《就英法联军远征中国致布特勒上尉的信》是以英法联军侵华战争为背景的文章 ,布特勒上尉本想利用雨果的显赫声望 ,让他为远征中国的所谓胜利捧场 ,但雨果这位正直的作家 ,没有狭隘的民族主义情绪 ,反而在这封信中强烈谴责了英法联军火烧圆明园的强盗行径 ,代表了人类的良知。 “The letter of the British and French Allied Forces expedition to China’s Captain Butler” is based on the background of the Anglo-French allied war of aggression against China. Captain Butler wanted to use Hugo’s outstanding reputation to allow him to join the so-called victory in the expedition to China, but Hugo, an honest writer, did not have narrow nationalist sentiments. Instead, he strongly condemned the British and French comrades who rapped in the Yuanmingyuan and expressed the conscience of humanity.
