Pinocchio

by Lu Mengjie  Jiangyin No.1 Junior High School

一、文本分析：

What：本文节选自课外阅读刊物《英语阅读精选》第一辑，原著为The Adventures of Pinocchio，是一部脍炙人口的意大利著名童话，是一本图文并茂、语言诙谐有趣，通俗易懂的童话书。本文章通过一系列扣人心弦的情节：匹诺曹的鼻子一说谎就会变长；孩子会因为贪玩变成驴子；还有那位永远不放弃对孩子的希望，有着天蓝色头发的仙女……能让同学们体验到匹诺曹成长的喜怒哀乐，从变化无常的生活中，明白了许多浅显而意义深刻的道理。

How：故事情节和语言对学生而言难度不大。虽然有丰富的句型，部分生词，但是学生应该也能大致猜测出句子含义，从而掌握故事的来龙去脉。从写作手法上来看，这是一个很标准的童话故事，背景，开端，发展，高潮和结尾都设置得非常清晰明了，而且还设计了三个冲突对比，学生必须读懂人物的内心感受才能真正理解成长的意义。

Why:作者意欲揭示的道理并不复杂，它倚借一个木偶的形象，不过是为了向我们演绎一个人由不完美走向完美、由不幸福走向幸福的曲折历程。这篇童话，通过皮诺曹的种种曲折、离奇的经历，表现小木偶热爱正义、痛恨邪恶、天真纯洁的品质，教育儿童要抵御种种诱惑，做一个诚实、听话、爱学习、爱劳动，并能帮助父母的好孩子。作者成功地塑造了小木偶的形象。他聪明、善良、顽皮而又任性，他的故事给孩子们以有益的教诲和艺术的感染。
