[英]奥斯卡·王尔德
《快乐王子》讲述了生前不知忧愁为何物的快乐王子死后目睹种种人世间的苦难,和燕子牺牲自我帮助他人的故事。故事勾勒的城市是维多利亚时期英国社会的缩影,王尔德把在真实社会中发生的种种丑恶现象揉入故事中,对当时冷酷的社会进行了无情的鞭挞和揭露,对于富有同情心的快乐王子与燕子对社会底层人的慈善救济活动和他们最终的失败寄予了深切的同情,同时也通过故事本身暗示了作者的理想社会制度倾向,也从根本上质疑了当时社会的道德原则。
快乐王子这个名字听起来感觉是个开心的童话。结果在过程中,燕子一点点地把王子身上值钱的东西都叼走去救济穷人。看起来好残忍。还好,王子一直有燕子的陪伴。
One really perfect is not what he has, but what he is.
🫅💙💜 Small and insignificant sad love life is very long, great love and great sadness was destroyed by its rich too strong. ———————— 📙Beauty and tragedy coexist: Wilde is known as the creator of "the most beautiful fairy tale in the world". With gorgeous language and complicated images, it often ends with a sad and mournful ending. It is commented that "really beautiful things are sad". The founder of adult fairy tales: Wilde said bluntly, "My fairy tales are not written for children, but for people who still have a child's heart between the ages of 18 and 80." 💛🧡🤎 __________ 🤴High above the city, on a column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was covered with fine gold leaves, had two bright sapphires for his eyes, and a large red ruby on his sword hilt. He was very much admired. 🏰Now that I’m dead they have put me so high I can see all the misery of my city, and I cannot help but weep. 🦤The swallow pecked the ruby from the Prince’s sword and flew to the boy. He was tossing feverishly and his mother had fallen asleep. He laid the ruby beside her, then fanned the boy’s forehead with his wings. 🤴So he plucked out the Prince’s other eye and swooped past the match-girl. He slipped the jewel into her hand and she ran home laughing. 💎I am covered with gold. You must take it off, leaf by leaf, and give it to the poor. 【译文:】📚 🤴💙💜渺小的忧伤和渺小的爱寿命很长,伟大的爱和伟大的忧伤却毁于自身的过于丰富强烈。 ———————— 📙唯美与悲剧并存:王尔德被誉为“世界上最美的童话”缔造者,语言华丽、意象繁复,却常以凄美、哀婉的结局收束,被评论为“真正美的东西都是让人忧伤的”。 • 成人童话的开创者:王尔德直言“我的童话不是写给孩子的,是为十八到八十岁之间仍保有童心的人所写”。 ——————— 🤴在城市的高高,在一根柱子上,矗立着幸福王子的雕像。 他身上覆盖着精美的金箔,眼睛上有两颗明亮的蓝宝石,剑柄上有一颗大红宝石。 他非常受人钦佩。 🏰现在我死了,他们把我放得如此之高,我可以看到我城市的所有痛苦,我忍不住要哭。 🦤燕子从王子的剑上啄了啄红宝石,飞向男孩。 他发烧地辗了辗,他母亲睡着了。 他把红宝石放在她旁边,然后用翅膀扇了扇男孩的额头。 🤴因此,他拔出王子的另一只眼睛,从火柴女孩身上俯冲过。 他把珠宝塞进她手里,她笑着跑回家。 💎我浑身是金子。 你必须把它一页一页地摘下来,然后把送给我贫穷的子民。 —————— -【知识点】📚 Happy Prince可以非常好感觉在读后续写中使用的倒装的魅力 🌟High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince” 🌟 One night there flew over the city a little Swallow. 🌟Round the garden ran a very lofty wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it. 鸟的动作的描述 ⭐️Swoop down over the building 俯冲 🌟Flap his wings 拍打翅膀 ⭐️The flutter of the birds' wings 拍打翅膀的声音 dart across the street 向街道飞奔过去 ⭐️the stars and stripes = the American flag”,“lowing = sound made by a cow”等等等等,加强对英语和英语文化及相关习俗的了解,实为一举多得 ⭐️The nightingale pressed closer against the thorn...
单看书名,我原本以为故事是围绕快乐的王子展开,事实虽然相关,却完全出乎我的意料。 故事里最大的反差就是快乐王子本身,他明明叫快乐王子,实际上却一点都不快乐。 这个故事核心想表达的就是善良与博爱,在这个世界上,这两样东西是为数不多的美好。
very touching in the end
Reading " The Happy Prince " by Oscar Wilde evokes profound emotion . It narrates a tale of selfless giving and compassion , teaching us the value of empathy and sacrifice . The poignant ending leaves a lasting impression , urging readers to contemplate the genuine meaning of happiness and the importance of altruism in our lives .
去火车站的路上刚好能读完,王尔德真会写,太令人动容了!已经在追求信仰和真理的轨道上时,献身只是自然而然的事。
