关于睡谷传奇的评论1

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow欧文从书本中寻找和发现传说,再用自己的经历改写这种幽默的传说,本能地将其融合到自己创作的素材中。

他刻画了一个极其滑稽的伊克保德,使人们难以忘怀。

虽然美国人都喜欢赢家,可欧文描写的布鲁姆·波尼更接近现实生活,却不易记住。

当然,伊克保德并不是一个彻底的失败者。

他所失去的只是一个农场姑娘的爱和自尊心。

何况这位姑娘并不爱他。

伊克保德这名字出自圣经,象征着没落了的宗教信仰和衰败了的世界秩序的遗憾,也是表示追惜往日的光荣。

他的名字也暗示了一种衰老。

“她给孩子起名叫伊克保德并说:光荣从以色列离开了。

”(Isam iv 21)当然,伊克保德不是古以色列犹太人。

虽然是一位受人尊敬的与时代不相符合的人物,却是一位美国英雄。

因此,他永垂不朽。

他离开睡谷后,在城市里成功了。

布鲁姆·波尼却留在村庄了,并且还得到了心爱的姑娘。

他比伊克保德更应该得到这位姑娘的爱,因为在与伊克保德的竞争中,布鲁姆·波尼经受了嫉妒和强烈的爱这两种感情的折磨。

伊克保德只有恐惧感和野心,却没有爱情。

他不是一个失败者,他生活充实和富裕,完全体验了这两种感情带给他的生存的意义。

那就是在睡谷的恐惧和在纽约的野心,也是同样的野心促使他向凯璀娜求婚,后来又促使他坐上了编辑和法官的位子。

这种勃勃的野心只有在大城市里才能实现。

在民间传说中的睡谷里不可能实现。

因为这里的村民像空气一样纯洁。

伊克保德不是一个完美的人。

这个知识分子满脑子都是些不合时代的想法。

他的心思都在追求物质上。

这种人只能在腐败的文明中才能产生。

----选自人物的原创与作品的原创---读华盛顿·欧文的《睡谷的传说》高庆选(青海师范大学外语系青海西宁810008) The story of Washington Irving…s the legend of sleepy hollow was brought from the ancient folk legends of Germany. Though the story was not originally created by him, by change the setting of he wrote a tale of the culture of American.Throughout Washington Irving…s life, he had traveled to Europe for three times during which he learned the history and culture as well as literature and arts of European countries. His experiences in Europe have tremendous shaped his works. The legend of sleepy hollow was a combination of ancient folk legends and his unique thoughts mainly came from his experiences.An important character in the legend of sleepy hollow is Ichabod Crane, who was act as an instructor for the children of the tranquil sleepy hollow. “The cognomen of Crane was not inapplicable to his person. He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together. His head was small, and flat at top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock perched upon his spindle neck to tell which way the wind blew”. He did that job neither out of enjoying getting together with students nor out of liking the quiet place. He was not an original of thehollow, in another words, he is a later comer. Thus, in many aspects, he was different from other people in the place. He was not welcomed among most men, while welcomed by many women, especially by those married women whose husbands are not very gentle. Ichabod Crane was special in the place; his behaviors were not the same as others. Usually, he had to do something to gain favorable Impression to get meals and accommodation in his students‟homes to survive him. In his heart, he desperately long for a rich life, when there occurred an opportunity to married Katrina V an Tassel, the only daughter of a substantial Dutch farmer, he grasp it firmly for that could make a great change of his situation. What frustrated him was his competitor Brom V an Brunt, the hero of the country round defeated him at the end, then married to Katrina V an Tassel. However, Ichabod Crane was forced to leave the sleep hollow by the tricks played by his rival. Failure as he was in the country, he became a successor in the city of New Y ork.In the story, it is true that Brom V an Brunt was a successor in pursuing Katrina V an Tassel‟s love, but just as the comment above, he was not a hero in readers mind and was not remembered by readers. He may love his girl deeper than Ichabod Crane for his move was deeply related to the girl‟s attitude toward him, and he spared no efforts to demean his rival. He deserved to win his girl‟s love though the methods he used were a little unfair. Moreover, a man like him is more suitable to live in the country. As to Ichabod Crane, he was so abhorrent in that place. His love to Katrina V an Tassel was deep on her father‟s fortune, rather than love come from sincere. What‟s more, his behaviors and thoughts have a sharp difference with others. Thus he was doomed to not integrate into the country. It was suggested that the outside world was better for him from his latter successful experiences in New Y ork City. In the outside world, his ability was applied to the situation where it is needed, his behaviors were accepted by others, and his ambitions were satisfied by his efforts.There was an old saying that when there is a will, there is a way. However, without appropriate environment, a strong will could make nothing different. The example of Ichabod Crane is a strong proof. If he did not leave that sleep hollow that full of residents without any ambitions, he would never live up to his expectation. Once he set himself in a right place, he could gain what he wanted if there was opportunity and endeavors.During the developing period of capitalism, it is inevitable that the value of people under the capitalism rule is sometimes twisty, especially when the value of the capitalism itself has some problems. The value of Ichabod Crane in the story was a product of times. Mostly, it seemed to be unavoidable, it tended to be destined. Many people at that time held the same values as Ichabod Crane, it is also an fact that now a majority have the same faith with Ichabod Crane.。

我们再来看看人们对他离去的反应。被死亡后，在他生活了这么久、付出了许多的地方，他却只是个可有可无的人。他本不属于睡谷这个桃花源式的地方，所以最终还是被赶出了荷兰人的领地。
但是，换个角度，或许无头骑士的出现为他指明了一条新的出路，改变了他的人生轨迹，或者，帮他解了围，逃脱塔里镇原有的生活也许才是他此时此刻唯一的选择与出路，不必再为他的蹩脚的讨好与奉承感到惭愧或尴尬。
欧文的文风模仿中有创新，有自己独特的风格，其文笔清新、自然、诙谐、富于乐感。欧文笔下的《睡谷的传说》具有批判性，如《唐・吉柯德》一样具备极为强烈的讽刺意味，但读者同时又会为主人公的遭遇深感同情。为此，有人评价欧文的文字是双刃剑，实属当之无愧。

新的地方、新的生活、新的心情，如果他足够勇敢、坚强，用自己的智慧在新的城市过上自食其力的生活，实现自己的价值，树立正确的人生观和价值观，不再幻想用婚姻作为牟利的手段和捷径。通过自己亲手奋斗得来的幸福和安逸生活，虽不如所谓通过婚姻而能换取的富贵生活优越，却也不失为一种多少人寻求不到的简单和快乐。值得庆幸的是他在纽约也找到了施展的天地，他得到了律师执照，变成了政客，奔走竞选，给报纸投稿，最终当上了法官。

美国文学review The Legend of Sleepy Hollow 睡谷的传说

REVIEW–The Legend of Sleepy Hollow At my first sight, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow seemed like an innocent tale about a superstitious New England town threatened by a strange new comer, Ichabod Crane. However, Washington Irving is never the man writing according to the common sense. “Once upon a time” is the predictable beginning of a fairy tale and “happily ever after”is the ending. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is a classical myth that defies the conventional standards of a fairy tale. This descriptive narrative is more than just a simple tale, because it addresses several gender issues deserving attention. Setting in a valley in New England, it’s a gothic tale of mystery and suspense.In this short story, there are two main characters, Ichabod Crane and Bram Bones. These two heroic characters both desire the same woman, Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a substantial Dutch farmer. Apart from the fact that they both yearn for the same woman, these two men are completely different creatures. They are the representatives of different sides in the new America period. The conflict between Enlightenment and Romantic ideals is narrated. Irving’s story is an exploration of the conflict between these two schools of thought. Irving uses his setting, his characters, and his moral to criticize the Enlightenment. At first reading, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow may seem no more than a dreamy folk tale. But when read in the context of the emerging resistance to Enlightenment thinking, it reveals itself to be the pioneer of American Romantic literature.Irving’s style is easy to find in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Differing frompreceding writers, he is a setting master, creating a new way for American literature after the War of Independence. Normally, literature and politics are affected by each other. Irving’s work followed the time and exceeded it perfectly。

TheLegendofSleepyHollow沉睡谷传说英文概述

One day Ichabod was invited to a big party at the Van Tassel’s home. He dressed in his best clothes. A farmer loaned him an old horse for the long trip to the party. Brom Bones also rode to the party on his fastest horse.
She was the only daughter of a young man named Brom
rich Dutch farmer.
Bones loved Katrina.
Ichabod's eyes opened wide when he saw the riches of Katrina's farm: the miles of apple trees and wheat fields, and hundreds of fat farm animals. He saw himself as master of the Van Tassel farm with Katrina as his wife. So Ichabod made his plan silently and secretly---visited Katrina's farm and made her think he was helping her to learn better.
Ichabod kicked and hit his old horse with all his power. Ichabod looked back to see if the headless m man picked up his head and threw it to Ichabod. It hit Ichabod in the face and knocked him off his horse.

睡谷的传说简介

《睡谷的传说》是美国短篇小说的经典.虽然它创作于19世纪初,文本内部却孕育着20世纪后现代小说特有的解构特征.作者欧文以超前于他的时代的艺术直觉,通过对小说桃花源式的乌托邦主题、哥特式风格以及叙述真实性等所进行的消解,留给我们一个"亦此亦彼,非此非彼"的文本世界.以此改编的电影《断头谷》：在18世纪的纽约市里有一位叫做Ichabod Crane （Johnny Depp饰）的治安警察，他提出了一个革命性的想法---用科学去帮助警察调查罪案。

由于他的方法对已经建立的警察体制形成很大的潜在威胁，所以他被派往了一个名叫“SLEEPY HOLLOW”（沉睡谷）的北部的偏僻小镇上去调查一宗连环谋杀案。

在小镇郊外阴森险恶的黑丛林里，发觉了几具被砍掉了头颅的尸体，当地许多人相信是被一个手持斧头、骑着一匹黑马、没有了头的午夜骑士式的幽灵的“杰作”，当地的居民都认为这个没头的骑士是一个邪恶的魔鬼。

Crane 虽然有些害怕，但有头脑和坚信科学的他却无法接受这一个谣传。

当他展开调查的同时，他也爱上了当地一名女子---Katrina Van Tassel（Christina Ricci饰），一个行动不便的年轻漂亮女子，为了能娶到她，为了证明他要比镇上其他人要优秀，他立定决心要掀开这个系列谋杀的真相。

但可能这个传说流传得太久，仿佛是件真事一样。

而且很快，他发觉他不用再去寻找这位传说中的无头骑士，因为这个骑士已经找上门来了……《睡谷的传说》中，欧文是这样给我们描述“睡谷”的：“离开这个村庄不远，大约两英里路光景，在高山之间，有一个小山谷，或者不如说，一块凹地，它算得上是全世界最安静的地方。

一条小溪穿谷而过，汩汩的水声刚好催人入梦，偶尔一声鹌鹑的轻啼，或者啄木鸟“得得”啄木的声音，几乎就是打破这万籁俱寂的气氛的惟一的声响了。

”这里“仿佛有一种昏沉沉、令人思睡的力量笼罩着整个山谷，甚至渗透了那儿的空气。

”在这样的自然氛围下，作者又加入了自己童年时代打松鼠的回忆和感受。

The_Legend_of_Sleepy_Hollow睡谷的传说

睡谷的传说华盛顿·欧文---录自狄德里希·尼克尔包克尔先生的遗稿这是一片可爱的土地，人人都爱打盹巫术的梦幻出现在半睁半闭的眼前那儿，华丽的宫殿穿过云层永远在夏日的天空盘旋--------<逍遥宫>(1) 注（1）：英国诗人詹姆斯·汤姆生（James Thomson）最著名的寓言体长诗。

锯齿形的哈得逊河东岸，有许多宽广的河湾。

其中有一处，河面异常辽阔，古代的荷兰航行家把它称作塔班湖，驶过这一带的时候，他们总是小心谨慎地把帆卷缩一下：祷告圣尼古拉斯（2），求他保佑。

在这一带有一个小市镇或者小商埠之类的地方，有些人把它称为格林斯伯格，不过它还有一个更闻名、更正确的名称，叫作逗留镇。

据说，这个名称，是往日住在附近乡下的那些好心的主妇给它起的，因为她们的丈夫都有个改不过来的脾气，每逢赶集的日子，总是逗留在村子里的酒店里，流连忘返。

这种说法只好随他去，究竟是不是事实我也不能证明，我不过提一提，说明我的话是有凭有据的。

离开这个村庄不远，大约两英里路光景，在高山之间，有一个小山谷，或者不如说，一块凹地，它算得上是全世界最安静的地方。

一条小溪穿谷而过，汩汩的水声刚好催人入梦。

偶尔一声鹌鹑的轻啼，或者啄木鸟的得得啄木的声音，几乎就是打破这万籁俱寂的唯一声响了。

注（2）：圣尼古拉斯，纪元三百年左右，小亚细亚的一个主教，是天主教中孩子、商人、航海者的守护神，也称作纽约的守护神。

我还记得，少年的时候，我第一次去打松鼠，就是在遮住山谷一面的那片高大的胡桃林子里。

我在正午的时候溜达进去，整个大自然特别宁静，当我听到了自己的枪声打破了四周一片寂静，响起了久久不停、震荡不已的愤怒的回声的时候，连我自己也吃了一惊。

要是有一天，我想退隐，逃避纷纭的俗世，在恬静的梦中度过烦恼的余生，我真不知道还有什么地方会比这个小小的山谷更使我满意的了。

因为这地方十分幽静，而且当地的居民，那些最初殖民到这儿来的荷兰人的后代，又有些古怪脾气，这个寂静的山谷，很久以来，一直被大家称作“睡谷”，连那儿的农家儿童，也给附近一带的人称作“睡谷的孩子”。

睡谷的传说英文读后感

睡谷的传说英文读后感The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: A Reading Reflection"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a classic American short story written by Washington Irving. The story is set in the small town of Sleepy Hollow, New York, and revolves around the mysterious and terrifying figure of the Headless Horseman. As I read through this timeless tale, I was captivated by the eerie atmosphere, the vivid descriptions, and the underlying themes of superstition and fear.One of the most striking aspects of the story is the way Irving creates a sense of place and atmosphere. From the very beginning, he paints a picture of Sleepy Hollow as a secluded and peaceful place, where time seems to stand still and the old Dutch traditions are still alive. The descriptions of the landscape, the old church, and the surrounding woods all contribute to the haunting and otherworldly feel of the setting. As a reader, I found myself drawn into this world, feeling the chill of theautumn air and the sense of unease that permeates the town.The character of Ichabod Crane, the protagonist of the story, is also a fascinating study in contrasts. On one hand, he is portrayed as a superstitious and somewhat cowardly schoolteacher, easily spooked by ghost stories and legends. On the other hand, he is ambitious and cunning, using his wits to court the wealthy Katrina Van Tassel. Irving's portrayal of Ichabod Crane as a flawed and complex character adds depth to the story, and makes his encounter with the Headless Horseman all the more compelling.Of course, the most iconic element of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is the Headless Horseman himself. The legend of the ghostly figure, said to be the spirit of a Hessian soldier who lost his head in battle, looms large over the story. Irving's descriptions of the Horseman's midnight rides through the countryside, wielding his pumpkin head as a weapon, are both terrifying and mesmerizing. The sense of dread and impending doom that the Horseman brings to Sleepy Hollow is palpable, and it is no wonder that the townspeople live in fear of encountering him.At its core, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a cautionary tale about the power of superstition and the human tendency to be swayed by fear. The character of Brom Bones, Ichabod's rival for Katrina's affections, embodies the skepticism and practicality that stand in contrast to Ichabod's credulous nature. The rivalry between the two men, and the ultimate disappearance of Ichabod after his encounter with the Horseman, serves as a reminder of the dangers of letting one's imagination run wild.As I reflect on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," I am struck by its enduring appeal and relevance. Despite being written over 200 years ago, the story still manages toevoke a sense of unease and fascination in readers today. The themes of fear, superstition, and the unknown are universal, and Irving's masterful storytelling ensures that the legend of Sleepy Hollow will continue to captivate audiences for generations to come.In conclusion, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a timeless and haunting tale that continues to resonate withreaders. Through its evocative setting, complex characters, and chilling supernatural elements, it weaves aspellbinding narrative that lingers in the imagination long after the final page is turned. As I close the book, I am left with a sense of awe and appreciation for Washington Irving's skill as a storyteller, and a newfound respect for the enduring power of a good ghost story.。

睡谷传说
The legend of the Sleepy Hollow
《睡谷传说》浅谈
《睡谷传说》主要讲述了来自康涅狄格州的一个名叫伊卡包德· 克兰的教师，在睡谷这个充满传说的神秘地方所发生的一系列故事。该作品是华盛顿· 欧文著名短篇小说之一，曾被誉为“最早的短篇小说”。
• 本是靠四处借宿的乡村教师伊卡包德喜欢上了家中殷实的农场主的女儿卡特琳娜。伊卡包德一方面是看中卡特琳娜的美貌，另一方面还看中了卡特琳娜的家产。因此伊卡包德千方百计的与卡特琳娜接触，就在眼看要与卡特琳娜永结芳心的时候，事情却发生了变数。原本显得很是关心他的卡特琳娜对他爱答不理，与此同时，卡特琳娜诸多追求者中的布鲁姆也在暗中同他较劲。
《睡谷传说》的影响
作为华盛顿· 欧文著名短篇小说之一，《睡谷传说》开辟了短篇小说的先河，并为欧文清新自然和充满浪漫气息的文风奠定了一定的基础。不得不说它是一篇了不起的佳作。

• 由于伊卡包德有着一个喜欢听信信民间传说并且对此笃信不移的心理，终于在一个晚会之后，他在回家的路上遇上了传说中的无头骑士，并被无头骑士追杀，从骑士
• 小说先是展开了对睡谷这一地方风景的描写，为之后无头骑士的传说的出现营造了良好的神秘氛围。全篇虽然篇幅短小，但小说的概要一应俱全，并且言语清新自然，很深动形象地描绘了小说中的人物个性特点，确实是一篇了不起的佳作。 • 而且小说的结局更为“传说”这一特色画上了浓墨重彩的一笔，文中并没有说清楚伊卡包德的结局究竟如何，只是说他从此以后便消失在了睡谷人们的眼中，有的人说他回到了他的家乡成了一名律师，有的则继续传着他遇到无头骑士的故事，只是这一点就为读者留下了很大的想象空间。

人物分析：
• a headless rider：代表一种“超自然的力量” • Ichabod Crane：小说讽刺的对象，他小心眼、迷信、缺乏创造力，给睡谷这个自给自足的小天地里带来不和谐的声音。伊卡包德· 克莱恩是外部世界的代表，他被驱逐后，睡谷又恢复了往日的平静，从这个层面上看，在抵抗外部渗透的斗争中，睡谷中的荷兰人赢得了胜利。 • Katrina：荷兰农夫的女儿卡特琳娜是睡谷中的女性代表，她的形象也不具有积极含义。她爱卖弄风情表面上和伊卡包德· 克莱恩谈恋爱，却将伊卡包德· 克莱恩玩弄于股掌间，只是为了把他的情敌降伏得牢牢的，正如叙述者所言，“这是一种诡计”。 • Brom Bones：他与伊卡包德· 克莱恩之争的实质是男性力量之争。他赢得了胜利，但是很快就会被卡特琳娜所束缚，捆住手脚。
The story ended and Ichabod began to went home alone He thought there was something white moving in the tree. and he heard a noise .

Some think that Ichabod represents imagination.
And Brom Bones represents reason. Irving believed
that by mixing them, double success could be achieved. In order to show the benefits of mixing these two, Irving lets Ichabod and Brom fight for a woman.

睡谷的传说

在《睡谷的传说》中，欧文通过环境描写和气氛烘托，成功地展现了一个偏僻山村幽静的生活情景，在这里发生了一个名叫伊卡包德· 克莱恩的美国穷教师者的口吻讲故事，伊卡包德· 克莱恩是小说讽刺的对象，他小心眼、迷信、缺乏创造力，给睡谷这个自给自足的小天地里带来不和谐的声音。他到这里是来教书的，对于小点儿的和大点儿的学生区别对待，体现了严厉的教学管理方式。声称是代替家长教育他们。到每个学生家里吃饭是当时的习惯，是因为他的收入很少，想从学生家占点便宜。他还是该地区的歌咏教师。年轻的农妇很看好他，觉得他比他们的丈夫有修养，举止文明，总是受到她们的热情款待，因此受到村里的男人的嫉妒，到学生家里吃饭时，为了讨得一些漂亮母亲的欢心，常为村民们帮忙打杂，他特别贪财，爱占小便宜，满脑子里想的都是如何才能赚更多的钱，聚敛更多的物质财富。他还很迷信、尤其相信鬼神之类的故事，他恐惧的原因是常常去听老夫人的古怪的故事特别是无头骑士的传说，他想听可还害怕，当夜晚来临时，他的恐惧达到了高潮。
The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow

《睡谷的传说》（The legend of the Sleepy Hollow）是美国作家华盛顿· 欧文(Washington Irving，1783—1859)创作的著名短篇小说，包含在他的著名散文集《见闻札记》(The Sketch Book)中。它与华盛顿· 欧文的另外两篇短篇小说《瑞普· 凡· 温克尔》、《鬼新郎》被称为“最早的现代短篇小说”。

教音乐时，伊卡包德·克莱恩爱上德高望重的荷兰农夫的女儿卡特琳娜。与其说伊卡包德爱上卡特琳娜，不如说是他看上了卡特琳娜将继承的财富。当他到卡特琳娜家做客时，吸引他目光的不是女主人的美貌，而是宽敞的屋子，漂亮的壁炉，墙上挂着的羊毛、玉米、干果以及桌子上热腾腾的美食。

睡谷传奇故事梗概

睡谷传奇-----华盛顿.欧文The Legend of Sleepy Hollow被成为“睡谷”的这条河谷在纽约州的高山之间，远离尘嚣。

一条清澈的小河穿过河谷，唯一能听到的，就是那些在山间寻找爱巢的迷路的鸟儿们的鸣叫声。

关于这条寂静的山谷，流传着许多故事，但是，人们最信以为真的，却是一个关于一个人夜间骑着一匹马四处游荡的传说。

故事中说，那个人许多年前死于美国独立战争中，他的头被炮弹炸掉了。

每天晚上，他就从墓地里爬出来，然后跳上自己的马，骑着它穿过河谷，四处寻找他掉了的那颗脑袋。

“睡谷”附近有一个村子，叫泰瑞镇。

许多年前，一批荷兰人定居在这里，建立了这个村子。

村里有一所不大的学校，而且只有一位叫艾克波德.克瑞恩的老师。

艾克波德.克瑞恩这个名字对他来说名副其实，因为在英语中，“克瑞恩”就是鹤的意思，而他本人看起来就象是一只鹤，人又高有瘦，肩膀却很小，连着长长的胳膊。

他的头也很小，顶上扁平，耳朵很大，长着一双呆滞无神的绿色眼睛，还有一个长鼻子。

卡纯娜.冯.泰索是艾克波德教的众多年轻姑娘中的一位。

她是一位富裕的荷兰农场主的独生女儿，风华正茂，活象一个圆圆的红苹果。

对于这个姑娘，艾克波德的心里涌动着一股愚蠢的柔情。

不久，他就发现自己对这位冯.泰索小姐感起兴趣来。

当艾克波德看到卡纯娜家农场的富有时，他被惊得瞪圆了眼睛----一眼望不到边的苹果树和麦地，成千上万肥壮的牲畜。

他仿佛看到自己成了冯.泰索农场的主人，而卡纯娜成了他的妻子。

但是要赢得卡纯娜的心却有很多问题在阻碍着他。

一个叫布鲁姆.冯.布朗特的强壮年轻人就是其中之一。

布鲁姆现在是所有的年轻姑娘心中的英雄，他膀大腰圆，头发短而卷曲。

他总是在泰瑞镇的赛马比赛中夺冠，获得了很多奖品。

布鲁姆总是骑着马，有时夜深的时候，他和他的那些朋友们会骑着马穿过村子，在马背上狂喊乱叫。

那些从睡梦中被惊醒的老女人们会厌烦地说：“哎呀，布鲁姆.冯.布朗特来了，和他的那帮狐朋狗友又来了！”这就是艾克波德为了赢得卡纯娜的心必须要打败的力量。
