亞當(dāng)和夏娃日記

1、亞當(dāng)和夏娃日記在馬克 ?吐溫的諸多名著中， 亞當(dāng)和夏娃日記可以 說是較為不起眼的一本， 但可別因此而錯(cuò)過了它。 這是馬克 ? 吐溫的晚年之作，采用日記體的形式，以細(xì)膩、溫情又不失 幽默的筆觸描寫了人類第一對夫妻亞當(dāng)和夏娃的愛情 故事，語言樸實(shí)簡練，內(nèi)蘊(yùn)卻豐富深沉。故事中的亞當(dāng)是個(gè)大大咧咧的憨小伙，有點(diǎn)孩子氣，有 點(diǎn)一根筋，有點(diǎn)不解風(fēng)情；而夏娃則是個(gè)初涉世事的年輕姑 娘，多愁善感，執(zhí)著地追求著美和愛。兩人從初識到逐漸了 解再到深深相愛，其間充滿了幽默和溫馨。作者把亞當(dāng)和夏 娃的心理刻畫得細(xì)致入微，兩人相處的過程折射出兩性交往 的諸多方面，有好奇、疑慮、誤會，也有贊賞、依戀、愛慕， 實(shí)則是對兩性關(guān)

2、系的一個(gè)頗為獨(dú)特的探討。此外，書中也通 過亞當(dāng)和夏娃天真無瑕的視角表現(xiàn)了對自然和生命單純的 探索。本書被視為馬克 ?吐溫致亡妻奧莉維婭的一封情書， 融入 了作者對亡妻的深深哀思，感情真摯動人。文末那句“哪里 有她，哪里便是伊甸園” ，余韻裊裊，令人深為動容。Perhaps I ought to remember that she is very young ， a mere girl ，and make allowances. She is all interest， eagerness，1) vivacity ， the world is to her a charm ， a wonder，

3、 a mystery ， a joy； she cant speak for delight when she finds a new flower ，she must pet it and 2)caress it and smell it and talk to it， and pour out 3 ) endearing names upon it. And she is color-mad ： brown rocks ， yellow sand， gray moss， green foliage ， blue sky； the pearl of the dawn， the purple

4、shadows on the mountains， the golden islands floating in 4 )crimson seas at sunset， the 5)pallid moon sailing through the 6 )shredded 7) cloud-rack , the starjewels glittering in the 8 ) wastes of space none of them is of any practical value ， so far as I can see， but because they have color and maj

5、esty， that is enough for her， and she loses her mind over them. If she could quiet down and keep still a couple of minutes at a time ， it would be a 9) reposeful spectacle. In that case I think I could enjoy looking at her； indeed I am sure I could ， for I am coming to realize that she is a quite re

6、markably 10)comely creature11)lithe ， slender， trim， rounded， shapely，12)nimble， graceful；and once when she was standing marble-white and sun-drenched on a boulder， with her young head 13 )tilted back and her hand shading her eyes， watching the flight of a bird in the sky ， I recognized that she was

7、 beautiful.也許我應(yīng)該想到她還非常年輕，只是個(gè)小姑娘，我應(yīng)該 體諒她。她對身邊的事物滿懷興趣，洋溢著熱情和活力。這 世界對她來說，是一個(gè)魅力之鄉(xiāng)，是一處奇跡、一道謎題、 一片歡樂所在。每當(dāng)她發(fā)現(xiàn)一朵從未見過的花兒，喜悅便難 以言喻， 一定會愛不釋手， 會輕撫它， 去聞聞它， 跟它說話， 再給它起上一連串惹人愛憐的名字。她對所有色彩都感到著 迷：褐色的巖石、黃色的沙礫、灰色的苔蘚、綠色的葉子、 蔚藍(lán)的天空；還有晨曦的珍珠色，山巒的紫色暗影，日落之 時(shí)漂浮在緋紅海面上的金色島嶼，在縷縷浮云間劃過的蒼白 月亮，浩淼的太空中如珍寶般閃亮的星星一一在我看來，所 有的這些都沒有實(shí)際的價(jià)值，但因?yàn)?/p>

8、它們有了色彩，是如此 壯麗，那對她就已經(jīng)足夠了，她會為它們心魂俱醉。如果她 能安靜下來，有時(shí)候有那么一小會兒默不做聲，那將會是一 個(gè)寧馨的場景。那樣的話，我想我會深情地凝視她。真的， 我肯定會這樣做的，因?yàn)槲覞u漸意識到她是一個(gè)十分秀麗的 可人兒一一柔媚、纖弱、充滿活力、身型玲瓏有致、動作輕 盈優(yōu)雅。有一次，她站在一塊巖石上，身體如潔白的大理石 般沐浴在陽光之下，青春的頭顱向后微傾，手搭涼棚，凝望 空中的飛鳥，那一刻我意識到她是美麗的。When I look back ， the Garden is a dream to me. It was beautiful ， surpassingly b

9、eautiful ， enchantingly beautiful ； and now it is lost ， and I shall not see it any more.The Garden is lost ， but I have found him ， and am content.He loves me as well as he can； I love him with all the strength of my passionate nature， and this， I think ， is proper to my youth and sex. Then why is

10、it that I love him ？ Merely because he is 14) masculine， I think.At bottom he is good ， and I love him for that ， but I could love him without it. If he should beat me and abuse me ， I should go on loving him. I know it. It is a matter of sex ， I think.He is strong and handsome， and I love him for t

11、hat ， and I admire him and am proud of him ， but I could love him without those qualities. If he were plain ， I should love him ； if he were a wreck， I should love him ； and I would work for him ， and slave over him， and pray for him ， and watch by his bedside until I died.Yes， I think I love him me

12、rely because he is mine and is masculine. There is no other reason， I suppose. And so I think it is as I first said ： that this kind of love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes none knows 15) whenceand cannot explain itself. And doesn t need to.當(dāng)我回首往事， 伊甸園對我就像夢一樣。 它是那么美麗，無與倫

13、比般美麗，動人心魄般美麗，但現(xiàn)在我失去了它，我 再也見不到它了。雖然失去了伊甸園，可是我找到了他，便已心滿意足。 他盡其所能地愛著我，我也用我熱情天性中全部的情感力量 來愛著他，我想，這正是因?yàn)槲业哪贻p和性別吧。那我為什么愛他呢？僅僅是因?yàn)樗哪凶託飧虐?，我想。說到底他是個(gè)好人，我愛他就是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)，可即使他不 好我也會愛他。就算他打我罵我，我也會依然愛他。我知道 我會的。我想這僅僅是因?yàn)樾詣e吧。他強(qiáng)壯英俊，我愛他就是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)，我仰慕他，為他感 到驕傲，但是如果他沒有這些品質(zhì)，我還是會愛他。如果他 其貌不揚(yáng)，我會愛他；如果他身體羸弱，我也會愛他。我會 為他操勞，為他做牛做馬，為他祈禱，在床邊看護(hù)

14、他，直到 我死去。是的，我想我愛他只因?yàn)樗俏业模?還有他的男子氣概。我覺得沒有其他的原因了，所以我想這就像我一開始說的： 這種愛不是推理和數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)的產(chǎn)物。它就那么來了，沒有人 知道是什么原因，它無從解釋，也不需要解釋。It is my prayer ， it is my longing ， that we may pass from this life together a longing which shall never perish from the earth， but shall have place in the heart of every wife that loves ，u

15、ntil the end of time ； and it shall be called by my name.But if one of us must go first ， it is my prayer that it shall be I； for he is strong ， I am weak， I am not so necessary tohim as he is to me life without him would not be life ； how could I endure it？ This prayer is also immortal ， and will not cease from being offered up while my race continues. I am the first wife ； and in
