Rip van winkle读后感

Book Report of Rip Van WinkleRip Van Winkle is a famous work of Washington Irving, an American writer in the 19th century, who hankered for rural life and ancient lifestyle. And he particularly paid attention to anecdotes and the customs of remote villages.The background of Rip Van Winkle is a small village of America in colonial period. The story is about the life and strange experience of the main character Rip Van Winkle. Rip was a simple good-natured man, a kind neighbor and an obedient hen-pecked husband. He was willing to help his neighbors without hesitation but he hated to do any work to make money. On the contrary, his wife was very bad-tempered and liked to yell at him. To avoid the scold of his wife he went to the woods with a gun and his dog. Then he met some strange men and he taste a kind of beverage, and then he fell into a deep sleep. When he awaked, it was twenty years later but he thought it was the second day. When he went to home, he found that everything changed, the life in his memory became history and the present time is unfamiliar to him.In this story, Irving successfully shaped two distinctive characters, Rip and wife and he used humorous languages which made this story more attractive to readers. There were a large number of popular folk orals and slangs in his work.There are three themes we can find in this article. First is the appreciation of the peaceful natural world. Irving wrote peaceful village, the leisurely life of Rip, the beautiful scenery and he described an easy life of Rip in the end. The second is the irony of the backward ideas in the old times. From the busy villagers, the greatly changed countryside, the indifferent dog, the new topic among people and the derision from strangers, Rip found that he gained no satisfaction from his twenty year’s escape and he even lost a lot. The third is that we should keep the old tradition and value as things are developing. In the story, an old man recognized Rip and Rip met his son, daughter and grandchildren, which both showed that radical changes are sometimes necessary to move society forward; lasting changes is an amalgam of the old and new,although things changed, the links with the past still remained.The story is full of conflicts. We can see the conflicts between past and present, old and new, leisure and work, innocence and experience, which form the first theme and the second theme.From this story, we can also learn something about Washington Irving. It is easy to find that he is a little bit conservative so he expressed his desire to the peaceful and natural lifestyle. And in his opinion, the society and the natural environment did not become more harmonious but more conflicting. He did notice that the world had gotten progress, but he felt that individual spirit did not get essential free development during this progress.。

这篇小说乡土风味浓郁,充满浪漫主义奇想,流露出作者本人的保守观点,也巧妙暗示了资产阶级革命的局限。

本文通过对《瑞普·凡·温克尔》片段的翻译,探讨功能对等理论在小说翻译中的运用。

关键词:《瑞普·凡·温克尔》翻译功能对等理论一、引言《瑞普·凡·温克尔》(Rip Van Winkle)是美国最早的短篇小说之一,其作者华盛顿·欧文(Washingtonlrving,1783~1859)在美国文学史上被誉为“美国文学之父”。

这篇小说以殖民地时期纽约哈得逊河畔一个山村为背景,描写了贫苦农民瑞普·凡·温克尔的奇特遭遇。

作者以轻快的笔触描绘了当时的自然景色和风俗民情,以及那种悠然自得、远离尘器的山村生活,以巧妙的手法讽刺了当时的资产阶级革命并没给贫苦农民带来什么变化的现实。

要把这样一篇文笔优美、描写细腻、语言生动、幽默夸张的小说译成中文,实非易事。

要将一个作家的风格翻译出来是相当困难的,需要运用适合于原作风格的文学语言,把原作的内容与形式精确地再现出来。

因此译者在对原小说进行翻译时,以功能对等理论为指导,为了达到“最贴近的最自然的对等”,不仅要考虑意义,特别是语用层次上的引申意义,还要注意文体风格,必要时还得进行意义和结构上的调整,只有这样才能在接受语中再现源语功能,使二者达到功能对等。

美国文学-瑞普_凡_温克尔夫人形象解析

美国文学-瑞普_凡_温克尔夫人形象解析

Analyze the character of Dame Van Winkle and discuss her function as a villain. Dose the story carry sexual prejudiceDame Van Winkle is described as a captious, man-eating woman who always scolds her husband in this story. But for me, Mrs. Winkle is a brave laborious woman As a villain, she makes Rip Van Winkle’s image of a “simple, good-natured man” more clear, and she is the carrier of the prejudice of women in that society. So in my opinion this story does carry sexual prejudice.Dame van winkle is a typical hellcat according to the description in the story. She always taxes with her husband volubly and acting very shrewish. Form the description of Rip as “a kind neighbor, and a husband who obeyed his wife” in the beginning if the story, we can see that in rip’s family, the person who role the roast is Dame Van Winkle and she controls her husband with her power. With this description, our first expression of Mrs. Winkle is that she is a domineering woman. When we read the sentence:”her tongue was endlessly going. Everything he said or did was sure to produce more angry talk.”we can get the image that Dame Van winkle is sharp-tongued and fractious. As the development of the plot, the author portrayed a picture that Mrs. Winkle break into the club to blame all the people about their worthlessness and idleness.After reading all these evidence above, it is easy for us to build up the expression that dame van winkle is a really virago in the small village. But if we read deeply into the story we can find that this kind of image is carrying a lot of prejudice. Mrs. Winkle is a special woman and she is brave and hardworking. The story tells us that rip is a kindand easy-going man, when his wife blames him, he never talk back. At the same time, the author also write that “Rip Van Winkle had one great fault; he disliked---indeed, he hated---any kind of profitable labour.” The condition of his farm is worse than any of his neighbors’but rip is still wondering in the woods or lazing away with the people in the club instead of doing farm work. It means that as a man who should work and earn money to support his family, rip is a total failure. Then we will ask who is working to take care of the family Of cause the answer is dame van winkle. Since the husband never takes his responsibility, the wife has to go out working like a man, do the entire house work and bring up the children. In the story when rip got back to his village, there is a sentence: “He entered the ruins of the house, which, to tell the truth, Dame Van Winkle had always kept in good order.” This means that Mrs. Winkle is a good housewife.Dame Van winkle is fractious and captious, but she has to be such a virago because her husband is a dawdler who never takes his responsibility. In the years that are described in the story, all the judgments about women are made by the men. A man who is always wondering and chatting with others can be forgiven and accepted by the public, but a woman who is brave to point out the worthlessness and idleness of men will be called a virago and the public will turn its back on her. From the story we can see that the people in Rip’s village are described as:” Whenever they discussed the Van Winkle family's quarrels, they always decided that Dame Van Winkle was wrong.” And there are a lot of fainéant in the village, especially in the inn and these people’s wives must have compliant, but these women just choose to keep silent and comply. Only Dame Van Winkle has the courage to speak out. She not only blames her own husband but also censures thepeople who always connive these pokes. To my way of thinking, dame van winkle is a brave woman who is not afraid of speaking out her compliant in the patriarchal society.As a villain, Mrs. Winkle’s negative image helps the author to make Rip as the victim of a terrible wife. At the beginning of the story the author described Rip as a nice, easy-going man and everyone in the village likes him except of his wife. He is scolded often by often but never dare to fight back. The worse Mrs. Winkle is described, the pitiful Rip is considered. By this way, the story successfully convinced the readers to believe that a good woman should be quiet and submissive; they should never challenge the domination of men. Mrs. Winkle is a good carrier of the negative opinion of a powerful and brave woman that was hold by men.This story dose carries the sexual prejudice of women. First, the name of Mrs. Winkle is ironical. The word “dame” is a title for noble women but Mrs. Winkle is just a countrywoman who has no connection with a noble woman. The author here is using this word to show his sarcasm of women. Second, the reason for us to take Mrs. Winkle as a virago is that the adjectives and sentences that used by the author to describe Dame Van Winkle are all negative. Such as “what dog is ever brave enough to stand firm against the terrors of a woman's tongue” and “Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going.”Thirdly, the author never tries to describe details about Mrs. Winkle or any other women in this story. We only know her name and her typical image is a virago. This shows the author’s attitude towards women: ignore and depreciate. The same attitude can be seen from the depiction of Mrs. Winkle’s death:” She broke a blood vessel in anger at a man who came selling things at our door." This cause of death for Dame Van Winkle is like a joke, while at the endRip gets a family and becomes the respectful old man in the village, his story is told once by once. With these evidences above we can see that the story carries sexual prejudice.As a conclusion, Dame Van Winkle is a brave, hardworking and respectful woman; she is described as a virago because the author wanted to show the readers the rule for women in the patriarchal society. So the story obviously has sexual prejudice.。

这个故事将个人和社会的变化相结合,探讨了时间的流逝、社会变革和人生哲学等主题。

首先,《Rip Van Winkle》探讨了时间的流逝和人的命运。

整个故事设立在18世纪的美国殖民地时期,这个时期代表了社会的稳定和人们生活的方式。

里普·范·温克尔是一个懒散无能的男性,对家庭和社会没有贡献,只知道度日如年地在异想天开中度过他的生活。

进入山洞后,里普醒来发现全球发生了巨大变化,美国已经独立,社会、经济和政治环境都发生了巨大的变化。

通过里普的沉眠与醒来,欧文展示了社会的历史发展和个人生活经历之间的关系。

这个主题使人们反思自己的生活如何被时间和社会推动,以及个人行为对历史进程的影响。

此外,这个故事还探讨了时代变革对个人身份的影响。

当里普醒来后,发现他曾经的朋友已经散落四方,他的妻子和儿子都已经去世。

除了社会上的变革,个人生活也发生了巨大的变化。

里普在山洞里长眠了二十年,错过了他家庭的发展和亲友的成长,他的家庭和社区关系已经丧失。

它使读者思考个人选择如何影响自己的生活和他人的命运,以及个人与社会如何相互作用。

另一个值得关注的主题是欧文对民主价值观的思考。

里普最初生活在英国殖民统治下的美国,当他醒来后,美国已经从英国独立并成为一个民主国家。

小说中描绘的村庄政治体系与旧时代的专制体制相比,人民对自己的命运有了更大的掌控权。

欧文通过描绘社会变革,表达了对民主理念的赞美。

通过这个主题,欧文希望读者思考自由、平等和个人自主权这些与民主价值观相关的问题。

The story Rip Van Winkle is about an idle, ambitionless, inagressive person named Rip Van Winkle. In order to avoid his wife non-stop nagging at home, he seeks refuge in the mountain where he meets several dwarfs and tastes the liquor . Overwhelmed by the magic of the liquor, he falls into a 20-year sleep. When he wakes up, everything has undergone a tremendous change. From the plot and the character of Rip Van Winkle we can see he escapes from his responsibilities and duties and the contradiction towards work.Rip Van Winkle, a good-natured man, is always ready to attend to anybody’s business . He has continuous trouble with Dame Van Winkle, who symbols the puritan thoughts, which consider idleness and laziness as evil thing. Rip Van Winkle has to search comfort by wandering with the dog “wolf”.He can’t really get comfort from philosophers in the village. The “despaired” Rip Van Winkle drinks and falls asleep. The drink is further escape from his woes. He is burdened once again with the thought of having his responsibilities.In the vivid setting picture described by Washington Irving, we can easily follow Rip Van Winkle’s exotic experience as well as it’s an interesting story in Washington’s humorous, easy, clear style. We can see America is an immature, childish, imaginative country from the character of Rip Van Winkle.。

欧文对其所处时代的社会发展的态度本质是矛盾的, 他并非没有认识到社会的进步,他只是直觉地感受到 作为个体的人的精神在这一过程中并没有得到本质的 自由发展。 在欧文看来,独立后的人与人生活的社会以及自然环 境并没有变得更加和谐,似乎变得更加矛盾。 从小说中,很容易读出欧文是个相对守旧的人,因而 小说所流露出来的情感更多的是欧文对自然和谐的生 活状态的向往。
Theme B 对瑞普所代表的旧时代的落后思想的讽刺

Rip gains no satisfaction from his twenty years’ escape, and he senses a loss of identity
Theme C 变化发展的同时也要保留旧的传统和价值

Although wrenching, radical changes are sometimes necessary to move society forward, such changes must not eradicate old ways and traditions entirely. Real, lasting change is an amalgam of the old and new. New builds on the foundations of the old. There must be continuity.

Though, change has come to the village, their remain links with the past; there is continuity. New generations come along that bring change, but old values and traditions–as well as family lines– remain alive and thriving.
