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. --
