The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinraddie,in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I.At its heart is the story of Chris,who is both part of the community and a little outside it. Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine.We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father;experience tragedy (her mother’s suicide and murder of her twin children);and learn about her feelings as she grows into woman.We see her marry,lose her husband,then marry again.Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man2. But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris.It is truly a novel of a place and its people.Its opening section tells of Kinraddie’s long history,in a language that imitates the place’s changing patterns of speech and writing. The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents.It is told from Chris’ point of view but also from that of the gossiping community,a community where everybody knows everybody else’s business and nothing is ever forgotten. Sunset Song has a social theme too.It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War 1.Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war.Despite this,the war takes the young men away,a number of them to their deaths.In particular,it takes away Chris’ husband,Ewan Tavendale.The war finally kills Ewan,but not in the way his widow is told.In fact,the Germans aren’t responsible for his death,but his own side.He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle. If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.It is a “Sunset Song”but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie,indeed of the new European world.Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story. 詞匯: amazingly/[5meIzNlI/adv.令人吃驚地 注釋: 1.

Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.在一些女讀者看來,Chris這個(gè)人物寫得非常令人信服,因此不能相信她是由一個(gè)男人創(chuàng)作出來的!練習(xí): 1.

D 問題問的是《日落歌》主要講的是什么?選項(xiàng)A說的是:第一次世界大戰(zhàn)。選項(xiàng)B說的是:日落之美。選項(xiàng)C說的是:新歐洲世界。選項(xiàng)D說的是:蘇格蘭農(nóng)夫的生活。選項(xiàng)D是正確的,相關(guān)的信息可在第一段中找到。 2. D 問題問:哪個(gè)陳述對(duì)Chris是不符的?選項(xiàng)A說的是:她是《日落歌》中的女主人公。選項(xiàng)B說的是:她的童年很苦。選項(xiàng)C說的是:她是由一個(gè)男人創(chuàng)作出來的。選項(xiàng)D說的是:她只結(jié)過一次婚。D不對(duì)。第三段有這么一句話:We see her malty,lose her husband,then marry again.我們看見她結(jié)婚,失去丈夫,后來又結(jié)婚。 3. B 問題問的是:小說的開頭部分主要說了些什么?選項(xiàng)A說的是:Kinraddie的氣候。選項(xiàng)B說的是:Kinraddie的歷史。選項(xiàng)C說的是:Kinraddie的地理。選項(xiàng)D說的是:Kinraddie說的語言。看看下面這句話:Its opening section tells of Kinraddie’s long history,in a language that imitates the place’s changing patterns of speech and writing.小說的開頭部分講述了Kinraddie的悠久歷史,講述時(shí)模仿了該地方變化著的口頭語和書面語的表達(dá)方式。可以看出,B是對(duì)的。 4. A 問題問的是:根據(jù)Chris,誰殺死了Evan?選項(xiàng)A說的是:德國(guó)人。選項(xiàng)B說的是:法國(guó)軍隊(duì)。選項(xiàng)C說的是:英國(guó)部隊(duì)。選項(xiàng)D說的是:俄羅斯士兵。B是正確的。倒數(shù)第二段有這么兩句話:The war finally kills Ewan,but not in the way his widow is told.In fact,the Germans aren’t responsible for his death,but his own side.戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)最后殺死了Ewan,但不是他的寡婦說的那樣。事實(shí)上,德國(guó)人沒有殺他,是他自己一邊的人殺的。 5. C 問題問的是:小說題目中sunset這個(gè)詞的意思很町能是哪一個(gè)意思?選項(xiàng)A說的是:女主人公生命的結(jié)束。選項(xiàng)B說的是:一個(gè)人生命的結(jié)束。選項(xiàng)C說的是:傳統(tǒng)生活方式的結(jié)束。選項(xiàng)D說的是:一天的結(jié)束。正確答案是C。最后一段的第一句話是這么說的:If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.如果小說是關(guān)于一種生活方式的結(jié)束,那么它同時(shí)也是朝前看的。 |
