内容分析

【What】本板块的语篇是一篇杂志文章。文章介绍了音乐家贝多芬的生平故事：贝多芬在孩提时代就展现出过人的音乐天赋；少年时代崭露头角，受到当时音乐界许多重要人物的肯定；到青年时代他却遭遇重大打击，逐渐丧失了作为音乐人最为宝贵的听力；此后他从绝望到振作，克服重重困难，继续他热爱的音乐事业，最终创作出了在音乐史上具有深远影响的旷世巨作《第九交响曲》，而“扼住命运的咽喉”也成了他人生的最好注脚。

【Why】本板块旨在通过一篇介绍世界音乐大师贝多芬的文章，引导我们学习他与命运抗争的勇气、不屈不挠的精神。学习本板块，要让大家明白一个人的成功仅有天赋是不够的，后天的努力和坚强的意志往往会成为更关键的因素。

【How】本板块的语篇是一篇人物小传类型的文章，最大的特点是采用了闪回（倒叙）的写作手法。文章开篇就描写了贝多芬的高光时刻——失聪许久，阔别舞台多年后，贝多芬带着自己苦心创作的《第九交响曲》登台演出，并且获得巨大成功；接下来，文章回顾了贝多芬不平凡的一生：幼年天赋过人，年少声名鹊起，踌躇满志之时却逐渐失聪，克服重重困难继续音乐创作；随后，文章回过头来详细介绍了贝多芬《第九交响曲》的内容和特点；文章最后对贝多芬不平凡的一生和巨大的成就做出了点评。整篇文章以《第九交响曲》为主线，穿插介绍了贝多芬的生平，重点刻画了他面对挫折所展现出来的坚强意志。在结构上，过渡句的使用使得文章段与段之间内容的切换顺畅自然，整体性强。◆

AlthoughBeethovenwasabletocontinuecomposingmusic,itbecameincreasinglydifficultforhimtoperforminpublic.WhenBeethovenpresentedSymphonyNo.9inViennain1824,itwashisfirsttimeonstageinovertenyears.作曲还可以继续，但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》，是他十多年来第一次登台。in·creas·ing·ly/ɪnˈkriːsɪŋli/越来越多地；不断增加地inpublic公开地；在别人（尤指生人）面前present上演；公演；推出Sincethatday,Beethoven’sSymphonyNo.9hasbecomeoneofthemostfamousandtreasuredpiecesinthehistoryofclassicalmusic.Thefirstmovementstartsquietly,butallofasuddenthewholeorchestrabreaksintoanenergetictheme.从此，贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始，随后，乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。treas·ure
