THE NECKLACE项链Mathilde Loisel was one of those poor girls，pretty，charming and romantic，who，in spite of their romantic dreams，are married to a mediocrity．Her husband was a clerk in the Ministry of Education．One evening her husband came home with an air of triumph．“I have something nice for you，”he said，giving her a large envelope．She tore open the envelope，which contained the following printed card：“The Minister of Educa tion and Madame Georges Ramponneau have the honour to request the company of Monsieur and Madame Loisel at the office of the Ministry on Monday evening，January 18th．”She did not seem delighted．On the contrary，she flung the invitation card on the table，and said spitefully：“What's that to me？”“Why，my dear，I thought you'd be pleased．You like a dance，don't you？You hardly ever go out，and this is really a good chance for you．I had no end of trouble to get it．Every one wants it，you know．All the officials will be there，but only a few clerks are invited．”She looked at him ruefully and exclaimed：“What do you expect me to wear at a party like that？”It never occurred to him that she had no pretty dresses nor jewels．He replied hesitatingly：“Wh y，the dress you wear when you go to the theatre looks very nice to me．”She burst into tears．Why did she marry such a dull，stupid fellow？Only because she was born into a poor family．Oh，cruel trick of destiny！“What's the matter？”he asked anxiously．“Nothing，”she answered with an effort．“It's only that I haven't a suitable dress，and so I can't go to the ball．Give this card to a friend of yours whose wife has a better wardrobe than I．”It was a heart-breaking confession．“Come，Mathilde，my dearest，”the distressed husband said，“how much do you think it would cost to have a proper dress，something rather simple which would be useful for other occasions after- wards？”She thought for a moment，busy with her calculations．How much could she ask without shocking the thrifty husband and provoking a flat refusal？“I'm not sure，but I think I could manage with four hundred francs．”The husband turned a little pale．She had named the exact sum he had saved to buy a gun to enjoy shooting on the plain of Nanterre next summer with a few friends．But he replied：“All right．You shall have four hundred francs．Mind you get a really nice dress．”* * *The day of the ball drew near．Although Madame Loisel had got her coveted dress，she seemed far from pleased．“What is the matter？”her husband asked．“You look out of sorts these days．”“It's quite annoying to think that I haven't a single piece of jewellery to wear．I might as well stay at home as cut a miserable figure at the party，”she answered．“How about wearing natural flowers，then？”her husband suggested．“They are now quite in fashion．For ten francs you can get two or three splendid roses．”“Where did you get such a silly idea？”she replied．“Can't you see how miserable I'd look among rich women？”“Well then，”her husband said．“Why don't you go and ask your friend，Madame Forestier，to lend you some jewels？She is a good friend of yours，and has a lot of jewellery，hasn't she？”“Yes，of course，”she exclaimed in delight．“Why didn't I think of it？”The next day she called on Madame Forestier and explained her trouble．Madame Forestier went to her wardrobe，took out a large jewel case，and placed it open in front of her friend．“Take what you want，my dear，”she said．Madame Loisel first saw some bracelets，then a pearl necklace，then a Venetian gold cross set with jewels，an exquisite piece of magnificent workmanship．She tried them on，one after another，before the mirror，uncertain which to choose．“Have you any more？”she asked．“Oh，yes，look for yourself．I don't know what you would like best．”Suddenly Madame Loisel discovered a black satin case，in which lay a superb diamond neck-lace．Her heart beat fast．With trembling hands，she took it out，fastened it round her neck，and stood gazing at herself in the mirror，lost in admiration．She asked fearfully：“Would you lend me this？I don't think I need anything else．”“Why，yes，certainly．”Madame Loisel threw her arms round her friend's neck，kissed her，and hurried out，lest her friend should change her mind．The night of the ball came at last．Madame Loisel was a brilliant success．She looked more beautiful than any other woman present．Triumphantly，full of grace and joy，she danced admirably，aware of the rapt eyes of the company．All the men inquired her name，wanted to be introduced，asked her for waltzes．She attracted the attention of even the minister him- self．She felt as if she were in a beautiful dream，intoxicated with happiness．Oh，how long she had been yearning for such a moment！It was about four in the morning before she could tear herself away from the ball．Her husband had been dozing since midnight in a little deserted drawing room with three other gentlemen whose wives were enjoying the dance．He threw round her shoulders her cloak for everyday wear，which looked strangely incongruous with her elegant ball dress，and anxious to escape the eyes of the other women in rich furs，she hurried down the staircase．No cab was to be seen in the street，and，shivering with cold，they trudged on towards the Seine．At last，on the quay，they found an old，rickety cab rarely seen in Paris in the daytime．On reaching their dwelling，they climbed the stairs to their flat in gloomy silence．She took off her garment before the mirror．She wanted to enjoy one more glance at herself，decked in all her glory．Suddenly she cried out in horror．“What is the matter？”her husband asked．He was already half undressed；he had to be at the office by ten the next day．She turned to him，like one mad．“The d iamond necklace is gone！”“What？How？Impossible！”They searched the folds of her skirt and cloak，her pockets，everywhere；but the necklace was nowhere to be seen．“You had it on when you left the ball？”“Yes，I remember fingering it in the vestibule．”“If you had dropped it in the street，we should have heard the sound．You must have lost it in the cab．”“Probably，did you notice the number？”“No，I didn't．”They gazed at each other in consternation．“I'll go back all over the road and t ry to find it．”He hurried out．She flung herself down in a chair，and remained there blankly，the very picture of despair．About seven o'clock he re- turned，empty-handed．Then he reported to the police and made inquiries among the cab companies，but all in vain．Madame Forestier's di- amond necklace seemed to have vanished into thin air“Write to your friend，”the husband said，“that you have injured the clasp of her necklace and that you are having it mended．We must have time to think over the matter．”* * *A week had passed without bringing them any spark of hope．Loisel，who now looked five years older，said，“We'll have to replace the necklace．”The next day they took the empty case to the jeweller's whose name they found inside the lid．He consulted his books．“We did not sell the necklace．We only supplied the case．”They went from jeweller to jeweller，searching for a necklace like the one they had lost．At last，in a shop at the Palais Royal they found a diamond necklace exactly like Madame Forestier's．The price was forty thousand francs．The jeweller agreed to sell it for thirty-six．They begged him not to sell it for three days，and they got him to promise that he would buy it back for thirty-four thousand francs，in case they should find the lost necklace by the end of February．He rushed for a loan to everybody，asking a thousand francs from one man，five hundred from another，five louis here，three louis there．He blindly signed promissory notes，agreed to unreasonable terms，even called on professional money- lenders．At last he obtained the thirty-six thousand francs，but at the risk of his whole future．How could he hope to return so much money？And when？Crushing despair gnawed at his heart．* * *Madame Forestier received the necklace with an air of displeasure．“You should have returned it sooner．I might need it at any moment．”Madame Loisel feared lest her friend should examine the necklace and notice the difference．However，Madame Forestier carelessly put the case away without looking at the contents…* * *Then came to the couple days，weeks and years of drudgery．They heroically resolved to pay the appalling debt by working hard．They quitted the flat and moved into a garret．They bought nothing except daily necessaries，which they tried to do without often enough．She learned to bargain with tradesmen，ready to quarrel for every son．Her daydreaming was replaced by a constant endeavour to pay her way．Each month some of the promissory notes had to be renewed，only to gain time．The husband worked after office hours，keeping accounts for a tradesman，and late at night copying manuscripts at five sons a page．A new year came，followed by another and another，and still they grubbed on，until ten years had flowed on．Their efforts were not in vain．At the end of that time they had managed to pay off everything，including interest at high rate．Madame Loisel now looked older than her age．Her hair disheveled，her skirt turned to one side，her hands rough and hardened，the former sentimental，romantic woman had turned into a stout- hearted matron who had tasted the bitters of life．Now and then，however，when her husband was away at the office，she would sit by the window and think of the glory of that dance．What sort of woman would she be now，if she had not lost the necklace？Who knows？One Sunday she went for a stroll in the Champs-Elysées to divert her mind from the labours of the week，when she caught sight of a lady with a child．It was Madame restier！Madame Forestier looked as young，as beautiful，and as charming as ten years before．Madame Loisel felt her heart beat hard．Should she speak to her？Yes，of course．The debt had all been paid；she might tell her all about it．Why not？She went up to Madame Forestier．“Hello，Jeanne！”Her friend looked mystified，addressed by a poorly－dressed stranger：She had not recognized Madame Loisel．“I'm afraid you've made a mistake．Sorry，but I don't know you，she said．Jeanne！It's me—Mathilde Loisel．”Madame Forestier uttered a cry of surprise．“Oh，my poor Mathild！What's happened to you？You're quite a stranger！“Yes，I've had a very hard time since then—and all through you！“Through me！How can that be？”“You remember the diamond necklace I borrowed from you to attend the dance at theEduca-10tion Office？”“Yes，Well？”“Well，I lost it．”“What makes you say so？You returned it to me．”“What I returned to you was another one，exactly like it．And for the last ten years my husband and I have been working hard to pay for it．You know，it is hard for us poor people to pay thirty－six thousand francs．But don't worry！It's all over now．We've paid it in full．”Madame Forestier stopped short．“You say that you lost my necklace and bought a diamond necklace like mine to replace it？“Yes．You've never noticed it，then！They were exactly alike．”Madame Forestier，deeply moved，seized both her hands．“Oh，my poor Mathilde！What have you done？Why，mine was only imitation，not genuine！* * *“Then you don't think our ten years' labour wasted？”the husband asked．“Wasted？Oh，no！When you were at the office，I often sat by the window and wondered what sort of person I should be if I had not lost the necklace．Now I know my answer．”“ I know your answer，my dear，the husband said．“Yes，it was the lost necklace that inspired us with courage，endurance and perseverance．But for that incident，I'd have remained a selfish，graceless，thankless person．Wasted？Oh，no！”At that moment there came a knock at the door．Madame Loisel opened it，and found Madame Forestier standing there，her face radiant with smiles．“Madame Forestier！”“My dear Mathilde，I'm going on a tour tomorrow，”Madame Forestier hastily said．“Before I start，I want to make you a present of this necklace．Please accept it．”Before Mathilde could say anything，Madame Forestier was gone．。

the necklace主要内容
the necklace主要内容"The Necklace" is a short story written by French author Guy de Maupassant. It was first published in the newspaper Le Gaulois on February 17, 1884. The story follows the life of a young woman named Mathilde Loisel, who is unhappy with her modest life and dreams of wealth and luxury.Mathilde's dissatisfaction with her circumstances leads her to constantly yearn for more. One day, her husband brings her an invitation to a high-class event at the Ministry of Education. Mathilde is ecstatic but soon becomes overwhelmed with worry about her lack of suitable clothing and jewelry to wear to the event.To appease Mathilde, her husband lends her the money he had been saving up for a rifle to buy a new dress. However, Mathilde insists that she must also have a beautiful necklace to complete her ensemble. Through connections, Mathilde borrows a stunning diamond necklace from a wealthy friend, Madame Forestier.The night of the event is a success, and Mathilde feels as though she finally fits in among the upper class. However, upon returning home, she realizes that she has lost the necklace. Frantically, Mathilde and her husband search for it, but it is nowhere to be found.Not wanting to face the consequences of losing such an expensive piece of jewelry, Mathilde and her husband decide to replace the necklace. They buy an identical one, which turns out to cost a considerable amount of money, forcing them into debt. Mathilde spends the next decade working hard to repay the debt, taking on menial jobs and living a significantly reduced lifestyle.After ten years of hard work and hardship, Mathilde spots Madame Forestier on the street. She gathers the courage to approach her former friend and explains the lost necklace and its subsequent replacement. To Mathilde's surprise, Madame Forestier reveals that the original necklace was fake and had been worth only a few hundred francs.Devastated by the realization that ten years of her life have been wasted working to repay a debt for a worthless necklace, Mathilde reflects on the vanity and ambition that led her to such misery. The story is a cautionary tale about the pursuit of material possessions and the consequences of not being content with one's own circumstances.。

10. The NecklaceAfter Guy De MaupassantTEXTShe was one of those pretty and charming girls who are sometimes，as if （似乎，好像）by a mistake of destiny，born into a family of clerks. she had no dowry，no expectations，no means of being known , understood，loved，or wedded by any rich and distinguished man and she let herself be married to a little clerk at the Ministry of Public Instruction.She dressed plainly because she could not dress well，but her unhappiness seemed to be deeper than one might expect . She seemed to feel that she had fallen from her proper station in life as a woman of wealth，beauty，grace，and charm . She valued these above all else in life，yet she could not attain them . she cared nothing for caste or rank but only for a natural fineness，an instinct for what is elegant，and a suppleness of wit . these would have made her the equal of the greatest ladies of the land . If only she could attain them….She suffered，feeling born for all the delicacies and all the luxuries . She suffered from the poverty of her dwelling, from the wretched look of the walls，from the worn-outchairs , from the ugliness of the curtains . All those things，of which another woman of her rank would never even have been conscious，tortured her and made her angry . The sight of the little Breton peasant who did her humble housework aroused in her despairing regrets and distracted dreams. She thought of silent antechambers hung with Oriental tapestry，lit by tall bronze candelabra，and of two great footmen in knee breaches sleeping in big armchairs，made drowsy by the heavy warmth of the hot-air stove . She thought of long salons fitted up with ancient silk，of delicate furniture carrying priceless curiosities，and of coquettish perfumed boudoirs made for talks at five o’clock with intimate friends，with men famous and sought after，whom all women envy and whose attention they all desire.When she sat down to dinner before the round table covered with a tablecloth three days old, opposite her hushand, who declared with an enchanted air .”Ah，the good pot-au-feu！I don’t know anything better than that ,”she thought of best dinners，of shining silverware of tapestry which peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest；and she thought of delicious dishes served on marvelous plates，and of the whispered gallantries which you listened to with asphinx-like smile while you are eating the ink flesh of a trout or the wings of a quail.She had no dresses,no jewels,nothing.And she loved nothing but that;she felt made for that.She would have liked to be envied,to be charming,to be sought after.She had a friend,a former schoolmate at the convent,who was rich,and whom she did not like to go and see anymore because she suffered so much when she came back.But one evening,her husband returned home with a triumphant air and holding a large envelope in his hand.“There,”said he.”Here is something for you.”She tore the paper sharply and drew out a printed card which bore these words:“The Miniser of Public Instruction and Madame Georges Ramponneau request the honor of Monsieur and Madame Loisel’s company at the palace of the Ministry on Monday evening,January eighteenth.”Instead of being delighted, as her husband hoped, she threw the invitation on the table with disdain, murmuring,”what do you want me to do with that?”“But ,my dear,I thought you would be glad.You never go out,and this is such a fine opportunity.Everyonne wants to go;it is very select,andthey are not giving many invitations to clerks.The whole official world will be there.”She looked at him with an irritated glance and said,impatiently,”And what do you want me to put on my back?”He had not thought of that;he stammered,”Why,the dress you go to the theater in.It looks very well to me.”He stopped,distracted,seeing his wife was cring.Two great tears descended slowly from the corners of her eyes toward the corners of her mouth.He stuttered,”What’s the matter:what’s the matter:”But by violent effort she had conquered her grief,and she replied with a calm voice while she wiped her wet cheeks,”Nothing.Only I have no dress and therefore I can’t go to this ball.Give your card to some colleague whose wife is better equipped than I.”He was in despair. He resumed,”Come,let us see,Mathilde.How much would it cost,a suitable dress which you could use on othe occasions,something very simple?”She reflected several seconds,making her calculations and wondering also what sum she could ask without drawing on herself an immediate refusal and a frightened exclamation from the economical clerk.Finally,she replied,hesitatingly,”I don’t know exactly,but I think I could manage it with four thousand francs.”He had grown a little pale,because he was laying aside just that amount to buy a gun and treat himself to a little shooting next summer on th plain of Nanterre with several friends who went to shoot larks down there.But he said,”All right.I will give you four thousand francs.And try to have a pretty dress.”The day of the ball drew near and Mme.Loisel seemed sad,uneasy,and anxious.Her dress was ready,however,Her husband said to her one evening,”What is the matter?Come,you’ve been so strange these last three days.”And she answered,”It annoys me to have not a single jewel, not a single stone,nothing to put on.I will look like distress.I would almost rather not go at all.”He resumed,”You might wear natural flowers.It’s very stylish at this time of the year.For ten francs you can get two or three magnificent roses.”She was not convinced.“No;there is nothing more humiliating than to look poor among other women who are rich.”But her husband cried,”How stupid you are! Go look up your friend Mme.Forestier and ask her to lend you some jewels.You are a close friend of hers.”She uttered a cry of joy,”It’s true!I never thought of it.”The next day she went to her friend and told of her distress. Mme Forestier went to a wardrobe with a glass door, took out a large jewel box,brought it back,opened it,and said to Mme.Loisel,”Choose,my dear.”She saw first of all some bracelets then a pearl necklace,and then a Venetian cross, with gold and precious stones of admirable workmanship. She tried on the ornaments before the glass, hesitated, and could not make her mind to depart with them or to give them back.She kept asking,”Haven’t you any more?”“Why,yes.Look.I don’t know what you like”All of a sudden she discovered in a black satin box a superb necklace of diamonds,and her heart began to obeat with an immoderate desire.Her hands trembled as she took it.she fastened it around her throat,outsideher high-necked dress,and remained lost in ecstasy at the sight of herself.Then she asked,hesitating,filled with anguish,”Can you lend me that,only that?”“Why,yes,certainly.”She sprang upon the neck of her friend, kissed her passionately,and then fled with her treasure.The day of the ball arrived.Mme.Loisel was a great success.She was prettier than them all,elegant, gracious, smiling,and crazy with joy.All themen looked at her and asked her name,wanting to be introduced.All the attaches of the Cabinet wanted to waltz with her,even the minister himself.She danced with passion,made drunk by pleasure,forgetting all the triumph of her beauty,in the glory of her success,in a sort of cloud of happiness composed of all tis admiration,of all these awakened desires,and of that sense of complete victory which was so sweet to her heart.This was her ultimate moment.She left about four o’clock in the morning.Her husband had been sleeping since midnight in a little deserted room with three other gentlemen whose wives were having a very good time.He threw over her shoulders the coat which he had bought.Its poverty contrasted witth the eleganve of the ball dress.She felt this and wanted to escape so as not to be seen by the other women,who were wrapped in cosly furs.Loised held her back.“Wait a bit.You will catch cold outside.I will go and call a cab.”But she did not listen to him and rapidly descended the stairs.When they were in the stree they did not find a carriage;and they begin to look for one,shouting after the cabmen whom they swa passing by at a distance.They went down toward the Seine in despair, shivering with cold .At last they found one of those ancient taxis which look as though they can carry only poor people.It took them to the Rue des Martyrs ,and once more,sadly, they climbed up homeward .All was ended for her .And he reflected that he must e at he Ministry at ten o’clock.She removed the wraps which covered the shoulders before the glass so as once more to see herself in all her glory .But suddenly she uttered a cry.She no longer had the necklace around her neck!Her husband ,already half undressed,demanded,”What is the matter with you?”She turned madly towards him,”I have—I have—I’ve lost Mme.Forestier’s necklace!”He stood up,distracted, ”What?___How?---Impossible!”Any they looked in the folds of her dress ,in the folds of her cloak,in her pockets,everythere.They did not find it.He asked,”You’re sure you had it on when you left the ball?”“Yes,I felt it in the vestibule of the palace.”“But if you had lost it in the street, we would have heard it fall.It must be in the cab.”“Yes.Probably.Did you take his number?”“No.And you,didn’t you notice it?””No.”They looked at one anoher,thunderstruck.At last Loisel put on his clothes.“I will go back on foot,”he said,”Over the whole route which we have taken to see if I can find it.”And he went out.She sat waiting on a chair in her ball dress,without strength to go to bed,overwhelmed,without fire,without a thought.Her husband came back about server o’clock.He had found nothing.He went to Police Headquarters and to the newspaper offices to offer a reward;he went yo the cab companies—everywhere,in fact,where he was urged by the least suspicion of hope.She waited all day,in the same condition of mad fear before this terrible calamity.Losiel returned at night with a hollow,pale face;he had discovered nothing.“You must write to your friend,”he said,”that you have broken the clasp of her necklace and that you are having it mended.That will give us time to find it.”She wrote at his dictation.At the end of a week they had lost all hope.And Loisel,who had aged five years,declared,”We must consider how to replace that ornament.”The next day they took the box which had cotained it,and they want to the jeweler whose name was found within.He consulted his books.“It was not I,madame,who sold that necklace;I must simply have furnished the case.”Then they went from jeweler to jeweler,searching for a necklace like the other,consulting their memories,both of them sick with chagrin and anuish.In a shop at the Palais Royal,they found a string of diamonds which seemed to them exactly like the one they looked for.It was worth forty thousand francs.They could have it for thirty-six.So they begged the jeweler not to sell it for three more days.And tghey made a bargain that he could buy it back for thirty-four thousand francs in case they found the other once before the end of February.Loisel had eigthteen thousand francs which his father had left him.He would borrow the rest.He did borrow,asking a gthousand francs of one person,five hundred of another,five luis here,three luis there.He took up very large loans.He compromised all the rest of his life and ,frightened by the pains which were yet to come,by the black misery which he was to suffer,he went to get the new necklace,putting down upon the merchant’s counter thirty-six thousand francs.When Mme.Loisel took back the necklace,Mme.Forestier said to her in a chilly manner,”You should have returned it sooner;I might have needed it.”She did not open the case as her friend had feared.If she detected the substitution,what would she have thought?What would she have said?Would she have thought that Mme.Loisel was a thief?Mme.Loisel now knew the horrible experience of theimproverished.She carried her burden,however,with heroism.That dreadful debt had to be paid.and she would pay it.The Loisels fired their servant.They moved from their comfortable apartment to a small attic-like flat under the roof.She came to know what heavy housework meant and she came to know the hateful chores of the kitchen.She washed the dishes, breaking the dirty linen,the shirts, and the dishcloths,which she dried on a line.She carried the garbage down to the street every morning and carried up the water,stopping at every landing to catch her breath.And,dressed like a poor woman of the streets,she went to the grocer,the butcher,and the fruit vender,carrying her basket on her arm,bargaining,shouting,and defending every sou which she had to spend on food.Each month they had to pay off some old debts,renew others and make some new ones.Her husband worked in the evening as a bookkeeper,and late at night he copied manuscripts for people at five sou a page.This life lasted for ten years.At the end of ten years they had paid everything,the principal on their many loans and the terrible high interest,too.Mme.Loisel looked old now.She had become the woman of poor households—strong and hard and rough.With frowsy hari,skirts askew,and red hands,she talked loud while washing the floor with the great swishes of water.But sometimes,when her husband was at the office,she sat down near the window and thought of that gay evening of long ago,of that ball where she had been so beautiful.What would have happened if she had not lost that necklace?who knows?who knows?how life is strange and changeful!how little a thing is need ed for us to be lost or to be saved!But,on Sunday,having gone to take a walk in the Champs Elysees to refresh herself from the labor of the week,she suddenly saw a woman who was leading a child.It was Mme.Forestier, still young,still beautiful,still charming.Mme.Loisel felt moved.Was she ging to speak toher?Yes,certainly.And how that she had paid,she was going to tell her all about it.Why not?She went up.“Good day,Jeanne,”The other,astonished to be familiarly addressed b y this plain housewife,did not recognize her at all and stammered,”But ---madame!----I do not know---You must be mistaken.”“No.I am Mathilde Loise!”Her friend uttered a cry/“Oh,my poor Mathilde!How you are changed!”“Yes,I have had hard days since I saw you,terrible days—and becauseof you!””Of me!how so?”“Do you remember that diamond necklace which you lent me to wear at the ministerial ball?”“Yes. Well?”“Well, I lost it.””What do you mean? You brought it back.””I brought you back another just like it. And for ths we have been ten years paying. You can understand that it was not easy for us, us who had nothing.At last it is ended,and I am very glad.”Mme.Forestier had stopped.“You say that you bought a necklace of diamonds to replace mine?”“Yes.You never noticed it. then! They are very like.”And she smiled with a joy which was proud and naïve at once.Mme.Forestier,strongly moved,took her two hands.“Oh,my poor Mathilde!Why,my necklace was paste.It was worth at most five hundred francs!”。

读后续写Erika and the NecklaceErika and her little sister Beth sneaked into their mommy’s room. “I’m just going to try on some jewelry,” said Erika. She took a necklace and tried to put it on her neck. “Oh, no,’said Beth. “Mommy doesn’t like us playing with her stuff.” “Okay, you be the lookout,” instructed Erika. “Stand by the door and let me know if Mommy comes up the stairs.”Before Beth got to the door, Bouncer, the family’s Bernedoodle dog, bounded into the room and almost knocked Erika down. The necklace went flying. It had barely hit the floor when Bouncer bit it and raced off.“Bouncer! Bouncer!” yelled Erika. “Beth, help me get the necklace back.” The girls were hot on Bouncer’s tail.“Stop!” they yelled. Bouncer dashed down the stairs and into the living room. He stopped just long enough for the girls to get close to him. Then off he went. “Stop!” yelled Erika.“Beth, you go the other way. We’ll corner him in the dining room.”Erika met Beth in the dining room. Sure enough, Bouncer was there waiting for them. He was down low on his front legs with his tail in the air, ready to play. “Grab him!” screamed Erika.Just as Beth was about to grab him, Bouncer took off. He whizzed（嗖地移动）by Beth and Erika. “Stop, you troublemaker!” yelled Erika as she raced after him. The girls were getting close again, but Bouncer zoomed down the basement stairs. The girls raced after him. “I don’t see him,” said Beth. Erika scratched her head. “He’s got to be down here. He’s hiding.”Just then Mom called to the girls. “Erika, what’s all the noise? What’s wrong? I heard you from the yard.”“Uh, oh,” whispered Erika. “Uh… nothing’s wrong,” she shouted.Beth dashed up the stairs. Erika heard her telling Mom everything. “That blabber mouth（多嘴的人）,” said Erika under her breath.注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Comments on The NecklaceThese days I read a short story named The Necklace written by Guy de Maupassant. The Necklace tells a story of Mathilde and her husband. Mathilde is a vain woman and always hoping her life can be rich. One day she and her husband are invited to the Ministry of the Public Instruction party. Mathilde refuses to go to the party because she has no beautiful dress and jewelry. Her husband upon that gives 400 francs to her wife, which is a large amount of money for him. As the party coming, Mathilde becomes unhappy again because she has no jewels. Finally, Mithilde decided to turn to her friend, Madame Forestier for help. Forestier is so kind and lends Mathildea a diamond necklace which Mathilde loves much. After attending the Ministry of Public Instruction party, Mathilde discovers that she has lost the necklace. With no solutions, they borrowes a large amount of money and buy a diamond necklace that looks just like the one that was lost. However, it takes them ten years of hard time to repay the money. At last, Mathilde knows that the necklace she lost is a fakement and only worth 500 francs.The story reads ridiculous. After reading the story, I think that life of Mathilde is somewhat like a drama with such a unexpected ending. First of all, I want to talk about the character of Mathilde. There is no doubt that she is a vain woman. For instance, “She suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born for all the delicacies and all the luxuries”, and “Loisel madea great success. She was prettier than them all, elegant gracious, smilling, and crazy with joy.” Y ou see, she doesn’t want to go to the party at first, so why she enjoys the party at last? That because she has a beautiful dress and a luxury necklace now. She is vain. Also, I think she is foxy, she wants to go to the party, but she said to her husband that she doesn’t want to go. In this way, her husband will buy a dress for her. She is foxy also reflected here, “She reflected several seconds, making her calculations and wondering also what sum she could ask without drawing on herself an immediate refusal and a frightened exclamation from the economical clerk.” Thirdly, she is cruel, she knows her family is poor, however, she uses 400 francs to buy a dress. On the other hand, Mathilde is a brave woman, after finding the necklace is lost, she decided to buy a new necklace for her friend, which is so expensive and cost her and her husband ten years hard time to repay the money used on the necklace. If I were her，I may find my friend who lent me the necklace, telling her that I have lost your necklace, but I have no money to buy a new one for you. Maybe I am not the one who is full of responsibility. Ten years passes, Mathilde becomes an vicissitudinary woman and looks old. I am imagining that, what kind of life will Mathilde lead if she doesn’t lost the necklace. I do not know what will happen, she may be a vain and foxy woman for a whole life. Also, I am wondering whether the way Mathilde does is worthy? My answer is that it is worthy.In my opinion, though Mathilde becomes ugly and old after 10 years hard labor, they are happy when they repay all the money. To achieve responsibility as a saint procedure.Secondly, I want to talk about the theme of this story. I consult this part on the internet. In traditional view, the story sharply satirizes the vanity and thoughts for seeking pleasure of bourgeoisie, and the unexpected ending deepens this kind of satire, however, there is a splash of sympathy for Mathilde. There is also another view, that is the writer is not obviously to make a value judgment of the characters, what he wants to do is to make readers think, to think that people sometimes can not change the doomed life.From the story, I learns a truth, that is life needs predicament, as I siad former, what will happen if Mathilde does not lose the necklace? she will be a foxy and vain woman for the whole life until something like losing the necklace happen. There is no doubt that life do needs predicament. China has lots of stories about people become successful after a period of difficult time both in ancient and modern times, for example, Sunjing, Kuangheng, and Y uefei. So, if you want to be successful man, do not be afraid of the temporary difficulty, try you best, at least you can be the king of yourself. Mathilde, a former vain woman, will not be a vain woman again after 10 years’s hard life, predicament has consumed all the vanity. In that hard decade, Mathilde must has thought alot about life. I promise, if the story is a real story, Mathilde and her husband’s life will be better and better, that is because they have learnt how to deal with hard time and how to collect wealth. Without vain thoughts, they will be the kind of people who with their feet on the ground. Step by step, the couple will win lots of wealth and lead a rich and happy life at the end.All in all, the story is worth reading. Sometimes, life is like a drama or may full of ridiculous procedure, be brave, face it bravely, we all can get it over and be successful.。
