作者Elizabeth Barrett Browning[伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁]于公元1806年出生在达翰姆(英格兰北部一郡)。她是英国十九世纪著名女诗人,她的诗都是夫妻之间酬和之作。她十五岁脊骨受伤,在遇见罗伯特.白朗宁之后奇迹般痊愈。两人相遇相知并相爱的经历是英国文学史上的一段佳话。 How do I love thee 我如何爱你 —— Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 我如何爱你?听我细述端详: I love thee to the depth and breadth and height 爱你,以心灵所能及的宽广 My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 让感情超越现实而隐藏 For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. 直到万物不复,抵达理想中的殿堂。 I love thee to the level of everyday's 爱你,是我每一天最静谧的渴望 Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. 从日出时分到摇曳的烛光 I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; 尽情的爱你,一如人们追求正义 I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. 无邪的爱你,一如人们谢绝赞扬 I love thee with a passion put to use 爱你,我用尽所有旧时的悲伤 In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. 还有儿时纯净的信仰。 I love thee with a love I seemed to lose 爱你,尽我此生所有的呼吸、欢笑和 With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, 眼泪!——若上帝允许, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, 来世,我依然爱你,而且更深! I shall but love thee better after death. ——It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. ——众所周知,一个拥有美好前程的单身男青年需要的就是一名能与他相匹配的妻子。 ——“Pride and prejudice” was superficially a love comedy. But it actually explained that only by action and introspection can have the hope and the true love; and also the dignity of a person which was as well built up by action and introspection was not inherent ——Pride and prejudice were two weaknesses in our humanity which was easily distorted. And in the way of pursuing love, we should not be controlled by these shortages, but to keep our own faiths and feelings. ——Whether the marriage is a happiness one depended on whether they truly love and know each other. Falling in love at first sight is indeed more romantic than the long-term love. But we can not deny the fact the long-term coexistence will surely bring both of you to a better understanding and a deeper affection. 《傲慢与偏见》故事主要说的是十八世纪在英国发生的四门婚姻。其中最主要的,自然是发生在女主角伊丽莎白·班纳特与男主角费茨威廉·达西之间的爱恨情仇。伊丽莎白是个勇于追求爱情、漂亮聪明、坚强可爱的中产阶级女子;而男主角个性的傲慢,伊丽莎白第一眼看到男主角达西就是不顺眼的。达西代表着“傲慢”,伊丽莎白代表着“偏见”, 而开始的时候,伊丽莎白一直活在自己的偏见之下,而忽略思考事实的真相,经过达西的解释和自己的判断,才最终找到幸福的归宿。 傲慢与偏见,是我们很常见的弱点和毛病。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使,因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解,进而造成了彼此之间的误会。一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事,但并非一定不会改变,要有更加深入的了解,才能有更客观一点的论点,就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法,就是因为了解才有所改变。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/097eec19ff00bed5b9f31dad.html
