深度阅读动物农场英文版

书名:Animal Farm

阅读完1984必定对动物庄园会提起兴趣,1984构建的社会脱离不开人;但是动物庄园的整体框架的构建却以动物为主体,但是其中的反讽力度却不亚于1984。Orwell将贯穿于书籍的唯一只boar称作Napoleon可见他想要表达的一种主题;在1984书中社会通过塑造的一种精神象征——老大哥,来左右人们的思想,在动物庄园中Napoleon则以Snowball为假想敌,不断将在庄园发生的毁坏之事安放在消失了的Snowball上,说它跟原庄主Jone一只在联系想着如何破坏庄园!从一开始动物们的一种疑惑,再通过各种手段让大家的信服,在读者看来可笑,但是对他们来说却是灾难的开始。

Napoleon took no interest in Snowball's committees. He said that the education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up.

Clover warned him sometimes to be careful not to overstrain himself, but Boxer would never listen to her. His two slogans, "I will work harder" and "Napoleon is always right," seemed to him a sufficient answer to all problems.

不要以为看表面词句,你会感觉到它很愚昧,我们需要深度思考,反映到现实生活中其实有时候自己是否也很容易被人左右自己的看法?自己是否对一个观点还保留自己的一点质疑空间?这才是判断自己是否有思考能力的时候。对于任何事件、消息、要充分的考虑事件的目的与出发点。到最后Boxer躺下时一部分是它终将老去的原因,或许也有一部分是它于晚年对于现行庄园的一种“糊涂”看不清,对于自己内心信仰的崩塌吧!


As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech.

当原来墙上写的 All animals are equal 变为 All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others 时,当所有的小猪接受独立的教育长大时变成双腿站立时,当幼狗长大时,当七大箴言完成更改时,那些后来进入庄园的动物只能相信时,或许这对于他们来说就是“真理”吧!

在当代社会发表任何言论变得很容易,你也很容易看到受到别人热捧的观点,但是你是否因为看到是有多人点赞你就从而趋同呢?要记住永远要做一个有独立思考能力的人。对或者不对是相对的,你相信与否取决于你,你信与不信原因何在是保持你想法的重要关键点;任何阶段对世界的看法都来源于你的探索,保持Critical thinking!阅读一些经典书籍则能够促进我们的思考!

The animals now also learned that Snowball had never−as many of them had believed hitherto−received the order of "Animal Hero7 First Class." This was merely a legend which had been spread some time after the Battle of the Cowshed by Snowball himself. So far from being decorated, he had been censured for showing cowardice in the battle. Once again some of the animals heard this with a certain bewilderment, but Squealer was soon able to convince them that their memories had been at fault.
