补上昨天的笔记,一下子读太多感觉囫囵吞枣,没有太消化,不过读之前查了相关评论与背景,还是有一些感悟的,文中第一章整个渲染了压抑黑暗的气氛,强权政治下的社会让人难以喘息。wiston开始写日记。二三章讲了wiston帮隔壁修理东西,回忆自己与父母之前的故事。其中最多的是环境描写,形容词,句式变换,刻画人物形象鲜明,可以感受到wiston的痛苦不堪,内心的挣扎。
Winston poured out nearly a teacupful, nerved himself for a shock, and gulped it down like a dose of medicine. 三个动词一气呵成,画面感强烈,把winston的痛苦写的淋漓尽致。
sb had been stricken immediately by an overwhelming desire to possess it
it was a compromising possession.
Eric补充
1. slip, 在这里是 go there quickly and quietly的意思
2. it was a compromising possession. compromising在这的意思是“使人难堪,有失体面的”
3. then fetched up with a bump against the Newspeak word doublethink. (with a bump是with a shock)
4. if anything so nebulous could be said to happen. (nebulous的意思是vague)
Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him: or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.
Winston had never made the smallest effort to verify this guess 双重否定
A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic.
