言特点：结构严谨、生动流畅、饱含激 情、富有诗意、警言妙语散布其间。
怀上神父孩子的梅吉与卢克分手后回到德洛耶 达，与母亲生活在一起，并生下戴恩。戴恩逐渐长 大，长相与品德和他的生父如出一辙。梅吉的母亲 看出戴恩是拉尔夫的孩子，梅吉知道并与母亲最终 摊开讨论，原来大哥弗兰克也是母亲跟别人私生的。 第二次世界大战爆发，拉尔夫因功升为红衣主 教。而此时，戴恩提出要当教士。梅吉把戴恩送到 罗马的神学院，请拉尔夫妥善照顾。然而，戴恩去 希腊度假时，为了营救两名落水的德国女游客而溺 死在海里。神父与梅吉前往希腊寻找到戴恩尸身后， 两人一起护送其回到德洛耶达的家族墓地。神父在 举行完戴恩葬礼后不久也随之去世。梅吉失去了一 生中最爱的两个男人。这一切使梅吉对人生有了新 的认识：“一切都是我自己造成的，我谁都不怨恨， 我不能对此有片刻的追悔。”反而从小不被看好的 朱丝婷进入了演艺事业，并与有权有势的德国参议 员雷纳最终成家 。

2.一种“荆棘鸟式”的爱情观。
从年幼的仰望，到年轻的渴望，再到年迈的守望，梅吉 对爱情的追逐跌跌撞撞却无怨无悔。现在的爱情是理性的 是现实的，很多人一生都没有遇见爱情，不知道怎样去爱， 而梅吉是幸福的，是让人羡慕的，她集爱和被爱于一身， 纵然“你从那里得到的，终将会失去”，她也毫在不乎。

正如菲逃离在自己的内心世界里一样，她就 像被剥夺了爱人的权利一样，从未感到幸福，从 未表达她的感情。而直到帕迪死去的那一刻，她 才知道自己是多么爱着这个朴实又深爱着的男人。 而对于梅吉来说，她选择了长相酷似拉尔夫 的卢克，想逃离被拉尔夫困住的心，她以为这是 摆脱，这是解救，殊不知，这是另外一种沉沦。 我想如果当初她不是这么刻意迷恋这种长相，或 许，这段婚姻不会如此的凄凉。

她是第一个在世界舞台上获得成功的澳大利亚作家。
”Introduction About The Thorn Birds《荆棘鸟》介绍Published by Harper and Row in 1977， The Thorn Birds was a multi-generational sagai that traced a sheep-farming family and that featured a heroine， Meggie Cleary， who falls desperately and impossibly in love with a Catholic priest， Ralph de Bricassart. At the time of its publication，the novel was compared to Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind.This is the story of the Cleary family， who moved to Australia in the early 1900s to work Drogheda， a vast sheep station. Employing on a large canvas that encompasses two world wars and the Great Depression2， McCullough lets the main characters take tums telling the story from 1915 to 1969. But the heart of the book is the forbidden love between Meggie-Fee and Paddy Clea ry’s only daughter-and Ralph de Bricassart， the handsome parish priest. Meggie falls in love with Ralph de Briccasart， who is a good and ambitious man who certainly does nothing to encourage this love，but who certainly retums it as he regards Meggie as the daughter he can never have. As Meggie matures， he comes to regard her in a more romantic way. A great struggle arises between this love on the one hand and his ambition to become a cardinal3 or perhaps more， on the other. Family secrets， forbidden love， and the struggles of working in a hard new land intertwine in this novel. When published， it received rave reviews. It holds up just as well for new and retuming readers.Tip：《荊棘鸟》由哈伯·罗于1977年出版，是一部跨越几代人的英雄传说。

❖ The second part of the novel reveals the children’s growing maturity as they watch the events unfold when Atticus agrees to defend Tom Robinson,a black man who is accused of raping Mayella Ewell,a poor, white woman. Atticus tells Scout, “I couldn’t go to church and worship God if I didn’t try to help that man,” suggesting that it is his Christian duty to help those in need regardless of their race or class. When Scout and Jem visit Calpurnia’s church,they learn that segregation(种 族隔离) extends to religious practices though Calpurnia maintains that whites and blacks serve the same God.
❖ Mayella’s father,Bob,enraged by Atticus’s ability to reveal that he and his daughter falsely accused Tom,tries to stab Scout and Jem.Though Bob breaks Jem’s arm,Boo Radley defends the children,killing Bob in the process.In an effort to protect this particular mockingbird from public scrutiny, the sheriff decides he will not arrest Boo.Echoing the beginning,the end of the novel focuses on Atticus and Scout as they sit by Jem’s bed waiting for his broken arm to heal.

赏析
马克思主义认为，人类社会的发展具有不以人的 主观善良愿望为转移的历史必然规律。马克思说： “人类也像动植物一样种族的利益总是要靠牺牲 个人的利益来为自己开路的。”悲剧发生的本质 是个体的发展与全体的发展的对抗，而且在自由 梦想王国到来之前常常是以牺牲个体发展全体， 这样的冲突极其矛盾的结果就是悲剧。《荆棘鸟》 中拉尔夫面对玛丽留下的遗产抛弃了个人的情感 而追随教会，就是具体的体现。
传说中有一种鸟，它一生只唱一次 那歌声比世界上一切生灵的都更加优美动听 离开巢窝的那一刻起她就在寻找荆棘树 然后她把自己的身体扎进最长、最尖的刺上 在那荒蛮的枝条之间放开歌喉 在奄奄一息的时刻里她超脱了自身的痛苦 那歌声使云雀和夜莺都黯然失色 整个世界都在静静地谛听上帝也在苍穹中微笑 因为最美好的东西只能用深痛巨创来换取……这 就是荆棘鸟的传说。

《荆棘鸟(节选)》教案
《荆棘鸟（节选）》教案执教者：授课时间：授课课题：《荆棘鸟（节选）》教学目标：1、明确玛丽·卡森给拉尔夫的信和新遗嘱的内容。
2、深刻感悟拉尔夫内心矛盾纠结的痛苦呼喊。
3、学习心理描写和细节描绘刻画人物形象的表现手法。
教学重点难点：通过心理描写和细节描写深刻揭露拉尔夫矛盾纠结痛苦呼喊的内心世界。
教学方法：讲授法教学手段：多媒体课件教学过程：一、问题导入二、课文分析1、分析信我们首先来看玛丽·卡森给拉尔夫信的内容及其拉尔夫读后的心理世界：首先，玛丽·卡森用1300万英镑的遗产诱惑拉尔夫；接着，玛丽·卡森揭露拉尔夫的野心；最后声嘶竭力地扬言因为得不到拉尔夫的爱而要进行报复份。
读着玛丽卡森这些一针见血，直刺自己灵魂深处的话语，拉尔夫不禁心惊肉跳起来。
他真想站起来吧这两份文件一烧了事，绝不看遗嘱。
可是，玛丽卡森对拉尔夫的估计是准确无误的。
她在信中嘲讽且诱惑地说：“哦，我的拉尔夫，我能对你进行毫厘不差的评价啊！我清楚你将会做出什么样的决定。
就像我身临其境，亲眼所见一样地有把握。
读读我的遗嘱吧！读完你就会明白的。
”读完玛丽·卡森的信，拉尔夫“觉得脑门上出了一片汗水，一直顺着头发流到脖子后面。
”拉尔夫没想到玛丽卡森因爱生恨并设置阴谋报复自己，更没想到玛丽卡森对自己的思想野心能进行准确无误的判断和揭露，所以胆战心惊的恐惧和被他人揭穿而产生的憎恨心理席卷了拉尔夫全身。
同时，不由得又产生了一种怨天尤人的自怨：“上帝呀！我做过什么事使她这样对待我？我为什么不生得矮小、怪癖、丑陋不堪呢？”信：遗嘱诱惑、揭露野心、誓言报复汗：胆战心惊、憎恨恼怨、好奇的内心世界2、遗嘱分析玛丽卡森的遗嘱可以说是周密严谨到了极点，用1300万英镑的价值不仅仅牢牢地把拉尔夫钉在了红衣主教的宝座上，实现了拉尔夫的野心理想，而且让这1300万英镑的管理权也牢牢地掌控在了拉尔夫手中，而不是教会，更重要的是因这1300万英镑可能引发的一系列相关问题玛丽卡森都考虑的非常缜密，并做了妥善处置。

荆棘鸟高二英语读后感
¾£¼¬Äñ¸ß¶þÓ¢Óï¶Áºó¸Ð¡¡¡¡After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody . ¡¡¡¡There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaÒ»ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the saÒ»vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in HisheaÒ»ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain ¡¡¡¡¡Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.¡¡¡¡I read the book then watched the movie, both of them gaÒ»ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never gaÒ»ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don¡¯t like Meggie¡¯s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn¡¯t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn¡¯t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn¡¯t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.¡¡¡¡Tell the turth I don¡¯t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn¡¯t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not haÒ»ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .¡¡¡¡Frank is my faÒ»vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn¡¯t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn¡¯t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn¡¯t belong to himself, it¡¯s really a pity .¡¡¡¡Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie¡¯s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie¡¯s faÒ»vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie¡¯s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.¡¡¡¡I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie¡¯s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank¡¯s father that distoryed his life. His father didn¡¯ t give him freedom, and Frank can¡¯t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn¡¯t control himself and broke the law.Theenergitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn¡¯t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world¡it is really a pity.¡¡¡¡As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph.

• Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, it received mixed reviews when first published, and was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was so unusually stark.In the second half of the 19th century, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was considered the best of the Brontë sisters' works, but later critics argued that Wuthering Heights was superior.

The Faint Voice─A Brief Talk on the Western Women’s Faith in Love in The Thorn Birds[Abstract] This paper attempts to explore the novel The Thorn Birds, which shows the different values of love between women and men around the Clearys. The goal of exploring it is not only to state that women’s faith is love, while men’s faith is anything but love, but also to set off the heroine—Meggie, who longs for love and strives perseveringly for love in all her life. Although Meggie suffers a lot when searching fo r her faith, she always keeps loyal to love. What’s more, in order to create the beautiful and moving voice of her love, she would rather offer her life as the greatest sacrifice. The paper also aims at tracing back to Western women’s faith by describing t he heroines’ love stories in some great works written by some famous women novelists. Compared with other heroines’ attitudes and behaviors to their faith, Meggie is stronger, braver, purer and nobler to her faith, for she enriches love with endless vivid vigor and color. She is a perfect woman. However, although Meggie dedicates her life to love, what she gains is just a tragedy; although the Western women go all out for their faith, they are always deeply hurt by the cost of great pain. Therefore, this to pic subtly delineates the fact that the women’s voice for love is still too faint. No matter how wonderful voice they create, they are still incapable of changing men’s non-love faith and overcoming the unequal values of traditional society. This is an unavoidable tragedy not only to Meggie and the Western women, but also to all women in the world from ancient times. They get temporary happiness from love, but with infinite misery. Their voice is too faint to resist tragedy in love. However, women’s lofty f aith brings them a meaningful and significant life, just like the voice of the thorn birds.[Key Words] women; love; faith; voice; The Thorn Birds微弱的呼喊─浅谈《荆棘鸟》中西方女性对爱情的信仰【摘要】本文通过对长篇小说《荆棘鸟》的分析，分别描述了以克利里家族为中心的女性与男性不同的爱情价值观,体现了女性视爱情为终生信仰，而男性却常常选择非爱情的信仰，从而衬托出女主人公梅吉对爱情执着的高贵情操。

（二）德罗海达的牧场， 有我苦苦的凝望； 你在悉尼的教堂， 也按捺不住回头的渴望。 终于，在那个雨天， 你走近了灰烬中的牧场， 来安慰我失去亲人的悲伤。 可你还是回到了上帝存在的地方， 却把那朵玫瑰久久珍藏。 （三）后来，我也离开了德罗海达的牧场， 嫁给一个人--他长得像你一样。 在异地他乡，我决心把你遗忘， 但邓洛伊却给了我新的孤独与忧伤。 在梦魇中是你来到我身旁， 那时我才发现， 你才是我真正的太阳。

轮回
thoughts
菲曾经说过“任何女人都会想到这一点吗？ 什么是女儿？她只能使你回想起痛苦。她只是一 个年轻时的变体。将丝毫不差的重蹈另一个人的 覆辙并且哭的泪流满面。” “就像是听到了回音一样”菲说着，刺耳的笑 了起来，“你说这话的时候，也许就像我一样。” 而就如书中最后说的“德罗海达的时代要终 止了。是的，不仅仅是时代。让未知的后人去重 新开始这种循环吧”。

鱼与熊掌的选择
在最开始，拉尔夫就知道梅吉是他生活中可 望而不可即的玫瑰，是一种理想，如果说没有 Mary的那一纸遗书的话，他也就会任命的选择呆 在德洛耶达去凝视她，阅读她，但在他的信仰和 至高无上的权欲面前，他选择成为一个教士，而 不是一个男人。

幸福
thoughts
幸福是什么呢？Something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. 幸福与对生活的满足有关，也与对生活的不 满有关。满足是快乐，不满是期待。恰当的满足 感才能提供幸福的可能性。 幸福就是内心不再挣扎，即使在很平静的时 候，快乐也能从心底不由的涌出来。
正如菲逃离在自己的内心世界里一样，她就 像被剥夺了爱人的权利一样，从未感到幸福，从 未表达她的感情。而直到帕迪死去的那一刻，她 才知道自己是多么爱着这个朴实又深爱着的男人。 而对于梅吉来说，她选择了长相酷似拉尔夫 的卢克，想逃离被拉尔夫困住的心，她以为这是 摆脱，这是解救，殊不知，这是另外一种沉沦。 我想如果当初她不是这么刻意迷恋这种长相，或 许，这段婚姻不会如此的凄凉。

得与失
thoughts
在《荆棘鸟》中，如果说得到就是为了失去的话， 那么失去就是为了怀念了。 如果说当梅琪以为他真正拥有拉尔夫的孩子戴恩 时，她沉浸在这份得到中，以为他终于从上帝手里抢 到了拉尔夫，而等到戴恩长大成人，选择了当牧师时， 梅吉或许才意识到，她根本无法从上帝那里抢到拉尔 夫，即使是他的儿子也不行。 或许世界上没有一件事是我们可以永远占有的， 得与失往往都相辅相成。
自离巢的那一刻，他就在寻找 着，不眠不休，只为寻找那棵 属于他的荆棘树。
荆棘树上，他在旁逸横出的荆 棘中放声歌唱，至长至锐的尖 刺穿透了他的身躯。 生命将尽，他超脱了痛苦，尽 情欢唱，那甜美的歌声连云雀 夜莺都难以媲美。 歌声至美，却是以身殉曲。 然而万物都在聆听这美妙的歌 声，就连上帝也在苍穹之中露 出了微笑 因为唯有历经磨难苦楚，方能 得到最美好的事物。

迷恋
thoughts
迷恋通常在某种程度上是美妙的。它让拉尔 夫枯燥而单调的生活有了色彩，让少女躁动的心 有所寄托。然而过于激荡不安的情感并不能够让 这一次若有若无的爱情有什么结果，通常挂在墙 上许久的海报会被无趣的摘下，在日记本里暧昧 不清的文字意义变得不明确，记忆中清晰的画面 变得模糊并且线条化，原本生动的那个人逐渐枯 萎，成了最后被拉尔夹在字典里变了颜色的玫瑰 花瓣。
我是多么失望与彷徨。 而他却有着对上帝绝对忠诚的信仰。 你把他带到我身旁， 成就他自己的理想， 却没想到他永远地留在了异地他乡。 （六）残酷的惩罚啊， 当你告诉我事情的真相， 我摸到的却只是他冰冷的面庞。 你有了二十六年的报偿， 而我却在嫉妒中伤痛饱尝。 可怜的孩子，回来吧！ 我会为你祈祷， 上帝的弥撒会为你撒满灵光。 你走了， 升到了上帝落脚的地方， 只留下无尽的忧伤让我们品尝。 我又回到了我们最初相遇的地方， 继续我们德罗海达的忧伤......

After having a night with Ralph, she decided to leave Luke.
The plot
She gave birth to Dane who’s father is Ralph
Unfortunately , Dane want to be a priest like his father
From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to exceed the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in his Heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain or says the legend.
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in his life.
传说有一只鸟一生只歌唱一次。 他的歌声委婉动听，万物之中 无可比拟。
More sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
（四） 我生命中的麦克劳特岛啊！ 在那里， 我终于脱下了虚伪的衣装。 几十年苦苦的斗争， 在顷刻见全部消亡。 爱的火焰浇灭了我眼中的冷漠与凄凉， 上帝啊， 我宁可放弃鲜红的衣裳， 只为我深爱着的姑娘。 （五） 当我再踏上德罗海达的牧场， 双鬓已染上白霜。 我看到那个熟悉的笑容， 在一个陌生孩子的脸上绽放。 那一刻，
（一） 在尘土飞扬的基里教堂, 我从你眼中看到爱的目光。 美丽的教士宅邸里， 你为我装饰着苹果绿的小房。 当我长成一个大姑娘， 着一身玫瑰灰的裙装， 在那个热闹异常的地方， 你却无情地将我遗忘。 蓝色大理石天使的翅膀， 见证了我的忧伤。 扭过头， 我看待你，用另一种眼光。 那毒蜘蛛的死亡，让你苦恼异常， 最终你以一千三百万镑， 宣告爱的灭亡。 遗忘，你让我遗忘， 不留下任何印象！
