什么是志怪小说?

答案

参考答案:

志怪,就是记录怪异,主要指魏晋时代产生的一种以记述神仙鬼怪为内容的小说,也包括汉代的同类作品。当时盛行神仙方术之说,从而形成了侈谈鬼神、称道灵异的社会风气,志怪小说是在此种风气影响之下形成的。志怪小说的内容很庞杂,大致可分为三类:炫耀地理博物的琐闻,如东方朔《神异经》等;记述正史以外的历史传闻故事,如托名班固的《汉武故事》等;讲说鬼神怪异的迷信故事,如东晋干宝《搜神记》等。志怪小说对唐代传奇产生了直接的影响,对后世小说也有影响:一、为后世小说提供了丰富的素材;二、对后世小说中鬼狐一派有直接影响;三、为后世小说发展提供了艺术借鉴。

Two men dressed as police officers stole about $200 million worth of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum early this morning.

The two burglars knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the two security guards on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two burglars tied the guards up with tape.

The two men stole 11 paintings and an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt. A maintenance(保卫)worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.

One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt’s works, “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.” It was a very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.

Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market for nearly a century. This is considered to be the biggest theft ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.

Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others. There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.

Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum’s security system. They believe that this is a “professional job,” because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they wanted.
