企鹅英语《杨柳风》梗概
描写癞蛤蟆大少爷靠祖传家产过活,挥霍浪费,追求新奇玩意儿,最后上当受骗,差点儿连家也保不住,幸亏他的朋友们帮他夺了回来.因为作者对动物的生态十分熟悉,因此童话中的鼹鼠、河鼠、癞蛤蟆等等角色写得既是“人”又是“动物”,河鼠的善良、助人为乐;鼹鼠的温顺憨厚;獾的慈祥和蔼以及癞蛤蟆的鲁莽、愚蠢却又坦率、慷慨,都在作品中表现得淋漓尽致.
这本书有着太多太多的译名,什么《柳林中的风声》、《柳树间的风》等等,窃以为最好的莫过于《杨柳风》.故事里那条美丽的河,其实就是我们熟悉的英国泰晤士河,而河边那几个好朋友:水鼠、鼹鼠、蛤蟆的故事更是随着迪士尼的动画片传至家喻户晓.据《哈利•波特》的作者罗琳自己承认,《杨柳风》这部故事是她爱上的第一个童话故事,也最终催发了她去创作《哈利•波特》.
英文概要总结
At the start of the book,it is spring,the weather is fine,and good-natured Mole loses patience with his spring cleaning and dares to leave his underground home,heading up to take the air.He ends up at the river,which he has never seen before.Here he meets Ratty (a water rat),who spends all his days in and around the river.Rat takes Mole for a ride in his rowing boat.They get along well and the two of them spend many more days on the river,with Rat teaching Mole the ways of the river.
Some time later,one summer day,Rat and Mole find themselves near Toad Hall and pay a visit to Toad.Toad is rich,jovial and friendly,but conceited,and tends to become obsessed about things,only to dismiss them later.Having given up boating,Toad's current craze is his horse-drawn caravan.In fact,he is about to go on a trip,and persuades Rat and Mole to join him.A few days later,a passing motor car scares their horse,causing the caravan to crash.This marks the end of Toad's craze for caravan travel,to be replaced with an obsession for motor cars.
Mole wants to meet Badger,who lives in the Wild Wood,but Rat knows that Badger does not appreciate visits.On a winter's day,Mole goes to the Wild Wood to explore,hoping to meet Badger.He gets lost in the woods,succumbs to fright and panic and hides among the roots of a sheltering tree.Rat goes looking for Mole,and finds him,but it starts to snow and even Rat no longer knows the way home.By chance they arrive at Badger's home.
Badger welcomes Rat and Mole to his large and very cosy home,and gives them food and dry clothes.Badger learns from Rat and Mole that Toad has crashed six cars and has been hospitalised three times,and has had to spend a fortune on fines.They decide they should do something to protect Toad from himself,since they are,after all,his friends.
Some months later,Badger visits Mole and Rat to do something about Toad's self-destructive obsession.The three of them go to visit Toad,and Badger tries talking him out of his behaviour,to no avail.They decide to put Toad under house arrest,with themselves as the guards,until Toad changes his mind.Feigning illness,Toad manages to escape and steals a car.He is caught and sent to prison on a twenty-year sentence.
Rat visits his old friend Otter and finds out that Otter's son is missing.Rat and Mole set out to find him.They receive help from the god Pan who leads them to the location of the missing child.Pan removes their memories of this meeting "lest the awful remembrance should remain and grow,and overshadow mirth and pleasure".
In prison,Toad gains the sympathy of the jailer's daughter,who helps him to escape.This involves disguising Toad as a washerwoman.Having escaped,Toad is without possessions and pursued by the police,but he shakes off his pursuers with the help of the driver of a steam train.
Still disguised as a washerwoman,Toad comes across a horse-drawn boat.After lying about being a capable washerwoman to the owner of the boat,who offers him a lift in exchange for his laundry services,he gets into a fight with her,steals her horse and sells it to a gypsy.He stops a passing car,which happens to be one he stole earlier.However,the owners don't recognise him in disguise,and give him a lift.Toad asks if he can drive,which of course quickly leads to an accident.He flees and by chance arrives at Rat's house.
Toad hears from Rat that Toad Hall has been taken over by weasels,stoats and ferrets from the Wild Wood,despite attempts to protect and recover it by Mole and Badger.Although upset at the loss of his house,Toad realises what good friends he has,and how badly he has behaved.Badger,Rat,Mole and Toad enter Toad Hall via a secret entrance and drive away the intruders.
Toad makes up for his earlier wrongdoings by seeking out those he wronged and compensating them.The four friends live out their lives happily ever after.
