三四年级的时候便买了高尔基的这本书——《童年·在人间·我的大学》,年纪原因吧,当时觉得很深奥,看不懂,于是就扔在了一边。在老师的推荐下,初二的我再次翻开这本书便品出一番滋味。
When I was in third or fourth grade, I bought Gorky's book "Childhood, In the Human World, My University". Due to my age, I thought it was very profound and couldn't understand it, so I threw it aside. With the recommendation of my teacher, as a second year student, I opened this book again and tasted its flavor.
整本书给我的感觉就是苦难,醉汉、妓女、小偷这样的词频繁地出现,各种各样的人情世故,各个阶层人民的生活,生动地出现在我面前。然而在书里近乎黑暗的生活中,发出一点点光亮的是亲情和书本。来源 wwW.ZUowEnbA.nET
The whole book gives me the feeling of suffering, with words like drunkenness, prostitute, and thief appearing frequently. Various social customs and the lives of people from different social classes vividly appear in front of me. However, in the almost dark life depicted in the book, it is the bonds of family and books that emit a little light.
虽然说,阿列克赛的童年生活在家人的纠纷当中,且经常挨外公的毒打,但还是有外婆微弱的力量庇护着。让我印象最深的是在人间的部分:刚开始是去了外婆的妹妹家,后来在船上打工,接着又去了圣像作坊。已经不记得阿列克赛是怎样迷上书的了,只知道他向各种各样的人借书,用微薄的工资买书,然后又不顾挨打的可能看书,把好的句子抄在笔记本上,他躲在黑暗的角落里接着微弱的烛光如饥似渴地看书的,情景总是在我脑海里浮现。
Although Alexei's childhood was filled with family disputes and frequent beatings from his grandfather, he still had the weak protection of his grandmother. What impressed me the most was the part on earth: at first, I went to my grandmother's sister's house, later worked on a boat, and then went to the statue workshop. I don't remember how Alexei became obsessed with reading books anymore. All I know is that he borrowed books from all kinds of people, bought books with a meager salary, and then read them regardless of the possibility of being beaten. He copied good sentences into his notebook and hid in a dark corner, then read them greedily under the dim candlelight. The scene always comes to my mind.
就是在这种生活环境里,不睡觉也挤出时间看书,日子一天天过也会不觉地变得充实。就是这种对知识的渴望,以至于在生活中获得别人的欣赏,以至于后来他上大学之路。
In this kind of living environment, even if you don't sleep, you can make time to read books, and day by day, you will unconsciously become fulfilled. It was this thirst for knowledge that led to gaining appreciation from others in life, and eventually his path to college.
书中至少也出现过上百个人物,每个人物都描写得十分特色,生动形象,让我想起《福楼拜家的星期天》文章中的人物描写。而外婆担任的则是活菩萨的形象:尽管外公脾气暴躁,常常打外婆,外婆依旧在外公晚年痴呆的时候尽心照顾,即使靠捡破烂为生也尽力养活自私懒惰的孙子……阿列克赛总是把善良可敬的人牢记在心中,像“好事情”、裁缝的妻子、“玛尔戈皇后”等等。
At least hundreds of characters have appeared in the book, each described in a very distinctive and vivid way, which reminds me of the character descriptions in the article "Sunday at the Flaubert House". And the image of the living bodhisattva held by the grandmother: although the grandfather had a hot temper and often beat her, the grandmother still took care of him wholeheartedly in his later years when he was dementia. Even if he relied on scavenging for a living, she tried her best to support her selfish and lazy grandson... Alexei always remembered kind and respectable people in his heart, such as "good things", the tailor's wife, "Queen Margo", and so on.
我想,社会是复杂的,要学会与各种各样的人相处,择其善者而从之,其不善者而改之。多一点时间看书,多一点时间思考,让自己能够在困境中前进摆脱困难,追求美好!
I think society is complex, and we need to learn to get along with all kinds of people, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Spend more time reading and thinking, so that you can move forward in difficult situations, overcome difficulties, and pursue beauty!
