木偶奇遇记（英文版）

这是我第一次完整读完一本英语名著，虽然它是一本儿童读物，但立意确实还比较深刻。 建议有一点英语基础的朋友可以试试，读英文的感觉很不一样，一旦读进去了，你会感觉到毫无障碍，并被其不同的韵律带入进去，有一种通畅的快感。

英文版文辞简洁优美，插画精良，想象力丰富，虽然不乏说教和恐吓，但是把社会的黑暗面用寓言的形式描述出来，还是挺有创意的。ps. 不过不是这个版本的，微信阅读没找到那个版本，在图书馆借阅的。pps. 虽然是童书，但是还是有不少高级词汇

一个孩子的成长历程，虽然是寓言故事，但是对成人依然有教育启发意义。 勤奋，诚实，守信，善待家人，都应该是每个人应有的品质。

《木偶奇遇记》第一本英文原版书终于读完，生词不算多，值得再读2遍，二遍听读。 其作品意义也很深，鼓励诚实、走正道，读书，用劳动挣钱等。是非常优秀的儿童文学作品。值得一读。

What is done can't be undone. So come on and go on.

it is considered a canonical piece of children's literature and has inspired hundreds of new editions, stage plays, merchandising and movies, such as Walt Disney's iconic animated version and commonplace ideas such as a liar's long nose. According to extensive research done by the Fondazione Nazionale Cario Collodi in late 1990s and based on UNESCO sources, it has been adapted in over 260 languages worldwide. That makes it the most translated non-religious book in the world, and one of the best-selling book sever published. In recent years, the book has sold over 80 million copies, while the precise total sales arc unknown because of the many public domain re-releases since 1940. According to Francelia Butler, it remains "the most translated Italian book and, after the Bible, the most widely read".

Pinocchio was a marionette crafted from a piece of firewood. He is naughty and innocent about the world, making a lot of mistakes and getting into various troubles. In the process he aquired valuable lessons about famiy, friendship, trust and courage, as well as the significance of work and study. Eventually he grew into a real boy. His transformation was a testament to the power of learning, hard work and personal growth. If I have to say, the only thing that I believe this book needs some refinement is to minimize the explicitly boy-centric gender context when delivering its profound message that is considered to be universally applied regardless of gender, age or races. The reason I'm highlighting this is that in the process of reading this books, I have frequently noticed some gender-specific descriptions in those classic meaningful lines which is also what I mostly cherish about this book even as an adult reader. By making these adjustments, I'm confident that this adventure book can potentially break down certain gender stereotypes or clear up any misunderstandings, encouraging more children of all genders to be emotionally connected with the stories and find resonance with their own life experiences.

终于有一本看得懂的英语原版书，看着看着觉得这本书内容有点吓人，咬耳朵那里吓我一身疙瘩。 虽然是儿童文学，但是我们身上多少都有匹诺曹的缺点，只是故事里把内容写得夸张一点。都是不听劝告一意孤行摔了跟头后就后悔，早知道好好努力学习，就不会上当受骗。但是下一次遇到诱惑，又一头栽进去。 变驴那里不就是园区吗？好家伙，缅北那群人原来是从匹诺曹找到发财之道。 He took them with him to the Land of Toys and let them enjoy themselves to their heart's content. When, after months of all play and no work, they became little donkeys, he sold them on the market place. In a few years, he had become a millionaire. “Do you think, perhaps, my little Donkey, that I have brought you here only to give you food and drink? Oh, no! You are to help me earn some fine gold pieces, do you hear? ”

The only word I want to talk about the book is 'Brilliant'. When I first heard 'Pinocchio' from a girl--I called her 'two mouths'--I asked her stupidly:'Who is Pinocchio?'with a naive look.Now everything has gone with the wind,I just want to tell myself then'How silly you are!'

难怪流传千古，小小的故事，大大的道理
