Spencer is old,sickly,and p retenti ously pathetic.I n the lecture he gives Holden,he is blunt,sarcastic and s ometi m es up set about Holden’s future.I n marked contrast t o M r.Ant olini’s sy mpathetic understanding of Holden’s conditi on,allM r.Spence can do is t o un2 derline the head master’s observati on that life is a ga me and must be p layed according t o the rules.And,what is worse,M r.Spencer was even disgusting and cruel when he forces Holden t o read his exa m essay that gets a l ow mark about Egyp tians in s p ite of that Holden is s o e mbarrassed t o be laughed at by his hist ory teacher in his face.M r.Spencer is s o indifferent that he can never be a hel pful guide t o lead Holden t o get hi m self back.Perhap s his parting cry:“Good luck!”s ounds s o terrible t o Holden because taken literally it puts the outcome of Holden’s quest wholly on the level of chance,whereas what Holden is s o des peratelyis a p lan whereby he can contr ol his life.So,after Holden leavesM r.Spencer’s house,he is even more dep ressed.For the significance of their meeting,John C.Unrue su mmarizes it in this way:Their meeting has an i m portant functi on.It sho ws the first of several failed atte mp ts by potential adults guides t o understand Holden,t o gain his confidence and res pect,s o t o gain his trust.Spencer fails for the sa me reas on other adults fail:his advice is inauthent2 ic,stale,lacking in s pontaneity and t oo far re moved fr om its ins p iring essence t o res onate with Holden(Un2 rue,2001:106).After Holden’s search f or a catcher of hi m self fails,his idea changes subtly.Since he can’t find a trust w orthy adult,he assu mes the task of catching other children hi m self.W hen Holden goes back ho me t o see Phoebe,he tells her his drea m of being a catcher:“Any way,I keep p icturing these kids p laying s ome ga me in this big field of rye and all.Thousands of little kids,and nobody’s ar ound—nobody big,I mean—excep t me.And I’m standing on the edge ofs ome crazy cliff.W hat I have t o do,I have t o catch everybody if they started t o go over the cliff—Imean if they’re running and they don’t l ook where they’re go2 ing I have t o come out fr om s o me where and catch the m.That’s all I’d do all day.I’d just be a catcher in the rye and all.I know it’s crazy,but that’s the only thing I’d really like t o do.I know it’s crazy”(173).Fr om Holden’s own words,we know that like any other adolescent,once his cry for hel p gets no re2 s ponse,once his drea m of finding a guide is frustrated, this br oken drea m can lead t o a reacti on for mati on, that is,t o the creati on of an opposite wish.The wish of being caught has been rep laced by a wish of catching others.So Holden sinks his fantasy of being a catcher. W hen Holden is on his way t o the record st ore,in the street,he finds a little kid:“There was one nice thing.This fa m ily that you could tell just ca me out of s ome years old.They l ooked s ort of poor.—He(The father)and his wife were just walking al ong,talking not paying any attenti on t o their kid.The kid was s well.He was walking in the street, instead of on the side walk,but next t o the curb.He was making out like he was walking a very straight line,the way kids do,and the whole ti m e he kep t say2 ing and humm ing.I got up cl oser s o I could hear what he was singing.He was singing that s ong,“I f a body catch a body com ing thr ough the rye.”He had a p retty little voice,t oo.He was just singing f or the hell of it, you could tell.The cars z oomed by,brakes screeched all over the p lace,his parents paid no attenti on t o hi m,and he kep t on waling next t o the curb and sing2 ing“I f a body catch a body com ing thr ough the rye.”It made me feel better.It made me feel not s o de2 p ressed any more(114).Fr om this scene,we can see Holden is ins p ired by the kid’s s ong very much.First,Holden adm its that he feels“nice”about the p icture of the fa m ily, the kid is“s well”and“It made me feel better and not s o dep ressed any more”;second,fr om the later dia2 l ogue of Holden with Phoebe in their apart m ent,we see that Holden deliberately m isunderstands the s ong,he thinks the kid is singing“if a body catch a body47L I TERAT URE D iW enjie,Gao Ruixia/The Catcher in the R ye—An I nitiati on Talecom ing thr ough the rye”but Phoebe tells hi m that should be“if a body meet a body com ing thr ough the rye”.Holden still sticks t o his own mani pulated under2 standing“I thought it was I f a body catches a body com ing thr ough the rye’.”The reas on for Holden’s deliberate m isunderstanding is that Holden is eager t o gras p an excuse f or hi m t o be a catcher,s o he can do s omething t o save the gr owing kids who are in danger of running off the cliff,because,now he has started t o doubt the adults’ability of p r otecting the kids resulted fr om M r.Spencer’s bad exa mp le.And s o,when Holden sees t w o kids sitting on the seesa w,one of the m a little fat,he rashes t o offer a hand t o balance the seesa w.However,they refuse his hel p.The i m per2 fecti on in the seesa w ga me is just the i m perfecti on of life,of s ociety,and of reality.You can do nothing a2 bout it,and more i m portant,you needn’t do anything t o change it.That’s the truth of life,of existence.So later when Phoebe tells Holden in their apart m ent that the right s ong should be:if a body meets a body com ing thr ough the rye,we realize that in fact Phoebe is telling Holden that his drea m of being a catcher is just his Quixotic i m aginati on,it is not p ractical.The frustrati on of his drea m made Holden even more de2 p ressed.Then we see Holden’s ep i phany in the z oo when Phoebe was riding on the car ousel r ound and r ound:“A ll the kids kep t trying t o grab f or the g old ring, and s o was old Phoebe,and Iwas s ort of afraid she’d fall off the godda m horse,but I didn’t say anything or do anything.The thing with kids is,if they want t o grab f or the gold ring,you have t o let the m do it,notsay anything,I f they fall off,they fall off,but it’s bad if you say anything t o the m(211)”.Now Holden’s voice and observati on is fr om an elder pers on.W ith such a wareness,he feels j oyful:“I felt s o da mn happy all of a sudden,the way old Phoebe kep t going ar ound and ar ound.Iwas da mn near ba wling,I felt s o da mn happy,if you want t o know the truth.I don’t know why.It was just that she l ooked s o da mn nice,the way she kep t going ar ound and ar ound,in her blue coat and all.God,Iwish you could’ve been there(213)”.Fr om now on,Holden’s r ole has changed,t oo. Finally,Holden realizes that compared with Phoebe, he has already gr own up.Now,as an adult,it’s he who should p r otect Phoebe and watch her in case she would have“fallen off”.But,on the other hand, Holden als o recognized clearly that he cannot p r otect Phoebe any l onger.Phoebe will eventually gr ow up, will gr ow int o an adult t oo.She must live the life by herself;she must try t o experience all kinds of j oy and s orr ow,t o enj oy the happ iness of life and als o t o suffer the m isery of it.He’d better“let the m do it,and not say anything.”Only in this way,can a child become mature.Once Holden has such a wareness,Holden has finished his p r ocess of initiati on.【References】[1]Salinger,J.D.The Catcher in the Rye[M].Bost on:L ittle,B r own and Company,1951.[2]T om ing.A H istory of Am erican L iterature[M].Nanjing:Yi2lin Press,2002.[3]Unrue,John C,ed.L iterary M asterpieces.V olum e1:TheCatcher in the rye[M].Detr oit:Gale Gr oup,2001.《麦田里的守望者》,一个关于“入世”的故事邸文洁1,高瑞霞2(11内蒙古科技大学文学院;21包头医学院,内蒙古包头014300)[摘 要] 该论文通过从小说情节的角度分析霍顿的“自我认同”的心理发展过程来说明杰罗姆.塞林格的小说《麦田里的守望者》是一个关与“入世”的故事。

Summary: Chapter 1Holden Caulfield writes his story from a rest home to which he has been sent for therapy. He refuses to talk about his early life, mentioning only that his brother D.B. is a Hollywood writer. He hints that he is bitter because D. B. has sold out to Hollywood, forsaking a career in serious literature for the wealth and fame of the movies. He then begins to tell the story of his breakdown, beginning with his departure from Pencey Prep, a famous school he attended in Agerstown, Pennsylvania.Holden’s career at Pencey Prep has been marred by his refusal to apply himself, and after failing four of his five subjects—he passed only English—he has been forbidden to return to the school after the fall term. The Saturday before Christmas vacation begins, Holden stands on Thomsen Hill overlooking the football field, where Pencey plays its annual grudge match against Saxon Hall. Holden has no interest in the game and hadn’t planned to watch it at all. He is the manager of the school’s fencing team and is supposed to be in New York for a meet, but he lost the team’s equipment on the subway, forcing everyone to return early.Holden is full of contempt for the prep school, but he looks for a way to “say goodbye” to it. He fondly remembers throwing a football with friends even after it grew dark outside. Holden walks away from the game to go say goodbye to Mr. Spencer, a former history teacher who is very old and ill with the flu. He sprints to Spencer’s house, but since he is a heavy smoker, he has to stop to catch his breath at the main gate. At the door, Spencer’s wife greets Holden warmly, and he goes in to see his teacher.Summary: Chapter 2“Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.”(See Important Quotations Explained)Holden greets Mr. Spencer and his wife in a manner that suggests he is close to them. He is put off by his teacher’s rather decrepit condition but seems otherwise to respect him. In his sickroom, Spencer tries to lecture Holden about his academic failures. He confirms Pencey’s headmaster’s assertion that “[l]ife is a game” and tells Holden that he must learn to play by the rules. Although Spencer clearly feels affection for Holden, he bluntly reminds the boy that he flunked him, and even forces him to listen to the terrible essay he handed in about the ancient Egyptians. Finally, Spencer tries to convince Holden to think about his future. Not wanting to be lectured, Holden interrupts Spencer and leaves, returning to his dorm room before dinner.Analysis: Chapters 1–2Holden Caulfield is the protagonist of The Catcher in the Rye,and the mostimportant function of these early chapters is to establish the basics of his personality. From the beginning of the novel, Holden tells his story in a bitterly cynical voice. He refuses to discuss his early life, he says, because he is bored by “all that David Copperfield kind of crap.” He gives us a hint that something catastrophic has happened in his life, acknowledging that he writes from a rest home to tell about “this madman stuff” that happened to him around the previous Christmas, but he doesn’t yet go into specifics. The particularities of his story are in keeping with his cynicism and his boredom. He has failed out of school, and he leaves Spencer’s house abruptly because he does not enjoy being confronted by his actions.Beneath the surface of Holden’s tone and behavior runs a more idealistic, emotional current. He begins the story of his last day at Pencey Prep by telling how he stood at the top of Thomsen Hill, preparing to leave the school and trying to feel “some kind of a good-by.” He visits Spencer in Chapter 2 even though he failed Spencer’s history class, and he seems to respond to Mrs. Spencer’s kindness. What bothers him the most, in these chapters and throughout the book, is the hypocrisy and ugliness around him, which diminish the innocence and beauty of the external world—the unpleasantness of Spencer’s sickroom, for instance, and his hairless legs sticking out of his pajamas. Salinger thus treats his narrator as more than a mere portrait of a cynical postwar rich kid at an impersonal and pressure-filled boarding school. Even in these early chapters, Holden connects with life on a very idealistic level; he seems to feel its flaws so deeply that he tries to shield himself with a veneer of cynicism. The Catcher in the Rye is in many ways a book about the betrayal of innocence by the modern world; despite his bitter tone, Holden is an innocent searching desperately for a way to connect with the world around him that will not cause him pain. In these early chapters, the reader already begins to sense that Holden is not an entirely reliable narrator and that the reality of his situation is somehow different from the way he describes it. In part this is simply because Holden is a first-person narrator describing his own experiences from his own point of view. Any individual’s point of view, in any novel or story, is necessarily limited. The reader never forgets for a moment who is telling this story, because the tone, grammar, and diction are consistently those of an adolescent—albeit a highly intelligent and expressive one—and every event receives Holden’s distinctive commentary. However, Holden’s narrative contains inconsistencies that make us question what he says. For instance, Holden characterizes Spencer’s behavior throughout as vindictive and mean-spirited, but Spencer’s actions clearly seem to be motivated by concern for Holden’s well-being. Holden seems to be looking for reasons not to listen to Spencer.。

麦田守望者 13-15章概括 英文
Summary: Chapter 13Feeling like a coward for leaving Ernie’s, Holden walks the forty-one blocks from the nightclub back to the hotel. Along the way, he thinks about his gloves, which were stolen at Pencey. He imagines an elaborate confrontation with the unknown thief, but he acknowledges that he is a coward at heart, afraid of violence and confrontation. When he reaches the Edmont, he takes the elevator up to his room. The elevator operator offers to send him a prostitute for five dollars, and Holden, depressed and flustered, accepts. While waiting in his room, he again thinks about his cowardice, because he feels that his lack of aggression has prevented him from ever sleeping with a woman. Women, Holden believes, want a man who asserts power and control. As he broods, the prostitute, Sunny, arrives. She is a cynical young girl with a high voice. Holden becomes flustered, especially so when she removes her dress. She sits on his lap and tries to seduce him, but he is extremely nervous and tells her he is unable to have sex because he is recovering from an operation on his “clavichord.” He finally pays her the five dollars he owes and asks her to leave. She claims that the price is ten, but he refuses to pay her more, and she leaves in a huff.Summary: Chapter 14Holden sits in his hotel room and smokes for a while. He remembers an incident shortly before Allie’s death when he excluded Allie from a BB-gun game—he still feels guilty for having left Allie out. Eventually, he goes to bed. He feels like praying, but his distaste for organized religion prevents him from following through on his inclination. Suddenly, there is a knock at his door. In his pajamas, Holden opens the door to face the burly elevator operator, Maurice, who has returned with Sunny to collect the extra five dollars Sunny demanded. Holden tries to refuse, but Maurice pins him against a wall while Sunny takes the money from his wallet. Maurice snaps his finger into Holden’s groin, and Holden starts to insult him in response. Maurice slugs Holden in the stomach and leaves him crumpled on the floor. Holden imagines himself as a movie character, taking his revenge on Maurice after having been plugged in the gut with a gangster’s bullet. Finally, he manages to get into bed and go to sleep.Summary: Chapter 15The next morning, Holden calls Sally Hayes and makes a date with her for later that afternoon. He checks out of the hotel and leaves his bags in a locker at Grand Central Station. He worries about losing his money and mentions that his father frequently gets angry when Holden loses things. He also describes his mother a bit, noting that she “hasn’t felt too healthy since my brother Allie died.” Holden worries that the news of his expulsion will particularly distress his fragile mother, for whom he seems to care a great deal.Holden goes to eat breakfast at a little sandwich bar, where he meets two nunswho are moving to Manhattan to teach in a school. Holden thinks about the superficial money-driven world of the prep school he has just left. Then he talks to one of the nuns about Romeo and Juliet. Despite his earlier expression of distaste for organized religion, he forces them to take ten dollars as a charitable contribution. After they leave, although he realizes he needs money to pay for his date with Sally, he begins to regret having given only ten dollars. He concludes that money always makes people depressed.Analysis: Chapters 13–15During his previous expeditions around town, Holden maintained a distance from the people he was with, dismissing them with scorn. As a result, he was able to protect his vision of an ideal world: instead of dealing with real people and situations, he daydreams about Phoebe’s innocence and Jane’s warmth. Up to this point, Holden has been able to avoid a clash between his real and his ideal worlds, but in these chapters, the conflict becomes unavoidable, and Holden is caught in a moment of crisis and danger.Sunny represents another of Holden’s attempts at female companionship, but she could not be more different from the idealized Jane for whom Holden yearns. Whereas Holden’s relationship with Jane brought him emotional satisfaction, his relationship with a prostitute can only be superficial, sexual, and devoid of emotion. But Jane appears only in Holden’s memory, while the prostitute appears in his room. She concretizes Holden’s continual conflict, representing something he both wants and doesn’t want, something he needs yet fears.The tension between Holden’s growing sexuality and his fragile innocencegrows much stronger throughout this section. He wants to live in a beautiful world, but the pressure of his emerging sexuality and the demands of his loneliness compel him to enter into encounters with people like Maurice and Sunny. Such encounters are so far removed from the idealized encounters he fantasizes about that he departs from them much more hurt and wounded than before. Scared of the adult world, Holden clearly shies away from intimacy andis terrified of his burgeoning sexuality: he is too scared both to call Jane and to sleep with Sunny. He takes refuge in isolation, but this isolation only deepensthe pain of alienation and loneliness.While the harm Maurice and Sunny cause Holden is obvious, there are much more subtle reasons why his encounter with the nuns leaves him feeling hurt and wounded. Holden has constructed a simplistic divide between childhood, which he sees as innocent and good, and adulthood, which he finds superficial and evil. This worldview allows him to maintain his cynical barrier of defense: he is able to rationalize his loneliness by pretending that every adult around him is phony and annoying. In a way, Holden’s encounter with Maurice and Sunny helps Holden by reaffirming his understanding of a cruel and senseless adult world. But the nuns are kind, intelligent, and sympathetic. They don’t conform to his stereotypedunderstanding of organized religion, nor do they seem to have the phoniness that Holden expects of anything institutionalized. He is surprised that one nun loves Romeo and Juliet and that they can have a conversation about it.。

About Holden
Holden is a middle-school student，although he only then 16 years old, but stands head and shoulders above others compared to the average man, all day is putting on the windproof raincoat, wears the duckbill cap, loafs,and is not willing to study.He finds in school all teachers, schoolmates, schoolwork, sports match and so on, all boring thoroughly.A semester had ended, and 4 of his 5 schoolworks dool authorities，he is dismissed. Holden shares a dream (based on a mishearing of Robert Burns' Comin' Through the Rye) acting himself as the sole guardian of numerous children playing in a huge rye field on the edge of a cliff. His job is to catch the children in case that they wander close to the brink; Holden believes that to be a "catcher in the rye" means to save children from losing their innocence. Holden describes everything as 'phoney' and is constantly in search of sincerity. Holden represents the early hero of adolescent angst, but full of life, he is the great literary opposite of Goethe's young Werther.

He likes the record because, although it is for children, it is sung by a black blues singer who makes it sound raunchy, not cute. He thinks about Phoebe, whom he considers to be a wonderful girl because, although she’s only ten, she always understands what Holden means when he talks to her. He sees an oblivious little boy walking in the street, singing, “If a body catch a body coming through the rye.”The innocence of the scene cheers him up, and he decides to call Jane, although he hangs up when her mother answers the phone. In preparation for his date with Sally, he buys theater tickets to a show called “I Know My Love,” which stars the Lunts.Holden wants to see Phoebe, and he goes to look for her in the park becausehe remembers that she often roller-skates there on Sundays. He meets a girl who knows Phoebe. At first, she tells him that his sister is on a school trip to the Museum of Natural History, but then she remembers that the trip was the previous day. Nevertheless, Holden walks to the museum, remembering hisown class trips. He focuses on the way life is frozen in the museum’s exhibits: models of Eskimos and Indians stand as though petrified and birds hang fromthe ceiling, seemingly in mid-flight. He remarks that every time he went to the museum, he felt that he had changed, while the museum had stayed exactlythe same.Summary: Chapter 17At two o’clock, Holden goes to meet Sally at the Biltmore Hotel; she is late but looks very attractive, so he immediately forgives her tardiness. They make out in the taxi on the way to the theater. At the play, the actors annoy Holden because, like Ernie the piano player, they are almost too good at what they do and seem full of themselves. During intermission, Sally irritates Holden by flirting with a pretentious boy from Andover, another prep school, but he nonetheless agrees to take her ice-skating at “Radio City” (Radio City Music Hall is part of Rockefeller Center, where there is an ice-skating rink) after the show. While skating, Holden speculates that Sally only wanted to go ice-skating so she could wear a short skirt and show off her “cute ass,” but he admits that he finds it attractive. When they take a break and sit down indoors, Holden begins to unravel. Oscillating between shouting and hushed tones, he rants about all the “phonies” at his prep schools and in New York society, and talks about how alienated he feels. He becomes even more crazy and impetuous, saying that he and Sally should run away together and escape from society, living on their own in a cabin. When she points out that his dreams are ridiculous, he becomes more and more agitated. The quarrel builds until Holden calls Sally a “royal pain in the ass,” and she begins tocry. Holden starts to apologize, but Sally is upset and angry with him, and, finally, he leaves without her.Analysis: Chapters 16–17Things go from bad to worse for Holden in these chapters. His behavior during his date with Sally is the surest sign yet that he is heading toward emotional collapse. Throughout his tirade, Sally asks Holden to stop yelling, and he claims not to have been yelling, indicating that he is unaware of his own extreme agitation. His attempt to convince a shallow socialite like Sally to run away with him to a cabin in the wilderness also shows his increasing distance from reality—or, at least, his inability to deal with the reality in which he finds himself.Though Holden admits his behavior is odd when he says, “I swear to God I’m a madman,” he doesn’t do much to explain its significance. Salinger continues to drop hints—like Sally’s requests for Holden to stop yelling—to signal that the story behind Holden’s narration is darker and more troubling than it might at first appear. His mood swings with Sally serve a similar purpose. When he first sees her, he is convinced he is in love with her. He then alternates between annoyance and rapturous passion for the duration of their date, until he finally tells her that she gives him “a royal pain in the ass.” Sally’s coldness and her lack of compassion are reflective of the greater world’s lack of concern about Holden’s plight. Except for Jane and Phoebe, no one in his world seems to care how he feels, so long as he observes social norms. Only when his actions violate those norms does anyone notice his disturbed state, and even then, their usual response, like Sally’s, is to criticize him. Despite the fact that Sally is obviously not a good match for him, Holden claims that at the moment he proposed that they run away together, he did truly love her. His feelings are irrational, but they indicate how desperate he is to find love.This desperate need for love is counterbalanced by his inability to deal with the complexities of the real world. Like his encounter with the nuns in Chapter 15, his date with Sally demonstrates how ill-equipped he is to deal with actual people. Sally does not seem to be a very complex character, but Holden cannot connect with her at all. His wild proposals are not the kind of thing Sally is interested in, and he displays callousness when he insults her. As Holden proposes impossible schemes only to lash out when their ridiculousness is made apparent, his oversimplified, idealized fantasy world begins to seem less endearing and more dangerous.After the fiasco with Sally, Holden retreats into nostalgic desires to return to childhood. In recalling his visits to the Museum of Natural History, Holden indicates that he wants life to be like the tableaux he loves: frozen, unchanging, simple, and readily comprehensible. He says that he wishes that everything inlife could be placed inside glass cages and preserved, like in the museum. His encounter with Sally shows that he cannot deal with the complexity, conflict,and change of real life. In the museum’s world, communication is unidirectional: Holden can judge the exhibits, but the exhibits cannot judge him back. After he upsets Sally, he feels terrible and tries desperately to set things right, but he fails, and he cannot tolerate the stressful situation in which he has enmeshed himself. Isolation, he finds, is simpler than the stress that accompanies conflict.Holden’s nostalgic love of the museum is rather tragic: it represents his hopeless fantasizing, his inability to deal with the real world, and his unwillingness to think about his own shortcomings. He mentions that every time he returns to the museum, he is disturbed because he has changed while the displays have not. But he is unwilling to probe further. He readily admits that he can’t explain what he means, and probably wouldn’t want to even if he could. Holden is unwilling to confront his own problems, protecting himself with a shell of cynical comments and outlandish behavior.。

麦田里的守望者章节概括篇一：麦田里的守望者章节概括】chapter 1the catcher in the rye begins with a statement by the narrator,holden caulfield, that he will not recount his “ lousy ” childhood and “ all that david copperfield kind of crap ” because such details bore him. he describes his parents as nice but “ touchy as he ll. ” instead, holden vows to relate what happened to him around last christmas, before he had to take it easy. he also mentions his brother, d.b., who is nearby in hollywood “ beinga prostitute. ” holden was a student at pencey prep inagerstown, pennsylvania, and he mocks their advertisements, which claim to have been molding boys into clear-thinking young men since 1888.holden begins his story during the saturday of the football game with saxon hall, which is supposed to be a big deal at pencey. selma thurmer, the daughter of the headmaster, is at the game, but holden is not. although she is unattractive and a bit pathetic, to holden she seems nice enough because she avoids lavishing praise upon her father. holden, the manager of the fencing team, has just returned from new york with the team. although they were supposed to have a meet with the mcburney school, holden left the foils on the subway. the fencing team became furious with holden, but he cannot help but find humor in the bad situation. holden has not gone to the game as a result of his sudden unpopularity. instead he chooses to say goodbye to spencer, his history teacher, who knows that holden is not coming back to pencey. it turns out that holden has recently been expelled for failing four classes. chapter twoholden finds spencer ' s house somewhat depressing, smellingof vicks nose drops and clearly underscoring the old age of its inhabitants. mr. spencer sits in a ratty old bathrobe and asks holden to sit down. holden tells him that dr. thurmer lectured him about how “life is a game ” and that one should “ play itaccording to the rules ”jus—t before he expelled him. mr.spencer replies that dr. thurmer was correct, but holden holdsto the thought that life is only a game if you are on the right side.holden tells mr. spencer that his parents will be upset, for this is his fourth private school so far. holden recounts that, at sixteen, he is over six feet tall and has somegray hair, but still acts like a child, as others often tell him. spencer says that he met with holden ' s parents, who are “ grand ” people, but holden dismisses that word as “ phony. ” spencer then tells holden thathe failed him in history because he knew nothing. spencer reads him his exam essay about the egyptians, which is woefully inadequate. at the end of the exam, holden left a note for mr. spencer admitting that he was not interested in the egyptians despite spencer ' s interesting lectures, noting that hewould accept if mr. spencer failed him.as holden and mr. spencer continue to talk, holden ' s mindwanders to the ducks in central park. he wonders how they suddenly vanish in the winter and where they go. when spencer asks why holden quit elkton hills, he replies that it is a long story. in short, the people there were phonies. he mentions the particular quality of the headmaster, mr. haas, who would be charming toward everyone except the “ fun-nylooking parents. ” holden claims he has little interest in thefuture, and he assures spencer that he is just going through a phase. as hold en leaves, he hears spencer say “ good luck, ” a phrase that he particularly loathes.analysisin chapter 1, j.d. salinger has his protagonist begin the catcher in the rye with a bold and sarcastic declaration. holden immediately rejects the idea that the events that he describes in the novel consist of his life story or that this story is indicative of any larger message. he eschews the dickensian idea of literature in novels like david copperfield, in which the plot and narrative progress with a moral message, and he does not intend to inspire sympathy for himself like another david copperfield or oliver twist. besides, he is probably at a boarding school because his parents are wealthy. instead of pointing toward a moral, he adopts a discursive style with no concrete message. his story is what it is, and holden ' s story ishis own, not really a cautionary tale for others. as holdeninsists, his tale exists independent of any larger meaning or message. nevertheless, a reader might pick up on salinger ' s tuhsee of conventions of a cautionary tale; there is something human about his experience that may well teach us something about not living badly. holden indicates that he has to“take it easyat a new place, strongly implying that he now is receiving psychiatric or psychological help. the details in the first chapter already indicate that he has pursued an aimless, selfdestructive path. expelled from school for failing several classes, holden essentially describes himself as a perpetual failure. even worse, inhis failings he appears to have a strong disregard for others. his solipsistic self-destruction makes him unable to grasp the consequences of his actions, such as when he chooses humor and argues that he somehow is not responsible after he loses the fencing equipment on the trip to new york.at this point, the major literary devices to take note of are a strong point of view, anchored in the first-person narrator, as well as a clear sense of the novel ' s themes. the tone of thenovel is also interesting to explore because holden dominates the narrative so overtly. while holden ' s tone is sarcastic and mocking, the tone of the novel seems more melancholy; we can already sense our antihero ' s loneliness and pain.in chapter 2, salinger continues to develop the history of holden caulfield. it is not his full life story, but this recent history is perhaps the most telling part of his life so far. salinger gradually indicates that caulfield has a longer history and troubles that are more deeply rooted than those of the conventional disaffected teenager; holden moves from boarding school to boarding school with no sense of purpose. even holden ' s style of narration reveals his lack of a coherent vision. he admits that he cannot concentrate on any particular topic, thinking about ice skating while mr. spencer lectures him.as established in the previous chapter, holden exemplifies the typical teenage feeling of alienation. he rejects the idea that life is a game, convinced that he is a misunderstood underdog (despite being a teenager privileged enough to move easily among eastern prep schools), and he justifies his immaturityby claiming that he is going through a phase. his critiques are glib and without much substance, such as his insistence that others are “ phonies ”dahnis dislike of certain phrases such as“ good luck. ” he may be right in his critique, realizing that social relations and language are very often inauthentic, but his level of alienation has been taken to the extreme of making him unfit for regular human society. holden ' s diatribes against phonies are particularly instructive, but he does not always practice what he preaches; although he insists upon authenticity, he humors and flatters mr. spencer by agreeing with him.holden, then, demonstrates a great aversion for everything associated with adulthood, such as the smell of vicks nose drops that permeates mr. spencer ' s home and the behavior ofmr. haas, just as he occupies a precarious space between childhood and the adult world. in appearance he is an adult, with his tall stature and prematurely graying hair, yet as he and others around him realize, he is still quite immature.holden ' s behavior is not typical and excusable adolescent behavior, and mr. spencer shatters hisideal of authenticity by dismissin g holden ' s vague justifications for his behavior and by confronting him with his failures. holden' s desire to be authentic looks more like solipsism, a critique to which holdencannot respond. but what if holden is just taking a【篇二：麦田里的守望者章节概括】麦田里的守望者梗概（一）主人公霍尔顿是出身于富裕中产阶级的十六岁少年，在第四次被开除出学校之后，不敢贸然回家，只身在美国最繁华的纽约城游荡了一天两夜，住小客店，逛夜总会，滥交女友，酗酒他看到了资本主义社会的种种丑恶，接触了各式各样的人物，其中大部分是假模假式的伪君子。

The bursting of the dream reflects the situation of society. Anger and anxiety is two themes of the book. This article caused us to contemporary social status thinking. This book is known as one of the classic works of American literature of the twentieth Century.第二部分：This book hero young holden is expelled from school for four courses. He wears peaked cap, large dust coat, smoking, drinking. His character has the ugly side as well as their own ideals of pure side, he is also against to reality.Holton Calder was a student of sixteen who was born in a wealthy middle class family in New York. Teachers and parents forced him to study hard in order to become a wealthy people. But what he did in school was something like women, wine and sex, he couldn’t stand all around. He had no desire to study hard, when he was expelled from school the fourth times, he did not dare to go home. He waswandering alone in New York City the most prosperous city of America one day and two nights, he couldn’t help and cuddled with his vanity girlfriend. At the same time, he is very depressed, he was attempt to escape the false adult world, and found pure and truth. This spirit is not accordant contradictions finally made him thoroughly collapse, which made him lie in a mental hospital.It was not hard to see that the hero has a pure and good, the pursuit of a better life and the lofty ideals of childlike innocence. He is very disgusted and helpless to those people who are keen on sex and wine, he feel aversion to his power false principal. From his multiple and struggle inner world we can see his stray of his inner world. He wiped the words which were intolerable to the eye on walls, he generously donated when he met nun. He took care of his sister with sincere love, he even wanted to be a "crop of the watchers" to protect the children for all of his life. All these things let us see the love of the hero in his inner pure and peaceful world. Unfortunately these some cynical strong thought caused negative resistance. Sensitive, curious, pins of his heart needed to vent. Impulsive adolescent psychology makes the hero disgusted in study once again. Do not makeprogress, the pursuit of stimulation, or even be cynical, which made a rebellious attitude grew and expanded. However, he felt there is no one could be trusted in adult world. Finally, he remembered these theories“A mark of the immature man is that he wants to die in heroic way, A mark of the mature man is that he wants to live in humble wa y”. He could not endure in the social reality of the ways of the world, what he longed for is simple and sincere, but what he met was hypocrisy and deceit. When he found himself unable to change the present situation, he became depressed and helpless. There only left pang, hesitation and indulgence in his heart. The last he even wanted to escape from the real world,he wanted to be a deaf and dumb and went to the hinterland. All this tragedy is in the specific environment and context which caused by.In the 1950 s the United States is a quite chaotic period, World War II has not dissipated the haze, the cold war flared again. On one hand the technology developed rapidly; on the other hand, people lacked the ideal and felt depression, because of their unable to change the big social background, they lived in a muddy lethargy life. So Holton was one of them, he lived in a nonstriving life with smokingand drinking. Fortunately he did not made himself drug, because in his deep heart, there were always exist a beautiful and distant dream for him to chase. He also wanted to keep this his original intention——The Catcher in the Rye第三部分：To be honest, when I read the book For the first time, I didn't like Holden Caulfield. I thought he was a bad student, for he doesn't study hard, and he is always talking about women, he drinks a lot of alcohol. All in all he lives a decadent life. In his mind, he doesn't have lofty ideals, such as to be a scientist, a teacher, or an engineer. His dream is just to be a catcher in the rye. However when I read the story of Holden for the second time, my views changed a lot.I began to feel sympathy for him and think he is a good boy in nature. The reason why he turns to be a bad guy is the environment around him. His teachers tell him to study hard just in order to buy an expensive car in the future. His president treats different students with different attitudes. He smiles to the students from rich families, makes handshakes with their parents initiatively, but he shows unfriendliness to the students from poor families. The hypocritical side of the adult world makes Holden verydisappointed, so he uses the alcohol to anaesthetize himself. He thinks he could use the extreme ways to escape from the world or attract the attentions of the adults. On the contrary, he is just a boy who has mental problems in the eyes of the adults. The ending of the story is not a happy one, in another words; the whole story is a tragedy."The catcher in the Rye" is valued, not just because the author has created a new style of art; use the first person to talk the book, but also because it highlights the spiritual essence of a capitalist society. People live a life not only need material, but also a spirit in life. And in a relatively affluent society, the spiritual life is often more important than the material life. Children live in the new era gradually find the essence of confusion. They also understand the gap between the reality and the dream is inevitable. Learn to refuse indecision and flawless, and let the dream enkindles in life may be a better state.We university students’ minds contemporary are becoming increasingly complicate than ever before. They are also pondering their fates and futures like Holden did, who need more love and guidance on the way to grow-up. “To love and be loved”, is what we are calling for.I could not help stir when behave study life over the years, had become numb to their own, gradually recognized the false side of the community have begun to integrate themselves into the subconscious which became a part of them. The total does not admit the reality that we reside in a carefree childhood. Parents taught us how to go step by step his castle fortification. First of all have to go to school, put aside all the tempting things around, then we must strive to realize their social value. In short, everything seems to be style. Maybe we could do it their favorite, but others may think what we do is wasting time.Keep watch, a pure sky, take one's ease, travel in the endless spirit space and can not extricate themselves; keep watch, a pair of dream hunter eyes, act recklessly and care for nobody, eager to owe opinionated pleasure. Rye, Catcher, what a beautiful picture. People will fall into deep reverie inadvertently, and indulge in the hero's inner world.。

麦田里的守望者 英文版 读书报告
麦田里的守望者英文版读书报告Catcher in the rye10140128 陈葭碧Catcher in the rye wrote a 16 years old boy,called Holden ,who was born in a rich middle class family .He escaped from school after being expelled in the fourth time .Then he went to the United States of New York city in one day and two whole story tells ahout his such a special experience. It not only vividly depicted a delicate restlessness of the middle class children’s depressed, lonely and cynical spirit world,and the psychological characteristics of adolescents’ a mass of contradictions, but also criticized the the hypocrisy in the adult society.The beginning of the story from Pencey school. Pencey middle school is very famous and has a great popularity in people’s minds, however, the hero describes the pencey middle school follow as “ Pencey is just as other schools,it can’t cultivate talents at all. And I don’t see any outstanding , intelligent and excellent students.” Besides, he also said there are a plenty of thieves in pencey middle s chool. In holden’s opinion, the most unforgivable thing in that school is fuilledwith hypocritical people, especially the is very he sees ordinary parents,he just say hello to see the rich and powerful who drive a good car, he will talk with them enthusiasmly in a long time. Besides the disgusted Acle and Mr Rudd tower. The reason that Holden leaves pencey is not for he failed six subjects, but there are a lot hypocriteif there are endless glory and splendor, but the entire campus is indifferent and almost to be a no human world.There is no happiness in Holden’s if he can feel happy, it is only a few people to give him. His reject good things, although it is a real concern. When his history teacher Spencer tells him that his parents are the best felt very disgusted, he heartily hates the word “better”. While it’s hard for me to imagine, as a child,why he could think so ugly about the world? Though there are many ugly things in this world, too. He even thinks some tiny little things very hateful. When he sees a boy who is just like a guy in the street and get together with his girlfriend. If they laugh constantly, he thinks their laugh is simply but not somebody else playing a tune, he also thinks the man is just show off his a woman with a child is being moved and cry at the movies, he also considered a phony. He even boring to hate Christians. In Holden’s eyes, all sorts ofthings is just a fake death of farce.When Holden sees the ugly side of life, he tells his loneliness without any reservation. This kind of loneliness is not a simple sadness in the sense of solitude, but it is not a person can really understand him. Although he hates Mr Rudd tower, he would also like to dance in front of him. “I also need an audience and I also like to in front of others to show off myself”This is the voice of his heart, he need to hear, to understand and not a elegantly false face and the soft greetings. Can a person feel happy without the audiences? The bus drivers wants him to throw snowballs, and he said he will not threw to anyone, but the bus driver doesn’t believe. “People just don’t believe your words” Holton said：“No one understands him. The meet between the old man and him is not happy, because their views are one the other hand, he is very desire to communicate with the old ma n. According to our today’s understanding, if the man is not bosom friend, it isn’t necessary to explain. However he is too lonely, no one accompanies to him and talk to him,so he was very lonely. Thus under inevitable loneliness, he even thought to find prostitutes and he just wants to talk with her, but the final result is being deceived and has also been beat by the rascal Maurice.In our opinion, holden isn’t a good student, but he has innocence and kindness in his heart just like other children’s. When he take a taxi for twice, he asked the driver that:”Where should shallow-water ducks go in the central park when the lake is froz en ?”This is a funny concerned about ducks and he is also sympathetic. In Edmond hotel, when he saw a old man worked as the he thought it is very difficult to let an old man to do such a encountered bad suitcase in hand, the two sister eat only bread and coffee for breakfast, he even still hate to eat salted fish thought that when they didn’t teach ,how can they take the oldstraw basket to raise money in everywhere and will meet all kinds of situations, even attract by others despistion . From these things,we can conclude that he was very sympathetic. His brother and sister had a larger influence on holden’s have dead for a long that day of Alli’s death , holden broken all of the windowsuntil his hands were bleeding. We can see that Alli ,as it were, the most important person in his is not a fake. it is undoubtedly a huge strike for holden on her death. She wanted to escape from this world and to find her own spiritual home. He said to Sally:”They can go to the forest to built their own cabin by themselves and leave away from the their relativest cometo visit them,they still don’t welcome.” In fact, Holden doesn’t hate this world, but hate something ugly. In Galveston, the poor James Kaiser was killed by a group of that group of boys are still world really has a dark side, and even today, although the state attaches great importance to the legal system, but there are still many people ignore the law under the various network of relationships. We don’t have to worry about these, because frankly speaking, we can’t change the circumstances .Jsut like holden can’t change the time, sometimes, we’d better be ourselves.Holden’s character is very complex, on the one hand, he himself has many problems, he criticizes people around him, but times displays as much phoniness, meanness and superficality as anyone else in the book.On the other hand, his spiritual world is innocent, he hates all phony things while seeks sincerity and love and he himself is a person full of love. He loves children, because children from falling into the cliff referring to the adult world which he associates with hypocrisy and ugliness. He doesn’t want children to step into the adult world; he wants them to stay innocent forever. That is why when he sees the word “fuck you” on the wall of Phoebe’s school he is so angry that he even wantsto kill the guy who wrote it. His degeneration is in essence a kind of resistance, because he doesn’t want to wallow in mire with those guys he despises. “Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobod y’saround--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff--I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come ou t from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be.”This paragraph is the most famous part from the to some extent,it reflects why the book is named by Catcher in the rye.Holden was those of a very troubled person who deserved our sympathy more often than our praise. A close look at what Holden did, nonetheless, revealed that he possessed very strong moral, compassionateinstincts. Though Holden struggled against everything, even left away from the real world, he choose to adjusted himself to accept the real world to be a catcher in the real life. The Catcher in the Rye left many useful points to us forcogitation. Thus instead of treating the novel as a commentary by a innocent young man rebelling against an intensive world or as a study of a youth’s moral growth, we regarded it as a guide that give us a hand to overcome the depression when we are stuck in it. We should learn to adjust ourself to the society.With an acceleration in the rate of economic growth, college graduates have to fight for jobs in a highly competitive market. What we need is not only the high level of competence in our profession, but also the practical and sensible trait to realize the fact that we shouldn’t give up until we have exhausted all the possibilities. Facing with the confuse problems, we should never compromise to them. We should accommodate ourself to live in the world. And it is the faith that pulls Holden back into the who liv in that faith will never feel lonely or lose the way.。
