那是一個(gè)春寒料峭的日子,中國宇航出版社的策劃編輯戰(zhàn)穎找到我,要我負(fù)責(zé)主編一套世界經(jīng)典名著的導(dǎo)讀和注釋叢書,想請(qǐng)我邀北外的一些老師加入到這一工作中來。我看了她給我的書單后,心中不由地一動(dòng),多么熟悉的書名啊,這些經(jīng)典名著的英文版和中文版是伴我度過大學(xué)時(shí)期的重要精神食糧之一。因?yàn)樵谖业拇髮W(xué)時(shí)代,校園里不像現(xiàn)在這樣充斥著浮躁的氣氛,而是一種寧靜的讀書氛圍,我們讀古詩詞、現(xiàn)代抒情詩、三毛的散文、席慕容的散文和詩歌、羅蘭的小品文等,而我們這些英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生當(dāng)然還要閱讀英文經(jīng)典名著,不是老師布置的作業(yè),而是主動(dòng)為之。時(shí)至今日,這些經(jīng)典中的主人公形象依然留在自己的腦海中,這些經(jīng)典中的故事情節(jié)依然讓人心潮澎湃。所以,我禁不住想答應(yīng)下來?墒,經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我,為英語讀物作注釋,尤其是為英文原版小說作注釋,看起來或聽起來是一件簡(jiǎn)單的事情,而真正做起來卻是耗時(shí)、費(fèi)力的工作,因?yàn)槲膶W(xué)著作的注釋不是簡(jiǎn)單的單詞注釋,還有很多地名、人名、歷史事件、文化典故等諸多百科全書式的東西要為讀者解釋出來。作長篇巨著的注釋更是很多人望而卻步的事情,所以對(duì)能否邀請(qǐng)到一些同事從事這一工作我有些不敢確定。雖然我本人愿意為經(jīng)典的傳播、為讀者的閱讀提供自己的一點(diǎn)見解和幫助,可個(gè)人的力量畢竟是有限的。因此,當(dāng)時(shí)我猶豫了,但對(duì)經(jīng)典名著的情結(jié)又讓我對(duì)這一工作難以割舍。于是,我跟戰(zhàn)穎編輯說,我先詢問一下看有多少人愿意去做這件事。

After behaving as badly as possible all day, she sometimes camefondling to make it up at night.
Nay, Cathy, the old man would say, I cannot love thee;thourt worse than thy brother. Go, say thy prayers, child, and askGods pardon. I doubt thy mother and I must rue~ that we ever rearedthee !That made her cry, at first; and then, being repulsed~ continual-ly hardened her, and she laughed if I told her to say she was sorry forher faults, and beg to be forgiven.
But the hour came, at last, that ended Mr Earnshaws troubles onearth. He died quietly in his chair one October evening, seated by thefire-side.
A high wind blustered~ round the house, and roared in the chim-ney: it sounded wild and stormy, yet it was not cold, and we were alltogether——I, a little removed from the hearth, busy at my knitting,and Joseph reading his Bible near the table (for the servants generallysat in the house then, after their work was done. ) Miss Cathy hadbeen sick, and that made her still; she leant against her fathers knee,and Heathcliff was lying on the floor with his head in her lap.
I remember the master, before he fell into a doze, stroking herbonny hair——it pleased him rarely to see her gentle——and saying——
