金锁记

        伴着饭茶的香味,我读完了张爱玲的《金锁记》。记得小时候我喜欢一边吃饭,一边看书。父亲总是不太赞同,怕吃饭的时候看书会伤了脾胃。不知冥冥之中,他是否会不赞成地摇头。
        In the fragrance of rice and tea, I finished reading the book The Golden Cangue, written by Eileen Chang (zhāng ài líng). When I was young, I always enjoyed reading and eating the same time. My father never liked that. He thought it was very bad to my stomach and digestion. Maybe in another world, he is still worried about me right now.

         曹七巧是整个故事的主人公。乱点的鸳鸯谱让她嫁入豪门,但先生是一个病秧子。出生平常人家的七巧与夫家的人格格不入,让要强的她感到处处受冷落。人情的冷暖,人世的变迁,最终将她的性格打造得乖张冷漠,那阴冷得生毒的心又毁掉了她的一对儿女。
         Cáo Qīqiǎo is the main role of the book. The mismatched arranged marriage takes her into a big rich family. But her husband is always deeply sick. Growing up in an ordinary family, Cáo Qīqiǎo is never really accepted by her husband's family. Her heart becomes cold, hard and twisted after all the up and down in her life. The poison of hatred ruins her life and then the life of her son and daughter.

那个社会,那样的家庭 -- 阴冷
That society, that family ---  cold and dark

生活在里面的人们 --   乖张
The people who live in it --  surly

尚存一丝美好向往的心灵  -- 愤怒
The mind who still pursuits happiness --  filled with anger

故事的结尾  --  死一样的沉寂
End of the story -- dead silence



        在网上查查相关的信息,才发现这个故事已经有很多不同的艺术再现形式。
 After I searched the Internet, I found that the story has been on stage in different art forms.
