The Awakening 片段赏析二
Another piece called to her mind a dainty young woman clad in an Empire gown, taking mincing dancing steps as she came down a long avenue between tall hedges. Again, another reminded her of children at play, and still another of nothing on earth but a demure lady stroking a cat.
The very first chords which Mademoiselle Reisz struck upon the piano sent a keen tremor down Mrs. Pontellier's spinal column. It was not the first time she had heard an artist at the piano. Perhaps it was the first time she was ready, perhaps the first time her being was tempered to take an impress of the abiding truth.
She waited for the material pictures which she thought would gather and blaze before her imagination. She waited in vain. She saw no pictures of solitude, of hope, of longing, or of despair. But the very passions themselves were aroused within her soul, swaying it, lashing it, as the waves daily beat upon her splendid body. She trembled, she was choking, and the tears blinded her.
赏析：
另一首曲子让她想到了一个穿着礼服的年轻女子,迈着小舞步缓缓地从树篱小道走来。再有一首使她想到了在玩耍的孩子,还有一首让她想到了荒芜的地球上只有一位端庄的女士在抚摸着一只猫的场景。
当莱兹小姐在钢琴键上敲出第一个和弦时，庞德烈太太强烈的震颤了一下。这不是她第一次听一个艺术家在弹钢琴。但也许这是第一次她准备好,第一次温和地接受内心的渴望。
她等待着其他的画面映入脑海。然而她什么都没等到。她没有看到孤独，绝望，希望，渴望等画面。但这些情愫本身却环绕在她的灵魂里被激发出来，如海浪般摇曳着，鞭打着她的身体。她颤抖着仿佛快要窒息，眼泪模糊了她的双眼。
