[呼啸山庄 / 艾米莉·勃朗特 著]
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
■ 简介
爱情未必总是幸福的历程,相爱的人也未必总是彼此善待。我们都熟知很多恋人因外来压力不能相聚的故事——有时是因为他们的家庭,有时是迫于他们所处社会的世俗习惯。
在《呼啸山庄》中,使恋人隔开的主要原因来自他们自身。这个故事中的人物,像现实世界的人们一样,有弱点——正是这些弱点导致了他们的不幸。他们高傲、自私;他们经常陷于感情纠葛之中,又不能决定自己的命运。爱情经常由于这些原因而失败,但现实生活中很少有像这个故事中所描述的这样动人心魄。
艾米莉·勃朗特(1818—1848)出生和生活于英格兰北部的约克郡,也是《呼啸山庄》这个故事发生的地方。她与她的姐姐夏洛蒂和妹妹安妮都属当时英格兰最伟大的小说家之列。
■ 1 Mr Lockwood visits Wuthering Heights
1801 I have just returned from a visit to my landlord,Mr Heathcliff.I am delighted with the house I am renting from him.Thrushcross Grange is miles away from any town or village.That suits me perfectly.And the scenery here in Yorkshire is so beautiful!
Mr Heathcliff,in fact,is my only neighbour,and I think his character is similar to mine.He does not like people either.
‘My name is Lockwood,’I said,when I met him at the gate to his house.‘I'm renting Thrushcross Grange from you. I just wanted to come and introduce myself.’
He said nothing,but frowned,and did not encourage me to enter.After a while,however,he decided to invite me in.
‘Joseph,take Mr Lock wood's horse!’he called.‘And bring up some wine from the cellar!’Joseph was a very old servant,with a sour expression on his face.He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse.
‘God help us!A visitor!’he muttered to himself.Perhaps there were no other servants,I thought.And it seemed that Mr Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.
His house is called Wuthering Heights.The name means‘a windswept house on a hill’,and it is a very good description.The trees around the house do not grow straight,but are bent by the north wind,which blows over the moors every day of the year.Fortunately,the house is strongly built,and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.The name‘Earn-shaw’is cut into a stone over the front door.
Mr Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room.It could have been any Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen,except that there was no sign of cooking,and no farmer sitting at the table. Mr Heathcliff certainly does not look like a farmer.His hair and skin are dark,like a gipsy's,but he has the manners of a gentleman.He could perhaps take more care with his appearance,but he is handsome. I think he is proud,and also unhappy.
We sat down by the fire,in silence.
‘Joseph!'shouted Mr Heathcliff.No answer came from the cellar,so he dived down there,leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me,and in a moment all the others were attacking me.From every shadowy corner in the great room appeared a growling animal,ready to kill me,it seemed.
‘Help!Mr Heathcliff!Help!’I shouted,trying to keep the dogs back.My landlord and his servant were in no hurry to help,and could not have climbed the cellar steps more slowly,but luckily a woman,who I supposed was the housekeeper,rushed into the room to calm the dogs.
‘What the devil is the matter?’Mr Heathcliff asked me rudely,when he finally entered the room.
‘Your dogs,sir!’I replied.‘You shouldn't leave a
