作为一名拥有理科生思维的文科生,
文艺细胞runs in my blood.
今天很想给大家分享几部我学生时代读过的个人非常喜欢的名著开场白,一起体会一下文学大师们是如何进行开场的:(有时候写篇文章想个开头简直太难了...
1.Charles Dickens: A Tale Of Two Cities 查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
这是很好的时代,这是最坏的时代;这是智慧的时代,这是愚蠢的时代;这是信仰的时期,这是怀疑的时期;这是光明的季节,这是黑暗的季节;这是希望之春,这是失望之冬;人们面前有着各样事物,人们面前一无所有;人们正在直登天堂,人们正在直下地狱。
狄更斯的这部小说,奏响了法国大革命时期的一首悲歌。那个复杂的年代,信仰与怀疑混杂,光明与黑暗交织,希望与失望并行。这段“开头语”形象地描述了一个无比复杂的时代。
2.Ernest Hemingway: The Old Man And The Sea 海明威《老人与海》
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.
他是个独自在湾流中一条小船上钓鱼的老人,至今已去了八十四天,一条鱼也没逮住。
这部备受赞誉的小说,一开头便如大海中的冰山,三分在外,七分在内,强烈地吸引着读者读下去。而这种“冰山效应”,也成为海明威作品风格的写照。
3.Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice 简·奥斯丁《傲慢与偏见》
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
但凡财运俱佳的单身汉,必然想娶妻成家,这是举世公认的道理。
这是本书所描绘的大部分人物都秉持的观点,简·奥斯丁在开头用这样一句话引出了班内特夫妇的对话,刻画出人物性格,以衬托伊丽莎白的鲜明个性。
4.Franz Kafka: Metamorphosis 弗兰兹·卡夫卡《变形记》
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.
一日之内早晨,格里高尔.萨姆沙从不安的睡梦中醒来,发现自己躺在床上变成了一只巨大的甲虫。
这部寓言式小说,开篇便将读者引入一种惊讶与不安中,使人在一探总归之后心生悲凉。
5.Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina 列夫·托尔斯特《安娜·卡列尼娜》
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
幸福的家庭都是相似的,不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。
这部缠绵悱恻又荡气回肠的作品,开头却如此简洁,真犹如:千言万语化作一声叹息。
