伊迪丝·华顿(Edith Wharton, 1862年1月24日-1937年8月11日),是19 世纪末女性现实主义作家的代表,她的一生推出了近十余部作品,包括中、长篇小说、诗歌、传记和文学批评等不同体裁。由于她生活的局限性,她的小说一般都是以一种极其细腻的手法描写着贵族生活,所以也被人称为温和现实主义作家。美国女作家,作品有《高尚的嗜好》、《纯真年代》、《四月里的阵雨》、《马恩河》、《战地英雄》等书。
ON A January evening of the early seventies, Christine Nilsson was singing in "Faust" at the Academy of Music in New York.
Though there was already talk of the erection, in remote metropolitan distances "above the Forties," of a new Opera House which should compete in costliness and splendour with those of the great European capitals, the world of fashion was still content to reassemble every winter in the shabby red and gold boxes of the sociable old Academy. Conservatives cherished it for being small and inconvenient, and thus keeping out the "new people" whom New York was beginning to dread and yet be drawn to; and the sentimental clung to it for its historic associations, and the musical for its excellent acoustics, always so problematic a quality in halls built for the hearing of music.
It was Madame Nilsson's first appearance that winter, and what the daily press had already learned to describe as "an exceptionally brilliant audience" had gathered to hear her, transported through the slippery, snowy streets in private broughams, in the spacious family landau, or in the humbler but more convenient "Brown coupé." To come to the Opera in a Brown coupe was almost as honourable a way of arriving as in one's own carriage; and departure by the same means had the immense advantage of enabling one (with a playful allusion to democratic principles) to scramble into the first Brown conveyance in the line, instead of waiting till the cold-and-gin congested nose of one's own coachman gleamed under the portico of the Academy. It was one of the great livery-stableman's most masterly intuitions to have discovered that Americans want to get away from amusement even more quickly than they want to get to it.
When Newland Archer opened the door at the back of the club box the curtain had just gone up on the garden scene. There was no reason why the young man should not have come earlier, for he had dined at seven, alone with his mother and sister, and had lingered afterward over a cigar in the Gothic library with glazed black-walnut bookcases and finial-topped chairs which was the only room in the house where Mrs. Archer allowed smoking. But, in the first place, New York was a metropolis, and perfectly aware that in metropolises it was "not the thing" to arrive early at the opera; and what was or was not "the thing" played a part as important in Newland Archer's New York as the inscrutable totem terrors that had ruled the destinies of his forefathers thousands of years ago.
The second reason for his delay was a personal one. He had dawdled over his cigar because he was at heart a dilettante, and thinking over a pleasure to come often gave him a subtler satisfaction than its realisation. This was especially the case when the pleasure was a delicate one, as his pleasures mostly were; and on this occasion the moment he looked forward to was so rare and exquisite in quality that—well, if he had timed his arrival in accord with the prima donna's stage-manager he could not have entered the Academy at a more significant moment than just as she was singing: "He loves me—he loves me not—he loves me!—" and sprinkling the falling daisy petals with notes as clear as dew.
She sang, of course, "M'ama!" and not "he loves me," since an unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences. This seemed as natural to Newland Archer as all the other conventions on which his life was moulded: such as the duty of using two silver-backed brushes with his monogram in blue enamel to part his hair, and of never appearing in society without a flower (preferably a gardenia) in his buttonhole.
"M'ama . . . non m'ama . . ." the prima donna sang, and "M'ama!" with a final burst of love triumphant, as she pressed the dishevelled daisy to her lips and lifted her large eyes to the sophisticated countenance of the little brown Faust-Capoul, who was vainly trying, in a tight purple velvet doublet and plumed cap, to look as pure and true as his artless victim.
Newland Archer, leaning against the wall at the back of the club box, turned his eyes from the stage and scanned the opposite side of the house. Directly facing him was the box of old Mrs. Manson Mingott, whose monstrous obesity had long since made it impossible for her to attend the Opera, but who was always represented on fashionable nights by some of the younger members of the family. On this occasion, the front of the box was filled by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lovell Mingott, and her daughter, Mrs. Welland; and slightly withdrawn behind these brocaded matrons sat a young girl in white with eyes ecstatically fixed on the stage lovers. As Madame Nilsson's "M'ama!" thrilled out above the silent house (the boxes always stopped talking during the Daisy Song) a warm pink mounted to the girl's cheek, mantled her brow to the roots of her fair braids, and suffused the young slope of her breast to the line where it met a modest tulle tucker fastened with a single gardenia. She dropped her eyes to the immense bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley on her knee, and Newland Archer saw her white-gloved finger-tips touch the flowers softly. He drew a breath of satisfied vanity and his eyes returned to the stage.
No expense had been spared on the setting, which was acknowledged to be very beautiful even by people who shared his acquaintance with the Opera Houses of Paris and Vienna. The foreground, to the footlights, was covered with emerald green cloth. In the middle distance symmetrical mounds of woolly green moss bounded by croquet hoops formed the base of shrubs shaped like orange-trees but studded with large pink and red roses. Gigantic pansies, considerably larger than the roses, and closely resembling the floral pen-wipers made by female parishioners for fashionable clergymen, sprang from the moss beneath the rose-trees; and here and there a daisy grafted on a rose-branch flowered with a luxuriance prophetic of Mr. Luther Burbank's far-off prodigies.
In the centre of this enchanted garden Madame Nilsson, in white cashmere slashed with pale blue satin, a reticule dangling from a blue girdle, and large yellow braids carefully disposed on each side of her muslin chemisette, listened with downcast eyes to M. Capoul's impassioned wooing, and affected a guileless incomprehension of his designs whenever, by word or glance, he persuasively indicated the ground floor window of the neat brick villa projecting obliquely from the right wing.

评分再便宜点就好了对于有钱人来说,他们不在乎东西值多少钱,和女朋友在一起他们注重的是心上人的开心,和领在一起,他们在乎的是给领买些高贵的东西,指望着自己有机会高升,和小三在一起,我就不多说了,对于我们农村的孩子来说,我们希望物美价廉,不是我们想买盗版货,不是我们爱到批发部去买,也不是我们爱和小贩斤斤计较,是我们微薄的收入难以支付。总的来说购物本身是一个开心的过程,从中我们利用自己的劳动购买自己需要的东西。京东商城的东西太便宜了,所以我来买了。发货真是出乎意料的快,昨天下午订的货,第二天一早就收到了,赞一个,书质量很好,正版。独立包装,每一本有购物清单,让人放心。帮人家买的书,周五买的书,周天就收到了,快递很好也很快,包装很完整,跟同学一起买的两本,我们都很喜欢,谢谢!好了,我现在来说说这本书的观感吧,网络文学融入主流文学之难,在于文学批评家的缺席,在于衡量标准的混乱,很长一段时间,文学批评家对网络文学集体失语,直到最近一两年来,诸多活跃于文学批评领域的评论家,才开始着手建立网络文学的评价体系,很难得的是,他们迅速掌握了网络文学的魅力内核,并对网络文学给予了高度评价、寄予了很深的厚望。随着网络文学理论体系的建立,以及网络文学在创作水准上的不断提高,网络文学成为主流文学中的主流已是清晰可见的事情,下一届的“五个一工程奖”,我们期待看到更多网络文学作品的入选。据悉,京东已经建立华北、华东、华南、西南、华中、东北六大物流中心,同时在全国超过360座城市建立核心城市配送站。是中国最大的综合网络零售商,是中国电子商务领域最受消费者欢迎和最具有影响力的电子商务网站之一,在线销售家电、数码通讯、电脑、家居百货、服装服饰、母婴、图书、食品、在线旅游等12大类数万个品牌百万种优质商品。选择京东。好了,现在给大家介绍两本好书:《电影学院037?电影语言的语法:电影剪辑的奥秘》编辑推荐:全球畅销三十余年并被翻译成数十种语言,被公认为讨论导演、摄影、剪辑等电影影像画面组织技巧方面最详密、实用的经典之作。|从实践出发阐明摄影机位、场面调度、剪辑等电影语言,为“用画面讲故事”奠定基础;百科全书式的工作手册,囊括拍摄中的所有基本设计方案,如对话场面、人物运动,使初学者能够迅速掌握专业方法;近500幅机位图、故事板贯穿全书,帮助读者一目了然地理解电影语言;对大量经典影片的典型段落进行多角度分析,如《西北偏北》、《放大》、《广岛之恋》、《桂河大桥》,深入揭示其中激动人心的奥秘;《致青年电影人的信:电影圈新人的入行锦囊》是中国老一辈电影教育工作者精心挑选的教材,在翻译、审订中投入了巨大的心力,译笔简明、准确、流畅,惠及无数电影人。二、你是否也有错过的挚爱?有些人,没有在一起,也好。如何遇见不要紧,要紧的是,如何告别。《莫失莫忘》并不简单是一本爱情小说,作者将众多社会事件作为故事的时代背景,俨然一部加长版的《倾城之恋》。“莫失莫忘”是贾宝玉那块通灵宝玉上刻的字,代表着一段看似完美实则无终的金玉良缘。叹人间美中不足今方信,纵然是举案齐眉,到底意难平。“相爱时不离不弃,分开后莫失莫忘”,这句话是秋微对感情的信仰,也是她对善缘的执念。才女作家秋微近几年最费心力写的一本小说,写作过程中由于太过投入,以至揪心痛楚到无法继续,直至完成最后一个字,大哭一场,才得以抽离出这份情感,也算是对自己前一段写作生涯的完美告别。
