5.2.2 Jane Austen Her works focus on practical social issues, especially marriage and money, ridiculing the silly, the affected and the stupid. She is noted for her vivid description and lively interplay of her characters, her superb sense of comic irony, and her moral firmness. 5.2.3 Bronte勃朗特 Sisters Bronte sisters: Charlotte (1816-1855)夏洛蒂·勃朗特 Jane Eyre (1847)简·爱 Emily (1818-1848)艾米莉·勃朗特 Wuthering Heights (1847)呼啸山庄 Anne (1820-1849) Agnes Grey艾格尼丝格雷 Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!-I have as much soul as you-and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal-as we are! 你以为我穷，低微，不漂亮，我就没有灵魂没有心吗？你想错了! 我和你一样有灵魂，有一颗完整的心！要是上帝赐予我一点姿色和充足的财富，我会使你难以离开我就如同我现在难以离开你一样，我现在不是依据习俗、常规，甚至也不是通过血肉之躯同你说话，而是我的灵魂同你的灵魂在对话，就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓，站在上帝脚下，彼此平等—— 本来就如此！” 5.2.4 George Eliot乔治·艾略特 George Eliot (1819-1880)—“philosophical writer” Adam Bede (1859)亚当·比德 The Mill on the Floss (1860)弗洛斯河上的磨坊 Silas Marner (1861)织工马南 Middlemarch (1871-1872)米德尔马契 Romola罗慕拉 · Felix Holt菲利克斯·霍尔特 Daniel Deronda丹尼尔·德龙拉 5.2.4 George Eliot乔治·艾略特 　　动物是挺棒的朋友，它们既不发问，也不批评。 　　一位自高自大的人，就像是一只公鸡，它以为太阳上升，是为了聆听它的啼声。 　　原文:As conceited man is like the cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow. 　　我不但喜欢被人爱，还喜欢有人告诉爱上了我；沉默的领域，大得足以超出了坟墓。 　　原文:I like not only to be loved, but to be told I am loved. The realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. 5.2.5 Thomas Hardy托马斯·哈代 Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) The Return of the Native (1878)还乡 The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886)卡斯特桥市长 Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891)德伯家的苔丝 Jude the Obscure (1895)无名的裘德 · A Pair of Blue Eyes一双蓝眼睛 ·
