賞析Lesson 22: The Giant (II)九年級英語銜接版

和寶紅

本文巧用對比，圍繞巨人對待小孩前后態度的變化，花園景色一波三折變化的前后對比，孩子們對待巨人態度變化的前后原因對比，從而鮮明地表達出中心思想：自私是要不得的。作者在語言運用方面，對動詞的推敲和妙用，使得文章的主題入木三分。

第一自然段作者用出神入化的動詞和句子描繪了一幕非常美妙的景象，襯托出孩子們對花園的眷戀。

The giant saw a sight.

Birds were f ? ? ? ? ? about and s ? ? ? ? ? and flowers were through the green grass. The trees were w ? ? ? ? ? their arms softly in the w ? ? ? ? ? wind. Children were r ? ? ? ? ? about and sitting in the b ? ? ? ? ? of the trees.

It was a ? ? ? ? ?.

鳥兒唱著歌兒自由飛翔，花兒從綠草中探出頭來，樹木在暖風中伸展著胳膊，孩子們到處跑著，有的坐在樹枝上，這是一幅多么美妙的畫面。

Then the giant saw that many children...

第二自然段當巨人看到被冰雪覆蓋的銷聲匿跡的花園隨著更多的孩子們從墻上的一個洞里鉆進來，美妙的春天又回來了。隨著花園景色的變化，巨人冰冷的心融化了，他下決心要拆掉墻，但是孩子們對巨人的態度并未改變。

The giants heart.” How I have been！”he said.”Now I know ? ? ? ? ? -spring would not here！” The giant

made a decision and went out to his garden.” I will knock down the wall！” he said to himself.

第三自然段顯示巨人態度的變化從對待一個小男孩開始，當孩子們正玩得盡興的時候，他們突然看見了巨人，其他的孩子都跑掉了，只有一個孩子沒跑，作者用了一個詞“But”，花園里出現了什么樣的場面？作者設下懸念，讀者會迫不及待地讀下去。But one little boy did ?not because he did not see the giant.這個小男孩正在干什么？He was trying to reach up to the spreading branches of a tree.這句中的正盡力，說明小男孩被大自然的美景所陶醉。正在伸展開的，說明樹的繁茂，小男孩在這樣美妙的景色中盡情地玩耍，多么愉快！這些細節描寫渲染了氣氛，為巨人態度的變化做了鋪墊。突然，兇惡的巨人出現，但出人意料，巨人這次突然改變了形象，哪個詞突現了他的改變？”gently”一詞與前面的”in a loud voice”， “Children were so scared， were so frightened and they ran away.”形成強烈的反差。

當巨人把小男孩用手輕輕地拖起，放到迎風舒展的樹枝上，小男孩伸出雙臂，摟住巨人的脖子，親吻了巨人，邪惡變成了溫存。At the giant took him gently in his hand， and put him up into the tree. The little boy stretched out with his arms， put them around the giants neck and kissed him.

立刻地，花園里有了生機：花兒依次開放，一會兒的功夫，花園里鳥語花香，春暖花開，花枝招展，鶯歌燕舞。At once the tree broke out in blossoms. The birds came and sang in it.

在這春色迷人的花園里，當其他的孩子們跑出花園后，因為小男孩沒跑，所以他們在花園外面偷偷地看，看見了什么呢？看見巨人不在邪惡情景，其他的小孩子們也跑進來了，又為春意盎然的美好景象增添了活力！巨人醒悟，拿起斧子砍掉了墻。

When the other children saw the giant was no longer wicked， they came running back. Along with them came the spring. “It is your garden now， little children，” said the giant as he took his great axe and knocked down the wall. Ever since then， the giants garden has been a childrens playground.

總之，作者運用襯托，鋪墊，設懸念，對比，渲染氣氛等手法把主題表現得淋漓盡致，使得讀者身臨其境，回味無窮。
