9、翻身--开除 这堂课, ...
-
这堂课,我早早地来到了教室,等得百无聊赖时,付子夜才缓缓而来。
付子夜将《Jane Eyre》的主旨详细的讲了。课上至一半,他淡淡地说:“请上次朗读课文的同学今天也来朗读!”我立刻站起来,挺直了腰板,今日我可要翻身农奴把歌唱了,心情就像坐了直升飞机升上云端一样,可当我看清了投影上的那些字后,顿时被抛下地面,摔个稀烂。这根本就不是什么《Jane Eyre》,这是什么东西啊?我瞠目结舌,付子夜翘起嘴角,粲然一笑。
THE BRIGHT GLARE of morning sunlight streaming through the trees overhead awakened Scarlett. For a moment, stiffened by the cramped position in which she had slept, she could not remember where she was. The sun blinded her, the hard boards of the wagon under her were harsh against her body, and a heavy weight lay across her legs. She tried to sit up and discovered that the weight was Wade who lay sleeping with his head pillowed on her knees. Melanie’s bare feet were almost in her face and, under the wagon seat, Prissy was curled up like a black cat with the small baby wedged in between her and Wade.
Then she remembered everything. She popped up to a sitting position and looked hastily all around. Thank God, no Yankees in sight! Their hiding place had not been discovered in the night. It all came back to her now, the nightmare journey after Rhett’s footsteps died away, the endless night, the black road full of ruts and boulders along which they jolted, the deep gullies on either side into which the wagon slipped, the fear-crazed strength with which she and Prissy had pushed the wheels out of the gullies. She recalled with a shudder how often she had driven the unwilling horse into fields and woods when she heard soldiers approaching, not knowing if they were friends or foes—recalled, too, her anguish lest a cough, a sneeze or Wade’s hiccoughing might betray them to the marching men.
读的还不错,我自以为。
付子夜右手托着下巴,一副沉思状,听我读完:“读的不流利就算了。你就不能带点感情读吗?你知道这段文字出自哪里吗?”
我读都读不顺,怎么还可能带感情?
“《乱世佳人》。”我不假思索地说。
“乱世佳人?”我看见他脸色不好,“我看你是电影看多了吧!”说完后斜瞥我一眼,便转向全班同学,“这是Margaret Mitchell的《Gone With The Wind》,普遍被译为《飘》。是一部具有浪漫主义色彩、反映南北战争题材的小说。主人公斯佳丽身上表现出来的叛逆精神和艰苦创业、自强不息的精神,一直令读者为之倾心。而其改编所拍电影通常被译为《乱世佳人》。本片在第十二届奥斯卡金像奖中荣获八项大奖:最佳影片奖、最佳艺术指导奖、最佳编剧奖……”
待我恹恹地回到寝室,踹开门,狠狠地说了句:“《乱世佳人》和《飘》有区别吗,明明就是一样的。再说了,我英语不好又咋样了嘛?我英语不好,是因为我爱国。我爱国,我骄傲。”
吴杭转头望着我,一脸的疲惫,一看就是玩了游戏的摸样,可是脸上还是挂着戏谑的笑。
“少拿爱国当借口。我怎么看你普通话也说得不好。又是谁蹂躏你了?这么不高兴。”
我脸拉黑线,“蹂躏?没文化,真可怕,”我冷哼,“乱用词语。我是被人嘲笑英语差。”
“事实啊!”
我:“……”
“林佳文,今儿怎么没去约会?”我瞥向林佳文。
林佳文不屑地说:“约会?姐姐我早把他开除了。”
“为什么啊?我觉得他挺好的啊。”
“好个屁!他在老家还有个女朋友,始乱终弃的东西!今儿他女朋友从老家来找他,在学校正大门哭得那是一把鼻涕一把泪。我和李薇沿街回来,正好撞见,便混入看热闹的人群。他们是初中同学,那女孩没考上大学,曾经还为他打过胎呢!我真是瞎了眼了。当场和他说拜拜。”
“你确实是瞎了你的钛合金狗眼了。”
林佳文瞪我一眼,嘟着嘴,“人家都这样了,你还落尽下石。”
“你咋样了嘛?我看你活崩乱跳,今儿晚上还和李薇去吃的烤肉,按我说,你简直就是真巧——好吃得不得了。反正你也不怎么喜欢他,踹了就踹了,咱再找个好的。”
“生我者,父母也;知我者,一诺也。”
“他会不会不死心,对你纠缠不休?天天打电话,跟踪你,在宿舍前的草丛等着你,强bao你。”蒋倩说。
“呃……不会吧!”林佳文翻翻白眼。
林佳文向来桃花泛滥,这才上大学一年多,追她的简直是趋之若鹜。我真心觉得林佳文长得漂亮。况且,林佳文家境也好,父母都是省重点中学的高级教师,她爷爷奶奶也都是退休中学老教师。真真然乃书香世家,可这家伙,一点书香世家、大家闺秀的影子也没有。
