Rite of Spring 分析 高级写作

春之祭亚瑟•米勒说真的，我从来都不明白，我们到底为什么要有一个菜园子，为什么36年前，当我第一次在乡下买了房子以后，我会别的事情都不做，首先就挖一块菜地。

想想现在买一堆胡萝卜或者甜菜头，相对来说，那么容易，而且又那么便宜，为什么还要自己去种呢？尤其是那些块根植物，自己种的和店里买的，根本就很难分辨。

这里肯定有人的本性在起作用。

人就喜欢脱离现实，毫无意义地瞎折腾。

再说，我又并非特别喜欢吃蔬菜。

我宁可吃些油汪汪、香喷喷、一咬一口肉汁的东西，比如说热狗。

要说，如果能在窗外种热狗的话，那倒真的有了一种可以毫不犹豫为自己辩护的理由。

可是，在现在这种情况下，我无法否认，每当4月来临，我就会发现自己走出家门，倚着园子外的篱笆，望着那块倒霉的地，十分理智地下定决心再也不去种它了。

然而，总有那么一天，当我早晨醒来的时候，一股香味似乎从窗外飘进来，就好像来自地球中心的泥土的清香味。

这时，太阳似乎也突然认真起来，它投射到地毯上的光似乎比往常要更加深黄。

那些鸟开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，心里和我一样，想着那些美味可口的虫子正从那融化的土中慢慢爬出来。

让我回去看那块地的并不只是快乐，而是矛盾和斗争。

每年碰到的问题是一样的;今年我们该使用什么方法？前几年，我们在一行行的蔬菜之间放上了 36英寸宽的黑塑料薄膜。

效果极好。

干旱的时候能够保湿，而且保证没有杂草。

但是黑塑料薄膜一看就是来自工厂的东西，—点浪漫的情调都没有。

所以我就逐步改用干草作覆盖料。

我们收割了不少干草，草一腐烂，的确能改善土壤的结构。

再说，看起来很舒服，而且又不花一分钱。

家里有个菜园子能使你感觉到我们这个小小的星球的表面有多娇嫩，多丰饶，多容易被毁坏。

在我们那块50英尺宽、70英尺长的土地上，肯定有十几种不同的土壤。

西红柿在某个地方长不好，但是在另外一个地方却长得很好。

其他庄稼也一样。

我想，要是你在地里撒满化肥，这种差别就不会那么明显。

但是，我用化肥非常节省。

我只放一点在播了种子的地方，而不是漫撒在整片地上。

那些鸟开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，心里和我一样，想着那些美味可口的虫子正从那融化的土中慢慢爬出来。

我欣喜地看着这块土地，但是心里也充满了矛盾。

每年的难题都一样---用什么方式种呢？前几年我用的是36寸宽的黑色塑料薄膜，成效不错，干旱的时候土壤仍能保持水分，不生杂草。

咏柳鉴赏英语作文In the gentle embrace of spring's tender breath, the willows stand as the epitome of nature's grace, their slender branches swaying in the breeze like a dancer's delicate steps. The poem "Ode to the Willow" captures this essence, paintinga vivid picture with its words, a symphony of nature's beauty that resonates with the reader's soul. The poet's choice of imagery is nothing short of enchanting, as they describe the willow's leaves as if they were crafted by the finest silk, shimmering with the softest green that only the first buds of spring can boast.The poem's rhythm is as soothing as the rustling ofwillow leaves, inviting the reader to step into a serene landscape where tranquility reigns. Each line is a testamentto the poet's keen observation and deep appreciation for the willow's role in the tapestry of spring. The willow'sreflection in the water is not just a visual delight but a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life, as ephemeral as the shadows that dance across the surface of the pond."Ode to the Willow" is a celebration of the simple yet profound beauty that can be found in the most humble ofnature's creations. It is a reminder to pause, to observe,and to cherish the transient moments that life offers. The poem's message transcends the mere description of a tree; itis a meditation on the beauty of existence and the interconnectedness of all living things. As one reads, theycannot help but feel a sense of kinship with the willow, a silent companion in the ever-changing dance of seasons.。

春之祭我从未明白为什么我会有一个菜园，为什么36年前当我在乡下买了第一所房子时什么都没做就开辟一块地来种菜。

相对而言，你会认为买几根胡萝卜几把甜菜多便利啊。

为什么非要种他们呢？而且那些我们亲自特别种植薯类与在商店买的又没什么区别。

这肯定有人的本性在起作用，一种不切实际的陶神费力。

另外，我并不是特别喜欢吃蔬菜，我更热衷像热狗那样油腻多汁的食物。

现在，如果可以在你的窗外种上热狗，你一定会毫不犹豫地找个理由种上它。

尽管如此，我还是不能否定当四月来临我会走出房门，靠在栅栏上，凝视那惨淡的土地，用我所有理性的力量来决定不再耕种它。

但当清晨降临，我一觉醒来，总会闻到从窗户飘进的一种恰好来自地心的泥土芬芳。

太阳似乎很繁忙，突然将一束独特的深黄色光线投射在地毯上。

鸟儿开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，想着我所想的——那美味的虫子正在蓬松土地里蠕行着。

让我重新审视那块土地的不仅是乐趣，真的很矛盾。

每年的问题都一样——我该用什么办法呢？过去几年我们隔行采用了36寸宽的黑色塑料膜，它效果很好，使土壤在干燥时期也保持湿润，也不生杂草。

但黑色塑料膜看起来太工业化，一点没情调。

于是我逐渐用干草来覆盖。

我们割了很多干草，干草腐烂后也确实能提高土壤肥力。

另外，它看起来可爱，照看的时候也很自在。

打理菜园让你意识到这个小星球的表面有多脆弱、丰富、和易被毁坏。

在那宽50英尺长70英尺的土地上，一定有十几种不同种类的土壤，西红柿在这处不长在另一处却长得很好，其它作物也一样。

我猜，如果你给土壤施上肥料，可能就不那么容易注意到这些区别了。

但我只用很少的化肥，撒在每行种子的右边，而不是撒在整块土上。

我不知道我为什么这样做，并非为了节省肥料，也不是因为不愿助长杂草。

对于园艺的吸引力，我认为至少一定数量的经营者是出于神经过敏或精神故障。

无论生活看起来多么无意义多么困难，你总能在园子里找到出路，找到事情做。

而且，你的父性或母性会发挥出来，因为这些无助的生命依赖着你。

Analysis RhetoricallyRite of Spring is an essay which focuses on describing gardening---the reason why the author dug up a patch before doing anything, the reason why the author cannot help raising vegetables, in turn, to reflect the glamour hiding in gardening and spring. The writer didn‟t tell a word directly about the spring but to convey it by how gardening is moral and neurotic to us. Sketchy in style,and the word …character building‟ is the key to both spring and life, which is really a subtle pun.At the beginning of the article, the composer said that he didn‟t like gardening or vegetables, but dug up a patch when he had the house. This stimulated my interest, so, what forced him to broadcast and till the soil? Then he painted aesthetic pictures when the spring comes:”But inevitablya morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a scentwafts through the window, something like earth-as-air, a scent that seems to come up from the very center of this planet. And the sun means business, suddenly, and has a different, deeper yellow in its beamson the carpet. The birds begin screaming hysterically, thinking what I am thinking—the wormsare deliciously wormingtheir way through the meltingsoil.” How vigor the scene is! Anybody would be touched on heart by the originalnature. The first paragraph is written by tell words, easy to understand and quickly attract the reader‟s curiosity. However, when depict the beautiful sight of the spring, lots of show words are used, analogy and the structure of sentence is more flexible and more appealing.Although there are many happiness when plants growing, there are many troubles when take care of them. “Gardening is a moral occupation, as well, because you always start in spring resolved to keep it looking neat this year, just like the picturesin the catalogues. But by July, you once again face the chaosof unthinned carrots, lettuce and beets.”That requires you do the hand-cultivating to the tiny plants and your paternal and maternal generosity to those helpless vegetables. Author here create two characters: his wife and wife‟s mother. Women are usually more careful and thoughtful where men are not. That explains well how difficult sometimes the gardening is and that made my doubt further deeper, difficulty as it is, why you garden it?Finally, the composer gave us his answer. “I garden, I suppose, I must. In some pocket of the mind there may even be a tendency to change this vision into a personal reassurance that all this healthy growth, this orderliness and thrusting life must somehow reflect similar movements in one's own spirit. Without a garden to tilland plant I would not know what April was for.”Actually gardening is an extension of people‟s life; you can change the way you struggling but cannot stop struggling. You have to admit that sometimes you make serious mistakes, and only by correct those errors can you make progress. Standing on your dignity can do nothing but to make things worse. And that‟s what the gardening all about---character building. Writer here made an excellent metaphor: Adam. Our ancestor is a gardener who goes through the pain of typhoon, drought and his own stupidity, watches the endless reviving and keeps the wishes: Do it right this year! Why our ancestor a gardener but not anything another? Only gardener has such strong nerves.At the end of the passage, the author point out that the paragraph were written in December. The whole passage doesn‟t say a word about spring but leave a beautiful scene of spring in our mind. It not only praises the spring but also illustrates the truthof life. Watching big things through small ones maybe the biggest highlight in this composition.。

RiteofSpring春之祭Rite of SpringArthur MillerI have never understood why we keep a garden and why over36 years ago when I bought my first house in the country, I started digging(挖掘) up a patch（小块土地）for vegetables before doing anything else. When you think how easy a nd cheap, relatively,（相对的）it is to buy a bunch（群）of carrots or beets （甜菜）, why raise them? And root crops especially are hard to tell apart,(区分，分辨) when store-bought, from our own. There is a human instinct（天性）at work here, a kind of back-breaking （使人精疲力尽的）make-believe（伪装的）that has no reality. Besides, I don't particularly like eating vegetables. I'd much rather eat something juicy and fat. Like hot dogs.Now, if you could raise hot dogs outside your window, you'd really have something you could justify（证明）without a second's hesitation. As it is, though, I cannot deny that when April comes I find myself going out to lean（依靠）on the fence and look at that miserable（卑鄙的）plot（密谋）of land, resolving （解析，分辨）with all my rational（理性地）powers not to plant it again. But inevitably（不可避免的）a morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a scent（气味）wafts（飘荡）through the window, something like earth-as-air, a scent that seems to come up from the very center of this planet. And the sun means business（事情）, suddenly, and has a different, deeper yellow in its beams（光线，电波）on the carpet（地毯）. The birds begin screaming hysterically（歇斯底里的）, thinking what I am thinking—the worms （蠕虫）are deliciously worming（蠕动）their way through the melting（融化的）soil.It is not only pleasure sending me back to stare at that plot of soil, it is really conflict. The question is the same each year—what method should we use? The last few years we put 36-inch-wide black plastic between the rows（行）, and it worked perfectly, keeping the soil moist（潮湿的）in dry times and weed-free.But black plastic looks so industrial, so unromantic, that I have gradually moved over to hay（干草）mulch（覆盖物）. We cut a lot of hay and, as it rots, it does improve the soil's Composition（构成）. Besides, it looks lovely, and comes to us free.Keeping a garden makes you aware of how delicate, bountiful（慷慨给予的，丰富的）, and easily ruined the surface of this little planet is. In that 50-by-70-foot patch there must be a dozen different types of soil. Tomato won't grow in one part but loves another, and the same goes for the other crops. I suppose if you loaded（装载）the soil with chemical fertilizer these differences would be less noticeable, but I use it sparingly（保守的，节约的）and only in rows right where seeds are planted rather than broadcast（播撒）over the whole area. I'm not sure why I do this beyond the saving in fertilizer and my unwillingness to aid the weeds（野草）.The attractions（吸引人的事物）of gardening, I think, at least for a certain number of gardeners, are neurotic（神经过敏的）and moral（品行端正的）. Wheneverlife seems pointless and difficult to grasp（抓住）, you can always get out in the garden and get something done. Also, your paternal（父亲般的）or maternal（母亲般的）instincts（直觉）come into play because helpless living things are depending on you, require training and encouragement and protection fromenemies. In some cases, as with beans and cucumbers, your children—as it were—begin to turn upon you in massive numbers, growing more and more each morning and threatening to follow you into the house to strangle（勒死）you in their vines.（藤蔓）Gardening is a moral occupation, as well, because you always start in spring resolved to keep it looking neat this year, just like the pictures in the catalogues（目录）. But by July, you once again face the chaos(混乱)of unthinned carrots, lettuce and beets. This is when my wife becomes—openly now—mistress（女主人）of the garden. A consumer of vast quantities of vegetables, she does the thinning and hand-cultivating（手工培养）of the tiny plants. Squatting,（蹲下）she patiently moves down each row selecting which plants shall live and which she will cast aside.At about this time, my wife's 86-year-old mother, a botanist, makes her first visit to the garden. She looks about skeptically （怀疑的）. Her favorite task is binding（捆绑）the tomato plants to stakes. She is an outspoken（坦率的）, truthful woman, or she was until she learned better. Now, instead of saying, "You have planted the tomatoes in the damp（潮湿的）part of the garden," she waits until October when she makes her annual trip to her home in Europe; then she gives me my good-by kiss and says casually,（随便的，偶然的）" T omatoes in damp soil tend more to get fungi,"（真菌）and walks away to her plane. But by October nothing in the garden matters, so sure am I that I will never plant it again.I garden, I suppose, because I must. It would be intolerable to have to pass an unplanted fenced garden a few times a day. There are also certain compensations（报酬）, and these must be what annually turn my mind toward all that work. There are fewsights quite as beautiful as a vegetable garden glistening（闪耀的）in the sun, all dewy（带露水的）and glittering（闪耀）with a dozen shades of green at seven in the morning. Far lovelier （lovely比较级）, in fact, than rows of hot dogs. In some pocket of the mind there may even be a tendency to change this vision into a personal reassurance（保证）that all this healthy growth, this orderliness（秩序井然的）and thrusting（有进取心的）life must somehow reflect similar movements in one's own spirit. Without a garden to till（耕种）and plant I would not know what April was for.As it is, April is for getting irritated（刺激，兴奋）all over again at this pointless, time-consuming hobby. I do not understand people who claim to "love" gardening. A garden is an extension of oneself—or selves—and so it has to be an arena（舞台，竞技场）where striving does not cease（停止）, but continues by other means. As an example: you simply have to face the moment when you must admit that the lettuce was planted too deep or was not watered enough, cease hoping it will show itself tomorrow, and dig up the row again. But you will feel better for not standing on your dignity. And that's what gardening is all about—character building. Which is why Adam was a gardener. (And we all know where it got him, too.) But is it conceivable（可能的，可想象得到的）that the father of us all should have been a weaver, （织工）shoemaker, or anything but a gardener? Of course not. Only the gardener is capable（胜任的）of endlessly reviving（复兴，复活，苏醒）so much hope that this year, regardless of drought, flood, typhoon, or his own stupidity, this year he is going to do it right! Leave it to God to have picked the proper occupation for his only creature capable of such self-delusion.（自欺）I suppose it should be added, for honesty's sake（目的，利益）, that the above was written on one of the coldest days in December.。

现代大学英语精读2 Unit3 the rite of spring春之祭说真的，我从来都不明白，我们到底为什么要有一个菜园子，为什么36年前，当我第一次在乡下买了房子以后，我会别的事情都不做，首先就挖一块菜地。

现在想想买一堆胡萝卜或者甜菜头，相对来说那么容易，而且又那么便宜，为什么还要自己去种呢？尤其是那些块根植物，自己种的和店里买的，根本就很难分辨。

这里肯定有人的本性在起作用。

人就喜欢脱离现实，毫无意义地瞎折腾。

再说，我又并非特别喜欢吃蔬菜，我宁可吃些油汪汪、香喷喷、一咬一口肉汁的东西，比如说热狗。

要说，如果能在窗外种热狗的话，那倒真的有了一种可以毫不犹豫为自己辩护的理由了。

可是，在现在这种情况下，我无法否认，每当4月来临，我就会发现自己走出家门，倚着院子外的篱笆，望着那块倒霉的地，十分理智地下定决心再也不去种它了。

然而，总有那么一天，当我早晨醒来的时候，一股香味似乎从窗外飘进来，就好像来自地球中心的泥土的清香味。

这时，太阳似乎也突然认真起来，它投射到地毯上的光似乎比往常要更加深黄。

那些鸟开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，心里和我一样，想着那些美味可口的虫子正从那融化的土中慢慢爬出来。

让我回去看那块地的并不只是快乐，而是矛盾和斗争。

每年碰到的问题是一样的：今年我们该使用什么方法？前几年，我们在一行行的蔬菜之间放上了36英寸宽的黑塑料薄膜。

效果极好，干旱的时候能够保湿，而且保证没有杂草。

但是黑塑料薄膜一看就是来自工厂的东西，一点浪漫的情调都没有。

所以我就逐步改用干草作覆盖料。

我们收割了不少干草，草一腐烂，的确能改善土壤的结构。

再说，看起来很舒服，而且又不花一分钱。

家里有个菜园子能是你感觉到我们这个小小星球的表面有多娇嫩、多丰饶、多容易被毁坏。

在我们那块50英尺宽、70英尺长的土地上，肯定有十几种不同的土壤。

西红柿在某个地方长不好，但是在另一个地方却长得很好。

其他庄稼也一样。

我想，要是你在地里洒满化肥，这种差别就不会如此明显。
