Look for patterns in the things you've noticed about the text—repetitions,
contradictions, similarities.
在文章重复,矛盾,相似的地方寻找脉络框架。
解析:
上一段的文章中说到了什么?
“. . . I once received an unexpected lesson from a spider. It happened far
away on a rainy morning in the West.”
Eiseley一开始告诉我们,天体蜘蛛给他上了一课。从而邀请我们考虑天体蜘蛛到底怎么样让他受教了?到底这个问题的答案是什么?让我们更多的专注文章细节,做好归纳看看能不能找出答案~在Eiseley的下一句话中,我们发现这次“受教”“发生在很早之前一个西部下雨的早晨”这个转换,让我们立即处于另一个时间地点,有点类似于童话里“很久以前。。。”可是,为什么Eiseley要用这个类似于故事或者童话的开头?我们还不知道,但这很奇怪,我们先把它记下来。接着往下看:
“ I had come up a long gulch looking for fossils, and there, just at eye
level, lurked a huge yellow-and-black orb spider, whose web was moored to the
tall spears of buffalo grass at the edge of the arroyo. It was her universe, and
her senses did not extend beyond the lines and spokes of the great wheel she
inhabited. Her extended claws could feel every vibration throughout that
delicate structure. She knew the tug of wind, the fall of a raindrop, the
flutter of a trapped moth's wing. Down one spoke of the web ran a stout ribbon
of gossamer on which she could hurry out to investigate her prey.”
Curious, I took a pencil from my pocket and touched a strand of the web.
Immediately there was a response. The web, plucked by its menacing occupant,
began to vibrate until it was a blur. Anything that had brushed claw or wing
against that amazing snare would be thoroughly entrapped. As the vibrations
slowed, I could see the owner fingering her guidelines for signs of struggle. A
pencil point was an intrusion into this universe for which no precedent existed.
Spider was circumscribed by spider ideas; its universe was spider universe. All
outside was irrational, extraneous, at best raw material for spider. As I
proceeded on my way along the gully, like a vast impossible shadow, I realized
that in the world of spider I did not exist.

出现了更多的语言细节让我们相信我们的位置"in the West."——gulch, arroyo, and buffalo grass.Eiseley 称 蜘蛛的网 为"her universe她的宇宙" and "the great wheel she
inhabited她住的巨轮," ,就像天空中的巨轮,宇宙一样。通过隐喻,蜘蛛网成了"spider universe蜘蛛宇宙." “she蜘蛛” 的 "senses did not extend beyond her universe感官没有延伸到她的宇宙之外" , 知道"the flutter of a trapped moth's wing被困飞蛾翅膀的颤动" 和赶紧"to investigate her prey查探她的猎物."Eiseley可以看到她"fingering her guidelines for signs of struggle.指责她的奋斗迹象"这些语言细节和其他细节将the web 的“所有者”描述为会思考,感受,努力的一种生物 - 一种与我们一样的生物。这个时候我们还没找出答案。我们需要更细致的分析。
