a touching story
一個感人的故事
One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left.He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
一天,一個貧窮的小男孩為了攢夠學費正挨家挨戶地推銷商品, 飢寒交迫的他摸遍全身,卻只有一角錢。於是他決定向下一戶人家討口飯吃。
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
然而,當一位美麗的年輕女子打開房門的時候,這個小男孩卻有點不知所措了。他沒有要飯,只乞求給他一口水喝。這位女子看到他飢餓的樣子,就倒了一大杯牛奶給他。男孩慢慢地喝完牛奶,問道:「我應該付多少錢?」
"You don't owe me anything," she replied."Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart."As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race.
年輕女子微笑著回答:「一分錢也不用付。我媽媽教導我,施以愛心,不圖回報。」男孩說:「那麼,就請接受我由衷的感謝吧!」說完,霍華德-凱利就離開了這戶人家,此時的他不僅自己渾身是勁兒,而且更加相信上帝和整個人類。
He was about to give up and quit before this point.The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved .
本來,他都打算放棄了。生活中最大的幸福是堅信有人愛我們。
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled.They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
數年之後,那位女子得了一種罕見的重病,當地醫生對此束手無策。最後,她被轉到大城市醫治,由專家會診治療。大名鼎鼎的霍華德-凱利醫生也參加了醫療方案的制定。當他聽到病人來自的那個城鎮的名字時,一個奇怪的念頭霎時間閃過他的腦際。他馬上起身直奔她的病房。
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.
身穿手術服的凱利醫生來到病房,一眼就認出了恩人。回到會診室後,他決心一定要竭盡所能來治好她的病。從那天起,他就特別關照這個對自己有恩的病人。
After a long struggle, the battle was won.Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side.The bill was sent to her room.She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words..."Paid in full with a glass of milk."
經過艱苦的努力,手術成功了。凱利醫生要求把醫葯費通知單送到他那裡,他看了一下,便在通知單的旁邊簽了字。當醫葯費通知單送到她的病房時,她不敢看。因為她確信,治病的費用將會花費她整個餘生來償還。最後,她還是鼓起勇氣,翻開了醫葯費通知單,旁邊的那行小字引起了她的注意,她不禁輕聲讀了出來:「醫葯費已付:一杯牛奶。」
Dr. Howard Kelly Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: "Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands."
喜悅的淚水溢出了她的眼睛,她默默地祈禱著:「謝謝你,上帝,你的愛已通過人類的心靈和雙手傳播了。

『捌』 推薦幾部英美小說(附英文版作品簡介 、人物介紹以及人物關系,在網上幫我找找就行啦)
1 哈克貝利·弗恩歷險記——馬克·吐溫
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
哈克貝利是一個聰明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他為了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一個勤勞朴實、熱情誠實、忠心耿耿的黑奴,他為了逃脫被主人再次賣掉的命運,從主人家中出逃。他們一起漂流在密西西比河上,過著自由自在的生活,兩人成了好朋友。哈克貝利為了吉姆的自由,歷盡千辛萬苦,最後得知,吉姆的主人已在遺囑里解放了他。小說中,哈克貝利和吉姆的性格鮮明突出,形象栩栩如生。全篇的現實主義描繪和浪漫主義抒情交相輝映,尖銳深刻的揭露、幽默辛辣的諷刺以及浪漫傳奇的描寫渾然一體,形成了馬克·吐溫獨特的藝術風格。
2 純真年代——華頓
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
伊迪絲·沃頓1921年獲得普立策文學獎的小說,她也是普立策獎歷史上首度獲獎的女性作家。
小說的主要情節發生在19世紀70年代末80年代初的紐約上流社會。那是伊迪絲度過童年與青春的地方,她在那兒長大成人,進入社交界,訂婚又解除婚約,最後嫁給波士頓的愛德華華頓,並度過了婚後的最初幾年。時隔40年後,作為小說家的她回顧養育過她也束縛過她的那個社會,她的感情是復雜的,既有親切的眷戀,又有清醒的針砭。作家把那個時代的紐約上流社會比作一個小小的金字塔,它又尖又滑,很難在上面取得立足之地。處在塔頂,真正有貴族血統的只有二三戶人家:華盛頓廣場的達戈內特祖上是正宗的郡中世家;范德盧頓先生是第一任荷蘭總督的嫡孫,他家曾與法國和英國的幾家貴族聯姻;還有與德格拉斯伯爵聯姻的拉寧一家。他們是上流社會的最高階層,但顯然已處於日薄西山的衰敗階段。上流社會的中堅力量是以明戈特家族、紐蘭家族、奇弗斯家族為代表的名門望族,他們的祖輩都是來自英國或荷蘭的富商,早年在殖民地發跡,成為有身份有地位的人物。比如紐蘭·阿切爾的一位曾外祖父曾參與過獨立宣言的簽署,還有一位曾在華盛頓部下任將軍。正如阿切爾太太所說的,「紐約從來就是個商業社會」,占支配地位的是這些殷實的富商。處於金字塔底部的是富有卻不顯貴的人們,他們多數是內戰之後崛起的新富,憑借雄厚的財力,通過聯姻而躋身上流社會。作者從親身經歷與熟悉的環境中提煉素材,塑造人物,將作品題材根置於深厚的現實土壤中。尤其通過博福特命運浮沉這一線索與主人公愛情悲劇的主線相互映襯,使一個看似尋常的愛情故事具備了深刻的社會現實意義。
3 白鯨——梅爾維爾
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
《白鯨》是美國十九世紀浪漫主義小說家梅爾維爾的代表作。在美國文學史和世界文學史上,《白鯨》都是一部經典的著作,一部偉大的小說,是研究美國文學的一部必讀書。《白鯨》展示給我們的是船長亞哈為追殺白鯨帶領佩闊德號及其般員為復仇而走向毀滅的過程。書中以象徵主義及寓言體的寫作方式向我們展示了一部十九世紀美國的真實畫面。從人與自然的抗爭中亞哈的悲劇,人與人的關系中所體現的悲劇兩個角度可以揭示《白鯨》所表現的時代特徵及所蘊涵的悲劇實質。
4 紅字——納撒尼爾·霍桑
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
19世紀美國浪漫主義作家霍桑的長篇小說。創作於1851年。小說以兩百多年前的殖民地時代的美洲為題材,但揭露的卻是19世紀資本主義發展時代美利堅合眾國社會典法的殘酷、宗教的欺騙和道德的虛偽。主人公海絲特被寫成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表裡不一的丁梅斯代爾,同時也在感化著充滿罪惡的社會。至於她的丈夫奇林渥斯,小說則把他寫成了一個一心只想窺秘復仇的影子式的人物。他在小說中只起情節鋪墊的作用。
小說慣用象徵手法,人物、情節和語言都頗具主觀想像色彩,在描寫中又常把人的心理活動和直覺放在首位。因此,它不僅是浪漫主義小說的代表作,同時也被稱作是美國心理分析小說的開創篇。
5 最後的莫希幹人——庫柏
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
《最後的莫希幹人》是《皮裹腿故事集》中最出色的一部。故事發生在十八世紀五十年代末期,英法兩國為爭奪北美殖民地而進行的「七年戰爭」的第三年,地點是在赫德森河的源頭和喬治湖一帶。對於印第安人的被殺戮和印第安部落的消亡,作者的心情是十分沉重的,他深深懷著同情和憤慨。他寫道:「莫希幹人的領土,是被歐洲人侵佔去的美洲大陸的第一塊地盤,因而,莫希幹人就第一個成了離鄉背井的人。面臨著文明的推進,也可以說,文明的入侵,所有印第安部落的人民,就像他們故土林木上的綠葉在刺骨的嚴寒侵凌下紛紛墜地一樣,日益消亡,看來這已成為落到他們頭上的不可避免的命運。有足夠的歷史事實可以證明,這幅慘像並非虛妄之作。」
作者把本書取名為《最後的莫希幹人》,就有著令人心酸的悲哀音調。正直、勇敢的莫希幹人恩卡斯和美麗善良的科拉之死,也不無更深的寓意:隨著他們的死去,他們心靈上的那種美德和純潔的感情也消亡了,留下的只是籠罩在美洲大地上的那些貪婪、殘暴的惡意和邪念。
6 小婦人——路易莎·奧爾科特
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
這部小說以家庭生活為描寫對象,以家庭成員的感情糾葛為線索,描寫了馬奇一家的天倫之愛。馬奇家的四姐妹中,無論是為了愛情甘於貧困的梅格,還是通過自己奮鬥成為作家的喬,以及坦然面對死亡的貝思和以扶弱為己任的艾米,雖然她們的理想和命運都不盡相同,但是她們都具有自強自立的共同特點。描寫了她們對家庭的眷戀;對愛的忠誠以及對親情的渴望。馬奇一家有四個姐妹,生活清貧、簡單而又溫馨。四組妹性格迥異;老大梅格漂亮端莊,有些愛慕虛榮;老二喬自由獨立,渴望成為作家,老三貝絲善良羞澀,熱愛音樂,老四埃米聰慧活潑,愛好藝術,希望成為一名上流社會的「淑女」。
所有時代的所有少女成長過程中所要面對的經歷的,都可以在這本書中找到:初戀的甜蜜和煩惱,感情與理智的譯,理想和現實的差距,貧窮與富有的矛盾。
7 野性的呼喚——傑克·倫敦
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
《野性的呼喚》是傑克·倫敦最負盛名的小說。故事主要敘述一隻強壯勇猛的狼狗巴克從人類文明社會回到狼群原始生活的過程。巴克是一頭體重140磅的十分強壯的狗。他本來在一個大法官家裡過著優裕的生活,後來被法官的園丁偷走,輾轉賣給郵局,又被送到阿拉斯加嚴寒地區去拉運送郵件的雪橇。巴克最初被賣給兩個法裔加拿大人。這些被買來的狗不僅受到了冷酷的人類的虐待,而且在狗之間為了爭奪狗群的領導權,也無時不在互相爭斗、殘殺。由於體力超群、機智勇敢,巴克最終打敗斯比茨成為狗群的領隊狗。他先後換過幾個主人,最後被約翰·索頓收留。那是在巴克被殘暴的主人哈爾打得遍體鱗傷、奄奄一息時,索頓救了他,並悉心為他療傷。在索頓的精心護理下巴克恢復得很快,由此他們之間產生了真摯的感情。巴克對索頓非常忠誠,他兩次不顧生命危險救了索頓的命,並在索頓和別人打賭時,拚命把一個載有一千磅鹽的雪橇拉動,為索頓贏了一大筆錢。不幸的是,在淘金的過程中,索頓被印第安人殺死。狂怒之下,巴克咬死了幾個印第安人,為主人報了仇。這時恩主已死,他覺得對這個人類社會已無所留戀。況且,一段時期以來,荒野中總回盪著一個神秘的呼喚聲。這個聲音吸引著他。最終,他回應著這個聲音,進入森林,從此與狼為伍,過著原始動物的生活。但他不忘舊誼,仍然定期到主人的葬身之處去憑吊。
8 湯姆叔叔的小屋——哈里特·比徹·斯托
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
出生於康涅狄格州的斯托夫人,是哈特福德女子學院(Hartford Female Academy)的一名教師,同時,她也是一位積極的廢奴主義者。全書圍繞著一位久經苦難的黑奴湯姆叔叔的故事展開,並描述了他與他身邊人——均為奴隸與奴隸主——的經歷。這部感傷小說深刻地描繪出了奴隸制度殘酷的本質;並認為基督徒的愛可以戰勝由奴役人類同胞所帶來的種種傷害。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》這部小說是19世紀最暢銷的小說(以及第二暢銷的書,僅次於最暢銷的書《聖經》)並被認為是刺激1850代廢奴主義興起的一大原因。在它發表的頭一年裡,在美國本土便銷售出了三十萬冊。《湯姆叔叔的小屋》對美國社會的影響是如此巨大,以致在南北戰爭爆發的初期,當林肯接見斯托夫人時,曾說到:「你就是那位引發了一場大戰的小婦人。」後來,這句話為眾多作家競相引用。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》以及受其啟發而寫作出的各種劇本,還促進了大量黑人刻板印象的產生,不少的這些形象在當今都為人們所熟知。譬如慈愛善良的黑人保姆、黑小孩的原型、以及順從、堅忍並忠心於白人主人的湯姆叔叔。最近幾十年來,《湯姆叔叔的小屋》中的這些消極成分,已在一定程度上弱化了這本書作為「重要的反奴隸制工具」的歷史作用。
『玖』 狄更斯小說《大衛科波菲爾》人物分析(英文版)
The story is told almost entirely from the point of view of the first person narrator, David Copperfield himself, and was the first Dickens novel to do so.
Critically, it is considered a Bilngsroman and would be influential in the genre which included Dickens's own Great Expectations (1861), Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Samuel Butler's The Way of All Flesh, H. G. Wells's Tono-Bungay, D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, and James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
As a bilngsroman, it has one major theme throughout, the disciplining of the hero's emotional and moral life. We learn to go against "the first mistaken impulse of the undisciplined heart", a theme which is repeated throughout all the relationships and characters in the novel.
Characters in the novel generally belong to one of three categories: Those who have disciplined hearts, those who lack disciplined hearts, or those who develop disciplined hearts over time. Characters who fall into the first category include the mature and caring Agnes Wickfield and the selfless and forgiving Mr. Peggotty. The greedy, scheming Uriah Heep and the egotistic and inconsiderate James Steerforth are examples of characters who belong in the second category. Members of the third category include David Copperfield himself, who learns to make wiser choices in his relationships through personal experience, and his aunt Betsy Trotwood, who lacks consideration for others early on, but becomes less inconsiderate over time. Dickens uses characters and events throughout the novel as comparisons and contrasts for each other in terms of wisdom and discipline. A good comparison is Agnes Wickfield and Dora Spenlow: Dora lacks maturity and is unable to handle stressful situations, often breaking out in tears, while Agnes remains calm and collected even when troubled, yielding to her emotions only rarely. Another good comparison is Ham and Mr. Peggotty, and Mrs. Steerforth and Miss Dartle: The latter two become distraught at the loss of Steerforth, allowing it to trouble them their whole lives, while the former two bear the loss of Emily with dignity and reservation. Despite the premise of this work, Dickens does not give David Copperfield a stiff or unnatural feel, making this novel a supreme display of his genius at work.[citation needed]
Analysis of Major Characters
David Copperfield
Although David narrates his story as an alt, he relays the impressions he had from a youthful point of view. We see how David』s perception of the world deepens as he comes of age. We see David』s initial innocence in the contrast between his interpretation of events and our own understanding of them. Although David is ignorant of Steerforth』s treachery, we are aware from the moment we meet Steerforth that he doesn』t deserve the alation David feels toward him. David doesn』t understand why he hates Uriah or why he trusts a boy with a donkey cart who steals his money and leaves him in the road, but we can sense Uriah』s devious nature and the boy』s treacherous intentions. In David』s first-person narration, Dickens conveys the wisdom of the older man implicitly, through the eyes of a child.
David』s complex character allows for contradiction and development over the course of the novel. Though David is trusting and kind, he also has moments of cruelty, like the scene in which he intentionally distresses Mr. Dick by explaining Miss Betsey』s dire situation to him. David also displays great tenderness, as in the moment when he realizes his love for Agnes for the first time. David, especially as a young man in love, can be foolish and romantic. As he grows up, however, he develops a more mature point of view and searches for a lover who will challenge him and help him grow. David fully matures as an alt when he expresses the sentiment that he values Agnes』s calm tranquility over all else in his life.
Uriah Heep
Uriah serves a foil to David and contrasts David』s qualities of innocence and compassion with his own corruption. Though Uriah is raised in a cruel environment similar to David』s, Uriah』s upbringing causes him to become bitter and vengeful rather than honest and hopeful. Dickens』s physical description of Uriah marks Uriah as a demonic character. He refers to Uriah』s movements as snakelike and gives Uriah red hair and red eyes. Uriah and David not only have opposing characteristics but also operate at cross-purposes. For example, whereas Uriah wishes to marry Agnes only in order to hurt David, David』s marriages are both motivated by love. The frequent contrast between Uriah』s and David』s sentiments emphasizes David』s kindness and moral integrity.
While David』s character development is a process of increased self-understanding, Uriah grows in his desire to exercise control over himself and other characters. As Uriah gains more power over Mr. Wickfield, his sense of entitlement grows and he becomes more and more power-hungry. The final scenes of the novel, in which Uriah praises his jail cell because it helps him know what he should do, show Uriah』s need to exert control even when he is a helpless prisoner. But imprisonment does not redeem his evil—if anything, it compounds his flaws. To the end, Uriah plots strategies to increase his control. Because he deploys his strategies to selfish purposes that bring harm to others, he stands out as the novel』s greatest villain.
James Steerforth
Steerforth is a slick, egotistical, wealthy young man whose sense of self-importance overwhelms all his opinions. Steerforth underscores the difference between what we understand as readers and what David sees—and fails to see—in his youthful naïveté. David takes Steerforth』s kindness for granted without analyzing his motives or detecting his plicity. When Steerforth befriends David at Salem House, David doesn』t suspect that Steerforth is simply trying to use David to make friends and gain status. Though Steerforth belittles David from the moment they meet, David is incapable of conceiving that his new friend might be taking advantage of him. Because Steerforth』s plicity is so clear to us, David』s lack of insight into Steerforth』s true intentions emphasizes his youthful innocence. Steerforth likes David only because David worships him, and his final betrayal comes as a surprise to David but not to us.
