| 克雷洛夫寓言突破了西方寓言仅借动物故事来做道德训诫的成规,把含有劝谕性的寓言变成了雅俗共赏的讽刺文学作品。在艺术上,克雷洛夫寓言善于选择富有戏剧特征的情节,具有独特的幽默感。如蚂蚁大力士进城后的悲哀,狐狸法官对农民的判决……表现形式多种多样,语言简朴、幽默,却又和谐优美,很有韵味。总之,克雷洛夫的寓言具有强烈的现实性,其讽刺富于概括力,对普希金、涅克拉索夫、果戈理和谢德林等作家产生了很大的影响。书中红色生词加以注释,从而极大地方便了读者阅读本书,给相应英语水平的读者提供流利阅读纯英文的范本。 |
| 1769年2月13日,是俄国著名剧作家、寓言家克雷洛夫的生日。他出生于莫斯科一个下级军官的家庭,曾是一个新闻工作者,先后担任过《早晨》、《精灵邮报》等讽刺刊物的编辑、写过许多讽刺性的文学。同时,他还写过多部讽刺剧《疯狂的家庭》、《恶作剧的人们》等。但他主要成就,还是由于他写了206篇寓言。 1819年,克雷洛夫50岁时,为了能阅读古希腊诗人荷马的诗歌和伊索寓言的原文,决心学会古希腊语,朋友劝他:“人到五十岁学外语是很困难的。”他说:“只要有决心和毅力,任何时候学都不晚。”从此,他不得不配眼镜。两年后,他熟练地掌握了古希腊语,很流利地读起伊索寓言的原文,这使他的朋友、古希腊语专家格涅季奇惊叹不已。 克雷洛夫的寓言写的都是鸟虫鱼兽、山水花草,但是却都表现了现实的内容,因此,对读者极具感染力。克雷洛夫的寓言还有一个特点,就是他用语简朴、幽默、风趣而吸引人,且吸收了大量民间谚语和俗语,使文章显得通俗生动而富有亲切感。现在他的寓言已被译成几十种文字在世界各地出版。 |
