What does the phrase “Fields of Gazing Grain” symbolize?
【正确答案】:

IT SYMBOLIZE THE MATURE PERIOD.


【题目解析】:引文选自艾米丽迪金森的《因为我不能停步等待死神》。诗中的“strove”暗示着年少时的活力,充满对童年时的热爱,所以“School”指的是上学时候的青少年时代。“gazing”(若有所思,带有感情的注视),暗示着对盛年的收获倍感珍惜,“the Fields of Gazing Grain”本意为一望无际的麦田,在这里可以引申成成熟,收获的季节,所以代表的是盛年时代。“the Setting Sun”本意指落日,在这里象征着老年时代。
