《奥秘花圃》何以成为儿童文学作品经典
“什么是经典”是一个永恒的话题。The Secret Garden 既然被封为经典儿童文学,那么是谁赐与了它这一封号?它又为何能历经百年而不衰?有人说,所谓经典经久不衰既是文化建构的产物也是读者的个人体验: that enduring appeal may be as much of a cultural construction as a matter of individual engagement (p.32). Is this barometer an accurate one, and who is measuring? It is without a doubt that classic literature holds value, as they are a window into our cultures scholarly history, but it is at the same time the individual readers reception to the literature that produces its value.
就此,拿The Secret Garden来说,它何已成为经典:
(1)普适性以及时间的考验
在很多喜爱《奥秘花圃》的读者看来, The Secret Garden 之所以能成为为世人推崇的经典文学作品,是因为其具有相当的普适性。一百年后的今天,当我们熟练使用secret garden “奥秘花圃” 这个词组的时候,它已经成了一个跨越国界和语言、为人广泛熟知和使用的cultural reference,这是所谓“经典”创造出的最大财富之一。在后世后代无数新作品问世之后,经典文学还能够保留本身的一席之地。The list of books continue to shift and change as new literature is introduced into popular culture, but some books seem to having more staying power than others.
(2)经典的布局、意象与主题
I would identify “classics” as somehow c我是一个十岁孩子的家长,今天写这个文章有一个目的,我本来是一个很少写这样文章的人,但是此次不一样ontaining patterns – structures, images, metaphors, motifs that readers can monly identify and connect to certain notion and implications. These patterns either establish/carry universal implications or contradict the old constructs. 换句话说,经典作品总有包含“原型构造”的魅力。没有任何一部文学作品仅仅是因为写的漂亮就流传百世。它必须含有某种普遍的原型在个中。这个原型不仅仅指历史文化典故,还泛指一切运用与艺术作品的构造手法。
好比说,一百多年来,无数读者都被奥秘花圃被打开的瞬间那满眼繁花似锦的景象所迷醉。单凭那一个的艺术匠心与构造手法,The Secret Garden就足以称为经典。
但愿更多的朋但是市面上的英语培训机构有很多,也不知道该怎么给孩子选择好了友能够感触感染这本经典文学作品的力量。
