Book World: Two centuries after her birth, Emily Bront?'s gifts keep giving
圖書世界:誕辰兩個(gè)世紀(jì)后导绷,艾米莉·勃朗特遺留的瑰寶,依然魅力無窮
Even the light of 200 birthday candles couldn't pierce the gloom of "Wuthering Heights." But the fire that burned within Emily Bront? roars across the centuries.
即使是 200 根生日蠟燭所散發(fā)出的光芒也無法穿透《呼嘯山莊》所籠罩著的黑暗屎飘。但在艾米莉·勃朗特體內(nèi)熊熊燃燒的熾熱火光妥曲,轟隆隆地“呼嘯”了整整幾個(gè)世紀(jì)。?
The younger sister of Charlotte, Emily was born on July 30, 1818, in Yorkshire, England. Together with her siblings, Emily stoked a furnace of creativity unique in the annals of literary history. The children wrote fantastical stories together, spinning imaginary worlds of romantic adventure.
作為夏洛特的妹妹钦购,艾米莉于 1818 年 7 月 30 日出生在英格蘭的約克郡檐盟。艾米莉和她兄弟姐妹們一起助燃藝術(shù)創(chuàng)新之火,成為文學(xué)史上一道獨(dú)特的風(fēng)景線押桃。他們一起書寫奇幻故事葵萎,在虛構(gòu)的世界里,編造著一段段浪漫奇遇唱凯。
Only poetic remnants of that juvenilia survive today, but during their brief lives, each of the Bront? sisters managed to publish at least one novel, and none of them generates more cultish devotion than "Wuthering Heights." Yes, Charlotte's "Jane Eyre" may have more readers, but the tale of young Catherine and Heathcliff remains the most feverish love story in English literature.
他們少年時(shí)代的作品中羡忘,只有部分詩歌遺作殘存至今,然而波丰,在她們短暫的一生中壳坪,每一位勃朗特姐妹都成功地出版過至少一部小說,但沒有一部所受到的狂熱追捧比《呼嘯山莊》還多掰烟。是的爽蝴,夏洛特的《簡(jiǎn)愛》可能有更多的讀者,但是年輕的凱瑟琳和希斯克利夫的故事仍然是英國文學(xué)中最為熾熱的愛情故事纫骑。
Emily, after all, is the woman who wrote, "No coward soul is mine / No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere." And the characters she created are just as fearless, just as audacious in their disregard for what is expected, what is reasonable, what makes sense. The wonder of "Wuthering Heights" is its exponential emotions: "such anguish in the gush of grief!"
畢竟蝎亚,艾米莉是曾寫出這樣句子的女人:“我沒有怯懦的靈魂/在世間的狂風(fēng)急驟之處亦不戰(zhàn)栗”。而她所塑造的角色亦同樣無所畏懼先馆、敢作敢為发框,完全地漠視人們的期待和要求,對(duì)正當(dāng)或合理的事情也置若罔聞煤墙∶饭撸《呼嘯山莊》的神奇之處就在于它那指數(shù)式倍增的強(qiáng)烈情感:“一股劇痛涌上心頭,讓人如此的哀慟欲絕”仿野!
We know Catherine is doomed and Heathcliff is "a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man," but how subversive, how bewitching such unbridled passion feels in our self-conscious age of transactional hookups and enlightened unions. No dating app would ever bring these two lovers together; no marriage algorithm would ever predict a happy future. And yet . ... "He's more myself than I am," Catherine cries. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
我們知道凱瑟琳的悲劇是注定的铣减,希斯克利夫是“一個(gè)兇猛、無情脚作、殘忍的人”葫哗,但在我們這個(gè)矯揉造作的時(shí)代缔刹,交易型的勾搭與開放式的結(jié)合隨處可見,相比之下劣针,他們兩人之間自然流露校镐、無拘無束的熾烈感情是多么的具有顛覆性、多么的令人著迷捺典。沒有一款相親軟件能把這對(duì)戀人連合在一起鸟廓,也沒有一套婚姻算法能預(yù)測(cè)一個(gè)幸福的未來。然而……“他比我更像我自己辣苏,”凱瑟琳呼喊道肝箱,“無論我們的靈魂是由什么構(gòu)成的哄褒,他的和我的是一樣的稀蟋。”

No Coward Soul Is Mine
By Emily Bront?
No coward soul is mine?
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere?
I see Heaven's glories shine?
And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear
O God within my breast?
Almighty ever-present Deity?
Life, that in me hast rest,?
As I Undying Life, have power in Thee
Vain are the thousand creeds?
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain,?
Worthless as withered weeds?
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main
To waken doubt in one?
Holding so fast by thy infinity,?
So surely anchored on?
The steadfast rock of Immortality.?
With wide-embracing love?
Thy spirit animates eternal years?
Pervades and broods above,?
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears
Though earth and moon were gone?
And suns and universes ceased to be?
And Thou wert left alone?
Every Existence would exist in thee
There is not room for Death?
Nor atom that his might could render void?
Since thou art Being and Breath?
And what thou art may never be destroyed.?
勃朗特三姐妹:英國文學(xué)史上的三顆星
在英國文學(xué)史上榨咐,勃朗特三姐妹是一個(gè)奇跡介却。她們既作為璀璨的三顆星而閃耀,又作為單獨(dú)的巨星而發(fā)光祭芦。經(jīng)過多年時(shí)間的考驗(yàn)筷笨,《簡(jiǎn)·愛》和《呼嘯山莊》已經(jīng)在世界文學(xué)寶庫中占據(jù)了不可動(dòng)搖的地位,而安妮的《艾格妮絲·格雷》與《懷爾德菲爾府上的房客》兩部小說,雖名氣較低胃夏,也在英國文學(xué)史上占有一席之地轴或。
然而很多人并不知道,勃朗特姐妹出身在一個(gè)偏僻的約克郡小村莊的狹小房子里仰禀,在強(qiáng)調(diào)自我犧牲的維多利亞時(shí)代照雁,她們?nèi)硕际潜灰蟪蔀楸M職的、循規(guī)蹈矩且自我犧牲的女孩答恶。她們?cè)谛r(shí)候就失去了母親饺蚊,而后又有兩位姐姐早早去世。在如此不公又充滿挫折的時(shí)代與生活中悬嗓,勃朗特三姐妹卻如同“三日當(dāng)空”污呼,照亮了彼時(shí)幾乎被男性作家壟斷的文學(xué)天空。雖然夏洛蒂包竹、艾米麗燕酷、安妮三人有著不同的性格和文學(xué)特征,然而短暫的生命和豐厚的文學(xué)成就周瞎,使她們長久以來一直被神秘苗缩、爭(zhēng)議和好奇所環(huán)繞。2016 年声诸,英國 BBC 廣播公司也制作出品了影片《隱于書后》(To Walk Invisible)酱讶,再現(xiàn)與還原了這個(gè)傳奇家族三姐妹的文學(xué)歷程和人生軌跡。
