storyThe story has been very popular and has been adapted to the stage.The following is a comment on a version of chamber opera.It can help you understand the story.第15页The chamber opera Fools Paradise is inspired by distinguished Yiddish writer and Nobel Prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singers story of the same name.How is it that such a short childrens story should be worthy of an entire opera?While it is a simple tale,it encompasses the full scope of lifes experiences.Childhood,adolescence,love,death,burial,resurrection and wedding all serve to make this a dramatic story which is bigger than life.第16页The opera is intended for children.In approaching such a project one must question whether composing especially for children is any different from composing for adults.Children do not ask for much;they have a great deal of intuition and a wealth of imagination.In fact,in many ways all they ask of the adult author or composer is to speak to them in clear simple language and allow for some mystery and magic.Ignite their imaginations and they can do the rest on their own!第17页Finally,there is the beautiful message of Fools Paradise.In its absurd way,a simple but important moral lesson is conveyed:life is better than death and wonderful Paradise is nowhere else but here on earth.This is a lesson relevant to everyone,children and grown-ups alike.第18页Language notesLanguage notes1.It was taken for granted that when they grew up they would marry.(人们理所当然地认为，他们长大成人后就会结婚。)To take something for granted means to believe something to be true or certain to happen.第19页2.In paradise one ate the meat of wild oxen and the flesh of whales;one drank the wine that the Lord reserved for the just;one slept late into the day;and one had no duties.(在天堂里，人们吃野牛和鲸鱼肉；喝上帝专门为正直人准备酒；白天睡到很晚才起床;没有什么义务要承担。)第20页Just here is an adjective,meaning honorable and fair.The just refers to those people who are just.注意定冠词与一些形容词或分词搭配，能够表示某一类人或某一类事情或概念，比如：The sick（病人）are here very well cared for.The young（年轻人）are impatient;they want changes.The oppressed（被压迫者）and the exploited（被剥削者）all look forward to their liberation.There will always be such opposites as the right and the wrong（对与错）,the good and the evil（善与恶）,the beautiful and the ugly（美与丑）.第21页3.The boy lay on his bed,pale and thin from fasting.(这个孩子躺在床上,因为禁食而脸色苍白,身体消瘦。)Fast means to eat little or no food,esp.for religious reasons.Note the preposition from here means because of,as a result of.e.g.She suffered from heart disease.She was exhausted from all the sleepless nights.The explorers died from cold before they reached the North Pole.第22页4.The doctor requested that a room be prepared to look like paradise.(医生要求他们准备一间看上去象天堂一样房间。)Note that after the word requested the that-clause is in the subjunctive mood.第23页5.Atzel was beside himself with joy.（阿采尔欣喜若狂。）Beside oneself means in a state of such great emotional excitement or confusion that one lacks self-control.该习语后面常跟with做原因状语，介词with宾语常见还有anger,fear,grief,hatred等。第24页6.It was not until after the wedding that Atzel learned how Dr.Yoetz had cured him,and that he had lived in a fools paradise.(直到婚礼之后阿采尔才知道犹兹大夫是怎样治愈他，知道自己曾经生活在愚人天堂。)Not until is used when we talk about an action that does not happen before the given moment.第25页Jews JudaismJewish History第26页Who is a Jew?people who
