《英语短篇小说教程》练习参考答案Keys to Unit ThreeRichard Selzer: The Discus Thrower1) Questions for discussion(Suggested answers for reference)(1) What impression do you get of the patient from the description given in the story?(In spite of his serious illness, the man never moans or complains. He talks little and generally keeps the physical suffering to himself. He tries to maintain an image of a real man although he is in the grip of Death. He behaves in the manner of Hemingway’s “tough guy”–acting by the principal that “A man can be destroyed but can not be defeated.”)(2) In the short conversations, we hear the patient’s demand to know about exact time and his demand for shoes. Why is he still interested in time and what does he want shoes for since he can’t walk anymore?(His interest in exact time and his demand for shoes seem to suggest that, deep in his heart, the man refuses to accept the fate. It might be the result of fierce psychological conflict within the patient, with reality and rationality on one side, and wish and will on the other side. Some abnormal behaviors indicate the man’s unwillingness to reconcile with the fate in spite of his self-restrain.)(3) Read carefully the paragraph about plate-throwing. Why does the writer give such detailed description of it? What is your interpretation of this rather abnormal behavior?(From the detailed descriptions of his “discus” throwing, we seem to learn that the man is rather skillful at that, and that he might have had some training in the sport of throwing discus. Then why dose he throw plates? Is it because it brings back the memory of the best moment in his life when his physical power wins the glory and cheers? By this impulsive “reliving”or “restaging” of the explosive energy he once had, the man gains some satisfaction – he laughs after it – and proves that he is still alive. This action reveals the complicated inner world of a man who is forced to face death.)(4) Why does the writer choose “The Discus Thrower” as the title? Is it coincidence that the short story has the same title as the famous Greek sculpture Discobolus (Discus Thrower)?(In the Greek sculpture, we see the frozen moment of beauty: male vitality, energy and muscle power. It is a celebration of life and physical capability. This patient might once be a discus thrower, professional athlete or amateur, and now forms such a contrast to the sculptured image. This leaves a lot of room for reader’s own reflection on life and death.)2) Explanation and interpretation(Explain the implied meaning of the following sentences, and point out their significance in the context of the story.)(1) a. From the doorway of Room 542 the man in the bed seems deeply tanned. Blue eyes andclose-cropped white hair give him the appearance of vigor and good health.b. He lies solid and inert. In spite of everything, he remains impressive, as though he were asailor standing athwart a slanting deck.(The patient is fatally ill, but he looks, or keeps an image of a strong man. His life is threatened by disease, but the spirit of a strong man is still there. He does not collapse, but does what he can, though rather vainly, to struggle to maintain the dignity of a man.)(2) “Yes,” he says at last and without the least irony. “You can bring me a pair of shoes.”(see suggested answer to Question 2.)(3) It’s a blessing, she (the head nurse) says.(Though the head nurse is the one who has complained a lot about the patient’s unreasonable behaviors and upon his death she says “It’s a blessing,” it does not mean that she is cold blooded, and thus feels relieved of her troubles. She means that God has allowed him to go, so he no longer needs to suffer and to struggle in this world. It is thus a blessing from God.)(4) He is still there in his bed. His face is relaxed, grave, dignified.(He is dead, possibly dying with relaxed feeling as he has kept his final image of being a true man with dignity and can now sleep in peace.)《英语短篇小说教程》练习参考答案Keys to Unit FourSomerset Maugham: Mr. Know-All1) Opinions of Understanding:(1) Which of the following is a round character?A.

Mrs. Ramsay.(3) The narrator decided that he might have an unpleasant company even before seeing Mr. Kelada because _______.A. he had to share a cabin with the latterB. he had known the latter to be a loud and noisy personC. the latter had a foreign nameD. the latter had a bad reputation(4) From the story we can deduce that Mrs. Ramsay’s pearl necklace was probably ________.A. a worthless imitationB. an expensive purchase that she borrowed money to pay forC. a gift from her husbandD. a gift from a lover of hers that her husband knew nothing about(5) By the end of the short story, the narrator said, “At that moment I did not entirely dislike Mr. Kelada.” The words may suggest that _______.A. he actually enjoyed the company of Mr. KeladaB. he found that Mr. Kelada was entirely different from what he had expected him to beC. he liked Mr. Kelada just for a momentD. he had changed his earlier attitude towards Mr. Kelada2) Questions for Discussion:(Suggested answers for reference)(1)What are the undesirable qualities of Mr. Kelada according to the narrator? Find them out inthe text and list them. Are they good proof that Mr. Kelada is an unpleasant person?1）…my fellow passenger’s name was (not) Smith or Brown. (not Anglo-Saxon sounding) (line 9).2) When I went on board I found Mr. Kelada’s luggage ..and toilet things (showing bad taste) (lines 11-16)3) Mr. Kelada was short and of a sturdy build, cleanshaven and dark skinned, with a fleshy, hooked nose and very large lustrous and liquid eyes. His long black hair was sleek and curly. (His physical features indicate that he is not a white European.) (lines 32-34)4) He spoke with a fluency in which there was nothing English and his gestures were exuberant. (lines 34-35)5) Mr. Kelada was chatty. (line 57)6) Mr. Kelada was familiar. …(observing) no such formality. (lines 64-68)7) “The three on the four,” said Mr. Kelada (participating in other person’s card game, being rather nosy) (lines 71-81)8) I not only shared a cabin with him and ate three meals a day at the same table, but I could not walk round the deck without his joining me. (caring little about other people’s privacy) (lines 85-86)9) He was a good mixer, and in three days knew everyone on board. He ran everything. (line 90-91)10) He was certainly the best hated man in the ship. We called him Mr. Know-All. (line 94)11) He was … argumentative. He knew everything better than anybody else. (lines 96-97)But the above list only proves that Mr. Kelada was a person of different culture and behaved differently. Nurtured by his more Oriental culture, he behaved in a way that was nothing wrong in itself, but was disliked by the narrator of the story, who held a prejudice against non-Western culture.(2) Underline the descriptions of Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay, and discuss the contrast between the couple.Mr. Ramsay:1) He was as dogmatic as Mr. Kelada and resented bitterly the Levantine’s cocksureness. (lines 103-104)2) He was a great heavy fellow from the Middle West, with loose fat under a tight skin, and he bulged out of his ready-made clothes. (lines 106-108)3) He was argumentative (lines 122-124) and insensitive (lines 155-170)Mrs. Ramsay:1) Mrs. Ramsay was a very pretty little thing, with pleasant manners and a sense of humor. (lines 110-111)2) She was dressed always very simply; but she knew how to wear her clothes. She achieved an effect of quiet distinction. (lines 111-113)3) You could not look at her without being struck by her modesty. It shone in her like a flower on a coat. (lines 115-116)(The husband and the wife are very different almost in every way. One is loud, fatty,aggressive and the other is quite, pretty and modest. The contrast gives the reader an impression that the man is unworthy of the lady and may indicate at possible lack of harmony in the marriage.)(3) We have been given enough hints about the true value of the necklace and the possible story behind it. Can you find them?1) “They’ll never be able to get a cultured pearl that an expert like me can’t tell with half an eye.” He pointed to a chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.” (lines 134-137)2) Mrs. Ramsay in her modest way flushed a little and slipped the chain inside her dress. (line 136)3) “Oh, in the trade somewhere round fifteen thousand dollars. But if it was bought on Fifth Avenue, I shouldn’t be surprised to hear that anything up to thirty thousand was paid for it.” (lines 145-147)4) “Oh, Elmer, you can’t bet on a certainty,” said Mrs. Ramsay. (line 155)5) “But how can it be proved?” she continued. “It’s only my word against Mr. Kelada’s.”(line 159-160)6) Mrs. Ramsay hesitated a moment. She put her hands to the clasp. (line 164)7) “I can’t undo it,” she said. “Mr. Kelada will just have to take my word for it.” (line 165)8) The Levantine took a magnifying glass from his pocket and closely examined it. A smile of triumph spread over his smooth and swarthy face. (lines 170-172)9) … Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was so white that she looked as though she were about to faint. She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal. (lines 173-175)(4) Why did Mr. Kelada choose not to tell the truth of the value of the pearl necklace?(Obviously he wanted to help the helpless lady by not revealing the true value of the necklace. Otherwise she would have to face an awful and embarrassing explanation. He might have regarded Mr. Ramsay as being unworthy for the lady and acted out of disdain.)(5) Why did the narrator say by the end of the story “I did not entirely dislike Mr. Kelada”?(He seemed to be aware of his own prejudice after he had seen the positive quality of the Levantine: wisdom, self-sacrifice, and sensitiveness to other’s misfortunes.)3) Explanation and Interpretation:(Explain the implied meaning of the following sentences, and point out their significance in the context of the story.)(1) I was prepared to dislike Max Kelada even before I knew him.(This indicates that the narrator, the English gentleman, had a deep-rooted racial and cultural bias against non-English. It is not the person, but what his name represents that he disliked.)(2) But when I was told the name of my companion my heart sank…. I should have looked upon it with less dismay if my fellow passenger’s name had been Smith or Brown.(“Smith”and “Brown”are typical English surnames. The name “Max Kelada”indicates a man from a different, most likely “inferior” culture in the opinion of the narrator.)(3) The Consular Service is ill paid, and she was dressed always very simply.(This foreshadows the fact that the pearl necklace was far too expensive for her purse.)(4) Mrs. Ramsay in her modest way flushed a little and slipped the chain inside her dress.(She quickly hid the chain inside, an act that reveals her fear of its true value being noticed by somebody.)(5) “If I had a pretty little wife I shouldn’t let her spend a year in New York while I stayed at Kobe,” said he.(Mr. Kelada hinted that the husband’s leaving her alone in New York was unwise and had led to some consequences. She had now a wealthy suitor. )4) Suggested Homework:Let us suppose that in the afternoon on the same day when Mr. Kelada got back the 100 dollars, he met Mrs. Ramsay somewhere on the deck, and there were no other people around. They had a short conversation about what had happened previously. Using your imagination, write out the short dialogue between the two. The conversation may begin like this:(-- Good morning, Mrs. Ramsay. It’s a surprise to see you alone here.-- Good morning, Mr. Kelada. I don’t feel well, so I come out for a bit of fresh air.-- It’s always a pleasure to see a charming lady like you.-- Thank you for saying so. I’m extremely sorry for what happened yesterday, and I’m grateful for what you did, for me.)-- Lying about the necklace?-- Lying for my sake. You are generous and have a good heart.-- Anyway, I got the 100 dollars back. You delivered it yourself?-- Yes, I did. You did me a great service, and there is no way that you should be paying that money.-- I have been the laughingstock of everybody on board.-- You have my respect. I was real terrified yesterday, and fortunately you came to the rescue.-- It is a wonderful gift, that necklace, from a true admirer, I guess?-- You embarrass me, Mr. Kelada, but you seem to notice everything.-- It’s a good match to a pretty lady like you.-- Don’t laugh at me, I beg. I don’t think I’ll be wearing it anymore. Thank you again, and I think I’ll be going back to the cabin.。

(line 5)Bill: At first he did not recognize her… (line 8)2) Mary: Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss… (line 11)Bill: …but he held out his hand. (line 12)3) Mary: “I live in New York now,” she said. (eagerly telling him her address) (line 14)Bill: “Oh” – smiling politely, then a little frown came quickly between his eyes.

(line 43)Mary: “When …” she wanted to say… (not ready to part with Bill) (line 44)(2) Several times the author describes the scene on Washington Square: the dusk, the chilly weather, the falling leaves, the passing people. Does he only want to tell us where and when the story takes place? What other effects do such descriptions achieve?(The description of the setting gives the reader a feeling of sadness and depression. It was getting dark and getting cold with leaves falling. The bright daytime was over and the unpleasant darkness was ahead, and the warm and comfortable summer and early autumn days were being replaced by the cold and long winter. The setting echoes and reinforces Mary’s feelings of regret and yearning and implies the emotional crisis that she might have to face.)3) Explanation and Interpretation:(Explain the implied meaning of the following sentences, and point out their significance in the context of the story.)1) Impulsively, she had married a man she thought she loved.(Notice the two key words: “impulsively”and “thought.”This has direct relation to her reactions at Washington Square, New York, years later. She made an impulsive decision and the man she “thought” she loved was not the man she wanted to be a life partner with.)2) Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand.(Her unconscious reaction reveals that their sweet love in the past had been kept alive in Mary’s memory for all these years, but Bill had undergone a total change, treating her as an ordinary acquaintance of the past.)3) “And your husband?” he asked her.“We have three children. I work in the bursar’s office at Columbia.”(This is the first time Bill initiated the conversation, but he had failed to notice the signs in Mary’s emotional reaction and asked a question he should have not asked. Mary avoided the question by talking about something else. Why did she avoid mentioning her husband? There is message in the avoidance.)4) The lights on the avenue blurred, twinkled, blurred.(The vision came from Mary’s eyes. Obviously, her eyes were now filled with tears.)5) The bus started. People came between them outside, people crossing the street, people theydidn’t know. Space and people.(A lot of people had walked into their lives, Mary and Bill’s family members and their respective circle of friends and colleagues. It was no longer their world of two young lovers when they were in Ohio.)4) Suggested Homework:Suppose you were Bill Walker and you had a habit of writing down what happened to you in your diary. After the chance meeting with Mary at Washington Square, you went home and wrote a brief paragraph about the meeting. The paragraph may begin like this:Oct. 11, 2009I had never expected to see Mary, but I met her at Washington Square. She looked rather old to me – I didn’t even recognize her immediately…For reference only:Oct. 11, 2009(I had never expected to see Mary, but I met her at Washington Square. She looked rather old to me – I didn’t even recognize her immediately. It was quite a surprise that she could pick me out among the hustling and bustling crowd in the street. After all, it has been quite a few years since we parted -- Eight, nine, or ten years? Time flies and we both changed a lot, no longer the heady, impulsive kind of youngsters that we once were. For some reason, she seemed rather emotional about this chance meeting, and was keen in knowing about what had happened to me in these years and in telling and inviting me to her place. Somehow, she avoided mentioning her husband, the man she quickly married after we ran into a little problem in our relationship. Ten years is a long time, enough to reshape a person’s life. I wish her and her family all the happiness, sincerely.)Keys to Unit Two(1) I. B. Singer: The Washwoman(2) Frank Sargeson: A Piece of Yellow Soap1) Questions for Discussion:(Suggested answers for reference)(1) Does the piece of washing soap have the “power” as the narrator tells us? What is the “power”that forces him to take off?(The piece of yellow washing soap is, of course, an ordinary one. The narrator is a “naïve narrator”who believed that it had some sort of mysterious “power,”while the readers are expected to know better. This power comes from the narrator’s deep sympathy for the tragic fate of the washing woman. Seeing the situation, he simply could not continue to demand the payment which he knew the woman was unable to produce.)(2) In this Unit, we have two stories about two washwomen. There are a lot of similar descriptionsand common characteristics in the two stories. Find and list them.(They were both reduce to desperation, depending solely on washing for living. Both were hard-working and uncomplaining, quietly but almost heroically bore their burden and struggled for a hard existence. The author describes their common feature –the white and shrunken fingers – as symbol of suffering in the lives of the working people. They both were both dead by the end of the stories.)(3) The two first-person narrators tell two stories of two washwomen who shared similar tragicfate. Discuss the differences in the narrators that result in the differences in the way the two short stories are told.(Singer’s narrator knows more and tells more about the washing woman, often making direct comments and revealing his own feelings about the life of the woman whose story he is telling. He frequently emphasizes that what he is telling is real, and hints that the story has significance. The narrator’s voice is very close to the author’s. Please see more in “Reading Tips” on page 11. On the other hand, Sargeson’s narrator is a naïve one, that is, the narrator’s understanding is purposely made shallow, and the reader need find by himself the real meaning in the situation. So the narrator stands at some distance from the author. Please see more in “Reading Tips”on page 15. Therefore, in Text I, we, as readers, are basically “given” or “received” the story, while in Text II, we need to participate imaginatively in the story to “dig out” the true meaning the naïve narrator has left unexplained.)2) Explanation and Interpretation:(Explain the implied meaning of the following sentences, and point out their significancein the context of the story.)From “The Washwoman”:(1) She had been so sick that someone called a doctor, and the doctor had sent for a priest.(According to the custom, a priest should be present while one is dying. The implied message is the doctor thought that he could do nothing to save her, and the best thing to do was to prepare for her death.)(2) “With the help of God you will live to be a hundred and twenty,” said my mother, as ablessing.“God forbid!...”(“My Mother” extended a good wish for long life to her, but the washing woman thought that a long life was a terrible thing, because it only meant suffering longer.)(3) Her soul passed into those spheres where all holy souls meet, regardless of the roles theyplayed on this earth, in whatever tongue, of whatever religion.(A good person, like the old washwoman, would go to heaven because she had a noble soul.She would rise above all the earthly considerations of class, race, nation and religion. )From “A Piece of Yellow Soap”:(4) My eyes would get fixed on her fingers and the soap, and after a few minutes I would lose allpower to look the woman in the face. I would mumble something to myself and take myself off .(The narrator could not bear to look at this washing-tub slave for too long. He would have to find some excuse and leave. He could not push her over the cliff while she was standing on the verge of total desperation.)(5) She had a way too of feeling inside her handbag as she passed me, and I always had the queerfeeling that she carried there a piece of soap. It was her talisman powerful to work wonders…(Possibly in the bag there were a few pennies that the woman had earned from her washing, and she was going to buy food or some necessities. Seeing the narrator, to whom she knew she owed money, she unconsciously or protectively put her hand in the bag. The narrator, being “naïve,” misunderstood her reaction while they met in the street.)Suggested Homework:Translate the following paragraphs from “The Washwoman” into Chinese:The bag was big, bigger than usual. When the woman placed it on her shoulders, it covered her completely. At first she stayed, as though she were about to fall under the load. But an inner stubbornness seemed to call out; no, you may not fall. A donkey may permit himself to fall under his burden, but not a human being, the best of creation.She disappeared, and mother sighed and prayed for her.More than two months passed. The frost had gone, and then a new frost had come, a new wave of cold. One evening, while mother was sitting near the oil lamp mending a shirt, the door opened and a small puff of steam, followed by a gigantic bag, entered the room. I ran toward the old woman and helped her unload her bag. She was even thinner now, more bent. Her head shook from side to side as though she were saying no. She could not utter a clear word, but mumbled something with her sunken mouth and pale lips.For reference only:衣服包很大，比平时更大。

Unit 5参考译文我是怎样识字的1 在我记忆中, 我一生最重要的日子是我的老师安妮·曼斯菲尔德·沙利文走进我生活的那一天。
至今，每当我想起这一天仍会惊叹不已，是这一天把我过的截然不同的两种生活连在一起。
那是1887 年 3 月 3 日，离我七岁生日还有三个月。
2 在那个重要日子的午后，我呆呆地站在我家的门廊上，内心充满了期盼。
从我母亲给我的手势和屋子里众人来来往往的忙碌中我隐约猜到将有不同寻常的事发生，于是我来到门口，在台阶上等着。
午后的阳光透过布满门廊的忍冬花簇照射到我仰起的脸庞上。
我的手指近乎下意识地抚弄着这些熟悉的叶片和花朵。
它们刚刚抽叶开花，迎来南方温馨的春天。
至于我的未来究竟会出现什么样的奇迹，我茫然不知。
几个星期来，愤怒和怨恨一直折磨着我。
这种激烈的感情争斗之后则是一种极度的疲惫。
3 你可曾在航海时遇上过浓雾？那时，你仿佛被困在了触手可及的一片白茫茫中，不见天日。
你乘坐的巨轮，靠测深锤或测深线的指引，举步维艰地靠向海岸，既紧张又焦急不安；而你则心里怦怦直跳，等着什么事情发生。
我在接受教育之前正像那艘巨轮，所不同的是我连指南针或测深线都没有，更无从知晓离港湾还有多远。
我的心灵在无声地疾呼：“光明！给我光明吧! ”而就在那个时刻，爱的光芒洒在了我的身上。
4 我感觉到有脚步由远及近。
于是我伸出了手，以为会是母亲。
有人抓住了我的手，把我抱住并紧紧地搂在了怀里。
正是这个人的到来，把整个世界展示给我，最重要的是，给我带来了爱。
5 在老师来到我家的第二天上午，她把我带到她的房间，给了我一个玩具娃娃。
这个娃娃是珀金斯学校的小盲童们送给我的礼物，劳拉·布里奇曼给娃娃穿上了衣服，不过这些是我在后来才知道的。
我玩了一小会儿之后，沙利文小姐慢慢地在我的手上拼出了“d-o-l-l ”（玩具娃娃）这个词。
我一下子便对这种手指游戏产生了兴趣，而试着模仿它。
当我终于正确地拼出了这几个字母时，内心充满了孩子气的喜悦和自豪。
我跑到楼下找到母亲，伸手拼出了“娃娃”所含的字母。
当时我并不知道我是在拼一个单词，甚至还不知道有“单词”这么回事；我只是像猴子那样用手指进行模仿。
在接下来的几天里，我就这样，虽然并不知词识义，却学会了拼写好些单词。
这些词中有“别针”、“帽子”、“杯子”，还有些动词，如“坐”、“站”和“走”。
但是等我懂得每样东西都有名字时，已经是我和老师在一起好几个星期之后的事了。
6 一天，我正在玩我的新娃娃，这时，沙利文小姐把我的大布娃娃放在我的膝上，又给我拼了一遍“d-o-l-l ”，想让我懂得“d-o-l-l ”这个单词适用于这两件东西。
就在当天早些时候，我曾和她因“m-u-g ”和“w-a-t-e-r ”这两个词发生过争执。
沙利文小姐想让我记住“m-u-g ”是“大杯”，而“w-a-t-e-r ”是“水”，但我却总是把这两个词的意思弄混。
失望之余她暂时搁起这一话题，但一有机会她就马上旧事重提。
我却对她一遍又一遍的努力感到忍无可忍，于是就抓起新的玩具娃娃，狠狠地砸在地板上。
当我感觉到脚边摔碎的娃娃时，产生了一种强烈的快感。
在这种强烈的情感发泄之后，我没有一丝伤感或懊悔之情。
我从没有喜欢过那个娃娃。
在我生活的那个无声、黑暗的世界里是没有强烈的情感和柔情的。
我感觉到老师已把碎片扫到了壁炉炉床的一边，此时我有一种满足感，因为让我不快的东西已不复存在了。
她给我拿来了草帽，我知道我将要走出屋子，到温暖的阳光下。
这个想法（如果一种无法用言语表达的感觉也可以称为想法的话），使我高兴得又蹦又跳。
7 我们沿着小路来到了井房，井房上布满了忍冬，它的芳香深深地吸引了我们。
有人正在抽水。
老师把我的一只手放到了喷水口下方。
凉爽的水流过我的一只手，这时她在我的另一只手上拼写了“水”这个词。
开始她拼得很慢，接着拼得很快。
我站在那儿一动不动，所有的注意力都集中到她手指的移动上。
刹那间，我朦胧地意识到了些什么，仿佛记起了被久久遗忘的什么东西——那是一种恢复思维的激动。
不知怎的，语言的奥秘一下子展现在我的面前。
此刻我明白了。
“w-a-t-e-r ”指的就是从我手上流过的那美妙无比的凉爽的东西。
这活生生的字眼唤醒了我沉眠的灵魂，赋予了它光明、希望和喜悦，使它获得了自由！诚然，障碍依然存在，但那是一些假以时日终究会被消除的障碍。
8 我离开井房，心中充满了求知的欲望。
万物皆有名，而每个名字又引申出一种新的概念。
在我们回家的路上，我感到我触摸到的每件东西似乎都赋有生机。
那是因为我在用刚刚赋予我的新奇的眼光看待每样东西。
进门时我记起了那个被我摔破的娃娃。
我摸索着来到了炉床边，捡起那些碎片，试着把它们拼接在一起，但却徒劳无益。
这时我的眼里满是泪水；因为我意识到了自己先前干了些什么，而且有生以来第一次感到了悔恨和难过。
9 那天我学会了很多新词。
现在我已记不清都是些什么词了，但我还记得其中有“妈妈、爸爸、姐妹、老师”。
这些词使得整个世界在我面前绽放。
就像有了“亚伦的神杖，开满了鲜花”，在这个重要的日子快要结束时，已很难找到一个比我更加幸福的孩子。
我躺在自己的小床上，回味着这一天所给予我的欣喜，渴望着新的一天的到来，这是我有生以来从未有过的期盼。
