前言
伊迪絲·內(nèi)斯比特(1858-1924),英國(guó)著名作家。她出生于倫敦,先后在法國(guó)、德國(guó)和英國(guó)接受教育。她的父親是農(nóng)業(yè)化學(xué)家,在她三歲的時(shí)候去世了。伊迪絲是一個(gè)充滿想象力的兒童文學(xué)作家,一生共出版了四十多部?jī)和膶W(xué)作品,其中大部分已經(jīng)成為世界兒童文學(xué)中的經(jīng)典之作。十七歲的時(shí)候,伊迪絲就開(kāi)始在雜志上發(fā)表自己的作品。她二十一歲結(jié)婚,由于丈夫生意破產(chǎn)且長(zhǎng)期生病,所以經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù)的伊迪絲一家一直靠她的寫作為生。以至于在她的暮年時(shí)期,還要靠英國(guó)政府發(fā)給的養(yǎng)老金度日。伊迪絲的兒童文學(xué)主要分為兩類:一類是小說(shuō),代表作有《尋寶六人組合》、《闖禍的快樂(lè)少年》、《想做好孩子》和《鐵路邊的孩子們》等,主要描寫現(xiàn)實(shí)家庭的冒險(xiǎn)故事,這類作品對(duì)兒童性格刻畫(huà)鮮明,對(duì)家庭生活描寫真切動(dòng)人;另一類是童話故事,代表作有《五個(gè)孩子和一個(gè)怪物》、《魔堡》等,這些故事懸念重重、曲折離奇、想象力豐富,給孩子以身臨其境、真實(shí)可信的感覺(jué)。伊迪絲還寫了許多成人文學(xué)作品,但使她享譽(yù)世界的還是兒童文學(xué)作品。在伊迪絲的眾多經(jīng)典兒童文學(xué)作品中,《鐵路邊的孩子們》是其中的典型代表,它是世界兒童文學(xué)的瑰寶。該書(shū)出版一百多年來(lái)被譯成幾十種文字,受到全世界各國(guó)人民的喜愛(ài)。根據(jù)這部小說(shuō)拍成的電影也同樣在世界范圍內(nèi)廣受歡迎。在中國(guó),《鐵路邊的孩子們》同樣是最受廣大青少年讀者歡迎的經(jīng)典童話作品之一。目前,在國(guó)內(nèi)數(shù)量眾多的《鐵路邊的孩子們》書(shū)籍中,主要的出版形式有兩種:一種是中文翻譯版,另一種是中英文對(duì)照版。而其中的中英文對(duì)照讀本比較受讀者的歡迎,這主要是得益于中國(guó)人熱衷于學(xué)習(xí)英文的大環(huán)境。從英文學(xué)習(xí)的角度來(lái)看,直接使用純英文的學(xué)習(xí)資料更有利于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)??紤]到對(duì)英文內(nèi)容背景的了解有助于英文閱讀,使用中文導(dǎo)讀應(yīng)該是一種比較好的方式,也可以說(shuō)是該類型書(shū)的第三種版本形式。
內(nèi)容概要
The Railway Children,中文譯名為《鐵路邊的孩子們》,它是由英國(guó)著名作家伊迪絲·內(nèi)斯比特編著。這是一部講述關(guān)于美好心靈和逆境成長(zhǎng)的感人故事。一家人遭到變故,父親蒙冤被捕,三個(gè)孩子隨母親從城市搬到鐵路附近的鄉(xiāng)下居住。孩子們理解母親養(yǎng)育他們的艱辛和因父親不在身邊所飽受的心理痛苦,因而盡力安慰和幫助母親。同時(shí)他們又熱心關(guān)心和幫助別人。正因?yàn)檫@樣,才引發(fā)了一系列的傳奇故事:他們機(jī)智地避免了一場(chǎng)可怕的鐵路事故,收留了一位流亡的作家,撲滅了運(yùn)河駁船上的火險(xiǎn),還救助了一位在隧道中摔傷的少年……他們高尚的行為贏得了人們的尊重,最后在好心人的幫助下為父親洗清了冤屈。該書(shū)出版一百年來(lái),被譯成世界上幾十種文字,曾經(jīng)先后多次被改編成戲劇、電影、電視和卡通片等。書(shū)中所展現(xiàn)的傳奇故事伴隨了一代又一代人的美麗童年、少年直至成年。無(wú)論作為語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的課本,還是作為通俗的文學(xué)讀本,全文引進(jìn)該書(shū)對(duì)當(dāng)代中國(guó)的青少年都將產(chǎn)生積極的影響。為了使讀者能夠了解英文故事概況,進(jìn)而提高閱讀速度和閱讀水平,在每章的開(kāi)始部分增加了中文導(dǎo)讀。

I don’t suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook’s, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud’s. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and ‘every modern convenience’, as the house-agents say. There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother had had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well. Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll’s house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps. These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was not ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn’t help himself. You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed. The dreadful change came quite suddenly. Peter had a birthday—his tenth. Among his other presents was a model engine more perfect than you could ever have dreamed of. The other presents were full of charm, but the Engine was fuller of charm than any of the others were.
