玳瑁猫 meaning in Chinese

tortoiseshell cat

The interpretation of the rich meaning implied in the novel can be approached from the writer ' s personal life and the social background reflected in the novel . " cat " symbolizes " child " ; the desire for a " cat " ( child ) reflects american new women ' s affirmation of women ' s traditional maternal role in 1920s ; " rain " symbolizes death , hinting not only the abortion of the child but also the end of marriage ; if the " cat in the rain " ( the death of child ) is the internal cause of the collapse of marriage , then the " big tortoiseshell cat " offered by the patron is the external causes ( extramarital affair )
通过分析作家生活经历和小说反映的时代背景可以解读“雨中的猫”所具有的多重象征意义： “猫”象征着孩子， “妻子”对“猫”的渴望表达了女性对母性的期盼，折射了美国20年代“新女性”对传统女性角色的认同； “雨”象征死亡，暗示着人物命运的不幸，既象征着“妻子”流产的婴儿，也预示着夫妇婚姻关系的解体；如果“雨中的猫”寓意婚姻关系解体的内因：夫妻在对待生孩子的矛盾，则饭店老板让侍女送给“妻子”的“大玳瑁猫”寓意婚姻关系解体的外因：第三者的插足。
