內(nèi)容概要

　　長期以來，我深感國內(nèi)缺乏適當(dāng)?shù)挠⒄Z讀物，在書店能夠看到的英文原版圖書不是價(jià)格昂貴，就是鴻篇巨制，對在校的學(xué)生及英語學(xué)習(xí)者來講，這樣既會(huì)造成畏難情緒又不實(shí)用，對培養(yǎng)他們學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣、提高他們的英語水平極為不利。社會(huì)科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)出版社針對這種情形，同時(shí)配合他們的“自學(xué)英語行動(dòng)計(jì)劃”，精心策劃出版《英語課外自學(xué)文庫》，并誠邀我擔(dān)綱主編，他們用心良苦，我也欣然應(yīng)允。　　《英語課外自學(xué)文庫》首批編輯出版的各輯圖書都是依據(jù)在世界各地流傳廣泛而深受歡迎的英語文學(xué)作品縮寫而成（以后還要出版各類英文版知識(shí)性讀物），是長期在非英語國家從事英語教育的英國專家S.E.Paces特意為中國學(xué)生精心打造的。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　These two writers were the leading English novelists of the runeteenth century. While Dickens preferred to write about the sufferings of the poor people in England， Thackeray chose to expose the follies of the rich. He described his book “Vanity Fair” as a novel without a hero. Thackeray described men and women just as they are in reallife -neither wholly good nor wholly bad， but all of them are deceived or deluded in some way. He wrote about the social life of the upper classes of England 170 years ago， at the time when Napoleon Bonaparte was threatening the peace of Europe.　　The title “Vanity Fair” comes from the town of Vanity in John Bunyan‘s book “The Pilgrim’s Progress”. Bunyan escribes a year-long fair held in that town， where hawkers sold fine houses，land， positions， titles， kingdoms， evil pleasures and delights of all kinds. The phrase “Vanity Fair” now means the world with its glittering temptations and pleasures which always deceive human　　beings. In his book， Thackeray describes a world peopled by greedy， pompous， self-satisfied men and women who live without God， without religion， and without moral scruples of any kind.In this edition， Thackeray‘s story has been simplified so that students may enjoy reading it without having to use the dictionary too often. However， the author has tried to keep to Thackeray’s unique way of telling the story and of describing the characters of people， hoping that the reader may understand at least a little of the geruus that made hackeray stand out amongst 19th century novelists.　　……
