Good morning, Mr Chips11月12日（很激动）
中途穿插着无数个心理活动的变化
Goodbye Mr Chips 11月23日结束 （很感动）
对照葛传椝老先生的注解版本，断断续续读看完了，没有精读，咀嚼里面的一词一句。
在学习之前，先看了8章的内容（每章的插图和引导介绍让我很方便我去理解文章的内容），往后一边晨读一边看（抱着顺便学点英语的态度，很享受）。
这本小说在看的过程中，真的是又哭又笑，小说真的是很棒，Mr Chips很朴实，很乐观的一位执教老头，平凡的一生，但谁也替代不了他。在战争背景下， Mr Chips给人以快乐，忘却痛苦，他散发着热量，给人以力量。
此次晨读，给我的启发是：
1、读英语小说要找自己感兴趣的，上手容易，并且一点不觉得痛苦；
2、读到长句时，学会分层，把主次抓住，次要信息没读懂，不要紧的；
3、读到你真觉得，哇，我想学这段话，那就是真的你想学的，你就会记得 比如：在Ralston劝Mr Chips辞职时，Mr Chips 没有怼他，自言自语 (学校的存在的意义是？教书育人的本质是什么？)的一段话：
These examinations and certificates and so on—what did they matter? And all this efficiency and up-to-dateness —what did THAT matter, either? Ralston was trying to run Brookfield like a factory—a factory for turning out a snob culture based on money and machines. The old gentlemanly traditions of family and broad acres were changing, as doubtless they were bound to; but instead of widening them to form a genuine inclusive democracy of duke and dustman, Ralston was narrowing them upon the single issue of a fat banking account. There never had been so many rich men's sons at Brookfield.
Touchy, no sense of humor, no sense of proportion—that was the matter with them, these new fellows... No sense of proportion. And it was a sense of proportion, above all things, that Brookfield ought to teach —not so much Latin or Greek or Chemistry or Mechanics. And you couldn't expect to test that sense of proportion by setting papers and granting certificates...
4、抓住细节，新人物的出场，免不了一番介绍（而实际上，里面文章描写人物的场景相当之多），那么第二遍去啃这篇文章的时候，就要刻意的，mindful去看这些写人物的话。
比如：
第4章：写Katherine 她是个登山能手
she was an expert climber, better even than Chips, who was pretty good.
Her name was Katherine Bridges; she was twenty-five—young enough to be Chips's daughter. She had blue, flashing eyes and freckled cheeks and smooth straw-colored hair.
第4章：写Katherine 为什么喜欢Mr Chips？以为只是个只会读 Times很可怕的老头，没想到比自己同年阶段的人都有趣。并且他让人很难了解，但是很绅士。
She had always thought that middle-aged men who read the Times and disapproved of modernity were terrible bores; yet here he was, claiming her interest and attention far more than youths of her own age. She liked him, initially, because he was so hard to get to know, because he had gentle and quiet manners.
第6章：写2人是如此的天造地设的一对
Katherine conquered Brookfield as she had conquered Chips; she was immensely popular
with boys and masters alike.
第10章：写校长Wetherby去世，新校长Ralston就来了，这里Ralston作为新人物头一次出场：
Ralston, the new Head, very pontifical and aware of himself, fixing the multitude with a cold, presaging severity. 显然这个Ralston并不是个太招人喜欢的人物。
果不其然，作者马上就在11章，直接明了的说了，大家都不喜欢他：
Funny thing, Chips had never liked him; he was efficient, ruthless, ambitious, but not, somehow, very likable.
第12章：Chatteris入场：
he was even younger than Ralston had been —thirty-four. He was supposed to be very brilliant; at any rate, he was modern (Natural Sciences Tripos), friendly, and sympathetic. 显然这个Chatteris人就不错
5、学到很好看，很舒服的句式
比如：名词句
Katherine scampering along the stone corridors, laughing beside him at some "howler" in an essay he was marking, taking the cello part in a Mozart trio for the School concert, her creamy arm sweeping over the brown sheen of the instrument.
小说读完，自己需要改善的是：
1、读的过程中，还是要准备个小本本（这次没有），把时间脉络梳理清楚 (记录阅读-关键词），方便你去回顾，和跟别人讲这个故事。
2、读到赏心悦目的句子时，要学会动动脑筋造句，过脑，才能是自己的。
小说中，我印象深刻的表达有：
第一章：
1、When you are getting on in years 当你慢慢变老
2、you might bring me a cup of tea before prep, will you? prep自修课
3、And so it stood, a warm and vivid patch in his life, casting a radiance that glowed in a thousand recollections. 回忆，思绪都涌上来了
4、And suddenly, in a torrent of thoughts too pressing to be put into words.一串思绪突然闪过脑际
5、Rarely did he read more than a page of it before sleep came swiftly and peacefully
6、not many people still alive could boast a thing like that
7、Take up a firm attitude from the beginning— that's the secret of it
8、Give your enthusiasm to Brookfield, and Brookfield will give you something in return.
第二章：
1、A decent career, decently closed
第三章：
1、And Chips also would be making his comments
2、Apleasant, placid 美 /'plæsɪd/ life
3、Quite a character, the old boy, isn't he?
4、Which was oddly incorrect; because Chips was not a bachelor at all. He had married, though it was so long ago that none of the staff at Brookfield could remember his wife.
第四章：
1、He had not, therefore, expected to find a woman on Great Gable; but, having encountered one who seemed to need masculine help, it was even more terrifying that she should turn the tables by helping him.
2、as she considered herself responsible for Chips's accident, she used to bicycle along the side of the lake to the house in which the quiet,middle-aged, serious-looking man lay resting.
3、they were head over heels in love 坠入爱河
第五章：
1、 So clearly it lingered, that time of dizzy happiness
2、 he used to look down at his feet and wonder which one it was that had performed so signal a service.
3、he would never get a promotion, and of his complete ineligibility to marry a young and ambitious girl.
4、 I feel rather like a new boy beginning his first term with you. Not scared, mind you—but just, for once, in a thoroughly respectful mood. Shall I call you 'sir'—or would 'Mr. Chips' be the right thing?
第六章：
1、For his marriage was a triumphant success. Katherine conquered Brookfield as she had
conquered Chips.
2、Till his marriage he had been a dry and rather neutral sort of person; liked and thought well of by Brookfield in general, but not of the stuff that makes for great popularity or that stirs great affection.
3、He had, in fact, already begun to sink into that creeping dry rot of pedagogy which is the worst and ultimate pitfall of the profession; giving the same lessons year after year had formed a groove into which the other affairs of his life adjusted themselves with insidious ease.
第七章：
1、And as it stood, a warm and vivid patch in his life, casting a radiance that glowed in a
thousand recollections.
2、I'd let them off if I were you.饶恕
3、One black sheep can contaminate others.
4、And years later, whenever he had trouble with a boy, he was always at the mercy of a softening wave of reminiscence
5、But she had not always pleaded for leniency.On rather rare occasions she urged severity where Chips was inclined to be forgiving. "I don't like his type, Chips. He's too cocksure of himself. If he's looking for trouble I should certainly let him have it."
6、Somehow, too, his recollections lost much of their flavor when they were written down
7、it would seem quite tame in print
第八章：
（妻子走了They had died on the same day, the mother and the child just born; on April 1, 1898.）
1、may I have the afternoon off?
2、My people are coming up.
3、You can go to blazes for all I care.
4、He did not want to talk to anybody or to receive condolences.
5、continuing trance 神情恍惚
第九章：
1、He thought at first he would give up his house mastership, but the Head persuaded
him otherwise.
2、filled up an emptiness in his mind and heart
3、 as marriage had added something, so did bereavement 丧亲
4、he overheard a boy saying: 'not half bad for an old chap like him'
5、an excellent example of
6、Where had they all gone to, he often pondered; those threads he had once held
together, how far had they scattered, some to break, others to weave into unknown patterns?
7、He gets away with it 侥幸逃脱
第十章：
1、There was just the faintest chance
2、 a service will be held 仪式
3、 You've put your life in his hands many a time.
第十一章

1、you had to beware of him

choose.
第十四章：
1、work was not taxing. 不费力
2、He was a grand success巨大成功
3、 From that last honor, within his reach at last, he shrank instinctively, feeling himself in so many ways unequal to it. He said to Rivers: "You see, I'm not a young man and I don't want people to—um —expect a lot from me. I'm like all these new colonels and majors you see everywhere—just a war-time fluke. A ranker—that's all I am really."
