Module 3 Adventure in Literature and the CinemaGuidance:Have you ever read adventure novels?Have you heard about Mark Twain or read his “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?”That’s what the following tells of.Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love.Older relatives1,English teachers and the media always praise him.But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,you’ll find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River.He explores2 the countryside on a riverboat with his friends,falls in love with girls,starts secret searches for treasure.Twain’s idea of childhood is magical3—a time of imagination,wonder and,of course,adventure.?More importantly,through the eyes of Tom Sawyer,Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture.For example,Tom hates going to church,and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to make fun of religion and its old traditions.Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical4 points about culture and politics.That’s why he is so loved in the US—he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions,and he did so clearly.He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject,called “Votes for Women”,in 1901.“Tom was a great hero once more—the pet of the old,the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer.But he could just as well be describing himself.美文翻译 美国人都喜欢马克·吐温,年长的亲属、英语老师和媒体都赞扬他。但是当你真正有时间来读一下《汤姆·索亚历险记》时,你会发现他的这部小说甚至比你想象的要好得多。这部小说描写的是一个在密西西比河畔小镇长大的叫汤姆·索亚的小男孩的故事。汤姆·索亚和朋友划着小船在乡下探险,跟女孩子们陷入爱河并开始秘密地寻宝。马克·吐温对于少年时代的理解是这样的:充满想象力、奇迹,当然还有冒险。更为重要的是,透过汤姆·索亚的眼睛,马克·吐温聪明地讽刺了美国文化。例如:汤姆讨厌做礼拜,马克·吐温就利用汤姆在教堂的场景取笑宗教和旧传统。马克·吐温的作品充满着这种对文化和政治的批判观点。这就是为什么他深受美国人喜爱的原因。他敢于清晰地表达自己的观点。马克·吐温也深信妇女的选举权,并在1901年,对此做了一个题为“为妇女而投票”的著名的演讲。马克·吐温在《汤姆·索亚历险记》中写道:“汤姆再次成为伟大的英雄——老年人宠爱和年轻人羡慕的对象。”也许这是他在说他自己吧。词海拾贝 1.relative [?rel?tIv] n.亲戚;亲属2.explore [Ik?spl??] vt.探索;探险3.magical [?m?d?Ikl] adj.神奇的;有魔力的4.critical [?krItIkl
