呼嘯山莊（簡體書）

《字裡行間英文經典：呼嘯山莊》為純英文版，《呼嘯山莊》是英國女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉?勃朗特的作品。小說描寫吉卜賽棄兒希斯克利夫被山莊老主人收養後，因受辱和戀愛不遂，外出致富，回來後對與其女友凱瑟琳結婚的地主林頓及其子女進行報復的故事。全篇充滿強烈的反壓迫、爭幸福的鬥爭精神，又始終籠罩著離奇、緊張的浪漫氣氛。它開始曾被人看作是年青女作家脫離現實的天真幻想，但結合其所描寫地區激烈的階級鬥爭和英國的社會現象，它不久便被評論界高度肯定，並受到讀者的熱烈歡迎。根據這部小說改編的影視作品至今久演不衰。

艾米莉．勃朗特（1818～1848）英國女作家。夏洛蒂．勃朗特之妹，安恩．勃朗特之姐。出生于貧苦的牧師之家。艾米莉性格內向，嫺靜文雅，從童年時代起就酷愛寫詩。1846年，她們三姐妹曾自費出過一本詩集。《呼嘯山莊》是她唯一的一部小說，發表于1847年12月。她們三姐妹的三部小說——夏洛蒂的《簡．愛》、艾米莉的《呼嘯山莊》和小妹妹安妮的《艾格尼斯．格雷》是同一年問世的。除《呼嘯山莊》外，艾米莉還創作了193首詩，被認為是英國一位天才的女作家。三人並稱勃朗特三姐妹。直到本世紀她才被公認為英國三大女詩人之一。

"Mrs.Heathcliff," I said earnestly,"you must excuse me for troubling you.I presume,because,with that face,I'm sure you cannot help being good-hearted.Do point out some landmarks by which I may know my way home: I have no more idea how to get there than you would have how to get to London!"
"Take the road you came," she answered,ensconcing herself in a chair,with a candle,and the long book open before her."It is brief advice,but as sound as I can give."
"Then,if you hear of me being discovered dead in a bog or a pit full of snow,your conscience won't whisper that it is partly your fault?"
"How so? I cannot escort you.They wouldn't let me go to the end of the garden wall."
"You!I should be sorry to ask you to cross the threshold,for my convenience,on such a night," I cried."I want you to tell me my way,not to show it; or else to persuade Mr.Heathcliff to give me a guide."
"Who? There is himself,Eamshaw,Zillah,Joseph and I.Which would you have?"
"Are there no boys at the farm?"
"No; those are all."
"Then,it follows that I am compelled to stay."
"That you may settle with your host.I have nothing to do with it."
"I hope it will be a lesson to you to make no more rash joumeys on these hills," cried Heathcliff's stem voice from the kitchen entrance."As to staying here,I don't keep accommodations for visitors: you must share a bed with Hareton or Joseph,if you do."
"I can sleep on a chair in this room," I replied.
"No,no! A stranger is a stranger,be he rich or poor:it will not suit me to permit any one the range of the place while I am off guard!" said the unmannerly wretch.
With this insult,my patience was at an end.I uttered an expression of disgust,and pushed past him into the yard,running against Eamshaw in my haste.It was so dark that I could not see the means of exit;and,as I wandered round,I heard another specimen of their civil behaviour amongst each other.At first the young man appeared about to befriend me.
