奥斯汀终身未婚,家道小康。由于居住在乡村小镇,接触到的是中小地主、牧师等人 简·奥斯汀
物以及他们恬静、舒适的生活环境,因此她的作品里没有重大的社会矛盾。她以女性特有的细致入微的观察力,真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地,尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情风波。她的作品格调轻松诙谐,富有喜剧性冲突,深受读者欢迎。从18世纪末到19世纪初,庸俗无聊的“感伤小说”和“哥特小说”充斥英国文坛,而奥斯汀的小说破旧立新,一反常规地展现了当时尚未受到资本主义工业革命冲击的英国乡村中产阶级的日常生活和田园风光。她的作品往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯汀的小说出现在19世纪初叶,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备。虽然其作品反映的广度和深度有限,但她的作品如“两寸牙雕”,从一个小窗口中窥视到整个社会形态和人情世故,对改变当时小说创作中的庸俗风气起了好的作用,在英国小说的发展史上有承上启下的意义,被誉为地位“可与莎士比亚平起平坐”的作家。[1]

尽管奥斯汀家的几个儿子都有专业画像留存,卡桑德拉的水彩画(被她亲爱的小侄女安娜评价为:“和真人天差地远”)是简·奥斯汀目前已知唯一的“画像”。一八六九年,有人制作了改良版的小型复制品。一八七零年,钢印版被用在詹姆斯·爱德华·奥斯汀-利的《简·奥斯汀传》一书中。

中文名称:奥斯汀书会/我们都是奥斯汀迷 电影《成为简·奥斯汀》两位主角
英文名称:The Jane Austen Book Club 发行时间:2007年 语 言:英语 类 别:爱情 / 剧情 导 演:罗宾·史威考德 Robin Swicord
剧情简介
有些事情即使经历了两个世纪的变更,也是永远都不会发生改变的……我们仍然全神贯注于婚姻、友情和爱情的纠缠、事业、社交礼貌的复杂环境中,直到精疲力竭仍然乐此不疲。也许你觉得简·奥斯汀在任何一本小说中创造的故事情节都不可能与现代生活有所交集,然而这里却有六个人找到了两者之间的相似之处,他们组成了“奥斯汀书会”,通过讨论奥斯汀那绝妙的描述,在自己的生活轨道中重新找回了回应、预言、警告和智慧。 伯纳黛特是“奥斯汀书会”的发起人,而她的生活本身就是自相矛盾的,否则这个令人温暖、有智慧、现实且无拘无束的人,怎么会结过六次婚?现在,她已经50多岁了,却仍然是单身。大多时候,伯纳黛特都是那种最棒的朋友人选,因为她会静静聆听你的不幸,然后成为你最坚实的后盾。相对于城市中喧闹的生活,你总能从伯纳黛特身上找到平静……将朋友们召集到一起组成“永远的奥斯汀”读书俱乐部,就是伯纳黛特的主意,因为再没有作家比简·奥斯汀更会治疗这个世界对人们的折磨了。 与伯纳黛特甘愿在婚姻上冒险完全相反,她的朋友乔斯琳似乎天生与“浪漫”这两个字无缘,她甚至宣称自己从未恋爱过--即使有,也是和她的那只罗得西亚脊背犬普赖迪。它是她最忠诚的伴侣,血统高贵,所以不难想象,当普赖迪死后,乔斯琳是如何沉浸在悲伤之中不能自拔的……朋友们一致认为应该找点什么事情让乔斯琳分分神,好从痛失爱犬的不幸中尽快走出来,但乔斯琳可没有他们想象得那般脆弱。
幕后制作
小说与现实生活,影片就好像是简·奥斯汀六本小说中讲述的故事在21世纪的现代版 电影《成为简·奥斯汀》
本,书友会里的六名成员也经历过爱情的渴望和绝望,都曾因为友谊得到过安慰和误解。作为一个复杂社会的社交动物,他们无一例外都需要面对无数个使生活变得愈加复杂的难题。书友会里的成员每个月都需要阅读一本奥斯汀的小说,然后从中寻找和自己的生活相似的元素进行比较……正在离婚的西尔维娅无疑是《曼斯菲尔德庄园》在现实生活中的真实写照,这部小说里充满了人与人之间的分裂、对爱情的失望、婚姻的缺陷以及通奸,西尔维娅在讨论的时候甚至会因为乔斯琳的一句话而嚎啕大哭。虽然乔斯琳有点不屑做这种无意义的读书行为,但她也能从简·奥斯汀的小说中找到自己的参照物:那就是《艾玛》中的女主角,一个可爱、富有、活泼的女性,喜欢不厌其烦地管闲事、做媒婆,她自认为能够洞悉身边每一个人的需求,可爱情降临到她的身上时,却又变得愚蠢且盲目……乔斯琳任性、固执地忽视格瑞格对她的爱意,然后将他推给西尔维娅。不过西尔维娅显然为这次离婚伤透了心,没有注意到这些小细节。在小说《诺桑觉寺》中,女主角就是因为太过迷恋那种哥特式的传奇故事而变得有点神经兮兮,有趣的事,格瑞格在郊外的村屋就是以万圣节的风格进行装饰的。在谈及《傲慢与偏见》的时候,里面就增添了许多反讽的调调,因为这部简·奥斯汀作品中最浪漫的故事,竟然在书友会的讨论中得到了最多的悲叹和忧虑……至于乔斯琳与格瑞格之间的斗嘴,真的像达西和伊丽莎白·贝内特那般恶毒,而父亲和母亲的离婚使孩子遭受到的痛苦,也与小说中提及的一模一样。《理智与情感》中,错位的婚约打破了两个穷困的姐妹对爱情所有美好的期望,这部小说为书友会的成员提供了一个故事背景,可以将他们之间存在的所有不和谐观点和态度全部说出来……《爱情游戏》是书友会讨论的最后一部小说,最终溶解了许多发生在六位成员身上的故事:这里有一对多年前在痛苦中分手的恋人,他们在互相伤害中重新找到了解决办法和曾经的爱情,在经历了那么多的踌躇和误解之后,终于迎来了“第二次机会”。普鲁迪和迪安之间发生的一切就可以套用到这部小说里,当然也包括西尔维娅和丹尼尔,同时它还鼓励了乔斯琳、格瑞格、阿莱格拉和伯纳黛特,帮助他们重新走上了生活的道路上。与书友会有关的每一对情侣在影片的结尾处都找到了满意的答案和幸福,这与简·奥斯汀一贯在小说中使用的美满主题再一次不谋而合。
编辑本段个人评价
影片的编导罗宾·史威考德是在好友--制片人约翰·卡利(John Calley)的建议下,才决定去读凯伦·裘伊·弗勒(Karen Joy Fowler)创作的小说《奥斯汀书会》的……恰逢史威考德正在为索尼公司的一个原创剧本伤脑筋,她打算在故事里为观众展示一个全部是简·奥斯汀的书迷的家庭,以及其中的家庭成员需要面对的各自的混乱和烦恼。
史威考德研究
史威考德说:“我花了很多年的时间去研究有关奥斯汀的一切,不仅仅是反复读 电影《成为简·奥斯汀》
小说那么简单,还得从其他作品下手,比如说信件或儿童读物,这种做法允许我可以从多个不同的学术角度去分析奥斯汀的私人生活,然后进入每一个可以想象得到的角落。我记得自己当时还和索尼公司的高层开玩笑呢,称自己可能成为好莱坞的第一人,拍了一部要鸣谢一大堆小说的喜剧。但是,当我读过《奥斯汀书会》后,我发现自己不再对原先的那一家子知识分子着迷了。小说中描述了一群比我还要普通的人--读者,他们看小说是为了寻求庇护和陪伴。现代人将奥斯汀的小说看成了一个避难所,在看书的过程中,可以暂时离开拥挤的交通、响个不停的电话、候诊室里喧闹的电视。而且我注意到,奥斯汀的六部小说,其中的四部在西雅图飞机场的报摊上都有得卖,因为晚点在候机室里等上几个小时,相信你会非常高兴地拿起奥斯汀的小说,感受一下差不多两个世纪前的英国乡村的清新味道。”
小说魅力
当你开始喜欢简·奥斯汀,她在小说中创造的那个世界就不会显得陈旧过时了。她的角色总是为了钱担心,还要与难纠的家人周旋,因为不善交际而有所退缩--他们将本应该用来谈恋爱的时间大多花在了这上面,最后就连最基本的期望也变得毫无价值了。罗宾·史威考德说:“简而言之,奥斯汀给出了许多和我们很像的人物角色,只除了我们不能通过交罚款而代替监禁,当然也不用每天工作12-14个小时。” 当罗宾·史威考德读完了凯伦·裘伊·弗勒的小说,她发现自己已经没办法按奈住自己的冲动了:“生活的快节奏和速食文化将我们变成了那种善于言辞的同时还要习惯性隐藏真正的自己的人,即使在家也没办法完全放松,因为对于我们中的很多人来说,家也成了一个工作场所。我们在网上聊天、收邮件、浏览网页、看在线小说,即使在吃饭的时候也不忘发短信给选秀节目投票,在信息时代如此发达的今天,我们却越来越少地探求彼此,这真的很荒谬。在这个利己主义盛行的时代里,我们也只能面对现实,我们都生活在自己的小圈子里,轻易不肯迈出来。但弗勒的小说却给出了完全不同的观点,因为她记录了这个物质化世界中的一次勇敢行为,这里有六个人,他们同意阅读简·奥斯汀的六本小说,然后每个月一次从城市的各个角落聚在一起进行讨论……体现出的是一种完全不同的英雄气概。”
编辑本段电影简评
《奥斯汀书会》证明了一件事,那就是完全照搬小说是一件多么愚蠢的选择。 简·奥斯汀
——《电影见解》。 俏皮的玩笑和优美精练的对白,足以让观众得到比阅读简·奥斯汀的小说更多的乐趣。——《洛杉矶时报》。 罗宾·史威考德创造了几个让你感到似曾相识的角色,但她至少赋予给书友会一种非常真实的感觉,关心的是会员的生活,而非小说本身。——《芝加哥太阳时报》。 一流的演员团队,无论是装可爱、令人讨厌、迟钝还是过度自怜,他们奉献出的都是最可爱的角色。——《综艺》。
编辑本段爱情经历
英国19世纪女作家简·奥斯汀的经典爱情著作相继被搬上银幕,而她本人唯一一段刻骨铭心恋情却鲜为人知。随着电影《成就简》3月开拍,这一空白将被弥补。奥斯汀用独特和细腻笔触创作出感人至深的爱情故事,自己却终身未婚。而《成就简》一片就将解开她的情路历程。这部影片以人物传记《成就简·奥斯汀》为蓝本,而传记作者斯彭斯也成为影片的历史顾问。
情窦初开
1796年,20岁的奥斯汀遇到勒弗罗伊。情窦初开的她对这个聪明狡黠的爱尔兰年轻律师一见钟情。然而,奥斯汀的牧师家庭希望未来女婿拥有经济实力,而偏偏那时的勒弗罗伊还是个穷小子。而拥有6个孩子的勒弗罗伊家也执意与富贵之家联姻,因此要求勒弗罗伊返回爱尔兰。从此两人便再没有相见。当年,奥斯汀在致姐姐卡桑德拉的信中表达了无奈伤心:“终于,这一天还是到来了,我将与汤姆·勒弗罗伊告别。而当你收到这封信时,一切都已结束。一想到这些,我不禁泪流。”后来,勒弗 电影《成为简·奥斯汀》
罗伊如家人所愿地娶了个大家闺秀,还成为爱尔兰最高法院首席法官。直至晚年,他才向侄子坦言,曾与一位作家有过一段“少年之爱”。
终身未嫁
初恋以被迫分手告终,奥斯汀选择终身不嫁,而将所有未了的情感注入文学创作 。“爱的小屋”身价飙升这段恋情没有让奥斯汀成为勒弗罗伊太太,却激励她成为英国历史上最受欢迎的女作家之一。“是他告诉她,她拥有才华。是他鼓励她在写作中追随自己的思想。尽管他俩没有在一起,但这段恋情却激发她成为职业作家。”雷说。另一方面,奥斯汀和勒弗罗伊第一次相遇的房子也行情看涨。这座名为“迪恩小屋”的房子坐落在汉普郡,充满浓郁的英式特点,典雅而舒适。悠久历史、建筑价值再加上凄美爱情故事,这座小屋已经被开出1000万英镑的高价。
编辑本段代表作品
《理智与情感》又名《理性与感性》(Sense and Sensibility, 1811) 电影《成为简·奥斯汀》
《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice, 1813) 《曼斯菲尔德庄园》(Mansfield Park, 1814) 《爱玛》(Emma, 1815) 《诺桑觉寺》(Northanger Abbey, 1818, 死后出版) 《劝导》(Persuasion, 1818, 死后出版) [/color][/b] 简·奥斯丁(jane austen 1775--1817)是一个我国读者非常熟悉的名字。她的小说《傲慢与偏见》以及据此拍摄的电影恐怕早已为大家所熟悉了。据英国广播公司最近调查统计,《傲慢与偏见》在英国人最喜爱的小说中,名列第二。《爱玛》(EMMA)是这位女作家的第四部作品,一般都认为是她最为成熟的一部作品。
编辑本段写作经历
简·奥斯丁出生在英国汉普郡斯蒂文顿镇的一个牧师家庭,过着祥和、小康的乡居生活。兄弟姐妹共八人,奥斯丁排行第六。她从未进过正规学校,只是九岁时,曾被送往姐姐的学校伴读。她的姐姐卡桑德拉是她毕生最好的朋友,然而奥斯丁的启蒙教育却更多得之于她的父亲。奥斯丁酷爱读书写作,还在十一、二岁的时候,便已开始以写作为乐事了。成年后奥斯丁随全家迁居多次。1817年,奥斯丁已抱病在身,为了求医方便,最后一次举家再迁。然而在到了曼彻斯特后不过两个多月,她便去世了。死后安葬在温彻斯特大教堂。简·奥斯丁终身未嫁。逝世时仅为四十一岁。 [2]
创作过程
奥斯丁创作的小说,几乎都经过长时间的反复修订改写。她出版的第一部小说是《理智与情感(1811)。《傲慢与偏见》(1813)是她的第二部作品。这两部作品,加上她去世后出版的《诺桑觉寺》(1818),都写于十八世纪的九十年代,通常算是她的早期作品。而《曼斯菲尔德庄园》(1814)、《爱玛》(1816)与《劝导》(1818)则写于十九世纪,算是后期作品。这六部作品,总共不过一百五十万字(中文),数量不算多。作品初出版时,销量也不算很大。
文学地位
可是她在英国文学中的地位却随时间的过去而日益显得重要,以致竟有批评家认为: 简·奥斯汀作品《爱玛》封面
“作家当中其手法最接近于(莎士比亚)这位大师的,无疑就要数简·奥斯丁了,这位女性堪称是英国之骄傲。她为我们创造出了一大批的人物……”(托·巴·麦考莱语)。另一位将她与莎士比亚相比的是现代美国的批评家艾德蒙·威尔逊。他说:“一百多年来,英国曾发生过几次趣味上的革命。文学口味的翻新影响了几乎所有作家的声望,唯独莎士比亚与简·奥斯丁是经久不衰。”赞赏奥斯丁的作家,从瓦尔特·司各特开始,可以说是绵延不绝,粗略一排就有:特洛罗普、乔治·艾略特、柯勒律奇、勃朗宁夫人、骚塞、爱·摩·福斯特等位。但是她的杰出与伟大之处究竟表现在哪些方面,也不是一下子说得清楚的。弗吉尼亚·吴尔芙就曾说过:“在所有的伟大的作家中,她的伟大之处是最最难以捕捉到的。”
小说特点
根据《简明不列颠网络全书》的说法,简·奥斯丁是“第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡人物的小说家。(她的作品)反映了当时英国中产阶级生活的喜剧,显示了‘家庭’文学的可能性。她多次探索青年女主角从恋爱到结婚中自我发现的过程。这种着力分析人物性格以及女主角和社会之间紧张关系的做法,使她的小说摆脱十八世纪的传统而接近于现代的生活。正是这种现代性,加上她的机智和风趣,她的现实主义和同情心,她的优雅的散文和巧妙的故事结构,使她的小说能长期吸引读者。”并且说:“当时(指十九世纪初)流行夸张戏剧性的浪漫小说,已使人们所厌倦,奥斯丁的朴素的现实主义启清新之风,受到读者的欢迎……到二十世纪,人们才认识到她是英国摄政王时期(1810--1820)最敏锐的观察者,她严肃地分析了当时社会的性质和文化的质量,记录了旧社会向现代社会的转变。现代评论家也赞佩奥斯丁小说的高超的组织结构,以及她能于平凡而狭窄有限的情节中揭示生活的悲喜剧的精湛技巧。” 本文作者在阅读了中外评论家对奥斯丁的分析评论之后,觉得还是以上所引的 简·奥斯汀作品《理智与情感》封面
简短结论最为准确精到。内中惟一未突出提到的是奥斯丁塑造人物的巨大才能(每部小说的主角都是青年女性,但她们无一雷同),以及她能站在更高角度,冷眼看待、评论这些人物(特别是她心爱的人物)的睿智目光。奥斯丁曾说过什么是好的作品。她说:“……有些作品,其中展示了才智最强大的力量;其中作者以最精心选择的语言向世人传达了对人性最透彻的了解、对这种丰富多彩的人性恰到好处的描绘,以及对机智幽默最生动活泼的抒发。”(见《诺桑觉寺》第五章末段)奥斯丁的几部作品,可以毫无愧惭地说,都是达到了这样的标准的。
语言特色
奥斯丁的语言确实出色,这在提高她作品的水准上起着很大的作用。她的对话不但符合人物性格,而且常含机锋。(奥斯丁小时候曾和家人演戏自娱,写好对白自是她的特长。)叙述描写部分语言通常徐缓舒展,与她所写的那个历史时期的社会环境与人物身份非常配称。 作者偶尔亦用曲笔,不动声色地说几句谑而不虐的反话,使读懂的读者不禁要发出会心的微笑。(批评家瓦尔特·艾伦就说过,整部《爱玛》,“就是在嘲弄中孕育成的。”)在结构上,《爱玛》亦极匀称紧密。除了书中高潮处外,每一章亦都有精彩的“看点”。 这就使得翻译者苦苦奋斗工作时,又自有乐趣,仿佛是“从山阴道上行,山川自相映发,使人应接不暇。”相信读者在读她的书时,也会有这样的体会的。有批评家说过:“在《爱玛》中,整个主题就是女主人公痛苦的认识自身并逐渐抛开幻想的过程。”
作品中人物性格
同样,在译者译,读者读的过程中,大家都逐渐认识了爱玛这一活生生,有着各种优点与缺点的形象,同时也通过这面镜子的反照,能对自我有比以前较深一些的认识。说到底,阅读文学作品最大的益处无非就是通过这一活动,帮助自己更深刻地了解自我、他人,认识社会与这个世界。爱玛的自信、自以为是、缺乏自知之明、好心做坏事、不愿承认错误,还多少有点势利眼,这样的性格上的毛病,岂不是在我们自己与周围人的身上,依旧存在的吗?而且还不但存在于作为个体的人的身上,连集体的人——小至一个团体大到一个国家那里,不也是同样是会存在。《爱玛》是奥斯丁于1814年1月开始动笔的,1815年3月底写完,并于年底出版(初版本扉页上标明的是1816年)。1816年3月出版的《每季评论》上即刊出了当时最负盛名的小说家瓦尔特·司各特激赏奥斯丁作品特别是《爱玛》的长文。1817年的7月18日,奥斯丁溘然去世。《爱玛》成了她生前最后一部与读者见面的小说。但读者并不知道作者是谁。直到1818年,她的作品才由她的哥哥署上真名出版。
奥斯丁与摄政王
奥斯丁在世时,英国由摄政王统治。他的父亲乔治三世晚年精神失常,国会安排由他摄政。1820年老王去世,摄政王即位,是为乔治四世。据说他非常喜欢奥斯丁的作品,在每个住 简·奥斯汀作品
处都存有一套。他还写过一封信给奥斯丁,表示了自己的钦佩并希望她能把下一部作品献给自己。奥斯丁在一封信里说:“对亲王的感谢,我感到荣幸。”同时也多少有点违心地写了《爱玛》书前的那篇献词。据记载,摄政王藏书室的负责人曾建议奥斯丁写题材大一些的作品。 奥斯丁在回信中说:“我不写传奇。我必须保持自己的风格,继续走自己的路,虽然在这条路上我可能永不会再获成功。我却相信在别的路上我将彻底失败。”奥斯丁向亲属表示过,她自己能做的只是“写乡野的几户人家”,“在一小块(两英寸宽的)象牙上……用一支细细的画笔轻描慢绘。”今天,人们自然要庆幸亏得奥斯丁没有采纳那样的建议。而且她也不纯粹是“为小题材而小题材”。她也能做到小中见大。她在作品中关怀妇女、恋爱、婚姻问题,探讨社会在这些方面的谬误与偏见并从而揭示人性中的一些弱点。探讨人性,这难道能说是在写微不足道的小题材吗?古代的希腊人认为最重要的问题莫若是“认识自我”。他们在德尔菲神庙上铭刻的就是这几个字。
『贰』 《理智与情感》和《傲慢与偏见》对比着写一篇英语影评
在观看过《傲慢与偏见》和《理智与情感》两部电影之后,我强烈的感觉到这两个故事 十分的相似,讲述的都是姐妹花的婚嫁问题,又都是发生在清一色女孩家庭的故事,她们非 贫非富,被上流社会顶层的有钱人看不起,处在上流社会的尴尬境地,又通过某种场合认识 了比自己地位高的富家子弟, 男女主人公之间总有热心的人为其搭桥牵线, 几番波折之后最 终得到了美满婚姻的爱情喜剧。 18世纪末19世纪初的英国女性不论在经济、 社会还是家庭地位上都依附于男性, 社会等 级制度森严,婚姻讲究门当户对,重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利丑陋时尚。当时的婚姻 不仅仅是作为爱 情的归宿,还会是“谋生”的手段。不论是伊丽莎白还是埃丽诺她们都出自 家中没有男子来继承父辈遗产的中产阶级家庭, 而她们想要获得一种体面的生活和地位, 唯 一的途径就是嫁给一个有钱的男人。 像伊丽莎白或是埃莉诺这样的家庭的女孩子遇到一个不 错的金龟婿是非常不容易的,然而奥斯汀两部作品的主人公在遇见“金龟婿”时候的态度却 是不同的。 《理智与情感》是简·奥斯汀的第一部作品,这也是她十八九岁时候完成的著作, 故事的女主人公埃莉诺在遇到爱德华得时候表现出的是冷静, 含蓄, 且他的家人也并未因为 爱德华的社会地位而去巴结他, 爱德华深受埃莉诺一家人的喜欢纯粹是因为他的善良和彬彬 有礼。但是在《傲慢与偏见》中,伊丽莎白一家人对宾利先生和达西先生的感情看起来就不 那么单纯了, 尤其是伊丽莎白的母亲班纳特太太对宾利和达西的大献殷勤, 就显得她们十分 的功利。 两部作品虽极为相似, 但这样细微的对人物刻画的差别也许是作者人生阅历的增加 使得她笔下的人物也变得复杂起来。 从人物性格来说,两个故事中的长女埃莉诺和简都是是温柔贤淑,含蓄,沉着冷静的女 孩子。 当埃莉诺从露西小姐口中得知爱德华与露西早已订婚时她并未表现出她的难过, 虽然 十分伤心,但她却能够理智地克制自己,没有做出冲动和愚蠢的行为,而是一直隐忍在心, 直到安慰因失恋而伤透心的妹妹玛丽安时才说出了真相。 对于简来说, 宾利先生的不告而别 对她和她的家人就像是晴天霹雳,但是为了家庭的颜面,简只能把伤心抛在脑后,一个人逃 去伦敦的亲戚家中躲避邻里的闲言碎语。 作为家中的长女, 她们在面对感情的时都为了家人 的幸福和荣誉作出了让步。但是她们的妹妹就没有那么理智。在柯林斯对伊丽莎白表白时, 她不计后果的直截了当的拒
绝了柯林斯的求婚。 玛丽安对爱情的认识过于感性, 喜欢感情用 事,相信一见钟情的浪漫爱情童话。在选择恋爱对象的时候,玛丽安比较注重外表,当忠厚 的布兰登上校向她表示好感的时候, 她却以貌取人, 觉得布兰登年老貌丑, 不是她的意中人。 她一味的爱上了花花公子韦德比先生, 完全不管不顾更加爱护他的布兰登上校。 两部作品的 长女和次女的性格是完全相反的, 形成了强烈的对比。 长女的性格显现了当时英国社会所要 求的妇女应有的道德和贞操观,而次女聪明、机灵、大胆、富有思想和见解的性格却突显了 新时代女权主义所要求的平等,自由。 金钱在两个故事中有着举足轻重的作用。 金钱自始至终都是一条重要的线索牵引着故事 情节的发展。原本富裕的达什伍德太太一家却因丈夫的去世家产被继子及其刻薄的妻子占 有,生活变得拮据,正因如此埃莉诺才有机会认识了温柔寡言的爱德华。同样面临家产被表 亲继承的班纳特太太一家为了保住家产, 永远过着富裕的日子不惜以女儿们的终身幸福为筹 码尽其可能的巴结有权有势的宾利先生和达西先生。在《傲慢与偏见》中,作者还特别的写 出了伊丽莎白的好朋友夏洛蒂与柯林斯结婚这一幕, 在他们的婚姻中, 就明显的存在着一种 靠金钱和财富维持的感情。夏洛蒂和柯林斯之间,彼此是没有温暖和幸福的感觉的,只是过 着枯燥且平淡的生活。 这就是夏洛特和柯林斯的婚姻, 很显然成就这段婚姻的关键就是金钱。
《傲慢与偏见》和《理智与情感》的四位男主人公有着一个共同的特点——不善于表达 内心的情感。 但他们不善于表达感情的原因又是不尽相同的。 达西的不善于表达感情是源自 于他严谨、矜持和挑剔考究;宾利则是善良,开朗却缺乏主见,他难以判断简是否真的爱他 宾利从未问过简对他的感觉, 单方面的听从了达西的意见便不辞而别; 爱德华的不善于表达 则是因为他自己心中知道他与露西小姐还有婚约, 而他对埃莉诺的满腹爱意使得他在两个女 人之间摇摆不定, 布兰登上校感情则是因为成熟而内敛, 他对玛丽安的感情是给她足够的自 由。 从写作手法来说, 《理智与情感》中作者使用对比与反讽的方法。姐姐埃莉诺的理智与 妹妹玛丽安的感性用事贯穿于故事的始终。埃莉诺是“理智”的代名词,她第一次出场是她的 母亲对嫂子的粗暴举动十分不满,但是埃莉诺却不是这样她非常有见识,顾全大局,遇事冷 静。而妹妹玛丽安,她则是“情感”的代言人。她是一个直来直去的姑娘,就像她对爱情的态 度一样,她不愿隐藏和压抑自己的真实情感
,想哭就哭,想笑就笑,想怒就怒,甚至可以说 有些任性。第一次和威洛比见面后,她就急于知道他的所有信息。仅仅听了约翰爵士的几句 介绍就对威洛比有了好印象。她根本就没有自己认真思考过威洛比到底是什么样的一个人, 他到底适不适合自己。 经过几次接触, 她就匆匆和威洛比确定了恋爱关系。 《傲慢与偏见》 在 中这样的例子也比比皆是。例如,在丽迪雅与韦克翰私奔后,班纳特太太担心女儿的下落又 为女儿没有新嫁衣而烦恼。两种感情交织,让班纳特太太轮番的受折磨。故事中那些在感情 上和理智上的过分行为均遭到作者辛辣而巧妙的讽刺。 作者以她女性细致而敏感的睿智、 毫 不妥协的态度、 自信的道德意识、无所顾忌的胆略, 在作品中以浪漫的手法歌颂真、 善、美, 鞭挞假、丑、恶。 两个故事都得到了完美地结局, 故事的主人公们都找到了与自己情投意合的人。 美好的 故事总有个与之相称的结尾,爱情从来不分高低贵贱。但是在婚姻中,金钱和物质是婚姻幸 福的保障,真挚的感情、相互之间的尊重、个人人格的独立都是不可或缺的基础。我想,这 才是简·奥斯汀最想要告诉我们的道理。
『叁』 急需理智与情感的英文书评 在此先谢谢各位啦
Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen that was first published in 1811. It was the first of Austen's novels to be published, under the pseudonym "A Lady." The novel has been adapted for film and television a number of times, most notably in Ang Lee's 1995 version.
Plot introction
The story concerns two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (Elinor representing "sense" and Marianne "sensibility"). Along with their mother and younger sister Margaret, they are left impoverished after the death of their father, and the family is forced to move to a country cottage, offered to them by a generous relative.
Elinor forms an attachment to the gentle and courteous Edward Ferrars, unaware that he is already secretly engaged. After their move, Marianne meets Willoughby, a dashing young man who leads her into undisciplined behaviour, so that she ignores the attentions of the faithful (but older) Colonel Brandon.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, are impoverished after the death of her husband. His estate, Norland, must pass to John Dashwood, his son from his first marriage. Although John promised his father that he would take care of them, his selfish wife Fanny easily dissuades him from giving them their fair share of the inheritance.
Elinor becomes attached to Fanny's brother Edward Ferrars. Edward is a quiet, unassuming young man who does not aspire to be the "fine figure in the world" his mother and sister wish him to be. Elinor admires his intelligence and good sense. Edward's fortune is dependent on the will of his mother. Elinor knows that she would not like her son to marry a woman of as low a rank as she is and does not allow herself to hope for marriage.
Uncomfortable as unwanted guests in their former home, Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters move from Norland to Barton Cottage. Their landlord is Sir John Middleton, who lives in Barton Park. Lady Middleton's mother Mrs. Jennings and Colonel Brandon are staying at Barton Park. Mrs. Jennings, a good-humoured widow, thinks that Colonel Brandon is in love with Marianne and teases them both about it. Marianne disregards her because she pities Colonel Brandon as an old bachelor who has no chance of inspiring love in anyone.
On a walk in the countryside, Marianne falls and sprains her ankle. Willoughby, a dashing and handsome man, carries her back to Barton Cottage. Willoughby begins to visit Marianne every day and they become very close. Margaret sees Willoughby cutting a lock of Marianne's hair to keep with him. Elinor overhears him calling Marianne by her first name and believes that they may be secretly engaged. Willoughby leaves abruptly, telling the Dashwoods that he must go to London and will not return for a year. His departure greatly upsets Marianne.
Edward Ferrars comes to stay at Barton Cottage. However he seems unhappy and is distant towards Elinor, and she fears that he no longer has any feelings for her. However, unlike Marianne, she does not wallow in her sadness. Ann and Lucy Steele, cousins of Lady Middleton, come to visit. Sir John tells Lucy that Elinor is attached to Edward. However, Lucy then reveals to Elinor that she (Lucy) has been secretly engaged to Edward for four years. Shortly before the Dashwoods leave for Barton Cottage, Edward attempts to tell Elinor of his engagement, but because of his inability to tell Elinor quickly, is interrupted by Fanny and is unable to finish. Elinor is overcome with grief, but she keeps the information from her family as a promise to Lucy.
Elinor and Marianne spend the winter at Mrs. Jennings' home in London. Marianne writes to Willoughby, but her letters are unanswered. They meet Willoughby at a party, but he is cold and formal with them. He then sends Marianne a letter in which he denies ever having loved her and telling her that he is engaged to a Miss Grey, a very wealthy woman of inferior birth. Marianne admits to Elinor that they were not engaged, but that she still loved him and that he, while he also loved her and greatly implied it but never actually said it. Colonel Brandon reveals to Elinor that Willoughby seced his foster daughter Miss Williams and abandoned her when she became pregnant. The Colonel was once in love with Miss Williams's mother, who resembled Marianne in temperament, but whose life was destroyed by an unhappy arranged marriage to the Colonel's brother.
Later, Mrs. Jennings tells Elinor that Mrs. Ferrars has discovered Edward and Lucy's engagement. Edward refuses to end the engagement and his mother, furious because of Lucy's poverty, disinherits him. Elinor and Marianne feel sorry for Edward, and think him honourable for remaining engaged to a woman he will probably not be happy with. Ann Steele tells Elinor that Lucy still intends to marry Edward. Edward intends to take religious orders so that he can support them. Colonel Brandon offers his parish at Delaford to Edward, although he hardly knows him. Elinor meets Edward's boorish brother Robert and is shocked to discover that he has no qualms about claiming his brother's inheritance.
Marianne becomes very ill after a walk in the rain ring which she was wallowing in misery because of Willoughby, and Colonel Brandon goes to get Mrs. Dashwood. Willoughby arrives and tells Elinor that he was left with large debts when his benefactress discovered his actions towards Miss Williams and disinherited him. He then decided to marry a wealthy woman. He says that he still loves Marianne. He seeks forgiveness, but has poor excuses for his selfish actions. Meanwhile, Colonel Brandon reveals his love for Marianne to Mrs. Dashwood.
Marianne recovers and the Dashwoods return to Barton Cottage. Mrs. Dashwood wishes for Marianne to marry the Colonel, but Elinor perceives that Marianne still has a lack of regard for him. They learn that Mr. Ferrars has married Lucy. Mrs. Dashwood realises how strong Elinor's feelings for Edward are and is sorry that she did not pay more attention to her unhappiness.
However, the next day Edward arrives and reveals that it was his brother who married Lucy. He says that he was trapped in his engagement with Lucy, "a woman he had long since ceased to love," but that she had broken the engagement to marry the now wealthy Robert. Edward asks Elinor to marry him, and she agrees. Edward reconciles with his mother, and she gives him ten thousand pounds, enough for them to live comfortably. They marry and move into the parsonage at Delaford.
Over the next two years, Mrs. Dashwood, Marianne and Margaret spend most of their time at Delaford. Marianne matures and after growing to love the Colonel, decides to marry Brandon. They marry and live close to Elinor and Edward.

Critical appraisal
Austen wrote the first draft of Elinor and Marianne (later retitled Sense and Sensibility) c. 1795, when she was about 19 years old. While she had written a great deal of short fiction in her teens, Elinor and Marianne was her first full-length novel. The plot revolves around a contrast between Elinor's sense and Marianne's emotionalism; the two sisters may have been loosely based on Jane and Cassandra Austen, with Austen casting Cassandra as the restrained and well-judging sister and herself as the emotional one. Austen clearly intended to vindicate Elinor's sense and self-restraint, and on the simplest level, the novel may be read as a parody of the full-blown romanticism and sensibility that was fashionable around the 1790s. Yet Austen's treatment of the two sisters is complex and multi-faceted. Austen biographer Claire Tomalin argues that Sense and Sensibility has a "wobble in its approach," which developed because Austen, in the course of writing the novel, graally became less certain about whether sense or sensibility should triumph.[1] She endows Marianne with every attractive quality: intelligence, musical talent, frankness, and the capacity to love deeply. She also acknowledges that Willoughby, with all his faults, continues to love and, in some measure, appreciate Marianne. For these reasons, some readers find Marianne's ultimate marriage to Colonel Brandon an unsatisfactory ending.[2] The ending does, however, neatly join the themes of sense and sensibility though having the sensible sister marry her true love after long, romantic obstacles to their union, and the emotional sister find happiness with a man she did not initially love, but who was an eminently sensible choice of a husband.
The novel displays Austen's subtle irony at its best, with many outstanding comic passages about the Middletons, the Palmers, Mrs. Jennings, and Lucy Steele
『肆』 读者对理智与情感英文评价
After Reading Pride and Prejudice
How could people have the courage to go for their love in an age like that ? How could Elizabeth have the courage to be so different and so direct ? How coulde she have the courage to get near a guy like Mr. Darcy, who is cold, indeffident and apprantly of higher social status than her ? What would I do if I were her? These are the first few questions that came to me when I finish reading Pride and Prejudice.
Nowadays, people are getting more and more realistic about money and power, even more than they do in Elizabeth’s age sometimes.
I have heard of too many stories about young lovers breaking-up, because the boy is poor, or the girl has no background.
I couldn’t help wondering, is it still necessary for us to really love someone? What makes me sadder is that many times even the one you love may leave you because of such reality. Why don’t we just give up loving and let our parents choose our life partners? They must have much more experience in judging a person than we do. Why don’t we just get back to the ancient times and let the rich mary the rich and let the poor stick to the poor? Why do people still want free-love?
I can hear a lot of friends saying that all the lovers in university are meant to break up. We are senior students now, and I have seen two of my friends breaking up with their boyfriends in just this month. I couldn’t help getting a little afraid. I don’t know where I am going. In an age like this which is much more open-minded and civilized than the age of Elizabeth’s, why couldn’t people have the courage to confront difficuly and struggle for love?
I try so hard to find answers of these questions, but I just couldn’t. The world is getting more and more cold. But I still believe that true love is the most precious thing in a person’s life. I hope people could be brave and protect true love from being sullied by the crule reality.

『柒』 理智与情感的影片评价
“这部《理智与情感》已经盖上了李安典型的内敛导演风格不可磨灭的印章虽然这个埃莉诺比人们期待的要老一些,但艾玛·汤普森还是成功发掘出了这个角色感人的脆弱性,而在《罪孽天使》有过如此抢眼表现的凯特·温丝莱特,也完美在捕捉到了玛丽安理想化的浪漫受到背叛时的困惑。”——迈克尔·德怀尔(Michael Dwyer),《爱尔兰时报评》
《理智与情感》这部电影在李安所有的电影作品中或许算不上是最出彩,但却最坦诚地道出了他心中永远的主题:理智与情感的冲突。
在这部电影中,李安最善于表达拿捏的人物当然是隐忍的姐姐艾琳诺。镜头中她在静静聆听露西跟她述说与爱德华的甜蜜往事时她眼中悄悄的闪过一丝哀怨,与爱德华在伦敦重逢时保持的陌生的礼貌,这样的隐忍压抑,正是李安东方式的思维最善于表达和捕捉的情感。李安用他东方人的保守含蓄,诠释了英国古典文化的优雅矜持。而片子的末尾,内心情感丰富但同时又理智清醒的艾琳诺最终收获了理想的爱情,是简奥斯汀对于理智与情感如何平衡所给出的答案。而对于李安,这个课题永不会结束。在他之前与之后的作品中,这一主题贯穿始终,并且每一次都迸发出了迷人的魅力。(林韵涛评)

『玖』 电影《Sense and Sensibility》即《理智与情感》的影评谢谢!最好是英文
Sense and Sensibility was the first novel Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic——a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferraris, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.
Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; Meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.
