Introduction to the text:
1. This text is a piece of narrative writing, a story.
2. The narrator of the story, Dobie Gillis, a freshman in a law school, is the hero or
protagonist(主角，正派角色）. He struggles against two antagonists（反派角色）: Petey Burch,
his roommate whose girlfriend he plans to steal; and Polly Espy, the girl he intends to marry
after suitable re-education.
3. The climax（高潮） of the story is reached in paragraphs147 to150 when Polly refuses to
go steady with the narrator because she had already promised to go steady with Petey Burch.
4. The denouement（结局） follows rapidly and ends on a very ironic tone.
About the Title---The title of the story is humorous and well-chosen. It has two meanings:
1. When “fallacy” is taken in its ordinary sense, the title means:
There is a deceptive（虚伪的，欺诈的） or delusive（欺瞒的，迷惑的） quality about love.
2. When “fallacy” is taken as a specific term in logic, the title means:
Love cannot be deduced（推理） from a set of given premises.
Perhaps Max Shulman wants the reader, after reading the story, to conclude that “love”
is an error, a deception and an emotion that does not follow the principles of logic. But the
writer, through this story has succeeded perhaps unwittingly(无意地) in revealing what love
may sometimes mean in the affluent society（物质社会）. Girls do not want brilliant, gifted or
educated husbands, but want husbands who are rich and wealthy enough to provide all the
things necessary in life— home, clothes, cars, etc..
Pay attention to his change of emotions:
1. favoring her with a smile
2. chuckled with amusement
3. chuckled with somewhat less amusement
4. forcing a smile/ ground my teeth
5. croaked, dashed perspire
