| The Great Gatsby | 了不起的盖茨比 | Gatsby’s mansion on Long Island blazes with light, and the beautiful, the wealthy, and the famous drive out from New York to drink Gatsby’s champagne and to party all night long. But Jay Gatsby, the owner of all this wealth, wants only one thing – to find again the woman of his dreams, the woman he has held in his heart and his memory for five long years.The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, is one of the great American novels of the 20th century. It captures perfectly the Jazz Age of the 1920s, and goes deep into the hollow heart of the American Dream. | 盖茨比在长岛的豪宅灯火通明,美丽、富有、和有名的人纷纷从纽约开车出来,喝盖茨比的香槟,通宵狂欢。但是杰伊·盖茨比,所有这些财富的拥有者,只想要一件事——重新找到他梦中的女人,那个在他心中和记忆中珍藏了五年之久的女人。《了不起的盖茨比》是F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的代表作,是20世纪美国最伟大的小说之一。它完美地捕捉了20世纪20年代的爵士时代,并深入到美国梦的空洞核心。 |
| I, Robot-Short Stories | 我,机器人 | A human being is a soft, weak creature. It needs constant supplies of air, water, and food; it has to spend a third of its life asleep, and it can’t work if the temperature is too hot or too cold.But a robot is made of strong metal. It uses electrical energy directly, never sleeps, and can work in any temperature. It is stronger, more efficient – and sometimes more human than human beings.Isaac Asimov was one of the greatest science-fiction writers, and these short stories give us an unforgettable and terrifying vision of the future. | 人是一种柔软、脆弱的生物。它需要持续的空气、水和食物供应;人一生中有三分之一的时间都在睡觉,如果温度太热或太冷,就无法工作。但是机器人是由坚固的金属制成的。它直接使用电能,从不睡觉,可以在任何温度下工作。它更强大,更高效,有时甚至比人类更人性化。艾萨克·阿西莫夫是最伟大的科幻作家之一,这些短篇小说给我们带来了令人难忘而又可怕的未来景象。 |
| The Merchant of Venice | 威尼斯商人 | In 16th century Venice – a city of wealthy merchants and bankers – money is all-important. Bassanio is penniless, but his great friend Antonio offers to help him by borrowing the money that he needs. To do this, though, Antonio must make an arrangement with an old enemy that puts his life in danger… The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, and it has been performed all over the world. It is retold in this Bookworm not as a play, but as a story. | 16世纪的威尼斯,一个富有的商人和银行家的城市,在这里金钱是最重要的。巴萨尼奥身无分文,但他的好朋友安东尼奥提出借给他需要的钱来帮助他。然而,为了做到这一点,安东尼奥必须与他的宿敌达成协议,这将使他的生命处于危险之中……《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亚最受欢迎的戏剧之一,并已在世界各地上演。在这本《书虫》中,它不是作为戏剧,而是作为一个故事重述的。 |
| The Riddle of the Sands | 沙岸之谜 | When Carruthers joins his friend Arthur Davies on his yacht Dulcibella, he is expecting a pleasant sailing holiday in the Baltic Sea. But the holiday turns into an adventure of a different kind. He and Davies soon find themselves sailing in the stormy waters of the North Sea, exploring the channels and sandbanks around the German Frisian Islands, and looking for a secret – a secret that could mean great danger for England.Erskine Childers’ novel, published in 1903, was the first great modern spy story, and is still as exciting to read today as it was a hundred years ago. | 当卡拉瑟斯和他的朋友亚瑟·戴维斯一起乘坐游艇“杜尔西贝拉”时,他期待着在波罗的海度过一个愉快的航海假期。但假期变成了一种不同的冒险。他和戴维斯很快发现他们在北海的暴风雨中航行,探索德属弗里斯兰群岛周围的海峡和沙洲,寻找一个秘密——一个对英国来说可能意味着巨大危险的秘密。厄斯金·查尔德斯的小说出版于1903年,是第一部伟大的现代间谍故事,今天读起来仍然像一百年前一样令人兴奋。 |

| Great Expectation | 远大前程 | In a gloomy, neglected house Miss Havisham sits, as she has sat year after year, in a wedding dress and veil that were once white, and are now faded and yellow with age. Her face is like a death’s head; her dark eyes burn with bitterness and hate. By her side sits a proud and beautiful girl, and in front of her, trembling with fear in his thick country boots, stands young Pip.Miss Havisham stares at Pip coldly, and murmurs to the girl at her side: ‘Break his heart, Estella. Break his heart!’ | 郝薇香小姐坐在一所阴暗的、无人照管的房子里,她年复一年地坐着一样,穿着一件曾经是白色的结婚礼服和面纱,现在随着年龄的增长已经褪色发黄了。她的脸像死人的头;她的黑眼睛里闪烁着苦涩和仇恨。在她身边坐着一个骄傲而美丽的女孩,在她的前面站着小匹普,他穿着厚厚的乡村靴子,害怕得发抖。郝薇香小姐冷冷地盯着比普,对她身边的姑娘低声说:“伤他的心,艾丝黛拉。伤他的心!” |
| Sense and Sensibility | 理性与感性 | Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense – or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage.True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping? | 有时候,达什伍德家的姑娘们看上去并不像姐妹。埃丽诺头脑冷静,通情达理,她的实际见解是可以信赖的。玛丽安则完全是感性的,充满了激情和浪漫的感觉。她没有时间去搞无聊的常识,也没有时间去理会35岁的中年男人,他们早已过了结婚年龄。当然,真正的爱情只能由年轻人来感受。如果你在十七岁时就心碎了,你怎么能指望从充满你生活的激情和痛苦中恢复过来呢? |

The house is called Wuthering Heights.When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house. | 约克郡荒原上的风很大。这里几乎没有树木,也没有房子可以挡住它的去路。然而,有一所房子并没有躲得过风。它从山上脱颖而出,挑战风迎接最坏的情况。这座房子叫呼啸山庄。当恩萧先生把一个奇怪、又小又黑的孩子带回呼啸山庄时,似乎他已经向麻烦敞开了大门。他邀请了一些东西进来,就像风一样,但把它挡在屋外更安全。 |
