内心活动描写全攻略
在英语读后续写里，内心活动描写至关重要，它能让故事人物更加鲜活，情节更具感
染力。很多时候，一个段落甚至可能全是心理描写，且大多以有声或无声的独白形式呈
现。内心活动大致可分为以下几类，我们以《典范英语》中“Waiting for Goldie”的故事为
例来深入剖析。在这个故事里，祖父的鸽子戈尔迪参加比赛后迟迟未归，“我”十分焦
虑，决定在祖父从医院回来前找回它。“我”一开始以为戈尔迪被老鹰吃了，后来发现它
跌落在悬崖的石缝里，经过一番努力，“我”终于把它带回了家。
一、内心的语言
1. “'Come on, Goldie. Come on, Goldie. Come on, Goldie!' That's me, calling Golden - eyed
back home.”
中文翻译：“快点，戈尔迪。快点，戈尔迪。快点，戈尔迪！”那是我，在呼唤金眼
睛回家。
内心活动解析：主人公反复呼喊这句话，强烈地表达了对戈尔迪回家的渴望。这种重
复不仅体现出他内心的焦灼与不安，还反映出他对戈尔迪的深厚情感以及面对其未归时的
无助。他或许在心底不断祈祷戈尔迪能快点回来，每一次呼喊都是他内心期待的宣泄。
2. “'Come on, Goldie.' I can't stop saying that. I've been whispering it ever since I woke up, like a
magic spell. 'Come on, Goldie, come on, Goldie.' But it can't be a very good spell. It's not
working. It's not bringing Goldie back home.”
中文翻译：“快点，戈尔迪。”我忍不住一直这么说。我从醒来就开始轻声念叨这句
话，就像在念一道魔法咒语。“快点，戈尔迪，快点，戈尔迪。”但这肯定不是什么好咒
语。它不起作用。它没能把戈尔迪带回家。
内心活动解析：这里既展现了主人公对戈尔迪回家的急切渴望，又透露出他的无奈与
绝望。他把这句念叨当作“魔法咒语”，希望借此实现愿望，可现实却让他明白这毫无用
处。这种内心的矛盾与挣扎，进一步凸显了他对戈尔迪的思念，以及面对现状的无力感，
他的焦虑和痛苦也在这种矛盾中愈发强烈。二、内心的困惑和反问
1. “I knew he'd ask me that question. I bet he's been thinking about it all day. What am I going to
tell him? My mind's all confused. It's going round, whirr, whirr, like a washing machine on fast
spin.”
中文翻译：我知道他会问我那个问题。我敢打赌他一整天都在想这件事。我要告诉他
什么？我的大脑一片混乱。它在飞速运转，就像洗衣机快速脱水时发出的声音，“呼，
呼” 地转个不停。
内心活动解析：主人公预见到有人会问自己某个问题，却不知道如何回答，这种困惑
和焦虑让他倍感无助。用“大脑像洗衣机快速脱水时发出的声音”来形容思维混乱，形象
地体现出他内心的纠结，他或许正担忧如何应对这个问题，以及怎样给出一个合适的答
案。
2. “What am I going to do? I want my Grandad to get better. I want him to come out of hospital.”
中文翻译：我要做什么？我想要爷爷好起来。我想要他出院。
内心活动解析：这两句话直白地表达了主人公对爷爷的深切关心和内心的无助。他不
知道能为爷爷做些什么，只能在心里不断重复自己的愿望，这种内心的挣扎和焦虑充分展
现了他对爷爷健康状况的担忧，以及自己无法为爷爷做更多事情的无力感。
3. “What's happened to Goldie?' I ask the other pigeons on the roof of the loft. But they're no
help. They just fluff out their feathers and go, 'Cooooo!'”
中文翻译：“戈尔迪怎么了？”我问鸽棚屋顶上的其他鸽子。但它们帮不上忙。它们
只是抖抖羽毛，发出“咕咕”的声音。
内心活动解析：主人公在寻找戈尔迪的过程中向其他鸽子求助，却一无所获，这让他
感到无助和失望。他对戈尔迪的安危十分担忧，而其他鸽子的无动于衷更凸显了他的孤独
和无力，只能独自面对这种未知的情况。
三、虚拟的想象
“I constantly have these terrible images in my mind. They are of Goldie being grabbed out
of the sky by merciless talons. Just when she is about to reach her home. I can't bear to think
about it. I have known Goldie since she was an egg. Ever since she was a small, vulnerablechick!”
中文翻译：我的脑海中总是不断浮现出这些可怕的画面。这些画面是戈尔迪在即将飞
抵自己家的时候，被无情的利爪从空中抓走的场景。我实在不忍心去想这件事。我从戈尔
迪还是一枚蛋的时候就认识它了。从它还是一只弱小无助的小鸡时就认识它了！
内心活动解析：虚拟的想象成为主人公表达内心的一种手段。这些可怕的想象反映出
他对戈尔迪安全的极度担忧，因为戈尔迪迟迟未归，他的内心充满了各种不好的猜测。而
他与戈尔迪长久以来的深厚感情，更让他难以承受这种想象带来的痛苦。
四、身体动作和心理或环境的结合
通过身体动作来表达内心活动是常见的写作手法，将其与心理活动或环境相结合，能
让文章更具魅力。
1. “I hate those falcons. They probably killed Goldie. I bet they did! I can feel myself getting
really angry. My fists are all bunched up, in tight white knots.”
中文翻译：我恨那些猎鹰。它们可能杀了戈尔迪。我敢打赌它们就是凶手！我能感觉
到自己真的很生气。我的拳头都握紧了，紧紧地攥成了白色的小团。
内心活动解析：从“hate”（恨）到“bet”（敢打赌），再到“feel”（感觉到），主人
公对猎鹰的恨意以及内心的愤怒情绪逐渐升级，最后通过“fists bunched in knots”（拳头握
紧成团）这一动作，将内心的愤怒和无助具象化，让读者能更直观地感受到他的情绪。
2. “‘Oh no!’ That's me, crying out. I just looked down. Big mistake! I feel sick. I feel dizzy. I
can't move! I jam my hand into a gap in the rock so I don't fall.”
中文翻译：“哦不！”那是我在惊叫。我刚刚往下看了一眼。真是个大错误！我感到
恶心。我感到头晕。我动不了了！我把手塞进岩石的缝隙里，以免掉下去。
内心活动解析：三个“feel”的排比，“feel sick”（感到恶心）、“feel dizzy”（感到头
晕）、“can't move”（动不了），生动地描绘出主人公在危险情境下的恐惧和无助。
而“jam my hand into a gap in the rock”（把手塞进岩石的缝隙里）这一动作，则展现了他
在紧急情况下的本能反应，进一步凸显出他当时的紧张和害怕。
五、由视觉、决策等推进心理活动
大多数心理活动是由五官的所见、所闻等引发的。1. 从 heart 的引发：“Thump, thump, thump. What's that? It's my heart pounding. That's how
nervous I am. 'Calm down, son,' I tell myself.”
中文翻译：怦，怦，怦。那是什么声音？那是我的心在狂跳。我就是这么紧张。“冷
静点，孩子，”我对自己说。
内心活动解析：通过描述心跳声“Thump, thump, thump”，读者能直观地感受到主人
公的紧张氛围。主人公意识到自己的紧张后进行自我安慰，这种内心活动的描写让读者更
能深入体会到他的心理状态。
2. 从sight的引发：“But she isn't coming home. Wait, there's a flutter in the sky! I look up. 'Is
that you, Goldie?' But it's only a crow. I'm giving up hope. But I wait until it's nearly dark. Then I
lock the other pigeons in the loft and padlock the door.”
中文翻译：但她没有回家。等等，天空中有一阵振翅声！我抬头一看。“是你吗，戈
尔迪？”但那只不过是一只乌鸦。我快要失去希望了。但我还是等到天几乎黑了。然后我
把其他鸽子锁在鸽棚里，用挂锁锁上门。
内心活动解析：这段文字通过视觉和听觉描写，展现了主人公对戈尔迪的期盼与失
望。从看到天空动静时的期待，以为是戈尔迪回来，到发现是乌鸦后的失望，这种心理落
差让读者能深刻感受到他的内心煎熬。最后他虽失望却仍等到天黑才锁门，体现出他对戈
尔迪的不舍和无奈。
六、内心的决定
“I didn't know what to do before. I was all mixed up. But now I know exactly what to do.
Now I know exactly what I can say to Grandad when he comes home.”
中文翻译：我以前不知道该做什么。我当时完全不知所措。但现在我确切地知道该做
什么了。现在我确切地知道等爷爷回家的时候我能对他说些什么了。
内心活动解析：过去的“迷茫”，“I didn't know what to do before. I was all mixed
up.”表明主人公之前处于迷茫、困惑且混乱的状态，内心充满不确定性和焦虑，面对事情
毫无头绪，慌乱无措。而现在的“转变”，“But now I know exactly what to do. Now I
know exactly what I can say to Grandad when he comes home.”则体现出他心态的转变，从迷
茫变得清晰、笃定，找到了应对方法和方向，对未来的行动和交流有了明确计划，内心也变得更加自信和安定。

综合演练
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all
directions. The applause (掌声) filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two
hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on
stage and faced one of my greatest fears—and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself
credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had
been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my
personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say
something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in
school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and
never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after
our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner
strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. "I'll
begin to cast (挑选演员) everyone tomorrow," she said. "I need someone who is not afraid to be on
stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to try?" A few excited
hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of them—and Mrs. Sather smiled. "We'll talk more
about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
