众文网1.要写一篇关于<荆棘鸟>的英语毕业论文,哪里与关于这部小说的较多
在阅读速度20几万字/天的时候，《荆棘鸟》我读了一个月。不是她艰涩，而是舍不得，舍不得那么快就翻到最后一页，是害怕--害怕读完之后，很长一段时间的失落。
读中文系是挺惭愧的一件事，高中不爱读“世界名著”，换言之，就是中文非其母语的作家写出来的文字，虽然让我读的也不是他的母语文字，但就这么翻译过来翻译过去的一折腾，我觉得就丢掉了语言最美丽的那部分。遂名正言顺般地将“外国小说名著”束之高阁。
翻开《荆棘鸟》，扉页上的那段文字打破了我--只有汉字是最富韵律的文字--的观念！虽然我看见的依然是方块字，虽然它出于一个译著水平极高的作家，但学过语言的人都明白，翻译是锦上添花，不是无中生有，没有原文如此的精彩，一定不会出现我们看到的万语千言。
同样表达对译者最深切的崇敬！书是作家的孩子，对于原著是，对于译著依然是。曾胡是我欣赏的翻译家之一，对于英文的把握，对于两种不同语言文化背景的了解，对于中文的熟稔，使得《荆棘鸟》有如鲲鹏展翅。
在此收录译者对作品的留言，字里行间可见功夫！
荆棘鸟 译余剩语
吁噫嘻伤哉！此书译成付梓，竟几历十载，诚始料所未及耳。白驹过隙，韶光易逝，斯验矣；此其可伤者一。杀青之初，即投诸某社，答曰：“可”，谓不余欺！然则一延再宕，终至泥牛入海，其间幽深曲折，言之鼻酸，余雅不欲披陈沥数；此其可伤者二。有此二伤，夫复何言！所幸者，赖李君文合鼎力赞襄，遂使五十万言汗浆之劳，得酬世人，此余所以铭于五内者也，第樗栎之文，非敢拟于杨意韩荆之赏，惟余心感焉。
盖译事之难首推信，不信则愈雅愈荒唐。余观夫迩来译作，强作解人者易可胜数。子曰：“不如为不知”，然不知者惟以弥缝译文为能事，窈窕之章，阅之悦焉，而我囗诸原作，竟满纸荒唐言！此时下舌人之大病耳。余弄兹道有年矣，胼胝而作，虽匪敢自誉信笔，然临事而惧，拳拳此心，宁有稍懈。质之同道中人，冀其勉哉。
陈亦君者，余老友也。畴昔携手，囗译哈代氏之《远离尘嚣》等作品五部，而此书之前十万言，亦经其斧削，谨此注明。人生睽离，有跬步霄壤者，有天涯比邻者；今陈君远之香港，谋面几稀，然忆昔清夜奋笔，共耕译田，砥砺琢磨，衣带同宽，此得非天涯比邻之谊耶？遥望南天，不胜感怀。夜寒料峭，星汉阑干，不能自己，是以为记。

The Thorn Birds
It is said there is a kind of birds named the thorn birds. They only sing once in their lives. But the sound of singing is the most wonderful in the world. When they leave their nests, they will look for the thistles and thorns. And they don't give up till they find them. At last they thorn their chests with the longest and sharpest thorns. Then they sing the most beautiful songs at the great cost of life. But they must endure hardships to do all these.
I think we are like the thorn birds. We also have our own dreams like the best sound of singing. We should do our best to make our dreams come true like the thorn birds, too.

The Thorn Birds, is a very well written story about a family living in a poorer section of New Zealand whose livelihood is shearing sheep. The money for the family depends almost solely on the sheep. In the family, there is Padraic Cleary (Paddy), the father of the clan. He is a likable man who commands respect from his children and from those who know him. His wife, Fiona Cleary (Fee), is a woman with a past who loves her children, respects her husband but is living in a world that she did not want, but accepted it as her only possible way of life. Then there are Fee and Paddy's children, Frank, Meghann (Meggie), Hughie, Jack, Stuart (Stu), Bob, and the twins, Jims and Patsy, but the story revolves almost entirely around their only girl, Meggie. When Meggie was about 10 years old, Paddy's older sister, Mary Carson, beckoned Paddy to come work for her on her very large, very wealthy ranch in New South Wales, Australia, Drogheda. The family fell in love with Drogheda, even though they had to put up with drought, fire, and a climate that they were not used to. The boys in the family lived for Drogheda, and were the main work force of the ranch, herding sheep and cattle from one paddock to another, and working very hard during the most profitable time of the year, the shearing season, and the most hectic, the lambing season. Paddy was an immigrant from Ireland to New Zealand and was a devout Catholic, along with most Australians. Upon arriving to Drogheda, the Cleary family met Father Ralph, a friend of Mary Carson, a constant visitor to Drogheda, and the local priest of the closest town to Drogheda, Gillabon. The rest of the story rotates around the relationship between Father Ralph who later became Bishop Ralph and finally, Cardinal Ralph, and Meggie. The Cleary family lived through one of the worst droughts in Australia, and the terrible fire that followed, destroying most of Drogheda's outer pastures and killing Paddy, and Stuart in the process. They also had to deal with the problem of rabbits. The rabbits were foreigners to Australia, and once introduced, reproduced out of control due to the fact that there were no natural predators in Australia to kill them. The rabbits, along with the kangaroos, were devouring most of Drogheda's grazing land. Through it all though, Drogheda remained a constant source of pleasure and money for the Cleary family. Meggie had two children, Justine and Dane. Both very different in personality, and in looks. Meggie marries a shearer turned stockman fo Drogheda, Luke O'Neill, and from their marriage, Justine was born. Dane was from another man, but, the father, nor Dane or Justine knew who it was, only Fee and Meggie knew that secret. The author of Thorn Birds, Colleen McCullough, is a highly talented writer. Throughout the novel, she describes the scenery with much detail. She should be an expert on the topic, since New South Wales, Australia is her home. The detail and description of the people and the places, which she goes deeply into, makes the reader feel as if she is actually experiencing the same things as the characters. She goes explains throughly as to how Drogheda is managed and how it looks. Mrs. McCullough definitely knows what she's talking about and her writing shows it. For work with the sheep never, never ended; as one job finished it became time for another. They were mustered and graded, moved from one paddock to another, bred and unbred, shorn and crutched, dipped and drenched, slaughtered and shipped off to be sold. Drogheda carried about a thousand head of prime beef cattle as well as its sheep, but sheep were far more profitable, so in good times Drogheda carried about one sheep for every two acres of its land, or about 125,000 altogether. Being merinos, they were never sold for meat; at the end of a merino's wool-producing years it was shipped off to become skins, lanolin, tallow and glue, useful only to the tanneries and the knackeries. Mrs. McCullough's purpose for writing The Thorn Birds is not entirely clear. She could have written the book to tell about the ways of the Australian people like the outback stockmen. She could have intended to explain what life in Australia is really like, the climate, the animals, etc. Another alternative is that she could have written this novel to talk about the Catholic Church and how man's desires are no match for an institution like the Church, or try to describe how the Church really works. All of these topics are present in her story and her points for each came across strongly and clearly. The reader learns that Father Ralph becomes。

Through the twists and turns of the love story between the heroine Maggie with Father Ralph, shaping an image of a love faithful woman who is bold in pursuing a dedication of love and striving for the right to own love, thereby embodies women to be independent of their own love。
On the one hand, through Maggie's self-selection and self-decision of love, it fully embodies that female is no longer synonymous with "fragile", when self-consciousness is awakened, it brought along an irresistible force。 On the other hand, through Maggie's search for true love and even protest against religious, through courage and costs in exchange for true love, through action to recover woman's self-esteem for love, it is and inspiration of self-esteem for love and self-consciousness for modern women。

9.跪求对荆棘鸟任意一个细节的看法要英文的（字数越多越好
我毕业论文写的是这个，我给你找一段吧~这个是写拉尔夫在爱情和野心之间的挣扎~2.2.1 Struggle between love and ambition.Ralph is a man full of contradiction. On one hand, he was brought up from his cradle to be a priest, he shows eagerness on church and he gives up every ambition ,every desire for the chance in order to be a perfect priest. On the other hand, he does doubt about the existence of God and feels empty at times. he wanders through divinity and humanity, lingers between ambition and love all the time. The weakness and hypocrisy in Ralph's humanity finally denies his divinity.It is clear that a priest could not love money and power according to the doctrine of the Catholicism. But the so-called perfect priest does show his interest in power and money, during his whole priesthood, he broke all his three vows. For example, Mary Carson died and left him her will, at that time he decided to “use the 13 million pound as the chance to get out of Gillanbone and perpetual obscurity, and the chance to take his place within the hierarchy of Church administration, the assured goodwill of his peers and superiors”( Zhou Xiaobo, 2002: 218).because of his decision, he breaks his vow of poverty. At the same time, Maggie's love is crushed beneath the heel of his ambition. in other words, his desire for power beats Maggie's love.During all his life, he has to strugle hard for the hierarchy of Church administration and the love of Maggie.but he never deals well with them.it is for the church “he forsakes Maggie and will always forsake her”(Zhou Xiaobo, 2002: 402), but later after their vacation on the island, he begins to doubt God as a trick, a phantom, a jest and admits that he loves Maggie far more than that he loves the God.but he still doesn't want to give up his position in church, all these facts show his hypocrisy both on love and belief.It is sure that Ralph loves Maggie deeply. He saw something on Maggie the first time he met her, which never left off enchanting him. he did many things to protect her. as she was a young girl, he spent as much of his company as he could to take care of her.each time, he would be the first one to know Maggie's mood.when she grows up, he has to keep some distance with her, but he still fix his eyes on her.he carefully keeps the rose given by Maggie and he refuses repent of Maggie because he thought it would be to murder her.Even though Maggie is a benediction, a holy thing to him, a different kind of sacrament in his mind, Ralph still puts his heart on Church. As Maggie says that there is a streak of Samson in every man. He believes that needing a woman is a weakness, and Ralph is one of these men. Ralph realises how much he loves Maggie, but he is so stubborn that his heart is set on being a perfect priest, more than the importance of Maggie.
