II Synopsis Synopsis （摘要） The Catcher in the Rye gives us a portrait of a sixteen-year-old American boy, ?Holden Caulfield . Holden has just been kicked out of yet another boarding school. Having a few days to kill before returning home for the Christmas break, he hops on a train to New York. There he spends his time wandering aimlessly from one brief encounter to another, getting progressively more disgusted with what he calls the phoniness of the adult world. While the story is coming to the end,Holden spoke out his mind: I just want to be a catcher in the rye,and catch the naughty kids who is running to the cliff.I know it may be a crazy thought,but I just like it. III About the leading role---- Holden Caulfield’s dream . Thousands of little kids are playing games, and nobodys around---nobody big, I mean---except me. And Im standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff---I mean if theyre running and they dont look where theyre going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. Thats all Id do all day. Id just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know its crazy, but thats the only thing Id really like to be. In my opinion,his dream is： To protect kids from spoiling by earthliness(世俗) and hypocrisy.
