Many years ago, there was an emperor who spent all his money to dress beautifully. He doesn't care about his army. He doesn't like going to the theater or going to the park by carriage-unless it's to show off his new clothes. He changes a suit every hour every day. When people mention him, they always say, "The emperor is in the dressing room."
Remarks: "I don't hesitate" shows that the emperor squandered the people's cream in order to wear new clothes; "neither … nor unless …" wrote that he was more concerned about new clothes than the army and other activities.
Anyone who is incompetent or hopelessly stupid can't see this dress.
Note: This sentence plays a key role in the development of the story. "Strange features" is the main line of the whole paper. The author unfolds the plot, arranges the materials and depicts the characters around this main line.
The whole city has heard about the magical power of this cloth, so everyone is eager to take this opportunity to test how stupid their neighbors are. ?
Remarks: I wrote the thoughts of the whole city, which laid the groundwork for the cheers and lies of the people below.
I will send my honest old minister to the weaver. The emperor thought, "He can see what this cloth looks like best, because he is rational, so no one is as good as him." ?
Note: To say "honesty" means dishonesty, and the author uses irony here.
Original text: "Well, we are glad to hear this news." The two swindlers said in unison. So they described colors and rare patterns and added some nouns. The old minister listened attentively so that he could recite it to the emperor. In fact, he did the same. ?
Remarks: "Listening" and "reading" show the honesty and kindness of the old minister, which is extremely hypocritical and ugly.
Original: What is this? "The emperor thought," I didn't see anything! This is shocking. Am I a stupid person? Am I not qualified to be emperor? This is the most terrible. " "Oh, how beautiful!" The emperor said, "I am very satisfied! " " ?
Remarks: The rhetorical questions "Don't" not only express the emperor's fear, but also his pride.
Extended data
The Emperor's New Clothes is a fairy tale created by Danish fairy tale writer Andersen, and it is one of his representative works.
This fairy tale was tricked by two swindlers through a stupid emperor, dressed in invisible new clothes and held a military parade naked, which profoundly exposed the ugly nature of the emperor's fatuity and the hypocrisy, treachery and stupidity of officials. Praise the childlike innocence of being selfless and fearless and daring to reveal the truth.
The Emperor's New Clothes was originally transplanted from medieval Spanish folktales. Spanish writer Cervantes also used this material in his plays.
At the end of the story, the king walked naked in front of his courtiers and the whole city, and everyone was silent. When Andersen rewrote it, he finally asked a child to shout out the truth that he was naked. ?
There are extravagant and fatuous emperors, hypocritical and stupid ministers, glib liars and parrots in the story. For their performances, the author has colorful and vivid descriptions, but he can't see the curse of screaming, grief and indignation; His satire is not exposure, criticism and obvious pain, but humor and lightness.
He laughed at the stupidity of the emperor, the flattery of ministers, and the obedience of onlookers. However, this ridicule does not contain hostility and contempt, but is full of kindness and warmth. He seems to admire, not resent, all the people who appear and what happens. The bad guys, villains and even liars have never been punished from beginning to end.
Its satirical humor is not spicy, full of warmth and not "heartless", and there is no preaching full of moral superiority. The Emperor's New Clothes expresses the impression of "adult" and reproduces the "deep loss of self" behind "vanity", which is an inherent and universal weakness of human beings and a mirror of life provided by Andersen.
It is true that such human weakness is universal and transcends status and class. Andersen really knows the weakness of human nature. He asked the emperor, ministers and people to help the scam land safely.
He "told an imaginary story in the form of dialogue with dramatic liveliness", not simply because he "satirized the ugly nature of feudal rulers", but because he frankly taught adults a lesson on human weakness and warmth.
