A Comparative Reading of the Classical Chinese "On Snake Catchers" in the Senior High School Entrance Examination

General Jiao Lingchan in Jingxing took dozens of hectares of land for himself and distributed it to farmers. He said, "When it's ripe, it's mine." Another year of drought, there is no grass in the wild, farmers can tell you.

Chen said, "I know how to make a living, but I don't know about drought." If the supervisor is in a hurry, the farmers will starve to death. Without compensation, it is Qiu.

Qiu's sentence is very harsh, which makes people ask for advice. Chen was very angry. He called the farmer and said, "I'm afraid of Duan." How dare you talk about me! "Put the sentence ⑤ on your back, hit twenty with a stick, die, and go to court.

Qiu cried, "I hurt you!" " "Is to wash water to blood, his clothes all landowners sore, hand injection of good medicine, feed farmers all day, and then eat. I don't know if I sell the horse and pay for it.

7. Translation of the first volume of the ninth grade Chinese book "On Snake Catchers"

There is a strange snake that grows in the wild in Yongzhou. It has a black background and a white pattern. The snake touched the vegetation and all the vegetation withered and died; If you bite a person, there is no way to resist a poisonous snake. But after catching and drying in the sun, it can be made into medicinal bait, which can be used to treat diseases such as strong wind, spasm, fistula and boils. It can also remove necrotic muscles and kill parasites in the human body. At that time, the Emperor Cure Too much ordered the collection of this snake twice a year to recruit people who could catch this snake to offset their taxes. People in Yongzhou are scrambling to do it.

There is a family named Jiang, and three generations enjoy the benefits of tax deduction for catching snakes. I asked him, and I said, "My grandfather died because of catching snakes, and so did my father. Now I have been doing this job for 12 years, and I almost died several times. " When he said this, his face was sad.

I felt sorry for him and said, "Do you hate this job? I'll tell the magistrate to change your job and restore your taxes. How about it? "

Jiang was very sad and said with tears in his eyes, "You pity me and want me to live?" Then the misfortune of my work is not as bad as the misfortune of resuming the lease. If I don't do this job, I will get into trouble. Three generations of my family have lived in this place for 60 years, but the life of our neighbors is getting worse every day. They took away all the products produced on their land and all the family income (paying the rent is still not enough), so they had to flee in tears. They were hungry and thirsty, and (along the way) they braved the storm, cold and heat, breathing toxic epidemics. My grandfather and I used to live here, but now there is not one left in ten families. Now less than two or three of the ten families live with their fathers; There are less than four or five households in ten households who have lived with me for twelve years. Those families are either dead or have moved away. But because of catching snakes, I survived. Violent officials came to my hometown and harassed and cursed everywhere. The noisy appearance disturbs the tranquility of the countryside, and even makes chickens and dogs restless. At this time, I got up carefully and looked at my crock. My snake was still there, so I lay down safely. I carefully fed the snake and offered it on the appointed day. After returning home, I spent the rest of my life eating things produced in the field with relish. It is estimated that you only die twice a year, and you can live happily the rest of the time. How can my neighbor be in danger every day! Now even if I die in this job, how can I hate it (catching snakes) compared with my neighbors who died behind me? "

The more I listen to it, the more sad it becomes. Confucius said, "Cruel rule is fiercer than tiger!" I once doubted this sentence, and now it is really credible from what happened to Jiang. Alas! Who knows that the poison of exorbitant taxes is worse than this poisonous snake! So I wrote this article, hoping that those who (sent by the imperial court) inspect the people's feelings can get some facts about the people's feelings from here.

Hope to adopt!

8. How does the article Snake Catcher use contrast and contrast to highlight the theme of "happiness"?

What is written in the article is the content and accumulation of poisonous snakes. The main purpose of writing poisonous snakes is to highlight the accumulation of poison through comparison.

For example, in paragraph 1, the author focuses on the toxicity of poisonous snakes and the risk of catching snakes, but because giving snakes can replace paying rent tax, Yongzhou people compete to catch poisonous snakes. Through this comparison, the theme of "the poison of lotus is a snake" is implied.

In the fourth paragraph, in order to explain that "the misfortune of our service is not as bad as my gift", the author makes a series of comparisons between catching snakes and paying taxes. For example, it is written that villagers are cornered by taxes and "the dead borrow from each other" everywhere, while Jiang can "catch snakes and live alone"

Neighbors were scolded and harassed by fierce officials who imposed taxes, and they were "stunned and frightened" and fidgeted; However, the Chiang family can still "lie down", "be in high spirits" and "eat whatever is in the soil". Neighbors were tortured, and Jiang's "one-year-old crime of death" was only twice.

Paying taxes or catching snakes is a dead end in the end, but Jiang can die after his neighbors who pay rent for catching snakes. Through concrete comparison, the theme of "the poison of lotus is a snake" is strongly highlighted.

9. The Snake Catcher translated and read the answers. The snake catcher originally said that Liu Zongyuan's Yongzhou wild snake was different.

Black and white seal; Die of touching grass; To bite, there is no defense. However, if wax is used as bait, there may be strong winds, spasms, fistulas and boils, killing muscles and killing three insects.

At the beginning, the imperial doctor was ordered by the king to be compiled. At the age of 20, he gave it to the second one, and everything he could catch was recruited and rented. People are always struggling to run.

Those who owned the Chiang family all died for the benefit of III. When asked, he said, "My dad is dead, and so is my dad.

I've been an heir for twelve years now. How many people have died? "If it is said, looks very neat.

I said sadly, "What if it is poisonous? I will tell the people present, if I serve, if I am given something? " The relatives of the Chiang family cried and said, "Will you be born with sadness? Then our service is unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate not to reply to my fu. If you don't serve me, you will be ill for a long time.

Since I lived in my hometown for the third time, I am 60 years old today. My neighbor is sad on his birthday, and when he runs out of space, he arrives at home, shouting for a change, and he is in a daze with hunger. Touch the wind and rain, make the cold hot, shout hiss, often the dead lend each other.

People who live with my ancestors have no room today; The people who live with my father are all in the room today; Those who have lived with me for twelve years have nothing to do with it today. Die or move.

And I live by catching snakes alone. Fierce officials came to my hometown, clamoring for things, running north and south; Those who are stunned and frightened, although they are restless.

I stood up and looked at it, while my snake was still lying. Eat it and sometimes offer it.

The next best thing is to eat the things in the soil, so as to do the best. Cover the crime of the deceased being one year old; The rest, they are happy.

If my neighbor's Dandan is true! Although this is the death, it is later than my neighbor's death. How dare you poison me? The more I listen to it, the more sad it becomes. Confucius said, "tyranny is fiercer than tiger." I doubt it, but I still believe Jiang's point of view.

Oh! Who knows that Fu Lian's poison is very snake! Therefore, it is necessary for husband to observe people. A strange snake grows in the countryside of Yongzhou, with black skin and white stripes, and all the vegetation it touches dies; If you bite someone, there is no way to resist.

However, it can be caught and air-dried to make medicinal bait, which can treat malignant diseases such as strong wind, contracture, fistula and boils. It can also remove necrotic muscles and kill parasites in the human body. At first, Emperor Tai Yi ordered the collection of this snake twice a year to recruit people who could catch it, and they could use snakes to offset their taxes.

People in Yongzhou are scrambling to do this job. There is a family named Jiang, and three generations of the family enjoy this welfare exclusively.

I asked him about it, and he said, "My grandfather caught snakes and so did my father. Now I have inherited this job for twelve years, and I almost died several times. "

He looked sad when he said these words. I pitied him and said, "Do you hate this job? I'll tell the official in charge to change your job and restore your rent. What do you think? " Jiang was even sadder and said with tears, "Do you want to have pity on me and let me live? Then I tell you, the misfortune of this job is far less than the misfortune of restoring the lease.

If I hadn't done this job before, I would be in trouble. My family has lived in this village for sixty years.

In the past 60 years, the life of neighbors has become more and more difficult, all the crops in the fields have been squeezed dry, and all the income at home has been exhausted. They want to cry and migrate, hungry and forced to fall to the ground, braving the storm, braving the cold and heat, breathing toxic epidemic gas, and often people die one after another. The number of families who used to live with my grandfather is now less than one tenth; Now less than two or three of the ten families live with their fathers; There are less than four or five households in ten households who have lived with me for twelve years.

Those families are either dead or have moved away. However, I survived by catching snakes alone.

Violent officials came to our place, shouting everywhere, harassing and destroying the arena everywhere, and being aggressive and terrified at the village. Even the chickens and dogs are restless. I'm worried. I looked at my crock. The snake was still inside, so I lay down.

I will feed the snake carefully and then send it to the monarch. After returning home, I ate the things produced in the field with relish and came to live my life.

In fact, the risk of death is only twice a year; I can live happily for the rest of the time. How can my neighbor be in danger of death every day! Now even if I die in this job, it will be too late compared with those dead neighbors. How can I hate this job? "I listened to his words more sad.
