P1 精析
句1 America was a melting pot, but Congress, terrified that the molten mixture was becoming a shade too yellow has banned all immigrants from China.
分析:America是一个大熔炉,有趣的是怕too yellow,所以排斥黄种人。可以用到culture shock、immigration的话题。
仿写:It has been known that America is a melting pot which have policies to protect the immigrants today, however, it had a dark history that the Congress banned all immigrants from Asia and Africa.
句2 The first afternoon, in his tiny whitewashed studio apartment, he marveled at how her body fit so perfectly against his: her nose nestled exactly into the hollow between his collarbones; her check curbed to match the side of his neck. As if they were halves of a mold.
分析:奇妙的比喻--halves of a mold,丰富的象征--fit so perfectly 不只是肉体还有后面两个灵魂的空洞,字的渲染--collarbones、side of neck,句的柔韧 --afternoon、apartment、bones押韵,文的肌理--嗯,后面写他如同sculptor研究她的身体,层层展开描述各种细节…
仿写:It must be a biological marvel that every girl's body fit perfectly with her partner. As if they were two halves of a mold.
句3 From where she stood on the riverbank, the distance made them anonymous, expressionless as dolls.
分析:父母这一对谈恋爱的时候就存在something I never told you,把可见的距离比喻成没有表情的娃娃,很感性。
仿写:Although having a thousand questions to ask, she finally chose to keep silence and close her courioty, just like an anonymous doll.
P2 复盘
1时间预计2h,实际完成2.5h。多出来的时间用来整理大学场景词汇,还算值得。
2上午效率低,预留10-12点给阅读,听来振奋自己,仿写作为过渡,下午专攻写作课程。中午12点打卡。
