成长是一个经历苦难、收藏苦难、感悟生命、觉醒思想,使精神叠加与积淀并最后得以升华的过程。乔治.艾略特的很多小说涉及成长的主题。《亚当.贝德》中的亚当和《罗慕拉》中的罗慕拉在成长的路上迟疑、彷徨过,但成长的艰辛使他们最后都领悟了人生的真谛。 Growth is a process of suffering, collecting misery, sentiment of life, awakening of thought, superposition and accumulation of spirit and finally sublimation. Many of George Eliot’s novels deal with the theme of growth. Adam in Adam Bod and Romola in Romula hesitated on the road of growth, but the hardships of growth finally led them to comprehend the true meaning of life.
