5↑(49) Gu: On three methods of text interpretation in the evaluation of provincial excellent courses

A few days ago, I participated in the biennial evaluation and observation activities of provincial quality courses. The text source of this observation class is still the extracurricular reading materials selected by the provincial teaching and research section. The contestants prepare lessons in a limited time and draw lots for class. In the process of observation, the player's ability to interpret the text has been clearly demonstrated in teaching. After a brief summary, I found that there are several common methods of text interpretation in these lessons.

First, taste the repetition of words in the text.

There is an article called "The Man Who Break Up Because of Borrowing Books". Several teachers who participated in the competition grasped the words that appeared repeatedly in the article in the classroom demonstration, so as to interpret the text and design their own teaching. For example, someone grabbed the seventh sentence: "There is only a bamboo mat, a mattress, a quilt, a small table made of bricks and a pile of foreign documents on the ground." With five "ones", Li Mengxiong's bleak night scene and harsh living environment are repeatedly rendered. Let us feel that this great musician Li Mengxiong, despite the bleak evening scene, is so eye-catching in that pile of foreign literature. Material life is poor and spiritual life is rich.

At the beginning of the sixth section of the article, there is a sentence "but they broke up soon" and at the end, there is a sentence "They broke up for a borrowed book, which can be said to be true lovers." Two "surprises", the former should be unexpected meaning, expressing the author's surprise; The latter expression is more complicated. It not only expresses the author's surprise and surprise, but also expresses admiration and admiration for Xiong Aishu's heart.

For example, in the article "Bird Neighbor", the word "home" appears six times: once in the second section of section 1, once in the last section 1 and three times in the penultimate section. In fact, a careful analysis reveals that what the author wants to express is to give "home" a new concept: home is not a "home" with its own property rights based on whether or not it has bought a house; Home is a kind of tolerance, respect, optimism, understanding, happiness and warmth. Although there is a little sadness or even helplessness between the lines, the emotions and thoughts expressed are optimistic and positive.

Therefore, the repetition of words in the article must have secrets. This is also a starting point for text interpretation.

Second, taste the hints in the text.

The thoughts and feelings that the author wants to express are often expressed through the twists and turns of something. It is often expressed by hints. For example, the article Pocket Bookstore, in the second section, wrote "The bookstore is really small" and described the layout, furnishings and characteristics of the bookstore. It is so warm, bright and elegant. In fact, it is a metaphor for the host's low-key, modest, elegant and noble conduct.

Another example is the article "Bird Neighbor". At the end of the article, it says, "Birds grew up here and never bought an inch of land for their homes." Obviously, it implies whether we humans have a happy home, which is not directly related to whether we buy or rent a house, and interprets the connotation of real "home".

The article "The Man Who Broke Up Because of Borrowing Books" wrote that when Li Mengxiong saw the English version of The Complete Works of Ye Zhi sent by Mu Xin's niece, he "called in the middle of the night and said that the book was lost." Midnight obviously implies that the book is not lost. Only Li Mengxiong read a book in the middle of the night. The more he read, the more interested he became. He thinks this book is too good. Out of love for books, he didn't want to return them, so he told such a lie.

There are seemingly contradictory places in many texts, which actually imply the author's feelings and euphemistically express the author's thoughts.

Third, taste the contrast in the text.

Good articles often have contrast, and all writers are masters of using contrast. In the process of text interpretation, we should be good at grasping the author's contrast and grasping what the author really wants to say through comparative analysis.

For example, in the article "Little Flag", my friend likes dogs and I like cats, which is essentially to express their different life concepts and philosophies. So the author said, "We are likely to get lost slowly." Use this contrast to express the author's life view of kindness, equality, freedom, care and respect for life.

Another example is the article Pocket Bookstore, which compares the prosperity of Hong Kong with a "small" bookstore. "Pocket" is a reference. Although small, it is rich in connotation and profound in meaning. It is a place where Hong Kong scholars are famous for their culture, where their spirit and soul are placed, and it is worthy of every scholar's possession.

In the comparison of texts, the author's real intention is hidden. We should experience the true feelings expressed by the author through comparative analysis.

Of course, there are many ways to interpret the text. Here, I just briefly summarize from the classroom observation of these lessons.
