第 4 段

1.I'm glad you like it.

我很高兴你喜欢这本书。

2.Most of Joyce's work is very complex. A lot of students say that he is hard to understand.【1态度】

乔爱思的大部分作品都比较复杂。大部分学生都很难理解。

3.Normally, you wouldn't tackle Joyce in an Intro class, but I'd like to give my first year students a taste of his style, his psychological approach to literature, because... mainly because it influenced other writers.

一帮情况下都不会在简介课中介绍他的作品。但是我想让大一的学生感受一下他的风格。主要是由于他的心理描述法影响了其他的作者。

4.I only wish we had more class time to discuss it.

我只希望我们有更多的课堂时间来对此进行讨论。

第 5 段

1.Me too. So why did you pick Araby instead of some other story?【1选择Araby的理由】

我也是，你为什么要选择《阿拉伯》而不是其他故事呢？

第 6 段

1.Well, um, first you should know that Araby is one of fifteen short stories by Joyce in a book called Dubliners.

首先你要知道，《阿拉伯》是乔爱思的短篇小说集《都柏林人》十五篇中的一篇。

2.Uh, all the stories are related to one another, and they are set in the same time period.

这些故事都有所联系，他们都发生在同一时期。

3.But Araby is the easiest one to follow.【2解释了原因】

《阿拉伯》是最容易理解的。

4.Though all the stories in the collection are written in stream of consciousness, which as you know, means they are told through the narrator's thought, (并列)through an inner monologue, as opposed to dialogue or an objective description of events.

这本合集中的故事都是用意识流的手法写的。意识流就是通过描述者的思维，内心的独白，而不是用对话或对事物的客观的描述。

5.But Araby is easier because it's linear, the story unfold chronologically.【2强调了原因】

但是《阿拉伯》是线性描述法，故事情节按年代展开。

那真是一个好机会啊，用一整个学期来深入研究一个作者的作品。

3.And my students, they bring so much insight to the table that it's easy to forget who the professor is.
