  结局


  One day Mathilde is walking to the market and sees the friend that she borrowed the necklace from.She decides to tell her what happened.The friend Mme.Forestier,tells Mathilde that the necklace was“false”,a fake.


  主题探讨


  揭示了当时法国社会底层人民生活和精神的落寞,以及人生观和价值观对于人生经历的影响。社会上道德沦丧,资产阶级骄奢淫逸的糜烂生活和惟利是图的道德观念影响到整个社会,追求享乐追求虚荣,成为一种恶劣的社会风气。


  莫泊桑是一个悲观主义者,小说最后主要是戏剧性地揭示出人在命运面前是无能为力的,最终人的一切理想追求和憧憬最终都会化为零。


  语言赏析


  She was one of those pretty and charming girls born,as if by an error of fate,into a family of clerks.She had no dowry,no expectations,no means of becoming known,understood,loved or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction;and so she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education.
