爱到分离才相遇 ——《飘》经典语句

1.愿上帝保佑那个真正爱过你的人，你把他的心都揉碎了

2.Tomorrow is another day!(个人认为怎么翻译也没英文原句有意韵）

3.我从来不是那样的人,不能耐心的拾起一片碎片,把它们合在一起,然后对自己说这个修补好了的东西跟新的完全一样.一件东西破碎了就是破碎了,我宁愿记住它最好时的模样,而不想把它修补好,然后终生看着那些破碎了的地方.

4.即使是一种最坚贞不渝的爱也会被消磨掉。我对你的那份爱，早被卫希和你那股疯狂的固执劲给消磨没了。如果你能在半道上出来迎接我,我一定会跪在地上亲吻你的脚

5.你从不知道,我对你的爱已经到了男人对女人的极限

6. 亲爱的,我才不在乎呢

7.我一直照料你，宠爱你，你要什么我都给你。我想和你结婚，以保护你，让你处处自由，事事称心——就像后来我对美蓝那样。因为你曾经经历过一番拼搏，斯佳丽。没有谁比我更清楚地知道你曾受过怎样的磨难，所以我希望你能停止战斗，让我替你战斗下去。我想让你好好的玩耍，像个孩子似的好好玩耍—因为你确实是个孩子，一个受过惊吓但仍然勇敢而倔强的孩子。

8. 我爱你，可我不想让你知道。

你对那些爱你的人，太残忍了，斯佳丽。

你抓住他们的爱，像鞭子一样在他们头上挥舞”

9.我从来都不了解那两个男人，如果我了解希礼，我决不会爱上他；如果我了解瑞德，我决不会失去他。我真不知道在这个世界上我了解过谁。

没有信服就盲目顺从，是不尊重双方理智的表现——Darcy

我的爱和愿望没有改变,但只要你说一句话我就会永远沉默……

伊丽莎白：“为什么你上次来我家的时候都不大和我说话？”

达西：“如果爱你爱的少点，话就会多一点了。”

“你是从什么时候开始喜欢上我的？”

“当我发现自己爱上你时，我已经走了一半的路了。”

要是他没有触犯我的骄傲,我也很容易原谅他的骄傲

----ELIZEBETH

如果一个女人爱上一个男人，只要他不加刻意掩饰，对方一定会察觉的。

人活在世界上

除了被人嘲笑一番

再取笑别人以外还有什么意思呢？

－－－Liz's dad

女人的思维是跳跃性的！从爱慕到结婚...

跑过这趟路以后，那双眼睛更明亮了。

————达西

我格外尊重你的神经，它们已经成了我的老朋友。少说也近有二十年了，我经常听到你非常严肃地提到它们。

————班纳特先生You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

"How despicably I have acted!" she cried; "I, who have prided myself on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! How humiliating is this discovery! Yet, how just a humiliation! Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind! But vanity, not love, has been my folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself. " 



Elizabeth said so to herself when she was reflecting upon the letter of explanation by Darcy. This is the real turning point of the story.

Jane Austen's novels were witty, warm and ironic portraits of the privileged classes of 18th- and 19th-century England. Her best-known works are Emma (1815), Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Sense and Sensibility (1811), though due to the status of women authors at the time, most of her novels were published anonymously. Austen was one of eight children of an English clergyman, and given the accomplishments of her novels she lived a remarkably quiet and domestic life in the rural south of England. She never married and was only 41 when she died. The Pride and Prejudice heroine Elizabeth Bennet and her dashing suitor Mr. Darcy are one of the more famous couples in English fiction.



Austen has long been a favorite of Hollywood; recent movie adaptations include Pride and Prejudice (2005, with Keira Knightley), Emma (1996, with Gwyneth Paltrow) and Sense and Sensibility (1995, with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet). The 1995 Alicia Silverstone movie Clueless is considered a whimsical remake of Emma... The exact cause of Austen's early death has never been clear. In the last year of her life she suffered from fatigue, back pain, nausea and fevers as she gradually faded away. Addison's disease, Hodgkin's disease and tuberculosis have all been suggested as possible causes by modern-day scholars.

English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously. The most urgent preoccupation of her bright, young heroines is courtship and finally marriage. Austen herself never married. Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1813) and EMMA (1816). Virginia Woolf called Austen "the most perfect artist among women."

Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father, Rev. George Austen, was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The Austens did not lose a single one of their children. Cassandra Leigh, Jane's mother, fed her infants at the breast a few months, and then sent them to a wet nurse in a nearby village to be looked after for another year or longer.



The first 25 years of her life Jane spent in Hampshire. On her father's unexpected retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane's piano, and moved to Bath. Jane, aged twenty-five, and Cassandra, her elder sister, aged twenty-eight, were considered by contemporary standards confirmed old maid, and followed their parents. Torn from her friends and rural roots in Steventon, Austen abandoned her literary career for a decade.



Jane Austen was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school, but she received a broader education than many women of her time. She started to write for family amusement as a child. Her parents were avid readers; Austen's own favorite poet was Cowper. Her earliest-known writings date from about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk plotter if anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily life of her family and friends in an intimate and gossipy manner: "James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself, therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink persian." (Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra in 1796)



Rev. George Austen supported his daughter's writing aspirations, bought her paper and a writing desk, and tried to help her get a publisher. After his death in 1805, she lived with her sister and hypochondriac mother in Southampton. In July 1809 they moved to a large cottage in the village of Chawton. This was the place where Austen felt at home. She never married, she never had a room of her own, but her social life was active and she had suitors and romantic dreams. With Tom Lefroy, whom she met a few times in 1796, she talked about Fielding's Tom Jones. They shared similar sense of ironic humour and Austen was undeniably attracted to him. James Edward Austen-Leigh, her nephew, wanted to create another kind of legend around her and claimed that "of events her life was singularly barren: few changes and no great crises ever broke the smooth current of its course... There was in her nothing eccentric or angular; no ruggedness of temper; no singularity of manner..." Austen's sister Cassandra also never married. One of her brothers became a clergyman, two served in the navy, one was mentally retarded. He was taken care of a local family.



Jane Austen was well connected with the middling-rich landed gentry that she portrayed in her novels. In Chawton she started to write her major works, among them SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, the story of the impoverished Dashwood sisters, Marianne and Elinor, who try to find proper husbands to secure their social position. The novel was written in 1797 as the revision of a sketch called Elinor and Marianne, composed when the author was 20. According to some sources, an earlier version of the work was written in the form of a novel in letters, and read aloud to the family as early as 1795.



Austen's heroines are determined to marry wisely and well, but romantic Marianne of Sense and Sensibility is a character, who feels intensely about everything and loses her heart to an irresponsible seducer. "I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter into all my feelings; the same with books, the same music must charm us both." Reasonable Elinor falls in love with a gentleman already engaged. '"I have frequently detected myself in such kind of mistakes," said Elinor, "in a total misapprehension of character in some point or another: fancying people so much more gay or grave, or ingenious or stupid than they really are, and I can hardly tell why or in what the deception originated. Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge."'



When Marianne likes to read and express her feelings, Elinor prefers to draw and design and be silent of his desires. They are the daughters of Henry Dashwood, whose son, John, from a former marriage. After his death, John inherits the Norland estate in Sussex, where the sisters live. John's wife, the greedy and selfish Fanny, insists that they move to Norland. The impoverished widow and and her daughters move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire. There Marianne is surrounded by a devious heartbreaker Willoughby, who has already loved another woman. Elinor becomes interested in Edward Ferrars, who is proud and ignorant. Colonel Brandon, an older gentleman, doesn't attract Marianne. She is finally rejected by Willoughby. "Marianne Dashwood was born to an extraordinary fate. She was born to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract, by her conduct, her most favorite maxims."



In all of Austen's novels her heroines are ultimately married. Pride and Prejudice described the clash between Elisabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman and an intelligent young woman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. Their relationship starts from dislike, but Darcy becomes intrigued by her mind and spirit. At last they fall in love and are happily united. Austen had completed the early version of the story in 1797 under the title "First Impressions". The book went to three printings during Austen's lifetime. In 1998 appeared a sequel to the novel, entitled Desire and Duty, written by Teddy F. Bader, et al. It followed the ideas Jane Austen told her family.



Emma was written in comic tone. Austen begun the novel in January 1814 and completed it in March of the next year. The book was published in three volumes. It told the story of Emma Woodhouse, who finds her destiny in marriage. Emma is a wealthy, pretty, self-satisfied young woman. She is left alone with her hypochondriac father. Her governess, Miss Taylor, marries a neighbor, Mr. Weston. Emma has too much time and she spends it choosing proper partners for her friends and neighbors - blind to her own feelings. She makes a protégée of Harriet Smith, an illegitimate girl of no social status and tries to manipulate a marriage between Harriet and Mr. Elton, a young clergyman, who has set his sight on Emma. Emma has feelings about Mr. Weston's son. When Harriet becomes interested in George Knightley, a neighboring squire who has been her friend, Emma starts to understand her own limitations. He has been her moral adviser, and secretly loves her. Finally Emma finds her destiny in marriage with him. Harriet, who is left to decide for herself, marries Robert Martin, a young farmer.



Jane Austen focused on middle-class provincial life with humor and understanding. She depicted minor landed gentry, country clergymen and their families, in which marriage mainly determined women's social status. Most important for her were those little matters, as Emma says, "on which the daily happiness of private life depends." Although Austen restricted to family matters, and she passed the historical events of the Napoleonic wars, her wit and observant narrative touch has been inexhaustible delight to readers. Of her six great novels, four were published anonymously during her lifetime. Austen also had troubles with her publisher, who wanted to make alterations to her love scenes in Pride and Prejudice. In 1811 he wrote to Thomas Egerton: "You say the book is indecent. You say I am immodest. But Sir in the depiction of love, modesty is the fullness of truth; and decency frankness; and so I must also be frank with you, and ask that you remove my name from the title page in all future printings; 'A lady' will do well enough." At her death on July 18, 1817 in Winchester, at the age of forty-one, Austen was writing the unfinished SANDITON. She managed to write twelve chapters before stopping in March 18, due to her poor health.



Jane Austen was buried in Winchester Cathedral, near the centre of the north aisle. "It is a satisfaction to me to think that [she is] to lie in a Building she admired so much," Cassandra Austen wrote later. Cassandra destroyed many of her sister's letters; one hundred sixty survived but none written earlier than her tentieth birthday.



Jane Austen's brother Henry made her authorship public after her death. Emma had been reviewed favorably by Sir Walter Scott, who wrote in his journal of March 14, 1826: "[Miss Austen] had a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I have ever met with. The Big Bow-Wow strain I can do myself like any now going; but the exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from the truth of the description and the sentiment, is denied to me." Charlotte Brontë and E.B. Browning found her limited, and Elizabeth Hardwick said: "I don't think her superb intelligence brought her happiness." It was not until the publication of J.E. Austen-Leigh's Memoir in 1870 that a Jane Austen cult began to develop. Austen's unfinished Sanditon was published in 1925.

Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949)



Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta. Her mother was a suffragist and father a prominent lawyer and president of the Atlanta Historical Society. Mitchell grew up listening to stories about old Atlanta and the battles the Confederate Army had fought there during the American Civil War. At the age of fifteen she wrote in her journal: "If I were a boy, I would try for West Point, if I could make it, or well I'd be a prize fighter - anything fpr the thrills." Mitchell graduated from the local Washington Seminary and started in 1918 to study medicine at Smith College. In her youth Mitchell adopted her mother's feminist leanings which clashed with her father's conservatism - but she lived fully the Jazz age and wrote about it in nonfiction, like in her article 'Dancers Now Drown Out Even the Cowbell' in the Atlanta Journal Sunday Magazine. "In vain, the leader the jazz band may burst blood vessels in his efforts to make himself heard above the din of the "Double Shuffle" and the "Fandango Stamp," the newest dances introduced to Atlanta's younger set. Formerly we had a vast respect for the amount of noise a jazz band could produce. Now we see it is utterly eclipsed."

When Mitchell's mother died in 1919, she returned to home to keep house for her father and brother. In 1922 she married Berrien Kinnard Upshaw. The disastrous marriage was climaxed by spousal rape and was annulled 1924. Mitchell started her career as a journalist in 1922 under the name Peggy Mitchell, writing articles, interviews, sketches, and book reviews for the Atlanta Journal. Four years later she resigned after an ankle injury. Her second husband, John Robert Marsh, an advertising manager, encouraged Mitchell in her writing aspirations. From 1926 to 1929 she wrote Gone With the Wind. The outcome, a thousand page novel, which was later compared with Tolstoy's War and Peace, was published by the Macmillan Publishing Company in 1936. The retail price of the book was $3.00.

Mitchell's book broke sales records, the New Yorker praised it, and the poet and critic John Crowe Ransom admired "the architectural persistence behind the big work" but criticized the book as overly Southern, particularly in its treatment of Reconstruction. Malcolm Cowley's disdain in his review originated partly from the book's popularity. John Peale Bishop dismissed the novel as merely "one more of those 1000 page novels. competent but neither very good nor very sound." In 1937 Gone with the Wind was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

Although Gone with the Wind brought Mitchell fame and a tremendous fortune, it seems to have brought little joy. Chased by the press and public, the author and her husband lived modestly and traveled rarely. Also questions about the book's literary status and racism, historical view and depiction of the Klu Klux Klan, which had much similarities with D.W. Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation (1915), led to critical neglect which continued well in the 1960s. Griffith's film was based on the Reverend Thomas Dixon's racist play; the author was a great admirer of Mitchell and wanted to write a study of her novel. In Atlanta the Klan kept a high profile and had it national headquarters in the 1920s on the same street, where Mitchell lived.



During World War II Mitchell was a volunteer selling war bonds and volunteer for the American Red Cross. She was named honorary citizen of Vimoutiers, France, in 1949, for helping the city obtain American aid after WW II. Mitchell died in Atlanta on August 16, 1949 - she was accidentally struck by a speeding car while crossing Peachtree Street. Authorized sequel for Gone with the Wind, entitled Scarlett and written by Alexandra Ripley, appeared in 1992. In the story Scarlett journeys to Ireland with her children and meets again Rhett Butler. LOST LAYSEN, a lost novella by Mitchell, written when she was 16, and given to her close friend, was published in 1995. The romantic story was set on a South Pacific island.

1900年11月8日，玛格丽特·米切尔出生于美国佐治亚州亚特兰大市的一个律师家庭。她的父亲曾经是亚特兰大市的历史学会主席。在南北战争期间，亚特兰大曾于1864年落入北方军将领舒尔曼之手。后来，这便成了亚特兰大居民热衷的话题。自孩提时起，玛格丽特就时时听到她父亲与朋友们，甚至居民之间谈论南北战争。当26岁的玛格丽特决定创作一部有关南北战争的小说时，亚特兰大自然就成了小说的背景。



玛格丽特曾就读于马萨诸塞州的史密斯学院。后因母亲病逝，家中需要她来主持家务，于是不得不中途退学。从1922年起，她开始用自己的昵称“佩吉”为《亚特兰大日报》撰稿。在以后的四年中，就有129 篇署名的和大量未署名的稿件见诸报端。这些稿件中有一组便是玛格丽特为过去南方邦联将领写的专题报道。



在经历了一次失败的婚姻之后，玛格丽特于1925年与佐治亚热力公司的广告部主任约翰·马施结婚。1926年，由于腿部负伤，玛格丽特不得不辞去报社的工作。在丈夫的鼓励下，她开始致力于创作。



玛格丽特后来对人说，《飘》的写作占去了她近10年的时间。其实，小说大部分章节的初稿早在1929年就完成了。她首先完成的是小说的最后一章，然后返回来写前面的章节，但她始终没有按事件发生的先后顺序写，而是想到哪里就写到哪里。在近10年的时间里，玛格丽特很少对她的朋友们提起她的书稿。虽然不少人都知道她在创作，但几乎无人知道她具体在写什幺。1935年春，麦克米伦出版公司的编辑哈罗德·拉瑟姆在全国各地组稿。当他来到亚特兰大时，偶尔听说了玛格丽特写书的情况。起初，玛格丽特否认她在写小说，因为她不相信南方人对南北战争的看法能让北方的出版商感兴趣。结果，就在拉瑟姆离开亚特兰大的前一天，玛格丽特才送去了她已经打好的近五英尺厚的手稿。同年 7月，麦克未伦公司决定出版这部小说，并暂定名为《明天是新的一天》。



此后，玛格丽特花了半年的时间来反复核实小说中所涉及的历史事件的具体时间和地点。她引用美国诗人欧内斯特·道森的一句诗，将小说的题目改为《随风而去》（汉译名为《飘》）。与此同时，麦克米伦公司也作了大量的宣传。因此，1936年 6月30日，这位无名作家的“巨著”一经面世，其销售情况立即打破了美国出版界的多项纪录：日销售量最高时为5万册；前六个月发行了100Q万册；第一年200万册。随后，小说获得了1937年普利策奖和美国出版商协会奖。就在小说问世的当年，好莱坞便以 5万美元的代价购得将《飘》改编成电影的权利。由大卫·塞尔兹尼克执导，克拉克·加布尔和维维安·利主演的电影《飘》于1939年问世。
