问题   简·奥斯订的小说写的都是三五户人家居家度日,婚恋嫁娶的小事,因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。有人把奥斯订的作品比作越嚼越有味道的橄榄。这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也许奥斯订的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明查到“小事”的叙述涉及的那些不小的问题。

选项

答案

解析 As a matter of fact, Jane Austen’s novels are all about such trifles as love and marriage, happening in the daily life of some families. This is the reason why many Chinese readers cannot understand why (how) she has enjoyed such a high reputation in the west. But it is not the subject matter that determines whether a novel is profound, or whether it is artistically superior, or deep in thought. Austen’s novels are compared to an olive — the more you chew it, the tastier it will be. This is not only because of her fine language and her creative contributions to the development of fiction writing (the art of novel), but also because of her brisk and lively narration which actually means more than the words have to say. Mrs Smith once said (pointed out) that women writers often tried to alter the existing value system as an effort to change people's view of what is important and what is not important. Perhaps Austen’s novels can teach us how to change our eye and see in a different light those bigger problems (issues) referred to in her narration of the so called trifles.
