高考英语阅读备考：每个成人的心中都藏着一个彼得 潘

话题导入
《彼得·潘》是苏格兰小说家及剧作家詹姆斯·马修·巴利创作的长篇小说。小说讲述了一个会飞的淘气小男孩彼得·潘在永无岛的冒险故事，同他相伴的还有温迪·达令和其他人。温迪在永无岛上经历各种冒险的同时，渐渐明白了成长的意义，而彼得·潘在和温迪一起经历了种种冒险之后，也有所成长。
《彼得·潘》这部作品事实上是成人怀念美好童年的一个神话。一方面，它用生动、明快的笔法描述了一个至真至纯的儿童世界;另一方面，作者又满怀遗憾和无奈地暗示——童年虽美好，却无法挽留，人终究要长大并步入成人的世界。从童年到成年的转变，人类不仅失去了童年和童真，他们的个性受到压抑，人性也被扭曲了。而彼得·潘的存在说明人类有着永存不灭的童年和童心，这份童心让人们心旷神怡、遐思无限，忘却成人世界的喧嚣浮华，从而得到精神上的慰藉。

1 How would you like to escape the realities of everyday life to a fantasy world with fairies and pirates（海盗）？ How would you feel with so many growing pains surrounding or even swallowing you every day？ Well， you can be immersed（沉浸） in James Matthew Barries book Peter Pan， an adventure novel of some children. It will surely satisfy your curiosity and leave much room for you to rethink these obsessions （困扰）.
2 Peter Pan is playwright and novelist James Matthew Barries most famous work， published both as a play in 1904 and in 1911 as a novel. It tells the story of the magical Peter Pan， who flies into the Darling family’s nursery in London one night and persuades the children， Wendy， Michael and John to fly to Never land with him， where they get caught up in a number of wild adventures. Enriched with their new skill， they are led to the home of the Lost Boys in Never land. But Captain Hook， the evil leader of the pirates， is determined to wipe out the Lost Boys， and especially the cocky Pan. Therefor
e， the conflict is on. The adventure thus captures the imagination of children and adults， setting the scene for a classic tale.
3 Barrie was inspired to write the story of Peter by the Davies children， whom Barrie adopted after the death of their parents， Sylvia and Arthur. Their names were used for the names of some of the characters in the story， and the adoption of the Lost Boys by the Darling family is said to have been based on Barries experiences of adopting the Davies children. Barrie created Peter Pan as a story to amuse two of the boys， George and Jack.
4 “All children， except one， grow up.” This is the opening line of both the book and the play. The main theme of the story is the conflict between wanting to remain a child， but knowing that one has to become an adult. Peter Pan is the living and breathing manifestation （体现） of the desire to remain a child forever， without responsibility or cares. He makes decisions based on his desire to remain a child forever， even giving up Wendy and the friendship of the Lost Boys， so that he can stay young and continue to go on wild adventures. Peter represents the desire never to get older and never to mature as a person， but to remain immersed （沉浸） in one’s imagination and sense of play.
5 Though some of the values and language are now a bit out of date， Peter Pan by James Matthew Barrie is a must-have book for anyone wanting to escape into the fantasy world of Never land with the “boy who would never grow up”. Anyone who has an endless childhood and childlike innocence cannot miss the novel. So next time you walk into a book store， just buy one copy and take it home to enjoy.
