"So sings the poet, and so agrees the world. Humiliating as it is to make the confession, it is undeniably true. "Men and Dress are all women think about," cry the lords of creation in their unbounded vanity. And again, we must submitand agree-to the truth of the accusation; at any rate, in nine cases out of ten. Fortunately I am a tenth case; at least, I consider myself so. I don't dispute the "dress" imputation. I am very fond of dress. Nearly as fond of it as the twenty-year old youth, and saying that, I allow a good deal."

读后感

印象是一本讲道理的警世箴言小册子. 作者特地站在19世纪末女性的角度来评论生活中的各种现象. 记得当初看的时候有些道理还是挺震撼的. 不过现在只记得有些很柔美的插图. 每一篇开头都有英文的精华摘抄. 那个很不错.

06年才出的书我以为应该很新，我是说语言上； 可看少许特意被编者留下的原文，实在是诘屈－－再细看，果然是一百多年前维多利亚时代的作品，那么就很正常了。 译者记有些言过其实，百余年前的闲念，再一针见血，今天来看，也不过平平。 怪不得作者，要怪，只怪翻译得那么迟。
