失樂(lè)園：Paradise Lost（英文版）

這世界上絕大多數(shù)人即便不是基督徒，相信也都聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)亞當(dāng)、夏娃和伊甸園的故事。其實(shí)，真正將《圣經(jīng)·舊約》中只有500字的簡(jiǎn)單敘事內(nèi)容賦予氣勢(shì)宏偉的語(yǔ)言和曲折離奇的情節(jié)，并使之成為一部史詩(shī)巨作的，是17世紀(jì)英國(guó)著名詩(shī)人約翰·密爾頓，這部鴻篇巨著名曰《失樂(lè)園》。約翰·密爾頓（1608—1674）是英國(guó)文學(xué)史上最偉大的六大詩(shī)人之一，他的無(wú)韻體史詩(shī)《失樂(lè)園》與荷馬的《荷馬史詩(shī)》、但丁的《神曲》（“最經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)文庫(kù)”已經(jīng)分三冊(cè)出版面世）并稱(chēng)為西方三大詩(shī)歌?！妒?lè)園》這部史詩(shī)描寫(xiě)了這樣的故事情節(jié)：魔鬼撒旦逃離了地牢，來(lái)到上帝為人類(lèi)始祖亞當(dāng)和夏娃建立的伊甸園，誘惑他們偷吃了區(qū)分善惡樹(shù)的禁果。他們無(wú)知并墮落，引發(fā)上帝震怒。一氣之下，上帝將亞當(dāng)和夏娃逐出了伊甸園。他們兩人的行為，成為人類(lèi)原罪的起源，并因此導(dǎo)致死亡、痛苦、饑荒、瘟疫在地球上泛濫。然而，上帝并沒(méi)有趕盡殺絕，而是賜予了人類(lèi)救贖的機(jī)會(huì)，差遣耶穌基督做救贖，使人類(lèi)可以通過(guò)堅(jiān)韌的信念和誠(chéng)心的悔改重新回歸樂(lè)園。

羅密歐與朱麗葉（英文版）

莎士比亞一生的創(chuàng)作可分為四個(gè)時(shí)期。從26歲至30歲這一時(shí)期是其創(chuàng)作的第一個(gè)時(shí)期，這一時(shí)期，莎士比亞的寫(xiě)作以模仿古羅馬喜劇和悲劇為主，是習(xí)作時(shí)期。當(dāng)時(shí)的英國(guó)流行塞內(nèi)加悲劇，即“血的悲劇”，莎士比亞寫(xiě)過(guò)這種劇本?！读_密歐與朱麗葉》是莎翁第二個(gè)創(chuàng)作時(shí)期的精品，表明他已掌握了創(chuàng)作藝術(shù)，文筆流暢，臻于成熟。這一時(shí)期的作品大都?xì)g樂(lè)向上，富有詩(shī)意。1601年，莎士比亞創(chuàng)作了《哈姆雷特》（本輯已收錄），開(kāi)始了他創(chuàng)作的第三個(gè)時(shí)期。在整整八年時(shí)間里，莎翁洞悉了世間所有邪惡，以至他近乎悲觀到絕望的程度，因此，這一時(shí)期創(chuàng)作的喜劇也是悲苦的。最后一個(gè)時(shí)期莎翁采用了新的創(chuàng)作形式——悲喜劇或傳奇劇。他的悲喜劇寧?kù)o、莊重、趣味幽雅，這一時(shí)期最有代表性的作品就是《暴風(fēng)雨》?！读_密歐與朱麗葉》雖然是悲劇，但其結(jié)局卻完全符合莎翁時(shí)期的喜劇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。羅密歐和朱麗葉一見(jiàn)傾心，但卻因封建世仇，戀愛(ài)受到阻撓，導(dǎo)致二人早逝。最終，雙方家長(zhǎng)鑒于世仇鑄成的悲劇而言歸于好。作品反映了人文主義者的愛(ài)情理想與封建惡習(xí)、封建壓迫之間的沖突。在創(chuàng)作手法上，莎翁以抒情的筆調(diào)，用日光、月光、星光等象征光明的意象，來(lái)形容青春和愛(ài)情的美好，譜寫(xiě)了一首贊美青春和愛(ài)情的頌歌。作品中，羅密歐與朱麗葉在月夜陽(yáng)臺(tái)上對(duì)話(huà)的場(chǎng)景，已成為經(jīng)典。一對(duì)相愛(ài)的青年雖然死了，但美好的事物和真正的愛(ài)情是不朽的，在付出代價(jià)之后，封建偏見(jiàn)是可以被克服的。
