The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling.

评分她生活的环境好象眼下的娱乐圈,她努力想保持纯洁清白,可又想轻易获得财富,最终还是被卷进恶毒的流言。 《书摘》上的小说简介写得真是好,好到我在大学图书馆里找到这本破旧的小说,翻阅时竟然觉得跟简介写得一模一样(也许本末倒置?)。 我记得她在名画表演上举起双臂,顿...
评分读完了,译笔流畅,心理细腻,不错的风俗小说。是世俗的力量打败了爱情吗?诚如鲁迅先生所说,在这困顿中,可以看透很多事情。 “她看不起自己所追求的东西。”这样的人越来越少了。也许,我们会发现自己还没有那么堕落吧?我们有弱点,但是我们也有不能放下的自尊。 从小说的...
评分In Chapter 13, when Lily met Nettie Struther, the woman she'd helped by her charity work, she was told that Nettie's baby girl was named "Marry Anto'nette" (Marie Antoinette) because she sees the resemblance between Miss Bart and the French queen's beauty. ...
