1、1995简.奥斯丁的小说都是三五户人家居家度日，婚恋嫁娶的小事。因此不少中国读 者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。但一部小说开掘得深不深，艺术和 思想是否有过人之处，的确不在题材大小。有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越 有味道的橄榄。这不仅因为她的语言精彩，并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的 贡献，也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白，那么透明。史密斯夫 人说过，女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序，改变人们对“重要”和“不重 要”的看法。也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度，明察到“小事” 的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。参考译文：However, subject matter is in

5、国人手中的名片和请柬，随笔记下来，似乎不无借鉴之处。在巴黎，名目繁多的酒会，冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人 相识，如果是亚洲人，他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈 递给对方，这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而，法国人一般却都不大主动递送名 片，双方见面寒暄几句，甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开，只有当双方谈 话投机，希望继续交往时，才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒显得有 些勉强。参考译文：In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportuniti
