Sang Na, the fisherman's wife, sat by the fire to mend a broken sail. The cold wind roared outside, and the rough waves beat against the coast and splashed. There is a storm on the sea, and it is dark and cold outside, but this fisherman's hut is warm and comfortable. The ground has been swept clean, the fire in the stove has not been extinguished, and the tableware is shining on the shelf. On the bed with white curtains, five children fell asleep quietly in the sea breeze. My husband went out to sea in a boat early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Sang Na listened to the roar of the waves and the roar of the wind, feeling jumpy.
The old clock struck dumb ten times, but her husband didn't come back at eleven. Sang Na mused: Her husband braved the cold and storm to fish regardless of his health, and she worked from morning till night to barely fill her stomach. Children have no shoes to wear, running around barefoot in winter and summer; I ate brown bread and only fish. But, thank God, the children are still healthy. There is nothing to complain about. Sang Na listened to the sound of the storm. Where is he now? God, bless him, save him, have mercy! ? She said to herself and drew a cross on her chest.
It's still early for bed. Sauna stood up, wrapped in a thick scarf on her head, and went out with a lantern. She wanted to see if the light on the lighthouse was on and if she could see her husband's boat. Nothing can be seen at sea. The wind lifted her scarf, rolled up the scraped things and knocked on the door of the neighbor's cabin. Sang Na remembered the sick neighbor he was going to visit in the evening. ? Nobody takes care of her! ? Sang Na thought and knocked on the door. She listened sideways, but no one answered.
? How hard life is for a widow! ? Sang Na stood at the door and thought,? Although there are only two children, she is the only one to raise them, and now she is ill. Alas, the widow's life is really sad! Go in and have a look! ?
Sang Na knocked on the door again and again, but no one answered.
? Hey Simon. ? Sang Na let out a cry and thought, unless what's the matter? She flung the door open.
There is no stove in the room, it is wet and cold. Sang Na raised his lantern to see where the patient was. The first thing that caught my eye was a bed facing the door, and her female neighbor was lying on her back. She didn't move. Sang Na held the lantern closer. Yes, it is Simon. She leaned her head back, her cold and blue face showed the silence of death, and a pale and stiff hand hung on the straw bed as if trying to catch something. Next to the dead mother, two very young children fell asleep, both with curly hair and round faces, covered with old clothes, curled up, and their small heads with light yellow hair clung together. Apparently, when her mother died, she covered them with her own clothes and wrapped their feet with an old headscarf. The children breathed evenly and calmly, and they slept soundly.
Sang Na wrapped the sleeping child in a headscarf and carried it home. Her heart beat so violently that she didn't know why she did it, but she felt she had to. She put two sleeping children on the bed, let them sleep with their own children, and quickly closed the curtains.
Sang Na was pale and excited. She thought nervously, what will he say? Is this a joke? It is enough for him to have five children. Is he here? No, not yet! Why did you bring them here? He'll hit me! I deserve it. I deserve it. All right, beat me up! ?
The door creaked as if someone had come in. Sang Na a surprised, stood up from his chair.
? No, nobody! God, why would I do that? What am I supposed to tell him now? Sang Na mused and sat in front of the bed for a long time.
The door suddenly opened and a fresh sea breeze rushed into the room. The big, black fisherman came in with a wet and broken fishing net and said, Hey, Sang Na, I'm back! ?
? Oh, it's you! ? Sang Na stood up, afraid to lift his eyes to see him.
? Look, such a night! How terrible! ?
? Yes, yes, the weather is terrible! Oh, how about fishing?
? Shit, that's terrible! Nothing was hit and the net was torn. Bad luck, bad luck! What terrible weather! I can hardly remember when there was such a night, let alone fishing! Thank god, I finally came back alive. What did you do at home while I was away?
The fisherman said, dragging the net into the house and sitting by the fire.
? I, Sang Na, turned pale and said, it's really scary that I'm yelling so hard at mending. I'm worried about you! ?
? Yeah, yeah. The husband murmured,? Damn this weather! But what can we do?
The two men were silent for a while.
? You know, Sang Na said, our neighbor Simon is dead. ?
? Oh? What time?
? I don't know, maybe it was yesterday. Alas! What a tragic death she died! Both children fell asleep beside her. One of them is too young to talk, and the other just learned to crawl? Sang Na was silent.
The fisherman frowned and his face became serious and worried. ? Well, that's a problem! ? He scratched his head and said, well, what do you think? We have to bring them here. We can't stay with the dead! Oh, we, we can always get through this! Let's go Don't wait for them to wake up ?
But Sang Na sat still.
? What's the matter with you? No. What's wrong with you, Sang Na?
? Look, here they are. ? Sang Na opened the curtains.
Knowledge points of The Poor This is the famous Russian writer Lev? Short stories written by Tolstoy. The text tells the story that Sang Na and the fisherman took the initiative to adopt two orphans of the late neighbor Simon on a cold night, which truly reflects the miserable life of the fisherman under the Russian autocratic system and praises the good quality that Sang Na and the fisherman would rather suffer than help others. The ideological content of this lesson has the following two main points:
The first is to show the poverty and misery of the poor in Russian times. There is nothing in the full text except the title. Poor? Words, but what about the poor? Poor? To what extent, you can feel very real from the text. Sang Na's husband risked his life to go fishing for a family of seven, went out early in the morning and didn't return late at night; Sang Na works from morning till night by himself, and he can barely fill his stomach. It can be seen how difficult the life of the Sanna family is. Look at Simon's family again. Her husband passed away. On this cold night, she also died tragically in a bed made of straw. The room was wet and cold, and two helpless children were sleeping beside their dead mother.
The second is to praise the virtue of helping the poor. The author arranged for the orphans to be adopted in Sang Na's home. Sang Na was a poor man with many children, and his life was very difficult. After Sang Na brought back two orphans, the author described in detail her nervous and worried complex psychological activities. The objective reason for Sang Na's inner contradiction is that the life of the Sangna family is very difficult. Adopting two orphans is tantamount to adding another burden to the already extremely heavy life pressure. However, in the end, Mr. and Mrs. Sang Na made a decision to adopt orphans. When telling this story, the author truly described the inner world of the characters. The kindness and simplicity of Mr. and Mrs. Sang Na deeply touched the readers.
What is the text? Poor people? The title is meaningful. The article reflects the poverty of Sang Na and Simon-living in poverty, lack of food, poor working conditions and illness, which is a true portrayal of the tragic life of Russian fishermen in the Russian period. It was in this pitiful situation that Sang Na and the fisherman made an incredible move: on the basis of their five children, they took the initiative to adopt two orphans of Simon. It is through such examples that the author eulogized the noble quality that the poor would rather suffer than help others, and strongly criticized the degeneration and corruption of the upper class at that time.
This article is very distinctive in writing. Through the description of the environment, characters' psychology and dialogue, vivid characters are portrayed. The description of the environment strongly shows the hero's industrious and kind character. The description of Sang Na's psychological activities truly shows Sang Na's inner world and depicts a caring and helpful poor working woman. The dialogue between the fisherman and Sang Na has a distinct personality, which appropriately expresses the true feelings of the characters. The fisherman's words showed his frank and helpful qualities. Sang Na, on the other hand, reacted cautiously and spoke intermittently, which showed her nervous heart and also reflected her kind qualities of loving her husband and sympathizing with Simon.
The text has clear paragraphs and unique structure. Starting from Sang Na's inner contradiction, this paper sets two suspense questions around the adoption of Simon's two orphans: Did the fisherman go home safely? Can fishermen agree to adopt a child after returning home? The two suspense alternately unfold and gradually disappear, thus pushing the story forward.
The purpose of writing this text is to let students master the content of the text, feel the diligence, simplicity and kindness of sauna and fishermen, and learn the virtue that they would rather suffer than help others. Second, through the description of the environment, characters' psychology and dialogue, learn the author's writing methods of portraying characters and expressing true feelings.
Comprehension of sentences:
Her heart beat so violently that she didn't know why she did it, but she felt she had to.
? Do this? It means to adopt Simon's two orphans and bring them up. When Sang Na visited Simon, he was surprised to find that Simon had passed away, leaving two young children-one can't speak yet, and the other just learned to crawl. Faced with Simon's tragic experience, Sang Na instinctively brought two orphans back to his home. ? I don't know why I did it. With what? But feel compelled to do so? Seemingly contradictory, it actually reflects Sang Na's kind quality of sympathy and care for the poor.
She thought nervously: What would he say? Is this a joke? It is enough for him to have five children. Is he here? No, not yet! Why did you bring them here? He'll hit me! I deserve it. I deserve it. All right, beat me up! ?
? Awkward? It means uneasy. ? Nervous? Describe mental instability. After Sang Na brought back the orphans, she faced her five children and thought about her husband whose life and death were uncertain. She was nervous and worried. She doesn't know what her husband will say. She felt that she had added a burden to her husband and felt sorry for him. She was worried about her husband's sudden return and didn't know how to tell him about bringing the orphan home. But she would rather let her husband beat her up than adopt an orphan. The text truly shows Sang Na's psychological activities at this time. Through Sang Na's psychological activities, I fully felt the pressure brought by life to Sang Na, and felt the beautiful heart that Sanna loved her husband and sympathized with orphans, and would rather suffer than help others.
The continuous use of ellipsis shows that Sang Na's psychological activities at that time were intermittent, vividly writing Sang Na's uneasy psychology.
Sang Na was silent.
? Silence? It means to keep silent. Sang Na talked to the fisherman twice? Silence? . Sang Na and the fisherman were silent at the same time for the first time. The fisherman went home and his fishing net was broken. Facing her husband who had just struggled from death, Sang Na didn't know how to tell him about the adoption of orphans, so she chose silence. The fisherman is still immersed in the horror of fighting the waves, and still has a lingering fear. Seeing that Sang Na was silent, he stopped talking. The second time, Sang Na told her husband the news of Simon's death. She was waiting for her husband's decision, so she was silent again. Sang Na's two silences reflected Sang Na's kind heart.
The fisherman frowned and his face became serious and worried. ? Well, that's a problem! ? He scratched his head and said, well, what do you think? We have to bring them here. We can't stay with the dead! Oh, we, we can always get through this! Let's go Don't wait for them to wake up ?
? Frown, become serious and worried? It shows that fishermen find the problem very difficult. ? Scratch the back of your head? It shows that he is seriously considering it, which vividly shows that the fisherman thinks the problem is serious. ? How do you think? This is a fisherman asking his wife for advice. ? We have to bring them here. We can't stay with the dead! ? This is the fisherman's initial decision. ? Oh, we, we can always get through this! Endure? To endure (a painful or hard life). It shows that fishermen are prepared to live a harder life and work harder to raise their neighbors' children. ? Let's go Don't wait for them to wake up ? The fisherman was afraid that the child would be frightened when he woke up, so he urged sauna to hold the child. This passage describes in detail the fisherman's thinking process before and after making a decision, which shows that he, like his wife Sang Na, has a noble heart that is willing to help others even if he suffers.

What did Sang Na think of when she was waiting for her husband? Why do you think of this? Through discussion, it is clear that Sang Na's family is poor, and Sanna loves her husband and sympathizes with orphans, so she has such complicated psychological activities. At the same time, it is obvious that although Sang Na's inner activities are very complicated, her determination to adopt orphans has not wavered.
The environmental description in this paper includes not only the weather description, but also Sang Na and Simon. These environmental descriptions set off the beautiful qualities of sauna and fisherman from the side.
