论文就写这个的 能不好么
评分半年前读的,现在想起来写一下后感。 Newland是一个内心想够上月亮,可是脚却重重踩在地上的人,内心一直觉得自己超脱于自身的阶层,事实上却是认可并执行这一切规则。Ellen的出现正是促使他认识自我。他和Ellen之间始终隔着一道无形的网
评分名为innocence实则sophisticated,无论是书中人物还是文字而言。语言如简介所说非常polished,但这种刻意的痕迹如此缺乏灵动流畅,导致我私心认为Wharton是后天努力型的作家;最疲倦的是大段大段装饰性的描写,有一定阅读困难因而影响观感——然而抛开我尚需努力的词汇量来谈主题,这仍然是一个被塞进大背景的爱情故事:Ellen代表的激情与格格不入与其说是反映美国与欧洲的冲突,不如说是婚姻中的人性尔尔。此外作者对New York不遗余力的批判很微妙甚至适得其反:几乎每一页都会写到纽约社会如何如何恪守陈规,这真的是女性作家的细腻以及她处于局外人与局内人界限边的模糊身份所致吗?或许她本人其实也乐在其中。(不过结尾真好)
评分The romance was mediocre but the ending took it to a new level. A preserved marriage was the only way it could have ended, yet it broke my heart to hear his own son speak, with manyfold irony, of Ellen as his Fanny. But was Newland right to think a reuion decades after it was due could remedy nothing--or did he fool himself into losing her again?
