By the 1830s,DiCkens had estabIished a career as a journalist,and his pieces on evenryday people caught attention of a publisher,who ColIected them as Sketches by‘Boz’,followed by The Pickwick(Papers(both 1836—7).Dickens’novels first appeared in monthly InsfaImenfs before being pubIished ln book form,and he was a proIific worker,churning Out CIassics year after year。They IncIuded Oliver Twisf(1837—9),Nichoas Nickleby(1838—9),The old Curiosity Shop(1840-1)’A Christmas Carol(1843),David Copperfeld(1849—50)and Greaf Expectations(1860—1),alI of them massiveIy popular in their day and Still qreatly admired in the 21st century.

评分我有黄雨石版的《雾都孤儿》和荣如德版的《雾都孤儿》。按理说,黄雨石是翻译英语文学的专家级人物,那本《暗店街》不知是从法文直接翻译的还是从英文转译的,那句开头“我的过去,一片朦胧”就比李玉民翻译的“我飘飘何所适,不过幽幽一身影”不知道高明多少倍,而其翻译的康...
