英语短篇小说赏析Chapter III
Point of view refers to the vantage point or place from which the author reveals character, setting and event. The various points of view can be roughly grouped into two broad categories: the first-person narrticipant in the action; and the third-person narrator, who uses ―he‖, ―she‖ or ―they‖ to tell the story, does not participate in the action. The most common and conventional of the third-person narrator is the omniscient narrator who is literally ―all-knowing‖.
Miss Brill. But when the narrator lets the readers out of her head and he reads the conversations of two young people, it becomes clear that the whole conflict of the story lies in Miss Brill. The story also reflects the typical style of Katherine Mansfield: stream-of-consciousness narration to take the reader inside Miss Brill’s mind to learn her isolation, loneliness and to see the actual flow of and interplay between her conscious, semi-conscious, and even unconscious thoughts.
Was it the old man’s heart beat, or did the speaker hear his own heart beat? As to Katherine Mansfield’s ―Miss Brill‖, it is an interior monologue of a lonely woman. This story is told by the third-person omniscient narrator who not only reports what Miss Brill does, feels and thinks but also interprets and comments on her behaviors. It is difficult to find the conflict of the story while reading the first pages, where the readers are made to feel the spirit of the holiday, with people walking and band playing in the park, and where readers see everything ―through‖ the mind of
In the short story ―The Tell-Tale Heart‖, Edgar Allan Poe
skillfully used the first person narrator who speaks directly to the reader about his eyewitness accounts and his personal experience, thoughts and feelings. ―I‖ in the story tries to convince the reader that he is not mad but simply nervous. He attempts to tell his murder of the old man in a calm way, but as he describes various parts, he begins shouting with a great level of passion. The murder is gothic and detailed. After killing the man he buried his pieces of body under the boards. His fevered imagination brought him to great heights of creativity and the depths of paranoiac despair when he heard the noise within his ears.
Chapter III Point of View
Questions for Thinking: 1. What is point of view in literature / fiction? 2. How to distinguish different points of view in the story? 3. Do you know the stream of consciousness and interior monologue in literature?

The Raven中英文赏析
哥特式文学首先盛行于18，19世纪的西方世界，旨在描述发生在充满神秘与恐怖氛围中的传奇经历.许多学者认为，“哥特元素大都运用于小说创作，而诗歌则由于受到情节、节奏与韵律的限制而缺少叙述哥特故事的基础条件” （Tzvetan 25—26）。
但部分学者则坚信“哥特元素不仅存在于小说中，在诗歌当中亦可以分外活跃”（刘守兰：55)。
作为美国哥特文学大师与先驱，埃德加·爱伦坡的短篇小说以及他的诗作都充满了哥特式的神奇色彩.但是大多数学者仅将研究聚焦于其短篇小说中的哥特研究，而忽视了该元素在其诗歌中也存在的现实。
一、爱伦坡所持的哥特式文学理论爱伦坡对美好事物的凋零有着强烈的迷恋.追根究底，这还源于他儿时的丧亲之痛，与中年的丧妻之痛.而已逝女子的影子常在他脑海里盘旋，引领他在诗歌王国里翱翔。
哥特式风格又恰如其分地被其用于诠释他心底深处的恐惧与压抑。
众多作家在描写恐怖情节时，常对外部环境进行大力渲染，而他则更注重对人内心世界的雕琢.他深信“诗歌的最好主题是死亡，尤其是美丽尤物的死亡，将毫无疑问是世界上最具诗意的主题（Poe：133—140）”。
他用诗歌践行了自己的写作原则，并将一生都奉献给了这种哀伤的美丽.为更清晰地展现爱伦坡的哥特式写作风格，本文将以《乌鸦》为例并诠释其中所蕴含的死亡之美与哥特式元素.二、意象塑造1、人与物的塑造《乌鸦》塑造了两个重要形象：年轻男子与乌鸦。
悲伤的男子刚失去他最爱的女子,他企图沉浸于书以忘却伤痛，但一切都是徒劳,他越看书，越被寂寞与悲痛侵蚀；而象征死亡与不祥的乌鸦却在午夜,飞入这间男子曾常与故去情人蕾诺相会的小屋.此外，诗人还塑造了两个对诗的主旨起重要作用的意象。
其一为黑色，“纯色调可使人产生快乐或抑郁之感"(朱立元：489-490）.诗中所连续采用的黑色背景，可使读者感到压抑,从而感受男子心底的恐惧与悲痛。
诗中反复出现的“永远不再”亦可看作一种特殊形象。
除该词的原意外,它还具有象征意义.在乌鸦出场时，悲伤的男子问它叫什么名字，乌鸦的回答就是“永远不再"，但当主人翁向乌鸦询问是否有良药以消除他心中对蕾诺的思念时，当他想知道是否能与蕾诺在遥远的天堂再次相会时，以及最后要求乌鸦离开小屋时，乌鸦都是通过“永远不再”作答,也正是这个词，使得男子陷入永恒的悲痛深渊。

Rats and Men"Insoluble" ProblemsProfessor N. R. F. Maier of the University of Michigan performed a series of experiments several years ago in which "neurosis" is induced in rats. The rats are first trained to jump off the edge of a platform at one of two doors.If the rat jumps to the right, the door holds fast, and it bumps its nose and falls into a net; if it jumps to the left, the door opens, and the rat finds a dish of food. When the rats are well trained to this reaction, the situation is changed. The food is put behind the other door, so that in order to get their reward they now have to jump to the right instead of to the left. (Other changes, such as marking the two doors in different ways, may also be introduced by the experimenter.)If the rat fails to figure out the new system, so that each time it jumps it never knows whether it is going to get food or bump its nose, it finally gives up and refuses to jump at all. At this stage, Dr. Maier says, "Many rats prefer to starve rather than make a choice."密執安大學のN.R.F. 麥耶教授幾年前做過一系列可以誘導鼠產生“神經官能症”の實驗。

• 1b.Ten year s ago the Aral was the fourth-largest inland sea in the world, comparable to the largest of North America's Great Lakes. Now it is disappearing because the water that used to feed it has been diverted in an ill-considered irrigation scheme to grow cotton in the desert. The new shoreline was almost forty kilometers across the sand from where the fishing fleet was now permanently docked. Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Muynak the people were still canning fish – the Aral Sea but shipped by rail through Siberia from the Pacific Ocean, more than a thousand miles away.
• 3b.Fewer than a hundred yards from the South Pole, upwind from the ice runway (where the ski plane lands and keeps its engines running to prevent the metal parts from freeze-locking together,) scientists monitor the air several times every day to chart the course of that inexorable change. During my visit, I watched one scientist draw the results of that day's measurements, pushing the end of a steep line still higher on the graph. He told me how easy it is – there at the end of the earth – to see that this enormous change in the global atmosphere is still picking up speed.

Cells in those organs that suffer constant wear and tear—as in the skin or in the intestinal lining—grow and multiply all life long. Other cells, not so exposed, as in nerve and muscle, do not multiply at all in the adult, under any circumstances. Still other organs, ordinarily quiescent, as liver and bone, stand ready to grow if that is necessary to replace damage. When the proper repairs are made, growth stops.

托福雅思英语：短篇小说《初秋》赏析
第⼆讲 平静表⾯下的情感激流—短篇⼩说《初秋》赏析 《初秋》(Early Autumn)是美国⿊⼈作家兰斯顿•休斯⼀篇脍炙⼈⼝的短篇⼩说。
作者以朴素⽽⾼超的写作⼿法，通过短短的445个词，⼀⽓呵成，向我们展⽰了⼀幅平静⽽⼜波澜壮阔的感情画⾯，读来回味⽆穷，⼼情久久不得平静。
要想平静⽽深刻地理解和接受作者那种“⽆动于衷”的纯记述⼝吻，就需要对⽂学创作中的“⾃然主义”写作⽅法有个⼤概的了解。
⾃然主义⽂学的基调是记实性的，⾃然主义作家有意采⽤明⽩通俗、朴素⽆华的⽇常语⾔，堆积起⼤量琐碎的细节，从⽽准确地再现社会⽣活的⾯貌、特征，乃⾄时代⽓息，⽽在这种记实性的外观之下，则潜伏着⼀股浓厚的悲观情绪。
在⾃然主义作家的⼩说中，⽣活画⾯是悲惨的，令⼈沮丧的。
⼈物总是漫⽆⽬的地四处漂荡，总是失败，或陷于受压迫的苦境⽽不能⾃拔。
《初秋》呈现的就是这样⼀种听凭命运摆布的哀怨情景。
故事以⼀对昔⽇的恋⼈若⼲年后不期⽽遇这⼀⽣活琐事为题材，通过两⼈极为普通的⽇常对话，辅以⼀定的情景衬托，⽣动⽽细腻地显现了两种截然不同的⼼态，尤其是⼥主⼈公Mary那起伏跌宕的感情波澜。
下⾯就请欣赏这篇旷世佳作。
Early Autumn When Bill was very young, they had been in love. Many nights they had spent walking, talking together. Then something not very important had come between them, and they didn’t speak. Impulsively, she had married a man she thought she loved. Bill went away, bitter about women. Yesterday, walking across Washington Square, she saw him for the first time in years. “Bill Walker,” she said. He stopped. At first he did not recognize her, to him she looked so old. “Mary! Where did you come from?” Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand. She took it. “I live in New York now,” she said. “Oh,—Smiling politely, then a little frown came quickly between his eyes. “Always wondered what happened to you, Bill.” “I’m a lawyer. Nice firm, way downtown.” “Married yet?” “Sure. Two kids.” “Oh,” she said. A great many people went past them through the park. People they didn’t know. It was late afternoon. Nearly sunset. Cold. “And your husband?” he asked her. “We have three children. I work in the bursar’s office at Columbia.” “You are looking very…” (he wanted to say old) “…well,” he said. She understood. Under the trees in Washington Square, she found herself desperately reaching back into the past. She had been older than he then in Ohio. Now she was not young at all. Bill was still young. “We live on Central Park West,” she said. “Come and see us sometime.” “Sure,” he replied. “You and your husband must have dinner with my family some night. Any night. Lucille and I’d love to have you.” The leaves fell slowly from the tree in the Square. Fell without wind. Autumn dusk. She felt a little sick. “We’d love it,” she answered. “You ought to see my kids.” He grinned. Suddenly the lights came on up the whole length of Fifth Avenue, chains of misty brilliance in the blue air. “There’s my bus,” she said. He held out his hand. “Goodbye.” “When…”, she wanted to say, but the bus was ready to pull off. The lights on the avenue blurred, twinkled, blurred. And she was afraid to open her mouth as she entered the bus. Afraid it would be impossible to utter a word. Suddenly she shrieked very loudly, “Good-bye!” But the bus door had closed. The bus started. People came between them outside, people crossing the street, people they didn’t know. Space and people. She lost sight of Bill. Then she remembered she had forgotten to give him her address—or to ask him for his—or tell him that her youngest boy was named Bill, too.。

英文散文佳作赏析中英对照英文散文佳作赏析：《生命的三分之一》生命的三分之一One Third of Our Lifetime一个人的生命究竟有多大的意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗？提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难；但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。
What is the significance of life? Is there any gauge to measure it? It would be very difficult, of course, trying to advance an absolute standard. However, the significance of one's existence can more or less be rated by examining his attitude toward life and work.古来一切有成就的人，都很严肃的对待自己的生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白的浪费掉。
我国历代的劳动人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。
Since ancient times all people of accomplishment are very serious about their lives. While they are alive, even if there is only one day left to live, they try to work as hard as they can and learn as much as possible, never letting a single day slip by without any gain. This is true of the working people as well as of the great statesmen and great thinkers in our history.班固写的《汉书食货志》上有下面的记载：“冬，民既人；妇人同巷相从夜绩，女工一月得四十五日。
