rip van winkle

1. rip van winkle

Rip Van Winkle" is about a man named Rip Van Winkle, who 

lived in a little Dutch town in the Hudson Valley. 

Everyone in the town was very fond of him because he 

would help anyone who needed help and he would play with 

the children. The thing he couldn't do was tend to his 

farm because it seemed that everything he did failed, so 

he would go out and fish or go to the town inn and 

listen to the gossip. His wife Dame Van Winkle would get 

angry at him for being lazy and not tending to the farm. 

One day he decided that he had one option to get away 

from his wife and the farm, which was to take his gun 

and dog and go into the woods and hunt squirrels.

He spent all day looking for squirrels, but couldn't 

find any. So he lied on the grass and after awhile he 

noticed it was getting dark, so he started back. As he 

did this, he heard someone calling his name and then he 

saw a ghost appear carrying a keg of liquor on his back. 

So they both went together down the woods until they 

came to this opening where they saw these weird dressed 

people playing 9 pin. Rip and the ghost walked up 

towered them and the ghost poured liquor into the flasks 

for the people to drink and Rip started to drink too 

until he passed out on the ground. The next mourning he 

woke up and didn't know what to tell his wife. He 

reached for his gun, but all he saw was a rusted out gun 

instead of the well oiled, shiny gun. Then he looked for 

his dog and he couldn't find his dog.
 
So he went back in town and everyone stared at him like 

they didn't know him. He looked at himself to see what 

everyone was staring at and he saw that he had a beard a 

foot long. He looked around the village and nothing was 

familiar, even his house which looked like a run-down 

shack. He went to the tavern to see if he recognized 

anyone, which he didn't. Then he started calling the his 

friends names to see if anyone has heard of them and 

they all said that they were have moved on or dead. Then 

he asked if they have heard of the name Rip Van Winkle 

and they all pointed to his son, which looked just like 

him. This made Rip think that he had woke up someone 

else because his son looked just like him. 

Then a woman with a child in her arms came to see the 

man. Rip had overheard the name of the child was Rip and 

he asked her who was her father and she said her father 

was Rip Van Winkle, who left when she was a child twenty 

years ago. Then Rip told her that he was her Events, no 

matter how small can change a society, a culture, and an 

outlook in the blink of an eye.  Whether it is in a war, 

a speech, a gesture, or even a novel. Washington Irving 

made an incredible impact from his short story "Rip Van 

Winkle", drawing the events surrounding him to form a 

simple story with deep meaning. To bring to a pinpoint, 

the story shaped the American culture as the American 

culture shaped the story. 

From this folklore, others have grown from it. Some 

believe that Rip in fact did not fall asleep, but took 

adventurous journeys in foreign lands with strange 

people. Art and child-like fantasies have been the 

median to which the stories have been communicated. 

Drawings consist of fairy-like areas and magical 

settings have attracted children and adults alike. 

"Rip Van Winkle" has affected elements across the board. 

It shows up everywhere. Since 1819, the story, the name, 

and what it stand for has touched all parts of the arts, 

literature, education, and culture. The number of 

editions that the story has accumulated is higher than 

most and comes in all forms of literature from cheap 

paperbacks to elaborated illustrations that have become 

classics. Mentioned in other literature, in politics, 

and in a variety of languages, it is used to define what 

our country became after the revolutionary war and how 

the British perceive the Americans. The fact that Rip 

fell asleep due to the effects of a drink. England felt 

that the Americans were lazy alcoholics that would fall 

apart if not for the British authorities controlling 

them. 

The story of Rip Van Winkle has almost come to the point 

where it has become commercialized. If one travels into 

the Catskills, they will come across an array of tourist 

attractions ranging from hotels, to Lakes, to gas 

stations. There is a tour company that travels from New 

York to the Catskills. There one will find a famous 

garden with the same name. 

In conclusion, the story Rip Van Winkle has affected and 

in turn, been affected by American society. How can we 

apply this to modern day society? Are we still able to 

compare that way that are government has evolved? Not 

only was it new beginning for a new style of writing it 

was a new start for a country. Washington could in no 

way have known how much his story would effect our 

culture.

2. rip van winkle评价

小说《瑞普·凡·温克》(Rip van Winkle)是美国小说家及历史家华盛顿·欧文(Washington Irving, 1783-1859)的名篇。以下内容可以参考：）~~ 
RIP VAN WINKLE is a famous tale written by Washington Erving,telling about a story in which an old man named Rip drank some beverage and fell into asleep for 20 years.After that,he returned to the villege where he came from,and found everything changed.People talked about revolution and election,and he has no idea of what that meaned.There have been many comments on this tale saying that it shows Erving'sattitude againstthe American revolution,and his approving of the past.On reading it the second time,it occured to me that Erving only showed his bewilderment:comming out of the oppressed life,people were at a loss about what they should do. 
　　Erving was not cherishing the past and opposing the present. 
　　First,Rip was not happy long before revolution,and he hated to do labour work on his own bussiness,and that was constantly under the criticism of Dame Van Winkle.Surely Dame was superior to Rip in his family,so the life of Rip could not at all be labelled as happy. 
　　secondly,Erving showed no opposition against the new America.After he had settled down in the villege,he even made friends with the rising generation,enjoying the idle life he had long been dreamed of. 

There is strong resemblence between Rip Van Winkle and the American people,Dame Van Winkle and the English government.Before revolution,Rip was a meek man who"would rather die on a penney than work for a pound",who had good relationships with the villegers.He lived a peaceful life except for the existence of Dame Van Winkle,his termagant wife who would taught him lessons in every possible way.The American people was also trying to live a peaceful life and the rule of the British government made it impossible.The Americans suffered the oppression for a long time. 
　　The war was over and Rip returned to his villege only to find the great change in the small villege,which is the sample of the change in America.No one in the villege recognised him.People talked about hot issues he has no interested in.Dame Van Winkle was gone and he was free now.However,he had no idea what he should do.The past had passed for ever,despotism was gone.No one was going to tell Rip what he should do.No one was going to force him to do anything.The American people is free to choose now,but they have no idea of what to choose.They were led into a new kind of life to which they were strangers.They were groping in the dark for the way ahead. 
　　By holding Rip Van Winkle as an symbol for the American people and all these analysis ,I reached the idea that Whshington Erving showed no radical attitude against the revolution but his bewilderment after the revolution.

6. rip van winkle原文及翻译

Rip van winkle, however,was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oileddispositions, who take the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pond. If left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect contentment; but his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family. Morning, noon, and night, his tongue was incessantly going, and every thing he said or did was sure to produce a torrent of household eloquence. Rip had but one way of replying all lectures of the kind, and that, by frequent use,  had grown into a habit. 
He shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, cast up his eyes,but said nothing. This,
however, always provoked a fresh volley from his wife, so that he was fain to draw off his forces, and take to the outside of the house——the only side which, in truth,belongs to a hen-pecked husband.瑞普.凡.温克尔，一个凡夫俗子，为人乐观，品行憨厚，天生圆滑，与世无争，只要不劳他思索，不费其吹灰之力，粗茶淡饭便可打发他，他宁可缺少一个便士而挨饿，也不愿为挣一英镑而工作。如果依着他的想法，他便会自鸣得意地吹着口哨，以此虚度光阴，但他妻子总会在他耳边唠叨他的好逸恶劳、粗心大意和他给家庭造成的伤害。无论早晨、中午、晚上，他总会滔滔不绝，而他所说或所做的势必会引来家人的一连串的唠叨。他总会用同一种方式回应所有好心人的劝导，久而久之便成了一种习惯。他会耸耸肩，摇摇头，闭着眼，什么也不说，而这往往会引起他妻子连续不断的辱骂。因此，他总是欣然交出大权整日在外游荡。说实话，这在另一方面说明他是个妻管严。

8. 麻烦大家告诉我一下<<Rip Van Winkle>>的写作背景

《瑞普·凡·温克尔》的背景是荷兰殖民地时期的美国乡村。
        瑞普为人热心，靠耕种一小块贫瘠的土地养家糊口。有一天，他为了躲避唠叨凶悍的妻子，独自到附近的赫德森河畔兹吉尔山上去打猎。他遇到当年发现这条河的赫德森船长及其伙伴，在喝了他们的仙酒后，就睡了一觉。醒后下山回家，才发现时间已过了整整二十年，人世沧桑，一切都十分陌生。原本闭塞的山村现在一片沸腾，到处是演说、传单、竞选。恍惚中，瑞普发现酒店招牌上英王乔治的画像变了。红色的上衣变成了蓝黄色，手中的王笏变成宝剑，头冠三角帽，下面是“华盛顿将军”的字眼。瑞普终于知道，他现在已由英王的臣民变为“合众国的一个自由的公民”。对所有这些变化，瑞普无动于衷，因为他最担心的是“女人的专政”。
