GRE阅读题目解析:普鲁斯特的转变

2017-05-10 09:10:00来源:新东方在线整理

  P2

  1

  Draft passages in Proust‘s 1909 notebooks indicate that the transition from essay to novel Remembrance of Things Past began in Contre Saint-Beuve, when Proust introduced several examples to show the powerful influence that involuntary memory exerts over the creative imagination.

  普鲁斯特 1909 年使用的笔记本中发现的草稿段落,意味着他那种从杂文到小说《追忆似水年华》的转变,发端于 C S-B,当时普鲁斯特举了一些例证以表明无意识的记忆对创造性想象的影响。

  (Contre Saint-Beuve 可能是一本书,也可能是一篇普鲁斯特的文章或一种言论,没查到背景。

  S-B 估计是个人

  Contre 法语,反对,against

  【https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/contre】)

  2

  In effect, in trying to demonstrate that the imagination is more profound and less submissive to the intellect than Saint-Beuve assumed, Proust elicited vital memories of his own and, finding subtle connections between them, began to amass the material for Remembrance.

  实际上,普鲁斯特认为想象之于理性思考,比 S-B 预想得更加深刻也更少受束缚,在尝试证明的过程中,他找到了自己的一些极重要的记忆,发现了它们之间的精妙联系,而且开始为《追忆似水年华》收集素材。

  3

  By August, Proust was writing to Vallette, informing him of his intention to develop the material as a novel.

  8月前,普鲁斯特一直在给 V 写信,告诉他想要把这些材料组织成一部小说。

  (推测是1909年的8月,否则就太跳跃了。当然也可能是截取材料的时候漏掉了这个信息。不过不重要。)

  4

  Maurice Bardeche, in Marcel Proust, romancier, has shown the importance in the drafts of Remembrance of spontaneous and apparently random associations of Proust‘s subconscious. (124 words)

  MB,小说家,在 MP 中就曾表明《追忆似水年华》草稿的重要性,这些草稿完全自发,明显是普鲁斯特潜意识的随机组合。

  (romancier 法语,小说家,小说的作者

  【https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/romancier】

  Marcel Proust 普鲁斯特的名字,此处可能指 MB 的一本书或一篇文章、传记或评论或纪录片之类的,没查到对应这个作者的同名书籍。)

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  4. According to the passage, in drafts of Contre Saint-Beuve Proust set out to show that Saint-Beuve made which of the following mistakes as a critic?

  □A Saint-Beuve made no effort to study the development of a novel through its drafts and revisions.

  □B Saint-Beuve assigned too great a role in the creative process to a writer‘s conscious intellect.

  □C Saint-Beuve concentrated too much on plots and not enough on imagery and other elements of style.

  选 B

  有点难。

  首先我们回到句 2:

  In effect, in trying to demonstrate that the imagination is more profound and less submissive to the intellect than Saint-Beuve assumed, Proust elicited vital memories of his own and, finding subtle connections between them, began to amass the material for Remembrance.

  “想象之于理性思考,比 S-B 预想得更加深刻,也更不受束缚”

  可以推测,S-B 这个人与普鲁斯特相比,更重视 intellect,相对更轻视 imagination。

  于是我们能确定 B 是正确项。

  A 乱聊选项,S-B 不致力于研究通过草稿和修订来改进小说。

  C 半乱聊选项,S-B 过于重视情节,不够重视想象和其他风格要素。也许他重视,但普鲁斯特认为他重视的程度还不够。

  5. In the context in which it appears, "spontaneous" in the last sentence most nearly means.

  ○A contrived

  ○B powerful

  ○C abstruse

  ○D involuntary

  ○E premeditated

  选 D

  单词题。

  spotaneous 自发的,非勉强的

  involuntary 不自觉的,不受意志控制的。何况句 1 也出现过这个词。

  这题做错了值得懊悔。
