我對這首詩主要有三個問題 恩 我有把我的答案一起附上
可是這是我第一次讀英文詩 所以其實也不知道我在答什麼@@
想請各位幫我看一下 謝謝 文章我附在問題後面
1.想請問一下這篇主要想表達的意思是什麼?
這篇文章的作者是在鄉村長大的,以我的看法,
我覺得這篇主要是作者在抒發自己跟鄰居的社會階級上的差別,
不然為什麼會把狗大便從鄰居那移到自己的牽牛花上??
可是 最後一段我不知道 他主要要表達的意思
2.Why do you suppose Ciardi focuses on this particular incident
to make a comment on the suburbans?
What is the speaker's attitude toward suburban life?
我的答案是 people thought the villagers is nice and wouldn't be particular
about trifle, but still have exception 可是還是覺得可能不大齊全恩 :)
而attitude是 He was disgusted with suburban life.
3.How does the speaker transform Mrs. Friar into a symbolic
figure of the suburban?
透過Mrs.Friar很mean?
想請各位幫我看一下 謝謝^^
SUBURBAN by John Ciardi
Yesterday Mrs. Friar phoned. "Mr. Ciardi,
how do you do?" she said. "I am sorry to say
this is isn't exactly a social call. The fact is
your dog has just deposited--forgive me--
a large repulsive object in my petunias."
I thought to ask, "Have you checked the rectal grooving
for positive I. D.?" My dog, as it happened,
was in Vermont with my son, who had gone fishing--
if that's what one does with a girl, two cases of beer,
and a borrowed camper. I guessed I'd get no trout.
But why lose out on organic gold for a wise crack?
"Yes, Mrs. Friar," I said, "I understand."
"Most kind of you," she said. "Not at all," said.
I went with a spade. She pointed, looking away.
"I always have loved dogs," she said, "but really!"
I scooped it up and bowed. "The animal of it.
I hope this hasn't upset you, Mrs. Friar."
"Not really," she said, "but really!" I bore the turd
across the line to my own petunias
and buried it till the glorious resurrection
when even these suburbs shall give up their dead.

既然是第一次讀英詩，我有一些意見。
不要考慮作者的背景，一開始應該就詩本身所給予的資訊閱讀，
所以作者是不是在鄉村長大，想抒發什麼，都沒有關係。（至少
一開始都不重要。）應該把一首詩當作一個完整的系統，弄清楚
這首詩裡到底發生了什麼事。作者和敘述者不同，應該分清楚。

: 而attitude是 He was disgusted with suburban life.
Suburban life or residents of the suburb? If the latter,
is he targetting any particular type of residents?
I don't think he is disgusted with suburban life at all.
: 3.How does the speaker transform Mrs. Friar into a symbolic
: figure of the suburban?
: 透過Mrs.Friar很mean?
這有答跟沒有答一樣吧？:P
: 想請各位幫我看一下 謝謝^^
p.s. 最後一行的 "suburbs" 可能是雙關噢。
