六大经典文学人物及其原型 六大经典文学人物及其原型 　　Long John SilverWilliam Ernest Henley 　　朗约翰希尔弗的原型：威廉欧内斯特亨利 　　When Robert Louis Stevenson was trying to come up with a good villain for Treasure Island， he was inspired by his friend， William Ernest Henley， an English poet， critic and editor， a jovial fellow who had had his left leg amputated from the knee after a childhood bout of tuberculosis. After the publication of Treasure Island， Stevenson wrote to his friend，I will now make a confession. It was the sight of your maimed strength and masterfulness that begot Long John Silver...the idea of the maimed man， ruling and dreaded by the sound， was entirely taken from you. 　　当罗伯特路易斯史蒂文森为小说《金银岛》中的大恶棍形象绞尽脑汁时，他想到了自己的朋友威廉欧内斯特亨利英国诗人、批评家兼编辑。年幼时，这个乐天派在一次肺结核发作后，左腿膝盖以下被截肢。《金银岛》出版后，史蒂文森写信给亨利说：我现在可以实话告诉你，正是你的残缺和专横让我塑造出了朗约翰希尔弗塑造这个身有残缺、讲话令人畏惧且极具支配性的男人形象的灵感完全来自你。 　　Ebenezer ScroogeJohn Elwes 　　埃比尼泽斯克鲁奇的原型：约翰埃尔威斯 　　Evidence suggests that Charles Dickens based legendary miser Ebenezer Scrooge on the 18th century politician John Elwes， who had inherited a fortune but was loath to spend a single penny， preferring to live as if in poverty， squatting in empty apartments. Whether he went around muttering bah humbug， we really cant say. 　　有证据表明，查尔斯狄更斯笔下那个大名鼎鼎的守财奴埃比尼泽斯克鲁奇的原型原来是18世纪的政客约翰埃尔威斯。此人虽然继承了大笔财产，却宁愿像穷人一样生活，偷偷住在空荡荡的公寓里，不舍得花掉一个子儿。至于他是否逢人便骂呸，骗子，我们真的不得而知。 　　AliceAlice Liddell 　　爱丽丝的原型：爱丽丝利德尔 　　Famously， Alice Liddell was the inspiration and namesake for Lewis Carrolls childrens classic Alices Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll， then known as Charles Dodgson， was close with the Liddell family， and when 10-year-old Alice begged for a story， Dodgson began to spin his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. Unlike previous stories he had told her， she asked him to write it down. The rest， as they say， is history. 　　众所周知，爱丽丝利德尔就是刘易斯卡罗尔的经典儿童文学名著《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》中的同名人物原型。刘易斯卡罗尔，本名查尔斯道奇森，与利德尔一家关系甚密。因为10岁的爱丽丝缠着要听故事，道奇森便给她编起那个关于爱丽丝的著名故事，以及爱丽丝坠入兔子洞后的经历。以前爱丽丝只是听听而已，但这次她却要道奇森把讲的这个故事
