Flipped怦然心动 英文原版

02.

The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. She says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down. And just as he’s thinking there’s more to her than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed.This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny new voices. Wendelin Van Draanen is at her best here with a knockout cast of quirky characters and a hilarious series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But underlying the humor are two teens in transition. They are each learning to look beyond the surface of people, both figuring out who they are, who they want to be, and who they want to be with.

朱莉安娜·贝克虔诚地相信三件事:树是圣洁的,特别是她最爱的无花果树;她在后院里饲养的鸡下的蛋是最卫生的;总有一天她会和布莱斯·罗斯基接吻。二年级时,在看到布莱斯蓝眼睛的那一瞬间,朱莉的心就被他击中了。不幸的是,布莱斯对她从来都没有感觉。而且,他认为朱莉有点怪,怎么会有人把养鸡和坐在树上看成乐趣呢?没想到,到了八年级,布莱斯开始觉得朱莉不同寻常的兴趣和对于家庭的自豪感使她显得很有魅力。而朱莉则开始觉得布莱斯漂亮的蓝眼睛也许和他本人一样,其实很空洞。毕竟,怎么会有人不把别人对树和鸡的感觉当回事呢? 文德琳·范·德拉安南编著的《怦然心动》是在网络获得极高赞誉的电影《怦然心动》的同名原著,描述了青春期中男孩女孩之间的有趣战争。

The Catcher in the Rye麦田里的守望者 英文原版

04.

Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories—particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme—With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is fully of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story.Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

《麦田里的守望者》的主人公霍尔顿是个中学生,出身于富裕中产阶级的十六岁少年,在第四次被开除出学校之后,不敢贸然回家,只身在美国最i繁华的纽约城游荡了一天两夜,住小客店,逛夜总会,泡妞,酗酒……他看到了资本主义社会的种种丑恶,接触了各式各样的人物,其中大部分是“假模假式的”伪君子。霍尔顿几乎看不惯周围发生的一切,他甚至想逃离这个现实世界,到穷乡僻壤去假装一个又聋又哑的人,但要真正这样做,又是不可能的,结果他只能生活在矛盾之中:他这一辈子最痛恨电影,但百无聊赖中又不得不在电影院里消磨时间;他厌恶没有爱情的性关系,却又糊里糊涂地叫来了应召女郎;他讨厌虚荣庸俗的女友萨丽,却又迷恋她的美色,总情不自禁地与她搂搂抱抱。因此,他尽管看不惯世道,却只好苦闷、彷惶,用种种不切实际的幻想安慰自己,自欺欺人,最后仍不免对现实社会妥协,成不了真正的叛逆,这可以说是作者塞林格和他笔下人物霍尔顿的悲剧所在。
