The Elephant Man(象人)
1The Creature in the Shop
My name is Dr Frederick Treves. I am a doctor at the London Hospital. One day in 1884, I saw a picture in the window of a shop near the hospital. I stopped in front of the shop and looked at the picture. At first I felt interested, then I felt angry, then afraid. It was a horrible, ugly picture. There was a man in the picture, but he did not look like you and me. He did not look like a man. He looked like an elephant. I read the writing under the picture. It said：Come in and see the Elephant Man. 2 pence.
I opened the door and went in.
There was a man in the shop. He was a dirty man in an old coat with a cigarette in his mouth. ‘What do you want？’he asked.
‘I'd like to see the elephant man, please, ’I said.
The man looked at me angrily. ‘Well, you can't, ’ he said. ‘The shop's closing now. You can come back tomorrow. ’
‘I'm sorry, ’I said. ‘ But I would like to see him now. I have no t ime tomorrow—I have a lot of work to do. But I can give you more than 2 pence. ’
The man looked at me carefully. Then he took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled with his yellow teeth.
‘All right, sir, ’he said. ‘Give me twelve pence then. ’
I gave him the money and he opened a door at the back of the shop. We went into a little
room. The room was cold and dark, and there was a horrible smell in it.
A creature sat on a chair behind a table. I say a creature, because it was not a man or a woman, like you or me. The creature did not move or look at us. It sat very quietly on the chair in the cold, dark, dirty room, and looked at the table. The creature had a cloth over its head, because of the cold. On the table in front of it, there was a dead flower.
‘Stand up! ’said the shopkeeper, loudly.
The creature stood up slowly. It took the old cloth off its head, and put it on the chair.
I looked at the creature and felt sad. I am a doctor, so I know a lot about accidents and ill people. I see horrible, ugly things every day. But this creature, this thing, was the worst of all. There were no men or women in the hospital like him.
He wore some old trousers, but no shirt, coat, or shoes, so I could see his body very well. His head was the most interesting thing. It was very, very big—like an enormous bag with a lot of books in it. The head did not have much hair, and there was another bag of brown, dirty skin at the back of it. This skin came down below his neck. I could not see one of his eyes very well, because a lot of skin came down in front of his face, too.
An enormous red tooth came out of his mouth, under his nose. It looked like an elephant's tooth. The mouth and nose were like holes in the face. The face could not smile or laugh or look angry or sad, because the skin could not move. It was dead, like an elephant's face. There were more bags of dirty skin on the front and back of the creature's body. These bags came down to his legs. The right arm was enormous, and there were bags of skin on it,
too. The right hand was like a man's foot.
But the left hand the left arm and the left hand were beautiful! The left arm had wonderful skin, and the fingers of the left hand were long and beautiful. It was like a young woman's hand!
‘Walk, Merrick! ’ said the shopkeeper angrily. ‘Come on, quickly, move! ’He hit the creature with his hand.
Slowly, the creature walked across the room. But he could not walk well. His legs were very big and fat and he had a bad back. He could not walk far without a stick.
‘All right, thank you, ’I said. ‘Let him sit down. I don't want to see any more. ’I felt ill, and the smell in the room was very bad.
‘Yes, sir, ’said the shopkeeper. ‘Sit down, Merrick. ’
We went out of the room and closed the door. The shopkeeper smiled at me with his yellow teeth.
‘Wonderful, sir, isn't it？’he said. ‘The best Elephant Man in England! Hundreds of people come to see him, you know, hundreds! I take him all over the country, I do! ’
‘Yes, very interesting, ’I said. ‘Can I sit down？’
‘Yes, sir, of course. Here's a chair. ’He looked at me, smiling. ‘Would you like a glass of water, sir？’
‘Yes, please, ’I said. Then I looked at the things in the dirty shop. There were two or three bad apples and some old black bananas：That was all. ‘Er, no…no, thank you. I'm all right, ’
I said. ‘Did you…did you call the creature Merrick？’
‘That's right, sir. Joseph Merrick. The best Elephant Man in England! I take him all over the country, you know. Lots of people want to see him. ’
‘Yes, I see. Do you get a lot of money？’
‘Well, sometimes we do, sir, yes. But it's difficult, you see, sir, because of the police. The police don't like us, you see, sir. So we can't stay in a town very long. We usually move every week. ’
‘Yes, I see. Well, anyway, Mr.…er？’
‘Silcock, sir. Simon Silcock. ’
‘Yes, well, Mr. Silcock, I'm a doctor at the London Hospital. My name is Dr Treves. I think this…er… this man Jose ph Merrick is very interesting, and I would like to see him at the hospital. I want to look at him more carefully, you see.
‘Yes sir, I see. But how can he get to the hospital？It's going to be difficult. ’
‘Why, man？The hospital's not far from here. ’
‘Well, yes, sir. I know. But, you see, Merrick can't walk very well. He needs help. ’
‘You can come with him. Do you want more money？Is that it？’
‘Well, yes, sir, I do. But, you see, people are afraid of him too… In the road, little boys always run after him and hit him. Then the police get angry because people are afraid. Sometimes they take us to prison. ’
‘I see, ’I said. ‘Well, how can he come to the hospital, then？’‘Bring a cab, sir, ’said Silcock. ‘You can take him to the hospital in a cab. ’
2The Card
So next day, at seven o’clock, I came to the shop in a cab. There were not very many people in the road, because it was early in the morning. In November it is dark at seven o’clock in the morning, and I could not see the shop very well. I waited five minutes. A postman walked past. Then the door of the shop opened, and the creature, Merrick , came out.
I could not see his face or his body. He had an enormous black hat on his head, like a big box. A grey cloth came down from the hat, in front of his face. There was a hole in the cloth in front of his eyes. He could see out of the hole but I could not see in. He wore a long black coat, too. The coat began at his neck, and ended at his feet, so I could not see his arms, his body, or his legs. On his feet he wore big shoes, like old bags.
He had a stick in his left hand, and he walked very slowly. I opened the door of the cab, and got out.
‘Good morning, Mr. Merrick, ’I said. ‘Can you get in？’
‘Elpmyupasteps, ’he said.
‘I'm sorry, ’I said. ‘I don't understand. ’
For a minute he stood by the door of the cab and said nothing. Then he hit the cab with his stick.
‘STEPS! ’he said loudly. ‘Help me up the steps! ’
Then I understood. There were three steps up into
the cab, and he could not get up them.
‘Yes, I see. I'm sorry, ’I said. ‘Let me help you. ’
I took his left hand and began to help him. My right hand was behind his back. I felt very strange. His left hand was like a young woman's, but his back under the coat, was horrible. I
could feel the bags of old skin on his back under the coat.
He put one enormous foot on the first step, and then he stopped. After a minute, he moved his second foot slowly. Then he stopped and waited again.
‘Hello, sir. Can I help you？’
I looked behind me. It was the postman. And behind him, I could see three young boys. One of the boys laughed.
The postman smiled. ‘Is the gentleman ill？’he asked.
I thought quickly. ‘Yes. But this is a lady, not a gentle-man. I'm a doctor, and she's ill. Take her han d, so I can help her better. ’
The postman took Merrick's left hand, and I helped him with two hands from behind. Slowly, very slowly, Merrick went up the steps and into the cab.
One boy was very near the cab. He called to his friends.
‘Come and see this, boys! A fat lady in a black coat! And look at that enormous hat! ’
The boys laughed. They were very near the cab too, now. I closed the door quickly.
‘Thank you, ’I said to the postman.
‘That's all right, sir, ’he said. ‘She's a strange lady, sir, isn't she？’
‘She's ill, that's all, ’I said quickly. ‘We're going to the hospital. Goodbye and thank you. ’The cab drove down the road to the hospital. I looked at Merrick. ‘That was difficult, wasn't it？’I said.
At first he said nothing, but then he spoke. His voice was very strange, but I listened to him carefully, and I could understand him.
‘The steps were very difficult, ’he said. ‘But most things are difficult for me. ’
‘Yes, ’I said. ‘Nothing is easy for you, is it？’
‘No, ’he said. He was very quiet for a minute. Then he said, ‘Who are you, sir？’
‘Who am I？Oh, I'm sorry, My name is Dr Treves. Here, this is my card. ’
I gave him a card with my name on. Then I thought, ‘That was no good. This man can't read. ’But Merrick took the card and looked at it very carefully. Then he put it in his trousers pocket.
I did not talk to him very much at the hospital. I looked at his head and arms and legs and body very carefully. Then I wrote the important things about him in a little book. A nurse helped me. Merrick looked at her sometimes, but she did not smile at him or talk to him. I think she was afraid of him. I think Merrick was afraid too, because he was very quiet.
At four o’clock I took him back to the shop in a cab. The next day I looked in the shop window again, but the picture was not there.
3A Letter to’ The Times’
I did not see Merrick again for two years. Then, one day, the police found him. He had my card in his hand, so they brought him to the London Hospital. He was very tired, hungry, and dirty, so I put him to bed in a quiet little room. But he could not stay at the hospital. He was not ill, and of course the beds in the hospital are for ill people. We have no beds for hungry people, or ugly people.
I told the Hospital Chairman, Mr. Cars Gomm, about Merrick. He listened carefully, and then he wrote a letter to the editor of The Times newspaper.
From The Times, December 4th, 1886
A Letter to the Editor.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about a man in our hospital. He needs your help. His name is Joseph Merrick, and he is 27 years old. He is not ill, but he cannot go out of the hospital because he is very, very ugly. Nobody likes to look at him, and some people are afraid him. We call him ‘The Elephant Man’.
Two years ago, Merrick lived in a shop near the London Hospital. For two pence, people could see him and laugh at him. One day Dr. Frederick Treves a hospital doctor saw Merrick, brought him to this hospital, and looked at him carefully. Dr Treves could not help Merrick, but he gave him his card.
Then the shopkeeper, Silcock, took merrick to Belgium. A lot of people in Belgium wanted to see him, and so after a year Merrick had ￡50. But then Silcock took Merrick's ￡50, left Merrick in Belgium, and went back to London.
Merrick came back to London by himself. Everyone on the train and the ship looked at him, and laughed at him. In London, the police put him in prison. But then they saw Dr.Treves's card, and brought Merrick to the London Hospital.
This man has no money, and he cannot work. His face and body are very, very ugly, so of course many people are afraid of him. But he is a very interesting man. He can read and write, and he thinks a lot. He is a good, quiet man. Sometimes he makes things with his hands and gives them to the nurses, because they are kind to him.
He remembers his mother, and he has a picture of her. She was beautiful and kind, he says. But he never sees her now. She gave him to Silcock a long time ago.
Can the readers of The Times help us？This man is not ill, but he needs a home. We can give him a room at the hospital, but we need some money. Please write to me at the London Hospital.
Yours faithfully,
F. C. Carr Gomm.
Chairman of the London Hospital
The readers of The Times are very kind people. They gave us a lot of money. After one week, we had ￡50, 000, so Merrick could live in the Hospital for all his life. We could give him a home.
4Merrick's First Home
We gave Merrick two rooms at the back of the hospital. One room was a bathroom, so he could have a bath every day. Soon his skin was much better, and there was no horrible smell. The second room had a bed, table , and chairs. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. At first he did not know many books：the Bible, and one or two newspapers, that's all. But I gave him some books of love stories, and he liked them very much. He read them again and again, and talked about them often. For him, the
men and women in these books were alive, like you and me. He was very happy.
But sometimes it was difficult for him. At first, one or two people in the hospital laughed at Merrick because he was ugly. Sometimes, they brought their friends to look at him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital, and nobody told her about Merrick. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she saw him. She screamed, dropped the food on the floor, and ran out of the room.
I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. He was not happy about it, but he was not very angry. I think he felt sorry for the girl.
‘People don't like looking at me. I know that, Dr 26Treves, ’he said. ‘They usual ly laugh or scream. ’
‘Well, I don't want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph, ’ I said angrily. ‘I want them to help you. ’
‘Thank you, doctor, ’he said, in his strange slow voice. ‘But it's not important. Everyone laughs at me. I understand that. ’
I looked at him sadly. In his one good hand, his left hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute, and then put it by a flower on the table. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his enormous, ugly face.
‘Dr Treves, ’he said, slowly. ‘You and the nurses are very kind, and I'm very happy here. Thank you very much. But…I know I can't stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, after the hospital, please. A lighthouse or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.
‘What do you mean？’I asked. ‘Why？’
He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully.
‘Lighthouses have sea all round them, don't they？’he said. ‘Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn't see me, could they？’
‘But Joseph, ’I said. ‘This is your home. You live here now. You aren't going to leave the hospital. ’ 28‘Not today, perhaps, ’he said. But soon. You are a kind man, Dr Treves. But I can't stay here very long. I have no money. ’
I smiled. ‘Joseph, I said. ‘This is your home now. Don't you understand？You can stay here all your life. ’Very carefully, I told him about the letter to The Times, and the money.
I don't think he understood at first, so I told him again. He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing.
5An Important Visitor
I did not want Merrick to live by himself, like a man in a lighthouse. He read his books, and talked to me, but I wanted him to talk to more people. And I wanted him to talk to women. Merrick read about women in his books, but he did not often talk to women. He met the nurses every day, but they did not talk to him very much. For them, he was always a creature,
not a man.
One day, one of my friends, a beautiful young woman, came to the hospital. I told her about Merrick, and took her to his room. She opened the door, and smiled at him.
‘Good morning, Mr. Merrick, ’she said. Then she shook his hand.
Merrick looked at her for a minute with his mouth open. Then he sat down on his bed, with his head in his hand, and cried. He cried for nearly five minutes. The tears ran down his face, between his fingers, and onto the floor.
My friend sat on the bed beside him and put her hand on his arm. She said nothing, but she smiled at him and shook his hand again before she left.
‘Dr Treves, ’he said to me that night.‘That lady was wonderful! My mother smiled at me once, many years ago, but no women smile at me now. But this lady smiled at me too, and she shook my hand! A beautiful lady smiled at me and shook my hand! ’
My young lady friend came again the next week, and talked to Merrick for half an hour. The week after that, she came again with a friend. They gave him some books, and had a cup of tea with him. It was wonderful for him. For the first time in his life, he had some friends. He was a very happy man. He sat in his room, and read his books, and said no more about living on a lighthouse.
People began to read about Merrick in the newspapers, so he had a lot of visitors. Everybody wanted to see him. A lot of important ladies and gentlemen visited him. They smiled at him, shook his hand, and gave him books. Merrick liked talking to these people, and he began to forget about his ugly body. His visitors never laughed at him. He
Began to feel like a man, not a creature.
One wonderful day, a very important lady came to the hospital to visit him. I met the lady, and took her to his room. Then I opened the door, and smiled at him.
‘Good morning, Joseph, ’I said. ‘There is a new visitor to see you today. A very famous lady. ’
Merrick stood up beside his table. He did not smile, because his face could not smile, but his eyes looked happy.
‘That's good, ’he said. ‘Who is it？’
I moved away from the door, and the visitor walked in. ‘Your Majesty, this is Joseph Merrick, ’I said. ‘Joseph, this is Her Majesty, Queen Alexandra, the Queen of England. ’Queen Alexandra smiled at him. ‘How do you do, Mr. Merrick, ’She said. ‘I'm very pleased to meet you. ’Then she shook his hand.
Merrick did not move. For nearly half a minute he stood and looked at her with his mouth open. Then he spoke, in his strange, slow voice.

Aladdin and the enchanted lamp(阿拉丁和神灯) Many years ago ,in a city in Arabia, there was a boy called Aladdin. He lived with his mother in a little house near the marker, and they were very poor. Aladdin's mother worked all day, and sometimes half the night, but Aladdin never helped her. He was a lazy boy and he did not like to work. He only wanted to play all the time. Every morning he ran through the streets to the market. There, he talked and laughed and played with his friends all day. Then in the evening he went home for his dinner. And every night his mother said to him: ‘Oh, Aladd in, Aladdin! You are a lazy boy－a good－for-nothing! When are you going to do some work, my son?' But Aladdin never listened to his mother. One day in the market there was an old man in a long black coat. Aladdin did not see him, but the old man watched Aladdin very carefully. After some minutes he went up to an orange-seller and asked: ‘That boy in the green coat — who is he?' ‘Aladdin, son of Mustafa,' was the answer. The old man moved away. ‘Yes,' he said quietly. ‘Yes, that is the boy. The right name and the right father.' Then he called out to Aladdin: ‘Boy! Come here for a minute. Is your name Aladdin? Aladdin, son of Mustafa?' Aladdin left his friends and came to the old man. ‘Yes,' he said, ‘I am Al addin, son of Mustafa. But my father is dead. He died five years ago.' ‘Dead!' said the old man. ‘ Oh, no!' He put his face in his hands and began to cry. ‘Why are you crying?' asked Aladdin. ‘Did you know my father?' 很多年以前，在一个阿拉伯城市里，有一个男孩儿叫阿拉丁。他和他的母亲住在市场附近一个很小的屋子里，过着穷苦的日子。阿拉丁的母亲整天都在辛勤地劳作，有时甚至忙碌到深夜，但阿拉丁从来都不帮助她。 他很懒惰，不喜欢劳动，只想整天玩耍。每天早晨他都穿过街道跑到市场上，一整天都和伙伴们在那儿说笑嬉戏，傍晚时分才回家吃饭。 每天晚上他的母亲都对他说：“唉，阿拉丁，阿拉丁！你这个懒惰的孩子——真是没用！你什么时候才能做点儿事呢？儿子？” 但阿拉丁从来都不听母亲的话。 一天，市场上来了一个身穿黑色长袍的老头儿。阿拉丁并没有注意到他，老头儿却在

书虫牛津英汉双语读物书虫读后感三篇【--主持词大全】 Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul(简爱) Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think: We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

《水浒传》 ——反抗封建暴政的英雄传奇 一、作品简评 《水浒传》是我国文学史上第一部以白话为主体的长篇小说，相比较《三国演义》而言，更加口语化，也更容易为一般读者接受。因为《水浒传》的空前成功，也带动了明清白话小说的进一步繁荣。 除了开创长篇小说白话为主体的先河之外，《水浒传》在艺术上也取得了杰出的成就。首先就是在人物形象的塑造上，能刻画出内容更加复杂的性格，人物性格因环境而形成，同时随环境的变化而发展。人物形象带有一定的理想化色彩，同时又能够深深地扎根于生活的土壤之中。第二个方面就是在情节的设置上，《水浒传》不单以情节的生动紧张取胜，还有较丰富真实的细节描写。第三个方面是在语言的运用上，小说在民间口语的基础上创造出一种通俗、简练、生动、富于表现力的文学语言。第四，在艺术结构方面，与内容相适应，前七十回连环套式的艺术结构独具特色。 《水浒传》作者施耐庵对于这些“梁山好汉”，是给予了充分肯定和热情讴歌的。他不仅歌颂了这些人物的反抗精神、正义行动，也歌颂了他们超群的武艺和高尚的品格。很多出身下层的好汉，如李逵、三阮、武松、石秀等，对统治阶级的剥削压迫感受最深，因此他们的反抗性也最强，统治阶级的法度条例，对他们毫无约束，像李逵竟然连皇帝也不放在眼里。他们为了起义的正义事业，赴汤蹈火，在所不辞。从字里行间，能够看得出来作者对这些英雄人物的赞扬，完全是出自内心的热爱。作品歌颂这样一批被统治阶级视为所谓“杀人放火”的强盗、朝廷的叛逆，一些所谓“不赦”的罪人，把这些造反的逆反分子写得如此光辉动人，可敬可爱，这显示了作者的胆识和正义感情。与此相反，作者对于所谓“站在上层”的人物，则将他们写得丑恶不堪，和诸位梁山好汉们形成鲜明的对比，从而启发人们去爱什么人，恨什么人。金圣叹评论《水浒传》：“无美不归绿林，无恶不归朝廷。”这句话说明了施耐庵的思想倾向和《水浒传》的深刻社会意义。中国历史上发生过无数次的农民起义和农民战争，中国的农民富有武装斗争的传统和经验，但用文学形象来歌颂农民战争，并且真实而生动地作全面的艺术再现的，只有《水浒传》。 二、名著梗概 《水浒传》全书可分前后两大部分，前半部写各路英雄纷纷上粱山大聚义、打官军、受招安。后半部由五个部分组成，即征辽、平田虎、平王庆、平方腊及结局。 全书描写北宋末年以宋江为首的一百零八人在山东粱山泊聚义的故事。 九纹龙史进结识了少华山头领神机军师朱武等三人，被官府鹰犬告发，当地官府派兵捕捉。出于无奈，史进焚毁了自己的庄园，投奔外乡，得遇一个下级军官鲁达。两人共在酒楼饮酒，听得有卖唱女子啼哭之声，问知父女系受当地恶霸镇关西郑屠的欺凌。鲁达仗义赠银，发送父女回乡，并主动找上门去，三拳打死了镇关西。事后弃职逃亡，巧遇已有安身之所的卖唱女之父，将鲁达接回家中藏匿。以后鲁达辗转去五台山出家，起法名为“智深”。鲁智深耐不得佛门清规，屡次酗酒，寺中长老让他去东京大相国寺当名职事僧，职司看管菜园。在此期间，他收服了一群泼皮。 鲁智深偶然结识东京八十万禁军教头林冲，两人甚为投机。当朝权臣高太尉之子高衙内，觊觎林妻貌美，设计陷害林冲，诬其“带力”进入白虎堂，将他发配沧州，并企图在野猪林杀掉林冲。幸得鲁智深一路暗中护送，得以化险为夷。林冲发配沧州后，在忍无可忍的情况下手

牛津书虫系列《鲁滨逊漂流记》01中英双语文本 1 My first sea journey 1我的第一次海上旅行 Before I begin my story，I would like to tell you a little about myself.开始我的故事之前，我想先向你谈一点我自己的情况。 I was born in the year 1632，in the city of York in the north of England. My fatherwas German，but he came to live and work in England. Soon after that，hemarried my mother，who was English. Her family name was Robinson，so，whenI was born，they called me Robinson，after her. 我1632年出生在英国北部的约克郡。我父亲是德国人，但他却来到英国居住和工作。此后不久，他与我母亲结了婚。我母亲是英国人，娘家姓鲁宾孙，因此，我出生后他们都称呼我鲁宾孙，沿用了我母亲的姓氏。 我父亲在生意上做得很出色，并且我也进了一所好学校。他希望我得到好的工作，过一种平静的、舒适的生活。但是我不希望如此。我喜欢冒险和刺激的生活。 'I want to be a sailor and go to sea，'I told my mother and father. They were veryunhappy about this. “我想成为一名水手去航行，”我告诉父母亲。他们对此很不高兴。 'Please don't go，'my father said. 'You won't be happy，you know. Sailors havea difficult and dangerous life. 'And be-cause I loved him，and he was unhappy，I tried to forget about the sea. “不要去，”父亲说。“你不会幸福的，你知道。水手过着艰苦而且危险的生活。”因为我爱父亲，他不高兴，我便试图忘掉大海。 但我不可能忘掉，大约一年后，我在镇里遇到一个朋友。他的父亲有一艘船，我的朋友对我说，“明天我们航行去伦敦。你为什么不和我们一起走呢?”
知识清单 一、小说的概念和三要素 1．小说的概念 小说是以刻画人物形象为中心，通过完整的故事情节和具体的环境描写展示人物的思想感情和性格特征，从而广泛而深刻地反映社会生活的一种文学体裁。 2．小说的三要素 小说必须具备三个要素，即生动的人物形象、完整的故事情节和具体的环境描写，简称人物、情节和环境。其中，人物是小说的主要构成要素。 （1）塑造人物形象是小说反映社会生活的重要手段。小说中的人物大多来自作者的虚构，但这种虚构又往往借助一个或多个现实生活中的人物原型，是作者把现实生活中不同原型的某些特征加以糅合熔铸而成的。因此，小说所刻画的人物被称为“典型形象”。 小说塑造人物的方法是多种多样的，常见的方法有外貌（肖像）描写、语言描写、动作描写和心理描写。 外貌（肖像）描写反映一个人的大致性格，语言描写凸显人物性格，动作描写透视人物思想感情，心理描写能够揭示人物的内心世界和本质特征。 （2）小说的故事情节起着展示人物性格、表现作品主题的作用。它来源于现实生活，但又比现实生活更集中，更有代表性。故事情节的发展也有一个过程，这个过程一般分为开端、发展、高潮和结局四个部分。在具体作品中，这四个部分的布局不一定能够完全分清，有时可以省略某一部分，有时也可以颠倒或交错，目的是要做到紧凑、新颖。为了使小说引人入胜，使故事情节曲折生动，会同时运用细节描写。细节描写是使情节丰富的重要手段。 （3）小说中的环境描写，包括社会环境描写和自然环境描写。社会环境主要交代作品的时代背景，如在《孔乙己》的开头，作者对鲁镇咸亨酒店的描写，介绍了酒店的布局，描写了短衣帮、穿长衫的两种喝酒人的身份、地位、经济状况等，艺术地展现清末年间社会上的贫困知识分子的生活。自然环境主要包括人物活动的时间、地点、景物、气候以及场景，用来表现人物的身份、地位，表现人物的思想感情，烘托气氛等。如《孔乙己》一文中有多处景物描写，要么渲染咸亨酒店冷清、压抑的气氛，要么烘托孔乙己出场时悲凉、凄惨的气氛，并暗示

《牛津书虫系列汤姆索亚历险记》电子版英语教学 课外读物（含翻译） 1.Tom and his friends 'Tom! Tom! Where are you?' No answer. 'Where is that boy? When I find him, I'm going to...' Aunt Polly looked under the bed. Then she opened the door and looked out into the garden. 'Tom!' She heard something behind her. A small boy ran past, but Aunt Polly put out her hand and stopped him. 'Ah, there you are! And what's that in your pocket?' 'Nothing, Aunt Polly.' 'Nothing! It's an apple! I can see it. Now listen, Tom. Those apples are not for you, and I -' 'Oh, Aunt Polly! Quick - look behind you!'
So Aunt Polly looked, and Tom was out of the house in a second. She laughed quietly. 'I never learn. I love that Tom, my dead sister's child, but he isn't an easy boy for an old lady. Well, it's Saturday tomorrow and there's no school, but it isn't going to be a holiday for Tom. Oh no! He's going to work tomorrow!' * * * Saturday was a beautiful day. It was summer and the sun was hot and there were flowers in all the gardens. It was a day for everybody to be happy. Tom came out of his house with a brush and a big pot of white paint in his hand. He looked at the fence; it was three metres high and thirty metres long. He put his brush in the paint and painted some of the fence. He did it again. Then he stopped and looked at the fence, put down his brush and sat down. There were hours of work in front of him and he was the unhappiest boy in the village.
