James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. His astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th Century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.
When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself Norwegian so that he could read Ibsen’s works in the original.
When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.
Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?
选项
A、Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.
B、Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.
C、Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life.
D、Because he wanted to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively about the people and the places he knew best.
答案
D
解析
“James Joyce几乎一生都住在国外是因为他想保护他的写作理想,即真实、完整、客观地写他最为熟知的人物和地方。”因果判断题。原文用in order to来表明因果关系,因此to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully,fully,……为原因.结果就是he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinionor public life,即移居国外。
