划红线句子后面这句there were people to tell them
问题1:这是该理解成丹麦的故事就像讲故事的人那么多吗?
问题2:最后这个them指的是谁?是织布工?那么people又说的是哪一类人?
第二个as后面这个there be句子着实很难理解,请老师指点!
问题1In those days,there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them.字面意义是:在丹麦,有多少人讲故事,就有多少故事。含义是:1,丹麦人很喜欢讲故事的民族,人人都喜欢讲故事。2,既然大家都讲故事,那肯定是每个有自己的独特视角,词语,描述的方式不一样,所以有,一人讲一个样子,各不一样。这两个含义告诉我们,丹麦是一个童话王国,有这样的深厚的童话文化背景,再加上安徒生的天才和勤奋,安徒生自然而然的为世界知晓。
问题2:最后这个them指的是tales。people指的是讲故事的人
注意,虽然In those days,there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them的句子在There listened to the tales that ......as they worked at their weaving,后面,容易造成them指的是织布工。从写作手法上讲,作者描述织布工都能讲故事,暗示着丹麦普通老百姓都能讲故事,于是作者用there be 句式描述在丹麦人人都会讲故事,由个别到一半的写法,为了强调这种描述的客观性,真实性,用there be 句式,there be 句式凸显了描述的客观性,真实性。
