Sunrise over West Greenwich Village & the New Jersey Hudson River Palisades
by Hubert J Steed
|
A residential section of the borough of Manhattan, New York City, usually regarded as comprising the area within West 14th Street on the north, Broadway on the east, West Houston Street on the south, and the Hudson River on the west. Although modern apartment buildings have been constructed, many of the district's 19th-century buildings remain, lining its narrow, winding streets. The hub of Greenwich Village is Washington Square Park, which contains Washington Arch. The New School for Social Research and the main campus of New York University are located here. Greenwich Village was settled in colonial times by residents of New York City, which was then confined to the region south of Wall Street. By the mid-19th century, the Village had become an integral part of New York. In the 1880s immigrants moved into the area in increasing numbers. Shortly after 1900, Greenwich Village began to attract artists, writers, actors, and political theorists from all parts of the U.S. In the 1970s Greenwich Village began to lose its dominance of new artistic and cultural trends in New York to SoHo, a neighborhood to the south.
思想火花
1953年的美國，時代正處于轉(zhuǎn)變之中，婦女解放運(yùn)動進(jìn)行得如火如荼。雖然女性的地位漸漸收到重視，但在上層社會保守思想依然非常嚴(yán)重，在韋爾斯利這所著名的女子學(xué)校，學(xué)院對學(xué)生的教育并不是教他們?nèi)绾潍@得自己感興趣的學(xué)科知識，也不是重視心理教育，而是常以女學(xué)生的結(jié)婚對象作為衡量其地位的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，把學(xué)生的成功與否定義為以后的婚姻。她們學(xué)習(xí)的目的就是嫁個好丈夫。標(biāo)榜著女性獨(dú)立自主的茱莉亞·羅伯茨成為保守校院里的怪女人，不過在她的引領(lǐng)下，一票女生卻受到她的影響和啟發(fā)，大膽選擇更寬廣的人生道路。
這個片段是影片的結(jié)尾，我們能看到這些受凱瑟琳影響的女生對她依依不舍的樣子，尤其是過去最保守的貝蒂，而影片結(jié)尾處的這個段落的語言寫得也非常漂亮，經(jīng)常被一些英語學(xué)習(xí)節(jié)目拿來做范本，希望大家在欣賞影片的同時也能欣賞這段臺詞。
考考你
請大家模仿跟讀臺詞中有顏色的段落，仔細(xì)體會這段語言的魅力。
