14、e tap is dripping peacefully; The saucepan shadows on the wall Are black and round and plain to see. Part Two Background Information I. Author Katherine Mansfield 18881923, British author, born in New ZealandHer original name was Kathleen Beauchamp. She is regarded as one of the masters of the short
15、 story. A talented cellist (大提琴演奏家), she did not turn to literature until 1908. Her WorksIn a German Pension (1911), her first published book.Bliss (1920) which collected Mansfields family memoirs and secured her reputation as a writer. The Garden Party (1922), her finest work written during the fin
16、al stages of her illness which established her as a major writer. Later volumes of stories include The Doves Nest (1923) and Something Childish (1924; U.S. ed. The 备 课 纸任 教 课 程 年 月 日5Little Girl, 1924).Other collections and poems: journal, letters, and scrapbook (edited by her husband) .Her Adventur
17、ous Spirit1.Famously, Mansfield remarked “risk, risk everything“.2.It was largely through her adventurous spirit, her eagerness to grasp at experience and to succeed in her work, that she became ensnared in disaster. . . If she was never a saint, she was certainly a martyr, and a heroine in her reck
18、lessness, her dedication and her courage.3.Her last words were: “I love the rain. I want the feeling of it on my face.“Her StyleMansfields stories, which reveal the influence of Chekhov, are simple in form, luminous and evocative in substance. With delicate plainness they present elusive moments of
19、decision, defeat, and small triumphThemes of Mansfields novels Themes: different human relationships interacting with each other; social classes and inequality in bourgeois society; the frenzied exhortation to live, which is central to all her writings; the opposition of convention and nature; the e
20、levation of the great artist as the model for living and, by extension; art as a means of being“real“; the notion that destiny is a function of desiringto want something strongly enough is to legitimise the means of getting it.In her most persuasive work, Mansfield found a way of pressing the thread
21、s of such a credo into the weave of her fiction.The story of the rises and falls in Mansfields popularity is fasci5nating, as it shifts with the major social, political and literary trends. Mansfields portrayal of social classes and the injustices of bourgeois society had obvious appeal to the Chine
22、se. One of the translators, Tang Baoxin, writes:“With remorseless irony she lays bare the hypocrisy and shallowness of the leisured class and their men of letters.”Her Feministic Remarks on Women 1.“Im so keen upon all women having a definite futureare not you? The idea of sitting and waiting for a
23、husband is absolutely revolting and it really is the attitude of a great many girls. . . It rather made me smile to read of your wishing you could create your fateO how many times I have felt just the same. I just long for power over circumstances.“Her Influence on the Short Story 1.Her influence on
24、 the development of the short story as a form of literature was also notable. Among her literary friends were Aldous Huxley, Virginia Woolf, who considered her overpraised, and D.H. Lawrence. 2.“I was jealous of her writingthe only writing I have ever been jealous of.“Virginia Woolf Her Quotes1.Make
25、 it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you cant build on it; it is only good for wallowing in.2.I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing. 3.Whenever I prepare for a jo

27、dens, on the banks of the River Thames in southwest London, represents 250 years of landscape and garden history. The site also houses 40 historically significant buildings, including Kew Palace, Queen Charlottes Cottage, and the Palm House. Kew Palace was the home of Augusta, Princess of Wales in t
28、he 18th centuryThe Palm House has 10 miles (16 kilometers) of stainless steel glazing bars.CorsicaCorsica, a region of France, was ruled over the centuries by the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Goths and Saracens. It was eventually sold to France by the Genoese.Located in the western Mediterranean,
29、 just to the north of Sardinia, its 160 km (99 miles) southeast of Nice, France, and 82 km (51 miles) west of Tuscany, Italy.Famous for its independent spirit, rugged beauty, olive oil, wine and citrus fruit, Corsica was the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Corte is the natural boundary between Cor
30、sica of North and Corsica of South. It reigns as a sentry from the top of its rocky peak, over the valleys where the Tavignano and the Restonica have cut from their torrents gorges so beautiful that they are classified as a “big national place of interest“. Like a masterpiece that the final touch mu
31、st sublimate, the gods only could give Corsica, in its extreme south, a unique place of interest. This one takes the look of a white ship which proudly attacks the open sea: Bonifacio ! The VolgaThe Volga River is the longest river in Europe, about 2,300 miles (3,700 km). It originates at an elevati
32、on of only 740 feet (225 m) in the Valday Hills northwest of Moscow, and connects with the Rybinsk Reservoir. The river heads east past Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan. From there it turns south past Samara and Volgograd. At Volgograd, it links, through canals, with the Don River and Black Sea.
33、 Since the initial elevation is so low, the river flows slowly, and finally enters the Caspian Sea, below sea level in a wide delta near Astrakhan. In winter the river freezes to a depth of about 6 feetThe Volga River, being the longest in Europe has many cruise boats passing on its ways every day.
34、The Black SeaThe Black Sea (known as the Euxine Sea in antiquity) is an inland sea between southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It is connected to the Mediterranean Sea by the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara, and to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch.The most important river entering the Black Se
35、a is the Danube. The Black Sea has an area of 422,000 km and a maximum depth of 2,210 m. The Bulgarian coastline of the Black Sea doesnt have many islands. Those that exist are mostly small, uninhabited and covered with algae. Countries bordering on the Black Sea are Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukrai

It is the deepest freshwater lake on the earth and the largest reservoir of fresh surface water. Irkutsk kept the spirit of a 19th
39、 century Russian city. In the center, there are blocks of traditional wooden buildings with typical carvings. Krasnoyarsk is located in south-central Siberia on the 6th-longest river in the world, the Yenesei RiverPart III Text AppreciationI. Text Analysis 1.StructurePlot of the story: a young woman
