- "“告诉你吧，我要求的是：事实。除了事实，其他什么都不要教给这些男孩子和女孩子。只有事实才是生活最需要的。除此之外，什么都不要培植，一切都该连根拔掉。要训练有理性的动物的头脑，就得用事实：任何别的东西对他们都全无用处。这就是我教养我自己的孩子们所依据的原则，这也就是我用来教养这些孩子的原则。要抓紧事实不放，老师！”"

- "Into that hidden passage my guide and I entered, to find again the world of light, we climbed up, he first and I behind him, far enough to see, through a round opening, a few of those fair things the heavens bear."
- "If, reader, I had more ample space to write, I should sing at least in part the sweetness of the drink that never would have sated me, but, since all the sheets readied for this second canticle are full, the curb of art lets me proceed no farther. From those most holy waters I came away remade, as a"
- "Here my exalted vision lost its power. But now my will and my desire, like wheels revolving with an even motion, were turning with the Love that moves the sun and all the other stars."
- "the political economists in education, like their fellow utilitarians in other fields, were engaged in what was, in effect, a campaign of containment. The end of their labours was to give the working-class child an education which stressed as its dominant principle not the potentialities of life but"

用户评论
dickens在经历了一系列商业成功后真正回归现实主义的反刍之作。eminantly practical，语言上延续一贯风格，各种特征放大描写通篇排比，有些很精彩；有些太啰嗦，我真的相信跳过他们不看对理解全书没有影响。只看storyline是没有意义的，但是无趣的stl实在让人痛
错误好多。。。情节什么的真的很简单也很少，可能狄更斯的书主要还是看文字，但是文字我又不太看得懂（醉了。。
经典小说
可以
译本生硬晦涩，照着原文勉强看完。按照语文课本的说法，揭露了资本家的自私自利冷酷无情，讽刺了资产阶级上流社会功利主义的生活原则，同时歌颂了劳动人民无私奉献的伟大品质。当Louisa质问父亲“Where are the graces of my soul？Where are the sentiments of my heart？”，该庆幸太多太多。
狄更斯，愿我不负你。
这个翻译，无力吐槽。
英语、、慢慢摸索中~~
