【赏析】

如果找三个词来串联本章节的话，那就是helplessness， nostalgia和shock。

Winston 发现一位老人，想要通过他来了解过去的历史，结果却是差强人意，并没有得到想要的信息。A sense of helplessness took hold of Winston .The old man’s memory was nothing but a rubbish-heap of details…..they were like the ant ,which can see small objects but not large ones . 眼光如同蝼蚁，所及甚微啊。

倒是在杂货铺里，和店主的交谈中，发现了不少历史的旧物件，勾起了Winston的怀旧情绪。The room had awakened in him a sort of nostalgia, a sort of ancestral memory ….one could not learn history from architecture any more than one could learn it from books. Statues ,inscriptions , memorial stones , the names of streets –anything that might throw light upon the past had been systematically altered.承载历史的建筑、书籍、雕像、石刻大多早已销毁，只剩下统治阶级篡改的历史课本。在杂货店看到的东西，让Winston心生欢喜，似乎只有在这里，才能从这些旧物件上找到历史的痕迹，所以期盼着下次再来，买了那幅画，和Mr.Charrington再聊聊那首诗。Yes, he thought again, he would come back; he would buy further scraps of beautiful rubbish.

从杂货店出来，顿时惊出一身冷汗，竟然碰见篡改部门工作的一个女孩.Suddenly his heart seemed to turn to ice and his bowels to water. 心中万般惊吓，甚至冒出灭口的念头，直到后来的种种后怕，担心被抓，甚至设想承认“思想犯”要受到的种种折磨。
