问答题
Question 4 is based on the following passage of The Canterbury Tales. From The Canterbury Tales No morsel from her lips did she(the nun)let fall, Nor dipped her fingers in the sauce too deep And she would wipe her upper lip so clean That not a trace of grease was to be seen Upon the cup when she had drunk.4. What does the narrator think of the nun? Why do you think so?
【正确答案】正确答案：The narrator does not admire the nun. The author describes the nun with irony. Though the nun is well-educated and has good manners, she gives much importance to those things that should not be important for a nun. For example, the author is sarcastic when he uses the example of her feeling for a mouse to testify her charity and pity. Her dress is also not suitable for a nun; "She wore a coral trinket on her arm, / A set of beads, the gaudies tricked in green, / Whence hung a golden brooch of brightest sheen/ On which there first was graven a crowned A, / And lower, Amor vincit omnia. "
