前言
中国英语学习者一直在被称为“考试文化”的怪圈中徘徊。虽然花费了大量的时间和精力,但许多英语学习者的英语能力只停留在应付各种考试的水平上,另有一些英语学习者甚至连考试都望而生畏,就更谈不上以英语为工具进行交际了。即使许多英语学习者通过了某种考试,其交际能力仍然有限,在很多场合他们仍会不知所措。 造成以上局面的主要原因在于许多英语学习者很少阅读文学作品,没有受西方文化的熏陶,对西方社会习俗及人文知识知之甚少。 语言是文化的载体。文学作品历来被誉为语言的经典。要想真正学好英语,就必须阅读优秀的文学作品。然而,由于受英语水平的影响和时问的限制,中国英语学习者很难欣赏英文文学原著,从而在某种程度上限制了英语学习者学习英语的积极性和英语水平的提高。 为了提高广大英语学习者的英语学习兴趣及社会文化修养,我们上海交通大学外语学院几名酷爱外国文学的教授、副教授特精心遴选、编写了这套《红茶坊名著欣赏》。我们用简单而又不失原作风格的英语,配以文笔流畅的汉语译文,向读者展示了这几位世界顶级作家独具特色和风格的短篇小说的魅力,以期读者在学习英语语言的同时熟悉其历史背景、政治演变、经济发展;了解其社会习俗、人文心理及价值观念;品味人生,增强自己对人生意义的感悟,提高文学修养和人文素质。

章节摘录
would be ready. As for lunch, he pressed his hand against the package under his jacket. It was also under his shirt, wrapped up in a handkerchief and lying against the naked skin. It was the only way to keep the bread from freezing. He smiled contentedly to himself as he thought of those pieces of bread, each cut open and sopped in bacon grease, and each enclosing a generous slice of fried bacon. He plunged in among the big pine trees. The trail was not clean. A foot of snow had fallen since the last sled had passed by, and he was glad without a sled, traveling light. In fact, he carried nothing but the lunch wrapped in the handkerchief. He was surprised, however, at the cold. It certainly was cold, he concluded, as he rubbed his nose and face with his gloved hand. He was a warm-whiskered man, but the hair on his face did not protect the high cheekbones and the high nose from the frosty air. At the man s heels followed a dog, a big native dog. It was a wolf-dog, gray-coated and without any difference from its brother, the wild wolf. The animal was depressed by the great cold. It knew that it was no time for traveling. Its instinct told it a truer tale than was told to the man by the man s judgment. In reality it was not merely colder than fifty below zero; it was colder than sixty below, than seventy below. It was seventy-five below zero. Since the freezing point is thirty-two above zero, it meant that there were one hundred and seven degrees of frost. The dog did not know anything about thermometers . Possibly in its brain there was no understanding of a condition of such cold, such as was in the man s brain. But the animal had its instinct. Its fear made it question eagerly every movement of the man as if expecting him to go into a camp or to seek a shelter somewhere and build a fire. The dog had learned fire, and it wanted fire, or else it would dig itself into the snow and find its shelter from the cold air.
