前言

  伊迪丝·内斯比特(1858-1924),英国著名作家。她出生于伦敦,先后在法国、德国和英国接受教育。她的父亲是农业化学家,在她三岁的时候去世了。伊迪丝是一个充满想象力的儿童文学作家,一生共出版了四十多部儿童文学作品,其中大部分已经成为世界儿童文学中的经典之作。十七岁的时候,伊迪丝就开始在杂志上发表自己的作品。她二十一岁结婚,由于丈夫生意破产且长期生病,所以经济拮据的伊迪丝一家一直靠她的写作为生。以至于在她的暮年时期,还要靠英国政府发给的养老金度日。伊迪丝的儿童文学主要分为两类:一类是小说,代表作有《寻宝六人组合》、《闯祸的快乐少年》、《想做好孩子》和《铁路边的孩子们》等,主要描写现实家庭的冒险故事,这类作品对儿童性格刻画鲜明,对家庭生活描写真切动人;另一类是童话故事,代表作有《五个孩子和一个怪物》、《魔堡》等,这些故事悬念重重、曲折离奇、想象力丰富,给孩子以身临其境、真实可信的感觉。伊迪丝还写了许多成人文学作品,但使她享誉世界的还是儿童文学作品。在伊迪丝的众多经典儿童文学作品中,《铁路边的孩子们》是其中的典型代表,它是世界儿童文学的瑰宝。该书出版一百多年来被译成几十种文字,受到全世界各国人民的喜爱。根据这部小说拍成的电影也同样在世界范围内广受欢迎。在中国,《铁路边的孩子们》同样是最受广大青少年读者欢迎的经典童话作品之一。目前,在国内数量众多的《铁路边的孩子们》书籍中,主要的出版形式有两种:一种是中文翻译版,另一种是中英文对照版。而其中的中英文对照读本比较受读者的欢迎,这主要是得益于中国人热衷于学习英文的大环境。从英文学习的角度来看,直接使用纯英文的学习资料更有利于英语学习。考虑到对英文内容背景的了解有助于英文阅读,使用中文导读应该是一种比较好的方式,也可以说是该类型书的第三种版本形式。

内容概要

The Railway Children,中文译名为《铁路边的孩子们》,它是由英国著名作家伊迪丝·内斯比特编著。这是一部讲述关于美好心灵和逆境成长的感人故事。一家人遭到变故,父亲蒙冤被捕,三个孩子随母亲从城市搬到铁路附近的乡下居住。孩子们理解母亲养育他们的艰辛和因父亲不在身边所饱受的心理痛苦,因而尽力安慰和帮助母亲。同时他们又热心关心和帮助别人。正因为这样,才引发了一系列的传奇故事:他们机智地避免了一场可怕的铁路事故,收留了一位流亡的作家,扑灭了运河驳船上的火险,还救助了一位在隧道中摔伤的少年……他们高尚的行为赢得了人们的尊重,最后在好心人的帮助下为父亲洗清了冤屈。该书出版一百年来,被译成世界上几十种文字,曾经先后多次被改编成戏剧、电影、电视和卡通片等。书中所展现的传奇故事伴随了一代又一代人的美丽童年、少年直至成年。无论作为语言学习的课本,还是作为通俗的文学读本,全文引进该书对当代中国的青少年都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解英文故事概况,进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平,在每章的开始部分增加了中文导读。

章节摘录

  第一章 故事的开始  Chapter 1 The Beginning of Things    在一个现代设备一应俱全的红房子家庭里住着三个孩子:老大罗伯塔,大家叫她波比,老二彼得,最小的是菲利斯。  他们的妈妈不喜欢串门,整天在家中,喜欢给他们辅导功课、写故事讲给他们听。  孩子们拥有他们需要的一切。爸爸为人公道,从不发脾气;保姆和蔼可亲;家中还有一条叫詹姆斯的狗。然而,他们的幸福生活却发生了变化。  那是彼得刚过完十岁生日的一天,他的生日礼物——玩具火车头突然爆炸了,吓得詹姆斯逃出家去,一整天没敢回来。  大家看到彼得的眼睛红了,彼得说自己没哭,是因为感冒引起的。妈妈让厨师做了个鸽肉馅饼,他只吃了一点点,感冒就好多了。  妈妈作了一首诗逗彼得开心。诗中写到了他心爱的火车头不小心爆炸了,然后他生病了,是一块鸽肉馅饼治好了他的病。并写到如果再让他吃馅饼,他一定还要。  彼得的爸爸三四天后回来了,他的手很巧,原来的木马坏了,木匠都认为修不好了,可他照样把它修好了。  等到爸爸吃完饭后,妈妈提到了火车头的事,彼得讲述了那次事故并拿出了火车头剩余的部件。爸爸看后,告诉他能修好,但要等到星期六。 They were not railway children to begin with. I don’t suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook’s, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud’s. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and ‘every modern convenience’, as the house-agents say.  There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother had had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.  Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll’s house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.  These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was not ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn’t help himself.  You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.  The dreadful change came quite suddenly.  Peter had a birthday—his tenth. Among his other presents was a model engine more perfect than you could ever have dreamed of. The other presents were full of charm, but the Engine was fuller of charm than any of the others were.
