荨麻爱丽丝门罗英文赏析生动的细节描写Vivid details作为-一-个女性作家，芒罗还用大量微妙的细节来增强了故事的真实性。
Helen 认为流畅的语言和对细节的把握,是芒罗小说最显著的特点(1980)。
《尊麻》一文细节的描写有很多,特剃是男孩和女孩玩打仗的游戏。
男孩子都是打仗的战士,每一个女孩都为一个男孩服务,为他做子弹(土球)和受伤时包扎伤口。
我是为迈克制造子弹,迈克受伤时当然也是叫我的名字。
一听到叫我的名字,我感觉特别的激动,仿佛电流传满全身。
迈克受伤的时候,闭若眼睛,静静地躺着。
我给他头上、脖子上包上粘糊糊的叶子,然后再解开他的衣服,把叶子贴在他白皙的肚皮上,那个长着小巧的肚脐的地方。
最后被打死的人都复活了,游戏在一片争吵之中结束。
这种细致入微的描写,孩子们无忧无虑的童年、我和迈克两小无猜的感情就跃然纸上,也给读者带来一种似曾相识的儿时体验。
当主人公和迈克再次相遇时,作者还三次用到分量(weight)这个词来描述她对迈克的情感:迈克把手放到我的肩上,可以感到他手的重量(weight);暴雨后,迈克要讲出心理的秘密,他的声音中有一种沉重(weight),警告和歉意;最后,我悟出爱像地下的一弯清泉,用责任(weight)封盖。
As a female writer, Munro also uses a lot of subtle details to enhance the authenticity of the story. Helen believes that fluent language and mastery of details are the most prominent features of Munro's Novels (1980). There are many details in zunma, especially the war game between boys and girls. Boys are soldiers in war. Every girl serves a boy, making bullets (earth balls) for him and bandaging his wounds when he is injured. I made bullets for Mike. Of course, Mike called me when he was injured. As soon as I heard my name called, I felt very excited, as if electricity was flowing all over my body. When Mike was hurt, he closed his eyes and lay quietly. I wrapped sticky leaves around his head and neck, then untied his clothes and stuck the leaves on his white belly, the place with a small navel. Finally, those who were killed were resurrected, and the game ended in a quarrel. This meticulous description makes the children's carefree childhood and the feelings between Mike and I jump onto the paper, and also brings readers a childhood experience of deja vu. When the protagonist meets Mike again, the author also uses the word weight three times to describe her feelings for Mike: Mike can feel the weight of his hand when he puts his hand on my shoulder; After the rainstorm, Mike wanted to tell his psychological secret. There was a kind of weight, warning and apology in his voice; Finally, I realized that love is like a spring under the ground, sealed with responsibility.除了这些细节描写,《荨麻》一文还有精彩的隐喻,使得情感和场景的描述更加生动,形象。
NettlesBy Alice MunroGuide to ReadingAlice Munro is a prolific writer, who has made a major career1out of short fiction2. In the past 35 years, she has produced numerous short stories that are read in and outside of Canada, often appearing in such prestigious magazines as The New Yorker and The Atlantic Monthly. Today she is still active in her writing career.Like her many other stories, the subject of the story “Nettles” is about the problem of a middle-aged woman—the passions, confusions and dilemmas that any woman in a modern society might be confronted with, regardless of race, color or nationality. In this story, the narrator meets her childhood friend by chance at the very stage of her 1(事业的)成就，成功2Described by The New York Times as "the only living writer in the English language to have made a major career out of short fiction alone," Munro's work has been compared to that of Flannery O'Conner, George Eliot, and Anton Chekhov. Mona Simpson, writing in The Atlantic Monthly, described Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage as "a book that must be owned....The highest compliment a critic can pay a short-story writer is to say that he or she is our Chekhov.
