《猫》选自《郑振铎文集》第一卷《家庭的故事》。作者在《自序》中说:“我写这些故事……并不是我自己的回忆录,其中或未免有几分是旧事,却决不是旧事的纪实。其中的人物更不能说是真实的。”这说明《猫》是一篇小说,在初一可作为一般记叙文来教。作品虽然写的是家庭生活中养猫的琐事,作者却能精心构思,小中见大,把养猫和人们的情操、品质联系起来,写得波澜起伏,形象逼真,真挚感人。 “Cat” is selected from “The Story of the Family” in the first volume of Zheng Zhenxuan’s Anthology. The author said in “The Preface”: “I wrote these stories... Not my own memoirs. It may be a bit old, but it is definitely not a record of the old things. The people in it cannot be said to be true.” Explain that “Cat” is a novel that can be taught as a general narrative in the first year. Although the works are written about the trivial matters of keeping cats in the family life, the authors can meticulously conceive them and see them in small and medium terms. They associate the cats with the people’s sentiments and qualities, write ups and downs, vivid images and sincere and moving.
