包法利夫人（英文版）

她从未真正爱过任何人，她爱的只是“爱”本身这个念头。 这念头像一株寄生植物，吸干了她的日子，也吸干了那个叫查理·包法利的男人的一生。她嫌他笨拙，嫌他庸常，嫌他喝汤时发出声响、用舌头清洁牙齿——可她不知道，正是这双手，在她每一次病中守到天亮，在她每一次任性后默默填平亏空。他那么交付身心的信任她，只要她说的他就相信。他的呵护不是主动给予，而是有求必应，他甚至不敢趴在床沿睡觉，怕那微小的凹陷会使她陷入坠入深渊的噩梦。 而她把这叫作平庸。 罗多夫出现的时候，她以为自己终于活过来了。其实她只是换了一种死法——死在情人的甜言蜜语里，死在赊账购买的华服里，死在每一次偷情后更深的空虚里。那男人爱的从来不是她，是她投向他的崇拜目光。就像镜子不会爱上照镜子的人，它只是享受被注视的快感。当她需要他付账单的时候，他才露出真面目：你凭什么要求一个猎艳者为你的人生负责？ 莱昂更年轻，也更怯懦。她教会了他如何爱一个女人，然后看着他拿着这套本事去爱别人。年轻男孩的爱情像蜡烛，烧得旺，灭得快。 只有查理，那个被她嫌弃了一辈子的男人，在她死后一笔一笔还清她欠下的债，把她卖掉的首饰一件一件赎回。他活成了她的影子，最后死在花园的长椅上，手里攥着一绺她的头发。 她至死都不知道自己拥有过什么。 女儿贝尔特被她推开过多少次？嫌她碍事，嫌她吵闹，嫌她打断了自己的欢愉。可当她躺在那里再也睁不开眼的时候，是这个被她推开的孩子，趴在床边问：“妈妈，你的眼睛为什么这么大？” 那眼泪终于从她眼角滑落，可已经太迟了。 说到底，她不是坏人，她只是太相信自己值得更好的生活。她不知道的是，更好的生活从来不在别处，不在子爵的华尔兹里，不在情人的怀抱里，不在那些她永远挤不进去的沙龙里。它就在那个每天回家把工资袋交给她的人身上，在那个被她嫌弃了一辈子却爱了她一辈子的人身上。 她死于砒霜，也死于欲望，死于幻想，死于那个永远填不满的空洞。 我们每个人心中都住着一个包法利夫人——渴望更好、追求更多、不甘平庸。但真正的智慧在于：在追求更好的同时，不轻视已有的美好；在向往远方时，不遗忘身边人的温暖；在怀揣梦想时，不忘脚踏实地。 可惜她选了另一条路。 而那条路，至今还有人在走。

终于找到我要读的书了，以前我看不下去英文小说，但是现在我可以了，我现在对所有的中文书都厌了，没有耐心看下去，但是这英文书可以让我有耐心看下去了。我刚看了个开头，我只能说写的太好太好，文学手法细腻、写实，而且传达了很深刻的内容。

这本书翻译有错误 电子排版也不好 并不针对内容

“You forget everything. The hours slip by. You travel in your chair through centuries you seem to see before you, your thoughts are caught up in the story, dallying with the details or following the course of the plot, you enter into characters, so that it seems as if it were your own heart beating beneath their costumes.”

包法利夫人 经典语录 《包法利夫人》是法国作家福楼拜的代表作，其中包含了许多经典语录，反映了主人公爱玛的内心世界和对生活的深刻感悟。以下是一些精选的经典语录： 关于爱情与婚姻 “她爱大海，只是为了海上的汹涌波涛；她爱草地，只是因为青草点缀了断壁残垣。她要求事物投她所好；凡是不能立刻满足她心灵需要的，她都认为没有用处；她多愁善感，而不倾心艺术，她寻求的是主观的情，而不是客观的景。” “她以为爱情应当骤然来临，电光闪闪，雷声隆隆，仿佛九霄云外的狂飙，吹过人世，颠覆生命，席卷意志，如同席卷落叶一般，把心整个带往深渊。” 关于生活与理想 “生活好似天窗朝北的阁楼那样冷，而烦闷就像默不作声的蜘蛛，在暗地结网，爬过她的心的每个角落。” “日复一日，如今仿佛不断头的线，真要这样继续下去，永远一模一样，数又数不清，什么也带不来！” 关于自我与成长 “她自以为在屋子里可以高枕无忧，殊不知墙壁上已经出现了裂缝。” “她嫌自己软弱；羞愧慢慢变成怨恨；癫狂又使怨恨减轻。” 关于社会与人性 “结婚以前，她以为自己有爱情；可是应当从这种爱情得到的幸福不见来，她想，一定是自己弄错了。欢愉、热情和迷恋这些字眼，从前在书上读到，她觉得那样美，那么在生活中，到底该怎样正确理解呢，爱玛极想知道。” “她站在门槛，找来她的阳伞，撑开了。阳伞是缎子做的，鸽子咽喉颜色，阳光穿过，闪闪烁烁，照亮脸上的白净皮肤。天气不冷不热，她在伞底下微笑；他们听见水点，一滴又一滴，打着紧绷绷的闪缎。”

包法利夫人不是死于爱情，而是死于自己的幻想。她有一定的美学素养和品味，她渴望在日常生活中运用她的美学理念，但是成长环境使得她并不知道如何让她的欲望和幻想成为现实，所以她把她所有美好的幻想倾注于爱情，以为她自己想要的是爱情。所以，当爱情幻灭的时候，她的人生也就幻灭了。         这个故事深刻的告诉了我们，人要认识自己，了解自己的欲望。同时不要不切实际，而是要脚踏实地。要理性，理性，理性。要结合实际，努力把自己的所思所想变成实际，而不是永远活在幻想里面。

There is no one righteous, not even one 没有义人 一个也没有 Monsieur Bovary Charles was a very dull person, when he was very young his parents knew this, so they sent him to learn at a medical school and become a doctor. After that they also arranged a marriage with a widow who was very elder than Charles only for her wealth. Charles didn’t have any feelings about his wife and his mother also had lot arguments with her, there was not many years they lived together his wife was passed away. Emma was a really pretty girl of a farmer, her favourite thing was reading romantic novel and eager her own romantic love. At one stormy night, her father broke his leg, and Monsieur Bovary take some dangerous and cured his father’s leg carefully. In return his father decided to marry his daughter to Charles who was deeply crashed by Emma. Emma became Madam Bovary in the daze. Actually Charles loved Emma very much, may said it was spoiled her. Whatever Emma want, Charles always satisfied her by his best but the romantic love. After having a daughter who was also take over by nurse, Emma was falling in love with Leon who was a selfish and cowardly notary, he was young and can’t accepted such love, so Leon escaped to the big city to continue his study. Rodolphe, a veteran in love, was attracted by Emma‘s beauty and deliberately seduced her. Emma was so naive to thought that as the true love, she brought lots of gifts to Rodolphe, that made she owned big debts. When she want eloped with Rodolphe, he wrote a letter with some excuse and ran away. After that Emma was really sick, so Charles took her to the theatre to make her happy. At there they met Leon again. Because of long-term apart then meet again and recovered from the disaster, that all made Emma more crazy about love. She looked for any chance to meet her lover even to lie, she spent lots of money to buy luxury gift even to make more debts and sell her husband’s old house. But debts by debts made an huge unaffordable amount. The businessman who trapped Emma was is going to auction all her belongings. Emma asked Leon to misappropriated funds. Sure was refused because it’s criminal. Then she went to asked her former lover Rudolphe, but he didn’t have such amounts. Of course if he have he wouldn’t willingly to help her. There was no way for her but only swallow arsenic. After her death, everybody includes the druggist,chemist,priest knew the reason of Emma’s death, but they all pretend she was a good wife and mother, meanwhile they didn’t give up anything and money that Emma owned. Even her servant stole her clothes and ran away. What hypocritical people they were. Only the poor daughter Berthe, after her farther and grandmother passed away, was adopted by her aunt, who was poor too,and send Berthe to a cotton-factory to earn a living. It’s undoubted that Madam Bovary was a tragedy woman, she was a spoiled never grown up girl, although she was a wife and mother, she didn’t know how to be her new identity, she still lived inside of romantic love stories, nobody waked her from such dream, her lovers played with her for her beauty, business man for her money. The same as Monsieur Bovary, although he had two marriage, he never knew how to be a husband, he loved Emma very much, may it can be said it’s a kind of adore, He doesn‘t understand romance and can’t give Emma the love and life she wants. He didn’t admit Emma‘s affair and only deceived himself. That all made Emma went further and farther until the death took them apart. This book make me very angry with all the characters the author made, may it’s his success. Only I want to say about this book is the title of this book review, that’s also a famous sentence in the Bible:”There is no one righteous, not even one(没有义人 一个也没有).” 读这本书还有一个原因，是最近有不少文章对以前的一些翻译家提出很多质疑，而本书也是其中被诟病比较多的一本。但我不懂法语，读了英译本，在最初的一些笔记里也对英语部分有些不解，于是读了李健吾的译本。对于一个退休了的工科生，半吊子的文学知识，半吊子的英语水平，无论如何都不敢妄论大翻译家的作品，不过我也半吊子地把每一本译文都翻看了一下，（许渊冲，周克希和李金平，微信读书里所有的版本）。有些议论特别多的也比较了一下，但还真分不出特别的高下，似乎都比较有每个人的特色，尤其是李健吾作为第一个译者，而且当时的新文化运动才刚开始，如果读那个时期的其他书，同样有一些半文言的感觉，有些物品可能当时的中国也没有，如服装之类，而法国人特别是作者又有很多对服装等的描写，无论英语还是中文，我都读的累啊，但也不能就此就说翻译不行吧。倒是现代小说，有些翻译真的太差（《世界的凛冬》的翻译简直让我失望透顶。）

婚姻向来是平凡琐碎的，不能总活在自己的浪漫童话幻象里，可以把生活过成诗，而不是一直活在诗里…… Be real be true,you can be brave to chase sth,but don’t be too selfish to ruin other’s life and future ~all that is extraordinary is ultimately fade into ordinary,the life is truly fulfilled,only when you learn to cherish and live well the plain days .

为什么法国人写的东西要上架英文版的
