解释一篇简单的英语文章……………………………………………………
A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. "Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola," the sign said.
"Boy!" the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned aroucd quickly to see who had called.
An old woman was standing at her door.
"You boy! Come here this minute!"
Slowly the boy stepped onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman's house. When he arrived at her house, she reached out her hand and wrapped(缠住)her dry old fingers around his arm.
"Help me inside, boy", she said, "Help me over to my bed. What's your name?"
"Joseph," he said.
The old woman on the bed tried to sit up, raising herself on her elbow(肘). Water ran from her eyes and mouth . The sight of her made Joseph feel sick .
"I am dying, Joseph. You can see that, can't you? I want you to write a will for me. There's paper and pencil on the table there."
Joseph looked down at the table ,and then looked out the window. He saw the sign againg:"Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-cola."
"I want my silver pin to go to my daughter...and my Bible,too,"she said." I want a real Christian burial ( 基督葬礼) with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That's the last wish of a poor old woman."
The boy laboured over the paper. Again he looked out the window.
"Here. Bring it here so I can sign it."
Joseph found the Bible, and , with the paper inside, laid it next to the bed.
" Leave me now, boy," she sighed. "I 'm tired."
He ran out of the house.
A cold wind blew through the open windown, but the old woman on the bed felt nothing. She was dead. The paper in the Bible moved back and forth in the wind. Written on the paper were some childish letters. They spelled the words "Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-cola."

这应该是某小说的一部分,文章的含义要放到整个小说中去考虑,才能真确理解作者的真正用意.单就这个片段来说,它采用了多重对比手法.如：醒目诱人的可口可乐广告印在空荡荡的大街上的一处老房子的墙上；广告中健硕的女人和老房子中孤苦瘦弱且濒死的老妇；老人的最后遗愿是享受真正的基督葬礼,却不能如愿.更不可思议的是,约瑟芬竟把老人的遗言记录成可口可乐的广告语.作者大概想要表达的是,现代商业文化对传统文化价值的取代.
