简·奥斯汀
小说女主人公是一个来自贵族家庭的女人,名字叫做安娜·艾略特。安娜一生没有结婚嫁人,她拒绝了爱她的人对她的求婚。这位所谓爱她的人是一个海军军官。安娜之所以拒绝他,是因为她听从了朋友们和家人对她的劝导,说这个海军军官并不适合她。安娜·艾略特是奥斯汀所有小说里年纪最大的女主人公,已经27岁了。在当时的英国社会,她已经失去了获得爱情的最佳年龄段。有很长一段时间,安娜就活在自己对夏天的回忆之中,同时也能感觉得到未来的日子像冬天般寒冷。
I love, love, love this book! I first read it in high school many years ago, and the story became a bit blurry over time. But I never forgot Anne—she’s always been my favorite Austen girl. Now, reading it in the original language feels like a “what if life were as it was at first sight” moment. I’ve rediscovered why I am so dearly fond of Anne. Though persuaded by her respected elders when she was young, she always knew what truly drew her. Her gentle and quiet nature makes it inevitable that she would fall in love with someone like Wentworth—spirited, passionate, and decisive. And when she realized she had another chance—however slim—she responded with fervor and determination. Anne is elegant, sweet, and reserved, but never overly coy or pretentious. She radiates the brilliance of feminism. She has a serene strength that carries her through. Once her feelings are certain, she is brave enough to rise above the noise. Time has given her wisdom, and with it, she has grown. Luckily, her lover did not falter—his love for her remained unwavering. Because she was, and always would be, worthy of it. P.S. Who can resist a classic tale of rekindled love? It really is meant to be ❤️.
