为什么喝醉了？醉酒在乔治·奥威尔的《动物农庄》中占据了突出的地位。在第一句话中，我们了解到，庄园农场的琼斯先生晚上把鸡舍锁上了，但他喝得太醉了，忘了关漏水孔。正是这种饮酒导致的疏忽，让动物们聚集在谷仓里，听老梅杰对人类进行先知般的诽谤。老少校在他振奋人心的演讲结束时警告聚集的动物们，在与人类作战的过程中，我们不能变得像他一样。即使你征服了他，也不要效仿他的恶习。任何动物都不能住在房子里，不能睡在床上，不能穿衣服，不能喝酒，不能抽烟，不能碰钱，也不能做生意。人类的所有习惯都是邪恶的。后来，由于琼斯堕落到酗酒的地步，“走进威灵顿，在红狮酒吧喝得酩酊大醉”，以至于他忘了喂动物，引发了农家庭院的起义。当动物们冲进农舍时，“厨房里挂着的一些火腿被拿出来埋葬，厨房里的啤酒桶被拳击手踢进了火炉”，拳击手是令人敬畏的革命马夫和革命英雄。毫不奇怪，现已更名为“动物农场”的第五条戒律变成了“动物不得饮酒”--这句格言和“所有动物一律平等”一样不祥。3.
Why intoxication? Intoxication figures prominently in George Orwell’sAnimal Farm. In the very first sentence we learn that ‘Mr Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the henhouses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes’. 1 It is this drink-induced negligence that allows the animals to gather in the barn to hear Old Major give his prophetic diatribe against humanity. Old Major concludes his rousing speech by warning the assembled animals that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. No animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. All the habits of Man are evil. 2Sometime later it was because Jones, descending into alcoholism,‘went into Willingdon and got so drunk at the Red Lion’that he forgot to feed the animals and precipitated the farmyard insurrection. When the animals stormed the farmhouse,‘Some hams hanging in the kitchen were taken out for burial, and the barrel of beer in the scullery was stove in with a kick from Boxer’, the redoubtable carthorse and hero-worker of the revolution. It comes as no surprise that the fifth commandment of the now renamed ‘Animal Farm’becomes ‘No animal shall drink alcohol’—a maxim as portentous as ‘All animals are equal’. 3
