羊脂球的优美段落
1、比之刚才萦回脑际的念头，贝茜的到来似乎是令人愉快的，尽管她照例又有些生气。其实，同里德太太发生冲突。并占了上风之后，我并不太在乎保姆一时的火气，倒是希望分享她那充满活力、轻松愉快的心情。我只是用胳膊抱住了她，说：“得啦，贝茜别骂我了。”
2、寒气一天比一天来得重了，像针刺一样严酷地扎着鼻子和耳朵，人的脚变成很痛苦的了，每走一步就要疼一下，后来走到了镇外，田野简直是一片白茫茫的，在他们眼里真凄惨得非常怕人，全体立刻转来了，心灵是冰凉的而心房是紧缩的。
3、她唯一肯用的装饰品，是她经常在家里戴的那些便帽上缀着的一大堆杂色的缎带，虽然已经很旧，但在她看起来这是太美了"。
4、羊脂球始终哭着，并且不时还有一声忍不住的呜咽，在两段歌词的间歇中间在黑暗世界里传出来。
5、路上的雪冻成比较坚硬的，车子走得比较快了，经过旅行中的好些惨淡的钟点，在傍晚的时候颠簸晃动个不停，再后些时，车子里变成了黑暗世界，一直走到吉艾卜为止，戈尔弩兑始终用一种猛烈的不屈不挠态度吹着他这种复仇意味的单调口哨，强迫那些疲倦而且生气的头脑从头到尾地倾听他的歌唱，去记忆每一句被他们注意节奏的歌词6、在门前的大理石台阶右侧，摆放着一个镀金女铜像，头上装饰着各种花，手里拿着一个用来做钟摆的环球。
7、一阵剧痛——彻底绝望的痛苦一—充溢并撕裂了我的心。其实我已经衰弱不堪，就是再往前跨一步的力气都没有了。我颓然倒在潮湿的门前台阶上。我呻吟着——绞着手——极度痛苦地哭了起来。呵，死亡的幽灵!呵，这最后的一刻来得那么恐怖!哎呀，这种孤独——那么从自己同类中被撵走!不要说希望之锚消失了，就连刚强精神立足的地方也不见了一—至少有一会儿是这样，但后一点，我马上又努力恢复了。
8、第六天，冬天的明亮太阳把积雪照成教人目眩的了。那辆终于套好了的长途马车在旅馆门外等着，一大群白的鸽子从它们的厚而密的羽毛里伸着脑袋，亮出它们那种瞳孔乌黑的玫瑰色眼睛，稳重地在六匹牲口的脚底下散步，向着牲口撒下的热气腾腾的粪里边寻觅它们的营养物。
9、下午，天气潮湿，雾气迷蒙。白昼溶入黄昏时，我开始感到离开盖茨黑德真的很远了。我们再也没有路过城镇，乡村的景色也起了变化，一座座灰色的大山耸立在地平线上。暮色渐浓，车子驶进一个山谷，那里长着黑乎乎一片森林。夜幕遮盖了一切景物之后很久，我听见狂风在林中呼啸。
10、连绵不断的雪片像一面帏幕似的往地面上直落，同时耀出回光;它隐没着种种物体的外表，在那上面撒着一层冰苔;在这个宁静而且被严寒埋没的市区的深邃沉寂当中，人都只听见那种雪片儿落下来的飘忽模糊无从称呼的.摩擦声息，说声息吗，不如说是感觉，不如说是微尘的交错活动仿佛充塞了空中，又遮盖了大地。
11、更远的地方是小山。不像罗沃德四周的山那么高耸，那么峻峭，也不像它们那么是一道与世隔绝的屏障。但这些山十分幽静，拥抱着桑菲尔德，给它带来了一种我不曾料到在闹闹嚷嚷的米尔科特地区会有的清静。一个小村庄零零落落地分布在一座小山的一侧，屋顶与树木融为一体。地区教堂坐落在桑菲尔德附近，它古老的钟楼俯视着房子与大门之间的土墩。
12、整整的一夜，在过道的黑暗中间，如同战栗似地传出一阵阵的轻微声息，那是仅仅教人察觉得到的，像是一阵阵的呼吸声，一阵阵赤脚的触地声，一阵阵无从捉摸的摩擦声。人都显然是睡得很迟的，因为有好些光线从各处屋子门底下的缝儿里长久地漏到了外面。香槟酒真有它的效力，据人说，它是扰乱瞌睡的。
13、这是一个晴朗温和却并不明亮灿烂的夏夜，干草工们沿路忙碌着。天空虽然有云，却仍有好天气的兆头。天上的蓝色——在看得见蓝色的地方——柔和而稳定，云层又高又薄。西边也很暖和，没有湿润的微光来造就凉意——看上去仿佛点起了火，好似一个祭坛在大理石般雾气的屏障后面燃烧着，从缝隙中射出金色的红光。
1、生活不可能像你想象的那么好，但也不会像你想象的那么糟，人的脆弱和坚强都超乎自己的想象。
2、没有一个人看她，没有一个人惦记她。她觉得自己被这些顾爱名誉的混账东西的轻视淹没了，当初，他们牺牲了她，以后又把她当做一件肮脏的废物似的扔掉。
3、大海用单调的短浪，抽打着岸边。朵朵白云就如鸟雀，被疾风吹走，飞快地掠过湛蓝的长空。
4、他心急如焚，竟觉得路比平时长了一倍。
5、在芳香的空气中似乎飘浮着某种甜蜜，美妙，神圣的东西。
6、去年严冬特别寒冷，一到五月份，我就想放怀舒展，只觉得一种醉意袭上心头，一股活力开腾冲动。
7、对于一个不能拥有真珠宝的人而言，落落大方和漂亮迷人便是她的财富，而且是世界上最珍贵的珠宝。
8、鹅毛大雪像大帷幕一样从天而降，世间万物的轮廓都看不太清了。
9、她个头矮胖，浑身圆滚滚的，肥的油脂流溢，连一根根手指也是肉鼓鼓的，只有每个骨节周围才细一圈，皮肤紧绷而发亮，像一串短香肠。
10、羊脂球一直在饮泣，夜色茫茫，有时在歌曲的两个节拍之间，传出她未能忍住的一声呜咽。
11、暴风雨中的平静永远是暂时的，不知什么时候，狂风就会突然降临，将树木吹得哗哗作响，转而却消失在天地。
12、人都显然是睡得很迟的，因为有好些光线从各处屋子门底下的缝儿里长久地漏到了外面。香槟酒真有它的效力，据人说，它是扰乱瞌睡的。
13、于是我出了门，心情像过节一样，却不知去哪里。
14、但是不久，三个贵夫人的谈话又开始了，有了这个“姑娘”（羊脂球）在场，他们突然变成了几乎是非常亲密的朋友。
15、绵绵不断的雪花织成了闪闪发亮的帷幕，徐徐向大地降落，它使万物模糊不清，给所有的'东西都蒙上了一层像泡沫一样的雪花。全城一片寂静，一切声响都被严冬埋葬了，只听见雪花落下时的窸窣之声，它微细不清，飘忽不定，与其说是声音，不如说是感觉，这细小轻微的动静，仿佛充塞了整个寰宇，覆盖了世界大地。
16、妇人们交头接耳压低了声音，而且讨论得普遍，每一个人发表了自己的见解。究竟那是很和身份的。尤其是为了说出最不顺口的事情，这些贵妇人都找着了种种玲珑的转折，种种巧妙的动人口吻。语言上戒备得真严，一个局外的人可以一点也不懂。不过那层给上流妇人做掩护的薄薄的羞耻之感只蒙着表面，所以她们在这种放纵的冒险之中都是心花怒放的，都是实在快活得发痴的，都觉得正对她们的劲儿，把爱情和欲望混在一块儿，好像一个馋嘴的厨子正给另一个人烹调肉汤一样。
17、无论是地震覆灭了整个民族，江河决口冲走落水的农民连带着牛的尸体和倒塌的梁柱，还是打了胜战的军人屠杀.俘虏那些自卫的人，又用刀神的名义实行抢劫并且用炮声向神灵表示谢意，都同样是让人恐惧的大灾难，同样破坏了我们对于永恒公理的信仰，破坏了我们对上帝的保佑和人类理性的依赖。
18、觉得面对着这个毫无羞耻地卖身的女人，她们应当把有夫之妇的尊严身份结成一个团体：因为法定爱情素来高出自由爱情的头上。
19、 整整的一夜，在过道的黑暗中间，如同战栗似地传出一阵阵的轻微声息，那是仅仅教人察觉得到的，像是一阵阵的呼吸声，一阵阵赤脚的触地声，一阵阵无从捉摸的摩擦声。
20、寒气一天比一天来得重了，像针刺一样严酷地扎着鼻子和耳朵，人的脚变成很痛苦的了，每走一步就要疼一下，后来走到了镇外，田野简直是一片白茫茫的，在他们眼里真凄惨得非常怕人，全体立刻转来了，心灵是冰凉的而心房是紧缩的。
Guy de Maupassant（18501893）， one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.
In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.
The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.
The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.
In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight，eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.
It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.
