关于The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story by Washington Irving contained in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., written while he was living in Birmingham, England, and first published in 1820. With Irving"s companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction still read today.The story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head". Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones, who was "to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod was related".The dénouement of the fictional tale is set at the bridge over the Pocantico River in the area of the Old Dutch Church and Burying Ground in Sleepy Hollow. The characters of Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel may have been based on local residents known to the author. The character of Katrina is thought to have been based upon Eleanor Van Tassel Brush, in which case her name is derived from that of Eleanor"s aunt Catriena Ecker Van Tessel.Although Irving knew an army colonel named Ichabod Crane from Staten Island, New York (who was also once the Commanding Officer of Lieutenant Stonewall Jackson), the character in "The Legend" may have been patterned after Jesse Merwin, who taught at the local schoolhouse in Kinderhook, further north along the Hudson River, where Irving spent several months in 1809. 东侧的哈得逊河在纽约,有一个小集镇要求塔里敦。约两英里处塔里敦是一个小山谷。人们称之为“睡谷” 。的祖先那里的人民是原来的荷兰定居纽约。这些睡谷的人往往是非常富有想象力的,而且往往声称已经看到鬼。 主要鬼的地区是精神的骑手无头。本着这种精神,所以有人说,每天晚上乘车找到他的同伴。这是说,他去他的墓地里埋葬,他骑的速度风。 很快结束后,美国革命战争( 1775-6 ) ,一名男子名为Ichabod起重机来睡谷的教师要在该地区。 Ichabod是瘦长。他的头小而扁平的顶部。他大耳朵,大眼睛的绿色玻璃,以及细长的鼻子。 Ichabod讲授一间学校的房子里,他用小树枝罢工失常的学生。他的惩罚,荷兰儿童最。但他仔细相处的学生,其母亲是很好的厨师,因为他的工资很低,他曾在不同的家庭餐。 Ichabod使自己在许多方面有益的。他帮助农民与他们的日常工作。他还通过八卦围绕以自己的妻子。此外,他是unoffical合唱主任领域。冬天晚上,他听取和接受了所有的鬼故事古老的荷兰妻子说。当他走回家,晚上,布什总统期待着每一个他像幽灵一样包括在资产负债表。 很快Ichabod起重机的极大兴趣,卡特里娜范流苏,唯一的孩子Baltus范流苏。流苏凡先生有很大的农场。从时间Ichabod见了范流苏,并看看他的农场, Ichabod的主要目的是在生活中,使他的妻子卡特里娜。 然而, Ichabod也有竞争对手,亚伯拉罕范布伦特,其昵称是姆维奇骨头。西布朗是非常有力和非常顽皮。虽然他并没有真正做任何邪恶的东西,他喜欢玩笑话别人。他还希望卡特里娜是他的女朋友。卡特里娜并没有真正关心他,但她肯定没有阻止他。 Ichabod不想公开竞争与西布朗。 Ichabod只是利用一切机会,他看到卡特里娜。但是西布朗极力发挥笑话的Ichabod在他的学校和班级在他的歌声。 一个秋日Ichabod被邀请参加一个党,晚上Mynheer范流苏的。下午, Ichabod花费额外的30分钟刷他的,只有适合。 Ichabod然后借来的马命名Gunpower由范米开膛手,一个坏脾气的农民,他住在一起。 Gunpower是薄老plowhorse 。事实上, Ichabod真是一个奇怪的前瞻性造物的一匹黑马。 所有重要的人的面积来德伊尔范流苏的城堡这天晚上,包括姆维奇骨头。 Ichabod很高兴,他已被邀请。正如他所喜欢美味的食物,他微笑着对自己说,他有可能成为业主的农场一天。 当音乐开始, Ichabod跳舞的卡特里娜。然后他又加入了一批老家伙和交换故事,战争和空心的鬼。这些措施包括的故事树发生重大安德烈被打死,当然,这个故事的头骑手。 不久党解体; Ichabod ,但是,留在谈论与卡特里娜的一小会儿。当他离开了她,他感到有点失望,不知道到底如何,她觉得他的。他骑着马从旧马,他借来的。 有人半夜时Ichabod接近主要安德烈的树。这是地方这么多的鬼故事场景理应发生。他听到了呻吟声,看到白色的东西,但他通过。前面两个一〇 〇码有一座桥。这是一个地区称为威利的沼泽。这里的路看上去黑暗的阴影,因为从橡树和板栗树。 Ichabod的马,火药,突然停在桥上。和公正然后Ichabod看到一些巨大的向上攀登的阴影,格罗夫。
