1．Then one day Pa said that spring was coming.
2．In the Big Woods the snow was beginning to thaw. Bits of it dropped from the branches of the trees and made little holes in the softening snowbanks below. At noon all the big icicles along the eaves of the little housequivered and sparkled in the sunshine, and drops of water hung trembling at their tips.
26．Ma was trembling, and she began to laugh a little. "To think," she said, "I've slapped a bear!"
27．Then she put supper on the table for Laura and Mary. Pa had not come yet. He didn't come. Laura and Mary were undressed, and they said their prayers and snuggled into the trundle bed.

Even the weather seemed to be celebrating; as June approached, the days became cl oudl ess and sultry, and all anybody felt like doing was strolling into the grounds and fl opping d own on the grass with several pints of iced pumpkin juice, perhaps playing a casual game of Gobstones or watching the giant squid propel itself dreamily across the surface of the lake.终于夺得了魁地奇杯，哈利的兴奋劲至少维持了一个星期。
连天气都像是在庆祝。
临近六月，白天变得晴朗无云，热烘烘的，让人只想带上几品脱冰镇南瓜汁溜达到场地上去，一屁股坐下来，也许可以随意玩上几局高布石，或者看着巨乌贼在湖面上梦幻般地游动。

The exams were nearly upon them, and instead of lazing around outsid e, the stud ents were forced to remain insid e the castle, trying to bully their brains into concentrating whil e enticing wafts of summer air drifted in through the wind ows. Even Fred and George Weasl ey had been spotted working; they were about to take their O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Levels). Percy was getting ready to sit his N.E.W.Ts (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests), the highest qualification Hogwarts offered. As Percy hoped to enter the Ministry of Magic, he need ed top grad es. He was becoming increasingly edgy, and gave very severe punishments to anybody who disturbed the quiet of the common room in the evenings.

异化的图谱：伊恩·麦克尤恩短篇小说中的反现代性批判
106异化的图谱：伊恩•麦克尤恩短篇小说中的反现代性批判文/刘林怡摘要：伊恩•麦克尤恩是英国当代文坛最令人瞩目的作家之一。
短篇小说中的人物是典型现代社会的产物，社会发展所带来欲望与现实因素的种种碰撞与对立构成了现代人性与生态环境异化的图谱，在文本中得到了淋漓尽致的体现。
究其根源，现代化的城市文明是人性的扭曲和生态的破坏的始作俑者，小说细腻笔法的描摹实际上也凝聚着麦克尤恩对现代社会的思考和反现代性的批判。
关键词：《最初的爱情，最后的仪式》；《床笫之间》；异化；反现代性批判《最初的爱情，最后的仪式》、《床笫之间》作为麦克尤恩的早期作品，这些短篇小说涉及变态、虐恋、谋杀、乱伦、性爱等主题以及场景描写，暴露人性中的隐秘、极端的阴暗面，读之惊世骇俗又毛骨悚然，这些特点形成了被称为“恐怖伊恩”的写作风格。
究其根源，现代化的城市文明是人性的扭曲和生态的破坏的始作俑者，小说细腻笔法的描摹实际上也凝聚着麦克尤恩对现代社会的思考和反现代性的批判。
一、对人性异化的反现代性批判麦克尤恩尝试以荒诞的情节设置探索在人物光鲜亮丽的外表与真实渴望的拉锯中对人性的撕裂，揭露现代人华丽面具下的丑陋行径。
《临死前的高潮》中麦克尤恩将叙述视角转移到社会的上层人物，赋予叙述者以显赫身份，从而使得外在的名望与因人性异化而发展出的变态癖好构成对立。
主人公沉迷于生意而不愿被感情羁绊，“我无意跟那些交媾完了还冲动地说来说去的女人相处”[1]，爱上海伦是将性欲对象物品化的荒诞行为，之后的一系列将其在脑海中活化为人并随着自身在生意场的得意和失意虚构出一场出轨和谋杀的真实闹剧，充满了黑色幽默的种种荒诞。
纵观小说集中的两性关系，鲜有和谐的两性之爱，其根源与男权社会中女性话语权的缺失、地位的低下有关。
二、对人际关系异化的反现代性批判《与橱中人的对话》 的“橱中人”成长的环境父爱缺失，童年和青少年在母亲的婴儿式教育中成长，“她不让我自己动手做任何事情，甚至不让我整的干净点。

Unit6 A Valentine Story爱情故事1.John Blanchard stood up from the bench，straightened his Army uniform，and studied the crowdof people making their way through Grand Central Station.约翰·布兰查德从长凳上站起身来，整了整军装，留意着格兰德中央车站进出的人群.2.He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. Hisinterest in her had begun twelve months before in a Florida library。
Taking a book off the shelf he soon found himself absorbed, not by the words of the book, but by the notes penciled in the margin。
The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind。
他在寻找一位姑娘,一位佩带玫瑰的姑娘.他知其心，但不知其貌。
十二个月前，在佛罗里达州的一个图书馆，他对她产生了兴趣。
他从书架上取下一本书，很快便被吸引住了，不是被书的内容，而是被铅笔写的眉批.柔和的笔迹显示出其人多思善虑的心灵和富有洞察力的头脑.3.In the front of the book，he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. Withtime and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond。
