Lesson 4 难句及难点[4]1. I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.2. That indeed is one of the reasons why I have come here--out of the respect for you, who are in process of showing us by your experiments what a woman is, who are in process of providing us, by your failures and successes, with that extremely important piece of information.[5]1. I made one pound ten and six by my first review; and I bought a Persian cat with the proceeds.2 .He has to induce in himself a state of perpetual lethargy.3. He wants life to proceed with the utmost quiet and regularity.4. ...nothing may break the illusion in which he is living--so that nothing may disturb or disquiet the mysterious nosings about, feelings round, darts, dashes, and sudden discoveries of that very shy and illusive spirit, the imagination.5.I want you to figure to yourselves a girl sitting with a pen in her hand, which for minutes, and indeed for hours, she never dips into the inkpot.6. The image that comes to my mind when I think of this girl is the image of a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake with a rod held out over the water.7. She was letting her imagination sweep unchecked round every rock and cranny of the world that lies submerged in the depths of our unconscious being.8. The line raced through the girl’s fingers.9. It had sought the pools, the depths, the dark places where the largest fish slumber.10.And then there was a smash. There was an explosion. There was foam and confusion. The imagination had dashe d itself against something hard… To speak without figure, she had thought of something, something about the body, about the passions which it was unfitting for her as a woman to say. Men, her reason told her, would be shocked.11. The consciousness of what men will say of a woman who speaks the truth about her passions had roused her from her artist’s state of unconsciousness.12. This I believe to be a very common experience with women writers--they are impeded by the extreme conventionality of the other sex.13. For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in these respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women.[6]1.The obstacles against her are still immensely powerful--and yet they are very difficult to define.2. Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write a book without finding a phantom to be slain, a rock to be dashed against.3. And if this is so in literature, the freest of all professions for women, how is it in the new professions which you are now for the first time entering?[7][1] Those are the questions that I should like, had I time, to ask you.2. Even when the path is nominally open--when there is nothing to revert a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant--there are many phantoms and obstacles, as I believe, looming in her way.3. To discuss and define them is, I think, of great value and importance; for thus only can the labor be shared, the difficulties be solved.4. But besides this, it is necessary also to discuss the ends and the aims for which we are fighting, for which we are doing battle with these formidable obstacles.5. Those aims cannot be taken for granted; they must be perpetually questioned and examined.6. The whole position, as I see it--here in this hall surrounded by women practicing for the first time in history I know not how many different professions--is one of extraordinary interest and importance.7. It has to be furnished; it has to be decorated; it has to be shared.8. How are you going to furnish it, how are you going to decorate it? With whom are you going to share it, and upon what terms?。
