编辑点评: 《远离尘嚣》是英国小说家托马斯·哈代的处女作,也是他此后一系列以威塞克斯乡村为背景的优秀长篇小说中的第一部。他的书名出自托马斯·格雷的诗作《墓园挽歌》中的一句“远离尘嚣中不光彩的争权夺利”。可主人公们的生活真的可以远离尘嚣吗?今天小编带来的就是本书第一章的部分选段,快和小编一起感受一下它的魅力吧。

Right on top of the pile sat a handsome young woman As Gabriel was watching,the cart stopped at the top of the hill,and the driver climbed down to go back and fetch some-thing that had fallen off.
一个冬日的早晨,他正在诺科姆山边的一块地里。越过大门,盖伯瑞尔能够看到一辆黄色的装满家具和花木的马车朝路这边驶来。在那一堆东西的顶上坐着一位面容姣好的年轻女人。当盖伯瑞尔正盯着看时,马车在山顶停了下来。车夫爬下马车,回去拣掉了的东西。

The girl sat quietly in the sunshine for a few minutes. Then she picked up a parcel lying next to her,and looked round to see if the driver was coming back. There was no sign of him. She unwrapped the parcel,and took out the mirror it con-tained. The sun shone on her lovely face and hair. Although it was December,she looked almost summery,sitting there in her bright red jacket with the fresh green plants around her. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled,thinking that only the birds could see her. But behind the gate Gabriel Oak was watching too.
姑娘在太阳下静静地坐了几分钟,然后她拿起身边的一个包袱,四下看看车夫是否回来了。没有车夫的影子。她打开包袱,从里面拿出镜子。太阳照在她漂亮的脸上和头发上。身着红色上衣坐在那里,被鲜绿的花木簇拥着,虽然是在12月,看上去她像在夏日。她看着镜子里的自己笑了,以为只有鸟会看到。但是在大门后边盖伯瑞尔也正在看着。

eg: John sends a parcel to her .
