美丽童话

章节摘录

traveler wearied from a long journey laydown, overcome with fatigue, on the very brink of adeep well. Just as he was about to fall into the water,Dame Fortune, it is said, appeared to him and wakinghim from his slumber thus addressed him: “Good Sir, pray wake up: for if youfall into the well, the blame will be thrown on me, and I shall get an ill nameamong mortals; for I find that men are sure to impute their calamities to me,however much by their own folly they have really brought them onthemselves.”Everyone is more or less master of his own fate.learned man has always a fund of riches in himself.Simonides, who wrote such excellent lyric poems, the more easily tosupport his poverty, began to make a tour of the celebrated cities of Asia,singing the praises of victors for such reward as he might receive. After he hadbecome enriched by this kind of gain, he resolved to return to his native land bysea; for he was born, it is said, in the island of Ceos.Accordingly he embarked in a ship, which a dreadful tempest, togetherwith its own rottenness, caused to wreck at sea. Some gathered together theirgirdles, others their precious effects, which formed the support of theirexistence. One who was over-inquisitive, remarked, “Are you going to savenone of your property, Simonides？” He made reply, “All my possessions areabout me.”A few only made their escape by swimming, for the majority, beingweighed down by their burdens, perished. Some thieves too made theirappearance, and seized what each person had saved, leaving him naked.Clazomenae, an ancient city, chanced to be near; to which the shipwreckedpersons repaired. Here a person devoted to the pursuits of literature, who hadoften read the lines of Simonides, and——was a very great admirer of him thoughhe had never seen him, knowing from his very language who he was, receivedhim with the greatest pleasure into his house, and fumished him with clothes,money, and attendants. The others meanwhile were carrying about theirpictures, begging for victuals. Simonides chanced to meet them; and, as soon ashe saw them, remarked: “I told you that all my property was about me; whatyou have endeavoured to save is lost.”

前言

在远古时代，诗人们和编故事的人们构想了许多关于公主与王子、魔鬼与天使、国王与平民、动物与智者、美女与勇士等传说，这些故事由一代代人口述着流传下来。后来人们把它们变成了文字，这些奇妙的故事就被记录下来。这些被记录下来的故事一般是寓言故事、神话传说、历史故事和名人传奇等，它们传诵的主要对象是青少年，是每个民族文化记忆中的核心内容，它们可以统称为童话。它们以口承和文字形式代代相传绵绵不绝，既延续着一个个历久弥新的故事与文本的记载，同时也传递着一种精神的力量。世界上几乎每一个国家都重视对本国青少年的童话教育，特别是源于世界各地的著名童话故事教育，如中国的“花木兰”、丹麦的“丑小鸭”、德国的“小红帽”、古希腊的“农夫和蛇”等。基于以上原因，我们认为编写源于世界各地的美丽童话故事读本，对加强当代中国青少年学生素质教育和人文修养是非常有帮助的。作为世界童话宝库的一部分，本书内容取材于古希腊寓言大师伊索、法国寓言与童话大师拉封丹、俄罗斯寓言大师克雷洛夫和爱尔兰童话大师王尔德等的西方经典童话与寓言故事。这些美丽的故事之所以被选入本书，不仅因为它们具有内在美，具有鲜明的西方特点，而且是因为它们为世界传说与神话文学宝库增添了无限的微型机。阅读本书，让我们不得不惊叹古人的美妙想象和活动。这些故事不仅在于内容的经典性和表达的完美性，而且要蕴含文化的理念和价值，让人们得到人文的熏陶，青少年读者可以从中得到有益的启示。国内也曾有此类书出版，但主要集中在两个方面：一种是中文翻译版，另一种是中英文对照版。而其中的中英文对照读本比较受青少年读者的欢迎，这主要是得益于中国人热衷于学习英文的大环境。从英文学习的角度来看，直接使用纯英文的学习资料更有利于英语学习。考虑到对英文内容背景的了解有助于英文阅读，使用中文导读应该是一种比较好的方式，也可以说是该类型书的第三种版本形式。采用中文导读而非中英文对照的方式进行编排，这样有利于国内读者摆脱对英文阅读依赖中文注释的习惯。在中文导读中，我们尽力使其贴近原作的精髓，也尽可能保留原作风格。我们希望能够编出为当代中国青少年读者所喜爱的经典读本。读者在阅读英文故事之前，可以先阅读中文导读内容，这样有利于了解故事背景，从而加快阅读速度。本书主要内容由王勋、纪飞编译。参加本书故事素材搜集整理及编译工作的还有郑佳、刘乃亚、赵雪、左新杲、黄福成、冯洁、徐鑫、马启龙、王业伟、王旭敏、陈楠、王多多、邵舒丽、周丽萍、王晓旭、李永振、孟宪行、熊红华、胡国平、熊建国、徐平国、王小红等。限于我们的文学素养和英语水平，书中难免会有不当之处，衷心希望读者朋友批评指正。
