服了 Jean Austen
终于把 Jean Austen 出版的第一部小说 Sense and Sensibility 看完了。可不想对小说本身或 Jean Austen 作任何的分析评论，我只是个普通的读者，不过是借着经典读物来慰藉“悠长假期”。只是不得不佩服 Jean Austen 文字功力。Sense and Sensibility 就是在那狭小的空间里细细描画，画出 Jean Austen 自己新的东西。阅读时如同含着一砖厚的巧克力，没有入口即融，倒是慢慢地在嘴里化开，绸缎般地柔滑和甜腻丝丝渗透到味蕾，不断地回味出巧克力味道的高潮。
摘录一下 Sense and Sensibility 中狭小的描写，细致地如同在眼前现场演绎：
They had not remained in this manner long, before Elinor perceived Willoughby, standing within a few yards of them, in earnest conversation with a very fashionable-looking young woman. She soon caught his eye, and he immediately bowed, but without attempting to speak to her, or to apporach Marianne, though he could not but see her; and then continued his discourse with the same lady. Elinor turned involuntarily to Marianne，to see whether it could be unobserved by her. At that moment she first perceived him, and her whole countenance blowing with sudden delight, she would have moved towards him instantly, had not her sister caught hold of her.

He could not then avoid it, but her touch seemed painful to him, and he held her hand only for a moment. During all this time he was evidently struggling for composure. --- pp.170
Before the house-maid had lit their fire the next day, or the sun gained any power over a cold, gloomy morning in Junuary, Marianne，only half dressed, was kneeling against one of the window-seats for the sake of all the little light she could command from it, and writing as fast as a continual flow of tears would permit her. In this situation, Elinor, roused from sleep by her agitation and sobs, first perceived her; and after observing her for a few moments with silent anxiety, said, in a tone of the most considerate gentleness —— ... ... --- pp. 171
不得不提一下BBC Classic Drama，总能把原著改编得入木三分，展现在屏幕，真让人迷信于 BBC products. 如果没有阅读前的BBC Drama 做奠基，以我有限的英语能力或许不能读完小说。
