　　Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen that was first published in 1811.It was the first of Austen's novels to be published,under the pseudonym "A Lady." The novel has been adapted for film and television a number of times,most notably in Ang Lee's 1995 version.

　　Plot introduction

　　The story concerns two sisters,Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (Elinor representing "sense" and Marianne "sensibility").Along with their mother and younger sister Margaret,they are left impoverished after the death of their father,and the family is forced to move to a country cottage,offered to them by a generous relative.

　　Elinor forms an attachment to the gentle and courteous Edward Ferrars,unaware that he is already secretly engaged.After their move,Marianne meets Willoughby,a dashing young man who leads her into undisciplined behaviour,so that she ignores the attentions of the faithful (but older) Colonel Brandon.The contrast between the sisters' characters is eventually resolved as both find love and lasting happiness.

　　Publisher Comments:

　　A timeless tale of romantic manners and mores in which two vastly different sisters experience love and loss under the rigid view of British society.

　　The life and work of Jane Austen

　　Jane Austen was born at Steventon on December 16,1775,the youngest of seven children.She received her education—scanty enough,by modern standards—at home.Besides the usual elementary subjects,she learned French and some Italian,sang a little,and became an expert needle-woman.Her reading extended little beyond the literature of the eighteenth century,and within that period she seems to have cared most for the novels of Richardson and Miss Burney,and the poems of Cowper and Crabbe.Dr.Johnson,too,she admired,and later was delighted with both the poetry and prose of Scott.The first twenty-five years of her life she spent at Steventon; in 1801 she moved with her family to Bath,then a great center of fashion; after the death of her father in 1805,she lived with her mother and sister,first at Southampton and then at Chawton; finally she took lodgings at Winchester to be near a doctor,and there she died on July 18,1817,and was buried in the cathedral.Apart from a few visits to friends in London and elsewhere,and the vague report of a love affair with a gentleman who died suddenly,there is little else to chronicle in this quiet and uneventful life.

　　But quiet and uneventful though her life was,it yet supplied her with material for half a dozen novels as perfect of their kind as any in the language.While still a young girl she had experimented with various styles of writing,and when she completed "Pride and Prejudice" at the age of twenty-two,it was clear that she had found her appropriate form.This novel,which in many respects she never surpassed,was followed a year later by "Northanger Abbey," a satire on the "Gothic" romances then in vogue; and in 1809 she finished "Sense and Sensibility," begun a dozen years before.So far she had not succeeded in having any of her works printed; but in 1811 "Sense and Sensibility" appeared in London and won enough recognition to make easy the publication of the others.Success gave stimulus,and between 1811 and 1816,she completed "Mansfield Park," "Emma," and "Persuasion." The last of these and "Northanger Abbey" were published posthumously.

　　The most remarkable characteristic of Jane Austen as a novelist is her recognition of the limits of her knowledge of life and her determination never to go beyond these limits in her books.She describes her own class,in the part of the country with which she was acquainted; and both the types of character and the events are such as she knew from first-hand observation and experience.But to the portrayal of these she brought an extraordinary power of delicate and subtle delineation,a gift of lively dialogue,and a peculiar detachment.She abounds in humor,but it is always quiet and controlled; and though one feels that she sees through the affectations and petty hypocrisies of her circle,she seldom becomes openly satirical.The fineness of her workmanship,unexcelled in the English novel,makes possible the discrimination of characters who have outwardly little or nothing to distinguish them; and the analysis of the states of mind and feeling of ordinary people is done so faithfully and vividly as to compensate for the lack of passion and adventure.She herself speaks of the "little bit (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work," and,in contrast with the broad canvases of Fielding or Scott,her stories have the exquisiteness of a fine miniature.

He was not handsome,and his manners required intimacy to make them pleasing.

She felt the loss of Willoughby's character yet more heavily than she had felt the loss of his heart ...

Elinor was to be the comforter of others in her own distresses ...

"I am afraid," replied Elinor,"that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety."

" ...and yet there is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind,that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions."

They gave themselves up wholly to their sorrow,seeking increase of wretchedness in every reflection that could afford it,and resolved against ever admitting consolation in future.

It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;-- it is disposition alone.Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other,and seven days are more than enough for others.

"His own enjoyment,or his own ease,was,in every particular,his ruling principle."

问题5：《理智与情感》的简介

【内容简介】

《理智与情感》虽是简·奥斯汀的第一部小说,但写作技巧已经相当熟练.故事中的每一个情节,经作者的巧妙构思,表面的因果关系与隐藏在幕后的本质缘故均自然合理.女主人公根据表面现象产生合情合理的推测和判断,细心的读者虽然不时产生种种疑惑,但思绪会自然而然随着好的观察而发展,等着最后结果出现时,与表面现象截然不同,造成了出乎意料的喜剧效果.如果反过来重读一遍,会发现导致必然结果的因素早见于字里行间.

小说的情节围绕着两位女主人公的择偶活动展开,着力揭示出当时英国社会潮流中,以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的恶习,重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利的丑陋时尚.小说中的女主角均追求与男子思想感情的平等交流与勾能,要求社会地位上的平等权利,坚持独立观察、分析和选择男子的自由.在当时的英国,这几乎无异于反抗的呐喊.

如同书名里所体现的那样,故事集中表现了“理智”与“情感”的矛盾冲突.以玛丽安为代表的人物是理智不足而感情有余；以约翰·达什伍德夫妇为代表的人物是理智有余而感情不足；而以威洛比为代表的人物在感情上又是十分虚伪,表面上似乎很有情感,实际上却冷漠无情,自私透顶.作者在故事里对珍重感情的人报以赞扬,尽管对这些人在理智上的欠缺也不时加以讽刺,然而对缺少感情仅有理智或是在感情上虚伪的人,却表现出了鄙夷的态度.作者最终赞赏的是女主人公埃莉诺,因为她即重感情又有理智.这里表现了作者在这个问题上的理想,即是人不能没有感情,但感情应受理智的制约.

【作者简介】

简·奥斯汀（1775～1817）英国女小说家.生于乡村小镇斯蒂文顿,父亲是当地教区牧师.奥斯丁没有上过正规学校,在父母指导下阅读了大量文学作品.她20岁左右开始写作,共发表了6部长篇小说.1811年出版的《理智和情感》是她的处女作,随后又接连发表了《傲慢与偏见》（1813）、《曼斯菲尔德花园》（1814）和《爱玛》（1815）.《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》（1818）是在她去世后第二年发表的,并署上了作者真名.奥斯汀终身未婚,家道小康.由于居住在乡村小镇,接触到的是中小地主、牧师等人物以及他们恬静、舒适的生活环境,因此她的作品里没有重大的社会矛盾.她以女性特有的细致入微的观察力,真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地,尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情风波.她的作品格调轻松诙谐,富有喜剧性冲突,深受读者欢迎.从18世纪末到19世纪初,庸俗无聊的“感伤小说”和“哥特小说”充斥英国文坛,而奥斯丁的小说破旧立新,一反常规地展现了当时尚未受到资本主义工业革命冲击的英国乡村中产阶级的日常生活和田园风光,尽管反映的广度和深度有限,但对改变当时小说创作中的庸俗风气起了好的作用,在英国小说的发展史上有承上启下的意义.

【书摘】

“等天气晴下来,我恢复了体力之后,”玛丽安说,“我们每天一起散步,走得远远的.我们要走到丘陵边缘的农场,看看那些孩子们怎么样啦.我们要走到约翰爵士在巴顿十字口的新种植园,和修道院属地.我们还要常去小修道院遗址那里,探索一下它的地基,尽量找到我们听说的它一度达到的最大深度.我知道我们会快乐的.我知道我们会愉愉快地度过这个夏天.我的意思是说,我们决不能晚于六点钟起床,从那时起直到吃晚饭,我要把每时每刻都用在音乐和读书上.我已经订好了计划,下定决心好好学习一番.我们自己的书房我很熟悉,除了消遣之类的书籍找不到别的书.不过,巴顿庄园有许多书很值得一读.我还知道,从布兰登上校那里可以借到更新的书.我每天只要看六个小时书,一年工夫就能获得大量我现在觉得自己所缺少的知识.”

埃丽诺佩服妹妹订出一项如此宏伟的计划.不过,眼看着同一种热切的幻想,过去曾经使她陷入极度懒散和任性埋怨,现在又给她的一项如此合乎情理、富于自我克制的计划安排增添了过激色彩,她不由地笑了起来.可是,转而想起还没履行她对威洛比的诺言,她的微笑又变成了一声叹息.她担心,她把那些事情一告诉玛丽安,可能再次让她心神不安,至少会暂时断送她那忙碌而平静的美好前景.因此,她还是想把这不幸的时刻向后推迟,决心等妹妹身体完全康复,再定个时间告诉她.但是决心下定后,又违背了.

玛丽安在家里呆了两三天,天气一直不够好,像她这样的病号哪里敢出去.不过,最后终于出现了一个和煦宜人的早晨,玛丽安获准由埃丽诺搀着,在屋前的篱路上散散步,只要不觉得疲倦走多长时间都可以.

妹妹俩出发了,因为玛丽安自从生病以来一直没有活动过,身体还很虚弱,所以两人不得不慢慢行走.刚走过屋角,到达可以对屋后的大山一览无余的地方,玛丽安停下脚步,举目朝山上望去,然后平静地说道：

“那儿,就在那儿,”玛丽安用一只手指去,“就在那道高冈上——我摔倒了,而且第一次见到了威洛比.”

说到最后三个字,她的声音低沉下来,但随即又恢复了正常,接着说道：

“我高兴地发现,我见到这个地方一点也不感到痛苦.埃丽诺,我们还能谈论这件事吗?”她这话说得有点吞吞吐吐.“还是这样谈论是错误的?我希望,我现在可以谈啦,照理也该谈谈.”

埃丽诺亲切地要求她有话直说.

“至于懊悔,”玛丽安说,“就他而论,我早已懊悔过了.我不想跟你谈论我以往对他的看法,而只想谈谈现在的看法.现在,如果有一点我可以感到满意的话——如果我可以认为他并非总是在演戏,总是在欺骗我.然而最重要的是,如果我可以相信,他从来没有像我有时想象的那样缺德透顶,因为那个不幸姑娘的遭遇——”

她顿住了.埃丽诺一听这话加获至宝,欣喜地答道：

“你若是可以相信这一点,你以为你心里就会平静啦?”

“是的.这对我心情的平静有着双重影响.他与我有过那样的关系,怀疑他居心不良,这不仅是可怕的,而且使我自己显得成了什么人?像我这样的处境,只有极不体面、极不慎重地乱表钟情,才能使我遭受——”

“那么,”姐姐问道,“你想如何解释他的行为呢?”

“我认为——哦!我将十分高兴地认为,他只是变化无常——极其变化无常.”

埃丽诺没再多说.她心里在盘算：究竟马上把情况告诉她为好,还是等到她身体更壮实一些.两人默不作声,又慢慢走了几分钟.当我希望他暗暗回想起来不会比我更不愉快时,”玛丽安终于叹息地说,“我的希望并不过分.他回想起来会感到十分痛苦的.”

“你是不是拿你的行为与他的行为相比较?”

“不.我是拿我的行为与理应如何相比较,与你的行为相比较.”

“我们的处境并不相似.”
