| 123 | But it's also about his quest for family and for love and nurture and all these things that he's been denied. | 但这也是关于他追求家庭,追求爱和养育,以及所有这些被他否定的东西. |
| 124 | The book's primary inspiration is the French filmmaker Georges Méliès and his surviving films and his collections of automata. | 该书的主要灵感是法国电影制片人乔治·梅利埃斯(Georges Méliès)及其幸存的电影和他收藏的自动马塔. |
| 125 | And I think it's really clever that the book's focus is cinema and that the filmmaking is kind of paralleled in the cinematic effect that the illustrations produce. | 我认为,这本书的焦点是电影, 电影的制作在插画所产生的电影效果中是平行的。 |

| 135 | This is one of my absolute favourite books. | 这是我最爱的书之一 |
| 136 | So this is essentially a coming of age first love story between working class Clem Ackroyd and Frankie Mortimer who is the daughter of a wealthy landowner. | 因此,这基本上是一个 年龄初恋的故事 介于工人阶级克莱姆·阿克罗伊德 和弗兰基·莫蒂默之间 他是一个富有的地主的女儿。 |
| 137 | But describing it as such really doesn't feel like it does it justice at all. | 但是,把它描述成这样,真的不 感觉它这样做是正义的。 |
| 138 | It's set against the backdrop of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. | 这是以冷战和古巴导弹危机为背景的。 |
| 139 | As a novel it has such huge scope. | 作为一个小说,它有如此巨大的范围。 |

| 149 | This is such a beautiful little book. | 这本书真美 |

| 152 | It isn't really a linear narrative but it's just a collection of interactions between these four friends. | 这其实不是线性叙事 而是这四个朋友之间的相互作用 |
| 153 | It's stuffed with like beautifully but very simply phrased words of wisdom that just hit you right in the field. | 它充满了美妙但非常简单的 智慧的词句 刚刚打到你的球场。 |
| 154 | When I have dared to show my weakness, asking for help isn't giving up, said the horse, it's refusing to give up. | 当我胆敢表露自己的弱点,求救并不是放弃,说马,就是拒绝放弃. |
| 155 | It has these absolutely gorgeous illustrations which are so expressive. | 它有这些非常华丽的插图 如此的清晰 |
| 156 | It's just an absolutely wonderful book that really emphasises the importance of kindness and support and the courage of asking for help. | 这本书绝对是一部绝妙的书,真正强调了仁爱和支持的重要性以及请求帮助的勇气. |
| 157 | Compassion and truth and friendship values which we often feel ostracised from in this crazy frenetic modern world that we live in. | 同情、真理和友谊的价值观,我们常常感到在我们生活在这个疯狂的狂热的现代世界中受到排斥。 |
| 158 | I think it's become a real touchstone of safety and comfort for a lot of people. | 我认为它已经成为许多人真正安全和舒适的试金石. |
| 159 | We actually gave it to my grandma for Christmas and she says that like if she's having a bad day she will just pick it up and look through a couple of pages and it makes her feel better which I think is just so lovely. | 我们实际上把它给我奶奶过圣诞节 她说如果她今天过得很糟 她会拿起来翻几页 让她感觉好点 我觉得这很好 |
| 160 | It's kind of like a hug in book form. | 有点像书本形式的拥抱. |
| 161 | It's like a conversation with someone who you trust entirely and it's wholesome and moving and poignant. | 这就像和你完全信任的人的对话, 并且是健康的,动人和波澜。 |

| 163 | It's just so lovely. | 真是太可爱了 |
| 164 | So now moving on to the next section which is kind of a bit of an eclectic mix but I guess I would call it like adult or contemporary fiction. | 所以现在转到下一节,它有点像一种杂交,但我想我会把它称为成人或当代的虚构。 |
| 165 | One of the latest additions to my list of favourite books which is The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. | 我最喜欢的书列表中最新增加的一首 是石室和男的《今日遗书》 |
| 166 | It is told in first person narration by Mr Stevens who is an English butler who has dedicated his life to his profession. | 史蒂文斯先生在第一人称中说,他是一位英国管家,毕生致力于他的事业。 |
| 167 | He's worked for 34 years I believe at Darlington Hall which is this kind of big English stately home. | 他工作了34年,我相信在达林顿大厅 这是一种大的英国式的住宅。 |
| 168 | The novel is set in 1956 when two world wars and a shift in ownership have engendered a real change in the household and the way that it's run. | 这部小说设定于1956年,当时两次世界大战和所有权的转变使家庭及其经营方式发生了真正的变化. |
| 169 | Having been in an aristocratic English family for years it's now been bought up by an American. | 在一个贵族的英国家庭里呆了好几年 现在被一个美国人收购了 |
| 170 | So it opens with Mr Stevens setting out on this motoring trip so he simultaneously takes this figurative trip into his past and into the English past. | 所以史蒂文斯先生开始了这次摩托旅行 所以他同时将这次模拟之旅 追溯到他的过去和英国的过去 |
| 171 | He begins this journey to self awareness and an awareness of what he has sacrificed in his dedication to his profession. | 他开始了这个自我意识的旅程,并意识到他在致力于职业时牺牲了什么。 |
| 172 | It sounds like a painfully obvious metaphor, this like journey metaphor. | 这听起来像一个痛苦的明显比喻, 这就像旅行比喻。 |
| 173 | That's one of the things that I love most about this book. | 这是我最喜欢的书之一 |
| 174 | He takes these kind of seemingly obvious or overdone metaphors, characters and situations and he imbues them with a real truth and authenticity and beauty that's really poignant. | 他用这种看似明显或过度的比喻,人物和情况, 并用真实的真相,真实的和美的, 给它们注入了真实的色彩。 |
| 175 | It's also about relationships, about stilted relationships between father and son, master and servant and romantic relationships too. | 也涉及到关系,父子关系,主人和仆人关系以及浪漫关系. |
| 176 | The way that the blind dedication to the quintessentially English but also outdated values of priority and self control and dignity, convention, how these work to the detriment of true connection, intimacy and honesty and how it can thwart relationships b | 盲目的专注于典型的英语,但也过时的优先权、自我控制和尊严的价值观、惯例、这些价值观如何损害真正的联系、亲密和诚实,以及如何从根本上阻止关系。 |
| 177 | One of the central kind of questions that I picked up on was what the continued worship of obsolete values does to a person or does to society in general because yeah, Stevens does kind of represent this old English society. | 我所想到的中心问题之一是 继续崇拜过时的价值观 会对一个人或整个社会造成什么影响 因为史蒂文斯确实代表着这个古老的英国社会 |
| 178 | He really cleverly interweaves lots of postmodernist techniques, there's a lot about language as like an inadequate form of communication, the gap between what someone says and what they actually mean and how this can get lost. | 他非常巧妙地交织了许多后现代主义的技巧, 有很多关于语言像一种不适当的交流形式, 和人们所说的话和他们实际的意思之间的鸿沟, 和它如何会丢失。 |
| 179 | It's riddled with miscommunication and misunderstanding. | 它充满了错误的沟通和误解. |
| 180 | The narrative style is really one of the highlights of this book. | 叙事风格其实是这本书的亮点之一. |
| 181 | Casual Sugar entirely embodies this voice of Stevens. | 临时糖完全体现了史蒂文斯的声音. |
| 182 | So he's an incredibly unreliable narrator. | 所以他是一个令人难以置信的不可靠的旁白。 |
| 183 | And to be honest with you, I spent a lot of this book absolutely hating Stevens and I was so annoyed with him and the way he was so blind to the truth, his binary views about the world, lack of moral integrity, his preoccupation with his own pursuit of di | 老实说,我花了很多钱 这本书绝对恨史蒂文斯, 我对他如此恼火 他对事实如此盲目, 他对世界的二进制观点, 缺乏道德正直, 他专注于他自己追求的尊严和伟大, 他不断自相矛盾。 |
| 184 | But I was totally taken by surprise and swept up in the beautiful poignancy that Casual Sugar creates. | 但我完全被惊奇地吸引了, 并扫荡了Casual Sugar所创造的美丽宝物。 |
| 185 | The layers are like stripped back and we are given an image of a man so preoccupied with propriety and convention, so blinded by this that he has let happiness slip away from him. | 层层像剥回, 我们得到一个形象 一个男人如此关注 正当和约制, |
| 186 | I'm not going to say anymore, but it's really heartbreaking. | 我不会再说了,但真的很伤心 |
| 187 | Great book. | 好书 |
| 188 | So next I'm going to chat about A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. | 接下来我要谈约翰·欧文·欧文·梅尼的祷告 |
| 189 | This is a book that feels pretty difficult to describe, partly because it sounds so very strange when you describe what it's about. | 这是一本很难描述的书, 部分原因是当你描述它的内容时 它听起来很奇怪。 |
| 190 | Maybe it's just better if I just read the opening line because I feel like this encapsulates the intrigue at the centre of the story. | 或许我读开场白会更好 因为我觉得这能概括故事的核心 |
| 191 | Chapter one is called The Foul Ball. | 第一章叫恶棍球 |

| 194 | In fact I should probably re-read it. | 其实我应该重新读一下 |

| 196 | And I think probably the only book that has audibly made me gasp. | 我想可能是唯一一本让我喘气的书 |
| 197 | Honestly every time I think about this book and the plot of this book, I think my heart genuinely starts beating faster. | 老实说,每当我想到这本书和这本书的情节,我觉得我的心真的开始跳得更快。 |

| 199 | I just really appreciate the way that John Irving writes these things that if someone told you about them. | 我真的很感激约翰·欧文写这些东西的方式 如果有人告诉你这些 |
| 200 | If I described to you right now some of the circumstances in this book, they just sound completely ridiculous and so outlandish and totally implausible and actually quite questionable. | 如果我现在向你们描述这本书中的一些情节, 它们听起来完全可笑,如此荒诞, 完全不可信,实际上相当可疑。 |
| 201 | When you read them, when he describes them, they make kind of perfect sense and they're quite remarkable really. | 当你读到它们,当他描述它们时, 它们有很强的道理, 而且它们真的非常出色。 |
| 202 | It's so compelling and kind of terrifying and also kind of extraordinary. | 它是如此令人信服和 一种可怕的, 也是一种非凡的。 |

| 204 | So now I'm going to talk about Angels in America by Tony Kushner. | 现在我要谈谈美国天使的事 托尼·库什纳 |
| 205 | This has kind of broken the rules because it's not a book, it's a play. | 这有点打破了规则,因为它不是一本书,而是一部戏剧. |
| 206 | It's probably the most overwhelming, expansive, ambitious, epic piece of literature that I've come across in my short time. | 这可能是我短暂遇到的最压倒性的,扩张的,雄心勃勃的,史诗般的文学作品. |
| 207 | So I feel like it deserved a place on this list. | 所以我觉得它应该在这个名单上找到一个位置。 |

| 209 | It's quite a formidable task that I've set myself here. | 这是相当艰巨的任务 我在这里为自己设置。 |
| 210 | For a start, it's seven and a half hours long. | 首先,它有七个半小时长。 |
| 211 | It's split into two parts. | 分为两部分. |
| 212 | The first part is called Millennium Approaches and the second part is called Prairstreuker. | 第一部分称为千年方法,第二部分称为Prairstreuker. |
| 213 | I guess put simply, it's an examination of homosexuality and the AIDS crisis in America during the 1980s. | 简而言之,这是对20世纪80年代美国同性恋和艾滋病危机的审查。 |
| 214 | It focuses on a series of relationships within this context that are all interconnected. | 报告侧重于这方面相互关联的一系列关系。 |

| 216 | The play is full of these impossible circumstances that could be real or could be hallucinations or dreams and we never really know. | 剧中充满了这些不可能的情节,这些情节可能是真实的,也可能是幻觉或梦境,我们从来不知道. |
| 217 | I think that's one of the most beautiful things about theatre for me and why I love theatre so much is that things can be ambiguous. | 我认为这是我最美丽的戏剧之一 而我为什么如此喜欢戏剧 是因为事情会变得模糊不清 |
| 218 | There is this suspension of disbelief that occurs when an audience goes into a theatre. | 当观众进入剧场时 就会出现这种怀疑的中止 |
| 219 | It kind of extends to supernatural beings and supernatural events. | 它可以扩展到超自然生物和超自然事件。 |
| 220 | They can all exist on the same plane. | 它们都可以在同一架飞机上存在。 |

| 225 | Basically it's just about everything it is to be a human. | 基本上它只是关于一切 它是一个人类。 |
| 226 | It's very much about universality and about commonality and how we understand each other and how we judge each other and how we ostracise each other but also how we love each other and how we are capable of uniting in spite of our differences. | 它非常涉及到普遍性和共性,以及我们如何理解彼此,如何判断彼此,如何排斥彼此,同时也涉及到我们如何爱彼此,以及我们如何能够团结在一起,尽管我们存在分歧. |
| 227 | Despite its seemingly bleak backdrop and the fact that it encourages its audience to acknowledge real suffering, it's also really hopeful and defiant and life-affirming. | 尽管它看起来是暗淡的背景,并且它鼓励观众承认真正的痛苦,但它也真正充满了希望和违抗,充满了生命感. |
| 228 | It's ultimately about this indestructible connection that we all share and this responsibility that we all have to one another to live and grow together as one society. | 归根结底,我们共同拥有的就是这种不可破坏的联系,这个责任也是我们作为一个社会共同生活和成长所必须的. |
| 229 | It's honestly just the most breathtaking piece of theatre. | 老实说,这是最令人惊叹的剧场。 |
| 230 | Moving on to Sexing the Cherry by Jeannette Winterson. | 珍妮特·温特森的《性感樱桃》 |
| 231 | This is another book that's very hard to describe. | 这是另一本很难描述的书. |
| 232 | Like a lot of Winterson's writing, this is entirely rooted in magical realism and fantasy, imagination and playfulness, unpredictability and in subverting our expectations at every single turn. | 和许多温特森的著作一样,这完全根植于神奇的现实主义和幻想,想象力和玩偶,不可预测性,以及在每个转折中颠覆我们的期望. |

| 234 | It follows her and her adopted child Jordan who she rescues from the River Thames as a baby. | 她跟随她和她领养的孩子乔丹,她从泰晤士河中救出她小时候. |
| 235 | It jumps between 17th century London and when it was written in 1989. | 它跳跃于17世纪伦敦至1989年写作时. |
| 236 | One of the central themes is time and the slipperiness of time and our inability to quantify or grasp time. | 中心主题之一是时间和时间的缓慢以及我们无法量化或把握时间。 |
| 237 | Winterson has said about her work that it manipulates history and that the past isn't sacred or static in her work which is something that really comes through in this book in its reconsideration of history. | 温特森说她的工作 操纵着历史,过去不是神圣的 或静态的 她的作品,这是真正通过的东西 在这本书 在它的回顾历史。 |
| 238 | Also really central to this is its discussion of gender and it really is about the destabilisation of gender binaries and of revealing gender as an entirely social construct. | 这个问题的另一个核心是讨论性别问题,讨论的确是破坏性别二进制和揭示性别是完全社会结构的问题。 |
| 239 | There's a lot of cross-dressing in this book, there's a lot of cross-dressing in her books generally but particularly here. | 这本书中有很多跨装,她的书中也有很多跨装一般但特别在这里. |
| 240 | Something else I love about it is its use and subversion of fairy tales. | 我更喜欢的是它使用和颠覆童话 |
| 241 | It interweaves its central narrative with fairy stories and yeah subverts them in kind of funny and sometimes quite horrific ways. | 它将中心故事与仙女故事交织在一起, 并且以滑稽有时相当恐怖的方式颠覆它们。 |
| 242 | As a book it's doing all sorts of complicated postmodern things but it does it in a very accessible and entertaining way. | 作为一本书,它正在做各种复杂的后现代事物, 但它却以一种非常方便和娱乐的方式进行。 |
| 243 | While it's like incredibly engaging it also really encourages you to ask questions. | 虽然这就像令人难以置信的接触 它也真的鼓励你提问。 |
| 244 | For me it just really exemplifies everything that I love about Janette Winterson's writing. | 对我来说,它只是 真正地证明我爱的一切 关于珍妮特·温特森的写作。 |

| 249 | Appropriately they have forged a career in Vaudeville Theatre thought of as the illegitimate low brow side of theatre. | 他们恰好在瓦德维尔剧院创造了职业生涯,被认为是剧院的非法低眉边。 |
| 250 | Through this book Dora recounts the entangled history of the Hazard and Chance families in this kind of fictionalised showbiz style memoir. | 通过这本书多拉在这种虚构的表演风格的回忆录中,讲述了"危险与机会"家族缠绕的历史. |

| 252 | As with a lot of Angela Carter's writing I just love the eccentricity of the characters, how unpredictable it is. | 和很多安吉拉·卡特的写作一样,我只喜欢角色的古怪,多么不可预测. |
| 253 | It kind of feels like any like hilarious, bizarre, slightly surreal event could happen at any point. | 那种感觉像 任何有趣的,奇怪的, 略微超现实的事件 随时可能发生。 |
| 254 | And I also really love the multiplicity of tones and styles that she uses throughout so it's kind of unpredictable in that sense as well. | 我也非常喜欢她一直使用的多种音调和风格, 所以从这个意义上说,这有点不可预测。 |

| 259 | The plot itself is very reflective of a lot of Shakespearean tropes. | 情节本身就非常反映了很多莎士比亚的长袍. |
| 260 | So there's a lot of mistaken identity, twins, mirroring, there's a lot of incest as well which is very Shakespearean. | 所以有很多错误的身份,双胞胎,镜像, 有很多乱伦,也是莎士比亚人。 |
| 261 | So I guess in that way it returns Shakespeare to what it was, to something that was accessible and like of the people and it wasn't thought of as like high brow culture. | 所以我猜它这样让莎士比亚回到了它是什么, 回到了人们可以理解的事物, 而不是像高眉文化一样。 |
| 262 | It's really funny, it's quite vulgar, irreverent and mocking. | 这真的很有趣, 相当粗俗, 无情和嘲笑。 |
| 263 | That's something I love about Winterson and Carter is the kind of irreverence and the celebration of disorder and the carnivalesque. | 我对温特森和卡特的爱 就是那种不尊重 庆祝混乱和狂欢 |

| 275 | The innocence of the children is used to juxtapose and illuminate the prejudice and cruelty and violence that they encounter. | 儿童天真无邪被用来将他们所遭遇的偏见、残酷和暴力相提并论。 |
| 276 | Essentially it is an examination of human nature really about the question of whether at our core we are good or evil. | 从根本上讲,这是对人性的检查,真正涉及我们的核心是好还是坏的问题。 |
| 277 | 我们看见Scout和Jem通过一个bildungsroman型的结构遇到这个问题. | |
| 278 | It's also really about the importance of empathy. | 这也是关于同情的重要性。 |
| 279 | One of the quotes that Atticus said which has really stuck with me is | 阿提库斯说的其中一句句子... |
| 280 | You can never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. | 你永远无法真正理解一个人 直到你从他的角度来考虑事情 直到你爬进他的皮肤里走动 |
| 281 | Despite this rather sweeping sounding question about human nature, the novel also really focuses on the minutiae of southern life. | 尽管关于人性这个相当广泛的问题, 这部小说也真正侧重于南方生活的精髓。 |
| 282 | It constructs a very real, very tangible community. | 它构建了一个非常真实,非常有形的社区. |

| 286 | But I just thought that Scout was really cool in her like overalls and the way that she defied the constrictor femininity that was imposed upon her. | 但我只是觉得童子军在她身上真的很酷 就像整装待发 以及她反抗被强加在她身上的 收缩女性的方式 |
| 287 | I was totally enamoured with Atticus, their father, who is just this embodiment of stability and justice and calm rationality. | 我完全被他们的父亲阿提库斯所迷惑 他就是稳定与正义和冷静理性的化身 |
| 288 | I've read it I think at least four times since then and every time I read it I kind of notice something new or I appreciate it on a deeper level. | 我读过它,我觉得至少四次 从那时起,每次我读它, 我有点注意到一些新的东西, 或者我更欣赏它。 |
| 289 | It's been a very formative book in my love of literature and yeah, I think it will always be a book that I come back to. | 我对文学的热爱是一本很有造型的书 是的,我想它永远会是我回来的一本书。 |
| 290 | Another sibling bildungsroman which is The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot. | 另一个兄弟比伦顿斯罗曼 是乔治·艾略特的《磨坊》 |

| 294 | The centre of the novel is the relationship between Maggie and Tom. | 小说的核心是玛姬和汤姆的关系. |
| 295 | That's one of the reasons that I love it so much because even though Maggie does have a couple of very significant romantic relationships, | 这也是我非常喜欢的原因之一 因为尽管玛姬有几段非常重要的浪漫恋情 |
| 296 | it is her relationship with her brother that is most important to her and that is most kind of fundamental to her identity. | 她和她哥哥的关系对她来说是最重要的 对她的身份来说是最根本的 |
| 297 | So she's not defined in the romantic terms that women usually are, especially in novels of this period. | 因此,她并没有用女性通常的浪漫性术语来定义,特别是在这一时期的小说中. |
| 298 | Their relationship is so complex and is kind of constantly shifting. | 他们的关系如此复杂,并有种不断变化。 |
| 299 | They are fundamentally very different people and George Eliot very cleverly subverts our kind of gender expectations in this way | 他们根本上是不同的人 乔治・艾略特非常巧妙地以这种方式 颠覆了我们那种性别期望 |
| 300 | because Maggie is kind of very bright and intelligent and bookish and imaginative. | 因为玛姬很聪明,很聪明,很沉着,很有想象力 |
| 301 | While Tom is defined by his practical knowledge, his love of the outdoors, he isn't at all suited to the education that's kind of deemed appropriate for a young man. | 虽然汤姆被他的实际知识,他对室外的热爱所定义,但他完全不适合被认为适合年轻人的教育. |
| 302 | Maggie's deeply passionate and compassionate nature really contrasts with Tom's fairly kind of binary views about morality and justice. | 玛姬的深情和同情性与汤姆相当的对道德和正义的二进制观点确实形成了对比. |
| 303 | So it's really an examination of the damaging ideals around femininity in the time. | 因此,这确实是对当时围绕女性主义的破坏性理想的考察. |

| 307 | And then as she grows up, she continues to reject the idea that marriage is this kind of pinnacle of female achievement. | 然后随着她的成长,她继续拒绝婚姻是女性成就的这种顶峰的想法. |
| 308 | While she is really defiant, she's not able to fulfil herself in the way that she wants to because she's a woman. | 虽然她真的很悖逆,但是由于她是个女人,她无法以自己想要的方式完成自己的任务. |
| 309 | I just really love the way that George Eliot writes about people and about places. | 我只是非常喜欢乔治·埃利奥特写的关于人和地点的文章 |
| 310 | Really cleverly interweaves this very personal story with a broader backdrop of the huge societal changes that were happening at the time. | 非常巧妙地将这个非常个人的故事 与当时发生的巨大社会变化的更广泛的背景联系起来。 |
| 311 | I think she is just such a shrewd and witty observant of humans and of how we interact and behave, our habits, foibles, the ways that we are imperfect. | 我认为她只是 如此精明和机智的观察 人类, 和我们如何互动和行为, 我们的习惯,愚蠢的, 我们不完美的方式。 |
| 312 | She's simultaneously quite mocking and critical of this provincial community. | 她同时相当嘲弄和批评这个省社区. |
| 313 | But she also writes it with a lot of fondness. | 但她也写了很多的爱。 |
| 314 | I really, really relate to Maggie and to her love of knowledge and learning and also to her deep, deep need to be loved. | 我真的,真的, 涉及到玛姬 和她对知识和学习的热爱 以及她的深,深 需要被爱。 |
| 315 | I think it's just a really interesting idea as well about how our childhood experiences and relationships are so formative. | 我认为这也是一个非常有趣的想法 关于我们的童年经历和关系是如何如此的形成。 |
| 316 | Throughout the novel, this is shown to be both a blessing and a curse. | 在整个小说中,这既表现为祝福,也表现为诅咒. |
| 317 | Okay, we've had a change of battery because I've been wittering on for so long. | 好了,我们换了个电池 因为我已经晃了这么久 |
| 318 | Let's plough on through. | 让我们犁通过。 |

| 338 | Hardy is one of my favourite authors actually. | 哈代是我最喜欢的作者之一 |
| 339 | I'm reading The Woodlanders by Hardy at the moment and I just love the way he writes. | 我现在在读哈代的《木地人》 我很喜欢他写的东西 |
| 340 | I don't know, it sounds like a bit of a strange one to put on your list of favourite books because it is so tragic. | 我不知道,这听起来有点奇怪 将你最喜欢的书列表 因为它是如此悲惨。 |
| 341 | It isn't exactly uplifting. | 它不完全提升。 |
| 342 | In fact, it's entirely heartbreaking. | 事实上,这是完全令人心碎的。 |
| 343 | It's pretty bleak. | 相当阴暗 |
| 344 | However, I do love it nonetheless. | 不过,我还是很喜欢 |
| 345 | It's set in Hardy's fictional Wessex, an area of rural England that he kind of created and set a lot of his fiction in. | 它被设定在哈代虚构的韦塞克斯(英语:Wessex)中,这是他创作并设定了大量虚构作品的英格兰乡村地区. |
| 346 | It's set during the 1870s. | 设定于1870年代. |
| 347 | The novel follows the young woman Tess Durleyfield whose impoverished family is led to believe that they are related to this local noble family. | 小说追随年轻女子苔丝·杜利菲尔德,她贫穷的家庭被引导相信他们与当地的贵族家庭有关. |
| 348 | Tess, as their eldest daughter, is sent to claim kinship with the Dervavilles. | 苔丝作为他们的长女,被派去宣称与德瓦维尔人有亲属关系. |
| 349 | She is seduced by the lascivious Alec Dervaville and it kind of begins this chain of events which lead to Tess' downfall. | 她被淫荡的阿莱克·德瓦维尔所勾引 它开始这连串事件 导致泰丝的下坠 |

| 351 | She has to choose whether to share her past with him or whether to preserve her happiness and basically build her life on a lie. | 她必须选择是和他分享她的过去,还是保留她的幸福,基本上在谎言的基础上建立自己的生活. |
| 352 | In typical Hardy fashion, it focuses a lot on determinism and on fate and our inability to control our fate. | 在典型的哈代时态中,它主要关注决定主义和命运以及我们无法控制我们的命运. |
| 353 | It gives a portrait of a changing rural society, changing in terms of class, in terms of industrialisation and the way that changes the landscape. | 它描绘了不断变化的农村社会,在阶级、工业化和改变景观的方式方面的变化。 |
| 354 | At the time, his choice to focus on the rural lower classes and his treatment of the themes of sexuality and marriage and femininity were pretty radical. | 当时,他选择注重农村下层阶级,对性与婚姻,女性主义等主题的处理相当激进. |
| 355 | I find the way that Hardy writes about gender relations and sexuality, the way in which women were continually sexualised and yet censured for their sexuality, I find it so fascinating. | 我发现哈代写性别关系和性爱的方式, 即妇女持续性化, |

| 357 | I won't go into a lot of huge detail because this is a very big subject that I could talk for a very long time about, but I find Hardy's representation of female sexuality so interesting because it's so self-contradictory at times. | 我不会谈很多大细节,因为这是一个非常大的主题,我可以谈论很长一段时间,但是我发现哈代对女性性欲的描述非常有趣,因为有时它很自相矛盾. |
| 358 | Even though Hardy's novels are completely heartbreaking and completely tragic, I just love them. | 虽然哈代的小说是完全令人心碎的,也是完全悲剧的,但我只爱它们. |
| 359 | He creates characters who you instantly want to and you instantly just want the best for them, even though you know that they're not going to get the best because this is a Hardy novel so it's going to be sad. | 他创造出你立刻想要的人物, 你却立刻想得到最好的人物, 尽管你知道他们不会得到最好的人物, 因为这是一部哈代小说,所以它会很伤心。 |
| 360 | He writes so beautifully and tenderly about the landscape, the seasons and about human connection and he really endows rural lives with this beauty and tenderness in a way that hadn't really been done before. | 他写得如此美丽和温柔 有关风景,季节和人际关系, 他真正赋予乡村生活 与这种美丽和温柔 的方式, 从来没有真正做过。 |
| 361 | I'm also really, really enjoying Woodlanders and I think that's probably going to make its way onto my list of favourite books. | 我也很享受伍德兰德斯 我想这可能会成为我最喜欢的书 |
| 362 | Next we have The Grey Gatsby, which is also a very classic classic. | 接下来我们有"灰盖茨比",这也是非常经典的经典. |
| 363 | I studied this for A-level and it still has all my sticky notes and lots of highlighting. | 我为A级研究了它, 它仍然有我所有的粘性笔记和很多突出。 |

Scott Fitzgerald called the Jazz Age, era of economic boom, commercial growth and of huge social change and of prohibition and also lots of illegal drinking and partying as well | 以防万一,The Grey Gatsby 出版于1925年, 在F.

| 370 | I don't want to give any spoilers but at the heart of the novel is a very tragic love story and a deconstruction of the decadence and materialism of the 1920s. | 我不想给任何破坏者,但小说的核心是一个非常悲惨的爱情故事,以及1920年代的破旧和唯物主义的解构. |
| 371 | The America that Fitzgerald shows us is one that is entirely devoid of morality. | 菲茨杰拉德向我们展示的美国是完全没有道德的。 |
| 372 | It's a kind of brutal, disillusioned, superficial and unjust world. | 这是一种残酷,失望,肤浅和不公正的世界. |
| 373 | What the novel is most famous for is its deconstruction of the American dream, the kind of founding American myth of meritocracy that in America there is equality for all. | 小说最著名的是它解构了美国梦,这种开创性的美国神话中的功绩管理,即在美国人人平等. |
| 374 | Anyone can achieve or become anything. | 任何人都可以实现或成为任何东西。 |
| 375 | This dream is shown to be elusive and false. | 这一梦被证明是难以捉摸的和虚假的. |
| 376 | Before reading The Great Gatsby I don't think I'd ever come across a novel that so scathingly critiques its society or which contains such flawed, highly deplorable characters. | 在读《伟大的盖茨比》之前,我想我从未见过一部小说, 这部小说如此尖锐地批评了社会, 或包含着如此有缺陷,非常可悲的人物。 |
| 377 | It's so completely of its time and so encapsulates the zeitgeist of 1920s America while also encapsulating America as a country and American history and American national values. | 它是如此的彻底的时代,并因此封装了1920年代的美国齐格主义者,同时也封装了美国作为一个国家以及美国历史和美国的国家价值. |

| 418 | and the dull, reserved, superficial, tedious Cecil Weiss, who is her fiancé. | 和沉闷,保留,肤浅,乏味的塞西尔·魏斯, 她的未婚夫。 |
| 419 | One of the things that I do love about Forster is the way that he destabilises the kind of binaries that he appears to set up. | 我对福斯特的热爱之一是 他破坏他看起来所设置的二进制 |
| 420 | So even though there does seem to be this conflict between George and Cecil, and they appear to be foiled of each other, | 所以尽管乔治和塞西尔之间似乎有冲突 他们似乎被挫败了 |
| 421 | Cecil is this kind of personification of an Edwardian society preoccupied with propriety and appearances. | 塞西尔是爱德华社会的人性化 专注于适当的外表 |
| 422 | Forster also shows us that they're far more complex than this, that we all have a shared humanity. | 福斯特还告诉我们,它们远比这个复杂,我们都有一个共同的人性. |
| 423 | The theme that you can see centrally throughout all of his books is this one about connection, | 在他的所有书中你都能集中看到的主题 是关于连接的 |
| 424 | whether it's possible to forge connections across social boundaries, which I think is a really fascinating question. | 能否跨越社会界限建立联系 我认为这是一个非常有趣的问题。 |

| 427 | His writing is very efficient and very emotive, and I kind of feel like every interaction and every image | 他的写作非常高效,非常有情感,我感觉就像每一个互动和每个图像 |
| 428 | feels like it serves the narrative and it serves what it is that he's trying to convey. | 感觉像它服务于叙述 它服务于他试图表达的。 |
| 429 | Similarly to Chopin, I love the sense of place that he creates, the sense of Florence and of the warmth | 和肖邦一样 我爱他创造的地方感 佛罗伦萨感和温暖感 |
| 430 | and of the kind of Mediterranean-ness of it, and then also the kind of beauty of the English countryside as well. | 也是英国乡村的美 |

| 437 | Again, this is kind of cheating because it's a play, sorry. | 再说一遍,这是作弊,因为那是场戏,对不起。 |
| 438 | And I do think that Shakespeare needs to be seen on stage to be fully appreciated, | 我确实认为莎士比亚需要出现在舞台上 才能得到充分的赞赏 |
| 439 | because I don't think I fully understood or really enjoyed Shakespeare until I saw it on stage. | 因为我觉得在舞台上看到莎士比亚之前 我并不完全理解或真正喜欢她 |
