《围城》的主题意蕴

答案

参考答案:

表层意蕴。中国知识分子在抗战背景下表现出来的弱质化和中国知识社会的某种官场化特征。如方鸿渐、孙柔嘉、苏文纨、李梅亭与三闾大学。《围城》通过这些人物的性格和他们的生活,表现了部分中国知识分子在抗战环境下的彷徨和空虚。

深层意蕴。人生的“围城”—结婚如同“被围困的城堡,城外的人想冲进去,城里的人想逃出来”。这是一个象征意蕴。其实何止结婚如此,这是现代人对自己生命处境的哲理思考。是西方现代主义文学中对人类生存困境和精神孤独的哲理思索。

B

One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying: “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone(砂轮)”

“Yes, sir,” said I.

“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “Will you let me grind(磨) my ax?”

Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.”

Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.

“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”

Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.

At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋), you’ve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”

“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”

The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”
