I have always fondly remembered a remark that I heard fall years ago from the lips of Ivan Turgenev in regard to his own experience of the usual origin of the fictive picture. It began for him almost always with the vision of some person or persons, who hovered before him, soliciting him, as the active or passive figure, interesting him and appealing to him just as they were and by what they were. He saw them, in that fashion, as disponibles, saw them subject to the chances, the complications of existence, and saw them vividly, but then had to find for them the right relations, those that would most bring them out; to imagine, to invent and select and piece together the situations most useful and favorable to the sense of the creatures themselves, the complications they would be most likely to produce and to feel. "To arrive at these things is to arrive at my 'story, '" he said, "and that's the way I look for it. The result is that I'm often accused of not having 'story' enough. I seem to myself to have as much as I need -- to show my people, to exhibit their relations with each other; for that is all my measure. If I watch them long enough I see them come together, I see them PLACED, I see them engaged in this or that act and in this or that difficulty. How they look and move and speak and behave, always in the setting I have found for them, is my account of them -- of which I dare say, alas, QUE CELA MANQUE SOUVENT D'ARCHITECTURE. But I would rather, I think, have too little architecture than too much -- when there's danger of its interfering with my measure of the truth. The French of course like more of it than I give -- having by their own genius such a hand for it; and indeed onemust give all one can. As for the origin of one's wind-blown germs themselves, who shall say, as you ask, where THEY come from?" -- Henry James
孔子说:一个人的好坏可以从周围的人判断得知。但不是所以人都说好和坏。而是周围的好人都喜欢,周围的坏人都讨厌。这种人才是好人。当然坏人就正好相反。而伊莎贝尔就遇上了这样的人,即梅尔夫人和吉尔伯特·奥斯蒙德。她周围较亲近的人都不“喜欢”他们,而他们却受到其他人...
評分已经把书还了,但是所有情节都在我脑海里恣意伸展。第一次发现,用心去读一本心理描写丰富的外国小说是如此惬意如此涤荡心灵的历程。亨利詹姆斯爱用大段的景物烘托,爱花大量笔墨去勾勒人物内心活动,爱置身事外评论他笔下的人物……这些都是从前见了外国作品就绕道而行...

評分读这本书前几章时,乃至整部小说的阅读过程中,我常常几乎以为自己打开的是简·奥斯汀的第七本小说(类似她的女同胞J·K·罗琳,最厚的一本)。的确,这位在他72岁时终于加入英国国籍的美国人,在小说开篇时以优雅闲适的语言——这语言常被认为是不可翻译的,但博尔赫斯说:“...
