No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respec-table man, though his name was Richard - and he had never been handsome. He had a considerable indepen-dence besides two good livings - and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as anybody might expect, she still lived on - lived to have six children more - to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number; but the Morlands had little other right to the word, for they were in general very plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. She had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark lank hair, and strong features - so much for her person; and not less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind.

I finally finished the book. The plot is more arresting than that of Persuadion. I really feel the power of Miss austen's building up such a detestable character as John Thorpe who is all self-important, selfish, unscrupulous. She is not a admirable bro...
評分先說一點題外話,喜歡看外國文學的人大概都知道一個好的譯本是多麼重要,流暢的錶達,準確的用詞,完美的句式,讀起來讓人朗朗上口,酣暢淋灕。之前看過奧斯丁的《艾瑪》,翻譯過來的文字讀起來簡直就像是在火星文,怎麼會有這樣說話的人呢,何況還是鼎鼎有名的作傢,這一定都...
評分以我的閱讀經驗來看,《諾桑覺寺》並不是奧斯汀最成熟的小說之一,但勝在有趣。 主角凱瑟琳沒有太多獨特鮮明的特質,普普通通,不至於太聰明卻也不至於太笨。比起凱瑟琳,更有意思的是她的“閨蜜”伊莎貝拉,一個需要讀者不斷進行揣摩和探究的角色。伊莎貝拉的性格看似鮮明,但...
評分纔看瞭這本書。 看的時候時不時地笑得……纔發現那樣的奧斯汀,其實很有趣。 還記得達西先生,溫特沃斯先生也有印象,這次的是誰呢……讓我想想,是亨利! 因為奧斯汀偶爾地插入話語,這本書顯得十分……奇特。她的話透著那麼點狡黠,那麼點幽默,那麼點智慧…… 現在還記得那...
