a touching story
一个感人的故事
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,一个贫穷的小男孩为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品, 饥寒交迫的他摸遍全身,却只有一角钱。于是他决定向下一户人家讨口饭吃。
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,当一位美丽的年轻女子打开房门的时候,这个小男孩却有点不知所措了。他没有要饭,只乞求给他一口水喝。这位女子看到他饥饿的样子,就倒了一大杯牛奶给他。男孩慢慢地喝完牛奶,问道:“我应该付多少钱?”
"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.
年轻女子微笑着回答:“一分钱也不用付。我妈妈教导我,施以爱心,不图回报。”男孩说:“那么,就请接受我由衷的感谢吧!”说完,霍华德-凯利就离开了这户人家,此时的他不仅自己浑身是劲儿,而且更加相信上帝和整个人类。
He was about to give up and quit before this point.The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved .
本来,他都打算放弃了。生活中最大的幸福是坚信有人爱我们。
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.
数年之后,那位女子得了一种罕见的重病,当地医生对此束手无策。最后,她被转到大城市医治,由专家会诊治疗。大名鼎鼎的霍华德-凯利医生也参加了医疗方案的制定。当他听到病人来自的那个城镇的名字时,一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。他马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.
身穿手术服的凯利医生来到病房,一眼就认出了恩人。回到会诊室后,他决心一定要竭尽所能来治好她的病。从那天起,他就特别关照这个对自己有恩的病人。
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."
经过艰苦的努力,手术成功了。凯利医生要求把医药费通知单送到他那里,他看了一下,便在通知单的旁边签了字。当医药费通知单送到她的病房时,她不敢看。因为她确信,治病的费用将会花费她整个余生来偿还。最后,她还是鼓起勇气,翻开了医药费通知单,旁边的那行小字引起了她的注意,她不禁轻声读了出来:“医药费已付: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."
喜悦的泪水溢出了她的眼睛,她默默地祈祷着:“谢谢你,上帝,你的爱已通过人类的心灵和双手传播了。

『捌』 推荐几部英美小说(附英文版作品简介 、人物介绍以及人物关系,在网上帮我找找就行啦)
1 哈克贝利·弗恩历险记——马克·吐温
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
哈克贝利是一个聪明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他为了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一个勤劳朴实、热情诚实、忠心耿耿的黑奴,他为了逃脱被主人再次卖掉的命运,从主人家中出逃。他们一起漂流在密西西比河上,过着自由自在的生活,两人成了好朋友。哈克贝利为了吉姆的自由,历尽千辛万苦,最后得知,吉姆的主人已在遗嘱里解放了他。小说中,哈克贝利和吉姆的性格鲜明突出,形象栩栩如生。全篇的现实主义描绘和浪漫主义抒情交相辉映,尖锐深刻的揭露、幽默辛辣的讽刺以及浪漫传奇的描写浑然一体,形成了马克·吐温独特的艺术风格。
2 纯真年代——华顿
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
伊迪丝·沃顿1921年获得普立策文学奖的小说,她也是普立策奖历史上首度获奖的女性作家。
小说的主要情节发生在19世纪70年代末80年代初的纽约上流社会。那是伊迪丝度过童年与青春的地方,她在那儿长大成人,进入社交界,订婚又解除婚约,最后嫁给波士顿的爱德华华顿,并度过了婚后的最初几年。时隔40年后,作为小说家的她回顾养育过她也束缚过她的那个社会,她的感情是复杂的,既有亲切的眷恋,又有清醒的针砭。作家把那个时代的纽约上流社会比作一个小小的金字塔,它又尖又滑,很难在上面取得立足之地。处在塔顶,真正有贵族血统的只有二三户人家:华盛顿广场的达戈内特祖上是正宗的郡中世家;范德卢顿先生是第一任荷兰总督的嫡孙,他家曾与法国和英国的几家贵族联姻;还有与德格拉斯伯爵联姻的拉宁一家。他们是上流社会的最高阶层,但显然已处于日薄西山的衰败阶段。上流社会的中坚力量是以明戈特家族、纽兰家族、奇弗斯家族为代表的名门望族,他们的祖辈都是来自英国或荷兰的富商,早年在殖民地发迹,成为有身份有地位的人物。比如纽兰·阿切尔的一位曾外祖父曾参与过独立宣言的签署,还有一位曾在华盛顿部下任将军。正如阿切尔太太所说的,“纽约从来就是个商业社会”,占支配地位的是这些殷实的富商。处于金字塔底部的是富有却不显贵的人们,他们多数是内战之后崛起的新富,凭借雄厚的财力,通过联姻而跻身上流社会。作者从亲身经历与熟悉的环境中提炼素材,塑造人物,将作品题材根置于深厚的现实土壤中。尤其通过博福特命运浮沉这一线索与主人公爱情悲剧的主线相互映衬,使一个看似寻常的爱情故事具备了深刻的社会现实意义。
3 白鲸——梅尔维尔
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
《白鲸》是美国十九世纪浪漫主义小说家梅尔维尔的代表作。在美国文学史和世界文学史上,《白鲸》都是一部经典的著作,一部伟大的小说,是研究美国文学的一部必读书。《白鲸》展示给我们的是船长亚哈为追杀白鲸带领佩阔德号及其般员为复仇而走向毁灭的过程。书中以象征主义及寓言体的写作方式向我们展示了一部十九世纪美国的真实画面。从人与自然的抗争中亚哈的悲剧,人与人的关系中所体现的悲剧两个角度可以揭示《白鲸》所表现的时代特征及所蕴涵的悲剧实质。
4 红字——纳撒尼尔·霍桑
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
19世纪美国浪漫主义作家霍桑的长篇小说。创作于1851年。小说以两百多年前的殖民地时代的美洲为题材,但揭露的却是19世纪资本主义发展时代美利坚合众国社会典法的残酷、宗教的欺骗和道德的虚伪。主人公海丝特被写成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表里不一的丁梅斯代尔,同时也在感化着充满罪恶的社会。至于她的丈夫奇林渥斯,小说则把他写成了一个一心只想窥秘复仇的影子式的人物。他在小说中只起情节铺垫的作用。
小说惯用象征手法,人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩,在描写中又常把人的心理活动和直觉放在首位。因此,它不仅是浪漫主义小说的代表作,同时也被称作是美国心理分析小说的开创篇。
5 最后的莫希干人——库柏
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
《最后的莫希干人》是《皮裹腿故事集》中最出色的一部。故事发生在十八世纪五十年代末期,英法两国为争夺北美殖民地而进行的“七年战争”的第三年,地点是在赫德森河的源头和乔治湖一带。对于印第安人的被杀戮和印第安部落的消亡,作者的心情是十分沉重的,他深深怀着同情和愤慨。他写道:“莫希干人的领土,是被欧洲人侵占去的美洲大陆的第一块地盘,因而,莫希干人就第一个成了离乡背井的人。面临着文明的推进,也可以说,文明的入侵,所有印第安部落的人民,就像他们故土林木上的绿叶在刺骨的严寒侵凌下纷纷坠地一样,日益消亡,看来这已成为落到他们头上的不可避免的命运。有足够的历史事实可以证明,这幅惨像并非虚妄之作。”
作者把本书取名为《最后的莫希干人》,就有着令人心酸的悲哀音调。正直、勇敢的莫希干人恩卡斯和美丽善良的科拉之死,也不无更深的寓意:随着他们的死去,他们心灵上的那种美德和纯洁的感情也消亡了,留下的只是笼罩在美洲大地上的那些贪婪、残暴的恶意和邪念。
6 小妇人——路易莎·奥尔科特
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
这部小说以家庭生活为描写对象,以家庭成员的感情纠葛为线索,描写了马奇一家的天伦之爱。马奇家的四姐妹中,无论是为了爱情甘于贫困的梅格,还是通过自己奋斗成为作家的乔,以及坦然面对死亡的贝思和以扶弱为己任的艾米,虽然她们的理想和命运都不尽相同,但是她们都具有自强自立的共同特点。描写了她们对家庭的眷恋;对爱的忠诚以及对亲情的渴望。马奇一家有四个姐妹,生活清贫、简单而又温馨。四组妹性格迥异;老大梅格漂亮端庄,有些爱慕虚荣;老二乔自由独立,渴望成为作家,老三贝丝善良羞涩,热爱音乐,老四埃米聪慧活泼,爱好艺术,希望成为一名上流社会的“淑女”。
所有时代的所有少女成长过程中所要面对的经历的,都可以在这本书中找到:初恋的甜蜜和烦恼,感情与理智的译,理想和现实的差距,贫穷与富有的矛盾。
7 野性的呼唤——杰克·伦敦
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
《野性的呼唤》是杰克·伦敦最负盛名的小说。故事主要叙述一只强壮勇猛的狼狗巴克从人类文明社会回到狼群原始生活的过程。巴克是一头体重140磅的十分强壮的狗。他本来在一个大法官家里过着优裕的生活,后来被法官的园丁偷走,辗转卖给邮局,又被送到阿拉斯加严寒地区去拉运送邮件的雪橇。巴克最初被卖给两个法裔加拿大人。这些被买来的狗不仅受到了冷酷的人类的虐待,而且在狗之间为了争夺狗群的领导权,也无时不在互相争斗、残杀。由于体力超群、机智勇敢,巴克最终打败斯比茨成为狗群的领队狗。他先后换过几个主人,最后被约翰·索顿收留。那是在巴克被残暴的主人哈尔打得遍体鳞伤、奄奄一息时,索顿救了他,并悉心为他疗伤。在索顿的精心护理下巴克恢复得很快,由此他们之间产生了真挚的感情。巴克对索顿非常忠诚,他两次不顾生命危险救了索顿的命,并在索顿和别人打赌时,拼命把一个载有一千磅盐的雪橇拉动,为索顿赢了一大笔钱。不幸的是,在淘金的过程中,索顿被印第安人杀死。狂怒之下,巴克咬死了几个印第安人,为主人报了仇。这时恩主已死,他觉得对这个人类社会已无所留恋。况且,一段时期以来,荒野中总回荡着一个神秘的呼唤声。这个声音吸引着他。最终,他回应着这个声音,进入森林,从此与狼为伍,过着原始动物的生活。但他不忘旧谊,仍然定期到主人的葬身之处去凭吊。
8 汤姆叔叔的小屋——哈里特·比彻·斯托
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
出生于康涅狄格州的斯托夫人,是哈特福德女子学院(Hartford Female Academy)的一名教师,同时,她也是一位积极的废奴主义者。全书围绕着一位久经苦难的黑奴汤姆叔叔的故事展开,并描述了他与他身边人——均为奴隶与奴隶主——的经历。这部感伤小说深刻地描绘出了奴隶制度残酷的本质;并认为基督徒的爱可以战胜由奴役人类同胞所带来的种种伤害。
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这部小说是19世纪最畅销的小说(以及第二畅销的书,仅次于最畅销的书《圣经》)并被认为是刺激1850代废奴主义兴起的一大原因。在它发表的头一年里,在美国本土便销售出了三十万册。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》对美国社会的影响是如此巨大,以致在南北战争爆发的初期,当林肯接见斯托夫人时,曾说到:“你就是那位引发了一场大战的小妇人。”后来,这句话为众多作家竞相引用。
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》以及受其启发而写作出的各种剧本,还促进了大量黑人刻板印象的产生,不少的这些形象在当今都为人们所熟知。譬如慈爱善良的黑人保姆、黑小孩的原型、以及顺从、坚忍并忠心于白人主人的汤姆叔叔。最近几十年来,《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中的这些消极成分,已在一定程度上弱化了这本书作为“重要的反奴隶制工具”的历史作用。
『玖』 狄更斯小说《大卫科波菲尔》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.
