英国文学简史(3)

  In the Romantic period, the two generation of poets were like the two groups of stars and they were using their poems to inspiring people.

在浪漫主义时期，两代诗人就像是两组星群一般，他们用他们的诗来激励人们。

The passive group was like stars that at the beginning their light was strong but finally darkened and hid behind the clouds. However, the active group was like stars shining its utmost brightness and always was burning the fuel of their passion and their life.

消极的一组就像是一开始很闪亮但最终黯淡了下来，最后藏在云里的星星。然而，积极的那一组就像是始终都发着他们最耀眼的光的星星，从头到尾都在燃烧着他们的激情与生命。

There were also many novelists,such as Walter scott and Jane Austen. Jane Austen was an interesting woman and she use very few material and very narrow viewpoint to created such brilliant works.

这个时代又有有许多小说家，比如沃尔特·司各特和简.奥斯汀。简.奥斯汀是个有趣的女人，她的素材比较少，视角也比较局限，但她却创作了许多伟大的作品。《傲慢与偏见》就是她的代表作。

Walter scott was the forerunner of historical book and because of his fame in literary field, his death meant the ending of Romanticism.

沃尔特·司各特是历史小说的创始人，因为他在文学领域的地位，所以他的死意味着浪漫主义的结束。

    In the Victorian age,there were many great writer coming out.The three Bronte sisters were famous for their high literature achievements.

在维多利亚时期，有许多作家踊跃而出。勃朗特三姐妹在这一时期获得了很高的文学成就。

I would like to compare the three Bronte sisters to compare with Chinese three cao,  including one father and two sons for their literature genius that be distinguished as a family was rare and entertaining.

我想把勃朗特三姐妹比作中国的三曹，一个父亲和两个儿子，他们卓越的作为一个家庭在文学上都具有较高成就，这非常少见，也非常有意思。

Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre and delineated a girl pursing happiness and freedom with passion and perseverance and gradually changed into a wise,graceful lady.

夏洛特.勃朗特写了《简爱》，描绘出了一个追求幸福与自由的女孩，她充满了激情，也在追逐自己所求的路上坚韧不拔，最终，她成长成了一名有智慧，优雅的女士。

From my perspective,she was a bird that can be be caged with fixed rules and barren surroundings and throttling patriarchal society because her feature was too bright.

以我来看，她就像一只不可以被关在笼子里的鸟儿，而这笼子是用成规，荒凉的周遭以及令人窒息的男权社会构成的。她在这样的笼子里待不住，因为她的羽毛太耀眼了。

What impressed me most was her making acquaintance with Helen Burns,who was her genuine friend.

使我印象最深刻的就是她与海伦.彭斯的相识，海伦是简爱最好的伙伴。

Helen Burns was quite,knowledgeable, enduring and pious whereas Jane was  passionate, energetic. Although their personalities were different,but they helped each other when life in the broad school was hell and they are compatible.

海伦.彭斯是一个安静，博学，忍耐力强并且虔诚的一个女孩子，而简爱是一个充满激情，有活力的女孩子。尽管他们的性格不相同，但他们在地狱一般的寄宿学校里相濡以沫，所以她们的性格正好互相匹配。

Helen’s deep mind and thought influenced Jane deeply and after Helen’s early death, Jane always saw her calm face and her wise word in her mind’s eye.

海伦深邃的思想和头脑深深地影响了简爱，在海伦早亡后，简爱时常在她的脑海里见到她平静的面孔和她睿智的话语。

In other words, Helen lived in Jane Eyre’s heart and her word -life is too short ,and should not be used to bear grudges- inspired Jane Eyre to forgive and be divine. And then reason hold the reins and sitting, don’t let her emotion put her into a hole.

换句话说，海伦住在了简爱的心里，她的话——生活太短暂，容不得心藏怨恨——激励了简爱去宽恕，变得崇高。然后以她的理智把控头脑，坐下来，不会让冲动使她陷入险境。
