书籍介绍
这并非一个让人舒心的励志童话。莎拉从富家女沦作洗衣女仆，苦难是真的，人心也是冷的——她越是恭顺做事，越换不来怜悯。真正打动读者的，是她在被侮辱时那句'什么都不说，只是看着他们、在心里想'所展现的内在力量：真正的强大从不需要张扬。有读者初读以为是童话，再读才惊觉是哲学；它适合那些想教孩子'如何不被环境改变'的人，也适合所有在逆境中练习'用思想转移痛苦'的成年人。它不保证善有善报的圆满，却提供了一种更坚韧的生存智慧：你可以身处泥泞，仍选择做自己的公主。

精彩摘录
- "I don't answer very often. I never answer when I can help it. When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word-- just to look at them and THINK... ... When you will not fly into a passion people know you are strong enough to hold in your rage... ... There's nothi"
- ""...and you will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of papa.""
- ""Are you learning me by heart, little Sara?" he said, stroking her hair. "No," she answered, "I know you by heart, you are inside my heart.""
- ""If I go on talking and talking," she said, "and telling you things about pretending, I shall bear it better. You don't forget, but you bear it better.""
- ""Oh," he said, "She's better fun every year she lives. God grant this business may right itself and leave me free to run home and see her. What wouldn't I give to have her little arms round my neck this minute! What WOULDN'T I give!""
- "头一两个月里，莎拉以为，自己尽力做好事情，挨了骂也不吭一声，这总能使凶狠驱使她的人变得心肠软一些吧。在她那高傲的幼小心灵中，她立意让人们看到，她是在努力养活自己，绝非依靠施舍。可是时间一点点过去，她看出根本软化不了任何人，她越是诚心诚意按照吩咐好好去做，那些女佣人就越加盛气凌人，对她毫不怜悯，而那个出口伤人的厨娘也益发地骂不绝口了。"
- "莎拉自己从来不惹什么乱子，也不去管别人的闲事。她像个苦力那样干活儿；她踩踏在潮湿的街道上，提着一包包一篮篮的东西；她费尽力气，让小女孩在上法语课时集中注意力，不搞小动作；在她变得衣服更破烂形象更古怪时，别人索性叫她去地下室厨房吃饭；别人待她当她是没人疼的孤儿，她的心更加变得孤傲与凄楚，可是她从来不对任何人吐露自己的感受。 “军人从不抱怨，”她说，把小牙关咬得紧紧的，“我不想抱怨；我要假设这是整场战争的一个部分。”"
- "I promised him I would bear it. And I will. You have to bear things. Think what soldiers bear! Papa is a soldier. If there was a war he would have to bear marching and thirstiness and, perhaps, deep wounds. And he would never say a word---not one word."
用户评论
总觉得这也不是本儿童文学
花了一个礼拜的时间看完，还不错，只是总感觉最后的结尾有点突然
以前看的
第一本英文audio book，princess还是得靠别人拯救，就算再怎么有爱心，还得需要仆人。不愿放弃自己的阶级。发放食物是不够的，如何解救全天下的穷人？但也不应该对童书有太多要求。just learn english
first i thought its a fairy tale, now i realize its abt philosophy. marvelous book!!!
锻炼听完全篇。我小时候应该会喜欢这部作品。
如何面对苦难？不幸幼年丧父的小Sara告诉我们，即使面对周遭的虐待、嘲笑，不需怒目横眉，只需礼貌冷对；即使身穿破衣烂衫，身无分文，也仍然要保持贵族的优雅、体面和从容；即使在饥肠辘辘的时刻，看到周围比自己更饥饿的人时，也会毫不犹豫地心生怜悯，将仅有的食物施舍他人；即使在最黑暗最寒冷最绝望的时刻，我们仍然不能忘记学习、阅读。即使一无所有，我们仍然可以拥有精神上的富足！这让我想到罗素所说的生活的三大动力即对知识的追求、对爱的渴望和对苦难的怜悯！
关于这本书我能说的就是：主播读得真不错~
好低幼
两年前看过的电影，一直印象深刻，现在终于慢慢地把原著看完了，孩子的真善美真的太让人为之动容了，还有，电影真的改编得更加精彩😭
