内容简介
The most famous of all story collections,
The Arabian Nights, also known as
The Book of the Thousand and One Nights, is beloved around the world. Composed of Persian, Arabic, Greek, Indian, and other sources that accumulated over hundreds of years, these fabulous stories-within-stories have long fired readers’ imaginations with an enchanted world of flying carpets, magic lamps, genies, demons, magicians and sorceresses, carnivorous giants, and bloodthirsty bandits.?
Translation has played a key role in the formation of
The Arabian Nights as we know it, making it far more prominent in the West than it has ever been in the Arab world. Westerners’ first discovery of some of the tales in the early eighteenth century sparked a feverish thirst for more, which led to compilations that freely adapted, reconfigured, and even added to the originals. The resulting love affair with the art, architecture, literature, cuisine, and culture of the East significantly remapped the European literary landscape.
Editor Wen-chin Ouyang has compiled a carefully chosen selection from influential English translations, showcasing the strengths of different translators, including Richard Burton, Edward Lane, Jonathan Scott, and John Payne. Here are Shahrazad, Sinbad the Sailor, Aladdin, Ali Baba, and many more, in the most readable and enjoyable versions available.

上面提到的伊丽莎、约翰和乔奇安娜·里德,这时候都在休憩室里,正簇拥在他们的母亲周围,她斜靠在炉边的沙发上,心爱的儿女都在身旁(这忽儿既不争吵,又不哭闹),看上去很是快活。她没让我和他们在一起;她说她很遗憾,不得不叫我离他们远一点;她真的不能把只给知足快乐的小孩的那些特权给我,除非是白茜告诉了她,而且还要她自己亲眼看到,我确实是在认认真真地努力培养一种更加天真随和的性情,一种更加活泼可爱的态度——大概是更轻快、更坦率、更自然的一种什么吧。

那一天不可能去散步了。不错,我们早上已经在片叶无存的灌木林中逛了一个钟头;但是,自从吃午饭的时候起(如果没有客人,里德太太是很早吃午饭的),冬日的凛冽寒风就送来了那样阴沉的云和那样透骨的雨,这就不可能再在户外活动了。

略脏,是侧面有很多灰的痕迹,不过仔细擦之后会好很多。

我倒是很高兴,我素来不爱远距离的散步,特别是在寒冷的下午。对我来说,在阴冷的黄昏回家实在可怕,手指和脚趾都冻僵了,还得听保姆白茜的责骂,弄得心里很不痛快,而且自己觉得体质不如伊丽莎、约翰和乔奇安娜·里德,又感到低人一等。
