如题所述
On a cold winter night, a young student had to offer a red rose to dance with his favorite girl. When the Nightingale heard the young student sobbing because he couldn't pick a red rose, she thought the student was the true love he had been singing and looking for.
Therefore, in order to help students achieve their love wishes, Nightingale resolutely decided to cultivate a red rose with her own blood of life.
On a cold and lonely moonlit night, the Nightingale held her breast tightly against the sharp thorn of a red rose tree, let the sharp thorn deep into her heart, and sang all night in the moonlight.
The Nightingale's bright red blood slowly flowed into the dry meridians of the red rose tree. The bloody rose soul finally bloomed in the cold winter, but the Nightingale fell into the lush grass and closed her eyes forever with the hope of love.
After the professor's daughter got the red roses from the students, she still thought he was too poor, so she refused his love. So, in anger, the student threw the bloody rose that Nightingale bought with her life into the street. The rose fell into the gutter and a wheel ran over it.
创作背景:
王尔德生活在19世纪的维多利亚时代,工业革命正在英国如火如荼地进行。整个社会发生了前所未有的剧变,物欲横流金钱至上,“唯利是图”之风弥漫了大不列颠的各个角落。自19世纪初资本主义制度在西欧确立后的数十年间,给社会心理造成了巨大影响。
人们的世界观、价值观发生了很大的变化。在那种社会里资产阶级抹去了所有一切最被尊崇的职业上面的神圣光彩。它把医生、律师、牧师、诗人和学者变成了它拿钱雇佣的仆役”。
王尔德面对当时社会的拜金主义风气、市侩哲学和虚伪的道德,在童话《夜莺与玫瑰》中描绘了一个虚构的故事.以此来揭示了英国资本主义社会中人与人之间赤裸裸的金钱关系和由此产生的种种丑恶现象。追求心灵的唯美世界,以艺术之美来对抗庸俗的社会现实。
下面是梗概:
A nightingale overhears a student complaining that his professor's daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the roses tells her there is a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night with her heart pressing into a thorn, sacrificing her life. Seeing the student in tears, and valuing his human life above her bird life, the nightingale carries out the ritual. She impales herself on the rose-tree's thorn so that her heart's blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor's daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and "everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers." The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore.
