15本世界名著的結束語，告訴你什麼是經典

為什麼要讀書？

一張圖就能看懂

有份調查問卷顯示，近80%的學生，閱讀傾向都選擇了暢銷書。讀暢銷書沒有錯，但總覺得少了點什麼。

以前老師經常說，要讀經典，讀經典。

日本作家芥川龍之介曾經在《河童》中寫道：

必要的思想或許早在三千年前就已窮盡，我們現在只是給舊柴添把新火罷了。

今天英大給大家整理了15部世界經典名著的結束語，讀完你會終身難忘。

《瓦爾登湖》（梭羅）

使我們視而不見的光亮，對於我們就是黑暗。當我們清醒時，曙光才會破曉。來日方長，太陽只是顆啟明星。

原文：The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

《了不起的蓋茨比》（菲茨傑拉德）

於是我們繼續奮力向前，逆水行舟，被不斷地向後推移，直至回到往昔歲月。

原文：So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly intothe past.

《生命中不可承受之輕》（米蘭・昆德拉）

托馬斯打開房間的門，按亮了吊燈。特蕾莎看見兩張床對放著，一張床邊有一個帶燈的床頭櫃。一隻巨大的蝴蝶被光線一驚，飛離燈罩，在房間里盤旋。下面，傳來鋼琴和小提琴微弱的聲音。

原文：Tomas turned the key and switched on the ceiling light. Tereza saw two beds pushed together, one of them flanked by a bedside table and lamp. Up out of the lampshade, startled by the overhead light, flew a large nocturnal butterfly that began circling the room. The strains of the piano and violin rose up weakly from below.

《海邊的卡夫卡》（村上村樹）

最終，你墜入沉眠。當你再度醒來，一切都未曾改變。你已融入新的世界。

原文：You finally fall asleep. And when you wake up, it's true. You are part of a brand-new world.

《小王子》（聖埃克・蘇佩里）

如果有個小人出現在你面前，如果他笑著、有一頭金色的頭髮、拒絕回答任何問題，你就會知道他是誰了。如果發生了這一切，請及時告訴我，好讓我得到安慰。請給我捎個話，就說他已經回來了。

原文：If a little man appears who laughs, who has golden hair and who refuses to answer questions, you will know who he is. If this should happen, please comfort me. Send me word that he has come back.

《一個陌生女人的來信》（茨威格）

他感覺到一次死亡，感覺到不朽的愛情。一時間他的心裡百感交集，他思念起那個看不見的女人，沒有實體，充滿激情，猶如遠方的音樂。

原文：An intimation of death came to him, and an intimation of deathless love. Something welled up within him; and the thought of the dead woman stirred in his mind, bodiless and passionate, like the sound of distant music.

《基督山伯爵》（大仲馬）

伯爵剛才不是告訴我們了嗎？人類的全部智慧就包含在這五個字裡面：等待和希望。

原文：Has not the count just told us that all human wisdom is summed up in two words?--'Wait and hope.'

《荊棘鳥》（考琳・麥卡洛）

但是，把荊棘刺入胸膛的那一刻，我們是知道的，明明白白。然而，我們依然要這麼做，把荊棘刺入胸膛，徹徹底底。

原文：But we, when we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still we do it.

《野棕櫚》（福克納）

她不在了，一半的記憶也已不存在；如果我不在了，那麼所有的記憶也將不在了。是的，他想：在悲傷與虛無之間我選擇悲傷。

原文：She was gone,and I lost about half memory of her.If one day I was gone,all the memory of her would gone with me. Yes, he think: if I have to choose one from sorrow and nothing, I will choose sorrow.

《悲慘世界》（雨果）

不過，已經有年頭了，有人用石墨筆寫下這四行詩，字跡在雨水和塵土下逐漸漫湮了，或許今日已然消失：他安息。儘管他的命運很離奇，他要活。他死去，只因失去天使；事情自然發生，再也簡單不過，就像白天過去，夜幕便要降落。

原文：Only, many years ago, a hand wrote upon it in pencil these four lines, which have become gradually illegible beneath the rain and the dust, and which are, to-day, probably effaced:

《雙城記》（查爾斯・狄更斯）

我今日所做的事遠比我往日的所作所為更好，更好；我今日將享受的安息遠比我所知的一切更好，更好。

原文：It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done. It is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

《飄》（瑪格麗特・米切爾）

畢竟，明天又是另外的一天呢。

原文：After all, tomorrow is another day.

《老人與海》（海明威）

在大路另一頭老人的窩棚里，他又睡著了。他依舊臉朝下躺著，孩子坐在他身邊，守著他。老人正夢見獅子。

原文：Up the road, in his shack, the old man was sleeping again. He was still sleeping on his face and the boy was sitting by him watching him. The old man was dreaming about the lions.

《麥田裡的守望者》（塞林格）

我只知道我很想念我所談到的每一個人。甚至老斯特拉德萊塔和阿克萊，比方說。我覺得我甚至也想念那個混帳毛里斯哩。說來好笑。你千萬別跟任何人談任何事情。

你只要一談起，就會想念起每一個人來。

原文：About all I know is, I sort of miss everybody I told about. Even old Stradlater and Ackley, for instance. I think I even miss that goddam Maurice. It's funny.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

《堂吉訶德》（塞萬提斯）

再見。

原文：Farewell.

如今，

依靠話題炒作的暢銷書和網路爆文，讓文學森林日漸荒蕪。

為了吸引讀者眼球，有些作品已經失去了該有的情懷和底線。

然而，

寫作和閱讀是最不能趕時髦的。
