写作思路:要直接简化任务语言。在叙述中,我们要把直接叙述变成间接叙述,尽可能简化人物语言。这样,即使情节连贯,又使语句“简练”。
Black Beauty was the only book written by Anna Sewell, although its continued popularity among children, particularly girls, has justified that effort. Sewell was, remarkably, paid only twenty pounds for the book and it was published three months before her death, in 1877.
However, its immediate success gave her great pleasure and she died in the knowledge that the book had indeed encouraged people to treat animals less cruelly.
It is the autobiography of a horse, the black Beauty of the title, who narrates it. Through various owners who ask different tasks of Black Beauty, he grows and has numerous adventures.
He goes from being a riding and carriage horse through being a mistreated town cab horse to eventual happiness in a secure home.
Notably, the animal keeps strength and good temper throughout his suffering and the story was extremely influential as pro-animal propaganda but it is also an extremely exciting and moving childrens story.
译文:
《黑骏马》是安娜·苏厄尔(Anna Sewell)写的唯一一本书,尽管它在儿童,特别是女孩中的持续流行证明了这一努力的合理性。值得注意的是,苏厄尔只花了20英镑买了这本书,这本书在她1877年去世前三个月出版。
然而,这本书的迅速成功给了她极大的快乐,她知道这本书确实鼓励人们对待动物不那么残忍而死去。
这是一本自传的马,黑美人的标题,谁叙述它。通过不同的主人对黑美人提出不同的要求,他成长并经历了无数的冒险。
他从一个骑马和马车的人,到一个被虐待的城市出租车的人,最终在一个安全的家里获得幸福。
值得注意的是,这只动物在整个痛苦过程中都保持着力量和良好的脾气,这个故事作为支持动物的宣传非常有影响力,但它也是一个非常激动人心和感人的儿童故事。
