狄更斯真是夜雨秋灯里营造诡异情调的圣手。他长达80万言的《荒凉山庄》(上海译文出版社1979年版)我一口气读下来,但觉冷风挟裹满地枯叶穸穸簌簌游过阴湿的后花园,神经绷得好紧。待到第40章,人们发现切斯尼山庄主人累斯特爵士体态壮硕,“那样子活像个大冰箱”——读到这儿,可真觉得幽默了。一个19世纪的作家,居然预知了20世纪的电器发明?起狄更斯于九泉,瞥 Dickens really created a stranger in the autumn rain. His 80,000 words “Bleak House” (Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 1979 edition) I read at a glance, but I felt the cold wind blowing through the wet back garden, and my nerves were stretched. tight. In chapter 40, people find that the owner of the Chesney Hills, Master Rust, has a large body and he “likes to be like a big refrigerator” - when he reads this, he really feels humor. A 19th-century writer actually predicted the invention of electrical appliances in the 20th century. Dickens was in Jiuquan.
