1、高考资源网（） 您身边的高考专家【导读】飘绝对是部值得再三品味的好书，文字优美，情节跌宕起伏、扣人心弦，虽然其中由于作者的主观因素，对于美国南北战争的评价并不客观和全面，但以文学角度来说，这绝对是一部绝世佳作，值得一看。【节选】It seemed strange now that when she was growing up Ashley had never seemed so very attractive to her.In childhood days，she had seen him come and go and never given him a thought.But sinc
2、e that day two years ago when Ashley，newly home from his three years Grand Tour in Europe，had called to pay his respects，she had loved him.It was as simple as that.She had been on the front porch and he had ridden up the long avenue，dressed in gray broad cloth with a wide black cravat setting off hi

She would never forget the leap of her heart as she
5、heard it，as if for the first time，drawling，resonant，musical.She had wanted him，in that first instant，wanted him as simply and unreasoningly as she wanted food to eat，horses to ride and a soft bed on which to lay herself.现在看来有些奇怪，当她还没有长大成人的时候，为什么从不觉得艾希礼有什么动人之处呢？童年时，她看见他走来走去，可一次也不曾想过他。直到两年前那一天，当时艾希礼为期
6、三年的欧洲大陆旅游刚回来，到她家来拜望，她才爱上了他。事情就这么简单。她那时正在屋前走廊上，他骑着马从林荫道上远远而来，身穿灰色细棉布上衣，领口打着个宽大的黑蝴蝶结，与那件皱领衬衫很相配，直到今天，她还记得他那穿着上的每一个细节，那双马靴多亮啊，还有蝴蝶结别针上那个浮雕宝石的蛇发女妖的头，那顶宽边巴拿马帽子他一看见她就立即把帽子拿在手里了。他跳下马，把缰绳扔给一个黑孩子，站在那里朝她望着，那双朦胧的灰色眼睛瞪得大大的，流露着微笑；他的金黄色头发在阳光下闪烁，像一顶灿烂的王冠。那时他温和地说：“思嘉，你都长大了。”然后轻轻地走上台阶，吻了吻她的手。还有他的声音啊！她永远也忘不了她听到时那怦然心动
7、的感觉，仿佛她是第一次听到这样慢吞吞的、响亮的、音乐般的声音！ 就在这最初一刹那，她觉得她需要他，想要东西吃，买马匹，要温软的床睡觉那样简单，那样说不出原因地需要他。知识积累1now that 既然2as.as.和一样3be dressed in 穿着4instantly adv.立刻；立即5so.that.如此以至于文化链接飘人物解读飘中艾希礼有崇高的人格和纯净的灵魂，但与现实社会格格不入，不愿改变不愿降低人格，使得他无法面对时代的改变。他能认识到社会变革的必然性但无法适应它。他沉浸在昨天的美好，无法挣脱过去南方庄园的美丽。而斯佳丽展望明天的壮丽，明天会更好，明天我将把失去的找回。这是他与斯佳丽的最本质的差别。这也是为什么斯佳丽能在新时代生存而艾希礼被生活淘汰的原因。- 2 - 版权所有高考资源网
