c)If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you"ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don" t feel like going into it. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two haemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They" re quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They" re nice and all—I" m not saying that—but they" re also touchy as bell. Besides, I" m not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I"ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy.
【正确答案】正确答案:American Modern Period, Jerome David Salinger
【答案解析】解析:(题中引文节选自捷罗姆·大卫·塞林格的成名小说《麦田守望者》(The Catcher in the Rye),小说出版于1951年,是美国当代文学中的“现代经典小说”之一。参考译文:你要是真想听我讲,你想要知道的第一件事可能是我在什么地方出生,我倒霉的童年是怎样度过,我父母在生我之前干些什么,以及诸如此类的大卫科波菲尔式废话,可我老实告诉你,我无意告诉你这一切。首先,这类事情叫我腻烦;其次,我要是细谈我父母的个人私事,他们俩准会大发脾气。对于这类事情,他们最容易生气,特别是我父亲。他们为人倒是挺不错——我并不想说他们的坏话——可他们的确很容易生气。再说,我也不是要告诉你他妈的我整个自传。我想告诉你的只是我在去年圣诞节前所过的那段荒唐生活,后来我的身体整个儿垮了,不得不离家到这儿来休养一阵。)
