本书由三个文本组成。 *个文本是D（狄亚努斯）的日志，它构成了被称为 鼠的故事 的*部分。这部分以D的视角展开，记述了他与B的情乱，同时，在这场混乱的激情中，A（阿尔法主教）作为一个衔接D与B之关系的人物在场。 *部分也涉及了D与E的情乱，而这构成了第二个文本的记述核心。第二部分被称为 狄亚努斯 ，是A的笔记。这部分以A的视角展开。 这两个文本共同结构了本书的故事。被称为 俄瑞斯忒斯 的第三部分则更像是一个总的视角，或者说，一则诗性概述。它由诗歌和诗论组成。巴塔耶写道： 为了在一片明显的不可能中抓住一丝可能，我必须首先想象相反的情境。

《 红楼梦 英译笔记》是霍克思当年在翻译《红楼梦》时所做的笔记与部分草稿。笔记一共四册，写明日期的有三册，从1970年11月到1979年6月，还有第四册无日期，主要是《红楼梦》中诗词的注释、解释与翻译草稿。 这些笔记是研究霍氏译文极其重要的第一手材料，因为它是译者思考与阅读过程的忠实记录，也是现存为数不多的霍氏亲笔文件之一。从中不仅能学习到一些做学问、搞翻译的方法，对研究《红楼梦》乃至其他中国文学作品英译也深有启发。 香港的岭南大学文学与翻译研究中心曾于2000年5月影印出版《英译笔记》，如今早已不易得见。今商务印书馆将其重新影印并在内地出版，以飨学界诸公。

In the days leading up to the recent Gulf War, Stothard was granted access to the besieged world of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The result is in-depth political journalism with a touch of Upstairs Downstairs. Stothard, editor of the Times Literary Supplement and former editor of the Times of London, draws a critical but sympathetic portrait of Blair as a politician who is willing to risk his historical legacy in order to do what he believes to be the right thing: stick by President Bush and the unpopular (in Europe) attack on Iraq. It may come as a surprise to many American readers how close Stothard believes Blair was to losing his grip on power. They might also be surprised how close Blair, a political cousin of Bill Clinton, felt ideologically to Bush-and that the two shared a religious conviction to attack Iraq and oust Saddam Hussein. Blair, he writes, "has the powerful Christian seriousness of the not-quite-yet convert." Although the book is full of Briticisms-some members of Parliament are "runn

This same acute power of observation is evidentin his diaries from Morocco, as well as at home, where his domesticdiaries chart the progress of his garden and animals with a keeneye; the wartime diaries, from de*ions of events overseas tothe daily violence closer to home, describe astutely hisperspective on the politics of both, and provide a new and entirelyrefreshing insight into Orwell's character and his great works.

The text has been rigor-ously annotated for student readers and is accompanied by a textual appendix.

在线阅读本书 The Moonstone, a priceless Indian diamond which had come to England as spoils of war, is given to Rachel Verrinder on her 18th birthday. That night, the stone is stolen. The phlegmatic Sergeant Cuff is called in, and with the help of the loquacious steward, Betteredge, the mystery is solved. From AudioFile This seminal English mystery is presented in an unusual, but appropriate, manner, reflecting the episodic nature of the story. Three actors present the story in parts, taking on separate first-person accounts of events. All the voices are convincing, cultured British intonations describing the events surrounding the apparent theft of the Moonstone diamond from a country mansion. Each voice shades the various characters featured within the particular parts, just as the narrative offers characterizations of the other persons without attempting an outright mimicry. The abridgment is nicely done, too, avoiding any choppiness.
