Possible version 1
After a few minutes, I thanked Mr. Dan for spending a bit of his day with us. He teared up and said (神态和动作描写), “No, thank you. This has been the best day I’ve had in a long time.” With a kindly and good-humored spirit(神态和动作描写), he turned to my daughter. “You’ve made me so happy, Miss Norah.” They gave each other a loving hug(神态和动作描写)and Norah watched him until he was out of view. I was blown away by this meeting and posted the story and a photo of them on my Facebook. Later that night, I received a private message, from which I learned that Mr. Dan’s wife, Mary, had passed away six months earlier, and he had been lonely and depressed since his beloved had gone. I asked for Mr. Dan’s phone number and called him a few days later.
Possible version 1
A few days later, we visited Mr. Dan’s tidy house. We spent nearly three hours with him that day. He was patient and kind with my talkative, constantly moving girl. Norah asks about Mr. Dan every day. She wants him to be OK and feel loved. Mr. Dan thinks about Norah too. After another recent visit, he told me that he had slept soundly every night since meeting my girl. “Norah has healed me,” he said. That left me speechless(神态及动作描写) and my cheeks wet with tears(神态及动作描写). Seventy-eight years separate these two people in age. Somehow, their hearts and souls seem to recognize each other from long ago.
评点:这篇文章对于人物喜乐的描写不多,但出现的地方都恰到好处地推动着情节的发展。实际上,文中小女孩Norah的父亲和老人Dan的喜乐情绪中都夹杂着感动,是一种混合的情感(mixed feelings)。如老人流泪感谢父女俩陪他度过的快乐时光,显示了老人既开心又感动的心情;而当他感谢小女孩Norah时,老人是和蔼愉悦的。这些描写符合老人面对一位成年人和一位小孩时不同的情绪表现,老人的形象立刻就丰满起来了。而故事的结尾处,小女孩的父亲被女儿和老人之间的感情而感动,因此感动地流泪。从旁观者的角度进一步凸显了文章的主题:爱会融化人的心。
Possible version 2
After a few minutes, I thanked Mr. Dan for spending a bit of his day with us. He teared up and said (神态及动作描写), “No, thank you. This has been the best day I’ve had in a long time.” After a moment’s silence, he muttered, seemed to speak to himself, “Actually I hadn’t felt so relaxed and pleasing (神态及动作描写)since my wife Mary had passed away six months earlier.” The smile on his face shone like a diamond(神态及动作描写). I was certain Dan’s heart was touched by my little girl, that he needed that connection and likely would never forget it. So I asked for his phone number and address and arranged to take Norah to see him sometime. He turned to my daughter then, “You’ve made me so happy, Miss Norah.” They hugged and we walked away. Norah watched him until he was out of view. I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a weepy mess after their encounter.
A few days later, we visited Mr. Dan’s tidy house. Reminders of Mary still proudly displayed everywhere. He had gotten a haircut, shaved, and put on slacks and dress shoes. He looked ten years younger. He’d set out a child’s table, blank paper, and crayons for my little girl. He asked if she’d draw some pictures for him to display on his refrigerator. Norah excitedly agreed and went right to work. We ended up spending nearly three hours with Mr. Dan that day. Norah asks about Mr. Dan every day. She wants him to be OK and feel loved. Mr. Dan thinks about Norah too. After another recent visit, he told me that he had slept soundly every night since meeting my girl. “Norah has healed me,” he said. That left me speechless and my cheeks wet with tears. Seventy-eight years separate these two people in age. Somehow, their hearts and souls seem to recognize each other from long ago.
评点:第一段中老人说的简短的一句话,“自从妻子去世后好久都没这么放松和开心过了”并且脸上的微笑如钻石般闪耀,此处的人物喜乐情绪描写把老人Dan开心激动又深受感动的心情刻画地非常到位,对于故事后续的发展起到了推波助澜的作用。第二段中,excitedly agreed恰当地表现出了小女孩Norah作为一个四岁小孩子非常天真又单纯的开心情绪,对于刻画人物的形象起到了点睛之笔的作用。
