(1) The entrance of the Judge, and a consequent great stir and settling down in the court, stopped the dialogue. Presently, the dock became the central point of interest. Two gaolers, who had been standing there, went out, and the prisoner was brought in, and put to the bar.
(2) Everybody present, except the one wigged gentleman who looked at the ceiling, stared at him. All the human breath in the place, rolled at him, like a sea, or a wind, or a fire. Eager faces strained round pillars and corners, to get a sight of him; spectators in back rows stood up, not to miss a hair of him; people on the floor of the court, laid their hands on the shoulders of the people before them, to help themselves, at anybody’s cost, to a view of him—stood a-tiptoe, got upon ledges (壁架), stood upon next to nothing, to see every inch of him. Conspicuous among these latter, like an animated bit of the spiked wall of Newgate, Jerry stood: aiming at the prisoner the beery breath of a whet he had taken as he came along, and discharging it to mingle with the waves of other beer, and gin, and tea, and coffee, and what not, that flowed at him, and already broke upon the great windows behind him in an impure mist (薄雾) and rain.
(3) The object of all this staring and blaring, was a young man of about five-and-twenty, well-grown and well-looking, with a sunburnt cheek and a dark eye. His condition was that of a young gentleman. He was plainly dressed in black, or very dark grey, and his hair, which was long and dark, was gathered in a ribbon at the back of his neck; more to be out of his way than for ornament. As an emotion of the mind will express itself through any covering of the body, so the paleness which his situation engendered (引起) came through the brown upon his cheek, showing the soul to be stronger than the sun. He was otherwise quite self-possessed, bowed to the Judge, and stood quiet.
(4) The sort of interest with which this man was stared and breathed at, was not a sort that elevated humanity. Had he stood in peril of a less horrible sentence—had there been a chance of any one of its savage details being spared—by just so much would he have lost in his fascination. The form that was to be doomed to be so shamefully mangled (乱砍), was the sight; the immortal creature that was to be so butchered and torn asunder (化为碎片地), yielded the sensation. Whatever gloss (粉饰) the various spectators put upon the interest, according to their several arts and powers of self-deceit, the interest was, at the root of it, Ogreish (恐怖的).
(5) Silence in the court! Charles Darnay had yesterday pleaded Not Guilty to an indictment (公诉) denouncing him (with infinite jingle and jangle) for that he was a false traitor to our serene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth, prince, our Lord the King, by reason of his having, on divers (各种各样的) occasions, and by divers means and ways, assisted Lewis, the French King, in his wars against our said serene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth; that was to say, by coming and going, between the dominions of our said serene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth, and those of the said French Lewis, and wickedly, falsely, traitorously, and otherwise evil-adverbiously, revealing to the said French Lewis what forces our said serene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth, had in preparation to send to Canada and North America. This much, Jerry, with his head becoming more and more spiky as the law terms bristled it, made out with huge satisfaction, and so arrived circuitously (曲折地) at the understanding that the aforesaid (上述的), and over and over again aforesaid, Charles Darnay, stood there before him upon his trial; that the jury were swearing in; and that Mr. Attorney-General was making ready to speak.
(6) The accused, who was (and who knew he was) being mentally hanged, beheaded, and quartered, by everybody there, neither flinched from the situation, nor assumed any theatrical air in it. He was quiet and attentive; watched the opening proceedings with a grave interest; and stood with his hands resting on the slab (厚板) of wood before him, so composedly, that they had not displaced a leaf of the herbs with which
it
was strewn. The court was all bestrewn with herbs and sprinkled with vinegar, as a precaution against gaol air and gaol fever (斑疹伤寒). (本文选自 A Tale of Two Cities)
According to Para. 6, the criminal was________in the court.
选项
A、scared
B、heroiC
C、furious
D、calm
答案
D
解析
细节题。原文第六段第二句提到,罪犯一言不发,神情专注,带着沉静的兴趣观看开庭,双手放在面前撤满了草药的木栏杆上,他如此镇静地站着,双手连一片草药叶子也没有碰到。由此可知,他在法庭上表现得非常平静,故答案为D。该段第一句提到罪犯既没有在这种形势前表现出畏怯,也没有摆出戏剧性的英雄气概,由此可知他并不害怕,也没有表现得很英勇,同时排除A和B;原文并未提及罪犯在法庭上表现得非常愤怒,故排除C。
