1. Do you know the book Anne from Green Gables
Anne of Green Gables is a classic novel by a Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery.
《绿山墙的安妮》
Cultural note
《绿山墙的安妮》是加拿大女作家露西·莫德·蒙哥马利创作的长篇小说,创作于1904—1906年,1908年首次出版。
小说讲述了绿山墙农舍的一对兄妹马修和玛莉拉决定领养一个男孩,帮着干田里的农活。令人大吃一惊的是,孤儿院送来了一个爱幻想、喋喋不休的红发女孩。这个红发小精灵般的女孩叫安妮,天性活泼乐观,想象力极为丰富。她的天真和幻想使她闹了不少笑话,但她的善良和直率也使她赢得了友谊和真挚的爱。她爱生活、爱自然、爱周围的每一个人。她聪明而勤奋,凭着自己的努力考取了大学,但为了照顾玛莉拉,她放弃了学业。 该小说成功地刻画了孤儿安妮·雪莉的感人形象。作品对儿童、少女形象的刻画尤见功底。同时,作者对爱德华太子岛自然美景的诗意描写、对乡村淳朴生活的刻画,以及优美而充满幽默的文笔,也是作品的魅力所在。
该小说出版后,引起轰动,很快被译成30多种文字在世界各地出版,随后根据这部小说拍摄的电影、电视剧也一度风靡了整个西方国家,“红头发安妮”也因此成为深受人们喜爱的少女形象。
